Kevin Hassett and Scott Besson are the most out-of-touch doofuses ever to speak for a White House during high prices.
The hosts analyze the Iran war's escalation into a global economic crisis, criticizing Trump's handling and the $200 billion Pentagon funding request. They discuss political fallout, including a resignation over the war's justification, and cover Democratic primaries where AIPAC's influence is contested. The episode blends policy critique with interviews and cultural commentary.
