Summary

Will Saletan is joined by Ben Parker to break down Mike Waltz’s Sunday show appearances defending Trump’s Iran strategy. As Waltz struggles to explain the administration’s goals, timeline, and endgame, they examine the contradictions, the unanswered questions about U.S. munitions and diplomacy, and what it all says about whether the White House has a coherent plan for the war.
