## Resource

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) returns to the Daily Beast Podcast to break down why he believes America is repeating the same costly mistakes in the Middle East, what years of combat taught him about war, and why he says the latest agreement with Iran leaves the U.S. weaker than before. Rep. Crow tells Joanna Coles what Republican lawmakers tell him behind closed doors about Donald Trump, explains why he thinks Congress has abandoned its constitutional responsibilities, and lays out his plan to investigate what he calls the Trump family's unprecedented corruption if Democrats retake the House. Plus, he weighs in on Pete Hegseth, JD Vance's role inside the administration, and the symbolism behind Trump's sweeping changes to Washington that he argues reveal far more than politics.
