Summary

This week Seena and Travis talk through Trump and Netanyahu’s insane plot to return Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s loathsome former president, to power. The plot (thank all that is good) ultimately failed, but why it happened in the first place and how exactly it failed is a testament to how disconnected from reality the two men who started this war are.
