The Cost Of War Is More Than Oil

In This Episode

The war with Iran has already killed more than a thousand Iranians, including 175 people killed at an elementary school on February 28th. According to multiple news outlets, a preliminary report from the U.S. military says the U.S. was at fault for that strike. President Donald Trump previously said Saturday that Iran was at fault for the attack and then, on Wednesday, replied, “I don’t know about it,” when a reporter asked him about the investigation. It’s part of a larger pattern in the Trump administration’s messaging about the war. From why we’re in this conflict in the first place, to what our goals are, to when this war will end, there’s a fog around everything. Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly joins the show to discuss how members of Congress are dealing with the White House’s stonewalling.
And in headlines, President Donald Trump travels to Ohio and Kentucky to downplay concerns about the economy, no one has any idea what Kristi Noem’s new job entails, and newly released deposition videos show a former DOGE staffer struggling to answer basic questions about DEI.
