The Worst Way to Spend $200 Billion

In This Episode

The Pentagon requests an additional $200 billion in funding for Trump’s war in Iran. Jon and Dan discuss how Democrats in Congress should respond to the request, the administration’s insistence that rising gas prices are nothing to worry about, and the resignation of a high-ranking intelligence official, Joe Kent, over the administration’s decision to go to war with Iran. Then, they talk about Tulsi Gabbard’s and Markwayne Mullin’s explosive hearings on the Hill, AIPAC’s impact on Tuesday’s Democratic primaries in Illinois, and Trump’s latest money-making venture — putting himself on a commemorative gold coin. Then, Juliana Stratton, the new Democratic nominee for Senate in Illinois, talks to Dan about her simple, effective anti-Trump message.
