$200B Iran War Bill, Pearl Harbor Joke, and a Fake Hearing
from The Lonely Liberal · host Nick Zenkin
It's week four of the Iran war, and the only thing Trump doesn't have is an exit strategy. This week Nick and Rick break down a stacked news cycle: the Pentagon is asking Congress for $200 billion to fund a war nobody authorized, Trump insulted Japan's Prime Minister to her face by joking about Pearl Harbor, and Attorney General Pam Bondi held a "briefing" on the Epstein files so evasive that Democrats walked out halfway through. Plus: the Pentagon quietly plans to keep the National Guard in DC through 2029, two FBI agents sue Kash Patel for firing them because they investigated Trump, the DHS shutdown hits day 35 as TSA workers quit and airport security lines stretch two hours, and Trump's Board of Peace puts a disarmament proposal on the table for Hamas — while Hamas sits back and waits to see how the Iran war plays out first.
