This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fm The Iran war’s back on, oil prices are back up, the Republican election outlook is back down. But…it’s not playing out as an existential political crisis for Donald Trump. In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss: * Why Trump was unable to make surrender stick; * The peculiar case of the missing oil crisis; * Whether Trump’s untrustworthiness, and Iran’s experience exploiting U.S. election deadlines, means he’ll be unable to get another ceasefire on the books before November. Then, why aren’t Trump’s horrifying failures triggering a flight to safety among his political allies? Is it because the Democratic Party is in shambles? Or because Trump loyalists control too much of the media? A bit of both? What do Ken Martin’s failures as DNC chair tell us about the state of Democratic opposition politics? And should we take heart in the fact that Democratic pushback against an oligarchic takeover of Warner Bros. seems to be working? Answers are available in full to listeners and viewers on YouTube.
