Kamala's Misdirection, Putin's Fantasy Annexations, and Where's Khamenei?

Duane Patterson and I dissect the top stories this morning, including Kamala Harris' latest embarrassment on the DMZ. We delve into Vladimir Putin's annexation plans and how little connection they have to reality in Ukraine, or in Russia. In another other foreign policy crisis, Joe Biden has been absent  as Iranians revolt against Ali Khamenei's mullahcracy ...  but Khamenei has been absent as well. Where is he and what does his absence portend?Plus we look at breaking economic data which shows that inflationary erosion of buying power is worse than first reported -- much worse.
