Nancy Mace is out, the DOJ is investigating Gavin Newsom for being hotter than JD Vance, and Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire — built largely on government contracts he's spent his career trying to take away from everyone else.
Then, political commentator and filmmaker Josh Greene joins to (ironically) celebrate Elon Musk’s totally deserved new trillionaire status, along with (unironically) enjoying how great Iran is doing on the soccer field and at the negotiating table. MoU anyone?
Then, journalist and author Peter Beinart joins to discuss the US-Iran deal, what the war on Iran has done to the broader question of Palestinian rights, and the strange ideological company progressives now share with Tucker Carlson in opposing Israel's conduct. We also discuss his book Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza — his argument that American Jews must reject a narrative of permanent victimhood that has enabled the community to look away from Palestinian suffering, and what a new story might actually look like.
