There’s a growing fog over what exactly American forces accomplished in Iran on Saturday—and whether regime change is still on the table. Steve Hayes is joined by Jonah Goldberg and Mike Warren to discuss the intelligence-gathering process and why Iran is just not the same as Iraq, as well as New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary. Will Mamdani’s victory be good news for the Trump administration and for Florida’s real estate market?
The Agenda:
—Iran, Saturday to today
—Intelligence, national security, and institutional trust
—Vietnam Syndrome turned Iraq Syndrome
—Where the wind might be blowing on Iran’s regime change
—Why NYC’s mayoral race might be good for Florida real estate
—Campaign advice
—Summer sips and the speculative history of Orange Crush
Show notes:
—Mike Warren for The Dispatch: “What the Iran Strike Reveals About MAGA’s Future”
—Jeffrey Goldberg on The Remnant
—Kevin Williamson for The Dispatch: “Yes to Regime Change in Iran”
—Jeremiah Johnson for The Dispatch: “Mamdani’s Big Apple Upset”
