Dispatch Live: GOP Plays Hardball on Border Deal, Biden Weighs Options on Iran

Join us for our weekly livestreamed conversation.

Mike hosts tonight’s livestream and will be joined by John and David (M. Drucker) for a brief campaign update. The trio will then explore the question: Is an imperfect immigration deal better than no immigration deal at all? Next, Grayson and James will discuss this morning’s TMD item on an Iran-backed militia killing U.S. soldiers. James will round out the conversation by diving into Biden’s pause on new liquified gas exports. 

Grab a drink (or a few), get your questions ready, and join us at 8 p.m. ET on YouTube for this week’s Dispatch Live.
