Description

Tim Miller takes on Trump's last-minute decision to stand down from a planned military strike on Iran, and why the real story isn't the diplomacy, it's who's doing the asking. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE told Trump to hold off, and he said yes.

Hegseth had a full scale attack on Iran planned tomorrow and yet was busy speaking at a campaign rally for the GOP opposition of incumbent Massie. The Secretary of War has inherently under the constitution to be a apolitical role. Hegseth said he was there as a private citizen yet was introduced with his title his shirt unbuttoned like he was on his way to happy hour and of course arrived via his government issued plane with full security detail and local police security which are all paid for by the American taxpayer and voter. New day new low!
