Will the Iran War reshape American politics? How could it affect the future of U.S -Israel relations?
Dan is joined by New York Times columnist Ross Douthat to examine how the Iran War is influencing both parties. They unpack why support for the war tracks with support for President Trump, why protests have been surprisingly muted, and how the war is accelerating existing political trends.

[gentle music] War has returned to Israel. Israelis have spent the last days in their safe rooms and in public bomb shelters. Buildings have been hit, and tragically, civilians have been killed. As Israel and the United States continue their military offensive, Israelis brace for sustained rocket fire. And at the scene of these attacks, United Hatzalah volunteers, EMTs, medics, paramedics, and doctors are working to save lives, often showing up in the first minutes to evacuate people stuck in buildings, supply medical care to the wounded, and provide first aid to many others impacted. Their volunteers are often in the critical first minutes after rocket impact. Their services, which are always free, are a vital lifeline to the people of Israel. You can make sure that they have the life -aving equipment and supplies they need right now, bulletproof vests and helmets, tactical stretchers for evacuations, oxygen kits, and whatever else they need to meet this moment in Israel. Visit israelrescue.org/callmeback. That's israelrescue.org/callmeback. Or go to the link in my show notes to learn more and support United Hatzalah's critical efforts.
