On today’s “To the Contrary” Podcast, I’m joined by The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols for a wide-ranging conversation on a week that felt like it was pulled from a dystopian novel. From a U.S. Senator being manhandled at a press conference to Trump’s military parade dreams and the radicalization of the armed forces, Nichols warns of authoritarian drift masked as political theater. We also dig into Israel’s bold strike on Iran, and whether the world is stumbling into a war it won't be able to control. LANGUAGE WARNING… especially when we briefly mention Corey Lewandowski.)
