It was a particularly busy week in politics. We discuss President Trump’s prime-time address about the Iran war, Pam Bondi’s exit as attorney general, rising gas prices, and the White House’s request for an unprecedented $1.5 trillion in defense spending. This episode: political correspondent Ashley Lopez, national security correspondent Greg Myre, White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro. This podcast was produced by Bria Suggs and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
