Articulating an America-First Foreign Policy Devoid of False Choices | Guest: Kyle Shideler | 1/30/24

Some on the Right are claiming that we need to be pacifist in the face of Iranian aggression lest we risk a return to 20 years of neocon, Wilsonian interventionism. We’re joined today by Kyle Shideler of the Center for Security Policy, who shows us how these voices on the Right are misjudging the Biden administration. Biden has no intention of starting a war with Iran and is in fact using our soldiers as hostages so when they inevitably get attacked, he can blame Israel. He explains how simply returning to Trump-era alliances would restore deterrent without sucking us into a painful war. Also, I go through some of the early congressional primaries and urge listeners to vote against incumbents.
