Only 21% Want War With Iran. So Why Are We Doing This? | 1730

Trump might strike Iran tomorrow or never, and that uncertainty is the point. Nate and Chuck break down why the real scandal is how quickly "limited government" voices become fine with unilateral war when it is their guy in charge. They react to Tucker Carlson's interview with Mike Huckabee, including the moment Huckabee doesn't push back at all on the assumption that war with Iran is coming. Then they dig into a University of Maryland poll showing only 21% support for initiating an attack, and the even bigger problem: most people cannot explain whose interests this war serves. Finally, they walk through the War Powers framework, why Congress is supposed to own this decision, and why the public's apathy keeps empowering forever-war politics.
