The MeidasTouch Podcast · Rep. Auchincloss Discusses Trump’s Disastrous Iran Deal · 10 Apr 2026 podcast

And what I have proposed, and it's an outline though, is that in some ways you have to make the problem bigger.

And what I mean by that is just focused on

Israel versus Hezbollah or even America versus Iran is actually missing what I think is the broader picture which is a greater Mediterranean alliance.

We've got Ukraine all the way through to the Middle East that really have to be knit together in a defense energy and logistics infrastructure.

And we can do that, one, by reinforcing the Abraham Accords with an air defense substructure, two, by investing in the India-Middle East Economic Corridor, which basically creates ports and pipelines to connect the Middle East with Europe directly, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, and three, by strengthening NATO and tying NATO and the Abraham Accords more closely together.

We really need an arc from Ukraine all the way through our allies in the Middle East

that is a bulwark against hostility from Russia and hostility from Iran, and allows the United States to focus on what is truly our pacing adversary in the 21st century, which is China and the Indo-Pacific.

I'll go on Fox anytime they'll have me.

They have me less frequently these days than they used to.

I think because I do get under the president's skin and he lets them know about it.

The reason I do that though is because we know a template for beating this administration.

And what it requires is one, you've got to drive some wedges into the MAGA coalition.

Two, you've got to get dissenters within the administration.

Three, you've got to get outside groups, whether they be industry, whether they be academic, whether they be civil society groups.

And then four, using those three things, you then have to get congressional Republicans.

So we've done this template, for example, with the National Institutes of Health.

We've done this to a certain degree on ICE and on pulling back from their worst excesses in Minnesota.

And now we've done this on Epstein.

and now we've got to do this uh on on this war we we have got to box in this president's unilateral authority to conduct war and peace because he's a lunatic uh and we got to pass a war powers resolution we've got to demand a two-thirds vote in the senate for any agreement that he would try to ink with iran and the way to do that it starts with driving wedges into the mega coalition and on this issue

we have tailwinds because i think a lot of the mega coalition are looking at a president who talked about an america first foreign policy they're seeing him bomb seven different countries in his first year and have to ask china china's help to lower gas prices for americans that does not sound like an america first foreign policy congressman talk to us about simple but not easy or substack before we go
