I'm Jon Favreau.

On today's show, we'll talk about how the Iran war has reignited as gas prices reach record highs, all while Trump's approval continues to crater with just six months left until the midterms.

But could Democrats blow it?

Of course we could.

We'll talk about all the reasons why, including redistricting hiccups, Republicans wooing John Fetterman, and Ken Martin crushing it at the DNC.

Then I talk with Strict Scrutiny's Melissa Murray about the appeals court ruling on Mifit-Pristone, new threats to safe and legal abortion, and Melissa's new book explaining the Constitution for you, the modern reader.

Thank you.

The ceasefire in the Iran war has basically collapsed and oil prices are spiking again after Trump rejected Iran's latest offer to deal with the Strait of Hormuz before tackling the nuclear issue.

The president then announced Project Freedom.

His expertly crafted plan to have the U.S.

military, quote, guide commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, which almost immediately ran into the minor issue of Iran launching missiles and drones at said ships from small boats, despite Trump repeatedly assuring us that Iran's military capabilities have been destroyed.

Iran also resumed attacks on the UAE and Oman.
