The Opinions · ‘Platner Is Vile.’ McConnell Is Missing. Welcome to American Politics. · 11 Jul 2026 podcast

a word that kind of captures this insane week for you.

That sounds a little ominous.

I like that.

It's a very intriguing entree into our discussion.

So...

I'm going to latch on to the exposure and humiliation of Graham Plattner.

I myself cannot stop rage texting my friends and colleagues about this.

I'd like to apologize to David French, who's already had an earful about this.

And the epic disgrace that was the Democrats now ex-Senate nominee in Maine.

We also do need to talk about the mysterious disappearance of Senator Mitch McConnell, who has been hospitalized now for nearly a month with no clear explanation of what's going on, just stirring up all kinds of crazy rumors on the right.

And which resurrects the question of how much Americans are entitled to know about the private lives and health of our elected officials.

But first, I think we got to go global.

We got to look at the Iran ceasefire that basically never was.

So at the NATO summit earlier this week, President Trump suggested that the ceasefire with Iran is over.

Turns out that that loose agreement announced last month left a little too many sticky issues on the table.

And so here we are.

As of our taping this Thursday morning, there have been tit-for-tat strikes, along with Trumpian threats to, of course, take it farther.

So how are you guys feeling about this situation?

Any chance the administration is going to sort this out and reach a deal before the mid-August deadline set by the Memorandum of Understanding?

David French, you go first.
