Welcome to Pod Save America. I'm Don Favre.
I'm Dan Pfeiffer.
On today's show, we got some fresh new polling that shows Trump's forever wars dragging down his party and boosting Democrats. We'll also talk about the president's spirited defense of data centers and launching Saudi Arabia's nuclear program. Congratulations. As well as all the drama over which states will go first in the 2028 presidential primary calendar. which the DNC is debating as we speak. Then Dan talks to our pal and former Obama colleague, Jennifer Palmieri, who's out with a new series co-produced by your friends here at Crooked about the politics of the South. All right. With just about 100 days left until the midterms, Trump is ramping up the two forever wars he started that are now bankrupting the country, his war with Iran and his trade war with everyone.
He told Axios this morning, quote, I am considering a massive attack on Iran bigger than ever before because Iran, quote, hasn't received enough pain yet. This despite a U.S. intelligence report that more bombing won't change Iran's negotiating position. Nothing's getting through the straits right now. Oil is now back over $100 a barrel. Gas is back over $4 a gallon. And Trump had to go to Dover Air Force Base on Wednesday to witness the dignified transfer of four more Americans who lost their lives in this war. Here's what the commander in chief had to say about all of this at an event in Georgia later in the day.
This is with this skirmish we have with the Islamic Republic of Iran. And I call it that. Because let me tell you, they're getting hit so hard. When I go to Dover, I read charts on all of the young people. And some are unbelievable. Some are a little bit, you know, they got a little bit of a little couple of little bad things put in. This is a son who is like a flawless, perfect person. He's looking down right here. He's so proud right now. So together, we're making our country safer and stronger and far more successful than it's ever been before. And that's happening before your very eyes. I fought ourselves before, as you know, and we won. We had a great success against this guy. He reminds me of Pinky Herman.
Do you ever see Pinky Herman?
You ever see Pinky Herman, Dan?
No, no, I haven't seen Pinky Herman.
A few things about that. Now we're talking about all the bad things about the soldiers who died, whose bodies he greets for a dignified transfer at Dover. Luckily for the soldier who died that he talked about. in that rally there were only good things but sometimes there are bad things apparently so that was normal on the charts on the charts on the charts charts i don't know if you also saw at the beginning there do you see the guy in the suit behind trump who was who's doing an impression of trump i think yeah was that flattery mockery i assume flattery i don't know who's who can say who can say um pinky herman He really can't land the Ossoff name. It was, remember on Truth Social, he had John Os jerk off and he had jerk in parentheses.
That was better than Pinky Herman.
It reads better. It doesn't sound, you can't really say it. You can read it and you get the jerk off thing.
Yeah, it's hard to do air parentheses at a rally. Better than Pinky Herman though.
All right, Dan. Is there a pinky? I know he meant Pee Wee Herman.
There's no pinky. And he didn't conflate two 1920s characters or something, right?
