Marcus Parks joins Seena and Travis this week to discuss the escalating war between Iran and Israel. They dig into the context for BiBi’s decision to launch a preventative strike and project forward to where this may lead. They also find hilarity in Trump’s poorly produced birthday parade along with the various ways he was humiliated during the G7 and watch a gleeful Tucker Carlson eviscerate Ted Cruz.
