Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley break down the Senate's near-miss vote to fuse the US and Israeli militaries in development, manufacturing, and deployment, why it fell just short of the 60-vote threshold but passed with a majority, and what that means going forward. They also cover the ongoing Iran conflict and its effect on oil prices, the Strait of Hormuz and Houthi threat, the death of Senator Lindsey Graham and the strange questions surrounding it, and President Trump's latest primetime address.
