Well, Iran retaliated. They did so in a way that was seemingly meant as a massive show of force without serious casualties. They almost pulled it off, except for when they shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet. And this week, Nate and Francis discuss Iran -- the horniness for war, the insane interpretations from neocons -- and what might come next as we seemingly blunder around in a decades-long world war.

This week, Francis speaks with Isiah James (@isiah4congress), an Army infantry veteran running as a democratic socialist in the Democratic primary for New York's 9th Congressional District. Isiah discusses his platforms, why he got into politics, how he approaches topics like gun control, ending the Drug War, and combating imperialism. Isiah gives a fascinating interview and we hope you enjoy it -- it’s free on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/33115621
