Mike Baker Has Questions About the Endgame in Iran — And the Midterms

Mike Baker, retired CIA covert operations officer specializing in counterterrorism, counternarcotics and counterinsurgency operations and the host of the President’s Daily Brief podcast, joined Clay and Buck to discuss Iran. He expresses skepticism that we can change the regime in Iran, and secure the Strait of Hormuz. He warns that, if Iran doesn’t get wrapped up soon and gas prices don’t come down, the GOP could be looking at a midterm wipeout.

As General Waverley said to Rosemary Clooney in White Christmas… “when making a serious point about war on national tv, one should always wear a cardigan.” I might be paraphrasing. pic.twitter.com/wTr7ynqdhh
