China, Iran, AI, the Economy—and the GOP’s Trump Test

Mike digs into the competing pressures facing Republicans heading into the midterms, from the economic fallout of the Iran war to the question of whether candidates should embrace or distance themselves from President Trump. Stephen Moore joins Mike to make the case that China remains a serious strategic threat even as the U.S. engages with Beijing, while the race to dominate artificial intelligence could have enormous economic and national-security consequences. They also tackle the very tangible impact of Iran on Americans’ wallets, with gas prices emerging as a major political problem and Moore laying out several ways he believes the U.S. could bring costs down. Back in the political arena, Mike argues that Republicans who try to run away from Trump risk misunderstanding what has reshaped the modern GOP, before turning his attention to some startling comments from the pastor of Texas Senate candidate James Talarico’s home church.
