The two discuss and analyze the crisis between the United States and Iran.  This includes whether the killing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani was justified, the 'razor thin' intelligence showing that Suleimani was planning 'imminent attacks' on Americans (which is the rationale Trump has provided for ordering the killing), what other options Trump had, what Iran's response to the attack might look like, and how all of this could affect America's current political landscape.
