Is Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, telling Trump to continue the war in Iran? On the debut episode of Sidebar with Katie Phang, she breaks down the Saudi involvement, including the news of 3,000 to 4,000 additional U.S. troops being deployed to the Middle East. Katie also discusses the continued DHS funding shutdown as ICE arrives at our airports to do “test runs” for the November midterms; the latest in the Epstein Files; and Erica Kirk’s appointment to the Air Force Academy Board.
