I’m sending an extra newsletter today to bring you this conversation with Senator Mark Warner (D-VA).
Warner is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee – he gets briefed on classified threats and global conflicts, including the war with Iran. When Secretary of State Rubio said he briefed the “Gang of Eight” before launching the war, that includes Warner.
We cover lots of ground fast, including:
Whether boots on the ground are on the table.
Threats to the homeland — and who’s actually watching for that right now.
The lack of an exit strategy and what comes next in the region.
Kristi Noem’s replacement at DHS — and what Democrats want in return for a confirmation vote.
On Iran, Warner warns that “we are opening a Pandora’s box.” But he also has some words of reassurance at the end. It’s a quick listen — and I hope it helps you make sense of a very fast-moving situation. Cast your eyes to the top of this newsletter and hit play to watch our conversation.
We’ll be back with the full newsletter tomorrow.
