The U.S.-Israeli war in Iran is sowing death and chaos, surely, but with ship traffic avoiding Iran’s shores, the war’s also threatening the global economy through higher oil prices. Miles Taylor explains why all this is happening. Taylor served as the chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration, where he made waves for writing an Op-ed in the New York Times headlined, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration.” And in headlines, the State Department scrambles to help thousands of Americans stuck in the Middle East, Iran continues to retaliate against the U.S.-Israeli attacks, and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faces tough questions in the Senate.

  • It's Wednesday, March 4th.

  • I'm Greg Walters in for Jane Kostin, and this is What A Day,

  • the show that noted yesterday Oklahoma Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen couldn't keep straight whether America is at war with Iran or Iraq.

  • And now, he doesn't seem totally sure whether we're at war at all.

  • This is war, and we're taking out the threat.

  • Got it.

  • This is a war.

  • But I thought only Congress could declare a war.

  • You know, at least we can agree on that last part.

  • On today's show,

  • the State Department scrambles to help thousands of Americans stuck in the Middle East,

  • and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faces tough questions from senators about immigration enforcement and her personal history of canine execution.

  • But first, a very big, happy, oh my god,

  • the midterms are finally upon us day to all those who celebrate,

  • because yesterday marked the first official primaries ahead of this November's big vote.

  • Ballots were still being counted as we were recording this on Tuesday evening,

  • and we'll be back tomorrow with a breakdown of who's up,

  • who's down, and what we can learn from the results in Texas, North Carolina, and Arkansas.

  • And that includes how the electorate is feeling about a certain you-know-who and all of his ludicrous mishegas.

  • Like, this war he just got us into.
