Irving predicts that the coming days could bring further political maneuvering, as the Trump administration looks to strengthen approval ratings ahead of key elections.The conversation concludes with concerns about rising gas prices, the economic impact of war, and whether the U.S. is ultimately searching for an exit strategy. Both hosts warn that the situation could escalate quickly, with serious consequences for both domestic and international stability.
