We’re also joined by Dr. John Lott, esteemed economist and author of More Guns, Less Crime, for a deep dive into both Second Amendment policy and an unexpected turn into foreign affairs.Dr. Lott weighs in with his analytical perspective, agreeing that the outcomes were surprisingly effective given the high stakes. The two discuss the backlash Trump faces from within his own party—particularly the “war caucus”—and whether his instincts could lead to a deal with Iran without compromising U.S. or Israeli security. Their conversation blends economic reasoning with geopolitical nuance, offering listeners a fresh take on complex global dynamics through the lens of data, deterrence, and diplomacy.
