James and Al analyze the growing presidential field, and fire off on Mike Johnson and Netanyahu, before diving into foreign affairs with AP Global Enterprise Editor Indira Lakshmanan.  They break down the effects of the accelerating conflict in Israel in the Middle East, how long the conflict will last, and the changing tide of global opinion.  They also lay out how the war impacts our domestic polling, the leverage President Biden and Tony Blinken have over its future, and how splitting our priorities has impacted Ukraine’s fight against Putin.
