Two more Americans are dead. Another is missing. The war is widening, and in this conversation Steve Schmidt and Ken Harbaugh ask the question Washington refuses to confront: is America losing because of its enemies, or because of its own leadership?

They argue that the greatest threat facing the United States is a collapse of strategic leadership at the White House and the Pentagon. They discuss a dangerous erosion of military professionalism, the consequences of politicizing the armed forces, and why Iran appears to be seizing the strategic initiative, while America’s credibility deteriorates.

Steve and Ken also talk about the betrayal felt by Iranian dissidents who trusted American promises, only to be left behind, and they explain why every day the war continues without a coherent strategy raises the risk of more American lives being lost.

It’s a sober, urgent conversation about leadership, accountability and the price of strategic failure.
