[00:00:00]There is a rift that is widening among some Republicans over this war in Iran with some of the president's once loyal followers pushing back now on this.

[00:00:08]Listen.

[00:00:10]Literally, we're 4 months in 4 weeks into this war and this is the first we've heard about we're going to go in and just get the uranium. Like we haven't that's that is new. It changed from oh no, it's about the missiles. We got to get rid of those missiles.

[00:00:23]Okay, Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.

[00:00:25]That was stated broadly. We got to do regime change cuz the Ayatollah is bad.

[00:00:29]It just keeps moving.

[00:00:32]And then there's Senator Lindsey Graham.

[00:00:33]He's one of the most hawkish figures in President Trump's orbit and he called on Trump in a post this morning to wind down. Yes, you read that right. Wind down the war and wind up efforts for a peace deal. Graham added that he supports diplomatic efforts, but he said that an agreement from both sides need is needed to resolve this conflict. So Lydia, I mean what is going on here? I mean obviously look I always have to caveat this. MAGA is behind the president, but there are some people who are worried about where this is headed.

[00:01:07]Meghan Kelly is one of them, but Lindsey Graham saying wind down >> Disney World this weekend and I think he wants to bring some of that Disney magic back to a Washington D.C. Clearly. Look, I think one thing that's always been a hallmark of the right is ideological diversity and I think it's good for conservatives to push back and make sure that President Trump is not in an echo chamber and that he's hearing what many in his base think. And so I'm glad to hear that articulated. I think what's more troubling to me than a podcaster saying should we be pushing for regime change is the fact that you have Democratic candidates a Democratic candidate in Michigan who basically in a leaked tape today said, "I don't want to criticize the Ayatollah because too many constituents in Michigan are devastated that he's he's dead."
