A ‘forever’ war, if needed
Published on March 3, 2026.
The Playbook Podcast picks up on the day leading up to the hottest primaries in Texas. The podcast discusses the White House's messaging battle over Iran, where the president's all-out military assault on Iran is causing significant friction with his base. The administration is now using positive messages to further bolster its case for war, which the president himself said “can be fought ‘forever’” on Truth Social. Meanwhile, a roundtable discussion on covering the Supreme Court is led by POLITICO's Ankush Khardori, where they discuss whether the press has been slow to rebalance its coverage of a less important Congress vs. more important Supreme Court. The episode also features a discussion of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to strike Iran.
