The Glenn Show

Support The Glenn Show at https://glennloury.substack.comGlenn sits down with Curt Mills, executive director of the American Conservative, to examine the six-month-old Iran War. Mills lays out the conservative case against it and discusses Israel’s geopolitical position, noting that Netanyahu’s government likely pushed the U.S. toward war and that continued support for Israel could fracture Trump’s coalition. Glenn, who backed Trump’s anti-interventionist pitch, says he’s far more sympathetic to Mills than to the hawks. Mills also points to generational differences, suggesting younger conservatives’ wariness of war may eventually reshape the right.The Glenn Show is almost entirely audience-supported, so to those of us who are already full subscribers, let me extend a heartfelt thank you.
