President Donald Trump's legacy hinges on an issue he has no interest in addressing, according to one of his biographers.
Journalist Michael Wolff argued during a new episode of the "Inside Trump's Head" podcast, co-hosted by Nico Hines, the Daily Beast’s global editorial director, that Trump's war in Iran is shaping up to end a lot like the oil crisis that plagued former President Jimmy Carter long after he left office. Wolff noted that Americans have become increasingly sensitive to rising gas prices resulting from the war, similar to the crisis Carter faced when the former Iranian regime fell, he added.
At the same time, Trump has failed to pay attention to the changing nature of modern warfare, Wolff argued. Not only could that cost the U.S. a decisive victory in Iran, but it could also make Trump a footnote in history.
"So the lesson that everyone should have been learning if they paid attention to Ukraine — which Donald Trump was not doing, was not interested in doing, and rather stubbornly refused to do — is that the nature of warfare was changing," Wolff said.
Wolff added that Trump's team inside the White House has no clue how to respond to the crisis that the president has created.
"Everybody within the white House and within the Trump political team is aware that they don't know what to do about this," Wolff said. "They literally do not know what to do. They don't know how to get us out of the war, and they don't know how to manage this on a political basis."
A GOP candidate for California governor proudly stood by his past ties to the Oath Keepers, a far-right American militia that was involved in the January 6 Capitol riots.
"You're an Oath Keeper. We all know that," former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said while railing against Republican Chad Bianco, the Sheriff for Riverside County.
Rather than distance himself from the group, Bianco leaned in, saying, "I'm very proud of it."
He justified his past by telling Villaraigosa, "And guess what? You're going to swear an oath, and you swore an oath. You should know what you were swearing and be proud of defending it."
Everyone seemed surprised by Bianco's comments during the nationally televised debate. Villaraigosa shot back that, "I don't think an Oath Keeper is qualified to be governor." Fellow candidate Xavier Becerra said Bianco's response was a "chilling answer."
"I don't think you know what an Oath Keeper is," Bianco argued.
But even moderator Kaitlan Collins needed clarification.
"You said you're a proud Oath Keeper," Collins asked. "Are you referring to the group?"
Bianco said, "I have sworn an oath three times to defend my constitution. Yes, and everybody that wants to lie and emotionally get all spun up about the Oath Keeper organization...I want you to go read the mission statement of the Oath Keeper organization."
"I saw them on CNN attacking the Capitol!" Villaraigosa shouted.

Democratic strategist James Carville sounded an urgent alarm about New Hampshire's Senate race, calling it essential to Democratic control of the chamber.
Democrat Chris Pappas leads Republican John Sununu by just one point — 45-44 — a margin Carville describes as a tied race being overlooked while national attention focuses on Georgia and North Carolina.
Carville emphasized the mathematical stakes: if Pappas loses, Democrats must flip five Senate seats instead of four to gain majority control, a scenario he argued, "doesn't work."
He reframed New Hampshire as the pivotal race, stating that holding the seat provides a path to majority while losing it renders other competitive races irrelevant. Carville credited Pappas as the only viable candidate, noting his four previous victories in New Hampshire's toughest district, but warned that without adequate national support and funding, Pappas cannot succeed alone.

Two Democratic candidates for California governor traded blows as one tried to ask him questions that the other said sounded like "MAGA talking points."
Former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra was asked to respond to comments made by his fellow Democratic candidate Matt Mahan that "suggested that you're interested in growing the size of government, saying that he wants to cut it," CNN anchor Elex Michaelson.
"Mayor Mahan should take a look at my record, and you'll realize that the largest health enterprise in the world, the Department of Health and Human Services, is big. It's because we have to make sure we're doing everything to improve the health care for 33 million Americans."
Mahan responded by asking Becerra what his "years of experience have gotten us," arguing that access to health insurance hasn't improved. Becerra interrupted Mahan to tell him, "Make sure you say something that's actually factual."
"Higher health care costs that are squeezing families today, worse health outcomes," Mahan kept trying to rattle off over Becerra. "Worse health outcomes, and as fraudulent and wasteful spending in health care grew, Xavier Becerra did nothing as A.G. or as HHS secretary."
Becerra dismissed Mahan's claims, saying, "That sounds like a MAGA talking point," and responded that "under my watch, more Americans gained health coverage than ever."
"Learn the facts, Matt, before you start talking," Becerra shot off before his time ran out.
