Are We Going to War?

iHeartPodcasts and Reasoned Choice
About this episode

Escalation with Iran raises alarms, but don't worry, Black women will save us... 

 

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask: are we all gonna die??!? 

 

Seriously though, President Trump and the U.S.A. are likely to join Israel in their air attacks on Iran. What are the potential consequences of a direct war with Iran? Is this Iraq 2.0? Or something new, perhaps the beginning of WWIII?? Our hosts separate the facts from the nunsense.  

 

We’re also going to look at a brand new poll capturing the priorities and lived experiences of Black women voters all across the country. Our guests today, Gabrielle Wyatt and Cornell Belcher, help us sift through this new data that points to long term solutions for issues facing the Black community, and dispells some common misconceptions about Black voters.  

 

Check out The Highland Project's poll at https://www.thehighlandproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Spring-2025-Poll-of-Black-Women-Voters_vF.pdf

 

AND FAMU’s board of directors is making their final vote for president soon and it’s looking like MAGA Marva will get it.
