33:48Now PlayingA president is stashed away in a catering truck -- a ruse to escape a threat from Iran. The White House press corps was clueless.
Who else remained in the dark and how did this happen?
Host Mary Louise Kelly speaks with NPR Correspondents Kat Lonsdorf and Tom Bowman, who covers the Pentagon, about the threat against President Trump from Iran. They also discuss the future of National Guard deployment and whether troops might be patrolling polling places in November, the human cost of war, and Count Binface.
