- Just days after the United States and Iran signed a framework agreement, the first round of follow-on negotiations has been called off following a deadly exchange of attacks between Israel and Hezbollah. We speak with Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies about what the latest violence means for the future of the deal and whether the agreement can survive renewed regional tensions.
- Later in the show—the battle over AI data centers is becoming a major flashpoint across America, raising questions about energy, infrastructure, and national competitiveness.
