He also explains what a potential end to the DHS funding fight may look like and previews the political battle over the cost of the Iran conflict. Then, Dr. Majid Sadeghpour, Political Director of the Organization for Iranian-American Communities, joins to discuss the possibility of a public uprising in Iran overthrowing the regime.
