From Cafe and the Vox Media Podcast Network, welcome to Stay Tuned.

I'm Pete Barara.

The Israel Hamas War is a devastating story with vast implications for the Middle East, the US, and the World Order.

On Stay Tuned, we'll do our best to cover it as events unfold.

Today we're departing from the show's usual format.

It's an extremely difficult situation all around, and people understandably have very strong feelings.

As part of the continuing conversation about this war, instead of answering questions myself this week,

I'll be speaking with my friend Dan Seenor, who's an author and former foreign policy adviser to President George W. Bush.

Seenor has long been outspoken about his support for Israel and its prerogatives in the Middle East,

and we've had spirited discussions about these issues over the years.

One of the core tenets of Zionism is that Israel's the Jewish people's fate will never again be in other people's hands.

That Israel does not seek permission to defend the Jewish people, and it does not have to depend on anyone else.

Because having to seek permission or depend on others, as we both know, has not worked out very well for the Jews in history.

Then I'm joined by author and Drexel University professor of law, Adam Ben Farato, for a conversation about cognitive psychology and criminal justice.

And so I think it's critical in law school to think about once you know the truth about what is actually moving the legal system,

should you press those levers? And I think that's something that each individual lawyer has to struggle with on their own.

That's coming up. Stay tuned.

It's not just sci-fi anymore.

Virtual reality for work is here. Mixed reality for work is here. And companies everywhere are using them both to transform how they operate.

Architects are able to walk through buildings and mixed reality before they're even built.

Co-workers from opposite ends of the earth are working shoulder to shoulder in VR spaces.

And all sorts of workers from pilots to underwater welders are getting trained in a virtual environment that's safer and more cost effective.
