The illusion of a cease-fire is crumbling as intelligence reports reveal an empowered adversary rearming in plain sight. With the Strait of Hormuz facing a permanent toll system and cyber threats looming over the domestic grid, the crisis is hitting a dangerous new phase. Later, they examine the sudden passing of former Representative Barney Frank and the complex, frustrating legacy left behind by his final public comments.
