Summary

As negotiations with Iran continue under the threat of military action, is a diplomatic breakthrough is actually within reach? Former NSC Senior Director Michael Allen joins us to break down the reality of Iran’s nuclear progress at "Pickaxe Mountain" and the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz. With gas prices rising and the U.S. maintaining a blockade, who has the advantage of time: a democracy facing elections or an authoritarian regime? Viral videos of college graduates booing corporate commencement speakers have sparked a national conversation about why Gen Z is so outspoken against the rapid rise of AI. In 2024, Representative Jay Obernolte (R-CA) chaired the Bipartisan House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence to explore how Congress can secure American innovation while balancing national security. He joins to discuss the growing public anxiety surrounding AI and how Washington plans to protect the next generation of the workforce. PLUS, commentary by Jonathan Alpert, psychotherapist in New York City and Washington, D.C. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
