Episode Preview: Iran, Ahmadinejad, Air Force One, and Ro Khanna

At 7:00 · chapter starts 2:17

Tommy runs through a densely packed agenda: the war between the US and Iran is back on; a crazy Israeli scheme to install Ahmadinejad has new details; questions about the Qatari-gifted Air Force One led to subpoenas against journalists; a bridge between Detroit and Canada is at the center of a corruption story; Venezuela's earthquake toll is catastrophic; Boko Haram is using AI; Erdogan gave NATO leaders guns; and Ben spoke with Congressman Ro Khanna. Ben summarizes the Khanna interview — how Khanna was threatened by heavily armed settlers in the West Bank, detained by the IDF, and then criticized by fellow Democrats for going. Ben asks the obvious question: why is a foreign ambassador setting the itinerary for an American congressman visiting territory that isn't legally Israel?
