About The Episode

We start the show on Iran. Daniel Drezner is a Distinguished Professor of International Politics and Academic Dean at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He gives the latest on the U.S.-led attacks on Iran and what comes next for the region under fire.

Joanna Lydgate heads the States United Democracy Center, which aims to protect free and fair elections in the United States. She talks about what states can do to protect the midterms in November.

Congressman Jim McGovern calls in to share his thoughts on what he's calling an "illegal war" against Iran.

Throughout the show we take listener calls, asking is this another endless regime change effort by the U.S., or the right move for the region?
