James and Al castigate Trump’s narcissistic military parade and contrast his authoritarian impulses with the protestors standing up for democracy.  Then, they welcome Iran expert, Professor Vali Nasr, to discuss Iranian-US relations, Israel’s attacks, and the staying power of the Ayatollah’s regime.  In their conversation, they explore the potential responses we might see following attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, how things got to this point, and if there is any potential for a deal under Trump.  They also look at the consequences of a drawn-out war with a large, militarized country, and what it would take to finally have normalized relations.

Email your questions to James and Al at [email protected] or tweet them to @politicon.  Make sure to include your city– we love to hear where you’re from!
