In this week's episode of The Real Story, Joe breaks down the trifecta of national security issues plaguing Australia this week. Firstly, the curious case of Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Richard Marles' sudden trip to Washington - can he get an audience with the Trump administration. Then, ASIO announced it believed that Iran was the mastermind behind at least two antisemitic attacks in Australian, prompting the government to expel Iranian ambassador Ahmad Sadeghi and his staff. And China's threats to seize control of Taiwan, there are growing concerns over Beijing's potential to throttle the supply of vital computer chips to the rest of the world.
