This week, we discuss one of the wildest couple of day in modern politics, atter Trump's threat to wipe out a whole civilization sparked global panic, and an 11th hour ceasefire deal was announced with Iran.

But who wins from this?

Has Trump's reputation been damaged beyond repair?

And is it time to start worrying about a nuclear war?

Plus, reaction to Pam Bondi's firing, and the latest from NASA's record breaking mission to the moon.

The guest today is Dr. Tim Galsworthy, lecturer in History and Military History at Lincoln Bishop University.
