Trump threatens to bomb Iran’s power grid as ceasefire talks quietly unfold behind the scenes — raising the stakes for a potential wider conflict. Jessica Tarlov is joined by The New York Times's Lulu Garcia-Navarro to break down whether this is a high-risk negotiation strategy or the brink of a longer war. They talk about the damage this incursion has done to America's reputation in the region — not just in the present, but generations into the future.

Plus: a massive proposed defense budget paired with deep domestic cuts, new reporting on the administration's hardline immigration tactics, and what YouTube’s dominance means for politics and public discourse, in light of Lulu's recent conversation with YouTube CEO Neal Mohan on her NYT podcast The Interview.
