Michael is joined by veteran political journalist Mark Halperin for a wide-ranging conversation on the biggest geopolitical and domestic flashpoints facing the country. They examine reports that the U.S. may pursue strategic access to Greenland rather than outright ownership, debate whether Iran’s regime is truly on the brink, and discuss whether President Trump’s recent foreign policy moves amount to a historic “hot hand.” Halperin weighs in on internal White House dynamics, predictive markets, and what it would really mean for Trump’s legacy if multiple global conflicts were resolved.
