Nick Hauselman is out and about for business, so it's a Professor Jared episode. Jared Yates Sexton runs through recent developments, including a changing paradigm in the Middle East as Iran resumes attacks against Israel, the alliance between the U.S. and Israel strains, the Trump Administration destroying one of the marvels of modern science, and gets into the situation with Graham Platner in Maine.
