In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines a turbulent week of global signals, from Iran's leaders holding out against President Trump in high-stakes negotiations, to the accelerating closure of colleges across the United States, to new scrutiny surrounding Kash Patel's FBI. What does Iran's use of the Strait of Hormuz reveal about coercive diplomacy? What do campus closures mean for the future of American higher education and social mobility? And how much institutional strain can the FBI absorb before public trust becomes the central national-security issue?
