IDF and Lebanon, Ukraine’s Fears, AI Data Centers, and a Korean Messiah
The Bulletin
Outro
Clarissa closes the show, credits production staff, and invites ratings, reviews, and a subscription offer.
The Israeli Defense Force pushes Hezbollah further north into Lebanon to protect those living in the north of Israel. Meanwhile, Ukraine worries that American focus has drifted away from their war with Russia. And, how should we feel about AI data centers being built in towns and cities around the US? Mike Cosper and Clarissa Moll discuss these headlines, and then Mike sits down with The Wall Street Journal’s China bureau chief Jonathan Cheng to talk about the Christian evangelical roots of the founding leader of North Korea, Kim II Sung.
