361: Home & Away with Richard Haass & Mayor Paige Cognetti

James and Al welcome Council on Foreign Relations President Emeritus Richard Haass to analyze the effects of the Iran war and Trump’s wider policy decisions, looking at the roles of Russia, the GCC, and China, the challenges of negotiating with Iran, and the consequences for our alliances, the global economy, and the region.  Then, they are joined by Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti to discuss her current House race, making government accountable to the people, rising energy costs, declining affordability, and the power of infrastructure improvements to create jobs and grow our cities.
