In November 2022, will the balance of power in the House and Senate change?  With Biden’s dismal approval ratings, inflation, soaring gas prices, increasing interest rates and border security issues, will voters turnout in November and elect a Republican majority?  Newt gives his take on this first episode in a new series on the road to the midterms.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2015, the Obama administration negotiated a deal with the Iranian’s known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or J.C.P.O.A. It was a detailed, 159-page agreement reached by Iran and China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The deal basically stopped Iran from building their own nuclear bombs. Now, the Biden administration is trying to re-negotiate the deal, but there’s only one problem. They were not invited to the negotiating table. The Iranian’s did not want them there. Newt’s guest is Ilan Berman, Senior Vice President at the American Foreign Policy Council.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Has a new cold war begun?  Since the 1950s we have relied on deterrence to stop anyone from using nuclear weapons because the reaction would be so terrible.  And for 70 years it worked.  Now, we’re moving into a world where we need to consider what defending is going to mean for a nuclear or cyber-attack.
