He’ll also weigh in on US relations with Iran and the new director of the CIA. Plus: Analysis of the state political conventions and Hillary Clinton’s proto-presidential speech, retailers who want to be your "third place," and Jerry Abramson, the Mayor of Louisville, goes to bat for his town's Homeland Security funding.
