On today's show: 

  • Ishaan Tharoor, a contributor to The New Yorker, formerly a foreign affairs columnist at The Washington Post, discusses Trump's approach to Iran, how the White House has 'never fully understood' the war it started, and what it could mean for the success, or failure, of the ceasefire.
  • NYC Councilmember Linda Lee (District 23, Eastern Queens), chair of the Finance Committee, talks about the City Council's budget proposals.
  • In observation of "Local News Day," Stefanie Murray, director of the Center for Cooperative Media in the College of Communication and Media at Montclair State University, talks about the local news picture in New Jersey, and Penda Howell, co-founder, CEO and publisher of New Jersey Urban News in Newark, and Aaron Morrill, founder, publisher, and editor-in-chief of the Jersey City Times, talk about their local news organizations and the challenges of covering local issues in NJ.
  • Listeners with differing relationships to religion and faith tell us what ultimately persuades them of their beliefs.
