Pete Buttigieg on Repowering America

Derailed trains, collapsed bridges, and an unreliable power grid point to America’s growing infrastructure problem. And though President Biden campaigned on “building back better,” these issues have taken a back seat to political posturing with China. US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg joins Ray Suarez to break down how the Biden administration plans to get America’s infrastructure back on track — one EV at a time. Then, CityNerd creator Ray Delahanty delves into the “conspiracy” of the 15-minute city, and why it may be the future of urban planning.see more

President Trump announced on Tuesday that the U.S. would withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, which he called "defective at its core". The plan was agreed upon in 2015 by Iran, the five permanent members of the United Nation's Security Council and Germany. The administration said it would re-impose the economic sanctions that were lifted under the deal. We discuss the decision, and what happens next.

Guests:

Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council

Jamil Jaffer, founder of the National Security Institute at George Mason University
