In this episode, we explore the controversial rise of Zohran Mamdani and what his background sparks about citizenship, national loyalty, and foreign-born leadership in American politics.
We also dive into the shadowy topic of Iranian sleeper cells, recent setbacks to Iran’s nuclear ambitions due to U.S. actions, and the deeper question: What do Americans consistently get wrong about conflicts in the Middle East?

Topics covered:
- Foreign-born politicians in American government
- Iranian sleeper cell fears: real threat or political hype?
