  • What the fight over the next intelligence director means for national security

    What the fight over the next intelligence director means for national security
    Jun 17 2026
    Some members of Congress had hoped to fast-track the confirmation of President Trump's pick for director of national intelligence. But early Wednesday morning, Trump threw a wrench in those plans when he posted to social media that his nominee, Jay Clayton, would not be showing up for his confirmation hearing due to Trump's ongoing dispute with lawmakers. Former Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair weighs in.

    Then, earlier this month, the government sold the Washington, D.C. building that once housed one of the Trump family's hotels. The Wall Street Journal's Craig Karmin joins us to discuss the $80 million sale.

    And, a major climate polluter might get a break from the EPA after its founder gave millions to President Trump’s campaign. Alex Cuadros tells that story in a new investigation for ProPublica.

    Jun 15 2026
    President Trump and Iran separately announced an agreement to end more than three months of war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. For more on what could come of the deal, we hear from Jon Finer, a former adviser to President Biden who helped negotiate the Obama administration's deal to restrict Iran's nuclear program.

    Then, a major Russian attack overnight set fire to a historic monastery complex in Kyiv and killed at least four people.

The Foreign Policy Research Institute's Rob Lee shares the latest from the front lines in Ukraine.

    And, a viral joke led to an Irish pub in Scotland becoming an Ivory Coast pub for the World Cup. Ruairi O’Neill, general manager at Biddy Mulligans in Edinburgh, Scotland, explains.
