President Trump threatened to end an entire civilization, and that got us a ceasefire with Iran. But it’s a fragile peace for now. Was that bluster successful, like the White House says, or reckless? Plus, Congress returns after a two-week break to that continuing stand-off on funding for Homeland Security. Also, how Artemis II can bring all of us together.

President Trump wanted the Iran War to end quickly after six weeks of fighting, and so he issued a dire threat: submit or he will “end an entire civilization.” Now we’re in a fragile two-week ceasefire for negotiations. The White House says the warning was necessary to get us to this point, but critics called it reckless.

Congress also returns to DC after its two-week recess, and it’s back to the continuing standoff on funding for the Department of Homeland Security. What can we expect from a legislative branch that was already struggling to get much done before a midterm election year?

Plus we reflect on the meaning of the Artemis mission and whether it puts all our partisan battles in perspective.

Trump Threatens An Apocalypse…To Maybe Get A Ceasefire?

President Trump gave a speech this week about the Iran War to say he’s going to finish dismantling the country’s regime. But he also added that this regime seems pretty reasonable. We focus on what’s actually taking place: The U.S. role in the world has shifted dramatically, Russia and China seem to be benefitting from U.S. actions, the American economy seems vulnerable and Trump’s standing with his party seems to be changing. President Trump is also trying to redefine the meaning of U.S. citizenship. Should being born here automatically mean you’re a citizen? The President thinks not, and the question is now before the Supreme Court. And Trump has used a lot of words to trash the news media in our country. A top administration official thinks it’s been way more than a war of words – he’s doing a victory lap. We talk about all that with Liz Bruenig on the left and Sarah Isgur on the right.Producer: Leo DuranHost: <a href="https://www.kcrw.com/people/david-greene">David Greene</a> Guests: <ul>

President Trump’s war with Iran is transforming more than just the Middle East. It’s redefining America’s place in the world, the economy and his own party. Trump is also trying to change the meaning of citizenship and the media landscape.

President Trump gave a speech this week about the Iran War to say he’s going to finish dismantling the country’s regime. But he also added that this regime seems pretty reasonable. We focus on what’s actually taking place: The U.S. role in the world has shifted dramatically, Russia and China seem to be benefitting from U.S. actions, the American economy seems vulnerable and Trump’s standing with his party seems to be changing. 

President Trump is also trying to redefine the meaning of U.S. citizenship. Should being born here automatically mean you’re a citizen? The President thinks not, and the question is now before the Supreme Court. 

And Trump has used a lot of words to trash the news media in our country. A top administration official thinks it’s been way more than a war of words – he’s doing a victory lap. We talk about all that with Liz Bruenig on the left and Sarah Isgur on the right.

TSA checkpoints at some airports are jammed, and the fight over ICE enforcement is showcasing both parties’ leverage on immigration and how it’s shifted. Plus, Trump deployed ICE agents to airports, and there’s concern he might send them to polling sites in November, too.

Iran War Triggers Homeland Security Threats With Leadership In Flux

A president’s words alone can have a big impact. Like when President Trump told a reporter that the war in Iran is nearly over, oil prices dropped. That was a good sign for consumers, but was that responsible leadership from the president? We’re asking the same question of Congress where one senator said let’s not debate the war because a publicly divided legislative branch isn’t good for our troops abroad. Also, there will be a change in leadership at the Department of Homeland Security, with Kristi Noem out and Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin picked to take her place. We’ll talk about the next secretary’s immense challenges ahead, including funding for the agency on hold and concerns about our preparedness for possible terrorist attacks. Plus, we’ll take your questions as we talk with our panelists Mo Elleithee on the left and Will Swaim on the right.Producer: Leo DuranHost: <a href="https://www.kcrw.com/people/david-greene">David Greene</a> Guests: <ul>

Oil Markets Hang On Trump’s Every Word About Iran

Left Right &amp; Center is for listeners who feel like people on the other side of the political divide are on Mars. David Greene pieces together the big picture by inviting people from the left and the right to unpack their ideological differences, not to smooth them over, and look at what’s truly at stake. The show offers a rare kind of clarity. It doesn’t ask you to agree. It asks you to look more closely at what’s happening and to challenge your assumptions. You might not always agree – you might even get angry – but you’ll know why you feel the way you do. No knee-jerk reactions or name calling. This show doesn’t promise easy answers or warm fuzzies; it promises more clarity for the chaotic political era we’re all living through.
