How close is Iran to building a nuclear weapon—and has the U.S. actually set their program back?

In this episode, Lisa sits down with Vice Admiral John W. Miller, a leading expert on Iran and military strategy, to break down the reality behind the headlines. From uranium enrichment levels to the aftermath of recent U.S. strikes, this conversation cuts through the uncertainty surrounding Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

The Vice Admiral explains why Iran’s stockpile of 60% enriched uranium is so concerning, how quickly it could potentially be turned into weapons-grade material, and what we still don’t know about the location of that nuclear stockpile following recent military action.

They also dive into:


Whether U.S. bunker-buster strikes actually crippled Iran’s nuclear program


How close Iran really is to nuclear breakout


Why verification—not just negotiation—is the key to any deal


Whether Iran is negotiating in good faith or simply buying time


How internal unrest inside Iran could impact the regime’s behavior


What happens if diplomacy fails—and whether more military action is coming


How countries like Israel, China, and Russia factor into the equation

Plus, a candid assessment of President Trump’s Iran strategy—and whether it’s working.

With tensions rising and uncertainty still high, this episode gives you a clear, expert-level understanding of one of the most dangerous geopolitical flashpoints in the world today.

What does the Supreme Court’s decision on IEEPA actually mean for President Trump’s tariff strategy—and the future of the U.S. economy?

In this episode, Lisa is joined by International Law Attorney, Nazak Nikakhtar who breaks down the high-stakes ruling that limits the president’s ability to impose tariffs under emergency powers—and explains why it may not slow Trump down at all. From Sections 232, 301, and 338 to national security-based trade actions, the administration still has powerful tools to reshape global trade.

We dive into:


Why the Supreme Court blocked IEEPA tariffs—and what comes next


How Trump can still impose sweeping tariffs using other legal authorities


The real goal behind tariffs: reducing debt, boosting U.S. manufacturing, and countering China


Whether tariffs are actually a “tax” on American consumers


What CPI and inflation data reveal about the real economic impact


The growing decoupling between U.S. businesses and China


How global supply chains—and national security—are driving trade policy


The long road to rebuilding American manufacturing

Nazak also explains why critics may be missing the bigger picture—and why tariffs could play a central role in reversing decades of wage stagnation and industrial decline.

With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, the biggest question facing Republicans is clear: can they win without Donald Trump on the ballot?

In this in-depth conversation, Lisa is joined veteran strategist John McLaughlin breaks down the critical turnout gap shaping recent elections, why Democrats may currently hold a slight advantage, and what Republicans must do now to rebuild the coalition that powered victories in 2016 and 2024.

From the importance of Trump-era issue alignment—including immigration, tax cuts, and working-class economic policy—to the danger of voter drop-off in 2025 races, this episode dives into the data, the strategy, and the stakes.

We also explore:


Why Trump voters aren’t turning out at the same levels—and how to fix it


The 80% issues Republicans may be failing to capitalize on, like voter ID and border security


How Democratic policies on taxes, spending, and immigration could reshape the midterms


The growing disconnect between economic data and voter perception


Why messaging—and where voters get their information—may decide the election


Early insights into the 2028 Democratic primary battle, including Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and the rising progressive wing

Plus: What history—from the 2002 and 2010 elections—can teach us about defying midterm trends, and whether Republicans are making the same mistakes all over again.

👉 Bottom line: It’s not about personality—it’s about issues, turnout, and communication. And right now, both parties are fighting to define all three.
