Mark Halperin's reported monologue tells the story you won’t hear anywhere else: what’s really going on with the Trump administration’s negotiations with Iran — and the key questions that will determine if the deal succeeds. Then, Glenn Beck explains why the deal is “America First”, why he believes JD Vance could be one of the most consequential political figures of the next generation, which Democrat he finds to be a compelling leader, and why Graham Platner appeals to some Maine voters as a new kind of “Trump.”
