The war with Iran continues to take center stage as President Trump has dispatched his envoys to Pakistan for talks with Iran. This comes as there are reports that the conflict is taking a toll on the United States' missile stockpile. Former political prisoner of the Iranian regime and International Relations Professor at NYU, Dr. Kian Tajbakhsh, and national security and military analyst Dr. Rebecca Grant provide their expertise on the position the U.S. currently finds itself in and what needs to be done next to fight the regime.
Plus, Amy Schumacher-Rutherford and Stephen Cicirelli debate the capabilities of artificial intelligence and whether it will make America's future brighter or American kids dumber.
As we head into the weekend, President Trump is set to break with the past and attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner. This will be the first time he attends as President of the United States, but it comes as his coalition is unhappy, and his approval rating has fallen to a new low. NewsNation Correspondent Kellie Meyer joins from the White House with what we can expect. Our political panel also weighs in on the current state of Trump 2.0 and what the administration needs to do going forward.
Finally, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., and retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Chris Hinkle join the show to talk about the mysterious deaths or disappearances of 11 prominent scientists tied to NASA.
