| 6/24/26 | ![]() Fault Lines Episode 611: El Tigre and Rainbow Face: Picks for Latin America and the Wizards | Today, Jess, Les, Algene, and John dig into two closely contested elections that could reshape Latin American politics. In Colombia, right-wing candidate Abelardo De La Espriella holds a narrow lead in the presidential runoff, and in Peru, Keiko Fujimori also maintains a razor-thin advantage over leftist Roberto Sánchez as electoral authorities continue reviewing disputed ballots. The team examines what these elections say about security, anti-incumbent sentiment, and the region's broader political trajectory. Plus, John provides an update on the NBA Draft and what it could mean for the Washington Wizards - and the world.Is Latin America's rightward shift a reaction to failed incumbents or a true ideological realignment? How does the Trump administration's Monroe Doctrine revival affect the sovereignty and democratic health of these nations? Will the Wizards’ draft of a star player mean a new era of DC sports?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@nottvjessjones@lestermunson@algenesajery@johnclipseyLike what we're doing here?

| 6/22/26 | ![]() Fault Lines Episode 610: Murky Waters and Muddied Deals | Today, Les, John, Andrew, Matt, and Amy dig into the ongoing U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations playing out in Switzerland, where a publicly snubbed Vice President and a shifting cast of regional brokers — Qatar and Pakistan prominent among them — signal just how little control Washington holds over the process. The Strait of Hormuz remains a pressure point, with the southern half open only under U.S. military escort and proxy attacks continuing even as diplomats talk. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer's resignation in the UK and a contentious Colombian election add to an already turbulent international backdrop.Does the current negotiating posture amount to the U.S. practically begging Iran for a deal, and what does that say about American leverage? With the MOU still existing in multiple competing versions and Iran pressing for Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon as a condition, what would a deal the President can actually enforce even look like? If last July's strikes on Iran's nuclear program were meant to be decisive, why does the situation feel like it hasn't moved at all?

| 6/17/26 | ![]() Fault Lines Episode 609: MOU: Hormuz Confuz | Today, Les, Amy, John, and Andrew dig into the alleged 14-point memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran. The deal's broad outlines would have Iran maintain the status quo of its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief and unblocking the Strait of Hormuz, with a 300-billion-dollar economic development commitment and a 60-day window to negotiate a final agreement. Critics see it as an economic lifeline for a weakened regime — not a genuine constraint on Iranian ambitions or its network of proxies.Can the IRGC be trusted to honor its commitments, or is this a foil to buy time? How does this MOU compare to the JCPOA, and does the changed regional landscape, including Arab mediation and a diminished Iranian military, alter the calculus? Does the deal represent a national security win, or is it a politically convenient off-ramp that trades away American leverage for optics?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@lestermunson@amykmitchell@andrewborene@JohnCLipseyLike what we're doing here?

| 6/15/26 | ![]() Fault Lines Episode 608: Deal or No Deal: The Upcoming U.S.-Iran Nuclear Agreement | Today, Les, Jamil, Jess, and John break down the emerging agreement between Washington and Tehran, set to be signed Friday in Geneva under Pakistani auspices. The framework would open 60 days of formal negotiations, with the U.S. lifting its naval blockade in exchange for limitations on Iranian uranium enrichment — though the full text of the MOU has yet to be released. Trump personally called New York Times reporter David Sanger to declare the deal superior to Obama's JCPOA, while praising Xi and Putin for holding the blockade line and publicly pressuring Netanyahu to ease off.Can an agreement that reportedly allows limited enrichment after an initial freeze actually improve on the JCPOA's fatal flaw? With JD Vance heading to the signing and figures like Rubio potentially skeptical, how united is the administration behind this deal? Will Iran follow through on opening the Strait of Hormuz when it refused to do so in previous negotiations? And does American willingness to strike Iranian nuclear facilities change the strategic calculus enough to make this deal stick?

| 5/18/26 | ![]() Fault Lines Episode 597: Starmer’s Stormy Sturm and Drang | Today, Les, Jess, and Amy dig into the political turbulence rattling the United Kingdom and Europe's broader leadership landscape. Rumors over the weekend that Prime Minister Keir Starmer would resign proved unfounded — he has confirmed he is staying — but the episode surrounding his potential departure exposed deep fractures in British politics. Labour suffered significant losses in local elections to the Greens, the Conservatives were hammered by Reform, and a large Unite the Kingdom rally highlighted simmering discontent over immigration, the economy, and the direction of the country.Is Starmer's grip on power strong enough to survive until 2029, or is the denial of resignation simply delaying the inevitable? What do the electoral surges of Reform and the Greens reveal about the fracturing of Britain's traditional political coalitions? How much of Europe's economic stagnation can be traced to structural choices in social spending and labor policy and will leaders finally be forced to reckon with that?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@lestermunson@nottvjessjones@amykmitchellLike what we're doing here?

| 5/15/26 | ![]() Fault Lines Episode 596: Peloponnesian Warning: Xi, Trump, and Taiwan | Today, Morgan, John, Amy, and Matt break down President Trump's travel to China and what it signals about the trajectory of the world's most consequential bilateral relationship. The visit produced visible wins on trade, including Chinese commitments to purchase American oil and an agreement that the Strait of Hormuz should remain open but Chinese state media has been conspicuously silent on the deals Trump has touted publicly. Xi's invocation of the Thucydides Trap, referencing the Peloponnesian War and competing powers in the context of Taiwan, set a striking backdrop for a visit the administration framed primarily around economic cooperation.Was this a diplomatic breakthrough or a carefully managed photo opportunity that Beijing will leverage as it sees fit? How should we interpret the gap between Trump's transactional framing and Xi's pointed messaging about regional stability and power transitions? Are the national security gains from this trip real, or are they downstream consequences of economic agreements that haven't fully materialized yet?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@morganlroach@wmatthayden@amykmitchell@johnclipseyLike what we're doing here?

| 5/13/26 | ![]() Fault Lines Episode 595: Iran Reloads as the Gulf Strikes Back | Today, Jess, Jamil, Algene, and Andy discuss the latest developments in the Iran conflict, including reports that Iran has restored access to 30 of its 33 launch sites and growing scrutiny following Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Capitol Hill testimony on the roughly $29 billion cost of Operation Epic Fury. Meanwhile, nuclear negotiations continue as reports indicate that UAE has begun launching its own strikes on Iran, signaling a potential realignment of regional actors.Should President Trump restart the bombing campaign or move to forcibly reopen the Strait of Hormuz? Will the continually increasing financial costs of the conflict impact voter sentiment ahead of the midterms? And does the UAE’s direct involvement mark the emergence of a new regional order that leaves Iran increasingly isolated?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@nottvjessjones@jamil_n_jaffer@andykeiser@algenesajeryLike what we're doing here?

| 5/11/26 | ![]() Fault Lines Episode 594: The Beijing Summit's Fine Print | Today, Les, Jess, Morgan, Matt, and Marc examine what to expect — and what to be skeptical of — as President Trump travels to China this week for a face-to-face meeting with Xi Jinping on Thursday. The summit follows their last encounter in the fall, but this time on Chinese soil, with trade and economic tensions dominating the agenda even as flashpoint issues like Taiwan and Iran linger at the margins. Expectations in Washington are deliberately low, and the pattern of Beijing treating agreements as temporary pauses rather than binding commitments remains a live concern.Will Xi use the meeting to press Trump on ending the Iran conflict to protect China's oil supplies, and how does that square with Beijing's simultaneous support for Iran's nuclear program? Will national security issues get serious airtime or be quietly traded away for economic wins? Given China's track record of opacity and broken promises, from trade deals to the Spratly Islands, how should the Trump administration distinguish genuine progress from the appearance of it?
