About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges facing Iran talks following an attack in Kuwait, Trump's nomination of Todd Blanche as attorney general, and potential cuts to Social Security for retirees.

President Donald Trump says Iran talks are going well, but new video from Kuwait suggests the region isn’t there yet. Plus, Trump moves to make Todd Blanche his permanent attorney general, putting one of his closest legal allies a Senate vote away from the top job at the Department of Justice. And a new warning for future retirees: Social Security checks could drop by about $500 a month if Congress doesn’t act.
