They discuss the toughest questions Blanche faced, the political dynamics surrounding his nomination, and the likelihood that he will ultimately be confirmed as the nation's next Attorney General.
Next, Josh is joined by Lee Smith, columnist for Tablet Magazine, to discuss what's next for Iran following recent U.S. actions. They examine America's strategic objectives, whether they have been achieved, and what steps the U.S. should take to secure lasting success in the region.
