## Resource

Donald Trump's public position is that his agreement with Iran is great, and better than Obama's nuclear deal. But a leaked draft of the MOU raises some real questions about which side benefits the most, and whether the United States is any better off than before the war. New York Times reporter David Sanger, whom Trump called over the weekend when the agreement was made, joins the show. Also on today's show: journalists Yeganeh Torbati and Bozorgmehr Sharafedin on their book "Stolen Revolution"; journalist and soccer commentator Simon Kuper, author of "Soccernomics"; Elizabeth Economy, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University Learn more about your ad choices.
