## Resource

Leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum and The Hub’s editor-at-large Sean Speer discuss the Trump administration's troubled Iran invasion. They examine military setbacks, the failed Iranian uprising, and how personal financial interests may have compromised strategy. They also analyze Trump's decision not to renew CUSMA, the administration's AI policy, and the Democratic Party's vulnerability as democratic socialist candidates defeat mainstream incumbents.
