## Resource

Iran ceasefire remains in effect even as U.S. and Iran exchange fire, Louisiana debates carbon capture programs, some say AI is creating the next economic bubble, and Democratic business owners in Washington state are speaking out on the income tax debate. The Center Square's D.C. Bureau Chief Sarah Roderick-Fitch joins to discuss the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran which purportedly remains in effect despite strikes against the Islamic Republic and the country’s supreme leader renewing threats against the U.S. The Trump administration described the strikes as defensive, targeting Iranian boats that were reportedly laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran responding by launching missiles towards U.S. aircraft, leading to American forces attacking the launchers. The exchange of fire between the two countries comes amid renewed talks, with President Donald Trump seemingly optimistic that the U.S. and Iran are getting close to reaching a deal. Also in today’s episode: - Carbon capture programs stir up controversy in Louisiana - Similarities between current economic trends and those leading up to the Great Depression - Factors that contribute to and detract from the possibility of an AI bubble - Democratic business owners in Washington state are speaking out against their own party's policies after new 'Millionaires tax' For more taxpayer-focused reporting on national politics, energy policy, straight economic analysis, and taxpayer issues, visit The Center Square and subscribe for daily updates.
