Summary
Iran's condition for coming back to the negotiating table is that Israel stops defending itself from Hezbollah. Not that Hezbollah stops attacking. Israel stops defending. Seriously. We break down what that demand actually tells us about Iran's real intentions. The $1.776 billion weaponization compensation fund has been paused after Congress from both parties pushed back hard. Six states vote today and the California story is the one to watch — Republicans are running real candidates for Governor and for Mayor of Los Angeles and the political environment created by years of Democratic failure on homelessness, crime, and wildfires has made both races genuinely competitive. California may not be turning red but it is turning something. All of it today. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support .
