Reports indicate that Iran obtained high-resolution satellite imagery from Chinese entities ahead of a July attack that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan. With President Donald Trump preparing to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, what does the latest China-Iran connection mean for U.S. national security? Plus, Democrats are preparing for a potential wave of investigations, lawsuits, and impeachment efforts if they retake the House. The bipartisan CLARITY Act also faces a critical moment as Congress considers how to regulate cryptocurrency. Also on the show: Joe Manchin endorses Susan Collins, newly resurfaced comments from James Talarico raise questions about parental rights and gender identity, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announces his reelection campaign.
