Rhodes, who served as Deputy National Security Advisor to President Barack Obama, shared his thoughts on the Iran war, why he thinks the Obama White House “did get right” the 2015 nuclear deal, and the state of the Democratic Party as it faces backlash over the handling of the 2024 election autopsy release.
