Episode 50: American Interests

Our show turns to foreign policy this week after a tumultuous and tragic week in the Middle East, brought on by President Trump's impulsive withdrawal of forces from northern Syria. Halie Soifer, a senior adviser to Obama's UN Ambassador Samantha Power, joins the show to talk about all the national security implications—in addition to how the news will play politically back home. Halie is currently the executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America.
