The Foreign Report

It’s been 25 years since 9/11, so this week Seena and Travis examine how the decisions made then reverberate today.

This week, law and political science professor Corey Brettschneider joins the show to talk through some of the pivotal decisions from this year's Supreme Court docket. Will birthright citizenship withstand this administration? Is the SC not so quietly advocating for an all-powerful executive? Is Howard Nutlick set to walk away with millions in tariff vouchers? Can we sue any of these assholes? Listen to find out!

Iranian comedian and physician Hesam Torr joins Seena and Travis this week to discuss the latest updates on the war with Iran. They cover the on-again, off-again ceasefire, plus Trump's poorly thought-out strategy to pit America's capacity for hardship against the Iranian's. They also talk through Trump calling the North Koreans "respectful" and giving the green light to companies who want to cyberattack foreigners. Yes, that sentence is real.

The FP Zaddy is back! This week he and Travis discuss the role of the IRGC in this seemingly never-ending war and how, surprise surprise, the Trump administration has gotten trapped in the quicksand of a holy war they did not see coming. They talk through Trump's latest ploy in his quest to end birthright citizenship and the ongoing tragedy of the demise of TPS. Also, after a quiet week, JD is back in all his monstrous glory.
