Episode Details

The Trump administration has unveiled a new wave of secondary sanctions to further isolate Iran from the global economy. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the government will target companies that still do business with Iran, but stopped short of naming names. Aaron David Miller, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, explains why Iran is dismissing the economic threats and what impact targeting its partners could have on Iran. Then, NBC News cybersecurity and surveillance reporter Kevin Collier breaks down why protests and vigilante vandals have pushed the surveillance company Flock Safety to make policy changes – and explains why civil rights groups say they aren’t going far enough. Plus, Yas takes a ride to NYC’s downtown to visit a subway newsstand revamped by comedian Al Mullen as part of a program to find creative uses for vacant spaces in the subway system. How he’s bearing the heat – and how he and his fellow comedians are using the project to inject inspiration into the daily commute.
