Professor Jeffrey Sachs joins me to discuss the Iran war, Donald Trump, and America’s declining influence around the world. He explains why the United States needs to leave Iran, pursue direct diplomacy, and rethink its role in the Middle East. We also discuss Trump’s trade war with Canada, America’s growing debt, political corruption, and the power of the military-industrial complex. Finally, Professor Sachs reveals whether Trump is accelerating America’s decline—and why his proposed $5,000 checks simply don’t add up.
