US "Maximum Pressure" Campaign Against Iran Drives Tensions HigherJun 18, 201918mGuest: Ryan Vogel, Director of the Center for National Security Studies, Utah Valley University  Iran says it’s on the verge of boosting its stockpile of enriched uranium beyond the limit set in the 2015 nuclear agreement, unless it gets serious relief from sanctions imposed by the United States. Last year, the US withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and has been waging a campaign of “maximum pressure” on Iran, including an attempt to drive Iran’s oil revenue to zero. The US also accuses Iran of attacks on two oil tankers in the Persian Gulf region last week, which Iran denies. But, America’s European allies are skeptical that Iran’s been up to as much mischief as the US claims. There’s international concern this could all escalate into a war.

Why So Many Candidates Are Running for President In 2020?Jun 18, 201915mGuest: Hans Hassell, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Florida State University, Author of “The Party's Primary: Control of Congressional Nominations” The first debate of the 2020 presidential election is set for next week in Miami –twenty Democrats vying for their party’s nomination will debate in two separate groups. They gotta split them up because one debate between 20 people would just be too unwieldy –and that’s already leaving out four others who didn’t meet the Democratic party’s criteria to participate in the debate.

NASA Practicing Techniques for Countering Deadly AsteroidsJun 18, 201916mGuest: Richard Binzel, Professor of Planetary Science, MIT An asteroid the size of a city-block is hurtling towards Earth, and scientists scramble to respond. They launch six spacecraft to slam into the asteroid and knock it off course –but, instead, a chunk splits off and makes a beeline for Central Park in New York City and destroys the lower half of Manhattan. That’s how a simulation went at NASA’s recent Planetary Defense Conference.
