05-26-2026 - Trump’s Triple Crisis: Iran Deal Chaos, White House Shooting, and the AI Bubble Burst

from Behind The Ballot · host Mikal Jenkins, Muhamed Alic

Iran is resisting U.S. demands to fully dismantle its nuclear program and surrender enriched uranium, while seeking $24 billion in frozen funds as negotiations continue under a possible 60-day ceasefire extension. President Donald Trump says talks are progressing, though Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly oppose perceived concessions. Meanwhile, a recent White House shooting renewed debate over expanded security funding, and concerns are growing that AI spending by firms like Uber and Microsoft is outpacing real productivity gains as Congress remains divided over Iran, immigration, and Trump-backed policies ahead of the 2026 elections.
