Jake Smith's panel covers the proposed U.S.–Iran peace deal, rising anti-Semitism in New York, Mamdani's clash with Ken Griffin, and a historic market rally.Jake Smith and the Your News Talk America panel break down a packed news day starting with the proposed U.S.–Iran negotiated settlement and the 14-point plan reportedly submitted to President Trump. Former Iranian political prisoner Shireen Nariman warns the regime has a history of buying time, while former Shilo Mayor David Rubin argues any agreement signed in Tehran is likely "a wasted piece of paper."
