On this episode of the podcast former Deputy National Security Advisor and Vice President of National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, Victoria Coates breaks down the most pressing issue today: the United States taking action against Iran to destroy and dismantle their nuclear enrichment centers and program as a whole.

Coates offers her expert analysis on escalating tensions in the Middle East and the ongoing threats from China and Russia, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and the importance of energy independence in global diplomacy.

Together, Amanda and Victoria dissect how these complex geopolitical dynamics intersect with domestic policy, why America’s adversaries feel emboldened, and what a renewed national security strategy under a future conservative administration might look like.
