Danielle Pletka, senior fellow and foreign policy expert at the American Enterprise Institute, joins Sarah and Steve to discuss all things foreign policy. The conversation starts with the fiasco that was the first bilateral meeting between the Biden administration and China, and then focuses on Pletka’s expertise related to foreign policy in the Middle East. The three also discuss Danielle’s recent piece for The Dispatch, a conversation she had with a Ph.D. candidate who was imprisoned in Iran for four years.

Naturally, Trump supporter Pletka lies about Biden's response to Nord Stream 2:

She then goes on to equate (via innuendo) Trump's 1/6 terrorism attack to a host of policies that Democrats wish to enact within our Constitutional process.
Pletka is not a "foreign policy expert", rather, she is a "Republican party operative". That is not the same thing.
Good podcast but why the hate towards Puerto Rican statehood? It's for Puerto Ricans to decide and if they vote to join as a state, conservatives should welcome them with open arms.
