This week, we're joined by JTA Washington Bureau Chief Ron Kampeas to unpack former Vice President Joe Biden's selection of Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate. Then, in the wake of the fatal explosion in Beirut in last week, we speak to Matthew Levitt, Director of the Reinhard program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, about the dire need to reform Lebanon's political system due to the pernicious role played by Iranian proxy Hezbollah.
