This week, Ron Steslow calls Hagar Chemali to talk about some of the most important stories going on around the world:

First, we discuss President Biden pardoning his son, Hunter, and weighing other preemptive pardons

Next, we look at South Korea’s president invoking martial law

After that, we break down the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire deal

Finally, for our Politicology+ subscribers, we keep going around the world to talk about Iranian assassination plots (including one against a famous Iranian women’s rights activist), the pros and cons of an undisciplined and unpredictable Donald Trump, why Russian propaganda is using AI TV commentators, how the incoming administration might try to end the war in Ukraine, and more.
