This morning, I interviewed Iran’s exiled crown prince @officialrezapahlavi during a live taping of #TheConversation at the @politico.live Security Summit. He urged President Trump to “finish the job” in Iran and told me Trump should stop sending mixed messages about his intentions in the war, including his threat to “wipe out” Iran’s civilization. “It’s part of sending the mixed signal. Are you here to liberate us or further hurt us?” he told me. Subscribe to #TheConversation to listen to the full interview on Friday. Link in bio. 📷: Rod Lamkey for POLITICO

Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta criticized Pete Hegseth’s leadership at the Pentagon, and said he is “cheerleading rather than leading” the military. “Every time you use that kind of language … nobody listens anymore because it’s not real. It’s not real,” he told our @dashaburns on #TheConversation. Panetta said he still doesn’t believe Hegseth is qualified to lead the Defense Department.

The next generation of workers will need to be “AI natives,” said David Sacks, a special adviser to Trump on AI. “I think AI is good at automating some tasks, but it’s very hard to automate an entire job away,” he told our @dashaburns on #TheConversation. Sacks added that young people should “lean in” to using AI tools so they can be more productive when they enter the workforce.
