On today’s episode of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott broadcasts live from Washington, D.C., as Iran rejects key elements of President Trump’s peace proposal, prompting new concerns that the ceasefire may collapse, with retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward joining to discuss the possibility of renewed military action, China’s role in negotiations, and fallout from Senator Mark Kelly discussing sensitive military information on television.
