Last weekend, there were No Kings rallies in the U.S., but there's one monarch in the Middle East that leaders could learn from today. King Abdullah II of Jordan is quietly giving a masterclass on supporting allies while defending human rights. In this episode, we talk about his recent address to the European Parliament on Gaza and Jordan's role in stopping Iranian missiles en route to Israel. We also cover an underreported story in the U.S.: the pending transfer of Oak Flat, Arizona, to a foreign mining company. What can we do to protect sacred spaces and public lands from destruction? All of this in under 15 minutes!
