    Saudi Arabia’s Transformation and its Role in the Middle East
    Jul 1 2025
    The U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran put a new spotlight on Saudi Arabia, where Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is rapidly shifting his country both domestically and on the world stage. On this episode of All Things, journalist Karen Elliott House--drawing on her new book, "The Man Who Would Be King"--explains the crown prince's work to rein in clerics, to reduce restrictions on women, music and "fun," and to transform Saudi Arabia's economy by courting new industries and foreign investment. She also breaks down Saudi Arabia's bid to become a new regional and global player, how the kingdom is a "silent winner” in the wake of the Iranian conflict, and the challenges to an ongoing U.S.-Saudi relationship.

    Linda McMahon on the Department of Education's 'Final Mission'
    Jun 17 2025
    Forty-five years after its creation, the Department of Education has spent $3 trillion, even as educational outcomes have declined and the agency now swims in student-loan debt. On this episode of All Things, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon breaks down Donald Trump's plan to return education to the states--and to ultimately close the department. She explains cuts to the federal bureaucracy; plans to overhaul the department's behemoth K-12 grant program; the administration's fight with colleges over antisemitism and woke ideology, as well as Harvard's lawsuit; and the ongoing effort to move some 1.8 million borrowers back into student-loan repayment plans.
