This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by their Brookings and Lawfare colleague Molly Reynolds to talk all things Congress in the week\u2019s national security news, including:

• Shattering the Must-Pass Ceiling.\u201d Earlier this week, President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced a deal on raising the debt ceiling, and thereby avoiding a potential financial catastrophe. The question now is whether they can sell it to enough members of Congress, where right-wing members of McCarthy\u2019s caucus are promising to sink it. Will the deal make it through? And if not, what might come next?
• \u201cRecep Tayyip Erdo-won.\u201d After a close fought contest, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan has emerged victorious from run-offs in T\xfcrkiye\u2019s national elections, positioning him for a third term in office and a third decade in power. Does the reelection of the increasingly autocratic figure mean the further decline of Turkish democracy? And T\xfcrkiye\u2019s flagging relationship with the West?
• \u201cI\u2019m Sorry, Dave. I\u2019m Afraid That\u2019s Not Regulation.\u201d The head of several leading AI developers are actively urging Congress to regulate the industry\u2014even as they continue to roll out new products to the public with untested capabilities. How seriously should we take this plea? And is it aimed at the right risk?
