This week on Rational Security, Quinta and Scott were jointed by Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien to talk over some of the week's big national security news, including:

• \u201cThe Day After.\u201d As the war in Gaza enters a new phase, discussions are increasingly shifting to focus on how Israel will handle a post-Hamas Gaza Strip\u2014and what long-term impact the conflict will have on the West Bank. How is the day after this war coming into focus?
• \u201cNot Just America\u2019s Mayor\u2026\u201d New York City Mayor Eric Adams is being investigated for accepting donations from a Turkish foundation and other organizations with ties to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, just before lobbying for the early opening of a Turkish consulate in the city. Has Adams done anything wrong? What else could this investigation be looking into?
• \u201cElection Interference Interference Interference.\u201d A lawsuit over the U.S. government\u2019s engagement with social media is interfering with the FBI\u2019s efforts to interfere with those hoping to interfere in our elections\u2014including the upcoming presidential race in 2024. What threats does this chilling effect present? How should the Biden administration be responding?

For object lessons, Quinta recommended \u201cThe Vaster Wilds,\u201d Lauren Groff's new adventure story exploring the experience of colonialism. Tyler endorsed Albert Brooks: Defending My Life, the new documentary about the legendary (at least among people over 30) comedian. And Scott told readers to check out \u201cA City on Mars\u201d by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith for a fun (if pessimistic) exploration of all the challenges facing humanity's budding efforts to expand into outer space.
