Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other “Left, Right & Center” panelists discuss Secretary of State John Kerry’s hopes for a deal to freeze Iran’s nuclear program, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s enthusiasm for a plan and whether U.S. election results mean the country is leaning left.

The group listens to a clip from a Lorde song that Bill de Blasio played when he was elected the first Democratic mayor of New York City in 20 years. Also, will Chris Christie be the Republican Bill Clinton? President Obama says he’s sorry, and so does “60 Minutes.”

Scheer and host Matt Miller are joined by National Review editor Rich Lowry.
