Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Breaking Points. We got a little bit of an unusual setup here.

Really unusual. Sogars out, and apparently we needed more than one person to be able to

shoulder that load. Unprecedented, I think, right? Yes, it is unprecedented. Yeah, so we've got a little

bit of an unusual setup here today. We're all going to do the first block here talking about the Iran war. Then we're going to have a little Crystal and Emily time. Then we're going to bring Ryan back for the later half of the show. Anyway, we're working out with scheduling. But I want to make sure we're all involved here for the biggest news of the day in terms of what's going on with Iran. Negotiations may be on. They may be off. U.S. suzing and Iranian ship doesn't look

good in terms of the escalatory ladder, so we'll break that down. We've also got an inside look

at Trump's mentality and his own doubts and concerns about whether he himself is turning into

Jimmy Carter. So that's an interesting one.

We've got backlash after an IDF soldier desecrates a statue of Jesus.

Cash Patel apparently on thin ice and drinking extremely heavily.
