It's Monday, May 22nd. I'm Trevelle Anderson.

And I want you to tell everyone this is what a day.

We want to give a shout out to all the people out there with absolutely no opinion on Taylor Swift's new boyfriend.

I have never heard and never seen it. Don't know it.

Listen, we all know too much about her day in history.

And it's no shade.

On today's show Greece's conservative ruling party won big in national elections over the weekend.

Plus, Republicans are losing it because Senator John Fetterman is redefining Capitol Hill fashion.

Let this man live. If he wants to rock basketball shorts, let it be.

But first, as Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, was preparing to sit down with G7 leaders in Hiroshima, Japan this weekend,

While in Japan, Zelensky compared the devastation to Hiroshima after the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945 and every bit of that symbolism is absolutely heartbreaking.

And it's kind of horrible that he has to make that comparison, right? So convey the extent of devastation.

So let's backtrack for a second. Why exactly was Zelensky in Japan in the first place?

So as we've discussed on the show recently, Zelensky had been making the rounds through Europe requesting more aid, more defense weapons, and support from NATO allies.

And his trip to the G7 summit was a last minute addition to that push.

And let's be real. By showing up in person, in Japan, face to face with other world leaders, Zelensky changed the entire G7 conversation and assured that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was front and center.

His arrival shifted focus away from key summit agenda items, including threats of growing nuclear arsenals in China and North Korea, climate change, artificial intelligence, outreach to the developing world, and more.
