Summary

This morning, we break down a whirlwind of developments raising serious questions about leadership and global stability. After a late-night barrage of erratic and inflammatory posts, concerns are growing about Donald Trump’s state of mind and what it means in a moment of escalating crisis. We’ll also look at the political shock out of Hungary, where Viktor Orbán has suffered a major defeat, signaling a shift away from his brand of leadership. Given Trump’s long-standing support for Orbán, what does this mean for his broader political influence? And as tensions rise in the Middle East, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz marks a significant escalation in a conflict that many Americans oppose. So where is all of this heading, and how does it end? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

start. But I think the, I think the best place to start is Jesus.

2:03.4

Victor Orban lost, like, huge, bigly. And then he went to negotiate the Iran to open the Strait of Harmuz. Nothing.

2:07.8

None of that works. So the United States has officially begun its own blockade of the Strait of Harmuz after U.S. negotiators, which was J.D. Vance and Jared Kushner, whatever, didn't secure

a deal, not one deal, no nothing in these peace talks with Iran over the weekend. And we're going to get into all of that, what all this means for you, for the conflict, the global economy, your wallet, all of that. First of the word from our sponsors.

And that's what makes you feel rough the next day. So I tried it before going out recently and I had it before my first drink and I woke
