| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the PDB Situation Report. I'm Mike Baker. Your eyes and ears on the world stage. All right. Let's get briefed. First up, the Trump administration may give Ukraine |
| 0:24.2 | Tamahawk missiles to strike deep into Russia alongside new U.S. Intel support. We'll be joined by |
| 0:30.5 | George Barros of the Institute for the Study of War for more on that. Later in the show, the IDF presses |
| 0:36.8 | its offensive in Gaza's city, while Hamas |
| 0:39.4 | weighs a ceasefire proposal supported by Trump, Netanyahu, and much of the international |

| 1:46.6 | It's great to see you once again. |
| 1:47.7 | Thanks for having me. |
| 1:48.9 | First up, of course, is the fact that Taylor Swift is dropping her new album. |
| 1:53.9 | I don't know if that's what the kids still say, but I know we were talking before the show |
| 1:58.6 | and we're both super excited about this. |
