Iran just told Trump: reopen Hormuz on our terms, or it stays shut forever. Who's actually calling the shots?Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word AI manifesto today that doesn't beg government to save the world from his own product — a first for Silicon Valley. In this episode, Yaron breaks down why that's a genuine breath of fresh air, and the one line buried in it that undercuts the whole thing.Then: Iran believes it holds every card in this war, and it's hard to argue they're wrong. 440.9 kg of 60%-enriched uranium — enough for ten bombs — is unaccounted for. The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. Tehran is studying North Korea's playbook, not Libya's.Plus: hackers just hit water systems in 12 states, Lockheed is blocking Ukraine from building its own Patriot missiles, why Yaron actually likes video gamers running air traffic control towers, and a live audience Q&A on values, justice, and how to actually think straight in a chaotic world.⏱ Timestamps0:00 — Weekend recap + Friday's Odyssey review2:20 — Does Tucker run in 2028, or does he back JD Vance?4:55 — Zuckerberg's AI manifesto: the good, the bad, and the government-sized hole in it29:51 — "Iran has all the cards, Trump has none" — how did we get here?50:08 — The two things that actually matter for US national security right now56:49 — America's munitions crisis: can we even fight the next war?1:05:06 — Gaza's stalemate and why Netanyahu has to go1:07:42 — Cyberattacks hit water systems in 12 states — is Iran behind it?1:07:50 — The economy nobody trusts: Americans are traveling more than ever1:22:48 — Gamers are now running air traffic control.
