Headlines, and the $10 Billion Mood Swing

from The Briefing Room · host Marcus S. Atkinson

Today in THE BRIEFING ROOM, we’re tracking the Trump news cycle as the Iran conflict drives new pressure on allies to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz — and the energy shock is already hitting Americans at the pump, including right here in Pennsylvania. We also dig into Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC and why the network is asking a U.S. judge to toss it. Pull up a chair: the clippers are humming, the jury’s seated, and the takes are on the record.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-briefing-room--5656912/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
