Iran Ceasefire Dead

On tonight’s show at 6pm ET US, I’ll be discussing Trump’s Iran war spiraling right back out of control. The ceasefire is apparently over, Iran has reportedly attacked commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. is firing back, Iran is firing back at U.S. military targets, and now Trump is openly threatening to knock out bridges, desalination plants, and maybe even take over Iran’s Kharg Island. What could possibly go wrong?And of course, this all has consequences here at home. Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is still way down, oil is at risk again, and gas prices are still up sharply since this war started. So Trump’s brilliant Middle East adventure may once again hit Americans right in the wallet.I’ll also get into a stunning CNN report that U.S. military commanders allegedly approved Iran strike targets based on years-old intelligence -- including one strike that reportedly hit a school and killed nearly 200 children and adults. This is what happens when a president surrounds himself with TV clowns, hedge-fund types, and people more interested in looking tough than being competent.Then we’ll turn to Trump’s latest meltdown at the NATO summit in Turkey: confusing Iran and Japan, saying we should have stolen Greenland during World War II, ranting that Spain is a “wasted cause,” and somehow managing to look even more unhinged while sitting next to Zelenskyy.And finally, I’ll talk about Ukraine. Trump is now talking about letting Ukraine build Patriot systems, though experts warn that could take years. Meanwhile, new reporting suggests Trump has been told Russia’s economy is in real trouble, Ukraine is doing real damage to Russian oil and gas, and Putin may be in a much weaker position than Trump thought. And if there’s one thing Trump understands, it’s that he likes winners. This is a public episode.
