Trump's Sunday Just Got Even Uglier...
Summary
The episode critiques Donald Trump’s claim that oil prices will drop once Iran surrenders, contrasting this with record-high fuel costs and ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. It covers Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi’s rejection of US demands and the capture of a US drone, while exposing Treasury Secretary Bessent’s misleading statements about open shipping lanes. The hosts also discuss the Trump administration’s alleged interference in Romanian politics, the economic impact of tariffs on farmers, and a suspected bomb plot at a UK air base used for strikes on Iran.
