We are now looking at what some experts are calling the Armageddon scenario for global energy. This is after missile strikes hit a facility that supplies about a fifth of the world’s gas. This is, of course, directly tied to the optional escalation happening under Donald Trump in Iran.
Prices are spiking. We’ve seen shortages start, and this is going to ripple through the economy in a way that will affect every single one of us.
Now we’re also going to look at a moment where Donald Trump said something so bizarre to the Japanese Prime Minister about Pearl Harbor that everyone looked stunned, and the dementia question came up again.
At the same time, Trump seems to be realizing that the situation is likely to get much worse, especially as far as gas, oil, diesel, and even fertilizer prices are concerned.
And behind the scenes, there is an important shift where top Republican donors are moving away from JD Vance and toward Marco Rubio in thinking about 2028. This says a lot about how they see Trump’s power significantly diminished.
We’ll also hear from some voters who voted for Trump, not once, not twice, but three times. But they are sick of him.
