We examine the massive political blowback Donald Trump is facing from both foreign policy hawks and his own MAGA base, the staggering cost of recent military operations, and suspicious prediction market bets placed just before major tactical announcements. Later in the broadcast, we take a deep dive into the &quot;tuning fork&quot; of Middle East geopolitics. This comprehensive breakdown covers the historical context of Israel, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Saudi Arabia, and how the Abraham Accords shifted the balance of power leading up to the current conflict.
