Pags reacts to President Trump's late-night Truth Social post questioning America's support for South Korea—and this time, Pags has a real problem with what the president is saying. South Korea is an important U.S. ally, so what exactly is Trump trying to accomplish? Pags brings you Trump's own explanation before another jaw-dropping moment: the president floats the idea of making the Strait of Hormuz U.S. territory. Could that even happen? Then Trump gets into a fiery back-and-forth with a CNN reporter and weighs in on the growing controversy surrounding Flock surveillance cameras. Finally, former Deputy National Security Adviser Victoria Coates joins the program to cut through the noise on the biggest foreign-policy questions of the moment. Why is Trump suddenly talking this way about South Korea? Is America actually defeating Iran—economically, militarily, or both? And after weeks of conflicting claims, is the Strait of Hormuz OPEN or CLOSED? Coates gives Pags a definitive answer and reveals where the Iran conflict goes from here.
