This week, we discuss the recent election in Hungary, which saw incumbent Prime Minister lose in a historic landslide to his former ally, ousting him after 16 years in power.
The War in Iran continues to escalate, with the US now blockading Iranian ports and the potential involvement of China not being ruled out.
Plus, SCOTUS have overturned a Colorado state ban on conversion therapy, and I speak to Reverend Caleb Lines, who is critical of the decision.
The guest today is Jacob Jarvis, host of American Friction.
