The world is reacting following the Oval Office disaster last week at which Trump and Vance called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ungrateful and gave him a dressing down. French President Emmanuel Macron is now urging European nations to increase defense spending. The move is a direct response to America's new pivot toward Russia. In addition, Elon Musk, who seems to have Trump's ear, is calling for the United States to check out of NATO. That notion also has European nations looking to increase their own national defense readiness.
We welcome Gary Dietrich, CBS iHeart Television & Radio Political Analyst, to the show to talk politics.
Then, Yale Professor Timothy Snyder will join us. He is an historian specializing in Central and Eastern European history, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust. Law & Disorder brings word that Trump is taking the documents the FBI seized back to Mar-a-Lago.
