How did the Houthis manage to hit Riyadh’s main international airport?
Have an amazing show for everybody today. What do we have, Crystal?
Indeed we do. A lot going on with regards to the Iran war. The Houthis were able to strike the main international airport in Riyadh. Trump is apparently at a complete loss as to what to do about the situation. We've got new inside details there. Yanis Varoufakis is going to join us this morning to talk both about the latest with regards to Ukraine. They launched a massive drone attack on Moscow. And we're also going to get him to break down the global bond sell-off, which has been incredibly consequential here and around the world. The U.S. apparently almost started a war with China based on a faulty chat GPT AI report. report. So love that for us and for the world. Truckers are sounding off as diesel tops $6.50 a gallon.

But as Crystal said, Trump indecisiveness is really kind of one of the major headline stories this morning. Let's put this up here on the screen, breaking early this morning from the New York Times. Basically, they say Trump gets caught in a dilemma over a Saudi plea for military help. So obviously the major headline story of the last two weeks has been the extraordinary Houthi military campaign against the Saudi-backed forces in Yemen, where they not only were able to seize strategic port of Mocha, but they were also able to take control of the entire Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
