Today on America in the MorningTrump-Japan Meeting Over Iran This week marked the third week we have been at war with Iran, and concerns have been raised over the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz which has led to gas prices rising, asks by President Trump of world leaders who have all said no, including the Prime Minister of Japan, to help the US get the vital waterway open, and attacks by Iran on Gulf oil and gas facilities. John Stolnis has details from Washington. More War Money Needed After spending $11 billion dollars in the initial first few days of the war in the Middle East, the Pentagon is seeking an extra $200 billion in Iran war funding. As Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports, the Pentagon says this is to replenish armaments, but the call to add more supplemental spending is getting a frosty reception on Capitol Hill, where Republican Senator James Lankford and Democrat Senator Tammy Duckworth told CNN that the Pentagon will not receive a blank check. TSA Lines Get Longer As the stalemate over the Homeland Security Department budget continues, more TSA agents are calling out and others are getting help from their neighbors. Details from correspondent Rich Johnson. Latest On Missing Student In Spain A tragic ending to the story of an American college student who was reported missing earlier this week in Spain. Correspondent Clayton Neville reports the 20-year-old was visiting friends for spring break and planned to return to the United States this weekend when he went missing. Latest House Epstein Hearing Lawmakers deposed one of Jeffrey Epstein's associates as part of the House investigation into late-sex offender's dealings. Correspondent Jennifer King reports. Netanyahu News Conference With internet rumors swirling that he was dead and replaced in Israel's government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference hailing the US and Israeli action against Iran, and vowing to do whatever it takes to stop both the Iranian regime and Hezbollah operating in Lebanon. Correspondent Clayton Neville reports that Netanyahu emphatically stated his nation did not coerce or drag the US into the conflict. Targeting Oil & Gas Middle Eastern energy producing nations have been rattled by Iran's attack on oil and liquefied natural gas fields in nations including Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. Correspondent Jon Gambrell reports Gulf nations are fearing Iran targeting energy infrastructure could hurt them for years if attacks worsen. Removing The Chavez Name Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Thursday signed a proclamation renaming the city's Cesar Chavez Day holiday as “Farmworker's Day,” which comes after news of sex assault allegations against the late labor leader. Student Loans New Home The Trump administration is making a move to push student loan coverage out of the overview of the Department of Education. Correspondent Ed Donahue reports.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWelcome to the Monday Fallout edition of A World Gone Mad.The week opens with a courtroom ruling that undercuts a familiar strategy. What was framed as strength now looks like a stall, and the legal road ahead grows steeper by the day.Inside the Capitol, party leaders search for new ways to rewrite a storyline that refuses to cooperate. The effort to shift perception only raises more questions about judgment and credibility.Beyond Washington, the ripple effect spreads. A sudden resignation abroad jolts markets and reminds the world how fragile political stability can be. The timing and the speed of it all caught observers off guard.Across the Atlantic, a labor stoppage in one of the globe's busiest cities forces everyday people into extraordinary adjustments. What should have been routine travel becomes a test of endurance and patience.Back in the United States, economic leadership is tested in a far less professional way. The people trusted with guiding policy and markets find themselves making headlines for the wrong reasons… and it is not about strategy.Each of these moments may seem separate. Legal rulings, leadership stumbles, transportation strikes, and personal clashes. But together they tell a larger story of institutions under stress and individuals struggling to control the narrative.This Monday Fallout episode of A World Gone Mad connects the dots. It delivers the perspective that cuts through the noise and makes sense of how power, politics, and personality collide at the start of a new week.I'm Jeff Alan Wolf, and I'm not going to ignore this…and neither should you. Send me an email so I can pin your state on my studio wall. And if you're listening outside the United States, I'd love to hear from you as well. wolfpacktalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com
