## Resource

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, Carl Cannon and James S. Robbins; Dean of Academics at the Institute of World Politics; discuss President Donald Trump’s move to close the Straits of Hormuz after the failure of this weekend’s ceasefire talks and the electoral defeat of Hungarian president Victor Orban. Next, RCP National political correspondent Susan Crabtree joins the guys to discuss the fall of Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) who quit the California gubernatorial primary after accusations of sexual misconduct, and what his withdrawal may mean for the governor’s race. Then, closing it up, they talk about President Trump’s Sunday social media post attacking Pope Leo XIV, and the results of this weekend’s Masters Tournament. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
