Why Iran Is Winning the War + JD Solves Daycare!

Episode Description from the Publisher

**recorded on 4/8 when the ceasefire was still tentative but holding** This week the crew reacts to the “deadline” and the “ceasefire” and explains why both need air quotes. Seena works out some white board magic to show exactly how much Iran has gained since Trump and Bibi began their war– an unquestionable success, yes, but for the wrong side. They also look into wtf JD is doing in Hungary, celebrate Artemis II, and rejoice that Trump and JD have finally solved our childcare crisis. With a solution that simple it’s a wonder it’s taken this long. 😑 JD Vance Corner Song: Kevin Flatt and SB JD Vance Corner Animation: Bridgit Connell Media: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/8/netanyahu-says-us-iran-ceasefire-does-not-include-lebanon?utm_campaign=Weekly_0804/2026&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendinblue https://armscontrolcenter.org/the-iran-deal-then-and-now/ https://www.cfr.org/backgrounders/what-iran-nuclear-deal https://egyptoil-gas.com/news/iran-signs-33-oil-gas-mous-after-jcpoa/#:~:text=National%20Iranian%20Oil%20Company%20(NIOC,and%20the%20world%20major%20powers https://www.eia.gov/international/content/analysis/countries_long/Iran/pdf/Iran%20CAB%202024.pdf https://charbonzickpean.com/artemis2mission.html https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/lunar-flyby/ https://www.reuters.com/podcasts/flying-moon-2026-04-04/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=Newsletter&utm_campaign=Reuters-Week-Ahead&utm_term=040626&lctg=69bab9b01de8876ee8417520 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/world/europe/viktor-orban-hungary-election-russia.html?campaign_id=346&emc=edit_wor_20260406&instance_id=173670&nl=the-world®i_id=61617578&segment_id=217827&user_id=938bf81e2a681e73b55de1f8ba3e8d23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GUoCvIMrgc https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd6l3ywpwg2o https://x.com/factpostnews/status/2039444784083771629?s=20 https://www.instagram.com/p/DWwl65XDrUO/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/07/jd-vance-hungary-viktor-orban-election https://apnews.com/article/jd-vance-hungary-orban-election-campaign-08e0929e9c8b3ae4302ae4e8c0393d5e?user_email=92bc3449781eed425b4f99e69ea51e8c0d0aa3f457676d4160e921b1bcac8241&utm_medium=Morning_Wire&utm_source Follow The Show: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheForeignReportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/foreignreportshow/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@foreignreportlpnThreads: https://www.threads.net/@foreignreportshowWebsite: https://www.foreignreportshow.com/ Follow the Host:https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/travisirvineusa/?hl=en Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
