This week TFR welcomes former Ambassador Joseph Manso to the show to help us figure out what the hell is going on out there. We discuss his career in foreign service, his thoughts on the shifting global order, cuts to the State Department, the war in Ukraine, the potential for a new Iranian nuclear deal, and much more.

So much to cover this week! The Trump administration crosses the 100 day mark, so Seena and Travis take stock of their self-proclaimed "achievements" and check in on some recent polling that suggests Americans aren’t buying it. As tension rises in Kashmir, they provide some historical context for the long-standing conflict between India and Pakistan. And a little surprise about Seena's last name shows up in the Pakistani nuclear arsenal. They dig into the surprising liberal party victory in Canada and check in on our other neighbors to the north in Greenland. And, of course, not to be forgotten, JD Vance keeps reminding us why he’s hated all over the world.

The hits just keep coming with SignalGate 2.0. This week Seena and Travis cringe-watch Pete Hegseth’s children cringe-watching their father’s Easter Day rant. They dig into the legitimacy of the supposed “leak investigation” that resulted in the dismissal of three former Hegseth loyalists and review Trump’s proposal to end the war in Ukraine, which surprising to no one is a big win for Putin. They close by celebrating the chaos and idiocy that has been Vance’s first 100 days as VP.
