Surrender at Versailles (Again)

Send us a message!!!

Happy Father's Day, Bloc. Season 3, Episode 25 is live.

The boys open with some real talk for the dads: present, active, and fighting the silent battles nobody sees. Then it's straight to work.

This week on Pardon the Politics:

🌍 G7 SUMMIT - ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, FRANCE
The world's richest democracies gathered in France, and by all accounts, nobody flipped a chair. Jeezy, Manny, and Chuck break down what 'smoother than expected' actually means, and why the G7's unity is as much about survival as it is about solidarity. Ukraine gets public backing. China emerges as the quiet giant nobody wanted to talk about loudly. And Manny lays out why the rest of the G7 have started doing business without first asking Washington.

🇮🇷 US-IRAN WAR UPDATE -  THE $300B QUESTION
Talks are happening in Switzerland. JD Vance is there. Iran treats the whole thing like a game, and Chuck makes the case that they're winning it. The 14-point MOU gets a full autopsy: when compared side by side with Obama's JCPOA, Chuck calls it 'the biggest signing of surrender at Versailles since Versailles.' Manny breaks down the Strait of Hormuz toll — what it actually means for your gas prices, your groceries, and your healthcare. Plus: Lebanon is the war inside the war, and Israel keeps Homer Simpsoning into the bushes.
