The Phantom Ceasefire, Six-Dollar Diesel, and the Mom Crying at City Market over grocery costs.Trump announced an “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine. Neither Putin nor Zelensky had any idea what he was talking about. Hours later Ukraine smoked a Russian refinery. Russia responded with a ballistic missile strike that blacked out all of Kyiv.Meanwhile in Saudi Arabia, the Houthis — fighters out of one of the poorest nations on Earth — have shut down Riyadh’s international airport, killed 15, wounded 300, and the Saudi military cannot stop them. The U.S. is out of Patriot interceptors because we gave them all to Israel.And in Steamboat, Colorado, a 30-year-old mom stood in the City Market dairy aisle with her kids in the cart and quietly cried over a $9 carton of whipping cream she couldn’t buy. Diesel is pushing $7 a gallon. Gas is $5.This week we walk through all of it. Plus Ty’s own Baghdad chow hall story about why contractors don’t hide under plastic tables, Ben Askren’s lung-transplant GoFundMe, the student loan trap, and one open question we’re putting to listeners: what system would you build if you were king for a day?
