Tuesday was a big day in foreign policy news. Israel launched a barrage of airstrikes on Gaza Monday night, its first attack since a ceasefire with Hamas took hold in January. Officials in Gaza say more than 400 people were killed. And President Donald Trump held a 90-minute phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine. Putin ostensibly agreed to a 30-day limited ceasefire on energy and infrastructure targets — far short of the unconditional ceasefire proposal Ukraine and the U.S. negotiated earlier this month. Oh, and Trump threatened ‘dire consequences’ for Iran over attacks from Houthi rebels in Yemen. Crooked’s own Tommy Vietor, co-host of ‘Pod Save the World,’ breaks down all the big international headlines and what they say about Trump’s approach to foreign policy. And in headlines: Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked Trump over his calls to impeach federal judges, the Pentagon continued its purge of website pages honoring minority groups, and two stranded U.S. astronauts returned to Earth.

  • It's Wednesday, March 19th.

  • I'm Jane Coston, and this is Whataday, the show that agrees with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo here talking about tariffs for, like, the first time ever.

  • See, these are the things that people are really worried about because they first thought it was just about trade, then they thought it was just about fentanyl.

  • Then after that, we talked about, well, maybe it's currency manipulation and maybe it's now you're talking about food testing.

  • And when I bring up the issue of clarity, that's, that's what I'm talking about and that's what I'm hearing from corporate America, that we're not sure where this is going.

  • I also do not know where this is going.

  • Not just tariffs, like any of it.

  • On today's show, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rebukes President Donald Trump over his calls to impeach federal judges and the stranded US Astronauts return to Earth.

  • But let's start with foreign policy news because, woo, boy, there's a lot of it.

  • On Tuesday, President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone call to talk about a ceasefire deal to end Russia's war on Ukraine and the potential for a Russia US Hockey series.

  • Because, sure, during the call, Trump proposed that both Russia and Ukraine refrain from attacking, quote, energy infrastructure facilities.

  • And Putin, according to a Kremlin readout of the conversation, seemed to be kind of into the idea.

  • Quote, Vladimir Putin responded positively to this initiative and immediately gave the Russian military the corresponding order.

  • And Trump responded positively to all the attention.

  • The call got him, too.

  • He went on Fox News Tuesday night to talk about it.

  • And we want to get it over with.

  • Look, we're doing this.

  • There are no Americans involved.

  • There could be if you end up in World War III over this, which is so ridiculous.
