From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle.

This is Tangle.

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle Podcast, a place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take.

I'm your host, Isaac Saul. Today is April 20th. It's a Monday, and we are covering the updates on the war with Iran that came through over the weekend and what the current status of the Strait of Hormuz is.

letting us know what you

think and we'll keep an eye out for your feedback. With that, I'm going to hand it over to John

for today's main topic and I'll be back for my take. Thanks, Isaac, and welcome everybody. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Let's get started with

The shooter died while attempting to evade

police by car. Number two, Congress approved an extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence
