Summary

In the brief period since President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States, Iran has claimed that the United States and Israel have violated its terms. As a result, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz — again. According to Iranian state media, the 10-point framework Trump agreed to includes an end to Israeli attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon, an end to all sanctions, and permission for Iran to enrich as much nuclear material as it wants. But the White House told the New York Times that's not the plan the U.S. is working from. So what, exactly, did Trump achieve by threatening to destroy Iran's civilization on Tuesday? Tommy Vietor, co-host of Crooked Media's Pod Save the World, joins the show to discuss.

And in headlines, Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues its chaotic operations, the Trump administration's unpopularity hurts the GOP in local elections, and the U.K. tosses Ye's, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, rehabilitation tour in the bin.

It's Thursday, April 9th. I'm Jane Koston, and this is what a day. The show that wants to know,

0:08.3

have you been wishing for a new podcast from a man who tells it like it is? A man who stands up to the

0:13.6

authorities. A man whose dulcet tones will ease your worried mind. For decades now, Americans have

0:19.5

been told that we should trust the system,

0:21.1

but our children are sicker, chronic diseases exploding, and the answers that we've been

0:26.0

given aren't working. Many of us have come to the conclusion that government actually lies to us.

0:32.1

I'm Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., your HHS secretary. This podcast is about telling the truth, especially when it's uncomfortable.

0:40.3

The government lies to you, except for me, the government.

0:44.1

Now with a podcast.

0:53.0

On today's show, the Trump administration's unpopularity continues to hurt the GOP in local elections.

0:58.5

And the UK tosses Kanye's, I mean, Yeas, rehabilitation tour, in the bin.

1:03.7

But let's start with the ceasefire in Iran, or whatever is left of it.

1:08.7

We're recording this show on Wednesday evening, about one day after Trump announced a two-week

1:13.1

ceasefire between Iran and the United States. But in that time, we've seen statements that

1:17.6

don't make sense, continued violence, and claims by Iran that the United States and Israel

1:21.6

have already violated the terms of the ceasefire. Oh, and the Strait of Hormuz is closed.

1:27.1

Again, there's also been a lot of confusion.

1:30.2

I mentioned yesterday that Trump had agreed to Iran's 10-point framework for peace talks.

1:35.1

Well, it turns out, according to Iran state media, that framework includes an end to Israeli

1:39.9

attacks on Hezbollah and Lebanon, and an end to all sanctions, and permission for Iran to

1:45.9

enrich as much nuclear material as it wants. Which is weird, because Iran's nuclear program was the
