All right, we're live Saturday. 5.40 p.m. on the East Coast, Tim's out west, and we got breaking news.

Unlike the last fits and starts, it does appear, Tim, that we are on the verge of an actual Iran deal.

You can call it an extension and ceasefire, a memorandum of understanding. But some sort of negotiated temporary settlement is close

Trump tweeted about it this afternoon it's a lot of words I don't need to read them all

maybe we could put it up on the screen so folks can see it but it was just a

summarization he talked to a lot of leaders in the Middle East. He made it clear that there are near the final

aspects of a deal. They're currently in discussion, really just kind of down to the wordage.

He did say, and we'll get to this in a little bit, that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened.

Now, there's some questions about how true that is. But I have my takeaways on this, but Tim, I know you wanted to, you had a few

thoughts here about sort of what's happening. Yeah. I mean, look, I guess it's, it is important to

just say certainly preferable that Trump humiliates himself and surrenders and does a deal worse

than the Obama deal as opposed to,

you know, ending the Iranian civilization or unending escalation. So that's worth noting.

I think that, and we can get into kind of the details of what's happening to the extent that we know,

but just looking at this from a political perspective, a total unmitigated disaster for him.

If you, like, created a Venn diagram of people who thought the war was a good idea and think

that this deal is a good idea, it's like literally people on his payroll.

It's Trump and Wickoff and I guess probably, I'm sure Scott Jennings and CNN just pays him to

say whatever Trump wants.

The Maca accounts are loving it.

They think he's brought peace to earth.

But other than that.
