Good evening once again. I am Stephanie Ruhl. It is Friday, so welcome to the nightcap. It is day 69 of Trump's war in Iran.

And tensions in the region remain high, high, high. Today, the UAE reported a new wave of attacks from Tehran and the U.S. disabled two more Iranian tankers trying to break the blockade.

Despite the burst of violence, the president still insists that the ceasefire is holding,

but Iran has yet to respond to a one-page U.S. proposal for the sides to reopen the street

and cease hostilities for 30 days.

Like, what in the world does a ceasefire mean is my question tonight?

Meanwhile, the conflict is taking a toll on how voters feel about the economy.

Consumer sentiment fell to its lowest level on record, according to the University of Michigan's

latest report.

Yet there is the president earlier this week telling us consumer confidence is way up. Well, let me just tell you again. Like Michigan, it is not. One of the main reasons, gas prices. They now average $4.55 a gallon, and that right there is the truth. And if you don't want to believe me, no sweat. Go outside and check your local station. Now, let's bring in our

nightcap. Philip Pump is back, senior data editor and columnist for CT Insider, Mary Harris,

host and managing editor of Slate's Daily News podcast that you must listen to What's Next,

political content creator, social media commentator, young superstar Harry Sisson, and a man who he devoted

our last thing to earlier this week, a man who at this point needs no introduction.

Guys, sorry.
