comes out twice a week. So let's get started right away, James. There was a couple of things I

wanted to talk about and I just saw the headline and five Iranian boats. Now we're pre-recording

this on Wednesday evening. This will air Friday. So a lot's going to transpire between now and

Friday, but five Iranian boats reportedly tried to seize a British oil tanker off Iran yesterday.

The Iran's elite revolutionary guard tried to take control of the vessel as it passed through the strait of Hormuz.

And, of course, that sparked a little bit of a tense standoff in the Persian gulf.

Same old thing, or is this just flexing of muscles?

Is this trying to engage confrontation to take it to the next level?

Do we need to pay attention, Or is this just another fake news?

Maybe all of the above?
