The last word with Lawrence O'Donnell starts right now.

Good evening, Lawrence.

Hey, Chris, we have Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Tribe standing by to talk about what was the big news of the morning at the Supreme Court.

And, of course, we'll begin tonight with the big news of the night, Donald Trump announcing nothing we didn't already know.

That's exactly. I think that's an incredibly appropriate headline already know. That's exactly.

I think that's an incredibly appropriate headline for that.

I really was like, is it really going to be like this the whole way through?

And indeed, it was really like that the whole way through.

You know, the idea is if you ask for network time, you're supposed to tell us something

we don't know.

But that's

not the way it went tonight. I know it was not. Thanks, Chris. Thank you, Lawrence. Thank you.

Well, tonight Donald Trump officially surrendered in his war for control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Last night, we reported to you that Donald Trump said yesterday that the Strait of Hermuz

would open as soon as he ended his war.

In other words, Iran would open the Strait of Hermuz as soon as Donald Trump gives up.

And tonight, after saying, quote, we are going to finish the job, end quote, Donald Trump said it is up to what he called the countries of the world

to open the strait of Hermuz now that he has completely failed to do it

after threatening military power that he would use to open the strait.

Here's what Donald Trump actually said. The countries of the world that do receive oil through the Homoose Strait must take care

of that passage. They must cherish it. They must grab it and cherish it. They can do it easily.

We will be helpful, but they should take the lead in protecting the oil that they so desperately depend on.
