We have to talk about how Tucker Carlson just got exposed on Trump straight to his face and the fallout there,

why Iran's firing on U.S. ships after Trump announced Project Freedom with things just spiraling,

and how Congress might actually be about to ban itself from betting on prediction markets, but we break down why that's still probably not going to be enough to stop Insiders trading on the war. First, I have an exciting announcement and update for you. We did our sold-out live show in New York on Friday, and I'm like, I'm still buzzing.

I went in prepared, and I was hoping that it would be a good night, but it was honestly one of the best nights I've ever had on stage in like my 20 years of doing this. The energy in that room, right, the connection, the fact that I got to actually stand there after the show and meet y'all and hear people, you know, talk about their connection to the show in real life, and it's not just numbers on a screen, right? Not just some comments section, not an algorithmic ranked feed. It just in person. It was amazing. We had people that were, you know, coming alone, making friends in line, couples making it a date night, people messaging us afterwards saying it was cathartic, it was fun, it was great. So I'm saying like it felt like a family gathering, but one you actually wanted to go to. The one thing that actually makes me more excited is that I get to do this with even more of y'all in 12 different cities at 12 different dates.

But with that said, there's a lot we've got to dive into today, starting with this. Donald Trump has now ordered the military to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran, they may once again be targeting U.S. troops, commercial ships, and other countries in the region. But also at the same time,

according to the White House, the war actually ended up. through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran, they may once again be targeting U.S. troops, commercial ships and other countries in the region.

But also at the same time, according to the White House, the war actually ended way back on April 8th. Or at least, that's what Trump told lawmakers on Friday to argue that he didn't need their permission to continue said war, despite it being the 60th day since he formally notified Congress of strikes against Iran, or which according to war powers resolution of 1973, is generally the longest American forces

can remain engaged in hostilities without congressional authorization. But again, Trump said that the conflict had been terminated since the ceasefire took effect on April 8th, even though his blockade of the Strait of Hermuz, which is an act of war under international law, remains in place. Now to mention the fact that just a few hours After he said that the US wasn't at war with Iran,

you had him saying to supporters in Florida,

you know, we're in a war because I Now to mention the fact that just a few hours after he said that the US wasn't at war with Iran, you had him saying to supporters in Florida,

You know, we're in a war because I think you would agree,

we cannot let lunatics have a nuclear weapon.

And so of course, you again, have many experts saying that the administration's legal argument,

it doesn't hold up.

And even actually, several Republicans are growing increasingly skeptical.

There also, many experts and lawmakers have argued that this war was illegal from the very beginning. And now, as it was then, there's nothing actually stopping Trump from doing what he wants, including setting the country's terms for a deal. Right, and with that, you had him writing on social media on Saturday that he would soon be reviewing a new proposal from Iran and adding, I can't imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to humanity and the world over the last 47 years.

And the proposal that he was reportedly looking at was a 14-point plan rehashing Iran's earlier demands, including by calling for the U.S. to withdraw its forces from near Iran's borders and its naval blockade of Iranian ports, except Iranian involvement in the management of the Strait of Hormuz, and include Lebanon in the ceasefire and any subsequent peace deal. And actually, on that last point, they reportedly demanded that a final agreement be reached within 30 days. But maybe most notably, according to Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, there were absolutely no details regarding the country's nuclear issues and the proposal. So on Sunday, you had Trump telling an Israeli media outlet that, as he predicted, the proposal wasn't acceptable to him, reportedly saying, the Iranians want to make a deal, but I'm not satisfied with what they've offered, saying there are things I can't agree to. Though you also had Iran's foreign ministries saying that it's reviewing a U.S. response to its proposal. And while the administration, they haven't confirmed that they've sent a response, By the way, it appears that a deal right now, it just kind of remains out of reach.

And in the meantime, there have been more attacks threatening the ceasefire.

Yesterday, for example, you had the first reported attacks on ships in or near the strait since April 22nd. You had a cargo ship claiming it had been attacked by multiple small boats, while another vessel said that had been hit by unknown projectiles. And then you had Trump announcing his latest effort to reopen the straight-of her moves on social media.

With Trump, presenting it as a humanitarian effort to be undertaken on behalf of the rest of the world, seemingly including nations that he's previously criticized for not doing something about the straight themselves. Right, he claimed that countries from all over the world, which he described as neutral and innocent bystanders that had done nothing wrong, had asked the U.S. for help, writing. But the good of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States,

we have told these countries that we will guide their ships safely

out of these restricted waterways so they can freely and ably
