| 0:00.0 | Tonight, pressure bills to end the war in Iran. |
| 0:04.7 | The president will address the nation tomorrow night as he belittles our allies and searches |
| 0:09.5 | for a way out of the five-week conflict. |
| 0:12.7 | Plus, gas prices top $4 a gallon, as one economist warns we may not be that far from an oil |
| 0:19.5 | shock that triggers a recession. |
| 0:21.6 | And the Supreme Court prepares to weigh in on the administration's plan to end |
