Summary

Tonight, we break down where things stand in the Iran war crisis because right now, it’s anything but clear. The Strait of Hormuz was declared open again, but is this really accurate? And what is happening with the ceasefire? What’s the reality here? Is the war actually de-escalating, or are we just in a temporary pause before things heat up again?

Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Don Lemon Show. I know it's a little bit glitchy and it's a little bit delayed, so we're going to have to deal with it. Today it's just, I don't know what's going on with the internet. We tried to do our Facebook today. That wasn't working. All of a sudden, the internet is glitchy here. And so there's a lot going on on hopefully that you guys can hear us and it's clean make sure you hit the like and

So like and thumbs up, thank you for coming in. The legends are here, hello. We're gonna talk about all of it, but first a word from our sponsors. Support comes from Zbiotics. Now let's face it, after a night with drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. There was a time when you just accepted it. Great night, you know, rough morning. But I've changed all that. I first tried Zbiotics pre-alcohol before a night out. Nothing crazy, just dinner, a couple drinks, good conversation. And I took it before my first drink and didn't think much about it. Well, the next morning is when it hit me. I was up, clear, moving, no fog, no drag, no trying to piece the day together. So here's why. When you drink alcohol turns into this toxic byproduct in your gut is converted into that toxic byproduct, right in your gut, up not dehydration that's what leads to those rough mornings zbiotics produces an enzyme that

Okay, so hello, everyone, you can see from lovely Boston. We are in Boston because D.L. Hugley and I are tonight are performing. And so the folks in Boston get to see us. It is a, it's very busy because a marathon is on Monday. And so the airport was nuts. We were delayed and on and on and on the on the many people out here on the Wi-Fi because they're getting ready for the, and on the, you know, on the internet, interwebs, Wi-Fi system that everything is a little slow and a little glitchy. So very glitchy and slow. So sorry about that. I can't, there's nothing I can do about it, guys. I'm having trouble myself trying to figure out where I am with the show,

2:51.6

according to Iran at this moment and Donald Trump, a deal somewhat of a deal. As it relates to

3:09.9

the Strait of Harmuz being closed, the president is saying, well, that's behind him. We know

3:15.1

that he exaggerates a lot, so we'll see what is actually happening. Also, Tehran is saying

3:20.7
