Vance returned to the U.S. without a deal, and President Trump responded by announcing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz — which was then quickly narrowed by U.S. Central Command to only cover Iranian ports. Meanwhile, Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus healing a sick patient, deleted it after backlash, and then claimed it was actually him as a Red Cross doctor.

Show Notes
Megyn Kelly opens the show by discussing the lengthy but ultimately unsuccessful peace negotiations between VP JD Vance and the Iranians, Trump’s new proposal to conduct a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, new reporting that the blockade will actually be related to Iran's ports, Trump’s major criticism of Pope Leo XIV as soft on crime and doing a bad job after the pope criticized the war, the AI image he posted portraying himself as Jesus, the massive backlash it received even from his supporters, and more. Then Brandon Weichert, host of "NatSec Talk" on Rumble, joins to discuss what will happen next with Iran as tensions in the Strait of Hormuz escalate, the risk of military strikes resuming, whether VP JD Vance was set up to fail with the Iran peace negotiations, Netanyahu's comments about getting reports from Vance throughout the negotiations, Fox News discussing the benefits of censorship to stop certain "narratives" from changing how people think about issues, the accurate framing that Israel did help lead Trump and America into the war with Iran, and more. Then Megyn dives into the story of Rep. Eric Swalwell and the alleged misconduct with a former staffer, his California governor campaign being torpedoed in what appears to be a coordinated hit by the Democrat establishment and corporate media, questions about the former staffer's story in her CNN interview, the truth about the stories being told now by alleged victims now, the facts many in the media are ignoring, and more.
