Man, I think I might have come in too hot.

John Stewart, we got a great one for you tonight.

Later on, I'm going to be joined by the mayor of San Jose, California, Matt.

He is one of the over 400 candidates currently running for governor of California in the Democratic primary.

But first, as you're well aware, a terrible war has been raging for two weeks now.

But as of last night, it is clear that opera and ballet have defeated Timothee Chalamera.

A knockout even before they brought out prima ballerina Misty Copeland in the middle of the sinners performance right in front of him.

So opera, ballet, Can't wait to switch out my Ukrainian flag profile picture for the playbill to Deflater Mouse.

I like how we put in parentheses there the bat.

As though that's not common knowledge amongst the people, by the way.

Also another conflict with a less certain outcome.

Let's get into it right now with our ongoing coverage.

As many of you know, war is God's way of teaching Americans geography.

Of course Gen Z will tell you no, Hormuz is 100% straight, but

it's a passageway choke point for 20% of the world's oil.

Not to be confused with the strategic Iranian island of Kharg, which we also attacked.

We attacked Kharg and Hormuz because if we've learned anything from these past 20 years, it's that America will bomb anywhere that has a scrabble score above 12.

And you guys, you're not going to believe what Iran did after we attacked them.

The Supreme Leader said that the Strait of Hormuz, which is a critical shipping lane for nearly 2 20% of the world's crude oil, will remain closed.

Is this because of the incessant bombing?

We're going to play the one card we have to stop you from collapsing all of our infrastructure.

Gas prices up, diesel prices up, jet fuel prices up.

And in some quarters you're beginning to hear whispers of concerns over the R word recession.

How dare Iran and their existential fight for existence inconvenience our commute?

Oh, this whole thing is the R word, all right.

That's not the R word I would use for the decision to attack Iran.

But Iran has now closed the Strait of Hormuz, leading to surging gas prices and risking the global economy.

Of course, there was no way to know that that was going to happen.

General Dan Kane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned President Trump that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump acknowledged the risk, but told his team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the street.

Gee, who would have thought that a guy who did this during a solar eclipse.

By the way, my favorite part of that goes, he looks up at a solar eclipse three times.

This sudden bottleneck of the world's oil supply, it's not a big deal.

The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping.

It is open for transit should Iran not do that.

Other than Epstein, it's a wonderful island.

So right now, the ships cannot make the passage because they're being attacked, and

There were some mines that have been laid.

It's going to take a lot of foresight and planning to thread this needle, come up with a strategic plan.

I also asked the President about the rise in oil prices, $100 a barrel.

These ships got to go through the Strait of Hormuz and show some guts.

Show some guts, Captains Philip, I know you may not want to sail the slowest moving vehicle on Earth, packed with the most flammable liquid on Earth, through the most active war zone on Earth.

You know, maybe there's an easier solution to the myriad difficulties that have arisen from a hasty war of choice that seems light on plans for the inevitable unforeseen consequences and contingencies.

The Trump administration is threatening to go after US TV networks for their coverage of the war with Iran.

Do this war better, or make sure that the news networks only tell you that we are doing this war better.

I know which one FCC Chairman Brendan Carr prefers?

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr posted this on X quote, broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions, also known as the fake news, have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.

You better not lie and give misinformation about how this war is going.

Did the United States bomb a girl's elementary school?
