President Trump continues to say that Iran wants to make a deal to end the war and that the U.S. has control over the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the president downplayed concerns about the conditions aboard the USS Lincoln. MS NOW Senior National Security Reporter David Rohde and New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker join Stephanie Ruhle with more details and analysis.

When Republicans slink back out of office in 2029, we're going to see a tidal wave of "How did those soft weak loser Dems lose the Middle East?!" articles blasting into our brains about eight minutes into the swearing in. Get ready for a thousand different Bengazi-style hearings headed up by the most ghoulish neoconservatives in the US Senate, screaming their heads off at President Gavin Newsom and VP Pete Buttigieg for not nuking Tehran before their first day in office.

Absolute orgy of "American Defense is Weak! We need $10T to fix it!" and "American Liberals are weak! We need Trump 3rd Term to fix it!" bookending a cavalcade of deficit hawks insisting Social Security, Medicare, HUD, the VA, the EPA, and the DOJ are all bankrupt and need to be privatized ASAP.

He said "President Gavin Newsom," so not that optimistic.

Hell at this rate, if there's an office to get out of at all way out in 2029, I'd call that a win.

I'll take them with tears in my eyes. Unfortunately, this is not how the future will go down :(

Didn't the Trump admin just tell us a few days ago there were no supply shortages? That such reports were "fake news"?

America did better with a Department of Defense. This new Department of War isn't doing war very well.
