The show kicks off with genuine excitement: Ben is nursing a Knicks championship hangover, and both hosts gush about Jalen Brunson — a 33rd overall pick who scored 45 points in the clincher and took $100 million less to play with his friends. Ben plugs his book 'All We Say' (now a New York Times bestseller) and lists upcoming tour stops in Houston, Chicago, and St. Louis. Tommy then previews the full episode: the leaked Iran deal terms, the Bibi Netanyahu wildcard in Lebanon, Democratic messaging on diplomacy, the Makerfield by-election and Andy Burnham's potential challenge to Keir Starmer, Europe's far-right surge, the withdrawal of Bill Pulte's DNI nomination, the devastating consequences of USAID's dismantling, World Cup highlights, and the closing interview with CNN's Frederik Pleitgen fresh from Iran.
