The US agreed to a 60-day oil sanctions waiver — the first in 40 years — potentially worth $10 billion to Iran, before Iran confirmed a single nuclear weapons inspector entry. Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor note that under the JCPOA, no sanctions relief came until Iran acted first.

Jon Favreau opens with a recap of a chaotic week in the Iran negotiations: the ceasefire briefly collapsed, Iran announced it closed the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump threatened to take over the strait entirely. JD Vance cited three points of progress — keeping the strait open, a Hezbollah deconfliction mechanism, and Iran agreeing to nuclear inspectors — but the Iranians haven't confirmed any of it. Meanwhile, the US handed over a 60-day oil sanctions waiver potentially worth $10 billion, the first such waiver in roughly four decades [1] — Jon Favreau "60-day Iran sanctions waiver: The US agreed to waive sanctions on Iranian oil for 60 days — the first time in roughly 4 decades — before Ir…" 08:26 . Tommy Vietor is particularly skeptical: Iran has more time and expertise in negotiations, Trump has given up his leverage, and the threat of military action is gone. Jon Lovett puts the situation bluntly — Iran looks like it forced concessions without firing a shot. The segment ends with a sharp fact-check of JD Vance's Ross Douthat interview, where Vance falsely claimed the current deal is better than the JCPOA on uranium. Tommy corrects the record: under the JCPOA, Iran shipped 97% of its uranium to Russia; the current deal would merely down-blend it and keep it inside Iran [2] — Tommy Vietor "97% uranium shipped out under JCPOA: Under the Obama-era JCPOA, Iran shipped out 97% of its uranium stockpile to Russia for disposal — the …" 10:25 .
Economist Steve Rattner estimated the 60-day oil sanctions waiver could bring Iran up to $10 billion in relief.
The US agreed to waive sanctions on Iranian oil for 60 days — the first time in roughly 4 decades — before Iran confirmed any nuclear inspections.
JD Vance told Ross Douthat that unlike Obama's deal, the new arrangement removes Iran's enriched uranium. That's flatly false. Under the JCPOA, Iran shipped 97% of its stockpile to Russia. The current deal would merely down-blend it and keep it inside Iran.
Under the Obama-era JCPOA, Iran shipped out 97% of its uranium stockpile to Russia for disposal — the opposite of what JD Vance claimed.
Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
