But look, we got a great show.

We got a lot of major stories to cover today.

We are going to start with the latest on this now weeks-long protest, series of protests in Iran.

There are reports this week of a massacre of protesters by security forces.

And we'll also talk about what we know about Trump's deliberations about a possible U.S.

military response.

We're also going to talk about how the son of the former leader of Iran, who was deposed in 1979,

has reinserted himself into this conversation.

And whether he is welcome or not.

The Shah has entered the chat.

From, where is he, like Northern Virginia or the suburbs of DC somewhere?

Yeah, good question.

Then we're gonna update you on how regime change is going in Venezuela.

Trump has an upcoming meeting with Venezuelan opposition leader, Maria Machado, that could be awkward.

We'll find out, I guess.
