What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
An immediate blockade. I'm Carmen Roberts, Fox News. After peace talks failed with Iran this weekend, President Trump announced the U.S. Navy will form a blockade for the Strait of Hormuz, telling Fox News.
We're putting on a complete blockade.
What actions did President Trump announce regarding Iran?
We're not going to let Iran make money on selling oil to... People that they like and not people that they don't like or whatever it is. It's going to be all or none and that's the way it is.
Fox's Alex Hogan has more from the White House.
He added that other countries will be involved in the process and that U.S. forces will clean out the critical waterway. Trump says every ship should have safe passage or none would. It's extortion, and they're extorting the world. And taking it further on Truth Social, Trump writing, quote, any Iranian who fires at us or at peaceful vessels will be, quote, blown to hell. The president also warning that there could be future hostilities that take place in the wake of these peace talks.
And U.S. crude prices are surging this evening, now up more than 8% at 104, almost 105 a barrel. A strong ally of President Trump, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban lost a national election today.
Orban conceded defeat, saying the election result is clear, it's painful for us, and they congratulated the winning party. And that winning party is 45-year-old Peter Magyar of the center-right TISA party. Magyar campaigned on issues affecting ordinary voters from public health care, transportation, and what he described as rampant government corrupts it.
Fox's Stephanie Bennett in London and Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell is mounting pressure to drop out of the California gubernatorial race after sexual assault allegations.
Manhattan District Attorney's Office confirming to Fox News that they are investigating these allegations and they're asking any additional victims to come forward. Meanwhile, the political fallout continues with the congressman losing all his major endorsements. And the next post Friday night, Swalwell said these allegations of sexual assault are flat false. In all, four women have come forward with accusations of sexual misconduct.

Among the speakers, Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, who warned union members the country's so-called ruling class is set to automate the human workforce out of existence.
Many, many hundreds of billions of dollars into research, development, and implementation. What is their goal? Why are they spending hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars on AI and robotics?
And Mayor Mamdani's administration says it's putting money back into workers' pockets by recovering nearly $2 million in restitution from fashion brand theory, along with a Dunkin' and Taco Bell franchise owner. The Artemis II astronauts are spending their second full day back on Earth after their historic lunar mission. NASA gave them a huge hero's welcome yesterday at Johnson Space Center in Houston.
From the launch to getting to watch them up in space to that flawless splashdown, it really was incredible to watch this crew throughout the whole process. The world got to witness a historic mission. Commander Reed Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Cook, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen all embracing each other. And Commander Wiseman spoke about their extremely special relationship.
Victor, Christina, and Jeremy. We are bonded forever. And no one down here is ever going to know what the four of us just went through. And it was the most special thing that will ever happen in my life.
The crew traveling deeper into space than any other humans before. It was a record-breaking trip around the moon.
