Welcome to Pod Save America. I'm Jon Favreau. I'm Jon Lovett. I'm Tommy Vitor. I'm back, guys. Welcome back. It's good to be back. We missed you. I missed you guys. And you were gone. I was gone. I was gone. You guys did a great job. Great job holding up the fort here. On today's show, Lindsey Graham is dead and Mitch McConnell is alive. We'll talk about Graham's legacy and McConnell's proof of life photo and how the absence of both men is affecting Republicans' agenda in Congress. We'll also get into Trump's latest war on the press after the White House and Kash Patel subpoenaed four New York Times journalists over their reporting on Qatari Force One and whether RFK Jr. has a lid on what's become an explosive outbreak of diarrhea.
That's not about your vacation. It's sort of more of a personal thing. Yeah, I was going to say. See if you can help me out. Then Love It talks to our pal Brian Tyler Cohen about his brand new book, The Day After, How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World. Fun to fantasize, I guess. Champagne problem. Okay, Brian. All right, but first, let's get to the top story this week. It appears as though the ceasefire with Iran fell apart last week while I was gone, and now we're back to full-scale war. RIP the MOU of Versailles. Trump officially notified Congress that military action has resumed. He also says he's reinstating the naval blockade of Iranian ports and that, quote, the USA will be, from this point forward...
known as the Guardian of the Hormuz Strait. Really rolls off the tongue. Guardian of the Hormuz Strait. That's what we've always wanted to be. USA was kind of boring. We wanted to call it the Guardian of the Hormuz Strait. Not the first time. An agreement signed at Versailles after a war ended poorly, hopefully not as badly as the last time. Good job, J.D. Vance. Good job. Yeah, really nailed it. We're also apparently going to start charging a 20 percent toll on all cargo that goes through the Strait, according to Trump, which seems like it's a violation of international law. That's according to Marco Rubio last month. Yeah. Ticketmaster's like, why so little? They're just trying to get their beaks wet.
