Who’s in Control of the Strait of Hormuz and the Department of Justice? Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

The U.S. military is using more than 100 fighter and surveillance aircraft to carry out a partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. But even though it says it has turned around at least nine ships from Iranian ports so far, maritime data shows that at least three ships sailing from Iranian ports crossed the strait on Tuesday. NBC reporter Chantal Da Silva explains the confusion around who’s really in control of the waterway — and what impact that could have on peace negotiations, set to continue this week. Plus, we talk to NBC News Senior Legal Correspondent Laura Jarrett about her exclusive sit-down interview with acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and why he thinks the American public should be “happy” about President Donald Trump’s involvement in the Department of Justice.

After Vice President JD Vance walked away from 21 hours of negotiations in Islamabad without a deal, Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel analyzes the prospects for a peace deal. And Pope Leo XIV, the first American to head the Catholic Church, is clashing with President Trump, who has been lambasting the pope for his calls to end the war with Iran. Pope Leo said this morning he is “not afraid” of the Trump administration. NBC News International Correspondent Claudio Lavanga explains why Pope Leo XIV’s statements are a departure from his more neutral stance and how Catholics are reacting to Trump’s antagonism toward the pontiff.

Iran’s Bargaining Chips and The Cost of Sports Betting For Student Athletes Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

An F-15 fighter jet flying over Iran was apparently shot down by the country’s military – and, as this afternoon, one of the two pilots was still missing.

Plus, the American Gambling Association estimates that this year fans will legally bet more than $3 billion on the March Madness tournaments– a 54% increase over the past three years. And more bets can also mean more harassment for student athletes. The NCAA’s managing director of administrative services, Clint Hangebrauck, talks about the mental health challenges players face and what they are doing to ensure that the wagers don’t impact the integrity of student sports.
