Today at 8 p.m. ET is President Trump’s deadline for Iran to reach a deal or face massive strikes on its power plants, bridges, and more. Trump has warned that “the entire country can be taken out in one night,” and Iran has reportedly shut down talks with mediating countries as the clock ticks down. Mark breaks down the remarkable rescue of both crew members of an F-15E Strike Eagle that was shot down over Iran, a complex, multi-day operation involving hundreds of special forces troops and dozens of aircraft. May 21st is the final night of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Beginning May 22nd, CBS will hand over the 11:35 p.m. time slot to Byron Allen’s comedy series Comics Unleashed.

Show notes

Over the weekend, the U.S. military successfully rescued both crew members of an F-15E Strike Eagle that was shot down over Iran. Mark breaks down how the dramatic rescue operation unfolded. While the airman was hiding in the mountains of Iran, the IRGC offered a $60,000 reward for any Iranian who could locate the crew member. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth fired Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, along with two other generals, in a significant shakeup at the Pentagon amid the ongoing war with Iran. Savannah Guthrie returned to the TODAY show anchor desk this morning for the first time since her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing from her Arizona home on February 1. Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. The discussion turns to President Trump’s recent social media posts directed at Iran, including a comment about Muslims, and whether the media holds Trump to the same standard it held President Biden. Michael argues that Trump’s willingness to go after the press is a key reason why the double standard exists. Michael also weighs in on NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani as he approaches his first 100 days in office, with the city’s budget crisis front and center. President Trump is holding a press conference today on the state of the Iran war. A Tuesday deadline looms: Trump has threatened to strike Iranian energy plants and bridges if a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not reached. Iran has vowed to retaliate hard if the U.S. follows through on those strikes. SNL’s Weekend Update sparked major backlash after host Michael Che made a joke widely interpreted as a reference to the assassination of President Trump, drawing outrage from across the political spectrum. Bruce Springsteen made headlines after delivering a sharply political speech at his Minneapolis concert, calling the Trump administration “corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous.” Trump fired back on Truth Social, calling Springsteen a “total loser” and urging MAGA supporters to boycott his concerts. Meanwhile, NASA’s Artemis II mission has been dealing with a recurring toilet malfunction aboard the Orion spacecraft, and a frozen vent line has prevented the crew from properly flushing urine overboard. However, the issue has been resolved.
