Trump says no deal with Iran, JD Vance says Tehran rejected U.S. terms, and now the U.S. is moving toward a blockade tied to the Strait of Hormuz. Nate breaks down what was said, what it could mean for oil markets, and why the "we're in control now" spin does not erase the costs.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, Nate walks through the 21-hour Iran negotiations, Trump's latest comments, the ceasefire timeline, and the logic behind the new blockade posture. He also explains why higher energy prices still hurt normal people even if U.S. producers benefit.

Then the show pivots to the politics and optics: Trump's attacks on Pope Leo, the AI-generated Jesus image, and how culture-war outrage can pull attention away from war, inflation, and executive power.
