7am: In an interview with NBC News, President Trump claimed that Iran was ready to negotiate a ceasefire but rejected their offer because "the terms aren't good enough." But Trump has declined to say what those terms would be. This comes as the president has called on allies to help re-open the Strait of Hormuz. White House Correspondent for NOTUS, Jasmine Wright, and senior economics reporter for Axios, Courtenay Brown, join "The Weekend" to discuss.
8am: A recent NBC poll shows that the war has not fractured the MAGA base all that much, with 90% of MAGA-aligned republicans approving of the strikes on Iran. However, some prominent MAGA and conservative media figures are among those crying foul the loudest over the war. When it comes to republicans who don't align with MAGA that number falls to 54 % in support of the attacks on Iran. David Drucker and Adam Serwer join The Weekend to discuss why some elected officials in the G.O.P are getting increasingly nervous about the iran war's impact on their election prospects in November. Makena Kelly also joins The Weekend to discuss the whistleblower report revealing how social security data may have been taken by a former doge employee to his new job.
9am: This weekend, the U.S. has intensified airstrikes on Iran's most important oil export terminal, Karg Island. Investors warn that additional action could plunge global oil markets into further chaos as the island exports roughly 90 percent of Iran's crude oil. U.S. Amos Hochstein, former United States Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources under President Biden, joins "The Weekend" to discuss.
