00:01Trump threatened to destroy Iran's bridges and power plants and expressed interest in seizing Iranian oil and opening the Strait
00:08of Hormuz.
00:09Fighting has already caused significant damage, including the destruction of a bridge near Tehran, a downed U.S. fighter jet,
00:16and disruptions to energy infrastructure across the region.
00:20Iran has shut down tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz in response to U.S. and Israeli attacks that
00:25began in late February.
00:28The U.S. has added 178,000 jobs in March, roughly three times what economists expected,
00:35rebounding from a loss of 133,000 jobs in February, while the unemployment rate dipped to 4.3 percent.
00:42Health care led the gains, accounting for over half of new jobs, partly boosted by the return of striking Kaiser
00:48Permanente workers.
00:49Economists caution the data is largely backward-looking and may not yet reflect the economic drag from the Iran war
00:57and rising energy prices.
01:00Trump has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, reportedly due to frustration over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and
01:08the DOJ's failure to prosecute several of his political enemies.
01:11Meanwhile, Deputy AG Todd Blanch will serve as Acting Attorney General, while EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is being considered as
01:20a permanent replacement.
01:21Bondi is just the second high-profile firing since the recent removal of DHS Secretary Christine Holm, a stark contrast
01:29from the numerous dismissals in Trump's first term.
01:32United Airlines is introducing cheaper base Polaris business class fares that include lie-flat seats and lounge access, but with
01:40restrictions like no seat selection, only one checked bag and no ticket changes.
01:45The airline is essentially applying the same tiered pricing structure it uses in economy, from basic to flexible, to its
01:52premium cabins.
01:53The move reflects the airline's broader push to capture more revenue from travelers willing to pay for comfort, but not
02:00full-price luxury, with Delta also reportedly considering a similar approach.
