Iran threatens oil choke as US targets banks; Gabbard files referrals over impeachment whistleblower

About this episode

The episode discusses Iran's threats to global oil supply, the resurgence of impeachment talks, and a lawsuit against Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

President Donald Trump claims the war is “close to over,” but Iran says it can still choke off global oil. Threats now stretch well beyond Hormuz, putting multiple shipping lanes at risk. Plus, impeachment talk is back — and expanding. Democrats are now targeting more than just Trump as pressure builds on multiple fronts. And Ticketmaster and Live Nation take a major hit in court. A jury finds they overcharged fans, with penalties now up to a judge. These stories and more highlight your Unbiased Updates for Thursday, April 16, 2026.
