Trump Brags About Peace in Iran, Announces Lift of Strait of Hormuz Blockade


This monologue and segment from Late Night with Seth Meyers (aired June 15, 2026) covers recent news, primarily focusing on the New York Knicks winning the NBA Finals and Donald Trump's 80th birthday activities at the White House.

Key Highlights:

  • Knicks Victory: Seth celebrates the New York Knicks defeating the San Antonio Spurs for their first championship in 53 years (0:07-0:27). He captures the celebratory atmosphere in New York City, describing it as a mix of Mardi Gras, Coachella, and a rave (4:40-5:20).
  • Trump's Birthday & Presidency: Seth critiques Donald Trump’s 80th birthday celebration, which featured a UFC event on the White House lawn (0:56-1:10, 10:50-12:37). He notes the public's low support for this event (11:57-12:20).
  • The Iran Peace Deal: Seth discusses Trump's announcement of a peace deal with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz (1:14-1:32, 14:48-15:20). He mocks the deal for essentially returning the situation to its pre-war state, suggesting it was a "playbook" move to solve a crisis he initiated (15:20-17:45).
  • Kennedy Center Controversy: Seth highlights the removal of Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center following a judicial order, noting the public's amusement and the irony of Trump attempting a "cover-up" with a tarp (8:34-10:28).
  • Other News: Brief mentions include Trump legalizing commercial fishing in protected areas (1:50-2:46), a record-breaking juggling act in Idaho (3:14-3:28), and Trump’s plan for a July 4th fireworks show (1:34-1:50).
