Who could Donald Trump run the Strait of Hormuz with? Max Foster's weekly news quiz

[0:02] Welcome to What Do You Know, where you answer the questions on the week's biggest stories, [0:06] but you're up against two titans of journalism, so good luck to you. [0:11] Harry Enten, CNN's Duke of Data, Larry Madowo, our globe-trotting correspondent. [0:16] It is when Harry met Larry. [0:18] Yay! [0:19] Finally. [0:20] But it doesn't really work because you've already met, I know. [0:22] This is the low-budget version. [0:25] We're going to start with the war in Iran. [0:27] Fill in the missing word from this CNN headline. [0:29] Trump says U.S. and blank would jointly control Strait of Hormuz. [0:36] Is it Iran, the United Nations, NATO, or China? [0:40] Who does he want to jointly run it with? [0:43] I'm going to say it's either Iran or NATO in my mind. [0:50] There was all this talk of NATO going on that I've heard recently. [0:55] I'm going to say NATO, but it's probably Iran and I'm an idiot. [0:58] I can see where you're going there because he asked NATO members to get involved. [1:01] Larry, what would you say? [1:03] I would say that NATO is definitely a good guess. [1:07] Maybe even China. [1:08] Trump has been trying to get these other nations that depend on the Strait of Hormuz to get involved unsuccessfully. [1:13] But I know for sure it is Iran because he said he and the Ayatollah would run. [1:18] Come on, Harry. [1:19] It was right there. [1:21] Keep up, Harry. [1:21] Keep up. [1:22] The answer is indeed Iran. [1:24] He said he'll run it along with whoever is the next Ayatollah. [1:28] Larry, we're going to stay with Iran for you because we want you to fill in the missing word. [1:32] From this headline, [1:33] The concert fair that's on offer in Qatar is so wide that any of them could be possible. [1:50] Let me say Shakira because, you know, her hips don't lie. [1:53] I'm going to agree with Larry. [1:54] I'm going to agree with Larry. [1:55] The answer is indeed Shakira. [1:57] So you did both get it right. [1:58] Yes. [1:59] Awesome. [2:00] She was supposed to play in Doha. [2:02] On April the 1st, her festival appearance in Abu Dhabi also canceled. [2:07] She was meant to be appearing there with Jonas Brothers. [2:09] It's been postponed. [2:10] Look, this is a far-ranging war that has had massive economic impacts. [2:15] Harry, let's go to your video round now. [2:17] Lines more than four hours long at some airports around the U.S. this week as TSA workers go without pay. [2:24] Amid this chaos, who did Delta suspend some speciality services for? [2:31] Is it members of Congress? [2:32] Flight crews, diplomats, or frequent flyers? [2:36] I think a lot of us are angry here in the United States about our members of Congress. [2:41] Obviously, Democrats are upset with Republicans. [2:43] Republicans are upset with Democrats. [2:45] So these are all good answers. [2:46] But the truth is, we want to take it out on our members of Congress. [2:49] And the answer is A. [2:52] The answer was indeed members of Congress, because I learned that Delta offers them services like airport escorts. [2:58] They get full red coat, red carpet services. [3:01] Now they'll have to be treated like anything else. [3:02] Yes. [3:02] They'll have to be treated like any other passengers. [3:04] How are they going to cope with that, Harry? [3:05] Oh, it's so terrible. [3:06] Larry, let's go to your video round. [3:08] BTS returned to the United States for the first time in four years. [3:12] But who was the sponsor of their event in New York? [3:15] Samsung, Spotify, Netflix, or Hublot? [3:20] Oh, I love BTS. [3:23] I'm a member of the BTS Army, so I should know this, [3:26] especially since we missed them when they were doing their military service in Korea. [3:30] I'm tied between Netflix and Samsung. [3:32] So let me go with Netflix. [3:36] Okay, Harry, what do you reckon? [3:37] Go back to their roots. [3:38] So the question is, what are their roots? [3:40] See, the problem is, is I'm not a member of any army, not the BTS Army. [3:45] I guess if Barry Manilow had an army, I'd be a part of that. [3:48] I guess not Fanilow. [3:52] Your age is showing. [3:53] My age is showing. [3:54] My ancient age is the white hair and my beard continues to grow. [3:58] I did know they were Korean. [3:59] I did know that. [4:00] So then it would be a Korean company. [4:03] Is that what you're trying to say? [4:04] Is that what you're trying to tell me here? [4:05] I've given you too much. [4:06] I'm not giving you any more. [4:07] So then I'll say Samsung and go the opposite of Larry. [4:10] Well, you know, maybe it was deceptive. [4:13] Maybe I was trying to put you off. [4:14] Maybe I had tactics. [4:16] The answer is Spotify. [4:17] I was kind of thinking their roots is music, but maybe it didn't work. [4:21] Songs from their new album are top of Spotify's global chart, surprisingly. [4:25] They've had really mixed reviews, but it didn't seem to make an effect on sales. [4:30] Let's go to your picture app, then. [4:32] You got the first look at the new [4:34] Harry Potter series from HBO, part of our parent company, of course, Warner Brothers. [4:38] But who has signed on to compose the score? [4:42] Is it Trent Reznor? [4:43] Is it Ludwig Jorinsson, John Williams or Hans Zimmer? [4:48] Oh, God. [4:49] Are you a Harry Potter fan? [4:50] Are you the Harry Potter Army? [4:52] No. [4:53] I'm a Harry Potter fan. [4:54] I have some merchandise. [4:56] I try to do Harry Potter charms like Lumos for light. [5:01] I'm very childish. [5:02] I want to say [5:04] Hans Zimmer only because every single piece of work from Hans Zimmer, [5:10] every soundtrack is like it elevates the movie experience. [5:15] So for a new Harry Potter, I think this seems to be the only natural fit. [5:19] And it's a big budget movie, and they could probably afford Hans Zimmer. [5:22] And you are correct. [5:23] Answer D. The show itself is set to launch next year. [5:26] It's going to be massive. [5:28] Harry, let's go for your stats round. [5:30] I mean, surely you've got an advantage. [5:32] All right. This is your chance to shine. [5:34] Oh, you're bringing me back, Larry, you're bringing me back. [5:38] A trader on Polymarket drew scrutiny for some extremely accurate bets on when the US would strike Iran. [5:45] What was his overall win rate? [5:48] Was it 63%, 73%, 83%, or was it 93% that he got right? [5:55] You know, the worst part of this is I do follow the prediction markets, [5:58] and I know I thought you were going to ask me the dollar amount. [6:01] I'm going to say 93% because it's the bigger number. [6:04] But it could easily be 83. [6:06] Larry? [6:07] I am not silly enough to try and challenge Harry on this. [6:11] I saw the story. I don't remember the exact number. [6:13] But I know people have been paying attention to a lot of these kind of trades on Kalshi and Polymarket. [6:19] So I want to go with what he said, 93%. [6:21] Well, you shouldn't have done because it was 83%. [6:23] You should have gone for the other one. [6:24] The other one. I knew it. [6:27] Oh, my God. [6:28] So when it came to bets involving five-figure sums, he was even more accurate, actually, coming in at 93%. [6:34] So partly right. [6:35] Oh, what is that? [6:38] I just want you to, you know, not have too much of an advantage over the viewers. [6:42] Larry, we're going to go to your stats round. [6:44] Kim Jong-un's party was declared the winner of recent elections in North Korea. [6:49] How much of the vote did they reportedly win? [6:52] Was it 91%, was it 98%, was it 99.9%, or was it 100%? [7:00] I know it's probably not 100%, but I also should say that I have come [7:04] from a country that has covered elections in Africa, where the president of Tanzania won with 98%, [7:09] President Kagame of Rwanda won with 99%, believe it or not. [7:13] So these are not unusual numbers, even though... [7:15] I guess the 100 makes it too obvious. [7:16] The 100 makes it too obvious. [7:18] And I guess people of statistics, like Harry, might say it's statistically impossible to win an election with 98%, 99%. [7:25] So having said all that, knowing North Korea, I want to say 98%. [7:31] What are you going for, Harry? Stats time. [7:33] It was 99.93%, I believe. [7:34] 99.93%. [7:34] 99.93%. [7:35] Which is, I went even a decimal point further, so it's 99.9%. [7:41] You could possibly get a bonus point for that, but we don't want to set any sort of precedent. [7:44] But the exact number. [7:47] 99.9%, it's not a secret ballot in North Korea, and not voting for the party-approved candidate can be quite dangerous. [7:54] Observers say the minority that didn't vote for Kim is likely just symbolic. [7:57] I mean, it does raise the question, doesn't it, Larry? [8:00] Who didn't vote for him if he didn't win all the votes? [8:03] And that is the question, though. [8:04] Not just in the... [8:05] Not just in this, but other elections, Harry. [8:07] Is it possible to have an election where you win 99 point whatever percent? [8:11] What about the number of spoiled votes? [8:13] What about any number of variables? [8:15] Look, there's never going to be an election, I think, where 100% of the people support X candidate. [8:21] Now, there may be a situation where they're the only one who's made the ballot, [8:25] and therefore, you know, they get 100% of the votes that were actually cast that can be counted, right? [8:31] But they'll be spoiled ballots. [8:32] Even, you know, like George Washington, right? [8:35] You know, had no real opponents, [8:36] and he's the only guy ever to go undefeated in a presidential election. [8:40] But even then, not that I have a time machine, [8:42] you go back, you know, to 1792 or 1789, [8:46] I'm sure there were people who were like, [8:48] eh, you know what, I'm not quite sure that GW is the guy for me. [8:52] Guys, thank you so much. [8:53] Thanks for being game. [8:54] That is What Do You Know? [8:56] Did you do better than our top two correspondents here today? [8:59] I'm sure you did. [9:01] If you didn't, try again next time. [9:03] Thanks for watching.
