7AM: Iran War Costs at Home, Strait of Hormuz Oil Shock, Clinton on Epstein Files (Hour 1)

Bailey and Dame stay on the Iran conflict from yesterday, starting with reports that the first U.S. casualties may be African American and what that echoes historically about who serves, who sacrifices, and who still fights for equity back home. They then break down the ripple effects Americans could feel fast, especially at the pump, with Dame explaining why the Strait of Hormuz is a pressure point for global oil flow and how instability there can spike prices. The hour closes with the Epstein files controversy, reacting to newly surfaced deposition footage where Hillary Clinton sharply questions whether the promised release was mishandled, walked back, or covered up, and points out the resistance she says came from multiple entities even as she and Bill Clinton showed up to answer questions.
