8-12-26 Morning Rush - IRAN WAR ESCALATES: Houthis Strike Saudi Ship as Democrats & Talarico SURGE In New Polling

from The Rush Hour With Dave Neal · host Dave Neal

The Iran war takes another dangerous turn as the Houthis reportedly attack a Saudi Arabian ship, raising new fears about the security of one of the world's most important energy corridors. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is painting a rosy picture of oil flowing out of the region—but the numbers may tell a very different story. We break down what's actually happening with oil shipments, why the situation remains so fragile, and what it could mean for Americans at the pump. Plus, new polling is flashing warning signs for Republicans as Democrats continue to surge. Is the political tide turning even faster than expected? We dig into the latest numbers, what's driving the shift, and what it could mean heading into the midterms. All that and more on the morning edition of The Rush Hour Podcast.
