Hour 2 [4/13/26]: Iran Naval Blockade Moves, Oil Spike Above $100, NATO Friction, Supreme Court TPS Case, and Sotomayor–Kavanaugh Clash

Hour 2 centers on escalating geopolitical tension as U.S. operations tied to the Strait of Hormuz move forward following failed negotiations with Iran, driving oil spikes, market volatility, and speculation about broader military coordination. Discussion expands into strained relations with NATO allies and shifting U.S. foreign policy expectations, alongside criticism of Democratic figures pushing diplomacy-first approaches to Iran. The hour also features legal analysis with Hans von Spakovsky on White House construction litigation, Supreme Court case timing, and judicial tensions, plus commentary on public clashes within the court involving Sonia Sotomayor and Brett Kavanaugh. The closing segment, “In Other News,” shifts sharply into viral and cultural stories ranging from celebrity rehab updates to bizarre accidents, Gen Z entertainment trends, and social media behavior, blending global instability with lighter pop culture moments.
