Iran Insanity - Ep 26-318

Apparently we have entered a new phase of political journalism where the same people who spent months telling us Donald Trump was recklessly bombing Iran are now very concerned that Donald Trump doesn't have enough missiles to keep bombing Iran. Think about that for a minute. First, Trump is too aggressive. Then Trump is losing. Then Iran is winning. Then Iran is making demands. Then Iran is supposedly in control of the Strait of Hormuz. Then the Strait is barely moving any ships. Then Iran's economy is being strangled. And now, my personal favorite, Trump is "pivoting" back to economic pressure. Pivoting? No. There was no pivot. That's the absurdity. Trump has been using the American economy as a weapon from the beginning. I've been saying this since Trump's first term: the American economy is one of the most powerful weapons in our arsenal. Trump understands that. The Left doesn't. They think war is a television show. Bombs go up, bombs come down, and whoever has the most explosions wins. Trump understands leverage. You hit the military. You hit the money. You hit the oil. You hit the shipping. You hit the financial system. You squeeze the regime's ability to pay the people who keep the regime alive. And then you give them an opportunity to surrender, negotiate, or collapse. That's not a pivot. That's a vise. And now we're watching the Iranian regime discover something rather unpleasant. They can threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Fine. Ships don't want to get blown up. So they stop coming. Iran thinks it's demonstrating power. But who's losing the revenue? Iran. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
