Special Guest: George Fontes

from The Chris Michaels Show Hosted by Chris Michaels

Chris Michaels sits down with George Fontes, host of World Ablaze , for a no-BS, unfiltered deep dive into the hottest geopolitical flashpoint right now: Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.With George’s own nephew deployed as a Marine in the Strait of Hormuz (3/1 Marines), the conversation gets real fast. Trump’s “two-step” (threatening to turn the place into glass one minute, then calming the markets the next) isn’t chaos. It’s calculated strategy designed to keep everyone off balance while leveraging intel most of us never see.George breaks it down: the Islamic regime (in power since 1979) has delivered zero peace to the Middle East. Now financially choked, its proxies (Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah) have suddenly gone quiet. Proof in the pudding. The U.S. isn’t just there for Israel; it’s protecting American interests with deep historical roots (UK oil disputes, Operation Ajax, the Iraq-Iran War). Plus: why the Iranian people themselves are good people who never asked for this regime, what escaped families and intel contacts are really saying, and why mainstream media and podfluencers only give you surface-level emotional spin.
