The Hormuz Crisis Ends: Diplomacy, Ceasefires, and a Turning Point?

from The Scott Jennings Podcast · host Salem Podcast Network

On today’s episode of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott broadcasts live from Louisville with breaking news that the Strait of Hormuz has reopened as U.S.-Iran diplomacy gains momentum, alongside a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and improving market conditions. He’s joined by Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer to assess whether the situation marks a true turning point, and Congressman Ben Cline to break down a high-stakes redistricting battle in Virginia and ongoing fights in Congress over DHS funding and surveillance policy. Scott also covers new immigration enforcement developments and reactions to cultural and political controversies, including a report from Christopher Rufo on California policies. In Hour 2, Scott discusses the 2026 midterm landscape with Jonathan Martin, calls out media narratives in his “Pain of the Week,” and wraps with Friday Punditry alongside Jason Rantz and a look at the week’s biggest political winners and losers.
