President Trump gives a fresh update on the Iran conflict as tensions spike around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most critical waterways in the world. Joe Pags cuts through the confusing headlines and explains what’s really happening—and why it’s so hard to know the truth with all the misinformation flying around. Here’s the big deal: the Strait of Hormuz carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply, making it one of the most important energy chokepoints on Earth. If shipping through the strait slows or stops, global energy markets—and gas prices—can spike almost immediately. Pags walks through what the administration is saying, what Iran is threatening, and why the media coverage has been all over the place. Is the strait actually closed? Is it just disruption? And what happens next if this standoff continues? It’s a clear, no-nonsense breakdown of one of the biggest global stories right now.

There's much talk about censuring unruly democrats, who disrupted the sotu speech. That's great, I supported, but there should be more done than that. those Representatives should be removed from Congress immediately. they should have been escorted from the chamber. censorship may have other impacts but by itself it's very weak. Democrats who refuse to support American citizens should be removed from all committees.
Ellison is a disgrace. he always has been. he should be in jail. What Senators need to do is joined together, perhaps two or three. share your combined 15 minutes so you can play the entire tape without interruption. then give each senator 2 for 3 minutes minutes for questioning and making statements.
hey Joe. I have been a listener for years. I was saddened when they took you off 1200, but was saddened when I heard you on 550. I especially enjoy your interviews. I would like to share a crazy dream I had a few nights ago. I dreamt that Elon placed a call to Barack wanting to know the name of the person who helped with his Hawaiian birth certificate. Elon said that he might run for president too. I f you use this, please let me know. DJT is the greatest president in my lifetime. Keep it up.
