Iran Crisis Sends Jet Fuel Prices Soaring
About this episode
The episode discusses the DNC's 2024 election autopsy, the impact of rising jet fuel prices due to the Iran crisis, a hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship, and a tribute to Ted Turner.
(00:00:00) DNC 2024 Autopsy (00:05:44) Jet Fuel Prices Impact on Economy (00:12:10) Hantavirus Cruise (00:19:02) Remembering Ted Turner Craig Collins is in for Greg Corombus today, and Craig and Jim wonder why the Democratic National Committee still refuses to release its heavily-researched "autopsy" of the 2024 election and what it means that Kamala Harris is now saying the DNC should release it. Then they lament the higher price of jet fuel, the warnings from the airline industry to the Trump administration about the economic fallout from the war against Iran and closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and the forecast that higher air travel costs will last until autumn. In the crazy martini, Jim and Craig note the captain of that cruise ship with a hantavirus outbreak initially told passengers that there was nothing contagious on the ship. And finally, they say farewell to Ted Turner, a unique figure on the modern media landscape.
