About this episode

Amber May discusses the escalating conflict with Iran and the implications of diplomatic failures with guest Jared Knott.

The conflict with Iran is growing more dangerous. American service members have been killed. Commercial ships are under attack in the Strait of Hormuz. Gas prices have climbed above $4 a gallon. President Trump has vowed that Iran will pay heavily for every American life lost. Amber May breaks down the latest developments, including Trump’s visit to Dover Air Force Base, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s warning that Iran has destroyed a key shipping agreement, and the growing risk of a wider war. International bestselling author and decorated Vietnam veteran Jared Knott joins the show to explain how small diplomatic failures, misunderstood orders, and bad assumptions have changed history. Could one more mistake turn this conflict into a global disaster? Also on today’s show, federal investigators examine a China-linked nonprofit funding network, a CCP-connected California facility comes under scrutiny near U.S. military bases, more than 1,000 schools close as America’s youth population shrinks, AOC promotes the politics of the future in Michigan, and JD and Usha Vance welcome a historic vice presidential baby.https://www.tinyblundersbigdisasters.com/ Join Me On…
