177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of Trump's blockade of Iran and its potential impact on US-China relations and Catholic voters.
Does Trump’s blockade of Iran actually make sense? Does this move put China and the US on a direct collision course? And, how will Catholic voters react to Trump’s attack on the Pope? Anthony Scaramucci is joined by veteran diplomat and President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, Richard Haass, as they answer all these questions and more.
