About this episode
The episode discusses the escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and Donald Trump's declining approval ratings amid the Iran war.
Tehran recloses the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S. prepares to seize Iranian tankers, escalating a high-stakes standoff with global economic consequences. New polling shows Donald Trump’s approval cratering—just 33% on the Iran war and 32% on the economy—as he clashes with his own energy secretary over gas prices.
