About this episode

The episode discusses Donald Trump's reversal on the Strait of Hormuz and Thomas Massie's criticism of the Republican Party.

Donald Trump reportedly reversed course on reopening the Strait of Hormuz after fierce backlash from allies, as soaring jet-fuel prices spark new fears inside the administration about economic fallout from the Iran conflict. Meanwhile, Thomas Massie is openly battling what he calls the treachery of Trump’s Republican Party, AIPAC, and the “Epstein class.” Thanks to today's sponsors: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at shopify.com/tyt Get 40% OFF the Ground News Vantage Plan when you sign up at ground.news/tyt Stay informed without the media spin at ground.news/tyt Go to cookunity.com/tyt or enter code TYT before checkout to get 50% off your first order.
