Rep. Stefanik On Iran, 2026, Campus Antisemitism
A U.S. naval blockade is now in effect in the Strait of Hormuz after Vice President JD Vance’s negotiations with Iran ended in a stalemate. While President Trump expressed confidence that Iran will eventually commit to a nuclear-free future, saying “they will agree to it,” the military standoff continues. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) joins us to defend the strategic necessity of the move against mounting criticism. Plus, she provides an update on the DHS funding fight, and discusses her new book, Poisoned Ivies, reflecting on her 2023 congressional testimony regarding anti-Semitism on campus.
President Trump has told the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz with orders to intercept any ships paying a toll to Iran. Now, the high costs of oil are expected to trickle into other goods and services that are commonly used. Former Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette, now a co-chair at the Torridon Group in Washington D.C., joins the Rundown to discuss how the United States military actions abroad are impacting energy prices, and more, at home.
PLUS, commentary by Ted Jenkin, President of Exit Stage Left Advisors and Host of The Red, White & Green Show.
