Mike Pence On Iran Strikes & The ‘America First’ Agenda

Operation Epic Fury continues as the Trump administration vows to dismantle Iran’s military infrastructure and end the regime’s decades-long threat. However, critics are questioning the timing of the strikes and whether the President has a clear exit strategy. Former Vice President Mike Pence joins us to discuss why he supports the decision to strike, what the U.S. objectives should be, and how this operation aligns with the “America First” agenda.

President Trump is highlighting recent economic gains to ease concerns about the complicated picture emerging for U.S. workers and global markets. Anthony Chan, Global Chief Economist for Chan Economics, joins the Rundown to explain why he remains optimistic despite a sluggish jobs report, rising geopolitical tensions, and the rapid shift toward artificial intelligence. He also weighs in on the economic fallout of the conflict with Iran–and why the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global trade artery, could be the single greatest threat to gas prices.
