Mike discusses the impact of a U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, pointing to reports that it’s successfully cutting off Iran’s oil flow and forcing pressure on the regime. He highlights how even critics are acknowledging the strategy’s effectiveness, suggesting it could push Iran toward negotiations. Mike also connects that foreign policy success to economic momentum at home, including a surging stock market and increased tax refunds for Americans. Throughout, he argues that these developments are being largely ignored or downplayed by the media. He frames it as a pattern of selective coverage that avoids giving credit where it’s due.
