The Strait Of Hormuz Is Closed and Are We On The Brink Of Revolution?
The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz went into effect today — and Iran just responded by threatening to close a second strait. Combined, that's 32% of the world's oil supply. Tom breaks down why this escalation was predictable, who actually benefits economically, and what happens to the rest of the world if it holds.
Then: are the attacks on business leaders and warehouse fires the beginning of something bigger? Tom traces the line from economic pressure to class uprising — and why the French Revolution is the wrong romantic fantasy for people cheering this on.
Plus, Tom and Drew go head to head on whether the left and right are both driving the economy off the same cliff in different directions. They don't agree. It gets real.
