The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

When you were on with Katty a few weeks ago, you talked a little bit about the divergence between Israel and the United States.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

And just address that now that you're looking at the tenets of the deal.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Where do you think the Israelis are on that deal and what's acceptable to them and not acceptable?

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Yeah, listen, I mean, I think the thing is way more complicated than even the press is reporting.

The Rest Is Politics: US

I also think that the president, because I know he likes to eat his young.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

I mean, that's basically what he does.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

He set Vance up to fail.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

And I just want to make the case for that.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

He knows Vance is not a fan of the war.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

So he's got to pin him and got to get him to adhere to the...

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

idea of the war, but he doesn't give Vance any proxy whatsoever.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Vance calls him no less than 10 times in 21 hours.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

That's a leash.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

That's not anything other than super control.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

Then Vance also speaks to Rubio, Hegseth, Besant, and Cooper during the talks.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

So he's trying to manage five different principles simultaneously.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

And so there's a structural problem there as well.

The Rest Is Politics: US
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz

And so to me, we'll get to the Pope in the second half of this show.
