The Rest Is Politics: US · 222. The Man Who Just Stood Between Trump and Economic Chaos · 17 Sep 2026 podcast

We'll put it in our newsletter this week. voice-verified

But it's a really good piece that lays out the different scenarios for the direction that the U.S. voice-verified

economy is heading in. voice-verified

And if somebody tells you that they know which direction the economy is heading in, they don't because there are multiple scenarios, most of which revolve around uncertainty. voice-verified

Okay, we're going to take a break and come back and talk about the Houthis. voice-verified

They took down a British passenger jet containing 350 people. voice-verified

The voice-verified

Men like Duffy, they are our most valuable weapons. voice-verified

Welcome back to The Rest is Politics US, where, Anthony, we have always maintained that the problem with starting wars is that you do not know where they are going to go geographically, politically, economically. voice-verified

And I think we have had proof of that in the last few days. voice-verified

in the Middle East where a war that was started against Iran, a war of choice, it should be said, by the White House against the Iranians has now expanded effectively to another front with the Houthis in Yemen attacking the Saudis and the Saudi oil infrastructure and the Americans voice-verified

ending up saying to the Houthis, who have long been seen as a proxy for the Iranians, they're not the Iranians, but they have been seen as a proxy for the Iranians, they have Iranian backing in Yemen, and the Americans basically saying to them at a meeting in the US embassy in Muscat, Oman, we are not going to retaliate against you. voice-verified

They could have put in brackets, voice-verified

because we are overstretched in the Strait of Hormuz and we've already taken on the Iranians and that is enough. voice-verified

We have enough on our plate and we are spending millions on interceptors as the Iranians strike our bases in places like Jordan in the last few days. voice-verified

And the message to America's longtime ally and a very good friend of the president and a very good friend of the president's children voice-verified

Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, when he went and he called Donald Trump and said, please, will you retaliate against the Houthis with strikes? voice-verified

Reportedly, the message to Mohammed bin Salman was, no, we'll give you intelligence, but we are overstretched and you will have to deal with this one by yourself. voice-verified

So, voice-verified

We're in an extraordinary situation, I think, in the Middle East where this conflict has expanded beyond ways that Donald Trump probably imagined when he launched those strikes back in February. voice-verified
