I mean, it is not going to be hard for the Iranians to close the Strait of Hormuz.
the very small channel of water that a lot of global oil goes through.
If the Iranians close it, and all they had to do to close it is start firing a few missiles or a few bullets literally at ships, and no one's going to put their sailors through it, no one's going to insure those kinds of ships, except for black market pirates, frankly.
that could spike the price of crude to, let's say, $80, $90 a barrel.
So 1.5x, 2x.
Americans aren't going to like that.
Americans aren't going to understand why we're doing this.
Moreover, I think that there's a sort of canard or leitmotif
that basically Trump's support is durable.
I agree with that.
I think if we do this war with Iran and we are calling people at Easter, say early April, and they ask, do you support the president?
If you call the median listener to War Room and you ask them, do you support the president?
Do you support the administration?
They're going to say yes, right?
But there's a lot of ruin in the level of support.
There's such a thing as motivation.
There's such a thing as demotivation.
And it's one thing to prefer this administration over a Democratic one.
It's one thing to prefer Donald Trump over most Republicans or any Republican.
I do, certainly.
