Summary

President Trump vows more hard attacks on Iran, escalating US‑Iran tensions that send oil prices higher and equity markets lower. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley argues Iran will never negotiate and pushes for targeting its oil revenues, while Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis predicts oil will drop quickly once the conflict ends. The show also covers sticky CPI data, Congressional fights over FISA renewal, and the political fallout from the South Carolina primaries.

  • Trump threatens additional strikes on Iran, intensifying the Middle East conflict.
  • Oil prices jump ~3% with WTI near $91 and Brent near $94, fueling a broader market selloff.
  • Nikki Haley says Iran will never make a nuclear deal, advocates hitting Kharg Island and sanctioning Russia/China.
  • Nicole Malliotakis expects oil prices to fall sharply after the war ends, citing higher US output, Venezuela ties, and Strait of Hormuz reopening.
  • Yearly CPI inflation hits a three‑year high of 4.2%, though Trump calls the number 'great'.
  • Congress faces a Friday deadline to extend FISA Section 702, with acting DNI Bill Pulte causing delays.
  • Trump‑backed candidates win in South Carolina, reinforcing his grip on the GOP; Haley says she is not running in 2028.

Escalation will keep oil prices high.
Iran will never agree to a nuclear deal and will continue stalling and rearming. The US must finish the war by going after Iran's finances, including seizing Kharg Island (the source of oil revenues) and tightening sanctions on Russia and China for their material support. This escalation will further disrupt Iranian oil supply and keep oil prices elevated.
