It's Monday, March 16th. I'm Jane Koston, and this is one today. The show that says,

When your war in Iran has lost former Trump national security advisor and bombing Iran enthusiast John Bolton,

you're having a bad time. Last week, Bolton, who suggested bombing Iran in 2015, tweeted,

quote, I favor regime change in Iran, but I'm deeply worried that inadequate preparation will prevent that goal from being achieved.

There seem to be holes in the strategy, from the lack of coordination with the opposition

to the elapsed in preparing the American people ahead of the attack.

Again, when you've lost John Bolton, well...

On today's show, the department tasked with keeping Americans safe at home is still shut down, even as war rages on in the Middle East.

And the Federal Communications Commission will just not let us be. But let's start with

oil. The war in Iran, a war of choice with no ending in sight, has essentially closed the Strait of

Hormuz, the world's most important oil transfer point. Because of that, oil prices are now over

$100 a barrel and threatening to go even higher. But when NBC's meet the press host, Kristen Welker,

asked if Americans should be worried on Sunday, energy secretary Chris Wright, did not exactly have an

answer prepared. Should they be worried that this war will actually drive the price of oil

above $200 a barrel? So Iran for 47 years has called the United States the great Satan.

So because they call us the great Satan, I don't think we are the great Satan.

In fact, clearly we're not.

So I don't listen much to Iranian projections of what's going to happen.

So that's a no?

Is that a no?

Is that a no?

Very important waterway.
