Summary

-The show declares Iran’s economy is collapsing so fast it’s now competing with Monopoly money for global relevance, while the U.S. casually runs a blockade like it’s a naval-themed reality show. -Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (Ret.) joins via the Newsmax hotline and lays out a cautiously optimistic path forward, explaining that the strategy against Iran is finally taking shape after years of delay. He emphasizes that securing global shipping lanes is critical, notes Europe—not the U.S.—may benefit most.
