Summary

Tonight, we’re breaking down Donald Trump seemingly “TACO-ing” on the Iran war, and the timing has people asking some very serious questions. After days of aggressive threats and escalating rhetoric toward Iran, the sudden shift in tone is raising eyebrows. Was this a strategic retreat… or something else entirely? Many are now wondering: was this all about the markets? With stocks swinging and economic uncertainty rising, did this escalation, and now de-escalation, conveniently move the financial needle? Friend of the show, Anthony "Mooch" Scaramucci joins us to break it all down. War threats. Market moves. And a narrative that keeps changing. This episode is sponsored by 120Life.
