Larry Johnson : US Watches as Houthis Choke Saudis
Summary
Judge Napolitano and Larry Johnson analyze the escalating geopolitical crises, including a Russian attack on a train carrying Boris Johnson and General Petraeus, and significant Iranian strikes on US air bases in Jordan. They discuss the Houthi capture of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which threatens global energy markets and exposes the fragility of the US-Saudi alliance. The conversation also addresses the rising cost of diesel, refuting Trump's claim that Ukraine is the cause, and predicts these economic pressures will harm his midterm prospects.
