Summary
The Adam Mockler Show reports on escalating Middle East tensions, claiming Houthi rebels have seized the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and captured US military equipment.

The episode also criticizes Pete Hegseth’s remarks at the 9/11 memorial and highlights the human cost of the conflict, predicting the war will persist through upcoming elections due to Iranian strategy.
