Bessent says the Strait will be irrelevant in two years. The “rebel” was a Rhodes Scholar product. And 55 years after Nixon killed Bretton Woods, its replacement is underway. Five posts inside.
Nixon called it “temporary.” 55 years later it’s still policy. Will Wertz reads the paper trail — the secret Kissinger memo, the Volcker Group, Britain’s run on Fort Knox — and the principles of the new Bretton Woods Trump’s Treasury says is underway.
Bessent forecasts the Strait of Hormuz will be “irrelevant” within two years — and at Chatham House, Lebanon’s adviser named Kissinger as the author of 50 years of war. Susan connects the sanctions, the pipelines, and the Board of Peace replacing the old imperial game.
🔴 REPLAY: America Turns 250 — The Court Reshapes the Presidency as Iran Holds
Today's show is over, but watch the replay and join us LIVE next Thursday. America turns 250 this weekend — and Barbara and Susan tie the milestone to the Court's blockbuster term and the real Iran strategy. Join us live.
Two and a half centuries ago, a handful of colonists declared that the people are sovereign — not the crown.
The Empire bet against that idea in 1776.
It’s still betting against it now. Barbara and Susan’s read: at 250, the republic isn’t fading — it’s being renewed, in the Supreme Court and around the world.
The Court just redrew the presidency.
A wave of blockbuster rulings landed this week — the President’s power to fire across the executive agencies affirmed, coordinated campaign spending blown wide open heading into the midterms, birthright citizenship upheld for now...
The establishment is melting down. Barbara cuts through the panic: which rulings are durable, which Congress could still cure, and what it all means for November.
And on Iran, the strategy the media keeps misreading.
The headlines want a White House at war with itself. The reality is a strategy that’s working — Trump using both Rubio and Vance, Bessent reminding everyone the U.S. still holds all the cards, and the “oil-sales panic” that falls apart the moment you ask who’s actually buying. Susan ties it to the bigger move: dismantling Kissinger’s forever-war doctrine.
Barbara and Susan connect it all in a few hours.
