JD Vance on Iran: ‘I Wouldn’t Call It a War'
Vice President J.D. Vance stated he would "not call it a war" regarding ongoing events in Iran, despite recent attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that there is no "active shooting" and that the situation is dependent on Iran ceasing attacks on shipping.
Vance's comments downplay the severity of the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, where U.S. troops are deployed and recent bombings occurred, raising questions about the administration's policy and its potential impact on international relations and energy markets.
The episode also covers the DOJ seeking Supreme Court action on mail-in ballots, Representative Jim McGovern discussing the cost of living and Russia sanctions, Sam Altman on OpenAI's AI model and safety, and Ukraine's Commissioner for Sanctions Policy pushing for a Russia sanctions bill.
