Unscared Strait
Kevin, Larry, and I take on the biggest questions surrounding the conflict with Iran—starting with whether a U.S. blockade could actually deliver the peace and prosperity President Trump has promised, or if it risks pushing an already unpredictable Iran even further. We dig into what’s possible: Is there a real deal to be made with the current Iranian leadership? How long can the U.S. sustain a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz? What’s China’s role? And as pressure builds at home and abroad, what is Congress weighing as a war powers resolution heads to the Senate floor? Plus, Richard Coffin of USAFacts returns on Tax Day to break down the numbers and what they reveal about the state of the country. “THE MORNING MEETING” IS NOW ON SIRIUSXM “The Morning Meeting” is now available on The Megyn Kelly Channel on SiriusXM (ch. 111) — airing live Monday through Friday from 10–11am ET.

You can watch it on YouTube LIVE here. “NEXT UP” In the latest “Next Up,” I break down the growing uncertainty around Iran—why China could decide the outcome and how AI-driven information warfare is making the truth harder to track than ever. A Johns Hopkins Iranian-American professor joins me with a rare, firsthand look at how people inside Iran are actually responding. Then Marc Short and I dig into the political reality at home—why Republicans may be more vulnerable than they think, and why 2028 could already be tilting back toward Democrats.
