The Strait of Hormuz Chaos Comes to the Pump

Episode Description from the Publisher

Adam and Dick record on backup equipment at Plan B Studios and cover a lot of ground. The episode opens with the Project Taurus town hall, where supporters and a bipartisan group of opponents spoke and City Council voted to delay its decision until a week after the next election instead of adopting a moratorium. Adam, who spoke at the meeting, and Dick, who has built data centers, dig into the military and classified-data sales pitch, the noise claims, and the push for an April moratorium ballot measure. From there: Rep. Thomas Massey's articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and whether Speaker Johnson sent the House home to avoid them, Mitch McConnell's return to the Senate, Libertarian Party yard signs and why the movement struggles to function as a party, and the Hormuz watch, covering diesel over $6 a gallon, fuel shortages abroad, reports of damage to U.S. bases, and Vice President Vance's back channel calls with generals. Next week's episode is live on Sunday afternoon, starting around 4:55.
