(00:00:00) U.S. Navy Intercepts Iranian Vessel (00:05:38) A Bailout for Spirit Airlines? (00:10:27) Betting on the future when you know the future Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombus Friday, and Craig and Jim start by noting the U.S. Navy’s success in capturing Iranian-flagged ships trying to run the blockade on Iran’s ports – while noting that the growing size of the “ghost fleet” in the past decade or so is a scandal.
