In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Joe Kent to discuss the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz, drone warfare, Trump’s foreign policy, Ukraine, Russia, China, the U.S. dollar, AI, national debt, border security, civil liberties, and the future of the Republican Party. Joe explains why he believes the Iran conflict is not truly over, even if the word “ceasefire” keeps getting used. He argues that Iran still has leverage through the Strait of Hormuz, drones, missiles, and regional pressure, while America is stuck trying to find a way out without looking like it lost. The conversation also moves into how modern wars drag on, why drones have changed the battlefield, how defense contractors benefit from endless conflict, and why the United States keeps getting pulled into fights that do not serve ordinary Americans. Later, Sean and Joe discuss Ukraine, NATO expansion, Russia’s long game, China, the weakening dollar, AI-driven job loss, digital currency, surveillance, housing affordability, political money, third parties, and whether a broad populist coalition can still save the republic.
