Strait and Narrow

Watch my interview with Senator Rand Paul on today’s episode of “Next Up...."

Mar 12, 2026

Michael LaRosa and Garrett Graves joined me on “2WAY Tonight” and with the 2WAY community for a strategic, big‑picture conversation about deepening fault lines within and between both parties, Donald Trump’s shifting rationale on Iran, and what these dynamics mean for markets and gas prices.

Watch today’s new episode of “The Group Chat”:

“NEXT UP”

The Iran conflict is edging into a precarious new phase, and without clearly defined objectives, it could spiral into another prolonged, costly Middle East engagement.

That’s the warning Senator Rand Paul shared on today’s “Next Up.”

We also delved into the economic ripple effects: the national debt, inflation, tariffs, and rising gas prices—and how all of it could shape the next election.

You’ll notice the senator was unusually measured discussing his relationship with Markwayne Mullin, whose confirmation hearings he will oversee next week.

In my reported monologue, I break down the mounting risks in the effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz—from drone and asymmetric threats to the growing sense of unease inside Washington about the conflict’s trajectory.
