Former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland joins Sid for her weekly appearance on the morning show to touch upon New York City “falling apart” due to poor state and city leadership, before she praises President Donald Trump for preempting Iran’s nuclear program despite advisers like Tulsi Gabbard, JD Vance, and Tucker Carlson opposing action. She argues Iran has long blackmailed the U.S. and Israel, cites Trump’s earlier killing of Soleimani, and says he spent years positioning “chess pieces” by weakening Iran economically, strengthening U.S. military posture, and increasing U.S. energy dominance through drilling, Venezuela, and Gulf Arab ties. The discussion covers Strait of Hormuz disruptions, Russia’s limited gains from higher oil prices, European worries about Ukraine, and claims China is a major loser. McFarland predicts a near-term military and political resolution leading to falling energy prices and improved U.S. growth, and says the U.S. may act soon on Cuba, with Marco Rubio reportedly talking to Raul Castro’s grandson about moving beyond communism.
