'It does matter!' Dem analyst tangles with MAGA pundits in fiery panel on Trump's war

A Democratic influencer tangled with a pair of conservatives on "CNN News Night" over the ongoing war in Iran.Adam Mockler, a 23-year-old Meidas Touch podcaster, pushed back on criticism from the National Review's Noah Rothman after he suggested that younger Americans – who overwhelmingly oppose the war – simply don't appreciate the threat Iran has posed for nearly 50 years and suggested his comments were ungrateful toward U.S. service members."What was ungrateful about what I said?" Mockler said. "I said that the leaders are making us less safe and I can prove that right now Iran has control over the Strait of Hormuz, and that is a weapon they didn't have control of two months ago."Rothman chuckled and claimed Iran had shut down the strait in the 1980s, and Mockler – who last week triggered CNN's Scott Jennings into a profane, on-air outburst – tried to clarify whether shipping was disrupted as fully as the current situation, but MAGA pundit Hal Lambert barged in to interject. "You think you think gas prices are high right now?" said Lambert, founder of Point Bridge Capital. "Iran with a nuclear weapon, we'd have unlimitedly high gas prices. They would take control of the Strait of Hormuz, and they would blackmail the world.""And how much farther away are they from having a nuclear weapon?" Mockler responded. "Where is the enriched uranium right now? They're non-existent. Where is the enriched uranium?""We're going to get the enriched uranium," Lambert insisted, and Mockler called on him to identify its location. "It's buried right now.""But where is it buried?" Mockler asked."You're asking me?" Lambert said. "I'm not in the classified briefings, and neither are you. Let me finish, buried in Iran. Let me finish. Okay, okay, we are more safe than we were before we took out Iran's nuclear capabilities – absolutely more safe. The Strait of Hormuz is going to be open, and Iran's not going to control it. It is. That is absolutely going to happen. It doesn't matter if it's two weeks or two months.""It does actually matter," Mockler interrupted, "because economists are saying if it's closed for a few more months, then we're going to go into a recession. So it actually does matter." - YouTube youtu.be
