1/20/26 - Addressing the Crisis in Iran and Its Global Implications


Listen Later

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, as time goes on, the urgency and immediacy for helping the Iranian people lessens in the public mind and among the decision-makers. Already, the media are losing interest. This is very worrisome. The revolution in Iran cannot succeed without the U.S. Also, it’s essential for U.S. national security to control Greenland. One idea would be to propose a 99-year lease of Greenland to the United States, granting military control, infrastructure development and access to Greenland's rare earth minerals in exchange for sharing benefits with Denmark and Greenlanders, with an automatic renewal option. This approach protects American interests logically and consistently. Later, the Wall Street Journal’s accidental admission reveals that tariffs are not merely taxes but tools of foreign policy and diplomacy. The Constitution assigns Congress the power of the purse while granting the President plenary power over foreign policy and national security. Tariffs often intertwine these areas, making judicial intervention impractical and unwise, as courts would end up deciding case-by-case whether a tariff is more about national security or taxation, leading to endless litigation.  The Supreme Court needs to reverse the lower court, avoid ruling on constitutionality at this stage, and allow Congress and the President to handle such matters through their respective powers rather than ceding decisions to judges. Afterward, in Lee Carter's opinion piece, President Trump's approval ratings do not indicate failure but instead demonstrate his successful delivery on campaign promises in a divided America. Rather than softening his approach like typical presidents, Trump has remained a consistent disruptor which has led to stable numbers with no significant erosion of his base. These ratings reflect identity-driven polarization sorting the country rather than persuading it. The legacy media fixates on the low headline numbers while refusing to recognize this stability as proof of Trump's authenticity and the nation's discomfort with unfiltered promise-keeping. In addition, Michael Doran, Director of the Middle East center at the Hudson Institute, urges Trump to seize billions of dollars in Iranian assets hidden in Dubai-based financial institutions. These shadow banks enable Iran to evade U.S. sanctions and fund its regime. Freezing or seizing these offshore accounts would deliver a powerful blow to Tehran comparable to a military strike, but with far lower risk and escalation potential, making it a preferable non-military pressure tactic. Finally, Peter Schweizer calls in to discuss his new book - The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.
