01 01- Trump - the strait is open and the blockade has been 100 percent successful

📺 01- Trump (?)

Trump says the strait is open and a lot of boats are coming through, and that the press is not reporting it. He calls the naval blockade extremely effective — no boats have got into Iran — then hedges that it will either go extremely well and oil will "drop like a rock" or they carry on exactly as they are.

02 02- Adm Stavridis - it is a tale of two blockades months but not years

📺 02- Adm Stavridis (?)

The anchor lays in the evidence that economic pressure is working — the UAE has suspended all trade with Iran, and Iran's own foreign minister says the US blockade has driven shortages and price rises — and that CNN's sources say this, not the military campaign, is now the administration's focus.

Fox Business puts the reporting to a Marine colonel: Iran is losing control of the strait, CENTCOM has quietly guided 10 million barrels of oil a day down a lane hugging the Omani coast, more than 80% of the liquids transiting Hormuz in the past two weeks have taken it, that is about two-thirds of pre-war levels

An energy analyst explains that Iran is working to keep the risk high along the US-facilitated Omani lane that ships now use to hug the coast and leave the Gulf without entering Iranian waters — and that he does not expect Iran to give that mission up.

📺 CBS News (MSM)

CBS News senior national security correspondent Charlie Daggett, live: he can confirm the Axios stealth-convoy report from his own sources at Central Command and the Navy — the US military is escorting empty tankers in and loaded ones out, and has been repeatedly intercepting Iranian drones and missiles aimed at those ships. Trump's "the blockade has been 100 percent successful" is the setup. (CBS)

02 02- But nothing like the pre-war free flow and we never policed it

📺 CBS News (MSM)

Daggett takes the shine off his own scoop: the July campaign degraded Iran's targeting, satellite imagery shows an elephant walk of cargo ships in the south of the strait — but he will not stand up the tanker count, the blockade is still in place, this is nowhere near pre-war traffic, and the United States was never responsible for policing that waterway.

CNBC brings in RBC's head of global commodity strategy and asks whether this sanctions chapter is genuinely different, given decades of them.

04 02- Iran still has significant disruptive capabilities

Asked whether the newfound posture works, Croft says Iran is *still* firing on ships in the Strait. Yes, the US is escorting some ships down the Omani channel — but Iran retains the ability to fire missiles at ships and drone-strike infrastructure, and she points at Kuwait, where power plants and desalination facilities have been hit.

09 01- Reaching back into a statute nobody has used

Source

📺 YouTube (clip)

Hillman sets the pattern — Trump keeps reaching for old, never-used statutes. He did it with IEEPA, the Supreme Court struck that down, and the moment the ruling landed the administration went hunting through the statute book for anything else. What they dusted off for Canada was Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930.

10 02- Not mentioned since 1949 and never used to impose a tariff

Source

The host asks whether this is experimental — a first of its kind. Hillman confirms it, and goes further: this is part of Smoot-Hawley, the same 1930 act. It has rarely been invoked, has not been discussed since 1949, and has never been used to impose tariffs. Then why it went dormant — the whole point of it was solved by the GATT in 1947.

11 01- The Supreme Court took the tools so they went looking for new ones

Source

📺 YouTube (clip)

CNBC on the plumbing. The tariff agenda was knocked down by the Supreme Court, so the administration is forced to use other authorities. Section 338 is the new one for Canada; Section 301 is the bigger vehicle for rebuilding the rest — including a second investigation into "excess capacity" aimed at sixteen more economies.

12 02- It sounds enormous and it is five percent

The American whisky industry says it has already lost 73% of its exports to Canada and does not want the retaliation cycle. Then CNBC deflates the whole thing: a 50% tariff on the closest neighbour sounds dramatic, but it covers about 5% of what the US buys from Canada, and much of it can simply be sourced elsewhere.

CBC opens on the absurdity — the tariffs are taking a shot at something quintessentially Canadian. Then a man who actually makes the sticks.

The presenter marks the timing: twenty days before this, the Supreme Court had knocked out the legal basis for the reciprocal tariffs. Washington patched the hole with a flat 10% under Section 122, which broke the deals countries had already negotiated.

Eisen puts the $40 trillion debt to him as the fundamental that will win in the end. He says there is nothing magic about the number and the country can grow out of it, blames misinformation about the deficit, then lays out the case — tariff refunds are temporary, expensing factories is an investment, not spending

Liesman lays out exactly what Treasury did and why analysts are sceptical. Buybacks go from $2bn to at least $4bn an operation; it is paid for with *more short-term bills*, against the advice of Treasury's own borrowing committee; and the shorter the debt, the more the interest bill moves with the Fed.

05 02- Activist Treasury issuance and the man who named it is now on the Fed

Liesman puts a name on the practice — "activist Treasury issuance," coined in 2024 by Roubini and Stephen Miran to attack Yellen for exactly this.

Sy asks him to start from the basics — what does a rising yield actually mean. Lynch builds it from nothing: a bond is a loan, the yield is the interest, and if the yield is rising it means lenders are demanding more to lend to the government.
