In this episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum
opens with his thoughts on the strange lack of information about
the current war in Iran. He wonders why, despite the publicized
tactical success of the United States’ campaign in Iran, the war
seems to be progressing in an unfavorable way for the U.S. Then
David is joined by his colleague at The Atlantic Graeme Wood to
discuss Graeme’s recent reporting from the Persian Gulf. David and
Graeme talk about Graeme’s experiences being bombed in Dubai and
snorkeling in the Strait of Hormuz. They also discuss what happens
next in Iran, Trump’s failure in political messaging on the war,
and the state of the global energy market. David concludes with a
discussion of Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense,” which was published
250 years ago this year. Sign up for David Frum’s newsletter
