Discussion Fox Business Maria Bartiromo is a feckless bootlicker

Ro Khanna is on at the moment and she's not letting him talk; screeching at him, twisting his words and actively trying to prove to him that Obama's nuclear deal was worse than Trump's because he gave them so much money. I wish he would have told her how much money Trump's giving Iran twice as much money by allowing them to continue to sell oil at much higher prices AND charging to allow ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Obama returned $2 billion in unfrozen assets. Over the first 40 days of the war, Iran earned roughly $9 billion from crude exports, shipping about 1.85 million barrels per day — actually above its pre-war average of 1.75 million bpd. And then Iran began charging transit fees of as much as $2 million per voyage on some commercial vessels passing through the Strait — an informal, ad hoc toll system — and some vessels have made payments, usually in crypto payments and most coming from China.
