Who REALLY Owns the Strait of Hormuz? + Is Pete Hegseth Making a Move for 2028? - Aug 18 Hr 2
Podcast: The Joe Pags ShowPublished On: Wed Aug 19 2026
Description: Pags tackles the question at the center of the Iran conflict: Who actually owns the Strait of Hormuz—and can ANY country claim control over one of the most important waterways on Earth? Then the 2028 conversation heats up. Who should Republicans nominate after Trump, why is Pete Hegseth suddenly making waves, and could President Trump seriously pursue a third term? Pags wants to know who YOU want at the top of the ticket. He also digs into rising gas prices and why drivers who rely on certain types of fuel are getting hit even harder. Then NewsNation's Robert Sherman joins Pags LIVE from Doha, Qatar, with an on-the-ground look at the Strait of Hormuz. Does Iran have any legitimate claim to the entire waterway? Is it actually open or closed right now? How does this confrontation end? And what are the Iranian and Persian people themselves saying as the pressure builds? Sherman cuts through the competing claims and breaks down what's really happening in the region. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
