Walter sits down with Marine veteran, ham radio operator, and Middle East scholar Edward Jones for an urgent update on day 194 of the Iran conflict. From contacting Belarus via ham radio to escalating naval clashes in the strait, Jones breaks down IRGC ballistic missile strikes on US warships and the US retaliatory strikes sinking Iranian shadow tankers. Plus, a reality check on how $99.70 crude oil, $5.90 diesel, and soaring fertilizer costs are hitting local farmers, winter heating, and everyday kitchen-table budgets.
