On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, WJNO’s Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. Columbus Day and the American Miracle. We still celebrate Columbus Day, right? It is a federal holiday by statute, after all. It’s OK to wish someone a Happy Columbus Day. Unless you’re a woke libtard influenced by secular pop culture, in which case you celebrate something called Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which is not a federal holiday. In fact, if it weren’t for Columbus, there’s a really good chance July 4th, 1776 wouldn’t have happened. According to AI, the odds of the American colonists beating the British to win independence and then becoming the world’s superpower were 0–0.001%. In the past 250 years, the average standard of living has increased exponentially. Increased wealth led to increased philanthropy, leading to advances in tech, science, medicine, and religion. Without the USA, could the Allies have won World War II? It’s very easy to overlook the probable fact that without Christopher Columbus, there would be no United States of America. Also, is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky OK with maintaining the status quo of war with Russia? Trump made a deal with Russian President Putin for diesel fuel, but the bigger news was he called on the Ukrainian people to elect a new leader who will make a deal to end the war. Trump holds all the cards: America provides 45% of Ukraine’s weapons, including the deep-strike weapons Ukraine has used to hit Russian refineries and drive up diesel prices. Trump has asked Zelenskyy to stop hitting Russian energy but to no avail. What is Zelensky’s motivation? He’s unpopular in Ukraine and would probably lose an election, but he’s suspended elections until he has 60 days of peace. As long as the war continues, Zelensky stays president. Suppose Trump withholds the 45% of Ukrainian weapons that America provides? Trump’s strategy behind his deal with Putin is not just lowering diesel prices, it’s putting maximum pressure on Zelensky to end the war. Finally, two things can be true at once. The Iran war did increase oil prices, but oil shipments out of the Strait of Hormuz have resumed at 74% of pre-war levels and are getting better. But refined products—like diesel—are still lagging behind. We’re winning the war in Iran. They are throwing the kitchen sink in a desperate attempt to disrupt the flow of oil out of the Strait because Iran is in dire economic trouble. They are almost out of oil to sell and almost out of money. To send weapons to terror proxies like the Houthis, they need money. Trump’s strategy of parallel paths to bring both wars—Iran and Russia/Ukraine—to an end is working. Learn more about your ad choices.
