'It does matter!' Dem analyst tangles with MAGA pundits in fiery panel on Trump's war

A Democratic influencer tangled with a pair of conservatives on "CNN News Night" over the ongoing war in Iran.

Adam Mockler, a 23-year-old Meidas Touch podcaster, pushed back on criticism from the National Review's Noah Rothman after he suggested that younger Americans – who overwhelmingly oppose the war – simply don't appreciate the threat Iran has posed for nearly 50 years and suggested his comments were ungrateful toward U.S. service members.

"What was ungrateful about what I said?" Mockler said. "I said that the leaders are making us less safe and I can prove that right now Iran has control over the Strait of Hormuz, and that is a weapon they didn't have control of two months ago."

Rothman chuckled and claimed Iran had shut down the strait in the 1980s, and Mockler – who last week triggered CNN's Scott Jennings into a profane, on-air outburst – tried to clarify whether shipping was disrupted as fully as the current situation, but MAGA pundit Hal Lambert barged in to interject.
