"I guarantee you two things. Before this has worked out, the strait will be open and probably policed by people around that region because it's in their best interest. And secondly, there are no friends in the world left for Iran. And what Trump has done, whether you like it or you don't, he's changed the axis of power there because at the end of the day, this is good for that region."
"We want to do business in growing jurisdictions. We want to sell stuff to people where their economies are growing. That's what we've done for two hundred years."
"Explain to me right now as we sit here, what's good for the American public. Explain to me right now, somebody who lives in South Carolina, Nebraska, Ohio, what is good right now for the American public going into a war where you do not understand that they're going to close the Strait of Hormuz."
During a CNN NewsNight panel discussion, Kevin O'Leary defended President Trump's military actions in Iran, arguing the conflict would achieve two outcomes: reopening the Strait of Hormuz through regional policing and isolating Iran diplomatically by eliminating its international allies. O'Leary contended the war would benefit the region's growth potential, which would ultimately expand U.S. business opportunities. Bakari Sellers challenged this reasoning, demanding O'Leary explain concrete, immediate benefits for American citizens in states like South Carolina, Nebraska, and Ohio. Sellers dismissed O'Leary's economic growth argument as meaningless, questioning how the war served ordinary Americans. The exchange highlighted disagreement over whether regional geopolitical shifts justify military intervention from a domestic perspective.
