- LARRY KUDLOW: Trump’s Iran Miracle
President Trump’s remarkable half-hour news gaggle covered so much ground and so knowledgeably. I doubt if there’s another president like it in my lifetime that could have done that.Mr. Trump’s message, as I heard it, is that the war in Iran is over. We have destroyed them militarily and the brilliant blockade strategy is destroying them economically and financially.Iran as a nuclear and terrorist power is over.All the critics have been proven wrong. Mr. Trump has been proven right. He is probably our greatest commander in chief since World War II, when FDR and Eisenhower and Marshall and Churchill defeated Nazi Germany.What we have here is a miracle.Actually, it’s an Easter–Passover miracle. Let us not forget our great Israeli ally, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.This is a remarkable personal triumph for Mr. Trump and his steadfast vision of peace in the Middle East and around the world.And it is also a remarkable triumph for Mr. Trump’s policies, especially the phenomenal execution of these policies by our mighty military. That Mr. Trump is able to bend the arc of history to his vision of peace and destroy Iran is remarkable.And yes, I believe in miracles. And I believe that the Iran victory was providential.Let’s come to the blockade, which is so important and will lead to the economic and financial collapse of Iran. A brilliant Trump decision. As Mr. Trump put it: "the blockade has been incredible. It’s held and they’re not doing any business. They’re unable to do any business because of the blockade. And so the combination of having no Navy, having no air force, having no anti-aircraft equipment, they have nothing. Everything is gone, including their leaders."He added that "the blockade is maybe more powerful than the bombing, if you want to know the truth."With no oil and no money, Iran has nothing left to stand on in any negotiation. And I hope the embargo continues for a while.Iran will have to shutter their oil fields, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps won’t even make payroll in another few days, the Rial currency is worthless, without trade there’s no foreign currencies to substitute and it’s the end game.That by the way is why stock markets are doing so well.General Jack Keane is right to say there must be no concessions to Iran, no lifelines, no help at all until they prove that their behavior is really changing. That will take a while.It… [TheTopNews] Read More.20 mins ago - What Heelys, the Sneakers With Wheels, Taught Me About Momentum as a Child

- PepsiCo revenues soar after slashing prices on Lay’s, Doritos amid ‘holi...Food and drink giant PepsiCo is seeing significant gains after lowering prices on its signature snacks and beverages earlier this year to lure back cost-conscious consumers.In February, the company slashed prices by up to 15% on its signature snacks, including Lay’s and Doritos, as Americans tightened their budgets amid persistently high costs.PepsiCo CEO Ramon Laguarta told FOX Business anchor Liz Claman Thursday the strategy helped consumers financially and helped drive the company’s first growth in more than a year."It was a holistic transformation of the business. Price was one element," he said on "The Claman Countdown". "We thought that consumers needed more value given the economic situations."DR MARC SIEGEL: RFK JR AND DAVID KESSLER ARE RIGHT TO TAKE ON BIG FOODPepsiCo recently reported revenue growth of 8.5% and a profit rise of 27% since slashing prices."We increased consumption volume by 2% in our food business in North America, units 4%, almost 300 million new occasions in this first quarter," Laguarta explained. "So, we're very pleased with the overall transformation of the business."Laguarta revealed the food and beverage giant is addressing new consumer standards as Americans lean towards less-processed foods and learn the risks associated with artificial ingredients like food dyes, commonly found in PepsiCo snacks.REESE'S HEIR CAN'T STOMACH FAMILY CANDY AS CONSUMERS ERUPT OVER RECIPE CHANGE: 'GROSS AND WAXY'The CEO said PepsiCo is "innovating" to meet evolving consumer preferences, cutting sugar in drinks like Gatorade, and removing artificial dyes from snacks like Cheetos."We're very optimistic about where we're going in that part of the business," he said.PepsiCo launched Cheetos Simply NKD late last year, offering consumers a color-free alternative to the popular snack. He said it maintains the same flavor without artificial additives and without increasing costs.YOUR FAVORITE FAST FOOD APP IS PLAYING MIND GAMES AND CHARGING YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGELaguarta said such innovation has been "well received" by consumers, pledging that PepsiCo will continue to expand those efforts."We're seeing moms with little children that they're saying, ‘Okay, now I can give my children my favorites, and I'm feeling good about it.’ So, this is a platform that now we're taking everywhere."Laguarta also addressed the "shrinkflation" as consumers grow frustrated with forking up more money for less product from food companies."We're pleased with the execution of our pricing strategy, the fact that we're giving consumers more value, especially in our multipacks and our multi-serve," he told FOX Business.
