Video taking off 14x its usual first day

A third aircraft carrier and Gen. Keane's 'huge opportunity': Fox Business on Iran

Jack Keane, Keith Kellogg and KT McFarland share a half-hour reel on the pressure campaign against Iran, which passed 200,000 views in its first fourteen hours.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 276,154 views a day, 14 times a normal first day on this channel (19,582).

Fox Business took six Iran segments from its programs and joined them into one reel, about half an hour long, under a title borrowed from retired Gen. Jack Keane: there is still a "huge opportunity" here. Fourteen hours after going up, it had passed 210,000 views. A new upload on the channel usually ends its whole first day near 20,000.

The chapters run as a sequence of views from the same side of the table. KT McFarland, deputy national security adviser in the first months of Trump's first term, opens by saying Iran has overplayed its hand at every stage. Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg follows with the argument that Iran is on the ropes economically. Keane, the former vice chief of staff of the Army, appears twice, first on how determined Tehran is and then on the opportunity of the title. Another former Trump adviser says the United States may have to keep "a boot" on Iran's windpipe, and the reel closes on the news that a third aircraft carrier and more troops are headed to the Middle East.

A good share of the busiest comments is not about Iran at all but about timing. Several viewers question whether the clips are new, and one of the most liked asks why Keane segments from March are running now.

The Iran reel was not Fox Business's only strong start on Sunday. A "Big Money Show" segment on California's proposed billionaire tax, and the warning of wealthy residents leaving the state, also ran several times ahead of a usual first day, on a channel that more often lives on markets and the Fed.
