Ralph speaks with Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff for Colin Powell, about the fall of the American Empire and self-proclaimed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. Then we welcome the CEO and co-founder of the Canadian-based organization Corporate Knights, Toby Heap, to break down Trump's unprecedented trade war with our closest ally. Plus, Ralph has some choice words for Hakeem Jeffries and his meeting with Jared Kushner and for Hillary Clinton and her take on the war with Iran.Lawrence Wilkerson is a retired U.S. Army colonel. Over his 31 years of service, Colonel Wilkerson served as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff from 2002 to 2005, and Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989 to 1993. Colonel Wilkerson also served as Deputy Director and Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia, and for fifteen years he was the Distinguished Visiting Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William and Mary. He is currently a Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, senior advisor to the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and co-founder of the All-Volunteer Force Forum.Two-thirds of the world now thinks that we are an enemy of their state. Two-thirds of the world. And it happens to be the two-third that has the greatest amount of the GDP in the world.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonI've lived for 81 years, almost 82, and I've watched my country go to hell right in front of my face… And the billionaires who want all of this to happen, they do not want a democracy. A democracy is fallible. A democracy can't beat China. A democracy can't beat Russia. A democracy can't even beat Iran. They want a technocracy that is run by them, armed by them, technical revolution by them. They want all of this, and oh by the way they want to live to 150 while they're doing it too.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonEvery freaking hour they create a series of war crimes in Iran. Every freaking hour they perpetrate war crimes in the Persian Gulf. Every freaking hour they perpetrate war crimes in Lebanon with Israel. “What's new?,” I want to say. We are a criminal state. There is no other way to describe it. We are a criminal state. We pay no attention whatsoever to domestic or international law. Only when it benefits the person who is doing the deed do we pay any attention at all.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonToby Heaps is the CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights, and Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights magazine. He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.”What we're seeing is a sort of political physics—for every action is an equal and opposite reaction. Canada has in many ways benefited and rallied around our nationhood. We're often not the most boisterous or loudest type of folks. But this continued disrespect for our statehood and the continued attacks and the unreasonableness and the unfair play, our prime minister said something to the effect of: when the United States signs something, it's in pencil. It's really denigrating the United States' reputation globally and in Canadians' minds.Toby HeapsNews 8/28/26* This week, the left-wing insurgency in the Democratic Party scored several new victories. First, NBC reports that in Oklahoma, N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Markwayne Mullin, who Trump selected to lead the Department of Homeland Security following the resignation of Secretary Kristi Noem. Thomas will go up against Republican Congressman Kevin Hern in November. Unfortunately, Thomas stands little chance of winning the state, which has not elected a Democratic Senator since 1990. Thomas is a member of the Chickasaw Nation and identifies as a Democratic Socialist, but is “not yet” a member of DSA.* Next, in California, Democracy Now! reports progressive state lawmaker Aisha Wahab has prevailed in the special election to fill the seat vacated by disgraced former Congressman Eric Swalwell. This piece notes that Wahab “overcame a flood of attack ads from pro-Israel groups,” which sought to bolster her Democratic primary rival, Melissa Hernandez. In an interview, Wahab said that she “appreciates” voters in her district for “seeing through” the “lies that were spread by AIPAC.” Wahab will make history as the first Afghan American in Congress and has called for the United States to engage with the Taliban government and attempt to “[steer] them in the right direction” on human rights.* In Georgia, the Hill reports another progressive – Everton Blair – won the special election to fill the seat of Congressman David Scott, who passed away in April during his 12th term in the seat. Blair, the former chair of the Gwinnett County School Board, defeated Scott's daughter Marcye Scott. However, Blair will only represent this seat until the end of the year. Beginning in January, State Rep. Jasmine Clark, who won the May primary, will fill the seat for the 120th Congress.* Meanwhile, in the Cornhusker State, the Nebraska Examiner reports that the “Legal Marijuana NOW U.S. Senate candidate Mike Marvin announced he can't put more ‘energy' into the Senate race because of health issues and endorsed nonpartisan U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn.” Marvin will remain on the ballot, but is “urging all who supported [him] to now support…Osborn.” This piece notes that this announcement comes on heels of reporting by Flatwater Free Press showing that two staffers from Osborn's 2024 independent Senate campaign joined the Legal Marijuana NOW executive board and sought to dissolve the party from the inside. This, combined with the fact that former Democratic Senate nominee Cindy Burbank paid Mike Marvin's $1,740 candidate filing fee and dropped out of the race one day after the secretary of state verified Osborn's signatures to be on the fall ballot has fueled speculation that these were coordinated efforts to clear the field for Osborn. Marvin for his part disputes this and says he never planned to leave the race. Osborn is quoted saying “We hope to earn the support of the LMN voters and hope that we can represent their concerns well in the US Senate.”* In more third party news, Trump has launched new broadsides against the emerging ex-MAGA clique – consisting of Tucker Carlson, Congressman Thomas Massie, and former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. According to the Hill, Trump attacked the group, said to be exploring the possibility of founding a new right-wing party, calling Carlson “a loser,” Greene “a highly neurotic woman” and Massie a “real JERK” on Truth Social. The president added, “What a team this would be, THREE LOSERS, and a pocketful of change!...The only chance they have is to join the Radical Left Dumocrats, and try breaking into the Primary System. To all of them I say, PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!” The proximate cause of this latest flare-up between the camps is Trump's decision to allow in 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to be imported in the next 90 days, a move Massie called “worse than socialism.” Greene, who has been perhaps the most vocal defector from the MAGA camp, said “He attacks us with such vitriol because we actually are everything he claimed to be…he has proven as President that he is nothing more than a neocon puppet for Israel, corporations, big donors with special interests, and his dear friends in the Epstein class…We never changed, Trump did.”* Another story from this side of the aisle comes to us from NOTUS, which reports that an “unknown actor” has stolen over $16,000 from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). This incident, alternatively characterized as a “theft” from a “foreign country” or simply a “fraud,” occurred in early July, when the NRCC “attempted to pay a bill from Ranger Wi-Fi Consulting, a Texas-based firm that specializes in helping clients ‘optimize their wireless networks while ensuring healthy security measures are in place.'” Seeking to assuage the fears of donors, NRCC spokesman Will Kiley told the press that “Protecting donor funds is a top priority for the NRCC,” and vowed that the committee is “working to recover the funds, and…taken steps to ensure it can't happen again.” Listeners might remember that in July, the DNC admitted that they had fallen prey to a scammer, losing almost $30,000 in the process. It would seem that these committees do not have functional safeguards against such schemes.* Our final stories this week all deal with the Middle East. First up, Axios reports that while AIPAC was gearing up for a major ad blitz in Michigan against Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed and on behalf of Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers, those plans have apparently been iced at the behest of the Rogers campaign. According to this story, Rogers believes that AIPAC spending in the Democratic primary – over $30 million on behalf of El-Syed's rival Haley Stevens – actually helped boost El-Sayed's candidacy, making his opposition to AIPAC a “centerpiece of his…campaign, using the group's spending against him to portray Democratic opponent Haley Stevens as beholden to the pro-Israel lobby.” Rogers fears the same fate, so he has sought to keep his distance from AIPAC while his allies are urging AIPAC to “get involved without putting the group's name front and center.” However, Rogers' attempts to put some daylight between his campaign and AIPAC has resulted in the latter turning cold towards the Republican candidate. Republicans now worry that AIPAC will “sit out the general election entirely.” As for the perception of AIPAC in Michigan, a recent poll found that “55% of Michigan voters oppose continued U.S. aid to Israel.”* On the other end of the Michigan political spectrum, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding that he “ensure the immediateand permanent release of U.S. citizen Sama Safi, a 20-year-old university student with a severe complex chronic health condition, who the Israeli military has arbitrarily and wrongfully detained since June 2nd.” This letter goes on to describe how “armed Israeli soldiers raided her family's home in the occupied West Bank in the middle of the night and tore her from her family,” and that since then, she has “suffered under appalling conditions in Israeli military detention including “frequent physical assault, shackling, and the throwing of gas and stun grenades into already overcrowded and poorly ventilated cells,” among other horrors. 40 more members of Congress signed this letter, including six senators, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey and Chris Van Hollen among them. 85 civic groups also signed onto this demand, ranging from faith-based groups to human rights organizations and beyond.* In the region itself, a broad coalition of Muslim states – including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and, perhaps most notably, the United Arab Emirates – have issued a categorical condemnation of Israel's new “E1” settlement plan. This plan relates to new settlement activities east of occupied East Jerusalem and the signatories decry the plan as constituting “a dangerous escalation that further advances settlement expansion and annexation and undermines the geographical contiguity of the Occupied Palestinian Territory…thereby threatening the viability and realization of an independent, contiguous Palestinian State based on the 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.” The UAE was the most significant state in the region to sign onto the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords in 2020, which sought to normalize relations between Israel and its neighbors at the expense of the Palestinians. Saudi Arabia was said to be on the verge of signing the accords prior to October 7th and Israel's subsequent genocidal military campaign in Gaza. The UAE taking a new stand against Israel on behalf of the Palestinian cause is widely seen as the final death knell of the Abraham Accords and the beginning of a new era of relations in the Middle East.* Finally, the Economist reports that a group of seven top officials within the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is consolidating power in Iran. The man rumored to be leading this junta is Mohsen Rezaei, the new national-security adviser, former presidential candidate and the longest-serving chief of the IRGC, having led the corps though the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s. Others include the head of the navy, currently overseeing Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the IRGC's commander-in-chief and founder of the Quds Force. Notably absent from this group is Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic. This piece judiciously avoids making any definite predictions about whether this new clique will rule as hardliners or pragmatists, but emphasizes that the late Ali Khamenei expertly “balanced the competing interests of his realm” while these military men favor action.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

In this episode of Right On Radio host Jeff welcomes author Tim Cohen (author of The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea) for a wide‑ranging, fast‑paced conversation connecting current events, biblical prophecy, and occult symbolism. The show opens with a sponsor message for EMP Shield and moves into a sustained examination of the asteroid Apophis (99942 Apophis), its mythological name Apep/Rahab, and why its April 2029 close pass—though physically harmless—carries deep prophetic and symbolic resonance. Tim explains the astronomical facts about Apophis (roughly 1,200 feet in diameter and not expected to impact Earth), then traces how the name and myth of Apep/Rahab link to Revelation's imagery, the fourth seal, darkness, and the motif of death and resurrection. He argues the object's timing lines up with key prophetic markers and could function as a visible sign during the Tribulation timeline. The conversation lays out Tim's case that the seven‑year Tribulation period may have begun in October 2025, tying that start to events including Trump's reception of multiple Stephanos (victor's crowns), the 20‑point peace plan (Daniel 9:27), and calendar‑correction calculations that place the end midpoint near Yom Kippur in 2032. Tim covers the first two seals (white and fiery red horses), the coming of the two witnesses, the timing of the midpoint abomination that causes desolation, and how these pieces create a coherent timeline if one accepts his starting point. The episode focuses heavily on the thesis that King Charles III is the prophetic first beast/Antichrist: decoding his heraldic achievement, the symbolic chain and little horn imagery, the mortal wound and miraculous recovery described in Revelation 13, and the existence of an idol/statue allegedly ready for the Temple Mount. Jeff and Tim also connect cultural and diplomatic moves (the Abraham Accords, Kushner/Blair/Charles influence, and symbolic ceremonies such as the presentation of crowns and sword dances) to the broader prophetic narrative. Geopolitically, Tim outlines how North Korea, Iran, Turkey, Qatar, Egypt and Pakistan could factor into the outbreak of global conflict, associating the fiery red horse with a leader who removes peace and is given a great sword. He suggests World War III could be triggered in the window between the second week of October and mid‑June next year, with North Korea a likely flashpoint and the Ottoman/Turkish axis reappearing in the sixth year of the Tribulation timeline. Tim also discusses his Solar Apocalypse research and controversial claims about space imagery, fossils on the moon and asteroids, secret space programs, and the manipulation of public narratives by agencies like NASA. He frames these phenomena as part of a larger spiritual and counterfeit program—what he calls fake alien/biotech manipulation tied to fallen angels—while promising further evidence in forthcoming publications and video series. Practical notes and resources: Tim points listeners to ProphecyHouse.com for his books and media (the site's checkout issue has reportedly been fixed), his YouTube channel (youtube.com/authortimcohen) and Facebook page. He recommends the second edition of The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea for deeper documentation of the heraldry, name calculations, and source material referenced on the show. What to expect from this episode: a mix of historical, heraldic, mythological and astronomical analysis tied to a coherent prophetic timeline; claims about Charles III as the first beast; a proposed role for Apophis/Apep as a visible sign in 2029; geopolitical forecasting focused on North Korea, Iran and the Muslim world; and an invitation to study Scripture and the original sources to judge these interpretations for yourself.

Jon Herold welcomes back Ghost for a deep geopolitical breakdown, replaying an old clip of Ghost's David's Corridor prediction before diving into the Mecca Accords, a Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and Turkey defense pact he calls bigger than the Abraham Accords, and a web of new oil pipeline deals connecting Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran. Ghost also unpacks a reported Tulsi Gabbard back channel with IRGC leadership, the timing behind Assad's in absentia death sentence, and his theory on where the Syria nuclear material narrative actually originated. Jon separately covers a former Fauci advisor's guilty plea, new US sanctions on ICC officials, a Trump and Canada tariff pause tied to reviving the Keystone pipeline, and a Moderna cancer vaccine breakthrough he views with some skepticism. Sponsor reads, market updates, and a preview of tonight's Power Hour round out a busy Wednesday show.
A viral interview raises an uncomfortable question: what does it mean when a high-profile US political influencer sits down with a commander tied to the Azov movement and the “clean up the optics” answer is basically no? We take that clip seriously, not as clickbait, but as a window into how the Ukraine war is sold to the public, how propaganda works when facts are inconvenient, and why the neo-Nazi imagery controversy never actually went away. From there, we pull on a bigger thread that keeps showing up in foreign policy: the push to connect wars into one narrative. We talk about the incentives for Ukraine to tie itself to an Iran-centered conflict, what Israel's leadership may want, and how US priorities shift when munitions, media attention, and political will are finite. We also dig into the hard part that rarely gets discussed honestly: even if you think a war is provoked or justified, what is the endgame, and what happens to public opinion when strikes land inside Russia? We then pivot to US politics and the pro-Israel lobby ecosystem, reacting to John Fetterman's meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu and what that symbolism says about party discipline, image management, and who gets rewarded. After that, we highlight journalist Sam Husseini confronting Chuck Schumer, and why real accountability often only happens when someone is willing to get shoved out of the room for asking the question. Finally, we unpack the “Morocco invaded Spain” claim by looking at Ceuta, asylum pathways, Abraham Accords-era leverage, spyware, and how migration routes tie back to destabilization across North Africa and the Sahel. If you care about Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, NATO, and the Israel lobby, this conversation connects the dots. Subscribe, share the show, and leave a review with the part you think the media is getting most wrong.
Part two of the Burning Bright and Ghost saga. Last week gave us the final boss, so naturally this week brings the final convergence, a title Burning Bright cheerfully admits his past self chose despite using "convergence" in roughly half his episodes. This one is meant to be bicameral: two proxy states, two bosses, one game board. The promise for tonight, delivered with maximum deadpan, is to discuss Ukrainians, Israelis, and Nazis, and whether there is any difference between the three. Totally uncontroversial, boilerplate geopolitics, as you have come to expect. Ghost brings the deeper dive: Syria as the geographic center of everything, Assad's Five Seas Vision, the Abraham Accords reconsidered, and why the Mecca agreement matters precisely because no external power is steering it. There is also a sharp breakdown of media narrative-shifting around Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia joining a new defense pact. Pattern recognition over panic, with the dry humor turned up.
A @Christadelphians Video: **[Actual, provable Bible Truth]** We are living in the most prophetic generation since the first century. The Times of the Gentiles—that period when Jerusalem would be trampled underfoot by foreign powers—has concluded. In 1967, a miraculous event unfolded that fulfilled the 2,300-day prophecy of Daniel 8:14, marking the end of this era and ushering in the final countdown to the Kingdom of God.We explore the remarkable fulfilment of Bible prophecy unfolding before our eyes. From the Jewish return to the land and the revival of Hebrew, to the extraordinary events of the Six-Day War and the recapture of Jerusalem, we witness God's hand moving in history. Even more remarkably, we examine the awakening spiritual revival taking place in Israel today—a fulfilment of Ezekiel's prophecy that God would first bring His people back to the land, then sprinkle clean water upon them through the Word.## Chapters00:00 - Introduction: The Prophetic Unravelling05:44 - The Olivet Prophecy and Jerusalem's Destruction08:15 - Daniel's Vision: The 2,300 Days Explained13:56 - The 1967 Miracle: End of the Times of the Gentiles17:28 - The Danger of Complacency in Miraculous Times20:20 - The Mountains of Israel and God's Promise25:34 - The Revival of Torah Study in Israel Today30:04 - Spiritual Transformation Since October 7th36:27 - Ezekiel 36: God's Cleansing of the Nation43:50 - Romans 10: Faith Comes by Hearing47:56 - Peace and Prosperity: The Abraham Accords52:39 - Walls, Bars, and Gates: Prophetic Removal55:47 - The Russian Restraint and Current Events1:07:46 - Our Response: Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem1:11:41 - The Lord Stands at the Door## Bible Verse Category
Edmund Fitton-Brown describes the Houthis' methodical campaign, likely coordinated with Iran, to intimidate Saudi Arabia and prevent its entry into the Abraham Accords. Recent strikes on Mocha and Jazan highlight a resurgence of the 12-year-old Yemeni civil war, which remains a primary source of regional instability. While a new Sunni alliance between Pakistan and Turkey offers symbolic support to the Saudis, it lacks the practical military "teeth" to intervene on the ground. Meanwhile, the UAE is asserting itself as an agile regional powerhouse, investing in high-tech infrastructure and maintaining an uncompromising stance against the Muslim Brotherhood. (7)
TABLE OF CONTENTS JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-10-2026.John Hardie reports North Korea is deploying a specialized unit equipped with KN-23 and KN-24 short-range ballistic missiles to assist Russia's war efforts. This shipment, potentially totaling 120 missiles, significantly bolsters Russia's magazine depth as it continues pounding Ukrainian cities. The relationship is mutually beneficial: Russia receives much-needed munitions and troops, while North Korea gains combat experience and technical assistance for its satellite and missile programs. Ukraine, facing a critical shortage of air defense interceptors, is seeking to use Starlink within Russian territory to hunt and strike these missile launchers before they can fire. (1)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa report Venezuelan negotiators have established a timeline for a political transition, aiming to restore rights and select new electoral authorities by December. However, there are significant concerns regarding the lack of a firm election date and the ongoing militarization of the Bolivarian revolution. Simultaneously, diplomatic relations between Brazil and the U.S. have deteriorated, resulting in the U.S. revoking the credentials of Brazil's ambassador. In Colombia, new president Abelardo de la Espriella has launched a decisive military response against narco-terrorism, a move that regional leaders hope will dismantle the cross-border havens used by Venezuelan-linked criminal groups. (2)Malcolm Hoenlein discusses a new mutual defense pact between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan that has emerged to counter Iranian influence and the Muslim Brotherhood. Meanwhile, in Gaza, empirical data from UNICEF and the WHO challenges international narratives of famine, showing malnutrition rates are actually lower than in many neighboring countries. Theft of aid by Hamas remains a primary obstacle to relief efforts. In Iran, the regime faces severe domestic instability due to energy and water shortages, yet it continues to make extreme "non-negotiable" demands of the U.S., including $300 billion in reparations, while escalating public executions to silence internal dissent. (3)David Daoud explains Iran is currently leveraging negotiations with the U.S. to secure a ceasefire that protects Hezbollah from further Israeli military pressure while allowing the group to rebuild. Critics argue that U.S. security assistance to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) is a poor investment, as the LAF lacks the political will to disarm Hezbollah within its own borders. While a fragile ceasefire has shifted active war toward localized "policing operations" and skirmishes, Hezbollah explicitly rejects any linkage between an Israeli withdrawal and its own disarmament. The Trump administration is reportedly prioritizing "quiet" in Lebanon, which has forced Israeli forces into a more reactive posture. (4)Mariam Wahba reports the Sudanese civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), now entering its fourth year, has left over 400,000 dead. The conflict has evolved into a complex proxy war; the UAE supports the RSF to gain access to gold mines, while Egypt and Turkey lean toward the SAF. Iran has further complicated the battlefield by selling drones and hardware to both factions. Although neither side is seen as morally superior, civilians frequently celebrate when the SAF liberates territory from the RSF. Sudanese activists continue to call for a transition to civilian government despite the ongoing violence. (5)Bridget Toomey reports the Houthis have escalated their regional campaign by striking Saudi Arabia's Jazan refinery, demonstrating their ability to disrupt global energy markets despite recent defense pacts. Within Yemen, the Houthis are intensifying attacks on government-held ports like Mocha and oil-rich regions like Marib to expand their territorial control. These strikes often target civilian displacement camps, using ballistic missiles and drones to sow terror and gain leverage in future negotiations. While Saudi Arabia pursues diplomatic off-ramps through Omani mediation, the Houthis continue to use military pressure to force an agreement favorable to their long-term dominance. (6)Edmund Fitton-Brown describes the Houthis' methodical campaign, likely coordinated with Iran, to intimidate Saudi Arabia and prevent its entry into the Abraham Accords. Recent strikes on Mocha and Jazan highlight a resurgence of the 12-year-old Yemeni civil war, which remains a primary source of regional instability. While a new Sunni alliance between Pakistan and Turkey offers symbolic support to the Saudis, it lacks the practical military "teeth" to intervene on the ground. Meanwhile, the UAE is asserting itself as an agile regional powerhouse, investing in high-tech infrastructure and maintaining an uncompromising stance against the Muslim Brotherhood. (7)Janatyn Sayeh analyzes the appointment of Mohsen Rezaei, an original IRGC veteran, to the Supreme National Security Council, signaling a return to hardline, ideologically driven decision-making in Tehran. Rezaei, linked to past international terrorism, reinforces the regime's aggressive stance against the U.S. and Israel. Iran currently refuses to engage in talks until the U.S. meets extreme demands, including unfreezing all assets and paying billions in reparations. The regime utilizes a "good cop, bad cop" strategy between factions to maximize leverage, but remains unified in its goals of expanding its nuclear program and securing regional dominance through its "resistance axis." (8)Conrad Black reports Prime Minister Mark Carney is under pressure to revitalize Canada's economy 16 months after his election. Despite being a "treasure house" of resources, Canada suffers from lengthy project delays caused by redundant provincial regulations and indigenous land claims. Black notes that Canada's public sector workforce is disproportionately large, representing 12% of the population, and calls for corporate tax cuts to foster competitiveness. While Carney is exploring diversified trade, the U.S. remains Canada's indispensable partner, accounting for roughly 64% of its trade. Carney's political survival depends on achieving the kind of robust growth seen south of the border. (9)Scott Harold explains the U.S. and Japan are adopting a "walking quietly and carrying a big stick" approach to deter a Chinese attack on Taiwan. This strategy involves creating a "hellscape" of thousands of drones and missiles to make an amphibious assault impossibly risky for Beijing. While Japan's official documents avoid explicitly naming Taiwan to prevent escalation, its leadership views a conflict as a survival-endangering situation. China's attempts to annex portions of the Western Pacific as domestic waters pose a direct threat to the global economy. Persistent deterrence remains essential, as the Chinese military currently lacks high-end operational experience and faces leadership purges. (10)Bill Gertz reports a Pentagon official's attendance at a People's Liberation Army (PLA) celebration has sparked fears of a "defeatist" accommodation policy toward Beijing. Critics argue that seeking "respectful relations" with a Leninist regime is interpreted as subservience and weakness. This shift is reportedly influenced by concerns over Chinese control of rare earth minerals. China continues its global expansion and military bullying against neighbors like the Philippinesand Japan. Gertz warns that the U.S. education system is failing to inform the public about the threats of China's high-tech totalitarian system, which seeks to dominate through economic and military coercion.

Henry Sokolski discusses the stalled nuclear cooperative agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, noting that the lack of enrichment restrictions has left the deal in limbo. He explains that a new condominium between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan is designed to counter Iran and Israel, making the Abraham Accords seem "delusional." Sokolski also reflects on the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, noting that Japan's new leadership is considering a review of its non-nuclear principles. Furthermore, he reports on a Chinese study simulating the use of nuclear warheads to intercept asteroids, which he interprets as a potential cover for placing weapons in space. The conversation ends with a discussion on the need for increased drone regulations at critical facilities like Vandenberg Space Force Base following an incident involving an unregistered drone and a foreign national.

DryCleanerCast a podcast about Espionage, Terrorism & GeoPolitics
Samuel M. Katz is a New York Times bestselling author and one of the foremost chroniclers of Middle Eastern conflict, special operations, and intelligence. His latest book, The Architect of Espionage, is the biography of Meir Dagan — the Holocaust survivor turned soldier turned spymaster who reshaped Mossad from a cautious intelligence collector into a direct-action force of global reach. Chris speaks with Katz about the experiences that forged Dagan: rejection from Israel's elite commando ranks, the undercover war he built in Gaza under Ariel Sharon, and the Lebanon fighting that made him a man of war who hated war. The conversation traces his eight-year tenure as Mossad director — the covert campaign against Iran, the intelligence diplomacy that helped lay the groundwork for the Abraham Accords — and what October 7th revealed about the limits of the very apparatus he built.

“Where does the book of Revelation mention the Antichrist?" This pivotal question from Shannon kicks off our discussion of the central figure of the end times. While the specific term "Antichrist" is found in John's epistles, the book of Revelation refers to this figure exclusively as "the Beast," appearing over 40 times in the text. In this discussion, Pastor Ryan Speakman and Sarah reveal their discovery of a startlingly precise candidate for this role: “Our Guy in Damascus,” and the current President of Syria. He currently meets 44 prophetic checkboxes across Judeo-Christian and Muslim eschatology, including the shocking calculation of his name equaling 666 through Greek isopsephy. Key highlights in the full video include:Why the Antichrist is called the "King of the North" in the Book of Daniel.The connection between the Abraham Accords and the final seven-year treaty.The mathematical breakdown of how Al-Sharah's name fits the biblical number of the Beast.Why the post-tribulation rapture means Christians must be spiritually prepared to face these events.Watch the FULL conversation on our YouTube channel to see the evidence and learn how to stay filled with the Holy Spirit for the days ahead.

Kicking off our annual What the Hell summer book series, Hussain Abdul-Hussain discusses his new book, "The Arab Case for Israel: And Other Essays from a Distant Conflict". Having grown up in Beirut and in Baghdad surrounded by anti-Israel rhetoric, Hussain recounts his journey from accepting the region's conventional wisdom to concluding that normalization with Israel is one of the Arab world's greatest strategic opportunities. He argues that economic cooperation, not perpetual conflict, offers the best path to a more prosperous and stable Middle East, and that the Abraham Accords demonstrated what is possible when governments prioritize the future over a mythical past. WTH is preventing more countries from following that path? And can the promise of the Abraham Accords still be realized?Hussain Abdul-Hussain is a research fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) and the author of the book The Arab Case for Israel (Wicked Son/Post Hill Press 2026). He champions immediate, unconditional, and comprehensive peace between every Arab nation and the Jewish state. Hussain's research focuses on Arab affairs, spanning Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Sudan. His career launched as a reporter, and later managing editor, at Beirut's The Daily Star. In Washington, he helped launch and manage the congressionally funded Arabic satellite network Alhurra Iraq before leading the Washington bureau of the Kuwaiti daily Alrai. He has also served as a Visiting Fellow at London's Chatham House. His latest book is The Arab Case for Israel and Other Essays from a Distant Conflict (2026).Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.
Andrea Stricker, Deputy Director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, outlines the proliferation risks associated with a proposed US-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement. She expresses concern over uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, which could enable a nuclear weapons pathway. Stricker warns that granting enrichment rights would destroy the "gold standard" for non-proliferation and likely trigger a nuclear arms race involving Turkey and Egypt. Although President Trump has added caveats regarding the Abraham Accords, Saudi Arabia has threatened to turn to China for technology. Stricker notes the deal faces a difficult 90-day congressional review starting in September. (7)1956 SEMINOLE (13.6 KT)
SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW. 8-4-2026.1900 ST. LAWRENCEColonel Jeff McCausland, United States Army (Retired), discusses the critical depletion of United States missile stockpiles, particularly Patriot and THAAD systems, due to the intensifying war with Iran. He notes that these shortages might force a transition toward piloted bombing missions using heavy aircraft like the B-2 and B-52 for deep penetration. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, McCausland highlights that Iran's ability to deploy sea mines and drones makes military reopening difficult. Turning to Ukraine, he predicts Vladimir Putin will escalate through mobilization rather than negotiation as both sides increasingly target food supplies in the Black Sea. (1)Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, describes a Europe struggling with record heat, wildfires, and critically low river levels that are hampering nuclear power and agriculture. She argues these patterns reflect a deteriorating climate requiring a global response. The conversation shifts to a massive migration incident where 60,000 young men attempted to enter a Spanish exclave from Morocco. Dempsey explains that this surge is being exploited by far-right parties across Europe, such as the AfD in Germany, who capitalize on voter dissatisfaction. She notes that despite bilateral labor agreements, the political fallout is fueling nationalism. (2)Joseph Sternberg, Editorial Board Member of the Wall Street Journal, examines the release of Dr. Anthony Fauci's pandemic-era diaries, which reveal a dichotomy between his private doubts and public pronouncements regarding COVID-19's origins. Sternberg suggests Fauci became pathologically obsessed with his media coverage, positioning himself as an antagonist to Donald Trump to maintain his "star" status. The discussion also covers the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Sternberg notes that young voters, disillusioned by the economy, are increasingly drawn to the DSA's radical, government-led solutions. He questions whether this movement can succeed in purple states. (3)Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, discusses the alarming shortage of US defensive munitions needed to intercept Iranian threats. He notes that Iran, coached by Russia and China, is exploiting this crisis to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and drive up energy prices. Schanzer also addresses the significant weakening of Hezbollah after sustained Israeli operations and the complexities of disarming Hamas in Gaza. He highlights that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces a political tightrope balancing military goals with international pressure. Finally, he observes the unraveling of Chinese-brokered agreements as Houthi threats against Saudi Arabia resurface. (4)Gregory Copley, Publisher of Defense & Foreign Affairs, analyzes global efforts to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, noting that Russia and China are seeking alternative trade corridors to undermine Washington's strategic influence. He suggests China is using current tensions to project American impotence before high-level diplomatic visits. Copley also discusses the "war on food" in the Black Sea, where blockades are forcing a diversification of global supplies. Turning to Ethiopia, he describes a brutal civil conflict involving ethnic factions and the use of Turkish drones against civilian targets. He concludes with the success of King Charles III at the Commonwealth Games. (5)Bill Roggio and Bridget Toomey of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies discuss the Houthis' re-entry into the regional war by declaring a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea. Roggio criticizes the Trumpadministration's lack of a forceful military response, arguing that two US destroyers are insufficient to secure vital waterways. Toomey explains that the Houthis use these attacks to re-establish domestic norms and pressure the global oil market. They note that while the Houthis operate independently, their actions align with Iranian goals to use control over maritime chokepoints as a strategic "nuclear weapon." (6)Andrea Stricker, Deputy Director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, outlines the proliferation risks associated with a proposed US-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement. She expresses concern over uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, which could enable a nuclear weapons pathway. Stricker warns that granting enrichment rights would destroy the "gold standard" for non-proliferation and likely trigger a nuclear arms race involving Turkey and Egypt. Although President Trump has added caveats regarding the Abraham Accords, Saudi Arabia has threatened to turn to China for technology. Stricker notes the deal faces a difficult 90-day congressional review starting in September. (7)Conrad Black, distinguished biographer and National Post columnist, discusses the "aberrant" trade tensions between the US and Canada following the imposition of tariffs based on allegations of forced labor in Chinese imports. Black argues these tariffs are a legal workaround for the Trump administration to bypass the Supreme Court by declaring a national emergency. He characterizes the policy as arbitrary and offensive, noting it has dampened cross-border tourism and led to retaliatory tariffs on items like hockey sticks. Despite the current friction, Black remains optimistic that the dispute will be resolved through negotiation because he believes President Trump fundamentally likes Canada. (8)
Most discourses about Israel or Palestine are morality plays of good guys vs bad guys. Egyptian-born Hussein Aboubakr Mansour takes a different approach, seeing the conflict as a self-reproducing system of political and economic extraction where Arab regimes, opposition movements, rival states, Western academics, NGOs, and Gulf monarchies like Qatar all convert Palestinian victimhood into their own forms of power, money, and meaning. Listen as Mansour speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about his childhood in an Egypt organized around the liberation of Palestine and explores why any exit from the system must run not through policy, but rather through the human need for meaning itself.
A nuclear power deal can sound like paperwork until the fine print turns into a proliferation crisis. We sit down with Jon Hoffman of the Cato Institute to unpack the reported US Saudi nuclear agreement and the real meaning of a “Section 123 agreement” under the Atomic Energy Act. The headline question is simple and unsettling: does this cooperation keep a civilian program civilian, or does it open the door to Saudi uranium enrichment and a future regional arms race? We also dig into why the timing is so politically loaded. The original framework was tied to Saudi Israel normalization and the Abraham Accords, plus talk of a US security guarantee, but the region's wars keep reshuffling incentives. When leaders publicly “clarify” terms after reports of a signed deal, it creates uncertainty for nonproliferation safeguards, congressional oversight, and everyone watching whether US Middle East policy is driven by strategy or leverage. From there, we zoom out to the battlefield and the map. Yemen, the Houthis (Ansar Allah), and the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint collide with rising Iran tensions and the Strait of Hormuz, putting oil flows and global prices at risk. We push back on escalation rhetoric, ask what “victory” even means without objectives or an exit plan, and talk through hard constraints like depleted US missile interceptor stockpiles. Finally, we turn to Israel's posture and the worsening situation in the West Bank, where settler violence and annexation fears keep growing as the world looks elsewhere.
-Rob unloads on New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, joking that publishing wealthy homeowners' addresses is less "tax policy" and more "please bother these people," before comparing the Democratic Socialists to full-blown communists. -Brigitte Gabriel joins the show to discuss the escalating conflict with Iran, the growing cooperation between the U.S. and key Arab allies, the Abraham Accords, Lebanon's Hezbollah problem, and why she believes Zohran Mamdani should not attend New York City's 9/11 commemoration.

Why was there no press conference after Prime Minister Netanyahu's White House meeting with President Trump, and what happened behind those closed doors? This week on Israel Undiplomatic, Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum unpack the growing speculation surrounding the Trump-Netanyahu meeting and why the real battle over Tehran's nuclear program may be entering a decisive new phase. They also examine the prospects for expanding the Abraham Accords, the strategic calculations involving Lebanon, Syria and Saudi Arabia and why Israel's recent military victories could reshape the Middle East for years to come. Plus, they pay tribute to Boy George after his powerful public stand against antisemitism and his moving new song honoring the victims of the Nova massacre.
You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 28, 2026. We open with the growing controversy surrounding Senator Mitch McConnell after Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear publicly called on him to prove he is capable of serving or resign. We examine whether the governor's concerns are legitimate or politically motivated, why McConnell's continued absence has fueled speculation, and what Kentucky's updated election laws mean if the Senate seat were to become vacant before November's election. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump meets separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss the Middle East, Ukraine, and expanding the Abraham Accords. The Department of Justice asks the Supreme Court to reinstate President Trump's executive order requiring stricter citizenship verification for mail-in voting, and newly released audio recordings of former President Joe Biden reveal conversations about classified documents and memory lapses that are reigniting questions surrounding the federal investigation. We also break down the release of more than 1,000 pages of Anthony Fauci's personal diaries, which critics say contradict years of public testimony about his role in school shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss the diary entries describing conversations with state and local leaders, the growing questions surrounding Fauci's influence over pandemic policy, and why the newly released records are drawing renewed scrutiny from Congress. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, react to Fauci's diaries and discuss what they believe the entries reveal about his leadership during the pandemic. They examine his private reflections, his interactions with political leaders and media personalities, and why they believe the diaries raise serious questions about transparency, accountability, and public trust. We dig deep into several major stories shaping the country, including the highest national foreclosure rate in nearly seven years and what happens when government intervention distorts the housing market. We also examine controversy surrounding a Smithsonian exhibit describing "whiteness" and whether the museum's messaging promotes unity or division. Finally, we discuss billions of dollars in Chinese funding flowing into American universities and the growing concerns about foreign influence inside U.S. higher education. We also highlight FIFA President Gianni Infantino's public defense of the United States after the World Cup, praising the tournament's safety, hospitality, and unity while pushing back against critics who predicted chaos. The tournament welcomed millions of fans from around the world without the violence or unrest many expected, making it one of the event's biggest success stories. And we close with an inspiring story out of California, where 16-year-old lifeguard Ryder heroically rescued a 10-year-old boy from dangerous surf. His quick thinking and bravery caught the attention of President Trump, who announced the young lifeguard will be invited to the White House to be recognized for his actions.

They fear global systemic collapse, and don't believe in borders or nation states like us peasants. We start today's episode with some negligible Argentine world cup controversy, then move onto its idiotically colorful anarcho-capitalist president, Javier Milei and his notorious allegiances to both the state of Israel and trans-national tech billionaires like Peter Thiel. The US government wants to use the right-wing government of Argentina to serve as a mini Israel in the region - a bulwark against any left-wing movements in Latin America in order to bring it under the complete influence of the US and Israel. This is a complicated subject, but this initiative is founded on what are called the “Isaac Accords,” which are modeled after the Israeli normalization deal, the Abraham Accords, meant to establish US/Israeli hegemony over all the governments of West Asia. The core question here though, is “why are billionaires moving to Argentina?” Very excited for this episode, we've got a great guest and a lot to cover.You can follow Marianela here:https://www.instagram.com/thefuddhist/Source List:https://fortune.com/2026/07/16/the-global-rich-peter-thiel-safe-haven-argentina/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/27/hondurass-hernandez-returns-home-after-trump-pardon-how-it-happenedhttps://www.reuters.com/world/europe/greenland-freedom-city-rich-donors-push-trump-tech-hub-up-north-2025-04-10/https://www.texastribune.org/2025/04/24/starbase-texas-election-space-x/https://www.prospera.co/en
President Trump has made one thing unmistakably clear: Iran's regime will never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. In this exclusive conversation, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee joins Erick Stakelbeck from Jerusalem to discuss the rapidly escalating showdown with Tehran, the future of the Abraham Accords, and why the Middle East may be on the verge of its biggest geopolitical transformation in decades. Ambassador Huckabee explains why the Iranian regime has ignored every opportunity for peace, why President Trump's policy of peace through strength has fundamentally changed the rules of engagement, and why the regime is facing mounting military, economic, and diplomatic pressure. Ambassador Huckabee also shares a powerful reminder that the conflict in the Middle East is not only geopolitical—it is spiritual. As the region stands at a historic crossroads, he explains why America's relationship with Israel remains vital to peace, security, and the future of the free world. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Middle East is once again dominating headlines, but are the most popular narratives actually true?In this conversation, geopolitical strategist and author Martin Skold joins Jon Harris to separate internet myths from geopolitical reality. They discuss why Iran remains a long-term strategic challenge, whether America's alliance with Israel serves U.S. interests, the limits of the Abraham Accords, China's growing influence, the future of Middle East trade, and why simplistic explanations are attracting millions online.They also tackle the resurgence of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on the American Right, the dangers of scapegoating Israel for every global problem, and what a genuinely America First foreign policy should look like.Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation provides historical context and geopolitical analysis that is often missing from today's online debates.Topics include:Iran and the future of the Middle EastIsrael and U.S. foreign policyTucker Carlson's recent claimsChina, trade, and global power shiftsWhy internet narratives often miss the bigger pictureThe resurgence of anti-SemitismAmerica's strategic interests abroad00:00 Introduction01:20 Why the Middle East keeps repeating itself06:45 Popular online narratives about Israel09:05 Is there reason for optimism?13:30 Trade, China, and regional alliances17:50 Does Israel drag America into war?20:00 Tucker Carlson and the "merged militaries" claim24:00 Why anti-Semitic narratives are spreading29:00 Globalization and America's foreign policy establishment36:00 China, manufacturing, and strategic competition45:00 America's long-term geopolitical challenges54:00 What an America First foreign policy should look like1:03:00 Final thoughtsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
A new front opens in the Iran war as the Houthis attack the Saudis and declare a blockade of the Red Sea. Also, Trump flubs a nuclear deal with the Saudis. Does he have the leverage to push the Saudis into the Abraham Accords? Hear analysis from Riyadh, Israel and Iran.
SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-24-20261940 BERLINJeff Bliss reports from Los Angeles, where Mayor Karen Bass's "Inside Safe" program faces scrutiny as figures show 41% of participants returned to homelessness. Encampments have expanded significantly, with Skid Row growing from five blocks to over 50. Bliss notes that organized crime cartels reportedly rent dilapidated RVs to the homeless, profiting from government stipends. Despite rising homelessness rates and disappointing results, local politicians are criticized for a lack of accountability and for fostering a "homelessness industry." (1)Jeff Bliss notes the Oakland Athletics are preparing for a move to Las Vegas, with high-profile investor Mark Cubanjoining as a minority owner to boost the franchise's profile. Development plans include a unique heart-shaped hotel on a previously failed ferris wheel site near the future stadium. Meanwhile, Hollywood faces "creative destruction" as Pixarinitiates layoffs despite box office success. Additionally, location shoot bookings in Los Angeles have dropped 13%, signaling a shift in the film industry. (2)Richard Epstein critiques the Smithsonian's "Many Voices, One Nation" exhibit for its "woke" portrayal of American history. He argues the exhibit unfairly reduces Benjamin Franklin to an "alleged racist" while ignoring his foundational contributions. Epstein highlights the complexity of figures like Thomas Jefferson, who authored the Declaration of Independence yet held restrictive views on immigration. The discussion underscores a perceived ideological mono-culture within the history profession that prioritizes narrative over factual nuance. (3)Richard Epstein analyzes the Trump administration's reintroduction of tariffs, now targeting allies like Australia and the EU under the guise of combating "forced labor." Epstein characterizes these moves as "lawfare" and "mindless isolationism," noting that these allies often have superior working conditions compared to the U.S. He warns that such policies alienate essential partners needed to counter global threats from Russia, Iran, and China, effectively driving allies to organize independently. (4)Jim McTague reports from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where Costco gas prices have reached $4.09, causing "mind-numbing" costs for residents. While some business slowdowns are noted, local diners remain full, supported by a robust retiree demographic with "deep pockets." The real estate market is exceptionally tight, with only 200 homes available as New Yorkers continue to bid up prices for high-quality housing. McTague concludes with observations on local tourism and his upcoming road trip to Kentucky. (5)Lorenzo Fiato reports Italy is battling severe wildfires in Sicily and Sardinia amid a prolonged heatwave. Fiato reports that Italians face exorbitant fuel costs, reaching $9.50 per gallon on motorways due to heavy taxation. To avoid over-tourism in cities like Florence, he recommends visiting Ascoli Piceno, the "town of the 100 towers," known for its travertine architecture. He concludes with culinary recommendations, including the traditional Spaghetti Ascolana paired with local Pecorino or Rosso Piceno wines. (6)Bob Zimmerman reports Rocket Lab has secured major Pentagon contracts for hypersonic test launches, potentially utilizing a remote new facility in Alaska. SpaceX is rumored to be planning a massive spaceport in Louisiana, while Northrop Grumman is successfully deploying robotic satellite-servicing pods. Conversely, Zimmerman criticizes "leftist governments" in the UK and Australia for stifling their domestic space industries with excessive red tape and "meaningless bureaucratic jargon," which forces young aerospace talent to seek opportunities abroad. (7)Bob Zimmerman highlights the "bankruptcy" of modern academia, citing a study where half of social science papers failed replication tests. He discusses an upcoming Falcon 9 rocket impact on the moon scheduled for August 5th and new data from the Juno mission revealing Io's subsurface temperatures. Additionally, scientists are investigating whether a suspected asteroid is actually a failed 1980s Soviet Mars probe, although Zimmerman remains skeptical of speculative theories involving alien technology. (8)Henry Sokolski examines a proposed deal to provide Saudi Arabia with nuclear power that has sparked intense proliferation concerns. While the Department of Energy initially signaled a "green light," the Trump administration later conditioned the agreement on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords. Sokolski warns that without "Additional Protocol" inspections, the kingdom could use the technology to develop a "bomb option." This follows the Crown Prince's 2018 assertion that Saudi Arabia would seek nuclear weapons if Iran acquired them. (9)Henry Sokolski continues: the Saudi nuclear deal remains "contradictory," with the White House and Department of Energy appearing out of sync. Media criticism reportedly prompted the president to demand a "quid pro quo"—Saudi recognition of Israel—to justify the proliferation risks. Israel remains in a difficult position; while desiring normalization, it privately opposes a Saudi nuclear program that could trigger a regional arms race. The deal's progress depends on whether it is submitted to Congress by late September. (10)Peter Huessy explains "extended deterrence," the U.S. nuclear umbrella protecting allies from aggression. Huessy critiques a proposal to delegate nuclear authority to a "three-key" system involving France and the UK, arguing it would create dangerous indecision during a crisis. He notes that allies increasingly doubt U.S. resolve. Strategy has shifted toward "counterforce" targets, aiming to disable an enemy's leadership and military capability rather than destroying cities, to provide "flexible response" options. (11)Peter Huessy notes Russia holds a 20-to-1 advantage over the U.S. in "theater" or tactical nuclear weapons, which Putinuses for "nuclear blackmail" to keep NATO out of the Ukraine conflict. Huessy argues the U.S. must deploy survivable, sea-based theater weapons to restore a credible deterrent. Reflecting on the realistic horror of the 1984 film Threads, he warns that even a single tactical exchange could rapidly escalate into a global catastrophe that ends civilization. (12)Captain James Fanell reports China is escalating physical violence against Philippine Navy personnel at Second Thomas Shoal, including "poking, prodding, and beating" sailors. Fanell explains this "petulant" behavior coincides with the 10th anniversary of a Hague ruling that invalidated China's maritime claims. Simultaneously, China and Russiaconducted joint live-fire drills in Japan's exclusive economic zone. These coordinated actions signal Beijing's intent to ignore international law and forcibly challenge the sovereignty of its neighbors. (13)Captain James Fanell reports China recently conducted its first submarine-launched ballistic missile test in the South Pacific in 40 years. Fanell reports that China has shifted to a "first use" nuclear policy and is completing its triad with the H-20 stealth bomber. He uses the "boiling frog" analogy to describe China's incremental aggression, warning that the U.S.must recognize these self-evident intentions before a "shot" is taken against regional forces or allies like Taiwan. (14)Conrad Black disputes Prime Minister Mark Carney's characterization of Canada as a "middle power," arguing the term is obsolete for a G7 nation with a larger economy than Russia. He critiques Carney's attempt to foster ties with China, noting China's "tatters" economy and history of disregarding trade agreements. Black maintains that Canada should prioritize its vital relationship with the U.S. while embracing a more ambitious and patriotic view of its global influence. (15)Veronique de Rugy argues autonomous vehicles like Waymo could reduce road fatalities by 94%, yet their adoption is stalled by opposition from trial lawyers and unions. Unions fear job losses for taxi, truck, and delivery drivers, though de Rugy argues automation historically transitions workers into higher-paying, less tedious roles. She emphasizes that driverless cars would provide life-changing accessibility for rural and elderly populations who currently lack reliable transportation options. (16)

Ghost comes in hot off his third recording of the day for a whiplash inducing news cycle. The big story is the US Saudi civilian nuclear deal, signed one day and seemingly upended by Trump the next with a surprise Abraham Accords condition. Ghost walks through the CNN and Zero Hedge reporting, then spends serious time explaining why he thinks the whole "confusion" narrative is theater aimed at a very specific audience. From there it is a lightning round through Barak Ravid's timeline: Trump weighing a massive new strike on Iran, Netanyahu's upcoming White House visit tied to Lindsey Graham's funeral, and a US UK push for an international coalition to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Ghost closes out with a Turkish sailor killed in a Ukrainian drone strike near Novorossiysk, and what that could mean for Turkey's patience. Dense, opinionated, and unmistakably Ghost.

Just this week, the United States signed a nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to, in their words, set the stage for a long term economic and energy partnership between the two nations. This is an absolute bombshell, and it has very interesting implications with the US' relationship with the Middle East, the Iran War, and the current nuclear status quo. Also in the middle of all of this, Trump drops another bombshell in regard to the Abraham Accords. Behind closed doors Trump may be trading Nuclear capability for peace with Israel…Ben Hilton breaks it down for you here in today's video.

President Donald Trump said on July 23 that the nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia is contingent on the kingdom normalizing ties with Israel. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that there would be no enrichment of nuclear material by Saudi Arabia and that the deal “pertains only to non-military use” and “will be approved but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords.” The president added that the United States is not opposed to civil nuclear facilities. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on July 23 on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Manila, Philippines. In their first face-to-face meeting this year, the two top diplomats discussed a range of issues, including Russian–American relations and the need to end the war in Ukraine.
On this unscripted Friday livestream edition of Right On Radio the host returns to a stripped-down format (no camera) to cover breaking news, follow-ups from the previous show, and faith-focused reflections. The episode opens with an update on controversial pastor Steven Anderson — the allegations from his children, the online influencer reaction, and a plea for accountable, loving correction rather than fanaticism. The program moves into a "Word on Word" moment, comparing two Bible verses (1 Corinthians 10:13 and Psalm 112:5) and inviting viewer feedback, followed by listener interaction about the show format and streaming platforms (Rumble vs X). Major news segments include a clear, listener-oriented explainer of the NDAA House votes using a viral Marjorie Taylor Greene clip — the difference between the rule vote and final passage and why the "courageous no" matters — and a deep dive into the growing surveillance-camera controversy. The host examines the Flock camera backlash, alleged ties between competing firms (Axon), and implicated investors — from Silicon Valley firms to institutional shareholders — stressing that brand labels don't change the core threat of mass surveillance and urging civic action over vigilante responses. In a substantial geopolitical analysis, the host frames the Israel–Iran tensions as part of a larger banking/energy struggle: control of choke points (Panama Canal, Strait of Hormuz, Arctic routes), insurance and shipping pressures, and Trump-era moves to realign global power (energy leverage, Abraham Accords outreach). The segment connects these developments to broader themes about the City of London, central banking, and a speculative thesis that Jerusalem could emerge as a new global power center — plus a candid take on Trump's role in the unfolding end-times narrative. Throughout the episode the host references clips and positions from public figures (Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie), offers practical context for listeners trying to follow complex policy maneuvers, and recommends community-level responses where possible. The show closes with an uplifting Friday music pick, reminders for Saturday night prayer and Sunday night Bible study, and a call to love God, family, and neighbors while engaging your community.
A special bonus episode, and a personal one. Ghost opens with some real life news of his own (nothing dramatic, just change on the horizon) before diving into Trump's Oval Office meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. They cover the new US Lebanon framework aimed at ending hostilities with Israel, why Ghost thinks the real standoff is between Trump and Netanyahu rather than Lebanon and Hezbollah, and why disarming Hezbollah remains, in Ghost's words, a pipe dream. From there it is a grab bag of asides straight from the press conference, covering the Abraham Accords, a brewing Saudi nuclear deal with an American vendor, a pointed exchange about Iran and Hormuz, and Trump's testy back and forth with a reporter over China. Ghost also breaks down a fiery attack on a federal building in Manhattan. A little bit of everything, wrapped up quickly before he heads out of town.
President Trump said on Thursday that a new nuclear energy deal with Saudi Arabia will require the Arab kingdom to normalize relations with Israel. That marked a turn, a day after the administration announced the signing of the agreement without mentioning that precondition. Trump said in an online post that the deal “will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Trump's condition that Saudi Arabia join the accords that would establish relations with Israel. And tick, tock, goes the end times clock.“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Daniel 9:27 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the stunning part of this announcement is not simply that Washington and Riyadh have negotiated a civilian nuclear partnership. It is that President Trump has now placed Israel at the hinge of the entire arrangement. The Energy Department announced a decades-long nuclear-cooperation agreement on July 22; Trump then declared that its implementation is “totally subject” to Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations with Israel. Nuclear power, American technology, Saudi wealth, regional security and peace with Israel are being bound together inside one enormous geopolitical package. Saudi Arabia has always been the crown jewel of Trump's Abraham Accords. Bringing the kingdom into formal relations with Israel would transform the accords from a collection of normalization agreements into the framework for an entirely new Middle Eastern order.Psalm 83 presents Israel surrounded by enemies conspiring against its continued existence. Jeremiah 30:7 points forward to the unparalleled “time of Jacob's trouble.” Daniel 9:27 reveals a covenant that appears to provide order and security before producing betrayal, abomination and desolation. Taken together, these passages paint a sobering picture: Israel's search for peace will ultimately produce an agreement powerful enough to reorganize the region, persuasive enough to gain Israel's confidence and broad enough to include “many.” Trump may not be the man who ultimately confirms Daniel's covenant, but he is absolutely helping construct the diplomatic machinery that the coming man of sin will inherit. The names and circumstances are impossible to ignore: the Abraham Accords, Israel at the center, Saudi Arabia as the decisive partner, multiple nations being gathered, promises of peace and security, and now nuclear technology being used as leverage to seal the deal. Come with us as we take another ‘giant step' on the end times timeline!!

War Room Trump Throws Abraham Accords Monkey Wrench Into Saudi Nuclear Deal at 11th Hour, As Iran Threatens to Conduct Terror Attacks That Will ‘Cause National Mourning in America,' PLUS, Jack Smith Hit With Criminal Referral for Lying to Congress About Spying on Lawmakers
Both the House & Senate vote again on Iran War Powers Act resolutions sponsored by Democrats to force President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces without Congressional approval. House resolution passes, Senate resolution fails; President Trump says the civilian nuclear agreement the U.S. signed with Saudi Arabia requires Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords and recognize Israel, something that was not in the original agreement; President welcomes electricity companies and governors joining technology companies in signing a pledge that the expansion of data centers will not mean consumers have higher utility bills; Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director nominee Brian Johnson goes before the Senate Banking Committee; House passes a bill to explore ways Social Security Disability recipients can earn more money without losing their benefits; Race for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senator from Maine is now down to two candidates ahead of Saturday's convention; House Oversight Committee interviews former Barclays bank executive Jes Staley in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation; Rep.

Buckle up, because this briefing tries to cram in a World Series celebration, a Correspondents Dinner preview, tax refund bragging rights, and a Saudi nuclear deal with strings attached, all before lunch. The press secretary walks through record breaking tax refund numbers, a data center ratepayer pledge expanding to cover 80% of American power delivery, and a civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that comes with one very specific condition tied to the Abraham Accords. Reporters push on China's alleged AI theft, self driving car legislation, a WNBA player facing backlash for a common sense comment, and whether the President's patience with Senate leadership is wearing thin. There's also a New Jersey noncitizen voter rolls controversy, a Save America Act status update, and a quick note on the President's schedule for the week ahead. It's a packed room with a packed rundown, classic White House briefing chaos delivered with a straight face.

In this episode of IsraelCast, Steven Shalowitz sits down with author, policy advisor, and Israel advocate Aryeh Green to discuss his new book, Finding Peace in the Promised Land. Drawing on decades of experience in public diplomacy, policy, and regional engagement, Green presents a new approach to resolving the Arab Israel conflict through five transformative principles: humility, acceptance, gratitude, forgiveness, and purpose. Green explains how these ideas were inspired by his personal experiences and expanded through years of working to promote freedom, democracy, and stronger relationships across the Middle East. The conversation explores the role of education, religious leadership, media, governance, and grassroots engagement in creating the conditions for lasting peace. Green also reflects on the lessons of the Abraham Accords, the challenges that continue to shape the region, and why meaningful change requires both courageous leadership and cultural transformation.

Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter — Guests pay tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, highlighting his role in the Abraham Accords and US-Israel relations; Israeli elections are set for October 27th, and regional tensions rise as the U.S. reimposes a naval blockade on Iran following renewed attacks on Gulf neighbors. (5))
SCHEDULE JBS, 7-13-26.1914 PALESTINESamuel Ben-Ur — Israel controls 70% of Gaza, creating a buffer zone while Hamas remains on the coast; 98% of the population resides on the Hamas-controlled side, where the group exploits humanitarian aid for revenue, and the Board of Peace proposes a "pilot zone" in Tel Sultan for non-Hamas civilians. (1)Samuel Ben-Ur — The Board of Peace remains underfunded, with only $23 million confirmed of the $17 billion pledged; Hamas rejected an eight-month disarmament plan, its leadership has largely relocated from Qatar to Turkey, and Netanyahu's political standing depends on his hardline refusal to cede Gaza territory. (2)Bill Gertz and Gordon Chang — Rose Gottemoeller suggests Vladimir Putin nearly used tactical nuclear weapons in 2022 to stop a military rout, allegedly dissuaded by private pressure from the U.S., China, and India; reports indicate China is now providing covert military training to Russian forces. (3)Mark Simon and Gordon Chang — China released Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri following a request from Donald Trump, showing Xi Jinping can make concessions without losing face; however, billionaire publisher Jimmy Lai remains imprisoned for political crimes, viewed by the Chinese government as a significant threat and a "one-man wrecking crew." (4)Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter — Guests pay tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, highlighting his role in the Abraham Accords and US-Israel relations; Israeli elections are set for October 27th, and regional tensions rise as the U.S. reimposes a naval blockade on Iran following renewed attacks on Gulf neighbors. (5)Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter — Anti-Semitism is surging in the UK, leading to a £250 million government allocation for protection; Iran continues to act as an "octopus" of instability across the Middle East, and guests argue that dealing with Iran is the only way to achieve regional peace and allow the area to bloom. (6)David Daoud — Hezbollah fighters are integrated into southern Lebanese villages, making evacuation north of the Litani River unfeasible; while Lebanese law requires disarmament, the government lacks the will to confront Hezbollahdue to its significant social support, turning Lebanon into a hollowed-out, failed state. (7)David Daoud — Prime Minister Netanyahu uses theatrical tours of the border to project strength ahead of the October elections; he faces criticism for being unable to say "no" to President Trump, and ultimately the fate of Israeli military deployments in Lebanon and Gaza depends more on Washington than Jerusalem. (8)Bridget Toomey — Saudi Arabia struck Sanaa airport to prevent Iran from establishing direct flights to Houthi-controlled territory; the Houthis have vowed retaliation, potentially targeting Saudi oil infrastructure or airports with drones and missiles, though they have avoided attacking U.S. vessels to prevent renewed air campaigns. (9)John Hardie — President Trump signaled he will grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missile systems, though standing up production will take years; meanwhile, Germany is financing 50,000 AI-guided drones for Ukraine, which use terminal guidance to strike targets despite electronic warfare interference. (10)Edmund Fitton-Brown — The U.S. is reimposing a naval blockade on Iran after the collapse of the poorly drafted memorandum of understanding; Iran's economy is "choking to death" under these measures, and guests argue the U.S.must prioritize controlling the Strait of Hormuz through international cooperation and naval power. (11)Edmund Fitton-Brown — The truce between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis may be over following strikes on Sanaaairport, with retaliatory attacks potentially targeting major Saudi international airports and oil facilities; despite Iranianinfluence, the new Iraqi prime minister appears to be drifting toward the United States for security and stability. (12)Ahmad Sharawi — President Trump has agreed to review lifting Syria's state sponsor of terror designation to aid its economic recovery; however, the country remains unstable, with rampant ISIS activity and foreign leaders facing security risks in Damascus, while Turkey and Saudi Arabia position themselves to invest heavily in Syria. (13)Jonathan Schanzer — The naval blockade on Iran represents the "maximum pressure" campaign, effectively dropping Iranian oil exports to zero; this economic strangulation poses an existential threat to the regime, which struggles to pay its personnel, and recent direct missile exchanges suggest diplomatic understandings between the U.S. and Iran have collapsed. (14)Bob Zimmerman — China successfully recovered a reusable rocket stage, joining SpaceX and Blue Origin in the race for cheaper launches; on the ISS, a private company successfully manufactured human kidney and liver tissues, and SpaceX continues to break records, with boosters flying up to 36 times, significantly reducing satellite launch costs. (15)Bob Zimmerman — SETI has tightened protocols for announcing alien life to prevent "clickbait" claims lacking evidence, with scientists encouraged to be more transparent about mistakes and maintain anonymity during discoveries; future missions include deploying helicopters to Mars and launching the Habitable Worlds Observatory in the 2040s. (16)Corrections: Samuel Bener → Samuel Ben-Ur; Bill Girtz → Bill Gertz; Pastor Jyn / Ezra Jin Mingu → Ezra Jin Mingri; Jimmy Lie → Jimmy Lai; Thaddius McCotter → Thaddeus McCotter; Bridget Tumeh → Bridget Toomey; John Hardy → John Hardie.One question: the batch ended with "1-8" — I've numbered the full run (1)–(16), but if you wanted this split as tails (1)–(8) across paired segments, or only the first eight numbered, say the word and I'll renumber.
Greg Kelly Reports | July 13, 2026 - President Trump remembers Lindsey Graham, dismisses poisoning speculation, supports Darlene Graham Nordone as interim senator, and names Russell Fry as a potential long-term successor. - Trump says U.S. forces control the Strait of Hormuz, have crippled major parts of Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure, and could clear the way for Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords. - On the second anniversary of the Butler assassination attempt, Trump calls his survival a miracle and faults the security failures that allowed Thomas Crooks to reach an exposed rooftop. - Election integrity takes center stage as Trump demands voter ID, proof of citizenship, and tighter mail-ballot rules, while criticizing Mitch McConnell's opposition to the SAVE America Act. - Kathy Hochul's election-year red-tape stunt is mocked as desperate political theater while Bruce Blakeman emerges as a serious Republican threat in the New York governor's race.
