Trump is facing pressure on all fronts — and the cracks are starting to show. Abroad, tensions with Iran are escalating fast after a reported strike near Tehran killed a top Iranian leader. As the situation spirals, Donald Trump is pushing U.S. allies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz — but so far, key partners are refusing, raising questions about America's influence and the risk of a wider conflict. Back home, reality is setting in. After promising mass deportations and a “100 percent American workforce,” the administration is now expanding migrant farmworker visas as labor shortages hit — a stark reversal that exposes the limits of Trump's immigration agenda. Meanwhile, Republicans are advancing the SAVE Act, a controversial voting bill critics warn could tilt elections toward the GOP. Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break it all down — from growing global pushback to the economic fallout at home, and whether the administration is losing control of its own agenda. Plus, Scott recaps his night at the Vanity Fair Oscars party.

How does Donald Trump claim the authority to police the world whilst simultaneously undermining the democratic values it once championed at home? The contradiction of a government eroding civil rights, suppressing dissent, and straining democratic institutions while framing military pressure against Iran as an effort to defend freedom and global security. At the same time, America's traditional alliances have weakened as Washington distances itself from long-standing democratic partners and appears more accommodating toward Russia, raising questions about the legitimacy of its claims to moral leadership abroad.

Between the years of 1865 and 1901, the United States saw unprecedented economic and industrial growth. During this time, an area referred to as The Berkshires in the state of Massachusetts became the primary location for the country's wealthiest families to build country estates that would rival many of the UK's manor houses in both stature and size. These estates, despite their grandiose nature, were referred to as the Berkshire Cottages due to their primary function being summer homes. Many of these houses hosted lavish events attended by the highest of high society figures at the time. Over a century after the Berkshire Cottages' heyday, echoes remain of former inhabitants who aren't yet prepared to leave their grandiose, gilded age homes behind.Do you have an interesting story which you'd be willing to share with the show?

A Public Health Internship Abroad: In this episode of Plugged Into Public Health, Lauren speaks with University of Iowa public health student Jahanvi Chawla about her summer internship abroad in London. Through a hybrid program that combined coursework and hands on experience, Jahanvi worked with Healthwatch Enfield, a community organization that gathers local feedback on healthcare access and connects residents with resources. During the internship, Jahanvi helped develop a community mental health guide designed to support residents during long wait times for formal services. The project involved conversations with community groups, stakeholders, and local organizations to better understand barriers to mental health care. These experiences highlighted the role that culture, stigma, and community networks play in shaping how people seek support. The conversation also explores differences between the US and UK healthcare systems, what it means to do community centered public health work, and how studying abroad can expand students' understanding of health policy and practice. A transcript of this episode will be available here soon. Have a question for our podcast crew or an idea for an episode?

What if the life you have been dreaming of is just one bold decision away? In 2021, amid global uncertainty and COVID lockdowns, Barbara Grassey did what most people only fantasize about: she left the United States and moved to Europe—alone. At 62, she boarded a plane to Portugal without knowing a single person, without speaking the language, and without ever having visited the country. What she did know was this: the time for waiting was over.American Expat: Moving Abroad Solo After 60* is a candid, often funny memoir about leaving everything familiar behind and starting over in Europe later in life. The book chronicles Barbara's first year in Portugal—from wrestling with visa requirements and maddening bureaucracy to building a life from scratch in a country where she barely understood the street signs. Along the way, she confronts loneliness, fear, unexpected freedom, and the surprising joy of becoming someone new.This memoir speaks directly to anyone who is ever wondering if it is too late or too risky to move abroad alone. Whether you are considering retiring overseas, relocating to Europe, or simply leaving the United States behind, Barbara's story offers proof that reinvention has no expiration date. If you are in your 50s, 60s, or beyond, partnered, or solo, this book will show you what is possible.American Expat* is not just a memoir—it is your permission slip, your roadmap, and your proof that it is never too late to change your life. https://barbaragrassey.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

In the months following World War II, Antarctica drew the attention of one of the most ambitious polar expeditions in history: Operation Highjump, led by Admiral Richard E. Byrd in 1946–47. Officially, the mission was straightforward…a massive naval operation to train personnel, test new equipment in extreme polar conditions, and establish research outposts. The U.S. Navy deployed thousands of personnel, dozens of ships, and a fleet of aircraft to navigate the treacherous ice.  But as often happens in isolated, secretive places, reality and rumour quickly intertwined. Almost immediately after the expedition, extraordinary stories began to circulate. Some claimed that Byrd's reconnaissance flights revealed not endless ice, but vast stretches of greenery, lakes, and even herds of prehistoric creatures…creatures reminiscent of mammoths, wandering in isolated valleys hidden from human eyes.  Do you have an interesting story which you'd be willing to share with the show?

Send a textTonight we break down the chaos surrounding the latest conflict in the Middle East and the ripple effects hitting here home. Reports of destruction in Tel Aviv raise questions about what we're really being told about casualties on all sides—including our own military. Meanwhile gas prices are getting crazy, potentially squeezing an already fragile economy.Even more odd, we have media outlets that rarely agree—like FOX and CNN—suddenly repeating the same talking points about “short-term pain for long-term gain.” Are we watching a coordinated narrative in ther making?If this conflict expands, who might be called upon to serve and what it could all mean for everyday Americans.Plus we really went deep into some great high strangeness rabbit holes near the end of the show.SUPPORTBuy Me A Coffee http://buymeacoffee.com/DangerousinfopodcastSubscribeStar http://bit.ly/42Y0qM8Super Chat Tip https://bit.ly/42W7iZHBuzzsprout https://bit.ly/3m50hFTPaypal http://bit.ly/3Gv3ZjpPatreon http://bit.ly/3G3Visit our affiliate, GrubTerra to get 20% off your next order of pet treats: https://bit.ly/436YLVZSupport the show using Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/dangerousinfopodcast SMART is the acronym that was created by technocrats that have setup the "internet of things" that will eventually enslave humanity to their needs.

The truth is, no one ever feels 100% ready. Moving abroad always involves uncertainty. However, there are often small signals that the idea might be more than just a passing thought.In this episode, we talk about 5 signs that you might be more ready to move abroad than you think.We cover:Why constantly imagining life abroad can mean something deeper than wanderlustHow researching visas and logistics is often the first real step toward a moveWhy international travel sometimes turns into “life research” instead of vacationThe role uncertainty plays in big life decisionsWhy many people feel drawn to a different lifestyle, not just a different placeIf you've ever wondered whether moving abroad is just a fun idea or something you might actually do, this episode will help you think about that question in a clearer way.Because the first step toward a move abroad isn't having everything figured out — it's curiosity.

President Donald Trump is confronting adversaries abroad while battling political resistance at home. As U.S. forces escalate operations against Iran and negotiations swirl around Cuba, Trump is also pressuring Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act before endorsing John Cornyn in a heated primary challenge from Ken Paxton. The result: a high-stakes clash shaping both global strategy and domestic politics. Episode Summary The Trump administration is simultaneously navigating major geopolitical tensions and an escalating fight inside Washington. Abroad, U.S. and allied forces have intensified operations against Iran, reportedly striking thousands of targets and crippling major military infrastructure. Former commander David Petraeus says the U.S. has effectively achieved air supremacy, enabling expanded use of heavy bombers and carrier strike groups now moving into the region. The deployment includes the USS Gerald R. Ford and the USS George H. W. Bush. Strategically, analysts argue control of key global shipping routes—from the Strait of Hormuz to the Suez Canal—could reshape global power dynamics, particularly in relation to China's energy imports. Meanwhile, Trump also hinted at major changes in Cuba, joking that Secretary of State Marco Rubio could resolve the situation quickly as negotiations reportedly involve members of the Castro family. Back home, the biggest political fight may be inside Trump's own party. The president is withholding support from Senator John Cornyn unless Republicans move forward on the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. The move follows pressure from Ken Paxton, who is challenging Cornyn in the primary and urging Trump to leverage his endorsement to force action on election security. At the same time, a federal case involving Asif Merchant has raised new questions about alleged Iranian assassination plots targeting Trump and other U.S. officials—adding another layer to the escalating conflict between Washington and Tehran. With military operations expanding overseas and political battles intensifying at home, the coming weeks could prove pivotal for both U.S. foreign policy and the future of the Republican Party. Key Takeaways U.S. forces are escalating military operations against Iran with carrier groups and heavy bombers. Global shipping chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz could become strategic leverage points. Negotiations regarding Cuba reportedly involve figures connected to the Castro family. Donald Trump is pressuring Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act. The Texas Senate primary between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn is becoming a key political battleground. A federal trial involving Asif Merchant raises new concerns about Iranian threats. Topic Tags: Trump Administration, Iran War, Cuba Politics, SAVE Act, GOP Infighting, Global Strategy

Leadership changes sparked by DHS Secretary Noem's departure and Oklahoma Senator Mullin's potential role have stirred new political drama but provided no path forward on the Department of Homeland Security's funding freeze. Add to that a Congress increasingly split over war‑powers resolutions and the path to any Middle East supplemental, and the next few months look anything but predictable.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First up — Iran widens the war again, this time with drones striking neighboring Azerbaijan and injuring civilians. But instead of forcing regional governments to pressure Washington and Jerusalem into a ceasefire, Tehran's strategy may be backfiring — pushing more countries in the region further away and deepening Iran's isolation. Later in the show — the latest on the thousands of Americans stranded across the region as officials race to bring them home amid the expanding conflict.

Today's Headlines: State Rep. James Talarico won the Democratic Senate primary with 53% over Rep. Jasmine Crockett and will face either Sen. John Cornyn or Attorney General Ken Paxton, who are headed to a May 26 GOP runoff after neither cleared 50%. Rep. Dan Crenshaw was primaried from the right by state Rep. Steve Toth, while several incumbents were pushed into runoffs amid redistricting chaos, including Democrats Al Green and Christian Menefee facing each other and Republican Tony Gonzalez battling gun YouTuber Brandon Herrera. In other news, the Justice Department admitted it withheld 47,635 Jeffrey Epstein files after the Wall Street Journal flagged missing records. The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi and is seeking testimony from Epstein associates including Bill Gates and Leon Black. A federal judge ruled the IRS illegally shared taxpayer data with ICE in roughly 42,695 cases. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, already under scrutiny over a questionable $143 million DHS contract and internal leadership turmoil, faced more heat on Capitol Hill. ProPublica reports the Trump administration is loosening intelligence-sharing restrictions, aka making it easier to spy on us, without notifying Congress. Abroad, Iran's leadership transition is intensifying, with Mojtaba Khamenei emerging as a likely successor. President Donald Trump says the U.S. is “actively considering” its role after the conflict, as the Senate narrowly rejected a measure to require congressional approval for continued strikes.

In this episode of The Chris Abraham Show, Chris revisits an argument he first made more than two decades ago—an argument about American foreign policy, intervention, and the strange persistence of what John Quincy Adams once warned against: going abroad in search of monsters to destroy.The conversation begins with the latest escalation in the Middle East. Following a massive U.S. and Israeli strike campaign against Iran that targeted military infrastructure and senior leadership, the region once again finds itself at the edge of a wider war. Markets convulse, shipping lanes tighten, and the familiar arguments begin circulating: nuclear threats, rogue regimes, regional stability, and the hope that removing a dangerous government might somehow produce a safer political order.Chris has heard this argument before.In February of 2005, in the shadow of the Iraq invasion and the still-unfolding war in Afghanistan, he wrote a piece responding to a major debate inside American foreign policy circles. On one side were thinkers arguing that spreading democracy abroad would ultimately make the world safer. On the other were critics warning that intervention itself often creates the enemies it claims to fight.That debate never really ended. It simply moved from one country to another.In this episode Chris revisits that earlier essay and asks a simple but uncomfortable question: why do so many efforts to reshape other societies collapse once the outside power leaves?To explain the pattern, he introduces a metaphor that runs through the entire discussion: the pot on the stove.As long as heat is applied—troops, money, advisors, sanctions, intelligence networks, and political pressure—political systems can appear stable. But the moment the flame is reduced, societies tend to revert to their own deeper structures. The boiling stops. The underlying equilibrium returns.Afghanistan becomes the clearest example. Over two centuries three powerful empires—the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the United States—entered Afghanistan believing they could impose order or reshape the country's political system. Each eventually left, and each time the country returned to the same underlying networks of tribal, regional, and factional power.The labels changed—from mujahideen to Taliban—but the structure remained.The episode also explores what Chris calls the “strongman paradox.” In several Middle Eastern and North African states, authoritarian rulers like Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and Bashar al-Assad held together fragile political systems through centralized control. When those regimes collapsed or were removed, the countries did not automatically transform into liberal democracies. In many cases they fractured into militias, rival governments, and competing factions.This leads to a deeper philosophical question about sovereignty and political development. Can democracy be exported the way a country exports technology or institutions? Or do stable political systems emerge slowly from a society's own culture, history, and internal balance of power?Chris argues that modern American foreign policy often treats political systems as if they were installable software—something that can be dropped into a society once the “wrong” leadership has been removed. History repeatedly suggests that the reality is more complicated.The episode also includes a personal confession. Chris explains why he voted for Donald Trump three times—not because of personality or party loyalty, but because of one specific promise: no new foreign wars. That promise, he argues, represented a rare break from the bipartisan consensus that has dominated American foreign policy since the end of the Cold War.Whether that promise still holds is part of the broader question.

Today's Headlines: The first 2026 primaries are done. In North Carolina, Democrat Roy Cooper and Republican Michael Whatley advanced to face off for retiring Sen. Thom Tillis' seat. In Arkansas, Sen. Tom Cotton cruised to renomination, while Democrat Hallie Shoffner won with 77%. Texas was a little more dramatic. After historic turnout, a Dallas judge extended voting hours over polling confusion. Attorney General Ken Paxton — who's on the ballot — asked the Texas Supreme Court to block it, and the court agreed. Paxton now heads to a GOP runoff with Sen. John Cornyn after neither hit 50%. Abroad, the Iran war intensified after drones struck the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh. President Donald Trump said Iran's air defenses were “knocked out” and promised “big-scale” strikes. Sen. Richard Blumenthal warned of possible “boots on the ground.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested U.S. strikes were preemptive ahead of Israeli action — then tried to walk that back. Israel also hit a meeting of Iran's Council of Experts during its Supreme Leader selection. Stateside, reports say some commanders framed the war to troops as “God's divine plan.” FBI Director Kash Patel fired counterintelligence officials who had worked Trump-related cases, including Iran matters, and now faces whistleblower claims over handling of an ICE shooting investigation. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem endured a bruising hearing, with Sen. Tillis suggesting she resign. House Oversight is expanding its Epstein probe to include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and former Goldman Sachs counsel Kathy Ruemmler. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to expand France's nuclear arsenal, and Melania Trump chaired a UN Security Council meeting during the U.S. presidency rotation.

Today's Headlines: The Middle East conflict has rapidly expanded to 12 countries in under 72 hours, with six U.S. troops killed after an Iranian strike hit an operations center in Kuwait. President Donald Trump signaled the fighting is far from over, saying Operation “EPIC FURY” could last four to five weeks and will continue “as long as necessary.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that “the hardest hits are yet to come,” while Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine cautioned the operation will be “difficult and gritty” and likely involve additional U.S. losses. The State Department is urging Americans to evacuate more than a dozen countries, and U.S. cities are on heightened alert, according to FBI Director Kash Patel. In a twist, the Pentagon reportedly used Anthropic's Claude AI model in the Iran strikes — despite the administration recently clashing with the company and canceling contracts. Abroad, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Ukrainian drone experts will assist Gulf nations in intercepting Iranian drones, as Russia ramps up missile attacks on Ukraine. In Epstein news, federal prosecutors under Trump in 2019 reportedly took over New Mexico's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. The state's attorney general has now reopened the probe, and the House Oversight Committee released video testimony from Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile, the Justice Department is also expected to drop appeals defending Trump-era executive orders that targeted major law firms. And finally, Rep. Nancy Mace is under House Ethics Committee investigation over nearly $9,500 in alleged excess reimbursements.

In this episode of Excess Returns, we welcome back Andy Constan of Damped Spring Advisors for a wide-ranging discussion on geopolitical risk, AI and productivity, capital flows, credit markets, fiscal policy, and the shift from US to international equities. Andy walks through the framework he uses to evaluate uncertainty, from wars and geopolitical shocks to the long-term implications of artificial intelligence, and explains why capital markets and funding conditions may matter more than bold narratives. We also explore growth, inflation, Fed policy, and the structural case for global diversification in today's macro environment.Main topics coveredA practical framework for analyzing geopolitical shocks, including red flags, green flags, and how to evaluate information quality during times of uncertaintyHow markets are pricing the current conflict with Iran across oil, equities, bonds, gold, and volatilityWhy historical market performance after wars may offer limited predictive value due to small sample sizesHow to think about AI from a macro perspective, including GDP growth versus GDP share and who ultimately captures the gainsThe capital markets implications of massive AI-related capex and whether equity and credit markets can fund current spending plansGrowth, inflation, and the Fed: how fiscal stimulus, wealth effects, QT, and labor market trends are shaping the current macro backdropWhy Andy has shifted away from US assets toward international markets, including the role of bond yields and global risk parityA critical look at the Trump accounts proposal and the broader issue of fiscal deficits and capital allocationThe key risks Andy is watching over the next three to six months, especially around credit markets and funding conditionsTimestamps00:00 Introduction and overview of discussion topics01:01 Framework for evaluating geopolitical shocks and information quality11:46 Market reaction to the Iran conflict and asset pricing implications23:00 Why historical war data may not be reliable for market forecasting27:03 How to analyze AI's impact on productivity and economic growth37:00 AI capex, credit markets, and funding risks42:24 Growth, inflation, and Fed policy in the current cycle49:20 The case for international equities over US markets56:20 Trump accounts, fiscal policy, and capital allocation01:02:23 What Andy is watching most closely in the months ahead

Last week, the political battle lines were crystal clear. At the State of the Union, Donald Trump issued a challenge: The first duty of government is to protect American citizens. If you agree, stand up. Many Democrats remained seated. Today's episode connects that moment to border policy, Iranian nationals released into the U.S., sanctuary city clashes, counterterrorism warnings, and escalating tensions with Iran. We examine the claims: 1,272 Iranian nationals released under Joe Biden 2 million “gotaways” 18,000 known or suspected terrorists identified by federal officials 6,000 reportedly issued Social Security numbers And we ask: If retaliation comes — who owns the consequences? Opening Tease (On-Air Hook) They were asked to choose: American safety or illegal immigration. They stayed seated. Now the stakes have gone global — and the threat could be domestic.

We talk what sabotage looks like at home and abroad. What has happened with the infiltration in our governments? Who are some of the names to watch for? And, what does sabotage look like abroad? We ask the questions.

Here's the truth: you absolutely can move to a country where English is not the first language — and yes, you can get a job abroad if you only speak English. The real question isn't if it's possible. It's where and how.In this episode, we break down:The European countries where English-only professionals have the best chances (Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia, Ireland)Which industries are most open to English speakers (tech, multinational corporations, startups, finance, consulting)The role of remote work and how it changes everythingWhere the local language is still essential (France, Italy, Spain, parts of Central Europe)Tourism, hospitality, and teaching English as entry pointsPractical strategies to increase your odds of getting hiredYou'll also learn why English might be enough to start — but learning the local language can dramatically expand your long-term options.If you've been holding back because you're “not fluent enough,” this episode will help you think more strategically about your move.Because sometimes the language barrier isn't the biggest obstacle — your assumptions are.

What does it mean to lead a ‘British' school in an international context today? If your school promotes ‘global citizenship' but struggles to feel truly grounded in its local community, this conversation is essential. Shane is joined by headteacher and author Simon Probert, who argues that the future success of our sector depends on moving beyond a ‘rootless' global identity. He introduces the powerful concept of ‘rooted cosmopolitanism,' building a school identity that is deeply connected to its local place and culture while maintaining its global outlook. You'll learn why the term ‘global citizen' can be problematic and loaded with privilege, and how to intentionally localise your curriculum, traditions, and community practices. The episode provides practical strategies for fostering genuine belonging, implementing effective co-leadership models between international and local leaders, and designing inclusive staff cultures that bridge cultural divides.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to dissect the now tangible proof that Trump has lost touch with political reality. Beginning with a marathon State of the Union that was less a governing document than a 1-hour-and-47-minute exercise in self-mythology, aimed at his fan base, where reality was declared perfect even as polls told a different story. That disconnect between performance and public mood becomes sharper in Minneapolis, where a legitimate COVID-era fraud case that led to dozens of convictions was transformed by the ICE killings, tragedies so unpopular that it could cost Trump an easy political win. Now, JD Vance is dispatched to sell the punishment and absorb the blowback. Abroad, the stakes escalate: brinkmanship with Iran risks blowback Trump once vowed to avoid, while the grinding war in Ukraine—which he promised to end in a day—remains unresolved and increasingly perilous.

Headlines keep colliding: sudden airspace closures, a foreign leader urging new wars, and a deluge of Epstein revelations that raise more questions than answers. We cut through the noise to map the pattern—who benefits from distraction, why certain names stay hidden, and how selective secrecy corrodes the rule of law and our shared sense of justice. With Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, we examine the stakes of the Epstein files beyond the horror of child sex trafficking: alleged blackmail, influence peddling, insider trading, and a culture of impunity for elites. We contrast how local law enforcement handles similar crimes with how federal power seems to shield the well-connected, and we explore what that double standard does to public trust. On the domestic front, we look at job-market friction, surging applicant pools, and why rising gold and silver hint at dollar risk and policy uncertainty—economic signals that don't match the official happy talk. Abroad, we confront the moral and strategic costs of Gaza, U.S. complicity in escalating violence, and renewed talk of strikes on Iran. “Limited” actions rarely stay limited; supply routes, oil flows, and regional deterrence hang in the balance. We discuss the very real risk of miscalculation and what it would take to step back from the brink. Finally, we outline a path that could actually restore confidence: protect victims but fully name co-conspirators, fire officials who misled Congress, prosecute crimes without fear or favor, and prioritize diplomacy over performative force. If you're tired of euphemisms and ready for clarity, this conversation connects the dots and offers a concrete checklist for accountability at home and restraint abroad. Listen, share with someone who cares about justice, and leave a review telling us the one action you most want leaders to take now.
