Kdo z Evropanů letěl s Donaldem Trumpem v prezidentském letounu Air Force One? Jedině Maroš Šefčovič, slovenský eurokomisař pro mezinárodní obchod. Právě on dostal za úkol dohodnout se s USA na tom vůbec nejobtížnějším, tedy aby za pomoci vysokých cel nezlikvidovaly evropský byznys. Jak to dokázal a jací jsou Trumpovi nejbližší lidé, kteří na Šefčoviče zpočátku chrlili urážky? A jak se jednání s Američany liší od těch s Čínou, která Šefčovič vede právě teď?

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump returning from his disastrous trip to Ireland as things instantly get even worse. Trump held a bizarre impromptu press conference before boarding Air Force One and continued ranting on the flight home, as the situation in the Middle East escalated further with another tanker strike, reported Houthi attacks on refineries, and growing concerns over Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure. Meiselas breaks down Trump's return to the White House and the rapidly deteriorating situation unfolding around him.

//The Wire//1800Z September 14, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: DAMAGE TO SAUDI PIPELINE WORSE THAN INITIALLY SUSPECTED. SAUDI FORCES PRESENT INDICATIONS OF MILITARY ESCALATION IN YEMEN, STRIKES IN SANAA REPORTED. COSTCO BEGINS RATIONING OF KIRKLAND BRAND MOTOR OIL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Saudi Arabia: Over the weekend the scale of the damage to Saudi petroleum facilities has become more clear, with high resolution satellite imagery confirming catastrophic damage at several refineries and pumping stations. To the south, the refineries close to Yemen suffered the most damage. Farther north, the East-West pipeline is also much more heavily damaged than disclosed at first, and early estimates indicate a recovery time of several weeks at minimum.Overnight, Saudi forces retaliated by conducting strikes in Sanaa. Locals report Houthi positions being struck in the Bir Zehr neighborhood near the airport, along with other sites around the capital city.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - While taking questions onboard Air Force One, President Trump was asked about Flock cameras and similar technologies. During his response, he stated that he "likes" the surveillance sensors.Analyst Comment: This is the first concrete statement indicating the current administration's stance on a major issue that has swept the nation, in the lead up to the midterms.USA: Around the nation, the impacts of the energy crisis are beginning to manifest with random shortages. Costco announced that they would be rationing purchases of motor oil, limiting purchases of their 10-quart full synthetic motor oil to two units per person, per week.Analyst Comment: Even since the early days of the war, random shortages of petroleum products have quietly been increasing in severity. Many manufacturers have changed blends (of synthetic products), and many commercial vendors have had a hard time keeping certain weights of motor oil in stock. Now that a major retailer at the consumer level is impacted, other vendors will probably follow suit.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Within Saudi Arabia, indications and warnings are growing suggesting a major Saudi campaign against the Houthis is developing. Troop movement and various armored columns have been observed along the Saudi border regions with Yemen since the United States declined to become involved in the Saudi/Houthi conflict. It's too soon to tell if the Saudis are going to launch a proper ground invasion; right now they are mostly just staging and conducting airstrikes in Sanaa.However, the United States is not fully hands-off with this conflict either; last night planewatchers observed a sharp increase in cargo flights to Camp Lemonnier...which is the central hub for most American activities in the region. This base, is also extremely close to Yemen, and well within range of even short range munitions. As the crow flies, less than a hundred miles of airspace separate this base from the Houthi missile launch sites along Yemen's Red Sea coastline. As a result, it is very likely that the United States is planning for escalations in the region, which could result in very substantial American positions being targeted. Since the Saudis have begun bombing Sanaa once again, Houthi targeting will continue to hit Saudi petroleum industry, but if the US is to become roped into this more directly, it will probably involve the American presence in Djbouti.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

On the morning of September 11, 2001, the United States came under attack. As President George W. Bush was hurried aboard Air Force One while on travel to Florida, the White House was evacuated amid fears that another hijacked aircraft could be heading toward the nation's capital, likely targeting the White House itself. Twenty-five years later, three people who experienced that fateful day from unique positions close to the president and the White House share their memories. In this special episode of The White House 1600 Sessions, White House Historical Association President Stewart McLaurin speaks with veteran ABC News correspondent Ann Compton, who traveled aboard Air Force One as President Bush was moved across the country; Gary Walters, the longtime White House chief usher who remained at the Executive Residence as the Pentagon burned in the distance; and Anita McBride, then a special assistant to the president, who fled the White House before helping establish an improvised operation nearby so that the work of the presidency could continue. Together, they recall the confusion and fear of those first hours, the evacuation of the White House, the extraordinary security surrounding Air Force One, and President Bush's return to Washington that evening. They also reflect on the leadership, humanity and national unity that emerged from one of the darkest days in American history. Their first-person accounts offer a rare look inside the White House on September 11 and preserve these important memories for a generation with no living recollection of that day. The White House 1600 Sessions, presented by the White House Historical Association, explores the history, untold stories and personal accounts of America's most iconic residence and office. Through conversations with historians and eyewitnesses to history, the podcast opens the doors to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, because it is not only the President's House, but the People's House.

Today's Headlines: It was a wild Labor Day weekend for Trump who spent the holiday posting AI images of himself as the Hulk, on the moon, with George Washington, and a map renaming New Mexico to "New America" and stepped off Air Force One as a brunette. Meanwhile, Tweedles Dum and Dee, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff visited Kyiv for peace talks with Zelensky, raved about how respectful Putin has been to them personally, and promised announcements "in the coming weeks" before winter. In semi-related news, the Russia backed far-right AFD party won a landslide in Germany's Saxony-Anhalt regional election with 78% turnout, forming the first far-right state government since the original Nazis, with two more German regional elections coming September 20th. Canada's 50% retaliatory tariffs on over 700 American imports went into effect at midnight, doubling what they already had in place, because liberation day is the gift that keeps on giving. In disturbing news, the Tate brothers, picked up another set of Romanian indictments for trafficking minors, money laundering, and witness intimidation while sitting in Florida custody awaiting potential extradition to the UK, and seven Epstein survivors sued hairstylist Frederic Fekkai — named by Massie last week — alleging his salon was the "epicenter for victim grooming," with one of his locations inside a store owned by Les Wexner, also named by Massie, so the connections keep connecting. And finally, Hunter Biden announced a meme coin called $LAPTOP launching on Coinbase, with 20% of proceeds going to people who lost money on Trump's meme coin, which is something.

What happened inside Air Force One as America came under attack—and inside the Situation Room a decade later as the U.S. closed in on Osama bin Laden? As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell gives us hisfirsthand account of both defining moments and everything in between. Morell was President George W. Bush's intelligence briefer on September 11th and later helped President Obama assess whether bin Laden was really hiding in Pakistan before the raid that killed him. Morell recounts what Bush was asking as Air Force One moved between secure locations, how he identified al-Qaeda as the likely perpetrator and why bin Laden was able to escape from Afghanistan. He also takes us inside the deliberations over the Abbottabad raid—including the warning he gave Obama about how uncertain the intelligence remained. The conversation examines the failures that preceded 9/11 and what the Clinton and Bush administrations could have done differently. Morell also addresses conspiracy theories about that day, why bin Laden would view himself as partly successful given the state of the world 25 years later, how 9/11 should be taught to a new generation, and the biggest threat facing the country today.

Original air date: August 13, 2026 By now you've heard that when Donald Trump left the NATO summit in Turkey last month, he was clandestinely transferred from Air Force One to an alternative plane to avert a credible Iranian threat. It appears many of his cabinet members were left on Air Force One. Now new leaks make the story look darker: It turns out Trump brought several of the aides who are personally closest to him on the safe alternative flight. This, even as he left numerous journalists on the original plane, which effectively turned them into a decoy that might have been targeted. None were informed of the operation. It all perfectly captures Trump's contempt for the media, so we talked to Margaret Sullivan, author of the excellent press-critiquing Substack “American Crisis.” She explains why this saga is so irregular, why the media faces a moment of uncommon challenges, and why journalists often won't directly confront authoritarianism, even when it gravely threatens their own institution.

On that terrible morning, four commercial aircraft were hijacked and used incoordinated terrorist attacks: two struck the World Trade Center in New York City, one crashed into the Pentagon, and UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 93 went down in Pennsylvania after passengers and crew fought back. Nearly 3,000 innocentpeople lost their lives in the deadliest terrorist attack in American history, a tragedy whose impact continues to be felt a quarter-century later.Drawing upon the testimony of more than 60 eyewitnessesto history, many of whom had never previously spoken publicly, ROBINSON takes readers inside the crucial 368 minutes that followed the attacks. From AIR FORCE ONE and the skies over America to the PENTAGON, NORAD, the WHITE HOUSE, military command centers, and communities suddenly overwhelmed by diverted aircraft, Ash and Honor offers a gripping and often astonishing account of the confusion, courage, fear, and split-second decisions that shaped one of the darkest days in American history.In our conversation, ROBINSON sheds new light on the actions and responses of PRESIDENT GEORGE W.

That is one of the remarkable stories we explore in this compelling conversation.As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember with profound sorrow the nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken that day, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice whilerushing toward danger to save others.

When President Trump left Turkey, the White House said publicly that he was boarding the old Air Force One — but that plane was a decoy. In a highly elaborate escape plan prompted by a credible Iranian threat, Trump was secretly moved through a catering cart to a military aircraft, leaving passengers unknowingly flying on the decoy plane. Today, Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, details the operation's risks and what it reveals about how seriously the administration views the danger to the president.

A reported Iranian assassination threat against Donald Trump led to an extraordinary security operation following a NATO summit in Turkey, according to new reporting discussed in this episode. The account describes a complex deception involving multiple aircraft, a decoy Air Force One, and an effort to conceal the president’s actual movements from potential adversaries.The story has sparked debate over presidential security, government secrecy, and the seriousness of threats directed at the commander in chief. The hosts argue that the operation demonstrates the extent of the risks facing the president and highlights the challenges involved in protecting national leaders from foreign threats. In this episode Ben examines reporting from the Washington Post describing how security officials allegedly moved Donald Trump from a publicly observed aircraft to a separate military jet using an airport catering truck as part of a broader deception plan. They discuss the reported Iranian threat, media reaction to the operation, the role of secrecy in presidential protection, and the broader national security implications raised by the incident. Topics Covered: Reported Iranian assassination threat against Donald Trump Security operation following the NATO summit in Turkey Use of a decoy Air Force One aircraft and alternate transport methods Reporting from the Washington Post and coverage by CNN Debate over secrecy, deception, and presidential security protocols Broader concerns about Iran and U.S. national security The Bottom Line: Ben Ferguson argues that the reported operation demonstrates how seriously U.S. security officials viewed the threat environment surrounding Donald Trump and defends the use of secrecy and deception as necessary tools for presidential protectionPlease Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
