President Trump just sent shockwaves through the Middle East after reportedly unloading on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's strike in Beirut — right as a potential U.S.-Iran peace deal may be close. According to Axios, Trump said Netanyahu has “no fing judgment,” while Fox reporting says Trump asked him, “What the f are you doing?” as the White House tries to keep the Iran deal alive.In this video, Professor Nez breaks down why Trump is furious, why the Beirut strike could threaten the deal, what this means for Israel, Iran, Hezbollah, and the wider region, and why this may be one of the most consequential foreign policy moments of Trump's presidency.Is Trump about to bring peace home — or is the deal being sabotaged before it is even signed?For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez✅ Reach out to me: https://bio.site/professornez✅ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/✅ Check out our Official Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@professornezclips▶ Support the Channel and Buy us a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/professornezEducational Commentary & Original AnalysisThis channel presents educational, lecture-style analysis created by a university professor and educator.

The White House is not giving up its push to preempt states from passing their own AI laws, something it tried and failed to accomplish last year. We'll get into it on today's “Marketplace Tech Bytes: Week in Review.” Plus it looks like federal regulators might actually put some rules on prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket. And Siri AI is coming to an Apple device near you later this year, as long as you're not in Europe. But first, back to that renewed attempt to pass federal guidelines and preempt state-level AI laws. The Trump administration tried and failed to get a similar provision into a defense spending bill last year, then signed an executive order that hasn't really slowed states down much. So what's different about this newest push? Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Maria Curi, tech policy reporter at Axios, to learn more.

Nick welcomes journalist Monica Eng back to the podcast to talk about some of the stories she’s been covering for Axios Chicago, including the latest developments in Chicago politics, Governor Pritzker’s views on data centers and their environmental impact, Pilates classes that can help get you in shape, the growing concerns surrounding e-scooter safety, great local food, Lake Michigan dips, and more. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick for another round of kids’ TV trivia, where they figure out who Skeeter Valentine is and come to the conclusion that That’s So Raven is basically The Dead Zone for kids. They also chat about the differences between wallabies and kangaroos, Chicago’s brutal weather, and a variety of other wonderfully random topics. [Ep 463]

Chicago police investigate a cross burning and potential hate crime in Grant Park. Governor Pritzker says he's open to calling a special legislative session to reach a Bears stadium deal. Former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel pedals presidential aspirations on a bike tour of New Hampshire.

C dans l'air du 11 juin 2026 - Iran : pourquoi Trump reprend la guerre ?La Coupe du monde, grand-messe du football mondial, rattrapée par la géopolitique. En accueillant l'événement, Donald Trump a tenté d'en faire un symbole d'unité nationale et de puissance retrouvée, mais l'actualité internationale est venue troubler la fête. Une nouvelle escalade entre Washington et Téhéran, après de nouveaux bombardements contre l'Iran ce jeudi, a fragilisé encore un peu plus le cessez-le-feu instauré. Donald Trump a, encore une fois, menacé de frapper "très fort" l'Iran et de s'en prendre à ses infrastructures pétrolières, dont l'île de Kharg, son principal terminal pétrolier, "dans un avenir assez proche". La compétition a été perturbée par des tensions diplomatiques concrètes. L'arbitre international somalien, Omar Artan, qui devait participer à l'événement, a été refoulé à la frontière, déclenchant une polémique sur l'impartialité et le climat d'accueil. Les joueurs iraniens, eux, ont évolué sous étroite surveillance, soumis à des conditions de séjour strictes et à un encadrement renforcé. Dans ce climat explosif, le rôle des médias s'est révélé central. Dans une interview, Marc Caputo, journaliste pour Axios, revient sur la montée en puissance spectaculaire du média depuis le début de la crise iranienne. Leur méthode : des informations rapides, très ciblées, souvent issues de sources politiques de premier plan. Cette stratégie leur a permis de devenir incontournables dans le suivi du conflit. Plus encore, certaines révélations publiées par Axios ont eu des effets immédiats sur les marchés. Des annonces liées aux discussions diplomatiques ou aux risques d'escalade ont provoqué des variations notables des prix du pétrole. Cette tension nationale se lit aussi loin des stades. À Portland, dans le Maine, nous sommes allés à la rencontre des "ice watchers", ces citoyens qui surveillent et signalent les opérations des services fédéraux de l'immigration. Dans cette ville portuaire réputée progressiste, des réseaux d'alerte se sont organisés pour prévenir les communautés migrantes et documenter les interventions. Ces "ice watchers" expriment également une forme de désillusion politique auprès notamment des démocrates, qui apparaissent paradoxalement comme favoris des élections de mi-mandat, malgré une visibilité limitée. À quel point l'escalade entre Washington et Téhéran peut-elle avoir un impact sur la Coupe du monde ? Un média comme Axios peut-il devenir un acteur du conflit entre les Etats-Unis et l'Iran ? Comment les démocrates peuvent-ils être donnés favoris des élections de mi-mandat à venir ?

VOV1 - Căng thẳng tại khu vực tiếp tục gia tăng, sau khi Tổng thống Trăm cáo buộc Iran bắn rơi trực thăng Mỹ trên vịnh Oman và đe dọa tiến hành trả đũa.Ngoại trưởng Iran Abbas Araghchi tối qua đã lên tiếng phản ứng với đe dọa của Tổng thống Donald Trump liên quan vụ trực thăng Mỹ bị bắn rơi tại vịnh Oman. Viết trên mạng xã hội X, ông Araghchi khẳng định Iran muốn nói chuyện bằng ngôn ngữ ngoại giao. Nhưng nếu không thể theo đuổi giải pháp ngoại giao, Iran sẽ chứng minh cho thấy giới thế giới thấy người Iran cũng có thể “nói chuyện bằng ngôn ngữ khác”, tức sẵng sàng đối đầu quân sự.   Về vụ trực thăng Mỹ bị bắn rơi, Ngoại trưởng Araghchi cho rằng đây có thể là tai nạn ngoài ý muốn. Ông Araghchi cảnh báo việc các lực lượng nước ngoài hoạt động gần Iran, tiềm ẩn rủi ro lớn về an ninh. Để giảm thiểu nguy cơ, giải pháp tốt nhất là nhanh chóng rút các lực lượng nước ngoài ra khỏi khu vực.      Theo các nguồn tin Mỹ là Axios và The New York Times, máy bay không người lái Shahed của Iran đã bắn hạ chiếc trực thăng Apache của không quân Hoa Kỳ, khi chiếc máy bay này đang làm nhiệm vụ tuần tra gần eo Hormuz hồi sáng qua. 2 phi công lái trực thăng đã được một tàu mặt nước không người lái của hải quân Mỹ giải cứu khoảng 2h sau đó. Các phi công không bị thương và trong tình trạng sức khỏe ổn định. Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump tối qua cáo buộc Iran bắn rơi chiếc trực thăng và tuyên bố sẽ trả đũa.  Vụ trực thăng quân sự bị bắn hạ tại vịnh Oman, xảy ra trong bối cảnh khá nhạy cảm, khi Iran vừa có loạt cuộc đối đầu hỏa lực ác liệt với cả Israel và lực lượng Mỹ trong khu vực. Giai đoạn cuối tháng 5 và đầu tháng 6, lực lượng Mỹ tuyên bố tấn công nhiều mục tiêu Iran trên vịnh Ba Tư và gần eo Hormuz với lý do “tự vệ”. Iran đáp trả bằng việc phóng tên lửa và máy bay không người lái tập kích các căn cứ Mỹ đặt tại Kuwait và Bahrain.Ngay sau khi đối đầu Mỹ-Iran vừa lắng xuống, đụng độ ác liệt đã bùng phát trở lại giữa Iran và Israel, quốc gia đã cùng Mỹ phát động chiến tranh chống Iran ngày 28/2. Vệ binh Cách mạng Hồi giáo Iran (IRGC) đêm 7/6 phóng tên lửa đạn đạo tấn công Israel, với lý do đáp trả vụ không quân Israel tập kích ngoại ô thủ đô Beirut của Lebanon, động thái mà Tehran mô tả là sự vi phạm nghiêm trọng lệnh ngừng bắn Mỹ-Iran ngày 8/4. Hai bên sau đó tiến hành nhiều cuộc tấn công “ăn miếng trả miếng” trong sáng 8/6, trước khi cùng tuyên bố dừng giao tranh đầu giờ chiều cùng ngay do sức ép từ Tổng thống Mỹ.Tuy nhiên, trong hai ngày qua, quân đội Israel tiếp tục tấn công dữ dội vào Lebanon, gây thương vong nghiêm trọng về người. Theo Bộ Y tế Lebanon, chỉ riêng các cuộc không kích của Israel vào khu vực phía Nam Lebanon ngày hôm qua, đã khiến tổng cộng 17 người chết và hàng chục người khác bị thương.Truyền thông và giới phân tích khu vực lo ngại động thái leo thang của Israel, có nguy cơ khiến giao tranh bùng phát trở lại, do Iran nhiều lần cảnh báo lệnh ngừng bắn phải bao gồm cả Lebanon./.VOV Ai CậpNgoại trưởng Iran Abbas Araghchi. Ảnh: Reuters

Tucker Carlson has remained a highly visible and polarizing figure, with several notable developments in the past few days across media, politics, and his business ventures. On the media front, Carlson has continued to push out new episodes and long-form interviews on his digital platforms, especially via X, where he regularly publishes hour-plus conversations with political figures, culture warriors, and controversial commentators. Recent installments have focused on recurring themes in his post-Fox identity: criticism of U.S. foreign policy, especially around Ukraine and Russia; attacks on establishment Republicans and Democrats alike; and arguments that legacy media misleads the public while he positions himself as an outsider voice. Outlets like Axios and The New York Times have continued to frame him as one of the most influential independent right‑wing broadcasters, emphasizing that his reach on social media frequently rivals or exceeds cable news audiences. In terms of business and professional developments, Carlson has kept building out his own media ecosystem. According to reporting from the Wall Street Journal and Semafor, he has been working to deepen the infrastructure around “Tucker Carlson Network”–style content: subscription offerings, direct‑to‑consumer video, and partnerships that let him bypass traditional television. Tech and media reporters have noted that his strategy is emblematic of a broader shift where high‑profile cable hosts exit legacy platforms and convert their personal brands into stand‑alone digital channels. Industry analysts at outlets like The Hollywood Reporter describe Carlson as a test case for how far a single personality can go relying on social engagement and paid memberships rather than a conventional network. Politically, Carlson's recent commentary continues to reverberate inside Republican circles. Politico and NBC News report that Republican candidates and influencers still aggressively court his approval, even though he no longer has a nightly Fox show. At the same time, Democrats and many mainstream commentators continue to highlight his past segments on immigration, race, and January 6 as examples of rhetoric they argue fuels extremism, keeping him in the middle of ongoing debates over media radicalization and disinformation. His earlier interview with Vladimir Putin, for example, is still being cited by critics and supporters as they argue over whether he is offering valuable dissent or serving as a conduit for authoritarian propaganda. Reactions to Carlson's latest monologues tend to fall along clear partisan lines. Conservative outlets like The Daily Caller, which he co‑founded, and other right‑leaning publications often amplify his critiques of the Biden administration and the national security state, framing him as one of the few figures willing to challenge bipartisan consensus. Liberal and centrist news organizations such as CNN, MSNBC, and The Washington Post frequently feature media analysts who portray him as emblematic of a post‑truth environment, scrutinizing his fact‑checking record and the impact of his narratives on public opinion. Carlson also continues to intersect with other high‑profile figures. Republican politicians, conservative influencers, and foreign political leaders appear on his show or reference his segments to reach his audience, while late‑night hosts, podcasters, and rival commentators regularly use him as a foil or punchline. This cycle of mutual amplification keeps his name woven into broader conversations about the future of the GOP, nationalism versus traditional conservatism, and the power of personality‑driven media.

The episode identifies a growing governance gap as a central structural issue for MSPs and IT service providers, driven by rapid AI adoption through subscription-based tools and platforms. Rather than being introduced as controlled, IT-led initiatives, AI services are entering organizations piecemeal—often through end users and business units—undermining established accountability and management practices. This dynamic is exemplified by ConnectWise's dismantling of its ASIO platform in favor of a new AI-native operating layer designed to unify PSA, RMM, security, and automation functions, and by clients independently layering on AI-powered tools without centralized oversight or cost control. A primary example of ungoverned risk involves unsustainable AI cost exposure. According to Axios and TechCrunch, an enterprise amassed around $500 million in a single month on Anthropic's Claude due to unlimited, unmonitored usage. Freshworks' survey of over 12,000 IT professionals quantifies the industry's operational friction, finding mid-market companies waste about 25% of AI budgets on complexity, for a total of $16 billion in annual waste. Despite 89% of respondents planning to increase AI spend, only 15% have actively integrated these tools into daily workflows—revealing widespread governance lag behind adoption. Supporting developments highlight the breadth and persistence of this governance deficit. Organizations such as the Linux Foundation have responded by forming the Tokenomics Foundation to standardize AI cost tracking. Meanwhile, AI tool adoption is occurring outside IT, leading to agent sprawl, unclear permissions, and cost scaling linked to agent behavior rather than headcount. Roll-up strategies in adjacent sectors—such as Thrive Holdings' $1 billion commitment to consolidate accounting firms under an AI operational platform—demonstrate capital's move toward operationally governed, AI-enabled service models, suggesting a parallel risk for IT providers. For MSPs and IT leaders, these trends underscore the urgency of operationalizing AI governance as a billable, contractual service rather than an informal or embedded support task. Risks include absorbing liability for unmanaged AI usage, exacerbated operational complexity, and relinquishing margin to platform or capital entrants. Practical steps involve conducting AI tool audits, inventorying agent access and spend, instituting usage controls, and reframing account segmentation around governance and liability exposure. MSPs who define, price, and contract for governance can mitigate inherited risk and avoid being displaced by vendors or capital-backed consolidators. 00:00 ConnectWise Rebuilds  03:59 Ungoverned Agents 06:06 Roll-Up Warning 09:38 Why Do We Care?    Supported by:  Moovila  ScalePad

Today's Headlines: Trump's Meet the Press interview derailed when Kristen Welker told him to his face that he lost in 2020, but not before he confirmed on the record that he wants January 6th defendants who assaulted police officers compensated, called them victims of "dirty cops," denied ever promising no new wars, and compared Iran favorably to Vietnam. Coincidentally, a Vietnam veteran filed a lawsuit over the UFC fight night at the White House, arguing it wasn't authorized by Congress and benefits Trump directly since he bought UFC parent company stock while promoting the event, with the Lincoln Memorial scheduled to host fighter weigh-ins, which is a sentence that exists. Trump will also be at the Knicks game inconveniencing everyone with TSA screening and canceled watch parties. On the war beat, Iran fired missiles at Israel for the first time since the April ceasefire, Israel bombed Beirut, oil spiked 3.6%, and Trump responded by calling Fox News to criticize Israel and telling Axios he was phoning Netanyahu because "each of them had their fun" — not the standard framework for analyzing a missile exchange. The May jobs report came in better than expected with 172,000 payrolls added, but markets dipped anyway, prompting Trump to post that "stocks should go up not down, that's the way it was for 200 years," which is not how markets work. And finally, a former Social Security Administration executive blew the whistle on a DOGE-backed plan to mark 2.7 million living people — citizens, permanent residents, teenagers, senior citizens — as dead in federal databases to make life impossible for immigrants and funnel them into Social Security offices where they could be arrested, which didn't go through, though last year officials did successfully file 6,000 people into the Death Master File, some of whom had to physically show up to prove they were alive.

In a program devoted to the topic of AI, Ralph welcomes first, Tyson Slocum, director of the energy group at Public Citizen, who tells us about the local backlash against the construction of data centers. Then New York Times climate writer, David Wallace-Wells, explains how the Big Tech CEOs did not count on human beings possibly rising up against them and their machines.Tyson Slocum is director of Public Citizen's Energy Program, covering the regulation of petroleum, natural gas and power markets. He serves on the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's “Energy & Environmental Markets Advisory Committee,” and frequently intervenes before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) representing the interests of household consumers.The basic question is they (Big Tech companies) are developing essentially governmental powers— governmental powers— not market powers or corporate powers. They've reached a level now where they are our government, the corporate government. And we have to escalate our urgencies to that level. It's more than just the hour is late. The hour is over. So we have to go back and respond with a completely unprecedented level of public interest, standards, etc., including whether this technology (AI) should be allowed at all.Ralph NaderI definitely see that we are in a speculative bubble. That bubble will burst. And folks within the AI industry, like Sam Altman, have been very clear where they have publicly said, when the bubble breaks, we expect to get a financial bailout because our AI applications are so important to the national interest.Tyson SlocumAnd the backlash to data centers isn't just about, oh, I'm concerned about my power rates going up or I'm concerned about the noise or the water usage. It's also a civil rights and human rights issue where people are saying, I don't like this vision that Big Tech is laying out for us that is going to be produced in this building down the street from our community.Tyson SlocumDavid Wallace-Wells is a columnist and staff writer at the New York Times, where he writes a weekly newsletter on climate change, technology, and the future of the planet. He is the author of the book, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. His recent feature in the New York Times Magazine is “AI Populism is Here. And No One is Ready.”Just over the last six months, there's been a huge surge in anti-AI and in particular anti-data center organizing and activism in the U.S. And you can see that on the ground where you see huge crowds coming to town halls to protest new data centers that are being proposed. You see some towns that have approved those data centers literally having their entire city council voted out of office as a result. And you see it in these surveys where within the span of just a few months. Huge sentiment flips among the American public from being basically agnostic about AI with some misgivings and some optimism to pretty striking majority opposition to the technology and the infrastructure build out that it requires.David Wallace-WellsThis (AI) is a technological revolution that has been designed and is being built by an extremely small number of people with very particular idiosyncratic, in certain ways, I think, somewhat sociopathic worldviews.David Wallace-WellsNews 6/5/26* Our top story this week comes from Congress, where the House has, at long last, successfully pushed through a War Powers Resolution on Iran. As NPR notes “The resolution had originally been set for a vote two weeks ago, but Republican leaders sent House members home early for a May recess when it appeared the largely Democratic-backed measure had enough Republican votes for passage.” However, this did not substantially erode Republican support and the resolution passed by a margin of 215 to 208, with four Republicans, led by Thomas Massie, voting for a cessation of hostilities. The measure now heads to the Senate, where Democrats have been pressing the matter as well but face an uphill battle, and even if it passes through the upper chamber, President Trump is likely to veto the measure if it arrives on his desk. Moreover, House progressives are now pushing a new War Powers Resolution, this one focusing on Lebanon. POLITICO reports Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib forced a vote this Thursday on a resolution calling for the removal of U.S. troops from Lebanon in seven days, despite opposition from the leadership of her own party. The resolution failed by a wide margin, but still garnered a respectable 92 votes, including support from Congressman Massie. Symbolic though they may be, these votes show a growing backlash to Trump's military adventurism abroad, particularly in the Middle East. With oil prices continuing to rise, this discontent shows no sign of abating.* The main news this week however were the primaires. Tuesday saw a wave of major Democratic primaries across the country. Faiz Shakir, longtime advisor to Bernie Sanders and Executive Director of More Perfect Union, reports that election night was a “clean sweep for Bernie's endorsements” with five out of five of these candidates set to win the Democratic nomination in their respective races. One race Shakir highlighted was Sam Forstag's bid for Congress in Montana's 1st congressional district. Forstag, a firefighter – technically a “smokejumper,” who parachutes into remote areas to extinguish wildfires – earned the endorsements of AOC, Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal and others, as well as many unions, in addition to that of Senator Sanders. Meanwhile in the Montana Senate race, Alani Bankhead has triumphed in the Democratic primary. According to Semafor, “Republicans suspect Bankhead will essentially cede the race to [independent candidate Seth] Bodnar (despite her denials), which would make the general election more competitive.” Bodnar is the former president of the University of Montana and his campaign is backed by former Democratic Senator Jon Tester. One recent poll of a head-to-head match up of Bodnar against Republican nominee Kurt Alme shows the candidates in a dead heat.* In New Jersey, two more Sanders-endorsed candidates have emerged victorious: Analilia Mejia and Dr. Adam Hamawy. Mejia won the special election to replace now-Governor Mikie Sherill in April, beating out former Congressman Tom Malinowksi, the heavy favorite in that race. Mejia is very likely to win this seat again in November, as she already defeated the Republican nominee, Joe Hathaway, in the special election. This from MorristownGreen. Perhaps more surprisingly is the victory of Dr. Adam Hamawy. Now a plastic surgeon, he has distinguished himself for his heroism: saving the life of now-Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth when her Blackhawk helicopter was shot down in Iraq, serving as a first responder to the 9/11 attacks, and most recently, for his work in Gaza. As the Intercept puts it, “In 2024, [Hamawy]...went to Gaza to provide medical aid to Palestinians wounded by Israeli forces and was temporarily trapped there after Israel closed the Rafah border crossing. When the crossing was reopened, Hamawy was among a small group who refused to leave on demands that more medical workers be let in.” Hamawy's progressive policy platform includes support for Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and opposing military aid to Israel. He is almost guaranteed to win this D+13 seat, succeeding Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman.* The candidates Bernie endorsed in California also prevailed, with Randy Villegas poised to win his primary in the state's 22nd congressional district and Jane Kim winning her race for California Insurance Commissioner, but the results from the state overall are more mixed. As of now, Republican Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton leads in the count, with centrist Democrat and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra in a close second and progressive billionaire Tom Steyer in third. However, as the count continues, Steyer's margin continues to improve while Hilton's ebbs away – meaning the runoff could end up being Becerra vs. Steyer, though it is still too early to say. A similar dynamic is unfolding in Los Angeles, where incumbent Mayor Karen Bass is ensured a slot in the general election while her opponents – Councilwoman Nithya Raman to her left and former reality TV star Spencer Pratt to her right – continue to duke it out for the second slot. With California's notoriously glacial counting pace and the LA Times reporting that millions of ballots remain to be counted, all we can do is watch and wait.* However, up in Minnesota, another Bernie-backed candidate is on the road to victory. On Tuesday, Peggy Flanagan, the Lieutenant Governor seeking the Senate seat being vacated by Amy Klobuchar, overwhelmingly won the endorsement of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. Her closest rival, Congresswoman Angie Craig, did not even bother to attend the party convention. While Craig decried the supposed anti-democratic nature of a party convention endorsement, Flanagan posted a video telling Craig “If you can't show up and face your own party, then you're not ready to face Republicans,” per the Nation. Flanagan can boast the endorsement of many high-profile progressives in addition to Sanders, such as Senators Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey, and Minnesota's own Tina Smith, among many others. If elected, she would be the first ever Native American woman to serve as Governor of an American state.* More much-publicized endorsements came this week from AOC and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who both endorsed DSA-aligned legislative candidates, but as City and State NY notes, not the same ones. Mamdani gave his blessing to Darializa Avila Chevalier, a DSA-backed candidate running to unseat powerful Rep. Adriano Espaillat who is seeking his sixth term in Congress. Polling shows Avila Chevalier runs ahead of Espaillat when voters learn about her platform, but lags behind due to low name recognition – something the Zohran endorsement is sure to help remedy. Meanwhile AOC issued her endorsement of four DSA candidates for the state legislature. This all suggests that the two titans of the New York City Democratic Socialist movement are coordinating – with Zohran seeking to boost DSA's prospects without alienating the New York state establishment and vice versa for AOC – but that is nothing more than a hunch.* Looking southward, lame duck Republican Senator John Cornyn this week posted an article on his official Twitter page titled “Libertarian Ted Brown courts disaffected conservative voters in Texas' U.S. Senate race,” from Houston Public Media. Senator Cornyn's comment – “Ruh roh” – set off a firestorm of speculation that this was a subtle endorsement of the Libertarian's campaign and intended to undermine the campaign of his erstwhile opponent and victor of the Republican Senate primary, Ken Paxton. While Cornyn has furiously denied that this is in any way an endorsement of Brown, calling even the “characterization” that he is “promoting” this candidate “fake news,” there is little doubt that posting about Brown from his official account constitutes a promotion of the campaign, albeit not an endorsement. It will be interesting to see whether Cornyn takes other subtle, or not so subtle, digs at Paxton over the course of the campaign, given that he seems to hold a substantial degree of antipathy towards the Texas Attorney General.* Our next two stories come to us from Florida. First, in Florida's 24th congressional district, the National Journal reports longtime Congresswoman Frederica Wilson will not seek reelection. We recently discussed Congresswoman Wilson on this segment when it was revealed that she had been MIA from the House for weeks following an undisclosed eye surgery. Wilson is 82 years old. The National Journal couches this story in the context of aged members of Congress accepting, or more often refusing, to pass the torch. In its gerontocracy tracker, it highlights members like Doris Matsui, John Garamendi, Jim Clyburn and Maxine Waters, all of whom are 80 years old or older, who are actively seeking reelection this cycle.* Meanwhile, in Florida's 20th district, the Sunshine State's redistricting initiative has put the historically Black district in jeopardy. Under the newly drawn lines, the frontrunner in this seat is Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and though she claims the Congressional Black Caucus and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told her that “they know I know our community” the CBC has not endorsed her and Rep. Yvette Clarke, the CBC's chairwoman, said the caucus did not encourage Wasserman Schultz to run in the district. However, there are currently four Black candidates vying for the seat previously held by Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, including Cherfilus-McCormick herself as well as progressive challenger Elijah Manley, former Mayor of Broward County Dale Holness and Luther Campbell the former rapper more famously known as Uncle Luke. Now, according to the Miami Herald, all four of these candidates are meeting to “discuss coalescing behind one candidate.” Manley is quoted in this piece saying that while they have not reached an agreement, they “did agree that we needed to consolidate,” and he said the “conversations are going on. They have been very constructive and fruitful.” It is encouraging that in the wake of Callais decision we are beginning to see a more strategic approach to Black political representation, which has been too long monopolized by powerful longtime incumbents intent on nothing so much as preserving their own fiefdoms.* Finally, in a story shocking to exactly no one, Axios is out with a new report showing that the National Guard occupation of Washington D.C. has done little to reduce crime in the District. Per a new study by the centrist Niskansen Center, while the security theater of the deployment seems to have deterred “opportunistic” property crime, violent crime remained on the same downward trajectory it had been on since before the deployment. Moreover, the promised co-benefit – that the presence of the Guard would free up the Metropolitan Police Department to focus on high-crime areas – did not materialize at all. Despite these lackluster results, President Trump plans to double the National Guard presence in Washington – which already costs $1.5 million a day – ahead of the 250th anniversary events this summer. This is an outrageous waste of taxpayer money especially now that we know for sure how little impact this hostile occupation is actually having on driving down violent crime.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Two Dan Sullivans, a Biden Babysitter Moment, and Ivanka's Apocalypse Island Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh banter through political and cultural topics on “Libservative,” including House passage of “Section 224 stuff,” a 215–208 symbolic House vote aimed at ending U.S. involvement in Iran, and skepticism over reports of a Trump–Netanyahu “divorce.” They read an Axios-sourced account of Trump allegedly yelling at Netanyahu over Lebanon civilian deaths, contrast it with Netanyahu's continued stance, and mock Mark Levin's furious all-caps response calling the leak illegal. They cover a bizarre Alaska GOP primary where Sen. Dan Sullivan faces another candidate also named Dan Sullivan, joking about voter confusion and dirty-tricks politics. The hosts roast a Jill Biden moment that makes Joe Biden appear toddler-like, criticize Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner discussing a massive Mediterranean private-island development, mention a court striking down an anti-weaponization fund, and briefly discuss the UK Henry Nowak stabbing bodycam controversy and knife restrictions. 00:00 Welcome to Libservative 00:55 Tonight's Agenda Rundown 03:19 Alaska's Dan Sullivan Showdown 10:11 Pride Month Culture War 12:56 Jill and Joe Biden Clip 16:47 Trump Netanyahu Blowup 28:11 War Powers Vote Fallout 42:44 Trump's Truth Social Spin 44:44 Lara Trump Iran Military Clip 45:58 Iraq War Parallels 46:52 Nukes and Time Blur 48:27 Anti Weaponization Act 49:53 January 6 Recourse Debate 52:39 Viewers Drop Off Mystery 54:16 Ivanka Buys an Island 59:41 Apocalypse Island Jokes 01:09:49 UK Visas Clarified 01:13:41 UK Stabbing Bodycam 01:14:45 Knife Laws and Kirpan 01:21:34 British Food and Culture 01:24:16 Links Golf Explained 01:29:56 Disc Golf vs Golf 01:32:04 Wrap Up and Sign Off

Ashe in America steps into the host chair and Ghost brings the geopolitics on a lighter news day that turns into one of the most substantive discussions of the month. Trump confirms the expletive-laden Netanyahu phone call in a morning interview, says he would like to meet the Ayatollah in person, and does not walk back a word of the Axios reporting. Ghost maps out why Netanyahu has no choice but to keep pressing forward in Lebanon: ultra-orthodox coalition partners demanding Greater Israel have bayonets at his back, his political opponents are now calling him weak for yielding to Trump, and the minute he leaves office he faces three felonies. Ghost argues the Republican establishment is about to ride into the same suicide mission with Netanyahu. California primary results show Spencer Pratt leading Karen Bass by 25,000 votes with mail-in ballots still outstanding, and Steve Hilton advances in the governor race. The second half of the show becomes a sharp, wide-ranging conversation about personality worship versus principled thinking: why the truth community is more captured by personalities than the normies Ghost met on his Caribbean trip, why progressivism lives in both parties, and why the Republican Party forwarding Mark Elias election reform talking points is the clearest sign of a movement that has lost its principles. Lindsey Graham gets booed off stage again.

This week Axios reported that Trump lashed out at Benjamin Netanyahu over the war in Iran. Despite speculation, this was later verified by Trump – what does this clash tell us about their relationship? Bibi and Trump have known each other for over 40 years and share many things in common. But their differences over political interests has led to a fractured relationship.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, on October 7, 2023, Palestinian terrorists from Gaza, backed by Qatar, Turkey, and Iran, attacked Israel, murdering 1,200 people through extreme brutality. If drug cartels had done the same on the Texas border the U.S. would not tolerate it or fight with the restraint Israel showed in Gaza, such as issuing warnings and leaflets. Israel, a small nation, has faced ongoing attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah yet is repeatedly told to back off just as it nears destroying these groups, allowing Hamas to rearm despite a supposed peace deal. The U.S. fought Iran alongside Israel, but now pressures Israel to stop while Hamas remains armed and Hezbollah continues threats. Why is Israel not permitted to fully defend itself? Afterward, the leak in Axios was a violation of federal law and provided support to the Iranian regime and its Hezbollah proxy. Whomever leaked that story to Barack Ravid did a grave disservice to our country, to our president, to Israel, and to Israel's prime minister. The Iranian regime will benefit from that leak, viewing us as weak and desperate for a deal -- even coming to Hezbollah's defense. Will there be an FBI investigation to determine who leaked? If not, why not? Also, we will soon celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Every delegate who signed the document had signed their own death warrant.   Let us remember this when we listen to the debates about whether or not we should defeat the Iranian regime.  All the arguments and even excuses against it -- despite 47-years of it killing and maiming thousands of our fellow countrymen, and a far more dangerous and diabolical ideological agenda than that of the British monarchy. Yet, George Washington and the brave founders of our country personally risked everything. Ultimately, the British forces surrendered.  The Iranian regime will never surrender.  And they will never abide by a deal, any more than they have abided by a ceasefire. Later, Bari Weiss is a genuine journalist who is challenging CBS's entrenched radical mindset by promoting more moderate, professional journalists, which has provoked attacks from figures like Scott Pelley. There are CBS personalities like Pelley who are whiny, narcissistic, privileged, entitled buffoons who are driving down ratings. Meanwhile, Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur are complaining that they were banned from Britain over their views on Israel and terrorism, while affirming First Amendment free speech. They hate America, trash its Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment values, and support regimes like communist China, Cuba, Islamist Iran, and Turkey where free speech is suppressed—yet demand sympathy when facing restrictions themselves.

As judges continue to weigh in, President Trump is finding that despite his litigious efforts, he can't always get what he wants. Mary and Andrew begin this week with the latest fallout from his $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, which is now under judicial review after a group of federal judges filed a motion arguing that the original lawsuit that prompted the fund was “itself a fraud on the court.” This prompted the news, first reported by Axios, that the Trump administration would abandon the fund altogether. Mary and Andrew tie this into another instance in which the administration is losing in the courts, with Judge Mehta's decision refusing to dismiss the indictment of Oath Keepers' leader Stewart Rhodes, among others whose sentences were commuted. They then move to a ruling ordering the removal of Trump's name from the Kennedy Center facade, a setback in his attempt to reshape the renowned preforming arts center. And after an update on the criminal case against the Southern Poverty Law Center, Andrew shares some insight into his recent New York Times op-ed which offers a path to stop vindictive prosecutions altogether.

Congress is hollowing out, and the consequences show up first in foreign policy. Dan McAdams returns to talk with us about what Thomas Massie's primary loss signals for antiwar oversight, why the Ron Paul era of forcing floor debates through appropriations fights is largely gone, and how that vacuum makes it easier for Washington to slide into the next conflict without friction. We dig into Iran and the so-called ceasefire: the strikes, the responses, and the familiar pattern of narrative manipulation where the U.S. can provoke, then rebrand escalation as “defense.” We also unpack the latest claims of a draft Trump Iran deal, why leak-driven reporting deserves extra skepticism, and how media pipelines can function like message distribution for competing interests rather than real journalism. From there we move to Israel and Gaza, including Netanyahu's comments that point toward annexation, the U.S. role in funding and arming the campaign, and the way Lebanon and Hezbollah complicate any regional settlement. We also discuss harrowing firsthand accounts of Gaza's blockade and a political paradox: anti-intervention voices are breaking through culturally, but votes and power haven't caught up yet. Finally, we zoom out to Latin America, from Javier Milei and BRICS anxiety to U.S. drug war strikes in Guatemala and the danger of normalizing kill-first policy without due process.

Axios, un pequeño medio de información política con acceso privilegiado a la Casa Blanca contaba este martes que unas horas antes se había producido una tensa llamada telefónica entre Donald Trump y Benjamin Netanyahu. Según cuentan Trump dijo textualmente a su interlocutor que estaba loco y que, si no fuera él, estaría en prisión. Como vemos, el estado de ánimo del presidente no es el mejor cuando van a cumplirse cien días de un embrollo que él mismo se buscó en Irán. El detonante fue la amenaza iraní de levantarse de la mesa de negociaciones por la ofensiva israelí sobre el Líbano, que los iraníes consideran una violación del alto el fuego acordado con EEUU en abril. La exclusiva de Axios es, según muchos analistas, un aviso que cuenta con el beneplácito de la Casa Blanca. El mensaje del lunes iba dirigido a los israelíes, a la comunidad internacional y sobre todo a los ayatolás. Tras colgar, Trump se apuntó el tanto en redes, aseguró haber detenido el ataque y haber hablado con Hezbolá. Netanyahu replicó horas después desinflando el globo, advirtió que Israel atacaría Beirut si Hezbolá no cesaba. Trump, entretanto, ya no sabe que hacer para ocultar su impotencia. A la CNBC le dijo que le traía sin cuidado el destino de las negociaciones, mientras que ante ABC se mostró confiado en cerrar un acuerdo cuanto antes y reabrir el estrecho de Ormuz en una semana. Lo cierto es que Irán conserva misiles, drones, minas y lanchas suficientes para mantener cerrado el estrecho todo el tiempo que quieran. Eso tiene una consecuencia directa sobre el precio del petróleo, que sigue cerca de los 100 dólares justo antes de que empiece la temporada veraniega. La cuestión de fondo aquí es hasta dónde llega el poder real de Trump sobre Netanyahu. Sus tácticas intimidatorias funcionaron con Israel en el plan de Gaza de octubre del año pasado, pero fallaron con los europeos en Groenlandia y lo están haciendo también con los iraníes. Con Israel la palanca parece efectiva porque Trump es hoy más popular allí que el propio Netanyahu, que tiene unas elecciones muy complicadas en octubre. El acuerdo en discusión contempla un memorando que levantaría los bloqueos cruzados en Ormuz, prorrogaría el alto el fuego y abriría un plazo de 60 días para la parte nuclear y las sanciones. Para Israel resulta un mal negocio, pues el régimen iraní seguirá en pie y seguramente más cohesionado, la disuasión israelí queda tocada e Irán conserva el arma de cerrar el estrecho. Netanyahu, que tanto influyó en el inicio de la guerra, apenas pintará nada en su final. Tampoco ha conseguido extinguir el incendio en el Líbano. Hezbolá no se quiere desarmar y el Gobierno libanés nada puede hacer para forzarlo. Dentro de Israel, la derecha y la izquierda coinciden en lamentar la dependencia de EEUU. Si, después de ganar la guerra, terminan perdiendo la paz Trump seguramente cargue el muerto a Netanyahu, que podría cerrar el año fuera del poder.

Ghost and Alpha Warrior take the Tuesday show with CannCon out for a family emergency, and they do not waste a minute. Ghost opens by tracing a fake story about Iran's president resigning all the way back to a London-based Saudi British intelligence outlet called Volant Media, showing in real time how Fox News changed its headline when the story collapsed while keeping the original article live. Alpha connects it to Red Sea Ventures, the company that manages Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly, and a dozen other "independent" media voices and was purchased by Fox Corporation in February, raising pointed questions about what independence actually means. Ghost then dissects two Megyn Kelly clips: a 2025 Virginia Tech appearance where she told students to trust only her and Ben Shapiro, and a 2026 Sean Ryan interview where she called MAGA an Israeli-supporting pedophile lobby. Ghost frames it as a sophisticated gatekeeping operation. The big geopolitical story is Axios reporting Trump called Netanyahu crazy, told him he would be in prison without Trump's help, and blocked a Beirut strike, a story neither Trump nor Netanyahu denied. Mark Levin immediately melted down and demanded an FBI investigation. Ghost and Alpha break down every angle of the call and what it signals about where the Iran peace deal actually stands.

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday on a chaotic summer schedule and immediately starts doing homework on a name nobody was floating. Trump just named Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as acting DNI, and Jon pulls his background live: no intelligence experience, but a track record of going after Leticia James, Eric Swalwell, and Adam Schiff, a role in the Fulton County files raid, and a management style so disruptive that Scott Bessent allegedly threatened to punch him at a dinner. Jon does not know if this is a great pick and says so out loud, which puts him in roughly the same honest position as everyone else. Trump also posted that Iran talks have been happening every single day this week regardless of what the media is reporting, Rubio told the Senate the war is over, and Jon notes this is approximately the seventeenth time someone has declared it over. Spencer Pratt's LA mayoral primary is happening today and Jon does not expect him to win, but is watching closely to see whether a stolen race finally gets mainstream people in California asking the question the rest of the country has been asking for years. The Trump-Netanyahu story from Axios is almost certainly planted narrative warfare and Jon explains why.

Episode 187 is a full call-in show, and the audience brings a lot. Jon Herold and Zak Paine open with the leaked Axios report claiming Trump called Netanyahu "fucking crazy" and told him he'd be in prison without him, plus a pointed takedown of Mark Levin's selective outrage about leaks only when they damage Israel. Max Southwest Patriot calls in with a tightly reasoned theory that the viral tick-box psyop was deliberately seeded to build demand for the Pfizer Lyme disease vaccine, walking through the week-by-week timeline from the first X post to Hannity to RFK Jr., and arguing NGOs are the laundering mechanism behind health scare operations. Rebelnator calls in to ask the question a lot of people are quietly thinking: have the Q drops and devolution framework made the MAGA movement dangerously passive? Jon and Zak give a layered, honest answer rather than a cheerleader response, including a frank acknowledgment that the movement must survive and outgrow Trump himself. Later callers dig into Art Bell's mysterious final broadcast in 2016, the NESARA grift, what the Founders would actually prescribe for fixing the republic, and a firsthand Brown Mountain Lights sighting from a Badlands cofounder who has footage.

The U.S. and Iran appear to be nearing a framework for a deal. Axios reports that the agreement would extend the ceasefire and kick off negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. Big questions remain about who is leading negotiations from the Iran side. Jon Gambrell of the Associated Press joins to discuss an influential voice on the rise in Tehran. Summer-travel season has begun, but this year’s is going to be pricier than most. On this week’s Apple News In Conversation, USA Today’s Zach Wichter explains how to navigate air travel in an era of high prices. Plus, the Supreme Court threw out the conviction of a man facing execution, an intense heat wave in Europe is affecting the French Open, and how a football coach is redefining remote work. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.
