The memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran was apparently signed over the weekend, but the text remains a mystery to most. Donald Trump says he'll release it and even read it himself so nobody can misunderstand it. If it's such good news, though, why not put it out right now? Israel isn't a fan of it, nor are those who believe we've abandoned the Iranian people by making a deal with the IRGC. At the same time, there may be a silent majority that cares less about the politics and more about the price at the pump. And that's what caught my attention.Since the beginning of May, with Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, gas prices in the United States have fallen. Not by a little, but by a lot. The national average has gone from roughly $4.50 a gallon to $3.50. That happened while the strait was closed and before any memorandum of understanding was announced. The White House wasn't bragging about it. They weren't loudly telling Iran that the closure wasn't working. That made me think something else was going on.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.After digging through it, I've been able to dig up a few explanations. The most public, I'd argue, was the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The Department of Energy released more than 53 million barrels as part of a broader international effort, bringing the reserve down to its lowest level since 1983. There were also reports that the United States was helping move oil out of the Gulf using some of the same techniques Iran has historically used to evade sanctions. American production remained high. Every hint of a peace deal pushed oil prices lower. Global demand softened. China sharply reduced its purchases on the open market. Alternative routes around Hormuz became more important. Gasoline inventories improved. All of it pushed prices down.If I rank the reasons, peace-talk optimism sits at the top. Strategic reserve releases bought time. American-supported workarounds moved real barrels. Demand destruction, especially with China stepping back, reduced pressure. Improved gasoline inventories helped. Some of the more speculative theories include sanctions waivers for Iranian oil, greater tolerance for shadow-fleet shipments, and alternate export routes making Hormuz less decisive than Iran hoped.What stands out is that there were more American incentives to get to the table than Iranian ones. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a temporary band-aid. Smuggling oil out of the Gulf is risky. Every day the Strait of Hormuz remained closed carried economic and military risks. That helps explain why the White House wanted a deal. Iran had incentives too, especially if China was no longer buying at previous levels, but the balance of pressure appears different than many expected.My assumption remains what it has been for weeks: there are multiple power centers inside Iran, and the biggest question is whether any deal can survive them. The Ayatollah is gone, much of Iran's leadership structure has been shattered, and the IRGC itself appears divided between factions willing to make a deal and hardliners who want to keep fighting. The memorandum of understanding may give us a clearer picture when we finally see it. Until then, the biggest question isn't whether a deal exists. It's whether anyone on the Iranian side can actually enforce it.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:38 - Iran and Gas Prices00:31:47 - Update00:32:04 - UFC 250 Terrorism Plot00:37:46 - Russia-Ukraine00:39:48 - Primaries00:42:48 - Interview with Maria Curi01:11:46 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: Elon Musk is set to become the world's first billionaire as Space X launches its initial public offer today. A More Perfect Union explains how this sketchy IPO could destroy many people's 401(K) accounts. Heather 'Digby' Parton, columnist at Salon and publisher of the Hullabaloo blog, joins to recap the week's news. Topics include the war in Iran, midterm elections and more. In the Fun Half: CNN airs a compilation showing the 39 times that Donald Trump claimed that we a deal with Iran is imminent. Trillionaires Trump is now claiming that Strait of Hormuz has been open the whole time, but we just didn't know it because it was a secret. Shhhhh don't tell the Ayatollah. Department of Energy secretary Chris Wright admits under oath that he lied when he tweeted that the U.S. had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz back in March. That kind of conflicts with Trump's claim that the strait has been open. Elissa Slotkin issues a press release stating that she believes that Michael Martin, a Trump pick for a U.S. district court, would be different from the president's other picks in that he will admit that Biden won the election in 2020 and that January 6 was an attack on the Capitol. Unfortunately for Slotkin, Martin answered those questions in the exact same fashion as all of Trump's other sycophantic nominees. Marco Rubio cites three examples of what make America so unique; our constitution, the moon landing and the UFC. We take a trip back to 2018 to watch Susan Collins on CNN promising that Bret Kavanaugh would not overturn Roe v Wade. All that and more.

In this segment, the hosts break down the mass confusion surrounding the Trump administration's erratic diplomatic statements regarding the ongoing war with Iran. The discussion zeroes in on a dizzying 24-hour news cycle where President Trump alternately threatened ferocious bombing campaigns and then abruptly declared the war "over," claiming to have reached a conceptual memorandum of understanding. The commentary highlights a stark disconnect between the White House and global reality, as Middle Eastern allies like Egypt and Israel, along with Iranian state media, quickly denied any knowledge of a finalized settlement. While Trump claims a breakthrough is on the horizon, the reality on the ground tells a far different story: the Ayatollah has publicly rejected the proposal, cyber warfare groups have breached digital infrastructure, and Iranian forces have resumed drone and missile attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The host concludes with a poignant warning from national security experts, emphasizing that a weak diplomatic framework fails to address Iran and China's hostile actions against American service members.

This short overview is reproduced from the Grandmasters of Geopolitics Telegram channel, with thanks. From his student days onwards, Ayatollah Khamenei's life story was interwoven with the history of modern Iran. In the 1960s and 70s, Ali Khamenei was arrested six times by the shah's secret police, Savak, enduring torture and internal exile. These years of underground resistance solidified his revolutionary credentials. Meanwhile, his experience on the frontlines of the US-backed 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war strengthened his antipathy and mistrust towards US imperialism. ------------------------------------------------ Subscribe!

Ghost opens episode 111 with Trump's Air Force One gaggle, walking through Trump confirming the Netanyahu F-bomb call, comparing AI wealth sharing for Americans to Chavez's oil nationalization, and delivering the line of the week on the Strait of Hormuz: oil is flowing at $97 a barrel and it should have been $300. The biggest shift comes when Trump tells reporters he would be honored to meet the new Ayatollah, calls him probably a professional, and implies the press may have lied about him the same way they lie about Trump. Ghost maps out how this, the uranium entombment admission, the State Department killing Israel's Somaliland play, and Putin's SPIEF defense of Trump all add up to a coordinated squeeze on Netanyahu. Hunter Biden's viral X account gets its moment: the January 2021 hot mic plea deal clip, his posts torching Jake Tapper, Jared Kushner, and Eric Trump, and Ghost's cooperating witness theory. SPIEF closes the episode with Putin's multipolar world speech, Saudi Arabia as guest of honor signing 30 Russia agreements, the Russia-Uzbekistan nuclear plant launch, and Kirill Dmitriev announcing the signing of the Trump-Putin Alaska tunnel design agreement with a mysterious Asian partner now confirmed.

Trump incontrerà l’Ayatollah, Israele che farà? - Procura di Milano: “Minetti ha diritto alla grazia”

President Trump Want to Meet the Ayatollah.  Democrat Who Worked with Al-Qaeda-Linked Group Wins New Jersey Primary to Replace Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman.  Adam Hamawy won the NJ Democratic primary for retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman's House seat.  US Supreme Court allowed Alabama to proceed with an altered congressional map Affirmed a 2023 map that alters four districts and favors Republicans Special primary is set for August.

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.

There is a new cease-fire and new concessions, but how does it as up against Trump's original goals. We will do a breakdown of the original justification for the strikes, operational objectives and what this newest cease-fire agreement means.SPONSOR: Lear CapitalGold and silver are at all-time highs as central banks, sovereign funds, and major institutions like Morgan Stanley shift capital out of the dollar and into precious metals.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Tuesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan opens with confusion and high stakes in the war with Iran, as U.S. and Israeli forces strike Iranian boats planting mines in the Strait of Hormuz while President Trump's hopes for a quick peace deal appear to be slipping. He breaks down Iran's shifting demands over Strait "fees," enriched uranium, and negotiations slowed by the injured Ayatollah's reported isolation, while warning that Arab nations, Israel, and the White House are not fully aligned on what comes next. Bryan also covers a major Russian warning for Americans to leave Kiev ahead of possible large-scale strikes, and connects Moscow's effort to "break the spirit" of Ukrainians to broader concerns about political and spiritual warfare at home. Plus, Bryan highlights new U.S. defense production in Alabama as the country tries to replenish missile-defense stockpiles, digs into the Communist funding network tied to Neville Roy Singham, Hasan Piker, CodePink, and rising socialist candidates, and calls out flawed climate models after UN scientists admit their worst-case projection is now considered implausible. He closes with good medical news on grip strength, depression, creatine, and simple diet choices that support strength, recovery, and long-term health.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran war update Strait of Hormuz mines 2026, Trump Iran peace deal nuclear uranium negotiations, Ayatollah hiding CIA intelligence report, Abraham Accords Saudi Arabia Qatar Turkey Israel, Russia warning evacuate Kiev tactical nuclear threat Ukraine, THAAD missile production Alabama Lockheed Martin, Neville Roy Singham Hasan Piker Communist funding network, CodePink Cuba sanctions investigation Ilhan Omar daughter, UN climate model RCP 8.5 implausible Trump climate response, grip strength depression study creatine benefits inflammation, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

War Room Ayatollah Orders Highly-Enriched Uranium to Remain in Iran, Stymying Trump's Basis for Deal… PLUS, Trump Allies Line Up to Apply for $2 Billion Weaponization Fund

So much for common ground… Buckle up because this week Jillian Michaels sits across from Sam Seder, host of The Majority Report, for a bare-knuckle debate on government waste, Iran, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, DOGE, USAID and more. Nothing was off-limits. If you wanted a polite, coordinated conversation, go somewhere else. This is a full-throated ideological fight. In this episode, they tear into: The Global Health & Foreign Aid Crisis: The dismantling of USAID is front and center — is America's withdrawal from international NGO funding a necessary correction or a catastrophic failure? The debate gets heated fast, with the "last-mile" operational collapse in Uganda and the human cost of overnight co-investment mandates laid bare. The Mamdani-Khomeini Comparison: The Iranian diaspora isn't staying quiet — and this is where things get truly combustible. Jillian comes in swinging, amplifying the voices of exiles who lived through the revolution and are drawing chilling parallels between Mamdani's ideological framework and the Ayatollah's early intellectual positioning and Sam gets outraged. The Iran Conflict & The Fog of War: A fierce legal and ethical battle erupts over the recent strikes in Iran. The tragic Minab school bombing, the possibility of flawed targeting intelligence, and the complex question of civilian protections when military assets are embedded in non-military infrastructure all get put under the microscope. Russia, Ukraine & the NATO Fault Line: With the war grinding into a new phase, they go head to head on whether Western alliance commitments are a stabilizing force or a provocation that made this conflict inevitable DOGE, PBMs, and Domestic Warfare: The heat turns inward to tackle domestic deregulation, the rising influence of the Department of Government Efficiency, and whether the new delinking and transparency rules under the TrumpRx framework are liberating healthcare or creating new corporate loopholes for PBMs to exploit. Two distinct worldviews. Absolute zero consensus. Who held their ground, and who got exposed? Stream the full, unfiltered debate now and drop your thoughts in the comments below.

In the past week, there were ceasefires announced in Russia/Ukraine, Iran and Lebanon. But did that stop the fighting in any of those locations? Dr. Janice Stein from the Munk School at the University of Toronto joins us for her weekly conversation about our changing world. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Which war ends first — Russia/Ukraine or U.S./Israel versus Iran? Michael examines two global conflicts that suddenly appear to be moving in opposite directions. Vladimir Putin is hinting that the Russia-Ukraine war could be “coming to an end,” even as ceasefire violations continue and battlefield clashes intensify. Meanwhile, tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran are escalating rapidly, with failed negotiations, military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, and fears of broader regional instability driving energy prices higher. Michael also reflects on Admiral James Stavridis' new geopolitical thriller 2084 and the unsettling future scenarios it imagines. Which conflict is closer to resolution — and which is only becoming more dangerous? Listen here, then vote! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

No Cooperation with the War Machine & Victory to Iran | Ranjeet Brar Interview | Ranjeet Brar' ( • No Cooperation with the War Machine & Vict... ) The CPGB-ML has taken the stance that the war against Iran is a predatory war of imperialism and a extension of the genocide of the Palestinian people onto the Iranian people for the purposes of expanding American-Israel influence in the Middle-East through destabilisation. Iran is the pillar of resistance against this ambition and has been victim of sanctions for their resistance since 1979. Since the beginning of the war, it has become evidently clear that the US and Israel have greatly underestimated the capabilities of Iran to withstand attacks. Their rush to assassinate the head of Iran, the Ayatollah, led them to believe that they could have a quick and easy war, but reality has become a nightmare. The American Empire is crumbling and with it will their global terror. As Ranjeet Brar says in this interview: "No cooperation with the war machine and victory to Iran!" #socialism #iran #communism ______________________________________________ Subscribe! Donate!

While the conflict in Iran has dominated headlines in the last two months, accounts of ordinary life in the Islamic Republic are scarce. According to journalist Ali Hashem, who spent six weeks in Tehran and has visited several times in the last decade, life in the capital looks more normal than one might imagine. Shops and restaurants are largely open, and regular people seem to be rallying around the flag in the face of an external threat. And while the internet as we know it is shut down, an intranet of sorts—with access to local versions of Netflix, Uber, and WhatsApp—is allowing people a semblance of regular life. Hashem speaks with host Ravi Agrawal about his reporting from Iran.  Ali Hashem: Iran Is More Unified Than Ever Ali Hashem: The Iran Cease-Fire Has Only Divided the War Ali Hashem: Waiting for the War to End in Tehran Ali Hashem: Iran Is Becoming America's Ukraine Ali Hashem: Iran Is Built to Withstand the Ayatollah's Assassination Learn more about your ad choices.

The Fixer: A Journalist's Accidental Journey through the Middle East by Amjad Tadros Amjadtadros.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4RFWG9Z Dive into the heart of the Middle East with The Fixer, Amjad M. Tadros's gripping memoir of life as a CBS News “fixer.” A Jordanian son of Palestinian refugees, Tadros survived a U.S. missile strike in Baghdad, only to be visited by Saddam Hussein in his hospital bed. From tracking 9/11 hijackers' origins to witnessing the Arab Spring's broken dreams, he navigated wars, dictators, and hope with a front-row seat to history. Straddling Arab and Western worlds, Tadros faced accusations of betrayal from both sides—labeled a spy by some Arabs, a defender of tyrants by Westerners. With humor, courage, and unflinching honesty, he unveils the truth behind the headlines, offering a rare glimpse into a region of chaos and resilience. Perfect for readers of The Forever War and Guests of the Ayatollah, The Fixer is a vibrant tale of identity, survival, and the search for truth in the Middle East—a place Tadros calls home. About the author Amjad M. Tadros is an award-winning investigative journalist and media entrepreneur with more than three decades of leadership in journalism, digital media, and communications. As CBS News’ Middle East producer from 1990 to 2023, he managed regional coverage of transformative events, including Iraq’s wars, the September 11 hijackers’ backstories, the Arab Spring, and Syria’s chemical attacks on civilians. His commitment to truth earned him four Emmy Awards, including for stories about Syria’s chemical gas attacks (2016) and White Helmets (2017), a 2008 Peabody Award, and two Alfred I. duPont Awards from Columbia Journalism School. In 2013, Tadros co-founded Syria Direct, an independent media organization empowering young Syrians to deliver impartial news about their country’s conflict. Publishing in Arabic and English, it reaches audiences in Syria, the Syrian diaspora, diplomats, and scholars. It serves as a resource for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees’ Commission of Inquiry on Syria. Syria Direct earned the 2017 McNulty Prize, the 2019 Migration Media Award, and the 2020 Free Press Unlimited Syria Co-Production Fund prize for its impactful journalism. Now retired from CBS News, Tadros focuses on strategic media initiatives and governance while managing his family’s Medjool date farm, exporting premium dates globally. He holds an honors degree in mechanical engineering from Imperial College London and a diploma in public narrative from the Harvard Kennedy School.

Exist T-shirt: https://israelguys.link/shirt-86ex92adw    A new report just came out that Israel sent IDF units to the United Arab Emirates early on in the war for a very specific reason. This is a much bigger deal than people realize, as this is a one of a kind move by Israel.  Also with the assasination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents dinner, blame is getting thrown in a surprising direction, and new Israeli intelligence is showing that there is very good reason to believe that the current assumptions about the new Ayatollah of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, are actually completely wrong.  Justin breaks it all down on today's show.    Sign up for The Israel Guys Show Notes: https://israelguys.link/subscribe-86ex92agr  Sign up for the Prophets of Israel Daily: https://thelandofisrael.com/prophets-of-israel/ Join our Members Group! https://israelguys.link/donate-86ex929h6  Follow The Israel Guys on X: https://x.com/theisraelguys Join our Telegram channel: https://t.me/theisraelguys

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers encouraging developments in the Middle East, including an extended ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon that could pave the way for broader regional peace and new energy routes that weaken Iran's strategic grip. He also provides critical updates on Iran's internal power struggle, reporting that the Ayatollah is severely incapacitated while factions within the IRGC push for either war or survival under mounting economic pressure from the U.S. blockade. Bryan explains how this pressure is choking off billions in oil revenue, while China's massive oil reserves give Beijing temporary insulation and a potential strategic edge in the region. Plus, Bryan covers escalating tensions between the White House and Pope Leo over immigration policy, a troubling rise in threats against ICE agents, and new concerns about artificial intelligence being used inside the CIA despite reliability issues.

After lobbing multiple threats at Iran earlier this month, including ending “a whole civilization,” it was ultimately President Donald Trump who capitulated – announcing two weeks ago a ceasefire before extending that ceasefire today, pending an Iranian proposal for a permanent end to the war.

1. Michigan Political Commentary & Dearborn Focus A Michigan Senate candidate avoided discussing the killing of an Iranian Ayatollah due to concern that voters in Dearborn were “sad” about it. This is evidence of Democrats allegedly pandering to Islamist-sympathetic voters rather than condemning terrorism. Dearborn is characterized as politically influential and ideologically radical in this framing. “America-hating Islamists” are gaining influence within Democratic politics. Prominent progressive Democrats (e.g., Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, AOC) are examples of this alleged trend. Support for or sympathy toward Iran, Hezbollah, or anti-Israel positions is portrayed as electorally strategic rather than principled. 3. Michigan Synagogue Attack Narrative A March synagogue attack in West Bloomfield, Michigan, which the FBI labeled Hezbollah-inspired terrorism. Details emphasized: Targeting of children inside a Jewish temple/school The attacker’s alleged ties to Hezbollah propaganda Failures in immigration vetting and firearm sales checks The incident is a sign of systemic risks posed by insufficient counterterrorism enforcement. Strong criticism is directed at U.S. agencies for allowing a naturalized citizen with alleged terrorist connections to enter and remain in the country. These failures are do to broader Democratic positions on borders, DHS funding, and national security. Vetting lapses are deliberate policy choices rather than administrative failures. 5. Energy Policy and National Security Argument Using a Washington Post editorial as validation, the text criticizes green energy policies in: Germany Taiwan California The central claim: anti-nuclear and fossil fuel policies weaken national resilience during geopolitical crises. Energy independence is presented as a core national security issue, not just an environmental one. 6. ActBlue and Foreign Donor Allegations The New York Times is reporting that ActBlue may have misled Congress about vetting foreign donations. Key claims include: Potential acceptance of illegal foreign contributions Legal warnings from ActBlue’s own law firm Risk of criminal investigation or shutdown This is evidence of foreign interference benefiting Democrats electorally.

1. Michigan Hezbollah‑Inspired Terror Attack An attack on a synagogue and school in West Bloomfield, Michigan, was an act of Hezbollah‑inspired terrorism. The attacker is: A naturalized U.S. citizen with ties to Hezbollah Motivated by Iranian and Hezbollah propaganda Intending mass casualty violence against Jewish children The discussion emphasizes: Failures in immigration vetting Government databases allegedly flagged the individual Criticism of federal agencies for allowing entry and naturalization Media is downplaying or sanitizing extremist motives by using neutral labels like “Michigan Man.” 2. Democratic Party Accused of “Coddling” Radical Islamism Democrats enable or sympathize with radical Islamist movements Anti‑terror enforcement has been weakened through policy choices and funding decisions Department of Homeland Security funding and confirmation votes are cited as proof of institutional neglect. Terrorism is the result of Biden era policy consequences. 3. New York Politics & Mamdani Criticism A New York political figure (Mamdani) is: Opposing U.S. military action against Iran Framing the Iran conflict as morally unjustified and financially wasteful Defending or excusing the Iranian regime Ignoring Iran’s role in killing Americans and sponsoring terrorism This is symptomatic of the radical ideological shift within Democratic politics. 4. Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate & Dearborn Comments A Michigan Senate candidate is criticized for: Avoiding condemnation of Iran or the Ayatollah Citing that people in Dearborn are “sad” about the Ayatollah’s death Leaked or recorded strategy discussions are used to argue the candidate: Prioritizes electoral politics over national security Is willing to deflect using domestic political attacks rather than address terrorism The commentary suggests this reflects electoral influence from Islamist‑sympathetic constituencies. 5. Energy Policy & California “Self‑Inflicted Energy Crisis” The final section shifts to energy security, citing a Washington Post editorial. Green energy policies in Germany, Taiwan, and California weakened energy resilience The Iran conflict exposed dependence on unstable global energy supply chains California is highlighted for: Unique fuel regulations Closure of refineries Dependence on overseas imports Renewable energy is insufficient for baseload reliability.

For nearly 50 years, since the Ayatollah seized power in Iran and took Americans hostage, the U.S. has known that the regime could single-handedly shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Trump was reportedly warned of this threat, but the failed casino owner blew it off. And now Iran unilaterally controls 20% of the world's oil supply and an even higher percentage of the fertilizer inventory. But the former vice president tells Tim that Trump's judgment has been even worse on climate change. On the 20th anniversary of “An Inconvenient Truth,” Gore discusses how the rest of the global economy has ‘miraculously' responded to the climate threat. He also gives high marks to Mamdani, explains Trump's use of fear, shares details about his relationship with Clinton—and how his actions after the 2000 election inspired Mike Pence on Jan. 6.Former Vice President Al Gore joins Tim Miller.show notes Gore's climate change training in Nashville in May More on Gore's “Climate Reality Project” Tim's ‘Bulwark Take' with Ezra Levin on Saturday's “No Kings” protests Slow the growth of greys and get 15% off by using code THEBULWARK at Arey.com Take advantage of Ridge's once-a-year anniversary sale and get UP TO 40% Off by going to https://www.Ridge.com/THEBULWARK #Ridgepod For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping, when you head to Smalls.com/thebulwark.

Glenn explains that six stories that may seem unrelated at first are actually connected and perfectly encapsulate the problems America is facing, including the possibility of qualified immunity for government officials. Glenn warns that these are not just stories; these are sirens, warning you of what's happening in our country. Glenn brings in his chief researcher, Jason, to explain the latest on who the American military has taken out in this conflict with Iran. Pat Gray, BlazeTV host of "Pat Gray Unleashed," joins to talk over some of the biggest stories, including the Iran conflict and the fraud within the Democratic Party. Glenn goes over an exclusive story by DataRepublican that exposes how Congress is working against you, despite your tax dollars paying your representatives to do what you say. Glenn discusses Joe Kent's resignation from leading the Counterterrorism Center over disagreements with American involvement in Iran. Wynton Hall, Government Accountability Institute distinguished fellow and author of "Code Red," joins to explain why there is no way to opt out of the AI revolution, so we better be prepared. Glenn dives more into Joe Kent's resignation and lays out why he believes Kent's reasoning for resigning is irresponsible. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1. No Endless War or Ground Occupation Strong emphasis that this is not Iraq or Afghanistan: No large ground invasion No nation-building No long-term occupation Military strategy described as rapid, overwhelming, air-dominant action. Confidence that U.S. casualties will be minimal and duration short. 2. Military Action Against Iran Is Justified as Self-Defense The conflict is framed as a response to 47 years of Iranian aggression, including: Sponsorship of terrorism Killing nearly a thousand Americans Attempted assassinations of U.S. officials Iran is described as an irrational, theocratic death cult, making deterrence unreliable. Nuclear capability in Iran is portrayed as an existential threat to U.S. cities. 3. This Is “America First,” Not a War for Israel Repeated rejection of claims that the war is driven by Israel or Jewish influence. Such claims are labeled dishonest, antisemitic, and propaganda. The stated motivation: protecting American lives and national security. 4. Gas Prices Are a Short-Term Political Weapon Gas price increases are framed as temporary and expected due to Middle East conflict. Democrats are accused of exploiting gas prices the same way they previously focused on egg prices. The speaker argues prices are still lower than under Biden, despite rising from recent lows. Long-term expectation: Iran’s collapse would lower global gas prices. 5. Strong Leadership vs. Weak Appeasement Trump is decisive and feared by adversaries. Obama and Biden are criticized for appeasement and failed nuclear deals. Past diplomatic failures (North Korea, Iran nuclear deal) are cited as evidence diplomacy failed. 6. Harsh Criticism of Tucker Carlson and Isolationists Tucker Carlson is accused of: Spreading anti-American propaganda Echoing Islamist narratives Undermining U.S. troops His statements about unconditional surrender and nuclear escalation are called: False Dangerous Morally grotesque Isolationist conservatives are grouped with progressive Democrats as a shared threat to U.S. foreign policy. 7. Iranian Regime Change Is Seen as Necessary The appointment of a new Iranian leader (son of the former Ayatollah) is rejected. Any continuation of clerical Islamist rule is deemed unacceptable. Regime collapse is framed as the only path to lasting security. 8.

1. U.S. Military Success Against Iran (“Operation Epic Fury”) The U.S. has massively reduced Iran’s missile and drone launch capacity over eight days. U.S. forces allegedly destroyed air defenses, missile sites (including mobile launchers), drone infrastructure, and naval capabilities. They argue the U.S. now holds air and naval superiority, enabling cheaper munitions and sustained operations. 2. Global Oil Strategy and Potential Seizure of Kharg Island Discussion of Iran’s dependency on Kharg Island as its primary oil export hub (≈90%). Suggestion that the U.S. may be positioning itself to seize or control this strategic point. This would cripple Iran financially, control the Strait of Hormuz, and create major leverage over China’s energy supply. 3. Domestic Terror Concerns Several incidents referenced (NYC explosive scare, Austin attack, embassy explosion in Norway). Such threats are not caused by the Iran conflict but by long-standing extremist ideology. Strong accusations that open border policies increased vulnerability to terrorism. 4. DHS Funding Fight in Congress Democrats are accused of keeping parts of DHS unfunded (Coast Guard, TSA, FEMA) while ICE remains funded due to earlier legislation. The speakers assert this creates risk to national security during a heightened terror threat environment. Claim: Democrats are doing this to appeal to their base who oppose ICE and strict immigration enforcement. 5. Global Reactions and Rising Islamist Activity Some Islamist groups allegedly responding violently worldwide due to Iran’s conflict and loss of funding. Concern raised that DHS funding issues undermine the U.S.’s ability to defend against these threats. 6. Criticism of Democrat Positions on Iran Senator Chris Murphy is specifically criticized for defending the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal. The deal never provided real inspection rights and would have allowed Iran to eventually obtain nuclear weapons. Trump pulling out of the deal and attacking Iranian facilities set Iran’s program back significantly. 7. Tucker Carlson Controversy “Unconditional surrender” leads to U.S. soldiers committing atrocities. The U.S. might require nuclear weapons to force Iranian surrender. These statements are anti-American, extremist, and helpful to Islamist propaganda. Claims that Iranian state media and the Muslim Brotherhood promote Carlson’s segments. 8. New Iranian Leadership Iran allegedly names the son of the previous Ayatollah as its new leader. Speakers argue any continuation of clerical rule is unacceptable for U.S. security. They describe Iran’s leadership as religious extremists who cannot be deterred like other states. 9. Airport Security Incidents and Public Anxiety Several recent flight diversions and security scares are mentioned. Reduced DHS staffing (due to the funding dispute) worsens risks and delays.
