Podcast appearances and mentions of Benjamin Netanyahu

In unusually forceful political remarks, Pope Leo has said the world is "being ravaged by a handful of tyrants". Addressing a crowd during his visit to a region of Cameroon affected by a separatist insurgency, the head of the Roman Catholic Church condemned the people who -- he said -- manipulated "the very name of God" for their own gain. Also: a Lebanese official has told the BBC that President Joseph Aoun is not planning to speak to the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu - despite earlier suggestions from President Trump and Israeli officials. The outspoken South African opposition politician, Julius Malema, is sentenced to five years in prison for weapons offences. At least 17 people die in Ukraine following a massive Russian drone and missile attack. France looks to ban under-16s from using social media platforms, following Australia's lead. A study finds that communication between sperm whales closely parallels human language. And two rare paintings by the French Impressionist, Claude Monet, are sold at auction in Paris for a total of nearly $20m.

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:02:09] Trump Now Pushing "Clean" FISA Extension — Two Years After Calling for It to Be Killed Trump is pushing an 18-month FISA Section 702 reauthorization — the exact authority he called Congress to "KILL" in 2024 because it was used against him. He now says he's willing to give up citizens' rights so the military can use it in the Iran war. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:11:01] FISA Was Born to Sanitize Warrantless Surveillance — and Became a Blank Search Warrant for Everyone The Frank Church hearings were secretly about warrantless surveillance of Americans. FISA created a secret court that became a rubber stamp. Section 702 expanded it to collect any American's communications touching any foreign target. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:25:21] After Being Laughed Out of Court, Trump Returned With a Secret Grand Jury to Unmask the ICE Critic After using a 1930 customs law to demand Reddit user data on an ICE critic and being publicly challenged, the government returned secretly with a grand jury — bypassing the open court that stopped them. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:31:47] California Passed What Critics Call the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" — Criminalizing Investigative Journalism California's AB 2624 would penalize journalism exposing government-funded entities: misdemeanor charges, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedowns — the same playbook Kamala Harris used against Daleiden. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:37:03] Fed Money Growth Doubled in February — Printing Presses Back On Before Iran War Inflation Hits February money growth doubled to $198 billion from $82 billion in January — before any Iran war inflation has filtered through the supply chain. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:50:39] Arterburn: Trump's Tariffs and Iran War Together Are the Perfect Plan to Create a Global Energy Crisis If you wanted to engineer a global energy crisis and controlled demolition of the current financial system, Trump's war and tariffs are the reverse-engineered perfect plan. We haven't begun to feel the impact. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:09:59] World Economy Is 126 Trillion — But 800 Trillion If You Count All Currencies and Bonds Propping It Up Arderman: $800 trillion in currencies and instruments prop up a $126 trillion economy. Gold was 20% of the world economy in 1979. It's 3% now. Currency expansion plus rising energy prices is a recipe for absolute disaster. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:29:16] Pete Hegseth Delivered a "Prayer" to His Troops Lifted Word for Word From Pulp Fiction Hegseth read what he presented as a biblical prayer — which synced to Samuel L. Jackson's fake Ezekiel 25:17 from Pulp Fiction. The verse doesn't exist. Michael Flynn previously did the same using a New Age cult leader's prayer. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:43:49] Senate Voted 40-59 to Continue Arming Israel — Same Day Netanyahu Said Vance Reports to Him Daily A motion to stop funding Israel's weapons failed 40 to 59 — the same day Netanyahu told the Israeli people that JD Vance "reported to me in detail, as the people of this administration do every day." ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:51:16] Netanyahu: JD Vance Called Me From His Plane to Report in Detail on the Negotiations Netanyahu stated Vance "reported to me in detail, as the people of this administration do every day." He added: the ceasefire explosion came from the American side — they refused to tolerate Iran's alleged violation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:54:55] Pentagon Is Now Planning a Cuba Military Operation — Trump Says "I Can Do Whatever I Want With It" The Pentagon began Cuba planning in January when Trump curbed oil shipments. Trump publicly said he could "take Cuba in some form" and added, "I think I can do anything I want to with it." ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:58:40] Theologian: Israel's 80-Year US-Backed Military Campaign Looks Nothing Like Joshua's Miracle J.D. Hall: miracles don't require the Balfour Declaration and Rothschild banking networks. Joshua took the land in five years with farm implements. Israel has the world's most powerful backer for 80 years and still can't win. Perhaps the miracle is that they've been stopped. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US President Donald Trump made headlines this morning by announcing that Israeli and Lebanese "leaders" were set to speak to each other directly today. It was later announced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun today. Magid weighs in on this historic planned phone call and discusses this week's talks in Washington, DC, between Israeli and Lebanese representatives, the highest-level meeting between the countries to date. At the same time, no dates have been decided for the second round of talks between the US and Iran. There are reports that nuclear issues are among the subjects being discussed by the countries, and that talks may resume in Pakistan. Magid explains. The Gaza Board of Peace gave Hamas until the end of the week to accept a disarmament proposal. Magid reports how the terrorist organization has answered with several "yes, but" responses. Finally we turn to a pair of resolutions that were voted down by the US Senate that were aimed at preventing sales of weapons and bulldozers to Israel. We hear how Wednesday's vote saw the vast majority of Democrats join in favor of the block, demonstrating a substantive shift in the party’s approach toward Israel. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, by order of President Trump, the Strait of Hormuz has been blockaded. Of course, thanks to Democrats, the U.S. Navy is trying to do more with less. And the Woke Reich, neo-fascists, and Islamists are teaming up to work against Trump. But this is bigger than Iran. China claims the South China Sea and has artificial islands there. If Iran gets away with closing the Strait and charging fees for passage, would China do the same in the South China Sea? But the woke right and Islamists don't care. They hate Trump and they hate Benjamin Netanyahu, the two men who are clear about the goal of the Iran war: no nukes. Period. Also, Jihadi Islamists are now embedded in the U.S., including a mayor in Paterson, NJ, an imam in Dearborn, Michigan, and figures like podcaster Hasan Piker. While the overall Muslim population in America is not yet massive, it is growing rapidly, and communities are concentrating in specific towns and cities. These groups form segregated communities where Sharia law exerts control, either openly or discreetly. Later, Mediaite's founding editor Colby Hall, has reportedly been suspended for alleged and “completely unacceptable errors.” It appears Mediaite has lost confidence in him. Afterward, Josh Hammer calls in and argues that the fake conservatives in the podcast space are motivated purely by self-interest and metrics, not by altruism or concern for the country, and their incentives harm the conservative movement and the United States. We should ignore these self-serving voices and seek out those in it for the right reasons - good people still exist in broadcasting and podcasting, though they are fewer than before.

Jimmy Dore analyzes Donald Trump's absurd threat to "blockade" the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran already controls and has been charging $2 million per ship to allow passage, while military experts like Scott Ritter and Larry Johnson explain that any U.S. attempt to board foreign ships would be an act of war—and that U.S. naval vessels are staying 700 miles from the Iranian coast after being driven back by drone attacks.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point out that Trump will simultaneously beg for a ceasefire and threaten to bomb Iran again, all while admitting gas prices "could be a little bit higher" before the midterms — an admisstion that stunned even Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo.  Ritter notes that the U.S. has already lost the war, that Iran holds all the cards, and that any new escalation would trigger Iran to destroy Gulf energy infrastructure, collapse the global economy, and end modern civilization in the region. Jimmy concludes that Trump is completely controlled by Netanyahu, who needs the war to continue to avoid prison and secure reelection in Israel. Plus segments on Trump's hostile response to Pope Leo, negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner's divided loyalties and the impending demise of NATO. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Col. Douglas Macgregor and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from JD Vance!

What If the Iran War Is Not What You Think? The headlines are shouting about "ancient grudges" and nuclear encroachment, but what if the chaos in the Middle East is actually a calculated architectural reset of the global economy? While the world watches the cease-fire lines, a much bigger picture is unfolding—one that replaces vulnerable maritime chokepoints with a private-equity-managed system controlled by a Board of Peace. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on a strategy that didn't just underestimate the conflict—it counted on it. We explore how the "burning ocean" became the ultimate sales pitch for a new world order. In this deep dive, we reveal: The Hormuz Shutdown: How the U.S. Navy effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, stripping Iran of its oil income and forcing a global energy emergency that made alternatives mandatory. The Saudi-Israel Connection: How the IMEC creates a seamless link from India through the Saudi desert to the Port of Haifa in Israel, bypassing the Iranian "veto". Netanyahu and the New Axis: The strategic collaboration between Netanyahu's government and Saudi Arabia to finalize the "Abraham Gateway," turning GAZA into the primary Mediterranean terminal for the world's energy. The Mastermind Team: The strategic roles of Rubio, Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner in navigating the shift from maritime dependency to a land bridge where the risk is borne by the American taxpayer. The Insurance Trap: Why private markets fled a $352 billion risk, leaving the DFC as the only insurer of last resort—effectively making the IMEC the only "safe" route left on the planet. Chairman for Life: The internal mechanics of the Board of Peace, a "private club" with no UN oversight and a $17 billion private military force. The Gaza Terminus: Why the reconstruction of Gaza is actually the key to controlling the gateway of European trade. Is this the strategic genius the world needs to bypass "ideological lunatics," or the most dangerous concentration of power in modern history?

America is at war for Israel as traitor Trump obeys his Jewish handlers by blockading Hormuz, stealing uranium, and clearing the path for Greater Israel and the Third Temple. Iranians refuse to surrender, the heist was a failed ground invasion with dead Americans and destroyed planes, and now Trump blasphemes as Jesus while Netanyahu runs the government—Satan must be defeated.

After failing to secure a peace deal and instead declaring a full U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, Donald Trump adopted a far more aggressive strategy to achieve a goal he has pursued for weeks: restoring unrestricted global access through the Strait of Hormuz. The move appears designed to intensify pressure on Tehran following the collapse of direct negotiations between U.S. and Iranian officials in Pakistan over the weekend, which failed to produce a path toward ending the conflict. Trump also indicated that other nations might join the effort, but early signs suggested limited support, with Benjamin Netanyahu emerging as the only leader to publicly endorse the plan. Independent media has never been more important.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As Israel marks Holocaust Remembrance Day, Horovitz discusses comments made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his pre-recorded speech at Yad Vashem, in which he focused on the blows dealt to the Iranian regime by Israel and the US on behalf of the free world. While mediators aim to maneuver the US and Iran back to talks, Horovitz reviews the gaps between Tehran and Washington, the newly declared US naval blockade on Iran, and the acute dangers of the patient, malevolent regime's survival. With Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors heading to a first, single meeting on Tuesday in Washington, Horovitz notes that both sides have the same goal, disarming Hezbollah, while the terrorist army wants to stop the talks.

Hours after a temporary ceasefire deal between the US and Iran was announced last week, Israel unleashed a massive, deadly bombing campaign on Lebanon. In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with award-winning Iranian-Canadian journalist Samira Mohyeddin about the reality that Israel is a rogue state intent on pursuing more war, not diplomacy or peace, and that the US-Israeli war on Iran was never about nuclear threats but about weakening Iran's economic and regional power—at devastating costs to civilians.Guests:Samira Mohyeddin is an award winning producer and broadcaster based in Toronto.

On the brave new world we have entered. Historian Arash Azizi is back on the pod, talking to Alex H and Lee Jones about the ongoing war. We try to draw out some firm consequences, beyond the immediate situtation. Why did Trump go to war? Is this Netanyahu's war? And will he continue it regardless of the US? Will the Islamic Republic become more conservative now?  What has the war revealed about asymmetric warfare? About US vulnerability? What is the state of the Hormuz weapon now?

As diplomatic talks between Iran and the United States continue in an effort to extend the temporary cease-fire due to expire on April 22, public opinion surveys show that while a majority of Israelis oppose the cease-fire, support for the Iran war is declining. Alon-Lee Green, the national co-director of Standing Together and one of the main organizers of demonstrations against the joint U.S.-Israel offensive in Iran, told the Haaretz Podcast that he is “encouraged” by the decrease in support among Israelis. “I think a lot of people are waking up and joining this protest,” Green said. “It's delusional to believe that the promises that have been made to us at the beginning of the war are still valid somehow, and that we're still fighting to change the regime in Iran or to save Iranians while we're killing them and making them refugees.” Through the protests, Standing Together “tried to remind the Israeli public that just eight months ago, we ended the first Iran war with big promises, with Netanyahu saying that we scored a historic win, that we annihilated the ballistic missile program of Iran, that we annihilated the nuclear threat of Iran,” Green said. “ Green was among the protesters who, after being detained by police at the April 4 antiwar protest in Tel Aviv, were not permitted to enter a shelter during a missile barrage. Police instead took detainees to the lobby of a nearby building that was enclosed entirely in glass. On the podcast, he also recounts being targeted by right-wing activists who have poured chemicals outside his door and repeatedly tried to break into his private residence.

Entre abril y mayo con dos ajustes en fila, la gasolina súper pasará de ₡633 a ₡715, en tanto que la regular (plus) subirá de ₡628 a ₡695. El incremento más sentido y con mayor repercusión será el del diesel que tendrá un subidón de ₡136 que romperá la barrera de los ₡700. Exactamente de ₡565 a ₡701. Es el viento de cola que nos llega del Estrecho de Ormuz o, mejor dicho, de la decisión de nuestro aliado estratégico el señor Donald Trump y su mayor y más cercano amigo el israelí Benjamín Netanyahu, que al entrar en guerra con Irán el 28 de febrero no escucharon las advertencias de los expertos que anticiparon el escenario que hoy tenemos delante. El de los precios al alza de los hidrocarburos en el mundo entero. En consecuencia el Fondo Monetario Internacional advierte de “lo impensable”. Y lo impensable es, por ahora, una posible recesión mundial este mismo 2026. Conversamos con el economista Gerardo Corrales.

Coup d'envoi des négociations entre le Liban et Israël à Washington sous l'égide du secrétaire d'Etat Marco Rubio. Peuvent-elles aboutir alors que les combats se poursuivent entre l'armée israélienne et le Hezbollah dans le sud du pays ?

Megyn Kelly opens the show by discussing the lengthy but ultimately unsuccessful peace negotiations between VP JD Vance and the Iranians, Trump's new proposal to conduct a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, new reporting that the blockade will actually be related to Iran's ports, Trump's major criticism of Pope Leo XIV as soft on crime and doing a bad job after the pope criticized the war, the AI image he posted portraying himself as Jesus, the massive backlash it received even from his supporters, and more. Then Brandon Weichert, host of "NatSec Talk" on Rumble, joins to discuss what will happen next with Iran as tensions in the Strait of Hormuz escalate, the risk of military strikes resuming, whether VP JD Vance was set up to fail with the Iran peace negotiations, Netanyahu's comments about getting reports from Vance throughout the negotiations, Fox News discussing the benefits of censorship to stop certain "narratives" from changing how people think about issues, the accurate framing that Israel did help lead Trump and America into the war with Iran, and more. Then Megyn dives into the story of Rep. Eric Swalwell and the alleged misconduct with a former staffer, his California governor campaign being torpedoed in what appears to be a coordinated hit by the Democrat establishment and corporate media, questions about the former staffer's story in her CNN interview, the truth about the stories being told now by alleged victims now, the facts many in the media are ignoring, and more.    Weichert- https://rumble.com/user/NatSecTalk   Birch Gold: Text MK to 989898 to join Birch Gold's Learn and Earn event by April 30!

Comedian and podcaster Jimmy Dore joins Bad Faith for the first time to discuss the entryist left's new-found willingness to criticize AOC and call out progressive electeds for their complicity with the corporate duopoly. Five years after Force the Vote, has AOC been "pushed" on her Iron Dome stance, or is she following a new permission structure around Israel funding established by Netanyahu himself? Jimmy & Brie open up about the psychological toll of Force The Vote, and whether it's still possible for the left to come back together around a genuinely transformational left figure. Also, what do we make of Tucker Carlson's defense of Islam, criticism of Israel, and the broader America First break from Trump? Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

Ray McGovern : Israel Lost the War and Netanyahu Back on TrialSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There are roughly two camps. One argues that there is an overarching grand plan behind America's actions in Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, and against Russia's shadow fleet – a coherent strategy to choke off China's industries and make Europe energy-dependent on the United States. The other, more plausible camp sees imperial decline and the chaos that decline inevitably brings.I explore both.John Mearsheimer argues that America has suffered a catastrophic defeat. The evidence is stark: Iran has published a ten-point plan that includes the removal of American bases from the Gulf, continued uranium enrichment, and reparations – and Trump accepted it as the basis for negotiations. America is running out of Tomahawk missiles, having burned through eight to ten years of stockpiles in weeks. Its capital ships have been withdrawn out of Iranian missile range. The world's key strategic waterway is no longer under US control.But journalist Richard Medhurst makes a compelling case that this is all about China – a brutal attempt to cut off Chinese industry from Persian Gulf oil and force Beijing to negotiate from weakness.The problem is Trump. According to the New York Times, he went into this war on a whim – a "yeah, sounds good" after Netanyahu's sales pitch – overruling his own generals. The White House has been systematically de‑professionalised. Institutional memory is gone. Decision‑making is chaos.I draw a careful parallel with Hitler's regime: the removal of experts, the promotion of sycophants like Ribbentrop, the deliberate creation of administrative chaos to concentrate power. Trump surrounds himself with the same kind of people – Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff – who tell him what he wants to hear.From Tehran, this looks like a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity: remove the Americans from the Gulf forever, gain permanent leverage over the world, and finally deal with the threat of Israel. And Israel's standing in America has plummeted – not just among Democrats, but among the MAGA base as well.What we are witnessing is the end of a world order that began in 1991. Trump is not the cause of American decline – he is an accelerant. But the collapse is coming, and the consequences will be catastrophic.Topics covered:- Mearsheimer's thesis of strategic defeat- America's munitions crisis- Medhurst's blockade‑of‑China argument- Trump's chaotic, whim‑driven decision‑making- The de‑professionalisation of the White House- Hitler, Ribbentrop, and the parallel of sycophantic advice- Iran's once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity- Israel's collapsing popularity in the US- The end of the post‑Cold War order---*If you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us.

Comment Pékin peut-il tirer profit du ralentissement de l'économie mondiale ? Alors que la Chine est le premier importateur mondial de pétrole, le pays n'est-il pas affecté par des problèmes d'approvisionnement ?     Avec Stéphane Geneste, journaliste au service économie de RFI, présente la chronique « Aujourd'hui l'économie ».       Liban : qu'attendre des négociations avec Israël à Washington ?   Alors qu'Israël refuse de stopper ses « opérations militaires » au Liban malgré la trêve conclue entre Américains et Iraniens, Benyamin Netanyahu a ordonné à son cabinet d'engager des « négociations directes » avec le Liban. C'est donc à Washington que doivent commencer, ce mardi (14 avril 2026), des pourparlers pour aboutir à un accord de cessez-le-feu. Quelle est la place du Hezbollah dans ces négociations ?

Chỉ vài giờ sau khi lệnh ngừng bắn giữa Mỹ và Iran có hiệu lực, Israel đã tiến hành các cuộc không kích trên khắp Lebanon, khiến hàng trăm người thiệt mạng và dân thường hoảng sợ, trong bối cảnh ngày càng có nhiều nhầm lẫn về việc liệu thỏa thuận này có áp dụng tại khu vực đó hay không. Trong khi đó, ông Benjamin Netanyahu cho biết Israel sẽ tiếp tục chiến đấu với Hezbollah nhưng vẫn để ngỏ khả năng đàm phán, khi các cuộc thương lượng tại Pakistan và Washington làm dấy lên hy vọng về con đường ngoại giao giữa lúc bạo lực vẫn tiếp diễn.

Hawk lays out recent polling showing 80 percent of Democratic voters now hold negative views of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli government, and the Israeli military, with that number rising to 90 percent among Democrats aged 18 to 42. Republicans in that same age group are approaching 60 percent negative. Despite this, a DNC non-binding resolution to reject AIPAC money specifically failed to pass. AIPAC spent roughly 2.5 million dollars against Tom Malinowski in New Jersey simply for suggesting military aid to Israel should have conditions, a clear warning shot to every Democrat in the country. Hawk also calls out establishment Democrats for their decade-long addiction to incremental change rhetoric while Donald Trump has spent 15 months remaking the country by simply doing it. Democrats are leaving Hassan Piker's core audience, voters under 30, completely uncontested while refusing to go anywhere near the podcasts and platforms where those voters actually live.

The exterminationist rhetoric that has accompanied Trump's massive bombardment of civilian infrastructure in Iran has been condemned by Amnesty International as possible incitement to genocide—a crime under international law. Can Trump join Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin as the next world leader to face charges before the International Criminal Court? Yes, if Iran follows Palestine and Ukraine in granting jurisdiction to the ICC for crimes committed on its territory. This is legally valid, despite intransigence from the United States, Israel and Russia alike. The next three convictions by the ICC could be the first of figures from outside the African continent—undermining accusations of a double standard that have hindered the Court's effectiveness. In Episode 322 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg makes the case—politically and practically—for sending Trump to a prison cell at The Hague.

The week began with a threat from US President Donald Trump that a ‘whole civilisation would die', and it ended with peace talks. We bring together people from across the Middle East to share their experiences of the past few days. We hear from Iranians in the UK tracking explosions near their family homes in Iran, and Israelis divided by the latest ceasefire. With peace talks due to get underway this weekend in Pakistan, the US Vice President, JD Vance, described the ceasefire as a ‘fragile truce'. Meanwhile, as Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there is ‘no ceasefire in Lebanon' we hear from people in the country where air strikes have intensified.

While most of the attention on the war against Iran is now focused on upcoming in Islamabad, Israel and Hezbollah continue to exchange fire, despite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's announcement of planned talks with Lebanon that will take place in Washington D.C. next week. The talks will center on Hezbollah and cementing a lasting peace between the two nations. Overnight, millions of Israelis sought shelter after Hezbollah launched a missile toward Ashdod and Tel Aviv, and also fired multiple rockets toward civilian communities along Israel's northern border. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Eylon Levy, Former Spokesman for the State of Israel, who says while talks with Iran are going on, Tehran must be aware that a military option to destroy the regime is still on the table.

Nearly 3,000 years ago, the Lord dispatched a lying spirit to convince King Ahab to go to war with the Arameans—a battle that cost him his life. Today, a group of conservative podcasters who supported President Trump have flipped since the beginning of Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28, 2026. These podcasters, perhaps chasing clicks or just addicted to running against the official White House narrative, have contributed to a startling shift in American public opinion about Israel and its prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the last four years, American adults have swung from a 55% positive view of Israel to 60% negative, with the biggest change among Americans under age 50. News coverage of Israel's war against Hamas hasn't helped, but popular podcasters have piled on. Are they basing their publicly expressed views on the facts, or have they been seduced by spirits into repeating medieval blood libel? We also discuss recent claims by Congressman Tim Burchett (R—Tenn.) that if the American public knew what the US government knew about UFOs and “aliens,” we wouldn't be able to sleep.

Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins Jimmy to analyze the chaotic Iran ceasefire negotiations, noting that Trump initially appeared to accept Iran's humiliating 10-point plan (including U.S. troop withdrawal, reparations, and surrender of the Strait of Hormuz) before his press secretary responded to the backlash by claiming that plan was "literally thrown in the garbage."  Macgregor explains that Trump wants to end the war but is trapped by Israeli interests, with Netanyahu's phone call scuttling the inclusion of Lebanon in the ceasefire—proving Israel calls the shots. He warns that Iran holds the strategic initiative, cannot be conquered, and that the rest of the world is moving away from the U.S., with France leading 15 countries to negotiate directly with Iran for Hormuz access without Washington.  Plus segments on the delusional MAGA personalities pushing the Iran ceasefire as a big win for Trump, Trump's own administration's confusion about what, precisely, is in the ceasefire agreement, the battles raging across the country against data centers and Trump's recent major losses in court. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!

Today's Headlines: Melania Trump made an unannounced appearance in the White House foyer to deny any meaningful relationship with Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, call for public congressional hearings for survivors, and insist Epstein did not introduce her to Donald. Trump said he didn't know about the remarks in advance — his own communications team immediately contradicted that. Nobody knows anything, as usual. The timing is suspicious enough that theories are flying about what's about to drop. The Iran ceasefire is wobbling badly. Iran is still restricting Strait traffic to roughly four ships a day versus the pre-war average of 100, charging $2 million per ship in tolls payable in crypto or yuan, and accusing the U.S. of violating three ceasefire points. Trump posted at midnight threatening that if the agreement isn't fully complied with, "the shootin' starts bigger and better than anyone has ever seen." JD Vance flew to Pakistan to lead peace negotiations, blamed translation issues with Iranian negotiators for the "choppiness," and Israel kept striking Lebanon anyway. Republicans in Congress blocked a War Powers Act effort to stop the war — even as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, and Candace Owens publicly turned on it, prompting Trump to call them "NUT JOBS."  The Free Press reported that back in January, a top Pentagon official summoned the Pope's U.S. ambassador and warned that the Catholic Church had better take America's side — and referenced the Avignon Papacy, the 14th century period when French royalty used military force to extort the Vatican, as a subtle threat. An 18-year-old USC student lost his eye at a No Kings protest after a federal agent fired a pepper ball into a group of demonstrators. U.S. fertility rates hit another record low in 2025. American Airlines raised checked bag fees to $50, $60, and $200 — another Iran war fuel cost passed directly to consumers. RFK Jr. announced a podcast. Artemis II splashes down tonight off San Diego.

Stew exposes the raw truth: Israel blew up the US-Iran ceasefire before the ink was dry because they still have kids to slaughter and land to steal in Lebanon, Gaza, and beyond. Trump bragged about a 10-point Iranian peace plan, then immediately backpedaled like the puppet he is once Netanyahu snapped his fingers.   Ohio gubernatorial candidate Casey Putsch joins Stew to tear apart higher education consolidation scams, data centers bulldozing Ohio farmland for corporate profits, NRA leadership selling out gun rights, and why real America First puts Ohio workers and families first—not imported political parasites and out-of-state elites. Peymon Mottahedeh from Freedom Law School drops the bomb: There is NO constitutional law requiring Americans to file or pay federal income taxes. It's a 100+ year voluntary shakedown that's funding Israel's wars, war crimes, and Greater Israel agenda while turning Americans into tax slaves and Amalek.   This April only: $3 off your first month on Locals ✝️ A reminder of the 3rd day and the power of resurrection.

Then Ana Kasparian, host and executive producer of "The Young Turks," joins to discuss Netanyahu's actions in Lebanon, how Israel's ongoing bombing campaign could affect the fragile U.S ceasefire with Iran,  the bizarre past nine months since Megyn and Charlie Kirk talked Epstein and Israeli intelligence at the Turning Point event in July, the campaign being waged against her, the key conversation she and Charlie had about Israeli supporters the month before his death, and more.   Knowles- https://www.dailywire.com/ Kasparian- https://kasparian.substack.com/   Riverbend Ranch: Visit https://riverbendranch.com/ | Use promo code MEGYN for $20 off your first order.

​The ceasefire is a "leaking" mess, and everyone is playing a game. Today we break down why Benjamin Netanyahu has no intention of stopping the bombs and why the Pakistan-brokered deal is falling apart at the seams. Plus: Tiger Woods allegedly calls Trump from a DUI scene? We aren't buying it. We also dive into the bizarre world of "Political Ghosting"—why are people actually throwing away their Bruce Springsteen and Robert De Niro collections? Also, we find Donald Trump's long-lost twin... who happens to be a potato farmer in Spain.​Topics covered:​00:00 – The "Lebanon Loophole" and Netanyahu's destructive end-game.​12:45 – Tiger Woods' questionable "Phone-a-Friend" moment with Trump.​25:30 – Bruce Springsteen, De Niro, and the death of separating art from politics.​38:15 – The viral "Senora Trump" potato farmer.

Tommy and Ben try to make sense of a dark and dizzying day in American history, from President Trump's genocidal threat to destroy the 'whole civilization' of Iran, to the announcement of a two-week ceasefire.They break down what Trump's threats to bomb every power plant and bridge in Iran would actually mean — legally, morally, and for the 92 million Iranians who would be left without power, water, or functioning hospitals. They unpack a new New York Times report on how Trump decided to go to war, including Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's influential role in the push to war, the Mossad's catastrophically wrong assumptions about how Iran would respond, and which Cabinet officials were cut out of the deliberations entirely. They examine the domestic political fallout — including why Trump is getting none of the usual wartime polling boost — as well as Tucker Carlson's stunning break with his old friend over Iran, including Carlson's fear that the escalation ladder could lead Trump to using a nuclear weapon. They also walk through the diplomatic off-ramps that could bring a permanent end to the conflict. Finally, they turn to Hungary, where Viktor Orbán faces the most serious threat to his 16-year grip on power from challenger Péter Magyar, and where JD Vance showed up today to campaign for MAGA's favorite foreign strongman just five days before a potentially historic election.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
