Podcasts about blockades

What should have been a bipartisan housing bill touting affordability has instead become a fight over the Save America Act. Representative Anna Paulina Luna is leading a House conservative blockade, freezing routine procedural votes until the Senate takes up the Trump-backed elections bill. The problem is that the Senate has no path forward. The bill doesn't have the votes, and the Senate isn't about to let the House dictate its agenda. In the meantime, House Republicans are unable to move other priorities, including appropriations and next week's defense policy bill.Luna's leverage comes from one place: Donald Trump. The president canceled the planned signing of the bipartisan housing bill, saying he would not move forward until the Save America Act passes. House Republicans believe Luna's close relationship with Trump is what's keeping the blockade alive. Mike Lee has also pushed Trump to hold the line, arguing that Republican voters need something to get excited about before the midterms and that the Save America Act is that issue.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The divide inside the Republican Party is becoming clearer. Luna, Lee, and the hardliners argue that if voters gave Republicans the White House and both chambers of Congress, they expect them to fight for election legislation, not immediately explain why it can't pass. The Senate's answer is that the bill doesn't have sixty votes. Their view is that Republicans can either spend weeks arguing over a bill that cannot pass or move on to things they can actually accomplish.I think this has been mishandled by both Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune. Whether or not the entire Save America Act could ever get sixty votes, there are pieces of it that are broadly popular with the American public, particularly voter ID provisions. Those could have been broken out and forced into separate fights. Instead, Republicans have backed themselves into a corner where the House is frozen, the Senate has no incentive to move, and everyone is arguing over tactics instead of making progress.My expectation is that Trump ultimately signs the housing bill. This feels like walking away from the table before signing in the hope of getting something else. He wants movement on the Save America Act. I just don't think he's going to get it.Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guard reportedly struck the Singapore-flagged cargo ship Ever Lovely as it transited the Strait of Hormuz, raising new doubts about the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding and the security of commercial shipping through the waterway. No casualties were reported, but the ship was damaged and the International Maritime Organization paused evacuation efforts while reassessing security. My biggest question isn't whether the memorandum itself is good or bad. It's whether any agreement can actually be enforced if there isn't one clear center of leadership in Iran. I honestly don't know who's making the calls, and I'm not sure if anyone else really has a good idea either.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:57 - SAVE America Blockade00:11:54 - Iran00:14:16 - Asylum Ruling00:16:29 - James vs. Mamdani00:19:52 - Interview with Tom Merritt01:06:40 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Mondays with Dr. Janice Stein are always a learning experience, and it sure has been since the end of February, with the war in Iran. And in spite of alleged "peace deals," we're still wondering if the conflict will ever end. It's complicated and that's why Dr. Stein is with us again this week.

Herzlich willkommen zu Ihrem morgendlichen Newsletter! Die globalen Spannungen reißen nicht ab. Im Nahen Osten hat der Iran die erneute Schließung der strategisch bedeutsamen Straße von Hormus angeordnet. Teheran wertet die anhaltenden Angriffe Israels im Libanon als Bruch des Rahmenabkommens mit den USA. Das US-Militär dementiert eine Blockade. Unter pakistanischer Vermittlung sind Gespräche in der Schweiz geplant. In Europa sorgt derweil ein historischer Disput für einen handfesten Eklat: Polens Präsident Karol Nawrocki hat dem ukrainischen Staatschef Wolodymyr Selenskyj den Weißen-Adler-Orden aberkannt. Der Streit um ukrainische Nationalisten im Zweiten Weltkrieg veranlasst nun auch andere Kiewer Politiker, aus Protest polnische Orden zurückzugeben. Zusätzlich empfehlen wir heute zwei zeitlose Themen: Erfahren Sie, wie Aristoteles‘ rhetorisches Dreieck aus Ethos, Pathos und Logos unsere Kommunikation bis heute prägt, und begeben Sie sich auf eine Reise durch die 2.500-jährige, faszinierende Entwicklungsgeschichte des Speiseeises.

The Normalization of Crisis in Bolivia. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Professor Evan Ellis reports on the 49-day blockade in Bolivia that is strangling the economy under President Rodrigo Paz. Driven by Evo Morales and indigenous groups, the protests have caused significant GDP shrinkage and business closures.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Asian stocks hovered near record highs in holiday-thinned trading as optimism that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will restore oil flows and curb inflation pressures buoyed risk appetite. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index was little changed after five straight days of gains, while the chip-heavy Kospi was the top performer in the region, jumping 2.6%. A gauge of the sector in the US surged more than 6% to an all-time high, led by Intel Corp., after President Donald Trump said the company would work with Apple Inc. to design and manufacture semiconductors in the country. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities. Plus - The US-Iran interim peace deal took effect and shipping started returning to the Strait of Hormuz as the US declared an end to its blockade and a complex negotiating period over Tehran's nuclear program began in earnest. US Vice President JD Vance told reporters Thursday at the White House that the 60-day clock for working out the contentious details in the so-called memorandum of understanding signed late Wednesday had started ticking. He downplayed concerns Iran could eventually impose tolls on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a move that would turn the crucial transport chokepoint — widely considered international waters — into a moneymaker for Tehran.

Über hundert Tage lang war die Strasse von Hormuz blockiert. Doch während Analysten einen dramatischen Preissprung befürchteten, blieb die globale Wirtschaft verschont. In dieser Podcast-Folge erklärt NZZ-Pro-Redaktorin Catherine Bosley die Hintergründe. Anfang März griffen die USA und Israel Iran an. Als Reaktion blockierte Iran die Meerenge bei Hormuz - der Ölpreis stieg an, Analysten rechneten mit dem Schlimmsten. Drei Monate später lässt sich feststellen: Länder wie Indien und die Philippinen haben mit Knappheiten bei Brennstoff zu kämpfen. In den Industrieländern in Europa und Nordeuropa ist ein unkontrollierbarer Ölschock aber  ausgeblieben. Einerseits habe es China geschafft, die Öl-Importe drastisch herunterzufahren, sagt Bosley. Andererseits hätten die USA in den letzten Wochen mehr Erdöl exportiert, als vor dem Krieg. Auch die strategischen Notreserven der internationalen Energieagentur halfen, die Notlage zu überbrücken.

For review:1. Cuban lawmakers unanimously approved sweeping reforms backed by the Communist ​Party and former leader Raul Castro that would privatize a vast swath of the country's socialist economy in a bid to survive punishing U.S. sanctions.The ‌measures, if implemented as passed, would represent the single largest change to Cuba's socialist model since former leader Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution and a major shift towards a market economy.2. President Trump on Wednesday signed the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Iran ending the war between the two countries.3. Iran will invite the UN's nuclear watchdog agency to inspect its nuclear sites and begin work on identifying and uncovering the locations of Tehran's enriched material, US President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff tells US lawmakers in a private briefing.4. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman warned Thursday that a continued IDF presence in southern Lebanon would mean the “annulment” of the memorandum of understanding it signed with the United States, as Israel doubled down on its plans to keep troops in the area amid its ongoing conflict with the Hezbollah terror group.5. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told NATO Thursday the Pentagon will review its force presence in Europe within six months.“This will be a real review. It will be designed to ensure that NATO is moving fast and irreversibly toward Europe leading, stepping up to take primary responsibility for the defense of Europe,” Hegseth told a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels.6.

The US has lifted its Iran naval blockade following the US-Iran deal. Both countries have signed a deal but what does it actually mean for the two nations? We head to Cuba where the government's unveiled sweeping reforms, trying to steady an economy that's really under pressure.

On this episode of the Sports As A Weapon Podcast, Miguel interviews Hakim Jihad and Wells Todd of the US Hands Off Cuba Committee about a recent youth and labor delegation to Cuba. Hakim and Wells Todd discussed the meetings the delegation had with Cuban mass organizations such as CENESEX (Centro Nacional de Educación Sexual), participation in May Day marches, and visits to clinics and Havana's Calixto García hospital to deliver medical aid amid shortages and blackouts they attribute to the US blockade and new oil restrictions.Hakim and Wells respond to the Fox News coverage on the delegation and Cuba by arguing that Cuba is framed as a “national security threat” because of post-revolution gains in healthcare, education, LGBTQ rights, and pharmaceuticals, including vaccines and other treatments. Miguel, Hakim and Wells Todd also discuss signs they believe indicate possible US military escalation or even invasion, address the push by the Trump administration to indict Raúl Castro tied to Brothers to the Rescue flights, and outline Hands Off Cuba's current priorities in their Jacksonville chapter and nationally: “No War on Cuba” organizing, humanitarian aid efforts, and the Let Cuba Play campaign to make sure Cuban athletes can obtain Visas and participate at the 2028 Olympic Games. Links:* Hands Off Cuba Committee Website* Let Cuba Play Campaign Website * Cuba Denounces Devastating Impact of U.S. Blockade on Childhood at UNICEF/teleSUR English  * Why Students From the U.S. and Around the World Study Medicine in Cuba/Belly of the Beast Cuba (YouTube Video)  * Coalition Demands ICE-Free World Cup / Cuba activists educate at Los Angeles World Cup / Radio Habana Cuba * Why Is the U.S. Targeting Raúl Castro Now? / Belly of the Beast Cuba (YouTube Video)  * Anti-Fascist Football Coalition Website: https://peoplescenteredhumanrights.com/move-the-games/ Miguel Garcia and Comrade E produced this episode.

Is the administration throwing Iran a multi-billion dollar lifeline?

The backlash within the highest levels of national security is boiling over!

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the first Iranian vessels pass the US blockade line without incident, providing an early test of an agreement aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. As shipping resumes, France and the UK are pushing for an international naval mission to secure the waterway. French President Emmanuel Macron says participating countries are ready to send frigates and mine-clearing vessels once conditions allow. We also look at continuing tensions in Lebanon, where Israel says it intercepted Hezbollah rockets and carried out more strikes on the south of the country. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon and insists his country's forces will remain in territory it occupies in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza. In Kuwait, authorities revoke the citizenship of more than 2,100 people as part of a review of nationality files that has affected thousands over the past two years. And Dubai says the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport remains on track, with Dh55 billion ($14.9 billion) in contracts expected to be awarded as work continues on what is to become the world's largest aviation hub. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.

US President Donald Trump says he has authorized the immediate removal of the US naval blockade against Iranian ports. Iran's deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi says the two sides will sign the draft of a memorandum of understanding in Switzerland on Friday.

Evan Ellis discusses Bolivia's severe instability as blockades led by supporters of Evo Morales disrupt the capital's supply of food and oxygen. Morales is described as a dangerous figure using cocaine-related funds to destabilize the democratically elected government, posing a significant risk to regional US allies. (13)1900

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Three Indian sailors are dead after U.S. forces struck a commercial tanker in the Gulf of Oman, marking the first reported fatalities tied to Washington's blockade of Iran. We'll explain what happened, why India is demanding answers, and how the incident could complicate one of America's most important strategic relationships. Ukraine may have found a cheaper way to defend its skies. We'll look at a new homegrown interceptor missile that costs less than a quarter of a Patriot round and could help Kyiv counter Russian missile attacks at a fraction of the cost. Five months after the fall of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela is rapidly dismantling the symbols of his rule. We'll examine how the former dictator is being erased from public life and what it says about the country's post-Maduro future. In today's Back of the Brief, the House rejects a last-minute effort to extend a controversial surveillance authority, putting the future of a key U.S. intelligence tool in doubt.  To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting https://PDBPremium.com.

Send us Fan MailMissiles, markets, and political panic all collide as we try to make sense of a rapidly escalating U.S. Iran war. We walk through the latest battlefield signals, including U.S. Tomahawk strikes, the reluctance to risk sustained flyovers, and why the Strait of Hormuz has become the defining chokepoint for global oil prices and commercial shipping. When Iran declares the strait closed and Washington insists it “controls” it, the real question becomes simple: who can impose costs that change the other side's behavior?We're joined by Professor Robert Pape, who argues Iran has shifted from survival to ambition, using escalation pressure and a broader regional “security belt” strategy that could stretch the crisis through the summer and into major political milestones. Then Professor Mohammed Morandi gives a Tehran-centered view of Trump's threats, the logic of insisting on written commitments, and why direct talks are seen as a trap when past U.S. promises fall apart. Along the way, we unpack the most unnerving reports swirling around escalation, plus what it means when rhetoric starts drifting toward seizing oil infrastructure.From there, we bring it home: Trump's comments on inflation, the reality of gas prices erasing wage gains, and a SpaceX IPO that highlights how extreme wealth concentration is reshaping politics and everyday life. We close with the DOJ “anti-weaponization” fund backlash and new details on the White House freakout over the Epstein files, exposing how loyalty, transparency, and credibility are breaking down across the administration.If you want clear, skeptical analysis of the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, inflation, and the Epstein files drama, subscribe to the show, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review with the biggest question you still have after listening.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Israeli journalist Amit Segal argues that "Trump appears to have finally learned to speak Persian" in his dealings with the Iranian regime. The Parliament Speaker wrote a book called "The Power of Negotiation" where he outlined a strategy of "continuous, grueling repetition of demands until the opponent gets numb and surrenders." Segal posits that President Trump may finally have recognized this strategy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com

Alejandro Peña Esclusa describes how Evo Morales triggers blockades and chaos in Bolivia to evade prosecution. The government is responding with emergency powers to prevent Morales from overthrowing the system through leftist-coordinated protests. (3)1700 BOLIVIA

Serhii Plokhy explains that Anastas Mikoyan emerged as a voice of reason, having opposed the missiles from the start. As the U.S. blockade began, Khrushchev ordered missile-carrying ships to turn back, though one ship with nuclear warheads was ordered to proceed. Washington remained dangerously unaware of Soviet submarines armed with nuclear torpedoes and the true number of Soviet troops on the island. Kennedy privately admitted he felt he had "no choice" but to act, partly fearing impeachment. Dean Rusk famously noted that the Soviets "blinked" when their ships finally stopped. (5)1920
