Eric welcomes Michael O'Hanlon, the Philip Knight chair in defense and strategy at the Brookings Institution, and author of To Dare Mighty Things, and a recent op-ed in the Financial Times on the Trump administration's $200 billion supplemental budget request to fund the Iran War. They discuss whether there is a unique American "way of war" or "way of strategy," and the accomplishments of U.S. grand and defense strategies in the post-World War II era and whether Trump is undoing those achievements. They also examine why limited force operations are sometimes hard to avoid, and the role of American pragmatism and innovation in allowing the U.S. to successfully adapt under fire on the battlefield. They close with a conversation about Congress's role in setting defense strategy and the role it could play in setting limits to "boots on the ground" in Iran and investing in the defense industrial base to increase its productive capacity to replenish the enormous stocks of precision munitions and missiles that have been expended in the war.Congress must not give Trump a blank cheque for the Iran war (Gift Link):https://giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/ce6a9f97-9f47-414b-856b-ab82972c6c20To Dare Mighty Things: U.S. Defense Strategy Since the Revolution:https://www.amazon.com/Dare-Mighty-Things-Strategy-Revolution/dp/0300279930

Can the Democrats put an end to Trump & his MAGA cult?Nick Cohen talks to leading U.S. commentator and conservative dissident Charlie Sykes about the continuing collapse of the U.S. Republic under the corruption, authoritarianism and incompetence of the Trump-MAGA regime. Nick asks Charlie the question increasing numbers of people are asking, "Can Democrats save the U.S. from becoming a despotic regime permanently controlled by Trump's MAGA cult?"Trump is desperately trying to get his so-called "Save America Act" passed through Congress and the Senate ahead of the midterm elections in November. The Act is widely seen as a brazen attempt by an unstable and rapidly ageing man to rig future elections to the Republicans' advantage by putting major obstacles in the way of voters' ability to vote. Meanwhile, the media, civic society and important institutions are under relentless assault by Trump and his MAGA minions. Trump's illegal tariffs are helping to impoverish many Americans - and billions more around the world - while his illegal and increasingly catastrophic war threatens to plunge the global economy into chaos and recession. His sinister support for Vladimir Putin not only threatens Ukraine but the security of the rest if Europe.Nick asks Charlie Sykes, "Can the Democrats finally get their act together and end Trump's increasingly toxic tyranny before it's too late?"Read all about it!Charlie Sykes @SykesCharlie is a leading highly respected United States conservative political commentator who was formerly editor-in-chief and founder of the highly influential website The Bulwark.

This week on Face the Nation, continued conflicting messages out of the White House when it comes to the war against Iran and why Americans are increasingly bearing the brunt of Washington's actions, or inactions. It's a spectacular spring in the nation's capital, but Congress has fled the city after showing they're incapable of consensus when it comes to funding the Homeland Security department.   President Trump says he'll use other means to pay TSA officers until an agreement is reached, but will that be enough to ease the long security lines at some of the country's busiest airports while the House and Senate are out of town for the next two weeks? We'll address the challenges to DHS with White House Border Czar Tom Homan, plus we'll talk with the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee Jim Himes.

American lawmakers have long struggled to keep pace with the scale and sophistication of offshore financial networks used by figures like Jeffrey Epstein. These systems rely on shell companies, layered trusts, and jurisdictions with strict secrecy laws—places like the British Virgin Islands or the Cayman Islands—making it difficult to trace ownership, follow money flows, or establish jurisdiction. In Epstein's case, investigators and civil litigants have pointed to a web of offshore entities and accounts that obscured how funds moved between his businesses, properties, and associates. Lawmakers have responded with hearings, proposed legislation, and pressure on regulators to tighten anti–money laundering rules, increase beneficial ownership transparency, and compel greater cooperation from foreign financial centers. Still, enforcement has often lagged behind the reality that capital can move instantly across borders while legal processes remain slow, fragmented, and dependent on international cooperation.The challenge is compounded by competing priorities and institutional limits. Financial privacy, diplomatic relationships, and the interests of major banks and investment firms often complicate efforts to impose stricter controls. Even when new rules are introduced—such as requirements to disclose beneficial owners or expand reporting obligations—critics argue they are either too narrow or inconsistently enforced. In high-profile cases like Epstein's, this has led to frustration among lawmakers and the public alike, as the full financial picture remains incomplete despite years of scrutiny. The broader concern is that without stronger, coordinated global standards and more aggressive domestic enforcement, offshore structures will continue to provide a shield for wealth, influence, and, potentially, illicit activity—leaving Congress perpetually reacting rather than staying ahead of the problem.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Pam Bondi's appearance before Congress on Epstein-related matters drew sharp criticism for its tone and substance, with lawmakers pressing her on past decisions, her handling of the case while serving as Florida's attorney general, and her public posture since. Rather than offering clear, detailed answers, she was widely viewed as evasive and combative, leaning on narrow legal defenses and distancing language instead of addressing broader concerns about oversight failures and missed opportunities for accountability. The exchange amplified long-standing questions about whether key officials treated Epstein as an ordinary defendant or as someone afforded unusual deference. For critics, the hearing underscored a pattern: when pressed on the record, officials revert to technicalities and memory gaps, leaving major questions about prosecutorial judgment, victim notification, and investigative scope unresolved.At the same time, the involvement of figures like Jay Clayton has fueled skepticism about the integrity of the process. Clayton's prior ties to Apollo Global Management—an institution that has faced scrutiny over connections to Epstein—have been cited by critics as a glaring conflict or, at minimum, an appearance problem that undermines public confidence. Even if no direct impropriety is established, placing individuals with links to firms entangled in Epstein-related controversies into positions touching the investigation invites doubts about independence and rigor. To detractors, it looks like a familiar loop: the same circles of finance, law, and government overseeing matters that intersect with their own networks, making assurances of impartiality harder to accept and reinforcing the perception that the system is policing itself.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A military operation has led to a legal battle for the ages. The deposed leader of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, appeared in a New York court this week facing federal charges after he and his wife were captured by American authorities in January. The charges include narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and conspiracy. Earlier this week, FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony spoke with former state and federal prosecutor Jim Trusty about the case against Maduro and when this complicated trial might finally begin. Trusty also explained how these charges compare to those brought against former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega after he was captured by the U.S. in 1989. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you'd like to hear the entire conversation.

Day 30. 2,000 tankers trapped in the Persian Gulf. Oil at $107. Gas at $5. Trump says we're winning. Iran has launched 79 waves of strikes. We've dropped 10,000 bombs and we're running out of them. Putin is selling oil at a premium. Exxon just posted record profits. Congress is being handed a $200 billion tab. Nobody voted for this. Everybody's paying for it. This is The Mop-Up.

The United States is in a full-blown housing crisis — and Congress just passed the most significant bipartisan housing legislation in a generation: The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act cleared the Senate 89-10, co-sponsored by Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott. So why won’t it fix the problem? In this episode, we break down exactly what the bill does, what it deliberately leaves out, and why the structural forces driving housing unaffordability in America—rising mortgage rates, institutional investors, zoning failures, generational wealth inequality, and decades of racial exclusion—are largely untouched by any legislation currently on the table. From the redlining of Levittown and Stuyvesant Town to the 2008 financial crisis and the asset inflation chasm it created, we trace how homeownership became both the engine of the American Dream and the mechanism of its denial. We also look at what actually works, like how Vienna’s social housing model has kept half a city affordably housed for over a century, and ask the question no one in Washington wants to answer: short of a depression, what does it actually take to make housing affordable again?

House Democrats on the Oversight Committee are seeking testimony from three private investigators—Paul Lavery, Stephen Kiraly, and William Riley—who allegedly removed a significant amount of material from Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach home before law enforcement executed a search in 2005. According to letters sent by the committee, lawmakers want detailed accounts of what was taken, how it was handled, and where it is now, raising concerns that potentially critical evidence may have been diverted or hidden before authorities could access it.Lawmakers say it is “incredibly troubling” that Epstein's computers, hard drives, and other materials may have been in private hands rather than secured by law enforcement, potentially limiting what investigators—and now Congress—have been able to review. The committee has requested the preservation and production of all related materials, including digital storage, financial records, communications, and any documentation showing the chain of custody, as part of a broader effort to understand whether key evidence was effectively shielded during the early stages of the Epstein investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House Oversight panel seeks testimony from private investigators who removed evidence from Epstein's home - ABC News

Life keeps getting harder in Cuba as the country deals with persistent fuel shortages and power blackouts. President Trump has put the squeeze on the communist regime—which has been in power since 1959—ever since the U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. The oil lifeline Venezuela had been providing to Cuba was cut off, and the President is now threatening tariffs on any country that supplies oil to the island. Earlier this week, Andrea Linares, host of FOX Noticias on FOX Deportes and YouTube, spoke with Dave Anthony about the President's pressure campaign and the ultimate U.S. objectives. She shared what she is hearing from the Cuban people and discussed the likelihood that Cuba will finally open up to foreign investment.

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:03:01] Trump Has No Good Options — Walking Away Collapses the Petrodollar, Escalating Means Mass Casualties A detailed breakdown of the war's dead ends: a retreat hands Iran control of the Gulf and destroys what remains of the petrodollar, while escalation through a Karg Island invasion risks catastrophic US casualties against an enemy that has already rendered 13 bases uninhabitable. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:05:53] Iran Has Bombed Every US Base in the Middle East — Military Now Hiding in Hotels The New York Times confirms that all 13 US military bases across the Middle East are now virtually uninhabitable, with troops working remotely from hotels and civilian areas. Iran has accused the US of using civilians as human shields by dispersing personnel into populated areas. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:20:31] Army Raises Draft Age to 42 — Former Israeli Defense Minister Calls for US to Seize Karg Island The US Army has raised its maximum enlistment age from 35 to 42 as a sign of manpower strain, while former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant publicly calls for thousands of American troops to seize Karg Island — an operation his own analysis concedes would carry significant expected casualties. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:22:09] BlackRock CEO Does a U-Turn — Now Warns of Multi-Year Recession if Oil Stays Above $100 Larry Fink, who weeks ago called the Iran war a good long-term investment opportunity, has reversed course and now warns oil could remain above $100 per barrel for years, potentially hitting $150 and triggering a stark and steep global recession — while the United Airlines CEO is planning for $175. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:51:25] 36 States Have Laws Barring Criticism of Israel — US Soldier Investigated as National Security Threat for Anti-Israel Posts Glenn Greenwald details how 36 states legally prohibit government contractors from boycotting Israel — with no equivalent protection for any other country. A 20-year Army veteran is simultaneously revealed to be under investigation as a national security threat solely for anti-Israel social media posts. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:53:08] Tennessee State Senator Threatens Jewish Reporter on Camera for Asking About Israel Lobbying Tennessee State Senator Paul Rose physically threatened a Jewish journalist from Tennessee Holler on camera after being asked why he was introducing legislation to ban the word "Palestine" and replace it with "Judea and Samaria" — a bill traced directly to an Israeli annexation advocacy organization. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:59:04] UK Telegraph Scrubs Article on Christian Village's Ties to Hezbollah Under Pressure The Telegraph removed an article describing how a 6,000-strong Catholic Lebanese village formed strong bonds with Hezbollah after the group defended them from ISIS, provided medical care, electricity, and Christmas trees — with the deletion occurring the same day Israel announced plans to occupy southern Lebanon. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:01:49] Greater Israel Map: Israeli Soldier's Badge Shows Territory Spanning from Nile to Euphrates — 25x Current Size A detailed breakdown of the Greater Israel doctrine reveals an Israeli soldier's badge depicting a nation stretching from Egypt's Nile to Iraq's Euphrates — 25 times Israel's current territory, encompassing parts of seven sovereign nations where 120 million people live, with Finance Minister Smotrich caught on tape directing annexation without calling it annexation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:18:43] Constitutional Scholar: Iran War Is Flatly Unconstitutional — War Powers Act Itself Has No Basis in the Constitution John Birch Society editor Gary Benoit argues that Article I, Section 8 assigns war-making power exclusively to Congress, that the War Powers Act is itself unconstitutional, and that the "gang of eight" briefing Rubio gave has no constitutional basis — with both House and Senate having voted to abdicate their war authority. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:26:20] AI Combined With NSA's Decades of Stored Data Now Enables Total Surveillance Retroactively NSA whistleblower William Binney's warning — that the agency was saving everything on everyone while waiting for computing power to analyze it — is presented as now fully realized, with AI providing the retroactive collation capability Binney warned about, timed precisely with the Blackburn AI bill centralizing control in Washington. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:29:32] ICE Given Absolute Immunity — The Same Template Used to Bypass Accountability During COVID The grant of absolute immunity to ICE agents is mapped directly onto the COVID-era template of using emergency declarations to bypass constitutional constraints, with each new emergency — public health, immigration, war — ratcheting the police state further while the Overton window shifts to normalize it. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:42:04] 1913: Progressive Income Tax, Federal Reserve, and Direct Senate Elections — Three Communist Manifesto Planks in One Year The argument is made that 1913 was the pivotal year the US became structurally communist, with the 16th Amendment, Federal Reserve, and 17th Amendment all derived from Marx's Communist Manifesto — with the 17th Amendment specifically destroying the constitutional firewall between state and federal power by eliminating state representation in the Senate. ──────────────────────────────────────── 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.

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:03:01] Trump Has No Good Options — Walking Away Collapses the Petrodollar, Escalating Means Mass Casualties A detailed breakdown of the war's dead ends: a retreat hands Iran control of the Gulf and destroys what remains of the petrodollar, while escalation through a Karg Island invasion risks catastrophic US casualties against an enemy that has already rendered 13 bases uninhabitable. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:05:53] Iran Has Bombed Every US Base in the Middle East — Military Now Hiding in Hotels The New York Times confirms that all 13 US military bases across the Middle East are now virtually uninhabitable, with troops working remotely from hotels and civilian areas. Iran has accused the US of using civilians as human shields by dispersing personnel into populated areas. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:20:31] Army Raises Draft Age to 42 — Former Israeli Defense Minister Calls for US to Seize Karg Island The US Army has raised its maximum enlistment age from 35 to 42 as a sign of manpower strain, while former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant publicly calls for thousands of American troops to seize Karg Island — an operation his own analysis concedes would carry significant expected casualties. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:22:09] BlackRock CEO Does a U-Turn — Now Warns of Multi-Year Recession if Oil Stays Above $100 Larry Fink, who weeks ago called the Iran war a good long-term investment opportunity, has reversed course and now warns oil could remain above $100 per barrel for years, potentially hitting $150 and triggering a stark and steep global recession — while the United Airlines CEO is planning for $175. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:51:25] 36 States Have Laws Barring Criticism of Israel — US Soldier Investigated as National Security Threat for Anti-Israel Posts Glenn Greenwald details how 36 states legally prohibit government contractors from boycotting Israel — with no equivalent protection for any other country. A 20-year Army veteran is simultaneously revealed to be under investigation as a national security threat solely for anti-Israel social media posts. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:53:08] Tennessee State Senator Threatens Jewish Reporter on Camera for Asking About Israel Lobbying Tennessee State Senator Paul Rose physically threatened a Jewish journalist from Tennessee Holler on camera after being asked why he was introducing legislation to ban the word "Palestine" and replace it with "Judea and Samaria" — a bill traced directly to an Israeli annexation advocacy organization. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:59:04] UK Telegraph Scrubs Article on Christian Village's Ties to Hezbollah Under Pressure The Telegraph removed an article describing how a 6,000-strong Catholic Lebanese village formed strong bonds with Hezbollah after the group defended them from ISIS, provided medical care, electricity, and Christmas trees — with the deletion occurring the same day Israel announced plans to occupy southern Lebanon. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:01:49] Greater Israel Map: Israeli Soldier's Badge Shows Territory Spanning from Nile to Euphrates — 25x Current Size A detailed breakdown of the Greater Israel doctrine reveals an Israeli soldier's badge depicting a nation stretching from Egypt's Nile to Iraq's Euphrates — 25 times Israel's current territory, encompassing parts of seven sovereign nations where 120 million people live, with Finance Minister Smotrich caught on tape directing annexation without calling it annexation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:18:43] Constitutional Scholar: Iran War Is Flatly Unconstitutional — War Powers Act Itself Has No Basis in the Constitution John Birch Society editor Gary Benoit argues that Article I, Section 8 assigns war-making power exclusively to Congress, that the War Powers Act is itself unconstitutional, and that the "gang of eight" briefing Rubio gave has no constitutional basis — with both House and Senate having voted to abdicate their war authority. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:26:20] AI Combined With NSA's Decades of Stored Data Now Enables Total Surveillance Retroactively NSA whistleblower William Binney's warning — that the agency was saving everything on everyone while waiting for computing power to analyze it — is presented as now fully realized, with AI providing the retroactive collation capability Binney warned about, timed precisely with the Blackburn AI bill centralizing control in Washington. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:29:32] ICE Given Absolute Immunity — The Same Template Used to Bypass Accountability During COVID The grant of absolute immunity to ICE agents is mapped directly onto the COVID-era template of using emergency declarations to bypass constitutional constraints, with each new emergency — public health, immigration, war — ratcheting the police state further while the Overton window shifts to normalize it. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:42:04] 1913: Progressive Income Tax, Federal Reserve, and Direct Senate Elections — Three Communist Manifesto Planks in One Year The argument is made that 1913 was the pivotal year the US became structurally communist, with the 16th Amendment, Federal Reserve, and 17th Amendment all derived from Marx's Communist Manifesto — with the 17th Amendment specifically destroying the constitutional firewall between state and federal power by eliminating state representation in the Senate. ──────────────────────────────────────── 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-real-david-knight-show--5282736/support.

Synopsis:  Robert Reich Calls Out Corporate Power Threatening US Democracy This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description (original air date September 14, 2025)- The crisis we're in was a long time coming. Now that we're here, what do we do about it? Returning to the show, former Labor Secretary and longtime professor Robert Reich joins Laura Flanders to discuss two bullies tormenting U.S. democracy: concentrated wealth and corporate power. As Reich shares, growing income inequality yields corruption in our politics and economy. No one election will change everything, but that's not a reason not to act, and act quickly to defeat the Trump administration — in Congress, and at the polls. Reich's latest Substack, “Should Democrats Shut Down the Government?” presents some ideas. Reich's latest book is “Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America”. He  is also the subject of “The Last Class” about his final semester teaching at UC Berkeley's Goldman School. He's the author of eighteen books, including the bestsellers, “Aftershock” and “The System: Who Rigged It and How We Fix It,” and is co-founder of Inequality Media. Online, you can find Reich's viral video explainers and his widely-read newsletter on Substack. Join Reich and Flanders as they unpack how economic and political power intersect in American life – and catch Laura's two cents on “democratic capitalism.” “If the Republicans who now control Congress say, “‘We're not going to give you any role at all, and we are not even going to reassume our constitutional role as Congress,' then I think the Democrats have no choice but to say, ‘Forget it. That's it. The only way we bring attention to this crisis is we stop and shut the whole place down.'” - Robert Reich Guest:  Robert Reich- Former Secretary of Labor; Professor Emeritus, University of California Berkeley; Author, Coming Up Short: My Memoir of America Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

A last-minute Senate deal drops in the middle of the night, leaving more questions than answers. As lawmakers head out on vacation, tensions rise over the SAFE Act, DHS funding, and accusations of political gamesmanship. Is this strategy—or sabotage? ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY A surprise overnight deal in the Senate has sparked confusion and frustration across Washington. With limited details available, lawmakers and commentators are left questioning what's actually inside the agreement—especially regarding DHS funding and ICE. The conversation quickly turns to the SAFE Act, which has been stalled for months despite growing public pressure. Critics argue that Senate leadership is deliberately delaying action, using procedural tactics and timing to avoid a decisive vote. As the House scrambles to respond and lawmakers leave for recess, the situation highlights deeper divisions—not just between parties, but within them. The episode explores the power struggles, political incentives, and mounting pressure from voters that could ultimately determine what happens next.

A 2AM Senate deal sparks confusion and suspicion, while a deeper dive into Iran reveals warnings that were never new—just ignored. Then, a powerful reality check: are you playing it safe… or wasting your potential? ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY The episode opens with a breaking overnight Senate deal that immediately raises red flags. With little transparency and lawmakers heading out on recess, questions swirl around what's actually inside—especially regarding DHS, ICE, and the stalled SAFE Act. As frustration builds, the focus shifts to internal political battles, highlighting divisions within leadership and growing public pressure to act. The timing, tactics, and lack of clarity fuel concerns about whether this is governance—or strategic avoidance. The conversation then pivots to Iran, where long-standing warnings about nuclear capabilities and missile development take center stage. Past statements from officials across multiple administrations are revisited, reinforcing the idea that current tensions didn't appear overnight. The episode closes on a completely different—but powerful—note, inspired by Denzel Washington. A viral speech challenges listeners to rethink failure, risk, and unrealized potential—asking a simple but uncomfortable question: are you truly trying, or just getting by?

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should Congress ban betting on government actions, terrorism and war? Michael examines a wave of suspicious trading activity that appears to anticipate major geopolitical decisions—from U.S. strikes abroad to sudden policy reversals—raising questions about who knows what, and when. With new legislation proposed to prohibit wagering on sensitive events, the debate pits national security and ethics against free markets and predictive insight. Are these platforms valuable forecasting tools, or dangerous incentives that could invite manipulation and undermine public trust? Listen here, then vote! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
