Since September, the United States has taken credit for at least seven attacks against boats in the Caribbean, killing dozens of people. The Trump administration claims they were carrying deadly drugs into the U.S. from Venezuela and could be treated as though they're enemy troops. Officials, however, have not publicly disclosed any evidence to verify President Donald Trump's claims. Then last week, two people survived a U.S. attack, but they were not from Venezuela. Today, host Colby Itkowitz speaks with national security reporter Alex Horton about the survivors of this recent U.S. boat strike in the Caribbean and how it's fueling more political tension in Latin America and speculation about a larger U.S. military intervention in Venezuela.Today's show was produced by Elana Gordon, with help from Emma Talkoff. It was edited by Peter Bresnan with help from Ariel Plotnick. It was mixed by Sam Bair. Thanks to Andy deGrandpre. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.
Every Israeli-Palestinian peace deal has failed. Could Trump's be any different?On Oct. 10, the Israeli cabinet approved a cease-fire deal brokered by the Trump administration, Turkey and Qatar. Since then, the living Israeli hostages have come home. Nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israel have been freed. Israeli forces have partially withdrawn from the Gaza Strip, and they're allowing in more desperately needed aid. This is finally, hopefully, the end of this war.But that was just the first part of the deal. The next phase is a lot more ambitious — and ambiguous. And while President Trump said the region would now “live, God willing, in peace for all eternity,” history would suggest otherwise.Robert Malley has worked on Middle East policy under President Barack Obama, President Joe Biden and President Bill Clinton. Hussein Agha negotiated on the Palestinian side, working under both Yasir Arafat, the first president of the Palestinian Authority, and the P.A.'s current president, Mahmoud Abbas. Together they wrote a sweeping new history of attempts at peace, “Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine.” They join me to examine what could go right — or wrong — as the rest of the deal takes shape.Mentioned:Tomorrow Is Yesterday by Hussein Agha and Robert MalleyBook Recommendations:One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El AkkadSay Nothing by Patrick Radden KeefeDirty Hands by Jean-Paul SartreThe Just Assassins by Albert CamusThe History of the Peloponnesian War by ThucydidesThe Man Without Qualities by Robert MusilHollywood Babylon by Kenneth AngerThoughts?

SEASON 4 EPISODE 21: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) COULD TRUMP PASS A SANITY TEST? Warning: this is a PARTIAL RE-RUN. If you heard Thursday's episode, don't bother. But I got such a great response to re-reading and annotating and updating my July 2016 piece for Vanity Fair Magazine on this topic that I wanted to post this as a stand-alone segment in case you skipped it and had time to listen now. The Thursday news-of-the-day stuff has gotten slightly outdated so I've stripped it off. As you know, I don't make a habit of re-posting episodes and I'm not going to start. Again: if you listened to the whole thing Thursday, this is NOT going to be new to you. Don't listen - unless you're trying to memorize it. SO... COULD TRUMP PASS A SANITY TEST? I have grown old talking about Trump's sanity. As I wrote then: short answer? Probably not. This is a layman using professional tools: an actual kind of "triage" test used by working psychology professionals to assess if somebody is injured, tripping, or psychopathic. I had an active therapist walk through the examination and assign the points per topic. It's an important time to review what we knew - or should have known - nine long years ago. Because he was unwell then, too. B-Block (24:31) PART TWO OF "CAN TRUMP PASS A SANITY TEST": We conclude the annotated 2016 piece on Trump's already provable mental distress with the disturbing reality that takes us back to where we began on Thursday with Representative Madeleine Dean's lament: "The president is unwell." C-Block (45:00) THIS IS JUST THE SIGN-OFF: Honestly, there is no reason to listen to this. It's just the credits.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Donald Trump has found his next big foreign policy project: Peace in the Middle East. And where that's a goal hat has vexed generations of presidential administrations, Trump believes he can force a breakthrough with a bit of help from his friends in the region.

Today, he welcomes Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to the White House to talk about a nascent 21-point plan for peace in Gaza. Could Trump succeed where so many others have failed? Playbook's Jack Blanchard and Dasha Burns unpack it all. Plus, Trump's efforts at lawfare drastically escalate.

Trump’s alignment with the tech fascists is expanding as evidenced b y his recent meeting with Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and a who’s who of technocratic oligarchs. They are salivating over the reset of global power structures and Trump just might be the guy to help them realize their malignant power heist. Digital control grids are being rolled out across the globe via digital ID and social credit scoring systems in places like China, Vietnam and the outcomes have been devastating for humanity. The regular folks are revolting, opting for barter and cash but that’s not stopping Trump and the techno-fascists here in America. We’ll take a look at what life is like under techno-fascism and talk about how we can resist them here. If China can effectively resist, so can WE! Also today - are you going to fall for Trump’s latest Rope-a-Dope? He posted a video condemning ALL VACCINES as poison because of thimerosal contamination and MAGA is celebrating because they think he has finally seen the light.

Could Donald Trump ever be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize? Michael speaks with with University of Agder Professor Dr. Øyvind Tønnesson, a former advisor to the Nobel Institute, for a provocative conversation about peace, politics, and character. With historical insight and sharp commentary, they debate whether Trump — even if he brokered peace in Ukraine — would ever be a viable candidate. An unmissable episode about power, perception, and the most prestigious prize on earth. Original air date 19 August 2025.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Will this summit move the world toward peace or harden the deadlock? Hanson lays out why the Biden administration has avoided such meetings, why the “Putin puppet” narrative has gone silent, and what Trump's high-stakes negotiating strategy could mean for the war's endgame on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “We're gonna have this summit. And Trump is going to say to Putin, ‘You can have no NATO Ukraine. You can have the Crimea. You can have the Donbas. I think I can get Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people to agree. But we've gotta fight over how far west you are and whether you have to go back or will stay in place.' And then he's going to have to tell Zelenskyy, ‘We're supplying you. That's the only leverage we have against Putin, along with a secondary boycott. But you have to decide whether you're going to cede the Donbas, Crimea, and some of the territory. Because if you don't, there's not going to be a peace. And if there's not going to be a peace, we can't assure you a blank check forever.'”

President Trump has his focus set on tackling the rising crime in Washington, D.C., yet somehow the Left is fighting him on it. The media is claiming that crime is down in D.C., but Glenn doesn't buy it. One ABC anchor broke the script and admitted that crime in D.C. is a massive problem. Could Trump's D.C. takeover lead to D.C. turning into a purple district? Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) joins to discuss how Democrats and Republicans have voted together to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify on Jeffrey Epstein.

Could Donald Trump's plan to impose a 100% tariff on imported semiconductors serve to derail Clare and the Mid West? Last week, the US president again threatened to announce separate tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports “within the next week or so”. Mr Trump also made particular mention of Ireland in doing so during an interview with CNBC. That's despite confirmation from the White House that the 15% tariff agreed between the European Union and the United States includes pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. Analog Devices, Microchip and Onsemi are huge employers in the MidWest and also produce huge volumes of semi-conductors. What affect would such a hike have, if President Trump carries out his threat? To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Pat Clarke Browne, Owner-operator at Munster Business in Shannon.

Epstein Backlash Could Fracture Trump's Coalition + Could AOC Become President? + Will Israel Divide Democrats Chuck Todd begins with the story that won't quit: Jeffrey Epstein. He explains why failing to release the files amounts to a major broken campaign promise to Donald Trump's base and why it could fracture the Republican coalition if they can't find a resolution by the time the house reconvenes in September. He also addresses the resolution to his Google AI debacle and highlights the challenges and opportunities being presented to independent parties.Then, Semafor's editor-in-chief, Ben Smith joins Chuck to discuss the evolving media landscape and the challenges facing modern journalism. Smith explains Semafor's mission to operate without paywalls while producing network-quality content, and explores how new technology causes media to fragment before consolidating. The conversation delves into the transition from print to digital journalism, the incentive structures that drive sensationalized content for clicks, and how the current fragmented media environment mirrors pre-World War II politics rather than the more stable Cold War era.The discussion also covers major political developments, including the implications of New York City's mayoral race results and what they reveal about energy on the political left. Smith and Todd analyze the prospects of various Democratic figures like AOC and Hakeem Jeffries, the ongoing divisions within the Democratic Party over Israel-Palestine, and Trump's immigration policies that appear to be testing voter patience. They conclude by examining whether America's polarized politics are being exported to Israel or if Israel's political dynamics are a preview of America's future, while touching on the broader question of whether wealthy elites recognize the growing populist sentiment against them.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment!Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction02:45 Trump can't shake the Epstein story04:00 Some Republican voters have been “conditioned” on Epstein conspiracy06:00 Trump voters will view Epstein files as a broken campaign promise 08:30 Republican members of congress are breaking with Trump10:15 Shutting down the house made the problem worse12:30 Trump has made his relationship with Epstein the story14:15 J.D.

Chuck Rocha returns from the mangroves of Mexico, roosters and all, just in time for a deep dive into the "Big, Beautiful Budget Bill" that's anything but beautiful—especially for Latinos. Joined by Senior Washington Correspondent for The Independent Eric Garcia and co-host Mike Madrid, the trio breaks down what really went down on Capitol Hill, from backroom Senate deals to ICE's ballooning budget, and why Latinos—particularly Latinas—might be the sleeping giant of 2024.
