On today's show, former A Public Affair host, Zoltán Grossman, is back behind the mic in conversation with political anthropologist, David Vine. They talk about the on-again-off-again war between the US and Iran, the proliferation of US military bases around the world, and the scale of the US military budget. Vine's scholarship shows how US military bases are the linchpin of the expansion of the US empire, creating the conditions for perpetual war. Gulf States have hosted US bases for decades, making them targets in the US war with Iran. US bases encircle the globe and more are planned for construction in the Philippines. Contrary to the claims that these bases protect US democracy, in reality, they ramp up geopolitical tensions and harm the local communities they impose on. With an erratic and dangerous president at home, Vine says that we need to start closing down these bases because they continue to operate as launch pads for unjust wars. Close the bases, bring the troops home, and build up diplomacy, says Vine. With the $100 billion the US spends on these bases, Vine says we could be funding universal healthcare and free college education.  David Vine is a political anthropologist and author of a trilogy of books about war and peace, including The United States of War: A Global History of America's Endless Conflicts, from Columbus to the Islamic State, Base Nation: How U.S. Military Bases Abroad Harm America and the World, and Island of Shame: The Secret History of the U.S. Military Base on Diego Garcia. Vine was a professor of anthropology at American University in Washington, DC from 2006 to 2024. He recently co-authored the Project On Government Oversight report The True Total U.S. Military Budget.  Featured image of a map of US military bases in the Middle East via Wikimedia Commons (CC0 1.0).

In this hard-hitting segment, the host reacts to breaking news from Fox: President Trump is reconsidering his aggressive "Bridge and Power Plant Day" strikes after Iran dragged its feet on a peace deal. Following a brutal reality check from the New York Post, the host tears into the administration's prolonged, "proportional" response strategy that has left U.S. troops exposed as cannon fodder. The host breaks down the terrifying global reach of Iran's missile program—highlighting a recent ballistic strike on the joint U.S.-UK base at Diego Garcia—and argues that Trump's narcissism and desperate pursuit of the historic Abraham Accords have compromised military safety. The bottom line? It's time to stop treating an ideological enemy like a New York real estate negotiation, unleash Israel, and eliminate the threat for good!

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down Iran's first direct ballistic missile attack on Israel since the April ceasefire, Israel's decision to fire back despite Trump's direct orders not to, and what the 100-day mark of this war actually tells us about where it is headed. With global oil stocks now roughly two weeks from critical levels and Iran demanding $24 billion in frozen assets before serious negotiations can begin, Bryan lays out why a fast resolution is increasingly unlikely and what it would actually take to change that calculus. He also digs into a Democratic Socialist professor openly cheering for Iran to bring down the American empire, the Anthropic AI model called Mythos that is alarming even its own creators, and a surprising area of agreement between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump on government ownership of AI companies. Plus, Bryan profiles the Islamist Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan who just landed the UAW endorsement and could be headed to a razor-thin general election, covers Antifa attacks on the ICE facility in Newark, a fired Hawaii immigration judge who immediately announced plans to work for the Democratic Party, a Biden-appointed Boston judge blocking Trump's DEI and Title IX enforcement, and closes with the geopolitical chess match over Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands that Bryan says he would personally volunteer to govern.

What REALLY happened to MH370? Researcher and investigator Ashton Forbes joins the show to break down one of the internet's most controversial theories — that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 may not have crashed at all. Forbes explores claims that MH370 was teleported or redirected to Diego Garcia using advanced classified technology. The discussion dives into the fate of the passengers, newly released UFO files, secret aerospace programs, missing scientists, and whether breakthrough cold fusion energy technology could change warfare forever. Could governments already possess technology decades ahead of what the public knows? Why are certain scientists disappearing? And what role could advanced energy systems play in global conflicts like Iran? This episode explores: • The MH370 Diego Garcia theory. • UFO disclosure and hidden technology. • Cold fusion and next-generation energy. • Missing scientists connected to advanced research. • Military applications of breakthrough tech. • Government secrecy and black projects. • The future of war and surveillance. Watch until the end for Ashton Forbes' most controversial claims yet.

1. The Special Relationship Under Scrutiny Guest: Victoria Coates and Gordon Chang Summary: Coates analyzes the historical US-UK bond, criticizing Prime Minister Keir Starmer for compromising strategic assets like Diego Garcia. She highlights Britain's degraded military capabilities and suggests Washington should prioritize "New Europe" partners like Poland. 11885

STREAMING MAKING OF THE JBS, FEATURING GORDON CHANG, VICTORIA COATES, MARK SIMON, STEVE YATES, 4-29-26"SEND YOUR BINOCULARS TO THE NAVY"This transcript from The John Bachelor Show explores the shifting dynamics of the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom, specifically under the leadership of Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The participants argue that Britain's global influence is declining, citing military inadequacies and a failure to protect strategic assets like Diego Garcia. The conversation then transitions to the dire health of imprisoned Hong Kong activist Jimmy Lai, framing his treatment as a symbol of the Chinese Communist Party's uncompromising authoritarianism. Furthermore, the experts analyze a potential summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, questioning whether such a meeting is appropriate while China supports adversaries like Iran and Russia. Ultimately, the speakers advocate for a tougher stance against the "devil's triangle" of Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran, suggesting that the U.S. should prioritize newer European allies like Poland over traditional partners.

China's strategy in the Pacific is not just military — it's political, economic, and deeply embedded in places most Americans rarely think about. In this follow-up episode of The China Desk, host Steve Yates welcomes back Cleo Paskal, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, to build on their earlier conversation and go deeper into what a real Pacific conflict could look like — and where the United States is most vulnerable. Paskal explains why any Chinese move on Taiwan would require neutralizing Guam and other U.S. territories in the Pacific, not necessarily through direct military strikes, but through political warfare, infrastructure disruption, and influence operations designed to delay or weaken an American response. A major focus of the conversation is the vulnerability of U.S. territories like the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), where visa policies, corruption, and weak enforcement mechanisms have created potential entry points for Chinese influence and intelligence activity. The discussion also explores: • Why Guam is central to any Taiwan conflict scenario • How China uses political warfare to undermine U.S. military advantage • The role of U.S. Pacific territories in national defense strategy • Visa loopholes and security risks in the Northern Mariana Islands • How corruption acts as an entry point for CCP influence • Why Americans misunderstand the geography of their own country • The importance of the Pacific as a strategic “corridor” • How China studies World War II strategy in the Pacific • The concept of disabling infrastructure without triggering war • What a “block and build” strategy looks like in practice • How the U.S. can support allies like Palau under pressure • When economic ties with China become a strategic liability • The risks exposed by the Diego Garcia debate and UK policy decisions • Why allied coordination is critical in a potential Indo-Pacific conflict Paskal also highlights how gaps in U.S. awareness — both among policymakers and the public — have allowed key vulnerabilities to persist, particularly in overlooked territories that play outsized roles in national security. The conversation concludes with a stark warning: if the United States does not address corruption, policy blind spots, and strategic neglect in the Pacific, it risks creating vulnerabilities not just for itself, but for its allies across the region. 00:00 — Intro + Cleo Paskal returns to the China Desk 01:28 — Recap of Episode 89 and Pacific strategy framework 02:14 — Taiwan conflict scenario: why Guam matters 04:13 — Political warfare vs kinetic warfare 06:23 — Disabling Guam without triggering U.S. response 07:50 — Cognitive warfare and shaping U.S. public opinion 09:35 — CNMI visa loopholes and security risks 11:11 — Chinese access to U.S. territory explained 12:16 — Policy failures and lack of enforcement 13:54 — Why the Pacific is overlooked in U.S. strategy 14:42 — How maps distort American understanding 16:28 — Rethinking U.S. geography and strategic positioning 19:03 — Historical roots of U.S. Pacific strategy 20:27 — “Block and build” strategy explained 21:30 — Palau agreements and countering CCP influence 23:09 — Supporting allies through stability and security 25:29 — When economic ties become strategic risk 26:12 — UK, China, and the Diego Garcia controversy 29:08 — Legal, military, and nuclear implications 31:06 — Iran conflict and alliance reliability concerns 33:00 — Risks of dependence on allies in conflict 34:56 — Corruption risks in CNMI and governance failures 37:04 — Final warning: systemic vulnerabilities in U.S. strategy 38:44 — Closing thoughts and where to follow Cleo Watch Full-Length Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@ChinaDeskFNW

On this Friday episode of Good Morning Liberty, Nate and Charles run "Dumb Bleep of the Week," reacting to what they see as shifting, unreliable claims around the Iran conflict—especially Trump's moving strike timelines, talk of "great negotiations," and the story of Iran gifting "eight boats" (then "ten boats") of oil, which they note Bloomberg tanker data didn't substantiate. They question reports that Iran struck Diego Garcia based only on unnamed officials and criticize what they call war propaganda from figures like Alan Dershowitz, Rubio, JD Vance (including a "nuclear suicide vest" scenario), Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, and Lindsey Graham's talk of taking an island and invoking Iwo Jima. The audience votes Trump's admission about avoiding the word "war" because it would require approval as the week's dumbest moment, and the hosts plug their "Fed Haters Club" membership. 00:00 Show Intro Banter 01:38 Dumb Week Setup 02:58 Trump Iran Boats 10:13 Timeline Extensions 12:14 Off Ramp Debate 14:22 Diego Garcia Truther 19:56 Propaganda Hitler Claims 23:17 Rubio DVance Nukes 30:13 Ground Troops Talk 31:50 Ben Shapiro Tease 32:01 Shapiro Sells the War 33:59 Oil Strait Justification 35:44 Lindsey Graham Iwo Jima Talk 39:30 Trump Avoids Saying War 44:48 Israel Hypocrisy Debate 47:05 America First Award Satire 49:40 Mask Discourse Returns 52:11 Wealth Tax and Corporate Rates 58:31 Voting Results and Wrap Up

 //The Wire//2300Z March 23, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: PRESIDENT TRUMP ISSUES 48 HOUR ULTIMATUM FOR IRAN TO OPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, BEFORE CHANGING STANCE AND IMPLEMENTING 5 DAY CEASEFIRE. MAJOR AVIATION INCIDENT REPORTED AT LAGUARDIA. MULTIPLE IEDS DISCOVERED IN MARYLAND PARK.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: Over the weekend the situation deteriorated significantly, with the war heating up on many fronts. President Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran for them to open the Strait of Hormuz, or else the United States will destroy their civilian power plants. This morning, President Trump stated that "productive conversations" had been conducted with Iranian officials, and that the US has emplaced a 5-day halt on the bombing campaign throughout Iran.Indian Ocean: Statements made by NATO officials have refuted the claims made by US officials regarding the alleged Iranian missile attack on Diego Garcia. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that they "cannot confirm" various details of the strike, or that the missiles were fired by Iran. This statement came two days after the Iranians denied responsibility for the attack, stating that they did not launch any missiles at Diego Garcia.Analyst Comment: Whatever the truth is, it can't be independently confirmed due to the nature of the targeting effort occurring in space, outside with realm of eyewitnesses. Either way, it must be noted for posterity that NATO has expressed uncertainty regarding what missile it might have been, and the Iranians are denying that it was them.Israel: As the war continues, Iranian forces conducted two major retaliatory strikes over the weekend. The first ballistic missile attack occurred a few miles from the Israeli Dimona nuclear facility, with the warhead landing in a heavily urbanized area near where Israeli scientists are known to live. Separately, another Iranian missile targeted the city of Arad, which resulted in a mass casualty event.Analyst Comment: The Dimona strike was significant as the munition itself appeared to have demonstrated some means of maneuverability in the terminal stages of it's flight, which allowed the warhead to evade missile defenses. If this was intentional, this is more evidence that the Iranians are shifting to their better missiles, which have more capability. Additionally, the response to these strikes signals a shift in Israeli perspective on the war. Previously, Israel has cracked down hard on all media regarding successful Iranian strikes, with footage and geolocation of any successful impacts being extremely hard to come by. With these strikes however, the media lockdown has been lifted, with PM Netanyahu himself visited both sites and conducting media briefings at the impact craters. The reasons for this change of policy are anyone's guess, but it is significant enough to be aware of.United Kingdom: Over the weekend an arson attack was reported at a Synagogue in Golder's Green, which involved unknown assailants setting multiple private ambulances on fire in the parking area adjacent to the facility.Analyst Comment: These ambulances were being parked at the Synagogue, but they actually belong to Hatzola Northwest, a private ambulance service for the local area. In any case, video surveillance of Heighfield Road is substantial and there are no less than eight high-resolution security cameras which would have caught the attackers setting these ambulances on fire, so they'll probably be caught very soon.-HomeFront-Maryland: Sunday afternoon, local authorities responded to reports of multiple suspicious packages within Fort Washington Park. U.S. Park Police responded to the reports, which resulted in the discovery of 5x Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) of pipe-bomb-type construction. The park was closed as the Prince George County Explosive Ordnance Disposal

1. DHS Shutdown and Airport Chaos DHS has been unfunded for weeks, causing TSA agents to miss multiple paychecks. Resulting effects include: Long airport security lines (2–5 hours) Missed flights and disrupted travel TSA resignations and staffing shortages TSA workers are described as financially vulnerable, relying on food banks and quitting due to unpaid wages. 2. Political Blame Attribution The shutdown is entirely caused by Democrats, specifically Senate Democrats. Republicans have repeatedly voted to fund DHS, but lack the 60 votes needed to overcome Democratic opposition. Democrats are accused of: Using DHS funding as leverage due to opposition to ICE Willingly harming TSA and the public to satisfy an “open borders” activist base Media outlets are obscuring Democratic responsibility by using neutral language like “Congress failed.” 3. ICE Funding Paradox Despite the shutdown being framed as “defunding ICE” by liberals, ICE is already funded for several years due to a prior reconciliation bill. Irony emphasized: ICE agents are paid TSA agents are not The shutdown hurts the public but does not affect ICE, making it symbolic rather than practical. 4. Proposed Republican Strategy Suggested workaround: Fund all of DHS except ICE to reopen government operations Then pass a reconciliation bill to fund ICE long-term (10 years) and increase its budget This reflects the belief that Democrats may never again vote for ICE funding. 5. National Security and Terrorism Concerns The shutdown is dangerous amid: Recent terrorist attacks Heightened risk of future attacks Airports are described as “soft targets” due to crowding and chaos. Democrats are accused of reckless disregard for security consequences. 6. Iran Conflict Escalation President Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Threat: destruction of Iranian power plants if Iran does not comply. The U.S. military campaign is: Massive and successful Targeting missiles, drones, naval assets, and military leadership Having destroyed large portions of Iran’s navy and infrastructure Goal articulated: collapse of the Iranian regime, not just deterrence. 7. Strait of Hormuz and Economic Impact Closure of the Strait is linked to: Rising oil and gas prices Global economic disruption This is presented as a key reason for escalating U.S. threats. 8. UK and Diego Garcia Involvement Iran fired missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.–UK military base. This attack is forcing the UK into a more active defensive role. UK involvement is welcomed but portrayed as insufficient and overdue. 9. Internal Democratic Party Conflict Chuck Schumer is: an Obstructionist Weak and facing rebellion from the party’s left wing Progressive Democrats are wanting even more aggressive shutdown tactics. Parallels drawn between Schumer’s instability and Starmer’s political vulnerability. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Iran fires long-range missiles for the first time, revealing it can now strike far beyond the Middle East, and President Trump issues a stark ultimatum that could push the war into a dangerous new phase. I'll have the latest from the war in Iran. Russia is once again increasing military pressure along Ukraine's eastern front, setting conditions for what could become its next major offensive of the war. A swarm of unidentified drones repeatedly breached the airspace of a U.S. Air Force base tied to the nation's nuclear deterrent, raising questions about how something like this was able to happen at all. After weeks at sea, a Russian-linked oil tanker bound for Cuba changes course for Trinidad, as President Donald Trump's sanctions strategy forces Moscow to retreat from aiding the communist island.To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting https://PDBPremium.com.Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of The President's Daily Brief.YouTube: youtube.com/@presidentsdailybriefAmerican Financing: Call American Financing today to find out how customers are saving an avg of $800/mo.

Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Adam Sosnick, and Vincent Oshana break down Trump extending his Iran ultimatum amid Strait of Hormuz tensions, Iran's long-range missile attempt on Diego Garcia, Robert Mueller's death, TSA chaos tied to the DHS shutdown, and new Epstein-related revelations.------

In this episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, New York Sun columnist and Rush Limbaugh Show alum Dean Karayanis delivers a candid, no-holds-barred look at the intersection of military propaganda, political legacies, and the double standards of the American establishment. Military Fact-Check: A deep dive into the viral IRGC footage claiming to show a downed American F-35. Featuring insights from combat veteran Ryan Bodenheimer (Max Afterburner), Dean explains why the "thermal" evidence is likely AI-generated and why Iran's PR machine is their only successful front. The Robert Mueller Legacy: Following the death of the former FBI Director, Dean pushes back against the "secular sainthood" being granted by the media. He explores the fallout of the 2016 investigation, the concept of "process crimes," and why criticizing public figures is a fundamental American right. The Iran War & Global Security: An analysis of the strike on Diego Garcia and what it reveals about Iran's true missile capabilities. Dean discusses the vindication of Reagan's SDI (Star Wars) vision and the shifting stances of European allies like Spain and the U.K. as the threat reaches their borders. Cultural Commentary: From the passing of Chuck Norris to the pervasive rise of gambling in pro sports, Dean tackles how "politics" is selectively used to overshadow legacies and the unexpected areas where he finds common ground with AOC.

WATCH on Youtube: https://youtu.be/QkgblL2MTJc Trump says the U.S. is having "very strong talks" with Iran. Israel seems to be sending the opposite signal. Then the Diego Garcia missile story drops, and suddenly the same people who needed an "imminent threat" are acting like a half-confirmed report changes everything. In this episode, Nate and Charlie walk through the contradictions, the propaganda, and the incentives driving every side of the Iran story. 00:00 Show kickoff 00:49 Trump five day pause 03:24 Iran denies talks 09:49 Israel strikes anyway 12:49 China angle theory 15:25 Who is Trump talking to 17:49 Israel names contact 23:42 Diego Garcia missiles 30:44 Diego Garcia Doubts 31:57 Imminent Threat Narrative 42:44 Why Target Diego Garcia 46:12 Fog of War Wrap 47:13 Gas Price Satire 48:15 Channel Updates Outro  

From airport security chaos to COVID vaccine dangers and international missile threats, the mainstream narrative is leaving Americans in the dark. In this episode: Democrats' push to defund ICE and CBP, and the consequences for airport security and national safety. How embalmers and scientists documented COVID vaccine-induced blood clots — and were silenced by social media censorship. European studies confirming vaccine-linked clotting, while U.S. media downplayed the risk. Iran's missile capabilities revealed after media initially dismissed Trump's intelligence claims. The personal trauma narratives of Democratic politicians and how media frames “childhood adversity.” A deep dive into censorship, political messaging, and the truths the mainstream media won't tell you. ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY ICE at Airports: Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries' warnings vs. real-world enforcement; tips to survive untrained ICE deployment. Defunding Enforcement: How defunding ICE/CBP impacts border security, airport lines, and public safety. COVID Vaccine Clots: Embalmers' video evidence, FBI censorship, and European studies finally revealing VITT antibody patterns. Iran Missile Threats: Trump's intelligence on Iran's long-range missiles, media dismissals, and the Diego Garcia strike. Media Bias: How mainstream outlets amplify foreign sources over U.S. intelligence and underreport real risks. Political Trauma: Democrat leaders discuss childhood struggles, divorce, and parental trauma, reframed as political narratives.

A major narrative collapse: Iran's missile capabilities, media credibility, and political alliances all come under fire. After repeated claims that Iran lacked long-range missile reach, a strike near a key U.S.-U.K. base tells a different story. This episode breaks down the fallout—from intelligence confirmations to media reactions—and the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy, national security, and internal political division. ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY Claims that Iran lacked long-range missile capability are challenged Reports emerge of a strike near Diego Garcia, far beyond previously stated ranges Media figures and officials accused of repeating misleading narratives Debate intensifies over Iran's role, U.S. response, and political alignment Broader concerns about national security and global escalation

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is far more advanced than most of us realize. In fact, it may be the instrument through which the Antichrist comes to power. Tech entrepreneur and billionaire Peter Thiel delivered four lectures in Rome this week on the subject of the Antichrist. He was disavowed by the Vatican and Catholic universities in Rome, and protesters gathered outside the private, invitation only events. The irony, according to Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis, author of the forthcoming book The New AI Cold War (next week's guest on A View from the Bunker), is that while Thiel correctly foresees the coming of the prophesied Antichrist, he excludes the AI-powered surveillance system created by his own company from the Beast system that will be used to enslave of humanity. We also discussed an important news item that broke overnight: Iran launched two medium-range ballistic missiles at the US airbase on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. This is significant. Until the last 24 hours, experts did not believe Iran had missiles with that kind of range. Now, we know Iran can reach every European capital, including London, with its weapons. Maybe, just maybe, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu had access to intelligence that the experts did not, and Iran was, in fact, more of a clear and present danger to the world than their critics would like us to believe. Finally, we again discuss the theological imagery of the 2016 movie Godzilla: King of Monsters. If you haven't seen it, we recommend it. Of course, it's fun to watch giant monster movies (at least for us), but the religious symbolism in the movie – not least of which is referring to Godzilla and his giant colleagues as “the Titans: the original and rightful rulers of earth.” the movie, depicts a struggle between the leader of the fallen sons of God from Genesis 6, Shemihazah, and Satan – with Shemihazah and his colleagues, the rebellious Watchers described in the Book of 1 Enoch, as the heroes of the conflict.

The UK has criticised Iran after it fired missiles towards Diego Garcia. Farmers say the war will increase food prices. The former FBI Chief, Robert Mueller, has died.

March 16, 1990. San Francisco County, California. 17-year old Toni Clark, who happens to be two months pregnant, leaves her cousin's residence in Oakland to drive back to her apartment in San Bruno in her boyfriend's Chevrolet Camaro. Shortly thereafter, the stalled Camaro is discovered on the Bay Bridge and after another motorist crashes into it, investigators conclude that Toni was likely propelled off the bridge into San Francisco Bay. However, Toni's body is never recovered and there are a number of odd discrepancies, such as reported sightings of a black male next to the Camaro shortly before the accident and a bizarre anonymous phone call to Toni's mother, which cause speculation that Toni was abducted. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we will explore whether Toni Clark was actually the victim of a tragic accident or if something much more sinister happened. In addition, we'll also discuss the unsolved disappearances of 28-year old Diego Garcia, 41-year old Carmen Burhans Garcia and eight-year old Barbara Burhans, who all vanished after leaving their home in Los Angeles in March 1982 before their abandoned car was discovered 250 miles away at the bottom of a gorge in the San Gabriel Mountains.

Today, President Trump has publicly criticised Keir Starmer saying “This is not Winston Churchill we're dealing with”.The comments came during a press conference at the White House alongside the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. President Trump said he was “not happy with the UK” because of the initial refusal from London to let Washington use the British base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean during its first strikes on Iran.It comes as the UK government has announced it is sending “helicopters with counter drone capabilities” and a warship to the region, after attacks on it's base in Cyprus. Financial markets have also reacted to the uncertainty with oil and gas prices rising, and share prices down.

The fallout from America's audacious attack on Iran continues, and there are a whole host of questions for Keir Starmer.The prime minister has been accused of being slow to react, having initially confirmed that ‘the United Kingdom played no role in these strikes', Labour since agreed to allow the Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford bases to be used for ‘defensive' strikes on Iranian missiles sites. This came after Tehran began to hit back at Britain's regional allies. Is Britain about to be sucked into another costly war in the Middle East? Should the PM stand up to Donald Trump? And will America's attack result in regime change, or are things only going to get worse?James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Michael Stephens, Middle East expert.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan reacts to President Trump's eyebrow-raising comments about classified information and aliens, then pivots to a far more earthly threat as new reporting reveals U.S. taxpayer dollars helped fund research collaborations with Chinese military-linked institutions. Bryan also breaks down fresh evidence that China secretly conducted a nuclear test, why Greenland's missile defense position is critical to America's survival, and why Trump has issued a 10-day warning to Iran as U.S. carrier groups surge into the Middle East. He explains the stakes surrounding Diego Garcia, rising tensions with Mauritius, and the seizure of another sanctioned oil tanker in the Indian Ocean. The episode turns to political shockwaves in the United Kingdom and Washington following new Jeffrey Epstein revelations, including the arrest of Prince Andrew and congressional demands for CIA transparency. Bryan then covers the rapid collapse of so-called transgender medicine programs across major U.S. hospitals and closes with new Harvard research showing that spiritual practice significantly reduces substance abuse risk.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 20 2026 Wright Report, Trump aliens classified comment Obama, China academic research Pentagon funding, China secret nuclear test decoupling Kazakhstan, Greenland missile defense China ICBM North Pole, Trump 10 day Iran ultimatum carrier strike group, Diego Garcia Chagos Islands Mauritius dispute, Veronica III oil tanker seizure Venezuela, Prince Andrew arrest Epstein email dump, CIA William Burns Epstein questions, NYU Langone transgender clinic closure, Munchausen by proxy discussion, Harvard spirituality addiction study     Keywords: February 17 2026 Wright Report, California oil gas crisis refinery shutdown Phillips 66 Valero, Jones Act Bahamas Panama Canal fuel route, Pacific war fuel risk Taiwan Xi Jinping, Gavin Newsom Munich Europe speech Trump, Marco Rubio Western civilization decline speech, California transgender secrecy law parental rights lawsuit, Linda McMahon education funding threat, OpenClaw AI agent attack Scott Shambaugh, Amanda Askell Anthropic philosopher Claude, AI Oracle morality debate Silicon Valley

Bank Of America, Citigroup May Launch Credit Cards With 10% Rate Two weeks after Trump shocked the world by demanding lenders cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year, Bank of America and Citigroup are exploring options to do just that in an attempt to placate the president.  Bloomberg reports that both banks are mulling offering cards with a 10% rate cap as one potential solution.  Earlier this week, Trump said he would ask Congress to implement the proposal, giving the financial firms more clarity about what exact path he's pursuing. Bank executives have repeatedly decried the uniform cap, saying it'll cause lenders to have to pull credit lines for consumers.  Source: zerohedge.com Trump sues JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon for $5B over alleged ‘political’ debanking The lawsuit claims JPMorgan’s decision ‘came about as a result of political and social motivations’ to ‘distance itself’ Trump and his ‘conservative political views’  President Donald Trump is suing JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon in a $5 billion lawsuit filed Thursday, accusing the financial institution of debanking him for political reasons.

If those dependencies are severed, if each country has the ability to feed, produce and innovate independently, then the entire dependency model around globalism collapses. Within the globalism model that was historically created there was a group of people, western nations, banks, finance and various government leaders, who controlled the organization and rules of the trade dependencies.  The action being taken for self-sufficiency, in combination with the approach promoted by President Trump that each nation state should generate their own needs, then the rules-based order that has existed for global trade will collapse. If nations are no longer dependent, they become sovereign – able to exist without the need for support from other nations and systems. If nations are indeed sovereign, then globalism is no longer needed and a threat of the unknown rises. How will nations engage with each other if there is no governing body of western elites to make the rules for engagement?  The need for control is a reaction to fear, and it is the fear of self-reliance that permeates the elitist class within the control structures.   If each nation of the world is operating according to its individual best interests, the position of Donald Trump, then what happens to the governing elite who set up the system of interdependencies. This is the core of their fear. If each nation can suddenly grow tea, what happens to the East India Tea Company.  Who then sets the price for the tea, and worse still an entire distribution system (ships, ports, exchanges, banks, etc.) becomes functionally obsolescent.

Conservative journalist Kaitlin Bennett revealed this week that she was charged with a federal crime and fined by the National Park Service in St. Augustine for the so-called offense of asking Democrats questions on public property. According to Bennett, federal agents targeted her while she was conducting on-the-street interviews, a form of journalism protected by the First Amendment. Despite being on public land, Bennett says she was cited and punished simply for engaging in political speech that the Left finds inconvenient. Bennett addressed the incident directly in a post on X, writing: https://twitter.com/KaitMarieox/status/2014174254799958148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2014174254799958148%7Ctwgr%5Ef4a6650cd0c60d38edfea018c5665c2cc2fe5199%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Ftwo-tier-justice-conservative-journalist-kaitlin-bennett-charged%2F When asked by another local journalist exactly what “lawful order” Bennett had disobeyed, the ranger reportedly could not provide a straight answer.

A moment between the two went viral when Kasky casually declared that President Donald Trump had been involved in an international sex trafficking ring. Jennings wasn't going to let that remark go unchallenged by host John Berman. The topic of conversation had been Trump's interest in Greenland and the Nobel Peace Prize, but Kasky threw in a jab at Trump with an allusion to the president's relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — an allusion Kasky's now trying to walk back. “I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win 'em all,” he blurted out. https://twitter.com/overton_news/status/2013455047288377517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013455047288377517%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F   Berman asked Jennings a follow-up question about Greenland, but instead of addressing that, Jennings circled back to Kasky's remark. “You're gonna let that sit?” Jennings asked Berman. “Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring or …?” After assuring Jennings that he would do the fact-checking, Berman asked Kasky to repeat what he'd said about the global sex-trafficking ring. “That Donald Trump was … probably … very involved with it,” the arrogant young man replied, with perhaps a touch less confidence. To Berman's credit, and the CNN legal team's, he immediately said, “Donald Trump has never been charged with any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.” https://twitter.com/camkasky/status/2013760245298864477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013760245298864477%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2014189561002291385?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical https://twitter.com/brentdsadler/status/2014311942119137584?s=20  important as these agreements cover the entirety of the Chagos group of islands/features.

Negotiated for over 25 years, it aims to create one of the world’s largest free trade zones, covering more than 700 million people and reducing tariffs on goods like cars, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products.  It includes commitments on sustainability, labor rights, and environmental protections, but critics argue these are insufficient to address issues like Amazon deforestation and unfair competition for European farmers. The agreement was politically finalized in 2019 but faced delays due to environmental concerns and opposition from countries like France and Austria. It was formally signed on January 17, 2026, after EU member states (with a qualified majority, despite opposition from five countries including France) greenlit it on January 9.  The Stupidity of Davos Explained Using an Example of Their Own Creation China is manufacturing a product to create a carbon credit certificate in response to the demand for carbon credits from all the world auto-makers.  Any nation that has a penalty or fine attached to their climate goals is a customer. Those are nations with fines or quotas associated with the production of gasoline powered engines if the auto company doesn't hit the legislated target for sales of electric vehicles. In essence, EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies buy Chinese car company carbon credits, to avoid the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN fines.  The Chinese then use the carbon credit revenue to subsidize even lower priced Chinese EVs to the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car markets, thereby undercutting the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies that also produce EVs. China brilliantly exploits the ridiculous pontificating climate scam and has an interest in perpetuating -even emphasizing- the need for the EU/AU/RU/ASEAN countries to keep pushing their climate agenda.  China even goes so far as to fund alarmism research about climate change because they are making money selling carbon credit certificates on the back end of the scam to the western fear mongers.  This is friggin' brilliant.   The climate change alarmists are helping China's economy by pushing ever escalating fear of climate change.  You just cannot make this stuff up. What does the outcome look like? Well, in this example we see hundreds of thousands of unsold BYDs piling up in countries that emphasize climate regulations with no restrictions on the import of EVs (which most don't even manufacture), which is almost every country.  Big Panda doesn't care about the car itself; they care about generating the carbon credit certificate to sell in the various carbon exchanges. Put this context to the recent announcement by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about his new trade deal with China to accept 49,000 EVs this year. Prime Minister Carney bragged about getting the Chinese to agree to only super low prices for the Canadian market.  Mark Carney was very proud of his accomplishment to get much lower priced vehicles for Canadian EV purchasers.   No doubt Big Panda left the room laughing as soon as Carney made his grand announcement. 1. China sells EV's in Canada, creating credits available on the carbon exchange scheme. Europe et al will purchase the carbon credits because Bussels has fines against EU car companies. 2. With a foothold already established in Europe, China will then take the money generated by the carbon credit purchases and lower the prices of the Chinese EV cars sold in Canada. It's gets funnier. 3. Carney bragged about forcing China to only sell low price EV's as part of the trade agreement. The low price of the EV's in Canada will be subsidized by Europe. China doesn't pay or lose a dime. But wait…. 4. Carney can't do anything about the scheme he has just enmeshed Canada into, because Canada has a Carbon Credit exchange in law.
