This is now the 38th time President Trump has proclaimed a “great deal” with Iran. Is this one finally real? And if so, does it vindicate his strategy of escalating tensions to force Tehran back to the negotiating table?Based on the details leaked so far, the proposed agreement amounts to a 60-day ceasefire designed to create space for further negotiations. Yet the benefits for Iran appear to come first: sanctions relief and access to frozen assets before any final agreement on uranium enrichment or the nuclear program is reached. If that proves accurate, it is difficult to see where the Trump administration can claim victory. The deal risks looking less like a breakthrough and more like an agreement to reward Iran in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.Has Trump abandoned his own red lines? And if the end result resembles the framework negotiated under Obama, what exactly has changed? Finally, where does Israel fit into this agreement—and what could derail it before the ink is even dry?Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

The US-Iran-Israel war is reshaping the Middle East in real time — and most people have no idea what's actually happening. Jillian Michaels sits down with military historian and geopolitical strategist Victor Davis Hanson for an unfiltered breakdown of the crisis. Iran is threatening the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices are spiking. Hezbollah is escalating. And Donald Trump is under fire from Congress, the media, and fractures inside his own coalition. The window to prevent a wider regional war is closing fast. Is Iran capable of backing down — or is regime collapse inevitable? Has Trump strengthened or undermined American deterrence? And are we watching the beginning of World War 3 — or the final chapter of the Iranian regime? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down: Trump's Iran strategy — is it working? Iran's nuclear program and the enrichment red line Why Gulf States are quietly aligning with Israel The Israel-Hezbollah escalation timeline The conservative foreign policy civil war — Tucker vs. the hawks China and Russia's role in the crisis Campus radicalization and the mainstreaming of anti-Semitism Whether America can avoid another endless war This isn't punditry. This is the history, the military calculus, and the geopolitical architecture that will define the next decade. #VictorDavisHanson #IranWar #Trump #IsraelIran #MiddleEast #WorldWar3 #IranNuclear #Hezbollah #Netanyahu #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #Trump2026 #OilPrices #China #Russia #TuckerCarlson #MegynKelly #AntiSemitism #Israel #MilitaryHistory CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 02:45 War Powers Act Showdown 04:50 Iran's Economy in Freefall 07:45 How Modern Warfare Actually Works 11:11 Will the Iranian Regime Survive? 15:55 The Trump-Netanyahu Leaked Call 19:45 Drone Warfare Is Rewriting the Rules 22:20 Gulf States Quietly Pick a Side 26:00 Europe's Deterrence Is Already Dead 29:00 Anti-Semitism's New Home 33:15 China and Russia: Opportunity or Alliance? 42:50 The Right Is Fracturing on Foreign Policy 50:15 How the Middle East Captured American Academia 54:40 The Progressive Media Bubble 59:21 What "Neocon" Actually Means 01:03:40 The Human Rights Hypocrisy Nobody Talks About 01:07:35 Why Trump's Political Comeback Is Bulletproof Learn more about your ad choices.

Donald Trump promised lower prices and a stronger economy. Instead, Americans facing a devastating economic shock in the coming months. Matt Robison speaks with Anne Kim and Ira Shapiro, co-editors of Betrayed: America Didn't Vote for This, about the long-term consequences of Trump's second term, the damage to institutions, the rule of law, government competence, medical research, and democracy itself.Then Matt is joined by Lawrence Winnerman to discuss his blockbuster analysis of why rising energy costs, supply-chain disruptions, inflation pressures, and the AI economy may be setting the stage for a major economic downturn. They explore the hidden costs of the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, the growing gap between Wall Street and the real economy, and whether artificial intelligence could eliminate millions of white-collar jobs.Subscribe to Worth Knowing for independent analysis you won't find anywhere else: https://worthknowing.substack.com#Trump #Economy #Recession #Inflation #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Politics #Project2025 #Substack #WorthKnowing #LawrenceWinterman #AnneKim #IraShapiro #DonaldTrump #EconomicCrisis #WhiteCollarJobs #MiddleClass #Tariffs #Iran #StockMarket00:00 Introduction: Actions, consequences, and America's coming economic shock01:17 Why Trump won in 2024—and why many voters feel betrayed03:35 Introducing Anne Kim and Ira Shapiro04:29 The most destructive thing Trump has done06:26 DOGE, federal workforce cuts, and institutional damage08:17 Elections, democracy, and public trust10:24 What insiders say privately about Trump13:12 The assault on the rule of law15:02 Damage that may never be reversed16:10 Can America's political culture recover?18:07 Why former Trump voters are turning against him19:11 The meaning of "Betrayed"21:18 Trump's legislative legacy and the SALT deduction debate22:05 What the authors hope this book will accomplish23:17 Citizen action and political accountability24:07 Can institutional damage be repaired?25:08 Has Trump created a playbook for future presidents?26:31 The critical choice facing America in 202828:38 Transition to Lawrence Winterman29:42 The economic consequences are coming30:20 Oil tankers, inventory cushions, and delayed inflation33:19 When consumers will begin to feel the impact34:13 Why even reopening the Strait of Hormuz may not help35:18 The long-term "stupidity tax"36:32 Known consequences vs. unknown consequences37:13 AI spending, recession risks, and economic distortion39:34 AI, white-collar jobs, and the coming disruption40:16 Why the stock market is disconnected from the real economy41:11 Are tech CEOs quietly preparing for a major shift?43:04 AI layoffs and corporate adoption44:08 Could AI replace millions of white-collar jobs?45:12 Is the AI boom becoming a bubble?46:06 What AI means for writers, creators, and Substack47:18 How AI is changing work inside major corporations49:39 Could AI create more jobs than it destroys?50:25 The productivity gap explained52:33 What happens during economic transitions?53:37 Ross Perot's "giant sucking sound" revisited54:34 Trump's failure to prepare America for AI55:14 Policy ideas to soften the transition56:20 Universal basic income and other proposals57:24 Why the real problem is that we're not having the conversation58:03 The benefits—and risks—of technological progress59:14 Should AI be taxed?1:00:04 Why America may already be running out of time1:01:00 Final thoughts and next week's episode

Bruce's piece is essentially an argument that America has become dangerously desensitised to the behaviour of President Donald Trump.  He argues that Trump's public conduct, language and social media behaviour now reveal a president in what he calls a “troubled state”, but that Republicans, the White House and much of the media have normalised it rather than confronting it. Bruce's latest article essentially argues that America has become dangerously desensitised to the behaviour of President Donald Trump. He argues that Trump's public conduct, language and social media behaviour now reveal a president in what he calls a “troubled state”, but that Republicans, the White House and much of the media have normalised it rather than confronting it. Wolpe says Trump oscillates between moments of apparent discipline — like his recent summit with Xi Jinping — and then immediately reverts to erratic, grievance-filled behaviour once out of the diplomatic spotlight. Bruce Wolpe is a Senior Fellow (non-resident) at the United States Studies Centre. Bruce is a regular contributor on US politics across media platforms in Australia. In recent years, Bruce has worked with the Democrats in Congress during President Barack Obama's first term, and on the staff of Prime Minister Julia Gillard. He has also served as the former PM's chief of staff. Bruce is author of Trump's Australia, an examination of Donald Trump's possible return to the presidency and the issues presented to Australia (Allen & Unwin, 2023), The Committee, a study of President Obama's legislative agenda in Congress (University of Michigan Press, 2018, 2d Edition September 2021) and Lobbying Congress: How The System Works (Congressional Quarterly Books, 1990, 1996). https://www.theage.com.au/national/an-oyster-farmer-a-firefighter-a-kennedy-the-democrats-taking-the-fight-to-the-republicans-20260521-p5zzm3.html https://www.axios.com/2026/05/22/trump-iran-meeting-resume-war-deal The post Sat, 23rd May, 2026: Bruce Wolpe, Senior Fellow, US Study Centre, Has Trump finally lost it and why is nobody calling him out ? appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

Thomas Massie's bruising defeat last night was widely framed as proof that President Trump still has total control of the Republican Party. But critics argue the bigger question is who really has influence over Trump. Pro-Israel donors and lobbying groups reportedly spent more than $15 million to defeat Massie, with millions linked to AIPAC. Massie was never known as a leading critic of Israel. Allies say his real offence was challenging the influence of lobbyists and billionaire donors over Republican leadership and US foreign policy. Now, with Massie sidelined, divisions inside MAGA are deepening. Has Trump tightened his grip on the movement — or has the donor class tightened its grip on Trump? Meanwhile, outrage is growing after three people were killed in a suspected terror attack at San Diego's largest mosque. The attack has intensified scrutiny of anti-Muslim rhetoric in politics following recent comments from Republican figures and a controversial post from Trump ally Laura Loomer targeting mosque attendees. Critics say the question now is whether inflammatory political rhetoric is beginning to have deadly consequences... Piers Morgan is joined by senior counsel of the Article 3 Project, Will Chamberlain, Host of System Update, Glenn Greenwald, founder of Outkick!, Clay Travis and former Republican strategist and speechwriter, Buckley Carlson to discuss. Piers then speaks to founder of Zeteo, Mehdi Hasan about the mosque attack in San Diego. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Has Trump corrupted our justice system beyond repair? The latest indictment of former FBI Director James Comey is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of damage that this administration has done. This week, Alex speaks to former US Attorney Mike Gordon about the purging of staff who investigated Trump or January 6th and the appointment of unqualified attorneys at every level. Then she speaks to Strict Scrutiny host Kate Shaw about the seashell indictment, the huge number of pardons already issued by Trump, and what steps will have to be taken to revive American justice.

Donald Trump launched "Project Freedom" over the bank holiday weekend - a "humanitarian gesture", aimed at guaranteeing the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz still stubbornly being controlled by Iran.The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, announced today a "red white and blue dome" over the area as he insisted that the US holds all the cards in the conflict. There's just one problem: nobody seems to be buying it. Ships aren't moving through the Strait in any real volume, and there were fresh attacks from both sides over the weekend despite a ceasefire.

President Donald Trump experienced a third assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the D.C. Hilton Hotel, the same spot where John Hinckley shot President Reagan in 1981.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 80: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Nobody is at the wheel of Trump's war in Iran. Is the Strait of Hormuz open or is it closed? Are there peace talks with Iran in Pakistan TOMORROW… or nah? Is Jayvee Vance going? Is Iran going? Has Trump scheduled peace talks where we’re the only ones there? Will it make any difference if we’re the only ones there? Doesn’t “blowing a hole in the engine room” of an Iranian cargo ship yesterday mean we aren’t honoring Trump’s own ceasefire he boasted about? Are we paying 20 billion dollars for the Iranian uranium and hostages? The same uranium and hostages Obama bought for 400 million and Trump called him a traitor? Or is that a no? Don’t ask Trump – he doesn’t know. But that won’t stop him from answering anyway. Yes. Then Nope. Then Yes again. Then: All of the Above. in 48 hours he went from 13 posts congratulating himself on winning, to insisting he would stop being “Mr. Nice Guy” and blow up all of Iran. By the way, eactly when was he “Mr. Nice Guy”? We are LOSING the war in Iran and as of today a total idiot is still president and commander-in-chief. He gets questions about the pointless war he started to divert attention from Epstein and the economy he crashed, so he orders the reporters out of the Oval Office, and sits there with hapless munchkin Little Joe Rogan standing behind him, the shine off his cueball noggin blinding cameras and journalists alike. Trump has set off a chain of events over which he no longer has any control – except to withdraw and flee – and to withdraw and flee is to acknowledge he screwed up. And this man would jump off the roof of the White House before admitting he screwed up. The Trump “Administration” has so UTTERLY jumped the shark, that the truthers are coming out from inside MAGA: Alex Jones now insists Trump has done all this DELIBERATELY, because he has made a “deal with the deep state to throw the election to the Democrats." Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined the Trump Assassination Truthers and Trump himself has floated a kind of conspiracy theory ABOUT himself… he wrote ‘Praise Be To Allah’ on Easter morning to “seem as unstable and insulting as possible.” He wanted to seem as unstable as possible? MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, Trump! You’ve finally done something you promised! B-Block (28:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Before the year is out, Major League Baseball will threaten to lock the players out and cancel the season in 2027 because the smaller market teams can't make enough money to compete. One of those teams just sold for $3.1 billion more than it did in 2012. New York's hockey teams support a) Trump putting his name on public buildings or b) legal funds for cops convicted of killing unarmed civilians. Vivek Ramaswamy dismisses his opponent talking about being raped as a child as her "complaining." And Lauren Boebert thinks Congress is too horny and she won't remain, uh, hands off. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Netflix stock took a huge hit, supposedly after the co-founder Reed Hastings announced he was bowing out. But I think it might've been another announcement that did it. They are going into news podcasts with - Brian Williams? The story of how he imploded at NBC, while I was literally an eyewitness to his public self-destruction, and the advice I gave his bosses that could have saved him (and them) if they hadn't ignored it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Has Trump's erratic behaviour and threatening rhetoric over the last few weeks rendered him unfit for office? The question seems an obvious one to House Democrats - who are petitioning to remove him under 25th amendment. They won't succeed. No one ever has. But it raises a bigger question of how many and for how long those around Trump are prepared to stand by and do nothing.Miles Taylor was in the DHS in Trump's first term.

In week 4 of the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression on Iran, the global economy has been pushed to the brink. Iran's disruption of the Strait of Hormuz shows just how key it is to global energy markets, supply chains, and food systems, putting millions at risk.So what happens when the U.S. no longer has a monopoly on economic coercion?Has Trump overplayed his hand?Are we witnessing the limits of American power and the beginning of a more chaotic global order?To break it all down, Rania Khalek is joined by Marxist economist Prabhat Patnaik, professor emeritus at Jawaharlal Nehru University and co-author of Capital and Imperialism: Theory, History, and the Present.

It's a funny old world when you have to check with Iran's state TV before you know if the US president is telling the truth. In a post early this morning - just as the markets opened - Trump declared he'd had productive discussions to end with war with Iran. An hour later Tehran flatly contradicted him. But by then there had already been a market rally putting two trillion dollars back into the system. So what's going on: Has Trump had enough of war? Has he had stern words from his Gulf allies? Or is he just trying to manipulate the price of oil?Later, Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle on how to do business with America in the age of Trump and whether he'd call his actions "erratic".The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Synopsis: Every third Friday of the month, The Straits Times gets its US Bureau Chief to analyse the hottest political and trending talking points. In this episode, US Bureau Chief Bhagyashree Garekar chats with Prof Benjamin Radd, an authority on the politics of the Middle East, especially Iran.

Donald Trump's Oval Office ramblings are nothing new. But last night was off the scale. He thrashed out at allies. Castigated his friends. Contradicted himself. Lied about former presidents in a way that was painfully easy to disprove and sounded like a man who'd missed his meds.More significant than any of this is how the rest of the world received it: with a shrug - and very little anxiety or action. Has Trump lost the room? And the war?And, as the first resignation comes in from his director of counter terrorism centre, could we be reaching a turning point where Trump is no longer scaring people in the way he once did?Update: The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has clarified that Ed Miliband has not suggested that pubs should serve warm beer. The 'carbon reduction tool' for pubs and restaurants identifies where hospitality vendors can save energy with suggestions such as turning extractor fans off overnight.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDepending on whether you believe Donald Trump, or Donald Trump, or Donald Trump, his war in Iran is “very complete” or “just beginning” or “both.”In this Matt and Brian discuss:* Has Trump finally set in motion a disaster he can't contain?* What does TACO mean when others have a say over the disposition of events?* Are we doomed to reprisal attacks and a long-lasting energy crisis?Then, what the hell is Jared Polis thinking?! The governor of Colorado is apparently planning to commute the sentence of Tina Peters, a former election official who tried to help Donald Trump overturn the 2020 election. Should Polis's partisan and ideological allies try to stop him? How? Is he acting purely in response to Trump's threat of reprisals? And to the extent he really thinks it's a good idea, what are his obligations as a retiring elected official serving at a time when liberal democracy is under severe threat?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian asks why elites seem just as easily duped as MAGA nobodies. * Matt's prescient piece on the moral failure of liberal leaders to not act selfishly.* Should Colorado Democrats impeach Jared Polis?

In a zig-zagging, confused and at times weirdly low energy press conference from President Donald Trump last night, a remarkably new tone was struck on the conflict in Iran. Just hours earlier, his defence secretary Pete Hegseth had announced that this stage of the war was "just the beginning". But yesterday evening. Trump declared that the conflict was, in fact, "very complete"; at one point even downplaying the US attacks as "an excursion" rather than a war.It doesn't take a genius to work out what's behind the volte-face - following his intervention, the price of oil plummeted. Welcome respite for the markets, but where does it leave Trump's war objectives? What does it mean for the Iranian people, who'd been promised regime change? Has Trump bottled it? And does that risk emboldening the regime in Tehran?Later - why is white genocide being casually discussed on GB News? And why have Kwasi Kwarteng and Nigel Farage teamed up in a crypto venture?The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Trump's Racist AI Post Backfires — Bad Bunny's Global Takeover & Today's News Donald Trump crossed yet another line after sharing an AI-generated image that dehumanized the Obamas — then doubled down, insisting he “did nothing wrong.” The backlash? Predictable from MAGA, but far more dangerous for Trump among independents, moderates, and key voting blocs who once supported him. Has Trump finally gone too far for swing voters and Hispanic communities? The evidence suggests yes. As his coalition shrinks, Trump appears to be campaigning solely to the ugliest fringe of his base — while Republican leaders once again remain silent. That silence could cost them everything, because both the House and Senate are very much in play in the upcoming midterms. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny proved culture doesn't ask permission. His Super Bowl moment captivated a global audience — and despite claims from conservative media, the world didn't collapse. We break down what the numbers actually show versus what certain outlets want to be true. Plus: a sharp look at the day's top headlines, media spin, and what actually matters. ☕ The Karel Cast is powered by your support ➡️ patreon.com/reallykarel

You don't want to eff with America. Listen to Trump, Hegseth and Rubio explain how Nicolas Maduro was swiftly captured with no American casualties and brought to America as a fugitive of justice. Democrats worry Maduro will sing about illegal drug/human trafficking and election rigging. Black Americans hit record to call Trump the GOAT. Has Trump finally brought the voters together?

The Trump administration oversaw a nighttime raid on the country of Venezuela, capturing Nicolás Maduro, the country's head of state, and his wife. The strike was an impressive display of American military might, but Trump's comments about running the country after the strike sound dangerously like a plan to engage in nation-building. Has Trump betrayed his foreign policy promises?

Now that all of Israel’s living hostages are home and the vast majority of the bodies of deceased hostages have been returned, the “line of thinking” among many Israeli military and political leaders is “we have nothing to lose” and “we can continue our fight against Hamas,” says Haaretz senior security analyst Amos Harel. Members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, he believes, are clearly “looking for an excuse” to return to full-fledged war. Speaking on the Haaretz Podcast, Harel discussed the challenges of ensuring security on Israel’s southern and northern borders and rebuilding and rehabilitating Gaza, given the “vague” nature of U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for an international stabilization force and a ruling Board of Peace. In the meantime, Hamas remains fully armed and in control of nearly half of Gaza. The Americans “have some vague ideas about how to solve things, but nothing ever moves ahead,” Harel observed. “Will there be an international force? Will any country in the world risk the lives of its soldiers and put them in harm's way trying to restrain Hamas? These are big challenges for the Americans.” On the podcast, Harel also discussed the fragile cease-fire with Hezbollah on its northern border and the firestorm in Israel's military and political arenas over accountability for the October 7 attacks.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmThe government shutdown just crossed the two-week mark. If you take Donald Trump and his people at their word, it doesn't seem like it's about to reopen. But they are also huge bluffers. In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss: * Has Trump hit upon a (legally dubious) way to keep the government “shut down” indefinitely?* Which signs suggest he's digging in and which suggest he's bluffing?* Are we about to test, once and for all, whether anti-authoritarian politics are more compelling and more galvanizing than cost-of-living politics?Then, Republicans are desperate to shrink down and smear No Kings protesters en masse. Can this be interpreted as a sign of weakness? Is it a cunning, if ill-intended attempt to tip the country into civil unrest? How close to 1.000 does a non-violent resistance movement have to bat to keep the majority of the public on its side?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian on the median experience of tyranny.* Matt argues the authoritarian menace has arrived.* Brian makes the case that if the current equilibrium devolves into violence, we've seen enough to blame Trump.* Erica Chenoweth on civil resistance.

Former Obama adviser Van Jones claimed on CNN that DEI policies throughout the country got “ridiculous” and admitted he's happy DEI is dying. Filling in for Glenn, Stu looks back at the craziness of 2020 and how far we've come as a nation since then. Is President Trump the main reason some sanity has come back to America? Pepsi announced it is ending its DEI policies after being confronted by reporter Robby Starbuck. Stu warns that even though companies are walking back DEI policies, they could come right back under a Democrat president. Stu and Jeffy go through a list of beliefs of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, which makes people in Hollywood uncomfortable. A recent CNN headline claimed we may never know the motive behind the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting. Has Trump derangement syndrome become an actual mental diagnosis? Ireland citizen Rosie O'Donnell issued an apology for claiming the Minneapolis school shooter was a “Republican MAGA person.” Why did she feel the need to comment on the atrocity at all? Stu and Jeffy look at Australia's failed gun control laws as the Left continues to call for a gun ban. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
