On July 29, Gallup published a new poll showing American support for Israel's military action in Gaza at a historic low. But a strong majority (71 percent) of Republicans say they approve of Israel's conduct in Gaza, and that is up from 66 percent in September. Of Israel's military action in Iran, 78 percent of Republicans approve. And 67 percent of Republicans have a favorable opinion of Israel's prime minister. Even as the broader American public continues to cool on Israel, Republican support for Israel's conduct of the war isn't just holding steady—it's actually strengthening. Earlier this week, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, visited Judea and Samaria, and had dinner with the prime minster in the biblical city of Shiloh. Here's what makes Gallup's findings so remarkable: if you spent any time on right-wing social media over the past months, you'd expect to see Republican support for Israel cratering. But peer beneath the surface of the online discourse, and a more complicated picture emerges. Republican voters not only remain steadfast but are actually becoming more supportive, even as influential voices—influential especially with the young—are striking out in a very different direction. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a reliable Trump ally, now calls the Gaza war a genocide. Tucker Carlson's social-media engagement spikes whenever he advances an anti-Israel narrative, hosts an anti-Israel guest, or moots anti-Israel conspiracy theories.  Even some longtime pro-Israel voices from the right have made themselves unwitting tools of Hamas and Iranian propaganda. Our guest this week is the Hudson Institute senior fellow Michael Doran, and our subject is Israel and the American right. Of course, the disjuncture between Republican voters and the most prominent and loudest voices in Republican media is not a new story. When you train your eyes on that fact, the entire Trump era, from his 2016 campaign forward, has seen the emergence of a new media elite whose views simply do not convey the attitudes of their base as well as the president himself does. But of course the Trump era will end in a few years, and the contours and debate within the post-Trump right over attitudes toward Israel is being shaped right now.

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Washington Roundtable, Dr. Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute think tank, former Pentagon Europe chief Jim Townsend of the Center for a New American Security, and former Pentagon comptroller Dr. Dov Zakheim of the Center for Strategic and International Studies join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the geopolitical implications of President Trump's tariff war escalation on trading partners; use of US economic might to force Russia to make a peace deal ending the Ukraine war; prospect of talks between Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin and what to expect if the two leaders meet; Washington's heavy sanctions on New Delhi with a heavy sanctions for violating US and EU sanctions on Russian oil as furious Indian leaders consider ending US weapons purchases; Ukraine's long-range attacks on Russia's refineries as existing sanctions continue to weaken the Russian economy; Australia's decision to pick Japan's Mogami-class frigate as its next major surface warship in a $6.5 billion deal that would be the biggest Japanese export contract since World War II; Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders agree to a US-brokered deal that gives Baku the transit corridor through southern tip of Armenia it has long sought but with 99-year US economic development zone in Armenia's Zangezur region; developments in Lebanon and Iran; and analysis of Israel's plan to occupy all of Gaza starting with Gaza City to defeat Hamas before handing it to Arab forces and Germany's decision to block export of German arms to Israel that could be used in Gaza.

On this episode, Josh takes aim at the brewing foreign policy fight on the Right. He's joined by Rebeccah Heinrichs of the Hudson Institute to unpack her powerful new essay that calls out a dangerous trend: some so-called "conservatives," including notable figures like Tucker Carlson, rewriting American history and giving a platform to grotesque anti-American and anti-Semitic rhetoric. Josh and Rebeccah break down what's really driving this revisionist wave, the troubling endgame behind it, and how it stands in stark contrast to President Trump's authentic and unapologetic America First doctrine.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Washington Roundtable, Dr. Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute think tank, Michael Herson of American Defense International, former Pentagon Europe chief Jim Townsend of the Center for a New American Security, former Pentagon comptroller Dr. Dov Zakheim of the Center for Strategic and International Studies join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the defense implications of Republican passage of President Trump's signature legislative agenda that cuts taxes and benefits but also increases the debt as lawmakers seek two more reconciliation packages over the coming years; the Supreme Court's decision to allow Trump to unilaterally shrink the government workforce; the president ratchets up his tariff war threatening nations with punishment unless they agree to his terms, straining US relationships worldwide; frustrated with Vladimir Putin, Trump pledges more weapons to Kyiv as Moscow steps up attacks on Ukraine; British Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron agree to an unprecedented nuclear pact to respond to “extreme threats” to Europe without US help, a combined joint force, weapons collaboration and immigration; Secretary of State Marco Rubio vows to trim his “bloated” department by 15 percent as he makes his first trip to Asia to attenuate the backlash from his boss' tariffs, including assuaging Australian concerns over the Pentagon's AUKUS review; despite punishing air strikes, the Houthis sink two cargo ships; Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is seen in public as evidence mounts that Iran has retained its nuclear stocks; and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu makes his third visit to Washington.

To understand Middle East dynamics, I always count on Michael Doran, Director of the Middle East Center at the Hudson Institute.“For the first time, Jan, in history, Israel and the United States have taken military action together. This is totally new,” he tells me.We sat down to discuss what has now been dubbed ‘The 12-Day War' and how Middle East political realities have been transformed.“One of the most amazing things about the Israeli attack against the Iranians is that they totally took the Iranians by surprise. Scientists were in their beds. Commanders all got together, thinking they were safe. That is just remarkable,” says Doran.How did the strikes on Iran change the geopolitical landscape? Was World War III ever a real possibility? And has the threat of a nuclear Iran been neutralized … for good?There's still a little lingering doubt that maybe some of the enriched uranium was squirreled away by the Iranians in some other secret site,” says Doran. “Right now, Iran is a nuclear power of indeterminate status. So, we have to wait and determine.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

John Anderson and Dr. Rebeccah Heinrichs examine the geopolitical consequences of the conflict between Israel and Iran, highlighting the United States' role in shaping global security and the future of the Middle East. They discuss how President Trump's decisive military strike on Iran's nuclear infrastructure has undermined Tehran's influence and reasserted US supremacy in the region.The conversation reflects on the rise of anti-Semitism, the misguided pursuit of a two-state solution, and the importance of standing with strong allies like Israel. It underscores how pivotal a strong US response in the Middle East is to a strategy of deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, particularly with regard to Taiwan. Dr. Heinrichs criticises Australia's reluctance to strengthen its own defence capabilities in this context, expressing the hope that Australia will choose to collaborate more closely with the United States in an era of mounting global uncertainty.Dr. Rebeccah L. Heinrichs is a senior fellow at Hudson Institute and the director of its Keystone Defense Initiative. Dr. Heinrichs specialises in US national defense policy with a focus on strategic deterrence. Dr. Heinrichs is an adjunct professor at the Institute of World Politics, where she teaches nuclear deterrence theory, and is also a contributing editor of Providence: A Journal of Christianity and American Foreign Policy.

Take a look at Conducttr's services and its crisis exercise software at: https://www.conducttr.comThis is a conversation with Zineb Riboua, a Middle East expert and a research fellow at the Hudson Institute's Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East - about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. We talk about what are really the Israeli goals with this operation, whether they can succeed in completely destroying Iranian nuclear weapons ambitions or how much damage they already did. About what has been the role of the Trump administration and whether Trump was in on this from the start or if he's now just trying to take credit - whether Israel is really pursuing a regime change and how likely that is or how vulnerable is Iran to a domestic coup, revolution and what the most likely scenarios are. And about much, much more.

As we taped this episode of Honestly, it was 3 a.m. in Israel. Sirens wailed across the country as Iranian missiles rained down on Israeli towns. At the same time, Israel was striking military and nuclear sites inside Iran, and oil fields were aflame. Meanwhile in Washington, reports were emerging of a heated debate inside the White House over whether the U.S. should get involved in the war. It's hard to overstate the magnitude of this story—or how uncertain the outcome is for Israel. There's no one better to help us make sense of this war than Michael Doran—senior fellow and director of the Hudson Institute's Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East. This has been his story not just for the past few days—for the last decade, no one has written more, and more brilliantly, about Iran's nuclear aspirations and Washington's posture toward Iran than Mike.  And he just wrote for The Free Press “The Ultimate Deception: How Trump and Bibi Outfoxed Iran.” We recorded this interview Saturday evening at 6 p.m. as a Free Press subscriber livestream.

This segment of Sunrise Carolina with Joey Hudson examines the disturbing rise in antisemitic violence, including a recent attack in Boulder labeled by some as a terror attack on Jews. Joey highlights the political response, including visa cancellations and criticism of pro-Hamas sentiment on college campuses. Guest Rebecca Heinrichs from the Hudson Institute joins to condemn what she calls “genocidal incitement” and push for campus accountability. Joey also critiques the Biden administration's immigration policy, arguing that open border strategies have led to national security failures. The episode explores media misinformation around Gaza, the rewriting of Democratic border history, and CNN's Jake Tapper's controversial role in reframing Biden's presidency ahead of 2028.

In this fiery edition of Sunrise Carolina with Joey Hudson, Joey tackles the harrowing attack in Boulder, calling it a “public burning of Jews and their supporters” and tying it directly to U.S. immigration policy failures under the Biden administration. With commentary from Rebecca Heinrichs of the Hudson Institute, the show explores the rise of antisemitism on college campuses, the dangerous normalization of pro-terror rhetoric, and the broader consequences of weak border enforcement. Joey also takes aim at mainstream media—particularly CNN's Jake Tapper—for what he describes as coordinated efforts to rewrite Democratic history and downplay Biden's responsibility. From illegal immigration to Hamas propaganda and media manipulation, this episode delivers a sobering look at what Joey calls the “deliberate destruction” of American security and values.
