CNN Newsnight host Abby Phillip tells viewers the ISIS-loving teens who threw IEDs at a protest outside Mayor Mamdani's residence were throwing them at the Muslim mayor, and NOT at right-wingers protesting the Islamification of NYC. Listen to her apologize for being a leftist. A bass fisherman rigs a tournament and gets caught in a foolish caper that reminds us of the 2020 election. Eric Swalwell's California neighbors say they've never once seen him.
During dueling protests outside Gracie Mansion — the official residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — two Pennsylvania men allegedly threw improvised explosive devices toward an anti-Islam rally led by far-right activist Jake Lang. The devices, homemade bombs containing TATP explosives and shrapnel such as nuts, bolts, and screws, were ignited but failed to fully detonate, causing no injuries despite their lethal potential. The incident escalated from a small far-right demonstration against an alleged "Islamic takeover" into clashes with counterprotesters, leading to multiple arrests, including the two suspects. Federal authorities charged the men with terrorism-related offenses, including providing material support to ISIS, after they reportedly cited inspiration from the Islamic State group, and one expressed intent to surpass the impact of the Boston Marathon bombing.

//The Wire//2300Z March 9, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TERROR ATTACK STRIKES NEW YORK AS PROTESTERS TARGETED WITH IEDS. AMERICAN BOMBING OF IRAN CONTINUES AS IRANIAN DRONE STRIKES REGULARLY TARGET OIL INFRASTRUCTURE IN MIDDLE EAST.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Middle East: The war continues, with both American strikes on Tehran, and Iranian strikes on Tel Aviv continuing over the weekend. The American 'Shock and Awe' campaign continues day and night, with increasingly more substantial bombings taking place over the weekend. Iranian drone attacks continue as before, with several strikes of note being carried out over the weekend. As of this morning, the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone in the UAE is still on fire from last night's attacks. The BAPCO refinery in Bahrain was also struck again several times over the past few days, along with the desalination plant in Ma'ameer. The fuel point at Kuwait International Airport was also struck over the weekend, as civilian flights throughout Kuwait remain grounded until further notice due to Iranian targeting efforts.Strait of Hormuz: The impacts to shipping remain constant, with one commercial vessel reporting being struck by a drone in the Saudi port of Jubail on Saturday. This morning BAPCO declared a force majeure for their contracts, indicating that they are unable to meet the obligations of their contracts, due to the war impacting operations.Turkey: This morning Turkish authorities stated that another Iranian ballistic missile had been intercepted in their airspace. The missile was reportedly shot down by a US Navy vessel stationed in the eastern Med.Norway: An explosion was reported at the US Embassy in Oslo, as an unidentified assailant placed an IED at the entrance to the facility Saturday night. Norwegian officials have stated that the incident is being investigated as a possible terror attack, and photos of the suspect have been released, as the suspect remains at large. No further details have been provided on the composition of the suspected explosive device, however the investigation is ongoing.-HomeFront-New York: On Saturday, an anti-Islam protest outside of Mayor Mamdani's residence was attacked by counter protesters, which involved terrorists attacking demonstrators with IEDs. Initially, groups of protesters were separated by the NYPD: The group protesting against Mamdani (and against Islam in general) was separated from a group of counterprotesters by pedestrian barriers as is customary for events where protesters have a high likelihood of attacking each other. In this case, two of the counterprotesters arrived with IEDs, lit their fuses, and threw them over to the main protest group, targeting the small group of about a dozen anti-Islam protesters. Both of the IEDs that were thrown failed to detonate, as the impact with the ground extinguished the lit fuses. The suspects were immediately detained at the scene, and a search of the area revealed additional IEDs located in a parked vehicle adjacent to the event. The two suspects have been identified as Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, both residents of Pennsylvania. More details are expected as the investigation continues.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: A bit of back story is needed to explain the context for how important the attack in New York City actually was. The protest that started everything was an "Americans Against Islamification" protest organized by Jake Lang, who has become infamous for going into Islamic strongholds, and holding protests that are intended to inflame tensions. This context may result in many people being tempted to roll their eyes and dismiss this attack due to the history of Lang's protests usually being rather theatrical. For instance, the day before the IED attack on his group he crashed a vigil to the Ayatollah, driving by the event in a Uhaul van with a go

In this hard-hitting episode of The Alan Sanders Show (Ep. 046), we unpack the chilling NYC ISIS-linked terror bombing attempt outside Gracie Mansion: two Pennsylvania men, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, charged with hurling improvised explosive devices (TATP-based IEDs laced with shrapnel) at protesters during an anti-Islam rally and counterprotest, explicitly inspired by ISIS, complete with pledges of allegiance and admissions of wanting carnage bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing. No injuries occurred, but the threat was real. We also cover deepening cracks in Iran's regime amid ongoing U.S./Israeli strikes, post-Khamenei fallout and suppressed protests signaling potential collapse. Finally, the "reverse Gold Rush" from California where tech billionaires, energy producers and even Yamaha are moving out of state.

Rebel Republic, the top independent political talk show around is back with fury. The Coach David Schuman, Tyler King, all he does is train, teaches class, beat that ass, then provide sophisticated political analysis after are ready for an intense discussion.Dave shares his articulated, intelligent, well thought out theory on why President Trump invaded Iran. Questioning our main allies, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, among others have distanced themselves. Tyler brilliantly added how many of the governments in those countries and others have gone through significant regime changes over the years, causing them to look away. During Tyler's research, he noticed most of Eastern Europe adjusting to new leadership. Russia and others relied on Iran for many resources, Dave said this strategic attack will cause issues. Tyler, has strongly felt the US was giving Israel special treatment, cow towing to their needs. My input…. Tyler has been RIGHT all along! Could we have possibly worked to keep Israel happy because as Frank Cristiano said, they deliver valuable intelligence about the Middle East? Located in a great area, Frank has stated they are an incredibly important ally.Tyler, a political pundit, published many times over, laughed in silence as we thought he was obsessed with Israel and Trump doing everything they asked. The former captain, leader of his Model UN team, now senior correspondent for Rebel Republic, knew months ago we would join Israeli forces to attack Iran.In 2 weeks, we took out the Ayatollah, 40 plus leaders and a monumental portion of their military. Israel went after the head of the snake, we targeted missile silos and nuclear weapons sites.We bring a dominant political team, Dave and Tyler deliver an astounding breakdown over the last two weeks. Also, we discuss President Trump meeting with administrators, former coaches, and to save college sports. Unfortunately, unhinged crazy people thought it was a good idea to go to NY City Mayor Mr. Mandani's residence with a bag of IEDs. For people to think nothing of killing this man on a Saturday afternoon is disturbing and disgusting. Our troops are fighting overseas, while there was a mass shooting in Austin, Texas last weekend and now people want to drive by, hurling IEDs at the Mayor of NY City. I'm beyond crazy, and this is insanity.
Megyn Kelly begins the show calling out CBS News for a notable edit in Major Garrett's 60 Minutes interview with Pete Hegseth, showing how the network replaced the original question about "America First" with a different framing about Israel, the truth about the network's agenda, and more. Then Stu Burguiere, host of the upcoming "Predictable with Stu" and "Stu and Dave Do America," joins to discuss the key distinction between whether a U.S. war with Iran is "justified" vs. "necessary," the uncertainty about how the conflict could unfold throughout the region and here at home, Lindsey Graham's influence in pushing his aggressive foreign policy goals, new reports about how he pushed Trump toward war, the apparent ISIS-inspired terror attack at a New York protest involving suspects throwing IEDs and shouting “Allahu Akbar,” Mayor Mamdani refusing to acknowledge the truth about the radical Islamic terror attack, Bill Maher setting a trap for Adam Schiff about Obama and Trump, Maher's consistent stance on a variety of issues, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden turning Jesse Jackson's funeral into a political moment despite the family's wishes, Kamala's non-stop word salad, and more.

Two terror suspects threw IEDs at anti-Islam protesters this past weekend in New York City, and they confessed to police that ISIS inspired them. Despite that, Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) and the mainstream media are refusing to condemn radical Islamic terrorism. Democrats used Reverend Jesse Jackson's funeral to push their political agendas, even after his son asked people not to bring politics to the service.

From contested UK cooperation in the Iran conflict to explosive domestic terrorism and unresolved Epstein case mysteries, today's episode dissects the chaos at home and abroad. President Donald Trump navigates allies' delays, military strategy, and geopolitical risk, while law enforcement and media misreport ISIS-inspired attacks in New York City. Plus, shocking DOJ revelations from the Epstein case highlight systemic failure. Episode Summary The United States' Iran operation sparks global and domestic controversies. The UK initially refused U.S. requests to use military bases for attacks on Iran, creating a diplomatic firestorm. Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced heavy criticism from Tony Blair and British media, reportedly prioritizing political survival and immigrant voting blocs over allied cooperation. The HMS Dragon deployment and RAF response highlight logistical delays caused by strict labor rules, raising questions about NATO and allied reliability. On the ground, the U.S. and Israel maintain overwhelming air superiority against Iran. President Donald Trump praises the campaign's effectiveness, with thousands of Iranian military targets already struck and ground invasions deemed unnecessary. Energy markets spike, but experts assert the oil price increase is temporary. Domestically, New York City faced terror threats when self-radicalized ISIS supporters targeted protests near Gracie Mansion, using IEDs packed with the volatile “Mother of Satan” explosive. Misreporting by mainstream media initially mischaracterized the attackers and their motives, obscuring the severity of the incident. Legal and political commentary highlights the disconnect between narrative framing and reality. Meanwhile, new DOJ documents on the Jeffrey Epstein case reveal suspicious behavior and cash activity by prison staff before his death, raising further questions about accountability and transparency in federal institutions. Key Takeaways UK initially resisted U.S. requests to use military bases in Iran; Starmer faces criticism from Blair and the British media. HMS Dragon and RAF responses delayed due to labor regulations; NATO reliability questioned. U.S. and Israeli air forces dominate Iranian skies; ground invasion unnecessary. Oil prices spike temporarily; short-term disruptions tied to fear, not supply shortages. ISIS-inspired IED attacks in NYC misreported by media; attackers targeted ideological opponents. DOJ files on Epstein reveal suspicious cash deposits and questionable guard behavior, sparking renewed scrutiny.

Scott interviews Matthew Hoh about an article he just wrote debunking the old lie, that is being pushed once again, that the Iranian government helped kill hundreds of American soldiers by supplying critical parts for armor-piercing roadside IEDs. He and Scott also discuss how insane Trump's decision to attack Iran is.

Can we build a blueprint for how the right content can pressure institutions to evolve? In episode 170, I sat down with my buddy Ethan Nagel — veteran infantryman and lethal filmmaker who lives at the intersection of modern warfare and modern media. He breaks down exactly what he and the team at VET TV are building with BattleLab, a new live action show that drops two teams of elite operators into high pressure missions that push new military technology to its limits. This episode is a straight shot of reality: FPV attack drones are the new IEDs, and the next war is going to punish anyone clinging to comfort. Ethan explains how BattleLab fuses real-world lessons from Ukraine with hands-on experimentation — pitting elite, Tier One operators against emerging drone tactics to expose what works, what fails, and what gets people killed. He also gets brutally specific on storytelling and craft because BattleLab isn't “tactical content,” it's a serious training-adjacent series built by people who actually understand the battlefield and how audiences learn. Ethan walks through the production reality: why the first “sports broadcast” approach didn't hold attention, how they rebuilt the format around after-action breakdowns, and how he balances cinematic filmmaking with capturing honest, usable footage that infantry leaders can actually apply.

What does war look like when fought under the harshest scrutiny? Veteran soldier and military researcher Andrew Fox talks about his first-hand experience in Gaza with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. He and Roberts explore the challenges of reporting and understanding the war amid the challenges of disinformation, and why Fox believes that the IDF had few tactical alternatives to destroying infrastructure and buildings in the Gaza Strip. Fox also addresses the claims that Israel deliberately targeted Gazan children and wielded starvation as a weapon, and explains why he believes that Israel succeeded in achieving its strategic war goals.
Retired Waltham Police Sergeant and NEMLEC SWAT operator Jim Vaglica returns to Things Police See to deliver a full, unfiltered account of his response to the Boston Marathon bombing and the massive manhunt that followed. Jim walks listeners through the moment the bombs detonated, the chaos of deploying into Boston, the tense overnight searches in Watertown, and the dramatic final standoff where the second bomber was captured. His firsthand perspective reveals what really happened behind the scenes — the communication breakdowns, the tactical challenges, the danger of unexploded IEDs, and the sheer exhaustion of operators working more than 24 hours straight. This episode is a rare, detailed look at SWAT operations during one of the most significant domestic terrorism events in U.S. history. If you're interested in law enforcement, tactical operations, crisis response, or the Boston Marathon bombing, this interview is essential listening.

1. Foiled Terror Attack in Los Angeles Incident: FBI arrested five suspects allegedly planning coordinated New Year’s Eve bombings in Los Angeles. Group: Identified as the Turtle Island Liberation Front, described as a radical pro-Palestinian, anti-American extremist group. Details: Planned attacks using improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at five locations. Four suspects arrested in Lucerne Valley while testing bomb components; a fifth arrested in New Orleans. Materials included potassium nitrate, PVC pipes, sulfur powder, and charcoal. Ideology: Anti-U.S., pro-Palestinian, anti-law enforcement; Instagram posts included “Death to America” and “Free Palestine.” 2. DOJ and FBI Emails on Mar-a-Lago Raid Revelation: Internal FBI emails show agents doubted probable cause for the August 2022 raid on Trump’s residence.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 12/06/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS After 5 fruitless years of investigating, White enforcement officials made an arrest in connection to the pipe bombs placed at the Washington D.C Republican and Democratic facilities on the even of the January 6, 2021 terrorist attacks. Brian J. Cole Jr., a black male and VA resident, was taken into custody on suspicion of the being the culprit for the IEDs. We'll also discuss President Trump's Racist remarks targeting so called Somalians. He blamed these non-white people for "trashing" Minnesota, and said we should prohibit them from entering the so called country. Surprisingly, many White people immediately branded Trump's comments as Racist. We'll also pay our respects to San Francisco legend Claude the albino alligator. The pale reptile died at the age of 30, which is relatively young for his species. Apparently, Claude lived a great life and was shouted out and sincerely mourned by many California elected officials. They may lower the state flag to half staff to honor their late albino mascot. #BlackMentalHealth INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
The Cold War ended, but crises kept coming. This episode opens in the Balkans, where Yugoslavia's breakup pulls Marines into a different mission. Offshore in the Adriatic, they fly strikes, launch rescues, and put infantry ashore as refugee camps, no-fly zones, and patrols blur the line between war and relief. From there, the story follows deployments to Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Albania, and East Timor, where Marines secure embassies, evacuate civilians, and support coalitions trying to hold together collapsing states. Then 9/11 hits, and the long war begins. Task Force 58 pushes hundreds of miles inland to seize Rhino and Kandahar, proving sea-based Marines can operate inside a landlocked country. The chapter ends in Helmand, in places like Garmsir, Now Zad, and the Ganjgal Valley, where patrol bases, IEDs, and hard lessons define a war with no clean finish.

PREVIEW Counterinsurgency Challenges and Narcoterrorism Threats Post-Intervention in Venezuela. Colonel Jeff McClausen, United States Army retired, examines the serious counterinsurgency challenges the US would face 50 days or 50 weeks after a potential Venezuelan intervention. The threat comes from narcoterrorism gangs operating from sanctuaries in neighboring countries like Colombia, Ecuador, or Brazil, who might use IEDs in the jungle if their livelihood is threatened. Colonel McClausen notes that while US forces fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, the focus has shifted to large-scale conventional warfare, leading to a loss of specialized counterinsurgency experience.

//The Wire//2300Z October 22, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: VIOLENT CAREER CRIMINAL GRANTED BOND IN CHARLOTTE AFTER SHOOTING TODDLER. MEMBERS OF SINGH FAMILY CARGO THEFT RING ARRESTED IN CALIFORNIA. PENTAGON REPORTS STRIKE IN PACIFIC OCEAN AS NARCO WAR SPREADS. NEW HAMPSHIRE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE RETURNS TO BENCH AFTER ACCEPTING PLEA DEAL IN CRIMINAL CASE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Ireland: Unrest in Dublin continued throughout the night, with thousands of protesters and rioters taking up position outside the Citywest Hotel. Today, local observers noted significant fortification efforts being undertaken at the sprawling complex that encompasses the resort hotel, indicating much more protest activity is expected.Analyst Comment: The situation was made worse by the fact that most media organizations have only focused on the riot itself, and not the kidnap and rape of a child that started the whole affair. Compounding issues further was the observation of another load of migrants being bussed in to the area under heavy police protection.South America: The War Department has announced another kinetic strike on a narco vessel, bringing the total count to 8x vessels sunk so far this campaign. This vessel was not sunk in the Caribbean, but rather in the Pacific Ocean in a vicinity that has not yet been disclosed. 2x individuals onboard the vessel were killed during the strike.Analyst Comment: Regarding the previous strike on the Narco Submarine, details have come to light regarding the survivors of that strike. One individual was Columbian and was repatriated to Columbia after being severely wounded during the strike. This individual (who has not been identified) suffered severe wounds and might not survive. The other individual was from Ecuador and has been identified as Andrés Fernando Tufiño. He was repatriated to Ecuador, and was promptly released without any charges being filed as the government of Ecuador states that he committed no crime. This is quite a bold statement considering he was fished out of the ocean after his narco submarine filled with cocaine was sunk by an AC-130J gunship, but nevertheless this points to the seriousness of the situation. Venezuela, despite being the face of this campaign...is certainly not the only belligerent in this conflict, which is rapidly escalating into a region-wide war.-HomeFront-Wyoming: This morning the State Capitol building was evacuated after a suspicious package was discovered. Eventually EOD personnel rendered the device safe, and the building remained closed for the rest of the day. It is not clear at the moment if this device was an explosive device, but the investigation continues.Analyst Comment: This incident, while not uncommon, does provide a learning opportunity for all. A staffer initially discovered the device wedged in the state seal near the entrance to the building. Rather than leaving the suspicious package in place and immediately contacting authorities (as is the recommended procedure for the discovery of potential IEDs), the staffer picked it up and brought it inside the building. After tampering with the device for a bit, someone at some point realized that it might be an Improvised Explosive Device, and security was alerted, prompting the evacuation.New Hampshire: State Supreme Court Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi has returned to the bench after being indicted on seven counts pertaining to her attempting to use her position on the Supreme Court to influence her husband's criminal case.Analyst Comment: Her husband, Geno Marconi, was the head of New Hampshire's Port Authority when he was indicted on multiple counts of evidence tampering. This stemmed from an investigation into his misappropriation of state funds, as well as running an organized crime syndicate in which he used his position to grant preferential treatment
//The Wire//2300Z October 16, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MULTIPLE IED ATTACKS STRIKE ECUADOR AS CONFLICT COMBATING ILLEGAL MINING INTENSIFIES. MIDDLE EAST PEACE DEAL ON UNCERTAIN GROUND AS TENSIONS CONTINUE RISING ON ALL SIDES. VENEZUELAN MILITARY SHIP REPORTEDLY BECOMES GROUNDED DURING TRAINING MISSION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Ecuador: The situation continues to deteriorate following a crackdown initiative targeting illegal mining operations. Many explosions have been reported over the past few days as mining groups affiliated with the Los Lobos cartel have taken to using their mining explosives in order to create IEDs targeting people and critical infrastructure. Two bridges were blown up yesterday in Guayaquil, and a Vehicle-Borne IED (VBIED) was detonated in the same city targeting the city mall. After this blast, another large IED was discovered in a vehicle somewhere in the city, which failed to explode.Analyst Comment: These IED attacks are the latest in a long series of woes in Ecuador. The situation sharply deteriorated back in 2023 with the assassination of Fernando Villavincencio, a Presidential candidate that was murdered just a few days before he was expected to win the election. This made a bad situation worse and Ecuador spiraled down into a defacto state of civil war, with belligerents mostly being aligned with the Los Choneros cartel and government forces. Over the past few months, prison riots, mass killings via gangs, and now IED blasts have become more common. The connection to why this matters to the US, is that back in 2018 one of the main power-players in Ecuador was the Tren de Aragua criminal syndicate.Venezuela: Yesterday a Venezuelan naval vessel ran aground off the coast while conducting a training mission. The ARV Capana (an amphibious landing ship) was observed by locals running aground on a sand bar, which resulted in her becoming stuck for a few hours.Middle East: The situation has remained both tense and chaotic as the return of captives' remains to Israel and various other developments continue to be a sticking point for lasting peace. Hamas officials have stated that there aren't any more remains that they can get to at the moment, which has caused tension.Analyst Comment: Major offensives remain tabled by both sides for now, however Hamas has conducted many mass-executions of alleged collaborators and/or spies, which has drawn the ire of President Trump who went as far as to threaten direct American intervention in Gaza (comments which he reversed-course on during a later press call). While that possibility is probably more of a knee-jerk threat than anything (after all, Hamas executing their own people for allegedly being spies doesn't really violate the peace agreement itself). Nevertheless, no one is out of the woods yet on this accord, and the situation can certainly flare back up into a big problem once again at the slightest provocation by any party.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This morning the White House announced that President Trump spoke with President Putin by phone, and that the conversation was very long and productive. Based on the description of the call as posted to President Trump's social media account, the call was positive and resulted in the scheduling of direct talks between the United States and Russia regarding the ending of the war in Ukraine.Analyst Comment: The implementation of higher-level direct talks with Russia is a positive sign, which has come about after weeks of decreasing relations regarding the war. The implementation of these talks also casts a bit of doubt on President Trump's previous statements regarding pushing Ukraine to conduct more offensives. Lately, there's been a lot of talk on the war by everyone involved, so it's anyone's guess as to whether or not all parties are interested in settling this war, but this wi
Blown up by a 25lb IED. Hunted by a sniper. Lost six Marines in one of the deadliest provinces in Afghanistan.This is Marine Lt. Col. Mike Manocchio's story — and it's unlike anything you've ever heard, and it's right here on today's Urban Valor Episode! Mike led troops through nonstop combat in Marjah, Helmand Province — an area packed with IEDs, ambushes, and Taliban fighters tracking their every move. He survived a massive explosion, had sniper rounds miss his head by inches, and still went back out to lead his men.But the hardest part wasn't the firefights. It was what came after. The survivor's guilt. The PTSD. The faces of the Marines who didn't come home.He opens up about the chaos of war, the day Kyle Carpenter threw himself on a grenade, and what it's like trying to put the pieces back together when the war ends — but the battle doesn't.If you're looking for Afghanistan war stories, Marine IED survival, or veteran interviews — this one's going to stay with you.
In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Colonel John Spencer, one of the world's leading experts on urban warfare, to break down the brutal realities of the Israel–Hamas war.Spencer explains how the October 7 invasion was more than a terror attack – it was a coordinated military operation, backed by Iran and linked to Hezbollah. He describes in detail how Hamas used tunnel networks, IEDs, and human shields to wage war inside Gaza, deliberately drawing civilians into the battlefield to create global outrage against Israel.We discuss the IDF's strategy, from their full-scale ground invasion on October 27 to the unprecedented measures taken to warn and evacuate civilians – even at the cost of prolonging the war. Spencer also reveals why Gaza has become the first modern “tunnel war”, why snipers and booby-trapped homes shaped the conflict, and how Israel managed to hold off threats across multiple fronts, from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Iran itself.This is a rare, insider military analysis of the Gaza war – exposing the tactics, strategies, and propaganda battles that most of the media ignore.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Introduction 4:27 Coordination of the October 7 Invasion 8:17 Hezbollah's Role and Hamas' Strategy 21:08 Hamas' Military Capabilities and Tactics35:14 IDF's Response and Strategic Decisions56:56 The Evolution of the Conflict and Hamas' Survival1:05:01 The Impact of Foreign Military Aid 1:11:52 The Role of Egypt and Humanitarian Considerations1:15:25 Vaccination Campaigns and Perceptions in Gaza1:25:19 Humanitarian Aid and Hamas' Control1:41:56 Jordanian and Egyptian Aid Efforts1:45:47 Resistance Within Gaza1:54:20 The Trump Peace Plan 1:59:49 Hamas' Incentives and Challenges 2:10:08 Netanyahu's Leadership During the War2:13:09 Final Thoughts and Future Outlook Hosted on Acast.

//The Wire//2300Z October 8, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TENSIONS HEAT UP IN CHICAGO AS LOCAL FORCES RESIST FEDERAL POLICING OF CRIME. DC CHURCH BOMBER DETAILS RELEASED, INDICATING INITIAL REPORTS WERE MISLEADING. DOJ TARGETS 2A GROUP AS JUDGE ORDERS DOXING OF ALL NONPROFIT MEMBERS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Illinois: The situation in Chicago remains tense following a general state of unrest surrounding illegal immigration policing efforts. Over the past few days, several incidents have taken place, which have contributed to the declining security situation around the city. A few days ago, a vehicle ramming attack was conducted on an ICE convoy transiting through the city. During the incident, a general state of chaos developed and ICE agents requested local police to assist with the incident. This call for assistance arrived at dispatch, where a stand-down order was given. All Chicago Police Officers were ordered to not assist ICE agents, even though a state of life and death was already underway.Analyst Comment: There has been a lot of media spin regarding this incident, but the audio tape of the radio traffic of this incident confirms beyond all doubt that the stand down order was given. As a result of this incident, a substantial federal response should be expected. A few hundred National Guard soldiers have been deployed throughout Chicago as of last week, all of which have been emplaced as security forces to guard federal buildings. However, since the relationship between local and federal officials has become antagonistic (per the orders of the Mayor and Governor), it would not be surprising to see some much heavier forces on the ground in Chicago very soon.Washington D.C. - Following the arrest of a man outside St. Matthew's Cathedral on Sunday, more details have come to light regarding the case. Police initially reported that they made contact with the man after he set up a camping tent on the front steps of the church before Mass. After causing a scene, it was initially reported by authorities that the man was searched, and a Molotov incendiary device was found. However, this was not the full story...a search of his possessions revealed that the man had over 200 homemade IEDs, along with a manifesto specifically referencing his desire to target Supreme Court Justices (along with a longer list of other targets).Analyst Comments: The details of this incident are a far cry from what DC Metro Police initially reported. Authorities also left out the details that they never even made contact with the man regarding his tent; when police tried to approach him initially, he threatened to throw an IED at them. To get the man to stand down and surrender, police had to agree to read the man's manifesto, which they did, ending the incident. Despite the scale and context of this attempted terror attack, the DoJ has not made any comment on whether Louis Geri will face federal terrorism charges.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Also in Washington, controversy has emerged following the targeting of a Second Amendment nonprofit organization by the Department of Justice. The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is an organization that launches lawsuits against entities which restrict gun rights. Recently, they launched a lawsuit against the federal government, challenging the federal ban on FFL's from selling handguns to individuals under the age of 21. During this lawsuit, discrepancies arose, which required an injunction to be filed regarding who was involved in the lawsuit. During the legalistic developments in this case, DoJ attorneys were able to convince a federal judge that all of the members of the SAF were part of the lawsuit...not just the nonprofit itself, or those invested in the lawsuit. In short, what this means is that a federal judge has ordered a gun rights non profit to turn over a list of all of their mem

Analyst Comment: This morning Denmark unexpectedly called up an unknown number of reservists into active military service. France and Sweden have also begun the process of sending counter-UAS systems to Denmark to help secure the upcoming EU summit in Copenhagen on Wednesday. It's not supposed to be a major summit (comparatively speaking), but security is still a concern due to the general tensions throughout Europe remaining high.-HomeFront-Illinois: Civil unrest regarding immigration detention facilities continued over the weekend, with several arrests being made at riots outside the facility in Broadview.

Send us a textWelcome to the July 11th edition of the Daily Drop, where the Pentagon plays Monopoly with rare earth minerals, drones become the new IEDs, and Trump hands out Patriot missiles like party favors—with NATO picking up the tab (allegedly). Jared unpacks the latest military madness with his usual blend of sarcasm, side-eyes, and straight-up disbelief. From AI drone swarms to banned eyelash extensions, from therapy dogs saving morale to space lasers tracking Chinese satellites—this one's got it all. Oh, and apparently we bombed Iran's nuclear sites… but maybe didn't hit anything? It's like a military-themed episode of “Nailed It!”
