Get your Temple Mount Patches https://israelguys.link/temple-patch-86ew4ch9p Check out our upcoming Harvest Trips https://israelguys.link/israel-trip-86ewc1v67 Don't forget to join Jeremy and Ari at The Land of Israel Fellowship: https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/ For the first time in 25 years, hundreds of Jews prayed at Joseph's Tomb in Shechem, marking a historic shift in Judea and Samaria. Long restricted to nighttime visits under heavy IDF escort, worshippers were allowed to visit the heritage site during the daytime, a move Israeli leaders and rabbis called a long-overdue rectification and a step toward restoring a full Jewish presence at the site. This development comes just weeks after prayer restrictions were also eased on the Temple Mount. As these changes unfold on the ground, regional tensions are rising. President Trump announced a "massive armada" led by the USS Abraham Lincoln is moving toward Iran, while antisemitic violence again surfaced in New York and a disconnect from the Bible was evidenced by Tucker Carlson's remarks in Saudi Arabia.

The justifications for war with Iran keep changing. First it's nukes, then it's conventional missiles, then it's protesters, and now it's back to nukes again. Kinda seems like war with Iran is itself the objective, and they're just making up excuses to get there. Reading by Tim Foley.

Since its announcement, President Trump's “Board of Peace” has made a number of headlines, and many in the region are asking if it can live up to its name, especially when it comes to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. As the President talks peace, he's also raising the temperature with Iran, with a US aircraft carrier and warships approaching the region. More alarming however, is what seems to be an abandonment of Syria's Kurds and the message it sends not just to America's partners and allies, but to minorities in the region.Thanos Davelis is joined by experts Aaron David Miller, Nadine Maenza, Sinan Ciddi, and Michael Rubin as we try to make sense of what's going on in a region of particular importance to Greece and Cyprus. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, this week we are dedicating it to the life and legacy of a giant in the Greek-American community, John Marks, who passed away this month.

Tommy and Ben explain why Trump backed off his threat to take Greenland by force and debate whether European leaders have finally found a playbook for how to push back, the backlash to Trump's disgraceful denigration of NATO troops and their service in Afghanistan, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's bold attempt to break from the United States and forge a new international order. Then they cover the purge of top military leaders in China and widespread rumors of a coup attempt against Chinese President Xi Jinping, Jared Kushner's much-derided PowerPoint presentation on the future of Gaza, new details about how the Iranian regime crushed the recent protests and why there may now be an even greater likelihood that the US bombs Iran (again), a humiliating and terrifying profile of Kash Patel's first year at the FBI, and why a real estate forum in Saudi Arabia made us want to cry. Then Tommy speaks with Kenneth Rosen, author of Polar War: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic, about why the Arctic is becoming a geopolitical flashpoint.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: New reporting reveals Iran's supreme leader personally ordered security forces to shoot protesters on sight. But the most revealing detail may not be the order itself—it's that the information is now leaking from inside the regime, offering a rare glimpse into internal strain at the highest levels of power. Later in the show—Iraq's intelligence chief warns that ISIS is quietly rebuilding its ranks, with militants regrouping across the border in Syria and positioning themselves to exploit regional instability. Plus—a U.S. official says any effort to disarm Hamas in Gaza would likely include some form of amnesty, as the next phase of the ceasefire agreement begins to take shape. And in today's Back of the Brief—Washington may be headed for another partial government shutdown, with lawmakers deadlocked and no clear off-ramp in sight amid clashes over immigration enforcement.

Is the United States about to launch a larger attack on Iran, than last June, when 'Operation Midnight Hammer' targeted its nuclear programme? Earlier this month President Trump told protesters that "help was on the way," and now thousands are dead. We hear from a former US envoy to Iran.Also on the programme: Tensions over ICE agents persist in Minnesota - we get a view from the Democrats; and we hear the extraordinary story of mathematician Dr Gladys West, who has died at the age of 95.(Photo: The USS Abraham Lincoln shown in 2019; Credit : US Navy via Reuters)

The UK's prime minister Keir Starmer has arrived in China for a three-day visit - the first by a British prime minister in eight years.Sir Keir is seeking to strengthen trading and cultural ties between the two nations after years of acrimony.Also in the programme: We'll hear from people inside Iran as families and friends try to count the number of dead during the recent crackdown; and new research into the late novelist Terry Pratchett suggests a person's use of words could help diagnose dementia much earlier.(Photo shows UK prime minister Keir Starmer arriving in Beijing, China on 28 January 2026.

We are gearing up for another false flag attack designed to provoke Iran into a full blown war. According to sources Redacted has spoken to... key US and Israeli military hardware is almost in place for this new attack. We've also learned that Russia has massive counter measures in place and ready for this attack. And we've also learned that the US is not calling the shots here... it's Israel and the deep state war clan that are driving this entire move. 

January felt like a decade—and the world order may have just shifted.In this episode of Rebuilders, we unpack the extraordinary global developments that marked the start of 2026. From the dramatic ICE raids in Minnesota, to Trump's military strike in Venezuela, to rising tensions in Iran and the eerie blackout in Greenland—this month has signalled more than just upheaval. It reveals a deep, global redefinition of how power works.Mark explores how the old world order—shaped by institutions, norms, and restraint—is giving way to a new one marked by raw assertion, norm-breaking, and unfiltered authority. What does it mean when the usual checks and balances no longer apply? And how should followers of Jesus respond in a world that feels increasingly disorienting?If you've felt overwhelmed, confused, or powerless lately, this conversation will bring clarity—and hope.

Andrew Day, Curt Mills, and Jude Russo discuss the latest ICE shooting in Minneapolis and whether the politics of immigration now favor the Democrats. Then, they debate the nature of "the West," whether America should maintain strong ties with Europe, and the U.S. effort to gain control of Greenland. Finally, they make predictions about whether Trump will strike Iran by Valentine's Day. Recorded January 27, 2026.

The protests that began in Iran last month have been suppressed with a level of state violence not seen since the 1980s, when the Islamic Republic executed thousands of leftists and other dissidents. In this episode, Adam Shatz talks to Chowra Makaremi and Amir Ahmadi Arian about the evolution of public dissent in Iran since 1979 and why the ‘Woman, Life, Freedom' movement of 2022 opened the way to more overtly revolutionary protest. They also discuss the economic collapse underpinning the most recent uprising and the ways in which the Iranian regime has refined the use of opacity and rumour to consolidate its power. Chowra Makaremi is an anthropologist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Paris and Amir Ahmadi Arian is a novelist and assistant professor at Binghamton University, New York.

With rising tensions in Israel and growing talk of an impending IRAN war, many Jews are asking if we're entering the End Times foretold by prophecy. In this powerful interview, Yishai Fleisher challenges how rabbis and Jewish influencers talk about Aliyah - arguing that pressure and fear may be pushing Jews away instead of drawing them closer. Could this moment be part of the path toward Moshiach, unfolding through small, dignified steps rather than dramatic moves?

Iran's authoritarian government has faced widespread protests in recent weeks, marking the most extensive unrest the country has seen in decades. The demonstrations, which began at the end of 2025, were triggered by an economic crisis and plummeting currency values. Tehran has responded with a violent crackdown leading to thousands of deaths. President Donald Trump initially responded by threatening military action. Will he follow through? Join us for a conversation between Iran expert Banafsheh Keynoush and UCLA professor and fellow Iran scholar Dalia Dassa Kaye about the latest developments in the crisis, possible U.S. responses, and what it all means for the region.  They'll also discuss Dassa Kaye's new book Enduring Hostility, which explores how America's Iran policy is made, the people who make it, and the underlying ideas and perceptions that inform it. The book looks back at U.S. policy toward Iran over the past four decades to help us look ahead, offering wider lessons for understanding American foreign policymaking and providing critical insights at a pivotal time of heightened military tensions in and around the Middle East.

In this episode of Right On Radio, host Jeff is joined by guest John for a wide-ranging live conversation that mixes scripture, current events, and spiritual commentary. The show opens with the Word on Word segment—comparing Philippians 4:6 and John 4:24—and explores the role of prayer, worship in spirit and truth, and the believer's response to fear and unrest. The hosts examine a controversial claim that recent ice storms and freezing events may be part of deliberate geoengineering and "weather warfare." They share local reports of power outages, generators, and personal stories from listeners affected by the storm, using those accounts to underscore themes of providence and faith in adversity. On geopolitics, the episode dives into Iran: reports of a decades-long drought allegedly tied to weather modification, Trump-era military posturing, the possibility of regime change, and the complex mix of opposition movements (including discussion of the Shah, Restart and democratic elements). John and Jeff also discuss Iran's cyber capabilities and the broader military implications of a U.S.-Iran confrontation. The show turns to domestic and transnational security issues—Palantir, the case of Jacob Peretti and ICE, interruptions to media feeds, Q-drop references, and claims about covert influence operations. They also play and react to clips alleging misuse of humanitarian funds (e.g., accusations involving Bono, USAID and Somalia), raising questions about charity, covert action, and media narratives. Listeners hear a critique of New Age and mindfulness trends (featuring a clip from researcher Greg Reese) contrasted with Christian teaching. The hosts discuss the psychology of distraction and the "default mode network," highlight the danger of an inward-focused "self" culture, and argue for scripture-centered identity and practices of prayerful presence over self-help approaches. Episode wrap-up includes practical notes—where to follow the hosts, a fundraising update, invitations to Telegram prayer meetings, and a reminder to love God, family, and neighbor. Expect a mix of theological reflection, geopolitical analysis, media critique, and on-the-ground listener reports in this hard-hitting, faith-centered episode.

Noam and Jen discuss another shooting death in Minneapolis at the hands of ICE / Border Patrol (we can't tell the difference anymore), the intense fallout from both the shooting itself and the Trump administration's reaction to it, who will or will not keep their job, does it even matter, bringing a gun to a protest, and how bragging about lying can backfire.  We also discuss what we know about the situation in Iran, since it is still hard to get information on what is happening inside the country with protests and how many have been killed. However many it is, it is too many for the world to be this silent about it.  There is a bit of good news to report - for the first time in over a decade, there are no Israeli hostages in Gaza. The last body was returned home this week, which was a relief given everything that has happened over the past few years.  For our WAWC, Noam pitches you on watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and Jen finishes up the MAPPA trifecta by watching Hell's Paradise.
