Donald Trump has betrayed his promise to be a pro-peace president. Prodded by Washington hawks and the Israeli government, he has green-lit Israel's attack on Iran, which the Untied States might soon join directly. A new Middle Eastern war would be a catastrophe. In order to stop it, Democrats will need to recover the anti-war politics that they adopted in opposition to George W. Bush's Iraq War. I spoke with Matt Duss, vice-president of the Center for International Policy on how popular mobilization can push both Democrats and Republicans in congress to stand up to Trump's war. Matt recently wrote on this topic for Foreign policy. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

International Policy students will be spending their careers in an AI-enabled world. We wanted our students to be prepared for it. This is why we've adopted and integrated AI in our Stanford national security policy class – Technology, Innovation and Great Power Competition. Here's what we did, how the students used it, and what they (and we) learned.

President Trump appears dead set on joining Israel's war with Iran. After a period of negotiations, Trump has now tweeted that he wants Iran's “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” The New York Times has a deep dive into his deliberations, and the findings are shocking. Trump is ready for war even though our own intelligence assessments don't support the case for it. And incredibly, the Times reports, Trump was influenced on all this by what he saw on Fox News, which broadcast relentless imagery of Israel's “genius” bombing of Iran. This led Trump to want “some credit for himself” for the attack, after which he “began hinting that he had played a bigger behind-the-scenes role in the war than people realized.” He then leaned more towards escalation. We talked to veteran national security hand Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, who has a great piece for Foreign Policy magazine on the situation. He explains why the case for war is so weak, how Trump is getting manipulated into it so easily, and what to expect as all this unfolds.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Just when it seemed the geopolitical horrors in the Middle East couldn't get worse, Israel went from leveling Gaza to launching a war against Iran. The offensive started while President Donald Trump was pressing for an Iran nuclear deal that would limit the country's capacity to build nuclear weapons — and yet still Trump reportedly greenlit Israel's attack. Today on Lever Time, editor-in-chief David Sirota speaks with Matt Duss, former Senate foreign policy aide for Bernie Sanders and current executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, to explore what triggered this new offensive and what role the U.S. government is playing. Is the endgame here World War III?

This week, 124 countries agreed at the World Health Assembly in Geneva on measures aimed at preventing a future pandemic. The agreement very strongly favours a “One Health” approach, appreciating how so many potential pathogens originate in human-animal interactions. Still to agree on the terms of how to share pathogens and information with global science and vaccine researchers, eventually the treaty will need to be signed by at least 60 countries. But can the inequity between countries of the global south and north, and issues of intellectual property, be bridged?A new study on origins of the Nigerian mpox epidemic points strongly to zoonotic crossovers and mobility of wildlife in West Africa. Edyth Parker of Redeemer's University in Nigeria describes their phylogenetic tree.Can the bovine form of H5N1 flu infect pigs, and could domestic pig populations then provide a crucible for further variants to develop? Jürgen Richt of Kansas State University and colleagues have been investigating. We need to keep up vigilance.Lucy van Dorp of University College London, working with a consortium including London's Crick Institute, has been looking at a moment in the past when human activity provided an opportunity for a bacterial human pathogen to change its lifestyle. According to their phylogenetic tree, the bacterium Borrelia recurrentis (which causes louse-borne relapsing fever in humans) adapted and moved from ticks to human body lice around about the same time as humans started using woollen clothing.And Susan Lieberman, VP for International Policy at the Wildlife Conservation Society, was in the trenches of the Pandemic Agreement negotiations, and shares some of her hopes for its success.

The Trump administration is putting pressure on Ukraine to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan with Russia that closely aligns with Moscow's goals in the three-year war. The deal calls for freezing the battle lines that exist today — essentially forcing Ukraine to cede a vast swath of its eastern territory to Russian control. The U.S. also wants Ukraine to recognize the Crimean Peninsula, which Moscow illegally annexed in 2014, as Russian territory, and give up its goal of joining NATO. Vice President J.D. Vance said Wednesday that the U.S. would 'walk away' from negotiations if the two countries refused to accept the administration's terms. Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy and a former adviser to Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, breaks down why the Trump administration wants to strong-arm Ukraine over Russia and what it says about President Trump's views on power.And in headlines: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tried to ease fears over the administration's trade war with China, Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin announced plans to retire at the end of his term, and more Democratic members of Congress traveled to El Salvador to highlight Trump's threats to due process.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Anuj sits down with Captain Matthew Hoh, former US Marine and now Fellow with the Eisenhower Media Network. Matt's personal journey has literally moved through war, to trying to take on the machine of war making. While Matt is prominent as a writer, podcast and media guest for sharing his informed perspectives on current affairs, this conversation is a deeper look into Matt the man, and the personal journey that led him to be who he is today. Recorded in January 2025, this conversation captures many questions that we all should be asking ourselves about the state of the world, our perpensity for war, and what we can do to change the narrative of the future. EMN Associate Director Matthew Hoh had nearly twelve years experience with the US military and the wars overseas with the United States Marine Corps, Department of Defense and State Department. Matthew Hoh is the Associate Director of the Eisenhower Media Network. In 2009, Matthew Hoh resigned in protest from his post in Afghanistan with the State Department over the American escalation of the war. Prior to his assignment in Afghanistan, Matt took part in the American occupation of Iraq; first in 2004-2005 in Salah ad Din Province with a State Department reconstruction and governance team and then in 2006-2007 in Anbar Province as a Marine Corps company commander. When not deployed, Matt worked on Afghanistan and Iraq war policy and operations issues at the Pentagon and State Department from 2002-2008. From 2010-2024, Matt was affiliated with the Center for International Policy, first as a senior fellow and later as a senior fellow emeritus. He is a disabled veteran. Special Guest: Matthew Hoh.

Part 1:We talk with Megan O'Matz, reporter for ProPublica.We discuss with her the election for Wisconsin Supreme Court, which has been flooded with money from Musk. The issues for Wisconsin remain important, and they are the protection of abortion in Wisconsin, union rights, and how redistricting will be done.Part 2:We talk with Mel Goodman, Senior Fellow at the Center for International Policy and a professor of government at Johns Hopkins University. A former CIA analyst, Goodman is the author of "Failure of Intelligence: The Decline and Fall of the CIA" and "National Insecurity: The Cost of American Militarism". and "A Whistleblower at the CIA." His most recent books are "American Carnage: The Wars of Donald Trump" (Opus Publishing, 2019) and "Containing the National Security State" (Opus Publishing, 2021). Goodman is the national security columnist for counterpunch.org.We discuss the recent scandal of Hegseth and his group using an insecure app to discuss war strategy and operations in real time. We note that this seems almost as a designed distraction from the other actions that are being taken by Trump, such as shutting down various agencies and denying allocated money to programs.Goodman also discusses the poor intelligence being presented to the Defense Department, through the flawed and slanted "threat assessment" reports. Everything seems to be by 'seat-of-pants' rather than real analysis. "Incompetent liars are in charge." Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

One of the key aspects of wildness is adaptation. Being able to change and adapt to different needs, in different environments, is a cornerstone of resilience. While a large part of this involves getting to know the land where you dwell, it helps to know multiple landscapes. It can teach you how to think on your toes and figure out how to do things in new ways. While rewilding leans more toward longer term ancestral living within a culture, and survival is more about meeting immediate needs in a context removed from culture, survival skills are a necessary base that culture builds on top of. In this way, people into rewilding should consider practicing survival skills in multiple environments, as a way of building the foundations of resilience. To talk with me about this today, is Tom McElroy from Wild Survival Skills. Tom McElroy has taught Survival and Primitive Skills to more than 15,000 students worldwide over the past 23 years.  During his twenties Tom spent an entire year living 'off the land'.  He built and lived in a shelter made from forest material, rubbed sticks together to make fire, purified water naturally and hunted, fished and gathered his own food.  Tom has taught at various schools around the world, including Tom Brown Jr.'s Tracker School. He holds a bachelor's degree in Anthropology and Geography from Rutgers University and a Master's in International Policy related to Indigenous Peoples from the University of Connecticut and has studied with indigenous people all over the world. Notes:InstagramYouTubeWild Skills SurvivalDesert Island SurvivalSupport the show

Recording of our November 14, 2024 webinar. This conversation was hosted by Hadar Susskind. Along with special guest Allison McManus, we discussed what a second Trump administration may hold for Israel-Palestine peacebuilding work. We covered Trump's recent appointee nominations, the effects of potential policies on our agenda, as well as how the US-Israel relationship could shift with Trump back in the White House. Allison McManus is a managing director for the National Security and International Policy department at American Progress. Prior to joining American Progress, she was the managing director at the Freedom Initiative, where she advocated for political prisoners in the Middle East and North Africa. She also served as the research director of the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy from 2014 to 2019.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with Jean Su, Energy Justice Director for the Center For Biological Diversity, to discuss her recent piece in the New Republic entitled "Trump's Election Is a Disaster for the Climate—and an Opportunity." Then, she speaks with Sina Toossi, senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, to discuss Trump's cabinet appointments when it comes to foreign policy. First, Emma runs through updates on Trump's pick of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General just before the release of his ethics report, the GOP's Senate leadership fight, Mike Johnson's plea to Trump, a Pennsylvania election recount for the Senate race, Elon's grating personality, Biden's gift to Trump, Russia's escalation in the wake of the reelection of Donald Trump, the prosecution of Marine Le Pen, the NLRB, malpractice in the investigation of the death of Nex Benedict, New York's congestion pricing, and the sale of Alex Jones' InfoWars to the Onion, also briefly reflecting on the future of the Matt Gaetz nomination. Jean Su then joins, jumping right into the unfortunate timing of Trump's reelection as the ever-insufficient COP29 environmental conference is held in fossil-fuel haven Azerbaijan, as she and Emma unpack the extreme limitations (largely pushed by the US) of the Paris Agreement, and why Trump's plan to withdraw from the agreement might, in fact, open up an opportunity for the international community to explore greater economic, environmental, and energy alternatives on the global scale. After expanding on the myriad insufficiencies and clear western-centricity in the existing Paris Agreement, and the importance of giving countries in the global south – where the impact of the climate catastrophe is greatest – a greater role at the table, Su explores how the battle over climate change is shifting drastically from one between rich and poor nations to one between rich and poor people. Wrapping up, Julie and Emma tackle the lackluster progression to the climate transition in the US under the Biden Administration, and why pushing against capitalism is central to this fight moving forward. Next, Sina Toossi and Emma look to the developing picture of Trump's cabinet in his upcoming administration, as neocons like Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz, and Pete Hegseth are named to the supposedly-anti-war candidate's office, before touching on the major role that radical Christian Zionists seem to play as well. After expanding on what a Christian Zionist administration would mean for the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine, Sina and Emma wrap up with the balance a Trump presidency would see between accelerating the development of a multipolar world order and wreaking mass chaos, disruption, and death, with a particular focus on Iran and the Middle East when it comes to that latter point. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they bask in Alex Jones' reaction to the Onion purchasing InfoWars at a bankruptcy auction, before diving deep into an NYT article that makes a few things clear, from the incomprehensible rationale to the evident existence of the shy Trump voter. They also talk with David from San Fran about the role of oil in Israel's ongoing annexation of Gaza, parse through the absurd endeavor that has been Trump naming his cabinet picks (much to Mike Johnson's chagrin), and discuss the future of green cards and immigration with Alex from California. Joe from Jersey unpacks the connection between anti-semitism and enthusiastic Zionism, plus, your calls and IMs!

In his first public address since the US Presidential election, Joe Biden has commended Kamala Harris, saying she led an inspiring campaign, and has promised a peaceful transition for Donald Trump. We'll ask a newly elected congressman, Brendan Boyle, what the Democratic Party will do next. And speak to Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, why things went so wrong for the democrats. And one Mr Trump's most most loyal lieutenants, his former secretary of commerce, Wilbur Ross, on what he thinks of Donald Trump's economic plans this time around. Also on the programme: UNESCO to hold a meeting to consider enhancing protection for cultural sites in Lebanon where Israel is continuing to launch strikes; and President Zelensky says calls for a ceasefire in Ukraine without guarantees of security for the country are dangerous and irresponsible.(Photo: President Biden.

Donald Trump and JD Vance have a surprising closing message in the 2024 election: they are the antiwar candidate. About the rising conflict in the Middle East, Trump has said, “I wanna see it all stop, I wanna see the Middle East get back to peace.” On a podcast, Vance criticized the Biden “Even though they say they want to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties, they pursued the pathway that maximizes those casualties. They say that they're pro-Israel. They've pursued the pathway that has prolonged the war as long as possible, which is bad for Israel.”This message is of course deeply cynical since Trump is planning on staffing his administration with hawks, as he did in his first term. But it might have appeal to undecided voters, who polls show are strongly antiwar.To discuss why Democrats have ceded the peace vote to the GOP, I talked to Matt Duss, vice president of the Center for International Policy and frequent guest of the show.

An emergency pod: “War, or something resembling war, is breaking out in the Middle East,” says Shadi Hamid. A year after the October 7 massacre, Israel has all but destroyed Hamas. Last month, it killed Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah, thus decapitating that terrorist organization. This week, it launched an invasion of southern Lebanon. In retaliation, Iran — the longtime backer of Hezbollah — has lobbed a barrage of ballistic missiles into Israel. We decided to release the podcast early this week, before it is overtaken by the swiftly-moving events. What is this war about? What should the US do about it? Does anyone in the US political class truly believe that the Arab world is capable of democracy? Were the Abraham Accords foolish — or racist? How do you define a “rogue state”? What is Netanyahu right about?Joining Shadi Hamid and Damir Marusic to discuss these questions is Matt Duss, Executive Vice President of the Center for International Policy, co-host of the Undiplomatic Podcast, and former foreign policy advisor for Senator Bernie Sanders. “A lot of [Arab Americans] are not going to pull the lever for Kamala Harris,” Shadi reports. Matt lambasts the “racist logic” of the Abraham Accords, which swept the Palestinian question aside and decided that “this is the best [America] can hope for, deals with modernizing autocrats.” Damir applies a realpolitik analysis, explaining the Israeli military strategy and arguing that American and European diplomats have no choice but to strike deals with the autocrats that rule the world. Shadi responds: “Realpolitik is supposed to be effective.”It's a passionate, intense discussion that strikes at the core preoccupations of Wisdom of Crowds: justice, war, and the state. Free for all subscribers: You will want to listen to the whole thing.Required Reading:* Shadi's responses to subscribers' provocations about the Middle East (WoC). * Bruno Maçães' article on the end of Western hypocrisy (Time).* Jeffrey Goldberg's 2016 article on “The Obama Doctrine” (The Atlantic). * James Baldwin on the Dick Cavett Show (YouTube). * The Abraham Accords (US State Department).

0:08 – John Nichols is National Affairs Correspondent for the Nation.  0:33 – Negar Mortazavi, senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, and host of The Iran Podcast.  The post Vice Presidential debate debrief with John Nichols; Plus Iran's missile attack against Israel with Negar Mortazavi appeared first on KPFA.

Our guest today holds a Master's degree in International Policy from Harvard University and a PhD in Language, Literacy and Technology from Columbia University. Her expertise and commitment to inclusive technologies make her an influential voice in digital anthropology and AI ethics. She is a renowned digital anthropologist, author and professor focusing on inclusive AI cultures at Utrecht University. She spent the first 18 years of her life in her native country India, then in the US in San Francisco, Boston and New York, and she currently lives in Amsterdam. As co-founder of FemLab, a feminist initiative on the future of work, she is committed to designing inclusive technologies and policies. Her research focuses on internet use in the Global South, especially global digital cultures, inequality and data governance. She is the author of several award-winning books, including “The Next Billion Users”, which was praised by Forbes as groundbreaking. Her latest book is called: “From Pessimism to Promise: Lessons from the Global South on Designing Inclusive Tech”. Her work has been featured in over 150 international media outlets, including the BBC, Financial Times and The Economist. She is a sought-after speaker and advises various organizations such as UNHCR, Spotify and Google on topics of digital innovation and inclusion. For more than seven years and in 450 episodes, we have talked to well over 500 people about how their work has changed and what still needs to change. We are absolutely certain that it is important to do so right now. After all, the idea of “New Work” was developed during a real crisis. How can we look to the future with more optimism in the face of current challenges? Why do we need to talk 'with' the “Global South” and not 'to' the Global South? And what exactly can we learn from the 90 percent of young people worldwide who all live in the Global South? We are looking for methods, role models, experiences, tools and ideas that will help us get to the heart of New Work! In addition, we have been dealing with the question from the very beginning of whether everyone can really find and live what they really, really want at heart. You are at “On the Way to New Work” in collaboration with Zoomer Meets Boomer with Payal Arora and Oskar and Michael Trautmann.

Who is Iran's new reformist president, Dr Masoud Pezeshkian, and can he bring change? Negar Mortazavi speaks to Sina Toosi, Senior Nonresident Fellow at the Center for International Policy in Washington. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theiranpodcast/support

On May 19th, a helicopter crash in Iran killed President Ebrahim Raisi and several top government officials. This forced new presidential elections, and on July 5th, Masoud Pezeshkian defeated his more hardline opponent and is now Iran's president-elect. Pezeshkian comes from the reformist faction of Iranian politics, but real power still lies in the hands of unelected clerics, none more so than Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Still, this election will have an impact on Iran's relationship with the outside world, including the West. Joining me to explain the international implications of Masoud Pezeshkian's election is Sina Toossi, a senior nonresident fellow at the Center for International Policy. We discuss what we mean by "reformist" in the context of Iranian politics, which leads into a broad conversation about the kinds of changes we might see in Iranian domestic and foreign policy as Pezeshkian takes the reins of government from a hardline faction that has been dominant for the last several years.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, to discuss the recent events from the weekend in Israel, Palestine, & foreign policy. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Macron's call for snap elections in France, Israel's mass slaughter of Palestinians in the freeing of four hostages, UC's academic worker strike, Biden's newest Executive Order on immigration, Trump-Biden polling, social media, and Bob Menendez legal troubles, before diving into Marjorie Taylor Greene's parallel between two people definitely criminally convicted by federal governments, Donald Trump and Jesus Christ. Matt Duss then joins, diving right into Biden's recent decision to overshadow Trump's conviction with an announcement of supposed ongoing ceasefire negotiations of Israel's design, and how these talks inevitably fell into the same pattern of Netanyahu taking drastic action to prove bad faith to push Palestinian actors to kill the deal, unpacking why Biden is so scared of actually holding Israel to account, and touching on the major impact the continuation of this conflict is having on the already-precarious standing of US legitimacy in the Middle East. Returning to the ceasefire document, Duss walks through the important step toward peace this proposal represents, with contents that would actually require Biden (and others) to confront the Israeli government's illegal occupation and the future of Palestinian statehood, before shifting to a brief conversation on domestic politics in Israel, from public opinion on the war to the power of Netanyahu's far-right coalition, and touch on the recent Nuseirat Massacre and its further undermining of the humanitarian effort in Gaza. After reflecting on the Biden Administration's failures with the Iran Nuclear Deal, Matt, Sam, and Emma wrap up with a brief assessment of the rising threat of fascism in Europe, and the slight containment of fascism in India. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive into the (minimal) coverage of Israel's internment camp and the horrors faced by Palestinian detainees, Sean from Spain explores various organizing efforts, and Kenny from Berkeley expands on the UC school system's attempt to use California's conservative courts to break the backs of its academic workers. Seb Gorka and guest discuss how very relatable they (and Donald Trump) are to the working class and Don from New Jersey on escalating dissent against US support for genocide in Gaza. Donald Trump goes teleprompter-free and hits his audience with some raw truths, like “I don't pay contractors,” Steve Bannon discusses the political lawfare being exercised against him, and Kristi Noem gets protective against Dana Bash, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! But first, Sam and Emma speak with Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, to discuss the events of the past weekend involving Iran & Israel. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump's legal woes, Israel's ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, the New York Times' anti-Palestinian bias, the House GOP's conflicted agenda, DOJ anti-trust, and SCOTUS' recent attack on protest, before exploring reports on how Trump's hush money case is devastatingly interfering in his personal life. Matt Duss then joins, first parsing through the context for Iran's retaliation against Israel, including the consistent communication between Iran and the US, and clear intent from Iran to deescalate in the wake of their attack on Israeli military facilities, before touching on the conflict between the genuine threat of rising tensions in the region and the understanding that this response could have been much worse. After briefly touching on the role that this Iran-Israel affair plays in Bibi Netanyahu's attempt to cling to power (and Israel's attempt to maintain international legitimacy), they shift to the US perspective, exploring the complete failure of Biden's approach to Israel's genocidal and offensive campaign, and what it has done to undermine his ability to reestablish (or even maintain) an international rules-based order. Sam and Emma wrap up the first half by diving into the ongoing attempt by the House to reauthorize FISA's expansion of the surveillance state. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Mike Johnson maintain a brave facade in the face of his party's insanity, chat with a Tesla worker, and watch Clay Travis and Buck Sexton walk through their plan to get Trump off (of his criminal charges). Annie Fitzgerald calls in to discuss her campaign for State House in Washington's 38th District, Matthew from Oregon on the hypocrisy of Israel's rhetoric, and John Hagee reiterates Christian Theocrats' support for Israel.
