1. No Endless War or Ground Occupation Strong emphasis that this is not Iraq or Afghanistan: No large ground invasion No nation-building No long-term occupation Military strategy described as rapid, overwhelming, air-dominant action. Confidence that U.S. casualties will be minimal and duration short. 2. Military Action Against Iran Is Justified as Self-Defense The conflict is framed as a response to 47 years of Iranian aggression, including: Sponsorship of terrorism Killing nearly a thousand Americans Attempted assassinations of U.S. officials Iran is described as an irrational, theocratic death cult, making deterrence unreliable. Nuclear capability in Iran is portrayed as an existential threat to U.S. cities. 3. This Is “America First,” Not a War for Israel Repeated rejection of claims that the war is driven by Israel or Jewish influence. Such claims are labeled dishonest, antisemitic, and propaganda. The stated motivation: protecting American lives and national security. 4. Gas Prices Are a Short-Term Political Weapon Gas price increases are framed as temporary and expected due to Middle East conflict. Democrats are accused of exploiting gas prices the same way they previously focused on egg prices. The speaker argues prices are still lower than under Biden, despite rising from recent lows. Long-term expectation: Iran’s collapse would lower global gas prices. 5. Strong Leadership vs. Weak Appeasement Trump is decisive and feared by adversaries. Obama and Biden are criticized for appeasement and failed nuclear deals. Past diplomatic failures (North Korea, Iran nuclear deal) are cited as evidence diplomacy failed. 6. Harsh Criticism of Tucker Carlson and Isolationists Tucker Carlson is accused of: Spreading anti-American propaganda Echoing Islamist narratives Undermining U.S. troops His statements about unconditional surrender and nuclear escalation are called: False Dangerous Morally grotesque Isolationist conservatives are grouped with progressive Democrats as a shared threat to U.S. foreign policy. 7. Iranian Regime Change Is Seen as Necessary The appointment of a new Iranian leader (son of the former Ayatollah) is rejected. Any continuation of clerical Islamist rule is deemed unacceptable. Regime collapse is framed as the only path to lasting security. 8. Deterrence Fails with Religious Extremism Comparison between North Korea and Iran: North Korea: dangerous but rational Iran: irrational due to religious ideology Argument: Traditional nuclear deterrence does not work with actors who glorify martyrdom. 9. Public Opinion Depends on Duration and Casualties Acknowledgment that support would collapse if: War drags on for years U.S. casualties rise significantly Confidence expressed that this outcome is “near zero.” 10. Closing Shift to Religion and AI Ends with an unexpected, uplifting segment: An AI-generated Christian apologetic is quoted at length. The response argues Christianity is intellectually compelling, historically grounded, and uniquely truthful.

The excursion/war continues, and no one can explain why. This week, Paul Feig pours us a stiff one (or three) to talk erotic thrillers, political affairs, and Sydney Sweeney, while Monét X Change hits all the right notes chatting about Traitors, Drag Race, and Survivor. And before we end up under the table, we lay our cards on it, with a candid round of Second Thoughts.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, it's important that the peace mission against Iran continue until fully completed, without artificial timelines or pressure from weak voices. Currently two weeks in, the operation has devastated Iran's senior leadership, navy, air force, ground-to-air missiles, drone capabilities and ballistic missiles. Prematurely halting would abandon the Iranian people, preserve the ideological Islamist Nazi infrastructure, and signal weakness to adversaries like China and Russia. Without this current action, Iran would eventually acquire nuclear weapons and ICBMs capable of reaching the U.S. It's shocking how easily both the neo-fascist woke Reich and the Marxist left dismiss these nuclear risks. Also, Tucker Carlson lied about a conversation he had with Mark Levin. About 90% of his account was fabricated psychobabble. There's no reasoning with someone like this who's a useful idiot exploited by the left. Later, Democrats have defunded key agencies like the Secret Service, TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA during a shutdown. Democrats are deliberately inconveniencing TSA workers and travelers to pressure Republicans into destroying ICE and halting deportations, while protecting massive socialist programs, foreign aid, and unrestricted benefits instead. The Democrat Party as at war with American citizens, they abuse essential services and prioritizing political goals over public safety and fairness. Finally, Sen Lindsey Graham calls in and explains that the Iranian regime is a fanatical theocracy driven to dominate Islam, destroy Israel, and target infidels like America. They were nearing nuclear weapon capability with enough enriched uranium for 10 bombs and just weeks from weapons-grade material. Trump saved the world from Iranian nuclear blackmail, chaos, and destruction of Israel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
This week on the Mark Levin Show, the ISIS attack in New York carried out by two young immigrants is unfortunately only the beginning of such incidents. Iran has pre-positioned hit squads because of the Biden administration's open borders and Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Mayor Mamdani's response to this terrorism was appalling. Then, for the media, and now for most politicians, what's most important is not winning this war against Iran AND ensuring it's not replaced by another monstrous regime, but the price of gasoline on a daily basis. Of course, when phony climate change policies were being instituted and drove up the price of gasoline, oil, electricity, automobiles, etc., we didn't get a daily barrage of such reports. But now, we even get charts and other graphics showing us the day-to-day increase in gasoline. If this military campaign is ended prematurely, and the second phase of ensuring the institution of a civil government is not accomplished, chances are this entire effort will be for naught. The economic, geo-political, and national security gains, which have been immense, and the stated goal of liberating the Iranian people, which initiated this process, could become a disaster in every respect -- including political. The ruling class elitists in Europe and America betrayed their countries by refusing honest debate about uncontrolled immigration of Islamists. These elites encouraged and allowed overwhelming border surges, motivated partly by Islamist strategies to conquer the West. In the U.S., Democrats pursued open borders, try to defund enforcement like ICE to build a future voting base of illegal immigrants. Islamists will vote Democrat temporarily before ultimately destroying both parties and taking over, as seen in parts of Europe, NYC, and Dearborn. The NYC terrorist attack is an example: two young Muslim men, inspired by ISIS, attempted to bomb an anti-Islamist protest, shouting "Allahu Akbar" but the devices failed. Mainstream media and Democrats downplayed or obscured the Islamist terrorist motive, framing it vaguely as devices at an anti-Muslim rally, condemning Islamophobia instead, and avoiding the truth of a near-mass-casualty jihadist attack, which the speaker sees as part of a broader pattern of cover-up by media and elites who tolerate or support such threats. Later, the SAVE America act is a no brainer and Democrats desperately oppose it because they benefit from fraudulent practices enabled by big-city political machines. Sen Chuck Schumer acts like a modern George Wallace by insisting everyone should vote—not just legal voters—allowing illegal ballots, double voting, or votes for the deceased to neutralize legitimate votes. Much of this fraud is allegedly legalized, making proof difficult and necessitating stricter statutes like voter ID requirements. The United States is a nation at war with itself, dividing Americans into two sides: patriotic, red-blooded citizens who love their country on one side, and elected Democrats in Washington—along with their operatives, Marxists, Islamists, the woke Reich neo-fascists—on the other. The Democrat Party policies undermine national security and sovereignty, such as opening borders to unvetted illegal aliens for years, allowing dangerous individuals to remain in the country. There are escalating attacks targeting Jews and Jewish facilities, such as the attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in Michigan. Then there's the shooting at Old Dominion University by a gunman was previously convicted for ISIS support. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Today, we sit down with Lily Meschi, the director of partner relations at Iran Alive Ministries, to hear her testimony of coming to Christ after growing up Muslim and surviving an abusive, arranged marriage. She shares with us her story of how she came to Christ in the midst of that abusive marriage after a family friend shared the gospel with her. She tells us about what it's like to grow up Muslim in Iran in the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution and how women suffer under the oppressive regime. Despite everything standing in its way, Christianity is on the rise in Iran as more and more people grow disillusioned with Islam, and Lily tells us how Iran Alive is spreading the gospel to the people of Iran and giving them hope.

The Trump administration miscalculated how Iran would respond to this war. And the United States, Iran and Israel were brought to the brink of war in the first place because of a whole series of misjudgments and miscalculations going back decades. Ali Vaez is the Iran project director at the International Crisis Group. He was involved in the negotiations that led to the 2015 nuclear deal, and is in fact himself a nuclear scientist. He's also an author of “How Sanctions Work: Iran and the Impact of Economic Warfare.” In this conversation, Vaez explains how over 47 years the United States, Israel and Iran came to one another as threats, and why so many efforts to thaw relations failed. It's the briefing on Iran that Trump should have received before he decided to go to war.

Newt talks with Professor Steve Tsang, Director of the SOAS China Institute, about the global impact of the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, with a focus on China's perspective. Tsang discusses China's strategic interests in the Middle East, highlighting the region's importance for energy security and its role in China's global strategy under Xi Jinping's leadership. Xi Jinping's ambitions for China are highlighted, including his vision for Chinese global preeminence by 2049, which aligns with the 100th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. The strategic dynamics in the Middle East, particularly regarding Iran's role and the potential consequences of U.S. actions in the region are evaluated. They discuss the U.S. military focus on Iran and the Persian Gulf and whether the U.S. engagement will tip the balance of power around Taiwan, considering China's military readiness and strategic calculations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we engage in a candid conversation with Congressman Tim Burchett from Tennessee. Burchett shares his straightforward views on the urgent need for voter ID laws and the troubling state of government inefficiency. He expresses his frustration with the Senate's slow response to critical issues, including alarming findings about non-citizens voting and the necessity of protecting election integrity.Burchett highlights recent developments, such as a grand jury subpoena in Maricopa County and a raid in Fulton County, and emphasizes the importance of addressing voter fraud. He draws a compelling analogy between illegal voting and serious crimes, urging Americans to recognize the significance of every vote. The congressman believes that public pressure can lead to meaningful change in the Senate, and he discusses the misconceptions surrounding voter ID requirements.Additionally, Burchett reveals his plans to introduce legislation aimed at eliminating the capital gains tax on property sales, a move he believes will benefit retirees and stimulate the economy. He also addresses the challenges of navigating a Congress that often prioritizes bureaucracy over efficiency.Next, we explore the intriguing developments in California politics as Democrat Party chair Rusty Hicks calls for candidates unlikely to win to withdraw from the race. With midterm elections approaching, a petition for voter ID requirements has garnered significant support, potentially changing the political landscape in the state. Legal expert and conservative commentator Sam Mirejovsky joins John and Amanda to discuss the implications of these developments, including the possibility of a Republican victory in the governor's race and the impact of voter ID laws.Sam provides insights into the upcoming Supreme Court cases that could reshape electoral dynamics, including issues surrounding ballot counting, racial gerrymandering, and the representation of illegal immigrants in apportionment. He emphasizes the potential consequences for the Democratic Party if these cases are decided in favor of conservative positions.The conversation also touches on the recent actions of Democrats in Congress regarding Iran, revealing a surprising divide within the party on foreign policy. Sam critiques the Democratic stance and highlights the disconnect between party leaders and the American public's views on terrorism.Finally, Shannon Davis, CEO of American Alternative Assets, provides insights on navigating the current economic landscape. Shannon explains the limitations of the Social Security cost of living adjustments and how retirees are effectively losing ground financially. He shares valuable strategies for protecting retirement savings through tangible assets like gold and silver, which historically outperform traditional investments during times of market volatility.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
On Friday President Trump said the US had obliterated military targets on the Iranian oil hub island of Kharg and threatened to target the oil infrastructure there if Iran stopped ships going through the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran accused Washington of a failed mission and warned that any attacks on its energy facilities would lead to strikes on US-linked oil interests in the region. Also: People in the Gulf State of Qatar have been told to evacuate several areas that could be targeted by Iranian missiles; the Iranian-backed Palestinian militant group, Hamas, has urged Iran to stop attacking its Gulf neighbours; and the environmental cost of war on Iran as oil fires and toxic air spread.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

President Donald Trump says the United States has carried out strikes against military targets on Kharg island, Iran's main export terminal for oil in the Gulf. Writing on social media, he said he'd decided not to destroy the oil infrastructure on the island. US media report that amphibious ships carrying 2,000 Marines are being sent to the Gulf, but the Pentagon has declined to comment. There have been explosions in the capital Tehran, as thousands of Iranians took part in a rally in support of the regime. And in Lebanon the health ministry says an Israeli strike has hit a health centre in the south of the country. Also: Cuba confirms talks with Trump officials amid US blockade; how spider silk has been used to repair broken nerves; and a school videographer turned Oscar nominee who took great risks to smuggle footage out of Russia.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

President Trump suggests that the high price of oil—surging upward because of his war in Iran—is a good thing, because the United States makes "a lot of money." Jon and Dan discuss the President's unique affordability message, his claim that the war has already been won, and what Joe Rogan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Gen Z men are saying about Iran. Then, they check in on the GOP, including the party's mass deportation messaging "hiccup," the lengths some on the right are going to in order to pass the SAVE Act, and MAGA's full embrace of Islamophobia. Finally, they react to former DOGE staffers trying to explain DEI under oath, and to Marco Rubio allegedly lying about his shoe size to the President of the United States.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Go Thank an Oil Man Clay and Buck open by discussing breaking developments in Iran, including the condition of Mojtaba Khamenei—nicknamed “Little Mo”—who is reportedly in a coma and severely injured following U.S. airstrikes. The hosts analyze how the Iranian leadership is under unprecedented pressure as air campaigns continue to dismantle military assets and target key regime figures. They also address escalating attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, the resulting volatility in global oil prices, and how President Trump is responding with aggressive measures, including tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and coordinating releases of hundreds of millions of barrels internationally to stabilize markets. The conversation highlights the dramatic price swings of crude oil and examines how Iran is trying to weaponize oil shipping routes to trigger economic turmoil. The hosts then explore how American media outlets are selectively covering the surge in gas prices. Clay criticizes networks like CNN and MSNBC for ignoring declining fuel costs for more than a year but immediately amplifying short‑term price increases during the conflict. This flows into a broader media discussion about the differences between advertising‑driven outlets and subscription‑driven news models, with Clay noting that subscriber‑funded outlets—such as the New York Times—now cater to ideological expectations instead of broad audiences. Buck argues that Fox News at least acknowledges its editorial perspective, whereas CNN still pretends to be nonpartisan despite consistent ideological framing. Uncle Bill: "We'll Do It Live!" Clay and Buck welcome media icon Bill O’Reilly, who joins them to discuss his new long‑form interview program We’ll Do It Live! O’Reilly recounts the origins of the viral “We’ll do it live!” clip from his Inside Edition days and how it resurfaced years later as internet culture took off. After the lighthearted banter, the conversation shifts dramatically toward the unfolding Iran conflict. O’Reilly details the stakes of President Trump’s military campaign, emphasizing that U.S. strikes—coordinated with Israeli intelligence—have dismantled much of Iran’s offensive capability. He explains that the killing of top Iranian leadership and the crippling of Iran’s military infrastructure mark one of the most consequential U.S. operations in decades. But O’Reilly warns that global economic consequences, especially oil price volatility, remain the biggest wildcard, and that Trump’s political future hinges significantly on the success or failure of the campaign. The hosts ask O’Reilly what “victory” in Iran should look like, prompting him to outline a diplomatic off‑ramp: forcing Iran to abandon nuclear ambitions, curtail ballistic missile development, weaken the Revolutionary Guard, and end support for terrorism. He acknowledges that Iran often violates agreements but argues that overwhelming military pressure could eventually push the regime toward negotiation. O’Reilly also discusses the Save America Act and the Senate’s political obstacles, noting that although the bill won’t reach the 60 votes needed to advance, Democrats risk political backlash because voter‑ID requirements enjoy overwhelming national support. MO Sen. Eric Schmitt Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri joined the program to discuss the Save America Act and the Senate’s procedural fight over election integrity, voter ID requirements, mail in balloting limits, and protections for women’s sports. Schmitt explains how a talking filibuster could force Democrats to publicly defend their opposition and outlines the legislative mechanics needed to bring the bill to the Senate floor. He then addresses the Democrats’ refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security amid a surge in terror threats, arguing that their resistance to immigration enforcement and ICE operations has resulted in long TSA wait times, staffing shortages, and national security vulnerabilities just as Americans enter peak spring travel season. TX Sen. John Cornyn Senator John Cornyn of Texas discusses his May runoff against Ken Paxton and the potential impact of a Donald Trump endorsement in the race. Cornyn defends his record as a Trump aligned conservative, noting that he has voted with Trump more than 99 percent of the time and has played major roles in passing tax cuts, confirming Supreme Court justices, and securing federal reimbursement for Texas border security operations. He explains his evolving stance on the filibuster, arguing that the Save America Act is critical enough to justify a talking filibuster exception due to Democrats’ pattern of blocking legislation tied to national security and voter integrity. Cornyn also contrasts his electability with Paxton’s, asserting that he is the stronger candidate to defeat the Democrats’ far left challenger and to protect down ballot Republican seats in Texas.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Saagar Enjeti, co-host, "Breaking Points," to discuss the facts about America's war in Iran two weeks into the conflict, the mixed messages we're seeing from the Trump administration and others, major strategic questions about what the actual endgame is in the region, the massive financial impact the Iran war is having on the American people, why surging diesel prices will drive up food costs across the country, the financial and political ramifications if the war goes on months, the importance of getting to the truth about why America attacked Iran, the growing risks of escalation as the conflict continues, what could happen next if the situation spirals beyond the initial strikes, how President Trump's success with last year's strikes on Iran and the Venezuela mission may have influenced his decision to go to war with Iran, why some advisers believed another rapid victory was possible, growing debate inside the Republican Party about the war, and more. Then Isabel Brown, host "The Isabel Brown Show," and Brianna Lyman, host, "Countdown to Freedom," join to discuss the absurd dramatic poem actor John Lithgow delivered to Stephen Colbert, the broader decline of late night comedy, Colbert's long ridiculous goodbye tour, why the GOP should be concerned about Texas Democrat James Talarico potentially winning the Senate seat, how he uses Christian messaging to frame progressive policies, his insane past comments that are coming to light, a disturbing NY Mag article featuring women talking about why they regret having children, the complaints about how motherhood affects career and finances, the broader cultural shift away from family-centered values, Meghan Markle's ridiculous retreat, and more.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the United States is a nation at war with itself, dividing Americans into two sides: patriotic, red-blooded citizens who love their country on one side, and elected Democrats in Washington—along with their operatives, Marxists, Islamists, the woke Reich neo-fascists—on the other. The Democrat Party policies undermine national security and sovereignty, such as opening borders to unvetted illegal aliens for years, allowing dangerous individuals to remain in the country. This includes reluctance to deport, willingness to undermine protective agencies like the Coast Guard and TSA during heightened threats, and overall betrayal. Also, certain phony influencers, along with elements of the Democratic Party, are spreading antisemitism, embracing overseas enemies, inciting violence against Jews and Christians and providing aid and comfort to adversaries during wartime. There are escalating attacks targeting Jews and Jewish facilities, such as the attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in Michigan. Then there's the shooting at Old Dominion University by a gunman was previously convicted for ISIS support. Later, the media is foolish for suggesting Iran needs to activate sleeper cells, as Islamist operatives are already brainwashed, self-motivated, and perpetually poised to act without any central call. These threats extend beyond Jews, as evidenced by 9/11, and more violence is inevitable, putting everyone at risk. Additionally, Iran's regime is deliberately attempting to block the Strait of Hormuz to drive up oil prices, aiming to generate global pressure on President Trump. The media and foreign actors are hypocritically amplifying complaints about rising oil costs—despite previously ignoring high prices under climate change agendas—while propagandists in the press aid the enemy and push for concessions to preserve this homicidal, genocidal regime. Finally, James Rosen calls in to discuss his book - Scalia: Supreme Court Years, 1986 to 2001. He explains that Scalia was one of the important Americans of the last 100 years.

The war with Iran has already killed more than a thousand Iranians, including 175 people killed at an elementary school on February 28th. Remember America First? That swath of the MAGA movement that purportedly wanted to stay out of foreign entanglements and wars to focus on problems that Americans were facing right here at home? Today, the same GOP that called Kamala Harris a warmonger is giving the war with Iran two thumbs up. And while some notable anti-war figures on the right have been speaking out against the conflict, Trump and the Republican Party are full speed ahead despite struggling to justify their actions. Tommy Vietor, co-host of Crooked Media's Pod Save the World and former spokesperson for the National Security Council in the Obama administration, joins to discuss the American First presidency that isn't.And in headlines, the Senate passes a housing bill with overwhelming bipartisan support but House GOP members are unlikely to get on board, Department of Homeland Security funding talks continue to stall, and the White House is keeping busy posting tasteless memes about the war.Show Notes: Check out Pod Save The World – https://tinyurl.com/4n6y99mu Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
Venezuela. Greenland. Iran. Things have been moving so quickly that we weren't even at war with Iran when we recorded this episode of The Gray Area with Sean Illing. It's only March, but it's been a long year. The war in Iran is only the latest sign that something deep is shifting in our global politics. Alliances fraying. Norms weakening. Democracies wobbling. So what exactly is happening? Is the liberal international order slowly eroding? Is it just going through a particularly turbulent chapter? Or are we watching it all collapse? Sean talks with Zack Beauchamp, author of Vox's On the Right newsletter, about the global democratic backslide and whether the American-led liberal order is slipping, imploding, or just going through a rough patch. Their conversation, which was recorded before the conflict in Iran, digs into the Greenland saga, alliance politics, and why democratic decay can be both obvious and hard to see at the same time.

On this week's On the Media, the far-reaching implications of the Department of Defense's scrapping of an initiative to protect civilians. Plus, how different corners of the MAGA-verse are metabolizing the Epstein files. [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone interviews Wes J. Bryant, a former senior policy advisor at the Pentagon and retired Air Force Master Sergeant, about the civilian protection initiative he was working on for the Department of Defense and the deadly consequences of Secretary Hegseth's decisions to close it down. [31:28] Host Micah Loewinger sits down with David Gilbert, a reporter at WIRED covering disinformation and online extremism, to explore how different segments of the right are reacting to the Epstein files, from far-right commentators like Nick Fuentes to Fox News to Qanon conspiracists.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack another dizzying week inside Donald Trump's orbit, from the strange logic behind his Iran strike to the growing MAGA backlash that's rattling the White House. As Trump pushes a controversial voting law he believes could secure victory in November, Wolff explains the “reality distortion” at the center of Trump's decision-making—and why the former president still assumes he'll get exactly what he wants. Meanwhile, tensions explode inside Trump's own coalition over war, immigration crackdowns spark political panic among Republicans, and an unexpected primary battle becomes a test of Trump's grip on the MAGA base. Plus, a rare Melania sighting, Wolff's unfolding lawsuit drama, and the theory that Trump's latest moves may be about distracting from the Epstein files. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Trump administration is preparing to deploy a Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East along with more warships. But that development was not Hegseth's highest priority at his Pentagon briefing. His first order of business was attacking the media—even before mentioning the six fallen service members who were killed in a plane crash supporting the war in Iran. And while the administration may have finally narrowed down its reasons for launching the war alongside Israel, it hasn't discussed the risks of the operation, or why it doesn't seem to have an issue with Putin helping Iran in the fight.
