Podcasts about Iran

Jon Herold and Chris Paul team up for Episode 379 of Devolution Power Hour to dissect the rapidly shifting narratives leading into the 2024 election. They explore the push to frame foreign cyber threats, particularly from Iran, as a looming danger, questioning whether these warnings are genuine or part of a preemptive excuse for election irregularities. The hosts connect this to a long history of media and intelligence collaboration in manufacturing consent, from RussiaGate to today's IranGate storyline. They also dig into recent developments in state-level election law battles, the weaponization of “fact-checking,” and the role of controlled leaks in steering public opinion. With their signature mix of deep research, pointed commentary, and a touch of humor, Jon and Chris pull apart the layers of psychological operations at play. This episode offers listeners a clear, critical lens on how narratives are built, sold, and reinforced in the lead-up to one of the most consequential elections in American history.

Captain Amiri's investigation dismantles the old network as Marcus builds a new one. Over three years, weapons and operatives are smuggled into Iran piece by piece, establishing drone bases and operational capabilities for the ultimate mission. David Mizrahi, a young Israeli-Iranian double agent, penetrates Tehran society while struggling with gambling addiction and the psychological cost of betraying people who trust him.As the Persian Carpet network grows, so does Iranian paranoia about foreign infiltration. When Amiri's investigation finally exposes the network, Iran accelerates nuclear development in response to perceived threats. The infrastructure designed to prevent nuclear war becomes the catalyst for the very conflict it was meant to avoid. Some networks exist only to consume themselves.To become a premium subscriber (no ads and no feed drops) visit caloroga.com/plus.   For Apple users, hit the banner on your Apple podcasts app which seays UNINTERRUPTED LISTENING.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-from-crisis-to-advantage-how-india-can-outplay-the-trump-tariff-gambit-13923031.htmlA simple summary of the recent brouhaha about President Trump's imposition of 25% tariffs on India as well as his comment on India's ‘dead economy' is the following from Shakespeare's Macbeth: “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”. Trump further imposed punitive tariffs totalling 50% on August 6th allegedly for India funding Russia's war machine via buying oil.As any negotiator knows, a good opening gambit is intended to set the stage for further parleys, so that you could arrive at a negotiated settlement that is acceptable to both parties. The opening gambit could well be a maximalist statement, or one's ‘dream outcome', the opposite of which is ‘the walkway point' beyond which you are simply not willing to make concessions. The usual outcome is somewhere in between these two positions or postures.Trump is both a tough negotiator, and prone to making broad statements from which he has no problem retreating later. It's down-and-dirty boardroom tactics that he's bringing to international trade. Therefore I think Indians don't need to get rattled. It's not the end of the world, and there will be climbdowns and adjustments. Think hard about the long term.I was on a panel discussion on this topic on TV just hours after Trump made his initial 25% announcement, and I mentioned an interplay between geo-politics and geo-economics. Trump is annoyed that his Ukraine-Russia play is not making much headway, and also that BRICS is making progress towards de-dollarization. India is caught in this crossfire (‘collateral damage') but the geo-economic facts on the ground are not favorable to Trump.I am in general agreement with Trump on his objectives of bringing manufacturing and investment back to the US, but I am not sure that he will succeed, and anyway his strong-arm tactics may backfire. I consider below what India should be prepared to do to turn adversity into opportunity.The anti-Thucydides Trap and the baleful influence of Whitehall on Deep StateWhat is remarkable, though, is that Trump 2.0 seems to be indistinguishable from the Deep State: I wondered last month if the Deep State had ‘turned' Trump. The main reason many people supported Trump in the first place was the damage the Deep State was wreaking on the US under the Obama-Biden regime. But it appears that the resourceful Deep State has now co-opted Trump for its agenda, and I can only speculate how.The net result is that there is the anti-Thucydides Trap: here is the incumbent power, the US, actively supporting the insurgent power, China, instead of suppressing it, as Graham Allison suggested as the historical pattern. It, in all fairness, did not start with Trump, but with Nixon in China in 1971. In 1985, the US trade deficit with China was $6 million. In 1986, $1.78 billion. In 1995, $35 billion.But it ballooned after China entered the WTO in 2001. $202 billion in 2005; $386 billion in 2022.In 2025, after threatening China with 150% tariffs, Trump retreated by postponing them; besides he has caved in to Chinese demands for Nvidia chips and for exemptions from Iran oil sanctions if I am not mistaken.All this can be explained by one word: leverage. China lured the US with the siren-song of the cost-leader ‘China price', tempting CEOs and Wall Street, who sleepwalked into surrender to the heft of the Chinese supply chain.Now China has cornered Trump via its monopoly over various things, the most obvious of which is rare earths. Trump really has no option but to give in to Chinese blackmail. That must make him furious: in addition to his inability to get Putin to listen to him, Xi is also ignoring him. Therefore, he will take out his frustrations on others, such as India, the EU, Japan, etc. Never mind that he's burning bridges with them.There's a Malayalam proverb that's relevant here: “angadiyil thottathinu ammayodu”. Meaning, you were humiliated in the marketplace, so you come home and take it out on your mother. This is quite likely what Trump is doing, because he believes India et al will not retaliate. In fact Japan and the EU did not retaliate, but gave in, also promising to invest large sums in the US. India could consider a different path: not active conflict, but not giving in either, because its equations with the US are different from those of the EU or Japan.Even the normally docile Japanese are beginning to notice.Beyond that, I suggested a couple of years ago that Deep State has a plan to enter into a condominium agreement with China, so that China gets Asia, and the US gets the Americas and the Pacific/Atlantic. This is exactly like the Vatican-brokered medieval division of the world between Spain and Portugal, and it probably will be equally bad for everyone else. And incidentally it makes the Quad infructuous, and deepens distrust of American motives.The Chinese are sure that they have achieved the condominium, or rather forced the Americans into it. Here is a headline from the Financial Express about their reaction to the tariffs: they are delighted that the principal obstacle in their quest for hegemony, a US-India military and economic alliance, is being blown up by Trump, and they lose no opportunity to deride India as not quite up to the mark, whereas they and the US have achieved a G2 detente.Two birds with one stone: gloat about the breakdown in the US-India relationship, and exhibit their racist disdain for India yet again.They laugh, but I bet India can do an end-run around them. As noted above, the G2 is a lot like the division of the world into Spanish and Portuguese spheres of influence in 1494. Well, that didn't end too well for either of them. They had their empires, which they looted for gold and slaves, but it made them fat, dumb and happy. The Dutch, English, and French capitalized on more dynamic economies, flexible colonial systems, and aggressive competition, overtaking the Iberian powers in global influence by the 17th century. This is a salutary historical parallel.I have long suspected that the US Deep State is being led by the nose by the malign Whitehall (the British Deep State): I call it the ‘master-blaster' syndrome. On August 6th, there was indirect confirmation of this in ex-British PM Boris Johnson's tweet about India. Let us remember he single-handedly ruined the chances of a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine War in 2022. Whitehall's mischief and meddling all over, if you read between the lines.Did I mention the British Special Force's views? Ah, Whitehall is getting a bit sloppy in its propaganda.Wait, so is India important (according to Whitehall) or unimportant (according to Trump)?Since I am very pro-American, I have a word of warning to Trump: you trust perfidious Albion at your peril. Their country is ruined, and they will not rest until they ruin yours too.I also wonder if there are British paw-prints in a recent and sudden spate of racist attacks on Indians in Ireland. A 6-year old girl was assaulted and kicked in the private parts. A nurse was gang-raped by a bunch of teenagers. Ireland has never been so racist against Indians (yes, I do remember the sad case of Savita Halappanavar, but that was religious bigotry more than racism). And I remember sudden spikes in anti-Indian attacks in Australia and Canada, both British vassals.There is no point in Indians whining about how the EU and America itself are buying more oil, palladium, rare earths, uranium etc. from Russia than India is. I am sorry to say this, but Western nations are known for hypocrisy. For example, exactly 80 years ago they dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, but not on Germany or Italy. Why? The answer is uncomfortable. Lovely post-facto rationalization, isn't it?Remember the late lamented British East India Company that raped and pillaged India?Applying the three winning strategies to geo-economicsAs a professor of business strategy and innovation, I emphasize to my students that there are three broad ways of gaining an advantage over others: 1. Be the cost leader, 2. Be the most customer-intimate player, 3. Innovate. The US as a nation is patently not playing the cost leader; it does have some customer intimacy, but it is shrinking; its strength is in innovation.If you look at comparative advantage, the US at one time had strengths in all three of the above. Because it had the scale of a large market (and its most obvious competitors in Europe were decimated by world wars) America did enjoy an ability to be cost-competitive, especially as the dollar is the global default reserve currency. It demonstrated this by pushing through the Plaza Accords, forcing the Japanese yen to appreciate, destroying their cost advantage.In terms of customer intimacy, the US is losing its edge. Take cars for example: Americans practically invented them, and dominated the business, but they are in headlong retreat now because they simply don't make cars that people want outside the US: Japanese, Koreans, Germans and now Chinese do. Why were Ford and GM forced to leave the India market? Their “world cars” are no good in value-conscious India and other emerging markets.Innovation, yes, has been an American strength. Iconic Americans like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs led the way in product and process innovation. US universities have produced idea after idea, and startups have ignited Silicon Valley. In fact Big Tech and aerospace/armaments are the biggest areas where the US leads these days.The armaments and aerospace tradeThat is pertinent because of two reasons: one is Trump's peevishness at India's purchase of weapons from Russia (even though that has come down from 70+% of imports to 36% according to SIPRI); two is the fact that there are significant services and intangible imports by India from the US, of for instance Big Tech services, even some routed through third countries like Ireland.Armaments and aerospace purchases from the US by India have gone up a lot: for example the Apache helicopters that arrived recently, the GE 404 engines ordered for India's indigenous fighter aircraft, Predator drones and P8-i Poseidon maritime surveillance aircraft. I suspect Trump is intent on pushing India to buy F-35s, the $110-million dollar 5th generation fighters.Unfortunately, the F-35 has a spotty track record. There were two crashes recently, one in Albuquerque in May, and the other on July 31 in Fresno, and that's $220 million dollars gone. Besides, the spectacle of a hapless British-owned F-35B sitting, forlorn, in the rain, in Trivandrum airport for weeks, lent itself to trolls, who made it the butt of jokes. I suspect India has firmly rebuffed Trump on this front, which has led to his focus on Russian arms.There might be other pushbacks too. Personally, I think India does need more P-8i submarine hunter-killer aircraft to patrol the Bay of Bengal, but India is exerting its buyer power. There are rumors of pauses in orders for Javelin and Stryker missiles as well.On the civilian aerospace front, I am astonished that all the media stories about Air India 171 and the suspicion that Boeing and/or General Electric are at fault have disappeared without a trace. Why? There had been the big narrative push to blame the poor pilots, and now that there is more than reasonable doubt that these US MNCs are to blame, there is a media blackout?Allegations about poor manufacturing practices by Boeing in North Charleston, South Carolina by whistleblowers have been damaging for the company's brand: this is where the 787 Dreamliners are put together. It would not be surprising if there is a slew of cancellations of orders for Boeing aircraft, with customers moving to Airbus. Let us note Air India and Indigo have placed some very large, multi-billion dollar orders with Boeing that may be in jeopardy.India as a consuming economy, and the services trade is hugely in the US' favorMany observers have pointed out the obvious fact that India is not an export-oriented economy, unlike, say, Japan or China. It is more of a consuming economy with a large, growing and increasingly less frugal population, and therefore it is a target for exporters rather than a competitor for exporting countries. As such, the impact of these US tariffs on India will be somewhat muted, and there are alternative destinations for India's exports, if need be.While Trump has focused on merchandise trade and India's modest surplus there, it is likely that there is a massive services trade, which is in the US' favor. All those Big Tech firms, such as Microsoft, Meta, Google and so on run a surplus in the US' favor, which may not be immediately evident because they route their sales through third countries, e.g. Ireland.These are the figures from the US Trade Representative, and quite frankly I don't believe them: there are a lot of invisible services being sold to India, and the value of Indian data is ignored.In addition to the financial implications, there are national security concerns. Take the case of Microsoft's cloud offering, Azure, which arbitrarily turned off services to Indian oil retailer Nayara on the flimsy grounds that the latter had substantial investment from Russia's Rosneft. This is an example of jurisdictional over-reach by US companies, which has dire consequences. India has been lax about controlling Big Tech, and this has to change.India is Meta's largest customer base. Whatsapp is used for practically everything. Which means that Meta has access to enormous amounts of Indian customer data, for which India is not even enforcing local storage. This is true of all other Big Tech (see OpenAI's Sam Altman below): they are playing fast and loose with Indian data, which is not in India's interest at all.Data is the new oil, says The Economist magazine. So how much should Meta, OpenAI et al be paying for Indian data? Meta is worth trillions of dollars, OpenAI half a trillion. How much of that can be attributed to Indian data?There is at least one example of how India too can play the digital game: UPI. Despite ham-handed efforts to now handicap UPI with a fee (thank you, brilliant government bureaucrats, yes, go ahead and kill the goose that lays the golden eggs), it has become a contender in a field that has long been dominated by the American duopoly of Visa and Mastercard. In other words, India can scale up and compete.It is unfortunate that India has not built up its own Big Tech behind a firewall as has been done behind the Great Firewall of China. But it is not too late. Is it possible for India-based cloud service providers to replace US Big Tech like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure? Yes, there is at least one player in that market: Zoho.Second, what are the tariffs on Big Tech exports to India these days? What if India were to decide to impose a 50% tax on revenue generated in India through advertisement or through sales of services, mirroring the US's punitive taxes on Indian goods exports? Let me hasten to add that I am not suggesting this, it is merely a hypothetical argument.There could also be non-tariff barriers as China has implemented, but not India: data locality laws, forced use of local partners, data privacy laws like the EU's GDPR, anti-monopoly laws like the EU's Digital Markets Act, strict application of IPR laws like 3(k) that absolutely prohibits the patenting of software, and so on. India too can play legalistic games. This is a reason US agri-products do not pass muster: genetically modified seeds, and milk from cows fed with cattle feed from blood, offal and ground-up body parts.Similarly, in the ‘information' industry, India is likely to become the largest English-reading country in the world. I keep getting come-hither emails from the New York Times offering me $1 a month deals on their product: they want Indian customers. There are all these American media companies present in India, untrammelled by content controls or taxes. What if India were to give a choice to Bloomberg, Reuters, NYTimes, WaPo, NPR et al: 50% tax, or exit?This attack on peddlers of fake information and manufacturing consent I do suggest, and I have been suggesting for years. It would make no difference whatsoever to India if these media outlets were ejected, and they surely could cover India (well, basically what they do is to demean India) just as well from abroad. Out with them: good riddance to bad rubbish.What India needs to doI believe India needs to play the long game. It has to use its shatrubodha to realize that the US is not its enemy: in Chanakyan terms, the US is the Far Emperor. The enemy is China, or more precisely the Chinese Empire. Han China is just a rump on their south-eastern coast, but it is their conquered (and restive) colonies such as Tibet, Xinjiang, Manchuria and Inner Mongolia, that give them their current heft.But the historical trends are against China. It has in the past had stable governments for long periods, based on strong (and brutal) imperial power. Then comes the inevitable collapse, when the center falls apart, and there is absolute chaos. It is quite possible, given various trends, including demographic changes, that this may happen to China by 2050.On the other hand, (mostly thanks, I acknowledge, to China's manufacturing growth), the center of gravity of the world economy has been steadily shifting towards Asia. The momentum might swing towards India if China stumbles, but in any case the era of Atlantic dominance is probably gone for good. That was, of course, only a historical anomaly. Asia has always dominated: see Angus Maddison's magisterial history of the world economy, referred to below as well.I am reminded of the old story of the king berating his court poet for calling him “the new moon” and the emperor “the full moon”. The poet escaped being punished by pointing out that the new moon is waxing and the full moon is waning.This is the long game India has to keep in mind. Things are coming together for India to a great extent: in particular the demographic dividend, improved infrastructure, fiscal prudence, and the increasing centrality of the Indian Ocean as the locus of trade and commerce.India can attempt to gain competitive advantage in all three ways outlined above:* Cost-leadership. With a large market (assuming companies are willing to invest at scale), a low-cost labor force, and with a proven track-record of frugal innovation, India could well aim to be a cost-leader in selected areas of manufacturing. But this requires government intervention in loosening monetary policy and in reducing barriers to ease of doing business* Customer-intimacy. What works in highly value-conscious India could well work in other developing countries. For instance, the economic environment in ASEAN is largely similar to India's, and so Indian products should appeal to their residents; similarly with East Africa. Thus the Indian Ocean Rim with its huge (and in Africa's case, rapidly growing) population should be a natural fit for Indian products* Innovation. This is the hardest part, and it requires a new mindset in education and industry, to take risks and work at the bleeding edge of technology. In general, Indians have been content to replicate others' innovations at lower cost or do jugaad (which cannot scale up). To do real, disruptive innovation, first of all the services mindset should transition to a product mindset (sorry, Raghuram Rajan). Second, the quality of human capital must be improved. Third, there should be patient risk capital. Fourth, there should be entrepreneurs willing to try risky things. All of these are difficult, but doable.And what is the end point of this game? Leverage. The ability to compel others to buy from you.China has demonstrated this through its skill at being a cost-leader in industry after industry, often hollowing out entire nations through means both fair and foul. These means include far-sighted industrial policy including the acquisition of skills, technology, and raw materials, as well as hidden subsidies that support massive scaling, which ends up driving competing firms elsewhere out of business. India can learn a few lessons from them. One possible lesson is building capabilities, as David Teece of UC Berkeley suggested in 1997, that can span multiple products, sectors and even industries: the classic example is that of Nikon, whose optics strength helps it span industries such as photography, printing, and photolithography for chip manufacturing. Here is an interesting snapshot of China's capabilities today.2025 is, in a sense, a point of inflection for India just as the crisis in 1991 was. India had been content to plod along at the Nehruvian Rate of Growth of 2-3%, believing this was all it could achieve, as a ‘wounded civilization'. From that to a 6-7% growth rate is a leap, but it is not enough, nor is it testing the boundaries of what India can accomplish.1991 was the crisis that turned into an opportunity by accident. 2025 is a crisis that can be carefully and thoughtfully turned into an opportunity.The Idi Amin syndrome and the 1000 Talents program with AIThere is a key area where an American error may well be a windfall for India. This is based on the currently fashionable H1-B bashing which is really a race-bashing of Indians, and which has been taken up with gusto by certain MAGA folks. Once again, I suspect the baleful influence of Whitehall behind it, but whatever the reason, it looks like Indians are going to have a hard time settling down in the US.There are over a million Indians on H1-Bs, a large number of them software engineers, let us assume for convenience there are 250,000 of them. Given country caps of exactly 9800 a year, they have no realistic chance of getting a Green Card in the near future, and given the increasingly fraught nature of life there for brown people, they may leave the US, and possibly return to India..I call this the Idi Amin syndrome. In 1972, the dictator of Uganda went on a rampage against Indian-origin people in his country, and forcibly expelled 80,000 of them, because they were dominating the economy. There were unintended consequences: those who were ejected mostly went to the US and UK, and they have in many cases done well. But Uganda's economy virtually collapsed.That's a salutary experience. I am by no means saying that the US economy would collapse, but am pointing to the resilience of the Indians who were expelled. If, similarly, Trump forces a large number of Indians to return to India, that might well be a case of short-term pain and long-term gain: urvashi-shapam upakaram, as in the Malayalam phrase.Their return would be akin to what happened in China and Taiwan with their successful effort to attract their diaspora back. The Chinese program was called 1000 Talents, and they scoured the globe for academics and researchers of Chinese origin, and brought them back with attractive incentives and large budgets. They had a major role in energizing the Chinese economy.Similarly, Taiwan with Hsinchu University attracted high-quality talent, among which was the founder of TSMC, the globally dominant chip giant.And here is Trump offering to India on a platter at least 100,000 software engineers, especially at a time when generativeAI is decimating low-end jobs everywhere. They can work on some very compelling projects that could revolutionize Indian education, up-skilling and so on, and I am not at liberty to discuss them. Suffice to say that these could turbo-charge the Indian software industry and get it away from mundane, routine body-shopping type jobs.ConclusionThe Trump tariff tantrum is definitely a short-term problem for India, but it can be turned around, and turned into an opportunity, if only the country plays its cards right and focuses on building long-term comparative advantages and accepting the gift of a mis-step by Trump in geo-economics.In geo-politics, India and the US need each other to contain China, and so that part, being so obvious, will be taken care of more or less by default.Thus, overall, the old SWOT analysis: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. On balance, I am of the opinion that the threats contain in them the germs of opportunities. It is up to Indians to figure out how to take advantage of them.

Misschien ben jij ook volledig het overzicht kwijt als het gaat om Israël, Hamas en de verschrikkingen in Gaza. De propaganda vliegt je om de oren – wat kun je nog geloven? En de wereld vraagt zich steeds meer af: waar is Israël in hemelsnaam mee bezig? Het land komt ook steeds meer alleen te staan. Frankrijk en het Verenigd Koninkrijk willen de Palestijnse staat erkennen, net als het CDA hier in Nederland. Zien we een grote verschuiving? Wat is er allemaal gaande? Wij kennen niemand aan wie we dat beter kunnen vragen dan Jan van Benthem, historicus en buitenlandcommentator van het Nederlands Dagblad. Hij volgt dit conflict al jaren, heeft contacten aan beide zijden en sprak zelfs eens onvrijwillig met Hamas, vertelde hij vorige keer. We hebben veel vragen om te stellen, en David Boogerd doet dat uiteraard samen met vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:    First—Iran executes one of its own nuclear scientists over allegations of espionage on behalf of Israel, as the Islamic regime intensifies its internal purge of suspected infiltrators following the recent 12-Day War. Later in the show—the Associated Press is facing widespread backlash after running a highly sympathetic story about Hezbollah terrorists injured in last year's Israeli pager attack, saying they "struggle to recover." Plus—a Ukrainian NGO sounds the alarm on Russia's mass abduction of Ukrainian children, alleging the Putin regime is engaged in systematic child trafficking. In our 'Back of the Brief—a recent report is shedding light on how Hamas terrorists are using a secret stockpile of cash, along with looted humanitarian aid meant for starving Palestinians, to keep their fighters and local loyalists paid.

Netanyahu's latest move isn't subtle. He wants Israel to take full control of the Gaza Strip — dismantle Hamas, free hostages, and install a non-Hamas civilian government. On paper, it sounds like a decisive endgame. In practice, it's a minefield. The UN, the UK, and even some of Israel's own military leaders are warning this could be catastrophic, both humanitarian and legal. We're talking about tens of thousands of troops pushing into Gaza City, uprooting a million residents to the south, and expanding a controversial aid network that's already replacing the UN in distribution.I can't say I'm shocked. From the moment October 7th happened, this was always one of the plausible end states — Hamas removed from power entirely. What I didn't anticipate was Iran's weakened state factoring into the timing, or the fact that Israel might see that as a green light to act more aggressively. The trouble is, any operation that moves into the areas where hostages are held risks killing them outright. That's going to split Israel politically, because it forces a brutal question: if you were willing to risk their deaths now, why didn't you do it immediately after the attack?And that's before you even get to the problem of what comes after. Hamas leaders can't make a deal and then just go live quietly in Gaza. They'd have to leave. But where? You don't walk away from martyrdom rhetoric on Monday and spend Tuesday at Mario World in Orlando. Gaza under Hamas isn't just a state — it's a criminal syndicate, and that makes any negotiated exit almost impossible. Which means, if this plan goes forward, it's going to be bloody, messy, and controversial from the start.Trump's Putin PlayTrump's continuing to signal he'll meet with Putin “very soon,” possibly in the UAE. Early talk was that Zelensky would be part of a three-way summit, but Trump has apparently dropped that stipulation. Predictably, the Kremlin is treating this like a win, while critics warn it could legitimize Russia's aggression and undermine NATO. That's the Beltway framing.From what I'm hearing, it's not that simple. Trump has actually been harder on Putin lately than some people realize — moving nuclear subs into range, green-lighting sanctions, and generally signaling that he's done being strung along. This isn't 2018 Helsinki. It might be Trump testing whether Putin will only make a deal after feeling genuine pressure.None of this means a breakthrough is coming. It probably isn't. But it does mean Trump wants to own the narrative — that he's the guy who ends wars through direct negotiation. And until Ukraine or Gaza is resolved, his foreign policy record will feel incomplete. I think he knows that, and I think that's why this meeting's on the table at all.FBI Assisting in Locating Texas DemsIn Texas, the Democratic walkout drama is back, with Senator John Cornyn confirming the FBI is helping locate them. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is playing host, calling the state's collection of Democrats “refugees,” which is absurd. They're not refugees. They're political props in his own long-term campaign plans.Here's the thing — if you believe in what you're doing, you should want to get arrested. That would make this story bigger, not smaller. It's the most potent form of protest they've got. Instead, they're hiding out in hotels, funded by Beto O'Rourke's PAC, doing nothing to energize the very voters they're supposedly defending.They could be knocking on doors in the districts that are about to be carved up, rallying people who are about to lose representation. If they got dragged back to Austin by Texas Rangers in the middle of that, it'd be front-page news. Instead, we've got photo ops in Chicago. It's the same mistake they made in 2021 — swapping a real fight for a symbolic one, and then acting surprised when nothing changes.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:48 - Interview with Michael Cohen and Tom Merritt00:21:29 - Update00:21:57 - Gaza00:29:30 - Trump and Putin00:32:41 - Texas Dems00:36:07 - Interview with Michael Cohen and Tom Merritt (con't)01:01:12 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

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

We had Nick on last year, and all of his predictions about Trump, Israel, and the MAGA movement came true exactly as he said. He knew Trump was going to turn on the base, he knew Israel would be running the country from the shadows, and he even knew we would get into war with Iran. In this throwback episode, was Nick right about everything?!Become a Member and Give Us Some DAMN GOOD Support :https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX8lCshQmMN0dUc0JmQYDdg/joinGet your Twins merch and have a chance to win our Ford F-250 King Ranch, Ember Camper & 10K in cash! - https://officialhodgetwins.com/Get Optimal Human, your all in one daily nutritional supplement - https://optimalhuman.com/Want to be a guest on the Twins Pod?

Join us today on our supernatural Friday Podcast as we share a testimony of a young Iranian man who finds the Lord on his own in Iran and is later stabbed for sharing the gospel.  The rest of the story is what will amaze you, so listen in and be blessed.   

Israel's Security Cabinet approved a plan on Friday to take control of Gaza City. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement that the Israeli military "will prepare to take control of Gaza City while providing humanitarian aid to the civilian population outside the combat zones." Israel's cabinet is expected to endorse the Gaza City plan.President Donald Trump will host a signing ceremony at the White House on Friday for a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The two nations have engaged in cross-border conflicts since the late 1980s. Trump will also sign bilateral economic agreements with the two countries. He says the agreements will fully unlock the South Caucasus's potential. The energy-rich region neighbors Turkey, Georgia, Iran, and Russia.

JBS Journalist Micah Halpern considers whether the world can ever view Israel positively again, even as he argues that Israel's fight against Hamas and Iran makes the world safer—this and more on this episode of "Thinking Out Loud" on JBS.

Historian Andrew Roberts is joined by former U.S. Secretary of State and current Director of the Hoover Institution Condoleezza Rice for a dive deep into today's international hotspots—including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, rising tensions with China over Taiwan, and the complex relationships between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Their discussion also covers how leaders draw lessons from history, what might tip the world into a new Cold War, and how nations might address these evolving challenges. Director Rice also gives her thoughts on the rapid rise of artificial intelligence— which includes her recommended read, The Worlds I See by Fei-Fei Li, the Founding Co-Director of Stanford's Human-Centered AI Institute.

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week's show. Her first guest, Shir Hever, explains what he describes as Israelis “zombie economy”, and its media establishment that isn't telling Israelis the truth about the genocide being perpetrated in nearby Gaza. Then Margaret Flowers returns to the program to discuss the astonishing death toll exacted by US/EU economic warfare against nations they deem hostile, from Venezuela to Iran. A recent study published in the Lancet medical journal estimated that these unilateral “sanctions” have claimed more than 500,000 lives worldwide each year, from malnutrition, increased infant mortality, unobtainable medical care, and other causes. Music-break information: “No Rest for the Weary” by the Blue Scholars   The News That Didn't Make the News.

It has been just over a year since I last chatted with comedian and writer Tadhg Hickey here on the podcast. But since then, things have really moved up a gear for Tadhg, some of it good and some not so good. Tadhg has been a very vocal critic of Israel's war on Gaza and a staunch supporter of Palestine, and his online videos and comedy sketches about the issue have always been popular. But over the past year his profile has grown significantly and, as well as winning new supporters, he has been attracting new critics. Why? Because, as he describes, he has ‘become dangerous'.So I asked Tadhg to join me again here on The Mario Rosenstock Podcast to chat about the crazy year that he has had – from his continued activism and the negative attention it has been attracting, to his trip to Iran and thoughts on how the Irish and the Iranian people share a lot in common, the new satirical tv show that he is making, and lots more. COMEDY – Its not long before one of Ireland's most anticipated concerts of the year is here, Oasis!

In this episode of End Times Friday, Richard Case and Kathy Rocconi discuss the current geopolitical landscape, focusing on the threats posed by nuclear weapons in the Middle East, particularly from Iran, and the implications for Israel. They explore the concept of a two-state solution and the challenges it faces, as well as the spiritual dimensions of these events in light of biblical prophecy. The conversation also delves into the rise of a one world government and the economic changes that are shaping our future, emphasizing the importance of understanding the times and knowing how to respond as believers.We want to hear from YOU!

On this episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew delivers a powerful and uncompromising message about moral clarity, the survival of Israel, and the threats facing Western civilization. In a world clouded by media bias, political cowardice and misinformation, Andrew cuts through the noise to expose the truth about Hamas, Iran and those who—knowingly or not—give cover to evil.He calls out the morally bankrupt narratives dominating Western Europe, the United Nations and even the U.S. Senate where half of the Democratic caucus recently voted to block military aid to Israel. Andrew confronts the lies of the Hamas-controlled "health ministry," the manipulation of humanitarian imagery, and the dangerous trend of rewarding terrorism under the guise of “peace.”This episode explores:Why calls for a ceasefire often cause more death, not lessThe horrifying realities of October 7th and the ongoing hostage crisisIsrael's unprecedented humanity in urban warfare—fact-checked by military expertsHow Iran arms and funds terror proxies including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the HouthisWhy Western values, not just Israeli security, are on the lineAndrew issues a direct challenge to the media, to members of Congress, and to all who seek truth: Stop the moral relativism.

En plein pic estival, les compagnies aériennes déploient des stratégies inédites pour séduire les voyageurs. Entre montée des préoccupations environnementales et rude concurrence, elles misent sur la diversification de leur offre, l'expérience passager et l'optimisation des revenus. Tour d'horizon. Il fut un temps où voler signifiait choisir entre trois classes: économique, affaire ou première. Désormais, une quatrième option s'impose dans le ciel. La classe « premium economy », un compromis confortable entre l'économie classique et les classes supérieures. Proposée aujourd'hui aussi bien par les compagnies traditionnelles qu'à présent par certaines low-cost, cette classe intermédiaire promet plus d'espace, un embarquement prioritaire et un service amélioré. Pour les compagnies, c'est surtout un surcoût relativement faible. L'objectif est simple, maximiser les revenus en augmentant le prix du billet sans exploser les coûts. Chez Delta, par exemple, cette option offre des rendements supérieurs à ceux de la classe économique standard. À lire aussiLes turbulences du secteur aérien à l'heure de la présidence de Donald Trump Les compagnies deviennent aussi des agences de voyages Autre virage stratégique, la transformation en véritables tour-opérateurs. EasyJet en est l'exemple le plus abouti avec sa plateforme EasyJet Holidays. Lancée en 2019 et arrivée en France fin 2023, cette offre 100% en ligne propose vols, hébergements et restauration – le tout sans passer par une agence physique. Résultat: un succès économique. EasyJet Holidays a représenté un tiers du bénéfice avant impôt du groupe l'an passé. Une stratégie qui inspire désormais d'autres compagnies comme Air France, Transavia, Eurowings ou Ryanair, toutes prêtes à capter une part du marché touristique global. Le « stopover », ou comment transformer une escale en escapade Et si l'on profitait de son escale pour découvrir une nouvelle ville? C'est l'idée derrière le concept de « stopover », désormais mis en avant par des compagnies telles qu'Emirates, Finnair ou Japan Airlines. Finie l'attente interminable en zone de transit, les passagers se voient offrir des nuits d'hôtel, des transferts et des repas pour explorer la ville d'escale. Une offre « gratuite » intégrée dans le prix du billet, qui profite à tout le monde : le passager vit une expérience enrichie, la compagnie valorise son hub, et le tourisme local en sort gagnant. En diversifiant leurs offres et en repensant l'expérience voyage, les compagnies aériennes parviennent à booster leurs revenus dans un contexte toujours plus concurrentiel. Une manière aussi de reconstruire leur rentabilité après les années noires du Covid-19. À lire aussiGuerre Israël-Iran: les compagnies aériennes face à une envolée des coûts

With Saudi recognition of Israel off the table, pro-Israeli and Israeli pundits and far-right and conservative pro-Israel groups in the United States are pushing the kingdom to become an aggressive regional player in Israel's mould. The pundits and groups want Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to abandon his de-escalation policy, including the kingdom's fragile freezing of its differences with Iran, and to reignite his ill-fated 2015 military campaign against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen that sparked one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Proponents of a Saudi Arabia, that like Israel would impose its will with military force, believe that a more assertive kingdom would allow Israel to outsource its fight with the Houthis, revive the notion of an Israeli-Gulf anti-Iran and anti-Turkey alliance, help Saudi Arabia resolve differences with the United Arab Emirates, Israel's best Arab friend, and potentially give the possibility of Saudi recognition of Israel and a key role in post-war Gaza a new lease on life. To garner support among US administration hawks and President Donald J. Trump's isolationist Make America Great Again (MAGA) support base, the pundits and conservative think tanks argue that Saudi Arabia's de-escalation policy and informal ceasefire with the Houthis have enabled rebel missile attacks against Israel and US naval vessels and commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

Scholar of Israel's occupation, genocide, and apartheid, and former coordinator for the BDS weapons embargo campaign Shir Hever returns to Bad Faith to offer insights into the politics on the ground in Israel, the interplay between the Iran war and Netanyahu's political ambitions, the implications of polls showing overwhelming majorities of Israeli's support Israel's genocide and even expulsion of Arab Israelis from the country, and the status of BDS campaigns around the world.

Buckle up yall! On this episode we start off by discussing the radioactive wasps found in South Carolina and their possible implecations on the local wildlife/human population. We then spend a few minutes discussing the Texas Democrat law makers that have fled the state to avoid a vote rather than doing their jobs (literally the thing they were elected to do). You may remeber Dean Cain as Superman from the 90's tv series, but now he's an ICE agent, and has started a recruiting campaign to get others to join! We then talk about the Ft. Stewart shooting that just took place, injuring 5 soldiers. We then shift gears to discuss the new slur for AI driven robots, and what other new derogatory terms we may see in the future. NASA has determined they will be building a Lunar Nuclear Reactor on the moon by 2030, 5 years ahead of the Chinese/Russian goal of 2035. Trump has decided to hit India with an additional 25% tarriff, bringing their total to 50% due to their buying of Russian oil. "Big Balls", a DOGE employee, was attacked in DC, prompting Trump to say that he wants to federalize the district! Russian HIV cases have exploded since their invasion of Ukraine to an astronomical amount, due to the sex workers and needle sharing (and all that that implies) on the front. Speaking of sex workers, a Thai woman has been bedding bhuddist monks, then extorting millions of dollars from them over the past few years, and was caught with 80,000 pictures and videos she was using to blackmail them! Meanwhile, the US and European countries have told Iran that it needs to cease all spy and espionage operations or there will be consequences. Iran is also handling their own alleged "in-house" espionage issues as they just hung a nuclear scientist for giving information to moussad about the death of a scientist during the bombings. In Sudan, the Sudanese government has accuse the UAE of funding Columbian mercenaries to join with the RSF in their ever growing civil war. Then we end the conversation with a zoo in Denmark asking their citizens to donate their pets to feed their predators in their exhibits; specifically chickens, guinnea pigs, rabbits...and horses!To join in on the conversation next Wednesday at 9pm cst come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

After the 12 day war, which saw Israel and the US bomb Iran and its nuclear facilities, where next for the Iranian regime?  Questions remain over the Tehran regime's ability to stay in power after decades of tensions in the region exploded on Iranian soil in June, its strategy of ‘forward defence' left in ruins following Israel's attacks on Iranian-aligned militia groups. Will Iran now continue to pursue what's left of the nuclear programme targeted by US and Israeli strikes, or can a lasting diplomatic solution finally be found?  Gavin Esler talks to Vali Nasr – the Majid Khadduri Professor of International Affairs and Middle East Studies at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, and the author of  Iran's Grand Strategy – A Political History. • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is supported by Incogni, the service that keeps your private information safe, protects you from identity theft and keeps your data from being sold.

Jon Herold dives into a whirlwind of breaking developments, starting with Donald Trump's push for a ceasefire in Ukraine and a confirmed upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin. He speculates Saudi Arabia or the UAE could host, tying it to recent high-level Middle East diplomacy. Herold then unpacks Supreme Court precedent that could widen the RICO Grande case to include private citizens, hinting at a massive potential sweep. Other key updates include Trump's executive order for a new census excluding illegal immigrants, surging tariffs that bring Apple manufacturing back to the U.S., and shifting Abraham Accords dynamics following Israeli strikes on Iran. He covers Intel's CEO facing CCP-ties scrutiny, Space Force satellite advances, and Truth Social's new AI-powered search. The episode closes with FBI shakeups over January 6 agent secrecy, RFK Jr. slashing vaccine funding, and Herold's trademark banter with the live chat.

Zbigniew Brzeziński was one of the most influential statesmen of the cold war. But many of the geopolitical problems he wrestled with in Russia, China and the Middle East, have returned with a vengeance. Among his many prescient ideas, ‘Zbig' as he was known, predicted that American hubris might lead to an ‘alliance of the aggrieved' between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. Gideon discusses his life and legacy with FT colleague Ed Luce, who has written an acclaimed biography of the Polish-born strategist.

Comedian and school teacher Pej Ahmadi makes his debut on the podcast. Randy kicks off by asking Pej about Iran, so Pej gives a little history lesson on Persia. They talk about the current situation in the Middle East and how everyone has an opinion, even if they know absolutely nothing about the region. Pej talks about his family fleeing Iran and being a refugee in the US. The boys get into a discussion about racism and bigotry and how other countries have to deal with it as part of their culture more than most Americans think. Randy asks Pej what it's like being an elementary school teacher. They shift back to discuss the 1979 Iranian revolution. Pej starts a conversation about money and politics and how financial interests are what really controls American politics. Randy asks about how he got his start in comedy and being a musician. The guys touch on the Israel-Iran conflict before closing with the news for the week - 50% of women in relationships have a back-up partner plan in mind, a chef was fired for telling a social media influencer she isn't famous enough to get a free meal, and a new study suggests women are usually right in relationship arguments.    00:00  Intro 01:00  Iran and Persians in California 05:00  Being a Refugee in America 19:00  Racism Abroad 24:00  Teaching and Education in America 31:00  Childhood and Growing Up Today 40:00  Money and Politics 48:00  Starting in Comedy 1:00:00  The Weekly News   Outro: “Funk Doctor” by Gee Dubs   Social Media: Instagram: @randyvalerio @readysetblowpodcast Twitter: @randytvalerio @readysetblowpodcast TikTok: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpod YouTube:   @randyvaleriocomedy   @readysetblowpodcast     #comedypodcast #comedy #podcast #news #advice #standup #standupcomedy #comedian #jokes #politics #relationships #dating #marriage #kids #family #parenting #iran #persia #iranian #persian #middleeast #israel #history #education #children #student #teacher #school #parents #war #conflict #money #racism #immigration #immigrants #refugees #childhood #teacher #teaching #growingup #parenting

Today marks 80 years since the first use of a nuclear weapon during wartime — the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. Also, political parties in Israel who represent the Ultra-Orthodox, known as Haredim, are incensed over legislation forcing them to join the army, something they've thus far been exempt from. And, a lack of rain and soaring temperatures have stressed Tehran's infrastructure to the breaking point as a drought and heat wave intensify in Iran. Plus, Italy hopes to build the longest suspension bridge in the world.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

I never imagined I would experience such profound upgrades while being back in my ancestral lands, just miles away from the South of Iran where my mother's lineage is from.  I found myself tapping into a new level of queen frequency. Channeling Nefertiti energy. And with that came a massive purge of unconscious blocks I didn't even know I was carrying. And then, in a way only the universe could orchestrate… I ended up in a healing session at the side of a party. That night I met Frank Elaridi  a four-time Emmy Award-winning journalist turned energy healer and spiritual coach. Within minutes of talking, I felt like I knew him from a past life. In this powerful episode of the Highest Self Podcast, we dive into: ✨ How to uncover the original reference point of your blocks

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani calls in for an unfiltered conversation with Adam. They begin by discussing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and whether a regime change in Iran is on the horizon. The two also tackle the controversial question of whether a “deep state” exists within the U.S. government, using a recent clip from The Colbert Show featuring Senator Elissa Slotkin as a jumping-off point. Rudy then walks Adam through how he came into possession of Hunter Biden's infamous laptop and details some of the incriminating contents found on it. They discuss the media's refusal to cover the story seriously and reflect on how similar tactics were used to launch smear campaigns against Donald Trump. Adam wraps up the interview by asking Rudy for his take on Vladimir Putin and the narrative that Putin preferred Trump over Kamala Harris in U.S. elections.Jason “Mayhem” Miller returns to the studio to go over some of the trending headlines. They dive into a viral story about a wife charging her husband for packing his lunches, sparking debate over modern marriage dynamics. The conversation shifts to Shannon Sharpe's unexpected exit from ESPN, just weeks after settling a legal battle over sexual assault allegations. Then, they take a look at a scandal involving the Barneys heir accused of helping his family dodge $20 million in taxes.
