In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: China is quietly surrounding Taiwan. New reporting reveals Beijing now maintains a near-constant naval presence around the island, transforming what were once temporary military demonstrations into the new normal and raising fresh questions about China's long-term intentions toward Taipei. The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog says inspectors are expected to visit Iran's enrichment facilities as negotiations between Washington and Tehran move into their next phase. We'll explain why international verification remains one of the most important—and potentially contentious—elements of any future agreement. Russia is accusing the Trump administration of drifting away from peace negotiations and closer to Ukraine. We'll examine what's behind the Kremlin's frustration and what it could mean for efforts to end the war. In today's Back of the Brief—Iran's banking sector is dealing with the fallout from a cyberattack that disrupted services at three of the country's largest financial institutions, raising new concerns about the resilience of Tehran's financial infrastructure.

Hawk plays a clip of Nichols appearing on Deadline White House with Nicole Wallace on June 22nd. He covers Trump's claim that Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is essentially worthless, a reversal from his earlier position that Iran must surrender its entire nuclear program. Hawk points out that Iran only resumed enrichment after Trump tore up the JCPOA in 2018, and that JD Vance's announcement of independent nuclear inspectors entering Iran was something the Obama deal already secured from 2015 to 2018. Hawk argues that Iran won this war not militarily but economically and psychologically, by accurately profiling both Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu from the start and understanding exactly how each would respond to domestic economic pressure. He notes Trump was warned before the war began, including by Tucker Carlson, that Iran's first move would be closing the Strait of Hormuz. He didn't listen. Hawk also addresses Pete Hegseth's role, the Iranian delegation's refusal to shake JD Vance's hand, and the unresolved conflict between Israel and Lebanon that continues to block any lasting deal.

The MOU's opening term demands an immediate end to all military operations including in Lebanon, a war Israel is fighting against Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy. Israel was not part of the negotiations, is not a signatory, and is not named. That first sentence effectively legitimizes Hezbollah. Iran retains joint control of the Strait of Hormuz with Oman. The U.S. commits to lifting every category of sanctions: UN Security Council resolutions, IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, and all unilateral U.S. primary and secondary sanctions. Iran receives $100 billion in unfrozen assets with no spending restrictions and a $300 billion reconstruction fund guaranteed by the United States, also with no restrictions. Nothing in the text prevents Iran from directing that money to Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, or ballistic missile development. On the nuclear question, Hawk notes that no intelligence agency on the planet assessed Iran as close to a nuclear weapon before this war, and Tulsi Gabbard testified before Congress that Iran had not rebuilt the infrastructure destroyed last June. The two concessions Iran actually makes, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and a pledge not to pursue nuclear weapons, describe conditions that already existed before the war started. The contrast with Obama's JCPOA is direct. Obama froze all sanctions, secured a ten-year framework, fired no missiles, lost no American lives, and released $1.7 billion that was already Iranian money owed from a 1977 arms deal. Trump spent $100 billion on the war, got 14 to 15 Americans killed, sent gas and grocery prices surging, nearly triggered a global recession, and is handing Iran $400 billion with no conditions. Iran proved its regime can survive a full U.S. and Israeli military assault. Gulf states now know the U.S. cannot protect them. Israel is more isolated than at any point in modern history.

Boortz discusses the debate over how serious a nuclear-armed Iran could become, arguing that the risks of inaction outweigh concerns about short-term economic impacts like rising gas prices.

The show opens in a temporary studio with technical issues and guest-heavy programming, then moves quickly into political controversy surrounding Donald Trump, including renewed claims about deep state resistance, skepticism over past assassination narratives, and criticism of intelligence officials like John Brennan. A major national security thread develops after reporting that a former California mayor pleaded guilty to acting as an illegal Chinese agent, fueling broader discussion on CCP infiltration, immigration policy, AI-generated media, and foreign interference risks inside the United States. International coverage centers on escalating Iran tensions and U.S. diplomatic positioning ahead of high-level talks with China, alongside debate over military readiness and war powers authority. Senator Eric Schmidt argues Iran's capabilities have been significantly weakened and emphasizes preventing nuclear development while avoiding long-term conflict, while also responding to criticism over U.S. defense stockpiles. Domestic political conflict intensifies as reports surface of Virginia lawmakers allegedly considering restructuring the state Supreme Court through retirement-age changes to reshape its composition and influence redistricting rulings, prompting comparisons to court-packing strategies and broader warnings about institutional manipulation. The show expands into Missouri legislative wrap-up issues, including abortion ballot measures, tax reform proposals, and initiative petition battles, while local reporting highlights St. Charles County short-term rental restrictions and MetroLink security staffing shortages. Guest segments include Rachel Campos-Duffy discussing her new book on American patriotism and cultural identity ahead of the 250th anniversary, Luis Valdes defending gun rights and constitutional protections, and Todd Piro addressing crime and judicial frustration. The final hour focuses on public safety and political accountability, including San Francisco police recruitment incentives and a developing St. Louis County Ethics Committee review involving County Executive Sam Page over alleged dual employment, closing on themes of institutional trust, political escalation, and contested control over courts, elections, and public safety policy.

Iran responds to the U.S. peace proposal with no mention of its nuclear program, as Netanyahu draws a hard red line on enriched uranium and Trump shrugs off the Fort Knox audit question in his Sharyl Attkisson interview. Spencer Pratt keeps gaining ground in the LA mayor's race as Karen Bass ducks a second debate, redistricting continues breaking Republicans' way in Virginia and Tennessee, and Wes Moore refuses to give a straight answer when asked about gender ideology and his own son. Southern Baptist baptism numbers are up for the fifth straight year, Erika Kirk spoke at Hillsdale's commencement, and Aaron closes with the Seattle story he can't get out of his head: a 77-year-old Army veteran beaten on the sidewalk while bystander after bystander just kept walking.
Kimmer and Pete react to Trump stating Iran must not have a nuclear weapon, claims negotiations are stalling over uranium, and insists a clear plan exists to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
“It's outrageous because these nuclear plant facilities were certified by the International Atomic Energy Agency as purely peaceful facilities. The inspectors, they spent, there, a lot of time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Iran is the most verifiable country, thousands of inspections. The agency knows everything about what is going on.” BBC journalist Farnaz Ghazizadeh speaks to Mikhail Ivanovich Ulyanov, Russia's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, about the collapse of diplomacy over Iran's nuclear programme and whether negotiations can still be rescued. With decades of experience in disarmament and nuclear negotiations, Ulyanov insists Iran's nuclear programme is already among the most heavily monitored in the world, and argues concerns over the programme have been exaggerated. Now, as conflict in the region intensifies, Russia is offering to act as a mediator. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

After a brief break, Todd returns with a firsthand story from a weekend AAU basketball tournament before diving into a critical global issue: Iran's nuclear ambitions. While some political voices claim there is “no threat,” even mainstream media outlets are now acknowledging that Iran may possess enough highly enriched uranium to produce multiple nuclear weapons. Todd breaks down the contradiction, the political messaging behind it, and what it means for U.S. foreign policy. He also explores the broader ideological conflict at play, why comparisons to other nuclear nations fall short, and how history—especially post-9/11—should shape our understanding of today's risks.

Overnight, 200 rockets were fired at Israel from Lebanon. Hezbollah, which many believed had been neutered, is back. This week, Yonit and Jonathan take stock of a war that is growing, not winding down. They're joined by General David Petraeus — former CIA Director, commander of coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and one of the most clear-eyed voices on American military strategy. Petraeus breaks down what the US and Israel have actually achieved so far: missile launches are down over 90%, air defenses have been dismantled, and over 6,000 targets hit. But the new Khamenei? "We wanted a Delcy Rodriguez," he says. "We got a young Kim Jong-un." And he's blunt about what comes next: Iran's a million men under arms, and nobody has a clean exit. Then: a very different conversation. Jonathan talks to novelist and broadcaster Naomi Alderman about why she thinks Marty Supreme is the most intensely Jewish movie she's ever seen. Plus: the Mensch and Chutzpah awards return. The Academy of Hebrew Language gets hacked by Iranians. Their response? Perfect. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The discussion explores how Israel conducts offensive operations abroad while protecting its home front.The episode also looks at what some see as mixed messaging from President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about how and when the conflict might end, and Netanyahu's appeal to the Iranian people to challenge the current regime.What do these signals mean and what could they mean for the future of the region?
