According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau Report, America's poverty rate has dropped to the lowest level — not just in recent history but ever recorded. In the same report, the median household income also rose to its highest level since the '60s. How did that happen? Glenn breaks down how President Trump's actions have led to a healthier economy and explains why other factors make things appear worse than they are. Glenn also talks with a caller struggling to afford groceries and gas, warning that Trump's plan is working, even if you can't feel it. Glenn discusses what President Trump is doing about the situation in Iran as the 2026 midterms approach and theorizes what may happen once the election is over. Glenn reacts to the despicable celebrations that happened at colleges around the country regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk. How will these college students explain, when they're older, what they did during college? Glenn speaks to two students from the University of Utah, Rylie Barnes and Riley Beesley, who faced expulsion after exposing a student for celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Savage challenges President George W. Bush's claim that Islam is a religion of peace, arguing that militancy is embedded in Islamism. Iran is a rogue nation that would threaten or blackmail the civilized world if it obtained nuclear weapons. He says truth has become subjective and blames media figures, online influencers, and universities for spreading propaganda.Talking heads tout flat-earth and anti-science ideas, while ignoring Iran's alleged torture and killing of 50,000 citizens. Savage focuses on a "Red-Green alliance" of neo-Marxist progressives and radical Islamists, criticizing Bernie Sanders, "The Squad," CAIR, and George Soros. He links legalization of marijuana to political gullibility and calls for a new HUAC, deportations, defunding universities, restricting Sharia advocates.

A UN fact-finding mission on Iran says there are reasonable grounds to believe the United States was behind two military strikes on a school and sports facility in Iran in February, and that these constituted war crimes.

CAPTION 1868 FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON, JULES VERNE.CONTENTS -JOHN-BATCHELOR-SHOW-9-17-2026 Foreign Conflicts Escalate Global Energy CrisisAnatol Lieven and Jonathan Guyer, co-authors of the report The Iran Trap, discuss interconnected conflicts in Ukraine, Iran, and Yemen threatening critical global energy infrastructure and driving up global diesel costs. Houthis disrupt Red Sea maritime routes while damaged Russian oil refineries reduce worldwide fuel exports. Public polling conducted by the Institute for Global Affairs reveals dropping support for foreign military interventions as four in five Americans connect overseas wars to rising living costs. Their report underscores public fatigue over escalating militarism and growing anxiety regarding unmonitored military artificial intelligence applications. The analysts argue that restoring diplomatic dialogue with China and reasserting congressional war powers remain essential steps toward resolving these compounding geopolitical crises. (1)Supreme Court Rejects Postal Voting RegulationRichard Epstein discusses the Supreme Court's refusal to permit the U.S. Postal Service to implement new mail-in voting regulations ahead of federal elections. Justice Kavanaugh concurred, emphasizing that election administrators lack sufficient time and software systems to process millions of mail-in ballots without causing severe delays. Epstein criticizes the rule as an insidious abuse of government monopoly power, comparing selective ballot inspection to an unconstitutional poll tax. Epstein asserts that presidential efforts to bypass Congress and override state voting authorities breach constitutional separation of powers and fiduciary obligations owed to the public. (2)Brazilian Election Scandal Shakes Supreme CourtMary Anastasia O'Grady reports Brazil's presidential campaign between incumbent Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro has tightened significantly amidst mounting financial and judicial scandals. Flavio Bolsonaro initially suffered in polling after soliciting movie funding from jailed banker Daniel Vorcaro of collapsed Banco Master. However, police investigations revealed text messages from Vorcaro seeking advice from Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, whose wife received a $25 million contract with Banco Master. Moraes previously led efforts to vacate Lula's conviction and silence political opponents. Exposure of judicial influence peddling leaves conflicted voters facing a critical October runoff. (3)Early Solar System Magnetism Shaped PlanetsCauê Borlina and David Livingston: Purdue Professor Borlina analyzed pristine Antarctic meteorites, notably DOM 08006, to investigate the early solar system's magnetic history. By studying calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs)—the oldest known solids formed 4.5 billion years ago—researchers discovered preserved primordial magnetism locked within iron-nickel minerals as they cooled below their Curie temperature. Measurements revealed ancient magnetic field strengths between 150 and 600 microteslas, exceeding Earth's current field strength. This confirms that magnetic forces worked in tandem with gravity to ionize gas and transport nebula mass. Borlina advocates for extensive future sample return missions across asteroids and Mars. (4)Grim Human Reality Of Hiroshima BombingCharles Pellegrino, author of Ghosts of Hiroshima, explores the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, detailing military logistics and human tragedy. Radar engineer Jacob Beser helped calibrate the detonation altitude, while Enola Gay pilot Paul Tibbets performed a sharp escape maneuver to avoid the explosion. On the ground, intense thermal radiation disintegrated citizens instantly or flash-fossilized human bodies at temperatures vastly higher than volcanic eruptions. Pellegrino details survivors like Kenshi Hirata and Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who astonishingly survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. The account illuminates horrific phenomena such as shadow people, shock cocoons, and fatal radiation sickness in children. (5)Latin American Political Instability And SecurityEvan Ellis assesses complex geopolitical shifts across Latin America. In Venezuela, opposition leader María Corina Machado struggles to return home as the U.S. navigates high-stakes oil deals alongside interim leaders Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez. Meanwhile, non-traditional U.S. counter-narcotics reporting reflects shifting diplomatic relations with Colombia and Venezuela. In Brazil, a close presidential election between Flavio Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva highlights deep polarization, judicial corruption controversies, and competing U.S.-China strategic interests. Additionally, Argentine President Javier Milei leverages historical Falkland Islands sovereignty claims to navigate domestic economic pressures and international political dynamics. (6)

CAPTION  1945 TRINITY TEST LOS ALAMOSLive Streaming weekdays 8-9 AM ET on The John Batchelor Show Substack pageNuclear Deterrence, Broken Treaties, and the Pocketbook Electorate  Peter Huessy, Anatol Lieven, and Jonathan Guyer join John Batchelor. The discussion begins with historical reflections on Cold War-era civil defense drills, illustrating how early memories of nuclear anxiety contrast with current geopolitical tensions. The experts analyze the critical need for nuclear modernization, the termination of historic arms treaties, and the emerging threats posed by Russia, North Korea, and Iran. The conversation transitions into the economic consequences of these tensions, specifically how rising diesel prices and supply chain disruptions are impacting American public opinion. Ultimately, the discussion suggests that domestic economic concerns and the integration of artificial intelligence in warfare are fundamentally reshaping the electorate's view of international security.

The Chicks dig into the latest 2026 midterm conversation, including polling and political numbers they see as reasons for Republican optimism, plus the ongoing fight over data centers and electricity costs. They also react to Hasan Piker's Axios interview and his comments about America, Israel, Iran, and the Middle East, along with awkward encounters involving Sen. Alex Padilla and Rep. Ilhan Omar.Plus, the Lindsay Clancy case continues to generate controversy as Patrick Clancy prepares for a televised interview and the lone holdout juror gets an attorney amid intense public attention. The episode also gets into Macklemore, the Israel debate, a University of Utah student controversy, TPUSA and Candace Owens, modern dating culture, the eerie “Universe 25” mouse experiment, and—because it's Friday—crabs with knives and squirrels causing absolute chaos.0:00 Intro 0:15 Rude Email Drama6:49 HealthyCell Ad9:05 Trump's Big Poland Announcement11:20 Trump Wins the Media Isn't Talking About 15:36 CNN's Midterm Numbers17:54 Funny AI Ad For Dems20:00 Bulwark Capital Ad22:20 Data Centers & Rising Electricity Costs24:41 AI Regulation + Marc Andreessen's Warning28:43 Jonathan Jackson + Alex Padilla Dodges Questions31:04 Ilhan Omar Confronted34:13 Michigan Voters, Religion & Dana Bash38:29 Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Ad40:43 Hasan Piker's Axios Interview45:18 Democrats Can't Escape the Hasan Piker Problem47:35 Hasan Piker Confronted Over His 9/11 Comments49:59 Abdul El-Sayed, Gaza & Egypt52:25 Antisemitism + Vanderbilt's Muslim Student Association54:42 Haley Stevens Confronted Over Israel56:50 Macklemore, Ms. Rachel & Pro-Palestine Celebrity Activism1:01:22 “Jewish Derangement Syndrome” Goes Viral1:05:17 The British Food Aisle Goes Viral1:07:27 Patrick Clancy's Upcoming 60 Minutes Interview1:11:20 Lindsay Clancy Jurors Speak Out1:13:36 Holdout Juror Lawyers Up1:16:45 University of Utah Case Dismissed1:18:30 Candace Owens vs. TPUSA1:20:02 Candace Owens Questions Erica Kirk's School Event1:22:27 TPUSA Fires Back1:27:02 Modern Dating Has Completely Lost the Plot1:29:24 Looksmaxxing & Internet Brain Rot1:31:42 The Terrifying “Universe 25” Mouse Experiment1:34:02 Crabs With KNIVES?!1:37:26 Squirrel Chaos1:39:29 Incredible “God Was Watching Over Us” Story1:41:49 Viewer Comments1:46:38 Birthday Gifts + Friday Wrap-UpGet a FREE Two-Week Trial of HealthyCell's REM Sleep, AND a $10 gift card- all for $10 shipping.

Fox News is having profound trouble coping with the spate of terrible stories hitting Donald Trump. Lately the network has been mostly avoiding discussion of the Iran debacle. Fox largely ignored the report of a Russian oligarch funding Don Jr.'s wedding. It didn't appear to cover Karl Rove's highly newsworthy warning about racism in the GOP. Meanwhile, a new Fox poll just delivered crushing news to Trump and the GOP: It finds that 63% say Trump made the economy worse; Democrats are substantially leading the GOP on most major issues and in the generic ballot; Democrats are benefiting from a big enthusiasm edge; and much more. Fox often downplays its own polling when it's bad for Trump, but this time, it seems to be breaking through into the coverage. As Matt Gertz of Media Matters details on this episode, Fox is really in crisis mode amid Trump's mounting failures and cratering public standing. Gertz takes us inside how Fox deals with bad news for Trump, discusses how Trump-MAGA propaganda functions, and anticipates what's coming on the right if a big midterm loss badly diminishes him.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Congress has left the building — for two months. No AI legislation, no check on an Iran war the American people never signed up for, no oversight while Trump threatens Cuba, threatens Greenland, watches the Fed raise rates, and lets his son throw a Russian-funded wedding party. Trump sits at 19% approval. J.D. Vance and Pete Hegseth are already jockeying to succeed him. Republicans are scrubbing him from their own ads. And the Democrats aren't exactly filling the vacuum. That's the opening for independents — and Paul Rieckhoff lays out exactly where the movement is building, from Brian Bengs in South Dakota to Dan Osborn in Nebraska to Seth Bodnar in Montana to Todd Achilles in Idaho. Then Paul goes below the radar on the Ed Sheeran / Macklemore / Bob Kraft blowup he witnessed live at MetLife Stadium — a Free Palestine chant that split a family-friendly crowd and now has Macklemore dropped from Gillette Stadium dates. It's a window into where most Americans actually sit on Israel and Gaza: not neutral, not extreme, but exhausted with blank checks and demanding the leaders of both sides stop bombing kids. Paul closes with Football Friday — college and NFL picks, a shout to Audioslave, and a message from his New York City Lions youth team: love one another.

   What is it with all these fake dems running for Senate in Republican states?  Guys like Talarico and Al-Sayed and.... Pastor Adam Hamilton.  They are being so "outed" as liars and frauds it's embarrassing even by political standards.  The latest is a liberal candidate in Nebraska running as an "independent" caught on tape making fun of the people in a small town.... in his own state!  This dude may be the biggest fraud of all.    Trump keeps telling us gas prices are "a small price to pay" for the war in Iran.  For him, yes.  For all the rest of us, no.  It's one of the very few tone deaf things he's said as president.    Josh Hawley is not running for president if you were curious.    On Thursday, team KKHI took a beating at the hands of team Mundo at Uncle Hud's charity whiffle ball tourney to benefit www.thebattlewithin.org. It's ok... it's all about charity.  Rex Hudler took a few minutes to chat with me about why this is a passion of his and his thoughts on what the Royals could be next year.    Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has your pigskin picks in front of Sunday night's game  KU in London and the Cats and Tigers at home.   Our Final Final is tourists finding some long lost treasure.

The Chicks dig into the latest 2026 midterm conversation, including polling and political numbers they see as reasons for Republican optimism, plus the ongoing fight over data centers and electricity costs. They also react to Hasan Piker's Axios interview and his comments about America, Israel, Iran, and the Middle East, along with awkward encounters involving […]

The Supreme Court keeps the Postal Service's mail ballot rule on hold through the midterms, with Thomas and Alito still on board (because of course) and a whistleblower alleging the USPS built the system anyway. Jared predicts November is headed for a mess no matter what the courts say. Speaking of a mess, Mitch McConnell returned to the Senate looking a lot like Grandpa at the dinner table in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which Jared and Nick see as proof of a machine that grinds the humanity out of everyone who serves it. A new report that JD Vance tried to advise the Clinton campaign in 2016 shows exactly who he is: a striver (on a couch) with no principles who could just as easily have ended up a Democrat, and Hillary's own 9/11 essay in The Atlantic proves the striver class is bipartisan (good times). In What We're Watching, Nick catches The Odyssey a second time to get ready for his trip, and Jared is slowly working through For Whom the Bell Tolls and finally watched season one of The Rehearsal. Nick is off to Greece for two weeks, so Jared will hold down the fort until he's back in October.

CAPTION 1638 PERSIAN EMPIREForeign Conflicts Escalate Global Energy CrisisAnatol Lieven and Jonathan Guyer, co-authors of the report The Iran Trap, discuss interconnected conflicts in Ukraine, Iran, and Yemen threatening critical global energy infrastructure and driving up global diesel costs. Houthis disrupt Red Sea maritime routes while damaged Russian oil refineries reduce worldwide fuel exports. Public polling conducted by the Institute for Global Affairs reveals dropping support for foreign military interventions as four in five Americans connect overseas wars to rising living costs. Their report underscores public fatigue over escalating militarism and growing anxiety regarding unmonitored military artificial intelligence applications. The analysts argue that restoring diplomatic dialogue with China and reasserting congressional war powers remain essential steps toward resolving these compounding geopolitical crises. (1)

The war against Iran is putting new strains on U.S. military readiness by consuming munitions and missile defense interceptors, as well as through extended deployments, sustained operational demands, and the diversion of forces and attention from other theaters. Mark Cancian (Center for Strategic and International Studies), Stacie Pettyjohn (Center for a New American Security), and Michael Eisenstadt (Washington Institute for Near East Policy) join Ryan to unpack what readiness actually means, how the war is affecting it, what vulnerabilities have been exposed, and what it all means for deterrence and the U.S. military's ability to respond to a crisis with China.

Russia is quietly feeding Iran the intelligence it needs to kill American service members, the munitions stockpile the administration swears is full is demonstrably empty, and the sailors on the USS Lincoln haven't seen their commander in chief set foot on the deck. Meanwhile the president's son is accepting gifts from a foreign "close friend," the attorney general is running interference instead of investigations, and the Iran war is now polling worse than the data centers inside MAGA itself. This is a media blitz episode — Paul Rieckhoff stitching together the sharpest moments from four national cable hits in eight hours into one no-BS conversation about what's actually breaking in America right now. From the Pentagon to the Fed, from Cash Patel to Lane Kiffin, Paul draws the line between war profiteering and college football's booster-collective gold rush — and asks the same question of both: who's protecting the workers, the players, the troops? He lays out why the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs may be the last adult in the room, why 25 years of war have hollowed out recruiting and retention, and why the populist streak in this country is ready to snap over rich men partying in the Bahamas while working-class kids get shipped to the Middle East. Independent, veteran-led, and unafraid to name names on both sides of the rigged two-party system. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

When it comes to the war in Iran, my supposition is that the economic negativity driving the country — and creating an environment where Democrats could do very well in the midterms — is entirely about one thing: the price of gas. The war is incredibly unpopular, but it's different from the war in Iraq. Both were very expensive, but Iraq brought coffins back at a scale we haven't seen here. The biggest difference is what Americans are paying at the pump.According to AAA's live average, gas is at $4.44 nationally. It's higher in states like California and New York, but even here in Texas, where we have relatively low gas prices, it's edging toward $4. During the memorandum of understanding, that son of a b***h kissed the twos. Before the war in Iran, it was sitting around the twos. It's not good right now.The question is whether this is Iran's play. Iran is extraordinarily sophisticated in its understanding of the American electorate and the American democratic system. Are they timing their greatest chaos in the region to spike the price of oil as high as possible during election season? The United States appeared to have established a flow of tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, but now we've seen missiles and drones fired at American vessels and major damage to Saudi Arabia's 745-mile east-west pipeline.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.That pipeline can move four to five million barrels a day — roughly 4 to 5 percent of the global supply. Saudi Aramco has already told three European refiners they won't receive their full September allotments, forcing them to buy emergency stock on the open market. Because oil is a globally traded commodity, that drives up the price. Chevron CEO Mike Wirth has warned that stockpile releases and access to previously restricted oil stored abroad had constrained prices, but those buffers are now played out. Iran has been warning about $200-a-barrel oil since the beginning of the conflict.The obvious historical comparison is Jimmy Carter. But this isn't 1979. Headline inflation was 11.8 percent then, compared with 3.4 percent now, and unemployment was 6 percent instead of 4.1 percent. We're doing better by those measures, but will any of it matter? Gas was 98 cents a gallon in August 1979. In August 2026, it was $4.20, and it's even higher now.The sunniest version of Trump's tariff policy was that he'd become the greatest energy president of all time and drive gas prices low enough to give him room to negotiate better trade deals. All of that went out the window with the rush into Iran. Even if you don't totally hate the war from a foreign-policy standpoint, you can understand that this is political poison. It's strychnine for the average voter. Electing Trump was, in part, a cry for economic relief from people who didn't trust Joe Biden to provide it. The numbers currently suggest Democrats will receive that same benefit of the doubt. Whether it holds when people vote is the question.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:25 - Gas Prices00:16:34 - Update00:16:59 - Data Centers00:18:20 - ICE00:19:34 - Kennedy Center00:21:46 - Interview with Michael Cohen01:00:02 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

What the hell is happening with U.S. defense technology? Chris Brose, the President and Chief Strategy Officer of defense tech firm Anduril joins us to talk about how private defense companies are innovating and revolutionizing American national security, America's lousy defense acquisition habits, and what we can learn from Ukraine and the war with Iran. The traditional US defense industrial base is slowly cranking out exquisite and outdated weapons. If things don't change, we risk losing a war to China. We discuss the crucial shift towards technological advancement, what the Pentagon and Congress must do, and what this means long term for the safety and security of the American people.Chris Brose is President and Chief Strategy Officer of Anduril Industries, a venture-backed defense technology company.
