Podcasts about Iraq

A last-minute Friday episode, because I forgot we didn't have one. Michael worked under pressure. We open with the Roberts Ridge series. The criticism online was valid: I should have asked Mitch and Brian whether they believe John Chapman earned the Medal of Honor, and I should have pushed on why the members of MAKO 30 supported the Navy Cross narrative and then would not sign statements for the Medal of Honor. That gap has to be addressed directly. I also explain where I actually land on the medal, why Pat Tillman is the example of what happens when you lie to protect a legacy, and why I am not a protector of the SEAL brand. The other side of the table is coming on in mid-October. From there, a report that an AI chatbot hallucinated nuclear components on a Chinese cargo ship and had aircraft scrambled before someone caught it. Michael and I argue about whether AI art is art. A judge blocks the White House from pulling press credentials, and I explain why censorship never works and what I would do as press secretary. Lincoln shut down hundreds of newspapers during the Civil War. The last U.S. troops leave Iraq, and we talk contractors, Title 10 versus Title 50, and why Afghanistan still stings. A pilot stabbed his co-pilot on a flight to Tel Aviv and the plane dropped 14,000 feet before passengers got into the cockpit.

In this episode Jimmy discusses the controversial Cornell University sexual-assault case involving a former student who alleged that seven fraternity members gang-raped her while she was intoxicated and using ketamine. The discussion highlights Sunny Hostin's legal analysis that, under her interpretation of New York law, voluntary intoxication alone does not automatically establish inability to consent, and it emphasizes details from the earlier statement describing consensual sexual activity, boundaries being respected, and the difficulty prosecutors would face proving criminal charges beyond a reasonable doubt.  Jimmy cites Glenn Greenwald who focuses on due process and the presumption of innocence, criticizing the public dissemination of the accused students' names and photographs and comparing the controversy to the Duke lacrosse case, while Stef Zamorano emphasizes the seriousness of the allegations and the effects of alcohol and ketamine on everyone involved. The segment concludes with criticism of political and social-media reactions to the case, including comments by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, while arguing that alleged misconduct, criminal liability, and public punishment without a conviction should be distinguished. Plus segments on the recent US military decision to pull out of Iraq entirely and President Trump expressing support for Flock cameras. Also featuring Col. Lawrence Wilkerson and Mischa Paullin!

Send us Fan MailTrent sits down at AFA with 2nd Air Force Command Chief CMSgt Colin Fleck to talk about what may be one of the biggest shifts in Air Force Basic Military Training in decades.The conversation starts with legacy. Trent wears his father's jacket and talks about how one generation of service can change the trajectory of an entire family. Chief Fleck shares his own family story — grandparents who served, a father in the Army, joining after September 11th, a son who became a Marine, another who just graduated Air Force BMT, and a daughter who married an Airman.Then they get into why BMT is changing.The goal is not to trash what came before. BMT built generations of successful Airmen. The question is whether the Air Force can do more to prepare the next generation for a fight that probably will not look like Iraq or Afghanistan.That means putting the Air Force back into Air Force Basic Military Training.Instead of learning discipline, teamwork, attention to detail, and military bearing without always seeing where those skills connect to the mission, trainees are now getting hands-on mission context. There is already an F-16 on the ground. C-130s are coming. Trainees are working simulated weapons loading, cargo movement, aircraft refueling, runway repair, casualty movement, planning, risk management, debriefs, and after-action reviews.The point is not to make every trainee a maintainer, defender, or weapons troop. The point is to make them understand what it means to be an Airman first and how every career field contributes to generating airpower.Chief Fleck also explains where the culminating exercise is headed: an austere airbase environment, ground and air threats, small UAS, CBRN, limited sleep, noise, pressure, aircraft generation, cargo, refueling, and a real test of whether trainees can operate as a team.And for the NCOs waiting for these Airmen?Do not squash them.They may show up more mission-focused, more willing to plan, more curious about risk, and more proud of being Airmen than previous generations. Challenge them. Teach them. Ask them questions. And get back to the basics that can actually save lives: TCCC, small arms, CBRN, physical fitness, and preparing people to do hard things.Because as Chief Fleck puts it: Airmen joined the military to do military shit.Links:- www.bmt.projects-af.com- OnesReady.com- OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:07 - CMSgt Colin Fleck at AFA01:08 - Why Trent Wore His Father's Jacket02:30 - Chief Fleck's Family Legacy04:45 - What the Name Tape Means05:21 - Why People Really Join07:01 - Building the Next Generation07:44 - The Moral Imperative to Prepare Airmen09:52 - Changing BMT Is Not an Indictment of the Past11:44 - So What Is Actually Changing?13:54 - Putting the Air Force Back Into BMT15:54 - An F-16 on the Drill Pad17:37 - C-130s Are Coming Too18:37 - What Training Got Rebalanced20:03 - Why MTIs Are Buying In21:54 - From the Drill Pad to the Airfield24:21 - Building a Culminating Event Airmen Earn25:40 - What NCOs Need to Do Next31:03 - What Comes Next for BMTSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

There are some headlines that truly make me laugh. Here's one:IB Times: Donald Trump reportedly ‘twitching in anger' while calling undocumented migrants, “the worst people”.In case you missed it, the US left Iraq. And no Marines were harmed in the exit strategy. The State Department has revoked more than 250,000 visas since President Donald Trump took office, as the administration continues to crack down on unlawful immigration and increase vetting of who is allowed to visit the United States.When have you ever heard of this happening, except under Trump. The fact that we haven't should trouble you.The revocations were for a variety of violations, including visa holders who violated the terms of their visas, committed crimes, called for violence against the U.S. or Americans, defrauded Americans, abused the immigration system, and endangered national security, a State Department official told Fox News Digital.Among the visas revoked were 2,300 in connection with birth tourism, the practice of pregnant foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. specifically to give birth so their child automatically receives citizenship.Source: FOX NewsWhat number of people have we given visas to over the past decade? The idea that they are all good is ridiculous, particularly when we see what Leftists have allowed some of them to do.How can you get a visa to a country to attend college, then trash the country? Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much.

A FlyDubai jet full of Israelis was supposed to land in Tel Aviv. The co-pilot stabbed the captain instead. The plane plunged thousands of feet. Passengers had to break into the cockpit to stop it. Wednesday morning, FlyDubai flight FZ1073 left Dubai for Tel Aviv with about 174 people on board, most of them Israelis. At cruise altitude, near 34,000 feet, the co-pilot stabbed Captain Smit Machchhar. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacker apparently tried to crash the plane with the passengers on board. The Boeing 737 dropped thousands of feet — some flight data put the fall around 17,000 to 18,000 feet — sent a 7700 emergency squawk, and turned for Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Israeli fighter jets were scrambled. Airspace was briefly closed. A man trusted with the controls of a commercial flight to Israel allegedly used that access to try to kill the people in the back. Pat also covered: Trump says the last U.S. troops are out of Iraq. The Pentagon calls the Erbil pullout done, and Trump brands the war a “quagmire” and an “excursion into hell.” Tennessee failed to execute Christa Pike, the only woman on its death row, after two doses of pentobarbital. Vice President JD Vance says James Talarico wears Christianity as a "skin suit" to get elected. A Rasmussen/Our Republic poll found 19% of likely voters would accept a deal that dismantles Israel if oil and gas prices get cut. Controversy: Sophie Cunningham gets fouled by A'ja Wilson in Game 2, a Fever fan pointed and said, "That's on you," and Wilson marched into the stands and drew a technical.

A copilot stabbed the captain of a FlyDubai flight to Tel Aviv before passengers and crew subdued him and stabilized the plane. The Washington Post’s Gerry Shih explains what investigators are examining. A Tennessee woman on death row survived two doses of lethal injection last night, prompting the state to halt the execution. The Associated Press has the details. U.S. troops have formally withdrawn from Iraq, ending a military operation that lasted more than a decade. Reuters reports on what the withdrawal means for Iran and ISIS. Plus, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pledged to cut 20% of the nation’s generals and admirals, Citadel CEO Ken Griffin is donating $2 billion for a Carnegie Mellon University campus in Miami, and how a bear named Backpack won Fat Bear Week. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

September 30, 2026After more than two decades, the deaths of countless Iraqi civilians and more than 4,500 US troops, the wounding of more than 30,000 US military personnel, and a cost of more than $2.8 trillion, the US has pulled out the last of its forces from Erbil Air Base in northern Iraq, A small contingent of advisors had remained after the US and Iraq agreed to a withdrawal plan in 2024, At that time, Iran seemed to be on the ropes, but Trump's war on Iran has strengthened the country's hand in the region, The invasion of Iraq in 2003 was based on the belief that Iraq's Saddam Hussein was destabilizing the Middle East, Although Saddam had not been involved in the 9/11 attack, officials from the George W Bush administration pushed the idea that the terrorists were affiliated with Iraq, The administration warned that Saddam Hussein was amassing weapons of mass destruction and when Secretary of State Colin Powell warned in a speech at the UN that Iraq had chemical WMDs and the resources to create nuclear weapons, people were convinced it was true. Later the evidence was discredited, but enough countries backed an invasion that in March 2003 American troops invaded with the intention of overthrowing the government, Saddam's forces crumbled and by May the US had set up a transitional government and Bush had declared “Mission Accomplished,” But it wasn't, Now the United States is entering the eighth month of a war on Iran that Trump apparently began with the same cowboy mentality as Bush carried into the war in Iraq, And Pete Hegseth is celebrating his transformation of the military and its “patriotic cowboys.” To read this letter, click here:Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyYou can also find Heather at:YouTubeBlueskyInstagramFacebookThreadsTikTok Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

New evidence is emerging in the Cornell University sexual assault case, including portions of Jane Doe's original police interview, text messages and details from Cornell's investigative records. Jordan breaks down what the Tompkins County District Attorney says his office knew when it decided not to pursue criminal charges in 2024, what appears in the newly reported police interview, why the criminal investigation has now been reopened and what Cornell's newly announced independent review could look like.

Aaron McIntire covers a thwarted hijacking attempt aboard a FlyDubai flight bound for Israel, where a struggle in the cockpit left crew members injured before passengers helped subdue the attacker and the plane landed safely. He covers President Trump's announcement that the last American forces are leaving Iraq, and Senate Democrats blocking bills that would have banned congressional stock trading and required voter ID, the same day a Minnesota grand jury indicted ten foreign nationals for illegal voting. Aaron also covers Vice President JD Vance breaking ground on a new shipyard in Brownsville, Texas, and campaigning for Senate nominee Ken Paxton while criticizing Democrat opponent James Talarico's comments on parental rights. He touches on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's reduction of general and admiral positions, and closes with his own midterm outlook alongside Spencer Pratt's criticism of Republican political consultants.

The pilot of the Flydubai flight is suspected of having stabbed his copilot midflight in an apparent attempt to crash the plane, which was a terrorist attack, after looking into the situation. Mark breaks this down and tries to understand whether this person was part of a sleeper cell. President Trump has officially said the U.S. military says its withdrawal of troops from the Iraq fight is complete. According to certain intelligence, Iran has two to three weeks left due to the war. The investigation of gang rape allegations in a Cornell University fraternity lawsuit, which has been filed by a woman who says she was sexually assaulted in 2024 by seven students, is back in play. The Yankees will advance to the next round of the postseason after beating the Boston Red Sox in the Wild Card games. Dallas Fort Worth Airport is the worst airport to go through due to the delays. Mayor Mamdani got his federal security clearance.  Mark takes your calls! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard endorsed the Dems in the USA's midterm elections yesterday.  When Time magazine interviewed Donald Trump, Time came out with Trump's wildest moments during his time as a political figure. Mark breaks down what could happen with the polls, and Chuck Schumer will be running for Senate leader again as he warns that Republicans may steal the election. Filmmaker Spike Lee had to defend himself against a Palestine supporter who tried to attack him yesterday. Florida is the toughest place to sell a home right now  Mark interviews columnist Liz Peek. Liz and Mark talk about the messaging for the Republicans coming up to the Midterms. Liz believes cutting taxes should be a huge talking point for both parties, but Dems truly don't really like tax cuts. Dems have a messaging machine that the right doesn't. The two discuss what could happen over the next month before the Midterms.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (09.30) There’s an arsonist hitting Woodland Hills, torching front-yard bushes across that stretch of the Valley, while Sherman Oaks businesses like the Pineapple Saloon just got 60 days to pack up so the landlord can remodel. Gavin signed two new bills: A real one that cracks down on copper theft, and cocktails-to-go extended through 2029. Timmy’s still asking who needs a to-go lid when you can mix one at the sink. After the break he “researched” whether bars pay more for booze than you do — they do, ding-dong. Dodgers prepping for a Saturday-Sunday Stadium set; three-peat talk is live, Philly or Atlanta TBD. And Washington’s finally pulling the plug on the Iraq mission that started in 2003 to take out Saddam. Timmy’s foreign-policy plan: air conditioning. It’s hot, and he thinks the heat’s making everybody nuts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Atonement" is a 2026 American drama film, written, produced, and directed by Reed Van Dyk in his directorial debut, based on the 2012 New Yorker article "Atonement" by Dexter Filkins. It stars Boyd Holbrook as a U.S. Marine who accidentally kills three members of a family during a firefight in Baghdad, Iraq. Haunted by memories of war and racked with guilt, he tries to reconcile with the family matriarch, played by Hiam Abbass, years later, with help from English journalist Michael Reid (Kenneth Branagh). The film had its world premiere at the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Caméra d'Or and received positive reviews for its writing and performances. Van Dyk, Abbass, and Holbrook were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters on October 2nd by Kino Lorber.

In this solo episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we examine the American withdrawal from Iraq – the product of Trump's war with Iran, and a strategic defeat of historic proportions.Iraq has been enormously important to the United States since the end of the Cold War. It has served multiple strategic, foreign policy and domestic purposes. Its loss – the effective expulsion of American power from the country – is an epic disaster unfolding in slow motion. It doesn't look like the British retreat from Afghanistan in the 1840s, but it is a catastrophe nonetheless.The war against Iran has achieved the opposite of everything it intended. It has cost America its bases in the Persian Gulf. It has empowered the Houthi rebels in Yemen and threatened control of the Red Sea. It has surrendered the Straits of Hormuz. It has alienated the Gulf states and the Saudis. And now it has forced a strategic withdrawal from Iraq.We trace the long history of American involvement in Iraq – from the use of Saddam Hussein as a bulwark against revolutionary Iran and the Soviet Union, through the first Gulf War and the brutal sanctions regime that followed, to the catastrophic invasion of 2003. We examine the decision not to overthrow Saddam in 1991, the disbandment of the Iraqi army, the failure to understand Iraq's ethnic and religious divisions, and the looting of the National Museum – met with Rumsfeld's infamous remark that "freedom is messy."Drawing on John Gray's critique of liberal interventionism, we consider the argument that there are things worse than tyranny – and that what replaced Saddam's Leviathan was anarchy, a condition that elements of the American right seemed actively to welcome.The withdrawal from Iraq is not the orderly dismantling of empire. It is a rout – and what replaces American influence will almost certainly be Iranian. Trump has defeated his own country.Topics covered:The American withdrawal from IraqThe war against Iran and its strategic consequencesIraq as a Cold War client stateThe first Gulf War and the sanctions regimeThe 2003 invasion and its catastrophic aftermathThe disbandment of the Iraqi armyThe looting of the National MuseumJohn Gray on tyranny and anarchyThe rise of Iranian influence in IraqIf you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

In a rare departure from Iraq's chronic budget delays, the draft 2027 Federal Budget Law has been prepared ahead of the statutory timetable and referred to cabinet for approval.In this episode, we examine how the government managed to prepare the budget ahead of schedule and whether this could mark a break from the recurring cycle of delays that has plagued previous budgets. We also discuss what we can expect from the draft, including the likely level of expenditure, oil revenue assumptions, and how the government plans to finance the deficit. Finally, we look ahead to parliament and the likely sequencing of the legislative agenda that could eventually lead to the budget's approval.

Tonight, U.S. Army veteran Michael Matthews shares a story of service, survival, isolation & the connection that helped change the direction of his life. Michael served three deployments to the Middle East. During a mission in Mosul, Iraq, he was severely injured in an attack. He awoke two weeks later in a hospital in Germany with a broken jaw, severe burns & injuries that required months of physical therapy. He also returned home with a traumatic brain injury & PTSD. As Michael withdrew from others, a chance encounter with a fellow veteran led him to a Wounded Warrior Project event. That first step helped him rediscover the camaraderie he had been missing. Today, Michael shares his story and mentors other wounded warriors so they understand they are not alone. As Suicide Prevention Awareness Month comes to a close, we'll discuss what it will take to end veteran suicide and what each of us can do to support veterans throughout the year.

President Trump told AI executives they can police themselves and signed an order branding the technology “super intelligence,” even as some of those same companies say the rules for keeping it safe are still a work in progress.More than two decades after the U.S. first invaded Iraq, American forces have now left the country as Iran-backed militias remain powerful and some U.S. partners warn they are being left vulnerable.The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to resume deporting some immigrants to countries they have no ties to while the justices consider whether the policy is legal.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

Captain Dan Moran: Still in the Fight — Courage, Recovery, Service & New Hope for VeteransThis week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie Luttrell welcome retired U.S. Marine Corps Captain Dan Moran — a combat-wounded Marine whose life reflects courage, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to continue serving others.During his second deployment to Ramadi, Iraq, Dan's platoon was hit in a devastating enemy ambush. He suffered third-degree burns over roughly 50 percent of his body, a T-8 vertebra compression fracture, herniated discs, a traumatic brain injury, and an inhalation injury.His recovery required approximately 30 surgeries and more than two-and-a-half years of treatment at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. The lasting effects of his injuries even changed the way he must manage temperature and sun exposure in everyday life.But Dan refused to allow his injuries to define what came next.After receiving a specially adapted home from supporters, Dan made a promise: he would repay the investment others had made in him through the way he lived his life and the impact he would have on others.He has spent the years since doing exactly that.Dan founded Moran Enterprises, Inc., became deeply involved in organizations serving wounded warriors and military families, and served with groups including Hope For The Warriors and Helping A Hero. He was also appointed to the Texas Veterans Commission, where he ultimately served as vice chairman before completing nine years of service.For Dan, leaving the Marine Corps never meant leaving the mission.This conversation also explores the invisible injuries many veterans continue to battle, including PTSD, traumatic brain injury, depression, anxiety, and the lasting effects of combat trauma.One emerging area of interest is ibogaine-assisted treatment. Early research involving Special Operations veterans with traumatic brain injury has shown encouraging improvements in PTSD symptoms, depression, anxiety, disability, and cognitive functioning. While ibogaine remains investigational and requires careful medical screening and supervision, its potential has created new hope for veterans who have struggled to find relief through conventional treatments.Dan's story is ultimately about much more than survival.It is about finding purpose after trauma, choosing service over bitterness, and continuing to fight for others long after leaving the battlefield.A Purple Heart recipient and decorated Marine officer, Dan continues to serve through business, veteran advocacy, public service, and leadership.His mission today is different — but the commitment is the same.He is still in the fight. In This Episode: The ambush in Ramadi that changed Dan's life Surviving catastrophic burns, spinal injuries, and TBI Enduring 30 surgeries and years of rehabilitation Finding purpose after medical retirement Giving back to wounded warriors and military families Serving on the Texas Veterans Commission PTSD, TBI, and the invisible wounds of war The emerging promise of ibogaine-assisted treatment Why service remains central to Dan's life Support Dan:-  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-p-moran-48909122Support TNQ  - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13  -  https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquitSponsors:  - Navyfederal.org     - truenutrition.com/NEVERQUIT - davidprotein.com/TNQ- mengotomars.com [Team Never Quit]- Dripdrop.com/TNQ- vinted.com/TNQ- quo.com/TNQ  - bubsnaturals.com [Promo code TNQ]  - mizzenandmain.com   [Promo code: TNQ20]   - masterclass.com/TNQ  - ShopMando.com [Promo code: TNQ]  - Tractorsupply.com/hometownheroes  - meetfabric.com/TNQ  - Prizepicks (PROMO CODE: TNQ)   - armslist.com/TNQ   -  PXGapparel.com/TNQ  - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ   - shipsticks.com/TNQ   - stopboxusa.com {TNQ}   - Tonal.com [TNQ]  - greenlight.com/TNQ  - drinkAG1.com/TNQ  - Hims.com/TNQ

End Of An Era_ US Finally _Sort-Of_ Out Of Iraq by Ron Paul Liberty Report

1965  IBM  360/85 FORT MEADECONTENTS OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-29-2026Navigating Artificial Intelligence And ElectionsGUEST: Liz PeekLiz Peek analyzes the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and the emerging debate over its regulation. While tech figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk advocate for industry guardrails to mitigate risks like rogue AI agents and safety vulnerabilities, President Trump pushes for rapid advancement to maintain a competitive edge over China. Peek differentiates macro AI safety concerns from local opposition to data centers, which centers on utility costs. Turning to politics, she evaluates the Senate midterms, noting Republicans hold an edge in key tossup states like New Hampshire and Maine, while Democrats face steep challenges running the table nationwide. File 1Middle East Escalations And ConflictGUEST: Jonathan Schanzer Jonathan Schanzer evaluates ongoing conflicts across the Middle East, focusing on Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, and Gaza. Iran seeks to prolong military tensions to deplete American munitions, raise oil prices, and avoid facing severe domestic anger over its collapsing economy. In Yemen, the Iranian aligned Houthi militia pushes to unify the country, threatening Saudi Arabia and regional stability. Meanwhile, Hezbollah capability in Lebanon has been reduced by eighty percent, though political paralysis hinders government control. Schanzer notes that ending the Gaza conflict hinges on disarming Hamas, while withdrawing American troops from Iraq opens dangerous avenues for Iranian influence across the region. File 2European Leftist Populism And AIGUEST: Joseph Sternberg2 Joseph Sternberg highlights the rise of far left populism in Europe, exemplified by Die Linke winning local elections in Berlin. The party, rooted in East German communism, combines classic Marxist economic proposals like housing nationalization with troubling anti-Semitic sentiments emerging from an alliance of radical critical theorists and Islamist voters. Sternberg argues this coalition makes hostility an existential issue for the left compared to right wing parties. He also addresses the economic uncertainties of artificial intelligence, warning that massive infrastructure spending on data centers may fail to yield expected financial returns, creating major risks alongside ongoing American and Chinese competition. File 3Michigan Senate Battleground Midterm AnalysisGUEST: Thaddeus McCotter Thaddeus McCotter provides an extensive analysis of the Michigan Senate race between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El Sayed. McCotter highlights economic anxieties, inflation, and energy costs driven by Middle East conflict as central voter concerns. While Michigan historically leans Democratic in Senate contests, El Sayed's primary victory over center left Haley Stevens and his association with radical figures like Hassan Piker alienate moderate voters. McCotter observes that while Democrats capitalize on economic frustration, El Sayed's far left platform gives Republicans a viable path. Nationwide, McCotter notes that Democrats face an uphill battle to win the Senate this cycle. File 4Global Security And Strategic GeopoliticsGUEST: Gregory Copley Gregory Copley analyzes global geopolitical shifts, focusing on China, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom. He describes the summit between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump as symbolic stability designed to prop up China's fragile domestic economy and internal Communist Party rivalries amid severe water and demographic crises. In Southeast Asia, Copley examines Indonesia acquiring an aircraft carrier under President Prabowo Subianto, signaling strategic modernization to safeguard vital maritime choke points between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Finally, he dismisses the Cardiff Memorandum, a sovereignty effort by Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish leaders, as grandstanding driven by frustration with Westminster government performance. File 5Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure And RegulationGUEST: Jim McTague Jim McTague explores the political and economic friction surrounding artificial intelligence expansion, particularly the development of massive data centers. Reporting from Pennsylvania, McTague notes how local municipalities are establishing zoning regulations and utility constraints to prevent corporate developers from imposing facilities without community input. Alongside cohost Thaddeus McCotter, McTague discusses White House backing for a golden age of artificial intelligence, comparing proposed regulatory approaches to financial market oversight. While tech leaders call for industry guardrails, McTague emphasizes that light touch, goal oriented regulatory models are superior to heavy handed rules, warning that political backlash over energy grid strain impacts elections. File 6Russian Election Control Hybrid WarfareGUEST: Ivana StradnerIvana Stradner details how Vladimir Putin maintained absolute control over Russia's Duma elections, securing three quarters of the seats for United Russia through autocratic manipulation, barring anti war parties like Yabloko, and staging fabricated electoral unity. Stradner explains that these domestic maneuvers serve Putin's broader ambition of restoring imperial dominance and testing NATO resolve. Through hybrid warfare, encompassing political pressure, sabotage, cyber operations, and psychological tactics, Russia aims to exploit western disunity and risk aversion. Stradner warns that Putin seeks to expose NATO Article Five as ineffective, emphasizing that western allies must show unity and escalate deterrence to counter threats. FILE 7Russian Sanctions Arctic Energy ExpansionGUEST: Max Meizlish Max Meizlish analyzes the enforcement of United States economic sanctions on Russia's Arctic LNG Two energy project and the strategic implications of the Polar Silk Road partnership between Moscow and Beijing. Meizlish notes that while previous enforcement turned back critical Chinese power modules, inconsistent application permitted later deliveries. Chinese state owned enterprises buy sanctioned facilities to shield transactions from Western pressure while purchasing discounted Russian liquefied natural gas. Meizlish stresses that Washington must utilize new legislative mandates like the Graham Sanctions Act to penalize non compliant Chinese entities, warning that weak enforcement enables adversaries to build dual use Arctic infrastructure.

Britain's justice system is under scrutiny after anti-migration activist Danny Tommo is refused bail and remanded in custody over allegations that he slashed a Channel dinghy, while five men arrested near RAF Fairford on suspicion of terrorism and explosives offences are released on bail under strict conditions as the investigation continues. We look at the stark contrast between the two cases, why Donald Trump says he would not have released the Fairford suspects, and the wider debate over whether Britain is applying its laws and policing consistently amid increasingly bitter disputes over immigration, protest and national identity.  I'm joined by retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant Joe Deslauriers, a Silver Star recipient and former Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2011, Joe was critically wounded by an IED in Afghanistan, losing both legs and his left arm. Since then, he has spoken extensively about recovery, resilience and rebuilding his life after catastrophic injury.
