Podcasts about Iraq War

The U.S. is at war with the leading state sponsor of terror, and Donald Trump appointed Markwayne Mullin—a man with no counter-terrorism experience—to help defend the homeland. At the same time, Hegseth is a meathead, and the shoe designer at the top of the FBI is preoccupied with visiting all the places on his bucket list. This is the moment for Democrats to argue that Trump has made the country very vulnerable. Plus, the administration apparently did not consider worst case scenarios vis-à-vis Iran, the Iraq War planners look like pros in comparison, Denmark was seriously preparing for an American invasion of Greenland, and is Israel's conduct contributing to the growing antisemitism problem?David Frum joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.show notes David's podcast David encouraging Dems to get to the right of Trump on the war Tim's playlist

From the White House to Iran's former crown prince, proponents of the U.S.–Israel war on Iran sell it to the American people — and Iranians themselves — as a crusade for liberation. Instead, the regime remains in place as the death toll grows, environmental hazards proliferate, and civilian infrastructure is decimated. As if the destruction inside Iran itself wasn't enough, the war is starting to have serious ramifications for the global economy and, more to the point, expanding into neighboring countries.Lebanon, in particular, has come into Israel's crosshairs, with increasing Israeli incursions and missile strikes deeper into the country. The number of dead there is approaching 1,000 with Israeli missiles razing entire apartment blocks in central Beirut this week and a ground invasion getting underway. More than 1 million Lebanese people have been displaced.“I think the Lebanese are suffering now, and there's not really anyone who's trying to save them,” says Afeef Nessouli, a Beirut-based journalist, speaking to The Intercept Briefing. “They know that, and they know that they're just political pawns who are always at the worst end of the stick along with Palestine.” He adds, “The fear is that [Israel] will occupy south of Litani [River] ... and just take people's homes, take their land, and never give it back, make settlements for their country.”“It's been really stunning to watch that so many people fall for this idea of ‘This is a human rights intervention' — and yet it's accomplished through massive human rights violations,” says Ali Gharib, a senior editor at The Intercept. Commenting on Israel's strategy of making failed states out of its adversaries in the region, he notes, the Israelis “don't need [Reza] Pahlavi to work. They don't need him to go in there and become this democratic leader. They just need him to lead a movement that damages the regime enough to put Iran into some kind of fractured state or state failure where it's not a threat to Israel anymore.”“We've had in the last 20 to 25 years, especially since the Iraq War in 2003, a lobby pushing for regime change in Iran,” says Sanam Naraghi-Anderlini, a veteran peace strategist. “The Iraq version of regime change ended up being a catastrophe from a U.S. perspective, but actually from an Israeli perspective and from a Saudi perspective, and even from a UAE perspective, the decimation of Iraq has been a success because if Iraq had turned out to be a liberal democracy, it would've challenged Israel on the question of Palestine. It would've challenged Saudi Arabia on the question of Islam and what is Islam.”It's a region in upheaval, and at the center are Israeli and American fictions about liberatory bombs.“I've been on podcasts with Israeli journalists where they're telling me the Iranians wanted us to go in and liberate them,” says Naraghi-Anderlini, “And my response to them is: Liberate their bodies from their souls?”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.Keep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

When Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) won his Senate seat in 2024, he outperformed Kamala Harris in one of the closest battleground states in the country.  Now that he's in Washington, Gallego's background is particularly relevant at this moment in politics. With the Iran War intensifying, Gallego offers his perspective as an Iraq War veteran on Trump's military operation.  And as a Latino Democratic senator of a border state, Gallego has a distinctive outlook on immigration, with criticism for his own party as well as the GOP.  Sen. Gallego sat down with POLITICO's Dasha Burns on “The Conversation” to talk about voter ID, the 2028 election, and if he thinks Democrats can become the “fun” party again.

They're dragging a disproved Iraq War storyline out of storage to sell a new war with Iran, and it matters because it's the kind of myth that can get people killed. We sit down with Captain Matt Ho to dissect the EFP hoax: what explosively formed penetrators were, how they were used in Iraq, and how the claim of Iranian direction or supply turned into a convenient political talking point. We also name the bigger pattern: when leaders need a clean villain, they rewrite messy history into a simple slogan. From there, we get into the competence problem driving today's Iran war narrative. Trump points to advice from Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, and we explore what happens when personal loyalty replaces subject-matter expertise, especially around Iran's nuclear program. Mixed messages about goals like regime change, “unconditional surrender,” or vague “imminent threats” aren't just sloppy, they're dangerous, because they blur the line between deterrence and escalation. We also zoom out to the strategic fallout: US military readiness, munitions constraints, and the real-world risk of energy shock tied to the Strait of Hormuz. Add in Lindsey Graham pressuring allies and the growing influence of religious nationalism, including Christian nationalism inside parts of the US military, and you get a conflict that can expand fast while staying politically incoherent. If you care about foreign policy, the Iraq War legacy, Iran war analysis, and the future of the US empire, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with someone who still remembers the Iraq War messaging, and leave a review telling us what claim you want fact-checked next.

David Rovics is a musician, songwriter, anarchist, and activist. I've been listening to David for over 20 years, having first discovered his music when the Iraq War jolted me awake and I started participating in the anti-war movement in the United States. If you're not familiar with him, you are about to learn why this is the perfect episode for St. Patrick's Day.

In this episode, we unpack the long road to the Iraq War, from the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran and U.S. support for Saddam Hussein during the Iran–Iraq War to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the Gulf War, sanctions, weapons inspections, and the Bush administration's false claims about weapons of mass destruction. We dig into how 9/11 reshaped U.S. foreign policy, how figures tied to PNAC pushed for regime change, and how intelligence around WMDs, yellowcake uranium, and Curveball helped sell the 2003 invasion of Iraq. We also cover shock and awe, Abu Ghraib, torture, Halliburton, Blackwater, civilian deaths, veteran trauma, and the trillions of dollars lost in a war that destabilized the region and left behind questions that still have not been answered.

Starmer Get a Backbone or Get Out of Number 10!  #KeirStarmer #StarmerSpeech #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #IranConflict #UKForeignPolicy #NATO #Trump "Did we really need another speech today from Keir Starmer about a war he still refuses to properly back? No. What Britain needs right now is a Prime Minister with a backbone. What we've got instead is a man playing the hokey-cokey with war — half in, half out. First he refuses permission for US aircraft to use British bases. Then he says they can… but only if it's for 'defence'. What on earth does that even mean? Either you stand with your allies or you don't. And right now the so-called special relationship looks like it's been badly damaged. The truth is Labour is still haunted by the ghost of Tony Blair and the Iraq War. They're so scared of being accused of backing another 'illegal war' that they'd rather sit on their hands.  Meanwhile tensions are rising around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important shipping lanes on the planet. British tankers go through there every day. Yet Starmer refuses to send British ships to protect them. Instead we get a lecture about subsidising fuel bills. Fuel bills? That's not leadership. That's ducking the real problem.  And then this weekend he allows yet another anti-British demonstration to take place in London. Yet he has the nerve to stand there today and say he is 'always standing up for the British people'. Standing up? Don't make me laugh. Jon Gaunt says the truth is this: Starmer isn't standing up for Britain — he's bending the knee to our enemies abroad and the extremists at home. And if you can't lead this country when the pressure is on… maybe it's time to get out of Number 10."  #KeirStarmer #StarmerSpeech #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #IranConflict #UKForeignPolicy #NATO #BritishPolitics #StarmerLeadership #UKNews #PoliticalCommentary #Number10 #UKGovernment Keir Starmer, Starmer speech, UK politics, Jon Gaunt, Iran conflict, UK foreign policy, NATO, British politics, Starmer leadership, UK news, political commentary, Number 10, UK government  This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260313.mp3 Right-click here to download this episode (“Save link as…”). New York Times (3/10/26) This week on CounterSpin: House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Brian Mast declared of Iran: “This murderous regime has posed an imminent threat against every American both at home and abroad for the last 47 years”—leading many at home and abroad to reach for their dictionaries. The Trump White House's war on Iran is unpopular in the US: “Even the highest level of public support for this conflict falls far lower than that at the start of most other conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War and the Iraq War,” reports the New York Times. That may have something to do with the parade of rationales offered; Popular Information has a roundup of the 17 different reasons the Trump regime has given to date for why we went to war. All of it normalized by corporate media that allow recorded history to be put up for debate, that pretend we haven't seen what we've seen, leaving today's warmongers free to draw up a historical narrative, or several, that serve their present purpose. As we record on March 12, some 251 groups have sent a letter to Congress demanding they vote against any additional funding for the unconstitutional war, now costing an estimated $1 billion a day. Signers included Public Citizen, the ACLU, Greenpeace, J Street, Jewish Voice for Peace and National Nurses United. A supplemental worth $50 billion, the letter notes, would be enough to restore food assistance for 4 million Americans, establish universal pre-K education and pay for the annual construction of more than 100,000 units of housing. CounterSpin has been tracking US news media failings, omissions and propagandizing on Iran for decades. We revisit some of that conversation this week, hearing from Cyrus Safdari (2009), Vijay Prashad (2012), Murtaza Hussain (2017) and Trita Parsi (2018).

For Oscar week, two half hour film-linked episodes from the archives. First my 2006 conversation with ROGER EBERT, following that year's Oscars, where CRASH beat BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN for Best Picture. The vote was controversial in the film world and the fact that a gay cowboy movie came close riled the homophobic hearts of the Christian Right. So lots to talk about. In the second half, my 2007 episode with television trailblazer, PHIL DONAHUE, who died in 2024 at the age of 88. We talk about some of his courageous choices over the years and about Body of War, the documentary he co-directed about a severely disabled Iraq War veteran. His condemnations of the Iraq War and its beginnings are sadly and infuriatingly ripped from today's news.FF_Roger Ebert_Transcript

In early February, clips began circulating from Trump's Religious Liberty Commission hearing, where the former Miss California Carrie Prejean Boller challenged Jewish activists Yitzhak Frankel and Shabbos Kestenbaum about the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the conflation of anti-Zionism and antisemitism. Notably, Prejean Boller framed her opposition to political Zionism in terms of her Catholicism: “I'm a Catholic and Catholics do not embrace Zionism,” she said. She raised the charge of deicide, reading the New Testament verse about the Jews killing Jesus and questioning a panelist about whether he would have tech platforms censor the Bible on account of antisemitism claims. And she challenged the theology undergirding evangelical support for Zionism, dispensationalism, which understands Jews as God's chosen people that help fulfill the end times prophecy by settling in the land of Israel. A number of prominent “America First” isolationists are Catholic, including Pat Buchanan, one of the fathers of America First paleoconservatism who famously opposed the Iraq War. Vice President J.D. Vance, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, far-right strategist Steve Bannon, and columnist Sohrab Ahmari are all America Firsters skeptical of foreign intervention. Catholicism also appears dominant among a cohort of extremist Groyper-style figures infusing their anti-Israel worldview with classically antisemitic language and ideas, including streamers Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens, the Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback, and now Prejean Boller, who has aligned herself with Owens in particular. On this episode of On the Nose, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel speaks with Matthew Cressler, author of the forthcoming Catholics and the Making of MAGA: How an Immigrant Church Became America's Law and Order Faith, and Julie Schumacher Cohen, co-author with Jordan Denari Duffner of the forthcoming Palestine, Israel, and Catholic Social Teaching: A Guide. They discuss how we should understand this apparent connection between skepticism about American intervention abroad and Catholicism. Cressler and Schumacher Cohen explain what Catholic theology has to say about Judaism, Zionism, and the modern political state of Israel. They explore how some figures on the right are hearkening back to the earlier days of the Church—before the Second Vatican Council's modernizing changes, which included a condemnation of antisemitism—and they dissect the antisemitic and fascist threads in the Catholic tradition that are being surfaced in Fuentes's and Owens's rhetoric.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright break down the 2025 film Warfare, a brutally realistic portrayal of modern combat reconstructed from the memories of the soldiers who lived it. Rather than glorifying battle, the film strips away the mythology of heroism and focuses on the chaos, confusion, and irreversible consequences of war on the men caught inside it. The conversation explores the film's unique production style, the psychological toll of combat, and the uncomfortable moral questions that emerge when war is viewed from multiple perspectives. Along the way, Chris and Burning Bright connect the story to larger themes about narrative control, propaganda, and the information war shaping public perception of global conflicts. From the Iraq War to modern geopolitical tensions, the episode asks whether the stories societies tell about war reveal truth or simply reinforce the narratives people want to believe.

The war in Iran enters its second week and Donald Trump declares that it's about to end — and also that it's going to last a very long time. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett react to the president's conflicting statements, the cascading global energy crisis he created, and the way Republicans — especially warmonger Lindsey Graham — are reacting to the war. Then, they discuss why some Democrats are hesitant to cut off funding for the strikes, the administration's arrests of American citizens protesting its deportation campaign, and the Trump sons' new business venture: drone warfare. Then, Tommy talks to Congressman Pat Ryan, an Iraq War veteran, about our new war and what Democrats can do to oppose it.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Jimmy and comedian, writer and actor Rick Overton light into Jon Stewart for recycling Islamophobic "72 virgin" jokes from the Iraq War era to mock Iran's response to U.S. aggression, accusing him of pushing war propaganda while ignoring critical facts. They detail how Iran only attacked U.S. military bases that were being used to bomb Iran, while Israel is simultaneously attacking Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Lebanon—facts Stewart omits to paint Iran as irrational.  Jimmy points out that Israeli agents were arrested in Gulf countries for planning bombings, confirming that Israel is actively trying to drag the region into a wider war, which former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert admits Israel wants. Jimmy and Rick conclude by noting Stewart's brother, Larry Leibowitz, was a top executive at the New York Stock Exchange, suggesting a conflict of interest that explains his silence on Wall Street and willingness to toe the establishment line on wars, Ukraine, and COVID.

────────────────────────────────────────00:00:43:19 — Iran War Compared to Iraq WMD NarrativeThe emerging conflict with Iran is framed as repeating the pattern of the Iraq War, with shifting justifications, claims of victory, and rhetoric reminiscent of the Bush administration's early war messaging.────────────────────────────────────────00:06:22:09 — “The Great Taking” and Ownership of Financial AssetsChanges in financial structures and UCC codes are described as shifting individuals from true ownership of assets to legal “claimants,” raising fears that institutions could seize assets during a financial crisis.────────────────────────────────────────00:08:20:07 — BlackRock and Private Credit Funds Blocking WithdrawalsMajor asset managers are reported to be limiting investor withdrawals, fueling concerns that financial markets are structured to restrict access to funds during periods of instability.────────────────────────────────────────00:10:07:25 — Epstein Files Contain New Allegations Involving TrumpNewly released FBI interview summaries describe allegations involving Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, including claims of abuse of a minor and discussions of potential blackmail.────────────────────────────────────────00:21:37:17 — Two-Tiered Justice System for Political ElitesThe Epstein revelations are portrayed as reinforcing the perception that wealthy and politically connected individuals avoid prosecution even when serious allegations emerge.────────────────────────────────────────00:29:12:19 — Global Campaign Against HomeschoolingEducation authorities and international organizations are described as increasingly targeting homeschooling, framing it as a threat to social cohesion while expanding state control over education.────────────────────────────────────────00:58:31:23 — Trump's “Save America Act” Election Reform ProposalTrump signals he may block legislation unless Congress passes election reforms including voter ID requirements and stricter limits on mail-in voting.────────────────────────────────────────01:06:36:01 — Iran War Escalates Into Regional Conflict Across the GulfThe conflict is described as spreading across the Middle East, with multiple states and proxy forces involved and the potential for a much broader regional war.────────────────────────────────────────01:08:08:01 — 1953 CIA Coup in Iran Framed as Root of Modern HostilityThe U.S.-backed overthrow of Iran's elected government in 1953 is cited as the historical origin of deep anti-American sentiment inside Iran.────────────────────────────────────────01:13:59:28 — Energy Crisis Compared to the 1970s Oil EmbargoAnalysts warn that disruptions tied to the Iran conflict could trigger an energy shock similar to the 1970s OPEC embargo, potentially producing severe inflation and economic instability.────────────────────────────────────────01:15:09:10 — Diesel and Jet Fuel Spikes Threaten Global Supply ChainsSharp increases in diesel and aviation fuel prices raise concerns that transportation costs will cascade through global supply chains and drive widespread price increases.────────────────────────────────────────01:37:18:23 — Strait of Hormuz Disruption Threatens Worldwide Economic ShockA shutdown or severe disruption of the Strait of Hormuz is presented as capable of triggering a global economic crisis due to the massive share of world oil shipments passing through the narrow waterway.──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Independent Americans host and Iraq War veteran Paul Rieckhoff takes you behind the scenes of his fiery CNN Newsroom clash with former Congressman and fellow Iraq vet Peter Meijer over President Trump's escalating Iran strategy and the deadly strike on an Iranian school that killed scores of children and teachers. In this raw, real-time debrief, Rieckhoff explains why Trump's rush to blame Iran despite independent analysis suggesting U.S. responsibility shreds American credibility, feels like “deja vu all over again” for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, and risks dragging America into another open-ended Middle East war most Americans do not want.​ He breaks down Trump's “all gas, no brakes” approach—from regime-change talk and operations in at least eight countries in a year without real debate or authorization, to juvenile White House war memes that trivialize the very real costs for U.S. troops and civilians across the region—while slamming both parties in Congress, including Democrats like Senator Richard Blumenthal, for failing to enforce the War Powers Act or put real guardrails on the commander in chief. Drawing sharp lessons from Iraq's 20-year quagmire, Rieckhoff warns Iran could be even more dangerous and costly if we don't learn from history—and makes the case that Americans must demand transparency, real debate and actual votes before war, now more than ever. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Markets look at geopolitical risks as temporary shocks, says Brandon Clark, urging investors to use history as guide. He explains how the current conflict in Iran compares to other geopolitical conflicts like the Iraq War and how price action will likely be more resilient than expected. Looking ahead to the mid-term elections, Brandon tells traders to "embrace volatility" even with weakness expected for the year. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

America is at war with Iran. It's the eighth time that Donald Trump has attacked another country since he began his second term (despite pledging "no new wars" during his campaign). To break it all down, we're joined by foreign affairs expert David Rothkopf and Paul Rieckhoff, Iraq War vet and CEO of the Independent Veterans of America.We take a look at the difficult history between America and Iran along with the current military campaign Trump has started in the region. Trump and his administration have yet to outline exactly WHY we are fighting, and with Americans already dying, it's no surprise that this war is extremely unpopular. Not to mention, this is costing our country a billion dollars a day and will only become more expensive as the war expands. David and Paul discuss the long term impact this might have for America and the Middle East and how it may escalate in the region and could signal a scary moment for the global nuclear arms race.READ David Rothkopf in The Daily Beast: https://www.thedailybeast.com/author/david-rothkopf/SUBSCRIBE to David's Substack "Need to Know": https://davidrothkopf.substack.com/LISTEN to David's podcast "Words Matter" with fellow friend of the show Norm Ornstein:https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dsrs-words-matter/id1420216970LEARN more about Paul's organization, Independent Veterans of America: https://independentveteransofamerica.org/LISTEN to Paul's podcast, Independent Americans: https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/independent-americans-with-paul-rieckhoff/id1457899667SUPPORT THE AL FRANKEN PODCAST BY VISITING OUR SPONSORS:Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

Today, we look at the extent to which the lessons learned from the Iraq war has shaped the UK's response to the war in Iran.Keir Starmer has taken a position somewhere between full support of Donald Trump's actions, and direct criticism of them.In a post on Truth Social, the US president criticised the UK for being less than 100% supportive, saying ‘we will remember' and "We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!"On Friday, former Labour Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair told a private event that the UK should have backed the strikes from the beginning.But is Keir Starmer's decision making being guided by some of the failures of the 2003 Iraq war, which Blair led the UK into?You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

【聊了什么】 2月28日，美以联合对伊朗发起代号"史诗狂怒"的军事打击。第一波空袭直接命中德黑兰市中心，最高领袖哈梅内伊等伊朗最高领导层当场身亡。录制本期节目时，战事已进入第八天——油价飙升，中东各国陷入战火，伊朗政权仍在运转，战争走向可能远比特朗普预期的复杂。 与此同时，中期选举的第一枪在德州打响。James Talarico击败Jasmine Crockett，赢得民主党参议员初选提名。一个年轻、看上去更温和的白人州众议员，打败了哈里斯钦点、全国知名的进步派黑人女议员——战术上的差距，还是民主党更深层问题的信号？共和党这边，现任参议员康宁以微弱优势领先帕克斯顿，特朗普至今未明确背书。 第三件事：国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆在3月5日被炒掉。直接导火索是她在国会听证会上把一笔2.2亿美元的广告合同甩锅给了特朗普。 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年3月7日晚间。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:54 "史诗狂怒"行动背景 03:24 谈判破裂还是走过场？以色列如何将美国拖下水 05:00 四个战争目标的内部矛盾：薛定谔的伊朗核能力 07:12 格雷厄姆的幕后操纵：高尔夫球场上的游说 10:55 "任务完成"的历史幽灵：与伊拉克战争对比 21:25 伊朗政权的战略逻辑 34:39 地面部队困境：空袭无法实现战略目标 40:38 《战争权力决议》投票失败：国会能做什么？ 45:43 战争对中期选举的冲击：滞胀风险与民意隐患 52:20 德州民主党初选：塔拉里科击败克罗克特 54:14 塔拉里科的底牌：基督教左派能否打开福音派市场 57:02 克罗克特为何失败 60:17 共和党初选：康宁险胜，特朗普为何迟迟不背书 66:10 克伦肖输掉众议员初选：99%的忠诚也不够用 75:07 导火索：2.2亿广告合同甩锅给特朗普 77:09 丑闻解剖：空壳公司与利益输送 79:34 诺姆转任特使：为何不能彻底踢出局 80:14 穆林接任DHS：特朗普爱上福克斯常客 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： Talich：美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 【 What We Talked About】 On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched a joint military strike on Iran under the codename "Operation Epic Fury." The first wave of airstrikes hit central Tehran directly, killing Supreme Leader Khamenei and the rest of Iran's top leadership. By the time we recorded this episode, the conflict had entered its eighth day — oil prices were surging, the Middle East was engulfed in fighting, and the Iranian regime was still standing. The war may be far more complicated than Trump anticipated. Meanwhile, the midterm election season opened in Texas. James Talarico defeated Jasmine Crockett to win the Democratic Senate primary nomination. A young, ostensibly moderate white state legislator beat a nationally prominent progressive Black congresswoman who had the backing of Kamala Harris — is this a tactical failure, or a signal of something deeper wrong with the Democratic Party? On the Republican side, incumbent Senator Cornyn edged out Paxton by a slim margin, and Trump has yet to commit to a clear endorsement. Third: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was fired on March 5. The immediate trigger was her testimony before Congress, in which she tried to pin a $220 million ad contract on Trump. This episode was recorded on the night of March 7, 2026 (U.S. time). 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 01:54 Background on "Operation Epic Fury" 03:24 Failed negotiations or political theater?

This week on “Jesuitical,” Ashley sits down with America's chief correspondent, Kevin Clarke, to discuss the widening conflict with Iran and whether the U.S. intervention in the conflict can be justified under just war theory. Then, we re-share one of our favorite interviews from last year: a conversation with Jamie Baxter, the founder & C.E.O. of Exodus 90. The program, which helps men to strengthen their faith through prayer, asceticism and fraternity, faced some early skepticism from some in the church—and the “Jesuitical” team—that gave way to greater understanding and valuable innovation.   Links for further reading:  Against Unjust and Unjustified War with Iran I regret supporting the Iraq War.

Episode 974 examines why Trump's illegal war with Iran is splintering the MAGA base and fueling Democratic victories in special elections across the country. Driftglass and Blue Gal trace how Trump won in 2016 by offering Republican voters absolution for the Iraq War disaster—then broke his sacred "No Foreign Wars" promise just like he's covering up the Epstein files. The episode dissects who gets forgiveness in American politics and who doesn't, exposing how Never Trumpers demand we forget Liz Cheney's monstrous lies while they obsess over trivial Democratic moments amplified by Fox News. It's about broken promises, selective amnesia, and why former Republicans now control the narrative while scolding the liberals who were right all along.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

On Saturday morning, Feb. 28, the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran, killing its leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei along with other senior regime figures. The following day, Pope Leo appealed for peace, urging world leaders to stop “the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm.” This week on “Inside the Vatican,” Veteran Vatican Correspondent Gerard O'Connell explains why he saw Leo's comments as relatively restrained compared to John Paul II's at the beginning of the Iraq War.

This is the new George W Bush. Trump is what Bush metamorphoses into when it comes out of its red cocoon. The crazier the US empire gets, the more insane its managers are becoming. Reading by Tim Foley.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the reasons behind the firing of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem yesterday.

Greg Kelly Reports | March 4, 2026 The killing of Iran's Supreme Leader is hailed as a historic intelligence and military success that reshapes the conflict from day one. Greg contrasts the strike with the Iraq War, arguing Trump learned from past mistakes like disbanding Iraq's military. Debate erupts inside MAGA over the Iran war, as critics warn about repeating the failures of 2003. U.S. military power is on full display — from stealth fighters to submarines sinking Iranian warships. Texas politics heats up as MAGA candidates battle in key primaries and Democrats rally behind a controversial nominee. Make the switch to NEWSMAX today!

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas speaks to two friends of the show about how Europe is responding to the war with Iran. In the first half, the Rt Hon Tom Tugendhat MP — former chair of the UK Foreign Affairs Select Committee and former UK Security Minister — discusses Britain's confused response to the conflict, and in the second half, French journalist Wassim Nasr explains France's position. Sir Tom and Wassim explain: The UK government's uncertain response to the Iran war What politicians mean when they talk about the ‘legal basis' for military action The lessons of the Iraq War and whether they are being misunderstood Iran's role in the insurgency against Western forces in Iraq The debate over designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization in the UK The state of the British military after decades of defence cuts The strategic controversy surrounding Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands France's historic Arab Policy and its effort to maintain strategic independence in the Middle East France's military agreements with the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait The E3 framework (France, Germany, UK) and its role in negotiations with Iran Macron's attempt to expand France's nuclear deterrent to cover Europe The evolving situation in Lebanon and Hezbollah's weakening position Intelligence cooperation between France, Israel, and regional partners Whether Europe is entering a new era of strategic independence Follow Sir Tom on X: https://x.com/TomTugendhat Follow Wassim on X: https://x.com/SimNasr Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm Find Conflicted on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod And YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sdlF1mY5t4 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Washington Roundtable discusses the war that the United States and Israel have started with Iran, how the conflict might evolve and affect the whole region, and the Trump Administration's rationale for launching the strikes. “I don't think we have yet heard a clear explanation of what this war is about, what they intend to achieve, what the strategic goals are, and how it's supposed to end,” the staff writer Jane Mayer says. The group also reflects on the lessons that they learned while reporting on the Iraq War about how conflicts such as these can transform societies. This week's reading: “Can Donald Trump Win a War with Iran If He Can't Explain Why He Started It?,” by Susan B. Glasser “Do U.S. Presidents Have the Power to Declare War?,” by Jill Lepore “In the Texas Primaries, a Good Night for James Talarico, and a Bad One for John Cornyn,” by Benjamin Wallace-Wells “What Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Meant to Iran, and What Comes Next,” by Robin Wright “Has Trump Thought Through the Endgame in Iran?,” by Ishaan Tharoor To discover more podcasts from The New Yorker, visit newyorker.com/podcasts.

Bioweapons labs. Weaponized crop blight. Engineered pests targeting livestock. For years, the fear has been simple: What if China doesn't fight a conventional war… but a biological one? Today, Tara breaks down explosive reporting about Chinese-linked biological threats, shifting oil leverage, and why recent U.S. military actions may have completely flipped Beijing's strategic calculus. Retired Admiral James Stavridis says recent U.S. operations are getting attention in Beijing and Moscow. Is this escalation — or deterrence? And could unpredictability be the one thing preventing catastrophe?

The world is exploding — Iran, Mexican cartels, border security, China infiltration — and Americans are asking one critical question: How do we defend our country WITHOUT repeating the disasters of Iraq and Afghanistan? This is a legitimate question to ask, and we thread the needle today with my friend Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Blair, a former Border Patrol agent and Iraq War veteran, takes us through the strategic plays of the Trump administration in Iran and the Caribbean, while also raising concerns about the shortsightedness of administration policies dealing with the Mexican cartels and prematurely declaring the border secure. America must project strength — but with discipline, clarity, and strategy. What does that balance look like?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
