Country in the Middle East
POPULARITY
On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Sen Lindsey Graham calls in and gives us an update on his South Carolina primary election today. Graham is a reliable President Trump ally, who will advance the agenda, including properly concluding the Iran conflict, protecting Israel, and pursuing broader Middle East peace. Graham's opponent is heavily funded and endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep Thomas Massie, who lack any MAGA credentials; they are more aligned with the hard left. Also, our military, on the orders of Trump, hammered Iranian positions in response to the Iranian regime shooting down one of our helicopters. How much more delay and attack we will tolerate from this enemy? This is exactly what Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu did the other night when the same enemy fired 11 ballistic missiles at its civilian populations. The U.S. and Israel should both decisively beat the hell out of Iran militarily to end ongoing delays and attacks by Iran or Hezbollah that disrupt deals. Meanwhile, MTG and Thomas Massie continue to question Israel's alliance and push debunked spying claims and the USS Liberty issue. They are fueling anti-Semitism while promoting Putin and terrorist-linked Arab regimes. Later, Southern Poverty Law Center has been exposed as one of the most corrupt, phony civil liberty organizations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
The US has said that it's completed a series of strikes against Iran which targeted air defence systems, ground control stations and radar sites following the downing of an American helicopter. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards said they hit back with strikes on US bases in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait. Also, France has said that it will ban Israel's finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, from entering the country because the far right politician has been actively promoting the annexation of Palestinian territories. Anti-immigration violence breaks out in Northern Ireland after a man from Sudan has been charged with attempted murder. Barcelona celebrates the life of the Sagrada FamĂlia architect, Antoni Gaudi, with events which include a mass and ceremonial blessing by Pope Leo.

In this episode, Jimmy criticizes former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino for reversing his position on the Jeffrey Epstein case after entering government, contrasting Bongino's past calls for transparency with his later defense of the FBI's handling of the matter. Jimmy highlights a series of social media exchanges in which Bongino mocked him personally, arguing that the attacks avoid addressing substantive questions about the Epstein investigation and document releases. The discussion also revisits an old recorded phone call between Bongino and a journalist from Politico, presenting it as evidence that Bongino deflects difficult questions with insults rather than direct answers. Throughout the video, Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger contend that federal authorities, including Bongino and his former boss Kash Patel, failed to deliver the transparency they previously promised regarding Epstein-related records and investigations. Plus a segment on how Iran's attack on Israel changes the entire Middle East power dynamic. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!
Today's show covers several major stories shaking up politics and culture. We break down the growing debate over Iran and President Trump's response, including criticism over proportional strikes and questions surrounding the administration's messaging.We also discuss the guilty verdict in the Karmelo Anthony case, the reaction outside the courthouse, the controversy surrounding his family's GoFundMe money, and Jasmine Crockett's remarks that sparked backlash online.Plus, Gavin Newsom finds himself at the center of another controversy after a social media post backfires, California voter fraud arrests raise questions, and Chip Roy presses witnesses over the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate group labels.Other topics include ICE and border funding, hospital price transparency, the Belfast riots, asylum policy, and the latest culture stories making waves online.SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW!Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose.

Even though Solomon's life is marked by the goodness and grace of God, even though Solomon has built the Lord's temple in Jerusalem, and even though Solomon's wisdom is unsurpassed, his devotion to the Lord and to his statutes wanes in his latter years. Why? Because in his power and in his lavish wealth, he has accumulated hundreds of wives for himself. In marrying wives from surrounding nations, he has disobeyed the direct command of the Lord and fallen into idolatry. As such is the case, the Lord vows to take the kingdom away from Solomon's family after he is gone. Sadly, the wisdom that Solomon had passed on to his sons doesn't take root, as the foolishness of his son Rehoboam causes a revolt and a division in the nation of Israel. 1 Kings 10 - 1:10 . 1 Kings 11 - 7:31 . 1 Kings 12 - 17:08 . Psalm 90 - 24:30 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Israel and Iran both pulled back after trading missile fire at the urging of President Trump, but each side is setting conditions that could quickly reignite the fighting and derail U.S. efforts towards a deal with Iran.It's primary day in Maine, Nevada, North Dakota, and South Carolina, with Maine Democrats picking a candidate to challenge longtime Senator Susan Collins in a race critical to control of the Senate and South Carolina offering another test of President Trump's endorsement power.And California is still counting votes almost a week after election day, drawing fraud claims without evidence from President Trump in what voting experts warn could be a preview of how he responds to the midterms.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Tina Kraja, Megan Pratz, Mohamad ElBardicy, and HJ Mai.It was produced by Ziad Buchh and Nia Dumas.Our director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Zo van Ginhoven.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, despite recent close military cooperation with Israel, President Trump's want for an Iran deal has led to significant restrictions on Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These include limiting it to a defensive war against thousands of Hezbollah missiles and drones, barring action near Beirut, and pulling back Israeli forces after responses. The U.S. would not tolerate such threats itself. Since 1948, Israel has not been free to destroy its enemies. And they've paid a price for it every time. Iran is lucky Israel is not alone, or the regime would be wiped out. Also, Gov Gavin Newsom has legalized election fraud in California by mailing ballots to every residence (regardless of moves), eliminating voter ID requirements, allowing mail-in ballots to be postmarked up to seven days after Election Day, and enabling unlimited third-party voter harvesting of ballots. These measures allow votes to be cast or delivered after initial results are known, making fraud difficult to detect or prosecute since the barriers against it have been removed by law. This sustains a one-party Democratic state. Later, Graham Platner is as a former Nazi who is now an admitted communist, has manhandled women, cheated on his wife multiple times, engaged in perverse behavior in public bathrooms, and spent years on the Kik site associated with pedophiles. Yet, Democrats dismiss these issues, urging voters to ignore them in favor of his stances on Medicare for all, destroying ICE, and defunding law enforcement. The Democrat Party prioritizes power over character. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

By the summer of 2023, it was clear that judicial reform was never really the story: The real battle was over Israel's identity. And that battle touched on the deepest fears and disagreements Israelis were too busy surviving to address ever since the nation's inception. Can an Israel occupied by a religious majority remain recognizable to the nation's secular elites? Can its institutions be reformed to better reflect the will of the country's democratically elected majority? And can Israelis resolve all of these deep and difficult quarrels and still remain one people?
Early in 2023, Benjamin Netanyahu's newly elected government announced its intention to embark on sweeping reforms to the country's judicial system. The announcement was soon met with the biggest wave of popular protests in the nation's history, dividing Israel like few issues before. But what did the reform actually propose? What were its architects trying to achieve? And what, precisely, did its detractors find objectionable? In this episode, we hear directly from the thinkers, lawmakers, and activists behind the overhaul, including the people who spent years developing the ideas that eventually became judicial reform. And we emerge with some shockingly unexpected confessions that shine a very different light on the entire conversation.
The real fight tearing Israel apart these days isn't against Hamas, Hezbollah, or even Iran. It's a struggle to answer some very urgent—and very old—questions, the same questions that haunted Zionism's founding fathers more than a century ago. Should Israel be a state for the Jews, the thoroughly modernized Vienna on the Mediterranean imagined by Theodor Herzl? Or a Jewish State, a vision championed by many of Zionism's more traditional and religious followers? In this episode, we trace the roots of a conflict that long predates Benjamin Netanyahu, the Supreme Court, or the protests of 2023, and shed light on the historic reasons that drove hundreds of thousands of Israelis to take to the streets and protest.
Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's reversal on transgender surgeries for minors, growing U.S.-Israel tensions amid negotiations with Iran, the baffling logic of some of Graham Platner's defenders, and tonight's South Carolina governor's race.First, Jim and Greg examine the hypocrisy of James Talarico, who now suddenly opposes gender reassignment surgery for minors. In 2023, he argued against a bill that would ban “medical and surgical procedures” for minors with gender dysphoria. They also address recent reports that Talarico dated two of his staffers.Next, they review rising tensions between the President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump confirmed frustration over Israel's strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Trump's concern is that Israel's retaliation could derail negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. Then, Jim and Greg break down the puzzling logic of a Graham Platner supporter who claims she would no longer vote for him if he had a tattoo of the Israeli flag. But apparently she is OK with Platner's Nazi-linked tattoo.Finally, they offer their take on the governor's race in South Carolina and criticize Republican candidate Nancy Mace's policy priorities.Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet 15% off OneSkin with code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3MLIncogniTake control of your digital footprint today. Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3ML Pocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.New episodes every weekday.Â

Episode 5429: Stealing California And Saving South Carolina; Implications Of Iran's Strikes On Israel
Maine voters will head to the polls tomorrow to decide who will take on five-term Republican Senator Susan Collins. And somehow, Graham Platner still has a sizable lead in the Democratic primary. You probably know a few things about the presumptive Democratic nominee for Maine's Senate seat. He served in the Marine Corps and now runs an oyster farm. And you've probably heard a lot of other things about Platner over the last few weeks – like about a Nazi tattoo, or his allegedly abusive behavior towards past romantic partners. None of the new information is good. But will it matter to Maine voters? And more importantly, should it? To find out, we spoke with Jon Lovett. He's co-host of Crooked Media's Pod Save America.And in headlines, President Donald Trump abruptly ends his interview with NBC's Meet the Press, Iran and Israel trade fire for the first time since the U.S. agreed to a ceasefire with Tehran, and Chinese President Xi Jinping visits North Korea for the first time in seven years.Show Notes: Check out Pod Save America – www.youtube.com/@podsaveamerica Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Israel has struck targets in western and central Iran, hours after Iran fired a wave of missiles towards northern Israel -- the first since a ceasefire was declared in April. The Israeli strikes came despite President Trump saying he did not want Israel to retaliate. Iran said its attack marked the beginning of a week of continuous strikes. Also: The presidential election runoff in Peru is close. The right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of the late president Alberto Fujimori, and her left-wing rival, the congressman, Roberto Sanchez, are running neck and neck with the lead swinging from one to the other as the vote count proceeds.

Let's be real—California politics has officially crossed into full-blown chaos, and my jaw is on the floor. When election drama, viral tattoo scandals, and even AI outperforming humans all happen in one week, you KNOW you need Tom and Drew breaking it down for you. In today's episode, Tom dives right into the wild world of mail-in ballots, voter ID controversy, fraud allegations, the truth about changing trendlines—and doesn't shy away from the emotional side of why it matters (and why everyone is wound so tight right now). Drew jumps in as always with his own boots-on-the-ground experience, calling out the difference between internet noise and “IRL” reality at the voting centers. If you want a full, unfiltered, and sometimes uncomfortably honest take on California primaries, election integrity, and why everyone loses their minds every election cycle, pull up a seat.We're not stopping there. Tom and Drew also take you into the heart of Middle East volatility—what's REALLY going on between Israel and Iran, how Trump positions himself in negotiations, and why we keep ending up in endless quagmires.

A bombshell report reveals widespread fraud in the H-1B visa system, to the point that the entire labor market in many white-collar professions has been built upon fraud and corruption for a generation. But Trump and the GOP continue to fail us and refuse to pass a foreign worker moratorium in reconciliation. Instead of seizing the ultimate opportunity to tie immigration to the economy and boost domestic labor force participation, politicians are distracted by AI bailouts and Trump's special interests. We also dive deep into the current AI bubble — why tech giants are quietly backing away from generative AI code slop — and analyze the chaotic reality of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. From the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel to the heavy influence of Gulf state wealth, this is the comprehensive breakdown the establishment doesn't want you to hear. There is a needless schism on the Right over Israel, but the way I present the issue and the path forward today should harmonize all those who claim to want to put America First without supporting Islamists. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this segment Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that a proposed NDAA provision known as Section 224 would be a pipe dream for Bibi Netanyahu by significantly undermining U.S. independence, fusing the US military with the IDF, and effectively integrating the two countries' military and technology sectors while compelling American taxpayers to fund Israel's wars. Jimmy highlights opposition from Ro Khanna and other lawmakers, who contend that the measure would expand military ties with Israel despite concerns over the Gaza war, human rights issues, and public opposition to additional aid. Supporters of the provision, including Congressmen Pat Fallon and Don Davis, argue that it is intended to improve defense technology collaboration, cybersecurity, and military readiness rather than merge the two militaries. The discussion also focuses on lobbying influence, congressional debate over U.S.-Israel relations, and the broader political implications of expanding bilateral defense cooperation. Plus segments on UFC champion Sean Strickland's ban from the White House, Candace Owens' exposé of the Macron's phony lawsuit against her and the House's recent rebuke of President Trump over the Iran war. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Arnold Schwartzenegger!

Trump to Netanyahu: "I Call The Shots" and You Have To Accept Any Peace Deal I Make with Iran | Amid Heightened Tensions Between the US and Israel, Congress Quietly Moves to Integrate US and Israeli Militaries | Scott Pelley Tells the NYT How Bari Weiss Ordered Changes to a 60 Minutes Report to Support Trump's Lies backgroundbriefing.org/donate x.com/ianmastersmedia bsky.app/profile/ianmastersmedia.bsky.social facebook.com/ianmastersmedia
How do we know when caution is wisdom—and when it's holding us back? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Dr. Meesh Hammer-Kossoy explore the story of the spies in Parshat Shlach and its connection to Tisha B'Av. Reflecting on the people's fear of entering the Land of Israel, they examine the tension between caution and courage, realism and hope. Drawing connections to later moments in Jewish history, including the Bar Kokhba revolt, the conversation asks how we balance honest assessment with the faith and confidence needed to move forward.
Started this week in Nepal, where a Sherpa's family claims he was abandoned and left to die on Mt. Everest, and then talked about an Ultra-Orthodox riot against a Supreme Court Justice in Israel. Also US primary elections, Texas high school murder trial, another family annihilation claims 6, and a guy in the UK is caught on camera throwing semen onto unsuspecting female shoppers.
This week on the Mark Levin Show, on October 7, 2023, Palestinian terrorists from Gaza, backed by Qatar, Turkey, and Iran, attacked Israel, murdering 1,200 people through extreme brutality. If drug cartels had done the same on the Texas border the U.S. would not tolerate it or fight with the restraint Israel showed in Gaza, such as issuing warnings and leaflets. Israel, a small nation, has faced ongoing attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah yet is repeatedly told to back off just as it nears destroying these groups, allowing Hamas to rearm despite a supposed peace deal. The U.S. fought Iran alongside Israel, but now pressures Israel to stop while Hamas remains armed and Hezbollah continues threats. Why is Israel not permitted to fully defend itself? Bari Weiss is a genuine journalist who is challenging CBS's entrenched radical mindset by promoting more moderate, professional journalists, which has provoked attacks from figures like Scott Pelley. There are CBS personalities like Pelley who are whiny, narcissistic, privileged, entitled buffoons who are driving down ratings. Meanwhile, Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur are complaining that they were banned from Britain over their views on Israel and terrorism, while affirming First Amendment free speech. They hate America, trash its Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment values, and support regimes like communist China, Cuba, Islamist Iran, and Turkey where free speech is suppressed—yet demand sympathy when facing restrictions themselves. There is a growing domestic Marxist-Islamist threat, funded by Qatar, China, and others, that is organizing, building enclaves, and infiltrating politics. In breaking news, there are reports of multiple explosions in Bahrain, hours after Iran claimed precise missile strikes on U.S. bases in Kuwait and the IRGC warned of further seismic responses to American actions. Iran appears emboldened rather than defeated by reading U.S. restraint as weakness. The IRGC needs to be pounded, and the Iranian people need to be armed. Later, the core defect of Marxism is its fundamental misstatement and misapplication of human nature. Rather than being an economic philosophy aimed at equality or fairness, it uses economics and redistribution as camouflage to advance totalitarianism, seeking to control individuals, thought processes, and ultimately create a society of compliant robots. This ideology, like Islam, employs appeal to compassion and justice as propaganda while intending the opposite. It cannot work because human nature, created by God, cannot be intentionally destroyed and rejiggered by man. The practical goal is demographic transformation to build dependent, like-minded societies that can be dominated, eventually extending this control nationally. The Democrat Party serves as the vessel for Islamists and Marxists to seize control of the U.S. government, as these groups avoid Republican primaries and instead target dark blue districts where primary wins guarantee victory. Low American voter turnout combined with ruthless Muslim bloc voting has enabled conquest. There are grave concerns over the ongoing war with the Islamist Nazi enemy regime in Iran, which is making increasing demands including billions in aid that should not be provided in any form, as it would only rebuild their terrorist apparatus rather than help the people. The prolonged ceasefire is a mistake after an initially successful campaign. We should have 2 weeks of massive strikes on IRGC targets and arm the Iranian people. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, there is grave concerns over the ongoing war with the Islamist Nazi enemy regime in Iran, which is making increasing demands including billions in aid that should not be provided in any form, as it would only rebuild their terrorist apparatus rather than help the people. The prolonged ceasefire is a mistake after an initially successful campaign. We should have 2 weeks of massive strikes on IRGC targets and arm the Iranian people. Also, the Lebanese president, Joseph Aoun, noted that Lebanon's official government and army are separate from the far more powerful Hezbollah, effectively creating two parallel governments and militaries. Now, amid Hezbollah's ongoing rocket fire (including during a ceasefire), Israel has re-entered to eliminate the threat permanently, focusing on Hezbollah's main base near Beirut. Aoun instructed defensive fighting only, avoiding Beirut. Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed Israel's sovereignty in protecting itself, rejecting any constraints. Later, Rep Byron Donalds calls in and reveals a direct death threat posted on social media, where someone stated they were going to kill him. While politics involves strong opinions, demonizing opponents as non-human erodes civility and can incite violence. The incident strengthened Donalds' resolve to pursue Florida's governorship and preserve the state as a conservative leader. Finally, former VP Mike Pence calls in to discuss his new book – What Conservatives Believe: Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience. Pence emphasizes that the Declaration of Independence's assertion that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness forms the core conservative principle that rights come from God, underpinning limited government. Pence notes the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion, not from it, allowing belief according to conscience. https://www.amazon.com/What-Conservatives-Believe-Rediscovering-Conservative/dp/1546011633/ref=sr_1_1?crid Learn more about your ad choices.
