Podcast appearances and mentions of Jake Sullivan

In today's explosive episode, Tara breaks down President Trump's announcement that he's willing to release the full video of the September 2nd missile strike off the coast of Trinidad — the second strike that has been shrouded in mystery and political spin.

Good morning! ☀️ Tara dives deep into what she calls a coordinated coup against Pete Hegseth — allegedly driven by deep-state actors, CIA assets, Pentagon insiders, and Democrat strategists desperate to protect their voter-drive and trafficking infrastructure.

This week, we are sharing the latest episode of a new weekly national security and foreign policy podcast: The Long Game, hosted by Jake Sullivan and Jon Finer.   Jake and Jon discuss MBS's visit to the White House and what Saudi Arabia walked away with after meeting with Trump. A major corruption scandal inside Zelensky's government just as Washington pushes for a new peace plan for Ukraine. And a tabletop exercise mapping the risks of shifting thousands of national-security personnel away from counterterrorism, cyber, and sanctions work and into immigration enforcement, and what those trade-offs mean for America's ability to respond to real threats.  You can listen to The Long Game on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other listening apps.

A ceasefire is now in effect between Israel and Hamas, and the Israeli military has pulled back from certain positions in the Gaza Strip. In the coming days, a hostage and prisoner exchange is set to begin, and hundreds of humanitarian aid trucks are expected to be allowed into Gaza.It's all part of President Trump's 20-point peace plan – a plan that closely resembles the plan President Biden unveiled in the final days of his administration. Jake Sullivan, Biden's national security advisor, helped negotiate the last ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, which ultimately fell apart. Have circumstances on the ground in Gaza – and a change in U.S. presidential leadership – set the groundwork for a different path this time?

From 2021 to 2025, Jake Sullivan served as President Joe Biden's U.S. national security adviser. He had enormous influence on the U.S. response to some of the deadliest conflicts in the world.

Jake Sullivan was the US National Security Advisor from 2021-2025. He joined our friends on The Cognitive Revolution podcast in August to discuss AI as a critical national security issue. We thought it was such a good interview and we wanted more people to see it, so we're cross-posting it here on The 80,000 Hours Podcast.Jake and host Nathan Labenz discuss:Jake's four-category framework to think about AI risks and opportunities: security, economics, society, and existential.Why Jake advocates for "managed competition" with China — where the US and China "compete like hell" while maintaining sufficient guardrails to prevent conflict.Why Jake thinks competition is a "chronic condition" of the US-China relationship that cannot be solved with “grand bargains.”How current conflicts are providing "glimpses of the future" with lessons about scale, attritability, and the potential for autonomous weapons as AI gets integrated into modern warfare.Why Jake worries that Pentagon bureaucracy prevents rapid AI adoption while China's People's Liberation Army may be better positioned to integrate AI capabilities.And why we desperately need private sector leadership: AI is "the first technology with such profound national security applications that the government really had very little to do with."Check out more of Nathan's interviews on The Cognitive Revolution YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CognitiveRevolutionPodcastOriginally produced by: https://aipodcast.ingThis edit by: Simon Monsour, Dominic Armstrong, and Milo McGuire | 80,000 HoursChapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Luisa's intro (00:01:06)Jake's AI worldview (00:02:08)What Washington gets — and doesn't — about AI (00:04:43)Concrete AI opportunities (00:10:53)Trump's AI Action Plan (00:19:36)Middle East AI deals (00:23:26)Is China really a threat?

The new President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, aka Mohammed al-Jolani, is in New York for what is widely being described as the first visit by a sitting Syrian president to the US in nearly six decades.But even more significant is another fact: it's also the first state visit to the US by a leading veteran of Al Qaeda and ISIS.Just last year, al-Sharra/al-Jolani – the founding leader of Al Qaeda in Syria and a former deputy leader of ISIS -- was on the US terrorism list with a $10 million reward for his arrest. But after leading the overthrow of Syrian president Basher al-Assad, the US has removed that designation and welcomed Jolani's ruling Al Qaeda offshoot government. After all, as Jake Sullivan put it at the outset of the dirty war in early, 2012, “Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria.”Because the US is on Al Qaeda's side in Syria, that also means overlooking atrocities under its founding leader's watch. Since al-Sharaa/al-Jolani took power, government forces have committed sectarian violence against Syria's minority groups. In March, hundreds – possibly thousands – of Alawite civilians were massacred in Syria's coastal regions. In July, hundreds more, mostly Druze civilians, were killed in Syria's Suweida region.The Grayzone's Aaron Maté speaks to members of two Syrian minority communities about the ongoing sectarian violence at the hands of a ruling Al Qaeda offshoot that the US and allies helped put in power.Guests:Dr. Morhaf Ibrahim, head of the Alawite Association of the United States.Hibbah Jarmakani, a Druze Syrian-American originally from Suweida province in Syria.

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/what-fuels-anti-india-hate-in-the-west-13932053.htmlI am personally very pro-America, yet I too have been baffled by the noises emanating from the Trump administration regarding India, particularly from one aide. Peter Navarro, apparently some trade muckity-muck, has had a field day accusing India of various sins. Apart from the entertainment value, this leads to a serious question: Why? And why now?There is reason to believe, by connecting the dots, that there is indeed a method behind this madness. It is not a pure random walk: there is a plan, and there are good reasons why the vicious attack on India has been launched at this time and in this manner. Of course, this is based on open source and circumstantial evidence: I have no inside information whatsoever.In this context, consider what is arguably the greatest political thriller of all time: "Z" (1969) by Costa-Gavras. It is based on a real-life political murder in Greece, where a popular left-leaning candidate for President was covertly assassinated by the ruling military junta.The way the plot unravels is when the investigating magistrate, masterfully played by Jean-Louis Trintignant, notices a curious phenomenon: the use of a single phrase "lithe and fierce like a tiger", used verbatim by several eye-witnesses. He realizes that there was a criminal conspiracy to get rid of the inconvenient candidate, with plausible deniability. Words and phrases have subtle meanings, and they reveal a great deal.Thus, let me bring to your notice the following tweets:* “India could end the Ukraine war tomorrow: Modi needs to pick a side” (August 5)* “Europeans love to whinge about Trump and to claim he is soft on Russia. But after 3 years it is Donald J Trump who has finally made India pay a price for enabling Putin's butchery.” (August 6)* Speaker: “[the American taxpayer] gotta fund Modi's war”. TV Anchor (confused): “You mean Putin's war?”. Speaker: “No, I mean Modi's war”. (August 28)Do you, gentle reader, notice a pattern?Now let me tell you who the authors of these posts are. The first quoted an article by an officer in the British Special Forces, which means their covert, cloak-and-dagger military people.The second was by Boris Johnson, former British Prime Minister. Johnson, incidentally, has been accused of single-handedly spiking ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine in 2022, when there was a possibility that the whole sorry spectacle of the war could have been settled/brought to a close.The third is by the aforementioned Peter Navarro on an American TV channel, Bloomberg Television.I don't know about you, but it seems to me that these three statements are lineal descendants of each other, one leading seamlessly to the next.This is how narratives are built, one brick in the wall after another. In reality, India has not contravened any sanctions in buying oil from Russia, and in fact has helped maintain a cap on oil prices, which were rising because of the Ukraine-Russia war. But then who needs truth if narrative will suffice?My hypothesis is that the anti-India narrative – as seen above – has been created by the British Deep State, otherwise known as Whitehall. First from the spooks, then from the former Prime Minister, and then virally transmitted to the American Deep State. It is my general belief that the British are behind much mischief (sort of the last gasp of Empire) and have been leading the Americans by the nose, master-blaster style.Britain has never tasted defeat at the hands of Russia; while France (Napoleon) and Germany (Hitler) have. Plus the US Military Industrial Complex makes a lot of money from war.A malignant British meme, intended to hurt Russia, is now turned on to India, which is, for all intents and purposes, an innocent bystander. Britain has had a thing about both Russia (“The Great Game”) and now India, and it was precisely why it created ‘imperial fortress' Pakistan, with which to trouble, and if possible, hurt both.Then there was the second set of tweets that took things one step further. Navarro, all warmed up, blamed “Brahmins” for “profiteering by buying Russian oil at the cost of the Indian people” in a broadcast on September 1. Why he would be bothered about the “Indian people” is a good question. But what was far more interesting, indeed hilarious, was the near-simultaneous, and absurdly wrong, set of tweets by a whole group of INDI Alliance mavens.They ‘explained', in almost identical words, that what Navarro meant was not “Brahmins”, but “Boston Brahmins”, a term coined in 1860 by Oliver Wendell Holmes, a doctor/essayist, to refer to traditional US East Coast elites, generally WASPs (White Anglo Saxon Protestants) who dominate the corridors of power in the US. Many claim to be descended from the original Pilgrims, Puritan extremists from Britain, who arrived in Plymouth on the Mayflower in 1620.They go to private (‘prep') schools like Philips Exeter Academy, then Harvard or Yale, then Goldman Sachs, then Harvard Business School, and generally end up running the country as a hereditary, endogamous caste. It is very difficult for outsiders to marry into or enter this circle, although money helps. For example the Irish Catholic Kennedy clan is part of this caste because they made big bucks (partly by smuggling liquor during the Prohibition era), even though the Irish are generally looked down upon.I have long claimed that America is full of castes like this, which include the investment-banker caste, the lawyer caste, the doctor caste: all go to the same schools, the same colleges, marry each other, etc. In fact they do form the kind of exclusionary group that the western narrative imputes to India jati-varna. Anyway that's a long story, and that's not the point: it is the tweets by, for example, Karti Chidambaram, Sagarika Ghose, Saket Gokhale, et al.They were so ‘spontaneous', so near-identical, and so outright idiotic that it is impossible that they came from anything other than a ‘toolkit' supplied by the usual suspects: the regime-change specialists. And their claim was not even accurate: Navarro was indeed targeting Hindus and Brahmins, as is evident from the following tweet. There is no earthly reason for him to choose this image of Modi, other than that he was coached into doing so.So we go back to the original question: why? Who hates Hindus so much?There are a number of other incidents where Indians (in particular Hindus) have been targeted in various countries: Ireland recently; Australia some time ago and again now, see below an anti-immigration (particularly anti-Indian) rally on August 31st; Canada with its Khalistanis running amok (lest we forget, 40 years ago, they downed Air India Kanishka).Let us note the curious coincidence that these are all countries where the British have influence: Canada and Australia are in effect their vassals. Ireland is not, and I suspect the British are hated there, but somehow in the last few weeks, this British prejudice has spilled over with “Irish teenagers” physically attacking Indians (including women and children). I wonder if the “Irish teenagers” are really British agents provocateurs.So let's put two and two together: who hates Indians, Hindus and Brahmins? Why, Pakistanis, of course. And they have been burned a little by Operation Sindoor. Pahalgam didn't quite turn out the way they thought it would, considering it was scheduled during the India visit of J D Vance accompanied by his Indian/Hindu-origin wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance. That might explain why there's a sudden explosion of social-media hatred by ISI and CCP bots against Indians.Pahalgam was Phase 2 of the regime-change operation. By so visibly targeting and murdering Hindus in Pahalgam, the Pakistanis calculated they could induce massive rioting by Hindus against Muslims, which would be an excuse for “the rules-based liberal international order” to step in, exile Modi, and um… restore order, as in Bangladesh. The usual playbook.Alas, “the best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley”, and Pakistan got a whipping instead, and some of their (US or China-supplied?) nuclear assets apparently went up in smoke. But make no mistake, the regime-change gang will redouble its efforts.Phase 1 had been the 2024 elections where there were surprising losses by the BJP. Phase 3 is the ‘vote-chori' wailing by the INDI Alliance: odd, considering nobody knows which passport(s) Rahul Gandhi holds. Phase 4 is the ongoing ‘Project 37' in which renegade BJP MPs are supposed to bring down the central government.Pakistan, and its various arms, including the Khalistan project, participate with great enthusiasm in these various phases. And for all intents and purposes, the UK has now become a Pakistani colony. Recursive master-blaster, as I conjectured: Pakistani-Britons control Whitehall, Whitehall controls the US Deep State. Here's Britain's new Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, in the words of a suddenly-awake Briton on September 6th.An Emirati strategist, Amjad Taha, asked a valid question: why is there more terrorism in the UK than in the Middle East?Wait, there's more. Here's a loudmouth Austrian who wants to dismantle India, long a Pakistani dream. And the map is by some Jafri, which sounds like a Pakistani surname. The Austrian also wants Rahul Gandhi to be the next Prime Minister.Pakistan is itself unraveling, as can be seen in Balochistan which is in open rebellion. Their Khalistani dream is new, but Kerala and the Northeast as Islamist entities were standard memes even from Chaudhury Rehmat Ali who dreamt up Pakistan in the first place in the 1930s.Pakistan just got a boost, however, with OSINT identifying a US C-17 (a giant military cargo plane) arriving to resupply Nur Khan Airbase. This raises the question again: were US personnel and assets decimated there by Indian missiles during Operation Sindoor? Is that why the US got so upset? Did Trump read the riot act to Modi, which led to the ‘ceasefire'? Now did they replenish the F-16s etc that were blown up? See, no Pakistani losses!I imagine this goes well with the newly announced “US Department of War”. I only hope the war target here is China, not India.Speaking of US internal politics, it was utterly laughable to see Jake Sullivan, President Biden's NSA, coming to the defense of India in Foreign Affairs. He directly engineered the vicious regime change in Bangladesh, but now he's full of solicitous concern! Nice little U-turn!From a global perspective, I believe that both China and the US are intent on knee-capping India. That is the logical response from an incumbent power when there is a rising insurgent power: the Thucydides Trap idea. It is a back-handed compliment to India that it is in splendid isolation, and has to pretend to rush into the arms of China because of Trump's withering assault.India will survive the hate; but Indian-Americans may find themselves in some jeopardy as the MAGA types are now focusing their ire on them.It is, as I said, the Abhimanyu Syndrome: India is completely alone (the RIC lovefest is just marketing). That is the bad news, and also the good news. If everyone (the US Deep State, Whitehall, CCP, ISI, Soros) is against India, it means India matters. Someone said India is the ultimate swing state. No: India is the incipient superpower, the only one that can make it a G3 rather than a G2. Naturally, the G2 is not very happy to let one more into their cozy club.1910 words, 7 Sept 2025 This is a public episode.

A year ago, China was globally isolated and its economy was struggling. But once Trump was back in office pursuing his own personal and political gain, the U.S. brand got tossed in the toilet and the view from Beijing got pretty sweet. Trump has allowed China to buy American microchips that could be used against our own national security interests, he caved on his own trade war with the country, and the divisions he's creating with allies in the West have made China's propaganda job a whole lot easier. Plus, the tragedy in Gaza, the evolving U.S.-Israel relationship, the one powerful way to squeeze Putin's war machine, and re-examining Biden's original plan to run for re-election.

What is America's role in a dramatically changing world? How does the health of our democracy impact other nations? In this episode we hear a rich mix of ideas in a conversation with podcaster, commentator, and former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes.“Young people today are going to have to imagine a new US government and a new set of international institutions,” says Ben. A future administration “will have to renegotiate the terms of a new international order.”This hour-long episode is a recording of a live event held on May 22 in Washington D.C., produced by the Democracy Group and The McCourtney Institute. “How Do We Fix It?” is one of eighteen network members of Democracy Group, which features podcasts about civic engagement, civil discourse and the future of our democracy.Ben Rhodes is cohost of the foreign policy podcast, “Pod Save the World”.

When the Biden administration announced the CHIPS and Science Act back in 2022, it was seen as a pivotal move to boost the US semiconductor industry and maintain America’s leadership in AI development. But the legislation was just one piece of a broader, multi-year strategy to counter China’s AI ambitions — and leading the way was Jake Sullivan, former National Security Advisor and longtime foreign policy figure. Sullivan sits down with Oz to discuss why he turned his attention to tech policy, how the Biden administration used export controls and global alliances to curb China’s technological rise, and hear his reflections on the country’s – and tech’s – role in conflicts abroad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meanwhile, airstrikes continue, and Benjamin Netanyahu openly weighs the controversial possibility of a solo Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites—despite President Trump's evident reluctance. To unpack the chaos and complexity of Trump's Middle East strategy, Israel's options on Iran, and intriguing new revelations about President Biden's health, we're joined by Jake Sullivan, former National Security Advisor under President Biden.Jake Sullivan is an American foreign policy expert who served as National Security Advisor to President Joe Biden, becoming one of the youngest individuals ever to hold the position. Previously, he was a senior policy advisor during the Obama administration, playing a central role in negotiating the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

The United States and China reached a 90-day truce in the trade war when their representatives met in Geneva in early May. Both sides agreed to temporarily roll back tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers. President Trump announced that a “total reset” in US-China relations had been achieved. Beyond the hyperbole, the two sides agreed to establish a mechanism on economics and trade and launch negotiations to address trade imbalances and other problems. Whether a deal is reached, what it might look like, and what it might include, remains to be seen. The future trajectory of US-China relations, overall, is still unclear.This episode highlights a Chinese perspective on the US-China bilateral relationship, including on the recent trade talks and the factors that will influence US-China relations going forward.

Democrats are doing their best to distance themselves from Jake Tapper and his new book about Joe Biden's cognitive and physical collapse and the cover up of it. Listen as Gretchen Whitmer and Jake Sullivan scramble to explain why they vouched for Joe Biden's abilities on the campaign trail. Hillary's private email server scandal was bad - but Joe Biden's is WORSE... as we now learn the then- VP had TOP SECRET and CLASSIFIED briefings and emails "forwarded to" his personal iPad and private Gmail account where they could have been easily hacked.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: HERE The Big Coverup The hour opens with analysis of former President Donald Trump's trip to the Middle East, including his visit with U.S. troops in Qatar and ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent a nuclear Iran without engaging in war. The hosts highlight the potential for Trump to achieve peace in the region, even speculating on his worthiness for a Nobel Peace Prize—despite media resistance. A major focus of this hour is the explosive revelations surrounding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. Clay and Buck dissect new reports suggesting Biden frequently forgot the names of his top advisors, including long-time aides like Jake Sullivan and Kate Bedingfield. They argue that this is not a recent development, but a long-standing issue that was deliberately concealed by the media and Democratic leadership. The hosts call it a “vast left-wing conspiracy” to hide Biden’s mental and physical health from the American public, comparing it to the media’s treatment of January 6 and demanding congressional hearings to investigate the cover-up. The discussion also touches on the implications of the 25th Amendment, questioning why it was never invoked despite clear signs of presidential incapacity. Clay and Buck criticize the mainstream media, particularly CNN and MSNBC, for their complicity and dishonesty, asserting that many journalists knowingly misled the public. They also question the role of Vice President Kamala Harris and First Lady Jill Biden in perpetuating the alleged deception. Did you buy the dip? The Stock Market’s recovery and falling gas prices — developments they claim are being ignored by left-leaning media outlets. They also tease breaking news about Rep. Jim Jordan’s investigation into Pfizer allegedly delaying COVID-19 vaccine trial results to influence the 2020 election, further fueling claims of widespread institutional manipulation. Trump is working on no war in the Middle East and no nuclear Iran Supreme Court Rulings Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a high-energy, in-depth analysis of the latest political and legal developments shaping the 2024 election cycle and beyond. The hour opens with a discussion of explosive claims from OH Rep. Jim Jordan, who alleges that Pfizer executives may have deliberately withheld COVID-19 vaccine trial results before the 2020 election—potentially influencing the outcome. Clay and Buck connect this to broader concerns about election integrity, media manipulation, and the growing list of revelations surrounding the so-called “rig job” of 2020. A major focus of this hour is the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on two critical issues: the legality of President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship and the constitutionality of nationwide injunctions issued by federal district court judges. The hosts break down the legal complexities, emphasizing how a single lower court judge currently holds outsized power to block presidential actions nationwide—an imbalance that undermines the separation of powers. Justice Clarence Thomas’s remarks are highlighted to show how this practice only emerged in the 1960s and has since exploded, particularly in left-leaning circuits like the Ninth. Status vs. Wealth Trump’s speech to U.S. troops stationed in Qatar, where he emphasized military strength, patriotism, and announced substantial pay raises for service members. Clay and Buck highlight the Trump administration’s success in revitalizing military recruitment and shifting the Pentagon’s focus back to national defense rather than progressive social agendas. The hosts then pivot to Trump’s diplomatic breakthroughs in the Middle East, including potential normalization with Syria and ongoing negotiations with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and even Iran. They underscore how Trump’s foreign policy is isolating Iran while strengthening U.S. alliances—moves that even some Democrats are quietly praising. On the economic front, Clay and Buck analyze new data showing falling gas prices, stable inflation, and strong retail sales, debunking fears that Trump’s tariffs would trigger a recession. They argue that the mainstream media’s silence on positive economic indicators—especially the dramatic drop in gas prices—reveals a clear bias. The hosts emphasize how lower energy costs are weakening adversaries like Russia and Iran while benefiting everyday Americans. The conversation then shifts to a broader discussion of American prosperity, with Buck explaining how the U.S. economy remains the most powerful wealth-generation engine in history. They contrast Trump’s pro-growth, pro-business policies with the Democrats’ obsession with regulation, wealth redistribution, and status-driven politics. Clay adds that even the poorest Americans enjoy a higher standard of living than most people globally, citing data that Mississippi is wealthier per capita than the UK.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- On Friday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alongside Congressmembers Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez visited the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in New Jersey—at one point trespassing which led to a confrontation with ICE officials and the eventual arrest of Mayor Baraka. ICE has released bodycam footage of the altercation which shows Rep. McIver attempting to physically shove past ICE agents. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez threatened Republicans with retaliation if Democrat lawmakers are charged with crimes for their involvement in the Delaney Hall incident. 5:20pm- During Wednesday's House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) got into a heated exchange over the deportation of illegal migrant—and accused MS-13 gang member—Kilmar Abrego Garcia. 5:30pm- While promoting his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” CNN's Jake Tapper revealed that a White House physician informed then-President Joe Biden's aides that he might require the assistance of a wheelchair in his second term if he were to continue falling. While Tapper is reporting on these stories now, why wasn't he doing so prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? According to the book, Biden forgot the names of Jake Sullivan (his National Security Advisor), Jamie Harrison (Chairman of the DNC), and Hollywood star George Clooney (whom he has known for years).

The 2025 season is officially here! Jack and Tom breakdown the Mallards vs. DBacks series, talk about the upcoming "challenge" punishment, and talk to Jake Sullivan about his monster opening day series! Enjoy!

As President Biden's national security advisor, Jake Sullivan laid out a strategy for what he called a “foreign policy for the middle class.” Using the metaphor of a small yard and a high fence, the Biden administration's approach focused on reshoring critical industries and manufacturing, supporting innovation, and protecting strategic technologies.  The strategy relied on industrial policy, tariffs and sanctions — some of the same economic tools the Trump administration is now using to launch a global trade war. The broad shift on both sides of the aisle to focused on national security, economic security, and supply chain resilience has enormous implications for the clean energy transition, from critical minerals and solar panels to batteries and EVs.  So how should we think about the relationship between economic resilience, energy security, and climate action? What lessons can we draw from the Biden administration's approach to countering China? And looking ahead, what should the U.S. prioritize when it comes to energy security? This week's episode features a fireside chat between Jason Bordoff and Jake Sullivan from the Columbia Global Energy Summit 2025, which was hosted by the Center on Global Energy Policy, at Columbia University SIPA earlier this month. Jake Sullivan recently became the Kissinger professor of the practice of statecraft and world order at the Harvard Kennedy School. He served as President Biden's national security advisor from 2021 to 2025. In the Obama administration, he was then Vice President Biden's national security advisor and deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless. Produced by Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee. Engineering by Sean Marquand. Stephen Lacey is executive producer.

As Tulsi Gabbard strips the security clearances from dozens of former Biden administration bureaucrats, the walls close in on the Deep State grifters who need the money to keep flowing. The liberal excuse mill churns a victim narrative about Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco and the 51 intel officials who signed the laptop letter now being blocked from any access to federal buildings as just one government agency, the VA, drops staggering details of fraud, waste and abuse after auditing just 2% of its programs.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Musk Derangement Syndrome: Social media users are now calling on Tesla owners to sell their vehicles in response to CEO Elon Musk's work with the Trump Administration's Department of Government Efficiency. In one viral clip, TikTok influencer Damien Slash vowed to send Tesla's stock to “zero” and questioned whether the electric vehicle company will even still exist one year from now. 3:10pm- Utah is set to become the first state to ban the use of fluoride in public water systems—Governor Spencer Cox confirmed he plans to sign a bill that will put the policy into effect in early May. 3:15pm- On Monday, the social media platform X was hit with a “massive cyberattack,” according to owner Elon Musk. Could Russia be responsible? Musk notably provided the Ukrainian military with access to his satellite constellation Starlink—allowing Ukrainians to communicate with one another efficiently on the battlefield while repelling Russian aggression. 3:30pm- In a post to social media, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard wrote: “Per POTUS's directive, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden ‘disinformation' letter. The President's Daily Brief is no longer being provided to former President Biden.” 3:35pm- Why does Rich have chopsticks? 3:40pm- According to research from the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, former President Joe Biden signed dozens of executive orders with an “autopen”—raising questions about the legitimacy of those actions. Did Biden know what he was signing? Earlier this year, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) revealed that during a closed-door meeting Biden had no recollection of signing an executive order that effectively froze new liquid natural gas export permits.

In an interview with Politico, Governor Tim Walz critiqued the campaign strategy of the Harris-Walz presidential campaign—suggesting they should have done more interviews instead of playing it safe. But, as D'Agostino notes, even friendly interviews were often disastrous for Kamala Harris. PLUS, host of The View Whoopi Goldberg says that if you oppose biological males participating in women's sports, you must think women are weak. 4:30pm- California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is now suddenly claiming it is “deeply unfair” for biological males to participate in women's sports—pivoting away from the Democrat Party's stance. Interestingly, Newsom also invited conservative Charlie Kirk on his podcast recently. Is Newsom becoming a moderate, leaving his far-left preferences behind? Rich thinks this is nothing more than a political strategy to cement Newsom's status as a 2028 presidential front runner. 5:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss reports that the Trump Administration may disband the Department of Education. Plus, will President Donald Trump pardon former Minneapolis police officer Dereck Chauvin? Dr. Reilly notes that morally, it might be the right thing to do—however, practically speaking, a presidential pardon won't accomplish much since Chauvin is also in prison on state charges. AND will Dr. Reilly be making an appearance at the Grand Hotel of Cape May later this year? 5:50pm- Rich goes 40+ minutes without taking a break—and now he has no time to do anything else. 6:05pm- Make America Healthy Again: Rich notes one of the major shortcomings of the modern food pyramid: it fails to draw a distinction between healthy fats (like those found in avocados, nuts, and olive ...

Joe Biden wanted to show Americans that there was a better path than Trumpism. He worked to build a “foreign policy for the middle class.” He centered industrial policy. He took a more competitive tack with China. He kept America out of wars. The hope was that if Americans saw foreign policy serving their interests, then that would dim the appeal of someone like Donald Trump.Then Trump won again — stronger than ever.Jake Sullivan is Biden's national security adviser and one of the key architects of this foreign policy for the middle class. In this conversation, I ask him to walk me through why he thinks the country is better off today than it was four years ago. We discuss the status of America's relationship with China and the risk of a future war; whether the U.S. should have used its leverage to force Ukraine to the negotiating table; how the enormous arms support of Israel serves U.S. interests; what Trump's re-election says about Bidenism; and more.Mentioned:Brookings speechBook Recommendations:Science, the Endless Frontier by Vannevar BushNexus by Yuval Noah HarariThe Situation Room by George StephanopoulosThoughts?
