Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. With the body of hostage Tal Haimi returned to Israel, Horovitz discusses the resilience of and emotional toll on the remaining 15 hostages' families awaiting their loved ones, and whether Hamas is playing games in the slowed process of returning the bodies. As US Vice President JD Vance arrives in Israel, Horovitz talks about his presence in Israel alongside US special envoy Steve Witkoff and White House advisor Jared Kushner, all part of the overt American role in seeing the ceasefire carried out to its conclusion. The Knesset's raucous opening session on Monday reveals deep divisions, says Horovitz, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech aimed to frame the conflict as a victory for Israel, alongside the continued battle over the legitimacy of the Supreme Court.

After a historic Middle East peace deal was signed last week, correspondent Lesley Stahl sits down for an exclusive interview with President Trump's envoys and the leading brokers of the agreement: Jared Kushner, former White House advisor and son-in-law of the president, and Steve Witkoff, Middle East envoy under Trump. Kushner and Witkoff discuss their unconventional deal-driven approach, including meeting Hamas in person, and the next phase of the 20-point peace plan, which aims to tackle thorny issues like disarmament, aid, troop pullback, rebuilding, and postwar governance. Correspondent Scott Pelley reports on the tense relationship between the Department of Justice and the courts. Pelley speaks with Erez Reuveni, a 15-year Justice Department attorney - in his first television interview – about a pattern of troubling behavior he says he witnessed before he was fired. Correspondent Anderson Cooper profiles painter Amy Sherald, best known for her portrait of Michelle Obama. He traces her rise from obscurity to becoming one of America's most celebrated living artists. Sherald explains why she canceled her own career retrospective at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, and reflects on the resilience behind her vibrant, optimistic work.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and diplomatic reporter Nava Freiberg join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff and fellow advisor Jared Kushner arrive in Israel, Berman discusses that Israel has fulfilled its first steps in the ceasefire involving Palestinian prisoners and the 'Yellow Line' to which the IDF has withdrawn in the Gaza Strip, but that Hamas has not kept its part of the bargain, with the remaining 16 hostages' bodies still held in Gaza, and the Hamas attack in Gaza Sunday that killed two soldiers. Witkoff and Kushner will meet with Israel's high-ranking officials and cabinet, says Berman, as two US advisors aim to safeguard the tenuous ceasefire that is one week old. The two US advisors appeared on "60 Minutes" on Sunday night, discusses Frieberg, unveiling details of the process and the steps that led to the announcement of the first stage of the ceasefire deal, and aspects of the more personal conversations with Hamas officials that helped push things forward.

The Washington Roundtable examines the fragile Israel-Hamas ceasefire and the uncertain road ahead, asking to what degree the Trump family's business interests in the Middle East are shaping American foreign policy. The panel discusses the financial relationships between Qatar, the U.A.E., and Jared Kushner's private-equity firm, and analyzes the intertwinement of personal profit and global dealmaking in the President's approach. “The cliché about Trump is that he's a transactional President,” the staff writer Evan Osnos says. “He's basically putting that at the center of the diplomatic discussion.” This week's reading: “The End of Israel's Hostage Ordeal,” by Ruth Margalit “Donald Trump's Dream Palace of Puffery,” by Susan B.

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 takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You Can't Deny Success A deep dive into President Donald Trump’s historic 36-hour diplomatic marathon and the groundbreaking Gaza peace deal. Clay and Buck open the hour by contrasting Trump’s high-energy international diplomacy with Joe Biden’s limited schedule, highlighting Trump’s whirlwind trip to Israel and Egypt, his speeches to the Knesset, meetings with world leaders, and the signing of a landmark ceasefire agreement that secured the release of all Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees. The hosts emphasize that this achievement positions Trump as a dominant figure in Middle East peace negotiations—surpassing past presidents from Carter to Obama. The discussion features reactions from unlikely sources: left-leaning media figures and celebrities such as Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Joe Scarborough, who publicly acknowledged Trump’s success. Clay and Buck play clips from CNN, MSNBC, and prominent Democrats praising Trump’s role in brokering peace, noting how even Trump’s fiercest critics are conceding victory. They explore whether this diplomatic triumph will resonate with everyday Americans or remain a major news story without shifting public opinion, particularly among Jewish voters. The conversation touches on cultural and political dynamics within the Jewish community, analyzing whether Trump’s achievement could influence voting trends. A Bet is a Bet Alyssa Farah Griffin, former Trump White House communications director turned TV personality, made a bet that she’d wear a MAGA hat if President Trump brought the hostages home. Where is that hat, Alyssa? Corruption Masterclass Legal trouble for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who faces allegations of mortgage fraud tied to a Virginia property. Clay and Buck break down the indictment details, including claims that James misrepresented the home as a second residence while allegedly housing family members rent-free—one reportedly a convicted felon. They debate her potential defense strategy, jury dynamics, and whether political bias could influence the outcome, while noting her high-powered legal team and the broader implications for accountability. Eric Trump Calls In A high-profile conversation featuring Eric Trump, discussing his new book Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation, which has surged to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list. Eric shares candid insights into the Trump family’s battle against what he calls unprecedented “lawfare,” including multiple indictments, media attacks, and efforts to silence their voices. He details the staggering cost of defending against politically motivated investigations, the Russia collusion hoax, IRS leaks, and social media censorship, framing these challenges as part of a broader fight for free speech and constitutional values. The discussion also highlights President Trump’s historic achievement in brokering Middle East peace, a diplomatic breakthrough that even mainstream media and late-night hosts acknowledged as impressive. Eric emphasizes how Trump’s business acumen and results-driven mindset—shared by figures like Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff —enabled him to succeed where career politicians failed. The segment underscores Trump’s resilience, his “superhuman” focus, and the enduring energy behind the MAGA movement, which Eric calls “the greatest political movement in American history.” Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8 For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/ Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media: X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about America’s global dominance and the underappreciated strength of the United States in 2025. Highlighting the country’s share of global GDP and unmatched military capabilities, he emphasizes that the U.S. remains the “indispensable nation.” Drawing from a piece by Frank Rodriguez, Brett explores America’s cultural and technological leadership, while criticizing China as a “bandit country” that steals innovations rather than creates them. He contrasts this strength with what he views as the self-defeating narrative of Democrats, who, he claims, blame America for global issues. Brett also targets figures like Greta Thunberg, J.B. Pritzker, and John Bolton, calling them irrelevant or misguided, and mocks media figures such as Dana Bash and John King for their past takes on Middle East policy and Donald Trump’s influence. We're joined by Michael Whatley from North Carolina to talk about the recent breakthrough in the Middle East hostage crisis and the broader implications for U.S. leadership under President Trump. Whatley, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, praised Trump’s use of American strength and diplomacy to secure the release of hostages from Hamas, calling it “the most transformative presidential term of our lifetime.” He also criticized Democrats for refusing to give Trump credit, despite global acknowledgment of his role. The conversation touched on Whatley’s support for Trump, the Medal of Freedom awarded to Charlie Kirk, and the importance of strong leadership in facing domestic and international challenges. Whatley also addressed concerns over the potential Schumer-led government shutdown, emphasizing the need for a Republican Senate to advance the America First agenda. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about President Trump’s high-stakes trip to the Middle East and the successful release of 20 hostages—an event both call one of the most consequential moments of his presidency. They discuss the president’s energy, his deal-making prowess, and the behind-the-scenes efforts of key figures like Jared Kushner and Steve Whitcock. Bo also shares what he and the Good Morning BT team have coming up on tomorrow’s show, including an interview with Major General John Meyer about the recent Pentagon hack and national security concerns. In addition, Sean Flynn from the CRVA will join to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Bojangles Coliseum Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

This is the full show for October 14, 2025. 0:30 A federal judge has ruled that President Trump cannot deploy the National Guard to defend ICE facilities from violent attacks. What happens when unelected judges can stop a president from protecting federal property and law enforcement officers? 10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump is in the Middle East to oversee the implementation of the first steps of his peace agreement.

As the media celebrates these unions as a modern evolution of love, we have to ask: Is this genuine commitment, or a social experiment built on identity labels? 16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the emotional videos of Israeli hostages being reunited with their families — scenes of joy, relief, and divine grace that have moved millions around the world. The Mamas reflect on the faith, perseverance, and leadership that made these reunions possible, giving thanks to God and recognizing the unlikely figures — from President Trump to Jared Kushner — who helped open the door to peace. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:30 We tackle the latest internet chatter surrounding Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and the Middle East — including wild claims that the former president wants to turn Gaza into a luxury resort lined with Trump hotels. Is there truth to it, or just more conspiracy fuel? 26:30 We Dig Deep into Katie Porter’s latest political missteps and what they mean for her gubernatorial ambitions in California. From a tense interview where she threatened to walk out, to resurfaced videos of her berating staffers, we analyze how Porter’s abrasive reputation is affecting her standing with voters. We also explore the double standards in political coverage—how media perception can differ based on gender—and what her history of anger management issues might mean for her future in politics. 32:00 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 Representative Ilhan Omar has endorsed Somali-American candidate Omar Fateh for mayor of Minneapolis — a self-described democratic socialist. We unpack what this endorsement reveals about the shifting political landscape in Minnesota, and how decades of demographic and cultural changes have shaped the city’s identity. 36:00 We take a look at Marco Rubio’s tenure as Secretary of State and his transformation from political rival to key diplomat in the Trump administration. We discuss his approach to America First foreign policy, his effectiveness compared to historical Secretaries of State like Thomas Jefferson, James Baker, and George Marshall, and contrast him with recent officeholders. 40:30 Speaker Mike Johnson took to the microphone today, declaring what he says many Americans already feel — that the Democratic Party has lost its direction. Even a couple of Democrats are straying from the main message and saying, “Whoa!” 42:00 And we finish off with some words of wisdom from Chirstopher Columbus.

BREAKING NEWS: 7 of the 20 October 7 hostages RELEASED! Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson praise Trump’s leadership, portraying him as uniquely capable of achieving peace through strength. They contrast this with Biden’s and Obama’s foreign policy, which they characterize as weak and enabling of terrorism. The Red Cross is facilitating the transfer of hostages held underground in Gaza for over two years. The first seven hostages have been handed over, with the full release expected by noon (Israel time). In exchange, Israel is releasing about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including: 250 serving long sentences, 1,700 detained during the conflict, and The remains of 28 deceased hostages. Endorsements & Reactions – The podcast includes audio clips & quotes from Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Benjamin Netanyahu, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff. Clinton is depicted as praising Trump’s deal (a rare bipartisan gesture), while Obama’s response is described as “classless” for not naming Trump. Foreign Policy Narrative – Trump’s bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities and his “peace through strength” doctrine are credited for pressuring Hamas into negotiations. The Biden administration is blamed for previous instability, alleged funding to Iran, and a weak stance toward Israel. Government Shutdown Continues: U.S. government shutdown goes on, the “Schumer shutdown”, as Democrats keep prolonging it. When will it end? We discuss it. Closing Remarks – The episode ends with Cruz offering religious gratitude (“Praise God”) and both hosts congratulating Trump, Netanyahu, and Israel. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

With a reportedly historical peace agreement made in the Middle East war has been averted and the world will finally be a harmonious place to live for all people. Sure, if you believe in the framing of that narrative. Reality is much different. The so-called “peace” deal was only agreed upon for two major reason: one, the President had to ensure Israel would not break it, because this is all they have ever done to such agreements; and two, because Jared Kushner was the architect, the same guy who wants to build, with Trump, a resort in Gaza. At home it was Stephen Miller who is credited as the architect of a militarized police state, the same guy behind White House policy who said the President is now operating with “plenary authority,” total authoritarian rule. How naive are we? Within hours of the peace announcement, Israel was claiming its enemies were simply regrouping and that soon an American city may be in the crosshairs of a nuclear attack from Iran. This is just days after we were told that terrorists were going to dress like the Village People and bomb hospitals in the US. Since the President has been labeled a “savior” and “messiah” of the Jewish people by Mariam Adelson, it appears the plan is set. The peace will not last long and will be violated in a way that triggers a larger war. The nihilists will be unleashed, Christianity and Islam will go to war, and the Jewish state will fulfill their Talmudic prophecy about the antichrist; about non-Jews becoming servants of Jews. The push for Armageddon optics is so obvious and yet Christians tend to go along with it because what it implies for their own belief. The notion that America should invest only in Israel, ban other religions, and create a Judeo-Christian theocracy is a growing cancer. In this way, it appears that Jesus himself is the reason for the treason. Otherwise, one does not need Jesus or Christianity to have a safe, clean, high-trust, advanced society. When Jesus is weaponized, he becomes a destructive tool of conquest and control. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

C dans l'air du 13 octobre 2025 - Paix à Gaza : le plan de Trump peut commencer…"Un triomphe incroyable pour Israël et pour le monde". Donald Trump n'avait pas assez de superlatifs, ce midi, pour se féliciter de l'accord de paix entre Israël et le Hamas, devant les députés israéliens de la Knesset. Ce matin, les 20 derniers otages retenus par le Hamas ont été remis à la Croix-Rouge, puis à l'armée israélienne, après 738 jours de captivité. Dans l'autre sens, plusieurs centaines de prisonniers palestiniens enfermés dans les geôles de l'État hébreu ont été libérés sur les 2 000 prévus. Pendant ce temps, une vingtaine de pays dont les États-Unis, la France, mais pas l'Iran, se réunissent en Égypte pour un sommet sur l'avenir de Gaza. "Nous allons avoir un rôle tout particulier pour être aux côtés de l'Autorité palestinienne et veiller à ce qu'elle ait sa part", a notamment réagit Emmanuel Macron à son arrivée. Le cessez-le-feu et le retour des otages acquis, le plan de paix pour Gaza prévoit la démilitarisation du Hamas et la mise en place d'une force internationale de maintien de paix, puis la reconstruction de la bande de Gaza. Dès l'annonce du cessez-le-feu vendredi, près de 200 000 Palestiniens ont entamé leur retour dans le nord de l'enclave dévasté par deux ans de guerre. Reste à éclaircir plusieurs points de l'accord sur la future gouvernance du territoire palestinien : si le Hamas a exclu d'y participer, il refuse aussi sa démilitarisation.C'est dans un Gaza en ruine que des centaines de milliers de Palestiniens ont entamé leur retour ce week-end. Donald Trump et Benjamin Netanyahou, les architectes de l'accord de paix avec le Hamas, n'ont pas oublié leur projet de riviera de luxe évoqué il y a quelques mois. Interrogé à ce sujet, le président américain a répondu : "Il faut s'occuper des gens en premier, mais cela va commencer très rapidement." Parmi les futures personnalités qui devraient chapeauter la reconstruction de Gaza, l'ancien Premier ministre britannique Tony Blair, l'émissaire américain pour le Moyen-Orient Steve Witkoff ou encore le gendre de Donald Trump, Jared Kushner.

The Beast's Joanna Coles and Trump Chronicler Michael Wolff dive deep into Donald Trump being snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize and the forces driving his obsession with recognition. They explore the pivotal role of Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, who balances family loyalty, high-stakes diplomacy, and billion-dollar business opportunities in the Middle East. From navigating complex deals with the Saudis and Qataris to leveraging influence for both profit and power, Coles and Wolff reveal how Trump's desire for validation intersects with Kushner's strategic maneuvering. The episode unpacks ambition, risk, and reward at the highest levels, showing how peace, personal gain, and political calculation collide in the Trump crucible. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. What may have been the final Saturday night protest calling for the release of the hostages took place last night in Tel Aviv. In an unprecedented appearance, on stage at Hostages Square were US envoy Steve Witkoff, the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and his wife, the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump. Schneider describes the scene at the square at gives highlights from Kushner's speech. Has Israel fully signed on to end the war? Overnight Friday, the cabinet voted on and ratified the implementation of phase one of the Trump plan. Schneider, who spent several days digging into the issue, explains. The Israel Defense Forces completed a withdrawal to agreed-upon deployment lines in the Gaza Strip on Friday at noon, officially beginning a ceasefire and a 72-hour countdown during which Hamas is to release the 48 hostages it is holding under the first phase of the US-brokered deal. Fabian delves into where the troops are now and what to expect from the hostages' release. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation will reportedly keep its aid distribution sites in the Rafah area of the southern Gaza Strip shuttered over the coming days, during the release of the hostages held by Hamas. Fabian explains what we know about the continued efforts of the GHF now that the IDF has left areas where it was operating. And finally, Fabian describes an early Saturday morning bombed hundreds of heavy engineering vehicles that the IDF said were being used by Hezbollah to restore its infrastructure in southern Lebanon. Could this sort of strike be a model for how the IDF will operate in the Gaza Strip during the ceasefire? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

More photos and videos on askajew.substack.comGood morning from a different Israel,Something feels lighter in the air today. It's been this way since I landed yesterday and probably started Wednesday evening when Trump announced a deal had been reached to release all remaining hostages and end the war. Israelis managed to not get their hopes up for about 30 seconds, but the joy in the faces of the hostage families – a light we had never seen before – was too infectious. If I could describe the mood here, I'd say it's a cautious euphoria. Then again, contradictions are nothing new to us.The almost-24-hour newsrooms are posting “highlight reels” of the war, coupled with hopeful,l yet not-quite-upbeat ballads like Arik Einstein's “A song that comes after the war ”. The mood is of graduation, and end of an era, wrap-up. The news panels are full of the usual crowd of retired generals, politicians, and journalists are discussing the sustainability of the agreement, the uncertain future, the tenuous political landscape, and other things that we can worry about…tomorrow.For now, we wait. There's something so special about moving through the streets here and knowing that every single person you interact with - from your family to the cashier at the supermarket – is going through the exact same thing. Every conversation ends with something like “hopefully by the next time I see you…” or “let's hope tomorrow we'll get some good news”.Yesterday at hostage square in Tel Aviv (rumored to soon be renamed “returning square” – it sounds better in Hebrew), I stood in a line of strangers waiting to hug Dani Miran, father of hostage Omri Miran. He was beaming. I said something about miracles and he corrected me: “I don't believe in miracles. I believe in the power of our people”.Later that evening, 100,000 of us people gathered to support the hostage families and hear Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump address the crowd. People carried American flags and signs that read “Thank you President Trump” and “End this f*cking war”, a nod to an allegedly tense conversations between Trump and Netanyahu. There were cheers at every mention of Trump's name, and Boos at mentions of Netanyahu. Loud cheers when Jared Kushner mentioned peace for the people of Gaza as well, and even louder cheers when he thanked the IDF.If you've only been following the conflict through the black and white lens of social media, these seem like huge contradictions, but they make absolute perfect sense here. 66% of Israelis want the war to end, but do not confuse them for pacifists or allies of the groveling, frankly pathetic global left. It is not kumbaya and hand-holding we yearn for. We want peace because the only other option in the Middle East is war.When I posted something along these lines on X, I got some pushback from people who reminded me that it's hard to make peace with those who vow to slaughter the Jew when he hides behind the stones and the trees. But peace is made with enemies, not friends, and in reality it looks very different than the one starry-eyed college students in the west envision. Here in the Middle East It means the enemy is deterred, and soldiers can go back to their lives, their jobs and their families. It means normalcy and life, and that is what we cherish above all.I will write more in the coming days, but hopefully, by the next time we speak…More photos and videos on askajew.substack.com This is a public episode.

President Trump's Middle East envoy has told a packed rally of relatives of Israeli hostages and their supporters in Tel Aviv that they were coming home. Steve Witkoff's remarks come ahead of Monday's expected release of 48 living and dead hostages by Hamas, as part of the Gaza peace deal. Mr Witkoff praised President Trump -- to cheers -- as well as the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu -- whose name was booed. We speak to a doctor at one of the Israeli hospitals where they're expected to arrive.Also, protests in Madagascar, where at least twenty two people have been killed in recent weeks. And the Hollywood actress Diane Keaton has died. She was 97. Known for her versatility, Diane Keaton first became famous in the early 1970s when she appeared in the Godfather films. She later won an Oscar for her role as Woody Allen's love interest in the 1977 romantic comedy, Annie Hall.

Israel's government has agreed to the first phase of President Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of all remaining Israeli hostages. A ceasefire is expected to take effect within 24 hours, with hostage releases to follow within three days. Under the deal, Israel would free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, begin withdrawing troops from parts of Gaza, and allow hundreds of aid trucks to enter the Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hailed the move as a 'momentous development' and thanked President Trump, as well as US aides Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Also: a man convicted of raping Gisèle Pelicot, the woman at the centre of a high-profile trial in France, has had his sentence extended; New York's Attorney General, Letitia James, has been indicted on federal charges of bank fraud; India's southern state of Karnataka has approved a plan to grant one day of paid menstrual leave per month; how a new AI arms race is transforming the war in Ukraine; a behind-the-scenes look at the race for the Nobel Peace Prize; and why the DNA of naked mole rats could hold the key to a longer life.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas based on the Middle East peace plan pushed by President Donald Trump was ultimately landed after Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff joined the key negotiators this week to push the plan over the finish line. Playbook's Adam Wren and POLITICO national security reporter Eric Bazail-Eimil walk through how it all came together, what to watch in the days and weeks to come and how things could still fall apart.

David Waldman places our basinet at the Gateway to Chaos, rings the bell and slips away, but first sings us one more two-hour lullaby: If only María Corina Machado went fishing more often, Donald K. Trump would be painting his TRUMP Nobel Peace Prize gold today. Now, who does he have to blow up to score next year's? The tough part for Donald will be pretending to be humanitarian for yet another year, the easy part will be that Bibi will let him declare peace every year if he wants. Trump only has to have his boy Jared Kushner “get to a yes” first, and then… Well, then there is no “second step”. Of what use would be a “second step”? Trump has found less use for peace in this country. Stephen Miller said the words “plenary authority” out loud on CNN, then had to pause to orgasm. National Guard units in Chicago are now useless, even for picking up the trash. Kristi Noem will remind people in airport lines that “Ignorance is Strength”. With James Comey, and now Letitia James, the goal is to get to an indictment. Again, there is no second step. A judge won't let Trump regulate federal elections. Soon, he won't need to. Meanwhile, election denier/Andrew Tate fanboy Paul Ingrassia is set to be installed to watch over elections and would also like to be installed to watch over female employees.

Father of captured Israeli soldier speaks out after Gaza peace deal announcement Israel's cabinet approved a ceasefire agreement to end the war in Gaza and bring hostages home. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked President Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for their role in the talks, as Mr. Trump prepares to visit the region amid ongoing uncertainty over the deal's details.

In this wide-ranging episode (aired 10/10/2025) the host opens with the show's signature “Word on Word” segment—comparing Proverbs 19:20–21 and John 10:10—and invites listeners to weigh which passage resonates most. From there he shifts into a deep, skeptical look at the newly announced Gaza peace deal: why the crowds and celebrations may be misleading, why the host believes the ceasefire's terms hide important leverage and payoffs, and how political and real‑estate interests (with references to Trump, Jared Kushner, and Israeli leaders) could be shaping outcomes. He highlights a reported Oval Office phone apology by Netanyahu to Qatar as a revealing moment and argues the “devil is in the details.” The episode also critiques mainstream and social media narratives—algorithmic war‑profit incentives, left/right polarization, and sensationalism—and the host confesses frustration with false or amplifying stories, including an on‑air apology for briefly sharing a fake summons document (created by Meme World). Moving beyond geopolitics, the host explores broader concerns about surveillance, AI, and the so‑called Great Reset: Trump's role in advancing biometric and crypto initiatives, Israel and AI breakthroughs, and a controversial reading of Revelation that considers AIs and corporate powers as prophetic actors. He ties these themes to cultural control, the WEF, and generational power structures. The episode includes audio clips and mentions from public figures—Joe Rogan, Candace Owens (as a political troll case study), and archival Rush Limbaugh material—to illustrate media tactics and political theater. There's also discussion of the U.S. government shutdown, prosecutorial controversies, and unsettling material on Hunter Biden's laptop referenced in the monologue. A major portion previews a new paid course and forthcoming book the host has spent six weeks developing: “God's Repeating Patterns.” He outlines 15 concise modules covering creation, the sun, moon, stars, the firmament, heaven, the role of Adam and Christ, and a final “big reveal” that he says synthesizes scripture into a single image. He explains pricing plans, an affiliate program, free scripture lists, and a money‑back challenge for substantive critiques. He invites feedback and promises to release some free content and a lower price later. The episode closes with pastoral notes—an apology for the earlier mistake, an invitation to Saturday prayer on Telegram, a tease for an upcoming study through Corinthians, and a call to love God, family, and neighbor while staying engaged in local community. Listeners should expect a mix of scripture study, political analysis, prophetic interpretation, media critique, and a detailed course preview. Thank you for Listening to Right on Radio.

Today, Morgan, Martha, Jamil, and Andrew unpack the implementation of the Israel-Hamas peace agreement. The first phase includes the return of Israeli hostages, the exchange of Palestinian prisoners and limited Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Jared Kushner has also returned to the diplomatic stage—a possible sign for the Trump administration's plans for the region. But major questions remain about Hamas's disarmament, Gaza's long-term governance, and the durability of a ceasefire.Can this plan truly hold, or is it just another fragile truce in a long line of short-lived deals? Will the United States sustain pressure on both Israel and Hamas to implement each phase? And with Kushner's return and growing regional buy-in, could this moment mark not only a breakthrough in Gaza but a broader turning point for Israel-Arab normalization?@morganlroach@marthamillerdc@jamil_n_jaffer@AndrewBoreneLike what we're doing here?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As negotiating heavyweights White House special envoy Steve Witkoff, Middle East envoy and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and Israel's Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer arrive for talks in Egypt, Magid surmises that it's crunch time for the potential Gaza deal. He expects discussions to revolve around thornier issues, such as disarming Hamas, and which Palestinian prisoners the terrorist group is demanding in exchange for the remaining hostages. Following the Kumu (Rise Again) ceremony held to mark October 7 in Tel Aviv on Tuesday night, Steinberg discusses the speakers, singers and audience at the event, which is run by bereaved and hostage family members, and is not an official government event. Steinberg also talks about "Red Alert," the new October 7 drama series about four intertwined stories of survivors from that day. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty to two criminal charges today at his arraignment. Democrats accuse the Justice Department of political persecution, but Republicans say Comey could be facing further charges following a report alleging his FBI spied on conservative lawmakers.President Trump announced today that he may travel to the Middle East this weekend as his negotiators work to seal a Gaza hostages-for-ceasefire deal, saying the agreement is “very close.” Negotiators have been meeting in Egypt, with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner also joining the talks.Trump held a roundtable Wednesday afternoon at the White House focused on Antifa. He accused the group, recently designated a terrorist organization, of “carrying out a campaign of violence against ICE agents and other officials charged with enforcing federal law,” and said federal law enforcement will be “looking very strongly at the people funding these operations.”

This week we talk about Electronic Arts, 3DO, and the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.We also discuss Jared Kushner, leveraged buyouts, and loot boxes.Recommended Book: Bandwidth by Dan CarusoTranscriptElectronic Arts, often shorthanded as EA, was founded in 1982 in California by a former Apple employee named Trip Hawkins, who also went on to found the ill-fated 3DO company, which made video game hardware, and the somewhat more prolific, but also ultimately ill-fated casual game developer Digital Chocolate.EA, though, has been an absolutely astounding success. It's business model was predicated on the premise of selling video games directly to retailers, rather than going through intermediaries. This allowed them to gain more market share than their competitors right off the bat, and it helped them glean higher margins than their competitors from each direct sale, too.EA also established an early reputation for treating its developers really well. They were the first gaming company to feature their developers in advertising and to give them platforms, promoting them as video game artists, basically, and it shared the profits netted from those direct sales with these develops—which in turn meant all the best developers really wanted to work for EA, which led to a beneficial cycle where they created better and better, and more and more financially successful games.In the late-80s, they started deviating from this model somewhat, scooping up a collection of successful independent game development studios and deviating, at times, from the creative lead's vision when releasing their games. They also refocused a fair bit of their resources on franchises, like the immensely successful, as it turned out, Madden NFL series, and they branched out into producing games for the console market, including the still-new Nintendo Entertainment System, in 1990.That same year, EA went public on the NASDAQ, the company got new leadership when Hawkins decided to refocus on his far less successful 3DO hardware startup, and in an interesting twist, the arrival of the Sony Playstation in North America caused EA to drop support for 3DO hardware in the mid-90s so it could refocus on Playstation games, which were a lot more lucrative.By the mid-90s, EA had an astonishingly large and successful software library, including franchises like the aforementioned Madden games and the FIFA soccer games, but also celebrity-tied games like Shaq Fu, and military shooters like Jungle and Urban Strike.By the early-2000s, EA was making exclusive licensing deals with the NFL and ESPN, in order to stave off newfound sports game competitors, and it was the only video game company to consistently make a profit, most others experiencing feast and famine cycles, with periodic wins, but a whole lot of losses they had to cover with the profits from those wins. EA, in contrast, had a reliable stable of profit-sources, and it thus had a whole lot of leverage in terms of attracting and retaining talent, but also getting big names and brands on board, for collaborative projects.What I'd like to talk about today is what happened to EA during and following the 2008 economic crisis, and how and why it recently became an acquisition target for Saudi Arabia.—In 2008, when the global economy was collapsing, EA suffered a bad holiday sales season and fired 1,100 employees and closed 12 of their facilities early the following year. Later in 2009, the company announced the firing of another 1,500 employees, which was about 17% of their total workforce at the time, and in 2010 they acquired a gaming company that focused on mobile games, which were becoming increasingly popular, now that many people had touch-capable smartphones, which brought hot new franchises like Angry Birds under their brand umbrella.On the strength of that acquisition and all those downsizings, in early 2011, EA announced that it hit $3.8 billion in revenue in the financial year for the first time, and in early 2012, it announced it surpassed $1 billion in digital revenue during the previous year, which was a huge figure that early in the digital media landscape. It used some of those profits to scoop up another mobile-first gaming company, adding properties like Plants vs Zombies and Peggle to their library.EA completed another mass-firing in 2013, dismissing 10% of their employees under what they called a reorganization, around the same time they announced an exclusive license with Disney that would allow them to develop Star Wars games.Their stock value boomed in the following years, as a result of those cost-savings measures, and those new relationships, and emboldened by record-high stock valuations, in the mid-20-teens, the company started releasing big-name games, like Star Wars Battlefront 2, with random-content loot boxes and other sorts of microtransactions.This did not go over well with players, who decried these in-game purchasing options as ‘pay to win' mechanics, as players could pay more money to get better characters and equipment, and a lot of the content, even after paying for the expensive games, was still locked behind paywalls, requiring more payments to unlock that content. A bunch of gaming journalists cried foul on this shift as the game careened toward its full release, as did a whole lot of early players, and Disney complained, too, so by the time it hit shelves, the game's loot system was substantially changed, but that whole controversy spooked investors, and led to an 8.5% stock value drop in just a single month, knocking $3.1 billion from the company's valuation. As a result of that controversy, EA also became the face for a larger legal and legislative debate about in-game purchases and how it's kinda sorta like gambling, from that point forward.Soon after, EA experienced a series of bad quarters, including a huge drop of 13.3% to its valuation when a major entry in one of their larger franchises, Battlefield V, was released late, and received very mixed reviews when it was released, which led to a million fewer sold copies than anticipated. The game was also lagging in terms of gameplay behind smaller, nimbler competitors, including then-burgeoning Fortnite.The company saw an overall boost with the surprise success of Apex Legends, and the COVID-19 pandemic boosted sales dramatically for a while, since everyone was staying home, which allowed EA to gobble up a few more competing companies with successful franchises, and they knocked out a few more successful Star Wars games, as well.In early 2021, Saudi Arabia's public investment funds bought 7.4 million shares of EA for about $1.1 billion, which flew under the radar for most gamers, but that'll be important in a moment.Later that year, the company experienced a massive hack, a lot of its data, including the source code for games, stolen and sold on the dark web. EA bought some more competitors, but word on the street in 2022 was the the higher ups at EA were quietly shopping the company around, themselves looking to be acquired by a larger entity, on the scale of Apple or Disney.In early 2023, the company announced more mass-layoffs and launched another internal reorganization. It gutted several of its most popular gaming sub-brands, including BioWare, it cancelled an upcoming Star Wars game, and it announced that it would be shifting away from licensing agreements and refocusing on EA-owned IP.The pattern of layoffs leading to better financial fortunes didn't pay off this time, though. In early 2025, EA divulged that it expected to underperform in the coming year, several of its big-name titles not doing as well as expected; the company cast blame on the market, but players and journalists pointed at the company's gutting of its big-name studios, and the firing of many of its veteran developers to explain the reduced sales.EA had another mass-firing in April of this year, and followed by another in May, which paralleled an announcement that they would no longer be moving forward with a big, planned Black Panther game.In late September of 2025, EA announced that it had reached a deal, worth $55 billion, to go private, no longer selling shares on the stock market, with the financial assistance of a group of investors, which included Affinity Partners, which is led by Jared Kushner, US President Trump's son-in-law, Silver Lake, which is a US-based private equity firm that helps make these sorts of big sales happen, and the aforementioned Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.This deal isn't done yet, it still needs to get regulatory approval and a successful vote by stockholders, but it seems likely to go through, since the US regulatory environment is pretty lax at the moment, and because Kushner is involved, it's unlikely President Trump will take a personal disliking to it.But the big story here seems to be that Saudi Arabia is buying up not just a video game company, but one of the biggest and most successful video gaming companies in the world, which, although it's lost a lot of fan-credibility over the years, still owns some massively influential intellectual property and has just a stunning number of relationships and connections throughout the media world, alongside its huge valuation.If the sale does go through, and we should know for sure by sometime around June 2026, it would be the largest-ever leveraged buyout, which means the purchase was completed by using borrowed money that was borrowed against the asset being purchased; so those investors have taken out debt against EA itself, which is an increasingly common means of buying a large asset on the cheap, but it also typically burdens that asset with a simply astounding amount of debt which must then be recouped, often by selling off undervalued assets.When this happens to a newspaper, for instance, the buyer will often sell off the paper's real estate and fire all their employees, to make money and pay off that debt, and in this case, there's a chance that debt will be paid by throwing up a bunch of new paywalls and really leaning into those in-game transactions that nobody really liked, including politicians, back in the day, but which in this current regulatory environment would probably be allowed, and they would probably make some serious bank off of it initially, before players started getting wise and moving on to other games released by less predatory companies.The really interesting facet of this story, though, is the question of why Saudi Arabia wants a video game company.And to understand that, it's important to understand that, first, the country's Public Investment Fund is meant to help its economy shift away from purely extractive resources, like oil, and it has thus invested in all sorts of things, including luxury beach resorts, minority stakes in financial service companies like Citigroup, stakes in companies like Disney and Boeing and Meta, and increasingly, investments in companies run by allies of President Trump, like the aforementioned Affinity Partners, which was formed by Jared Kushner.So this is an economic play, but also a political play, almost certainly, by the Saudis, to get in good with the people who are in good with the US government.It's also been alleged that this might be an attempt by the Saudis to engage in what's being called game-washing, which is similar to greenwashing, but instead of trying to make a company seem green and sustainable by doing kinda sorta green things, but only as a veneer to cover up the opposite, in this case it means using sports and video games and the like to increase a nation's reputation with humanistic seeming things, despite, well, the truth being much more complicated.Just as when the Fund participated in buying a Premier League football, a soccer team, back in 2021, then, alongside their concomitant establishment of LIV Gold, a golf league meant to compete with the PGA, this investment in EA, and other investments it's made in video game companies like Capcom and Nexon, might be part of a larger effort to diversify the nation's brand, not just its economics. It's human rights record is abysmal, and it's possible they're trying to cover that up, make people forget about it, by creating more connections between Saudi Arabia and more positive things, like sports and games and the like.There are additional concerns about this purchase of EA, too, by the way, because Saudi Arabia's cultural values are very anti-woman, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-liberal, democratic values. So there are fears that we might see less representation and fewer what we might call western values portrayed in the games released by these studios, as a result of this ownership.The folks running EA have said their core values will remain unchanged by the buyout, but it's expected, bare-minimum, that this will lead to another several restructurings and mass-layoffs throughout the company in the coming years, to help recoup all that debt, at the end of which even the people making those promises might be long gone.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Investment_Fundhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/business/dealbook/electronic-arts-buyout-jared-kushner.htmlhttps://www.wsj.com/business/deals/ea-private-deal-buyout-video-game-maker-808aefechttps://www.ft.com/content/61cef75e-ceba-43ee-80e3-040756c6154f?accessToken=zwAGQAMTiJKIkc9hzvdezrpD7tOA4wQHVsYVTw.MEUCIHND3WOT4rS4frIMIOoeXHQeil_Ma1yGrwOqUD2m306DAiEAtA_QLvpyObai9zoo_9GZSljJuJyTKxJgFHpQDcCcVsE&sharetype=gift&token=03dd6ca5-c34f-4925-8a3d-a89f4058ee80https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/ea-silver-lake-deal-jared-kushner-c145cd55?st=eZghQHhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Arts This is a public episode.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover violent new attacks on ICE agents in Chicago and Portland, Trump's plan to federalize National Guard units, the shutdown of apps used to track ICE officers, a cash offer to illegal immigrants, a shocking Virginia political scandal, and global updates from Greenland to Ukraine, the UK, Gaza, and Africa. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world.   Violent Weekend on the Immigration Front: Radical activists in Chicago used phone apps to track ICE agents, boxed them in with ten cars, and rammed a federal vehicle. When the lead agitator, Marimar Martínez, brandished a gun, ICE agents fired back, lightly injuring her. Chicago police refused to assist, with supervisors citing sanctuary city laws. Trump responded by federalizing 300 Illinois National Guardsmen, saying, “If the governor won't protect federal officers, I will.”   Portland Judge Blocks Federal Guard Deployment: After months of violence and arson targeting federal buildings, Oregon's Judge Karin Immergut refused to let Trump deploy 200 Oregon Guardsmen. The White House will instead send California troops. City council member Angelita Morillo, an admitted Marxist, has been helping activists buy burner phones to coordinate attacks.   Apple and Google Drop Anti-ICE Apps: Following a Trump DOJ order, Apple and Google removed apps used to crowdsource ICE agent locations. Developers and activists called the move authoritarian, but DHS pointed to the weekend's attempted murder of ICE officers as proof the apps “facilitate organized violence, not free speech.”   Trump Expands “Pay to Leave” Immigration Program: Migrants aged 14 to 17 who entered illegally will now be offered $2,500 and a plane ticket home. Critics say the policy “coerces” children, but Trump argues it's cheaper and safer than detaining or deporting them. Reuters reports Guatemalan parents still refuse to take their kids back, preferring they keep working in the U.S.   Virginia Democrat Calls for Murder of GOP Speaker and Children: Attorney General candidate Jay Jones faces backlash for texting that Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his two young children “should be shot.” Fellow Democrat Abigail Spanberger defended him, saying, “Let those without sin cast the first stone.” Bryan warns, “The Left is openly dehumanizing children now — what happens when words become policy?”   Greenland's Rare Earth Deal with the U.S.: The Trump administration is negotiating an investment partnership with Greenland's Critical Metals Corp to secure rare earth minerals and limit Chinese control. Bryan calls it “the front line of America's Mineral Wars.”   China Feeding Intel to Russia in Ukraine: Beijing is providing targeting data that includes U.S.-owned facilities, dragging out the conflict to drain American stockpiles.   UK Scandal Over Chinese Spies: British PM Keir Starmer quashed espionage charges against two Chinese-linked researchers by refusing to label China an “enemy.” Bryan warns it's time to “pull the plug on Five Eyes intel sharing” until the UK gets serious about national security.   Trump's Gaza Peace Plan and Netanyahu's Pressure: Envoy Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner head to Cairo to finalize a deal requiring Hamas to disarm or face “complete obliteration.” Netanyahu faces backlash from his coalition, which could collapse if Hamas keeps any political power.   Nigeria's Christian Genocide Expands: Islamist militants from Boko Haram and ISIS killed hundreds in northern Nigeria, driving thousands into Cameroon. Bryan warns Biden's CIA may be indirectly aiding jihadists to attack Russian and Chinese targets.   Medical News — Parkinson's and Back Pain Relief: South Korean researchers linked tooth bacteria to Parkinson's risk, while a German cannabis extract eased chronic back pain. Bryan reminds listeners, “Keep brushing and walking — the mind and body are more connected than we realize.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Chicago ICE attack Marimar Martínez, Trump federalizes Illinois National Guard, Chicago police sanctuary policy, Portland Judge Karin Immergut National Guard, Angelita Morillo Marxist burner phones, Apple Google anti-ICE apps removed, Trump migrant cash offer $2,500, Jay Jones Virginia AG murder text, Abigail Spanberger rage fuel comments, Greenland rare earth minerals Critical Metals Corp, China intel to Russia Ukraine war, Keir Starmer Chinese spies case UK, Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas disarmament, Nigeria Christian genocide Boko Haram ISIS, Parkinson's oral bacteria South Korea, German cannabis chronic back pain
