John Bolton joins Joanna Coles to help us understand what it's like working with Donald Trump during moments of maximum peril, when generals and intelligence chiefs are trying to brief a president who, Bolton says, often prefers talking to listening. Drawing on his time as national security advisor during Trump's first term, he describes a commander in chief uncomfortable in the Situation Room, dismissive of the structured National Security Council process created under the National Security Act of 1947, and prone to reversing decisions—even after operations were underway. As Trump weighs a potentially prolonged confrontation with Iran, Bolton assesses whether he has the patience to sustain it, why Benjamin Netanyahu has proved especially effective at influencing him, and how mixed messaging to Congress and allies weakens America's hand when American lives are at stake in the Gulf.

Let's talk about a worried John Bolton, Trump, and Iran....
Former National Security Advisor John Bolton doesn't mince words: the opening strikes on Iran were just the beginning. In this special bonus episode, Bolton breaks down why he believes the Iranian regime will fragment from within, what the Gulf Arab states are about to do, and how war in Iran affects Russia, Ukraine, and China. Then, retired Lt. General Mark Hertling brings the view from the ground. A veteran of multiple Iraq deployments and the former Chief of War Plans on the Joint Staff. Hertling has seen this before. He's asking the question nobody in Washington seems to want to answer: Is there actually a plan for the day after the strikes?

Was this preemptive war — or long-overdue justice? Today we break down the history most Americans never heard: the 603 U.S. service members killed in Iraq by Iran's Quds Force, the 223 strikes on American bases, and the assassination plots targeting President Trump on U.S. soil. From the killing of Qassem Soleimani to alleged Iranian operations inside America, we connect the dots the corporate media won't. Was this escalation — or survival? Opening Tease (On-Air Hook) For years, 603 murdered Americans were never avenged. Then Donald Trump acted. Now critics call it reckless. Today, we dust off the real history — and ask: how many attacks are we supposed to absorb before we respond? Key Topics Covered The killing of Qassem Soleimani and why it happened 603 U.S. troops killed by Iran-backed forces (2003–2015) Alleged assassination plots against Donald Trump Reported targeting of John Bolton and Mike Pompeo Iran's 223 drone and missile strikes on U.S. bases since October 2023 Brain injuries and troop casualties under Joe Biden Debate with Rand Paul over preemptive vs. defensive action Sanctions, frozen funds, and the alleged $100B in released assets Border security concerns and national security implications Primary Narrative Angle This episode argues that recent actions against Iranian leadership were not spontaneous aggression — but the culmination of years of attacks, proxy warfare, and assassination plots. The central question: If a regime has demonstrated repeated attacks on U.S. troops and leaders, at what point does response become necessary? Soundbite Moment “They demonstrated 223 times they would strike our bases. How many more times do we wait?” Call to Action Do you believe this was justice — or escalation? Call in. Text in. Sound off.
Tehran's nuclear-weapons race was a risk the U.S., Israel and others couldn't tolerate, and its terrorism and brutality have only worsened. Its development of weapons that could reach Europe is a growing, grave threat. But as more than one of this episode's guests says, the war with Iran involves other states, too — including China, which faces losing another supplier of the cheap oil powering its own ambitions. It's also a message from U.S. President Donald Trump to Beijing that the U.S. won't ignore adversarial aggression. Brian speaks with John Bolton, former presidential security advisor; Rick Hillier, Canada's former chief of the defense staff; former U.S. intelligence officer, Jonathan Panikoff; Eylon Levy, former Israeli government spokesman; Vivian Bercovici, former ambassador to Israel; and Postmedia's Adam Zivo, reporting from Tel Aviv.

For sixty years Washington and Havana have been having a geopolitical tango fuelled by obsession and ideology. The island nation of Cuba has been a socialist splinter in the finger of the Florida coastline, its regime infecting the region. Now, with the toppling of Nicolás Maduro and Venezuelan oil tightly controlled by the US, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel could be next. To get into the finer details of the US's new found dominance in the Caribbean, Venetia is joined by The Telegraph's foreign reporter, Lily Shanagher.Plus, former national security advisor John Bolton, voices the need for regime change in Venezuela, Iran and Cuba. Coining the phrase ‘Troika of Tyranny' in 2018, Bolton has had Cuba in his sights for many years as a rogue state. So what should happen next in the region?

The United States is assembling a formidable arsenal of warships and aircraft in the Middle East - the biggest military build-up in that region since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Iran wants to build long range missiles which could strike the continental US and is governed by fanatics who butcher their own people. Is the US planning a surgical strike against specific facilities or powerful men? Or is this something more decisive and risky, as the military build-up implies? Piers Morgan speaks to former US national security advisor Ambassador John Bolton before turning to his panel; The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur, Part of The Problem host Dave Smith, Iranian-American attorney and activist Elica Lebon, former Canadian lawmaker and Iran activist Goldie Ghamari plus former NATO supreme commander General Wesley Clark.

Is there anything more undignified than “leftists” and “anarchists” who cheer on the fall of empire-targeted governments even as the empire moves war machinery into place? Ooh look at me I'm sticking it to the man by supporting the same agendas as the US State Department. I'm being punk rock by regurgitating the same war propaganda talking points as John Bolton. I'm fighting the power by backing the foreign policy objectives of the most powerful empire that has ever existed. Fucking embarrassing, man. Reading by Tim Foley.

Two high-profile public figures face charges, but different outcomes in court?! In two decades covering the biggest trials in America, Adam Klasfeld reports that he has never seen a successful selective prosecution defense—except for a groundbreaking case currently underway that could shift that trend. As legal scrutiny intensifies over the handling of classified information, law firms and legal professionals are being forced to reflect on the complexities of selective prosecution, evidence management, and the impact of public perception on justice. These questions aren't just for politicians—they're crucial for those who must advise clients through criminal investigations, data protection controversies, and challenges related to discovery and legacy data. This week's episode features acclaimed investigative journalist Adam Klasfeld, founder of All Rise News, joining us to break down the Espionage Act cases involving Donald Trump and John Bolton. In this episode, you will get an eye-opening exploration into how the Espionage Act works (beyond the headlines), what differentiates cases like Trump's and Bolton's, and the strategic hurdles legal teams face when allegations of selective or vindictive prosecution arise. We brought Adam Klasfeld onto the show because his reporting has provided rare, on-the-ground insight into the preliminary legal battles shaping these headlines—and what they mean for attorneys and firms tracking the shifting landscape of high-stakes criminal litigation. On Part 2 of this series, Gregg and Adam discuss: - How Trump and Bolton's cases diverge—even under the same statute - The government's claims about national defense information and alleged security breaches - Judge appointments, prosecutorial independence, and political interference in high-profile cases - The nuts and bolts of handling classified evidence, SCIF construction, and reviewing sensitive material - What "selective prosecution" really looks like, and why it almost never succeeds - The role of e-discovery and evidence preservation in modern criminal litigation - Early legal maneuvers, defense strategies, and what to watch for as these cases develop Key actionable takeaways for law firms: - Prepare your case files and evidence management workflows for deep scrutiny, especially in matters involving national security or public figures - Assess the likelihood and risks of political interference in major prosecutions—document all case activity to protect against allegations of selective prosecution - Understand the strategic importance of pretrial motions, especially in cases involving classified or legacy data - Track emerging case law around vindictive prosecutions—it may shape the defense playbook in future headline cases If your legal team is thinking about how political winds and evidence handling influence outcomes, this episode will help you spot the unseen factors. Subscribe to keep up with the legal stories that matter—because knowing the "why" behind big cases might just make the difference in yours.

In this January 6 episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold is joined by Ashe in America for an extended discussion covering legal developments, foreign policy narratives, and growing tension within the conservative media space. The show opens with updates on Tina Peters' case, including the state of Colorado's response to her motion to vacate jurisdiction following a presidential pardon, the novel legal arguments involved, and upcoming court proceedings. Jon and Ashe examine media restrictions imposed by Colorado courts and debate their implications for press access and First Amendment protections. The conversation then turns to Venezuela, focusing on differing definitions of regime change, reactions to Nicolás Maduro's removal, and commentary from figures such as John Bolton. Jon and Ashe discuss how narratives surrounding Venezuela are being shaped and challenged in real time. The latter portion of the episode centers on Dan Bongino's return to public commentary, his recent statements targeting internal critics, and the broader issue of dissent versus unity within political movements. Jon closes the show by reviewing additional headlines, audience questions, and market updates before signing off.
Former National Security Advisor John Bolton says there's really been no regime change in Venezuela, but President Donald Trump was right to remove Nicolás Maduro as president. He's worried "we've removed the face of the regime, but not the regime itself." He spoke to Bloomberg's Joe Mathieu and Tyler Kendall. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sir Keir Starmer is caught between a rock and a hard place.Not wanting to upset Donald Trump by criticising his removal of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, but also a Europhile at heart and a fan of international law and order, it's made for a tricky start.Add to this his ever-growing domestic problems, Starmer's promise that he'll be PM this time next year is looking fanciful.Camilla and Tim are joined by John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser, to look at why the US deposed Maduro, the foreign policy aims of Trump 2.0 and whether he can legitimately make a claim for Greenland.We want to hear from you!

The list of people Donald Trump has punished or threatened to punish since returning to office is long. It includes the likes of James Comey, Letitia James, John Bolton, as well as members of the opposition, such as Adam Schiff, Mark Kelly and Kamala Harris.In fact, he has gone so far as to call Democrats “the enemy from within”, saying they are more dangerous than US adversaries like Russia and China.According to Lucan Way, a professor of democracy at the University of Toronto, when a leader attacks the opposition like this, it's a clear sign a country is slipping into authoritarianism.As Way says in episode 5 of The Making of an Autocrat:"In other kind of countries with weaker justice systems, you can literally jail members of opposition or bankrupt them. In a country like the United States, where the rule of law is quite robust, this is not possible, you can't just jail rivals at will."But Trump has other ways of making the cost of opposing him too high for his critics to bear. This includes investigations, lawsuits, audits, personal attacks – anything to distract and silence them.The effect is his opponents become much more reluctant to engage in behaviour they know that Trump won't like, Way says:"So it really has this kind of broader silencing effect that I think is quite pernicious."This episode was written by Justin Bergman and produced and edited by Isabella Podwinski and Ashlynne McGhee.

Chris Spangle is joined by Harry Price and Rhinehold for the final We Are Libertarians roundtable of 2025, recorded on the Saturday between Christmas and New Year's. They trade Festivus-style grievances, talk life and workload, and debate Indianapolis development, public transit, and downtown design, including “no turn on red” frustrations and light rail. The conversation moves into NPR and PBS funding cuts, NOAA and weather data, and why abrupt cuts can create gaps before private solutions adapt. They also dig into “too big to fail,” stadium subsidies, wealth inequality, immigration and tariffs, and worries about an AI hype cycle that could pop.

Ambassador John Bolton joins Hugh Dougherty to chart the growing dangers of Trump's foreign policy, driven by impulse rather than strategy. Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser, describes a president who ignores formal briefings, takes cues from Mar-a-Lago guests, and makes decisions by “neuron flash,” leaving Venezuela, Europe, and Ukraine trapped in contradiction and drift. As Trump chases a Nobel Prize and treats strongmen like personal allies, Bolton presses a defining question: How long can America's security withstand a leader who refuses to plan? Hosted on Acast.

Every day brings a new constitutional crisis. Donald Trump isn't just breaking norms... he's weaponizing the entire justice system against anyone who dare cross him. We're joined by former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman to cut through the chaos and explain what the hell is happening. Trump promised that he would bring "retribution" to his second term - turns he wasn't lying. So far he's gone after James Comey, Letitia James, John Bolton. Harry breaks down why these prosecutions represent "rock bottom, ninth circle of hell" for the Justice Department—and why they're likely unconstitutional. Harry also discusses Trump sending the National Guard into (Democratic-led) cities despite their objections. Is that legal? Some courts say yes, some say no. Now it's at the Supreme Court, which has already enabled Trump's overreach at every turn. Harry tells us why this is the single most dangerous thing happening right now. We also delve into the complexities of Louisiana v. Callais, the Voting Rights Act case before the Supreme Court which could eliminate Section II and allow for the elimination of majority-minority districts (we'll explain this!), likely imperiling 15 House seats now held by Democrats. Plus, it turns out that it's easier than anyone thought to demolish the East Wing of the White House! At least we're getting a new ballroom.... Harry walks us through why this unprecedented destruction is probably illegal, but so outrageous that no legal framework even exists to stop it.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, President Trump has made clear several times while he was in the Middle East that he believes his order bombing the Iranian nuclear sites was pivotal in bringing about his peace deal, including the backing of Arab/Muslim countries and the release of the 20 hostages. We shouldn't forget the names of those in our country who unleashed a relentless, vicious, and deceitful campaign against the bombing of those Iranian nuclear sites and those of us who strongly encouraged and supported it. They also trashed Trump before he acted, claiming it would divide MAGA, lead to WWIII and the death of thousands of American troops and perhaps nuclear war with China and Russia, and that Netanyahu and the Jews were trying to drag our country into a war. These liars will be remembered forever as the buffoons that they are. Later, no, PM Benjamin Netanyahu didn't prolong the Gaza war for personal political gain, these claims overlook the strategic benefits of his persistence. Netanyahu has accepted a Trump-brokered deal on his stated terms: full hostage release, dismantling of Hamas's military and governance, and Israeli troops remaining to enforce it, with U.S. backing if needed. All antisemitic, racist, and bigoted messaging and other forms of communication should be aggressively condemned. Who cares if it's Young Republicans or Young Democrats, members of Congress, media that platforms and promotes such poison, organizations that invite bigots as speakers and debaters, podcasters, comedians, and on and on. It's disgusting that some of those condemning the Young Republicans in the Politico piece, who most certainly should be condemned and removed, are as guilty as they are with their headlines, storylines, and promotion of a long list of bigots. It's sinister. The likes of Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, Steve Bannon, and their ilk, as well as their apologists are being mainstreamed do have an impact on the minds of too many young people. Where are the top Republicans denouncing them? John Bolton has been indicted on 18 counts by a federal grand jury in Maryland for mishandling classified information, including 8 counts of transmission and 10 counts of retention of national defense information. But this indictment is not retribution but a serious breach by someone who knew better, despite the Biden administration previously dropping a related investigation. Learn more about your ad choices.

Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to revisit the impact of Louisiana v. Callais on the Voting Rights Act, and explore what it means for the ongoing racial disparities in our elections and the future of our civil rights. Then, the #Sisters review John Bolton's indictment by weighing whether the manner in which he handled national security documents is worthy of prosecution in light of precedent and the prior prosecution of Trump.

When a group of Young Republicans' racist private messages—which included praise for Hitler and slavery and jokes about gas chambers—get leaked to POLITICO, JD Vance says "that's what kids do" and that we all need to move on. President Trump names new targets for prosecution, including Sen. Adam Schiff, Andrew Weissmann, and Jack Smith, even as Trump's DOJ indicts his old nemesis, John Bolton. Jon and Dan react to Vance and Trump's comments, discuss the Trump administration's plan to weaponize the IRS, and debate whether the administration is seriously considering starting a war with Venezuela. They then turn to the latest developments in the government shutdown, the growing debate over the DSCC's influence in 2026 senate primaries, including those in Maine and Michigan, and a pending ruling at the Supreme Court that could further weaken the Voting Rights Act. Then, Sen. Brian Schatz talks with Tommy about whether the end of the shutdown is in sight, the administration's designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization, and the upcoming No Kings protests.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, John Bolton has been indicted on 18 counts by a federal grand jury in Maryland for mishandling classified information, including 8 counts of transmission and 10 counts of retention of national defense information. But this indictment is not retribution but a serious breach by someone who knew better, despite the Biden administration previously dropping a related investigation. Also, Rep Elise Stefanik responded to a NY Times reporter's inquiry about her labeling Zohran Mamdani a jihadist. She responded in the best way possible – “I call Zohran Mamdani a jihadist because he is. Zohran Mamdani is a raging antisemite.” NY Times wants to give Mamdani cover, just like they did with the Holocaust. Later, there's a Wall Street Journal article portraying the Trump administration's IRS overhaul—installing allies in the criminal division and reducing lawyer involvement—as a means to politically probe left-leaning groups. It's necessary to investigate George Soros-funded organizations tied to terrorism, Marxism, and efforts to overthrow the U.S. and other nations. This move address serious threats beyond politics, and it's a good thing that the Treasury Secretary is pursuing it. Afterward, Democrat-led cities and states are defying federal immigration laws by declaring themselves sanctuaries. President Trump is going to have to invoke the Insurrection Act—used 28 times historically, such as by Eisenhower against segregationists—to counter resistance from governors and mayors who block ICE and incite violence.
