Then: the war hawks who drummed up the Iran war—Thiessen, Graham, Levin, the WSJ editorial board — are repositioning and refusing to say they were wrong. Plus: Trump's accelerating decline, the corruption behind the White House UFC fight, and why Trump's DOJ will open a federal investigation on every 2028 Democratic nominee regardless of who it is.Watch, listen, and leave a comment.This ad-free video version of The Next Level is exclusively for Bulwark+ members.

Trump says there is a new Iran deal. But is it a peace deal, or a deal to start working on a deal? Nate and Chuck break down Trump's Iran MOU, the Strait of Hormuz announcement, oil price spin, JD Vance's defense of the agreement, and why some MAGA voices are suddenly walking a very awkward tightrope. They also dig into Mark Levin's argument about Congress, treaties, and war powers. If Congress must review foreign agreements, why does Congress somehow not matter when the bombs start flying? MOU means memorandum of understanding. JCPOA refers to the Obama-era Iran nuclear agreement.

Episode 113 opens with Ghost's "cyclone" theory in full motion: Trump occupies both sides of the Iran narrative at once, threatening to bomb Tehran while announcing a deal is two or three days away. Ghost breaks down the Apache helicopter incident, Trump telling the Wall Street Journal it "wasn't a big deal," and the Oval Office gaggle where Trump casually reveals he has been working directly with Iran for months. Trump questions whether Netanyahu should even run for reelection while Netanyahu's own cabinet discusses fighting Iran alone in total isolation. The Strait of Hormuz bombshell follows: Trump claims the US secretly moved oil through it for months without Iran knowing, and a congressional hearing exposes the contradictions. Then comes the deal itself: 49 Tomahawks, a leaked 14-point memorandum, and Trump's furious denial of the leaked terms. Mark Levin spirals from celebrating bombing to demanding the text of the deal, while Israel confirms it is not party to the agreement. Erdogan and Netanyahu trade threats, and Ghost maps a possible Greece-Israel-Ukraine alliance against Turkey. The episode closes with Tulsi Gabbard's declassification of 120 US-funded bio labs across 30 countries.

Episode 112 opens with the bombshell buried inside a Barak Ravid Axios piece: Trump told Netanyahu "BB, you better be careful or you will be on your own very soon." Ghost walks through the full timeline of how Israel struck Beirut without telling the White House, only alerting CENTCOM, Iran retaliated, five countries called Trump begging him to press Netanyahu, and Trump told the Financial Times he calls all the shots, Netanyahu calls none. Mark Levin's Sunday night Fox meltdown gets the full Ghost treatment: calling Trump desperate, activating the Hasbara influencer network, and signaling that the diaspora now sees the rug being pulled. Ghost then delivers his most complete retrospective yet on why Trump had to inflate Israel's ego first, tracing it back to the 2020 Abraham Accords standoff and Netanyahu congratulating Biden on election night. Pakistan's prime minister and army chief co-sign a sealed letter delivered directly to the Iranian Ayatollah, bypassing every normal diplomatic channel. France bans Smotrich, Italy investigates Ben Gavir, and nine countries have now barred one or both Israeli ministers. A gas pipeline explosion in Dagestan sits precisely on the SCO North South Transport Corridor, and Ghost calls it plainly: Ukraine, CIA, and Mossad sabotage.
This episode hosts Erez Levin to examine the shifting boundaries of acceptable public speech and what this reveals about the health of modern democratic societies. The conversation explores his central argument that liberal democracies depend not only on formal legal frameworks, but also on informal social guardrails, shared moral taboos that limit the public acceptability of overt hateful bigotry and dehumanising rhetoric. As these guardrails weaken in fragmented and algorithmically driven information environments, previously marginal forms of rhetoric can become more visible, more tolerated, and in some cases gradually normalised within mainstream political discourse.Erez Levin is an advertising technologist and former Google employee whose work focuses on the intersection of digital media systems, online advertising incentives, and the health of public discourse. Through his “Holding the Line” project and writing on Substack, he examines how societies can maintain democratic resilience by reinforcing shared norms that constrain the social acceptability of overt hateful bigotry, while preserving space for open political debate.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

What does it take to bring AI into businesses that run on physical work, human judgment, and processes nobody has ever written down?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Noah Levin, founder of Serious People, to unpack what he calls being a “free-range AI consultant.” Noah explains why most of his work is business consulting from first principles rather than AI consulting, why agents still need humans to deliver real value, and how he groups AI for any company into three buckets: a coworker, an operator, and a product or engineering capability.They explore how AI is collapsing the distance between a conversation and a working prototype, why the new IP is business judgment instead of code, why he believes everything is becoming product management, and the humility it takes to solve problems on a client's terms inside companies that aren't, and shouldn't be, run like tech startups.If you're a product leader figuring out where AI actually creates leverage, an operator weighing whether to go independent, or a builder realizing that distribution now matters more than the thing you build, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Levin spricht live über seinen neuen Song und ein Stück Stäfa‑Nostalgie, Noemi Beza zeigt mit ihrer EP eindrücklich ihren Weg nach oben und George bleibt mit «Schoufänschter» der bodenständige Erzähler mit direktem Draht zum Publikum. Noemi Beza ist eine 20-jährige Thurgauer Singer-Songwriterin und arbeitet neben der Musik als Pharmaassistentin. Sie wurde als Baby aus Äthiopien adoptiert und wuchs in einer musikaffinen Familie auf. Nach ersten Erfolgen und Airplay-Platzierungen wurde sie im Juni als «SRF 3 Best Talent» ausgezeichnet – ein Titel, der den Weg für einen möglichen Swiss Music Award ebnet. Mit der EP «You'll Find Me There» verbindet sie modernen Pop mit Indie-, Folk- und Country-Einflüssen und bewegt sich thematisch zwischen persönlichem Wachstum und der Suche nach dem eigenen Platz. Der Zürcher Musiker Levin ist in der Sendung mit «Good Love Hurts So Good (8712)» präsent und spricht live über seinen neuen Song. Die «8712» steht für die Postleitzahl von Stäfa und bildet den Rahmen für eine sehr persönliche Geschichte: inspiriert von einem Jahr in Hollywood erzählt Levin von seiner Jugend am Zürichsee – und davon, dass im eigenen Dorf alle irgendwie Legenden sind. Der Bieler Seeländer George ergänzt die Sendung mit seinem Song «Schoufänschter» und steht für Bodenständigkeit und Nähe zum Publikum: «Das Leben als Buuregiel hat mich am meisten geprägt», sagt er über seinen Weg und freut besonders über ein «sehr gemischtes Publikum».

This is the warning nobody in Washington wants you to hear. Dr. Jeremy Levin — PhD, MD, and author of Biotech and the Balance — joins Marc Cox with a dire prediction: if America doesn't reverse course now, the majority of our new medicines could be coming from foreign countries by 2035. The biotech industry that started with one company in 1973 and grew to over 2,000 is quietly crumbling — and the reasons will shock you. NIH research is sputtering, top scientific minds are being sent home, and the FDA lost 90% of its most experienced managers in a matter of months. Dr. Levin pulls no punches on what happens when the agency responsible for inspecting drug plants abroad stops functioning — and Marc Cox asks the question every American parent should be asking right now. This is your family's health, your children's medicine, and your national security all wrapped into one conversation you absolutely cannot afford to miss.

Hour 3 of the Marc Cox Morning Show is the kind of hour that changes how you see the world. Heritage Foundation's Nicole Huyer exposes New York City Mayor Kami Mamdani's communist playbook — property seizures, fake free grocery stores at $30 million a pop, and a rent control scheme that's driving businesses and taxpayers straight to Florida. Then Dr. Jeremy Levin drops a bombshell warning: America's biotech industry is crumbling from the inside, the FDA has lost 90% of its top managers, and if nothing changes, China could be supplying the majority of America's new medicines by 2035. And LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt says out loud what everyone already knows — those 40,000 people on the streets of Los Angeles aren't homeless, they're drug addicts who are choosing fentanyl over a free bed. Marc Cox and Kim deliver the straight talk, the hard truths, and the conservative common sense that makes the Marc Cox Morning Show the most important two hours of your morning. Senator Eric Schmidt is coming up — stay tuned.

CannCon and Zak Paine open a packed Memorial Day Monday with a salute to fallen brothers and a show full of enormous developments. Trump skips Don Junior's wedding to stay at the White House, and instead of an Iran strike, he announces a broad peace memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain. Israel is conspicuously absent from the signatory list and receives only a separate phone call. The neocon wing explodes: Cruz, Graham, Pompeo, and Levin all melt down publicly, and White House spokesman Stephen Chung tells Pompeo on the record that he has no idea what he is talking about and should shut his mouth. Tulsi Gabbard resigns as DNI after her husband Abraham is diagnosed with a rare and fast-moving bone cancer. CannCon and Zak flag that her replacement is a 20-year CIA officer, arriving exactly as the CIA-versus-DNI battle reaches its peak. Catherine Herridge confirms the CIA was tracking every keystroke of Gabbard's DIG team, with an IT work order proving someone requested the surveillance deliberately. Republican senators screamed at Todd Blanche in a closed door meeting over the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund. J6 convictions are vacated. A federal judge dismisses human smuggling charges against Abrego Garcia calling them vindictive prosecution.
Guest Dr. Jeremy Levin, author "Biotech in the Balance", joins to disuss the distrust in the biotech industry. Breakdown of the difference between research in biotech, and politics of big pharma. What have we learned in the biotech industry about the human body? Discussion of vaccines, natural immunity, and is there really "junk" DNA in our body? Memorial Weekend recap. As a society, are we living up to the standards of the idea of America that so many died to protect? Discussion of the spread of socialism in culture, Mamdani calling to remove private property ownership, and more.
Building on the concepts introduced in the previous episode Rethinking the Design and Conduct of Kidney Trials, this episode explores how innovative ideas in nephrology research can be translated into practical trial strategies. Experts discuss novel approaches to trial design, evolving endpoint selection, and the importance of engaging patients, clinicians, regulators, and other stakeholders throughout the research process. Drawing on insights from the ISN Consensus Meeting on Changing Paradigms of Studies in CKD (Vancouver, Nov 22-23, 2024), the discussion highlights how more pragmatic and implementation-focused trials can help generate evidence that is meaningful for clinical practice and patient care worldwide. Speakers Adeera Levin Professor of Medicine, University of British Columbia, Canada, and Past-President of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN). Dr. Levin is a global leader in kidney health research, with extensive experience in chronic kidney disease (CKD) management, clinical trials, and international health system strengthening. David Wheeler Professor of Kidney Medicine at University College London, UK and Honorary Consultant Nephrologist at the Royal Free Hospital. His research focuses on the management of chronic kidney disease and the evaluation of therapies through large-scale clinical trials. He was co-principal investigator of the landmark DAPA-CKD trial and served as Co-Chair of KDIGO from 2012–2019. Kevin Weinfurt Professor and Vice Chair of Faculty, Department of Population Health Sciences, Duke University School of Medicine, USA. Dr. Weinfurt is a behavioural scientist specializing in patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), ethical aspects of research participation, and improving the relevance of clinical trials to patients lived experiences. Hiddo J. Lambers Heerspink Professor of Clinical Trials and Personalized Medicine, University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands. Dr. Heerspink's work bridges pharmacology, nephrology, and precision medicine, focusing on optimizing kidney and cardiovascular outcomes through innovative clinical trial design and biomarker discovery.

She argues that something very very important has changed in the relations between China and the US - or actually several things - over the past 2 years since Trump returned to the White House. And that those shifts will have - and are already having - enormous geopolitical consequences - even almost no one has realized this change just yet. And that this change will mean pretty bad news for the United States and very good news for China.We talk about what those changes are, which ones we have already seen at the latest China-US summit, why people in Taiwan might have a good reason to start getting pretty nervous and how all that might increase the risk of a potential conflict. And much more.
On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the Iranian regime has no intention of honoring any deal. They view negotiations merely as opportunities to delay while pursuing their goal of conquering and converting others through violence, as they believe Allah commands. The regime exists not to govern but to expand its influence worldwide. Also, Mount Zion—the literal 4,000-year-old birthplace of Judaism in what critics call Israel's disputed or occupied territory—predates Islam, Christianity, and any notion of Palestinians. Jew-haters and Israel-haters use “Zionist” as a supposed distinction from “Jew,” yet there would be no Jews without Mount Zion. Under President Polk, when Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, and California were added 180 years ago despite Mexico's claims; no one today debates those states as “occupied territory,” nor questions that Americans live on land taken from Indian tribes 140 years ago. Yet Israel must endlessly defend its far older homeland against the same logic. Later, the birthright citizenship Supreme Court decision will demand courage to rule correctly - failure to do so would inflict severe, lasting damage on the nation. Some weaker Republican justices may uphold the status quo to avoid intense personal backlash from the left while the left operates a well-organized, networked, and well-funded militia that confronts ICE and local police across the country. Finally, with the election on Tuesday Rep Chip Roy calls in to update his run for Texas Attorney General. Roy also talks about the effort to Islamify Texas. Islam is primarily a political ideology masquerading behind the First Amendment to wage jihad against the West. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What if picky eating isn't your child's fault—but how we're feeding them? In this episode, I sit down with Erica Bethe Levin, founder of Globowl, the baby food brand redefining how kids experience food from their very first bites. After struggling with picky eating with her first child, Erica took a completely different approach the second time—introducing bold, globally inspired flavors like curry and spices early on, with powerful results. We talk about the critical “flavor window,” why early allergen exposure matters, how gut health is tied to food diversity, and why traditional “kid food” may be setting our children up to fail. Erica also shares her journey from the world of high-end food and Michelin-star influence to launching a fast-growing company—and what she learned along the way, including her experience on Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars. If you've ever dealt with picky eating, questioned what your kids should be eating, or want to raise adventurous, healthy eaters, this episode is a must-listen. Learn more about your ad choices.

The conditions service members live in directly affect Military readiness and national security. It's the responsibility of Congress to authorize military funding to ensure the warfighter has what they need in combat and at home. Every decision impacts the strength of the force and their families.In this episode, Fran Racioppi sat down with Representative Mike Levin, who serves California's 49th District and sits on the House Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs to discuss the policies and decisions shaping today's military bases. From investments in infrastructure at Camp Pendleton to broader oversight of Veterans Affairs, Congressman Levin outlines why improving living conditions, facilities, and support systems is essential to maintaining a ready and capable force.Our conversation explores the responsibility of leadership to develop a culture where reporting substandard conditions is encouraged. We also discuss the broader role of Congress in overseeing military operations, and the importance of transparency, strategy, and accountability when American forces are deployed.Congressman Levin shares his perspective on the war with Iran, his views on the need for checks and balances, and the growing divide that has made bipartisan governance more difficult. He emphasizes that strong institutions require leaders willing to put mission over politics and to ensure that the constitutional framework guiding military action is upheld.This is a conversation about leadership, accountability, and the systems that support those who serve. It is about ensuring readiness not just on the battlefield, but across the entire force.Highlights:0:00 Introduction1:53 Welcome to the Jedburgh Podcast3:19 California's 49th District6:34 Improving Military Housing14:25 Status of the Iran War19:37 Is Iran A Direct Threat To The US?22:08 Iran's State Sponsorship of Terrorism25:20 Negotiating with Iran28:41 Bridging the GapQuotes:“It is imperative that we treat our veterans and military families with absolute respect.”“We've got real issues with barracks.”“We're not looking for the Ritz Carlton.

Princeton professor Thomas Levin has collected the world's only collection of 'voice letters' -- small records that could be recorded on-the-spot in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, and then sent through the mail to friends and loved ones. From passionate love notes, to messages home from soldiers, to tourist diaries from world travellers...these notes allowed many people to record their voices for the first time ever. Levin explains how he searches through online auctions and flea markets to uncover these ghostly voices from the past, and what we can learn from them.

In this episode, we return to Iain McGilchrist as he spirals upwards from his binary hemispheric model into full cosmic spirituality. The rule is simple: everything McGilchrist likes is due to the subtle, nuanced, and deeply sophisticated right brain, while the left brain (pffft) is responsible for reductionism, modernity, and most of the problems in your life.From this neuroscientific foundation, the theory expands with admirable ambition. Civilisations rise and fall depending on which hemisphere they inhabit. Ancient societies were properly attuned to the right brain, while the modern world has gone mechanical and spiritually bankrupt. The details are, of course, very complex, but the moral is clear.Scientific evidence features occasionally, mostly in a decorative capacity or as parables of scientists being baffled by mystical forces. Hence, we learn that decapitated worms retain perfect memories, Nobel Prizes have been awarded for demonstrating a mystical direction powering evolution, and near-death experiences establish that memories form when the brain isn't functioning.Alongside this hard science, McGilchrist also ventures into more spiritual realms, where we learn that artificial intelligence is likely to be channelling demons, schizophrenia might be caused by malign spiritual forces treating our brains as a luxury resort, and recently exorcised demons prefer to communicate via text message. No really...Ultimately, what matters is that McGilchrist's bespoke theology, bespoke metaphysics, bespoke biological teleology, and bespoke panentheist philosophy are really very impressive. And if you don't find any of it compelling, well, we are sad to inform you that this itself proves you are stuck in the wrong mode of thinking and failing to recognise true profundity.And if that doesn't work, then let's just say it was all a metaphor anyway!LinksAlex O' Connor: Why Evolution Gave You Two Brains - Iain McGilchristJonathan Pageau: Artificial Intelligence, Possession, and Mental Illness - Dr. Iain McGilchristThink Faith: Philosopher Iain McGilchrist DEBATES neuroscientist Anil Seth on God & minds | Uncommon GroundSpezio, M.

96% of dental office managers have no real training or background in management. That's because many are promoted from within and parachuted into the role without formal preparation. In this fifth episode of the Office Manager Mastery series, Dr. Grant Stucki welcomes back Dr. Roger Levin, CEO of Levin Group, to break down what it takes to develop a high-performing office manager and practice. Dr. Levin introduces the “office manager pyramid,” a clear framework that outlines the progression from managing daily processes to leading teams and driving strategic growth. He explains how mastering systems, numbers, and people creates the foundation for reaching the highest level: a Level 10 office manager who can fully oversee non-clinical operations. When this role is developed effectively, surgeons gain the freedom to focus on patient care while the practice continues to grow. Listen in to learn how building toward a Level 10 office manager can transform your entire dental practice!Key Points From This Episode:Introduction to the Office Manager Mastery series and its purpose.96% of office managers lack formal management training or experience.Why the office manager should function as COO of all non-clinical activity.The office manager pyramid as a model for role development.Level 1, functional: processes, daily tasks, and getting through the day effectively.Tracking production numbers and KPIs to guide performance and decisions.Systems must be built, tested, and improved to drive consistency.Level 2, people: managing people and leading the full team.Building culture must be intentional, with a focus on positivity and leadership.Level 3, strategic thinking: introduces strategic thinking and long-term growth.Why increasing production every year is essential to keep up with inflation and avoid decline.Defining a five-year vision to guide practice growth.Level 10 office manager: allows surgeons to focus on patients while the practice runs.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Dr. Roger Levin — https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-levin-69ab744/Dr. Roger Levin email — rlevinconf@levingroup.comLevin Group — https://levingroup.com/Office Manager Practice Mastery Program — https://levingroup.com/office-manager-practice-mastery-program/‘The Positive Practice' by Dr. Roger Levin — https://jada.ada.org/article/S0002-8177(15)01096-X/abstractEveryday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/EverydayOralSurgery/Dr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.comDr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720-441-6059
On Friday's Mark Levin Show, it's May Day, where communists, fascists, welfare recipients, foreign dole recipients, and teachers' unions are marching and waving foreign flags. We should counter by taxing the Democrats, redistribute their wealth, and force them to pay reparations for slavery, which they supported. Also, Graham Platner represents the Democrats' big tent of bigots, racists, Nazis, Marxists, and Islamists. The Democrats are making excuses for his Nazi tattoo but were outraged at Pete Hegseth for his Christian tattoos. Later, Mark Levin first met Donald Trump in September 2015 at a large Tea Party Patriots rally on the Capitol lawn, where thousands gathered to oppose the Obama Iran nuclear deal. This strong opposition has been the consistent position of Levin, Trump and conservatives since the beginning. The Work Reich wasn't there because they were never part of this movement.

Margaret Hoover sits down with American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Yuval Levin and National Constitution Center CEO Emeritus Jeffrey Rosen to discuss the enduring ideals of America's founding documents.Levin and Rosen, who both contributed to the NCC's new book “The Promise of America,” reflect on the shared principles and ideological differences between the nation's founders and how those philosophical clashes have echoed through to the present.Levin addresses the dysfunction of Congress in the modern era, how it became so polarized, and what can be done to bring it closer to what the founders intended. Rosen comments on proposals to increase the size of Congress and the difficulty of amending the Constitution.The two constitutional scholars assess the state of executive power in the second Trump administration, and they look ahead to the challenges artificial intelligence may pose for American democracy.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, The Tepper Foundation, Peter and Mary Kalikow, The Beth and Ravenel Curry Foundation, Pritzker Military Foundation, Cliff and Laurel Asness, The Margaret and Daniel Loeb Foundation, Katharine J.

In the season three premiere episode featuring Mark Levin and Yael Eckstein of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, listeners are invited to explore the pressing issues that the world faces today. As tensions rise globally, particularly in the Middle East, the conversation centers around the importance of Judeo-Christian values and the unity between Christians and Jews in confronting the challenges of our time. Levin and Eckstein begin by addressing the current geopolitical landscape, focusing on the ongoing conflict involving Israel and Iran. They highlight the significance of standing together in the face of adversity, emphasizing how both faiths share a common goal of sanctifying life, as opposed to the ideologies that promote death and violence. This clash of civilizations is not just a political issue; it is deeply rooted in spiritual warfare, as Eckstein articulates so eloquently. As the conversation unfolds, the two delve into the alarming rise of anti-Semitism and cultural decay that has permeated Western society. They discuss how the erosion of faith and values leads to a society that forgets its foundational principles. Eckstein makes a compelling case for the necessity of faith as a counterweight to this decay, urging listeners to recognize the spiritual battle at hand. One of the most poignant moments in the episode is when Eckstein speaks about the humanitarian work being done by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. With a mission to support those in need, the Fellowship embodies the values of compassion and unity. They are actively involved in providing aid in Israel and beyond, showcasing the power of fellowship in action. The episode concludes with a call to action, encouraging listeners to stand firm in their beliefs and to engage in the fight against the forces of darkness that seek to divide. Eckstein's message is clear: when we come together in faith and fellowship, we can illuminate the world and make a significant impact. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the current landscape of faith, culture, and politics. Levin and Eckstein provide valuable insights that remind us of the importance of unity and the shared values that can guide us through these challenging times. Tune in now to be inspired and informed. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) is a non-profit organization that aims to promote understanding and cooperation between Christians and Jews, and to support Israel and the Jewish people.

One of the Civil War's most controversial events unfolded on June 11, 1863, when Union forces entered Darien, Georgia, an undefended town of little strategic importance, and left it in flames. Homes, churches, businesses and one of the oldest Black congregations in the South were destroyed. The troops ordered to take part included the famed 54th Massachusetts, one of the first official Black regiments of the Civil War. But the story of who set the destruction in motion is more complicated than many people came to believe. Join the Community on Patreon: Want more Southern Mysteries?

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Sen Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are undermining our war effort for power. Schumer acts like the president's decision to order military action against Iran, despite tireless efforts to negotiate with that regime to abandon its nuclear program and surrender its enriched uranium, which was fruitless, and indeed the regime's negotiators bragged that they would have 11 nuclear bombs in 10 days, was rash and irresponsible. Their goal is not the defeat of Iran and the removal of a nuclear threat, but the defeat of the president and, if they can, his removal. Their purpose in all of this is to win the mid-term elections and destroy the Trump presidency, de-nuking Iran and protecting the American people be damned. Also, Levin is a huge fan of President Trump and doesn't hide it. What he has done with Iran is historic, humane, and crucial, as with so many other important matters. He raised some points about the current phase involving discussions with Iran and point out some issues that will have to be addressed one way or the other and provided my opinion on that as well. He's been completely transparent and straightforward. Unlike Mediaite's Colby Hall who deceives, connives, and dupes. A partisan and leftist who pretends he's neither. And he's an individual who has accomplished little. Later, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger ran as a moderate and won the election only to quickly impose radical left policies. This reveals the Democrat Party's strategy: hiding its radical agenda in purple and red states until elected, then revealing it, with real-life consequences like crime, taxes, and population flight. Finally, Sen Lindsey Graham calls in and explains that past Iranian sanctions and oversight under Europe, Obama, and Biden failed, while Trump's actions destroyed their progress and prevented further enrichment. Trump has Iran in a tight spot, and if they fail to comply in two weeks, Trump should seize Kharg Island, choke their economy, and resume military strikes. Learn more about your ad choices.
