In an eerily prophetic speech 11 years ago, Marco Rubio warned that Democrats were arming Iran with the missiles that would give them the ability to hit US bases and eventually America. To understand what's going on now, you've got to hit rewind. (Please subscribe & share.)

As the U.S. escalates military operations against Iran, questions arise about the loyalty of allies—especially the United Kingdom. Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially refused access to British bases for U.S. forces, delaying support just days before missile strikes. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump asserts U.S. dominance and questions the effectiveness of NATO and the UN, emphasizing that American-built bases and personnel are at risk. The episode breaks down the geopolitical stakes, European reluctance, and what this means for U.S. global strategy. Episode Summary U.S.-UK relations are under scrutiny as the Iran conflict unfolds. Sixteen days before the first U.S. missile strikes on Iran, President Donald Trump requested access to UK bases. Keir Starmer initially refused, sparking criticism from former leaders like Tony Blair and raising existential questions about the UK's role as an ally. The refusal, analysts suggest, may be politically motivated to appease Muslim immigrant voters in Britain—a key demographic for the Labour Party. Even after agreeing to allow access, Starmer addressed immigrant groups first, seemingly prioritizing domestic politics over strategic obligations. Operational challenges compounded the issue. British forces struggled to deploy the HMS Dragon to protect UK bases in Cyprus due to shipyard scheduling limits and RAF constraints, highlighting logistical hurdles. Meanwhile, Marco Rubio emphasizes the importance of loyal allies, contrasting the U.K.'s delays with the unwavering cooperation of other nations. Critics argue this underscores the risks of relying on European partners whose domestic politics may interfere with global security. From missiles striking bases to European hesitation, the episode paints a detailed picture of how U.S. strategy depends not just on military might, but on alliances—and how fragile those alliances can be when political considerations dominate. Key Takeaways UK initially refused U.S. access to bases for Iran operations, delaying strikes. Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces criticism for prioritizing domestic politics over strategic needs. U.S.-built bases and personnel remain at risk from Iranian missile strikes. The incident raises questions about NATO, UN, and the reliability of European allies. Logistical issues, like deployment of the HMS Dragon and RAF limitations, delayed defense of British interests. Senator Marco Rubio stresses the value of true allies who support U.S. operations unconditionally.

From Iran to Cuba to Latin American cartels, Trump and allies like Marco Rubio and Ken Paxton reportedly coordinated with regional leaders to dismantle criminal networks and eliminate hostile leadership. Today's episode unpacks the strategy, potential risks, and historic implications of these actions for U.S. foreign policy and national security. Episode Summary The focus of today's discussion is Trump's multi-pronged strategy against international threats, including the Iranian regime, Cuban instability, and Latin American cartels. Analysts claim Trump coordinated with allies and local governments to neutralize dangerous actors and assert U.S. dominance in critical regions. Key highlights include: Trump's leadership style described as combining Reagan-era decisiveness with bold, contemporary military strategy. Iran's leadership targeted to prevent future threats, drawing parallels to prior U.S. operations in Afghanistan. Coordination with Latin American countries to dismantle cartel networks and secure borders. The use of precise military force, including targeted strikes, as a tool to stabilize regions and protect U.S. interests. Concerns about potential disasters, such as nuclear or dirty bomb attacks, and strategies to mitigate these risks. Assertions that Democrats may have been allied with hostile foreign actors, emphasizing the urgency of decisive action. The episode emphasizes the historic nature of these actions, framing them as a new chapter in American foreign policy where leadership, timing, and bold decisions shape global outcomes. Key Takeaways Trump and allies engaged with multiple Latin American nations to combat cartels and organized crime. Iran's leadership was targeted to neutralize imminent threats and prevent Democratic influence on hostile actors. U.S. military precision and coordination with international partners were central to the strategy. Cuban political change is anticipated as part of broader regional restructuring. Analysts highlight the unprecedented nature of U.S. actions in this era of history.

From contested UK cooperation in the Iran conflict to explosive domestic terrorism and unresolved Epstein case mysteries, today's episode dissects the chaos at home and abroad. President Donald Trump navigates allies' delays, military strategy, and geopolitical risk, while law enforcement and media misreport ISIS-inspired attacks in New York City. Plus, shocking DOJ revelations from the Epstein case highlight systemic failure. Episode Summary The United States' Iran operation sparks global and domestic controversies. The UK initially refused U.S. requests to use military bases for attacks on Iran, creating a diplomatic firestorm. Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced heavy criticism from Tony Blair and British media, reportedly prioritizing political survival and immigrant voting blocs over allied cooperation. The HMS Dragon deployment and RAF response highlight logistical delays caused by strict labor rules, raising questions about NATO and allied reliability. On the ground, the U.S. and Israel maintain overwhelming air superiority against Iran. President Donald Trump praises the campaign's effectiveness, with thousands of Iranian military targets already struck and ground invasions deemed unnecessary. Energy markets spike, but experts assert the oil price increase is temporary. Domestically, New York City faced terror threats when self-radicalized ISIS supporters targeted protests near Gracie Mansion, using IEDs packed with the volatile “Mother of Satan” explosive. Misreporting by mainstream media initially mischaracterized the attackers and their motives, obscuring the severity of the incident. Legal and political commentary highlights the disconnect between narrative framing and reality. Meanwhile, new DOJ documents on the Jeffrey Epstein case reveal suspicious behavior and cash activity by prison staff before his death, raising further questions about accountability and transparency in federal institutions. Key Takeaways UK initially resisted U.S. requests to use military bases in Iran; Starmer faces criticism from Blair and the British media. HMS Dragon and RAF responses delayed due to labor regulations; NATO reliability questioned. U.S. and Israeli air forces dominate Iranian skies; ground invasion unnecessary. Oil prices spike temporarily; short-term disruptions tied to fear, not supply shortages. ISIS-inspired IED attacks in NYC misreported by media; attackers targeted ideological opponents. DOJ files on Epstein reveal suspicious cash deposits and questionable guard behavior, sparking renewed scrutiny.

Lindsey Graham claims credit for pushing Donald Trump into an unauthorized war with Iran by using word association games and flattery. This conflict has escalated rapidly as the US and Israel utilize advanced artificial intelligence to pick bombing targets and assess battle damage. Despite the lack of an imminent threat or a clear exit strategy, military strikes have already resulted in the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials. Iran has retaliated by targeting US radar installations across the Gulf region, successfully degrading defense systems in multiple countries. At home, American citizens face the consequences with gas prices surging toward $5 a gallon. Within the Republican party, internal friction grows as Dan Crenshaw loses his primary for being insufficiently aligned with the MAGA movement. Donald Trump now threatens to block all legislation unless the SAVE Act is passed, even as a record number of GOP members choose to retire rather than serve in the minority. While global tensions rise and Trump suggests Cuba may be the next target, the focus remains on a war that many argue was entirely avoidable.

Host Annika Brockschmidt sits down with historian Thomas Zimmer for a wide-ranging conversation about the politics of history in the age of Trumpism—and why Zimmer ultimately decided to leave the United States after years teaching at Georgetown and return to Germany with his family. Reflecting on the increasingly hostile climate for scholars and public commentators, Zimmer discusses how harassment, threats, and the broader erosion of democratic norms shaped that decision. From there, the conversation turns to a deeper historical question: how the Trump administration and its intellectual allies are attempting to reshape the story Americans tell about their past. Brockschmidt and Zimmer analyze recent speeches and rhetoric from figures like Donald Trump, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Senator Eric Schmitt, arguing that the contemporary right is moving away from the traditional language of American ideals toward a vision rooted in ancestry, heritage, and “blood and soil” nationalism. They place this rhetoric in historical context, tracing the long-running conflict between civic and ethnic visions of American identity—from the nation's founding through the Civil Rights era and into today's MAGA movement. The result, they argue, is not simply partisan messaging but a broader political project aimed at redefining who counts as a “real” American and rolling back the pluralistic aspirations that emerged from the civil rights revolution.

Matthew digs into the fascism-enabling political theology of Bishop Robert Barron and the rightward slide of Big Catholic media. From his early admiration of Thomas Merton—carefully stripped of his antiwar and anti-capitalist passion—to his praise for Jordan Peterson, Marco Rubio, and Charlie Kirk, Barron repackages Red Scare tropes in the language of beauty, civility, and “religious liberty.” And what about his virtual silence on ICE operations in Minnesota and the suffering of immigrants within his own diocese? What does “religious freedom” mean when it defends  American exceptionalism more than human beings?

This week, Shadi and Damir hosted Cameron Kasky — a rising young activist in the Democratic Party and former congressional candidate for New York's 12th District — who gave us a glimpse into where American politics might be headed. Cameron started his career as a gun control advocate after surviving the Parkland shooting. For his efforts, he was named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in 2018. He has since become a passionate advocate for the Palestinian cause, especially so after Gaza. We recorded this episode a day after Marco Rubio caused a furor by suggesting America's decision to attack Iran was shaped by the fact that Israel might do it without us anyway, leaving our assets in the region dangerously exposed. With increasingly hostile young MAGA voices convinced that Israel holds undue sway over American foreign policy, we discussed how Democrats see a path forward.The conversation got heated at times — Damir goes incandescent over Epstein, Shadi frets about entrenched Democratic leaders not reflecting voters' preferences — but it's an important episode very much worth your time. American politics is changing before our eyes, and anyone thinking we're going back to the way things were after Trump has another thing coming. This is a public episode.

They unpack Trump's obsession with “winning,” the backlash building inside MAGA world, and why rising gas prices could quickly turn the political tide at home. Wolff argues the real key to understanding Trump may not be in the Pentagon or the intelligence briefings—but inside the mind of Jared Kushner, the one person he believes truly understands Trump's thinking and the potential Gulf money and postwar deals at stake. They also dive into the uneasy body language of figures like Marco Rubio and JD Vance, the confusion among world leaders, and the political stakes back home—from the Texas Senate battle to a stunning Kristi Noem hearing that may have been the final straw for Trump to fire her as DHS Secretary.

The Israel–U.S. military campaign in Iran has killed more than 1,000 people since the assault began on February 28. A war powers resolution in the Senate to curb President Donald Trump's ability to drag the U.S. into the war failed on Wednesday. Similarly, a measure in the House failed on Thursday. “This war is just a few days old and it's escalating really quickly,” says Ali Gharib, senior editor at The Intercept. “It's becoming a regional conflict,” as Iran retaliates and targets U.S. bases as well as Israel and Gulf energy sites. This week on The Intercept Briefing, Gharib discusses the human and political toll of the Israel–U.S. war on Iran with co-host Jordan Uhl and journalist Séamus Malekafzali, who has been based in Paris and Beirut.“Trump has repeatedly failed to articulate anything — even resembling coherent — about why the U.S. got into this war,” says Gharib. He adds, “Marco Rubio even — who again, not the sharpest tool in the shed, but usually has his shit pretty together — but in this case, he's like changing his tune every two days because he has to keep up with Trump's inanity about what the reasons for the war were.”The end game for Israel here, says Malekafzali, is they want “a state that is incapable of defending itself, a state that is no longer sovereign.” He adds, “If you are bombarding police stations, if you are bombarding hospitals and schools, border guards, when you are attacking the very fabric of any society as your main target, CENTCOM and the IDF together, that means that you are going toward state collapse.”“These are hard-won lessons over and over again for the United States — war after war, fallout, blowback. It just happens again and again. And yet we always seem to get leaders who are willing to run willy-nilly into these things,” says Gharib.Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.

Hi. On today's episode, Katy, Cody, and Jonathan talk about the "reassigning" of Kristi Noem, Marco Rubio's incoherent explanation for the start of the Iran War, the disappearance of JD Vance, and the horrifying reality that the U.S. military probably bombed that elementary school.As always, we recorded right before that big thing that happened.PATREON: https://patreon.com/somemorenewsMERCH: https://shop.somemorenews.comYOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvlj0IzjSnNoduQF0l3VGng/join#EvenMoreNews #Iran #KristiNoemSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I didn't expect the day's biggest story to land before the show even got rolling, but the first major cabinet domino of the Trump administration has finally fallen. Kristi Noem is out as Secretary of Homeland Security.The immediate cause appears to be a congressional hearing exchange that went sideways. During testimony before Sen. John Kennedy, Noem said that a $200 million ad campaign — one that prominently featured her — had been approved by the president. The White House later said it had not, and it's that contradiction that seems to have been the final straw for Trump.It's no secret that the ground had been shifting under Noem for a while. Critical press coverage had been building, particularly around operational issues inside DHS. Some of it focused on headline controversies, but much of it involved the less glamorous details of running a department: delayed contracts, paperwork sitting unsigned, and basic administrative work that insiders say was slipping through the cracks.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Complicating matters was the presence of Corey Lewandowski, who had developed a reputation inside the department as a, let's say, aggressive and polarizing figure. According to people around Washington, he made enemies across the bureaucracy, and those tensions ultimately became inseparable from Noem's own standing within the administration.Trump's apparent choice to replace her is Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, a former MMA fighter who has built a reputation in Washington as a loyal Trump ally and a frequent presence on television.In some ways, Mullin is a pragmatic pick. Replacing a cabinet secretary this late in a term can be politically tricky because any nominee must survive Senate confirmation. A sitting senator already has relationships and credibility inside the chamber, making it easier for colleagues to vote yes even if the appointment is politically uncomfortable.That dynamic worked to the administration's advantage when Marco Rubio moved into a cabinet role earlier in the term, and it could play out similarly here. Senators are often more willing to confirm someone they know than an unfamiliar nominee from outside Washington.Noem's departure also lands in the middle of a broader policy fight. DHS remains partially shut down due to a standoff between Democrats and the administration over immigration enforcement policies.From my perspective, this moment could provide Democrats with a face-saving off-ramp. With Noem gone, they could claim a political victory and move toward reopening the department without appearing to capitulate entirely on their policy demands. The alternative — maintaining a shutdown while security risks mount — carries its own political dangers.When federal security agencies operate without full funding, the political blame game gets complicated very quickly if something goes wrong.Fallout from the Texas PrimariesMeanwhile, the ripple effects from the Texas primary elections are already shaping the next phase of the campaign cycle. Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton are heading toward a runoff, and President Trump has signaled he may intervene with an endorsement.Paxton has already indicated he won't automatically step aside even if Trump backs Cornyn, raising the possibility that the party's internal fight could stretch out for weeks. Democrats, for their part, clearly prefer facing Paxton in the general election given his long history of scandals and investigations.Another runoff will take place in Texas's 23rd congressional district, where Tony Gonzalez is facing intense pressure after admitting he had an affair with a staffer.The admission carries serious implications. Relationships between members of Congress and staff can trigger ethics violations, and Gonzalez now faces an ongoing investigation. Leadership within the Republican caucus is reportedly signaling that even if he wins the runoff, he could still face consequences in Washington.In other words, his political future may already be decided regardless of how the voters rule.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:01 - Kristi Noem00:08:07 - Markwayne Mullin00:11:19 - Interview with Jennifer Doleac00:33:22 - Update00:33:54 - Cornyn/Paxton00:36:47 - Tony Gonzales00:39:36 - Mullin's Senate Replacement00:41:36 - Interview with Jennifer Doleac, con't01:00:14 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

The HITO men continue to discuss the war with Iran: how expensive it is, how long it will last, and its human costs. Nobody seems to have their story straight on whether the very obvious regime change is a regime change or not. Marco Rubio gave us a not-so-rare peak behind the curtain when he told reporters Israel dragged us into this and Pete Hegseth is being endlessly corny. Considering the massive cost attached to this war (possibly $50 billion+), the HITO men of course take time to talk about our Democrats who may vote to fund it. Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodSubstack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/HITO Merch: https://headintheoffice.com/ Get 40% off Ground News: https://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=headintheoffice YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) Senator injures protesting Marine veteran(3:50) Intro/reviews(11:45) WAR IN IRAN IS BAD(44:00) What are MY Democrats up to?(1:07:58) Extras: Anthropic vs DOD, attacks on trans folks in Kansas(1:16:25) Ending/reviewsSeen on this episode:Iran updates - https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/how-many-people-have-been-killed-us-israel-war-iran-2026-03-03/ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/5/israeli-strikes-hit-beirut-amid-threats-on-iranian-officials-in-lebanonhttps://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/04/democrats-iran-supplemental-funding-00813547https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2026/03/03/how-trumps-war-with-iran-could-have-already-cost-over-1-billion/https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/iran-war-could-cost-billions-144909964.htmlhttps://www.syracuse.com/politics/2026/03/see-what-trump-and-hegseth-had-to-say-about-american-troops-in-iran.htmlhttps://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-trump-administrations-reckless-war-in-iran-has-already-cost-more-than-5-billion/https://fortune.com/2026/03/04/iran-conflict-could-swap-one-bad-leader-for-another-200-billion-dollar-cost/https://www.axios.com/2026/03/05/iran-leader-trump-khameneiKansas anti-trans billhttps://www.cnn.com/2026/03/05/us/kansas-trans-drivers-license-bathroom-law

Mehdi and Ayman Mohyeldin have a lot in common: They were both born in the same year, they're both immigrants and naturalized US citizens, they're both Muslim, and they both worked at Al Jazeera and then MSNBC (now MS NOW). As Mehdi says to his former colleague, "I look at you and I feel like I'm looking at a taller, better looking, Arab version of myself." Ayman joins Mehdi in Washington DC for the latest episode of 'We're Not Kidding' to discuss their careers in TV journalism, the failures of Western media on Gaza, and the new US war with Iran. The two discuss Israel's role in instigating the war, Benjamin Netanyahu's decades-long obsession with toppling the Iranian regime, as well as the media's unwillingness to name Israel as an influence on US foreign policy. "Israel has said it wants regime change in Iran for 40 years, but you couldn't say that until Marco Rubio came out and said that," Ayman says. As one of the only American journalists who lived in Gaza during the 2008-09 war, Ayman brings a perspective on the region that few other mainstream journalists are able to. The two talk about Ayman's history of reporting on the conflict, what has changed (and sadly not changed), as well as the shortcomings of most Western media outlets in offering balanced coverage.  The two also discuss: Beginning their journalism careers in the post 9/11 era. Double standard attacks levied against Muslim journalists. Bari Weiss and her "Iran expert" Douglas Murray. Which Republican lawmakers are "dumb as shit."

More than a decade ago, Marco Rubio warned the Senate that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action would empower Iran to expand its missile program and threaten U.S. forces. Today, the exact weapons he predicted are at the center of the current conflict. Tara breaks down the stunning clip from the Senate floor that appears to forecast today's crisis—and why critics argue the deal championed by Barack Obama helped pave the way for the missile capabilities now being targeted by the United States and Israel. EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, Tara revisits a remarkable warning delivered by Marco Rubio on the Senate floor more than a decade ago during the debate over the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the nuclear agreement negotiated by the Barack Obama administration with Iran. At the time, Rubio argued the deal would do more than address nuclear enrichment—it would allow Iran to strengthen its conventional military capabilities and expand its ballistic missile program. According to Rubio's warning, sanctions relief and financial windfalls could fund new weapons systems, empower Iran's regional influence, and make it increasingly dangerous for U.S. forces operating in the Middle East. More than ten years later, those predictions are being reexamined as the United States and Israel target Iranian missile infrastructure capable of striking regional bases and beyond. Tara explains how critics of the deal say the agreement removed or weakened previous restrictions on missile development, while providing Iran access to billions in previously frozen funds. The episode also explores the broader political debate surrounding the deal. Supporters argued that diplomatic engagement was the best path to prevent nuclear escalation and stabilize the region. Opponents warned that sanctions relief could strengthen Iran's military posture and regional ambitions. Tara also revisits statements from Hillary Clinton during the 2008 presidential campaign, highlighting how U.S. political leaders across parties once emphasized the importance of deterring Iranian nuclear capabilities. With tensions escalating today, the conversation raises a critical question: were the long-term risks of the Iran deal underestimated, or was it a necessary attempt to prevent a larger conflict? SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS Rubio's Senate Floor Prediction A clip from Marco Rubio outlines the exact missile threat now dominating headlines. The Iran Deal Debate A closer look at the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the arguments made by both supporters and critics. Missiles and Military Strategy Why Iran's ballistic missile development has become a central issue in regional security. From Diplomacy to Conflict How policy decisions made during the Barack Obama administration continue to shape today's geopolitical landscape. Political Warnings Revisited Statements from Hillary Clinton and other leaders show how seriously the Iranian threat was viewed across the political spectrum. KEY TAKEAWAYS A decade-old Senate warning about Iran's missile program is gaining new attention. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action remains one of the most controversial foreign policy decisions of the last generation. Iran's ballistic missile capabilities are now central to current military operations. Long-term geopolitical consequences of major diplomatic deals can take years to fully unfold.

A chilling reality about modern warfare and U.S. policy emerges in this episode. Tara exposes the staggering number of Iranian-backed attacks on American bases during the Joe Biden administration—more than 220 strikes in just two years. Why didn't the White House respond? And what does it mean for U.S. troops stationed across the Middle East and Europe? The conversation becomes deeply personal as Tara reveals how researching these attacks forced a difficult conversation with her own child about joining the military. Meanwhile, past warnings from Marco Rubio and the current strategy of Donald Trump come into focus as the broader geopolitical picture surrounding Iran becomes clearer. Episode Summary: In this powerful episode, Tara dives into a largely ignored reality of the last few years: repeated Iranian and proxy attacks against U.S. military installations. According to reports, American bases and outposts endured more than 220 strikes during the presidency of Joe Biden, leaving dozens of service members injured—including over a hundred catastrophic traumatic brain injuries. The issue hits close to home. Tara shares the deeply personal story of discussing military service with her daughter and confronting the harsh realities of modern conflict. As Iran expands its drone capabilities and proxy warfare tactics across the Middle East, American troops stationed abroad face growing risks. The episode revisits warnings made over a decade ago by Senator Marco Rubio, who predicted that Iran would use sanctions relief and financial windfalls to expand its military power, arm proxy forces, and increase attacks on American personnel. Those warnings, Tara argues, have now played out. Tara also recounts the political fallout following the killing of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani during the administration of Donald Trump, contrasting the response then with what she sees as a lack of decisive retaliation in later attacks on U.S. troops. The discussion ultimately centers on a broader question: how American foreign policy decisions affect the safety of service members—and what it means for families whose children are considering military service today. Key Topics Covered: Over 220 attacks on U.S. bases linked to Iranian forces or proxies The impact on American troops and traumatic brain injuries Personal conversations about military service and risk Senator Marco Rubio's warnings about Iran's military expansion The killing of Qasem Soleimani and its political aftermath Debate over U.S. response strategies under Joe Biden The role of Donald Trump in confronting Iranian threats How Iran's proxy warfare strategy targets U.S. forces abroad

Tara exposes the long-term consequences of the Barack Obama Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), revealing how it allowed Iran to build long-range ballistic missiles capable of hitting U.S. bases in Europe. Eleven years ago, Marco Rubio warned Congress that sanctions relief would strengthen Iran's military power—and history has proven him right. This episode also covers the staggering 223 attacks on American bases under Joe Biden, the personal risks facing service members, and how Donald Trump's actions aimed to counter these threats. Tara shares a deeply personal story about talking to her child about the real dangers of military service in today's world. Episode Summary: In this eye-opening episode, Tara traces the origins of today's Iranian missile threats back to the Obama-era JCPOA, showing how the deal effectively allowed Iran to develop long-range ballistic missiles while giving them $56 billion in frozen assets. Eleven years ago, Senator Marco Rubio warned that sanctions relief would make Iran the dominant military power in the Middle East, enable attacks on U.S. forces, and increase the cost of America's presence abroad. Tara explains how those predictions came true, with missiles now threatening bases across Europe and beyond. The episode also details 223 attacks on U.S. military outposts under Joe Biden's watch, resulting in hundreds of catastrophic injuries, and the political ramifications of unpunished Iranian aggression. Tara shares her personal experience of navigating these realities with her child, highlighting the modern risks of military service. Finally, the podcast touches on related global threats, including Chinese military maneuvers near Taiwan, the U.S. military's strategic response, and the broader context of American strength in confronting adversaries. The episode underscores how historical policy decisions continue to shape present-day national security challenges. Key Topics Covered: JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) and Obama-era policy failures Long-range ballistic missile development in Iran Marco Rubio's 11-year-old warnings about Iran's military expansion 223 attacks on U.S. bases under Biden, catastrophic troop injuries Personal reflections on military service and family safety Trump's interventions against Iranian threats Global security context: China, Taiwan, and U.S. military readiness

Darrell Castle talks about the war, declared by President Trump, against the nation of Iran. Does he have Constitutional authority to declare war; why would he do so; and what does it mean? Transcription / Notes PRESIDENT TRUMP DECLARES WAR AGAINST IRAN Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 6th day of March in the year of our Lord 2026. My beat is war today and war is obviously the most important story in the world right now as President Trump, unilaterally it seems, decided to make war against a nation that apparently had not harmed the U.S. and was not a threat to the U.S. Why then did President Trump do it. I'll give my thoughts on that but first let's look at what he did. The U.S. spent a few months building up forces in the Middle East region while negotiating or pretending to negotiate a settlement. The U.S. demands became increasingly more difficult for the Iranians to comply with including give up the use of peaceful nuclear power except for medical purposes. Surrender all enriched uranium that you currently possess and allow international inspection. Give up all offensive missiles and drones. Cease all support for your terrorist proxies across the region. Finally, you must change your head of state and give up your oppressive theocratic government. Well, those are some bitter pills for a sovereign country to swallow and some people believe they were designed to lure the Iranians into complacency while a serious attack was always the plan. The battle forces assembling in the region would have said to me were I head of state in Iran, prepare for serious war. I would have made defensive preparations such as moving my leadership and especially myself to a safe area. Iran didn't do that and with the Ayatollah's rejection of the peace proposal on Friday, he was dead within 24 hours. Once again, the U.S. war machine and the high-tech war fighting ability of the U.S. are amazing and a demonstration for the world. Two carrier battle groups including the largest warship in the world. Two hundred fighter jets which, by the way, cost $10,000 for each hour of flight operations so if they were all in the air at once which they often were, that's $2 million per hour. The last time I looked these figures up it cost about $25 million per day to keep a carrier battle group at sea and in-flight ops. Fifty thousand U.S. personnel, we are told, are currently engaged in combat. Six U.S. soldiers are known dead having been killed in Kuwait from an Iranian missile or drone strike. It seems that the Iranians misread he reactions of their neighbors because they reacted by attacking everyone in the region, thus driving the entire region into a military alliance with the U.S. The U.S. at the time of this recording has launched over 2000 sorties against Iran and the Iranians have fired over 500 missiles and over 2000 drones about 10% of which get through,.  Iran attacked U.S. bases and civilian targets in countries including Israel, The Gulf Arab States, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq. Only one has been fired at Turkey even though the U.S. has bases in Turkey. These figures don't consider the Israeli attacks which were, of course supplied by the U.S. for the most part. The arrangement was apparently that Israel would attack command and control systems and assassinate personnel including the head of state while the U. S. attacked the ability of Iran to retaliate with missiles and drones. So, does the President of the United States have the Constitutional authority to take the nation to war. My short answer is no but ever since the Korean War the U.S has held the view that as Commander-in-Chief the President can constitutionally command the military to do what he wants but that is not my view and it was not the view of the founders. Commander-in-chief means that once war is declared by congress he runs it. Our system of government does not allow one individual to put the entire population at risk by unilaterally and individually making war. What about the War Powers Resolution passed in 1973 which gives the President authority to commit troops to battle anywhere in the world for 90 days without congressional approval. Anyway, he said he briefed the 8 leaders of congress known as the gang of 8. My opinion is that the War Powers Resolution is unconstitutional. No one seems to care anymore what that document says or what it means and very few want to be limited by its words. So, to prevent the restraint it requires, congress passed a resolution essentially amending it and as I said that is unconstitutional. However, I admit that the resolution is what he used and even though it is misused and misapplied it gives him a pretty good argument for unlimited power. Most in congress will no longer argue that the President does not have authority to do what he has done. So, having looked at what he did now we ask why he did it.  Part of the answer was the usual i.e. the Iranians are terrible people who arrest a protester and hang him the next day. Prison guards routinely rape virgin girls who are arrested by the moral police because they believe that when they murder the girls they will be barred from heaven. Most of the explanation he gave had to do with nuclear weapons. Although just a few months ago he “obliterated” their nuclear program they were, he said, rebuilding it. The International Atomic Energy Agency of the UN said that Iran was enriching to 60% and only nuclear armed countries did that. Iran was supplying the whole hostile world including Russia with drone and missile technology. My understanding is that Iran's hypersonic technology came from China. There is an elephant in the room that he did not mention and that is Israel. This entire war is so obviously at the behest of Israel that I can't understand why the U.S. is not a little humiliated by it. Netanyahu said publicly that what Israel and the U.S. are doing is something he has dreamed of doing for 40 years. The real reason diplomacy could not work was not any of the things listed but something Marco Rubio announced to reporters on Monday. “It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone, the United States or Israel, or anyone, they were going to respond and respond against the United States. We knew there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that would precipitate an attack on American forces, and we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after Iran before Israel launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.” So, if you reason this out and apply logic the reason we attacked Iran, killed many civilians, destroyed much infrastructure was that if we hadn't our ally would have gone rogue and launched its own war thus exposing the U.S. to much higher casualties. In that sense, then operation Epic Fury was an act of self-defense, against Israel. The nation of Israel puts Israel first so I wonder why the U.S. won't do the same. Why won't U.S. leaders tell our ally you launch your jets which you got from us and you will lose all American support and all-American bases in the Middle East or you can restrain your murderous impulses and remain our ally. The answer to that question probably explains the whole war but who knows the answer for sure. Maybe the answer is in the Epstein files but who knows. I know that when JFK gave Israel a firm no on their development of nuclear weapons he didn't live long and LBJ quickly reversed his decision. So, whatever the relationship between U.S. presidents and Israeli leaders throughout Israel's history President Trump is inclined to listen to Bibi and neocons in America rather than his Maga base. He promised the Maga people he would not start another disastrous, stupid, pointless, and very costly Middle East war but here we are. It appears that for the second time in President Trump's second term he used negotiations as a cover for a decision already made to go to war. Launching a military strike during negotiations could have the long-lasting effect of destroying trust in U.S. diplomacy so it's risky. Another reason for this that I admit is not obvious but this attack is an attack on China and Russia as well as the other BRICS. The U.S. does not want WWlll in the traditional sense because in today's nuclear world that would result in a worldwide catastrophe with no winners, only losers. Instead, today's war is about trade, money, commerce, etc. Who gets to run the world order of today. World orders come and go and they have throughout the centuries. In fact, the world order that emerged in 1648 formed by the Peace of Westphalia or the treaty by that name makes the most sense to me. It lasted It ended the 30 years war in which Europe was devastated and starving. It lasted from 1648 to 1803 when it was destroyed by Nepoleon. The treaty involved much of old Europe including the Holy Roman Empire and it allowed a world in which nations agreed they would stop unprovoked attacks on each other and would not assassinate each other's leaders. It brought peace and allowed the people of Europe to prosper and be fed again. Eventually, world orders and peace agreements always break down into violence and bloodshed. Today, the new order of the world is trying to form and it has devolved into proxy wars, economic wars, cyber wars, biological wars, sabotage wars, and information wars. Russia and China resent U.S. dominance and attempt to topple it while the U. S. will hold it by any means necessary. In conclusion, I don't know anything about this war for certain but I try to use logic to make the best guess possible. I know that China has stopped export of oil and gas and restricted its domestic use.  China imports 11 million barrels per day 45% of which comes through the gulf. Perhaps Chinese tankers could buy the new U.S. provided insurance thus bypassing Lloyds of London which has run shipping for over 100 years. Could that result in a new U.S., China, Russia alliance, who knows. Finally, folks, I close with the words of Ron Paul now 90 years old but as wise as ever. “Here's a plan: End this today. Return the destroyed U.S. bases to the countries where they are located. And just come home. That is what a real “America First” movement looks like.” At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

President Donald Trump addressed the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, defending the military campaign as necessary to prevent a larger nuclear threat and asserting that Iran's air force, navy, and missile capabilities have been largely "knocked out." He denied claims that Israel, under Netanyahu, forced the U.S. into the war, instead claiming that "if anything, I might have forced Israel's hand" because he believed Iran was preparing to attack first amid failed negotiations. In a key moment, Trump announced new strikes targeting Iranian leadership and speculated on post-regime possibilities, noting that many potential moderate successors "are dead" after the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He also threatened to cut off all trade ties with Spain, calling the country "terrible" and "unfriendly" for refusing to allow U.S. use of its military bases. Overall, Trump portrayed Operation Epic Fury as progressing ahead of schedule, while the conflict widened with Iranian retaliatory strikes on Gulf targets and U.S. pledges to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.

It's Hump Day on The Majority Report   On today's program:   The Trump administration still cannot explain the reasoning for this war in Iran or if it's a war at all. This confusion comes after Marco Rubio and House Speaker Mike Johnson suggested that the timing of U.S. strikes was driven by Israel's planned attack on Iran, arguing that a preemptive strike was necessary to protect American forces, installations, and assets in the region. Trump has since contradicted Rubio and Johnson after his ego was hurt by the suggestion that he is controlled by Israel which forced Rubio to walk back his statements from Monday.   Mike Masnick, editor of Tech Dirt and Brian Reed, host of Question Everything on KCRW join the program to discuss their opposing views on Section 230 of Communications Decency Act of 1996.   Chuck Schumer, Markwayne Mulling and John Fetterman all stumble over their words as they address the media on Iran.   MS NOW contributor David Rohde debunks Witkoff's claims that Iran had enough enriched uranium to make 11 nuclear weapons.   James Talarico wins the democrat primary for the Senate.   Frederick Haynes wins the dem primary in TX-30, the seat that will replace Jasmine Crockett.   all that and more   To connect and organize with your local ICE rapid response team visit ICERRT.com The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt held her first press briefing since Operation Epic Fury and was pressed about what the imminent threat was from Iran, that prompted the U.S. Israeli attack. Leavitt repeatedly told reporters that President Trump made his decision based on a “good feeling” that the Iranian regime was going to strike U.S. assets. When pressed, she added that Trump’s feeling was based on fact, and refused to acknowledge the shifting explanations coming from the administration over the past few days: first from the President himself, then from Pete Hegseth, to Marco Rubio, and now from Leavitt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The House Oversight Committee has boldly released full video footage of Bill and Hillary Clinton's depositions on their ties to Jeffrey Epstein, finally bringing transparency to the American people about the elite's connections to this monster. Bill dodges tough questions with convenient memory lapses, while Hillary grows visibly upset and snaps during pointed grilling by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), exposing her arrogance and defensiveness when confronted with uncomfortable facts. The Clintons' evasive answers and heated outbursts only confirm their long history of putting personal power above accountability and justice for victims. Kudos to the committee for cutting through the swamp and getting these damning truths out — America deserves to see the real Clintons unfiltered. We also cover: Marco Rubio on imminent threat.
