Podcasts about Memorandum

As Andrew puts it, Chief Justice John Roberts is “cherry-picking.” He's flying solo in this short edition of Main Justice (more to come with Mary in the next episode). Andrew gives a quick briefing on several of the Supreme Court's most consequential end-of-term rulings, starting with the decision not to hear an appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. Andrew also touches on the Court's decision to uphold a Mississippi law to allow mail-in ballots that are sent by Election Day to be counted but saves his deepest analysis for two similar cases with opposing decisions: the firings of Lisa Cook and Rebecca Slaughter. While the Court ruled that the Trump administration must have cause to dismiss Cook from the Federal Reserve, it allowed the government to fire Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission, a decision which Andrew calls deeply flawed showing the conservative majority's support for a “unitary executive.”  And finally, Andrew breaks down the Court's narrow decision to uphold birthright citizenship, and why the tight 5-4 split is the story.

Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss the fragile US-Iran ceasefire and a flawed memorandum concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Roggio argues the agreement effectively grants Iran control, while Haqqani notes GCC countries feel excluded and wary of de-escalation on Iranian terms. The US lacks a plan to force Iranian understanding of consequences. 1

Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio examine regional dynamics, noting the Iranian system remains unchanged despite the Supreme Leader's death. Haqqani describes the US-Iran memorandum as a "damp squib" that ignores fundamental security issues. Roggio suggests Saudi Arabia feels "stuck" with the US but may reconsider its primary regional backing. 2

Preview for Later Today: Edmund Fitton-Brown. Edmund Fitton-Brown characterizes the Memorandum of Understanding regarding Iran as a "catastrophic" and unstable document. He doubts discussions will resolve underlying issues like nuclear development or the status of the Strait of Hormuz.1849 TEHRAN

Trump's proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the U.S. and Iran is so dreadful that even the network that helped get him elected cannot muster much enthusiasm for it.The producers at Fox & Friends trotted out several experts who said the pending agreement was worse than no deal between the two countries. Brian Kilmeade even snapped an experienced military expert who tried to downplay the agreement's shortcomings.Sean Hannity shifted his focus to criticizing the newly opened Obama Presidential Center rather than try to promote the deeply flawed MoU. The cast of The Five spoke about it in vague terms but spent far more time and effort on what they were called the socialist revolution in the Democratic Party.The only holdout was Jesse Watters; a man so dim he once asked during an episode of The Five if seals could breathe out of water. Seals are covered in fur and have puppy-like faces - two obvious signs of mammalian traits.In the four and a half years I've covered Fox News I have never seen the network abandon Donald J. Trump as they did last week. Normally Fox will simply ignore stories it cannot spin as it did during the Israel-Hamas conflict, the many scandals surrounding the Epstein files, and countless embarrassing gaffes and alarming social media posts made by President Trump.Instead of pretending the MoU didn't exist multiple Fox News hosts and guests openly criticized it. It was shocking to witness as this is incredibly unusual for a network that thanked its viewers for voting for Trump and enthusiastically celebrated his inauguration.Fox News is the Trump administration in many ways as over 20 former Fox News hosts or contributors have government positions in the president's second term. While several former Trump officials, such as Kayleigh McEnany and Kellyanne Conway are now Fox News employees.There is no line between the propaganda network and the president's mind as Trump has been known to change policy soon after a Fox News host suggests it on air. The president has also posted slogans, conspiracy theories and policy ideas on social media minutes after they were broadcast on Fox News.Most of the pushback against Trump's MoU came from the folks on Fox & Friends. The corporate heads at Fox News have the most influence over the popular morning show than any other programming.It seems that the corporate leadership or even the Murdoch family is trying to send the president a message since they know he's a devoted fan of the morning show.Other topics the network spent a lot of airtime covering last week:* The socialist takeover of the Democratic Party* European World Cup attendees falling in love with America* Liberals lack of patriotism* How the FBI foiled a terrorist attack planned for the UFC fight at the White House.There was little talk of the affordability crisis or domestic issues, but Fox did mention that Ukraine managed to strike military targets in Moscow. Fox has gone weeks without including much of anything about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.This week's newsletter is solely dedicated to how the network framed the pending MoU between the United States and Iran. It's so unusual for Fox News to openly criticize the Trump administration that I felt it was far more important to cover this than the usual ‘Democrats are terrible' schtick on the network.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel On our political radar this week… AI created satire (in case you couldn’t figure that out!) There are dead ducks everywhere. In Switzerland, it could well be J.D. Vance's presidential ambitions as the 60-day pause in Trump's War is looking shakier by the day. In Lansing, it's the almost invisible but now dead campaign of state Senate GOP Leader Aric Nesbitt's gubernatorial campaign, with the final blow coming from Donald Trump. And in the nation's capitol, it's literally dead ducks … at least three of them spotted in the Trump-created algae-laden cesspool also known as the Reflecting Pool. In addition to the Nesbitt departure, there are a few other developments in the GOP race for Governor. Donald Trump has given is “Full and Complete Endorsement” to John James, and Perry Johnson is spending more of his millions on a massive statewide advertising blitz. Expect Mike Cox to do the same State House Speaker Matt Hall says there's agreement on a framework for a state budget … you might call it a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). But as Vance and the two real estate developers are learning in Switzerland, there's a big gap between an MOU and actual results. There's big news about the 250th national birthday celebration in Washington D.C. In addition to a riveting 90-minute rant from Trump, you can look forward to a performance from renowned country singer Alexis Wilson … best known for her ongoing role as Kash Patel's girlfriend. President Trump had another hissy fit this week, delaying the signing of a bipartisan housing bill. He announced he won’t sign the legislation until the Senate passes his voter suppression bill which he calls the SAVE Act. The bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing Act, aiming to ease the U.S. housing affordability crisis by streamlining construction rules, promoting local innovation and restricting large investor purchases.  It passed by overwhelming majorities in both chambers. Trump clearly places a higher priority on voter suppression than housing for Americans who aren’t wealthy like him. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is celebrating a reversal by Homeland Security, which says it has cancelled plans to turn a warehouse in Romulus into a prison for undocumented immigrants. Former Homeland Director Kristi Noem spent more than $1-billion buying 10 warehouses … all of them for prices well above their appraised value. Taxpayers will lost hundreds-of-millions as a result of Noem's hugely unpopular program. In New York City, the Mamdani slate swept the very Democratic city. In two non-Big Apple races, the winners for Democrats included women military veterans … including Vice Admiral Jenny LaCore, who was fired last year by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as part of his purge of top military officers. She's running for the seat formerly held by Nancy Mace who opted to run for Governor (which she lost). Republicans will clearly try to brand the entire Democratic Party as captive of Mamdani Democratic Socialists. Does that work for them? And since our last episode, a celebration…but only if your name is Trump. Carvana or CarMax has delivered Donald Trump's new ride. It’s a slightly used imported gold-encrusted airplane (a.k.a. $400-million bribe from Qatar), tastefully detailed with a whole lot of electronic do-dads, all paid for by U.S. taxpayers at a cost of around a billion dollars. Trump plans to keep it as his White House going-away bauble. This moment of joy in MAGAvillemoved us to create a musical tribute to Donald's Golden Dream Machine which, for our YouTube viewers, also includes a brief photo tour of the free-but-not-really-free gift to Trump.

So, $132 Billion dollars and for what? If you ask certain people they might say that's how many ways things got fucked up. The Iran war/not-war Memorandum of Understanding is already a complete disaster and how is our dear leader handling it? By simultaneously being nasty to a former president and utilizing some good ole' fashioned deflection. In the form or reflection, pool that is. All run down this week as Lewis Black tries to make sense of the week for all of us.

One week after President Trump signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran, the 60-day negotiation window is already under pressure — and the concessions are piling up.Iran has gained unblocked oil sales, potential sanctions relief on frozen assets, and signals that Washington may allow Tehran to keep its ballistic missile program. Meanwhile, the US is pressuring Israel to stand down against Hezbollah. So, is this two-page MOU actually worth paper it's written on?FDD Iran Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow Behnam Ben Taleblu joins host Bill Roggio to break it all down.

There's a lot on the docket today. To pull apart the Iran “deal” framework, Mary and Andrew are joined by Tess Bridgeman, an international law expert who served as a legal advisor in the Obama administration through the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Tess lays out how President Trump's 14-point memorandum of understanding differs from what was brokered in 2015, and what to watch for as negotiations continue. Before she joins, the co-hosts begin by analyzing several examples of what Mary calls the Trump Justice Department's "consistent effort” to avoid judicial review: their refusal to put into a sworn declaration that they won't move forward with the “Anti-Weaponization” fund and a motion to dismiss a Clean Air Act violation lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI data center in Mississippi. They also tackle a few instances where, contrastingly, the government has positioned itself “on the offense” this week, including an indictment of 15 protesters on a conspiracy charge against ICE and the DHS' intent to build a border wall through a holy landmark atop Mount Cristo Rey in New Mexico.

The Flaws of the Iran Memorandum. Guest: Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio. Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the current US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, calling it a failure of negotiation that incorporates "every Iranian trick." He argues Iran's core goals—the destruction of Israel and the expulsion of US influence—remain unchanged, and that the US has displayed a defeatist lack of patience. 111721

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the election of Zohran Mamdani was just the beginning, Democratic socialists are back in the spotlight after notching two high-profile mayoral primary victories in major cities this month. While some see the results as a sign that DSA candidates and ideas are gaining traction in the Democratic Party, others caution against drawing broader ideological conclusions, saying the races reflect voters' desire for change as the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential election loom. Also audio from CNN anylist Harry Entin on the lack of patriotism from Democrats / a discussion on MediCare and MedicAid / and the Memorandum of "Misunderstanding".

Senate passes an Iran War Powers Act resolution to require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces. House also passed it, but it is symbolic. It will not go to the president desk for a signature or veto, and therefore has no force of law; President Trump insists Iran will allow international nuclear inspectors to enter their country, despite what they are saying now, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio begins a tour of Gulf states to shore up support for the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran that has halted the war; Senators are asked today about President Trump's planned visit to Capitol Hill Wednesday to meet with Senate Republicans to talk about the Iran War and the SAVE America Act to require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote; President Donald Trump tours a Mack Truck facility in a competitive Congressional district in Pennsylvania and gives a speech on his economic agenda, highlighting his tariffs, saying, 'American Roads will be filled with American Trucks'; Voters in New York, South Carolina, Maryland and Utah are casting ballots in primary elections. NYC's Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani has endorsed candidates in line with his Democratic Socialist economic vision, in some cases opposing incumbent Democrats; U.S. House is expected to pass a bipartisan affordable housing bill the Senate passed Monday; Senate Democrats mark the fourth anniversary of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning the Constitutional right to abortion.

As the Obama-era Memorandum of Understanding on US military financial aid to Israel is set to expire, Congress has added a provision to the National Defense Authorization Act for 2027 (Section 224) that would fully integrate the Israeli and US militaries, making the countries mutually dependent and giving the Zionist state full access to US intelligence. Clearing the FOG speaks with Benjamin Freeman of The Quincy Institute about the dangers of this section. For example, the new law would increase the power of the Israeli lobby over US politics, remove any limits on financial support, and end Congressional authority or oversight over aid to Israel. He also discusses what people can do to stop it. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.

Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman return from a packed week of travel, covering HPE Discover 2026 and Pure Accelerate hosted by Everpure. They break down the government-forced shutdown of Anthropic's Mythos 5, the Apple-Intel foundry signal, the xAI-Cursor acquisition, and whether enterprise AI spending is actually contracting or simply concentrating. Episode 309 of The Six Five Pod covers the week's events, market moves, and the structural questions that follow. The handpicked topics for this week are: Anthropic Mythos 5 Forced Shutdown: The U.S. government issued a 90-minute compliance window and a worldwide kill switch on Anthropic's Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5 models, forcing them offline across all geographies. Patrick and Daniel examine what this means beyond the immediate headlines: model access has entered the same geopolitical variable set as semiconductor export controls, and every enterprise CIO now has a new on-premises infrastructure argument on the table. The shutdown also surfaced an unexpected counterpoint from the cybersecurity community, which argued that Mythos 5, operating in a defensive capacity, was itself a protection layer against the use of adversarial models. Anthropic's decision to revoke access globally rather than implement citizenship-based authentication reflected both the 90-minute timeline and the practical impossibility of real-time identity verification at scale. (The Decode) HPE Discover 2026: The Agentic Infrastructure Story: Six Five Media spent multiple days at HPE Discover in Las Vegas, live-streaming coverage that drew more than 30,000 viewers across the event. Patrick and Daniel break down HPE's most complete agentic stack story to date, covering its networking-led compute approach, expanded NVIDIA and Broadcom silicon partnerships, autonomous networking through Marvis, and Juniper's integration into the AMD Helios interconnect as a path into hyperscale deals HPE previously lacked access to. (The Decode) Pure Accelerate 2026 and the Everpure Data Primacy Pitch: At Pure Accelerate, Everpure made its clearest case yet for a data intelligence layer designed to reduce token costs in enterprise AI workflows by operating across any storage vendor, any enterprise application, and without being hard-coded into the underlying array. Patrick and Daniel assess the value proposition and the proof burden separately: the concept is differentiated, particularly against Snowflake and Databricks, in that Everpure does not require its own storage hardware, but the company still needs to demonstrate ROI at scale and earn permission to compete in a market where data platform players have already established category positioning. (The Decode) Apple and Intel: The 18AP Signal and What It Sets Up for 14A: The announcement that Apple will manufacture chips with Intel sent Intel's stock up roughly 10%. The hosts parse what that deal likely looks like in practice: 18AP as a test drive for lower-risk logic-layer parts, with the more consequential milestone being a potential M7 SoC on Intel's 18AP process. The underlying driver is the TSMC capacity constraint, with Samsung logic deals picking up across the industry for the same reason. The real inflection point that Patrick notes is 14A: if Intel's backside power delivery process reaches risk production and scales to iPhone volume by 2028, the strategic weight of the Apple relationship will fully materialize. (The Decode) xAI Acquires Cursor for $60 Billion: Elon Musk's xAI acquired Cursor for $60 billion using equity inflated by SpaceX's IPO run-up, a move Patrick characterizes as buying market position in a category where xAI arrived late, having missed the window on thinking models and tool calling. Cursor brought $4 billion in ARR, 7 million monthly active users, and 50% Fortune 500 penetration into the deal. The open question remains whether xAI can convert that installed base into a durable enterprise AI stack or whether it remains primarily a GPU capacity provider selling at well above neo cloud market rates, with the Google-SpaceX deal drawing additional scrutiny as a related-party transaction preceding the IPO. (The Decode) The Flip: Is Enterprise AI Spending Contracting or Concentrating? Patrick takes the position that enterprise AI is entering a rationing phase, pointing to Accenture's bookings decline, Microsoft cutting developer access to cloud code, Uber blowing through cloud licenses, and the emergence of AI cost management as a venture category as converging proof points. Daniel argues the opposing case: dollar volume is growing even as project counts fall, hyperscaler CapEx guidance continues to accelerate across Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta, and what reads as contraction is the market moving from subsidized pilots to production deployments tied to measurable P&L outcomes. Both agree the hard ROI era is arriving, and the real debate is whether that transition reads as discipline or deceleration on the way in. (The Flip) Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's First Meeting: New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh held rates steady in a unanimous decision but delivered remarks that the market viewed as hawkish, sending the S&P lower and two-year yields up 16 basis points before a partial recovery the following day. Patrick and Daniel note the structural signal beneath the reaction: Warsh is establishing the Fed's independence from political pressure while also signaling an intent to move away from survey-based data that arrives three to six months stale, in favor of more real-time economic inputs. Daniel draws a direct line to the kind of forward-looking data infrastructure that firms like Palantir, Databricks, and Snowflake are positioned to provide at the institutional level. (Bulls and Bears) Iran-Israel-U.S. Developments and Oil Below $80: A Memorandum of Understanding between Iran, Israel, and the U.S. briefly sent oil below $80 and signaled a potential opening of the Strait of Hormuz, though by the time of recording, reports were already emerging that the situation may be reversing. Patrick and Daniel keep it brief: the market has largely looked through the geopolitical noise, rallying through the period of conflict, and the oil price signal matters more to the macro environment than the diplomatic specifics. (Bulls and Bears) Accenture Earnings — The Services Layer Faces the Agentic Reckoning: Accenture beat on earnings but missed on revenue. The company reported a bookings decline of 2%, trimmed its 2026 revenue guide by 3-4%, and saw its worst single-day stock reaction in years. Patrick and Daniel use the result as a structural lens rather than a single-quarter data point: agentic AI and enterprise technology vendors are absorbing exactly the work that large professional services firms have historically owned, and the market is beginning to price that displacement ahead of the labor data catching up. Patrick flags this as the canary in the coal mine for the global services industry broadly. (Bulls and Bears) SpaceX IPO Volatility and Valuation Reality: The SpaceX IPO debuted at $135, surged above $210 on its first day of trading, and finished the week around $181. At its peak, the company briefly surpassed the market capitalizations of both Amazon and Microsoft before pulling back. Patrick and Daniel unpack the gap between the premium investors are assigning to Elon Musk and the company's underlying fundamentals. Despite generating roughly $50 billion in annual revenue, SpaceX remains unprofitable, and upcoming lock-up expirations could introduce meaningful volatility, particularly on the downside. Patrick points to long-term comparisons with Amazon and Tesla, while noting that many retail investors are still near break-even.

Preview for Later Today: Guest: Edmund Fitton-Brown. Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding as a disastrous negotiation. He argues the deal incorporates Iranian tricks, frontloads their benefits, and undermines the United States and its regional ally, Israel.1721 PERSIA

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: • First up—Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is closed again, just days after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the United States. We'll look at why the fighting in Lebanon is threatening to derail the deal before negotiations have even begun. • Later in the show—after more than 50 days of disruptive roadblocks, Bolivia's president is escalating the government's response to deadly anti-government protests, deploying the military and declaring emergency powers to restore order. • Plus—Ukraine continues turning the screws on occupied Crimea, forcing Russian authorities to suspend civilian gasoline sales after a series of strikes targeting fuel supplies across the peninsula. • In today's Back of the Brief—relations between Poland and Ukraine hit another rough patch after President Zelenskyy returned Poland's highest state honor in a dispute rooted in World War II history.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they address Vice President JD Vance's optimism about a permanent Iran deal and Jim's frustrations with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the resignation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Tucker Carlson leaving the Republican Party, and a media narrative lamenting the impact of lower crime rates on local businesses.First, Jim and Greg discuss Vice President JD Vance's excitement over the ongoing peace talks with Iran in Switzerland. Jim explains why he's not as bullish as Vance is and why he's staunchly opposed to the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding. Jim also worries we have surrendered our three main sources of leverage over Iran.Next, they examine the political turmoil in the UK following Keir Starmer's resignation as prime minister. He became the sixth prime minister to step down in the last 10 years. Jim argues that the government's refusal to address real issues like immigration and crime will only lead to more public unrest. Then, Jim and Greg react to Tucker Carlson's exit from the Republican Party. Despite speaking at the 2024 Republican National Convention, Carlson now says he regrets his support for Trump and he denounces the GOP for its "betrayal of the American people.” Jim comments on the erratic state of politics today and both wonder what Tucker's next move might be. Finally, they laugh at the media's attempt to frame falling crime rates as a negative development. Oakland, California has seen a significant reduction in car break-ins, but some reporting has focused on the impact that fewer repairs could have on auto glass businesses. Jim and Greg discuss how the coverage unintentionally falls for one of economics' most basic fallacies. Please visit our great sponsors:IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.  Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3MLQuoMoney is on the line.

Things are heating up on the global stage!

Last week, as a frothy stock market continued to zigzag across a high plateau, two events occurred with significant implications for the macroeconomic outlook. First, the President signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, potentially bringing the Iran war to a close. Second, Kevin Warsh presided over his first meeting as Fed Chairman, resulting in a slightly more hawkish tilt to monetary policy in the short run and the promise of significant reform in the long run.

Tony starts the final hour of the show joined with Major Mike Lyons talking about Vice President J.D. Vance leaving Switzerland speaking about the memorandum of understanding. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, we're still waiting for the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran to be released. Iran has a copy. So does Qatar, Pakistan and Turkey. But we don't. And neither does Israel. But even if the deal was made public, no deal will change the behavior of this enemy. The Iranian regime has never and will never change its ideology. To them, we are the enemy and we must be destroyed. Those who insist a deal can be made and that it is preferable, then they have to prove it. Later, motivated by hatred of Trump, billionaires, Israel, and Jeffrey Epstein-related conspiracies, plotted a multi-phase attack on the UFC Freedom 250 White House event using explosive drones on the South Lawn followed by sniper teams to massacre fleeing attendees. The FBI foiled the plot by infiltrating the chats after a suspect's mother alerted police over his firearm purchases and radicalization. These Woke Reich conspiracy promoters are fueling such violence, as the Woke Reich overlaps significantly with Marxist-Islamist left ideologies. When Mark Levin was working in the Reagan administration he argued strenuously against a deal with the congressional Democrats where the administration would agree to grant citizenship to 2.3 million illegal aliens in exchange for promised funds to better secure the border. President Reagan did as promised, but the Democrats reneged. Mark has his disagreements with the Iran MOU, and does not believe the Iranian regime will ever honor any agreement, but Mark adores President Trump, just like Reagan. If President Trump wants the MOU to become a final deal, it will proceed regardless of opposition. Later, there are ongoing Hezbollah attacks—firing missiles and drones daily into Israel under a supposed ceasefire, directed by Iran, forcing depopulation of northern Israel. Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy never truly part of Lebanon that has murdered hundreds of Americans, assassinated Lebanon's president, and weakened the country, remains its most powerful force. The proposed MOU demanding Israel cease military operations permanently, including in Lebanon, before a final agreement risk enabling continued Iranian aggression while setting Israel up for blame if it defends itself.

Ralph welcomes political consultant and pollster, Celinda Lake, to outline a ten-point Progressive Contract for America that she and Ralph believe – if adopted by Democratic candidates— will ensure they landslide the Republicans in the midterms. Then, Ben Cohen stops by to fill us in on his “Free Ben & Jerry!” campaign to take back the brand from the conglomerate that no longer retains the social justice values of their original company. Plus, Marine Corp veteran, Matthew Hoh, tells us about the provocative speech he made on Veterans Day entitled “Armistice Day and the Empire.”Celinda Lake is a political strategist and president of Lake Research Partners. She and her firm are known for cutting-edge research on issues including the economy, health care, the environment and education, and have worked for a number of institutions including the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Governor's Association, AFL-CIO, SEIU, CWA, Sierra Club, NARAL, Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood, VoteVets Action Fund, and the Kaiser Family Foundation. Her international work has included work in Liberia, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus Ukraine, South Africa, and Central America.I think [a Compact for America] is a really, really, really important idea, and it's absolutely essential to winning…And it should include concrete economic proposals. And it is noticeable that the two people who won governorships in 2025—Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill—both had contracts with their voters.Celinda LakeDemocrats need to lay out ten concrete proposals and run on them. We have the critique of what's going on. We understand what's happening in real people's lives. The third leg of the stool is offering our alternative—and a concrete alternative that people can pass on to their friends and family, that people can hold us accountable for. And the last of the ten proposals in the contract needs to be something about campaign finance reform. We have to get corporate money out of politics, or our system will continue to be rigged against us and rotting from the middle.Celinda LakeBen Cohen is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and longtime anti-war activist. He is a co-founder of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry's and a prominent supporter of progressive causes. He is co-founder of Up In Arms, a public education and advocacy campaign pushing for a common-sense approach to military budgeting.What's happened is that the company recently got owned by the Magnum Corporation, and the Magnum Corporation has disbanded that independent board of directors. I mean, it's kind of a crazy, stupid move because it's under that independent board (which has legal authority over the social mission and the quality of the product and the use of the trademark) it's under that independent board that the company has grown and done so well. But they've gotten rid of the independent board.Ben CohenWhen Ben & Jerry's was in the midst of trying to fend off this acquisition, there were some new laws that were passed in Vermont that allowed a consideration of the benefit of the community with regard to a potential sale. And after the sale happened, B Corporation started. And I've talked with the founder of B Corp, and he was saying that one of the inspirations for starting B Corporations was what happened to Ben & Jerry's. So B Corporations are a different legal structure for corporations which requires them to take into account the social benefit to the community and legally makes it easier to resist these efforts to have the company taken over.Ben CohenMatthew Hoh is a disabled Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War and former Afghan War State Department Officer. In 2009, after being appointed to the Foreign Service, Hoh resigned his post in Afghanistan over the Obama administration's escalation of the Afghan War. He is now an analyst and commentator on foreign and military policy issues as a senior fellow with the Eisenhower Media Network. He serves on the advisory boards of many peace organizations, including Veterans for Peace and World Beyond War, and is an associate member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.The United States recognized Armistice Day as a holiday until after the Second World War. And then in the height of the Cold War in the early 1950s, this idea of a holiday dedicated to peace, a holiday dedicated to the abrogation of warfare, a holiday that exposed just how false the motives for war are—oh that was incredibly troublesome. That was very problematic for the American empire (again, at the height of the Cold War). So there was this campaign to rename Armistice Day to Veterans Day. And this way, it became not a remembrance of the horrors of war, of what war entailed, of who profited from war. But rather a celebration of American veterans, that they have won freedoms, they have protected us from overseas enemies—and utilizing veterans, then, as a tool to crush dissent, to silence opposition.Matthew HohClick here to sign up to get a copy of Matthew Hoh's "Armistice Day and the Empire”News 6/19/26* Our top stories this week are about major local progressive victories. Here in Washington, DC Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George – endorsed by a broad coalition of groups including the Metro DC DSA, the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club and many more – has triumphed in the Mayoral primary. Lewis George trounced her centrist opponent, Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, who was backed both by major local corporate interests, such as the realtor lobby and even the Washington Parking Association, but also Democratic Party power brokers, including two former DNC Chairs. Lewis George, hailed as DC's answer to Zohran Mamdani, won over 50% of the vote in the first round, meaning that while this is DC's first mayoral election under ranked-choice voting, this race will not trigger this mechanism. McDuffie, for his part, won around 36% of the vote, coming ahead of Lewis George only in Ward 3, the wealthiest in the District. While votes remain to be counted, McDuffie has conceded.* Another DSA-backed candidate is poised to win a seat on the DC council. In Ward 1, Aparna Raj appears to have come up just short of 50% but while this means the race will go to a second round of ranked-choice reallocation, given that Raj is more than 25 points ahead of her nearest opponent, her victory is all but guaranteed. This is based upon data from the DC Board of Elections. Raj's impending victory, paired with that of Janeese Lewis George and others like Oye Owolewa demonstrates that the DC DSA is an electoral force to be reckoned with.* In more progressive electoral news, Semafor reports Bernie Sanders has endorsed former Congresswoman Cori Bush in her “comeback” bid for her old seat. Bush, a nurse and Black Lives Matter activist, was a member of the “Squad” in the House before she was defeated by a primary challenge from the right, backed in large part by AIPAC money. With the Republican redistricting in her home state of Missouri, this seat is now the sole remaining safe Democratic seat in the Show-Me State. In a statement, Bush said she was “honored to be endorsed” by Sanders, whom she called a “true leader in our movement to guarantee healthcare, housing, and childcare for all.”* Another much-publicized Bernie endorsement was announced this week: that of Tennessee state Rep. Justin J. Pearson. Pearson was originally running as a primary challenger against longtime incumbent Congressman Steve Cohen in Tennessee's 9th congressional district, but since the state Republicans redrew the districts Cohen has decided to retire, leaving the Democratic nomination to Pearson for the taking. While this district has been drawn in such a way to make it difficult for a Democrat to win, Pearson argues that “You've got a number of disaffected Republican voters, you've got a number of distraught MAGA voters, and you've got fired-up Democrats, which is a perfect recipe for success for us…Because our tent is big enough for everybody who is feeling that this status quo was rigged and broken against working-class folk, and want to see a future that is more just,” per the Intercept.* Elsewhere in the South, the race in Florida's 20th congressional district is descending into chaos. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the powerful centrist Democratic congresswoman who was drawn out of her traditional seat by the recent Republican-led redistricting is now officially running in this district, a move that “disappointed” Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried, according to the Miami Herald. Fried further stated that Wasserman Schultz “[refused] to engage in meaningful dialogue about her decision.” Elijah Manley, the progressive candidate in this race, had harsher words for DWS. In a quote reported by Florida Politics, Manley stated “I'm not surprised that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is carpetbagging to FL-20, a black opportunity district, abandoning her own district and constituents…She is no different than the Republicans that are eviscerating black representation across the South. She is everything that's wrong with the broken unpopular Democratic establishment…I look forward to retiring her from public office permanently.”* Facing down the barrel of this decision, several of the Black candidates running in the 20th convened to discuss a plan to consolidate in order to ensure the district would continue to be represented by a Black member of Congress, as it has been for the past 34 years. However, CBS reports that plan has “fallen apart” as the filing deadline passed with none of the major Black candidates bowing out. This report includes statements from Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who, the piece notes, resigned from this very seat in disgrace earlier this year amid a congressional ethics investigation, saying she is “excited to campaign in the district I have represented for the last 5 years.” Dale Holness, the former Mayor of Broward County, said, “It has to be about policies that produce prosperity for the people.” Elijah Manley, said “I think it's going to come down to who works the hardest, and I think I'm going to work the hardest.” To this end, Manley has recently racked up major progressive endorsements in Florida, including Armando Grundy-Gomes, President of the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida, the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, through President Matthew Grocholske, and Black Voters Matter lead Florida organizer Jamil Davis. According to the most recent polling, Manley lags behind Wasserman Schultz 21% to 39% in initial ballot testing, but blitzes into the lead 36% to 27% after voters receive candidate biographical information, per Florida Politics.* Another major political story from Florida is the comeback bid of former Congressman Alan Grayson. Grayson, who won a House seat in 2008, lost it in the Tea Party wave of 2010, won another seat, ran unsuccessfully for Senate, and then sought a comeback in 2018 is running in Florida's 7th congressional district, AOL reports. Grayson, known during his time in Congress for his “combative style and frequent clashes with Republicans,” is seeking to unseat scandal-plagued incumbent Republican Congressman Cory Mills. As this piece notes, Mills has “faced allegations ranging from sextortion claims made by a former girlfriend to accusations that he embellished aspects of his military record,” as well as what appears to be clear instances of corruption, such as driving government contracts to entities he owned. However, before these two have any chance of facing off against one another, both will have to get through his own party's primary.* Looking to Latin America, the outgoing President of Colombia Gustavo Petro, has published a fascinating op-ed in the Washington Post. In this piece, President Petro emphasizes how his government – considered one of the most opposed to American intervention in the region – has cooperated with the United States on shared objectives including stopping the “deadly flow of drug trafficking and transnational criminal violence.” Throughout the op-ed, Petro goes to great lengths to talk up Trump and how they have collaborated on mutual goals, even ending the piece by writing that “with continued U.S.-Colombia partnership, we can truly make the Americas great again.” This apparent about face from Petro, culminating in an obsequious appeal to Trump's favor, has led many to speculate about Petro's motivations here, including fear for his own safety, possible persecution within the American legal system or intervention in Colombia if his designated successor Ivan Cepeda ultimately wins the Colombian runoff presidential election this month. Whether or not this stratagem will work remains to be seen, but with Trump, flattery can get you everywhere.* In neighboring Peru, votes continue to be counted in the razor's edge race between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez. The votes for the election, held on June 7th, are almost completely counted now – the tally stands at 99.38% – and at the moment Fujimori leads by around 39,000 votes. However, around 140,000 votes have been formally challenged, with 60% of those coming from Fujimori strongholds like Lima as well as Peruvians abroad. This from Reuters. Peru's political system has been wracked by instability, with the country going through nine presidents in the last ten years. Another painstakingly close election is unlikely to restore stability no matter who comes out on top.* Finally, we turn to the Middle East, where it seems the numerous parties involved in the latest round of peace talks may have finally reached a deal. According to Al Jazeera, in addition to the US-Iran agreement, rooted in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which includes financial concessions to the Islamic Republic, Israel and Hezbollah are pursuing a ceasefire in Lebanon. However, Israel's notoriously loose interpretation of ceasefire agreements jeopardizes both this deal and MOU. Journalist and expert Rania Khalek states simply that “From Iran's perspective, continued Israeli strikes would be a violation of that understanding.” Vice President JD Vance, who has been intimately involved in these negotiations, expressed a sharp warning to Israel not to jeopardize the deal and risk alienating Trump, their “only ally” left. Trump for his part is already hedging, saying “If it works out, I'm going to take the credit…If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD,” per CNN. A report in the Hill indicates that Republican Senators would largely oppose the deal if it were submitted for their approval, but given the increasing concentration of foreign policy powers in the executive branch, it is unlikely the Senate will even be consulted.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

JD Vance just issued a fiery warning to Israel for slamming Trump's Iran deal! Vice President Vance went off in the White House briefing room, ripping into Israeli officials who have been personally attacking President Trump. He reminded them that America is Israel's only powerful ally left in the world — and Trump is the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House. This is America First leadership in action. While critics call the deal weak, Vance is drawing a hard line: Stop biting the hand that feeds you massive defensive aid and focus on the real threats.

American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Christopher J. Scalia is in for Jim Geraghty on the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Chris and Greg dissect the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, note the arrest of a "Dreamer" for the UFC terror plot just as Michelle Obama was extolling the Dreamer program, the deliciously bitter infighting among Virginia Democrats, and Mr. Scalia's latest book.First, they dig into the memorandum of understanding with Iran and react to arguments opposing and supporting it. Chris and Greg share their concerns over the vagueness of the language on the nuclear matters, the money poised to flow into Iran, what's next in the Straits of Hormuz, and why this agreement or a more formal deal is unlikely to hold.Next, they contrast Michelle Obama praising her husband's DACA or "Dreamer" program granting legal status to illegal immigrants who were brought here as minors with the news that a "Dreamer" was just arrested for allegedly leading a terrorist plot against the UFC event at the White House. Chris also shares his thoughts on the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.Then, Chris and Greg pop the popcorn as top Democrats in Virginia are fighting with each other over several major issues and making it clear how much they don't like each other. But Chris warns there could be a major downside for conservatives from this dysfunction on the left.Finally, Chris tells us about his latest book 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (but Probably Haven't Read) and how conservative ideas and characters are found in popular literature.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn BeddingGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML at https://BrooklynBedding.comPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.BetterHelpYou don't have to say yes to everything this summer.

Gordon Chang and Kamran Bokhari discuss a rumored $300 billion fund for Iran as part of a memorandum of understanding. Bokhari emphasizes this is an "MOU," not a ratified treaty, and questions whether the Iranian regime will truly change its behavior or simply use the funds for regime survival. (5)

Real Clear Politics National Correspondent and Fool's Gold author Susan Crabtree is in for Jim Geraghty on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Susan and Greg discuss some of the concerns emerging from the tentative U.S. deal with Iran, the Justice Department investigation into California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife, just how crazy California's election laws are, and the emerging battle on the left over wealth taxes.First, Susan draws on her extensive coverage of the Obama nuclear deal with Iran to explain what we should have learned from that experience. They also discuss some of the most important questions lingering after this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). There will be much more analysis of the contents of the MOU on Friday's 3 Martini Lunch.Next, they shift to the Justice Department's investigation into Gov. Newsom and "First Partner" Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Susan details some of the alleged financial irregularities connected with Siebel Newsom's non-profit organizations and how Gov. Newsom is trying to use this to his political advantage.Then, after Californians and other Americans suffered through the embarrassing, protracted vote counting earlier this month, Susan explains how insane California election laws are compared to the rest of the country and how some extremely questionable election tactics are perfectly legal there.Finally, they note how a proposed five percent wealth tax on billionaires will be on the California ballot in November. Gov. Newsom is opposed. Susan and Greg consider how this puts Newsom at odds with many others on the left who are aggressively pushing wealth taxes.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Bedding Get 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML at https://BrooklynBedding.comBetterHelpYou don't have to say yes to everything this summer.

June 17, 2026; 4pm: Nicolle Wallace and friends cover Trump's pending deal to end the war with Iran. The Memorandum of Understanding, which was released today, says that Iran would be provided with $300 billion for its reconstruction and economic development. The memorandum also says that Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program – which was the main reason why the U.S. went to war with Iran in the first place. Later, Nicolle discusses the news that Trump has cancelled the scheduled nomination hearing of Jay Claton as DNI in a bid to force Congress to act on his voter ID bill, which currently does not have the votes to pass.

The FBI just foiled a mass casualty terror plot targeting Americans at the White House — and TikTok helped recruit the killers. You need to watch this before it gets buried under the next news cycle. Five Americans have been arrested and charged after the FBI disrupted a chilling multistate plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn. We're talking explosive-laden drones targeting buildings to force a mass evacuation — then a pre-staged sniper team waiting for the crowd. A second wave was allegedly planned to storm the White House gate. This wasn't some vague threat. These people had Signal chats, aerial maps, sniper positions, escape routes, and $3,000 in gear. They called themselves "Vanguard of the Old" — and they used TikTok to recruit. Here's what's wild: Investigators identified 23 people in the planning network. Only five are charged so far. The FBI learned about the plot partly because a 19-year-old suspect's OWN MOTHER called law enforcement. She noticed her son spending his graduation money on ballistic plates, ammo, and plate carriers. That detail alone should tell you everything about what was almost lost that day. We also cover: Did Trump just SNUB Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Keir Starmer? Explosive leak: 14-point memorandum of understanding with Iran exposed.

It's Hump Day on The Majority Report On today's program: JD Vance talks to Megyn Kelly why the whole Memorandum of Understanding has not been released, citing certain cultural sensitivities in the region without explaining what that means. The war hawks are not happy with the leaked sections of the Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Iran. Former Vice President Mike Pence says on CNN that the preliminary language "smacks of appeasement". Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends shares the same sentiment as Pence but he refuses to criticize the president, insisting to his audience that this is Vance's deal. Dylan Gyauch-Lewis, senior researcher at the Revolving Door Project, joins to talk about her piece in The American Prospect: "New Documents Detail Nine-Figure, Silicon Valley–Funded Abundance Movement." Gil Duran, publisher of the Nerd Reich newsletter, joins to discuss John O'Farrell a former partner at Andreessen Horowitz who recently quit the VC firm over their prioritizing of AI hype over the common good. You can preorder Gil's book "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley's Fascism and the War on Democracy" here. In the Fun Half: As Trump's facilities sunset he is having a hard time keeping his inside thoughts inside. At the G7 conference in France, the president couldn't stop talking about world leaders in an erotic fashion. Trump swooned over India's PM Modi's stunning beauty and recounted the time he met Egyptian president el-Sisi in a hotel and fell deeply in love. Trump post another screed to Truth Social, announcing the cancelation of Jay Clayton's U.S Attorney nomination hearing today and the Bill Pulte will remain acting head of DNI. Trump's nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget, Hal Duncan, recites the script and refuses to admit that Joe Biden won the 2020 election but of course freely acknowledges that Trump won the 2024 election. The GOP primary winner for senate in Georgia, Mike Collins, kicks off his campaign by attacking incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff for voting in support of trans rights, much to the ambivalence of the small audience. DSA backed candidate for mayor of Washington D.C., Janeese Lewis George appears to be headed for victory in the democratic primary. On June 11, Trump threatened to have a federal takeover of D.C. is she wins and evidentially that was the best thing to happen to George's campaign. All that and more.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we're still waiting for the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran to be released. Iran has a copy. So does Qatar, Pakistan and Turkey. But we don't. And neither does Israel. But even if the deal was made public, no deal will change the behavior of this enemy. The Iranian regime has never and will never change its ideology. To them, we are the enemy and we must be destroyed. Those who insist a deal can be made and that it is preferable, then they have to prove it.  Meanwhile, there's more leaks from Axios revealing that CIA Director John Ratcliffe raised serious doubts that Iran is unwilling to make the nuclear concessions sought in the deal. Skeptics including Secretary Marco Rubio and Secretary Pete Hegseth share these concerns, while VP Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner advocated for it. Are the neo-cons? No. We need a healthy discussion about this MOU. Later, with fewer workers relative to beneficiaries, Social Security faces insolvency: benefits could be slashed by about 22% in seven or eight years, or payroll taxes massively increased. Politicians and bureaucrats have turned Social Security into a hemorrhaging fiscal vulnerability amid national debt, low birth rates, and insufficient personal savings, risking a crash that harms both recipients and payers unless addressed.
