Hawk plays a clip of Nichols appearing on Deadline White House with Nicole Wallace on June 22nd. He covers Trump's claim that Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is essentially worthless, a reversal from his earlier position that Iran must surrender its entire nuclear program. Hawk points out that Iran only resumed enrichment after Trump tore up the JCPOA in 2018, and that JD Vance's announcement of independent nuclear inspectors entering Iran was something the Obama deal already secured from 2015 to 2018. Hawk argues that Iran won this war not militarily but economically and psychologically, by accurately profiling both Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu from the start and understanding exactly how each would respond to domestic economic pressure. He notes Trump was warned before the war began, including by Tucker Carlson, that Iran's first move would be closing the Strait of Hormuz. He didn't listen. Hawk also addresses Pete Hegseth's role, the Iranian delegation's refusal to shake JD Vance's hand, and the unresolved conflict between Israel and Lebanon that continues to block any lasting deal.

Vice President Vance's bestseller "Communion" stirs up a fiery debate over theology and the econometrics of Japanese strawberries.

The Marc Cox Morning Show brings in the big guns as Heritage Foundation national security expert Andrew Harding joins to break down the Iran situation in a way the mainstream media never will. While Jake Sullivan is out there trying to compare Trump's peace through strength strategy to Obama's disastrous Iran sellout, Andrew sets the record straight — this is nothing like what came before. Operation Epic Fury degraded Iran's military, the economic blockade is bleeding their economy dry, and now the regime has been forced to crack open its own internet blackout just to keep from collapsing from within. The ceasefire is fragile but holding, a 60-day extension may be on the table, and JD Vance says he's cautiously optimistic a real deal is close. But make no mistake — if diplomacy fails, the military options are locked and loaded. This is American strength on the world stage, and Andrew Harding explains exactly why it's working. Don't miss a word of it.

Republican senators Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Roger Wicker initially called the deal a disaster and a surrender before reversing course. Former National Security Advisor John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and analysts from The Atlantic and The Bulwark all weighed in on what amounts to the worst U.S. strategic defeat since the Iraq War. Robert Kagan's piece in The Atlantic argued that Trump's endgame was surrender, and that Iran is using the ceasefire to lock in Strait of Hormuz control by forcing nations including South Korea, Turkey, and India to normalize diplomatic and economic ties with Tehran. Russia and China benefit most. Iran emerges stronger militarily and economically. Hamas and Hezbollah get refunded. Israel is left isolated. And the United States loses 20% of the world's energy supply to Iranian control.

We gave the regime 2-3 days to come to some arrangement that presumably includes no nukes. What does no nukes mean? The regime is a borderless religious extremist cult that has repeatedly cheated on agreements and seeks conquest, not coexistence. The core concern is the lack of credible nuclear enforcement because the regime will violate any deal and that future U.S. leaders may lack the political will to respond. Also, the truth about war powers. No president, of either party, has accepted the constitutionality of the 1973 War Powers Act. The Supreme Court has never ruled on the Act's constitutionality and likely never will. The only power Congress has to prevent a military operation is the power of the purse. A president has broad power to take military action.

Mark Levin Podcast May 19 2026 Victor Davis Hanson: Why America Keeps Proving the Experts Wrong We've heard this story before. From Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union to Japan and the European Union, Americans have repeatedly been told another world power was about to overtake the U.S. America is still leading the world in energy, agriculture, military strength, higher education, and innovation, and today's fears about a rising China are part of a much older pattern of American decline narratives, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/YTjWu0yYfTY?si=RirZMBdaru8wGioj The Daily Signal and Victor Davis Hanson 306,253 views May 19, 2026 Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words

In this episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker takes a direct and unfiltered look at one of the most critical geopolitical questions facing the world today: is a real peace deal with Iran possible—or are we simply delaying the next war?Building on ongoing tensions and recent negotiations, Andrew breaks down why traditional diplomacy may not apply in this case. He examines the history of failed agreements, including the nuclear deal, and argues that the current Iranian regime operates under a fundamentally different framework—one that challenges the very premise of lasting peace. The discussion goes deeper, exploring the broader implications for Israel, the Middle East, global financial markets, and U.S. strategic interests. From the role of radical ideology to shifting dynamics in Syria, Lebanon, and the potential expansion of regional peace agreements, Andrew outlines what is at stake if the moment is mishandled.He also addresses the political divide in the United States, analyzing how both parties are responding—and what that means for the future of leadership, security, and global stability.At its core, this episode asks a critical question: are we pursuing peace, or postponing conflict?This is a candid, thought-provoking conversation on politics, Israel, and the law.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

Trump's posts on the Iran nuclear negotiations show two competing frameworks: Iran's 10-point proposal and the U.S. 15-point plan, which are far apart. Despite Trump claiming many points have been agreed to, Iran's official statement from the Minister of Foreign Affairs tells a different story. A brief two-week ceasefire window was declared, but Israel launched 160 missiles into Lebanon hours later, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again, and the bombing continues. Also covered: Trump's confused NATO post claiming the alliance "wasn't there when we needed them," which ignores that NATO is a defensive pact, not an offensive one. The surprising Lego connection between Iran's AI propaganda campaign, the Lego Corporation's Danish headquarters, and Trump's obsession with seizing Greenland from Denmark. FCC Chair Brendan Carr's embarrassing investigation into CNN over a story that was later confirmed by multiple outlets. Marjorie Taylor Greene's former Georgia district, where Democrat Clay Fuller narrowed Trump's 37-point margin down to 12, a 25-point Democratic swing in one of the most MAGA districts in the country. And Lindsey Graham's solo trip to Disney World.

Are we on the brink of peace—or something far more dangerous? Reports indicate Trump has proposed a sweeping 15-point framework aimed at dismantling Iran's nuclear ambitions and ending regional instability. Iran has countered with its own five-point plan, and the differences couldn't be more stark. In this episode of The Todd Huff Show, Todd breaks down both proposals, explains why nuclear capability in Iran changes everything, and outlines what's truly at stake for the United States, Israel, and the world.

Trump claimed the US was in productive talks with Iran, but Iranian officials flatly denied any negotiations took place. The contradiction came within hours of Trump threatening to bomb Iranian civilian infrastructure, a move widely considered a war crime under international law. When the announcement hit, markets surged roughly a thousand points before dropping again once people realized the talks Trump described simply never happened. Steve Witoff and Jared Kushner, two New York and New Jersey real estate developers with no background in nuclear science or arms control, are reportedly the ones being sent in to negotiate the structure of Iran's nuclear program. Senior Iranian officials with deep expertise in these areas have reportedly treated them accordingly. Trump previously tore up the JCPOA during his first term and has now used the pretense of negotiations as cover for military action at least twice, including at the end of February when negotiations were reportedly ongoing and the US launched its current war. The Wall Street Journal's Gerard Baker noted that Americans are now in the position of having to trust the enemy's account of events over their own government's. The Strait of Hormuz deadline was extended five days. Iran has warned it will target Gulf State energy infrastructure if the US strikes civilian targets. Multiple experts had warned Trump that Iran would close the strait and retaliate against Gulf States before this war began. Trump publicly claimed nobody had thought of either possibility. Republican Senate sources told journalist Tara Palmieri there is zero confidence in Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon. No clear exit strategy exists. The State Department has issued a worldwide safety alert for American travelers as the Dow sits more than 4,000 points below its recent high.

The United States appeared poised for a major military confrontation with Iran after Donald Trump ordered a powerful naval force into the region in response to the killing of thousands of Iranian protesters. The expected strikes never came. Instead, Washington has shifted towards using military pressure as leverage for a renewed nuclear deal.Does this mark a genuine de-escalation? Or is it merely a pause before conflict? As diplomacy falters, tensions remain high and, inside Iran, the regime faces deepening political fractures as internet blackouts lift and grim details of last month's massacres begin to emerge.Roland is joined by The Telegraph's Akhtar Makoii and Sascha Bruchmann from the International Institute For Strategic Studies.Producer: Peter ShevlinExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Donald Trump has warned Iran that "time is running out" to negotiate a deal on its nuclear programme following the steady build-up of US military forces in the Gulf. The US president said a "massive armada" was "moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose" towards Iran, referring to a large US naval force. Iran insists its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful, but warned that a new US attack would prompt a response "like never before". Also: We report from Mozambique where an intense clear-up operation is underway following weeks of severe flooding.

Saudi Arabia burns nearly one million barrels of oil per day to keep its lights on, yet it has cheaper and faster ways to replace this than by building large nuclear reactors. So why is the Kingdom pushing so hard for a civil nuclear deal? This episode walks through the strategic logic that has animated Riyadh's nuclear ambitions for more than a decade. The answer lies in prestige, industrial capacity, and the latent fuel cycle capabilities that come with a power reactor programme, all set against the backdrop of regional tension with Iran.We look closely at the recent Washington announcement that United States Saudi 123 talks have been “concluded,” the unresolved fight over enrichment rights, and the geopolitical pressure being applied to South Korea to align its nuclear exports with American interests. From the legacy of the Quincy pact to the rivalry between Westinghouse and KEPCO, this conversation unpacks how a simple reactor tender has become one of the most consequential energy and security decisions in the Gulf.Listen to Decouple on:• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6PNr3ml8nEQotWWavE9kQz• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decouple/id1516526694?uo=4• Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1516526694/decouple• Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/ehbfrn44• RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/23775178/podcast/rssWebsite: https://www.decouple.media
