On Wednesday, President Trump met with Iranian leaders to sign an initial memorandum of understanding towards ending the months-long war. In a press conference after the signing, Trump was triumphant. Specifically, he touted the deal's firmness on one of the US's key priorities: ensuring that Iran can never develop a nuclear weapon. Whilst Iran has agreed to “not procure or develop nuclear weapons," there are many questions left unanswered. What does it actually look like to police the weapons programmes Today, we speak to someone intimately familiar with the weapons inspection process: President of the Institute for Science and International Security, David Albright. In the 1990s, Albright worked in Iraq with the UN, investigating the nation's weapons programme under Sadaam Hussein.To hear more, search The Global Story wherever you get your BBC podcasts.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Disclosure, War, Near-Death Proof, and the Soul's Long Evolution Toward Love A Personal Opening From San Antonio In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, Reverend Blake Rubie opens by greeting listeners and sharing personal reflections from San Antonio. He begins with an extended discussion of the San Antonio Spurs, their recent NBA Finals loss to the New York Knicks, and what he sees as the team's strengths, missed opportunities, and future needs. He reflects on the emotional highs and lows of sports, the disappointment of losing, the influence of referees, and the difficulty of investing too much emotion in competition. Lessons From the Spurs and the Pressure of Crunch Time Reverend Rubie uses the Spurs' playoff run as a way to talk about performance under pressure. He praises the team for exceeding expectations and becoming Western Conference champions, while also examining the mistakes that shifted the momentum of the series. He discusses Victor Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, and the need for a strong player to develop alongside Wembanyama. Beneath the sports analysis is a larger theme: talent matters, but mindset, chemistry, decision-making, and calmness in crunch time determine whether a team reaches its highest potential. Turning From Basketball to Disclosure The episode then shifts into one of Reverend Rubie's recurring spiritual and metaphysical subjects: extraterrestrial life and government secrecy. He discusses the film Disclosure Day, recommending it while explaining that it presents the idea that world governments, including the United States, have covered up evidence of life elsewhere in the universe. He speaks about alleged recovered spacecraft, extraterrestrial bodies, black operations, and testimony from people who claim to have worked in covert programs. He frames disclosure as a world-changing revelation that could force humanity to rethink itself and its place in the cosmos. The Hope of Contact and the End of War Reverend Rubie suggests that open contact with extraterrestrial civilizations could help humanity move beyond violence, war, and petty conflict. He imagines advanced beings helping humanity join an intergalactic community, share technology, cure disease, and learn to live in peace. In his view, humanity's violent nature has delayed that possibility. He argues that if people knew without doubt that advanced life exists beyond Earth, they might be inspired to stop fighting and begin thinking more like citizens of a larger universe. 9/11, Afghanistan, and the Human Habit of Violence Reflecting on human cruelty, Reverend Rubie discusses 9/11, the World Trade Center attacks, the Pentagon, Flight 93, and the hateful disregard for human life shown that day. He then broadens the point by saying humanity cannot only condemn others, because nations including the United States have also caused suffering through war, bombing, and retaliation. He points to Afghanistan, World War II, Normandy, and battlefield deaths as examples of the way human beings repeatedly fail to resolve conflicts peacefully. Why Do Men Kill Each Other? Using Forrest Gump as a cultural reference, Reverend Rubie reflects on the question of why human beings kill each other. He suggests that violence often comes from a lack of spiritual maturity and an inability to resolve differences through dialogue. He also connects this to the historical oppression of women, arguing that men have often oppressed the very women who raised them. He strongly praises mothers, especially single mothers, and says women are often better leaders because they nurture, endure, guide, and carry families through hardship. Fantasy, Reality, and the Responsibility to Learn Reverend Rubie contrasts fantasy with reality, asking whether people are more invested in movies and entertainment than in real human suffering and practical courage. He notes that films may inspire people, but they remain fantasy, while real life asks whether someone could rescue a person from a burning car or respond wisely in danger. He encourages listeners to keep learning, think for themselves, and avoid believing that any one book, teacher, or religious authority contains every answer. For him, spiritual growth requires open inquiry, humility, and the willingness to examine testimony from many sources. Near-Death Experiences as Spiritual Evidence A major section of the episode centers on near-death experiences. Reverend Rubie argues that many people who report these experiences are telling the truth and that their stories provide important evidence of spiritual reality. He focuses on the case of Bruce Van Natta, describing the accident in which a truck axle crushed his abdominal area, his heart stopped, and he reported leaving his body, seeing angels, moving through a tunnel, and hearing divine guidance. Reverend Rubie presents this story as evidence that the soul survives the body and that divine help can intervene in moments of life and death. The Call of the Soul and the Intergalactic Community Reverend Rubie connects near-death experiences, extraterrestrial life, and spiritual evolution into one larger worldview. He says humanity is being called by the soul to recognize that life exists throughout the universe and that beings in many forms are waiting for humanity to mature. He describes different species, bodies, skin textures, eyes, and forms of intelligence as part of the Creator's vast design. Humanity, in his view, is a microcosm of the universe, participating in the Creator's growth through experience, choice, and evolution. Earth as a Difficult School of Learning The episode presents Earth as a hard school where souls learn through danger, suffering, nature, disease, accidents, conflict, and mortality. Reverend Rubie mentions storms, lightning, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, tsunamis, car accidents, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and the daily fragility of life. He urges listeners to drink water, care for their bodies, set ego aside, and learn from others. Despite Earth's harshness, he sees the planet as a place of spiritual development where free will, love, and responsibility are tested. Free Will, Karma, and Judgment Day Reverend Rubie emphasizes free will as one of the central conditions of human life. He says people can pray for help, but they must also recognize that choices have consequences. Taking another person's life against that person's free will, he says, creates karmic debt that must be faced in a future lifetime. He also speaks of Judgment Day and the life review, saying every action, interaction, and second of life is recorded. This becomes one of the episode's clearest moral messages: every person is accountable for whether they spread love, harm, hope, or despair. Logic, Life, and the Case for a Living Universe Reverend Rubie uses the diversity of life on Earth as an argument for life elsewhere. He points to millions of insect species, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, plants, planets, stars, suns, solar systems, and galaxies. His reasoning is that if life can exist so abundantly here, it is logical to believe life exists elsewhere as well. He describes every visible star as a sun with planets around it and imagines other civilizations that may have existed and traveled for millions of years before humanity appeared. Unacknowledged, Nuclear Weapons, and Hidden Technology Returning to the disclosure theme, Reverend Rubie recommends the documentary Unacknowledged, saying it can convince open-minded viewers that extraterrestrial contact has occurred and that covert programs have concealed it. He discusses Area 51, S4, black operations, billions of dollars in secret funding, Roswell, recovered craft, and the possibility that humanity could have had clean or free energy if information had been released. He also reflects on nuclear weapons, Iran, North Korea, the former Soviet Union, weapons of mass destruction, and the danger of believing official claims without critical thought. Prayer as Relationship With the Divine The episode closes by returning to prayer, faith, and love. Reverend Rubie encourages listeners to build a daily relationship with the Creator, Mother and Father God, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, or whatever higher power they sincerely turn toward. He says every prayer strengthens faith and that life feels better with a higher power. He offers a prayer thanking the Creator for the beautiful world, asking for blessing, guidance, righteousness, peace, love, dignity, respect, and humanity's growth into a better world aligned with divine will.

In the middle of the twentieth century, the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons seemed inevitable. The number of countries with nukes was climbing rapidly, and the idea of stopping the nuclear arms race seemed like a pipe dream.  But that's exactly what happened. Over the course of 60 years, nations around the world agreed to nuclear red lines, slowdowns, and even disarmament. How did this happen? Largely because of technology.  The biggest obstacle to agreeing on nuclear red lines was that adversaries couldn't trust any promise the other made. They needed to know the number of warheads, the amount of enriched uranium, or whether a nuclear device was for a weapon or a power plant. None of that was possible until we built the tech needed to verify those things.  Today, we're in a similar situation with AI. For adversaries like the United States and China to agree on reasonable AI red lines on issues like bioweapons, cyber hacking, or the risk of recursive self-improvement, they first need to be able to trust each other. We urgently need to build the verification technology that would make that trust possible.  In this episode, Tristan sits down with two experts in this field to discuss the kinds of verification technology we need for AI, the challenges of building it, and the world it could unlock if we do. Tim Fist is the Director of Emerging Technology Policy at the Institute for Progress, and Janet Egan is Senior Fellow and Deputy Director for the Technology and National Security Program at the Center for New American Security.

Peter Huessy discusses the history of "tactical" nuclear weapons and the 1950s Desert Rock exercises where U.S. troops were exposed to nuclear detonations. He details the health risks soldiers faced and parallels these actions with Sovietmaneuvers, highlighting the "ludicrous" idea of trying to operate militarily in a post-detonation environment.

The president says that Iran has agreed never to have a nuclear weapon, and that a peace deal could be ready as soon as this weekend. Iran says it has not reached a final decision on an agreement. If the deal is confirmed, it would be the most significant diplomatic breakthrough yet to end the war.The government's FISA Section 702 spy powers bill lapsed on Friday, after Democrats used the extension vote as a way to protest President Trump's temporary pick to serve as the Director of National Intelligence. Several lawmakers have raised concerns about the authority being used to spy on Americans.

Bill Pulte will still serve as temporary director until Clayton is confirmed.

The nine countries believed to hold nuclear weapons have spent a record $119bn on their arsenals. The US budget was more than all the others combined, according to an anti-proliferation group.

Guest host Joe Cirincione interviews nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein about his book The Most Awful Responsibility: Truman and the Secret Struggle for Control of the Atomic Age, revisiting the run-up to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the postwar fight between nuclear hawks and doves over who should control nuclear weapons. Wellerstein argues there was no single “decision” to use the bomb—plans were already underway under military control, Truman was largely excluded and poorly briefed, and he may not have known a second bomb was coming. After Nagasaki, Truman asserted presidential control to halt further use, motivated by horror at civilian casualties. They discuss debates over whether the bombings ended the war and Truman's moral framing of nuclear weapons. The events of the past have clear echoes in today's nuclear policy debates, and the dispute over Iran's nuclear program and who is telling the truth about Iran's nuclear ambitions.You can check out his Nuke Map at nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ikeda Hayato managed to garner the necessary support to become the President of the LDP and the Prime Minister of Japan after Kishi Nobusuke's resignation in 1960. He would prove to be almost the polar opposite of his arch-conservative predecessor, creating much of the social safety net which Japan continues to enjoy today. His successor, Sato Eisaku, lobbied for the return of Okinawa Prefecture and was forced to wrangle with complicated geopolitical challenges and domestic disturbances.Support the show My latest novel, "Califia's Crusade," is now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple Books, Bookshop.org, and many other online platforms!

CIA Insiders Confirm Iran Has Nuclear Weapons! Head of Anthropic Calls For Global Pause On AI, Warns Humans Have Already LOST CONTROL! Plus, Netanyahu Brags He Wrote Section 224 of 2027 NDAA That Hands Control of Pentagon To Israel Sky Pilot Radio Classic Hits from the 60's thru the 80's 

Jimmy addresses the latest news, like Trump saying Iran made an agreement to give up nuclear weapons, before speaking with Nick Jonas and Amy Sedaris.

President Donald Trump said Iran has agreed not to have a nuclear weapon and that he would probably meet with Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei at some point if things "work out."Republican Steve Hilton and former Health Secretary Xavier Becerra held onto early leads in the open primary race for California governor on June 3, positioning them to potentially advance to the Nov. 3 general election.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast:1) The US and Iran traded messages over the weekend seeking changes to a draft agreement that would extend a ceasefire and open the Strait of Hormuz, but it was unclear whether the sides were making much progress. As the diplomatic exchanges continued, Israel expanded its ground assault in Lebanon, shattering a brittle truce with its northern neighbor. President Trump said his proposed deal states clearly “that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon,” according to a post on Truth Social. Trump hadn’t spoken on the subject of Iran since a White House Situation Room meeting Friday in which he said he expected to announce an agreement. In a social media post earlier that day, he reiterated his demands, including that Iran suspend its nuclear program and fully restore the strait to its earlier status as a free, international waterway. The semi-official Tasnim news agency, which has close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said Sunday that both sides continued to propose amendments, but noted that the US and Iran could ultimately reject the changes, causing the deal to collapse.2) Oil rose from a six-week low amid uncertainty over the outlook for a peace deal to end the war in Iran. Brent advanced to around $93 a barrel after closing at its lowest since mid-April on Friday, while West Texas Intermediate rose to near $90. The US and Iran traded messages over the weekend seeking changes to a draft agreement that would extend a ceasefire and open the Strait of Hormuz, but it was unclear if the sides were making much progress. The standoff follows a bout of optimism that some form of peace agreement would be reached — and that energy flows would resume through the Strait of Hormuz — that had caused the first monthly drop in crude prices this year. Brent is still up more than a quarter since the war started at the end of February, as the near-total closure of the vital waterway causes unprecedented turmoil in oil markets.3) Nvidia is entering the personal computer market with a new chip aimed at loosening Intel’s long-standing stranglehold on the sector and modernizing machines for the artificial intelligence era. Starting this fall, the new RTX Spark Superchip will debut in premium laptop and desktop computers from leading brands, including Dell and Lenovo, Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang announced during a keynote speech at the Computex trade show in Taiwan. Huang also announced that next-generation Vera central processing units will enter full production in the third quarter of this year, marking the company's first standalone data center microprocessor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael speaks with University of Chicago political scientist Dr. Robert Pape about the growing conflict with Iran, rising oil prices, and the strategic dangers of what Pape calls the “Escalation Trap.” From the Strait of Hormuz to the risks of ground operations and global economic fallout, Pape argues the U.S. may have underestimated both Iran's capabilities and the long-term consequences of military escalation.

US President Donald Trump claimed a deal with Iran was “largely negotiated”, before later saying talks were still ongoing. A draft US-Iran memorandum of understanding has sparked backlash in Washington, alarm in Israel and fresh questions over sanctions, nuclear talks and the shaky ceasefire. So how close are the two sides to a real agreement?

Summits between US and Chinese leaders are important events. They provide opportunities to discuss sensitive issues, manage friction, and to identify ways to solve problems and promote cooperation where possible. A great deal of preparation usually goes into a US-China summit, involving hundreds of phone calls, virtual, and in-person meetings between US and Chinese officials.   The May 14-15 summit in Beijing was atypical, perhaps not surprisingly since Donald Trump is a very atypical president. Today we are going to talk about the summit – the process and well as the outcomes and the implications for the US-China relationship and American interests.  Joining us today to talk about these issues is Sarah Beran. Sarah Beran was senior director for China and Taiwan affairs in the National Security Council during the Biden administration from 2022 to 2024. She was subsequently deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Beijing. At the NSC, she led strategic preparations for multiple summits between President Joe Biden and Xi Jinping. After her 23 years in government service, Sarah joined Macro Advisory Partners.   Timestamps:   [00:00] Introduction   [01:45] Differences in Preparing for the Summit   [03:33] What Was Missing from Trump's Itinerary   [08:18] US and Chinese Objectives for the Summit   [12:30] Constructive Strategic Stability as a Framework   [18:09] Iran, North Korea, and Denuclearization in Chinese Policy [23:55] Tension over Taiwan Language   [29:15] Potential Reactions to Trump Calling President Lai   [30:12] Future of US-China Relations and Ally Reactions 

It might be peanuts for the man whose net worth has increased by $4 billion in two years, but for everyone else, Donald Trump's economy is crushing. And that pain is showing up nearly everywhere.   For more from Nicolle, follow and download her podcast, “The Best People with Nicolle Wallace,” wherever you get your podcasts.To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Alex Jones Has Said Iran Has Nuclear Weapons For Two And A Half Decades

Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz. They have access to 30 of their 33 missile launching sites along the Persian Gulf coastline. They have tens of thousands of drones, mobile missile launchers moved inland, and have already struck a Qatari natural gas facility that will take years to repair. The American military umbrella that once protected Gulf State energy infrastructure has been exposed as ineffective. Hawk walks through Kagan's full argument, including what a post-American world order looks like when China and Russia emerge stronger, when Gulf States and European nations begin normalizing relations with Iran, and when America's weapons stockpiles are critically depleted after six weeks of nonstop bombing with no clear strategic objective from the start. Fox News analyst and retired Army General Jack Keane says the U.S. is preparing to return to full-scale combat operations. Trump has reportedly asked the intelligence community to assess what it would look like to simply declare victory and leave. The U.S. has also just rejected Iran's latest peace deal. The nuclear question is real. Israel has the Samson Option. Trump is backed into a corner. Neither Trump nor Netanyahu has shown restraint when losing.

With all the focus on Iran and their nuclear weapon capability the world has remained silent about several other countries with the same ability.One in particular that the U.S. the U.K. , Israel, France and others set up, helped and then were shut out of is of particular interest.Why have we never heard about this? Where are the bombs they made? We were totally surprised at who this country is and the lack of information regarding their nuclear program!Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

How should Americans evaluate presidential candidates when it comes to nuclear weapons? In this episode, Dr. Anthony Eames, Director of Scholarly Initiatives at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, returns to the show to examine how presidents from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump have approached nuclear weapons, deterrence, and arms control. We discuss the end of the Cold War, the challenge of rogue states, and why some presidents—including George W. Bush in Iraq and Donald Trump in Iran—have ultimately chosen military action to stop nuclear threats. What separates a reckless nuclear policy from a prudent one? And what qualities should Americans look for in a commander-in-chief entrusted with the world’s deadliest weapons?

6/16: Ivana Stradner discusses how American jazz symbolizes freedom and individualism, making it a threat to repressive regimes. Historically used as a "non-nuclear weapon" during the Cold War, jazz's improvisational nature counters state propaganda.
