PREVIEW Henry Sokolski discusses a US agreement allowing treaty ally South Korea to build nuclear submarines and enrich uranium. Enrichment is a pathway to nuclear weapons, raising proliferation concerns due to South Korea's half-century history of seeking a nuclear option. Greenlighting enrichment moves Seoul into a position similar to Iran. Guest: Henry Sokolski.

PREVIEW. Strategic Weapons and the US Stance on "Dead Hand" Protocols. John Batchelor and Peter Huessy discuss strategic weapons and the Soviet Cold War "Dead Hand" operation, where nuclear weapons would launch even if leadership was eliminated. When asked if America has a similar plan, Huessy guesses no, stating the President or Vice President must authorize retaliation to ensure the action is certain and "kosher." 1963

The United States is racing toward nuclear annihilation while its empire crumbles from within. In this explosive interview, independent journalist Rachel Blevins exposes how Washington's imperial ambitions have backfired catastrophically: as the New START treaty expires in 2026, Trump threatens to resume nuclear testing while Russia deploys unstoppable weapons like the Oreshnik and Burevestnik.Meanwhile, Zelensky begs for Tomahawk missiles that could trigger World War III, and in a shocking betrayal of reality, former Al-Qaeda leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, once with a $10 million bounty on his head, is now Syria's US-backed president, playing basketball with the very commanders who hunted him.From rare earth mineral dominance to the Nord Stream bombing cover-up, Blevins reveals how US aggression has forged an unbreakable Russia-China-Iran alliance, accelerating the collapse of American unipolar power while ordinary Americans pay the price at grocery stores and gas pumps.Donate to Support Independent Journalism: https://www.MintPressNews.com/donationsMintPress News YouTube: https://youtube.com/MintPressNewsFollow Rachel Blevins: https://twitter.com/RachelBlevinsFollow Mnar Adley: https://twitter.com/MnarMuhSupport the showMintPress News is a fiercely independent.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

In this episode of One Decision, hosts Christina Ruffini and Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of Britain's MI6, are joined by Corey Hinderstein, former deputy administrator for defense nuclear nonproliferation at the National Nuclear Security Administration. As an expert on nuclear weapons and testing, Hinderstein breaks down President Trump's latest comments that the United States will resume testing of its nuclear weapons and what that means for foreign adversaries like Russia, China, and North Korea. She lays out the significance of a robust nuclear weapons state and the responsibilities attached, and what the process of testing actually entails. Plus, Hinderstein shares the story of when she first located the nuclear centrifuge facility in Natanz, Iran and how it shaped the legacy of the JCPOA.  Episode produced by Situation Room Studios.

NOTE: I needed to go in for a medical procedure this week (don’t worry; I’m fine) and was unable to produce a new episode. Given that President Trump has threatened to resume nuclear testing – with no specifics of whether that’s atmospheric or underground explosions – I think this is a good opportunity to look...

US President Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that, because of other countries' testing programs, he has instructed the Department of War to begin testing nuclear weapons on an equal basis – a process he says will start immediately. What does this mean? How risky is it? Will Trump really resume nuclear testing? And if he does, who will be the biggest winner? I try to find answers to these questions with Stephen Herzog, Professor of the Practice at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California, and an Associate of the Harvard University Project on Managing the Atom. And we also discuss Kathryn Bigelow's new movie, A House of Dynamite, about a missile attack against the United States. Listen to our conversation.

Ben and Tommy discuss President Trump's threat to invade Nigeria to stop a (nonexistent) genocide against Christians and the international community's total failure to stop an actual genocide happening in Sudan. Also covered: why Trump's pitch to restart testing of nuclear weapons might be his worst (and scariest) foreign policy idea to date, why FBI Director Kash Patel's trip to visit his girlfriend is getting slammed by right-wing commentators, the uproar in Israel over a torture investigation, election wins for left-wing candidates in Ireland and the Netherlands, Trump's overtly racist refugee policy, and the final nail in the royal coffin for Prince Andrew. Then Ben speaks with Sanna Marin, the former Prime Minister of Finland, about the double standards women in leadership face, and her new book Hope in Action: A Memoir About the Courage to Lead.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Democrats' sweeping election victories, Trump's call to end the Senate filibuster, the possibility of an end to the historic government shutdown, cartel violence in Mexico, and Trump's warning about nuclear weapons testing. Democrats Sweep Elections Nationwide: It was a strong night for Democrats across the country. In Virginia, they won the governor's mansion, attorney general, and 13 new House seats — a political "bloodbath," as local analysts called it. Former CIA officer Abigail Spanberger became governor, while Jay Jones — who once joked about killing a Republican lawmaker and his children — was elected attorney general. Bryan warns these results reveal a growing radicalism within the Left that Americans can't afford to ignore. New York City Elects Its First Socialist Mayor: Zohran Mamdani won handily with foreign-born voters and young progressives, promising free housing, gun bans, and state control over industries. Bryan compares his victory to a "virus of humanity" spreading nationwide, warning that socialism's false promise of "free for all" could gain traction if Republicans fail to deliver economic results. Trump Pushes to End the Filibuster: President Trump renewed his call to eliminate the Senate filibuster after the Democratic sweep, urging Republicans to "terminate it" to pass voter reform and economic bills. Bryan argues that fears of Democrats abusing power later are misplaced — "that horse has already left the barn." Shutdown Nearing Resolution: Ten Democrat senators are now willing to negotiate a deal to reopen the government, marking the longest shutdown in U.S. history. A short-term plan could fund the military while delaying fights over Obamacare subsidies until December. Mexico's Cartel War and Trump's Dilemma: After the murder of Michoacán's mayor by the Jalisco cartel, Trump is weighing covert CIA and special forces operations inside Mexico. Bryan says the President is torn between patience and decisive action — and both paths carry enormous risk. Nuclear Testing and Rising Tensions: The U.S. will restart nuclear weapons testing for the first time since the 1990s, citing proof that Russia and China are secretly conducting their own tests. Bryan explains how new nuclear-powered cruise missiles and underwater drones are reshaping the global threat landscape.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: 2025 election results Democrats sweep, Abigail Spanberger governor Virginia, Jay Jones attorney general threat scandal, Zohran Mamdani socialist NYC mayor, Trump filibuster termination call, U.S. government shutdown negotiations, Michoacán mayor cartel murder, Trump CIA operations Mexico, U.S. nuclear testing restart, Russia China cruise missile Poseidon drone

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker asks the Department of Homeland Security to suspend ICE operations — including the use of tear-gas — during Halloween to protect trick-or-treaters, but Secretary Kristi Noem insists operations will continue. President Trump concludes his tour of Asia with a new trade deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping that gives China access to powerful AI computer chips. Jon and Dan discuss those developments and the latest news, including Trump's continued threat to deploy troops to American cities, the President's explosive announcement that the U.S. will resume nuclear weapons testing, and a new report that may help Democrats win back Congress and the White House. Then, Tommy checks in with Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for Mayor of New York City, to talk about his campaign's sprint to the finish line and the GOP's attempts to make him the face of the Democratic Party.

  Iran Rebuilds Nuclear Weapons Development Site Guest: David Albright David Albright reports on Iran rebuilding the Talagon 2 site, previously bombed by Israel and associated with nuclear weapons development, including testing components for explosive initiators. The reconstruction suggests Iran is making the facility harder to destroy. Iran's nuclear enrichment program appears temporarily "frozen," but the country is focusing on reconstituting its ballistic missile program using equipment sourced from China and Russia, while existing sanctions prove insufficient to halt these priority purchases. 1895 TEHRAN

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/30/2025): 3:05pm- According to a report from New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan, prediction markets—like PolyMarket and Kalashi—are routinely flooded with “dark money” which may be manipulating public perception of prominent political races, specifically the NYC mayoral race between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo. Could the race be a lot closer than we are expecting? 3:20pm- According to a new poll from Quantus Insights, 53% of New Jersey voters believe their friends, co-workers, and neighbors will be voting for Republican Jack Ciattarelli—compared with just 47% for Democrat Mikie Sherrill. Is this a sign that Ciattarelli has momentum less than a week before Election Day? 3:30pm- Congressman Scott Perry—U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the ongoing government shutdown, the House Oversight Committee's investigation into former President Joe Biden's use of the autopen, and he even references the film Tombstone! 3:50pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping—agreeing to reduce tariffs in exchange for easing restrictions on the trade of rare earth minerals. 4:05pm- According to a report from New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan, prediction markets—like PolyMarket and Kalashi—are routinely flooded with “dark money” which may be manipulating public perception of prominent political races, specifically the NYC mayoral race between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo. Could the race be a lot closer than we are expecting? 4:30pm- Remember when President Donald Trump called into the show on election night and joked that he hoped Rich's ratings went to zero because he wants the whole audience in line voting? Matt hasn't forgotten and he loves to play the clip out of context. PLUS, Rich commits a major bathroom blunder! 5:00pm- The House Oversight Committee has released a video featuring testimony from several Biden administration officials—including Ron Klain, Ian Sams, and Karine Jean Pierre. 5:15pm- House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comey is demanding the Department of Justice investigate former President Joe Biden's use of the autopen—suggesting the administration covered up Biden's cognitive decline and, consequently, his autopen actions should be “void.” 5:20pm- According to a new poll from Quantus Insights, 53% of New Jersey voters believe their friends, co-workers, and neighbors will be voting for Republican Jack Ciattarelli—compared with just 47% for Democrat Mikie Sherrill. Is this a sign that Ciattarelli has momentum less than a week before Election Day? 5:45pm- Rich and producer Sean have a conversation about the predations of big government, the “District Clause” in Article I of the U.S. Constitution, and taxation without representation. 6:00pm- Early voting in New Jersey began on Saturday, October 25th. According to reports, “unaffiliated” voter turnout is already up—and most polling seems to indicate those voters will prefer Jack Ciattarelli over Mikie Sherrill. 6:20pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would begin testing nuclear weapons—though, he didn't specify whether the tests will be of nuclear warheads or the missile/delivery systems that carry them. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladmir Putin has announced a new underwater nuclear-capable missile known as Poseidon—which can supposedly generate a tsunami powerful enough to destroy a coastal city. 6:40pm- In the final years of the Biden administration, White House Spokesperson Ian Sams claimed to meet with the President Joe Biden “every single day”—appearing on television regularly to vouch for Biden's cognitive abilities. However, in recent testimony provided to the House Oversight Committee, Sams revealed he only met with Biden “three or four times” in the two years he served in the administration!

HOUR 1 What's fueling the surge of cancer across America's Midwest—and why won't the media name the most controversial suspect? In this gripping episode of Rush to Reason, John Rush, Dr. Kelly Victory, and Steve House expose alarming cancer trends and ask: are toxins to blame—or something far more recent and widespread? Dr. Kelly reveals evidence linking “turbo cancers” to spike proteins found inside tumors, while John and Steve question why the medical community stays silent. When proof threatens power, who decides what the public gets to know? Meanwhile, a buried $600 billion Big Pharma lawsuit reveals how PBMs have quietly controlled drug prices for decades. Could new technology finally break this monopoly—or has corruption gone too deep? Don't miss this explosive conversation that connects hidden lawsuits, rising cancers, and the fight to uncover the truth. HOUR 2 What happens when unlicensed, illegal truck drivers hit the road—and who's really responsible when things go wrong? Why did Denver come so close, yet fall short, in its bid to host the 2030 Gay Games—and what does that say about the city's political and cultural identity? Then, former President Trump makes a shocking move: ordering the Pentagon to prepare for nuclear weapons testing for the first time since 1992. What's behind that decision, and what message is it sending to the world? And finally—what would you do if you won $2 billion? One California man is using his winnings to buy up properties lost in the L.A. fires. Is it rebuilding or opportunism? HOUR 3 What drives a New Yorker who despises billionaires to throw his support behind socialist candidate Zorhan Mamdani for mayor? Is this a glimpse into the future of urban politics—or a warning sign for the rest of the country? Meanwhile, the CEO of Walmart takes on George Stephanopoulos over the real cost of Thanksgiving dinner this year—so who's telling the truth about inflation? And in a bizarre twist, how did an AI system mistake a bag of Doritos for a gun? What does that say about the technology shaping our everyday lives? Then—California's SEIU union is pushing a new ballot measure: a 5% wealth tax on billionaires, retroactive to 2025. Could this start an exodus—or a revolution? Plus, emergency funds for SNAP and a local race that hits close to home—Steve Altschuler is back in the running for Longmont City Council.

Trump's Nuclear Testing Remarks and the China-Russia Partnership Guest: Anatol Lieven Anatol Lieven discusses President Trump's remark about testing nuclear weapons "on an equal basis" with Russia and China, suggesting it likely refers to missile testing rather than actual nuclear detonations. Lieven analyzes the "no limits" China-Russia partnership, noting its inherent contradictions: China refuses to recognize Russia's annexations of Ukrainian territory and fears Russia's complete defeat, though it simultaneously opposes Russia being gravely weakened. Lieven also addresses the controversy regarding NATO-supplied forces in Ukraine identified as extreme ethnic nationalists, particularly the Azov regiment, noting that their military importance to the defense effort makes disbanding them highly unlikely.

PREVIEW: Impact of Israeli 'Decap' Strikes on Iran's Secret Nuclear Weapons Program Guest: David Albright David Albright assesses the impact of Israeli "decap" strikes against scientists and engineers in Iran's secret nuclear weapons program. While capable personnel can be replaced, the program's intensely secretive nature means vital technical details died with the individuals, creating a significant bottleneck in program continuity. These details, often uncommitted to paper and held solely in specialists' minds, require considerable time to reconstitute, potentially delaying the program by months or longer.

President Trump announced this week, that he has ordered the Department of War to “immediately” start testing nuclear weapons, something the United States has not done since 1992 at the end of the Cold War. Trump's statement came just an hour before he was scheduled to hold a high stakes meeting in South Korea with Chinese President Xi Jinping and also after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the successful tests of two nuclear powered, nuclear capable weapons systems–a cruise missile and an underwater drone. The US Senate today, voted to nuke President Trump's tariffs on Canada. This is the second time this year that the Senate has voted to repeal President Trump's tariffs on Canada.

President Trump's long-awaited meeting with China's Xi Jinping has resulted in some success or both sides, with agreements on rare earth minerals and tariffs. But while these deals may be a welcome sign of diplomatic engagement, Trump's unexpected order to start nuclear weapons testing again, for the first time in 30 years, grabbed the bigger headlines. Matt Pottinger was Trump's Deputy National Security Adviser during his first term, and he joins the program from Utah.  Also on today's show: Patrick Gaspard, confidant of NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani; author Julia Ioffe ("Motherland")  Learn more about your ad choices.
