Netanyahu & Ben Gvir Turn on Each Other – Here’s Why

Israel's controversial strike on an airbase in northern Syria close to Turkey was "first and foremost a message to the United States" that Turkish military penetration deeper into Syrian territory "can be turned into a real and total war," and any U.S. policy that tolerates it is "not sustainable," according to Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast. The attack has been criticized as an election ploy by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While Yanarocak said such considerations may have played a role in its timing, he stressed that Turkey's ambitions in post-Assad Syria are a legitimate source of deep concern for Israel. Israel's military establishment sees them as a substantial threat and pushed for the attack after Turkey ignored warnings. The past three years of war have shifted the balance of power in Turkey's favor with the weakening of both Iran and the Gulf states, he explained in a conversation with podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer. He discussed the bold ambitions of the country led by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the key role Syria plays in them. "The public discourse in Turkey is neo-Ottomanism," Yanarocak said. "Putting it more familiar to the American ears: 'Make Turkey Great Again' … Turkey is thinking very big."

Hawk examines AIPAC influence, Democratic Party divisions over Israel, Gaza, military aid, Zionism, antisemitism, and whether criticism of the Israeli government is being unfairly conflated with hatred of Jewish people. Names raised include Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker, Alyssa Slotkin, Josh Gottheimer, Rashida Talib, Bill Maher, Jonathan Greenblatt, and Wolf Blitzer. He questions whether establishment Democrats are out of step with their own voters on Israel and Gaza, and whether CNN's coverage of Hassan Piker has met basic standards of fairness, context, and journalistic integrity.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, there's deep frustration, shared by many Americans, over government officials who voice concerns about figures like Abdul El-Sayed, and Hasan Piker yet take no real action against them. We're not discussing freedom of religion but rather individuals who seek to destroy the country, promote violence, attack the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and undermine the system—primarily first- and second-generation Islamists, some of them naturalized citizens or children of birthright citizenship (like Piker). The Washington ruling class lacks the will to defend law-abiding American patriots, with Democrats protecting such individuals for their votes and others remaining intimidated by accusations of Islamophobia. Later, a Democrat nobody's heard of, Rep Johnny Olszewski, declares that impeachment of President Trump a top priority if Democrats take the House. Democrats are weaponizing impeachment for pure politics against a president who won a record popular vote, Electoral College total, and every swing state, rather than addressing genuine constitutional violations. Also, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposes a private Manhattan event featuring the leader of India's Hindu nationalist group (the RSS, ideological parent of the ruling party and linked to Prime Minister Modi). This is part of a pattern of his hostility toward Jews, Italians, and now Indians.  Mamdani a bigot who trashes PM Modi the same way leftists trash PM Netanyahu.  Later, Hasan Piker's recent remarks linking American Jews' support for Israel to potential violence against them, while blaming AIPAC for Democratic backlash, have drawn condemnations from several Democratic lawmakers. AIPAC is a transparent American PAC funded by Americans—unlike foreign influence from places such as Qatar or Turkey. Finally, Sen Dan Sullivan calls in to discuss his Senate election against Mary Peltola, who is a far-left liberal whose two terms in Congress produced zero bills signed into law. Sullivan called Alaska's ranked-choice voting system a manipulable scam put on the ballot to elect liberals - don't fall for it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Michael is joined by Yaakov Katz, former Editor-in-Chief of The Jerusalem Post and author of While Israel Slept: How Hamas Surprised the Most Powerful Military in the Middle East, for an assessment of the Israeli perspective following months of joint strikes on Iran with the U.S. Yaakov explains the political impact of the war in Israel and the origins of the widening diplomatic daylight between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Washington. He also previews the upcoming Israeli elections, analyzing Netanyahu's fight for political survival against a surging opposition led by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot. Finally, Yaakov evaluates the operational stalemate in Gaza, conditions surrounding the Board of Peace's 15-point disarmament plan, and the enduring challenges to long-term stability. 

An IDF social media video appeared to advise ultra-Orthodox Israelis facing military draft enforcement on how to avoid arrest at Ben Gurion Airport — and it was quickly deleted. In this episode of Israel Daily News, Shanna Fuld breaks down the controversy surrounding the now-deleted IDF video ahead of the annual Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage to Uman, Ukraine. The video reportedly used an AI character called “Dudy the Explainer” to explain how draft evaders could avoid being detained at the airport. The controversy comes as Israel's long-running battle over Haredi military service intensifies and new legislation has left some pilgrimage-bound Israelis facing draft-evader status. Shanna also examines the growing security tensions in Judea and Samaria, including the strategic significance of the proposed E1 settlement expansion, British pressure over Israeli settlements, and warnings about settler violence. Meanwhile, election season is heating up. Gadi Eisenkot is calling a two-state solution “delusional” following October 7th while simultaneously criticizing the E1 expansion as a strategic mistake. He also takes aim at Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir over settler violence. The episode also looks back at the 2014 Gaza war, including reports of secret direct back-channel contacts between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas through intermediary Shlomi Fogel — contacts that Netanyahu's office and Fogel have denied. Plus, Shanna speaks about Tal Goldstein-Almog, a young survivor of Hamas captivity, and highlights his interview with Australian journalist Erin Molan. And in a cultural tribute, Shanna remembers Dolly Parton and the extraordinary impact of her Imagination Library, including its connection to PJ Library and Israel's Sifriyat Pijama program. The episode also remembers Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, including her acclaimed 2021 exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Finally, Rabbi Yossi Madvig explores this week's Torah portion, Ki Tavo, discussing light and darkness, the Messianic era, and the difference between the afterlife and the “world to come.” In this episode: • The controversial IDF video for draft evaders • Why the IDF deleted the video • The Haredi military draft crisis • The Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage to Uman • Airport enforcement and draft evaders • Rising tensions in Judea and Samaria • The E1 settlement expansion plan • British pressure over Israeli settlements • Gadi Eisenkot's election campaign • Israel's upcoming elections • IDF operations against October 7th attackers • Tal Goldstein-Almog and his experience in captivity • Reports of secret Netanyahu-Hamas contacts in 2014 • Israel Daily News' independent journalism • Rosh Hashanah gifts from Israeli artists • Dolly Parton's global legacy and PJ Library • Yayoi Kusama's legacy in Israel • Torah thought with Rabbi Yossi Madvig Support independent journalism: Israel Daily News is independently produced and does not work for the Israeli government.

Israel and the United States may be allies, but when it comes to Syria and Turkey, a potentially dangerous divide is opening up. Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum unpack Washington's decision to remove Syria from its state-sponsor-of-terrorism list despite its new president's jihadist past before addressing the controversy surrounding U.S. envoy Tom Barrack's comments on the Golan Heights. Then they turn to an even bigger potential flashpoint: Turkey's expanding influence in Syria and Israel's determination to prevent Turkish military forces from establishing themselves closer to its borders. Viewers will learn why Jerusalem and Washington increasingly see Syria and Erdogan through very different lenses, why Israel has already demonstrated that Turkish military expansion could cross a red line and how Prime Minister Netanyahu must navigate those disagreements without jeopardizing Israel's crucial relationship with President Trump.

El asalto sobre Ceuta del 30 de julio que se tradujo en la entrada ilegal de entre 70.000 y 80.000 personas en la ciudad, es la mayor crisis fronteriza del último medio siglo y, sobre todo, una radiografía del método clásico de gobierno de Pedro Sánchez, el de supeditar cada resorte del Estado (diplomacia, seguridad y hasta la Corona) a su propia supervivencia, apoyándose en la propaganda y en la búsqueda constante de culpables. Para el Gobierno, la responsabilidad siempre es de otros, de la "ultraderecha", del machismo, del cambio climático, de Trump o de Netanyahu. Lo ocurrido en Ceuta nos muestra a un Gobierno que ha renunciado a gobernar para limitarse a perdurar. Como síntoma del desbarajuste con el que se está gestionando esto la ministra de Defensa, Margarita Robles, declaró el lunes en el parlamento que el CNI advirtió con dos días de antelación del asalto. Poco después el ministro del Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska dijo lo contrario. El fallo, por tanto, no fue de inteligencia sino de voluntad. La cadena de mando no funcionó y el Estado se encontró no con la guardia baja, sino sin guardia de ningún tipo. Sánchez, por su parte, ha preferido marcar un perfil muy bajo, se ha pasado el mes de vacaciones, primero en Lanzarote y luego en Andorra. Han tardado 26 días para comparecer en el Congreso (después de vetar al Senado que no controlan), casi un mes para reunir el Consejo de Seguridad Nacional y 22 días para nombrar un coordinador. El mando único que reclamó desde el primer día el presidente de Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, se lo negaron para autorizarlo tres semanas después. A eso habría que sumar el intento de instrumentalizar a Felipe VI, sugiriéndole que llamara al rey de Marruecos para agradecer su colaboración, algo que, en todo caso, corresponde al Gobierno y que sirve a la agenda marroquí de desestabilización institucional. De fondo una relación con Marruecos que es de puro servilismo desde que, hace cuatro años, el Gobierno cambió de postura sobre el Sáhara Occidental. A cambio no se ha obtenido nada, ni siquiera un eficaz control migratorio. Marruecos abre o cierra el grifo en función de sus intereses. Pero el Gobierno exculpa una y otra vez al Gobierno marroquí e incluso le elogia públicamente. Entretanto Ceuta sigue desbordada, hay miles de inmigrantes sin identificar, inseguridad, robos violaciones y ciudadanos que se sienten abandonados. El episodio encaja en el patrón habitual de convertir la política exterior en prolongación de la estrategia electoral, presentarse como némesis de Trump, negarse al gasto en Defensa y tejer alianzas con China al margen de Bruselas. Todo ello erosiona la confianza de los aliados europeos justo cuando España más los necesita. La razón última es un Gobierno en minoría y una legislatura muerta. Estos tres años registran un récord de improductividad legislativa, se ha abusado del decreto (168 desde 2018) y hay infinidad de leyes bloqueadas. Un presidente maniatado y deslegitimado dentro busca oxígeno fuera. Cuando no se puede gobernar lo más sensato democrático es devolver la palabra a los ciudadanos, pero por ahí Sánchez no quiere pasar porque eso le sacaría del poder.

A president who craves praise is easy to steer, and Charles Goyette argues that's exactly the danger facing US foreign policy right now. I'm joined by the New York Times best-selling author and Libertarian Institute writer to unpack his “mousetrapped” thesis: how Benjamin Netanyahu can use flattery, timing, and intelligence claims to nudge Donald Trump toward bigger risks in the Iran conflict. We walk through the mechanics of influence, including a reported decoy travel maneuver and why low-confidence intelligence can still change presidential behavior when fear and ego are involved. From the narrative of an Iranian threat to the way “tough” posturing spreads through the Beltway media ecosystem, we look at how escalation becomes normalized. We also confront the dark side of public war commentary, where calls to “obliterate” a major city get airtime as if consequences are optional. Then we bring it back to what gets ignored: leverage, accountability, and the human toll. We talk about US aid and Israel policy, political corruption allegations and market rumors, and why morale and mission clarity matter for service members living with the fallout of shifting objectives. If you care about the Israel and US relationship, Trump and Iran tensions, intelligence manipulation, and anti-intervention analysis, this is a must-hear conversation. Subscribe, share the show, and leave a review so more people can find it, what part of this debate do you think the public is missing?

The glut of new small parties throwing their hats in the ring is increasing the chances that after the voters have their say, there will not be a decisive win either for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition nor the opposition parties determined to topple him. "All of these new little parties are headed by individuals who are placing their ego above the political outcome. They can't possibly join an existing party – they have to try to start their own," said Haaretz columnist Dahlia Scheindlin on the Haaretz Election Podcast. As a result, the voters may not end up determining who will be prime minister, and instead a “little gang” of “six, seven or eight male party leaders” will meet and decide the make-up of the coalition, Scheindlin said. Scheindlin joined fellow columnist Esther Solomon and host Allison Kaplan Sommer to discuss the results of the Likud primaries, opposition frontrunner Gadi Eisenkot’s declaration that there will be no Palestinian state on his watch, what appears to be a politicized decision by Israel’s internal security service not to officially protect Eisenkot, and how Netanyahu, stuck in the polls, appears to be dangerously “firing in all directions” in order to find a way to victory. "He has the capacity to aggravate, or provoke, or exploit any number of crises that are happening in this region,” Solomon said. Little, however, Scheindlin pointed out, appears to be moving the needle for the prime minister. He has shown that "you can attack Iran and attack Iran again. You can bomb Lebanon. You can kill Hassan Nasrallah, and nothing has changed the polls."

Iran's 60-day window with the United States has expired — and there is still no diplomatic breakthrough. In today's Israel Daily News, Shana Fuld breaks down the latest developments across Israel, Iran, and the region, including reports that Tehran used the 60-day period to expand missile and drone production and strengthen coordination with its proxy forces in Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon. The Trump administration is now pushing what it calls an “economic D-Day” against Iran, targeting the country's oil exports, banking system, and foreign trade networks. Iran's currency has fallen to a record low, while tensions continue to rise across the region. Meanwhile, Israel's domestic political battle is intensifying ahead of the October 27 election. Ultra-Orthodox protesters blocked Highway 4 near Bnei Brak following the arrest of a yeshiva student who failed to report for his IDF draft summons. The Haredi draft exemption debate has become one of the defining political issues in Israel, with coalition parties pushing new legislation while critics argue that all Israelis should share the burden of military service. Shana also breaks down Netanyahu's warning to right-wing voters about smaller parties potentially failing to cross the electoral threshold — and why reaching 61 seats is so important for forming a government. Plus, a major historical discovery: Divers have located the wreck of the Altalena, the ship at the center of one of the most painful episodes in Israel's early history. The ship, carrying weapons, fighters, and immigrants, arrived in Israel in 1948 and became the center of a confrontation between David Ben-Gurion's government and Menachem Begin's Irgun. When the IDF opened fire on the ship, Begin ordered his fighters not to retaliate in order to prevent a civil war. Now, decades later, the wreck has been located intact roughly 500 meters underwater off the coast of Tel Aviv.

Benjamin Netanyahu has been a major figure in Israeli politics for a long time. You could have just turned 30 years old and never known a time when he wasn't either prime minister or somewhere near the top of Israeli politics. But could that be about to change?With less than three months until the Israeli general election, Netanyahu is struggling in some polls. His rival is a man who is little known outside of Israel – former Israeli military chief Gadi Eisenkot. In some international media, Eisenkot is being dubbed the ‘anti-Netanyahu'. But is that accurate?We speak to David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, who has spent time with Eisenkot for a major profile piece.The Global Story brings clarity to politics, business and foreign policy in a time of connection and disruption.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, a major debate among conservatives will run through the 2028 Republican primaries, pitting Buchananites (post-liberal conservatives) against Reaganites and Trumpites, with some Trumpites sounding more like the former. It centers on national conservatism versus traditional constitutional conservatism and the proper use of government power. Some voices push interventionism resembling FDR or LBJ—socialist lite—without clear limits, seeking popular appeal while dismissing the strong growth of the 1980s. Such candidates could win a primary but lose the general election. Power is ubiquitous and shapes politics and liberty, yet is distinct from liberty itself.  Properly used, as in the American Revolution and the Constitution that replaced the weak Articles of Confederation, it secures ordered liberty through limited, divided government (“positive power”). Abused, it centralizes authority, erodes liberty, and turns democracies toward autocracy (“negative power”)—via courts overriding voters, people voting away their freedom, or bureaucratic expansion. Also, Doran Spielman, international spokesman in the Israeli Prime Minister's office, describes rising tensions as Erdogan moves military forces into Syria near Israel's border to exploit the situation, having taken over and militarized a former Russian base despite Netanyahu's warnings, prompting an Israeli Air Force strike. Erdogan is now sending more vehicles including tanks into southwestern Syria; Netanyahu has again warned against it, while Erdogan claims this is not Gaza and even the United States could not protect Israel if struck, to which Netanyahu replied that Israel has faced bigger empires. Later, President Trump campaigns for Sen Darline Graham in South Carolina and we take his remarks live! Finally, Ken Paxton calls in his Texas Senate race against James Talarico - a hardcore leftist who is trying to reinvent himself as a moderate Democrat. If a Democrat wins this seat, it would reshape Texas and threaten Republican control of the Senate. Paxton's top priority is the Save America Act to secure elections; he also prioritizes tackling the federal deficit, placing constitutional conservatives on the judiciary, and confronting China as America's primary economic and military challenge.

MUSLIMS ARE planning enclaves that could put self-contained religious communities near Dallas and Houston. Meanwhile, amplifiers broadcast the call to prayer in American cities like Minneapolis, Dearborn and Hamtramck, Michigan, and Paterson, New Jersey. Imams are growing increasingly bold in their statements that their goal is to turn America into a Muslim nation. What most Americans don't realize is that there is no separation of church and state in Islam. The church IS the state, for all intents and purposes. But more than that, this is a spiritual war that the god of Muhammad—who is not to be confused with the triune God of the Bible—intends to win. Here's the link to the article Derek mentioned, "A Call to Power: Islamic Leaders See Ballot Box as Path to Paradise," by Paul Sperry. That fact is also behind a statement issued by the foreign ministers of Turkey, the UAE, Indonesia, Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. In a joint statement, the ministers objected to Israel's plan to build 3,400 new dwellings in an area east of Jerusalem called E1. They complain that this would separate Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem from the rest of the so-called West Bank, blocking the creation of a future Palestinian state with its capital at Jerusalem. From the Israeli standpoint, that is rather the point. After the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, Israel will not accept an independent Palestinian state on its borders. Further eroding the situation in the Middle East, Turkey has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Turks are seeking an Interpol red notice for the arrest of Netanyahu as part of a criminal case against him for Israel's interception of an aid flotilla sailing for Gaza back in May. The charges include genocide, crimes against humanity and torture. Well, good luck with that. We also discussed a plan to build data centers around the ring of fire, the volcanically active area around the Pacific Ocean, using geothermal energy to power the centers. Tapping into volcanoes to generate electricity. What can possibly go wrong? Also: Social media is causing an epidemic of mental and spiritual illness, as evidenced by the crowd of women who gathered outside the courthouse in Plymouth, Massachusetts Thursday in support of Lindsay Clancy, who has admitted to killing her three children. Granted, postpartum depression is a real thing. But that doesn't mean Clancy shouldn't be held accountable for what she did.

Longtime editor-in-chief of The New Yorker David Remnick joins the Haaretz podcast and guest host Joshua Leifer for a wide-ranging conversation about his more than three decades of reporting on Israel and Palestine, the role of the journalist in a populist age, and the future of U.S.-Israel relations. "The only way to tell this story is to try to tell it truthfully and to know that you will fail," Remnick wrote in his report on the aftermath of October 7, 2023, published just two weeks after the attacks. In this episode, Remnick recalls what it was like to walk through the ruins of Kibbutz Be'eri and what was then the great trepidation of the nature of Israel's impending response. Remnick returned to report on Israel and Palestine four more times over the last three years, and in July, The New Yorker published Remnick's profile of Gadi Eisenkot, currently the frontrunner among the candidates challenging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Remnick and Leifer discuss whether Eisenkot has what it takes, and what an Eisenkot-led government might do differently. Can the damage wrought by the current government be undone? After Israel's destruction of Gaza, and amid spiraling settler violence in the West Bank, what remains of the prospects for a just resolution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians?

Chris Michaels, of the show with his name, joins us for a packed friday broadcast that goes beyond the supposed free-minded alternative commentary of world events. Find Chris @CMichaelsShow on X and on Spotify https://t.co/abBhfo5YqlTonight: From personal experience, Ryan and Chris dissect their first and secondhand accounts of local politics being filled with literal drugs and sex. Did Mike Huckabee finally realize how evil Israeli settlers are when he called them “terrorists” or is this simply PR to placate the base? The US bans Central Bank Digital Currency and immediately the White House pushes the crypto firm World Liberty Financial, and Stable Coin. From Tom Alexandrovich to Michael Caruso, the “tickle monster” who was just arrested on child sex abuse charges, disgust over pedophilia is apparently also antisemitic. While Q had you chasing spiral designs in manga or rock paintings, people like Tom get flown back to Israel. Rabbi Shmuley refers to his enemies as reptilians, while Norm Coleman says “the masters of the universe are Jews,”and AIPAC makes a video claiming that Jews are human like the rest of us.  Lastly, when the next Führer comes to power, it is highly likely they will be a combination of Trump and Mamdani.It appears the overall theme here is that every active opposition and resistance is kosher approved. Everything is sex, drugs and a rock and a hard place — what is real and what isn't.  *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, subscribe below. 

Co-author of Israel's Lobby: America in the Grip of a Foreign Power, and co-founder of the Quincy Institute for Responsible State craft joins Bad Faith to not only unpack the history of the Israel lobby and the roots of its enormous influence, but to diagnose how the lobby is evolving to respond to the fact that it has become a liability for politicians who receive its support. How does Clifton explain Zohran & AOC's commitment to AIPAC's biggest recipients, like Hakeem Jeffries? Why does Bernie, who takes no AIPAC money, frequently narrow his criticism to "Netanyahu?" Can following the money help explain the mystery of Hunter Biden's departure from his father's foreign policy?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. After Israel struck a military base in Syria, where Turkey was apparently ready to deploy forces, Horovitz reviews the ensuing diplomatic ruckus between Israel, Turkey and Syria, with a US envoy castigating Israel but the White House silent. Following this week's meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump aide Jared Kushner regarding the Board of Peace plan for Gaza, Horovitz explains the shared goal but differing approaches of the US and Israel, and highlights the need to not only disarm Hamas but also drain its coffers. Horovitz examines the results of Monday's Likud primary and the options still available for Netanyahu to parachute a few of his own selected candidates to high slots on the party's final Knesset slate. He also updates us on the emergence of yet another small party, and a renewed alliance between three established ones. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Jared Kushner and Prime Minister Netanyahu met for hours in Jerusalem over the future of Gaza and came out sounding hopeful, though Israel still hasn't committed to the U.S. peace plan that Hamas has already agreed to, with an Israeli withdrawal the main sticking point. The war with Iran is draining America's military and it's being felt across the world, as the U.S. runs low on warships and interceptor missiles and no American aircraft carrier in the Pacific for the first time in years.

Trump is flailing so badly on Iran. He dispatched Jared Kushner to negotiate with the regime but then denies that any talks are happening at all. He also threatened to bomb one ally and hammered another for not helping him fight his war. And somehow, in all of this, Kushner—a private businessman and a consultant for the Saudis—is meeting with Hamas officials and Netanyahu while also looking out for his own financial interests.

Chris Cuomo digs into the latest comments and questions from the YouTube community, taking on viewers who accuse him of going too easy on Donald Trump, being unfair to Zohran Mamdani, carrying water for Israel, and refusing to choose a political side. He also responds to a Trump voter who says he's abandoning the GOP over healthcare and affordability, and explains why the anger that originally drove people toward Trump was real—even if Trump ultimately failed to fix the system he promised to disrupt.Chris argues that MAGA has swallowed the Republican Party, questions a political culture where loyalty to Trump matters more than challenging your own side, and explains why he'd probably have millions more subscribers if he simply became another partisan voice. He also gets into criticism of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu, what the government may really know about UFOs, growing resentment toward billionaires, and why Democrats need an economic agenda built around affordability, wages, healthcare and a system that works for more than the people at the top.Join The Chris Cuomo Project on YouTube for ad-free episodes, early releases, exclusive access to Chris, and more: https://www.youtube.com/@chriscuomo/joinFollow and subscribe to The Chris Cuomo Project on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: https://linktr.ee/cuomoprojectProtect your family with life insurance through Ethos—get up to $3 million in coverage in as little as 10 minutes at https://ethos.com/cuomo Learn more about your ad choices.

TABLE OF CONTENTS, THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-17-2026.Bill Roggio reflects on the five-year anniversary of the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, highlighting the accuracy of the maps he built that predicted the Taliban's takeover. He describes the withdrawal as disorganized, noting there was zero plan for the Afghan government or military equipment. Roggio specifically criticizes the abandonment of Bagram Air Base, which he believes was the superior evacuation site. He also addresses current Middle East policy, dismissing proposed land blockades against Iran as "fanciful" and impractical. He warns that current strategic failures mirror the indifference seen in Afghanistan. (1)Bridget Toomey analyzes the reawakening of the Yemeni Civil War, noting that the Houthis are launching fresh offensives to seize the Red Sea coast and the Bab el-Mandeb choke point. While the Houthis claim to target Saudiinterests, their primary focus has shifted to defeating government-backed ground troops. Toomey highlights the extensive use of drone technology by both sides, with the Houthis demonstrating sophisticated capabilities while the Yemeni government adopts modified Chinese systems. She notes that Saudi Arabia remains hesitant to fully re-initiate a large-scale military intervention despite continued Houthi aggression. (2)Janatyn Sayeh explores the "secret plan" of Iranian hardliners to escalate regional conflict and raise costs for the United States. He notes that while the Iranian economy is an existential vulnerability, the regime is willing to ride out sanctions to maintain its Islamist agenda. Sayeh critiques the viability of a U.S. land blockade, citing the difficulty of gaining cooperation from neighbors like Afghanistan and Pakistan. He argues that power is concentrated within the IRGCsecurity establishment rather than just the Supreme Leader, and that internal rifts are secondary to the elite's collective survival. (3)Malcolm Hoenlein provides an overview of the October 27th Israeli election, explaining the complex "list" voting system and Netanyahu's challenges. He discusses the "Board of Peace" negotiations, stressing that the central hurdle remains Hamas's refusal to disarm before Israeli withdrawal. Hoenlein also touches on regional tensions, including Hezbollah's rearming and internal unrest in Iran fueled by economic desperation. Finally, he notes Turkey's significant lobbying efforts in Washington through a new headquarters and a "glorious new front" of diplomatic normalization between Israel and several South American nations including Colombia. (4)Edmund Fitton-Brown argues that the U.S. is "running out of ideas" regarding economic pressure on Iran, labeling a land blockade as far-fetched due to uncooperative neighbors. He suggests that secondary sanctions on Chinese "teapot" refineries are a more practical tool. Regarding Yemen, Fitton-Brown observes that the Houthis have become emboldened by U.S. irresolution and are pushing south to capture the Bab el-Mandeb. He expresses cautious optimism regarding Jared Kushner's diplomatic delegation, noting that experienced figures like Tony Blair are unlikely to be "dupes" for Hamas during negotiations. (5)John Hardie reports on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, specifically Russia's rejection of a Black Sea ceasefire in favor of striking Ukrainian food supplies. He notes that while Russia maintains a maritime blockade advantage, Ukraine is retaliating with high-precision long-range drone strikes against Russian oil refineries and defense plants. Hardie suggests that the Kremlin may be receptive to a moratorium on deep-strike operations because their own infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable. He concludes that Ukraine currently holds a tactical edge in drone technology, aided by Western intelligence to bypass Russian air defenses. (6)David Daoud details the escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, noting that Hezbollah's refusal to disarm has prompted the IDF to prepare for a major operation. Israel is currently conducting "clearing operations" to destroy Hezbollah installations near the Al-Aishiyeh Ridge. Daoud highlights the recent deaths of senior commanders from the elite Radwan and Badr units, which indicates that Hezbollah's operational security remains compromised. Despite these losses, Hezbollah is working with Iran to rebuild its command structure and has attempted to smuggle advanced weaponry, including cruise missiles, into Lebanon. (7)Kamran Bokhari examines the evolution of the Iranian regime, arguing that the Supreme Leader has become a figurehead for the IRGC and security establishment. He suggests that the war has accelerated a process of internal fragmentation, though the elite remains united by a shared fear of collapse. While public uprisings have gone "underground," the regime continues to conduct mass arrests to prevent a critical mass of resistance. Bokhari describes a "post-clergy" era where the military dominates political life, noting that the regime has evolved into a different entity than it was decades ago. (8)Alan Tonelson exposes a massive Chinese tariff evasion scheme, where goods are rerouted through countries like Cambodia and Mexico to bypass U.S. duties. This "scam" is estimated to cost the U.S. up to $26 billion in annual revenue. While the White House is developing AI-based systems to strengthen customs enforcement, there is criticism regarding the lack of direct penalties against Beijing. Tonelson notes that 40 countries are currently complicit in these practices, harming the U.S. manufacturing base. He predicts only modest changes to these trade dynamics through the remainder of the current administration. (9)Samuel Ben-Ur discusses the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza, focusing on Jared Kushner's meeting with Hamas leadership to discuss a 15-point peace plan. Ben-Ur explains that Israel rejected the plan because it lacked a verifiable mechanism for Hamas's disarmament before Israeli withdrawal. He dismisses reports of famine in Gaza as propaganda, noting that international bodies currently view aid levels as acceptable. The conversation emphasizes that Hamas remains committed to the destruction of Israel, making voluntary disarmament a "fiction," while Israeli politics remain divided over the war's prosecution. (10)Richard Epstein critiques Senator Bernie Sanders' characterization of Israeli politicians as "extremists," viewing it as a provocative attempt to shift American Democratic policy. Epstein argues that a two-state solution is fundamentally unstable because an autonomous Palestinian region cannot be prevented from remilitarizing. He contends that proponents of this solution often act in bad faith, ignoring Hamas's history of violated ceasefires. Furthermore, Epstein describes the Democratic Socialists of America as isolationists who focus disproportionately on Israel while ignoring other global aggressors like Vladimir Putin in Ukraine. (11)Jeremy Zakis reports on the looming weather crisis in Australia, where meteorologists predict a "super El Niño" combined with a positive Indian Ocean Dipole. This rare combination is expected to cause extreme drought and record-breaking temperatures in New South Wales and Victoria. Zakis warns that a wet winter has fueled rampant eucalyptus growth, creating a massive volume of flammable oils. These conditions have "primed" the landscape for catastrophic wildfires. Residents are being urged to clear undergrowth immediately, as the upcoming fire season could surpass the severity of the devastating 2020–2021 bushfires. (12)One small fix beyond the log: Badr unit (source had "Bader," segment 7) — the standard rendering of Hezbollah's Badr unit. Janatyn Sayeh applied per your confirmed spelling.

Today's Headlines: Trump threatened to "bomb the shit out of" Oman — a longtime US ally and the country currently facilitating Iran negotiations — because Iran and Oman are having side talks about the Strait of Hormuz that don't include him, and when asked why, he said "I don't think they behave very well," which confused even Fox News. Jared Kushner and Netanyahu spent several hours reaching the conclusion that Hamas should hand over weapons to an American general before any Gaza reconstruction begins, Netanyahu won't redeploy the IDF, and two working groups will be formed — all of which Netanyahu is navigating with one eye on his October reelection, so temper expectations accordingly. On the public health beat, the FDA upgraded the 20 million egg recall to its highest-risk classification, meaning the salmonella could cause death, with additional recalls hitting jalapeños, potato chips, frozen pizza, dog food, and lactation granola — check fda.gov for the full list. Kindergarten vaccination rates declined for every tracked vaccine this year, with exemption rates rising in 41 states from 3.6% to 4.2%, and 24 states now above 5% — which sounds small until you remember that's all it takes to collapse herd immunity. Meanwhile, Google bought 100 million Spirit Airlines emails and 500 million Microsoft Teams chats for $10 million at bankruptcy auction to train its AI. In court updates, the Supreme Court again denied Trump's attempt to escape paying E. Jean Carroll $5 million, without elaborating, while he still owes her another $83 million on a separate verdict they haven't weighed in on yet. Luigi Mangione's state murder trial is postponed indefinitely while his lawyers pursue double jeopardy arguments and Jill Stein has an arrest warrant after skipping a hearing for allegedly kicking a cop at a Gaza protest. One last thing, polls are open today for the Florida and Alaska primaries, so go vote!

President Trump ordered the Navy to swap modern electromagnetic catapults for older steam power on its carriers. The Associated Press’s Konstantin Toropin explains why the change would be a huge undertaking. Congress remains gridlocked on regulating AI, even as lawmakers quietly turn to chatbots for everything from speeches to legislation. The Washington Post’s Anna Liss-Roy breaks down the murky rules governing AI use on Capitol Hill. A wave of American tourists is overwhelming cities across Europe.

Multiple sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have reportedly attempted to jump overboard amid severe mental stress, food shortages, and inadequate basic supplies after more than 250 consecutive days at sea. In this segment Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight allegations from sailors and their families about deteriorating conditions across multiple Navy and Marine Corps ships, including shortages of fresh food, toiletries, laundry facilities, and other necessities.  The two also contrast those conditions with Pentagon spending, including millions of dollars on lobster, ribeye steaks, king crab, and other expenses under the military's "use it or lose it" budgeting practice. The commentary argues that the disparity reflects serious leadership and resource-allocation problems within the U.S. military, particularly as service members endure unusually long deployments. Plus segments on Bibi Netanyahu revealing that Israel's war is with Christianity and the West, TPUSA Pastor Rob McCoy caught lying about the rooftop shooter and recent reports of San Francisco cops' outrageous salaries.

Today's Headlines: Todd Blanche went on Meet the Press and admitted he cannot pledge DOJ independence from the White House, and that the DOJ may ask the Supreme Court to intervene in 22 cases where judges blocked Trump's election interference efforts — specifically the administration's attempt to get voter rolls including names, addresses, and partial social security numbers from 30 states and DC. Trump also asked the Supreme Court to let him finish the $900 million White House renovation after courts ordered construction to stop by August 21st, now openly calling it a "national security structure" and "military complex" rather than a ballroom, posting an AI-generated video of himself consulting AI George Washington about the design, and accusing the people who sued him of treason for "revealing top military secrets" — about a ballroom. He also wants to redesign the entire Navy aircraft carrier fleet to look like World War 2 ships at $22 billion each. Meanwhile, families of sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln spoke to the Guardian describing relatives who lost 20-30 pounds, no clean drinking water, sparse food, and a five-week wait to see the ship's only psychiatrist — and when Trump was asked if the sailors had been deployed too long, he said they hadn't been deployed long enough. A detail the administration has not been eager to divulge is that Iran destroyed the Bahrain port where US Navy ships would normally dock, so every American warship in the region has nowhere to resupply. Trump also reduced joint military exercises with South Korea to please Kim Jong Un, posting a throwback photo of the two of them and noting they have "many where we're smiling" — sure, Donald. Jared Kushner met with Hamas in Egypt where they reaffirmed their commitment to disarming, which Netanyahu doesn't believe. In other news, Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to two federal stalking charges and his lawyers are using the plea to argue double jeopardy on state charges, while his New York murder trial still starts next month. And finally,  Lake Mead and Lake Powell — the two largest reservoirs supplying water to seven western states — hit their lowest levels in seven decades, because July was the hottest month on record and winter was the driest.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Tucker Carlson and Matt Gaetz are lying again – accusing Mark of pushing for ground troops in Iran. On March 28, 2026, Mark discussed the possibility of special forces or elements of the 82nd Airborne securing Iran's enriched uranium if it could not be destroyed or altered, which is a specific, sophisticated mission rather than any call for hundreds of thousands of ground troops or regular infantry. Mark never advocated for large-scale ground forces. Carlson and Gaetz deliberately editing his remarks. They trash Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the U.S., its military, and President Trump while rarely criticizing the Iranian regime, and aligning with Islamists. Also, Gov Kathy Hochul and Zohran Mamdani are excited that local law enforcement will not work with ICE to deport criminal illegal aliens. Are New Yorkers happy about this? How could anyone vote for a Democrat given this reality? Later, Rep Jim Jordan calls in and explains the substantial overlap between the Democratic Socialists of America and the modern Democratic Party, which has shifted from the party of FDR and JFK to one that is anti-Israel, antisemitic, and socialist while opposing common-sense policies such as supporting the police, ICE, and opposing sanctuary jurisdictions.  Finally, the family of 15-year-old American Malki Roth, killed in the 2001 Sbarro restaurant bombing in Jerusalem that claimed 15 lives and wounded about 122 others, has filed a civil lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Ahlam Aref Ahmad al-Tamimi, the Hamas operative who planned and executed the attack. Malki Roth's father, Arnold Roth, calls in and explains that the terrorist remains free in Jordan, is celebrated as a national hero and expresses no regret beyond not killing more people, while Jordan refuses extradition despite a treaty. Roth explains the civil lawsuit which is under the Anti-Terrorism Act seeking to seize her assets and make her life less comfortable, with any recovered funds directed to the Malki Foundation.
