This week, the radical reality behind NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's inner circle and his agenda to financially gut the middle class. Before we even look at his insane proposed 50% "death tax" that will wipe out the generational wealth of everyday families leaving behind just $750,000 to fund bloated, hyper-woke city programs, we have to look at the company he keeps. We break down the disturbing anti-Semitism of his wife, who celebrated the October 7th terror attacks, and his father's extreme anti-Western rhetoric comparing Abraham Lincoln to Adolf Hitler. Then, Jillian tears into Joy Reid's delusional and vicious lie comparing American democracy to the brutal regime in Iran.  Finally, we head to the West Coast where Gavin Newsom's administration is officially crashing out under the weight of an epic $434 billion state fraud catastrophe exposed by Nick Shirley and Dr. Oz. California is hemorrhaging taxpayer money.  We dig deep into his wife's shady financial dealings - reportedly siphoning $3.7 million from her own transgender “charity” organization.  And finally, we expose Newsom's Chief of Staff, Dana Williamson, who is now facing 23 federal counts of fraud including wire fraud, bank fraud, and obstruction of justice.

Cameron Khansarinia (Chief of Staff to Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last monarch and a leading figure among opposition groups) joins Chris Cuomo to break down whether regime change in Iran is actually possible — and what could come next. Khansarinia explains why he believes the current moment presents a real opportunity for change, arguing that many Iranians oppose the regime but lack the conditions to act. He outlines how opposition efforts are being organized, what role Reza Pahlavi is trying to play, and why some believe a transition is more realistic than it appears from the outside. Cuomo presses him on the biggest risks: whether the opposition is truly unified, what happens if the regime collapses, and whether outside pressure from the U.S. or Israel helps or complicates the situation. The conversation also explores how ordinary Iranians are experiencing the conflict — and how different that reality is from what Americans typically see.

Behnam Ben Taleblu joins Bridget to offer his expertise on Iran. They discuss who's actually in charge in Iran right now, what Americans need to understand about the Islamic Republic's ideology, why the plight of Iranian women gets ignored by Western feminists, and why this conflict is fundamentally different from Iraq 2003. They cover how the regime destroyed Iran's environment to fund the Revolutionary Guard, how they worked with Mexican drug cartels and Canadian biker gangs to target dissidents on US soil, how AI-generated propaganda muddies the water in favor of the regime, why Hollywood actors completely miss what's happening by lumping Iran with Palestine and Iraq, the regime's scorched earth strategy of burning countries to rubble to survive, Iranian sleeper cells already on US soil, the strategic importance of not giving this regime a premature off-ramp, and why Americans Googling “how far is Iran from the United States” shows how much work remains in explaining the stakes of this conflict.

Iran is cracking down on dissent to prevent an uprising by its citizens. The Wall Street Journal’s Margherita Stancati breaks down the situation Iranians are in.

Plus, why teens are suing Elon Musk’s xAI, the House Oversight Committee officially subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi, and how spas and gyms took over traditional retail space. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.

An Iranian missile made impact in the Old City of Jerusalem with shrapnel landing on the Temple Mount, Israel was able to carry out an almost impossible assasination of the one leader that may be holding the Iranian regime together, meaning it's possible they could be close to collapse, and the US used 5000 pound bunker busters to bomb missile production sites deep underground near the Strait of Hormuz.

Convidado: Demétrio Magnoli, comentarista da GloboNews e colunista dos jornais O Globo e Folha de S.Paulo. Ali Larijani, o líder efetivo do regime iraniano desde o início da guerra, foi alvo de um bombardeio aéreo israelense na madrugada desta terça-feira (17). Além dele, morreu também Gholamreza Soleimani, chefe da Basij, uma milícia paramilitar e voluntária da Guarda Revolucionária do Irã. A morte de Larijani é a maior baixa do regime dos aiatolás desde o primeiro dia de ataques israelenses e americanos ao Irã, quando o líder supremo do país, Ali Khamenei, foi assassinado. Larijani era o chefe do Conselho de Segurança, o cérebro por trás das estratégias de defesa e da política nuclear do país e o mais influente canal diplomático do governo com o Ocidente. Para explicar quem era Larijani e as consequências da morte dele para o regime e para o futuro da guerra, Natuza Nery conversa com Demétrio Magnoli, comentarista da GloboNews e colunista dos jornais O Globo e Folha de S.Paulo. Demétrio também avalia o risco de uma incursão terrestre no Irã e analisa os objetivos militares de Israel e dos Estados Unidos – onde o diretor do Centro Nacional de Contraterrorismo se demitiu nesta terça.

They discuss Russia's rich and powerful keeping families and assets in the West, the propagandist Solovyov “going rogue” as he criticizes military shortages and communications bans, and how a widening internet and messenger crackdown—especially severe in central Moscow—may relate to purges around Shoigu and fears of elite plotting. Constantine describes severe economic disruption from unreliable internet, business closures, layoffs, and unpaid salaries, likening it to a Titanic-style collapse. They also assess how higher oil prices may briefly ease pressure without saving the regime, and argue Russia is losing allies and geopolitical standing, citing Iran, Syria, and BRICS fading from propaganda.----------CHAPTERS:01:41 Surkov Rumors and Exile06:03 Londongrad and Elite Safe Havens11:04 Solovyov Goes Off Script12:59 Propagandists Smell Change16:35 Shoigu Purge and Internet Link18:34 Moscow Internet Blackout Mystery22:20 Frontline Fallout and Civilian Disruption25:09 Army Comms Breakdown26:03 Internet Shutdown Fallout26:37 Businesses Freeze Up27:53 Daily Life Disrupted28:47 Layoffs And Panic29:36 Titanic Collapse Analogy30:56 Wake Up Call And History32:40 Satire And Denial34:12 Oil Price Windfall41:38 Putin Abandons Allies----------

As the war continues and Donald Trump flounders the Islamic regime is conducting its fight for survival with a tenacity that neither the Israelis or the Americans anticipated. Should the regime survive the majority who want change will lose but if it falls the likeliest outcome is chaos with further suffering inflicted on the Iranian people.

Welcome to Meaning-Making 101 where we explore the crisis of meaning in our world today, and how we may help usher in an awakening from it. Tonight, we consider the War in Iran through the eyes of Iranian people, who en masse, are celebrating the actions of the U.S. and Israel in working to free them from a brutal authoritarian extremist Islamist regime. This is not to say Muslims themselves are bad people by any means. Rather, we speak in condemnation of the violent extremist factions therein. Join the conversation in our chat!

While Operation Epic Fury enters its third week with the U.S. and Israel targeting Iran, President Trump announces that both Iran's Navy and Airforce have been decimated. Republican candidate for Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District and a former Marine, Kevin Hermening, has been watching this conflict very closely and shares his support for the efforts to deny Tehran a nuclear weapon while expressing his belief that the Iranian people will ultimately overthrow the Mullahs. Captured in Tehran in 1979 while serving as a Marine security guard at the U.S. Embassy, he shares his firsthand experience of 444 days in captivity.March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. While the disease is typically associated with older adults, a startling shift is changing that perception: diagnoses in adults under 50 are on the rise. Rebecca Siegel, Senior Scientific Director of Surveillance Research at the American Cancer Society, joins the Rundown to break down why the risk is increasing for generations born after 1950 and the symptoms that young adults often ignore.Plus, commentary from Comedia and FOX News Contributor Tom Shillue.

On this episode of the podcast, Senior Research Fellow for Naval Warfare and Advanced Technology in the Allison Center for National Security and retired Navy Captain Brent Sadler joins Amanda Head to unpack the growing pressure on Iran's 47-year-old regime and what it could mean for the future of the Middle East. Sadler explains how Iran's long record of sponsoring terrorism, targeting the United States and its allies, and pursuing nuclear weapons has pushed tensions to a critical moment. He also details how coordinated U.S. and Israeli actions have dramatically reduced Iranian missile launches and weakened the regime's ability to project power across the region.The conversation explores what success would actually look like: a new Iranian government that no longer threatens its neighbors, destabilizes the region, or targets American interests. Sadler also weighs in on the international dynamics at play, including support from allies like France and Japan and the possibility that China and Russia could attempt to prop up Tehran.You can follow this podcast, Amanda Head, and Brent Sadler exclusively on X by searching for the respective handles: @FurthermorePod, @AmandaHead and @BrentDSadler.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donald Trump dachte offenbar, Irans Führungsstruktur würde durch die Luftangriffe der USA und Israels schnell zerbrechen. Jetzt könnte dieser Krieg zu einer ernsthaften Gefahr für die Macht des US-Präsidenten werden.Seit dem 28. Februar führen die USA und Israel Krieg gegen Iran. Die Angriffe der USA und Israels haben im Land eine schwere humanitäre Krise ausgelöst, mehrere Krankenhäuser wurden evakuiert, zugleich geraten Schifffahrt, Ölmarkt und die gesamte Region unter Druck. US-Präsident Donald Trump hatte offensichtlich gehofft, dass das Regime in Teheran schnell kapitulieren würde. Das scheint ein verheerender Fehler gewesen zu sein. Denn nun könnte nicht die Macht der Mullahs in Gefahr sein, sondern seine. In dieser Ausgabe von »Acht Milliarden« spricht Host Juan Moreno mit Mathieu von Rohr, Leiter des SPIEGEL-Auslandsressorts.

1. No Endless War or Ground Occupation Strong emphasis that this is not Iraq or Afghanistan: No large ground invasion No nation-building No long-term occupation Military strategy described as rapid, overwhelming, air-dominant action. Confidence that U.S. casualties will be minimal and duration short. 2. Military Action Against Iran Is Justified as Self-Defense The conflict is framed as a response to 47 years of Iranian aggression, including: Sponsorship of terrorism Killing nearly a thousand Americans Attempted assassinations of U.S. officials Iran is described as an irrational, theocratic death cult, making deterrence unreliable. Nuclear capability in Iran is portrayed as an existential threat to U.S. cities. 3. This Is “America First,” Not a War for Israel Repeated rejection of claims that the war is driven by Israel or Jewish influence. Such claims are labeled dishonest, antisemitic, and propaganda. The stated motivation: protecting American lives and national security. 4. Gas Prices Are a Short-Term Political Weapon Gas price increases are framed as temporary and expected due to Middle East conflict. Democrats are accused of exploiting gas prices the same way they previously focused on egg prices. The speaker argues prices are still lower than under Biden, despite rising from recent lows. Long-term expectation: Iran’s collapse would lower global gas prices. 5. Strong Leadership vs. Weak Appeasement Trump is decisive and feared by adversaries. Obama and Biden are criticized for appeasement and failed nuclear deals. Past diplomatic failures (North Korea, Iran nuclear deal) are cited as evidence diplomacy failed. 6. Harsh Criticism of Tucker Carlson and Isolationists Tucker Carlson is accused of: Spreading anti-American propaganda Echoing Islamist narratives Undermining U.S. troops His statements about unconditional surrender and nuclear escalation are called: False Dangerous Morally grotesque Isolationist conservatives are grouped with progressive Democrats as a shared threat to U.S. foreign policy. 7. Iranian Regime Change Is Seen as Necessary The appointment of a new Iranian leader (son of the former Ayatollah) is rejected. Any continuation of clerical Islamist rule is deemed unacceptable. Regime collapse is framed as the only path to lasting security. 8. Deterrence Fails with Religious Extremism Comparison between North Korea and Iran: North Korea: dangerous but rational Iran: irrational due to religious ideology Argument: Traditional nuclear deterrence does not work with actors who glorify martyrdom. 9. Public Opinion Depends on Duration and Casualties Acknowledgment that support would collapse if: War drags on for years U.S. casualties rise significantly Confidence expressed that this outcome is “near zero.” 10. Closing Shift to Religion and AI Ends with an unexpected, uplifting segment: An AI-generated Christian apologetic is quoted at length. The response argues Christianity is intellectually compelling, historically grounded, and uniquely truthful.

On this episode of Roqe, Jian opens with an essay titled “Beware the Regime Narratives in Western Media.” As the conflict surrounding Iran continues, Jian examines how Islamic Republic propaganda can travel through Western media ecosystems - and how narratives amplified abroad can eventually be used to influence audiences inside Iran. He looks at several examples currently circulating in Western coverage - from the discussion around Mojtaba Khamenei and regime succession, to the claim that the Iranian revolution has faded because people have not returned to the streets during the bombing campaign, to the repeated assertion that there is no opposition leadership. Later in the episode, Jian speaks with Germany-based researcher and political analyst Forouq Canaani, joining from Munich. Their conversation explores: the war so far the regime's disinformation tactics how narratives move between Iran, the diaspora, and Western media the question of succession and whether the conditions for a new uprising inside Iran may be emerging.

Trump just said Cuba is going to fall 'pretty soon' — and that the US might have a 'friendly takeover' of the island. Then he added: 'It may be a friendly takeover. It may not be a friendly takeover.' Cuba is down to, in his words, 'fumes.' So what's actually happening here, and is the Cuban regime really about to collapse?SPONSOR: Good RanchersGood Ranchers is the only meat company fully dedicated to America at every step, sourcing exclusively from local American farms and handling everything—from packaging to customer support—right here in the U.S.Get 25$ off HERE: https://www.goodranchers.com/discount/NICK-----GET YOUR MERCH HERE: https://shop.nickjfreitas.com/BECOME A MEMBER OF THE IC: https://NickJFreitas.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickjfreitas/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NickFreitasVATwitter: https://twitter.com/NickJFreitasYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NickjfreitasTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nickfreitas3.0

For about two weeks, U.S. and Israeli forces have bombarded Iran. They have targeted Iranian military and nuclear sites. They have slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials. They have even sunk an Iranian vessel deep in the Indian Ocean. Iran has responded by hurling missiles and drones at targets in the Gulf, Israel, and elsewhere in what has become a surprisingly broad and sustained retaliation. U.S. President Donald Trump has promised Iranians some kind of regime change, but that will not be so simple. Iran has declared Khamenei's son Mojtaba to be his successor, a move that seems to double down on the old order.  In this two-part episode, Senior Editor Daniel Block spoke with leading experts on the course of the war, the future of the Iranian regime, and the upheaval and uncertainty in the wider region.  First, Afshon Ostovar, an associate professor of national security affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School, explored how the Islamic Republic has been reshaped by the attacks—and what it would take to truly dismantle the regime. Then, Sanam Vakil, the director of the Middle East and North Africa program at Chatham House, discussed the widening remit of the war and how it has upended the assumptions and hopes of many Gulf countries.  Block spoke with Ostovar and Vakil on Tuesday, March 10. Both agree that while much remains uncertain about the trajectory of the war, it is already remaking Iran, the Gulf, and the wider Middle East in dangerous ways.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: A newly revealed classified U.S. intelligence assessment casts doubt on one of the central assumptions behind the war with Iran — that military force could trigger regime change in Tehran. According to the report, even a large-scale campaign may not be enough to topple the country's entrenched clerical and military leadership. Lebanon's president makes a surprising diplomatic move, calling for direct negotiations with Israel while openly blaming Hezbollah for dragging the country into a war that serves Iran's interests. The proposal is raising eyebrows in Washington and Jerusalem, where officials question whether Beirut can actually disarm the Iran-backed group.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up — a strange apology from Iran's president reveals new cracks inside the regime. President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to Gulf neighbors for Iranian missile and drone attacks, but the strikes continued and hardliners quickly pushed back. Later in the show — new reports suggest Russia may be providing Iran with intelligence that could help identify targets tied to U.S. forces in the Middle East, raising the possibility that another major American adversary is now indirectly involved in the conflict. Plus — President Trump raises the prospect of major political change in Cuba, suggesting the island's communist leadership may soon face the same pressure that brought down Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro And in today's Back of the Brief — New York City and federal authorities investigate a device with a lit fuse allegedly thrown by a left-wing counter-protester outside the city's mayoral residence that sent people running for cover To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting https://PDBPremium.com.

1. U.S. Military Action & Objectives in Iran The U.S., alongside Israel, has conducted a major military campaign aimed at dismantling Iran’s military capabilities—missiles, drones, and leadership structure. Primary objective: Regime collapse, not a prolonged war. Trump administration views the Iranian regime as a 47‑year sponsor of terrorism and responsible for killing Americans. Intelligence suggested Iran was rapidly scaling missile and drone production, prompting immediate action. The Ayatollah and much of Iran’s security leadership were reportedly eliminated early in the conflict. 2. Nuclear & Terror Concerns Iran previously claimed it had enriched uranium sufficient for 11 nuclear bombs. U.S. officials believed Iran intended to develop and potentially use nuclear weapons. Iran has provided an estimated 90% of funding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis over decades. 3. Impact on China via Oil Disruption Iran historically sent 87% of its oil exports to China; Venezuela sent ~55%. U.S. actions against both nations’ regimes have significantly disrupted China’s energy supply chain. 4. Shake-Up at the Department of Homeland Security President Trump removed Christy Noem as DHS Secretary. Replacement: Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma. Noem faced backlash during Senate questioning—especially from Sen. John Kennedy—regarding: $220M in DHS-funded TV ads featuring her Possible improper contracting Claims that Trump approved the campaign (which he denied) Her testimony was viewed as damaging, contributing to her removal. 5. Texas Primary Elections Major developments in several key GOP races: Dan Crenshaw lost his House primary to Steve Toth, receiving criticism for confrontational behavior and losing touch with constituents. Multiple candidates endorsed by Sen. Ted Cruz won their primaries (Jessica Steinman, Chris Gober, John Bank). Texas Senate GOP runoff: John Cornyn vs. Ken Paxton—an expensive, bitter contest. Democratic nominee: James Talarico—portrayed as ideologically extreme but rhetorically moderate, making him a potentially formidable opponent. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
