Did Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman really call Iran's Supreme Leader the “Hitler of the Middle East”? The PBD Podcast panel reacts to the viral clip, revisits Marco Rubio's 2015 Iran warning, and debates how long global leaders have viewed Iran's regime as a major threat.

Alors que les frappes américano-israéliennes en Iran se poursuivent, le conflit se régionalise clairement. Après la mort de l'ayatollah Ali Khamenei, la République islamique a choisi de régionaliser le conflit, afin que les pays du Golfe fassent pression sur le président américain pour mettre fin à la guerre. Le scénario tant redouté par les monarchies du Golfe d'être entraînées dans le conflit s'est matérialisé. Alors que l'Iran continue de cibler les alliés arabes de l'Amérique, Israël a ciblé le Liban, après une attaque du Hezbollah contre l'État hébreu. L'analyse de Jean-Loup Samaan, expert associé à l'Institut Montaigne, chercheur senior à l'Institut Moyen-Orient de l'université nationale de Singapour. RFI : Pourquoi est-ce que l'Iran, attaque les pays du Golfe plutôt que de se concentrer uniquement sur l'ennemi numéro un, à savoir Israël ? Jean-Loup Samaan : Alors il y a plusieurs raisons. La première, c'est que les pays du Golfe abritent des bases militaires américaines. Il y a donc la volonté de l'Iran de viser toute la logistique de l'armée américaine dans la région. Après, il y a la volonté de régionaliser le conflit, de créer ce chaos, comme on l'a vu, qui touche à la fois les marchés pétroliers, les compagnies aériennes et enfin, d'un point de vue diplomatique, c'est aussi une façon de mettre la pression sur les pays du Golfe qui jusqu'ici avaient essayé, de façon un peu ambivalente, de rester à l'extérieur, à distance de ce conflit. D'une certaine façon, ils sont obligés maintenant de prendre position. Les monarchies du Golfe ont essayé d'adoucir le ton avec l'Iran ces derniers temps. Est-ce que ça veut aussi dire que finalement, elles n'ont pas vraiment envisagé une attaque iranienne directement sur leur sol. Elles ne sont pas préparées à ce scénario ? Sur un plan militaire, elles sont relativement bien préparées parce qu'on a vu que, malgré l'ampleur des attaques – pour les Émirats arabes unis – on parle de près de 200 missiles, la défense aérienne a plutôt bien fonctionné. Donc, d'un point de vue militaire, ils sont préparés. En revanche, du point de vue politique et sociétal, les populations sur place ont été un peu prises de stupeur. Et là, effectivement, ça crée des tensions parce que ça montre que ces pays, notamment les Émirats qui se sont conçus comme une bulle déconnectée des conflits du Moyen-Orient, se retrouvent en plein milieu de ces derniers. Donc là, ça pose effectivement un problème. Quand le prince héritier saoudien Mohammed ben Salman ne semble pas complètement opposé à ce que les États-Unis entrent en guerre contre l'Iran, ça peut être pour tenter d'éliminer définitivement toute menace iranienne ? C'est effectivement une hypothèse qui a circulé depuis ce 1ᵉʳ mars, en particulier dans un article du Washington Post. J'avoue quand même être du côté des sceptiques sur cette information qui reste encore assez peu fiable et sur des rumeurs anonymes. Tout ce que l'on voit, d'un point de vue public, c'est que ces derniers temps, l'Arabie saoudite a souhaité la désescalade avec l'Iran. La désescalade, ça veut dire l'idée d'une non-agression entre les deux pays. Ça ne veut pas dire qu'ils deviennent des amis. Donc à minima, c'est vraiment, encore une fois, juste la non-agression. Et ça n'empêche pas l'Arabie saoudite, par ailleurs, d'avoir cherché et réussi à renforcer sa coopération de défense avec les Américains. Ça, c'est évident. De là à ce que Mohammed ben Salman, comme ça a été suggéré, aurait cherché à provoquer cette attaque, j'avoue être très sceptique sur cette rumeur à l'instant. Selon une source proche du gouvernement, l'Arabie saoudite estime qu'une attaque iranienne concertée sur des infrastructures pétrolières pourrait entraîner une réponse militaire. Si les frappes iraniennes se poursuivent, peut-on imaginer une réplique de la part des pays du Golfe et de quelle nature ? Plusieurs déclarations en provenance d'Arabie saoudite et des Émirats soulignent qu'ils envisagent toutes les possibilités. Il y a quelques heures, ils ont émis une déclaration conjointe, tous les pays du Golfe avec les Américains. Disons qu'il y a plusieurs aspects qui entrent en ligne de compte. Je pense qu'à ce stade, les pays du Golfe espèrent encore que leur menace de riposte suffise à forcer l'Iran à cesser ses attaques qui sont d'une ampleur sans précédent. Si cela ne marche pas, il y a plusieurs scénarios. Le plus probable, ce serait une coopération avec les États-Unis, parce que les Américains restent l'allié incontournable pour de telles opérations. Et les seuls pays qui soient capables, sur un plan opérationnel, de mener de telles opérations, ce seraient les Émirats, voire l'Arabie saoudite. La France aussi a réagi. Elle s'est dite prête à participer à la défense de ses alliés du Golfe. Est-ce que ça pourrait obliger les Européens à intégrer davantage ce conflit ? C'est effectivement une autre dimension qu'on n'a pas encore vue mais qui potentiellement peut se déclencher. Les pays européens et, en particulier, la France et le Royaume-Uni, qui disposent tous deux de bases militaires dans la région. Concernant la France, elle dispose d'une base navale et d'une base aérienne aux Émirats. Ses accords de défense avec ces pays l'amènent à exprimer sa solidarité. Mais, si on voyait des frappes iraniennes viser délibérément les installations françaises ou britanniques, ça, ça pourrait encore élargir le conflit. Est-ce que cet épisode risque de ternir à plus long terme l'image des monarchies du Golfe ? Ça reste à voir. Ce qui est certain, c'est que pour les populations d'expatriés qui, en particulier aux Émirats, partaient avec cette image de Dubaï ou d'Abu Dhabi comme d'un New York dans le désert, ça écorne l'image et ça peut effectivement avoir une incidence, en particulier pour Dubaï en termes d'attractivité des investissements. Je reste toutefois mesuré parce que cette opération a démarré il y a seulement quelques jours. Pour l'instant, d'un point de vue de la défense aérienne, ça a plutôt bien fonctionné. Reste à voir ce qui va se passer dans les jours qui viennent.

In this episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy revisit Kyun Ki — Priyadarshan's 2005 “romantic tragedy” starring Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Om Puri — and try to figure out what on earth happened. Is this a misunderstood melodrama? A chaotic remake experiment? Or peak mid-2000s Bollywood madness? From mental asylum tropes and questionable Rorschach tests to lobotomies, disco flashbacks, and one very tragic swimming pool, we unpack the film's wild tonal swings and that infamous ending. Expect the usual Khandaan mix of nostalgia, sharp side-eyes, soundtrack detours (hello Kunal Ganjawala), and a deep dive into Salman's mid-2000s era — plus a comparison to the original Malayalam version that Asim heroically watched for research.

Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه (S24) The battle of the trench: This battle took place in the year 5 A.H. The Jews instigated this. They went to Makkah to rally a force to attack the Messenger ﷺ. The Jewish tribes told the Quraysh to lead and that they'll follow. The Jews prostrated to Jibt and Thaaghoot (2 Idols) to prove their oath. The Messenger ﷺ received intel from Abaas رضي الله عنه that ~10,000 men were coming. The believers had one week to prepare. Salman al-Farsi رضي الله عنه suggested digging a trench as this was a tactic he saw in his lands before. Thus a trench was dug around the northern side.

Much of the world's attention remains fixed on Iran, Israel, and the Palestinian question. But another rivalry is quietly reshaping Middle Eastern politics: Saudi Arabia versus the United Arab Emirates. Once close partners, the two Gulf powers now find themselves moving from cooperation toward competition—and perhaps even confrontation. In this episode, Professor Rob Geist Pinfold explores what is driving the shift, what is at stake for regional leadership, and how Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed are maneuvering for influence. While definitive answers may be premature, informed analysis reveals why this evolving relationship matters far beyond the Gulf.

In this webinar, Middle East analyst Hussain Abdul-Hussain argues that Saudi Arabia's recent retreat from normalization with Israel reflects a deeper strategic reversal driven by economic strain and geopolitical recalculation. What once appeared to be a reformist trajectory under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has, in his assessment, stalled—and the response has been a return to populism and state-managed Islamism. Hussain grounds his analysis in economic reality. Saudi Arabia's oil-based model, he explains, can no longer sustain a rapidly growing population amid global oversupply and depressed prices. The kingdom requires far higher oil prices to balance its budget, yet the market has not delivered. Meanwhile, high-profile diversification projects have failed to generate meaningful returns. As fiscal pressure increases, Saudi leadership has reverted to familiar political tools. As Hussain puts it, “When governments realize they cannot fix problems structurally, they revert to populism. And populism needs enemies.” That shift, he argues, explains the resurgence of anti-American and antisemitic rhetoric across Saudi media, religious sermons, and social platforms—channels he emphasizes are tightly controlled and reflect official policy rather than rogue opinion. This rhetoric marks a sharp departure from the language of reform and regional cooperation that characterized Saudi messaging only a short time ago. On Israel, Hussain contends that the strategic logic has changed. After Israel's conflict with Iran weakened Tehran's regional position, Saudi Arabia no longer views Israel as a necessary counterweight to Iranian power. That reduced threat perception weakened one of the main incentives for normalization. At the same time, he argues that Saudi leadership continues to misunderstand the nature of peace with Israel, treating it as a concession rather than a mutually beneficial economic decision. Saudi Arabia still thinks peace with Israel is a reward to Israel, they don't understand that it's a reward to themselves. Several themes recur throughout the discussion: Economic stress as the primary driver: Oil revenues are no longer sufficient, diversification has underperformed, and fiscal pressure is growing. Populism as a fallback strategy: With reform stalled, leadership has turned to ideological mobilization to deflect attention from domestic constraints. Eroding trust in the United States: Inconsistent U.S. policy and abandoned regional partners have pushed Saudi Arabia to hedge rather than align. A stark contrast with the UAE: The UAE's diversification strategy and peace with Israel are presented as a durable, working model Saudi Arabia has not replicated. Realignment toward Turkey and Qatar: Hussain argues that U.S. tolerance of Islamist regimes has encouraged Saudi Arabia's ideological drift. Throughout the webinar, Hussain repeatedly returns to the same conclusion: Saudi Arabia's central vulnerability is economic, not military. Israel does not threaten the kingdom's security—but stagnation does. As he summarizes, what should keep MBS awake at night is not Israel or Iran—it's the Saudi economy. Until Saudi leadership internalizes that reality—and recognizes normalization with Israel as an economic necessity rather than a political favor—Hussain sees little reason to expect a near-term course correction. This summary was written with AI and could contain errors. 

preview for later. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer, Foundation for Defense of Democracies Summary: Schanzer analyzes Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's recent "rogue" behavior, including seeking security pacts with Turkey and opposing strikes on Iran. He argues this reflects a power play to co-opt regional influence from the UAE, a rivalry that could undermine U.S. strategy against the Islamic Republic.1960 NASSER IN DAMASCUS

Sir Salman Rushdie is a writer who has written over 20 books, seven of which have been nominated for the Booker Prize. In 1981 he won with his novel Midnight's Children which also topped the polls for the 25th and 40th anniversaries of the prize, making it the most lauded novel in Booker history.He was born in Bombay in 1947 and educated at Rugby School in Warwickshire. After studying history at the University of Cambridge he worked as a copywriter at various advertising agencies before publishing his first novel Grimus in 1975. His breakthrough came with Midnight's Children and he was one of 20 writers named on Granta magazine's inaugural list of Best Young British novelists alongside writers including Martin Amis and AN Wilson.He attracted considerable controversy with his fourth novel the Satanic Verses which won the Whitbread Award and was shortlisted for the Booker. Some Muslims considered the subject matter blasphemous and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa calling for the death of Salman and the publishers of the book. Salman spent the following decade in hiding under police protection.In 2022 he was stabbed multiple times while on stage at the Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York. He had been invited there to talk about keeping writers safe from harm. He survived devasting injuries – including the loss of his right eye – and wrote about the attack and its aftermath in his memoir Knife.That same year he was awarded a Companion of Honour for services to literature.Salman is married to the poet and novelist Rachel Eliza Griffiths and they live in New York. He has two grown up sons and two grandchildren.DISC ONE: Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed DISC TWO: Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan - Mohammed Rafi and Geeta Dutt DISC THREE: Blowin' in the Wind - Bob Dylan DISC FOUR: (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones DISC FIVE: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) - Whitney Houston DISC SIX: Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard - Paul Simon DISC SEVEN: Isn't She Lovely – Stevie Wonder DISC EIGHT: For the Love of You, Pts. 1 & 2 - The Isley Brothers BOOK CHOICE: Homer's Odyssey (Translated by Emily Wilson) LUXURY ITEM: A bed with a mosquito net CASTAWAY'S FAVOURITE: For the Love of You, Pts. 1 & 2 - The Isley Brothers Presenter Lauren Laverne Producer Paula McGinley

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of on Thanksgiving Day! The 9/11 families still lack answers from Saudi Arabia's involvement in September 11th. Mohammed bin Salman's claim that Osama bin Laden used Saudis to destroy U.S.-Saudi relations is crap. MBS says he wants a two state solution with Israel and Palestine but he won't take in one Palestinian from Gaza. Later, NY Post's Miranda Devine criticizes the FBI and Secret Service for mishandling the investigation into Thomas Crooks' attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a 2024 Butler, Pennsylvania rally. An independent source uncovered Crooks' 17 online accounts revealing his ideological shift from pro-Trump supporter in 2019—issuing threats against Democrats—to anti-Trump critic by 2020, with increasingly violent rhetoric advocating terrorism, assassination, and interactions with a neo-Nazi. The Crooks files need to be released. Also, Qatar is pumping tens of billions of dollars into American universities to help the Muslim Brotherhood weaken America and destroy democracy. It's stunning to the extent we are blind to what Qatar is doing. We ignore this at our own peril. Later, CAIR is suing Texas over Gov Greg Abbott's ‘terrorist' designation. Abbott should use this lawsuit to get to the bottom of CAIR's funding. He should counter claim or conduct discovery on all of their contacts, emails, etc. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the judges in the James Comey case are obstructing the prosecution by granting rare access to secret grand jury information under Federal Rule 6e, despite no evidence of misconduct during the indictment, effectively trying to dismiss the case before trial. The judges continue lecturing the prosecution on alleged faults which create an awful situation. Later, no we are not ready for Michelle Obama to be President. She's a radical leftist who keeps trashing our country and talking down to the people. She'd be unable to hold up to scrutiny on substantive issues had she run. She's no Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, and on and on. The 9/11 families still lack answers from Saudi Arabia's involvement on September 11th. Mohammed bin Salman's claim that Osama bin Laden used Saudis to destroy U.S.-Saudi relations is crap. MBS says he wants a two-state solution with Israel and Palestine but he won't take in one Palestinian from Gaza. The video with Democratic veterans urging the military and intelligence communities to defy ‘illegal orders' from President Trump, without specifying what those orders are is shocking. This is unprecedented exploitation, implying the President is portrayed as a law-violating dictator. Democrats pretend to support the military while slashing its budgets under Biden. A three-judge panel issued a 160-page order blocking Texas's new congressional redistricting plan, alleging it was unlawfully based on race rather than partisanship. In a scathing 104-page dissent, Judge Jerry Smith accused majority judges Jeffrey Vincent Brown and David Guaderrama of "pernicious judicial misbehavior" by denying him adequate time to review and respond, calling it the most outrageous judicial conduct he had encountered in 37 years. Smith argued the redistricting was driven by partisan gain, not racial animus, dismantling the majority's claims as deceptive, misleading, and factually erroneous. Learn more about your ad choices.

From $400 million planes to $300 million ballrooms, from cryptocurrency to just plain… currency, President Donald Trump and his family have profited massively from his return to the White House. According to the Center for American Progress, the Trump family has received nearly $2 billion in cash and gifts since President Trump won the 2024 presidential election. This week, during Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to the White House, the president downplayed his family's dealings in Saudi Arabia, but the reality is that those business ties have grown significantly during his second term. For more on just how much money Trump and his family are making from his return to the Oval Office, we spoke to Andrea Bernstein, podcast host and author of "American Oligarchs: The Kushners, the Trumps, and the Marriage of Money and Power."And in headlines, President Trump threatens Congressional Democrats with violent rhetoric, Customs and Border Patrol prepares more immigration crackdowns in Louisiana and Mississippi, and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with President Trump at the White House.Show Notes:Check out Andrea's book – wwnorton.com/books/american-oligarchsCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Congress overwhelmingly passes a bill compelling the Justice Department to release its Epstein files, setting up a 30-day countdown that could spark new political fights over redactions.

The Crooks files need to be released.  Also, Gov Mike Dunleavy calls in to discuss a new discovery at Alaska's Graphite Creek site near Nome which has uncovered vast reserves of graphite and rare earth elements potentially dealing a major blow to China's 90% dominance in these minerals. The project qualifies for Defense Production Act materials and plans to ship resources to an Ohio plant, maximizing value through by-product recovery. This find allows the U.S. to wean off China's rare earth minerals. Afterward, all of the so-called Epstein files will be released. Rep Clay Higgins was the only Congressman to vote against it, but he has a good point. There are innocent victims, witnesses and people who were helping investigators that do not want there name out in the media.  Finally, Dr Marc Siegel calls in to discuss his new book – The Miracles Among Us: How God's Grace Plays a Role in Healing.

President Donald Trump joyously welcomed Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, also known as MBS, to the White House on Tuesday. That's despite the fact that, according to US intelligence, MBS allegedly ordered the 2018 murder of Saudi dissident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The meeting was supposed to center on Saudi investments in the United States in exchange for military equipment and possible access to nuclear technology – as the US and Saudi Arabia become closer partners than ever before. So for more on what MBS's very friendly visit means for U.S.-Saudi relations, we spoke with Pod Save the World co-host Tommy Vietor.And in headlines, Education Secretary Linda McMahon works to "break up federal bureaucracy", the US takes one step closer to maybe possibly finally seeing the Epstein files, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott says he'll take the state's redistricting fight to the Supreme Court.Show Notes:Check out Pod Save The World – tinyurl.com/4n6y99muCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, President Donald Trump rolled out the red carpet for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. At a grand White House dinner, an investment summit at the Kennedy Center and a sit-down in the Oval Office, the leaders appeared to be in lockstep.It was a stark contrast to 2018, when the U.S. intelligence community concluded that Mohammed had approved the killing and dismemberment of Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Lawmakers condemned the crown prince and withdrew support for Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen. Today, Elahe Izadi speaks to White House correspondent Michael Birnbaum about how the crown prince was welcomed back into the fold — and why the U.S. refuses to cut ties with Saudi Arabia. Today's show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy with help from Emma Talkoff. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Annah Aschbrenner.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

The bill to release the Epstein files passes by unanimous consent in the Senate. Nicolle Wallace discusses that victory, but also speaks with Marc Elias about his victory in court over Texas Republicans' gerrymandered map after a federal panel of judges moves to block the map. Later, Nicolle discusses Trump's meeting with Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman and the disparaging comments he made about Jamal Khashoggi.For more, follow us on Instagram @deadlinewhTo listen to this show and other MSNBC podcasts without ads, sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts.  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.
