If Israel rejects the latest offer to pause its War on Gaza, it's a sign that Israel “doesn't want any deal,” argues US journalist and author Jeremy Scahill. Scahill, the co-founder of Drop Site News, tells host Steve Clemons that Hamas has offered major concessions on sticking points such as the number of Palestinian prisoners to be released, Israeli withdrawal from the border with Egypt, and the so-called GHF. But with carte blanche from the US to continue its war, the question remains: Will Israel decide to sign a temporary deal or pursue war?

New data shows the nations with the highest standards of living are seeing the sharpest declines in wellbeing, while people in poorer countries are reporting more happiness. What's going on? David Brooks' recent article looked at data from 142 countries, and he concludes that spirituality and social connection, not just wealth, are critical to human flourishing. In related news, since legalizing euthanasia in 2016 and expanding access to it, Canada has seen an alarming trend. Then, it's been 100 years since the Scopes Monkey Trial. Phil talks to Chris Staron, creator of the Truce podcast, about what really happened at the trial and how fictional retellings of the event are still impacting American culture.

Today's Headlines: In maybe another Epstein distraction tactic, Trump held a fiery presser to announce he's taking control of DC's police and sending 800 National Guard troops for 30 days — despite crime being at a 30-year low. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser called it “unlawful” and noted Congress could've given her Guard control years ago. Trump also hyped his upcoming Alaska meeting with Putin to discuss “land swaps” for ending the Ukraine war. Zelensky isn't invited, but Trump hinted at a follow-up meeting, while European leaders scramble to meet him first. A judge blocked the DOJ's push to unseal Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury records, calling it a distraction. The US and China extended their tariff truce for 90 days, and the US will now take 15% of Nvidia and AMD's China AI chip sales for export licenses. Australia will recognize a Palestinian state at the UN in September, joining Canada and France. At home, a gunman killed 3 people outside an Austin Target, and explosions at a US Steel plant near Pittsburgh killed 1 and left another missing. Severe storms in the Midwest caused deadly flooding in Milwaukee, shut down the Wisconsin State Fair, and left 14 million people under flood alerts. Forecasters are also tracking tropical storm Erin in the Atlantic and Hurricane Henriette in the Pacific.

From the BBC World Service: It came right down to the wire, but the U.S. and China have extended their trade truce until November. This means those massive American tariff hikes — some as high as 145% — have been put on hold, as Beijing was ready to hit back with 125% tariffs. But could another 90 days be enough time to strike a deal? Plus, this summer, several U.S. cities have been gripped by trash collection strikes. We'll hear more.

Midnight last night was the deadline Donald Trump had set for China to reach a deal over trade tariffs. But just hours before it expired the US president extended it again – for another 90 days. We speak to one US business feeling the sharp end of import duties. In a busy week for the US President, Sean Farrington talks Russian sanctions and whether they can actually work. And how much money are Crystal Palace likely to lose as a result of their demotion to the third tier of European football, the Conference League?

Trump Extends 90-Day Trade Truce with China; Trump Announces Federal Takeover of D.C. Police | NTD Good Morning

On today's podcast: 1) China has urged local companies to avoid using Nvidia Corp.’s H20 processors, particularly for government-related purposes, complicating the chipmaker’s attempts to recoup billions in lost China revenue as well as the Trump administration’s unprecedented push to turn those sales into a US government windfall.2) President Donald Trump extended a pause of higher tariffs on Chinese goods for another 90 days into early November, stabilizing trade ties between the world’s two largest economies.Trump signed an order extending the truce through Nov. 10, deferring a tariff hike set for Tuesday. The de-escalation first took effect when the US and China agreed to reduce tit-for-tat tariff hikes and ease export restrictions on rare earth magnets and certain technologies.3) Donald Trump downplayed expectations for his upcoming meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin as the US president seeks to end the war in Ukraine, casting it as a “feel-out meeting” and saying he would confer with Ukrainian and European leaders after the sitdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If there is a more easily understood metaphor for conflict than cats versus dogs, marketers don't want to hear about it.

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports would be announced "within the next week or so," as the administration prepares to target key economic sectors in its effort to remake global trade. Trump also added that he was "getting very close to a deal" with China to extend the trade truce that saw the two countries agree to reduce tit-for-tat tariff hikes and ease export restrictions on rare earth magnets and certain technologies. For more, we hear from Jill Disis, Bloomberg News Desk Editor in Hong Kong. Plus - the S&P 500 was on the brink of all-time highs on Tuesday, before losing steam. In late hours, Advanced Micro Devices gave a stronger-than-expected sales forecast, but warned that its access to the crucial China market remains uncertain. The pullback highlights investor anxiety over the Fed's next move, with economic data complicating the central bank's balancing act between controlling inflation and sustaining growth. Stocks had rallied in the prior session amid growing bets on potential rate cuts after weak jobs data last week. We get perspective from Vishnu Varathan, Head of Economics and Strategy at Mizuho Bank. He speaks with Bloomberg's Heidi Stroud-Watts and Haslinda Amin on The Asia Trade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Martha, Les, and Bishop unpack the latest U.S.-EU trade deal, which imposes a 15% tariff on European goods—lower than the previously threatened 30%, but still a significant shift. The agreement includes EU commitments to increase energy purchases and investment in the U.S., while eliminating tariffs on select American exports. Yet key sectors like steel remain unresolved, and core regulatory and policy differences persist.Will this deal offer short-term stability at the expense of long-term strategy? As Congress eyes the economic impact on American consumers and industries, questions remain about enforcement, sustainability, and whether tariff diplomacy can truly deliver lasting results.Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://apnews.com/article/europe-trump-security-tariffs-ukraine-russia-cb323423c4317c89410c0dee3d389753 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c14g8gk8vdlo https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/28/trump-eu-trade-tariffs-concessions/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgp5q4x4nzo Follow our experts on Twitter: @marthamillerdc@lestermunson@BishopGarrisonLike what we're doing here?

Two days of talks between delegations from Beijing and Washington ended without an extension of the tariff truce set to expire on August 12. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Donald Trump still needs to be briefed on the discussions. Also, the International Monetary Fund has revised its global growth outlook upward, as Trump's tariff policies are scaled back. And, Lesotho's textile industry remains on edge ahead of the August 1 tariff deadline.

Give to help Chris continue Truce. Update: I would like to apologize for an error I made in the original version of this story. I stated that tuition payments to private schools are tax-exempt on the federal level. They are not. They sometimes are on the state level. The episode has been edited to reflect the correct information. When Brown v. Board of Education passed the Supreme Court in 1954, segregationists stepped up their efforts to keep black children out of their schools. If they couldn't use public schools, they'd establish their own private academies. In the 60's the Supreme Court struck down mandatory Bible reading and prayer in schools, causing some Christians to establish private Christian schools. This movement had unfortunate timing in that it lined up with the segregation academy movement. To our shame, many Protestant schools were segregation academies. But this story isn't so easy. In this episode and the next, we'll explore the strange twists and turns of the private school movements of the 1960s and 70s. They illustrate just how tangled evangelicals are with schools, taxes, and racism.

A tenuous truce appears to be holding in southern Syria, after a week of deadly fighting. But leaders from Syria's minority Druze community say their people have been killed, homes looted, and women raped.

My guest today is a regular guy who happens to do a lot of creative stuff! Welcome Robert Scheffler to the podcast. Robert started on guitar after finding the one his mom had when she tried to take up the instrument. He played in school, he played in cover bands (because where he was living, no one wanted originals), he played solo gigs. He played supper clubs where you had to compete with food for the attention of the audience. He joined a band and enjoyed playing. But he also started freelance writing and researching. Soon, the music started taking a backseat to what was paying the bills. He found himself writing and playing less and less, until he finally stopped. He started writing humor full time and did that for about 20 years. He didn't put music away completely, though. He'd sequester himself in a cabin and try to write. He did some composing for short films. Robert explains who and what got him back into writing, what it's like to have a good song in a bad movie, and we take a detour through our mutual love of the mighty Led Zeppelin. We do bring it all back around and talk about his latest album, Truce. It's my favorite in his catalog. Robert reveals the novelist who inspired his new musical outlook. We also talk about the furniture he creates. Go check his music out on streaming platforms. You can also check that and his furniture at robertschefflermusic.com. That's also got his socials.

Fort Smith, Arkansas—historic, quiet, and full of secrets. In this chilling episode, Austin shares two unforgettable experiences from a house bordering the town's historic district. It started with a shadowy figure mistaken for his mother, and ended in a desperate plea to an unseen presence. Years later, as he returned to gather the last of his belongings, the silence broke. Stomping boots, slamming attic doors, and a confrontation even the police couldn't explain. Some spirits honor a truce—but others wait until the house is nearly empty. What really happens in these old homes when no one is watching? If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

After years of paranormal encounters in their youth, the narrator makes a conscious decision to close themselves off from the spiritual world, becoming a self-described “ghost-repellent.” Wherever they go, spiritual activity seems to vanish—until they find a charming house for rent that refuses to stay quiet. On move-in day, the house immediately makes its presence known, calling the narrator's name and opening the back door repeatedly. But when the narrator calmly sets boundaries with the spirit, the disturbances cease—except for one chilling moment when a baking pan flies across the kitchen. With no intention of investigating further, the narrator accepts the silent coexistence, believing that sometimes, the best way to handle a haunting is to acknowledge it without fear.

The more the months go on with no RHONJ in our lives, the more likely it is that both Melissa and Teresa will be returning and many recent statements by Andy Cohen himself sure seem to suggest this. As The Real Housewives of Miami continues with mediocre ratings and a Larsa / Lisa feud we just do not want to pick sides on, they take a time out to send a clear and direct message to Miss Bethenny Frankel and it ain't pretty. Teddi Mellencamp has ignited a new feud we never could have predicted nor saw coming but now just cannot get enough of. Tom Sandoval continues his redemption tour with an appearance on America's Got Talent that many say was rigged. Stacey Rusch tells Wendy Osefo to F off. Candiace Dillard talks Monique Samuels and shady RHOP production. Porsha Williams wins big and oh, so much more. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠⁠⁠Redrazz.org⁠⁠⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) MOOD - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.mood.com/velvet ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.progressive.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠David@advertising-execs.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MERCH Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Iran's strikes both before and apparently after a ceasefire began seem to threaten peace. If it holds, what will that mean for Iran's ambitions, and for the wider region? A meeting of NATO-country leaders seems precision-engineered to appease the alliance's most fickle member. And why Germany is considering cancelling one of its many public holidays.Additional audio courtesy of Chatham House's “Independent Thinking” podcast.Get a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.
