Correspondent Kate Fisher spoke to John Campbell from Washington DC.
So the kids are so unruly in Lee's Summit that business and city leaders have decided to end a 40 year tradition because..... why? This is weak, feckless and so unlike Lee's Summit. Grow a backbone. The situation in Iran, many have thought, would always be wrapped up by this weekend as a personal goal of President Trump. Now he's threatening stronger action against them with more military strikes. Oh, brother. The Netherlands takes over Riverside for the World Cup and there's something about the "Oranje" that I kinda like. I think I will root for them. We have an update on the price of Madison Square Garden for Travis and Taylor's wedding. Wouldn't it just be awesome if Patrick Mahomes stepped up the microphone and blasted his alma mater, Texas Tech, for their outrageous handling of a quarterback with a huge gambling problem? I'll explain how. A fan from Germany is going viral for showing some of things we take for granted in America and making them sound great. Charles Barkley makes a comment about a performer's boobs, a record marlin could be worth millions and Hunter Biden is proud to have been a crack addict in our Final Final.

Episode 112 opens with the bombshell buried inside a Barak Ravid Axios piece: Trump told Netanyahu "BB, you better be careful or you will be on your own very soon." Ghost walks through the full timeline of how Israel struck Beirut without telling the White House, only alerting CENTCOM, Iran retaliated, five countries called Trump begging him to press Netanyahu, and Trump told the Financial Times he calls all the shots, Netanyahu calls none. Mark Levin's Sunday night Fox meltdown gets the full Ghost treatment: calling Trump desperate, activating the Hasbara influencer network, and signaling that the diaspora now sees the rug being pulled. Ghost then delivers his most complete retrospective yet on why Trump had to inflate Israel's ego first, tracing it back to the 2020 Abraham Accords standoff and Netanyahu congratulating Biden on election night. Pakistan's prime minister and army chief co-sign a sealed letter delivered directly to the Iranian Ayatollah, bypassing every normal diplomatic channel. France bans Smotrich, Italy investigates Ben Gavir, and nine countries have now barred one or both Israeli ministers. A gas pipeline explosion in Dagestan sits precisely on the SCO North South Transport Corridor, and Ghost calls it plainly: Ukraine, CIA, and Mossad sabotage.

Today's Headlines: A Delaware court ruled that companies can vote in municipal elections in the beach town of Fenwick Island — not just business owners, but the companies themselves as entities — and given that two-thirds of Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware, that's either a quirky local ordinance or the most efficient corporate takeover of democracy ever attempted. Joe Biden is suing the Trump administration to block the DOJ from releasing audio recordings of his conversations with his ghostwriter, which the DOJ is planning to drop on June 15th purely for the humiliation factor, since the investigation was closed and no charges were ever filed. Trump threatened Oman — the Gulf state that has been acting as the diplomatic channel between the US and Iran — during a Cabinet meeting, saying they'd better "behave or we'll blow em up." On the reflecting pool saga, a National Park Service analysis found that Trump's no-bid pool contractor — his favorite pool guy, does all his pools — submitted a contract with an $850,000 overcharge above the typical profit margin, and it turns out the contractor can't even seal the gaps between the concrete slabs, which is a fairly foundational part of the job. California Governor Gavin Newsom announced he'll tax any Traitor Fund payouts to Californians at 100%, with a New York assemblyman proposing the same, which is the most satisfying thing to happen all week. New York state also passed a tax on luxury second homes valued at $5 million or more, expected to generate $500 million a year, and both New York and New Jersey AGs subpoenaed FIFA over alleged deceptive pricing practices for World Cup tickets at MetLife Stadium. A Google software engineer was charged with fraud and money laundering after making $1.2 million on Polymarket by betting on search trends using nonpublic Google data under the username AlphaRaccoon, which is somehow the most on-brand financial crime of 2026. And finally, the EU is actively screening travelers for Ebola as suspected cases in the Congo surpass 900.

The Trump family's attack on the freedom of speech rights of private citizens continues, as today, we learned that Trump's FCC plans to challenge ABC station licenses amid Melania's feud with Jimmy Kimmel. For the administration that was apparently going to “make comedy legal again,” it seems that only applies to people they dislike. This is not the first time Donald Trump or members of his family have resorted to authoritarian tactics to silence comedians who make jokes at their expense, or reporters who publish stories that particularly upset the regime Kimmel took to the air to respond to the GOP's wild accusations against him, saying “It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he's almost 80 and she's younger than I am,” Kimmel said. “It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination, and they know that I've been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence in particular.” On this episode of Big F*ing Deal, Jo and Tara also dive into the attempts by Donald Trump and his Republican Senator lackeys in Congress to pay for the White House ballroom with taxpayer funds. Going back on a statement is nothing new for Donald Trump and the GOP, for whom practically every word of out their mouths is a lie. But at a time when Americans struggle to afford grocery or gas prices due to his illegal and costly Iran War, this should be a step too far. They also discuss Trump's absurd call to rebrand ICE agents as ‘NICE Agents,' in an attempt to salvage the agency's abhorrent public perception. The Trump midterm message is as follows: We will hide the Epstein Files from you that we promised to release, while bombing children's elementary schools during our illegal war and raising your gas prices in the process, cause the job market to crash and inflation levels to rise. And while we're at it, we're going to send thousands of masked secret police agents into your communities to kidnap your family members and keep them in a concentration camp while denying them medial resources. And then we'll use your money to pay for a lavish, Victorian-era ballroom so Dear Leader can throw his Mar-a-Lago parties for his billionaire friends at the People's House. Great midterm message, Donald. No notes Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Donald Trump said he'd remember companies that decline to seek refunds on duties paid after the Supreme Court struck down a large swath of his tariffs. In February, the Supreme Court ruled against Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose so-called “reciprocal” tariffs on imports from nearly every country. That ruling set the stage for a complicated task that could become the largest repayment by the US government in its history. Trump's comments come a day after US Customs and Border Protection launched a web portal for importers to file requests for refunds that could total more than $160 billion. Yet, the process is still fraught with uncertainty. Independent media has never been more important.

Trump warns China of serious consequences if it arms Iran while claiming the US has already won, regardless of negotiations. The panel breaks down China's alleged role, covert support tactics, and how global power players are maneuvering behind the scenes.
SEASON 4 EPISODE 78: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) BREAKING: Trump attacks and threatens Pope Leo in insane online rant, criticizing him for being opposed to Nuclear Weapons. Then in an in-person interview upon his return to Joint Base Andrews tonight insists Pope Leo was wrong to SUPPORT Nuclear Weapons. Trump then posts an image of himself dressed in Jesus-like attire apparently healing a hospital patient. No comment yet from the world's 1,200,000,000 Catholics. (8:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: I know, I know, lots of stuff just happened: Orban topples in Hungary, Vance beclowns himself there and in talks with Iran, Trump basically ends the ceasefire and threatens war against EVERY country in the world if they send a ship through the strait of Hormuz, the Houthis are trying to blockade the OTHER shipping bottle-neck there, Trump caught staring at cleavage at the cage fighting in Miami, Swalwell self-defenestrating. But I'll stick to this: The Melania Trump speech about Epstein was the single most important public statement by anybody connected to Trump in the last decade. She, personally, out of nowhere, moved the Epstein story back to center stage. A month of world-shaking cataclysm by her husband to bury the Epstein story and HIS COVER-UP OF IT and in 535 words she undid all that. And the thing that will keep this story alive for months: NONE of her words were in defense of her husband. She never said WE are innocent. She said I am innocent. She said it TWENTY FOUR TIMES. Her speech could’ve been only FIVE words long. Five words that may end the Trump presidency: I’M not taking the fall. PLUS: No, Swalwell isn't the victim and the allegations aren't anonymous and this isn't a Roger Stone set-up. He just knew there was a story, the way in 2017 I knew there was a story that would end up getting Matt Lauer fired from NBC and I knew it six days before Lauer knew it. That "B" follows "A" does not mean "A" caused "B." B-Block (42:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Chuck Todd blames Trump's pardons on Biden because Chuck Todd Disease. The Financial Times with one of the great corrections of our time. The banner if not the roof falls in on Gov. Shapiro. And what exactly are Kalshi, pro golf, and golfer Bryson deChambeau trying to sell in a commercial that ends with deChambeau evidently moving to a crashed UFO to beat an injured extraterrestrial to death with some golf clubs? C-Block (56:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: My greatest sports record fell last night. It was 21 years and two months between episodes of ESPN's SportsCenter that I anchored. My old friend Rich Eisen has now made it 23 years. A good time to describe the Rip Van Winkle effect, and the bizarre stories about my goin' back to Bristol, Bristol, Bristol, in 2005, 2013, and 2018.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After President Trump announced that the US would blockade the Strait of Hormuz, Fareed asks retired Admiral James Stavridis, the former NATO supreme allied commander, what it would take to execute it. Next, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken joins the show for an exclusive conversation about his own experience negotiating with Iran. Then, since the beginning of the conflict, Iran has launched retaliatory strikes against Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and others. Fareed speaks with Tarek Masoud, director of Harvard Kennedy School's Middle East Initiative about how this has impacted the relationship between the United States and its allies in the Gulf. Finally, Karen Young, senior fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs, joins the show to discuss the potential impact on global energy prices if President Trump moves to blockade the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump wanted the Iran War to end quickly after six weeks of fighting, and so he issued a dire threat: submit or he will “end an entire civilization.” Now we're in a fragile two-week ceasefire for negotiations. The White House says the warning was necessary to get us to this point, but critics called it reckless.Congress also returns to DC after its two-week recess, and it's back to the continuing standoff on funding for the Department of Homeland Security. What can we expect from a legislative branch that was already struggling to get much done before a midterm election year?Plus we reflect on the meaning of the Artemis mission and whether it puts all our partisan battles in perspective. Producer: Leo DuranHost: David Greene Guests: Mike Dubke, veteran GOP communications strategist and advisor. He was the White House Comms Director under Donald Trump in 2017 - @MikeDubke Mo Elleithee, executive director at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service - @MoElleithee
Tommy and Ben try to make sense of a dark and dizzying day in American history, from President Trump's genocidal threat to destroy the 'whole civilization' of Iran, to the announcement of a two-week ceasefire.They break down what Trump's threats to bomb every power plant and bridge in Iran would actually mean — legally, morally, and for the 92 million Iranians who would be left without power, water, or functioning hospitals. They unpack a new New York Times report on how Trump decided to go to war, including Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's influential role in the push to war, the Mossad's catastrophically wrong assumptions about how Iran would respond, and which Cabinet officials were cut out of the deliberations entirely. They examine the domestic political fallout — including why Trump is getting none of the usual wartime polling boost — as well as Tucker Carlson's stunning break with his old friend over Iran, including Carlson's fear that the escalation ladder could lead Trump to using a nuclear weapon. They also walk through the diplomatic off-ramps that could bring a permanent end to the conflict. Finally, they turn to Hungary, where Viktor Orbán faces the most serious threat to his 16-year grip on power from challenger Péter Magyar, and where JD Vance showed up today to campaign for MAGA's favorite foreign strongman just five days before a potentially historic election.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Jessica Tarlov sits down with attorney and MeidasTouch host Katie Phang to break down Trump's latest escalation with Iran — his 8:00 P.M. deadline, threats to strike civilian infrastructure, and the very real question of whether this is brinkmanship... or something much worse. They talk through what happens next, whether there's any credible off-ramp, and how seriously to take Iran's reported 10-point peace proposal. Plus, Trump goes even further on NATO, Vice President JD Vance heads to Hungary to boost Viktor Orbán, and the MAGA reaction — from Tucker Carlson to Megyn Kelly — shows just how fractured the right is at this moment. Meanwhile, calls for the 25th Amendment are getting louder — and they're not just coming from Democrats. And finally, Katie and Jessica break down historian Timothy Snyder's theory about Trump's latest military budget... and why it might be an attempt at a coup.

1. Heroic Rescue of a Downed U.S. Pilot in Iran An American F‑15 was shot down deep inside Iranian territory. One pilot was captured quickly; the second evaded capture for nearly 48 hours while injured and hiding in mountainous terrain. The U.S. has conducted an extensive rescue mission involving: Hundreds of special operations forces CIA misinformation campaigns to mislead Iranian forces Armed drones, fighter aircraft, bombers, and helicopter extraction U.S. forces destroyed their own aircraft left behind to prevent Iranian access to sensitive technology. The mission is portrayed as extraordinarily complex, dangerous, and successful, surpassing past failed Iran rescue attempts (e.g., 1980 hostage rescue). 2. Strategic Value of “Leave No One Behind” The rescue is framed as proof of a defining U.S. military ethos: Lives of soldiers are valued over equipment. Overwhelming firepower is used to minimize U.S. casualties. Historical analogy to WWII: Americans conserve lives by expending machines. Emphasis on morale — troops fight harder knowing rescue will come no matter the cost. Stories of medics, chaplains, and rescue teams underline trust within U.S. forces. Core message: U.S. military effectiveness is rooted in certainty that help will arrive. 3. Praise for Presidential Leadership Donald Trump is credited with: Authorizing the rescue immediately Giving the military unrestricted authority (“do whatever it takes”) Restoring confidence among service members The discussion contrasts Trump positively with prior presidents (Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden), arguing they failed or hesitated in crisis moments. The rescue is used as evidence that strong executive decisiveness saves lives. 4. Warning to Iran Over the Strait of Hormuz Trump issues a public ultimatum via social media: Iran must open the Strait of Hormuz or face massive retaliation. Threats include: Destruction of power plants Destruction of bridges and infrastructure The tone is deliberately aggressive and meant to signal that the threat is not a bluff. 5. Intent to Cripple Iran’s Infrastructure, Not Occupy Discussion centers on targeting: Electricity generation Transportation/logistics networks Goal is to: Paralyze Iran’s military and economy Increase internal pressure on the ruling mullahs Encourage regime collapse through popular uprising 6. View of Iran’s Leadership Iranian rulers are: Theocratic Indifferent to civilian suffering Willing to sacrifice large numbers of citizens for ideological goals Skepticism is expressed over whether infrastructure destruction will deter them.

Episode 5276: Trump Threatens Mass Annihilation In Iran; Miraculous Rescue Mission For US Soldiers
President Trump issued some pretty ominous threats on Easter Sunday. In one Truth Social post, the president called on the "crazy bastards" to open the "f---ing" Strait of Hormuz. He later told ABC News that he was going to "blow up the whole country" at 8pm Tuesday. His words prompted one prominent senator to call on Trump's cabinet to remove him from office.

President Trump announced on social media that the U.S. military was able to successfully rescue that missing F-15 crew member from the “treacherous mountains of Iran.” Trump identified the airman as a highly respected colonel who was found injured, but safe. This all comes after Iran was able to shoot down a U.S. fighter jet on Friday, both crew members were able to eject and both now have been confirmed rescued by the U.S. Trump now telling Iran to open the “f’ing strait you crazy bastards.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
