Americans must fight a war on two fronts: against MAGA fascism and Democratic Party complacency. Wajahat Ali of the Left Hook on Substack and author of Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American joins Gaslit Nation to discuss how to actually build back better this time.  Donald Trump is America's karma of white supremacy, greed, and misogyny. But while the MAGA virus burns through our institutions, another danger is the "Big Club" in Washington, D.C. where Republicans and Democrats share the same donors, the same golf clubs, and the same refusal to tax the rich.  The DNC thinks they can waltz into power by not being Trump, but voters want a fighter and they want accountability. We are watching a righteous rage build across the globe, from the resistance in Ukraine and Hungary to vigilante violence here at home. When an Amazon worker drops dead and colleagues are told to work around the body, the status quo makes revolution by any means inevitable.  Ukrainians are fighting a war on two fronts: homegrown corruption and Kremlin fascism. We must see ourselves in the same fight. If the Democrats choose the James Carville "possum strategy" and refuse to face reality, they are simply clearing the deck for a more competent autocrat in 2032.  EVENTS AT GASLIT NATION: Gaslit Nation Salons take place Mondays 4pm ET over Zoom and are recorded and shared on Patreon.com/Gaslit for our community New!

The Biden presidency was an escalation in a way we haven’t seen before. The documents that are coming out about the Trump impeachment. The democrat slush fund that was Ukraine. They intend to do worse next time. The only lesson the communist learned.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 4-14-2026.1874 MONET1. US Economic Resilience Amid Global Conflict. Elizabeth Peek and John Batchelor discuss the surprisingly strong US economy despite Middle East instability. Consumer spending remains robust, wages are rising, and the Trump agenda of deregulation and tariffs is encouraging domestic investment.2. Russia and China's Strategic Calculations. Gregory Copley explains how Russia benefits from rising oil prices and expanded influence in Central Asia. Conversely, China fears regime collapse in Iran and seeks to diminish US global prestige during the conflict.3. The Risks of Puppet Government Models. John Batchelor and Gregory Copley critique the Trump administration's attempt to use Delcy Rodriguez as a model for Iran. They discuss how hardline leaders in Venezuela and Iran prioritize personal survival over national interests.4. King Charles III's Diplomatic Mission to Washington. Gregory Copley discusses King Charles III's upcoming visit to address Congress. The King aims to heal diplomatic rifts between Donald Trump and Keir Starmer, particularly regarding the Chagos Archipelago and Diego Garcia strategic nodes.5. Naval Challenges and Maritime Chokepoints. Grant Newsham asserts that the US Navy can successfully blockade the Strait of Hormuz and manage the Bab-el-Mandeb. He notes China and Russia are encouraging Iran to test American resolve through maritime provocations.6. The Resurgence and Failure of Industrial Policy. Veronique de Rugy criticizes the resurgence of industrial policy, noting past failures in Japan and China. She warns that World Bank recommendations for government-led industry protection often result in economic distortions and higher costs.7. Purges and Divisions within the Chinese Military. Piero Tozzi and Gordon Chang analyze Xi Jinping's recent military purges, including Zhang Youxia. These internal divisions and the removal of operational commanders may hinder China's ability to coordinate a successful invasion of Taiwan.8. Nuclear Deterrence and Battlefield Realities. Peter Huessy warns about the lack of nuclear education among modern policymakers. He discusses Russia's potential use of battlefield nuclear weapons in Ukraine to reverse military losses and Iran's acquisition of Russian missile technology.9.

The jungle primary system in California creates a risk for Democrats that two Republicans, like Steve Hilton, could face off in November.10. The Electoral Defeat of Viktor Orbán. Judy Dempsey explains how Peter Magyar defeated Viktor Orbán in Hungary by uniting a divided opposition. Hungarian voters rejected corruption and Russian interference, signaling a desire for rule of law and European integration.11. Populism and Energy Subsidies in Germany.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz faces pressure to address high energy costs and immigration while maintaining transatlantic relations.12. The Strategy of Economic Siege against Iran.

This strategy aims to deplete regime revenue by hundreds of millions daily through heightened sanctions.13. Escalation and Unprecedented Diplomacy in Lebanon.

Simultaneously, unprecedented direct talks between the Lebanese and Israeli governments are occurring at the US State Department.14. Dismantling Information Warfare in Hungary. Ivana Stradner celebrates Peter Magyar's victory over Viktor Orbán, emphasizing the need to dismantle the state-controlled media apparatus. She warns that Russia continues to use influence operations to support authoritarian leaders in Eastern Europe.15. Iran's Nuclear Ambitions and Fissile Material Extraction. Andrea Stricker outlines the challenge of extracting Iran's 60% enriched uranium from deeply buried sites like Fordo. She emphasizes that permanent peace requires the complete removal of fissile material and centrifuges to prevent breakout.16. Geopolitics of the Strait of Hormuz Blockade. Gregory Copley analyzes the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and its impact on global oil markets. He argues the US must ensure the Red Sea remains viable while managing pressure from Saudi Arabia.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: New reporting suggests internal infighting within Iran's leadership may have helped derail recent negotiations with the United States. Disagreements between diplomats and hardliners appear to have exposed deeper divisions inside Tehran at a time when the regime is already under increasing pressure. Despite weeks of strikes, a new U.S. intelligence assessment says Iran still has thousands of missiles and the ability to bring hidden launchers back online, underscoring the durability of its military threat. Israeli and Lebanese officials have begun rare direct talks even as fighting continues between the IDF and Hezbollah, highlighting the overlap of diplomacy and active conflict. Ukraine claims it successfully captured a Russian position using only drones and ground robots, marking a potential milestone in the evolution of warfare and the growing role of unmanned systems on the battlefield.

Today's Headlines: Israel and Lebanon held their first direct diplomatic talks in decades in Washington yesterday, hosted by Marco Rubio at the State Department. Hezbollah refused to participate and kept firing. A second round of U.S.-Iran negotiations could restart in Pakistan within days, according to Trump — who has never overpromised anything. The Trump administration eased sanctions on Venezuela the day after Chevron quietly struck an oil production deal there. And the administration formally informed Congress that Cuba has contributed up to 5,000 soldiers to Russia's war in Ukraine, which feels like the beginning of a regime change justification tour. Meanwhile, Pam Bondi skipped her congressional subpoena yesterday — the one requiring her to testify about her handling of the Epstein files. House Oversight Democrats threatened to charge her with contempt of Congress, punishable by up to a year in prison. A fourth accuser came forward against Eric Swalwell at a press conference, describing being drugged and raped at his hotel room in 2018. According to People magazine, over 30 women have made similar allegations. A 20-year-old Texas man was arrested after throwing an incendiary device at Sam Altman's San Francisco home, then attempting to attack OpenAI's headquarters with a chair while saying he wanted to "burn it down and kill anyone inside." He was carrying a document expressing views opposed to AI executives. Attempted murder and arson charges filed. A federal judge blocked Indiana's law banning student IDs at polling places, protecting an estimated 40,000 voters ahead of the May 5th midterm primary — ruling there's zero evidence student IDs have ever caused electoral confusion or fraud. A new long-term study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that drinking fluoridated water has no effect on IQ or brain function, which RFK Jr. will absolutely ignore.

Welcome back to the nightmare, comrades. In this feature-length episode, we take a brutal, unsparing look under the hood of the Russian Federation's terminal bureaucratic matrix. The dashboard warning lights have all blown out, the engine block is melting, and the elites are just hoping to finish their cold sandwich before the whole rusted-out car explodes.We dissect the catastrophic macroeconomic death spiral, the 4.6 trillion ruble deficit, and the macabre new “meat market” recruitment strategy that literally pays referral bounties for sending the elderly and terminally ill into the mud. We analyze the asymmetrical flip in the skies: Ukraine's 7-million drone pipeline and the autonomous “Martians,” matched only by the Russian Ministry of Defense's brilliant counter-strategy of putting a former toilet salesman in charge of their drone troops.Plus, we explore the terrifying biological caste system (KZhI vs. DZhI) inside the Russian army, the 80-billion-ruble Telegram blockade blinding the domestic population, and why Igor Strelkov is sitting in a penal colony comparing today to the eve of the 1917 revolution.

Today marks three years since the start of Sudan's civil war in which thousands are believed to have died and as many as 14 million have been forced to flee. Also, a new video game that's designed to help people get on H-1B visas to work in the US. And, Ukraine showcases its rapid advances in high-tech warfare, complete with unmanned robots.

WTF Wednesday. JD Vance Loves Putin. Gov Shapiro Bringing UFC to PA. Trump is NATO's Big Monster Red Ball. Plus: Celebrating Jackie Robinson Day.  On this "WTF Wednesday," Paul Rieckhoff is joined by the "Great and Powerful" Senator Angus King of Maine to pull back the curtain on a Senate in "total dereliction of duty." As the U.S. Navy deploys 41% of its entire fleet to enforce a blockade against Iran, King—the only true independent in the Senate—sounds the alarm on a war he calls "patently illegal." From the basement hideaway of the U.S. Capitol, King explains why the Biden-Trump era of "all gas, no brakes" foreign policy is crushing the global economy and why Congress has completely abdicated its constitutional responsibility to the American people. Beyond the front lines of the Middle East, we dive into the "Battle-Tested Ingenuity" of Ukraine and why the U.S. military must start learning from their real-time drone innovations. We also break down the rising independent movement in America, the collapse of small independent colleges, and the intersection of UFC culture and politics. To wrap up, we honor the legacy of Jackie Robinson on the anniversary of his MLB debut, reminding us that courage is contagious and independence is a path to victory. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Has Trump Jumped the Shark? MTG & Ro Khanna Talk About A Third Party. Reps Swalwell AND Gonzales Resign. Rock & Roll HOF. WNBA, NFL & Military Draft.  In this explosive episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff sits down with the great and powerful Michael Steele—former RNC Chairman and Lieutenant Governor of Maryland and cohost of MS NOW's The Weeknight airing weekdays at 7pm ET—for a raw, unfiltered debrief on the current state of the American duopoly. Steele doesn't hold back, detailing why he believes the Republican Party is currently racing toward a "fucking cliff" and what it actually takes to maintain integrity when your political home has abandoned its foundational principles. From his personal history as a fencer to his perspective as the first African American leader of the RNC, Steele provides a masterclass in political realism and the urgent need for a viable third-party movement in America. Beyond the political crossfire, this episode drills down into the critical national security stories the mainstream media is missing. We cover the escalating blockade in Iran being enforced by 10,000 U.S. service members, the "geopolitical victim-shaming" of Ukraine, and the stunning technological innovations of robotic warfare on the front lines. We also tackle the bizarre cultural moment—from Trump's "Jesus" posts to the Wu-Tang Clan's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's a high-octane mix of culture, security, and independent politics designed to help you slice through the noise and stay vigilant. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

In this consequential episode of John Solomon Reports, we dive deep into the explosive revelations surrounding the Ukraine impeachment saga that have been years in the making. John Solomon discusses a groundbreaking story that has captured the attention of lawmakers and intelligence officials alike, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe and former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. He uncovers the long-hidden biases of the whistleblower whose allegations against President Trump sparked a contentious impeachment process, revealing that this individual had direct ties to Joe Biden and a vested interest in the outcome of the Ukraine policy.As the episode unfolds, Solomon outlines the implications of these revelations, including potential avenues for President Trump to challenge the legitimacy of his impeachment. With insights from investigative reporter Jerry Dunleavy, listeners will gain a clearer understanding of the information that was withheld from Congress during the impeachment proceedings and why it matters now more than ever.In the second segment, former National Security Council Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz shares his outrage over the revelations and discusses the broader implications for national security and intelligence oversight.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 4-13-2026.1979 WOMEN PROEST IN TEHRAN The Brewing Blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. Bill Roggio discusses the potential US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following failed talks in Islamabad. US demands include opening the strait, ending nuclear programs, and stopping proxy attacks against Middle Eastern neighbors.2. The Resilience of Iranian Surrogates. Bill Roggio analyzes the continued strength of Iranian proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis. Despite military pressure, these groups remain active, with the Houthis potentially held in reserve to threaten critical global shipping lanes.3. The Internal Struggle of the Iranian People. JANATYN SAYEH discusses the regime's brutal internal crackdown, noting over a thousand executions in 2026. The Iranian people feel abandoned by the current ceasefire, fearing the regime will survive without significant systemic change.4. Identifying Iran's Hardline Five-Man Leadership. Jonathan Schanzer outlines Iran's core leadership, including Ghalibaf and Vahidi, who possess deep ties to internal repression and international terror. These veterans represent an institutional commitment to the revolution, making significant concessions unlikely.5. Holocaust Remembrance and the Iranian Ideology. Malcolm Hoenlein reflects on Yom HaShoah and rising global anti-Semitism. He discusses how Iran's radical ideology drives its leaders to claim victory despite heavy military losses, refusing to compromise on their nuclear and proxy ambitions.6. Regional Realignments and the Houthi Threat. Malcolm Hoenlein warns the Gulf States face extreme vulnerability as Iran threatens their infrastructure. The Houthis remain a strategic reserve capable of closing the Bab al-Mandeb, while Europe continues to marginalize itself by staying on the sidelines.7. Operation Roaring Lion and Strikes on Beirut. David Daoud details the IDF's Operation Eternal Darkness, which targeted 100 Hezbollah sites in under ten minutes. The strikes hit densely populated areas of Beirut, causing massive displacement and raising questions about tactical objectives.8. Hezbollah's Inseparable Link to the Iranian Regime. David Daoud explains that Hezbollah is an essential extension of Iran's regional power, not a disposable proxy. Iran will likely fight to preserve the group, as Hezbollah's survival is critical to its revolutionary goals.9. Peru's Shift to the Right. Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports on Peru's election, where right-wing candidates Kiko Fujimori and Rafael Lopez Aliaga are leading. This trend suggests a continental shift away from the pink tide and toward pro-Western governments.10. Political Stagnation and Repression in Venezuela. Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports that the Rodriguez brothers maintain control in Venezuela by focusing on economic compliance while delaying political transitions. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado faces threats of imprisonment, hindering hopes for free elections and a democratic transition.11. Escalation and Extortion in the Straits. Edmund Fitton-Brown discusses the US Navy's mission to counter Iranian extortion and clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's big-stick strategy aims for a deal but risks a resumption of war.12. Viktor Orbán's Defeat and the European Center. Edmund Fitton-Brown analyzes the ousting of Hungary's Viktor Orbán by Peter Magyar as a victory for traditional democracy. This shift removes a major obstacle to EU aid for Ukraine and disrupts Vladimir Putin's influence.13. Ukraine's Easter Standoff and Prisoner Exchanges. John Hardy reports on Russian ceasefire violations during Orthodox Easter and significant prisoner exchanges. The removal of Viktor Orbán in Hungary is expected to unblock vital EU financial loans for the Ukrainian government.14. Iraqi Militias as Iran's Strategic Reserve. Ahmed Sharari discusses how Iraqi militias are fundraising to support Iran and Hezbollah. These groups serve as a strategic reserve for the Iranian regime, demonstrating their readiness to sacrifice resources for the revolution.15. Canada's Pivot Toward China. Conrad Black analyzes Prime Minister Mark Carney's efforts to strengthen trade with China amidst shifting relations with the US. While resource-rich Canada seeks new markets, political mistrust of China's undemocratic regime remains high.16. The Russian Mob and Political Kompromat. Craig Unger explores Viktor Orbán's long-standing ties to the Russian mafia and the FSB. He argues that both Orbán and Donald Trump have functioned as assets for Russian intelligence due to financial entanglements.

13. Ukraine's Easter Standoff and Prisoner Exchanges. John Hardie reports on Russian ceasefire violations during Orthodox Easter and significant prisoner exchanges. The removal of Viktor Orbán in Hungary is expected to unblock vital EU financial loans for the Ukrainian government.1900 Brussels

Day 1,510.Today, as new evidence emerges that Russia is increasing sign-on bonuses to recruit more soldiers for its war in Ukraine, we report on efforts to ramp up defences around Vladimir Putin's palace. We also examine dramatic political developments in Hungary, where the new prime minister has vowed to expose alleged Russian links – amid reports of document shredding by allies of former leader Viktor Orbán. And later, we speak to a former CIA operative about Russian disinformation tactics, the failures of Kremlin intelligence services, and what they have learned – and not learned – from the war.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to former CIA operative Sean M.

Today, we return to the European energy markets, in particular power. How has European power demand fared since COVID and Russia's invasion of Ukraine? What has that done to power markets themselves and the energy mix? And just as European power demand was starting to pick backup, has Israel and the US's attack on Iran upended it? And what has all this volatility meant for power traders and European energy traders more broadly? Our guest is Xavier Veillard, Partner at McKinsey in part of their global energy practice and their lead for power trading.  For related content and to find out more about HC Group, a search firm dedicated to the energy & commodities sector, visit https://www.hcgroup.global

“It was three submarines. We tracked them 24/7 for over a month to make sure that we are able to say to Putin, we see what you're doing, we're watching you. It means that if there is ever any damage to our cables or our pipelines, we know we can hold Putin to account. We know he can't deny it.” Adam Fleming speaks to John Healey, the UK Defence Secretary, after he revealed Russian submarines have been carrying out covert operations over the UK's deep-sea cables and pipelines, critical to energy and internet traffic. He says the activity could form part of a wider strategy to map infrastructure in peacetime, and target it during conflict. While global attention is focused on the Middle East, he argues Britain cannot be distracted from what he calls its “primary threat”, and that the UK and its Nato allies must remain on constant alert to Russian activity.

Von Entlastung und Belastung - unterschiedliche Reaktionen auch in der Koalition darauf, wie die Bundesregierung die Energiekrise abfedern will. Im Abwehrkampf gegen Russland - Deutschland und Ukraine wollen Zusammenarbeit ausbauen. Gesprächsauftakt in Washington - erstmals seit Jahrzehnten verhandeln israelische und libanesische Vertreter direkt miteinander. Moderation:Tobi Strauß. Von WDR 5.

Wir beginnen die heutige Folge mit einem ungewöhnlichen Schlagabtausch: US-Präsident Donald Trump gegen Papst Leo XIV. – politische Härte und Unberechenbarkeit treffen auf moralische Autorität. Während der Pontifex den Krieg in Nahost und indirekt auch seinen Landsmann scharf kritisiert, reagiert Trump mit demonstrativer Verachtung. Und das, obwohl er die Unterstützung der christlichen Wähler bei den Kongresswahlen im kommenden Herbst doch so dringend benötigt. Stefan Niemann und Kai Küstner analysieren außerdem die Lage an der Straße von Hormus, die sich mehr und mehr zum neuralgischen Punkt der globalen Machtpolitik entwickelt: Die USA reagieren auf Teherans Vorgehen an der Meerenge mit einer eigenen Blockade-Strategie, die gezielt die iranischen Häfen und das Ölgeschäft treffen soll - der Beginn einer neuen Eskalationsspirale oder der Versuch, doch noch Bewegung in festgefahrene Verhandlungen zu bringen? Darüber spricht Stefan Niemann im Interview mit dem Politikwissenschaftler Carlo Masala, der gleichermaßen einschätzt, ob etwa NATO-Staaten wie Deutschland in die riskante Strategie der US-Amerikaner hineingezogen werden könnten. Seine Prognose: Kein einziges Mitgliedsland wird sich an einer Operation in der Straße von Hormus beteiligen. Im Ukraine-Krieg liegt eine Verhandlungslösung in sehr weiter Ferne. Die angekündigte Feuerpause über Ostern war allenfalls eine teilweise Waffenruhe. Interessant ist jedoch, dass Analysten in letzter Zeit die militärische Lage der Ukraine deutlich optimistischer sehen als noch vor ein paar Wochen. Was vor allem an Technologie-Sprüngen auf Seiten der Ukraine liegt – und obwohl der hohe Ölpreis Putin hilft. Die Hosts blicken außerdem auf den Machtwechsel in Ungarn und die potenziellen Folgen für die Ukraine und diskutieren die europäischen Rüstungskooperationen. Der von französischen Medien berichtete Ausstieg Frankreichs aus dem Eurodrohnen-Projekt stellt nicht nur Zeitpläne und Kosten infrage, sondern wirft ein Licht auf den grundsätzlichen Zustand gemeinsamer Verteidigungsinitiativen.

This episode explores the surprising Ukrainian origins and remarkable cultural journey of Hava Nagila, one of the most recognizable songs in the world. The story begins with the melody itself — a nigun, a wordless Hassidic prayer tune sung since the mid‑1800s — which originated in a shtetl in Ukraine before becoming a global Jewish folk standard.The episode traces Pawlina's personal connection to Hava Nagila, from early encounters on television to the enduring emotional resonance the melody continues to hold. A chance conversation in Lviv with a Ukrainian man who identified as a born‑again Hassidic Jew sparked deeper curiosity about the song's Ukrainian roots and led to further research.That search culminated in discovering Hava Nagila: The Movie, a documentary by award‑winning American filmmaker Roberta Grossman. The film investigates the song's beginnings in Sadagora, Bukovina, where Grossman interviewed Ukrainian‑speaking locals, searched for traces of the Jewish community, and visited the ruins of a once‑great synagogue connected to the melody's origins. The documentary then follows the song's path to Palestine, where its lyrics were written, and through the upheavals of the world wars, the Holocaust, and the evolving identity of the Jewish people.Featuring interviews with cultural figures including Harry Belafonte, Connie Francis, Glen Campbell, and Leonard Nimoy, the film presents the song's spiritual and cultural layers with humor and depth. It also highlights the song's modern presence, from global pop culture to contemporary performances across Ukraine.Many of these performances can be found on YouTube, along with links on the Nash Holos website to additional videos and to places where Hava Nagila: The Movie can be purchased or rented.

Deutschland und die Ukraine setzen verstärkt darauf, gemeinsam Drohen-Systeme zu entwickeln. Das hat Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz bei den ersten Regierungskonsultationen beider Länder seit mehr als 20 Jahren bekannt gegeben. Die Entwicklung der Waffensysteme sei nicht nur für die Ukraine wichtig, sondern schaffe auch ein höheres Maß an Unabhängigkeit für Europa, so Merz. Auch in anderen Bereichen, wie der Luftabwehr und dem Wiederaufbau, wollen beide Seiten enger zusammenarbeiten. Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj rief die EU-Staaten bei seinem Besuch in Berlin auf, den bisher von Ungarn blockierten 90-Milliarden-Euro-Kredit freizugeben.

While the global food system has largely adjusted to the disruptions in agricultural commodities and fertilizers following the invasion of Ukraine, the new conflict in the Middle East introduces a new set of challenges at a time when markets and supply chains remain vulnerable to geopolitical shocks. Disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant share of the world's oil and natural gas, as well as fertilizers, transit. Concerns about potential impacts on production sites in the region have added to the uncertainty. These developments have implications for countries heavily reliant on Gulf producers for oil, gas, and fertilizers, as well as for food-import dependent economies in the Gulf, should agricultural shipments to the region face prolonged delays. While the immediate effects on trade flows and prices are still unfolding, higher energy and fertilizer costs can influence agricultural production decisions and, over time, shape food security outcomes. Understanding these dynamics early is important for anticipating where pressures may emerge and how they may interact with existing vulnerabilities. As global food systems become increasingly exposed to conflict-related and geopolitical risks, timely analysis is essential for informing both rapid response and longer-term resilience efforts. Clear insights into potential stress points and market adjustments can help governments, value chain actors, development partners, and humanitarian organizations prepare and respond effectively. The event will feature: Presentations from IFPRI experts, who will provide an up‑to‑date assessment of these developments and discuss their implications for vulnerable low‑ and middle‑income countries. A second panel of senior representatives from governments, international organizations, and the private sector, who will reflect on how they are addressing the immediate effects of the crisis and share perspectives on priorities for strengthening resilience and improving risk management strategies going forward. An opportunity for questions, comments, and discussion.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Ukraine's masterful use of autonomous and uncrewed systems have demonstrated the need for a structural rethink about how Australia and its partners build and deliver contemporary naval power. Iran and Ukraine have successfully demonstrated, to varying degrees, the shift currently transforming contemporary naval warfare, raising questions about the future of modern naval power. In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight series, host Steve Kuper is joined by Leidos Australia's Kevin "Q" Quarderer and Major General (Ret'd) Mick Ryan as they deep dive into the fallout of the conflict in the Middle East and the lessons Australia can learn from the conflict. The trio unpack the successful USV raids conducted by Ukraine against the Russian Black Sea Fleet and the importance of investing in these emerging capabilities as a powerful, adaptable and attritable force multiplier that can be delivered at speed and scale. They also discuss the evolution of contemporary naval force design and the hybridisation of crewed and uncrewed forces as a means of offsetting adversarial advantages, including how nuclear-powered submarines, partnering with the autonomous and uncrewed systems, will shape the future of the Australian Navy. Finally, they interrogate the shortfalls to date and Australia's policy towards the acceptance, fielding and training with uncrewed and autonomous systems and moving away from a risk-averse approach to changing with the times and why that needs to change.

To those who could not join our launch party for Mrs. Orwell tonight, we've made you a play list from the event. It opens with a British Pathé newsreel of what to do in an air raid; Edward R. Murrow reporting from London on the Blitz; a popular war-time show "Gert & Daisy";  Flanagan and Allen's "Run Rabbit Run," and "Ay Carmela!" one of the most popular songs of the Spanish Civil War, which Eileen and Eric Blair would have heard throughout their time in Spain. We're going to play this audio at the start of tonight's event, to connect the global war of fascism vs. democracy back then to today, as Ukraine faces the same daily bombardment as Europe did under Hitler.     

Gaslit Nation presents an Instagram Live discussion recorded over the weekend with the acclaimed illustrator Brahm Revel, the artist of Mrs. Orwell. Brahm is based in Barcelona, where Eileen and Eric Blair (aka George Orwell), spent their honeymoon fighting fascists in the Spanish Civil War. Eileen was holed up in the Hotel Continental, which still exists, where Stalin's agents searched her hotel room, stealing Orwell's Spain diaries and other papers, which are believed to be somewhere in Moscow to this day. We're celebrating freedom fighters, past and present, tonight at Powerhouse Arena in DUMBO, Brooklyn at 7pm ET, for the launch of Mrs. Orwell. Patreon supporters get in free! Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman will be there, and so will the good folks of Razom for Ukraine and the Media and Democracy Project, co-sponsors of the event, because the Orwells would have been fans. So come and get a Mrs. Orwell tote bag, meet other Gaslit Nation listeners, and celebrate the defeat of Orban, MAGA, and the Kremlin in Hungary.  Enjoy this conversation with Brahm about the creative process that went into the making of Mrs. Orwell and why the story matters for us today, in an age that needs our own creativity and defiance.

Hungaryian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, an ally of President Trump, was ousted from office in yesterday’s election. The Economist looks at the results. U.S. Central Command said it will impose a blockade at the Strait of Hormuz after weekend negotiations with Iran failed to produce a deal. Phil Stewart of Reuters joins to discuss where talks could go next. Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell quit his campaign to be California governor after allegations of sexual assault. Alexei Koseff of the San Francisco Chronicle breaks them down. Plus, Ukraine and Russia accused each other of breaching a brief Easter ceasefire, President Trump unveiled plans for a massive arch in Washington, and the Masters has its first back-to-back champion in more than two decades. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.

The political world was stunned this week by Melania Trump's sudden, unexplained televised address denying any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and calling for a congressional hearing for Epstein survivors—a move that reportedly blindsided the West Wing. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger connect the event to Trump's longtime associate Paolo Zampoli (a friend of Epstein who allegedly introduced Trump to Melania), whose ex-partner Amanda Ungaro—an Epstein survivor deported after a custody dispute—is now publicly threatening to "tear down the entire system" and expose everything.  Jimmy notes that a 2019 FBI document already stated Epstein introduced Trump to Melania, contradicting her claims, and that Ungaro's threats may have forced Melania's hand. He suggests the real story involves Melania being trafficked from Ukraine through Epstein's modeling network and sold to Trump, and that this blackmail material may be why Trump launched the Iran war to cover up the Epstein files. Plus segments on Trump's unhinged rant against former supporters like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, and Democratic senators Chris Murphy and Chuck Schumer lamenting the end of the war with Iran. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Max Blumenthal!

LONDINIUM CHRONICLES. 3.  Gaius and Germanicus explore the 14th-century BC Amarna letters to illustrate the timeless, manipulative nature of imperial diplomacy. These clay tablets record correspondence between Egyptian Pharaohs and their Canaanite vassal kings. The letters reveal a persistent pattern where weak clients would "whine" and act helpless to demand gold, horses, and soldiers from the Pharaoh. They successfully utilized "negative leverage," threatening to defect to the rival Hittite kingdom if their specific demands were not met. (5)The speakers apply this ancient "light motif" to modern relations, noting that client states like Israel and Ukraine are currently very aggressive in leveraging the United States for resources. These vassals have awakened to a strategic truth: the patron often needs the stability of the client's territory more than the client needs the patron, granting the smaller state outsized influence. Germanicus posits that the health of an empire is measured specifically by its ability to effectively "tamp down" or manage these demanding client states. Currently, the U.S. is viewed as weak because it has been "sucked into" strategic liabilities and allowed vassals to "twist its arm," resulting in a significant loss of world authority. This historical parallel highlights that imperial power is rarely about direct colonial control and more about the complex, often manipulative relationship between patron and client. The conversation ends with a critique of the modern emperor's tendency to "double down" on failing strategies. (6)1849

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: President Trump suspends traffic through the Strait of Hormuz after marathon negotiations with Iran collapse in Pakistan, raising the risk of further escalation in the conflict. New U.S. intelligence suggests China may have already armed Iran with anti-aircraft missiles, potentially putting American pilots at risk. Plus, an Easter ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia quickly falls apart, with both sides reporting thousands of violations.

Day 1,509.Today, as Ukraine and the wider world react to the apparent rejection of Viktor Orbán's model of “illiberal democracy” in Hungary, we ask: who is Péter Magyar, and what does his rise mean for Hungarian politics and Europe? As Hungarians confront a potential new political era, we examine whether real change is coming in Budapest – and how the European Union will handle the unresolved вопрос of the €90 billion loan for Ukraine. We also assess how much fighting actually paused during the Orthodox Easter ceasefire in Russia's war against Ukraine, and ask whether Vladimir Putin is ultimately a winner or loser from the recent global attacks on oil infrastructure.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.James Crisp (Europe Editor). @JamesCrisp6 on X.NOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Real Time with Bill Maher Recap.  President Trump has escalated his rhetoric to a global scale, launching a stunning series of attacks against Pope Leo, labeling the religious leader "weak on crime" and "terrible for foreign policy." As the 2026 political landscape grows increasingly volatile, host Paul Rieckhoff breaks down why these attacks are driving a historic exodus of Catholic Republicans from the party and why the Pope may be the ultimate "Independent American." But the rhetoric isn't the only thing heating up; following the collapse of peace negotiations, Trump has announced a naval blockade on Iran. Rieckhoff, a combat veteran, explains why this move is an undeniable act of war under international law and issues a blistering call for Congress to end its "dereliction of duty" by holding a formal vote on the conflict. This episode also explores a massive shift in the global fight for democracy as Viktor Orbán and authoritarianism suffer a major defeat in Hungary—a development that could be the "tipping point" for Ukraine's survival. From the rising conversation surrounding a national draft being discussed at Coachella to the "monocultural moment" of the Artemis II moon landing, we're cutting through the partisan heat to bring you the light. Plus, a look at the latest Democratic stumbles, including the Eric Swalwell scandal and Kamala Harris's potential 2028 maneuvers.

Patrick confronts the tornado swirling around Donald Trump’s public attack against Pope Leo, pressures listeners to declare their true loyalty, and stirs a cauldron of reactions around faith and politics colliding. Callers erupt, some wounded, others defiant, filling the air with anguish over diplomacy, the Pope’s peace pleas, and the blurred lines where Catholic identity fuses with partisan fervor. Questions ricochet, loyalties fracture, and the Rorschach test of belief shatters comfortable silence. Camilla - I am a little sad by what I am hearing from the callers. People are not acknowledging what they are seeing. How can people who are Catholic choose the world over God? (02:03) Sharon - President Trump and the Pope: I am so glad people are calling knowing what Trump is like. Trump thinks he is above everyone. (07:56) Bob - Your conversation is one-sided. I wouldn’t defend the President, but Pope Leo made the first salvo. (10:41) Dennis (email) – There are powerful people behind the scenes who are gleeful that Trump’s words may lead to a fracturing of his own support. (21:32) Kyle (email) - Trump has lost my support, but not my vote. John – (email) - President Trump has been in politics since 2015 and it sad to continue hearing how ill-informed the public continues to be about who he is and how he operates. Grace - It seems to me that Pope Leo started this 'War' against Trump. I am not hearing him going after Russian Orthodox and War in Ukraine. How about Canada and euthanasia? (27:38) Laurie - People need to acknowledge that Iran killed 50,000 of its own people. (35:15) Chris - You are not being fair about framing this issue. The Pope should stay in his lane. (38:49) Joseph - I commend how you are handling this. As Catholics, should we continue to enter into this political debate? Pope Leo has tried very hard to respect dignity of others, including Trump.

Tonight—explosive political claims shaking Washington again. From renewed scrutiny on Rep. Eric Swalwell, to fresh attacks on former Rep. Adam Schiff, to resurfacing arguments over the Russia collusion narrative involving former CIA official John Brennan… What's real, what's rhetoric, and what's just political theater? And why are these old political wounds being reopened right now?

In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael sits down with Vlad to unpack a long, disciplined path to financial freedom built on consistency, risk management, and mindset rather than hype or shortcuts. Vlad shares his journey from immigrating to the United States from Ukraine in 1989 to rising into a senior role at a Fortune 500 company. While professionally successful, the cost was significant stress and declining health. Over the years, Vlad explored multiple entrepreneurial paths including trading systems, bots, real estate, and even operating a sandwich shop. None delivered sustainable freedom on their own. What ultimately worked was a 15-year process of building a repeatable income system alongside his full-time job. Vlad explains how this approach created optionality rather than pressure, allowing him to achieve financial independence without needing to immediately exit corporate life. Michael highlights the leadership discipline required to play a long game rather than chase fast wins. The conversation dives into Vlad's low-risk trading philosophy, centered on selling strategies designed for predictability rather than market timing. With clearly defined downside protection and a focus on compounding, Vlad explains why consistency matters more than aggressive returns. Michael reinforces this perspective by referencing long-term investing principles often associated with Warren Buffett, emphasizing patience, clarity, and emotional control. They also explore the psychology of trading and leadership, including the dangers of impulsive decisions, the importance of due diligence, and why any income strategy must align with an individual's work ethic and lifestyle. As AI-driven disruption increases job insecurity, Michael frames alternative income streams as a leadership responsibility rather than a side hustle. The episode closes with a discussion on economic diversification and personal resilience. Vlad extends a special offer to Breakfast Leadership Network listeners, providing free access to his community and strategy program, along with mentorship support to help professionals build sustainable income systems without excessive risk. https://www.instagram.com/vladswingtrader https://www.youtube.com/@vladswingtrader%E2%81%A9
