New York Times journalist James Reston once quipped that "This is the devilish thing about foreign affairs: they are foreign and will not always conform to our whim."  Never have those words been truer than now.The world is a very dangerous place at the moment. We are still engaged in Iran, with little sign of things improving. China looms large in Asia, though we have abruptly stopped engaging with regional ally South Korea on military drills. The Ukraine/Russia war continues to rage, all while America's defensive capabilities are under increased scrutiny.It's a lot to take in, but we think we have just the guy to break it down. Bob Peters is the Director for the Heritage Foundation's Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for National Security. He's here to walk us through the dire threats facing the nation from abroad.

Welcome to the Energy Newsbeat, where host Stu Turley breaks down the ten most critical energy stories shaping global markets and infrastructure. In this episode, we explore a landscape marked by unprecedented challenges and opportunities: from the alarming vulnerability of the U.S. power grid to coordinated cyberattacks, to Iraq's aggressive push to double oil production and reshape Middle Eastern energy politics. As geopolitical tensions escalate—with Ukraine striking Russian refineries and the U.S. tightening sanctions on Iran—the global energy market faces historic supply constraints, record-high refining margins, and tanker costs that are reshaping fuel prices worldwide. Meanwhile, the explosive growth of AI data centers is creating a power demand crisis that threatens to overwhelm manufacturing capacity for years to come. This episode examines how these interconnected forces—from grid security and sanctions effectiveness to renewable energy policy and oil market dynamics—are fundamentally transforming the energy landscape and what it means for consumers, investors, and national security.1. U.S. Grid Vulnerability & Blackout RiskThe host discusses the critical vulnerability of the U.S. power grid to coordinated attacks on substations. Former FERC chairman John Wellinghoff warned that targeting just nine key substations could cause an 18-month nationwide blackout, potentially affecting millions. The episode emphasizes the importance of backup power systems and preparedness.2. Iraq's Oil Production Expansion & OPEC DynamicsIraq is aggressively pursuing plans to double its oil production capacity to 8-10 million barrels per day, with major oil companies (Chevron, Exxon, BP) securing new contracts. The discussion explores whether OPEC will allow this expansion and how Iraq is building export routes through Turkey to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.3. Sanctions on Iran & Their EffectivenessThe episode covers U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessen's sanctions strategy against Iran, examining whether sanctions are effectively constraining Iran's oil exports. Evidence shows Iran's exports have collapsed from 1.8-2.1 million barrels per day to near zero, though Iran is finding workarounds using land-based truck transport.4. Drone Threats to Oil InfrastructureThe UAE has installed massive metal cage structures over oil storage tanks in Abu Dhabi for anti-drone protection—a response to increasing drone strikes on energy infrastructure in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. This reflects how modern warfare is changing energy security.5. Ukraine's Strikes on Russian RefineriesUkraine has successfully struck major Russian refineries, including the Lukoil refinery in Perm, degrading Russia's refining capacity and military fuel supply. This has significant global oil market implications.6. Diesel Supply Shortages & Crack SpreadsHedge funds are reducing bearish bets on European diesel, signaling expected fuel supply shortages. U.S. crack spreads (the profit margin for refining) have hit record highs at $102 per barrel, driven by tight inventories and high tanker costs—not refinery gouging.7. AI Data Center Power Demand CrisisGE Vernova's gas turbine backlog has hit 116 gigawatts with delivery delays until 2031. The episode explores how AI data centers' massive power appetite is creating a manufacturing bottleneck, forcing companies to "bring your own power" (BYOP) solutions.8. Floating Offshore Wind Farms in BritainThe UK is moving to expensive floating offshore wind farms with 200 new turbines and 300-400 kilometers of cables. The host argues this approach will increase energy costs and require natural gas backup, contradicting net-zero goals.9. Winter Gasoline Waiver & Ethanol PolicyThe Trump administration issued an emergency waiver allowing early transition to winter-grade gasoline to help curb prices. The host advocates for eliminating ethanol mandates, arguing it wastes energy and increases consumer costs.10. Venezuela Oil Rig RestartSchlumberger (SLB) is preparing to restart 15 idle oil rigs in Venezuela to ease drilling bottlenecks, though Venezuela faces energy constraints that complicate operations.Overarching Theme: The podcast emphasizes that global energy markets are tight, oil and gas remain essential long-term, and geopolitical factors (sanctions, conflicts, infrastructure attacks) are reshaping energy supply chains and prices.1.What if 9 Substations were Targeted on the US Grid? Would Jon Wellinghoff's Prediction of an 18-Month US Grid Blackout Happen?2.Will Iraq leave OPEC, or will OPEC allow Iraq to double exports within six years?3.Will Choking Iran's Economy End the War, or Are They Too Resilient?4.UAE Cageing Up Their Oil Storage for Anti-Drone Protection5.Ukraine Hits Lukoil Refinery. How Degraded is the Russian Refinery Capacity?6.Hedge Funds Cut Bearish Bets on European Diesel to Two-Year Low7.GE Vernova's Gas Turbine Backlog Hits 116 GW.

When geopolitical chaos erupts—Iranian tankers in the dark fleet, Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, Russian refineries under fire—oil prices should skyrocket. Yet here we are in August 2024 with WTI crude at just $83 a barrel, and the market hasn't collapsed. Why? Because the U.S. is producing nearly 14 million barrels a day, pipelines are bypassing chokepoints, and refineries are running flat out. But there's a catch. In this episode of the Energy Impact Podcast, Trisha Curtis—CEO of PetroNode, Chief Economist of the American Energy Institute, and Senior Consultant at the U.S. Department of Energy—joins David Blackmon and Stu Turley to break down the real story behind oil markets. They debate whether prices reflect reality, expose the refining capacity crisis that's keeping gas prices high, and challenge the media narratives that get it wrong.From China's strategic stockpiling to Iran's fading leverage to why the oil industry desperately needs better PR, this conversation separates market hype from hard data—and reveals what's really at stake for American energy security.Connect with Trisha Curtis at https://www.linkedin.com/in/trisha-curtis-petronerds/ or  @petronerds633  on YouTubeThis is also going out on David Blackmon's podcast, Energy Impacts.Connect with David on his LinkedIn here https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-blackmon-2325189/1. U.S. Oil Production & Global Market DominanceThe hosts emphasize that the U.S. produces nearly 14 million barrels per day, making it the world's largest oil producer. This production level hasn't received adequate attention in media coverage, despite its significant geopolitical and economic implications. The Permian Basin, particularly in Texas and New Mexico, is driving record output growth.2. Oil Market Resilience During Geopolitical DisruptionsDespite major disruptions—including attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea blockades by Houthis, and the Ukraine-Russia conflict—the oil market has adapted remarkably well. The hosts credit market forces, refinery efficiency, and alternative supply routes (like the East-West Pipeline) for preventing catastrophic price spikes that many predicted.3. Current Oil Pricing ($83/barrel WTI)The discussion explores why oil prices have remained relatively moderate despite geopolitical chaos. They debate whether prices reflect reality, with consideration for tanker insurance costs, physical delivery premiums, and crack spreads (refinery profit margins).4. Refining Capacity CrisisA critical issue: the U.S. has 128 operating refineries with an average age of 75-80 years, and only one new refinery (Brownsville) is coming online by 2027. California is losing refining capacity (6 of 7 refineries slated to close), which will have serious economic consequences. Refining capacity is the key bottleneck limiting gasoline and diesel price relief.5. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) & ExportsThe hosts discuss the SPR release strategy and defend continued crude oil and refined product exports as essential to global energy security. They emphasize that allowing exports supports the market and benefits U.S. energy interests.6. China's Energy Strategy & StockpilingChina has significantly reduced oil imports (down 5 million barrels/day) and is drawing on massive strategic reserves. The hosts suggest China is using this period as a "test run" for potential future blockades (like closing the Strait of Malacca during a Taiwan conflict).7. Middle East Geopolitical ComplexityThe discussion covers Iran's leverage (tanker fleet, strait control), OPEC's fragmentation (UAE's departure), Iraq's alignment with Iran, and the role of alternative pipelines reducing dependence on the Strait of Hormuz.8. Turkey, Pakistan & Regional MediationThe hosts highlight emerging geopolitical tensions involving Turkey and Pakistan as mediators, with concerns about extremism funding and the potential for regional escalation.9. Industry Communication & LeadershipThe hosts criticize the oil and gas industry for poor public relations and not taking credit for market stability and affordable energy. They call for better industry leadership and advocacy.This podcast presents a nuanced view of global energy markets, emphasizing market adaptation, U.S. strategic advantages, and the critical importance of refining infrastructure and policy decisions around exports and reserves.Check out the Energy News Beat Substack at https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/Check out David Blackmon's Substack at https://blackmon.substack.com/

Intensifying clashes between Ukraine and Russia in the Black Sea are threatening a crucial trade artery responsible for nearly a third of the world's wheat supply, stoking fears of soaring prices and shortages. Earlier in July, a Russian cruise missile struck the grain carrier Golden Leo, claiming ten lives. This marked the deadliest blow yet in a mounting campaign by both Russian and Ukrainian forces targeting cargo ships in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. "This is a new development in recent months," claims shipping analyst Yoruk Isik, who runs the Istanbul-based Bosphorus Observer consultancy. Isik warns that cargo vessels are caught in a deadly tit-for-tat. "Ukraine has been targeting Russian seaborne bulkers in particular, the ones transporting stolen grain from the occupied territories of Ukraine," explains Isik, "Russia retaliated and hit Ukraine's civilian port infrastructure in Odesa; a mid-sized vessel carrying corn out of Odesa was totally sunk, other vessels were damaged, and sailors died," he adds. Turkey's Shipowners' Association, having logged 136 incidents involving commercial vessels in recent months, is now urging its members to avoid the Black Sea altogether. Beyond its role as a key channel for Russian oil, the Black Sea is a lifeline for global grain exports, with Russia and Ukraine among the top suppliers. "It is very important to note that most of Russia's agricultural commodities are exported through the Black Sea, and that almost all of Ukraine's agricultural commodities are shipped via Ukraine's ports," warns Isik. Bad timing for harvest  Around a third of the world's wheat moves through these waters. The surge in attacks across the Black Sea and the neighbouring Sea of Azov has brought exports to a near standstill. "No port is officially closed, but almost no shipowner wants to go there, so trade is close to zero," claims Istanbul-based international grain dealer Can Atbasoglu. "Sellers want buyers to handle the vessels, and buyers want sellers to handle the vessels, but shipowners don't want to risk it." This deadlock arrives at the worst possible moment: harvest time. "Normally, Russian sellers would have sold all their August cargoes by now; I don't know if anybody has any sales on their books at present," says Atbasoglu. Turkey agrees deal to clear Black Sea of mines that threaten Ukrainian exports Wheat prices are already reacting. "The price in Romania is, say, 20-25 percent higher – that's the clearest effect we're seeing. But everybody is waiting for some kind of intervention, and soon," adds Atbasoglu. Turkey now leads a NATO mission, along with Bulgaria and Romania, to safeguard navigation in the Black Sea. However, former Turkish ambassador and navigation rights expert Mithat Rende believes Ankara will be wary of any effort to enforce passage for commercial ships. "It's very important that the Ukrainian war should not be transformed into a regional war," cautions Rende. "Where would it stop? Would you fire missiles and intercept Russian missiles in the Black Sea? They (Russia) already accuse all of us of fighting Russia as NATO. It's very important to avoid such operations," he adds. Full impact yet to be felt Rende argues Ankara's priority is diplomacy, having played a pivotal role in brokering the 2022 United Nations-backed grain export deal after Russian forces blocked Ukrainian shipments. "Turkey maintained a dialogue with both the Russian and the Ukrainian sides at the same time," says Rende, "But is there political will for a ceasefire now? I don't see it at present." Grain trader Atbasoglu warns the full impact of the disruption is not yet reflected in prices. "Buyers are still not fully reacting. It's seen more as an August, or at the latest a September issue, and the markets still want to believe both sides will get together and talk," he says. However, Atbasoglu cautions that time may be running out. "In 2022, Ukraine was completely closed off, and there was a major panic. We saw the effect: wheat prices jumped 50 percent in 2022, and we could expect something similar if this continues," he concludes. Africa and the Middle East, which are heavily reliant on Black Sea grain, are beginning to seek pricier alternatives. Europe, too, may soon feel the strain, as drought-hit wheat harvests threaten to push global food prices even higher.

Send us Fan MailDawn hangings in a city square are not just a headline, they are a message of fear. We talk through what's happening in Iran right now, why public executions are used to silence protest, and why it matters for anyone who cares about human rights, religious persecution, and the reality on the ground under the IRGC. We also remember something the news often misses: believers in Iran exist, they love Jesus, and many have suffered deeply for years. From there, we zoom out to the bigger questions people are asking in private: Can the regime be overthrown? Will freedom return? Are global conflicts like the Ukraine Russia war and rising tension in the Middle East setting the stage for something larger? We connect those questions to Bible prophecy, especially Ezekiel 38 to 39 where Persia is named, and we ground the conversation in the conviction that God is not absent from history. Jeremiah 1:12 reminds us that the Lord watches over his word to perform it, even when the world looks like it is spinning into lawlessness. Then we get practical. When fear rises, do we hide, obsess, or try to build a personal bunker? Or do we open the Word of God and let faith be rebuilt from the inside out? We read from Psalm 103 and focus on God's compassion, justice for the oppressed, and mercy that reaches farther than our shame. We end with a clear challenge: pray for Iran, stay aware, and carry the message of reconciliation to people outside the church walls.

A retired Major General says one-way military strike drones would rapidly modernise the nation's military. The Government is looking into buying the drones - that are operated by humans and used to drop explosives on a target. They're massively cheaper than missiles. New Zealand Initiative Senior Fellow John Howard says the technology's been used for half a decade now in the Ukraine-Russia war. "We've seen drone technology mature rapidly because of that crisis - in Eastern Europe and in the Middle East. For the Defence Force of today, this is promising for not just what we should aspire to do, but how we protect our national interests."

Speaking from the NATO summit in Ankara, Nick Fishwick assesses the alliance's most urgent challenges, from Europe's push to increase defense spending to the need for greater intelligence sharing and military interoperability. He explains why a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine remains unlikely, what NATO is learning from Ukraine's battlefield innovation, and why Russia continues to represent the alliance's principal security threat. Fishwick also discusses the diminishing focus on Greenland as the war with Iran reshapes U.S. priorities.

John Franklin returns to The Cosmic Switchboard to discuss Robotics, A.I. and the impending and perhaps over A.I./Alien Takeover. In Part 1, John Franklin explores the rapid integration of artificial intelligence and robotics into daily life, starting with Melania Trump's recent appearance alongside a C-3PO-style robot at an education forum and Donald Trump's 4th of July painting featuring an Optimus bot. He discusses Elon Musk's mass production of humanoid robots, Chinese companion units, and how AI tutors will personalize education for Gen Alpha through neural links and tailored messaging. John also connects this technological shift to decades of cultural manipulation, noting how grunge and hip-hop music were engineered to breed indifference, and how demonic spiritual forces are already merging with digital devices and nano operating systems. In Part 2 John Franklin and James Bartley discuss current events and how it ties into the A.I. Revolution and Alien Agenda. John discusses to the geopolitical and military applications of AI, highlighting the Ukraine-Russia conflict as a live testing ground for drone warfare and battlefield data collection. He examines how Putin is pressuring European targets, the escalating tensions in Lebanon and the Middle East, and the potential for tactical nuclear strikes. John explains how fast-food automation and video game simulations are preparing a generation of soldiers for combat, while AI extracts physiological data from young gamers to recruit them into special forces. He concludes by discussing the impending global economic collapse, the seamless transition into a robot-dominated society, and how John sees younger generations fully immersed in this synthetic reality.

Dr. Marta Havryshko, a Ukrainian historian and activist, discusses the complex internal and geopolitical realities of the Russia-Ukraine war. Havryshko highlights the controversial glorification of Nazi collaborators in modern Ukraine and the subsequent suppression of academic research that challenges these nationalist narratives. She critiques the Western media for ignoring human rights violations, such as the brutal forced conscription of Ukrainian men and the influence of far-right battalions. The conversation further explores how global corporate interests and Western political elites utilize Ukraine as a proxy to strategically weaken Russia. Ultimately, she warns that the dehumanization of dissenting voices and the escalation of military rhetoric risk a broader, more catastrophic global conflict.

Trump is now calling on the Department of Justice this morning to investigate so-called price gouging at the pump, and why, according to White House sources speaking to Redacted News, the team negotiating the Ukraine-Russia deal has now discussed with President Trump the possibility of lifting sanctions on Russian oil. This would be a major move to lift sanctions on Russia and it would send a shockwave through the EU where they just introduced a new round of sanctions.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down a US-Iran peace deal that fell apart over the weekend, with Tehran declaring the Strait of Hormuz closed to all traffic but its own and President Trump threatening to seize the waterway by force. Bryan covers the deepening disconnect between a White House offering carrots and sticks and an Iranian regime whose Supreme Leader openly calls jihad his primary option, including new reporting that the IRGC is building secret assassination squads in Iraq to target US forces. He also tracks the global drone wars, from Ukraine bloodying Russia's refineries to illegal aliens charged in a plot to attack the White House grounds, and explains why Trump's deportation push is starting to bring down home prices and rent for American families. Plus, the fight over the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC and why Bryan sees it as a battle over whether Americans are allowed to celebrate their own country, China's tightening squeeze on critical minerals like indium, and the surprising mental health benefits of Nordic walking.

Washington Post foreign affairs columnist and bestselling author David Ignatius joins Donny Deutsch for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation on the biggest geopolitical flashpoints shaping our world right now. Is America a declining superpower? Donny and David break down Trump's Beijing summit with Xi Jinping — what Trump actually got (and didn't get), why Boeing stock dropped after the "200 planes" announcement, and what it means for U.S.-China relations that Taiwan arms sales are now a bargaining chip. They explore the Thucydides Trap, the G2 power dynamic, and whether decoupling from China was ever realistic. Then: the Ukraine-Russia war and how battlefield innovation — from AI-powered drone warfare to autonomous defense systems — is permanently changing the future of military conflict. David, who has traveled to Ukraine eight times since the invasion began, explains why survival is victory and what Putin's next move might be. From there, the conversation shifts to Iran: the nuclear threat, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, the internal power struggle inside the Iranian regime, and why Trump's military strategy may have empowered hardliners rather than weakened the regime. Finally, Donny and David tackle the alarming rise of antisemitism — why it's a symptom of civilizational decay, the role of social media in accelerating hate, what federal policy could actually help, and what King Charles got right that American political leaders are getting wrong.

On May 8, President Donald Trump announced Russia and Ukraine agreed to a three-day ceasefire. Both sides accused the other of violating the truce, and heightened strikes resumed when it ended on May 11. Over the weekend, Ukraine conducted an overnight drone attack on Russia, including strikes in Moscow, killing at least four and injuring 12, according to local officials. The Ukrainian military launched over 1,300 drones in the attack, which Russian state media called the worst in a year. The offensive followed last week's large-scale Russian bombardment that killed at least 24 Ukrainians and injured dozens more.

STREAMING MAKING OF JBS, FEATURING JIM MCTAGUE AND ANATOL LIEVEN, 5-7-2026.1948? BERLINThis transcript features a wide-ranging conversation between host John Bachelor and journalist Jim McTag regarding the evolution of storytelling and technology. The dialogue begins with a critique of metafiction and the shift in the publishing industry toward digital distribution and family sagas. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the practical applications of AI, with the speakers comparing different platforms like Gemini and Grok for creative work such as cartooning. The participants also analyze current global economic pressures, specifically rising oil prices, the "fog of war" in the Middle East, and the rapid expansion of AI data centers impacting real estate in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The segment concludes with brief, interrupted attempts to interview Anatol Lieven about the geopolitical tensions surrounding China, Taiwan, and the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

Savage quotes "sic semper tyrannis," linking John Wilkes Booth's justification for killing Lincoln to a recent attempted assassination of President Trump. He explains how psychopaths like the would-be assassin rationalize violence. He blasts liberals and media figures that radicalize unstable people with constant propaganda. He then points to security failures that enabled the dinner attack. He warns that Democrats will become more violent. In stream-of-consciousness commentary, he veers into Iran's nuclear threat, Ukraine-Russia casualties, FISA surveillance. Call (855) GOLD-099 or go to GetSavageGold.com right now.
