"They're not sending their best." Rachel Maddow reviews how the collection of unqualified culture warriors Donald Trump has put in charge of key facets of the United States national security apparatus is much worse than merely incompetent now that Trump has started a war with Iran and stoked a new level of threat against Americans and American interests. MS NOW's Carol Leonnig reports on new firings at the FBI that included members of an elite counterintelligence squad specializing in neutralizing threats from Iran. The firings came just before Trump started a war with Iran, setting up a whole new threat environment for Americans and American interests. Senator Tammy Duckworth joins Rachel to discuss Donald Trump's incoherent explanation for attacking Iran and the burden America's men and women in uniform are taking on for Trump's whim. And Donald Trump's Justice Department under Pam Bondi is in trouble with a judge again. Want more of Rachel?

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump will go down as one of the greatest Presidents in history.  He strengthened the border, the military, NATO, and is protecting us from the Iranian regime. The Marxists, Islamists and neo-fascists, like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, are the enemies from within. They undermine Trump, the military, and our national alliances.  Those media-types and politicians who pretend they don't know what threat the Iranian regime has posed to America are either liars or morons. For 47-years the Iranian regime has threatened to destroy us, has been at war with us, has launched directly and indirectly scores of acts of terrorism, has killed 1,000 of our military heroes and maimed thousands, has killed American citizens, has attempted to assassinate our presidents, and has been developing nuclear and ICBM technology. Every president of both parties has dealt with this, all inadequately until Trump. Every National Security Strategy report issued over the last several decades to Congress has highlighted Iran's threat. Our national security plans have had to deal with it and the frauds and phonies in the media and Democrats pretend they have no idea what the imminent threat is? They want us to wait until we are attacked. Later, this campaign against Iran has been so successful that we're now being joined by France, Britain - even Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. The world is rallying around the United States of America because of our president, because of our military, because of our victories. Afterward, Sen Dave McCormick calls in and praises the U.S. military's spectacular performance in Iran over the last 72 hours. There was exceptional coordination with Israel and more than 2,000 offensive missions that destroyed key Iranian infrastructure and leadership tiers but more work remains to defang the regime.

Stew tears apart the fake pretext for Trump's war on Iran – a blatant Zionist conquest funded by AIPAC and the Rothschild banking cabal headquartered in the crime state of Israel. From bombing Iranian schoolgirls to sacrificing Gen Z soldiers at Mar-a-Lago parties, this isn't America First; it's Israel First, orchestrated by Jewish blackmail operations and satanic elites who rape sovereignty and kids alike. Max Igan drops the bomb: These Jew-controlled pedovore monsters have welded America and Israel into a demonic genocide factory—sniping Red Crescent ambulances, unloading 900+ rounds into helpless medics and survivors, then finishing the job execution-style. Pure Tribe barbarism! This is the Greater Israel blueprint: Mass-murdering Arab kids, bulldozing cities into dust, and erecting swanky resorts plus their filthy Third Temple for ritual child sacrifices atop pyramids of goy bones.

The United States and Israel continued to strike Iran with missiles for a second day on Sunday, destroying more power centers of the Iranian regime and, according to rights groups, bringing the civilian death toll over 100. Iran responded with retaliatory attacks. At the same time, all eyes were on the Iranian government and the millions of citizens who have long opposed it. Farnaz Fassihi, who covers Iran for The New York Times, brings us the view from a pivotal moment inside Iran. Guest: Farnaz Fassihi, the United Nations bureau chief for The New York Times.

Nahal Toosi, senior foreign affairs correspondent and columnist at POLITICO, lays out what's likely to happen next and why it matters.And in headlines, Senator Lindsey Graham insists regime change is not the goal in Iran, Democrats mostly oppose the war (with some notable exceptions), and someone struck it big in a prediction market gamble on when the U.S. would strike Iran.Show Notes: Check out Nahal's latest on the war in Iran Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Trump cannot enunciate a clear reason for why he's chosen to go to war against Iran, and the administration is not even bothering to coordinate a message that clarifies its objective. While the military campaign appears aimed at regime change, Hegseth denies it is. And instead of speaking directly to Americans, POTUS himself has taken on a Jekyll and Hyde approach to his rationales in a series of private interviews: he's waffled between "freedom," to installing a caretaker regime à la Venezuela, to maybe even revenge. In any event, the United States seems like it's being dog-walked by the Israelis and the Saudis, and the corrupt deals between the Trump family and Gulf Arab states may be a factor.

Nicolle Wallace covers the latest breaking news coming out of Iran amid the endless unanswered questions from the Trump administration as to what the goals of this new war are. New reporting from the Washington Post suggests that many inside the Pentagon are nervous at the possibility that the conflict ignited in Iran may soon become too big for the United States to handle. Later, Rep. Jason Crow joins Nicolle to discuss how Congress feels about Trump refusing to get Congressional authorization before attacking Iran.

Nicolle Wallace covers how the latest attack within Iran is yet another betrayal of the MAGA base, who wants America to be put first. Back before the 2024 election, Stephen Miller, now Homeland Security Advisor to Trump, called Kamala Harris' campaign “war-mongering neocons [who] love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves.” Fast forward to 2026 under a second Trump presidency, the United States has upended Venezuela's regime, conducted air strikes in the Caribbean, and struck Iran, killing its Supreme Leader, all of which puts the U.S. military at risk. Later, Marc Elias and Tim Miller discuss Trump's unproven claims of Iran interfering in the 2020 election, leading to his loss to Joe Biden, and how Trump might use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms.

Regime change, nuclear weapons, terrorism …Why is the U.S. at war with Iran?In the days since the United States and Israel launched an attack on Iran, the Trump administration has given a wide range of reasons why the US is now at war. On Saturday, Trump seemed to indicate the U.S. and Israel were trying to clear the way for regime change. On Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the conflict in Iran was not about regime change.  A couple of hours later in Trump's first public comments, not prerecorded on video, he listed four objectives. Regime change wasn't among them. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Lauren Hodges and Karen Zamora, with audio engineering by Ted Mebane.It was edited by Andrew Sussman, Patrick Jarenwattananon and Courtney Dorning.

The United States is once again at war in the Middle East.The Trump administration, with support from Israel, made targeted air strikes against high-profile targets in Iran this weekend. Tehran responded by firing its own missiles at nearby Israeli and American military bases. This all comes after weeks of talks between Washington and Tehran over the latter's nuclear program and a major military buildup on the part of the U.S. in the Middle East. Several U.S. service members have been reported dead as a result of Iran's retaliation.President Donald Trump explained his rationale for the attacks in an eight-minute video posted on Truth Social Saturday morning, saying he hoped to destroy Iran's nuclear program and cripple its military.Now, leaders, analysts, and the world are wondering what yet another conflict in the region means for the futures of those who live there, the future of the global energy market, the midterm elections, and much more. We sit down with a panel of experts to unpack it all.Find more of our programs online.

Gaius and Germanicus define the 21st-century conflict between the United States and Iran as a "ceremonial war," a ritualistic display of power intended to project dominance without risking total societal mobilization or mass casualties. Germanicus explains that these "wars for show" rely on air dominance and precision strikes to establish authority. However, they warn that such wars are dangerous gambles that collapse if an opponent refuses to follow the "script" or if the dominant power's bluff is called by a stronger rival.ACHILLES AND HECTOR

-- On the Show -- Donald Trump launches a joint military operation with Israel, attacking Iran that kills Ayatollah Khamenei, leading to regional retaliation, and raising unresolved questions about regime change -- Donald Trump confirms three United States service members are dead, says there will likely be more casualties, and frames additional American deaths as inevitable while offering no clear mission or exit strategy -- Pete Hegseth calls the Iran operation a war, predicts more United States casualties, contradicts Donald Trump on regime change, and invokes religion while defending the administration's military actions -- Four men at a Washington DC restaurant allegedly brag about bombing Iran hours before the strikes, raising serious operational security concerns -- Tulsi Gabbard had previously warned that Donald Trump committed an act of war without congressional authority and questioned the objective of escalation with Iran -- Ted Cruz says he has no indication Iran was close to obtaining nuclear weapons, undermining the stated urgency and core justification for Donald Trump's military strikes -- Donald Trump could attempt to delay, disrupt, or manipulate midterm elections through emergency declarations and pressure on state officials if political conditions favor such actions -- National literacy data shows that roughly one in five American adults reads below a sixth-grade level, raising concerns about how limited reading comprehension shapes political messaging -- On the Bonus Show: Americans will likely pay for Trump's war with Iran, Bill Clinton testifies before Congress, Bernie calls for a $4.4 trillion tax hike on billionaires, and much more...

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up — just days into Operation Epic Fury, Israel says it now controls Iran's airspace and is operating directly over Tehran after dismantling key air defense systems and missile infrastructure. We break down what aerial supremacy means strategically — and why Iran, though wounded, remains dangerous. Later in the show — the world reacts. From the United Nations to Brussels, from Moscow to Beijing, global leaders weigh in as the conflict reshapes diplomatic alignments and raises fears of broader escalation. Plus — while the war rages abroad, the FBI shifts into a heightened defensive posture at home. Director Kash Patel orders counterterrorism teams onto high alert as intelligence officials monitor for potential asymmetric blowback inside the United States. And in today's Back of the Brief — a mass shooting in Austin leaves three dead and more than a dozen injured. We bring you the latest details as authorities investigate the motive and whether terrorism may be a factor.

The foreign-affairs journalist Ishaan Tharoor joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the fallout from the United States' joint military operation with Israel in Iran. They talk about the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—who was among the hundreds killed by drone and missile strikes—and how the country has retaliated against the U.S., Israel, and several of its Arab neighbors. Their conversation explores what comes next for the Iranian government and people, how the conflict fits into President Donald Trump's broader foreign-policy vision, and whether this latest attempt at regime change in the Middle East is likely to succeed when past American interventions have failed. This week's reading: “Has Trump Thought Through the Endgame in Iran?,” by Ishaan Tharoor “What Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Meant to Iran, and What Comes Next,” by Robin Wright “Trump's Reckless Decision to Pursue Regime Change in Iran,” by Isaac Chotiner “Donald Trump Launches a War of ‘Epic Fury' on Iran,” by Robin Wright “What Mehdi Mahmoudian Saw Inside the Iranian Prison System,” by Cora Engelbrecht The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

In Episode 465 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Yale historian and Cold War scholar Odd Arne Westad, author of The Coming Storm, about why the pre-WWI era of multipolarity, imperial decline, and great power rivalry offers a far more instructive — and alarming — historical parallel to today's world than the Cold War, and what must be done to prevent the catastrophic descent into total war. The first hour explores what went wrong after the fall of the Soviet Union, how the end of the Bretton Woods system helped enable China's economic rise, and the striking structural parallels between the rise of Germany before 1914 and the rise of China today. Westad and Kofinas also examine the roles that Russia, India, and the United States play in this historical analogy, and how the failure to integrate rising powers into meaningful international frameworks — then and now — has set the stage for catastrophic conflict. The second hour takes a deeper look at the specific forces that could push the world from strategic rivalry to outright war, including the role of nuclear weapons in a multipolar order, the most dangerous flashpoints — from Taiwan to the Korean Peninsula to the South China Sea and China's border with India — and the underappreciated threat that terrorism could pose as a catalyst for great power conflict. They also examine the internal political dynamics that boxed leaders into impossible positions before 1914, how frighteningly familiar those constraints look today, and what Professor Westad believes must be done to stabilize the international system before the world faces consequences it is not remotely prepared to confront.

History must be studied to put current events in context. Iran is the latest example. In 1953, the CIA and British intelligence orchestrated a coup to overthrow Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mosaddegh, who had nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (later British Petroleum). The Shaw was installed returning majority control of the oil business back to the USA and UK. Since the Islamic revolution that ousted the Shaw in 1979, all we have done is demonize Iran. What is the truth? The narratives of those in power will always shape a story that benefits them and their objectives. Question everything. Wars are not quick, not simple and always lead to unanticipated consequences.  #BardsFM_Morning #Propaganda  #QuestionEverything Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

So it appears that events in the Middle East have, once again, overtooken us. The United States and Israel have launched a joint operation to topple the Iranian regime, and to date have successfully killed the Ayatollah and a number of other regime leaders. From a military standpoint, the early returns all point to a successful operation....what are we to make of it? For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

UNBIASED University is in session! While Jordan is on maternity leave, she's breaking down the most critical aspects of the United States government — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three branches of the federal government, presidential elections, the evolution of political parties, and more. In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we continue the UNBIASED University series by breaking down the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the amendments that establish many of the core protections individuals have within the criminal justice system. What limits does the Constitution place on government searches and seizures, what rights protect individuals during questioning and prosecution, and what guarantees ensure a fair trial? We discuss the protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, the right against self-incrimination, the guarantees of due process, and the rights to legal counsel, a speedy and public trial, and an impartial jury. Through historical context and legal principles, this episode provides a clear, nonpartisan overview of the constitutional safeguards designed to balance law enforcement power with individual rights.

A former Clinton and Biden foreign policy advisor saw it before it happened. Now the question is what investors do next. Hours after this episode was recorded, the United States and Israel launched a coordinated military campaign against Iran, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in what analysts are calling the most significant U.S.-Iran escalation in decades. Charles Myers, Founder and CEO of Signum Global Advisors and a former senior foreign policy advisor to Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, had just sat down with Steven Ehrlich to discuss the geopolitical landscape and what it means for investors.  What he said about Iran during that conversation is now raising serious questions about what comes next, and the investment implications are far from settled. In this episode, Myers also addresses whether the "sell America" trade is overdone, where oil is heading, the future of AI funding, and whether Bitcoin can actually function as a safe haven when the world is on fire.

As we close the final day of Blackest History Month, the governments of the United States and Israel have declared war on Iran, an action that casts both countries as pariah states and threatens the lives and security of everyone in those three countries and beyond. At the same time, doomed efforts by predatory monied interests to shape and control mass media narratives and images are intensifying. Filmmaker Haile Gerima has described narratives as scalpels that cut into the center of our minds and consciousness. The struggle of liberation-oriented Governance formations against an increasingly fragile contemporary global Social Structure, then, is first and foremost, a clash between forces determined to reduce humanity to servitude and people who refuse to submit. What happens when increasingly desperate would-be masters can no longer control those they seek to dominate?Are you a member of Knarrative?
