    Over the last few days, Vice President JD Vance has been everywhere. From The View to the major networks to Gutfeld, the White House has put Vance front and center. This isn’t a media tour. It’s a message. America already knows who JD Vance is. This isn’t about introducing him. It’s about reminding the country, and the Republican Party, exactly where he stands. I believe President Trump is making it crystal clear that JD Vance is next in line. And the timing is no accident. As impressive as Marco Rubio has been, and he has been exceptional, his influence and popularity inside this administration continue to grow. Rubio’s rise has been one of the biggest stories in Washington. Now comes the Vance reminder. President Trump understands politics better than anyone. He knows perception becomes reality. By putting Vance everywhere, he’s reinforcing a simple fact: there may be many talented leaders in this administration, but there is only one vice president. The message couldn’t be clearer. JD Vance isn’t just serving alongside President Trump. He’s being positioned as the future of the America First movement. Today, we break down why Vance is suddenly everywhere and why President Trump appears determined to make sure the entire country knows exactly who he wants carrying the torch when his time in office is done.

RUSSIAN WARSHIP FIRES WARNING SHOTS NEAR YACHT IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-English Channel: This morning a Russian warship engaged a private yacht 20 miles off the coast of the Isle of Wight. The Krivak V-Class Frigate (FFG) Admiral Grigorovich fired warning shots in the general vicinity of privately owned yacht, which did allegedly not heed audible warnings to steer clear, and was approaching their position outside Britain's territorial waters. No damage or casualties were reported during the incident, and two Royal Navy vessels were also on station, shadowing the Grigorovich during the incident.Analyst Comment: The proverbial business appears to be getting out of control on the high seas, and this is the latest escalation to occur in the region over the past few days. Two days ago, the Royal Navy boarded and seized the Russian dark-fleet tanker (the M/T SMYRTOS) in the Channel, continuing the recent trend of NATO members capturing ships smuggling oil from Russia, to the global grey-market. As a result, this little spat could be more along the lines of diplomacy by warning shot.Middle East: As the peace settlement continues to move toward a signing on Friday, the Iranians and Americans are continuing to enforce the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Overnight, at least one vessel was reportedly fired upon by the Iranians for attempting to transit the Strait without prior coordination, however this has not been confirmed by the UKMTO yet.-HomeFront-USA: Yesterday evening mass waves of 911 call center outages were reported. Disruptions to emergency services were noted in Iowa, Arizona, Texas, and Washington due to the outage, and no further details have been provided on the cause of the incident.California: A crash of a B-52 Stratofortress was reported at Edwards Air Force Base during a routine training mission testing a new radar system. The crash reportedly took place immediately after takeoff, and the circumstances of the incident have not yet been disclosed. All 8x members of the crew were killed in the crash.Washington D.C. - Following Sunday's UFC event on the White House lawn, the FBI has released the details of an alleged terror attack targeting the venue. So far, five suspects have been arrested by federal authorities for attempting to carry out a complex coordinated attack at the event. Per the FBI, the attack was alleged to have utilized sniper teams, explosive drones, and a breach of the perimeter fence.Analyst Comment: Right now, very few details have been provided on what would have been one of the most substantial terrorist attacks in recent memory. This would also be one of the very few terror attacks that was foiled ahead of time, and many questions remain regarding the circumstances of this whole affair.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Contradictions also continue regarding the status of the peace deal in the Middle East. Yesterday, President Trump took to social media to explicitly state that the $300 million (sic) payment to Iran that is part of the leaked deal terms, is fake news. However, this morning Vice President Vance flat-out confirmed that the Iranians will have access to a $300 Billion fund, which will be made available to Iran as part of their cooperation in the agreement. As a result of these contradictions, the contents of the peace deal remain up in the air, even though the document has already been digitally signed by all parties, pending the wet signature ceremony on Friday. Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

    This week on Just Ask the Press, Brian Karem is joined by national security and FOIA expert Mark Zaid and journalism professor Nolan Higdon to unpack an incredibly chaotic week in news, politics, and media.   The trio kicks off the episode reacting to Elon Musk officially becoming the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX went public on the NASDAQ. They delve into his sci-fi aspirations for Mars and debate whether his staggering wealth is inherently dangerous for democracy or a catalyst for taking risks that governments won't. Next, the panel breaks down blockbuster reporting exposing a high-level, secret Situation Room meeting from the summer of 2025. Trump administration officials scrambled to manage damning, unreleased Epstein files, sparking an internal civil war over transparency—and a rogue strategy proposed by JD Vance. Later, Mark Zaid guides us through a packed week in the legal system, detailing the dramatic, eleventh-hour removal of Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center, a federal judge definitively halting a $1.776 billion "slush fund," and why a last-minute lawsuit failed to stop a massive UFC extravaganza on the White House lawn. Finally, the team scrutinizes the "on-again, off-again" war in Iran, the Department of Justice's controversial approval of the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger, and how the New York Knicks managed to win it all—despite a potential "Trump jinx."

    This past Sunday President Trump hosted a UFC event on the White House lawn. The event was a success by all appearances, there was a massive show, a live audience, and even a flyover by American jets. But the evening could have ended much differently.  A revolutionary group from Ohio was planning a massive attack to, in their words, "jumpstart" a revolution. But as we'll see in a moment their motivation may have been very different, and much more dangerous than was originally reported in the media.  Sign up for The Israel Guys Show Notes: https://israelguys.link/subscribe-86e4j4  Follow The Israel Guys on X: https://x.com/theisraelguys Join our Telegram channel: https://t.me/theisraelguys #israel #Israelnews #trump #ohio #UFC #Whitehouse #whitehouseattack #AIPAC

    The hosts discuss a controversial new study from Utah State University professor Lauren Van De Hey, highlighting how Gen Z and young liberals are integrating a "mental health illness identity" into their core political views. The segment criticizes corporate workplace mental health days and overdiagnoses, arguing that standard life struggles are being weaponized by left-wing groups to foster anti-capitalist resentment against billionaires. Linking this ideological shift directly to real-world violence, the hosts break down the newly foiled UFC Freedom 250 White House drone-and-sniper plot—which was stopped after a suspect's mother tipped off the FBI—and emphasize the need to turn out the conservative vote for Alan Wilson in South Carolina to break the establishment political machine.

    A comprehensive, day-long breakdown exposes a series of critical security and political crises threatening the foundation of the United States. The program begins by unpacking a rising tide of domestic extremism, specifically linking radical left-wing online networks to a terrifyingly sophisticated, multi-state drone-and-sniper plot targeting the historic UFC Freedom 250 White House celebration. The hosts connect this ideology to a "mental health political identity" gaining traction among Gen Z liberals, which is actively weaponized into violent anti-capitalist rage. This brand of radicalism has already produced devastating consequences, from the multi-billion dollar devastation of the Palisades Fire—ignited by a suspect fixated on health care executive assassin Luigi Mangione—to armed training operations run by underground entities like the Socialist Rifle Club. The hosts assert that this movement is not organic; rather, it is supercharged by foreign digital networks and billionaire tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, who funnels millions from his headquarters in Shanghai to back anti-Western propaganda and radicalize a generation. Turning to federal domestic policy, the show highlights a massive law enforcement crackdown under the Trump administration that successfully removed 20,000 illegally licensed immigrant truck drivers from American roads over the past year. The hosts reveal a dangerous loophole where sanctuary states are issuing commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to undocumented individuals—including an international fugitive wanted for homicide—while progressive officials aggressively block federal oversight to preserve a future voting bloc. Additionally, the show delivers a blistering, consistent critique from the right against Donald Trump and JD Vance's newly unveiled Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Backed by scathing editorials from *The New York Post* and *National Review*, the segment blasts the administration for executing what they call a complete capitulation. The terms reveal that the U.S. will lift its naval blockades, hand complete control of the Strait of Hormuz to the IRGC, and allow Iran to sell its backlogged oil entirely sanction-free—all upfront, with zero nuclear verification mechanisms, just to guarantee a 60-day window for technical talks. The program also features an in-depth interview with Dean Steve Nails from Anderson University's College of Business, who outlines a bleak timeline for white-collar job displacement, predicting AI automation will fully eliminate 9.2 million knowledge-worker, accounting, and legal research roles by 2030.

    Resale is forcing brands to rethink product design, pricing, and customer acquisition from the ground up. Ryan Rowe (Archive) and Alison Buchanan (Lululemon) join Brian and Alicia to unpack how lululemon's Like New evolved from a sustainability pilot into a meaningful commercial channel. We unpack messy reverse logistics, the AI agents now quietly running warehouse decisions, and the organizational vision required to make circular commerce work across a vertically structured enterprise. When the Future of Commerce Is Circular, Every Brand Is A Secondhand Brand Key takeaways: Resale has shifted from a sustainability gesture to a commercial channel with P&L accountability. Branded resale wins where third-party marketplaces can't: data integrity, trust, and brand language. Like New must operate to tackle a fundamentally different eCommerce problem — one-of-one inventory breaks mainline systems. AI is moving from assisting warehouse operators to serving as autonomous agents that optimize pricing and routing. Circular commerce is an acquisition engine; roughly half of resale shoppers are new to the lululemon brand. Key quotes: [02:41] "It's a very technical problem. It's a large-scale platform problem that touches virtually every piece of a brand's business." — Ryan Rowe [06:12] "Commerce is, is obviously just a space that we are starting to realize is a strong commercial lever… Like New for our business is really sitting at this intersection of business and impact." — Alison Buchanan [08:40] "Resale of lululemon was happening at scale already all around us. And it was either let it happen without us… or uphold our brand standards." — Alison Buchanan [26:26] "A lot of customers are actually trying brands for the first time with a used item… because it's a way for them to test things like fit and material and quality at a much lower barrier to entry." — Ryan Rowe In-Show Mentions: Archive Like New by Lululemon Associated Links: Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

    Turnbuckle Tavern is powered by G FUEL and Official Dick Lazer. Use code TAVERN for 20% off at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Episode 190 is headlined by a major development in Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, as all parties have received approval to move the case toward private arbitration. We discuss what the canceled June 16 hearing, the July 10 status report, and the potential move to confidential arbitration could mean, not just legally but publicly, as questions grow about whether WWE and TKO may eventually test the waters for a Vince McMahon rehabilitation tour. We also break down CM Punk's expected WWE return. Punk has been announced for FanaticsFest on July 19, reports continue to point toward a return on or before the July 6 Raw near Chicago, and Dave Meltzer reports WWE's current plan is for Punk to join the SmackDown roster. We examine the teased Cody Rhodes program, why creative changes delayed his return, and what it could mean for SummerSlam. Rhea Ripley is dealing with issues both inside and outside the ring. WWE revealed that the Women's Champion is being evaluated for a knee injury suffered in Italy, while Ripley also opened up about fans crossing major boundaries, including showing up at her home and one person obtaining her personal phone number after being unable to purchase SmackDown tickets. On the AEW side, we look at ticket sales for Redemption in Montreal and Grand Slam Mexico, with both events showing encouraging early momentum. Redemption has distributed 4,782 tickets and is already approaching AEW's previous Bell Centre number, while Grand Slam Mexico sits at 5,146 tickets distributed, well above AEW's current 2026 attendance average. We also cover NJPW Dominion 2026, where five championships changed hands. Yota Tsuji regained the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, Shota Umino captured the IWGP Global Championship, YOH became the 100th IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, Aaron Wolf reclaimed the NEVER Openweight Championship, and Great O Khan and HENARE captured the IWGP Tag Team Championships. Plus, Gabe Kidd returned and immediately inserted himself into the title picture. The road to G1 Climax 36 is now set as NJPW finalizes its play in matches. We discuss Aaron Wolf's rapid rise, the final qualifying matches, and how the field is shaping up before the tournament begins July 11 in Chicago. John Cena also shares new details on the planned John Cena Classic, including WWE's version of an All Star Game, a new championship, fan voting, cross brand exhibition matches, and the possibility, however unlikely, of one more match. Plus, UFC Freedom 250 becomes one of the strangest stories of the year. The FBI says it foiled an alleged attack plot targeting the White House event, Dana White publicly criticized Josh Hokit's remarks about Michelle Obama, Roman Reigns, Nick Khan, Paul Levesque, Shane McMahon, and Declan McMahon were all in attendance, and Daniel Cormier found himself at the center of a bizarre social media controversy involving Eric Trump. From there, we head to TNA, where the company is undergoing major changes. Tessa Blanchard has been granted her release after reportedly declining an exclusive contract offer, while longtime creative figure Tommy Dreamer has mutually parted ways with the promotion after nearly a decade in leadership and creative roles. We break down the reported wrestling politics involving TNA, WWE, AAA, CMLL, and AEW that may have contributed to Blanchard's departure, discuss Dreamer's exit and his impact on the company behind the scenes, examine the reports linking Road Dogg to a potential role in TNA's creative future, and explore what these departures could mean for the company's direction moving forward. We also preview the week ahead, including Cody Rhodes defending the WWE Championship against Gunther with Sami Zayn as special guest referee, Charlotte Flair facing Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring semifinals, Mercedes Moné battling Hazuki in the Owen Hart Tournament, AEW's continued build toward Forbidden Door, and a loaded slate of action from NJPW, TNA, and more.

Patriotism, festivities, and enough red, white, and blue to make Uncle Sam ask everyone to tone it down a notch. Apparently, America knows how to throw a birthday party.Speaking of parties, Barack Obama casually revealed that there were some pretty wild gatherings during his White House years. Which naturally leaves us wondering: were these classy soirées, or was somebody playing beer pong in the Lincoln Bedroom? We discuss the comments and speculate on what exactly "wild" means when you're living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.Then we head to the golf course, where Phil Mickelson reportedly found himself in the rough after allegedly behaving inappropriately with a woman and getting shown the clubhouse door. Apparently, "playing through" doesn't apply to personal conduct.Finally, across the pond, thousands of people in the United Kingdom took to the streets to voice concerns about immigration, national identity, and the future of their country. We break down the protests, the reactions, and why Europeans seem to have mastered the art of expressing frustration while standing in the rain.From White House celebrations to presidential party stories, golf course drama, and political unrest overseas, this episode has more twists than a British roundabout.So grab your favorite beverage, avoid getting kicked out of any country clubs, and remember: if someone says there were "wild parties" at the White House, everybody immediately starts wondering who was in charge of the playlist.

    The memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran was apparently signed over the weekend, but the text remains a mystery to most. Donald Trump says he'll release it and even read it himself so nobody can misunderstand it. If it's such good news, though, why not put it out right now? Israel isn't a fan of it, nor are those who believe we've abandoned the Iranian people by making a deal with the IRGC. At the same time, there may be a silent majority that cares less about the politics and more about the price at the pump. And that's what caught my attention.Since the beginning of May, with Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, gas prices in the United States have fallen. Not by a little, but by a lot. The national average has gone from roughly $4.50 a gallon to $3.50. That happened while the strait was closed and before any memorandum of understanding was announced. The White House wasn't bragging about it. They weren't loudly telling Iran that the closure wasn't working. That made me think something else was going on.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.After digging through it, I've been able to dig up a few explanations. The most public, I'd argue, was the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The Department of Energy released more than 53 million barrels as part of a broader international effort, bringing the reserve down to its lowest level since 1983. There were also reports that the United States was helping move oil out of the Gulf using some of the same techniques Iran has historically used to evade sanctions. American production remained high. Every hint of a peace deal pushed oil prices lower. Global demand softened. China sharply reduced its purchases on the open market. Alternative routes around Hormuz became more important. Gasoline inventories improved. All of it pushed prices down.If I rank the reasons, peace-talk optimism sits at the top. Strategic reserve releases bought time. American-supported workarounds moved real barrels. Demand destruction, especially with China stepping back, reduced pressure. Improved gasoline inventories helped. Some of the more speculative theories include sanctions waivers for Iranian oil, greater tolerance for shadow-fleet shipments, and alternate export routes making Hormuz less decisive than Iran hoped.What stands out is that there were more American incentives to get to the table than Iranian ones. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a temporary band-aid. Smuggling oil out of the Gulf is risky. Every day the Strait of Hormuz remained closed carried economic and military risks. That helps explain why the White House wanted a deal. Iran had incentives too, especially if China was no longer buying at previous levels, but the balance of pressure appears different than many expected.My assumption remains what it has been for weeks: there are multiple power centers inside Iran, and the biggest question is whether any deal can survive them. The Ayatollah is gone, much of Iran's leadership structure has been shattered, and the IRGC itself appears divided between factions willing to make a deal and hardliners who want to keep fighting. The memorandum of understanding may give us a clearer picture when we finally see it. Until then, the biggest question isn't whether a deal exists. It's whether anyone on the Iranian side can actually enforce it.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:38 - Iran and Gas Prices00:31:47 - Update00:32:04 - UFC 250 Terrorism Plot00:37:46 - Russia-Ukraine00:39:48 - Primaries00:42:48 - Interview with Maria Curi01:11:46 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.
