Trump just put the Iran question on the table in language nobody in Washington wanted on tape: “When do I blow the entire nation up?” The options he named are not think-tank fog. Make a deal. Let Iran rot under the naval blockade. Or wipe the regime out. Last week, he told Axios a big decision was coming on whether to annihilate Iran's government. Now he's saying very big things are coming in the not-so-distant future — and he cut Camp David short, coming back to the White House a day early to sit with it. Iranian officials are headed to New York for the U.N. General Assembly. Trump says he'd probably be open to meeting President Masoud Pezeshkian. He also says Tehran keeps sending people who cannot close a deal, and some of them are “hiding like rats.” Meanwhile the blockade is still squeezing a battered economy, CENTCOM has escorted a billion barrels of crude through the Strait of Hormuz, Houthis fired a ballistic missile toward Riyadh, and the State Department quietly warned Americans about sudden escalation and airspace closures. Pat also covered: CENTCOM moved one billion barrels through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran exported zero. Did Ed Sheeran just bend the knee to the rage mob? UFO over Tehran. Is America flying tech we won't admit we have? Karl Rove gets the state of the Republican Party wrong. Again. Talarico is up six on Paxton. Is Texas about to send a beta male to the Senate? Would you take a deal with this regime after that warning? If Trump picks “wipe them out,” is that strength — or a war you actually want?

1955In The Londinium Chronicles, Gaius (John Batchelor) and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos) explore the intersections of Roman history and modern geopolitics.Germanicus and Gaius Debate American Strategy In Rainy Autumn LondiniumGaius and Germanicus: Gathered at their expanded Londinium wine bar on a rainy autumn evening in 92 AD, the hosts reflect on municipal regulations, building codes, and upcoming gladiator games before analyzing modern geopolitical parallels. The discussion focuses on American imperial strategy, drawing comparisons between potential U.S. diplomacy toward Russia and Richard Nixon's historic opening to China during the Vietnam War. Germanicus explains that the U.S. has exhausted its initial policy options regarding the Ukrainian conflict, leaving Washington inclined to offer Russia economic incentives and territorial concessions to secure a peacetime transition. Such an agreement could facilitate a 40 percent drawdown of American troops in Europe, shift strategic burdens onto a stagnant European Union, and enlist Moscow as a mediating influence regarding Iran. In exchange, Vladimir Putin seeks a neutral, military-free Ukrainian buffer state to guarantee Russian security against European aggression. Reflecting on historical precedent, Gaius cites Queen Boudicca's catastrophic accommodation with Rome, warning that financial and development deals with an empire inevitably erode national sovereignty. However, Germanicus notes that unlike ancient Rome or modern peer competitors, contemporary America lacks the military doctrine, industrial capacity, and political fortitude required to prevail in prolonged peer conflicts. Consequently, Germany and Japan remain national security satellites following decades of post-war subjugation. (1)

Dr. Thomas Laehn joins Brian Nichols to reveal how Iowa's data center fight, eminent domain, and Citizens United money all run through the 2026 Senate race - and why voters keep getting handed two bad options.Laehn is the Greene County Attorney and the first Libertarian in Iowa history to win a partisan election. Then he won it again. Now he's on the November 3 ballot against Ashley Hinson and Josh Turek for Joni Ernst's open seat.He wrote a bill that passed the House and passed the Senate. It never became law. What happened to it is the part nobody in Des Moines wants repeated.Brian pushes back hard - on young men and H-1B hiring, on the cultural fight libertarians keep dodging, on whether one party is objectively worse than the other.

The Iran war has cascaded from the Strait of Hormuz to the Bab el-Mandeb to your grocery bill, and the president has two bad choices left: capitulate or escalate materially. Paul Rieckhoff runs the ground truth with a sharp panel breakdown of what's actually happening at the pump, in the Freedom Caucus, and inside a House that just adjourned two weeks early while calling itself the most productive Congress since 1789. Seven Republicans just voted for a war powers resolution. Andy Harris is picking public fights over gas prices. Karl Rove says he's voting for a Democrat. This is not spin — this is a party fracturing in real time. From Venezuelan crude that can't even fill the strategic petroleum reserve, to Canada quietly courting associate membership in the EU, to buy-now-pay-later spiking because Americans can't afford groceries, this episode connects the war abroad to the squeeze at home. Then we get to the number that matters most: 45% of American voters now call themselves independent, and candidates like Dan Osborn, Seth Bodnar, and a wave of veteran outsiders are turning red districts into toss-ups.

Fighting on Yemen's west coast has prompted thousands of people to flee by boat across the Bab al-Mandab Strait to Djibouti over the last ten days.The crossings were sparked by an offensive by the Iran-backed Houthi movement to take control of a key island and seize the strategically important port of Mokha. We have a report from a refugee camp in a small port town where officials are preparing for the arrival of up to 10,000 refugees.Also in the programme: Germany's chancellor admits the latest elections were a disaster for his party; artificial intelligence expected to be a core part of talks at Xi Jinping's state visit to the United States later this week: and a raft of potential medical breakthroughs for Alzheimer's disease.(Photo shows Yemeni people fleeing clashes in their country gather to receive supplies from the International Organization for Migration at the Markazi refugee camp after arriving in Djibouti on 18 September 2026.

Sanctions are squeezing Iran's economy, and Tehran wants a deal to end the war. But it is seeking a negotiated exit, not capitulation.Negar Mortazavi on the BBC

Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, says Tehran sent conditions for ending the war through Qatar and is awaiting Trump's response. Iran says it wants an agreement but is prepared to continue fighting if Washington rejects its terms.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dig into what may be the most revealing signs yet of a White House struggling to manage Donald Trump, as his own advisers begin publicly pushing back on his dismissal of AI concerns and his refusal to confront Republican vulnerability ahead of the midterms. They examine Trump's increasingly personal battle with the Kennedy Center, including his reported plans to demolish it, before turning to his fixation on 1950s battleships, the Supreme Court, and the idea that everyone in government ultimately works for him. They also discuss the Epstein files, soaring gas prices, the fallout from the Iran war, Trump's claims about Greenland, and the looming constitutional questions surrounding the next Congress.

Ed Sheeran has spoken out at the start of his first show since the rapper Macklemore was dropped from his US tour over pro-Palestinian comments. The British singer said the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023 were horrific, but Israel's subsequent response had been disproportionate. He said his heart had been broken by the scale of devastation. Also: for the first time since those Hamas attacks on Israel sparked the war on Gaza, half a million children inside the territory are returning to formal education. Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen say they have carried out drone and ballistic missile attacks on the Saudi capital Riyadh, as well as energy sites on the country's Red Sea coast. Germany is holding two state elections this weekend in the wake of the recent successes of the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland - or AfD - party which recorded its best ever result. And Google has confirmed that its AI system, Gemini, hacked into three companies during a test in May. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Is Trump losing control of everything? That's the through-line this week as the system starts pushing back on multiple fronts at once. Paul Rieckhoff breaks down Thomas Massie's articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — a Pentagon leader more obsessed with grooming standards and fitness optics than with getting the job done in Iran or telling Congress the truth. Inside the building, morale is cratering and the leaks are coming from senior officers who want him out. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh — the man Trump handpicked to replace Jerome Powell and slash rates — did the opposite. He hiked. Because inflation is real, the bond market doesn't lie, and even a Trump loyalist has to answer to Economics 101. From there the show pivots to Ukraine's record defense budget and the long-overdue Graham sanctions bill, the Iran war that's become a sucking chest wound for the military and the economy, and the cultural collision that is Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, Bob Kraft, and the free-Palestine chant that split a New Jersey stadium in half. This is the no-BS, intelligence-grade read on a week where the Fed, the Supreme Court, Congress, and the Pentagon all told the president no — and where the most desperate move may still be coming.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, Chad is joined by Haley and Mary Lou, who are together in Oklahoma. Bob is still out recovering.

According to Anthony Scaramucci, former White House Communications Director, outspoken Trump critic and co-host of The Rest Is Politics: US, President Trump represents one of the greatest challenges America has ever faced. During the first half of his second presidency, Trump has waged war on Iran, threatened the future of NATO and clashed with allies. At home he jokes about cancelling elections, threatens the free press and tests the limits of executive power. With inflation biting and his approval ratings falling, November's pivotal midterm elections will offer the first major verdict on his second term and the future of America. Is Trump politically vulnerable? Can Democrats capitalise on his mistakes? Is MAGA bigger than Trump—or will the battle to succeed him define the future of the Republican Party? How has Trump transformed American society, and how does he continue to threaten democracy at home and abroad? And after a decade of Trump, what does the next chapter look like for America and the world? In September 2026 Scaramucci came to the Intelligence Squared stage, where he was in conversation with former editor in chief of Tatler, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker, Tina Brown. Drawing on his forthcoming book All The Wrong Moves, they discussed how decades of mistakes by both Republicans and Democrats paved the way for Trump's rise, and explained how America could chart a different course. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Read OnlineFrom Sinner to SaintAs Jesus passed by, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.” Matthew 9:9Saint Matthew, whom we honor today, makes following Christ seem so simple. Jesus said, “Follow me,” and Matthew did so, leaving behind his former life and all the baggage he carried. Or did he? Though Matthew's instant response is inspiring, we should not presume that everything became easy from that moment on. When we have deeply ingrained habits of sin, it takes time and grace to root them out. But none of that healing can begin until we take the first step, which Matthew courageously did in today's Gospel.After leaving his customs post, Matthew hosted a dinner for Jesus in his home. Though his home may have been comfortable and the food rich, Matthew—like any new convert—had a long way to go. Tax collectors were despised by nearly everyone, except fellow tax collectors and those branded as sinners. The Jews saw them as traitors to both faith and nation, often barring them from synagogue and Temple worship. Their families, too, were commonly treated with contempt, sometimes even disowned. Ironically, even the Romans, for whom they collected taxes, looked down on them, as they were not true members of the Empire.This religious and social isolation inflicted deep suffering on these “sinners.” Though tax collectors may have lived outwardly lavish lives, their hearts often bore the sting of loneliness and rejection. It was into this wounded world that Jesus stepped when He encountered Matthew.The fact that Matthew followed Jesus quickly and eagerly reveals much about Matthew's inner life. He had heard of this new preacher—perhaps even whispers that He might be the Messiah—and the news had stirred something within. When this rabbi not only noticed him but spoke compassionately to him, commanding him to follow and accepting an invitation to dine in his home, it must have awakened a flood of emotion. Perhaps for the first time in years, Matthew felt something stirring within that had long been buried. Freedom, excitement, hope, and curiosity filled him, and he was willing to walk away from the past and begin anew.But conversion is not the end; it's only the beginning. Consider the weeks, months, and years that followed. Like us, Matthew likely wrestled with second thoughts. He would have struggled with guilt and shame, felt unworthy to be among Jesus' disciples, missed aspects of his old life, and faced the unfamiliar turmoil of inner transformation.For Matthew, as for all disciples, conversion is the first step. Discipleship is the ongoing journey by which the light of Heaven slowly and steadily penetrates every dark corner of our hearts. We begin to see our attachments more clearly, to understand the harm we've caused others, and to navigate the confusion that often arises when grace begins its work within.Today, we honor Saint Matthew because he kept going after that first step. The three years he spent at Jesus' side during the public ministry would have been years of profound transformation. After the Ascension, that transformation deepened as the Holy Spirit enlightened him from within, leading him to even more glorious things.Reflect today on the long and often painful journey of conversion and purification that Saint Matthew endured faithfully until the end. According to tradition, Matthew eventually traveled to the region south of the Caspian Sea—modern-day Iran or Armenia—where he gave his life in martyrdom. His most enduring legacy, however, is the Gospel he wrote. If God could use a tax collector and sinner like Matthew to do such great things, He can use each of us as well. Seek Saint Matthew's intercession. Ponder his Gospel. And pray for the grace to imitate his holy perseverance, one step at a time. Saint Matthew, when Jesus called, you followed without hesitation. Please pray for me, that I may respond to every prompting of grace as soon as it is offered. Intercede for me, that I—and all followers of Christ—may imitate your heroic journey: from sinner, wounded and isolated, to saint, dwelling forever in the glory of God's Kingdom. Jesus, call me as You called Matthew, and grant me the grace he received to follow You faithfully to the end. Jesus, I trust in You. Image: Saint Matthew the Evangelist, by Liviu Dumitrescu Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump bars three major news organizations from covering the White House as Republican concern over the impact of his policies continues to grow.The countdown clock to the midterm elections continues to tick down, but the rest of the numbers affecting the economy continue to go up. We're now 200 days into the war with Iran...and gas prices remain high, with diesel prices at new record highs.But promises those gas prices will come down soon are wearing thin with some Republicans. Especially in Iowa, where farmers are struggling and where two House Republicans in tight races voted last week to oppose the President's open-ended war in Iran. And Trump's deportation policy is an issue for Republicans in some districts, Florida Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar made a direct appeal to the President in a campaign ad.We'll talk with Congresswoman Salazar, California Democrat Ro Khanna, plus Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy and Trump first term economic advisor Gary Cohn.Finally, we'll hear another viewpoint in the debate over how to manage the fast moving pace of Artificial Intelligence development as our Jo Ling Kent spoke with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.It's all just ahead on Face the Nation.

In an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment, Donald Trump has announced an immediate ban on major news outlets including CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House press pool. This move follows explosive investigative reports covering hidden casualties in the war in Iran, AI-generated intelligence blunders that nearly triggered a broader conflict, and military tech leaks to China. Unable to refute the facts, the administration has resorted to retaliatory bans, escalating a decade-long crusade against independent journalism. Independent media has never been more important.

A candidate takes money from a controversial project, then calls for a moratorium on the very thing that funded her campaign. That tension kicks off a fast moving conversation about the New Mexico governor race, the Project Jupiter data center fight, and why data centers have become a political lightning rod around water use, power demand, and utility rates. We walk through what a “pause and guardrails” approach could look like, why public trust matters as much as policy, and how the New Mexico legislature's reputation for heavy handed regulation shapes the stakes for business and communities.Then we slow down and analyze a single press conference moment from Deb Haaland that says a lot about modern campaigning. She gets a direct question about donations and accountability, pivots to the cost of elections, and reframes the whole thing around protecting New Mexicans and benefits like Medicaid and SNAP. We explain why that kind of non answer can still be effective political communication, and what an opponent would need to do to force a real response.From there we widen to the national picture: midterm elections, inflation, gas prices, and the political gravity of affordability. We connect the price squeeze to energy shocks and the Iran war, talk about why “simple messages” win, and why voters often blame whoever is in office even when economic change is slow. Finally, we jump into AI regulation and AI safety, including concerns about lobbying, “watchdog” ecosystems, and a chilling report about a U.S. military close call sparked by AI generated false intelligence. We end with the cultural side of AI, from deepfakes to an AI actress glitching on live TV, plus a quick hit on Greenland and a legal battle over AI disclaimers for political satire.Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a rating and review so more people can find the show.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

September 20, 2026; 7am: Iranian-backed Houthi rebels say they fired a barrage of missiles and drones at Riyadh and Saudi oil facilities, landing the first strikes on the Saudi capital in months.
