On today's episode, Andy and DJ break down President Trump's announcement that the U.S. and Iran will hold fresh talks after recent strikes strained the ceasefire, locals in Genoa, Italy pummeling a man accused of masturbating in front of young children and families at the beach, and Fever guard Sophie Cunningham saying WNBA players are "definitely targeting" Caitlin Clark.

The Catiline Conspiracy and the Perils of Invincibility. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. The rivalry between Cicero and Catiline represented a clash between a "new man" and an established aristocrat. Catiline was a brave soldier from an ancient family who felt humiliated after losing the consular election to the newcomer Cicero. As the economic situation in Italy worsened due to a credit crisis, Catiline adopted a populist platform, calling for debt reform and the cancellation of loans. Cicero, who was aligned with the financial elite of Rome, viewed Catiline's plans as a threat to the republic's stability. When Catiline lost a subsequent race, he became desperate and organized a group of fashionable young men to support a conspiracy. Cicero used an extensive network of spies to monitor these developments, fueled by his own justified paranoia. He eventually denounced Catiline in the Senate, leading to a showdown where Catiline fled to lead an army. Although Catiline died in battle, the fallout from the conspiracy would eventually lead to Cicero's greatest political crisis. Cicero believed this moment was his peak, marking his place in history as the savior of the republic. 4CARTHAGE

Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin dig into the life of Alexandre Dumas Père — and it's a wild ride. His grandmother was a slave. His father was the French army's first non-white general. Napoleon destroyed that father, and Dumas never forgot it. He wrote over 100 novels, went broke twice, helped unify Italy, and ran the museums of Naples — including Pompeii. Oh, and he wrote a cookbook. Elyse brings the research, Annie brings the questions, and together they make French history genuinely fun. Hit play.

Back in 2017, reporters Kristen Clark and David Conrad came to us with a story that dug into the difficult and often dark places discrimination creates. We start in Venice, Italy, where they meet gondolier Alex Hai. On the winding canals in the hidden parts of Venice, we learn about the nearly 1000-year old tradition of the Venetian Gondolier, and how the global media created a 20-year battle between that tradition and a supposed feminist icon.  We circled back to Alex in 2026, to find out where the canal of life ended up leading after our initial reporting, and we've included some heartbreaking and heartwarming updates on Alex's life at the end of this episode.  Special thanks to Alexis Ungerer, Summer, Alex Hai, Kevin Gotkin, Silvia Del Fabbro, Sandro Mariot, Aldo Rosso and Marta Vannucci, The Longest Shortest Time (Hillary Frank, Peter Clowney and Abigail Keel), Tim Howard, Nick Adams/GLAAD, Valentina Powers, Florence Ursino, Ann Marie Somma, Alex Overington, Jeremy Bloom and the people of Little Italy.  EPISODE CREDITS:  Reported by - David Conrad and Kristen Clark.

Doug's in Italy, so Strickland decides to get his wife, brother-in-law, and his sister-in-law's brother to record with him. What could go wrong?

In this episode, Dr. Vera Tarman sits down with world-renowned nephrologist, researcher, and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung to explore one of the most pressing questions in the food addiction community: Is fasting safe for the food addict? Dr. Fung's latest book, The Hunger Code: Resetting Your Body's Fat Thermostat in the Age of Ultra-Processed Food, challenges the calorie-centric model of obesity and offers a deeper, more honest look at why we eat the way we do — and what it actually takes to change. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the calories in/calories out model fails — and what the hormonal model of obesity actually means The three types of hunger driving overeating: homeostatic, hedonic, and conditioned hunger — and why the social and emotional components may account for 90% of our eating behavior How ultra-processed foods are engineered to hijack the brain's reward system — and why that matters for food addicts The difference between fasting and starvation — and why the mindset behind fasting changes everything The dangers of using fasting as a punishment after a binge — and how to use it safely and intentionally instead Why a low-carb, higher-fat diet makes fasting more sustainable for people coming out of binge cycles Dr. Fung's honest take on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic — the benefits, the limitations, and why they're not the whole answer What Japan and Italy get right about eating culture that the U.S. has lost Why public policy — not just personal willpower — must be part of the solution to ultra-processed food addiction   About Dr. Jason Fung: Dr. Jason Fung is a Toronto-based nephrologist and one of the world's leading experts on therapeutic fasting and low-carb nutrition. He is the bestselling author of The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, The Cancer Code, and his newest release, The Hunger Code. He is also the co-founder of The Fasting Method, a coaching program helping people reverse obesity and type 2 diabetes through hormonal and lifestyle approaches.

Hour 1 opens with the Marlins continuing their strong stretch as one of the hottest teams in baseball before the conversation shifts to Miami Hurricanes football recruiting, ACC Media Days, and the pressure mounting on Florida State's coaching staff. The guys also react to the NBA Draft and several former Canes basketball players earning opportunities at the next level, leading to a debate about team-building philosophies around the league. With teams like the Thunder and Spurs thriving through the draft, Omar Kelly, Hollywood, and Donno discuss whether the Heat should continue their win-now approach through trades and free agency. Omar makes the case for Miami to pursue either LeBron James or Ja Morant before the show reflects on LeBron's remarkable longevity, his controversial arrival in Miami, and his continued elite play at age 40. The hour also features World Cup discussion, movie talk, stories about Donno's travels in Europe and Hollywood's upcoming trip to Italy, plus a fun debate over whether anyone on the show could survive the infamous 9-9-9 challenge at a Marlins game

So Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is out there saying, “Italy and I never beg.” Strong line. Very cinematic. You can almost hear the orchestral music and see the wind machine doing its thing.But then comes the part that makes you tilt your head like a confused newsroom intern: the suggestion that the leader of the United States shows up, and somehow there's resistance to the photo op. With Donald Trump.Now pause right there. Because in today's political ecosystem, Trump could walk into a room, solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, donate a million dollars to charity, and the headline would still somehow be: “Man With Opinions Causes Mild Atmospheric Disturbance.”So when Meloni says she doesn't understand why the President behaves this way toward allies, and that it's “a pity he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West,” I have questions. Not rhetorical ones. Real ones. The kind that come with raised eyebrows and a slow sip of coffee.First, “behaves this way” is doing a lot of emotional lifting there. That phrase is like a diplomatic suitcase stuffed with assumptions, interpretations, and at least three editorial board meetings.Because what exactly is the behavior?Is it negotiating aggressively? Is it not doing the usual global handshake ballet where everyone agrees on everything in public and contradicts it in private? Or is it simply that Trump doesn't perform the “everyone is my best friend” theater that global politics has quietly standardized?And this is where the irony starts doing gymnastics.We're told constantly that Trump is unpredictable, brash, difficult. Yet somehow he's also the only president who manages to trigger simultaneous confusion and moral disappointment across continents for not behaving like a polite bureaucratic suggestion box.Meanwhile, the idea that leaders might not always be thrilled about photo ops with him gets treated like breaking news. As if international diplomacy is supposed to be a yearbook signing session where everyone writes, “Stay cool, best ally ever.”But let's step back into Meloni's critique: why not show the same determination with the enemies of the West?That's the part that sounds noble until you realize the assumption baked inside it. It assumes everyone agrees on who the enemies are, how you “show determination,” and what counts as effective action versus performative action.Because in modern geopolitics, “determination” can mean anything from sanctions, to speeches, to carefully worded statements that are strong enough to trend on social media but soft enough to survive translation.So here's the quiet question underneath all of it: are we talking about real policy disagreement, or are we talking about style disagreement dressed up as moral clarity?Because style is where things get interesting.Trump operates like a geopolitical highlighter. He doesn't just underline the sentence, he circles it three times and writes “FIX THIS” in the margin. That's not subtle. That's not delicate. But it is unmistakable.And unmistakable is something global politics often pretends it doesn't need, while secretly relying on it when things get messy.Now add the media layer, and the whole thing becomes a hall of mirrors with press passes.One leader says something. Another reacts. A third interprets the reaction. Then analysts interpret the interpretation. And somewhere in there, the original sentence has evolved into something that barely resembles its birth certificate.So when headlines suggest tension, disagreement, or “pity,” what I hear is something simpler: different expectations colliding in a very public room with very expensive lighting.And let's be honest, photo politics matters more than people admit. A picture with a world leader is no longer just a picture. It's a signal. It's a caption waiting to be written by someone who already knows the ending they want.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

☕️ Welcome to the Wednesday Morning Edition of The Rush Hour Podcast! Today we're unpacking a wild mix of global headlines and political drama: ⛽ Texans face gas rationing concerns as supply disruptions spark anxiety at the pump.

This episode unpacks the unique challenges faced by women leaders, their contributions to democracy, and the critical lessons they offer in the fight against authoritarianism.   Enter the CFR book giveaway by July 8, 2026, for the chance to win one of ten free copies of Women in Power by Linda Robinson. You can read the terms and conditions of the offer here.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: Linda Robinson, Senior Fellow for Women and Foreign Policy, CFR; Author, Women in Power: Fighting for Democracy in an Age of Authoritarianism   We Discuss: Why women's political representation has stalled at roughly 27 percent in the world's legislatures. How right-wing authoritarianism and the normalization of violent misogyny have combined to create ferocious headwinds for women in politics. Whether women govern differently from men, and what the research reveals about their attentiveness to health, education, welfare, and climate issues. Why rolling back women's rights is central to authoritarian and right-wing movements, and why playing the "misogyny card" proves so effective, even among women voters. Why some of the most prominent nationalist movements—in Italy, France, and Germany—are led by women, and how right-leaning figures like Giorgia Meloni complicate the picture. How authoritarian governments use hybrid warfare and gendered disinformation against women leaders, including Chinese campaigns against Taiwan's Tsai Ing-wen and Russian campaigns against Moldova's Maia Sandu. Which common themes emerge among successful women leaders. Which policy reforms could strengthen both democracy and women's political participation.   Mentioned on the Episode:   Linda Robinson, Women in Power: Fighting for Democracy in an Age of Authoritarianism, Columbia University Press   Sanna Marin, Hope in Action: A Memoir About the Courage to Lead, Scribner   “Freedom in the World 2026: The Growing Shadow of Autocracy,” Freedom House   “Expanding Representation: Reinventing Congress for the 21st Century,” American Academy of Arts and Sciences   “TAKE IT DOWN Act (S.146),” U.S. Congress   “The Digital Services Act,” European Commission   “First Five,” HBO Max   For an episode transcript and show notes, visit The President's Inbox at: https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/presidents-inbox/women-in-power   Opinions expressed on The President's Inbox are solely those of the host or guests, not of CFR, which takes no institutional positions on matters of policy.

Dries Van Noten's lifelong fascination with craft and making runs deep. He grew up in a multigenerational family of retailers and tailors in Antwerp, and in the 1980s, he was part of the famed avant-garde Antwerp Six group of Belgian fashion designers. From 1986 to 2024, across 38 years and 129 runway shows, Van Noten built one of fashion's most admired independent houses. Since stepping away from the helm of his namesake label two years ago, he has turned his attention to establishing the Fondazione Dries Van Noten in Venice, Italy. Set within the 15th-century Palazzo Pisani Moretta on the Grand Canal, his newly opened foundation is dedicated to craft in its broadest sense—bringing together artists, designers, makers, and thinkers across disciplines and generations. Its debut exhibition, “The Only True Protest Is Beauty,” on view through Oct. 4, features a playful, eclectic assemblage of striking works from the worlds of haute couture, jewelry, photography, art, design, ceramics, and glass.  For this “site-specific” episode of Time Sensitive, our Season 13 finale, Spencer meets up with Van Noten inside his foundation to discuss his lifelong fascination with making; beauty as an essential force in one's life; and his conviction that, in our frenzied, fragmented world, craft offers a gateway to greater meaning and human connection. Special thanks to our Season 13 presenting partner, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.

Hour 1 opens with Hollywood discussing his upcoming trip to Italy, international travel experiences, and plans for Dolphins training camp before the focus shifts to sports. The guys react to the latest fallout from the Heat's acquisition of Giannis Antetokounmpo, including questions about Jaylen Brown's relationship with the Celtics after Boston's failed pursuit of the superstar. The conversation then turns to Brendan Sorsby, whose NFL hopes take a major hit after the league announces there will be no Supplemental Draft this year, effectively forcing him to wait until 2027 to enter the NFL. Joe, Hollywood, and Omar debate whether the NFL intentionally avoided the controversy, how much Sorsby's gambling issues have damaged his draft stock, and whether any team will still be willing to take a chance on him in the future. The hour wraps with a fun discussion comparing over-the-top sports parents to dance parents and the pressures that come with youth competition.

‘The beautiful game has never looked more beautiful on the pitch, or more ugly off it,' Simon Skinner writes in the latest LRB. Each World Cup seems more tainted by corruption than the last, but is that a nostalgic illusion? The second competition, held in Italy in 1934, was a podium for Mussolini and, as Skinner puts it, ‘an early advertisement of the tournament's potential service to politically repressive hosts' that has continued through the years to Russia 2018, Qatar 2022 and the ‘Fifa-MAGA pageant' of 2026. In this episode Simon Skinner and Natasha Chahal join Tom to talk about the long relationship between football and politics and why Roberto Baggio can offer us no consolation.

You might imagine that if you were born and raised on the island of Murano in Italy, with forefathers and relatives immersed in glass for generations, that one would have a mighty head start in becoming a famous glass artist. But in many ways, these connections make the goal of establishing an original voice as a glassblower a hefty challenge indeed. The artist in question would have big shoes to fill. Davide Salvadore strives for perfection in his work, surpassing the simple notion of glassblowing as a job and entering into the realm of passion, artistry and service to the material. His incarnations reveal his unique perspective on the world, alive with memories of the past, reactions to the present and hope for the future. This original voice attracted the attention of Bill Traver, Traver Gallery, Seattle, who was instrumental in supporting and exhibiting the Italian artist's work. "I have a great deal of respect for the artists of Murano, and for Davide Salvadore's heritage as part of a distinguished lineage of Venetian glassworkers," said Traver. "Davide is a truly amazing individual; he was raised amidst centuries-old traditions, yet is extremely forward thinking in his own work and his ideas about how glass can be used as a sculptural medium. His adaptation of techniques, as well as equipment, to create one-of-a-kind sculptural work unlike anything else made on the island is inspiring. His efforts, throughout the years, to cultivate and promote the appreciation of glass art on Murano and to share his passion for glass with future generations through his teaching are equally inspirational. In my opinion, it is exactly this kind of inventiveness, openness and enthusiasm that will help Murano maintain its position as the heart of the international glass community." Dating back to the 1700s, Salvadore is the 11th generation on his mother's side, credited with creating glass pieces. The first of this lineage were the Rosetto brothers whose works dated to 1721 for a Piedmontese princess. At a young age, Salvadore began following his grandfather, Antonio Mantoan, into the furnaces of Murano, first learning how to build the kilns and later working in the studios of Alfredo Barbini, who is often recognized as the ultimate glassmaker of Murano. Later, he worked as a glassblower in multiple well-known glass studios, learning from each and improving his abilities. In 1978 he began producing lampworked beads in his mother Anna Mantoan's jewelry studio, which she sold to Yves St. Laurent and other couture houses as well as to African merchants. With his mother's encouragement, Salvadore developed his own personal style of making lampworked beads, and these beads are still featured as part of his sculptural pieces today; a tribute to his mother's talent and support. In 1987, he opened his own studio, Campagnol & Salvadore, where he continued doing lampwork and further developed his glassblowing expertise and talent. In 1998, Salvadore made a conscious decision to turn away from traditional functional glass work. At approximately the same time, he began demonstrating his unique murrine technique at Corning Museum of Glass, Pilchuck Glass School, Pratt Fine Art Center, and others in the United States. It was then that he was introduced to the American Studio Glass movement, which Salvadore embraced. As a result of his ingenuity and the inventiveness of his creations, the artist's glass design became instantly noteworthy. In 2012, Salvadore founded his own studio, Salvadore SRL, where he continues to work today with his two sons, Marco and Mattia in Murano. Davide is a founding member of Centro Studio Vetro, a Muranese nonprofit association that aims to promote the culture and art of glass. After demoing at GAS Corning last week, Salvadore taught Mastering Muranese Magic at the Corning Museum of Glass, from June 8 – 14. Currently, Salvadore creates passionately expressive one-of-a-kind sculptures that push the boundaries of centuries-old traditions. He combines traditional Italian techniques and elements in innovative ways in his work, which reflects diverse influences such as African tribal imagery, Muranese roads, and the smokestacks of glasshouses.

 On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy break down Donald Trump's stunning reversal on Iran after months of bluster, as his regime quietly unfreezes billions in Iranian funds and issues sweeping sanctions relief on Iranian oil and petrochemicals. They also unpack the increasingly bizarre spectacle unfolding in Washington, where Trump is blaming "Antifa" for allegedly throwing feces into the algae-infested Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool of his own making, while undercover officers arrest people for simply touching the water. Plus, the brothers cover major international developments, including political upheaval in the United Kingdom, Trump's escalating attacks on key U.S. allies including the UK, Italy, and NATO, high-stakes diplomacy involving the Gulf states, Iran, and Oman, and Ukraine's latest offensive operations deep inside Russia.

As Edwina took pains to lay low in Malta after the scandals of her affairs, Italy decided to exit the League of Nations and invade Ethiopia. To protect their children, she took them to Budapest and installed them in a hotel with their nanny and governess... and then forgot which hotel they were in. For months. As the summer of 1935 turned to fall, and then winter, they just stayed in their hotel until Edwina finally came across the paper she'd written the hotel's name on, tucked into the pocket of an outfit she hadn't worn in a while. Careless people. But then World War II came, and with so much asked of ordinary Britons, the privileged were required to step up. For perhaps the first time in her life, the skills and networking that Edwina had spent her life developing could suddenly be applied to a grand purpose: fundraising, organizing, lobbying for help in the United States. Louis was in the fight as a Naval officer, but Edwina was equally engaged, and the experience brought them together as never before. They would have further adventures together in India, overseeing the end of the Colonial period there, and form a distinct attachment to Indian Prime Minister Nehru that would last to the end of her life in 1960.

President Trump just went scorched earth on Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after a major G7 dispute exploded into the open.According to Trump, Meloni repeatedly wanted a photo with him at the G7 while Italy refused to fully back America's position on Iran and would not allow the use of Italian landing strips or runways. Trump's message was blunt: after America handled business, she wanted to be friends again — and his answer was “No thanks.”Meloni is now firing back, calling Trump's photo-op claim fabricated and saying Italy does not beg. Italy's Foreign Minister reportedly canceled a U.S. trip as the diplomatic fight escalates.This is bigger than one photo. This is about NATO, Iran, America First foreign policy, and whether America should keep carrying allies who refuse to step up when it matters.Trump's message is simple: no more being taken for a ride.Drop your thoughts below: Was Trump right to call out Italy and Meloni, or did this go too far?Subscribe for more breaking political reaction, America First commentary, and viral news breakdowns.For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez✅ Reach out to me: https://bio.site/professornez✅ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/✅ Check out our Official Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@professornezclips▶ Support the Channel and Buy us a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/professornezEducational Commentary & Original AnalysisThis channel presents educational, lecture-style analysis created by a university professor and educator.

Ever wondered what it takes to coach stars like Chris Rock and Penelope Cruz? Join us for a conversation with Michelle Danner, the legendary acting coach and director, as she shares her journey from a French castle to the heights of Hollywood. We welcome back Michelle Danner to discuss her latest cinematic achievements and her unique approach to the craft of acting. Michelle dives deep into her upbringing in Paris as the daughter of a William Morris Agency executive and explains how those early experiences shaped her artistic vision. We explore her famous Golden Box technique, which empowers actors to find their own unique voice by blending various traditional methods rather than sticking to a single dogma. Michelle also gives us a behind the scenes look at her recent films, including the romantic comedy Under the Stars and the heartfelt family story The Italians. She shares touching stories about working with icons like Donald Sutherland and Andy Garcia, as well as the joy of collaborating with her son on upcoming projects like Starstruck.

Gianni Versace was the Italian fashion designer who turned bold prints, bare skin, and celebrity culture into a global empire. From his mother's seamstress studio in southern Italy, he rose to dress everyone from Princess Diana to Tupac Shakur, building a brand that generated over $800 million in annual sales by the mid-1990s. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Gianni's creative journey from small-town Calabria to the top of the fashion world, while introducing the man who would destroy it all: Andrew Cunanan, a 27-year-old con artist whose carefully constructed life of lies was collapsing around him. As Gianni settled into his Miami Beach mansion at the height of his influence, Andrew bought a one-way ticket to Minneapolis, where two men who trusted him were about to pay for it with their lives.Head over to our Murder True Crime Stories YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@MurderTrueCrimeStoriesJoin Crime House+ to binge a special limited series on Murder: True Crime Stories for America's 250th: The Crimes That Built America.

Trump is so embarrassed by his own personal vandalism of the Reflecting Pool that he's got the Justice Department investigating his latest conspiracy about bad guys that don't exist. Of course Fox News is happy to oblige by menacing journalists who dared to report on the damage POTUS did to the national monument. Meanwhile, Vance's Catholic conversion story is almost more fake than Trump's tough stance against the Iranian regime. Plus, Tulsi has been under the sway of a cult leader, Italy's Meloni is a pleasant surprise, Brexit was stupid and ruined the political careers of British prime ministers, and the World Cup is the perfect patriotic antidote to Trumpism.Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.show notes Monday's "Morning Shots" Tim's and JVL's live reading from Vance's new book Clip from Douthat's interview with JD George Packer's piece, "The Talented Mr. Vance" Jon Swaine's reporting on Tulsi (gift)

In this episode, Stephanie and the crew dive into the chaotic aftermath of Trump's latest diplomatic blunders, particularly regarding Iran. With Trump boasting about a new deal that seems to mirror Obama's policies, the team hilariously dissects the absurdity of his claims, including a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. They also discuss the fallout from Trump's threats during negotiations, which have left U.S. relations with allies like Italy in shambles.

Keir Starmer's surprise resignation announcement kicks off another wild news cycle as Britain faces mounting pressure over the grooming gangs scandal and growing concerns about the future of Europe. Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu outlines Israel's security plans, JD Vance discusses the latest technical negotiations with Iran in Switzerland, and Donald Trump blasts The New York Times while threatening to expand his lawsuit.The conversation then turns to Tucker Carlson, his relationship with JD Vance, and his increasingly controversial comments, including explosive accusations involving Charlie Kirk.

Today's Headlines: Oh boy, what a weekend! Trump deployed the National Guard to the reflecting pool, where they arrested a 67-year-old former Olympic cyclist who stopped during a bike ride and touched the water to feel the liner — charging him with destruction of government property. Trump posted that "multiple individuals" were arrested for vandalism and threatened "years in jail." The algae situation is now worse than ever, and we now know that the no-bid contract was awarded to a company owned by a Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago member named John Cafaro whose firm Greenwater Services was clearly not equipped for the job. Trump also got into a feud with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after claiming she "begged" him for a photo at the G7, which Italy responded to by canceling a planned state visit and Meloni posting a video saying "Italy and I do not beg," and Trump doubled down anyway. He also posted a photo of a random woman captioned "great daughter, my honor!!" who turned out to be a Clinton-era businesswoman whose actual daughter is the chairwoman of the Manhattan Republican Party. On the war beat, less than a day after signing the memorandum of understanding, US intelligence warned Trump that Netanyahu would likely undermine the deal — which he immediately did by continuing strikes in Lebanon, prompting Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz again. JD Vance made it to Switzerland for negotiations on Sunday with Tweedles Dee & Dum (Kushner & Witkoff), and Trump promptly torpedoed the meeting by posting threats of "harder strikes" against Iran while it was actively happening, causing Iran to walk out and demand an apology. As of Sunday night talks were back on, and Trump announced that if everything falls apart he's blaming JD Vance. The Pentagon also told Congress it needs $80 billion to cover the cost of the Iran war and replenish depleted ammunition supplies, Republicans need 60 Senate votes to pass it, and it's not looking great. Meanwhile, the Qatar-gifted $400 million plane has completed modifications and is ready to join Trump's Air Force One rotation, and the DOJ refused in a court filing to put in writing that they won't create the Traitor Fund, calling a written promise "unnecessary" because they already said so verbally, which is exactly what someone planning to do it anyway would say.

Israel's wars in the Middle East have become a wedge issue in several congressional campaigns, especially in New York, where establishment Democrats are trying to fend off more progressive challengers backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. We discuss the impact Israel's wars are having on these key primary races with The New York Times' Benjamin Oreskes. And, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says President Trump is making up a story that she "begged" him for a photo at the G7 Summit in France last week. The rift could break up one of Trump's closest alliances in Europe. Federiga Bindi, who served as a senior advisor to Italy's then-Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, joins us to discuss what this means for Italy-U.S. relations.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
