With the fiscal year mostly over, hundreds of millions of dollars in health-related grants approved by Congress still have not reached their designated recipients, with the Trump administration again delaying distribution. Meanwhile, on the fourth anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that allowed states to ban abortion, the number of abortions in the U.S. is actually rising. Maya Goldman of Axios, Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine, and Rachana Pradhan of KFF Health News join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The Washington Post's “Tennessee To Restrict Medical Aid for Critically Ill Undocumented Children,” by Silvia Foster-Frau. Maya Goldman: Stat's “Trump Administration Targets Disability Integration Mandate in DOJ Memo,” by O. Rose Broderick. Rachana Pradhan: KFF Health News' “Arrests of Immigrant Parents Create Mental Health Crisis for Children,” by Claudia Boyd-Barrett. Joanne Kenen: The Washington Post's “Why Trump's Algae Problem Is Much Bigger Than the Reflecting Pool,” by Sarah Kaplan.

Something strange is hiding inside five Old Testament books — and it maps almost exactly onto what's happening in America right now. Lance Wallnau calls it the Chaos Code: a biblical framework for decoding this moment in history, built from the same prophetic hyperlinks that predicted Israel's return to the land in 1948 and the rise of Cyrus in ancient Persia. What if the chaos isn't random? What if it's written? In this episode, Lance unpacks the pattern God has used throughout history to raise up unlikely leaders, restore broken nations, and position his people at the gates of culture — and why that same pattern is playing out right now in real time. In this episode: * The Chaos Code explained — what Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Haggai & Zechariah reveal about today * Why Trump's rise mirrors the ancient Cyrus prophecy in Isaiah 45 — word for word * The moment Lance read that prophecy to Trump face to face, and Trump's exact response * Why Trump posted a Kim Clement "Holy Ghost and fire" prophecy on Truth Social — and the media went silent * A politician dead for 25 minutes who came back with a vision that explains the Seven Mountains * Why 70% of Trump's cabinet are born-again Christians and what they're praying for * The Seven Mountains mandate — and how to apply it in your own city starting now * Sheep nations vs. goat nations: the end-time assignment most of the church is missing * Why the shaking you're seeing is a sign of what's behind it, not what's ahead The deeper things get, the more you need a framework that holds. This is that framework. Podcast Episode 2155: The 'Chaos Code' Decoding What's Happening Right Now | don't miss this! Listen to more episodes of the Lance Wallnau Show at lancewallnau.com/podcast

Episode 397 of The Angela Box Show breaks down the California primary clown show:Steve Hilton leading on election night, then magically slipping as “late mail‑ins” trickle in.Spencer Pratt surging in LA, neck‑and‑neck with Karen Bass… until the count slows, the ballot drops begin, and the “experts” tell you it's just another “red mirage.”Universal mail‑in ballots, signature curing, helicopters dropping ballots at counting centers, and reporters getting cut off mid‑sentence.Media lectures about why Colombia can count in 2–5 hours with paper ballots and voter ID, but California “needs” three weeks and still can't tell you who won.How this is the same movie we all watched in 2020 with the swing states: stop the count, go home, come back to magical midnight ballot dumps.I also talk about:How Democrats turned a world‑class state into a Havana‑after‑1959 disaster.Why even normal Democrats in LA who voted for Spencer Pratt or Steve Hilton should be furious right now.Why Trump's DOJ and election‑fraud teams turning their focus to California could blow the whole thing open.FOLLOW & SUBSCRIBE – @AngelaBoxShow
The US-Iran-Israel war is reshaping the Middle East in real time — and most people have no idea what's actually happening. Jillian Michaels sits down with military historian and geopolitical strategist Victor Davis Hanson for an unfiltered breakdown of the crisis. Iran is threatening the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices are spiking. Hezbollah is escalating. And Donald Trump is under fire from Congress, the media, and fractures inside his own coalition. The window to prevent a wider regional war is closing fast. Is Iran capable of backing down — or is regime collapse inevitable? Has Trump strengthened or undermined American deterrence? And are we watching the beginning of World War 3 — or the final chapter of the Iranian regime? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down: Trump's Iran strategy — is it working? Iran's nuclear program and the enrichment red line Why Gulf States are quietly aligning with Israel The Israel-Hezbollah escalation timeline The conservative foreign policy civil war — Tucker vs. the hawks China and Russia's role in the crisis Campus radicalization and the mainstreaming of anti-Semitism Whether America can avoid another endless war This isn't punditry. This is the history, the military calculus, and the geopolitical architecture that will define the next decade. #VictorDavisHanson #IranWar #Trump #IsraelIran #MiddleEast #WorldWar3 #IranNuclear #Hezbollah #Netanyahu #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #Trump2026 #OilPrices #China #Russia #TuckerCarlson #MegynKelly #AntiSemitism #Israel #MilitaryHistory CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 02:45 War Powers Act Showdown 04:50 Iran's Economy in Freefall 07:45 How Modern Warfare Actually Works 11:11 Will the Iranian Regime Survive? 15:55 The Trump-Netanyahu Leaked Call 19:45 Drone Warfare Is Rewriting the Rules 22:20 Gulf States Quietly Pick a Side 26:00 Europe's Deterrence Is Already Dead 29:00 Anti-Semitism's New Home 33:15 China and Russia: Opportunity or Alliance? 42:50 The Right Is Fracturing on Foreign Policy 50:15 How the Middle East Captured American Academia 54:40 The Progressive Media Bubble 59:21 What "Neocon" Actually Means 01:03:40 The Human Rights Hypocrisy Nobody Talks About 01:07:35 Why Trump's Political Comeback Is Bulletproof Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump called the House Iran War Powers vote "meaningless." But the Constitution does not have a Trump exception. The House passed a War Powers Resolution aimed at forcing President Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from the Iran conflict or get congressional approval. Nate and Chuck break down what the War Powers Resolution actually says, why the "60 days" argument is not a blank check, and why party loyalty is not a substitute for constitutional limits.

Donald Trump promised lower prices and a stronger economy. Instead, Americans facing a devastating economic shock in the coming months. Matt Robison speaks with Anne Kim and Ira Shapiro, co-editors of Betrayed: America Didn't Vote for This, about the long-term consequences of Trump's second term, the damage to institutions, the rule of law, government competence, medical research, and democracy itself.Then Matt is joined by Lawrence Winnerman to discuss his blockbuster analysis of why rising energy costs, supply-chain disruptions, inflation pressures, and the AI economy may be setting the stage for a major economic downturn. They explore the hidden costs of the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, the growing gap between Wall Street and the real economy, and whether artificial intelligence could eliminate millions of white-collar jobs.Subscribe to Worth Knowing for independent analysis you won't find anywhere else: https://worthknowing.substack.com#Trump #Economy #Recession #Inflation #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Politics #Project2025 #Substack #WorthKnowing #LawrenceWinterman #AnneKim #IraShapiro #DonaldTrump #EconomicCrisis #WhiteCollarJobs #MiddleClass #Tariffs #Iran #StockMarket00:00 Introduction: Actions, consequences, and America's coming economic shock01:17 Why Trump won in 2024—and why many voters feel betrayed03:35 Introducing Anne Kim and Ira Shapiro04:29 The most destructive thing Trump has done06:26 DOGE, federal workforce cuts, and institutional damage08:17 Elections, democracy, and public trust10:24 What insiders say privately about Trump13:12 The assault on the rule of law15:02 Damage that may never be reversed16:10 Can America's political culture recover?18:07 Why former Trump voters are turning against him19:11 The meaning of "Betrayed"21:18 Trump's legislative legacy and the SALT deduction debate22:05 What the authors hope this book will accomplish23:17 Citizen action and political accountability24:07 Can institutional damage be repaired?25:08 Has Trump created a playbook for future presidents?26:31 The critical choice facing America in 202828:38 Transition to Lawrence Winterman29:42 The economic consequences are coming30:20 Oil tankers, inventory cushions, and delayed inflation33:19 When consumers will begin to feel the impact34:13 Why even reopening the Strait of Hormuz may not help35:18 The long-term "stupidity tax"36:32 Known consequences vs. unknown consequences37:13 AI spending, recession risks, and economic distortion39:34 AI, white-collar jobs, and the coming disruption40:16 Why the stock market is disconnected from the real economy41:11 Are tech CEOs quietly preparing for a major shift?43:04 AI layoffs and corporate adoption44:08 Could AI replace millions of white-collar jobs?45:12 Is the AI boom becoming a bubble?46:06 What AI means for writers, creators, and Substack47:18 How AI is changing work inside major corporations49:39 Could AI create more jobs than it destroys?50:25 The productivity gap explained52:33 What happens during economic transitions?53:37 Ross Perot's "giant sucking sound" revisited54:34 Trump's failure to prepare America for AI55:14 Policy ideas to soften the transition56:20 Universal basic income and other proposals57:24 Why the real problem is that we're not having the conversation58:03 The benefits—and risks—of technological progress59:14 Should AI be taxed?1:00:04 Why America may already be running out of time1:01:00 Final thoughts and next week's episode

What is Donald Trump really hiding in the Epstein files? Investigative journalist and author Greg Olear joins Matt Robison for a deep dive into the underreported connections between Jeffrey Epstein, Russian organized crime, intelligence agencies, dark money networks, and Donald Trump.Most people think the Epstein story is simply about sex trafficking. Greg argues it was much bigger than that: a sprawling global network involving money laundering, oligarchs, kompromat, intelligence operations, and some of the most powerful people in the world.Drawing from his explosive new book Another Wonderful Secret: Infrequently Asked Questions About Jeffrey Epstein, Olear explains why Trump may still be desperately trying to suppress the Epstein files — and why the real story may have less to do with sex scandals and more to do with corruption, hidden money, and geopolitical influence.This conversation explores:Epstein's role as a financial fixer and “connector”Russian mob boss Semion Mogilevich and the Russian mafia connectionRobert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell, and intelligence tiesTrump's long history with Russian money and oligarchsWhy the FBI and DOJ may still be protecting explosive informationHow kompromat and elite influence networks actually workThe hidden architecture of modern kleptocracyWhether Epstein's infrastructure still exists todayWhy this story matters for democracy itself0:00 Intro — The Epstein story most people are missing1:10 Epstein as fixer, money mover, and intelligence connector2:15 Why the Epstein files are still being suppressed3:05 America's slide toward kleptocracy3:45 Greg Olear joins the show4:25 Was Epstein more than a sex trafficker?5:20 Dalton School, Bear Stearns, and Epstein's rise8:00 The hidden importance of the 1980s8:45 Arms deals, offshore money, and intelligence agencies10:10 Ehud Barak and intelligence connections11:20 How Epstein became indispensable to powerful people14:00 Epstein's networking power and elite access15:30 Enter the Russian connection16:05 Who was Semion Mogilevich?17:15 Robert Maxwell, organized crime, and trafficking networks19:20 Why Epstein's real business may have been dirty money20:05 Trump, Russia, and 1980s money laundering21:15 Did Trump know the Maxwells earlier than reported?22:10 Trump and Epstein become intertwined23:10 Trust-washing through elite connections25:10 Why Trump's Russia ties are not really disputed26:15 Was Epstein a Russian asset?27:15 How Epstein accumulated elite secrets28:10 The scale of Epstein's financial operations29:15 Suspicious transactions and hidden wealth31:00 Kompromat and control32:15 The power Epstein gained from knowing secrets33:05 JPMorgan, Jess Staley, and financial protection35:15 What is Trump really afraid of in the Epstein files?37:00 Theories about what could still be hidden39:30 Allegations involving Trump and minors41:00 The Katie Johnson allegations explained43:10 ICE threats and intimidation patterns44:00 Does Epstein's infrastructure still exist today?45:00 Jared Kushner and modern influence networks47:00 “Coincidence theory” vs conspiracy theory48:00 Who was really calling the shots?49:00 Where does this story go next?50:15 Global authoritarianism and shifting alliances51:10 What intelligence agencies may still know52:00 Why understanding corruption matters53:15 Signs authoritarians may be hitting resistance54:20 Trump's growing political vulnerabilities55:00 Greg Olear's new book and closing thoughts
Dave Spencer and Kurt Bardella are joined by special co-host Carrie Sheffield to break down the growing backlash to Trump's proposed $1.776 billion fund, the political fallout surrounding Ken Paxton's rise inside the Republican Party, and the debate over what Democrats still are not learning from the 2024 election. Is anything in this inferred or not true or does it sound like AI: In this episode, the group debates conservative distrust of the DOJ and FBI, whether Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton is creating new divisions inside the Republican Party, and why Trump's indictments may have strengthened his support with the Republican base. They also discuss congressional gridlock, the filibuster, rising energy prices, and whether Republican divisions are making Trump's agenda harder to move through Congress. The conversation then turns to the DNC “autopsy” report, including rare agreement between Dave, Kurt, and Carrie over criticism of Democratic leadership and messaging. They also debate whether Democrats are honestly addressing mistakes like Biden staying in the race too long that contributed to Trump's return to the White House.

Author, financial analyst, and former Green Beret E.M. Burlingame joins John Odermatt to expose a 400-year-old predatory financial system — what he calls the "Financialist Kill Chain" — and argues that the same seven-step playbook used to hollow out empires throughout history is now being run on the United States. Burlingame traces the system's origins from the Praetorians of Rome through Venice, Amsterdam, and finally to the City of London, which he describes as a separate financial power occupying the Anglosphere since 1688. The conversation covers how debt, asset seizure, economic destabilization, and elite coercion have been used as weapons against civilizational peoples — and why Burlingame believes the U.S. is currently in the final phase of collapse and abandonment. He also examines why Russia and China have so far resisted the kill chain, what Trump's constraints are, and what ordinary Americans can actually do to push back. Burlingame's unique background — spanning investment analysis, algorithmic trading, Special Forces targeting, and computational engineering — gives him a rare lens to see patterns most analysts miss.

From Mar-a-Lago to the Great Hall, Trump returns to Beijing desperate for validation while Xi Jinping treats him to strategic flattery. It's the first time an American president has been to China in seven years. It deserves a podcast, although, as Trivium said, the outcomes could have been an email instead of a summit. Today's guests are Sergey Radchenko, author of To Run the World: The Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power — which won a ChinaTalk Book of the Year award and got the four-hour podcast treatment — as well as ChinaTalk regulars Kevin Xu of Interconnected and Jon Czin, formerly of the CIA and NSC, now with Brookings. Our conversation covers: Prestige politics on the cheap — How Trump's delegation gawked at Chinese architecture while Xi scored propaganda points by getting the U.S. president to fawn over Zhongnanhai's gardens — reversing decades of diplomatic protocol. The G2 that never was — Why Trump's dream of running the world with Xi echoes Nixon and Brezhnev's failed détente, and how strategic competition makes genuine cooperation impossible regardless of personal chemistry. The AI factor — As Beijing struggles with compute constraints and export controls, the US brings its AI safety dialogue proposal as its only real leverage in an otherwise empty summit. The midterm calculation — How Xi is withholding concessions until September 2026, betting that Trump will need wins most desperately right before the elections. Who's using the pause better? — While China methodically builds domestic chip capacity and refuses even approved Nvidia exports, the U.S. struggles with basic industrial policy on rare earths. song: https://suno.com/s/cwNGihewAFKpkJls Learn more about your ad choices.

She reveals why America is entering a dangerous new phase, and what happens next! Anne Applebaum is a staff writer at The Atlantic and has hosted its Autocracy in America podcast.

The global order is BREAKING in real time — and almost nobody is explaining what that actually means for you. They keep screaming that Trump is “destroying democracy,” “collapsing NATO,” and “ending the world order.” But here's the question nobody in the media wants to ask: what if the system was already failing long before Trump ever entered politics? In this bombshell episode, Jillian breaks down the slow-motion collapse of the post-WWII order that governed the world for nearly 80 years — NATO, the UN, the WTO, the IMF, the dollar system, globalization, America's manufacturing collapse, China's rise, and the growing fracture between the United States and its allies. And this is NOT abstract. If this system breaks, it hits YOUR life fast: Gas prices explode Supply chains collapse Food prices surge Mortgage rates rise Retirement accounts get crushed Semiconductor shortages cripple industries America loses leverage to China, Russia, and BRICS nations building alternatives to the dollar This episode connects the dots the political class refuses to connect: Why NATO is under more strain than at any point since the Cold War Why America's allies are starting to hedge against U.S. power Why China is preparing for a world where America no longer leads Why Taiwan could trigger an economic catastrophe worse than 2008 Why the collapse of deterrence could reshape the century Why Trump's tariff wars, Greenland push, Panama focus, and reshoring agenda may all be part of a larger strategic shift From Iraq to the 2008 financial crash… from the rise of BRICS to the unraveling of arms control treaties… from Ukraine to Iran to Taiwan… this is the story behind the story of the collapsing world order. The scariest part? Serious people in Washington, Beijing, Moscow, and Brussels no longer treat major global conflict as “unthinkable.” The rules-based order is cracking. The alliances are straining. The guardrails are weakening. And the next decade could determine whether America reforms the system… or gets buried by the collapse of it.

Anthony Scaramucci doesn't hold back. From Trump's obsession with legacy (yes, including the “ballroom” idea) to why Keir Starmer's strategy with Trump might actually be working, this is a rare insider breakdown of power, ego, and what really happens behind the scenes. Scaramucci explains: Why Trump respects King Charles — and what Americans really think of the Royal Family What the next two years of Trump actually look like (and why it could get messy) Why people around Trump say one thing publicly… and another privately The surprising reason Starmer standing up to Trump could be the right move And the brutal truth about status, ego, and chasing the wrong career He also reflects on his infamous 11 days in the White House, getting publicly destroyed, and how it changed the way he thinks about success, failure, and building a life you actually want.

Jimmy Kimmel cracked a joke about Melania Trump having "the glow of an expectant widow." Twenty-four hours later, a lunatic walked into the White House Correspondents Dinner ballroom carrying a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives. The President himself called it a "despicable call to violence" — and demanded Disney and ABC fire Kimmel immediately. Was this a coincidence — or the predictable end point of a decade of "fascist" rhetoric? Lance Wallnau breaks down the Kimmel monologue, the 24-hour timeline that followed, and the corporate pressure campaign closing in on Disney — because ABC may be wicked, but Mickey Mouse has a brand to protect. Why did Kimmel's joke land 24 hours before a man with a shotgun? In this episode: - The exact Kimmel "expectant widow" line — and Trump's full Truth Social response - Why Lance says Disney will fold even though ABC won't - The 3 assassination attempts on Trump in 2 years (and the 4th and 5th nobody's counting) - Karoline Leavitt's stunning supercut of Democrat officials calling for "war" against Trump - The Steve Turley reel: a decade of cable news calling the President a fascist - Ephesians 4:26-27 and the "demonic door" the left has walked through - Why Trump fits the Isaiah 45 Cyrus prophecy — and why that drives the left insane - Captain Seth Keshel on the Virginia referendum anomalies (150,000 mail-in ballot margin) - The Voting Rights Act ruling that could redraw the South red - Captain Seth Keshel's 39 decisive seats — and what 92 years of midterm history says about 2026 This isn't a political take. It's a pattern — and the pattern is accelerating. Podcast Episode 2105: Kimmel Said It. A Lunatic Tried It. Now Disney Has to Answer for It. | don't miss this!

Trump keeps calling our Prime Minister "Governor." That's not a joke — it's a signal. When the leader of the most powerful country on Earth treats Canada like a subsidiary, politeness isn't a strategy. It's a surrender.In this episode I break down:→ Why Trump's language reflects how Washington actually sees us→ Carney's Davos mindset vs. the hard-leverage reality we're in→ What 108,000 lost jobs, $2.6T in household debt, and 75% export dependency actually means→ Why Poilievre's Joe Rogan moment matters — and what he's still sugarcoatingRespect isn't given. It's built through clarity and action. Right now? We're losing both.⏱ Chapters below.

Donald Trump has set out a 15-point Iran peace plan, but is he serious about ending the war?With news that another 2,000 elite American troops are en route to the Middle East, Tehran has its doubts - particularly as they've been here twice before with Trump. The Telegraph's senior foreign correspondent Sophia Yan joins Venetia Rainey to talk through how realistic the proposal is and how it's being viewed in Iran. They also discuss Turkey's role as a potential mediator and the impact of the conflict on China. From the Telegraph's US bureau, editor Lottie Tiplady-Bishop explains why Vice President JD Vance is now involved in peace negotiations and how boots on the ground is a red line for Trump's MAGA base. Plus, how is the Iran war being viewed by ordinary Americans?

Building an alternative system will.John Bush joins me for a conversation that traces an unexpected journey, from political activism and grassroots organizing to a very different question: what if real freedom isn't something that can be achieved through politics at all?His early path took him deep into the world of libertarian organizing during the Ron Paul era, where he helped launch local political efforts and worked closely with activists pushing for liberty-focused legislation in Texas. But years inside that system eventually led to a realization that forced him to rethink the strategy entirely.That shift opened the door to a very different approach, one centered on building alternatives rather than trying to reform existing institutions. From alternative currencies to local food networks and decentralized communities, the conversation explores what it might look like to create systems that operate outside traditional power structures.We begin unpacking Bitcoin and cryptocurrency through simple analogies that reveal why many people see decentralized money as part of a much larger shift.If you've ever wondered whether real freedom can be built rather than granted, this episode will challenge the way you think about the path forward.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[07:38] The Karpman Drama Triangle and why the freedom movement keeps losing[18:09] How Epstein redirected the most rebellious money ever invented[25:55] Why John doesn't think the CIA created Bitcoin, and what the evidence actually shows[49:49] What the central banks saw in Bitcoin that most people missed[57:05] Why Trump winning may have been worse for freedom than Trump losing[01:10:30] Getting banned from PayPal, Stripe, and his own bank, and what it revealed[01:17:07] Is Bitcoin for wealth or for war?[01:24:14] The red flags John saw in TexCoin before it collapsed, and how to spot the next one[01:30:34] The privacy coins the government actually can't track, and why that matters now[01:39:26] What freedom tech actually works when they cut your internet access[01:53:35] The Lightning Network's custodial problem[01:59:52] From intentional community to a backyard with containersRelated The Way Forward Episodes: How to Get Out of the "Technocratic Tyranny" & Achieve Real Freedom | Derrick Broze | YouTubeBlockchain/Web3 Scam?

On today's podcast, Charlie Sykes and Matt break down how Trump's character flaws — flaws we've been warning about for 10 plus years — are now endangering everyone.Here are some key moments we cover:— Trump's Truth Social rant: Democrats top Iran as top enemy — what does this mean for half the country?— Trump celebrating Robert Mueller's death (Purple Heart vet) + hypocrisy on grief (the Charlie Kirk murder outrage)— Iran debacle: Power plant threats, Lindsey Graham's Iwo Jima fantasies, market crashes, and war crimes risks— Why Trump treats allies worse than adversaries (Denmark, Japan Pearl Harbor “joke”)— The bubble: No one tells Trump “no” — leading to miscalculations and danger— Vindication for Never Trumpers: Character IS destiny — we warned everyone in 2016!— Plus: Is Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear THE potential 2028 hope? Charlie thinks there's a chance. If you've been saying “we told you so” about Trump's impulsiveness, narcissism, and cruelty — this episode hits hard. Plus, Charlie pulls no punches on the reality of this “mad king,” and what happens if his polls keep tanking.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

Three weeks into the war on Iran, the conflict is expanding more than ever.The Strait of Hormuz is closed, energy infrastructure is under attack, and U.S. bases are increasingly vulnerable. Israel and Washington are escalating.According to Middle East expert Vali Nasr, this is actually all part of Iran's strategy.Iran isn't trying to win quickly. To “win” is to survive — and for that it wants to make the war longer, more expensive, and politically unsustainable for the United States.In this conversation with Rania Khalek, Nasr explains:-Why Trump gets weaker the longer the war extends-How energy and Hormuz became the central battlefield-What Washington fundamentally miscalculated-Why regime change is unlikely-The role of Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi factions-And whether any real off-ramp still exists-If this war continues, the consequences won't just be regional, they will be global.
Russia, Iran, U.S. troops, Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio are suddenly at the center of one of the most explosive national security questions in Washington: Is Russia helping Iran target American forces in the Middle East?New intelligence reporting suggests Moscow may be providing Iran with satellite-derived information that could help locate U.S. ships, aircraft, and troop positions. If true, it raises a stunning question: why isn't this the biggest story in American politics right now?On this episode of Political Rehab, Democrat and former congressional staffer Matt Robison and Republican campaign strategist Matt Wylie break down the biggest political and national security stories of the week.Topics include:• Reports that Russia may be helping Iran target U.S. troops• The White House's controversial “war porn” military propaganda videos• A potential national security brain drain after intelligence and national security cuts• Why Trump world may be floating Marco Rubio over JD Vance as the future of MAGA• The coming SAVE Act showdown that could trigger a congressional meltdown• The MAHA movement and RFK Jr.'s vaccine conspiracy conferencePlus our regular segments:Trump Dump – the week's most outrageous Trump storyDeep Dive – the SAVE Act fight that could paralyze CongressThat's Bullsh*t – the political claim that collapses under scrutinyDose of Hope – one reason the future might be brighter than politics suggestsIf you enjoy smart political debate between people who disagree, subscribe and join the conversation.Subscribe for new episodes of Political Rehab every week.00:00 Trump Dump Court Losses02:04 Attacking the Judiciary03:46 GOP Retreat No Agenda06:00 War Porn Propaganda08:50 Brain Drain and Intel Cuts11:34 Russia Aiding Iran14:25 Rubio vs Vance Signals16:52 Save Act and Spineless GOP18:23 Gas Prices Midterm Gamble20:23 Economic Warning Signs21:33 Save Act Deep Dive22:32 Phantom Fraud Evidence23:39 Why GOP Pushes It26:25 Will It Backfire27:28 Inside Republican Thinking30:16 A Possible Compromise32:25 Why Save Act Fails35:39 MAHA Called Out36:19 Vaccine Slide Nonsense39:53 Glyphosate Hypocrisy41:50 Dose of Hope Science43:38 Courts Holding The Line45:39 Closing Thoughts
Macro trends blogger and economist David Woo, CEO of David Woo Unbound and co-author of the upcoming financial thriller Merry Go Round Broke Down, returns to the show to break down the geopolitical and market implications of the US-Iran conflict. Woo argues that markets are dangerously mispricing the situation, betting either on a quick Trump "TACO" or a rapid US victory — both of which he sees as unlikely. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, oil sitting near $100 a barrel, and Iran executing a measured, strategic response, Woo believes this conflict is far more protracted than Wall Street is pricing. He explains why Trump, now effectively a lame duck after the Supreme Court's tariff ruling, is unlikely to back down given the enormous legacy stakes, and why China's deep investment in Iran makes this the first real US-China proxy war. Woo also breaks down the winners and losers globally, shares his current positioning — short stocks, long oil — and warns that an interaction between rising oil prices, the AI bubble, and private credit stress could be the perfect storm markets aren't prepared for.Links: Book: https://www.amazon.com/Merry-Go-Round-Broke-Down-Novel-Globalization/dp/B0GCX8Y6KTYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidWooUnbound Website: https://www.davidwoounbound.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/Davidwoounbound00:00 Introduction00:43 Setting the geopolitical stage01:16 Why markets are dangerously complacent03:34 Why Trump won't TACO this time05:50 Trump's legacy shift — why Iran, why now07:48 Iran's military capabilities — what the US hasn't destroyed10:14 Oil at $95 — what's actually priced in12:47 The Strait of Hormuz and what markets are missing15:11 Can the Fed cut rates at $100 oil?16:00 Retail investors driving the market higher17:56 Global recession risk19:57 Winners and losers — Canada, Russia, Europe, Japan20:27 Why the midterms are almost irrelevant now24:41 Base case — Trump loses the House26:00 Why Trump is moving on Iran before lame duck sets in28:09 Regime change and the greatest presidential legacy29:55 China-Iran railroad and the real proxy war31:24 Can the US control the Strait of Hormuz?33:00 The Houthis playbook 35:15 UAE under attack — interceptors running out37:04 Iran's civilization and strategic depth39:12 David's positions — short stocks, long oil40:42 When will markets wake up?43:21 Most likely outcome — civil war not regime change45:11 What Xi Jinping is thinking right now47:03 Is this worth the risk for the US?49:43 The Pearl Harbor analogy and China's Belt and Road52:39 Gold, crowded trades getting blown out55:38 Private credit, the AI bubble and the perfect storm58:44 What's keeping David up at night — AI01:03:07 David's book — Merry Go Round Broke Down
