Bill talks with national security analyst Joe Cirincione about Trump's shifting claims on Iran and argues the Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) functions as a ceasefire and “surrender document” after a war the U.S. and Israel could not win. Cirincione says the MOU mainly restores shipping through the Strait of Hormuz while leaving core U.S. objectives—curbing Iran's uranium enrichment and missile forces—unmet and deferred to talks, and he notes Trump's renewed threats violate the pledge to refrain from force or threats of force. He contrasts the deal with the JCPOA, the Obama Nuclear Deal, saying Trump lifts broader sanctions than the JCPOA, allows Iran to sell oil, and leaves Iran geopolitically stronger, with demonstrated leverage over the strait and Gulf economies. They discuss costs rising from Pentagon estimates to broader economic impacts, Netanyahu's (and Trump's) massive miscalculation and political fallout here and in Israel. Jared Kushner's role and conflicts, and broader alliance strains including NATO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

American “hardliners” opposing the US–Iran memorandum of understanding, are being accused of selectively trusting Iranian state-linked messaging while dismissing diplomatic progress. Details of the agreement remain incomplete. Vice President JD Vance is saying sanctions relief and un-freezing assets would be conditioned on Iran's follow-through in upcoming technical talks over the next two months. Responses are mixed: hardliners inside Iran are protesting, some US and Israeli critics warn of risks, while other international leaders call the deal a potential game-changer. We will talk about it with John Rothmann.

Just weeks after threatening Iran with devastating consequences, President Trump is preparing to sign a new agreement with Tehran - a dramatic shift that is raising questions across Washington, Jerusalem and the wider Middle East. The proposed deal would see US and Iranian officials continue negotiations over Tehran's nuclear programme, despite concerns from critics that many of the key issues which sparked the conflict remain unresolved. Meanwhile, tensions are growing between the White House and Israel, with reports that Israeli officials were not involved in the negotiations despite the agreement's potential implications for the conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Trump's increasingly critical rhetoric towards Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has only fuelled speculation about a widening rift between the two allies. As the agreement divides both Trump's supporters and his critics, scrutiny is mounting over whether the deal represents a diplomatic breakthrough - or a major concession to Iran. Piers Morgan is joined by General Mark Kimmitt, US Army veteran and Assistant Secretary of State, Lieutenant Colonel Chuck De Vore, former US Army intelligence officer, Hagar Chemali, foreign policy analyst and former Bush and Biden official, Cenk Uygur, founder and CEO of The Young Turks, and Brian Tyler-Cohen, host of No Lie to discuss.

Bill talks with legal scholar and former U.S. attorney Barbara McQuade about her book, "The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government," arguing that core democratic principles—rule of law and equality before the law—are eroding under Donald Trump. McQuade describes Trump's tactics as extortionate and mob-like, pressuring institutions such as law firms, media, universities, and allies, and warns that Congress has failed to check executive overreach while the Supreme Court's shadow docket and unitary-executive approach can enable it. She says DOJ independence has been damaged by political payback efforts and cites examples of alleged lawbreaking and self-dealing, including tariffs, Iran action, emoluments-style profiteering, and a proposed tax-related settlement. McQuade outlines “fixes” including restoring DOJ norms, extending ethics rules, and structural reforms like ranked-choice voting, independent redistricting, and overturning Citizens United, emphasizing elections and accountability, including reviving the election-interference case after Trump leaves office.

Riots have erupted in Belfast after a Sudanese refugee was accused of carrying out a knife attack that left a victim with life-changing injuries. As tensions rise, questions are being asked about the role of social media and whether Elon Musk is helping to inflame divisions from thousands of miles away. In Texas, Karmelo Anthony has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder of a fellow teenager. The case sparked fierce debate after supporters raised hundreds of thousands of dollars on his behalf. Why did so many people rally behind a convicted killer? Meanwhile, reality TV star and internet personality Spencer Pratt has seen his bid to become Mayor of Los Angeles come to an abrupt end. But was the result fair, or does he have grounds to claim the race was "rigged"? And after being booed by fans at a New York Knicks game, President Donald Trump can expect a very different atmosphere this weekend when the UFC heads to the White House. Joining Piers Morgan to debate is political commentator and broadcaster with UFC, Charly Arnolt, former White House Press Secretary and host of the Sean Spicer Show, Sean Spicer, executive producer & host of The Young Turks, Ana Kasparian, Guardian Angels founder & former candidate for New York Mayor, Curtis Sliwa, and podcaster and Democrat influencer, Harry Sisson.

Guest host Joe Cirincione interviews nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein about his book The Most Awful Responsibility: Truman and the Secret Struggle for Control of the Atomic Age, revisiting the run-up to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the postwar fight between nuclear hawks and doves over who should control nuclear weapons. Wellerstein argues there was no single “decision” to use the bomb—plans were already underway under military control, Truman was largely excluded and poorly briefed, and he may not have known a second bomb was coming. After Nagasaki, Truman asserted presidential control to halt further use, motivated by horror at civilian casualties. They discuss debates over whether the bombings ended the war and Truman's moral framing of nuclear weapons. The events of the past have clear echoes in today's nuclear policy debates, and the dispute over Iran's nuclear program and who is telling the truth about Iran's nuclear ambitions.You can check out his Nuke Map at nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

nternationale Talk Show “Piers Morgan Uncensored“ geht im Internet viralEin Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Die Diskussionsrunde „Piers Morgan Uncensored“ ist nicht nur im anglo-amerikanischen Sprachraum bekannt und millionenfach abonniert, sondern weit darüber hinaus auch auf Youtube zu sehen. In einer der hitzigsten Folgen der „Show“ seit Beginn des unprovozierten, völkerrechtswidrigen US-israelischen Angriffskriegs gegen Iran lieferten sich die Gäste einen offenen Schlagabtausch über die Rolle Amerikas im Nahost-Konflikt.Neben dem britischen Moderator Piers Morgan nahmen die bekannte US-amerikanische Kommentatorin Ana Kasparian von „The Young Turks“, der pensionierte US-General Mark Kimmitt, der israelische Armeesprecher Jonathan Conricus, der ehemalige israelische Ministerpräsident Naftali Bennett und der in anti-imperialistischen Kreisen hochgeschätzte investigative Journalist Glenn Greenwald an der Zoom-Diskussion teil. Das Thema: die jüngsten US-Militärschläge gegen den Iran und die Frage, ob amerikanische Soldaten erneut für fremde Interessen verheizt werden.Während General Kimmitt und der zionistische Kriegshetzer Johnathan Conricus die US-Kriegsbeteiligung als notwendige Verteidigung gegen angebliche iranische Bedrohungen darstellten, legten Ana Kasparian und Glenn Greenwald den Finger auf die realen Kosten: Auf die menschlichen Opfer des Krieges, die bereits gefallenen US-Soldaten miteigeschlossen, und die Gefahr eines weiteren endlosen Krieges im Nahen Osten.Der Moment, an dem die Diskussion im Internet millionenfach viral ging, war der direkte Zusammenstoß zwischen Ana Kasparian und General Kimmitt einerseits und Greenwalds bravouröse, systematische Demontage des offiziellen Narrativs andererseits. Er erinnerte u.a. daran, dass die USA bereits in Irak und Afghanistan Tausende Soldaten verloren hatten – Kriege, die ebenfalls stark von israelischen Interessen mitgeprägt waren. Seine ruhige, faktenbasierte Art bildete einen starken Kontrast zu ex-General Kimmitts emotionaler Abwehr und der Hasbarah des israelischen Armeesprecher Conricus.Zu dem direkten emotionalen Zusammenstoß zwischen der progressiven, anti-war Ana Kasparian und General Kimmitt kam es, nachdem Kimmitt die Kasparian beschuldigt hatte, sie benutze „tropes“ über die jüngst im Krieg gegen Iran gefallenen US-Soldaten, um ihre Kritik an der US-Unterstützung für Israel zu untermauern. „Ana, please quit using the tropes on American soldiers. I've had to bury seven American soldiers“ (Ana, bitte hör auf, diese Tropes über amerikanische Soldaten zu benutzen. Ich musste sieben amerikanische Soldaten begraben) sagte Kimmitt sichtlich gereizt. Kasparian ließ ihn jedoch nicht davonkommen.Zum besseren Verständnis eine kurze Erklärung, was mit einem „Trope“ gemeint ist: In politischen Debatten wird das Wort fast immer als hämisches Grinsen verwendet: Es soll andeuten, dass die geäußerte Idee keinen Anspruch auf Ernsthaftigkeit hat, sondern in die Kategorie klischeehafter, manipulativer oder verschwörerischer Narrative gehört. Hier hat General Kimmitt den Begriff „Trope“ als Waffe eingesetzt, um Ana Kasparians Punkt zu delegitimieren, bevor der überhaupt debattiert werden konnte....https://apolut.net/greenwald-und-kasparian-enttarnen-propaganda-der-kriegstreiber-von-rainer-rupp/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we examine the opening moves of the Ottoman Empire's war against Britain – a desperate, audacious campaign to seize the Suez Canal that has been largely forgotten but which revealed the fragility of the British Empire and the resilience of the Ottoman army.At the outbreak of the First World War, the Ottoman Empire saw itself surrounded by enemies: the British in Egypt, the Russians to the north, a hostile Habsburg Empire to the west, and a recently hostile Italy in the Mediterranean. The Young Turk government initially hoped to stay out of the war. But when they looked at Britain, France, and Russia, they saw voraciously hungry powers intent on dismembering their empire. Germany offered a security guarantee – unreliable, but the best available.The German High Command placed a high priority on cutting the Suez Canal. Between August and December 1914, 376 transport ships carried nearly 164,000 Allied troops through the canal. It was the vital artery connecting the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean – the lifeline of Britain's Asian empire. If the Ottomans could pinch it off, they could deal Britain a mortal blow and perhaps inspire a pan‑Islamic jihad against British rule.The man chosen to lead the attack was Cemal Pasha. In November 1914, he stood in Istanbul's central train station and publicly proclaimed his intention to conquer Egypt. The British dismissed his pledge as empty rhetoric. They did not believe he could raise an army large enough or cross the waterless, hostile Sinai desert.But Cemal assembled a heterogeneous, multi‑ethnic force – regular soldiers from the Arab provinces, volunteers from Bedouin, Druze, Circassian, Kurdish, Albanian, and even Jewish communities. He wrote to the Sharif of Mecca, Hussein ibn Ali, asking for troops under one of his sons. Hussein's son Ali went no further than Medina – a warning sign Cemal chose to ignore.Against all odds, Cemal's force marched across the Sinai in 12 days, losing neither a man nor a beast. They carried light rations of dates, biscuit, and olives, water carefully rationed, marching through the freezing nights and resting by day. British aerial surveillance initially failed to detect them – early aircraft lacked the range to reach central Sinai.By late January 1915, the British realised the impossible was happening. They withdrew all troops to the western shore of the canal, chained guard dogs on the east bank, and waited. The odds were stacked against the Ottomans – 25,000 attackers against 50,000 dug‑in defenders, backed by warships, armoured trains, and the canal itself. But Cemal had achieved surprise. What happened next would shape the course of the war in the Middle East.Drawing on Eugene Rogan's *The Fall of the Ottomans*, this episode explores the political context of the Ottoman decision to enter the war, the challenges of mobilising a multi‑ethnic army, the incredible logistics of the Sinai crossing, and the early use of aerial reconnaissance in desert warfare.**Topics covered:**- The Ottoman Empire's strategic dilemma in 1914- The alliance with Germany and the promise of jihad- The importance of the Suez Canal to the British war effort- Cemal Pasha and his public proclamation- The composition of the Ottoman expeditionary force- Sharif Hussein's reluctant cooperation- The 12‑day march across the Sinai- British aerial reconnaissance and its limitations- The defence of the canal: warships, armoured trains, and guard dogs- The moment of surprise before the attack---*If you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

Guest host Joe Cirincione interviews David Rothkopf. Rothkopf is the host of the Deep State Radio podcast. He is also Chief Global Affairs Columnist at the Daily Beast and was formerly the editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy magazine. He has taught at Columbia, Georgetown and Johns Hopkins universities. He was the Deputy Undersecretary of Commerce in the Clinton Administration and is the author of ten books including, most recently, Traitor: A History of Betraying America from Benedict Arnold to Donald Trump. His newsletter "Need to Know" is available at davidrothkopf.substack.com. Cirincione talks with Rothkopf about what he calls the unfolding catastrophe of Trump's war on Iran, arguing the U.S. has repeatedly failed in Southwest Asia and that this conflict has achieved neither tactical nor strategic objectives, while causing greater-than-reported damage to U.S. bases and eroding trust in military and government accounts. Rothkopf says the war has weakened U.S. alliances, empowered Iran, Russia, and China, and further damaged America's global standing, while also tying U.S. policy to an increasingly destabilizing Israeli government. The conversation then shifts to domestic consequences, with Rothkopf alleging Trump has monetized the presidency through pervasive corruption, including favors, pardons, and an IRS-related settlement he calls theft from the Treasury. Rothkopf remains hopeful but warns against complacency, argues accountability and progress are linked, and urges resistance ahead of 2026 elections.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bill interviews former Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander about his memoir, The Education of a Senator: From JFK to Trump, and the Senate's decline from bipartisan, amendment-driven lawmaking to today's gridlock. Alexander criticizes Republican senators for failing to check abuses of presidential authority, argues Trump's purges of GOP incumbents risk costing him a Senate majority, and calls a DOJ compensation fund for January 6 participants “Trump suing Trump” and an outrage, given assaults on Capitol Police. He contrasts Senate pushback in Trump's first term with silence in the second, including cuts affecting USAID/PEPFAR and NIH research. Alexander says January 6 undermined the Constitution, praises public service as the best way to help people, prefers being governor to senator, and expresses confidence in America's resilience.You can buy his book from Bookshop.org here.

Bill Press interviews USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page about her book, "The Queen and Her Presidents," exploring how Queen Elizabeth II helped sustain the U.S.-U.K. “special relationship” through soft power over her 70-year reign. Page recounts the Queen's meetings with 13 sitting U.S. presidents (plus Herbert Hoover and pre-presidency LBJ), including Truman steadying a nervous young Princess Elizabeth; her reverence for Eisenhower; a complicated early dynamic with the Kennedys; LBJ's refusal to visit amid Vietnam tensions; Nixon's fascination with royal pageantry and his thwarted desire for a state dinner during Watergate; Reagan's bond with her over horses and later knighthood; the “talking hat” mishap with George H.W. Bush; Clinton-era distrust over British file searches; George W. Bush's teasing cowboy-boot moment; the Obama-Michelle protocol “touch” incident; and Trump pressing her about her favorite president. Page argues the Queen, highly briefed and shrewd, quietly smoothed crises (Suez, Ghana, Falklands) and preserved long-term ties.Get "The Queen and Her Presidents" book here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-queen-and-her-presidents-the-hidden-hand-that-shaped-history-susan-page/065fc3604a68c142?ean=9780063397392&next=tSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Piers Morgan covers the two rallies making headlines in Britain this weekend that both caused their fair share of controversy - plus some head-scratching over their turnouts. Tommy Robinson touted his Unite The Kingdom march as ‘the biggest event in British history' - police say about 50,000 attended - but it wasn't even the biggest event in London this weekend, given that 84,000 people went to the FA Cup final at Wembley. And there was some equally creative accounting going on a mile away at the rival march in support of Palestine. MP Zara Sultana said she was “proud to join 250 thousand people” at the Nakba rally, which police say was attended by 20,000. Piers Morgan is joined by The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur, Politics Joe's political editor Ava Santina, political commentator Don Keith, who was barred from entering the UK to attend Robinson's rally and Sintish, also known as Based & Bougie, who attended the Unite the Kingdom rally and had some choice words to say about Piers there… Then; former lieutenant colonel and spokesman for the IDF Jonathan Conricus is a regular on Uncensored - and for the first time joins us in our studios to debate British-Palestinian journalist and activist Kieran Andrieu on Gaza and Israel.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Ana Kasparian, host and producer of "The Young Turks," to discuss the top Democrats in the California governor's race spiraling, Katie Porter taking wild shots at Tom Steyer, Xavier Becerra embarrassingly trying to avoid tough questions, Kennedy offspring loser Jack Schlossberg struggling to explain his actual qualifications and role as a “content creator,” backlash to his congressional campaign, the massive campaign against Thomas Massie, how powerful donors are targeting him over his stance on Israel and Epstein push, and more. Then Gregory Bovino, former Border Patrol Commander at Large, joins to discuss concerns the Trump administration is taking a softer approach now on deportations, shifting rhetoric from immigration officials since Bovino left his position, how Trump's deportation policy shifted after the Minnesota killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, why Bovino believes the administration backed off aggressive enforcement, why “self-deportations” are one of the most effective immigration enforcement strategies, how interior enforcement impacts border security, the role of E-Verify, and more.   Kasparian- https://kasparian.substack.com/ Bovino- https://x.com/GregoryKBovino   Birch Gold: Text MK to 989898 for a free info kit and to see if you qualify for up to $10,000 back through May 29.

Two explosive reports have intensified global outrage over alleged sexual violence in the Israel-Hamas war. One investigation led by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Nick Kristof, details testimony from Palestinian prisoners alleging systematic sexual abuse by Israeli security personnel - claims Israel has fiercely denied as “blood libel.” The other, compiled by the Israeli Civil Commission into the October 7 attacks, documents harrowing allegations of sexual violence committed by Hamas, drawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of photographs. Both reports echo findings from the United Nations - both have triggered furious backlash online and have become battlegrounds in a wider information war, where competing narratives shape what audiences choose to believe. At the heart of the debate is a question of basic human decency and whether atrocities are condemned consistently, regardless of who is accused. Piers Morgan is joined by US-Israeli journalist and commentator, Emily Schrader, former US Navy Seal Rob O'Neill, former IDF soldier and whistleblower Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, The Young Turks host Ana Kasparian, and former special forces commander in the IDF, Doron Kempel to debate. Then, In his first major interview since the failed EBay takeover attempt - CEO of Game Stop Ryan Cohen joins Piers to discuss the future of GameStop, the state of modern capitalism, and why his unconventional approach continues to captivate millions.

Bill Press interviews psychologist Dr. John Gartner about a new ABC/Washington Post poll finding 59% of Americans believe Donald Trump is mentally unfit for the presidency and a physicians' letter urging Trump's lawful removal due to an unsanctioned war and his sole authority over nuclear weapons. Gartner argues Trump is a “malignant narcissist” with worsening frontotemporal dementia, claiming his disinhibition, tangential speech, confabulation, language errors, and loss of social context are increasingly visible, citing clips about “SEA” vs “SEE,” a Sharpie story, and graphic remarks to schoolchildren. He links Trump's self-glorification (coins, passports, building names, images as Pope/Jesus, a triumphal arch) to delusions of grandeur and warns of escalating war and possible first-use nuclear action, doubting political checks like the 25th Amendment or Senate conviction.

Guest host Joe Cirincione talks with Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA), a new member of Congress sworn in last September to fill the late Rep. Gerry Connolly's seat, about his work on Oversight and Homeland Security. Walkinshaw says DOJ remains out of compliance with the Oversight subpoena for Epstein files and is violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act through illegal redactions; he wants answers from former Attorney General Pam Bondi about who ordered the redactions and any White House involvement, noting Committee Chair Comer chose a transcribed interview rather than a deposition. He also outlines Oversight inquiries into alleged DHS misconduct by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski. Walkinshaw argues accountability and affordability are linked, condemns Trump's Iran war as unconstitutional under the War Powers Act, and warns a Supreme Court Voting Rights Act ruling could spur aggressive partisan redistricting and retaliation by Blue states.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guest host Joe Cirincione fills in for Bill Press and interviews Mother Jones investigative journalist Tim Murphy about his cover story, “Power Hungry: How the AI Oligarchy Gobbled Up America.” Murphy describes how the post–ChatGPT AI race has driven a boom in hyperscale data centers—projects the size of Central Park that demand immense electricity, water, and even on-site power plants, sometimes pushing nuclear plants like Three Mile Island to reopen. He argues this “hyperscale” moment has narrowed and intensified U.S. oligarchy, fusing concentrated tech wealth with political power, including major 2024 election spending and alliances with Donald Trump. Murphy details disruptive impacts on rural communities, secrecy via shell companies and NDAs, fears of boom-and-bust “empty hulks,” and growing bipartisan local backlash raising questions about democracy, agency, and the future envisioned by AI leaders.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl host Scott Dudelson sits down with legendary drummer Carmine Appice to trace a career that began in the late 1960s and shaped generations of rock drummers. Appice reflects on his work with Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Beck Bogart & Appice, and long stints performing and co-writing with Rod Stewart, plus decades of session and touring work with artists from Pink Floyd to Ozzy Osbourne. The episode highlights Appice's new Cactus album, Temple of the Blues Part Two, a collaborative blues record featuring more than a dozen guest rock legends and reinterpretations of songs by Howlin' Wolf, Jimi Hendrix and classic Cactus material. Carmine explains his recording process—starting with drums, building demos, and choosing guest vocalists—and shares how the project grew from his love of a little-known blues-rock album. Listeners get insider stories about co-writing global hits like “Do You Think I'm Sexy?” and “Young Turks” with Rod Stewart, and memories of close friendships and encounters with Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Prince and others. Appice also discusses wild early days with Vanilla Fudge, odd management ties, and career highs and lows including with Jeff Beck and Blue Murder projects. The conversation touches on technology, from using AI in videos and song experiments to his stance on streaming platforms, and closes with plans for future Cactus All-Star shows and collaborations with contemporary players. This episode is full of behind-the-scenes anecdotes, songwriting insights, and reflections on a life in rock.

Alex Jones is taking the demise of InfoWars well but not really. The Democrats won a redistricting vote but a Trumpist judge c-blocked it. Spirit Airlines got a bailout. United Airlines pushed the rise in oil prices onto their customers. The Young Turks were late to the party when they suggested there’s something fishy about the supposed Shitler “shooting” in Butler. Ships have been getting through man-baby’s blockade of Iran. A Trump appointee in DHS was saddled with a cheap benefactor who she met on a sugar-daddy dating site. RFK, Jr., the gravely voiced HHS czar and husband of actor Cheryl Hines, caught so much deserved shade during a congressional hearing. The Secretary of the Navy was sacked by Kegs-breath.

Joe Cirincione, sitting in for Bill, interviews Middle East Expert Rob Malley. Rob served as a senior Middle East official under Presidents Clinton, Obama and Biden. Under Obama, he was one of the top negotiators on the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal. Under Biden, he served as the special envoy for Iran. He is now a lecturer at Yale University, the former president of the International Crisis Group, and the co-author with Hussein Agha of a new book, Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine. They talk about the current U.S.-Israel war with Iran, arguing that while U.S. and Israeli military power is overwhelming, political objectives are unclear and Iran retains asymmetric capabilities, including disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Malley says Trump's public claims about Iranian concessions and battlefield success are unreliable and may fuel escalation, while reporting suggests Iran still has significant missile and small-boat capacity. He contends the war is unlawful, unnecessary, and economically disruptive, and that promised goals—destroying Iran's nuclear program, missiles, drones, or achieving regime change—have not been met and would not justify the war even if they had. Malley traces how Trump was encouraged by Netanyahu and others, but ultimately owns the decision, and argues diplomacy like the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) was the only approach that contained Iran's nuclear program. They discuss shifting Democratic opposition toward calling the war illegal, and Malley briefly connects these themes to his book Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine. on Israel-Palestine and U.S. misunderstandings of what motivates other peoples.

Bill talks with lawyer and former Clinton special counsel Lanny Davis about his book, Finding the Third Way, and the need to restore civility and “disagree agreeably” in U.S. politics. Davis recalls a Yale campus culture shaped by President Kingman Brewster that encouraged civil discourse and public service, even amid 1960s turmoil. He defines the “Third Way” as Bill Clinton's principled blend of social liberalism, fiscal conservatism (balanced budgets and responsibility), and cultural moderation, offering a positive alternative to Trumpism. Davis argues most Americans want civil politics, but extremes dominate, and Democrats must stand for affordability, fiscal discipline, and tolerance—especially within their own party—while rejecting lies, racism, and attacks on the Constitution. He predicts a potential realignment with disenchanted Trump voters and says Democrats need younger leadership after Biden's decision to run again. You can get a copy of Lanny's new book, coming our today, Finding the Third Way: Lessons in the Politics of Civility from My Journey through History here.Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by The Laborers' International Union of North America.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Michael Knowles, host of "The Michael Knowles Show," to discuss some GOP' lawmakers attempting to pass an amnesty immigration bill, the false framing of the "Dignity Act," why this is a betrayal of the base, the murderer in the tragic Iryna Zarutska case being ruled incompetent to stand trial, the outrageous possibility he goes free, the potential for the federal charges to still keep him in prison, a Canadian lawmaker using the term "MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+" to describe oppressed people, the ridiculous woke new standards of "murdered" people as "queer," and more. Then Ana Kasparian, host and executive producer of "The Young Turks," joins to discuss Netanyahu's actions in Lebanon, how Israel's ongoing bombing campaign could affect the fragile U.S ceasefire with Iran,  the bizarre past nine months since Megyn and Charlie Kirk talked Epstein and Israeli intelligence at the Turning Point event in July, the campaign being waged against her, the key conversation she and Charlie had about Israeli supporters the month before his death, and more.   Knowles- https://www.dailywire.com/ Kasparian- https://kasparian.substack.com/   Riverbend Ranch: Visit https://riverbendranch.com/ | Use promo code MEGYN for $20 off your first order.

Bill hosts historian Rick Atkinson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of a WWII trilogy and a new American Revolution trilogy, with two volumes out (The British Are Coming and The Fate of the Day) and a third he hopes to finish by 2031. Atkinson describes his archival research approach and argues the Revolution became an eight-year global war and an American civil war, turning especially brutal in the South. He highlights key turning points including Trenton/Princeton, Saratoga's role in bringing decisive French alliance, and French indispensability at Yorktown. He assesses Washington's early missteps and growth, Benedict Arnold's battlefield brilliance and festering grievances, Robert Morris's critical wartime financing, and women's essential roles. He discusses enslaved and Indigenous peoples' tragic outcomes, black participation on both sides, and concludes the Revolution's democratic aspirations remain unfinished and must be renewed to prevent future tyrannies.

Bill speaks with CNN Legal Commentator and New York Times Opinion Writer, Jeffrey Toobin about major legal issues surrounding Donald Trump, including an executive order creating an anti-fraud task force targeting alleged Medicare and Medicaid fraud in Minnesota and California, which Toobin describes as an effort to embarrass Gov. Tim Walz while Trump simultaneously issues numerous pardons to wealthy fraud convicts. Toobin says pardons can erase restitution, citing an estimate that $1.5 billion in potential restitution has been wiped out, and argues Trump's presidential immunity and the Constitution's pardon power make such actions effectively unprosecutable. They discuss the Supreme Court's upcoming birthright citizenship arguments, with Toobin predicting a decisive loss for Trump based on the 14th Amendment's text. The conversation also touches on judges' responses to Trump's attacks and concerns about election integrity in 2026 and 2028, with Toobin cautiously optimistic due to state control of elections.Today Bill highlights the work of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Bill interviews former DNC chair and Senate candidate Jaime Harrison about the midterms, arguing they're a chance to check Donald Trump by flipping the House and potentially the Senate. Harrison says Trump's push to restrict mail-in voting is hypocritical and would disenfranchise many voters, including military overseas. Harrison is bullish on Democratic prospects, comparing the cycle to 2006, citing GOP overreach, corruption, and strong Democratic special-election performance. He discusses countering GOP redistricting moves, candidate recruitment, and targeting Senate races in Georgia, Michigan (a concern due to a heated primary), Alaska (a “dark horse” with Mary Peltola), North Carolina (Roy Cooper), Texas, Ohio (Sherrod Brown), Maine, and Montana via an independent who would caucus with Democrats. He urges a message centered on affordability and healthcare, downplays fundraising gaps, and promotes his “Dirt Road Dems” PAC focused on rural organizing in the South.Today Bill reminds us that the best way to support Democrats financially is through ACTBlue.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bill discusses the third week of a U.S. and Israel-led war against Iran and Americans' cratering support for Israel, with J Street founder Jeremy Ben-Ami and senior VP Ilan Goldenberg. Ben-Ami calls it Netanyahu's long-sought war, notes the JCPOA(“The Iran Nuclear Deal” under Obama) had effectively constrained Iran's program, and says the current effort lacks clear goals. They highlight polling showing a sharp decline in U.S. support for Israel—especially among 18–34-year-olds—and criticize AIPAC's tactics and funding, urging Democrats to end “blank check” support, emphasize Palestinian rights, and pursue a balanced, pro-diplomacy approach.They also explored why the war began, where it may lead, and its political fallout. Goldenberg argues there was no imminent threat, diplomacy and other alternatives existed, and the U.S. lacked technical negotiators, leaving outcomes likely to resemble a long containment quagmire with higher oil prices and persistent regional instability. Today Bill highlights the work of J Street and suggests you check out their work at JStreet.org.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
