    Why Are Progressives Winning Elections? Is Socialism a Threat

    Thanks to our channel sponsor: ExpatMoney.com/Kyle. - get your free Plan B report today. Supporting our sponsors, supports the show. Download your free guide today. ExpatMoney.com/Kyle A progressive primary upset turns into something much bigger when you follow the money and the message. We’re rolling solo and starting with what last night’s results suggest about where U.S. politics is heading: foreign policy is no longer a side issue. When wars drag on, when Israel and Iran dominate headlines, and when voters feel the cost through inflation and gas prices, they vote accordingly. I also unpack why the “jihadist” and “communist” scare talk misses the actual story, and how race-first politics on both fringes poisons any real populist reform. Then we pivot to a story that should be front-page news for anyone who flies. A Wired report points to GPS jamming tests near White Sands Missile Range and how interference can spill hundreds of miles beyond a test site. When multiple aircraft lose GPS at once, pilots and controllers get forced into backup modes under pressure. We talk through the reporting around a civilian medical flight that crashed into a mountain at night after GPS disruption, and why this raises urgent questions about military tech, FAA readiness, and public accountability. From there, we head to the Middle East for a fast-moving update: tanker incidents, reported Iran Oman talks over Strait of Hormuz routing and tolls, and the broader negotiating game between Tehran and Washington. I play a Trump clip on the 2015 Obama Iran nuclear deal and explain why undoing that framework makes any future settlement messier and more dangerous. We close with Gaza, separating talk of Hamas disarmament from the on-the-ground reality of continued territorial control and stated Israeli policy.

    LtCOL Karen Kwiatkowski: RUBIO V. Vance: The White House Factions Frustrating Trump?

    Thanks to our channel sponsor: ExpatMoney.com/Kyle. - get your free Plan B report today. Supporting our sponsors, supports the show. Download your free guide today. ExpatMoney.com/Kyle “We don’t want regime change… but the regime has to change.” That line tells you almost everything about how Washington talks itself into bigger wars, and why the US Iran conflict keeps drifting from one stated goal to the next. We sit down with Lt Col Karen Kwiatkowski to sort out what’s real, what’s posturing, and what the incentives look like behind the curtain as Trump alternates between strike threats and sudden stand downs. We dig into the reported faction fight inside the White House between escalation minded voices and officials trying to slow the spiral, plus the hard constraint nobody can spin away: munitions, interceptors, and readiness. Karen explains why regime change is not a strategy, why “opening the Strait of Hormuz” is often used as a slogan instead of an operational objective, and how a lack of cultural and political understanding of Iran leads to reactive decisions that cost lives and credibility. Then we widen the lens to the regional chessboard. If the US is weakened, overextended, and seen as unreliable, who gains freedom of action? We talk about Israel’s incentives, America’s intelligence dependence, and the disturbing report that CENTCOM sought “creative and unconventional” ideas to punish Iran, a sign of strategic confusion rather than serious planning. We also unpack the Pentagon leadership and career pipeline that can reward recklessness while punishing accountability. If you care about US foreign policy, Middle East escalation, national security decision making, and what to watch next, this conversation will sharpen your radar.

    Loomer Sits Down With Ukraine Neo-Nazi | Are Muslims Taking Over Spain? w/ Craig 'Pasta' Jardula

    Thanks to our channel sponsor: ExpatMoney.com/Kyle. - get your free Plan B report today. Supporting our sponsors, supports the show. Download your free guide today. ExpatMoney.com/Kyle A viral interview raises an uncomfortable question: what does it mean when a high-profile US political influencer sits down with a commander tied to the Azov movement and the “clean up the optics” answer is basically no? We take that clip seriously, not as clickbait, but as a window into how the Ukraine war is sold to the public, how propaganda works when facts are inconvenient, and why the neo-Nazi imagery controversy never actually went away. From there, we pull on a bigger thread that keeps showing up in foreign policy: the push to connect wars into one narrative. We talk about the incentives for Ukraine to tie itself to an Iran-centered conflict, what Israel’s leadership may want, and how US priorities shift when munitions, media attention, and political will are finite. We also dig into the hard part that rarely gets discussed honestly: even if you think a war is provoked or justified, what is the endgame, and what happens to public opinion when strikes land inside Russia? We then pivot to US politics and the pro-Israel lobby ecosystem, reacting to John Fetterman’s meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu and what that symbolism says about party discipline, image management, and who gets rewarded. After that, we highlight journalist Sam Husseini confronting Chuck Schumer, and why real accountability often only happens when someone is willing to get shoved out of the room for asking the question. Finally, we unpack the “Morocco invaded Spain” claim by looking at Ceuta, asylum pathways, Abraham Accords-era leverage, spyware, and how migration routes tie back to destabilization across North Africa and the Sahel. If you care about Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, NATO, and the Israel lobby, this conversation connects the dots.

    Trump EXPLODES Amid Iran War Debacle | Fauci’s Diary

    Thanks to our channel sponsor: ExpatMoney.com/Kyle. - get your free Plan B report today. Supporting our sponsors, supports the show. Download your free guide today. ExpatMoney.com/Kyle Missiles in the air, oil markets on edge, and a White House that still can’t answer the simplest question: what’s the plan? We start with reporting from foreign correspondent Trey Yingst on US forces having only minutes to intercept incoming Iranian ballistic missiles, then I lay out why “shock” at Iranian retaliation doesn’t make sense in a war the US chose to escalate. When leaders talk like this is a surprise, it’s usually a cover for something else: drift, misreads, or a narrative meant to keep the public on board. From there, I get into Trump’s increasingly volatile rhetoric and an NBC News report that says top officials can’t agree on an Iran strategy, with allies privately admitting there never was one. I connect that to the familiar failures of Iraq and Afghanistan: unachievable goals, no timeline, and a fantasy that a few strikes will force surrender. We also hit the AP polling that shows how little support there is for continuing the war, plus the hard reality of the Strait of Hormuz as a global energy choke point. Then we play clips of Benjamin Netanyahu as he reframes the mission around nuclear fears, denies misleading Trump, pitches pipeline workarounds, and rejects a Palestinian state by pointing to Gaza. Finally, we pivot home to the Anthony Fauci hearing and the part many people skip: Trump praised Fauci, backed lockdowns, and pushed vaccine development, and that legacy is a major piece of today’s broken trust in public health.

    US COLLAPSE IMMINENT? The Middle East's SHOCKING New Order!

    Thanks to our channel sponsor: ExpatMoney.com/Kyle. - get your free Plan B report today. Supporting our sponsors, supports the show. Download your free guide today. ExpatMoney.com/Kyle The story most people miss about a widening Middle East war isn’t just who fires the next missile, it’s who can absorb the retaliation after they do. I’m solo today, moving fast through the latest escalations and then slowing down where it matters: the strategic constraints that make “hit them harder” sound simple while turning into a nightmare for bases, allies, and civilians across the region. We talk Iran, US Central Command messaging, and the way regional dynamics can cascade when Saudi Arabia, Yemen’s Ansar Allah, and Iraqi militias all become part of the same retaliatory map. From attacks on energy sites to pressure around key waterways like the Strait of Hormuz, the stakes are bigger than a single battlefield. Energy markets, shipping risk, and the politics of escalation all collide, and once multiple actors tie their demands together, diplomacy gets harder, not easier. Then we get into the numbers that drive everything: Patriot missiles, THAAD interceptors, and what dwindling inventories mean for real world air and missile defense. I also respond to Trump’s public remarks, the temptation toward escalation when defenses are thin, and why nuclear risk is the darkest edge of this kind of cornered thinking. We close with the US Israel political reality, Netanyahu’s visit, public polling on ICC accountability, and a media moment that shows how warped the Gaza debate has become.

    Larry Johnson: Is WWIII INCOMING?! Zelensky Attempts to Merge Ukraine, Iran War

    Thanks to our channel sponsor: ExpatMoney.com/Kyle. - get your free Plan B report today. Supporting our sponsors, supports the show. Download your free guide today. ExpatMoney.com/Kyle Ukraine can look stable on a map while collapsing through its supply lines and that’s where we start. Zelensky claims his relationship with Donald Trump has “absolutely changed” after a private meeting, but we stress-test that optimism against a tougher metric: what the United States is actually providing in money, weapons, and air defense right now, and what it can realistically sustain. From there, we dig into Russia’s ramped-up posture and why the Black Sea may matter more than another small shift in the Donbas. Larry Johnson explains the stepped-up strikes on Kiev and the strategic impact of shutting down Odessa, including the chilling effect on commercial shipping and how a maritime squeeze can accelerate economic failure. If you’ve been following only territorial gains, this reframes the Russia Ukraine conflict around logistics, trade, and the ability to keep a war economy alive. We then widen the lens to the Middle East and the risk of conflict fusion. Zelensky’s reported strike on an Iranian ship is discussed as political signaling that could invite Iranian retaliation, possibly coordinated with Russia. We connect that to the U.S. defense industrial base and the hard limits behind the rhetoric: PAC-3 interceptor shortages, the price of advanced missiles, rare earth minerals flowing through China, and even a looming diesel and aviation fuel crunch that shapes what Washington can do. We close by asking whether negotiations with Iran are the only off-ramp left, and what happens if that window closes.

    Jon Hoffman: Did Trump Put Saudi on the Path to Nuclear Weapons ?!

    Thanks to our channel sponsor: ExpatMoney.com/Kyle. - get your free Plan B report today. Supporting our sponsors, supports the show. Download your free guide today. ExpatMoney.com/Kyle A nuclear power deal can sound like paperwork until the fine print turns into a proliferation crisis. We sit down with Jon Hoffman of the Cato Institute to unpack the reported US Saudi nuclear agreement and the real meaning of a “Section 123 agreement” under the Atomic Energy Act. The headline question is simple and unsettling: does this cooperation keep a civilian program civilian, or does it open the door to Saudi uranium enrichment and a future regional arms race? We also dig into why the timing is so politically loaded. The original framework was tied to Saudi Israel normalization and the Abraham Accords, plus talk of a US security guarantee, but the region’s wars keep reshuffling incentives. When leaders publicly “clarify” terms after reports of a signed deal, it creates uncertainty for nonproliferation safeguards, congressional oversight, and everyone watching whether US Middle East policy is driven by strategy or leverage. From there, we zoom out to the battlefield and the map. Yemen, the Houthis (Ansar Allah), and the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint collide with rising Iran tensions and the Strait of Hormuz, putting oil flows and global prices at risk. We push back on escalation rhetoric, ask what “victory” even means without objectives or an exit plan, and talk through hard constraints like depleted US missile interceptor stockpiles. Finally, we turn to Israel’s posture and the worsening situation in the West Bank, where settler violence and annexation fears keep growing as the world looks elsewhere.

    David Benner : Israel Stays on the Sidelines While Trump Fights Netanyahu’s War Against Iran

    @Liberty-Vault. - David Benner : Israel Stays on the Sidelines While Trump Fights Netanyahu’s War Against Iran Thanks to our channel sponsor: ExpatMoney.com/Kyle. - get your free Plan B report today. Supporting our sponsors, supports the show. Download your free guide today. ExpatMoney.com/Kyle A single line in a must-pass defense bill can change U.S. foreign policy for years, and most people will never hear about it until it is too late. We dig into Section 219 of the NDAA and why critics say it moves beyond “supporting Israel” into something far more permanent: structural military integration that could lock U.S. decision-making to Israeli security priorities. I’m joined by David Benner of Liberty Vault to unpack what that kind of legal and bureaucratic merger could mean for sovereignty, accountability, intelligence risk, and the ability of voters to actually steer policy. From there, we move to the War Powers votes and the bigger pattern they reveal. Congress can avoid a clean authorization while the executive branch escalates a war with Iran, and members can even dodge going on record. We talk through why that political incentive structure exists, how bipartisan leadership responds to pressure, and why Israel can end up “on the sidelines” while the United States takes the hit. We also get into the Strait of Hormuz and why shutdown threats, base vulnerability, and escalation logic can quickly turn a “managed” conflict into a wider regional disaster. Then we connect the war to your wallet. Yemen’s ability to threaten the Bab al Mandab chokepoint, plus rising shipping risk and fertilizer constraints, can feed into higher gas prices and delayed grocery inflation. We also break down the brutal math of modern air defense, where cheap drones can drain expensive interceptors and expose supply limits. If you care about U.S. war powers, Middle East conflict, Israel policy, and the real economic blowback of intervention, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review with your biggest question about Section 219 or the Iran escalation.
