    Ep. 154 — The Islamic Republic of Iran's Axis of Resistance

    Bill, co-host Behnam, and long-time friend of the show Edmund Fitton-Brown preview and share insights from a project they’ve been working on concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran’s axis of resistance. They discuss Tehran’s extensive track record of not playing by the rules — and not paying a price for it — as well as the origins of conflict between Iran and the West from before the 1979 revolution to tapping their regional proxies on and after October 7, 2023 to target Israeli and American interests in the Middle East — and everything in between.

    Ep. 150 — Red lines, ceasefires, and humanitarian aid piers

    Bill and Joe unpack the undertaking of the pier to be built by the U.S. off the coast of Gaza for the purpose of distributing aid (but without boots on the ground?) including some of their general concerns like, "Who is the aid handed off to, Hamas? Who the hell is going to secure this thing?"
    They also discuss President Biden's statement that Israel operating inside Rafah would be "a red line," how Ramadan has started with no ceasefire in sight, and details surrounding a high-value target that Israel has gone after.

Real information & analysis

Have been following Bill since Afghanistan. Wish the administration was as sensible. Wish they were wrong in their assessment. Almost always correct.

Good, but biased

Good podcast as far as information regarding terror groups around the world. I have learned a lot. However, it is very Pro-Israel and conservative politically.
