    All the analysts say that Russia is overwhelmingly winning the war. This is obviously not true as their Army can’t get out of their own back yard. Why isn’t Napolitano calling them on that. Every week for months they have said Ukraine is finished and the stalemate goes on. These experts who are blindly anti Trump look ignore since their predictions about how he would deal with Maduro were 100% wrong. Delano’s

    EDIT Love the podcasts as it is my most reliable way to enjoy the show. Have lowered my rating from a 5 to a 3 bc it is taking far too long to get the podcasts uploaded once aired. I no longer listen to many as they are 2-4 days old before you can hear them. Disappointing but I have a number of other podcasts to listen to that get their shows updated far quicker.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Prof. Mohammad Marandi : FROM TEHRAN: How Iran Trapped Trump
Q: Professor, what is life like in Tehran today and how are you interpreting the latest clashes in the Persian Gulf?
Marandi explains that while there are ongoing tensions and media focus on cross-border incidents, Iran's strategic posture emphasizes calculated restraint while signaling red lines and maintaining readiness for possible escalation if necessary.
Larry Johnson : Trump Negotiating Against Himself
Q: Is Donald Trump negotiating against himself?
The host frames the question as an ongoing tension between Trump's stated positions and actions, suggesting that changes and unilateral shifts in negotiation stance create a strategic dynamic where Trump both pushes for and retreats from previously negotiated terms, thereby negotiating against himself. The guest elaborates on how unilateral U.S. moves and public messaging influence Iran's bargaining posture and the overall risk landscape.
Ray McGovern : What Putin Is Thinking
Q: Ray, thank you very much. What do you think President Putin is thinking?
The guest outlines a calculated, patient approach by Putin, emphasizing long-term strategic goals, the fear of provoking a NATO response, and the balancing of risks with allied support from Russia's partners, suggesting Putin is wary of overreaching and prioritizes stability and calculated pressure over dramatic moves.
CPT. Matt Hoh : Military Spending Into Oblivion
Q: What is 1.7 trillion in spending going to be used for and what will actually happen to that money?
The guest argues the vast majority will flow to defense contractors and certain vanity projects, with the money likely becoming back orders and debt rather than direct troop benefits.
CPT. Matt Hoh : Military Spending Into Oblivion
Q: Can Trump control Netanyahu or is Netanyahu in control?
The guest explains that while the U.S. has significant influence, ultimate control is unlikely; the dynamic is complex, involving political leverage, strategic interests, and ongoing tension between Washington and Jerusalem.
