  • Best News and Analysis Podcast Out There

    This is a Fabulous Podcast for learning about National as well as Local news. Brian not only provides the facts of the story, but also his analysis opinions on why the story is important to the listener.

    Sometimes I disagree with Brian, but listening to the podcast has made me a more informed citizen and critical thinker.

  • Love the show!

    I really do love this show, but I have come to believe that the CIA, in collusion with MI5 and 6, and Mossad, have created a lot of havoc around the world. Maybe you arenaren’t allowed to talk about it, but I wish that you would. We need to be able to identify these bad actors and remove them from power.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

26 AUG 2026: Q&A: Secret CIA Trip to Moscow // Rebel Group in Iran // D-Day for China // Safe Jobs From AI Revolution // Advice to Trump on A.I. Backlash // Birthright Scams // Drop the "T" // Remembering Dolly
Q: Why haven't we seen uprisings or rebels in Iran?
The caller question is addressed with a detailed analysis explaining that Iran lacks a Massoud-style figure, broader unified leadership, and a credible internal opposition capable of mobilizing a nationwide insurgency; while a coup within the IRGC is considered unlikely, some internal shifts could occur.
19 AUG 2026: Q&A: Trump Polls Real? // Fake News & Science // Why So Many Refugees in MN? // U.S. Crime Stats Cooked? // Pentagon Ends College Collabs With China // CIA Killers in Iran // Secret Propaganda in U.S.
Q: What do you think about polls that show Trump is unpopular and voters are worse off under his leadership?
Polls should be interpreted cautiously; internal WH numbers may differ, and factors like war in Iran and inflation influence public sentiment. The guest cites multiple external polls to illustrate the variability, but cautions that reliability depends on methodology and independence from political biases.
12 AUG 2026: Q&A: Avalanche of Good News! // Operation Sneak Trump Out of Turkey; How It Went Down // Drones Over Diego // Trump Kicks Out Chinese Scientists // A Muslim's Loyalty // Big City Reds // Space!
Q: Ian from Bend asks why big cities lean left and stay that way, and whether the CIA has insights on how social dynamics in urban centers shape political alignment?
The host suggests social conformity, wealth concentration, and influential political dynasties in urban areas contribute to a steady drift toward progressive policies, framing it as a cultural and economic snowball that's reinforced by media and elite networks in those cities.
12 AUG 2026: Q&A: Avalanche of Good News! // Operation Sneak Trump Out of Turkey; How It Went Down // Drones Over Diego // Trump Kicks Out Chinese Scientists // A Muslim's Loyalty // Big City Reds // Space!
Q: Walter asks why our scientists can't partner with Chinese scientists under growing Wolf Amendment restrictions, and what the strategic rationale is behind controlling scientific collaboration with China?
The Wolf Amendment expansion is framed as safeguarding national security by preventing access to sensitive research that could bolster adversaries; the host argues China's past theft of American ingenuity justifies tighter controls, though there is critique about blocking all academic exchanges and the potential downsides of limiting student visas.
12 AUG 2026: Q&A: Avalanche of Good News! // Operation Sneak Trump Out of Turkey; How It Went Down // Drones Over Diego // Trump Kicks Out Chinese Scientists // A Muslim's Loyalty // Big City Reds // Space!
Q: Hey, Bryan, I would love to hear your take on the Trump secret agent operation to sneak him into the small plane in Turkey. How might this have worked?
The operation would have involved a coordinated effort across the CIA, NSA, FBI, and other agencies, using covert communications and rapid decision cycles to secure the president's safety while minimizing exposure for staff and reporters; the plan prioritized protecting Trump and ensuring attackers couldn't intercept the move, though it meant some staff and journalists on Air Force One might not have been fully briefed.
