JIM WEBB PODCAST

<p>Something doesn’t add up in the way Iran is explained to Americans and when the headlines shift from airstrikes to “talks are back on” in the span of a weekend, the confusion only gets worse. I’m joined by journalist...

<p>“Socialism” and “unions” didn’t start as online punchlines. For a lot of American workers in the late 1800s, they were the language of getting fed, staying alive, and pushing back when companies and the state treated...

<p>A 250-foot “triumphal arch” planted between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery sounds like a design fight, but we think it exposes a much more dangerous habit: skipping the constitutional process...

<p>A top general abruptly retires, and the story quickly turns into a bigger question we cannot dodge: why does the US military punish small mistakes fast, but let senior leaders skate after disasters? We sit down with...

<p>Getting sanctioned by the EU is one thing. Getting sanctioned without being shown real evidence is another. I sit down with Colonel Jacques Baud, a former Swiss intelligence officer and NATO advisor, to unpack how he...

<p>“We’re going to bomb Moscow” used to sound like an unthinkable nightmare. Now it shows up as a headline and barely registers. That’s where we start, because once taboos break, they don’t magically come back and the...

<p>A ceasefire gets announced, and then the bombs keep falling. That contradiction kicks off a blunt conversation with Darryl Cooper about the Middle East, Israel and Hezbollah, and why the United States no longer gets...

<p>A “peace deal” is about to take effect, yet Israel is still carrying out combat operations in Lebanon and openly talking about expanded buffer zones. We walk through why that detail changes everything for Iran, why...

<p>A “deal” doesn’t mean much if nobody can even agree on what’s in it. We sit down with Larry Johnson to sort through the growing confusion around the Iran memorandum of understanding, including reports of competing...

<p>A ceasefire can be announced in minutes and collapse in seconds, so we slow down and ask the only question that matters: is the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding actually enforceable, or is it a pause that buys...

<p>The market popped on a promise: a Trump-brokered Iran agreement that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease a global energy squeeze. But when a headline lands right before futures reopen, I can’t help asking...

<p>Lebanon isn’t a side quest, it’s the pressure point that can keep a US Iran war simmering for years. We sit down with journalist and geopolitical analyst Patrick Henningson, founder of 21st Century Wire, to unpack...

<p>“We’ll negotiate with bombs” is the kind of line that should stop you cold, especially when it’s paired with fresh strikes on Iran and talk of ground troops. We sit down with Dan McKnight, founder of Bring Our Troops...

<p>The fastest way to understand American power is to watch where it mysteriously stops. We start with Trump’s constant “deal with Iran is coming” talk, his public back-and-forth over Netanyahu, and the recurring...
