BREAKING: US STRIKES AS TRUMP UNLEASHES AGAINST IRAN

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/1e033024-d21b-4e90-b60b-b4b9003ff3da/transcript

In this episode, I look at President Trump’s major Venezuela oil deal, why critics screaming “colonialism” are ignoring the fact that China was already taking the lion’s share of Venezuelan oil, and why securing energy while weakening Xi Jinping’s influence is a win for America and for Venezuela.

I also explain why Maduro still deserves to face justice, why two things can be true at once, and why those who had no problem with China draining Venezuela’s resources have no credibility now that America is stepping in.

And finally, Scott Bessent dismantles Mark Carney and Canada’s trade position, JD Vance fires back after Abdul El-Sayed drags his wife Usha into the debate, El-Sayed once again exposes how unprepared and anti-American he really is, Randy Fine reminds Republicans why his warnings aged so well, and the pressure grows on Vance — and every Republican — to finally make clear where they stand on Tucker Carlson.

JD Vance SNAPS On Stage… His Own WILL SMITH Moment!

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/7f3aee33-63b7-4214-b017-b4b8013bfdd4/transcript

Everything you thought you understood about Lebanon, Hezbollah, Israel and the U.S. is about to be challenged.

David Daoud, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) and one of the leading experts on Lebanon and Hezbollah, joins Erin Molan for a conversation that completely upends the conventional narrative surrounding Lebanon and the much-discussed Israel-Lebanon “peace deal.”

And Daoud isn’t approaching this from a distance. He tells Erin that he served in the IDF and fought Hezbollah himself.

So why does he believe Washington and Jerusalem may be misunderstanding Lebanon?

Daoud explains why Hezbollah cannot simply be dismissed as a foreign Iranian occupation of Lebanon, why significant Lebanese Shiite support for Hezbollah matters enormously, and why Lebanon’s unique political system makes disarming Hezbollah far more complicated than many Western observers suggest.

He also challenges the way the recent U.S.-backed Israel-Lebanon arrangement is being described.

His message is blunt: stop calling it a “peace deal” when the Lebanese themselves aren’t calling it one.

Erin and David also discuss Marco Rubio’s approach to Lebanon, Iran’s relationship with Hezbollah, how Hezbollah finances itself, the Lebanese government’s willingness and ability to confront the group, Resolution 1701, and whether Washington is mistaking temporary quiet for genuine peace.

Could this agreement actually create lasting stability between Israel and Lebanon?

Or are Washington and Jerusalem repeating the same mistakes that could leave another generation fighting the exact same war?

David Daoud is a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies focused on Lebanon, Hezbollah and Israel.
