CIA Dir. Confirms Iran’s Nuclear Program Crippled
1. CIA and DoD Briefing: CIA Director John Radcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth briefed senators on the effectiveness of airstrikes ordered by President Donald Trump. Radcliffe compared the Trump administration's swift success with Iran to the prolonged negotiations under President Obama during the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal). He claimed Iran agreed to a ceasefire with Israel within 20 minutes of the strikes, contrasting it with 20 months of negotiations with Obama. 2. Intelligence Claims: Radcliffe and others asserted that Iran’s nuclear program was severely damaged, citing new intelligence from historically reliable sources. Key Iranian nuclear facilities were reportedly destroyed and would take years to rebuild. 3. Media Criticism: The episode heavily criticizes mainstream media outlets (CNN, MSNBC, NYT) for reporting on a preliminary DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) assessment that suggested only moderate damage. Officials argue that this assessment was based on low-confidence intelligence, possibly influenced by Iranian propaganda. 4. Supporting Statements: Quotes from various sources (UN Atomic Energy Agency, Israeli officials, former intelligence officers) are used to support the claim that the strikes were highly effective. The document accuses the media of spreading misinformation and undermining national security for political reasons. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

AOC’s Protégé is NYC’s Future plus Oversight Committee Probes Biden’s Autopen Use
🗳️ NYC Mayoral Race & Reaction The document opens with former President Donald Trump reacting to the victory of a candidate named Mondani in the New York City mayoral primary. Trump and others describe Mondani as a “communist lunatic” and a symbol of the Democratic Party's alleged shift toward Marxism and socialism. The commentary criticizes Mondani’s platform, which includes: Free public transit and housing Rent freezes City-run grocery stores $30 minimum wage Higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations Universal childcare and trans health support 🧠 Ideological Critique The narrative argues that the Democratic Party has fundamentally changed, claiming it has been overtaken by far-left ideologies. It accuses Democrats of importing new voters through immigration to shift political power. The commentary includes inflammatory language and conspiracy-like claims about the party's intentions and the consequences for New York City and the country. 📊 Campaign Strategy & Voter Sentiment Mondani is portrayed as having run a savvy, social-media-driven campaign that resonated with younger, debt-burdened voters. He is quoted discussing the cost of living crisis and the need to listen to voters rather than lecture them. His campaign is framed as a response to economic hardship and a desire to make NYC more affordable. 🖊️ Biden Autopen Controversy The latter part of the document shifts to a separate issue involving Neera Tanden, a former Biden aide. It discusses her congressional testimony about the use of autopen signatures for official documents. The document suggests a lack of transparency and accountability in the Biden administration, implying that unauthorized signatures may have been used. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Trump’s Fury as Ceasefire Breached Hours After Historic Deal
Ceasefire Breach and Trump's Reaction A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran was violated just hours after it was enacted. Iran was accused of launching missiles at Israel, which Tehran denied. Israel responded with airstrikes. Trump expressed strong frustration with both nations, particularly criticizing Israel for launching a massive bombing campaign immediately after the deal was signed. He publicly stated, “I’m not happy with Israel,” and emphasized that both sides had violated the agreement. Trump’s Direct Intervention Trump issued a cease-and-desist message to Israel via Truth Social, warning them not to escalate further. He also spoke directly with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, urging restraint. Following the call, Israel reportedly held back from further military action. Domestic Security Concerns The document shifts focus to national security concerns in the U.S., particularly regarding Iranian nationals. ICE arrested 15 Iranian nationals, some with alleged ties to Hezbollah or the Iranian military. The report details several cases of Iranian immigrants with criminal histories or suspected terrorist affiliations. Trump and other officials criticized the Biden administration for allegedly allowing such individuals into the country. Political and Security Implications Trump used the situation to highlight what he described as failures of the previous administration in handling border security. The narrative ties foreign policy instability to domestic security threats, emphasizing the need for strict immigration enforcement. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Twelve-Day War Ends in Ceasefire as Trump’s Mid East Win Sparks Media Meltdown
Main Event: Former President Donald Trump announces a "complete and total ceasefire" between Israel and Iran after a 12-day war. The ceasefire is structured in phases: Iran begins first, followed by Israel, with a full cessation of hostilities within 24 hours. Key Developments: The conflict escalated after Israel struck Iranian nuclear sites, prompting a symbolic Iranian missile retaliation targeting a U.S. base in Qatar. Iran's response was calibrated and pre-warned, aiming to avoid full-scale war while maintaining domestic and international posture. Ben emphasizes that Iran's actions were measured, avoiding escalation like closing the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s Framing: Trump refers to the conflict as the "Twelve Day War", drawing a parallel to the Six-Day War of 1967. He positions the ceasefire as a historic diplomatic victory, crediting his leadership and foreign policy strategy. Media Criticism: The episode is highly critical of mainstream media, especially CNN, accusing them of bias against Trump and hoping for his failure. It highlights a moment where CNN is caught off guard by Iran’s agreement to the ceasefire, allegedly undermining their narrative. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
