Today, we’re hosting a special Lebanon-focused show, and we’re honored to be joined by our friend Ali Rida Sbeity — a Lebanese journalist and war correspondent for RT, as well as the cameraman for our friend Steve Sweeney. You may remember Ali and Steve from when they were targeted in a Zionist airstrike while reporting in southern Lebanon.

On today’s show we take a look at the so-called ceasefire deal between the US, Israel, and Iran, how Israel immediately broke it with the biggest bombing campaign in Lebanon, and how the Trump administration is living in an alternate reality—and why no one trusts them anymore.

Don’t miss today’s show as Scott Ritter and Larry Johnson join us to reveal what really unfolded in Iran this weekend.

We are honored to welcome back Tehran University Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi to the show. We will talk about the insane messaging coming from the Trump administration, whether Iran expects a US invasion and how it’s preparing for it, and how the region could look post-war.

After more than a week of fighting, and with the initial plan to topple the Iranian government clearly failing, the Epstein Coalition appears to be shifting to Plan B. The rhetoric coming out of Washington now mirrors that of Israel when it carried out a genocide in Gaza. Meanwhile, Iranian resolve remains strong, and Tehran continues to inflict damage on U.S. military assets across the region. With Washington’s rhetoric growing increasingly unhinged, the situation now appears set to escalate even further.

Operation Epstein’s Fury continues as Israel and the United States carry out massive bombing runs across Iran. But the uprising they expected never came. In Washington, officials can’t seem to decide why the war was launched in the first place, even as domestic support remains minimal. We take a look at the events of the past two days and unpack the growing chaos in the Middle East.

After months of gaslighting, lies, pretend negotiations, and endless excuses, the U.S. and Israeli “Epstein Coalition” attacked Iran and killed Ali Hosseini Khamenei. We break down the events of the past two days, share our analysis, and discuss what this escalation means for the region and the wider world.

We mark the fourth anniversary of the Special Military Operation, with no end in sight as Europe appears ready to escalate to the point of no return. We also take a look at Trump’s State of the Union circus and what increasingly looks like an inevitable war with Iran.

Investigative journalist Nick Bryant joins us to discuss his years-long investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network, from the original “Little Black Book” to newly uncovered connections. We examine the co-conspirators, enablers, and the broader power structure that allowed the operation to function for so long.

We are joined by Andrey Afanasyev, war correspondent for SPAS TV, Russia’s largest Orthodox Christian television network, to discuss the conflict in Ukraine, what the Epstein files reveal about it, and who Russia is actually fighting.
