The JD Rucker Show

Christianity is, for the first time in American history, not being actively acknowledged by a majority of Americans. This isn't necessarily a bad thing when we consider the lukewarm nature of churches in America in recent decades. It's better to have fewer who are more dedicated to the faith than a bunch of people who claim it for social reason.Then, there's the filibusters. Between the SAVE America Act being left hanging and the shutdown of DHS that continues unabated, it's time for Senate Majority Leader John Thune to rally his caucus behind ending the filibuster altogether. A "talking filibuster" simply won't work and could actually do damage before the midterms.In the last segment, I spoke to precious metals expert Ira Bershatsky from https://advisorbullion.com to go over the American economy in general, but as things often do in JD's world the conversation shifted to preparedness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was named Iran's third Supreme Leader on March 8, 2026, just ten days after U.S.-Israeli strikes killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The Assembly of Experts announced his selection in a "decisive vote," though the process was marked by significant IRGC pressure and internal dissent among clerical members.

Mojtaba holds only the mid-level clerical rank of hojjatoleslam — not ayatollah — a legitimacy issue his father resolved by having the law changed; a similar workaround is expected.

President Trump openly called the selection "unacceptable," warned Mojtaba would "not last long" without U.S. approval, and characterized him as a "lightweight."

Mojtaba has deep ties to the IRGC dating back to his service in the Iran-Iraq War, and is widely believed to have personally supervised the violent crackdown on Green Movement protesters in 2009.

A year-long Bloomberg investigation revealed Mojtaba controls a global real estate and financial empire worth hundreds of millions of dollars, structured through shell companies and intermediaries across London, Dubai, and Europe.

Analysts expect Mojtaba to be more hardline than his father, more reliant on the IRGC, and unlikely to pursue meaningful compromise with the West in the near term.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has called for seven high-profile individuals to appear before his panel for transcribed interviews related to their connections with the late Jeffrey Epstein. Among those summoned are Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Gateway, Inc. founder Ted Waitt, and private equity investor Leon Black, with proposed testimony dates scheduled between April and May. The remaining four called to appear are Kathryn Ruemmler, Lesley Groff, Sarah Kellen, and Doug Band.

The move came on the same day Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to testify before the committee regarding his own ties to Epstein, after admitting he had lunch with the convicted sex offender in 2012. Chairman Comer has made clear that the Oversight Committee is committed to seeking the full truth — both for Epstein's survivors and for the American public.

The probe represents a broader congressional push to map the extent of Epstein's powerful network and bring some measure of accountability to those connected to his crimes.

However, as JD discusses on the latest episode of America First Report, it is deeply frustrating that meaningful consequences for those involved remain unlikely. Yet as he reminds listeners, even when earthly justice falls short, we can rest assured that a higher judgment awaits — and no one ultimately escapes accountability before God.

Iran was building missiles at a radical, and at a rapid clip, to the point where our allies in the region could not keep up, as you know, Iran, has, long vowed to take out Israel, wipe it off the map.”“Because Israel was determined to act with or without the US, our commander in chief and the administration and the officials…had to evaluate the threats to the US, to our troops, to our installations, to our assets in the region and beyond,” Johnson continued. “If Iran had begun to fire all of their missile arsenal – short and mid-range missiles – at our personnel and our assets and our installations, we would have suffered staggering losses, and if we had waited to respond before acting first, then those losses would have been far greater than if we had done what we did.
