In this episode of The MiddleGround Mic, we examine the escalating Iran uprising in January 2026—protests against economic collapse, Khamenei, and the Islamic Republic, with widespread calls for Reza Pahlavi's return and a secular future. 

Featuring powerful clips from activist Goldie Ghamari's interviews (TalkTV, Glenn Beck, IRAN 101), we cover: regime illegitimacy, historical regression since 1979, human rights abuses, Pahlavi's unifying role, Trump/international signals, and risks of chaos vs. reform paths. 

Is this the final battle for regime change, or can pressure lead to concessions? We seek middle ground amid the fury and hope.

Full Episode January 14th!

America’s national debt is spiraling past control, and Social Security is being used as political cover — not protected. In this episode of The Middle Ground Mic, we break down the uncomfortable truth behind U.S. debt, entitlement spending, and why neither Democrats nor Republicans are being honest with voters.

Is Social Security really “running out”?
 Why does Washington keep borrowing trillions while promising benefits it can’t fund?
 And who actually pays the price when the math finally breaks?

No left. No right. Just facts — and the truth most politicians won’t say out loud.

The United States reportedly launched a major military strike on Caracas, Venezuela — and Nicolás Maduro is allegedly in U.S. custody.

00:00 – This Is Bigger Than You Think
02:05 – Did the U.S. Just Bomb Caracas?
05:20 – Maduro Captured: What’s Being Claimed
09:40 – Justice or Empire?
14:15 – Why This Is Dividing Everyone
19:50 – The Hypocrisy Nobody Wants to Admit
25:30 – If This Was Okay… What’s Next?
