The media didn’t just get this story wrong, they got caught laundering credibility. From a widely quoted “doctor” later linked to a militant hierarchy, to the viral casualty-numbers firestorm and how selective framing turns statistics into propaganda, the panel walks you through how to spot the tricks in real time...who benefits, what gets omitted, and why “we can’t independently verify” only seems to apply when it’s convenient. Then the conversation swings into Trump’s “phase two” talk and the fantasy that Hamas will disarm, before closing with a cathartic “Scumbag of the Week / Hero of the Week” gauntlet that turns outrage into a practical playbook: how to counter narrative warfare without constantly playing defense.

Israeli intelligence says Washington has its “smoking gun”: Iran didn’t de-escalate, it escalated, with executions surging and reports putting the death toll in the tens of thousands. In this episode you’ll learn how the regime’s crackdown may be even worse than the headlines (including shocking claims about body bags and possible chemical weapons), why the world’s outrage seems selectively switched on and how Davos optimism about a “new Gaza” collides with the uncomfortable reality that Hamas could still be standing. The conversation rips into the incentives-vs-ideology trap, the Qatar/Saudi pressure politics and the dangerous fantasy that you can “economic-plan” your way out of jihadist warfare. It then ends with a blunt moral gut-check: if we can see a massacre in real time, what does it say that we still look away?

Was Trump about to strike Iran, then blinked at the last second? Today, we dig into the whiplash: the U.S. reportedly stood down just as Israelis were bracing for retaliation, while Washington claims executions were “shut down” even as leaked footage and regime messaging suggest the slaughter continued off-camera. You’ll learn how the panel reads the gap between diplomatic talking points and on-the-ground realities (blackouts, propaganda access, “white SIM cards”), why negotiations that ignore the regime’s ideology may be structurally doomed and how Qatar/Turkey and oil politics could be shaping decisions that leave 90 million Iranians trapped...plus a hard-hitting “Scumbag of the Week” segment exposing Western media mouthpieces and a “Heroes” segment highlighting voices pushing for moral clarity.

Iran’s Islamic regime is trying to bury evidence of atrocities the same way it’s done before: by choking off the internet, tightening a blackout and daring the world to look away. "The Quad" panel pulls apart the media double standard (why some atrocities get treated as “claims” while other narratives get reported as fact), exposes the moral collapse of celebrity activism and campus protest culture and tackles the question hanging over everything: if the death toll is truly climbing into the thousands, what would U.S. involvement actually look like and what signals should you watch for next? You’ll come away with a sharper eye for propaganda patterns, a clearer map of the geopolitical chessboard (Iran–Syria–Jordan–U.S.) and a bracing sense of how quickly history can pivot when the cameras go dark.

The Iranian regime is wobbling and for the first time in decades, it feels different. As protests erupt across more than 100 cities, Iranians are no longer chanting vague slogans, they’re openly calling for the return of the Shah. This week, the panel breaks down why this uprising may be the real deal: cracks inside the IRGC, open defections and the sudden re-emergence of Reza Pahlavi as a unifying figure. Add Trump’s ominous warnings, regime brutality caught on camera and Iran’s global terror web, and you get a moment that could redraw the Middle East. Is this the beginning of the end for the Islamic Republic… or its most dangerous phase yet?

A Hanukkah celebration in Sydney became a massacre and the panel on The Quad says this was no accident, no mystery and no coincidence. As at least 15 Jews are murdered at Bondi Beach, the slogan “Globalize the Intifada” is exposed for what it really is: a call to violence with real blood on its hands. The panel connects the dots between jihadist ideology, Western denial, media propaganda and the systematic failure of governments to protect Jewish communities. If you still think these chants are “just rhetoric,” this conversation will change your mind.  

Phase Two or Fantasy? As President Trump ramps up pressure on Israel to advance his peace plan, Gaza spirals deeper into chaos. Hamas still refuses to disarm. The last hostage’s body remains in enemy hands. And yet Doha’s elites, Hollywood celebs, even supposed allies, are all screaming: Move forward. In this episode of The Quad, the panel rips into Qatar’s propaganda machine, Tucker Carlson’s doublespeak, Hollywood’s obsession with freeing terrorists and the West’s terrifying slide into moral collapse.

Israel is under fire, but not just from rockets. As global media races to condemn IDF soldiers over split-second decisions in war zones, this week’s episode of The Quad tears through the lies. From Hamas’s use of human shields finally caught on camera, to the tragic deaths of two children in Gaza, the team dives into the brutal truth of urban warfare—and the hypocrisy of the West. Plus: Netanyahu’s shocking pardon request, Trump’s move against the Muslim Brotherhood, and the influencer sellouts being flown to Qatar while Hamas digs deeper tunnels.
