How is the U.S. pushing for a civil war in Iran?
What that does, it gets you the show emailed out to you a little before it goes out to the public. And in full. It's the whole show. Right. In full and without the ads. Yep. Everything else is going to be available. We don't keep anything behind a paywall, but it comes up later and then you have to skip the ads. Well, we keep Friday shows. The second half of the Friday show is behind a paywall. And what's actually most important about that is it's supporting independent journalism. Yeah. Right. And it supports our ability to do this because...
What was Spain's response to Trump's remarks on the Iran conflict?
During a lot of the Epstein coverage, a lot of that stuff was demonetized. A lot of this is going to be demonetized, which means YouTube and the other platforms don't run ads up against it. And then we don't get revenue out of it. We don't care because we have an enormous number of premium subscribers who keep it going. And so the benefit is nice. It's better to get the whole show and not have the ads. But really what you're doing is signaling support for journalism that is just going to be honest and tell you what's going on. This morning I woke up and opened up the New York Times app. And the first thing was like it said U.S. and Israel attack Iranian military installations. Like, OK, well, that. That is true.
It's not the whole truth. And we're going to talk about later in the program what is being done to one of the oldest and most populated cities on the planet, an indiscriminate carpet bombing. We have a lot of video that you're going to want to stick around for, a video from Dubai that we're going to get to in just a moment as well, all around the Middle East.
How are gas prices affected by the current geopolitical situation?
And Donald Trump was speaking again in the Oval Office yesterday, answering questions from the press that are a little bit all over the place. That's probably not a surprise to anybody, but we will be synthesizing those with what other people in the administration have said, what people said walking out of a briefing on Capitol Hill yesterday, what members said walking out of a briefing on Capitol Hill yesterday. Ryan and your colleagues Jeremy Scahill and Murtaza Hussain are going to be with us. Jeremy flaked on us. It's going to be Mazdo. Jeremy. But now we got to call him out. Yes, that's right. No, he's actually interviewing a top Iranian official at the moment. And the journalism always takes precedence over the punditry.
So we're not actually angry with him. So that's fine. Yeah, I agree. But Maz will be great. My colleague, Murtaza, over at Dropsite, a couple of years ago, he said he spent his whole life learning about geopolitics, international law, human rights, thinking that that was...
What insights does Murtaza Hussain provide about the Middle East conflict?
the thing that he needed to understand to be a foreign policy reporter. Several years ago, he was like, that's not it, actually. It's weapon systems. And it's kind of military doctrine because it is force that is going to be reshaping the world in the decades ahead.
