1. CIA and DoD Briefing: CIA Director John Radcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth briefed senators on the effectiveness of airstrikes ordered by President Donald Trump. Radcliffe compared the Trump administration's swift success with Iran to the prolonged negotiations under President Obama during the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal). He claimed Iran agreed to a ceasefire with Israel within 20 minutes of the strikes, contrasting it with 20 months of negotiations with Obama. 2. Intelligence Claims: Radcliffe and others asserted that Iran’s nuclear program was severely damaged, citing new intelligence from historically reliable sources. Key Iranian nuclear facilities were reportedly destroyed and would take years to rebuild. 3. Media Criticism: The podcast heavily criticizes mainstream media outlets (CNN, MSNBC, NYT) for reporting on a preliminary DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) assessment that suggested only moderate damage. Officials argue that this assessment was based on low-confidence intelligence, possibly influenced by Iranian propaganda. 4. Supporting Statements: Quotes from various sources (UN Atomic Energy Agency, Israeli officials, former intelligence officers) are used to support the claim that the strikes were highly effective. The document accuses the media of spreading misinformation and undermining national security for political reasons. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

🗳️ NYC Mayoral Race & Reaction The episode opens with former President Donald Trump reacting to the victory of a candidate named Mondani in the New York City mayoral primary. Trump and others describe Mondani as a “communist lunatic” and a symbol of the Democratic Party's alleged shift toward Marxism and socialism. The commentary criticizes Mondani’s platform, which includes: Free public transit and housing Rent freezes City-run grocery stores $30 minimum wage Higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations Universal childcare and trans health support 🧠 Ideological Critique The narrative argues that the Democratic Party has fundamentally changed, claiming it has been overtaken by far-left ideologies. It accuses Democrats of importing new voters through immigration to shift political power. The commentary includes inflammatory language and conspiracy-like claims about the party's intentions and the consequences for New York City and the country. 📊 Campaign Strategy & Voter Sentiment Mondani is portrayed as having run a savvy, social-media-driven campaign that resonated with younger, debt-burdened voters. He is quoted discussing the cost of living crisis and the need to listen to voters rather than lecture them. His campaign is framed as a response to economic hardship and a desire to make NYC more affordable. 🖊️ Biden Autopen Controversy The latter part of the document shifts to a separate issue involving Neera Tanden, a former Biden aide. It discusses her congressional testimony about the use of autopen signatures for official documents.
