Tommy & Ben dig into the FBI&#x2019;s raid on John Bolton and how Pete Hegseth&#x2019;s firing of the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency fits into Trump&#x2019;s ongoing ideological purges of the US intelligence community. They discuss Israel&#x2019;s criminal &#x201C;double tap&#x201D; strike on Gaza&#x2019;s Nasser Hospital, The Free Press&#x2019;s sanctimonious reaction to criticism of their reporting about starvation in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu&#x2019;s constant moving of the goalposts on a ceasefire deal, why Trump&#x2019;s meeting South Korean president Lee Jae Myung was humiliating for America, Trump&#x2019;s lies and delusions about being a peacemaker, the latest on Iran negotiations, why Australia expelled Iranian diplomats, and Putin&#x2019;s answer to Eurovision. Then, Tommy speaks with Franklin Nossiter, Sahel Analyst at the International Crisis Group, about the complex dynamics in a region where military juntas, jihadists, and foreign powers are all jostling for influence.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, <a href="https://youtu.be/LipoQmf9r5w">click&#xA0;here</a>.
