Audio Mises Wire - Get the US Out of the Middle East
Hamas‘s invasion of Israel happened despite decades of US intervention and spending in favor of Tel Aviv. Yet, this ongoing conflict has nothing at all to do with the safety and security of the United States itself. It's time for the US to get out.

1A - The Aftermath Of US Strikes On Iranian Nuclear Sites
With strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday, President Donald Trump has brought the United States into Israel's war with Iran.
Israel began its campaign against Iran 10 days ago with what it called a "preemptive strike." Now, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned on social media that Iran "reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people."
Iran has so far retaliated only on Israeli sites. Some 40,000 American troops on the ground across the Middle East are on alert.
We discuss the latest and look ahead to what could happen next.

The Allusionist - 211. Four Letter Words: -gate
The other day was the 53rd anniversary of the break-in at the Watergate Hotel, which not only caused a lot of political uproar, it had a big linguistic legacy: the suffix -gate to mean a scandal. Today, as part of Four Letter Word season, we have a list of -gates - royal, sporting, political, food, showbiz - it's a non-exhaustive list because there are so many, and new ones are being spawned all the time. Content warning for all sorts of bad human behaviour.
At theallusionist.org/gate you'll find a transcript of this episode, plus links to more information about many of the -gates, and to the rest of Four Letter Word season.
Also check theallusionist.org/events for upcoming live shows, including a special collab with Material Girls podcast, and an event with Samin Nosrat for her new book Good Things.
Support the show at theallusionist.org/donate and as well as keeping this independent podcast going, you also get behind-the-scenes glimpses about every episode, livestreams with me and my collection of dictionaries, and the charming and supportive Allusioverse Discord community.
This episode was produced by me, Helen Zaltzman, on the unceded ancestral and traditional territory of xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Marketplace All-in-One - Are federal cuts threatening food safety?
Last week, a listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat meals sold at Walmart and Kroger led to hospitalizations and three deaths. Major DOGE cuts targeted administrative and communications staff at food safety agencies, and some experts worry there could be further weakening of America's food safety systems. We'll hear more. But first: We'll give an update on oil markets and the Middle East, and learn about the work left to do on the big tax and spending bill.
Focus on Africa - Inside Cape Town’s gang wars
The South African city of Cape Town is one of the wealthiest cities in Africa, but it's also one of the most unequal. The city has now become the country's gang capital with more than a hundred gangs fighting for control of the lucrative drugs trade. We hear from a local journalist who grew up near one of the most volatile communities in the country, Hanover Park.
Also, why the UNESCO protected town of Djenne in Mali is becoming a burden for locals.
And the African diaspora community wanting to lay claim to a tiny piece of land, tucked betweeen Sudan and Egypt.
