Pod Save America - Will Trump & Netanyahu Let Gaza Starve?

Donald Trump splits with Benjamin Netanyahu and acknowledges that Gaza is experiencing "real starvation"—but will he pressure Israel to end the war and allow more aid in? Lovett, Favreau, and Tommy react to the latest developments in Gaza, Trump's shifting and typically incoherent comments on the situation, and why it's time for Democrats to change their approach to Israel. Then, they dive into Trump's new story about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and check in on that "free" plane he received from the Qatari government. Later, Tommy sits down with Israeli journalist Amir Tibon to discuss how the aid shortages in Gaza got so bad, and how Israel's far right influences Netanyahu.

The Indicator from Planet Money - The hottest multilateral club doesn’t include the US

BRICS is an economic alliance of countries that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and several other nations. They met earlier this month to discuss everything from international law to global health. President Trump, however, is not a fan of BRICS and threatened members with increased tariffs.

So why has this alliance generated so much animosity from the President? Today on the show, we talk to the economist who coined the term "BRICs" about the origins of the group and why the international economic organizations have been western dominated for so long.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - The Starvation Blood Libel

We have to restrain our rage on today's podcast at the now-blanket assertions of a blood libel against Israel—that it is deliberately causing death by hunger in Gaza, conveniently everywhere simultaneous to Hamas tanking a cease-fire negotiation with Israel. The attacks on Israel's immorality are themselves the true immorality. Give a listen.

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Independent investigative journalist and author of One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union between Intelligence & Crime That Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein Whitney Webb returns to Bad Faith to weigh in on Donald Trump's unwillingness to release the Epstein files and the connection between Trump, Epstein, Israeli intelligence, and America's unwillingness to break from Israel as it escalates its genocide in Palestine. Webb clarifies that Epstein provided secret info to the FBI in 2008 as part of his plea deal, making him an informant (as was Trump-booster Peter Thiel) and connects the dots among key players. She also unpacks her new bombshell reporting on Italy's Donald Trump Flavio Briatore, his connection to Epstein benefactor & Victoria's Secret owner Les Wexner, & offers evidence that Trump may be a material witness to Epstein's sex crimes.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Zoroastrianism

Sometime between the 7th century and 13th century BC, a man was born in Eastern Persia who had a revolutionary idea.

He claimed that there wasn’t a multiple gods, but rather just one god.

He established a religion which, at various times, was one of the most followed in the world. Thousands of years later, it still has adherents, although only a fraction of what it once was.

Learn more about Zoroastrianism, its origins, and its tenets on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
