The Bulwark Podcast - Al Gore: Trump Has Made a Historic Mistake

For nearly 50 years, since the Ayatollah seized power in Iran and took Americans hostage, the U.S. has known that the regime could single-handedly shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Trump was reportedly warned of this threat, but the failed casino owner blew it off. And now Iran unilaterally controls 20% of the world’s oil supply and an even higher percentage of the fertilizer inventory. But the former vice president tells Tim that Trump’s judgment has been even worse on climate change. On the 20th anniversary of “An Inconvenient Truth,” Gore discusses how the rest of the global economy has ‘miraculously’ responded to the climate threat. He also gives high marks to Mamdani, explains Trump’s use of fear, shares details about his relationship with Clinton—and how his actions after the 2000 election inspired Mike Pence on Jan. 6.

Former Vice President Al Gore joins Tim Miller.

1A - The Environmental Cost Of War

The morning after major airstrikes by Israel on Iran’s oil facilities, black rain fell in Tehran. The city of nearly 10 million people was engulfed in thick black smoke.

The World Health Organization is warning that “the conflict in the Middle East poses serious threats to public health.” A new report from the Climate and Community Institute finds that the war unleashed over 5 million tons of carbon in just two weeks. That’s more climate pollution than Iceland generates in a year.

As the death toll grows, so does the environmental cost. We break it down with a panel of experts.

Global News Podcast - Israel says it’s killed an Iranian naval commander

The US military says an Israeli airstrike that killed the Iranian revolutionary guard's naval commander, Alireza Tangsiri, "makes the region safer". Israel's defence minister says he was directly responsible for blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has not confirmed his death. We look at how the Middle East conflict is affecting daily lives in countries as far apart as Kenya and the Philippines. In other news, a lavish welcome for the leader of Belarus in North Korea. And a sunscreen scandal in Australia prompts a rethink.

Bad Faith - Episode 561 – Pedagogy of the Suppressed (w/ Chris Alfonso)

As leftists, the algorithm isn't our friend. With billionaires buying platforms to quash pro-Palestine content and suppress left views, it's wonderful to see the community expanding with figures like the TikTok Communist & pedological superstar known as Jean Paul Fartre, who has been going viral with Marxist breakdowns and explainers of current events. On this episode, we cover the right's reaction to the Cuba flotilla, harm reduction discourse, Chomsky's (alleged?) role as a member of the "compatible left," love on the left, whether one should identify as a Communist, how the left can beat the "will you condemn x?" trap, the limits of Zohran & electoralism, & more.
