Starvation in Gaza, Elections in Japan, and JD’s Looking for Aliens

This week Seena and Travis take a look at Gaza and the stated Israeli strategy of occupation and “voluntary migration.” Seena remembers the Eggshell Plaintiff from his law school days and explains why a recent NYT correction about starving Palestinian children was misguided at best. We also look into the “Japan First” movement and the nationalist Sanseito party’s gains in recent Japanese elections. And while the world crumbles, we ask why the f*** is JD looking for UFOs?!Articles/Sourceshttps://x.com/UAPJames/status/1951343754276655248https://www.instagram.com/p/DM_wV1RIeIT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=aGU4eXV2dGZpOW1mhttps://youtu.be/Y4whl4oiDjQ?feature=shared&t=100https://www.instagram.com/reel/DC2OMqzOAVy/https://gaza-aid-data.gov.il/main/https://youtu.be/tlyyXUAyQr0?si=RP4_L69KdRPx51Di&t=389https://youtu.be/r7QWply967Q?si=CYqgXu1kY3dQJUTU&t=66https://youtu.be/3vvqRBBkghE?si=17RfK96A3e_cckuT&t=6https://www.facebook.com/reel/4086058841676158https://www.youtube.com/shorts/y9-ACGCC3_Uhttps://youtu.be/SS6Qs-wVQ-Y?feature=shared&t=30https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cntf1U5toY8 Follow The Show: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheForeignReportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/foreignreportshow/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@foreignreportlpnThreads: https://www.threads.net/@foreignreportshowWebsite: https://www.foreignreportshow.com/ Follow the Host:https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/travisirvineusa/?hl=en

Marcus Parks on Epstein Conspiracies, Ukraine, and the End of Trump & Putin’s Situationship

Seena’s back! He &  Travis are joined in the studio by Marcus Parks to talk all the Epstein ugliness. How did this case instigate such intense right-wing theorizing? Will the MAGA-world love for Trump stretch all the way to pedophilia? They also take a look at the long history of US/Ukrainian relations - why is Ukraine so important?  Did we keep our promises? How does Putin work his magic on all presidents and why might Trump’s recent heartbreak might be the one that breaks the spell. And, of course, we have JD Vance corner to celebrate a pretty good Trump on Vance troll.

Trae Crowder on Trump, His Travels, and Meeting JD

This week, comedian and “liberal redneck” Trae Crowder joins the show to talk Trump, his appeal to Southern voters, and why certain chickens may be coming home to roost. Seena and Travis also ask him all about his most recent book, Round Here and Over Yonder, which covers his travels in the UK.

The House Is On Fire, Folks: A Conversation with Constitutional Law & Political Science Professor Corey Brettschneider

This week, Seena and Travis bring back Corey Brettschneider to discuss the recently completed Supreme Court term, focusing primarily on the birthright citizenship/universal injunction case and two cases dealing with religion in schools. Is the house really on fire? Ah, yep. Is there some serious beef between Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson? You bet. Are we in the midst of a self-coup? Quite possibly.

What Is Bibi’s Endgame for Iran, Plus the Big, Beautiful (Piece of Garbage) Bill

This week, Seena and Travis take a frightening look inside the mind of Bibi Netanyahu to try and figure out what his real goals are in Iran. Who is Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and why is he so cozy with Israel? Why would Israel choose to bomb areas in Iran with no nuclear facilities but high populations of ethnic minorities? Why the hell is Bibi nominating Trump for a Noble Peace prize?! We dig into all these questions and also get a little heated reading through some of the finer print in Trump’s new bill.https://youtu.be/CSpW5qNe63w?si=1bI7dZrrZy8h3cDR&t=287https://youtu.be/XADgJtEBRGE?si=mfzNDVbdsCvr7hC3&t=112https://youtube.com/shorts/-oqq6idHqAE?si=6wELNDhjBGW_z8pMhttps://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/06/repub/on-the-fourth-of-july-trump-signs-his-big-beautiful-bill-into-law/https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/iransource/reza-pahlavi-iranian-opposition-hashtag/https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/01/israels-war-on-iran-backfired/?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2024/3/9/analysis-why-are-iranian-monarchists-backing-israel-over-its-gaza-warhttps://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newarab.com/features/new-battle-irans-narrative-media-monarchists-and-diaspora-politicshttps://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/how-supporters-woman-life-freedom-iran-rejected-israel-assaulthttps://www.google.com/search?q=https://jacobin.com/2025/06/reza-pahlavi-iran-monarchy-regime-change-israel-us-foreign-policyhttps://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.newsweek.com/israel-iran-regime-change-opposition-divisive-divided-1909876https://www.google.com/search?q=https://jcpa.org/article/exclusive-the-significance-of-reza-pahlavis-visit-to-israel/https://www.google.com/search?q=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/israel-iran-war-tel-aviv-did-not-achieve-all-its-aims-says-report-did-netanyahus-gamble-backfire/articleshow/111492061.cmshttps://www.google.com/search?q=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/degraded-us-strikes-set-back-irans-nuclear-programme-says-pentagon-estimates-upto-2-year-delay/articleshow/111492055.cmshttps://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-799446 Follow The Show: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheForeignReportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/foreignreportshow/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@foreignreportlpnThreads: https://www.threads.net/@foreignreportshowWebsite: https://www.foreignreportshow.com/ Follow the Host:https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/travisirvineusa/?hl=en
