  • U.S. Military Commanders: Iran War Is GOD'S PLAN for Armageddon - Mikey Weinstein of MRFF

    U.S. Military Commanders: Iran War Is GOD'S PLAN for Armageddon - Mikey Weinstein of MRFF
    2026/03/09

    Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), joins Barry Stevens to discuss the alarming wave of complaints from U.S. military personnel. Over 200 service members from 50 installations have reported that commanders in their chain of command are framing the war in Iran as part of God\'s divine plan to bring about the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming. Weinstein describes how Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth holds monthly Christian Nationalist prayer services in the Pentagon\'s largest auditorium during the duty day, and how this top-down signaling is emboldening commanders to push religious ideology on their subordinates. Weinstein also confirms that some of the Christian Nationalists within the military are in positions involving nuclear weapons.

    Iran: War Crimes and Chaos Are Very Profitable - Col. Lawrence Wilkerson
    2026/03/03

    Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson — former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell at the State Department and Joint Chiefs — joins Paul Jay and gives his unfiltered assessment of the U.S. war on Iran. Wilkerson argues the conflict is unconstitutional, unwinnable, and strategically catastrophic. Topics include: Iran\'s military resilience and long-term strategy, Israel\'s nuclear threats, the depletion of U.S. and Israeli air defense munitions, China\'s push to replace the dollar with the renminbi, the collapse of American alliances worldwide, the threat to the 2026 midterm elections, and whether impeachment proceedings against Trump are inevitable.

  • Faith, Power, and Foreign Policy: A Christian Nationalist Vision - Gerald Horne & Jonathan Katz

    Faith, Power, and Foreign Policy: A Christian Nationalist Vision - Gerald Horne & Jonathan Katz
    2026/02/26

    Trump’s State of the Union and Marco Rubio’s speech at the Munich Security Conference reveal a sweeping — and deeply troubling — vision for American foreign policy. Historian Gerald Horne (University of Houston) and journalist Jonathan Katz (The Gangsters of Capitalism) join Paul Jay to break it down.

    What emerges is less a foreign policy than a neo-colonial project: regime change in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba; a reordering of Europe under American dominance; and an ideology rooted in Christian civilization, white supremacy, and the Nazi theorist Carl Schmitt’s concept of Grossraum — the world divided into spheres where great powers do as they please.

    Katz decodes the fascist dog whistles embedded in Trump’s speech — including a number that traces directly to Nazi message boards — while Horne connects Rubio’s Munich address to a broader rollback of the anti-colonial gains of the post-WWII era and the civil rights movement at home.

    Is this the return of unapologetic imperialism — a neocon project stripped of any pretense of democracy and freedom? And what does Trump’s self-styled role as “king of the world” through the so-called Board of Peace mean for the United Nations and global governance?

  • Do You Trust Epstein Elite With Nuclear Weapons? – Matt Korda & Paul Jay

    Do You Trust Epstein Elite With Nuclear Weapons? – Matt Korda & Paul Jay
    2026/02/24

    The Epstein files are naming names — CEOs, politicians, a current and former president. This is the stratum of people making decisions about nuclear weapons in an uncontrolled arms race with no arms limitation treaties, no diplomatic channels, and AI now integrated into nuclear command systems.

    Paul Jay talks with Matt Korda of the Federation of American Scientists about where the U.S. nuclear modernization program actually stands — the Sentinel ICBM, hundreds of billions in cost overruns, the Golden Dome fantasy, and a launch-on-warning doctrine that even its defenders can’t rationally explain.

    The logic behind ICBMs collapses under scrutiny. The Golden Dome can’t work. The real objective, as with every arms race boondoggle from SAGE to SDI, is the money. As Paul puts it, “It’s not about the dome, it’s about the gold.”

    Meanwhile, Russia and China aren’t talking to Washington. The arms control architecture is gone. And the media is barely covering any of it.

    We need an anti-nuclear movement like the one that existed in the early 1980s. Midterms and a presidential election are coming. Make this an issue.

    Matt Korda is a senior researcher at the Federation of American Scientists.

  • The Cold War Lie That Built the Nuclear Weapons Industry – Paul Jay

    The Cold War Lie That Built the Nuclear Weapons Industry – Paul Jay
    2026/02/11
    Paul Jay joins Maria Hall, Jim Lafferty, and Michael Smith on the Law and Disorder radio show. They discuss his upcoming documentary How to Stop a Nuclear War, based on extensive interviews with Daniel Ellsberg and narrated by Emma Thompson. Jay reveals how post-World War II economic decisions drove nuclear weapons expansion, explaining why the Soviet threat was largely manufactured according to declassified CIA documents. He breaks down why Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system actually increases nuclear war risk, discusses the dangers of AI in nuclear command and control, and outlines seven concrete steps citizens can demand to reduce the threat of nuclear catastrophe, including ending presidential sole authority to launch nuclear weapons and negotiating new arms control treaties.

  • The Golden Dome Scam: How Defense Contractors Are Selling a $2 Trillion Nuclear Lie | Paul Jay

    The Golden Dome Scam: How Defense Contractors Are Selling a $2 Trillion Nuclear Lie | Paul Jay
    2026/02/04
    In 1947, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists created the “Doomsday Clock” to draw attention to the existential dangers posed by human technology. The time was set to seven minutes to midnight, with midnight symbolizing the destruction of life on Earth. Just two years before, in 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The world saw firsthand the potential of nuclear annihilation. As World War II was ending, a different kind of conflict was underway: the Cold War. And over the next four decades, the United States and Soviet Union competed for nuclear dominance—not only through foreign policy and military strategy, but also on the home front, using propaganda and retaliation against critics. Throughout this period, people of conscience, like Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers in the early 70s, repeatedly sounded the alarm. Ellsberg and others warned that there was no way to “win” a nuclear war. If one side launched a nuclear weapon, the other would inevitably respond, leading to mutual destruction. Today, more than 30 years after the end of the Cold War, the nuclear arms race continues. According to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, nine nations continue to stockpile nuclear weapons, including the US, Russia, China, Israel, Iran, Pakistan, France, the United Kingdom, and North Korea. On January 27, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock forward to 85 seconds to midnight—the closest humanity has ever come to global catastrophe. The question remains: Is there time and the will to change our trajectory, to learn from the past, and avoid a path to global destruction?

  • Is ICE a Crack in Trump’s Mussolini Project? – Gerald Horne, Jonathan M. Katz, Paul Jay

    Is ICE a Crack in Trump’s Mussolini Project? – Gerald Horne, Jonathan M. Katz, Paul Jay
    2026/01/29
    Gerald Horne, Johnathan M. Katz join Paul Jay: Trump’s ICE killings in Minneapolis have exposed deep splits inside the Trump camp and among business and political elites, many who now see him as dangerously unstable for capitalism itself. These fractures create a rare opening: massive street protests and sustained organizing can push harder than ever, while progressives use the crisis to run bold anti‑ICE, pro‑worker campaigns and turn elite disunity into real electoral gains.

  • Carney’s Bold Davos Speech—Where’s the Bold Policy? – Paul Jay

    Carney’s Bold Davos Speech—Where’s the Bold Policy? – Paul Jay
    2026/01/23
    Mark Carney’s Davos speech was widely praised as a bold stand against the breakdown of the so-called “rules-based order” and the rise of naked great-power politics under Trump. But speeches do not change power relations. In this wide-ranging analysis, Paul Jay argues that Trump did not rupture the global order so much as strip away its cover—exposing a U.S. system in internal crisis, increasingly authoritarian at home and openly coercive abroad. From hemispheric dominance to trade war and militarization, Jay situates Canada inside that system: deeply embedded in U.S. military strategy, financial capitalism, and projects like missile defense and Arctic militarization. Without a break from those foundations, talk of sovereignty and middle-power independence risks becoming performance rather than substance. The issue is not tone, but whether Canada—and others—will challenge the economic and military structures of U.S. power, or merely bargain for a safer place within them.
