I respect Matt, and we should get the history right, but this is not the time to downplay the malign influence of Israel on US foreign policy, or to continue to be cowed by the cynical use of anti-Semitism on behalf of Israeli impunity.

The one interview I would want to see happen above all interviews right now would be to watch @TuckerCarlson sit across from @RTErdogan for 90 minutes and break down everything that has happened in the region from Iran to Gaza and Syria to Ukraine. Tucker is at the top of his game right now and Erdogan is the ultimate insider on all four major issues. It would be an incredible interview.

SCOOP: CIA source tells me the CIA has hard evidence that Turkey, and more specifically the Erdogan @RTErdogan administration, has specifically directed spending for podcasters to undermine the Trump administration’s Middle East agenda. The CIA has evidence of this Turkish funding going to at least one female podcaster and at least one male podcaster. Turkey is the largest financier of the Muslim Brotherhood.

In 'The Turkishness Contract,' Barış Ünlü studies the historical process by which Turkishness developed between the state and its citizens. We explore its late Ottoman roots and the often unspoken behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs that govern Turkishness. ottomanhistorypodcast.com/2026/03/turkis…



I spent way too much time analyzing a one-minute clip of Erdoğan eating a pastry. Link below.
