The Reporter Who Sent Me to Prison Just Exposed Jared Kushner | Episode 31
Years ago, a journalist I trusted gave me up to the FBI, and I went to prison for it. Now that same reporter, Matthew Cole, is reporting that Russian and Dutch intelligence got inside Jared Kushner's personal phone. I'll walk you through the allegations, why this is a live problem with Kushner negotiating with Putin right now, and what I'd tell the sources who talked to him. (Spoiler: get a lawyer.)Plus, I'm handing out our first-ever TrainVek Award to Vivek Ramaswamy. His attack ad starring Amy Acton's estranged mother was already a disaster, and then we learned his star surrogate was charged in a case where kittens died in a hot car. Did nobody on his team Google this woman?We'll also cover Israel's Election Day, including Netanyahu's reported push for strikes on Iran, Ben Gvir's latest outrage, and the three coalition scenarios to watch. Then it's Lula's narrow win in Brazil, and a CIA contractor accused of leaking classified reports to help his girlfriend's career.🗳️ Who should win the next TrainVek?

Meet the Man Set to BEAT Netanyahu on Israel’s Election Day | Episode 30
This election season is officially spiraling out of hand as massive campaign cash and international political maneuvers collide. Days away from Israel's high-stakes October 27th election, Benjamin Netanyahu is fighting a deadlock to hold onto power against a hawkish "centrist" challenger, while the Israeli government takes the absurd step of purchasing television ads directly targeted at American voters in Iowa. We pull back the curtain on this bizarre intersection of foreign influence and follow the dark money flooding into America's biggest midterm races. Finally, we analyze a highly controversial $4 million ad campaign from Vivek Ramaswamy that features his opponent Amy Acton's estranged mother and look at the critical personal context left out of the broadcast.-- -- --Today's Sponsors:American Alternative Assets - Visit http://JohnLovesGold.com, or call (888) GOLD-053 for your free report.-- -- --LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: youtube.com/@realjohnkiriakou-- -- --Connect with me on social media:Instagram — instagram.com/realjohnkiriakouTikTok — tiktok.com/kiriakousbriefingroomX — x.com/johnkiriakou-- -- --Check out my Cameo! https://www.cameo.com/jkiriakou-- -- --📗 My new book “The Ultimate Guide to CIA Skills, Tactics, and Techniques” is available for pre-order on Amazon:https://a.co/d/0caou5V8-- -- --johnkiriakou.com

Riyadh Under Fire: The Major Escalation the Media Is Ignoring | Episode 27
The war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis has escalated dramatically as Riyadh’s international airport was hit by missile strikes twice in forty-eight hours, leaving at least twelve dead and hundreds injured. As Saudi forces strike back hard with widespread bombings across Yemen, we analyze the silence from American media, break down how the White House might react, and look at whether this major escalation will pull the United States directly into a wider Middle Eastern war. We also react to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s sweeping order to investigate and prosecute IDF soldiers who blew the whistle on military conduct in the anonymous "NAZA" investigative documentary.On the domestic front, we debunk the right-wing influencer hoax claiming Texas Senate candidate James Talarico was secretly institutionalized in Ohio, exposing the real political panic driving these campaign-trail conspiracy theories. We then go inside the West Bank to look at a remarkable 60 Minutes package detailing weaponized settler violence and the detention of Palestinian residents. Finally, after years of persistence on the show, we celebrate a major milestone as we have officially made contact with Angry Birds headquarters, before tackling the uncharted legal territory of two botched high-profile military executions.-- -- --Today's Sponsors:DeleteMe - DeleteMe - Visit https://joindeleteme.com/JKBR to get 20% off your DeleteMe plan and use promo code JKBR at checkout.Kalshi - http://kalshi.com/r/JOHNKAmerican Alternative Assets - Visit http://JohnLovesGold.com, or call (888) GOLD-053 for your free report.-- -- --LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: youtube.com/@realjohnkiriakou-- -- --Connect with me on social media:Instagram — instagram.com/realjohnkiriakouTikTok — tiktok.com/kiriakousbriefingroomX — x.com/johnkiriakou-- -- --Check out my Cameo! https://www.cameo.com/jkiriakou-- -- --📗 My new book “The Ultimate Guide to CIA Skills, Tactics, and Techniques” is available for pre-order on Amazon:https://a.co/d/0caou5V8-- -- --johnkiriakou.com
