Turns out, out-competing China is the reason for Trump's "return to 19th-century tariffs." But as we've been seeing, Trump "flinched" when the US bond market spiked, something he apparently didn't expect to happen. And so now, just a couple of weeks after the introduction of tariffs, the US government is "pausing" the tariffs - and even exempting from tariffs the bulk of key imports the US depends...

What's Trump's plan? HAS Trump got a plan?! He promised American voters "a golden age," so ending globalization is presumably necessary to achieve that, but what if his new tariffs regime opens Pandora's box? Running Time: 01:44:13 Download: MP3 — 95.4 MB

At long last, 'all remaining JFK Files' are being released, but IS it all of them, what do they reveal, and do they tell us who killed JFK, and why? The assassinations of both Kennedys have long since been thoroughly investigated and analyzed, to the point that it is no longer contentious to state that they were killed by a clique of operators from within 'the intelligence community'. The only rem...

A rare cosmic alignment between Washington and Moscow means a peace settlement in Ukraine is within reach, but there's a catch: Russia is winning on the battlefield so it wants a real peace deal, not another tricky 'ceasefire'. While saying he wants to "stop all the killing in Ukraine," Trump apparently has no problem using military force to bring Yemen's Houthis to heel. Multiple other Western (a...

Mayhem in Syria this weekend as hundreds - and possibly thousands - of Alawite Syrians are slaughtered by the new 'diverse, jihad-reformed' Western-backed regime in Damascus. Although the spark was apparently armed resistance by the local population against 'policing' incursions by HTS militia, their brutal response of collective punishment was beyond the pale. Qui bono? The usual suspects. And th...

Well, he had that coming. The extraordinary showdown in the Oval Office of the White House last Friday between President Trump, Vice-President Vance, and Ukrainian President Zelensky appears to have killed the agreement between the US government and Kiev for US corporate interests to 'buy into' Ukrainian natural resources and thus have a vested interest in defending Ukraine's interests in the upco...

Trump talks peace with Putin over Ukraine: is this the end for the worst European war since WW2? Meanwhile, JD Vance's speech in Munich stuns the stewards of 'the Western Order', who aren't used to being lectured on democracy and human rights. RFK Jr and Tulsi Gabbard are confirmed as HHS Secretary and DNI, signalling likely further significant transformations to the US government. Running Time: 0...

All week long, US government agency USAID's 'charity work' has been laid bare, revealing (to those who've never seen it before) rank corruption at the heart of the US empire. Next week, the Federal Reserve? The Pentagon? Or will this 'line-by-line auditing' of the US government's bloated budget be limited to relatively tame items like small grants for 'trans operas'? If the Trump Avengers are seri...

Two air accidents a couple of days apart, one in the heart of Washington DC, the other in Philadelphia... one may have been an accident, but both? Also on this NewsReal, tense times in the Senate as Trump's MAGA nominations - RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel - are grilled, and trouble on the horizon for empire-lovers as Trump's tariffs kick off in earnest. Running Time: 02:19:06 Download: MP3...

Week one of Trump's second term has been a doozy! This week on NewsReal, we look at the good, the bad, and the ugly developments in Trump's 'tornado' of activity. Internationally, with his shocking insistence on returning to "100% tariffs" rather than so-called free trade, and that Denmark "hand over Greenland" to the USA while "Canada has no sovereignty so it may as well become the 51st US state,...

The world awaits the return of Donald Trump as president of the USA. Will the champion of free speech stop the banning of social media app TikTok? Assuming he wants to, can he stop Israel's genocide of Palestinians? Running Time: 01:40:26 Download: MP3 — 92 MB

Two major brush fires in the Greater Los Angeles Area have turned suburbs into war zones, and current weather conditions mean they could continue burning for another week. Amid reports of arson, looting and incompetence, many are wondering whether this natural disaster was entirely natural. Meanwhile the British government is still feeling the heat over its handling of the 'grooming gangs' scandal...

Pure coincidence that two trucks were rented by two military guys and used to commit terror attacks in two US cities late on New Year's Eve? We think not! This week on NewsReal, Joe, Niall and guest Adam review the farce of an 'investigation' into the sickening 'crowd-plow' in New Orleans - blamed on 'ISIS' - and the equally nonsensical explanations for why an active-duty Green Beret super-soldier...

Musk was only trying to point out that the world's 'top geniuses' should come and work in the USA, wasn't he? In an unexpected turn of events, a raging debate has flared on social media platform X over the hot topic of inward, LEGAL migration, resulting in the champion of free speech himself cussing and fuming at MAGA supporters over their discovery that the very same legal migration routes Musk a...

As much as we may 'want to believe', it's probably just the US govt lying again! This week on NewsReal, we discuss the spate of 'UFO-drone' videos and reports coming out of the US Northeast, primarily over the state of New Jersey. Is this a classic 'UFO flap'? Or are the flashing lights and 'plane-like' design of these 'UFOs' pointing to man-made origins? The US govt is being very coy about the ph...

8 years after the Russian military freed most of Syria from the terror grip of Western proxy army 'ISIS', the remainders of that horde, holed up in Idlib province in northwestern Syria, last week broke out of containment - clearly with Turkish and Western approval - and re-took Syria's second-largest city, Aleppo. First hour of this NewsReal: Joe & Niall recap the Astana peace process that 'fr...

Russia's hypersonic response to the US government giving 'Ukraine' the green-light to launch long-range missiles into Russia is a stark warning. Will the West take heed? While runaway 'hot war' resulting in 'mutually assured destruction' remains an unlikely outcome, the West's dear leaders are so supremely confident that Russia is bluffing, it looks like Russia is going to have to hit at least a f...

Trump's initial nominations for cabinet positions are a mixed bag, to say the least. Congress has yet to vet them, but the RINOs (Republicans in name only) can't block all of Trump's 'Avengers', surely? Joe & Niall run through the list in the first hour of this NewsReal, then assess the one major issue Team Trump could realistically 'solve' in the coming year: the Russia-Ukraine War. Running T...

A stunning electoral victory for Trump indeed marks the most amazing political comeback in American history. Amid all the tears of Never-Trumpers, liberal-left ideologues, and NATO boomers, resounding vindication for the multiple millions of courageous dissidents who were mocked, cancelled, bullied and sometimes jailed by agents of a regime which should now rightfully be consigned to history. Will...

Joe & Niall are back this week with two main topics: final thoughts on what could happen in the upcoming US election, not just this week but in the months ahead until a new administration takes the reins in January. Ordinarily, Trump would surely win in a landslide, but with election fraud now so widespread and out-in-the-open, it's possible the Deep State intends to swipe it for Harris. In a...

Israel has launched what looks like its 'final solution' in Gaza, massacring Palestinian refugees in the north of the Strip and cutting off food, water and aid supplies. Meanwhile Israel is threatening to bomb the US peacekeeping forces in Southern Lebanon as it continues 'softening up' that country with terror-bombing, likely ahead of full ground-war intervention. Everything appears to be going I...

Eliminating Hezbollah's leadership, and Hamas's leadership, doesn't seem to have 'satisfied' the Israeli regime, which is perpetually paranoid about its neighbors' intentions. This week on NewsReal, Joe & Niall discuss the latest escalations in the Middle-East, and where they're likely leading to. Running Time: 01:21:24 Download: MP3 — 74.5 MB

Israel scored another major 'PR victory' with many Westerners when it blew off the hands of thousands of Lebanese people last week. But the Levantine enclave also has a problem. And it's not the normal kind of problem. This week on NewsReal, Joe & Niall examine what could lead a country's government to spend decades plotting to remote-detonate thousands of technological devices in a neighborin...

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer took his entire cabinet to Washington last week for a pow-wow with their American war allies to plead his case for allowing Ukraine to use long-range precision weapons to target Russian military bases and missile launch sites deep within Russia. Putin said Russia will 'respond in kind' and, although no one knows what that means, the Anglo-Americans are confident...

RFK Jr's teaming up with Trump is an unexpected development in the US presidential election campaign. Will it cement a Trump win? Or is the wall-to-wall favorable media coverage for Harris going to secure it for Her 'campaign of joy'? This election has unique features - Kennedy democrats supporting Trump, and Bush era NeoCons supporting Harris - but isn't it 'the same old' when it's 'Israel first'...
