*Note - this podcast was recorded before Israel’s attack on Iran This week Seena and Travis walk through the timeline of Trump’s decision to send the National Guard, and later the Marines, to Los Angeles, in response to localized protests against his immigration policies, a decision that knocks the US another step down the empire in decline ladder. Always a fun moment. They also discuss recent developments in Trump's Qatari plane fiasco, Israel’s decision to deport Greta Thunberg, and the implementation of Trump’s new travel ban. They close the show with a recent report that the TSA is developing VR technology that will allow it to virtually “feel” passengers being screened at airports, which is definitely not creepy at all.

The Foreign Report from Last Podcast Network dives into the wildest corners of global politics with sharp analysis and pitch-black humor. Each week, producer, comedian, and lawyer Seena Ghaznavi teams up with a rotating crew of journalists, experts, and policy nerds to unpack the stories shaping our world, from power struggles and propaganda wars to strange moments of competitive authoritarianism and beyond. Expect smart, irreverent commentary that cuts through official narratives, explains why today’s headlines actually matter, and still finds room to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Whether you obsess over international news or just want someone to translate the chaos into something you can argue about with friends, this podcast has you covered. Hit play, listen episodes that challenge your assumptions, and stay just informed enough to worry productively.
