Episode Description
A 10–15 day countdown, B-2s looming in the background and a Tucker Carlson meltdown colliding with the Iran crisis, this "Jerusalem Minute" feels like the calm before a storm. Josh Hasten and Alex Traiman break down the “shockwaves” interview between Tucker Carlson and U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, unpacking the rhetoric, the accusations and what they argue is a growing pressure campaign aimed at weakening the U.S.–Israel relationship. Then the conversation pivots to the biggest clock on the wall: escalating U.S. signals toward Iran, what “red lines” really mean, why a “limited strike” could become something far bigger and how Israel is preparing for Hezbollah retaliation. You’ll walk away understanding the media narratives shaping the American right, the strategic logic behind the Iran deadline and why Gaza, and the question of Hamas disarmament, still hangs over everything.
