Over 12,000 Killed in Iran as Shah's Son Eyes Return and JD Hand Waves Murder in Minneapolis

This week, Seena breaks down the Pahlavi dynasty in Iran– how it started, what happened during the Iranian revolution, and how Reza Pahlavi fits into the current situation. Is reverting to a monarchy the pathway to a secular democracy or a slide backwards? We don’t know, but one thing is clear: anything is better than the current regime. We also look into Trump’s embarrassing attempt to take down Jerome Powell, Pakistan’s kangaroo court, and Australia’s crackdown on hate speech. We also raise our blood pressure watching JD Vance’s attempts to gaslight the public over the murder of Renee Good.Notes/Links:https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/us/politics/jerome-powell-fed-inquiry-trump.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20260112&instance_id=169149&nl=the-morning®i_id=61617578&segment_id=213526&user_id=938bf81e2a681e73b55de1f8ba3e8d23https://youtu.be/VWi_oyqRUfI?si=CRBkADzC9btFES3q&t=24https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/powell20260111a.htm?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20260112&instance_id=169149&nl=the-morning®i_id=61617578&segment_id=213526&user_id=938bf81e2a681e73b55de1f8ba3e8d23https://x.com/brendanpedersen/status/2010836111384269280?s=46&t=Rt3obzYwRA_nH1pyOmaHPQ&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=emailhttps://www.dropsitenews.com/p/commonwealth-secretariat-lodges-dissenthttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-13/neo-nazi-group-national-socialist-network-to-disband/106225638https://www.cleveland.com/news/2026/01/vp-vance-defends-ice-officer-in-fatal-minneapolis-shooting-announces-new-doj-position.htmlhttps://minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/08/repub/defiant-vance-scolds-reporters-over-descriptions-of-minneapolis-ice-shooting/https://x.com/Acyn/status/2009073815066947750?s=20https://x.com/atrupar/status/2009334128433406234?s=20https://x.com/atrupar/status/2009340240314393028?s=20https://x.com/Acyn/status/2009339527622742509?s=20 Follow The Show: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheForeignReportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/foreignreportshow/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@foreignreportlpnThreads: https://www.threads.net/@foreignreportshowWebsite: https://www.foreignreportshow.com/ Follow the Host:https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/travisirvineusa/?hl=en Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
