  1. Predicting the Midterms: Is the Blue Wave Real? | Episode 33

    Show notes

    On today’s Election Day special of The Briefing Room, I start with a milestone: our episode “What Really Happened on October 7th” just passed a million views. That’s a fitting moment, right after the Israeli elections. I look at what a Gadi Eisenkot government would actually change, and at his surprise coalition deal with Arab parties that could push the opposition past 61 seats.

    Then we head to the races that could decide the Senate. In Michigan, Haley Stevens lost her primary and spent three months as a loyal Democrat. Then on Halloween she endorsed Republican Mike Rogers. What do you get for burning down your career days before an election? In South Carolina, Lindsey Graham’s sister says national security “isn’t really her thing,” and she has a few choice words for her brother.

    Down in Texas, Elon Musk has poured nearly $190 million into Ken Paxton’s campaign. Paxton is the attorney general who regulates Musk’s businesses. I ask whether James Talarico is finally the Democrat who turns Texas blue. In Iowa, a state Trump won by 13 points could elect a Democratic governor, thanks to a GOP ticket with some serious baggage. And in Alaska, we’ve got “Decoy Dan,” a mysterious operative named “Zane,” an FBI investigation, and a DOJ lawsuit to block certification. Did Mary Peltola’s people just hand Trump the story he wanted?

    Stick around at the end for my Halloween costumes.

  2. Netanyahu Loses Big Time. Will It Matter? Israel Election Results Arrive | Episode 32

    Show notes

    Netanyahu’s coalition just lost its majority, so why might he stay in power for months? On this election edition of The Briefing Room, former CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou breaks down the week’s biggest results at home and abroad.

    We start in Israel, where Netanyahu’s bloc fell to about 50 seats, Arab parties posted record numbers, and “No one” became a top contender for prime minister. John explains the coalition math and why Netanyahu doesn’t have to win to stay in office. Then it’s on to Brazil’s shock result, as Lula wins a historic fourth term and Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede before leaving for the United States.

    Back home, actual votes are in. Democrats are out-voting Republicans early in Florida, New Jersey has swung roughly 30 points, and Trump’s final campaign stops say a lot about how nervous the White House is. John also has an update on Matthew Cole, the reporter whose story helped send him to prison, as doubts about Cole’s Kushner allegations grow from Barak Ravid to Jon Stewart. Plus, a shouting match at the UN between Ambassador Mike Waltz and Cuba’s foreign minister, and a reported $1 billion cash offer from Saudi Arabia to get the Houthis to stop bombing its oil facilities.

  3. The Reporter Who Sent Me to Prison Just Exposed Jared Kushner | Episode 31

    Show notes

    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? Drop your nominations in the comments!

  4. Meet the Man Set to BEAT Netanyahu on Israel’s Election Day | Episode 30

    Show notes

    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.

  6. Greek Ambassador Job Opening?? Trump, Put Me In! | Episode 28

    Show notes

    Is President Trump waiting until after the midterms to launch another round of strikes in the Middle East?

    On today's episode of John Kiriakou's Briefing Room, we break down Trump's extraordinary warning to the Houthis following their devastating attacks on Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly pushing for renewed strikes against Iran before HIS Election Day in Israel.

    Then, a suspected spy inside OpenAI. The FBI has arrested a Saudi engineer accused of planting sophisticated surveillance equipment inside the company's San Francisco offices. What was he trying to uncover, and who was he working for?

    And finally, with U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle resigning, we have a pitch for her replacement! A man with deep knowledge of the country, culture, and language. One request: he might need a presidential pardon first.

    All that and more on John Kiriakou's Briefing Room.

  7. Riyadh Under Fire: The Major Escalation the Media Is Ignoring | Episode 27

    Show notes

    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.

    Show notes

    A classified CIA assessment warns Israel is “one spark away” from collapse. Hours later, Germany's former intelligence chief is arrested in a sprawling treason plot involving a steakhouse heiress, an Israeli spy firm, and an attempted kidnapping.

    In this episode, we break down the shocking espionage scandal upending Berlin and the massive "polycrisis" erupting across France as hundreds of thousands of protestors take to the streets just six months before a pivotal presidential election. Plus, a look at the official Angry Birds YouTube channel putting out a suspiciously familiar video right after our recent tier list dropped.

    This episode combines striking visual data from the ground with exclusive political insight. We begin by examining the scale of destruction in Gaza using newly updated Google Earth imagery and UN reports detailing 61 million tonnes of debris. Next, we dive into an extraordinary insider account from top Middle East adviser Brett McGurk, revealing the intense frustration inside the Biden White House, a heated phone call where the President threatened to cut off military aid to Israel, and the tense Situation Room standoff against Iranian missiles. Finally, we pivot to the upcoming midterm elections to break down the high-stakes Senate race in Michigan, where candidate Abdul El-Sayed has built an unexpected, game-changing coalition.

  12. Netanyahu Secretly Flew to Dubai: Now We Know Why | Episode 23

    Show notes

    In today's episode, we're diving into a stunning new investigative report revealing that Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly made a secret trip to the UAE. Sources say the Israeli Prime Minister personally asked President Mohamed bin Zayed to deny that he had warned Netanyahu about Hamas prior to the October 7th attacks.

    We also take a closer look at the rising human cost in the Strait of Hormuz, where new NBC News reporting reveals the Pentagon quietly increased its official casualty count of wounded American service members.

    Plus, we react to some of the week's biggest political and public clips: from Donald Trump revealing he told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to "take it easy" on striking Russian oil refineries, to Bill Gates explaining his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein by claiming he was told Epstein could help raise billions for global health.

    From there, we turn our attention to the upcoming midterms, shifting our focus to Iowa, where a pair of highly fascinating statewide races are completely changing the political map.

    And finally, we look back 25 years at a pivotal moment in history: the incredible 9/11 response mission of the CIA's Team JAWBREAKER.

  13. Major Drama at the United Nations Summit & My Angry Birds Tier List | Episode 22

    Show notes

    UN week in New York is never short on drama and this year, the tension behind closed doors spilled right up to the microphone. In today's episode, I’m breaking down some remarkable moments from the United Nations General Assembly, including extraordinary threats, surprising walkouts, and the latest verbal fireworks involving the leaders of Iran, Pakistan, and Syria.

    Then, we're shifting gears to the midterm elections. We take a close look at a critical battleground race in the Michigan U.S. Senate election, where a highly predictable (but totally hypocritical) shift in strategy tells us exactly how worried Republicans are about their internal polling. Plus, I react to a shocking media blackout at the White House after major news networks collectively decided to stand together and suspend coverage.

    Finally, because you asked for it, we are pivoting from heavy geopolitics to mobile gaming. The comment section has been begging for this, so we delivered. Check it out now on Briefing Room.

Meanwhile, the Houthis struck Riyadh as their conflict with Saudi Arabia escalates, confronting the United States with difficult choices over whether and how to become more involved.

    Then, a remarkable CNN investigation: the U.S. military reportedly came close to intercepting and boarding a Chinese vessel (an act of war) after an AI-assisted intelligence report falsely identified its cargo as components of a nuclear weapons program.

    Plus, the latest chapter in Ed Sheeran trying to do clean-up for his Macklemore controversy.

A new 60 Minutes hidden-camera investigation revealed the inside world of so-called “pardon brokers.” An Anthropic whistleblower said AI could potentially “kill us all.” And most importantly, I walked the runway at New York Fashion Week.

  18. Ep.17 - The CIA’s Hollywood Secrets & Fetterman’s Staffer Mutiny

    Show notes

    Think the world of movie espionage is pure fiction? Think again. We explore the real-world history of how the Central Intelligence Agency heavily influenced Hollywood classics, pulling back the veil on the "reel vs. real" dynamics of global intelligence.

    Then, a massive internal war broke out in the office of Senator John Fetterman. Following a damning Wall Street Journal investigation exposing leaked text messages, a group of former staffers launched a social media campaign threatening to drop even more damaging material. We unpack the text messages, Fetterman's sharp pushback labeling them "disgruntled smears," and what this mutiny means for his career.

  19. Ep.16 - Keeping Pressure on the Epstein Files AND Exposing West Bank Settler Extremism

    Show notes

    Watch as we break down Massie reading the names of 14 Epstein co-conspirators directly on the floor of Congress as he proposed an Epstein transparency bill once again. Meanwhile, we take a look at Milo Yiannopoulos and react to his recent appearance on Piers Morgan, where the formerly anti-immigration pundit complains about the cruelty of American immigration enforcement. Also, the violence in the West Bank has escalated dramatically, with UN data showing settler attacks have doubled compared to 2025. Now, a stunning New York Times report reveals that retired Israeli military giants including Maj. Gen. Eyal Ben-Reuven and Brig. Gen. Ephraim Sneh are openly labeling these actions as "ethnic cleansing" and a greater threat to Israel than Iran, Gaza, or Lebanon. Why is the government ignoring this?

  20. Ep.15 - How the CIA Ruined the 9/11 Confession

    Show notes

    We dive into the wild deportation of right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, who was just arrested by ICE in New Orleans. But the real bombshell? We deliver the breaking news exposing how Milo was secretly pulling massive paychecks from Kanye West’s presidential campaign. This explosive look at campaign cash could skate right into serious felony territory.

    Also, a military judge just threw out the FBI confessions of alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. We explain how years of CIA torture and critical protocol failures completely contaminated the evidence, ultimately costing the government its strongest case ahead of the 2028 trial.
