The Tara Palmeri Show

SHOCKWAVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST: Trump’s Bombs Hit Iran, But Is the World Safer? Missiles flew, a ceasefire crumbled, and tensions skyrocketed—dive into this gripping episode of State of the World to uncover the truth behind Trump’s high-stakes gamble and its fallout across the globe State of the World Hosts Sally Lockwood, reporting from Dubai where airspace shut down amid fears of Iranian retaliation, and Tara Palmeri in New York, unpack the dramatic US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, which a leaked report claims only delayed Iran’s program by months. Joined by former US diplomat Brett Bruen, fresh from the NATO summit in The Hague, they dissect Iran’s choreographed missile attack on Qatar’s Al Udeid airbase, the fragile ceasefire marred by Trump’s profane outburst, and the panic in safe havens like Doha and Dubai. From NATO’s unease over Trump’s unilateral moves to Europe’s flattery-laden diplomacy and fears of a “post-American era,” this episode explores the political, economic, and human stakes— including families hiding in Qatar and declining European tourism to the US.

Is Zohran Mamdani’s Victory a Progressive Coup to Oust the Democratic Establishment? Mamdani’s landslide victory over the establishment-backed Cuomo signals a potential rebellion within the Democratic Party. From his bold policies—like city-run grocery stores and free buses—to his controversial past, including Palestinian activism and defund-the-police tweets, Mamdani is polarizing. Is this a progressive insurgency akin to the MAGA takeover of the GOP? The hosts explore why Cuomo’s scandals and “Rose Garden” campaign failed, how Republicans are weaponizing Mamdani as a “communist lunatic” foil, and whether Democratic leaders like Schumer dropped the ball. With comparisons to Obama’s 2008 rise and fears from NYC’s Jewish community, this episode dives deep into what Mamdani’s win means for the party’s future and the 2026 midterms. Mosheh Oinounou joins the Tara Palmeri Show to discuss. How will Mamdani’s victory reshape American politics? Will it empower progressives or hand Republicans a weapon?
