Iran’s ‘Hard Revenge’ Against Israel & Maduro Clings to Power

In this episode of The PDB Situation Report:

• We kick off with a look at events in the Middle East, most notably the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed by a hidden explosive device in Tehran while attending the swearing-in of Iran's new president, Masoud Pezeshkian. We'll be joined by Senior Fellow Behnam Ben Taleblu from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies to discuss the fallout.

• Later in the show, Venezuela's government is cracking down on any resistance to President Nicolás Maduro, announcing hundreds of arrests following this week's election... okay, it wasn't really an election... but, whatever you want to call the bogus process, evidence suggests Maduro lost decisively. WSJ South America Bureau Chief Juan Forero will bring us the latest on that.

When I was a kid my dad watched the world news after the local news. Today me and my kids listen to Mike Bakers P.D.B.

This is my place to go for real news on current events.

[stacyscott]

Your ability to call upon such a network of expertise is priceless. As far as Venezuela is concerned I have two words, Victoria Nuland.

[MarkPillow]

Your guests were great, with native level understanding, and reporting like the DMN used to provide. GOOD SHOW.

[yehebgo]

+Good report Mike. You are my go to guy for succinct no fluff stuff. Carry on.

Iran killed him not Israel.
Haneya's nephews & some of his sons serve in the Israeli army, his wife lives in Ashkelon.
He wanted to release the hostages.
I don't see any reason for Israel to kill him

Excellent show as always! Question: what happens to Iran's domestic situation if they start a head on war? The Iranian people aren't exactly thrilled with the regime, could they take advantage of the distraction and overthrow leadership?

If I ever need a guy in the CIA, for reasons unknown, can I name drop you as a phone a friend?! I know an agent never retires!

Finally made it to a Saturday morning live 💪🏻 Love from Minnesota Mr Baker!

Is Kimberly Cheatle moonlighting for the IRGC? Asking for a friend.

[SethWestmore]

So the President of Iran was totally another target in the helicopter crash, it wasn't mechanical error?

[JimmyandTeresa]

Mike - big fan - enjoy the content - have watched you on many podcasts and programs … but why are you so stiff doing your own show … relax keep it light - don’t act like a broadcaster, don’t act at all … stay you - we all listen to you for you and your style and insight - don’t be another news channel please - have some fun - not slighting the channel, I enjoy it but I notice the change in presentation from everything else

The bike maker! Love this daily content🙏

[timmccaul]

Where is Chesa Boudin, AOC, Corrie Bush? All spent time with and learned from Maduro

[tscotw]

Ironic how the US democrats are taking plays from Venezuela!
It’s almost like they are trading plays….

[thomaswilson]

Fantastic show. On Wednesday you pronounced “heir” incorrectly. Don’t need to pronounce the “h”

[tombergins]

His funeral reminded me of another funeral from WW2 Rommel's
As we know it was Hitler that killed him & not the allies.

[georgeshotrodbarn]

They will never put boots on the ground they are not fighters.
