Chris Hedges Report: Is Hezbollah Beating Israel In Lebanon?

April 19, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , ,
On April 16, the Trump administration forced the Israeli military to cease its attacks on Lebanon as part of an agreement with Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz. This marked another victory for the Axis of Resistance and the Lebanese people. However, Israel has a long history of violating its ceasefire agreements, and it is unlikely to give up on its fundamental goal of occupying Lebanon by attempting to foment a civil war between Hezbollah and the Lebanese military. In this episode, Chris Hedges speaks with Free Palestine TV journalist, Laith Marouf, who is reporting from southern Lebanon.

The Trump Administration’s War On Cuba

April 15, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , ,
Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of the antiwar organization CODEPINK, speaks with Chris Hedges about her recent visit to Cuba as part of one of the many humanitarian delegations that have visited the island in response to the severe economic blockade imposed by the Trump administration. Benjamin describes the current situation as “dire”, the worst she has experienced in her 50 years of solidarity work with Cuba, referring to the escalation of the blockade as a “medieval siege.” The fuel shortages have had deadly impacts, imposing nationwide power outages. Sanctions and the blockade have created shortages of food, medicine and other necessities.

The Chris Hedges Report: America’s Suez Crisis

April 12, 2026 Chris Hedges, The Chris Hedges Report. , , , , , ,
The whole world is watching as negotiations begin today in Islamabad, Pakistan between Iran and the United States following an agreement to cease military action for two weeks. The negotiations are based on a ten-point plan outlined by Iran and approved by the United States as a basis for the talks. Israel has not been invited to the negotiations, which are being conducted indirectly and with a great deal of skepticism by the Iranian team. The outcome of these talks will impact the entire global economy and the fate of millions of people in West Asia, six million of whom have already been forcibly displaced by US and Israeli aggression in recent years.

Chris Hedges Report: Is The War In Iran About To Become Apocalyptic?

April 7, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , , ,
Recently, United States President Donald Trump has been issuing a series of soft deadlines to pressure Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz. On Easter Sunday, in what would be a serious escalation of the conflict, President Trump threatened to target “bridges and power plants” and to “bomb Iran back to the Stone Age” beginning on Tuesday if Iran refuses his demands. To better understand what the ramifications would be if President Trump follows through on his threats, Chris Hedges sits down with Trita Parsi, an expert on US-Iranian relations and the geopolitics of the Middle East.

Chris Hedges Report: War With Iran Will Trigger A Global Financial Crisis

March 17, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
Alongside the death and destruction occurring all throughout the Middle East as the war in Iran rages on, the rest of the world is experiencing the economic blowback of the conflict. Oil and natural gas prices are skyrocketing in the West as well as the Global South following the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. Yanis Varoufakis, economist and former Greek finance minister, joins The Chris Hedges Report to explain how the war will continue to mangle the global economy and what countries can expect in the coming months. “The vast majority of the very people, the blue collar workers that voted Trump in, are suffering exorbitant increases in their transport costs.

Chris Hedges Report: Can Israel And The US Sustain Iran’s Military Power?

March 8, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
While the official White House X account posts video montages featuring video games and Hollywood movies spliced with real footage of their attacks on Iran, the situation on the ground could not be more different than an American propaganda blockbuster. To pierce the fog of war and offer a concrete analysis of what is taking place across the Middle East, author and former British diplomat Alastair Crooke of the Substack Conflicts Forum joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report.

The Chris Hedges Report: The Media’s Capitulation to Power

March 6, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , ,
In a special episode of The Chris Hedges Report live from Rome, Italy, Palestinian Emmy-nominated journalist, producer, and actor Ahmed Eldin joins host Chris Hedges following their involvement in the dockworkers strike and large demonstrations to halt arms shipments to Israel. Eldin, who has worked in journalism for almost 20 years, explains how crucial storytelling is in a time where Palestinian voices are being killed off in Gaza and silenced elsewhere. “It’s a betrayal of our profession. It’s a betrayal of our human values,” Eldin says of the methods in which mainstream outlets attempt to obscure the realities on the ground of Palestine now and throughout history.

Resistance101: Forging A New Movement For Palestine In Italy

February 22, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
With little sign that the genocide in Gaza is abating, dockworkers in Italy’s major port cities have taken matters into their own hands. Organizing strikes and mass demonstrations, they are moving to block the shipment of arms to Israel — a direct rebuke to the paralysis and complicity of governments and international institutions that have failed to confront the slaughter. While the devastation continues, these workers are offering something rare: material resistance. By leveraging their strategic position in the global supply chain, they are demonstrating how labor power can be wielded against war and occupation.

Chris Hedges Report: What Will The Future Look Like In The ‘New World Order?’

February 5, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
Karl Marx, in his essay “The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte,” said that history repeats itself, “the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.” Donald Trump’s actions in the first year of his second term have spelled out to many that tragedies of history are beginning to repeat themselves, this time certainly as farces. John Mearsheimer, the renowned scholar, author and R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to contextualize what Trump’s political missions mean through the lens of history.

The Chris Hedges Report: Is The ‘New World Order’ Really New?

January 29, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
As U.S. hegemony continues to dwindle, Donald Trump and his international allies are making preparations to maintain some grip on world power. One of these methods includes the “Board of Peace,” which was ostensibly created to reconstruct Gaza, but has demonstrated yet another attempt by Trump to undermine international law. Yanis Varoufakis, the Secretary-General of the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25), the former Finance Minister of Greece and author of Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism joins host Chris Hedges to discuss what the Board of Peace really means and how it relates to Trump’s larger geopolitical goals, including one seeking to curb China’s rising influence on the world stage.

The Chris Hedges Report: Decolonizing The World

January 22, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Palestinian professor and activist Amin Husain knows what Western settler colonialism looks, sounds and feels like. Growing up in Palestine, Husain experienced the iron grip of Israeli force and came to understand how important it was to struggle against such a powerful imperial entity, even in the face of defeat. In the United States, Husain applied his learned experience to organize and educate about how colonialism and imperialism not only exists in the modern world, but is intertwined in the economy and culture of the global capitalist world order.

The Flotillas To Gaza Are The World’s Conscience

January 16, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
Rome, Italy — There will be a new flotilla in April 2026 that will attempt to break the 18-year-old Israeli blockade of Gaza. The mission is expected to be the largest maritime action for Palestine to date, involving more than 3,000 activists from 100 countries on 100 boats, including a medical fleet of 1,000 health care workers to deliver 500 tons of life-saving aid, equipment and medical supplies that Israel has blocked from entering Gaza. Once again, activists from all over the world will sail toward Gaza in an attempt to end one of the worst humanitarian crises on the planet.

Chris Hedges: The Machinery Of Terror

January 12, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
I have seen the masked goons who terrorize our streets before. I saw them during the “Dirty War” in Argentina, where 30,000 men, women and children were “disappeared” by the military junta. Victims were held in secret prisons, savagely tortured and murdered. To this day, many families do not know the fate of their loved ones. I saw them in El Salvador, when death squads were killing 800 people a month. I saw them in Guatemala under the dictatorship of José Efraín Ríos Montt. I saw them in Augusto Pinochet’s Chile and in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. I saw them in Iran under the rule of the ayatollahs where I was arrested and jailed twice and once deported in handcuffs.

America The Rogue State

January 6, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
The ruling class of the United States, severed from a fact-based universe and blinded by idiocy, greed and hubris, has immolated the internal mechanisms that prevent dictatorship, and the external mechanisms designed to protect against a lawless world of colonialism and gunboat diplomacy. Our democratic institutions are moribund. They are unable or unwilling to restrain our ruling gangster class. The lobby-infested Congress is a useless appendage. It surrendered its Constitutional authority, including the right to declare war and pass legislation, long ago.

Chris Hedges Report: How The ‘Epstein Class’ Fails To The Top

December 26, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
Noam Chomsky once said “The more privilege you have, the more opportunity you have. The more opportunity you have, the more responsibility you have.” Today, this profound quote from an important figure is ensconced in irony, not only in light of Chomsky’s close ties with Jeffrey Epstein, but also regarding the entire ruling class structure’s facilitation of the pedophile’s rise to the top. Anand Giridharadas, in his book Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World, talks about this privilege and the elite delusions that capitalism and capitalists can save the planet from the very problems that they create.
