    He Fought in Lebanon. Here's Why He's Worried About Iran.
    Jun 23 2026
    Heidi Harris interviews entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and Lebanese civil war veteran Guy Nohra about President Trump's proposed ceasefire agreement ("MOU") with Iran and its implications for Israel, Lebanon, and the broader Middle East.Key Themes1. Wait and SeeNohra argues that ceasefires in the Middle East are often temporary pauses rather than permanent solutions. Drawing from his experience during the Lebanese Civil War, he cautions against assuming any agreement will hold until its details and results become clear.2. Different Views of VictoryA major point of discussion is that Western leaders often measure success by military losses and gains, while groups such as Hezbollah may view mere survival as victory. Nohra explains that even after suffering significant damage, Hezbollah historically claimed success because it remained standing.3. Hezbollah and LebanonNohra provides background on Lebanon's religious and political factions and explains how Hezbollah became Iran's proxy force in the country. He argues that Hezbollah functions as both a political and military organization and remains the most powerful armed group inside Lebanon.4. Concerns About the CeasefireBoth Heidi and Nohra question whether the proposed agreement adequately addresses Iran's nuclear ambitions, Hezbollah's military power, and long-term regional stability. They express concern that Iran may gain time to regroup while retaining key capabilities.5. The Concept of "Hudna"Nohra discusses the Islamic concept of a hudna (truce), describing it as a temporary pause in conflict that may be used until conditions become more favorable. He suggests that historical examples make him skeptical of long-term peace agreements with Iranian-backed groups.6. Syria and Regional PoliticsThe conversation explores Syria's role, Hezbollah's involvement in the Syrian civil war, and concerns about relying on former Islamist factions to help stabilize the region. Nohra argues that many Americans underestimate the complexities of Middle Eastern alliances and rivalries.7. Domestic Politics and Trump's StrategyNohra speculates that political considerations, including upcoming U.S. elections and Trump's promise to avoid prolonged wars, may influence the administration's approach. He suggests the ceasefire could be an opportunity for Iran to demonstrate whether it intends to change course or continue confrontation.Bottom LineThe conversation centers on skepticism about whether the ceasefire will produce lasting peace. While both speakers hope for a positive outcome, they question whether Iran and its proxies share the same goals and definitions of success as Western leaders. Nohra repeatedly emphasizes that the real test will be what happens after the agreement is signed, not the signing itself.Guy Paul Nohra is a co-founder of Alta Partners, a leading life sciences venture capital firm that has funded more than 150 healthcare companies since 1996 through eight venture funds, representing over $2 billion in investments. Named to the Forbes Midas List in 2007, he has contributed to therapies addressing cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, orthopedics, and cancer.In Layman’s Terms with Guy Nohra podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-laymans-terms-with-guy-nohra/id1806772757Guy’s column on the issue: https://www.realclearworld.com/articles/2026/05/01/the_strange_case_of_lebanons_ceasefire_1180185.html Guy’s book: “Not on our Watch”. https://www.amazon.com/Not-Our-Watch-Soldiers-Warning/dp/B0H514BZ4Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=1NY84D5BPTHEA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.YI_RL3HtQQzk9cbaZVZb5Gv_PdBnQgMguDHlVCjEviM.aMG4WLu3Fne-bSx_mZkaaSEJ1CX8bTXp2ZDz4INsvAw&dib_tag=se&keywords=guy+paul+nohra+not+on+my+watch&qid=1781548424&sprefix=guy+paul+nohra+not+on+my+watch,aps,227&sr=8-1Robert Spencer from Jihad Watch interview: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/f8ebc694-3f4b-40ca-883b-1b6544b5831c/Check out my Vegas Crime Files podcast wherever you get podcasts.

  • Trump doesn't understand Islam! Guest: Robert Spencer

    Trump doesn't understand Islam! Guest: Robert Spencer
    Jun 9 2026

    More than 100 days into the war with Iran, why does it still feel like nobody is telling the whole truth? In this episode, Heidi Harris talks with author and jihad expert Robert Spencer of JihadWatch.org about Donald Trump, Iran, Netanyahu, Islam, and the growing divide inside the MAGA movement over foreign policy.

    Spencer argues that the West fundamentally misunderstands Islam — and that misunderstanding is shaping dangerous decisions in the Middle East. The conversation covers regime change in Iran, whether Trump believes he can “make a deal” with radical Islamic leaders, the future of Israel’s relationship with the United States, and why many ordinary Iranians remain trapped under a brutal regime they desperately want removed.

    This is a candid, unfiltered discussion about war, ideology, geopolitics, and the long game being played in the Middle East.

  • Tilman Fertitta’s Vegas Power Play - Good for Vegas?

    Tilman Fertitta’s Vegas Power Play - Good for Vegas?
    Jun 4 2026

    Las Vegas may be headed for its biggest casino ownership shakeup in years. Heidi Harris sits down with Review-Journal gaming reporter Rick Velotta to break down the growing buzz around billionaire Tilman Fertitta’s reported move toward Caesars Entertainment, what it could mean for Caesars Palace, and whether the Strip is about to become even more competitive.

    They discuss:

    1. Why Fertitta has other casino operators nervous
    2. Whether Caesars could sell off some of its smaller properties
    3. The rise of Hard Rock and how it could pressure competitors with lower prices and perks like free parking
    4. Barry Diller’s interest in MGM Resorts
    5. The corporatization of the Strip and whether Vegas has lost some of its old-school charm
    6. Resort fees, expensive parking, overpriced drinks, and whether Vegas is still considered a “value destination”
    7. How social media now shapes Las Vegas’ reputation more than the LVCVA ever could

    Plus, Heidi and Rick share personal memories of classic Vegas, from Caesars fountains to the changing visitor experience on the modern Strip.

    If you love Vegas history, casino business drama, and honest talk about where the city is headed next, this episode is for you.
