In the final episode of our series, the ancient walls of Constantinople crumble—and with them, the last heartbeat of the Roman Empire. Sultan Mehmet II launches his all-or-nothing assault: cannon fire splits the dawn, smoke cloaks the ramparts, and waves of Ottoman soldiers pour through the shattered defenses. Amid the chaos, Emperor Constantine XI refuses to flee. Across Europe, the fall sends shockwaves—stirring panic, calls for crusade, and a growing awareness that the Eastern Roman Empire, after more than a thousand years, had finally drawn its last breath. The epic conclusion to our three-part series on the greatest siege in history. ⁠Help support the show on Patreon!⁠ ⁠Sources and Attributions on our website. ‘Heroic Opportunities' audiofile has been purchased under the Online License from SoundCritters Learn more about your ad choices.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008Friday nights are—after Thursdays—my favorite day of the week. I always let out a big sigh of relief when Friday rolls around, especially after an uneventful week.After five days of school runs, endless soccer practices, and a tightly packed schedule of pickups and drop-offs, I relish the freedom of the weekend. On Saturdays and Sundays, it doesn't matter if lunch is at noon or 1:30—what a luxury.Friday evenings feel like the perfect moment to celebrate making it through another week. I love to gather a few friends for a cozy dinner at home. If I had my way, I'd have a standing reservation—right at my own table.Across Europe, there's a revival of old-fashioned, comforting recipes. In Spain, they call it la cocina pobre—"cuisine of the poor." But don't be misled by the name—these dishes are soul-warming, full of flavor, and would be just as fitting served on silver platters and linen-covered tables. I love blending high and low: simple ingredients, easy techniques, and elegant presentation. It's my favorite style of cooking.Here's my go-to Friday night supper: comforting, unfussy, and easy to prep the day before. I used to avoid marinating overnight—always preferring spur-of-the-moment meals—but life has taught me to embrace a little planning. Prepping while I'm already in the kitchen saves time and adds so much flavor. The payoff is real.The star of this meal is chicken marinated in beer, then cooked in a rich beer and tomato sauce. Don't worry—the alcohol cooks off, so it's kid-friendly and perfect for a weeknight meal, too.I pair it with “Poor Man's Potatoes,” a Spanish-style hash that soaks up all the juices. Add a simple green salad and a steamed veggie, and dinner is done.For dessert, I serve a classic Lemon Sponge Cake with a sweet wine sauce. Pedro Ximénez, made from a luscious grape of the same name, is transformed into a rich syrup when heated with sugar and water. The cake works in any pan—round, loaf, or square. It's delightfully forgiving.To serve, I use rustic brown cazuelas and wooden spoons to keep the feel cozy and casual. The visual continuity makes the whole spread feel cohesive and warm.On Thursday afternoon, I prep the chicken and marinade, pop it in the fridge, and bake the sponge cake—tucking it away in a high cupboard to keep it safe from sneaky snackers.Come Friday, all that's left is to bake the chicken (hands-off in the oven), cook the potatoes (about 45 minutes), and warm the dessert sauce. Easy.For casual dinners, I skip the first-course salad and serve greens with the main. One generous plate keeps the conversation going—no interruptions. One type of wine is all I need: a light red Côtes du Rhône that pairs beautifully with the hearty chicken.This week, I've set the table in the library using my favorite country-inspired colors. brown and white—a timeless combo that complements any setting.

Spanish activist Isabel Peralta sentenced for speaking out. Germany's AFD surges despite total censorship. Across Europe, native voices are being silenced as mass migration policies clash with free speech — and the EU takes a turn toward totalitarian control. From Spain to Scotland, and now to Germany, ordinary citizens are being punished for political dissent. Is this the new Iron Curtain? And what does NATO's role look like when the threat to freedom comes from within? This episode breaks down the latest censorship crackdowns, the AFD's unlikely rise, and the globalist agenda driving it all — with a glimmer of hope on the horizon.

Across Europe, the walls are closing in. In Spain, activist Isabel Peralta is sentenced for speaking the truth about migrant violence. In Germany, the surging AFD is punished for rising in the polls. In Norway, peaceful protesters are investigated like criminals. From the UK's online speech police to Scotland's snitch kiosks, this is not the Europe you knew — it's the EU-SSR. NATO was built to fight the old USSR, but now Brussels is pushing censorship, silencing dissent, and criminalizing patriotism. And the worst part? American elites want to import the same model. This is the battle for the future of the West — and it's only just beginning.

Last week, French opposition leader in the national parliament, Marine le Pen, was found guilty of helping to embezzle €4m of EU funds for use by her party. Alongside a four year sentence, le pen was also barred from running from public office with immediate effect. Over the weekend, le Pen called the ruling political and not judicial. So what effect will the sentence have on the far right in France and across Europe? Political Analyst and Associate Research Fellow at IRIS, The French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs Jean-Yves Camus joins us to discuss.

Henry VIII is infamous for his obsessive quest for a male heir—but he was far from the only Renaissance monarch haunted by fertility struggles. Across Europe, kings faced intense pressure to produce sons, especially in France, where Salic law strictly required male succession. From Louis XII's desperate annulment and Anne of Brittany's heartbreaking losses, to Catherine de' Medici's decade-long battle with infertility, this episode explores how fertility issues shaped royal marriages, alliances, and even wars. Discover how these intimate struggles in royal bedchambers changed the political landscape of Europe forever.https://www.englandcast.com/springbreak2025 for information on the Spring Break adventure.

Fast fashion is responsible for 8-10% of global carbon emissions, more than aviation and shipping combined, and its environmental toll continues to rise. The industry thrives on overproduction and overconsumption, flooding the market with cheap, disposable clothing that drives a growing textile waste crisis. Across Europe, millions of tonnes of textiles are incinerated, dumped in landfills, or exported to countries where waste management systems are overstretched, causing severe environmental and social repercussions.This episode explores the hidden costs of fast fashion and Europe's response to this crisis with EU-wide regulations aimed at promoting circularity, reducing waste, and addressing microplastics.Experts Theresa Mörsen from Zero Waste Europe, and Lars Fogh Mortensen from the European Environment Agency provide insights into the systemic changes needed to tackle the impact of fast fashion, along with the role of governments, businesses, and consumers in creating a more sustainable future. Can Europe's ambitious strategies reverse the tide of fast fashion and pave the way towards a circular textile economy?Join Evi Kiorri every last Wed of the month to dissect these and other themes at the heart of European debates.

Edition No82 | 17-01-2025 - Russia is a terrorist state. We've been saying this for three years on the channel. But Russia constantly reminds of this fact. The latest is an allegation that Russia plotted terror attacks on airlines around the world. According to Polish PM, Donald Tusk this bombshell news has come from US intelligence sources. "I can only confirm that Russia planned acts of air terror, not just against Poland but against airlines across the globe," said Tusk during a meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. ---------- At relatively short notice, we're organising two events in Ukraine in the last week of January. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv, and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will have an impact, so please help if you can. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- U.S. intelligence warned the White House that Russia was planning to smuggle incendiary devices onto cargo planes heading to the US. This sounds very similar to the devices apparently planted on DHL delivery places, that are alleged to have caused two warehouse fires. According to The New York Times report The White House, warned the Kremlin to stop the operation. Tusk did not provide details to underpin the allegation, but it was felt serious enough to put his reputation on the line by stating it emphatically, in public, and in the full glare of the world's press, given that he was with Zelenskyy at the time. "All I can say, and I will not go into details, but I can confirm the validity of these fears," said Tusk. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- NEWS SOURCES: https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-planned-terror-attacks-airlines-around-world-donald-tusk-says/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/russia-planned-acts-of-terror-in-the-air-polands-tusk-says/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4717j21kko https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/azerbaijan-airlines-flight-was-downed-by-russian-air-defence-system-four-sources-2024-12-26/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/paris-olympics-train-vandalism-cause-b2586422.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13675809/French-train-arson-Putins-new-terror-tactic.html ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Dennis Prager Talks to Author of The New Concise History of the Crusades, Professor Thomas F. Madden The New Concise History of the Crusades (Critical Issues in World and International History) Paperback – Student Edition, November 10, 2005 by Thomas F. Madden (Author) See all formats and editions How have the crusades contributed to Islamist rage and terrorism today? Were the crusades the Christian equivalent of modern jihad? In this sweeping yet crisp history, Thomas F. Madden offers a brilliant and compelling narrative of the crusades and their contemporary relevance. With a cry of "God wills it!" medieval knights ushered in a new era in European history. Across Europe a wave of pious enthusiasm led many thousands to leave their homes, family, and friends to march to distant lands in a great struggle for Christ. Yet the crusades were more than simply a holy war. They represent a synthesis of attitudes and values that were uniquely medieval--so medieval, in fact, that the crusading movement is rarely understood today. Placing all the major crusades within the medieval social, economic, religious, and intellectual environments that gave birth to the movement and nurtured it for centuries, Madden brings the distant medieval world vividly to life. From Palestine and Europe's farthest reaches, each crusade is recounted in a clear, concise narrative. The author gives special attention as well to the crusades' effects on the Islamic world and the Christian Byzantine East. More information is available on the author's website.

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) has successfully launched 16 innovation hubs across Central, Eastern and Southern Europe dedicated to tackling Europe's regional innovation divide. The new hubs, known as EIT Community Hubs are an integral part of the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme and have been launched in the following countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Slovenia, Türkiye, Ukraine, and Spain and Portugal covering their respective EU's Outermost Regions. The new EIT Community Hubs will serve as a central gateway to Europe's largest innovation ecosystem, supporting local innovators and entrepreneurs to scale their innovations and launch new products to the market. EIT Community Hubs represent all EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) under one roof, boosting cooperation among local businesses, education authorities, and research organisations, enhancing the region's competitiveness and contributing to Europe's economic growth and competitiveness. Stefan Dobrev, Chairman of the EIT Governing Board, said, 'The EIT Regional Innovation Scheme has grown in the past ten years to be one of the most successful innovation instruments connecting and collaborating, between researchers, entrepreneurs and companies in the widening countries." "RIS-eligible countries currently account for 60% of the EIT's total participation, well above the Horizon Europe average of 40% - and many RIS-supported ventures have realised their potential and found breakthrough commercial success. This year we celebrate ten years of impact, ten years of helping grow companies and launching innovations to the market," said Dobrev. By connecting regional actors, innovators, and partners to Europe's largest innovation ecosystem, the EIT RIS enhances innovation capacity in low-performing regions and fosters synergies between new networks and local or regional smart specialisation strategies. A Decade of Impact 2024 marks ten years of impact for the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme - a dedicated programme offering tailor-made support and widened regional outreach to 'moderate' and 'emerging' innovator countries as designated by the European Innovation Scoreboard. Today, the EIT, under Horizon Europe is strongly addressing Europe's innovation divide, having invested over a billion euros into building innovation ecosystems across Europe. Over 700 innovation projects have been supported by the EIT Reginal Innovation Scheme, helping to launch over 500 products and services to the market, and supporting over 3,360 start-ups and scale-up including creating over 250 new start-ups. The EIT Regional Innovation Scheme's mid-term evaluation results were recently published, documenting the programme's effectiveness in strengthening the capacity of innovation enablers and actors, such as business accelerators, incubators, start-ups, scale-ups, SMEs, and educational and research institutions. The study also notes that results achieved by the EIT RIS often exceed expectations and highlight the interconnected approach of the EIT Model and the EIT's local presence as critical to its effectiveness. critical to its effectiveness. In addition to the sixteen established EIT Community Hubs, further innovation hubs will be launched in the following countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, and France, representing the EU's Outermost Regions by the end of 2025. What is the European Institute of Innovation and Technology? The EIT strengthens Europe's ability to innovate by powering solutions to pressing global challenges and by nurturing entrepreneurial talent to create sustainable growth and skilled jobs in Europe. The EIT is an EU body and an integral part of Horizon Europe, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. The Institute supports dynamic pan-European partnerships, EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities, among leading...

Sexuality education can play a central role in equipping young people with the necessary tools to further enjoy their sexuality and ultimately their human rights. Education about sexual and reproductive health and rights, more commonly shortened to sex-ed, should also help young people to navigate their development, feelings and relationships. In Europe, sex ed is mandatory in nearly every country, but in others - like Italy - it is still left out of school programmes. Even when included, sex ed can differ significantly in terms of the content and at what age it is provided, which leaves many young people without the necessary information and skills. In addition, we have recently witnessed a rise of opposition against sex ed in Europe, led by far-right movements and anti-gender groups. So what is the current status of sexual education in schools in Europe? Are there other ways to learn about sexuality? And how can we deal with this backlash?In this last episode of the third season of Europe Talks Back, host Gail Rego, Florina-Marieta Neagu, an expert on European youth activism, who works at AEGEE / European Students'​ Forum and Isabella Borelli, an Italian transfeminist activist promoting the introduction of sexuality- and emotional- education in Italian schools.Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: EuropodFollow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

New research unveiled by Wise, the international money app, shows a growing frustration among Irish people with high costs for basic banking services and hidden fees for international transactions. As a result, more people are taking a hybrid banking approach or using digital only alternatives. Results from the second annual 'State of Irish Banking Report' reveal that three quarters (73%) of consumers believe that fees charged by traditional Irish banks for basic services such as account maintenance and ATM withdrawals are excessive. The 2024 report, conducted with Censuswide reveals a shift away from standalone traditional banking services. Just one in five (20%) now use traditional banking services alone, a 6% decrease on last year. In contrast, 36% now prefer using only app-based financial services - suggesting Irish banking customers have reached a tipping point in their adoption of fintech. The remaining 49% are hybrid customers, using both traditional and app-based financial services providers. Other traditional banking frustrations identified by Irish consumers include: A lack of competitive interest rates (37%) Poor customer service and lack of responsiveness (29%) Costly and slow international transactions (27%) A lack of transparency on fees (25%) "We are witnessing a tipping point for banking and fintech in Ireland," said Harsh Sinha, Chief Technology Officer at Wise. "The 2024 State of Irish Banking Report highlights how high fees and outdated processes are driving momentum for faster, more competitive, transparent, and consumer-friendly financial providers in the market." Irish consumers feel ripped off for spending abroad Managing finances abroad is a worry for Irish consumers: Those surveyed transferred up to €75,000 into other currencies last year, with the average respondent sending €661, yet the majority (73%) say they don't understand overseas transaction fees or believe that their bank should make these clearer. Adding to the sense of frustration over this lack of transparency, 43% think their bank overcharged them on hidden exchange rate fees last year. Irish consumers are also growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of convenient banking options when spending money abroad. Nearly four out of five (79%) are now demanding banks offer simple solutions to transfer and spend money abroad. This desire for transparency is underscored by a 12% year-on-year rise in the number of people now using digital payment apps when travelling. Competition and innovation a concern for customers A lack of competition in the banking sector has been blamed for high costs and stifled innovation by Irish consumers, following high-profile exits from the market from players such as KBC and Ulster Bank. As a result, two thirds (66%) of Irish consumers want to see better integration and collaboration with fintechs to enhance traditional banking services. When considering switching to digital providers: 6 in 10 (61%) cite faster transactions as their favourite thing about digital payment apps, while 41% appreciate the ease with which they can use apps to manage and budget when travelling, and 39% enjoy lower payment fees. More than half (56%) of Irish consumers using app-based providers rely on them for everyday spending, while 60% opt for app-based financial services when online shopping. Over half (54%) say they would switch to an app-based provider if their traditional bank closed tomorrow, citing faster transactions and lower fees as advantages of app-based providers. A majority (54%) have considered switching service providers this year. Among those who haven't considered switching, three quarters have stuck with their traditional bank because they think it's too much hassle to move. Speaking on the launch of the report Roisin Levine, Head of UK & Europe Partnerships at Wise Platform said: "Across Europe, we're seeing a clear mandate for change in financial services. Irish consumers, like their European counterparts, are ...

This is a conversation with the three esteemed authors of a paper entitled “Russian Sabotage in the Gig-Economy Era”, written by Daniela Richterova, Elena Grossfeld, Magda Long and Patrick Bury. I'm delighted to be joined by three of them today. ---------- We are experiencing the most intense era of sabotage since the Second World War in Western countries. Russian operations have now reached unprecedented levels. It seems the main aim is to increase the costs of supporting Ukraine, while at the same time slowing the delivery of military supplies. Russian operations are increasingly organised around ‘gig-economy' principles. The dangers are mounting from operations that have an element of plausible deniability, that can scale, while causing significant damage and sowing terror. ---------- LINKS: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03071847.2024.2401232 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.1080/03071847.2024.2401232?needAccess=true https://news.sky.com/story/mi6-and-cia-warn-of-reckless-campaign-of-sabotage-across-europe-being-waged-by-russia-13210838 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp8e15yr1gwo ---------- BIOGRAPHIES: Daniela Richterova is Associate Professor in Intelligence Studies at the Department of War Studies, King's College London.

Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from tech's most innovative B2B founders. In today's episode, we're speaking with Geert Van Kerckhoven, CEO & Co-Founder of Oper, a mortgage tech platform that's raised over $15 Million in funding. Here are the most interesting points from our conversation: Oper's Mission: Oper is revolutionizing the European mortgage process by digitizing the journey for both borrowers and lenders. The platform aims to improve the experience from initial contact to final contract, reducing paper-based processes and streamlining mortgage underwriting. Founding Story: Geert's 20 years of experience in fintech and banking, combined with frustration from a personal mortgage process, inspired the creation of Oper. He saw a clear gap in the market for a modern, scalable solution for mortgage lenders across Europe. First Customer Acquisition: Within three months of starting, Oper landed its first client who acted as a design partner, enabling the company to generate revenue from day one. Early Challenges: While securing a first client quickly, the challenge was to avoid building a proprietary solution for just one partner. The focus shifted to scaling the product and acquiring more clients to broaden its market presence. Go-to-Market Strategy: Oper focuses on enterprise sales with a team of experienced account executives managing relationships with banks. Additionally, they leverage partnerships with system integrators for larger, complex implementations, a key element of their growth strategy. Marketing Strategy: Geert emphasizes the importance of content marketing. Oper creates in-depth reports and thought leadership pieces that educate the market, helping them scale their knowledge beyond face-to-face meetings.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co    

Last week, we published an exclusive article on the European Union's plan to cut its development spending by €2 billion (around $2.2 billion) over the next three years. This will account for a 35% reduction in the amount of money it gives to the world's lowest-income countries as the bloc aims to focus on other priorities, including supporting Ukraine and stopping migration to Europe. The European Union is not the only entity in Europe reducing its aid budget. The French government also announced a €1 billion reduction in foreign aid — the third cut in the last two years — while the new U.K. development minister Anneliese Dodds suggested that the government will continue to direct the country's aid spending on hosting refugees. Why are European countries slashing their aid budgets? What are the implications of these cuts? To answer these questions and dig into the issue, Devex Business Editor David Ainsworth sits down with Deputy Managing Editor Fiona Zublin and Senior Reporter Vince Chadwick for the latest episode of our podcast series.

After severe cuts to its 2024 budgets for development and humanitarian aid, we found that the German government is planning to slash funds again in 2025. A recently released draft budget spells out nearly €1 billion in cuts to the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, or BMZ, from €11.22 billion ($12.36 billion) this year to €10.28 billion in 2025. Germany is not the only European country planning to reduce its aid budget. In the United Kingdom, the aid budget in 2024 is forecast to be only 0.36% of gross national income — once sums diverted to hosting asylum-seekers are removed — piling pressure on the new Labour government to rethink its plans. The fresh spending squeeze comes despite the new Labour government promising a “reset” of development policy it condemned as “degraded” under the Conservatives. We also discuss the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation that took place in Beijing. It was attended by 50 African heads of state and China pledged to invest nearly $51 billion in the continent on more favorable terms than Western countries.

Do NOT fear the riots - fear the government RESPONSE to the riots.Brace for impact because what we have seen emerge from the rioting, protests and counter protests in the United Kingdom IS COMING to America - we need to organize & prepare for a full scale assault on our our 1st Amendment rights including speech and assembly. Today we feature very important pieces by Jeffrey Tucker, Jessica Rose and Matt Goodwin.‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.' ~ Constitution of The United StatesThe Constitution is pretty clear on the right of the people to express FREE speech with no limitations. However, we have seen these rights eroded over time and utterly obliterated under the fascist Lockdowns of 2020 with the expanded use of presidential & gubernatorial emergency declarations and executive orders. Sadly, COVID atrocities and a reckoning are off the table for discussion in the upcoming election due to the nomination of Donald Trump. Because both parties are complicit - both parties agree to cover it up. This is VERY dangerous for We The People. So now … the tinder box is being prepared and mixing a financial crisis, an immigration crisis and a contested election in a bitterly divided nation has the potential to give the deep state every excuse they need to usher in sweeping speech restrictions unlike ANYTHING we have witnessed.Show Resources:Here comes the free speech CRACKDOWN --which we must RESISThttps://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/here-comes-the-free-speech-crackdownIntentions of the Non-Elites: Round Two - Jessica Rose, Brownstone Institutehttps://brownstone.org/articles/intentions-of-the-non-elites-round-two/The Post Ideological Age - Jeffrey Tuckerhttps://brownstone.org/articles/the-post-ideological-age/Please Support Our Sponsors:Check out Patriot Mobile TODAY!

Across Europe, NATO countries are watching Ukraine closely. They're studying how the war is being fought, what tools are being used, and the role that technology is playing on the battlefield.  Also, Nicolás Maduro is declaring victory in Venezuela's recent election, but accusations of fraud are widespread. Protesters have hit the streets in Caracas. And, Beiwen Zhang became a pro badminton player at age 13, after leaving her home country of China for Singapore to pursue the sport. She struggled with the pressure to perform, though, and ended up retiring early. But she's back at it, and competing in the Paris Games. 

The recent elections in France and the UK show that centrists and leftists are united to stop any sort of nationalism from rising across Western Europe.

Plus, we discuss the “Sketch” controversy and some interesting perspectives on the leaked OF, Trump & JD Vance join teams to keep abortion legalized, and once again we look at a new videos of our favorite group of people behaving badly. __ ⇩SUPPORT THE SHOW⇩➤ JOIN CENSORED TV: Watch this FULL EPISODE ad free + EXCLUSIVE content at https://censored.tv/ promo code “OFFENSIVE” for 20% - Keep free speech media alive!➤ JOIN THE PRIVATE LIVE COMMUNITY: https://elijahschaffer.locals.com/➤ NOTICER T-SHIRTS / MERCH: https://slightlyoffensive.com/__⇩ SHOW SPONSORS⇩➤ UNDERTAC: Get the best pair of boxers in America that are breathable, don't ride up, and last the test of time.

Pro-Palestinian protests have disrupted campus life at colleges and universities in the United States in response to Israel’s intense bombardments on Gaza following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. Similar demonstrations have taken place in Europe too, where protesters are demanding their schools divest from Israeli-linked companies. Plus, Americans are going into debt to pay for groceries, and results from an United Auto Workers' union vote at an Alabama plant are expected today. Marketplace is currently tracking behind target for this budget year — that means listeners like you can make a critical difference by investing in our journalism today.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:    U.S. officials are confirming that the Biden administration has halted a large shipment of offensive weapons to Israel in an attempt to pressure leaders in Jerusalem to forgo plans for a large-scale ground operation in the final Hamas stronghold of Rafah.  Anti-Israeli sentiment is spreading throughout the western world, as the chaotic pro-Palestinian student protests that recently engulfed American college campuses begin to erupt across Europe.
