    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today's biggest stories shaping America and the world. Alligator Alcatraz and ICE Raids Spark National Debate Polling shows over 60% of Americans support deportations, including a growing number of Hispanic voters. At Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center, migrants complain about conditions, while LA officials criticize ongoing ICE raids. Meanwhile, left-wing attacks on ICE officers escalate, and Democrat senators propose unmasking agents. President Trump slams the idea, calling it dangerous and un-American. Trump Offers Tariff Discounts to African Nations That Accept Deportees President Trump is using tariff policy to pressure countries to accept U.S. deportees. In a bid to ease deportation backlogs, he offers lower tariffs and increased investment to African nations like Gabon, Senegal, and Guinea-Bissau if they agree to resettle illegal migrants. Some leaders appear open, especially where economic incentives align with rare earth mineral access. Brazil Tariffs Escalate as Trump Responds to Free Speech Crackdown Trump imposes a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods in response to President Lula's treatment of former conservative leader Jair Bolsonaro. Brazil threatens retaliation, which could affect prices for key imports like coffee, beef, and rare earths. Bryan supports Trump's leverage strategy but cautions against alienating allies without diplomatic finesse. Tariffs Not Driving Inflation, But Price Pressures May Be Coming Despite fears, Axios reports that tariffs have not significantly raised consumer prices. Most U.S. companies are absorbing the costs or adapting supply chains. However, 77% say they may raise prices within six months. Bryan celebrates being right about his “Costco analogy” and urges listeners to watch corporate earnings next week for updates. Microsoft Lays Off Americans, Hires Foreign Workers, and Embraces AI Microsoft plans to lay off 15,000 U.S. workers while replacing them with AI and 14,000 foreign hires, mostly from China and India, via H-1B visas. Critics argue the program is abused to undercut American wages. Bryan warns of growing youth unemployment and calls for policy changes before AI and outsourcing further erode the U.S. labor market.

    When George W. Bush created the PEPFAR program in 2003, it was celebrated by evangelical leaders and has saved more than 26 million lives in Africa from HIV/AIDS. So why weren't evangelicals outraged when Donald Trump killed PEPFAR, which has already resulted in over 75,000 deaths since January? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn unpack the arguments for and against PEPFAR, and how evangelical support for “small government” only applies to some programs. Then, Katilyn talks to Sharon Hodde Miller about what the self-esteem movement gets wrong about insecurity, and how we can recover the Christian virtue of service and self-forgetfulness. Also this week, rotten butter ants invade Europe.   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview with Rachel Martin: https://www.patreon.com/posts/133604080/   Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/133671224/   0:00 - Show Starts   3:22 - Theme Song   3:45 - Sponsor - Blueland - Get up to 25% off your first order by going to https://www.Blueland.com/HOLYPOST   4:50 - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.

    EPISODE SUMMARY: What becomes visible when you shift the lens away from Beijing to how China's Belt and Road projects unfold on the ground? Seeing China's Belt and Road, edited by Edward Schatz and Rachel Silvey, answers this question by reorienting conversations on China's global infrastructure development to their “downstream” effects. Instead of analyzing the BRI through grand geopolitical narratives or a national strategic lens, the book draws on fieldwork across Asia, Africa, and Latin America to show how local actors—mayors, contractors, migrant workers, and residents—shape and contest projects in practice. Contributing authors challenge simplified portrayals of the BRI as either neocolonial domination or benevolent development, instead revealing its fragmented, improvised, and negotiated nature. Our conversation touches on themes including the visual politics of infrastructure, how power flows through projects, and the agency of local people in shaping global connectivity. We also look ahead to emerging frontiers of China's influence, including digital corridors and cleaner energy, offering a view of China's evolving global presence. GUEST BIOS: Dr. Edward Schatz is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto. He is interested in identity politics, social transformations, social movements, anti-Americanism, and authoritarianism with a focus on the ex-USSR, particularly Central Asia. His publications include Slow Anti-Americanism (Stanford UP, 2021), Paradox of Power (co-edited with John Heathershaw, U. Pittsburgh Press, 2017), Political Ethnography (edited, U. Chicago Press, 2009), Modern Clan Politics (U. Washington Press, 2004), as well as articles in Comparative Politics, Slavic Review, International Political Science Review, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Nationalism and Ethnic Politics, and other academic journals. Current projects include a collaborative effort (with Rachel Silvey) to understand the downstream effects of China's Belt & Road Initiative, as well as a book about the rise of shamelessness in global politics. Dr. Rachel Silvey is Richard Charles Lee Director of the Asian Institute and Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning. She is a Faculty Affiliate in CDTS, WGSI, and the Ethnic, Immigration and Pluralism Studies Program. She received her Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Washington, Seattle, and a dual B.A. from the University of California at Santa Cruz in Environmental Studies and Southeast Asian Studies. Professor Silvey is best known for her research on women's labour and migration in Indonesia. She has published widely in the fields of migration studies, cultural and political geography, gender studies, and critical development. Her major funded research projects have focused on migration, gender, social networks, and economic development in Indonesia; immigration and employment among Southeast Asian-Americans; migration and marginalization in Bangladesh and Indonesia; and religion, rights and Indonesian migrant women workers in Saudi Arabia.LINKS TO RESOURCES Seeing China's Belt and Road: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/seeing-chinas-belt-and-road-9780197789261?cc=us&lang=en& Overview with contributing authors on Seeing China's Belt and Road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULuHvAhUV_4 The Rise of the Infrastructure State How US–China Rivalry Shapes Politics and Place Worldwide: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/the-rise-of-the-infrastructure-state Learn more about your ad choices.

    “It's the perfect combo between being a beauty and a beast, and understanding I can separate the two. Knowing who I am in the ring is just an animal, who works hard, been in camp for 8 weeks and then there's Alycia who wants to do her hair, get dressed up, uplift others- it really throws people off.” Alycia Baumgardner, Undisputed super featherweight boxing champion With her highly anticipated return to the ring streaming live on Netflix July 11, undisputed super featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner joins The Pivot Podcast for a raw and revealing conversation just days before fight night. Known for her knockout power and unapologetic confidence, Alycia opens up about what this moment means—and the mindset it takes to stay at the top. Alycia opens up to Ryan, Channing and Fred about her journey—from overcoming early setbacks and self-doubt to rising through the ranks and capturing titles with flair both in and out of the ring. Her humble beginnings grounded by having her father as her boxing coach and life coach engrained the value of hard work, chasing dreams and being resilient. She breaks down the emotional moment of becoming world champion while sharing the heartbreak of losing her father on this journey to top of women's boxing and how it has reinvigorated her motivation beyond the ring. Going from Amatuer to Champ, we talk about the pivotal moments that shaped Alycia's boxing style and fueled her fierce determination, molding a certain part of her approach after Mike Tyson. Being mentally tough with a strong mindset, Alycia shares how she handles pressure preparing for a fight, walking to the ring and the second the bell rings how everything turns from fuel to focus. With a new trainer and signed to Jake Paul's MVP boxing, it's all about redefining women's sports, sharing her perspective on on being a champion in a male-dominated sport and paving the way for future generations. We also dive into her passions away from the ring, with mental wellness advocacy, crafting her personal brand, fashion, modeling and how visiting Africa truly changed her. This conversation is a blueprint for channelling discipline, resilience, and confidence—no matter what your arena may be and also having the courage to rewrite your own narrative. It's high stakes come July 11th, but Alycia is more than ready for the chance to be on the biggest stage at Madison Square Garden with the world watching on Netflix as she defends her title and furthers a historical movement in women's sports.

    Margaret Laird's life was extraordinary in so many ways. She was born in 1897 in Denver, Colorado. She grew up in a large family, went to college and became a dental radiologist. Though a church goer all her life, it was in college that Margaret first heard the Gospel and received Jesus as her Lord. Put off at first by the idea of leaving America as a missionary, she was nevertheless compelled to yield her whole life to whatever plans God had for her. Yielding to God became the slogan of her life. She went to the Central Republic of Africa in 1924 and spent the next forty years ministering, loving, and sharing the Gospel with the Banda people.

    In this episode, I dive into one of the smartest ways to scale your business as an entrepreneur or online business owner—outsourcing your marketing and sales tasks to virtual assistants. If you've ever felt stretched thin doing everything yourself, or you've struggled to find high-quality help without blowing your budget, this episode is going to give you real clarity.I walk through what tasks you should actually be outsourcing, how to do it the right way, and why looking globally—especially to Africa—might just be the most strategic move you can make.I'm joined by outsourcing expert Valerie Bowden, and together we talk about how to build a lean, effective, and ethical remote team that supports your growth without the burnout.Guest IntroductionValerie Bowden is the founder of CRDLE, a company that connects entrepreneurs and business owners with top-tier remote sales and marketing talent from Africa. After living in Ethiopia for years and witnessing firsthand how major corporations were quietly outsourcing to Africa without fair wages or growth paths, she launched CRDLE to offer a better, more ethical alternative. Today, Valerie helps online businesses and growing companies build cost-effective, high-performance teams that scale sustainably and responsibly.Hiring High-Quality VAs the Right Way - Key TakeawaysStrategic outsourcing helps you scale affordably without compromising on qualityMany online business owners wait too long to delegate and end up burned outTasks like cold calling, lead generation, and podcast booking are perfect for virtual assistantsThe #1 outsourcing mistake is failing to train your team properlyDaily check-ins, clear SOPs, and a strong onboarding process drive successFreelance platforms like Upwork are great for one-off projects, but building a long-term team requires deeper integrationFocus your time on what only you can do—and outsource everything else to free up capacityTraining Offshore Team MembersRecord initial trainings to onboard future hires more efficientlySchedule short daily check-ins during the first couple of weeks to build momentumInclude VAs in team meetings—they're part of your team, not a side resourceYou should always own the voice, strategy, and messagingDon't expect perfection immediately—give space for growthWhat to Outsource in Sales and MarketingMarketing tasks: social media scheduling, video editing, content uploading, podcast booking, engagementSales tasks: cold calling, lead scraping, CRM maintenance, appointment settingCombine LinkedIn outreach with cold calls to warm up your sales funnelTools like Apollo.io make it easy to gather verified lead dataWhy Choose Africa for OutsourcingAfrica has a large, highly skilled talent pool with strong English and solid educationIt's far less saturated than traditional outsourcing countries, so you find better candidates fasterHiring from Africa also supports a powerful social mission—especially for young womenCRDLE connects you with pre-vetted, highly motivated professionals ready to contributeIntegrating AI into Outsourced RolesAI tools like ChatGPT help VAs generate content, match tone, and stay on-brandVAs can research and test AI tools to streamline your workflowsAI + outsourcing = more leverage for your business, less time doing the heavy lifting yourselfThis combination empowers you to stay agile and competitive as you scaleKey Quotes"If someone's spending all day cold calling, they shouldn't be doing it at a U.S. salary.

They unpack the U.S. and Qatar-brokered peace deal, its minerals component and the pitfalls in the Trump administration's mediation style, also looking at diplomacy in other hotspots. They also discuss Sudan's civil war and whether Trump's illiberal dealmaking might offer a way out. They examine simmering tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea and what renewed war between them would mean for an already tumultuous region. Finally, they look at how revisionist leaders in Africa may be emboldened by a broader global trend of achieving goals through force, how Africans view Trump's second term policy so far and how it compares to Chinese engagement in Africa.

    Bård YlvisåkerTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Bård Ylvisåker. Bård is one half of the Norwegian comedy & music duo "Ylvis". In this episode, we chat about how growing up in Africa and abroad helped him and his brother (Vegard) develop their own sense of comedy. He shares stories of the brothers getting started and finding the way to their own unique sound and comedic voice. I also ask him about some of the variety television shows that him & Vegard participated in and developed. They hosted a radio show for several years on Norway; as well as several comedy television series in the region. Obviously, we talk about his experience on 'Taskmaster' (Kongen Befaler) as well as the show "I Kveld med Ylvis". Then, in 2013, Ylvis rocketed to worldwide stardom with the smash comedy-pop hit song "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)". This song became a global phenomenon, with over 1.2 BILLION views on YouTube. Bård explains what the song is about, and what the success of it did for him and his brother. He describes what it was like to tour the world, while having a brand-new baby, and how that kept him grounded. We also discuss a 7-episode comedy series made for Norwegian television called 'Stories From Norway'. This series was based on true events where a group of Norwegian scientists launched a rocket carrying scientific equipment to study the Aurora Borealis. Due to an error in communication within Russia; officials there mistook it for a nuclear warhead headed toward Russia, launched by an American submarine off the coast of Norway. The story is absolutely insane, but true, The Ylvis television series made light of the event, while also spreading the knowledge that it was the closest we have come to an actual nuclear war on Earth. Hard to believe, but the songs from this project are hilarious! You can find those songs on Spotify and elsewhere; but the TV show itself, is nearly impossible to locate. So, if anyone has, or can find it.... SEND IT TO ME! Naturally, Bård lets me play 'The Fox', and another song by Ylvis that is also one of my favorites. Check them out at Ylvis.com and see what they are up to.

    What comes to mind when we think about the Sahara? Rippling sand dunes, sun-blasted expanses, camel drivers and their caravans perhaps. Or famine, climate change, civil war, desperate migrants stuck in a hostile environment. The Sahara stretches across 3.2 million square miles, hosting several million inhabitants and a corresponding variety of languages, cultures, and livelihoods. But beyond ready-made images of exoticism and squalor, we know surprisingly little about its history and the people who call it home. Shifting Sands is about that other Sahara, not the empty wasteland of the romantic imagination but the vast and highly differentiated space in which Saharan peoples and, increasingly, new arrivals from other parts of Africa live, work, and move. It takes us from the ancient Roman Empire through the bloody colonial era to the geopolitics of the present, questioning easy clichés and exposing fascinating truths along the way. From the geology of the region to the religions, languages, and cultural and political forces that shape and fracture it, this landmark book tells the compelling story of a place that sits at the heart of our world, and whose future holds implications for us all. Judith Scheele is a social anthropologist with a special interest in the Sahara and neighbouring areas. She has carried out long-term fieldwork in Algeria, Mali and Chad.

    What comes to mind when we think about the Sahara? Rippling sand dunes, sun-blasted expanses, camel drivers and their caravans perhaps. Or famine, climate change, civil war, desperate migrants stuck in a hostile environment. The Sahara stretches across 3.2 million square miles, hosting several million inhabitants and a corresponding variety of languages, cultures, and livelihoods. But beyond ready-made images of exoticism and squalor, we know surprisingly little about its history and the people who call it home. Shifting Sands is about that other Sahara, not the empty wasteland of the romantic imagination but the vast and highly differentiated space in which Saharan peoples and, increasingly, new arrivals from other parts of Africa live, work, and move. It takes us from the ancient Roman Empire through the bloody colonial era to the geopolitics of the present, questioning easy clichés and exposing fascinating truths along the way. From the geology of the region to the religions, languages, and cultural and political forces that shape and fracture it, this landmark book tells the compelling story of a place that sits at the heart of our world, and whose future holds implications for us all. Judith Scheele is a social anthropologist with a special interest in the Sahara and neighbouring areas. She has carried out long-term fieldwork in Algeria, Mali and Chad.

    African Tech Roundup
    East Meets Africa: Bernard Laurendeau on Curating African Opportunity For Japanese Investors

    Episode overview: Bernard Laurendeau has a mission: to stop African business leaders from asking for "patient capital." The Ethiopian-French management consultant, now operating from Tokyo, believes this standard pitch fundamentally misunderstands how global investment works and fails African markets. It's a contrarian stance from someone who's spent 15 years advising Fortune 50 clients and building institutions across three continents. After co-founding Arifpay, Ethiopia's first licensed Payment System Operator, and serving as senior advisor to Ethiopia's jobs creation commission, Laurendeau has repositioned himself in Japan's corporate heartland with Laurendeau & Associates and Enkopa Lab. From his Tokyo base, Laurendeau delivers what he calls "execution horsepower" to both African governments and Japanese corporations seeking African market entry. His client portfolio spans Google and Cisco to UAE's Ministry of Finance, applying strategic frameworks honed at BNP Paribas to emerging market challenges. Key insights: - On financial sovereignty: Despite supporting fintech innovation, Laurendeau advocates fiercely for African countries maintaining control over their financial services infrastructure. - On Japanese business culture: Japanese organisations bring uncompromising quality standards to everything—"there's no such thing as downgrading." Whilst this limits their market share compared to Chinese competitors offering multiple price points, it creates superior knowledge transfer opportunities for African partners. - On data-driven decisions: Investors don't want to "think long-term"—they want confidence in their decisions. Laurendeau's experience with big data analytics in Silicon Valley informs his approach to providing real-time, actionable intelligence rather than outdated World Bank reports. - On innovation vs infrastructure: African entrepreneurs risk becoming "lazy" by chasing trendy technologies whilst neglecting "boring" fundamentals - On institutional building: African countries need people willing to do "Gov-preneurship": embedding with governments to build policies, institutions, and strategic frameworks. Most leaders are "lonely" and welcome diaspora expertise, contrary to corruption narratives. - On execution over ideology: Management consulting in emerging markets requires output orientation, not retainer relationships. Clients want expert advice immediately, not consultant armies producing fancy acronyms and quadrant analyses. Notable moments: 1. Why Laurendeau switched from mechanical and aerospace engineering (ENSTA France, Georgia Tech) to management consulting after realising security clearance barriers would limit his US career prospects 2. His observation that at Africa-focused investment conferences in Japan, "people were talking about Africa...with no Africans in the room" 3. Reflections on Arifpay achieving profitability and dividend distribution, proving African fintech could build sustainable, high-performing teams rapidly 4. His frank assessment that young Africans show more "thirst" for knowledge and change than their counterparts in developed economies, despite having fewer resources The contrarian take: Laurendeau's most provocative insight challenges the "patient capital" narrative that dominates African investment discourse. Rather than asking investors to adopt longer time horizons, he argues African markets should provide the confidence and data quality that enables rapid decision-making. Image credit: Enkopa Lab
