Political Instability in Bolivia and Regional Alliances. Guest: Evan Ellis. President Rodrigo Paz has survived a 50-day crisis in Bolivia after declaring a state of emergency to clear blockades led by Evo Morales. While regional allies have supported Paz, Brazil's absence from this coalition highlights President Lula's role as a principal counterweight to US influence. 111959

Chuck opens the podcast with a wide-ranging look at what he sees as the long-term impact of the Trump administration's foreign policy. He argues that the United States has weakened many of the alliances and institutions that underpinned American influence for decades, raising questions about whether key partners in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East can still rely on Washington as a stable security partner. Then Chuck is joined by Eurasia Group founder Ian Bremmer for an in-depth conversation about the aftermath of the Iran war, the future of the Middle East, and the growing geopolitical uncertainty facing America's allies. Bremmer explains why he believes the conflict has fundamentally altered regional dynamics, creating competing power blocs led by the UAE and Israel on one side and Saudi Arabia and its partners on the other. He also discusses China's opportunities in the region, the future of Iran's regime, and why the biggest long-term consequence of the conflict may be an accelerated global shift away from oil and gas. The conversation then turns to Russia and Ukraine, where Bremmer delivers a stark warning: Vladimir Putin may now represent the world's most dangerous geopolitical risk. He explains why he is increasingly concerned about Putin's isolation, decision-making, and willingness to escalate as the war continues. In Ask Chuck, listeners ask about Democratic impeachment scenarios, presidential war powers, the future of the Republican Party, and other political questions shaping the road to 2028.

The war inside the Sinaloa Cartel may be reaching a turning point. In this episode, we break down the alleged collapse of the Chapitos faction, the fallout from El Mayo Zambada's shocking kidnapping and arrest, and the reported U.S. indictment targeting powerful political figures in Sinaloa. As Chapo Guzmán's sons lose allies, money, manpower, and political protection, the balance of power may be shifting toward Los Mayitos. But this story goes far beyond cartel infighting. We also explore the bigger picture: U.S. pressure on Mexican politicians, growing American intelligence activity inside Mexico, surveillance technology on the border, alleged CIA involvement, and whether this marks a new phase in the war against Mexican cartels. Is this the end of the Guzmán dynasty? Are the Chapitos negotiating their surrender? And is Mexico becoming the next major battlefield for U.S. foreign policy? Topics covered: -The Chapitos vs. Los Mayitos war -El Mayo Zambada's kidnapping and arrest -The alleged indictment of Sinaloa politicians -Rubén Rocha Moya and cartel corruption claims -The fall of Chapo Guzmán's sons -CJNG's role in the conflict -U.S. intelligence activity in Mexico -CIA, cartels, surveillance, and Mexican sovereignty -What comes next for the Sinaloa Cartel If you enjoyed the video, drop a comment, hit the like button, and subscribe for more deep dives into cartels, organized crime, geopolitics, and the hidden forces shaping Latin America.

Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. In this episode we examine the headlines about 50 Cent and Drake through the lens of celebrity relationships. Using social media posts, past collaborations, and public comments (including Jay‑Z and Diddy not being friends and Kendrick's collaborations with Drake), we distinguish friendship types — from acquaintances and activity friends to true personal support networks. We explore why fans experience cognitive dissonance when online interactions and curated images suggest close bonds, why many industry relationships are transactional (features, branding, label alliances), and how fandom expectations shape reactions to apparent conflicts. Episodes clips include analysis of lyrical references and public statements (e.g., TI, TLC, Whoodini) to illustrate how artists explain friendsn or the lack of. Listeners will leave with clear criteria to judge public displays of friendship, strategies for separating marketing from genuine connection, and questions to evaluate whether a celebrity relationship is real friendship or business partnership.Hashtags: #FrenemiesAndFeatures #CelebrityFriendship #MusicIndustry #50Cent #Drake #FandomTruth #MediaLiteracy

Theo Jaffee and Sophia Puccini speak with Balaji Srinivasan and Steven Glinert about the shifting balance of power between nations, networks, and technology. The conversation covers China's industrial rise, America's manufacturing challenges, the role of alliances in a multipolar world, and whether the internet is becoming a political force independent of traditional nation states. They discuss supply chains, technological sovereignty, decentralization, and competing visions for the future global order. Along the way, Balaji outlines ideas from the Network State and Network School, while both guests debate how technology, economics, and political power may evolve over the coming decades.   Resources: Follow Balaji Srinivasan on X: https://x.com/balajis Follow Steven Glinert on X: https://x.com/stevenglinert Follow Theo Jaffee on X: https://x.com/theojaffee Follow Sophia Puccini on X:https://x.com/schisofrenia   Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Today, John, Amy, Algene, and Andy break down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's address at the Shangri-La Dialogue, where he outlined the administration's strategy for the Indo-Pacific. Hegseth struck a softer tone than last year, framing U.S. alliances around shared interests rather than shared values, emphasizing hard power deterrence along the island chain, and calling for greater burden sharing among partners, while declining to mention Taiwan by name. Does the speech signal a potentially dramatic shift in how Washington approaches Beijing, with some analysts warning it cedes significant ground after years of a tougher posture?Does reframing alliances around interests rather than values weaken the credibility of U.S. commitments in the region? Is Japan's nascent domestic intelligence agency an indication that the burden-sharing message is landing with partners? With a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan reportedly being used as a bargaining chip with Xi, what does Hegseth's emphasis on hard power and ally burden sharing fall flat?

This week we take stock of a world in motion. Not in the dramatic, headline-grabbing way of the past few months, but in the quieter, structural way that tends to matter more in the long run. Countries are rearranging. Alliances are forming between actors who would have looked to Washington ten years ago. The global order is not collapsing so much as reorganising around the absence of a centre.We start with the Iran-US negotiations, now firmly in Groundhog Day territory. Both sides want out, neither can afford to let the other claim victory, and Trump's shifting language on the Strait of Hormuz suggests he may be tired enough to accept an ending that does not come with a press conference. The catch, as always, is whether he can contain himself long enough for that to happen.From there we move to the main event: a tour through the countries quietly building new relationships in the space that Western decline has opened up. Vietnam and Thailand on defence and supply chains. Japan and the Philippines on intelligence sharing. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan formalising a security relationship that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. South Africa's foreign minister saying, at a major regional summit, almost word for word what we have been arguing on this podcast for years. The world is not waiting for Western permission to reorganise itself.We close by asking what all of this means for citizens, corporations, and governments, the three forces that will ultimately determine whether the chaos of the next decade produces something better or simply more of the same. The answer, as Eisenhower might have warned, depends entirely on whether any of them are willing to get off the tracks.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

Focusing on U.S. leadership, Michael McFaul discusses the importance of "peace through strength" while maintaining robust alliances with fellow democracies. He critiques recent U.S. foreign policy for causing doubt among allies and urges a return to a values-based approach that supports dissidents like Jimmy Lai. McFaul warns of a "self-help alliance" between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, who cooperate to sustain their respective regimes. To counter this, he argues that the "small-D democrats" of the world must remain united and vocal about human rights. Supporting global liberty requires both military preparedness and moral clarity.

Au début du mois de mai 2026, un sommet intitulé « Africa forward » (« en avant l'AFRIQUE »), organisé pour la première fois dans un pays anglophone, le Kenya, réunissait 35 chefs d'État et de gouvernement de tout le continent ainsi que des représentants des sociétés civiles et de grands groupes français et africains. Il y fut surtout question d'investissements et d'affaires. La France, contestée voire expulsée de certaines de ses anciennes possessions et affaiblie politiquement, cherche à maintenir sa présence sur le continent sur le terrain économique, y compris dans les pays anglophones. Un mouvement de redéploiement économique a déjà été entamé par de nombreux autres pays : la Chine, la Turquie, l'Inde, les pays du Golfe, l'Espagne, l'Allemagne et l'Italie. L'annonce en novembre 2022 de la fin de l'opération française Barkhane au Sahel a été largement interprétée comme la clôture d'un cycle stratégique ouvert au début des années 2000, marqué par la centralité des opérations extérieures de contre-terrorisme, de stabilisation et de gestion des crises. Barkhane fut le successeur de Serval, avec une empreinte régionale étendue. Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Tchad, Mauritanie. Le Sahel qui, au fil des années, a cessé d'être seulement un théâtre de lutte contre le terrorisme pour devenir un terrain de rivalités entre puissances, où Russie, Turquie et Émirats Arabes Unis sont particulièrement actifs. La guerre de l'information est généralement mise en avant comme le maillon faible de l'opération Barkane au cours de laquelle la France s'est vue imposer des récits adverses donnant l'image d'un pays intrusif et inefficace, questionnant sa légitimité. Et aujourd'hui, la tentation est grande dans le débat public français de réduire Barkhane à un échec à oublier.  Pour cette cinquième émission en partenariat avec l'INALCO, l'Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales et son programme DECRIPT portant sur les transformations du système international et les effets politiques et institutionnels de ces récits civilisationnels qui ont émergé sur la scène mondiale, nos invités : Raphaëlle Chevrillon-Guibert, chercheuse en Science politique à l'IRD, Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, et membre du laboratoire PRODIG Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos, directeur de recherche à l'Institut de Recherche pour le développement. Co-directeur de la collection Afrique(s) aux éditions FMSH, Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme.

In this episode of the Future of the Firm podcast, Paul Clark, Partner & Global Alliance Leader - EY Microsoft at EY, joins Fiona Czerniawska, CEO at Source, to discuss reinventing technology alliances.  We address following questions and more:  Is AI ushering in a new era of implementation partner dynamics? You don't get to the lightbulb through continuous reinvention of the candle. How can we reimagine the entire partner model to integrate deep domain expertise, sector insights, and an understanding of business processes?   What if the real value of AI isn't replacing people, but amplifying human capability at scale? Are clients moving beyond the traditional divide between business and technology teams to fully integrated decision making?  AI could completely reshape the future of payment models in professional services. Will outcomes-based pricing become the new normal?   With large-scale alliances like EY-Microsoft, how can firms work together to make the most of the expertise on both sides?    If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice. In the latest podcast episode, we spoke to Andrea Lattimore, Global Director – Compliance & Business Integrity at Vodafone, to explore how trust can be leveraged as a driver of growth and resilience in a global organisation.

Award-winning author, Shelly Puhak, joins us to discuss her wonderful book, The Dark Queens: The Bloody Rivalry That Forged the Medieval World, about two of the most powerful rulers in European history: Queen Fredegund and Queen Brunhilde.These two powerful queens commanded armies and fought each other over several decades. Brilliant and tough, they battled not only for supremacy, but survival, using the tools of diplomacy and warfare as needed.  Alliances with popes, queens and kings stabilized their realms.  Combined, their empires extended through Germany, Belgium, France and Spain, and laid the foundations for the the development of European nation-states to come. After their deaths, they suffered a familiar fate as other great women of history: their stories were erased or rewritten, and their names were sullied.Dawn "Sam" Alden and Sean Marlon Newcombe co-host.

Alliances are shifting like sand by the midpoint of Maul – Shadow Lord. Who will end up on top?In this week's episode, we recap "Inquisition" and “Night of the Hunted” (Season 1, Chapters 5–6). These episodes mark the first time—in chronological order—that we see an Inquisitor onscreen, and we talk through the formation of these Jedi hunters. We also play a little game of alliances, doing a deep dive into where every main character stands with the next. As Devon and Maul are drawn closer together, she and her Master are being driven apart. But there's also a growing strength between Master Daki and Captain Lawson, both of whom reveal hidden depths.Timestamps:00:00:00 Who Are We?00:02:08 Plot Summary00:10:02 The Beginning of the Inquisitors00:21:47 Shifting Alliances00:28:03 Survivor: Maul Edition00:53:44 Bae Watch01:01:04 Closing ThoughtsWant more Growing Up Skywalker?

The post-WWII global order is officially dead—and a new era is beginning. In the episode recorded live at the S&P Global Market Intelligence's Annual Community Bankers Conference on May 6, geopolitical strategist and author Dr. George Friedman discusses the conflict between the U.S. and Iran, Russia's failure in the Ukraine, how America reinvents itself through instability, and the pivotal U.S.-China summit on May 14. Dr. Friedman's core argument: The entire Bretton Woods system—NATO, multilateral trade, the U.S.-European alliance—was built to contain the Soviet Union. Russia's catastrophic failure in Ukraine proved that threat no longer exists, rendering the old framework obsolete. What's replacing it is a bilateral U.S.-China order that could reshape global economics for a generation.

PREVIEW for Later Today: Anatol Lieven explores Chinese perspectives on a potential Trump visit and regional conflicts. China anticipates that economic strain from the Iran war may ultimately weaken American alliances in Asia, facilitating future Chinese regional leadership.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a daily podcast completely abandons structure and just lets the chaos drive the Ford Focus directly onto the sidewalk. And somehow? It works beautifully.The gang starts off talking about language, slang, and why the word “cool” has survived for over 100 years while every other trendy word died a painful MySpace death. From there, things immediately escalate into a passionate discussion about Bob Seger, Risky Business slides at weddings, and whether wedding invitations feel exciting… or like being summoned for jury duty with chicken parmesan.Then the show uncovers a completely real service where strangers can literally BUY seats at weddings. That's right — random people are paying actual money to attend weddings they were never invited to. Because apparently the economy has gotten so weird that “professional wedding guest” is now a side hustle. Naturally, the crew debates whether crashing weddings for entertainment is genius or a fast track to getting tackled by someone's drunk uncle named Gary.Things somehow become even more ridiculous when listeners introduce “Bruce Madness,” a March Madness-style bracket dedicated entirely to ranking the greatest Bruces of all time. This launches a full-blown debate featuring Bruce Willis, Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Lee, Bruce Wayne, Bruce Campbell, Bruce Dern, Bruce Almighty, and approximately 47 other Bruces nobody expected to hear discussed in a serious context today. The arguments become passionate. Alliances shift. Friendships are tested. Batman gets involved. It's basically CNN for people who peaked at Spencer's Gifts.Chris Kerber joins the show to weigh in on hockey, the Kentucky Derby, Blues draft strategy, Dylan Holloway's extension, and yes… even MORE Bruce opinions because at this point the show has fully committed to the bit. There's also incredible Derby talk involving dorm-room air mattresses, mint juleps priced like luxury handbags, and infield stories that sound like NASCAR collided with a wedding reception.And then there's the weird news story that somehow tops everything else: a woman named Wendy allegedly chasing a dirt bike kid down a sidewalk in a silver Ford Focus while drunk and trying to “socialize her dog.” Which sounds less like a legal defense and more like the title of a rejected Florida crime documentary. The crew breaks down the viral footage, questions humanity, and collectively realizes that every neighborhood has THAT person lurking nearby.This episode is loaded with the exact kind of sarcastic humor, ridiculous arguments, weird stories, celebrity commentary, and chaotic energy that make The Rizzuto Show one of the best daily podcasts and funniest morning shows around. If you like your entertainment loud, self-aware, slightly unhinged, and aggressively St. Louis, congratulations — you've found your people.Whether you came for the comedy podcast vibes, the weird news, the Bruce discourse, or just needed a break from reality for a couple hours, this daily podcast delivers the kind of nonsense that only The Rizzuto Show can produce.And seriously… Bruce Wayne might actually have a case.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It all comes down to this - The MAUL: SHADOW LORD Season One FINALE After Show, breaking down Episodes 9 and 10—"Chapter 9: Strange Allies" and "Chapter 10: The Dark Lord." Alliances are tested, secrets are revealed, and Maul's long game comes sharply into focus as the season reaches its explosive conclusion. We'll unpack the biggest moments, lingering questions, and what this finale means for Maul's future in Star Wars canon.

We live in times of startling upheaval. The Middle East continues to be a source of global chaos and instability. Alliances are breaking and reshaping at blinding speed. The systems and institutions on which our modern civilization depends—economic, governmental, medical, scientific, educational—all continue to prove themselves unworthy of our trust, yet with no alternatives to replace them. News programs seem to carry a litany of tales of suffering—not only on the global scale, but also the intimate and personal. There has never been a time in human history when the entire world needed to pay more attention to Bible prophecy. Yet, many don't. God has given us Bible prophecy for a REASON, and the times in which you and I are living, RIGHT NOW, make understanding those reasons more important than ever! Today, we want to make those reasons plain, and to equip you to do more than wonder about prophecy—we want you to understand it. So, join us right now on Tomorrow's World, where we will help you “Understand Bible Prophecy!”

Episode 988 of The Professional Left is a drama in three acts, each one taking a hard look at a political strategy that keeps failing — and the people who keep insisting it will work next time. Driftglass and Blue Gal dig into the endless, maddening cycle of reaching out to voters who have made it abundantly clear they don't want to be reached, and why the media keeps writing the same breathless story about it anyway. Then things get complicated when a very familiar face from the enemy camp shows up claiming to have seen the light, forcing a very serious question about exactly who gets welcomed into the "pro-democracy coalition" and why. And finally, a minor pundit with a very convenient memory gets a long-overdue look at her greatest hits — because in this Club, the only thing that matters is who you know and when you decided to care.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Why ___ Lost Survivor 50 Ep 8 w/ Dr. Jeremy Faust Coach and Chrissy were the tightest of allies from the start of Survivor 50. So it's appropriate they left the game together. Chrissy did worry though, saying, “I don't want to go home because of Coach's fricking shenanigans.” Is that what happened? Or were there other, more complicated, reasons for one or both of them? Dr. Jeremy Faust joins David Bloomberg and Jessica Lewis to discuss everything about their games, plus thoughts on the Double Duo twist and more! At RHAP, we know Survivor, and we know Why Coach and Chrissy Lost. Why Blank Lost returns with a look into Survivor 50's biggest double elimination yet, hosted by David Bloomberg and Jessica Lewis, with special guest Dr. Jeremy Faust. In this milestone episode, the trio unpacks a wild week where an unprecedented duo twist sends Coach and Chrissy home together and shakes up the path to the endgame. Jessica and David kick things off debating the fairness of Survivor 50's controversial twist, forcing players to pair up for a vote they never saw coming. Dr. Jeremy Faust weighs in on the strategy behind choosing partners without knowing the consequence, and how old-school players like Coach and Chrissy quickly became vulnerable. They scrutinize Coach's relentless focus on “honesty, loyalty, and integrity,” showing how his inability to adapt and scheme left him exposed, while Chrissy's social game falls flat as she clings to a single alliance and misses out on broader connections. Standout moments in this episode include: – Jessica Lewis and David Bloomberg's analysis of the duo twist – Dr. Jeremy Faust's comedic and strategic take – Coach's public missteps – Chrissy's trouble using past “trauma” for growth, – Cirie’s near-invisible maneuvering to shift the target, As alliances fracture and the numbers dwindle, the hosts wonder: Was the twist really to blame for Coach and Chrissy's exit, or were they doomed by their own rigid gameplay? Who will seize control as the game moves past this explosive Tribal Council?

Million Dollar Secret Season 2 Premiere Week Recap Million Dollar Secret returns with the start of Season 2, and hosts Rob Cesternino, Chappell, and Brian Scally are ready to dive into the first three episodes of gameplay. As fourteen new contestants check in at the Stag and face a fresh set of challenges, the trio discusses everything from early strategy stumbles to entertaining cast dynamics. This first batch of episodes introduces new faces, familiar catchphrases, and a game full of secrets—and it doesn't take long for things to get social and chaotic. The episode dives straight into how new players handle the pressure of the million-dollar briefcase. Rob Cesternino questions the risk of taking on millionaire missions, with Chappell and Brian Scally dissecting why some opt out and how clues narrow suspicious eyes. The group relives the saga of Alti, whose repeated use of “no cap” paints a target on his back, while strategic slip-ups from others stir early conflict. Dynamics shift quickly, with alliances forming, showmances budding, and strong personalities—like Daisy and Natalie—standing out as both social threats and lightning rods for drama. The trio also breaks down iconic missions (from hats to handstands) and the complicated dance of sharing or hiding clues, paying close attention to when players choose to blend in—or stand out. Highlights from this discussion include: The struggles of Alti's “no cap” agenda and how obvious secret missions put contestants at risk. Players debating whether to complete a risky millionaire task or play it safe, and what happens when clues get too revealing. Daisy's memorable confrontations and her mix of warmth and willingness to go toe-to-toe when challenged. Strategic conversations around when to share clues, build alliances, or keep information close. The social fallout from game moves—like the Lauren T. handstand controversy and Caleb's suspicious hat-sharing strategy. With early gameplay revealing both strategic innovation and chaotic moves, Million Dollar Secret Season 2 already has the stag buzzing with alliances, suspicion, and laugh-out-loud moments. How will Nick handle being in the hot seat, and what happens now that double kill shots loom? Don't miss the full episode for inside takes on cast moves, clue management, and the unique strategy twists defining Million Dollar Secret's new season.
