In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we're joined by Jeff Vonvai, known on trail as Long Strides. This conversation will put life's problems into perspective—because for the past seven years, Long Strides has been thru-hiking with stage 4 colon cancer, despite being given just a 3–6 month prognosis. Jeff shares what it's like to balance intense rounds of chemo and surgery between hikes, the challenges of rebuilding his trail legs each time he returns to the trail, and how cancer has transformed his outlook on life—saying he's happier now than he was before his diagnosis. Be ready to feel inspired. We wrap the show with the news that the Continental Divide Trail's southern terminus now requires U.S. citizenship and an Army-issued permit, how to hike the Colorado Trail on less than $800, what crime Chaunce committed to wind up in prison, and the triple crown of things that make us cringe.

Today, we have a guest who holds no punches and takes no prisoners—someone who's built his career and life on hard work, resilience, and straight talk.Joining us is Dennis Mark Interdonato, a New Jersey real estate expert, Army veteran, and former Drill Sergeant. With over 25 years of experience in home building, remodeling, and marketing, he's not just selling homes—he's helping people navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives.But Dennis's story is about more than real estate. He's a bipolar depression warrior, choosing to face it head-on without medication. He's also an MC club rider, an advocate for community and charity, and a man who values family above all else—especially his five-year-old niece, Gemma Mae, who keeps him grounded.In today's conversation, we'll dive into: ✅ What every homebuyer and seller needs to know in today's market ✅ How military service and the MC world shaped Dennis's mindset ✅ Navigating mental health and resilience without medication ✅ The importance of community, charity, and family in business and lifeChapters00:00 Introduction to Dennis Mark Interdonato01:26 The Army Experience and Its Impact04:51 Transitioning from Army to Real Estate06:25 Misconceptions in Real Estate08:40 Rent Control: Pros and Cons10:44 The Impact of Property Taxes12:57 Effects of Taxes on Homeowners and Renters15:35 Current Real Estate Market Trends16:50 The Role of AI in Real Estate20:38 Family Values and Work Ethic24:04 The Influence of Family on Personal Growth25:17 The Joy of Family and Children28:06 Lessons from Dad: The Importance of Listening30:56 The Art of Listening in High-Stress Situations34:47 Navigating Mental Health Without Medication40:47 Finding Your Why: A Path to Healing45:21 Real Estate Insights: Choosing the Right Agent56:35 Closing Thoughts: Grit, Heart, and Unfiltered TruthFor listeners who want to connect with Dennis:
Pre-order a copy of Daniella Mestyanek Young's book, The Culting of America, here: https://amzn.to/3JC1IHD✖️✖️✖️Daniella was born a third-generation member of the infamous Children of God religious cult, and grew up being trafficked around the world, before escaping that life and moving to America at age 15. She put herself through high school and graduated as college valedictorian before commissioning into the US Army as an intelligence officer. That's where she really started to think about group behavior…and seeing it, well, everywhere.Daniella deployed twice to Afghanistan (2011, 2014) and became a member of one of the Army's first Female Engagement teams (an experiment that put women into deliberate ground combat for the first time in Army history, and eventually led to the repeal of the sexist combat ban and the gender desegregation of the entire US military).She is a proud daughter of the 101st, (that's the unit in Band of Brothers), and a recipient of the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (from Obama, y'all). She earned her Master of Arts in Organizational Psychology at the Harvard Extension School, where she focused her research on group behavior, social norms, culture, extremism, leadership, demagoguery and cults.✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

Our guest this week recently published an opinion piece criticizing how the Army undermines its health and fitness efforts through the poor nutrition environments on its installations. We dive into that conversation, looking at both the problems with Army nutrition, and the many ways leaders are working to fix them.MAJ Christina Deehl is a Registered Dietitian from Army's Medical Center of Excellence where she works in the Directorate of Training and Doctrine. Her recent op ed stirred up a lot of conversation about the gap between what Army leads aspire to in the nutrition domain of H2F and the actual food environments on our installations.Christina has 16 years of active duty service, including time with H2F at the 101st and XVIII ABC, serving as the command performance dietitian for US Army Special Operations Command, a fellowship with the Olympic Committee, clinical time at a couple hospitals, and two stints as a cultural support team leader.Around the time we recorded, research by a team she was on was also published: Normative fat-free mass index values based on body composition method in Army personnelOther references from the conversation:DA PAM 30-22 AR 30-22 Fixing the Randolph Sheppard ActGAO Report: Food Program:DOD Should Formalize Its Process for Revising Food Ingredients and Better Track Dining Facility Use and CostsGAO Report: DOD Food Program:Additional Actions Needed to Implement, Oversee, and Evaluate Nutrition Efforts for Service Members

Shooting Range Hearing Protection Guide The discussion focused on hearing protection at shooting ranges, where the professor emphasized that earplugs alone are insufficient due to bone-conductive noise, and recommended using both earplugs and muffs, particularly the Walker Razor electronic muffs. Jarrad inquired about shoulder and cheek weld issues with large muffs, and the professor confirmed that smaller electronic muffs like the Walker Razors work well for shooting. OEG Vision and Shooting Accuracy The meeting focused on discussing vision issues and their impact on shooting accuracy, particularly with the use of an occluded eye gun sight (OEG) and prescription glasses. The Professor shared his research findings and experiments conducted with students, demonstrating how the OEG can improve accuracy for shooters with different vision conditions. Jarrad and Zach participated in the discussion, sharing their personal experiences with the OEG and its effectiveness.

Listen to this episode commercial free at https://angryplanetpod.comThis week on Angry Planet we have returning guest and former judge advocate Dan Maurer. The last time he was on the show, Maurer walked us through the consequences of a Supreme Court ruling that asked the question: is it illegal for the President to order SEAL Team Six to kill people? It was a surreal question that now feels more pressing.A US Carrier Strike Group is moving into South American waters to support America's highly kinetic War on Drugs. Military lawyers might have advised the Trump administration that extra-judiciously executing alleged criminals in international waters is, in fact, illegal. But Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is no fan of military lawyers and fired the Judge Advocate General (JAG) of both the Army and the Air Force. The Pentagon plans to turn as many as 600 of the remaining military lawyers into immigration judges.The second Trump administration is perverting the law and sidelining anyone that might tell them it's a bad idea. Since he was last on the show, Maurer has retired from the Army and is now a professor at Ohio Northern University's college of law. He's here to tell us how bad things are and how much worse they might get.The terminal parent metaphorA story that only ends one wayWhat's a JAG?Hegseth's JAG hateLaw as perversionAre these strikes legal? “No.”“It can be lawful, but not moral.”Legally speaking, you can't be a combatant and a criminal.When Truman tried to take over the steel industry.Can state authorities arrest the feds?Life after Trump timeAre Military Lawyers Being Sidelined?Defining ‘Rebellion' in 10 U.S.C. § 12406 and the Insurrection ActOn Treason and Traitors“Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here.”Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/warcollege.

This week we celebrate Halloween by throwing Wally's 16-year-old son into the wild, chainsaw-swinging, one-liner-spouting madness that is Army of Darkness!

From Blytheville to the battlefield to holistic healing, Dr. Jen Calvert's story is one of grit, faith, and transformation. Told she couldn't handle the Army because she “liked her hair and makeup too much,” Jen enlisted anyway—serving as a lab specialist and combat medic and learning that the military is more than discipline; it's family. After facing a life-changing neck injury, thyroid issues, and deep personal loss, Jen's search for healing led her toward a holistic approach that integrates body, mind, and spirit. Now, as the owner of Heal Thyself Emporium in Paragould, she helps others discover the same wholeness she's found through experience, study, and faith. Join us for an honest and hopeful conversation about pain, purpose, and the God who meets us in both.

Happy Halloween!Evil Dead II was not the sequel to The Evil Dead that Sam Raimi intended. With a bigger budget, and more experience, he essentially remade the first film with a comedic twist. Released in 1987, Evil Dead II became the perfect bridge between horror and comedy.Ash Williams transforms from every man survivor to wisecracking action hero. Campbell's physical comedy is next-level; the guy gets beaten up by his own possessed hand. His performance became so iconic, it launched an entire franchise and Ash as a cult hero. Practical effects, makeup, and prosthetics created some truly memorable (and gross) moments.Evil Dead II helped define the horror-comedy genre and influenced countless filmmakers. It became a cult classic that's still celebrated decades later, leading to Army of Darkness and eventually the Ash vs Evil Dead TV series. Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi became legends in genre filmmaking.Evil Dead II proved you could be terrifying and hilarious at the same time. It's a masterclass in creative filmmaking on a budget, and proof that sometimes the best sequels are the ones that aren't afraid to reinvent themselves.Groovy.I would love to hear your thoughts on Evil Dead II !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

We're joined by Daniella Mestyanek Young, the author of Uncultured. She was born a third generation member of an influential family, within The Family International, better known as the Children of God cult. She escaped at fifteen, put herself through school, and graduated from college as valedictorian. Daniella joined the Army, became Captain, and she received the Presidential Volunteer Service Award. She was an Intelligence Officer in one of the Army's first Female Engagement Teams. In two tours and six years, she saw patterns in the military that were just like her experiences in the Children of God. Here are Daniella's 10 characteristics of a cult that we talk about: 1. Has a charismatic leader (and a skinny white woman) 2. A sacred assumption 3. The transcendental mission 4. Self-sacrifice of members 5. Limits access to the outside world 6. Distinguishable vernacular 7. Us versus them mentality 8. Exploits members' labor 9. High exit costs 10. Ends justify the means mentality Find Daniella online: https://twitter.com/daniellamyoung https://www.instagram.com/daniellamyoung_ https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellamestyanekyoung By Daniella's book UnCULTured https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781250280114 We're also excited to announce that our long promised merch is here!!

The Strategic Veteran was founded by Adam Peters. After 13 years of active-duty service in the U.S. Army, Adam found the transition to civilian life full of pitfalls, untrustworthy "gurus", and of course, thousands of courses and communities promising everything under the sun. Adam's goal for The Strategic Veteran is to ensuremilitary transition to civilian life is smooth and frictionless as possible. Helping to curb veteran suicide is the ultimate purpose that goes far beyondbusiness. We're here for you. Veterans of all walks of life.

Dr. DeZee's insights shed light on the dedication required to thrive in this field, ensuring that military medical professionals are not only well-trained but passionate about delivering exceptional care. This episode underscores the commitment of military trainers to their trainees and the freedom for medical officers to pursue their chosen specialties. Whether you're a medical student, a seasoned professional, or just fascinated by military medicine, this episode offers a wealth of information and inspiration. Tune in to uncover the dedication and passion that drive military medical professionals to provide exceptional care. Chapters: (00:04) Evolution of Military Graduate Medical Education (15:00) Military GME Training and Opportunities (28:51) Military Medicine Postgraduate Training Opportunities (35:35) Military Medical Career Pathways (40:14) Maximizing Success in Military Medical Careers (52:50) Military Graduate Medical Education Opportunities Chapter Summaries: (00:04) Evolution of Military Graduate Medical Education Join us for an insightful conversation with Army Colonel Dr. Kent DeZee, the Director of Graduate Medical Education for the Defense Health Agency. We explore the evolution of military graduate medical education (GME) programs and discuss the residency match process and unique aspects of training military physicians. Dr. DeZee addresses common concerns regarding deployment and training opportunities during residency and highlights the roles of general medical officers. He also provides advice for medical students looking to enhance their competitiveness for GME applications. Emphasizing the importance of leadership and clinical experience, Dr. DeZee outlines how these elements are crucial in shaping future military medical professionals. Additionally, we look into the changes brought about by the formation of the Defense Health Agency and how it has centralized the administration of military hospitals to better facilitate GME training across branches. (15:00) Military GME Training and Opportunities Dr. DeZee provides an insightful exploration into the nuances of the military's Graduate Medical Education (GME) system, specifically focusing on civilian deferred training and the differences in GME offerings across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. We explain how civilian deferred training allows students to complete their residency without military obligation, returning to fulfill their service commitment afterward. Additionally, we examine the similarities and distinctions in specialty and fellowship opportunities among the three services, highlighting that while core specialties are consistently available, certain niche fields may not be offered every year. We also discuss the limitations of applying across different service branches for residency, except in special circumstances like joint domicile or compelling family needs. Finally, we touch on the process during the GME selection board where unfilled positions in one service might potentially be offered to another, ensuring optimal utilization of training slots. (28:51) Military Medicine Postgraduate Training Opportunities We explore the various scenarios for medical professionals navigating the residency match process, particularly focusing on those who have completed or are considering a transitional year program. We discuss the eligibility of transitional year residents to re-enter the match and how their performance might offer a slight advantage over medical students who haven't completed such a year. Additionally, we examine the options available for medical students who aren't matched with their preferred internship, such as transitioning into a preliminary surgical year or pursuing a general medical officer (GMO) role. The nuances of how different specialties view a transitional year are also covered, with particular emphasis on which rotations may count towards graduation requirements for certain boards. Furthermore, we address the differences in how the Army, Air Force, and Navy utilize GMO tours within overall Graduate Medical Education (GME) training pathways. (35:35) Military Medical Career Pathways Dr. DeZee describes the journey of becoming a General Medical Officer (GMO) in the military, highlighting the additional training required for various roles, such as flight surgeon or undersea medicine. We discuss the mentoring process within a flight unit and the evaluation called a Focused Practice Review to ensure safe medical practice. For those interested in long-term service, options like aerospace medicine residencies are available. The Navy's new program, which allows a seamless transition back to residency after a GMO tour, is also highlighted. Additionally, I touch upon the flexibility for those who decide a particular residency is not for them, detailing the process for resigning and re-competing for a different specialty without it being viewed negatively, as long as professional standards are maintained. (40:14) Maximizing Success in Military Medical Careers We cover the critical decisions and requirements for medical professionals in a DHA Graduate Medical Education (GME) program, focusing on the nuances of resignation and training progression. We emphasize the irreversible nature of resigning from the program and the transition to becoming a general medical officer. I also address the integration of military education with medical residency, highlighting the importance of completing the Officer Basic Course before or during residency. For medical students aspiring to be competitive in the selection board, I offer advice on enhancing their profiles through clinical rotations, leadership roles, and research involvement. Being well-prepared for specialty rotations, demonstrating leadership potential, and achieving strong academic performance are key factors in securing a successful career as a medical corps officer. (52:50) Military Graduate Medical Education Opportunities Dr. DeZee encourages exploring the details of Army Internal Medicine programs through the DHA website, highlighting the ease of access and the wealth of information available without any commitment. We emphasize the dedication of program coordinators like Michelle Valdez and Michael Simons in developing this resource, which aids in understanding the local environment and the training of medical corps officers. Reflecting on personal experiences, such as undergoing surgery at Walter Reed, underscores the importance of excellent training programs for military medical professionals. I stress the significance of training residents who may one day provide care to us or our loved ones, highlighting the personal investment of trainers in their trainees' success. We also clarify that while the military does not force specialties on medical officers, the option to pursue one's desired field remains open, ensuring that medical professionals are passionate and committed to their chosen paths.

Allyn Hinton, Marine and Army aviator, joins So There I Was for a wild, first-person tour from low-level Huey recons over Da Nang to Blackhawks in Desert Storm. In this Allyn Hinton interview, he relives a smoke-grenade surprise that flushed eight guys from a bunker, a foot chase through a dry rice paddy, and a med-evac detour that out-prioritized a Korean officers' trip to LZ-3! Then we leap to carrier quals, C-130 world travel, and the only thing harder than hovering: trying not to laugh while catching the “wrong” wire. Along the way, Hinton flies with his son, chauffeurs U.S. senators past oil-well fires, and explains why Marines embraced the “Purple Fox” moniker.

Tommy and Ben discuss President Trump's visit to Asia: the weird dancing, his meetings with the new prime minister of Japan and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and his annoying victory laps when Trump “solves” problems he himself created. They also unpack two recent examples of blatant government corruption, including Trump's pardon of a crypto billionaire and an Army contract to purchase drones from a company “advised” by Donald Trump Jr. Then they discuss the “next generation” of the Pentagon press corps (one filled with MAGA sycophants), a rebel group's capture of a major city in Sudan and how the UAE is fueling the Sudanese civil war, more US strikes against alleged drug traffickers in the Pacific, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's announcement that he has ordered “forceful strikes” on Hamas and what it means for the Gaza ceasefire agreement, a legislative election win for President Javier Milei in Argentina, an anti-tariff ad in Canada that invoked Ronald Reagan, and Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau making their relationship official. Then Tommy speaks with former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul about his new book Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

In this episode, neuroscientist and U.S. Army sleep expert Dr. Allison Brager joins Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Travis Mash to explore the real science behind sleep, recovery, and wearable technology. They discuss which devices actually deliver useful data, such as the Oura Ring for sleep tracking and Garmin for cardiovascular measurements, and why being consistent with one tool is more important than chasing perfect accuracy. Dr. Brager explains how wearables are now being used in place of sleep labs in both clinical and military settings to help athletes and operators make better recovery decisions. The conversation dives into practical ways to improve sleep and recovery for anyone pushing performance limits. Dr. Brager describes how sleep apnea can affect even lean, muscular athletes, with studies showing that more than half of Division I football players meet criteria for sleep apnea or insomnia. Just three nights of only five hours of sleep can cut testosterone levels in half. The group also discusses how vagus nerve stimulation, infrared light therapy, and temperature-controlled mattresses such as Eight Sleep can help the body relax, lower stress, and improve sleep quality, especially when used before bed or after long travel. They close by breaking down real-world strategies for recovery and training. Short 20- to 30-minute naps during the afternoon improve alertness, and caffeine can be used strategically during travel to reduce fatigue. Training is most effective when aligned with the body's circadian rhythm, with evening workouts often producing better strength results, while morning training can work after a few months of adjustment. Whether you are a soldier, athlete, or business leader, this episode is about using data, structure, and recovery habits to perform better and stay healthy over the long term. Outside of the laboratory, Allison was a two-time CrossFit Games (team) athlete, a two-time CrossFit Regionals (individual) athlete, and a four-year varsity NCAA Division I athlete in track and field.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: This story contains subject matter that some may find upsetting. Listener discretion is advised.In the sweltering bayous of southern Louisiana, Dwight “Jerome” Bergeron grew up hard. As a boy, he trapped raccoons, muskrats, and nutria for pocket money, learning survival before he ever learned opportunity. He left school in the 11th grade, trained in plumbing at Vo-Tech, and once dreamed of repairing helicopters in the Army, a dream that died when his recruiter told him his certificate wasn't enough.Instead, Dwight built a life for himself and his children on the bayou. But in the early 1990s, everything changed. His kids were removed from his home and placed with adoptive parents. Soon after, accusations surfaced, claims that Dwight had harmed the very children he loved. There was no physical evidence. Medical exams were inconclusive. But the state had some powerful words from his own children, testimony that was enough to secure his conviction.Dwight was sentenced to life, while his partner Angela, under intense pressure from prosecutors, took a plea deal she said was forced upon her. Both went to prison.Now, decades later, the children, now adults, have spoken. In sworn statements and letters, they insist their father never harmed them, that they were manipulated as kids, and that their testimony was built on lies told to keep them from returning home.Dwight has spent his life behind bars maintaining his innocence, while his children fight to clear his name. Echoes from the Bayou is the story of a man condemned on the word of children, the family torn apart, and the haunting possibility that Louisiana's justice system got it wrong.One Minute Remaining LIVE in Melbourne get your tix now EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HERE Patreon and find us on Facebook here.

CannCon and Ashe in America take on a packed news day in this sharp and often hilarious edition of Badlands Daily. From the legal battles over Trump-appointed prosecutors to a former Army sergeant's treasonous attempt to sell secrets to China, they unpack how corruption and incompetence continue to collide in Washington. The hosts dive into the rise of “democratic socialism,” exposing how corporate power and government collusion have replaced true capitalism in America. They tackle Congress's reversal of Trump's Brazil tariffs, DOJ investigations into Trump allies under “Operation Arctic Frost,” and the suspiciously garbled FBI documents raising questions about AI and declassification. The conversation heats up around Amazon's massive AI layoffs, universal basic income, and the government shutdown threatening SNAP benefits, revealing how dependency and control go hand-in-hand. Equal parts humor and hard truth, this episode cuts through media spin to show how faith, freedom, and discernment are the real countermeasures to globalist chaos.

During the 2025 fight against the mass sell-off of America's public lands, Utah-born cowboy, big game guide, and U.S. Army veteran Braxton McCoy seemed to be everywhere, from his barrage of fiery commentary on X to the Tucker Carlson and Shawn Ryan podcasts, to addressing public meetings across the West. He was the most powerful and tenacious conservative voice of the pro-public lands movement. He hasn't let up, and he never will. Join us for the story of a true American original, a soldier who suffered catastrophic injuries in a suicide bomb attack in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006, and fought successfully to rebuild his body, mind and life. It was a process that took years and the kind of resilience and discipline that few human beings possess. Through it all, from war to hospital bed to hunting elk in the Lost River Range of Idaho, raising four kids with his wife, and writing his harrowing memoir The Glass Factory, Braxton has drawn solace and power from the vast American public lands that he calls his natural home. --- The views and opinions expressed in the Podcast & Blast are those of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers.

Army Chief Technology Officer Alex Miller joined Ryan at a live event to talk about what countering improvised explosive devices taught him about defeating drones, what the Army is learning from the southern border about emerging threats, and what he wants to see from industry. He makes the case for deeper collaboration between companies, sharper focus, and the courage to shut down what no longer works.
Eugene "Big Gene" Bazemore is a 32-year-old Army veteran-turned-super-heavyweight powerlifter who clawed his way from orphan shelters in Hampton Roads, VA to a 2,050-lb raw total and an XPC Arnold Worlds title in barely three seasons on the platform. After military service left a competitive void, Eugene discovered powerlifting through Westside vs The World, self-coached his first meet in 2022, and has been stacking 2K-plus totals—and life lessons—ever since. In this conversation with Dave, Gene breaks down the realities of untested lifting, balancing an elite training schedule with day-to-day life in Marietta, nutrition that fuels 800-lb deadlifts, and why the barbell became the lifeline that kept him out of prison.

Chris Jay, once a touring musician with the rock band Army of Freshmen, found a new creative path when the music industry shifted and opportunities dried up. Instead of giving up, he and his bandmate Aaron Goldberg turned to filmmaking, writing and producing their first feature, The Bet. Without studio backing or formal film education, the duo learned everything from scratch — from writing the screenplay to formatting scripts manually and raising money independently. Their story became a lesson in perseverance, proving that filmmaking success often starts with resourcefulness and a willingness to learn by doing.Despite budget limitations and countless challenges during production, The Bet made it to completion and secured distribution on major platforms like iTunes, Amazon, and cable VOD. Featuring wrestling legend Roddy Piper in one of his final roles, the film stands as a testament to the power of determination and creative problem-solving. For Chris, the project wasn't just about making a movie — it was about proving that great stories can come to life outside of Hollywood when passion, teamwork, and persistence lead the way.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers President Trump's trade breakthroughs in Asia, new peace nominations, Argentina's election victory, France's jewel heist, Gaza's fragile ceasefire, and the rising threat of war in Venezuela. Trump Secures Major Deals in Asia: The President finalized key agreements with China to curb fentanyl exports, purchase American soybeans, and delay rare earth export controls. The two leaders also agreed on a new ownership plan for TikTok. Trump is meeting regional leaders this week as part of a broader push to reassert U.S. influence in Southeast Asia. Thailand and Cambodia Sign Peace Accords: After months of diplomacy, Trump brokered a deal between the two nations that ends their border tensions. Both leaders have nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The White House also announced new tariff cuts on trade with Malaysia and Thailand. Argentina Turns Right: President Javier Milei's sweeping election victory delivered a major win for Trump's foreign policy and a defeat for socialism in South America. The result validates Trump's $40 billion aid gamble and boosts U.S. influence in the region. French Crown Jewels Stolen by Migrants: Two suspects from Paris's migrant suburbs were arrested for the $100 million Louvre jewel heist. The theft has reignited France's immigration debate, with populists calling for deportations and leftists insisting on “inclusive empathy.” Bryan says, “It's not just jewels they stole — it's France's history.” Gaza Ceasefire Under Strain: Hamas continues to withhold bodies of murdered hostages as Trump warns of consequences within 48 hours. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed Western and Arab intelligence stopped a planned massacre of rival Palestinian clans. U.S. Warships Mass Near Venezuela: The USS Gravely and the Gerald Ford Strike Group have entered the Caribbean alongside elite Marine and Army units. Analysts believe Trump may soon order strikes against Venezuela's narco regime or its foreign backers from Russia, Iran, and China. Looking Ahead: Bryan previews stories on China's economic collapse, U.S. military advances in drone warfare, and a $130 million private donation funding American troops during the shutdown. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump China trade deal fentanyl soybeans, Thailand Cambodia peace accord Nobel nomination, Javier Milei Argentina election victory, Louvre jewel heist migrant suspects, Gaza ceasefire Hamas hostages, Venezuela warships USS Gravely Gerald Ford, Trump Venezuela strikes Russia Iran China, U.S. Southeast Asia trade influence
