Podcasts about Cuba

1. Oil Prices & National Security Lower global oil prices weaken hostile regimes like Iran, Russia, and Venezuela by reducing their revenue. The Trump administration aims for a “sweet spot” oil price ($60–$70/barrel): Low enough to hurt adversaries. High enough to avoid bankrupting U.S. independent oil producers. If prices drop into the $40s, it could collapse small oil producers in Texas and the Permian Basin. 2. Venezuela’s Oil Infrastructure Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but decades of mismanagement have destroyed its infrastructure. Estimates from oil executives: Increasing production from 1 million to 3 million barrels/day could take 10 years and require $100B+ in investment. Even going from 1 million to 2 million/day would take 5–7 years. Gulf Coast refineries can process Venezuela’s heavy sour crude, but expanded imports would mostly affect Canada and Mexico, not U.S. light-sweet crude producers. 3. Cuba’s Economic Crisis Cuba historically survived on financial support from: The Soviet Union (until its collapse). Venezuela under Chávez/Maduro (oil and money). With Venezuela no longer able to support Cuba, the island is in economic freefall. Mexico is currently providing oil that helps sustain the Cuban regime. The Trump administration may pressure Mexico to cut this supply, potentially pushing Cuba toward political collapse. 4. Jack Smith & January 6th Investigation Smith is accused of leading a politically motivated prosecution against Donald Trump. He allegedly relied on questionable or disproven testimony, notably from Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson’s dramatic claims (e.g., Trump lunging for a steering wheel) were not confirmed by eyewitnesses. Jim Jordan challenged Smith in hearings, accusing him of: Using unreliable witnesses. Conducting a partisan, anti-Trump investigation. Targeting large numbers of Republicans with subpoenas. 5. Crime Statistics & Trump Administration Policies Nationwide murder rates reportedly declined ~20% from 2024 to 2025. Approx. 1,400 fewer murders. Major cities showing decreases: Chicago: 30% NYC: 20% Baltimore: 31% Oakland: 33% Washington, D.C.: 31% (after National Guard deployment) Other violent crimes also declined: Motor vehicle theft: ↓25% Robbery: ↓18% Aggravated assault: ↓8% Law enforcement stats cited: Violent crime arrests: ↑100% Gangs disrupted: ↑210% Fentanyl seized: ↑31% Missing/abducted children located: ↑22% Human traffickers arrested: ↑15% Significant increase in arrests of espionage suspects and fugitives.

San Francisco's doom loop deepens as LA gangs now control homeless encampments, marking new lows in urban dysfunction.SEGMENT 2: NEWSOM'S 2028 PRESIDENTIAL AMBITIONS Guest: Jeff Bliss (Pacific Watch) Bliss examines Governor Gavin Newsom positioning for a 2028 presidential run through public sparring with Trump. Despite national media attention from these confrontations, Newsom faces weak approval ratings within California where residents experience firsthand the failures his administration struggles to address or explain away.SEGMENT 3: LISA COOK CASE DRAWS FED GIANTS TO SCOTUS Guest: Richard Epstein Epstein analyzes oral arguments in the Lisa Cook case with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and former Chair Ben Bernanke attending the Supreme Court proceedings. Discussion examines the legal questions at stake, implications for Federal Reserve independence and appointments, and why this case attracted such extraordinary central banking attention.SEGMENT 4: GREENLAND TARIFFS LACK LEGAL FOUNDATION Guest: Richard Epstein Epstein argues Trump's tariff threats over Greenland lack constitutional justification, representing neither genuine emergency nor legitimate tool to punish nations disagreeing with American territorial claims. Discussion covers executive overreach on trade policy, legal vulnerabilities of using economic coercion for diplomatic leverage, and likely judicial constraints ahead.SEG 5 BATCHELOR POD 012326.mp3MP3SEG 6 BATCHELOR POD 012326.mp3MP3SEG 7 BATCHELOR POD 012326.mp3MP3SEGMENT 5: ITALY'S WINTER OLYMPICS FACE SNOW CRISIS Guest: Lorenzo Fiori and Jeff Bliss Fiori and Bliss report on Cyclone Harry striking Italy while the eastern Alps suffer inadequate snowfall threatening upcoming Winter Olympics venues.

Nancy Pelosi and Daniel Moynihan protested these arrangements, but the pact enriching American elites at China's service was firmly established.SEGMENT 10: NIXON, KISSINGER, AND MAO'S MURDEROUS REGIME Guest: Lee Smith Smith examines how Nixon and Kissinger flattered and empowered Mao in 1972 despite his murderous record. Tiananmen Square proved the regime's brutality, yet American leaders ushered China into the WTO anyway, prioritizing riches over human rights and enabling Beijing's rise to global economic dominance.SEGMENT 11: FEINSTEIN AND BLUM'S SHANGHAI CONNECTIONS Guest: Lee Smith Smith details how San Francisco Mayor Diane Feinstein and husband Richard Blum cultivated relationships with Shanghai's mayor and later Tiananmen dictator Deng Xiaoping, becoming apologists for the regime. These connections exemplify how American political figures enriched themselves while providing cover for China's authoritarian government.SEGMENT 12: TRUMP AIMS TO END THE CHINA LOBBY Guest: Lee Smith Smith argues China operates as marauder, thief, and killer, wrecking world trade and undermining American manufacturing while enriching the China lobby Trump calls "globalists." The Trump administration learned not to trust Xi Jinping after COVID lies shattered any remaining confidence, signaling determination to dismantle this corrupt arrangement.LL SEPARATE FILES.

Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: Escalation: From General Walker to New OrleansSummary: In April 1963, a shaken Lee confessed to Marina that he had attempted to shoot General Edwin Walker. Following this, Lee moved to New Orleans to manufacture credentials as a pro-Castro radical, hoping to manipulate his way into obtaining visas for Cuba and the Soviet Union.Article: On the night of April 10, 1963, Lee returned home visibly agitated and confessed to Marina that he had fired a shot at General Edwin Walker, a planned assassination attempt that Marina kept secret to her later regret. Following this event, Lee moved to New Orleans to establish himself as a pro-Castro radical, hoping to use these fabricated credentials to secure a visa for Cuba and the Soviet Union, though his focus remained on international travel rather than a plot against Kennedy at that time.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers a mix of strong domestic economic news and mounting national security concerns as the country heads into the weekend. He begins with good news at home, as murder rates fall to their lowest level on record, American-born truckers see rising wages after foreign drivers are removed from U.S. highways, and major manufacturers like GM shift production back from China and Mexico to the United States. Economic growth is revised higher, signaling momentum heading into 2026. The mood then turns more serious with warnings about TikTok's unresolved ties to Chinese control, the failure to revive the China Initiative to counter espionage, and growing concern over Chinese ownership of American food brands and farmland. Bryan also covers escalating clashes in Minnesota as Democrats continue to resist ICE enforcement, a judge blocks charges against Don Lemon for his role in an attack on a Christian church, and the White House signals a major shift by authorizing ICE to use administrative warrants to enter homes of illegal aliens. Globally, the episode tracks Trump's push toward regime change in Cuba, the possible withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria amid ISIS prison breaks, the launch of Trump's new Board of Peace that could sideline the United Nations, and promising medical research showing red light therapy may prevent or reduce traumatic brain injury and CTE.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 23 2026 Wright Report, murder rate lowest on record, American trucker wages rise foreign drivers removed, GM reshoring from China Mexico, TikTok China ByteDance control, China Initiative failure espionage, Nathan's Famous Smithfield China, Minnesota ICE resistance Don Lemon judge, administrative warrants ICE homes, Cuba regime change Trump, Syria U.S. troop withdrawal ISIS prisons, Board of Peace Trump UN bypass, red light therapy CTE brain injury

Following the president's intervention in Venezuela, the Trump administration is escalating threats against several sovereign nations. Now, Cuba is set to lose access to one of its main suppliers of oil, adding pressure to its increasing energy shortage and an already struggling economy. This morning, we'll discuss with the BBC's Will Grant. Plus, President Donald Trump's pivot on Greenland was well-received on Wall Street, and renter affordability is improving.

Is there a chance we could actually see regime change in Cuba? If reports are to be believed, it could possibly happen this year. Plus, Davos is always a disaster, mostly because it makes progressives look nuttier than usual.

On the next Charlotte Talks, Donald Trump appears to be sharpening his sword. Earlier this month, the United States conducted a large-scale strike against Venezuela, capturing their president. Trump has threatened Iran and Cuba, and he's said he'll take Greenland one way or another. Plus, he's spoken of plans to send our military to an American city — Minneapolis. No matter what you think about this, North Carolina stands to profit, and so does Charlotte.

Ethnomusicologist Robin Moore joins Rebecca to discuss the subject of his forthcoming book, Violín: Mediating Musical Style and Devotional Practice in 21st-Century Cuba. As music used to accompany ceremonies for the ancestors and orishas, violines have been growing in recent decades in Cuba, and are an example of an increasingly hybrid musical approach to worship in Cuba. Songs played (all by Orquesta Estrellas Cubanas except where noted):Ave MariaPlegaria a ObbataláTwo versions of Sea El Santísimo - second one by Ifa Fore & Pepe y Sus TamboresDanzón Virgen de ReglaOchímini IISend us a textSupport the showYou can support this independently produced podcast by becoming a monthly subscriber - even $3/month helps!If you like this podcast, please hit "Follow" and give us a 5-star rating on Apple PodcastsFind The Clave Chronicles on Instagram, Facebook, & Threads @clavechronicleshttps://theclavechronicles.buzzsprout.comIntro and outro music: "Bengo Latino," Jimmy Fontanez/Media Right Productions

He offers an insider's perspective on Venezuela's transition of power to Delcy Rodríguez, China's influence on the Panama Canal, and the collapse of traditional American diplomacy in the Western Hemisphere.

Un llamado honesto y profundamente evangélico a vivir un amor que no finge, que no niega el dolor y que solo puede sostenerse cuando miramos a Cristo. En Romanos 12, el evangelio baja al terreno de lo cotidiano y nos confronta con una pregunta inevitable: ¿cómo amar cuando amar cuesta?

Faedah Totah is a walker. So when she traveled to Damascus, Syria in the 2000's, she ditched the car and sauntered the streets to really take in the beauty of the old city. She soon came across a neighborhood that sparked her forthcoming book, Palestinian Refugees in the Old City of Damascus. Also: The report card is out for America's stormwater infrastructure. Spoiler alert: it's a grade that probably would've gotten us all grounded by our parents. Tanjina Afrin explains where America is failing and why effective stormwater management is such an important but largely forgotten public amenity. Later in the show: As the Cold War drew to a close in the 1990s, the Hispanic Caribbean was rocked by what Elena Valdez calls “crisis moments.” She says these “crisis moments” sparked important changes in representations of sexuality and gender in the public sphere - especially in the urban spaces of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.

We visit with Cato Institute Health Policy Director Michael Cannon about the health insurance proposal to be included in the spending bills in Congress.

Access this and past shows at your convenience on my web site, social media platforms or podcast platforms.

This week's show features stories from France 24, Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba, and NHK Japan. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr260123.mp3 (29:00) From FRANCE- Starting with 3 press reviews about the WEF held in Davos Switzerland, clearly the biggest international news item. Trump's words, insults, and threats, followed by his slight retraction on Greenland, has clearly damaged the relationship between the US and Europe. Trump was ridiculed in much of the press, not unlike his ridicule of other world leaders. Press on the Israeli crackdown on the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, including bulldozing the UN buildings in occupied Palestine. Oxfam released its annual report on wealth and poverty on Monday, pointing out that billionaires are accelerating the inequality gap. From GERMANY- Trump presented his proposed Board of Peace in Davos. It was to be a way to fix the crisis in destroyed Gaza, but has become what many suggest is an attempt at replacing the United Nations. He invited dozens of countries to sit on the board, which he is the lifetime chairman of the board, and Europe is by and large repulsed by it. An interview with Heba Aly, journalist and director of the United Nations Reform Coalition. She has worked for years to redirect the UN into becoming more effective at achieving its goals. From CUBA- Venezuelans continue to denounce the US invasion and kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife. From JAPAN- At the beginning of the week the EU was considering putting over $100 million in tariffs on the US in response to tariffs Trump threatened on EU countries defending Greenland. A just restarted nuclear power plant in central Japan was shutdown due to a malfunction during start up. Nepal will have a general election in March, and young voters in Gen-Z intend to create candidates and change, focused on ending corruption.

Mexico is the United States' number one trading partner — yet it's sending fuel to Cuba, a communist dictatorship under U.S. sanctions. In this investigative breakdown, Kelsi Sheren exposes how Mexican taxpayer money, state-owned oil company Pemex, and quiet geopolitical shifts are propping up the Cuban regime after Venezuela's collapse. This isn't humanitarian aid. It's power, energy, and influence — and it raises a serious question: whose side is Mexico really on?Chapters00:00 Introduction and Overview of Current Events01:29 Cuba's Energy Crisis and Mexico's Role04:44 The Implications of Mexico's Support for Cuba09:00 The Balance of Power in the Western Hemisphere11:13 Conclusion and Future Considerations - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok -   https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

La gracia de Dios no solo nos salva; nos ubica, nos forma y nos integra en algo mucho más grande que nosotros mismos. En Romanos 12 descubrimos por qué la vida cristiana no se vive desde el ego ni desde la culpa, sino desde una adoración que se expresa en humildad, servicio y comunidad.

Five-time Grammy winner Michael League sits down with Steve Roby to discuss his groundbreaking residency at SF Jazz Center—a five-night exploration that shatters the "one-band" label and reveals the full spectrum of his creative life.Best known as the founder of Snarky Puppy, League has spent his career defying categorization. In this conversation, he opens up about why he's never been content being "Mr. Snarky Puppy," his evolution from band leader to curator and "designated hitter," and how his residency format challenges audiences to see musicians as the multidimensional artists they truly are. Episode Highlights:The Power of DiversityLeague discusses how his residency brings together musicians from Mexico, Cuba, Turkey, Macedonia, the UK, Brooklyn, and North Carolina—a powerful statement in 2026 about the vital role immigrants and people of color play in American music culture. Ellipsis: The Frankenstein AlbumHear the fascinating story behind "Obbakoso" and the Ellipsis collaboration with Antonio Sánchez and Pedrito Martinez—an album created entirely backwards, where improvisation came first and composition followed. Looking Back at LingusLeague reflects on Snarky Puppy's breakthrough track with refreshing honesty, comparing it to "looking at college photos" while acknowledging how it opened doors to the deeper, more nuanced work the band creates today. The Future is CurationWhy League sees his future less as a frontman and more as a facilitator, curator, and bass player at heart—someone who thrives supporting others and creating "unique, bespoke musical experiences." Breaking Down the ProsceniumThe value of listening parties and soundcheck conversations, where artists and audiences meet on equal ground, without the barrier of performance expectations. Featured Music:"Obbakoso" from Ellipsis on GroundUp Music (Michael League, Antonio Sánchez, Pedrito Martínez)"Lingus (We Like It Here)" on GroundUp Music, by Snarky Puppy All songs used with the artist's permission.Relevant Links:SF Jazz Residency Information:SF Jazz Center – January 29–February 1, 2026Michael League:GroundUP MusicSnarky Puppy OfficialFeatured Artists:Bill LauranceAntonio SánchezPedrito MartinezCorey HenryBecca StevensBackstage Bay Area is hosted by Steve Roby

The remains of Cuban soldiers return to Cuba. Don Lemon proves how intimately involved he was in the Minnesota church protest. Will the Trump Department of Justice actually prosecute those who disrupted a church service on Sunday? One liberal after another spews murderous desires against federal agents. Liberals are now singing at Target. It's Racism Season against whites, apparently. President Trump wildly applauded at last night's national championship game. Oprah Winfrey discusses the "fat gene." Mexico is apparently planning to reclaim territory inside the U.S. The latest regarding U.S. attempts to acquire Greenland.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Maduro wasn't just another authoritarian leader clinging to power. He was a key player in a network that tied together hostile regimes and adversarial powers — Russia, China, Iran, and Cuba all had stakes in keeping him in place. Removing him didn't just destabilize Venezuela's dictatorship; it weakened an entire web of influence in the Western Hemisphere...

Los temas del "cafecito informativo" de este martes 20 de enero de 2026: "Gusano", el insulto que se volvió elogio en Cuba Ante la crisis energética, Cuba busca petróleo en África Amnistía Internacional exige al régimen cubano la liberación de los presos políticos Proyección de ‘La otra Cuba'

1. Role of Popular Uprising Millions of Iranians are described as actively protesting against the ruling clerical regime. The movement is portrayed as organic, domestic, and secular, not Islamist or anti‑Western. Economic collapse is identified as the primary catalyst rather than a single political trigger. Protesters are framed as the legitimate engine of change, with the U.S. positioned as a supporter rather than the instigator. 2. Economic Collapse as a Destabilizer Hyperinflation and currency collapse (rial exceeding 1,000,000 to the dollar) have crippled daily life. Bazaar closures, labor strikes (notably in energy), and widespread shortages are presented as systemic stressors. Low global oil prices weaken Iran’s primary revenue source, limiting the regime’s ability to fund repression and foreign proxies. 3. U.S. Policy Contrast: Trump vs. Obama/Biden There is a sharp contrast between: Obama/Biden: Characterized as conciliatory, passive, and supportive of engagement (e.g., Iran nuclear deal). Trump: Portrayed as deterrence‑focused, confrontational, and openly supportive of regime change. Trump’s public endorsement of a “new government” in Iran is framed as unprecedented and strategically consequential. 4. Deterrence Without Occupation We reject a large‑scale military invasion. Instead, we support: Targeted military strikes (e.g., nuclear facilities, IRGC leadership) Covert operations Clear deterrent threats against mass repression The killing of Qasem Soleimani is highlighted as a key inflection point that shattered regime confidence. 5. Iran’s Strategic Weakness Iran’s air defenses and regional influence are described as severely degraded. Hezbollah, Hamas, and other proxies have been decapitated or weakened. The regime is increasingly isolated as allies (Venezuela, Syria, Russia) face their own crises. 6. Internal Regime Fractures The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is portrayed as a potential kingmaker or coup actor. The text suggests the IRGC: Controls vast economic assets Is deeply unpopular with the public May abandon the clerical leadership to preserve its own power A coup becomes likely if U.S. pressure and labor strikes converge. 7. Information Control and Fear Internet shutdowns and communication blackouts are signs of regime panic. Supreme Leader Khamenei fears internal reform more than outright confrontation, drawing parallels to Soviet collapse. 9. Broader Geopolitical Context Iran’s situation is linked to potential domino effects in Venezuela and Cuba. Energy independence and low oil prices are framed as key U.S. national security tools. The moment is compared to the fall of the Berlin Wall, suggesting a possible systemic collapse of authoritarian regimes without U.S. ground wars. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the Iranian people desire freedom amid starvation and lack of water under a fundamentalist Islamic regime that spreads terrorism, including attempts to assassinate President Trump, and must be destroyed to prevent further threats, as either terrorists are killed or they kill others. Eliminating this regime aligns with U.S. national security interests, benefiting allies by impacting China, Russia, and Venezuela, without aiming to install democracy but occasionally aiding others when it serves mutual goals, countering the mindset of inaction. The young people in Iran are freedom fighters battling a genocidal regime and abandoning them worsens global threats like those from communist China, ultimately harming the United States. Regimes such as Iran, China, Cuba, and North Korea are fascistic feudal systems masquerading as people's revolutions, fueled by fraudulent ideologies like Marxism, socialism, and communism. There's a noticeable absence of U.S. protests by Marxist-Islamists and woke neo-fascists in support of the thousands slaughtered in Iran, despite their professed concern for rights. Also, the war on ICE is a war on American citizens, driven by illegal aliens who claim rights to residency, welfare benefits, tax subsidies, and jobs while refusing to leave.
