It's Tuesday, October 7, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian military opened fire on Christians Christian persecution at the hands of Muslim terrorists in Nigeria was tough enough. Now, Truth Nigeria reports that the Nigerian military has opened fire on Christians in the Benue State — this time killing three young men. Ten others sustained life-threatening gunshot wounds and are receiving medical treatment in Jato-Aka. The local chief said, “We no longer need the military in our land. … They have joined Fulani to kill us and take over our land. They have turned their guns against us. … The betrayal is unbearable. Enough is enough. President Tinubu and Governor Alia should hear this message and take immediate action.” Newsweek urges State Dept to declare Nigeria “Country of Particular Concern” Newsweek.com has joined the voices of comedian Bill Maher and others, pointing to the egregious level of Christian killings in Nigeria. The Nigerian government has “categorically” denied that terrorists are waging a systematic genocide against Christians in the country. Newsweek noted that the Trump State Department has thus far failed at making Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern.” Europe's swirling politics France just lost its third prime minister in about a year. Sébastien Lecornu was the latest, and he just resigned yesterday after only 27 days in office. This marks the most instability for the French government in 70 years. France's nationalist, anti-immigration party increased from obtaining 4% of parliamentarian seats in 2008 to 37% in 2024. Germany lost its government earlier this year.  Germany's anti-immigration party is supported by 24% of the country, up from virtually nothing ten years ago.  And Portugal faces instability, still run by a minority government, having completed its third election in three years in May.  Portugal's nationalist party increased from half percent in 2019 to 23% in the 2025 elections. Also, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, and Italy have experienced wide swings in governance — shifting to a nationalist position over the last 5-10 years. Daniel 2:21 reminds us that it is God who “changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.” Cuba sends 5,000 troops to aid Ukraine despite grinding poverty Reuters reports that Cuba is supporting the Ukrainian War now with up to 5,000 troops. The communist country's economy is lagging badly — suffering a four-year decline in its Gross Domestic Product, with another decline forecasted for this year, reports InDepthNews.com. Inflation is running at 28%. The nation has suffered at least five energy blackouts this year so far.  And 89% of the populace suffers from “extreme poverty” according to a recent survey. Seven out of ten Cubans have stopped eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner due to lack of money or food shortages. Only 15% have been able to eat three meals a day without interruption. That compares with the next poorest countries in Central America. Just 16% of Guatemalans  and 27% of folks in Honduras have to deal with these levels of extreme poverty. Supremes consider Trump's tariffs, Hawaii's gun restrictions, &  trans sports As the US Supreme Court reconvenes, the docket holds a slew of cases. They include the legitimacy of the Trump Tariffs, the president's removal of high level administrative bureaucrats, Colorado's ban on counselors helping minors out of homosexual sin, Hawaii's gun restrictions, and bans issued by red states on boys pretending to be girls playing in girls' sports in public schools.  Trump's FDA approve a new Abortion Kill Pill The Trump Administration's Food and Drug Administration approved another abortion kill pill to accommodate the killing of children in their mother's wombs. Last week, the FDA approved Evita Solutions' generic abortion drug for the US market. This is hardly in line with the administration's pledge to “review all the evidence—including real-world outcomes—on the safety of the drug” issued just last month. Ostensibly, the big concern is the health of the mother. The FDA reports 36 deaths attributed to the abortion kill pill thus far, but 7.5 million murdered babies. 63% of the annual abortions committed in the country today are attributed to the abortion kill pill.  Isaiah 29:15-16 speaks to this. The prophet wrote, “Woe to you who hide deep from the Lord your counsel, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?” You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker,  “He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”? Mt. Everest hiker died, 200 others stranded in shock blizzard And finally, one hiker has died and 200 others are still stranded in a shock blizzard on Mount Everest over the weekend. The blizzard took about 1,000 hikers by surprise.  Thus far this year, five people have died on Everest. Last year's total was eight, and 18 others died on the treacherous slopes in 2023. About 800 people attempt to summit the tallest mountain in the world each year.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 2, 2025. 0:30 For decades, Mexico wagged its finger at the U.S., joining Democrats and open-border activists in calling Americans “racist” and “xenophobic” for wanting secure borders. But now the tables have turned. A caravan of over a thousand migrants—Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and more—has set its sights not on Texas, but on Mexico City. We break down the irony: migrants demanding jobs, housing, and welfare in Mexico after years of Mexico enabling caravans to march north through their country. From remittance dollars fueling Mexico’s economy to the cartels profiting from human misery, we explain why Mexico is now paying the price for decades of exporting illegal immigration. 9:55 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Federal Government Shutdown continued today, and may continue through the weekend. The National Guard is helping police arrest dozens of criminals in Memphis, Tennessee. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien accused of human trafficking who was falsely called a Maryland Dad by the media has lost his final appeal in court. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 This week, CNN did something it never seems to do to Democrats: it cut off House Speaker Mike Johnson live on air—right as he was explaining why the government shut down. Johnson was accusing Senate Democrats of rejecting a “clean” continuing resolution and demanding taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants. CNN quickly interrupted him, “fact-checking” the claim in real time and moving back to its New York studio. When was the last time CNN cut off Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi mid-sentence to “correct” them? 16:30 We ask the American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about the leftist who refused to hire a man because he support President Donald Trump. The Mamas to the viral video of the Texas business owner who proudly declared he would never hire a Trump supporter, and they unpack his claims about “resisting oppression,” refusing service, and comparing conservative beliefs to hate speech. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We pull back the curtain on the Hollywood–Wall Street complex — the entertainment elites who believe they can flood your living room with leftist propaganda without consequence. We zero in on Netflix, the streaming giant that's pushing inappropriate, hyper-edgy content and even “grooming” kids with shows aimed at very young audiences. Netflix is losing customers and their stock is plummeting. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the ongoing government shutdown and the real reason behind it that big media doesn’t want you to know. While CNN, MSNBC, and other outlets insist Democrats aren’t pushing healthcare for illegal immigrants, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report tells a very different story. 32:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We respond to Pope Leo XIV’s latest remarks on climate change and his indirect shots at President Trump and the Republican Party. Why has the Vatican has embraced climate alarmism and political rhetoric instead of focusing on faith and scripture? 36:40 The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) passed a resolution calling for more civility in political rhetoric, and that's a Bright Spot. The resolution warns that incendiary language from elected officials and community leaders has fueled violence against law enforcement, government officials, and the public. 40:30 Plus, students gathered for a massive revival at the University of Tennessee that will make you say, "Whoa!"

In this week's Hot Topic of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott tackle the shocking claim made by Donald Trump linking paracetamol (Tylenol) to autism.With humour, rage, and razor-sharp critique, they dismantle the dangerous rhetoric, exposing how misinformation from political leaders fuels stigma, fear, and ableism against autistic and ADHD communities. From debunking pseudoscience to unpacking why terms like “suffering from autism” dehumanise neurodivergent people, this is one of the most important conversations the show has ever hosted.Together, Jordan and Simon discuss:Why Trump's Tylenol-autism claim is scientifically baseless and politically motivatedThe harm of framing autism as an “epidemic” or “disease”How myths about the Amish and Cubans not being autistic are rooted in underreporting, not realityWhy dangerous rhetoric reduces autistic lives to something “worse than death”The role of correlation vs. causation in autism research and why facts matterHow conspiracy-style politics distract from real issues like healthcare, disability rights, and educationWhether you're autistic, ADHD, neurodivergent, or care about truth in public discourse, this fiery episode blends sharp advocacy, science, and satire to call out misinformation at the highest levels of power.Our Sponsors:

On this episode of The South Florida Roundup — whether or not that really is Donald Trump's signature — we examined all the still unanswered questions in the Epstein sex-trafficking atrocity that still traumatizes South Florida [01:20]. We also looked at next week's centennial re-opening of Miami's Freedom Tower — but also at why Miami's Cubans may be feeling more ambivalent than exultant at the ribbon-cutting [14:15]. And we said farewell to one popular hip music venue — but welcomed back another [27:08].

Cuba is a country that really stands out amongst Latin American nations because of the revolution in 1959. Since then they have lived under the rule of a Communist dictatorship and for most of that time also under severe sanctions from the United States, both of which have create severe hardship for the people of Cuba, both in material terms and also in terms of the lack of civic freedoms. This has resulted in large numbers of Cubans leaving the country over the years to seek a better life in countries such as the USA, Canada, Spain or other parts of Latin America. Not a lot come to Australia, because it is very difficult both practically and financially.Alfredo is perhaps then a bit of a pioneer, who arrived in Hobart in July 2025 from Ecuador, where he spent 12 years previously. His first goal was to improve his English, but his main goal is to find a safe place for his family to settle. Like many migrating from South America, safety and security were major considerations.But despite the hardships that drove him away from Cuba, Alfredo remembers his childhood fondly, as he grew up in a place that was safe and security and where there was a strong sense of community around and people helped each other out. It was only later in life that he started to question the ideology that he had drummed into him religiously from a young age, as the reality that he experienced no longer seemed to match the government line.Alfredo is also a writer, having self-published books on dentistry, he's also written books for children and is working on a fantasy novel as well. On top of this, he has started teaching kickboxing in Hobart as well, and that reflects a theme that kept coming up in our interview that Alfredo values service to others.

Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines and social media this week with a series of bold artistic moves and major cultural statements. Just days ago, he premiered the music video for “NUEVAYoL,” the lead single from his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, intentionally dropping it on July 4th. This release date was not chosen at random; Bad Bunny's decision reframes American Independence Day through a Puerto Rican and immigrant lens, sparking conversation across the internet. According to Los40, he confirmed the date with a simple “sí” to a fan online, making it clear this was a deliberate act.The “NUEVAYoL” video is already causing waves for its political and cultural impact. Set in New York neighborhoods with deep Puerto Rican roots—like the Bronx and Harlem—the video pays homage to the Nuyorican legacy and features updated references to the classic salsa anthem “Un verano en Nueva York.” But the real headline is its unapologetic pro-immigrant message. About halfway through the video, there's a striking sequence where a Donald Trump impersonation plays over a 1970s-style boombox, with the voice declaring, “I want to apologize to the immigrants in America… this country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans.” The visuals reinforce the statement, showing Puerto Rican flags, quinceañera celebrations, and everyday life in New York, ending with the phrase, “Juntos somos más fuertes”—“Together we are stronger.” Outlets like New India Abroad, Harper's Bazaar, and Hits Daily Double agree: this is Bad Bunny's most pointedly political work yet and lands at a time when immigration is hotly debated in the United States, especially with Congress passing new powers for immigration enforcement just days before.Beyond his music video, Bad Bunny is gearing up for a massive summer: his 30-show residency in Puerto Rico, entitled “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí,” begins July 11 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. This residency is both a homecoming and a love letter to his island roots, and according to Travel Noire, all shows are already sold out. He's also announced a global stadium tour for later in the year, with stops across Latin America, Europe, and Asia.Bad Bunny's new album and recent singles are being praised for their deeply personal and socially conscious direction. The album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, explores nostalgia, memory, and the immigrant experience. Rolling Stone and Variety report that Bad Bunny feels an obligation to use his platform to speak out on social and political issues, even if it makes some uncomfortable. He's committed to being a voice for Latinx unity, resilience, and pride, as he told Rolling Stone: “I'm going to talk, and whoever doesn't like it doesn't have to listen to me.”Thank you for tuning in to today's update on all things Bad Bunny.

Catch up on Jack Herrera's recent articles on ICE deportations:Could You Prove You're a Citizen? For Americans wrongfully detained by ICE, it can be nearly impossible to escape.  (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-ice-detained-citizenship-proof.html)Trump's De-legalization Campaign (https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/trumps-de-legalization-campaign)For One Texas County, Arresting Migrants Made Big Money (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/us/migrants-border-bail-forfeit-kinney-county-texas.html)-Chuck Rocha welcomes acclaimed reporter, Jack Herrera (Texas Monthly, Political Magazine) for an in-depth conversation about the state of immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. Jack shares how he went from covering the 2018 migrant caravans in Tijuana to exposing the end of the CHNV parole program—half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans who did everything “the right way” now rendered deportable overnight.Together they unpack:CHNV Parole Termination: How Trump's decision to cut short two-year legal status forced CBP fingerprints into fast-track deportations of fully vetted migrants.ICE Out of Control: The alarming rise in U.S. citizens, including Congressional candidates and everyday families, being detained by ICE, the National Guard and U.S. Marshals—even without warrants.Personal Roots: Jack's own family story—from 12th-generation Texans to NASA chemists—illustrates the enduring contributions of Latino communities.Looking Ahead: What these enforcement tactics mean for Latino voters, the 2025 midterms and the future of U.S. immigration policy.Plus: Jack's off-duty passions—backpacking Colorado's San Juans, finding wild brown trout, and what hiking teaches him about America's greatest resource: its people.

Our economists Michael Gapen and Sam Coffin discuss how a drop in immigration is tightening labor markets, and what that means for the U.S. economic outlook and Fed policy. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michael Gapen: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Gapen, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Economist.Sam Coffin: And I'm Sam Coffin, Senior Economist on our U.S. Economics research team.Michael Gapen: Today we're going to have a discussion about the potential economic consequences of the administration's shift in immigration policies. In particular, we'll focus much of our attention on the influence that immigration reform is having on the U.S. labor market. And what it means for our outlook on Federal Reserve policy.It's Friday, June 13th at 9am in New York.So, Sam, news headlines have been dominated by developments in the President's immigration policies; what is being called by, at least some commentators, as a toughening in his stance.But I'd like to set the stage first with any new information that you think we've received on border encounters and interior removals. The administration has released new data on that recently that covered at least some of the activity earlier this year. What did it tell you? And did it differ markedly from your expectations?Sam Coffin: What we saw at first was border encounters falling sharply to 30,000 a month from 200,000 or 300,000 a month last year. It was perhaps a surprise that they fell that sharply. And on the flip side, interior removals turned out to be much more difficult than the administration had suggested. They'd been targeting maybe 500,000 per year in removals, 1500 a day. And we're hitting a third or a half of that pace.Michael Gapen: So maybe the recent escalation in ICE raids could be in response to this, right? The fact that interior removals have not been as large as some in the administration would desire.Sam Coffin: That's correct. And we think those efforts will continue. The House Budget Reconciliation Bill, for example, has about $155 billion more in the budget for ICE, a large increase over its current budget. This will likely mean greater efforts at interior removals. About half of it goes to stricter border enforcement. The other half goes to new agents and more operations. We'll see what the final bill looks like, but it would be about a five-fold increase in funding.Michael Gapen: Okay. So much fewer encounters, meaning fewer migrants entering the U.S., and stepped-up enforcement on interior removals. So, I guess, shifting gears on the back of that data. Two important visa programs have also been in the news. One is the so-called CHNV Parole Program that's allowed Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to enter the U.S. on parole. The Supreme Court recently ruled that the administration could proceed with removing their immigration status.We also have immigrants on TPS, or Temporary Protected Status, which is subject to periodic removal; if the administration determines that the circumstances that warranted their immigration into the U.S. are no longer present. So, these would be immigrants coming to the U.S. in response to war, conflict, environmental disasters, hurricanes, so forth.So, Sam, how do you think about the ramping up of immigration controls in these areas? Is the end of these temporary programs important? How many immigrants are on them? And what would the cancellation of these mean in terms of your outlook for immigration?Sam Coffin: Yeah, for CHNV Paroles, there are about 500,000 people paroled into the U.S. The Supreme Court ruled that the administration can cancel those paroles. We expect now that those 500,000 are probably removed from the country over the next six months or so. And the temporary protected status; similarly, there are about 800,000 people on temporary protected status. About 600,000 of them have their temporary status revoked at this point or at least revoked sometime soon. And it looks like we'll get a couple hundred thousand in deportations out from that program this year and the rest next year.The result is net immigration probably falling to 300,000 people this year. We'd expected about a million, when we came into this year, but the faster pace of deportation takes that down. So, 300,000 this year and 300,000 next year, between the reduction in border encounters and the increase in deportations.Michael Gapen: So that's a big shift from what we thought coming into the year. What does that mean for population growth and growth in the labor force? And how would this compare – just put it in context from where we were coming out of the pandemic when immigration inflows were quite large.Sam Coffin: Yeah. Population growth before the pandemic was running 0.5 to 0.75 percent per year. With the large increase in immigration, it accelerated 1-1.25 percent during the years of the fastest immigration. At this point, it falls by about a point to 0.3-0.4 percent population growth over the next couple of years.Michael Gapen: So almost flat growth in the labor force, right? So, translate that into what economists would call a break-even employment rate. How much employment do you need to push the unemployment rate down or push the unemployment rate up?Sam Coffin: Yeah, so last year – I mean, we have the experience of last year. And last year about 200,000 a month in payroll growth was consistent with a flat unemployment rate. So far this year, that's full on to 160,000-170,000 a month, consistent with a flat unemployment rate. With further reduction in labor force growth, it would probably decline to about 70,000 a month. So much slower payrolls to hold the unemployment rate flat.Michael Gapen: So, as you know, we've taken the view, Sam, that immigration controls and restrictions will mean a few important things for the economy, right? One is fewer consuming households and softening demand, but the foreign-born worker has a much higher participation rate than domestic workers; about 4 to 5 percentage points higher.So, a lot less labor force growth, as you mentioned. How have these developments changed your view on exactly how hard it's going to be to push the unemployment rate higher?Sam Coffin: So, so far this year, payrolls have averaged about 140,000 a month, and the unemployment rate's been going sideways at 4.2 percent. It's been going sideways since – for about nine months now, in fact. We do expect that payroll growth slows over the course of this year, along with the slowing in domestic demand. We have payroll growth falling around 50,000 a month by late in the year; but the unemployment rate going sideways, 4.3 percent this year because of that decline in breakeven payrolls.For next year, we also have weak payroll growth. We also expect weak payroll growth of about 50,000 a month. But the unemployment rate rising somewhat more to 4.8 percent by the end of the year.Michael Gapen: So, immigration controls really mean the unemployment rate will rise, but less than you might expect and later than you might expect, right? So that's I guess what we would classify as the cyclical effect of immigration.But we also think immigration controls and a much slower growth in the labor force means downward pressure on potential. Where are we right now in terms of potential growth and where's that vis-a-vis where we were? And if these immigration controls go into place, where do we think potential growth is going?Sam Coffin: Well, GDP potential is measured as the sum of productivity growth and growth in trend hours worked. The slower immigration means slower labor force growth and less capacity for hours. We estimated potential growth between 2.5 and 3 percent growth in 2022 to 2024. But we have it falling to 2.0 percent presently – or back to where it was before COVID. If we're right on immigration going forward and we see those faster deportations and the continued stoppage at the border, it could mean potential growth of only 1.5 percent next year.Michael Gapen: That's a big change, of course, from where the economy was just, you know, 12 to 18 months ago. And I'd like to circle back to one point that you made in bringing up the recent employment numbers. In the May job report that was released last week, we also saw a decline in labor force participation. It went down two-tenths on the month.Now, on one hand that may have prevented a rise in the unemployment rate. It was 4.2 but could have been maybe 4.5 percent or so – had the participation rate held constant. So maybe the labor market weakened, and we just don't know it yet. But you have an idea that you've put forward in some of our reports that there might be another explanation behind the drop in the participation rate. What is that?Sam Coffin: It could be that the threat of increased deportations has created a chilling effect on the participation rate of undocumented workers.Michael Gapen: So, explain to listeners what we mean by a chilling effect in participation, right? We're not talking about restricting inflows or actual deportations. What are we referring to?Sam Coffin: Perhaps undocumented workers step out of the workforce temporarily to avoid detection, similar to how people stayed out of the workforce during the pandemic because of fear of infection or need to take care of children or parents. If this is the case, some of the foreign-born population may be stepping out of the labor force for a longer period of time.Michael Gapen: Right. Which would mean the unemployment rate at 4.2 percent is real and does not mask weakness in the labor market. So, whether it's less in migration, more interior removals, or a chilling effect on participation, then the labor market still stays tight.Sam Coffin: And this is why we think the Fed moves later but ultimately cuts more. It's a combination of tariffs and immigration.Michael Gapen: That's right. So, our baseline is that tariffs push inflation higher first, and so the Fed sees that. But if we're right on immigration and your forecast is that the unemployment rate finishes the year at 4.3, then the Fed just stays on hold. And it's not until the unemployment rate starts rising in 2026 that the Fed turns to cuts, right. So, we have cuts starting in March of next year. And the Fed cutting all the way down to 250 to 275.Well, I think altogether, Sam, this is what we know now. It's certainly a fluid situation. Headlines are changing rapidly, so our thoughts may evolve over time as the policy backdrop evolves. But Sam, thank you for speaking with me.Sam Coffin: Thank you very much.Michael Gapen: And thanks for listening.

In the last few weeks, the Supreme Court has dealt more than half a million migrants a serious blow to their ability to live here in the U.S. legally. In separate orders, the court allowed the Trump administration to lift deportation protections for Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Haitians living here under two programs — humanitarian parole and Temporary Protected Status. While the court's orders are only temporary, it's little comfort to the hundreds of thousands of people who are now newly vulnerable to deportation. Dara Lind, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, explains what happens next.And in headlines: Federal authorities charged a man suspected of an antisemitic attack in Colorado with a federal hate crime, the Supreme Court declined to hear two gun rights cases, and representatives for Ukraine and Russia met in Istanbul for peace talks.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Who needs Spanish when you've got a saxophone? A music-lover proves that disability access is just another improvisation in Havana's jazz scene. Best viewed as a video https://youtu.be/Qz9Rm89LHD0 Summary Danny, Health Hats, chronicles his week-long trip to Cuba in January for a music-cultural exchange. Using a wheelchair and playing baritone saxophone, he traveled with a group of 11 from the States, organized by Dan Fox and Arlington MA's Morningside Studios. The group participated in a "Band Camp" hosted by the Havana Music School, receiving daily individual lessons, rehearsing in ensembles, and performing Cuban music at a restaurant. Despite Danny's initial anxieties about traveling with his disability and instrument, he found Cubans accommodating and helpful. The podcast features an interview with Claudia Fumero, manager of the Havana Music School, who discusses: The school's focus on teaching Cuban music to foreign visitors How the business began and evolved from connecting students with teachers in their homes to having a dedicated facility Her dream of expanding with more instruments and creating a small café where people can play music The episode is interspersed with musical performances by the ensembles, including renditions of "Sofrito" and "Afro Blue" by Mongo Santamaria. The group also attended the Havana Jazz Festival each night during their stay. Click here to view the printable newsletter with images. More readable than a transcript, which can also be found below.

Daniel A. Rodriguez's history of a newly independent Cuba shaking off the U.S. occupation, The Right to Live in Health: Medical Politics in Postindependence Havana (University of North Carolina Press, 2020), focuses on the intersection of public health and politics in Havana.  While medical policies were often used to further American colonial power, in Cuba, Rodriguez argues, they evolved into important expressions of anticolonial nationalism as Cuba struggled to establish itself as a modern state.  A younger generation of Cuban medical reformers, including physicians, patients, and officials, imagined disease as a kind of remnant of colonial rule. These new medical nationalists, as Rodriguez calls them, looked to medical science to guide Cuba toward what they envisioned as a healthy and independent future. Rodriguez describes how medicine and new public health projects infused republican Cuba's statecraft, powerfully shaping the lives of Havana's residents. He underscores how various stakeholders, including women and people of color, demanded robust government investment in quality medical care for all Cubans, a central national value that continues today.  On a broader level, Rodriguez proposes that Latin America, at least as much as the United States and Europe, was an engine for the articulation of citizens' rights, including the right to health care, in the twentieth century.

On today's KITM, David Waldman delivers us to the weekend and parks us right under the cloud of another mass shooting. Well, you can't say this shooter was the quiet type who always kept to themselves that you'd never guess… Senator Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador and met Kilmar Abrego Garcia, yet neither one of their heads have appeared on pikes behind Donald K. Trump in a press briefing, so I guess things are better than I thought, and less what Sebastian Gorka wishes they were. A judge has also kept Trump from ordering hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to leave the country, but like the heads on pikes, we don't know what this weekend will bring. Trump did promise to end the war in Ukraine easily within 24 hours. Of course, if it takes longer, or becomes difficult, that offer is void. Measles and E. coli spread, but not as fast as Russian chatbot disinformation.

Truth Talk Live aired a special episode spotlighting Transworld Radio's powerful mission in Cuba. The show explored the island's ongoing political and economic struggles—and how these hardships are opening hearts to the message of Christianity. Since 1964, Transworld Radio has been reaching Cubans with the gospel through its 450,000-watt broadcast station in Bonaire. With limited resources and a fragile power grid, AM radio remains a lifeline for many, making it a crucial tool for sharing faith and hope. Stu invited listeners to support this important mission through prayer and donations, helping spread the message of God's love across Cuba. https://twr.org/

Marc Cox welcomes tax attorney and former IRS counsel Rosemary Becchi to break down the immigration legal battle unfolding under the Biden and Trump administrations. Becchi exposes how an Obama-appointed judge is blocking Trump's attempt to end a special immigration parole program—CHNV—covering Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans flown into the U.S. under Biden's executive order. Rosemary clarifies that the ruling doesn't protect all illegals—just this narrow group. Marc highlights the chaos of case-by-case reviews, the expected Supreme Court fight, and California's staggering $2B budget plea to fund Medicaid for illegal immigrants. It's another example of Biden's immigration disaster now falling into Trump's lap.

Show Notes Episode 489: We Built This City on Flake and Blow This week Host Dave Bledsoe puts on a Hawwian shirt, drops a Jimmy Buffett record on the turntable and mixes up a Bahama Mama before anyone figured out that he was not part of the wedding and threw him out of the venue. (This happens a lot.) On the show this week we head south to a city of sun, sand and billions of dollars worth of cocaine, we talk about the Miami Drug Wars! Along the way we discover that a television news man was the most trusted man in Dave's family. Then we dive right into the history of what would become Miami Florida, and the first snow birds who moved there after they retired. From there we get into how the CIA helped kick start the cocaine trade in America. (This isn't just something “funny” Dave said, this happened.) We learn how the Cubans were all murdered by the Colombians (Scarface was a documentary really) and took over the Miami trade for themselves. We meet the scariest woman in Miami (and Bogota, and, well everywhere) before we get down to the business of finding a way to take all the drug money and put it to work.  (Real Estate baby!) Our Sponsor this week is Fast Eddie's Investment Services, investing involves risk and it doesn't get much riskier than Fast Eddie.  We open with Miami news coverage of the drug wars and close with the T Sisters explaining big city commercial real estate.

Tonight at 9PM ET, we will be chatting with Christian Mlotschek, a home meadmaker in Ontario, Canada. Christian is a newish meadmaker, and has jumped in with both feet to make meads. Christian's brewing adventures started in 2022 when he joined the Society for Creative Anachronism. He's  brewed about 40 batches of mead, beer and cider including a few historical meads from various manuscripts. This past year he started competing in both beer and mead. His "Mixed up Mel" melomel won gold at the Ales Open in April '24, and he received a Gold for his Semi-Sweet Wildflower Trad. at Brew Slam in December '24. He did my first commercial collaboration this past November with Counterpoint Brewing in Kitchener allowing him to learning experience on larger equipment, bringing his Battered Ram Buckwheat Braggot to the masses. It was well received and mostly sold out in a short period. His current projects are: a period adjacent tradional mead recipe where he conscripted 8 other brewers in the SCA to help him fill a mead barrel that he purchased from Rosewood Estates Winery in Ontario. shared mead with and taught some local Cubans on his recent trip how to make it with the promise he gets to try their attempts when he goes back next. bench trials of various varietals to do a sampling of source honey and fermented mead, including his local wildflower, fireweed, coriander, meadowfoam, blueberry blossom and Ontario Buckwheat. The future is hopefully contuing to build his library, more competitions and experimental archeology making recipes from various sources and creating period style Brewing equipment to showcase at demos.

Lee Harvey Oswald's trip to Mexico is one of the most mysterious aspects of the JFK assassination case, and some say it holds the key to understanding what really happened and who was actually involved. Today's episode Part 10 is the tenth episode in this miniseries  and and concludes what else may have happened that weekend with Oswald and then chronicles  the remaining phone calls that happened on October 1st and October 3rd...which  were detected by the CIA's surveillance system and which notify the Mexico City CIA Station that its a man named Oswald who is seeking a visa to Cuba and to Russia. And a man who had spoken to Russian KGB agent Kostikov who was working at the consulate. Valery Kostikov was the famed KGB agent who was also a member of the 13th Department, a KGB division responsible for sabotage and assassinations. In Part 10, we pick the action back up on Saturday after Oswald completed his visit to the Russian Embassy, made in one last ditch effort to secure a Russian visa.  Oswald befriends a group of students at the nearby University in an attempt to influence the Cuban consulate and gain his Cuban visa. When that doesn't end well, in despair, he buys a ticket home to Dallas.  There were a few other activities that weekend that Oswald purportedly engaged in including some more mundane touristy things like attending a bull fight and some meatier allegations such as the one that he engaged with a group of Cubans and that he also met with Carlos Lechuga. All rumors that have never been verified beyond their original story tell. While the Mexico City Visit is ending for Oswald, the activities of the CIA and its Mexico City Station are just beginning. So stick around and join us in our next episode 248 as we explore what the CIA did next.The evidence in this part of the case is confounding and it may be one of the toughest assignments yet for all of us, including  you, the jury, to sort through it all. Come join us as we review one of the most fascinating story tells regarding the JFK assassination, and as we borrow heavily from so many great researchers including the work of Jefferson Morley who wrote Our Man In Mexico and John Armstrong who wrote Harvey and Lee, two of the most detailed and spellbinding books every written on the JFK assassination. Investigations by others, including John Newman and Peter Dale Scott, and the  HSCA's Lopez Report contribute to the richness of our story tell about  what happened...really...in Mexico City....Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
