In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon dives deep into the troubling world of nonprofit charities that have strayed from their intended purpose. He explores how these organizations, which benefit from tax exemptions, are increasingly engaging in harmful activities that undermine American values. From consorting with adversaries like China and Cuba to inciting violence and unrest, Solomon reveals the alarming trends that demand accountability and reform.Joining Solomon is Senator Ron Johnson, a key figure in the fight against these corrupt practices, who shares his insights on the need for a reckoning that includes revoking tax exemptions and seizing assets from those who harm the nation. The episode also features Congressman Michael Guest, chairman of the House Ethics Committee, who weighs in on the legislative measures needed to address these issues.In the latter part of the show, Solomon shifts focus to national security, discussing the implications of a historic deal between Iran and Israel, brokered by the United States. He highlights the unexpected pressures facing Russia and the broader geopolitical landscape, with insights from Fred Fleitz, former Chief of Staff to the National Security Council.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SCHEDULE JBS, 6-25-26.JUNE 1957The Fog of Diplomacy in the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Colonel Jeff McCausland. McCausland discusses a memorandum of understanding with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear weapons. He notes the Iranian requirement for reconstruction aid and the release of frozen assets. He also touches on the IDF's continued presence in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza despite regional negotiations. 1The Evolving Robotic Battlefield in Ukraine. Guest: Colonel Jeff McCausland. McCausland explains how drones have transformed the war in Ukraine, effectively cutting off Russian supply lines to Crimea. He discusses the massive casualty rates caused by drones and Ukraine's plan to deploy thousands of ground robots. Meanwhile, Russia faces severe manpower shortages and high casualty counts. 2Structural Fatigue and Leaks on the ISS Zvezda Module. Guest: Anatoly Zak. Zak details the critical role of the Zvezda module, which provides propulsion and life support for the International Space Station. He addresses growing concerns over air leaks and cracks in a transfer compartment. While currently manageable, the cracks reappear despite repeated sealing attempts. 3Almaz: The Secret Soviet Spy Station in Space. Guest: Anatoly Zak. Zak describes the top-secret Almaz program, military space stations camouflaged under the "Salyut" name for reconnaissance. These "spy satellites with men" took high-resolution photos of NATO bases. The program was eventually discontinued because robotic satellites proved more effective and less taxing on human crews. 4Emily Brontë's Dark Inspiration from the Family Vault. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz examines the profound impact of Emily Brontë's mother's death and the construction of the family burial vault beneath the church floor. She argues this underground space fueled Emily's literary obsession with dungeons and graves. Lutz also defends Patrick Brontë against historical claims of severity. 5The Influence of Aunt Branwell and Early Tragedy. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz highlights Aunt Elizabeth Branwell's sacrifice in moving to Haworth to raise the Brontë children, introducing them to cosmopolitan stories. The segment also details the tragic deaths of the eldest sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, from tuberculosis after a harrowing experience at a poorly managed boarding school. 6Imaginary Empires and the Fierce Loyalty of Keeper. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz describes the miniature books the Brontë children created to document their imaginary worlds, Angria and Gondal. The discussion shifts to Emily's domestic life in Haworth, where she balanced household chores with writing. Lutz also recounts Emily's intense bond with her massive, formidable mastiff-mix dog, Keeper. 7Brussels, Poetry, and the Birth of a Unique Voice. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz discusses Charlotte and Emily's education in Brussels, where Emily honed her concise writing style and piano skills. Following their aunt's death, the sisters returned to Haworth and used their inheritance to focus on writing. They compiled their poetry into a volume under male pseudonyms. 8The Bell Brothers and the Collaborative Creation of Novels. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz explains how the sisters published their poetry under the pseudonyms Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell to avoid gender bias. Despite selling only two copies, they immediately began collaborating on their first novels. Lutz also explores the troubled life of their brother, Branwell. 9The Reclusive Genius of Emily Brontë. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz describes Emily Brontë's writing habits in her small bedroom overlooking a graveyard. Despite her reclusive nature and strong-minded personality, she lived a life filled with "joy and contentment" while crafting Wuthering Heights. Lutz notes that her sisters initially found the dark, violent novel strange. 10The Experimental Haunting of Wuthering Heights. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz explores the Gothic structure and experimental narrative frames of Wuthering Heights. She suggests Heathcliff is an extension of Emily's own fierce imagination. The segment concludes with the tragic deaths of Branwell, Emily, and Anne from tuberculosis, leaving Patrick as the family's sole survivor. 11The Enduring Legacy of the Brontës in Haworth. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz reflects on the Brontës' lasting cultural impact and Haworth's transformation into a major tourist destination.

Unger interviews whistleblower Jonathan Buma, a former FBI agent, regarding investigations into Donald Trump's ties to Russian intelligence. He claims Trump Tower served as a "laundromat" for the Russian mafia to clean illicit funds through luxury real estate. Unger questions why the FBI failed to act. 13Political Interference and FBI Counter-Intelligence Failures. Guest: Craig Unger. Unger discusses how investigations into the 2020 election and Rudy Giuliani were allegedly stymied. He notes that Giuliani received payments from Russian oligarchs, potentially compromising the Trump campaign. Unger and Buma explore why major intelligence agencies and the Department of Justice have not pursued these leads. 14The Chronic Failures of the Cuban Regime. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. O'Grady analyzes Cuba's ongoing economic misery and electricity crises, which the government blames on the U.S. embargo. She references the failed 10-million-ton sugar harvest of 1970 as a symbol of the state's incompetence. The regime maintains power through bitter repression and control over food resources. 15The Distortions of Global Wealth Taxes. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. De Rugy discusses how the UK's tax system discourages international athletes from competing at Wimbledon by taxing their worldwide endorsements. She argues that oppressive global tax schemes, such as California's proposed billionaire tax, often result in reduced economic activity and lower wage growth for middle-class workers. 16One correction folded in: the guest is Mary Anastasia O'Grady (not "Anastasio") in file 15.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: The Trump administration continues to ratchet up pressure on Cuba, but if tensions were ever to turn military, Havana may have little ability to respond. We'll examine the dramatic collapse of Cuba's once-feared armed forces and how one of the Cold War's most formidable militaries became a shadow of its former self. Ukraine continues taking the fight deeper into Russia, striking key oil facilities as part of its long-range drone campaign. We'll explain how the attacks are forcing Moscow to reposition valuable air defenses away from the front lines. North Korea enters a new era of naval power after commissioning its first destroyer capable of carrying nuclear-armed missiles, marking a significant expansion of Pyongyang's maritime ambitions. In today's Back of the Brief—Venezuela is reeling from its worst earthquakes in nearly six decades as rescue crews search for survivors and authorities race to assess the full scale of the devastation.

A stranded explorer on Jupiter's frozen moon discovers that the greatest danger is not the brutal landscape but the choices made when desperation takes hold. When an alien race reveals powers far beyond human understanding, Hugh Betancourt must decide whether some discoveries are too valuable to bring home. Star Of Panadur by Albert De Pina and Henry Hasse. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Henry Hasse has appeared on the podcast before, but today marks the Lost Sci-Fi Podcast debut of Albert dePina. Albert Robert dePina was born in 1901 in Havana, Cuba. Like many writers from the pulp science fiction era, very little is known about his life. Between 1943 and 1954, he published just ten stories, four of them co-written with Henry Hasse. dePina passed away in 1956 at the age of 55, less than two years after the publication of his final story. Turn to page 65 in Planet Stories, March 1943, Star Of Panadur by Albert dePina and Henry Hasse… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A young god wagers billions of years on a daring experiment that every elder around him expects to fail.

DOCKET ALERTS: The administration says it's going to prosecute anyone who touches the algae-ridden Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial. So far, that seems to be more bluster than reality.   Sadly, what isn't bluster is that Judges Reed O'Connor and Mark Pittman in Texas are handing down extraordinarily long punitive sentences for Antifa protestors to "send a message" not to criticize the government.   DOOFUS OF THE DAY: Postmaster General David Steiner, who tried to pass off voter suppression efforts to not distribute ballots as just "best practices" for the USPS. Fortunately, Judge Indira Talwani in Massachusetts permanently enjoined that part of Trump's plan to steal the midterms and ordered declared Trump's executive order unconstitutional and void.   MAIN SHOW: It was a rough week at the Supreme Court, with SEVEN decisions all reaching extreme right-wing outcomes, all by the exact same 6-3 margin, and using contradictory legal "reasoning" to get there. The Supreme Court prevented victims of human rights abuses from suing the US company Cisco, while permitting Exxon Mobil to sue the Cuban government.   US v.

Mary O'Grady. Mary O'Grady discusses Cuba's persistent electricity crisis, explaining that chronic blackouts result from decades of infrastructure deterioration in the power grid and heavy oil plants, rather than solely being caused by losing Venezuelan oil supplies.1969

This week on Without A Country, Corinne Fisher breaks down the political shakeups coming out of New York City's primary elections and what Zohran Mamdani's growing influence could mean for the future of the Democratic Party heading into 2028. She examines surprise victories from DSA-backed candidates, the role of endorsements in modern politics, and the broader battle for the direction of the American left. Corinne and Mike also dive into Jimmy Fallon's controversial decision to host Conor McGregor despite the fighter's recent civil seggsual assault ruling. Then, in a deep-dive exposé, Corinne unpacks the bombshell Washington Post investigation into Tulsi Gabbard, her upbringing in the Science of Identity Foundation, allegations of cult-like influence, and the mysterious network of advisers who may have helped shape her political career. Plus: the new report shared by the UN about children in Gaza, the Trump administration's foreign policy moves, Israel and Gaza, international election interference concerns, developments in Cuba, unrest in Bolivia, and staggering rising domestic violence statistics in one US state.0:00 Intro1:20 Welcome to Without a Country2:41 Patreon & show support3:40 NYC's closed primaries explained4:49 On political endorsements 6:28 Brad Lander's win & his political persona9:20 Mamdani's endorsement slate & DSA momentum11:30 Darializa Avila Chevalier's stunning upset15:35 Enemy of the State: Jimmy Fallon20:08 Fallon hosting Conor McGregor26:43 Conor McGregor's r@pe case, explained32:45 McGregor's comeback fight vs. Max Holloway34:54 Deep dive: The Washington Post's Tulsi Gabbard exposé38:08 Tulsi Gabbard's upbringing inside the Science of Identity Foundation42:22 The Informant51:56 Tangent: who actually runs the DSA?59:54 Chris Butler's political origins in Hawaii1:06:31 The 1990s anti-gay-marriage ad featuring young Tulsi1:09:57 On-the-ground investigation in Hawaii1:17:19 Scripted tweets and talking points1:23:59 Attempts to Discredit Informant 1:29:55 Running the memos through Claude AI1:36:12 Gabbard's abrupt departure as DNI1:39:59 Gabbard's parting shots at Fauci over Covid origins1:43:59 The White House's "media offenders" list1:46:54 The UFC 250 White House attack plot1:57:44 So who actually runs the DSA?1:59:20 Why political "vessels" need star power2:04:13 Politico: "Mamdani emerges as kingmaker"2:08:56 Brad Lander's district & the Jewish vote2:21:31 NYT profile: Who is Darializa Avila Chevalier?2:31:57 Could Be Worse: Gaza coverage fatigue & media consolidation2:35:12 UN report: Israel targeting Palestinian children2:39:09 Cuties Corner: the ant slave rebellion2:43:01 Bolivia's state of emergency2:43:29 Colombia's election & Trump's meddling2:44:45 Cuba's economic reforms under US pressure2:46:08 One state's rise in domestic violence2:47:24 Outro & how to support the showSUBSCRIBE TO THE PATREON:https://patreon.com/WithoutACountry?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkFOLLOW WITHOUT A COUNTRY ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/withoutacountrypodcast/FOLLOW CORINNE ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/philanthropygalFOLLOW MIKE ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/themharrington/FOLLOW ALONG:ENEMY OF THE STATE: JIMMY FALLONhttps://sports.yahoo.com/article/conor-mcgregors-rape-case-explained-210139281.htmlMAIN STORIESTulsi Gabbard exposéhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2026/06/21/tulsi-gabbard-her-guru-mysterious-messages-that-helped-shape-her-political-career/Hawaii anti-same sex marriage ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXPH_b_ATioScience of Identity Foundationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_Identity_FoundationWHITE HOUSE GREAT LAWN UFC ATTACK PLOThttps://www.justice.gov/usao-sdoh/pr/five-men-arrested-charged-plot-attack-kill-government-officials-others-attending&https://www.npr.org/2026/06/23/nx-s1-5867278/authorities-arrest-suspects-attack-ufc-showMUNICIPALMamdani the Kingmaker https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/06/25/mamdani-emerges-tuesday-primaries-big-winner-other-takeaways/Darializa Chevalierhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/nyregion/who-is-darializa-avila-chevalier.htmlCOULD BE WORSE/GUUUURLGaza Gen0cide Continueshttps://news.un.org/en/story/2026/06/1167790Boliviahttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr47wn92zdgoTrump & Columbiahttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/24/colombia-presidential-election-abelardo-de-la-espriellaCuba Economic Liberalization After Pressure from UShttps://www.democracynow.org/2026/6/22/headlines/under_intense_us_pressure_cuban_lawmakers_approve_sweeping_economic_changesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Knicks just won the NBA Finals — and José Alvarado led the Puerto Rican Day Parade the next morning. But while New York was celebrating, something else was quietly happening in the Caribbean: a US carrier strike group just parked itself 90 miles from Havana. Henry and Danny — with help from AI guest Tio Raul — break down the full arc of America's 125-year obsession with Cuba. From the first concentration camps in history, to the mob-run casino island Batista built for American business, to Fidel's guerrilla campaign on a 10-person yacht with 81 men aboard, to the Cuban tank crews that went and fought Israel on a mountain in Syria — this island punches so far above its weight it's almost unbelievable. They also get into why Cuba deployed nearly half a million troops to Angola over 16 years, how that campaign helped end apartheid in South Africa (and what Nelson Mandela himself said about it), and how Aroldis Chapman — the hardest thrower in baseball history — had to buy his freedom from a cartel for $30 million just to pitch in the majors. And then there's Marco Rubio, whose family left Cuba under Batista — not Castro — now sitting as Secretary of State with a carrier fleet and a personal vendetta shaping US foreign policy in real time. Someone just dropped $57,000 on a prediction market betting it all goes hot before the end of 2026. Tio Raul is powered by Maneku — the AI built for real conversations.

It's Thursday, June 25th, A.D. 2026. 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 Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Cuban Communists keep sick Protestant pastor imprisoned Christian Solidarity Worldwide reports a Protestant pastor remains in prison in Cuba amid concerns for his health. Pastor Alexis Padrón Lorenzo leads the Communion in Faith Church in Havana. Authorities detained him on June 10, physically abused him during interrogation, and blocked family members from contacting him. This happened after Lorenzo expressed opposition to the country's communist system.  Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Cuba. The country is ranked 24th on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most oppressive countries worldwide for Christians. Write a polite, 2-sentence note of objection to Cuba's top diplomat: Lianys Torres Rivera, Cuban Consulate, 2639 16th Street NW, Washington DC, 20009. Rubio urges new Columbian president to end illegal immigration to U.S. As The Worldview reported on June 23rd, the citizens of the South American country of Colombia narrowly elected conservative Abelardo De La Espriella, who was Trump-endorsed, over left-wing candidate Iván Cepeda.  De La Espriella promised a crackdown on crime.  g the election, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted, “The Trump Administration looks forward to working closely with your incoming administration to advance regional security cooperation, end illegal immigration to the United States, and strengthen our economic ties.” Daniel 2:21 reminds us that God “changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings.” Biden's illegal immigration drove up housing costs In the United States, a recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas found illegal migration under the Biden administration drove up housing costs. The report estimates that unauthorized immigrant worker flows explain  about 30% of the total growth in house prices and 20% of total growth in rents.  Listen to comments last year by Vice President J.D. Vance on the subject. VANCE: “When we talk about housing and why costs are so high, we don't talk enough about demand. One of the drivers of increased housing demand, we know, is that we've got a lot of people over the last four years who have come into the country illegally.” Four years since Roe v. Wade overturned: Pro-life laws in 19 states Four years ago, on June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The ruling said the U.S. Constitution does not include a right to abortion. It also handed regulation of abortion to individual states. Since then, 19 states have passed anti-abortion laws. Thirteen states ban abortions in most cases. Four states ban abortions at 6 weeks of pregnancy. And two states ban them at 12 weeks. Trump ends sexually explicit school teen programs The Daily Signal reports that the Trump administration will cut funding to many teenage pregnancy prevention programs in schools this week. The Department of Health and Human Services reviewed Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants. It decided to terminate most of them, ending $67 million in grants.  The administration described the grants from the Biden-era as “medically inaccurate,” “age-inappropriate,” and “sexually explicit.” U.S., Mexico, & Canada Bible societies share Christ during World Cup Bible societies are using the 2026 World Soccer Cup to engage millions of fans with Scripture. The United States, Canada, and Mexico are hosting the event. So, the American Bible Society, the Mexican Bible Society, and the Canadian Bible Society are promoting Bibles, devotionals, and evangelistic booklets.  Christian Daily International notes, “These efforts reflect a broader trend among Bible societies worldwide. As major global events attract billions of viewers, organizations are increasingly developing resources that connect Scripture with cultural moments and reach people who may not normally engage with churches or religious programs.” For example, Living Waters, founded by Evangelist Ray Comfort, has printed 2 million copies of the 2026 World Cup million-dollar bill tract available for free when you cover the shipping. They are an effective tool because there is: Instant curiosity: People pick it up and ask questions Natural transition: From “World Cup” to The Cup of Grace Clear Gospel message: Simple, direct, and memorable And it's easy to share: Great for friends, coworkers, and public outreaches Visit the website: www.LivingWaters.com/WorldCup Major League Baseball no longer requires Christian players to support perversion And finally, Major League Baseball recently announced it will not require players to wear uniforms that promote sexually perverted lifestyles.  The issue arose after three San Francisco Giants players added Bible verses to the Rainbow Homosexual Pride caps which they were initially required to wear. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri posted a letter from the Commissioner of Major League Baseball. Hawley wrote, “The Major Leage Baseball Commissioner writes to me and admits they were wrong to threaten the Giants players over Bible verses and promises never to fine or discipline these players -- or any players for their religious beliefs.” Several San Francisco Giants Christian pitchers — Landen Roupp, Ryan Walker, and J.T. Brubaker  — referenced Genesis chapter 9 on their hats about the true meaning of the rainbow. In verses 14 and 15, God said, “It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the Earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.” Landon Roup was asked about his hand-written Scripture on his cap at a press conference. ROUP: “God's covenant, and a promise that He makes to us, that His faithfulness and His mercy. It's kind of something I believe in. I stand firm in that.” Amusingly, Cyd Ziegler, the homosexual co-founder of OutSports, was enraged by the Scripture the Christian pitchers had added to the hats. ZIEGLER: “It defaced the Pride Rainbow with a Bible verse telling the LGBT community that they do not own the rainbow, that God owns the rainbow.” Mr. Ziegler, I've got news for you.  God does own the rainbow! Send a two-sentence thank you note to Robert Manfred, Major League Baseball Commissioner, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020. And send a 2-sentence thank you note to Landen Roupp for his Christian witness and outspokeness. San Francisco Giants, Oracle Park. 24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA 94107.

RECALL: Act Two In February 1961, the boys of Miami Military Academy are still marching, joking, fighting, shaving, bleeding, stealing, and pretending the world outside the gates is someone else’s problem. But the world is already inside the school. It is in the news from Cuba. It is in the old munitions bunkers by the bay. It is in the secrets the adults keep, the wounds they drink through, and the wars they keep handing down to children. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Al Pacino, RECALL is a funny, savage, deeply human coming-of-age drama about abandoned boys, broken fathers, old soldiers, Cuban exiles, secret weapons, and the machinery that turns fear into patriotism. Act Two begins as Stephen Lishinsky tries to survive the strange education of “A” Company. His head has been butchered. His pride has been beaten. His idea of honor has already taken a few direct hits. When he tries to run, Commander Patterson finds him at the bus stop and gives him the kind of broken advice only a broken soldier can give: if you are in a storm, sometimes the only move is to sit tight and let the morning come. But morning at Miami Military Academy is never clean. Coombs is missing. The Razor Fiend is back. Bear is bleeding into the sink. Lindquist, the feral boy from the mango trees, is pulled into uniform and passed off as a cadet because, at this school, identity is just another piece of equipment someone misplaced. Sally Barnes drifts through the place like a lit match, furious at her father, suspicious of Patterson, and impossible for Lishinsky to ignore. Patterson tries to protect her, but the past between him, Colonel Barnes, and Sally’s mother is its own battlefield. Meanwhile, Slouch and Bebop stop pretending their war is imaginary. The key to Bunker 3 becomes guns, ammunition, and contraband dragged through the machinery of a school that is already falling apart. Patterson lectures boys on amphibious landings while the real invasion waits in the shadows. Bebop is pulled closer to the Cuban exile cause. Slouch, half romantic and half criminal, follows him into the Everglades, into blindfolds, pistols, secret rooms, and men who do not look like teachers. There is comedy everywhere because boys make comedy out of terror. There is coconut rum, marching songs, bad haircuts, chocolate cokes, contraband, dirty jokes, and the Dade County Fair waiting like a reward for good behavior nobody intends to have. But underneath the noise, the rifles are getting heavier. The lies are getting harder to carry. And the adults are running out of time. RECALL is about boyhood at the exact moment history stops being a lesson and starts becoming a weapon. It is about fathers who failed, sons who improvise, countries that ask for sacrifice before they explain the cost, and boys who are still laughing because they do not yet understand what the world is loading. Starring Alan Rosenberg, Carson Bolde, Stone Garcia, Wesley Kimmel, Dan Lauria, Kensington Tallman, Roxton Garcia, Bruce Davison, Luca Diaz, Amari O’Neil, Amir O’Neil, David Errigo Jr., Zeke Alton, Gian Franco Rodriguez, Miki Yamashita, Nemil Mudvari, Sofia D’Marco, and Ashley Ciarra.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Vladimir Putin says Russia is ready to restart peace negotiations with Ukraine based on the framework discussed during the 2022 Istanbul talks. We examine whether Moscow is still negotiating from the same position of strength it held four years ago, or if Ukraine's growing ability to strike Russia's economy has altered the balance of leverage. China unveils a strange new tool in the South China Sea: a mysterious floating platform positioned near a disputed atoll. We'll explain what analysts believe it may be used for and why regional rivals are paying close attention. Russia is accused of attacking three foreign cargo ships in the Black Sea, killing an Egyptian sailor and raising fresh concerns about the safety of international shipping in the region. In today's Back of the Brief—the Trump administration expands its pressure campaign against Cuba, targeting five entities and a member of the Castro family with new sanctions aimed at the regime's financial network.

In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant sits down with Dr. Mario Duque, Dean of the School of Berean at Global University, for a candid conversation about immigration, citizenship, and the American Dream. Dr. Duque shares his family's powerful journey as refugees fleeing Cuba and the challenges they faced on their path to becoming American citizens. Along the way, he helps clarify the important differences between refugees, immigrants, and illegal immigration. The conversation also explores America's current immigration challenges and Dr. Duque's four-point plan for addressing the illegal immigration crisis in a way that is both compassionate and practical. This episode offers a thoughtful perspective on one of the most important issues facing our nation today. #TWWSI, #MarioDuque, #Immigration, #Refugees, #AmericanDream, #LegalImmigration, #FaithAndCulture, #Citizenship, #Leadership, #PastorAlexBryant, #TheWayWeSeeIt

Why does the aftermath of every revolution look like a disaster -- except ours?Pigweed and Crowhill walk through the big ones. * France's Reign of Terror killed tens of thousands and left the country in chaos for a century. * Haiti's slave revolt produced 111 changes of head of state and has never stopped bleeding. * Russia's communist revolution promised a people's paradise and delivered gulags and engineered famines. * China's Cultural Revolution had students beating their teachers to death and killed sparrows until the plague came. * Cuba took one of the wealthiest islands in the Caribbean and turned it into a museum.The common threads: destroy religion, abolish private property, eliminate the old institutions, and above all — try to create a new kind of man from scratch. It never works. It always ends in mass death and tyranny.What did America do differently? The founders weren't trying to remake human nature. They weren't starting from year zero. They were British citizens who already had self-government, local institutions, and a functioning legal tradition — and they simply wanted the king to stop interfering with it.

He breaks down decades of U.S. sanctions on countries like Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela, arguing that they often fail to change regimes while mostly harming everyday citizens. He makes the case that engagement and trade may be a more effective form of influence than economic isolation.

En medio de un clima de crisis económica y tensión social, el grupo de oposición Consejo para la Transición Democrática en Cuba denunció la detención y tortura de su presidente Manuel Cuesta Morúa. En RFI hemos entrevistado al activista Cuesta Morúa, quien nos relató cómo se produjo la detención y los motivos que hay detrás. El ruido de las caceroladas es habitual durante las noches en La Habana, Cuba. La gente protesta por los cortes de luz y la escasez de combustible tras cinco meses de bloqueo petrolero por parte de Estados Unidos. En este contexto, la organización opositora Consejo para la Transición Democrática en Cuba denunció que la policía secuestró y torturó a su líder, Manuel Cuesta Morúa. “Recibiría un tiro en la cabeza” “Me condujeron hacia otra provincia contigua que se llama Artemisa y en un lugar descampado, luego de horas de tortura dentro de la patrulla, con todos los cristales cerrados y esposado en las espaldas, y luego de haber recibido algunos golpes, me amenazaron de muerte, definitivamente, la frase fue repetida de que si Estados Unidos de alguna manera invadía Cuba, pues yo, y no solo yo, han amenazado también a otros activistas, recibiría un tiro en la cabeza”, cuenta a RFI el activista. La policía acusó a Cuesta Morúa de "incitar a la ciudadanía a manifestarse el 11 de julio", pero este señala que se trata de una estrategia para acallar a las masas. “Nosotros, el Consejo para la Transición Democrática, y yo personalmente he venido ofreciendo solidaridad y apoyo a ese movimiento nacional que se ha ido articulando de cacerolazos a lo largo y ancho del país, para expresar el aquí y el ahora de las necesidades urgentes y emergentes de la sociedad cubana, y que se van a profundizar. Y por supuesto, el Gobierno cubano teme justamente algún liderazgo de la sociedad civil en relación con esta protesta en un momento que toma medidas que están pensadas para el 1%”, explica. “Un proceso liderado por los cubanos” En marzo de este año, el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, aseguraba que Cuba sufriría una intervención como la que llevó a cabo en Venezuela y que desembocó en la captura del expresidente Nicolás Maduro. Ahora, parece que el eco de las palabras de Trump resuena más fuerte que nunca. “Desde el día 1 que esta alternativa se presentó como posible, nos opusimos a una intervención de Estados Unidos. Estados Unidos, como todas las naciones democráticas del mundo, debe apoyar un proceso de cambio en el país, debe apoyar un proceso de transición. Pero esto tiene que ser un proceso liderado por los cubanos, apoyado por la comunidad internacional, eso incluye a Estados Unidos, pero liderado por los cubanos. Nos hemos opuesto a la salida venezolana. Cuesta Morúa señala que la situación en Cuba es insostenible, y que el Gobierno teme unas protestas como las del 11 de julio de 2021, las más grandes desde la Revolución Cubana, y que dejaron un muerto, múltiples heridos y más de mil detenidos.

Human beings have always loved to gamble. Archeological records suggest we've been doing it for the last 12,000 years, since the end of the last Ice Age. But for as long as we've been playing games of chance, we've worried about what they might be doing to us. For thousands of years, everyone from Aristotle to George Washington condemned gambling, an ancient anxiety that ran so deep it became something like a moral consensus. And then that consensus evaporated. In the span of a decade, both Canada and the US legalized sports betting. Now anyone with a smartphone and a credit card can wager on basketball, hockey, or American cornhole. But it turned out that was just the beginning. A few years later came “prediction markets” like Kalshi and Polymarket that let you bet on, well, just about anything: whether the US will invade Cuba, the odds of James Comey being sent to prison, and whether Jesus Christ will return before 2027. That last one, by the way, is currently sitting at 3 per cent on Polymarket. If betting on missile strikes, military coups, and political prosecutions feels kind of gross, I'm with you. But James Surowiecki thinks we should give prediction markets a chance. Surowiecki is the author of The Wisdom of Crowds, a book he wrote more than 20 years ago, where he argued that large groups of ordinary people are actually better than experts at making predictions. It's become something of a foundational text for these markets: the idea that they can crowdsource knowledge, aggregate what millions of people believe about the future, and use that signal to make better decisions. So I wanted to have James on to make the case for prediction markets, and to see if he could make me feel just a little less squeamish about a world where you can gamble on everything.

Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Adam Sosnick, and Vincent Oshana break down Trump's aggressive new Cuba strategy, the report that more than 1 billion barrels of oil have effectively "gone missing," and the growing calls for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to step aside.------

The Iran deal looked like a breakthrough until both sides started spinning it within the hour, but oil kept falling and the dollar stayed bid anyway. Marty and John walk through a week of narrative violations, from WTI dropping into the mid seventies to Fed Chair Warsh's hawkish first FOMC press conference. They dig into why hyperscaler CapEx exploding while free cash flow collapses makes Volcker 2.0 impossible, how housing affordability and debt service are pushing the Fed and Treasury back together, and why frontier AI is now a state secret. They also check in on Bitcoin's quiet grind, with Taiwan's central bank exploring reserves and BlackRock still building products in the background.

La dimensión del fracaso toma forma con las decisiones obligadasQuien no haya vivido el siglo XX posiblemente no sepa muy bien que significaba Cuba fuera de Cuba. Más aún luego de la caída del Muro de Berlín y la disolución de la Unión Soviética. Cuba era la heredera de un sueño. Por supuesto también la portadora de una pesadilla descomunal para muchos. Cuba era el sueño de que sí se podía plantar orgullo frente al poder imperialista. Cuba simbolizaba otro modo de hacer política, de encarnar la valentía, otra forma de hacer cultura, una esperanza de no caer inevitablemente en los indicativos del sistema capitalista voraz e insensible. Un modo de escapar de la fuerza gravitacional del sistema impuesto desde Hollywood, el New York Times, Fox, CNN o las casas de moda europea, de saltar el cerco informativo, de hallar valor más allá del dinero, de no pecar de abundancias superfluas.

We're joined by our longtime friend, Franklin Foer of The Atlantic! We have a deal in Iran or at least an agreement to have an agreement. Even some Republicans are calling this an unconditional surrender. Al and Frank break down the massive concessions, which include a staggering $300 billion to reconstruct Iran, lifted blockades, and Iranian tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. And what does all of this mean for Trump and Netanyahu's plummeting relationship ahead of the Israeli elections this fall?Frank also breaks down the war in Ukraine, the situation in Venezuela, and ongoing tensions with Cuba.Plus, we discuss Frank's bestselling book, “How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization.” It was recently reissued to coincide with the U.S. hosting the World Cup. Frank explains how his views of world soccer have changed since the original publishing and why globalization never brought us the "kumbaya political liberalism" we were promised.READ Franklin Foer in The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/author/franklin-foer/READ Frank's book, “How Soccer Explains the World:” https://www.harpercollins.com/products/how-soccer-explains-the-world-franklin-foer 

Paul Rieckhoff and journalist David Rhode rip into the wreckage of Trump's Iran operation — a campaign sold as an existential fight that ended with sanctions lifted, frozen assets returned, the nuclear program intact, and the regime still in power to keep slaughtering its own people. Thirteen American troops are dead. Forty percent of the Navy was tied up. The defense budget is ballooning past $1.5 trillion to paper over the costs. And the optics on the world stage? A checked-out president, alone in the G7 photo, looking weak while our adversaries celebrate. This is a solo briefing on what the angry middle needs to understand right now: every objective Trump set was missed, the Iranian people who risked their lives waiting for America have been hung out to dry, and the president is already telegraphing Cuba as the next target. Paul makes the case that Congress needs to invoke the War Powers Act before the next strike, not after — and that the working-class Americans who were promised their lives would change are footing the bill for Trump-class battleships the Navy says it doesn't need.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Cedric Walker. Interview Purpose The purpose of this interview is to highlight visionary entrepreneurship, cultural ownership, and perseverance, using Cedric Walker’s founding of Universoul Circus as a case study in building a purpose‑driven business that uplifts community while achieving long‑term success. The conversation emphasizes how research, resilience, cultural authenticity, and belief in a vision can overcome skepticism and systemic barriers. It also positions Universoul Circus as more than entertainment—it is a multigenerational cultural institution rooted in Black excellence, inclusion, and family unity. Major Themes & Key Takeaways 1. Vision Comes Before Validation Cedric Walker shares that the vision for Universoul Circus came in the early 1990s, long before there was widespread belief that a Black‑owned circus centered on performers of color could succeed. Despite strong skepticism from both Black and white investors, Walker trusted the research, the cultural need, and his instinct. Key takeaway: Vision must lead—even when validation comes much later. 2. Research Turns Ideas Into Reality Walker did not rely on inspiration alone. He immersed himself in research, studying Black entertainment history, circus traditions, and global performance art. This foundation allowed him to confidently build a unique, sustainable model rather than copying existing formats. Key takeaway: Preparation and research are critical when challenging industry norms. 3. Cultural Authenticity Is a Competitive Advantage Universoul Circus was created to be authentically Black, not as a niche product, but as a universal experience rooted in joy, music, athleticism, and storytelling. Walker emphasizes that authenticity—not adaptation—is what attracts diverse audiences. Key takeaway: When you are fully yourself, your work transcends culture and geography. 4. Family‑Centered Entertainment Fills a Real Need A defining goal of Universoul Circus is to create an experience where multiple generations can sit together and all feel seen, engaged, and celebrated. Walker intentionally designed the show so grandparents, parents, and children could enjoy the same experience simultaneously. Key takeaway: Businesses that bring families together create lasting emotional value. 5. Evolution Without Losing Identity Over time, Universoul Circus evolved—from including animals to becoming a modern, high‑energy, animal‑free production—adapting to changing laws, audience preferences, and cultural shifts. However, Walker notes that the soul of the circus never changed. Key takeaway: Successful brands evolve operationally without abandoning their purpose. 6. Global Talent, Long‑Term Investment Walker details how Universoul Circus sources talent from around the world, including Ethiopia, Cuba, China, and the Caribbean. Performers often undergo years of training and development before appearing in the show, reinforcing Universoul’s commitment to excellence and safety. Key takeaway: Excellence requires patience, investment, and a long‑term mindset. 7. Representation Changes Perception Universoul Circus intentionally showcases elite Black performers in spaces where they were historically unseen or undervalued. Walker explains that representation is not symbolic—it reshapes belief and possibility for both audiences and performers. Key takeaway: Representation is not aesthetic; it is transformative. 8. Perseverance Creates Legacy Celebrating over 30 years of operation, Universoul Circus stands as proof that staying committed to purpose through adversity leads to longevity. Walker sees the circus as a living legacy and a foundation for future cultural innovation. Key takeaway: Longevity is built by staying the course when others doubt the destination. Notable Quotes “Vision comes to you like that—you have to trust it.” “Nobody believed it would work, but I felt it in my gut and in my research.” “Our goal was to stay authentically Black—that’s what transcends culture.” “We wanted something where a grandmother, a father, and a child could all enjoy the same show.” “Nothing you see is by chance. Everything has meaning.” “We invested years into these performers before they ever hit our stage.” “This is more than a circus—it’s a family reunion under the big top.” Overall Message Cedric Walker’s interview is a masterclass in cultural entrepreneurship. It demonstrates how creativity, courage, and conviction can transform an idea into an enduring institution. His journey with Universoul Circus reinforces that purpose, preparation, and persistence are the true drivers of success—especially when building something that challenges expectations. The conversation ultimately affirms that when a business is rooted in authenticity and community, it can achieve both economic sustainability and cultural impact. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW #AMISee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Could the latest violent attacks by both parties derail the tentative US-Iran peace deal? We hear from reporters on the ground in bomb-struck southern Lebanon and the Iranian capital Tehran, and ask Israeli journalist Anshel Pfeffer what Israel's strategy might be. Also in the programme: proposed economic reforms in Cuba - which the United States has dismissed as 'superficial smoke signals'. And the enduring appeal of the classic album 'The Queen is dead' by the UK indie band The Smiths, 40 years after its release.(Photo: Aftermath of Israeli strike in Lebanon.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:  First—The fragile peace process between the U.S. and Iran has already encountered its first major test.

I'll have the details. Later in the show—Cuba approves some of the most sweeping free-market reforms since Fidel Castro's revolution. We'll explain why the Communist government suddenly appears willing to embrace changes it once considered politically unthinkable.

IVA showcase: Veterans Meeting the Moment: Todd Achilles on His Idaho Senate Run & Ridgecrest, CA Mayor Travis Endicott. Father's Day 2026.  The Iran operation is being called the biggest American strategic loss in a generation, and the receipts are damning. Thirteen service members dead, billions unaccounted for, forty percent of the Navy tied up, sanctions lifted, assets returned, the nuclear program left intact, and the brutal regime in Tehran emboldened. Meanwhile the president is publicly floating Cuba as the next target, and Congress still hasn't invoked the War Powers Act. Paul Rieckhoff sits down with World War Z author Max Brooks to cut through the spin and ask the harder question: what do citizens actually do when the institutions designed to protect them are this badly broken? This conversation goes deep on the cost of forever wars, the morale and recruiting crisis inside the military, the betrayal of brave Iranians who believed America would have their backs, and the generational damage of watching two octogenarian presidents flail on the world stage. Brooks brings the same survivalist clarity that made World War Z resonate — preparation, community, civic muscle — and Paul translates it into marching orders for the angry middle. This is not despair content. It's a no-BS briefing on how veterans, independents, and working-class Americans can adapt, improvise, and overcome a political class that has earned exactly zero trust. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Visit Kalshi and trade on anything.

We're living in a moment when the geopolitical intersects with the personal in a profound way. The relationship between the United States and Cuba is once again in the news, and it happens at a time when there are a handful of new releases from Cuban artists on the island and around the world. The sounds of the albums are vastly different, but they all draw from the same deep well of inspiration that has always fueled Cuban music: a deep love for the intersection of cultures. The music we share this week is a reminder of the very real lives of the people caught in the middle of a situation with an uncertain outcome. It is joyous, contemplative, rhythmically sophisticated and lyrically profound. Just like all Cuban music.Artists & songs featured in this episode:(00:52) OKAN, "Ajé (Owo Nla Nla)"(03:30) Ibeyo, "Aset"(06:45) Orquesta Akokán, "No Me Voy" (11:50) Cimafunk, "Cocinarte"(15:47) X Alfonso, "Unicornio"This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.

RECALL: Act One In February 1961, while America watches Cuba on television and tells itself the next war will belong to someone else, a dying military academy in Miami is still teaching boys how to stand straight, take orders, and become men. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Al Pacino, RECALL is a funny, savage, deeply human coming-of-age drama about abandoned boys, broken fathers, old soldiers, Cuban exiles, secret weapons, and the first terrible lesson of history: nations do not only go to war with armies. Sometimes they go to war with children who still think they are playing. Act One begins with Stephen Lishinsky arriving at Miami Military Academy, a bright Pennsylvania kid who volunteered for the brochure version of honor and discipline. What he finds is a parade field, a dying commandant, a school already being swallowed by the future, and two cadets handcuffed to a howitzer before morning formation. Inside “A” Company, Lishinsky meets the boys who will become his education. Slouch is a Brooklyn-bred survivor with a cigarette in his mouth, a wound behind every joke, and a talent for turning trouble into currency. Bebop is a Cuban refugee carrying the murder of his father and the dream of taking his country back. Wheeler is an eleven-year-old officer with a sword too large for his body and a hunger for command. Sally Barnes is the commandant’s daughter, back from wherever she ran, driving straight through the gates with all the fury of someone returning to a home that has already become a ghost. And then there is Commander Patterson, a decorated Navy veteran, drunk, wounded, funny, dangerous, and still trying, in his broken way, to protect boys the world has already thrown away. The academy is collapsing. The boys know it. The adults know more than they are saying. Castro is on the news. Cuban exiles are moving in the shadows. The old munitions bunkers are not empty. And when Slouch pockets a key marked Bunker 3, military school stops being a game and starts becoming the first draft of a war story. RECALL is about loyalty, damage, sacrifice, performance, class, country, boyhood, and the machinery that turns fear into patriotism. It is about the lie adults tell boys when they call obedience honor, and the moment those boys discover the rifles are real. Starring Alan Rosenberg, Carson Bolde, Stone Garcia, Wesley Kimmel, Dan Lauria, Kensington Tallman, Roxton Garcia, Bruce Davison, Luca Diaz, Amari O’Neil, Amir O’Neil, David Errigo Jr., Zeke Alton, Gian Franco Rodriguez, Miki Yamashita, Nemil Mudvari, Sofia D’Marco, and Ashley Ciarra.
