For a decade, Australian reporter Keith Dalton was a freelance foreign radio and newspaper correspondent stationed in the Philippines. Keith Dalton has written two books about his experiences overseas. 

Is this the end for Viktor Orbán - the Godfather of European authoritarianism?Nick Cohen talks to Hugarian author, journalist and politician Zsuzsanna Szelényi about the the upcoming Hungarian election on April 12th, where Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party faces a significant challenge from the opposition Tizsa party led by Péter Magyar. Could this - at last - be the end for the role model for Donald Trump and the rest of the authoritarian right?Over the last 16 years, Orbán has shown the radical right how to eat out a democracy and fashion an authoritarian state from what remains. He's created a game plan for the AfD, Reform UK and the Rassemblement National to follow to take and hold power through the manipulation of think tanks, corruption, state capture of institutions and the media and electoral manipulation. Trump has proved to be an avid student of Orbán''s methodsZsuzsanna Szelényi, a former Hungarian politician and author of "Tainted Democracy," explains how Orbán transformed from a liberal politician in the 1990s to an authoritarian leader who controls the media, civil service, and state resources through corruption and conspiracy theories. Nick's and Zsuzsanna's discussion highlights Orbán's cosy relationship with Vladimir Putin despite Hungary's historical opposition to Russian influence, - not least when it fell under Soviet Union control between 1945-1989 - and examines how Orbán's regime has spread disinformation about Ukraine and the financier George Soros while using state resources to fund a global network of conservative think tanks. Their chat concludes with Szelényi expressing hope for Orbán's defeat in the upcoming election, though she acknowledges that even if Fidesz loses, Hungary would face a complex transition period as the country seeks to emerge from Orbán's 16-year authoritarian rule.Read all about it!Zsuzsanna Szelényi @ZSzelenyi is the author of #TaintedDemocracy Director, Democracy Institute Leadership Academy, former Hungarian MP, Richard von Weizsäcker Fellow at RBA, Europe's Future Fellow IWM.Nick Cohen's @NickCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

Part Three of "How to Stand Up to a Dictator" shows us that resistance is a series of choices made by ordinary people who believe truth is worth defending. The fight for democracy begins with people who refuse to look away. Please review, share, and like.

Donald Trump says he's liberated the people of Iran to forge their own future, after killing their autocratic leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But as the bombing continues and any organised resistance struggles to emerge, is this ethnically diverse land, with thousands of years of history, at risk of breaking up or descending into sectarian division? Nahid Siamdoust of the University of Texas specialises in the politics and culture of the Middle East. She's also part of the Iranian diaspora.Acclaimed journalist Robin Wright of The New Yorker covered Iran from the start of the 1979 revolution, which brought the first ayatollah, Ruhollah Khomeini, to power.  She's sceptical that the United States and Israel can bring change through aerial bombardment.As the regime in Iran fell, a handful of Shia Muslim communities in Australia went into mourning for the Ayatollah, drawing criticism from New South Wales premier Chris Minns. Khamenei was a brutal autocrat, but he was also a spiritual leader to many Shi'ites. Is it the role of the state to decide who a religious community can mourn?  Dr Renae Barker specialises in law and religion at the University of Western Australia law.

Nigel Baker: When Teams Slowly Decay by Anointing a Hidden Dictator Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "The world won't end with a bang, but with a whimper. My great fear is not teams exploding like a bomb—that shows they care. The big thing for me is teams that decay slowly." - Nigel Baker   Nigel shares a pattern he has witnessed repeatedly: teams that self-destruct not through dramatic conflict, but through a slow, quiet decay. Referencing The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni, he points to something even more insidious than inattention to results—teams that avoid taking responsibility for decision-making.  When teams struggle with self-organization, they often try to "self-organize themselves out of self-organization" by anointing a hidden dictator: the big brain, the big mouth, the tech lead, or the project manager who everyone secretly defers to. Nigel offers two practical tools to counter this pattern.  First, the "yes and" technique from improv comedy—instead of taking ownership away from team members, you accept their idea and add to it, keeping the ownership where it belongs.  Second, Socratic questioning, where instead of passing knowledge from you to them, you help them pass knowledge from themselves to themselves. But Nigel adds an important caution: the Agile community has swung too far into pure coaching mode. Sometimes people genuinely need help, not therapy—they need to know which server the files are on, not a deep coaching question about their feelings.   In this segment, we talk about Paul Goddard's work on improv comedy in Agile, and the power of the "yes and" technique for keeping ownership with teams.   Self-reflection Question: Is your team quietly deferring all decisions to one person, and if so, what practical steps can you take to redistribute that ownership? Featured Book of the Week: Leading Self-Directed Work Teams by Kimball Fisher Nigel's book recommendations reflect his belief that the most inspiring ideas come from adjacent fields rather than Agile literature itself. Leading Self-Directed Work Teams by Kimball Fisher stands out because it explores similar principles to the Scrum Master role but without any Agile jargon—showing how a completely different industry arrived at the same insights about empowered teams. Nigel also recommends the Strategyzer books by Alex Osterwalder, including Business Model Generation and Testing Business Ideas, for the business thinking that coaches need but rarely pick up at work. Scrum Mastery by Geoff Watts remains his go-to foundational text for new Scrum Masters. And the book he waited 4.5 years for—until Amazon cancelled the pre-order—is the latest edition of The Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision Making by Sam Kaner, a deeply practical reference guide that gives real people real tools for real situations.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Trump is clearly bored of peace.  So bored. Shortly before the United States and Israel were poised to launch an attack on Iran later in the week, Israeli and American intelligence spotted, on Saturday morning local time, that the entire Iranian leadership including the Supreme Leader Ali Khamanei (and likely his son Mojtaba) as well as key IRGC commanders were going to meet to discuss the ongoing negotiations strategy in central Tehran. Hence, The United States and Israel therefore decided to adjust the timing of their planned attack and decapitate most of the country's leadership. So now, the entire Middle East is at war, Trump has practiced another regime decapitation operation without Congressional approval and Iran has rained down missiles across the Sunni Gulf and Israel killing civilians and targeting key infrastructure like airports and tourist hotels.  Jane and Jason ask why, when and how? Is this whole thing just a disorderly distraction from Trump's appearance in the Epstein files and his desire to give Pam Bondi cover for her ongoing coverup? Jason thinks that is the primary motivation. Jane and Jason agree that Trump is unlikely to have an end game and that regime change has never worked solely via airpower and that even with a popular uprising that may now emerge, the situation could resemble Libya, which hasn't exactly had the greatest track record since Western airpower helped a popular uprising oust Qadhafi. As Jane and Jason try to Order the Disorder, they talk about solutions and where Europe, the UN, and regional allies could try to steer the region towards a more peaceful outcome. Critically, they discuss the issue of the lack of depth (i.e. America and Israel running out of missile interceptors) and how the political and military realms may interact to provide solutions and offramps, especially if the Gulfis and Europeans mediate. Time to head to the Omani Embassy in Geneva… that is my favourite place to be.

In keeping with its Donroe doctrine, the Republican Regime recently captured the president of Venezuela and ferreted him away in a New York prison to face charges on drug trafficking and weapons possession. Open flaunting of international law is now a thing as all of the guardrails are being tested in a full court attack on democratic institutions and international law and order. Welcome to 2026! I've taken some time off from producing content to catch up on some personal time, to do some reading and relaxing. Every time I start to write about some completely unprecedented issue, a new and more egregious one comes up. It is difficult to stay focussed, and that is the strategy ladies and gentlemen. This move is being justified in the right wing media echo chamber using many of the same arguments used by previous republican regimes to invade Iraq and topple Sadam Hussein. They tried to portray fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, despite evidence that a negligible fraction of US fentanyl comes from Venezuela. They claim it is immoral to suffer a socialist dictator. Apparently only capitalist dictators are allowed in the Republican morality.  It is widely known that Maduro fixed the election, imprisons his political opponents, and takes bribes from shady actors to enrich his family. These are all things Trump seeks to emulate. Lets dig into the spin, and the geopolitics and get a Rational View to understand what is really going on.

In Part 2 of How to Stand Up to a Dictator, Maria Ressa shares what happened in the Philippines as a blueprint for how democracies unravel, and how ordinary people can push back.Ressa makes the case that courage is necessary, silence is complicity, and defending democracy is an ongoing battle.

Quaker peace activist George Lakey has been singing freedom songs in the streets since the civil rights movement. Today, George says, as our democracy faces an existential threat, it is important that we look to other countries whose people have resisted autocrats and won. On this week's podcast episode we talk with George about those cases, and the nonviolent database he has helped to assemble which shows 39 recent cases of countries whose people nonviolently overthrew a dictator.

'Holy Schmidt! It's Friday!' With Jim Acosta Steve Schmidt is about to say something on air that stopped us cold — and we think it's going to stop you too. He's looked at what's sitting in the waters off Iran right now, the silence from Congress, the silence from the generals, the silence from every major network, and he's drawn a conclusion about what happens next that nobody in Washington is willing to say out loud. Before this show is over, he's going to ask the question that should be on every American's lips right now: What's the plan? And whose kids are coming home in boxes? That's not all. The Supreme Court just handed Trump a defeat on tariffs — and Schmidt says what's hidden behind the tariff door is something far darker than anyone is talking about. Plus, NBC News has obtained photos of the inside of a government jet that Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski have been using on your dime — and Schmidt has a name for it that you won't forget. All of that and more.

When politics feels broken, polarized, and paralyzed, what's the real solution? In this episode of That Trippi Show, Joe Trippi sits down with Nicholas Gruen to discuss an idea that could fundamentally reshape American democracy: citizens' assemblies chosen by democratic sortition — randomly selected Americans serving in a permanent civic body, similar to a jury. Could a “Citizen's House” reduce polarization, weaken special interests, and restore trust in government? From the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to the “America in One Room” experiment, this episode explores the evidence behind a model that may calm the chaos of modern politics. If Washington can't fix itself, can the people? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For this episode, we speak about the recent uprising in Iran that was met with bloody repression by the regime, with internet blackouts and low-ball estimates of 30,000 dead at government hands from January 8th and 9th 2026 alone. Aryanum speaks about the posturing by monarchists supporting the return and enthroning of Reza Pahlavi II, the son of the last Shah, and the weaponization of Islam by the Mullahs of the regime and other topics.

A weekly showdown where the hosts face five new “facts”—some real, some fake, all deeply questionable—and try to figure out which ones came from swoony supernatural‑romance energy and which ones came from the melodramatic diaries of actual dictators.This episode's theme: “Twilight Fan or Brutal Dictator?”Expect dramatic chest‑thrusting, overwrought metaphors, emotional damage poetry, philosophical takes no one asked for, and at least one world leader who maybe loved horses a little too much.If you enjoy chaotic guessing games, unhinged historical side quests, and quotes that make you whisper “there's no way a real person wrote that,” you're in the right place.#ComedyPodcast #FactOrFake #TwilightOrTyrant #HistoryGetsWeird

Dear Humans, Thanks for joining today as we covered one of the most surreal moments yet of this presidency. Republican President Epstein went on camera and actually said that Americans can't have guns, all while his masked gestapo uses their guns on Americans. It is their most hypocritical, most desperate defense yet. It's a hill they're going to lose on. Jesus and I also spend time reviewing how SNL, Kimmel, Colbert, and Jon Stewart responded to this latest horrific murder of a US citizen by Trump's government. You are not powerless. You are the reason that ICE shall be abolished. Remember that. Love, God

Please note: This episode was recorded on Friday, January 23 2026. Recently, Dog-Eared Books shared a reading list designed to help deepen our understanding of fascism, full of titles we believe are essential for thoughtful learning. We paired that list with a quote from George Orwell's 1984 as part of a window display at the store, and the response was overwhelming. Comments poured in from across the country and around the world. Today, we're taking a closer look at that reading list of both fiction and nonfiction books, and reflecting on why their ideas remain so urgent and important.

FILE 5. OPERATION BARBAROSSA AND THE DEFENSE OF MOSCOW. GUEST AUTHOR SEAN MCMEEKIN. McMeekin challenges the narrative that Stalin suffered a nervous breakdown during the 1941 German invasion, noting the dictator remained active despite the shock. The segment details how Stalin's decision to stay in Moscow stiffened morale and reveals that Stalin possessed, but did not share, intelligence regarding Japan's impending attacks on Western powers,.

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.1905 Shanghai

SEGMENT 11: TRUMP SEEKS CUBAN REGIME CHANGE Guest: Professor Evan Ellis (US Army War College) Ellis examines the Trump administration's push for regime change in Havana. Dictator Díaz-Canel faces collapsing conditions with no oil, no power, and a broken economy driving mass emigration. The Obama administration's engagement offered false hope; now Washington applies maximum pressure on the desperate regime.1898 BRUSSELS

Jack Smith's testimony so far. Donald's insane Davos remarks. Donald confused Greenland and Iceland, then Karoline Leavitt mixed them up in her response. Donald can't pronounce nation involved in a war he allegedly solved. Donald's Greenland/NATO deal is yet another re-brand of something that already existed. Prediction markets are ripe with insider trading. The bruise is back – but on his left hand. ICE memo says agents can enter homes with warrants. Some Democrats refuse to support funding bill that doesn't include restrictions on ICE. The Epstein story isn't going away. Ghislaine Maxwell will testify to Congress. With Jody Hamilton, David Ferguson, music by The Burnt Pines, Elijah Bone, and more! Brought to you by Russ Rybicki, SharePower Responsible Investing.

A president on camera says only his own morality can stop him. That single line sets the tone for a high-stakes hour where we track real-time war signals around Iran, interrogate the Greenland fantasy, and examine how power bends rules when no one close is willing to say no. We connect the dots between rhetoric, logistics, and escalating options—from sanctions and cyber operations to reports of potential strikes on non-military targets in Tehran—while reading the tea leaves of embassy closures, airspace changes, and force posture moves across the region. We also unpack the protest landscape inside Iran: genuine economic anger, contested casualty figures, and the fog of information operations that can turn small fires into regional infernos. If the United States acts without congressional authorization or public persuasion, it won't just risk a wider war; it will cement a template for executive overreach that future presidents will inherit. That same impulse shows up at home in the response to the ICE shooting in Minnesota, where dissent gets rebranded as disrespect and disrespect is treated like a crime. When loyalty becomes the yardstick for justice, constitutional limits become optional. Finally, we turn to the media arena. Dave Smith's blunt challenge to Dan Bongino raises a hard question: what happens when those who pledged to expose the “deep state” are accused of shielding it, especially on the Epstein saga? Independent platforms earn trust by pressing for receipts, not rehearsed talking points. Along the way we decode the Greenland push—why NATO already covers the threat it cites, and why chasing cartographic glory would shatter alliances without delivering strategic value. If you care about constitutional guardrails, Middle East stability, media accountability, and honest statecraft, this one's for you. Listen, share with a friend, and tell us where you draw the line—then hit follow so you don't miss what comes next.

Journalist Mariana Zúñiga woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of explosions and military planes in Caracas, Venezuela. Her WhatsApp chats flashed the news: The ruling dictator, Nicholás Maduro, had just been captured by the US military. She was surprised and felt uneasy about what was to come.In the days that followed, Zúñiga would go into the field, despite the dangers journalists face, to report on what the country feels like at this tumultuous moment. This week on Reveal, we speak with Venezuelans about witnessing this moment of history from up close and afar. For Freddy Guevara, an exiled Venezuelan opposition leader living in the US, there is little confidence in the country's new leadership. “They are not moderate at all,” Guevara says. “They are super radical, and they believe they are smarter than everyone.” And historian Alejandro Velasco explains the role Venezuela's most valuable resource—oil—has played in the country's history and relations with the US.

Donald Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota as Kristi Noem suggests U.S. citizens should be prepared to show proof of citizenship, escalating fears of authoritarian overreach. Trump also signals he wants any military action against Iran to be “swift and decisive,” while openly musing that the U.S. “shouldn't even have an election” when discussing the midterms.

The head pollster at Rasmussen says Americans are disgusted by fraud and corruption and like when Trump hits the gas and gets aggressive against the offenders. If he can root it out and Republicans can expose and stop the grift, the midterms will reflect that and Gen Z may return to the GOP tent. A Virginia democrat wants it made into law that public schools must teach that J6 was an insurrection and not a debate over a stolen election. A black man wakes up from his propaganda slumber.

The United States military successfully captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in a move that was a major win for both countries. Meanwhile, Democrats are condemning President Trump for taking out Maduro, despite the fact that they said he should do it for years. In the aftermath of Nick Shirley exposing Somalian day-care fraud in Minnesota, Democrat Gov. Tim Walz announces he will not seek re-election in 2026. Kyle Rittenhouse joins the show for a major announcement. ► Subscribe to "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered"! https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesUnfiltered?sub_confirmation=1Today's Sponsors: ► Cowboy Colostrum Head to https://www.CowboyColostrum.com/GONZALES and use code “GONZALES” at checkout for 25% off.

Guest: Gregory Copley. Following the precise U.S. tactical operation to abduct Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, the strategic focus has shifted to securing the hemisphere and managing oil access, though major companies currently prefer the easier reserves off Guyana over Venezuela's tapped-out infrastructure. Copley notes that while the raid was surgically successful, the lack of follow-up planning risks a messy, protracted conflict driven by Russian and Chineseinfluence, potentially damaging U.S. prestige if the new government does not quickly align with Washington.1925 GUYANA

SEASON 4 EPISODE 46: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Well, that's it in sum, isn't it? He's "El Presidente" now, isn't he? Military Dictator. Succeeding Maduro. Until he finds somebody else to “run” it. Not the elected Vice President. Not the actual winner of the last election. Not the U-N. Maybe somebody he, in his dysfunctional haze, somebody he can trust. Maybe an oil executive. Or Elon Musk. Or Catturd. The invasion was illegal there, and illegal here. The kidnapping was illegal. Declaring we would run it is illegal. Naming a proxy dictator is illegal. As was his threat yesterday to the acting president that quote “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro” and calling for her belief that her country shouldn’t be invaded by another country breaking its own laws is quote “defiant rejection.” THAT’S illegal. It’s all illegal. That’s a lot of illegal – even for Trump. And I say this, hating Maduro completely. So he needs to be impeached, if not now then a year from now. Rubio can be impeached now for deceiving Congress about its approval. And both of them turned over to the World Court. And the ramifications are almost uncountable, including emboldening them to consider this in Cuba, Greenland, Iran. The poll numbers are terrible, and the risk to Americans of terrorism and violence are just as terrible. And maybe worst of all the evidence of linkage between Putin's strange silence about his ally Maduro, and Trump's dithering about Ukraine, is terrible too. But at least it produced a pretty good Olivia Nuzzi joke. ALSO: WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE TRUMP HEALTH COVER-UP STORY AGAIN? Five significant changes, about his MRI/CT, his cardiovascular health, and now the total of Cognitive tests he's gotten in just the last nine months. Three? Not two? He's really needed three tests in nine months? To repeat the insightful question from his niece Mary Trump: Why do they have to keep giving him cognitive tests? B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: There's begging the new boss to let you keep your current job, then there's what CBS Legal Analyst Jan Crawford is doing for Bari Weiss to try to keep hers. Chuck Schumer comes out firing on Venezuela: with one-millionth of one barrel blazing. And just when you think Cheryl Hines can't get any dumber, Tucker Carlson tries to talk to her about vaccines. C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Will Ferrell did a great comedy bit at the L.A. Kings hockey game on New Year's Day and he did it for the pure joy of it.

LLOYD GEORGE AT THE BERGHOF Colleague Charles Spicer. In September 1936, Lloyd George traveled to Hitler's Alpine retreat, the Berghof, where he successfully charmed the dictator, who was delighted by the visit and the validation it offered.
