C dans l'air du 19 septembre 2026 - Carburants, corruption, guerres : Trump à secLes relations entre Paris et Washington connaissent une nouvelle période de tension. Après des critiques françaises visant une position américaine à l'ONU, les États-Unis avaient bloqué l'agrément du nouvel ambassadeur français à Washington, Aurélien Lechevallier. Pour débloquer la situation, Paris a finalement publié un message exprimant ses « regrets ». L'agrément a depuis été accordé. Emmanuel Macron adopte également un ton plus affirmé sur les grands dossiers internationaux. Il se rend à Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon pour rencontrer le Premier ministre canadien Mark Carney. Cette rencontre intervient dans un contexte de tensions avec Washington, mais aussi de rapprochement entre la France et le Canada. Les deux dirigeants doivent notamment renforcer leur coopération dans plusieurs secteurs stratégiques et réaffirmer leur attachement à la souveraineté des États. Aux États-Unis, une autre polémique concerne Donald Trump Jr. Le Russe Umar Kremlev a financé plusieurs festivités liées à son mariage aux Bahamas, pour plusieurs centaines de milliers de dollars selon l'enquête de ProPublica. Donald Trump Jr. et son épouse ont confirmé certains de ces paiements. Donald Trump a ensuite déclaré que son fils comptait rembourser les sommes. En France, la colère monte également chez les pêcheurs face à la hausse du prix du gazole. Pour une profession très dépendante du carburant, l'augmentation des coûts pèse directement sur la rentabilité des sorties en mer. Face à la mobilisation, le gouvernement a porté l'aide au carburant à 35 centimes par litre et l'a prolongée jusqu'à la fin décembre 2026. Les relations entre la France et les États-Unis sont-elles en train de se détériorer durablement ? Le rapprochement entre Macron et Mark Carney marque-t-il une nouvelle stratégie diplomatique française ? Pourquoi la hausse du prix du gazole frappe-t-elle aussi durement les pêcheurs ?Nos experts :- Christine OCKRENT - Journaliste et productrice de l'émission “Affaires étrangères” sur France Culture - Richard WERLY - Journaliste éditorialiste international au quotidien suisse Blick - Corentin SELLIN - Professeur agrégé d'histoire et spécialiste des États-Unis - Yara RIZK - Journaliste économique et financière, rédactrice en chef adjointe à CFNewsPRESENTATION : Caroline Roux - Aurélie Casse - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40.PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM :https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

Joe McNamara sits in for Elliot Berman this week alongside John Byrne. Joe and John discuss the Senate vote that failed to advance the Clarity Act, the interagency proposal to rescind and replace third-party risk management guidance, and the CJEU ruling on Latvia's public shareholder disclosure law and what it signals for beneficial ownership transparency. They also cover the DOJ indictment of a Russian intelligence services network, the Manhattan DA's seizure of 12 deepfake websites and the payment infrastructure behind them, Transparency International's analysis of seven years of EU rule of law reporting, and OFAC's designation of VTB Bank under Operation Economic Outcast. They close with CSIS's look at the terrorism landscape 25 years after 9/11, the shift toward lone actor threats, and the underused potential of 314(a) and 314(b) information sharing.

C dans l'air du 18 septembre 2026 - France, Pologne, Allemagne : veillée d'armes face à Poutine La Russie va-t-elle frapper bientôt un pays de l'Otan ? La Pologne tire la sonnette d'alarme. Selon le Premier ministre Donald Tusk, des services de renseignement auraient identifié des préparatifs russes prévoyant des frappes « hybrides » de drones et de missiles contre les alliés de Kiev en Europe, y compris en Pologne. En France, une réunion a été organisée au pied levé à l'Élysée. Le président de la République y a convié les chefs de partis et les candidats à la présidentielle pour évoquer « la dégradation rapide de la situation internationale ». Au menu : la guerre en Ukraine et au Moyen-Orient, avec ses conséquences en France. Autour du président de la République et du Premier ministre, les autorités militaires et les services de renseignement étaient chargés de livrer aux candidats les derniers éléments importants et très sensibles. « La menace hybride russe, ces dernières semaines, s'est intensifiée », la « nature de l'agressivité russe et des menaces en Europe change », a prévenu Emmanuel Macron par la suite lors d'une conférence de presse, expliquant avoir demandé la préparation d'un « plan de protection de nos infrastructures critiques ». « Ce qui ne s'est pas passé à Leipzig aurait pu se passer dans n'importe quelle ville européenne. » Cela ne restera pas « sans réponse », a ajouté le chef de l'État.Embourbé depuis plus de quatre ans dans sa guerre contre l'Ukraine, Vladimir Poutine pourrait-il choisir d'attaquer un pays de l'Otan ? Quelle réponse face à la guerre hybride menée par la Russie ? Sabotages, cyberattaques, désinformation, survols de drones… La Russie multiplie ces derniers temps les opérations et attaques sur le Vieux continent. Mais l'ombre du kremlin plane aussi sur les États-Unis. Jusqu'où les réseaux russes peuvent-ils infiltrer le territoire américain et tenter d'y étendre leur influence ? La justice américaine vient d'inculper cinq agents russes présumés, soupçonnés d'avoir agi au sein d'un réseau mondial chargé de "recruter des citoyens américains et des ressortissants étrangers pour commettre des meurtres à la demande du Kremlin", et des projets d'attentats contre des infrastructures en Europe. Les cinq suspects sont en fuite.Autre affaire qui fait polémique : le mariage de Donald Trump Jr. aux Bahamas. Selon plusieurs médias américains, une partie des festivités aurait été financée par Umar Kremlev, un oligarque russe proche de Vladimir Poutine. Ces révélations ont déclenché des interrogations à Washington et une demande d'enquête au Congrès sur les éventuels risques de contre-ingérence étrangère.Et face à Moscou, le Congrès américain vient justement de franchir une étape importante. Après un vote du Sénat en août, la Chambre des représentants a adopté le 16 septembre, par 262 voix contre 159, un vaste projet de sanctions visant notamment les responsables russes, les banques, le secteur énergétique et les réseaux permettant de contourner les sanctions. Le texte prévoit également la possibilité d'imposer jusqu'à 100 % de droits de douane aux principaux acheteurs d'énergie russe. Il est désormais sur le bureau de Donald Trump. Reste une question : le président américain va-t-il promulguer ce texte et surtout, jusqu'où ira-t-il dans son application ?Nos experts :- Lucas MENGET - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales- Patricia ALLEMONIERE - grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales- Alexandra SAVIANA - rédactrice en chef adjointe secret-défense à l'Express- Vincent CROUZET - expert en renseignement, ancien espion de la DGSE, auteur de "La marque des esclaves" aux éditions de l'Animal

Steve Schmidt returns to the Daily Beast Podcast to discuss the mounting political and ethical scandals surrounding Donald Trump, JD Vance, and the president's inner circle as the midterm elections approach. Speaking with Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty, Schmidt takes aim at the alleged corruption surrounding Donald Trump Jr.'s Russian-linked wedding, the kidnapping of Ukrainian children, and the Trump administration's handling of the war in Iran. He lays out his vision for how Democrats should use congressional power to restore checks and balances, hold officials like Pete Hegseth accountable, and investigate the administration's actions. Schmidt also weighs in on the Democratic candidates to watch, the growing backlash against MAGA, and the economic pressures threatening to reshape the political landscape. #ad Ready to reach your goals?

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss whether this week's Supreme Court intervention rejecting Trump's mail-in ballot restrictions will prevent midterm chaos, explore the fast-evolving dynamics of public and political anxieties about AI, and dissect remarkable new reporting from ProPublica exposing the Putin-adjacent Russian oligarch who paid for much of Donald Trump Jr.'s private island wedding.Here are this week's chatters: Emily: New podcast Examined: The Backfire Effect, by Josie Duffy Rice; Supremacy: How Rule by the Court Replaced Government by the People by Nikolas Bowie and Daphna Renan John: Wild Card with Rachel Martin (NPR): John Dickerson says doubt only helps to solidify his faith; Derek DelGaudio's In & Of Itself (Trailer on YouTube) (Streaming on Hulu); Linda Holmes for NPR: 'In & Of Itself' Is A Study Of Identity And Magic; AMORALMAN: A True Story and Other Lies by Derek DelGaudio David: Colin from Accounts on Paramount Plus; Daniel Wu for The Washington Post: Pollution spikes after Trump halted global air-monitoring efforts, report says Listener chatter from Julian Ozen in Brooklyn, NY: Ordinary Abundance For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss what California Gov. Gavin Newsom told Jake Tapper about running for president in 2028. They discuss the signaling work of the fly-fishing tableau, what Newsom is really saying about Harris, and whether there's an appetite in the Democratic party for either of them to run. In the latest Gabfest Reads, David Plotz talks with John Lanchester about his new novel, Look What You Made Me Do, a darkly funny psychological thriller about two couples in modern-day London whose lives collide in a story of infidelity, obsession, and revenge. The book explores the performance of niceness, class, intergenerational frictions and how technology makes vengeance not just possible but almost exceedingly easy in the modern age.

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - SEASON 5 EPISODE 6 A Block (SPECIAL COMMENT): We're actually under-reacting to the threat from A.I. because it is not just 'A.I. Will Kill Us All' - it is 'TRUMP'S A.I. Will Kill Us All.' Trump is up to his each of his 27 chins in his own investments in A-I; for all we know he's also thinking A-I might fix the midterms for him; humanity is at risk because Trump and his idiot sons and his cabinet members and his foreign fixers and everybody in the Epstein Files and the whole kaleidoscope of corruption is thinking about one thing only - not how to protect mankind but how to protect their money. Humanity is at risk, because Artificial intelligence is meeting Trump's total LACK of intelligence Also: when Trump's SkyNet gains sentience it will get U.S. weapons in space to use against us. And remember the Epstein Files? Trump Junior's new wife mainlines back not just to Putin's flunkies but to one of Epstein's bankers: her own father. Speaking of Putin's flunkies: Putin is why the National Hockey League must ban its all time leading goal scorer. And the 60 Minutes ratings are in – they’re down 21% so it’ll now be called 47 MINUTES. Well done CBS – The Conservative Brainwashing System. B-Block (40:00) THE RETURN OF THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The latest in the endless parade of football quarterbacks and TV pitchmen, Arch Manning, recommends and busts out laughing at an AI video of his college coach knocking a woman reporter to the ground. Another Michigan Republican candidate thinks God is sending him messages for Dan Bongino. Lee Greenwood's latest business deal with Trump: his wife is gonna be an Ambassaduh. And Kash Patel leading the FBI: the Federal Bestiality Investigators? C-Block (58:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The terrible truth about TV newscasters and the real draw of the profession for many of them - the free hair care. The whole thing clarified itself to me when I discovered that the gifted craftsman who cut my hair when I was in radio in 1980 is still working and is still a gifted craftsman.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Brown was honored with a congressional record at a concert in Dallas by Rep Jasmine Crockett and Texas State Rep Venton Jones. It has become a debacle after outraged victims of domestic abuse spoke out against Mr. Brown, who infamously beat Rihanna and other romantic partners. Rep Jones has apologized while Crockett is standing on business–this is an excellent moment to educate about OPTICS (and talk about who deserves forgiveness). ProPublica has reported that Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding was secretly bankrolled by a Russian oligarch close to president Putin. Don Jr. and his new wife Bettina admitted to everything, and said they don’t understand why it’s a big deal... Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 149 of Native Land Pod.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles look at Donald Trump's escalating battles with the Supreme Court, the collapse of the Kennedy Center under his control, and his increasingly aggressive response to the AI debate, where Trump has declared that “whoever wins AI wins” while threatening critics and accusing them of conspiracy. They also examine Trump's rollback of climate protections, his approach to conflict as a political strategy, and the extraordinary allegations surrounding Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding and its Russian connections. Plus, Trump's threat against Oman, the consequences of burning through missile supplies in Iran, Jared Kushner's transformation of American diplomacy into a business operation, and what a post-Trump administration could look like if Democrats make major gains in the midterms. #ad Unlock your best hair & skin with @iRestorelaser and HUGE savings on iRESTORE with code BEAST  at https://irestore.com/BEAST! #irestorepod  Learn more about your ad choices.

Macklemore ruins the Ed Sheeran Tour after onstage ‘Free Palestine' statements, Emmy 2026 show was cringy, no death penalty for Nick Reiner, Tom Cruise recruiting Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce, Donald Trump Jr's free wedding reception, and diarrhea chick has disgusted the whole internet. Don't forget to check out Dave Landau's special… for free! Tickets may still available to see J Chris Newberg in Royal Oak on Friday. Drew really wants more YouTube subscribers. Facebook: The social site is tossing some coin to people who have a lot of Facebook followers. Ryan Ermanni has a lot of followers. Tom Mabe had some epic pranks on FB. Everybody is saying AI is going to kill us. Emmys: Kate Jackson looked a bit different. Stephen Colbert won an Emmy last night for his show that isn't really good. Matthew Rhys won an award and totally snubbed his wife, Keri Russell. Widow's Bay won and only Marc has heard of or seen it. Jamie Lee Curtis cried about Rob Reiner. Michael J. Fox showed up and made people sad (BranDon claims his greatest movie ever is The Frighteners). Sally Field won and said a bunch of nothing. DJ Khaled's hatred of cunnilingus was mentioned in jest. Macklemore has stirred the hornet's nest recently, putting Ed Sheeran in a pickle. Rashida Tlaib weighs in on the topic and is furious with Sheeran. Macklemore has worn some questionable costumes on stage in the past. Every other musician has bailed on the tour in support of Macklemore. Kanye West can still perform in NFL Stadiums. The city of Dearborn invites Macklemore to perform a free concert. Tom Cruise: The actor attempted to recruit Taylor Swift into Scientology while attending Monday Night Football. Tom Cruise did an interview with GQ in which Suri or Scientology were never brought up... but his base tries to squeak in there. Joanna Wietrzyk has the most widely covered diarrhea story in the world right now. Nick Reiner will NOT get the death penalty for slaughtering his famous parents. Alan Jackson needs more money to help Nick. Fraser Bohm is a bad dude but Alan Jackson is really good at being a lawyer. Lindsay Clancy juror, Paula Devlin, LOVES doing interviews. The Clancy copycat is looking to get off too. Turtleboy doxxed the holdout juror. Kevin Costner has a new hot piece of ass. Hey Dennis Franz... why you look the same? Machine Gun Kelly is plowing into Dakota Johnson now. Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson got a free wedding. Must be nice. Markleverse: Meghan and Harry are living at a "friend's" house because they can't pay for anything. The couple are asking for privacy... while posting their location on social media all the time. Their security fears are absolutely ludicrous. Meghan is already wanting to move back to LA. Drew is crossing his fingers that Markle loses at the Daytime Emmys next month. Our thoughts are as always with Grandpa Thomas. Some chick got nude and hardcore on a flight from Baltimore to Miami. Update: Things are still going bad for Ed Sheeran. Thanks a lot, Ben Haggerty. AOC has piled on as well. We learn that Macklemore is not gay. Rosie O'Donnell has thoughts about the schedule. Colin Kaepernick is making the rounds again. Jim's Top Ten is brand-new tomorrow! Don't forget to check out Dave Landau's special… for free! Merch is available if you want to rep the show. You'd look amazing too. If you'd like to help support the show… consider subscribing to our YouTube Channel, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (Drew Lane, Marc Fellhauer, Trudi Daniels, Jim Bentley, BranDon, and Roberto).

Trump dismisses the AI CEOs at Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI who are calling for a "global slowdown" of AI development, saying the only government regulation the industry needs is a "high IQ" president. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett break down the "sick conspiracy" claim the administration and tech investors have leveled at AI makers, the recent developments that united Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk, and the chances that meaningful AI regulation could pass before the election or in a lame-duck Congress. Then they turn to AI's impact on the 2028 presidential election, a Russian oligarch's unusual involvement in Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding festivities, and the worst Republicans on and off the ballot in Texas. Then, Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, stops by the studio to talk to Jon about her new book, "How to Eat an Elephant."Hate listening to ads?

CAPTION  1914 BERLIN BANK RUNCONTENTS-JBS-9-15Federal Reserve Rate Hikes And AILiz Peek expects the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates by 25 basis points due to persistent inflation stuck between 3% and 3.5%. While U.S. economic fundamentals remain strong—with GDP growth exceeding 4% and robust consumer spending—rising diesel fuel prices over $6 per gallon are driving broader price increases across businesses. Refinery constraints and global energy pressures continue to exacerbate these cost headwinds. Regarding artificial intelligence, Peek argues that data center concerns and job loss fears are overstated, though emerging self-generating AI capabilities warrant self-regulation rather than Congressional intervention. (1)Iranian Proxy Warfare Disrupts Regional SecurityJonathan Schanzer analyzes how Iranian proxy strategy is disrupting regional security by targeting Persian Gulfenergy infrastructure. The Houthis have seized key Yemeni Red Sea territory including Mocha, while Iraqi militias shut down Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, restricting global oil flows. Desperate for military support, Saudi Arabia has engaged with regional partners and Israel. Meanwhile in Lebanon, the Israeli military continues dismantling Hezbollah's underground infrastructure, though political dysfunction in Beirut hampers government control over liberated areas. In Gaza, permanent stabilization remains tied to the difficult task of disarming Hamas through military power. (2)German Populism Politics And Monetary PolicyJoseph Sternberg examines the electoral rise of Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in Saxony-Anhalt, highlighting concerns over unpurged neo-Nazi elements within its leadership. While France's Marine Le Pen cleaned up her party's extremist image, the AfD retains radical elements, yet attracts frustrated voters in East Germany due to immigration and economic grievances. Sternberg also notes JD Vance's controversial alignment with European right-wing parties. Turning to economics, Sternberg discusses the Federal Reserve under Kevin Warsh considering a rate hike amid global bond selloffs, rising long-term yields, persistent inflation, and low-growth fiscal challenges in Britain. (3)European Energy Costs And German PoliticsJudy Dempsey and Thaddeus McCotter analyze European energy vulnerabilities and German political turmoil. Global diesel shortages and rising fuel prices are straining European economies and driving inflation, while U.S. aid to Ukrainehas dropped by 99%. President Trump requested Ukraine cease targeting Russian refineries, though Kyiv lacks sufficient air defenses. In Germany, Chancellor Friedrich Merz faces severe pressure over long-overdue economic reforms alongside electoral gains by the far-right AfD in Saxony-Anhalt and upcoming state elections. Meanwhile, Polandexperiences growing anti-Ukrainian sentiment, and Germany's military is shifting focus toward protecting Ukrainianinfrastructure. (4)Trump Family Ties To Russian OperativesCraig Unger details a ProPublica investigation revealing that Umar Kremlev, head of the International Boxing Association and associate of Vladimir Putin, funded hundreds of thousands of dollars for Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding parties. Kremlev has ties to Russian organized crime, Putin's security apparatus, and an organization linked to kidnapping Ukrainian children. Unger explains that Russian organized crime operates as an arm of state security. Reviewing historical ties dating back to 1980 KGB fronts and 2016 campaign contacts with GRU associates, Unger highlights major ethical and constitutional concerns regarding the Trump family's financial gains. (5)Nuclear Deterrence And Russian Coercive ThreatsPeter Huessy examines Vladimir Putin's routine use of nuclear threats as weapons of blackmail, coercion, and "reflexive control" to deter NATO involvement in Ukraine. Grounded in a 1999 decree authorizing low-yield tactical nuclear weapons, Putin's rhetoric treats nuclear employment as a political instrument despite the catastrophic economic and human consequences of any nuclear detonation. Huessy emphasizes that nuclear use constitutes criminality rather than strategy. To counter Russian coercion, the U.S. maintains strong extended nuclear deterrence through visible bomber deployments in allied nations and modernizing sea-launched cruise missile systems to ensure long-term stability. (6)Midterm Politics Policies And Economic RealitiesThaddeus McCotter evaluates midterm election dynamics, pointing to low presidential approval ratings and a 7% gap favoring Democrats. He criticizes President Trump's proposed $5,000 dividend tied to maintaining a Republicanmajority as an un-Republican, redistributionist scheme that undermines fiscal discipline during high inflation. McCotter notes that combining cash injections with demands for Federal Reserve rate cuts will likely guarantee interest rate hikes. High gas ($4.59) and diesel ($6.09) prices continue fueling voter discontent. Furthermore, McCotter lambasts asking Ukraine to stop attacking Russian refineries as prioritizing campaign optics over existential defense realities. (7)Narrative History And The Western TraditionAllen Guelzo, co-author with James Hankins of the two-volume The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition, emphasizes the crucial role of narrative history. Guelzo notes a one-third decline in college history majors over fifteen years, driven by employment anxieties and hyper-professionalized academic specialization that neglects broader historical storytelling. Using historical examples like Gettysburg and Thermopylae, he illustrates how core civilizational ideas about freedom, human nature, and the pursuit of truth inspire human flourishing. Guelzo highlights the resilience of Western civilization, which routinely undergoes cultural renaissances following major historical crises. (8)

Day 1,661.Today, the Danish Prime Minister condemns the latest ‘reckless action' by Moscow, after a Russian frigate in the Baltic Sea fired flares at a military helicopter. NATO jets were also in action last night, shooting down a drone over Lithuania.
