Podcast appearances and mentions of Emmanuel Macron

El 'Financial Times' informó que un diplomático europeo sentenció que el presidente de Francia, Emmanuel Macron, traicionó al canciller alemán, Friedrich Merz, al abandonar la idea de expropiar los activos rusos congelados. Dicho de otra forma, la clase política europea califica como 'traidor' a quien decide que robar no está bien.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has presented a draft agreement to end the war in Ukraine, after negotiations with US. It is now being reviewed by the Kremlin. The document includes security guarantees for Ukraine from the US, NATO and Europe, but President Zelensky says the question of ceding territory is still unresolved. Also: France, Germany and the European Union condemn a decision by the US to impose visa bans on the former EU commissioner Thierry Breton and four others involved in regulating tech companies. The French President Emmanuel Macron says the measures amount to "intimidation and coercion aimed at undermining European digital sovereignty". More than 100 people have been killed in the past two weeks in drone attacks in Sudan's South Kordofan region. The United Nations says it is alarmed by the growing use of drones by both Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

Voir la Joconde de Léonard de Vinci reste un passage obligé pour les touristes qui visitent Paris. Ils sont pourtant souvent déçus de ne pas pouvoir mieux l'observer, en raison de sa petite taille et de l'amas d'observateurs se prenant en selfie devant le tableau. Le 28 janvier, le Musée du Louvre et le chef de l'Etat, Emmanuel Macron, ont annoncé un vaste plan de rénovation pour améliorer l'accueil des 9 millions de visiteurs qui se rendent au Louvre chaque année. Le chantier prévoit une nouvelle entrée, et le déménagement de la Joconde dans une salle qui lui sera entièrement dédiée.Code source revient sur l'histoire du célèbre tableau de Léonard de Vinci avec Yves Jaeglé, journaliste au service culture du Parisien.Cet épisode a été diffusé pour la première fois le 17 février 2025.Écoutez Code source sur toutes les plates-formes audio : Apple Podcast (iPhone, iPad), Amazon Music, Podcast Addict ou Castbox, Deezer, Spotify.Crédits.

« La brouille entre les États-Unis et nous, c'est terminé », a déclaré lundi 22 décembre le ministre de l'Information du Nigeria, Mohammed Idris, qui a même annoncé un « partenariat renforcé ». Lors d'une conférence de presse, il s'est félicité également du niveau de coopération atteint entre son pays et la France. Le porte-parole du président Bola Tinubu faisait-il allusion aux événements du Bénin, le 7 décembre dernier ? Thomas Orimissan Akéré, président du Club des francophones du Nigeria, répond aux questions de RFI. RFI : Quand le ministre de l'Information du Nigeria, Mohamed Idriss, affirme que la brouille avec les États-Unis est résolue, est-ce que vous pensez qu'il a raison ou pas ? Thomas Orimissan Akéré : Il a certainement raison dans la mesure où le Nigeria a sollicité les États-Unis depuis 2014, après les enlèvements des filles de Chibok, au nord-est du Nigeria. Donc, on a toujours voulu avoir une coopération avec les États-Unis, avec les puissances étrangères qui pouvaient aider le Nigeria. Et aujourd'hui, les États-Unis sont certainement arrivés à cette conclusion que le gouvernement fédéral du Nigeria cherche à coopérer pour trouver une solution à ces problèmes de terrorisme et de banditisme au nord du Nigeria. Alors, en effet, une enquête de l'agence Reuters révèle que le conseiller à la sécurité nationale du Nigeria, Nuhu Ribadu, a rencontré le 20 novembre dernier le secrétaire d'État américain à la Défense, Pete Hegseth, et que depuis un mois, un avion de surveillance américain décolle tous les jours du Ghana pour aller survoler le Nigeria. Quel type de renseignement peut aller chercher cet avion pour le compte à la fois des États-Unis et du Nigeria ?  Étant donné que les États-Unis ont des moyens de renseignement qui sont plus importants que ceux du Nigeria, avec notamment les satellites et les mouvements dans la région, le Nigeria, depuis longtemps, a demandé donc des renseignements pour voir les mouvements des groupes terroristes. Ça peut être Boko Haram, ça peut être d'autres organisations terroristes. Il y a des groupes qui étaient déjà formés. Il y a aussi des groupes qui viennent de l'extérieur du Nigeria. Voulez-vous dire que les Américains aident les Nigerians à contrôler leur frontière nord avec le Niger ? Entre autres, oui. Ça peut être à l'intérieur du Nigeria. Ça peut être aussi le contrôle des frontières avec le Niger. Vous savez que c'est une région très poreuse. C'est pour cela que je regrette d'ailleurs que tous les pays de la région ne coopèrent pas, parce que ceux qui sont en train d'être chassés désormais depuis quelques jours maintenant du Nigeria, ils vont retourner de nouveau vers le Niger. Donc, il faut absolument une coopération globale dans la région pour pouvoir arriver à résoudre ces problèmes de mouvements et d'organisations terroristes. Alors, l'autre pays avec lequel coopère le Nigeria en ce moment, c'est ce qu'a dit le ministre de l'Information du Nigeria ce lundi, c'est la France. Quel est le type de partenariat sécuritaire entre les deux pays ?  Vous savez, nous sommes entourés par les pays francophones, donc ce sont des pays sur lesquels la France avait un certain pouvoir pour la sécurité, je vais dire dans cette région-là. D'ailleurs, la coopération avec la France ne date pas de Bola Tinubu. La coopération avec la France date de très longtemps et aussi bien la coopération économique que la coopération sécuritaire. Donc, à partir du moment où on sait que la France a une certaine aura sécuritaire dans la région, nous avons besoin de la France pour nous donner quelques renseignements dans cette région-là.  Le 7 décembre dernier, lors d'une tentative de putsch au Bénin, les armées du Nigeria et de la France sont intervenues en soutien au président Patrice Talon. Peut-on parler d'une action coordonnée entre Abuja et Paris ?  Je ne sais pas si l'action était coordonnée. Ce qui est sûr, c'est que le Nigeria ne pouvait pas laisser le Bénin dans les mains d'un régime militaire, alors qu'il connaissait déjà, à sa frontière nord, le régime militaire du Niger. Donc, le Nigeria ne voulait pas être entouré par des régimes militaires et il était de toute façon obligé d'intervenir au Bénin pour éviter cette hécatombe démocratique que nous avons dans la région.  Il y a deux ans, après le putsch de juillet 2023 au Niger, il y a eu un vrai différend entre le Français Emmanuel Macron, qui poussait à une intervention militaire au Niger, et le Nigerian Bola Tinubu, qui finalement a fait échouer cette opération. Est-ce qu'il y a toujours ce malentendu aujourd'hui entre messieurs Macron et Tinubu ?  Il faut savoir que l'intervention du Nigeria n'a pas pu avoir lieu au Niger, parce que le nom de la France a été utilisé par les autres régimes militaires au Burkina Faso, au Mali, pour dire attention, c'est la France qui veut intervenir. S'il n'y avait pas eu la France, s'il n'y avait pas eu le nom de la France, le Nigeria serait certainement intervenu pour aller rétablir au pouvoir le président Bazoum qui avait été élu à cette époque-là.  Alors, pourquoi le Nigeria n'est-il pas intervenu au Niger en 2023 ? Et pourquoi est-il intervenu au Bénin en 2025 ?  C'est qu'au Bénin, c'est différent. Au Bénin, c'est que le Nigeria était en danger parce que nous avons des relations économiques très poussées avec le Bénin. Beaucoup de Nigérians ont investi au Bénin et, si on prend le Bénin, on prend forcément le Togo avec. Et le Nigeria ne voulait pas que cette Cédéao soit aussi vite désintégrée, ce qui aurait mis le Nigeria aussi en danger. En termes de démocratie, il faut savoir que, depuis 1999, le Nigeria connaît un régime démocratique. J'ai l'habitude de dire que la démocratie n'est pas un produit fini. C'est un produit à améliorer constamment. Et le Nigeria améliore sa démocratie en termes d'avancées politiques et économiques.

Rendez-vous comme chaque mois avec la revue Esprit. Pierre-Edouard Deldique reçoit Anne Dujin, sa rédactrice en chef. Le numéro de décembre s'intitule « Démocratie, fin de partie ? », il analyse en profondeur la crise politique française et la fragilité des institutions démocratiques face à la montée des colères sociales et des tentations autoritaires. Ce dossier de la revue coordonné par Anne Dujin, part d'un événement déclencheur, véritable séisme : la dissolution ratée de juin 2024 décidée par le président Emmanuel Macron, qui a laissé un paysage politique fragmenté et un sentiment d'impuissance de l'État.   Les auteurs des différents articles soulignent notamment la dégradation du débat public marqué par la polarisation et la perte de confiance, la fatigue démocratique des citoyens qui se sentent dépossédés de leur pouvoir d'agir ou bien encore l'attaque des régimes démocratiques en Europe et aux États-Unis. Le dossier insiste sur la nécessité de réancrer le débat politique dans les conflits sociaux réels, plutôt que de laisser les institutions se vider de leur substance. Le titre « Démocratie, fin de partie ? » n'est donc pas une prophétie mais une mise en garde. Ce numéro d'Esprit s'inscrit dans la tradition critique de la revue : il ne se contente pas de dresser un constat mais cherche à réhabiliter la démocratie comme espace de conflit et de délibération. En posant la question « fin de partie ? », il rappelle que la démocratie n'est jamais acquise, mais toujours à défendre et à réinventer.   À écouter aussiLes banlieues françaises, ces oubliées, selon la revue Esprit

durée : 00:15:24 - Journal de 8 h - L'accord commercial avec les pays du Mercosur ne sera finalement pas signé ces jours-ci. La signature est reportée au mois de janvier. Fort d'un bref répit, Emmanuel Macron reste prudent pour la suite.

C dans l'air l'invité du 18 décembre 2025 avec Jean-Philippe Tanguy, député RN de la Somme. Il publie Rien n'est jamais écrit, aux éditions Robert Laffont.Des milliers d'agriculteurs européens sont venus manifester aujourd'hui à Bruxelles pour protester contre la politique agricole de l'UE, ciblant notamment l'accord de libre-échange avec le Mercosur, accusé de mettre en danger de nombreuses filières. "On est là pour dire non au Mercosur, surtout parce qu'on a l'impression qu'aujourd'hui, Ursula veut passer en force, elle veut imposer sa loi", a protesté Maxime Mabille, un producteur laitier belge, s'en prenant à la présidente de la Commission européenne Ursula von der Leyen.La manifestation est organisée le jour où les chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement des 27 se réunissent en sommet. L'exécutif européen et le Brésil - pays qui préside cette alliance l'associant à l'Argentine, au Paraguay et à l'Uruguay - insistent pour parapher avant la fin de la semaine un accord commercial en négociations depuis un quart de siècle, qui créerait la plus grande zone de libre-échange au monde. "Nous ne sommes pas prêts, le compte n'y est pas pour signer cet accord", a affirmé jeudi le président français Emmanuel Macron depuis Bruxelles.Jean-Philippe Tanguy répondra notamment à nos questions sur la colère agricole.

L'actualité qui a retenu l'attention de La Loupe cette semaine, c'est le Conseil européen crucial qui se tient actuellement. Au menu de cette réunion des 27, d'abord l'Ukraine : une décision sur les avoirs russes gelés est très attendue. Face aux Européens, Emmanuel Macron va également défendre la position de la France concernant le Mercosur. Et, plus discrètement, les dirigeants de l'Union devront se mettre d'accord sur leurs dépenses à venir entre 2028 et 2034. Un cadre financier essentiel pour définir les grandes priorités de l'Europe.

C dans l'air l'invité du 17 décembre 2025 avec Xavier Bertrand, président LR de la région Hauts-de-France et du mouvement Nous France. Il publie Rien n'est jamais écrit, aux éditions Robert Laffont.Le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu a tenu deux réunions de crise hier au sujet de la contestation agricole, cristallisée par la gestion de la dermatose nodulaire contagieuse et le Mercosur. La contestation s'est poursuivie aujourd'hui, notamment dans le Sud-Ouest, au huitième jour de mobilisation des agriculteurs. Plusieurs axes routiers et ferroviaires font l'objet de blocage à l'appel des syndicats Coordination rurale et Confédération paysanne. Hier, quelque 75 actions ont été recensées par le ministère de l'Intérieur.Pour tenter de désamorcer la colère des agriculteurs, le gouvernement promet une accélération de la vaccination dans le Sud-Ouest contre la dermatose nodulaire contagieuse, avec 750 000 bovins supplémentaires ciblés et le recours à des vétérinaires militaires. Concernant l'accord avec le Mercosur, le président de la République Emmanuel Macron a déclaré aujourd'hui que "la France s'opposerait de manière très ferme" à un éventuel "passage en force" de l'Union européenne.Xavier Bertrand, président LR de la région Hauts-de-France, et du mouvement Nous France est notre invité. À 60 ans, il publie son premier livre, « Rien n'est jamais écrit », aux éditions Robert Laffont, dans lequel il se positionne comme candidat pour 2027. Il réagira à la colère des agriculteurs, lui qui s'était joint à des manifestations contre le traité de libre échange avec le Mercosur. Il reviendra également sur ses engagements politiques, lui qui a été maire de Saint-Quentin, puis ministre à plusieurs reprises. Comment analyse-t-il les désaccords dans sa famille politique quant au front républicain face au RN, lui qui s'est toujours opposé à une union avec l'extrême-droite. "L'union des droites, non, c'est l'union de la droite avec l'extrême droite", avait-il dit sur France Inter.

Les tempêtes s'accumulent au-dessus de la tête de l'exécutif. Le budget n'est toujours pas bouclé et s'ajoute à cela la colère agricole. Les agriculteurs se mobilisent contre la méthode du gouvernement pour venir à bout de la dermatose nodulaire et contre le Mercosur. Un mouvement de protestation soutenu par le RN et Jordan Bardella qui, malgré une mauvaise séquence dans les médias, reste sur sa lancée sondagière.

More slop but hey it's detailed. That's nice. 00:25 – Hanukkah, Bondi and a terror attackJoel (Jack the Insider) opens the Christmas‑eve episode by recounting the Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach that turned into a mass‑shooting, with 16 dead including Holocaust survivor Alex Kleitman and 10‑year‑old Matilda.​He notes that one gunman, Sajid Akram, was killed and his son Naveed faces 59 charges including 15 murders and a terrorism offence, while funerals proceed under a cloud of grief.​02:05 – Anti‑Semitic threats and the rise of Jew hatredThe Jacks detail an anti‑Semitic threat on a Virgin Australia flight from Denpasar to Sydney, where a 19‑year‑old allegedly made violent gestures and threats toward a Jewish passenger.​They discuss how contemporary anti‑Semitism in Australia and the West feels broader and deeper than before, increasingly visible on progressive and left‑wing fringes as well as the far right.​04:55 – Jenny Leong's “tentacles” remark and Greens politicsJoel quotes NSW Greens MLC Jenny Leong's 2023 comments about the “Jewish lobby” and “Zionist lobby” having “tentacles” infiltrating community groups, likening the rhetoric to classic Nazi tropes in Der Stürmer.​Jack notes Leong is part of NSW's hard‑left “watermelon” Greens and argues such language shows how anti‑Jewish narratives have crept into mainstream progressive politics in Australia, the UK and the US.​07:25 – Apologies, anti‑Zionism and the limits of definitionsThey note Leong apologised two months later for “poor choice of words” with anti‑Semitic implications, but Joel says the tentacle imagery hung “like a bad smell” over public debate.​The Jacks criticise semantic wrangling over definitions of anti‑Semitism and suggest calling much of it what it plainly is: old‑fashioned Jew hatred, often masked as anti‑Zionism.​10:25 – Who failed after 7 October? Government responses under fireJack argues federal and state leaders failed from “October 8th on” by not responding strongly enough to anti‑Jewish rhetoric and protests, suggesting Labor tried to balance Jewish concerns against Western Sydney Muslim votes.​Joel pushes back, citing Sean Carney's column outlining how Naveed Akram's jihadist associations, ASIO assessments and gun‑licence decisions date back to the Morrison/Dutton era and pre‑Albanese security failures.​13:55 – ASIO, gun licensing and unanswered questionsThe Jacks highlight ASIO's prior knowledge of Naveed's extremist links and question how Sajid Akram obtained a semi‑automatic shotgun with only an AB licence when B/C categories are needed for that weapon.​They call for frank explanations from ASIO and NSW firearms licensing about assessments, paper trails and whether bureaucratic or resourcing failures allowed Akram to amass an arsenal worth around $30,000.​17:55 – Under‑resourced counter‑terror units and a fearful Jewish communityJoel cites a retired AFP counter‑terror investigator who says counter‑terror units are stacked with officers fresh out of the academy instead of seasoned detectives.​Jack reflects on three decades of Jewish institutions in Sydney's east needing armed guards, and shares conversations with Jewish friends who now quietly contemplate leaving Australia because they no longer feel safe.​20:35 – “Don't bring your old hatreds here”The Jacks trace anti‑Jewish attacks in Sydney back to the 1982 Hakoah Club car bombing and the simultaneous attack on the Israeli consulate, arguing Jewish Australians have lived with this threat for over 40 years.​They say successive governments failed to hammer home a core Australian expectation: migrants must not import centuries‑old religious or ethnic hatreds into their new home.​23:05 – Segal anti‑Semitism strategy and hate‑speech lawsThey briefly canvass the Gillian Segal anti‑Semitism strategy; Jack dismisses it as “word salad” and window dressing, while Joel notes the government has been slow to act on its recommendations.​On hate‑speech laws, Jack argues bans on offensive political opinions tend to drive hatred underground and make it more dangerous, but both agree incitement to violence must remain a prosecutable offence, possibly with updated legislation.​26:00 – Policing protests and the limits of crowd controlThe Jacks explain why police sometimes tolerate ugly slogans at protests: wading in for arrests can inflame crowds that already vastly outnumber officers.​They stress the need to balance immediate public safety and officer safety with the longer‑term risk that demonstrators feel they can incite hatred with impunity.​29:00 – Bondi's stain and its heroesJoel laments that Bondi Beach, an iconic Australian destination, will now always be associated with a massacre, describing a moment of nausea as the death toll climbed on that Sunday night.​Jack reminisces about Bondi's 1990s mix of Kiwis, working‑class locals and a relaxed Jewish presence, and fears that openness has been permanently damaged.​32:05 – Old‑school cop and a Syrian‑Australian heroThey praise the middle‑aged, tie‑wearing NSW officer who initiated the “beginning of the end” of the attack and commend off‑duty police who rushed to Bondi and threw on uniforms.​Joel celebrates North Bondi tobacconist Al Ahmad, a Syrian‑born resident who tackled the gunman with astonishing courage, noting he now seems certain to receive Australian citizenship along with his parents.​35:10 – Patrol strength, long guns and local station realitiesThe Jacks relay reports that only three officers were on duty at Bondi police station, which Joel describes as a relatively minor station compared to Rose Bay or Maroubra.​They question why frontline police responding to long‑gun threats were not issued rifles of their own and suggest NSW should review access to long arms for first responders in high‑risk scenarios.​38:00 – Multiculturalism, old enmities and what really matters nextJack argues that, in an immigrant nation, the most important response is cultural: reinstilling the norm that old tribal feuds must be left behind, not accommodated.​Joel agrees this message should be central in citizenship education and public rhetoric, more important than technocratic hate‑speech tweaks or reactive gun‑law posturing.​42:05 – National Cabinet, ASIO and the demand for competenceThey criticise the National Cabinet's muted post‑Bondi meeting, which produced little beyond talk, and suggest the Prime Minister's cautious style leaves a leadership vacuum in national crises.​The Jacks insist Australians accept that security agencies cannot be omniscient, but say they must be properly resourced, competent and transparent when they make mistakes.​45:25 – Around the world: headscarves, condoms, climate and Reddit vs CanberraThe Jacks whip around global headlines: Austria's ban on headscarves for under‑14s, China's 13% tax on condoms and contraceptives to boost fertility, Denmark listing the US as a security risk, and the US government quietly deleting “fossil fuels” as a named cause of climate change from official websites.​They note Reddit's legal challenge to Australia's under‑16 social media ban and question whether Reddit is the ideal platform to front that fight given its often unpoliced content.​47:35 – Venezuela, the ICC and the limits of international lawVenezuela moves to withdraw from the International Criminal Court as investigations into alleged Maduro‑regime crimes against humanity advance.​Jack says the episode encapsulates international law's limits: states happily sign the Rome Statute until it becomes inconvenient, then walk away.​48:55 – Ireland rearms and Russia blocks “unfriendly” callsIreland announces a 55 per cent jump in defence spending to protect undersea data cables and deter drones, reflecting its geostrategic importance as a trans‑Atlantic communications hub.​Russia, meanwhile, moves to block incoming calls from “unfriendly” states; the Jacks mock the performative toughness and note how easily scammers will route around any such ban.​51:15 – Rob Reiner's murder and a towering film legacyThey react with shock to the murder of legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife, allegedly by Reiner's troubled son, whose earlier violence was itself the subject of a film.​Jack runs through Reiner's extraordinary run—This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men—and argues that if you'd made only those, you'd still have had a remarkable career.​54:45 – “This one goes to 11” and Trump's gracelessnessThe Jacks recall how Spinal Tap helped invent the mockumentary form and embedded lines like “this one goes to 11” into pop‑culture vocabulary.​They condemn Donald Trump's statement calling Reiner “a terrible human being” after his death, with conservative actor James Woods publicly rebuking Trump and praising Reiner's personal kindness despite political differences.​57:40 – Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks and comedy royaltyJoel outlines Rob Reiner's upbringing in a house full of comedic giants, with father Carl Reiner and close friend Mel Brooks holding weekly movie nights together well into old age, as captured in Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.​They reminisce about Carl and Mel's influence on Jewish humour and lament the passing of a generation of comic geniuses.​01:01:05 – EVs, hybrids and a Two Jacks lunch betThe Jacks revisit their running argument over electric vehicles, prompted by Ford CEO Jim Farley's plan to pivot the F‑150 towards hybrids instead of pure EVs.​Joel, a hybrid owner, sees hybrids as a transition technology in countries like Australia where fast‑charge infrastructure is patchy; he cites global EV sales rising to roughly 18–20 per cent of new car sales in 2025, with internal‑combustion shares steadily shrinking.​01:03:05 – Charging reality vs theory in AustraliaJoel recounts his in‑laws' BMW EV trip from central Victoria to Sydney using free or cheap NRMA/RACV chargers, but notes fast chargers are often the first to break or get switched off by retailers facing high electricity costs.​They swap anecdotes about BYD and Chinese Maxus taxis—fast‑improving but sometimes uncomfortable—and admit they can no longer remember the exact terms of their EV lunch wager, though Joel insists Jack owes him.​01:06:10 – Worst political year: Trump, Macron, Starmer, Albanese, Li, PutinThe Jacks playfully debate which leader had the worst year—Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Anthony Albanese, Chinese Premier Li or Vladimir Putin.​They characterise Albanese as the “Stephen Bradbury” of Australian politics, a cautious survivor whose luck and endurance have mattered as much as brilliance.​01:18:40 – Ashes update: England's fragile top orderIn a late segment, they revisit England's Ashes woes: repeated collapses leaving them three‑for‑not‑many and a top three of Crawley, Duckett and Pope exposing the middle order to the new ball.​Joel notes England dropped a bowler as a scapegoat while leaving the misfiring batting unchanged, and questions how long they can justify Ollie Pope at three ahead of the more solid Will Jacks.​01:21:15 – Hong Kong racing, Kooring Rising and Japanese fanboy jockeysJack describes Hong Kong's International Racing Day—four Group 1s and 80,000 people—and the rise of sprinter Kooring Rising, winner of The Everest and now on a long winning streak.​He shares footage from Japan's Nakayama track where every jockey stopped circling and sat still so they could watch Kooring Rising's race on the big screen, a measure of the horse's star power.​01:23:00 – Listener mail, Howard's gun laws and the Shooters lobbyJoel reads a note from listener Ray pointing out that 300 legally obtained guns are still attributed to “Howard's gun laws”, reminding listeners gun‑law reform was necessary but later watered down under pressure from the Shooters and Fishers political lobby.​01:24:00 – Christmas, loneliness and a surprise lunch guestThe Jacks close with Christmas reflections: acknowledging how joyful and stressful the season can be, especially for those who are lonely or estranged from family.​Joel recalls his mother inviting a homeless man to Christmas lunch—an act of charity met with teenage grumbling from him and his brother—and urges listeners to look out for those doing it tough without necessarily going to that extreme.​01:25:45 – Holiday plans and the show's return in JanuaryJack outlines Hanukkah parties and family Christmas plans in Hong Kong, while Joel describes a quieter Highlands Christmas with a Boxing Day visit from the grandkids.​They thank listeners for their support through 2025, wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and promise to return in the second week of January after a short break.​00:25 – Hanukkah, Bondi and a terror attackJoel (Jack the Insider) opens the Christmas‑eve episode by recounting the Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach that turned into a mass‑shooting, with 16 dead including Holocaust survivor Alex Kleitman and 10‑year‑old Matilda.​He notes that one gunman, Sajid Akram, was killed and his son Naveed faces 59 charges including 15 murders and a terrorism offence, while funerals proceed under a cloud of grief.​02:05 – Anti‑Semitic threats and the rise of Jew hatredThe Jacks detail an anti‑Semitic threat on a Virgin Australia flight from Denpasar to Sydney, where a 19‑year‑old allegedly made violent gestures and threats toward a Jewish passenger.​They discuss how contemporary anti‑Semitism in Australia and the West feels broader and deeper than before, increasingly visible on progressive and left‑wing fringes as well as the far right.​04:55 – Jenny Leong's “tentacles” remark and Greens politicsJoel quotes NSW Greens MLC Jenny Leong's 2023 comments about the “Jewish lobby” and “Zionist lobby” having “tentacles” infiltrating community groups, likening the rhetoric to classic Nazi tropes in Der Stürmer.​Jack notes Leong is part of NSW's hard‑left “watermelon” Greens and argues such language shows how anti‑Jewish narratives have crept into mainstream progressive politics in Australia, the UK and the US.​07:25 – Apologies, anti‑Zionism and the limits of definitionsThey note Leong apologised two months later for “poor choice of words” with anti‑Semitic implications, but Joel says the tentacle imagery hung “like a bad smell” over public debate.​The Jacks criticise semantic wrangling over definitions of anti‑Semitism and suggest calling much of it what it plainly is: old‑fashioned Jew hatred, often masked as anti‑Zionism.​10:25 – Who failed after 7 October?

La récente visite d'Emmanuel Macron en Chine a placé l'intelligence artificielle au centre des échanges franco-chinois. Au menu : coopérations éducatives, données numériques, voitures autonomes et open source.Interview : Shanhui Zhang, journaliste à China Global Television Network (CGTN)Vous avez suivi le déplacement du président français en Chine. Que faut-il en retenir sur le plan technologique ?Cette visite s'inscrit dans une continuité : c'était déjà la quatrième fois qu'Emmanuel Macron se rendait en Chine. À chaque déplacement, le président français aborde plusieurs dossiers clés - énergie, géopolitique, économie - mais cette fois encore, la dimension technologique, et en particulier l'intelligence artificielle, était centrale. La France joue un rôle important au sein de l'Union européenne, notamment dans la définition des normes, et cela pèse fortement dans les discussions avec la Chine sur l'IA, la gestion des données et les coopérations industrielles.Un moment marquant a été la tenue de la septième session du comité des entrepreneurs franco-chinois, qui réunit de grandes entreprises des deux pays pour explorer les opportunités de coopération à l'ère numérique. On a vu la présence d'acteurs majeurs de l'IA chinoise comme iFLYTEK, un leader de l'intelligence artificielle spécialisé dans la traduction automatique, l'éducation et la santé, dont les technologies sont déjà largement utilisées en Chine et pourraient, à terme, s'exporter vers la France et l'Europe.La coopération éducative et scientifique semble également centrale. Pourquoi ?Parce que l'intelligence artificielle ne se limite pas aux entreprises : elle se construit aussi dans les universités. Lors de son discours à l'université du Sichuan, Emmanuel Macron a clairement évoqué les opportunités offertes aux étudiants chinois de venir étudier en France, notamment dans le domaine de l'intelligence artificielle et des hautes technologies.Mais il faut aussi souligner que la Chine a énormément investi ces dernières années dans l'enseignement de l'IA. L'avenir ne sera donc pas une coopération à sens unique, mais plutôt une exploration commune, « main dans la main ». L'objectif est un échange équilibré de compétences, de chercheurs et d'étudiants, bénéfique à la fois à la Chine et à la France.Les questions des données et de la méfiance européenne à l'égard de la Chine ont-elles été abordées ?Oui, c'est un sujet absolument central, qui touche au cœur même de la coopération technologique entre la Chine et l'Europe. En juillet 2025, un dialogue spécifique sur l'intelligence artificielle a eu lieu entre le vice-ministre chinois des Sciences et Technologies et l'envoyé spécial du président français. Les deux parties ont publié une déclaration commune insistant sur le développement d'une IA sûre, équitable et porteuse de sens, ainsi que sur la nécessité d'une gouvernance mondiale de ces technologies.La Chine cherche aujourd'hui à rassurer les Européens, notamment sur la gestion des données, en travaillant avec l'Union européenne à la création de plateformes bilatérales et à une meilleure organisation des flux de données. L'idée est de trouver des convergences entre les règles européennes, comme le Règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD), et les lois chinoises sur la sécurité des données, afin de bâtir un cadre commun acceptable des deux côtés.Voir : China Global Television Network (CGTN)-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

C dans l'air l'invité du 16 décembre 2025 avec Éric Ciotti, député UDR des Alpes-Maritimes.Emmanuel Macron a entamé mardi une visite à Marseille en se rendant sur la tombe de Mehdi Kessaci, assassiné il y a un mois, sans doute pour intimider son frère Amine, militant qui dénonce l'emprise des réseaux de trafic drogue. A cette occasion, le président a promis de mener une "guerre aux réseaux qui tuent des jeunes innocents pour intimider, pour faire peur", promettant qu'il "n'y a aucune chance qu'ils (les réseaux) gagnent". Il a affiché sa volonté d'aller "chercher dans les pays où sont les têtes de réseau de la coopération, pour pouvoir saisir leurs biens, pour pouvoir arrêter les têtes de réseau, nous les restituer". Concernant les consommateurs, dont il fustige régulièrement la responsabilité, le chef d'Etat a annoncé un passage à 500 euros, contre 200 actuellement, de l'amende forfaitaire délictuelle.Au Parlement, le casse-tête budgétaire continue. Alors que le budget de la Sécurité sociale revient à l'assemblée pour un ultime vote, le PLF va être envoyé en commission mixte paritaire vendredi. Le gouvernement a déjà appelé à des «concessions» pour réduire le déficit, jugé trop élevé en l'état. En commission mixte paritaire, le compromis promet d'être difficile à trouver.La position ferme de LR et de son patron Bruno Retailleau, se heurte actuellement aux demandes des socialistes, en quête d'une concession sur la taxation des entreprises ou des hauts patrimoines. «La droite sénatoriale a karchérisé les apports de l'Assemblée nationale. Ce n'est pas avec cela qu'on réussira à aboutir à un accord», a quant à lui attaqué le président des sénateurs socialistes, Patrick Kanner.

In November gunmen seized more than 300 pupils and a dozen teachers from a Catholic school in northern Nigeria. While authorities have rescued around 100 children, many remain missing. Kidnapping has become a recurring reality in many parts of the country, and in late 2025 President Bola Tinubu declared the crisis a national security emergency. He pledged to boost security in remote areas, but rights groups say the true scale of abductions is hidden by widespread underreporting. The sheer number of kidnappings has also drawn international attention.

It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa.  The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it. https://twitter.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1998791717752062345?s=20  Autopen. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1998407015756964343?s=20   to decide if it gets a floor vote. I hope they do the right thing. The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.' It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream.  Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump's words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist.  In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise.  The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face. For many Americans, the affordability crisis is so severe that they think the American dream is no longer within reach. In fact, only 22 percent of young Americans think they will be better off than their parents.

The Code Conduct is a document agreed upon by social media companies for removing hate. The improved upon “Code of Conduct Plus” continues to be an important tool under the DSA: “On 20 January 2025, the revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online + (the ‘Code of conduct+') was integrated into the regulatory framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA), following a positive assessment from the Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. The Code of conduct+, which builds on the Code of Conduct adopted in 2016, strengthens the way online platforms deal with content deemed illegal hate speech according to EU law and Member States' laws. It facilitates compliance with and the effective enforcement of the DSA in this specific area.” This new Conduct Code+ was established as a “DSA Code of conduct”. This empowered civil society organisations to act as watchdogs. “Following its integration, adherence to the Code of conduct+ may be considered as an appropriate risk mitigation measure for signatories designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA.” “The DSA classifies platforms or search engines that have more than 45 million users per month in the EU as very large online platforms (VLOPs)” https://twitter.com/emd_worldwide/status/1998556257251152246?s=20   letter confirms the details of that action.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?”  .

Importing voters is a CERTAIN path to a single-party supermajority and has ALREADY happened at the state level in California and New York. It also explains why those states have BANNED VOTER ID in order to accelerate a permanent socialist supermajority, destroying any semblance of democracy. We stand on the precipice of disaster, an end to America. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/1998769742455435403?s=20   say stupid stuff like “I’m not voting in the mid-terms.” The Constitutional powers of the President are limited by design. Moreover, Trump faces unique challenges in an intransigent Deep State and an array of rogue judges, neither of which any other President has faced at this scale. Nevertheless, in less than a year Trump has kept more of his campaign promises than any other President since FDR. Some of you people need to wise up. There is no Government Fairy. It’s a hard slog, and we’re winning–unless YOU mess it up, Doomsters. Don’t mess it up. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/1998827695439004144?s=20  care, the GOP deserves it.” This is self-fulfilling prophecy. It suppresses voter enthusiasm, suppresses voter turn out, and creates exactly the barren ground that Leftists have come to expect from a conservative movement that seems determined to fail at every turn even when it is winning. *versus* 2. “I am so happy that we have made so much progress. Trump has done amazing things in a short period of time against unprecedented institutional resistance. We are winning and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the restoration of our Constitutional republic. Nevertheless, there is much to be done. President Trump and the true conservatives in Congress need our enthusiastic, vocal support. We must keep the pressure on the eGOP, the Democrats and the lying media. This is a tough battle, but we will win.” THAT my friends is a message of victory. It too becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as it inspires the voting base yet does not ignore the work yet to be done. It’s winning. ————————— Allow me to paraphrase Napoleon Bonaparte: “In politics, the moral is to the physical as three is to one.” _________________________ In other words, why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves, Moriarity. https://twitter.com/Avis_Liberatum/status/1998829654241694036?s=20 https://twitter.com/MattMorseTV/status/1998541820285145219?s=20    and for America itself. In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana's case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don't want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn't care. He's either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn't be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way. Bray and his friends are the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won't be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again. One of my favorite States, Indiana, will be the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down! Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The  message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens.  Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision. For some Republicans who support Trump’s policy but have struggled to properly communicate the importance to their constituents, the president simplified the issue for the entire party.
