In this powerful clip of Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive deep into the global tech and investing landscape—focusing on Nvidia's sudden departure from the Chinese market. Host Rashad kicks off the discussion by raising questions about Nvidia's abrupt shift from having 95% market share in China to zero, following US-China tech tensions. Is this move long-term trouble for Nvidia's stock, or is CEO Jensen Huang playing political chess?Ian Dunlap pulls no punches, comparing the situation to historic moments like the moon landing and drawing parallels to Apple's strategic moves in India. He highlights how companies can't play both sides in a technological war and that sometimes, greed can blind executives to geopolitical realities. Ian predicts Nvidia will work to offset losses by forging partnerships elsewhere—most likely in India or the UAE, where tech investments are surging.Troy Millings zeros in on Nvidia's resilient stock price, pointing out that the market barely budged despite this major announcement. The conversation pivots to the importance of geographical diversification and the rising influence of Gulf States like UAE and Saudi Arabia as the new funding hubs for global tech.The trio also gets into the nitty-gritty of international policy, IP theft, and global supply chains—breaking down how America innovates, the Middle East invests, China copies, and Europe regulates. Rashad and Ian discuss the tightrope walk companies like Apple and Nvidia face in China, noting the government's drive to develop and protect its own tech sector—even if it means bypassing superior American products.They explore the potential fallout if China invades Taiwan and the role of semiconductor titans like TSMC—where kill switches in chip fabs could be a game-changer for global tech dominance. With constant shifts in trade agreements, aggressive copycat strategies by China, and new opportunities blooming in UAE, India, and Saudi Arabia, this clip exposes how cutthroat and rapidly evolving the tech world has become.Tune in to hear why the guys believe America's short-term strategic planning could come back to haunt it as countries like China think decades ahead, and why your investment strategy should account for more than quarterly earnings.*Hashtags:* #MarketMondays #Nvidia #ChinaTech #GlobalInvesting #IanDunlap #RashadBilal #TroyMillings #UAEInvestment #TechWar #Apple #TSMC #Semiconductors #Geopolitics #StockMarket #AI #TradeWar #Innovation #BusinessNews #Investing #MiddleEastTechOur Sponsors:* Check out PNC Bank: https://www.pnc.com* Check out Square: https://square.com/go/eylSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Throughout Europe, nations made sweeping social changes, driven the demands of war, the ideas of Absolutism and the growing belief in reason and improvement. This is the age of many of the great names of European history - Louis the Sun King, Peter the Great. It saw the ending of Spanish hegemony- and start of the French. And so - here it is, in this episode, a whistle stop tour of monarchs, mayhem, and madness. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Take 20% off a paid annual ‘Storm' subscription through Monday, Oct. 27, 2025.WhoJared Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Alterra Mountain CompanyRecorded onOctober 22, 2025About Alterra Mountain CompanyAlterra is skiing's Voltron, a collection of super-bots united to form one super-duper bot. Only instead of gigantic robot lions the bots are gigantic ski areas and instead of fighting the evil King Zarkon they combined to battle Vail Resorts and its cackling mad Epic Pass. Here is Alterra's current ski-bot stable:Alterra of course also owns the Ikon Pass, which for the 2025-26 winter gives skiers all of this:Ikon launched in 2018 as a more-or-less-even competitor to Epic Pass, both in number and stature of ski areas and price, but long ago blew past its mass-market competitor in both:Those 89 total ski areas include nine that Alterra added last week in Japan, South Korea, and China. Some of these 89 partners, however, are so-called “bonus mountains,” which are Alterra's Cinderellas. And not Cinderella at the end of the story when she rules the kingdom and dines on stag and hunts peasants for sport but first-scene Cinderella when she lives in a windowless tower and wears a burlap dress and her only friends are talking mice. Meaning skiers can use their Ikon Pass to ski at these places but they are not I repeat NOT on the Ikon Pass so don't you dare say they are (they are).While the Ikon Pass is Alterra's Excalibur, many of its owned mountains offer their own season passes (see Alterra chart above). And many now offer their own SUPER-DUPER season passes that let skiers do things like cut in front of the poors and dine on stag in private lounges:These SUPER-DUPER passes don't bother me though a lot of you want me to say they're THE END OF SKIING. I won't put a lot of effort into talking you off that point so long as you're all skiing for $17 per day on your Ikon Passes. But I will continue to puzzle over why the Ikon Session Pass is such a very very bad and terrible product compared to every other day pass including those sold by Alterra's own mountains. I am also not a big advocate for peak-day lift ticket prices that resemble those of black-market hand sanitizer in March 2020:Fortunately Vail and Alterra seem to have launched a lift ticket price war, the first battle of which is The Battle of Give Half Off Coupons to Your Dumb Friends Who Don't Buy A Ski Pass 10 Months Before They Plan to Ski:Alterra also runs some heli-ski outfits up in B.C. but I'm not going to bother decoding all that because one reason I started The Storm was because I was over stories of Bros skiing 45 feet of powder at the top of the Chugach while the rest of us fretted over parking reservations and the $5 replacement cost of an RFID card. I know some of you are like Bro how many stories do you think the world needs about chairlifts but hey at least pretty much anyone reading this can go ride them.Oh and also I probably lost like 95 percent of you with Voltron because unless you were between the ages of 7 and 8 in the mid-1980s you probably missed this:One neat thing about skiing is that if someone ran headfirst into a snowgun in 1985 and spent four decades in a coma and woke up tomorrow they'd still know pretty much all the ski areas even if they were confused about what's a Palisades Tahoe and why all of us future wussies wear helmets. “Damn it, Son in my day we didn't bother and I'm just fine. Now grab $20 and a pack of smokes and let's go skiing.”Why I interviewed himFor pretty much the same reason I interviewed this fellow:I mean like it or not these two companies dominate modern lift-served skiing in this country, at least from a narrative point of view. And while I do everything I can to demonstrate that between the Indy Pass and ski areas not in Colorado or Utah or Tahoe plenty of skier choice remains, it's impossible to ignore the fact that Alterra's 17 U.S. ski areas and Vail's 36 together make up around 30 percent of the skiable terrain across America's 509 active ski areas:And man when you add in all U.S. Epic and Ikon mountains it's like dang:We know publicly traded Vail's Epic Pass sales numbers and we know those numbers have softened over the past couple of years, but we don't have similar access to Alterra's numbers. A source with direct knowledge of Ikon Pass sales recently told me that unit sales had increased every year. Perhaps some day someone will anonymously message me a screenshot code-named Alterra's Big Dumb Chart documenting unit and dollar sales since Ikon's 2018 launch. In the meantime, I'm just going to have to keep talking to the guy running the company and asking extremely sly questions like, “if you had to give us a ballpark estimate of exactly how many Ikon Passes you sold and how much you paid each partner mountain and which ski area you're going to buy next, what would you say?”What we talked aboutA first-to-open competition between A-Basin and Winter Park (A-Basin won); the allure of skiing Japan; Ikon as first-to-market in South Korea and China; continued Ikon expansion in Europe; who's buying Ikon?; bonus mountains; half-off friends tickets; reserve passes; “one of the things we've struggled with as an industry are the dynamics between purchasing a pass and the daily lift ticket price”; “we've got to find ways to make it more accessible, more affordable, more often for more people”; Europe as a cheaper ski alternative to the West; “we are focused every day on … what is the right price for the right consumer on the right day?”; “there's never been more innovation” in the ski ticket space; Palisades Tahoe's 14-year-village-expansion approval saga; America's “increasingly complex” landscape of community stakeholders; and Deer Valley's massive expansion.What I got wrong* We didn't get this wrong, but when we recorded this pod on Wednesday, Smith and I discussed which of Alterra's ski areas would open first. Arapahoe Basin won that fight, opening at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, which was yesterday unless you're reading this in the future.* I said that 40 percent of all Epic, Ikon, and Indy pass partners were outside of North America. This is inaccurate: 40 percent (152) of those three passes' combined 383 partners is outside the United States. Subtracting their 49 Canadian ski areas gives us 103 mountains outside of North America, or 27 percent of the total.* I claimed that a ski vacation to Europe is “a quarter of the price” of a similar trip to the U.S. This was hyperbole, and obviously the available price range of ski vacations is enormous, but in general, prices for everything from lift tickets to hotels to food tend to be lower in the Alps than in the Rocky Mountain core.* It probably seems strange that I said that Deer Valley's East Village was great because you could drive there from the airport without hitting a spotlight and also said that the resort would be less car-dependent. What I meant by that was that once you arrive at East Village, it is – or will be, when complete – a better slopeside pedestrian village experience than the car-oriented Snow Park that has long served as the resort's principal entry point. Snow Park itself is scheduled to evolve from parking-lot-and-nothing-else to secondary pedestrian village. The final version of Deer Valley should reduce the number of cars within Park City proper and create a more vibrant atmosphere at the ski area.Questions I wish I'd askedThe first question you're probably asking is “Bro why is this so short aren't your podcasts usually longer than a Superfund cleanup?” Well I take what I can get and if there's a question you can think of related to Ikon or Alterra or any of the company's mountains, it was on my list. But Smith had either 30 minutes or zero minutes so I took the win.Podcast NotesOn Deer ValleyI was talking to the Deer Valley folks the other day and we agreed that they're doing so much so fast that it's almost impossible to tell the story. I mean this was Deer Valley two winters ago:And this will be Deer Valley this winter:Somehow it's easier to write 3,000 words on Indy Pass adding a couple of Northeast backwaters than it is to frame up the ambitions of a Utah ski area expanding by as much skiable acreage as all 30 New Hampshire ski areas combined in just two years. Anyway Deer Valley is about to be the sixth-largest ski area in America and when this whole project is done in a few years it will be number four at 5,700 acres, behind only Vail Resorts' neighboring Park City (7,300 acres), Alterra's own Palisades Tahoe (6,000 acres), and Boyne Resorts' Big Sky (5,850 acres).On recent Steamboat upgradesYes the Wild Blue Gondola is cool and I'm sure everyone from Baton-Tucky just loves it. But everything I'm hearing out of Steamboat over the past couple of winters indicates that A) the 650-acre Mahogany Ridge expansion adds a fistfighting dimension to what had largely been an intermediate ski resort, and that, B) so far, no one goes over there, partially because they don't know about it and partially because the resort only cut one trail in the whole amazing zone (far looker's left):I guess just go ski this one while everyone else still thinks Steamboat is nothing but gondolas and Sunshine Peak.On Winter Park being “on deck”After stringing the two sides of Palisades Tahoe together with a $75 trillion gondola and expanding Steamboat and nearly tripling the size of Deer Valley, all signs point to Alterra next pushing its resources into actualizing Winter Park's ambitious masterplan, starting with the gondola connection to town (right side of map):On new Ikon Pass partners for 2025-26You can read about the bonus partners above, but here are the write-ups on Ikon's full seven/five-day partners:On previous Alterra podcastsThis was Smith's second appearance on the pod. Here's number one, from 2023:His predecessor, Rusty Gregory, appeared on the show three times:I've also hosted the leaders of a bunch of Alterra leaders on the pod, most recently A-Basin and Mammoth:And the heads of many Ikon Pass partners – most recently Killington and Sun Valley:On U.S. passes in JapanEpic, Ikon, Indy, and Mountain Collective are now aligned with 48 ski areas in Japan – nearly as many as the four passes have signed in Canada:On EuropeAnd here are the European ski areas aligned with Epic, Ikon, Indy, and Mountain Collective – the list is shorter than the Japanese list, but since each European ski area is made up of between one and 345 ski areas, the actual skiable acreage here is likely equal to the landmass of Greenland:On skier and ski area growth in ChinaChina's ski industry appears to be developing rapidly - I'm not sure what to make of the difference between “ski resorts” and “ski resorts with aerial ropeways.” Normally I'd assume that means with or without lifts, but that doesn't make a lot of sense and sometimes nations frame things in very different ways.On the village at Palisades TahoeThe approval process for a village expansion on the Olympic side of Palisades Tahoe was a very convoluted one. KCRA sums the outcome up well (I'll note that “Alterra” did not call for anything in 2011, as the company didn't exist until 2017):Under the initial 2011 application, Alterra had called for the construction of 2,184 bedrooms. That was reduced to 1,493 bedrooms in a 2014 revised proposal where 850 housing units — a mix of condominiums, hotel rooms and timeshares — were planned. The new agreement calls for a total of 896 bedrooms.The groups that pushed this downsizing were primarily Keep Tahoe Blue and Sierra Watch. Smith is very diplomatic in discussing this project on the podcast, pointing to the “collaboration, communication, and a little bit of compromise” that led to the final agreement.I'm not going to be so diplomatic. Fighting dense, pedestrian-oriented development that could help reconfigure traffic patterns and housing availability in a region that is choking on ski traffic and drowning in housing costs is dumb. The systems for planning, approving, and building anything that is different from what already exists in this nation are profoundly broken. The primary issue is this: these anti-development crusaders position themselves as environmental defenders without acknowledging (or, more likely, realizing), that the existing traffic, blight, and high costs driving their resistance is a legacy of haphazard development in past decades, and that more thoughtful, human-centric projects could mitigate, rather than worsen, these concerns. The only thing an oppose-everything stance achieves is to push development farther out into the hinterlands, exacerbating sprawl and traffic.British Columbia is way ahead of us here. I've written about this extensively in the past, and won't belabor the point here except to cite what I wrote last year about the 3,711-home city sprouting from raw wilderness below Cypress Mountain, a Boyne-owned Ikon Pass partner just north of Vancouver:Mountain town housing is most often framed as an intractable problem, ingrown and malignant and impossible to reset or rethink or repair. Too hard to do. But it is not hard to do. It is the easiest thing in the world. To provide more housing, municipalities must allow developers to build more housing, and make them do it in a way that is dense and walkable, that is mixed with commerce, that gives people as many ways to move around without a car as possible.This is not some new or brilliant idea. This is simply how humans built villages for about 10,000 years, until the advent of the automobile. Then we started building our spaces for machines instead of for people. This was a mistake, and is the root problem of every mountain town housing crisis in North America. That and the fact that U.S. Americans make no distinction between the hyper-thoughtful new urbanist impulses described here and the sprawling shitpile of random buildings that are largely the backdrop of our national life. The very thing that would inject humanity into the mountains is recast as a corrupting force that would destroy a community's already-compromised-by-bad-design character.Not that it will matter to our impossible American brains, but Canada is about to show us how to do this. Over the next 25 years, a pocket of raw forest hard against Cypress' access road will sprout a city of 3,711 homes that will house thousands of people. It will be a human-scaled, pedestrian-first community, a city neighborhood dropped onto a mountainside. A gondola could connect the complex to Cypress' lifts thousands of feet up the mountain – more cars off the road. It would look like this (the potential aerial lift is not depicted here):Here's how the whole thing would set up against the mountain:And here's what it would be like at ground level:Like wow that actually resembles something that is not toxic to the human soul. But to a certain sort of Mother Earth evangelist, the mere suggestion of any sort of mountainside development is blasphemous. I understand this impulse, but I believe that it is misdirected, a too-late reflex against the subdivision-off-an-exit-ramp Build-A-Bungalow mentality that transformed this country into a car-first sprawlscape. I believe a reset is in order: to preserve large tracts of wilderness, we should intensely develop small pieces of land, and leave the rest alone. This is about to happen near Cypress. We should pay attention.Given the environmental community's reflexive and vociferous opposition to a recent proposal to repurpose tracts of not-necessarily-majestic wilderness for housing, I'm not optimistic that we possess the cultural brainpower to improve our own lives through policy. Which is why I've been writing more about passes and less about our collective ambitions to make everything from the base of the lifts outward as inconvenient and expensive as possible.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 24 octobre 2025.Avec cette semaine :- Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.- David Djaïz, entrepreneur et essayiste.- Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.- Michaela Wiegel, correspondante à Paris de la Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.LE VOL DU LOUVRE ET LA PROTECTION DU PATRIMOINEAu musée du Louvre, dimanche dernier, une série de bijoux datant du XIXe siècle ont été dérobés en quelques minutes par plusieurs malfaiteurs dans la galerie d'Apollon. Huit pièces manquent à l'appel. Le butin a été estimé à 88 millions d'euros par la conservatrice du musée, a annoncé mardi la procureure de Paris. La couronne de l'impératrice Eugénie, d'abord volée, a été retrouvée près du site, vraisemblablement égarée par les voleurs dans leur fuite. Très fréquenté, le musée a accueilli 8,7 millions de visiteurs en 2024. Il s'étend sur 73.000 mètres carrés et contient environ 35.000 œuvres issues de collections du monde entier. Le dernier vol recensé au Louvre a eu lieu en 1998 : une toile de Camille Corot, volée en pleine journée et jamais retrouvée.Lors de son audition mercredi au Sénat, la présidente du musée Laurence des Cars a indiqué qu'aucune caméra ne couvrait le balcon de la galerie d'Apollon, où sont passés les braqueurs, mais a réfuté tout « retard » dans la mise en œuvre du plan de sécurisation, contestant les observations de la Cour des comptes. Elle a confirmé avoir présenté sa démission, « refusée » par la ministre de la culture, et a notamment souhaité solliciter le ministère de l'intérieur pour étudier la possibilité d'installer un commissariat de police au sein du musée.Alors que le Louvre a rouvert ses portes mercredi matin, The Economist rappelle, étude scientifique à l'appui, que le vol d'œuvres dans les grands musées est presque une routine : on en recense 40 dans le monde depuis 1990 (majoritairement en Europe)… plus d'un par an. Dans quasiment un cas sur cinq, la valeur des objets dérobés dépasse les 100 millions d'euros avec un record à 450 millions d'euros pour le Van Gogh Museum d'Amsterdam en 1991. Moins d'une fois sur deux les œuvres volées ont finalement été récupérées.La portée symbolique de ce cambriolage n'est pas sans rappeler, pour Le Figaro, celui de l'incendie de Notre-Dame de Paris, en 2019, ou du vol de La Joconde en 1911. L'incendie de Notre-Dame avait mis en lumière la vulnérabilité d'autres édifices religieux. Un plan « sécurité » avait été lancé en 2020 pour les 87 cathédrales dépendant de l'État qui ont renforcé depuis leurs dispositifs de sécurité par des formations aux secours, des caméras thermiques, des porte coupe-feu… Selon la Direction nationale du renseignement territorial, 401 faits antichrétiens ont été recensés entre janvier et juin 2025, soit + 13 % par rapport à la même période en 2024. Une hausse significative qui intervient après deux ans de baisse. Mais pour l'Observatoire du patrimoine religieux, association indépendante qui effectue une veille en temps réel, ces chiffres sont « sous-estimés, parce qu'il n'y a pas toujours des plaintes ». Selon son vice-président, il y aurait aujourd'hui « trois à cinq fois plus de vandalisme touchant les édifices catholiques qu'il y a dix ans ».LE MOUVEMENT NO KINGSDe Washington à San Francisco, en passant par New York, Tampa ou Los Angeles, samedi 18 octobre dans 2.700 villes, près de sept millions d'Américains ont manifesté pacifiquement, contre Donald Trump et son usage autoritaire du pouvoir. Un mouvement lancé par un collectif de 300 associations regroupées derrière le slogan « No Kings » « pas de rois ». Ce collectif d'associations de défense des libertés civiles, dont certaines sont proches du Parti démocrate annonce la couleur sur la page d'accueil du site Internet qui coordonne les manifestations : « Pas de trônes, pas de couronnes, pas de rois : le pouvoir appartient au peuple. » Le mouvement qui dit vouloir s'opposer aux « abus de pouvoir », déplore « l'envoi d'agents militarisés » dans des villes démocrates et les « cadeaux aux milliardaires ». Il entend « défendre la démocratie » face à « la dictature ». Dans les cortèges, les manifestants qui revendiquent la défense des valeurs américaines, ont concentré leurs critiques sur les attaques contre la liberté de la presse, le droit de vote des minorités ou la séparation des pouvoirs. Le déploiement de la garde nationale dans plusieurs villes américaines, ainsi que les rafles opérées par la nouvelle police anti-immigration nourrissent l'indignation. Cette deuxième contestation d'ampleur, a été trois fois plus suivie qu'un événement similaire à la mi-juin.Né de la société civile, ce mouvement a reçu le soutien public de plusieurs personnalités politiques. Il a notamment été relayé par l'ancienne candidate démocrate Kamala Harris. Dans les cortèges, on a pu voir le leader de l'aile gauche démocrate Bernie Sanders, ou le sénateur de New York Chuck Schumer. Le mouvement a été également soutenu par des artistes comme Robert De Niro. Cette nouvelle journée de mobilisation survient par ailleurs en pleine paralysie budgétaire de l'État fédéral et alors que Donald Trump a déployé des militaires dans plusieurs fiefs démocrates pour, selon lui, lutter contre l'immigration illégale et la criminalité. La droite a fustigé un mouvement de « haine de l'Amérique », tandis que plusieurs membres de l'administration Trump ont accusé les manifestants d'être des « extrémistes ». Le président de la Chambre des représentants, Mike Johnson, a ainsi jugé que le mouvement était animé par « des partisans du Hamas et des antifas ». Un qualificatif qui pourrait ouvrir la voie à des poursuites, le président Donald Trump ayant récemment signé un décret qui classe le mouvement « antifa » comme étant une « organisation terroriste ». À ses yeux, ce mouvement serait une « entreprise militarisée et anarchiste qui appelle explicitement au renversement du gouvernement des États-Unis ». En réponse à ces manifestations, Donald Trump a publié sur les réseaux sociaux, depuis sa résidence de Mar-a-Lago en Floride, une vidéo réalisée grâce à l'intelligence artificielle. On y voit le président américain aux commandes d'un avion, la tête coiffée d'une couronne, en train de bombarder les cortèges de manifestants avec des excréments.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Joined by General Sir Richard Barrons – former head of UK Joint Forces Command and co-author of Britain's Strategic Defence Review – and Orysia Lutsevych OBE – head of the Ukraine Forum at Chatham House – hosts Dom Nicholls, Francis Dearnley, and Adélie Pojzman-Pontay debate the state of the conflict, Donald Trump's renewed deadlines and ultimatums, and why Vladimir Putin shows no sign of negotiating peace in good faith.Then we take questions from the audience.As bombs continue to devastate Ukrainian cities and Europe's “Coalition of the Willing” struggles for credibility, we ask: where next for the war and for European security? With the post-1945 security order collapsing, this timely discussion helps make sense of a shifting geopolitical era – and considers the challenges facing Western societies and reserve forces, such as the Honourable Artillery Company, in the years ahead.You can also watch this episode on The Telegraph YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/Mw_lWhp-flU SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Bon, il y a un jeune français qui s'est fait arrêter à Saint-Domingue. Well, there's a young Frenchman who was arrested in Santo Domingo.Et la raison, c'est qu'il a essayé de passer une grosse quantité de cocaïne dans son corps. And the reason is that he tried to smuggle a large quantity of cocaine in his body.On parle d'un jeune de 19 ans, il avait avalé, écoutez bien, 1,6 kg de cocaïne. We're talking about a 19-year-old, he had swallowed, listen carefully, 1.6 kg of cocaine.C'est quand même énorme. That's quite enormous.Il a dû expulser 141 petits sachets, vous savez, en latex noir et bleu dans un centre médical après coup. He had to expel 141 small sachets, you know, in black and blue latex in a medical center afterwards.Les autorités dominicaines, la DNCD, c'est leur agence anti-drogue, pensent qu'il fait partie du trafic international lié à des réseaux criminels organisés. The Dominican authorities, the DNCD, which is their anti-drug agency, believe he is part of the international trafficking linked to organized criminal networks.Ces réseaux recrutent des passeurs, des mules, comme on dit, ils leur offrent de l'argent pour voyager jusqu'à Saint-Domingue où on leur fournit la drogue et ensuite, hop, direction les États-Unis ou l'Europe. These networks recruit smugglers, "mules," as they are called, they offer them money to travel to Santo Domingo where they are supplied with the drug, and then, hop, off to the United States or Europe.Faut bien voir que la République Dominicaine, c'est vraiment une plaque tournante majeure pour la cocaïne. It must be noted that the Dominican Republic is truly a major hub for cocaine.Ce n'est pas nouveau hein. It's not new, you know.Juste pour vous donner une idée, rien qu'en 2024, les autorités là-bas ont saisi plus de 37 tonnes de cocaïne. Just to give you an idea, in 2024 alone, the authorities there seized more than 37 tons of cocaine. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

In this episode of The Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks with James Sherr, Honorary Fellow at the International Center for Defense and Security in Tallinn. They unpack a week of geopolitical whiplash — from talk of U.S. Tomahawk missiles for Ukraine to sudden reversals and new sanctions on Russia.

Ben Hodges is a retired United States Army officer, who became commander of United States Army Europe in November 2014, and held that position for three years until retiring from the United States Army in January 2018. Until recently he was the Pershing Chair in Strategic Studies, at the Centre for European Policy Analysis, specialising in NATO, Transatlantic relationship and international security. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------DESCRIPTION: Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges on US Policy, European Security, and Ukraine's FutureIn this insightful discussion with retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, we delve into the complexities of current US and European policies regarding Ukraine. We explore Europe's hesitance to fully commit, the impact of mixed signals from the Trump administration, and the implications of lifting limitations on deep strike munitions. Additionally, Hodges sheds light on internal power struggles within the US administration and the potential consequences of diminished legal oversight within the military. The conversation also touches on the resilience of the Russian public and military, and the existential challenges facing European democracies. The episode concludes with a recommendation to watch 'Kyiv of Mine,' a documentary series highlighting life in Ukraine's capital before and during the war.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene00:22 Current State of US and European Policies02:10 Military Strategies and Decisions04:12 Internal Struggles and Legal Concerns08:53 Russian Public Sentiment and Military Morale11:43 The Broader Implications for Democracy13:42 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------LINKS:https://twitter.com/general_benhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Hodges https://cepa.org/author/ben-hodges/ https://warsawsecurityforum.org/speaker/hodges-ben-lt-gen/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-hodges-1674b1172/ ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Episode Summary: China, Russia, and other adversaries can strike the U.S. through a range of air and missile technologies. In this episode, we discuss solutions with former NORTHCOM-NORAD commander Gen. Glen VanHerck, USAF (Ret.) and former USAFE commander Gen. Jeff “Cobra” Harrigian, USAF (Ret.); along with Mitchell Institute senior fellows Brig. Gen. Houston Cantwell, USAF (Ret.); Charles Galbreath; and host Heather Penney. This is especially important as the nation considers programs like Golden Dome. Air and missile defense is a deadly serious business. Competent defenses are not something that can be assembled on the fly as part of a “pick-up game.” It takes a smart strategy, thoughtful concept of operations, command and control, plus the right technologies to mount an effective defense. Above all, the real goal should be peace through strength—deterring hostile actions by our adversaries against our homeland.

Sam Harris speaks with Robert D. Kaplan about his new book, Waste Land: A World in Permanent Crisis. They discuss climate change, demographics, the primacy of order over freedom, why Russia is a country in decline, political extremism and the migration crisis in Europe and the UK, Israel's military successes, what the world could look like in the aftermath of the war in the Middle East, antisemitism on the left, how a war in the Pacific could cause a global economic catastrophe, whether the U.S. could win a war with China, President Biden's legacy, the pitfalls of globalization and social media, whether we can ever return to a “normal” America, and other topics.

Like Putin, Donald Trump is determined to hide from the people. He's promising that a taxpayer-funded FBI–run by MAGA troll Kash Patel–will “secure” the next election. The MAGA cult plans to steal it, again. And with Republican gerrymandering, bot farms from Russia to China, and Elon Musk's Twitter turned into a disinformation landfill, he just might pull it off. Again.  Causing one of the longest government shutdowns in American history – again – Trump gives Argentina a $40 billion bailout. Why Argentina? It's where a lot of Nazis fled after World War II, and maybe where the Trumps plan to flee after Americans end their crime spree. It's a bold strategy: betray your own farmers to curry favor with your future Nazi refuge.  Meanwhile, the convicted felon-in-chief is busy literally demolishing the White House. The East Wing is being gutted to make space for what amounts to a kleptocratic ballroom: a pay-to-play shrine for oligarchs and hangers-on. Melania already desecrated Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden, turning it into a cement Panera Bread patio. It's as if the Trumps are trying to erase everything beautiful about American democracy and replace it with a bedazzled monument to authoritarianism, to repay their Russian backers driven to win a Cold War rematch.

Trump Administration Sanctions Hit Russia's Oil Lifeline. Michael Bernstam discussed the Trump administration's politically significant sanctions targeting Russia's two largest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, affecting 56% of Russian output. The sanctions caused world oil prices to jump temporarily and elicited an immediate angry response from Putin, who called it an "unfriendly act." The primary financial impact on Russia will be much deeper discounts demanded by buyers, significantly hurting the Russian budget. Europe is meanwhile nearing liberation from Russian energy dependence due to abundant US liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The AI Infrastructure Gold Rush and Europe's Absence. Chris Riegel discusses how the AI revolution is driving a feverish rush to build large data centers (one gigawatt or better), though energy access is a critical choke point that may cause conflict between commercial demand and normal consumers by summer 2026. This intense global competition, likened to a gold rush, is primarily a two-horse race between the US and China. Europe is largely sitting out the advanced AI development wave, which is considered a tactical mistake that may leave them reliant on American or Chinese technolog 1965y.

SHOW 10-23-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1882 BLACK SEA RUSSIAN FLEET THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT A UKRAINE RESOLUTION... FIRST HOUR 9-915 Delayed Budapest Summit and Ukraine Negotiation Sticking Points. Anatol Lieven discusses how negotiations between the US and Russia, including a planned Budapest meeting, are delayed despite some progress on security issues like Trump's position on Ukraine joining NATO. The major sticking point remains Russia's demand that Ukraine withdraw from the rest of the Donbas, which Ukrainian leaders deem politically impossible. While Russia has scaled back some territorial claims, a viable peace settlement likely necessitates a ceasefire along existing lines, coupled with lifting sanctions. Escalation risks remain high due to potential accidental military clashes. 915-930 Delayed Budapest Summit and Ukraine Negotiation Sticking Points.

Ivana Stradner discussed the controversial UN Cyber Crime Treaty, which she argues is an assault on international rule of law spearheaded by Russia and China. The treaty is feared because it enables digital authoritarianism, censorship, and surveillance by potentially forcing companies to grant government access to private data and share user information globally. The US should reject ratification and defer to the Budapest Convention, relying instead on powerful offensive and defensive cyber capabilities for deterrence.

Professor William Taubman detailed Robert McNamara's rise, beginning as a statistician in WWII advising General Curtis LeMay on firebombing techniques, a success McNamara later regretted as potentially criminal. After becoming president of Ford, he reluctantly joined JFK's administration as Secretary of Defense. McNamara's brilliance and efficiency led Kennedy to admire him as the cabinet's star, even considering him for vice president in 1964 and the presidential candidate in 1968. 1115-1130 Robert McNamara: From WWII Statistical Control to Kennedy's Star.

Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses how US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) admitted an erroneous entry record was created and used by Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes to jail Felipe Martins, an advisor to former President Bolsonaro. De Moraes used the apparently fake I-94 document, which contained a misspelling and a canceled passport number, to hold Martins for 183 days to extract information about an alleged coup plot. The unprecedented CBP admission confirms a file violation and suggests ongoing malfeasance. 1230-1245 US Accelerates Moon Race Against China. Rick Fisher and David Livingston discuss how the US moon race is accelerating, driven by President Trump's demand to land on the moon by 2028 and concerns that China, using the Long March 10 booster, might get there by 2029. Interim NASA Director Sean Duffy reopened the lunar lander contract, previously held by SpaceX's Starship, to Blue Origin and potentially Lockheed Martin, seeking multiple pathways. The Chinese space program is viewed as a strategic maneuver aimed at distracting the US from other global conflicts. 1245-100 AM US Accelerates Moon Race Against China.

In the years following the end of the Second World War, the post-war world that many in the West hoped for never materialized.  Their former ally, the Soviet Union, turned from friend to foe. They installed puppet communist governments in all of the countries they occupied when pushing their way to Germany, and now the concern was that the Soviets would try to take over the rest of Europe.  In response, twelve nations in Western Europe and North America joined together in a military alliance, the likes of which hadn't been seen before in history.

[00:06:28] – ICE's Domestic Surveillance EmpireKnight exposes ICE's $1.4 billion surveillance expansion under Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” He details contracts for facial recognition, smartphone spyware, and nationwide license plate tracking through private firms like Flock Safety—arguing it merges corporate spying with state power to create a total surveillance grid under the illusion of border security. [00:14:31] – The Antifa Pretext for Total ControlKnight explains how Trump's executive order designating Antifa as a terrorist group became the legal precedent for labeling political dissent as terrorism. He says both parties now exploit “terror” labels to justify domestic warfare against citizens and erase due process under the banner of national security. [00:33:26] – Chaos Economics & Argentina FirstKnight blasts Trump's contradictory trade policies—tariffs, bailouts, and central planning—that reward Argentina while destroying American markets. He argues Trump's policies prove that “America First” has morphed into “Argentina First,” serving foreign economies at the expense of U.S. farmers and sovereignty. [00:59:11] – Local News RevolutionKnight interviews YourNews.com founder Sam Anthony about rebuilding journalism from the ground up. The platform empowers citizens to publish and monetize local reporting, creating a free-speech alternative to collapsing corporate media monopolies. [01:53:21] – AI Abuse & Technocratic SlaveryKnight reveals that AI firms exploit cheap foreign labor to label violent and graphic images for training datasets. He calls it the “digital sweatshop of the technocracy,” arguing that elites are building artificial intelligence on human suffering while preparing to enslave the public under digital IDs and algorithmic control. [02:04:12] – Gold Chaos & The Silver ShortageTony Arterburn joins to discuss gold and silver volatility, India's silver crisis, and central banks hoarding precious metals. They frame the metals market as a barometer of global instability, arguing that physical assets remain the last defense against fiat collapse and digital currency tyranny. [02:49:40] – Europe's War Fever & The Coming CollapseKnight exposes NATO and EU plans for a war with Russia by 2028, calling it “government-assisted suicide.” He argues Western elites are manufacturing war to distract from economic collapse and civil unrest, while globalists like Steve Bannon fantasize about a permanent Trump regime to manage the chaos.

In one of our most important episodes ever, Curtis interviews Diana West to discuss how 9/11 was the key event used by globalists to grow, promote, and protect the Islamic jihad worldwide. It didn't stop the movement; it was the catalyst to fertilize the “holy war” against Christian Western Civilization. Elites conspired to resettle Muslims displaced by their endless wars in America and Europe. Western populations were diluted and made ripe for conquest. Now is the time to stand with courage and awaken others to stop the Islamification of America. To watch the video: https://rumble.com/v70qo5s-islams-conquest-of-america-with-diana-west.html

Every family has its own rhythm. Some love cooking together, some bond over board games and some, believe it or not, enjoy arguing for fun. To them, debating ideas and challenging each other isn't conflict; it's connection.But what feels like playful banter to one person can feel like chaos, criticism, or even emotional danger to another. So how do you know when spirited debate crosses the line? And how do you create a home where everyone feels heard and safe, whether they love to spar or prefer peace and quiet?In this episode, we'll explore why some families naturally fall into patterns of “recreational arguing,” what emotional needs this dynamic can meet, and how to find the right balance between healthy expression and emotional safety.Jennifer's Takeaways:Recreational Arguing in Families (00:00)Neuroscience Behind Recreational Arguing (01:43)Balancing Fun Debates with Emotional Safety (03:39)Teaching Kids Awareness and Respect (06:00)Managing Intense Family Interactions (07:38)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

//The Wire//2300Z October 23, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UNREST CONTINUES IN IRELAND AS CENSORSHIP CRACKDOWN INTENSIFIES. ILLEGAL MIGRANT FROM INDIA CAUSES FATAL CRASH IN CALIFORNIA. MIGRANT WOES CONTINUE THROUGHOUT EUROPE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war continues as before. Following Israeli strikes in Lebanon a few days ago, more significant airstrikes were reported in southern Lebanon overnight. Yesterday evening the Israeli Knesset voted to annex the West Bank, a move which has drawn slight criticism from the United States due to the war continuing to widen after the ceasefire was broken last week. SECSTATE Marco Rubio condemned this vote and VP Vance stated that Israel will not be allowed to annex the West Bank.Italy: A man was arrested on Tuesday after attempting to kidnap a child from a stroller near the train station in Bologna. Local authorities state that the man, who is an illegal immigrant from Gambia, approached a family on the sidewalk and attempted to grab their newborn child from their stroller. After local citizens fought back against him, he fled the scene before being arrested later in an adjacent park. The suspect has not been identified due to allegedly being a juvenile, but locals did state that he was an asylum seeker living at the local migrant housing complex near the attack site.-HomeFront-California: The driver of a semi truck who caused a fatal pileup on I-10 yesterday has been arrested. Jashanpreet Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, was arrested on multiple counts after the crash, including DUI. 3x people were killed during the crash, and 4x others wounded.Analyst Comment: Singh was illegally in the United States after walking over the southern border in 2022. After being initially detained, he was released into society by Customs and Border Patrol due to the catch-and-release open-border policy at the time.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Ireland, the situation remains as tense as expected. One of the major issues with discerning the truth regarding events on the ground is the now-infamous Online Safety Act, which has been adopted by the European Union as the Digital Services Act (DSA) This is more or less the EU copying Starmer's homework and bringing the Online Safety Act to most of Europe. The DSA and the local regulations put into effect by the Irish government (most notably the chairman of the media commission Jeremy Godfrey) have resulted in a lot of the footage of protest activity being banned from being seen from Irish IP addresses. Users on X for example, have noted that their content is banned from view in Ireland, even content that is benign in nature but related to protest activity. This means that either the Irish government and/or the European Commission itself has ordered X to remove certain content by flagging it as "adult content" and thus subject to the Digital Services Act.In other words, exactly what everyone thought would happen, has happened. And not only happened once, but has been industrialized. Content which makes government agencies look bad, or otherwise highlights the crimes of violent migrants gets flagged as "adult content" and therefore is subject to censorship via the Online Safety Act and requires a photo ID (or a digital ID) to see. Right now, there are probably a lot of people in Ireland that have no understanding of the scale of protests and demonstrations (or even what the issue is all about) due to this censorship. This has been made worse by other larger issues that have actually made it into the mainstream press.Yesterday, the family of Josef Puska was sentenced for their various roles in the murder of Ashling Murphy. These sentences have inflamed tensions once more due to the nature of the crime itself, and the systemic coverup of the incident. While walking on a hiking path back in 20

Pastors' Point of View Ep. 379 with Dr. Andy Woods “Prophecy Update”In today's Pastors' Point of View: Peace TreatyGlobalismEurocentric NWOGlobal ReligionAre we watching prophecy unfold in real-time? The psychology of desperation is setting the stage for what Scripture predicted thousands of years ago.Israel is searching for another Cyrus—a deliverer, a protector, a guarantor of peace. Billboards across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are already declaring modern leaders as their "Cyrus the Great." But this desperate search for security reveals something deeper: a nation primed to embrace a false peace that won't last.Daniel 9:27 tells us the tribulation period will begin with a treaty between the Antichrist and Israel. What we're seeing today isn't just politics—it's prophetic preparation. From peace deals that Hamas openly admits are just temporary truces, to global carbon taxes pushing us toward one-world government, to interfaith dialogue merging world religions, the pieces are coming together.The Trump peace plan may have freed hostages, but it's a band-aid over a wound that won't heal until Israel receives her true King. Hamas leaders have already stated they don't even have a word for "peace"—only "truce." They're regrouping, not surrendering.Meanwhile, Europe is consolidating power, the Vatican is opening Muslim prayer rooms, and global governance is being pushed under the guise of climate crisis. Everything the Bible predicted about the end times is accelerating.But here's the hope: before the tribulation begins, the church will be removed in the rapture. Titus 2:13 calls this our "blessed hope." The world is being prepared for judgment, but believers are being prepared for glory.The signs are undeniable. The stage is set. Are you ready?#BibleProphecy #EndTimes #Daniel927 #BlessedHope #Rapture #ProphecyUpdate #Israel #GlobalGovernment #OneWorldReligion #LastDays

Europe has a new entry/exit system based on biometric data. But what exactly is the science behind biometric data, how can we ensure it's used responsibly, and can it be cracked?We also look at how some animals use dung as biometric data with Dr. Adrian Shrader, how your walk can be used to ID you from Professor Mark Nixon, and why gold has its own special measurement. All that plus many more Unexpected Elements.Presenter: Marnie Chesterton Producers: Margaret Sessa-Hawkins with Lucy Davies and Robbie Wojciechowski

Why is your rent so high? What are the policies that created this housing crisis, and what policies can get us out of it? This week we launch the first two parts of our new series, ‘Who Does It Best?'. At a time when many people feel like their governments are not taking care of them, we wondered: how do policies actually shape our daily lives? And are there places getting it right?    In Housing Part 1, Katz takes us on a journey through Vienna, Finland, and Paris, looking for Europe's most ambitious housing policies and what we can learn from them (and maybe even copy?!). But first, Katz and Dominic sit down to face the elephant in the room: money, housing, and inheritance.   If you're curious about where you stand on your country's wealth ladder, you can find the World Bank's wealth calculator here.    If you want to know your renters' rights, many countries have renters' unions that give (legal) advice. Here is the Dutch one: Woonbond.   Interested in hearing more radio that looks at how politics gets into our intimate lives? Journalist Anna Sale's book and podcast “about the things we think about a lot and need to talk about more” have been a huge inspiration for this podcast.   And most importantly, this series was fully funded by you - our listeners!
