Ecuador's Los Lobos drug cartel leader, Wilmer "Pipo" Chavarria, has been captured in Spain. He'd been hiding in Europe after faking his own death. The arrest came as Ecuadorians voted not to allow foreign military bases in their country. Also: President Trump calls for the release of the Epstein files; violence erupts in Bangladesh ahead of the deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina's trial verdict; an auction of items from Nazi concentration camps is cancelled; Chile's election results; we visit the Amazon rainforest as COP30 debates soya beans; and Sky Sports ditches its "patronising and sexist" new TikTok.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, JG resurrects one of America's strangest carnival legends: the so-called “Mummy of John Wilkes Booth.” What begins with a mysterious deathbed confession unravels into a 60-year sideshow tour involving embalmed drifters, Civil War conspiracy theories, broken limbs, arsenic preservation, and a carnival circuit that cashed in on America's morbid curiosity. Was the assassin of Abraham Lincoln secretly living under an alias in Texas? Or was his mummified “corpse” just another brilliant piece of ballyhoo? JG digs into eyewitness accounts, bizarre examinations by 1930s physicians, and the odd legacy of Memphis lawyer Finis L. Bates—whose obsession might have created the blueprint for modern macabre tourism. Then, Kat travels to Bern, Switzerland, to explore one of Europe's most unsettling—and surprisingly misunderstood—public monuments: the 16th-century Kindlifresserbrunnen, the “Child-Eater of Bern.” Is this towering baby-devouring ogre a warning rooted in antisemitism? A Renaissance reinterpretation of the Greek titan Cronus? Or simply a nightmare-inducing way to keep children from misbehaving? Kat dives into competing theories, Renaissance symbolism, and the long, strange history of fear-based folklore carved into stone. Stick around for weird Google search stats, existential cat-judgment queries, and why Icelandair may be your gateway to ogre-themed tourism. It's history, horror, hilarity, and human oddness—exactly what you come here for. This Box contains the following ingredients: John Wilkes Booth mummy, Finis L. Bates, David E. George, carnival sideshow history, American oddities, Kindlifresserbrunnen, Child-Eater of Bern, Swiss folklore, Cronus statue, Renaissance sculpture, weird history podcast, bizarre monuments, true oddities.

Welcome to the one hundred sixtieth episode of the #ExpatChat podcast. We explore the latest tax, investment, and financial issues affecting #AustralianExpats. In this episode, Atlas Wealth Group Managing Directors Brett Evans and James Ridley address questions asked on the Expat Facebook Group. In this Q&A-style episode, Brett and James dive into some of the biggest questions expats are asking right now — from tax residency confusion to superannuation rules, property strategies, currency management, and navigating life abroad. They break down how tax residency really works, the difference between the proposed 45-day rule and the long-standing 183-day test, and what expats should keep in mind before making property or mortgage decisions in Australia. Brett and James unpack common myths around superannuation access and clarify that there have been no legislative changes preventing financial advisers from managing super or investment portfolios for US-based clients. Also discussed are practical topics like foreign investment rules, FIRB considerations, depreciation allowances, managing currency exchanges, and how dollar-cost averaging can help avoid unnecessary FX costs. They also touch on medical insurance requirements for returning expats and the importance of keeping a passenger movement record to avoid lifetime loading. Packed with clear explanations and real-world guidance, this episode gives expats and dual citizens the clarity they need to make smarter tax, investment, and lifestyle decisions while living abroad.

World-class historian and Hoover Institution senior fellowVictor Davis Hanson joins Jillian for a masterclass on how crony capitalism, socialism, communism, and religion are intertwined — and why the stakes right now could not be higher A renowned classicist who has spent his life studying war, empires, and the rise and fall of civilizations takes us inside the mind of Karl Marx — who he was, what he believed, and how his theories morphed into the socialist and communist movements that reshaped the world and still haunt us today. We examine the deadly pendulum swing between crony capitalism and communism: how unrestrained, corrupt capitalism breeds the resentment that fuels Marxist revolutions, and how those revolutions inevitably give rise to regimes just as oppressive — if not worse.Victor then takes us back to the teachings of Christ and the religious roots of Western morality to reveal how our concepts of justice, equality, the individual, and the state all began as religious ideals — and how religion itself has been weaponized throughout history for both extraordinary good and staggering harm.From the early church to medieval Europe… from the French and Russian Revolutions, to Mao, the Cold War, Mamdani and the cultural battles of today… Victor walks us through the entire arc of history to explain how we arrived at this moment: a West that is exhausted, divided, and once again flirting with ideologies that have already burned the world down.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Danny and Derek welcome back historian Nick Mulder, writer at Weltinnenpolitik, to discuss Trump's new tariff regime. They get into Trump's focus on taxing goods while leaving finance untouched; how U.S. allies are obediently eating higher economic costs; why this approach resembles a “subscription model” of empire rather than a coherent industrial strategy; early signs of backlash in places like India, Brazil, and Europe; how immigration enforcement and H-1B restrictions now operate as tools of economic coercion; and why sanctions under Trump increasingly fall on partners instead of adversaries.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 14 novembre 2025.Avec cette semaine :Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien helvétique en ligne Blick.CONSOMMATEUR OU CITOYEN : LES CONTRADICTIONS FRANÇAISESDominant dans le commerce en ligne, Shein, le géant chinois de la mode jetable, s'est installé le 5 novembre pour la première fois en boutique, au BHV parisien puis progressivement dans des Galeries Lafayette franchisées à Dijon, Reims, Grenoble, Angers et Limoges. Une arrivée qui provoque un tollé dans le secteur. Spécialiste de la mode éphémère – une production caractérisée par le renouvellement ultra-rapide des collections à des prix cassés dépourvus de normes sociales et environnementales –, le géant chinois a été condamnée à 40 millions d'euros d'amendes par la Direction générale de la répression des fraudes pour « pratiques commerciales trompeuses », puis à 150 millions d'euros par la Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés pour « non-respect du consentement des internautes » dans la collecte de leurs données. Adoptée par l'Assemblée nationale puis amendée par le Sénat en juin 2025, la proposition de loi visant à « démoder la mode éphémère grâce à un système de bonus-malus » revient au cœur des débats.Le chiffre d'affaires de Shein en France (son deuxième marché dans le monde après les États-Unis) était de plus de 1,5 milliard d'euros en 2024. Cette année-là, l'Institut français de la mode a estimé que 35 % des Français ont acheté au moins un produit sur la plateforme Shein, qui compte plus de 12 millions d'utilisateurs par mois. Ces derniers savent pertinemment ce qui est reproché à l'entreprise, ses pratiques contestées et l'impact que son essor à sur le prêt-à-porter français. N'importe. Le caractère compulsif de l'achat est plus fort. Dans un pays pourtant obsédé par la reconquête de sa « souveraineté », qui tient la mondialisation en horreur, le consommateur agit souvent à rebours des convictions du citoyen.Ainsi, si selon un sondage Ipsos BVA, les Français placent sans surprise le prix en tête des critères guidant leurs achats (62 %), devant la qualité (58 %) et la durabilité (32 %) des vêtements, toutefois, 49 % des sondés expriment une « mauvaise opinion » à l'égard de la qualité des produits. Et 52 % désapprouvent l'installation d'une boutique Shein au BHV. Une nette majorité approuverait des mesures « pour freiner le développement des géants chinois de l'habillement en France et en Europe ». En Dr Jekyll et Mr Hyde, nous exigeons du gouvernement ou de l'Union européenne qu'ils régulent les opérateurs dont les pratiques mettent à mal notre économie, nos emplois et la planète, quand nous achetons leurs produits et leurs services. Et ce n'est pas vrai que dans le secteur de la mode ou du textile… Philippe Moati, cofondateur de l'Observatoire société et consommation prévient : « En cas de désaccord entre le citoyen et le consommateur, c'est le consommateur qui gagne quand l'offre est très attractive.COP 30L'objectif de limiter le réchauffement climatique à 1,5°C par rapport à l'ère préindustrielle, figurant dans l'Accord de Paris il y a 10 ans, est « sur le point de s'effondrer », a averti fin septembre le secrétaire général de l'ONU Antonio Guterres. Du 10 au 21 novembre, la COP 30 est réunie à Belém, au Brésil aux portes de l'Amazonie. Le président brésilien Lula entend faire des forêts l'un de ses sujets principaux de cette conférence. Il souhaite y formaliser un fonds d'un nouveau genre, une « Facilité de financement des forêts tropicales » visant 125 milliards de dollars de collecte, placés sur les marchés financiers. Les bénéfices rémunéreront des pays à forte couverture forestière et à faible déforestation pour leurs efforts de conservation. Cinq autres États disposant de forêts tropicales ont rejoint le projet (Colombie, Ghana, République démocratique du Congo, Indonésie et Malaisie). Par ailleurs, cinq pays développés qui pourraient investir à l'avenir travaillent à organiser l'initiative (Allemagne, Émirats arabes unis, France, Norvège et Royaume-Uni).Depuis 2015, chaque pays doit soumettre tous les cinq ans une feuille de route climatique détaillant sa stratégie de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, afin de mesurer leurs efforts pour atteindre les objectifs de l'Accord de Paris. Mais alors que ces « contributions déterminées au niveau national » devaient être rendues avant la fin du mois de septembre, dans un contexte géopolitique tourmenté, où les guerres, les conflits commerciaux et la pression du président américain climatosceptique qui s'est retiré de l'Accord de Paris ont relégué le climat au second plan. Ainsi, la majorité des pays n'avaient pas rendu leur copie à la veille de la conférence, tandis que les États-Unis n'enverront pas de représentants de haut niveau à Belém.En 2019, la Commission européenne lançait le pacte vert pour l'Europe, avec un objectif ambitieux : faire de l'Europe le premier continent climatiquement neutre d'ici à 2050. Mais sous la pression de lobbies agricoles et depuis le virage à droite et à l'extrême droite du Parlement après les élections de 2024, la copie initiale est peu à peu revue à la baisse : abandon de la loi sur les pesticides, assouplissement de la politique agricole commune, remise en question de l'interdiction des voitures thermiques d'ici à 2035, de la finance durable et de la responsabilité des entreprises… En France, après avoir clamé « Make our planet great again (« Rendez sa grandeur à la planète »), Emmanuel Macron se montre moins écologiste au fil de ses deux mandats. Son gouvernement n'a pas tenu sa promesse de sortie du glyphosate en trois ans, a édulcoré la loi zéro artificialisation nette et délivre encore des permis d'hydrocarbures. Il entend compenser son peu d'allant dans le développement des énergies renouvelables par la relance du nucléaire. Cependant, selon un sondage Ipsos, 89% des Français disent leur inquiétude face à l'aggravation de la crise climatique.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Hier, nous revenions avec Laura Martel sur les attentats de Paris et Saint-Denis. Le 13 novembre 2015, des terroristes franco-belges dirigés de Syrie attaquent à la kalachnikov et par commandos-suicide bardés d'explosifs les alentours du Stade de France, les terrasses des bars du centre de Paris et la salle de concert du Bataclan. Aujourd'hui, Manon Chapelain nous emmène en Syrie sur les pistes empruntées par l'organisation État islamique. En 2è partie, les attentats de Londres en juillet 2005. En Syrie, sur les traces de l'État islamique Dix ans après les attentats de Paris et Saint-Denis, les milliers de combattants étrangers partis rejoindre l'organisation État Islamique sont toujours présents sur le territoire syrien. La plupart sont retenus dans les camps et prisons du nord-est du pays. Leur sort est une question épineuse pour le gouvernement de transition, qui doit aussi composer avec la présence de cellules dormantes de l'organisation à travers le pays. Notre correspondante à Damas a parcouru la Syrie à la rencontre de ces jihadistes étrangers et des nostalgiques de l'organisation pour essayer de comprendre ce qui demeure du califat. Un Grand reportage de Manon Chapelain qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Royaume-Uni, le 7 juillet 2005: 20 ans plus tard, des blessures toujours à vif Il y a dix ans, le 13 novembre 2015, Paris et Saint-Denis étaient frappés par une série d'attentats coordonnés, revendiquée par l'État islamique. Bilan :130 morts. Mais ce n'est pas le premier attentat en France. Et ailleurs en Europe, le terrorisme frappe régulièrement depuis longtemps, en particulier au Royaume-Uni. Londres, la capitale, a subi des dizaines d'attentats à travers les siècles : conspiration des poudres en 1605, IRA irlandaise, vague d'attaques au couteau à partir de 2015. Mais la véritable déflagration pour la société britannique, dix ans avant le Bataclan et Saint-Denis, ce sont les attentats du 7 juillet 2005. Au cœur de Londres, quatre bombes explosent en même temps dans les transports. 52 innocents périssent ainsi dans les bus et métro de la capitale. Un Grand reportage d'Emeline Vin qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.  

Au printemps 1991, un vent de panique souffle sur Vienne, en proie aux pulsions d'un tueur en série. Son mode opératoire se précise semaine après semaine, immuable, impitoyable. Il vise les jeunes femmes du quartier rouge, des travailleuses du sexe, embarquées en voiture au beau milieu de la nuit. Leur soi-disant client les emmène à l'abri des regards, en bordure de la capitale autrichienne... On l'appelle « l'étrangleur de Vienne », ou « Jack l'étrangleur », un clin d'oeil morbide à l'éventreur de Londres, du siècle dernier. Il rôde comme une ombre, un fantôme caché au sein même de la société, qui se prend pour Dieu, et s'octroie un droit de vie ou de mort sur ses semblables. Son nom est Jack Unterweger, il est écrivain... Et il a déjà tué.Crimes • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit. Notre collection s'agrandit avec Crimes en Bretagne, Montagne et Provence.

What if the dream trip starts feeling like a job? We sit down with traveler and author Melissa Rodway to unpack the real highs and lows of a life built on movement—starting with a wild childhood year in Western Australia, a no-guidebook leap through Europe in the 90s, and the pre-smartphone hacks that kept her safe and curious in Costa Rica.The story turns when she quits an advertising job and heads to Southeast Asia for months of motion—Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and China—where gritty bus rides collide with occasional five-star stays. Melissa shares how travel fatigue sneaks in, why purpose is the antidote, and the moment a seasoned traveler taught her the hardest lesson of the road: know when to go home. Those long rides turned into pages, and pages into The People You Meet, a witty, honest travel book about culture, food, and the human dramas that follow you across borders.Then we switch gears to a slower kind of adventure: five winter weeks in Quebec City during her year off. Daily cross-country laps on the Plains of Abraham, ice skating under big skies, a Nordic spa two minutes from home, and the electric roar of Carnival with its ice canoe races on the St. Lawrence. We dig into the ice hotel, maple syrup snow taffy, tourtière, French schools for all levels, and why Quebec is built for outdoor lovers in every season—plus practical tips on walkability, ferries to Lévis, nearby trails, and affordable stays that make lingering easy.If you're craving travel that's deeper, steadier, and more you, this conversation is your map.Map of Quebec CityYou can find Melissa:On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fly_travel_media/Her website at: https://flyrodway.comMelissa's book: The People You Meet BookSupport the showPlease download, like, subscribe, share a review, and follow us on your favorite podcasts app and connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wherenextpodcast/View all listening options: https://wherenextpodcast.buzzsprout.com/HostsCarol Springer: https://www.instagram.com/carol.work.lifeKristen: https://www.instagram.com/team_wake/ If you can, please support the show or you can buy us a coffee.

Today's conversation is with Andrew Wade, the founder of The Core Values Channel - a platform dedicated to exploring practical, centrist, and economically literate solutions to Britain's biggest challenges.Andrew's background is in UK manufacturing and international trade, selling British products across Europe and Africa. But after seeing first-hand how political and economic decisions were damaging productivity and punishing working citizens, he decided to step forward with his own plan for national renewal.In this conversation, we dive into his detailed proposals for fixing the UK's cost of living crisis, reducing the national debt, and rebuilding a culture of contribution and productivity. Andrew doesn't just critique the current system, he lays out what a sustainable, fair, and growth-focused Britain could look like.Expect to learn:Why Andrew believes Britain needs a new centrist economic movement with real solutionsHow to solve the cost of living crisis without punishing productive workersWhy cutting benefits is essential and how a community service model could workThe problem with importing non-contributing labour and benefit dependencyHow benefit fraud, “sickfluencers,” and policy loopholes distort welfare budgetsWhy job creation must focus on manufacturing and service sector exportsHow Net Zero policies have been hijacked and the hidden costs of wind and solarWhy Scotland's wind contracts and solar subsidies are damaging food securityThe flaws in Gary Stevenson's wealth tax proposal and Andrew's alternativeWhy the UK already has multiple forms of wealth tax (CGT, IHT, Stamp Duty, Council Tax)How to motivate millionaires and billionaires to fund affordable housing projectsThe failure of “envy taxes” and why income tax reform is key to growthHow immigration and youth policy must shift to reward productivity and contributionWhat individuals can do today to protect themselves from the cost of living crisisToday's episode is optimised by Puresport.

« Je crois être apprécié en Algérie » : une petite phrase signée Laurent Nunez, le ministre français de l'Intérieur, que n'aurait certainement pas prononcée son prédécesseur Bruno Retailleau, très remonté contre l'Algérie. Laurent Nunez, interrogé par La Tribune Dimanche, après la libération cette semaine de l'écrivain franco-algérien Boualem Sansal. « Cette libération a-t-elle été facilitée par le départ de Bruno Retailleau ? », lui demande d'emblée La Tribune Dimanche. « Je ne dirais pas ça, répond diplomatiquement Laurent Nunez, ce qui a permis de renouer avec l'Algérie, c'est d'abord notre volonté affichée, au sein du gouvernement, de rediscuter ». « Vos liens personnels ont-ils pu jouer dans le changement d'attitude d'Alger ? », demande encore le journal au ministre de l'Intérieur qui répond : « Peut-être. J'ai des origines pieds-noirs et je crois être apprécié en Algérie, pays avec lequel j'ai toujours beaucoup travaillé. » Peut-on alors parler de « normalisation » des relations avec l'Algérie ? Évoquant la libération de Boualem Sansal, le ministre parle d'un « geste d'humanité » et « d'un geste d'apaisement ». Évoquant aussi, la situation du journaliste français Christophe Gleize, toujours emprisonné en Algérie, Laurent Nunez explique que « son souhait le plus fort est qu'il soit, lui aussi, libéré ».  Résister à Vladimir Poutine « Les résistants de l'ombre » : c'est ainsi que L'Express appellent celles et ceux qui résistent encore au régime de Vladimir Poutine. Pas question toutefois d'aller à leur rencontre et de les interviewer sur place. « Les conversations, nous dit L'Express, ont eu lieu par la messagerie cryptée Signal. » Deux de ces résistants, « ont préféré garder leur caméra éteinte, au moment de témoigner. Tous ont relu, avant publication, leur interview, pour s'assurer qu'il n'y restait aucune information risquant de les identifier ». L'Express a ainsi interrogé Sofia, une activiste qui a rejoint l'ONG Mémorial, désormais dissoute… mais toujours vivante. Après l'invasion de l'Ukraine, raconte Sofia, « j'ai pensé à quitter le pays, puis je me suis dit : "C'est important de continuer à protester depuis la Russie. Si tout le monde s'en va, qui va agir ici ?" » « Avec Mémorial, raconte encore Sofia, j'organise des envois de lettres aux prisonniers politiques, je cherche des personnes prêtes à travailler avec nous, et je fais de l'activisme mémoriel. Cela consiste à afficher la mémoire dans la rue. » Par exemple, « apporter des fleurs à la pierre des Solovki », dédiée aux victimes du totalitarisme. Ceci étant, Sofia ne se berce pas d'illusions et reconnaît « qu'il est peu probable que l'État russe s'effondre bientôt. » Pagaille « Ailleurs aussi…  C'est le bordel », titre l'hebdomadaire Marianne, « l'instabilité gouvernementale et le désordre parlementaire ne touchent pas seulement Paris. La vie politique à Madrid, à Berlin, à Londres ou à la Haye, apparaît tout aussi tumultueuse ». En France, rappelle Marianne, « les députés français s'écharpent à coups d'amendements et d'invectives, menacent à chaque séance de renverser le quatrième gouvernement depuis septembre 2024, montent et démontent des coalitions plus ou moins baroques au gré des lois proposées. » Mais ce n'est guère mieux ailleurs, estime Marianne, qui prend pour exemple « le blocage budgétaire en Espagne », ou encore « les négociations qui s'étirent pendant des mois, aux Pays-Bas ou en Autriche, pour former des gouvernements stables ». Alors comment expliquer cette instabilité ? L'hebdomadaire rappelle d'abord que « depuis une quarantaine d'années, le continent européen vit à l'heure du néolibéralisme. »  Et pour Marianne, pas de doute : « Le refus de prendre en compte les préoccupations de la majorité populaire, diabolisée, a abouti en Europe à l'émergence de forces politiques populistes qui ont remis en cause le traditionnel bipartisme gauche-droite ».  D'où une instabilité croissante. Insaisissable Courrier international nous conseille la lecture d'un article du journal colombien El Malpensante, au sujet d'un célèbre voleur de livres. « John Alexander Cordona Peluza est connu comme le loup blanc à Bogota, raconte Courrier international. Voleur de livres en plein jour, pratiquement au vu et au su de tous, il tient un commerce clandestin d'ouvrages qui questionnent la société et prônent la rupture. » El Malpensante le décrit comme un homme « au cuir épais tanné par la rue », avec « aux oreilles deux anneaux en métal » et « un double piercing à la bouche ». Alors pourquoi cet homme vole-t-il des livres ? Selon le journaliste d'El Malpensante qui s'est penché sur la question, « il ne vole pas par conviction idéologique. Il ne se voit pas en justicier de la culture, en grand saboteur du système. Les témoignages que j'ai recueillis concordent (précise le journaliste). Pour lui, le vol est une farce conçue au millimètre près. Un mélange de calcul, d'invisibilité et d'adrénaline ». Bref, un voleur littéralement insaisissable...   À lire aussiLibération de Boualem Sansal par l'Algérie: la diplomatie française en question

On today's wide-ranging program, Ralph welcomes David Dayen of “The American Prospect” to discuss the Democrats caving on the shutdown. Then, Ralph speaks to Dani Noble from Jewish Voice for Peace about their BDS campaigns, efforts to block weapons shipments to Israel, and the state of the ceasefire in Gaza. Finally, Ralph speaks to original Nader's Raider Sam Simon about his new memoir, “Dementia Man: An Existential Journey.”David Dayen is the executive editor of the American Prospect, an independent political magazine that aims to advance liberal and progressive goals through reporting, analysis and debate. His work has appeared in the Intercept, HuffPost, the Washington Post, and more. He is the author of Chain of Title: How Three Ordinary Americans Uncovered Wall Street's Great Foreclosure Fraud and Monopolized: Life in the Age of Corporate Power.If Congress is saying: We have the power of the purse, and we have the ability to dictate to the President what he is able to do or not do with federal funding, then why not go the whole way? To me, that was the entire purpose of the shutdown— to stop the President from ignoring Congress and initiating his own prerogatives as it relates to government funding. It is really making Congress completely irrelevant in the process which they constitutionally are supposed to dictate.David DayenEvery time Trump has been in power and there's been a national election, he's lost it. He lost the midterm elections in 2018. He lost the presidential election in 2020. He lost the off-year elections in 2017 and 2019. He lost (just last week) the elections in 2025. He is not equipped to have an agenda that appeals to the American people when he's in power. And so I firmly agree that Democrats are likely to do well in the elections next year, as they just did. The one thing that can stop that is: completely punching your base in the face, after you succeed politically in backing Republicans into a corner.David DayenDani Noble is a Strategic Campaigns Organizer at Jewish Voice for Peace.Israel bonds (which very few people know much about) are direct loans to the Israeli military and government. They are unrestricted. They have no guardrails around what those funds can be used for, et cetera. And this is a main way that the Israeli military and government generate an unrestricted slush fund to be able to continue their genocidal assault on Gaza, to continue funding for the atrocities being committed against Palestinians—even as their government and economy suffers and/or operates with a massive deficit.Dani NobleThis bill would essentially block the Trump administration from delivering some of the deadliest weapons to Israel. So it's an essential, essential step in what we need to do fundamentally—which is a full arms embargo to stop arming the Israeli military and government…It's the most supported piece of legislation in support of Palestinian rights that we've ever seen.Dani NobleSam Simon is an author, playwright, and attorney. His new book Dementia Man: An Existential Journey is based on his award-winning play of the same name.There's also a social cost. A sense that everything I've ever built personally—my cars, my homes, my savings—that were all going to be available as a legacy to my family, they have to be spent in my few years of my life just to keep me alive. There needs to be a community response to that—and that's shorthand for the government. It doesn't force people to go broke to stay alive.Sam SimonNews 11/14/25* This week, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a new tranche of over 20,000 pages of documents related to infamous financier and sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. These documents include damning emails between Epstein and various high-power individuals like Steve Bannon, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and current U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack. However, the emails that have received the most attention are those regarding President Donald Trump. In these emails, Epstein claimed Trump “knew about the girls,” and claimed that, “i [i.e. Epstein] am the one able to take him [i.e. Trump] down.” Perhaps most shocking, Epstein claims to have been with Trump during Thanksgiving in 2017, according to NBC. If true, it would directly contradict Trump's repeated insistence that he had no contact with Epstein since their falling out in the mid 2000s, either 2004 or 2007, per PBS.* The newly released Epstein files reinforce another narrative as well: that Epstein was an asset for Israeli intelligence. Drop Site news has done excellent reporting on Epstein helping to “Broker [an] Israeli Security Agreement With Mongolia,” “Build a Backchannel to Russia Amid [the] Syrian Civil War” and “Sell a Surveillance State to Côte d'Ivoire.” Most recently the independent outlet has published an expose on Epstein's relationship with known Mossad spy Yoni Koren. According to this piece, “Epstein's personal calendars reveal that…[Koren] lived at Epstein's Manhattan apartment for multiple stretches between 2013 and 2016.” There is also evidence that Epstein wired money to Koren. However, the reasons behind this transfer, and the details of their relationship, remain murky.* More Epstein information is likely to be released in the coming days. This week, the longest ever government shutdown in American history concluded with capitulation by centrist Democrats in the Senate. However, the conclusion of the shutdown finally broke the logjam over the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newly elected Democratic Congresswoman from Arizona. Grijalva immediately fulfilled her vow to be the 218th signature on the Discharge Petition forcing a vote on the release of the Epstein files, joining all 213 other House Democrats and four Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace, per the Hill. In her first speech, Grijalva emphatically stated, “Justice cannot wait another day.” House Speaker Johnson has promised to bring the matter to a vote next week and many Republicans who did not sign the petition are expected to vote for it, with sponsors angling for a veto-proof majority. At that point, all eyes will turn to the Senate.* Even still, the Democrats blinking in the government shutdown showdown has infuriated many members of Congress, candidates and Democratic-aligned organizations, who are now calling for Chuck Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader. Journalist Prem Thakker is keeping a running tally of these calls, which so far includes 12 Congressional Democrats – with major names like Pramila Jayapal, Mark Pocan, Rashida Tlaib, and Ro Khanna among them – along with candidates like Seth Moulton, Mallory McMorrow, Saikat Chakrabarti and Graham Platner. Beyond these individuals however, this call has been echoed by groups ranging from Our Revolution to Social Security Works to College Democrats of America, among many others.* Moving to economic matters, one other consequence of the protracted government shutdown is that the Bureau of Labor Statistics was “largely idle,” meaning it did not collect the crucial fiscal information it is responsible for gathering, including October jobs numbers and Consumer Price Index changes. According to POLITICO, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said this information is unlikely to ever be released. She of course blamed that on the opposition in Congress, saying “Democrats may have permanently damaged the federal statistical system.” This is somewhat laughable, as the Trump administration has all but gone to war with the economic data collection functions of the federal government whenever that data has made him look bad.* Another bad sign for the economy in general, and for consumers in particular, is the rise of what are generously called “Flex Loans.” A new investigation by ProPublica in partnership with the Tennessee Lookout, examines the rise of this new strain of ultra-high-interest loan, with annual interest rates as high as 279.5%. This, combined with a lending cap of $4,000 – nine times higher than a traditional payday loan – has led to Advance Financial, the leading lender in Tennessee, suing over 110,000 people across the state since 2015. According to the data, judgments against consumers usually end up in the thousands, and 40% result in garnished wages. Loans of this variety were illegal before 2015, but the Tennessee legislature allowed them through and while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has sought to protect financial services consumers from these types of predatory lending schemes, the Trump administration's attempts to kneecap the agency have rendered it powerless.* Meanwhile, a dearth of consumer protections is yielding horrific consequences in a completely different area: AI. A new CNN report details how ChatGPT encouraged a Texas 23-year-old, Zane Shamblin, to kill himself. In heart-wrenching detail, this story paints a picture of Shamblin on the edge of suicide, and the AI chatbot helping to push him towards death. As Shamblin held a gun to his own head, the bot wrote, “You're not rushing. You're just ready,” later adding, “Rest easy, king…You did good.” According to this piece, the chatbot “repeatedly encouraged [Shamblin] as he discussed ending his life” for months, and “right up to his last moments.” Shamblin's parents are now suing ChatGPT's parent company, OpenAI, alleging the company endangered their son's life by, “tweaking its design last year to be more humanlike and by failing to put enough safeguards on interactions with users in need of emergency help.” The victim's mother, Alicia Shamblin, is quoted saying, “I feel like it's just going to destroy so many lives. It's going to be a family annihilator. It tells you everything you want to hear.”* In more positive consumer protection news, former Biden FTC Chair Lina Khan has hit the ground running in her new role helping to manage the transition for New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Per Semafor, Khan has been “scouring city and state laws — some overlooked by past mayors and some too new to have been tested yet — for legal footing for Mamdani's priorities.” Apparently, “Khan has privately discussed targeting hospitals that bill patients for painkillers available more cheaply at corner drugstores and sports stadiums charging nosebleed prices for concessions,” and “Other avenues for enforcement include a new state law that requires companies to tell customers when they are using algorithmic pricing. The law took effect this week, forcing Uber and DoorDash to start disclosing, but the incoming Mamdani administration plans to police laggards.” In short, it seems like the incoming Mamdani administration will use any and all legal and administrative means at their disposal to bring down costs for New Yorkers – as he promised again and again during the campaign. And, if there is one consumer regulator who can accomplish this, it is Ms. Khan.* Turning to Hollywood, Variety has published a major new piece on newly-minted Paramount CEO David Ellison's first 100 days. This piece covers everything from his attempts to curry favor with President Trump to the battle to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. Buried within this story is an indication that “Paramount maintains a list of talent it will not work with because they are deemed to be ‘overtly antisemitic.'” The criteria for this modern blacklist however is opaque, especially troubling given that Ellison has deputized Bari Weiss – an ardent Zionist and censor of pro-Palestine speech – as the “Editor-in-chief” of CBS News. According to Drop Site, the studio “recently condemned a filmmakers' boycott of Israeli institutions signed by Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, and Olivia Colman, among more than 4,000 others, declaring that Israel is carrying out genocide and apartheid.” Would Ellison blacklist these stars for “overt antisemitism”?* Finally, for some good news, the Economist is out with a stunning article on the success of China's transition to renewable energy. In the much-quoted opening paragraph, this piece reads “The SCALE of the renewables revolution in China is almost too vast for the human mind to grasp. By the end of last year, the country had installed 887 gigawatts of solar-power capacity—close to double Europe's and America's combined total. The 22m tonnes of steel used to build new wind turbines and solar panels in 2024 would have been enough to build a Golden Gate Bridge on every working day of every week that year. China generated 1,826 terawatt-hours of wind and solar electricity in 2024, five times more than the energy contained in all 600 of its nuclear weapons.” If that doesn't demonstrate the horizon of what is possible, given the requisite political will and determination, I don't know what will.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

In the late 1960s, a quiet Bavarian law office became ground zero for one of the most disturbing—and most documented—poltergeist outbreaks in history. Lights blew out. Files flew. Telephones rang with no one on the line. And a parade of baffled experts descended on the building, unable to stop weeks of escalating chaos. Was the Rosenheim case the result of a powerful curse? A witchcraft attack? A psychic meltdown? Or was someone inside the office secretly behind it all? Anne and Renata dig into the evidence, the suspects, and the strange events that still defy explanation. This is one of Europe's most unsettling paranormal mysteries—and it refuses to stay quiet.

Send us a textDr. Joseph Loconte joins Joe for a powerful exploration of faith, imagination, and courage in times of crisis—how two Oxford professors used story to resist the darkness of their age and inspire generations to come.As a historian and author of The War for Middle-earth: J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis Confront the Gathering Storm, 1933–1945, Dr. Loconte reveals how the trauma of the First World War and the rise of totalitarianism shaped the moral imagination of both Tolkien and Lewis. While fascism, communism, and nihilism were eroding meaning across Europe, these two friends responded with mythic tales that reawakened the timeless virtues of courage, friendship, sacrifice, and faith.In this conversation, Joe and Dr. Loconte unpack what it means to lead with conviction in an age of cynicism—how to confront “the gathering storm” of fear and confusion not through force, but through imagination, integrity, and truth. They explore how literature can serve as resistance, how belief can ground moral clarity, and why cultivating the inner life is essential for any leader facing dark times.Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of the moral lessons behind The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia—and how these works still speak to the leaders, soldiers, and citizens called to stand in the breach today.In this episode, Joe and Dr. Loconte also explore:How the First World War shaped Tolkien and Lewis's understanding of evil and heroismWhy the 1920s and 1930s created a “crisis of meaning” across the Western worldHow their friendship became a creative alliance and a moral counteroffensiveWhy The Hobbit and The Chronicles of Narnia are, at their core, acts of defiance against despairWhat “the cataract of nonsense” teaches us about propaganda and the need for historical literacyThe spiritual courage required to use one's gifts—even when the world seems to be falling apartHow both men modeled leadership through faith, fellowship, and imaginationWhether you're leading in the military, education, or business, this episode offers timeless lessons on how conviction, creativity, and courage can help us navigate our own modern storms—and remind us that even in the darkest times, grace and goodness still have the final word.A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.

EPISODE 626 - Suzanne Parry - The Soviet Experience Through Historical Fiction, Pentagon Tour, Iron Maiden of StockholmRaised in a quiet rural corner of western New York State, I didn't always want to be a writer. I was, however, always surrounded by books. Bookcases in every room. Entire walls of them. My mother was an avid reader and regular trips to the library were part of my childhood. My stepfather was a creative writing professor and words floated through the rooms and into the nooks and crannies of that pre-Civil War era farmhouse. Books weren't my escape so much as they were part of my daily diet. At twenty I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish and “write a book” was on it. That list included both measurable things like “learn five foreign languages” and “complete a significant athletic achievement” and less quantifiable items like “make the world a better place.” During the Cold War of my high school and college years, I very much wanted to help reduce the possibility of conflict between the US and the USSR.I earned a bachelor's degree at Purdue University, and then continued my Russian studies at the Pushkin Russian Language Institute in Moscow. I studied Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, received a Master's in 1982 and started a career in public service with the US Department of Defense. My work in the Office of the Secretary of Defense focused on European security issues between NATO, Warsaw Pact, and neutral nations. While at the Pentagon I helped negotiate the Conference on Disarmament in Europe, the first security agreement of the Gorbachev era. At the Stockholm talks as we often called the CDE, a number of my European colleagues jokingly called me the “Iron Maiden of Stockholm” in a not altogether flattering reference to British PM Margaret Thatcher, the original tough-as-nails female negotiator. The many months I spent crafting an agreement with diplomats from thirty-five nations, sitting at a table alongside NATO colleagues and opposite Soviet and Warsaw Pact counterparts, was my great honor.After this heady time, I put most of my energy into raising a large family (requiring its own negotiating skills). Funny enough, having a family was not on that list and yet today I would say without hesitation that the most impactful (and most difficult) thing I've ever done is raise four children. I lived in several countries, including the former Soviet Union, Belgium, Sweden, Singapore, and Germany. Throughout adulthood I've been a committed runner. I've completed dozens of marathons in more than twenty countries, including the fifty-six-mile Comrades Marathon in South Africa. I eventually landed in the wonderful and welcoming city of Portland, Oregon as a single parent. There, I coached high school cross country and track at a large public high school before deciding it wasn't too late to dust off that forty-year-old list and write a book.I now divide my time between Portland and Washington, DC, but also travel for fun, for research, and best of all, to visit my children and grandchildren.https://suzanneparrywrites.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 184 At the center of the Nazi Experiment is the Jewish Question, undeniably. The Jewish Question amounts to asking "what should we do with the Jews?" in this case, in Europe. Across the entirety of his project, Adolf Hitler had a straightforward answer, though the specifics differed: get rid of them, all of them. In fact, he proudly campaigned for himself on the project of "solving the Jewish Question," not just on matters of German national pride or the economy, as is sometimes wrongly reported. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, the ninth volume in the deep Nazi Experiment series, host James Lindsay takes you through Hitler's infamous 1939 speech to the Reichstag as well as a lesser-known letter Hitler wrote in 1919, showing remarkable consistency in Hitler's vision for the Jews over the entirety of the Nazi Experiment. Join him to see, yet again, the ominous parallels to our own time today. Latest from New Discourses Press!

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan explains the sharp drop in U.S. markets, the internal divide inside the Federal Reserve, Trump's push to revive the housing market, and new White House actions on immigration, energy, and manufacturing. He also brings global updates from Iran, Syria, Germany, and Ukraine. Markets Slide After Record High: The Dow fell sharply after reaching a new peak earlier in the week. Bryan notes that overvalued stocks, high levels of margin debt, and concerns about an AI bubble are creating real fear on Wall Street. He warns that the pullback signals deeper economic stress that has been building for months. Federal Reserve Split on Rate Cuts: Fed leaders cannot agree on whether to lower interest rates again. Some point to weakening jobs data, falling retail spending, and rising household debt. Others claim the economy is stable. Bryan counters that missed car payments, climbing credit card balances, and new foreclosures show that ordinary Americans are under serious strain. White House Floats Portable Mortgages: The administration is considering a plan that would let homeowners transfer their low mortgage rates to a new house. Bryan explains that the idea could unlock the frozen housing market. He also highlights JD Vance's argument that deportation of millions of illegal immigrants could free up homes, which mirrors Canada's recent experience. Immigration Crackdown Widens: Trump revived the public charge rule and added new medical screenings to keep out foreigners who are likely to require long-term care. The State Department says the change protects taxpayers and ensures economically stable immigration. Democrats call the policy discriminatory. Trump says it is simply common sense. Energy and Manufacturing Developments: New York approved a natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania after pressure from Washington. Supporters say it will lower electricity costs. Environmental activists are furious. Meanwhile, Toyota announced a fourteen billion dollar hybrid battery plant in North Carolina. Bryan calls it proof that the administration's trade strategy is reshaping global manufacturing. Iran's Water Crisis: Iran's leaders warned the capital city of Tehran could run out of water within weeks. Officials asked citizens to ration water and pray. Bryan argues the crisis reflects decades of corruption and mismanagement inside the regime. Trump Meets Syria's New President: Syria's leader asked the United States for help rebuilding his military. The meeting became awkward when Trump jokingly sprayed him with Trump for Men cologne. Video of JD Vance trying not to laugh has already gone viral. Europe Confronts Migration Fallout: Germany confirmed a polio case traced to an Afghan migrant. The city of Magdeburg canceled its Christmas market because of terror concerns. Bryan says Europe's leaders are refusing to face reality about the risks created by uncontrolled migration. Ukraine Corruption Scandal: Ukrainian officials close to President Zelensky were arrested for stealing one hundred million dollars from the defense ministry. Bryan warns that American and European patience with Kyiv is rapidly fading. Good News for the Weekend: A British study found that walking only fifteen minutes a day can reduce the risk of early death by more than eighty percent. Bryan encourages listeners to get outside, breathe deeply, and enjoy the gift of movement.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Dow market drop, Federal Reserve rate debate, portable mortgages housing policy, Trump immigration public charge, New York natural gas pipeline, Toyota hybrid battery plant, Iran water shortage Tehran, Trump Syria meeting cologne, Germany polio migrant case, Ukraine corruption arrests, fifteen minute walking study

Grammy Nominated Zydeco Master Corey Ledet On a tour through Russia, Ledet was treated like royalty, complete with his own security detail. Fans rushed to touch the band's signature zydeco rubboard — the metal, shoulder-slung vest used to scratch out those infectious rhythms. Enthralled by its sound, they nicknamed it the “magic instrument.”Ledet has taken his music everywhere — Hawaii, Canada, Europe — and always hoped to capture the electricity of his live shows. But the right moment for a live album never quite appeared. That changed when the Anchorage Folk Festival invited him to perform. “When that came up, I thought, this might finally be the chance,” said Ledet, 44, a two-time Grammy nominee. “When I arrived, they had everything ready to record. I started thinking about Clifton Chenier — a lot of his best live cuts were recorded far from home. It worked for the King of Zydeco, so I figured, let me try this.” The result is Live in Alaska — the debut live album from Corey Ledet Zydeco, featuring Ledet's mysterious new accordion, “Black Magic.” After combing through three days of recordings, the band chose 11 tracks that solidify Ledet's well-earned nickname: The Accordion Dragon. The album delivers high-energy, onstage versions of English and Creole favorites from Ledet's 15 previous releases, plus a brand-new track, “Alaska Funk,” an impromptu jam born right there onstage alongside his tight-knit Louisiana crew. website www.CoreyLedet.com Social Media www.Instagram.com/coreyledetzydeco About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.

In this week's episode, both of our storytellers bite off a bit more than they can chew. Part 1: Fresh out of college and in what seems like her dream job, drug and alcohol coach Rhana Hashemi quickly realizes she has no idea how to connect with the high school students she's supposed to help. Part 2: When Paul Davis and his wife struggle to get pregnant, they decide to foster a pregnant dog—and things escalate quickly.Rhana Hashemi is a Bay Area–based drug educator, national expert in youth overdose prevention, and Ph.D. candidate in Social Psychology at Stanford University. Her research adapts Lifting the Bar for youth who use substances. This intervention, called More Than That, elevates youth voices to show educators that a student is "more than" their substance use. By reducing stigma and strengthening student–teacher relationships, she demonstrates how seeing and empowering students can protect against risky drug use. Rhana is also the founder and Executive Director of Know Drugs, the first youth-focused harm reduction organization in the United States, which advances evidence-based drug education for young people. Bridging social psychology with community partnerships, she works to reduce drug misuse and promote more compassionate, effective responses to youth substance use.Paul Davis writes and directs horror movies. His last short won Screamfest and Ravenheart, two of the biggest horror film festivals in the U.S. and Europe. He is currently raising funds to expand it into a feature. Paul is passionate about storytelling. He has had stories air on NPR and published in Reader's Digest. He is also working on a solo-storytelling show.
