Twenty-five years after September 11th, Guantánamo Bay is still open. Fifteen men are still held there. Six have never been charged with anything at all. And on August 26, 2026, a military judge finally set a trial date for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three co-defendants: June 5, 2028, nearly 27 years after the attacks. In the first episode of Immigrantly's three-part 9/11 at 25 series, Saadia Khan sits down with Shayana Kadidal, Senior Managing Attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, who has litigated Guantánamo cases since 2002. He filed the first habeas petition on behalf of detainees when no one in Washington would carry the papers to the courthouse. He was one of the first lawyers allowed onto the base. This conversation covers what actually built Guantánamo and what has kept it standing through four presidencies: • Why the first people held at Guantánamo were not Muslims, but Black Haitian refugees intercepted at sea in 1991• How the U.S. filled the prison using leaflets and $5,000 bounties, not battlefield capture• The domestic sweeps of South Asian and Arab Muslim men, held in secret immigration hearings with their names erased from the public docket• Mohammed al-Qahtani, a schizophrenic man held roughly two decades, much of it in solitary confinement, and Abu Zubaydah, the first man waterboarded, still never charged• Guled Duran, cleared for release by six agencies, whose habeas petition has sat with a judge for a decade• Why the torture evidence argument is not the reason these cases never went to trial• And what it means that the Trump administration flew roughly 500 immigrants to Guantánamo between February and June 2025, at a reported cost of about $100,000 per person per day The machinery built in 2001 was never dismantled. Machinery that isn't dismantled gets used again on somebody else. Saadia's take: she is not here to acknowledge the anniversary. She is here to audit it. Learn more about the Center for Constitutional Rights at ccrjustice.org, or follow @ccrjustice. Next Tuesday: a woman whose father, a firefighter, went into the towers and did not come out. She was six. She has spent the years since objecting to what this country did to Muslims in her family's name.

Stevie, Pappy and Josh can't handle the truth. (Thanks, Madison, for the Patreon request!) ********************** Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is a military lawyer defending two U.S. Marines charged with killing a fellow Marine at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. Although Kaffee is known for seeking plea bargains, a fellow lawyer, Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), convinces him that the accused marines were most likely carrying out an order from a commanding officer. Kaffee takes a risk by calling Col. Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) to the stand in an effort to uncover the conspiracy. Release date December 9, 1992 (USA) Director Rob Reiner Story by Aaron Sorkin
On the Air with Florenza | Joshua Colangelo-Bryan Some stories challenge what we know. Others challenge what we believe. This week, attorney and human rights advocate Joshua Colangelo-Bryan joins me to discuss Through the Gates of Hell: American Injustice at Guantanamo Bay—the extraordinary true story of one lawyer's fight for justice, the unlikely friendship that emerged behind prison walls, and the human cost of a system operating beyond the reach of ordinary law. This isn't just a conversation about Guantánamo Bay; it's about courage, compassion, and what it means to stand beside another human being when the world has already turned away. Whether you're passionate about justice, fascinated by true stories, or simply enjoy conversations that stay with you long after they end, you won't want to miss this one.
Is Luis Elizondo about to become the U.S. government's first "UFO Czar?" In this explosive episode of UFO Warning, we investigate the growing controversy surrounding former Pentagon intelligence officer Luis Elizondo and anonymous UAP researcher UAP Gerb.We take a deep dive into Elizondo's military and intelligence career, including his service in Afghanistan, counterterrorism operations, and his classified work at Guantánamo Bay's notorious Camp Seven. What do we actually know about his role? Did he participate in interrogations, enhanced interrogation techniques, or waterboarding? We separate documented facts from internet rumors and examine what the public record really says.Next, we explore UAP Gerb's recent claims that Elizondo could become the next White House "UFO Czar." What exactly is a UFO Czar? Does such a position exist? What authority would it have over AARO, the Pentagon, the intelligence community, and UFO disclosure? Could one official control the release of classified UAP information—or would the role simply coordinate investigations across multiple government agencies?We also examine the growing divide within the UFO disclosure movement. Is Luis Elizondo a genuine whistleblower working to reveal the truth, or is he part of a carefully managed disclosure process? Why has UAP Gerb become one of Elizondo's most vocal critics, and how has Elizondo responded?Join UFO Warning as we separate fact from speculation, explore the latest developments in the UFO disclosure debate, and examine one of the most controversial stories in the UAP community today.
In Cast Out: A Call For A Forgiving Society in an Age of Incarceration (Beacon Press, 2026), civil rights lawyer Joseph Margulies insists that those who commit even the most heinous crimes are one of us and should be judged in a spirit of forgiveness. He explains that American society is too often unforgiving, preferring to cast out those we consider irredeemable by fixating narrowly on the question What did they do? and imagining that those who have done great wrongs have no past worth learning and no future worth preserving.Through intimate interviews, his rich chapters bring to life 6 men and women, sharing their (sometimes brutal) crimes, the grim but all-too-human paths that led them there, and their evolution and insights. Eye-opening and unflinching, Cast Out makes us truly see those society locks away—the so-called “worst of the worst.” It challenges the reader to see us in them and them in us, and in that way, to recognize the humanity we all share. Guest: Joseph Margulies is a writer, litigator, Professor of the Practice of Law and Government at Cornell University. He was Counsel of Record in Rasul v. Bush (2004), and in Munaf v. Geren (2008).

President Donald Trump blew up the temporary ceasefire after the U.S. launched a series of airstrikes against Iran over the weekend. The two nations have continued to exchange strikes throughout the week, with Iran targeting U.S. allies in the Middle East, as Congress debates further entangling the United States military with Israel — a proposal that would give Israel enormous leverage over U.S. defense policy.“This is a formula for a forever war,” national security reporter Spencer Ackerman tells The Intercept Briefing. A major champion of such forever wars was Sen. Lindsey Graham, who passed away over the weekend. “Lindsey Graham never met a war he didn't like, never met a war he didn't want to send other people's children to wage,” says Ackerman, who writes the Substack Forever Wars. “The white whale for Lindsey Graham and many others in the bridge between neoconservatism and MAGA was Iran — assaulting Iran not only at home, but rolling back its regional challenge to U.S. and Israeli power in the Middle East.”“Whatever else MAGA says about wars,” says Ackerman, “what it wants is domination. It wants domination not only at home, but abroad. That's where Graham recognized — that instead of being someone like John McCain, who sought to occasionally butt against, fight against Donald Trump — that Graham could help maneuver Trump into being a vehicle for their shared project. And he did that with really tremendous success.”“You are seeing a more rent-seeking U.S. empire than ever before as a defining characteristic … of the Trump-era empire,” says Ackerman, on the administration's thirst to turn countries in its orbit, like Venezuela, into “vassal that pay tribute.” “This is the sort of thing that an empire in decline does. Rather than figuring out new strategies to growth, it redistributes wealth from its own people to its driving oligarchic sectors.”Ackerman has reported from Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay, and many U.S. bases. He currently writes for Zeteo and Forever Wars, where you can sign up for his newsletter. Politics reporter Akela Lacy also drops in to discuss how the turmoil at home and abroad is impacting the midterms. After Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner dropped out of the race, Lacy says, “Maine Democrats are in a situation where they're all trying to become the nominee that the party picks to replace Platner on the ballot to go against Collins in November. Many of those candidates have now come out and called to abolish ICE outright after the shooting in Maine.”Keep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

The Americans are very proud of their written constitution. During the first 3/8 of President Trump's second term of office, the constitution has been severely tested. Where has the Constitution succeeded in providing legal safeguards, clarity and stability, and where has it failed? How will the remainder of this presidency look? And what is coming after Trump? This lecture was recorded by Clive Stafford Smith on the 4th of June 2026Clive Stafford Smith JD OBE is a dual UK-US national, the founder and director of the Justice League a non-profit human rights training centre focused on fostering the next generation of advocates. He was the Senior Prefect at Radley College, where he studied maths and science; then a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), where he took a degree in Politics; and a Stone Merit Scholar each of his three years at Columbia Law School, graduating in 1984. He previously founded and directed the legal action charities Louisiana Capital Assistance Center (1993 in New Orleans) and Reprieve (1999 in London). Since 1984 he has tried many capital cases, and helped to represent over 400 people facing execution in the US and elsewhere. He also brought the first challenge to Guantánamo Bay, where he has secured the release of 87 detainees, and continues to assist the remaining 15. In all five of the cases he has helped bring to the U.S. Supreme Court the petitioner has prevailed. He has recently taken on the case of Aafia Siddiqui, the woman who has most suffered from the US rendition-to-torture program – abducted with her three children. He continues to work on capital cases in the US, including a Post-Mortem Project where he is investigating the claims of innocence of 184 people executed since 1977.Clive has published a number of books including Bad Men (2008, describing work in Guantánamo) and Injustice (2012, on the capital case of Kris Maharaj), both of which were short-listed for the Orwell Prize; and most recently The Far Side of the Moon (2023), deconstructing the parallel lives of his father and a client Larry Lonchar, both of whom were labelled Bipolar. He has many other publications, including manuals for the defence of capital cases, and law review articles about aspects of capital defence. He has worked on many films and documentaries, starting with Fourteen Days In May (1987), recently ranked as one of the top BBC documentaries of all time. While continuing his litigation practice, Clive teaches part time at Bristol Law School as well as running a summer programme for 35 students in Dorset, his home. He has received all kinds of awards in recognition of his work, including an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II for “services to humanity” in 2000. He has been a member of the Louisiana State Bar since 1984.

Before WikiLeaks became one of the most controversial organisations in the world, Julian Assange was a teenage hacker from Australia with a fascination for secrecy. In this episode, we trace Assange's journey from hacking NASA and the Pentagon to developing the philosophy that would eventually underpin WikiLeaks. We unpack the leaks that first put the organisation on the map, from government corruption in Kenya and Guantánamo Bay documents to Scientology secrets and Australia's internet censorship blacklist. And finally, we meet the whistleblower who would change everything: Chelsea Manning. Part Two is out now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La visita de Pete Hegseth a Guantánamo, las sanciones contra CUPET, la apertura económica anunciada por Díaz-Canel, un sismo histórico y nuevas protestas marcaron la agenda informativa de la semana en Cuba.
La visita del Secretario de Guerra de Estados Unidos, Pete Hegseth, a la Base Naval de Guantánamo marca un nuevo capítulo en la creciente tensión entre Washington y La Habana.
La semana pasada el departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos imputó a Raúl Castro. Le acusa de cuatro cargos de asesinato y dos de destrucción de aeronaves. El caso se remonta a 1996, pero muchos exiliados aún lo recuerdan. El ejército cubano, en aquel entonces comandado por Raúl Castro, ordenó disparar contra dos avionetas de la ONG Hermanos al Rescate que recogían balseros a la deriva en el estrecho de la Florida. Murieron cuatro personas, tres de ellas de nacionalidad estadounidense. La imputación se anunció en un lugar muy simbólico para los exiliados, la Torre de la Libertad de Miami. Los más mayores llevaban 30 años esperándolo, pero el destinatario real no eran ellos, ni siquiera Raúl Castro, sino el gobierno cubano presidido por Miguel Díaz-Canel. Deberían estar preocupados ya que Castro se incorpora a la lista de jefes de Estado señalados por la justicia estadounidense. Nicolás Maduro se encontraba en la misma situación y fueron a capturarle a Caracas en enero. No es la primera vez que se tensan las relaciones entre EEUU y Cuba, pero esta vez hay algo diferente. Tenemos a un presidente dispuesto a emplear la fuerza sin escrúpulos, el régimen agoniza y el secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, es hijo del exilio cubano, por lo que, para él, se despacha aquí un asunto personal. Por de pronto la isla se encuentra sin combustible y se han activado todas las sanciones secundarias. En Washington han desempolvado la vieja doctrina Mallory de 1960 que buscaba rendir al castrismo mediante la presión económica. El problema es que la asfixia económica solo funciona si después viene algo, y ese algo no aparece. Díaz-Canel sigue gobernando y los tres pilares del régimen, el ministerio del Interior, las Fuerzas Armadas y el partido comunista, se mantienen en pie. Raúl Castro, además, no es Maduro ni el castrismo es el chavismo. En Venezuela gobierna una banda criminal con facciones enfrentadas, Cuba es un Estado totalitario mucho más clásico con un aparato represivo que funciona muy bien. Para una posible intervención Trump ha buscado algunas justificaciones como que desde Cuba los rusos y los chinos espían a EEUU, o una supuesta compra de 300 drones para atacar Guantánamo y e incluso Cayo Hueso. No parecen muy creíbles. No tendría mucho sentido que el régimen regale semejante casus belli a la mayor potencia militar del mundo. La presión militar se ha intensificado. El portaviones Nimitz llegó al Caribe hace unos días, el director de la CIA, John Ratcliffe, viajó a La Habana, quizá para entregar un ultimátum. En el caso de que los estadounidenses quisiesen intervenir por la fuerza lo tendrían sencillo ya que el ejercito cubano es minúsculo y carece de armamento moderno. La pregunta no es si Trump puede tomar la isla, cosa que parece obvia, sino qué haría después. El precedente iraní demuestra que el poder aéreo no trae cambios de régimen por sí solo. Quedan dos opciones, una operación quirúrgica para capturar a Raúl, un nonagenario ya retirado, o una invasión a gran escala que dejaría a Estados Unidos administrando un país de 10 millones de cubanos hambrientos. La tercera, la de que se produzca una rebelión interna, es menos probable. En 67 años de historia los cubanos han preferido marcharse a rebelarse conocedores de los costes de hacer lo segundo. Trump se las promete muy felices, está convencido de que será él quien acabe con el castrismo después de casi siete décadas. Falta saber si este fósil viviente de la guerra fría dará un paso atrás o preferirá, fiel a su divisa, la patria o la muerte. La respuesta seguramente llegue antes de fin de año.

El gobierno de los Estados Unidos sancionó financieramente a la cúpula de la inteligencia de Cuba tras revelarse que La Habana adquirió más de 300 drones militares de Rusia e Irán. La medida responde a la preocupación del Pentágono por posibles amenazas asimétricas contra Florida y la base naval de Guantánamo.

Sounds of Justice, the fourth series in the Global Campus “To the Righthouse” podcast programme, explores the deep and often surprising connections between music and human rights. Taking inspiration from The Routledge Companion to Music and Human Rights, it travels across genres, geographies and histories to look at the role of music in advancing empathy, solidarity, identity and resistance to injustice.Aimed at music-makers, change-makers and anyone with an interest in music, social justice and the connections between them, Sounds of Justice is an invitation to listen afresh, to imagine anew and to be moved to action. The series is hosted by Ignacio Saiz who designed it in collaboration with advisors Angela Impey and Julian Fifer. It brings together leading voices from across the music, social justice and human rights fields, including Manfred Nowak, George Ulrich, Shana Redmond, Rasika Ajotikar, Christina Hazboun, Rachel Harris, Mansoor Adayfi, César Rodríguez-Garavito and Rebecca Dirksen.The first episode teases out the different dimensions of the relationship between music and human rights. The four guests, all co-editors of the Routledge Companion, explore what the language of music and the values of human rights have in common; and how music's capacity to connect us to our common humanity while attuning us to difference can power ongoing struggles for justice.This episode explores how music has been used as an instrument of human rights abuse in different contexts, from torture and ill-treatment in US detention centers in Guantánamo to forced assimilation of Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Region in China. It also reveals how music can restore humanity and identity in the face of brutality and erasure.* Mansoor Adayfi-441is a Yemeni writer, activist, and former Guantánamo Bay detainee, imprisoned for nearly 15 years without charge. Since his release, he has become a committed advocate for human rights, highlighting the experiences of former detainees and the global consequences of the War on Terror. He is the author of Don't Forget Us Here and the recently released Letter from Guantánamo. As the Guantánamo Project Coordinator at CAGE International, Mansoor co founded the Guantánamo Survivors Fund (GSF). * Rachel Harrisis Professor of Ethnomusicology at SOAS, University of London. She has published extensively on music and religious practice in Central Asia, and the politics of ethnicity and heritage in China. Her latest book is Soundscapes of Uyghur Islam (Indiana University Press). Her current project, “Maqām Beyond Nation” (2023-2028) explores maqām-based music-making across Asia, connecting histories of mobility and exchange with contemporary flows of people and culture.* Manfred Nowakis Professor of International Human Rights Law at the University of Vienna and Secretary General of the Global Campus of Human Rights. Among many expert functions, he was UN Special Rapporteur on Torture (2004-2010).
Right On Radio goes live on Friday the 13th (March 13, 2026) with the host opening in a candid, sometimes irreverent mood — mixing jokes, cultural commentary and a deep dive into faith, free speech, and current events. The show begins with a special edition of the game segment "Word on Word," where three scripture passages are offered for listeners to weigh: Genesis 1:1, Romans 8:28, and the controversial Leviticus 20:13. The host explains why the third verse was read on air and frames the choice against the backdrop of new Canadian legislation (Bill C-9) and concerns about censorship. The episode includes a frank readout of private text exchanges with recurring guest Boyd Anderson, touching on crypto, MH370 theories, and political numerology. The host shares his reaction to Boyd's messages and reflects on trust, restoration, and authenticity when guests engage a Christian audience. Major platform news is discussed at length: Podbean's announcement to discontinue live streaming and recent regional restrictions on ad revenue for Canadian-origin podcasts. The host explains how Podbean's shift toward AI-generated content and regional changes will impact his production, revenue, and ability to livestream, and explores alternatives and the broader implications for censorship and creator independence. Political and media criticism features prominently. Clips and commentary include reactions to Tucker Carlson and Redacted, a notable quote from Brett Weinstein about an apparent “endgame” dynamic, and a critical look at Candace Owens' Bride of Charlie series — particularly the scrutiny around Erica (Frantz) Kirk's sudden rise and recent appointment to the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. The show also examines high‑profile security and justice claims: a circulated report about a $500 million Guantánamo expansion, frequent flights to Gitmo, and the suggestion that military tribunals may be underway for national‑security cases. Related theories are discussed alongside a claim about a Trump speech green screen signal and a speculative thread invoking Section 4 of the 14th Amendment as a constitutional mechanism to reset parts of U.S. debt — all framed as material the host finds intriguing but that listeners should evaluate critically. Rounding out the episode are cultural conspiracy takes — from celebrity imagery and ‘memory erasure' theories to anecdotal posts about blonde‑hair symbolism — and a preview of upcoming programming: a Sunday Bible study and Saturday night prayer on Telegram. The host closes by inviting listeners to engage, pray, and “love your God, love your family, love your neighbor,” while promising further coverage of the topics above on future shows.

This lecture was recorded by Clive Stafford Smith on the 9th of February 2026 at Bernard's Inn Hall, LondonClive Stafford Smith JD OBE is a dual UK-US national, the founder and director of the Justice League a non-profit human rights training centre focused on fostering the next generation of advocates.

He has many other publications, including manuals for the defence of capital cases, and law review articles about aspects of capital defence. He has worked on many films and documentaries, starting with Fourteen Days In May (1987), recently ranked as one of the top BBC documentaries of all time. While continuing his litigation practice, Clive teaches part time at Bristol Law School and Goldsmiths as well as running a summer programme for 35 students in Dorset, his home. He has received all kinds of awards in recognition of his work, including an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II for “services to humanity” in 2000. He has been a member of the Louisiana State Bar since 1984.

Alex breaks down Reign of Terror by Spencer Ackerman, showing how the post-9/11 “War on Terror” built a permanent national security state with mass surveillance, warrantless wiretaps, secret kill lists, and preemptive detention. Both parties enabled this system: under Bush, the PATRIOT Act, Guantánamo, and aggressive counterterrorism policies expanded state power; Obama preserved drone strikes, surveillance programs, and the bureaucratic machinery of indefinite detention. This infrastructure allowed Trump to militarize immigration enforcement, empower ICE in Minneapolis and nationwide raids, separate families at the border, and use crisis rhetoric and fear-based governance to treat migrants as existential threats while consolidating political power
Al cabo de una intensa andadura por innumerables agrupaciones habaneras, iniciada en la frontera de los años 30 a los 40, donde destacaron la orquesta "Bellamar" de Armando Romeu y la orquesta de René Touzet, el trombonista, arreglista y compositor guantanamero Leopoldo "Pucho" Escalante logró canalizar su pasión por la improvisación y la descarga con la fundación del llamado "Noneto Cubano de Jazz" en el mismo centro de la convulsa década del 60. La aparición del noneto hacia febrero de 1964, bajo la batuta de este destacado músico, con una sonoridad y rítmica enmarcadas básicamente en la corriente del swing, aportó una mayor consistencia a la categoría del jazz en el espectro discográfico cubano. Así recordamos al trombonista Pucho Escalante, uno de los grandes pioneros del jazz que es imprescindible tener en cuenta. A punto de arribar a los 102 años falleció en Nueva York el 17 de octubre de 2021. Había nacido en Yateras, Guantánamo, el 14 de diciembre de 1919. Unos minutos en la criollisima compañía de María Cervantes. Notable pianista, compositora e intérprete, su incesante paso por la radio, las salas teatrales, clubes y cabarets, entre otros escenarios, dejó una impronta de auténtica cubanía. De su padre, el ilustre Ignacio Cervantes, recibió las primeras clases de piano, así como todo un universo melódico que, aparejado al respeto a la música y al público, le acompañó hasta el final de sus días. Gracias a las grabaciones discograficas que registró para la etiqueta Columbia, a partir de los años 20, su arte comenzó a trascender nuestras costas. María abrió un singular camino que tuvo en Bola de Nieve el más alto exponente. Nació en La Habana el 30 de noviembre de 1885. Falleció a los 95 años el 8 de febrero de 1981. Y a propósito de María Cervantes llega a nuestra memoria el Bola. Combinó de manera genial sus grandes cualidades al piano con una originalidad interpretativa aún rara de encontrar en estos tiempos. Con absoluta humildad, siempre fiel a su arte, con mucho sentimiento, hizo suya la canción. Desde el Hotel Internacional de Varadero, como parte del Festival de la Canción del año 1970, llega el inigualable piano man. Probablemente una de sus últimas presentaciones, teniendo en cuenta que fallecería en México un año más tarde, el 2 de octubre de 1971 Casi en la despedida revisitamos el panteón de los pioneros del jazz cubano. La antigua señal de la CMQ de Monte y Prado de finales de 1945, nos recuerda el estilo de Dandy Crawford. Como elemento indispensable en el elenco que proponía el show "El club del Swing", Dandy llamaba la atención con el apoyo de la orquesta CMQ bajo las conducciones de los maestros Alfredo Brito, Armando Romeu y Félix Guerrero. Por entonces el swing y el be bop cautivaban a músicos y bailadores.
From the darkness of Guantánamo Bay to the frontlines of global protest, Moazzam Begg has turned survival into resistance. Detained without charge and now a leading human-rights advocate, Begg reflects on how injustice shaped his activism, why Guantánamo still matters, and why Palestine sits at the heart of today's global moral crisis. On his visit to South Africa, he speaks candidly about apartheid's echoes in Gaza, the criminalisation of protest in the UK and Europe, and how states redefine “terrorism” to silence dissent. He also shares what keeps him awake at night—from Gaza to Sudan—and what keeps him grounded: faith, resilience, and the solidarity he finds among ordinary people. Raw, reflective, and unfiltered—this is a conversation about power, conscience, and why speaking out still matters.
Moment of Clarity - Backstage of Redacted Tonight with Lee Camp
In this episode of Unredacted Tonight, comedian Lee Camp breaks down how impeachment headlines can focus on surprising details while much bigger questions about U.S. foreign policy and international law rarely get the same attention. Using sharp satire and rapid-fire commentary, Lee revisits past impeachment narratives and contrasts them with ongoing debates about military actions, sanctions, and overseas operations that have sparked global scrutiny.Lee runs through a wide range of hot-button topics—Venezuela, Iran, the International Criminal Court, UN officials, Guantánamo, and migrant detention—framing the discussion around accountability, transparency, and the way official justifications are presented to the public. This is political comedy with an investigative edge: expect bold jokes, pointed questions, and a look at how power explains itself when the stakes are international.The episode also introduces a new segment, “Deconstruction,” starting with a hilarious (and uncomfortable) unpacking of nationalism—why people feel intense loyalty to a country, how identity gets simplified into slogans, and how that mindset can shape public opinion and policy. Lee challenges the idea of automatic “team thinking,” spotlighting contradictions in how we choose who deserves empathy, outrage, or support.If you're into political satire, news comedy, and commentary that questions mainstream narratives, this one's for you. Watch to the end for the full “Deconstruction” segment, and if you enjoy this style, like, subscribe, and share to help the video reach more people.My comedy news show Unredacted Tonight airs every Thursday at 7pm ET/ 4pm PT. My livestreams are on Mon and Fri at 3pm ET/ Noon PT and Wednesday at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. I am one of the most censored comedians in America. Thanks for the support!
On today's episode, we discuss Trump's post-Davos push for Greenland, his creation of the elite “Board of Peace” club, and how these moves aim to reshape NATO, the UN, and global power structures. The crew debates whether the Board of Peace is a dangerous billionaire Illuminati-style project or simply a more transparent replacement for today's shadowy “blob” of global elites who already influence policy. They unpack Trump's Greenland negotiations, explaining how tariff threats and security leverage are being used to obtain permanent U.S. “sovereign clumps” of territory on the island, similar to Guantánamo Bay but without paying rent. The conversation revisits Don Lemon and the Minnesota church protest, drawing parallels to FACE Act prosecutions of pro-life activists and raising concerns about unequal enforcement and physical security in houses of worship. In the technology segment, they cover small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) as a safer, “walk-away safe” alternative to large plants, Trump's criticism of Chinese-made wind farms, and the argument that nuclear must anchor any serious energy transition. They also compare EV road-tripping in Teslas versus gas cars, noting route-planning constraints and extra time from detouring to chargers, even as autonomy improves and could make charging stops more tolerable. Finally, they discuss productivity tools like Microsoft Loop and new AI features baked into Windows, weighing collaboration benefits against performance hits and the emerging ability for IT admins to strip unwanted AI components from corporate machines. Don't miss it!
One of the first executive orders issued by President Trump in January was EO 14164 designed to “restore the death penalty”, though actually aimed at far more (including making the prison conditions of those commuted by Biden reflect the “monstrosity” of their crimes). We will explore what this means for the 2,400 people on America's death row, at the same time as reviewing the rising levels of innocent people being executed – my own ‘Post Mortem Project' indicating that as many as 13 percent of those killed since 1976 have strong innocence cases.

En la madrugada del sábado Caracas fue el escenario de la operación "Absolute Resolve", una incursión ejecutada por los Delta Force que capturaron a Nicolás Maduro y a su esposa, Cilia Flores. Tras pasar por la base de Guantánamo, el dictador aterrizó a última hora de la tarde en Nueva York custodiado por la DEA. En estos momentos Maduro se encuentra recluido en el Centro de Detención Metropolitano de Nueva York, donde recaen sobre él cuatro cargos muy graves que podrían acarrearle cadena perpetua. Tras el éxito de la operación, Donald Trump compareció en Mar-a-Lago para anunciar un giro político sorprendente. Rompiendo con su tradicional retórica aislacionista, el presidente aseguró que Estados Unidos asumirá el gobierno de Venezuela de manera indefinida hasta garantizar una transición adecuada. Este plan incluye la toma de control de la industria petrolera y la reconstrucción de una infraestructura que describió como podrida. Aunque Trump presentó la intervención como un acto benévolo para facilitar el regreso de millones de exiliados, su estrategia de construcción nacional plantea serios interrogantes sobre la viabilidad de gobernar un país de 26 millones de habitantes sin un gran despliegue de tropas terrestres. Esta postura contrasta con el tipo de intervenciones previas de su segundo mandato, que hasta ahora habían sido ataques aéreos quirúrgicos en países como Irak, Siria o Irán. Lo de Venezuela, en cambio, se perfila como un esfuerzo de ocupación prolongado, algo que trae a la memoria precedentes muy cercanos en el tiempo como Afganistán o Irak, donde las promesas de estabilidad democrática terminaron en procesos largos y accidentados con resultados cuestionables o abiertamente desastrosos. Son muchos ahora los que tratan de enmarcar la operación como un "Panamá 2.0", en referencia a la invasión de 1989 para capturar a Manuel Noriega. Pero es una comparación un tanto inexacta. Venezuela es doce veces más grande que Panamá y posee una geografía inmensamente más compleja. Mientras que en 1989 Estados Unidos operaba desde sus propias bases dentro del canal con miles de efectivos ya desplegados, en la Venezuela de 2026 debe empezar sin bases, sin jurisdicción propia y sin siquiera una embajada abierta. Además, la potencial resistencia es significativamente mayor: frente a los 15.000 efectivos de Noriega, Venezuela cuenta con un ejército profesional de 120.000 miembros y una milicia civil armada que podría activar una insurgencia de guerrilla urbana y terrorismo. El éxito de esta ambiciosa apuesta dependerá de la capacidad de Trump para transformar esta intervención en una política de Estado que cuente con el apoyo generalizado de los venezolanos y trascienda a su propio mandato. Aunque la justificación petrolera parece algo más material que puramente estratégico ya que EEUU es autosuficiente en ese aspecto, la verdadera ganancia reside en la estabilidad regional y la expulsión de la influencia de China en Hispanoamérica. Si el nuevo gobierno tutelado logra estabilizar la economía y restaurar la democracia, no solo se pondrá fin a décadas de fracaso del socialismo del siglo XXI, sino que se enviará un mensaje de disuasión definitivo a otros regímenes autoritarios, dejando de paso a la camarilla castrista en Cuba en una situación de aislamiento terminal.

La vicepresidenta Delcy Rodríguez exige su liberación. Maduro comparecerá ante un juez federal por narcoterrorismo y otros delitos; la fiscalía pide prisión sin fianza y cadena perpetua, iniciando un proceso penal de alto riesgo. En España, el Gobierno de Pedro Sánchez ve la acción estadounidense como violación del derecho internacional y pide una transición dialogada.

After 9/11, George W. Bush launched a global War on Terror. What followed was an unprecedented expansion of American power, from Guantánamo Bay to drone strikes, mass surveillance to the weaponisation of the financial system. Asked when it would end, Vice-President Dick Cheney replied: ‘Not in our lifetime.' Two decades later, we're still living in its shadow. Aftershock: The War on Terror is a new six-part podcast from the London Review of Books. Daniel Soar, a senior editor at the paper, revisits the magazine's coverage and reflects on the ways 9/11 has changed the world we live in. First episode coming 20 November. Find the series in: Apple Podcasts: https://lrb.me/f16f79 Spotify: https://lrb.me/eb54a6 Or wherever you get your podcasts.

The 9/11 terrorism case has been in legal limbo for more than a decade and many doubt the case will ever make it to take to trial. That's partly because the defendants were tortured in secret CIA prisons, so there are ongoing legal fights over what evidence is admissible. Meanwhile, the accused men are at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and thousands of 9/11 family members wait for a resolution.NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer speaks with two young people whose fathers died in the World Trade Center attacks, as they debate whether the 9/11 defendants should get plea deals.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

Tommy and Ben unpack Trump's cruel and incoherent travel bans, the administration's callous stranding of migrants and ICE agents in Djibouti, the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US and his immediate prosecution, and the revival of the plan to send thousands of migrants to Guantánamo. They also discuss Trump's upcoming North Korea-style military (and birthday) extravaganza and Trump's abuse of the military for his personal interests. Also covered: Israel's interception of Greta Thunberg's Freedom Flotilla to Gaza and her subsequent deportation, the continuing chaos of Israel's disastrous humanitarian aid plan for the strip, Israel arming Gazan clans to fight Hamas, and the intra-MAGA war being waged over Trump's Iran policy. Finally, they take a tour through Tulsi Gabbard's dark twisted nuclear fantasy. Then, the guys speak with Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, about how Covid changed global politics, working with big tech to reduce radicalization, and the need to hold two truths at once when it comes to Gaza. Her new book is a A Different Kind of Power. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
