Jeff McCausland draws parallels between the performative style of Civil War General Jeb Stuart and current Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. He critiques Hegseth's recent speeches in Singapore, Normandy, and Guantanamo, arguing they prioritize individual image over grand strategy and mark significant, potentially transactional shifts in long-standing U.S. foreign policy toward Taiwan and European allies.

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-12-2026.1903 PRINCETON UNIVERSITYJeff Bliss describes massive, deadly swells hitting California beaches due to a southern hemisphere storm system. The conversation shifts to Las Vegas, where a massive, highly anticipated In-N-Out Burger recently opened on the Strip. Bliss details the chain's reputation for fresh food, cleanliness, and fair employee wages. (1)Jeff Bliss discusses the surprising results of the Los Angeles City Council primary, where Nithya Raman surged despite initially conceding. He highlights allegations of voter fraud in the Skid Row area and the impact of California's ballot harvesting laws. The segment also touches on Xavier Becerra's lead in the governor's race. (2)Richard Epstein analyzes the legal effort to prevent the removal of Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Centerfacade. He argues that the Trump-aligned board's appeal lacks legal merit and strength, as removing a nameplate does not constitute irreparable harm. Epstein suggests the judge should consider firing the current board due to bias. (3)Richard Epstein critiques the construction of the Obama Center in Chicago, lamenting the destruction of 800 historical trees and the seizure of public land. He describes the project's design as a "monstrosity" with a flawed traffic plan and expresses concern over the foundation's lack of financial transparency and endowment. (4)Jim McTague reports on a "budget-minded hesitancy" among Pennsylvania consumers despite falling gas prices. He notes a rare layoff notice for 70 logistics workers and uneven retail activity. Meanwhile, a data center project near Costcoproceeds under heavy security, while a similar proposal was rejected by a neighboring borough. (5)Lorenzo Fiori discusses the "disaster" of the Italian national football team failing to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time. The segment transitions to Pisa, highlighting the prestigious Scuola Normale Superiore and recent astronomical breakthroughs involving the James Webb Space Telescope. Fiori concludes with local wine and culinary recommendations. (6)Bob Zimmerman discusses the crew selection for NASA's Artemis 3 mission, which has been simplified to focus on Earth-orbit docking tests. He also examines private sector developments, including German startup Isar's funding, Stoke Space's reusable rocket design, and an orbital servicing mission by Catalyst intended to rescue a decaying NASAtelescope. (7)Bob Zimmerman honors the late Alan Hale, co-discoverer of the record-setting Comet Hale-Bopp. He reviews the historical significance of the first image of the moon's far side taken by Luna 3 in 1959. The segment also explores current cosmological debates regarding dark energy and the existence of "little red dots" in the early universe. (8)Peter Huessy discusses the history of "tactical" nuclear weapons and the 1950s Desert Rock exercises where U.S. troops were exposed to nuclear detonations. He details the health risks soldiers faced and parallels these actions with Sovietmaneuvers, highlighting the "ludicrous" idea of trying to operate militarily in a post-detonation environment. (9)Peter Huessy explains that Russia views low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons as usable battlefield tools to achieve victory or coerce opponents. He contrasts this with U.S. doctrine, which keeps such weapons under central command. Huessywarns of the lack of transparency regarding China's dual-use nuclear capabilities and Russia's "reckless" potential to use these weapons. (10)Colonel Jeff McCausland discusses stalled negotiations with Iran, noting the heavy influence of the Revolutionary Guard Corps over the diplomatic process. He analyzes the military difficulty of seizing Kharg Island and the profound impact of Ukrainian drones on the Russian front, suggesting that drone saturation has leveled the battlefield and interdicted Russian resupply lines. (11)Jeff McCausland draws parallels between the performative style of Civil War General Jeb Stuart and current Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. He critiques Hegseth's recent speeches in Singapore, Normandy, and Guantanamo, arguing they prioritize individual image over grand strategy and mark significant, potentially transactional shifts in long-standing U.S. foreign policy toward Taiwan and European allies. (12)Veronique de Rugy argues that the U.S. already has the most progressive tax system among OECD countries, with the wealthy paying a disproportionate share of revenue. She critiques Thomas Piketty's proposal for a global wealth tax and mandated "degrowth," characterizing it as an effort to limit national growth under the guise of climate and social justice. (13)Mary Anastasia O'Grady questions the delay in scheduling Venezuelan elections under Delcy Rodriguez. She reports that over 400 political prisoners remain held, and the notorious Helicoide prison remains operational despite contradictory claims. O'Grady notes that the regime lacks the political will to allow a free press or fair electoral body to organize. (14)Conrad Black emphasizes the vital economic ties between the U.S. and Canada, noting Canada provides 25% of U.S.aluminum and 20% of its uranium. He expresses confidence that Prime Minister Mark Carney will build necessary oil pipelines to both coasts to benefit the Canadian economy, despite opposition from environmental groups and Carney's own "green instincts." (15)Francis Rose discusses the U.S. military's efforts to integrate AI by "gamifying" systems to make them intuitive for young, video-game-literate service members. He also highlights CISA's work in rebuilding its workforce to protect private-sector cyber infrastructure and the Army's Joint Innovation Outpost, which aims to accelerate the transition of technology from private inventors to the battlefield. (16)One name correction: (2) Nithia Raman → Nithya Raman (established style for the LA city council member).

On this June 11, 2026 episode of Right On Radio, host Jeff delivers rapid-breaking coverage and big-picture analysis of the day's most consequential stories. He opens with major international developments in the Iran conflict — including U.S. strikes, reported destruction of Iranian defense capabilities, claims about taking Karg Island (a key oil distribution hub), and how control of oil flows mirrors the U.S.–Venezuela model. Jeff connects kinetic military action to a larger battle over the global financial system and the coming shift toward digital currency. The show features and analyzes clips from President Donald J. Trump — on oil interdiction, expected drops in energy prices, the possibility of normalizing Iran through the Abraham Accords, and comments about regime change. Jeff also touches on Q-related communications, Guantanamo imagery, and strategic messaging around Israeli politics and Gaza. Domestically, Jeff breaks down the Save America Act and election-security measures Trump discussed: mandatory photo ID, proof of citizenship, restrictions on mail-in ballots (with exemptions), and the Postal Service's reported plan for unique barcoded ballots. He reviews claims about compromised votes, gerrymandering, accountability efforts, pending arrests, and the political implications for Congress and the 2020 controversy resurfacing. The episode also explores emerging technology and economics: Trump's meeting with top AI executives, the potential of AI to reshape markets and generational wealth, and concerns about which players will dominate the next monetary order. Jeff speculates on equity shifts, data-center viability, and how AI-driven trading could be used to reallocate global assets. North American geopolitics and trade receive attention as well — from U.S.–Canada tensions and the USMCA renewal question to discussions of Canada's internal crises and the idea of tighter continental integration. Jeff plays a highlighted Canadian clip and explains how trade and security friction are influencing broader strategy. Additional items covered: military and diplomatic maneuvers in the Gulf and Cuba (Pete Hegseth and others), domestic policy moves (mortgage/capital gains proposals and Treasury actions), disclosure and the Mass Deception series promotions, sponsor mentions (mushroom supplements and pet treats), and a personal update from Jeff about serious eye-health news and an appeal for listener support. What to expect: hard-hitting commentary that links battlefield events to financial and geopolitical transformations, audio clips from high-profile figures, policy breakdowns affecting elections and trade, technology and AI implications for wealth distribution, and a blend of news, faith-based perspective, and calls-to-action for Jeff's ongoing series and community support.

Hochrangige Militärvertreter der USA und Kubas haben sich am Rande des US-Stützpunkts in Guantanamo Bay zu einem seltenen Treffen über Sicherheitsfragen ausgetauscht. Dabei standen vor allem die Stabilität rund um die Militärbasis und Kommunikationswege zwischen beiden Streitkräften im Fokus.

Ngoại trưởng Mỹ hôm 20/05/2026 tuyên bố Washington « quyết tâm » áp đặt một sự thay đổi cho Cuba ». Marco Rubio ngụ ý nói đến một sự thay đổi chế độ ở La Habana ? Chính quyền Trump siết chặt gọng kềm, bóp ngạt kinh tế Cuba. Bên cạnh yếu tố lịch sử lâu đời, gắn liền Washington với La Habana, Nhà Trắng có nhiều lý do để quan tâm đến Cuba.  Với kinh nghiệm hơn 65 năm gần như liên tục bị trừng phạt, không thể xem nhẹ sức kháng cự của La Habana và nhất là khi hòn đảo này được cả Trung Quốc lẫn Nga hậu thuẫn. Ngay từ nhiệm kỳ đầu, (2016-2020), tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đã khép lại giai đoạn tan băng giữa Washington với La Habana mà người tiền nhiệm Barack Obama đã mở ra khi chính thức nối lại bang giao với Cuba ngày 17/12/2014. Một năm sau khi trở lại Nhà Trắng, từ đầu 2026 bằng nhiều cách, ông Trump tiếp tục gia tăng sức ép với hòn đảo chỉ cách bang Florida, khoảng 150 km : Cắt các nguồn cung cấp dầu hỏa cho Cuba, đứng đầu là Venezuela và Mêhicô; huy động các công cụ pháp lý và quân sự để làm suy yếu chế độ liên tục cầm quyền tại hòn đảo này từ sau cuộc cách mạng năm 1959. Ngoại trưởng Hoa Kỳ, Marco Rubio một người Mỹ gốc Cuba trong một thông điệp bằng tiếng Tây Ban Nha trực tiếp lên án chế độ ở La Habana « tham ô », « cướp bóc » và « đàn áp » nhân dân, đồng thời hứa hẹn tổng thống Trump đề xuất cho gần 12 triệu dân Cuba một « con đường mới ». 66 năm liên tục phong tỏa Cuba Cách nay gần 12 năm, thông báo tái lập quan hệ ngoại giao với Hoa Kỳ, chủ tịch Cuba khi đó là ông Raul Castro đã nhấn mạnh, « Điều đó không có nghĩa là đôi bên đã giải quyết được vấn đề cốt lõi » : Kinh tế Cuba vẫn bị phong tỏa. Từ năm 1960 Hoa Kỳ đã đưa ra nhiều lý do khác nhau để trừng phạt La Habana. Tổng thống Dwight D. Eisenhower của bên đảng Cộng Hòa viện cớ chế độ Fidel Castro tịch thu các tài sản của Hoa Kỳ tại Cuba, để hạn chế nhập khẩu đường từ hòn đảo này vào Mỹ. Hai năm sau đó, cáo buộc La Habana thân thiện với Liên Xô cộng sản, tổng thống phe Dân Chủ J.F Kennedy đã mở rộng các biện pháp trừng phạt và ban hành lệnh « cấm vận ». Cuba trải qua cuộc khủng hoảng kinh tế đầu tiên vào thời điểm ¾ xuất khẩu của Cuba là để hướng tới thị trường Hoa Kỳ và 70 % nhập khẩu phụ thuộc vào đối tác thương mại Bắc Mỹ này. Năm 1991 khi Liên Bang Xô Viết sụp đổ, mở ra viễn cảnh Mỹ bình thường hóa quan hệ với Cuba, thì Washington lại chủ trương gia tăng áp lực để thúc đẩy tiến trình dân chủ hóa tại quốc gia trong tay nhà cách mạng Fidel Castro. 1991-1994 là một thời kỳ « đen tối » đối với Cuba : GDP của nước này sụt giảm 35 %. Năm 1992 lấy cớ đòi Cuba tôn trọng nhân quyền, dưới thời tổng thống G.H Bush, Hạ Viện Mỹ thông qua đạo luật Torricelli mở rộng thêm nữa các biện pháp trừng phạt Cuba. Hai điểm đáng chú ý trong văn bản này. Thứ nhất là Washington cấm các hãng vận tải đường biển nước ngoài làm ăn với Mỹ giao thương với Cuba. Đây là tai họa đối với một quốc đảo như Cuba. Thứ hai là Hoa Kỳ trừng phạt mọi quốc gia « liên đới » với La Habana. Năm 1996 sau vụ hai máy bay của một tổ chức người Cuba lưu vong xuất phát từ bang Florida bị Cuba bắn hạ - Raul Castro khi đó là bộ trưởng Quốc Phòng, tổng thống Bill Clinton bên đảng Dân Chủ còn mạnh tay hơn với La Habana khi đặt bút phê chuẩn đạo luật Helms-Burton. Nhưng chính những đòn trừng phạt mạnh tay đó cũng đã đè nặng lên một phần các quyền lợi của Hoa Kỳ. Đầu những năm 2000 hiệp hội các nông gia Mỹ có nhu cầu xuất khẩu nhiều hơn sang Cuba. Chính quyền G.W Bush tỏ dấu hiệu nhượng bộ nhưng đó chỉ là một « bàn tay sắt trong vỏ bọc nhung ».  Một chuyên gia về Cuba được nguyệt san Le Monde Diplomatique năm 2015 trích dẫn ghi nhận « chính sách trừng phạt của Mỹ đã dẫn tới những hậu quả tai hại về phương diện y tế cho Cuba » : Gần 80 % các bằng sáng chế trong lĩnh vực này đều thuộc chủ quyền của các tập đoàn của Mỹ hay các chi nhánh của họ, cho nên người dân Cuba trong một nhiều thập niên hoàn toàn không được tiếp cận với bất kỳ một tiến bộ nào về mặt khoa học, y tế, thuốc men. Phải đợi đến sự kiện tổng thống Mỹ Barack Obama bắt tay lãnh đạo Cuba Raul Castro nhân một buổi lễ tưởng niệm cố tổng thống Nam Phi, Nelson Mandela cuối 2013, bang giao giữa Hoa Kỳ với một thuộc địa cũ là Cuba mới rẽ sang một khúc quanh mới. Hai cựu tổng thống Mỹ Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton khi đã rút lui khỏi chính trường, lên tiếng chống đối chính sách trừng phạt của Mỹ nhắm vào Cuba. Họ nhìn nhận Washington « hoàn toàn thất bại » trên phương diện này. Tổng thống Trump ở nhiệm kỳ đầu đã chấm dứt chính sách tan băng của người tiền nhiệm Obama và còn mạnh tay hơn nữa từ đầu năm nay. Trên đài truyền hình tư nhân BFM TV chuyên gia về châu Mỹ Latinh, Gaspard Estrada Viện Nghiên Cứu Paris Montaigne, khoa Global South trường London School of Economics phân tích việc chính quyền Trump đang bóp ngạt kinh tế Cuba :   « Chính quyền Trump đang làm tất cả để cắt đứt mọi nguồn cung cấp dầu hỏa cho Cuba, từ Venezuela đến Mêhicô. Hậu quả kèm theo rất tai hại đối với người dân Cuba : họ bị mất điện triền miên, không có xăng dầu để di chuyển. Cuba càng lúc càng bị cô lập với thế giới bên ngoài. Washington bóp ngạt kinh tế Cuba để bắt buộc hòn đảo này phải thay đổi chế độ, nhưng dường như chính quyền Trump quên mất rằng, khủng hoảng kinh tế tại hòn đảo này sẽ đẩy người dân Cuba ra biển, tìm đường định cư tại Hoa Kỳ. Điều này sẽ ảnh hưởng đến chính sách nhập cư của Mỹ, đặc biệt là trước bầu cử giữa kỳ. (...) Mục tiêu của tổng thống Trump rất rõ ràng : Đó là làm suy yếu Cuba bằng mọi cách, kể cả việc cắt đứt các nguồn ngoại tệ mà La Habana đang cần để tài trợ cho các dự án khác. Ngay từ nhiệm kỳ đầu, Donald Trump đã chận đầu tư ngoại quốc vào Cuba, đánh vào ngành du lịch của hòn đảo này. Và từ đầu năm nay Washington liên tục ban hành thêm các biện pháp trừng phạt. Như thông lệ Cuba vẫn hô hào phải vùng lên chống đế quốc Mỹ, nhưng lần này, La Habana chủ động đàm phán với Hoa Kỳ. Đây là dấu hiệu rõ rệt nhất cho thấy chế độ đang bị suy yếu. Dù vậy chúng ta không biết đôi bên đang thương lượng về những gì và Mỹ đàm phán với ai ». Yếu tố Nga và Trung Quốc Nhưng lật đổ chế độ Cộng Sản Cuba hay đem lại một sự thay đổi thật sự cho quốc đảo này không là nhiệm vụ dễ hoàn thành. Theo nhà nghiên cứu Jérome Leleu thuộc Trường Cao Đẳng Khoa Học Xã Hội EHESS -Paris, bất chấp những căng thẳng và các biện pháp phong tỏa càng lúc càng cứng rắn mà Mỹ kiên trì áp đặt, liên hệ giữa Washington với La Habana từ năm 1960 đến nay chưa bao giờ « đứt quãng ». Cuba luôn đòi hỏi hai điều : Chấm dứt trừng phạt và trả lại căn cứ quân sự Guantanamo được đặt dưới quyền kiểm soát của Hoa Kỳ từ khi Cuba giành được độc lập năm 1902. Về phía Washington, dưới danh nghĩa Nhà Trắng dù trong tay đảng Dân Chủ hay Cộng Hòa cũng đều đòi La Habana trả lại tài sản cho các doanh nghiệp và tư nhân Mỹ đã bị chế độ Castro tịch thu từ sau cuộc Cách Mạng năm 1959. Vậy thì tổng thống Donald Trump với những áp lực trên nhiều phương diện nhắm vào Cuba từ đầu 2026 liệu có đạt được các mục tiêu mong muốn hay không ? Theo giới phân tích, câu trả lời là không vì Cuba dù mất đi nguồn cung cấp dầu hỏa quan trọng là Venezuela từ đầu năm đến nay, nhưng vẫn có thể trông cậy vào Nga và nhất là Trung Quốc. Trước hết là đối với Nga, trả lời đài RFI Pháp ngữ, Emmanuel Pietrobon, chuyên gia độc lập người Ý về châu Mỹ Latinh nhấn mạnh : Cuba là « vùng ảnh hưởng duy nhất của Nga trong vùng biển Caribe, cho nên Matxcơva dưới chế độ Cộng Sản Liên Xô trước kia hay của tổng thống Putin hiện tại đều phải bằng mọi giá yểm trợ La Habana ». « Nga cần hòn đảo nhỏ này để gây sức ép với Mỹ. Nói một cách ví von, chỉ cần bước ra ngoài ban công là người Mỹ có thể nhìn thấy sự hiện diện của Nga. Do đó, đối với Matxcơva, Cuba chiếm một lợi thế địa chiến lược, tương tự như là vị thế của Đài Loan đối với Washington trong vùng châu Á-Thái Bình Dương. Có thể nói, Cuba là một phiên bản của Đài Loan trong vùng biển Caribê. Ngoài khía cạnh địa chính trị, hòn đảo này còn có nhiều lợi thế về kinh tế. Cuba có dầu hỏa, nhưng vì bị cấm vận triền miên nên chưa từng được thăm dò, và đương nhiên là cũng chưa từng được khai thác. Rồi Cuba cũng có những nguồn dự trữ về cobalt, nickel và cũng có tiềm năng về đất hiếm… Tất cả những yếu tố đó cho thấy, Cuba chiếm một vị trí cực kỳ quan trọng về địa chính trị đối với Nga (...) Cuba chỉ cách bang Florida một giờ bay. Hòn đảo này cũng làm một căn cứ không thể thiếu, với một vị trí then chốt và duy nhất để tiến hành các hoạt động dọ thám. Không phải tình cờ mà trong những năm gần đây, có lẽ và từ nửa sau thập niên 2010, tổng thống Nga, Vladimir Putin đã quyết định mở lại trung tâm thu thập thông tin tình báo bằng tín hiệu lớn nhất mà Liên Xô từng sở hữu trong giai đọan Chiến Tranh Lạnh: Đó là căn cứ Lourdes ».  Một quân bài để thương lượng về Ukraina  Nhất là vào thời điểm mà Nga cần đàm phán với Mỹ về Ukraina thì Cuba có thể là một lá chủ bài trong mắt điện Kremlin Emmanuel Pietrobon giải thích tiếp :  « Matxcơva nhất quyết gửi đến Washington một thông điệp chính trị. Vào lúc Donald Trump có ý định phân chia thế giới theo những vùng ảnh hưởng khác nhau, Nga muốn Hoa Kỳ hiểu rằng tham vọng đó chỉ có thể thành công nếu như Nhà Trắng công nhận Kremin cũng có quyền xây dựng những vùng ảnh hưởng của riêng mình. Do vậy, Cuba như thể là một đòn bẩy trong tiến trình đàm phán giữa Nga và Mỹ. Trong thời kỳ Chiến Tranh Lạnh, Liên Xô đã đặt tên lửa ở Cuba trong lúc mà Hoa Kỳ đặt tên lửa tại Châu Âu - nhất là tại Ý cũng như là để làm đối trọng với việc Mỹ đã điều vũ khí hạt nhân đến Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ. Giờ đây theo logic tương tự, Matxcơva dùng Cuba để mặc cả với Mỹ về Ukraina ». 22 % nhập khẩu của Cuba phụ thuộc vào Trung Quốc Nhìn từ Bắc Kinh, Cuba là một đồng minh truyền thống lâu đời : Chính quyền Fidel Castro là quốc gia ở Tây bán cầu đầu tiên thiết lập bang giao với chế độ Mao Trạch Đông. Năm 2025,  chủ tịch Diaz Canel đến Bắc Kinh nhân kỷ niệm 65 năm bang giao hai nước. Về thương mại, từ đầu những năm 2000 Trung Quốc đã trở thành một trong những đối tác quan trọng nhất của Cuba, đứng trước cả Nga hay Venezuela. Cuba là « một trong những thị trường tiềm năng nhất của các nhà sản xuất pin mặt trời Trung Quốc ». Trung Quốc chiếm 22 % nhập khẩu của Cuba Ngoài ra, đối với ông Tập Cận Bình cũng như Vladimir Putin, giá trị chiến lược của Cuba chính là nhờ có vị trí sát cạnh Hoa Kỳ, một cửa ngõ quan trọng trong vùng biển Caribe. Do vậy giới quan sát cho rằng, không chắc Donald Trump đạt được mục đích đưa Cuba trở thành một « quốc gia thân thiện » với Hoa Kỳ. Không có gì bảo đảm ông sẽ được sử sách nhớ đến như một vị tổng thống vượt trội hơn tất cả những người tiền nhiệm, từ tướng Dwight David Eisenhower, tổng thống John Fitzgerald Kennedy, đến Bill Clinton, Barack Obama. Điều chắc chắn duy nhất là những tham vọng về địa chính trị của Washington trong vùng biển Caribe đã, đang và tiếp tục vấp phải những quyền lợi của Nga và Trung Quốc. Lịch sử cũng đã chứng minh rằng từ năm 1960 đến nay Cuba đã trải qua nhiều cuộc khủng hoảng kinh tế. Mỗi lần « thoát chết trong đường tơ kẽ tóc » La Habana luôn được một « quý nhân phù trợ ». Trong giai đoạn chiến tranh lạnh điểm tựa chính là Liên Xô. Khi Liên bang Xô Viết tan rã thì từng bước đến lượt Venezuela, dưới thời hai tổng thống Hugo Chavez (1999-2013) và Nicolas Maduro chống lưng. Trung Quốc là một đối tác thương mại « không thể thiếu » của Cuba, cho nên trong cuộc đọ sức bất cân xứng lần này với chính quyền Trump, chủ tịch Cuba Miguel Diaz-Canel có thể trông cậy vào điểm tựa là chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình.

À la Une de la presse ce lundi 18 mai : les accusations des États-Unis, qui assurent que Cuba prépare une attaque de drones, contre la base américaine de Guantanamo ; la question lancinante de l'enrichissement personnel de Donald Trump et de ses proches ; l'appel du ministre de la français Justice en faveur de l'imprescriptibilité des crimes commis sur les mineurs ; le festival de Cannes secoué par la passe d'armes entre les anti et le pro-Bolloré ; et le prochain James Bond.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Richard Kammen, author of the book Tortured Justice Alabama. During his fifty-year practice, Richard (Rick) Kammen was one of Indiana's top criminal defense lawyers and a nationally recognized expert in defending homicide and capital cases. He also defended numerous white-collar and complex cases involving alleged obscenity and healthcare issues.   Rick graduated from Ripon College cum laude in 1968 and New York University School of Law in 1971. Admitted to the Bar in 1971, he began his practice after service in the United States Army. Now semi-retired, Mr. Kammen still speaks to groups of lawyers and consults with lawyers throughout the United States.   When he retired, Rick began writing fiction. His first novel, Tortured Justice Guantanamo Bay, inspired by his work in Guantanamo, was published in the spring of 2023. His second novel, Tortured Justice South Carolina, set in the Low Country of South Carolina and Mexico, was published in 2024. Rick's most recent book, Tortured Justice Alabama, which fictionally describes the prosecution of a physician for performing a legal abortion, was published in March 2025.   Rick now lives and writes in Hilton Head and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.   In my book review, I stated Tortured Justice Alabama is a political thriller by Richard Kammen - and this is a book that will get you thinking about what you believe and why. Richard immediately introduces us to the main characters - a 12-year old girl, raped and impregnated by her cousin, her mother who only wants the best for her daughter, a local doctor who isn't allowed to perform an abortion because of state laws, and an out-of-state doctor who lives in a state with legal abortion. When the mother crosses states lines so her daughter can terminate the pregnancy, everything changes swiftly, and we are introduced to the attorney who takes on the case!   Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, I think you will find this story riveting. Why? Because few social issues - or the laws that regulate them - are as cut and dried as they seem. What actually constitutes the health and well-being of the mother - and who gets to decide? Should mental health be a consideration? Or age? Or rape? Or incest? Does someone of 12 have the ability to make these choices? Should a parent be able to decide for a minor? What if the parents don't agree? Can a doctor in a state allowing abortion be tried for performing one on someone from another state that doesn't allow abortion? When does the law supersede the doctor/patient relationship? And so much more!   This is a really well-written book that will make you think. I highly recommend it.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Richard Kammen Website: https://richardkammen.com/ FB: @authorrichardkammen FB: @RichardLKammen IG: @kammenlaw LinkedIn: @Richard Kammen X: @kammenlaw   Purchase Tortured Justice Alabama on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4bMl2Ml Ebook: https://amzn.to/4lOUNJS   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Hermandad, sentimiento y corazón reverenciando a uno de los barrios más musicales de La Habana. Con el título de "Amigos de Santa Amalia", en 1999: el trompetista Julito Padrón, el trombonista Juan Carlos Marín, David Alfaro al piano, David Suárez en saxo, Alfredo Echevarría en bajo, Lukmil Pérez en drums y Alexis Cuesta en las tumbadoras, entre otros, dejaron testimonio de un tiempo único en el devenir de la música popular cubana. Sonidos homenajeando a un barrio lleno de historia donde, en décadas pasadas, convivieron grandes artistas y músicos como los pianistas Robertico Álvarez, Bebo Valdés, Rafael Ortega y Chucho Valdés, el saxofonista René Ravelo, el bongosero Guillermo Romero, y los cantantes Weeno Rodríguez, las hermanas Romay y Mayra Caridad Valdés, figuras que durante años mantuvieron vivo el pulso artístico en sus calles. Le pusieron voz y sentimiento a "Los amigos de Santa Amalia": Julito Padrón, Aramis Galindo y Moraima Marín. Amado de Jesús Dedeu siempre será recordado entonando sereno, clave en mano, los aires de la rumba y el guaguancó. Unos minutos para recordar al veterano rumbero que le entregó alma, corazón y vida al canto y los toques que, en esencia, continúan definiendo el mapa sonoro de Cuba. Falleció en La Habana el 14 de febrero de 2026. En la memoria el maestro Dedeu con su Grupo "Clave y Guaguancó". Boris Larramendi compuso los temas que hoy completan su más reciente álbum, ubicado ya en todas las plataformas digitales, entre 2021 y 2025. Su título: "Oye". Fiel en esencia al sonido que ha caracterizado su permanencia en los escenarios por más de treinta años, para completar esta nueva aventura discográfica, contó con viejos colegas: Nam San Fong en la co-producción y las guitarras eléctricas, Johan Medina en la batería, Eduardo Rodríguez en la percusión, Daniel Stable en el bajo y Dianela de la Portilla en los coros. Como invitada especial: Ivette Falcón en violoncello y los infaltables "Habana Abierta": Vanito, Alejandro, Medina, Kelvis y Barbería. En la mezcla y el mastering de este nuevo trabajo de Boris: Oscar Autie, en el Cerrito Records. En el diseño de la portada que hoy identifica nuestro programa: la talentosa artista plástica Camila Lobón. Un lujo compartir contigo estos sonidos en primicia, invitándote a encontrarlo en las plataformas digitales. Los años 40 del siglo XX lo vieron despuntar como uno de los pianistas, compositores y arreglistas fundamentales en el mismo centro de la llamada "era de los conjuntos soneros". Sin embargo el quehacer de Luis Martinez Griñán, ya entonces bien conocido en el ambiente musical como "Lilí", inmerso en el patrón estilístico establecido por el tresero Arsenio Rodríguez, tendrá mayor campo de expresión en la década siguiente cuando Chappotin se hace cargo del conjunto del ciego maravilloso. Sus arreglos donde los riffs de los metales se abrieron más al swing, así como las cadencias de los montunos que, aún marcadas por la clave, resultaron menos recias, le permitieron perfilar su progresivo y original concepto interpretativo. La memoria nos trae de vuelta algunas piezas del gran Lilí Martinez, el músico innovador, el pianista sonero cuyas grabaciones, a pesar de los años, mantienen intactas frescura, sabor y, por supuesto, muchísima cubanía. "La perla de Oriente" vió la luz en Guantanamo el 19 de agosto de 1915. Muy próximo el centenario de su natalicio es sumamente importante tener en cuenta su legado.

À Cuba, paralysée par l'étranglement énergétique imposé par les États-Unis, les journaux décrivent une île qui tourne désormais au ralenti. Même La Havane, généralement la dernière à subir les effets des crises qui frappent le pays, n'est pas épargnée. Dans la capitale, la plupart des hôtels ont encore assez de carburant dans leurs groupes électrogènes pour allumer leurs enseignes la nuit venue. Mais les chambres, elles, restent plongées dans le noir. Et les touristes, de plus en plus rares, sont regroupés dans les mêmes établissements. Ce sont aussi des gens qui ne peuvent plus rentrer chez eux parce que les bus ne circulent plus. Et ce n'est pas mieux pour les trains. Pour aller à Guantanamo ou Santiago de Cuba au départ de La Havane, par exemple, il faut compter un train tous les quatre jours... dans le meilleur des cas. Dans les hôpitaux, cette crise du carburant se traduit par une pénurie de médicaments, l'arrêt des interventions chirurgicales et la suspension des transferts ambulatoires.   Soutien à Cuba Tout cela, c'est 14ymedio qui le raconte. Le journal en ligne propose une série de reportages sur les conséquences de ce blocus imposé par les États-Unis, qui menacent de surtaxes les pays qui continueraient à livrer du pétrole à Cuba. C'est le cas du Mexique, dont la présidente Claudia Sheinbaum a répété hier que son pays n'abandonnerait pas les Cubains. Mais la présidente mexicaine n'est pas la seule à exprimer son soutien, ce que Granma ne manque d'ailleurs pas de souligner. L'organe du régime cubain le proclame en Une de son site : « Cuba n'est pas seule ». « Dans un contexte où l'empire tente d'étouffer Cuba, le monde répond avec un soutien au plus haut niveau », écrit le journal. Et de citer les ministères russe et chinois des Affaires étrangères, le pape Léon XIV, le président brésilien... qui tous, chacun à leur manière, expriment leur préoccupation pour la population. Mais pour Milenio, au Mexique, nous assistons à la fin de la révolution cubaine. Le journal qui reprend à son compte l'analyse de Ricardo Pascoe Pierce, ancien ambassadeur du Mexique à Cuba. Pour le quotidien, lorsqu'une idéologie refuse de voir la réalité, ce n'est pas seulement la révolution qui meurt, c'est aussi la crédibilité de ceux qui ont essayé de la soutenir. Suivez mon regard...   Une amnistie qui pose question Au Venezuela, le vote sur la loi d'amnistie générale promise par la présidente par intérim Delcy Rodriguez sous la pression de Washington devait avoir lieu aujourd'hui. Il finalement été reporté sine die. Ça n'empêche pas la presse de continuer à exprimer son scepticisme. « Une loi d'amnistie dans le dos du pays », titre ainsi El Nacional. « Une loi destinée à mettre fin à un cycle autoritaire peut-elle naître sans un débat ouvert et sans garanties pour les victimes ? », s'interroge le quotidien d'opposition. Pour lui, la loi promise par Delcy Rodriguez n'est pas suffisante. Elle doit être accompagnée de mesures immédiates. À commencer par le démantèlement de l'échafaudage juridique, qui sert depuis des années à persécuter la dissidence.  De son côté, TalCual passe en revue tous ceux qui ne pourront pas bénéficier de cette loi d'amnistie. Le régime a déjà prévenu que les personnes qui ont commis des violations graves des droits humains, des crimes contre l'humanité, des crimes de guerre, des homicides intentionnels, de la corruption et du trafic de drogue en seraient exclus. Mais dans un pays où le système judiciaire a la réputation d'être aux ordres, les experts interrogés par TalCual appellent à la création d'une commission indépendante pour trancher.   La souveraineté confisquée d'Haïti En Haïti, le directeur de l'agence Alterpresse Gotson Pierre revient sur l'incertitude politique qui perdure après la fin du mandat du Conseil présidentiel de transition. Désormais, c'est le Premier ministre seul qui gouverne mais sans étape ni calendrier défini à l'avance. À lire également sur le site d'Alterpresse, des accusations du Réseau national de défense des droits humains, qui dénonce des avis de recherche arbitraires de la part de la direction de la police judiciaire. Au Mexique, dans la ville de Puebla, les femmes commencent tout juste à se faire une place dans le sport national, la charreria. Cela consiste en une série d'épreuves à cheval et avec des taureaux, inspirées du travail dans les haciendas et très marquées par le machisme ambiant. Les femmes n'y sont pas les bienvenues, mais certaines forcent l'entrée. Un reportage de notre correspondante à Mexico, Gwendolina Duval.

Guantanamo Bay was once described as housing the “worst of the worst.” But what if that's a lie?In this episode of the Lean to the Left Podcast, host Bob Gatty is joined by human rights attorney Joshua Colangelo-Bryan, special counsel at Human Rights First and author of "Through the Gates of Hell: American Injustice at Guantanamo Bay".Joshua has spent more than two decades challenging the injustices of Guantanamo Bay. He explains how fear-driven narratives allowed indefinite detention, torture, and the erosion of due process—and why those same tactics are now being repurposed in immigration policy.We discuss:• The true legacy of Guantanamo Bay• How demagoguery targets immigrants and minorities• The use of cruelty as political theater• Parallels to Japanese American internment• Why empathy and the rule of law still matterThis conversation is a sobering reminder of what happens when executive power goes unchecked—and why human stories are essential to defending democracy.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and special guest Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging, thought-provoking conversation unpacking the intersection of politics, culture, media, and accountability. The episode opens with a breakdown of the current political climate and headline-making events shaping public discourse [00:55], followed by candid reactions to political figures and viral moments dominating social media [03:13]. As the conversation unfolds, the hosts share cultural observations and “ignorant thoughts” rooted in everyday experiences [06:04], including personal anecdotes about family dynamics and community values [08:57], all while emphasizing empathy as a necessary tool when navigating complex social issues [11:57]. The discussion expands into the growing influence of rappers and entertainers within podcasting and streaming culture [15:00], alongside debates about dinner etiquette, social expectations, and respect in communal spaces [17:45]. From there, the episode takes a deeper political turn, examining ICE actions in Minnesota and their broader implications [21:05], community protests and public reactions [23:53], and the stark differences in how similar events are framed by media and the public [26:47]. Through a historical lens, the hosts contextualize media representation, militias, and ICE [29:59, 56:39], before breaking down the evolving political landscape surrounding Jasmine Crockett’s rise and Senate ambitions [58:27], as well as the long-term consequences of redistricting [01:02:06]. Later in the episode, the conversation sharpens around accountability and influence in modern media, with reflections on the role journalists, streamers, and celebrities play in shaping narratives [01:04:16, 01:09:00]. The hosts explore how gender intersects with politics [01:12:45], and how celebrity culture continues to blur the lines between entertainment and ideology [01:16:31]. During the broader discussion on online discourse and streaming culture [01:20:55, 01:25:09], friend of the show Glasses Malone calls in to unpack his recent stance on Aiden Ross’ vitriol toward hip-hop star Doechii, adding industry perspective and context to the ongoing debate around respect, hip-hop culture, and digital responsibility. The episode closes with a powerful reflection on accountability, empathy, and respect in public commentary [01:30:38], before wrapping with final thoughts and future directions for the culture [01:38:20].

Dick Cheney died four weeks ago, but his dark legacy lives on—quite literally—at Guantanamo Bay. The human rights lawyer Joshua Colangelo-Bryan was among the first attorneys to enter the notorious prison in 2004, and what he found there shattered every official justification for its existence. The “worst of the worst”? Most detainees were never even accused of acting against America. Many were simply sold to the Americans for bounties. The sophisticated interrogation program? Techniques copied from Chinese and Soviet methods designed to extract false confessions, not intelligence. In his new book Through the Gates of Hell, Colangelo-Bryan tells the story of his unlikely friendship with Jaber Mohammed, a Bahraini detainee who spent years in captivity for the crime of being an Arab man in the wrong place (Afghanistan) at the wrong time (post 9/11). Released without apology or compensation—just a form asking him not to “rejoin” organizations he'd never belonged to—Jaber now lives in Saudi Arabia with four children, focusing less on bitterness and more on those rare moments when American guards showed him unexpected kindness. As the Trump administration revives the “worst of the worst” rhetoric against immigrants and once again sends people to Guantanamo, Colangelo-Bryan's account is a warning from recent history: demonize a racial or religious group, and you will inevitably destroy innocent lives. The gates of hell have once again been opened. Will they ever be closed? This is a public episode.

Ex-FBI sniper Christopher Whitcomb survived warlords, black ops, and helicopter crashes. He's here to explain how calculating risk kept him alive. [Pt. 2/2]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1243What We Discuss with Christopher Whitcomb:Guantanamo Bay exposed the systematic breakdown between official policy and reality. Christopher Whitcomb witnessed 13-year-olds detained 12,000 miles from home while interrogators chanted "Fair, firm and impartial" over prisoners' screams. The same general later oversaw Abu Ghraib's abuses.East Timor combined apocalyptic violence with staggering natural wealth. Indonesia massacred up to 300,000 people during the island's secession, yet oil bubbled from the ground and natural gas ignited hillsides, creating a Wild West economy that attracted contractors seeking manageable chaos.Intelligence work often pays in ways that complicate normal life. Christopher earned contracting money through intelligence agencies that was "hard to spend sometimes," revealing the strange economics of covert operations.Elite operators face profound psychological costs. Christopher's friend warned him to "stop trying to get 14-year-old guys to kill you because you have some death fantasy," highlighting how repeated high-stakes missions create patterns of self-destructive behavior that operators must eventually confront.Recognition of dysfunction is the first step toward meaningful change. By acknowledging his own "insanity" and identity crisis, Christopher demonstrates that even those in extreme professions can develop self-awareness and begin questioning the systems they served.

Send us a textThis week's podcast guest is Joseph Margulies, an accomplished civil rights litigator, author of three books and many online articles, and Cornell University professor. Joe was counsel of record in Supreme Court litigation that established the right of Guantanamo inmates and Americans detained abroad by American forces to challenge their detentions. He describes one of his current clients as having been “imprisoned and tortured in CIA black sites.”Joe and Fairfax criminal lawyer Jonathan Katz graduated from their respective law schools a year apart. Joe's father, Irv, was a great lawyer who was a key mentor to Jon when the litigation partner at Jon's first law firm. Detours about Irv in this interview include his sharp mind, and Joe's and Irv's commonality about the importance of strong persuasive writing skills for litigators. Jon witnessed Irv's taking even complex issues and getting right to the heart of the persuasive matter, with appropriate word imagery and emphasis. Irv's persona shines through in his combat veteran oral history.Starting with doing indigent criminal defense, Joe eventually shifted from mainly wanting to fight in court, to adopting a more client-focused approach that seeks to know his clients as people, as well as what happened in their life path that preceded their arrest and prosecution. That approach develops trust between a lawyer and client that cannot be substituted any other way, and enables the lawyer to persuasively advocate for their clients all the better.  Joe aptly says on his main professional webpage: “If history and science teach us anything, it is that any of us can do monstrous things, and if all of us can be monstrous, then none of us are monsters, which is why I do not believe in the Other, that mythical creature we are so quick to find and eager to cast out.”Asked about approaches to beating the prosecution, Joe admits that he has suffered defeats (as do all criminal defense lawyers), and focuses on the importance for a criminal defense lawyer to sharpen their writing skills, process, and re-writing. For writing excellence, Joe especially likes George Orwell, and addresses his essays, including “Politics and the English Language”.This episode is also available on YouTube and Apple podcasts. This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

The legal definition of the term 'unlawful combatants' was used to justify detaining people at Guantanamo indefinitely, without ever charging them with a crime.

This Day in Legal History: Abrams v. United States ArguedOn October 21, 1919, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Abrams v. United States, a seminal case in the development of First Amendment jurisprudence. The case arose during the post–World War I Red Scare, when the government aggressively prosecuted speech perceived as dangerous or subversive. The defendants were Russian immigrants who distributed leaflets in New York City denouncing U.S. military intervention in the Russian Revolution and calling for a general strike. They were charged and convicted under the Sedition Act of 1918 for allegedly inciting resistance to the war effort.The Supreme Court upheld their convictions in a 7–2 decision, finding that the speech posed a “clear and present danger” to national security. However, it was Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' dissent, joined by Justice Louis Brandeis, that left the most lasting impression. Holmes argued that only speech intended to produce imminent lawless action should be punished, introducing the enduring metaphor of the “marketplace of ideas” as essential to democratic deliberation.Legally, the case illustrates the government's ability to impose post-speech punishment—penalties after speech has occurred—as opposed to prior restraint, which involves preventing speech before it happens. The distinction is vital in American law: prior restraints are almost always unconstitutional, while post-speech sanctions may be permitted under narrow circumstances. In Abrams, the Court leaned toward deference to governmental wartime authority, but Holmes' dissent marked the beginning of a shift toward greater speech protections.The decision laid the groundwork for the more speech-protective standards adopted in later cases such as Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969). The post-speech punishment principle debated in Abrams remains a cornerstone of First Amendment law, highlighting the tension between state interests and individual liberties in times of political conflict.When two alleged drug traffickers survived a U.S. military strike in the Caribbean, the Trump administration immediately repatriated them rather than detain them — a decision that reveals a troubling logic behind the president's new “war” on narco‑terrorism. The administration has declared the campaign a “non‑international armed conflict,” but legal experts note that this classification offers no real authority for military detention. In other words, the United States can kill suspects under this self‑declared war framework, but it has no clear legal footing to hold survivors.Experts said the administration likely chose the least damaging option: send the survivors home and avoid a courtroom. Detaining them at Guantanamo or on U.S. soil would have triggered habeas corpus challenges, forced disclosure of evidence, and risked exposing the strikes as legally indefensible. One former State Department lawyer said any trial would have “undermined the narrative” that the attacks were lawful military operations. By refusing to hold prisoners, the administration sidesteps both judicial scrutiny and transparency.The result is a perverse incentive structure. If survivors are released but detainees are liabilities, the easiest path for officials is to ensure there are no survivors at all. The legal asymmetry—where killing is simpler than capture—encourages tactics that maximize lethality while minimizing accountability. As a result, Trump's “drug war” risks becoming less about law enforcement and more about ensuring that no one lives long enough to challenge the legality of U.S. actions.In Trump's drug war, prisoners may be too much of a legal headache, experts say | ReutersGlobal pharmaceutical companies are rapidly ramping up U.S. manufacturing in response to a looming Trump administration policy that would impose 100% tariffs on imported branded and patented drugs. While enforcement is delayed for companies that commit to domestic investment, the threat has already triggered a wave of fast-tracked spending, direct-to-consumer sales shifts, and pricing concessions in exchange for temporary tariff exemptions.Major players like Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, and Roche have pledged tens of billions of dollars to build or expand plants across the U.S. to shield themselves from future penalties. Some, like Pfizer and AstraZeneca, secured multi-year tariff exemptions by agreeing to pricing deals and participation in the administration's new TrumpRx.gov program. Others, like Novartis and Sanofi, are spreading investments across multiple states and sites, creating thousands of jobs as part of their strategic insulation.The tariff threat is driving a major reshaping of global supply chains and investment strategies, as companies aim to avoid the legal and financial burden of import duties by domesticating both manufacturing and distribution. While some firms say they are already well-positioned with sufficient U.S. inventory, the broader trend reflects a defensive industry-wide shift to preemptively comply with the administration's protectionist push.Global drugmakers rush to boost US presence as tariff threat looms | ReutersTrevor Milton, the disgraced founder of electric-truck startup Nikola, is somehow back as a CEO—this time leading SyberJet Aircraft, a private jet manufacturer, according to reporting by Techdirt. Milton was convicted of fraud for deceiving investors about Nikola's technology, most famously releasing a misleading video of a prototype truck that was actually rolling downhill, not self-propelled. He was sentenced to four years in prison but never served a day, thanks to a pardon from Donald Trump earlier this year—reportedly after donating millions to Trump-aligned causes and hiring the brother of current Attorney General Pam Bondi as his attorney.Now, just months after that pardon, Milton has been tapped to lead development of a new high-speed jet for SyberJet, with promised performance metrics that already sound suspiciously ambitious. The company, privately backed, won't need to answer to public shareholders—but it will still need investor trust to raise money for a jet not slated for delivery until 2032. TechDirt points out how the company's promotional material leans into rewriting Milton's history, calling him “renowned” rather than acknowledging the full scope of his fraudulent past.The piece underscores a broader theme of “failing upward,” highlighting how white-collar offenders, especially white men with political connections, often land on their feet despite serious criminal convictions–and has some interesting implications for the future career of George Santos. Milton's quick rebound from federal fraud conviction to C-suite leadership is less an exception than a reminder of how accountability gaps persist in American corporate culture.Convicted Fraudster Trevor Milton Rides His Trump Pardon To Another CEO Job, Somehow | TechdirtIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I dive in to the governor's race in my home state. The 2025 New Jersey gubernatorial race has become a tax-policy showdown between Jack Ciattarelli and Mikie Sherrill—both of whom are framing affordability as their central mission, but doing so with deeply flawed approaches. Ciattarelli is offering aggressive tax cuts and structural overhauls that are, frankly, reckless in a state with a delicate and complicated fiscal ecosystem. His plan to flatten income tax brackets and slash corporate rates isn't just optimistic—it's ahistorical. We've seen this movie before in Kansas, where sweeping tax cuts led to revenue collapse, credit downgrades, and bipartisan regret. Ciattarelli is essentially proposing a rerun, but with no clearer escape plan if it fails.Sherrill, by contrast, is pragmatic to the point of inertia. Her emphasis on municipal service sharing and administrative tweaks is fine as far as it goes—but it doesn't go very far. Her promise to freeze utility rates via emergency powers, for instance, isn't just legally questionable, it also misdiagnoses the issue: state governments don't control wholesale energy prices. It's a symbolic gesture dressed up as policy.Neither candidate seems willing to address the structural drivers of New Jersey's notoriously high property taxes, preferring instead to nibble around the edges or promise caps that could backfire. That's a missed opportunity. As I argue in the column, New Jersey doesn't need sweeping cuts or more bureaucratic tinkering—it needs targeted relief for the people who actually feel the pinch. Expanding the state Earned Income Tax Credit and implementing a robust child tax credit would offer immediate, evidence-backed help to those struggling most with affordability. These aren't radical ideas; they're already working in other states.Ciattarelli's plan is built on trickle-down economics and wishful math. Sherrill's is built on competent management, but lacks ambition. The voters deserve more than either of those options.Tax Platforms in NJ Governor's Race Leave Out the Best Ideas This is a public episode.

This second segment dives into the devastating mental deterioration of Richard Allen during his 13-month pretrial incarceration in solitary confinement—what the state called a “safekeeping order.” Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Bob break down how Allen was isolated, broken down, and allegedly manipulated into confessing to the Delphi murders—not through force, but through psychological collapse. Bob takes us inside the jailhouse calls, including one made at 3:15 AM where Allen desperately tells his stepfather he's losing his mind and feels like he's in Guantanamo. Hours later, in a fog of confusion, he tells his wife, “I did it”—then follows with, “Evidently I did.” Is that a confession? Or the ramblings of a man pushed to the brink? We discuss how labeling solitary as a “single-person cell” let the state sidestep human rights standards, why the court excluded a jail call where Allen professes his innocence, and how this system, by design or dysfunction, weaponizes mental illness to build a case.

This second segment dives into the devastating mental deterioration of Richard Allen during his 13-month pretrial incarceration in solitary confinement—what the state called a “safekeeping order.” Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Bob break down how Allen was isolated, broken down, and allegedly manipulated into confessing to the Delphi murders—not through force, but through psychological collapse. Bob takes us inside the jailhouse calls, including one made at 3:15 AM where Allen desperately tells his stepfather he's losing his mind and feels like he's in Guantanamo. Hours later, in a fog of confusion, he tells his wife, “I did it”—then follows with, “Evidently I did.” Is that a confession? Or the ramblings of a man pushed to the brink? We discuss how labeling solitary as a “single-person cell” let the state sidestep human rights standards, why the court excluded a jail call where Allen professes his innocence, and how this system, by design or dysfunction, weaponizes mental illness to build a case. If this was strategy, not oversight, it's one of the most ethically disturbing chapters in modern true crime.

PREVIEW GUEST NAME: Alejandro Peña Esclusa; Bill Roggio 50 WORD SUMMARY: Alejandro Peña Esclusadiscusses Venezuelan opposition leaders (González and Machado) asking the UN and US to intervene against the Maduro drug cartel, an ally of Iran, Cuba, and Putin. Bill Roggio covers the potential US swap of Guantanamo al-Qaeda operative Muhammad Rahim (an ally of Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar) to secure an American hostage held by the Taliban.

ROGGIO Bill Roggio, associated with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, discussed the recent news regarding a hostage situation involving the Taliban. Key details from Roggio's segment: Hostage Release: Secretary of State Rubio reportedly won the release of an American citizen who had been held hostage by the Taliban in Kabul for nine months. The citizen was being held "illicitly and outrageously." The Cost (The "Twist"): Roggio noted that the crucial detail—the "twist"—is what the US may have given up in order to secure the return of its own citizen. The Likely Swap Target: It is very likely that the exchange involves an individual held at Guantanamo named Muhammad Rahim, an al-Qaeda operative. Significance of Muhammad Rahim: According to US intelligence: Rahim was close to Osama bin Laden. He helped bin Laden escape from Tora Bora. He served as Mullah Omar's driver. Mullah Omar was identified as the founder and former head of the Taliban. US Military Stance and Prediction: Muhammad Rahim is an individual whom the US military does not want to release. Despite this, Roggio predicted it is very likely that Rahim will be "walking free sometime soon." Negotiation Dynamics: Roggio concluded that in these types of negotiations, there is "always a cost," and the Taliban usually wins.

The McDonald's flag at Guantanamo Bay was lowered to half-mast in honor of the GOP swamp creature who was assassinated by a sniper the day before 9/11, which I think we can all agree is the most American thing that has ever happened. Reading by Tim Foley.

Twenty-four years ago today, two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, another hit the Pentagon, and another went down in a field in Pennsylvania. It was the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil in American history. But the men the United States accuses of perpetrating the attacks haven't been held accountable. In fact, they haven't even gone to trial.For today's podcast, Executive Editor Natalie Orpett talks with John Ryan, co-founder of Lawdragon and author of the book, “America's Trial: Torture and the 9/11 Case on Guantanamo Bay,” to help explain why. They talk about John's 10 years covering the 9/11 case, why it's so hard to report from Guantanamo, why the case has been bogged down in pretrial proceedings for over a decade, and what torture has to do with it all. Note: Orpett referred to Lawfare's recent coverage of the 9/11 case, including pieces about Secretary Austin's withdrawal, the military commission's ruling upholding the pleas, the D.C. Circuit's reversal, and the recent suppression ruling in the Ammar al Baluchi case.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Today's Headlines: President Trump is throwing distractions at the Epstein scandal, including threatening the Washington Commanders' stadium plans unless they revert to the "Redskins," and releasing 240,000 sealed FBI files on MLK Jr.'s assassination—despite opposition from King's family. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed a vote on releasing Epstein-related DOJ files until after summer recess. Trump also banned Wall Street Journal reporters from his Scotland trip, revived “Russiagate” claims with help from DNI Tulsi Gabbard, and posted AI memes of Obama being arrested—all while still being a convicted felon. On the economy, new tariffs are pushing up Walmart prices on essentials like coffee and kitchenware, while Amazon is hiking prices on hundreds of goods even after promising not to. DHS is expanding immigrant detention to military bases in New Jersey, Indiana, and even doubling capacity at Guantanamo. The EPA is slashing jobs at its science research office to save $750 million. Former officer Brett Hankison was sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison for excessive force in the Breonna Taylor raid—despite DOJ recommending no jail time. Lastly, the Pentagon is pulling all 700 Marines from Los Angeles after Trump's militarized response fizzled out.

New York City's mayoral race is heating up, and into the inferno walks Brad Lander: City Comptroller, longtime progressive pain in the ass (in the best way), and, most importantly, not a corrupt tool of the oligarchy. That alone is refreshing. Lander's running on a revolutionary NYC platform: competence, decency, and not being Eric Adams, Andrew Cuomo, or a trash fire named Donald Trump. He's spent his career backing tenants, workers, and immigrants, including showing up at an ICE facility to demand Newark mayor Ras Baraka's release. On Gaslit Nation, Lander made it clear: he's not here to play nice with predators in power. He's here to break the cycle of corruption, fight for working people, and stop ICE from turning Rikers Island into Guantanamo East. On climate? “Climate risk is financial risk,” Lander says. His plan includes rooftop solar, ensuring net-zero emissions by 2040, and preventing your apartment from becoming a boiling deathtrap during the next heat wave. (Remember Cuomo leaving people to die in nursing homes?) As the feds abandon us under Trump and Musk, someone's got to step up. Lander wants to expand the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. And for non-New Yorkers: NYC's mayor matters nationally. This is a frontline job against elite impunity and rising autocracy. We need Lander to help rebuild democracy. Want to protect New York, and the country, from grifters like Adams and Cuomo? Use ranked-choice voting, ranking Lander #1. Then rank all the other progressives endorsed by the Working Families Party. Do not put Cuomo on your ballot. He already resigned after using his power to prey on women. Don't make us go through that again. Go to landerfornyc.com and help make New York City safer and stronger, for the sake of its residents and all of America. Share this interview with the New Yorkers in your life to help stop Cuomo and elect Lander New York City's next mayor.  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

The U.S. has sent people it has detained — people it calls terrorists — to a prison overseas — indefinitely.This is true in 2025, after the Trump administration deported at least 261 foreign nationals to a maximum security prison in El Salvador.And it was also true two decades ago, following the attacks of Sept. 11, after the U.S. government began to house captured Taliban and al-Qaida fighters in the military prison at the U.S. Naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.During the George W. Bush administration, John Yoo wrote the legal justification for the treatment of Guantanamo detainees, now widely referred to as "the torture memos."Yoo argues that there are key legal differences between what the Bush administration did – and what the Trump administration is attempting in El Salvador.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
