Podcasts about guantanamo bay

There are concerns among the undocumented Irish in America that they could end up in Guantanamo Bay. That's despite the Trump administration denying its planning to send illegal immigrants to the US run prison in Cuba. The Department of Foreign Affairs also says it understands there are no plans to do this. An immigration lawyer told the Irish Examiner there's uncertainty within Irish communities in the US and they're nervous about travelling home to Ireland for holidays. To discuss this situation further, Clare FM's Peter O'Connell spoke with New York-based immigration lawyer Lorcan Shannon earlier.

For over a decade, Harold Phifer served in a war-zone as a contract air-controller in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay. He even survived a suicide bombing by the Taliban. But none of that was as dangerous or stressful as his upbringing. Phifer was a black kid growing up in the south during the tumultuous 1960s, dealing with racism and bullying in the streets, and abuse at home from his schizophrenic mother and dysfunctional, violent aunt. He felt like an outsider in and out of the house. He tells a moving story in his newest book, My Bully, My Aunt, and Her Final Gift. It comes on the heels of publishing his earlier book, Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace At A Beach Bar, which exposed a lot of people that affected the life of the author. Besides his problematic mother, his aunt left a lasting imprint.This is a one of a kind story. Don't miss it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Trump Administration is preparing to send hundreds of Europeans living illegally in the country to Guantanamo Bay, according to US reports. However, the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs said there are “no plans” to deport EU citizens, while President Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the reports “fake news”. We spoke to David Smith, Washington Bureau Chief with The Guardian  for more on this.

Fear heightens for the undocumented Irish despite Trump administration denying they have any plans to send illegal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay. Trump won't allow a ‘mob rule' as protests against his immigration policies spread across the states. AndHarvey Weinstein was found guilty of sex crimes after a retrial. To discuss all the news stateside was J.D Capelouto, Reporter and Lead Writer for Semafor Flagship Newsletter.

"You'd almost wish he was a better dictator, there'd at least be a gameplan there but there's nothing." Wild scenes in Los Angeles as confrontations with ICE agents rounding up immigrants in parts of the city has escalated to full scale warfare, with journalists targeted by LAPD and President Trump deploying the National Guard and Marines to the city. But first, looking at the developing situation in the Middle East where Israel appears to be preparing for a strike against Iran. Also discussing Trump cutting off FEMA funding, the Trump / Musk feud, trade negotiations, and RFK Jr. enacting his anti-vax agenda.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From terrorists to deportees, Guantanamo Bay is being transformed into a facility to hold a large number of migrants forced out of America. The Trump administration is preparing to hold as many as 9000 undocumented immigrants at Gitmo as it is running out of space inside the U.S. Mass arrests are underway in Los Angeles, as a curfew goes into place in an attempt to keep people from protesting in the downtown area. The California National Guard is reportedly protecting ICE agents as a battalion of US Marines remains on standby. We'll talk about it all with political analyst and presidential historian Jon Rothmann.

Governor Gavin Newsom isn't backing down — he's leaning into the unrest in Los Angeles and stepping into the national spotlight. Is this California's resistance going prime time? Meanwhile, Donald Trump calls the weekend protests a display of “big force” — and his team is reportedly eyeing Guantanamo Bay to detain thousands of migrants, starting this week. And that innocent little "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of your inbox? It might not just clean up your email — it could open you up to something bigger.

From Last One Laughing it's comedian Harriet Kemsley, who is great company and with some surprising stories; her youth flying in World War Two Fighter Planes to her snowboarding exploits PLUS find out why she could end up imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay… it's all in this fantastic episode of Five Brilliant Things. 

In this solo edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold delivers a rapid-fire breakdown of the day's biggest stories, from ICE raids in Los Angeles to rising inflation, executive overreach, and narrative warfare. He unpacks Trump's expanding use of Guantanamo Bay to detain illegal immigrants, sparking new speculation on the real reason behind its long-term expansion. Herold dives into the legal fight between Trump and Gavin Newsom, the constitutional implications of deploying troops on U.S. soil, and the role of media spin in shaping public perception. He also highlights censorship, foreign flags on American streets, and suspicious protest coordination across major cities. With sharp humor and relentless analysis, Herold connects the dots between cartel-linked raids, political theater, and the crumbling legitimacy of regime narratives.

Aux États-Unis, les manifestations parties de Californie contre la politique anti-immigratoire de Donald Trump s'étendent à d'autres États. Pendant ce temps, la police de l'immigration continue d'intensifier ses opérations. Los Angeles a passé la nuit sous couvre-feu, décision de la maire après des jours de manifestations contre la politique anti-immigration brutale de Donald Trump. Le président américain a choisi la force et envoyé l'armée contre les protestataires, une décision toujours très critiquée par le gouverneur de Californie et la maire de la ville. Pendant que le monde se concentre sur la réponse militaire, qualifiée d'autoritaire par les responsables démocrates, la presse rappelle que la police de l'immigration ICE poursuit ses arrestations massives et amplifie même ses opérations. Le Los Angeles Times nous fait sortir de la grande ville californienne pour se rendre dans les zones agricoles, grande richesse de l'État. Dans ces exploitations agricoles, beaucoup travaillent et vivent depuis des dizaines d'années sans papier en règle. Ils n'avaient, pour l'instant, pas été la cible du renforcement des opérations anti-migratoires. «Aujourd'hui, tout le monde est paniqué», témoigne la vice-présidente du syndicat United Farm Workers. Les opérations se multiplient depuis quelques jours. Au moins la moitié de 255 700 travailleurs agricoles de Californie seraient sans papiers. Si les propriétaires des exploitations agricoles refusent d'ouvrir ses portes, la police contourne l'interdiction et tente d'entrer sans mandat,  affirme la vice-présidente de l'association agricole Ventura County Farm Bureau. Le Washington Post révèle, lui, que l'administration Trump se prépare à commencer le transfert de milliers d'étrangers illégaux vers Guantanamo Bay. Guantanamo, base militaire située sur la pointe sud de Cuba et symbole de torture commise par les États-Unis sur des prisonniers. Elle était destinée à la lutte contre le terrorisme aujourd'hui, selon le Washington Post, les ressortissants de nombreux pays pourraient s'y voir envoyés. Français, Britanniques, Italiens, Polonais, Turcs, Haïtiens. Le sujet est considéré comme sensible, les sources du journal s'expriment sous couvert d'anonymat. 9 000 personnes seraient d'ores et déjà concernées. Elles doivent être soumises à un examen médical afin de savoir si leur santé leur permet d'être transférées à Guantanamo. Des centaines de migrants ont déjà été déplacés à Guantanamo cette année, mais il s'agirait là d'une augmentation massive. Donald Trump a promis en janvier 2026 d'envoyer 30 000 migrants à Guantanamo.     Haïti : la police dénonce le manque de soutien de l'État En Haïti, la police dénonce le manque de soutien de l'État face à la crise sécuritaire. Le syndicat SPNH-17 regrette aussi la décision de faire appel à un groupe de mercenaires étrangers Blackwater pour lutter contre les gangs. Gary Jean-Baptiste est le coordinateur général du syndicat : « Nous dénonçons cette démarche. Les mercenaires de Blackwater ne peuvent pas résoudre le problème de l'insécurité. Chaque pays confronté à une situation d'insécurité a sa propre manière de l'aborder. On ne peut pas résoudre l'insécurité en Haïti avec des forces étrangères, ni avec des mercenaires. Les fonds que l'État haïtien ou la communauté internationale dépensent, que ce soit pour la mission multinationale ou pour le recrutement de mercenaires, pourraient être utilisés pour construire une véritable force de sécurité, afin de renforcer et moderniser la Police nationale et les Forces armées d'Haïti. C'est dans cette direction seulement que le pays pourrait amorcer une sortie de la crise sécuritaire actuelle. »   Cuba : une mobilisation inédite depuis la révolution castriste de 1959 L'augmentation par l'État des tarifs de l'internet mobile a déclenché des manifestations inédites depuis la révolution castriste de 1959. La mobilisation a commencé, il y a une dizaine de jours. Aujourd'hui, les étudiants accusent le régime cubain d'infiltrer les universités pour étouffer le mouvement. Sur les réseaux sociaux, les vidéos tournées dans les universités se succèdent, rapporte le site d'information 14 y medio. Depuis deux jours, de nombreux étudiants ont été convoqués, les dortoirs fouillés. Certains groupes étudiants ont disparu des réseaux sociaux, d'autres ont publié des communiqués d'excuse pour éviter des sanctions plus graves. Mais 14 y medio note un réel changement à travers ce nouveau mouvement. La solidarité avec les manifestants est même venue de la gauche internationale qui, jusqu'à récemment, défendait le gouvernement cubain, note 14 y medio. Certains parlent même de «printemps des données». Le nom fait référence à l'étincelle du mouvement : l'augmentation du tarif de l'internet mobile décidée par l'État. Une augmentation telle que l'accès internet est aujourd'hui inabordable pour la majorité de la population. Le journaliste Rafael Rojas d'El Pais nous propose son analyse sur cette mesure. Le régime parle de nécessité économique, la venue notamment de devises étrangères via des recharges payées par des proches à l'étranger. Mais pour les étudiants, il s'agit d'une nouvelle augmentation des inégalités. La jeunesse cubaine est aussi très connectée aux réseaux numériques mondiaux. Le journal conclut sur le manque d'intérêt de la communauté internationale face à ces manifestations inédites.   Aux États-Unis, Atlanta tente d'être prête pour la Coupe du monde de foot dans un an La Coupe du monde de football se tiendra dans un an jour pour jour.

Welcome to this explosive edition of Light ‘Em Up!In these critical and delicate times that we find ourselves in — democracy is in clear and present danger.As nothing feels certain or safe and everything appears to be in “transition” we interrogate and examine the Trump Administration and its efforts to suspend the “great writ” of Habeas corpus.Habeas corpus is a legal doctrine whose original purpose was to contest detention by the king. The origins of the writ, or “written order” (its Latin name means, loosely, “produce the body”), can be traced to 13th century England.On June 15, 1215, at Runnymede, the barons who had banded together to impose legal restrictions on King John's power forced him to affix his seal to the Magna Carta.One of its curbs on the sovereign's power reads, in part, “No free man shall be seized or imprisoned…except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land.”The writ of habeas corpus appears in the U.S. Constitution. Article 1, section 9, clause 2 includes this single sentence: “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”Habeas corpus requires a jailer to produce a prisoner in a court of law so the basis for detention can be reviewed. The Constitution presupposes this right, but its use has been sharply restricted during past wars.Fast forward to the present, as Donald Trump continues on his “revenge tour” — his administration has shown itself to be big on conducting legal proceedings without due process for the defendants it pursues, just as George W. Bush did with “enemy combatants” at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, post 9-11.The Trump White House continues to break things like “Wreck it Ralph”— and has floated the idea of suspending Habeas corpus in the context of an “alien invasion” as it pertains to immigration, sparking widespread and grave concerns about the erosion of fundamental rights and the separation of powers.With mass deportations taking place without due process and the suspension of Habeas corpus, the rule of law and democracy itself is under a serious threat.While the Constitution allows for the suspension of Habeas corpus in cases of rebellion or invasion where the public safety is at stake, it is a power that must be exercised sparingly and only in extraordinary circumstances. Circumstances that we clearly are NOT in.With this probing, penetrating and pointed look … we ask out loud if we are on a collision course with the tyranny that brought about a coup d' état in Chile in 1973, where the military ousted then President Allende, General Agusto Pinochet seized power, democracy collapsed and repression, murder and great suffering followed (all backed and funded by the US CIA & State Department in the Nixon administration).As we challenge you to think critically, we probe further, examining the historical suspension of Habeas corpus, we think you'll be surprised to hear that one of the Presidents considered to be the “GOAT” (greatest of all time) suspended the writ of Habeas corpus, and we'll deliver the facts not the fiction surrounding this.We'll itemize some of the “pitfalls” and potential terrible consequences of decisions such as this, as we've learned through a FOIA request that the FBI has ordered its agents to scale back white-collar crime investigations to pursue more immigration crime instead.The rule of law and democracy are endangered!Previous Supreme Courts have held in reverence and referred to Habeas corpus as, “the fundamental instrument for safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary and lawless state action.”The current Supreme Court has been at best tepid in its support and defense of the U.S. ConWe want to hear from you!

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!In 1986, Marine David Cox helped carry out a Code Red at Guantanamo Bay on a Private who fully recovered from his injuries. When David and nine others were faced with a court-martial and an Other Than Honorable Discharge, he refused a plea deal, stood trial, and walked free; his attorney arguing that he was following orders. That courtroom drama would go on to inspire Aaron Sorkin's A Few Good Men. But David's story didn't end there.In 1994, Cox was found shot to death—execution-style. Wallet intact. No robbery. No suspects. No justice.This week on Hitched 2 Homicide, we're peeling back the Hollywood polish and military records to expose the haunting, unsolved truth behind one of the most infamous cases of military justice—and murder—in U.S. history.

What if your right to challenge an unjust imprisonment was the last line of defense against authoritarian rule? In this episode, we trace the ancient roots and modern battles over habeas corpus—from medieval England to Guantanamo Bay, to present-day America—uncovering how this vital legal safeguard is under renewed threat. As political leaders hint at suspending it under dubious claims of “invasion” or “insurrection,” this episode raises an urgent warning: democracy may hinge on whether we protect this fundamental right.The Trail Blazing Justice podcast is a production of the Oregon Justice Resource Center.

When twelve strangers—including survivalists, reality-TV hopefuls, and ex-military tough guy Dale Murphy (Henry Rollins, Heat, frontman of Black Flag)—enter a “Ultimate Survivalist” contest deep in West Virginia, they soon discover they're more than just battling the elements. Stalked by a vicious clan of mutant cannibals, contestants like resourceful Nina Papas (Erica Leerhsen, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Feast), adventurous Jake Washington (Texas Battle, April Showers, Three Can Play That Game), and cunning Amber Williams (Daniella Alonso, Hemlock Grove, Make It or Break It) must use every skill they've got—or become the next grisly meal.

The Defense Dept. spent over $21M on 46 flights to Guantanamo Bay for migrant deportations under Trump's orders to use the base as a holding site. Flights ran Jan-April 2020, costing $26,277/hr. Data came from Sen. Warren's inquiry into these expenses. #Immigration #Guantanamo

In a high-stakes episode, @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove dive into Trump's law-and-order crusade, starting with his bold May 4, 2025, directive to reopen Alcatraz—a notorious prison shuttered since 1963 that once held Al Capone—to house America's “most ruthless and violent offenders.” They unpack how Trump's plan, backed by Stephen Miller's vision of a “strong America,” targets criminals like the 150 Tren de Aragua gang members recently arrested, while also expanding three shuttered detention sites, including one in Leavenworth, Kansas, to hold 30,000 “criminal aliens” amid mass deportation efforts. The show exposes deep state pushback, from San Francisco locals calling it a “stunt” to lawsuits blocking ICE in California, as a desperate attempt to shield illegal immigrants. Then, they reveal gain-of-function secrets, alleging these sites may detain whistleblowers exposing CIA-linked bioweapons research, tying it to Ancient Orders' globalist schemes.

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

This Day in Legal History: Los Angeles RiotsOn April 29, 1992, the Los Angeles riots erupted following the acquittal of four LAPD officers charged with excessive force in the beating of Rodney King, an African American motorist. The brutal 1991 beating had been captured on video and widely broadcast, leading to public outrage. However, when a largely white jury in suburban Simi Valley found the officers not guilty of assault and use of excessive force, it sparked immediate and widespread unrest. Over six days, riots, looting, arson, and violence resulted in more than 60 deaths, thousands of injuries, and nearly $1 billion in property damage. The events prompted a national conversation about police accountability, racial injustice, and the legal standards for the use of force.Legally, the case led to significant developments: the U.S. Department of Justice later brought federal civil rights charges against the officers, resulting in two convictions. The riots also accelerated efforts to reform policing practices, sparked lawsuits, and influenced federal legislation concerning police oversight. The King case remains one of the most prominent examples in American legal history where video evidence, jury perception, and civil rights law collided in dramatic fashion.On Monday, U.S. law firm Jenner & Block is asking a federal judge to permanently block an executive order issued by President Donald Trump that penalizes the firm for its past employment of Andrew Weissmann, a prosecutor involved in the Russia investigation. Trump's order, issued on March 25, aims to restrict Jenner's access to federal facilities and terminate government contracts held by its clients. Jenner argues the order violates the First Amendment's protection of free speech and the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of due process. The case will be heard by U.S. District Judge John Bates, a Republican appointee, in Washington. Three other firms — Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, and Susman Godfrey — have also sued to block similar executive orders. So far, judges have temporarily halted major parts of Trump's orders in these cases. The broader context involves Trump's pressure campaign against law firms he views as politically opposed. Meanwhile, other major firms have pledged significant pro bono support to White House causes to avoid being targeted. Jenner is also suing the administration over its actions concerning transgender rights and agency funding freezes.US law firm Jenner asks court to permanently bar Trump executive order | ReutersPresident Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order requiring the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to compile a list within 30 days of cities and states that are not complying with federal immigration laws. The move escalates Trump's ongoing battle against so-called "sanctuary" jurisdictions, which limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. This follows a federal judge's recent decision blocking the administration from withholding funds from these jurisdictions. Trump officials highlighted a sharp drop in illegal border crossings since he took office, though deportations have fallen compared to Biden's administration. ICE detention centers are over capacity, leading the government to prepare facilities like Fort Bliss and to continue using Guantanamo Bay for migrant detention. Separately, controversy arose after a Wisconsin judge was arrested for allegedly helping a defendant avoid immigration authorities, an action defended by the Trump administration. Despite divided public opinion, Trump's immigration policies maintain relatively strong approval ratings compared to his handling of other issues.Trump to sign order requiring list of sanctuary cities, states, official says | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week argues that if Congress wants professional sports to be more equitable, accountable, and less reliant on taxpayer subsidies, it should rethink a looming tax change that would punish the Atlanta Braves—the only MLB team subject to full public oversight. A new cap on salary deductions for public companies under Section 162(m) is set to take effect in 2027, and while not aimed directly at sports teams, it would hit the Braves with an estimated $19 million annual tax hike. Meanwhile, billionaire-owned private teams would continue enjoying deduction benefits without similar transparency obligations.I explain that public ownership brings clear benefits: the Braves are required to file audited financials, face investor scrutiny on major spending decisions, and have less flexibility to threaten cities with relocation demands. Unlike private ownership groups that can easily pressure municipalities for stadium subsidies, publicly traded teams must answer to broader stakeholder interests. Moreover, public teams can raise capital through stock or bonds instead of leaning on taxpayers.Rather than penalizing the only team operating under these conditions, Congress should create incentives—like a targeted entertainment industry carveout—to encourage more public ownership. The goal isn't to give special treatment to the Braves, but to promote a model that favors transparency, accountability, and financial independence from taxpayers. Letting the current tax rule stand would send the wrong message: rewarding secrecy while punishing openness—and that's bad policy not just for baseball, but for public trust.

New ‘Sode: Good Evening from Wyoming. Land and of #Jesus of Horses and Bitcoin. In my Balmain riding boots, racist politics, and family values- nanny included, I feel right at home in my #PhilippeStarck designed Cabin. I come thrice a year anyway to Senator Lummis' home  armed with #PerrierJouet and impeccably rolled joints to talk cattle and stack statsAlas, I am on a horrific crypto bachelorette trip for a 'friend's' 3rd marriage. This group of Bera TradFi Baddies also includes the Princess of Wales, who just turned #10, she's forgoing the Bikini wax and the How- to -Inside Trade on- the -Ranch lecture by Ken Lay. My friend is marrying the CEO of #Ethena, the only one who has made any real money in this spiderweb3 since Hayden Adams. Fear not, we are invalidating her prenup by tokenizing it on #Hyperliquid. Princess' security wore a DOLCE&GABBANA Bored Ape T-shirt and sold at the bottom. He has a soothing voice and read Friedrich Hayek's Road to Serfdom to me at the foot of my bed before I fell asleep without any sexual tension. I have no idea what Ethena does; my quant says that its a synthetic dollar built on ETH which provides a crypto-native solution for money. Mon Dieu! If this is how she is funding her custom made Valentino gown than wrap that synthetic chemical algorithm acid all over my face. As for the ETH, I thought everyone dumped it for Gold and or for a timeshare in Guantanamo Bay.I digress, my guest today is Kelley Weaver; the White Olivia Pope of Crypto PR. We met at a sober* Law of Attraction -Manifestation -Visualization-Meditation Retreat for beautiful women who like Manolo's and good looking men when Bitcoin was 100 dollars. I dismissed it and instead bought a f*ck ton of #OXGI, but Biotech stocks are always a manipulated bust worse than memes. Lesson learned. Manifest. Bitcoin. Support the show

Segment 1: In breaking news, the Pope has passed away, just hours ago. While the specifics of his passing remain unclear, his declining health was well-known, especially after his recent battle with double pneumonia. Major networks have been broadcasting the story live, and the world now turns to the centuries-old process of selecting the next Pope. Behind closed doors, there has likely been preparation for this transition, and the coming weeks will bring a global focus on who will step into one of the most influential roles in the world. Segment 2: SCOTUS Shake-Up and Political Fireworks At home, the Supreme Court has stirred fresh controversy, drawing sharp rebuke from conservatives after a recent ruling blocked the President's deportation authority—something the Court had previously upheld. Justice Alito's dissent was particularly pointed, criticizing what he called a politically motivated move that undercut the Constitution. As the border crisis continues to escalate, frustration grows around the sheer number of illegal entries and the logistical nightmare of assigning individual court dates. The sentiment? Enough is enough—secure the borders and restore order. Segment 3 Kim on a Whim: Spring Break Chaos in Coastal Communities Switching gears to a more local level, the annual madness of spring break is once again testing the limits of patience in beachside communities. While places like Panama City Beach and South Padre Island have long been party destinations for college students, the chaos has seemingly reached a boiling point. Local officials and police departments are speaking out, saying the influx of wild behavior—ranging from underage drinking to more violent crimes—no longer aligns with their community values. The line between youthful fun and lawlessness is being crossed, and residents are saying, "enough." Segment 4: Politics, Deportations, and the Courts Back in the political trenches, debates over immigration enforcement have sparked new firestorms. A recent deportation case involving a suspected gang member from El Salvador, and the courts' back-and-forth over its legality, highlights deep divisions between branches of government. Critics argue that activist judges are overreaching and politicizing the law, while others call for due process and international accountability. This all folds into the broader narrative about Guantanamo Bay, constitutional rights, and how administrations handle suspected threats. For some, it's about safety and sovereignty—for others, it's a matter of legal integrity.

On this powerful episode of I Am Refocused Radio, we sit down with author and survivor Harold Phifer, whose life reads like a movie script—except it's all real. From growing up in 1960s Mississippi with a schizophrenic mother, an abusive aunt, and the weight of racism and bullying, to surviving a Taliban suicide bombing and navigating war zones as a contract air traffic controller, Harold's story is nothing short of jaw-dropping. We talk about his latest book, My Bully, My Aunt, and Her Final Gift, and unpack how war zones in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo Bay felt more peaceful than the chaos of his childhood. With raw honesty and unexpected humor, Harold opens up about the power of writing, the role of humor in healing, and how he learned to survive—by staying quiet, sharp, and unshakably human. This is more than a conversation. It's a testament to the human spirit.https://riseandread.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

Trade Negotiations with Japan: President Trump met with Japanese officials to discuss trade negotiations, resulting in positive feedback on social media. Discussions included military support costs and trade fairness. Japan has a long-standing military alliance with the US, with many American troops stationed in Okinawa. Japan's Prime Minister stated that Japan won't rush to reach a deal and does not plan to make big concessions. Global Tariff Policies: Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on nearly every country, with higher reciprocal tariffs on significant trading partners like Japan, Vietnam, the EU, and China. A 90-day pause on higher tariffs was announced for all countries except China, which faced a 245% tariff on imports to the US. The Chinese regime responded with higher tariffs on US products, leading to a rapid back-and-forth in the trade war. China's Response: China appointed Lee Chong as its new trade negotiator, signaling a potential shift in negotiation style. Lee has a background in the WTO and supports free trade. The Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed a willingness to negotiate, indicating a change in rhetoric. Trump's Broader Policies: Trump emphasized the need for fair trade and national security, particularly concerning semiconductors and the electronic supply chain. The administration's authority to detain migrants at Guantanamo Bay is expanding, targeting those with connections to transnational criminal organizations.

The Gaslit Nation Media Committee, a watchdog against access journalism and regime propaganda, has developed this essential guide. We urge all members of the media to reject complicity in the erosion of democracy.   The American crisis is a global struggle between democracy and fascism—one that threatens the entire world. Each of us has a role in defending freedom. If you work in media, use this guide to safeguard your integrity, your liberty, and the values we cherish—before it's too late. Doing your job well can save lives and democracy.   1. Don't Bury the Lede: Call It an Illegal Tech-Backed Coup To build trust, stick to the facts. When Trump's administration acts illegally, say it—especially in the headline. Call it what it is: a tech-backed coup that exposes Americans' most sensitive data and replaces federal workers with unsecured A.I. to establish a new surveillance state. 2. Make Private Prison Execs Famous Investigate the financial interests behind Trump's immigration system—expose executives, board members, and their connections. Pursue them with cameras; they can't hide behind profits while lives are ruined and civil liberties eroded. 3. Fascism Needs Ignorance From dismantling the Department of Education to the “War on Woke” in universities, Trump continues delegitimizing education. This isn't about competition with other countries—it's about giving everyone the chance to grow as independent thinkers who reject fascism. 4. Follow the Money Investigate Trump's major donors and their role in Musk's illegal purge of government services. Hold them accountable—ask how they view their investments amid the chaos. Track their contracts and regulatory benefits. 5. Expose National Security Threats Trump removed key military officials who prevented unlawful actions. Without them, who will stop him? Trump holds the nuclear football, cozying up to adversaries, sending bombs to Israel, and threatening wars against Canada and Greenland. Focus on how our adversaries are taking advantage. 6. Kleptowatch Focus on how companies exploit customers through greedflation and Amazon's payola for search visibility. While the Biden administration has much to answer for, the media must spotlight the absence of enforcement of investigations brought by Lina Khan and Tim Wu, leaving corporate kleptocrats unchecked. 7. Media Must Thoroughly Cover Media Journalists must cover media attacks, including blocked access to info and censorship (e.g., Ann Telnaes at WaPo). Report on media ecosystem shifts, address bias, and clarify distinctions between reporting, opinion, and lies. Provide context on media ownership. 8. Draw Historical Parallels Trump, Musk, and allies are enacting policies similar to dictators like Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. The media must challenge their unfounded assertions. They are attacking the press and critics, reminiscent of regimes like Pol Pot's and Rwanda's genocide. 9. Trump is Trying to Turn America into an Autocracy: Act Like It Columbia Journalism Review shared 10 essential tips for journalists reporting from autocracies. Share these with your teams, including your company's lawyers—killing big stories and obeying in advance is self-destructive. 10. Shine a Light on Private Prisons The private prison industry needs scrutiny, especially with Trump's lack of oversight. Innocent people are caught in reckless immigration raids as the system grows unchecked. Regular coverage of Guantanamo Bay is crucial due to its history of unlawful detention and Trump's plan for a prison camp there for 30,000 people. 11. Gilead is Here The media has abandoned calling out Trump's toxic masculinity regarding reproductive rights and civil rights. Raise awareness of the deadly consequences for women, including trans women, and all nonwhite people. 12. Access Journalism is Betrayal Fascism's history includes journalists from major outlets becoming "masters of euphemism," (to quote Gareth Jones), downplaying atrocities and broken laws to protect access. History will remember you for doing your job or being bought. Doing your job well can save lives and democracy. 13. Family Members Deserve Special Attention Trump's administration is granting lucrative positions to family members of allies and donors, giving them undue influence over policy. These self-dealing networks must be mapped and exposed. 14. Unmask Voter Suppression Election analysis must address gerrymandering, unfair Senate representation favoring "red states," the Electoral College designed to protect elites, and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Don't treat our voter suppression crisis like "horse race" politics. 15. Focus on the 1% Expose extreme wealth inequality—how the 1% dodge taxes and exploit loopholes to preserve their wealth. Put a spotlight on how inequality fuels authoritarianism and is a direct threat to democracy. 16. Cover Protests Highlight actions challenging the White House's destructive crimes. People need to see that citizens care about the laws being broken by Trump's administration and that they're not alone. 17. They're Testing Boundaries: Say It When something is "unprecedented," that means they're testing boundaries, to see what they can get away with. Say it. 18. The Weird Fights Matter Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America may seem "weird," but it's part of the fascist pageantry, like Mussolini's famous eyeliner and Putin's shirtless photos. Look to experts in autocracy to see which stories are being used as a distraction and which stories are important to cover.  An expanded version of the Gaslit Nation Media Guide can be found here: https://www.gaslitnationpod.com/media-guide   For More: Ten Tips for Reporting in an Autocracy American journalists have much to learn from colleagues in countries where democracy has been under siege. https://www.cjr.org/political_press/ten-tips-for-reporting-in-an-autocracy.php   Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

It appears that the promise to release the Epstein files is finally being fulfilled, and Phase 1 of the disclosures is imminent. Yesterday, Pam Bondi confirmed on Fox that tomorrow, February 28th at 12 PM EST, the first phase of declassification will begin. What exactly will Phase 1 entail? No one knows yet. Next, Pete Hegseth is taking a firm stance, ensuring the cartel doesn't jeopardize our national security, and he's making it crystal clear: you will be sent to Guantanamo Bay, so leave or face the consequences.But that's not all—the lovely Charlene Bollinger joins the show to discuss vaccines, the truth about cancer, and RFK Jr.'s MAHA agenda. What lies ahead for the United States with RFK Jr. leading the Department of Health and Human Services with his "Make America Healthy Again" initiative? Moving on—DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) is ruffling the feathers of wasteful bureaucrats while delighting the American people more and more each day. Cuts galore! Efficiency implemented! They just can't stop saving us money. And finally, you're in for a treat because there's plenty to laugh about at the end of the show!

Tommy and Ben discuss the increasing divide between the US and Europe on the issue of the war in Ukraine just as the world marks the three year anniversary, including a mineral reserves deal and America's vote against a UN resolution calling for an end to Russian aggression. They also talk about Germany's election results and the likely new Chancellor Freidrich Merz, the right wing podcaster who is Trump's new Deputy FBI Director, firings at the Pentagon, an update on migrants sent to Guantanamo Bay and Panama, a parade of international right wingers at CPAC, and strains in the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel after the return of the remains of the Bibas family. Then, Tommy speaks to Bloomberg Businessweek reporter Zeke Faux about the Argentinian President's memecoin and how it relates to the Trump family's crypto schemes. 

This week, Scott joined his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Natalie Orpett, and Anastasiia Lapatina for a rare, all-in-person discussion of the week's big national security news, including:“Chicken Kyiv, Served Cold.” The Trump administration's vision for a peace settlement in Ukraine is coming into focus—and it's not the one many Ukrainians and Europeans were hoping for. In negotiations that have largely excluded Ukrainian and European partners—and amidst a barrage of hostile attacks on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's democratic legitimacy—the Trump administration appears to be insisting on some U.S. stake in Ukraine's rare earth minerals while remaining unwilling to support Ukraine's NATO membership and resistant to providing hard security guarantees in response. Are the contours of such a deal something Ukraine can agree to? And will it advance U.S. and Ukrainian national security interests?“Euro Vision.” In some of his first comments since emerging from elections as Germany's new chancellor, Friedrich Merz called for European independence from the United States, in light of the Trump administration's increasing neglect (and even hostility) to longstanding transatlantic partnerships. And Ukraine may be the first front for this new policy orientation, as European officials have suggested an increased willingness to deploy ground troops to Ukraine, increase their own assistance levels, and even make an alternate offer for access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals. How much potential is there for a truly independent European foreign policy? And what will it mean for U.S. national interests?“Baywatch Reruns.” As part of its aggressive campaign against undocumented migrants, the Trump administration has expanded its use of the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay for what it claims to be the “worst of the worst” undocumented migrants involved in violent crimes. But recent reporting has cast serious doubt on whether everyone who has been detained at Guantanamo meets this qualification, while others have raised questions about the conditions in which detainees are being held and the legal basis for the involvement of military personnel. What is the Trump administration really trying to accomplish? And is Guantanamo Bay once again becoming a black mark on American rule of law?In object lessons, Natalie confirmed the existence of the year's most top-secret, exclusive diplomatic gathering—the Lawfare Baby Summit. Anastasiia unveiled Escalation, a long-anticipated narrative podcast series from Lawfare and Goat Rodeo about the history of the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. Scott—in true elder Millennial fashion—identified with the gracefully aging, definitely not old, Before Trilogy from Richard Linklater. And Ben marked the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine with a somber reflection on the sparse turnout at a Lincoln Memorial rally over the weekend, underscoring the ongoing challenge of building mass political movements from within small communities.We value your feedback!

On Jan. 29, President Trump ordered the expansion of facilities at Guantanamo Bay to hold migrants being deported from the United States. It was the latest—and perhaps most aggressive—move to deploy the U.S. military in pursuit of the administration's immigration policies. And it's not at all clear that there's a solid legal basis for doing it. Executive Editor Natalie Orpett sat down with Chris Mirasola, Assistant Professor at the University of Houston Law Center and author of a recent piece in Lawfare on this subject, to talk through the legal issues, the administration's strategy, and what it all means for Trump's unconventional use of the military.We value your feedback!

Tommy and Ben discuss the assault on USAID by Trump and Elon Musk, how Democrats can best make the argument to support it, and why putting it under the purview of the State Department is a bad idea. They also discuss a purge at the FBI, Marco Rubio's first overseas trip as Secretary of State, the moral and logistical stupidity of both sending US prisoners to El Salvador and undocumented migrants to Guantanamo Bay, Trump launching air strikes in Somalia, and Netanyahu's meeting with Trump at the White House. Then, Ben speaks with Sky News Africa Correspondent Yousra Elbagir about the violence unfolding in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

Finally, a president willing to blame a devastating air crash on diversity hiring and two of his predecessors! Nearly two weeks into his second term, Trump continues to sow bitterness, fear, and chaos everywhere he turns: issuing a spending freeze so drastic and haphazard that his team has to rescind it after three days, demanding that more than two million federal workers resign or face loyalty tests, and vowing to send 30,000 immigrants to Guantanamo Bay. Meanwhile, three of his most extreme cabinet picks face tough questions in their confirmation hearings—but will it matter? Jon and Dan reflect on a dismal week, what's next, and signs of life in the opposition party. Then, Jon checks in with Senator Chris Murphy about the threats that Democratic leaders are getting, and why it's so important to fight back anyway.

An American Airlines plane collided with a military helicopter in the skies over Washington, DC, President Trump says the US will send deported migrants to a temporary facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and an NPR investigation finds lengthy criminal records for some January 6th defendants who received pardons.Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the war against President Trump has not stopped. We can't let our guard down; he still has a whole bunch of cabinet nominees that have not yet been confirmed. Trump should get the people he wants, but the Democrats will try and stop all of them. The Democrat Party rejects the Judeo-Christian principles upon which this nation was founded; they promote the ideas of the Marxist. The Democrat Party hasn't changed, and they won't because it is an anti-American ideological operation. Later, the DOJ is said to be discussing dropping the case against NY Mayor Eric Adams. This was a petty case from the beginning. Robert Jackson once said it's dangerous when you have prosecutors who focus on the man and not the law. They are the most dangerous people in any society because they have the power to indict with a grand jury. Afterward, Trump signed the Laken Riley Act and Trump announced up to 30,000 illegal immigrants will be sent to Guantanamo Bay. Finally, Professor Steven Calabresi calls in to discuss his new book, The Meese Revolution: The Making of a Constitutional Moment. The Meese Revolution is about the former attorney general's brilliant and courageous revolution to reinstitute the Constitution in our legal and justice system. https://www.amazon.com/Meese-Revolution-Making-Constitutional-Moment/dp/1641774290/ Learn more about your ad choices.
