1965  IBM  360/85 FORT MEADECONTENTS OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-29-2026Navigating Artificial Intelligence And ElectionsGUEST: Liz PeekLiz Peek analyzes the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and the emerging debate over its regulation. While tech figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk advocate for industry guardrails to mitigate risks like rogue AI agents and safety vulnerabilities, President Trump pushes for rapid advancement to maintain a competitive edge over China. Peek differentiates macro AI safety concerns from local opposition to data centers, which centers on utility costs. Turning to politics, she evaluates the Senate midterms, noting Republicans hold an edge in key tossup states like New Hampshire and Maine, while Democrats face steep challenges running the table nationwide. File 1Middle East Escalations And ConflictGUEST: Jonathan Schanzer Jonathan Schanzer evaluates ongoing conflicts across the Middle East, focusing on Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, and Gaza. Iran seeks to prolong military tensions to deplete American munitions, raise oil prices, and avoid facing severe domestic anger over its collapsing economy. In Yemen, the Iranian aligned Houthi militia pushes to unify the country, threatening Saudi Arabia and regional stability. Meanwhile, Hezbollah capability in Lebanon has been reduced by eighty percent, though political paralysis hinders government control. Schanzer notes that ending the Gaza conflict hinges on disarming Hamas, while withdrawing American troops from Iraq opens dangerous avenues for Iranian influence across the region. File 2European Leftist Populism And AIGUEST: Joseph Sternberg2 Joseph Sternberg highlights the rise of far left populism in Europe, exemplified by Die Linke winning local elections in Berlin. The party, rooted in East German communism, combines classic Marxist economic proposals like housing nationalization with troubling anti-Semitic sentiments emerging from an alliance of radical critical theorists and Islamist voters. Sternberg argues this coalition makes hostility an existential issue for the left compared to right wing parties. He also addresses the economic uncertainties of artificial intelligence, warning that massive infrastructure spending on data centers may fail to yield expected financial returns, creating major risks alongside ongoing American and Chinese competition. File 3Michigan Senate Battleground Midterm AnalysisGUEST: Thaddeus McCotter Thaddeus McCotter provides an extensive analysis of the Michigan Senate race between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El Sayed. McCotter highlights economic anxieties, inflation, and energy costs driven by Middle East conflict as central voter concerns. While Michigan historically leans Democratic in Senate contests, El Sayed's primary victory over center left Haley Stevens and his association with radical figures like Hassan Piker alienate moderate voters. McCotter observes that while Democrats capitalize on economic frustration, El Sayed's far left platform gives Republicans a viable path. Nationwide, McCotter notes that Democrats face an uphill battle to win the Senate this cycle. File 4Global Security And Strategic GeopoliticsGUEST: Gregory Copley Gregory Copley analyzes global geopolitical shifts, focusing on China, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom. He describes the summit between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump as symbolic stability designed to prop up China's fragile domestic economy and internal Communist Party rivalries amid severe water and demographic crises. In Southeast Asia, Copley examines Indonesia acquiring an aircraft carrier under President Prabowo Subianto, signaling strategic modernization to safeguard vital maritime choke points between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Finally, he dismisses the Cardiff Memorandum, a sovereignty effort by Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish leaders, as grandstanding driven by frustration with Westminster government performance. File 5Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure And RegulationGUEST: Jim McTague Jim McTague explores the political and economic friction surrounding artificial intelligence expansion, particularly the development of massive data centers. Reporting from Pennsylvania, McTague notes how local municipalities are establishing zoning regulations and utility constraints to prevent corporate developers from imposing facilities without community input. Alongside cohost Thaddeus McCotter, McTague discusses White House backing for a golden age of artificial intelligence, comparing proposed regulatory approaches to financial market oversight. While tech leaders call for industry guardrails, McTague emphasizes that light touch, goal oriented regulatory models are superior to heavy handed rules, warning that political backlash over energy grid strain impacts elections. File 6Russian Election Control Hybrid WarfareGUEST: Ivana StradnerIvana Stradner details how Vladimir Putin maintained absolute control over Russia's Duma elections, securing three quarters of the seats for United Russia through autocratic manipulation, barring anti war parties like Yabloko, and staging fabricated electoral unity. Stradner explains that these domestic maneuvers serve Putin's broader ambition of restoring imperial dominance and testing NATO resolve. Through hybrid warfare, encompassing political pressure, sabotage, cyber operations, and psychological tactics, Russia aims to exploit western disunity and risk aversion. Stradner warns that Putin seeks to expose NATO Article Five as ineffective, emphasizing that western allies must show unity and escalate deterrence to counter threats. FILE 7Russian Sanctions Arctic Energy ExpansionGUEST: Max Meizlish Max Meizlish analyzes the enforcement of United States economic sanctions on Russia's Arctic LNG Two energy project and the strategic implications of the Polar Silk Road partnership between Moscow and Beijing. Meizlish notes that while previous enforcement turned back critical Chinese power modules, inconsistent application permitted later deliveries. Chinese state owned enterprises buy sanctioned facilities to shield transactions from Western pressure while purchasing discounted Russian liquefied natural gas. Meizlish stresses that Washington must utilize new legislative mandates like the Graham Sanctions Act to penalize non compliant Chinese entities, warning that weak enforcement enables adversaries to build dual use Arctic infrastructure.

A reported Israeli assessment raises serious questions about Lebanon's commitment to disarming Hezbollah. According to Israel's Channel 14, an Israeli political official claims that elements of the Lebanese Army may actually be coordinating with Hezbollah.After decades of failed security arrangements, Israel faces a fundamental question: Can it entrust its northern security to Lebanon, the United Nations and international guarantees?Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000. Following the 2006 Lebanon War, UN Security Council Resolution 1701 called for southern Lebanon to remain free of unauthorized armed forces. Yet Hezbollah subsequently expanded its military infrastructure, backed by Iran.Now, with renewed concerns about Lebanese Army cooperation with Hezbollah, the future of Israel's northern border is once again under debate.But there is another dimension to this story: biblical history.Joshua describes the inheritance of the tribe of Asher extending toward Sidon and Tyre. Jewish communities existed in southern Lebanon for centuries. Early Zionist leaders also advocated a northern frontier extending toward the Litani River.Could permanent Israeli control of southern Lebanon, potentially accompanied by sovereignty and renewed Jewish communities, provide a different security framework?This discussion explores the reported intelligence assessments, the history of Israel's northern border, Hezbollah's military presence, the limitations of international security guarantees and the biblical connections between the Jewish people and southern Lebanon.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

1814 BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANSCONTENTS JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-28-2026Analyzing Security Crises Across BattlefrontsBill Roggio and Edmund Fitton-Brown discuss multiple interconnected global conflict zones. In London, five suspects were arrested following an explosive plot against a UK air base hosting American B-1 bombers, potentially linked to Iran, al-Qaeda, or ISIS. Meanwhile, Iran offered a revised diplomatic proposal after rejecting a prior memorandum of understanding, though it lacks nuclear concessions. In Yemen, Houthi forces captured the port of Mocha and advanced southward toward the Bab el-Mandeb strait. In Lebanon, Israel maintains operations north of the Litani River while the Lebanese government fails to disarm Hezbollah. Lastly, Hamas remains unyielding regarding disarmament in Gaza. (1)Evaluating US China Diplomacy StrategySteve Yates evaluates the recent summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping, noting grand pomp but little substantive policy movement on Taiwan. A critical fourteen billion dollar arms sales package to Taiwan remains in stasis, which Yates warns increases regional security risks if delayed further. Commenting on Ambassador David Perdue's remark about selling arms to China, Yates interprets it as sarcastic banter rather than actual policy. Furthermore, Yates highlights statements from the US Pacific commander emphasizing America's military capability to inflict severe devastation in a conflict. Ultimately, Yates advocates delivering Taiwan's defense package promptly. (2)Critiquing US China Trade PoliciesAlan Tonelson expresses strong disappointment regarding recent US-China trade negotiations, which produced minor tariff concessions on labor-intensive goods that primarily relieve China's domestic unemployment crisis. Tonelson criticizes the Trump administration for failing to reinstate major tariffs counteracting China's industrial overcapacity and market dumping after earlier court rulings. He highlights how China uses its control over rare earth exports as strategic leverage, offering vague promises to restore export levels. Additionally, Tonelson notes that negotiations completely failed to tackle China's pervasive non-tariff trade barriers, warning that weak American leadership threatens long-term economic decoupling efforts. (3)Hamas Governance Stalls Reconstruction PlansSamuel Ben-Ur and Bill Roggio: Ben-Ur details how the Board of Peace unveiled a two point five billion dollar reconstruction plan for Gaza, which remains completely stalled because it requires Hamas to disarm and relinquish power. Hamas exhibits no intention to surrender its arms. Internal Hamas elections for its Gaza political chief resulted in a stalemate between factions backed by Doha-based leaders Khaled Mashal and Khalil al-Hayya. Meanwhile, the Board of Peace has completely excluded UNRWA from reconstruction efforts. Though massive humanitarian aid prevents famine, roughly two million Gazans endure harsh tent conditions while Hamas continues seizing aid for profit. (4Examining Hezbollah Deterrence and RegenerationDavid Daoud and Bill Roggio: Daoud examines how Hezbollah uses unclaimed FPV drone strikes in southern Lebanonto test Israeli and American resolve while maintaining media narratives of victory. Daoud criticizes the Lebanesegovernment for demanding full Israeli withdrawal before addressing Hezbollah's disarmament, repeating post-2006 failures. Furthermore, Lebanese Armed Forces deployments in pilot zones lack any mandate to confront Hezbollah, seizing minor ammunition rather than heavy weaponry. Under Naim Qassem's quiet leadership, Hezbollah relies on unsanctioned crowdfunding entities like Watawanu to fund social services and maintains weapons smuggling via Syriato sustain its long-term regeneration. (5)Houthi Offensives Escalating Across YemenBridget Toomey discusses the intensifying Houthi military offensives across Yemen, specifically targeting the strategic Taiz governorate. After seizing coastal territory down to the Bab el-Mandeb strait, Houthi forces are pushing into mountainous highlands to encircle Taiz city and cut off key supply roads. Toomey explains that Houthi advances are enabled by deep divisions among eight anti-Houthi coalition factions, Houthi control of national telecommunications infrastructure, and extensive Iranian operational support. By moving resources onto coastal islands and isolating government forces, the Houthis ultimately aim to encircle Aden and solidify single-party rule over all of Yemen. (6)Assessing Syria Governance Under SharaAhmad Sharawi analyzes Syria's political transformation under Ahmed al-Sharaa following the collapse of the Assadregime. Sharawi highlights controversial army appointments, including Omar Jeffi—a Turkish citizen and former HTSmember—to lead the Damascus division. During a Western media interview, al-Sharaa evaded explicitly renouncing his past oath of allegiance to al-Qaeda, deflecting questions as past history rather than demonstrating genuine ideological reform. Sharawi notes that Turkey uses Syria to project regional power into Lebanon and Iraq while securing lucrative reconstruction contracts, though al-Sharaa's attempt to balance relations among Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Israel will inevitably trigger regional friction. (7)Analyzing Strategic Waterways Regional ConflictsEdmund Fitton-Brown examines maritime choke points in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, highlighting how Iranian proxies strategically target Saudi oil transit routes. Fitton-Brown urges skepticism regarding Iran's temporary proposal to reopen Hormuz, warning against accepting deals that ignore Iran's nuclear program. He notes that the Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan defense pact lacks practical military enforcement in Yemen. Furthermore, deep personal friction between leaders in Saudi Arabia and the UAE led to Emirati troop withdrawals, weakening anti-Houthi forces as Houthis advance toward Taiz, Marib, and Aden. Fitton-Brown calls for a unified US strategy addressing Iran and Yemen together. (8)Unpacking Iran Global Operations StrategyJanatyn Sayeh exposes Tehran's global coercion strategy, including the crowdsourced intelligence platform Alaj used to target dissidents and Western interests. Commenting on arrests near a UK airbase hosting American forces, Sayeh explains how Iran contracts organized crime gangs, Hell's Angels, and ideological operatives for transnational plots while routinely denying state involvement. Domestically, the IRGC is increasingly militarizing society—training civilians, women, and youth—in preparation for enduring conflict. Meanwhile, a rebranded Baloch insurgency demonstrates heightened military and intelligence capabilities against IRGC commanders. Sayeh concludes that former Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi represents the most viable opposition leadership option. (9)Countering Chinese Influence In MicronesiaCleo Paskal details the geopolitical contest between the US and China in the Federated States of Micronesia, focusing on Yap state. A Chinese state-owned enterprise completed rebuilding an Imperial Japanese airfield on Woleai island and is expanding infrastructure across Yap. Despite US plans for two billion dollars in dual-use port and airport investments, mismanaged local engagement led INDOPACOM commander Admiral Paparo to warn of seeking alternative sites. Paskal criticizes Washington for relying on flawed advisors and artificial intelligence unsuited for non-digital Pacific societies. Consequently, China continues making strategic inroads by proposing alternative airline routes to exploit local dissatisfaction. (10)Analyzing South American Political ShiftsErnesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa analyze critical political dynamics in Brazil and Venezuela. In Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez faces immense pressure to schedule elections due to severe economic collapse, public protests, and left-wing accusations of treason following Nicolás Maduro's arrest. Meanwhile, opposition figure María Corina Machadoremains blocked from returning home. In Brazil, Araújo argues that President Lula da Silva's UN speech failed domestically because Lula ignored economic mismanagement and rampant drug cartel growth. Araújo highlights Flavio Bolsonaro's rising momentum in Brazil's election, framing it as a pivotal anti-system contest against entrenched institutional corruption. (11)

1882 CAIROMiddle East Escalations And ConflictGUEST: Jonathan Schanzer Jonathan Schanzer evaluates ongoing conflicts across the Middle East, focusing on Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, and Gaza.

In Yemen, the Iranian aligned Houthi militia pushes to unify the country, threatening Saudi Arabia and regional stability.

1776 BATTLE HARLEM HEIGHTSSTREAMING BATTLE FRONTS 9-28-26In this radio transcript, host John Batchelor and experts from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies analyze the intensifying global instability across multiple conflict zones as of late 2024. The discussion focuses on the Iranian "axis of resistance," exploring how coordinated efforts by Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis create a unified front against Western interests. The participants examine a thwarted terror plot in the United Kingdom and the ongoing maritime blockade in the Middle East, which they link to broader Russian and Chinese geopolitical strategies. Significant attention is given to the diplomatic stalemate in Gaza, where the disarmament of Hamas remains a prerequisite for any stabilization or reconstruction plans. The experts ultimately argue that the United States lacks a cohesive counter-strategy to address these interconnected theaters of war effectively.

The Democratic Party has a problem. The mascot for its 2026 campaigns has become a Marxist-jihadist named Hasan Piker. His virulently anti-American social media posts appeal to young people indoctrinated to hate their country. So, Michigan Senate candidate Abdulrahman el-Sayed and his Texas counterpart, James Talarico, have welcomed Piker's support. But, not all Democrats favor the destruction of our country and  some – like patriotic Republicans and independents – actually take offense at its trashing by Piker, who prefers al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Iran and Hamas.  What's a party to do?  Democrats' cynical, and fraudulent, answer is pretend that they don't actually know Piker. As el-Sayed put it, he's just “some Twitch streamer.”  Yet tomorrow, the Democrat student group at University of Texas Austin is paying Piker $100,000 to revile America on its campus. That's not “free speech.” That's a paid, and odious, spokesman. This is Frank Gaffney.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThree vans. Five men. Two in the morning. And a road that points toward RAF Fairford, one of the most important bomber operating locations tied to US power projection in Europe. When British counterterrorism police make arrests that trigger evacuations and bomb disposal teams, then release the suspects on police bail, it raises a question we can't ignore: what does a “near miss” around a strategic air base mean for American security, NATO deterrence, and the safety of our people overseas?I walk through what we actually know versus what we don't, because a suspicious stop is not the same as a confirmed attack, and precision matters if we want to respond wisely. Then we dig into why Fairford matters at all, from heavy bomber access to alliance signaling, and why threats don't have to breach a gate to be deadly. Bases rely on supply lines, contractors, nearby towns, and a public that's willing to report what looks wrong.We also tackle the motive question without pretending certainty. We talk about Iran's long history of proxy warfare and sponsorship of groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, the reality of rapid online radicalization, and the broader civilizational and internal cohesion pressures that can weaken an ally from within. The big takeaway is simple and unsettling: the front line is no longer a place on a map.Key Points from the Episode:• the known facts of the RAF Fairford arrests and what “police bail” means in the UK system • why RAF Fairford serves as a critical US bomber launch pad for Europe and beyond • separating suspicion from certainty while the motive remains unknown • how Iran's proxy strategy shapes threats even when the links are not proven • why overseas base security depends on roads, towns, contractors, and citizen reporting • the question of allied resilience and internal stability as part of deterrence • “the front line is no longer a place on a map” as the core lesson • the key questions to watch: what was in the vans, was Fairford the target, was a foreign state involved, will charges follow Be sure to check out our show page at TeamMojoAcademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resources. Read book briefs 44 and 45 on Substack. Go back and listen to Liberty Minute 81.Links?

Is America's $3.8 billion a year to Israel charity, or the best defense investment the United States makes? In this re-release of one of our most requested conversations, former Israeli Ambassador Yoram Ettinger joins Laurie Cardoza-Moore to answer the isolationists with the facts.He walks through intelligence valued at five CIAs, battle lessons that saved Lockheed Martin years of F-35 development, and the “unsinkable aircraft carrier” that spares America ships and divisions. He also explains why Iran's war on the “Great Satan” runs through Israel and reaches all the way to America's southern border. Recorded after the June 2025 Iran war, it's a clear case that standing with Israel is both a biblical duty and plain common sense.Find Ambassador Ettinger's research at https://theettingerreport.com.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. A Palestinian terrorist who took part in abducting Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or during the October 7, 2023, onslaught was killed in an Israeli strike in the Gaza Strip, the military and Shin Bet announced Sunday. Fabian fills us in on the strike, which was conducted by a special police unit. We discuss the renewed Hamas efforts to build up its forces and how it is using young children as weapons mules and human shields for operatives. Two years to the targeted killing of the former Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah, the terrorist group launched an explosive drone at Israeli troops operating in the southern Lebanon buffer zone Saturday night. We hear that the IDF keeps a list of targets to strike in response to Hezbollah drones during this ongoing fragile ceasefire. On Thursday, the Israeli filmmakers of the new controversial documentary "NAZA" (Collateral Damage) held a screening in Tel Aviv for local journalists, including from The Times of Israel, though the directors themselves were not present. Fabian weighs in on the experience of watching the film and the lack of journalistic practices exhibited in it. Also last week, Fabian boarded the INS Drakon — or Dragon — on the final leg of her maiden journey to the Haifa Naval Base from Germany. We hear about the IDF's plans to expand the Navy's capabilities and what it was like to submerge on this "beast of a machine." Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna Mayan Calendar Reading, Kryon's Merkabah Teaching and a Healing Meditation with Patricia Cota-Robles Hosts Springbird, Tara Green and Rama Arjuna open with a Mayan calendar reading for the turn into October, follow Rama's field reports on Gaza and Lebanon, sit in on a channeled Kryon teaching from Lee Carroll and a Mother dialogue on NESARA, and close with a recorded healing meditation from guest Patricia Cota-Robles. Opening Meditation and Mayan Calendar Reading Springbird opens the broadcast with a guided breathing exercise, inviting listeners into their heart space to gather with guides, guardians, totems and ancestors around a virtual council fire. Drumming with a Kimi drum, he calls in the seven galactic directions of the Mayan tradition, chanting "Ah Yum, Hunab Ku, Evam Maya, E Ma Ho" and "In Lak'ech Ala K'in." He then reads the Mayan day-count for the week, opening with today's White Self-Existing Dog, a 4 Oc tied to love, loyalty and heart, and moving through Saturday's Blue Overtone Monkey, Sunday's Yellow Rhythmic Human, Monday's Red Resonant Skywalker, Tuesday's White Galactic Wizard, and Wednesday's Blue Solar Eagle. He notes the calendar rolling into October on Thursday with the Yellow Planetary Warrior, and closes the week with Friday's Red Spectral Earth. For each glyph he offers a keyword mantra and urges listeners to release fear, mistrust or dissociation while embracing loyalty, clarity and planetary harmony, also noting a full moon at 12:49 p.m. Eastern on Saturday. Listener Support and Weekly Needs Springbird shifts into the weekly funding appeal, explaining that BBS Radio needs $184 for the Friday program's slot on Station One and directing listeners to bbsradio.com, where the show is listed under the Hard News heading at the 8:00 hour. He promotes Saturday's program on Station Two, The True History, at the 3:30 hour. He says Tara and Rama need $200 for living expenses plus $450 toward rent this week, a total of $650, and gives the PayPal address koran9999@hotmail.com, confirmed under the name Rainbow Roundtable and Rama Berkowitz, along with a mailing address for Ram D. Berkowitz at a post office box in Santa Cruz, New Mexico. He points listeners to rainbowroundtable.net for NESARA information and Rama's travel notes, and mentions a GoFundMe covering Tara and Rama's medical expenses. Calling it harvest season under a full moon, he thanks the audience repeatedly before ceremonially passing a talking stick to Tara and Rama, who greet the commanders, eagles and angels listening. Rama's Field Reports and Gaza-Lebanon Dispatches Rama reads a string of dated dispatches from earlier in the week, describing visits to Moon Mountain and Sun Mountain where he sits and walks in circles with deer, crows, cats and, on Wednesday, a hungry coyote he feeds popcorn and kitty food, using the Adi Shakti mantra each time. He recounts text messages he says arrive from the crew stationed over Gaza, describing an emerald-green and sapphire-blue ray that forms a protective force field and knocks out Israeli forces who try to cross it, and from Lady Nada, who says she addressed the UN Security Council about Lebanon and Hezbollah, and later reports that the Lebanese prime minister called for the withdrawal of all Israeli forces from Lebanon while dozens of delegates walked out during a speech by Netanyahu. Rama says the moment is a choice between an old timeline and a new one, invoking a figure he calls Mel Lawson. Tara then raises news that the Republicans are, in her words, "in deep trouble," and Rama predicts the party is ceasing to exist. Kryon's Merkabah Teaching via Lee Carroll Rama passes the talking stick to a segment titled The New Human Merkabah Interface, in which Lee Carroll channels an entity he calls Kryon of Magnetic Service. Kryon tells listeners that the changing energy of the planet may be altering the very purpose of old souls on Earth, moving them beyond individual paths toward something new. He describes the Merkabah as a double tetrahedron, one shape pointing down and one pointing up, sitting within the body's double helix and forming, together with human DNA, what he calls an antenna tuned to a shared field of collective consciousness. Kryon says humanity has long used that antenna only to receive intuition, but explains that the upward-pointing half is now being activated so that people can also transmit their inner divinity outward. He calls this new capacity a way of pushing "a grander truth" into the field, something he says is done automatically through joy and compassion rather than effort, promising more teaching, and perhaps a better word for it, next time. Star Lore, AI Worries and the Mother Dialogue Tara describes the nighttime view from their bay window, tracing the star Sirius, a craft she calls the New Jerusalem, and the three stars of Orion's Belt, which she names El, An and Ra, up to the Pleiades and its seven suns. Rama says one of those stars, Atlas, hosts twelve to fourteen planets, a number he links to Barack Obama's past comments about the solar system and to the Star of Bethlehem, which the pair identify as Sirius. They turn to news of the Pope's visit to Paris, with Rama recounting a speech along the Champs-Élysées warning that artificial intelligence is leading humanity toward what he calls the Borg. Tara and Rama then give out the conference-call number before inviting a channeled presence they call Mother, who speaks of NESARA nearing announcement, warns that detention centers are killing people, calls the GOP the "grand old pedophile party," and cites General Wesley Clark, the Bosnian war, journalist David Pakman, the book Solara An-Ra, and the destruction of Maldek. Patricia Cota-Robles's Healing Meditation and Sign-Off Rama says he briefly visited what he describes as Lady Master Athena's ship before passing the talking stick to a twenty-three-minute recorded segment from Patricia Cota-Robles. Cota-Robles tells listeners that recent influxes of light and a purging of the elemental kingdom, evident in record-breaking weather, are part of Mother Earth's ascension, building since the August 8 Lionsgate and the late-August eclipse series toward an accelerated ascension window running from the November 11 gateway to the December solstice. She leads a guided, first-person invocation calling in beings from the Grand Central Sun and an emerald-green and violet flame of "infinite transmutation," walking listeners breath by breath through their brain, eyes, ears, lungs, digestive system, endocrine glands, circulatory system, reproductive organs, and skeletal structure, asking for every trace of disease to be instantaneously removed and each system restored to perfect health. She closes declaring the healing "God-victoriously accomplished." Tara thanks Rama, the talking stick returns to Springbird, who thanks Mother, Cota-Robles and the audience, and the hosts sign off with "Namaste."

Security is one of the most basic human needs. For Israel, Andrew Parker argues, it has also been a defining struggle for nearly 80 years — and October 7 shattered any remaining illusion that security could be taken for granted.In Episode 508 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the United Nations, the delegates who walked out before his remarks, and Netanyahu's defense of Israel's military campaign and its response to Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and other regional threats.Andrew also takes on the increasingly divisive American political debate over Israel. He challenges Democratic leaders who have opposed or sought to restrict U.S. support for Israel, questions the international focus on Israel's conduct while other abuses in the Middle East receive less attention, and argues that opposition to Netanyahu should not become opposition to Israel's right to defend itself.At the center of the episode is a larger question: What happens when a nation's right to security collides with international condemnation, political pressure and competing narratives about a war?Andrew breaks down Netanyahu's message to the UN, the political reaction at home and abroad, and why he believes the debate over Israel is ultimately about something much larger than one prime minister, one political party or even one war.Watch or listen to Episode 508 of The Andrew Parker Show.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the protests in Venezuela supporting Maria Corina Machado rather than Delcy Rodriguez following the arrest in January of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. While Maduro was clearly a scumbag and did horrific things to the people of Venezuela for more than a decade, replacing him with the CIA which does horrific things to people worldwide is not an actual solution to the problem. How did this work out in Iraq? In Libya? Millions died. And this is only the beginning of the conquest in Latin America. Machado was denied the Presidency by the CIA initially, so she gave her Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump who quickly changed his position on her. To be clear, the Nobel Peace Prize has previously been given to war architect Henry Kissinger and drone bomber Barack Obama. Delcy Rodriguez is also clearly a CIA plant as she supported the deal over Maduro and massive amounts of oil are stolen from the country to sidestep Russia and China at the behest of Israel who initially claimed Venezuela had Hezbollah fighters training their cartels on the Island of Margarita which was blatantly false. If we look back at who the previous hopeful was during the attempted coup some years ago in Venezuela, it was Juan Guaido. This man was heavily funded by USAID and worked with the CIA. Two wrongs don't make a right. Maduro was bad, yes. The CIA is also bad and one may say worse when considering the international picture and history of the CIA. This will continue to stem further Middle East level instability in Latin America as the United States looks to go after Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico and several other Latin American countries next. This isn't some theory. It is proclaimed by the State Department. Stay tuned for more from WAM! GET 10% OFF ON SHILAJIT FROM DR.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s United Nations address and the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. Brett examines Netanyahu’s warnings about the growing threat from Iran and his broader assessment of Israel’s ongoing conflicts with Hamas, Hezbollah and other regional adversaries. Brett discusses Netanyahu’s claim that Israel, with significant support from the United States, has delivered major blows to its enemies across multiple fronts. He highlights Netanyahu’s comments about Israel’s military campaign against Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah, including his reference to the pager attacks that targeted Hezbollah members.

1906 SPINDLETOP OIL FIELD, BEAUMONT TEXASCONTENTS JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-22-26Diesel Shortages Drive Inflation And VolatilityLiz Peek highlights rising diesel prices, up over 80%, as a critical driver of global inflation affecting transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture. Ukrainian missile strikes on Russian refineries further strain refining capacity, while USrefinery limits exacerbate supply bottlenecks. Meanwhile, tech stocks rebounded due to enthusiasm over artificial intelligence innovations like Meta's Muse personal agent. The Federal Reserve unanimously implemented a quarter-point interest rate increase to address 3.7% PCE inflation. Furthermore, public dissatisfaction with high energy prices linked to the conflict with Iran is influencing political races, leading candidates to adjust campaign positions. (1)German Political Center Erodes In ElectionsJudy Dempsey, co-host Thaddeus McCotter: Dempsey and McCotter discuss significant political shifts following German state elections. In Berlin, the far-left party Die Linke gained strong support among young voters focused on housing costs. Simultaneously, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) capitalized on anti-immigration and anti-establishment sentiment, weakening Chancellor Friedrich Merz's centrist coalition. Dempsey notes that traditional parties struggle to attract younger constituents amid growing political polarization. Additionally, Russia actively targets Germany with hybrid warfare, cyberattacks, and propaganda aimed at deepening political divisions, as the Kremlinwelcomes dialogue with populist parties like the AfD. (2)Navigating Complex Relations With Global StrongmenMary Kissel assesses diplomatic strategies regarding China, Russia, and the Middle East. Ahead of potential talks between US leadership and Xi Jinping, Kissel highlights that Beijing views negotiations as opportunities for propaganda rather than genuine cooperation. She advocates for decoupling key American industries from China and protecting Taiwan's security. Regarding Russia, Kissel emphasizes that Vladimir Putin faces no domestic opposition and continues testing Western resolve through hybrid attacks and provocation. In the Middle East, she recommends decisive military actions against Iran-backed Houthi forces while maintaining strategic partnerships with regional actors like Oman and Saudi Arabia. (3)Entitlement Reform And Artificial Intelligence ChallengesJoseph Sternberg analyzes the upcoming 2032 Social Security solvency deadline and artificial intelligence governance. He cautions that proposals to eliminate the payroll tax cap create substantial tax burdens without fixing the long-term deficit. Sternberg warns against adopting European welfare policies that suppress economic growth, advocating instead for structural adjustments such as retirement age modifications. Regarding artificial intelligence, he critiques UN calls for heavy regulatory intervention. He argues that technological anxiety is overstated and that AI offers significant productivity benefits and security capabilities that help mitigate its own associated operational risks. (4)Global Military Shifts And Power DynamicsGregory Copley reviews defense challenges, Chinese internal politics, and the strategic conflict with Iran. He notes that Britain's Royal Air Force is supporting Saudi Arabia against Houthis primarily to preserve critical defense transactions. In China, President Xi Jinping faces domestic military purges and economic troubles, leaving both Beijingand Washington seeking temporary stability. On the US-Iran war, Copley argues Washington miscalculated by relying on leadership decapitation; the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps survived by decentralizing command into autonomous regional structures. Finally, Copley dismisses Earl Spencer's public attacks against King Charles III as personal opportunism. (5)Congressional Candidates Distance From Iran WarThaddeus McCotter discusses political maneuvering ahead of the congressional midterm elections. Republican Senate candidates Mike Rogers in Michigan and Ashley Hinson in Iowa have called for an end to the Iran war, gas tax suspensions, and diesel export pauses. McCotter explains that low presidential approval ratings and voter discontent over inflation drive candidates to distance themselves on key foreign policy issues. Drawing parallels to Hubert Humphrey's pivot on the Vietnam War in 1968, McCotter notes that candidates must frame such policy shifts around clear principles rather than political expediency. Competitive contests in traditionally solid states highlight broader party challenges. (6)Post Conflict Stabilization Plans For GazaSamuel Ben-Ur, co-host Thaddeus McCotter: Ben-Ur outlines the Board of Peace's six-month recovery program for Gaza, focused on rebuilding civilian administration and humanitarian infrastructure. The plan's primary hurdle remains Hamas's disarmament and tunnel destruction. To maintain public order, organizers recruited 16,000 Gazan police officers—vetted by Israeli intelligence—for training in Egypt. Drawing lessons from reconstruction efforts in Iraq, Ben-Ur stresses that the new force must maintain an absolute monopoly on weapons. However, implementation remains frozen pending Israeli election results. Furthermore, pending legal definitions regarding war crimes before the International Court of Justice could impact broader international diplomatic dynamics. (7)Hezbollah Narrative Adaptation Amid Battlefield LossDavid Daoud analyzes Hezbollah's tactical narrative adaptation following major military setbacks, including the IDF's destruction of key tunnel networks in southern Lebanon. To maintain support among its constituency, Hezbollah retroactively shifts its messaging—transitioning from claims of conquering territory to arguing that it conducts a war of attrition without defending specific geography. Daoud expresses skepticism regarding the Lebanese Armed Forces(LAF) deployment south of the Litani River, noting that the LAF lacks a mandate for coercive disarmament. Because the LAF continues deconfliction coordination with Hezbollah rather than seizing weapons caches, Daoud concludes LAF presence alone will not neutralize Hezbollah's military threat. (8)

Boortz reacts to President Trump’s address to the United Nations and argues that Trump’s remaining time in office should focus heavily on Iran.

The 2026 United Nations General Assembly is being heavily shaped by ongoing Middle East conflicts. Discussions involving Trump, Pezeshkian, Netanyahu, Gulf leaders, and other world officials are focused on the wars involving Iran, the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah, as well as broader concerns about regional security, global trade routes, and energy markets. Braden Peters (Clavicular), a controversial "looksmaxxing" streamer, has reportedly been charged in Massachusetts with rape, drugging a person for sex, and providing alcohol to an underage person. The allegations appear related to claims previously raised in a civil lawsuit filed by influencer Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Israeli military said on Friday that it was ramping up its forces on all fronts ahead of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, which starts on Sunday evening and ends on Monday night. Fabian explains what this means in practice. A Hamas commander who invaded Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, onslaught was killed in an airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip last week, the Israel Defense Forces announced Saturday, as Palestinian media reported several people killed in separate Israeli strikes across the enclave. We learn of additional targeted killings and reports of civilian fatalities alongside these strikes. Southern Lebanon saw renewed tensions over the weekend, with two IDF soldiers wounded by a Hezbollah roadside bomb and Israeli and Lebanese troops facing off near the military’s buffer zone. Fabian compares the activity in Lebanon and Gaza. Iran is rapidly advancing the reconstruction of a nuclear facility that was previously bombed by Israel, according to satellite images cited in a report Thursday by the Institute for Science and International Security. We hear Fabian's assessment of the likelihood of a third Israeli strike on the site. A senior intelligence officer who is believed to have played a key role in the failures that led to the Hamas terror group’s October 7, 2023, onslaught was formally dismissed from the military on Thursday, following months of deliberations over the matter. We hear why this still isn't exactly the end of the saga that includes pooh-poohing intel that could have prevented the massacre. President Isaac Herzog said Saturday evening that he had granted a pardon to Elor Azaria, a former IDF soldier convicted of killing an incapacitated Palestinian attacker in the West Bank city of Hebron in 2016, after the military opposed giving the pardon. Fabian reminds us of the controversial case and explains how the IDF opposes the presidential pardon that expunges Azaria's criminal record.

Lara Krinsky opens this special briefing with Rachel Lester, author and former digital media specialist in the IDF Spokesperson's Unit, to explore the psychological toll nearly three years of war has taken on Israel's soldiers and reservists. Lester describes returning to reserve duty immediately after October 7th and spending six months cataloging and communicating Hamas and Islamic Jihad atrocity footage, repeated exposure that eventually led to nightmares, severe trauma, difficulty functioning in civilian life, and the realization that even those far from the physical battlefield can carry deep wounds from war. She emphasizes the scale of Israel's mental-health challenge, noting that many reservists have served hundreds of days while carrying trauma and that outside organizations are essential because the country cannot meet the enormous need alone. Lester also reflects on her earlier work exposing Hezbollah's cross-border tunnels during Operation Northern Shield and explains that one of Israel's central communications challenges is remembering that international audiences often lack even basic context about Hamas, Hezbollah, and the threats Israel faces. Turning to today's “digital battlefield,” she says Israel may never fully win the narrative war but can do much better by communicating with greater discipline and emotional openness, while individuals in the Diaspora can play an important role in explaining Israel's story online. The briefing closes with Lester urging audiences to remember the human beings behind the uniform—often young people fighting for their homes and families—and with Lara stressing that caring for soldiers physically, emotionally, and psychologically must be part of the promise made to those repeatedly asked to defend Israel.

Des ruines antiques vieilles de 3 000 ans, un décor de cinéma balafré par plus d'une décennie de guerre et, au milieu des cicatrices, un écran de toile pour les enfants. C'est le pari d'Omar Malas, photographe et cinéaste syrien. Avec son cinéma itinérant, il sillonne les routes d'une Syrie encore marquée par la guerre pour ramener un peu de culture et de vie dans les villages. C'est le cas à Palmyre, où quelques milliers d'habitants seulement ont fait le choix de revenir vivre.  De notre envoyé spécial à Palmyre, La nuit tombe sur Palmyre. Omar Malas installe son cinéma de fortune : un vidéoprojecteur, des enceintes et quelques chaises en plastique. Pas d'écran ce soir : les images sont projetées directement sur un vieux mur de pierre. Au début, ils ne sont que cinq enfants devant la projection. Puis, au fur et à mesure que le film commence, un deuxième rang de chaises se forme. Ils sont bientôt une dizaine. Parmi les enfants installés devant le mur, Abdel, 12 ans, découvre pour la première fois ce type de cinéma en plein air. « J'étais en train de jouer avec mes amis et Omar est venu nous voir pour nous proposer de venir assister à une projection comme au cinéma et on n'a pas hésité une seconde, s'enthousiasme le garçon. Moi, c'est la première fois de ma vie que je vois un film sur grand écran. » Pour Omar, ce n'est pas vraiment le film qui compte. Ce qu'il veut, c'est leur faire découvrir autre chose que la guerre, leur offrir un moment de culture et simplement passer du temps avec eux. « Les gens reviennent tout doucement ici, en famille, avec leurs enfants, après 15 ans de guerre. Les enfants qui ont aujourd'hui 10 ans n'ont rien connu d'autre que la guerre, regrette Omar. L'essentiel pour moi, c'est qu'ils oublient les traumatismes qu'ils ont vécus. » À lire aussiSyrie: les touristes de retour pour visiter le site archéologique de Palmyre Quelques heures suspendues Ce soir, Omar projette Tom et Jerry, des films de Charlie Chaplin et des séries syriennes. Des femmes sortent de chez elles et viennent s'installer sur des tapis, près de l'écran, certaines avec leur narguilé. Dans cette ville encore largement silencieuse, la musique, les rires et les voix de l'écran créent pendant quelques heures une petite animation. Mais pour faire fonctionner ce cinéma itinérant, Omar doit aussi transporter sa propre source d'électricité. Et parfois, une simple batterie peut devenir indispensable. « Ça, c'est ma batterie externe pour avoir de l'électricité, montre-t-il. Même si ce soir on a tout ce qu'il faut, parfois cette batterie devient vitale car dans des villages, il n'y a aucun jus. » À Palmyre, ces quelques heures de projection prennent une dimension particulière pour les familles qui viennent tout juste de revenir. Mohamed est venu ce soir avec les siens. Pour lui, pouvoir simplement les amener ici aurait été inimaginable il y a encore quelques années. « Pendant la guerre, c'était impossible qu'une telle initiative voie le jour à cause des milices iraniennes, ou du Hezbollah, souligne ce père de famille. Mais aujourd'hui, grâce à Dieu, on peut amener nos enfants pour qu'ils découvrent et se divertissent. » La projection terminée, Omar replie son écran, range ses enceintes et reprend la route. Son cinéma itinérant continuera de sillonner la Syrie, village après village, à la rencontre de ceux qui tentent, eux aussi, de reprendre le chemin d'une vie normale.

For nearly three years I refused to spend every day chasing the latest lie about Israel. Not because the lies don't matter. Because the Jewish people cannot win if we live forever in the defendant's chair.In Hebrew, the word "Hasbara" is used when defending Israel. But that is the problem, it is defense. Pulse of Israel chose offense.Since October 7 Israel has been fighting a jihadi enemy that massacred families, burned people alive, kidnapped children, raped women, and celebrates murdering Jews. Not only Hamas in Gaza. Hezbollah in Lebanon. Houthis in Yemen. Jihadis in Judea and Samaria. A 1,400+ year jihad now backed by Iran, Qatar, and Turkey.While we fight that war, Western media, campuses, NGOs, and activists folded every allegation, famine, hospitals, aid, journalists, children, into one word: genocide. Holocaust inversion. Jews worldwide were assaulted, cancelled, and intimidated. Then contrary evidence appeared. The megaphone went quiet. Almost no corrections. Almost no apologies.Belgian philosopher Maarten Boudry documented that collapse. He paid for it: cancelled lectures, withdrawn invitations, attempts to get him fired. Liberal democracy is supposed to answer claims with evidence. Not with a mob.Expose every falsehood. Demand accountability. Then get off the stand.October 7 told us who the enemy is. Believe them. Israel did not choose that massacre. Once they chose war, the Jewish state had a duty to defeat those who hunt Jews.We will not apologize for IDF soldiers killing jihadis, destroying terror infrastructure, or defending Jewish families. We are home. We are sovereign. We have an army.The red-green alliance - radical progressives plus jihadi movements - is now inside the West. Israel is the front line, not a side story.The deeper victory is not only military. It is Jewish pride, identity, homeland, and faith in God. That awakening is already happening in Israel.Join Pulse of Israel. Share this. Strengthen the connection to our people, our land, and God.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following headlines worldwide and widespread anger in Israel over the allegations made in documentary film ‘NAZA’ about Israel's policies on civilian fatalities in the Gaza war, Magid reports that the Foreign Ministry has recommended to diplomats to dial down attacks on the Israeli filmmakers, assessing that ongoing furious Israeli denials are harming rather than helping. While the next official round of talks between Israel and Lebanon is delayed to next month, Magid notes that a small meeting between the Israeli ambassador to the US and the Lebanese ambassador took place in Washington, with each party reporting that there hasn't been enough progress on either side, in terms of the Lebanese army disarming Hezbollah and Israel withdrawing from some parts of southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, a Lebanese official spoke with Magid -- although interviews with Israeli press are forbidden -- relaying the message that Lebanon does want to disarm Hezbollah and that Israel’s strikes in southern Lebanon have become too indiscriminate. Magid also reports on the recent talks between the Houthis and the US regarding its seizure of a strategic stretch of the Red Sea coast, noting that engagement with the Iran-backed militia risks normalizing its status as an address for negotiation rather than an illegitimate actor. After Vice President JD Vance stated in a podcast interview that US Mideast policy can't be subservient to Israel's needs, Magid discusses other aspects of the interview, including that Vance called Israel an important partner and that relationships with all US allies are based on US interests. Finally, Magid reviews details from a leaked Board of Peace committee document summarizing 71 intended construction projects in Gaza, noting that it's all on hold because Israel hasn't agreed to the current disarmament plan.

Lebanon's future is at the center of a major diplomatic push as President Joseph Aoun meets French President Emmanuel Macron and Jordan's King Abdullah II in Paris. The talks come as Israel and Lebanon explore a possible security framework, including what could eventually replace UNIFIL in southern Lebanon.In this episode of the Israel Daily News Podcast, Shana Fuld breaks down the history behind the Israel-Lebanon conflict and explains why UNIFIL has remained in southern Lebanon for nearly 50 years.The discussion covers the origins of UNIFIL, the PLO's presence in southern Lebanon, Israel's 1978 and 1982 operations, Hezbollah's emergence, and the aftermath of the Second Lebanon War.Shana also explains the current proposal being discussed: Israeli forces could withdraw as the Lebanese military moves into southern Lebanon and Hezbollah is disarmed. But Israel says the Lebanese army must prove it can actually remove Hezbollah from the area before an Israeli withdrawal can take place.The episode also covers:

CAPTION 1904 ELECTION POLITICSSTREAMING-MAKING-JBS-SCHANZER-MCCOTTER-9-15Global Conflicts and the Looming American MidtermsTonight's broadcast details a global landscape of escalating conflict, focusing primarily on the unraveling security of the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. Analyst Jonathan Schanzer explains how Iran-backed Houthi rebels have disrupted international energy markets by seizing strategic ports and attacking Saudi Arabian infrastructure. This instability is mirrored in Lebanon, where the effectiveness of Israeli military strikes against Hezbollah is contrasted with the ongoing political paralysis of the Lebanese government. Domestically, the discussion shifts to the looming U.S. midterm elections, noting that President Trump's approval ratings remain low despite holding a Republican convention in Texas. The dialogue concludes by examining the disconnect between aggressive foreign policy challenges, such as the global diesel shortage and the war in Ukraine, and the economic concerns of the American electorate.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:• Ukraine goes back on offense in northern Donetsk, launching a new push in one of the most heavily contested parts of the war.• The United States is urging Syria to consider sending forces into Lebanon to help disarm Hezbollah, but Damascus fears the move could drag it into the wider regional war.• NATO fighter jets shoot down a drone over Lithuania while a Russian warship fires flares near a Danish military helicopter in another tense encounter in the Baltic.• In today's Back of the Brief, President Trump rejects calls for new restrictions on artificial intelligence, arguing that a strong president is all the guardrail the industry needs.To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting https://PDBPremium.com.Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of The President's Daily Brief.

Jason Jones traveled to southern Lebanon with his 18-year-old son on a humanitarian mission to assist vulnerable Christian communities caught between Israel and Hezbollah. They slept in villages while nearby bombing repeatedly shook their building. They traveled through dangerous territory and passed the aftermath of deadly attacks. Through the Vulnerable People Project, Jones's team visited isolated Christian villages, organized festivals for hundreds of children, celebrated the Feast of the Assumption with local Christians, and developed a plan to help these communities survive the coming winter.Jones describes what he says is the destruction of Christian villages, churches, crucifixes, and religious images by Israeli forces, comparing some of the desecration he witnessed to what he previously saw after ISIS attacks in Iraq. Ancient Christian communities in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank are being abandoned while trapped between competing regional powers.Jones calls on American Catholics to use their political influence and resources to defend them. He urges Christians to overcome internal divisions and develop a lasting "habit of solidarity" with persecuted Christians around the world. The children are suffering. The churches are being destroyed. The faithful are being abandoned. The question is whether American Catholics will respond, or remain silent while the Holy Land's Christians disappear.

CAPTION  1836 BEIRUTIsraeli Forces Detonate Strategic Hezbollah UndergroundDavid Daoud examines an Israeli detonation of Hezbollah's subterranean nerve center at Aita al-Shaab, which caused a 4.1 magnitude seismic event. The complex was originally designed for Hezbollah's planned invasion of the Galilee, a doctrine later mirrored by Hamas on October 7th. Daoud reports that Israeli forces are turning South Lebanon into a buffer zone to eliminate threats. However, he criticizes the Lebanese Armed Forces for failing to demonstrate real will to disarm Hezbollah, noting that 86% of reported LAF weapon seizures consisted merely of militarily insignificant bullets. (5)

CAPTION 1916 YEMEN FIGHTING.CONTENTS-JBS-9-14-2026Houthis Expand Reach Across Strategic WaterwaysBridget Toomey discusses how Houthi rebels rapidly expanded control across Yemen's western coast, seizing the strategic port of Mocha and Perim Island in the Bab el-Mandeb choke point. Yemeni armed forces conducted counter-operations in a designated killbox around Mocha while displaying strikes on Houthi positions. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabiaclosed its critical oil pipeline following drone attacks attributed to Iran-backed Iraqi militias operating in coordination with the Houthis. The Trump administration continues offering intelligence support to Saudi Arabia while maintaining its policy of avoiding direct airstrikes under an existing mutual non-engagement agreement. (1)Israeli Strikes Target Reconstituting Hamas LeadershipSamuel Ben-Ur analyzes recent Israel Defense Forces eliminations of key Hamas figures in Gaza, notably Khan Yuniscommander Muhammad Abdul Salam al-Yuzuri. Al-Yuzuri was actively attempting to rebuild the Qassam Brigadesand plan attacks prior to his elimination. Hamas maintains military dominance across thirty percent of the yellow line and remains heavily integrated within civilian population centers. Meanwhile, progress on the Board of Peace disarmament plan remains stalled until after Israeli elections due to political sensitivity surrounding territorial concessions. Ben-Ur notes that voluntary Hamas disarmament is improbable, highlighting alternative stabilization initiatives like pilot zones. (2)Historical Roots Shape Modern Yemeni ConflictGregory Copley details the deep historical context of Yemen, tracing its lineage from the ancient Sabaean kingdom through the Mutawakkilite Kingdom. He explains how Saudi hostility toward Northern Yemen stems partly from historical Hashemite claims to Mecca and Medina. Copley emphasizes that Northern Yemeni forces are tough professional fighters rather than simple rebel groups, driven to fight for survival against Saudi strikes. He suggests that Washington and London should engage in separate diplomatic negotiations, leveraging Oman's Sultan as a discreet mediator during upcoming visits to negotiate an accommodation and establish regional peace. (3)Latin American Leaders Engage European ForumErnesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa discuss their participation in Slovenia's Bled Strategic Forum, highlighting growing Eastern European engagement with Latin America. Araújo draws parallels between Eastern Europe's 1989 liberation and Latin America's current struggle against narco-socialism. Regarding Venezuela, Peña Esclusa emphasizes that citizens reject interim president Delcy Rodríguez despite opposition leader María Corina Machado's primary victory. Turning to Brazil's upcoming election, Araújo outlines a major judicial scandal tying Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes to a fraudulent banker, severely impacting President Lula da Silva's reelection campaign against Flavio Bolsonaro. (4)Israeli Forces Detonate Strategic Hezbollah UndergroundDavid Daoud examines an Israeli detonation of Hezbollah's subterranean nerve center at Aita al-Shaab, which caused a 4.1 magnitude seismic event. The complex was originally designed for Hezbollah's planned invasion of the Galilee, a doctrine later mirrored by Hamas on October 7th. Daoud reports that Israeli forces are turning South Lebanon into a buffer zone to eliminate threats. However, he criticizes the Lebanese Armed Forces for failing to demonstrate real will to disarm Hezbollah, noting that 86% of reported LAF weapon seizures consisted merely of militarily insignificant bullets. (5)Canada Explores Strategic European Union AllianceConrad Black evaluates Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's proposal for a unique associate alliance with the European Union. Black notes Canadians would support freer trade and cultural exchanges, though full political submission to Brussels directives would be rejected. He highlights French President Emmanuel Macron's upcoming meeting with Carney in St. Pierre and Miquelon as a significant recognition of Canadian distinctiveness. Furthermore, Black criticizes U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats and trade deficit claims, pointing out that Canada sells oil at discounted rates and maintains balanced cross-border auto manufacturing integration. (6)Economic Analysis Exposes Costs Of TariffsVeronique de Rugy analyzes the economic consequences of trade wars, specifically examining cross-border tariffs between the United States and Canada. She refutes mercantilist arguments, demonstrating that domestic consumers shoulder tariff costs through higher prices and product scarcity rather than foreign producers paying the fees. De Rugy explains that protectionist tariffs harm domestic manufacturing by raising input costs on imported components. She notes that even domestic producers unexposed to foreign competition raise prices when shielded, and highlights how tariffs on Canadian lumber directly elevate American housing costs. (7)Russian Strikes Target Ukrainian Railway NetworksJohn Hardie assesses a Russian drone strike targeting a Ukrainian train near the Polish border where international VIPs and former European officials had recently passed. While French officials viewed the strike as intentional intimidation, Hardie notes precise Russian motives remain speculative. Additionally, Hardie analyzes reports surrounding President Trump's statements regarding an energy target ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. He defends Ukraine's strategy of striking Russian oil refineries, explaining that disrupting refined diesel production effectively squeezes Moscow's military budget and creates domestic public pressure. (8)United States Secures Historic Venezuelan PetroleumSamuel Ben-Ur provides updates on Venezuela's political transition and energy sector, detailing a massive 25-year oil agreement executed with interim president Delcy Rodríguez. The deal involves North American companies redeveloping 17 oil fields containing 65 billion barrels of proved reserves, redirecting petroleum exports exclusively to the United States away from China and Russia. Ben-Ur notes that major firms like Chevron will lead a hundred-billion-dollar infrastructure revitalization effort. However, he emphasizes that no firm election date has been established, leaving the political timetable for returning to democratic governance uncertain. (9)BRICS Summit Highlights Internal Geopolitical FracturesMelik Kaylan, co-host Gordon Chang: Kaylan and Chang analyze the BRICS summit in India, characterizing the bloc as an incoherent coalition marked by deep internal rivalries, particularly between China and India. Kaylan explains that while member nations grandstand against Western policies in the Middle East, they lack real unified operational strength. Turning to Turkey, Kaylan argues President Erdoğan pursues neo-Ottoman expansionism across Syria, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa to distract from severe domestic economic weakness. Chang adds that Erdoğan reversed his prior support for Uyghurs to secure Chinese financial backing. (10)

CAPTION  1926 SANA'AIranian Proxy Warfare Disrupts Regional SecurityJonathan Schanzer analyzes how Iranian proxy strategy is disrupting regional security by targeting Persian Gulfenergy infrastructure. The Houthis have seized key Yemeni Red Sea territory including Mocha, while Iraqi militias shut down Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, restricting global oil flows. Desperate for military support, Saudi Arabia has engaged with regional partners and Israel. Meanwhile in Lebanon, the Israeli military continues dismantling Hezbollah's underground infrastructure, though political dysfunction in Beirut hampers government control over liberated areas. In Gaza, permanent stabilization remains tied to the difficult task of disarming Hamas through military power. (2)

CAPTION  1914 BERLIN BANK RUNCONTENTS-JBS-9-15Federal Reserve Rate Hikes And AILiz Peek expects the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates by 25 basis points due to persistent inflation stuck between 3% and 3.5%. While U.S. economic fundamentals remain strong—with GDP growth exceeding 4% and robust consumer spending—rising diesel fuel prices over $6 per gallon are driving broader price increases across businesses. Refinery constraints and global energy pressures continue to exacerbate these cost headwinds. Regarding artificial intelligence, Peek argues that data center concerns and job loss fears are overstated, though emerging self-generating AI capabilities warrant self-regulation rather than Congressional intervention. (1)Iranian Proxy Warfare Disrupts Regional SecurityJonathan Schanzer analyzes how Iranian proxy strategy is disrupting regional security by targeting Persian Gulfenergy infrastructure. The Houthis have seized key Yemeni Red Sea territory including Mocha, while Iraqi militias shut down Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, restricting global oil flows. Desperate for military support, Saudi Arabia has engaged with regional partners and Israel. Meanwhile in Lebanon, the Israeli military continues dismantling Hezbollah's underground infrastructure, though political dysfunction in Beirut hampers government control over liberated areas. In Gaza, permanent stabilization remains tied to the difficult task of disarming Hamas through military power. (2)German Populism Politics And Monetary PolicyJoseph Sternberg examines the electoral rise of Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in Saxony-Anhalt, highlighting concerns over unpurged neo-Nazi elements within its leadership. While France's Marine Le Pen cleaned up her party's extremist image, the AfD retains radical elements, yet attracts frustrated voters in East Germany due to immigration and economic grievances. Sternberg also notes JD Vance's controversial alignment with European right-wing parties. Turning to economics, Sternberg discusses the Federal Reserve under Kevin Warsh considering a rate hike amid global bond selloffs, rising long-term yields, persistent inflation, and low-growth fiscal challenges in Britain. (3)European Energy Costs And German PoliticsJudy Dempsey and Thaddeus McCotter analyze European energy vulnerabilities and German political turmoil. Global diesel shortages and rising fuel prices are straining European economies and driving inflation, while U.S. aid to Ukrainehas dropped by 99%. President Trump requested Ukraine cease targeting Russian refineries, though Kyiv lacks sufficient air defenses. In Germany, Chancellor Friedrich Merz faces severe pressure over long-overdue economic reforms alongside electoral gains by the far-right AfD in Saxony-Anhalt and upcoming state elections. Meanwhile, Polandexperiences growing anti-Ukrainian sentiment, and Germany's military is shifting focus toward protecting Ukrainianinfrastructure. (4)Trump Family Ties To Russian OperativesCraig Unger details a ProPublica investigation revealing that Umar Kremlev, head of the International Boxing Association and associate of Vladimir Putin, funded hundreds of thousands of dollars for Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding parties. Kremlev has ties to Russian organized crime, Putin's security apparatus, and an organization linked to kidnapping Ukrainian children. Unger explains that Russian organized crime operates as an arm of state security. Reviewing historical ties dating back to 1980 KGB fronts and 2016 campaign contacts with GRU associates, Unger highlights major ethical and constitutional concerns regarding the Trump family's financial gains. (5)Nuclear Deterrence And Russian Coercive ThreatsPeter Huessy examines Vladimir Putin's routine use of nuclear threats as weapons of blackmail, coercion, and "reflexive control" to deter NATO involvement in Ukraine. Grounded in a 1999 decree authorizing low-yield tactical nuclear weapons, Putin's rhetoric treats nuclear employment as a political instrument despite the catastrophic economic and human consequences of any nuclear detonation. Huessy emphasizes that nuclear use constitutes criminality rather than strategy. To counter Russian coercion, the U.S. maintains strong extended nuclear deterrence through visible bomber deployments in allied nations and modernizing sea-launched cruise missile systems to ensure long-term stability. (6)Midterm Politics Policies And Economic RealitiesThaddeus McCotter evaluates midterm election dynamics, pointing to low presidential approval ratings and a 7% gap favoring Democrats. He criticizes President Trump's proposed $5,000 dividend tied to maintaining a Republicanmajority as an un-Republican, redistributionist scheme that undermines fiscal discipline during high inflation. McCotter notes that combining cash injections with demands for Federal Reserve rate cuts will likely guarantee interest rate hikes. High gas ($4.59) and diesel ($6.09) prices continue fueling voter discontent. Furthermore, McCotter lambasts asking Ukraine to stop attacking Russian refineries as prioritizing campaign optics over existential defense realities. (7)Narrative History And The Western TraditionAllen Guelzo, co-author with James Hankins of the two-volume The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition, emphasizes the crucial role of narrative history. Guelzo notes a one-third decline in college history majors over fifteen years, driven by employment anxieties and hyper-professionalized academic specialization that neglects broader historical storytelling. Using historical examples like Gettysburg and Thermopylae, he illustrates how core civilizational ideas about freedom, human nature, and the pursuit of truth inspire human flourishing. Guelzo highlights the resilience of Western civilization, which routinely undergoes cultural renaissances following major historical crises. (8)

Hezbollah no longer owns every road in South Lebanon. In mixed villages that kept the group out and brought the Lebanese Army in, daily life looks almost normal—and Israel's deployment in Lebanon bends around instead of through them. This could mark the start of Lebanon asserting its sovereignty in the south, spelling the beginning of the end of Hezbollah's demise. But given Beirut's inertia, it's equally plausible Hezbollah will adapt and wait it out.Generation Jihad guest host David Daoud, an FDD senior fellow focused on Lebanon and Hezbollah, talks with Lina Khatib, an associate fellow in Chatham House's Middle East and North Africa Programme, about her July trip through that pocket, why the 2006 war never put the army in charge of the border, and whether Beirut can take Hezbollah's weapons now that the group is weaker and Assad is gone.This episode digs into the Lebanese military's limited seizure of weapons, the fear that a forced disarmament will spark another civil war, and the Shiite community that Hezbollah still dominates through sincere conviction, material benefits, and intimidation. Daoud and Khatib ask whether Hezbollah is limping toward the exit or adapting in the stasis, and whether talks with Israel are the start of a real peace—or just another pause before the next war.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As Israeli politicians assail the Israeli filmmakers behind documentary “NAZA,” about Israel’s alleged AI-assisted killing of civilians in Gaza, Fabian discusses the IDF's immediate response, accusing the filmmakers of making false and unverified claims. Fabian reports on recent IDF strikes in Gaza that killed several well-known, senior Hamas commanders, and notes that these strikes receive less attention than they did in the past. Fabian discusses two incidents in the West Bank over the weekend -- concerning an off-duty soldier who fired at Palestinians he said were throwing stones, and a soldier who shot and injured a Palestinian during a settler clash. After the IDF blew up Hezbollah's underground facility beneath Lebanon's Ali Taher Ridge, Fabian details aspects of the complex, and explains why it took so long to carry out the operation.

The Israeli army claims to have destroyed a series of underground tunnels used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. They reportedly found Iranian-made rockets, anti-tank missiles, drones and other munitions. Also: the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, initiates defamation proceedings against an Israeli newspaper that alleged he was warned in advance that Hamas was planning the October the 7th attacks; both President Trump and his deputy JD Vance have spoken at the end of a two day Republican mid-term convention in Dallas; we hear from a New York firefighter trapped inside one of the Twin Towers on September 11th twenty five years ago; a new proposal to change the rules of tennis to remove terms like love and deuce is being debated in Australia; and, one of London's grandest hotels is locked in a legal battle over allegations a guest failed to settle a bill of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
