The story starts with Donald Trump commuting the sentence of Rod Blagojevich then and a pardon. What is the real story behind this movement and how does Jared Kushner fit into this picture?
Tommy and Ben discuss the horrific Bondi Beach terror attack, the rise of antisemitism in Australia, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bad-faith attempt to connect Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state to this violence, and the perpetrators potentially training in the Philippines. They also talk about the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and how it fits into President Trump's creep towards regime change, Chile's election of the most right-wing President since Pinochet and Trump gleefully taking credit, questions about why US troops are still in Syria after the death of two US soldiers, pro-democracy advocate Jimmy Lai's conviction in Hong Kong, a proposed policy to check the social media accounts of visitors to the US, the death of Jared Kushner's corrupt hotel deal in Serbia, and highlights from episode 2 of The Liz Truss Show. Then, Ben speaks to Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, about global shifts to watch for in 2026.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Today's Headlines: As of Tuesday evening, the suspect in the Brown University shooting remains at large, with police releasing new footage and a timeline in hopes the public can help identify him. Meanwhile, a Vanity Fair profile of Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles revealed unusually blunt on-the-record comments, including describing Trump as having an “alcoholic's personality,” calling JD Vance a longtime conspiracy theorist, and criticizing DOJ handling of the Epstein files—remarks the White House has since dismissed. Trump also filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC over a January 6 documentary, a case now assigned to a Trump-appointed judge. In media news, Warner Bros. Discovery is expected to reject Paramount's $108 billion bid in favor of a Netflix deal, after Jared Kushner's firm pulled its backing from Paramount. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the Pentagon will not release full footage of a controversial strike on a drug boat that reportedly killed wounded survivors. In Los Angeles, Nick Reiner was charged with murdering his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, as Michelle Obama publicly defended the couple's legacy. Finally, new data shows unemployment rose to 4.6% in November, the highest level in more than four years, with job losses in three of the past six months.

Warner Brothers Discovery has rejected Paramount Skydance's hostile takeover bid, saying it carries many risks and is inferior to Netflix's offer. The company's board said the Ellison family that controls Paramount "consistently misled" them about guarantees as it urged shareholders not to sell their stocks. Plus, as oil prices rise following US President Donald Trump's order to blockade oil tankers in and out of Venezuela, we take a look at just how central oil is to the South American country's economy.

C dans l'air l'invité du 15 décembre 2025 avec Benjamin Haddad, ministre délégué chargé de l'Europe.Arrivera-t-on bientôt à un accord de paix ? Arrivé hier à Berlin pour de nouveaux pourparlers avec le chancelier Friedrich Merz, mais aussi les émissaires américains Steve Witkoff et Jared Kushner, le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky paraît vouloir engager ces négociations cruciales dans un état d'esprit d'ouverture et de recherche du compromis. Dans un geste visant visiblement à faire avancer les pourparlers pour mettre fin à la guerre provoquée par l'invasion russe, il a déclaré être prêt à renoncer aux demandes d'adhésion de l'Ukraine à l'Otan, en échange de garanties bilatérales de sécurité conclues avec les Etats-Unis, des membres de l'Union européenne et un certain nombre d'autres pays.Le dirigeant ukrainien sait pertinemment - et a d'ailleurs admis - qu'il était peu probable que son pays rejoigne l'Otan dans un avenir proche, tant est forte l'opposition de la Russie sur ce point. "La non-adhésion de Kiev à l'Otan est une "pierre angulaire" des pourparlers, a rappelé Dmitri Peskov, porte-parole du Kremlin, aujourd'hui. Washington n'a pas encore fait connaître sa position sur les amendements proposés par l'Ukraine et ses alliés européens au plan de paix américain. Dans ces négociations, l'Europe cherche à faire valoir sa voix et ses intérêts. Dans la foulée de Macron, le chancelier allemand est désormais lui aussi à la manoeuvre. Hôte des pourparlers se déroulant en Allemagne, Friedrich Merz s'est montré particulièrement virulent dans un discours prononcé en Bavière, samedi, comparant la guerre de Poutine en Ukraine à l'annexion par Adolf Hitler des régions frontalières germanophones de la Tchécoslovaquie en 1938.Benjamin Haddad , ministre délégué chargé de l'Europe, est notre invité. Il reviendra avec nous sur la situation des pourparlers concernant l'Ukraine, mais aussi sur le rôle que les Européens peuvent jouer. Comment qualifier la relation transatlantique actuellement, alors que le gouvernement américain a averti récemment l'UE d'un risque d'"effacement civilisationnel" ?
Donald Trumps Verhandlungsduo Steve Witkoff und Jared Kushner war zu neuen Friedensverhandlungen in Berlin - und der US-Präsident sieht eine Lösung für den Konflikt zwischen Russland und der Ukraine seitdem näher als je zuvor. Die beiden Kongresskammern in Washington stimmen derweil mit großer Mehrheit für ein neues Gesetz, das einen möglichen Teilrückzug der US-Armee aus Europa deutlich einschränken würde. Wie selbst prominente Republikaner sich gegen Trumps Nationale Sicherheitsstrategie stellen, ordnet Stefanie Bolzen in „This is America“ ein. Außerdem geht es in dieser Folge um die breit angelegten Charmeoffensive der AfD bei den MAGA-Republikanern. US-Korrespondentin Stefanie Bolzen ordnet jede Woche im Gespräch mit den WELT-Redakteuren Antonia Beckermann und Wim Orth die aktuellen Nachrichten aus den USA ein – mal aus Washington, mal aus Florida oder den Flyover-States. "This is America" ist der Podcast zur US-Politik, in dem wir nicht nur über, sondern auch mit Amerikanern reden. Wenn Euch der Podcast gefällt, dann lasst gerne eine Bewertung für uns da.
BEST OF: With a reportedly historical peace agreement made in the Middle East war has been averted and the world will finally be a harmonious place to live for all people. Sure, if you believe in the framing of that narrative. Reality is much different. The so-called “peace” deal was only agreed upon for two major reason: one, the President had to ensure Israel would not break it, because this is all they have ever done to such agreements; and two, because Jared Kushner was the architect, the same guy who wants to build, with Trump, a resort in Gaza. At home it was Stephen Miller who is credited as the architect of a militarized police state, the same guy behind White House policy who said the President is now operating with “plenary authority,” total authoritarian rule. How naive are we? Within hours of the peace announcement, Israel was claiming its enemies were simply regrouping and that soon an American city may be in the crosshairs of a nuclear attack from Iran. This is just days after we were told that terrorists were going to dress like the Village People and bomb hospitals in the US. Since the President has been labeled a “savior” and “messiah” of the Jewish people by Mariam Adelson, it appears the plan is set. The peace will not last long and will be violated in a way that triggers a larger war. The nihilists will be unleashed, Christianity and Islam will go to war, and the Jewish state will fulfill their Talmudic prophecy about the antichrist; about non-Jews becoming servants of Jews. The push for Armageddon optics is so obvious and yet Christians tend to go along with it because what it implies for their own belief. The notion that America should invest only in Israel, ban other religions, and create a Judeo-Christian theocracy is a growing cancer. In this way, it appears that Jesus himself is the reason for the treason. Otherwise, one does not need Jesus or Christianity to have a safe, clean, high-trust, advanced society. When Jesus is weaponized, he becomes a destructive tool of conquest and control. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Mit Schoko-Panzern gegen Neo-AdolfAnti-Diplomatie: Im Vorfeld zur heutigen Friedensverhandlung haben Bundeskanzler Merz & Co. erneut das Feindbild Russland beschworen und Putin mit Hitler verglichen. Ein Kommentar von Paul Clemente.Am vergangenen Donnerstag verkündete die Pressesprecherin im Weißen Haus, Karoline Leavitt: Donald Trump wolle beim Ukraine-Krieg nicht länger moderieren.„Der Präsident ist extrem frustriert über beide Seiten dieses Krieges und hat Treffen satt, die nur um des Treffens willen stattfinden. Er will keine weiteren Diskussionen. Er will Taten sehen. Er will, dass dieser Krieg ein Ende hat.“Auf die Frage, ob Trump einen Vertreter zu den Friedensverhandlungen nach Berlin sende, erwiderte Leavitt:„Wenn es eine echte Chance gibt, ein Friedensabkommen zu unterzeichnen, wenn wir das Gefühl haben, dass diese Treffen der Zeit der Vereinigten Staaten an diesem Wochenende würdig sind – dann werden wir einen Vertreter entsenden.“ Inzwischen hat Trump gleich zwei Unterhändler in die deutsche Hauptstadt geschickt: Steve Witkoff und Jared Kushner. Aber sieht der US-Präsident dort wirklich „echte Chancen“ für ein Friedensabkommen? Eher vorstellbar wäre: Dass die beiden eine Eskalation verhindern sollen. Schließlich berauschen sich deutsche Politiker zunehmend am Bellizismus. Eine Kostprobe gab Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz vor wenigen Tagen. Auf dem CSU-Parteitag in München erklärte Merz: Der russische Staatspräsident sei ein zweiter Hitler und Ex-Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel ein Chamberlain-Aufguss. Nein, originell ist dieser Vergleich nicht. Die Mainstream-Medien bemühen ihn fast täglich, aber: In der gegenwärtigen Situation ist er brandgefährlich. Denn mit einem Hitler kann man nicht Frieden schließen. Bei ihm verbieten sich Kompromisse oder gar Entgegenkommen. Fassen wir die Argumentation der Rede zusammen:So wie Hitler verfolge Putin den Aufbau eines Imperiums. Wie er das macht? Ganz einfach: Indem er frühere Mitgliedsstaaten der UdSSR militärisch einkassiert. Genau da zieht Merz die Parallele zum Jahr 1938 - dem Jahr, als Hitlers finstere Pläne zur Eroberung Europas sich abzeichneten. So wie inzwischen die Absichten vom bösen Putin. O-Ton Merz:„Das war eigentlich das Muster, das wir schon 2014 hätten sehen müssen. Und spätestens seit 2022 wissen wir es, dass es ein Angriffskrieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine ist, gegen Europa ist. Und wenn die Ukraine fällt, dann hört er nicht auf. Und genauso wenig wie 1938 das Sudetenland nicht gereicht hat. Putin hört nicht auf. Und wer heute noch glaubt, dass er damit genug hat, der soll bitte die Strategien, die Papiere, die Reden, die Auftritte von ihm genau analysieren.“Der feuchte Traum des Kreml-Chefs sei eine„Wiederherstellung der alten Sowjetunion in den Grenzen der alten Sowjetunion, mit einer massiven Gefährdung, auch militärischen Gefährdung der Länder, die früher einmal zu diesem Imperium dazugehört haben“.Zum Glück blieb diese Parallelisierung nicht unwidersprochen. Der englische Historiker Jeffrey Sachs stellte gegenüber der Berliner Zeitung klar: Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Friedrich Merz hat ein internationales Spitzentreffen zusammengebracht, bei dem es um einen möglichen Weg zu einem Waffenstillstand in der Ukraine geht. Wolodymyr Selenskyj ist in der Hauptstadt, ebenso die amerikanischen Unterhändler Jared Kushner und Steve Witkoff. Europa verhandelt mit, unter hohem Zeitdruck und mit offenen Fragen zu Sicherheitsgarantien und der Zukunft des amerikanischen Vorschlags für einen Frieden-Rahmen. Gordon Repinski berichtet, warum dieser Tag zu einem Wendepunkt werden könnte, oder zu einem weiteren gescheiterten Versuch. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview spricht Andrij Melnyk, ukrainischer Botschafter bei den Vereinten Nationen und früherer Botschafter in Berlin, über die Erwartungen an die Gespräche. Er erklärt, warum Europa eine stärkere Rolle einnehmen muss, welche Garantien für die Ukraine unverzichtbar sind und wie weit sein Land bereit ist, in den Verhandlungen zu gehen, ohne seine territoriale Integrität aufzugeben. Danach richtet sich der Blick in die USA. Pauline von Pezold analysiert den Auftritt des AfD-Außenpolitikers Markus Frohnmaier beim Young Republican Club in New York. Dort wurde sichtbar, wie eng sich Teile der AfD an das Umfeld von Donald Trump anbinden und welche strategische Bedeutung dieser Schulterschluss für kommende Wahlen in Deutschland hat. Zum Schluss geht es nach Baden-Württemberg. Maximilian Stascheit berichtet vom Grünen Parteitag in Ludwigsburg. Cem Özdemir setzt im Wahlkampf auf Bekanntheit und Kontinuität, um das Staatsministerium zu verteidigen. Ein Parteitag zwischen Aufholjagd, Personalisierung und der Frage, ob dieses Konzept im Autoland aufgeht. Das Berlin Playbook als Podcast gibt es jeden Morgen ab 5 Uhr.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to unpack Kristi Noem's “Ice Barbie” theatrics at Homeland Security to Pam Bondi's loyal remaking of the Justice Department. They explore how, for the people in Trump's political orbit, loyalty and spectacle outweigh competence. Wolff and Coles dive into Corey Lewandowski's influence, Alina Haber's rocky rise, Jared Kushner's allies, and the fractures forming among Trump's women acolytes. Behind the headlines, they reveal a presidency driven by personal power, loyalty tests, and showmanship—where the inner workings are as unpredictable as the public drama. Hosted on Acast.

Een week geleden deed Netflix een gigantisch bod voor de overname van multimediabedrijf Warner Bros, waarna Paramount er nog een schepje bovenop deed deze week en 108 miljard dollar op tafel legde. Wat leek te beginnen als een normale overname werd ineens politiek toen bleek dat onder anderen Trumps schoonzoon Jared Kushner achter het laatste bod zitten. Wat speelt hier allemaal? En hoe ver gaat de politieke bemoeienis rond deze overnamestrijd? Presentator Hans van der Steeg gaat hierover in gesprek met: Koen Haegens, journalist de Groene Amsterdammer

In this episode of Right On Radio the hosts navigate a wide-ranging conversation with guest John Brisson (WeReadTheDocuments) covering urgent geopolitical developments, spiritual interpretation, and end-times speculation. The show begins with a brief tech hiccup, a word-of-the-day segment drawing on Isaiah and Deuteronomy, and then moves into the main discussion between Jeff and John. Key topics include the newly reported United Nations "Board of Peace" (UN Security Council Resolution 2803), Donald Trump's proposed leadership role, abstentions by Russia and China, and the structure of the board — ten leaders from Arab and Western nations and a secondary team reportedly including names like Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff (with ongoing debate about Tony Blair's involvement). John and Jeff unpack how the board could fit into prophetic frameworks (ten kings, regional realignments) and whether the arrangement foreshadows larger shifts in NATO, European security, and global alignments. The hosts examine developments around Gaza and hostage exchanges, including reported U.S.–Egypt plans to empty Gaza temporarily, proposals for tokenized land purchases, and talk of a technocratic/AI-administered Gaza Strip. They also discuss regional conflicts (Azerbaijan–Armenia), the Isaac Accords in Latin America, and the role of influential figures such as Javier Milei, Elon Musk, and financiers tied to media and tech deals. Spiritual and symbolic themes are woven throughout: Chabad-Lubavitch influence, Trump's controversial ritual at the Rebbe's grave, questions about Kushner and Ivanka's ties, and concerns about Jewish mysticism and modern political-religious alliances. The episode covers the rise of AI and prediction markets (Kalshi, Polymarket) and media–tech partnerships (CNN, Palantir, Fox) as possible instruments in building a global "beast" system or unified narrative. John and Jeff debate theosophical plans (externalization of the hierarchy), the potential for a one-world religion and the timeline for major events (speculation about 2026–2027), and interpretations of Mystery Babylon and Jerusalem's prophetic role. The conversation alternates between reporting current developments, geopolitical analysis, and biblical prophecy, emphasizing watchfulness, prayer, and community action. Guests & logistics: John Brisson (WeReadTheDocuments) joins host Jeff. The episode closes with practical notes — an invitation to a Telegram prayer meeting and a reminder to follow John's channels — and a final exhortation to love God, family and neighbor while staying alert to world events and prophetic signs.

Two of the biggest media companies in the world are going to war over Warner Bros. Discovery, a massive media conglomerate that owns a historic Hollywood studio, as well as the likes of HBO and CNN. This week, Paramount put in a hostile all-cash takeover bid for Warner Brothers worth more than $108 billion. This followed Netflix's announcement a few days earlier that they had won a bid to buy the company's film, studio and streaming divisions, which alarmed many people in the industry. The Paramount bid is led by big time MAGA donor Larry Ellison and is backed by U.S President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Trump has already signaled he will be involved in whatever deal comes through. Lucas Shaw, who writes the Screentime newsletter for Bloomberg, talks us through what this means for media concentration, influence over the news and the future of the entertainment industry.

The fate of Hollywood rests in President Trump's hands as Netflix and Paramount fight to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery—the home of HBO Max, Harry Potter, and Superman. Will Trump back Paramount's bid by longtime loyalist Larry Ellison (with help from presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner)? Or will Netflix's Ted Sarandos be able to woo the President to his side? Jon, Tommy, and Lovett discuss Trump's involvement in the Hollywood mega-deal and all the rest of the news, including the administration's bailout for soybean farmers who have been hurt by tariffs, Congressional Republicans unwillingness to do anything about the coming ACA premium hikes, and the President's promise to sign an executive order that would sweep away state AI regulations.

President Trump will allow technology giant Nvidia to sell its second-best artificial intelligence chips to China. The move reverses years of policy restrictions and could help push China farther along in the AI race. "Chip War" author Chris Miller shares more.Then, Paramount launched a hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery after Warner Bros. agreed last week to sell its streaming and studio businesses to Netflix. David Ellison, the son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, bought Paramount this summer. The Ellisons have strong ties to Trump. And a firm run by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner would help finance Paramount's bid. NPR's David Folkenflik explains what this could mean for U.S. consumers.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
SEC Announces It Will Not Respond to Most No-Action Requests for Rule 14a-8 Shareholder Proposals.Government shutdown - the staff claimed they COULDN'T respond because after the shutdown, they had too much other work to do: “current resource and timing considerations following the lengthy government shutdown and the large volume of registration statements and other filings requiring prompt staff attention.” It just happens to coincide with Atkins saying there shouldn't be shareholder proposals, that's just a coincidence.John Cheveddan and Jim McRitchie - let's be honest, if it weren't for Cheveddan and McRitchie over 3 decades, we'd have less shareholder rights, and companies would not be such big whiners about “woke” shareholder proposals. Guys, you ruined it for all of us with your attention to democracy.Woke ESG shareholders like As You Sow, Arjuna, Trillium, and nuns - if we're honest, the nuns and SRI crowd might have been the straw, right? I mean they're putting in proposals that MAKE Exxon sue them! How dare they ask for carbon scope 3 emissions data!Antiwoke shareholders like NCPPR and Jesus - excluding Cheveddan/McRitchie, the highest volume of shareholder proposals have actually been the ANTI-woke filers, asking for things like a report on how companies will stop funding trans conversions (or one actual one where they asked about the reputational risk of NOT supporting un-trans-ing). Some of the proposals are so comically stupid, but the companies have to respond using third party lawyers and do the whole thing - maybe National Legal whatever center for whatever is the REAL straw?ISS and Glass Lewis - this was like 90% of what they did, since they certainly didn't suggest voting against any directors unless an activist was involved. So when Ramaswamy and Musk and DeSantis and Texas declared proxy advisors woke activists, it was hard to deny since they didn't do any work to vote out directors - just offer customers whatever voting pablum they wantedBlackRock and investors who never voted anywayOther - Atkins and Manhattan institute - lobbyists, administrationPepsi to cut product offering nearly 20% in deal with $4 billion activist ElliottPepsiCo said it also plans to accelerate the introduction of new offerings with simpler and more functional ingredients, including Doritos Protein and Simply NKD Cheetos and Doritos, which contain no artificial flavors or colors. The company also recently introduced a prebiotic version of its signature cola..WHO DO YOU BLAME?Pepsi CEO Ramon Laguarta - CEO since 2018, 21% influence, 43% connected to the board (so they're basically all known entities), has overseen basically zero shareholder value increase in the last 5 years, overall .513 TSR batting average - what has he been doing? Did he put a sign on the door begging an activist to come hang?Activist Elliott Management - Paul Singer is notorious as a real foodie… wait, no, sorry, he's known as a “vulture capitalist” who helped oust Jack Dorsey from Twitter because he didn't want him to hang in Africa, but was happy to have Elon Musk (who has five jobs) take it over. In 2021, he did take a 3% stake in Ahold Delhaize, a grocery store owner, so he's probably had a protein shake sprinkled on Doritos before?Pepsi's board - first of all, it's 14 people, which is like 7 people too many. Second - 4 finance types? Two pharma/med types? There are more people who know medicine than food - only ONE agribusiness repped on the board (Bunge) with the only other food production from Pepsi or ex-Pepsi execs? There are three directors on the nom committee with 10+ years on the board, and the other two have.. 9 years. Vasella has been there 23 years - time for some turnover.Roberto P. Martínez (International Chief Commercial Officer and CEO of New Revenue Streams) and Tara Glasgow (Executive Vice President and Chief Science Officer) - someone needs to be held responsible for Doritos Protein and Simply NKD CheetosJimmy Kimmel signs ABC extension through 2027Most of Kimmel's recent renewals have been multiyear extensions. There was no immediate word on whose choice it was to extend his current contract by one year.WHO DO YOU BLAME?Bob Iger - he yanked Kimmel to kiss Brendan Carr's ass and the affiliates, then put him back on when subscribers cancelled, then convinced affiliates to re-air, all because Kimmel said conservatives really didn't want Kirk's killer to be conservative? Now Kimmel is EXTENDED? It has to be the dumbest series of events since “Don't Say Gay” bill in Chapek's era, right?Disney's board - these are well known directors in the bag for Iger, and Iger would not even be CEO again if not for them. Susan Arnold, who at the time had more influence on the board than Iger, was chair of the nominating committee, had Mel Lagomasino and Derica Rice on with her, all went with Iger's hand picked choice of Bob Chapek. Arnold left the board, but both Rice and Lagomasino stayed behind to help choose… Bob Iger to return? Then brought on James Gorman, who hand picked HIS successor, to lead succession with Bob Iger again? Is anyone doing a job on this board? ISS - when Nelson Peltz took his Ike Perlmutter borrowed stake in Disney in 2024, ISS sided with Peltz and suggested voting out Mel Lagamasino because she was the longest tenured director and “responsible” for Disney's failed succession. In 2025, after Peltz lost and no one cared, ISS backed Lagamasino. With analysis like that, it's no wonder Disney can bow to the Trump Administration since there's no way ISS will actually suggest changing the board unless an old racist takes a stake.Brendan Carr - is this just a finger in the eye of Carr, the FCC, and the angry conservative affiliates by Iger? Is this Disney's way of being woke now?Other - Baby Doll Dixon, Jimmy Kimmel's agent - should have gotten him a 10 year deal with a player option out. Optically way better, gets bought out if they fire him.Trump says Netflix, WBD deal could be 'problem' as son-in-law Kushner backs Paramount bid“I'll be involved in that decision too,” Trump said days after Netflix agreed to buy WBD's film studiosParamount revealed in a regulatory filing that its hostile bid for WBD bid is being backed by Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is a former White House advisor - and every Middle Eastern sovereign fund, as well as over $40bn by Larry Ellison (and David Ellison committed to spend more in a text to co-CEO Ted SarandosWHO DO YOU BLAME?Larry Ellison - without daddy's $40bn (and more - what's $40bn when you have $269bn in net worth and own an island in Hawaii), there is no deal - literally no deal, this is pure nepo - THE OLIGARCHYMiddle Eastern sovereign funds - I mean, they're involved in EVERY major deal of a conservative figure (Musk/Twitter, Musk/Grok, Ellison/Paramount, Ellison/TikTok, Trump/Air Force One) and are backing another consolidation. Is this the greatest capitalist manipulation ever? Dictator capitalism?Robby Starbuck - he claimed “victory” in the Skydance acquisition terms for killing DEI at Paramount, used the opportunity to lick the boot of Brendan Carr, who is almost guaranteed to investigate Netflix given their wokeness. Somehow it's all Robby Starbuck's fault, right?WBD chair Sam Di Piazza - a near lifer at PwC as an accountant until he want to Citi as an i-banker for a stint, served on AT&T's board… an ACCOUNTANT is running the show! No one has heard of him, he's not in any of the news, but ostensibly he (and the board) approved the Netflix deal after dealing with Baby Ellison. The board is the only group that gets all the bids, compares them, and ultimately decides what to agree on and send to shareholders. If they chose Baby Ellison to avoid him throwing a temper tantrum to daddy, there's no hostile takeover and conservatives can rejoice in owning all of media, right? Snap appoints Arlo CEO Matthew McRae to board of directorsPrior to his current role as CEO of Arlo Technologies, which he has held since August 2018, McRae served as Senior Vice President of Strategy at NETGEAR and as Chief Technology Officer at VIZIO for over seven yearsWHO DO YOU BLAME?Evan Spiegel - he owns 53.1% of voting power - there is no one else to blameRobert Murphy - he owns 46.4% of voting power - what if he doesn't like Matt McRae? Do they resort to a thumb war? Who are we kidding, it's still Evan Spiegel's faultInvestors, who, for whatever reason, have OK'ed the idea of dual class shares such that Spiegel and Murphy own 99.5% of the voting power and less than 8% of the economic interest - while Fidelity owns 14.6% of the shares that control 0% of the overall vote. It was banned from index inclusion because the shares had NO voting rights - but somehow Meta is ALLOWED on every index because you have voting rights even if you can NEVER EVER WIN as Zuck owns control. What's the fucking difference??Worst CEOs of the Year Evan Spiegel of Snap
2025: The Year America Got Thinner — But Not Healthier | Media Power Grabs & Cancer Truths 2025 is being called “the year America shed” — with more people losing weight than ever thanks to fad diets, Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and every quick-fix trend imaginable. But here's the shocking truth: Americans may be getting thinner, but not healthier. Why? Today we break down the real reasons behind the wellness illusion. Then, a massive story almost no one is paying attention to: the brewing Warner Bros. takeover battle. Donald Trump, backed by Saudi money and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, is pushing for a hostile takeover to compete with (and control) Netflix. What's the motive? What does it mean for media, entertainment, and democracy? We dig into the power dynamics behind the scenes. Plus — new, surprising research on cancer detection asks a provocative question: Should all cancers be found? The answer isn't what you think.

Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst joined Mosh after returning from Israel to break down the fragile ceasefire, the behind the scenes of war reporting, how he deals with the trauma of what he reports on, and the split-second decision that saved his life on October 7, 2023. Yingst's guiding philosophy after a decade in conflict zones: humanize civilians, avoid sweeping conclusions, and stay relentlessly accurate — even when everyone online demands you pick a side. Yingst explains what's happening between Israel and Hamas right now, and details the effective media blackout in Gaza, and how he verifies information through contacts inside the enclave. Yingst walks through how he looks to get the story right, the pressures of real-time reporting, and the importance of old-school verification. He revisits October 7th, including his book, 'Black Saturday,' about the attack and the aftermath, and he reflects on what both Israelis and Palestinians are actually experiencing on the ground and why most people in the region aren't consumed by war despite global perceptions. The conversation also covers: What remains of Hamas and whether Arab states can shape a post-war Gaza Why the world fixates on Israel-Palestine His reporting during the chaotic Kabul evacuation How he deals with the trauma of what he covers Trump's nontraditional diplomacy and Jared Kushner's growing role Where Ukraine-Russia peace talks stand and whether Putin has any incentive to stop fighting Rising global antisemitism and how it's viewed inside Israel The role of social media in modern war reporting Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

Today's Headlines: The Trump administration released its 33-page National Security Strategy — immediately praised by the Kremlin — outlining U.S. “dominance” in the Americas, embracing Middle East leaders “as they are,” warning Europe of “civilizational erasure,” and boosting far-right movements there. It also shifts U.S. policy in Africa toward extracting “latent economic potential,” and says avoiding conflict with China is suddenly a “priority.” At the Reagan Defense Forum, Pete Hegseth declared the end of America's “utopian idealism,” saying the military should ditch democracy-building and climate concerns for “practical interests.” Sure, Pete. Israel, Qatar, and the U.S. met to build relations after Israel's strike in Doha it was, of course, hosted by Steve Witkoff — who, along with Jared Kushner, also had a long call with Zelensky about territory and “security guarantees.” Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will hear Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship, despite the Constitution spelling it out pretty clearly and Trump threw a fit after pardoned Democrat Henry Cuellar didn't switch parties, accusing him of “disloyalty” and claiming “God was very happy” with his pardon. In other news, the Jan. 5 pipe-bomb suspect is cooperating with the FBI and says he planted them to support Trump, RFK Jr.'s HHS and anti-vax panel voted to end universal Hep B shots at birth, disregarding the risks to infants, and the Netflix–Warner Bros. merger is in trouble, with the Trump administration favoring a sale to Trump-ally-owned Paramount instead.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been meeting with President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff for talks on a possible way to end the deadliest European conflict since World War Two. Just before the meeting, President Putin warned Europe that it would face swift defeat if it went to war with Russia, and he dismissed European counter-proposals on Ukraine as being absolutely unacceptable to Russia. - रुसका राष्ट्रपति भ्लादिमिर पुटिनले अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्पका ज्वाइँ ज्यारेड कुशनर र अमेरिकी विशेष दूत स्टिभ विट्कफसँग युक्रेनमा जारी द्वन्द्व अन्त्यका सम्भावित उपायबारे हालै मस्कोमा वार्ता गरेका थिए। बैठक सुरु हुनु ठिक अगि राष्ट्रपति पुटिनले युरोपलाई चेतावनी दिँदै रुससँग युद्ध भए छिटो पराजय भोग्नुपर्ने बताएका थिए। उनले युक्रेनको विषयमा युरोपेली देशहरूले अगि सारेका वैकल्पिक प्रस्तावहरू रुसका लागि “पूर्ण रूपमा अस्वीकार्य” रहेको पनि जनाएका छन्। एक रिपोर्ट।
Today on the show, tensions between the US and Venezuela are reaching a boiling point, as President Donald Trump warned that US strikes on land targets in Venezuela could come "very soon." Fareed speaks with two former top officials on Venezuela: former US ambassador to Venezuela James Story, and former special representative for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams about what's likely to happen next, and the potential fallout if Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is ousted.Then, US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week about the war in Ukraine for a lengthy five hours session — and in the end, there's still no peace deal. Fareed is joined by Ukrainian journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk for a conversation about what Ukrainians make of the impasse, allegations of corruption in that country, and Witkoff's relationships with the Russians. Finally, the Trump administration intensified its immigration crackdown after last week's attack in Washington that left one National Guard member dead and another critically injured. The shooter was an Afghan national who had worked with the CIA and had come to the US in 2021 through a visa program designed to resettle vulnerable Afghans in the wake of the US withdrawal. Fareed talks with The New York Times' Thomas Gibbons-Neff—a former Kabul bureau chief who had twice deployed to Afghanistan as a US Marine—about the role Afghan allies played in America's war, and the challenges of resettlement.

Newt talks with George Beebe, Director of Grand Strategy at Quincy Institute about the Russia-Ukraine war. They discuss the Tuesday meeting between President Putin, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, focusing on a potential compromise to end the war in Ukraine. George highlights the necessity for both Ukraine and Russia to make concessions, emphasizing Ukraine's need to secure its sovereignty and rebuild, while Russia seeks assurances against perceived threats from NATO and the United States. The ongoing negotiations aim to address both nations' security concerns, with discussions on military limitations and the status of the Donbas region. The potential for nuclear escalation remains a critical concern, with George asserting that Russia views the conflict as existential, which could lead to nuclear options if pushed into a corner. They conclude their conversation by emphasizing the importance of diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation and achieve a sustainable peace.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's Headlines: The House Oversight Committee dropped another batch of photos and videos from Jeffrey Epstein's island, but honestly, this is not a “paint me a picture” situation — Google is your friend. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth's Signalgate drama is heating up: an inspector general report says he put troops at risk, and Rep. Shri Thanedar is already drafting impeachment articles over both that and the whole “blow up random boats” era. Trump surprised literally everyone — including GOP leadership — by pardoning Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, who was awaiting trial for allegedly taking $600k in foreign bribes. And the administration announced a pause on immigration applications from 19 “high-risk” countries, with no timeline for resuming them, while a judge ruled that ICE actually does need warrants to arrest people in DC. Trump also claimed Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff had a “very good” meeting with Putin on a Ukraine peace plan (sure), as European leaders slammed Putin for wasting everyone's time. And in a peak bit of irony, the former U.S. Institute of Peace has now been renamed the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.Finally, the FDA recalled more than 250,000 cases of shredded cheese sold nationwide due to possible metal contamination — a divine sign to stop buying store-brand cheese before it saws your intestines in half.

In 2013, Jared Kushner extended an invitation to Jeffrey Epstein for a Trump family event, a move that looks worse with every passing year and every new revelation. By that point, Epstein wasn't some misunderstood financier or eccentric recluse. He was a convicted sex offender whose crimes were well-documented, widely reported, and inexcusable. Yet somehow, he still made the guest list for an event tied directly to one of the most image-obsessed families in American public life. Kushner's spokesperson later tried to claim that Epstein never attended and that Kushner had never even met him, but the invitation alone exposes a damning level of proximity. It reveals a world where a man like Epstein still had enough social currency to be casually ushered toward the inner orbit of political royalty.What makes this even more infuriating is how aggressively people have tried to memory-hole this detail. Epstein wasn't invited by some random cousin or a clueless PR assistant. He received an invitation linked to the husband of Ivanka Trump—someone who was not only a member of the family but a rising political strategist shaping the future of the Republican Party. Kushner's attempt to distance himself after the fact doesn't erase the paper trail or the undeniable truth that Epstein was still circulating among power brokers long after his conviction. It underscores a much larger pattern: the powerful knew exactly who Epstein was, and they still opened their doors for him. That is what makes the 2013 invitation so damning, and why no amount of post-hoc denial can scrub the stain of it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jared Kushner's company invited Jeffrey Epstein to star-studded NYC party with Trump and Harvey Weinstein | Daily Mail Online
In this week's Gaslit Nation, Andrea and Kyiv-based journalist Terrell Starr discuss how American corporate oligarchs act like authoritarian regimes. It's a lot like Trump, Kushner, and their real estate buddy Steve Witkoff's plan to sell out Ukraine to Russia. Once again we're reminding you that the war against oligarchy here at home is global. Amazon, one of the 37 donors who helped bankroll Trump's illegal and unnecessary ballroom, was exposed in an investigation by Rolling Stone for possibly causing a cancer cluster near one of its data centers in Oregon, an allegation the company denies, because they know, under Kremlin-backed mass-murdering Trump, escalating a war for oil in Venezuela, they will get away with it. This is the same Jeff Bezos who celebrated in the White House with Trump, Kushner, and the Saudis who murdered Washington Post writer and Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi. Democracy doesn't just die in darkness; it dies under cheap gold fixtures and chandeliers. We also discuss why both Trump and Putin need a war in Venezuela to distract from their corruption at home, how oligarch ownership of the press continues to hollow it out, and how much more Americans can take of this abuse and gaslighting. And yet, amid all this lawlessness, democracy defenders around the world are fighting back. Bolsonaro's escape plan got foiled as he faces 27 years in prison, New Yorkers joined other American cities and towns in shutting down Trump's gestapo, and MAGA continue to be punished for voting for him–with a recent poll showing one in four Trump voters are disappointed or regret their vote. Join us for Gaslit Nation's bonus show out Thursday as we debate whether America is ready for a woman president–and how to stop Kushner and Ivanka from winning the MAGA succession war to install Ivanka with the help of their dictator friends.

Today's Headlines: Republican Matt Van Epps narrowly won Tennessee's special election, which is… not exactly a flex for the GOP given the district. Meanwhile, Trump went on a full midnight Truth Social bender — 150 posts of pure nonsense — including a retweet of Kristi Noem calling for a “full travel ban” on basically whoever she feels like. He kept the chaos going at a two-hour Cabinet meeting where he bragged about his cognitive test, nodded off, and let Noem announce immigration crackdowns in Minnesota's Somali community. Pete Hegseth used his time to deny ordering the killing of survivors of U.S. boat strikes and promised more strikes off Venezuela, as a Signalgate review is set to be released. Kash Patel didn't fare much better in the news cycle, a leaked 115-page report from FBI veterans called the bureau under him a fear-soaked disaster run by a guy who once refused to leave a plane until someone found him a properly patched FBI jacket. In more anit-immigration adjacent news, Brooke Rollins is threatening to pause SNAP funds for states refusing to share immigrant data. Sabrina Carpenter, however, wants zero association with ICE after they used her music in a raid montage. And like we all knew would happen, Senate Republicans appear to have abandoned the plan to extend Obamacare subsidies before premiums spike in January (shocking). Finally, billionaire Michael Dell and his wife are tossing $6.25 billion into “Trump accounts” for kids, while Treasury kicks in $1,000 for children born during Trump's term, and Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff spent four hours in the Kremlin with Putin discussing their ever-mutating “peace plan.” Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: NBC News: Tennessee House Special Election 2025 Live Results: Matt Van Epps Wins, NBC News Projects The Independent: Trump goes on late-night social media rant demanding Democrats who spoke out on military justice be jailed NYT: Kristi Noem Recommends New Travel Ban After National Guard Shooting Axios: ICE coming for Minneapolis after Trump targets Somalis CNN: Fact check: Trump delivers long list of false claims at Cabinet meeting Axios: Scoop: Pentagon's internal "Signalgate" review sent to Congress Yahoo: Kash Patel Justifies Jacket Meltdown by Saying He Wanted a Kid's Size Axios: SNAP benefits at risk as states resist Trump immigration data demands AP News: Sabrina Carpenter and Franklin the Turtle publisher condemn Trump administration's use of their work AP News: Chances dwindling for renewal of health care subsidies, risking premium spikes for millions WaPo: Dell CEO pledges $6 billion to ‘Trump accounts' for American children Axios: Witkoff and Kushner met Putin for five hours on Ukraine plan Telegraph: Putin: We're ready for war with Europe Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

His comments come amid reports that the administration is planning to launch an ICE operation in Minnesota to target primarily undocumented Somali migrants.

He added that Russia was ready for a wider war with Europe if that's what they wanted.

Economy Interesting Development – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Announces New Limits on Foreign Steel and Aluminum, With New 25% Tariff on Steel Derivative Components Prime Minister Mark Carney is conceding defeat to President Trump and positioning the Canadian economy to be compliant with U.S-Mexico trade regulations. However, Carney is not saying that, indeed he cannot; he's spent over a year telling Canadians that President Trump's trade and economic demands are not going to be accepted by Canada. However, what he is factually doing is exactly what President Trump has demanded. Prime Minister Carney is saying he is restricting Steel and Aluminum imports from non-free trade agreement countries, and he is lowering the tonnage of Steel and Aluminum that will be permitted for import. His claim is that this approach will help drive up “domestic demand” for Canadian Steel and Aluminum, but that's ancillary to the real objective. President Trump has demanded Canada stop importing cheap steel and aluminum mostly from China; including manufactured component goods that are made with steel and aluminum (think autos). Canada would not stop, because they could not stop. Their manufacturing base, green energy and climate change economy, is more of a component assembly system now. So, President Trump hit Canada with a 35% tariff, and things got ugly. In June Trump raised the tariff to 50%. The back and forth has gone on all year. Carney now announces restrictions on imported steel and aluminum, as well as restrictions on imported derivative goods that come from steel and aluminum, in combination with a spending plan to bolster the Canadian steel and aluminum manufacturing base. This ends up shifting the Canadian industrial sector to making steel and aluminum products without Chinese import dependency.

DOGE Trump White House Unleashes Media Bias Tracker to Crush Fake News Narratives The Trump administration has launched a brand-new “Media Bias Tracker” directly on the White House website. Unveiled on Friday, this tool is designed to call out and document the endless stream of false, misleading, and biased stories peddled by outlets that have spent years attacking President Donald Trump and his agenda. According to the White House, the tracker serves as a “record of the media's false and misleading stories flagged by The White House.” The tracker highlights “offenses” from major news publications, including an “Offender Hall of Shame” and a leaderboard ranking the worst culprits in spreading misinformation. Described as “a race to the bottom,” this feature ranks outlets based on repeat offenses. Topping the Hall of Shame list is The Washington Post, followed by rebranded leftist mouthpieces like MSNBC (now MS NOW), CBS News, CNN, The New York Times, Politico, and The Wall Street Journal. In response to their top spot, a spokesperson for the Washington Post said, “The Washington Post is proud of its accurate, rigorous journalism.” The page also features a “Media Offender of the Week,” currently blasting outlets for exaggerating Trump's calls to hold Democrats accountable for their seditious behavior.

Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies. A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.” Then she turns the knife inward: “These women find their meaning through philanthropic work. I really believed I was helping Black communities and indigenous communities rise up. But now the problems have gotten worse. Crime worse. Mental health worse. The whole model is broken. At the end of the day they always go: ‘But climate change.' Social justice + climate change — it gets progressive women 100% of the time.” She even says many now believe the biggest “climate change issues” are actually geoengineering issues.

Normally, the smart people of Honduras, would reject her, and elect Tito Asfura, but the Communists are trying to trick the people by running a third Candidate, Salvador Nasralla. Nasralla is no friend of Freedom. A borderline Communist, he helped Xiomara Castro by running as her Vice President. He won, and helped Castro win. Then he resigned, and is now pretending to be an anti-Communist only for the purposes of splitting Asfura's vote. The people of Honduras must not be tricked again. The only real friend of Freedom in Honduras is Tito Asfura. Tito and I can work together to fight the Narcocommunists, and bring needed aid to the people of Honduras. I cannot work with Moncada and the Communists, and Nasralla is not a reliable partner for Freedom, and cannot be trusted. I hope the people of Honduras vote for Freedom and Democracy, and elect Tito Asfura, President! potential, of Honduras! Additionally, I will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly.

Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization.

D) out of nowhere, the Seditious Six – which includes one presidential hopeful and one former IC member who had direct involvement in the original attempt to destroy Trump – delivers to social media a “don't give up the ship” video – a public service announcement to all personnel to refuse unlawful orders. *** the video was funded and produced a Soros funded NGO. E) Senator Slotkin, the former CIA ghoul, goes on the news and is very careful to state that she can't identify any unlawful orders that have been given. F) boom, the WaPo delivers the story claiming unlawful orders. G) Friday evening, everyone on the left hits social media – with paid amplification – about the unlawful orders. H) the Sunday shows will be filled with calls for war crimes charges, impeachments, and resignations. All a coincidence, right? None of it was coordinated, right?

Venezuela Issues Statement After President Trump Orders All Aircraft to Avoid Regime-Controlled Airspace In Venezuela's statement, the regime accused the United States of attempting to “intimidate Venezuela” and framed Trump's announcement as an attack on Latin America as a whole. The press release ignored every factual concern raised by U.S. intelligence, including increased military involvement in cocaine transport and the regime's long-standing partnership with the Cartel of the Suns. Today's outburst from the Maduro regime is another example of Venezuela deflecting blame while its role in regional crime expands. Meanwhile, President Trump's position is clear: protect international aviation, disrupt drug networks, and stop allowing a criminal regime to use its airspace as a staging ground.

Who flew the untraceable Gulfstreams full of product and kids out of Maturín and Maiquetía while Biden looked the other way? Same people who ran Iran-Contra, fast-forward 40 years. Trump isn't just closing airspace, he's cutting the oxygen to the deep-state money laundering superhighway that's been funding black sites, color revolutions, and child trafficking networks across the hemisphere.

Many are struggling with discernment, but the strategic reality is simple: Maduro hasn't controlled Venezuela for years. The deep state held the reins. Then the guardians caught him, flipped him and weaponized the façade of control against the deep state. They may publicly acknowledge it; they may bury it. But the aftermath will speak for itself. In the days immediately following his surrender or “death,” watch the information floodgates burst wide open…especially involving U.S. elections. The timing will be surgical. The disclosures will be coordinated. And the narrative collapse will be unmistakable. Zelensky’s Sacked Top Aide ‘Escapes’ To Front-Line To ‘Hide’ From Corruption Investigators Andriy Yermak, the man who until just over 24 hours ago was Zelensky’s right hand man and the president’s top most powerful aid as chief of staff, and Ukraine’s appointed chief negotiator with the US on the peace process, is going to the front lines, apparently to “fight”. After his home and offices were raided by Ukraine’s anti-corruption investigators Friday related to the ongoing massive energy sector kickback scandal, Yermak announced by text message to The New York Post, “I'm going to the front and am prepared for any reprisals.” He followed with, “I am an honest and decent person.” According to the lengthy analysis [emphasis ZH]: Zelensky's fixer, enforcer, gatekeeper, and indispensable ally, isn't a “corruption scandal.” It's Washington slapping the table. NABU, the U.S.-trained attack dog of Ukrainian politics, didn't raid the Presidential Office by accident.It raided to remind Zelensky that the war isn't his to command, the peace process isn't his to veto, and the leash around Bankova Street is held in Washington, not Kiev and certainly not European chihuahuas. Because the real story isn't Yermak's resignation. The real story is the West turning on itself over how to end a war Russia has already won.

Kash Patel says all contents of FBI Trump-Russia burn bags will be made public FBI Director Kash Patel says the contents of the burn bags containing Trump-Russia documents discovered at the FBI building will be made public one way or another. “You're going to see everything we found in that room in one way or another, be it through investigation, public trial, or disclosure to the Congress,” Patel told The Epoch Times in an interview with reporter Jan Jekielek that will air Saturday. The bureau said that the classified information was stashed away in a room at FBI Headquarters and was related to Crossfire Hurricane and also other FBI inquiries into President Donald Trump and his allies. Patel previously said that the FBI had found “several bags” containing evidence related to the Russiagate investigation. One electronic communication made public by the Justice Department in court filings related to the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey earlier this month indicated the FBI began a preliminary investigation into the discovery this summer.

Limiting events. Stage-managing appearances. Reducing his workload. Avoiding interviews. Even recruiting Hollywood directors Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg to help with the State of the Union. They controlled everything, including who could see him. This wasn’t a presidency. It was a production. The 91-page committee report found Biden’s “inner circle” took steps to “meticulously stage-manage” his public appearances, lighten his private workload, and block lawmakers from talking to him directly. Three key aides took the Fifth Amendment when questioned, including White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who refused to answer: “Were you ever told to lie about the president’s health?” Former Chief of Staff Jeff Zients admitted under oath he didn’t even know who operated the autopen that signed approximately 92% of Biden’s documents. Trump has now declared all autopen-signed executive actions “NULL AND VOID” and threatened Biden with perjury charges if he claims he authorized them. The same people who called you a conspiracy theorist for questioning Biden’s fitness were stage-managing his every movement. They knew. They all knew. And they lied to your face for four years.
