SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOCR SHOW, 6-24-2026MEXICO CITYThe Imprisonment of Jimmy Lai and the Future of Hong Kong. Guest: Mark Clifford and Gordon Chang. Jimmy Lai has spent over 2,000 days in prison, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Chinese Communist Party. His fate mirrors that of Hong Kong, which is transforming into a national security state where surveillance and espionage extend to international cities like London. 1US Navy Control and the Opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Rebecca Grant and Gordon Chang. Despite Iranian claims of closure, the US Navy maintains tactical control over the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring sea lanes remain open for international shipping. Advanced mine-clearing technology and persistent patrols have neutralized threats, though economic signals like the Jones Act waiver remain points of discussion. 2Canadian Public Opinion on the Chinese Threat and US Trade. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang. A majority of Canadians perceive China as a threat following revelations of election interference and malign influence operations. Meanwhile, concerns grow regarding the reliability of the United States as a partner under the Trumpadministration and the potential abrogation of the USMCA trade agreement. 3Strengthening Defense Ties Between the Philippines and Canada. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang.Canada is deepening security cooperation with the Philippines to counter Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea. This partnership includes logistical agreements and military training, even as Canada faces challenges protecting its own Arctic sovereignty against increasing Russian and Chinese strategic reach in the North. 4Ukrainian Drone Attacks Cripple Russian Oil Infrastructure. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Cheap Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted Russian refineries and fuel transport, causing significant shortages of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. This technological warfare has forced Russia to ban exports and implement rationing, as traditional air defense systems struggle to counter swarms of small, maneuverable drones. 5Declining Russian Oil Production and the Shadow Fleet. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Russian oil production is falling due to aging fields and a lack of investment, failing to meet OPEC quotas. While Russia utilizes a "shadow fleet" to bypass sanctions, it must offer steep discounts to India and China as Brent crude prices decline and fiscal pressures mount. 6European Heatwave, Commodity Prices, and UK Political Shifts. Guest: Simon Constable. A "Godzilla El Niño" has triggered record-breaking heatwaves across Europe, impacting energy demand and agriculture. Amid falling Brent crude prices, attention shifts to UK politics, where the potential rise of Andy Burnham within the Labour Party signals a move toward higher taxes and increased government spending. 7The Infrastructure and Economic Impact of Data Centers. Guest: Simon Constable. Data centers have become essential infrastructure for AI development, consuming vast amounts of water and electricity. While they provide significant tax revenue for localities, particularly in states like Virginia and Texas, their construction often faces local opposition due to their immense resource requirements and costs. 8Colombia's Presidential Shift Toward Security and Law and Order. Guest: Evan Ellis. Abelardo de la Espriellaappears to have won the Colombian presidency, promising a crackdown on insecurity and organized crime modeled after El Salvador's policies. His victory signals a likely return to strong security cooperation with the United States and a departure from the policies of Gustavo Petro. 9Keiko Fujimori and the Return of the Fujimori Dynasty. Guest: Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori has likely secured the Peruvian presidency, narrowly defeating her socialist opponent through overseas votes. Her administration faces a deeply divided nation, widespread illegal mining, and cocaine production, but may benefit from a new bicameral Congress intended to provide greater political stability than previous years. 10Political Instability in Bolivia and Regional Alliances. Guest: Evan Ellis. President Rodrigo Paz has survived a 50-day crisis in Bolivia after declaring a state of emergency to clear blockades led by Evo Morales. While regional allies have supported Paz, Brazil's absence from this coalition highlights President Lula's role as a principal counterweight to US influence. 11Mexico's Economic Growth and USMCA Renegotiation Tensions. Guest: Evan Ellis. The Mexican economy saw its sharpest expansion in five years, yet the upcoming USMCA renegotiation creates significant uncertainty. While Mexicoattempts to appease the US through high-level investigations into cartel-linked officials, the Sheinbaum government remains hesitant to fully confront powerful political figures within its own party. 12Pope Leo XIV's Warning on Artificial Intelligence. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. In a 43,000-word encyclical, Pope Leo XIV warns that artificial intelligence risks dehumanizing society and excluding God from the human experience. While acknowledging technological benefits, the Pope emphasizes the danger of treating humans as mere means and the erosion of authentic human relationships in favor of machines. 13AI in Education and the Necessity of Liberal Learning. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. The rise of AI in academia tempts students to bypass the essential struggle of thinking, leading to intellectual atrophy. Educators argue that liberal education is now more vital than ever to help students cultivate a flourishing mind and recognize the limitations of technological shortcuts. 14Private Innovation and Infrastructure Challenges in Space. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. SpaceX successfully defeated legal challenges in Texas while NASA's aging infrastructure faces funding gaps and restrictive laws. Meanwhile, private startups like Catalyst are attempting robotic satellite rescues, signaling a shift toward a capitalist model in space operations as government agencies struggle with delays and inefficiencies. 15New Discoveries in Planetary Science and Cosmology. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The Lucy probe's flyby of asteroid Donaldjohanson revealed a "tumbling peanut" shape, providing insights into its 155-million-year history. Additionally, observations of asymmetric radio galaxies highlight galactic movement through the intergalactic medium, while debates continue among cosmologists regarding the existence and properties of dark energy. 16One correction folded in: Labour Party (UK spelling) in file 7. I also expanded the file 9 headline's "Law Order" to "Law and Order" — flag if you wanted it left verbatim.

Convidados: Danilo Alves, editor da GloboNews Internacional e enviado especial para a cobertura das eleições no Peru e na Colômbia; e Maurício Santoro, doutor em Ciência Política pelo Iuperj (Instituto Universitário de Pesquisas do Rio de Janeiro) e colaborador do Centro de Estudos Político-Estratégicos da Marinha do Brasil. Os resultados ainda não são oficiais, mas as apurações dos votos na Colômbia e no Peru indicam que os dois países elegeram presidentes de direita. A eleição peruana foi realizada em 7 de junho e está com 99,7% dos votos contabilizados: Keiko Fujimori tem cerca de 40 mil votos de vantagem sobre o candidato de esquerda, Roberto Sánchez. Keiko é filha de Alberto Fujimori, ditador peruano que governou o país entre 1990 e 2000 e que foi condenado por corrupção e crimes contra a humanidade. Na Colômbia, os eleitores foram às urnas neste domingo (21) e elegeram o empresário Abelardo de la Espriella, de acordo com a contagem preliminar: são menos de 250 mil votos sobre Iván Cepeda, senador e candidato que tem o apoio do atual presidente Gustavo Petro. Abelardo fez campanha baseado nos discursos "anti-establishment" e “linha-dura” contra o crime, inspirado no presidente de El Salvador Nayib Bukele. O resultado nas urnas reforça a tendência das últimas eleições sul-americanas, que elegeram candidatos do campo conservador. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery tem dois convidados. Primeiro, ela fala com Danilo Alves, correspondente da GloboNews que foi a Lima e está em Bogotá, sobre o resultado das eleições. Depois, Natuza entrevista o cientista político Maurício Santoro sobre o movimento de direita que se forma no continente e a influência de Donald Trump nesse processo histórico.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta terça-feira (23): As pré-campanhas de Tarcísio de Freitas e Fernando Haddad já recalculam seus cenários após as desistências de Kim Kataguiri e Paulo Serra na disputa pelo governo de São Paulo. Levantamentos internos indicam que os votos de Kim tendem a migrar integralmente para Tarcísio, enquanto o eleitorado de Paulo Serra deve se dividir entre os dois principais pré-candidatos. O movimento reforça a expectativa de aliados do governador por uma possível vitória ainda no primeiro turno. As denúncias de violência digital contra mulheres cresceram 188,6% nos cinco primeiros meses de 2026, segundo o Ministério das Mulheres. O ambiente virtual passou a ocupar a quinta posição entre os locais com mais registros de violência contra a mulher no país, evidenciando o avanço desse tipo de crime. O ministro Alexandre de Moraes pediu ao presidente do STF, Edson Fachin, que decida sobre a relatoria de uma notícia-crime relacionada ao filme “Dark Horse”, ao Banco Master e à atuação internacional de Eduardo Bolsonaro. A Procuradoria-Geral da República defendeu que o caso seja redistribuído ao ministro André Mendonça, que já conduz processo ligado à Operação Compliance Zero. A Procuradoria-Geral Eleitoral se manifestou pela rejeição da ação do PL contra uma pesquisa da AtlasIntel sobre os impactos do caso Banco Master na imagem de Flávio Bolsonaro. O órgão afirmou não ter identificado irregularidades no levantamento e defendeu atuação excepcional da Justiça Eleitoral em questionamentos sobre metodologias de pesquisa. O Irã declarou que pretende assumir a gestão direta do Estreito de Ormuz durante as negociações de paz com os Estados Unidos. Segundo autoridades iranianas, as regras internacionais serão respeitadas, mas o controle da rota estratégica não retornará ao modelo anterior ao conflito. O Conselho Nacional de Justiça deve analisar mudanças nas punições aplicadas a magistrados por faltas graves. A proposta prevê o fim da aposentadoria compulsória como sanção e endurece as regras para a pena de disponibilidade, buscando atualizar os mecanismos disciplinares do Judiciário. O ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro presta depoimento à Polícia Civil do Distrito Federal em investigação sobre a apreensão de uma arma registrada em seu nome. A oitiva ocorrerá em sua residência, por determinação do ministro Alexandre de Moraes, com acompanhamento da defesa. No Peru, o candidato Roberto Sánchez pediu a anulação dos votos de eleitores residentes no exterior durante o segundo turno presidencial. O pedido ocorre em meio a uma disputa apertada contra Keiko Fujimori, que aparece à frente na apuração oficial. O presidente da Colômbia, Gustavo Petro, solicitou investigação sobre uma suposta fraude nas eleições presidenciais. O pedido foi feito após a pré-contagem indicar vitória do oposicionista Abelardo de la Espriella, enquanto os resultados seguem em processo de validação. Após ser alvo de operação da Polícia Federal, o senador Jaques Wagner busca apoio político e recorreu ao Supremo Tribunal Federal para tentar anular a ação. A estratégia combina articulação entre aliados e medidas jurídicas para conter os impactos do caso. O senador Flávio Bolsonaro se inscreveu para participar de uma audiência da Comissão de Comércio Internacional dos Estados Unidos sobre um possível aumento de tarifas contra produtos brasileiros.

A Progressive Compact for America

Ralph welcomes political consultant and pollster, Celinda Lake, to outline a ten-point Progressive Contract for America that she and Ralph believe – if adopted by Democratic candidates— will ensure they landslide the Republicans in the midterms. Then, Ben Cohen stops by to fill us in on his “Free Ben & Jerry!” campaign to take back the brand from the conglomerate that no longer retains the social justice values of their original company. Plus, Marine Corp veteran, Matthew Hoh, tells us about the provocative speech he made on Veterans Day entitled “Armistice Day and the Empire.”Celinda Lake is a political strategist and president of Lake Research Partners. She and her firm are known for cutting-edge research on issues including the economy, health care, the environment and education, and have worked for a number of institutions including the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Governor's Association, AFL-CIO, SEIU, CWA, Sierra Club, NARAL, Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood, VoteVets Action Fund, and the Kaiser Family Foundation. Her international work has included work in Liberia, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus Ukraine, South Africa, and Central America.I think [a Compact for America] is a really, really, really important idea, and it's absolutely essential to winning…And it should include concrete economic proposals. And it is noticeable that the two people who won governorships in 2025—Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill—both had contracts with their voters.Celinda LakeDemocrats need to lay out ten concrete proposals and run on them. We have the critique of what's going on. We understand what's happening in real people's lives. The third leg of the stool is offering our alternative—and a concrete alternative that people can pass on to their friends and family, that people can hold us accountable for. And the last of the ten proposals in the contract needs to be something about campaign finance reform. We have to get corporate money out of politics, or our system will continue to be rigged against us and rotting from the middle.Celinda LakeBen Cohen is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and longtime anti-war activist. He is a co-founder of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry's and a prominent supporter of progressive causes. He is co-founder of Up In Arms, a public education and advocacy campaign pushing for a common-sense approach to military budgeting.What's happened is that the company recently got owned by the Magnum Corporation, and the Magnum Corporation has disbanded that independent board of directors. I mean, it's kind of a crazy, stupid move because it's under that independent board (which has legal authority over the social mission and the quality of the product and the use of the trademark) it's under that independent board that the company has grown and done so well. But they've gotten rid of the independent board.Ben CohenWhen Ben & Jerry's was in the midst of trying to fend off this acquisition, there were some new laws that were passed in Vermont that allowed a consideration of the benefit of the community with regard to a potential sale. And after the sale happened, B Corporation started. And I've talked with the founder of B Corp, and he was saying that one of the inspirations for starting B Corporations was what happened to Ben & Jerry's. So B Corporations are a different legal structure for corporations which requires them to take into account the social benefit to the community and legally makes it easier to resist these efforts to have the company taken over.Ben CohenMatthew Hoh is a disabled Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War and former Afghan War State Department Officer. In 2009, after being appointed to the Foreign Service, Hoh resigned his post in Afghanistan over the Obama administration's escalation of the Afghan War. He is now an analyst and commentator on foreign and military policy issues as a senior fellow with the Eisenhower Media Network. He serves on the advisory boards of many peace organizations, including Veterans for Peace and World Beyond War, and is an associate member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.The United States recognized Armistice Day as a holiday until after the Second World War. And then in the height of the Cold War in the early 1950s, this idea of a holiday dedicated to peace, a holiday dedicated to the abrogation of warfare, a holiday that exposed just how false the motives for war are—oh that was incredibly troublesome. That was very problematic for the American empire (again, at the height of the Cold War). So there was this campaign to rename Armistice Day to Veterans Day. And this way, it became not a remembrance of the horrors of war, of what war entailed, of who profited from war. But rather a celebration of American veterans, that they have won freedoms, they have protected us from overseas enemies—and utilizing veterans, then, as a tool to crush dissent, to silence opposition.Matthew HohClick here to sign up to get a copy of Matthew Hoh's "Armistice Day and the Empire”News 6/19/26* Our top stories this week are about major local progressive victories. Here in Washington, DC Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George – endorsed by a broad coalition of groups including the Metro DC DSA, the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club and many more – has triumphed in the Mayoral primary. Lewis George trounced her centrist opponent, Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, who was backed both by major local corporate interests, such as the realtor lobby and even the Washington Parking Association, but also Democratic Party power brokers, including two former DNC Chairs. Lewis George, hailed as DC's answer to Zohran Mamdani, won over 50% of the vote in the first round, meaning that while this is DC's first mayoral election under ranked-choice voting, this race will not trigger this mechanism. McDuffie, for his part, won around 36% of the vote, coming ahead of Lewis George only in Ward 3, the wealthiest in the District. While votes remain to be counted, McDuffie has conceded.* Another DSA-backed candidate is poised to win a seat on the DC council. In Ward 1, Aparna Raj appears to have come up just short of 50% but while this means the race will go to a second round of ranked-choice reallocation, given that Raj is more than 25 points ahead of her nearest opponent, her victory is all but guaranteed. This is based upon data from the DC Board of Elections. Raj's impending victory, paired with that of Janeese Lewis George and others like Oye Owolewa demonstrates that the DC DSA is an electoral force to be reckoned with.* In more progressive electoral news, Semafor reports Bernie Sanders has endorsed former Congresswoman Cori Bush in her “comeback” bid for her old seat. Bush, a nurse and Black Lives Matter activist, was a member of the “Squad” in the House before she was defeated by a primary challenge from the right, backed in large part by AIPAC money. With the Republican redistricting in her home state of Missouri, this seat is now the sole remaining safe Democratic seat in the Show-Me State. In a statement, Bush said she was “honored to be endorsed” by Sanders, whom she called a “true leader in our movement to guarantee healthcare, housing, and childcare for all.”* Another much-publicized Bernie endorsement was announced this week: that of Tennessee state Rep. Justin J. Pearson. Pearson was originally running as a primary challenger against longtime incumbent Congressman Steve Cohen in Tennessee's 9th congressional district, but since the state Republicans redrew the districts Cohen has decided to retire, leaving the Democratic nomination to Pearson for the taking. While this district has been drawn in such a way to make it difficult for a Democrat to win, Pearson argues that “You've got a number of disaffected Republican voters, you've got a number of distraught MAGA voters, and you've got fired-up Democrats, which is a perfect recipe for success for us…Because our tent is big enough for everybody who is feeling that this status quo was rigged and broken against working-class folk, and want to see a future that is more just,” per the Intercept.* Elsewhere in the South, the race in Florida's 20th congressional district is descending into chaos. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the powerful centrist Democratic congresswoman who was drawn out of her traditional seat by the recent Republican-led redistricting is now officially running in this district, a move that “disappointed” Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried, according to the Miami Herald. Fried further stated that Wasserman Schultz “[refused] to engage in meaningful dialogue about her decision.” Elijah Manley, the progressive candidate in this race, had harsher words for DWS. In a quote reported by Florida Politics, Manley stated “I'm not surprised that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is carpetbagging to FL-20, a black opportunity district, abandoning her own district and constituents…She is no different than the Republicans that are eviscerating black representation across the South. She is everything that's wrong with the broken unpopular Democratic establishment…I look forward to retiring her from public office permanently.”* Facing down the barrel of this decision, several of the Black candidates running in the 20th convened to discuss a plan to consolidate in order to ensure the district would continue to be represented by a Black member of Congress, as it has been for the past 34 years. However, CBS reports that plan has “fallen apart” as the filing deadline passed with none of the major Black candidates bowing out. This report includes statements from Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who, the piece notes, resigned from this very seat in disgrace earlier this year amid a congressional ethics investigation, saying she is “excited to campaign in the district I have represented for the last 5 years.” Dale Holness, the former Mayor of Broward County, said, “It has to be about policies that produce prosperity for the people.” Elijah Manley, said “I think it's going to come down to who works the hardest, and I think I'm going to work the hardest.” To this end, Manley has recently racked up major progressive endorsements in Florida, including Armando Grundy-Gomes, President of the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida, the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, through President Matthew Grocholske, and Black Voters Matter lead Florida organizer Jamil Davis. According to the most recent polling, Manley lags behind Wasserman Schultz 21% to 39% in initial ballot testing, but blitzes into the lead 36% to 27% after voters receive candidate biographical information, per Florida Politics.* Another major political story from Florida is the comeback bid of former Congressman Alan Grayson. Grayson, who won a House seat in 2008, lost it in the Tea Party wave of 2010, won another seat, ran unsuccessfully for Senate, and then sought a comeback in 2018 is running in Florida's 7th congressional district, AOL reports. Grayson, known during his time in Congress for his “combative style and frequent clashes with Republicans,” is seeking to unseat scandal-plagued incumbent Republican Congressman Cory Mills. As this piece notes, Mills has “faced allegations ranging from sextortion claims made by a former girlfriend to accusations that he embellished aspects of his military record,” as well as what appears to be clear instances of corruption, such as driving government contracts to entities he owned. However, before these two have any chance of facing off against one another, both will have to get through his own party's primary.* Looking to Latin America, the outgoing President of Colombia Gustavo Petro, has published a fascinating op-ed in the Washington Post. In this piece, President Petro emphasizes how his government – considered one of the most opposed to American intervention in the region – has cooperated with the United States on shared objectives including stopping the “deadly flow of drug trafficking and transnational criminal violence.” Throughout the op-ed, Petro goes to great lengths to talk up Trump and how they have collaborated on mutual goals, even ending the piece by writing that “with continued U.S.-Colombia partnership, we can truly make the Americas great again.” This apparent about face from Petro, culminating in an obsequious appeal to Trump's favor, has led many to speculate about Petro's motivations here, including fear for his own safety, possible persecution within the American legal system or intervention in Colombia if his designated successor Ivan Cepeda ultimately wins the Colombian runoff presidential election this month. Whether or not this stratagem will work remains to be seen, but with Trump, flattery can get you everywhere.* In neighboring Peru, votes continue to be counted in the razor's edge race between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez. The votes for the election, held on June 7th, are almost completely counted now – the tally stands at 99.38% – and at the moment Fujimori leads by around 39,000 votes. However, around 140,000 votes have been formally challenged, with 60% of those coming from Fujimori strongholds like Lima as well as Peruvians abroad. This from Reuters. Peru's political system has been wracked by instability, with the country going through nine presidents in the last ten years. Another painstakingly close election is unlikely to restore stability no matter who comes out on top.* Finally, we turn to the Middle East, where it seems the numerous parties involved in the latest round of peace talks may have finally reached a deal. According to Al Jazeera, in addition to the US-Iran agreement, rooted in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which includes financial concessions to the Islamic Republic, Israel and Hezbollah are pursuing a ceasefire in Lebanon. However, Israel's notoriously loose interpretation of ceasefire agreements jeopardizes both this deal and MOU. Journalist and expert Rania Khalek states simply that “From Iran's perspective, continued Israeli strikes would be a violation of that understanding.” Vice President JD Vance, who has been intimately involved in these negotiations, expressed a sharp warning to Israel not to jeopardize the deal and risk alienating Trump, their “only ally” left.

Xavier Milei en Argentine, Daniel Noboa en Équateur, José Antonio Kast au Chili, Nayib Bukele au Salvador, Jair Bolsonaro au Brésil : ces cinq leaders latino-américains ont porté ou portent un projet de droite radicale ou dure, un mouvement qui ne semble pas s'arrêter. Au Pérou, la candidate de la droite réactionnaire Keiko Fujimori est aux portes du pouvoir. A l'heure de l'enregistrement de ce podcast et une semaine après le second tour de l'élection présidentielle, elle devançait de quelques milliers de voix seulement le candidat de gauche Roberto Sánchez. Et en Colombie, c'est encore un candidat de droite dure qui était donné favori pour le second tour de l'élection présidentielle du 21 juin, Abelardo de la Espriella. Qu'ils soient libertariens comme Milei, xénophobes comme Kast, ou partisans d'un maintien de l'ordre radical comme Bukele, ces nouveaux leaders parfois excentriques séduisent des électeurs à la recherche de solutions nouvelles contre des problèmes endémiques : le trafic de drogue, les gangs, des économies fragiles.

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-18-26.1922Colombia's Presidential Election and Abel de la Espriella. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses the upcoming Colombian election and frontrunner Abel de la Espriella. As a lawyer with multiple passports, de la Espriella positions himself as a disruptor similar to Donald Trump or Javier Milei. He advocates for building mega-prisons to confront gangs and reviving the hydrocarbon industry. 1Poverty and Economic Stagnation in Developing Nations. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. Veronique de Rugy examines why countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo remain in extreme poverty. She identifies institutional failures, such as a lack of property rights and predatory governments, as the primary causes of stagnation. Growth, she argues, is the only sufficient element to lift people out of poverty. 2Advancements in Small Satellite Propulsion. Guests: Paulo Lozano and Amelia "Mia" Bruno. Paulo Lozano and Mia Bruno introduce electro-spray thrusters utilizing green ionic liquid monopropellant for small satellites. This technology allows a single tank to fuel both efficient electric and high-thrust chemical maneuvers. Unlike toxic hydrazine, this fuel is safe and allows satellites greater mobility for Earth observation. 3Future Missions for Miniaturized Space Technology. Guests: Paulo Lozano and Amelia "Mia" Bruno. With an unlimited budget, Paulo Lozano envisions a fleet of autonomous small satellites exploring near-Earth asteroids for scientific value. Mia Bruno aims to use improved propulsion to reach the moons of Jupiter and Saturn much faster than current missions allow. They also discuss performing complex orbital plane changes using chemical maneuvers. 4The Normalization of Crisis in Bolivia. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Professor Evan Ellis reports on the 49-day blockade in Bolivia that is strangling the economy under President Rodrigo Paz. Driven by Evo Morales and indigenous groups, the protests have caused significant GDP shrinkage and business closures. Despite being resource-rich, the country faces a fiscal crisis as natural gas reserves dwindle. 5Security Challenges in Colombia and Political Transitions in Peru. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Evan Ellis discusses the ELN's influence in Colombia, noting that armed group activity has doubled since the 2016 peace agreement. He suggests that restoring security and government presence is vital for the middle class. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori holds a thin lead in a contested election supported by the diaspora. 6The Criminal Landscape in Venezuela and Regional Politics. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Ellis details the rise and fall of the Tren de Aragua gang, which originated in Venezuelan prisons and spread across the Americas. A recent drone strike suggests potential cooperation between the U.S. and the Venezuelan regime to normalize the mining sector. Meanwhile, Brazil's Lula da Silva faces increasing regional isolation. 7Bukele's Security Transformation of El Salvador. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Professor Evan Ellis describes how President Nayib Bukele has dramatically improved security in El Salvador by imprisoning over 90,000 suspected gang members. This "Singapore-like" approach has revitalized commerce and public administration despite concerns over democratic erosion. The capital, San Salvador, now features new construction and increased safety. 8Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Roots of Transcendentalism. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Bruce Nichols discusses Ralph Waldo Emerson's return to Concord, Massachusetts, where he transitioned from a Unitarian minister to a public intellectual. Emerson became a "loadstone" for radicals like Henry David Thoreau, who initially improved his family's pencil business before focusing on nature and philosophy. Emerson's dissent sparked a broader intellectual movement. 9Amos Bronson Alcott and the Transcendentalist Identity. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Bruce Nichols introduces Amos Bronson Alcott, a self-educated thinker who revolutionized education through conversational, Socratic methods. Though his schools often failed financially, Alcott was supported by Emerson and became a key figure in the Transcendentalist movement. Transcendentalism emphasized finding higher spiritual truths or the "oversoul" within the universe. 10Nathaniel Hawthorne and the Literary Circle of Concord. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Bruce Nichols explores Nathaniel Hawthorne's move to Concord and his complex relationship with Transcendentalists like Emerson. Unlike the optimistic Emerson, Hawthorne's fiction focused on human tragedy and the presence of evil. He struggled financially, often competing with popular "scribbling women" for book sales while publishing short stories to make ends meet. 11The Extraordinary Life and Tragic Death of Margaret Fuller. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Bruce Nichols chronicles the life of Margaret Fuller, a pioneering feminist and journalist who served as the first female war correspondent. Fuller's intellectual prowess "wowed" Emerson, though her life ended tragically in a shipwreck off Fire Island. Some scholars believe Hawthorne modeled his character Hester Prynne after her. 12Japan's Energy Crisis and Economic Resilience. Guest: Lance Gatling. Lance Gatling discusses how the Strait of Hormuz crisis has driven Japanese crude oil import prices to record highs. To maintain stability, the government has tapped strategic reserves and subsidized fuel prices while increasing imports from the U.S. Despite the weak yen, Japanese exporters are booming, and the stock market has reached all-time highs. 13Japan's Future in Energy and Artificial Intelligence. Guest: Lance Gatling. Japan is working toward a goal of 40–50% renewable energy and 20% nuclear power by the mid-2030s. Lance Gatling notes that Japan remains a critical link in the semiconductor chain essential for the global AI boom. While circumspect about AI's authority, Japanese companies dominate the hardware manufacturing processes necessary for semiconductor production. 14The Moral Foundations of the American Revolution. Guest: David C. Rose. David C. Rose explains that the American Revolution was driven by men who considered themselves "independents" rather than rebels. Drawing on Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments, he argues that humans crave approval and follow cultural norms. Over time, these norms shifted toward "moral don'ts" or guardrails, fostering a freethinking mindset. 15Guardrails and the Psychology of Independence. Guest: David C. Rose. David Rose argues that the Revolution occurred because the British King violated the "guardrails" of his own power, losing the respect of his subjects. While tax issues were prominent in Boston, a more generalized feeling of disenfranchisement fueled the movement. The Founders ultimately chose independence when the reciprocity of decency and legitimacy failed. 16

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur le projet du chemin de fer reliant le Cameroun au Tchad, le sort des avoirs gelés iraniens après l'accord et la présidentielle au Pérou. Mondial 2026 : Hervé Renard peut-il sauver les Aigles de Carthage ?   Coup de tonnerre dans le camp tunisien en pleine Coupe du monde 2026 ! Après la lourde défaite face à la Suède (5-1), la Fédération tunisienne a décidé de se séparer de son sélectionneur, Sabri Lamouchi. Pour le remplacer, elle a fait appel à une figure bien connue du football africain : Hervé Renard. Arrivé en urgence au Mexique, le technicien français prend immédiatement les commandes des Aigles de Carthage avec une mission claire : relancer l'équipe dans la compétition. Pourquoi ce choix ? Hervé Renard peut-il provoquer l'électrochoc attendu et changer le destin de la Tunisie dans ce Mondial ? Avec Cédric de Oliveira, journaliste au service des sports de RFI.   Cameroun-Tchad : qui aura le dernier mot sur le tracé du chemin de fer ?    Après plus d'une année de réflexion, le président Paul Biya a finalement arrêté son choix concernant le tracé de la future ligne ferroviaire destinée à relier le Cameroun au Tchad. Trois itinéraires étaient sur la table : un corridor central, un corridor oriental et un corridor occidental. C'est finalement cette dernière option qui a été retenue par Yaoundé. Le chemin de fer partirait de Ngaoundéré, traverserait Garoua, Maroua et Kousséri, avant d'arriver à N'Djamena. Mais côté tchadien, ce tracé suscite de nombreuses réserves. Pourquoi N'Djamena s'oppose-t-elle à cette option ? Comment les deux pays peuvent-ils trouver un terrain d'entente pour concrétiser ce projet stratégique pour le développement régional ?   Avec Polycarpe Essomba, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI.     Accord Iran/États-Unis : les avoirs iraniens gelés seront-ils bientôt débloqués ?   C'était l'un des principaux points de blocage des négociations entre Téhéran et Washington. Mais un accord semble se dessiner. Selon le porte-parole de la diplomatie iranienne, Esmaïl Baghaï, les États-Unis auraient accepté de débloquer les avoirs iraniens gelés à l'étranger. Le responsable iranien a même rappelé que la restitution de ces fonds, ainsi que des compensations pour les dommages subis, constituaient deux exigences essentielles. Mais de combien d'argent parle-t-on exactement ? Pourquoi ces fonds sont-ils si stratégiques pour l'économie iranienne ? Donald Trump ira-t-il réellement jusqu'au bout de cet engagement ?  Avec Guillaume Naudin, présentateur de la chronique « La fabrique du monde » sur RFI.     Pérou : vers un recomptage de tous les bulletins de la présidentielle ?   35 000 voix seulement séparent les deux candidats sur les 19 millions de bulletins dépouillés. 10 jours après le second tour de la présidentielle, plus de 99% de votes ont été comptabilisés et l'écart reste infime entre la candidate de droite Keiko Fujimori et le candidat de gauche Roberto Sanchez. Alors que le suspense demeure total, Roberto Sanchez réclame le recomptage de l'ensemble des bulletins. Pourquoi demander un nouveau décompte alors que le dépouillement n'est pas encore totalement  terminé ? Quels sont les enjeux derrière ce bras-de-fer politique ? Avec Lissell Quiroz, historienne et professeure en études latino-américaines à Cergy Paris Université.

SCHEDULE JBS, 6-15-20262006 MOLDOVABill Roggio discusses a rumored memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran. Roggio expresses skepticism, noting that while the Strait of Hormuz may reopen, the deal fails to address Iran's nuclear program or its support for regional proxies like Hezbollah. (1)Bill Roggio highlights that the ceasefire is a return to the status quo from February. He argues that the military was restrained from finishing the job and doubts the Iranian people's willingness to overthrow the regime. Meanwhile, Hezbollah remains active in southern Lebanon. (2)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa report that in Peru, Keiko Fujimori leads the presidential race, signaling a "blue wave" against narco-socialism. This shift reinforces regional efforts like the Shield of the Americas. Meanwhile, Bolivia faces a "slow-motion coup" by narco-terrorists, which Brazilian President Lula da Silva has largely ignored. (3)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa describe how U.S. forces killed drug lord "El Niño Guerrero" with a drone strike inside Venezuela, signaling a transition and military cooperation against the Tren de Aragua cartel. This action pressures regional leaders and criminal gangs, potentially leading to pro-democratic elections and increased American investment. (4)Bill Roggio warns that Sunni jihadists remain a background threat while the West focuses on Iran. Groups like al-Qaedaand ISIS are gaining ground in Africa and Afghanistan, aiming to establish emirates. Pakistan also faces instability as the Taliban provides safe havens for militants. (5)Ahmad Sharawi discusses President Trump's suggestion of using the Syrian army to conduct strikes against Hezbollahin eastern Lebanon. This "creative solution" aims to disarm the proxy without using the IDF. However, experts warn this could cause a "rally around the flag" effect and increase sectarian tensions. (6)Piero Tozzi and Gordon Chang discuss KMT official Jen Wen, who visited the U.S. to bolster her credentials but faced criticism for meeting individuals linked to the Communist Party. The visit highlighted debates over drone supply chains, as the U.S. encourages "non-red" technology to counter Chinese influence. (7)Fraser Howie and Gordon Chang describe the Iran deal as a "repackaging of failure" and a humiliation for America. Markets are experiencing a relief rally due to AI and stabilizing oil prices, but fail to price in geopolitical damage. Allies now view the U.S. as an unreliable partner. (8)John Hardie reports that Russia launched a massive barrage of 70 missiles and 600 drones against Kyiv, damaging a historic monastery. Simultaneously, Ukraine is conducting a "logistics lockdown" campaign to isolate Crimea by striking fuel convoys and bridges. Despite Russian gains near Kostiantynivka, Ukraine's manpower reforms are improving battlefield stability. (9)John Hardie notes that Jared Kushner and U.S. envoys have frequently visited Moscow to negotiate an end to the Ukraine conflict. Putin uses phone calls to flatter Trump and promote the idea that Russia is dominating the battlefield. The administration pressures Ukraine to concede Donbas, despite the military defense holding. (10)David Daoud explains that reports of an upcoming memo of understanding between the U.S. and Iran are contradicted by Israel's refusal to leave Lebanon. Iran aims to save Hezbollah, its most critical asset, while the U.S. seeks a modus vivendi with the regime at almost any cost. (11)David Daoud describes a ceasefire deal requiring Hezbollah to withdraw north of the Litani River as "magical thinking" since the fighters are locals. While the IDF faces manpower limitations, Washington continues to pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu to accept a withdrawal regardless of Israeli security concerns. (12)Bridget Toomey notes that despite the U.S.-Iran memo of understanding, the Houthis remain a threat, recently firing a drone at Eilat. The group maintains autonomy and does not feel bound by ceasefires. They continue to ban Israelimaritime navigation in the Red Sea, aiming for economic and psychological damage. (13)Samuel Ben-Ur explains that the IDF controls 64% of Gaza, but Hamas remains in control of the remaining civilian population through torture and executions. The group refuses to disarm, as their existence is predicated on destroying Israel. Despite the elimination of top leaders, the organization's decentralized structure allows survival. (14)Edmund Fitton-Brown explains that a memorandum of understanding is expected to be signed in Geneva, focusing on freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The deal includes a 60-day ceasefire but leaves critical issues like the nuclear file for later. Skeptics warn of secret annexes and deceptive Iranian propaganda. (15)Edmund Fitton-Brown notes that Russia and China view a ceasefire as beneficial for weakening U.S. influence and entrenching Iranian power. Experts argue the Islamic Republic will never negotiate away its revolutionary pillars, including its militias and nuclear shield. The deal provides a rest period for Iran to rearm for future assaults.

Ralph talks to journalist and M.Div. Chris Hedges about Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence. Then, Ralph speaks with Rick Engler (former member of the US Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigation Board) about Trump's proposed closing of that agency. Finally, Ralph pays tribute to some recently departed friends.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.I think that Pope Leo kind of missed the point of AI. In that he describes that it could be a positive force for Catholic education (these are his words), compassionate health care, creative platforms that tell the Christian story with truth and beauty. I think those were all indications to me that he didn't quite understand what AI is about. It's not about education, it's not about compassion, it's not about truth, and it's not about beauty. It is a very pernicious force that will go beyond, of course, replacing all sorts of labor, but creating a world where fact and fiction are blurred together.Chris HedgesI think that mass organization is kind of all we have left as we barrel towards an authoritarian state. Congress doesn't function, certainly doesn't function as Congress was designed to function. They have surrendered their traditional constitutional authority, including, of course, the call for Congress to declare war. And this kind of unitary executive branch—this was put into place, by the way, before Trump. He's just taken advantage of it…And I think that it's absolutely fundamental that we recapture that kind of militancy, that kind of organized workforce that has traditionally throughout our history been such an important corrective to democracy—along with, of course, journalism.Chris HedgesRick Engler is a former U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board member and labor advocate who founded the New Jersey Work Environment Council. He has advocated for successful landmark state and national public policies that ensure workers and the public's “right to know” about potential chemical dangers, and that promote safer processes, chemical incident prevention, and whistleblower protection.The CSB is unique. I mean, nobody would think of abolishing the National Transportation Safety Board. And no one should think about abolishing the Chemical Safety Board, which does the same thing. It's not about issuing, in this case, fines or violations. It's about trying to understand the underlying causes of what led to these incidents.Rick Engler[Trump's allies] have a certain religious fervor about this. When I talk to plant managers, the plant managers of the corporations are much more careful and nuanced in most cases. They don't want their own plants to explode. But somewhere at the higher corporate levels, I think they're just willing to take the risks that the tradeoff for them is: Trump is supporting them in so many ways, why interfere? Why become part of some nuanced opposition to the most extreme EPA attacks? But I do think the elimination of the CSB is driven by the Trump administration in a way that wouldn't be happening if it was just left to the chemical industry trade associations alone. I'm not sure that's an adequate answer. I'm actually kind of puzzled by it. Because it's also really clear that if there was any one major incident, it would cost so much money—not only in the human tragedy of the lives lost and neighbors harmed and evacuations and shelter-in-place and property damage, but these incidents destroy facilities.Rick EnglerNews 6/12/26* Our top stories this week come to us from California, where, after an excruciatingly protracted wait, authorities have finally called some of the most high-profile races. In Los Angeles, Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has secured the second slot in the mayoral race, beating out reactionary former reality television star Spencer Pratt, PBS reports. Pratt garnered significant attention from conservative media for his slick AI-generated ads and his false claims about living in an airstream trailer after his LA home burned down in the recent fires. In actuality, he was living in the posh Bel Air hotel, billed as a campaign expense, per TMZ. Now the question becomes whether or not Raman will be able to expand her coalition to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.* If Raman's victory is the good news however, the bad news is that Trump-endorsed Republican Steve Hilton will advance in the gubernatorial race. He will face off against former California Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, who has accepted large campaign contributions from the California Association of Realtors, the California Medical Association and even Chevron, per CalMatters. This outcome means progressive billionaire Tom Steyer will not advance. Many are placing the blame for this on former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who remained in the race despite clearly failing to achieve any real viability throughout the race. This has drawn comparisons to Elizabeth Warren's perceived role as a spoiler candidate vis-a-vis Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Primary, particularly since Porter is a highly visible protégé of Senator Warren. In his concession speech, Steyer closed by telling his supporters “Pay attention. Know what you deserve, and know who is on your side. Understand who the villains are, and say their names out loud. Continue to demand more from your leaders and your government, until they give you the California – and the country – you know you deserve. I will be with you all the way.”* Elsewhere in California however, progressives scored major victories. In California's 22nd congressional district, Bernie Sanders-backed Randy Villegas secured a spot in the top two, beating out his opponent Jasmine Bains, who enjoyed the backing of AIPAC and 53 corporate donors, according to the American Prospect. He will face Republican incumbent Congressman David Valadao in November. Even more impressive is the victory of progressive challenger Mai Vang in California's 7th district primary, where she actually emerged as the top vote getter, beating out longtime incumbent Congresswoman Doris Matsui. However, because Matsui, who is 81 years old, won the second-most votes, she will still advance to the general election.* Another much-anticipated primary was held this week on the exact other end of the country. In Maine, Graham Platner trounced his opponents in the Democratic Senate race, winning over 70% of the vote despite a concerted campaign against him in the national press. In his victory speech, CNN reports Platner wrote off the smears, saying “They don't know Maine.” Furthermore, he said “If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics, and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change…To all those who feel let down, disappointed, or disillusioned. It is my job to earn your trust, your faith, and your support. And I will spend every day of this campaign, and if I have the privilege, every day in the United States Senate, doing exactly that.” Platner will face off against five-term incumbent Senator Susan Collins in a race that will be decisive if Democrats are to have any chance of retaking the Senate in the 2026 midterms.* Turning towards the plains, two candidates are starting to show a surprising level of viability in heavily Republican, rural states. First, in Idaho, Todd Achilles is running as an independent against Republican incumbent Senator Jim Risch. Achilles served as a tank commander and armor officer in the Army before a varied career in the corporate world, education and now politics, according to Independent Voter News. The most striking development in this race is a new poll showing that while “Achilles starts out…behind by 14 points at 48-34…once voters hear biographical information about him and negative messaging about Senator Risch, he gains a full 17 points…[leading] Risch, 41% to 38%.” If accurate, this would be a stunningly close race in a state where registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats by a margin greater than 5-to-1.* In South Dakota, Brian Bengs, another veteran turned educator – turned, in this case, National Park Ranger – is running shockingly close to incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. According to the South Dakota Standard, the latest polling shows Rounds leading Bengs 44% to 40%, with 16% undecided. Moreover, like the Achilles poll, when voters are given biographical information about Bengs and negative messaging about Senator Rounds, that margin flips to 44% in favor of Bengs, compared to just 42% for Rounds. If these polls are accurate and independent candidates – not just Achilles and Bengs but also Dan Osborn in Nebraska and Seth Bodnar in Montana – prove viable, perhaps even victorious, in states long seen as out of reach for non-Republicans, there will have to be a serious reckoning with the toxicity of the Democratic Party brand in the American heartland.* In Michigan, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has picked up perhaps the most critical possible endorsement in the state: that of the United Auto Workers. In a statement, the union wrote that “UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn't afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity…From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.” Whether because of this endorsement or not, El-Sayed now seems to be in the driver's seat in this primary. This endorsement dovetails with UAW President Shawn Fain's rumored frustration with the mainstream labor movement for not doing more to back labor candidates, such as Clare Valdez in New York, who was a UAW organizer before entering the State Assembly.* On the House floor meanwhile, lame-duck dissident Republican Congressman Thomas Massie delivered a barn-burner of a speech this week, demanding that the government reopen the investigation into the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Al Jazeera reports. The attack on the Liberty, a US Navy vessel, killed 34 service members and injured 171 others. For decades, Israel has claimed that this was nothing more than an accidental incident of friendly fire, but the surviving veterans have long disputed this explanation, contending that it was a deliberate attack, either as a “false flag operation or because they simply didn't want anybody observing what they were doing that day.” Massie called on the House to “give them closure…It's long overdue. And then they can have their justice.”* Looking to Latin America, the presidential election in Peru is, predictably, coming down to a razor thin margin, WLRN reports. This race, between left-wing Senator Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, perennial presidential candidate and daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, currently stands at 50.004% for Fujimori and 49.996% for Sánchez, with 98.258% of the votes tabulated. Sánchez was favored to win after the in-country votes were counted, then Fujimori pulled ahead when the votes from Miami came in, other absentee votes eroded that margin and gave Sánchez the edge once again but Fujimori has yet again pulled ahead by a hair. This is Fujimori's fourth presidential campaign, making it to the runoff each time but ultimately losing by the narrowest of margins.* Finally, in Colombia, Progressive International reports that while Colombian President Gustavo Petro presides at the United Nations Security Council, “conservative forces in the country's legislature have conspired against the constitution to ‘SUSPEND' his presidency — just 11 days from the run-off presidential election.” While Reuters adds that the proposal must be “debated and approved by all ‌16 ⁠members of the [legislative Commission of Investigation and ​Accusation] and subsequently by the Senate before it can take effect,” it is hard to see this as anything besides an opportunistic grab for power while the proverbial cat is away. Petro's four-year term ends in August; the runoff in the presidential election, between leftist Ivan Cepeda and right-wing lawyer Abelardo ​De La Espriella, will be held on ​June 21st.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-11-26.1900 BRUSSELSAnatol Lieven discusses NATO's top US commander, General Grynkewich, who states Russia is not looking for conflict despite European concerns about US military withdrawals. Lieven agrees, noting that the Russian army is bogged down in Ukraine, making a deliberate attack on NATO members like the Baltics appear militarily absurd. (1)Anatol Lieven examines rising anti-immigrant tensions in the United Kingdom, where violent demonstrations in Belfastand England highlight growing public anger toward sudden demographic changes and crimes allegedly committed by asylum seekers. Lieven suggests these tensions are politically explosive, potentially forcing a leadership change in the Labour Party if right-wing parties continue to gain ground. (2)Leila Philip discusses the ancient Algonquin legend of Great Beaver, an environmental parable about resource hoarding and the creation of the Connecticut River Valley. The story reflects traditional ecological knowledge, emphasizing the beaver's immense power to control the water cycle and shape resilient landscapes. (3)Cliff May argues that Qatar utilizes its vast energy wealth to buy influence through professional sports, media platforms like Al Jazeera, and university campuses. He argues these investments allow the state to manipulate Western academic discourse and hedge political bets while hosting major US military assets. (4)Jack Burnham discusses China and North Korea's strategic alignment, noting that Xi Jinping's festive visit to Pyongyang signals China's willingness to de-emphasize denuclearization in favor of regional stability and strategic balancing against the US. North Korea, now an "arsenal of tyranny," leverages its military experience from the Ukrainian front lines to strengthen its regime. (5)Jack Burnham examines the Pentagon's 1260H list, which identifies Chinese companies allegedly assisting the PRC's military-industrial base, signaling increased regulatory scrutiny for these entities. Burnham recommends streamlining government lists to prevent companies from exploiting gaps and advises retail investors of the national security risks these firms pose. (6)Andrea Ferrara describes using the James Webb Space Telescope to investigate a mysterious red light source initially thought to be the most distant galaxy. By observing luminosity changes over two years, he determined it is likely a rare pair-instability supernova, resulting from the explosion of a massive primordial star. (7)Andrea Ferrara proposes building a 40-meter telescope on the lunar surface to succeed the James Webb Space Telescope. This moon-based facility would avoid atmospheric interference, allowing scientists to directly detect the universe's first stars and resolve long-standing mysteries regarding the aftermath of the Big Bang. (8)Mickey Trescott explains that autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system attacks its own organs, a condition affecting a high percentage of women. The protocol is a diet and lifestyle experiment designed to help individuals identify personal triggers and manage their chronic health symptoms. (9)Mickey Trescott describes how the core autoimmune protocol involves a strict 30-to-90-day elimination phase removing common triggers like grains, dairy, and nightshades. This "detective work" calms the immune system, allowing patients to systematically reintroduce foods to discover which specific ingredients negatively impact their health. (10)Mickey Trescott introduces a modified autoimmune protocol that includes rice and coffee, making it more accessible and affordable than the core version. A successful transition requires tracking baseline symptoms and preparing the kitchen to handle the nutritional demands of the upcoming elimination and reintroduction phases. (11)Mickey Trescott emphasizes consuming nutrient-dense foods like bone broth and fatty fish to resolve inflammation and support the microbiome. During reintroduction, patients identify specific food "villains" by monitoring symptom flare-ups, ultimately empowering them to choose a diet that maintains their long-term vitality. (12)Evan Ellis discusses Bolivia's severe instability as blockades led by supporters of Evo Morales disrupt the capital's supply of food and oxygen. Morales is described as a dangerous figure using cocaine-related funds to destabilize the democratically elected government, posing a significant risk to regional US allies. (13)Evan Ellis highlights a razor-thin election in Peru between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sanchez, exposing deep national divisions over corruption and wealth distribution. The outcome is geopolitically significant, as China already maintains a massive foothold in Peru through control of critical infrastructure, including major ports, mines, and electricity. (14)Evan Ellis notes how public frustration with rising crime and President Petro's "total peace" plan has fueled the rise of hardline political candidates in Colombia. As the country grapples with internal conflict, many Colombians seek a "strong hand" to restore security, mirroring historical law-and-order movements seen in neighboring South Americannations. (15)Evan Ellis discusses how a banking scandal involving Flavio Bolsonaro has impacted Brazilian polls, giving Lula da Silva a temporary lead. Meanwhile, El Salvador's President Bukele remains highly popular due to a dramatic security transformation that has revitalized urban life, despite international concerns regarding due process and human rights. (16)Four name/term corrections: (1) Grinkovich → Grynkewich (General Alexus Grynkewich, current SACEUR) (2) Labor Party → Labour Party (UK spelling per house style) (3) Laya Philip → Leila Philip (the actual author of Beaverland) (6) 126H list → 1260H list (Section 1260H of the NDAA — the standard reference)

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta quarta-feira (10): Os Estados Unidos anunciaram ataques contra o Irã em resposta à derrubada de um helicóptero Apache no Estreito de Ormuz. Segundo o Comando Central dos EUA (CENTCOM), a operação foi classificada como uma ação de autodefesa e ocorreu por ordem do presidente americano. A ofensiva começou às 18h no horário de Brasília. Washington afirma que a medida é uma resposta proporcional à agressão considerada injustificada por parte do Irã. O presidente nacional do PT, Edinho Silva, evitou fazer críticas públicas à decisão do ministro Nunes Marques, presidente do TSE. O magistrado determinou a suspensão de uma pesquisa eleitoral após pedido do senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ). O caso segue gerando repercussão no meio político e eleitoral. A CBF decidiu custear a viagem dos presidentes dos 40 clubes das Séries A e B para os Estados Unidos durante a Copa do Mundo de 2026. A entidade pagará passagens, hospedagem, alimentação e ingressos para que os dirigentes acompanhem a estreia da Seleção Brasileira contra o Marrocos. A iniciativa gerou repercussão no meio esportivo. O tema foi comentado por Wanderley Nogueira. O julgamento no TSE sobre a suspensão de uma pesquisa da AtlasIntel foi interrompido após pedido de vista da ministra Estela Aranha. O levantamento apontava queda nas intenções de voto de Flávio Bolsonaro. Antes da paralisação, o placar era de 1 a 0 pela manutenção da suspensão. Ainda não há previsão para a retomada da análise pelo plenário da Corte. O governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, afirmou confiar na segurança da vacina contra a dengue desenvolvida pelo Instituto Butantan. A aplicação do imunizante foi suspensa temporariamente pelo Ministério da Saúde. Segundo Tarcísio, a vacina passou por cerca de 20 anos de pesquisas e testes clínicos com 11 mil voluntários. O governador defendeu a retomada da vacinação após a conclusão das investigações em andamento. A disputa presidencial no Peru segue indefinida e pode levar semanas para ter um resultado oficial. Com cerca de 97% das urnas apuradas, o candidato de esquerda Roberto Sánchez aparece com 50,07% dos votos. Já a candidata de direita Keiko Fujimori registra 49,93%. A Quinta Turma do STJ decidiu por unanimidade que não houve estupro de vulnerável em um caso envolvendo um jovem de 18 anos e uma adolescente de 13 anos no Paraná. Durante o julgamento, o relator, ministro Messod Azulay Neto, destacou que determinadas situações exigem análise individualizada das circunstâncias. O processo corre sob segredo de Justiça. A Corte ressaltou a existência de casos considerados excepcionais. O diretor da AtlasIntel, Yuri Sanches, comentou no Jornal da Manhã a suspensão da pesquisa eleitoral determinada pelo TSE. O levantamento, que apontava queda nas intenções de voto de Flávio Bolsonaro, permanece proibido de divulgação. O julgamento foi interrompido após pedido de vista da ministra Estela Aranha. Enquanto aguarda nova análise da Corte, a AtlasIntel defende a metodologia utilizada. Pesquisa Genial/Quaest divulgada nesta quarta-feira (10) mostra Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva liderando as intenções de voto para a eleição presidencial de 2026. No primeiro turno, Lula aparece com 39%, seguido por Flávio Bolsonaro, com 29%. Em uma eventual disputa de segundo turno, o presidente teria 44% das intenções de voto, contra 38% do senador. Os demais candidatos aparecem com percentuais inferiores. Em nova proposta de delação premiada apresentada à PF e à PGR, o banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro mudou sua versão sobre a relação com o senador Ciro Nogueira e o ex-governador Cláudio Castro. Segundo fontes com acesso ao material, ele passou a considerar os episódios investigados como casos de propina. A nova narrativa abandona a versão anterior de que se tratavam apenas de relações de amizade. A mudança pode impactar o andamento das investigações.

En Perú, el izquierdista Roberto Sánchez lidera de momento los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales delante de Keiko Fujimori, con una diferencia mínima y un conteo no finalizado. Como la victoria será por pocos votos, los analistas consideran que el ganador o la ganadora tendrá que escuchar seriamente a los que votaron por el otro bando para romper el ciclo de la crisis política.   Para el politólogo de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Alejandro Mejía, el conteo de votos de la elección de 2026 le recuerda a la de 2021, cuando un porcentaje de décimas (0.6%) separaba al izquierdista y ganador Pedro Castillo, de Keiko Fujimori. “Tener mucho tacto político” El gobierno de Castillo, hoy en prisión, estuvo marcado por la inestabilidad, que habría podido evitarse, según el politólogo, si hubiera tenido tacto político para escuchar al segundo lugar. “El primer mensaje que deben en realidad enarbolar son las banderas de la gobernabilidad, tener mucho tacto político, porque estamos acostumbrados a dejar de lado al segundo lugar, y esto es algo que en el 2021 no se hizo en ningún momento: se mantuvo aislado a las fuerzas políticas que también compitieron, y no fueron parte del gobierno, y terminó acentuando más la crisis política”, analiza. “Entonces, sea Roberto Sánchez, o sea Keiko Fujimori, tiene una labor de autocrítica, pero también pensando en lo que la ciudadanía exige, que es hacer política, negociar, transar con esas fuerzas, pero también tener un gobierno de ancha base, donde se convoque al que quedó en segundo lugar, porque de alguna manera representa las preferencias electorales de un sector de la población que también quiere ciertos cambios y que deben ser incorporados en la agenda pública”, continúa Mejía. Relación con el Congreso La búsqueda de la estabilidad política también dependerá de la relación que tendrá el Ejecutivo con el Legislativo. Tanto Keiko Fujimori como Roberto Sánchez pueden encontrar una buena relación con los legisladores, según el politólogo de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Eduardo Dargent. “El candidato Sánchez tiene un número alto de congresistas y tiene posibles aliados que creo le permiten vetar unas vacancias fáciles, pero en la dinámica de desgaste de conflicto tiene mayor peligro, y además, diría, le va a costar más mantener su coalición. Keiko Fujimori tiene más control sobre el Congreso, tiene más número de congresistas, y diría que también más presencia en las instituciones que controlan al Ejecutivo y al Congreso. Entonces no necesariamente es algo bueno, si es que se puede convertir en abusos o persecución de oponentes. Depende cómo uno lo mire”, detalla Dargent. Hoy el izquierdista Roberto Sánchez aventaja a la derechista Keiko Fujimori, con poco más del 95% de las actas escrutadas tras las elecciones presidenciales del domingo. Según la ley, el próximo presidente de Perú deberá asumir el cargo el próximo 28 de julio.
