Greg Scarlatoiu analyzes Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang, noting that Kim Jong-un now views himself as a strategic equal to Xi and Putin. Despite sanctions, North Korea's economy shows a facade of growth fueled by billions made exporting artillery and special forces to Russia. Kim is also modernizing his security apparatus into a structure similar to Russia's FSB. (1)

Tommy and Ben are back to discuss a week that includes collapsed ceasefire(s), the World Cup, and Jared and Ivanka pretending to be conquistadors.The so-called ceasefires between Israel and Lebanon and the US and Iran continue to unravel, while Trump insists he has Iran and Israel under his control and twists reality (and the English language) to fit his narrative. Then, Ivanka Trump claims to have "discovered" a pristine, protected ecological island off the coast of Albania, sparking major protests and a government corruption investigation. The FIFA World Cup kicks off this week across three countries and 16 cities, and the guys dig into the Trump administration's decision to use the biggest sporting event on earth as an opportunity to deny visas to fans, journalists, and even Africa's top referee. Xi Jinping pays his first visit to North Korea in seven years amidst reports about Kim Jong Un's surprising economic turnaround. Former Trump National Security advisor John Bolton pleads guilty to mishandling classified information, while a CIA official is caught with 303 gold bars and a 15-year-old Nigerian congressional candidate is exposed for faking his age on the campaign trail. Then Tommy speaks with the BBC's Mexico, Central America, and Cuba Correspondent, Will Grant, about life on the ground in Cuba, what US intervention on the island could look like, and the vibes in Mexico City ahead of the World Cup.

On this week's episode, NK News Lead Correspondent Shreyas Reddy unpacks Chinese President Xi Jinping's first visit to North Korea in seven years and what it reveals about the future of China-DPRK relations. The conversation examines the symbolism and strategic messaging behind the two-day summit, including Xi's meetings with Kim Jong Un, visits to the Sino-DPRK Friendship Tower and the Workers' Party cadre school. Shreyas also discusses why denuclearization was notably absent from official readouts and what that suggests about Beijing's evolving approach to North Korea's nuclear program. The episode also explores whether China is seeking to reassert its influence as North Korea's ties with Russia deepen, what signs to watch for regarding trade, tourism and border reopenings, and why the composition of the Chinese delegation may offer clues about Beijing's priorities.  About the podcast: The NK News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering the latest developments in and around North Korea. Each episode breaks down the week's news cycle with NK News journalists, analysts and expert guests.

Decades of dictatorship culminated in 15 years of war and turmoil in Syria, making the country a focal point of hardship in the Middle East. But with the region torn asunder by the U.S.-Iran war, a relatively peaceful Syria is now an outpost of progress and hope.

Today, Les, John, and Andy take stock of a North Korea that has used Western distraction to significantly expand its strategic position. Pyongyang reportedly plans to exponentially increase its' nuclear enrichment capacity with the construction of the new Yongbyon nuclear facility and is undertaking a housing construction boom that allegedly rivals major American cities. Meanwhile, Xi Jinping's recent visit to Pyongyang, which focused heavily on trade rather than denuclearization, signals that Beijing has effectively taken pressure off Kim Jong Un to roll back his weapons program.Is the economic development inside North Korea real, and what does it mean for Kim's grip on power? With China sidelining denuclearization and ignoring UN sanctions, how does the U.S. compete against a four-power bloc of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea? Do Moscow and Beijing's deepening friendships with North Korea create friction over who calls the shots in Pyongyang? And with North Korea's missile capabilities increasingly capable of reaching American soil, is now the right moment for Washington to engage, or will U.S. regional partnerships be enough to hold the line?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@lestermunson@johnclipsey@andykeiserLike what we're doing here?

Le président chinois, Xi Jinping, a bouclé mardi son déplacement en Corée du Nord. Il a été accueilli en grande pompe lundi par Kim Jong-un, à l'occasion de sa première visite dans le pays depuis 2019, à l'heure où Pyongyang s'affirme aux côtés de Moscou et maintient fermement le cap sur son programme nucléaire.

Presiden Tiongkok, Xi Jinping, dan Pemimpin Tertinggi Korea Utara, Kim Jong-un, menggelar pertemuan bilateral tingkat tinggi di Pyongyang. Kunjungan kenegaraan Presiden Xi ini merupakan yang pertama kalinya ke Korea Utara dalam hampir tujuh tahun terakhir, sekaligus bertepatan dengan peringatan enam puluh lima tahun perjanjian persahabatan, kerja sama, dan bantuan timbal balik antara kedua negara.

Durante casi dos décadas, Corea del Norte ha desarrollado una sofisticada red de ciberoperaciones que, según gobiernos occidentales y expertos en seguridad, le permite obtener recursos para financiar su programa nuclear y de misiles. Detrás de estas actividades estarían grupos como Lazarus Group, Andariel y Bluenoroff, vinculados a algunas de las operaciones de piratería informática más ambiciosas de los últimos años. Desde ataques contra bancos hasta el robo de criptomonedas por valor de cientos de millones de dólares, estos grupos han convertido el ciberespacio en una herramienta estratégica para el régimen de Kim Jong-un. ¿Cómo opera esta red global de hackers y qué papel juega en la financiación de los programas militares de Pyongyang? En esta edición analizamos las claves de una de las estructuras de ciberespionaje más sofisticadas del mundo.

A la Une de la presse, ce mardi 9 juin, la visite, en ce moment, de Xi Jinping en Corée du nord. La première du dirigeant chinois depuis 2019. Les efforts de Donald Trump pour en finir avec la guerre avec l'Iran, alors que les Etats-Unis s'apprêtent à accueillir le Mondial de foot.

VOV1 - Triều Tiên ngày 7/6 tiếp tục khẳng định chương trình hạt nhân là vấn đề không thể thương lượng, đồng thời đẩy mạnh kế hoạch mở rộng năng lực sản xuất tên lửa nhằm tăng cường sức mạnh quốc phòng trong những năm tới.Theo Hãng Thông tấn Trung ương Triều Tiên (KCNA), bà Kim Yo Jong, em gái nhà lãnh đạo Kim Jong Un, tuyên bố vị thế quốc gia sở hữu vũ khí hạt nhân của Triều Tiên là “không thể đảo ngược” và sẽ không chấp nhận bất kỳ thách thức nào đối với vị thế này. Bà Kim Yo Jong nhấn mạnh chương trình hạt nhân của Triều Tiên không phải là vấn đề có thể đem ra đàm phán. Theo bà, lực lượng hạt nhân đã được hiến pháp hóa và đóng vai trò nòng cốt trong việc bảo vệ chủ quyền, an ninh quốc gia cũng như các lợi ích cốt lõi của đất nước. Tuyên bố được đưa ra sau khi phía Mỹ cho biết Tổng thống Donald Trump đã tái khẳng định mục tiêu phi hạt nhân hóa Triều Tiên trong cuộc gặp thượng đỉnh với Chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình tại Bắc Kinh hồi tháng trước.Chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình dự kiến sẽ thăm Triều Tiên trong hai ngày 8 và 9/6 tới, chuyến thăm đầu tiên của ông tới nước này sau gần 7 năm. Theo giới phân tích, chuyến thăm mang ý nghĩa quan trọng đối với cả Trung Quốc và Triều Tiên trong bối cảnh cục diện khu vực đang có nhiều thay đổi. Ông John Delury, chuyên gia cao cấp của Hiệp hội châu Á (Asia Society), nhận định việc đón tiếp Chủ tịch Tập Cận Bình cho thấy Triều Tiên vẫn duy trì quan hệ với các cường quốc hàng đầu thế giới. Trong khi đó, chuyến thăm cũng được xem là thông điệp của Trung Quốc khẳng định nước này vẫn là nhân tố có ảnh hưởng hàng đầu đối với Triều Tiên. Ông John Delury, nhấn mạnh: “Tôi nghĩ về tính biểu tượng, việc ông Tập Cận Bình theo dõi sát sao tình hình ở Bình Nhưỡng là rất quan trọng, và điều đó cho thấy ông ấy chú ý đến cả hai phía trên bán đảo Triều Tiên. Chuyến công du quốc tế gần đây nhất của ông ấy cũng là đến Hàn Quốc. Vì vậy, có một sự cân bằng nhất định mà phía Trung Quốc muốn duy trì, đó là việc theo dõi sát sao cả hai miền Triều Tiên.”Đồng tình với quan điểm này, Giáo sư Vương (Wang Yiwei) của Đại học Nhân dân Trung Quốc nhận định: Nếu xét về khía cạnh quân sự, tôi nghĩ Triều Tiên có mối quan hệ đặc biệt hơn với Nga, nhưng Trung Quốc vẫn rất quan trọng đối với Triều Tiên về năng lượng và thương mại, và cũng vì chúng tôi là láng giềng. Hơn nữa, khi Triều Tiên có được sự tự tin về an ninh và an toàn, có lẽ họ sẽ cởi mở hơn, và về cơ bản đó cũng là điều mà Trung Quốc mong muốn.”Liên quan tới kế hoạch tăng cường sức mạnh hạt nhân, nhà lãnh đạo Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un vừa thị sát một tổ hợp công nghiệp quốc phòng trọng điểm và chỉ đạo mở rộng năng lực sản xuất tên lửa đạn đạo và tên lửa hành trình lên khoảng 2,5 lần trong vòng 5 năm tới. Theo báo Rodong Sinmun, cơ quan ngôn luận của Đảng Lao động Triều Tiên, ông Kim Jong Un yêu cầu đưa nội dung mở rộng năng lực sản xuất tên lửa vào chương trình nghị sự của Hội nghị toàn thể lần thứ hai Ban Chấp hành Trung ương Đảng khóa IX sắp tới. Ông nhấn mạnh việc gia tăng sản lượng quốc phòng theo kế hoạch 5 năm là nhiệm vụ chiến lược đặc biệt quan trọng nhằm củng cố năng lực phòng thủ quốc gia.Trong chuyến thị sát, nhà lãnh đạo Triều Tiên đánh giá cao các doanh nghiệp quốc phòng đã hoàn thành trước tiến độ kế hoạch sản xuất vũ khí chủ lực trong nửa đầu năm 2026, đồng thời yêu cầu nâng cao hiệu quả quản lý, vận hành sản xuất và công tác bảo quản trang thiết bị quân sự. Những động thái mới nhất một lần nữa cho thấy Triều Tiên tiếp tục theo đuổi chiến lược tăng cường sức mạnh hạt nhân và hiện đại hóa năng lực quân sự trong bối cảnh môi trường an ninh khu vực vẫn tiềm ẩn nhiều diễn biến phức tạp./.Phương Anh/Ban Thời sự VOV1Nhà lãnh đạo Kim Jong Un thị sát doanh nghiệp sản xuất vũ khí quan trọng của Triều Tiên.

Pekín intenta reafirmar su influencia sobre un socio estratégicamente vital, pero que también es profundamente impredecible.

VOV1 - Nhà lãnh đạo Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un hôm qua (6/6) đã yêu cầu doanh nghiệp quốc phòng nước này tăng năng lực sản xuất vũ khí lên 2,5 lần trong 5 năm tới.Tuyên bố của nhà lãnh đạo Triều Tiên đưa ra trong chuyến thị sát doanh nghiệp công nghiệp quân sự quan trọng của nước này để tìm hiểu về hoạt động sản xuất vũ khí chính trong nửa đầu năm 2026.Hãng thông tấn Trung ương Triều Tiên (KCNA) hôm nay (7/6) cho biết, tại đây, ông đã đánh giá cao việc doanh nghiệp này hoàn thành kế hoạch sản xuất vũ khí chính trong nửa đầu năm trước thời hạn và thúc đẩy công tác chuẩn bị sản xuất trong nửa cuối năm.Ông cũng nghe báo cáo của Tổng cục Tên lửa Triều Tiên về kế hoạch dài hạn mở rộng năng lực sản xuất các loại tên lửa đạn đạo và tên lửa hành trình, đồng thời chỉ đạo trình báo cáo lên Hội nghị toàn thể lần thứ hai Ban Chấp hành Trung ương Đảng Lao động Triều Tiên khóa IX xem xét.Ông nhấn mạnh, cần tăng năng lực sản xuất vũ khí hiện có lên gấp 2,5 lần trong thời kỳ Kế hoạch 5 năm, nhằm đáp ứng nhu cầu tăng mạnh về tên lửa khi cơ cấu nhóm tác chiến và tổ chức chiến đấu của lực lượng vũ trang được điều chỉnh. Theo ông, “đây là nhiệm vụ then chốt có ý nghĩa hết sức quan trọng”.Cùng ngày, bà Kim Yo Jong, Trưởng ban trong Ban chấp hành Trung ương đảng Lao động Triều Tiên, em gái ông Kim Jong Un, đã ra tuyên bố bác bỏ thông tin của phía Mỹ về việc Chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình và Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump tái khẳng định mục tiêu phi hạt nhân hóa Bán đảo Triều Tiên trong cuộc gặp hồi tháng 5 vừa qua.Bà khẳng định, Triều Tiên sẽ không bao giờ từ bỏ vị thế quốc gia sở hữu vũ khí hạt nhân và sẽ không dung thứ cho bất kỳ mối đe dọa nào nhằm vào nước này. Tuyên bố của bà Kim Yo Jong được đưa ra ngay trước chuyến thăm Bình Nhưỡng của Tổng Bí thư, Chủ tịch Tập Cận Bình từ ngày 8-9/6.Trước đó, hôm 3/6, Triều Tiên đã công bố một cơ sở sản xuất vật liệu hạt nhân mới. Tại đây, ông Kim Jong Un kêu gọi mở rộng kho vũ khí hạt nhân của nước này “theo cấp số nhân”.Một ngày sau đó, ông nhấn mạnh, việc phát triển nhanh chóng lực lượng hải quân Triều Tiên “thành một lực lượng có khả năng đảm nhiệm một phần trách nhiệm răn đe chiến tranh hạt nhân” và có thể giáng đòn chí mạng vào kẻ thù bất cứ lúc nào cả dưới nước lẫn trên mặt nước là vấn đề mà Đảng Lao động Triều Tiên coi là “nhiệm vụ cốt lõi quan trọng nhất” trong chính sách phát triển quốc phòng 5 năm mới, khi đến thăm và theo dõi cuộc thử nghiệm dẫn đường của tàu khu trục Kang Kon vào ngày 4/6./.Bích Thuận/VOV-Bắc KinhNhà lãnh đạo Kim Jong Un thị sát doanh nghiệp sản xuất vũ khí quan trọng của Triều Tiên.

In this episode of Pekingology, CSIS Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Adam Farrar, who previously served as Special Advisor to the Vice President for the Indo-Pacific, Space, and Intelligence as well as Director for the Korean Peninsula and Mongolia at the White House National Security Council. Adam is currently a Senior Geoeconomics Analyst at Bloomberg and Non-Resident Senior Associate with the CSIS Korea Chair. As Xi Jinping prepares for a rare trip to Pyongyang, Henrietta and Adam unpack China's complex relationship with North Korea. They discuss what the Trump-Xi summit revealed about Beijing's position on denuclearization, how much leverage China actually has over Pyongyang, and why Kim Jong Un keeps creating problems for Xi. The conversation also explores how Beijing balances its desire for stability on the Korean Peninsula with Moscow's growing influence there, and what all of this means for U.S. strategy in Asia.

We think of North Korea as a communist dictatorship. But Jonathan Cheng, the Wall Street Journal's China Bureau Chief and former Korea Bureau Chief, says that misses the real story.He argues North Korea functions more like a religion -  complete with rituals, worship, and a ruling family treated like immortals.

VOV1 - Từ trước đến nay, CHDCND Triều Tiên luôn là tâm điểm của sự chú ý từ Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc, nhưng gần đây, sự chú ý này lại trở nên sâu sắc hơn và đặc biệt hơn.Động thái đầu tiên khiến Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc chú ý đặc biệt là khả năng Chủ tịch nước Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình sẽ thăm Triều Tiên vào cuối tháng 5  hoặc đầu tháng 6 tới. Đã có tin về việc một nhóm quan chức chịu trách nhiệm về an ninh và nghi lễ của ông Tập Cận Bình đã tới Bình Nhưỡng - một động thái được cho là để chuẩn bị cho các thủ tục liên quan chuyến thăm.Nếu được thực hiện, đây sẽ là lần đầu tiên nhà lãnh đạo cao nhất của Trung Quốc đi thăm Triều Tiên kể từ năm 2019 đến nay và sự chú ý còn cao hơn nữa, khi thông tin này xuất hiện ngay sau hội đàm thượng đỉnh giữa Mỹ và Trung Quốc mới diễn ra hôm 14/5 vừa qua.Động thái thứ 2 là việc Bộ chính trị Đảng Lao động Triều Tiên đã ấn định thời điểm tổ chức Hội nghị Ban chấp hành trung ương lần thứ 2 khóa 9 vào cuối tháng 6/2026. Theo Hãng thống tấn trung ương Triều Tiên (KCNA), đây là hoạt động nhằm sơ kết 6 tháng đầu năm, đưa ra phương hướng cho 6 tháng cuối năm 2026 và xa hơn.Tuy nhiên, mối quan tâm của Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc lại tập trung vào quan hệ Triều – Mỹ và việc nhà lãnh đạo Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un sẽ có những phát ngôn và động thái gì tại hội nghị về vấn đề hạt nhân – tên lửa, nhất là sau khi Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump và Chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình xác lập mục tiêu chung về “phi hạt nhân hóa bán đảo Triều Tiên” tại hội đàm thượng đỉnh vừa qua.Riêng với Hàn Quốc, các mối quan tâm nêu trên còn được lồng ghép vào việc Triều Tiên vừa sửa đổi Hiến pháp. Phía Hàn Quốc phân tích, Hiến pháp mới của Triều Tiên thể hiện sự đoạn tuyệt đối với quan hệ hai miền thông qua khái niệm “hai quốc gia độc lập”, nhưng điều đó không có nghĩa là Triều Tiên coi Hàn Quốc là kẻ thù, đồng thời khẳng định Hiến pháp mới của Triều Tiên không có yếu tố thù địch.Mặc dù vậy, Hội nghị Ban chấp hành trung ương Đảng Lao động Triều Tiên tới đây vẫn được xem là phép thử đối với chính sách hòa hoãn mà Seoul đang dành cho Bình Nhưỡng./. VOV Nhật BảnNhà lãnh đạo Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un.

While U.S. attention has been consumed by wars in the Middle East and Europe, North Korea's Kim Jong Un is expanding his nuclear arsenal, testing missiles from land and sea, and locking in a new strategic partnership with Russia. In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with Ankit Panda - Stanton Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, co‑host of the Asia Geopolitics podcast at The Diplomat, and one of the world's leading experts on North Korea's nuclear and missile forces - to unpack what's really going on in Pyongyang and why it matters far beyond the Korean Peninsula.Ankit explains why North Korea is now America's “third nuclear adversary,” with intercontinental ballistic missiles that can reach the U.S. homeland and the lowest threshold for nuclear use of any nuclear‑armed state on Earth. He traces how Kim's testing program shifted from cautious development to high‑tempo nuclear war exercises, including tactical nuclear weapons aimed squarely at U.S. and South Korean forces in the region.The conversation digs into the deepening Russia-North Korea military partnership, the implications of the new Choe Hyon‑class destroyer and submarine programs, and the stability‑instability paradox that could make conventional clashes more likely as Pyongyang's deterrent matures. Ankit also lays out his argument for a U.S. policy shift from denuclearization to “stable coexistence,” explains why Washington already treats Kim as a nuclear peer in practice, and warns of the growing risk that South Korea could break from the Non‑Proliferation Treaty and pursue its own bomb.If you care about U.S. extended deterrence, the future of the Indo‑Pacific security order, North Korea-Russia cooperation, the South Korea nuclear debate, or the rising risk of nuclear crisis in Northeast Asia, this is a conversation you need to hear!

This week on the NK News Podcast, Data Correspondent Anton Sokolin talks about the expanding North Korea-Russia relationship — from military pageantry in Moscow to drone training in Russia's Far East and a mysterious shipwreck off Spain's coast. Anton breaks down the significance of North Korean soldiers marching through Red Square for the first time during Russia's Victory Day parade, what their appearance says about Moscow's shifting alliances and why Kim Jong Un skipped the event despite expectations that he may eventually visit Russia again. The discussion also covers a DPRK delegation's visit to a Russian drone training facility, where officials observed UAV operations amid growing North Korean interest in battlefield drones and potential lessons from the war in Ukraine. Later, the episode turns to North Korean pharmaceutical exports to Russia, including Kumdang-5, a ginseng-based pill marketed as a cure-all remedy, and the sanctions questions raised by DPRK-made traditional medicines appearing on Russian online marketplaces. Finally, Anton walks through the still-unresolved mystery of the Ursa Major, a Russian military-linked vessel that sank off Spain in late 2024.  About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, Jim was away and his National Review colleague Charles C.W. filled in for three days.This week, Charlie and Greg highlight he Trump administration's escalating crackdown on Medicare and Medicaid fraud, the dangerous Democratic push to expand the U.S. Supreme Court, the disturbing number of people who think the Trump assassination attempts were staged, and North Korea's new nuclear policy.First, Charlie and Greg applaud Vice President JD Vance and CMS Director Mehmet Oz for taking a tougher stance against Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The administration announced it is deferring $1.3 billion in Medicare reimbursements to California over concerns the state is failing to combat fraud effectively. Vance warns other states could face similar consequences, while Oz explains the huge benefits we could see from greatly reducing fraud.Next, Charlie goes deeper into his condemnation of Democrats openly plotting to expand the U.S. Supreme Court by enough seats to give the left a likely majority. Charlie explains why he believes that would be the most damaging event to our constitutional order since the Civil War.Then, they're horrified that a third of Democrats believe the attempted White House Correspondents Dinner shooting was staged. And even more of them believe the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania - where Trump actually got shot - was staged. Charlie and Greg discuss the relentless conspiracies in our politics and whether there's a way to reverse the trend.Finally, they comment on North Korea's new law that if another nation kills or incapacitates Kim Jong-Un, North Korea would "automatically and immediately" launch nuclear weapons.Please visit our great sponsors:CalotrenIf you're looking for the missing piece-Calotren is it.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Iran's months-long internet blackout is exposing growing cracks inside the regime itself, as politically connected elites reportedly receive privileged online access through controversial “white SIM cards” while millions of ordinary citizens remain digitally cut off from the outside world. North Korea reportedly adopts a chilling new constitutional provision requiring automatic nuclear retaliation if Kim Jong Un is assassinated, raising fresh concerns about a potential “nuclear dead man's switch” inside the isolated regime. An international maritime operation delivers a major blow to global drug cartels after authorities crack down on what investigators describe as a transatlantic “cocaine highway” stretching across the Atlantic Ocean. And in today's Back of the Brief—the man accused of targeting President Trump during last month's White House Correspondents' Dinner pleads not guilty to multiple federal charges as questions surrounding the security breach continue mounting.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who also hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they break down the Democrats' latest overt attacks on our courts, Congress considering a federal gas tax holiday, the disturbing number of people who think the Trump assassination attempts were staged, and North Korea's new nuclear policy.First, they react to California Gov. Gavin Newsom accusing the U.S. Supreme Court of exercising "raw power politics" and raising questions about its legitimacy because the justices allowed Alabama to change its congressional map. Meanwhile, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is vowing "massive" judicial reforms if Democrats get back in power. Charlie explains what's really happening here.Next, there's a movement in Congress to suspend the federal gas tax for 90 days. Charlie explains why he sees this more as a gimmick than a solution to high prices. But he also reveals why he's glad to see Congress doing this even though he opposes the bill.Then, they're horrified that a third of Democrats believe the attempted White House Correspondents Dinner shooting was staged. And even more of them believe the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania - where Trump actually got shot - was staged. Charlie and Greg discuss the relentless conspiracies in our politics and whether there's a way to reverse the trend.Finally, they comment on North Korea's new law that if another nation kills or incapacitates Kim Jong-Un, North Korea would "automatically and immediately" launch nuclear weapons.Please visit our great sponsors:Quo Money is on the line.

This week's NK News Podcast looks at a newly revealed document that appears to show how North Korea amended its constitution to redefine relations with South Korea. Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim discusses the document's apparent removal of unification language, its new territorial clause and why Pyongyang may be keeping maritime boundaries deliberately vague. She also delves into what the changes could mean for Kim Jong Un's leadership, including the trimming of references to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, the use of “head of state” language and constitutional wording on nuclear command delegation. Finally, she discusses how seriously to treat the unverified document, as well as why she disagrees with Seoul's reading that the text may suggest a less hostile posture. In the second half, Peter Ward joins the podcast to examine what the purported revisions suggest about life inside North Korea. He explains how the document appears to scale back state promises on food, housing, health care and taxation, while reaffirming central control over major parts of the economy.

It's Tuesday, May 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Muslims severed hands of Christian convert Muslims are persecuting more Christians in Uganda, Africa even though Islamists make up only 13% of the population.    A Christian convert was subjected to the severing of both hands when his family found out about his attending Christian services.  Morning Star News reports that 40-year-old Kalegeya Faruku is still undergoing medical treatment from the ordeal that occurred at his family home in Jinja three weeks ago. Please, pray for the persecuted. North Korea will use nukes if Kim Jong Un is assassinated South Korea's National Intelligence Service has just disclosed North Korea's change in policy on the use of nuclear weapons.   As of March 22nd, the North Korean government revised its constitution to command a nuclear strike if the nation's leader, Kim Jong Un, is assassinated, reports the New York Post. The policy change came after Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed by a military strike on February 28, 2026. Big shake-up in the United Kingdom parliament The Reform UK Party made major gains in last week's regional elections in the United Kingdom.  Even though it was not a national election, the Reform Party came out with 30% of the seats while the Conservative Party represents 17%.  The remaining 53% are divvied up by the more left-wing parties:  22% for Labour, 18% for Liberal Democrats, and 12% for the Greens. The right turns more nationalist and populist. The left remains, well, I guess we can say -- left. For the record, the Labour Party lost 18%, and the Conservatives lost 7% in the political bloodbath. Reform Party leader Nigel Farage hailed the wins against both the Labour Party and establishment conservatives. Listen. FARAGE:  “This is a celebration! And what a remarkable couple of days this has been. We're seeing some truly historic shifts in voting patterns in parts of this country --  things, frankly, I could never have dreamt that we'd see. … “Getting elected to public office does carry a burden of responsibility, and that burden of responsibility is because people have placed their faith and their trust in you. And they've done it at a time when I don't think faith, belief and trust in our leaders and our politicians has ever been at a lower level in our country.” Let's all remember: “God is the judge: He puts down one, and sets up another.” (Psalm 75:7) Virginia Supreme Court overturns Democrat redistricting In a 4-3 ruling on May 8th, the Virginia Supreme Court rejected the state's new Congressional maps, which could have given Virginia Democrats ten seats, leaving the Republicans with only one in the U.S. Congress. Republican State Senator Ryan McDougle celebrated the decision, while also blasting Democrats for trying to go around the law. MCDOUGLE:  “You cannot violate the Constitution in order to change the constitution. The Supreme Court made that clear. Voters had a choice of what was on the ballot. Voters did not have a choice of whether the constitutional law was followed.” Virginia Democrats are planning to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it is unclear if they will even get a hearing.  Value of gold and the price of an average home Back in 1971, when gold was $35 an ounce, you could pay for a median-priced home with 714 ounces of gold. Now that gold prices are hovering around $4,700 per ounce, a median-priced home would cost you about 85 ounces of gold. Does the number of mortgage lenders reveal troubled economy? Since 2022, employees working for non-bank mortgage lenders have dropped by 40%. That's the lowest level in recorded history, even lower than the 2009-2010 housing crash.  Wolfstreet.com reports that existing home sales have reached the lowest level since 1995. Democrat-run states are in worst financial condition American state governments are facing serious budget shortfalls. . . driving up their spending power per gross state income ratios. Nine of the 10 states in the worst financial condition are Democrat-run states -- the worst of which are California, Illinois, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and New York.  Scammers swindled $16 billion from Americans in 2025 And finally, here's a helpful update for you on financial scams. The U.S. scamming “industry” hit $16 billion last year, up 22% compared to the previous year.  That's four times the value of property stolen in burglaries. Be informed. Protect your family from this criminal activity. The most common scams include the “advanced fee” scam where you're promised some kind of benefit -- a government grant, an inheritance, or some prize with a catch. They ask for a payment up front before you can receive your benefit.  Or there is the “tech support” scam.  You receive a call or a message online from what appears to be a company like Microsoft or some anti-virus company. They tell you they can fix the problem for a fee lest you lose all your data. Some scams will phish for your data, asking for your Social Security number, credit card number, bank account info, or passwords. Whatever you do, do not give out that data, even if they claim to be from a trusted source, Emergency scams or grandparent scams. The voice pretends to be a grandchild or close relative with a problem.  . . They may use a familiar phone number on the caller ID, and drop some information they found about the person on the internet. Remember, caller IDs can be easily faked. Just ask a few questions. They will ask for money. Don't give it to them, without asking a few questions to confirm the identity first. Then there are the IRS and FBI scammers, the toll road scammers, the foreign money exchange scammers, the counterfeit cashier's check scam, and banking scams.  Customers are told to move their money to a safer account. Scammers are almost always working on emotions, getting you frazzled, so you will make a quick and imprudent decision. Micah 6:10-12 speaks of this: “Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked and the short measure that is an abomination? Shall I count pure those with the wicked scales, and with the bag of deceitful weights?  For her, rich men are full of violence. Her inhabitants have spoken lies and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.
