Diplomacy and Deterrence: Trump's Asia Success and the Venezuela Crisis Guest: Mary Kissel Mary Kissel reviews President Trump's successful engagement in Asia, including the ACEN conference where trade agreements and critical mineral investments were highlighted. She notes the strengthening US-Japanese partnership with Prime Minister Takayuki Sai, calling Japan the only significant military counterbalance to China in the region. Regarding the US carrier deployment near Venezuela, Kissel supports the use of deterrence but raises concerns about the legality of military strikes on alleged drug boats without a declaration of war. The political aim may be to empower Venezuelans to overthrow the Maduro regime.

CBC subsequently blurred the symbols in the published footage. This incident reflects Canada's historical difficulty in addressing its harboring of former Nazi criminals, following the earlier scandal of Waffen SS member Ivan Hunka receiving an ovation in Parliament. Golinkin notes that while Nazi elements exist within Ukrainian forces, Russia exploits this fact for propaganda purposes to delegitimize Ukraine's struggle. 1045-1100 VCanadian Media Airs Interview with Neo-Nazi-Associated Ukrainian Fighter Guest: Lev Golinkin Lev Golinkin discusses the scandal involving the Canadian Broadcasting Company, which interviewed a man associated with a neo-Nazi-led Ukrainian brigade who bore swastika tattoos.

Suidani's province instituted a moratorium on CCP-linked businesses. Paskal highlights how CCP proxies employed political warfare, financial pressure, and control over vital healthcare resources, such as the country's only functioning dialysis machine, to undermine him. This situation reflects broader CCP influence operations across the Indo-Pacific, including in US territories. 1115-1130 The Battle for Oceania: Remembering Daniel Suidani and Chinese Political Warfare Guest: Cleo Paskal Cleo Paskal discusses the death of Daniel Suidani, a leader from Malaita in the Solomon Islands who strongly resisted aggression from the Chinese Communist Party.

Drawing on the In re Neagle case from 1890, Yoo confirms the federal government's right to use force to execute its functions on American soil. He argues that governors opposing deployment are resisting federal law enforcement, akin to segregationists resisting integration. Yoo clarifies that states can adopt "sanctuary" policies by choosing not to cooperate with federal law, but they cannot constitutionally impede federal agents from carrying out their duties. 1145-1200 The Constitutional Authority to Deploy National Guard to Protect Federal Facilities Guest: Professor John Yoo Professor John Yoo discusses the President's inherent constitutional authority to use the National Guard to protect federal property and personnel during city disorder.

In the United Kingdom, he notes Labour leader Keir Starmer reversed his tax pledge amidst poor productivity forecasts and failing reforms. Constable details the collapse of a high-profile China espionage case, possibly because UK espionage laws remain outdated from before World War I and China was not formally designated a hostile state at the time. He also highlights the troubling advice given by police to Israeli football fans to avoid attending a match due to safety concerns. 1215-1230 Global Commodities and UK Political Turmoil: Copper Prices Soar and Starmer's Tax U-Turn Guest: Simon Constable Simon Constable reports that copper prices are soaring to $5.18, up 20 percent, due to insufficient supply to meet demand from electric vehicles and artificial intelligence applications.

Other topics include delays in the Griffin lunar lander, iSpace partnerships, Luxembourg's investment in space manufacturing, Russian claims about a nuclear-powered missile, and Japan's launch of an upgraded HTV cargo freighter. 1245-100 AM SpaceX Sets New Launch Records While NASA and Lunar Programs Face Delays Guest: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman discusses SpaceX setting a new record of 138 launches in one year, with Falcon 9 surpassing the total launches of the entire Space Shuttle fleet.

Join us as we start our Live talk with the U Haul truck inccident in San Francisco attempting to ram Coast Guardsmen and federal agents. We then shift over to the Trump-Xi meeting that is taking place to hopefully put to rest the tariff war between the two countries. Speaking of Trump, 24 states are now sueing him for the halt on SNAP benifits, although we next discuss how multiple Democrats acknowledge that this halt (and the government shut down as a whole) are being used as political leverage despite how many people it will effect. We then shift over to the hurricane that demolished Jamaica, then we debunk the Venezuelan claims that Maduro has captured CIA agents attempting to set up a false flag operation. The Russian president is touting that they have now created a weapon that no one else on earth has, a nuclear powered missle! I guess they are unaware that America developed this technology already and scrubbed it because it's stupid...back in 1961! Isreal has reattacked Gaza killing over 100 people, then says it will continue the cease fire, over an alleged scandal involving the return of hostage remains that have already been returned two years ago. We then shift over to Sudan and discuss the genocide that is un folding there by the RSF, before we finish off talking about the massive gang raids that are taking place in Brazil killing 136 gang members by police and military forces.To join in on the conversation next week, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

More than 25 percent of countries around the world are currently governed by populists, from Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, to Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, and Donald Trump in the United States. Based on these findings, populism is at an all-time high, and taking a significant economic toll, according to a recent paper by Christoph Trebesch and his co-authors.Trebesch is Professor of Economics at Kiel University. He and his co-authors find that populism leads to slower economic growth, undermines democratic institutions, and can leave the country more vulnerable to future populist governments.

War Fighting vs. Law Enforcement: Clarifying US Operations Against Venezuelan Drug Trafficking Mary Kissel John Batchelor speaks with Mary Kissel about the confusion regarding the US stance on Venezuela and Maduro. Kissel questions if the large offshore fleet suggests war fighting—making it acceptable to bomb boats and kill people—or if drug trafficking should be handled as a criminal enterprise requiring apprehension and justice processes. She notes that figures like Marco Rubio and Chris Landau would likely support a stronger, deterrent policy. 1917

Venezuelan Military Action and the Need for Congressional War Powers Debate Bradley Bowman John Batchelor speaks with Bradley Bowman of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies about the possibility of military action against Venezuela's illegitimate Maduro regime. Bowman stresses that before opening fire, the administration must brief Congress, build bipartisan support, and present a realistic plan. Drawing lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan, he warns that while destroying is easy, building is tougher, and war is always unpredictable. 1920

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers new U.S. military strikes on drug boats in the Pacific, spy games inside Venezuela, a leadership shakeup at ICE, and President Trump's high-stakes meetings in Asia ahead of his summit with China's Xi Jinping. U.S. Strikes Cartel Boats in the Pacific: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed that U.S. forces destroyed four cartel vessels off Mexico's coast. Bryan warns that the cartels are adapting fast — soon using AI-driven drone swarms and decoy boats to overwhelm U.S. defenses. "This is a shifting battlespace," he says, "where drug wars are becoming drone wars." Spy Games in Venezuela: Reports claim the Maduro regime captured mercenaries allegedly linked to the CIA, while a leaked DHS operation shows U.S. officers tried to recruit Maduro's pilot to defect with the dictator mid-flight. Bryan, skeptical of the CIA connection, explains why the pitch failed and what it reveals about poor tradecraft. ICE Shakeup and Deportation Fight: Twelve city directors were removed as DHS Secretary Kristi Noem pushes for mass deportations beyond violent offenders. The debate now divides Homeland Security: target "the worst of the worst" or deport "all of the above." Bryan argues that half-measures risk repeating 40 years of failed border policy. Shutdown Politics and GOP Infighting: Speaker Mike Johnson clashed with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene over the shutdown and Trump's leadership, reflecting tension between populists focused on domestic issues and those backing Trump's global diplomacy. Polls show Republicans gaining ground while Trump's approval dips slightly among independents. Trump's Asia Tour and China's Power Struggles: As Trump meets leaders in Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea before tomorrow's summit with Xi Jinping, China faces internal turmoil — a slowing economy and the purge of nine top generals. Bryan says, "Xi isn't losing power, but he's becoming more paranoid — and that makes China far more dangerous." "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: U.S. Navy drug boat strikes Pacific, AI cartel drone warfare, Venezuela CIA recruitment pilot, ICE deportation strategy Noem Homan, DHS leadership purge, Trump shutdown GOP divide, Trump Asia trade tour Xi Jinping summit, China economic slowdown military purge, Japan South Korea trade deals

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Hace dos semanas, la oposición venezolana recibió una noticia alentadora: habían concedido a María Corina Machado el Premio Nobel de la Paz por su incansable lucha por recuperar la democracia en Venezuela tras más de 25 años de chavismo. El Comité Noruego reconoció no solo su liderazgo personal, sino también el esfuerzo de millones de ciudadanos que se movilizaron en torno a ella durante las elecciones presidenciales del año pasado. La oposición logró una victoria abrumadora, pero el régimen la robó de forma descarada. Eso al menos dejó claro al mundo que el fraude electoral es la norma en la Venezuela de Maduro. A pesar del simbolismo del Nobel, lo cierto es que las perspectivas de una transición pacífica siguen siendo inciertas. Machado mantiene vínculos muy estrechos con figuras como el secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, pero la actitud de Donald Trump hasta ahora ha sido contradictoria. Durante sus primeros meses fue meramente transaccional hasta que en agosto anunció un gran despliegue naval en el Caribe compuesto por siete barcos de guerra, un submarino, helicópteros, drones y cazas F-35 que operan desde Puerto Rico. De camino se encuentra el portaaviones Gerald Ford, y el destructor Gravely se ha posicionado en la isla de Trinidad, a sólo a 10 kilómetros de las costas venezolanas. Oficialmente el despliegue es para controlar el narcotráfico, pero a nadie se le oculta su naturaleza política. Trump ha autorizado operaciones encubiertas de la CIA en Venezuela y, al ser interrogado sobre ataques directos, ha respondido con evasivas. Machado, por su parte, asegura en videos subidos a las redes sociales que el régimen “está acabado” y ha pedido de forma explícita ayuda a EEUU. A partir de aquí se dibujan tres posibles escenarios. El primero una rebelión interna: militares descontentos que agiten los cuarteles junto a manifestaciones multitudinarias que terminen derribando a Maduro. EEUU podría brindar apoyo logístico y de inteligencia. Pero este escenario es improbable. La represión postelectoral ha sido brutal. Machado está escondida. Edmundo González Urrutia y Leopoldo López viven en Madrid. El resto de la oposición está dividida. El ejército no es monolítico, pero sus altos oficiales son chavistas leales y los rangos intermedios se encuentran muy vigilados. El segundo escenario sería un ataque directo de EEUU que culmine con la captura de Maduro, algo similar a lo que sucedió con Noriega en Panamá allá por 1989. Pero Venezuela es muy grande, su geografía compleja y dispone de defensas aéreas. Neutralizarlas implicaría fuego directo, lo que podría derivar en una guerra prolongada que degenere en una guerra civil. El tercero, y más probable de los escenarios es que no ocurra nada. Maduro lo fía todo a que Trump se canse, declare una victoria contra el narcotráfico y opte por volver a la vía diplomática. Ahí podría recuperar su plan de 2020, el Marco de Transición Democrática que proponía una transición ordenada mediante elecciones libres a cambio de retirar las sanciones, pero no hubo voluntad por la parte chavista. Revivirlo requeriría acuerdos verificables con plazos medibles. El despliegue naval es útil como herramienta de presión para llegar hasta ese punto, pero lo cierto es que el régimen no está dispuesto a conceder nada.

Venezuela Says It Captured CIA Group Planning False Flag Attack, Maduro Condemns US “Military Provocation” As White House Considers Air Force Strikes

It's Tuesday, October 28th, A.D. 2025. 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 South African government regulating churches Earlier this month, the South African government agency, known as the Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Rights Commission, launched a committee to regulate churches in the country. The new committee will most likely make determinations as to “what qualifies as a religion,” who may be recognized as a religious leader, and where churches may worship. The concern is also that this governmental power would force churches to come under State-approved umbrella bodies. The nation's churches have scheduled a march to the Parliament building in Cape Town, the capital of South Africa, on November 13th. South Africa rejects self-defense as reason to own a gun The South African Parliament is also considering additional restrictions on firearms to remove “self-defense” as a valid reason to own a gun. This would remove meaningful protection for families, farms, and churches from violent criminals, in one of the most violent nations on Earth. The Communists and the left-leaning African National Congress have 51% control of the South African parliament. Turmoil in Chinese Communist Party The Chinese Communist government is still in turmoil. At this moment, 38 of the 205 members of the central committee failed to appear for the big Plenum session last week. Of the 33 generals on the Committee, 22 were missing. Trump to meet with Chinese president Xi Jinping on Asian tour President Donald Trump met with Japan's newly elected Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi yesterday. This week, he will move on to high level meetings in South Korea and China, with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday.  The White House announced that President Trump has signed historic peace deals with Cambodia and Thailand, trade deals with Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, and minerals deals with Malaysia and Thailand. Javier Milei's mid-term election triumph in Argentina The results for Argentina's mid-term elections are in.  And Javier Milei's Libertarian Party crushed it, reports Reuters. Now, Milei's party has 41% control of the legislature which is up from 26% in 2023. The left wing party dropped off from 44% to 32% which is an 11% decline. Milei's agenda will have stronger legislative backing for more reforms in tax reduction and deregulation of business for the country. Bolivia rejects socialism And, by God's sovereign order of things, Bolivia has a new president as of last week, reports CBS News. Rodrigo Paz is more centrist — a change after 20 years of socialism in this mountainous country of South America. Not surprisingly, socialist countries like Venezuela and Bolivia are the poorest countries in all of South America. King Charles III glorified sodomy King Charles III of England glorified homosexuality yesterday by placing flowers at a newly constructed memorial to homosexuals serving in the nation's military, reports The Times. Prince Charles's mentor and uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, served as Britain's Chief of Defense in the 1960s, and was reported in 2019 as “a homosexual with a perversion for young boys.” King Charles III joined Pope Leo XIV for worship King Charles III made other news headlines last week, when he participated in a public worship service with the Roman Catholic Pope Leo XIV.   This was the first time a reigning British monarch joined the Pope for such events since the Reformation. King Charles and his wife, Camilla, sat on golden thrones under Michelangelo's "Last Judgment" fresco in the Sistine Chapel for the ecumenical service.  Joel 3 reminds us of God's judgement.   “Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow — for their wickedness is great.” Putin celebrates successful test of missile Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrated a successful test for the Burevestnik missile over the weekend, reports CBS News. Putin announced that the armament was ready for deployment, after it completed a 10,000-mile flight. Plus, according to the Russian military, the missile “successfully performed all designated vertical and horizontal maneuvers, demonstrating its strong ability to evade anti-missile and air defense systems.” Hurricane Melissa: Biggest one to hit Caribbean Category 5 Hurricane Melissa is barreling down on Jamaica. It's the strongest hurricane to hit the Caribbean nation in recorded history.  America's most lethal aircraft carrier off Venezuelan coast Meanwhile, the U.S. Military is sending its most lethal aircraft carrier from European waters into the Caribbean for the ongoing drug war, now heating up somewhere off the shores of Venezuela, reports TheHill.com. The main target for the flurry of activity appears to be Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, whom the Trump administration has called an “illegitimate leader.” Appearing on CBS's Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was asked about possible land strikes in Venezuela. BRENNAN: “Are land strikes planned?” GRAHAM: “Yeah, I think that's a real possibility. I think President Trump's made a decision that [Venezuelan President Nicolás] Maduro, the leader of Venezuela, is an indicted drug trafficker, that it's time for him to go. Venezuela and Colombia have been safe havens for ‘narco terrorists' for too long.” Oil likely will cost less in 2026 America's oil wells are pumping it out.   Chevron CEO Mike Wirth told Fox Business host Maria Bartiroma, that gas prices in 2026 may very well be lower than they were this year. BARTIROMA: “Can you give us a sense of what you would expect for 2026?” WIRTH: “Yeah, I think we see supply growing, particularly from the OPEC-supplying countries, and demand growing steadily. But as this supply comes back, it's weighing on commodity markets. So, we're prepared for prices in ‘26 to be lower than they were in ‘25.” Christian pastors arrested for child p*rn And finally, assorted national news stories report that Christian pastors and leaders have been recently arrested for possession of extreme evil forms of pornography involving children.   Singer and worship leader Jon Paul Sheptock, of First Montgomery Baptist Church, is under arrest, reports the Baptist Press.  The Idaho Statesman reports that the senior pastor at Sovereign Grace Fellowship in Nampa, Idaho was arrested for handling images of a “horrific” nature. Another Baptist youth pastor from Greenville, South Carolina was just sentenced to twenty years for a similar offense. A pastor of the House of Prayer Christian Church in Georgia has been indicted by a federal court for similar offenses. And another former youth pastor at the Southcoast church in Goleta, California has been arrested on related charges. Jeremiah speaks of religious scandals in the churches. The prophet wrote, “My heart within me is broken because of the prophets. . . For the land is full of adulterers; For because of a curse the land mourns. The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up. Their course of life is evil, and their might is not right. “For both prophet and priest are profane; Yes, in My house I have found their wickedness,” says the Lord. I will bring disaster on them, the year of their punishment.” (Jeremiah 23:9-12) Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, October 28th, in the year of our Lord 2025. 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.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Milei's Victory in Argentina, Its Influence on Venezuela, and Trump's Role in Latin America Alejandro Pina Esclusa Alejandro Pina Esclusa discusses how Javier Milei's success in Argentina, fueled by economic growth and a cultural battle against gender ideology and climate alarmism, models a path for the Venezuelan opposition and Latin America's right-wing movements. Milei's victory demonstrates that freedom-focused policies can resonate with voters seeking to escape socialist regimes. Donald Trump's vocal support for Milei helped him gain votes, positioning Trump as an increasingly influential leader across the continent and offering hope to Venezuelan exiles and opposition figures fighting the Maduro regime.

Tara breaks down the latest high-stakes developments in Venezuela, where Senator Lindsey Graham warns that President Nicolás Maduro may face strikes and a potential regime change. The episode examines Trump's robust Monroe Doctrine approach, the role of U.S. carrier strike groups, and Venezuelan public opinion, which overwhelmingly favors U.S. intervention. Tara also exposes Democratic complicity, linking Biden administration actions and FBI involvement to the movement of gangs and drug networks into the U.S., highlighting the broader hemispheric strategy to protect American lives from drug trafficking.

Tara dives into the sweeping U.S. strategy under Trump, tackling criminal smuggling networks, mass deportations, and drug trafficking from China through Venezuela and Colombia. She breaks down shocking DHS numbers, ICE's surge in applications, and the elite law enforcement response. The episode also examines looming U.S. military action in Venezuela, Lindsey Graham's warnings about Maduro, and opposition support from Venezuelan citizens. Tara exposes Democratic complicity, including illegal immigrant access to Medicaid, SNAP benefits, and financial mismanagement, while connecting the crisis to broader national security and fiscal instability.

Tara exposes the truth behind the ongoing government shutdown — Democrats are fighting to protect free “Cadillac” healthcare plans for illegal immigrants while millions of Americans face expiring SNAP benefits and skyrocketing medical costs. From billion-dollar Medicaid fraud to Trump's crackdown on sanctuary states, Tara breaks down how cutting these benefits is driving mass self-deportations. Plus, shocking revelations: New York mayoral frontrunner Zoran Mankami caught fabricating a 9/11 sob story, Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro begging Trump for mercy, and a federal audit revealing 62,000 illegal immigrants with commercial driver's licenses in California.

You think Hamas killed Israelis because they're a bunch of monsters who hate Jews? Of course you do, you're twelve. You think Trump is trying to get rid of Maduro because Maduro is an evil dictator who wants to poison Americans with fentanyl? Hell yeah homie, you're twelve. You think Putin invaded Ukraine because he hates freedom and democracy and wants to conquer the world? Bless your heart my twelve year-old buddy. You think the US and Israel have been attacking and eliminating rivals in Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Palestine in order to fight terrorism, stop tyranny, and protect the world from nuclear weapons? Yeah, that checks out, you're twelve. The mainstream western worldview is like a children's cartoon, with the Bad Guys doing Bad Things simply because they are Bad, and the Good Guys striving heroically to stop them. It sounds like a shitty PG-13 summer blockbuster starring The Rock, but it's the consensus worldview of serious professional pundits and analysts who share this perspective on mainstream platforms with serious expressions on their faces, and anyone who calls any part of it into question is dismissed as an extremist or a deranged crackpot. Because everyone is twelve now. Reading by Tim Foley.

October 26, 2025 7am: The New York Times reports that while plans are not finalized, the ICE proposal stems from frustration from Donald Trump and within the Department of Homeland Security over the pace of deportations, which are lagging behind the President's goal of more than a million at the end of his first year back in office. Meanwhile Democrats are speaking out about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Rep.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro warns US against war, after the Pentagon orders top aircraft carrier to join its campaign against drugs gangs in the Caribbean. We ask what is Trump's endgame in Venezuela. Also in the programme: The difficulties of getting thousands of sick and injured Gazans for urgent medical treatments abroad despite ceasefire; and how a German company made a risky, but pretty funny, advert for itself out of the Louvre jewel heist.

We hear from a man who has been in the city since the start of the conflict. Also in the programme: Research suggests advanced AI systems are resisting attempts to shut them down; and growing tensions in Venezuela as President Maduro accuses the United States of 'fabricating' a new war.(Photo: A ceiling damaged by shelling shrapnel at in El Fasher, Sudan, October 7, 2025.

SHOW 10-23-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1882 BLACK SEA RUSSIAN FLEET THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT A UKRAINE RESOLUTION... FIRST HOUR 9-915 Delayed Budapest Summit and Ukraine Negotiation Sticking Points. Anatol Lieven discusses how negotiations between the US and Russia, including a planned Budapest meeting, are delayed despite some progress on security issues like Trump's position on Ukraine joining NATO. The major sticking point remains Russia's demand that Ukraine withdraw from the rest of the Donbas, which Ukrainian leaders deem politically impossible. While Russia has scaled back some territorial claims, a viable peace settlement likely necessitates a ceasefire along existing lines, coupled with lifting sanctions. Escalation risks remain high due to potential accidental military clashes. 915-930 Delayed Budapest Summit and Ukraine Negotiation Sticking Points.

Michael Bernstam discussed the Trump administration's politically significant sanctions targeting Russia's two largest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, affecting 56% of Russian output. The sanctions caused world oil prices to jump temporarily and elicited an immediate angry response from Putin, who called it an "unfriendly act." The primary financial impact on Russia will be much deeper discounts demanded by buyers, significantly hurting the Russian budget. Europe is meanwhile nearing liberation from Russian energy dependence due to abundant US liquefied natural gas (LNG). 945-1000 UN Cyber Crime Treaty: Authoritarian Assault on Free Speech. Ivana Stradner discussed the controversial UN Cyber Crime Treaty, which she argues is an assault on international rule of law spearheaded by Russia and China. The treaty is feared because it enables digital authoritarianism, censorship, and surveillance by potentially forcing companies to grant government access to private data and share user information globally. The US should reject ratification and defer to the Budapest Convention, relying instead on powerful offensive and defensive cyber capabilities for deterrence.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Robert McNamara: From WWII Statistical Control to Kennedy's Star. Professor William Taubman detailed Robert McNamara's rise, beginning as a statistician in WWII advising General Curtis LeMay on firebombing techniques, a success McNamara later regretted as potentially criminal. After becoming president of Ford, he reluctantly joined JFK's administration as Secretary of Defense. McNamara's brilliance and efficiency led Kennedy to admire him as the cabinet's star, even considering him for vice president in 1964 and the presidential candidate in 1968. 1115-1130 Robert McNamara: From WWII Statistical Control to Kennedy's Star.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 The AI Infrastructure Gold Rush and Europe's Absence. Chris Riegel discusses how the AI revolution is driving a feverish rush to build large data centers (one gigawatt or better), though energy access is a critical choke point that may cause conflict between commercial demand and normal consumers by summer 2026. This intense global competition, likened to a gold rush, is primarily a two-horse race between the US and China. Europe is largely sitting out the advanced AI development wave, which is considered a tactical mistake that may leave them reliant on American or Chinese technology. 1215-1230        CBP Admits Fake Record Used to Jail Bolsonaro Advisor in Brazil. Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses how US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) admitted an erroneous entry record was created and used by Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes to jail Felipe Martins, an advisor to former President Bolsonaro. De Moraes used the apparently fake I-94 document, which contained a misspelling and a canceled passport number, to hold Martins for 183 days to extract information about an alleged coup plot. The unprecedented CBP admission confirms a file violation and suggests ongoing malfeasance. 1230-1245 US Accelerates Moon Race Against China. Rick Fisher and David Livingston discuss how the US moon race is accelerating, driven by President Trump's demand to land on the moon by 2028 and concerns that China, using the Long March 10 booster, might get there by 2029. Interim NASA Director Sean Duffy reopened the lunar lander contract, previously held by SpaceX's Starship, to Blue Origin and potentially Lockheed Martin, seeking multiple pathways. The Chinese space program is viewed as a strategic maneuver aimed at distracting the US from other global conflicts. 1245-100 AM US Accelerates Moon Race Against China.

Since the start of September, President Donald Trump has ordered a series of lethal strikes on boats in the Caribbean Sea, killing dozens of people. His administration has justified the attacks by accusing the boats of carrying drugs. But, we're more than two months in, and we still haven't seen any substantial evidence that the people killed were involved in trafficking narcotics. Meanwhile, Trump appears to be focused on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and last week, Trump acknowledged he authorized the CIA to conduct covert operations in Venezuela. So, to talk more about Venezuela and the legality- or lack thereof- of the Trump administration's ongoing campaign in the Caribbean Sea, we spoke with Tess Bridgeman, co-editor-in-chief of Just Security and Senior Fellow and Visiting Scholar at the Reiss Center on Law and Security at NYU School of Law. She previously served as Special Assistant to the President, Associate Counsel to the President, and Deputy Legal Adviser to the National Security Council (NSC), and at the U.S. State Department in the Office of the Legal Adviser.And in headlines, Vice President JD Vance visits Israel as Hamas continues to return the bodies of hostages, ICE recruits are going up against fitness testing, and the government is as shutdown as ever.Show Notes:Check out Tess's work – justsecurity.org/author/bridgemantess/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
