Dr. Muriam Haleh Davis unravels how the French colonial state weaponized Islam as a racial category to structure economic inequalities. The conversation expands into the enduring legacy of Frantz Fanon, exploring the complex dynamics of national liberation and third-world revolutionary aspirations.

Steve Schmidt sits down with retired U.S. Naval aviator and combat correspondent Ken Harbaugh, straight from his reporting on the frontlines in Ukraine. Ken shares harrowing, firsthand accounts and deep strategic insights that mainstream cable news rarely covers: The 20-mile “death zone” and drone warfare: Inside the lethal frontline corridor where kamikaze drones make any surface movement nearly impossible — and why rotating troops has become the single most dangerous evolution of modern combat. The “iron sarcophagus:” The ingenious, harrowing Ukrainian-engineered armored capsule designed to crawl across mine-strewn kill zones to evacuate wounded soldiers when all conventional armored vehicles fail. The true toll and Russia’s manpower crisis: An unfiltered look at the staggering 1.4 million estimated Russian casualties, the recruitment of foreign fighters and North Korean troops, and the contrast between Ukraine’s fight to preserve lives versus Russia’s doctrine of mass attrition. Global ramifications and U.S. leadership: How the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are directly connected through Russian intelligence sharing, alongside an unflinching critique of Pentagon leadership, military accountability, and what’s at stake for American democracy.

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – The opportunity is real. Iraq could evolve into a regional hub that weakens Iran's leverage and offers a different model for the Middle East.

No SciCast dessa semana convidamos a Profa. Monique Sochaczewski para conversar sobre a história de um país construído sobre a negação do próprio passado (e do que acontece quando esse passado volta). Do colapso do Império Otomano e da tutela europeia do século XIX às reformas radicais de Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, que trocou o alfabeto, a lei, a capital e até a chamada à oração; dos golpes militares e da Guerra Fria à ascensão de Recep Tayyip Erdoğan e ao chamado neo-otomanismo, com suas pontes, suas séries e novelas de TV, sua diplomacia e a reconversão da Ayasofya. Entenda por que a Turquia é ao mesmo tempo membro da OTAN e candidata eterna à União Europeia, por que Brasília e Ancara mediaram juntas a crise nuclear iraniana, e por que o Império Otomano nunca deixou de ser um assunto de política externa. Kemalismo, laicidade, Diyanet, questão curda, Primavera Árabe, golpe de 2016, Ayasofya, neo-otomanismo e pan-turquismo. Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

This week we're traveling around the region, moving from the Red Sea to the Balkans.While the Iran war has disrupted energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, the world's attention shifted to another major global chokepoint at the mouth of the Red Sea this past week, the Bab-el Mandeb Strait, as Iran-backed Houthi rebels tighten their grip over this strategic maritime route and threaten Saudi Arabia's oil exports.With the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab-el Mandeb Strait under threat, the world is bracing for a potential squeeze on oil prices, while the US appears to be sitting this one out, so far declining to intervene on Saudi Arabia's behalf.The Houthi attacks are also the first test for the new Mecca Agreement, the defense pact between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. While all eyes are on the Red Sea, tensions have been quietly brewing in the Aegean, where Turkey is once again ramping up its provocations. We've seen Turkey engage in new airspace violations, provoke with the announcement of controversial marine parks, slam Greece's recent defense deal with Israel as an attempt to “encircle” Turkey, and this week Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan absurdly called Greece's defense of its Aegean islands a “threat”.Looking to Greece's north, the Western Balkans are coming under the spotlight again after Serbia's President Alexandar Vucic, who has been in power as ‌president or prime minister for 12 years, dissolved parliament and called for snap elections in October. Serbia has been rocked by student-led protests and political turmoil over the last two years, and demands for accountability and change are widespread. This is also raising questions about the EU's commitment to fully integrate the Western Balkans, an effort that has lost momentum over the past years. Could this be an opportunity to use its leverage to promote reform and the resolution of bilateral issues? Some experts think it may be.Aaron David Miller, Constantinos Filis, and James Ker-Lindsay join Thanos Davelis this week as we look into all of these developments, exploring what they mean for Greece and the wider region.A little more info on our guests:Aaron David Miller is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and expert on the Middle East.Constantinos Filis is an associate professor at the American College of Greece and director of its Institute of Global Affairs.Professor James Ker-Lindsay is an expert on the EU, the Balkans, and Southeast Europe.You can support The Greek Current by joining HALC as a member here.

What kind of people would dance in the streets after the 9/11 terrorist attack that killed upwards of 3,000 people? The same ones who have now become elevated martyrs by large swaths of the Global Left: the Palestinians.Katie Couric, like most mainstream journalists back then, had no problem exposing such monstrous behavior by those fed a steady diet of dehumanization of the American people. Would she do it today? No. Would any of them do it today? No.Who would celebrate the live execution of a prominent activist on the Right, so much so that they'd lose their jobs for exposing what sociopaths they really are? Hundreds, if not thousands, on the Left did just that. Radicalized or mainstream, it didn't matter. They have become what the Palestinians were back then: so propagandized and radicalized, they've lost their humanity.You can see it now in those TikTok videos that have turned “When it Happens” into a viral trend. That's what ten years of dehumanizing can do to otherwise decent people. They say they're decent, but TikTok proves otherwise.They have cast themselves as morally superior to the other half of the country and would point to how some on the Right mocked George Floyd after his death in 2020. But the difference is that many prominent Republicans like Ted Cruz instantly condemned it. No Democrat has condemned the mockery and the celebration of Charlie's death. Oh sure, they all said what they had to say: the standard “violence has no place in our politics.” They said it, but did they mean it? How could they if they've never condemned the rising cult-like fantasies of Trump's death and the celebration of Charlie's execution?If anything, the Democrats were more worried Charlie's influence would grow, so they sent out their One True King, Barack Obama, to put Charlie's legacy in context.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did the same thing, acting as though what Charlie said - the cherry-picked, out-of-context quotes fed to them- was worse than their own side mocking and celebrating his murder. His words were worse than his death.But that is who they are now. Speech is violence. Speech is hate. Speech must be tightly monitored and controlled. Is assassinating Charlie Kirk or trying to assassinate Donald Trump any different from the Jihadists who mass-murdered journalists at Charlie Hebdo in Paris for blasphemy against Mohammad? Hasan Piker, aka the “Twitch streamer in California,” like Dean Withers, condemned those who made jokes of Charlie's death. At least at first. Once Piker sensed the vacuum left in Charlie's absence, he turned his death into a viral meme just a month or so later. Credit to Axios' Alex Thompson for pressing him to explain it.Piker's song became a TikTok dance meme and a permission structure for many to showcase themselves as dead-eyed zombies dancing to the sound of the bullet hitting his neck a year later for the “Kirkaversary.”Utopias only have two paths forward. They either collapse or they become more authoritarian. The Left still hasn't confronted the radical elements on their side, not just Hasan Piker, but the many shooters who have risen up to become martyrs and heroes.They mock, they meme, but underneath it all, as with Al-Qaeda or other radical Islamic groups, what motivates them is pure hatred. Words are violence. Words are hatred, and “some hate can't be negotiated out.” They can laugh it off all they want, but they've left a paper trail.Turning Point put up a Charlie Kirk statue, and it was immediately vandalized.If they can meme a live execution and feel nothing, then why wouldn't they see America as bad or worse than Al-Qaeda? The oppressor/oppressed indoctrination factory that is public schools and universities has raised them in the good/evil binary. Video games, IP, and superhero movies all adopted that binary, and after Columbine and 9/11, parents like me shut our kids indoors to keep them safe, and this good/evil binary would one day become white people evil, brown people good, and Al-Qaeda, like the Palestinians, can't be seen as the villains. Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani have arisen as cult leaders almost because there is nothing the Left will hold them accountable for, lest they be called racists. No one will look at El-Sayed's erased history, the videos or the tweets. What did he think? What does he still think? No one will know because no one would dare ask.The Democrats have never been held accountable for the sharp rise of radicalized violence and death fantasies that have gone mainstream. They're rewarded for it with likes and reposts. They've never confronted it. They've never solved it, and the legacy media has supported them every step of the way, all the while demonizing MAGA as the more extreme side. Piker was their masculine, patriarchal, non-white Joe Rogan. No more Mr. Nice Guy! Let's get those Gen-Z and male voters. That was the plan anyway. Now, maybe it's becoming a mess, a liability. Then again, maybe not. Maybe this is just who they are now. How We Got HereI know how we got here because I grew up on the Left. I was one of these people. I know what it felt like that day the towers were hit. I know why we pivoted so quickly to focus on the greater evil that was George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and those two wars that did what the war on Gaza has now done: flip the script, so America is the bad guy.I know what happened in our schools. I know how women like me grew in power in America and changed our society amid the “Great Feminization.” I know what happened to my daughter's generation, why so many white kids felt such deep shame they were willing to do anything to escape their own skin, even destroying their own bodies at the hands of a fundamentalist cult.I know what it was like when Obama won and how we built our utopia - a better America shaped by more women and what it was like when our first female president was denied the win but just barely, putting in power a guy who would ultimately redeem Bush and Cheney and be sold as the World's Greatest Evil to whole generations for the past ten years.We were just kidding with Bush and Cheney. Trump is the really, really bad guy. And everyone went along with it. Maybe I didn't think it would go so far as young men picking up weapons to murder as part of the “resistance.” Maybe I didn't think, in the wake of Charlie's death, a guy like Hasan Piker would become such an influential voice and do exactly the opposite of what Charlie did by teaching young people to hate America.But that's what happens when a utopia becomes a totalitarian dystopia, closer to fascism than this country has ever gotten and not that far from where Al-Qaeda was on the eve of 9/11 - so full of hate and revenge fantasies that they would take advantage of the same people who welcomed them into their country and treated them with kindness. I certainly would not have thought any of them, let alone most of them, would see the war in Gaza as “genocide” and then apply that to all of America and its history, redeeming the monsters who attacked us on 9/11. We're the bad guys, they insist. We're the terrorists.But here we are, America. We are about to put these people who hate this country, its history, and many of its citizens, in power. We're about to sell out the American dream because of high gas prices.It's not lost on me that Democrats have been saying the same thing to their voters. I was one of them. I see the mirror image of this moment: when gas prices and inflation were too high under Biden, Democrats begged Americans to vote for Kamala to save the country. I know they see it that way too.But I've been on both sides. I know each side's strengths and weaknesses. And that's why I know the side that either celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk or said nothing about those who did is the side that is dangerous not just for America but for humanity.President SelectMy daughter was just three when the towers were hit. It was three hours early in California. My French boyfriend at the time had a habit of waking up with CNN, and there it was. Smoke billowing out of one of the towers at the World Trade Center. “Turn on the news,” I told my friend that day. It took us all a while to figure out who did it and why, and the first thing that happened was everyone felt fear that Muslims would be attacked. Even George W. Bush felt it necessary to say Islam is peace. And it's true, not all Muslims- like it's true, not all people on the Left but you have to condemn the radicalized, or else they consume the whole.We were still haunted by the Japanese Internment camps after the Pearl Harbor attack, which took us to World War II. We didn't want to be that America, not us progressive liberals. We were the good guys. The 2000 election left us bitter and unable to accept that Bush was legitimately elected. And that mattered more to us than the tragedy on 9/11. It had to, because Bush was the president, so everything had to go not just wrong but catastrophically wrong - the wars, Wall Street, Katrina. We were making our own reality even back then because we could. In 2004, Michael Moore released Fahrenheit 911, which began with the premise that the 2000 election had been stolen. The villain of Fahrenheit 9/11 was the Commander in Chief, and much was made of this moment, when he heard of the attacks and people like me nodded furiously along. We knew who the bad guys were, and they weren't Al-Qaeda.And in 2003, just two years after 9/11, when Michael Moore accepted the Oscar for Bowling for Columbine, he was booed, with a part of the Left with their perspective still intact. Needless to say, that wouldn't happen now. We were beginning a new origin story, one where the worst people in the world were put in power by the Supreme Court and Big Oil. We weren't quite at the place where we would divide and measure goodness by skin color or gender, but we weren't far off. We just needed a leader to believe in.And as our hero rose in the form of a “skinny kid with a funny name,” we began to find marginalized groups as our protected, sacred symbols because of our love and devotion to Barack Obama.Just as our first black President became our savior, our villain was rising too. It was Sarah Palin and her demonization of Radical Islamic Terror. That, we knew, made her a “racist” and a villain.In 2012, she was depicted as a paranoid idiot whose bigotry clouded her judgment in Game Change.The Tea Party had already been cast as a “white power” movement to thwart its growth, even if by 2016 it would elect a president with the help of Charlie Kirk.By 2012, we were a bitterly divided country with the Left deciding its enemies were not the brown people in the Middle East but rather the homegrown racists in our own country. We began to slowly separate ourselves from them. Whatever unity we felt after 9/11 vanished. That same year, Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty was released about the killing of Bin Laden. But the movie had no heroes. The final scene is brutal and haunting, full of children screaming and women crying. The main character, whose life had been devoted to hunting Bin Laden, is left shaken and alone with the thought lingering in the air: what was it all for? Hardly the rousing moment of heroism we would expect when America won. Game Change and Zero Dark Thirty were pure propaganda for the Democrats and the beginning of how we stopped seeing America as the hero after 9/11.Not that America anymoreAfter 9/11, some questioned whether the Oscars would be held at all. Tom Cruise took to the stage and spoke to all of America, not just the blue half. He wanted to bring this country together, and that, he said, is what movies are for. Remember that Hollywood? Remember that America?After Charlie Kirk's live execution, the cowards in Hollywood didn't even have the courage to say his name at the Oscars or the Emmys, and still don't. That shows you how divided we are, how scared they are, how they see their enemies as half the country, and how their deaths do not matter. I think what hurts the most, watching so many of the 9/11 videos as I've been doing, is seeing and remembering when it was like back then, when we were one America, how everyone came through, how we held together, how so many ordinary people became heroes to help those who were trapped, many of them giving their lives for others.Mothers lost sons and daughters. Wives lost husbands. 40% of those who were killed are still unaccounted for. It doesn't seem like we've ever really come to terms with the tragedy of that day because, in its aftermath, the keepers of culture could not make America the hero. But America was, and remains, the hero fighting the good fight. It's the better fight, for a better world, even if I didn't realize it until 25 years later. Now I see it. Now I understand because now I can see what dehumanization and radicalization can do. Here is a clip from Triggernometry and guest Richard Miniter (watch the whole thing, it's great). I finally watched The Great Boatlift - the largest sea rescue in history - where so many New Yorkers volunteered their boats to rescue 500,000 people off the Island of Manhattan. In these videos, I see the America I remember, the one I fled 30 years ago to spend the rest of my life online. I miss that America, the one that believed in our collective goodness, not the one where one side took all of the power and abused that power by seeing the other half of the country as their enemy.And worse, became radicalized to the point of violence, to the point of mocking the assassinated and believing they have no other choice but to wish for the death of their president, in video after video after video. 9/10 and 9/11 will come back to us every year to remind us of what is great about this country and what is trying to destroy this country. Every year, we will be forced to stare evil in the face and fight for the forces of good standing in its way. Godspeed, America. Godspeed.. This is a public episode.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles examine Donald Trump's growing political troubles as rising prices, escalating tensions in the Middle East, and his own economic policies threaten to make affordability his biggest liability ahead of the midterms. They discuss Trump's pressure on the Federal Reserve, the consequences of his tariffs and war policies, and why his administration's approach may be fueling the very problems he claims he wants to solve. Plus, Melania Trump's surprising enthusiasm for AI, the latest turmoil at the Kennedy Center, and the court's refusal to let Trump put his name on the building. They also take a closer look at Kash Patel's purge of senior FBI agents, the changing standards for joining the bureau, and Lee Greenwood's wife's nomination as ambassador to Barbados. As Trump surrounds himself with loyalists and pushes aside voices that might challenge him, Michael and Joanna consider whether his own decision-making is setting the stage for a political reckoning. #ad Ready to reach your goals?

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: The Republican brand has become so toxic that even ancient conservative Fox hosts Stuart Varney and Larry Kudlow are being forced to acknowledge the party's lies and incompetence heading into the midterms. David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect and co-host of the Organized Money podcast, joins to recap the week's news. Topics discussed include the midterms, AI regulation and more. In the Fun Half: Lina Khan speaks to The Atlantic about how AI companies are already subject to regulation and laws and how that seems to be absent from the conversation around these companies. Alex Karp gives a bizarre interview on CNBC that is too incoherent to be summarized. Mehdi Hasan asks Nancy Mace if she was drunk when she posted an AI image of her and Donald Trump on the same day the president endorsed her opponent. The polling in Kansa, Iowa, Idaho, Texas and more suggests that even the Republicans in the deep-red states are not going to have an easy election this midterm. Ben Shapiro is very defensive over the critic's reaction to his new racist ISIS movie. CNN reports that a military intelligence report derived from false information from ChatGPT almost led to an act of war against a Chinese vessel in the Middle East. all that and more.

Many people in Europe think the Moroccan government was involved in the large border crossing in July, when almost 80,000 people entered Ceuta, Spain's North African enclave. Morocco denies this. Also, in Turkey, the prime minister has ordered police to crack down on LGBTQ+ communities in Istanbul, leading to many raids and arrests under obscenity laws to “protect families.” Syria once had one of the biggest bee populations in the Middle East, but only a small number survived the civil war that started in 2011. Now, local farmers are working to bring them back. Plus, an Australian company is producing fire-resistant bras and menstrual briefs. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Congress has left the building — for two months. No AI legislation, no check on an Iran war the American people never signed up for, no oversight while Trump threatens Cuba, threatens Greenland, watches the Fed raise rates, and lets his son throw a Russian-funded wedding party. Trump sits at 19% approval. J.D. Vance and Pete Hegseth are already jockeying to succeed him. Republicans are scrubbing him from their own ads. And the Democrats aren't exactly filling the vacuum. That's the opening for independents — and Paul Rieckhoff lays out exactly where the movement is building, from Brian Bengs in South Dakota to Dan Osborn in Nebraska to Seth Bodnar in Montana to Todd Achilles in Idaho. Then Paul goes below the radar on the Ed Sheeran / Macklemore / Bob Kraft blowup he witnessed live at MetLife Stadium — a Free Palestine chant that split a family-friendly crowd and now has Macklemore dropped from Gillette Stadium dates. It's a window into where most Americans actually sit on Israel and Gaza: not neutral, not extreme, but exhausted with blank checks and demanding the leaders of both sides stop bombing kids. Paul closes with Football Friday — college and NFL picks, a shout to Audioslave, and a message from his New York City Lions youth team: love one another.

Walter Sterling takes listeners on an unpredictable, wide-ranging journey through classified secrets, geopolitical crises, and late-night oddities on The Other Side of Midnight.Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart reveals an impending release of classified 1952 UAP files, including a secret reel-to-reel recording of Project Blue Book's head briefing military scientists Legendary voiceover artist Robert Clotworthy (Ancient Aliens, The Curse of Oak Island) drops in to talk high-end German studio microphones and strange discoveries on Oak Island. Analyst Edward Jones tackles rising fuel costs and Middle East maritime chokepoints, while researcher Guy Anderson explores the historical mysteries of the lost Tartarian Empire and suppressed free-energy architecture. Wrapped up with retired NYPD detective Vic Ferrari's academy confessions, Steve the Baker's Biscoff cake secrets, WhatsApp cheater settings, and classic Florida Stories, this episode covers everything happening after dark.

In this hour, investigative journalist Ross Coulthart drops an exclusive leak about imminent declassified UAP files and a historic 1952 Project Blue Book briefing tape delivered to elite MIT scientists. Next, voiceover legend Robert Clotworthy (Ancient Aliens, The Curse of Oak Island) breaks down his high-end German microphone setup and hidden island treasures, followed by Middle East expert Edward Jones analyzing spiking diesel prices and Houthi maritime choke points. Rounding out the show, film critic Matias Bombal reviews Angelina Jolie's Without Blood, while Walter dives into NYPD detective tales of baby formula theft, interdimensional alien theories, and why his radio Hall of Fame snub might trace back to unplugged headphones.

Edward Jones breaks down how Middle East conflict hits home at the gas pump. Jones details how rising kitchen-table expenses—including record-high $6.40/gallon diesel—are tied directly to overseas turmoil. The discussion delves into critical maritime chokepoints termed "the two throats"—the Strait of Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb—and how Houthi strikes on Saudi oil infrastructure give Iran strategic leverage while straining U.S. defensive resources. .

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher speak to Astra Taylor and Naomi Klein about their new book, End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World. A remarkably up to date analysis of our present moment of "messianic" wars in the Middle East and Silicon Valley's go-for broke investment in AI and space travel, the book looks at the shared narrative that unites a coalition of evangelical Christians, tech bros, the Trump administration and right-wing governments across the world. In all of these factions, Klein and Taylor identify a core belief: the apocalypse is actually desirable. Rather than try to solve the very real threats of our time, fallout would be beneficial for the powerful, who could take shelter in their bunkers, or on their islands, or on Mars. Taylor and Klein, however, find hope in the already growing movement against AI data centers, the weakening support of Trump's base, and the mayoral run of Zohran Mamadani, whose joyful campaign they call the antithesis of fascism.  

Are we seeing an unbelievable double standard or a master plan? We dive deep into the mind-boggling decision to approve UN visas for Iranian leadership—the very same regime linked to foreign attacks, plot scandals, and severe human rights violations. Why is this happening after years of outrage? From the controversial moves on the international stage to shocking financial ties involving Jared Kushner's billions and Don Jr.'s funds, we connect the dots, ask the hard-hitting questions, and break down what this means for the midterms and foreign policy!

Has Trump drawn the U.S. into another endless war in the Middle East? Or can Washington and Tehran find a way out?

Why do comedians so often see the culture more clearly than the people paid to cover it? Chris Cuomo sits down with three of the sharpest comedic minds working today for conversations that go well past the jokes — about what's really happening in media, money, and what you're still allowed to say. Tim Dillon (comedian and podcast host, "The Tim Dillon Show") argues that cancel culture burned out because ideological purity is exhausting — and that the real credibility crisis belongs to the "expert" class, who failed on everything from Iraq to the pandemic and lost the public's trust. He and Cuomo get into why audiences now reward authenticity over corporate media, and why "agreeable nihilism" became the American mood. Adam Friedland (comedian and podcast host, "The Adam Friedland Show") gets honest about money and precarity — the middle-class squeeze that politics ignores while catering to the extremes — and how he taught himself the craft of interviewing by studying Howard Stern and leaning into self-deprecation. It's a look at ambition, purpose, and why he stopped coasting. Max Amini (comedian and actor, @MaxAmini) breaks down where the real red lines in comedy are — why fear holds artists back, why authenticity always wins out, and how he navigates what can and can't be said performing across wildly different cultures, from America to the Middle East.

Russia is quietly feeding Iran the intelligence it needs to kill American service members, the munitions stockpile the administration swears is full is demonstrably empty, and the sailors on the USS Lincoln haven't seen their commander in chief set foot on the deck. Meanwhile the president's son is accepting gifts from a foreign "close friend," the attorney general is running interference instead of investigations, and the Iran war is now polling worse than the data centers inside MAGA itself. This is a media blitz episode — Paul Rieckhoff stitching together the sharpest moments from four national cable hits in eight hours into one no-BS conversation about what's actually breaking in America right now. From the Pentagon to the Fed, from Cash Patel to Lane Kiffin, Paul draws the line between war profiteering and college football's booster-collective gold rush — and asks the same question of both: who's protecting the workers, the players, the troops? He lays out why the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs may be the last adult in the room, why 25 years of war have hollowed out recruiting and retention, and why the populist streak in this country is ready to snap over rich men partying in the Bahamas while working-class kids get shipped to the Middle East.

Former Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates, now the VP of the Heritage Foundation, joins Sid to expand on her calls for a "full reset" of U.S. energy policy after Iran conflict, how President Donald Trump's blockade has built leverage against the Iranian regime, and President Trump warning that over-regulating artificial intelligence could hand China a competitive edge - arguing that the United States must avoid overburdening tech companies with new bureaucracy while maintaining safety standards to secure its economic leadership.

In this episode, Stephen Herreid steps in as guest host on the show. His best is none other than Jason Jones himself calling in from the Texas Hill country. Together they explore the challenges faced by Christian communities in the Holy Land, the influence of media and political pressure on our calling to practice our faith, and the importance of standing with the vulnerable even when society and our allies may not. They discuss the tactics used to silence advocacy, our role of faith in confronting evil, and the cultural pressures that threaten Christian identity. Jason and Stephen explore the power of love, empathy, and practical action in addressing global conflicts, human suffering, and the importance in empathy. Jason shares an inspiring stories from Gaza, Lebanon, and beyond, emphasizing the importance of humanizing others and acting with compassion in the face of conflict. Jason shares Saint Francis's story of interfaith dialog and evangelicalism through empathy in the Middle East during a time of war.

Many of the qualities of high-control Christianity--spiritual warfare, fascistic tendencies, the desire to bring on the end times through war in the Middle East, Christian persecution complex, refusal to follow societal norms, demons--were there at the beginning, date to very specific times in the Church's early history, and threatened Roman society in a way surprisingly similar to how they're threatening ours now.

Joining Gaslit Nation this week, Jack Cocchiarella—the Gen Z political commentator, host of The Jack Cocchiarella Show, and future ambassador to Italy under the most progressive White House the world has ever seen—argues that despair, not ideology, is the true driving force behind America's Gen Z vs. nihilism crisis. Andrea and Jack discuss the radicalization of young men who feel they lack a sense of belonging or purpose; the ways New York City Council Member Zohran Mamdani—whom Jack interviewed early in his campaign when he had no chance of winning—embodies the ideal role model for Gen Z men today; the weird and creepy love affair between MAGA cultist Natalie Harp and convicted felon/cult leader Donald Trump; how the Democrats can start being ruthless and stop playing by the book when the book is on fire; why cryptocurrency lobbyists in Congress are the "controlled opposition"; Trump's plan to hole up in a ballroom-bunker to escape the people whose lives he's destroying; and the progressive case for supporting Ukraine against fascist Russia.

P.M. Edition for Sept. 16. The Federal Reserve unanimously decided to raise interest rates a quarter percentage point today, its first rate hike in three years. WSJ economics reporter Matt Grossman discusses what went into that decision, what it means for the Fed's relationship with President Trump and what to expect from the Fed's future meetings this year. Plus, Yemen's Tehran-backed Houthi rebels claimed they shot down a Saudi fighter jet. We hear from the Journal's deputy Middle East bureau chief Jon Gambrell about how the Houthis recently seized Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a crucial oil chokepoint, after sitting out months of the Iran war. And business leaders are taking sides in the debate around AI regulation—mostly in opposition to President Trump. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.
