l señor José Gómez Canaan, que tiene una agresiva campaña de relaciones públicas, sorprendió a muchos con una aplicación de inteligencia artificial que presentó como un arma en la lucha contra la corrupción  avalada por por un equipo técnico del Departamento de Eficiencia Gubernamental de EStados Unidos (Si,el mismo que dirige Elon Musk)el acto con la misma rimbombancia que cuando el señor Gmez invitó a Mike Pompeo se realizó en el salón Gran Piantini, del JW Marriott, en Blue Mall, fue el escenario donde se celebró la conferencia “El nuevo orden del poder: gobernanza e inteligencia artificial”, la cual, según la invitación recibida el pasado viernes, prometía contar con la participación de Donald Trump Jr., el primogénito del magnate y 45.º y 47.º presidente de Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, no fue visto en el evento.Quien sí estuvo fue el consultor político y ex asesor de TRump el señor Robert Stone, que dijo que quería que la citada aplicación hiciera por el país lo mismo que ha hecho DOGE por los EStados Unidos. Que conste que he buscado el vínculo de Stone con DOGE y el mentado Elon Musk y no lo había encontrado.A pesar de la rimbombancia del acto, los periódicos no le diero mucho espacio aunque alguna página colocó la nota donde el abogado Carlos Balcacer recomienda al Estado Dominicano acercarse al empresario Gomez Canaan para aprovechar su iniciativa.Lo curioso es que los medios que no publicaron el acto de Gomez Canaan le han dado cancha abierta a la declaración de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos desligandose del actor y de la aplicación.El señor Robert Stone que fue el unico protagonista del acto y que argumento poco en su presentación más alla de recomendar que el producto fuera usado por gobierno y ciudadania consiguió lo que no pudo con el acto con una publicación de twitter en la que aseguró que Estados Unidos investiga a varios funcionarios dominicanos.Que el gobierno gringo o entidades del gobierno gringo investiguen a alguien en RD no sería una rareza aunque consiguió lo que el acto no pudo que fue espacio en los medios grandes. El problema del señor Stone es que su tuit, que le salió del alma y de sus profundas preocupaciones de la vida dominicana, tiene  varias incongruencias.La que más llama la atención es que su denuncia vincula a un ex embajador norteamericano de la administración Biden con servidores o funcionarios públicos sujetos de una investigación por el departamento de justicia de los Estados Unidos.Sucede que Biden no designó embajador en RD, que la última embajadora titular, Robin Bernstein, fue designada por Trump y por si acaso el encargado de negocios que hizo el roll de embajador en ausencia del titular era el mismo que cuando Bernstein estaba en el cargo.“Ciertos funcionarios en la República Dominicana y en EE. UU. están desesperados por desviar la atención del hecho de que un nuevo programa de inteligencia artificial que investiga el despilfarro, el fraude y la corrupción, ha determinado que el exembajador de EE. UU. en la República Dominicana bajo la administración de Biden, junto con varios funcionarios dominicanos, están siendo investigados por el Departamento de Justicia de los Estados Unidos”,Cuanto habrá costado ese tuit?

Former Utah Gov. Gary Herbert joined former CIA Director and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday at the Crossroads of the World International Trade Summit.The two shared a wide-ranging discussion on trade, immigration, and global power dynamics.The invite-only event, sponsored by Zions Bank and World Trade Center Utah, focused heavily on international trade and ongoing tariff negotiations with the Trump White House. Leaders from around the globe gathered in Salt Lake City to explore Utah's growing influence on the international stage.Pompeo, who supports President Donald Trump, said he remains concerned about the long-term impact of tariffs.“President Trump hasn't been clear about his overall strategic objective here,” he said, referring to the escalating trade measures involving nearly every major economy.Herbert said Utah is well-positioned to navigate trade challenges on a state level, but acknowledged the uncertainty is troubling.He also touched on divisions within the Republican Party, especially over trade, noting there are many in the GOP who support Trump but disagree with some of his economic policies.Herbert said his conversation with Pompeo also included discussions on Israel, Russia, China, and other global powers. The two also shared perspectives on U.S. immigration policy, an issue Herbert says Congress has failed to seriously address.“What happens, unfortunately, in my view, is we have too many in Congress setting aside solving a problem as a top priority to getting re-elected as the number one priority — and then they get re-elected, but the people suffer,” Herbert said.On border security, Herbert stressed the need for a “working door” to allow legal entry after the border is secured. He also defended Utah's reputation as a welcoming state, referencing the Utah Compact, a set of principles focused on humane and practical immigration reform.When asked directly whether Utah has become a sanctuary state, Herbert was clear: “Utah is not a sanctuary state.”The former governor also highlighted the work of the Herbert Institute, which is currently focused on researching the use of artificial intelligence in Utah businesses.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ngày 12/04/2025 vừa qua, tức hơn hai tháng kể từ khi Donald Trump trở lại nắm quyền, Iran và Mỹ quyết định nối lại đàm phán để tìm cách đạt được thỏa thuận về một loạt các vấn đề đang khiến căng thẳng song phương có thể biến thành chiến tranh, trong đó căn bản nhất là chương trình hạt nhân quân sự của Iran. Vì sao Mỹ và Iran nhanh chóng nối lại đàm phán ? Đây là lần đầu tiên Mỹ và Iran khởi sự đàm phán kể từ năm 2018, tức là từ khi nước Mỹ - trong nhiệm kỳ Donald Trump đầu tiên - đơn phương rút hỏi Hiệp định về hạt nhân Iran, gọi tắt là JCPOA, ký kết năm 2015 giữa Iran và sáu cường quốc (Mỹ, Anh, Pháp, Đức, Trung Quốc và Nga), với nội dung chủ yếu là dỡ bỏ các trừng phạt quốc tế đổi lấy việc Iran ngừng chương trình phát triển hạt nhân quân sự.Đàm phán vừa được mở lại thông qua trung gian của quốc gia vùng Trung Cận Đông Oman, do Mỹ và Iran đã cắt đứt quan hệ ngoại giao từ 45 năm nay sau cuộc cách mạng Hồi Giáo. Quan điểm của lãnh tụ tối cao Iran là bác bỏ việc đàm phán trực tiếp với Mỹ.Chương trình tên lửa đạn đạo, hay chính sách của Iran đối với các lực lượng vũ trang thân Teheran trong khu vực, mà Mỹ và Israel lo ngại được Iran sử dụng để chống lại các lợi ích của mình tại khu vực, có thể là nội dung của các thương thuyết mà Mỹ muốn gây sức ép để buộc Iran phải có các nhân nhượng. Tuy nhiên, chương trình vũ khí hạt nhân của Iran được coi là điểm then chốt. Trong một phát biểu trên The Wall Street Journal, tổng thống Donald Trump nhấn mạnh « lằn ranh đỏ » của Washington là Iran không được « quân sự hóa năng lực hạt nhân ». Về phần mình, Ali Shamkhani, một cố vấn của thủ lĩnh tối cao Iran, giáo chủ Ali Khamenei, khẳng định : Iran tham gia đàm phán không nhằm mục tiêu « xây dựng hình ảnh », mà hy vọng đạt được « một thỏa thuận nghiêm túc và công bằng ».Trump có thể đã rút được bài học thất bại của nhiệm kỳ đầuTrong một cuộc trả lời phỏng vấn RFI vào thời điểm Iran và Mỹ mở lại đàm phán, ông Thierry Coville, nhà nghiên cứu tại Viện Quan hệ quốc tế và Chiến lược IRIS (Institut des Relations internationales et stratégiques), tác giả cuốn « Iran, une puissance en mouvement » (Nxb Eyrolles), nhận định có thể chính bài học được rút ra từ thất bại trong nhiệm kỳ đầu tiên, khi đơn phương rút khỏi thỏa thuận đã khiến tổng thống Trump nhanh chóng nối lại đàm phán với Iran :« Có thể giả định rằng, mặc dù Trump không thể nói ra nhưng ông đã nhận ra mình đã phạm một sai lầm lớn khi rút khỏi thỏa thuận vào tháng 5/2018. Có lẽ ông đã quá tin tưởng vào các cố vấn như John Bolton hay cựu ngoại trưởng Mike Pompeo, người có lập trường chống Iran rất cực đoan. Chúng ta có thể thấy rõ rằng kể từ khi tái đắc cử, một mặt đe dọa sẽ có hành động quân sự chống Iran, hoặc ban hành các lệnh trừng phạt mới, Trump vẫn liên tục nhắc lại ý muốn đàm phán một thỏa thuận mới với Iran. Vì vậy, tôi nghĩ rằng Trump có thể hiểu về thất bại này, vì Iran đã rút khỏi thỏa thuận và chưa bao giờ tiến gần đến năng lực sản xuất vũ khí nguyên tử như vậy. Rõ ràng là ông đã rút ra bài học từ nhiệm kỳ đầu tiên. »Tình hình khẩn cấp: Lượng Uranium gấp « 41 lần » được phép Theo nhà nghiên cứu Thierry Coville, tình hình căng thẳng hiện tại liên quan đến việc Iran đang tiến gần ngưỡng có uranium được làm giàu đủ mức và đủ lượng để chế tạo vũ khí hạt nhân, trong lúc báo chí Mỹ nói đến việc Teheran có thể sản xuất được vũ khí hạt nhân trong ít tuần lễ, là một lý do chính khiến Mỹ phải ráo riết thúc đẩy đàm phán :  « Iran được cho là có đủ lượng uranium làm giàu để có khả năng chế tạo ít nhất bốn quả bom nguyên tử. Vậy nên, thực sự là mọi người đều lo lắng. Hơn nữa, thỏa thuận trước sẽ hết hạn vào tháng 10/2025. Vì vậy, Hoa Kỳ đã đặt ra hai tháng để đạt được một thỏa thuận mới, đảm bảo rằng Iran không tiến tới chế tạo bom nguyên tử. »Trên làn sóng RFI, ông David Rigoulet-Roze, chuyên gia về Trung Đông và Bán đảo Ả Rập, tổng biên tập tạp chí Orients Stratégiques, giải thích : Hiện tại không có gì ngăn cản Iran về mặt kỹ thuật trong mục tiêu chế tạo được vũ khí hạt nhân. Iran đang bước vào giai đoạn có thể tăng mức làm giàu uranium từ 60% đến 90%, tức từ mức có chuyển sang chế tạo bom nguyên tử là rất nhanh chóng.Iran chưa rút hẳn khỏi Thỏa thuận hạt nhân 2015, cho dù Mỹ đơn phương rút. Nhưng hành động của Washington đã ảnh hưởng lớn đến việc Thỏa thuận được Iran tuân thủ theo các điều khoản ban đầu. Theo một báo cáo mật của Cơ quan Năng lượng Nguyên tử Quốc tế (AIEA), được France 24 trích dẫn hồi cuối tháng 2/2025, lượng dự trữ Uranium được làm giàu ở mức 60% trong hiện tại gấp đến « 41 lần » mức Hiệp định 2015 cho phép.Tính đến ngày 8/2, Iran sở hữu tổng cộng 274,8 kg, so với 182,3 kg ba tháng trước đó. Tốc độ sản xuất uranium làm giàu cao ở mức 60%, tức gần với mức 90% cần thiết để chế tạo vũ khí hạt nhân, đã gia tăng ở Iran. Cơ quan Năng lượng Nguyên tử Quốc tế (AIEA) xem đây là tình hình « rất đáng lo ngại ». Thậm chí, theo Ali Vaez, chuyên gia về Iran tại nhóm International Crisis Group, « nếu lượng uranium mà Iran đang có đã được làm giàu đến mức 90%, thì quốc gia này có đủ khả năng chế tạo vũ khí hạt nhân với tốc độ một vũ khí trong một tháng ».Đầu tháng 12/2024 vừa qua, Teheran cảnh báo sẽ đưa vào sử dụng các máy ly tâm tiên tiến mới. Quyết định này ngay lập tức vấp đã phải sự phản đối mạnh mẽ của Hội đồng thống đốc Cơ quan Năng lượng Nguyên tử Quốc tế. Tuy nhiên, vào thời điểm loan truyền báo cáo mật của Cơ quan năng lượng Nguyên tử quốc tế, Teheran vẫn khăng khăng bác bỏ khả năng đàm phán với Mỹ.  Đe dọa từ Mỹ tăng vọt, dân chúng mệt mỏi : Nguy cơ sụp đổ Vì sao chính quyền Iran đã nhanh chóng đảo ngược quan điểm khăng khăng không chấp nhận đàm phán với Mỹ ? Nhà nghiên cứu Viện IRIS nhìn thấy ở đây những lo sợ của chế độ Hồi Giáo Iran trước các áp lực ngày càng lớn từ bên ngoài cùng tình trạng phẫn nộ của dân chúng trong nước :« Đúng là chỉ một vài tuần trước, lãnh đạo tối cao Iran còn nói : không được, không được ! Sẽ không khôn ngoan và không hợp lý khi đàm phán với Mỹ. Tuy nhiên, ông ta đã thay đổi quyết định. Và nếu ông thay đổi quyết định thì đó là vì thực sự có một cuộc khủng hoảng chính trị ở Iran, kể từ năm 2022. Có một vấn đề về tính hợp pháp của chính quyền Iran. Có những khó khăn về kinh tế, mà chúng ta không nên phóng đại, nhưng rõ ràng có lạm phát, hiện vẫn ở mức 30%, và trên hết là dân chúng đã mệt mỏi. Vì vậy, chế độ Iran lo sợ nếu có lệnh trừng phạt mới của Mỹ, thì chắc chắn sẽ có các phong trào phản đối trong dân chúng, và sau đó, thực sự là có đe dọa về một cuộc tấn công của Mỹ hoặc Israel. Những điều này thực sự ảnh hưởng đến việc Iran quyết định đàm phán. »Chế được vũ khí hạt nhân phải mất từ một đến ba nămTrên thực tế, khả năng Iran sản xuất được vũ khí hạt nhân không còn nằm trong lĩnh vực kỹ thuật, mà ở quyết định chính trị, theo nhiều chuyên gia. Trong một chương trình tọa đàm của RFI về chủ đề này, nhà nghiên cứu Clément Therme, giảng viên tại Đại học Paul Valéry ở Montpellier và Học viện Sciences Po Paris, chuyên gia về thế giới Iran, nhấn mạnh rõ đến sự khác biệt này :« Nếu lãnh tụ tối cao, giáo chủ Ali Khamenei, ra quyết định thì Cộng hòa Hồi giáo Iran sẽ phải mất từ ​​một đến ba năm để có được vũ khí hạt nhân có thể sử dụng được. Vì vậy, đây chưa phải là vấn đề cấp bách. Chúng ta cần phân biệt giữa năng lực thực sự sản xuất vũ khí để có thể sử dụng và khả năng có đủ số lượng uranium để về mặt lý thuyết có thể sản xuất được vũ khí. Về điểm thứ hai này, thời hạn là ngắn hơn nhiều. Tôi nghĩ là các phương tiện truyền thông nhầm lẫn giữa việc có được vũ khí hạt nhân với việc có đủ lượng uranium để chế tạo vũ khí hạt nhân. Hai chuyện không phải là một. Chính vì vậy vẫn còn có khả năng đàm phán và trong hiện tại, công cụ được ưu tiên để kiểm soát tham vọng hạt nhân của Iran là con đường ngoại giao. »Đường cùng mới phải chế vũ khí hạt nhân: Nội bộ chế độ cân nhắc lợi hại Iran có thể đạt được một thỏa hiệp về chương trình hạt nhân quân sự với Mỹ trong thời gian tới hay không ? Đối với nhiều chuyên gia, mấu chốt của vấn đề nằm ở chỗ các phe nhóm chủ chốt trong chế độ Hồi giáo Iran nhìn nhận ra sao về vấn đề này. Trả lời RFI, chuyên gia về thế giới Iran Clément Therme giải thích :« Câu hỏi đặt ra là phát triển chương trình hạt nhân quân sự có phục vụ cho lợi ích của nước Cộng hòa Hồi Giáo Iran hay không và quyết định này có thể đe dọa đến sự tồn vong của chế độ Cộng hòa Hồi Giáo Iran hay không? Tổng thống Pháp Jacques Chirac, trong một cuộc trả lời phỏng vấn nổi tiếng với tờ New York Times hồi 2006, từng nói rằng nếu Teheran tìm cách sở hữu vũ khí hạt nhân, Iran sẽ bị nguyền rủa. Như vậy, nhìn chung có thể thấy nếu Iran phát triển chương trình hạt nhân quân sự, chế độ Hồi Giáo sẽ sụp đổ. Có một cuộc tranh luận trong nội bộ chế độ Iran về việc có nên phát triển chương trình hạt nhân quân sự hay không. Cuộc tranh luận này dựa trên ý tưởng chính: nếu Israel và Mỹ tấn công vào các cơ sở hạt nhân dân sự của Iran, thì chế độ Hồi giáo có thể sẽ quyết định nhanh chóng phát triển vũ khí hạt nhân. Tôi nghĩ là hiện tại có một nhận thức chung: Cái giá mà Iran phải trả, nếu quyết định thúc đẩy chương trình hạt nhân quân sự, sẽ lớn hơn các lợi ích mà chế độ Hồi giáo Iran có thể thu được từ việc phát triển vũ khí hạt nhân, mà rõ ràng là một mối đe dọa tồn vong đối với chế độ. »

It's Tuesday, April 22nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Pope Francis, who affirmed homosexual ideology, has died Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed once for man to die, and after that the judgment.” The Roman Catholic Pope Francis died Monday of a stroke and heart failure, reports The Epoch Times. He was 88 years old. Francis was not shy to enter into international politics. The pope had recently stated that the Trump administration policies removing illegal immigrants would “end badly.” He had also approved of the Vatican policy allowing church blessings for homosexual couples living in unnatural relations one with another. And he made numerous comments publicly lauding those who advocate LGBT ideology. Francis will also be remembered for his signing over the installation of Catholic bishops in China to the Communist Government. The deal was first signed in 2018, and then renewed in 2020, 2022, and 2024.  U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo commented on the travesty, stating that “It's clear that the Sino-Vatican agreement has not shielded Catholics from the Party's depredations, to say nothing of the Party's horrific treatment of Christians.” King Charles references Islam in his “Easter message” Sadly, the King of England took opportunity in his “Easter message” to refer to Judaism and Islam, instead of representing the Christian faith, reports The Christian Post. Referring to Jesus, King Charles said, “The love He showed when He walked the Earth reflected the Jewish ethic of caring for the stranger and those in need, a deep human instinct echoed in Islam and other religious traditions, and in the hearts of all who seek the good of others.” Ostensibly, King Charles III is the head of the English Anglican Church. No wonder the Disciples of Christ tweeted, “King Charles is neglecting his role as Defender of the Faith.” UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, an atheist, was a little more encouraging to Christians in his Easter message, referencing the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as “a story of hope, redemption and renewal.” He also referred sympathetically with “Christians facing hardship, persecution or conflict around the world who cannot celebrate freely.” Supreme Court: Can parents opt kids out of LGBT propaganda? The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments today from parents in Maryland concerning the public school ban on their opting out their kids on storybook readings on homosexual pride parades, gender transitions, and drag queens, reports USA Today. Mostly Muslim and Christian parents have wanted to opt their children out.  Colorado set to punish parents for objecting to kid's gender transition The Colorado State House has approved what may be the worst bill in the nation. The current legislative wording is geared to criminalize parents for disagreeing with their children on gender identity, compel speech, and punish those who hold faith-based or scientific beliefs about sex and gender, reports The Gospel Coalition. Specifically, Colorado liberal legislators could punish a parent guilty of “deadnaming” which is using the transgender child's birth name or “misgendering” which is using pronouns that align with the child's actual biological sex. The legislators describe these actions as forms of “coercive control” which would be considered threatening or intimidating behaviors that courts could consider when determining child custody. Republican Rep. Chris Richardson spoke out against the bill. RICHARDSON: “This is not protecting children, it's weaponizing the courts against parents.  This would allow a parent who may be navigating an incredibly complex and emotional issue with their child to lose custody for not affirming a gender identity they may not understand.” Last week, pastors gathered at the capital to protest the bill.  Leaders included Pastors Matt Patrick of The Well Church in Boulder, Chris Goble of Ridgeline Community Church in Castle Rock, and Matt Johnson of BRAVE Church in Englewood. The bill is heading for the Democrat-dominated Colorado Senate for approval. Will pastors stand in the gap? Ezekial 22:30 reads of impending judgment:  “And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.” Is Colorado the most anti-gun state? Colorado is also poised to become the most anti-gun state in America. Indeed, 12 bills restricting gun rights have already passed.  The state legislature is considering a record 18 more anti-gun bills this season, which would further restrict gun rights, as monitored by the Rocky Mountain Gunowners Association.  Family arrested for “kidnapping” own kids over vaccine issue A Massachusetts homeschool family has been arrested for “kidnapping” their own children. They are held on a $200,000 bond or $20,000 cash bail. The couple's five children have reportedly been taken into custody by Child Protective Services. The extreme response was allegedly sparked by the parents' informed decision to decline to vaccinate their healthy nine-month-old baby, on what they called “sincerely-held religious beliefs.” They had attempted an escape to Texas, where they were hunted down and arrested. Walgreens pays $350 million for prescription Walgreens has agreed to pay up to $350 million for allegedly filling unlawful opioid prescriptions, without taking the time to confirm that the prescriptions were lawful, reports Fox 4. The suit was filed by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration. This is in addition to paying $5.5 billion for a plethora of suits filed by local and state governments. Walgreens is on a path to bankruptcy, planning 1,200 store closures in the next few years. Drug overdose deaths have killed 1.25 million Americans since 1999 — more than the deaths caused by COVID-19.  Dow and the Nasdaq composite dropped The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1,000 points, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 3.5% on a Bear Monday. The NASDAQ registered an 18% drop since the first of the year. Meanwhile, gold topped $3,400 per ounce —another record high. The gold-to-silver ratio reached 105-fold — an all-time high. Historically, the ratio has been 20 to 1.  Pat Boone is back And finally, Pat Boone is back on the charts with another Adult Contemporary Hit. With a little help from Lee Greenwood, Vince Gill, Larry Gatlin, and Alabama, the singer released We Are One — with the hope the proceeds will fund clean water in Tanzania, Africa.  Take a listen. BOONE: “One. I am one. Like no other human being, I am one.” GREENWOOD: “And in my life, there is a meaning. There is worth. There is a purpose like no other on this planet, I am one.” ALABAMA (RANDY OWEN AND TEDDY GENTRY): “One. We are one. When good people come together, we are one.” GREENWOOD: “And in our oneness, there is purpose, there is honor, there is courage, when we put our hearts together, we are one.” (African children singing) Half of Tanzania does not have clean drinking water. You can make a donation on the website www.OneForTanzania.org/give Remarkably, Pat Boone will be 91 in June.  The singer set a new record for the longest span between songs on the adult contemporary chart -- 63 years, eight months, and three weeks.   Boone has four children  16 grandchildren, and 17 great grandchildren. Psalm 127:3 says, “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, April 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo, now a Fox News contributor and author of Never Give an Inch, joined The Guy Benson Show today to weigh in on the latest round of nuclear negotiations with Iran. Pompeo explained why a strong Israel and an assertive U.S. posture under Trump are critical in keeping Iran in check. He also assessed the path forward in the Russia-Ukraine war, noting that Trump's patience with Putin may be running thin following Russia's continued attacks on innocent Ukrainians. Turning to China, Pompeo endorsed the targeted tariffs from the Trump administration but dismissed the idea of tariffs in general in regards to economic growth. He warned that the alliance between China, Russia, and Iran represents a "three-headed monster" that America must confront with clarity and strength. Listen to the full interview below!

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageFive years after a mysterious virus emerged from Wuhan, China, we're still grappling with unanswered questions about COVID-19's origins and accountability. Drawing from Sharri Markson's eye-opening book "What Really Happened in Wuhan," we explore a remarkable January 2020 meeting where Chinese democracy advocate Wei Jingsheng warned Washington insiders about a suspicious virus leak from a laboratory—weeks before the world understood what was coming.This pivotal conversation raises profound questions: Why hasn't there been a comprehensive investigation into COVID-19's origins comparable to the Nuremberg trials after WWII or the tribunals for Rwanda and Yugoslavia? Top intelligence officials from multiple nations now believe a laboratory accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology represents the most probable explanation. Former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove states "the weight of evidence is actually on the escapee side," while former CIA Director Mike Pompeo identifies the Wuhan lab as the likely source. Yet meaningful accountability remains out of reach.We examine the unique geopolitical challenges preventing justice—China's superpower status, the difficulty in establishing clear intent versus negligence, and international reluctance to confront Beijing. The stark reality is that China has been the source of multiple serious disease outbreaks in recent decades, raising urgent questions about global biosafety standards and potential consequences for nations that repeatedly endanger global health. Despite these obstacles, the millions who lost their lives deserve our continued pursuit of truth and accountability. Five years may not be enough time to untangle this complex catastrophe, but history shows that persistence in seeking justice matters, however challenging that path may be.Join us as we reflect on this somber anniversary and consider what meaningful steps toward accountability might still be possible, even as the window for justice narrows with each passing year.Key Points from the Episode:• Exploring Sharri Markson's book "What Really Happened in Wuhan" and key early warning from Chinese democracy advocate Wei Jingsheng• Comparing COVID-19 to historical justice mechanisms like Nuremberg, Rwanda, and Cambodia tribunals• Examining statements from intelligence leaders including former MI6 and CIA heads supporting the lab leak theory• Analyzing the geopolitical obstacles preventing meaningful investigation and accountability• Questioning what justice might look like five years after the pandemic began• Highlighting China's repeated role in pandemic outbreaks over recent decades• Considering whether stronger international biosafety standards and potential UN Security Council consequences should be implementedKeep fighting the good fight and seeking truth about COVID-19's origins despite the challenges.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

Alongside the new Trump administration, a new Congress has also taken power in Washington, D.C. The 119th Congress brings unified Republican control of both chambers with key votes – such as confirming many of President Trump's cabinet nominees – complete, another focus will be on congressional investigations and oversight. What might the oversight landscape look like? What investigative priorities will take center stage? And what role will key actors, both inside and outside of Congress, play in shaping policy and accountability over the next year?Joining the show to discuss what we can expect when it comes to congressional investigations is Ronak D. Desai. Ronak is the firmwide leader of the Congressional Investigations Practice at Paul Hastings LLP, where he advises clients facing high-stakes oversight inquiries and regulatory scrutiny. Ronak previously served on Capitol Hill in multiple roles, including most recently on a prominent select committee with members, including Adam Schiff, Adam Smith, Jim Jordan, and Mike Pompeo. In private practice, Ronak has handled a number of high-profile congressional investigations on behalf of clients on Capitol Hill both behind closed doors and publicly in the glare of the media spotlight. Show Notes:  Ronak D.

Durante 8 años gobernó un hombre que no se dio cuenta de que su hermano había creado 21 compañías que funcionaban en el mismo local y que exclusivamente hacían negocios con el estado. A pesar de que el presidente no sabía de los negocios de su hermano, el mentado Alexis Medina usaba papel timbrado con el escudo nacional, tenía como chofer a un teniente coronel y usaba espacios de una base aérea como almacén.El presidente Danilo Medina tampoco sabía lo que certificó la contraloría general de la República que sólo una de las empresas de su hermano Domedical Supply recibió pagos por más de 2, 300 millones de pesos.Quienes escuchamos al ex presidente decir que nunca quiso buscar una tercera reelección  concluimos  que sufre de amnesia y pareciera que borró de su memoria el cerco militar y policial que dispuso en el perímetro del congreso en junio del 2019 y que fue descrito por el LD de la siguiente manera “Se pudo visualizar como las cárceles móviles, la unidad anti motines del Ejército, el camión de bomberos del 911 y otros vehículos de diversas entidades se mantienen en los alrededores”Ese cerco se mantuvo hasta después del 12 de julio cuando por informaciones procedentes de Washington se supo que el secretario de estado Mike Pompeo llamó al entonces presidente para hablarle de la importancia de las instituciones democráticas.Ese julio el entonces senador y luego secretario general del PLD dio una rueda de prensa en la que dijo que no había recibido ningún proyecto de reforma constitucional pero que no estaba descartado.Danilo Medina no escuchaba la radio porque en el mismo espacio donde ayer habló se insistía constantemente en que soo faltaban seis o siete diputados para completar la matricula que pasaría su segunda reforma.El hombre que dijo ayer que desde su reelección fue víctima de una campaña sobre “supuestos fondos provenientes de Brasil” debe ser una de las pocas personas en el mundo que no se informó del escándalo de la empresa Odebrecht que reconoció que en el caso dominicano había pagado 92 millones de dolares en Sobornos.Cuando una escucha a Medina solo queda un razonamiento posible: Todas las auditorias realizadas por la camara de cuentas en las que se evidencia el manejo de más de 130 mil millones de pesos fuero simples ejercicios contables.Es posible que Medina no se haya dado cuenta de que en los acuerdos de reconocimiento de culpabilidad  con el ministerio publico se han devuelto 3,242 millones de pesos y 1,417,000 dolares.Seguro que quienes devolvieron esos bienes para negociar con la fiscalía solo quieren aportar de su patrimonio personal para el patrimonio colectivo.La entrevista de ayer a Danilo Medina nos deja una certeza: tuvimos un presidente que llamaba y olvidaba la llamada. Tuvimos un presidente que ordenaba y olvidaba para qué y porqué daba la orden y tuvimos un presidente que después de salir del gobierno no ha leído un periódico más nunca en su vida. 

For the first time in decades, the Iranian regime is defenseless. Will President Donald Trump seize on the moment and finally depose of the brutal theocracy before it gets “the bomb” or instead pursue another “maximum pressure” campaign, cutting the ayatollah off from the rest of the world? Victor Davis Hanson lays out these options and what role the MAGA worldview may play in the Trump administration's decision-making on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” “Remember that fable of our youth when the mice got together and they say, ‘The cat is picking us off one by one. We need to put a bell around his neck so we could be warned.' And everybody said, ‘That's a great idea.' “The next item of business among the mice assembly was, who will bell the cat? What I'm getting at is the Europeans, I think even the Chinese and Russians, don't want on their border a nuclear Iran. The Americans, the Israelis, everybody knows they should not—that theocratic regime should not get the bomb. But who bells the cat? ... “Maybe the correct stance of the incoming Trump administration is to go back to the maximum-pressure campaign of Mike Pompeo and Donald Trump and have strict sanctions on oil exports, maybe even a blockade, put the pressure on so the people then throw the theocracy out itself. “But on the other hand, people are going to argue, ‘Wait a minute, there are no Iranian air defenses. For one of the few times in history, that regime is naked. There is no Assad. There is no Hezbollah. There is no Hamas. There is no Houthis that are capable of, as surrogates, attacking the Israeli state.  “‘So, maybe you could attack Iran—just this brief window—because Israel, in a series of brilliant air responses, has destroyed its ability—Tehran's ability to defend itself.'” Don't miss out on Victor's latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Earlier this week marked three years since Russia began their military invasion of Ukraine. During the 2024 campaign, President Donald Trump asserted that "the war would have never begun had he been in office" and has made ending the conflict a top priority in his second term. Foreign leaders are heading to DC this week as the new administration works toward achieving peace in Europe. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo joins to share why he thinks European leaders have failed in responding to Russian aggression, highlights key principles that should guide the nation's response, and condemns the actions of Hamas. The House will vote later this week on a budget resolution much larger than the Senate approved last week. House Speaker Mike Johnson stated on Sunday that he hopes for final approval in April and that they can "work things out with the Senate later on." The House's version of President Trump's 'one big beautiful bill' would extend his 2017 tax cuts, which will expire at the end of the year. Thomas Savidge, a research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, joins to explain how both chambers plan to come together on a budget agreement and why compromise is necessary in government.

The US government's talks with Russia are more about China than Ukraine. Donald Trump admitted he wants to "un-unite" Russia and China, in a reverse of the divide-and-conquer strategy used by Nixon and Kissinger in the 1970s. Can Trump do it? Ben Norton explains why the United States sees China as the main threat to its global imperial dominance.

In this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson cuts through the hysteria surrounding Donald Trump's decision to end the security details for Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Anthony Fauci, highlighting their financial standings and Trump's stance on their protection:  Donald Trump said, when he was pressed about this, “aren't you worried that you may be culpable if any of them are harmed, since, supposedly, right-wingers don't like Fauci and the Iranians are mad at Bolton and Pompeo?” And he said, “do we give security details forever?”  “Donald Trump will do more to keep Pompeo and Bolton safe by confronting Iran. And he already has told Iran that they are going to be held responsible, not just for threatening Bolton's life or Pompeo's, but his life.” Learn more about your ad choices.

A week into the second iteration of Donald Trump's White House, hosts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord take stock of the abrupt and unrelenting changes to our federal government. Andrew points to security details yanked and security clearances revoked as blatant retaliation against Trump's perceived foes. Mary highlights several judges who are pushing back against blanket pardons for J6 convictions. Then, they turn to Trump's executive action on birthright citizenship, reviewing several challenges already in motion, including a case brought by Mary and her ICAP team. And before wrapping up, our two resident career litigators look at the withering independence of the Justice Department from the White House, and how all roads lead through the DOJ.Further reading: Here is the New York Times' piece on Kash Patel that Andrew mentioned in this episode: F.B.I.

Trump launched his first week back in office signaling to loyal followers that they are free to break the law on his behalf, while telling political opponents—including John Bolton and Mike Pompeo—that he'll put their lives at risk. Meanwhile, an office full of white faces is not evidence of a meritocracy, a shortage of VA nurses or prosecutors at the DOJ is not government efficiency, and Putin is different from the man he was during Trump's first term.

How did the billionaire businessman Jimmy Lai become one of Hong Kong's leading activists for democracy—and China's most famous political prisoner today? Jimmy Lai escaped mainland China when he was 12 years old, at the height of a famine that killed tens of millions. In Hong Kong, he hustled; no work was beneath him, and he often slept on a table in a clothing factory where he did odd jobs. At 21, he was running a factory. By his mid-twenties, he owned one and was supplying sweaters and shirts to some of the biggest brands in the United States, from Polo to The Limited. His ideas about retail led him to create Giordano in 1981, and with it “fast fashion.” A restless entrepreneur, as Giordano prepared to go public, he was thinking about a dining concept that would disrupt Hong Kong's fast-food industry. But then came the Tiananmen Square democracy protest and the massacre of 1989. His reaction to the violence was to enter the media business to push China toward more freedoms. He started a magazine, Next, to advocate for democracy in Hong Kong. Then, just two years before the city was to return to Chinese control, he founded the Apple Daily newspaper. Its mix of bold graphics, gossip, local news, and opposition to the Chinese Communist Party was an immediate hit. For more than two decades, Lai used Apple and Next as part of a personal push for democracy—in weekly columns, at rallies and marches, and, memorably, sitting in front of a tent during the 2014 Occupy Central movement. Lai also took his activism abroad, traveling frequently to Washington, where he was well known in Congress and in political circles. China reacted with fury in 2019 when he met with Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. A draconian new security law came into effect in Hong Kong in mid-2020, effectively making free speech a crime and censorship a fact. Lai was its most important target. Apple Daily was raided on August 10, 2020. He was arrested and held without bail before being convicted of trumped-up charges ranging from lighting a candle (“incitement to riot”) to violating a clause in his company's lease (“fraud”). At the end of 2023, a lengthy trial began alleging “collusion with foreign forces” and printing seditious materials. China's most famous political prisoner has been in jail for more than 1,100 days and could spend the rest of his life there. Join us to hear from Mark Clifford, author of The Troublemaker, and learn all about the billionaire behind bars. This program is generously supported by the Ken and Jaclyn Broad Family Foundation.

Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State and CIA Director, Fox News contributor, and author of NEVER GIVE AN INCH: Fighting for the America I Love, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the fallout from yesterday's devastating terrorist attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. Pompeo weighed in on the respective motivations for the attacks, which claimed at least 16 lives combined. Pompeo also outlined what the US can do to continue to secure it's borders and prevent devastating attacks like this from occurring. Pompeo and Benson also criticized the Biden DOJ's plea deal for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, calling it a disservice to justice amid fresh violence on U.S. soil. Benson also asked Pomeo about his views on the national security threat posed by TikTok and if the platform should be banned. Finally, Pompeo discussed whether he had given Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio any advice before accepting the role and emphasized the importance of expanding the Abraham Accords for greater stability in the Middle East.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 68: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: If you're wondering who's the boss here it ain't Trump. Putin refused to call him first and instead had Russian State Television "celebrate" his becoming the 21st Century Grover Cleveland by showing nude photos of Melania. Russian TV - which has figured out Trump is a lame duck - also reported Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo would not be in the new administration long before Trump announced it. Putin also seems to have soured on RFK Jr, leaving Sideshow Bobby to aspire only to becoming Secretary of Masturbation. MEANWHILE, NO, THE ELECTION WAS NOT STOLEN - not in the sense you're thinking. It WAS stolen in the sense that the fascists and the anti-democracy billionaires have been running a series of illicit, hidden, disguised pro-Republican advertisements 24/7/365, for at least thirty years. They have been bombarding the underachievers of this nation, the incels, the morons, the idiots, the bros, and now the social media addicts of America, with a series of easy-to-digest, sweet-tasting conspiracy theories on a thousand streaming networks and podcasts and the Democrats have...MSNBC. The Left not only doesn't compete in the new Marketplace of Ideas it doesn't know where the shops are. It has to change this or you can forget '26 and '28 as well. On the other hand, this circular firing squad? Utterly ludicrous. It looks like Kamala Harris will have ultimately lost by 1.5% which would make Trump's the fifth SMALLEST popular vote win all time. You do not burn it all down after that. You rebuild. B-BLOCK (32:15) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Corey Lewandowski and Chris LaCivita show us what winning means: you get to try to kill your rival on the winning team. Finally we figure out what's really behind the deportation scam: the companies that will make billions building the private prisons to turn into concentration camps for deportees. Nevermind the future of NATO. Will its members ever trust us with intel again? And the Dallas Cowboys honor founding coach Tom Landry on Veterans' Day by...misspelling his name. But it'll all come out in the wash. C-BLOCK (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: With only 7% of the city believing he didn't commit a crime, New York Mayor Eric Adams has reached out to...Trump. The Massachusetts congressman has the New Democratic rallying cry: Transphobia! And the White House "correspondent" so stupid she publicly accused the Democrats of trying to fix the Kari Lake/Ruben Gallego race so they can "steal" Congress. Except Lake and Gallego were running for the Senate!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
