Newt talks with George Beebe, Director of Grand Strategy at Quincy Institute about the Russia-Ukraine war. They discuss the Tuesday meeting between President Putin, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, focusing on a potential compromise to end the war in Ukraine. George highlights the necessity for both Ukraine and Russia to make concessions, emphasizing Ukraine's need to secure its sovereignty and rebuild, while Russia seeks assurances against perceived threats from NATO and the United States. The ongoing negotiations aim to address both nations' security concerns, with discussions on military limitations and the status of the Donbas region. The potential for nuclear escalation remains a critical concern, with George asserting that Russia views the conflict as existential, which could lead to nuclear options if pushed into a corner. They conclude their conversation by emphasizing the importance of diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation and achieve a sustainable peace.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CAFE stands for “Corporate Average Fuel Economy.” An easy definition, via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is a regulation: …[on] how far our vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel. NHTSA sets CAFE standards for passenger cars and for light trucks (collectively, light-duty vehicles), and separately sets fuel consumption standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and engines. NHTSA also regulates the fuel-economy window stickers on new vehicles. Ending these regulations is part of complying with Trump’s “Unleashing American Energy” Executive Order and the [Transportation] Secretary's “Fixing the CAFE Program” Memorandum, according to the department’s homepage. On Wednesday, the president rattled off the investments in the United States that the auto companies have made since Trump 47 began in January. In one case, he cracked up the room by joking that they could do better than the billions of dollars they are promising: Trump added that it’s part of getting rid of more of the “Green New Scam,” too. https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1996322694099345577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996322694099345577%7Ctwgr%5E31d2137f89d95733dae2dffe91ce3f002937e448%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbeccalower%2F2025%2F12%2F03%2Fwatch-trump-signing-car-industry-eo-ending-burdensome-biden-regulations-n2196786 https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1996325044260085885?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996325044260085885%7Ctwgr%5E31d2137f89d95733dae2dffe91ce3f002937e448%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbeccalower%2F2025%2F12%2F03%2Fwatch-trump-signing-car-industry-eo-ending-burdensome-biden-regulations-n2196786 Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1996587083012378947?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/1996583802559136057?s=20 https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1996582009460732232?s=20   to a seasonally adjusted 191,000, the lowest level since September 2022, with expectations of 220,000. https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1996431168883900552?s=20   fourth consecutive month-over-month decline.

The Dingley Tariff Act of 1897, which was the centerpiece of President William McKinley’s domestic economic policy. He believed in protectionism (using high tariffs to protect American industries and workers from foreign competition). Just like President Trump. Between 1897–1901 the United States had just become the wealthiest and highest-output economy on EARTH, surpassing the United Kingdom as the world's #1 manufacturing nation and #1 economy in total GDP By 1900 U.S. industrial production was roughly equal to that of Britain, Germany, and France COMBINED. Taxation without representation is unconstitutional and ILLEGAL. We, The People are now finally coming to grips with the illusions that have been installed around us our entire lives. Who is the FED?

Assistant U.S. Attorney Blasts Los Angeles County After It Votes to Ban ICE Agents from Wearing Masks Los Angeles County's far-left Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to advance an unprecedented ordinance that would ban law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from wearing masks while working in unincorporated areas of the county. The proposal passed 4-0, with only Supervisor Kathryn Barger abstaining. A final vote is scheduled for next week, and the ordinance would take effect in January 2026, according to the LA Times. Legal experts say federal immigration agents would not be required to follow a county mask ban. The county's top lawyer, Dawyn Harrison, has said she suspects the federal government will likely argue that the county law violates the Constitution, which states that federal law takes precedence over conflicting local statutes.  https://twitter.com/USAttyEssayli/status/1996040656733814854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996040656733814854%7Ctwgr%5E71ecedc2cdf5f5bfec40c6e10a4a461e8ffa25fd%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fassistant-u-s-attorney-blasts-los-angeles-county%2F   by the media and local politicians.

The “war on narco-terrorists” that Secretary Hegseth is bragging about is being run on a legal foundation poured years before Trump ever touched the Oval Office desk. Obama normalized the presidential kill list. He campaigned in 2008 promising rule of law, transparency, and restraint. He delivered a tenfold increase in drone strikes; a White House “Terror Tuesday” meeting where officials literally flipped through PowerPoint slides picking who lived or died; and a legal doctrine allowing the president to kill U.S. citizens without trial, notice, or judicial review. That doctrine – once unthinkable – is now standard operating procedure. Obama's Director of National Intelligence openly admitted in 2010 that the administration was targeting Americans based on vague criteria like whether a citizen was “involved” in a group “trying to attack us.” That’s not evidence… that’s vibes. When civil-liberties groups sued to force the government to explain the legal basis, Obama declared the entire matter a state secret. Meaning: the president could now kill you, and no court was allowed to ask why. The judiciary rubber-stamped it. Both parties embraced it. And the public largely applauded it. Then came the Awlaki killings. Obama ordered the drone assassination of: •⁠ ⁠Anwar al-Awlaki, an American cleric •⁠ ⁠Samir Khan, an American citizen standing next to him •⁠ ⁠Awlaki's 16-year-old son, killed two weeks later at a café The White House smeared the kid as a “21-year-old terrorist.” The next week a birth certificate proved he was a Colorado teenager with zero ties to extremism. The administration shrugged. Obama famously told aides: “Turns out I'm really good at killing people.” And Washington – media, political class, and voters – rewarded him. Fast-forward to 2025. Trump isn't inventing anything new in Venezuela. He's using the exact precedents Obama left behind: Unreviewable executive kill authority, expanded definitions of “enemy combatant,” secret memos. No congressional oversight, no geographic limits, zero court supervision. Obama created the kill switch. Trump just slammed it. If you cheered the drone program when your guy was doing it, you already endorsed what’s happening now. If you let the government redefine due process as “whatever we decide in secret,” you already consented to the next president weaponizing that power. And if you normalize extrajudicial force abroad, eventually it comes home. Obama built the architecture. Trump moved in. And Venezuela is learning what happens when a precedent meets a president with fewer brakes  EU corruption scandal could take down von der Leyen – Politico A corruption probe into former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has thrown European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's position into jeopardy, with opponents preparing to turn the affair into a fresh push to remove her, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing officials in the bloc. Mogherini, who served as the EU's top diplomat from 2014 to 2019 and is now rector of the College of Europe, was detained on Tuesday. She was formally accused by the European Public Prosecutor's Office of procurement fraud, corruption, conflict of interest, and breaches of professional secrecy over an EU-funded diplomatic academy program. In the wake of the scandal, von der Leyen “is facing the starkest challenge to the EU's accountability in a generation,” with her rivals renewing calls for a new no-confidence vote, Politico reported. source:rt.com NATO Members Commit More Than $1 Billion to Purchase U.S. Weapons for Ukraine NATO officials from Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland pledged hundreds of millions more in U.S.-made weapons under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme, Ukrainian media reported. Amid Russian gains on the battlefield, they insist Ukraine must be armed “to keep the fight going.” The alliance offered these commitments while being accused of attempting to sabotage peace talks. Canada, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, and the U.K. all announced new contributions, pushing the total put toward U.S.-made weapons bound for Ukraine toward $5 billion this year alone. These newly allocated funds come at a time when many European governments, increasingly unpopular at home, are cutting domestic programs and warning of budget shortfalls. Source: thegatewaypundit.com Leaked Transcript of EU Conference Call with Zelenskyy Highlights Fear of Trump Securing Peace for Ukraine Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Paris talking to Emmanuel Macron last weekend while Rubio, Witkoff and Kushner were meeting with Ukraine officials in Florida.  This telephone call is reported to have taken place the following day, on Monday. French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy together with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and European Council President António Costa held a conference call. A transcript of the call was leaked to Spiegel, a German news outlet. According to the narrative the assembled group of EU leaders were discussing how the Trump administration was going to betray Ukraine in order to get a peace deal with Russia. The gist of the narrative sounds accurate, though some of the EU leaders are denying the specifics of the wording used. The EU is very worried President Trump may formulate a peace agreement then present the final terms to Ukraine without the EU being involved in the construct of the details. The EU is opposed to any peaceful end to the conflict, because the EU and NATO have positioned their collective economies to only benefit if the military spending continues; they are backstopping their spending with the confiscated Russian assets.   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com   Medical/False Flags https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1996567491334803864?s=20 [DS] Agenda https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/1996550058809188740?s=20   “Ilhan and this group, they spent a lot of money” “So, the people that work for Ilhan (0mar) are actually counting the ballots, counting the vote?” “They (Ilhan Omar’s campaign staffers) become a manager, in the precinct too.” Somalians who don't speak English are also told out how to vote “They walk with you to the booth and then they vote.

It is on purpose. It is a feature, not a bug,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet J. Dhillon told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Wednesday night. “And the goal is to cram as many people on there and make voters who are not particularly engaged, make it easy for someone else to help them fill out their ballot and return it for them when they didn’t care enough to do it themselves,” she added. “What we can do at the federal government level is ensure that our federal election laws are observed, and that includes each state’s requirement to keep clean voter rolls,” she added. “That is a fundamental basic.” Dhillon spoke one day after her division filed lawsuits against six Democrat-run states — Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington state and Vermont — seeking to compel them to turn over to the DOJ their voter rolls to be inspected for abnormalities, outdated names or noncompliant names. She also struck a deal last week with North Carolina to force it to review and fix over 100,000 voters’ names on rolls in that battleground state that were added without complying with state law. Dhillon said her office is now on track to force through litigation, settlement or voluntary efforts at least 26 states to clean up voter rolls. “We’re now in litigation with 14 states. So the six yesterday included Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington State and Vermont. That adds to eight we already had going,” she said.

EU Integration as Deeper Western Engagement Than NATO — Anatol Lieven — Lieven argues that European Union membership offers Ukraine more comprehensive integration into Western institutional and economic structures than NATO alliance membership alone, though EU accession requires massive institutional economic reforms and governance restructuring. Lieven documents that Russia strategically demands that Ukraine conduct new democratic elections to validate peace settlements and ensure regime commitment to negotiated agreements. Lieven notes the strategic paradox that the United States conspicuously avoids pushing for electoral validation that could provide democratic legitimacy to negotiated territorial compromises. 1936 MUNICH

A week of intensive US diplomacy is wrapping up, with no Ukraine deal in sight, and escalating threats from Moscow. 30 years ago, the Dayton Agreement brought an end to the savage war in Bosnia, where, like Putin's dream of a greater Russia today, Serbia wanted more land and control, not an independent Bosnia. Rupert Smith was commander of the United Nations peacekeeping forces at the end of that conflict. Through his four decades in the military, he also led troops in the first Gulf war and Northern Ireland. He joins the program from London.   Also on today's show: photographer Annie Leibovitz; Bulwark reporter Will Sommer  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sanna Marin is a trailblazer in modern politics. When she became Prime Minister of Finland in 2019, she made history: at 34 she was the youngest ever leader of her country and the youngest leader in the world at the time.  As Prime Minister she confronted significant challenges. She led Finland through the COVID-19 pandemic, helped the country navigate neighbouring Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and led Finland's rapid joining of NATO – the swiftest entry for any country in the alliance's history. In November 2025, she joined us live to discuss her new book, Hope in Action. She talked about the political challenges facing Europe and the world today, how she coped with her personal life becoming public, including the incident that sparked a media frenzy and prompted women, including Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, to express their support. And she explored how we can all develop the courage to lead and act for the change we want to see in the world. --- This is the first instalment of a two-part episode.

UK Suspends Elections, Trump Warns Mass Migration Has Europe Facing “Civilizational Erasure,” White House “At Odds” With NATO Over Ukraine/Russia War

Trump Nails It, Declares NATO Expansion & UN Replacement Migration Top Emerging Threats Against America! Senate Learns That The Hegseth “Kill Them All” Story Was A Total Hoax! Plus, Dem Coup Plans Discovered!

David Waldman presses the kinks out of the chaos one more time this week before we briefly part company. The newly released "Donald K Trump National Security Strategy" breaks the news to NATO and others that all of those "treaties", "alliances" and "pacts" we share are beginning to feel a bit restrictive lately and perhaps we should all start seeing some more racially, theocratically pure, and profitable dictatorships for a while. We certainly still desire a committed relationship of course, but the kind in which others should never trust us. Trump is the youngest president who ever lived. He's the most president the US has ever had. Mean people won't let him have everything. They are nasty people. Nice people give him things. They are great people. You can bet that CNN will report on how you can bet on anything CNN reports. Military officials showed lawmakers video of the two shipwreck survivors who sat out in the water 40 minutes before anyone had realized the danger presented by the piece of boat that they were floating on and vaporized it, and subsequently, them. Gop Cory Mills might be an awful congressman, an awful tenant, and an awful human being, but he turns out to be an awful bad guy as well. On the other hand, Kash Patel manages to do all of his stupid things ineptly. 

This week Labor committed additional military support for Ukraine in its war against Russia as part of a Nato-led initiative. The government also announced new sanctions on Russia's so-called shadow fleet of oil tankers, which are a source of revenue for Moscow. Amid these announcements and in the last week of Senate estimates, foreign affairs minister Penny Wong speaks to political editor Tom McIlroy about a tumultuous year in international affairs. The senator reflects on attending the second inauguration of Donald Trump and her continued close engagement with Australia's Pacific neighbours – in an increasingly unpredictable world order

Canada is in the midst of reframing its approach to military spending. The reasons for this are twofold; a commitment to fulfilling NATO spending as part of GDP, and the push to diversify spending away from the U.S. To that end, Prime Minister Mark Carney has recently signed a deal joining the EU's military procurement fund, granting Canada access to both selling and purchasing defence materiel.Steven Chase, The Globe's senior parliamentary reporter, is on the show to discuss what this means for our burgeoning national defence industry, the political considerations involved, and where our national armed forces go from here.Questions?

This episode tears apart the official narrative of Muammar Gaddafi and exposes the real forces behind his rise and destruction. Far from the “madman” portrayed in Western media, Gaddafi built Africa's highest standard of living, funded free housing, healthcare, and education, engineered the world's largest water project, and moved to liberate Africa from Western banking through a gold-backed dinar. From CIA memos to his explosive 2009 UN speech calling out Big Pharma, from the manufactured Lockerbie case to NATO's 2011 regime-change war, we trace how a sovereign, debt-free nation became a target the moment it threatened the petrodollar, French finance, and global corporate power. In the end, Libya wasn't destroyed because it was weak; it was destroyed because it was becoming too strong, too independent, and too willing to expose the system that runs the world.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comWebsite: https://www.thefacthunter.comSubStack: https://substack.com/@thefacthunter

The latest round of Ukraine-Russia peace talks have been the most complex and lengthy since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia began in February 2022.The latest round of talks started two weeks ago with a leaked 28-point draft peace proposal which alarmed Ukrainian and European officials who said that it was weighted too much in Moscow's favour. The proposal would have seen Ukraine cede territory to Russia, Russia readmitted to the G8 and Ukraine banned from joining Nato.There followed a 20-point plan, and then a 27-point plan. The talks – with the US represented by special envoy Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner – moved from Geneva to Moscow where, on Tuesday, five hours of talks with Russian president Vladimer Putin around the table yielded no agreement. Talks are currently taking place in Miami.Putin has been clear, Russia is winning the war and while he is willing to come to the table to negotiate, there is no urgency. Ukraine has indicated it too is keen for a deal – but not on any terms. While in Washington, the US president has been making hopeful noises, reflecting the widespread belief that he just wants to get a peace deal done.Meanwhile at home Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has been rocked by a corruption scandal that has seen his chief of staff, who had led the Ukrainian delegation at peace talks, resigning on Friday.Irish Times Europe Correspondent based in Kyiv, Dan McLaughlin, explains how the talks evolved and what next for the war.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon and Andrew McNair. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

War Gaming a Russian Invasion of Estonia: NATO's Article 5 Crisis — General Blaine Holt — General Holtdiscusses a scenario derived from Carlo Masala's book If Russia Wins, depicting Russian military seizure of the Estonian town of Narva in 2028 using ambiguous hybrid tactics. Holt emphasizes that this scenario exposes NATO'sfundamental bureaucratic paralysis, organizational hesitation to invoke Article 5 collective defense provisions, and the catastrophic risk of nuclear miscalculation when confronting strategically ambiguous Russian aggression that blurs the distinction between conventional military action and state-sponsored covert operations. 1927 POLAND

NATO and Europe have thrown everything they can at this conflict and it hasn't worked. Now they're next plan is to preemptively attack Russia. Desperate people do desperate things. 

President Trump delivers a wide-ranging announcement focused on terminating Biden's CAFE standards and reversing the regulatory framework that forced automakers into costly electric-vehicle mandates. He outlines new rules aimed at lowering car prices, restoring consumer choice, and boosting domestic manufacturing, while highlighting massive investments from Ford, Stellantis, and General Motors as evidence of the industry's resurgence under tariff-driven policy. Trump emphasizes interest-deduction benefits for car buyers, warns against foreign influence and “green scam” policies, and celebrates rising auto-worker support. The announcement includes statements from industry leaders and lawmakers who describe the previous regulations as unworkable and economically destructive. Trump also fields extensive press questions, discussing Ukraine peace talks, Venezuela, immigration, military recruitment, NATO payments, drug-interdiction operations, and investigations targeting Biden-era officials.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss the announcement that only one house has been rebuilt since wildfires devastated the Pacific Palisades in Southern California, as Los Angeles city officials continue to block reconstruction efforts. Also, which party will pay the political price if there is no compromise on continuing Obamacare subsidies before the end of the year? Then, Reagan Institute Policy Director Rachel Hoff joins Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon to discuss a new poll from the Institute on American attitudes toward foreign policy issues, including support for NATO and Ukraine and views on the role of artificial intelligence in the U.S. military. And then, Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss Turning Point USA's public reaction to Candace Owens, who has spread conspiracy theories about the assassination of Charlie Cook, and Charlie Kirk Show producer Blake Neff's invitation to Owens to appear on a special program dedicated to answering her accusations. Also, a new poll from the Media Research Center shows that only 24 percent of respondents correctly described Kirk's alleged assassin as holding left-wing views..

Diverse versioni di Mr Arbitrium sono state installate su edifici e chiese a Milano, Firenze, Lucca, Servezza, Carrara, Pietrasanta e persino in Ucraina.This ambiguity turns us as viewers into the protagonists, challenging our beliefs about the meaning of these structures and our connection to them. Versions of Mister Arbitrium have been installed against buildings and churches in Milan, Florence, Lucca, Servezza, Carrara, Pietrasanta and even Ukraine.Giannelli accoglie Mike sul prato della tenuta di famiglia, dove la sua serie di sculture in bronzo I Sospesi è appesa agli alberi e un simpatico labrador nero giace sull'erba.  Giannelli welcomes Mike on the lawn of the family estate, where his series of bronze sculptures I Sospesi hang from the trees, and a friendly black labrador lies on the grass. Emanuele è arrivato a Carrara a diciannove anni per studiare scultura all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara, stabilendosi qui in Versilia, dove la sua famiglia aveva vissuto nelle generazioni precedenti. All'Accademia ha scelto di lavorare l'argilla piuttosto che il marmo, per la flessibilità che offre e per la natura più concettuale del suo lavoro. Emanuele came to Carrara at nineteen to study sculpture at the Carrara Academy of Fine Arts, settling here in Versilia, where his family had lived in previous generations. At the Academy he chose to work in clay rather than marble, due to the flexibility it offers and the nature of his work being more conceptual.Giannelli racconta a Mike di come, in gioventù, abbia trascorso del tempo a New York, Londra e Berlino, subendo l'influenza della fantascienza, del cinema, dei graffiti, della musica elettronica e del punk rock. Alla fine è tornato a Pietrasanta, luogo più adatto per crescere una famiglia.Giannelli tells Mike how in his youth he spent time in New York, London and Berlin and was influenced by science fiction, cinema, graffiti, electronic music, and punk rock. Eventually he returned to Pietrasanta which was more conducive to raising a family.Ricorda la gioia di incontrare artigiani e visitare i laboratori che allora si trovavano nel centro di Pietrasanta. E gli piacevano anche le feste e la vita sociale con tanti giovani, soprattutto stranieri, tedeschi, francesi e americani.He recalls the joy of meeting artisans and visiting the workshops which were then in the centre of Pietrasanta. And he also enjoyed the parties and social life with lots of young people, especially foreigners, Germans, French, and Americans.The Watcher è una scultura che osserva il cielo con binocoli, cosa che gli esseri umani hanno sempre fatto. Tuttavia, ora, grazie alla tecnologia, sta cercando di guardare oltre. Emanuele afferma che “oltre” gli fa pensare anche alla spiritualità. The Watcher is a sculpture who looks up with binoculars at the sky, which is something humans have always done. However now, through technology, he is trying to look beyond. Emanuele says that ‘beyond' also makes him think of spirituality.Un'altra opera che cita con un tema visionario è Korf, un uomo che sta in piedi davanti al suo monitor, con le braccia incrociate, lo sguardo rivolto verso l'alto, alla ricerca della sua visione e del suo futuro.Another work he mentions with a visionary theme is Korf, a man who stands watching on his monitor, arms crossed, gaze turned upwards, searching for his vision and his future.Emanuele afferma che, pur non credendo in un codice chiamato religione, crede molto negli esseri umani. Dice che, sebbene siamo animali e abbiamo un senso di autodistruzione, siamo animali straordinari. Le sue opere si collocano tra il figurativo e il concettuale, riflettendo sul periodo contemporaneo caratterizzato da cambiamenti incredibilmente rapidi. Emanuele says although he doesn't believe in a code called religion, he believes very much in human beings. He says that although we are animals, and have a sense of self-destruction, we are extraordinary animals. His works are pitched between figurative and conceptual, reflecting on the contemporary period of incredibly fast-moving change.emanuelegiannelli.itinstagram.com/emanuele.giannelli

PREVIEW — General Blaine Holt (USAF, Retired) — Flexible Deterrents for Russian Escalation. General Holtdiscusses American strategic options for responding to imminent Russian military aggression independent of NATOalliance consultation and collective defense invocation. Holt argues that rather than immediate direct kinetic conflict engagement, the National Security Council would prioritize implementation of "flexible deterrent options," encompassing financial sanctions mechanisms, clandestine intelligence operations, and asymmetric cost impositions designed to dissuade Moscow from executing further military escalation. Holt emphasizes that this graduated response framework preserves escalation control while demonstrating American resolve and imposing sufficient strategic costs to render Russian aggression calculations unfavorable relative to continued status quo. 1962 OPERATION  IVY KING

Day 1,378.Today, as the world reacts to the marathon – but ultimately fruitless – talks in Moscow on Tuesday night, we examine how the impasse will shape today's meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers and, also in Brussels, the European Council's discussions on frozen Russian assets and the ‘new era' the EU says it is entering, free from Russian fossil fuels. Plus, our Russia expert assesses Moscow's ‘caviar diplomacy' and its growing problems in Africa, and we report how Australia and New Zealand are stepping up their support for Ukraine. Finally, we hear the assessment of Ukraine's former Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, on the current state of the war – and whether he harbours any ambition to succeed President Zelensky.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor, Defence). @DomNicholls on X.James Kilner (Foreign Correspondent). @jkjourno on X.With thanks to Latika Bourke. @latikambourke on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Ukraine is back in the headlines as President Donald Trump puts forth new peace proposals to the international community. To make sense of where the conflict currently sits and what ending the war would entail, Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the core questions behind the conflict: Why did Putin invade? Why does Russia keep fighting? Why won't NATO fully support Ukraine? And what will it take to end the war? All on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “What is the dispute left about? Ukraine's not gonna be in NATO. Putin knows that. All it is, where is the DMZ? Does Putin get to push areas westward that Ukraine, Ukrainians are currently in and fighting successfully and he can't dislodge, or not? So, that's what we're gonna, that's what the dispute is over, and the security guarantees. “If Ukraine is not in NATO, how can it defend the next invasion from Russia? Well, it's the greatest military in Europe right now. It's battle-hardened. It's got a huge army. It's well supplied. Will that continue? Will the EU or NATO continue to arm it? Will the United States back them up in extremis?”

A nursery worker, 45-year-old Vincent Chan, has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing young children in his care in north London, in a case described by the Metropolitan Police as one of the "most harrowing and complex" it had ever undertaken. Also: European and NATO leaders are stepping up pressure on Russia, a day after Vladimir Putin accused them of blocking efforts to find peace in Ukraine; and the Women's Institute has announced that trans women will be banned from membership from next April.

On this Midweek Show the host opens with a spirited "Word on Word" scripture segment and checks in on an alarming December deep freeze predicted across much of North America. He urges listeners to prepare practically and to build community ties in the face of severe weather. The episode then dives into immigration and domestic security concerns, including a short clip of Secretary Noem on alleged visa fraud linked to Somali immigrants in Minnesota. The host reviews claims about welfare dependency, alleged visa fraud rates, and money-laundering concerns while criticizing local leadership. He also discusses explosive allegations raised in the broadcast about Representative Ilhan Omar, framed as issues the host believes deserve scrutiny. Turning to law enforcement and intelligence, the show plays a clip from Kash Patel defending recent FBI results and highlighting arrests, child recoveries, counter‑intelligence wins and fentanyl interdictions. The host praises some operational outcomes but expresses frustration that, despite years of alleged corruption, there have been few high‑profile prosecutions or "perp walks." He questions timing and accountability while weighing anonymous-source journalism versus measurable results. On the economy the program covers optimistic fiscal claims: projected large tariff-funded tax refunds, talk of lowering or eliminating income tax, and a new initiative to seed investment accounts for children (including a multi‑billion pledge from private industry). The host calls the child‑savings idea promising while contrasting it with what he sees as worrying Canadian fiscal decisions. Internationally the episode critiques Canadian policy moves (a major pension fund investment overseas, proposed hate‑speech legislation, and defense commitments) and plays clips from NATO leadership and a Treasury official about increased European pledges to buy U.S. military equipment. The host interprets higher NATO spending as a U.S. arms windfall and argues many Western economies are being strained by sustained war support, while also suggesting Ukraine has become a financial laundromat tied to wider geopolitical interests. Venezuela, drugs and the use of military force are also discussed: the host highlights presidential comments telegraphing strikes on drug networks and extractive facilities, and warns that war — or other extreme measures — remains a real risk as global tension escalates. He frames these developments in a larger narrative about a battle between "dark and light," technocratic control, and the potential for large‑scale destabilizing events. Near the end of the episode the host announces a temporary shift in production: he will scale back video (Rumble) shows to focus on long‑running projects, continue regular Podbean episodes when possible, and promises occasional spot updates. He invites listeners to a nightly prayer meeting on Telegram, asks for support in spreading the show, and closes with a personal exhortation to love God and neighbors and to strengthen local community ties. This episode mixes news clips, political commentary and personal updates. Listeners can expect passionate opinion, clip‑based analysis (including voices from Secretary Noem, Kash Patel and NATO/treasury officials), broad international and domestic policy discussion, and practical calls for community preparedness and faith‑based action.

CannCon and Ashe in America open with sponsor updates and hockey banter before diving straight into the Tennessee special election, where Democrats are already spinning a nine-point GOP win into momentum talking points. They move into Dallas County's move toward hand counting, stressing civic involvement and the broader fight over election integrity. The show then shifts to a heated discussion on immigration after Judge Beryl Howell's new constraints on warrantless arrests and the ACLU's role in shaping enforcement. CannCon and Ashe dig into Minneapolis' Somali-language political speech controversy, Trump's remarks on Minnesota visa fraud, and the broader battle over national identity. From there, they dissect Supreme Court arguments, DOJ investigations, and the political weaponization of the legal system, including the Comey-era “Arctic Haze” probe and ongoing leak issues. The episode also covers Trump's Monroe Doctrine “corollary,” Europe's escalating rhetoric toward Russia, fractured NATO relations, and the shifting landscape in Ukraine. They close by examining Rand Paul's critique of the Venezuela drug-boat strikes, Trump's defense of kinetic action against cartels, and NBC's new polling showing Americans abandoning faith in the four-year college model.

Ghost breaks down a packed geopolitical landscape, starting with Maduro's message to Trump accusing U.S. agencies of fueling the Aragua Train cartel and outlining the role of DEA informant Alex Saab in exposing cartel and corporate networks. He then moves to Ukraine, covering Trump's 19-point peace plan, Wyckoff and Kushner's meeting with Putin, deep corruption inside Zelensky's circle, and NATO's escalating rhetoric as Europe faces internal fractures. From there, Ghost tracks major realignments in the Middle East as Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia all arrive in Tehran at the same time, signaling a possible regional power shift. He closes with rising tension around Syria, Netanyahu's political crisis, and Russia's expanding influence, tying together how each region is reshaping global power all at once.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan exposes a billion-dollar Somali fraud ring in Minnesota, breaks down Washington's new terror finance investigation, and explains how decades of immigration, politics, and cultural denial allowed the scheme to flourish. He then turns to global flashpoints involving Venezuela, Ukraine, deep-sea espionage, and a major warning from the CIA to Britain about Chinese infiltration. Minnesota Meltdown and Somali Fraud Network: A sweeping federal and state investigation has uncovered more than one billion dollars in fraud committed by Somali-run nonprofits in Minnesota. Money meant for disabled children, addicts, and food assistance was instead funneled into luxury lifestyles and sent to al-Shabaab in Somalia. State officials knew years ago that the organizations were bogus, yet Democrat leaders like Governor Tim Walz expanded funding and backed off oversight after Somali activists accused them of racism. Bryan cites the New York Times report confirming the scale of the crime and the cultural norms behind it.   Treasury Department Opens Terror Finance Probe: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has launched a new national security investigation into Minnesota's Somali crime rings after evidence showed U.S. taxpayer cash was being carried in suitcases to Mogadishu to fund Islamist clan conflicts. Bryan notes that virtually all offenders are naturalized or U.S.-born citizens, which means deportation will require de-naturalization rather than standard immigration enforcement.   Judges and Police Under Pressure: Minnesota's political climate has made honest policing and prosecution nearly impossible. The Minneapolis police chief apologized after acknowledging Somali youth crime, and a local judge overturned a jury verdict in a seven-million-dollar Medicaid fraud case despite overwhelming evidence. Bryan argues that political fear of offending a key voting bloc has paralyzed the state's justice system.   Venezuela Double Tap Controversy: New reporting confirms that eleven cartel boat operators were killed during a U.S. strike in early September, including a possible second strike that hit wounded survivors. The White House says the second hit was ordered lawfully by SOCOM's Admiral Mitch Bradley, not by President Trump or Secretary Pete Hegseth. Democrats insist it is a war crime, and Republicans say they will investigate.   Ukraine Turmoil and Russian Advances: Zelenskyy's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, resigned after corruption raids, deepening Ukraine's internal crisis. Russia captured the key city of Pokrovsk and is now striking deeper into Ukraine's interior. Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff meets Vladimir Putin today for a high-stakes round of peace talks.   Russian Spy Network Under the Arctic: French and British media uncovered a fifteen-year Russian operation called Harmony that built an underwater surveillance web of cables and sensors in the Barents Sea. The network tracks NATO and U.S. submarines near Russia's nuclear bases. The CIA and European services have been secretly countering the effort for years.   CIA Warns Britain Over Chinese Water Takeover: The CIA and senior Trump officials privately urged British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to block a Chinese purchase of Thames Water, the utility that supplies London. U.S. intelligence warns that Chinese ownership could jeopardize American troops in Britain and give Beijing control over critical UK infrastructure.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Minnesota Somali fraud one billion dollars, Feeding Our Future scandal, Tim Walz political pressure, Scott Bessent terror finance probe, Somali de-naturalization debate, Venezuela cartel boat double tap, SOCOM Admiral Mitch Bradley decision, Zelenskyy Yermak corruption resignation, Pokrovsk Russian advance, Operation Harmony Barents Sea, CIA warns UK Thames Water China
