Headlines argue. We read the document. This week we unpack the newest dietary guidelines with a clear, practical lens: what the recommendations actually say, why they still look a lot like Mediterranean and DASH patterns, and how to turn them into everyday choices that reduce risk without wrecking joy. We start with the big shift that matters most—focusing on overall dietary patterns instead of obsessing over single nutrients—then dig into the hot spots that shape real health outcomes.We cut through the noise on saturated fat by pairing mechanism with food context, explaining why a simple cap exists and how whole foods complicate the picture. Added sugar gets a brighter spotlight: from the outsized impact of sugar-sweetened beverages to easy swaps like unsweetened tea and low-sugar prebiotic sodas that don't torpedo your day. We revisit whole grains for their fiber and cardiometabolic benefits, highlight protein variety to reduce reliance on processed meats, and pull forward the growing evidence on ultra-processed foods and why they often lead to overeating even when macros match.Alcohol guidance is evolving too. We talk candidly about shifting from “maybe helpful” to “not necessary,” the ripple effects on sleep and recovery, and simple ways to keep the ritual while skipping the drag on health. Throughout, we remind listeners that population-level guidelines are meant to lower risk across millions of lives; personalized nutrition still belongs with you and your clinician or dietitian. Our goal is a calm, confident roadmap: fewer absolutes, more usable habits, and a pattern you can actually maintain.If this helps you stress less about food, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves a good label read, and leave a quick review so others can find the show.Send us a message with this link, we would love to hear from you.

“I've gone into this year with less pressure on myself and have not been afraid to put myself in a vulnerable situation. I'm not afraid to lose anymore and I'm not scared to put myself in a situation to lose. I don't mind getting to the front of the race and pushing it or trying to control it so that it suits my needs a bit better than other people's. That's been the biggest change this year.”My guest for today's episode is Gracie Morris. If you watch the final 100 meters of the USATF Indoor Championships 1500m final, you know exactly why she's here. With 100 meters to go, Gracie was sitting in 4th place. A World Indoor team spot looked just out of reach, but when that inside rail opened up on the final turn, she didn't hesitate.She surged through on the inside, closed in 14.3 seconds for her final 100 meters, and crossed the finish line in 4:11 to claim second place and her first World Championships berth on the track. Nikki Hiltz won yet another U.S. title, so that's your team for this month's World Championships.What makes Gracie Morris's rise even more impressive is her trajectory. At TCU, she qualified for NCAAs twice but never made a final. Fast forward a year and she's a member of Puma Elite and has transformed into a dangerous miler in the United States. In 2025 alone, she won the Sir Walter Mile and the Fifth Avenue Mile. She also claimed the U.S. 2K cross country title and dropped her 1500m personal best from 4:08 to 4:04. This year, she's already run 4:02.In this conversation, we talk about that decisive final lap, the lessons she's learned about racing instincts, and the steady belief that got her through years of injuries in high school and college.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavezGuest: Gracie Morris | @ggraciemorrisProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: A blast from the past, Olipop's Shirley Temple combines smooth vanilla flavor with bright lemon and lime, finished with cherry juice for that nostalgic grenadine-like flavor.

The Panamanian government formally took over the two ports operated by Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison this week at both ends of the Panama Canal. U.S. officials celebrated the move as part of their larger effort to expel China from the Western Hemisphere. Washington has now set its sights on the Chinese-owned Chancay mega port in Peru. But given the extent of Chinese engagement in Latin America, most notably the fact that the region does more than half-a-trillion dollars of trade annually with China, is it even possible for the U.S. to expel the Chinese? Pedro Armada, a Panama City-based risk consultant who closely follows the U.S.-China rivalry in Latin America, joins Eric to discuss what happens next following the expulsion of CK Hutchison from the canal zone and what it means for the rest of Latin America.

This year,Murphy's photography will reach millions in a new way: his imageof a modern American bison, powerfully superimposed by a 1923historic stamp counterpart, has been selected for an upcoming U.S.postage stamp — an enduring tribute to one of the nation's most iconicsymbols and the landscapes that define us. But TomMurphy is more than a celebrated photographer. He is a living witness to America'swild places. If you've ever been moved by an image of anAmerican bison, the wolves of Yellowstone, orthe vast, untamedbeauty of the American West, chances are you've already encounteredhis work. Raised on a7,500-acre cattle ranch, Murphy learned early what he didn't want— to chase cows — and what he couldn't live without:clean air, wide horizons, and wild land. By the 1970s, Murphy had becomea professional photographer, beginning a lifelong love affair withYellowstone National Park. Overdecades, Murphy has skied more than 2,000 miles through Yellowstone's backcountry and hiked many thousands more.He has crossed thepark on skis three times in winter — once on a 175-mile solo tripin 14 days. These extraordinary journeys granted him rare access tofree-roaming wildlife in their natural environment, resultingin images defined by intimacy, respect, and awe. His workhas been exhibited in galleries, museums, and major national venues, andpublished in National Geographic, Audubon, Time, Newsweek, The NewYork Times Magazine, and Esquire. Murphy's photography has alsoappeared in documentaries and television, including the PBS Nature filmChristmas in Yellowstone. His firstbook, Silence and Solitude, won the 2002 Montana Book Award, and itscompanion film — produced by Montana PBS — earned an Emmy nominationfor photography and videography. Murphy also created the acclaimedSeasons of Yellowstone series and several other long-form visualprojects celebrating the rhythms of the natural world. Beyond hisartistic achievements, Murphy has dedicated his life to conservation and service. He leads WildernessPhotography Expeditions, guidingphotographers into what he calls “natural cathedrals,” withproceeds donated to environmental organizations. He has served on theNational Advisory Council of Yellowstone Forever, the Park County Environmental Council, and is a co-founder ofthe Park County Search and RescueTeam, which he helped organize in 1982. Murphy'snext book, Yellowstone Bison The Return of the Last Wild Herd, isslated for release in May 2026 — an expansive visual and historicaltribute to the animal that has shaped both the American landscapeand its identity. In an eraof speed and spectacle, Tom Murphy's work reminds us to slow down,look closer, and remember what still endures.

Guest: Elizabeth Kennedy TrudeauBradford M. Freeman Managing Director for Global Policy at the George W.

Lester Kiewit spoke to former U.S. embassy spokesperson to South Africa, Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau, now with the George W. Bush Institute, who described the moment not as a rupture, but as part of the natural ebb and flow of diplomacy between two strategic partners.

TikTok has shifted to a majority-American entity, TikTok USDS Joint Venture, LLC, to comply with U.S. national security requirements and avoid a ban.

The recent House Judiciary Committee hearing featuring Attorney General Pam Bondi turned into a chaotic spectacle, with Democrats like Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Wash.) dramatically demanding that Bondi turn around and apologize directly to Jeffrey Epstein victims seated behind her, only for Bondi to dismiss it as "theatrics" and refuse outright. She relied on a bizarre "burn book" binder of prepped personal attacks on Democrats, flipping pages on cue from staff to hurl unrelated insults instead of answering straightforward questions, which one lawmaker mocked by begging her to find his own page.

A new report addressed to the U.S. government has highlighted the growing threat of anime and manga piracy, with the industry's top illegal streaming sites coming into the crosshairs of international piracy watchdogs.According to a recent report by the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) to the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), anime piracy sites consistently ranked among the top illegal platforms in countries including China, South Africa, India and Vietnam.The IIPA particularly highlighted the situation in India, noting that of the top 25 piracy sites currently available in the country, 10 are dedicated specifically to anime streaming, while another seven focus on manga. This data indicates that 40% of the most-visited illegal platforms in one of the world's largest digital markets are now centered on anime.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois deliver a wide-ranging discussion that connects Canadian food policy, trade risk, pricing power, and the accelerating role of AI in restaurants. The episode is anchored by a forward-looking interview with Deborah Matteliano Simeoni, Global Head of Restaurants at Amazon Web Services (AWS), recorded live at the NRF Big Show in New York.The first half of the episode focuses on the state of Canadian agriculture and food affordability. Sylvain shares firsthand insights from meetings with farmers across the Prairies, highlighting cautious optimism around renewed beef access to China alongside deep concern about U.S. trade policy and the durability of CUSMA. The hosts debate the federal government's grocery rebate program, questioning its long-term fiscal impact and contrasting it with a structural alternative: removing GST on food and foodservice to address affordability more directly.A key political and policy thread centers on Mark Wiseman, Canada's incoming Ambassador to the United States. Michael and Sylvain discuss Wiseman's previously published criticism of supply management, exploring whether his appointment signals potential pressure on the system during future Canada–U.S. trade negotiations—and whether Ottawa may ultimately position reforms as externally forced rather than domestically driven. The conversation situates supply management within broader competitiveness, trade credibility, and agri-food resilience debates.The hosts also examine PepsiCo's high-profile U.S. snack price reductions, questioning whether the move reflects margin recalibration, competitive signaling, or Super Bowl-era marketing—and why those cuts do not apply to Canada. Additional topics include the quiet disappearance of frozen orange juice concentrate, the continued normalization of food delivery, and why physical restaurants still matter as legitimizing anchors for digital-first and delivery-led food brands.The second half features an in-depth conversation with Deborah Matteliano Simeoni, who reframes AI not as an end goal, but as a tool for solving real restaurant challenges. Drawing on her experience launching Uber Eats and now advising global QSR brands at AWS, she explains how AI is improving drive-through accuracy, enhancing employee satisfaction, and enabling sophisticated personalization within loyalty ecosystems. Deborah emphasizes experimentation, data-driven learning, and customer-centric design as essential to scaling technology responsibly.Lastly we celebrate the Lobster Lady, still fishing at 101, leaving the earth at 103: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/business/virginia-oliver-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.J1A.q_7X.15lWPrsTltE7&smid=url-share About UsDr. Sylvain Charlebois is a Visiting Professor in Food Policy and Distribution at McGill University and a Professor in Food Distribution and Policy in the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

For decades, the American food pyramid was sold as “healthy,” yet it left many people confused and metabolically worse off—so much so that the federal government has now quietly flipped it upside down. In this episode, I explain what the pyramid got wrong, why this reversal matters, and the exact foods I prioritize first to support gut health, metabolism, and long-term wellness.For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/new-food-pyramidThank you to our sponsors!

This week we're talking about the tech industry's response to the killings by federal agents in Minneapolis and the federal government's strategy to control the narrative on social media. Then we follow Casey through his trial of a new open-source A.I. assistant called Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot) and consider whether it is worth the security risk. And, finally, it's time for a look at the rest of the week's tech news with a round of HatGPT.Additional Reading: False Posts and Altered Images Distort Views of Minnesota ShootingA Moment-by-Moment Look at the Shooting of Alex PrettiIt's a War: Inside ICE's Media MachineSome Amazon Employees Get ‘Project Dawn' Calendar Invitation Discussing Upcoming Job CutsTikTok Data Center Outage Triggers Trust Crisis for New U.S. OwnersFormer FTX Crypto Executive Caroline Ellison Released From Federal CustodyAnthropic C.E.O.'s Grave Warning: A.I.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 29, 2026. 0:30 A bizarre attempted jailbreak at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center turns into something far darker. We unpack the shocking story of a man posing as an FBI agent—armed not with a gun, but a pizza cutter—who tried to free Luigi Mangione, an accused cold-blooded killer with no bail. What starts as absurd buffoonery quickly exposes a disturbing cultural trend: the romanticization of murder and the erasure of victims in modern political discourse. From social media fan clubs celebrating an accused killer, to a broader indictment of the left’s moral inversion on life, justice, and accountability, we confront how a culture that excuses violence, ignores victims, and plays God cannot sustain a free society. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. A government shutdown is looming as the US Senate failed to pass a series of spending bills which had already been authorized by the House. The Communist Mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani announced this week that he wants to institute a wealth tax on New York Citizens. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar announced she's running for governor in her home state. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 A landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling on election law might be one of the most consequential decisions of this century—and a sharp rebuke to how the courts handled the 2020 election lawsuits. The cases were never truly heard, only dismissed on “standing,” raising serious questions about judicial responsibility, election integrity, and what it means for a free society when no one can challenge the law. 16:00 Do women get judged more harshly than men for the state of their homes? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the age-old double standard around house cleanliness, company panic, and who really gets blamed when the house is a mess. From a Good Housekeeping study that proves women are judged more for dirty rooms, to hilarious confessions about “scary moms,” hoarder husbands, and shutting the bedroom door, the conversation hits close to home. With humor, honesty, and a few guilty admissions of judgment, the American Mamas dig into social expectations, mom guilt, messy vs. truly dirty houses, and why women often carry the mental load of keeping a home presentable. It’s a funny, honest discussion about motherhood, marriage, cleanliness standards, and the unspoken rules women are expected to live by—especially when company is coming over. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We take on a morally offensive story that is impossible to ignore: Hunter Biden’s continued refusal to meet or acknowledge his seven-year-old daughter, Navy Joan Roberts. From the Biden family’s long denial of her existence to the media’s role in looking the other way, the conversation digs into why this scandal matters far beyond partisan politics. The discussion exposes the details of Hunter Biden’s child support case, including a court agreement where the child’s mother agreed to accept far less money—on one condition: that he meet his daughter. He still hasn’t. This isn’t about politics, money, or embarrassment, but about responsibility, fatherhood, and a culture that has lost its sense of shame. It’s a blunt, emotional look at family values, accountability, and why abandoning a child should never be normalized in America. 26:30 New U.S. Census Bureau data for 2025 reveals a dramatic slowdown in population growth—and the reasons why matter more than the headline. We break down how the end of mass illegal immigration and the start of deportations have exposed a deeper problem: America isn’t having enough babies to grow its population naturally. What looks like stagnation is actually a demographic warning sign. From shrinking workforces and collapsing entitlement systems to state-by-state population declines in places like California, Hawaii, and Vermont, the conversation connects the census numbers to culture, economics, and long-term national survival. Pointing to examples from Japan, Europe, and China, we make the case that children are not burdens but blessings—and warn that a nation unwilling to value life and family is choosing population decline and economic instability. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 New video evidence is raising fresh questions in the case of Alex Pretti, the man killed during an altercation with ICE officers in Minneapolis. We urge caution as more details emerge, including footage from an encounter just days before the fatal shooting that shows Pretti taunting officers, spitting on law enforcement, damaging a federal vehicle, and attempting to flee arrest. While the new video offers insight into Pretti’s recent behavior and mindset, it does not automatically justify the shooting itself. We break down what is known, what remains unclear, and why investigations—not knee-jerk conclusions—matter in emotionally charged use-of-force cases. 36:00 In a surprising Bright Spot we revisit a 2010 speech from President Barack Obama that sounds strikingly different from today’s Democratic talking points on illegal immigration. In the clip, Obama argues for border enforcement, accountability, deportations, and fairness for legal immigrants—positions that mirror long-held conservative views on immigration policy. What was considered common-sense immigration policy in 2010 is now labeled “fascism” by many on the left, despite Democrats controlling Washington at the time. Immigration enforcement didn’t change because the law changed—but because political will did, exposing a dramatic ideological flip on borders, sovereignty, and the rule of law. 39:30 For the first time in 26 years, U.S. steel production has surged past Japan—marking a major milestone for American manufacturing and national security. We break down how the United States reclaimed its spot as the world’s third-largest steel producer and why it didn’t happen by accident, but by design under President Donald Trump’s America First trade policies. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with an archaeological find that will make you say, "Whoa!" Articles Partial government shutdown looms after funding deal failure Mamdani seeks wealth tax to plug NYC's $12B budget gap Klobuchar launches bid for Minnesota governor New Census Data Signals A Coming Republican Edge In 2030 New US population data filled with alarming, surprising findings 2010.

This podcast explores the newly released 2025-2030 USDA/HHS Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This health reboot represents a fundamental shift toward real, whole foods to combat the rising tide of chronic disease and obesity.  Moving away from clinical calculations, the new standards prioritize protein intake at every meal, the consumption of full-fat dairy without added sugars, and a diet rich in produce and healthy fats. This policy overhaul explicitly discourages ultra-processed foods and refined carbohydrates, aiming to simplify nutritional advice into a common-sense framework. Ultimately, the success of this nutrition reboot depends on making these nutrient-dense options affordable and accessible for the average family.

New U.S. Census Bureau data that will determine OZ 2.0 eligibility is scheduled to be released on Thursday, January 29, 2026. But with a potential government shutdown looming, questions remain about whether Treasury's official list of eligible census tracts could be delayed. On this month's episode of OZ NewsHour, Jimmy Atkinson and Andy Hagans break down what the data release means for OZ 2.0. Show notes & summary: ⁠https://opportunityzones.com/2026/01/oznh-jan-2026/

A court in California is hearing the first "bellwether" case brought by the public against social media companies for their addictive and targeted algorithms being used against children. ABC's Tech Reporter Mike Dobuski walks through the case and what this could mean for social media going forward. Mike also brings the latest on what's happened with the TikTok app since the U.S. took majority ownership.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas breaks down the newly released 2025–2030 US dietary guidelines and explains why they represent a long-overdue shift in nutrition science. He covers protein intake, dairy, fats, ultra-processed foods, and life-stage nutrition, and shows how these changes directly support bone health and longevity.2025-2030 US dietary guidelines: https://cdn.realfood.gov/DGA.pdf

When the U.S. government released the new 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, most people probably didn't notice what didn't make headlines. But something important changed. For the first time in decades, the federal government removed specific drinking limits from its alcohol guidance. Gone was the already-weak recommendation of no more than one drink per day for women. Also missing? Any clear warning about alcohol's well-established link to cancer. What replaced it was vague language encouraging people to “drink less.” That might sound harmless. Reasonable, even. But when you look closely at the science—and the political and economic forces surrounding alcohol—this shift isn't neutral. It's dangerous. And it represents a clear retreat from evidence-based public health guidance at a time when alcohol-related harm in the U.S. is rising. In this episode, I'm taking a position:The new U.S. alcohol guidelines caved to Big Alcohol—and the consequences matter.

New U.S. citizen Agustina Vergara Cid joins Josh to share why she chose this moment to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming an American. They discuss two of her recent articles. The first explores the founding principles that make America exceptional and the disastrous consequences when the nation strays from them. Her clear message to fellow Americans: We must take pride in our founding principles and hold our leaders accountable to them. The second article highlights the economic progress in her former country of Argentina under libertarian President Javier Milei. They examine how his pro-market reforms have stabilized the economy and share real-life stories of Argentinians who, for the first time in years, now have genuine hope for the future.   Augustina's articles: https://newideal.aynrand.org/how-trump-resembles-those-who-ruined-argentina/. if-you-really-love-america-push-it i-just-came-back-from-argentina-mileis-economy-is-working   Follow Agustina on X, Substack, and at Young Voices: agustinavcid https://substack.com/@agustinavcid agustina-vergara-cid  

When the Department of Health and Human Services unveiled the latest edition of the guidelines, food professionals met the news with a combination of cheers, concerns, and questions. Chief Editor Jenni Spinner shares an overview of the guidelines, as well as responses from key industry leaders.

On this unscripted Wednesday morning edition of Right On Radio Live (Jan 14, 2026), host Jeff is joined by returning guest John Brisson for a wide-ranging conversation that mixes scripture, geopolitics, and spiritual counsel. The episode opens with "Word on Word," comparing 1 John 4:20–21 and Proverbs 22:4 and setting a theme of love, humility, and Christian conduct for the show. Jeff and John review listener reactions, then pivot into foreign policy: an extended discussion about U.S. pressure on Cuba, Iran, and Canada—arguing that tariffs and economic choke points can be used to "starve" populations into uprisings. They debate the ethics and pragmatics of regime change, express anti-war reservations, and weigh whether nonmilitary methods (à la recent actions in Venezuela) could remove oppressive regimes without bloodshed. The hosts analyze Donald Trump's current strategy and influence: Panama Canal and Venezuelan actions, pressure on global choke points, the prospect of Greenland and missile-defense priorities, Space Force and satellite-to-satellite warfare, and the upcoming Davos address. They discuss signals suggesting a bold 2026 for Trump (including talk of a “golden age”), market manipulations, cabinet and policy moves (credit-card rules, housing and tariff plans), and possible legal and political flashpoints such as contempt or Supreme Court rulings. Another major strand: evidence of pro-Trump messaging inside government accounts. Jeff and John point to Q-style posts allegedly appearing in the Department of Labor, USPS, and other places, and reflect on the psychological and information-warfare environment—bots, paid influencers, and rapid false narratives that make discernment difficult. They connect these developments to biblical prophecy concerns (Antichrist language, Daniel references) and the idea that some political solutions may pave the way for darker systems disguised as peace. Throughout the episode the hosts return to pastoral counsel: spiritual warfare is real, believers must pray for discernment, and Christian virtues—love, humility, and fear of the Lord—remain the anchor amid political chaos. They encourage listeners to join a corporate prayer call, read scripture, and approach current events with both sober vigilance and hope rooted in eternal promises. Guest: John Brisson. Key takeaways include the two guiding scriptures for daily life, the contested morality of economic pressure as foreign policy, signs to watch in 2026 (political boldness, legal battles, and global maneuvers), the rise of coordinated pro‑Trump messaging inside institutions, and repeated exhortations to prayer, community, and Scripture as the primary resources for believers facing turbulent times.

America's new National Security Strategy reflects a fundamental change in U.S. strategy. The policy, published at the end of last week, prioritizes America maintaining its preeminence in the Western Hemisphere, avoiding military competition with China and asking Europe to stand on its own feet. Many of these policies are not surprising. But the White House's decision to commit them to paper has given the world a more definitive view of American thinking. This week on Talking Geopolitics, host Christian Smith is again joined by GPF Chairman George Friedman to break down the strategy, what it means for the U.S. and the world, and whether it is an ideological shift or just natural geopolitics in the 21st century.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on Thursday announced a new plan for operating the Central Valley Project, a vast system of pumps, dams, and canals that direct water southward from the state’s wetter north. It follows an executive order President Donald Trump signed in January calling for more water to flow to farmers, arguing the state was wasting the precious resource in the name of protecting endangered fish species. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said the plan will help the federal government “strengthen California’s water resilience.” It takes effect Friday. But California officials and environmental groups blasted the move, saying sending significantly more water to farmlands could threaten water delivery to the rest of the state and would harm salmon and other fish. Most of the state’s water is in the north, but most of its people are in the south.

Representative Nick Begich (AK-At Large) introduced House Joint Resolution 131, stripping Biden-era restrictions on oil and gas exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Rep. Begich’s resolution has passed the House of Representatives and the Senate and is headed to President Trump’s desk for signature. Alaska's congressional delegation on Thursday succeeded in stripping Biden-era protections from the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, moving to expand opportunities for drilling there. The U.S. Senate voted to eliminate the 2024 leasing program for the refuge that put much of the refuge's 1.6-million-acre coastal plain off-limits to potential drilling.  The vote does a lot more than just open the door for potential oil and gas activity.  This is another step in unlocking America’s treasure chest. The areas in question in ANWR are estimated to hold 7.7 billion barrels of oil recoverable with current technology, and the U.S. Geological Survey has estimated that there may be hundreds of millions of barrels in other areas to the west of the ANWR sites.

The Act applies to unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials that relate to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Consequently, the later-enacted and specific language of the Act trumps Rule 6's prohibition on disclosure. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that United States' Expedited Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Transcripts and Modify Protective Order [DE 6] is GRANTED,” the judge wrote.

All efforts to control traditional and social media are efforts to control information. The specifics of the reasoning for the fine are typically European.  (1) Twitter allows ordinary people to deliver information at the same level as people who should be defined as more important.  (2)  Advertisers of those who pay for promotion of information on X are not easily identifiable – people need to figure it out on their own.  (3)  It is too difficult to figure out who is providing the information. Basically, all of the EU concerns center around information control.  It's really an ideology issue.  In the outlook of the EU, bureaucrats and elites feel they are superior and must rule/protect the people under them.  Ordinary people having access to information that may or may not be approved by the EU is the underlying issue.

Campo and Sensi agreed to launder $12 million and participate in narcotics trafficking for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, a/k/a Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion or CJNG. Per the Department of Justice: As part of the scheme, CAMPO and SENSI agreed to launder approximately $12,000,000 of CJNG narcotics proceeds; laundered approximately $750,000 by converting cash into cryptocurrency; and provided a payment for approximately 220 kilograms of cocaine on the understanding that the payment would trigger the distribution and sale of the narcotics worth approximately $5,000,000, for which CAMPO and SENSI would (i) receive directly a portion of the narcotics proceeds as profit; and (ii) receive a further commission upon the laundering of the balance of the narcotics proceeds.

During his appearance on Friday on the Sirius XM The Megyn Kelly Show podcast, Kelly started out by asking Patel if they believe they have the “proper suspect in custody” — if Tyler Robinson is “in fact, the man who killed Kirk.” Patel didn’t hesitate in the slightest and answered, “Yes.” The host then brought up one of the wild accusations that have been made by Owens, which includes claiming that Kirk’s own friends and his organization allegedly knew and approved of his murder. Insane. “Do you have any credible reason to believe that anyone connected with the Turning Point organization had anything to do with Charlie’s death?” Kelly asked. Patel’s response: “Zero.” He was then pressed about other claims that Owens has made about the alleged involvement of foreign governments in Kirk’s assassination, like French paratroopers, Egyptian Air Force planes flying out of Provo, Utah, and “potential underground assassins traveling through unseen tunnels,” as the producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, Blake Neff, previously explained. “At this time, the FBI doesn’t have credible information to connect any foreign governments to it,” Patel said. The FBI director made it clear that the investigation is continuing and they are looking into everything, no matter how small. “We are not done just because we arrest someone, just like in the pipe bomber case,” Patel said. “We don’t just say, Okay, we’re done, on to the next. The investigative team continues to work with the Utah authorities, and they’re deriving their own leads and coming back to us saying, ‘Hey, can you look at this piece of information? Can we get a search warrant on this account? What about this individual who is located in X, Y, or Z?'” Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/amuse/status/1996873942406164855?s=20 https://twitter.com/JesseBWatters/status/1997120806212546797?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1997120806212546797%7Ctwgr%5Ed963eef05511b000b3f2631742a9c8e0f0d3c2a2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbobhoge%2F2025%2F12%2F05%2Fdc-pipe-bomb-suspect-i-did-it-n2196869  AUTISTIC-LIKE”   SO Why didn't BIDEN'S FBI REALLY catch THIS GUY MS NOW reported that Brian Cole is a Trump supporter. https://twitter.com/DC_Draino/status/1996990984584933729?s=20 January 6 Pipe Bomb Suspect Brian Cole is NOT a Trump Supporter – Family Says He is an “Autistic Recluse” Who Lived in a Basement  January 6 pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole is not a Trump supporter like the legacy media has claimed.

Bondi's order is part of a broader counterterrorism plan after President Donald Trump's directives targeting the Antifa movement and organized political violence, Reuters and Bloomberg Law reported, citing a Thursday memo from Bondi. The FBI must provide within 30 days a list of groups “engaged in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism” along with strategies to disrupt them, with an emphasis on left-wing extremists, the memo reportedly says.  Bondi's memo directs law enforcement agencies to unearth whatever intelligence files they have on Antifa groups for investigators and to investigate unsolved domestic terrorism incidents over the past five years, Reuters and Bloomberg Law reported. The incidents may include the “doxxing” of law enforcement officers' personal information and threats against Supreme Court justices. The FBI must also streamline its tip line to allow members of the public to “send media” on suspected domestic terrorism, the memo says, according to Reuters.

The intent seems to be a return to the Monroe Doctrine by increasing the United States military presence in the Western Hemisphere, taking on the drug cartels, enhancing border security, making trade deals that are better for the United States, and enhancing American energy production. That’s not the worst high-level take on the NSS, but a look at the actual document is illustrative. The NSS states as its purpose: To ensure that America remains the world's strongest, richest, most powerful, and most successful country for decades to come, our country needs a coherent, focused strategy for how we interact with the world. And to get that right, all Americans need to know what, exactly, it is we are trying to do and why. A “strategy” is a concrete, realistic plan that explains the essential connection between ends and means: it begins from an accurate assessment of what is desired and what tools are available, or can realistically be created, to achieve the desired outcomes. A strategy must evaluate, sort, and prioritize. Not every country, region, issue, or cause—however worthy—can be the focus of American strategy. The purpose of  foreign policy is the protection of core national interests; that is the sole focus of this strategy. One of the more interesting (but not surprising) pieces of this NSS is the overt and robust return to the Monroe Doctrine, an early 19th-century policy intended to restrict further European colonization of the Western Hemisphere and to ensure American dominance in that region. The modern take on this doctrine by the Trump administration uses American power by employing both internal and external security measures. The NSS states: American policy should focus on enlisting regional champions that can help create tolerable stability in the region, even beyond those partners' borders. These nations would help us stop illegal and destabilizing migration, neutralize cartels, nearshore manufacturing, and develop local private economies, among other things. We will reward and encourage the region's governments, political parties, and movements broadly aligned with our principles and strategy. But we must not overlook governments with different outlooks with whom we nonetheless share interests and who want to work with us. Source: redstate.com The Monroe Doctrine is a foundational principle of United States foreign policy, first articulated by President James Monroe in his annual message to Congress on December 2, 1823.   It declared that the Western Hemisphere was no longer open to European colonization or interference, while affirming that the U.S. would not meddle in existing European colonies or internal affairs.   Essentially, it warned European powers—particularly those in the Holy Alliance (Russia, Austria, and Prussia)—against attempting to extend their influence or establish new colonies in the Americas, positioning the U.S. as a protector of independent nations in the region The doctrine emerged amid concerns over European monarchies potentially aiding Spain in reconquering its former Latin American colonies, which had recently gained independence. It was largely drafted by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and reflected growing American confidence following the War of 1812.  At the time, the U.S. lacked the military power to enforce it fully, so it relied on British naval support, as Britain also opposed European rivals in the Americas for trade reasons.Key excerpts from Monroe’s address include: The American continents “are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers.” Any attempt by Europe to extend its political system to the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as “dangerous to our peace and safety.”   Significance and EvolutionInitially more symbolic than enforceable, the Monroe Doctrine evolved into a justification for U.S. intervention in Latin America during the 19th and 20th centuries. For instance: In the mid-1800s, it intertwined with Manifest Destiny to support U.S. territorial expansion, such as during the Mexican-American War.  President Theodore Roosevelt’s 1904 “Corollary” expanded it to allow U.S. intervention in Latin American countries to prevent European involvement, leading to actions like the occupation of Cuba and the Dominican Republic. It influenced Cold War policies, framing U.S. opposition to communism in the hemisphere as a defense against external threats. Critics, especially in Latin America, have viewed it as a tool for U.S. imperialism, enabling dominance over sovereign nations. Though less invoked today, it remains a symbol of U.S. hemispheric influence and anti-colonial rhetoric. facebook.com https://twitter.com/onechancefreedm/status/1996970776373735933?s=20 https://twitter.com/JoeLang51440671/status/1996992569746567173?s=20   other hand, I can see how we help real allies with aid when needed, as long as we get something of economic value in return.

Republican leadership planned Thursday to kick-off the procedural process to confirm 88 of President Donald Trump's nominees in a bloc vote, but were initially thwarted by Democratic Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, who challenged the package for violating Senate rules. When Republicans refiled the package later on Thursday, the conference included an additional nine nominees, bringing the total to nearly 100.  The Senate has confirmed 314 civilian nominees as of Thursday evening, according to a tally by the Senate Republican Communications Center. The 97-member bloc would bring the Senate to more than 410 civilian confirmations in the first year of Trump's second term. “That far outstrips total confirmations by this point in President Biden's term, and in President Trump's first term as well,” Thune said Thursday. Thune also said that Senate Republicans have virtually cleared the nominations backlog. Before Republicans changed Senate precedent to allow for certain nominees to be confirmed in groups, more than 150 of the president's picks were awaiting floor consideration. The Senate approved a 48-member nominations package in September and an additional 108 of the president's picks in a single group vote in October.

This morning we're taking a hard, honest look at the state of the country. The economy is wobbling, unemployment is skyrocketing, families can barely afford groceries, and yet the Trump administration continues to insist we're living in the “strongest economy ever.” The disconnect couldn't be more insulting. Meanwhile, the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal is still growing, with new details raising even more serious questions about legality, leadership, and accountability. And to make matters worse, the Supreme Court has now allowed Texas to move forward with its new redistricting map, a decision that could hand Republicans up to five additional seats, reshaping power in Washington for years to come. So the question becomes: What do we do? How do we fight back? And how do we hold onto hope in times this bleak? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Tonight we're breaking down the latest developments in the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal, a story that just keeps getting darker. Was it a war crime? Many experts say yes. Others are calling it outright murder. But the biggest question remains: Will anyone in this administration ever face accountability? The answers so far aren't reassuring. We'll walk through the newest reporting, the shifting White House explanations, and the mounting pressure on Pete Hegseth as this scandal continues to grow.

Tonight we're diving back into the Epstein scandal because it is far from over. Today, House Democrats released never-before-seen photos and videos from Epstein's island in the U.S. Virgin Islands… and “creepy” doesn't even begin to describe them. The material raises even more questions about who visited, what happened there, and how much has been kept from the public. So how much more is still out there? Will the full Epstein files ever actually be released? Join us live as we break down the political fallout and what this latest release means for transparency and for the powerful people who still don't want these files to see the light of day.

This morning we're diving back into the rapidly escalating Venezuela boat strike scandal and the White House's increasingly desperate attempts to shield Pete Hegseth from the fallout. Despite the spin, despite the conflicting stories, the core question remains the same: Did Hegseth's actions constitute war crimes or even murder? Legal experts say yes. The administration of course says “nothing to see here.” We'll break down the latest reporting, the shifting defenses, and whether anyone in this MAGA-led White House will ever face accountability or if the machine is just veering even further into outright lawlessness.

Tonight we're diving into all the major stories of the day, and the chaos is piling up fast. First, did Pete Hegseth order the second Venezuelan boat strike? The White House can't seem to get its story straight, and the conflicting explanations are only raising more questions. If these reports are true, we're looking at actions that many experts say could constitute war crimes, and the pressure for accountability is growing. Then we turn to Alina Habba. A federal appeals court has ruled that she had been serving unlawfully as the U.S. attorney in New Jersey, a stunning blow to the Trump administration. Don is traveling tonight, so we're joined by guest host Charles Coleman, MSNBC legal analyst, former prosecutor, and civil rights attorney, to help us break it all down.

This morning we begin with the heartbreaking news that one of the National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C. has now passed away after the horrific attack near the White House. But even in a moment like this, Donald Trump is doing what he always does, using a national tragedy to push his own agenda and turn the focus back onto himself. Instead of leading with empathy or unity, he's choosing self-interest and political opportunism. Don breaks down the details of this terrible incident, the reaction from officials, and Trump's response, which once again reveals exactly where his priorities lie.

Tonight, Don is joined by friend of the show George Hahn for some much needed post-Thanksgiving laughs. MAGA has been in full meltdown mode lately, stumbling from crisis to crisis, and the cracks in Donald Trump's once unshakable grip are getting harder to ignore. Has Trump's spell finally broken? Is the end of MAGA actually near? Or is this just the beginning of a much louder, much messier unraveling?

It's Thanksgiving Eve, a time meant for joy, family, and connection, yet far too many people are trying to replace that spirit with fear. From Donald Trump's continued attacks on Democratic lawmakers who simply reminded military members of their legal obligations, to the inhumane and heartbreaking ICE detentions unfolding across the country, the moment feels incredibly heavy. This morning, Don is joined by Senator Ruben Gallego to break down what's happening, why these crises matter, and how we can hold onto truth and humanity in a time when cruelty is becoming policy.

Tonight we're digging into some fresh reporting that could signal more cracks inside MAGA world. Donald Trump may be considering removing Kash Patel as FBI Director. The White House is denying it, but… we've seen this movie before. Could this be the start of yet another MAGA ouster? And what does it say about the growing instability around Trump? Then, after the political chaos, Don switches gears for something lighter: a fun Thanksgiving conversation with friends of the show Reecie Colbert, Symone Redwine, and Wajahat Ali.

Security Council adopted earlier this week to endorse and help implement President Trump's peace plan for Gaza, including how it conforms and departs from usual international practice, what it says about the political positions of the various parties involved in the peace plan, and how it may (or may not) help contribute to an enduring end to the broader conflict—as well as a possible path to Palestinian self-determination.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Trump's new work requirements for welfare recipients, job losses from the AI revolution, major trade developments with China, new drone defenses for the Pacific, and the growing risks of a satellite disaster in orbit. Work for Welfare Begins: Starting tomorrow, able-bodied adults ages 18 to 65 without dependents must work at least 80 hours a month to receive food aid under Trump's "Triple B Bill." Exemptions include parents of young children and residents in areas with high unemployment. Bryan warns that states managing these programs may soon raise local taxes to offset new administrative costs. AI Cuts Human Jobs: Amazon and other major tech firms are laying off software engineers as AI begins writing code and automating support work. Bryan calls it "a quiet industrial revolution that's going to reshape America's middle class for decades." Trump and Xi Trade Gains and Tensions: China agreed to buy 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans this season, with promises to expand purchases later if relations hold steady. But Xi refused to curb Russian oil imports, signaling Beijing's intent to prolong the war in Ukraine. New U.S. Drone System — The X-BAT: A cutting-edge drone platform called the X-BAT can launch vertically, operate without runways, and land itself like a reusable rocket. Bryan calls it "a game-changer for a future war in the Pacific." A Coming Satellite Crisis: With 100,000 satellites expected in orbit by 2030, experts warn of potential collisions and cascading debris — the "Kessler Syndrome." Bryan explains how one accident could take down global communications and cripple modern life. Venezuela Airstrikes Under Review: Trump is considering airstrikes against Venezuelan drug ports and airfields tied to the Cartel de los Soles. Analysts believe the move could topple Nicolás Maduro and restore democracy under opposition leader María Corina Machado. Europe's Migration Backlash: Germany and Sweden face outrage over migrant crime after courts refused to deport rapists from Eritrea. Bryan highlights how "suicidal empathy" — compassion that undermines security — is destabilizing Western nations. Ukraine's Strain and Russia's Weakness: Russia cut interest rates to ease its stagnant economy while Ukraine faces mass draft dodging as 100,000 young men flee to Europe. Trump responded by reducing U.S. troop levels in Romania to refocus on the Pacific and Latin America. Crisis in Mali: Al Qaeda rebels have surrounded Mali's capital as the U.S. orders citizens to evacuate. Bryan warns that Ukraine's secret aid to jihadist groups could backfire and lead to a new Taliban-style regime in West Africa. Listener Mail — The Morality of Espionage: Bryan answers questions about ethics inside the CIA, sharing personal reflections on moral judgment, mentorship, and the gray zones of intelligence work.
