Die for Capital!The overview of this two part series is structured thusly: We will start off with the oil Sector. Why it matters in terms on the control of global markets, pricing and as such how that attempt to weaken adversaries such as Russia, Iran and China. But also it is necessary for the American ruling class as it wants cheap access to oil, in order to keep productions costs low etc.Then we will talk about Venezuela in terms of its proximity to the Panama Canal which generates a lot of paranoia in the USA with regard to the BRI potential, China's access to key trade locations that threaten US influence in the region but also the global economy. Then the military angle, which is linked to the Cuban missile crises paranoia, as Venezuela and Russia have also signed a strategic anti-hegemon partnership which was ratified by Russia last month. What does it mean? Then we will move onto rare earth, which is very important and multi-layered. Rare-earths are becoming one of the most valuable resources due to high-tech, and the race for AI. How the US is completely de industrialized and How that links to Sudan as well as even the past war on Yemen and Congo. We will discuss this new engagement with Nigeria. And finally in conclusion, why civil war and chaos favors capital, and why so little is done to end the ethnic cleansing in Sudan or Forstall a war with Venezuela or come up with a workable peace plan (for it could never be a liberation plan) in Gaza.
There's only one thing on John Obi Mikel's mind in this episode of Taking the Mikel: Nigeria's failure to reach the World Cup Finals. Again. The former Super Eagles captain calls for every member of the NFF to stand down in the wake of their defeat to DR Congo, opens the door to joining a new-look board IF certain criteria is met and asks the question: why hasn't any African nation used ‘voodoo practices' to actually win the World Cup? Eric Chelle's long-term future as coach also comes under the microscope while Obi Mikel makes no secret of the fact over who he'll be supporting next summer now. A must-listen for all Nigerian football fans struggling to come to terms with their side's World Cup demise and eager to see a regime chance at the top of the Nigerian Football Federation.

Send us a textReady to name the fear behind a big career leap? We start with the uncomfortable truth: stepping into leadership is hard when you've rarely seen anyone who looks like you survive and thrive there. That honesty opens a wide-angle look at credibility, negotiation, and why “director” should be a strategic choice, not a trap. You'll hear practical pay tactics, a clear-eyed read on gender politics, and a call to claim the audacity usually reserved for the loudest voices in the room while anchoring everything in real delivery.We pivot into brand strategy with a surgical breakdown of Fenty Beauty, LVMH, and the “core asset test.” What happens when a revolutionary launch becomes industry standard and the parent company cares most about Sephora and Dior? The answer matters to every founder: positioning must live beyond a single hook, and product lines should pass the test of whether they strengthen your core. Still, Rihanna's two-billion-dollar empire stands as a masterclass in ownership, reminding us that downside cycles don't erase value when you build for longevity.Authenticity in entrepreneurship gets a frank treatment access, capital, and networks change the starting line. We separate story from spin so creators can plan with clarity. Then we look outward: a UN spotlight on persecution in Nigeria, the Sahel's power realignment, and why humanitarian language can mask resource strategy. Closer to home, we press on London's EV congestion charge and how shifting justifications erode policy trust. Finally, we talk about the UK's curriculum overhaul AI literacy, oracy, and media scepticism to prepare young people for a world where synthesis beats rote learning. And yes, we celebrate the launch of Sister Scribble, a premium stationery brand designed to bring back tactile creativity and intention.If this conversation pushes you to ask better questions about your next move career, company, or community hit follow, share with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Sienna (16) immediately wants to know where her surprise is.Ashley heads to Baltimore to visit Monique, who's officially back in Potomac Nation.

Monique wants to avoid drama but agrees to join Ashley's Pride float—Gizelle included.Over at Wendy's house, she and Eddie are renovating everything. Wendy gets emotional explaining that her father, still in Nigeria, didn't acknowledge her birthday—yet happily blasted a birthday message for someone else days later.

Despite the chatter, she says she's not copying Happy Eddie's brand.

Ingrid gently reminds her Gizelle has filtered many a photo too.Tia checks in with her twins—especially Lexi, whose birthday party got so wild the police were called because someone was leaking the address. But Lexi had it under control.Gizelle is dealing with her own family stress: her late father's will was reportedly changed in the hospital when he was incapable of doing so.Greg shows off his new house as the group gears up for Pride.

She tells Monique she's surprised she doesn't know Stacey, because Stacey supposedly said she's seen Monique around.Monique says she doesn't go out much, so that's unlikely. But Gizelle chimes in: “Oh no, she knows Chris—your ex-husband.” And Kiana follows up with the grenade:“Stacey was dating your ex-husband Chris.”CUT TO: To be continued…Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Yet again, Jeffrey Epstein is in the news, as President Trump changed his mind and called for the release of all the files. Will Congress vote to finally release everything so we can put this story behind us? Glenn predicts that no one of high seniority in the government will be exposed if the Epstein files are released. Glenn speaks on rapper Nicki Minaj traveling to the United Nations to speak out against the slaughtering of Christians in Nigeria. CNN senior political contributor Scott Jennings joins to discuss his latest book, "A Revolution of Common Sense," which breaks down President Trump's return to Washington. The time of the progressive era is over, Glenn warns, and the time of the socialist era is arriving. Democrats used to love tariffs until Trump began implementing them. What happened? Glenn discusses his interview with the Cracker Barrel CEO over the botched rebrand attempt that nearly took the company down.

Nigeria won't be at the World Cup
In this homily on November 16th, 2025, Fr Mathias preaches on Jesus' warning to his disciples about persecution they will endure.

Father exhorts us to persevere in our faith no matter how people around us treat us so that we can secure our lives in heaven.

Le Nigeria est de nouveau dans le viseur de l'administration Trump. Le président américain a récemment menacé le pays d'une intervention militaire pour protéger les chrétiens du Nigeria, qui seraient victimes, selon lui, de violences ciblées sous l'œil indifférent des autorités. Le Nigeria a été réintégré à la liste américaine des « pays particulièrement préoccupants en matière de liberté religieuse », dont il était sorti en 2021. Avant cela, Washington avait déjà annoncé un durcissement considérable des conditions d'obtention de visas « non immigrants » pour les citoyens nigérians désireux de se rendre aux États-Unis. Fin octobre, l'écrivain Wole Soyinka a également révélé que son visa américain avait été annulé. RFI a rencontré, à Paris, le premier prix Nobel africain de littérature, en 1986, qui a toujours été une voix critique de la politique de Donald Trump. RFI : Pensez-vous retourner un jour aux États-Unis ? Wole Soyinka : J'en doute vraiment. C'est peu probable Récemment, vous avez annoncé que votre visa américain avait été révoqué. Pour quelles raisons exactement ? C'est un problème ancien qui remonte déjà à la première élection de Donald Trump. J'enseignais aux États-Unis et j'ai vu l'émergence de cette rhétorique politique à la fois raciste, exclusioniste, mais aussi égocentrique. Et en général extrêmement méprisant vis-à-vis des immigrés et même des étrangers. Rappelez-vous, quand il est arrivé au pouvoir, il a désigné un certain nombre de pays comme « des pays de merde », pardonnez l'expression. Je l'ai compris dès la campagne et j'ai promis que si cet homme arrivait au pouvoir, je déchirerais ma carte verte. C'est exactement ce que j'ai fait. Pourtant, après cela, vous avez quand même obtenu un autre visa pour les États-Unis ? Oui, parce que, peu après avoir déchiré ma carte verte, j'ai reçu un courrier de l'administration fiscale américaine, pour m'annoncer que j'allais avoir un contrôle fiscal. Donc, je suis allé à l'ambassade au Nigeria, je leur ai expliqué que j'avais détruit mon permis de résidence aux États-Unis, mais que je ne voulais pas être considéré comme un fraudeur ou un fugitif. J'ai demandé un nouveau visa pour répondre à cette missive. C'est ce visa qui vient d'être annulé ? Oui, c'est correct. Cette fois, je n'ai même pas pris la parole. J'ai été directement ciblé, comme d'autres gens. J'ai reçu une lettre générique du consulat, une lettre qu'ils ont aussi adressée à d'autres Nigérians – et j'en suis sûr, aux citoyens d'autres pays – pour me demander de me présenter à un entretien. Parce que, je cite, « il y a eu des changements depuis l'émission de votre visa ». Ils me demandaient de me présenter au consulat, avec mon passeport. Je suis trop occupé pour cela et je savais très bien qu'ils avaient déjà pris leur décision, donc je n'y suis pas allé. Depuis que Donald Trump est revenu au pouvoir aux États-Unis, les immigrés sont ramassés dans la rue, au restaurant, et même dans les écoles. Je n'ai pas vraiment envie d'être associé à ce que cette société est devenue sous Donald Trump. Plus récemment, Donald Trump a fait de nouvelles déclarations concernant le Nigeria. Selon lui, les Chrétiens seraient les victimes d'une violence ciblée dans le pays. Qu'en pensez-vous ? D'abord, c'est arrogant, mais c'est aussi profondément irresponsable. Je ne connais aucun pays à travers le monde qui ne connait pas de frictions. Bien sûr, il n'est pas question de nier l'existence d'extrémistes religieux au Nigeria et plus spécifiquement d'islamistes intégristes. Je le dis ouvertement. D'ailleurs, j'ai même écrit une pièce sur le meurtre d'une jeune étudiante, accusée de blasphème, qui a été lynchée et déshumanisée. On sait qu'il y a un problème. Mais c'est un acte extrêmement hostile lorsqu'une personne venue de l'extérieur exacerbe et exagère ce problème. Il y a des tensions, il y a des violences, notamment entre les fermiers et les éleveurs. Des centaines de personnes ont été tuées dans ce conflit. Parfois, la religion est en cause, mais souvent, c'est plutôt une question économique. Bien sûr, les enlèvements d'enfants contre rançon sont des actes criminels. Mais choisir un aspect du problème, et affirmer que c'est la religion qui est au centre de toutes ces violences, ce n'est pas seulement mauvais, c'est aussi criminel. Rappelez-vous les mots qu'il a utilisés pour menacer le Nigeria d'une intervention militaire. Il a dit que les américains attaqueraient « armes à la main » et que ce serait « rapide, vicieux et doux ». Est-ce vraiment le genre de déclarations que l'on attend d'un leader ? Un chef d'État n'a pas le droit d'être simpliste. Et surtout n'a absolument pas le droit de creuser encore les divisions qui existent déjà. Il n'y a pas de société sans tensions, même aux États-Unis. Pour finir, au mois d'octobre, le théâtre national de Lagos a rouvert ses portes sous le nom de Centre Wole Soyinka pour la culture et les arts créatifs. Appréciez-vous cette attention pour votre 90e anniversaire ? Oui, c'est évidemment un honneur. Mais celui-ci devait-il m'être attribué ? C'est une autre question. Notamment lorsque vous avez passé, comme moi, toute votre vie à traverser toutes sortes de dictatures, où les dirigeants donnent leur nom à tout et n'importe quoi, y compris à des toilettes publiques. Je suis indifférent à ce genre de chose. J'ai vécu ma vie, j'ai fait mon travail, je suis satisfait. À lire aussiDonald Trump en croisade pour protéger les chrétiens africains?
Nigeria's World Cup dream is over. After a 1–1 draw in regulation time, the Super Eagles fell 4–3 to DR Congo on penalties, confirming a second consecutive World Cup miss. In this episode, Olu breaks down everything that went wrong, from the performance on the night to the deeper structural issues that have held Nigeria back throughout this qualifying campaign.From the NFF's longstanding failures to player performances, tactical flaws, and the slow start that left Nigeria needing miracles, Olu explains what must change for the Super Eagles to rebuild and avoid repeating this devastating outcome.

In today's homily, Fr. Chris invites us to confront a reality many avoid: the Church teaches that we are living in the “end times”—not because the world is ending tomorrow, but because public revelation closed with the death of the last Apostle. As the liturgical year ends, the Gospel readings turn our attention to eschatology: the destruction of the Temple, the trials that precede the end, and the Second Coming of Christ. Jesus warns that earthly securities crumble, but the true Temple—His Eucharistic Presence and the soul living in grace—endures forever (cf. 1 Cor 3:16).Scripture is clear: “All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Tim 3:12). Fr. Chris explains how persecution purifies both the innocent and the guilty in the Church, reminding us that the Church is both divine and human—perfect in her doctrine, yet wounded in her members. Even so, Jesus promises that faithfulness leads to eternal life, even when earthly suffering seems overwhelming.Drawing on the witness of modern martyrs, especially Christians in Nigeria, Fr. Chris shows that God grants particular graces to those who suffer for the Gospel. Their serenity in the face of death mirrors the peace of the early martyrs, reminding us that Christian hope is not shaken by earthly violence. As Jesus told St. Faustina, He offers the world this “time of mercy” before the time of justice (Diary, 1160). Now is the moment to return to Him with trust.Whether through persecution, family tensions, daily misunderstandings, or the crosses we quietly bear, Christians are invited to unite their sufferings to the Cross, fulfilling St. Paul's words: “I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of His body” (Col 1:24). Remaining faithful in a world of confusion is not fearmongering—it is the path to peace, hope, and eternal life. We belong to a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.#marian #marians #marianfathers #marianhelpers #divinemercy #thedivinemercy #catholic #catholicism #romancatholic #romancatholicism #frchrisalar #catholictiktok #endtimes #eschatology #catholichomily #persecution #martyrs #hope #trust #divinemercydevotion #jesusitrustinyou ★ Support this podcast ★
Valve recently announced three new products to add to their family of Steam hardware. The reception has been mostly good, but with a release date of ‘early 2026' and no price tag yet, will this slate of new devices live up to all the hype it's been getting?Tesla and CarPlay have been like oil and water since forever. Now that rumors are circling that the car company has been internally testing a way to incorporate Apple's smartphone integration system in their cars, what does this say about Tesla and also CarPlay? Especially now that GM is looking to veer away from it. The BBC have been caught in Donald Trump's crosshairs after they aired a documentary seemingly manipulating his speech and taking it out of context. The British Broadcaster has since apologized but it looks like a lawsuit or some settlement is looming. Nigeria continue their quest to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Gabon are the most recent challengers on their path and they seem to have been brushed off easily. But at what cost? If they are to make it to the promised land, they will need to take destiny into their own hands.Steam Hardware - SteamTesla Is Working to Add Apple CarPlay in Bid to Boost Vehicle Sales - BloombergTrump says he will sue the BBC despite broadcaster's apology - CNNVictor Osimhen double keeps Nigeria alive in WC playoff - ESPNConnect with us:@backyardconversations @iGbenga @TemiDavis @dpencilpusher
Luke 21:5-19As some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, Jesus said, “As for these things that you see, the day will come when not one stone will be left upon another, all will be thrown down.”They asked him, “Teacher, when will this be? And what will be the sign that this is about to take place?” He said, “Beware that you are not led astray. Many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he,' and the ‘The time is near.' Do not go after them.“When you hear about wars in insurrections, not be terrified, for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately.” And he said, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places, famines and plagues. There will be dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.“But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you. You will be handed over to synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors because of my name. This will give you the opportunity to testify. So make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance, for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. You will be betrayed by parents and brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name. But not a hair on your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your souls.” When we decided, years ago, to make financial commitments to the Building and Outreach Fund in November, I neglected to check the lectionary to see that – at least every three years – we'd get this passage about the temple being destroyed on or very near to our commitment Sunday. But I wouldn't change it – or do otherwise – because I think it's at least funny, if not faithful and worthwhile, to consider what we've built here, and what we hope to build, in light of Jesus' reminder about how impermanent all of it is in the grand scheme of God's big picture. And I want to wonder about that together in a minute.This is one of those Bible passages that gives “fire and brimstone” preaching its identity and inspiration. “Nation against nation.” “Kingdom against kingdom.” “Arrest, persecution, betrayal.” “Earthquakes, famines, plagues.” “Hatred, death, dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.” It's about everything you could ever want or need if you're looking to scare someone into loving Jesus. Especially if you watch the news or pay any attention to what's going on in the world around us.Ukraine and Russia, Israel and Hamas remind us about what it looks like when Kingdoms rise up against Kingdoms. Civil wars in Sudan and Myanmar – and political divisions in our own country – show us what it looks like when nations rise up against nations. Have you heard about the Christians being persecuted in Nigeria? Don't let the Christian Nationalist political rhetoric in our own country fool you. Experts say it's no better for the Muslims there. And God hates all of it, I'm sure. But it sounds, nonetheless, a lot like Jesus' prediction that his followers would be handed over, hated, and even killed.And of course, the storms, the flooding, and the fires that are the result of – or made worse by climate change – seem like they could be “dreadful portents and great signs from heaven,” to some.All of it is enough to tempt a Pastor to get out of the business, and I know some who have … maybe it's enough to make a parishioner question the wisdom of contributing to any of this, let alone the latest building project … maybe it's enough to make a congregation slow their roll, stop their growing, batten down the hatches, and tighten their collective belt. If I were a gambling man, I'd wonder if we should be checking our odds, placing our bets, and readying ourselves for whatever doom and damnation must certainly be coming our way.But I'm not a gambling man, so much as I am a baptized child of God. So, what I hear Jesus saying in this morning's Gospel isn't what so many of those doomsday preachers have been preaching to too many generations of hungry, hurting, hopeless souls. Jesus doesn't suggest we lock the doors, batten down the hatches, hold our breath, and brace ourselves for and from the evils that surround us. Jesus doesn't suggest we open our Bibles and prepare our defense or state our case against whatever evil or temptation or struggle may threaten our status in the eyes of our creator. He says just the opposite.What I hear, is Jesus acknowledging that life in this world is hard. It can be scary. It hurts a lot of the time. And I hear him saying that even when it may seem like it's as bad as it ever could be, the end “will not follow immediately.” I hear him suggesting that we not watch the clock or make predictions or get scared by people who do; or that we wring our hands with worry about all of it, either.I hear Jesus inviting us, above all, to trust him – and to trust the God who sent him for the sake of the world's redemption. “I will give you words and a wisdom,” is what he says, and that's a relief to me. “Stop worrying about what to say or how to think or just what to do when the going gets tough.” The going will get tough for us, in as many different ways as there are people in this room – and then some.But Jesus invites us to know we don't have to have answers for it all and that the power of God's grace will carry us through, in spite of ourselves and in the face of whatever struggle surrounds us. And this is all part of what we celebrate as people of grace and of good news and of the gospel we proclaim – all of which we're promised as God's people. I had a text conversation this week about yet another article concerning the demise of the Church in our country and culture – particularly where the closing of mainline congregations like Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians and the like, are concerned. And what's so sad and troubling about that – and what even the nay-sayers acknowledge – is what leaves a community when a faithful church closes its doors: food ministries, disaster response resources, affordable childcare options, hubs for community connection, and other social services and ministries, too.And don't forget the simple, holy, necessary, sacred, consistent proclamation to desperate, hurting, hungry people about a gracious God who loves them – all of which is made real in the waters of baptism and in the bread and wine of holy communion, which we do as deliberately and more openly and with a wider welcome than anyone around here.And it's all more than an insurance policy against the challenges of life in this world. The promises we offer week after week – don't pretend to insulate us from the pain and sadness that threaten our lives. No, the blessing of God's grace, which comes to us here, is a promise that God's love and mercy and forgiveness – and most of all, that God's eternal life – hold more power and authority than any bad news we might encounter on this side of eternity; and that it is a promise for all people.Which is to say, I hope we gather here – and share this ministry – and practice this faith – and grow this community – because nations rise against nations, still; because there are wars and insurrections, still; because there are great earthquakes and famines and deadly portents and diseases, still.I hope we give our money, our time, our resources; I hope we give our selves to this ministry we share because so many in the world think we shouldn't and because I'm convinced Jesus thinks we should share the unique, bold, faithful, generous kind of grace that is uniquely ours to offer in this neck of the woods.So let's do more than just breeze by the waters of baptism on our way to the table for communion this morning. Let's touch, feel, and be filled by what we call “the means of grace,” here. And let's be reminded of – or invited to – our own experience with water, Word, and with the promise that belongs to us all because of it.Because I'm convinced – and filled with hope – that when we do that, we won't be able to do anything BUT respond in ways that grow this community – by building buildings, by welcoming strangers, by doing justice, by loving kindness, by walking humbly, by sharing grace in the abundant, generous ways it has already been shared with each of us, in Jesus' name.Amen
The horrific slaughter of Christians in Nigeria has caught the attention of President Donald Trump and the United States government. Trump has tapped Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.V., to provide a report about the situation unfolding in Nigeria, where estimates place the number of slaughtered Christians well over 50,000 since 2009, with more than 7,000 of these deaths having occurred in 2025 alone. In Congress, Moore was one of the first voices drawing attention to the intensifying atrocities committed against Christians in Nigeria, and he joins “The Signal Sitdown” this week to discuss. “Nigeria is the most dangerous countries on the face of the planet to be a Christian,” Moore told The Daily Signal. “This has been happening for a very long time, and it's getting worse and worse and worse every year.” Keep Up With The Daily Signal Sign up for our email newsletters: https://www.dailysignal.com/email Subscribe to our other shows: The Tony Kinnett Cast: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2284199939 The Signal Sitdown: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2026390376 Problematic Women: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL7765680741 Victor Davis Hanson: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL9809784327 Follow The Daily Signal: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=DailySignal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/ Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform and never miss an episode.

Cliff May discusses severe Christian persecution in Nigeria, which President Tinubu claims guarantees religious liberty. Attacks are carried out by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and powerful Fulani militias. May suggests jihadism acts as theological justification for Fulani nomadic herders to seize land from Christian farmers. The US could provide assistance, training, and advice to the Nigerian military to protect communities. Guest: Cliff May.
SHOW 11-13-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT BUNDESTAG COHESION AND STABILITY. FIRST HOUR 9-915 1/2 Anatol Lieven discusses the war in Ukraine, noting the new Russian unit RubiKon hunting drone operators and the slow Russian advance on Pakovsk, aided by both innovation and old factors like fog. The conversation also covers Germany's military rearmament plans and the significant, rising influence of the populist right AFD party in German politics, which is strongly anti-immigrant and largely anti-rearmament. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 1/2 915-930 2/2 Anatol Lieven details UK Prime Minister Starmer's genuine political troubles concerning domestic policy drift and significant potential losses in upcoming regional elections. Starmer maintains prestige supporting Ukraine, though funding remains a question. A back channel to Moscow has been opened by Jonathan Powell to discuss peace, dropping the prior insistence on a ceasefire, indicating a shift in London. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 2/2 930-945 Chris Riegel, CEO of SCALA.com, states that Chinese claims of matching Nvidia's high-end chip success are largely propaganda, though China mandates domestic chip use. The US holds the AI "pole position." AI is a genuine profit driver, worth trillions to GDP, with material workforce impact expected by 2026. Guest: Chris Riegel 945-1000 Mary Anastasia O'grady reports on the assassination of Mayor Carlos Monzo in Michoacán, killed after leaving President Sheinbaum's Morena party and aggressively confronting cartels and their agricultural extortion. Sheinbaum has cooperated smartly with the US, allowing surveillance flights, and hired credible security chief García Haruch. The main challenge is whether Sheinbaum has the political will to confront the cartels, especially given the widespread belief in Morena's complicity. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Cliff May discusses severe Christian persecution in Nigeria, which President Tinubu claims guarantees religious liberty. Attacks are carried out by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and powerful Fulani militias. May suggests jihadism acts as theological justification for Fulani nomadic herders to seize land from Christian farmers. The US could provide assistance, training, and advice to the Nigerian military to protect communities. Guest: Cliff May. 1015-1030 Sadanand Dhume examines the shift in US foreign policy, where President Trump now favors Pakistan and its military chief, General Munir. This followed intense combat between India and Pakistan after a horrific terrorist attack. When the US mediated a ceasefire, Trump took credit, which embarrassed Indian Prime Minister Modi. Pakistan cleverly thanked Trump and nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize, securing his favor over India. India now needs a trade deal. Guest: Sadanand Dhume. 1030-1045 Professor Matthew Graham discusses the most powerful black hole flare ever recorded, which shone like 10 trillion suns from an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). Material falling into the supermassive black hole forms an accretion disc, releasing intense radiation. This 10-billion-year-old event was detected using computer cameras. Graham explains that these black holes are ancient "seeds" of galaxies, acting as cosmic vacuum cleaners, such as when a large star gets shredded. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham. 1/2 1045-1100 Professor Matthew Graham details his needs for future black hole research, prioritizing a network of space telescopes with large fields of view, like the Roman space telescope, for perpetual, multi-wavelength monitoring of the sky. This "audit of the cosmos" will improve detection speed and timing. Graham encourages students to pursue black hole work, noting it is a vibrant growth area, viewing black holes as the enduring future product of the universe. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham.2/2 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Veronique de Rugy discusses the cost of living, critiquing the administration's claims that Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper, citing the use of shrinkflation and item removal. She criticizes the proposal to send $2,000 checks, noting this Keynesian approach boosts demand, which, without increased supply, risks raising prices further. De Rugy advocates for deregulation and the elimination of tariffs (which she confirms are a tax) as the necessary supply-side solution to the affordability crisis. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. 1115-1130 Conrad Black assesses Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's new budget as anti-climactic, failing to deliver promised growth or definitive decisions on controversial policies like pipelines. However, the budget was sensible and conciliatory, avoiding conflict with the opposition, Washington, and Alberta. Carney, adopting a diplomatic style akin to a central banker, did offer serious encouragements to alleviate the housing shortage. Guest: Conrad Black. 1130-1145 Scott Winship analyzes 50 years of US median earnings, preferring the MACPI to accurately adjust for cost of living. He finds that the middle class is better off: women's earnings are up 120%, and men's are up 40–50%. Winship disputes populist theories that income inequality or the China shock are the main villains, noting that the worst period for young men was 1973–1989, predating those factors. Guest: Scott Winship.1/2 1145-1200 Scott Winship investigates the mystery of the decline in young men's earnings between 1973 and 1989. He concludes this period was not caused by accelerated immigration or women entering the workforce, as men's earnings continued to rise. The actual explanation is the unique economic combination of stagflation—high unemployment and very high inflation—that occurred until the early 1980s recession. This severe economic dynamic has not been matched since 1989. Guest: Scott Winship. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 The arrival of the US carrier Gerald Ford signals an escalating commitment to possible military solutions against Maduro's regime in Venezuela. Maduro has ordered a Cuban-style guerrilla defense, but analysts worry more about "anarchization"—wreaking havoc—if he falls. Removing Maduro and lifting sanctions could lead to necessary refinancing of Venezuela's $170 billion debt. Guest: Evan Ellis. 1/4 1215-1230 Peru faces severe political instability, evidenced by six presidents in two years and detentions for corruption. Transitional leader José Heresi is tackling rising organized crime, including a 36% jump in homicides, through a state of emergency. Meanwhile, China maintains deep-seated influence, controlling key sectors like mining, oil, and the deep-water port of Chancay. Guest: Evan Ellis.2/4 1230-1245 Honduras is holding a high-stakes, single-round election where the outcome could determine if the country returns to alignment with Taiwan or shifts to China. Election observers noted improper pressure and concerns about meddling by the ruling Libre Party. Separately, Argentina's economy under Milei is strengthening, backed by a significant US currency swap and political support. Guest: Evan Ellis. 3/4 1245-100 AM COP 30 is largely "political theater" with commitments insufficient to address climate change. Estimates suggest the crucial 1.5-degree global temperature increase will be reached by 2030. While there is increased international attention, funding remains inadequate; Brazil secured only $5.5 billion toward its $125 billion forest preservation goal. The plight of Amazonian indigenous peoples continues unaddressed. Guest: Evan Ellis.4/4 |

America feels upside down—government shutdowns, silent persecution of Christians in Africa, and a culture that forgets the heroes who secured our freedom. In today's episode of The Kirk Cameron Show, we break down the end of the shutdown, the heartbreaking genocide of believers in Nigeria, and the deeper meaning behind Veterans Day. Then we react to viral clips that reveal just how far our culture has drifted—and how courage, compassion, faith, and gratitude can bring it back. If you're ready for perspective, hope, and truth in a confusing time, you're in the right place.
