In this special episode of The Autism Little Learners Podcast, I'm celebrating 10 years of Sesame Workshop's Autism Initiative and the creation of the beloved character, Julia! I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Kama Einhorn and Dr. Abigail Bucuvalas from Sesame Workshop to talk about the incredible impact of authentic representation, inclusion, and collaboration with the autism community. We dive into how Julia was created to truly reflect the experiences of autistic children and families, the thoughtful research that goes into every Sesame Workshop project, and the global reach of their work. You'll also hear about puppeteer Stacey Gordon—whose personal connection to autism brings such authenticity to Julia's voice—and some exciting new projects on the horizon that continue to celebrate acceptance, understanding, and belonging for all children. Key Takeaways: Sesame Workshop's Autism Initiative has been making an impact for a decade. Julia was created to reflect the experiences of autistic children and promote understanding. Collaboration with autistic individuals, families, and experts is central to Sesame Workshop's process. Representation in media helps normalize conversations about autism and inclusion. Puppeteer Stacey Gordon brings personal insight and authenticity to Julia's character. Every piece of content is research-based and tested before release. The team continually evolves to ensure portrayals of autism are authentic and neurodiversity-affirming. Julia's story continues to grow — showing her friendships, family life, and even her communication with an AAC device. Free, bilingual resources are available for families at SesameWorkshop.org/Autism. The Autism Initiative has had a global impact, expanding to shows like Sisimpur in Bangladesh.

Donald Trump has suggested the US could deploy troops to Nigeria or carry out air strikes to stop what he called the killing of Christians by Islamist insurgents. Unfounded claims of a Christian genocide in Nigeria have been circulating in American right-wing religious circles for months. A Nigerian presidential adviser said jihadists in the Muslim-majority north of the country were attacking all religious communities, but that Abuja would welcome US help in tackling the Islamist insurgents.Also: the sole survivor of the Air India plane crash has told the BBC that he feels he is the luckiest man alive. Officials in Iran warn the main source of drinking water for residents of Tehran is at risk of running dry within two weeks. Flight delays continue across the US, as air traffic controllers working without pay due to the government shutdown are now calling in sick. The Maldives brings in the world's only generational smoking ban, and cricket fans across India celebrate the women's national side winning their first ever World Cup.

Today's Headlines: Sudan's civil war took a dark turn after the paramilitary RSF captured El Fasher, giving them full control of Darfur's major cities. The group is accused of killing hundreds and filming their own war crimes as hundreds of thousands flee. Meanwhile, Trump's threatening to send the U.S. military “guns-a-blazing” into Nigeria to “protect cherished Christians” from Boko Haram, declaring the country a “state of particular concern.” Nigerian officials politely said thanks but no thanks—they're still, you know, a sovereign nation. In Venezuela, the U.S. carried out yet another boat strike (the 15th since September), as reports suggest Trump's team is prepping direct hits on Venezuelan military targets linked to drug trafficking. In local matters, Trump's demanding Senate Republicans ditch the filibuster to end the government shutdown while partying at Mar-a-Lago as SNAP benefits expire. A judge ordered the USDA to pay SNAP recipients “as soon as possible,” but leaked emails show the agency told grocery stores not to offer discounts to hungry families. Very on-brand. In other news, the White House fired the entire Commission of Fine Arts to make way for friendlier faces on upcoming construction projects, the FBI may have overhyped a supposed Michigan “terror plot” that might've just been teenage gamers, and newly released records show JP Morgan flagged over $1 billion in suspicious Epstein-related transactions—names like Dershowitz, Wexner, and Leon Black—while both the bank and Trump's first administration looked the other way.

In what may be the finest hour to date of his two presidencies, Donald Trump has pledged to counter the dire threat to civilization inherent in history's greatest crime against humanity: the persecution of over 380 million Christians worldwide.  The overwhelming majority of the acts of heavy persecution to which those followers of Jesus are subjected occur at the hands of adherents to Islam's totalitarian sharia code. In two recent Truth Social posts, Mr. Trump focused on one of the most egregious and ongoing examples of a place where such barbarity is allowed to occur with impunity: Africa's Nigeria.   To his credit, President Trump has committed to hold accountable and punish the Nigerian government – which has long tolerated, and even aided and abetted, such persecution – including by U.S. military attacks on the perpetrators. Praise God! This is Frank Gaffney!

Send us a textNigeria bleeds — and the world is finally taking notice. Once hailed as Africa's giant, Nigeria has become a graveyard of broken promises and buried dreams. Over fifty thousand Christians have been murdered, entire villages wiped away, priests and worshippers slaughtered at the altar, and millions displaced while the powerful trade blame and excuses. The United States once again has placed Nigeria on its list of “Countries of Particular Concern.” President Donald Trump threatened sanctions, and military attack calling out the government's failure to stop the killings. In The Hague, the International Criminal Court opened investigations into war crimes and crimes against humanity. And in Rome, the Vatican spoke with moral clarity: no government can claim legitimacy while its people perish in ungoverned spaces. This episode  confronts Nigeria's crisis through faith and prophetic denouncement. It explores what the U.S. designation means, why the Vatican's voice carries the greatest moral authority, and how Nigeria's leaders — blinded by greed and corruption — are turning the nation into a valley of tears.“The Blood of Christians” is not just about religion; it is about a people's cry for justice, a nation's moral collapse, and the Church's call to prophetic courage. Listen, reflect, and join the movement to restore Nigeria's soul.

Nigerians have been reacting to US President Donald Trump's threat to send American troops to Nigeria to “wipe out” those alleged to be committing genocide against Christians.The threat has stirred outrage, with many Nigerians asking a lot of question.In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we will look at the questions and find answers.

This podcast, we're joined by Barnyard Attendant Em Waitt and Animal Ambassador Area Supervisor Savannah Luhn to chat all about our new Nigerian dwarf goats!

1. Criticism of Gavin Newsom The hosts mock California Governor Gavin Newsom for allegedly misrepresenting his upbringing as impoverished. They highlight his privileged background, connections to the Getty family, and early business ventures. Newsom is portrayed as part of a broader trend of wealthy leftists promoting socialism while living in luxury. 2. Democratic Party and Radicalism The episode argues that the Democratic Party has shifted radically left, embracing socialism and Marxism. Figures like Comrade Mamdani are cited as examples of extreme ideology within the party. The hosts lament the lack of moderate Democrats willing to challenge the radical wing, referencing Bill Maher as a rare voice of reason. 3. Bill Maher’s Commentary Maher is quoted warning Democrats about the dangers of aligning with far-left candidates like Mamdani. He calls for a “Sister Souljah moment,” referencing Bill Clinton’s strategic distancing from radical elements during his campaign. 4. Human Rights in Nigeria Senator Cruz discusses Christian persecution in Nigeria, citing over 50,000 murders since 2009. He criticizes the Nigerian government for corruption and complicity in violence. Proposes sanctions and leveraging U.S. aid to pressure Nigeria into protecting human rights. 5. Recognition of Somaliland The guest, born in Somalia, advocates for U.S. recognition of Somaliland as an independent nation. Somaliland is praised for its democratic governance, stability, and alignment with U.S. values. The argument is framed as a strategic move to counter instability in the Horn of Africa. 6. Bill Gates and Climate Change The hosts poke fun at Bill Gates for allegedly reversing his stance on climate change alarmism. Gates is quoted saying the “doomsday view” is wrong and that other global issues deserve more attention. The episode criticizes climate policies, solar energy failures, and the hypocrisy of elites using private jets. 7. Fracking and U.S. Emissions The hosts credit George Mitchell, a Texas oilman, with pioneering fracking and reducing U.S. carbon emissions. They argue that natural gas has helped the U.S. lead in emission reductions, while China remains the top polluter.

IMAGE CREDIT - STUDIO QHarriett Gilbert welcomes Nigerian author Oyinkan Braithwaite into the World Book Club studio to discuss her internationally bestselling debut, My Sister, the Serial Killer — a darkly comic thriller that has captivated readers around the globe.This is the story of two sisters, Korede, the responsible and overlooked older sibling, and Ayoola, the beautiful younger sister with a deadly secret. When Ayoola's boyfriends keep turning up dead, Korede finds herself in an impossible position — torn between loyalty to her sister and her own moral compass. Set against the backdrop of modern-day Lagos, this sharp, fast paced novel explores family, power, and the lengths we go to for those we love.Oyinkan Braithwaite answers your questions about why are some forms of violence treated as ordinary while others shock us? How far does beauty allow someone to escape consequences? And what exactly defines the bond — or the burden — of sisterhood?

Send us a textWelcome to VoiceAfrique's special edition on the suffering of Christians and the poor in Nigeria which we have titled “Engaging Bishop Kukah on the Blood of the Faithful in Nigeria and Tinubu's Corrupt and Insensitive Government.” This episode dares to ask difficult questions and tell difficult truths about the state of our nation and the suffering of God's people. It is not a defence of Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, nor is it an attack on him. Rather, it is a space of honest dialogue—a moral conversation among Christians who love their country and desire its healing.Nigeria today bleeds from open wounds of corruption, insecurity, and moral decay. The cry of the innocent and the tears of the persecuted Christians rise daily to heaven, while those entrusted with leadership wallow in luxury and indifference. This episode confronts these uncomfortable realities: the betrayal of the poor, the failure of governance under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the silence of many in the face of evil.But above all, it is a call to conscience, Gospel non-violence, and Christian resistance against this cycle of persecution and violence and suffering. Our salvation as a people will not come from Washington, London, or Paris. Nigeria's redemption lies in the courage, faith, and solidarity of Nigerians themselves and commitment to live together in an inclusive and just country where the common good is protected, promoted and available to everyone everywhere without regard to religion, ethnicity, or class. Here, we speak truth to power, with compassion, faith with courage, and hope with responsibility.

Joké Bakare on Nigerian Food, Michelin Stars and West African Hospitality Chef Joké Bakare joins Lecker for a live recording at the Festival of Encounters in Brixton - the same neighbourhood where she first emerged from the tube in 1999 to encounter the bright lights of Brixton. From selling 300-400 meat pies every Sunday outside her church to becoming the first Black female Michelin-starred chef in the UK, Joké's journey is one of persistence, community, and staying true to the food she grew up with. We talk about growing up in a multi-ethnic Nigerian household where food was a celebration of Yoruba and Igbo cultures, the specific ripeness of plantain that matters more than most people realise, and why she refuses to call her cooking "elevated." Many thanks to Van Gogh House for including Lecker in the 2025 Festival of Encounters programme! Special thanks to Anna Bromwich and Elysia Krishnadasan Torrens for all their work putting it together.

Mavo fans won't like this but someone has to say it. In this episode of The Artiste Hangout Podcast with Femi Makx, we unpack the viral lyric “Your body na meatpie” from Mavo's new track Body featuring CKay and what it reveals about the growing problem with how women are portrayed in today's music.This conversation is not about canceling Mavo. It is about accountability, awareness, and how words shape culture. Femi Makx breaks down why lyrics like this matter, what they teach young listeners, and why the Nigerian music industry needs to rethink what it glorifies.From TikTok trends to everyday street lingo, this episode challenges artistes and fans to reflect on how far creativity should go and where we draw the line between expression and objectification.

In Nigeria, public school teachers are said to be more qualified, yet private school students consistently outperform them in exams. While public teachers hold degrees and certifications, many private school teachers lack formal qualifications but deliver better results. In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we ask, is qualification enough, or are private schools doing something different?

Persecution of Christians in Nigeria: Cruz and Hirsi Ali highlight the mass murder of Christians by Boko Haram and other Islamist groups. They criticize the Nigerian government for its inaction and call for U.S. sanctions and accountability. 8. Recognition of Somaliland: Hirsi Ali supports recognizing Somaliland as an independent nation. She praises its democratic governance, stability, and alignment with Western values.

Welcome to the Superstar Communicator podcast with Susan Heaton-Wright! In this powerful episode, Susan returns to the mic after a busy period of running mastermind courses, speaking, and coaching—ready to inspire her audience once again. Today's conversation centers around Black History Month and features award-winning HR professional, speaker, and activist Ije McDougall Together, they dive deep into the meaning and importance of Black History Month, share personal experiences of representation and bias—especially within the UK's healthcare sector—and discuss both the challenges and opportunities facing allies. You'll hear honest stories, insightful perspectives, and practical takeaways on how to celebrate, enjoy, and engage meaningfully with Black History Month. This episode is all about amplifying voices, embracing humanity, and reminding us how representation and allyship can spark real change. Get ready for a conversation that's equal parts thought-provoking and uplifting!   About Ije McDougall: Ije McDougall's story begins in Nigeria, where growing up surrounded by fellow black Nigerians meant concepts like Black History Month were virtually nonexistent—there was no need for it in a society where blackness was the norm. It wasn't until McDougall moved to the UK as an adult that the existence of Black History Month sparked confusion and curiosity. "Why was it necessary?" was the question that lingered. After sixteen years of living in the UK, McDougall's perspective has evolved. Now, Black History Month is seen as a vital space—an opportunity for black voices to be amplified and heard without interruption. Through personal experience and reflection, McDougall's journey highlights the importance of celebrating black history in contexts where it's often marginalized, and how understanding grows with time and experience. You can contact Ije at IJETALKS.COM     Key points from the interview (bold) Ije McDougall 00:04:09 - 00:04:25 Why Black History Month Matters in the UK: "black history Month, from my perspective, is an opportunity for black people to speak uninterrupted is an opportunity for our voices to be amplified." Ije McDougall 00:04:33 - 00:04:59 The Continued Importance of Black History Month: "But the reason that we need Black History Month and for our voices to be amplified and for us to be able to speak uninterrupted is because at the moment that is not the case. It is because at the moment our lived experience and our history seems to be disregarded, belittled, or just completely erased." Ije McDougall 00:07:47 - 00:07:51 Viral Topic: Challenging the Default Status Quo Quote: "the narrative is still that the status quo, the default position, the norm is white male... but that does not necessarily mean that that is true or that is real" Ije McDougall 00:10:54 - 00:11:24 Premature Births and Parental Anxiety: "my first child, she was born at 27 weeks, so she was very, very premature. But the build up to that is things such as, you know, being told it's my first child. So I'm excited, as you can imagine, turning up to the scan with your bladder full because they tell you your bladder has to be full. So I turn up and I am bursting, but nowhere doing this scan. And I'm sitting there and we've ticked all the boxes because we want to know some measurements in regards to." Ije McDougall 00:17:20 - 00:17:58 Viral Topic: The Impact of Representation in Media: "every princess, there was no princess that looked like me. There was no good policeman that looked like me. There was no hero that looked like my brother. There was no good teacher, good policeman, wholesome family. They just never look like me. So that is the represent, the lack of representation that I grew up with. However, if we were represented, we were misrepresented as thugs, as criminals, as gang members, we were represented as the one that's not so clever, the comedian of the class, the one who is disposable." Ije McDougall 00:18:49 - 00:19:01 Viral Topic: Diversity in Media Representation "It's not that there has been a significant rise that is true in, you know, black and brown people on tv, but it is not to the detriment of anybody else." Ije McDougall 00:19:16 - 00:19:34 Representation in Advertising: "if we have a few months where there are no white people on tv, it still would not, it still would not tip it to the detriment of white people because everybody else grew up without representation or with misrepresentation." Ije McDougall 00:20:47 - 00:21:05 The Reality of Allyship Online: "I'm not seeing enough people stand up. I'm not seeing enough. You know, allyship is such a buzzword and it's such a useful term because it tells you who people are. But I'm not seeing as many as I wish I was seeing." Ije McDougall 00:22:25 - 00:22:43 Viral Topic: Authentic Allyship "You need to understand the issues as a human being. First of all, you do need to gain proximity. Try and get your head around it. And if you, from a human level, you see that, no, that's not fair because another human being shouldn't have to do this, then by all means, it's time to, you know, stand up in your standing up." Ije McDougall 00:23:31 - 00:23:41 Viral Topic: The Power of Authenticity Online: "She's not aggressive, she's not fighting anybody, she's not in any debates or arguments. But she just clearly states who she is, what she stands for. And people know."     Download the transcript of the interview  SuperStar Communicator Here at SuperStar Communicator HQ Susan and Nick love sharing great content.

This week on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I'm joined by Oghosa Iyamu, author of Forever Welcomed: A Study of God's Impartial Love for All.Oghosa's story is such a beautiful reminder that God sees us, knows us, and welcomes us — no matter where we come from. She shares about growing up in low-income housing, living through seasons of hardship, and how she encountered God's miraculous and impartial love after college.Through her journey with dyslexia and the belief that she “couldn't do it,” Oghosa discovered how God uses our weaknesses as the very place where His strength shines brightest. What began as a study on James 2 in her local church became a powerful call to the Church today — to live out God's impartial love in a culture obsessed with status, influence, and comparison.We talk about: • What it means to be forever welcomed by a God who sees us and calls us by name. • How impartial love doesn't ignore truth — it transforms how we live it out. • Why the Church risks losing its greatest witness when we show favoritism. • The freedom that comes when we stop viewing our weaknesses as disqualifications and start seeing them as divine invitations. • How Jesus flipped cultural norms upside down and revealed God's heart for all people — especially women who felt unseen or unworthy.Oghosa reminds us that God's love is both just and merciful — a love that welcomes us into His presence and calls us to extend that same welcome to others.

It's Monday, October 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus U.S. Christian missionary pilot kidnapped in Niger at gunpoint Prayers are now going up to Heaven around the world for American missionary pilot Kevin Rideout after he was reportedly kidnapped from his home in the highly secure Château 1 neighborhood of Niamey, the capital of Niger in West Africa, reports The Christian Post. Rideout, a 48-year-old married father, works with Serving In Mission.  Radio France Internationale reported last Wednesday that Rideout was kidnapped by three men at gunpoint near the grand Bravia Hotel, in the city center, just a few hundred meters from the presidential palace. A U.S. State Department spokesman told CBS News, "It is a top priority for the Trump administration to look after the safety of every American, and we are seeing efforts from across the U.S. government to support the recovery and safe return of this U.S. citizen.” The U.S. Embassy in Niamey also issued a security alert on Wednesday, warning Americans that they face a "heightened risk of kidnapping" throughout the country, which has been in political turmoil since a coup d'etat on July 26, 2023. There has been no known demand from any kidnappers nor any official response from the Nigerien government. Security officials said the kidnapped American's phone was tracked less than an hour after the abduction late Tuesday night to a location about 56 miles north of Niamey — in an area "considered a sanctuary for groups affiliated with the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara" between the Nigerian capital and the Malian border.  Please pray Psalm 121:7 for missionary pilot Kevin Rideout. “The Lord will keep you from all harm. He will watch over your life.” Mike Johnson: Democrats want waste and abuse back in Medicaid The U.S. government has been shut down now for 27 days. Appearing on ABC, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, explained what the Democrats in the U.S. Senate are trying to do instead of voting for the clean Continuing Resolution to re-open the government. JOHNSON: “What it does is it unwinds the changes that Republicans put into the Big, Beautiful Bill, the big signature legislation that we passed and signed into law on July 4 that has been very successful in shoring up Medicaid for the people who are actually eligible to receive it. “What we did in the bill, and the CBO just verified this three weeks ago, the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan arbiters of everything up here, they said that those provisions have helped to reduce premiums. “Why? Because we got ineligible recipients off of Medicaid, illegal aliens and able bodied young men who are riding the wagon, who are not eligible to be there. Medicaid is intended for specific populations of U.S. citizens -- that is young, pregnant women who are down on their luck, the disabled and the elderly. “Those resources are being drained from those folks, and so we fixed that. We reduced fraud, waste, and abuse in the program. Chuck Schumer's counter proposal on the [Continuing Resolution] would reverse that. That is a simple fact.” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson polling higher than Kamala for president Former Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost in a landslide against President Donald Trump last November, chatted with BBC interviewer Laura Kuenssberg about her book 107 Days. Kamala said she might possibly run for president in 2028 despite the fact that she is a certifiable long shot. KUENSSBERG: “In terms then, of what is next for you, you write very powerfully about the differences that many women have made to your life, the experience of growing up with your extraordinary mother, or the stories of your baby nieces, Amara and Leela. When are they going to see a woman in charge in the White House?" HARRIS: “In their lifetime, for sure.” KUENSSBERG: “Could it be you?" HARRIS: "Possibly." KUENSSBERG: "Have you made a decision yet?” HARRIS:  “No, I have not.” KUENSSBERG: “But you say in your book, ‘I'm not done.'” HARRIS:  “That is correct. I am not done. I have lived my entire career a life of service, and it's in my bones. There are many ways to serve. I've not decided yet what I will do in the future, beyond what I'm doing right now.” KUENSSBERG: “But you've been very clear that it is a possibility you might run again to become president. And, in my experience, interviewing politicians, when someone says, ‘I'm not done,' it means they are thinking seriously about running. But when you look at the bookies odds, they put you as an outsider, even behind Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Is that underestimating you?” HARRIS: “I think there are all kinds of polls that will tell you a variety of things. I've never listened to polls. If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office or my second office. And I certainly wouldn't be sitting here in this interview.” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the WWE wrestler turned actor, has starred in 30 films which have earned $6.2 billion. He also has 391 million followers on Instagram. According to Polymarket, an online betting website where users can place "yes" or "no" bets on the likelihood of world events, “The Rock” has a 5.6% chance of becoming the Democratic presidential nominee compared to Kamala Harris who has a 5% chance, reports Newsweek.   California Governor Gavin Newsom and Congresswoman Alexendria Ocasio-Cortez are the top two at 32% and 11% respectively. Dallas church paints steps homosexual pride colors And finally, after Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatened to withhold funding from cities and counties with pro-homosexual, pro-transgender rainbow crosswalks, one God-hating Texas church has responded by defiantly painting its own steps with the sodomite colors, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Lesbian Pastor Rachel Allison, of Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas, explained why she disagreed with Abbott. She said, "Silence in the face of harm always sides with the oppressor. Painting our steps in the colors of the rainbow is a visible witness to the gospel we preach: that every person is created in the image of God and worthy of safety, dignity and belonging." They certainly were not affirming the original Biblical meaning of the rainbow. In Genesis 9:13-15, God said, “I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the Earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the Earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.” Not surprisingly, Pastor Rachel Allison is faux married to a woman named Cheryl. Governor Abbott's threat includes San Antonio's sexual perversion district on North Main Avenue and East Evergreen Street. Now, more than six years after its installation, local perverts are urging San Antonio city officials to fight to keep the public art installations despite Abbott's directive. The Lone Star State Governor said, “Texans expect their taxpayer dollars to be used wisely, not advance political agendas on Texas roadways. To keep Texans moving safely and free from distraction, we must maintain a safe and consistent transportation network across Texas.” The directive comes after Trump-appointed U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a statement urging state governors to join a national roadway safety initiative to nix artwork and political messaging from the streets. In a post to X, Duffy wrote, "Taxpayers expect their dollars to fund safe streets, not rainbow crosswalks." Write a polite, Biblically-based 2-3 sentence letter of objection to Pastor Rachel Allison, Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, 3014 Oak Lawn Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75219.

NAJ - ناج - YouTube NAJ: The Moroccan Sensation Taking the World by Storm with Her Hit ‘OULALA OUNTALA — La Vie En Rose A story of rhythm, roots, and a rising Moroccan voice uniting Africa through music In this exclusive episode, Hurricane H welcomes NAJ, the young Moroccan artist who's taking the world by storm with her electrifying blend of pop, R&B, electro, afro, Latin, and oriental influences. From her early days chasing melodies in Morocco to becoming a continental sensation, NAJ opens up about her journey, her challenges, and the vision that drives her. She shares how staying true to her roots helped her rise above barriers and carve out a sound that bridges cultures and generations. Her latest hit, “OULALA OUNTALA — La Vie En Rose,” is more than a song — it's a celebration of unity and African pride. Filmed across Senegal's most iconic landmarks — from the lively streets of Dakar to the symbolic Gorée Island, the natural beauty of Somone and the Bandia Safari, and crowned by the monumental Renaissance statue — the video pays homage to shared history, freedom, and creativity. NAJ also reveals what it meant to become the first Moroccan artist to shoot a music video of this magnitude in Dakar, collaborating with a local Senegalese dance troupe, Nigerian artist Pekeys, and the painter Amadou Nieng, who painted live throughout the shoot — turning music into a moving work of art. With over 6 million TikTok views, a partnership with ARCOL, and growing international acclaim, NAJ's success is no coincidence. It's the story of a fearless artist who dares to dream big, build bridges, and wear her colors with pride. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about art, culture, resilience, and the power of music to unite a continent.

1. Christian Persecution in Nigeria Senator Cruz highlights what he describes as a massive and underreported crisis involving the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Key points include: Over 50,000 Christians killed since 2009. 18,000 churches and 2,000 schools burned, allegedly by extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS in West Africa. Accusations that some Nigerian government officials are complicit or negligent in addressing the violence. Cruz has introduced legislation to designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions on individual officials involved in or ignoring the persecution. He criticizes the mainstream media for failing to cover the issue adequately. Public figures like Bill Maher and Van Jones are cited as supporting the claim that this is a planned genocide and that media silence is a moral failure. 2. Christian Persecution in China This section shifts to a similar story: The Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on Christianity, particularly targeting Pastor Jin Mingri and the Zion Church. Cruz introduced a bipartisan resolution with Senator Chris Coons condemning China’s actions and urging the release of imprisoned pastors. He emphasizes the need for economic and diplomatic pressure, especially with President Trump’s upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping. The resolution calls for respect for religious freedom and highlights China’s long-standing designation as a “Country of Particular Concern” by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. 3. DOJ Surveillance of Republican Senators Cruz discusses revelations that: The Biden DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed phone records of nine Republican senators and one House member in connection with the January 6 investigation. Cruz’s phone records were requested from AT&T, but the company refused to comply, citing constitutional protections under the Speech and Debate Clause. He frames this as political persecution and a dangerous abuse of power, likening it to Watergate. He calls for Congressional hearings and transparency to prevent future surveillance of elected officials. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Allegations of George Soros Funding Anti-Trump “No Kings” Rallies Ben and Sen Cruz explain that recent anti-Trump rallies, branded as “No Kings,” were not grassroots movements but were funded by George Soros through his Open Society Foundations. They cite financial connections between Soros and progressive organizations like Indivisible, which allegedly helped organize the rallies. The podcast criticizes the rallies as being “AstroTurf” (fake grassroots), lacking diversity, and driven by radical left-wing ideology. Cruz introduces the “Stop Funders Act”, a proposed bill that would add rioting as a predicate act under the RICO Act, allowing prosecutors to target those who fund violent protests. 2. Mass Killing of Christians in Nigeria Cruz highlights the mass murder of over 50,000 Christians in Nigeria since 2009, allegedly by extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS in West Africa. He accuses the Nigerian government of either ignoring or enabling the violence, citing reports from the U.S. State Department and other sources. Cruz has introduced legislation to designate Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” and to impose sanctions on Nigerian officials complicit in the violence.
