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.

In this episode, Doreen and Megan dive into the theme of Belonging with Tayo Rockson, whose life as a global citizen, diplomat's son, writer, and basketball lover has uniquely shaped his perspective on identity, inclusion, and community. Together, they explore how moving across cultures influences our understanding of self, the growing crisis of belonging in a polarized, fast-paced world, and practical tools for cultivating more inclusive communities.Key Topics & Takeaways:Tayo's Global Journey:Raised in five countries across four continents by age 17.Navigating identity as a Nigerian living abroad: Code-switching, language barriers, and the pressure to “fit in”The concept of "lily pad thinking" - that is growth through incremental changes rather than binary leapsBelonging in Today's World:We're experiencing a “crisis of community, identity, and values.”Binary (either/or) thinking and social media are fueling division and reducing our opportunities for true connection.We need to slow down, reflect, and get comfortable with nuance, discomfort, and messiness.Moving from Head to Heart:Practicing basic self-inquiry—What am I feeling? Why? How will I respond?Importance of understanding personal biases, values, and triggers.Ownership over our roles, both as those affected by bias and as people who may perpetuate it unconsciously.Authenticity & Inclusivity:Authenticity starts with asking “Who do I want to show up as?”The power of stating your needs and values, even when it's uncomfortable.Perfectionism and “the invisibility cloak”—how hiding our messiness suppresses humanity and connection.For Leaders:“Don't be afraid to be human.”Admitting mistakes and modeling vulnerability fosters psychological safety and real team connection.Perfection can be oppressive—process and progress matter.Lightning Round Highlights:Synonyms for belonging: Safety, home, appreciation, understanding.Language Tayo would learn: Igbo (Nigerian tribal language).Dream destination: Singapore.Tayo's Motto:“Use your difference to make a difference.”Embrace uniqueness as a superpower. Start with similarity if difference feels challenging.Recommended Resources:Use Your Difference to Make a Difference – Tayo's BookAs Told By Nomads – Tayo's Podcast ArchiveRethinking by Adam Grant (book reference)Paradise Found (film) – For lighter reflections on difference and belongingConnect with Tayo:Website & Socials: tyrockson.com | @tyrockson everywhereClosing Quote:“Real belonging does not require that we change.

In Nigeria, the word chop is used for food and feasting, and to say "come chop" is an invitation into sharing and community. This is precisely how Ozoz Sokoh's debut cookbook, Chop Chop: Cooking the Food of Nigeria begins. It is warm, inviting, and open to all those who are interested in learning about Nigerian cuisine, and the role of home cooks in creating the most beloved classic Nigerian dishes.  Ozoz herself is a food explorer, educator, and traveler by plate. She is a professor of Food and Tourism Studies at Centennial College, and makes her home with her three teenage children in Mississauga, part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation in Ontario, Canada. Her work documents and celebrates Nigerian and West African cuisine, and she is particularly fascinated by all the ways we're similar. Be it through dishes, drinks, material culture or more, Ozoz explores these across geographies, cultures, and histories, in spite of our apparent differences.  In today's conversation, we explore a wide range of the history and future of Nigerian cuisine, including the stories of how ingredients came to be in Nigerian dishes, the homegrown love of protein (and why it's not the relationship to protein you'd expect in a Western lens), and how Ozoz approaches exploring the histories of recipes and cuisine across Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Angel is talking to Bobby about recreating their Colorado vibes with a Potomac fixer-upper.Tia FaceTimes her mom Yetunde—cocktail in hand—who hints that a “surprise” is coming for her. Sienna (16) immediately wants to know where her surprise is.Ashley heads to Baltimore to visit Monique, who's officially back in Potomac Nation. The two have nine years of on-and-off friendship, and Ashley fills her in on the Stacey situation—specifically that Stacey has allegedly been going on dates with Monique's ex-husband, Chris Samuels. 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. Her stepfather filled that father role until his death, and she misses that connection deeply.Elsewhere, Stacey is launching her cannabis line,  Shayo, inspired by her Nigerian roots. Despite the chatter, she says she's not copying Happy Eddie's brand. Wendy agrees the industry is big enough for everyone.Angel meets up with her sister Ingrid and admits she felt humiliated by Gizelle calling her out for being too filtered on the blogs. 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/

In Nigeria, genotype goes beyond medicine, it shapes relationships, marriage choices, and family planning.While focus often rests on sickle cell patients with the SS genotype, questions remain about whether AA people are truly healthier than AS or SS. Today on Nigeria Daily, we explore these beliefs through the voices of Nigerians and the insights of a medical doctor.

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 |

When a man can secretly order abortion pills in his wife’s name and force them on his pregnant girlfriend, something is deeply broken in our culture. This week's episode of The Narrative breaks down a shocking Ohio case that exposes the growing dangers of unregulated abortion pill access and the cultural ideology enabling it. Aaron, David, and Mike unpack how current FDA rules allowed a man to order abortion drugs in his wife’s name and forcibly give them to his pregnant girlfriend. They also highlight the media’s stunning lack of coverage, the worldview driving that silence, and what must happen now to protect women from coercion and abuse. After their discussion, Evans and Ben Nwankwo of Ambassadors for Self Determination—native Nigerian brothers who now live in Ohio—join the conversation to expose the brutal reality of Christian persecution in Nigeria and an ongoing genocide claiming roughly 30 lives every day. The guys unpack the violence, the government’s complicity, and how US pressure and foreign-aid leverage could finally force change. Don't miss this episode, which pulls back the curtain on two stories the mainstream won’t touch and learn what must happen to protect women and save persecuted Christians. Take Action As Christians, we must act now! Our brothers and sisters in Nigeria are facing a daily threat most of the world refuses to acknowledge, and Congress needs to hear from believers who won’t look away. Take one minute today to contact your US Representative and Senators through our Action Center and urge them to back Senator Cruz’s legislation. Your voice can help push America to stand up, apply the pressure, and protect innocent Christians before more lives are lost. Also, the Trump Administration can restore protections for women and their children by reinstating the safeguards around the abortion pill. Use CCV’s Action Center to contact your members of Congress and federal leaders today, it takes just 60 seconds to demand real accountability and save lives.

Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. 1925

Her home runs on tight Nigerian structure: early mornings, strict schedules, and prayers before bed. Even husband Eddie admits his job is “to follow Wendy's rules.”In Naples, Florida, free-spirited Althea Shapiro believes in “low-demand parenting.” Her kids — Hailey (19), Dylan (16), Shane (12), and Skyler (10) — pack their own lunches, play basketball in the living room, and have no bedtime. Her philosophy? No stress, no schedule, no problem.When the wives swap, culture shock hits fast.Wendy lands in a house with zero furniture, a ferret named Breck, and a husband working out of the laundry room.Althea walks into Wendy's spotless Potomac home — greeted by rules, routines, and Wendy's mom Susan, who immediately declares her lazy.Wendy tries to bring order to the Shapiro home — family dinners, no phones, bedtime at 9 — while Althea introduces crafts, paint, and chaos to the Osefo household. (There's red paint on the carpet, and Eddie is not having it.)But the emotional center of the episode comes from Hailey, Althea's oldest, who confides in Wendy that her mom used to be a Type-A supermom before moving to Florida — and that her younger siblings never got that same version of her. Wendy's empathy leads to a heartwarming connection between the two women later on.By swap's end, both families learn balance:Wendy admits she could use more flexibility and fun.Althea realizes her kids still need structure — and that Craig deserves more partnership at home.They part as friends (with one ruined carpet and a lot of perspective).Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Patrick spotlights issues from US-Israel relations, beginning with vintage Nixon audio, to the anguish of Nigerian Christians and the struggle for truth amid religious confusion. Listeners bring honest questions about doctrine, personal pain, and family battles; Patrick responds with stories, book suggestions, candid advice, and moments both sharp and compassionate. Surprises, raw emotion, and faith collide as Patrick talks history, prayer, and everyday dilemmas.

Leah Sharibu is a young Nigerian girl, held by Boko Haram since 2018. Andrea Picciotti-Bayer tells her story, and Tyler Blanski has some rugged wisdom for faithful dads.

In early November 2025, Donald Trump publicly warned that the U.S. could cut aid to Nigeria — and even deploy military force — if the Nigerian government failed to stop the killing of Christians. The statement exploded across global news feeds. In this episode we trace the story from the viral headlines to the facts behind the numbers, and ask the tougher questions most coverage skips. We cover: • What Trump actually said and how U.S. lawmakers (e.g., Ted Cruz) and media amplified the story. • Nigeria's official pushback — from President Tinubu's advisers to the Deputy Senate President — and the sovereignty questions it raises. • The on-the-ground reality: the decades-long insurgency of Boko Haram/ISWAP, banditry and farmer–herder violence; who's dying and why simple religious tallies can be misleading. • How conflict, weak governance and criminal economies allow jihadist groups to morph into local governing actors. • The larger geopolitical subtext: could this be a Gaza-deflection narrative, or linked to great-power competition over rare earths and resources? We discuss claims about rare-earth supply chains, foreign contractors, and the strategic value of Nigeria. • What real solutions look like — from strengthening governance and cutting insurgent financing to international cooperation that respects sovereignty and human rights.

Are Christians being targeted and killed in their thousands in Nigeria? That's the claim made by US President Donald Trump in several social media posts. He's blamed the Nigerian Government for allowing the killing of Christians, and has threatened to stop aid and send troops into the African country. It not only caught the attention of Nigerians, but also rapper Nicki Minaj. In a post on X that's been seen more than 50 million times, she said she's grateful to Trump, writing that no group should be persecuted for their religion. But is there truth to what Trump says? We speak to BBC reporter Ijeoma Ndukwe to learn more about the religious tensions in Nigeria and what's really happening. We also hear from two young Nigerians, who offer up their thoughts on the situation.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the Democrat Party government shutdown is the best evidence why the government should never, for example, take over our healthcare system. It's not controlled by Democrat politicians (senators) abusing the filibuster rule to blackmail the country and do as much damage to the economy as possible to further government control of the economy and leftwing political agendas. Also, the U.S. air traffic control system and TSA should be privatized.  It's unacceptable that our air traffic could come to a halt because air traffic controllers wouldn't show up for work during the shutdown.  Later, the media is ignorant for mischaracterizing the pardoning of 77 people involved in challenging the 2020 election results as an attempt to overturn them. Challenging elections is a longstanding legal right, dating back to John Adams' era, and includes demanding recounts, lobbying state officials like the Secretary of State, and submitting alternative slates of electors to the Archivist of the United States to preserve potential wins. These actions are neither obstructive nor criminal.  Afterward, Rep Chip Roy, who's running for Attorney General of Texas, calls in and explains that Texas is under attack by a network of radical Marxists and Islamists seeking to seize it from America. The nation is rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, the Constitution, and Western civilization, which directly conflict with Sharia law.  He also explains that Democrats are exposing their scheme by admitting Biden's temporary COVID subsidies are essential for Obamacare to function, as even the Washington Post acknowledges it was never affordable.  Finally, Tucker Carlson platformed a guest who downplayed Christian persecution in Nigeria and had previously represented an accused Nigerian figure involved in targeting Christians.

PREVIEW. Violence in Nigeria and US Involvement Debate. Caleb Weiss discusses violence against Nigerian Christians by herders and jihadists. He argues the US should avoid communal conflicts. Although the US has helped fight Boko Haram and ISWAP with intelligence, Weiss doubts that air strikes will succeed, given Nigeria's failed efforts despite investing thousands of troops since 2009. 1949 NIGERIA Retry

Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria's funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents “Detty December is Human Trafficking,” hosted by TMT & Koj.Every December, Lagos becomes a conveyor belt of bodies, bottles, and bravado—an economy of daytime festivals that start too late for the sun, beach days that turn into boat-hopping on the Lagos Lagoon, and selfies in the red-light district otherwise known as Lagos traffic. It's our annual rite of passage: equal parts pilgrimage and punishment.The boys build a Detty December checklist: stuffy clubs with famously disorderly queues; Russian roulette with fake alcohol; concerts that begin at 3 a.m. and stages that collapse by 3 a.m.; and the not-so-subtle deployment of Nigerian police by private citizens—like Pokémon.There's wedding culture, too: the old era of joyful gate-crashing is fading under inflation, replaced by a dystopian hustle where IJGBs and culture tourists buy access to “authentic” Nigerian weddings. TMT's PSA is simple: if you purchase a ticket to crash a wedding because of an IG ad made on Canva, expect hands. Koj counters that the market will protect anyone willing to buy tables at weddings like it's Rhythm Unplugged.Climate anxiety hovers over the festivities: rain bleeding into November, potentially signaling higher heat levels in December, and a city with a track record of not solving environmental crises—before the conversation pivots to Sanwo-Olu at Lagos Fashion Week, modeling a “sustainable” aesthetic. You can't spell APC without AC, so APC will cool the globe.The hosts resurrect the word “chassis”—a car term upgraded into a compliment—to show how Nigerianisms morph in real time. Ultimately, like Detty December itself, language is just infrastructure for what we really want: to be seen, to be inside, to say, “I survived.”

Hour 3 for 11/10/25 Drew and former Ambassador Joseph Cella cover the Trump administration's posture towards Nigeria during the ongoing Christian persecution there (3:56). Topics/callers: boycotting China (8:57), being the world's policeman (12:26), and persecution vs. land dispute (17:36). Then, Dr. Kenneth Craycraft covers the moral implications of nuclear weapons testing (33:33). Links: x.com/@krcraycraft

Nigerian modern art is having a moment. In London, the Tate has opened a critically acclaimed exhibition, called “Nigerian Modernism,” featuring more than 50 artists who experimented with vibrant new styles in the mid 20th century in the giant and influential West African nation. More generally, the artists of this era have become more recognized outside of their home country in recent decades, from early figures who laid the groundwork like Aina Onabolu to a towering figure of the 1950s like Ben Enwonwu to younger innovators of the 1950s and 1960s such as Uche Okeke and Demas Nwoko, with many more important names to know and bodies of work to discover. This was an earth-shaking time in Nigerian history, when a near-century of British colonial domination was shed and the many problems of a fragile new independent nation had to be faced. These artists were part of figuring out how to express that new sense of identity in images. But their art was not always so celebrated, sometimes dismissed as derivative of European art. The scholar and curator Chika Okeke-Agulu has been important to the recent re-estimation of Nigeria's art history. He teaches at Princeton, and is the author of, among many other things, of Postcolonial Modernism: Art and Decolonization in Twentieth-Century Nigeria, a book that personally excited me very much when I first found it. With the Tate show drawing a fresh wave of interest, art critic Ben Davis thought Okeke-Agulu would be an excellent guide to what this art was, what it meant, and why it still demands attention today.

Election Day in New York City arrives with socialist frontrunner Zohran Mamdani leading the polls, as a prominent activist supporter publicly warns she'll “hold him accountable” if he fails to deliver on his left-wing promises once in office. A new Democracy Matters report finds six in ten working-class voters view Democrats as “woke, weak, and out of touch,” with many unable to name what the party stands for beyond opposing Trump. President Trump threatens to cut aid and potentially send in U.S. forces unless the Nigerian government acts to stop what he calls the “mass slaughter” of Christians by Islamist militants. Dilbert creator Scott Adams says Trump-world intervention finally secured him a critical cancer treatment after months of delays. Walmart: Learn how Walmart is fueling the future of U.S. manufacturing at https://Walmart.com/America-at-work All Family Pharmacy: Order now at https://allfamilypharmacy.com/MEGYN and save 10% with code MEGYN10 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

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.

Currently a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and founder of the AHA Foundation. 2. Defining Political Islam vs. Islam as a Religion: Hirsi Ali distinguishes between Islam as a religion and Islamism (political Islam). She describes Islamism as a totalitarian ideology aiming to establish Islamic dominance globally. Emphasizes the threat posed by groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, which she compares to a “termite infestation” due to their subversive tactics. 3. The Muslim Brotherhood: Founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna in Egypt. Described as a decentralized, global movement using both peaceful and violent means to infiltrate societies. Hirsi Ali and Cruz advocate for its designation as a terrorist organization in the U.S. 4. The Red-Green Alliance: A term used to describe the alliance between radical Islamists (green) and Marxist/communist groups (red). Hirsi Ali warns that this alliance is strategically dangerous and aims to undermine Western democratic institutions. 5. Sharia Law and Its Implications: Hirsi Ali outlines the oppressive nature of Sharia law, especially toward women and LGBTQ individuals. She warns of the potential consequences if Islamist ideologies gain influence in Western societies. 6. Islamist Influence in Europe and the U.S.: Hirsi Ali and Cruz discuss the rise of Islamist influence in European cities and the potential for similar developments in the U.S. They express concern over political figures like Zohran Mamdani and Ilhan Omar, suggesting they represent the Red-Green alliance. 7. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria: Cruz and Hirsi Ali highlight the mass murder of Christians by Boko Haram and other Islamist groups.
