Eight people have been confirmed dead with a further 17 still missing. Also on the programme: Spain asks for help from the EU to process hundreds of migrants who crossed into its North African territory of Ceuta; and the director of a new biopic about Charles de Gaulle tells us how the general's self-belief persuaded Winston Churchill that Free France could fight back against the Nazis.

This week, the speaker is mourning the loss of Dolly Parton, but also reflecting on the recent passing of Tim Curry. t's a celebrity trifecta that's got everyone talking. But amidst the sadness, the speaker is also sounding the alarm on the potential consequences of a single-payer healthcare system. With the rise of Medicare for All, the speaker is joined by Sally Pipes, a healthcare expert from the Pacific Research Institute, to discuss the realities of a government-run healthcare system. They delve into the failures of the UK's National Health Service and the Canadian healthcare system, highlighting the long waiting times, low doctor morale, and the financial costs associated with a single-payer system. The speaker also touches on the topic of assimilation, discussing the challenges of integrating migrants into Western culture. They share a shocking statistic from Switzerland, where 80.5% of asylum seekers from North African countries were accused of one or more offenses. The speaker questions whether this is a reflection of the culture of the migrants or a sign of a larger problem with the system. Additionally, they discuss the importance of understanding the differences between Western values and the values of other cultures. In a lighter moment, the speaker talks about the new features being added to Uber, including a teen account and a live streaming feature that allows parents to monitor their child's ride. They also discuss the importance of being aware of the potential risks of artificial intelligence, citing a recent essay by Bill Gates on the topic. Tune in to hear the full episode and learn more about the celebrity trifecta, the future of healthcare, and the importance of understanding cultural differences.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spain's Migration Meltdown, Ireland Riots, DSA's Secret Senate Candidate, and the Fauci Diary Bombshell | The RundownThis week on The Rundown, Jillian and Fletcher break down the headlines the mainstream media won't touch. Spain's migration crisis just got worse, with 500,000 North African migrants in Libya now positioned to cross into Greece next. Ireland is erupting, with citizens in Belfast setting up roadblocks after a Sudanese migrant tried to behead an Irishman in the street. Wisconsin's DSA-backed governor candidate Francesca Hong wants Thanksgiving canceled and Trump "86'd." Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's ties to Hasan Piker, ISNA, and CAIR raise serious questions about who's funding his campaign.

The surge of more than 60,000 migrants into Spain's North African exclave of Ceuta has reignited debate over border security, immigration policy, and the growing use of migration as a geopolitical weapon. In the latest episode of the Parsing Immigration Policy podcast, Fellow in Law and Policy Andrew Arthur, filling in for host Mark Krikorian, welcomes European immigration expert Juan Soto to examine the causes of the crisis and the lessons it holds for the United States.Soto argues that the July 30 mass crossing was more than a spontaneous migration event. Instead, he contends it was a coordinated effort intended to send a political message to Spain, given Morocco's continued claims to sovereignty over Ceuta, Melilla, and the Canary Islands. He explains how recent Spanish government policies, including a broad legalization program for illegal immigrants, a citizenship expansion law, and a Spanish Supreme Court ruling limiting the immediate return of migrants arriving by sea, contributed to the crisis.Arthur and Soto also examine the broader geopolitical context of the surge, the muted and often critical response from the European Union and the United States, and how Spain's recent foreign policy positions may have shaped international reactions to the crisis.The episode concludes with Soto's recommendations for responding to instances where migration is used as a geopolitical weapon. He argues that governments must "fix the facts" by accurately describing coordinated mass crossings as hybrid attacks rather than ordinary immigration crises and establish clear consequences in advance—from diplomatic measures to economic sanctions—to deter foreign actors' use of migration to advance political and strategic objectives.HostAndrew Arthur is a Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestJuan Soto is a European immigration expert and co-founder and CEO of Fortius Consulting.LinksJuan Soto's X AccountJuan Soto's Author Page at the Hungarian ConservativeJuan Soto's INIR Article: Battlefield, CeutaIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Callum Smiles joins Hearts of Oak to report from his recent trip to Ceuta, the Spanish enclave on the North African coast, where he was filming with Fox Populi. Fresh from Gibraltar, he describes a migration situation far larger than expected: thousands of arrivals after the major influx on 31 July, with Moroccan migrants concentrated in the south and sub-Saharan migrants in the north. The Spanish-majority enclave effectively saw its population double in a short period. From above it looked attractive; at street level it was chaotic and unstable. Callum details the military response, overcrowding and fights at facilities built for far fewer people, migrants openly stating they wanted Europe's wealth and a better life (encouraged by social media and eager to be filmed), and the wider implications for the EU, Schengen, and the necessity of border control. Callum Smiles is an independent British journalist, formerly with Rebel News UK and now working under Callum Smiles Media while contributing to Vox Populi.. Known as “the unconventional journalist,” he specialises in on-the-ground reporting of mass migration, the World Economic Forum in Davos (where he has confronted figures including Tony Blair, Larry Fink and Greta Thunberg), and related issues across Europe and beyond.

Tougher action is needed against ‌migrant smuggling networks after about 72,000 migrants entered Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta last week. To discuss further with Anton was Amnesty International's Deputy Regional Director for Europe, Dinushika Dissanayak.

Tens of thousands of Moroccans crossed into Spain and quickly overwhelmed the small city of Ceuta, a Spanish territory located on the North African coast. This caused panic throughout the European leadership, and now Spain is taking steps to stem the flow of migrants.Meanwhile in the United States, despite a Supreme Court ruling on temporary protected status, a judge has yet again blocked President Donald Trump's efforts to repeal the status for some who have held it.We'll discuss these topics and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

After around 50,000 migrants crossed into Spain's North African territory of Ceuta, far-right politicians across Europe quickly branded the events an "invasion." But with most migrants already returning to Morocco and UK illegal boat crossings dropping to a five-year low—down 43% compared to 2025—what is actually driving the debate around European border control?On this episode of The Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by Director of the Migration Observatory Madeleine Sumption, Director of Politics at Ipsos Keiran Pedley, and Austrian migration expert Gerald Knaus.They discuss whether the incident in Ceuta could drive a new surge for the far-right across Europe, how the UK could be affected and if immigration is still the hot topic for voters.

He also highlights recent congressional action involving Morocco and questions why the U.S. is weighing in on a long-running territorial dispute.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 31, 2026. We open with President Trump pointing to the migrant crisis in Spain's North African territory of Ceuta as a warning for the United States. Tens of thousands of migrants overwhelmed the small Spanish enclave in a single day, straining law enforcement and leaving dozens dead. We compare the scenes from Spain to what Americans witnessed at the southern border during the Biden administration, discuss why Trump believes voters need to remember those images before the next election, and examine how quickly both the media and the public forget just how chaotic the border became. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the Texas Stock Exchange officially begins trading in Dallas, marking another step in the financial migration away from New York. Then U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro moves to dismiss vandalism charges against former Olympian Davey Hearn after new evidence showed damage to the National Mall reflecting pool was caused by faulty construction rather than criminal activity. And President Trump announces the Freedom Haulers initiative, designed to help military veterans transition into commercial trucking while replacing foreign truck drivers with qualified American veterans. We also discuss Boy George's decision to release a song honoring the victims of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel—and the backlash that followed. After publicly supporting Israel and condemning terrorism, Boy George was dropped from a production of Jesus Christ Superstar. We examine how standing with victims of terrorism has become controversial in parts of the entertainment world and what that says about today's cultural climate. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, answer a listener question about friends who always strike up conversations with strangers. What starts as a lighthearted discussion turns into a funny look at how getting older seems to remove any fear of awkward conversations, why some people can't resist complimenting complete strangers in the grocery store, and whether younger generations raised on technology will lose that habit altogether. We dig into new membership data from the Democratic Socialists of America showing that only four percent of its members work in blue-collar jobs, despite the organization's constant claims to represent the working class. We contrast the rhetoric with the reality before turning to Houston, where Texas' state takeover of the Houston Independent School District transformed 121 failing schools into zero failing schools in just over three years. We examine why some critics still refuse to celebrate one of the most dramatic education turnarounds in the country. We also cover Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson's unusual family story before another round of Fake News Friday, featuring everything from the Alamo to WNBA betting controversies and some headlines that are just bizarre enough to sound believable. And we close with 88-year-old Libby Downey, who has already spent decades serving her community as a nurse, city council member, and volunteer—but decided it was finally time to pursue a lifelong dream. This fall she'll begin law school with plans to become a mediator after graduation, proving it's never too late to start the next chapter. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

President Trump says the US has postponed what he described as its largest military operation since World War II, claiming the decision followed direct appeals from Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and Iran. He insists a new deal is within reach, despite growing criticism that the delay has weakened America's negotiating position. Meanwhile, Trump's controversial "Board of Peace" claims it has secured a breakthrough agreement that would see Hamas disarm and Israel withdraw from Gaza, although Israel has yet to confirm the proposal following fresh strikes on the territory. Elsewhere, Europe is grappling with the fallout after around 60,000 migrants surged into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, triggering a political storm and renewed debate over border security and migration. Piers Morgan is joined by Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad for a tense one-on-one interview on the Israel-Gaza conflict. He is then joined by a panel featuring former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent, The Young Turks founder and CEO Cenk Uygur, US Navy SEAL veteran Rob O'Neill, and retired Green Beret and Speak The Truth host Matt Tardio to debate the latest developments. Later, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee joins EU lawmaker and leader of The Party is Over Alvise Pérez, alongside Revista Contexto director Miguel Mora, to discuss the political fallout from the Spain–Morocco migrant crisis.

The increase will make California's minimum wage the highest statewide minimum wage in the United States. The NYT live coverage focuses on a historic migration surge in which roughly 50,000 to 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, causing a humanitarian emergency and the deaths of at least 57 people.

pWotD Episode 3377: Ceuta Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 546,834 views on Friday, 31 July 2026 our article of the day is Ceuta.Ceuta (UK: , US: ; Spanish: [ˈθewta, ˈsewta] ; Moroccan Arabic: سَبْتَة, romanized: Sabtah) is an autonomous city of Spain on the North African coast. Bordered by Morocco, it lies along the boundary between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Ceuta is one of the special territories of members of the European Economic Area. Phoenicians founded a settlement in the La Almina Peninsula, which had continuity under Roman and Byzantine rule (Septem Fratres). It was annexed to the early caliphates upon the Islamic conquest of the Maghreb, only to be destroyed during the Berber Revolt. It was rebuilt in the ninth century by Majkasa Ghomaras. For much of the Middle Ages, regional powers north and south of the Strait of Gibraltar vied for control over Ceuta, which was a key contested port in the so-called Battle of the Strait. In 1415, it was annexed to the Kingdom of Portugal, and subsequently, after 1580, to the Hispanic Monarchy, with the city choosing to stay in the latter after 1640. Ceuta was a regular municipality belonging to the Spanish province of Cádiz prior to the passing of its Statute of Autonomy in March 1995, as provided by the Spanish Constitution, henceforth becoming an autonomous city.Along with the Canary Islands, Ceuta was classified as a free port before Spain joined the European Union. Ceuta's majority population is predominantly Arab Muslims (who comprise approximately 45% of Ceuta's residents) and Andalusian Christians, with a small minority of Sephardic Jews and Sindhi Hindus (from Pakistan). Spanish is the official language of Ceuta, while Darija Arabic (Ceuta Arabic dialect) is also widely spoken.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:39 UTC on Saturday, 1 August 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Ceuta on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Brian.

Images from Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta have sparked a renewed debate over border security, immigration, and the future of Western nations. As thousands attempted to cross into Spanish territory, questions are being raised about Europe's migration policies, national sovereignty, and what these scenes could mean for the United States.

Thousands of migrants just flooded into the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco in a scene of absolute chaos, and local officials are begging for a national emergency. The border fences totally collapsed as hordes of people, mainly Moroccans, smashed through gates, swam across with inflatable tubes, and poured into the tiny North African enclave. Civil guard officers described the situation as “absolute chaos,” with thousands crossing and at least three people dying in the attempt. Residents locked themselves inside as shops and restaurants shuttered. Spain is now deploying military units, diving teams, and vessels while the interior minister heads to Ceuta. Morocco used tear gas and water cannons, but the surge still overwhelmed both sides. This isn't new — a similar mass rush hit in 2021 — and the White House is pointing straight at Europe's far-left globalist policies that enabled it. Regular Americans watching this know exactly what open-border experiments look like when the numbers get real. Mass migration pressure, failed European border security, and the consequences of ignoring the warnings are all on full display.

A.M. Edition for July 31. Earnings from AI hyperscalers this week showed rising demand for their cloud services, with Amazon's CEO forecasting corporate AI use was still in its ‘early stages.' But as EY's Dan Diasio tells us, rising token costs are leading many businesses to question their broader AI approach. Plus, the U.S. says Hamas has agreed to a broad plan to disarm in exchange for an eventual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. And WSJ reporter Margherita Stancati describes how the arrival of thousands of migrants into the Spanish territory of Ceuta from neighboring Morocco is piling political pressure on the center-left government in Madrid.

Spain says most of the around 55,000 migrants who flooded into its North African territory of Ceuta have returned to Morocco. We speak to a Spanish politician who asks for support from Spain's European partners.Also on the programme: Hamas has said it's agreed to completely disarm if Israel fully withdraws from Gaza and ends all its attacks; and can Fifa's Gianni Infantino survive after a severe backlash from his own senior staff?(Photo: Migrants from Morocco arrive at the Spanish border in Ceuta, Spain on July 31, 2026, as migrants cross into Ceuta by sea and land.

Thousands of illegal immigrants breached the border of Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco on Thursday, according to local authorities, who declared an emergency and asked the Spanish government to deploy the army to the enclave and completely close the border. President Donald Trump followed through on his promise to hit Iran hard, launching a new wave of intense strikes overnight after Tehran tried to attack U.S. forces. Trump also announced a new initiative dubbed “Freedom Haulers” to make American roads safer and open new pathways for military veterans to obtain jobs in the trucking industry. The father of the Apalachee High School shooter in Georgia received a 15-year prison sentence on Thursday in one of the nation's most closely watched parental accountability cases.

President Trump announcing a major development on Gaza, saying the Board of Peace has reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in the territory. The president says the deal represents critical progress toward Gaza being governed by a new Palestinian-led government working with the Board of Peace to improve conditions for residents. The agreement will be carried out in phases, beginning with an end to all military operations in Gaza, followed by the decommissioning of heavy weapons, tunnels, and weapons production sites.Republican Senators are working to cut a deal with democrats to avert an election time government shutdown. The goal is to fund the government through December 4th. Some Democrats are floating using the opportunity to force Republicans to wait until after the election to vote on President Trump's demanded budget reconciliation package. Part of the deal in discussion, is to restrict the White House's authority to stop funding grants deemed problematic or wasteful.Spain has deployed military units to its North African enclave of Cueta after thousands of illegal immigrants crossed the border from Morocco. At least 18 people died trying to reach the Spanish territory, and a local workers association said many died from drowning, but some were also killed in a stampede at an urban beach near a border checkpoint with Morocco. Spain's prime minister says the government is mobilizing all necessary resources and working with Moroccan authorities to restore normalcy.

Singer Laura Elkeslassy joins Shoshana Brown and Rafael Shimunov to talk about Arab Jewish culture and politics while we listen to her new album Ya Ghorbati / يا غربتي: Divas in Exile.While digging through Arabic music theory, Laura came across unknown family history we talk about on the show.Laura is Brooklyn-based vocalist born and raised in Paris, with ancestral roots in Morocco. From traditional Andalusi style to popular Chaabi and to Francarabe cabaret, Ya Ghorbati celebrates folk and sacred music from the Maghreb.Drawing inspiration from her Sephardi and Moroccan roots, Laura explores North African folk music, Andalusi nubas, Ladino canciones and Maghrebi Jewish liturgy.Three ways to listen to our show:​

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 30, 2026. We open with the Texas Senate race — where Democratic nominee James Tallarico released a polished campaign ad called Waking Up, featuring him driving a full-sized Dodge Ram 1500 through Texas oil fields and farm country. There's one problem: it's not his truck. Tallarico drives a Chevrolet Colorado, but its tinted windows made the interior too dark for filming, so his campaign rented the Dodge from a local company. We make the distinction between normal campaign staging and renting a persona — because the entire ad was designed to sell Tallarico as a natural extension of working Texans, and the truck was the centerpiece of that message. We also note that Republicans handed Democrats an opening by nominating Ken Paxton — damaged goods with a messy personal and political record — instead of Wesley Hunt, who would have won this race by a landslide. Texas Republicans got this one wrong. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump's Attorney General nominee Todd Blanch is in limbo after John Cornyn and Thom Tillis signaled they would not support him in the Senate Judiciary Committee — concerned about a proposed fund to compensate victims of political prosecution under Biden, including January 6th defendants, even after Blanch testified under oath the deal was dead. Trump is reportedly considering withdrawing the nomination until both senators leave office in January. Then the federal government demanded Colorado repay $8 million in Medicaid funds after an audit found the state had billed for services totaling more than 24 hours in a single day for the same patients — a mathematical impossibility. Colorado disagrees with the findings. And thousands of military-age North African men breached the border between Morocco and Spain at Ceuta — overwhelming local law enforcement, with at least nine people killed in the chaos. Spain's Supreme Court recently ruled that sea arrivals cannot be deported without due process hearings. Most of Spain's borders are water. We also cover the WNBA's latest self-inflicted embarrassment — the league itself posted and then deleted a video from All-Star Weekend showing Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers and Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese apparently agreeing to a $400 bet on the outcome of a game between their own teams. The WNBA's own rulebook explicitly prohibits players from wagering on league games, with penalties ranging from fines to lifetime bans. We ask the obvious question: what are the odds that Angel Reese faces the same consequences Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham would face in the same situation? Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to a listener question about the growing number of rules new parents are imposing on grandparents before they can see a newborn — mandatory vaccinations, isolation periods, mask requirements, no kissing — and trace it directly to the damage Anthony Fauci did to medical credibility during COVID. A generation raised on social media sees the exception, not the rule, and draws sweeping conclusions from rare worst-case scenarios. Teri's advice: get the vaccines with 50-year safety records, do your research on the newer ones, and for the love of everything good — let grandparents kiss the babies. We dig into a J7 report — tracking antisemitic violence in the seven countries with the largest Jewish populations outside Israel — which found that 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks in the Western world since 1994. There were 23,000 antisemitic attacks in those seven countries last year alone, including 20 murders of Jewish people motivated by hatred of Jews — three in the United States. We trace the rise to mainstream media coverage of Israel's response to October 7th that portrayed military action against a terrorist organization as genocide — providing ideological cover for people who were already antisemitic to act. We also connect it to the intersectionality framework that positions whoever appears most oppressed as the default sympathetic party — a framework that simultaneously claims to support women, gay people, and Palestinians, without reckoning with the fact that none of those three positions are compatible with each other under Hamas governance. For our first Bright Spot, President Trump announced that Middle East mediators — including Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey — have reached an agreement on the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, with a phased plan to rebuild Gaza, establish a new Palestinian government, and guarantee Israel's security. We call it what it is: not a ceasefire, not a pause, but a structured plan — and potentially the most significant Middle East development in a generation. For our second Bright Spot, the island nation of Micronesia — 75,000 people spread across 607 islands in the South Pacific — used to charge $65 per megabit per second per month for internet access because the government ran the only internet provider. When the government ended its monopoly and allowed private companies in — including Starlink — the price dropped 99% to 78 cents per megabit and internet access jumped from nearly nothing to 88% of the population. All they did was end the government monopoly. We connect it directly to New York City's government grocery store plan — and suggest Mamdani study Micronesia before he opens his first store. We also cover New York City bodegas allegedly allowing customers to use EBT food stamp cards to purchase kratom — an herbal extract not approved as food, a drug, or a dietary supplement — and potentially THC products. We call it what it is: SNAP trafficking, a federal crime that diverts money intended for nutrition into products that have nothing to do with nutrition. We also note that families of 9/11 victims are asking organizers of the 25th anniversary Ground Zero memorial to bar Mayor Mamdani from attending — citing his political positions, his anti-Semitic endorsements, and his statement during his campaign that the worst thing about 9/11 was that his aunt feared people were looking at her suspiciously. We say that day belongs to the families and to the fallen — and that Mamdani would be a distraction from both. And we close with 73-year-old Dave Whitlow of Richmond, Virginia — who has spent eight years volunteering twice a week at the Children's Hospital of Richmond as a professional cuddler of premature babies. On busy days he holds eight different babies, some weighing less than two pounds, giving them the human contact their developing systems need. As he places each one back into their NICU bed, he tells them the same thing: grow strong, grow smart, grow kind. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

A shocking scene in Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta sparks a massive row on Opinions Matter. Reports of 60,000+ migrants crossing the border in hours lead one listener, Keith, to send a furious voice note warning Ireland to “rise up” — but is it real concern or pure scaremongering?Things got really intense when we heard from one caller who said: "we need show more compassion and less hate to people who are just seeking a better life"

Around 60,000 migrants have crossed into Spain's ‘Ceuta', which is Spain's North African territory, in the last 24 hours. This comes after Spain's supreme court ruled that migrants stopped at sea while trying to reach Ceuta or Melilla, cannot be summarily returned to Morocco.Simon Hunter, a Journalist based in Spain joins Ciara to discuss.

Spain is being INVADED! Spain is facing an absolute border collapse as thousands of Moroccan migrants, mainly men, breach the frontiers of its North African enclaves, triggering an emergency deployment of the Spanish military.

We are often in a twilight, where light and darkness are both present and it is hard to tell which predominates. It is a blessed fear which drives us to trust.

I understand faithfulness.”~Marina Nemat, author of After Tehran: A Life Reclaimed, former political prisoner and inaugural recipient of the European Parliament's Human Dignity Award (2008)SERMON PASSAGEPsalm 56 (ESV)To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths.A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. 1  Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;  all day long an attacker oppresses me;2  my enemies trample on me all day long,  for many attack me proudly.3  When I am afraid,  I put my trust in you.4  In God, whose word I praise,  in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.  What can flesh do to me? 5  All day long they injure my cause;  all their thoughts are against me for evil.6  They stir up strife, they lurk;  they watch my steps,  as they have waited for my life.7  For their crime will they escape?  In wrath cast down the peoples, O God! 8  You have kept count of my tossings;  put my tears in your bottle.  Are they not in your book?9  Then my enemies will turn back  in the day when I call.  This I know, that God is for me.10 In God, whose word I praise,  in the Lord, whose word I praise,11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.  What can man do to me? 12 I must perform my vows to you, O God;  I will render thank offerings to you.13 For you have delivered my soul from death,  yes, my feet from falling,  that I may walk before God  in the light of life.

Tell me your favorite episode for the 6th anniversary show!In the early years of the United States, American ships faced a threat far from home along the North African coast.  Sailors were captured, tribute was demanded, and the young republic had to decide whether it would pay for peace or fight for its place on the high seas.  The result was America's first overseas military conflict and the birth of a new navy.  Yet, despite its historical significance, it has been almost completely forgotten.  Learn more about the Barbary Wars on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Tunisia's Andalusians: The Cultural Identity of a North African Minority (Edinburgh UP, 2025) tells the captivating story of those Andalusians, descendants of Muslims expelled from Spain in the seventeenth century, who sought refuge in Tunisia. Rather than simply replicating Iberian traditions, Andalusian culture in Tunisia stands as a vibrant and evolving phenomenon, shaped by complex dynamics of interaction and adaptation over four centuries. The book dismantles the romanticised view of Andalusian culture as a mere transplantation of al-Andalus, analysing distinctive cultural features that distinguish Andalusians as an ethnic group within Tunisia's diverse social fabric. Drawing on historical records and contemporary ethnographic data, including personal accounts and family archives, the book sheds light on how Andalusians navigate their unique cultural position amidst a Tunisian national narrative often focused on Arabo-Muslim homogeneity. By examining the complexities of cultural preservation and assimilation, the book offers a nuanced perspective on Andalusian identity, revealing its dynamism and resilience in the face of changing social, political, and economic circumstances.
