PREVIEW HEADLINE: Venezuela's Post-Maduro Challenge: Securing Military Loyalty in a Brief Transition Window GUEST: Evan Ellis, Professor, US Army War College 100-WORD SUMMARY: John Batchelor hosts Professor Evan Ellis to discuss the challenges facing Venezuela following the presumptive departure of Maduro, who heads the illegitimate Caracas regime and is named as the head of a drug cartel. The conversation focuses on the elected president, Edmundo González, and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado. Machado and González insist they are the elected government and their transition is not a regime change. Professor Ellis emphasizes that the timeline is critical. Since the US likely "won't necessarily be sticking around" to establish the transition to a democratic order, González and Machado will face a "very brief window and a very difficult task." Key challenges include establishing order and securing the loyalty of military personnel whose prior bosses were aligned with Maduro. 1900 CARACAS Retry

About a month ago, the foreign affairs and geopoltical media was abuzz with talk about the Victory Day military parade in Beijing. What had shocked was that, unlike the standard communist bloc military parades, with their thousands of Soviet-style tanks and armoured personnel carriers and well trained goose-steppers, this one showcased weaponry that could have come from a science fiction film: mobile, directed energy laser weapons; hypersonic glide vehicles; futuristic looking, fighter jet sized, loyal wingmen stealth drones; robot wolves; space defence systems.But was it real, or just a Potemkin arsenal driving past the Forbidden City? And if they were real, what do these things actually do? What do they mean for the balance of power in the western pacific? And, finally, as China climbs at breakneck speed up the military tech ladder, what does it mean for Washington's efforts to hold its defensive perimeter at the first Island Chain?Anybody interested in China's military tech, and especially its military aviation, will know TP Huang, an invaluable provider of detailed analysis on Beijing's ever greater military arsenal, and China's Beijing's technological progress more generally.

The New Yorker staff writer E. Tammy Kim joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss how the government shutdown is affecting the federal workforce. They talk about how the shutdown began and what it means for hundreds of thousands of civil servants who have been furloughed, laid off, or required to work without pay. They also examine the Administration's new “reductions in force,” or mass layoffs across key agencies, and how those cuts are being used in the effort to shrink and politicize federal agencies—and how those efforts could weaken not just essential public services but the long-term stability and nonpartisan functioning of the federal government itself.

On October 8, 2025, President Trump deployed the Texas National Guard to the Chicago area – marking yet another instance of military force being used domestically under his leadership. This follows earlier deployments of federal troops to states like California and Oregon. These actions point to a deeply troubling pattern: the use of U.S. military forces – trained to defend the nation from foreign threats – against its own citizens. Mary McCord, Executive Director of the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection and a Visiting Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center, joins WITHpod to discuss the legal and ethical implications of this alarming trend – and what it means for democracy.

Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
The United States has been escalating its attacks on Venezuela and has been positioning itself this year for a military invasion. The Venezuelan government recently requested action by the United Nations because it has good reason to believe that an attack is imminent. To understand the current threats and how Venezuela is preparing to defend itself, Clearing the FOG speaks with Roger Harris, a co-founder of the Venezuela Solidarity Network and member of the board of the Task Force of the Americas, as well as other Latin American solidarity organizations.

China's ties with Southeast Asia states are increasingly consequential for regional stability and global geopolitics. Over the past two decades, China has become the region's largest trading partner and a major source of investment and infrastructure financing. At the same time, China growing military presence and aggressive behavior in the South China Sea have caused anxiety and have prompted a number of Southeast Asian nations to seek closer security ties with the United States and other partners. The Trump administration's policies of imposing tariffs, reducing foreign assistance, and implementing stricter immigration regulations have begun to erode US influence across the region, further encouraging Southeast Asian countries to rely on each other and to diversify their relationships with external partners. To discuss Beijing's evolving approach to Southeast Asia and the efficacy of its policies, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Chong Ja Ian. He is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the National University of Singapore and a nonresident fellow at Carnegie China. Ian's research focuses on Chinese politics, foreign policy, and US-China relations.

One former defense official summed it up: “They're definitely looking for more, and they're doing it in a deliberate and expansive way.” The Pentagon's urgency is clear. “China's ability to turn off the supply of these critical minerals would have a direct, palpable and adverse effect on US ability to field the kind of high-tech capabilities that we're going to need for any kind of strategic competition or conflict,” said Stephanie Barna of Covington & Burling in Washington. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) adds fuel — $7.5 billion earmarked for critical minerals, including $2 billion to fortify the national stockpile and another $5 billion to expand U.S. supply chains. As one former official put it, offices handling mineral security are now “flush with cash.” Source: zerohedge.com A Hawkish Fed Official Is Rethinking His Stance on Rate Cuts Raphael Bostic has spent most of 2025 as one of the Federal Reserve's most steadfast inflation hawks. The Atlanta Fed president projected just one interest rate cut for the year when most of his colleagues on the Fed's policymaking committee anticipated three. Even after the central bank trimmed rates by a quarter of a percentage point in September, Bostic said he would support delaying further rate cuts until 2026.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. All 20 living hostages were released in two stages this morning. Fabian speaks about their releases and their status. We hear about some of the more well-known faces among them and how they are faring today. Shortly before releasing them, the Hamas terror group on Monday morning orchestrated video calls between some of the living hostages and their families, who were anxiously awaiting their return. As we recorded just ahead of the Simhat Torah holiday in Israel, US President Donald Trump had just finished a long and colorful speech to the Knesset, in which, among other statements, he firmly announced the end of the Gaza War. Fabian summarizes Israel's losses and wounded in the war. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

President Trump repeatedly promised that his mass deportation efforts would target “the worst of the worst” criminals, yet the government's own data reveals that immigrants with no criminal record are the largest group in US immigration detention today. How can the Trump administration justify its deployment of federal agents, and even the military, to US cities based on the factually disprovable fictions that American cities are crime-ridden “war zones” overrun with criminal “illegal aliens”? To answer that, one must study the long-established precedent in the USA of overpolicing poor communities of color that are painted as inherently violent, chaotic, and crime-ridden. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa speaks with TRNN reporters Stephen Janis and Taya Graham about what the history of policing in America can teach us about Trump's authoritarian deployment of law enforcement agencies today.For full show notes and transcript, click here.Credits:Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on BlueskyLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast
On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Qatar is the world's largest funder of terrorism, Islamism in education, and anti-American front groups and they will have an Air Force facility in America. American Air Force pilots will train Qatari pilots on F-15 jets. This is shocking. How can you reward Qatar with an Air Force facility given their role on 9/11? Will Qatar apologize for 9/11 and October 7th? Will they agree to swear off terrorism? Afterward, Rush Limbaugh was a staunch defender of Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Limbaugh visited Israel multiple times, promoted it on his radio show, and would be appalled by Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and others who associate with lowlifes that yearn for the Third Reich. Today Limbaugh would vocally oppose Qatar's U.S. base. Also, Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger is refusing to denounce her party's Attorney General nominee Jay Jones, who sent horrific texts about murdering a Republican and his family. Democrats, including Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, protect Jones, who is dangerous. Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears, a Marine veteran, businesswoman, is an excellent choice, despite the media bias against her. Later, Trump has imposed 100% tariffs on China in response to its export controls on rare earth minerals, which is blackmail on China's part. China is the enemy, and their weakness is the financial sector. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
