SOKOLSKI: CHINA'S CONVENTIONAL ICBM THREAT Guest: Henry Sokolski The US military is concerned China's PLA may field a conventionally armed ICBM able to strike the continental US. Such missiles could use maneuverable front ends to evade defenses and deliver autonomous drones. This weapon might target civil infrastructure to intimidate the US and deter intervention during a Taiwan conflict. This prospect is opening up a new and puzzling area of strategic warfare requiring urgent strategic assessment. 1941

SHOW 11-14-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE ECONOMY. FIRST HOUR 9-915 BLISS: WEST COAST URBAN ISSUES AND THE PACK FIRE Guest: Jeff Bliss Seattle elected socialist Kate Wilson, who wants public grocery stores. The Luxor Pyramid in Las Vegas has installed a massive slide for visitors. Both San Francisco and Santa Monica are seeing major business failures and mall auctions due to unchecked crime and vagrancy. Los Angeles Mayor Bass requested citizen help for cleanup before the Olympics. Meanwhile, the 3,000-acre Pack Fire in Mono County is being aided by heavy rain. 915-930 MCTAGUE: LANCASTER COUNTY ECONOMY AND AI FEAR Guest: Jim McTague Reports from Lancaster County show a strong local economy: a metal forming company is "busy as they've ever been" and actively hiring, and the mall is packed with shoppers. Tourism is thriving, exemplified by sold-out shows at the Sight and Sound Theater. However, a persistent fear of AI-driven layoffs exists among retirees, despite no personal connection to the issue. Data centers supporting AI are rapidly being built in the area. 930-945 A. THE FILIBUSTER AND CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the filibuster's purpose: slowing down legislation to improve deliberation and mitigate hyper-partisanship. However, he argues its use against continuing resolutions is illegitimate, leading to "horrendous dislocation." He proposes changing the Senate rule to forbid filibusters on continuing resolutions, ensuring essential government functions are not held hostage for collateral political gain and maintaining fiscal continuity. 945-1000 B. BBC DEFAMATION AND THE NEED FOR REFORM Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the BBC's alleged defamation of President Trump through edited footage. Unlike US law, British defamation has a low bar, though damages may be smaller. Epstein contends that the BBC's reputational damage is enormous and suggests the institution is "thoroughly rotten" due to corruption and political capture. He advocates for cleansing the operation and breaking up the public monopoly. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 BRANDON-WEICHERT: AI'S IMPACT ON JOBS AND GEOPOLITICS Guest: Brandon Weichert High-profile layoffs at Amazon and Walmart are tied to AI replacing roles, fitting the anticipated economic transformation, though it may initially look like a bubble. The US leads in AI software, while China excels in robotics. Concerns exist regarding massive AI bets by industry leaders like Ellison and Altman, specifically whether their political ties could result in taxpayer bailouts if these huge projects fail. 1015-1030 FIORI: ITALIAN HERITAGE TRAINS AND POLITICAL DISPUTES Guest: Lorenzo Fiori Italy is launching heritage Christmas trains like the Espresso Monaco and Espresso Assisi, restoring old coaches and locomotives for tourists. Deputy PM Salvini is publicly criticizing aid to Ukraine, linking it to corruption, potentially as a strategy to regain consensus and boost his party's falling popularity. Nationwide student protests are occurring over school reform and the Palestine issue. Milan is preparing for Christmas celebrations. 1030-1045 A. COMMERCIAL SPACE ACHIEVEMENTS AND POLICY SHIFTS Guest: Bob Zimmerman Blue Origin's New Glenn successfully launched and landed its first stage vertically, becoming only the second company to achieve orbital stage reuse, despite its slow operational pace. VAST, a US commercial space station startup, signed a cooperation deal with Uzbekistan, possibly including flying an astronaut to its Haven One module. France announced a new, market-oriented national space policy, significantly increasing budgets and embracing capitalism via public-private partnerships. 1045-1100 B. GOLDSTONE FAILURE AND SUPERNOVA DISCOVERY Guest: Bob Zimmerman NASA's Goldstone antenna, a critical link in the Deep Space Network, is out of service due to an embarrassing error where it was over-rotated, twisting the cables. This impacts communications with interplanetary and Artemis missions. Separately, new astronomical data from a supernova explosion shows the initial eruption was not symmetrical but bipolar, pushing material and light along the star's poles, refining explosion models. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1. JOSEPHUS AND THE SIEGE OF JODAPATA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Jewish revolt against Rome, starting in 66 AD, is primarily chronicled by Josephus, a leader of the revolt and later historian. Josephus commanded the defense of Jodapata against General Vespasian. After defeat, Josephus survived a mass suicide pact, surrendered, and convinced Vespasian not to kill him by predicting he would become Roman emperor. The rebels were inspired by previous victories like the Maccabees. 1115-1130 2. TITUS'S SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Nero's forced suicide in 68 AD and the subsequent chaos confirmed Josephus's prophecy, leading to Vespasian being proclaimed emperor in 69 AD. Vespasian left his son Titus to lay siege to Jerusalem in 70 AD. Though Jerusalem was a strong fortress, the defenders were critically weakened by infighting among three rebel factions and their own destruction of the city's necessary grain supply. 1130-1145 3. SURVIVAL DURING THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Before the siege of Jerusalem was sealed, two foundational groups fled: Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakai, smuggled out to Yavneh to establish Rabbinic Judaism, and the followers of Jesus, who went to Pella. Titus focused the Roman assault on the city's weakest point, the northern wall. The overconfident Romans were repeatedly frustrated by Jewish defenders using effective irregular tactics, including raids and undermining siege equipment. 1145-1200 4. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE AND MASADA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Flavians decided to completely destroy Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD, an act of extreme Roman imperialism that left the city in ruins. Afterwards, Judea was upgraded to a formal Roman province with a governor and the 10th Legion quartered in Jerusalem. Four years later, the siege of Masada ended with the alleged suicide of defenders, though archaeological evidence remains controversial among scholars. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Greenlights ROK Enrichment, Raising Proliferation Fears Guest: Henry Sokolski, Executive Director of the Non-Proliferation Policy Education Center The US agreement to support the Republic of South Korea's civil uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing for peaceful uses is viewed by Sokolski as a movement toward proliferation. Sokolski notes that this decision greenlights the ROK—a treaty ally with a history of attempting to use its civil programs to make nuclear weapons—to a position similar to Iran's. The ROK successfully leveraged the inconsistency of US policy, pointing out that Japan has permission to enrich and reprocess fuel and possesses a massive plutonium stockpile. Granting the ROK these capabilities sets a concerning precedent, potentially compelling the US to allow other countries like Saudi Arabia to seek similar nuclear options. The proliferation concern is heightened further by the ROK's desire for a nuclear-powered submarine, which could lead to pursuit of a full nuclear weapons triad. 1215-1230 SOKOLSKI: CHINA'S CONVENTIONAL ICBM THREAT Guest: Henry Sokolski The US military is concerned China's PLA may field a conventionally armed ICBM able to strike the continental US. Such missiles could use maneuverable front ends to evade defenses and deliver autonomous drones. This weapon might target civil infrastructure to intimidate the US and deter intervention during a Taiwan conflict. This prospect is opening up a new and puzzling area of strategic warfare requiring urgent strategic assessment. 1230-1245 A. RARE EARTHS: CHINA'S MONOPOLY AND AUSTRALIAN SUPPLY Guest: David Archibald China's predatory pricing previously achieved a rare earth monopoly, damaging competitors like Lynas, which almost went bankrupt. Australia, via companies like Lynas and Iluka, is being eyed by the US as a non-Chinese source for rare earths critical for high-end electronics and defense. Processing is complex, requiring many steps, and often occurs in places like Malaysia. 1245-100 AM B. HIGH-TEMPERATURE RARE EARTHS AND PREDATORY PRICING Guest: David Archibald The most desirable rare earths, Dysprosium and Terbium, allow magnets to function at high temperatures. China is now sourcing 40% of its supply of these from Myanmar. Though Australia produces these, structural oversupply is a risk. Subsidies, like the floor price given to MP Materials, may be necessary to prevent Chinese predatory pricing from killing off non-commercial producers seeking market dominance.

Latvijas Nacionālā bibliotēka aicina 8. novembrī svinēt latviešu grāmatas piecsimtgadi kopā. Tas būs cikla “Latviešu grāmatai 500” kulminācijas pasākums “Cauri tumsai ar grāmatu”. Svētku ievadā tiešraide Kultūras rondo, iepazīstinām ar programmu un tiekamies ar organizatoriem. Latvijas Nacionālā bibliotēka aicina ikvienu gan Latvijā, gan diasporā atzīmēt 500 gadus, kopš ir iespiesta pirmā grāmata latviešu valodā. Pasākums notiks klātienē LNB, tiešraide no LNB būs skatāma 100 Latvijas bibliotēkās, kā arī diasporas kopienās. Vairāk nekā 30 vietās tiešraidi papildinās īpaši klātienes notikumi. Ar pasākuma programmu var iepazīties šeit. Kultūras rondo sarunājamies ar Latvijas Nacionālās bibliotēkas (LNB) direktori Dagniju Baltiņu, kā Latvijas Nacionālās bibliotēkas  Bērnu bibliotēkas direktoru un Skaļās lasīšanas uzvarētāju Robertu Gāži no Igauņu pamatskolas Rīgā. Notikuma “Cauri tumsai ar grāmatu” režisors un tiešraides moderators Reinis Suhanovs iepazīstina ar gaidāmajiem notikumiem Ziedoņa zālē, kas saistīti gan ar lasīšanu, gan rakstīšanu. Daudzpusīgais kultūras antropologs, Filadelfijas Brīvo Latvju biedrības pārstāvis Pēteris Dajevskis iepazīstina ar Karšu lasītavā gaidāmo „Novadpētnieku launagu”. Režisors Jānis Znotiņš un aktieris Emīls Krūmiņš aicina uz “Jauno grāmatnieku izstādi”, kurā varēs skatīt akcijā “Mana grāmata” bērnu radītās grāmatas no dažādām Latvijas vietām un arī diasporas. LNB norisināsies arī alternatīvajai lasīšanai veltīta programma “Pagrabs”. Alternatīvā lasīšana parāda, ka teksts ir dzīvotspējīgs ārpus grāmatas – kā pašizpausmes akts vai kolektīvs žests, tetovējums uz ādas, grafiti pilsētvidē vai ieraksts dienasgrāmatas lappusēs. Plašāk stāsta LNB Pētniecības un interpretācijas centra projekta vadītāja un kuratore Ineta Vaivode un LNB muzejpedagoģe Anita Smeltere. Rakstnieks Svens Kuzmins pa LNB pārvietojas kopā ar pārvietojamo skaļruni un informē par gaidāmajiem notikumiem. Viņš ir "mobilais šveicars", kuru varēs sastapt visos ēkas stāvos. Ar Svenu Kuzminu runājam arī par to, vai viņš pieļauj, ka paša rakstīto grāmatu izdod tikai digitāli. Bet būs arī „Digitālās vakariņas”, kurā runās par to, kā lasīšana izpaužas digitālajā laikmetā? Kāda būs grāmata nākotnē? Sarunājamies ar LNB digitālās pētniecības pakalpojumu vadītāju Andu Baklāni. Uzklausām Rīgas 45. vidusskolas skolēnus, kuri dalās pirmajos iespados par pasākumu. Režisors Lauris Gundars, kurš ir arī rakstnieks, bet šodienas pasākumā arī tēlos rakstnieku. Performacē “Rakstītājs. Grāmata. Lasītājs” viņš aicinās tikties ar citiem rakstniekiem. Kopa ar grāmtniecības vēsturnieku, Latvijas Nacionālas bibliotēkas vadošo pētnieku Paulu Daiju atminamies, kā tapa raidījumu cikls Latvijas Radio „Grāmatai pa pēdām”. Viņš arī atgādina, ka platformā „Manabalss.lv” var parakstīt „Rīgas manifestu”, kas aicina lasīt un saglabāt zināšanas nākotnei.

„Jų patriarchas Kirilas Gundiajevas ir dvasininkija kalba apie ukrainiečių, „gėjų europiečių“, nuodėmes, bet nekalba apie savąsias... Tai gėdingiausias karas žmonijos istorijoje. Jis paremtas ir Bažnyčios, ir valstybės propaganda, pagal kurią pagrindiniai oficialiosios Rusijos priešai yra kolektyviniai Vakarai, nes ten yra homoseksualai. Jei darysime nuolaidų, jie primes homoseksualias santuokas. Tai girtos tarpuvartės lygio propaganda, o tai ne mažiau gėdinga nei karo nusikaltimai. Tai sąmoninga neapykanta, su kuria rusams pumpuojamas mitas“.

Jordi Ignasi Vidal diu que “no té sentit que l’equip de govern de la Paeria votes en contra d’una moció que demanava millores en l’entorn del IES Almatà”. Des de ERC Balaguer Vidal també ha reiterat la seva sorpresa per l’anunci que la cessió d’un immoble de la plaça Ollé Pinell a l’Associació Reintegra, es retirés per “manca de suport polític”.

Lenkijoje drastiškai sumažėjo visuomenės pasitikėjimas Bažnyčia ir Mišių dalyvių skaičius.Rusijos ortoksų metropolitas Hilarionas veikė kaip tarpininkas tarp Maskvos ir Vengrijos politikos viršūnių.Naujoje Paulo Elie'io knygoje „Paskutinė vakarienė“ atgyja 1980-ųjų istorijos apie menininkus ir pramogų pasaulio atstovus, kurie audringus ir emocingus santykius su savo religiniais įsitikinimais perkėlė į meno kūrinius, dažnai sulaukdavusius kontroversiškų reakcijų. Dėmesio centre yra tai, ką autorius vadina „kripto-religingumu“, kuris reiškėsi popmuzikoje, vaizduojamajame mene ir literatūroje. Jis tai apibrėžia kaip „kūrinį, kuriame esama religinių žodžių, vaizdų ir motyvų, bet kuris išreiškia kažką kita nei tradicinis tikėjimas“. Autorius siekia papasakoti istoriją menininkų akimis. „To meto spaudoje, rašančioje apie kultūrinius karus, dažniausiai figūruodavo evangelistai ir politikais, bet ne menininkai.

El ple de la Paeria de Balaguer ha donat llum verda a l’aprovació inicial del Pla de Millora Urbana de l’entorn dels Països Catalans, que preveu la construcció d’una superfície comercial de 2.550 metres quadrats al costat de la variant.

A fragile ceasefire in Gaza, the collapse of a UK spy trial, and a damning new report on China's exploitation of U.S. defense research—Chris and Matt unpack a pivotal few weeks in global politics and intelligence. They assess the Trump-brokered truce between Israel and Hamas, the role of Jared Kushner, Qatar, and Tony Blair in the deal, and why Netanyahu's legal troubles could upend it all. In London, they break down how a high-profile Chinese espionage case unraveled, exposing gaps in the Official Secrets Act and Britain's uneasy relationship with Beijing. And in Washington, Matt digs into a new Congressional report on U.S. taxpayer-funded defense research benefiting the PLA—from hypersonics, quantum computing, and AI—and the bipartisan effort to close those loopholes.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, John Culver argues that two seemingly contradictory trends define China's military this year: Xi Jinping's sweeping purge of senior PLA leaders and the PLA's rapid transformation into a far more lethal, joint-capable force. He notes unprecedented vacancies on the Central Military Commission and across theater commands—suggesting corruption is the excuse, not the cause—as Xi prioritizes loyalty and faster progress toward his ambitious reform goals. While 2027 isn't an “invasion deadline,” Culver says the PLA is racing to meet its centennial benchmarks, with September's parade showcasing a growing nuclear triad, serious investments in undersea warfare, and expanding unmanned aircraft. He cautions that any U.S.-created “hellscape” around Taiwan can be mirrored by China, which can produce equipment that is combat relevant in the Western Pacific at industrial scale. On gray-zone pressure, he casts China's Coast Guard as a paramilitary tool and says its ability to run a sustained blockade would hinge on complex command-and-control that it hasn't yet demonstrated in military exercises. Ultimately, Culver emphasizes that there is much about the PLA that remains unknown from the outside as Xi Jinping purposely keeps information opaque. This episode was recorded on October 15, 2025. John Culver is a nonresident senior fellow in the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings. Prior to retiring from the Central Intelligence Agency in 2020, he served since 1985 as an analyst and manager on China, with a particular focus on the People's Liberation Army. From 2015 to 2018, Culver served as national intelligence officer for East Asia (NIO-EA). He was a founding member of the CIA's Senior Analytic Service, was in the Senior Intelligence Service, and was a recipient of the CIA's Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal, and the William L. Langer Award for extraordinary achievement in the CIA's analytic mission.

Liaupsės už paskelbtą nepriklausomybę greitai paskendo diktatorinio stoto Józefo Piłsudskio šešėlyje, kuris ypač išvešėjo maršalo gyvenimo saulėlydyje. Paskutiniame trilogijos epizode kalbamės apie iš marionečių ir fanatikų sulipdytą Lenkijos valdžią, kur atbula ranka surašyta konstitucija ir dažniau nei meilužės keičiami premjerai jauną valstybę lėtai, bet labai stabiliai vedė prie neišvengiamos pražūties. Moraliniu tautos gydymu prisidengusi vienvaldė anti partija, koncentracijos stovyklos, lazdomis uždaužyti žurnalistai ir vado kultas, kuriuo labiausiai įtikėjęs buvo pats Piłsudskis. Jaučiate déjà vu? Kuo panašūs abu Józefai? Į ką iš tikrųjų taikėsi Lenkijos prezidento Gabrieliaus Narutavičiaus žudikas? Ką per spiritizmo seansą išsikvietė Piłsudskis? Ir kokį Józefo pajuokavimą Piłsudčikai priėmė taip rimtai, kad net įsivėlė į brolžudystę?

PLA Dissent Rumors and General Zhang Youxia's Loyalty Strategy. John Batchelor and General Blaine Holt discuss the rumor mill regarding the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and potential dissent against Xi Jinping. Specifically, rumors suggest General Zhang Youxia, a top uniformed PLA leader, is unhappy with changes in the country's direction. Holt notes that this information is currently under the "fog of diplomacy, fog of war." However, based on his research, Zhang Youxia has successfully ensured commanders of elite units, including the 82nd around Beijing, are loyal to the PLA itself, rather than solely the Chinese Communist Party. This strategy has helped stabilize the military situation. Holt suggests that average Chinese soldiers facing economic issues might see a morale boost if they believe their top general could lead efforts to "right the ship." 1906 PEKING

Jon Czin spent years as a top China analyst at the CIA, served as China Director on Biden's National Security Council, and now works at the Brookings Institution. We discuss what Xi's fourth-term means for China's top leadership and military, Taiwan, and the US. We cover: How Xi's mafioso-style “decapitation strategy” has kept the PLA in line and why he's purged more generals than Mao. Cognitive decline and how end-of-life thinking might be shaping Xi's succession plans and Taiwan strategy. Tariffs, rare earths, and China's appetite for pain vs. America's. Beijing's parochialism and its limits in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. What intelligence work on China actually looks like and whether or not Xi's era is duller than previous generations. Plus: who might succeed Xi, comparing the Politburo Standing Committee to a frat house, and why chips and TSMC matter much less in Xi's Taiwan calculus than most think.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with questions surrounding the Fourth Plenum as it continues in Beijing this week. Topics include: The Party's messaging on past successes, a timeline for policy announcements in the days and weeks to come, steps the Party may take to address consumption with its next Five-Year Plan, and the full spectrum of possibilities surrounding Xi and his succession plans. From there: Reactions to the news of PLA purges that became official last week, including why some explanatory theories make more sense than others and why the upheaval is not necessarily a positive signal for Taiwan. At the end: More notes on the trade war with the U.S., the plot thickens with Nexperia and the Netherlands, a new website for Andrew's writing, and an update on Yang Hansen in Portland.

In this week's episode of China Insider, Miles Yu reviews the recent mass-purge of nine high-level PLA military officials and Politburo members, and the impact of Xi Jinping's continued military centralization on the PLA's warfighting capabilities. Next, Miles details the life and career of Nobel Prize winning physicist, Dr. Chen Ning Yang, and the formative role he played in support of the CCP's United Front strategy. Finally, Miles covers the latest dialogue following China's announced export controls for rare earth minerals, and responds to criticisms related to the important role of hawkish rhetoric in the US-China strategic competition landscape. China Insider is a weekly podcast project from Hudson Institute's China Center, hosted by China Center Director and Senior Fellow, Dr. Miles Yu, who provides weekly news that mainstream American outlets often miss, as well as in-depth commentary and analysis on the China challenge and the free world's future.

Pēdējos rītos sals ir bijis tikpat kā visā Latvijā un noslēdzas pat pašu vēlāko lauksaimniecības kultūru ražas novākšana, tāpēc atskats uz to, kā laikapstākļi ietekmēja šī gada ražu. Kopumā var teikt, ka šis ir bijis neražas gads, bet ne visiem. Pat šajā slapjajā un vēsajā vasarā ir bijuši zemnieki, kam raža bijusi lieliska. Centrālajā statistikas pārvaldē jau ir zināmi vairāku nozaru ražas dati un tie ir pārsteidzoši. Piemēram, agronomijas speciālisti atklāj, ka ziemas kviešu raža Latvijā šogad ir rekordliela. Un tas īsti nesader ar vasarā piedzīvoto un redzēto, kas notika laukos. Ziemas kvieši, kas visvairāk audzētā labība Latvijā, šogad ievākti rekordlielā daudzumā -nepilni 2,3 miljoni tonnu. Pēdējo piecu gadu laikā tā bijusi pārsvara 2 - 2,2 miljonu tonnu, bet pirms 2019. gada Latvijā labas ražas bija ap 1,5-1,7 miljoni tonnu. It kā šķiet, ka tas nesaskan ar realitāti - vasarā lauki bija ūdenī, zemnieki izmisumā, bet raža 2,3 miljoni tonnu. Izrādās, svarīgi ir vairāki apstākļi. Pirmkārt, lai arī ražas apjoms ir liels, tas nenozīmē zemniekiem arī labus ieņēmumus, jo graudus nevarēs pārdot kā pārtikas kvalitātes graudus, jo tos nācās novākt ļoti slapjus un graudu kaltēšana prasa milzīgas izmaksas. Rezultātā rekordraža nensīs lielu peļņu, bet atsevišķām saimniecībām, īpaši Latvijas austrumu daļā, ko lietavas skāra visvairāk, ir gājis pavisam švaki. Tāpēc precīzāk laikam būtu teikt, ka šogad bijusi nevis laba, bet liela raža. Plašāk stāsta Latvijas Lauku konsultāciju un izglītības centra eksperts Andris Skudra. Izrādās, ka lielās ražas galvenais iemesls ir izcilai apstākļi pērn rudenī, kad ziemājus sēj un tie dīgst.  Un ziemāji nav vienīgie, kam ražas apjomu lielā mērā nosaka iepriekšējais rudens. Bet graudu stāstā skumjākais ir tas, ka pagājušais rudens bija tik izcils un ziema tik piemērota, ka zemnieki vēl pavasarī gatavojās, ka šis varētu būt ne vien rekordražas gads, ar vēl būtiskāk lielāku kopražu un ievērojami labāku kvalitāti pat tad, ja vasara nebūtu izcila. Pietiktu, ja tā būtu bijusi kaut viduvēja, bet ne šāda - viena no gadsimta slapjākajām.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the “No Kings” protests against President Trump, rising ties between Marxists and Islamists in U.S. politics, the arrest of a Hamas-linked illegal in Louisiana, new calls for deportations of radicalized citizens, and global updates from Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, China, and Australia.   “No Kings” Protests Fall Flat: Millions were expected at anti-Trump demonstrations over the weekend, but turnout reached only one to five percent of Kamala Harris voters. Democrats Abroad rebranded their rallies as “No Tyrants” to avoid offending actual monarchs in Commonwealth nations. Bryan says, “Democrats want no kings — except the real ones.”   Radical Islamist Runs for NYC Mayor: Ugandan-born Marxist Zohran Mamdani appeared at protests alongside Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a former unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Wahhaj has preached jihad abroad and called for an Islamic nation in America through political activism. Bryan cites the UAE's foreign minister warning that “Western naïveté about radical Islam will destroy us.”   Hamas Terrorist Arrested in Louisiana: An illegal immigrant from Gaza, Mahmoud al-Muhtadi, who joined the October 7th Hamas attacks, was living in the U.S. as a Biden-approved resident. ICE also arrested a Texas man offering bounties to kill agents, and a Michigan mayor defended naming a street after a Hamas sympathizer. Bryan warns, “These are the people we've let in — and they want to destroy this country.”   DHS Embraces “Re-Migration” Policy: The Department of Homeland Security announced plans to strip citizenship from naturalized extremists, arguing that fraudulent applications and post-naturalization crimes justify “de-naturalization and return.” Critics call it racist; Bryan calls it overdue.   Trump's Expanding War on Narco-Terror: The U.S. Navy sank another cartel vessel near Venezuela, killing three Marxist rebels linked to Colombia's ELN. Colombian President Gustavo Petro — himself a former terrorist — protested the strike, but Trump said Petro “doesn't want to mess with the United States.” Senator Rand Paul demanded congressional oversight, sparking debate over executive war powers.   China's Internal Purge and the Mineral Wars: President Xi Jinping removed nine generals in the largest purge since Mao, signaling espionage and internal fractures. Meanwhile, Trump meets Australia's Prime Minister Albanese at the White House today to announce joint investments in rare earth minerals and new Pacific supply chains.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: No Kings protest turnout, Zohran Mamdani Imam Siraj Wahhaj jihad, Hamas terrorist Louisiana arrest, DHS remigration denaturalization policy, Trump narco-terror Venezuela Colombia ELN, Rand Paul war powers debate, Xi Jinping purge PLA generals, Trump Australia rare earth partnership

Jon Czin spent years as a top China analyst at the CIA, served as China Director on Biden's National Security Council, and now works at the Brookings Institution. We discuss what Xi's fourth-term means for China's top leadership and military, Taiwan, and the US. We cover: How Xi's mafioso-style “decapitation strategy” has kept the PLA in line and why he's purged more generals than Mao. Cognitive decline and how end-of-life thinking might be shaping Xi's succession plans and Taiwan strategy. Tariffs, rare earths, and China's appetite for pain vs. America's. Beijing's parochialism and its limits in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. What intelligence work on China actually looks like and whether or not Xi's era is duller than previous generations. Plus: who might succeed Xi, comparing the Politburo Standing Committee to a frat house, and why chips and TSMC matter much less in Xi's Taiwan calculus than most think.

more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2025-10-12-22-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: Martí passejava pel Barri Gòtic de Barcelona, observant les ombres que ballaven sobre les parets antigues amb la llum vacil·lant dels fanals.En: Martí was wandering through the Barri Gòtic of Barcelona, observing the shadows dancing over the ancient walls with the flickering light of the street lamps.Ca: La Mercè estava en plena celebració, i la ciutat resplendia de música i alegria.En: La Mercè was in full celebration, and the city was glowing with music and joy.Ca: Però Martí tenia una cosa més important al cap: el misteri d'un quadre desaparegut d'una galeria local.En: But Martí had something more important on his mind: the mystery of a missing painting from a local gallery.Ca: Es tractava d'un quadre famós, "El Somni de Barcelona", que havia desaparegut sobtadament.En: It was a famous painting, "The Dream of Barcelona," that had suddenly disappeared.Ca: Molts havien intentat esbrinar què havia passat, però sense èxit.En: Many had tried to find out what had happened, but without success.Ca: Martí desitjava ser el primer a descobrir la veritat i guanyar així la seva reputació com a jove historiador de l'art.En: Martí wished to be the first to discover the truth and thus earn his reputation as a young art historian.Ca: Júlia, una guia turística coneguda per les seves vivències captivadores, va trobar Martí al carrer del Bisbe, envoltada per una petita multitud que escoltava les seves històries sobre els fantasmes de Barcelona.En: Júlia, a tour guide known for her captivating experiences, found Martí on carrer del Bisbe, surrounded by a small crowd listening to her stories about the ghosts of Barcelona.Ca: Quan va acabar el seu tour, Martí es va apropar a ella.En: When she finished her tour, Martí approached her.Ca: —Júlia, necessito la teva ajuda.En: "Júlia, I need your help.Ca: He vist que coneixes aquests carrers millor que ningú a la ciutat.En: I've seen that you know these streets better than anyone in the city.Ca: Podries ajudar-me a trobar el quadre desaparegut?En: Could you help me find the missing painting?"Ca: Júlia va acceptar encantada.En: Júlia accepted eagerly.Ca: Junts, es van endinsar en els carrers enlluernadors del Barri Gòtic, esquivant les rambles de gent que gaudia de la festa.En: Together, they ventured into the dazzling streets of the Barri Gòtic, dodging the crowds of people enjoying the festival.Ca: La seva primera pista els va portar a un petit cafè de la Plaça Reial, on es rumorejava que uns individus estranys havien parlat sobre "El Somni de Barcelona".En: Their first clue led them to a small café in Plaça Reial, where it was rumored that some strange individuals had talked about "The Dream of Barcelona."Ca: Durant la investigació, van descobrir un passadís amagat darrere una prestatgeria de llibres antics a una llibreria dels carrerons més estrets.En: During the investigation, they discovered a hidden passage behind a bookshelf of old books in a bookstore in the narrowest alleyways.Ca: Les parets humides d'aquest passadís els van portar a les profunditats del barri, on van trobar senyals d'activitat clandestina.En: The damp walls of this passage led them into the depths of the neighborhood, where they found signs of clandestine activity.Ca: Martí i Júlia van intuir la presència d'un sindicat de l'art local, dedicat al tràfic il·legal de peces valuoses.En: Martí and Júlia sensed the presence of a local art syndicate dedicated to the illegal trafficking of valuable pieces.Ca: Amb poc temps, van planejar un rescat agosarat: aprofitarien les distraccions de la nit més animada de La Mercè per recuperar el quadre.En: In no time, they planned a daring rescue: they would take advantage of the distractions of the most lively night of La Mercè to recover the painting.Ca: Finalment, enmig del so festiu dels castells de foc i la processó gegant, Martí i Júlia van aconseguir entrar a l'ocult despatx del sindicat.En: Finally, amidst the festive sounds of fireworks and the giant procession, Martí and Júlia managed to enter the hidden office of the syndicate.Ca: Allà, embolicat en tela fosca, "El Somni de Barcelona" els esperava.En: There, wrapped in dark cloth, "The Dream of Barcelona" was waiting for them.Ca: Amb el cor bategant amb força, van fugir sigil·losament, integrant-se entre la multitud feliç de celebrants.En: With hearts pounding, they fled stealthily, blending into the happy crowd of celebrants.Ca: L'endemà, la galeria va recuperar el seu tresor, i Martí i Júlia van rebre agraïments plens d'elogis.En: The next day, the gallery recovered its treasure, and Martí and Júlia received grateful thanks full of praise.Ca: Martí, abraçant el seu somni de ser un historiador reconegut, va entendre el valor de la cooperació.En: Martí, embracing his dream of becoming a recognized historian, understood the value of cooperation.Ca: I Júlia, amb noves inspiracions per a les seves rutes, va veure ampliat el seu ventall de narracions.En: And Júlia, with new inspirations for her tours, saw her array of narratives expanded.Ca: Tots dos sabien que, en aquell barri antic, el misteri i l'aventura sempre estaven a la volta de la cantonada.En: Both knew that, in that ancient neighborhood, mystery and adventure were always just around the corner.

Ir situācijas, kad laicīga diagnostika un efektīva ārstēšana vistiešākajā veidā nozīmē iespēju gan elpot, gan dzīvot. Tā ir arī plaušu fibrozes gadījumos. Kāpēc ir tik svarīgi slimību pamanīt laikus, skaidrojam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Plašāk stāsta P.Stradiņa klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas Plaušu slimību un torakālās ķirurģijas centra vadītāja p.i., pneimonoloģe, RSU pasniedzēja Zaiga Kravale, P.Stradiņa Klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas radioloģe Ilze Priedīte un Ģimenes ārstu asociācijas pārstāvis Ainis Dzalbs. Kas izraisa plaušu fibrozi? Zaiga Kravale skaidro, ka klasisks riska faktors ir smēķēšana, virkne reimatoloģisku slimību, bet jāņem vērā, ka simptomi ir nespecifiski - pakāpeniski progresējošs elpas trūkums un sauss klepus. Ārste arī atgādina, ka nevaram uztvert elpas trūkumu kā normālu nevienā vecumā. Ilze Priedīte min, ka cilvēkiem parasti, domājot par plaušu diagnostiku, pirmais prātā nāk rentgens. Bet šīs ir slimību grupa, kurai rentgens nederēs, lai konstatētu izmaiņas. Svarīgākā diagnostikas metode ir datortomogrāfija, kur iegūst attēlu, kurā ārsti skaidri redz plaušu bojājumu veidu.

In this episode of The China Desk Podcast, host Steve Yates sits down with veteran intelligence officer and author Nick Eftimiades to explore the tactics behind Chinese espionage. Drawing on decades of experience at the CIA, DIA, and State Department, Eftimiades explains how Beijing uses a “whole-of-society” approach—spanning the Ministry of State Security, PLA, United Front, state-owned enterprises, and academia—to gather intelligence and influence U.S. policy. He discusses the evolution of Chinese spy craft from the Cold War to Xi Jinping's era, the Thousand Talents Program, elite capture, and the massive transfer of American intellectual property. The conversation closes with urgent steps the U.S. must take to counter China's operations at the federal, state, and local levels. Watch Full-Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@ChinaDeskFNW

This Episodes Questions: Hi guys, enjoy the show.  I'm new to 3D printing having purchased a Bambu A1 earlier this year. I've recently begun tackling DIY projects that require long print times, so I'm considering adding a second printer to use while my A1 is busy. Initially, I planned to buy another A1, but I'm now thinking about getting a different model to broaden my 3D printing capabilities. So far, I've only worked with PLA and PETG, but I'm open to exploring other materials as I learn more. My budget is capped at $500. What printer would you recommend to complement my A1 and expand my options? Thanks for your suggestions! Mike S.   Hi,  Does the external temperature( household)along with the printer fans, both part fan and auxiliary potentially conflict to create issues with the MC board overheating, filament issues when printing and/or anything else? Can I use a temp controlled enclosure to prevent conflict in maintain temps or will the P1S suffice for this purpose? Thanks for this podcast.  Once again,  Rosemarie

We're coming to you, just a few weeks before Zac's wedding, and we're not stressed at all... mostly. We dive into the world of 3D printing, sharing some great tips we've learned and why some of us are ditching PLA filament. Eric also gives us his unfiltered thoughts on jigsaw blades after putting a bunch of them to the test. Plus, we're talking about the ridiculous product naming conventions in the tool industry and why we think a high-quality hand tool is always worth it, especially if it's been properly sharpened (which is harder than it looks!).Got a question that you want us to answer?

    CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE 1957 9-15-25 GOOD EVENING.  THE SHOW BEGINS IN TROUBLED AMERICA... FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Global Allies Worry About US Division, Adversaries Exploit Weakness GUEST AND TITLE: Ambassador Husain Haqqani, Hudson Institute Director of Eurasia Project; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies SUMMARY: Ambassador Husain Haqqani states US allies are "very worried" by American internal division and extreme rhetoric, unlike past unity. Bill Roggio notes similar European issues, but the US now seems to lead in domestic disorder. Adversaries like China, Russia, and Islamist extremists exploit this polarization, using social media manipulation and citing Western decline. Both emphasize leaders must reduce aggressive rhetoric, promote bipartisan cooperation, and control social media to heal divisions, advocating for unity to counter external exploitation and domestic radicalization. 915-930 HEADLINE: Global Allies Worry About US Division, Adversaries Exploit Weakness GUEST AND TITLE: Ambassador Husain Haqqani, Hudson Institute Director of Eurasia Project; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies 930-945 HEADLINE: Political Crises Deepen in Brazil and Venezuela Amidst US Pressure GUEST AND TITLE: Alejandro Peña Esclusa, Venezuelan writer and thinker; Ernesto Araújo, former Foreign Minister of the Republic of Brazil SUMMARY: Ernesto Araújo discusses former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's conviction for an alleged assassination plot, calling it a "show trial" despite a dissenting judge's opinion. He notes Bolsonaro's failed anti-system movement. Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports a US military buildup near Venezuela, fostering internal military discussions about turning in Maduro. Both believe their countries' fates are linked; Venezuela's liberation could expose a crime network, potentially delegitimizing Lula's regime and fostering broader Latin American freedom 945-1000 HEADLINE: Political Crises Deepen in Brazil and Venezuela Amidst US Pressure GUEST AND TITLE: Alejandro Peña Esclusa, Venezuelan writer and thinker; Ernesto Araújo, former Foreign Minister of the Republic of Brazil SUMMARY: Ernesto Araújo discusses former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's conviction for an alleged assassination plot, calling it a "show trial" despite a dissenting judge's opinion.

Israel responded with strikes on Houthi military and media infrastructure in Sana'a, causing civilian casualties. US Treasury sanctioned 32 Houthi-affiliated individuals/entities for supporting Iranian-backed smuggling networks. Toomey confirms Iran absolutely provides weapons, mostly via ship routes, despite interdiction efforts. She notes Houthis are undeterred, fueled by past attacks, and will likely continue unless Iran is held accountable. Bill Roggio critiques a recent, unsuccessful Israeli strike in Doha. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: Houthis Remain Undeterred Despite Israeli Strikes and US Sanctions GUEST AND TITLE: Bridget Toomey, Foundation for Defense of Democracies Houthi Watcher; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies SUMMARY: Bridget Toomey reports Houthis continue daily drone and missile launches towards Israel, with Israeli Iron Dome defenses proving effective.

Tan claims Yoon aligns with the Chinese Communist Party and North Korea, dismantling counterintelligence and attending parades with Putin and Kim Jong-un. He reports Chinese nationals, pro-Yoon, illegally voted, and a third of South Korean police are reportedly CCP operatives. Yoon'sapproval is low, with most Koreans distrusting the CCP and prioritizing the US alliance. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: China's Advanced Weapon Systems and Global Asteroid Defense Ambitions GUEST AND TITLE: Rick Fisher, Senior Fellow, International Assessment and Strategy Center; Gordon Chang, author and geopolitical analyst SUMMARY: Rick Fisher discusses China's new DF-26D ballistic missile, capable of intercepting aircraft carriers up to 4,000 km, and other advanced unmanned weapon systems surpassing US capabilities.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: Ukraine Advances in Sumy, NATO Urged to Boost Russia Sanctions GUEST AND TITLE: John Hardie, Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of DemocraciesSUMMARY: John Hardie discusses Ukrainian advances in the Sumy border area, noting Russia has redeployed better units to other regions like Donetsk, focusing on areas near Pokrovsk. He suggests Ukraine's counterattacks are part of an active defense, and their focus on Pokrovsk is strategically sound despite manpower shortages. Hardie highlights recent massive Russian drone barrages, including one into Poland, as a "wake-up call" for NATO to improve cost-effective air defenses. He advocates for stronger US secondary sanctions on Russian oil revenue and untying Ukraine's hands for long-range strikes. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: Ukraine Advances in Sumy, NATO Urged to Boost Russia Sanctions GUEST AND TITLE: John Hardie, Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies130-1145 HEADLINE: MIT Professor Explains the Discovery of Ionic Liquid, Expanding Search for Extraterrestrial Life GUEST AND TITLE: Professor Sara Seager, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; David Livingston, Dr. Space of the Space Show SUMMARY: Professor Sara Seager discusses the accidental lab discovery of ionic liquids, a non-evaporating liquid salt potentially sustaining life on planets without water, expanding the traditional "habitable zone" concept. She envisions future missions like a Solar Gravitational Lens Telescope. For her lifetime, Professor Seager prioritizes privately funded "Morning Star missions" to Venus, beginning with Rocket Lab in 2026, to directly study its cloud particles for signs of life in this overlooked sister planet.1145-1200 HEADLINE: MIT Professor Explains the Discovery of Ionic Liquid, Expanding Search for Extraterrestrial Life GUEST AND TITLE: Professor Sara Seager, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; David Livingston, Dr. Space of the Space Show SUMMARY: Professor Sara Seager discusses the accidental lab discovery of ionic liquids, a non-evaporating liquid salt potentially sustaining life on planets without water, expanding the traditional "habitable zone" concept.

Despite the failure, she believes Israel's defense capabilities and past decapitation efforts were incredible, fostering public resolve against terrorism. Kissel notes Qatar's role as a money-laundering center and host of terror groups, despite its strategic importance to the US. She emphasizes that Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, remains defiant regarding its nuclear and missile programs, posing an ongoing challenge for Israel and the US.1215-1230 Guest Names: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio Summary: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio discuss Al-Sharaa, the self-named president of Syria, who was appointed by militia leaders. His loyalist-drafted constitution grants him extensive powers, with key ministries held by former HTScommanders, and minority representatives serving as mere tokens. Formal Name: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Genocide Allegations Against Israel Debunked by Expert Analysis GUEST AND TITLE: Peter Berkowitz, Tad and Diane Taube Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution at Stanford University SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz debunks genocide allegations against Israel, emphasizing the UN definition requires intent to destroy a group. He questions the credibility of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. Berkowitz highlights the absurdity, noting the Palestinian population tripled since the 1980s despite such claims. He attributes propaganda success to Hamas's use of human shields, shifting responsibility for civilian casualties. A comprehensive report systematically refutes claims of deliberate starvation, civilian targeting, and infrastructure bombing, demonstrating Israel's precautions.1245-100 AM HEADLINE: Genocide Allegations Against Israel Debunked by Expert Analysis GUEST AND TITLE: Peter Berkowitz, Tad and Diane Taube Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution at Stanford University SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz debunks genocide allegations against Israel, emphasizing the UN definition require

BOOK TITLE: The Decisive Decade: American Grand Strategy for Triumph over China AUTHOR: Jonathan DT Ward HEADLINE: Taiwan: The 'Lock on the Island Chain' and a Key to China's Regional Dominance   China's military analysts view Taiwan as the "lock on the island chain," crucial for projecting power into the Western Pacific and throughout Asia's maritime geography. Seizing Taiwan would permanently alter Asia's military balance and enable China to exert significant power, potentially even creating famine in the Japanese islands. Taiwan also represents economic leverage due to its role in semiconductor production and holds ideological significance for Xi Jinping. 1950 PEKING STUDENTS, PLA
