It's no secret that Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have been doing everything they can to damage and degrade the Department of Justice, and to destroy the DOJ's legitimacy in the eyes of the American people. Even beyond that, the Trump administration has been determined to put federal employees "in trauma." Indeed, those are the words of the person Trump picked to be his OMB Director, Russell Vought. Fortunately, there is an organization fighting against the destruction of the Department of Justice and the mistreatment of DOJ employees. That organization is Justice Connection.The Mission of Justice Connection:"Justice Connection is a network of DOJ alumni who are standing up for the rule of law and protecting our former colleagues who've been targeted by this administration.We're providing current and recent DOJ employees with direct and free support, including:Legal representation through the Justice Connection Legal NetworkMental health assistanceWhistleblowing supportMedia training and other help for alumni who want to join us in speaking out Justice Connection has also become the leading voice delivering the message that the assault on the DOJ makes Americans more vulnerable to violent crime, corruption, climate change, civil rights violations, and terrorism – while eroding the foundation of our democracy."Glenn sat down with the founder of Justice Connection, Stacey Young, for a deep-dive discussion about the vitally important and timely work of her organization.

Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and reportedly wanting to discuss surrender conditions with President Trump, though his exit is complicated by his ally Diosdado Cabello, who heads operations for the Cartel of the Suns and has no path for redemption, while Maduro's potential fall would deliver a severe blow to the organized crime and drug trafficking networks that permeate South America's political structures, with the opposition, led by María Corina Machado, having transition plans, and Brazilian President Lula neutralized from strongly opposing US actions due to ongoing tariff negotiations with Trump, as the conversation highlighted a new conservative political wave in Latin America, with optimism reported in Argentina following elections that strengthened Javier Milei, and in Chile, where conservative José Antonio Kast is strongly positioned, representing a blend of economic freedom, anti-organized crime platforms, and conservative values. 1950

The Trump administration has delivered significant achievements on border security, energy production, crime reduction, and foreign policy in its first 10 months, but several overlooked issues could become serious vulnerabilities if not addressed before the midterms.   Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the major political challenges that could quietly undermine the Trump administration's momentum heading into 2026 and why the administration must shift its public messaging toward the economy on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”   “ Donald Trump has naturally talked about achieving peace with Ethiopia and Egypt, or Pakistan or India, or what we accomplish by taking out the nuclear facilities in Iran, etc. But the elections are not won on foreign policy, unfortunately, or maybe fortunate. They're won on economics. And the Left, in that vacuum, and that lack of praise for the accomplishments of the Trump administration on energy, on GDP, on the stock market, on deregulation, on tax reform, and what will happen in 2026 when, I think, foreign investment and these new technologies will help, in addition, spur the economy and relieve our worries about inflation and affordability—we have to talk about that. Specifically, he has to talk about the comparison of the Biden administration with both his first term, but more importantly, with what he's done the first 10 to 11 months, and what will ensue in 2026 for the things he's doing now.”   00:00 Introduction 00:58 Achievements and Comparisons 04:20 HB-1 Visas Controversy 05:50 Final Thoughts    

Geopolitics are no longer a tailwind for businesses today, opening markets and boosting global trade. Instead, argues ESSEC Business School associate professor Srividya Jandhyala, rising national security concerns and protectionist economic policies have created a headwind for many organizations, and that's changing how executives need to operate. She explains what's changed in the global balance of power, how it's affecting even small to medium-sized companies and unexpected industries —from shrimp farming to fast fashion -- and why leaders need new talent and risk management strategies to adapt. Jandhyala is the author of the book The Great Disruption.

From Jeffrey Epstein's secret networks to the manipulation of political power, this episode dives deep into the tangled web of corruption, cover-ups, and self-inflicted political wounds. We explore newly revealed emails involving Epstein, the role of high-profile politicians like Larry Summers and Stacey Plaskett, and the complex decisions surrounding the release of sensitive files. The episode also covers Trump's political calculus, the FBI and DOJ's handling of threats, and the ongoing H-1B visa controversy that impacts American workers. With assassination attempts, terror affiliations, and stonewalled subpoenas exposed, this episode uncovers what the mainstream media won't touch — and why transparency matters now more than ever.

As revelations unfold around Jeffery Epstein's undisclosed connections, we examine the growing political storm threatening major figures on both sides of the aisle. Larry Summers steps back from public life amid emails revealing personal communication with Epstein, while pressure mounts on Donald Trump over unreleased Epstein files — reportedly costing him up to five points in national polling. With Democrats accused of shielding key documents and contradictory involvement from figures like Rep. Stacey Plaskett, this episode uncovers how the most damaging political blows are often self-inflicted. We break down the devastating polling impact, alleged internal blackmail dynamics, judiciary blockades, and why the American public still hasn't seen what's behind the sealed Epstein files. Raw, revealing, and loaded with unanswered questions.

Trump's new strategy to climb aboard the “Release the Epstein Files” bandwagon is already falling apart. As the ranking member on the House oversight committee, Robert Garcia reminds usTrump “has tried everything to kill our Jeffrey Epstein investigation”… “Now [Trump's] panickingi and has realized he is about to lose this Epstein vote to force the Department of Justice to release the files, Let's be crystal clear: Trump has the power to release all the files today,” ... “But instead, he wants to continue this cover-up and launch bogus new investigations to deflect and slow down our investigation. It won't work. We will get justice for the survivors.”We'll examine this with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston. There's a big event coming up on November 22nd in Washington, D.C. .Jessica Denson will stop by to share details about the Remove the Regime rally.

To exist as a black male in America is to be perceived as a threat, where criminality is attributed by default and violence is justified from racial bias. And as a young man, Pastor Mike McBride learned through personal experience that following Jesus does not protect you from the violence of the state. How could it, when Jesus himself was crucified by religious- and state-sponsored violence? In this episode, Pastor Mike (The Way Christian Center, Berkeley, CA) joins Mark Labberton to discuss the confluence of Black Pentecostal holiness, police brutality, gun violence prevention, Christian nationalism, political polarization, racial justice, and the urgent spiritual crisis facing the American church. From his childhood in the San Francisco neighborhood of Bayview–Hunter's Point, to the trauma of a police assault in 1999, to national leadership in Ferguson, to confronting the rise of authoritarian Christianity, Pastor Mike traces the formation of his vocation and the cost of staying faithful to Jesus in a nation shaped by anti-blackness and state-sponsored violence. His story of survival, theological awakening, moral urgency, and hopeful action is rooted in the gospel's call to respond with peaceful action against the violence of the world. Episode Highlights "What is it about this gospel that their family members, their parents trust you with the salvation of their souls, but not the safety of their bodies." "It forced me to really have a strong come to Jesus meeting about how am I being prepared to do what I was already feeling a lifeline calling of ministry while I was starting the work of justice as a first victim and crime survivor." "It is some kind of delusion for us to follow Jesus who got crucified and killed by the state and then be surprised when we get crucified by the state." "I think there was just this sensibility that was a part of our upbringing that this is what it means to be black in America." "People are being discipled into racism. People are being discipled into anti-blackness." "I hope that feeding the hungry clothing the naked healing the sick is not something that in 2025 Christians identify as some leftist socialist liberal Christianity or we've lost it."

A respected activist, pastor, and organizer, he has been a prominent voice in national efforts to address police violence, promote community-based safety strategies, and mobilize churches for racial justice. Pastor Mike is also the founding pastor of The Way Christian Center in Berkeley, California. His leadership, advocacy, and public witness have been featured across major media outlets, integrating faith, justice, and community transformation.

"Our marriages didn't survive that era." Ferguson as exposure of the divide within the American church: respectability politics, sexuality panic, racial division "People are being discipled into racism … into militarism … into economic exploitation." Political polarization and Christian Nationalism 2016–present: Trumpism as a carrier of a broader reactionary Christian political project. Concern for Christian authoritarianism masquerading as religious fidelity. "You should definitely live out your convictions… but that don't mean you should kill everybody else on your hill." Deep grief over the church's inability to discern the danger George Floyd, red lines, and the urgency of now Summer 2020 as national smelling salt: "the banality and the violence of this state."

What do you get when a data scientist with a knack for sports betting and political forecasting returns to the pod? A masterclass in what polling can and can't do, how bad assumptions skew our democracy, and why Carl Allen thinks we need to stop blaming the camera for the race result. In this fascinating, far-ranging convo, Corey and Carl Allen (author of The Polls Weren't Wrong) break down why political polling is misunderstood, how data intersects with integrity, and where we go from here in the 2026 election cycle. They also take a surprising detour into MLB match-fixing, sports betting strategies, and how the “edge of the bell curve” reveals more than most talking heads on TV.

Jeffrey Epstein's name is back in the headlines as Congress releases tens of thousands of pages of “Epstein files.” But what's actually in these documents, what's missing, and how much is being twisted for political gain? Today Todd walks through the new records from the House Oversight Committee, the DOJ, and Epstein's estate, explains the now-viral email mentioning Donald Trump, and clarifies what Virginia Giuffre really testified under oath. We separate justice from retribution, evidence from speculation, and truth from conspiracy-as-entertainment while asking who, if anyone, is serious about the victims and accountability. If you're tired of weaponized narratives and just want an honest look at the Epstein case, this episode is for you.

This weekend, border patrol agents converged on Charlotte, North Carolina, in an attempt to remove illegal immigrants from the city per President Trump's order. DHS is calling it "Operation Charlotte's Web." Local leaders have released statements opposing the Trump administration's actions in the city, and called for protests against the agents. Ron Vitiello, Senior Advisor to Customs and Border Protection, joins the Rundown to explain why this needed to happen in Charlotte to keep its citizens safe. Homeownership feels out of reach for millions of Americans as prices soar and the median first-time buyer age hits historic highs. Howard Husock, American Enterprise Institute senior fellow, joins the Rundown to explain what's driving the crisis, whether ideas like 50-year mortgages or city-level reforms can help, and what it will take to make owning a home attainable again.  Plus, commentary by Guy Benson, host of The Guy Benson Show on Fox News Radio Learn more about your ad choices.

But there are times when the media seems to focus on the bad and give short shrift to the good news stories, the positive legal developments, the points of light.

Princlings, Grassroots, and the Politics of Restoration. Joseph Turigian discusses how Xi Jinping gained entry to Qinghua University based on political reliability rather than merit in 1975, although his father remained un-rehabilitated. While princlings were generally unpopular, Xi Jinping made the atypical choice to climb the ranks from the grassroots. Xi Zhongxun's full rehabilitation was slow and politically sensitive because Mao himself had persecuted him. Xi Jinping served as secretary to a powerful military leader and skillfully used public relations to raise his profile. Xi Jinping married famous singer Peng Liyuan, bonding over their shared suffering during the Cultural Revolution. Guest: Joseph Turigian. 1906

Xi Jinping's Exile and Family Betrayal. Joseph Turigian describes how political torment extended to Xi Zhongxun's family, forcing Xi Jinping's mother to denounce her teenage son when he fled incarceration, a difficult moral judgment made to protect the remaining siblings. During the Cultural Revolution, Xi Jinping was exiled to the countryside near Yanan, a sacred site of Chinese Communist Party history. This mass "sending down" of youth was intended to toughen them up and instill revolutionary spirit, becoming a deeply formative experience for Xi Jinping. Xi Zhongxun spent years in prison writing unanswered, plaintive letters seeking relief and reconsideration from the leadership. Guest: Joseph Turigian. 906 PEKING

Trump is coming to grips with the fact that lawmakers trying to release the Epstein Files have enough votes in the House to make it possible. After fighting to keep the information about Epstein away from public scrutiny, Trump is now reversing course, writing on social media:“We have nothing to hide, and it's time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” Why would Trump change his mind? Did he remember his campaign promise to release the files? Did his people remove any trace of his name? Is there some kind of trick where they release some but not all of the files? Or is it as he says? We will ask author and journalist Sarah Kendzior for her thoughts. Gary Dietrich, iHeart TV and radio political analyst, will swing by to talk politics. Oh, and Mark is back!

A growing rift has emerged within the MAGA movement as frustrations intensify over the administration's handling of the Epstein files and what supporters view as broken promises and deliberate misdirection. Influential MAGA personalities who once championed transparency are now openly attacking their own base, accusing ordinary supporters of disloyalty simply for demanding answers regarding Jeffrey Epstein and the long-promised release of related documents. Critics argue that the movement's leadership is attempting to redirect blame and silence its strongest advocates, branding dissenters as traitors rather than addressing legitimate concerns about accountability and the integrity of the investigation. The backlash has highlighted deepening distrust among former allies and exposed widening fractures that were once concealed beneath slogans and unity-themed messaging.Central to the conflict is former President Donald Trump's escalating public feud with Congressman Thomas Massie and the broader shift from outsider populism to aggressive internal policing. Detractors claim that Trump's continued refusal to release the Epstein files, combined with public attacks on longstanding supporters and allies, signals the decline of what was once a powerful political force. Political observers describe the behavior as characteristic of movements entering collapse: lashing out at internal critics, redefining loyalty tests, and prioritizing personal preservation over promised reforms. Many former supporters now argue that instead of dismantling political corruption, the movement has become indistinguishable from it, with Trump increasingly portrayed not as a reformer, but as a participant in the elite system he vowed to expose.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The government is tinkering with the Clean Car Standard again, saying most importers are unable to meet the targets under the scheme as it currently stands. Last year it watered down the standard to align CO2 emissions standards with Australia - saying that change would strike the right balance between reducing transport emissions and ensuring vehicles would be affordable. But it now says the market has changed and the scheme as a whole will be reviewed. Political reporter Giles Dexter spoke to Lisa Owen.

Is the UK really on the brink of collapse - or are we victims of our own narratives? In this revealing conversation, Dr. Mike Martin, former British Army officer, author of Why We Fight, and now Member of Parliament, breaks down what's really driving Britain's political, social, and moral crisis. From the rise of authoritarian narratives to the weaponization of social media, Mike reveals why our biggest enemy isn't immigration or the economy, it's misinformation. Drawing from his experience on the battlefield and now in Parliament, Mike explains: ⬛ Why migration isn't the crisis we think it is ⬛ How social media and foreign influence are polarizing the West ⬛ Why “the House of Commons is just theatre” ⬛ How the real work of politics happens behind the scenes ⬛ The connection between Ukraine, Gaza, and the global information war ⬛ What gives him hope about Britain's future A candid, no-nonsense conversation that cuts through political noise to uncover the psychology of modern conflict, the truth about migration, and what leadership really looks like. If you want to understand how narratives shape nations, and how to fix a broken system from within, this is a must-listen.

This week, Mike and Laureen dive deep into the recent election of Zohran Mamdani and the immediate, alarming warnings that followed, suggesting this political shift could place New York's Jewish community in danger and on high alert. A special interview with Maor Elbaz-Starinsky, the former Consul General of Israel to Florida, Puerto Rico, Kansas, and Missouri, offers a powerful and sobering perspective on the alarming rise of antisemitism across the US and globally, underscoring the real-world violence fueled by hate. A look at the week's headlines reveals "lies of genocide" being perpetuated through resolutions in Congress; unsettling news of Hamas terrorists reportedly in tunnels on the Israeli side of the "yellow line;" a viral AI-generated image of Miss Israel during the Miss Universe competition causing controversy; and prominent Iranian leaders publicly called for mass protests and urged large military branches to oppose the government and the Supreme Leader.

With the government shutdown now over, the next battle in Congress is healthcare. Rising premiums, questions about extending ACA subsidies, and concerns about access and affordability are all back on the table. Missouri Congressman Jason Smith, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, joins the Rundown to explain why Republicans want broader reforms beyond Obamacare exchanges, how they hope to lower costs for every American, and what policy fights may be coming as both parties head toward the 2026 midterms. After years on the front lines of major cases, a former FBI special agent says the Bureau is no longer the agency she joined. Fox News Contributor, Nicole Parker, joins the Rundown to explain why she believes the FBI has become divided, what she witnessed inside the culture of the Bureau, and why restoring trust, focus and accountability is critical for its future.

There is a lot of discussion about "affordability," especially regarding young Americans' ability to buy their first home. A key step in achieving the American dream is getting a good job, but the path to that job has become harder, especially for Gen Z. Economic growth is being driven by productivity and investment in artificial intelligence, rather than by hiring. This is creating what some call a "jobless boom" in some industries. Translation: the job market is very competitive. Suzy Welch, Professor of Management Practice at NYU's Stern School of Business and author of the book, Becoming You, joins FOX Business' Lydia Hu to explain why it's not easy for job hunters right now and offer advice for young people and others on how best to stand out and navigate its challenges.

The United States given President Trump's 20-point security plan for Gaza to the U.N. Security Council, and now wants it formally authorized. The key point is allowing a multi-year international force to govern the Gaza Strip through at least 2027.

In this 2025 Week 46 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, host Grace and co-host Ryan review global ship recycling markets as 2025 enters its final stretch. Falling steel prices, a firm U.S. Dollar, and limited vessel supply kept sentiment weak across South Asia. Global Market Overview Market volatility persisted through mid-November. The Baltic Dry Index continued to rise across all sub-sectors, while oil futures slipped to around USD 59.50 per barrel following a Ukrainian drone strike on Russia's Novorossiysk refinery. The U.S. Dollar strengthened further, reducing recyclers' purchasing power, while steel-plate prices in key destinations declined. Transactions closed mostly in the low USD 400s per LDT, with smaller or less-preferred units moving in the high USD 300s. Bangladesh Activity improved slightly as seven vessels totaling about 66,000 LDT reached Chattogram, including a large 21 K LDT bulk carrier. Despite this influx, overall sentiment remains fragile. Political tension ahead of the February 2026 elections, high tariffs near 30 percent, and a weaker Taka (BDT 122.35 per USD) continue to challenge local recyclers. Steel-plate prices dropped another USD 1 per ton, signaling persistent caution in the market. India The Alang recycling market stayed quiet but stable. India's strong HKC-compliant yard base provides structure, yet demand remains limited. Smaller dry units are only just touching USD 400 per LDT. The Rupee eased to Rs 88.70 per USD, while steel-plate prices gained about USD 4 per ton, offering a modest boost. Industry participants expect 2026 to mirror 2025's challenges unless global fundamentals improve. Pakistan After a brief recovery earlier in the quarter, Gadani activity slowed again. No new vessels arrived, and the country still awaits its first HKC-approved yard. Steel-plate prices fell USD 13 per ton to below USD 600, and the PKR weakened to 282.80 per USD. Ongoing inflation and the inflow of cheaper Iranian steel continue to pressure local recyclers and reduce competitiveness. Turkey The Aliaga market remained steady with prices in the USD 260 to 280 per LDT range. The Turkish Lira slipped beyond TRY 42.30 per USD, maintaining difficult trading conditions. Despite weak fundamentals, yards are working to sustain operations and meet regional recycling demand. Market Sentiment Across South Asia, recyclers face a combination of currency weakness, volatile commodity prices, and cautious end-users. As 2025 draws to a close, attention turns to 2026 for potential stabilization and renewed tonnage flow.

Over 20,000 documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were just released by Congress, and they paint a damning picture of Donald Trump's relationship with the convicted sex trafficker. From the 2011 "dog that hasn't barked" email to the 2019 bombshell where Epstein wrote "of course he knew about the girls," let's walk through the complete chronological timeline of what Epstein said about Trump, who stayed connected to him after his conviction, and why Trump is now punishing Republicans...including rescinding Marjorie Taylor Greene's endorsement...for supporting transparency. Let's also discuss the cursed "blowing Bubba" email, as well as Megyn Kelly's disturbing Epstein defense.Support Resources:RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.

Frank A. Spring, founding partner at Altum Insight and managing partner of Undaunted Ventures, shares how qualitative methods can understand the stories voters tell themselves about politics. Frank discusses his work using AI-moderated interviews (AIMI) and digital ethnography to analyze citizens' understanding of democracy, and how these insights can be used to inform political storytelling. We also discuss generalizability from this type data, the importance of cultural context, and the ethics of stories' relationship to facts.

Episode 591 of the A Minute to Midnite Show. Andre@Spiritual Logic joins Tony K. The discussion centres around the current deceptions and distractions that are escalating and preventing the majority of people from seeing how quickly we are marching towards the Beast system, One World Religion and totalitarian government.

The Democrats who voted to reopen the government earlier this week have stirred up turmoil within their party, with many on the left viewing it as a betrayal for failing to extend COVID era Affordable Care Act subsidies. Republicans, meanwhile, are up in arms over a last-minute inclusion to the funding package, which would allow senators who allegedly had their phones tapped to sue the federal government for hundreds of thousands of dollars. FOX News Digital Congressional Correspondent Liz Elkind joins the Rundown to unpack the drama on Capitol Hill, and what to look out for as the government gets back to business. Later, Philip Diehl joins to discuss the future of the penny, after the mint officially ceased its production earlier this week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Political analyst Herbert Esmahan takes The Anchormen Podcast on a geo-political journey across Latin America as socialist regimes desperately cling to power. Esmahan has seen first hand how President Nayib Bukele completely transformed El Salvador from the murder capital of the world… to a place that can now serve as a model for its Latin American neighbors. Esmahan believes God has given El Salvador a second chance at peace & prosperity to send a message to the rest of the world: no matter how bad your situation is in life, there's always hope for redemption.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, in chapter two of "American Marxism," titled "Breeding Mobs," it explains how mass movements devour individual identity and uniqueness, rendering people indistinguishable while assigning group identities based on race, age, or income to foster class distinctions and divisions.  These movements attract disenchanted, disaffected, and maladjusted individuals who blame external factors like the system or others for their conditions, lured by utopian promises and criticisms of society, where improving their lot ties to the cause and disparaging the successful becomes a tactic to instill meaning and self-worth.  Ultimately, these movements rely on deceit, propaganda, intimidation, and force, leading to scapegoating, violence, and totalitarianism.  Just think of figures like Bernie Sanders, AOC, Nick Fuentes, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and their supporters. Also, Democrats are trying to insinuate that Trump spent significant time with Virginia Giuffre and possibly engaged in untoward behavior. However, Giuffre herself stated in 2016 that Trump was never involved in any improper conduct with her and that she witnessed nothing inappropriate. Democrats redacting Giuffre's name in leaked emails was intentional to fabricate a scandal, similar to the Russia hoax. Later, Gov Greg Abbott calls in and explains that he shut down the proposed EPIC center in the Dallas area, an Islamic-only development, through a new law that bans no-go zones, prohibits discriminatory land sales or rentals based on Islam, mandates disputes be resolved under Texas laws and courts rather than Sharia law, and empowers the Attorney General to close such projects. He also outlined a multi-point plan to make housing more affordable by reducing property taxes. Finally, Professor Emeritus John Ellis calls in and argues that to save universities from radical political zealots who have replaced knowledge promotion with fringe ideology indoctrination, urgent reform is essential, as evidenced by radicalized graduates influencing society, such as New York's communist mayor.
