Podcast appearances and mentions of al qaeda

The assassination of Charlie Kirk They frame Kirk’s death as a political assassination, comparing it to historical killings of JFK, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The hosts emphasize concerns about political violence, the dangers of polarization, and left-wing reactions online. They highlight messages of unity from unexpected voices on the left, such as Cenk Uygur, while contrasting that with those celebrating Kirk’s death. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Cruz details violence by Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa, citing statistics of tens of thousands of Christians killed and thousands of churches destroyed. He introduces the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, which seeks to: Classify Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” for religious freedom. Keep Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa labeled as terrorist groups. Sanction Nigerian officials complicit in persecution. The discussion connects this to broader issues of U.S. foreign policy, criticizing past administrations (especially Obama and Biden) for not doing enough to defend persecuted Christians. Tucker Carlson’s controversial statements Carlson’s remarks about offering condolences to Osama bin Laden’s family, questioning Hamas’s designation as a terrorist group, and sympathetic portrayals of Russia and Iran are strongly criticized. Cruz and Ferguson accuse Carlson of moral relativism, equating his views with those of progressive politicians like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. They reaffirm that groups like Hamas, al-Qaeda, and ISIS are terrorist organizations, citing both U.S. and international designations as well as historical attacks.

Following the murder of Trump ally Charlie Kirk, Christiane speaks with human rights activist Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of the late civil rights icon. The two discuss the rising political violence in America and the need to seek civility. Then, Michigan's Democratic Senator, Elissa Slotkin, speaks with Christiane about what America's foreign policy should look like, following Israel striking inside Qatar and Russian drones entering Polish airspace. Plus, freed Israeli hostage Liat Beinin Atzili & filmmaker Brandon Kramer join Christiane on set in London to discuss his new film "Holding Liat," looking at how Liat's family fought for her return from Hamas captivity while also grappling with their own moral outrage over the war in Gaza and desire for peace and reconciliation. Also, Isobel Yeung reports on the UK government's decision to designate Palestine Action a terrorist group. And twenty four years after 9/11, Christiane reflects on her own coverage in the chaotic days after the attacks, and goes back to her report from Afghanistan from December of 2001, where she and her team found evidence of Osama Bin Laden's plans, his Al-Qaeda training camp, and the last place he was known to have lived before fleeing.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, on the 24th anniversary of September 11th remember that Qatar and Saudi Arabia were behind it. Qatar protected Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), the mastermind behind the attacks and Al Qaeda, and aided his escape from the FBI about two years prior. Qatar lies, cheats, funds terrorism, buys politicians, businesses, and sporting events, while providing safe haven to Hamas as it did for KSM. Later, the Charlie Kirk assassin is still at large, but the FBI is closing in. He will get caught and he needs to be put to death. This guy needs to pay the price, and the whole country needs to see it. Kirk was a genius who lived life fully, enjoyed debating opponents, and inspired young people in the liberty movement. Kirk is the quintessential American story of self-made success and will have an enduring legacy. Also, negative power is maintained through manipulative communication techniques like deception, fearmongering, and intimidation, designed to arouse prejudices, suppress independent thought, and control populations without moral constraints. In politics, this undermines democracy by withholding information for informed decisions, inciting destructive actions that serve demagogues while corrupting legitimate governance. This is today's Democrats. Finally, Miranda Devine calls in and explains that the assassination of Charlie Kirk exemplifies an epidemic of leftist violence targeting Trump supporters and MAGA figures.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, Russian drones breaching NATO airspace, Trump's war on Venezuela's cartels, Mexico's tariff fight with China, a pharmaceutical victory in Tennessee, and new revelations in the 9/11 families' lawsuit against Saudi Arabia. From political violence at home to dangerous escalations abroad, today's brief carries heavy news on a day of prayer and remembrance.   Charlie Kirk Assassinated in Utah: The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University. President Trump called him “a martyr for truth and freedom” and ordered flags at half-staff. Video shows a sniper shot to the neck from a rooftop as Kirk addressed thousands of students. MSNBC sparked outrage with coverage that suggested Kirk's “awful words” made his death inevitable. Bryan warns, “The seal has now been broken: if you make those arguments or say those words, you're fair game too.”   Russian Drones Violate Polish Airspace: NATO confirms 19 Russian drones flew over 150 miles into Poland, with several shot down by Dutch and Polish jets. Bryan cautions that even an accident could spark a “Gulf of Tonkin–like incident” dragging NATO into direct war with Moscow.   Trump Escalates War on Venezuela's Cartels: After U.S. forces sank a drug boat killing 11, critics accuse Trump of overstepping presidential authority. War Secretary Pete Hegseth countered: “This strike sent a clear message: If you traffic drugs toward our shores, the United States military will stop you cold.”   Mexico Tariffs Chinese Imports: President Claudia Sheinbaum hikes tariffs on Chinese cars and textiles to 50 percent, aiming to shield Mexican workers and appease Trump's demands to close tariff loopholes. Bryan notes this could undercut Beijing's backdoor into U.S. markets.   Saving U.S. Antibiotics in Tennessee: Trump brokers a deal forcing Walmart and McKesson to buy amoxicillin from Bristol, Tennessee, rescuing America's last antibiotic factory from collapse. “Don't bet against America,” Bryan says, “because with leadership that actually loves this country, we will win.”   9/11 Families' Lawsuit Against Saudi Arabia Advances: A New York judge allows families to pursue claims that Saudi intel officers Omar al-Bayoumi and Fahad al-Thumairy aided hijackers. ProPublica reports al-Bayoumi was a Saudi intel asset in the U.S. coordinating with the GIP. Bryan calls for Trump to declassify CIA files: “It's time for some sunlight on what did or didn't happen that horrific day.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Take your personal data back with Incogni!

It's Thursday, September 11th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Papua New Guinea held National Repentance Day Papua New Guinea held its National Repentance Day last month with prayer and worship gatherings across the country. The event began in 2007 to remember the nation's Christian heritage.  The island country in Oceania is home to over 10 million people, most of whom identify as Christian. Papua New Guinea amended its constitution in March to declare itself a Christian nation. Rev. Jack Urame leads the Lutheran Evangelical Church in the country. He spoke at the recent event, calling for genuine repentance. He said, “Repentance is a way of life, acknowledging God as the source of our life, our country, and our very existence.” Matthew 3:8 says, “Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.” Nearly half of Evangelicals are in Africa Researchers shared data on global evangelicalism at an event hosted by the World Evangelical Alliance last week. Dr. Gina Zurlo, editor of the World Christian Database, estimates that there are up to 937 million Evangelicals worldwide. Also, the center of evangelicalism has shifted. Nearly half of Evangelicals are in Africa, 26% are in Asia, and only 11% are in North America. The country with the largest Evangelical population is now China, not the United States.  Poland shot down suspected Russian drones Reuters reports that Poland shot down suspected Russian drones that entered its airspace yesterday.   Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said it was “the closest we have been to open conflict since World War II.” But he also said he had “no reason to believe we're on the brink of war.” Russia denied responsibility for the incident. This marks the first time a NATO member has fired shots since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk assassinated on college campus Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old Christian founder of Turning Point USA, a massive conservative student organization on 3,500 college campuses, was fatally shot and killed on Wednesday, September 10th by an assassin at a Utah Valley University event in Orem, Utah, reports The Blaze.com. Justin Hickens was a witness, reports NBC News. HICKENS: “I was about 20 yards away on Charlie's left. There were thousands of people there. Unfortunately, there was no metal detectors. There was security by Charlie. But, you know, anybody could have shown up with whatever unfortunately. And I, I happen to kind of maneuver my way down close on the side. “The first interaction probably took about 10 minutes, it was a religious-related exchange. And then there was someone who stepped up, ironically, coincidentally, who asked the question about mass shootings. And about 60 to 90 seconds in, we just saw, we heard a big, loud shot. I saw a bunch of blood come out of Charlie. I saw his body kind of kick back and go limp, and everybody dropped to the ground. “Luckily, there were no other bullets sprayed into the crowd, because nobody was really able to go anywhere. It was just like a big open pavilion.” Kirk had 5.3 million followers on his X account and drew an audience of more than 500,000 monthly listeners to podcasts of his radio program, "The Charlie Kirk Show." He also authored or contributed to several books, including Time for a Turning Point: Setting a Course Toward Free Markets and Limited Government for Future Generations as well as The College Scam: How America's Universities Are Bankrupting and Brainwashing Away the Future of America's Youth, reports Reuters. Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox characterized the shooting this way. COX: “I want to be very clear that this is a political assassination. We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. First one of those is life. And today, a life was taken. “Charlie Kirk was, first and foremost, a husband and a dad to two young children. He was also very much politically involved, and that's why he was here on campus. Charlie believed in the power of free speech and debate to shape ideas and to persuade people.” While police initially arrested an older man as a suspect, he was subsequently released, reports The Daily Mail. Then, after FBI Director Kash Patel had a subject in custody, he was also released. The manhunt continues. Blaze Media CEO Tyler Cardon said, "Charlie Kirk was one of one. He was a gifted communicator, loving husband and father, visionary builder, and a faithful Christian. He was the most effective representative of conservative Christian values of his generation. A force of nature. I will miss him dearly." Conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings said this. JENNINGS: “I'll be honest with you, I am in utter disbelief at this. I sat in this room last summer, the night they shot the president. And now they shot Charlie. I'm not sure it's safe to be an outspoken conservative walking around in America right now. “This nation is in desperate need of prayer and some kind of an intervention. What was Charlie doing? Making a speech, engaging in rhetoric, having a debate. That's the bedrock of our nation.” Kirk's appearance at Utah Valley University was the kick-off event for The American Comeback Tour in which students, who disagreed with him, were invited to come to the microphone at the “Prove Me Wrong” table and ask Kirk a question. Blaze TV host Sara Gonzales was incredulous. GONZALES: “Charlie is doing this tour. Why? Because he wants to have a respectful dialogue with people who don't agree with him. That's the entire intention. That's why he sits there and he invites people up to the mic. He doesn't have to have a mic there. He doesn't have to invite people with opposing opinions up there. “The literal intention behind all of this is to have a civil debate, regardless of your opinion. And apparently, in this country, you can't have a differing opinion from the woke radical ideology without someone attempting to kill you.” Turning Point USA, whose revenue exceeded $81 million in 2022, has not only influenced multiple American elections, but has also sparked difficult conversations, changed perspectives, and helped build new connections on college campuses. President Trump addressed the nation last night on September 10th. TRUMP:  “I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror. “Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He's a martyr for truth and freedom, and there has never been anyone who was so respected by youth. “Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith. And we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in Heaven. “This is a dark moment for America. Charlie Kirk traveled the nation, joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate. His mission was to bring young people into the political process, which he did better than anybody – ever -- to share his love of country and to spread the simple words of common sense. On campuses nationwide, he championed his ideas with courage, logic, humor and grace.” President Trump objected to how the Left and the media have demonized conservatives like Charlie Kirk. TRUMP: “It's long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible. For years, those on the radical Left have compared wonderful Americans, like Charlie, to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.” And Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship shared this emotional reaction. LAURIE: “I'm sure many of you have heard the heartbreaking news. Charlie Kirk has died. This is an incredible loss. Charlie was such a courageous young man. “He was not only a bold and unwavering voice for Biblical truth in our culture, but also a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, a husband and a family man. He will be deeply missed. “As shocking as this news is, we can take comfort in knowing that Charlie is now in Heaven. The moment he took his last breath here on Earth, he took his first breath in the presence of the Lord. That is the hope we hold on to as believers: eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.” Charlie Kirk is survived by his wife Erika, a former Miss Arizona USA beauty pageant winner, and their two children. Phillip Brown, a Christian businessman in Belton, Texas, said, “I pray that more young men will take his place and not be silenced.”   Hero of 9/11 remembered And finally, today marks 24 years since the tragic 9/11 attacks. In the early morning of September 11, 2001, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners. The terrorists crashed two of the planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. And the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania as passengers fought back against the hijackers.  One of those passengers was a Christian man named Todd Beamer. A call from the plane's phone records how he recited the Lord's prayer and Psalm 23 before confronting the terrorists. The plane crashed, killing everyone on board but saving the hijackers intended target, perhaps the U.S. Capitol or the White House.  Beamer's last recorded words were “Are you guys ready? Let's roll.” It became a rallying cry in the wake of the attacks which left nearly 3,000 people dead. Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 11th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Construction of the Virginia headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense began on September 11th, 1941 - spookily, the same date it was attacked by al-Qaeda six decades later.  The massive five-sided building, a potent symbol of America's military strength, became known as the Pentagon. Featuring 4 million square feet of office space, the building was designed by George Bergstrom under the supervision of Leslie R. Groves, who was later chosen to head the Manhattan Project and build the atomic bomb. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca, and Olly explain why the building's racially segregated bathrooms were installed, but never used; reveal why, for a while, a ‘Pentagon project' became a by-word for a white elephant; and consider whether a hot dog stand in the complex foxed the Soviets…  Further Reading: • ‘10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About the Pentagon' (U.S. Department of Defense, 2019): https://www.defense.gov/News/Feature-Stories/story/Article/1650913/10-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-the-pentagon/ • ‘Pentagon Hot Dog Stand – Arlington, Virginia' (Atlas Obscura, 2017): https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/pentagon-hot-dog-stand • ‘FOX Business reveals 'stunning' new details about Pentagon's construction' (FOX Business, 2022): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tK6gIsMAgc This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?

A manhunt is underway for the suspect who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. The FBI has released photos of a person of interest and is offering a $100,000 reward for information.Today, the nation marks 24 years since the September 11th terrorist attacks, when al Qaeda hijackers carried out a coordinated assault on the United States. Survivors and those impacted share their personal stories of that day.

Als Jugendlicher radikalisierte sich Irfan Peci und stieg zum Kopf der deutschsprachigen Al-Qaida-Propaganda auf. Heute warnt er vor der fortschreitenden Islamisierung Europas und erklärt im AUF1-Interview, wie Radikalisierung tatsächlich abläuft – und warum die Erzählung von einer ‚Blitzradikalisierung‘ durch soziale Medien ein Mythos ist.

From Biden's falsified job numbers—where nearly a million jobs never existed—to the shocking release of an al-Qaeda terrorist who masterminded London's 7/7 bombings, these stories reveal a disturbing pattern. Whether it's rigging economic data to sway elections or freeing mass murderers under the guise of “justice,” the left's global agenda is clear: weaken nations, sow fear, and strip citizens of truth and security. This segment connects the dots between economic deception in Washington and judicial insanity in London, warning Americans of the real dangers when ideology trumps reality.

Today's coverage dives deep into the threats facing America—from global terrorism to domestic policy failures. Highlights include the release of a convicted mass-murderer tied to al-Qaeda, the dangers of rising crime in cities like Charlotte, and the alleged exploitation of hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children under the Biden administration. The discussion also examines media bias, sanctuary city policies, and the broader consequences of Democrat-led mismanagement, connecting international terror, cartel activity, and domestic law enforcement failures to the everyday risks Americans face. This segment exposes systemic failures, political corruption, and the urgent need for awareness and action.

Ltt Gen. Marc Sasseville was born into an Air Force family and that played a significant role in his decision to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy and become an Air Force officer. After 14 years on active duty, Sasseville shifted to the Air National Guard in 1999 and also became a commercial airline pilot.On September 11, 2001, Sasseville was serving with the 113th Wing of the District of Columbia Air National Guard at Andrews Air Force base when Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four airliners. Once the second plane struck the World Trade Center, Sasseville and everyone else on base knew it was a terrorist attack. But would there be more planes? And would they be headed for Washington, D.C.?In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Gen. Sasseville tells how that day unfolded. He explains what development required pilots in the D.C. Air National Guard to scramble their F-16's and be ready to confront any other other planes being flown by terrorists. But they had a big problem. None of their F-16's were armed with missiles and there was no time to wait for that. The reality soon hit home: if they needed to stop an airliner, they'd have to hit it with their own planes. If that was required, they would not be coming home.Sasseville takes us through his thinking on the most effective way to strike an airliner with an F-16. Ultimately, that would not be necessary due to the heroism of the passengers aboard United Airlines Flight 93. Sasseville honors them and he tells us what it was like flying near the Pentagon not long after it was attacked.He also reveals the unexpected assignment he received later in that day on 9/11 and details his time as commander of the 410th Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron in the early days of the Iraq War. Finally, he reflects upon what was really asked of him on 9/11 and his instinctive willingness to put his life on the line to protect our nation.

Osama Bin Laden masterminded 9/11, evaded the world's most powerful armies, and reshaped global politics. But who was he, really?In this second episode of Psycho Killer: Shocking True Crime Stories, Simon Ford and Jacques Morrell go beyond the headlines to explore Bin Laden's psychology — from fugitive years and obsessive micromanagement to the chilling revelations in the Abbottabad files.Using the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP), we ask: Was Bin Laden a prophet, a prisoner of his own ideology, or a psychopath? We examine his messianic self-image, emotional detachment, and controlling dominance, alongside his death in Abbottabad and the fractured legacy of al-Qaeda and ISIS.This is not just the story of one man, but of the world he made — and the fear, violence, and divisions that still echo today. Was Osama Bin Laden mad, bad, or something far more dangerous?

Andrew Card served more than five years as White House Chief of Staff for President George W. Bush. Less than eight months into Bush's first term, Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four U.S. airliners. Two were flown into each of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Another was used to crash into the Pentagon. The fourth plane was headed to Washington, but was forced down in a Pennsylvania field by the heroic passengers of United Flight 93.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Mr. Card takes us moment by moment as he learned the disasters in New York City were actually deliberate acts of terrorism by Islamic extremists, told the president the news in a Florida elementary school classroom, gave orders to get Air Force One ready to depart early, and figured out where they were going next.He also takes us inside the intense debate he had with the president about whether to return to Washington and the first decisions Bush had to make, including whether to shoot down airliners refusing to obey air traffic commands.Card also discusses President Bush's speech after returning to the White House, his impromptu message to Ground Zero recovery workers  on a bullhorn, his emotional meeting with first responders and families of those lost on 9/11 and much more.We'll also hear why Bush asked Card to take one high-ranking national security official "to the woodshed" and the shocking thing British Prime Minister Tony Blair told Card after Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress. And we'll learn how both Bush and Card were scolded after Bush said he wanted Osama bin Laden captured "dead or alive."

Una jornada negra que marcó un hito para el cambio de ciclo. El escenario cambió, el enemigo se descubrió, y los intereses se ramificaron. Los Estados Unidos tocados en su propio territorio, con sus símbolos caídos, de la manera más inhumana. Se conmemoran 24 años del ataque a las Torres Gemelas por Al Qaeda, apadrinados en su momento por los que hace cuatro años recuperaron Afganistán.

Jewish Policy Center Senior Director Shoshana Bryen hosted Professor Mark Meirowitz, a foreign policy and Turkey expert from SUNY Maritime College, for a deep dive into Ankara's growing regional role, its involvement in Syria's evolution, and its increasingly fraught relationship with Israel. With characteristic clarity and urgency, Prof. Meirowitz broke down the labyrinth of regional alliances and rivalries, calling the situation “literally mind-boggling” and comparing Syria to a “petri dish for chaos.” HTS, Al-Shara, and the Shake-up in Syria The ousting of Bashar Assad by the jihadist group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), led by Ahmed al-Shara (also known as al-Jolani), marks a significant shift in Syria's power structure—and possibly the region's. Once associated with al-Qaeda and ISIS, al-Jolani now wears suits and promotes a veneer of moderation. “Maybe the Turks provided him with some of these outfits,” Meirowitz quipped, questioning the authenticity of his transformation. Al-Jolani was “boosted by” Turkish support, Meirowitz explained, calling him a Turkish client rather than an independent actor. HTS's limited control—bolstered by foreign fighters like Uyghurs—has led to violent, sectarian repression, particularly against Alawites, Druze, Christians, and Kurds. “We're with al-Shara, and a lot of people are depending on him,” Meirowitz said ominously. Turkey's Interests: Stabilizing Syria to Serve Domestic Needs Turkey's involvement, Meirowitz stressed, is strategic. With over 3 million Syrian refugees inside its borders, Ankara is pressuring Damascus to stabilize and repatriate them. “The Turks want them back to Syria,” he said, noting the domestic strain and political sensitivity of the refugee crisis. Turkey has walked a fine line—signing infrastructure and defense agreements with HTS-controlled Syria while avoiding giving it full military autonomy. “Turkey's position is that Al-Shara is the go-to person… Let al-Shara unify the country,” Meirowitz explained. But internal Kurdish dynamics—particularly involving PKK, now in peace talks with Erdogan's government—make full alignment with HTS and Syrian Kurds tenuous. Will Turkey's NATO Membership Complicate It All? One of the more sobering insights from Meirowitz was the hypothetical scenario of Turkey, a NATO power, declaring a no-fly zone over Syria—potentially triggering Article 5 protections if hostilities break out with Israel. “That, to me, is the number one worry… that Israel and Turkey would come to conflict,” he warned. He emphasized the ongoing “deconfliction meetings” between Israel and Turkey, and Israel and Syria—possibly triangulating with al-Jolani himself. But of all the moving parts, Meirowitz emphasized Turkey's NATO status remains a critical leverage point: “Let's be realistic here. If there was a skirmish…Article 5 could be on the table.” Humanitarian Crises and Jihadi Control: Who is Really Running Syria? The ongoing massacres of minorities, particularly the Druze in Suweida, raise urgent questions about al-Jolani's power. “Has he lost control over the jihadis in his own ranks?” Meirowitz pondered, highlighting the grim possibility of Syria spiraling toward becoming a full-blown jihadi state. “The optics are totally opposed to [the idea of moderation],” he said, noting public executions and forced beard-shaving of Druze men as disturbing parallels to Nazi visual propaganda. “Clearly, this is reprehensible. The United States isn’t going to stand for it,” he added, referring to conditional American Congressional support for lifting sanctions on Syria.  Erdogan's Domestic Calculations: Kurds, Elections, and Power Turning inward, Turkey's President Erdoğan is eyeing another term in 2028. Despite constitutional term limits, he may seek early elections or amendments—with the support of Kurdish parliamentarians. “He’s very popular in Turkey,” Meirowitz said, crediting Erdoğan's projection of Turkey as a global power broker. “Turkey's been made into a player on the world stage.” However, he noted Turkey's lira is down, inflation is high, and economic growth is tenuous beneath the surface. This tension is compounded by Erdoğan's crackdown on political opponents, including jailing rivals and invalidating degrees to prevent candidacies. The Bigger Stage: Turkey in Africa, NATO, and the UN Turkey's ambitions extend far beyond Syria. From military expansion in Africa to attempting alignment with BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Ankara aims to diversify its global relevance. “They see themselves as undervalued,” noted Meirowitz. “It's not aggrandizement—it's coming from a feeling of being ignored.” Erdogan's call that “the world is bigger than five” is a veiled critique of the UN Security Council's permanent members—hinting at Turkey's desire for global restructuring that reflects its new stature. “They're trying to flex their muscles,” as one webinar participant insightfully noted.  Israel, Hamas, and the Limits of Pragmatism Meirowitz criticized Turkey's staunch support for Hamas and Hezbollah, calling it “a rabbit hole of disaster.” While support for Palestinian causes earns Erdogan domestic points, it's constraining Turkey's global relationships. “If everybody's a freedom fighter, that doesn't fly,” he said. At times, Israel and Turkey have found pragmatic partnership—like continued trade and oil transits during Syria's civil war—but the anti-Israel posture, sanctions, and rhetoric place those gains at risk. “We need to get together,” Meirowitz relayed from a Turkish businessman. “We like the same things… same food… same values.” Final Thoughts: Cautious Optimism, But Beware the Fault Lines In his closing remarks, Prof. Meirowitz struck a “guarded optimism” tone for Turkey's trajectory. “I believe Turkish leadership is going to give further thought to these directions,” he said, hoping Ankara will reconsider its Hamas alliance for more fruitful cooperation with Israel and the West. Bryen offered sober context: “Israel and Iran were friends once, too—until they weren't.” As Prof. Meirowitz put it, “Hamas is not a future for Turkey.” As the region’s political tectonics keep shifting, one question looms: Will Turkey's pragmatism prevail over ideology—or will ambition lead it down a path of strategic overreach? The answer, as Bryen put it, remains a moving thread.

Evidence has emerged that could change our understanding of the 9/11 terrorist attacks more than two decades ago. A 60 Minutes investigation has found that crucial information, initially turned over to the FBI shortly after the attacks, was never shared with the bureau's own field agents or senior intelligence officials. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports on this evidence, which has come to light amid a lawsuit against the Saudi government filed by families of the nearly 3,000 victims and includes a video of a Saudi national filming the U.S. Capitol, thought to be al-Qaeda's fourth target. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi travels to Costa Mesa, Calif., to meet with Palmer Luckey, the 32-year-old tech billionaire who founded Anduril, a defense products company that makes autonomous weapons, some already in use by the U.S. military and in the war in Ukraine. Alfonsi explores the artificial intelligence that powers Anduril's systems and reports on some of the company's most advanced weapons, including a submarine that operates without sailors. While several international groups refer to lethal autonomous weapons as “killer robots,” Luckey says that these innovations represent the future of warfare. Correspondent Bill Whitaker reports from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, a Marian shrine in Southern France and the site of 72 medical miracles recognized by the Catholic Church. 60 Minutes goes inside the Lourdes Office of Medical Observations, where world-renowned doctors and researchers conduct decade-long investigations into the dozens of claims of miraculous cures made every year. They determine which cases can be medically explained and which cannot.

The arrest of more than 500 people at a Palestine Action rally in London on August 9th did more than raise the profile of the little-known anti-war action group: it raised questions about the fundamental right of British people to engage in peaceful protest, and exactly what constitutes a terrorist organisation in the eyes of the government.The arrests were on foot of a ban in July under UK terrorism legislation which put the group in the same proscribed category as Islamic State, al-Qaeda, the IRA, the UVF and a long list of banned terror groups.In an essay in the Irish Times last weekend, novelist Sally Rooney made her position clear.In the piece which she says she could not legally publish in a British publication, she writes that she supports Palestine Action – including financially – and “If this makes me a ‘supporter of terror' under UK law, so be it“.The images that emerged of the arrests at the rally included those of elderly men and women with home-made “Stop the Genocide” signs and of people wearing Palestine Action T-shirts and carrying banners.Since then, civil liberties groups have been vocal in what they say is the dangerous route the British government is following, appearing to conflate peaceful protest with terrorism.So what is Palestine Action? Irish Times London correspondent Mark Paul explains.And he describes the scenes inside and outside the court in London on Wednesday when Belfast rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was in court facing charges of supporting a proscribed organisation by allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hizbullah at a Kneecap gig in London gig last year.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

The al-Qaeda offshoot JNIM is one of the deadliest Jihadist groups in the world. It exploits a security vacuum in Africa's Sahel region to impose its Salafist version of Islam. In part one of this miniseries we explored the structure and ideology of JNIM. In this episode we'll try to understand its impact on local life and on the region's complex geopolitics which increasingly looks like a proxy war - on both the information and physical battlefields.

Founded by Osama bin Laden in the late 1980s, Al-Qaeda is best known for orchestrating the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, which killed nearly 3,000 people. But what kind of threat does the violent Islamist organisation pose in 2025?In this episode, host Lucas Webber is joined by Edmund Fitton-Brown, a former British diplomat and former Coordinator of the United Nations' Monitoring Team, and an expert on Al-Qaeda. Edmund shares unique insights into Al-Qaeda's current capabilities, the group's strategic recalibration following the October 7th, 2023 Hamas attack, and why he believes a directed Al-Qaeda attack may not be far off.

Scenes few had expected in the UK - retired vicars carried away by the police for holding up a poster saying “I support Palestine Action”. The banning of the group by the Home Secretary has led to mass protest and mass arrests, the police and courts overwhelmed by dealing with those who do not accept that direct action and criminal damage constitute terrorism. Yvette Cooper says she has evidence it is NOT a non-violent group and it is right to bracket it with Al Qaeda and ISIS, but many, even in her own party, aren't convinced. So where does the law stand on this? Is the terrorist label a way of suppressing legitimate protest? Or a reasonable and just way to deal with those committed to unlawful actions in support of a cause?

Edition No211 | 01-08-2025 - The July 31, 2025, drone‑and‑missile attack on Kyiv was one of the most substantial and devastating of the war. It was also entirely indiscriminate and purely targeted at civilians. We'll break down: the scope of the attack, its human toll, the increasing difficulty of interception, voices calling out from Ukraine—and what the implications are for dealing with Russia, that has now cemented its identity as terror‑state, the Al-Qaeda of the European Continent.In the early hours of July 31, Russia unleashed one of the deadliest aerial assaults on Kyiv since the war began. Over 300 drones initially were counted and eight Iskander‑K cruise missiles, but according to Ukraine's air force later that count rose to 539 drones and 11 missiles, targeting the capital. Air raid sirens blared for hours while explosions shattered sleep and infrastructure. President Zelensky described it as a “deliberately massive and cynical” attack, timed hours after a phone call between Trump and Putin. He made the connection explicit: the strikes began “almost simultaneously with media reports discussing a phone call between President Trump and Putin.”----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: * United24 Media: “Death Toll from Russian Attack on Kyiv Climbs to 31—159 Wounded…”* United24 Media: photographic reportage “What Russia's Deadly Strike on Kyiv Left Behind…”* Associated Press: “Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv kills at least 13 and injures more than 130”* Reuters: “Russia launches drone and missile waves killing 16, injuring well over 100”* TIME / AFP via United24: largest drone attack record July 3/4 coverage* Kyiv Independent / United24 / international coverage of Meaghan Mobbs comments* Wikipedia timelines and drone attack summaries (Kyiv strikes)----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

In this episode of The Burn Bag, A'ndre sits down with retired CIA analyst Gina Bennett, who famously authored the first classified warning about Osama bin Laden in 1993. A key voice in the fight against al-Qaeda — and featured in the Netflix documentary Manhunt — Gina reflects on her decades in intelligence and how the U.S. national security system has long understood the nature of threats.Now, she's pushing for a paradigm shift with her Hunter-Gatherer National Security theory — a bold framework that challenges the traditional, militarized view of power and argues that skills like emotional intelligence, civic engagement, and social cohesion are just as vital to national security as military might. Together, A'ndre and Gina explore the deep historical biases embedded in how we define “security,” the concept of evolutionary power, the dangers of neglecting civic education in a democracy, and what a more holistic, evolved security strategy could look like.

The JNIM branch of al-Qaeda is one of the world's deadliest jihadist groups. It has firmly planted its flag in the Sahel. Sub-Saharan Africa has emerged as a key battlefront for jihadists: around 50 percent of deaths from terrorism in 2024 were registered in the Sahel region alone, according to the Global Terrorism Index. JNIM is an eclectic yet united coalition, rooted in the tribal desert regions of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. We look into its leaders, its narrative, and its modus operandi, and analyse the complexity of a region beleaguered by military coups, ethnic violence, and climate change.Contributors: Barry Marston, Jacob Boswall Producer: Kriszta Satori, Elchin Suleymanov Presenter: Krassi Ivanova Twigg

The Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City has become the darling of the party. He's young, personable, good looking with an electric smile. He's also a Muslim; and if he wins the general election, he will be the first to lead a major U.S. city. But he's also a socialist, a Marxist that may take the Democratic party even further to the left. But for many watching the political process unfold, there's the question of whether to be more concerned about his religious beliefs or his politics. It has been twenty four years since the 9/11 attacks, when radical Islamists aligned with Al-Qaeda committed the worst terrorist act on U.S. soil. For many New Yorkers, Mamdani, who was 9 years old at the time, is a possible extension of the worst Islam has to offer. But for others, it signals the victory of humanity and the power to forgive, along with the warning of never to paint with the proverbial broad brush of any one race or religion. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, best-selling author and founder of Embrace the Truth, Abdu Murray, takes on the Mamdani question. Murray grew up as a devout Muslim but now is an apologist for Christianity. His foundation answers people's questions about Christianity and religion in the public square.  He explains why Mamdani appears more of a cultural Muslim than someone who embraces the faith. But that may not matter to the three quarters of a million Muslims who live in the Big Apple. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Druze are a community that also has deep roots in Israel, and over 1,000 Israeli Druze citizens crossed the Israel-Syria border to support their brothers and sisters being attacked.In response, Israel launched a series of strikes against military facilities in Damascus, prompting widespread global criticism. As of Saturday, all sides have agreed to a ceasefire. However, we are still seeing reports and videos on social media of Druze being attacked in Southern Syria.Many are asking what to make of Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former Al Qaeda affiliate who claims to have moderated. People are also wondering to what extent Turkey – a supporter of the new Syrian regime – played a role in what's unfolded in Syria.  Joining us to discuss – and at points, debate – these complex questions are Charles Lister, senior fellow and director of the Syria Initiative at the Middle East Institute, and Hay Eitan Cohen Yanarocak, researcher of modern-day Turkey at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University.(00:00) Introduction(05:05) What happened in Syria?(11:16) The involvement of Turkey(15:06) The U.S. response to Israel's intervention in Syria (31:20) Turkey's ambition(37:51) Did Israel make a mistake?(43:45) OutroCREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Brennan and Comey Under DOJ Investigation The Department of Justice is investigating former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey for their roles in the Trump–Russia probe. Allegations include false statements to Congress and broader conspiracies against President Trump. Bryan calls their actions one of the greatest crimes of his lifetime and demands accountability. Supreme Court Empowers Trump to Fire Federal Workers In an 8–1 ruling, the Supreme Court sided with President Trump's effort to carry out mass federal layoffs. The justices made clear the move will likely withstand future legal challenges. Polls show strong public support for downsizing a federal workforce that ballooned under President Biden. Antifa Shoots ICE Agent in Texas, More Attacks Planned A far-left terror cell ambushed an ICE facility in Texas, injuring one agent. Ten people were arrested and charged with attempted murder. In New York, another leftist was arrested for online threats to kill ICE agents and their children. Bryan warns that Democrat rhetoric is fueling real-world violence. State Department Alerts Global Leaders to AI Voice Fraud Foreign ministers and U.S. officials were targeted by an AI-generated voice mimicking Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The State Department has issued new guidance to prevent deception via deepfake audio. Bryan advises listeners to use private “code words” with loved ones as a precaution. Trump Plans Work Permits for Migrant Farm Workers, Long-Term Shift to Automation President Trump's administration may offer work visas to some illegal immigrants in agriculture while pursuing a long-term shift toward farm automation. New weeding robots and AI-driven farm equipment are gaining traction, with a goal of replacing migrant labor with American-led automation. Trump Moves to Ban Chinese Ownership of U.S. Farmland The administration is crafting an executive order to force Chinese nationals off U.S. farmland, especially near military bases. Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods pushes back, but Bryan urges revoking all Chinese visas, citing espionage and sabotage risks. Trump May Send Patriot Missiles to Ukraine as U.S. Stockpiles Shrink The White House is considering a new Patriot missile system for Ukraine. Stocks are already low due to conflicts in Israel and Yemen. Bryan warns that America is risking strategic depletion and urges Europe to step up—possibly with troops on the ground. Dozens of Countries Race to Strike Trade Deals Before Trump's August Deadline European nations are close to locking in low tariff rates, while countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Bangladesh scramble to avoid steep penalties. BRICS members, including China and India, face an automatic 10% tariff penalty for trying to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump Imposes 50% Tariff on Copper to Revive U.S. Mining With only three copper smelters left in America and rising dependency on imports, Trump hikes copper tariffs to boost domestic refining and national security. U.S. Removes Terrorist Label from Syrian Rebel Group Trump revokes the terror designation from HTS, a former al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, citing a high-confidence intel assessment that its leadership has reformed. The move could open Syria to investment and peace talks with Israel. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

The DOJ announces that there is no incriminating client list in the Epstein files despite the administration having promised MAGA influencers that there would be bombshell revelations in the case. Plus: the State Department drops the "terrorist" designation for the Al-Qaeda affiliated HTS organization, showing the emptiness of the "terrorism" label.  ------------------------------------------- Watch full episodes on Rumble, streamed LIVE 7pm ET.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Iran's nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile development pose an existential threat to Israel and American civilization, which cannot be ignored. Israel, possibly with U.S. assistance, will take military action to neutralize this threat, as Iran will not go away on its own. Iran's actions, including attacks via proxies and American casualties, demand a decisive military response, which is self-defense rather than nation-building. These radical Democrats, fifth-columnists, and isolationists lack any strategy and moral clarity. Also, the people of Israel are never discussed by the media. They face severe challenges every day, especially in Tel Aviv, where ballistic missiles from Iran target hospitals and public areas, forcing families into bomb shelters. They are in constant fear with a disrupted quality of life. Media outlets ignore these struggles and ignore the regime's history of killing and maiming American soldiers. Later, Zuhdi Jasser calls in and addresses the mindset of the isolationists and fifth columnists who deliberately ignore the existential threat posed by Iran's theocratic regime and its proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis. He emphasizes that these groups are driven by a radical theology that glorifies suicide bombing, chaos, and the targeting of non-combatants, with the ultimate goal of triggering an apocalyptic scenario tied to the return of the 12th Imam. Jasser asserts that Iran's uranium enrichment is clearly aimed at developing nuclear weapons, not peaceful purposes, and warns that the regime would use such weapons, likening its leadership to a cult willing to commit national fratricide. Finally, Sayyid Qutb's book Milestones, promotes pure Islam and strict shariah, rejecting Western values and most modern Muslims as ignorant (jahiliyyah). Groups like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, MSA, and MPAC dismiss devout Muslims who oppose their views. Qutb's ideas fuel sectarian violence and terrorism by groups like Hamas and al-Qaida, and states like Iran, which pursues nuclear weapons through deception (taqiyya). Western appeasement fails to counter this clash with democratic values. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
