On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the left and the neo fascists on the right trashing Erika Kirk are evil. Yet, Tucker Carlson comes out with a video that was unbelievably loathsome.  He spews the Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories by ‘just asking questions.'  Why gaslight the conspiracy theories? Leave Erika Kirk alone and let her grieve in peace. Also, a proposal for Turkey to join an international military force in Gaza is outrageous. It would grant Erdogan—an Islamist who has destroyed Turkey, backs Hamas, provides safe haven to its leaders like Qatar, and advocates Israel's elimination-a dangerous military foothold on Israel's border, potentially extending to Syria. Later, Israel leads the world in defensive missile systems, far surpassing other nations, and has committed to sharing its technology with the United States for free.  Israel has developed the most advanced laser systems, which are now being deployed in the field for actual use rather than just testing. Further perfection of these lasers is crucial for countering Communist China's ballistic missiles, which could overwhelm US carriers and aircraft due to their speed, trajectory, and numbers; deploying them on US carriers, jets, and bombers would provide vital protection, and Israel's ongoing real-world refinements benefit both nations. Afterward, Islamic expansion is achieving in 50 years via immigration, welfare, and demographics what took 500 years of conquest historically, with Europe's Muslim population growing from under 1% in 1970 to 10-14% by 2050,  2-3 times the speed.  Western civilization faces replacement, not conquest, through demographic suicide enabled by democracy, paralysis, passivity, and naivete in a "silent" takeover where discussion is criminalized.  It involves physical replacement through open borders, incentives, reunification, refugees, and higher Muslim fertility amid native decline, plus ideological conquest via billions in social media propaganda from Iran, Qatar, and Turkey.

In a recent speech Turkish President Erdogan praised Syrians who were born and raised in Turkey, speak Turkish, and are now in Syria, saying, "Right next door to us… a brother nation that speaks our same language is rising anew from the ashes.” The quote has drawn the attention of experts like Ryan Gingeras, who joins Thanos Davelis as we look into what it tells us about Erdogan's worldview, and why this is something to keep an eye on as we look at the shifting power dynamics in the Levant.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Erdogan praises Syrians born and raised in TurkeyFrom Grexit to Eurogroup chief: Greece's recovery storyPierrakakis elected Eurogroup chiefEuropean Commission firmly behind Greece-Cyprus power link

Landet er storeksportør af olie, gas - og islamisme. Mange kender som arrangør af VM i fodbold og ejer af den franske storklub PSG. Et land, der på overfladen søger tilnærmelse til Vesten, men samtidig forfølger en strategi om at udbrede den samme islamiske ideologi, der har født både Hamas og Erdogans islamisme i Tyrkiet. Midlerne er masser af dollars, Al Jazeera og moskeer overalt i Europa og USA.

Today's Headlines: Trump had a busy week: he gave himself an A++++++ on the economy, and in a Politico interview, openly admitted he has “no vision for Europe” while praising autocrats like Orban in Hungary and Erdogan in Turkey. European security officials are sounding alarms too, warning that Russia's hybrid warfare campaign—political sabotage, infrastructure attacks, energy manipulation, and propaganda—could escalate into a full-blown war by 2029. Meanwhile, Netanyahu says he speaks to Putin “regularly” to protect Israel's borders, particularly against Syria, so the lines are already being drawn. Over in tech, Elon Musk confessed on Katie Miller's podcast that DOGE was only “somewhat successful” and that if he could do it again, he wouldn't. And the Pentagon, under Pete Hegseth, is rolling out Google's Gemini AI for unclassified work like onboarding and administrative tasks—but the NYT is suing because Hegseth's new press rules forced reporters to sign gag orders or lose access. In Florida, Miami elected its first Democratic mayor in 28 years, Eileen Higgins, a former Peace Corps director and mechanical engineer, ending decades of GOP control and running on a government efficiency platform. Let's travel back to Taylor Swift's October album release real quick, remember the nazi, trad wife chaos around it?

SHOW 12-8-2025 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1895 KHYBER PASS THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE FEDERAL RESERVE  BOARD OF GOVERNORS. FIRST HOUR 9-915 The DC Shooter, the Zero Units, and the Tragedy of the Afghan Withdrawal: Colleagues Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss recent violence in Washington, D.C. involving an Afghan immigrant that has drawn attention back to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021; the shooter, Ramanula Lakanal, was a member of the elite "Zero Units" of the Afghan National Army, a force that demanded priority evacuation for their families in exchange for providing security at the Kabul airport during the U.S. retreat, and while these units were stalwart allies against enemies like al-Qaeda and ISIS, they fought a "dirty war" and were accused of human rights violations, highlighting the broader failure of the withdrawal which occurred because political will faded across multiple administrations. 915-930 The Vetting Failure and the Lack of an Exit Strategy in Afghanistan: Colleagues Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggioexplain that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was exacerbated by the lack of a methodical exit strategy, unlike the British who organized their departure and evacuation lists well in advance; critics argue that the U.S. imported significant security risks by rushing the evacuation, bringing in over 100,000 Afghans without adequate vetting, and while there was a moral obligation to help those who served, experts suggest that wholesale importation of citizens from a war-torn country was not the only solution and that better vetting or resettlement in third countries should have been considered. 930-945 Martial Law in South Korea and the Shadow of the North: Colleagues Morse Tan and Gordon Chang discuss South Korea facing severe political turmoil following President Yoon's declaration of martial law, a move his supporters argue was a constitutional response to obstructionist anti-state forces; the opposition, led by figures previously sympathetic to North Korea, has been accused of attempting to paralyze the government, while accusations of "insurrection" against President Yoon are dismissed as nonsensical, with the political infighting fracturing the conservative party and leaving South Korea vulnerable to the North Korean regime in a way not seen since the Korean War. 945-1000 Japan Stands Up for Taiwan While Canada Demurs: Colleagues Charles Burton and Gordon Chang report that Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi recently declared that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a "survival threatening situation" for Japan, authorizing the mobilization of self-defense forces; this statement has triggered a massive propaganda campaign from Beijing demanding a retraction, as a successful invasion of Taiwan would likely require violating Japanese sovereignty, while in contrast Canada remains reluctant to support Tokyo or criticize Beijing, hoping to secure trade benefits and diversify exports away from the U.S., leaving Japan isolated by its allies. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 The Survival of UNRWA and the Flow of Terror Finance: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotterreport that despite investigations revealing corruption and ties to terrorism, the UN has renewed the mandate for UNRWA for another three years; the organization's facilities have been used by Hamas and its schools have been implicated in radicalizing children, yet international efforts to replace it have stalled, while Hamas leadership refuses to disarm or accept international oversight, demanding a Palestinian state as a precondition for any change, with financial support for terror groups continuing to flow through networks in Europe and the Middle East. 1015-1030 Greece's "Achilles Shield" and Israel's Iron Beam Laser Defense: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter report that Greece is undertaking a historic modernization of its armed forces, unveiling a new national defense strategy focused on long-range missiles and a modernized air defense system dubbed "Achilles Shield," allowing Greece to project power more flexibly in the Eastern Mediterranean and counter threats from Turkey; in Israel, a major defensive breakthrough is imminent with the deployment of the "Iron Beam," a laser defense system capable of intercepting threats at approximately $50 per shot, expected to rewrite the rules of air defense by effectively countering drone swarms and missiles. 1030-1045 Hezbollah's Quiet Regeneration Under Naim Qassem: Colleagues David Daoud and Bill Roggio report that since the ceasefire began, Hezbollah has received at least $2 billion from Iran and is actively rearming and regenerating its forces in Lebanon; the terror group is focusing on acquiring drone swarms and other asymmetrical weapons that are cheap to produce and difficult for Israel to counter, while Hezbollah's new leader Naim Qassem is leveraging his "bookish" and underestimated persona to lower the temperature and allow the group to rebuild without attracting the same level of scrutiny as his predecessor. 1045-1100 Fragmentation in Yemen: The Southern Transitional Council Advances: Colleagues Bridget Tumi and Bill Roggio report that the civil war in Yemen is fracturing further as the Southern Transitional Council, which advocates for southern secession, advances into eastern governorates to secure territory and combat smuggling; this move has heightened tensions within the anti-Houthi coalition, as the STC is backed by the UAE while other government factions are supported by Saudi Arabia, weakening the collective effort against the Houthis who control the capital Sanaa and maintain ambitions to conquer the entire country. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 The Druze National Guard and Internal Strife in Southern Syria: Colleagues Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio report that instability is growing in Syria's Druze-majority Suwayda province, where a newly formed "National Guard" militia has begun arresting and killing political opponents; the militia is spiritually guided by Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, who has consolidated power by sidelining other Druze leaders who were open to reconciliation with the Assad regime, with Turkey expressing support for the anti-Assad Druze factions against both the Syrian government and Kurdish forces, while recent violence suggests a hardening of anti-regime sentiment. 1115-1130 The "Variable Geometry" of the Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Affiliates: Colleagues Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio explain that the Muslim Brotherhood operates as a "mothership" for various Islamist movements, utilizing a strategy of "variable geometry" to adapt to local political environments while aiming for a global caliphate; Hamas functions as the Palestinian branch of the Brotherhood and despite being severely damaged by the war with Israel remains the dominant force in Gaza, with the Brotherhood finding state sponsorship primarily in Qatar, which provides funding and media support via Al Jazeera, and Turkey, where President Erdogan acts as a leader for the organization. 1130-1145 Ukraine Negotiations Hit a Cul-de-Sac Amidst Infiltration Tactics: Colleagues John Hardie and Bill Roggio report that peace talks regarding Ukraine are currently at a standstill, with the U.S. and Ukraine at odds over Russia's demands for territory in the Donbas versus Ukraine's need for meaningful security guarantees; while the U.S. has pressured Ukraine to concede territory, the security assurances offered are viewed skeptically by Kyiv, and Russia refuses to accept any Western military presence in Ukraine, while on the battlefield Russia employs infiltration tactics using small groups, sometimes single soldiers, to penetrate deep into Ukrainian positions. 1145-1200 The Trump Corollary: Reviving the Monroe Doctrine in Latin America: Colleague Ernesto Araújo discusses a new "Trump corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine reshaping U.S. policy in the Americas, signaling a more assertive stance against foreign influence and authoritarian regimes; this shift is evident in Venezuela, where President Maduro appears to be negotiating his exit in the face of U.S. pressure, while in Brazil the administration of Lula da Silva faces significant instability due to a massive banking scandal linking the government to money laundering and organized crime, with the new application of the Monroe Doctrine suggesting the U.S. will favor political figures aligned with its security strategy. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Devil's Advocates: Robert Stryk, Rudy Giuliani, and the Business of Influence: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel discusses how in the power vacuum created by Donald Trump's arrival in Washington, unconventional lobbyists like Robert Stryk rose to prominence by marketing access to the new administration; Stryk, described as an "anti-hero" with a checkered business past, hosted a lavish event at the Hay-Adams Hotel to legitimize the regime of Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, successfully delivering Rudy Giuliani as Trump's personal attorney, signaling a new informal channel for foreign diplomacy and highlighting how foreign regimes utilized large sums of money and unconventional intermediaries to seek favor. 1215-1230 The Accidental Diplomat: Robert Stryk and the New Zealand Connection: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that Robert Stryk's rise in the lobbying world was fueled by serendipity and bold bluffs, exemplified by a chance encounter with a New Zealand diplomat at a cafe; the diplomat revealed that New Zealand, having prepared for a Clinton victory, had no contacts within the incoming Trump team and could not arrange a congratulatory call between their Prime Minister and the President-elect, and Stryk, leveraging a connection to a former Trump campaign field director, provided a phone number that successfully connected the embassy to Trump's team, establishing his credibility and launching his career in high-stakes foreign lobbying. 1230-1245 Hunter Biden, Chinese Spies, and the Monetization of Political Connections: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel reports that following his father's departure from the vice presidency, Hunter Biden faced financial pressure and sought lucrative foreign clients, leading to risky entanglements; one venture involved a corrupt Romanian real estate magnate who hired Hunter along with former FBI Director Louis Freeh and Rudy Giuliani to resolve his legal troubles, with the proposed solution involving selling land including the site of the U.S. Embassy in Romania to a Chinese state-linked fund, and Hunter Biden was aware of the nature of his associates, referring to one as the "spy chief of China." 1245-100 AM FARA: From Fighting Nazi Propaganda to Modern Transparency: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that the Foreign Agents Registration Act was originally enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda in the United States before World War II; at the time, the Third Reich was paying well-connected American consultants to whitewash Hitler's image and keep the U.S. out of the war, operating without public knowledge, and Congress passed FARA to create transparency, requiring those paid by foreign principals to influence the U.S. government or media to register their activities, with the law remaining today the primary vehicle for accountability in foreign lobbying

The "Variable Geometry" of the Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Affiliates: Colleagues Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio explain that the Muslim Brotherhood operates as a "mothership" for various Islamist movements, utilizing a strategy of "variable geometry" to adapt to local political environments while aiming for a global caliphate; Hamas functions as the Palestinian branch of the Brotherhood and despite being severely damaged by the war with Israel remains the dominant force in Gaza, with the Brotherhood finding state sponsorship primarily in Qatar, which provides funding and media support via Al Jazeera, and Turkey, where President Erdogan acts as a leader for the organization. 1934 TURKEY

Today's AKP government is often placed in the lineage of the Democrat Party, in power for 10 years before being overthrown in a coup in 1960. But as the book shows, the line from the Democrat Party to today is "neither as straight nor as flattering as Erdogan would have it be". Please support Turkey Book Talk on Patreon or Substack.

Ankara is voicing alarm over a spate of attacks on Russian tankers in the Black Sea, with fears that strikes on ships carrying oil and other key commodities could threaten global trade and pose environmental dangers to Turkey, which has the longest coastline in the strategic sea. The Turkish government on Thursday summoned both Russian and Ukrainian envoys, warning them to desist from escalating the conflict in the Black Sea. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the past week's attacks on three Russian tankers as "unjustifiable". Kyiv said its drones targeted two of the vessels, and Moscow has warned it may consider striking the ships of countries supporting Ukraine if such attacks continue. "This escalation is very dangerous; no one can estimate what will happen," warns international relations expert and former Turkish presidential advisor Mesut Casin. "Putin says he will use reciprocity rights. This means some of the [Russian] submarines could attack not only Ukraine but also some of the Western NATO allies' tanker ships," he explains, a possibility that raises the threat of "a very big environmental disaster". Shadow fleet Kyiv has claimed responsibility for the drone attacks on two empty Russian-flagged tankers but denied involvement in the strike on a ship carrying sunflower oil to Georgia. The Russian tankers belong to Moscow's so-called "shadow fleet", which is used to circumvent international sanctions by carrying oil and other exports aboard ships not officially registered to the government.  Given Turkey's long Black Sea coast, fears of an environmental catastrophe are foremost for Ankara. "These shadow fleet tankers are not modern and are not in good condition," observes former Turkish diplomat Selim Kuneralp. "The Russians provide their own domestic insurance for these ships," he says. "But how useful and how valid these insurances will be [...] remains a question mark." How one man's ship-spotting hobby is helping thwart Russian sanction-busting Trade implications With Ukrainian forces destroying much of Russia's navy in the Black Sea, Moscow has limited capacities to protect its tankers. Ukraine has so far targeted only empty Russian tankers, but alarm bells are ringing on the potential implications for global trade. "Both Ukraine and Russia are leading exporters of basic food and agricultural commodities," notes analyst Atilla Yesilada of GlobalSource Partners. "Despite massive bombing, Ukraine's grain export capacity is largely intact and is taking the coastal route. So any impairment of that is bad for the world at a time when we are not certain of crop yields because of the ongoing drought elsewhere." Insurance premiums for cargo ships using the Black Sea have already spiked amidst the escalating conflict. Ankara wary of escalation Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with his NATO counterparts this week, broaching the topic of ensuring safe navigation of the vital sea trade route. Turkey is already cooperating with its partners in the alliance that share the Black Sea coast, Romania and Bulgaria, to clear sea mines. Fidan said that cooperation could be expanded to enhance shipping security.  However, any increased NATO involvement in the Black Sea would be borne mainly by the Turkish navy, given that the Romanian and Bulgarian navies are largely coastal forces. Ships belonging to navies outside the Black Sea have been shut out by Ankara since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, along with Russian warships. Turkey, under the 1936 Montreux Convention, regulates access to the sea and is only allowing warships to enter to return to their home ports. Turkey's mediator role in the Ukraine war faces growing US pressure Former diplomat Kuneralp claims Ankara will be cautious of getting drawn into any conflict in the Black Sea. "It would put all the burden on Turkey alone. What would it do? Would it try to intervene in a dispute between Russia and Ukraine? That's unlikely. I would not want that to happen because it would be too risky," he says. "And that's perhaps why there have not been any concrete actions since the start of the war other than talk." For now, Turkey – one of the few countries with good relations with both Kyiv and Moscow – is relying on diplomacy, and hoping that Washington's ongoing peace efforts will succeed.

Ayman Muhammad Abd al-Rahim Abu Khalil, nacido en 1972 en el barrio palestino de Beit Hanina (Jerusalén Este), es un líder senior de Hamás con un historial de operaciones terroristas contra Israel. Criado en el contexto de la Primera Intifada, se unió tempranamente al grupo islamista, destacando en 1994 por su rol en una célula liderada por Mohammed Deif que secuestró y asesinó a dos soldados israelíes (Shahar Simani y Arye Frankenthal), durante las negociaciones de Oslo. Capturado poco después, fue condenado a múltiples cadenas perpetuas por secuestro, asesinato y pertenencia a una organización terrorista. Pasó 17 años en prisiones israelíes, donde continuó coordinando actividades de Hamás. Liberado en 2011 en el intercambio por el soldado Gilad Shalit (a cambio de 1.027 prisioneros palestinos), fue exiliado a Turquía, donde se estableció en Estambul bajo la protección del gobierno de Erdogan. Allí, se casó y construyó una red con líderes exiliados en Catar y Líbano. En 2025, Abu Khalil ha resurgido como el principal “arquitecto del terror” de Hamás en Cisjordania (Judea y Samaria). Desde Turquía, dirige células locales en Ramala, Hebrón y zonas rurales, transfiriendo fondos (muchos de origen catarí) a las Brigadas Izz ad-Din al-Qassam para ataques de bajo perfil como emboscadas y tiroteos. Coordina contrabando de armas y tácticas para compensar las pérdidas de Hamás en Gaza tras la guerra de 2023-2024. Conectado al liderazgo externo de Hamás en Catar (donde residen figuras como Khalil al-Hayya y Khaled Mashal), forma parte de una “puerta giratoria” del terrorismo: más del 80% de los liberados en el acuerdo Shalit han reincidido. Israel lo considera una amenaza prioritaria, con su nombre en listas de objetivos. Su historia ilustra la persistencia de Hamás en el exilio, intensificando la violencia en Cisjordania ante presiones geopolíticas, como los ataques israelíes en Doha en septiembre de 2025.Fuente: Radio Sefarad.

Israel's war against Hamas has left wives without their husband, children without their parents, and parents without their children. On December 4, 2025, Ambassador Summit 2025 hosted a special memorial service at Mt. Herzl to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives to protect Israel from an existential threat, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and the Houthis. In this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd shares his thoughts regarding the memorial service along with insights about the importance of standing with Israel at this critical hour.Visit the Blessors of Israel Website: https://www.blessors.org/ Thank you for supporting Blessors of Israel.

durée : 00:05:02 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Catherine Duthu - Le pape a été accueilli en grande pompe par le président turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan hier, pour son premier déplacement à l'étranger. Il appelle à bâtir des ponts entre les peuples.

Plus de 7 millions de Honduriens votent ce dimanche (30 novembre 2025), à la fois pour l'élection présidentielle, les législatives et les municipales. La campagne s'est déroulée dans un climat tendu, les différents camps politiques accusant l'autre de préparer une fraude. Les électeurs, eux, attendent du changement pour améliorer la sécurité et lutter contre la pauvreté qui touche 73% de la population. Notre correspondante au Honduras, Marie Griffon, a rencontré des Honduriens qui malgré des diplômes, ne trouvent pas de travail.   Nouvelles menaces des États-Unis contre le Venezuela Les tensions entre le Venezuela et les États-Unis ne s'apaisent pas. Donald Trump menace de lancer des opérations terrestres contre les trafiquants de drogue vénézuéliens. «Nous allons le faire très bientôt», a-t-il déclaré hier (27 novembre) lors d'une allocution télévisée aux forces armées, à l'occasion de Thanksgiving. Juste avant, Nicolas Maduro avait défié les États-Unis. Lors d'un discours adressé aux militaires, retransmise à la télévision d'État, le président vénézuélien a dénoncé «17 semaines de guerre psychologique» orchestrée par Washington, mais qui ne font pas vaciller son pays. L'administration Trump cache de moins en moins son ambition de voir Nicolas Maduro quitter le pouvoir. Le Washington Post le verrait bien se réfugier en Turquie, le cas échéant. Le président vénézuélien y a de nombreux contacts et surtout d'importantes richesses, notamment de l'or, affirme le quotidien. La Turquie y a également intérêt. Elle deviendrait ainsi «un acteur essentiel de la politique étrangère de Trump», analyse Lisel Hintz, spécialiste de la Turquie et professeure à l'Université Johns Hopkins, interrogée par le Washington Post. Après être intervenu dans les dossiers de Gaza, de l'Ukraine et de la Syrie, «le Venezuela pourrait être «le quatrième conflit qu'Erdogan contribue à résoudre avec Trump»», estime Soner Cagaptay, politologue turco-américain, également dans les colonnes du journal. Enfin, Nicolas Maduro et Recep Tayyip Erdogan s'entendent très bien. Une source anonyme au sein de l'administration Trump qui confirme que c'est une piste sur laquelle les autorités travaillent. S'il acceptait de s'exiler en Turquie, Nicolas Maduro ne serait vraisemblablement pas extradé vers les États-Unis où il est mis en examen pour trafic de drogue, corruption et narcoterrorisme, assure encore cet informateur. Se réfugier en Turquie serait un choix positif pour tout le monde, écrit encore le journal. Donald Trump ne perdrait pas la face ; Nicolas Maduro serait en sécurité. Nicolas Maduro protégé par son armée Il n'y a qu'au Venezuela, protégé par l'armée, que Nicolas Maduro est en sécurité, écrit le Wall Street Journal. L'armée restera fidèle au président jusqu'au bout, estiment plusieurs experts interrogés par le Wall Street Journal, car ils sont irrémédiablement liés. Nicolas Maduro ne veut pas céder le pouvoir. Accusé de violations des droits humains, d'enrichissement illicite et de trafic de drogue, il sait que la justice internationale pourrait le rattraper. Et du côté de l'armée, les généraux mouillés dans des trafics de drogue et des affaires de corruption, ont peur de se retrouver en prison si l'opposition arrive au pouvoir. «La cohésion du régime provient de la nécessité pour eux de continuer leurs activités criminelles et de sauver leur peau, un peu comme dans une mafia de lâches», juge un ancien diplomate américain qui a été en poste au Venezuela.   Un mégaport pour le Chili Après Chancay au Pérou, le Chili ambitionne, à son tour, de se doter d'un mégaport en agrandissant celui de la ville de San Antonio. Le pays veut ainsi conserver son rôle de porte d'entrée sur le continent, tout en anticipant une augmentation du commerce international dans les décennies à venir. Pour l'instant, sept entreprises, dont deux chinoises, ont répondu à l'appel d'offres. Depuis plusieurs années, Pékin accroît sa présence en Amérique Latine pour devenir la première puissance commerciale mondiale. Mais à San Antonio, l'extension du port préoccupe la population et les défenseurs de l'environnement.

Pope Leo has called for peace on the first day of his visit to Turkey, and urged Ankara to embrace the role of mediator in the world's conflicts. His host, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said he doesn't believe the differences between people, including religion, should be a source of conflict.

Two Chinese teenagers are arrested in South Korea, accused of spying on a military air base. A lawyer critical of the government is freed from detention in Tunisia.

Specifically, Trump intends to use it for: Accelerating Scientific Breakthroughs: By harnessing the world’s largest collection of federal scientific datasets (built over decades) to train AI foundation models and create AI agents that test hypotheses, automate research workflows, and drive discoveries comparable to historical efforts like the Manhattan Project. Combining National Resources: Integrating efforts from American scientists (including at DOE national labs), pioneering businesses, world-renowned universities, existing research infrastructure, data repositories, production plants, and national security sites to achieve dramatic advancements in AI development and utilization. Addressing Key Domains: Focusing on national priorities to revolutionize areas like infrastructure, data management, production, and security; build on innovations in semiconductors and high-performance computing; and secure energy dominance. Economic and Strategic Benefits: Dramatically enhancing workforce productivity, multiplying returns on taxpayer investments in research and development, strengthening national security, and furthering America’s global strategic leadership in technology. Broader Impacts: Enabling AI-directed experimentation, manufacturing, and problem-solving to tackle existential risks and opportunities, while ensuring secure, interoperable systems across government and partners. This initiative is framed as a response to global competition in AI, building on prior actions like America’s AI Action Plan, with an emphasis on urgency to outpace adversaries and foster economic growth.

The US has formally designated the ‘Cartel of the Suns' – a purported criminal network alleged to operate within Venezuela's security services – as a foreign terrorist organization, putting it in the same category as Al-Qaeda and Islamic State. Announcing the step on Monday, the US Treasury reiterated long-standing allegations that Maduro, whose legitimacy Washington disputes, heads the group.

President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/JoeLang51440671/status/1993319619403169935?s=20  to do anything. “Sen. Rand Paul on Sunday warned that President Donald Trump's focus on Venezuela may lead to a “fracture” among those who were drawn in by his campaign promise of avoiding foreign wars.” “Over the last few months, Trump has launched a campaign to eliminate alleged drug trafficking in international waters near Central and South America, mostly through controversial boat strikes – although he has also floated the idea of taking the strikes to land. On Monday, the Trump administration will officially designate Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization – a decision Paul on Sunday criticized. “I think by doing this, they are pretending as if we are at war,” said Paul, chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. “They're pretending as if they've gotten some imprimatur to do what they want,” he warned. “When you have war, the rules of engagement are lessened.” How many years has Rand Paul, been in office and when has he ever lifted a finger to go after the drug cartels? Trump is the first president who is waging a real war against drug cartels worldwide and Rand is doing his best to try and stop him. Trump cares about the millions of Americans who are dying from drug addiction and the families, who have lost loved ones. Rand Paul cares more about the drug cartels. And he's crying because Trump doesn't need him for anything. “Democrats in Congress have also expressed outrage over the strikes and the lack of briefings on the administration's actions – something Paul said he too has not received despite his position on the Senate Homeland Security Committee.” “I've been given zero, not one briefing because I am skeptical of what they are doing,” Paul said. “They don't brief me or the general Senate at all. A few hand-selected people may have gotten a briefing but I have not been invited to any briefings on Venezuela.” Why isn't Trump briefing Rand Paul or the democrats? Because you don't brief your enemies on your plans, when you are engaged in war. Rand Paul is nothing but a grandstanding politician and he can't stand the fact, that Trump ignores him and doesn't need him for anything. Do you want to know why else, Trump doesn't listen to him about fighting drug cartels? Here's Rand's solution to the problem: “Paul conceded that the flow of drugs into the country remains an issue but insisted that the government should focus on eliminating the demand for drugs here at home. “We should be trying to work on the demand side, treating it as a health problem, as an addiction problem in our country and trying to lessen demand. And that is part of the overall solution,” he said.” https://politico.com/news/2025/11/23/rand-paul-gop-venezuelan-strikes-00666488 To Rand Paul, millions of Americans dying from “illegal” drugs is just an “issue.” He thinks the solution is to pass legislation that takes more money from the American taxpayer and puts a bandaid on the problem. Trump on the other hand, is enforcing the laws already on the books and waging war against narco drug trafficking states that are clearly killing Americans for profit. We don't need Rand Paul in the Republican Party. He's only trying to get in the way and slow down Trump's efforts to Make America Great Again. The sooner he is removed from Congress the better.  Marjorie Taylor Greene's Resignation Could Spark Another Shutdown Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) resignation from Congress could handicap Republicans in a critical period during which government funding expires, with dire consequences for the MAGA movement. Georgia law dictates that within ten days of a congressman's resignation, the state's governor must call a special election to take place after at least 30 days from his pronouncement. If no candidate wins a majority in the jungle election (during which all candidates run against one another regardless of party), a runoff with the top two vote-getters takes place 28 days later. By prolonging her election, Greene all but assures her seat will be empty during a period where Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — and the American people dependent on a functioning federal government — may need every vote they can get. Greene, by prolonging her resignation for a month and a half, removes much of the urgency of scheduling a special election. Georgia political operatives project Kemp to set a date in March.

The prior U.S. attorney refused to prosecute these Democrat operatives. So the Attorney General picked a new one who is unafraid to follow the law. What is the Democrats' response? Unsurprisingly, an Obama judge hand-selected a Clinton judge. Then the Clinton judge tossed both indictments. And the first sentence in both nearly identical orders, in which the Clinton judge personally and gratuitously attacks Lindsey Halligan, makes it crystal clear this judge is a Democrat partisan. Democrat politicians, including in robes, shamefully protect their own. Unfortunately, we have two systems of justice. One Democrats weaponize against enemies.

Because too many Republicans would vote NO. Home-state senators do not want to give away their power to hand-select the U.S. attorney who would prosecute them, the U.S. district judge who would oversee their trial, and the U.S. marshal who would escort them to prison. The solution is simple: Have all Senate Judiciary Republicans and at least 50 Senate Republicans sign a letter saying this: “We will vote to confirm President Trump’s U.S. attorney nominees who lack blue slips from home-state senators.” Then Grassley can move forward with a committee vote. But why would Grassley anger all his colleagues and waste limited committee resources, if the nominees will fail? https://twitter.com/DataRepublican/status/1993291465137831953?s=20 https://twitter.com/C__Herridge/status/1993308443667472479?s=20 Kash Patel Talks In Depth About Attempted Trump Assassin And His Motives FBI Director Kash Patel told investigative journalist Catherine Herridge that hatred for the U.S. government and the two-party system played a role in Thomas Matthew Crooks' attempt to assassinate President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pa. Herridge asked Patel what motivated Crooks, 20, to try to kill Trump, then the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Patel's answer appeared to depart from previous FBI statements when bureau officials said they were unable to find a motive or ideology behind the assassination attempt. The FBI director — appearing on Herridge's show “Straight to the Point” by the Los Angeles Times Media Group — told her that Trump was “satisfied” with his agency's investigation into that fateful day. Patel stopped short of saying the case was closed. “He [Crooks], as has been publicized, had a basically hateful relationship with the United States government, talked disparagingly about both political parties, to include President Trump, and talked about the need to take matters into his own hands. And, unfortunately, that's what he did,” Patel said when Herridge asked about Crooks' motive.  Patel was later asked if Trump was satisfied with the FBI's findings regarding the July 2024 assassination attempt. He emphatically responded “yes.” Herridge asked Patel, “Is the Thomas Crooks case a closed case?” “How we treat cases like this of such great public importance is we put them in a pending-slash-inactive status, so if there's new information that comes in, we can receive it and react to it, and we don't want to foreclose that possibility,” the director said.

Instead of the meeting being tense, Trump and Mamdani were joking around and acting like old friends. Both willing to work together for the benefit of the people in New York. And now Trump just designated the group that was one of Mamdani's biggest fundraisers, as a terrorist organization. Just a coincidence? The ball is now in Mamdani's court. Trump proved to the world, by how he treated Mamdani, that what he really cares about, are the people of New York. Is Mamdani going to work with Trump, or choose to be a puppet of the Muslim Brotherhood? Mamdani now gets to choose which side he is on. https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1993079037611397563?s=20 President Trump Recognizes Certain Muslim Brotherhood Chapters for Potential Foreign Terrorist Designation The Muslim Brotherhood is the political arm of authentic Islam, and can be considered much like the umbrella organization for a host of different factions of Islamic fundamentalism. The Brotherhood is the unified political voice of many regional chapters, each with a varying degree of authentic Islam behind it. Qatar is the central bank for the Muslim Brotherhood; Turkey represents the Brotherhood's biggest national support network, and Egypt is the intellectual or scholastic battleground where the values of political Islam are debated. The executive order instructs the State Dept to officially begin the process to look at each chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood as a separate entity, and then see if the designation of a terrorist organization can apply to that chapter. As noted in the Executive Order, “relevant here, its chapters in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt engage in or facilitate and support violence and destabilization campaigns.”  It looks like Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt chapters of the Brotherhood will get the first review. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi already dealt with the extremist Muslim Brotherhood once, kicking their leadership out of Egypt.  The leaders fled to Qatar, and then ultimately ended up in Turkey, where Recep Erdogan absolutely loves the usefulness of the Brotherhood. Jordanian King Abdullah has been balancing the Muslim Brotherhood influence for years, and Lebanon is a hot mess with the Hezbollah faction of the Brotherhood.  The Muslim Brotherhood, as a political structure, holds all kinds of extremist factions under its umbrella (al-Qaeda, al-Nusra etc.).   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com 1237 Apr 22, 2018 1:31:31 AM EDT Q !xowAT4Z3VQ ID: 3e4934 No. 1141069  “The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process' with all the word means.

Is the era of Israel's undisputed regional dominance coming to an end? In this episode, we dissect the rapidly shifting tectonic plates of Middle East geopolitics. We tackle the provocative question: Has Israel lost its power and strategic initiative to rising regional heavyweights? We analyze how the landscape has changed since October 7th, examining the surging diplomatic and economic influence of Saudi Arabia, the assertive, independent foreign policy of Turkey under Erdogan, and the indispensable mediation role played by Qatar.Join us as we explore whether the momentum of the Abraham Accords has stalled and if a new power balance—led by Riyadh, Ankara, and Doha, is redefining the region's future at Israel's expense.This episode includes AI-generated content.

Ghost delivers one of his most sweeping geopolitical breakdowns yet, mapping out a rapidly shifting Middle East where alliances, conflicts, and power structures are moving faster than the mainstream can keep up. He begins by framing the week through his four essential lenses, Q, Devolution/Continuity of Government, the Sovereign Alliance, and Trumpomania, to explain why division, controlled friction, and political “kayfabe” are not signs of collapse but strategic components of a much bigger operation. From there, Ghost dives into the deepening fracture between Israel and Turkey, Netanyahu's escalating rhetoric, joint Israeli–Greek defense drills, intelligence leaks, and the quiet American hand shaping the region. He unpacks Jonathan Pollard's explosive influence inside Israel, Huckabee's controversial meeting with him, the nuclear brinkmanship behind Iran strikes, and why Netanyahu is openly preparing for the possibility of conflict with Erdogan. The episode then widens to Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, the Abraham Accords, and Tom Barrack's behind-the-scenes diplomatic influence, revealing how Trump-era alignments are reshaping the board. Ghost closes with updates on Congo, ISIS-linked operations in Africa, and the emerging U.S.–Russia peace structure designed to end the Ukraine conflict. A dense, global, razor-sharp hour of pure geopolitical clarity.

In this episode of the Blood Brothers Podcast, Dilly Hussain spoke with the recently freed British Muslim journalist and commentator, Sami Hamdi. Topics of discussion include: What consumed Sami's thoughts during his 18 days detention in the US? ICE treatment, negotiations with Homeland Security, and forgotten prisoners: Leqaa Kordia and Marwan Marouf. America First, free speech and the pro-Israel lobby: has the tide finally turned against Israel in the West? Why has Sami taken a conciliatory approach with the Trump administration? Does he regret opposing the Democrats and Kamala Harris in 2024? Thoughts on Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's recent press briefing in the Oval Office. Saudi Arabia and the UAE's cold war, Sudan and the RSF, and Türkiye and Erdogan's plans for Gaza. Hope for Islamic revival and a reminder to the Muslim ummah.

Turkey's role as a mediator in the Ukraine war is coming under strain as Washington advances its own peace efforts and urges Ankara to loosen its ties with Moscow. The pressure comes as Volodymyr Zelensky met Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara on Wednesday, where Turkey repeated its offer to restart talks with Russia. Erdogan told reporters alongside Zelensky that Turkey was ready to resume the “Istanbul Process”, the term Ankara uses for earlier talks between Ukraine and Russia. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, Erdogan has strengthened ties with Vladimir Putin and has said those relations help efforts to end the fighting. But Sinan Ciddi, of the US think tank the Foundation for Defence of Democracies, said Washington's latest actions suggest Ankara's influence is fading. Ankara's mediation, he said, had not produced results for either the Trump administration or its Western allies and has done little to move the conflict closer to a ceasefire or peace deal. “Washington is going its own way,” said Ciddi. US special envoy Steve Witkoff, who is leading Washington's peace efforts, did not attend the meeting in Ankara despite earlier reports he would. Some analysts say Ankara overplayed its hand by suggesting it could use its ties with Putin to deliver a summit that never happened. Israel talks defence with Greece and Cyprus, as Turkey issues Netanyahu warrant Changing diplomatic landscape Russia-Turkey expert Zaur Gasimov, of the German Academic Exchange Service, said Ankara's role has been weakened, with other countries such as Hungary now seen as possible venues for talks. Donald Trump's decision to deal directly with Moscow, he added, reduces the need for Turkey as a go-between. “Russia at the moment is not interested in any kind of peace negotiations with Kiev. But Putin and Moscow are interested in direct negotiations with the United States on this issue and possibly other issues,” Gasimov said, adding that Russia still values its ties with Ankara. “For Russia, contacts with Turkey are of paramount importance, being isolated by anti-Russian sanctions.” Turkey ready to help rebuild Gaza, but tensions with Israel could be a barrier Energy pressure on Ankara Erdogan has refused to enforce most Western sanctions on Russia, saying his relationship with Moscow is needed to build peace. But during Erdogan's September visit to Washington, Trump told him to end imports of Russian energy, which make up around half of Turkey's needs. Erdogan appears to be responding, as Russian oil imports have fallen in recent weeks. Ankara is also trying to strengthen its security ties with the European Union. Direct summits between Putin and Erdogan were once common but are now rare, with their meetings limited to the sidelines of international events. “There is clearly a move, more effort to restore and bolster relationships with the Western world,” former Turkish ambassador Timur Soylemez told RFI. Trump tests Turkey's energy dependence on Russia with lure of US power Balancing relations with Russia Soylemez said Ankara will still try to avoid harming its relations with Moscow. “The view from Ankara is that it's never a zero-sum game. Actually, the trick is to prevent it from being a zero-sum game. I think that would be an ongoing effort right now,” Soylemez said. Turkey's ability to balance both sides, he added, remains important for a long-term peace. “Turkish diplomacy and Turkey in general have shown there is a role for us to play,” Soylemez said. “For example, the Black Sea, when it comes to prison exchange, when it comes to de-escalation on different topics. Basically, because we have a channel to both sides and we're trusted by both sides.” Turkey is working with its Black Sea NATO partners on mine clearance. Analysts say this could later help secure safe passage for Ukrainian ships under a peace deal. But the targeting on Monday of a Turkish-flagged ship carrying a gas cargo at the port of Izmail in Ukraine by suspected Russian drones shows the risks Turkey faces as it tries to strengthen relations with Western allies without provoking Moscow.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has emphasized the country's commitment to advancing diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 633-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,213 on turnover of $10.4-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed lower Wednesday after giving up earlier gains, as investors stayed cautious ahead of an Nvidia Corp. investor conference and the release of meeting minutes by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Analysts say the bellwether electronics sector failed to stage a successful technical rebound as tech stocks saw their gains eroded amid lingering valuation concerns after recent strong gains among AI stocks. They say investors continued to pocket profits built recently for now with TSMC in focus. KMT, TPP leaders meet to discuss possible electoral collaboration The leaders of Taiwan's opposition KMT and TPP met Wednesday to discuss the prospects for collaboration (合作) in the 2026 local elections. Speaking during their public meeting in New Taipei, KMT Chairperson Cheng Li-wun told TPP Chairman Huang Kuo-chang that she hoped the parties' recent cooperation in the Legislature would deepen in the run-up to local elections. Cheng acknowledged "difficulties" in previous efforts toward a KMT-TPP alliance, but said that after meeting Huang, she felt strongly that they were on the same page. Huang, meanwhile, said he would direct the TPP's think tank to reach out to its KMT counterpart to discuss local governance and the parties' 2026 election goals.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Turkey seeking diplomatic support against Russia. He met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Meanwhile, Romania and Poland scrambled (緊急起飛) fighter jets in response to the attacks. Russia claims the strikes targeted Ukrainian energy facilities and military-industrial targets in retaliation (報復) for Kyiv's actions. Brazil NPO: Crime Groups Expanding in Amazon A prominent nonprofit group in Brazil says that criminal gangs expanded their presence in the Brazilian Amazon last year and are now operating in nearly half of the region's municipalities. The Brazilian Forum on Public Safety says the growth of these crime groups in the region, where U.N. climate talks are currently taking place, is driving violence and threatens the preservation of the world's largest tropical rainforest. The nonprofit says organized crime groups are now active in 45-percent of over 770 municipalities. That's a jump of 32% from last year's report. The NPO says combating organized crime in the Amazon will require a focus on alternate ways of developing the region besides “predatory exploitation (剝削，開發利用) of resources.” That was the I.C.R.T.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, though fraught with broken promises and setbacks, currently holds. Meanwhile, the United States faces troubling developments, particularly the rise of antisemitism within conservative circles and some Christian churches. How should Christians respond to this unsettling trend?

This week President Erdogan said Turkey had entered a ‘new juncture' in the Kurdish peace process, signalling he was open to the idea of jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan addressing lawmakers. In another startling move, he also suggested that he was open to the release of the jailed Kurdish politician Selahattin Demirtaş. Lisel Hintz, Assistant Professor of International Relations at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and an expert on Turkey, joins Thanos Davelis to break down what these steps could mean for the Kurdish peace process.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Erdoğan says Turkey has entered ‘new juncture' in Kurdish peace processIonian Sea gas exploration deal a ‘vote of confidence'Greece deepens US energy ties with first gas exploration deal in 40 yearsAnkara dismisses Eurofighter use conditions

In this episode of Middle East Focus, hosts Alistair Taylor and Matthew Czekaj are joined by MEI Senior Fellow Gönül Tol to discuss democratic backsliding in Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The conversation explores how Erdoğan's crackdown against Turkey's opposition has reached new heights, with Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu and other opposition party officials facing politically motivated charges. At the same time, Erdoğan is attacking opposition media, deepening talks with Kurdish leaders, and strengthening ties with the West — all with, at least in part, an eye to extending his rule beyond 2028. Tol unpacks the government's strategy, the risks to Turkish democracy, and what Erdoğan's growing international prominence means for the country's political future.    Recorded on November 4, 2025.   Read Gönül Tol's analysis of how Erdoğan uses Turkey's role on the global stage to tighten his grip on power here.   Listen to Rethinking Democracy here. 

More than 25 percent of countries around the world are currently governed by populists, from Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, to Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, and Donald Trump in the United States. Based on these findings, populism is at an all-time high, and taking a significant economic toll, according to a recent paper by Christoph Trebesch and his co-authors.Trebesch is Professor of Economics at Kiel University. He and his co-authors find that populism leads to slower economic growth, undermines democratic institutions, and can leave the country more vulnerable to future populist governments.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, On Monday's Mark Levin Show, 7 million old hippies turned out in the Democrat-Marxist-Islamist No Kings mini-parades on Saturday? Well, 330 million Americans did not. The tea party movements had massive rallies, and it wasn't just one day. How is this President a king? He's working through the courts when he's blocked on improving America. For example, in a victory for America the 9th Circuit court ruled that the National Guard can be deployed in Portland. Also, Democrats turned a continuing resolution into a government shutdown blackmail threat to reverse provisions of the big, beautiful bill. Later, Marxist-Islamist Zohran Mamdani is pro-terrorism - from his associations with Imam Siraj Wahaj, his support for Hamas, his calls to globalize the Intifada, and his ties to the Qatar royal family. If people in NYC vote for Mamdani, they are voting for somebody who embraces terrorists, terrorist organizations, and hence, by implication, terrorism. Mamdani is no moderate, he's a grave threat to the people in New York City. Phase II of the Gaza peace plan is the most challenging due to Hamas, which refuses to disarm or leave Gaza, abuses Palestinians, murders IDF soldiers, and repeatedly violates the ceasefire. Despite warnings from President Trump of potential obliteration, Hamas persists. Qatar's emir, a major Hamas funder and host to its leaders, accuses Israel of genocide and ceasefire breaches while calling for a Palestinian state. Turkey's Erdogan similarly harbors Hamas leaders, threatens Israel, and takes provocative actions. The ceasefire must be enforced urgently to stop ongoing murders and torture, and support should be given to Trump if he orders military action against Hamas. Mass legal and illegal immigration without assimilation causes profound cultural and societal changes, leading to a dark period in Western societies where Marxist-Islamist ideology smothers Enlightenment values. You can see this in NYC where foreign-born voters overwhelmingly support socialist-Islamist immigrant candidate Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. The Democrat Party relies on Marxist-socialist beliefs for power, abandoning the American founding, Declaration, Constitution, separation of powers, and genuine elections, instead favoring unelected judges, bureaucracy, and massive government spending to control the people. Later, Zohran Mamdani got his butt kicked at the NYC debate. He's a sloganeer, which is typical of Marxists, but he won't be substantive at all. Learn more about your ad choices.

Later, Jeffrey Rosen calls in to discuss his new book, The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America. Rosen explains the enduring clash between Hamilton's vision of a strong federal government and powerful executive, and Jefferson's emphasis on states' rights and individual liberties.  Also, Phase two of the Gaza peace plan is highly complex involving numerous countries, governments, and figures like Trump, Kushner, Netanyahu, and Dermer, who deserve credit for their efforts. However, Hamas, a terrorist group per its 1988 charter calling for Israel's destruction via jihad, establishment of an Islamic state under Sharia, rejection of negotiations, and anti-Semitic rhetoric, refuses to disarm or surrender, instead centralizing power by torturing and killing challengers among Palestinians. The world, including the UN, universities, and Hamas supporters, remains silent on Hamas's slaughter of fellow Palestinians. Qatar's Emir condemns Israel as committing genocide in Gaza, reaffirms support for Palestine without denouncing Hamas, while Turkey's Erdogan blocks Netanyahu from a regional meeting. Israel previously surrounded and nearly destroyed Hamas but withdrew for peace and international pressure; now, hesitant Arab/Muslim nations refuse troops in Gaza, leaving Israel and the IDF to eliminate Hamas for lasting peace.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Phase II of the Gaza peace plan is the most challenging due to Hamas, which refuses to disarm or leave Gaza, abuses Palestinians, murders IDF soldiers, and repeatedly violates the ceasefire. Despite warnings from President Trump of potential obliteration, Hamas persists. Qatar's emir, a major Hamas funder and host to its leaders, accuses Israel of genocide and ceasefire breaches while calling for a Palestinian state. Turkey's Erdogan similarly harbors Hamas leaders, threatens Israel, and takes provocative actions. The ceasefire must be enforced urgently to stop ongoing murders and torture, and support should be given to Trump if he orders military action against Hamas. Also, Democrats are keeping the government shutdown by continuing to block a non-controversial continuing resolution to try and blackmail Republicans to approve $1.5 trillion in additional spending. This will generate massive debt—similar to the phony Inflation Reduction Act—leading to inflation, higher prices for gasoline, food, mortgages, and credit cards, ultimately harming average citizens and future generations. Later, Zohran Mandami must be defeated in New York's upcoming mayoral race. He dodges questions on Hamas support; campaigns with Imam Siraj Wahaj, who served as a character witness for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind and called for jihad.

PREVIEW HEADLINE: The Islamist Strongman: Why Erdogan Cannot Be Trusted in Gaza Peacekeeping Efforts GUEST NAME: Jonathan Schanzer, Foundation for Defense of Democracies 100-WORD SUMMARY: John Batchelor and Jonathan Schanzer discuss the highly problematic role of Turkish President Erdogan, who is described as a strongman, autocrat, and dictator hostile to U.S. and Israeli interests. Schanzer expresses concern about the potential for Turkish troops on the ground in Gaza to enforce peace, noting that Turkey previously sponsored Hamas and called for a Muslim coalition to attack Israel. Erdogan provides sanctuary to the Muslim Brotherhood (the "mother ship of Hamas") and is an Islamist to his core. He has supported ISIS and Hamas and helped Iran evade sanctions. While Donald Trump has attempted to co-opt Erdogan to make Turkey a more constructive player, Schanzer is concerned this strategy will fail, believing it runs against Erdogan's fundamental nature. 1879 OTTOMANS
