    En France, les femmes représentent plus de la moitié des personnes migrantes. Pourtant, leurs parcours demeurent largement invisibles. Elles sont invisibles dans les statistiques et invisibles dans les récits. Cette invisibilité n'est pas anodine : elle influence les politiques d'accueil et occulte les réalités spécifiques de l'exil féminin – violences subies avant, pendant et parfois après le trajet, isolement, précarité, accès limité aux soins et au logement.  Rendre visibles ces femmes, c'est reconnaître leurs droits et leurs besoins particuliers. C'est aussi interroger nos pratiques, nos représentations et les choix collectifs que nous faisons. Que signifie «sortir de l'ombre» pour celles qui vivent l'exil au féminin ? Et comment, concrètement, leur permettre de trouver leur place dans la société ?  Avec :  • Maëlle Lena, directrice du Plaidoyer International de France terre d'asile  • Julia Dumont, journaliste spécialiste des questions de migration pour le média spécialisé infomigrants.net et FRANCE24. Le portrait d'une femme migrante par Raphaëlle Constant. Patricia Carolle Maneng's, 34 ans, est Camerounaise, doctorante en Relations internationales et militante féministe. En 2019, cette maman de 2 enfants a créé «Girls Empowerment for Leadership Association» pour lutter contre les violences sexuelles dans les conflits au Cameroun. Patricia est alors venue en France, en janvier 2024, dans le cadre du programme Initiative Marianne pour les défenseurs des droits de l'homme, un programme de 6 mois pour fédérer les acteurs engagés du monde entier. Mais cette visibilité et ses prises de position lui ont valu des menaces d'instances camerounaises. Alors d'un commun accord avec l'État français, il a été décidé pour sa sécurité qu'elle ne pouvait pas repartir au Cameroun. Grâce au programme Marianne, elle a été soutenue et accompagnée par les autorités françaises et les organisations de droits de l'homme pour obtenir le statut de réfugiée sous protection internationale.  En deuxième partie d'émission et à l'occasion des 30 ans des clubs RFI, nous changerons de perspective pour parler de la place des femmes dans ces clubs à travers des témoignages et des initiatives qui favorisent leur expression et leur engagement.  Avec : • Lovelie Stanley Numa, ancienne Présidente du Club RFI de Delmas en Haïti • Nicole Bahati, présidente du Club RFI de Bukavu en RDC.

    Est-ce que vous vous dites souvent : “J'ai encore été trop gentille” ?Vous vous adaptez, vous arrondissez les angles… et après coup, vous êtes pleine de ressentiment, vous vous en voulez, et vous jurez : jamais plus !… avant de recommencer dès la prochaine situation relationnelle un peu tendue.Dans cet épisode, je vous propose un regard totalement différent sur ce phénomène.Parce que ce qu'on appelle souvent “être trop gentille” n'a rien à voir avec un manque d'assertivité… et tout à voir avec un mécanisme de protection profondément ancré dans votre système nerveux.Nous allons parler du people-pleasing, ou la peur de déplaire : cette façon de vous suradapter pour éviter la tension, la déception ou la colère de l'autre. Ce réflexe n'a rien d'un défaut ou un manque de caractère.C'est une stratégie que votre système nerveux autonome a développée pour vous garder en sécurité — parfois depuis l'enfance, parfois à travers des relations où vous ne saviez pas encore comment faire respecter vos limites.Dans cet épisode, vous allez comprendre :Pourquoi “trop gentille” est un diagnostic trompeurComment distinguer vraie gentillesse et “gentillesse utilitaire”Comment cette stratégie vous protège à court terme… mais vous épuise à long termeEt surtout, je vous propose une approche en trois étapes pour sortir doucement de ce schéma. Pas pour devenir dure ou inflexible, mais pour retrouver votre authenticité, votre énergie et votre place dans vos relations.Ressource offerte :Si vous voulez apprendre à avoir les conversations qui vous font peur — celles où vous dites enfin ce que vous pensez — télécharger gratuitement Le guide des conversations difficiles sur : http://changemavie.com/conversationVous pouvez aussi :

    PREVIEW — Charles Burton — China-Canada Relations, Mark Carney's Government, and the Failure to Address Foreign Influence Operations. Burton analyzes Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's approach to China, suggesting Carney believes that making concessions on Chinese espionage and harassment—and delaying implementation of the Foreign Influence Registry (FIRA)—will prompt China to open its markets. Historically, this diplomatic strategy has proven ineffective; China routinely offers empty promises while continuing coercive operations, exposing Canada's critical vulnerability to foreign influence campaigns and intelligence operations. 1910 OTTAWA

    What is the true structure of reality? In his fourth appearance on Mind-Body Solution, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman returns with the most significant update yet to Conscious Realism: trace logic, decorated permutations, the emergence of spacetime from networks of conscious agents, and the strongest mathematical progress so far toward deriving Minkowski space from consciousness itself. Across nearly three hours, we explore what has changed in Hoffman's thinking since our last dialogue two years ago: breakthroughs in the trace-order formalism, new clarifications on evolution and perception, deeper implications for identity and suffering, and the surprising philosophical consequences of consciousness being fundamental. This is Hoffman at his most refined - technically rigorous, personally honest, and metaphysically bold.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) — Intro(03:12) — What has changed in Hoffman's thinking in the last two years?

    After meeting on the sidelines of the G20 in South Africa, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have announced they would restart trade talks.It's a long way from where the two countries have been for the last several years. Relations blew up in 2023 after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused agents of India's government of being involved in the murder of a Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.Then, last year, the RCMP publicly accused such agents of being involved in a campaign of homicides, extortions and threats targeting the South Asian community on Canadian soil. Recently, the director of CSIS suggested that the problem hasn't gone away.In B.C.'s Lower Mainland, over 100 reports of extortion were made in the last year.Two CBC reporters who have been covering this issue give us a closer look at what exactly has been happening on the ground in Canada, particularly when it comes to extortion, who might be behind it, and how this all connects to the larger context of a thawing relationship with India.Baneet Braich is based out of Abbotsford, B.C.

    La tournée d'Emmanuel Macron intéresse aussi bien la presse africaine, que la presse panafricaine. Le président français a entamé sa visite par l'Ile Maurice, il se rendra ensuite en Afrique du Sud, en Angola et au Gabon. « Quel message Macron veut-il envoyer au continent ? » Afrik.com. Pour le site d'information panafricain, le président français veut « redéfinir la relation entre la France et le continent », « loin des enjeux militaires qui ont marqué l'actualité récente au Sahel, Emmanuel Macron cherche à impulser de nouvelles « dynamiques », en privilégiant des partenariats plus équilibrés, axés sur la jeunesse, l'économie et le travail mémoriel ». « L'Elysée insiste sur l'objectif de valoriser "le renouvellement de la relation franco-africaine" ». Une visite commentée avec une certaine ironie par la presse burkinabé. « Chassée du Sahel, la France à la recherche d'un second souffle », titre le Pays, selon lequel « les temps ont changé, et c'est tant mieux si la France et ses dirigeants ont compris que ce qu'ils faisaient il y a de cela 40 ou 50 ans en arrière, n'est plus possible aujourd'hui. » Ce qui n'empêche pas l'Observateur Paalga de se demander si « le coq gaulois est à la recherche d'une nouvelle basse-cour », et d'affirmer que « la France ne veut pas faire le deuil d'un passé de conquérant d'empires et de marchés coloniaux ». Relations au beau fixe Jeune Afrique, de son côté, se projette dans la visite d'Emmanuel Macron, dimanche, au Gabon. « Entre Oligui N'guema et Macron, coulisses de retrouvailles très attendues », titre Jeune Afrique, « l'occasion de renforcer encore les liens entre la France avec l'un de ses derniers alliés sur le continent ». « Un tête-à-tête est prévu entre Emmanuel Macron et Brice Oligui N'guema », avec lequel les relations semblent au beau fixe. « Soucieux de préserver ses liens avec le palais du Bord de mer dans un contexte de perte de popularité de la France sur le continent africain, (nous dit Jeune Afrique) l'exécutif français a apporté tout au long de la transition son soutien à la politique de Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema. Par conséquent, la diplomatie française se garde bien de commenter la décision de la justice gabonaise qui vient de condamner par contumace Sylvia et Nourredine Bongo à vingt ans de prison ». Légitimité Au Cameroun, l'actualité politique porte toujours sur la dernière élection présidentielle. C'est tout d'abord, pour le site Actu Cameroun, une interview de l'avocate Alice Nkom, figure de l'opposition au Cameroun, qui apporte son soutien à Issa Tchiroma Bakary, lequel revendique toujours la victoire à la dernière élection présidentielle et qui appelle ce vendredi à « une journée ville morte ». Maître Alice Nkom ne mâche pas ses mots : « Lorsque vous avez le peuple avec vous, vous avez forcément la légitimité », a-t-elle dit dans un entretien avec la Deutsche Welle, en ajoutant : « Peu importe ce que le voleur en a fait, il restera le voleur ». L'avocate, ajoute Actu Cameroun, estime qu'Issa Tchiroma Bakary « bénéficie d'une légitimité populaire », « s'il dit au peuple venez dans la rue, c'est votre bureau, le peuple ira dans la rue ».   Le Journal du Cameroun de son côté, s'intéresse à la diaspora. « La diaspora camerounaise combattante pour le changement adresse ses félicitations au candidat à l'élection présidentielle pour sa "victoire" ». La diaspora camerounaise qui se manifeste donc « six semaines après la tenue du scrutin », remarque le Journal du Cameroun, « justifiant son silence par la « confusion créée et entretenue par (…) le mauvais perdant M. Paul Biya ».

Guests: Kelly Curry and Gordon Chang. Kelly Curry and Gordon Chang detailed China's crucial role in the global drug trade, asserting that China's chemical exports are fueling a "tsunami of meth" across Asia. Chinese manufacturers supply meth precursor chemicals to warlords, notably the Chinese-aligned, US-sanctioned United Wa State Army in Myanmar. This production (Yaba/ice) is believed to have been diverted from China's domestic market in the 1990s. Both guests confirmed this activity is impossible without the explicit knowledge and support of the Central Committee, noting China grants export subsidies, tax rebates, and uses state banks for money laundering associated with the drug trade. China benefits financially and strategically by weakening US-backed allies like Thailand and South Korea who are flooded with the drugs. This structure mirrors the fentanyl crisis in North America, and experts predict increasing co-production and sharing of chemical methods between Asian drug groups and Mexican cartels. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Syria's Complex Geopolitics: Air Bases, Sanctions, Accountability, and Great Power Mediation Guest: Ahmad Sharawi Ahmad Sharawi discussed the non-transparent situation in Syria, focusing on reports of potential US air bases (Mezzeh and Dumayr), with denials from the Syrian government suggesting they won't possess the bases but might allow US use for counter-ISIS missions or potentially a security agreement requested by Israel for deconfliction, noting a recent US C-130 spotted landing at the Mezzeh air base near Damascus, while during a reported White House visit, Syrian requests included the removal of Caesar sanctions (partially waived by President Trump) and an Israeli withdrawal from the southern border buffer zone, with domestic movement towards accountability for the Suwayda province massacre and government security forces being arrested, as a Russian military delegation visited Damascus and southern Syria, potentially acting as a deconfliction mechanism between Syria and Israeli forces, with Russia's goal appearing to be balancing regional interests while maintaining its bases in western Syria. 1015-1030 CONTINUED Syria's Complex Geopolitics: Air Bases, Sanctions, Accountability, and Great Power Mediation Guest: Ahmad Sharawi Ahmad Sharawi discussed the non-transparent situation in Syria, focusing on reports of potential US air bases (Mezzeh and Dumayr), with denials from the Syrian government... 1030-1045 Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and reportedly wanting to discuss surrender conditions with President Trump, though his exit is complicated by his ally Diosdado Cabello, who heads operations for the Cartel of the Suns and has no path for redemption, while Maduro's potential fall would deliver a severe blow to the organized crime and drug trafficking networks that permeate South America's political structures, with the opposition, led by María Corina Machado, having transition plans, and Brazilian President Lula neutralized from strongly opposing US actions due to ongoing tariff negotiations with Trump, as the conversation highlighted a new conservative political wave in Latin America, with optimism reported in Argentina following elections that strengthened Javier Milei, and in Chile, where conservative José Antonio Kast is strongly positioned, representing a blend of economic freedom, anti-organized crime platforms, and conservative values. 1045-1100 CONTINUED Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and... THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1/4 Jews Versus Rome: Two Centuries of Rebellion and the Cost of Diaspora Revolts Professor Barry Strauss of Cornell University, Professor Emeritus and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, discusses the history of Jewish resistance against the Roman Empire as detailed in his book Jews versus Rome. Following the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem, rebellion continued among Jewish communities scattered across the Roman world. 1115-1130 CONTINUED 2/4 During Emperor Trajan's campaign against the Parthian Empire, a widespread and coordinated "diaspora revolt" erupted in 115–117 AD, beginning in Libya and spreading to Egypt, Cyprus, and Mesopotamia. This was a major challenge, forcing Trajan to divert a legion, as Egypt was the empire's strategic breadbasket. The revolt was spurred by the insulting Jewish tax, the fiscus Judaicus, paid to Jupiter, and the frustrated expectation that the Temple would be rebuilt within 70 years. The Jewish community in Alexandria, possibly the largest Jewish city in the ancient world, was wiped out during the suppression, a disaster for diaspora Judaism. 1130-1145 CONTINUED 3/4 srajan's successor, Hadrian, revered the war against Parthia but recognized the Jews' disloyalty. Starting in 117 AD, Hadrian planned to rebuild Jerusalem as a pagan city named Aelia Capitolina to demonstrate that the Temple would never be restored and to discourage collusion between Jews and Parthians. This provoked the Bar Kokhba Revolt in 132 AD. The leader, Simon Bar Kosa, took the messianic title Bar Kokhba, meaning "Son of the Star," and was accepted as the Messiah by some leading rabbis, including Rabbi Akiva. 1145-1200 CONTINUED The rebels utilized successful asymmetrical warfare, operating from underground tunnel systems and ambushing Roman forces. The conflict was so severe that Hadrian deployed reinforcements from across the empire, including Britain, and the Roman army was badly mauled. The revolt ended bloodily at the stronghold of Betar. As lasting punishment for centuries of trouble and rebellion, the Romans renamed the province from Judea to Syria Palestina. Pockets of resistance continued, notably the Gallus Revolt in 351–352 AD. Guest: Professor Barry Strauss. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Iran's Multi-Faceted Crises: Water Scarcity, Pollution, and Transnational Repression Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discussed the multi-faceted crises plaguing Iran, reflecting poor management and ecological decline, with Tehran overwhelmed by severe water scarcity as dams dry up and crippling air pollution with CO2 levels 10 times the WHO standard, while the water crisis is worsened by the regime, especially IRGC-affiliated contractors, who prioritize their support base through unregulated mega-projects, leading to rivers and lakes drying up, a deliberate deprivation of clean water that constitutes a human rights violation, as environmental disasters have driven widespread internal migration into Tehran, taxing infrastructure and leading to issues like land subsidence, with the population considered "prime for unrest," while separately, Iran continues its policy of transnational repression, highlighted by the recent foiled plot to assassinate Israel's ambassador in Mexico, as Iran targets both Israeli/American officials and relies on criminal networks to repress Iranian dissidents abroad, while consistently holding American dual citizens hostage as political leverage. 1215-1230 CONTINUED 1230-1245 Ukraine Conflict: French Arms Deal, Sabotage, and the Perilous Battle for Pokrovsk. Guest: John Hardy. John Hardy reported that Ukraine signed a letter of intent with France to obtain 100 Rafale warplanes over 10 years, along with air defense systems. While this partnership is encouraging, Hardy expressed concern that Ukraine is excessively over-diversifying its future air fleet (including F-16, Grippen, Mirage, and Rafale) which complicates long-term sustainment and maintenance. Simultaneously, alarming reports surfaced that sabotage was blamed for an explosion on a major railway line in Poland used to supply Ukraine, fitting a pattern of suspected Russian covert operations against European infrastructure. On the battlefield, fighting continues in Pokrovsk (Picro). Hardy warned that if Ukrainian forces prioritize a politically motivated hold, they risk the encirclement and destruction of troops in nearby areas. Poor weather, such as fog, plays a significant role in the conflict, as Russians often time assaults during these conditions to impede Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance and FPV drones 1245-100 AM raq Elections and Yemen's Houthi Crackdown Guest: Bridget Toomey Bridget Toomey discussed recent developments in Iraq and Yemen, noting that Iraqi parliamentary elections saw a higher-than-expected 56% voter turnout, with preliminary results suggesting Shiite parties close to Tehran performed well and might secure enough seats to form the next government, despite internal infighting and votes remaining largely sectarian, while Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received credit for stability and his party performed strongly, though many Iraqis doubt the elections affect real change, believing critical decisions are made via elite backroom deals, and turning to Yemen, the Houthis announced the arrest of a purported Saudi-American-Israeli spy ring, a paranoid crackdown following Israel's successful targeting of Houthi government and military leaders in August, with arrests including 59 UN workers and prosecutors requesting the death sentence for 21, aiming to intimidate domestic dissent and signal resolve to Western and regional adversaries, especially in sensitive Houthi locations in Sana'a.

    What is the difference between contemporary dance and performance art?This fusion finds profound representation in the work of VestAndPage, the renowned artist duo comprising Verena Stenke (Germany) and Andrea Pagnes (Italy). Since their founding in 2006, VestAndPage has redefined contemporary performance art through their exploration of social, political, and environmental themes. Their work delves into fragility, memory activation, and transformation, heavily influenced by their backgrounds in philosophy and theater. In 2020, they released their Manifesto on Performance-Based Filmmaking: Poetics of Relations as a video article in the Journal of Embodied Research, solidifying their thought leadership in performance art and filmmaking. Their art transcends traditional boundaries, incorporating formats such as “collective performance operas” and “temporary artistic communities” that inspire collaboration and connection. Since 2021, Verena and Andrea have extended their influence as founders and co-directors of the Venice International Performance Art Week. In this episode, we explored how to navigate across artistic disciplines and roles and discussed the importance of viewing the world through an alternative lens. Their insights remind us that art is not just about the performance — it's about the deeper, evolving conversation it sparks.

    C dans l'air du 14 novembre 2025 - Budget: dépenses partout, économies nulle partLe budget va-t-il être voté à l'Assemblée nationale ? Déjà très serré, le calendrier des discussions budgétaires a été rendu encore plus complexe par la décision du gouvernement de ne pas faire siéger les députés au cours du week-end. La gauche a immédiatement dénoncé cette décision, certains députés accusant l'exécutif de chercher à empêcher la tenue d'un vote.Sur la partie du budget de l'État consacrée aux recettes, un vote était initialement prévu lundi prochain. Mais « au rythme auquel nous avançons, il est évident que lundi nous ne terminerons pas les 1 900 amendements » restants sur ce premier volet, a déclaré jeudi le ministre des Relations avec le Parlement, Laurent Panifous. D'autre part, « nous devons également tenir compte de la fatigue qui existe chez les députés, chez les collaborateurs, chez les administrateurs » de l'Assemblée, a-t-il ajouté dans l'hémicycle, précisant avoir été « saisi » par plusieurs groupes sur la question. Les débats ne se poursuivront donc pas « samedi et dimanche », a-t-il annoncé, mais reprendront lundi dès 9 h, au lieu du milieu de journée.Cette décision est jugée « inacceptable » par la cheffe des députés écologistes, Cyrielle Chatelain, qui a accusé l'exécutif « d'organiser […] le fait que cette assemblée ne puisse pas se prononcer sur le budget ». « Ne prenez pas prétexte de la fatigue des uns et des autres pour nous empêcher de pouvoir voter sur le budget de l'État », a abondé le coordinateur de La France insoumise, Manuel Bompard.L'ensemble du texte doit être transmis au Sénat le 23 novembre à minuit, selon les délais constitutionnels. S'il semble clair que les députés n'auront pas le temps d'aller au bout, un vote sur la seule partie “recettes” n'est pas non plus assuré.Faute de temps, les députés n'ont déjà pas voté le projet de loi de financement de la Sécurité sociale. Les débats ont été interrompus à l'Assemblée nationale dans la nuit du mercredi 12 au jeudi 13 novembre, et c'est le texte modifié par les amendements des députés qui va être examiné par le Sénat à partir de la semaine prochaine. Et pour le ministre du Travail, le compte n'y est pas. D'un « déficit de 17,5 milliards d'euros » prévu initialement par le gouvernement, les députés sont passés à un déficit « d'environ 24,3 milliards d'euros », a expliqué Jean-Pierre Farandou dans les colonnes du Parisien. À ce stade, « il nous manque beaucoup d'économies que l'on a du mal à faire voter », a-t-il reconnu.Selon les calculs du rapporteur général de la commission des Affaires sociales, Thibault Bazin (LR), les changements apportés par l'Assemblée nationale au projet de budget de la Sécurité sociale pour 2026 creuseraient son déficit de 6,8 milliards d'euros.Parmi ces amendements figure le rejet d'une taxe exceptionnelle sur les contrats des complémentaires santé, le maintien des exonérations de cotisations pour les apprentis, la suspension de la réforme des retraites de 2023, la suppression du gel des pensions…Autant de points qui ont suscité une levée de boucliers ces dernières semaines, notamment chez les retraités qui ont, fait rare, manifesté la semaine dernière dans les rues de France. Nous sommes allés à la rencontre de plusieurs retraités qui ont manifesté le 6 novembre dernier à Granville, dans la Manche.La colère gagne également les agriculteurs qui se disent à nouveau prêts à se mobiliser après les propos d'Emmanuel Macron sur le Mercosur. Ces derniers sont vent debout contre le traité de libre-échange en discussion entre l'Europe et les pays d'Amérique latine, qu'ils jugent néfaste pour eux.

    Canada's Troubled Relations with China and the US. Charles Burton (author of The Beaver and the Dragon) analyzes Canadian Prime Minister Carney's meeting with China's Xi Jinping following the APEC conference. Burton described Carney as a "supplicant" who echoed Chinese rhetoric of "constructive and pragmatic interactions," which means focusing on trade while avoiding criticism. Issues discussed included Chinese tariffs on Canadian canola and Canada's tariffs on subsidized Chinese EVs. Burton addresses the severely strained Ottawa-Washington relationship due to US tariffs and President Trump's stated unwillingness to talk, feeding "anti-American sentiment" in Canada. This trade uncertainty is a factor in Canada's massive budget deficit, which aims to fund government infrastructure to compensate for lacking investor interest. Furthermore, concerns persist in Canada regarding Chinese EVs potentially functioning as "listening posts" for state security. 1907

Peter Berkowitz (Hoover Institution Fellow and educator) discusses the Trump administration's "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education," which requires universities to meet ten priorities to qualify for federal benefits like student loans and research grants. While many goals are proper or already legally required (like protecting free speech and obeying civil rights laws), several are highly controversial. These controversial points include demanding that hiring decisions be made solely on individual "merit," which critics redefine to include group diversity, and requiring universities to maintain institutional neutrality on political issues. Most universities rejected the compact, asserting it would impair academic freedom. Berkowitz suggests the administration should use direct financial incentives to reward universities that actively teach free speech, rather than relying on mandates. 945-1000 The Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 US-China Ceasefire and Competition in Technology and Space. Jack Burnham (Foundation for Defense of Democracies research analyst) characterizes the Trump-Xi meeting as a necessary "truce" that allows both nations to gain stability and strengthen their positions before the next escalation. Regarding rare earths, China is now employing the US "playbook," setting up a licensing structure rather than a full trade cessation. He emphasizes that building a complete rare earth supply chain outside of China, especially refining capacity, may realistically take seven to ten years. In technology, Beijing is pushing for domestic self-sufficiency in AI infrastructure, partly driven by paranoia that imported chips may contain backdoors or vulnerabilities. Burnham also details China's commitment to militarizing space, including copying US reconnaissance capabilities and practicing anti-satellite operations like "dogfighting." 1015-1030 US-China Ceasefire and Competition in Technology and Space.

Spencer Klavan (Associate Editor of the Claremont Review of Books) reviews Michael M. Rosen's book, Like Silicon from Clay, which uses ancient Jewish wisdom, specifically the Golem legend, to analyze AI. Rosen categorizes AI believers into four camps: autonomists (who believe AI will achieve consciousness or sentience) and automationists (who view AI as a sophisticated, non-conscious tool). Both camps are divided into "positive" (optimistic) and "negative" (pessimistic) outlooks. Klavan identifies as a positive automationist, seeing AI as an "elaborate adding machine" or "better Google" that is helpful but requires human verification because it often "hallucinates" (makes up facts). He notes that chatbots conclude conversations with questions because they need human input to avoid becoming "deranged" and to improve their ability to predict human speech patterns. 1045-1100 AI Philosophy and Jewish Wisdom.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 US Military Operations off Venezuela and the War in Ukraine. General Blaine Holt (United States Air Force retired) analyzes the significant US military buildup off Venezuela, headquartered at Roosevelt Roads, describing it as a "war-winning force" primarily targeting cartels and sending a global message of American might. He suggests that operations will likely use commando-style tactics rather than a full occupation, potentially leveraging historical events like the Bay of Pigs as cover for unconventional approaches. The conversation pivots to Ukraine, where Russia is effectively using new glide bombs and missiles, having shifted to a wartime mobilization economy. Holt notes the profound erosion of Ukraine's infrastructure and the demoralizing lack of manpower. He argues innovative, inexpensive defenses, such as Reaper drones with Sidewinders or lasers, are needed, as current air defense economics are unsustainable. 1115-1130 US Military Operations off Venezuela and the War in Ukraine.

Alex Pollock (Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute) discusses Kenneth Rogoff's book, Our Currency, Your Problem, focusing on why the US dollar remains the dominant global currency. The dollar's strength is linked to US military power and superior legal and bankruptcy systems, which provide essential "social infrastructure." Pollock recalls the famous quip, "Our currency, your problem," made by Treasury Secretary John Connally in 1971 after the US defaulted on its gold obligations under the Bretton Woods system. Challenges from the Chinese renminbi and crypto are noted, but Rogoff finds serious institutional flaws in China's system. Critically, the growing US national debt is identified as the dollar's "Achilles heel," posing a major threat if global lenders stop lending. 1145-1200 The Dominance of the US Dollar and Its Challenges.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 1215-1230 1230-1245 Private Space Enterprise, Artemis Debate, and the Human Body in Space. Bob Zimmerman (Behind the Black) reviews the private space sector, highlighting VAST, which is developing the small manned demo space station Haven One using its own investment capital, unlike other NASA-funded consortiums. VAST's larger planned station, Haven 2, is designed to rotate, creating artificial gravity. This capability is crucial for mitigating the damage extended weightlessness causes the human body, such as cardiovascular weakening, bone density loss, and vision problems (the eye flattens). Zimmerman notes the ongoing debate over NASA's Artemis program, where former administrators clash over SpaceX's ability to build the lunar lander on time, often driven by lobbying interests. He also reports that China recently set a new national record for successful launches in a single year (67 completed). 1245-100 AM Private Space Enterprise, Artemis Debate, and the Human Body in Space.
