In this week's episode of This Week in AML, John Byrne and Elliot Berman discuss the renewed push for a bipartisan U.S. sanctions bill targeting Russia and compare its approach to the European Union's existing sanctions framework. They also examine new guidance from federal banking agencies on lending to non-work authorized. The conversation explores a notable difference in the Federal Reserve's proposed AML program rule, highlights key findings from Europol's latest EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report, and reviews a Transparency International report examining the illicit finance risks associated with cryptocurrency and stablecoins. John and Elliot also discuss developments involving a high-profile IRS lawsuit and Florida's proposed designation of certain organizations as terrorist entities.

President Trump said on Monday the U.S. is “taking over” the Strait of Hormuz from Iran. Speaking to ‘Fox & Friends' the President saying: “We're taking over the strait. They have nothing. They've got nothing.” He said the U.S. held meetings with Iran for 11 hours on Sunday “and everything was agreed to” but Iran later demanded changes.EU countries have yet to reach agreement on a broad 21st package of sanctions against Russia, but may decide on Monday (July 13) to add 250 individuals and entities to their Russia sanctions list, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said.
The Buck Stops Here kicks off with a patriotic anthem from Tom MacDonald before Dan Buck turns serious, honoring Senator Lindsey Graham by demanding Congress finish what he started. Dan Buck lays out the urgent case for passing Graham's Russia sanctions bill and the Save America Act, calling out Senate Majority Leader John Thune for inaction and warning Democrats to filibuster in plain view if they oppose common-sense voter ID laws. Plus, Dan and Marc Cox weigh in on who should — and definitely should not — fill Graham's Senate seat, taking direct aim at Nancy Mace's ambitions. This is a rallying cry for accountability and election integrity you need to hear.

Senator Lindsey Graham died suddenly at age 71 just hours after returning from his tenth wartime visit to Ukraine. In this urgent special episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings examines the facts: Graham's meetings with Zelenskyy, drone factory tour, and fresh Russia sanctions push with the Trump administration.Doug breaks down the documented assassination threats: IRGC target posters at Khamenei's funeral naming Graham, Trump, and Laura Loomer (“your heads will roll”), Iranian propaganda claiming credit with a grotesque video, and Putin advisor Alexander Dugin's prior calls to “flatten” Graham.Doug delivers a powerful, faith-rooted rebuke to anyone celebrating the death — especially those claiming to be conservatives: Taking joy in any human death is demonic possession. No salvation for the unrepentant. True conservatism defends the dignity of life.This isn't conspiracy — it's documented threats plus suspicious timing. We demand full toxicology, FBI investigation, and continued pressure on the Iranian regime and Russian enablers.If you're tired of media spin and want unfiltered conservative analysis grounded in faith and truth, this episode is for you.Ladies & Gentlemen: The Right Side is now upon you!

In this episode of This Week in AML, Elliot and John unpack a busy week in global financial crime and enforcement. They start with Italy's latest FATF mutual evaluation, exploring what regulators praised, where weaknesses remain, and what it might signal for other jurisdictions. The conversation then shifts to the EU's newly adopted Russia sanctions package, including expanded financial and crypto restrictions and fresh anti-circumvention tools. They also highlight key investigations and enforcement actions from France, Moldova, Switzerland, and the OCCRP's latest reporting. In the U.S., the discussion turns to prediction markets, as the CFTC sues New York over regulatory authority, and a controversial DOJ case involving alleged insider betting raises thorny questions about national security, ethics, and enforcement priorities. The episode closes with updates on DOJ staffing cuts, recent indictments, and transparency litigation tied to the Epstein files.
On this episode of the Trade Guys, Bill and Scott react to the recently announced U.S. critical minerals stockpile and a broader effort to work with allies on price floors.

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on January 12th 2026. You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio. Presenter/producer: Kris Boswell.
On today's podcast:1) President Trump ordered a blockade of sanctioned oil tankers going into and leaving Venezuela, ratcheting up pressure on Caracas as the US builds up its military presence in the region. The move threatens to choke off the economic lifeblood of a country that was already under severe financial pressure. But it will have a less profound impact on global markets due to the diminished status of Venezuela’s oil industry. The OPEC member’s crude output has slumped about 70% through more than 25 years of socialist rule to less than 1 million barrels a day. It could potentially rebound if the governing regime were to change.2) The US is preparing a fresh round of sanctions on Russia’s energy sector to increase the pressure on Moscow should President Vladimir Putin reject a peace agreement with Ukraine, according to people familiar with the matter. The US is considering options, such as targeting vessels in Russia’s so-called shadow fleet of tankers used to transport Moscow’s oil, as well as traders who facilitate the transactions, said the people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. The new measures could be unveiled as early as this week.3) OpenAI is in initial discussions to raise at least $10 billion from Amazon.com Inc. and use its chips, a potential win for the online retailer’s effort to broaden its AI industry presence and compete with Nvidia Corp. The deal under discussion could value OpenAI north of $500 billion and see it adopt Amazon’s Trainium chip, a person with knowledge of the matter said, asking to remain anonymous to describe private negotiations. Talks, however, are at a preliminary stage and terms could change, the person added. A deal would mark a win for Amazon’s fledgling semiconductor division. While Nvidia dominates the market for the powerful chips required to create AI platforms, developers such as Meta Platforms Inc. are starting to explore rival offerings from the likes of Alphabet Inc.’s Google.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HEADLINE: Ukraine Advances in Sumy, NATO Urged to Boost Russia Sanctions GUEST AND TITLE: John Hardie, Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies SUMMARY: John Hardie discusses Ukrainian advances in the Sumy border area, noting Russia has redeployed better units to other regions like Donetsk, focusing on areas near Pokrovsk. He suggests Ukraine's counterattacks are part of an active defense, and their focus on Pokrovsk is strategically sound despite manpower shortages. Hardie highlights recent massive Russian drone barrages, including one into Poland, as a "wake-up call" for NATO to improve cost-effective air defenses.

He suggests Ukraine's counterattacks are part of an active defense, and their focus on Pokrovsk is strategically sound despite manpower shortages. Hardie highlights recent massive Russian drone barrages, including one into Poland, as a "wake-up call" for NATO to improve cost-effective air defenses. He advocates for stronger US secondary sanctions on Russian oil revenue and untying Ukraine's hands for long-range strikes.

The Royals pulled out a much needed win leading into the All Star Break Sunday. Then, the front office locked in and grabbed a couple high school hitters in the first round of the MLB Draft Sunday night. We have the details. The All Star Game is in Atlanta...four years after MLB wimped out and moved it because Dems were applying pressure. What a joke of a time we lived through and what a relief it's better.

Things are hot in America this summer. And they're only getting hotter. The VA is cutting 30,000 jobs, Trump is threatening to bomb Moscow and Beijing, Hegseth is doing Hegseth things at the Pentagon, and New York City is hovering around one hundred degrees while a socialist is leading in the polls for Mayor. Shit is toasty and it's only gonna get hotter. And your host Paul Rieckhoff is here to tear into all of it with a cool head and light to contrast the heat of the mayhem, spin and partisanship. And as the mayor's race in New York continues to heat up and show how broken America's politics and two parties are, there's some news for 2026 that is a contrast to the crazy. Independent vet Dan Osborn has announced he's again running for US Senate in Nebraska—and after a historic showing as an independent last year, he's hitting the ground running. That now makes three independent vet candidates for Senate running next year. You've already heard from Brian Bengs in Episode 334 and we're pretty sure you'll be hearing from Dan in short order. But today we've got the third candidate, and he's one that might just make the most noise. Because he left the Democratic Party and announced his run as an independent just before July 4th. He's more evidence of the move away from the parties and towards the independent movement. He's Todd Achilles, independent veteran candidate for Senate from the great state of Idaho. He grew up on a family farm, served in the U.S. Army as a tank commander and armor officer and led teams at T-Mobile, Hewlett-Packard, and several start-ups. He's now a teacher and advocate for veterans and is running to fight for fair markets and livable wages for all Idahoans. And he's a moderate, common-sense, patriotic, strong breath of fresh air. It's the kind of campaign we love to see and the kind of candidate we love to share with you—the real independent Americans. Things are heating up in the independent movement from the push for open primaries to the wave of new candidates. And a lot of it is thanks to the listeners of this show.
