Air Date: 8/16/2026 Today we look at what Toni Morrison called "sanctioned ignorance," the deliberate manufacture of a version of the past that keeps citizens from connecting the dots between what their government did then and what it's doing now. They're doing it by attacking museums, libraries, and everyone dedicated to ensuring that people have access to accurate information because that's what it takes to implement authoritarian control over a society. It's also the reason that countries under authoritarian rule suffer from the lack of benefits that comes with the free exchange of ideas. Full Show Notes Transcript Be part of the show!

Who controls the land of Israel, and who gets to decide its future? Naomi Kahn, Director of the International Division of Regavim, joins Pesach and Doug for a wide-ranging conversation about the ongoing struggle over land, sovereignty, and history in Judea and Samaria. Naomi explains why the European Union and Canada have imposed sanctions on Regavim, how those sanctions have affected the organization's ability to operate, and why she believes the issue goes far beyond Regavim itself. She also describes what Regavim says is a systematic, internationally funded effort to establish facts on the ground through illegal Palestinian construction in Area C, and asks why Israel has often failed to enforce its own laws. The conversation then turns to another battlefield: biblical archaeology. Naomi discusses the destruction and neglect of ancient Jewish sites and explains why preserving the physical evidence of biblical history matters not only to Jews and Israelis, but to Christians and anyone who cares about the biblical foundations of Western civilization.

Sanctioned by Russia while still a teenager, Alexander Browder has become a leading voice in the fight against crypto-fueled financial crime. As the founder of the Global Cryptocurrency Laundering Database and author of a Henry Jackson Society report on illicit finance in crypto markets, he reveals how authoritarian regimes are exploiting digital currencies on a staggering scale — from North Korea pulling a third of its government revenue through crypto schemes, to Russia moving billions to fund its war machine.

Sanctioned by the Working Ranch Cowboys Association (WRCA), the event is not your typical rodeo.

The Andersons tell us, “It's a celebration of the authentic working cowboy and the daily life of real ranches across the American West.

Mariam Wahba reports on the brutal persecution of Christians under the Chinese Communist Party's "sinicization" policy. This effort involves rewriting the Bible and mandating state-sanctioned clergy to ensure religion serves the state. Despite this, the underground church continues to grow, posing a challenge to CCP authority. (4)1905 SHANGHAI

People will shoot fireworks this weekend. Is there a safe way to do it? And what happens when they get hurt?

While merchant ships across the world have been manned by Indian seafarers, officers, engineers and crew for years, recent conflicts have suddenly brought Indian seafarers into focus. A recent flashpoint was when the U.S. attacked three ships allegedly carrying Iranian cargo, on the grounds that they were sanctioned vessels. Three Indian seafarers were killed in those attacks. More recently, when the British detained a Russian-linked vessel that was supposedly under Western sanctions in the English Channel, the Indian captain was arrested. This raises an important question: should Indian seafarers continue serving on these so-called sanctioned ships? Guests: Ajith SukumaranRetd.

Privateers and the Deadly Reality of British Prison Ships. Guest: Professor Richard Bell. Privateers were government-sanctioned pirates who caused significant economic damage to the British while the Continental Navystruggled. William Russell, a schoolteacher, joined a privateering vessel but was captured and imprisoned in the HMS Jersey, a floating "black hole" in Brooklyn Bay. Mortality rates on these ships reached fifty percent, making them the deadliest sites of the entire war. Despite the risks, over 50,000 Americans served on privateering missions, illustrating the global commercial impact of the Revolution and the high human cost for those captured by British forces. 21803 OHIO

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore it in greater depth. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss a recent OFAC enforcement action fining FTI Consulting $1.05 million for a sanctions violation involving indirect dealings with Russia's state-owned VTB Bank. FTI provided economic analysis for VTB in litigation, but, knowing VTB was sanctioned, used a law firm as an intermediary to invoice and receive payment, which OFAC said does not avoid liability because prohibitions apply to indirect transactions as well as direct ones. OFAC doubled the base penalty of $525,000 explicitly to promote future compliance by similarly situated companies, signaling strong disapproval of “middleman” structures. The case also involved unpaid invoices that became an impermissible extension of credit to a sanctioned entity, highlighting the need for rigorous contract and payment-term review beyond basic sanctions screening and for dedicated sanctions expertise. Key highlights: Introducing the OFAC Case Middleman Billing Scheme Why Screening Misses Indirect Risk Did Compliance Approve It? OFAC Expectations and Capability Penalty Doubled Warning Shot Unpaid Invoices as Credit Extension Resources: Matt in Radical Compliance Tom Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn A multi-award-winning podcast, Compliance into the Weeds was most recently honored as one of the Top 25 Regulatory Compliance Podcasts, a Top 10 Business Law Podcast, and a Top 12 Risk Management Podcast.

The Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement package on Friday after an overnight vote-a-rama on Capitol Hill. The Senate voted 52–47 to approve the legislation, with no support from ‌Democrats. The bill funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol through the remainder of President Donald Trump's second term, and now heads to the House. The legislation follows months of partisan clashes over immigration enforcement and Homeland Security funding.The United States imposed new sanctions on Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel, his wife, and several other officials on Thursday. The move follows a broader sanctions push under Trump aimed at increasing pressure on the Cuban government over repression and national security concerns. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism for decades, accusing the regime of recruiting, training, and backing violent Marxist movements across the hemisphere and beyond.Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called the sanctions "despicable" in a post on social media, describing them as the latest example of U.S. interventionism. "Every U.S. action aimed ​at creating a ​scenario of ⁠conflict between the two countries is doomed to failure," Rodriguez said.Trump has announced plans for what he calls "The Greatest Rally, Ever" in Washington, as part of celebrations marking America's 250th anniversary. The president says the event will feature patriotic music, military bands, and performances by Lee Greenwood and Christopher Macchio. The president is also promoting a series of restoration and construction projects across the capital, including repairs to fountains and the iconic Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

On May 17, the President promulgated an ordinance increasing the sanctioned strength of the Supreme Court from 34 to 38 judges. The ordinance is expected to be tabled during the Monsoon Session of Parliament. The move came just days after the Union Cabinet approved the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, stating that the addition of four judges would enable the apex court to function more efficiently and facilitate “speedy justice”. According to data from the National Judicial Data Grid, pendency before the apex court currently stands at a staggering 93,966 cases. Is increasing the Supreme Court's sanctioned strength an effective way to reduce pendency?

On this explosive edition of Light ‘Em Up:We probe and examine the Federal Death Penalty.On Friday, April 17th, 2026, the Trump Administration said it would allow executions by firing squad and restore the use of lethal injections in federal death-penalty cases.The Trump Administration has no problem with:—  dropping missiles on little schoolgirls in Iran—  supplying the weapons that have killed over 72,000 people including women and children in Gaza (since the October 7th, 2023, Hamas attack) — and—  blowing up boats piloted by unarmed civilians off the coast of Venezuela.We ask:  If the federal and state governments have proscriptions against murder, why are they in the business of killing?The fed­er­al death penal­ty applies in all 50 states and U.S. ter­ri­to­ries but is used rel­a­tive­ly rarely.We'll examine the hypocritical facts whereby:—  Most MAGA cult-members are “pro-life”, yet at the same time profess to be “pro-death penalty”. How do those opposites align? Are they just okay with being hypocrites? Does this fact bring them closer to their Orange Jesus?—  Pope Leo XIV says those two ideological positions can't align and they never will.  Pope Leo XIV has stated that, according to Catholic teaching, being against abortion but in favor of the death penalty is not "genuinely pro-life". Church teaching opposes capital punishment as "inadmissible" under all circumstances.Tune in specifically to hear Pope Leo's specific thoughts.We also want to know what YOU think:—  Is the death penalty unfair, especially the way it is applied?—  Are lethal injections saved for the poor?  (As a means of controlling the excess population) that AREN'T in the Epstein Class?—  Is there a racial bias that permeates the entire criminal justice system?—  Is capital punishment an effective deterrent or just an irreversible means of retribution?A firing squad is exceptionally gruesome.Adoption of such a heinous execution practice, however, should surprise no one. This country, from its inception, has had a perverted affination with violence and brutality.On the state level, in South Carolina, the first state to secede from the Union on December 20th, 1860 — the method in the Palmetto state involves three corrections employees firing live rounds from 15 feet away at the condemned inmate, who is in a chair with a target over their heart.As a society, do we really need this?As a case study we look at the execution of Brad Sigmon, who was sentenced to death for the April 2001 murders of Gladys and William David Larke, the parents of his ex-girlfriend, in Greenville, SC.Explore more details on the process, here: How does the firing squad work in South Carolina?On April 24th, 2026, this administration released its official report entitled: Restoring and Strengthening the Federal Death Penalty.  They maintain that “capital punishment is an essential tool for deterring and punishing those who would commit the most heinous crimes and acts of lethal violence against American citizens.”The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) strongly opposes the use of firing squads, viewing them as a "barbaric" and "inhumane" method of execution. The organization advocates for the total abolition of the death penalty, arguing that all forms of capital punishment constitute "cruel and unusual punishment" in violation of the Constitution.Follow our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

Today's Headlines: Contrary to Trump's victory claims, the New York Times reports Iran has effectively destroyed all 13 American military bases in the Middle East, forcing thousands of troops into hotels and office buildings — while the IRGC publicly urged civilians to report their locations. Iranian-linked hackers also accessed FBI Director Kash Patel's personal Gmail, publishing 300+ emails and his resume. The FBI responded with a $10 million bounty. Handala responded with "this is just our beginning." Zelensky, operating on a completely different level, spent the week signing 10-year defense deals with Saudi Arabia and Qatar — trading Ukrainian drone expertise for Patriot missiles — making himself indispensable to countries caught in a war he's not party to. A Yale study revealed Gazprom and Rosneft helped fund and facilitate the forced relocation of over 2,000 Ukrainian children since 2022, with total abductions estimated closer to 20,000. Republican congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna hosted sanctioned Russian State Duma members in Washington — including someone a colleague described as "pretty sure used to be a KGB agent" — arranged Capitol meetings with four members of Congress, and gave them a building tour. Getting sanctioned Russians into the U.S. requires State Department waivers. Marco Rubio runs the State Department. In other news, Trump's golf habit has now cost taxpayers over $100 million in 14 months. The longest partial government shutdown in U.S. history is ending, with TSA workers funded through May 22nd. The DHS inspector general is investigating Noem and Lewandowski over a pay-to-play scandal involving a billion dollars in GEO Group contracts and a FEMA contractor paid $19,000 a week. AI researchers are warning that models including Claude and Copilot will soon enable cyberattacks current defenses can't handle — Anthropic already disclosed a Chinese state group used AI agents to autonomously hack 30 global targets. Someone briefly edited Google Maps so the White House caller ID showed as "Epstein Island." And 413,000 KitKats vanished from a truck between Italy and Poland, driver included, right before Easter.

From the Army smashing recruiting goals and Fort Stewart gunnery training to debates over the Trump-class battleship, carrier flight ops, and Marines earning lifesaving awards off duty, this episode balances news with blunt commentary. Peaches also dives into Air Force leadership travel, the YFQ-48 Alpha designation, Coast Guard infrastructure investments, sanctions enforcement in the Caribbean, and NATO concerns about Russia targeting Starlink with orbital shrapnel.

Today's Headlines: President Donald Trump claims Iran has stopped killing protesters and is reportedly delaying potential U.S. military strikes after warnings from Israel and other allies. Instead, the administration announced new sanctions targeting Iran's Supreme National Security Council chief and 18 others tied to its shadow banking network. The U.S. Coast Guard seized a sixth oil tanker accused of violating sanctions on Venezuelan oil, while opposition leader María Corina Machado visited the White House, saying she presented Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize — despite the Nobel Committee's reminder that prizes aren't transferable. In a Reuters interview, Trump touted his economy as the strongest in history, dismissed polling opposing U.S. control of Greenland as “fake,” brushed off criticism of his investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and questioned midterm elections. Tensions escalated in Minneapolis after an ICE agent shot a man during an attempted arrest. DHS says the man entered the U.S. from Venezuela in 2022 and tried to flee, though details remain unclear. As protests grow, Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy the military. The Washington Post also reports that the death of immigrant detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas border detention camp will be ruled a homicide, with witnesses alleging he was choked by guards. ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan resigned to run for Congress in Ohio, saying Trump “deserves a Congress that stands firmly behind his agenda.” Elsewhere, the EEOC is suing the University of Pennsylvania over antisemitism complaints and demanding lists of Jewish-affiliated groups and faculty — raising alarms about the creation of a centralized registry. A federal appeals court also cleared the way for the deportation of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil. And finally, the Congressional Budget Office estimates rebranding the Department of Defense as the “Department of War” could cost up to $125 million.

Colonel Jeff McCausland discusses the US "blockade" of sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers and the potential for escalation into a regional conflict involving Colombia. He also analyzes the Pentagon's refusal to release videos of destroyed drug boats, suggesting possible war crime concerns, and notes stalled Ukraine negotiations. 1903 CARACAS

SHOW 12-17-25 THE SHOW BEGINS WITH DOUBTS ABOUT THE US CONFLICT WITH VENEZUELA... 1926 USS OMAHA IN THE PANAMA CANAL. Colonel Jeff McCausland discusses the US "blockade" of sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers and the potential for escalation into a regional conflict involving Colombia. He also analyzes the Pentagon's refusal to release videos of destroyed drug boats, suggesting possible war crime concerns, and notes stalled Ukraine negotiations. Colonel McCausland reports on NATO's eastern flank "digging in," with Baltic states building defensive bunkers and Germany significantly increasing military spending. He highlights a divergence where European allies prepare for existential Russian threats while US leadership may prioritize "strategic stability" and economic cooperation with Moscow. General Blaine Holt warns that integrating Artificial Intelligence into military command increases the risks of deliberate, inadvertent, and accidental escalation. He argues that while AI accelerates decision-making, it lacks human judgment, potentially leading to catastrophic miscalculations if adversaries rely on algorithms during crises. General Holt explains that AI models in war games demonstrate a bias toward violent escalation, often prioritizing "winning" over negotiation, which leads to nuclear conflict. He emphasizes the necessity of keeping humans in the loop and maintaining direct communications between rival nations to prevent automated catastrophe. Simon Constable reports from France on high copper prices and slowing European energy demand. He describes protests by French farmers burning hay to oppose government orders to cull cattle exposed to disease and notes a significant rise in electric vehicle sales across the European Union. Simon Constable discusses the political troubles of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the suspension of a US-UK tech deal due to clashes over AI regulation. He explains that Britain's "Online Safety Act" aims to tax and regulate tech giants, which threatens to stifle American AI companies operating there. Bob Zimmerman highlights a record-breaking year with over 300 global rocket launches, driven largely by private enterprise competition. He notes that Amazon was forced to contract SpaceX for satellite launches due to delays from rivals like Blue Origin and reports on safety concerns involving Russian launch pad negligence. Bob Zimmerman reports on the success of commercial space station company Vast and orbital tug tests that outperformed government efforts. Conversely, he details problems with NASA's Maven orbiter at Mars, which has lost communication, potentially jeopardizing data relays for surface rovers. David Shedd critiques the bipartisan failure of allowing China into the World Trade Organization in 2001, which was based on the false assumption that economic engagement would lead to democratization. Instead, this decision facilitated a massive transfer of intellectual property, fueling China's rise as a predatory economic rival. David Shedd explains how China's Ministry of State Security operates as a massive intelligence entity combining the functions of the CIA, FBI, and NSA. He traces this economic espionage to Deng Xiaoping's 1984 strategy, noting that Chinese officers view theft as repayment for past Western oppression. David Shedd details espionage cases, including an Apple engineer stealing "Project Titan" car schematics for a Chinese competitor. He also describes a Google employee who stole AI data while secretly working for a Chinese firm, highlighting how corporate greed and weak internal security enable intellectual property theft. David Shedd outlines strategies to counter Chinese espionage, advocating for "partial decoupling" to protect critical technologies like semiconductors and AI. He argues for modernizing legal deterrence to prosecute theft effectively and warns that Chinese platforms like DeepSeek harvest user data to advance their "Great Heist" of American wealth. Nury Turkel discusses the plight of Guan Hang, a whistleblower facing deportation from the US despite documenting Uyghur concentration camps. Turkel criticizes the inconsistent enforcement of forced labor laws and highlights new evidence linking Uyghur slave labor to the excavation and processing of critical minerals. Rebecca Grant argues against the planned retirement of the USS Nimitz in 2026, suggesting it should be kept in reserve given delays in new Ford-class carriers. Despite the ship's age, Grant asserts that retaining the carrier offers crucial strategic depth against threats like China's PLA Navy. Rick Fisher analyzes the emerging race to build AI data centers in low Earth orbit, noting advantages like natural cooling and zero real estate costs. While Elon Musk's Starlink positions the US well, Fisher warns that China has detailed plans to use space-based data centers to support expansion into the solar system. Alan Tonelson evaluates China's economic strengths, acknowledging their dominance in rare earth processing and solar panels, often achieved through subsidies. He argues that China's heavy investment in industrial robots attempts to offset a looming demographic crash, while questioning the true market demand for their subsidized electric vehicles.

Tommy James came up during a time when the music industry was in part controlled by New York's Italian mafia. And for a period in the 1960s, that power was centralized at Roulette Records. The record label was run by convicted extortionist Morris Levy and operated in partnership with the Genovese crime family. Tommy James' hits were sanctioned by the mob, the same mob that would threaten not only his career, but his life.
