Start with the headlines and everything looks simple: a “crown prince” trending on social feeds, viral clips of pre-revolution Tehran, and bold claims that one more round of pressure will tip the balance. Look closer and the picture changes. We unpack Iran's internal stalemate and Syria's shifting lines with a clear eye on what's driving events: sanctions that harden the regime's patronage networks, diaspora psyops that mistake nostalgia for strategy, and the vanishing space for any liberal or left alternative that might organize hope into power.We walk through how Iran's formal elections and parliament sit under real veto points from the Supreme Leader and security services, why the reformist track keeps collapsing, and how dollarization and elite access to cheap currency rig the economic playing field. That material strain feeds youth despair, anti-religious backlash, and polarizing street slogans the regime can exploit. Outside the borders, expected lifelines don't arrive. Russia and China prefer stability at low cost. The “axis of resistance” has limits and its own priorities. Israel and Turkey maneuver in Syria while the SDF faces pressure to retreat from Arab-majority areas. Once again, Kurdish politics become the lever many states pull to consolidate authority.We also scrutinize the information environment: Saudi-backed outlets, AI-washed propaganda, and English-language punditry that often substitutes for real reporting under an intense blackout. When verification fails, certainty thrives—and that's a gift to hardliners. Instead of romantic solutions or regime-change fantasies, we outline realistic levers that protect lives and keep political possibilities open: unions and professional associations setting bright lines, targeted pressure that hits elite rents rather than civilians, and media practices that prioritize verification over virality. It's not flashy. It's the kind of strategy that sustains pluralism after the hashtags fade.If you value sober analysis without cheerleading, hit follow, share this episode with a friend who loves geopolitics, and leave a review with the one question you want answered next.

Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado gave her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Trump at a private White House meeting, calling it a recognition of his “unique commitment” to Venezuelan freedom. Mr Trump posted on social media that it was a gesture of mutual respect, and thanked her. The talks come weeks after US forces seized Nicolas Maduro in Caracas and charged him with drug trafficking.

We're off this week, so we thought we would release one of our Patreon Host Specials on the main feed! As chosen by the Patrons, they've decided to release Jocelyn's Host Special on EA. Enjoy and we'll return with a new episode next week.For decades, gamers have joked that the real gaming villain isn't Ganon, Bowser, or The Illusive Man…it's Electronic Arts. The studio-shuttering, loot-box-pioneering, “surprise mechanics”-defending corporate monolith that somehow became the symbol of everything broken in modern gaming. How did that reputation happen? Does EA actually deserve the crown?In this episode of Innside Stories, Joce takes a deep dive into the rise (and repeated falls) of EA, from its idealistic origins championing “Electronic Artists,” to the studio graveyard it left behind, to the crunch culture exposed by the EA Spouse letter, to the Maxis and Spore disasters, all the way to their $55 billion Saudi-led buyout in 2025. If you've ever wondered how EA became gaming's favourite villain, or whether they ever truly were, this one's for you!Each month, we alternate posting a Host Special, focusing on personal experiences, our favourite games, or just stories that peaked our interest.

A rare public rupture has emerged between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Triggered by a dramatic escalation over Yemen in late December 2025, the dispute has exposed deeper ideological and strategic differences between the two Gulf powers. In this episode, Thomas and Aimen step back from the battlefield to examine the historical roots of Saudi–Emirati rivalry and why Yemen became the arena where these differences finally collided in public. They discuss: The 30 December 2025 Saudi airstrikes and the ultimatum to UAE forces Why Yemen is the arena, not the cause, of the Saudi–UAE dispute Continental vs maritime power in the Arabian Peninsula The British influence on the Emirati state The Buraimi Oasis dispute Tribal allegiance and ‘weird borders' in Gulf geopolitics Why the UAE tolerates breakaway regions and Saudi Arabia cannot Whether this rupture will be patched up and what happens if it isn't Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/  Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with elements of the Saudi royal family has long hovered in the background of the scandal, rarely explored with the seriousness it deserves. Epstein moved easily within elite Gulf circles during the 1990s and early 2000s, cultivating relationships with Saudi businessmen, royals, and intelligence-adjacent figures under the same vague cover he used everywhere else: finance, philanthropy, and “advising” powerful people. His access was not casual. Epstein traveled repeatedly to Saudi Arabia, hosted Saudi nationals at his properties, and was known to facilitate introductions between Middle Eastern elites and Western political and financial figures. As with many of his relationships, the exact nature of the services he provided remains opaque, but the pattern is familiar: proximity to power, insulation from scrutiny, and an ability to operate across borders with little interference from U.S. authorities.The most disturbing and concrete piece of evidence tying Epstein to Saudi state-level protection surfaced after his 2019 arrest, when law enforcement discovered he was in possession of a Saudi passport. The passport listed a false name but included his photograph, raising immediate red flags about who issued it, why it existed, and how Epstein obtained it. This was not a novelty item or souvenir. Saudi passports are tightly controlled state documents, and possession of one by a non-citizen under an alias strongly suggests official facilitation rather than private forgery. Epstein claimed he used it for travel in the Middle East, yet no serious public accounting has ever been given for how a convicted sex offender and alleged intelligence-linked financier ended up holding sovereign identity documents from a foreign monarchy. Like so much of the Epstein story, the discovery was quickly noted, then quietly sidelined, leaving unanswered questions about foreign intelligence ties, diplomatic cover, and how deep Epstein's international protection network truly went.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Allies Saudi Arabia and Yemen have turned rivals in Yemen. From 2 December, 2025 when UAE-backed STC forces started taking over key provinces to now- Saudi-led coalition regaining control, Yemen has witnessed key developments. In Episode 1781 of #CutTheClutter, ThePrint Editor-In-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains why Yemen has become a battleground for Saudi Arabia & UAE, the areas controlled by different forces in Yemen including Houthis, and how this rivalry is linked to the race for influence in Africa.

Saudi state TV reports that Yemen's Southern Transitional Council has disbanded, though an STC spokesperson called the announcement "ridiculous."

In this episode, host Travis Chappell and his producer Eric kick off 2026 with a tongue‑in‑cheek look at “getting rich” in Grand Theft Auto V versus actually building wealth in real life. Using a viral GTA video that breaks down the “five best businesses to buy” in the game, they unpack why it's so tempting to grind for fake money while feeling stuck financially—and where that logic breaks down if you're unhappy with your real bank account. Along the way, they swap stories about ultra‑strict childhood rules on movies and games, why sleepovers now feel like a hard no as parents, and how leisure fits into a healthy, ambitious life.​ On this episode we talk about: A GTA V creator teaching “five businesses that will make you rich online” and how his million‑view content is actually an example of turning play into a real income stream.​ The difference between enjoying games as a hobby versus pouring five hours a day into them while complaining there's “no opportunity” in real life.​ Childhood stories about not being allowed to watch certain movies or play certain games, calling parents from sleepovers, and the weird logic of which ratings were “okay” and which weren't.​ How becoming parents has flipped their perspective: less concern about temporary tattoos and game ratings, more concern about letting kids sleep at other people's houses at all.​ The rise of creators who build channels around nostalgic games, movie tie‑in titles, or walkthroughs—and how that can turn low‑effort fun into a monetized side project.​ Why modern games and social platforms are engineered to keep you in an endless loop, and how that “vortex” quietly delays people from ever taking real swings at their goals.​ The nuanced take: you don't have to be “grinding 24/7,” but you also can't expect big financial changes if every spare hour goes to escapism.​ A brief tangent into IP consolidation (Saudi money, Activision, Bond, DC, Lord of the Rings) and how massive ownership shifts change what shows, games, and stories get made.​ Top 3 Takeaways Hobbies are fine—until they clash with your goals. Playing GTA or Call of Duty isn't a moral issue; the problem is when you're miserable with your finances yet still spend all your free time in virtual worlds instead of building real skills and income.​ You either monetize the passion or own the trade‑off. The GTA creator in the clip turned his obsession into a channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers; if you don't want to do that, that's fine—but then you have to accept slower financial progress without blaming “lack of opportunity.”​ Most “successful people” aren't gaming all day. High performers might still play, but usually after they've already put in serious work; expecting similar results while investing most of your energy into entertainment is a mismatch in inputs and outcomes.​ Notable Quotes “If you're spending five hours a day playing video games and also complaining there's no opportunity, you can't be mad at the results you're getting.”​ “That guy grinding GTA businesses is actually making real money—because he turned his gameplay into content, not just a way to escape his own life.”​ “Do whatever you want in your downtime, but don't be shocked when the people who spend that same downtime learning and building get very different outcomes.”​​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Imagine a building as tall as the Empire State Building, that stretches for more than 100km through the Saudi Arabian desert. Inside are nine million people – with robot maids and a giant fake moon – living in self-sufficient pods where everything they need is a five-minute walk away.It's part of NEOM, a futuristic megacity complex, which the Saudi government has already started building. And if you believe the PR, it'll be a car-free, carbon-free, utopian existence – the most equitable and sustainable society in human history. But will it happen? And what is the financial (and human) cost? For our first ShortHand back in 2026, we're looking at the most ambitious and controversial building project ever: The Line.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / InstagramSources and more available on redhandedpodcast.com

//The Wire//2300Z December 30, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: SAUDI ARABIA BOMBS EMIRATI WEAPONS SHIPMENT IN YEMEN. RAIL DELAYS SPREAD AROUND EUROPE AFTER INCIDENT IN CHANNEL TUNNEL. CROWBAR ATTACK REPORTED AT BRITISH HOSPITAL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Yemen: Overnight tensions escalated sharply between several nations as the conflict in Yemen threatens to become more serious. Colonel Turki Al-Malki, the Saudi Air Force Colonel that serves as the spokesman for the Saudi mission to Yemen stated that two vessels departed the UAE without permission this morning, and sailed without turning their AIS transponders on before arriving in Yemen. Onboard these vessels were weapons and armored vehicles that the UAE was allegedly trying to smuggle to the Southern Transitional Council (STC), a faction that threatens the Saudi border.As a result, Saudi Arabia conducted a few airstrikes within the Yemeni port of Mukalla, targeting the combat vehicles to be used by the STC. After the strikes, Saudi Arabia also called for the UAE to leave Yemen entirely. A few hours after this morning's scuffle, the UAE announced a cessation of their already-reduced mission in Yemen, and are withdrawing all public support for the STC, per Saudi demands.United Kingdom: This morning an Afghan migrant was arrested for conducting an attack at the Newton-Le-Willows Hospital in Merseyside, a small village halfway between Liverpool and Manchester. The attack began after the man was denied an appointment after entering the lobby with a crowbar in hand. After being told there were no appointments, the man began attacking staff with the crowbar. 5x people were wounded during the attack.Europe: This morning a "major disruption" was reported in the Channel Tunnel, halting train services between London and Paris. The cause of the disruption was two-fold, resulting from several power lines being downed in one tunnel, and a train stuck in the other tunnel, blocking service both ways under the English Channel.Analyst Comment: This sounds like it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but due to the importance of this one tunnel (and the nature of rail logistics), passenger train services were halted from Amsterdam to Paris, all during one of the most heavily-trafficked travels season of the year. Delays have been reported all day, and EuroStar has recommended travelers to avoid trains which use cross-Channel routes until repairs are made.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The situation in Yemen has always been a tangled web of factions, and thing's aren't as simple as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". This latest development is no different, and throughout the day the statements from all parties reflect more of the plot of a soap opera than traditional diplomacy.The STC is a separatist movement in Yemen that is opposing the Houthi's, but also opposing the Saudis. The Saudis know that if the STC were to win the Civil War in Yemen and actually dominate the Houthis, the STC would probably sidestep the formal Yemeni government and succeed in their goal of creating a new state (what they call South Arabia), which the STC has been working toward for some time. The UAE provides materiel support to the STC for several reasons. For one, the UAE and the Saudis have bad-blood between them on cultural grounds, but both the Emirates and the Saudi royal family also don't want the Houthi's to control most of Yemen, thus the reason for both nations teaming up to form the security coalition in Yemen.However, the Saudis also don't want the Houthi's adversaries (the STC) to get too much control either...which the UAE *does* want so as to apply pressure to the Saudis because the UAE and Yemen don't share a land border, so they don't care.In short, the Saudis and Emirates don't actually like each other, but work together to control the dozens of

HRH Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan 170 | Chairman, Saudi Esports FederationOn this episode, we were honored to welcome HRH Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan, Chairman of the Saudi Esports Federation.We explore the remarkable evolution of Saudi Arabia's gaming and esports sector from the federation's establishment in 2018 to its central role in positioning the Kingdom as a leading global esports destination. The conversation traces Saudi Arabia's hosting of Gamers8, the Kingdom's flagship international esports event, for two consecutive years, followed by the launch of the Esports World Cup, hosted in Saudi Arabia and delivered by the Esports World Cup Foundation. Over the past two years, the tournament has rapidly emerged as a global phenomenon, welcoming more than 3 million visitors.Prince Faisal shares insights into the groundbreaking Gamers Without Borders charity initiative, the growing participation of women in Saudi gaming, and the infrastructure being built to nurture local talent into world-class professionals. The discussion also addresses global criticism, the physical and mental demands of professional esports, and the ambitious vision to establish Saudi Arabia as the world's natural hub for esports by 2030.0:00 Intro1:33 From GSA Cup to Gamers84:56 Gaming for Charity8:13 Esports World Cup: Growth and Statistics12:15 Becoming Chairman20:18 Esports Career Pathways in Saudi Arabia25:29 Women in Gaming30:25 Is Esports a Real Sport?35:46 Visa Programs Infrastructure39:07 Mega Events vs. Grassroots41:50 Global Game Publishers45:51 The Future of Esports in the Olympics48:15 Personal Motivation53:40 Telling Saudi Stories56:02 Prince Faisal's All-Time Favorite Games59:04 Vision for 20301:02:37 Changing Perceptions Conclusion

The United States struck another drug-carrying vessel in the Eastern Pacific on Monday, amid a major military buildup in the Caribbean. The move follows President Donald Trump's announcement that U.S. forces destroyed a drug boat loading facility inside Venezuela last week.Russia has yet to provide evidence backing its claim that Ukraine attacked the residence of President Vladimir Putin with drones, as the U.S. ambassador to NATO publicly cast doubt on Moscow's accusation. Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party fired missiles around Taiwan for a second day, continuing large-scale drills encircling the island. Some analysts say the maneuvers appear to rehearse an invasion rather than follow routine exercises.And tensions spiked between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The UAE says it's voluntarily withdrawing its last remaining military forces from Yemen, following Saudi airstrikes on a southern Yemeni port city. Saudi Arabia claims the strikes targeted a weapons shipment allegedly sent from the UAE to support separatist forces.

Supporters of southern Yemen's separatist movement have taken to the streets in Aden to protest at an ultimatum delivered by Saudi Arabia to the group's main backer, the United Arab Emirates. The UAE said on Tuesday it would abide by a Saudi demand to end its military involvement in Yemen. Riyadh has been angered by separatist advances towards the Saudi border. Overnight on Monday, a Saudi-led strike force attacked a port in southern Yemen, where Riyadh said two UAE ships had docked with weapons for the separatists. The UAE has denied this.Also in the programme: Another day of street protests in Iran as inflation sours and the currency tanks - how will the government respond?

The United Arab Emirates has agreed to withdraw its forces from Yemen after a Saudi bombing of the port of Mukalla. Saudi authorities say it targeted weapons intended for UAE-backed separatists who threatened its security. Also in the programme: the latest search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 begins today; why a Japanese folk tale of a ghost that haunts school toilets still persists; and we look ahead to some of the big stories of next year with our correspondents who cover health, the environment and sport.

The United Arab Emirates said on Tuesday said it was pulling out its remaining forces in Yemen after Saudi Arabia backed a call for UAE forces to leave the country within 24 hours, in a major crisis between the two Gulf powers and oil producers. The UAE made its announcement hours after a Saudi-led coalition airstrike on the southern Yemeni port of Mukalla.Voters in Iowa State Senate District 16 go to the polls Tuesday for a special election that has major political stakes, with a Republican supermajority in the state's upper chamber on the line.

This holiday week episode of the Epic Universal Podcast was recorded on Christmas Eve, which means Jim and Eric are juggling last minute shopping, customer service horror stories, and a surprisingly full slate of Universal news. From attractions closing sooner than expected to permits hinting at big changes in Islands of Adventure, this show looks both at what is ending and what might be coming next. They also zoom way out, from Epic Universe's nighttime ambitions to the possibility of Universal's next global park landing in a very hot climate. NEWS • The Horror Make-Up Show at Universal Studios Florida is officially closing January 4, with speculation swirling about what kind of reimagined experience might replace it. • New permits tied to Intamin suggest real movement in the Lost Continent area at Islands of Adventure, fueling renewed talk of a possible Legend of Zelda attraction. • Universal files trademarks for Celestial Goodnight, pointing strongly toward a nighttime spectacular at Epic Universe. • Ongoing guest surveys hint that a FanFest-style separately ticketed event could be headed to Universal Orlando, featuring IPs like Lord of the Rings, Pokémon, Godzilla, and K-Pop Demon Hunters. • Universal is reviewing bids for a long-term transportation system connecting Epic Universe with the original Universal Orlando campus. FEATURE • A Wall Street Journal report revives talk of a Universal Studios park in Saudi Arabia, likely financed by the Saudi government through a licensing deal. • How this potential project echoes past international ventures like Dubailand, including what went wrong and what Universal may have learned. • Why indoor, climate-controlled parks are the only viable model for the region and how this mirrors Disney's recent Middle East strategy. • What all of this says about Universal's future, from regional parks like Universal Kids Resort to massive international expansions.

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger react to Dave Chappelle's recent public clap-back at Bill Maher after Maher criticized Chappelle for suggesting that free speech is "better" in Saudi Arabia than in the U.S. Jimmy agrees that Chappelle's joke about Western hypocrisy and journalist deaths landed, but argues Chappelle was dodging broader criticism about comedians signing censorship contracts to perform under Saudi government speech restrictions.  Jimmy and Kurt discuss whether wealthy comics like Chappelle need to take gigs that require avoiding criticism of a regime, contrasting him with Tim Dillon, who mocked the restrictions on stage and was reportedly removed from the festival. The video also dives into larger debates about credibility, power, political hypocrisy, and how comedians like Chappelle, Maher, and others navigate money, speech, and moral boundaries. Plus segments on Tucker Carlson being named Antisemite of the Year and Trump's images being retracted from a recent Epstein files release.  Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Jeff Bridges!

The media war you're watching on the news is NOTHING compared to the media war happening behind the news. In this episode, I'm breaking down how Netflix – the same company that crushed the entire streaming game – just ran into the REAL bosses of media… and why a $108 billion hostile takeover tells you everything you need to know about power, propaganda, and who really runs America.Netflix tried to level up from “just streaming” to owning the airwaves – TNT, TBS, CNN, the whole Warner Bros Discovery empire. Then Paramount + Skydance pulled up like, “Nah… we want ALL of that” – with an all-cash, $108B offer straight to the shareholders, backed by Larry Ellison's money, Saudi wealth funds, and Trump's son-in-law's capital. This ain't just about movies. This is about who controls the narrative. And they don't let just anybody touch that.Join our Exclusive Patreon!!!
