A News Roundup episode, and an episode of two halves.  We start with a discussion of the recent public Oval Office meeting between Trump and Cyril Ramaphosa, in which Trump harangued the South African president with accusations of 'white genocide' based on 'evidence' which tracks straight back to people in our usual wheelhouse.  Then we move on to a chat about the recent decision by language learning app Duolingo to replace loads of their contributors with AI, plus some dismaying news about Babbel, leading to a discussion of the impending AI jobs crisis.  Then we cap it off with an odd flex for us... a feel good story!

To teach well, we need to create a massive amount of content, and doing that manually doesn't scale. One of the best decisions we made recently was replacing a slow, manual content creation process with one powered by AI. Without AI, it would take us decades to scale our content to more learners. We owe it to our learners to get them this content ASAP.” von Ahn's email follows a similar memo Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke sent to employees and recently shared online. In that memo, Lütke said that before teams asked for more headcount or resources, they needed to show “why they cannot get what they want done using AI.” Fortune, “Duolingo CEO walks back AI-first comments: ‘I do not see AI as replacing what our employees do'” “To be clear: I do not see AI as replacing what our employees do (we are in fact continuing to hire at the same speed as before),” he wrote. “I see it as a tool to accelerate what we do, at the same or better level of quality. And the sooner we learn how to use it, and use it responsibly, the better off we will be in the long run.” Babbel quietly ending Babbel Live Babbel Support, “Discontinuation of Babbel Live” https://support.babbel.com/hc/en-us/articles/26749152437522-Discontinuation-of-Babbel-Live “Babbel Live was introduced in 2021. Knowing the power of human teachers, we aimed to offer our learners this experience from their homes. Over time, however, we did see a clear trend: the majority of them did not accept Babbel Live as part of their language learning path, making it impossible for us to sustain it as a business. This change will help us achieve our goal of helping you become fluent in your new language quickly by enabling us to focus on improving our app, which most learners, especially beginners, prefer.” Boycott Over Upcoming E-sports Event in Riyadh Makes Geoguessr Change Its Stance Geoguessr Community Protests Esports World Cup by Disabling Popular Maps. https://www.si.com/esports/news/geoguessr-protests-esports-world-cup Statement from Feneb, one of the World Championship players, about his decision to boycott the Riyadh event. https://discord.com/channels/1003591679644807229/1026965093331779634/1375003211513204746 “The decision to participate in the Esports World Cup, which is directly funded by the Saudi Arabian government in an effort to distract public attention from the above human rights violations, is thus directly incompatible with any stated aims by GeoGuessr to promote an inclusive and diverse community, and extremely disappointing.

Ronnie Stöferle, researcher and fund manager at Incrementum and author of the In Gold We Trust report, emphasizes that gold remains a critical asset as its role evolves alongside shifting global dynamics. Over nearly two decades, Stöferle has observed significant changes in how gold is perceived and demanded, particularly driven by emerging markets like Saudi Arabia, India, China, and Turkey. These regions now account for the majority of physical gold demand, both from central banks and private investors, underscoring a growing recognition of gold's value as a safe haven and store of wealth. Stöferle highlights that while gold is often seen as low volatility, it is currently in the "public participation phase" of its bull market cycle. This phase is characterized by increased media attention, higher price forecasts, and broader acceptance into investment portfolios. Despite gold's recent rise to around $3,300 per ounce, Stoferle maintains a bullish outlook, projecting a long-term target of $4,800 by the end of the decade. He attributes this confidence to underappreciated demand from emerging markets and growing skepticism toward traditional financial systems. The discussion also delves into the distinction between "safe haven gold" (physical gold stored securely) and "performance gold" (silver mining stocks and commodities). Stöferle suggests that while physical gold serves as a defensive hedge, performance gold offers higher potential returns. However, he cautions investors to actively time their exposure to these assets due to their volatility. Additionally, Stöferle addresses the role of Bitcoin alongside gold, viewing it as a complementary asset within a broader portfolio diversification strategy. He notes that while Bitcoin faces skepticism from traditional financial institutions, its adoption is steadily gaining traction, particularly among younger investors.

President Trump's recent visit to the Gulf region marked a dramatic shift from the previous administration's Middle East diplomacy. In his visit to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, Trump focused on securing significant investment commitments and commercial partnerships to support the region's AI and other ambitions.  The trip showcased Trump's transactional approach to foreign policy—one focused on bilateral deals rather than regional frameworks, and economic partnerships over military interventions. It also raised important questions about oil markets, geopolitical competition with China, nuclear agreements, and the future of energy prices. So what are the likely impacts of massive investment pledges from Gulf nations? Do low oil prices limit the ability to make good on them? What is the outlook for oil prices with uncertainty over OPEC+ policy, a possible Iran deal, and possible new sanctions on Russia? And what does Trump's transactional diplomacy mean for traditional alliances and regional stability?  This week, Jason Bordoff speaks with Helima Croft, Joe McMonigle, and Karen Young about how the Trump administration is reshaping U.S. relations with Middle East countries and the long- and short-term implications it will have on energy markets and geopolitics. Helima is managing director and global head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, where she leads the coverage of energy markets and geopolitical risk. Joe is a distinguished visiting fellow here at the Center on Global Energy Policy and the founder and president of the Global Center for Energy Analysis, an independent research and analysis firm. Karen is a senior research scholar here at the Center on Global Energy Policy and a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute where she focuses on the political economy of the Gulf States and energy policy.

President Trump arrived back stateside from his very successful trip to the Middle East. The neocons are revolting, demanding President Trump make no deals with Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iran. It was Barack Obama who sent Iran $1.7 billion in cash in 2016 as part of a settlement over a decades-old arms deal dispute. This included an initial $400 million payment on January 17, 2016, followed by $1.3 billion in interest payments. The cash, in euros, Swiss francs, and other currencies, was delivered via cargo planes because U.S. sanctions prevented banking transfers. Donald Trump didn't fork over a single dollar, in fact, he secured over $2 trillion dollars in investments to America. So why are the neocons revolting against him and didn't against Obama?

Crude Oil tanks as OPEC+ floods the market with product. Russia and Saudi Arabia just did the unthinkable by announcing that they’re increasing output by 411,000 barrels per day starting in June. With demand forecasts going down every day as the world braces for a Trump induced global recession, it’s the exact opposite move from what everyone expected. This episode tackles what this means for the economy, the future of energy, Trump’s tariff gambit, inflation and unemployment. Access the episode resources.

What happens when AI stops being just infrastructure—and becomes a matter of national identity and global power?In this episode, a16z's Anjney Midha and Guido Appenzeller explore the rise of sovereign AI—the idea that countries must own their own AI models, data centers, and value systems.From Saudi Arabia's $100B+ AI ambitions to the cultural stakes of model alignment, we examine:Why nations are building local “AI factories” instead of relying on U.S. cloud providersHow foundation models are becoming instruments of soft powerWhat the DeepSeek release tells us about China's AI strategyWhether the world needs a “Marshall Plan for AI”And how open-source models could reshape the balance of powerAI isn't just a technology anymore - it's geopolitical infrastructure.

Send us a textGUEST: SOEREN KERN, geopolitical analystPresident Trump just returned from his first overseas trip of his second term. Where a president chooses to visit first is a signal of his priorities. That President Trump went to the Middle East and three Arab/Muslim countries—Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates (UAE)—speaks loudly about Trump's hope to bring peace and prosperity to the Middle East. Interestingly, Trump did not visit Israel, even though he was in the region.Trillions of dollars in investments by Arab countries to American businesses were negotiated. Trump met with sketchy leaders like Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who oddly gifted the U.S. a Boeing 747. Trump gave a major policy speech outlining his vision for the Middle East, which would have Saudi Arabia signing the Abraham Accords, a treaty normalizing relations between Arab nations and Israel. Meanwhile, Islamist Iran looms in the region, trying desperately to develop nuclear weapons.How to interpret all that took place? Christian geopolitical analyst Soeren Kern will join us this weekend on The Christian Worldview Radio Program to survey the many facets of President Trump's trip and how it will impact America and our longtime ally Israel. Soeren will also discuss the upcoming U.N. Palestine Summit June 17-20 in New York, which aims to “Take Irreversible Action Towards Implementing a Two-State Solution.” These are some of the subjects Soeren will be addressing in more detail in the June 2025 issue of The Christian Worldview Journal monthly print publication that is sent to all Christian Worldview Partners.Is God close to enacting His end times plan of snatching away His church and allowing the antichrist to deceive the nations and persecute Israel before Christ's return? We don't know God's timing but we'd better be alert and ready.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Jewish Couple Shot in Hate Crime The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and emotionally charged discussion centered on the tragic antisemitic double murder of a young couple in Washington, D.C., and the broader implications of rising antisemitism in America. Clay and Buck open the hour with breaking news about the passage of a major bill in the House of Representatives, highlighting its narrow approval and the expected path forward in the Senate. However, the focus quickly shifts to the horrific killing of two Israeli diplomats, a crime the hosts attribute to the dangerous rhetoric and ideology spreading across college campuses and left-wing political circles under slogans like “Globalize the Intifada.” The hosts condemn the mainstream media and political figures for their silence or tepid responses, calling out Representative Ilhan Omar for refusing to comment. They draw parallels between this attack and the October 7 Hamas terrorist massacre in Israel, emphasizing the moral inversion and ignorance among younger generations regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Buck Sexton, drawing on his background in Middle East studies and the CIA, provides historical and geopolitical context, arguing that Hamas’s actions are rooted in a desire to prevent peace in the region, particularly between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The conversation also explores the broader issue of selective outrage and hypocrisy in global human rights advocacy, pointing to the lack of attention to genocides in places like South Sudan. The hosts stress the importance of educating younger Americans about the realities of terrorism, antisemitism, and the existential threats faced by Israel. Sen. Rand Paul on the Big Beautiful Bill Later in the hour, KY Senator Rand Paul joins the show to discuss the implications of the newly passed House bill, particularly its impact on the national debt and fiscal conservatism. Paul criticizes the bill’s projected $4–5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling and warns that Republicans are abandoning their principles by supporting unsustainable spending. He advocates for entitlement reform and a return to fiscal responsibility, warning of the long-term consequences of unchecked deficits. Yael Eckstein reacts on hate crime from Israel Yael Eckstein, President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, who offers a powerful response from Israel. She connects the attack to rising global antisemitism and the dangerous rhetoric emerging from pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. college campuses. Eckstein emphasizes the need for unity among Jews and Christians and praises former President Trump for his swift condemnation of the attack. Daniel Cameron on his Senate Run Former KY AG, Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Kentucky, on running to replace Mitch McConnell. Cameron discusses the recent tornado devastation in Kentucky, his campaign to replace Mitch McConnell, and his alignment with Donald Trump’s America First agenda. He emphasizes issues like border security, energy independence, and fighting DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies. Cameron also addresses the shifting political landscape, particularly how younger men across racial lines are moving away from the Democratic Party due to its stance on masculinity and traditional values.

Is America risking its future by outsourcing the very materials that power our technology, weapons, and economy? In this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we dive headfirst into the critical mineral crisis - and why your phone, car, and national security might depend on rocks you've never heard of. What are critical minerals? Why are they mostly controlled by foreign countries like China? And how the heck did we get here? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart Brian is joined by Farrell Gregory to uncover the truth behind critical mineral supply chains, the global chokehold China holds over rare earth elements, and what the U.S. must do to regain control. This isn't just a discussion about mining - it's about national defense, energy independence, and America's ability to stand on its own two feet in an increasingly hostile world. If you think the stuff powering your daily life is made in the USA, think again. They break down why America has vast mineral resources but refuses to use them, thanks to bloated regulations and red tape that can delay mining projects by nearly two decades. Meanwhile, China and other foreign players scoop up influence and economic leverage with little resistance. Why are we so reliant on enemies for our most critical tech ingredients? Farrell explains how Saudi Arabia could play a surprising role in securing America's mineral future - and why partnerships matter, but domestic production is non-negotiable. Brian connects the dots to the broader economic shift happening in America as we move away from hollow service jobs and back toward tangible, value-producing industries. The question is: are we ready to embrace it? This episode will make you think twice the next time someone talks about “green energy,” “supply chains,” or “America First.” It's not just a slogan - it's a survival strategy. Buckle up, because we're not just talking policy - we're talking about the minerals that keep modern life running.

In the next few days, Australian Muslims will be beginning their journey to take part in the Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holiest city for Muslims. Faraz Nomani is a strategy and risk professional from Greenacre in southwest Sydney. He was born in Saudi Arabia and came to Australia 25 years ago when he was 10 years old. In this episode of Weekend One on One he talks about his own pilgrimages to the Hajj and his visit this year when he will be helping other people making the pilgrimage from Australia. He told SBS's Shirley Glaister why the Hajj is so important.

This week, Scott sat down with a particularly baritone cast of Lawfare colleagues—co-host emeritus Benjamin Wittes, Foreign Policy Editor Dana Stuster, and Senior Editor (aka Legal Correspondent) Roger Parloff—to discuss the week's biggest national security news stories, including:“Let's Sheikh On It.” President Trump completed a surprisingly historic trip to the Persian Gulf last week, which began with the type of fanfare that Trump loves and only Saudi Arabia can provide and ended with the controversial gift of a new Air Force One from Qatar at the president's reported request. In between, however, Trump reiterated his calls for an end to the Gaza conflict, became directly involved in negotiating the release of the last living American-Israeli hostage from Hamas, and announced a dramatic about-face in U.S. sanctions policy toward the new regime in Syria that caught even his closest advisers by surprise—all measures that are unlikely to be greeted warmly by the man who has traditionally been Trump's closest regional ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. How big a pivot point was Trump's trip? And what could its implications be for U.S. policy towards the region?“Not Retiring from a Fight.” The Supreme Court issued an unprecedented third opinion off its emergency docket this past week in the inaptly named A.A.R.P. v. Trump, part of the ongoing litigation over the Trump administration's controversial efforts to remove Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. In a 7-2 ruling, the Court held that the summary notice and opportunity to challenge that U.S. officials had provided to some individuals prior to their removal was inadequate. But as litigation through the lower courts continues, what impact is this holding likely to have on the administration's broader immigration policies?“Shell Shocked.” Former FBI Director James Comey found himself at the center of an unlikely controversy this week, when his decision to relay a photo of shells arranged to form the numbers “8647” that he reportedly found on the beach was interpreted as a death threat against President Trump, triggering a Secret Service interview and potentially more legal consequences to come.

According to Bloomberg, the group of 12 major oil-exporting nations, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, and others, is considering a July increase of 411,000 barrels per day (bpd)—roughly triple the previously planned amount. This would mirror supply increases in May and June. Such an increase in July could lead to a breakdown in Brent crude's $60-per-barrel price floor (as long as the war risk premium remains suppressed).

Retired agent Martin Reardon reviews his Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution (UFAP) nationwide manhunt for a child predator wanted for the 1995 kidnapping and rape of a 9-year-old girl. Released from state prison just weeks earlier, Rickey Allen Bright had served 15 years of a life sentence for a 1979 offense involving a 6-year-old girl. Due to the heinous nature of the offense and his previous conviction, Bright was named to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List and featured on America's Most Wanted and Unsolved Mysteries. He was fugitive #444 and on the top ten list for three weeks. He was ultimately captured during the January 1996 East Coast blizzard just hours after America's Most Wanted aired the segment about the manhunt for the third time. After the case review, Marty also talks about his assignment as a Legal Attaché in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Doha, Qatar, and his post-FBI career in the Middle East.

In this 21WIRE LIVE midweek edition, host Patrick Henningsen speaks with guest, international human rights lawyer Arnaud Develay, about about Trump and Israel's war on the International Criminal Court in The Hague - in their dangerous attempt to derail the criminal case against Israeli war criminals PM Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. With an unprecedented attack like this from a western power, what are the ramifications for International Law? Also, we probe Trump's off-the-cuff announcement in Saudi Arabia that Washington will be lifting sanctions on Al-Jolani's regime in Syria. But will it happen, especially after Marco Rubio balked on it, and then predicted a civil war breaking out in Syria?

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the wonderfully random life of Adam Schorger—a man who's lived in Saudi Arabia, studied gunsmithing, wrestled with journalism, befriended GIS, and still manages to fit in gym time and screenless hobbies. Basically, he's a one-man Swiss Army knife of the geospatial world. The hosts, powered by caffeine and TopoDOT hype, guide us through tales of failing forward, mentoring like a boss, and building GIS empires from scratch at Orbital Engineering—because who doesn't want a side of cartography with their asset management? Adam also debunks the myth that GIS folks just “make maps” (spoiler alert: they're digital twin wizards now), and drops advice for newbies who might be torn between making maps or, say, making firearms. (Just another Tuesday in Adam's origin story.) Throw in some gnarly punk energy from H2O, the ever-epic Geodnet satellite miner tally, a questionable raster vs. vector pop quiz, and the usual host banter that walks the fine line between insightful and delightfully unhinged—and you've got another can't-miss episode. Fail forward, ride the wave, be disruptive—and if you can't measure it, you can't manage it. Also, don't forget to check if you can put a satellite miner on your house!!!

Hosts Alistair Taylor and Matthew Czekaj speak with MEI Senior Fellow Mohammed Soliman about President Donald Trump's recent trip to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, which yielded a wave of major US-Gulf tech and AI deals. Soliman explains how these partnerships mark a shift in the relationship—from oil and arms to compute power and data infrastructure—and what it means for the Gulf's strategic role in the global AI ecosystem. The discussion explores the energy bottlenecks behind AI development, evolving US export control policy, and the social and geopolitical implications of the Gulf's ambitions to become a digital hub for emerging markets.

Send us a textIsrael has launched Operation Gideon's Chariots to seize full control of the Gaza Strip and end Hamas rule once and for all. But as the war enters a new phase, the dilemmas grow deadlier and the geopolitics more complex. Eylon Levy is joined by DPR (Daniel Rubenstein), former advisor to Israeli Prime Ministers, IDF Spokesperson's Unit reservist, and Israeli tour guide, for a razor-sharp discussion dissecting the battlefield, the information war, and Israel's strategic isolation. 

President Trump's four-day visit to the Middle East featured splashy business deals, very little talk about human rights abuses and plenty of ethical questions – like ones raised by the gift of a lavish $400 million plane from Qatar for Trump to use as a temporary Air Force One. In many ways trip was a reset of relations – especially with Saudi Arabia, whose president was shunned by the Biden Administration, and Syria, whose new leader will benefit from Trump ending U.S. economic sanctions despite concerns over the country's new leader. NPR White House Correspondent Franco Ordoñez covered the trip and he joins co-hosts Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, language is critical in shaping societal discourse, it's divided into positive and negative categories. Positive language uplifts, promoting free societies, free speech, and healthy dialogue, rooted in Judeo-Christian values and individual liberty. Negative language, prevalent in media like the Sunday news shows, involves sloganeering, name-calling, and propaganda to suppress dissent and control thought, often tied to coercive power in Marxist, Islamist, or totalitarian regimes. The media and the Democratic Party today push organized propaganda, aiming to control culture and society. Democrats and the media have been lying about President Biden's mental and physical capabilities to maintain power, using totalitarian propaganda techniques like manipulation, deception, and repetition. Democrats praised Biden's sharpness and focus, which contradicts observable reality, as part of a strategy to bully the public into accepting their narrative. Also, the Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, allowed the Trump administration to remove protected status for 350,000 to 530,000 Venezuelans, enabling their deportation. The Court found the Biden administration misused protected status laws by granting it broadly without proper case-by-case evaluations, which are meant for those with legitimate fears of returning home. Justice Brown-Jackson dissented, while a separate 7-2 ruling limited another immigration statute, showing mixed Court outcomes. Later, there was a vast conspiracy by the Biden administration, mainstream media, academia, and the Marxist-leaning Democratic Party to maintain power by controlling language, thought, press, and information, akin to tactics used in totalitarian regimes. This was a deliberate assault on individual rights and civil society, involving a cover-up of President Biden's physical and mental health issues, including a possible cancer diagnosis during his presidency. Democrats were complicit in concealing Biden's condition while simultaneously attempting to destroy Donald Trump through legal battles and indictments to ensure Biden's path to power. Afterward, Qatar cannot be considered an ally due to its role as a hub for terrorism. It funded the 9/11 attacks alongside Saudi Arabia, supported Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and financed Hamas, thus contributing to the October 7 attack. Learn more about your ad choices.

President Trump's Art of the Deal is brilliant, but are Radical Islamist-sympathizers on the same page? Today, TheTerrorist Therapist® Carole Lieberman, M.D., poses the question: can Trump's clever logic overcome the illogical religious zeal that drives terrorists to rape and murder? It's the nagging question underlying his recent trip to the Middle East.President Trump visited Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. He met with their leaders, as well as the leader of Syria. He was given a royal welcome - with horses, camels, hair flip dancers, and dined on delicacies in fine palaces. He made billions of dollars worth of trade agreements benefitting America. But, each of these countries and leaders have a ‘mixed bag' ofpositive and negative relations with the U.S. For example, Trump made lucrative deals with Saudi Arabia and even  arranged for an Arabian leopard to be exhibited at an American zoo, while victims of 9/11 are still pursuing a lawsuit against the Saudis for their role in this attack. Trump made similar gains in Qatar. As an ally, they continue to  host our troops at the Al Udeid Air base; but, as an enemy, they also host the leaders of Hamas. The United Arab Emirates has a more positive history, in that it signed the Abraham Accords, which Trump has continued to try to convince these other leaders to sign. You will hear about the risks and benefits at each of the stops on his itinerary. The Prophet Muhammad said, “War is deceit.” So, can we trust these countries? Is Qatar's gift of a flying palace for Air Force 1 a Trojan horse and a risk to Trump's life? I hope not. These are risky times, but Trump is nonetheless working hard to fulfill his promises to bring about world peace. 

President Trump arrived back stateside from his very successful trip to the Middle East. The neocons are revolting, demanding President Trump make no deals with Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iran. It was Barack Obama who sent Iran $1.7 billion in cash in 2016 as part of a settlement over a decades-old arms deal dispute. This included an initial $400 million payment on January 17, 2016, followed by $1.3 billion in interest payments. The cash, in euros, Swiss francs, and other currencies, was delivered via cargo planes because U.S. sanctions prevented banking transfers. Donald Trump didn't fork over a single dollar, in fact, he secured over $2 trillion dollars in investments to America. So why are the neocons revolting against him and didn't against Obama?

Why the FBI Remains Broken Despite Trump, Patel & Bongino In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down President Trump's visit to the Middle East and what it means for global power dynamics. From boxing in Iran and reversing Biden's foreign policy failures to blunting China's growing influence and reigniting the Abraham Accords, Trump is making it clear that America is back as the global leader on the world stage. Professor Giordano dives into the strategic, economic, and ideological implications of this trip, including the $1.4 trillion investment into U.S. companies and the lingering questions about Saudi Arabia's role in 9/11. Is this the beginning of a lasting peace, or just another geopolitical gamble? Episode Highlights: How Trump's Middle East visit isolates Iran as the Shia Crescent has been broken The $1.4 trillion investment in American companies and the rollback of Biden's AI export ban Why radical Islam, 9/11 truths, and national security threats still shape U.S.-Middle East relations  

From September 26, 2023: On August 21, the Human Rights Watch released a report detailing systematic abuses of Ethiopian migrants and asylum seekers at the Saudi Arabia-Yemen border. Researchers interviewed dozens of Ethiopian migrants and asylum seekers and found that Saudi border guards had used explosive weapons on them and shot migrants at close range.Lawfare's Associate Editor of Communications Anna Hickey sat down with Joey Shea, a researcher in the Middle East and North Africa Division of Human Rights Watch who investigates human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. They discussed the Human Rights Watch recent report, how the international community has responded so far, and the human rights record of Prince Mohammed bin Salman since he ascended the throne in 2015.

On the first major foreign trip of his second term, President Trump met with leaders in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. His arrival was greeted with fanfare across the region — there were motorcades featuring Teslas, long processions of Arabian horses and camels, and traditional dance and musical performances. According to the White House, Saudi Arabia agreed to invest $600 billion in the United States. Qatar placed a huge order for Boeing Passenger jets. But the biggest announcement of Trump's trip was a bit of surprise deal-making: after more than 20 years, Trump said, the U.S. will lift sanctions on Syria. President Trump and interim Syrian President al-Sharaa met for tea and also discussed the possibility that Syria could recognize Israel as a sovereign state. NPR's Scott Detrow and Hadeel Al-Shalchi examine how this news was received in Israel, whether this moment be a critical turning point for Middle East peace and ask, can Trump actually deliver on these promises?

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Mark emphasized that books endure far beyond radio, podcasts, or TV. While he's often discussed liberty, unalienable rights, and tyranny, he's only touched on power indirectly. Now, he's completed his latest book, On Power. This book is different than any other book Mark has written. On Power is an analysis of how power shapes history. Power is more than a word; it determines whether you are free or not. It's a subject all of us deal with every day. It's a matter that can be discussed psychologically, ideologically, and philosophically. Also, in On Power, there's a stark contrast between America's founding, rooted in a blend of faith and Enlightenment ideals, and the centralized control sought by political Islam, as highlighted by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim reformist. Jasser argues that Islamism, unlike the Judeo-Christian principles shaping America's Constitution, rejects individual liberty and enforces a monolithic faith, often tied to anti-Israel and anti-Semitic agendas, as seen in groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. On Power examines the concept of power, its manipulation by politicians, media, and ideologues, and its impact on individuals and society. It aims to provoke a deeper understanding and dialogue about power's application, hoping to serve as a source for liberty against tyranny. Also, Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of Americans. Their Crown Prince didn't even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us, and the 9/11 families are probably reeling from this. And Qatar protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people. The Supreme Court addressed a case involving President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. These national injunctions represent an unconstitutional overreach by federal district courts, lacking a historical or constitutional basis, and justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson are promoting a "deconstitutionalization" of government by justifying such injunctions as a means to force quick Supreme Court review.

President Donald Trump is expected to wrap up the first major international trip of his second term today when he returns from the Middle East. His four-day trip to the Gulf was less about good, old-fashioned diplomacy, and more about doing deals. Lots of them: a $600 billion investment agreement with Saudi Arabia, the details of which remain extremely vague; a nearly $150 billion defense deal with the Kingdom; a major artificial intelligence deal with the United Arab Emirates. And of course, there's that gifted plane from the Qatari Royal Family. Mohammed Sergie, Gulf editor for Semafor, talks about what Trump accomplished on his trip. Plus, author Casey Johnston joins us to talk about her new book, 'A Physical Education: How I Escaped Diet Culture and Gained the Power of Lifting.'And in headlines: The Supreme Court appeared torn over the enforcement of Trump's order to end birthright citizenship, Russian President Vladimir Putin was a no-show at planned peace talks with Ukraine in Turkey, and Walmart executives said the company will have to raise prices because of Trump's tariffs.Show Notes:Read Mohammed's reporting: https://www.semafor.com/author/mohammed-sergieRead Casey's newsletter: https://www.shesabeast.co/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Savage warns about the threat of Islamofascism, praising Governor Abbott for halting an Islamic city in Texas. He shares skepticism about U.S. arms deals with Saudi Arabia. Drawing from his book, 'Liberalism is a Mental Disorder,' he exposes radical Islam as a political threat rather than a peaceful religion. He advises U.S. leaders to be cautious in their dealings with radical Islamic states. Then, Savage contrasts the historical contributions of Arab civilization to world knowledge with the current militant Islam that is incompatible with Western values. He highlights the significant contributions of ancient and historical Arabia. Savage blames ignorance and the breakdown of education for the rise of modern radical Islam.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: HERE The Big Coverup The hour opens with analysis of former President Donald Trump's trip to the Middle East, including his visit with U.S. troops in Qatar and ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent a nuclear Iran without engaging in war. The hosts highlight the potential for Trump to achieve peace in the region, even speculating on his worthiness for a Nobel Peace Prize—despite media resistance. A major focus of this hour is the explosive revelations surrounding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. Clay and Buck dissect new reports suggesting Biden frequently forgot the names of his top advisors, including long-time aides like Jake Sullivan and Kate Bedingfield. They argue that this is not a recent development, but a long-standing issue that was deliberately concealed by the media and Democratic leadership. The hosts call it a “vast left-wing conspiracy” to hide Biden’s mental and physical health from the American public, comparing it to the media’s treatment of January 6 and demanding congressional hearings to investigate the cover-up. The discussion also touches on the implications of the 25th Amendment, questioning why it was never invoked despite clear signs of presidential incapacity. Clay and Buck criticize the mainstream media, particularly CNN and MSNBC, for their complicity and dishonesty, asserting that many journalists knowingly misled the public. They also question the role of Vice President Kamala Harris and First Lady Jill Biden in perpetuating the alleged deception. Did you buy the dip? The Stock Market’s recovery and falling gas prices — developments they claim are being ignored by left-leaning media outlets. They also tease breaking news about Rep. Jim Jordan’s investigation into Pfizer allegedly delaying COVID-19 vaccine trial results to influence the 2020 election, further fueling claims of widespread institutional manipulation. Trump is working on no war in the Middle East and no nuclear Iran Supreme Court Rulings Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a high-energy, in-depth analysis of the latest political and legal developments shaping the 2024 election cycle and beyond. The hour opens with a discussion of explosive claims from OH Rep. Jim Jordan, who alleges that Pfizer executives may have deliberately withheld COVID-19 vaccine trial results before the 2020 election—potentially influencing the outcome. Clay and Buck connect this to broader concerns about election integrity, media manipulation, and the growing list of revelations surrounding the so-called “rig job” of 2020. A major focus of this hour is the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on two critical issues: the legality of President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship and the constitutionality of nationwide injunctions issued by federal district court judges. The hosts break down the legal complexities, emphasizing how a single lower court judge currently holds outsized power to block presidential actions nationwide—an imbalance that undermines the separation of powers. Justice Clarence Thomas’s remarks are highlighted to show how this practice only emerged in the 1960s and has since exploded, particularly in left-leaning circuits like the Ninth. Status vs. Wealth Trump’s speech to U.S. troops stationed in Qatar, where he emphasized military strength, patriotism, and announced substantial pay raises for service members. Clay and Buck highlight the Trump administration’s success in revitalizing military recruitment and shifting the Pentagon’s focus back to national defense rather than progressive social agendas. The hosts then pivot to Trump’s diplomatic breakthroughs in the Middle East, including potential normalization with Syria and ongoing negotiations with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and even Iran. They underscore how Trump’s foreign policy is isolating Iran while strengthening U.S. alliances—moves that even some Democrats are quietly praising. On the economic front, Clay and Buck analyze new data showing falling gas prices, stable inflation, and strong retail sales, debunking fears that Trump’s tariffs would trigger a recession. They argue that the mainstream media’s silence on positive economic indicators—especially the dramatic drop in gas prices—reveals a clear bias. The hosts emphasize how lower energy costs are weakening adversaries like Russia and Iran while benefiting everyday Americans. The conversation then shifts to a broader discussion of American prosperity, with Buck explaining how the U.S. economy remains the most powerful wealth-generation engine in history. They contrast Trump’s pro-growth, pro-business policies with the Democrats’ obsession with regulation, wealth redistribution, and status-driven politics. Clay adds that even the poorest Americans enjoy a higher standard of living than most people globally, citing data that Mississippi is wealthier per capita than the UK.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin, On Power examines the concept of power, its manipulation by politicians, media, and ideologues, and its impact on individuals and society. It aims to provoke a deeper understanding and dialogue about power's application, hoping to serve as a source for liberty against tyranny.  Also, Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of Americans.  Their Crown Prince didn't even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us, and the 9/11 families are probably reeling from this. And Qatar protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people.  It's great that we have a deal with Qatar, but they've also spent billions trying to destroy our colleges and universities.  Afterward, most House and Senate Republicans signed two letters urging President Trump to reject any nuclear deal with Iran unless it fully dismantles its nuclear program. Later, Zuhdi Jasser calls in to explain that achieving peace requires the complete defeat of the Islamist death cult like Hamas. Western reluctance to confront this ideology head-on, due to fears of appearing Islamophobic, enables its spread and threatens global stability. The only decisive action against such extremism, rather than appeasement or half-measures, can secure a peaceful future. Finally, Sen Bernie Sanders advocates for a communist style national health care system, drawing from the 1936 Stalin Constitution. This raises questions about whether healthcare as a human right means unlimited access to any treatment, who controls doctors' and nurses' work hours, and if such a system could force doctors to provide care against their will.
