The story starts with Donald Trump commuting the sentence of Rod Blagojevich then and a pardon. What is the real story behind this movement and how does Jared Kushner fit into this picture?
Agentforce is everywhere and everything but in speaking to many ISVs, they are still wondering when is the right time to lean into AI with more than just a story. Where in the hype cycle are we is something I wonder about a lot. So I set out to find an ISV that is actually succeeding in the Agentforce world and that journey led me to Igor Stosic, CEO of Quadrix Soft who make Goat Email on the AppExchange, as my next guest on How We Got There. They are actually selling the first Agentforce use cases for customers, which has to be making AEs covering those accounts VERY happy. Igor is based out of Serbia so we touch on the geographical benefits and challenges around being an ISV out of Europe. They've found a lot of success driving leads from the AppExchange from a gtm perspective. We touch on what has been working and mistakes made along the way, sharing transparent feedback about how to build an app that goes wide so you can know what works for customers and lean into those items.But then we dove into the main topic of Agentforce. We touched on various concepts like how they came up with the Agentforce use case, how they monetize the Agentforce element, and much more. A specific example a use case where they use Agentforce is variability of tone based on the location of the customer that you are interacting with - sending an email to someone in the US looks different from sending an email to someone in Germany.If you are curious about Agentforce, this episode is for you.

After the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, Australia tightened its gun laws, and has since been considered a world-leading example by gun control advocates of how to lessen the chances of mass shootings occurring. However, the mass murder of at least 15 people in an antisemitic attack at Bondi beach on Sunday has again raised the issue of gun access, and Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese has said he is “ready to fight” to strengthen the laws again. On today's show, Ariel Bogle, an investigations reporter with Guardian Australia, explains why the number of guns in Australia has been rising, and how stricter laws might be received in the country.

Tommy and Ben discuss the horrific Bondi Beach terror attack, the rise of antisemitism in Australia, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bad-faith attempt to connect Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state to this violence, and the perpetrators potentially training in the Philippines. They also talk about the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and how it fits into President Trump's creep towards regime change, Chile's election of the most right-wing President since Pinochet and Trump gleefully taking credit, questions about why US troops are still in Syria after the death of two US soldiers, pro-democracy advocate Jimmy Lai's conviction in Hong Kong, a proposed policy to check the social media accounts of visitors to the US, the death of Jared Kushner's corrupt hotel deal in Serbia, and highlights from episode 2 of The Liz Truss Show. Then, Ben speaks to Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, about global shifts to watch for in 2026.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

The killing of two US service members in an attack in Syria over the weekend has raised questions about the future of American forces in the country. Also, prosecutors in Serbia have charged a government minister with abuse of office and falsifying of documents in an apparent attempt to pave the way for a real estate project financed by a company linked to Jared Kushner, US President Trump's son-in-law. And, a look at a secret software that can track anyone anywhere. Plus, new theories arise into the cause of one of Europe's worst maritime disasters, three decades later.

Double Tap Episode 440 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Mitchell Defense, Night Fision, Second Call Defense, Rost Martin, and Swampfox Optics Welcome to Double Tap, episode 440! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews. +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Operative Enthalpy - Dear WLSWhat are your thoughts on a tunable gas block, like the one from Odin Works, versus a standard gas block, or an adjustable gas block. Is it a solution looking for a problem that should be solved by having a proper gas port size in your barrel, or is it a somewhat valuable option for tuning a range or hunting gun to function smoothly for general operating conditions.Operative Enthalpy Anonymous Coward from GA - Do you think the top part of a mermaid also tastes like fish or that it would actually be red meat? Would there be a solid line where the meat changes in their body or would it kind of blend? Could you make a surf and turf platter with one carcass? Fisher Cat - Hey guys, was thinking of getting a shotgun. In your opinion should I get a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500? Both of them are at my LGS for $400 and I'm torn between which would be better for home defense and hunting. Also, would a shotgun be a good weapon to have in an event where society collapses? Thanks keep up the good fight #ssb#ShootStraight Gaston Glock - Is the aftermarket beaver tail for Glocks to adjust the grip angle to be more like a 1911 a gimmick or would it actually be something to consider if you like how a 1911 feels in your hand. Zac C - Hey guys, just wanted to give an update on what I went with for my son's first real gun for his 13th birthday. Went with the ruger American gen 2 .243 20” barrel partly because of the removable LOP on the stock, then when he's bigger he can still use it as a full size gun. Added an sig buckmaster 3x9 that my brother got him paired with some leupold rings. Thanks for the opinions that I might hear before his next birthday. Shute str8 notes in 90-120 business days Scott G - I noticed we don't talk about Brownells anymore. Are they no longer a sponsor? Matt A - 2 questions…I have a comp'd g43x and am thinking about changing out the guide rod and spring to a lighter weight than the 17# oem spring. Is the a difference or an advantage in using a single spring guide rod set vs dual spring sets? Ammo used is defensive 124 gr jhp. In regards to ammo, what's the benefit to using +p ammo in a comp'd handgun and will the extra pressure negate what the compensator is supposed to do?Thanks and love the show. Chris M - How much does the Gideon Guardeon 1-8x FFP scope weigh? My deer getter, a 16"" .450 bush hamster AR, with a 19oz Dead Air Primal is already getting kind of heavy. I have a swampfox trihawk on it now, and while it's nice, it's also a pound and if I could get more zooms for the same weight, I want to go back to an LPVO The winner of this week's swag pack is Zac C!

In Episode 93, we sit down in person with Djordje Stijepovic, aka BullFiddleCat. Djordje is the upright bass player for Tiger Army, Molotov, Drake Bell, and countless others, along with his own solo project. Frank Quaranted, George, and I had an incredible conversation with Djordje about growing up in Serbia in the 1980s, starting a rockabilly band in fifth grade, and his journey to the United States, where he went on to play with the who's who of the rockabilly world. We also talk music, classic films, and even sample some Serbian liquor he brought along. Great vibes, great stories — both on and off the mic.

In many episodes, we talk about how sound and listening can make a difference for good. We've explored themes like sound healing, music psychology, and deep listening—all ways sound and music thinking can be a force for good. Today is somewhat different. We speak with Fabio Cervi, an audio investigator for Earshot, a non-profit audio investigation organisation that works on the front lines of human rights and environmental advocacy. Fabio's work isn't just about listening; it's about finding evidence. He uses sound to tell the stories of communities affected by violence. In our conversation today, Fabio shares sound files from two astonishing cases. First, we'll hear and deconstruct the evidence from an attack on a silent vigil in Serbia, involving a mysterious sound that people felt rather than heard, and a potential sonic weapon known as an LRAD. Then, we move to the occupied Syrian Golan Heights to explore Zifzafa, a protest video game that uses real-world field recordings to fight against an illegal massive wind turbine project. This is audio as ballistics, as evidence, and as advocacy. It's a truly fascinating look at how sound can be used in the fight for justice.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Artistry Unveiled: A Christmas Ornament's Inspiration Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-12-08-23-34-02-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Снег је тихо падао над Калемегданском тврђавом, стварајући савршену зимску сцену.En: Snow was quietly falling over the Kalemegdan Fortress, creating a perfect winter scene.Sr: Међу древним зидинама тврђаве, мале тезге са сувенирима привлачиле су пажњу посетилаца.En: Among the ancient walls of the fortress, small souvenir stalls were attracting the attention of visitors.Sr: Било је Божићно време, па је радосна атмосфера испуњавала ваздух.En: It was Christmas time, so the joyful atmosphere filled the air.Sr: Милан је шетао кроз тржиште, одевен у топлу јакну и шал.En: Milan was walking through the market, dressed in a warm jacket and scarf.Sr: Као млад уметник, тражио је инспирацију у традиционалним српским занатима.En: As a young artist, he was looking for inspiration in traditional Serbian crafts.Sr: Али, у свим тим бојама и облицима, није могао пронаћи нешто што би га истински инспирисало.En: But in all those colors and shapes, he couldn't find something that truly inspired him.Sr: Свака ствар му је изгледала исто, као да је недостајала права прича иза ње.En: Everything seemed the same, as if a real story was missing behind it.Sr: Тада угледа једну тезгу на којој је стајала Јована, продавачица са осмехом који греје срце.En: Then he spotted a stall where Jovana stood, a vendor with a smile that warmed the heart.Sr: Привукла га је њена топлина и пријатељство.En: He was drawn to her warmth and friendliness.Sr: Јована је волела да дели своју страст према српској баштини.En: Jovana loved sharing her passion for Serbian heritage.Sr: Милан одлучи да приђе.En: Milan decided to approach.Sr: „Добар дан“, рече Милан повучен радозналошћу.En: "Good day," said Milan, pulled by curiosity.Sr: „Да ли ми можете рећи нешто више о овим предметима?En: "Can you tell me more about these items?"Sr: “Јована се насмеши и поче да објашњава.En: Jovana smiled and began to explain.Sr: „Сваки од ових комада има своју причу.En: "Each of these pieces has its own story.Sr: На пример, овај украс је направљен у једном малом селу на северу Србије.En: For example, this ornament was made in a small village in the north of Serbia.Sr: Жене тамо још увек користе традиционалне технике.En: Women there still use traditional techniques."Sr: “Како је причала, Милан је почео да осећа повезаност са предметима.En: As she spoke, Milan started to feel a connection to the items.Sr: Она му је показала један мали, ручно рађен украс.En: She showed him a small, handmade ornament.Sr: „Овo овде“, настави Јована, „преноси причу о традиционалном слављу Божића у Србији.En: "This here," continued Jovana, "conveys the story of traditional Christmas celebrations in Serbia."Sr: “Милан је пажљиво слушао, а када је додирнуо украс, осетио је нешто посебно.En: Milan listened carefully, and when he touched the ornament, he felt something special.Sr: Сећања на празнике са својом породицом, на љубав и топлину дома, све су се вратила.En: Memories of holidays with his family, the love and warmth of home, all came rushing back.Sr: Ова једна мала ствар имала је дубину коју је тражио.En: This one small thing had the depth he was searching for.Sr: Одлучно је рекао: „Желим да купим овај.En: He firmly said, "I want to buy this.Sr: Прича је заиста лепа.En: The story is truly beautiful."Sr: “Јована му је продала украс и пожелела срећан Божић.En: Jovana sold him the ornament and wished him a Merry Christmas.Sr: Милан је оставио тржиште са осмехом, носећи не само украс, већ и нову инспирацију.En: Milan left the market with a smile, carrying not only the ornament but also new inspiration.Sr: Схватио је да је важно повезати се са својим коренима, и то ће бити тема његовог следећег уметничког дела.En: He realized the importance of connecting with his roots, and this would be the theme of his next artwork.Sr: Док је напуштао Калемегдан, снег је још увек падао, али је сада изгледало као да је свака пахуља део боравка у месту где историја и традиција живе у сваком тренутку.En: As he left Kalemegdan, snow was still falling, but now it seemed as if each flake was part of being in a place where history and tradition live in every moment.Sr: Милан је знао да ће ово искуство остати са њим заувек, инспиришући његову уметност и живот.En: Milan knew this experience would stay with him forever, inspiring his art and life.

Brian Walshe is on trial right now in Dedham, Massachusetts for the first-degree murder of his wife Ana — a 39-year-old real estate executive, immigrant from Serbia, and mother of three young boys. Ana was last seen alive in the early hours of New Year's Day 2023. Her body has never been found. But what prosecutors and the defense agree on is this: Brian Walshe dismembered her remains and discarded them in dumpsters across the region. He's already pleaded guilty to that. He just says he didn't kill her. The defense theory is unlike anything we've seen in a high-profile murder case. Attorney Larry Tipton told jurors that Ana Walshe died suddenly and unexpectedly in bed — no cause, no explanation — and that Brian panicked. He didn't think anyone would believe it was natural. So instead of calling 911, he made a series of catastrophic decisions that included internet searches for "best way to dispose of a body," "hacksaw best tool for dismembering," and research into a serial killer known as the "trash bag killer." The defense says those searches prove panic, not premeditation. Prosecutors see it differently. They've told the jury this was a planned killing motivated by money and betrayal. Ana had $2.7 million in life insurance policies naming Brian as the sole beneficiary. She was also having an affair with William Fastow, a D.C. real estate broker — and prosecutors say Brian knew. His phone searched Fastow's name on Christmas Day, less than a week before Ana vanished. The internet searches, prosecutors argue, aren't evidence of panic. They're a roadmap. In this full breakdown, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins me to dissect every angle of this case. We start with the defense strategy: the decision to plead guilty to the lesser charges, the viability of the "sudden death" theory, and whether putting Walshe on the stand is a necessary gamble. Then we dig into the prosecution's case: the digital evidence, the insurance motive, the affair, and the challenges of proving first-degree murder without a body. Finally, we examine the trial dynamics — including the Michael Proctor scandal, Walshe's jail stabbing and mental competency evaluation, and what to watch as this case heads toward a verdict. This is a case that will test the limits of circumstantial evidence and force a jury to answer an almost impossible question: Can you believe a man who admits he cut up his wife when he says he didn't kill her? #BrianWalshe #BrianWalsheTrial #AnaWalshe #MurderTrial #EricFaddis #DefenseAttorney #FormerProsecutor #FullBreakdown #NoBodyMurder #Dismemberment #LifeInsurance #GoogleSearches #MichaelProctor #KarenRead #Massachusetts #TrueCrime #CourtTV #TrialAnalysis #Cohasset #SuddenDeathDefense #WilliamFastow #FirstDegreeMurder #CircumstantialEvidence #CriminalJustice #TrueCrimePodcast #LegalAnalysis #DeepDive Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A week of intensive US diplomacy is wrapping up, with no Ukraine deal in sight, and escalating threats from Moscow. 30 years ago, the Dayton Agreement brought an end to the savage war in Bosnia, where, like Putin's dream of a greater Russia today, Serbia wanted more land and control, not an independent Bosnia. Rupert Smith was commander of the United Nations peacekeeping forces at the end of that conflict. Through his four decades in the military, he also led troops in the first Gulf war and Northern Ireland. He joins the program from London.

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary sits down with Xenia Dmitrovic, a former tennis prodigy turned model, actress, stunt performer, and emerging creator whose extraordinary life story proves that your past can become your greatest creative power. Raised in Serbia during wartime and shaped by hardship, loss, and reinvention, Xenia now blends sport, fashion, and storytelling into content that's raw, expressive, and deeply human. After losing her father at just 14 and watching her tennis career disappear overnight, Xenia was forced to rebuild her identity from the ground up. At 17, she left Serbia with nothing but determination, moving to China alone before eventually landing in the United States on a full athletic scholarship. Today, she uses the resilience forged in those early years to fuel her creative voice and inspire others to own their stories. Xenia opens up about the pressure of growing up in a culture where you're expected to be “everything or nothing,” the trauma she carried into adulthood, and the moment Gary held up a mirror that changed how she viewed her own accomplishments. She shares the fears that held her back from showing her real story online, how she overcame criticism and anonymity-driven hate on YouTube, and why embracing vulnerability has been the key to unlocking her artistic identity.

Nemo (Nemanja) Maric, head coach at Hoosac School / ISA (AAA), joins Cory to unpack a true Euro–U.S. hybrid approach to prep school basketball development. Maric shares his journey from Serbia and a 13-year pro career to building a multinational roster under one roof—where 20+ countries train, lift, and study within a system that blends European team concepts (spacing, reads, ball movement) with American individual creativity (one-on-one scoring, athletic standards). He explains why multi-sport participation helps athletes' decision-making and body awareness, how ISA–Hoosac runs open gyms that draw 100+ college programs, and why honest, low-turnover guards who kick out on paint touches translate fastest to college.You'll also hear candid guidance on playing time (earn it), parent communication (player-led first), college placement across D1/D2/D3/JUCO, and the real benefits of NEPSAC AAA competition for exposure and growth. Maric closes with a forward look at NIL-era pipelines, where schools may formalize multi-level systems from prep to college.Families mapping the prep-to-college pathway: this episode delivers clear, practical next steps—no hype, just what actually works.
From the BBC World Service: The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, and its founder, Changpeng Zhao, are being sued by victims and family members of victims in the October 2023 attack in Israel. They're accusing Binance of knowingly enabling terrorist groups like Hamas to move more than $1 billion through its platform. Also: a slowdown at Serbia's Russian-owned oil refinery, growing risks to European undersea cables, and rerouted flights after an Ethiopian volcano eruption.

In a recent interview with podcast host Alan Skorski, historian and author Uri Kaufman discussed his forthcoming book, American Intifada: Israel, the Gaza War, and the New Antisemitism, arguing that progressive support for Hamas following the October 7, 2023, massacre stems from cognitive dissonance and a racialized worldview that casts Israelis as “white oppressors” and Palestinians as “people of color.” Kaufman, whose previous work on the Yom Kippur War was named a top history book by the Financial Times, pointed to former President Barack Obama's post-October 7 comments as a prime example. Obama stated that “nobody's hands are clean” in the conflict and described the situation for Palestinians as “unbearable,” partly attributing it to Israel's “occupation.” “There was no occupation,” Kaufman said, noting Israel's full withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, including the removal of all settlements and even the exhumation of Jewish graves. He called Obama's reference to an ongoing occupation factually incorrect and not merely an instance of cognitive dissonance, but a deliberate distortion. Cognitive dissonance, Kaufman explained, occurs when individuals alter facts to preserve deeply held beliefs rather than adjust those beliefs. For many progressives, he argued, an obsession with race leads them to view Gazans as oppressed people of color and Israeli Jews — regardless of the country's ethnic diversity — as privileged whites. This framework, he said, allows supporters to justify calls for humanitarian aid to Hamas-ruled Gaza even after the group's October 7 attack killed 1,200 people, involved widespread rape and the burning of infants, and resulted in 250 hostages being taken. “Imagine if white supremacists controlled Gaza and committed the same atrocities against Black Israelis,” Kaufman posed hypothetically. “No one on the left would demand aid for them. But because Palestinians are seen as people of color, the same rules don't apply.” Kaufman also addressed Israel's intelligence failure leading to October 7, attributing it to the “Conceptzia” — a prevailing assumption that Hamas would never risk its lucrative arrangements with Israel by launching a full-scale attack. Prior to the massacre, he noted, Israel supplied Gaza with massive amounts of aid: in 2022 alone, 5.7 billion gallons of water, two-thirds of its electricity, all of its fuel, 67,000 truckloads of goods, and work permits for 17,000 Gazans. “Hamas was willing to sacrifice everything for jihad,” Kaufman said. “Israel had no Plan B because it never imagined an enemy would choose national suicide over survival.” On shifting global attitudes, Kaufman described a “moral collapse” in Western Europe and parts of the English-speaking world, including Canada, Australia, France and the United Kingdom. Yet he highlighted strong pro-Israel sentiment in Central and Eastern Europe — such as Hungary, Poland and Serbia — as well as in Asian democracies like South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. -VIN News Alan Skorski Reports 25NOV2025 - PODCAST

The Dayton Peace Accords were signed on the 21 November 1995, ending the three-and-a-half-year war in Bosnia. The war was part of the break-up of Yugoslavia; it is estimated that 100,000 people were killed. In 2010, Lucy Williamson spoke to Milan Milutinović who was one of the leading negotiators for the Serbian delegation about the final 24 hours of negotiations.

Today marks the signing of the historic 1995 Dayton Agreement, which brought over three years of brutal fighting in Bosnia to an end. The Agreement yields important lessons today about bridging deep divides and finding a path to peace even in the most improbable conditions. Two key architects of the Agreement, Carl Bildt, High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1995-97), and Christopher Hill, former US Ambassador to Serbia, join Christiane to reflect on the challenges of reaching the agreement and how it can help guide solutions for today's most pressing conflicts.

Across the globe, memorial and grave sites are being increasingly weaponized in conflicts and politicized by parties to advance agendas. Here, Carol S. Lilly examines ideas of death, politics, memory, ideology and nationalism in the former Yugoslav republics of Bosnia & Hercegovina, Croatia, and Serbia to shine fresh light on cemetery culture in 20th-century Europe.More specifically, Death and Burial in Socialist Yugoslavia: The Politicization of Cemeteries and Ethnic Conflict in the Balkans (Bloomsbury, 2024) argues that while the CPY created its own communities of the dead in postwar Partisan Cemeteries, it failed to do the same for civilian cemeteries in ways that might reinforce its ideals of secularism, pluralism, and brotherhood and unity. Moreover, the communist regime left the previous system of ethno-religious segregation in place, further isolating Catholics, Orthodox, Muslims and Jews who continued to be buried in separate locations. Finally, it explicitly politicized burial rites and grave markers, making cemeteries into legitimate spaces of political discourse.As a result, by the time Yugoslavia disintegrated in the early 1990s, dead bodies and cemeteries had become a concerted weapon of war in the ongoing ethnic conflict. Ultimately, then, this timely study reveals for the first time the extent to which the communist regime not only failed to created their own communities of the dead but also further divided and alienated living communities in Yugoslavia.

SHOW 11-12-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1930 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CHINA'S LEADERSHIP. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Allied AI Competition and Submarine Requests. Scott Harold examines the crucial role of allies Japan and South Korea in the AI competition against China. Japan is developing locally tailored AI models built on US technology for use in Southeast Asia. South Korea aims to become the third-largest AI power, offering reliable models to counter China's untrustworthy technology. Harold also discusses South Korea's surprising request for nuclear-powered, conventionally armed submarines to track Chinese and North Korean vessels, signaling a greater public willingness to contribute to China deterrence. 915-930 Rare Earths Monopoly and US Strategy. General Blaine Holt discusses China's challenge to the US and its allies regarding rare earths, noting that China previously threatened to cut off supply. The US is securing deals with partners like Australia and is on track to replace China entirely, despite initial processing reliance on Chinese predatory practices. Holt suggests a two-year recovery is conservative, as technology for domestic processing exists. He also notes China's leadership is in turmoil, trying to buy time through trade deals. 930-945 Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 945-1000 Buckley, Fusionism, and Conservative Integrity. Peter Berkowitz explores William F. Buckley's consolidation of the conservative movement through "fusionism"—blending limited government and social conservatism. Buckley purged the movement of anti-Semites based on core principles. Berkowitz uses this historical context to analyze the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson giving a platform to Nick Fuentes, who openly celebrates Stalin and Hitler. This incident caused division after the Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson, prompting Roberts to issue an apology. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability. Simon Constable analyzes rare earth markets, noting China's dominance is achieved through undercutting prices and buying out competitors. Prices for key industrial commodities like copper and aluminum are up, indicating high demand. Constable also discusses UK political instability, noting that Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks natural leadership and confidence. The major political driver for a potential leadership change is the party's broken promise regarding income taxes, which severely undermines public trust before the next election, 1015-1030 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability.

Carola Binder discusses the Austrian School of Economics, highlighting its focus on free markets and Ludwig von Mises's opposition to government "interventionism," including rent and price controls. Mises argued these policies distort markets, leading to shortages and inefficiency. Binder emphasizes Mises's belief that economic literacy is a primary civic duty necessary for citizens to reject socialism and interventionist panaceas, especially as new generations are exposed to such ideas. 1045-1100 Austrian Economics, Von Mises, and the Fight Against Interventionism.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1115-1130 AI, Cyber Attacks, and Nuclear Deterrence. Peter Huessy discusses the challenges to nuclear deterrence posed by AI and cyber intrusions. General Flynn highlighted that attacks on satellites, the backbone of deterrence, could prevent the US from confirming where a launch originated. Huessy emphasizes the need to improve deterrence, noting that the US likely requires presidential authorization for retaliation, unlike potential Russian "dead hand" systems. The biggest risk is misinformation delivered by cyber attacks, although the US maintains stringent protocols and would never launch based solely on a computer warning. 1130-1145 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. 1145-1200 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence.

Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Corruption, Chinese Influence, and Protests in Serbia. Ivana Stradner discusses protests in Serbia demanding accountability one year after a canopy collapse killed 16 people, with investigations linking the accident to high-level corruption involving a Chinese company. Leader Vučić suppresses discontent by alleging the West is plotting a "color revolution." Although Vučić aligns his heart with Russia and China, he needs EU money for political survival, prompting him to offer weapons to the West and claim Serbia is on the EU path. 1215-1230 The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Network. Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1230-1245 Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA. Bob Zimmerman covers new records in commercial space: SpaceX achieved 147 launches this year, and one booster tied the Space Shuttle Columbia for 28 reuses. China also set a record with 70 launches but had a failure. Commercial space faced temporary impacts, such as an FAA launch curfew due to a government shutdown and air traffic controller shortages. Zimmerman speculates that Jared Isaacman's conservative-leaning public appearance at Turning Point USA might have convinced Trump to renominate him for NASA Administrator. 1245-100 AM Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA.

PREVIEW. Serbia's Triumvirate Links to China and Russia; European Trojan Horses. John Batchelor speaks with Ivana Stradner about Serbia's close ties to China and Russia, despite being in the Western Balkans. China has a huge economic and security impact on Serbia, sending weapons and holding military exercises. This relationship is a test for Europe, as Orbán and Fico are called "Trojan horses" acting for authoritarian leaders. 1904 SERBIA
