Ever since I heard the Argentine saxophonist Gato Barbieri back in the Seventies, I've been fascinated by musicians from South America who found their way to jazz.Lately there seems to be a strong showing of contemporary musicians from various Latin American countries who not only play jazz but also mix certain Latin American folk traditions into their sound.So, this week I spoke with six of them: vocalist Claudia Acuña from Chile, Argentine vocalists Sofia Rei and Roxana Amed, Mexican vocalist Magos Herrera, guitarist/vocalist Camila Meza and tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana.Each has a story about identity, living the jazz dream and how they came to jazz.Hopefully you'll use this roadmap to start your own journey into jazz, if you haven't already.- FelixMusic heard in this episode:Claudia Acuña - “Prelude To A Kiss”Sofia Rei - “El Gavilán”Gato Barieri - “To Be Continued”Roxana Amed - “Corazón delator”Mangos Herrera - “Luz de Luna”Camila Meza - “Utopia”Melissa Aldana - “A Purpose”Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Hey everybody! Episode 173 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Rael Inshan. Rael is an interesting guy who specializes in the amanita muscaria mushroom. I was really happy to have him on to speak about this sacred medicine as its not a topic I have covered much. We spoke about his difficult childhood and how that led him to South America to work with different indigenous medicine traditions. This eventually led him to discover the amanita muscaria mushroom in the woods near him and to begin working with it and to learn, firsthand, it's benefits. He speaks about the wisdom it has taught him about it's medicine on the individual level as well as the collective and a vision of a new earth that he feels the mushroom is guiding us towards.

In the late 1700s, Indigenous peoples in the Spanish colonies of the Andes were forced to work for the Spanish. They tilled the land, worked in the textile mills and the mines. Those that didn't faced heavy taxes. But in early November 1780, Indigenous Incan leader Tupac Amaru II led an uprising against the Spanish that he hoped would end it all.It was the largest revolt against colonial Spain. Thousands would join the months-long rebellion. It would inspire uprisings elsewhere across the continent, and independence leaders. South America would gain its freedom from Spain just 40 years later.BIG NEWS! This podcast has won Gold in this year's Signal Awards for best history podcast! It's a huge honor.

Welcome back, everyone, for the conclusion of my interview with retired DEA Special Agents Steve Murphy, Chris Feistl, and Wes Tabor as we talk about recent maritime operations in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific involving the U.S. Navy eliminating drug running vessels. Here’s a little bit about these legends in the DEA. DEA Special Agent Wes Tabor was embedded in Venezuela, battling the drug cartel and gangs for three years. He had a front-row seat to the prospering drug trade and threat to the United States and wrote the book, Infiltrate America: Blood Routes and the Rise of Latin American Gangs. Retired DEA Special Agent Steve Murphy and his partner Javier Pena are best known for taking down the Medellin Cartel and its leader, Pablo Escobar. Steve is an expert in drug smuggling and cartels and is considered an expert in the world of narcoterrorism. Steve and Javier’s work was featured in many television documentaries and was featured in the Netflix special, DEA Narcos. Retired DEA Special Agent Chris Feistl and his partner Dave Mitchell are best known for taking down the Cali Cartel and its leaders Gilberto and Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela. Chris’s work was featured in many television documentaries and was also featured in season three of the Netflix special DEA Narcos. After listening to these three experts, it is clearer than ever to me that narcoterrorism is brewing in South and Central America is a clear and present danger to our country. Please enjoy this eye-opening and informative interview with real experts and not celebrities or people stuck in their echo chambers making stuff up as they go along. In today’s episode, we discuss: ·      What gives us the legal right to conduct these maritime operations?. ·      The Maduro family tree of drug running. ·      Maritime operations with the DEA. ·      The president is not ruling out strikes on Venezuelan drug production sites. Also, he is hinting that the next phase is ground assaults on illegal drug transportation. What have we done in the past to curtail these ground operations, and how effective have they been? ·      UN Article 51 ·      The president has said that for every drug running boat that is sunk, it is saving 25,000 American lives. ·      Most homicides or violent crimes have a nexus to illegal street drugs. ·      The complacency in this country regarding illegal narcotics. ·      Can we put aside our hatred of some for the president, for the common good, ahead of our feelings? ·      How does it make you feel, as retired DEA agents who spent a good chunk of your lives fighting high-level drug operations, that we now have a government that seems to be taking illegal drug operations seriously?      All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.      Visit Steve Murphy's website!

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Shakira has been in the headlines as much for her record-shattering world tour as for her business ventures and award recognition. The most significant news is her continued dominance with the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour now officially the highest-grossing Latin tour ever by a woman and second overall, having brought in over 327 million dollars from just its first 64 shows according to Billboard and Wikipedia. She played a sold-out show in Mexico City on August 26 and the tour just rolled through Guadalajara the night of the MTV Video Music Awards on September 7 which she missed despite taking home Best Latin Song for Soltera her chart-topping single named by AOL as edging out the likes of Bad Bunny and Karol G. Shakira stayed in Mexico to honor her prior concert commitments rather than attend the awards show in New York.Social media has been buzzing with fan videos and professional photography from her recent Mexican shows where Shakira has been delivering a career-spanning setlist and elaborate new stage effects. Clips of her and Mexican pop star Danna performing Soltera together are trending and local press have featured glowing reviews of her gigantic multi-million dollar production. Fashionistas on Instagram are also dissecting her custom stage looks reportedly crafted by Atelier Versace and Indian designer Anamika Khanna—shining a bright light once more on Shakira's boundary-pushing style.Beyond music Shakira's influence continues with news breaking in the past week that she has joined the FIFA Global Citizen board, working alongside names like Ivanka Trump on a hundred million dollar fund for global education as reported by CNBC TV18. This adds to her extensive philanthropic record and is seen as a step with lasting biographical impact as it highlights her ongoing commitment to causes beyond entertainment.Future dates are selling out across South America with upcoming stadium shows in Bogotá on November 1 and Santiago's Estadio Nacional on November 22. No new major relationship news has appeared in the past week and contrary to social media speculation about her personal life Shakira keeps her focus on her children and career. Her team has not responded to unsubstantiated rumors circulating on fan forums regarding possible new music collaborations or surprise guests for her Latin American tour legs—these remain speculation.The headline: Shakira has achieved another historic milestone as a touring artist while balancing major philanthropic and business undertakings, all as her global popularity and cultural impact show no signs of waning. Her ongoing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour is not just a victory lap but a bold reinvention cementing Shakira's place at the very top of global pop culture.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Scientists in Australia just discovered a huge Megaraptor, and it's a total game-changer. This dinosaur had massive claws and was way bigger than anyone thought lived there during that time. Before, most people believed Australia didn't have giant predatory dinosaurs like the ones found in other parts of the world. But this Megaraptor proves that ferocious, massive hunters were roaming the ancient Aussie landscape too. It also hints that Australia's dinosaur history is way more connected to South America and Antarctica than we realized. Basically, everything we thought we knew about dinosaurs Down Under just got flipped! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the Full Video on YouTube - click hereWhen people in the automotive world talk about leaders who bring out the best in others, Kim Less's name always surfaces. As Vice President of aftersales for Nissan Americas, she leads a team of more than 1,600 people in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and South America.Her leadership philosophy? Constant gentle pressure. The phrase, which came from Danny Meyer, perfectly captures how Kim shows up daily. To her, "constant" means persistence and accountability. "Gentle" means having your team's back while guiding them toward growth. And "pressure" is the drive to win, move with urgency, and deliver. Together, they form the balance she strives for: leading with calm confidence but never without expectation.At Nissan, Kim has spent years redefining what aftersales means inside the organization. For her, aftersales isn't an "afterthought," it's the engine that fuels brand loyalty and future sales. Leading across multiple countries means managing different cultures, languages, and expectations. Kim talks about how she's brought the entire Americas region together as one unified team. She does that by traveling to meet teams in person and building relationships and credibility. Over time, those consistent actions turned into a shared culture built on mutual respect and accountability.As the automotive industry evolves, Nissan is focused on simplifying its processes to make quicker decisions. Kim recalls working with the dealer advisory board to streamline 60 dealer-facing programs; removing or simplifying two-thirds to sharpen focus on what truly matters. To her, simplification isn't about doing less; it's about removing distractions so teams can move faster and stay focused on impact.She ties that same thinking to the importance of trust inside organizations. Once people trust each other and the data and systems they rely on, they no longer waste time validating every decision. That's when speed naturally follows. She also reflects on the personal side of leadership and the lessons from finding balance. Earlier in her career, while raising twins, she often hesitated to step away from work for family events. Over time, she learned that setting boundaries wasn't a weakness but a necessity. Now, she mentors others, urging them to "own their calendar," set limits, and protect their well-being. It's advice she lives by and passes down to emerging leaders who often feel pressured to choose between career and personal life.Themes discussed in this episode:How Kim Less applies “constant gentle pressure” to balance accountability, empathy, and performance in leading Nissan Aftersales AmericasThe leadership lessons Kim Less learned from Saturn and GM that shaped her people-first approach at NissanWhy calm leadership and consistency drive stronger team alignment across multiple cultures and regions in the AmericasThe business case for aftersales as a core growth engine that strengthens brand loyalty and customer lifetime valueThe transformation of Nissan's Aftersales organization through simplification, streamlined programs, and faster decision-makingThe process of uniting 1,600 employees across North and South America under one shared vision and operating modelThe importance of visiting markets and building relationships in person to earn credibility and alignmentHow setting boundaries, owning your calendar, and leading with authenticity sustain energy and focus in high-pressure rolesFeatured guest:

What happens when an agtech startup with market pull, a clear mission, and global momentum still doesn't make it?Nikki Davey is the founder of Grown Not Flown, which helped thousands of local flower growers reach customers who wanted sustainable blooms. Nikki's app directly addressed the problem of ‘flower miles'. In Australia and the US, a store bought bouquet is likely to be made up of flowers that have been flown long distances, from places such as South America, Asia, or Africa.Nikki won the National AgriFutures Rural Women's Award in 2023 for Grown Not Flown, which helped to further establish the business. But, as the Grown Not Flown app was taken up across multiple countries, the challenge of scaling became harder for the startup and ultimately it was wound up. In this candid, episode Sarah and Nikki discuss:·  Misconceptions about the hardest part of founding an agtech startup.·  The realities of small founding teams,  finding investors, and scaling with limited resources.·  The emotional toll of what happens when your identity is tied to your startup.·  Why the end of a business does not mean the end of the missionUseful Resources:Victorian rural tech entrepreneur Nikki Davey named the 2023 AgriFutures Rural Women's Award National WinnerAre agtech startups just digital agribusinesses?

#188 - What happens when a comedian with a camera trades stage lights for sunrise on a dirt road and points his vehicle toward Panama? I sat down with author and traveler Matt Savino to unpack a seven-month run along the Pan American Highway that never reached South America yet somehow delivered everything he was chasing: humor in the chaos, humanity at the barricades, and a clear-eyed love for places most maps flatten.Matt takes us from Baja's empty beaches and Dr. Seuss–worthy boojum forests to the food capitals of Puebla and Oaxaca, where mole lessons and tlayudas become their own itinerary. He opens the door on a Nicaraguan uprising, describing the day he edged through student roadblocks by listening first and moving only when trust appeared. Then the road shifts again: Costa Rica's bold choice to scrap its army and invest in parks and schools, and a volunteer's-eye view inside the Panama Canal's towering locks, where global trade rises and falls like a stage cue.We also dig into Land Without a Continent, Matt's sharp, funny travel memoir that blends road stories with deep dives into Mesoamerican history and modern politics. With a researcher's rigor and a comic's timing, he shows how travel rewires assumptions: Central America's identity, the real cost of a “normal life,” and why empathy is the best gear you can pack. If you've ever wondered whether to overland, backpack, or simply follow your curiosity, this story maps the trade-offs and the rewards.Subscribe, share with a friend who loves smart travel stories, and leave a review to help more explorers find the show.

Retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer returns to The P.A.S. Report to analyze how President Trump's foreign policy is reshaping global power dynamics, from enforcing the Gaza ceasefire and forcing Hamas's disarmament to confronting Russia and ending the Ukraine war. Shaffer explains why Trump's foreign policy doctrine of diplomacy backed by force is redefining America's role in the world. The discussion dives deep into the new threat from drug cartels, China's growing influence in Latin America, and how the next administration plans to restore order at home and abroad. Episode Highlights Middle East Reset: Trump's push for Arab-led governance in Gaza, the Abraham Accords, and sidelining Hamas. Ukraine Reality Check: Why Shaffer says the war is unwinnable, Putin needs an off-ramp, and Trump must play the "Russia card" to split Moscow from Beijing. The New Warfront: U.S. plans to target cartels as terror groups, China's role in fentanyl production, and how the next conflict could come from our own southern border.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Obinna Isiadinso, Global Sector Lead for Data Center Investments at the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group and the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. Obinna leads investment teams on valuation and execution considerations, reviews private equity and credit transaction structures, and participates in transaction negotiations in the Data Center and Cloud sectors in emerging markets globally. He is also the author of the Global Data Center Hub on Substack (linked here). His career spans private equity, infrastructure, and real assets. We were thrilled to host Obinna and learn from him on one of today's most dynamic topics. In our discussion, Obinna outlines the IFC's role as the private financing arm of the World Bank, shares his background in private equity and digital infrastructure, and describes his current global portfolio focus. He explains the IFC's structure and mission to achieve commercial returns while ensuring developmental impact, its ~$100 billion balance sheet, and dual role as a lender and equity investor. We cover the IFC's role in digital infrastructure and data centers, why data centers matter for emerging market development, the IFC's investment approach and capital structure, and Obinna's Substack, which tracks and summarizes global data center activity. We discuss global market sizing (U.S. ~30 GW; Northern Virginia 3–4 GW; Europe FLAP-D ~1-1.5 GW each; South America ~1 GW; Africa ~500 MW, ~250 MW in South Africa; India ~1.2-1.3 GW; China ~3-4 GW; Malaysia ~250 MW with ~1 GW pipeline in 3-5 years), the growth outlook with hyperscalers planning to add 30-50 GW in 3-5 years and roughly ~$400 billion capex this year, cost benchmarks ($10-12 million/MW plus chips), build times, EBITDA economics, current valuation multiples, the evolving fuel mix, and the IFC's sustainability criteria. Obinna summarizes the IFC's market-by-market approach to energy sourcing, rising power demand in emerging markets (and potential competition for scarce power), the IFC's initiatives to expand generation and grid capacity in Africa, and the Middle East's bid to be a ‘Switzerland of AI Infrastructure.' We ended by asking Obinna for key trends he's watching including diversification of AI models, continuous training workloads, and growing private credit participation. It was a fascinating conversation and we can't thank Obinna enough for joining and sharing his insights. We look forward to staying in touch. Mike Bradley noted that this will be a pivotal week for markets, with the FOMC rate decision on Wednesday, a slew of Q3 reports from Big AI/Tech and Energy/Electricity companies throughout this week, and an OPEC+ meeting being held over the weekend. In the bond market, the 10-year bond yield continues to be stuck in the 4% range. The Fed is expected to cut interest rates by 25bps both this week and again in December. On the oil market front, WTI price has slipped back to ~$60/bbl as oil traders seem fixated again on the 2026 oil supply surplus rather than Russian oil sanctions. OPEC+ is expected to raise November oil production by another 137kbpd (similar to October) at this weekend's OPEC+ meeting. At Veriten, we still envision oil markets in 2026 being a “tale of two markets” with 1H26 being challenged and 2H26 being pretty constructive. In global market news, President Javier Milei's party scored a major win in Argentina's legislative elections, sending bond yields lower, the peso modestly higher, and a 20%+ surge in the Argentina stock market. On the broader equity market front, the S&P 500 continues to reach new highs with this week's move mostly due to optimism of a China-U.S. trade deal. A handful of Big AI/Tech names will be reporting this week (AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, META & MSFT) which could increase broader marke

Hamas Slow-Rolls Hostage Returns to Avoid Disarmament, as Iran Remains Defiant. Malcolm Hoenlein discusses Hamas's slow-rolling of deceased hostage returns to avoid disarmament, a key condition of the peace talks. He notes Iran remains defiant, reconstituting its nuclear program at sites like Tehran 2 and using Georgia to evade sanctions. The discussion also covers the naming of a successor for PA President Abbas and highlights Javier Milei's landslide victory in Argentina as a stabilizing factor in South America. 1922

SHOW 10-25-27 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT PAKISTAN FIRST HOUR 9-915 Afghan-Pakistan Peace Talks and the Imprisonment of Imran Khan. Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss Afghan-Pakistan peace talks, which are unlikely to achieve long-term peace as Pakistan feels "cocky." Trump's efforts are seen as ironic, given the issues stemming from the Doha agreement. Discussion turns to Imran Khan's imprisonment; the military fears his party's survival and aims to keep him from power. China's financial support for Pakistan is also noted as flagging. 915-930 Afghan-Pakistan Peace Talks and the Imprisonment of Imran Khan. Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss Afghan-Pakistan peace talks, which are unlikely to achieve long-term peace as Pakistan feels "cocky." Trump's efforts are seen as ironic, given the issues stemming from the Doha agreement. Discussion turns to Imran Khan's imprisonment; the military fears his party's survival and aims to keep him from power. China's financial support for Pakistan is also noted as flagging. 930-945 Israel Seeks Reliable Multinational Force to Prevent Hamas Resurgence in Gaza. David Daoud discusses Israel's primary concern regarding a multinational force in Gaza: ensuring its reliability to prevent Hamas's resurgence or rearmament. Hamas is reasserting control and slow-rolling the recovery of remaining hostages' bodies to establish the ceasefire. US drones monitor adherence to the ceasefire. Israel has ended the emergency status in the south, signaling a slow return to normal life. 945-1000 Iran Defies West on Nuclear Program Despite Loss of Key Scientists. Jonathan Schanzer discusses Iran's defiant nuclear program, noting the procurement of air defense systems from Russia and China is debatable. A major setback has been the loss of nuclear scientists due to targeted assassinations. Iran is heavily supporting the Houthis (now a full proxy), sending ballistic missile components and IRGC officials to help assemble them in Yemen. Snapback sanctions' impact on Iran's partnerships with Russia and China remains uncertain. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Hamas Slow-Rolls Hostage Returns to Avoid Disarmament, as Iran Remains Defiant. Malcolm Hoenlein discusses Hamas's slow-rolling of deceased hostage returns to avoid disarmament, a key condition of the peace talks. He notes Iran remains defiant, reconstituting its nuclear program at sites like Tehran 2 and using Georgia to evade sanctions. The discussion also covers the naming of a successor for PA President Abbas and highlights Javier Milei's landslide victory in Argentina as a stabilizing factor in South America. 1015-1030 Hamas Slow-Rolls Hostage Returns to Avoid Disarmament, as Iran Remains Defiant.

He notes Iran remains defiant, reconstituting its nuclear program at sites like Tehran 2 and using Georgia to evade sanctions. The discussion also covers the naming of a successor for PA President Abbas and highlights Javier Milei's landslide victory in Argentina as a stabilizing factor in South America. 1030-1045 Russia Tests Nuclear Missile Amid Tough Winter and Increased US Sanctions. John Hardie analyzes Russia's reported successful test of the nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile. This test is likely aimed at pressuring the US into arms control talks, rather than impacting the Ukraine battlefield. On the ground, the situation in Pokrovsk has deteriorated due to Russian infiltration. The US has shifted from diplomacy to pressure, imposing sanctions on major Russian oil companies. 1045-1100 Anti-Hamas Clans and Militias Challenge Hamas's Control in Gaza. Ahmad Sharawi discusses the challenge to Hamas's power in Gaza by anti-Hamas clans and militias, some allegedly backed by Israel. Groups like the Dughmush clan and Yasser Abu Shabbab's Popular Forces contest Hamas's control and monopolization of aid. Hamas deters these rivals, labeling them "collaborators," as Gaza fragments into controlled pockets or "bantustans." THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Poised to De-escalate Trade Dispute with Trump. Conrad Black analyzes the US-Canada trade dispute ignited by Ontario Premier Doug Ford's ad criticizing US tariffs. Black notes that while Ford was "cheeky," President Trump overreacted by suspending negotiations and mandating 10% tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney, seen as a diplomatic and well-informed figure, is expected to de-escalate the issue and work toward a reasonable agreement at the upcoming Asian conference. 1115-1130 AQAP Targets Anti-Houthi Forces Amidst Cooperation with Houthis and Iran. Bridget Toomey reports on AQAP's attack on anti-Houthi Yemeni soldiers. AQAP and the Houthis have an informal non-aggression agreement, sometimes cooperating on weapon smuggling. Iran supplies advanced arms to the Houthis and has maintained a relationship with al-Qaeda leadership for two decades. This cooperation, despite sectarian differences, aims to destabilize Yemen and the region. 1130-1145 Milei's Libertarian Win in Argentina Signals 'MAGA Tide' in Latin America. Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo analyze Javier Milei's decisive win in Argentina, viewing it as a model for Latin America and a victory for Donald Trump. The result signals a reduction of the "pink tide" and emergence of a "MAGA tide." Trump is leveraging trade talks to pressure Brazil's President Lula da Silva regarding Bolsonaro and alignment with China, reconfiguring power in the region. 1145-1200 Milei's Libertarian Win in Argentina Signals 'MAGA Tide' in Latin America. Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo analyze Javier Milei's decisive win in Argentina, viewing it as a model for Latin America and a victory for Donald Trump. The result signals a reduction of the "pink tide" and emergence of a "MAGA tide." Trump is leveraging trade talks to pressure Brazil's President Lula da Silva regarding Bolsonaro and alignment with China, reconfiguring power in the region. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215    US Pressure on Xi Jinping May Lead to Release of Jimmy Lai. Mark Simon is encouraged that President Trump plans to raise the fate of persecuted publisher Jimmy Lai with Xi Jinping. Simon believes China must resolve the "Jimmy Lai problem" but will likely demand concessions, such as sanctions relief. Lai's release, potentially via a humanitarian or commuted sentence route, would pave the way for the release of hundreds of other Hong Kong dissidents. 1215-1230 Trump's Tariff Policy Gains Victory in Trade Truce with China. Alan Tonelson assesses the US-China trade truce, viewing it as a major victory for President Trump's tariff policies. China agreed to delay rare earth export controls and buy US farm goods. This move is seen as desperate by Xi Jinping, whose economy is undermined by US technology curbs. China's predatory practices defined the relationship until Trump decided to use American leverage. 1230-1245 vUS Tariffs Drive Canada Toward Greater Economic Integration with China. Charles Burton discusses how US tariff aggression, fueled by Premier Doug Ford quoting Ronald Reagan to criticize US trade policy, is pushing Canada toward China. The uncertainty over Trump's response makes negotiating difficult, prompting speculation Canada may renew free trade talks with Beijing, remove investment restrictions, and possibly join the Belt and Road Initiative. 1245-100 AM Trump Demands Higher Defense Spending from New Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi. Lance Gatling reports on President Trump's visit to Tokyo and his meeting with the new Prime Minister, Takaichi. Trump is expected to demand increased defense spending. Takaichi plans to accelerate doubling the defense budget to 2% of GDP. A major concern is Trump asking Japan to stop buying energy from Russia, which supplies Japanese LNG. Takaichi enjoys surprisingly strong domestic support.

It's Tuesday, October 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson South African government regulating churches Earlier this month, the South African government agency, known as the Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Rights Commission, launched a committee to regulate churches in the country. The new committee will most likely make determinations as to “what qualifies as a religion,” who may be recognized as a religious leader, and where churches may worship. The concern is also that this governmental power would force churches to come under State-approved umbrella bodies. The nation's churches have scheduled a march to the Parliament building in Cape Town, the capital of South Africa, on November 13th. South Africa rejects self-defense as reason to own a gun The South African Parliament is also considering additional restrictions on firearms to remove “self-defense” as a valid reason to own a gun. This would remove meaningful protection for families, farms, and churches from violent criminals, in one of the most violent nations on Earth. The Communists and the left-leaning African National Congress have 51% control of the South African parliament. Turmoil in Chinese Communist Party The Chinese Communist government is still in turmoil. At this moment, 38 of the 205 members of the central committee failed to appear for the big Plenum session last week. Of the 33 generals on the Committee, 22 were missing. Trump to meet with Chinese president Xi Jinping on Asian tour President Donald Trump met with Japan's newly elected Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi yesterday. This week, he will move on to high level meetings in South Korea and China, with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday.  The White House announced that President Trump has signed historic peace deals with Cambodia and Thailand, trade deals with Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, and minerals deals with Malaysia and Thailand. Javier Milei's mid-term election triumph in Argentina The results for Argentina's mid-term elections are in.  And Javier Milei's Libertarian Party crushed it, reports Reuters. Now, Milei's party has 41% control of the legislature which is up from 26% in 2023. The left wing party dropped off from 44% to 32% which is an 11% decline. Milei's agenda will have stronger legislative backing for more reforms in tax reduction and deregulation of business for the country. Bolivia rejects socialism And, by God's sovereign order of things, Bolivia has a new president as of last week, reports CBS News. Rodrigo Paz is more centrist — a change after 20 years of socialism in this mountainous country of South America. Not surprisingly, socialist countries like Venezuela and Bolivia are the poorest countries in all of South America. King Charles III glorified sodomy King Charles III of England glorified homosexuality yesterday by placing flowers at a newly constructed memorial to homosexuals serving in the nation's military, reports The Times. Prince Charles's mentor and uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, served as Britain's Chief of Defense in the 1960s, and was reported in 2019 as “a homosexual with a perversion for young boys.” King Charles III joined Pope Leo XIV for worship King Charles III made other news headlines last week, when he participated in a public worship service with the Roman Catholic Pope Leo XIV.   This was the first time a reigning British monarch joined the Pope for such events since the Reformation. King Charles and his wife, Camilla, sat on golden thrones under Michelangelo's "Last Judgment" fresco in the Sistine Chapel for the ecumenical service.  Joel 3 reminds us of God's judgement.   “Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow — for their wickedness is great.” Putin celebrates successful test of missile Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrated a successful test for the Burevestnik missile over the weekend, reports CBS News. Putin announced that the armament was ready for deployment, after it completed a 10,000-mile flight. Plus, according to the Russian military, the missile “successfully performed all designated vertical and horizontal maneuvers, demonstrating its strong ability to evade anti-missile and air defense systems.” Hurricane Melissa: Biggest one to hit Caribbean Category 5 Hurricane Melissa is barreling down on Jamaica. It's the strongest hurricane to hit the Caribbean nation in recorded history.  America's most lethal aircraft carrier off Venezuelan coast Meanwhile, the U.S. Military is sending its most lethal aircraft carrier from European waters into the Caribbean for the ongoing drug war, now heating up somewhere off the shores of Venezuela, reports TheHill.com. The main target for the flurry of activity appears to be Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, whom the Trump administration has called an “illegitimate leader.” Appearing on CBS's Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was asked about possible land strikes in Venezuela. BRENNAN: “Are land strikes planned?” GRAHAM: “Yeah, I think that's a real possibility. I think President Trump's made a decision that [Venezuelan President Nicolás] Maduro, the leader of Venezuela, is an indicted drug trafficker, that it's time for him to go. Venezuela and Colombia have been safe havens for ‘narco terrorists' for too long.” Oil likely will cost less in 2026 America's oil wells are pumping it out.   Chevron CEO Mike Wirth told Fox Business host Maria Bartiroma, that gas prices in 2026 may very well be lower than they were this year. BARTIROMA: “Can you give us a sense of what you would expect for 2026?” WIRTH: “Yeah, I think we see supply growing, particularly from the OPEC-supplying countries, and demand growing steadily. But as this supply comes back, it's weighing on commodity markets. So, we're prepared for prices in ‘26 to be lower than they were in ‘25.” Christian pastors arrested for child p*rn And finally, assorted national news stories report that Christian pastors and leaders have been recently arrested for possession of extreme evil forms of pornography involving children.   Singer and worship leader Jon Paul Sheptock, of First Montgomery Baptist Church, is under arrest, reports the Baptist Press.  The Idaho Statesman reports that the senior pastor at Sovereign Grace Fellowship in Nampa, Idaho was arrested for handling images of a “horrific” nature. Another Baptist youth pastor from Greenville, South Carolina was just sentenced to twenty years for a similar offense. A pastor of the House of Prayer Christian Church in Georgia has been indicted by a federal court for similar offenses. And another former youth pastor at the Southcoast church in Goleta, California has been arrested on related charges. Jeremiah speaks of religious scandals in the churches. The prophet wrote, “My heart within me is broken because of the prophets. . . For the land is full of adulterers; For because of a curse the land mourns. The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up. Their course of life is evil, and their might is not right. “For both prophet and priest are profane; Yes, in My house I have found their wickedness,” says the Lord. I will bring disaster on them, the year of their punishment.” (Jeremiah 23:9-12) Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, October 28th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

This week the American contemporary mixed-media artist Anna Carll who began her painting career with very colorful figurative work, which slowly evolved into non-representational abstract work that's based on the concept of urban expansion and erosion. Anna was born in Charleston, WV in 1960. Her mother Maggie Schettler, a career nurse and teacher, and father James Carll, who worked in the auto industry, divorced when Anna was just 12 years of age. She is the youngest of six children.  Anna reflects on a troubled childhood and how she became a truant, eventually dropping out of high school and becoming a juvenile delinquent. She describes herself as a having been a sickly child who suffered from dyslexia while becoming introspective and private.  At the age of 17, she ran away from home. When she returned home six months later to her mother she went back to school and achieved her General Equivalency Diploma (GED) at 18. It was then she decided to focus on a vocation in graphic art and design by attending the Sarasota County Vocational Technical Center for 12 months. This was followed by six months at the Venice Sun Newspaper where Anna realized she still needed further training so she attended the University of Florida, graduating with a BA in Art & Graphic Design in 1984. Her career began as an illustrator and graphic artist and for 16 years she worked in Atlanta. Anna subsequently spent 12 years honing her craft as an painter in the North Georgia Mountains under the shadow of the Appalachian Mountains in the Blue Ridge area. From 1992-4 she studied with the artist Ouida Canaday before leaving her career as a graphic artist to become a full-time fine artist in 1999. Anna's first gallery representation came in 1997 with Bender Fine Art Gallery in Atlanta and she is now represented by a number of galleries in the US. Anna's work is collected by a diverse group of both private individuals and corporations in the US, South America, Europe and Asia. Anna now lives in Chattanooga, TN with her cat Sadie Mei. Anna's links:https://www.annacarll.com/https://www.instagram.com/annacarllart Anna's favorite female artists in visual arts:Current artists: Marjorie Thompson, Galen Chaney, Karen Stamper, Lynn Alker, Nicola Bennett, Cat Tesla, Bethany Kohrt, Helen Ward, Julia Bland, Jackie Mulder, Jackie Leishman, Rebecca Crowell, Patricia Kelly, Jill Stoll, Nina TichavaLate artists: Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Nevelson Eva Hesse, Ruth Asawa, Georgia O'Kieffe, Frida Kahlo Host: Chris StaffordProduced by Hollowell StudiosFollow @theaartpodcast on InstagramAART on Facebook Email: hollowellstudios@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wisp--4769409/support.

Ready to order coffee without pointing, find the station without panic, and ask for help without freezing? We sat down with language coach David Durham to build a traveler's toolkit of Spanish you'll actually use in real life—from warm greetings to confident check requests, from essential directions to emergency phrases that keep you safe.We start with the why: Spanish connects you across Mexico, Central and South America, Spain, and large parts of the United States. David explains the smartest starting point for most listeners—Latin American Spanish—then unpacks the charming differences you'll hear in Spain, like gracias vs grathias, so you understand what's going on without getting lost in rules. You'll learn how gender shapes adjectives and articles, when to use tú vs usted, and how a single switch from yo quiero to quisiera transforms an order into a kind request that earns better service and more smiles.From there, we move fast through practical scripts. Introduce yourself with me llamo, keep conversations smooth with lo siento and no entiendo, and navigate confidently with ¿Dónde está…? for the station, market, bank, pharmacy, airport, and, yes, the all-important baño. We cover everyday ordering—un café con leche, agua con gas, helado, pan—plus numbers and time so you can read prices, bargain fairly, and show up on time. Safety gets space too: ayuda and llame a la policía give you clear words when you need them most. Along the way, David shares cultural tips that turn phrases into bridges, reminding us that respect and a simple por favor go a long way.If you want to go deeper, David's World to the Wise platform offers video-based French and Spanish courses and curated cultural tours. Come learn the Spanish that opens doors, wins goodwill, and makes travel feel less like guessing and more like belonging. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves to roam, and leave a review telling us the first phrase you'll try on your next trip.Thanks for your ongoing support!http://paypal.me/TheROAMiesAlexa and RoryThe ROAMiesPlease subscribe, rate and share our podcast!

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers President Trump's trade breakthroughs in Asia, new peace nominations, Argentina's election victory, France's jewel heist, Gaza's fragile ceasefire, and the rising threat of war in Venezuela.   Trump Secures Major Deals in Asia: The President finalized key agreements with China to curb fentanyl exports, purchase American soybeans, and delay rare earth export controls. The two leaders also agreed on a new ownership plan for TikTok. Trump is meeting regional leaders this week as part of a broader push to reassert U.S. influence in Southeast Asia.   Thailand and Cambodia Sign Peace Accords: After months of diplomacy, Trump brokered a deal between the two nations that ends their border tensions. Both leaders have nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The White House also announced new tariff cuts on trade with Malaysia and Thailand.   Argentina Turns Right: President Javier Milei's sweeping election victory delivered a major win for Trump's foreign policy and a defeat for socialism in South America. The result validates Trump's $40 billion aid gamble and boosts U.S. influence in the region.   French Crown Jewels Stolen by Migrants: Two suspects from Paris's migrant suburbs were arrested for the $100 million Louvre jewel heist. The theft has reignited France's immigration debate, with populists calling for deportations and leftists insisting on “inclusive empathy.” Bryan says, “It's not just jewels they stole — it's France's history.”   Gaza Ceasefire Under Strain: Hamas continues to withhold bodies of murdered hostages as Trump warns of consequences within 48 hours. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed Western and Arab intelligence stopped a planned massacre of rival Palestinian clans.   U.S. Warships Mass Near Venezuela: The USS Gravely and the Gerald Ford Strike Group have entered the Caribbean alongside elite Marine and Army units. Analysts believe Trump may soon order strikes against Venezuela's narco regime or its foreign backers from Russia, Iran, and China.   Looking Ahead: Bryan previews stories on China's economic collapse, U.S. military advances in drone warfare, and a $130 million private donation funding American troops during the shutdown.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump China trade deal fentanyl soybeans, Thailand Cambodia peace accord Nobel nomination, Javier Milei Argentina election victory, Louvre jewel heist migrant suspects, Gaza ceasefire Hamas hostages, Venezuela warships USS Gravely Gerald Ford, Trump Venezuela strikes Russia Iran China, U.S. Southeast Asia trade influence

The Pentagon announced Friday that the military is sending an aircraft carrier to South America. It's the latest in the escalating show of force against Venezuela, including strikes on ten boats that the Trump administration says were involved in drug smuggling, which killed 43 people. We talk about the legality of the actions and what the administration hopes to achieve. Then, we turn to the mighty California condor. Once nearly extinct — with only 23 birds remaining in 1982 — the largest bird in North America is making a remarkable comeback. Biologists have recently tracked 30 condors soaring over Alameda and Contra Costa counties, areas where they haven't been seen in a century. We'll explore what's driving their return and the threats they still face in the wild. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This not only secured Milei another term of president, it vastly strengthened his party's grip over the nation politically. Milei's political position became seriously endangered recently when left-wing political forces began placing substantial bets against the Argentinian peso, threatening to dump the nation's economy, and threatening Milei's narrative of economic prosperity for Argentina. Trump responded by making a huge $40 billion investment to strengthen the Argentinian peso against attack—and now that Milei has resoundingly won re-election, that investment is earning the United States a HUGE financial return, as well. Strategically, this also secures for the US a robust ally in South America for a generation to come, and positions the US to once again enforce an invigorated Monroe doctrine in the Western Hemisphere.Join me LIVE at 11:15 AM ET as I break it all down!I also invite each of YOU to join me in our desperate but worthy mission to save our great nation. The easiest way to do that?

The Collapse of the Humanitarian Deal and Barnard's Abandonment Eric J. Dolan Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World Charles Barnard offered the British castaways a humanitarian deal: he would transport them to South America in exchange for salvage rights to the Isabella wreck. Although the British learned the War of 1812 had commenced, they accepted the terms. However, one of the British captains, Brooks, secured a rescue mission from Buenos Aires commanded by Lieutenant William Peter Danda aboard the HMS Nancy. Danda was driven by the prospect of personal financial gain offered by the prize system and disregarded the Americans' humanitarian assistance to British citizens. Danda seized the Nanina as a prize of war, imprisoned most of the American crew, and deliberately marooned Barnard and a hunting party who were ashore gathering food for the castaways.

The Trump administration wins a major legal battle as a federal appeals court clears the way for National Guard troops to deploy to Portland to protect immigration operations. President Trump and the Australian Prime Minister sign a new framework deal to boost rare earth mineral production and reduce China's control over the global supply chain. The Trump administration carries out another strike on a suspected drug-smuggling vessel from South America, as former DHS Secretary Chad Wolf defends the aggressive new strategy and dismisses talk of regime change in Venezuela. Former Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre promotes her new book Independent, explaining why she's leaving the Democratic Party while still defending President Biden in eyebrow-raising fashion. Riverbend Ranch: Visit https://riverbendranch.com/ | Use promo code MEGYN for $20 off your first order. Geviti: Go to https://gogeviti.com/megynand get 20% off with code MEGYN.
