A new podcast episode, Trump has decided a deal on Greenland is acceptable, Britain gives island to Mauritius at the cost of 30 billion... to Britain, The Beckhams hate each other and Dark Predictions is ridiculous. plus MAYA Returns!support the channel buymeacoffee.com/whatkast
Is Donald Trump's retreat from tariffs and military threats over Greenland - a NATO reset or a tactical pause? Syria edges toward reunification but at a major cost to the Kurds – and IS group fighters escape. Plus how a farm girl's plea from rural China went hog-wild online.
P.M. Edition for Jan. 21. President Trump dials down the rhetoric with Europe, calling off threatened tariffs on several European nations after saying he wouldn't use force to take Greenland. We hear from WSJ national security reporter Robbie Gramer about how European leaders are responding. Plus, U.S. stocks jump in response to Trump's de-escalation. And, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in the case of Fed governor Lisa Cook. The Journal's chief economics correspondent Nick Timiraos says the court seemed skeptical of the Trump administration's attempt to fire her and discusses what that means for the central bank's independence.

In this Wednesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan explains the fast-moving crisis over Greenland, why European military moves triggered President Trump's tariff threats, and how the fallout is already hitting markets and mortgage rates. He then turns to two strategically vital islands, Greenland and Diego Garcia, outlining why U.S. control of both matters for missile defense, China containment, and future war planning. Bryan argues Britain's deal to hand Diego Garcia to Mauritius is dangerously naive and urges Washington to act before Beijing exploits the opening. Back in the Americas, U.S. forces seize a seventh ghost-fleet oil tanker tied to Iran, Russia, and China, while Mexico quietly extradites 37 cartel leaders, handing U.S. intelligence a major win that could reshape cartel operations this year. Domestically, Bryan covers escalating clashes between Democrats and ICE in Minnesota, the DOJ investigation into state leaders after activists stormed a Christian church, and growing evidence of coordinated efforts to shield criminal illegal aliens from deportation. He closes with economic good news from Davos, where global bankers praise the strength of the U.S. economy under President Trump, and warns listeners to prepare for a severe winter storm sweeping from Texas to the Carolinas.

Episode 5080: Live From Davos; President Trump U Turns On Chagos Islands
California State Senator Scott Wiener, the frontrunner for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat, insisted on the Haaretz Podcast that his change of heart regarding whether Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute a genocide did not represent a political flip-flop. In early January, Wiener faced an angry audience at a candidate’s forum, in which he debated his two rivals in the California Democratic primary to replace retiring Representative Pelosi. In a lightning round question, Wiener was asked to answer “yes” or “no” to the question of whether Israel was "committing genocide in Gaza." His rivals answered “yes” while Wiener refused to respond, prompting boos and jeers. Shortly afterwards, he released a video in which he clarified that he did believe Israel’s actions in Gaza should be defined as genocide. On the podcast, Wiener said that in the past, “I've used very, very stark language that, frankly, has not been particularly different from genocide. I chose not to use the word genocide for a variety of reasons, because, it has been weaponized against Israel and against Jews over time.” Wiener also responded to the harsh backlash from the Jewish community following the release of the video. Wiener, the co-chair of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus, said he “respects and honors” why the Jewish community feels “hurt and betrayed” by his word choice. “I also believe that we have a responsibility to call this what I believe it is,” he said. He pointed to the Quinnipiac poll published in August in which half of Americans defined Israel’s actions as a genocide and noted that it will likely be officially declared as such by the International Court of Justice. “The institutional Jewish community in this country has not grappled with that reality.” Read more: Jewish California Congressional Hopeful Says Israel Committed Genocide in Gaza, After Earlier Refusal to Do So Half of Registered U.S. Voters Say Israel Committing Genocide in Gaza, Poll Finds California Governor Gavin Newsom Says Israel's War in Gaza Was Not Genocide, but 'Destruction Broke My Heart' Analysis | Is It Important to Call Israel's Carnage in Gaza 'Genocide'?

In this explosive episode of The Alan Sanders Show (Ep. 009), we expose how Minnesota Democratic leaders like Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey are accused of fueling violence and chaos amid escalating anti-ICE protests following fatal shootings involving federal agents, including the death of Renee Good and a recent wounding in north Minneapolis. Rhetoric demonizing ICE as "Gestapo" and calls to "get out" have sparked clashes, assaults on officers and national outrage, with Trump threatening the Insurrection Act. We also dive into the landmark SCOTUS arguments on transgender athletes in women's sports, where the conservative majority appears poised to uphold state bans in Idaho and West Virginia to protect fairness and safety for female competitors. Finally, two China-flagged supertankers make a dramatic U-turn from Venezuela oil pickups amid intensified U.S. sanctions and embargo pressures.

2025 war politisch, gesellschaftlich - und medial - ein Jahr im Ausnahmezustand. Paul spricht mit Micky Beisenherz über Jahresrückblicke, die Stimmung im Land und den Blick nach vorn.Es geht um Friedrich Merz als „Ankündigungsweltmeister“, schnelle U-Turns, sinkende Popularitätswerte - und die Frage, warum so viele Menschen trotzdem das Gefühl haben, „es geht nichts voran“. Micky erzählt, wie Politik im Ruhrgebiet wirklich verhandelt wird: weniger ideologisch, mehr alltagsnah - geprägt von Kaufkraftverlust, Stadtbild-Frust und dem Gefühl, dass vieles komplizierter ist als die einfachen Erklärungen.Außerdem: AfD-Zuwachs im Westen und der schwierige Ausblick auf 2026 mit Landtagswahlen, Brandmauerdebatten und widerspenstigen Landesverbänden. Und ein Blick auf Medien und Meinungsklima - inklusive der Frage, ob Podcasts inzwischen das niedrigschwelligste Forum für echte Meinungsvielfalt sind.Zum Schluss wird's persönlich: Traumschiff an Silvester, Familie, Heimat - und warum es gerade jetzt wichtig ist, die „wenigen Jahre“ mit den Eltern bewusst zu nutzen.Wenn euch der Podcast gefällt, dann lasst gerne Like & Abo da!

Do you ever feel like you become reactionary and out of control in an instant? In this episode, I explore the feeling of being reactive, particularly when it happens with the people you care about most. Reactivity can make you feel like you're no longer in control of your emotions, and the intensity of that reaction can feel overwhelming and insurmountable. Today, I'm introducing the concept of a mental and emotional U-turn, a tool that can help reduce reactivity and give you clarity about what's happening when you feel triggered. You'll learn how to recognize when you need to do a U-turn by paying attention to your emotions and physical sensations. I'll guide you through how to slow down in those heated moments and keep your focus inward rather than getting pulled back into the situation.

Brandon Laroque. Brandon, who owns The Goat Bar in Raleigh, NC, details his extensive career in the hospitality industry, starting from a country club to bartending at a renowned comedy club, which eventually led him to open six of his own bars, primarily using a "flipping" strategy. The core of the discussion revolves around the challenging decision to retire and close his successful, long-standing bar due to mounting stress from employee issues and the difficulty of verifying increasingly sophisticated fake IDs, which led to legal problems with alcohol law enforcement (ALE). However, his retirement was abruptly cut short when he was devastated by the theft of over $3 million in cryptocurrency from a cold wallet. This financial catastrophe forced Brandon and his wife to make the difficult choice to reopen The Goat Bar, facing new bureaucratic hurdles with the city to reinstate expired permits. The segment concludes with Will transitioning into the formal podcast interview, eager to share Brandon's compelling and dramatic story.10 Takeaways Longevity and Experience: Brandon and his wife have a combined 70 years of experience in the hospitality industry (30+ for him, 40 for her). The GOAT Bar's Success: The Goat Bar, a dive bar in Raleigh, has been a highly successful "cash cow" since opening in 2003, built on years of hard work, self-maintenance, and a strong local following. Entrepreneurial Spinoffs: Brandon's experience at Charlie Good Nights comedy club, where he was forced to be hands-on, spawned approximately 30 different bars opened by former employees, including six by Brandon himself. "Flipping" Bars: Brandon developed a strategy of opening, establishing, and then selling (flipping) bars, noting his favorite part of the business is the opening process. Growth Challenges: He learned the hard lesson that owning multiple bars brings "three times the headaches and one and a half times the money" compared to a single location. Impact of 2020: The COVID-19 shutdown (2020) and subsequent reopening severely impacted the business, leading to employee turnover and stress, contributing to the decision to retire. Sophisticated Fake IDs: A major stressor was the rise of highly realistic fake IDs, often from China, that are nearly impossible for bar staff to verify, even with ID scanners, leading to legal action from ALE agents. Control State Regulations: The bar operates in North Carolina, a control state, where the state controls liquor sales, which means the bar pays a high tax (approx. 75%) on liquor purchased from the county ABC. Retirement Derailment: The planned retirement, which included moving to Las Vegas, was unexpectedly ruined by the theft of over $3 million in cryptocurrency from a cold wallet. Forced Reopening: The financial loss forced Brandon and his wife to abandon retirement plans and reopen The Goat Bar, leading to new challenges with re-securing permits from the city.

It's safe to say 2025 has marked a dramatic change from the Biden-era bank regulatory agenda. The Trump-appointed regulators are talking about rethinking supervision, capital, and the Fed's entire approach to liquidity. What does this mean for banks and the system overall? Karen Shaw Petrou, managing director of Federal Financial Analytics, breaks it down.
For over two decades, the legacy media failed catastrophically in its responsibility to expose Jeffrey Epstein's criminal empire. Rather than investigate, they actively suppressed the story, ignored survivors, buried leads, and protected the powerful individuals within Epstein's orbit. Outlets like ABC, NBC, and The New York Times had ample evidence but chose access over accountability, prestige over principle. When whistleblowers and independent journalists tried to sound the alarm, they were smeared as conspiracy theorists. The media wasn't just absent—they were complicit, operating as PR agents for the very elites they were supposed to scrutinize. Even after Epstein's 2019 arrest, the media presented the scandal as if it were new, rewriting history to conceal their cowardice and protect their image.Now, years later, those same outlets have shamelessly returned to the story, parroting talking points and revelations that the so-called “conspiracy crowd” had documented long ago. They grandstand as if they were in the trenches, all while ignoring their own role in shielding the system that allowed Epstein to thrive. Their sudden concern is not about justice—it's about optics, narrative control, and political expediency. The Epstein scandal is not just about one man—it's about the elite networks that enabled him and the media institutions that kept those networks safe. Until the press admits its role in the cover-up and holds everyone accountable—not just those who are no longer useful—its credibility remains broken. They were never the watchdogs. They were the gatekeepers. And their gates are stained with blood.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Monday's selloff rattled the entire market—Bitcoin, equities, commodities, you name it. But beneath the volatility, something more structural may be happening. In this week's Bits + Bips, Austin Campbell, Ram Ahluwalia, Chris Perkins, and B+B OG previous host Alex Kruger break down one of the most confusing macro weeks of the year. They debate why high-beta assets snapped, whether a rotation into quality is underway, why institutions seem unfazed even as retail stays skittish, and share initial thoughts on Vanguard finally allowing clients to buy crypto. The crew also unpacks Strategy's chaotic comments about selling BTC, the Clarity Act's political hurdles, the CME outage that exposed systemic fragility, and the never-ending debate over Tether—profitability, reserves, and what institutions actually want from a stablecoin issuer.

Rather than investigate, they actively suppressed the story, ignored survivors, buried leads, and protected the powerful individuals within Epstein's orbit. Outlets like ABC, NBC, and The New York Times had ample evidence but chose access over accountability, prestige over principle. When whistleblowers and independent journalists tried to sound the alarm, they were smeared as conspiracy theorists. The media wasn't just absent—they were complicit, operating as PR agents for the very elites they were supposed to scrutinize. Even after Epstein's 2019 arrest, the media presented the scandal as if it were new, rewriting history to conceal their cowardice and protect their image.Now, years later, those same outlets have shamelessly returned to the story, parroting talking points and revelations that the so-called “conspiracy crowd” had documented long ago. They grandstand as if they were in the trenches, all while ignoring their own role in shielding the system that allowed Epstein to thrive. Their sudden concern is not about justice—it's about optics, narrative control, and political expediency. The Epstein scandal is not just about one man—it's about the elite networks that enabled him and the media institutions that kept those networks safe. Until the press admits its role in the cover-up and holds everyone accountable—not just those who are no longer useful—its credibility remains broken. They were never the watchdogs. They were the gatekeepers. And their gates are stained with blood.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Donald Trump gives a hero's welcome to Mohammed bin Salman — despite U.S. intelligence concluding the Saudi crown prince likely approved the murder of a U.S. journalist. • Trump doubles down: he publicly calls for the execution of Democrats who reminded military and intelligence personnel of their oath to refuse illegal orders. • The U.S. Coast Guard initially downgrades swastikas & nooses from “hate symbols” to “potentially divisive,” then reverses course after massive backlash. • A shaky jobs report and deep economic concerns fuel rising public discontent — while new polls show Democrats in a strong position heading into the 2026 midterms.

Global Commodities and UK Political Turmoil: Copper Prices Soar and Starmer's Tax U-Turn Guest: Simon Constable Simon Constable reports that copper prices are soaring to $5.18, up 20 percent, due to insufficient supply to meet demand from electric vehicles and artificial intelligence applications. In the United Kingdom, he notes Labour leader Keir Starmer reversed his tax pledge amidst poor productivity forecasts and failing reforms. Constable details the collapse of a high-profile China espionage case, possibly because UK espionage laws remain outdated from before World War I and China was not formally designated a hostile state at the time. He also highlights the troubling advice given by police to Israeli football fans to avoid attending a match due to safety concerns.
