Episode #492: Wong Chen, a Malaysian Member of Parliament active in international relations as Malaysia held the ASEAN chair, argues that the Myanmar crisis will not be resolved through moral appeals, symbolic diplomacy, or repeated Western advocacy alone. He maintains that the Myanmar military is far more resilient than many outsiders assume and largely unmoved by external condemnation. In his view, meaningful progress will come only when the junta faces real leverage generated by coordinated internal resistance, supported by pragmatic regional engagement. Without such pressure, he suggests, dialogue risks becoming performative and ultimately serving the military's interests. Wong Chen situates this argument in Malaysia's 2025 experience leading ASEAN, a consensus-based organization with a rotating annual chair. When Malaysia assumed the role, he initially felt optimistic, given Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's human rights reputation and ASEAN's existing Five-Point Consensus on Myanmar. That optimism faded as Malaysia adopted what Wong Chen describes as “pragmatic engagement” with both the junta and resistance groups. While he accepts that communication with all parties is unavoidable, he stresses its asymmetric effects because the junta is not a good-faith actor. For example, junta-controlled media reframes such meetings as “recognition,” even when this is far from the case. He also argues that ASEAN's institutional design undermines long-term crisis management. Unlike short, bilateral disputes ASEAN has mediated successfully, Myanmar requires sustained, multi-year engagement. Rotating chairs shift operational control to new national bureaucracies, reset personnel and priorities, and prevent the accumulation of institutional memory. The junta exploits these recurring reset points by re-litigating settled issues and using the sheer quantity of engagements to claim legitimacy. Wong Chen therefore calls for a permanent, well-resourced ASEAN mechanism dedicated to Myanmar, one that is not affected despite the changes inherent in the rotating chair. Beyond ASEAN, Wong Chen identifies China as the pivotal external actor, motivated less by ideology than by stability and trade. As long as Myanmar's opposition remains fragmented, Wong Chen points out that China will usually default to dealing with the junta. He criticizes the National Unity Government for strategic stagnation, internal rigidity, and overreliance on Western moral appeals, urging greater unity, clearer goals, and stronger use of diaspora resources. While cautiously optimistic that geopolitical shifts—potentially involving U.S.–China rivalry and even unconventional actors like Donald Trump—could create openings, Wong Chen ultimately places responsibility on Myanmar's resistance and opposition to unify around a shared vision and leadership in order to create the leverage needed to force a resolution. External actors can assist, he says, but “you have to do it yourself.”

As they discuss, they also share thoughts on reports posing the question of whether Penxi Jr.'s position secure, to which they agree the way Kevin Stefanski answered the question when asked about Penix Jr. being the starter allows for the speculations.

It's not easy to make a difference.

HEADLINE: Trump EPA Faces Uphill Battle to Reverse Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding GUEST NAME: Jonathan Adler SUMMARY: The Trump administration's EPA attempts to reverse the 2009 "endangerment finding" for greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. Recent Supreme Court rulings, including Loper Bright, ironically make reversal more difficult by eliminating Chevron deference. Courts will focus on statutory language and prior decisions, requiring the EPA to justify reversing decades of statements. 1955

Jenny Horne talks about two key A.I. names to watch on Tuesday's session. She first turns to Oracle (ORCL) and reports of the company's involvement in talks to acquire TikTok. If true, the social media giant will add to Oracle's already heavy plate of products. In China, Nvidia (NVDA) sees little demand for its new chip made specifically for the country. Jenny points to competition from Alibaba (BABA) and Huawei adding headwinds to its outlook.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Zohran Mamdani didn't just beat Andrew Cuomo — he buried him. In a race many expected to be tight or favor Cuomo through ranked-choice tallies, Mamdani delivered a knockout in the first round. The final numbers weren't close: Mamdani pulled in 545,000 votes to Cuomo's 428,000. That's a blowout. And it happened despite Cuomo once polling at an absurd 80%. This wasn't just a campaign upset — it was the end of Cuomo's delusion that he could waltz back into New York politics on name recognition alone.Mamdani's campaign was sharp and technically sound. He mastered ranked-choice mechanics — building coalitions, securing second-choice support, and locking in endorsements from the Working Families Party and key progressive organizers. But he didn't just activate the left. He reached across neighborhoods and demographics, putting in real ground work. His message wasn't just ideological; it was practical and local — housing, transit, jobs. The kind of politics that wins you quiet votes in places people don't usually canvass.Now, Mamdani becomes a national proxy whether he wants to or not. Republicans will make him the new face of the Democratic Party, using his self-identified socialism as a scarecrow in swing states. But that spotlight also comes with opportunity. He's proven he can organize, message, and win. If Mamdani survives the general — and with Eric Adams now backed into a defensive fight, that's looking more likely — he could emerge as a new progressive standard-bearer not just for New York, but for the left nationwide.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

This was their first real moment of unity since a brutal 2024 GOP primary season. On the surface, they were aligned — joking, praising one another, presenting a strong front on immigration.Behind the smiles, though, Florida politics remains deeply tribal. There's always more going on under the surface. This wasn't just a unity photo-op; it was a strategic pivot. With the media focused on deportation centers and immigration enforcement, Democrats' messaging about Medicaid cuts and policy substance is being drowned out. Whether this is 5D chess from Trump or just savvy instinct, the outcome is the same — the right is driving the conversation.And here's my hunch: DeSantis is bound for a Trump administration role. Maybe not immediately, but certainly toward the end of his term. I don't know the exact position, but his re-alignment with Trump suggests he's looking for a path forward that keeps him in the national conversation.Allred's Return and the Uphill Battle in TexasColin Allred is back, launching another Senate bid in Texas, likely against Ken Paxton. His opening ad leans heavily on anti-corruption themes, clearly aimed at Paxton's scandals and ethical baggage. It's a smart choice if Paxton is the nominee. Voters don't forget public messes involving mistresses, real estate ties, and abandoned staff.That said, I'm not sold on Allred. His ad doesn't connect — it's too heavy on biography and too light on vision. People watching already know who he is. They're asking what he's going to do differently this time. He had a respectable run against Ted Cruz, but he didn't break through. And in a state like Texas, breaking through isn't optional — it's the baseline requirement.Texas Democrats face a structural problem. The party's progressives dominate primaries but struggle to produce general election winners. Allred's strength as a former football player was undercut by the trans sports issue. He doesn't read as a football guy, and he doesn't read as the kind of candidate who can split the difference between national party expectations and Texas voter realities. I'll be watching this race, but my expectations are tempered.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:03 - Interview with Kirk Bado00:29:16 - Update00:29:53 - Final NYC Mayoral Primary Results00:33:57 - Trump and DeSantis Reunite00:37:29 - Colin Allred for Texas Senate00:45:05 - Interview with Kirk Bado (con't)01:07:04 - Steelers Talk01:19:13 - Bonus Politics Question01:19:52 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

It is an uphill battle for "Jane" to maintain her anonymity in the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial due to the extraordinary public interest and media scrutiny surrounding the case. The combination of Combs' celebrity status, the severity of the charges—racketeering, sex trafficking, and related offenses—and the cultural weight of the #MeToo movement has turned this trial into a national spectacle. Every courtroom development is being live-blogged, dissected on social media, and aggressively pursued by entertainment outlets, making it difficult for any witness to avoid public exposure. Additionally, "Jane" has provided some of the most graphic and emotionally charged testimony thus far, implicating Combs in deeply disturbing acts that drive the government's core narrative of coercion and abuse. Her role is so central that her testimony is likely to be the subject of intense post-trial analysis and media pursuit, increasing the risk of her identity leaking through unofficial channels even if the court maintains a protective order.Moreover, federal courtrooms, unlike many state courts, do not allow video recording or live broadcasting, which does offer some protection. However, this is counterbalanced by the aggressive reporting of major outlets and the presence of numerous journalists in the courtroom, all eager to unearth every detail about the key witnesses. The very nature of "Jane's" testimony—recounting intimate and traumatic experiences—has already made her a figure of intense curiosity. Compounding this, her prior relationship with Combs, her visibility in the New York nightlife scene, and mentions of specific events and dates in testimony create a breadcrumb trail that determined parties, whether members of the press or online sleuths, could follow to uncover her real identity. In such a high-profile case, history shows that anonymity is difficult to preserve once public and media obsession reaches a certain pitch.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Who is Jane?

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down deep divisions among Democrats over the spending bill, the Virginia GOP's steep challenges in this year's elections, and the House Democrats losing two members in just over a week.First, Republicans finally get a chance to watch Democrats openly feud over whether to pass a spending bill to prevent a partial government shutdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer now reluctantly supports the bill, sparking an intense backlash from progressives. Jim also explains how Democrats are struggling to accept their minority status in Congress.Next, they wince at the prospects for Virginia Republicans in this year's elections. They usually don't go well for the party that holds the White House. Virginia is also home to the second most federal employees in the nation, and the DOGE cuts are likely to be unpopular in the DC suburbs. Republicans do have an excellent candidate in Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears, but will the headwinds against her be too strong?Finally, they discuss the passing of Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, marking the second House Democrat to die in under two weeks. They note the oddity of Grijalva's X account continuing to post after his death and also examine how these vacancies will impact the House until special elections are held to fill those vacancies.Please visit our great sponsors:Oracle will cut your cloud bill in half—new US customers only, offer ends March 31st!

Life's struggles can feel relentless—debt, setbacks, and a sense of being stuck in survival mode. But what if we saw these challenges weren't just obstacles, but invitations to transformation? In this Q&A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha share Bhakti wisdom on navigating life's hardships with spiritual insight and resilience. Key Questions Answered in This Episode:

Donald Trump's first week in office has been nothing short of exhausting. In just five days, he has signed dozens of executive orders, including pardons for over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6th attack on the Capitol and commutations for Proud Boys and Oath Keepers convicted of seditious conspiracy. He has declared a national emergency at the southern border and taken aim at the constitutional right granting automatic citizenship to anyone born in the United States, a move already facing court challenges. Trump is also threatening federal workers with punishment for engaging in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Critics argue that the chaos, cruelty, and relentless pace are deliberate, exemplified by his controversial nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and Army National Guard veteran, to lead the Department of Defense. Hegseth faces a Senate confirmation vote tonight amid revelations that he made a $50,000 payment to a woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017, disclosed during questioning by Senator Elizabeth Warren. Warren has also raised serious concerns about Hegseth's judgment, citing troubling incidents involving alcohol, including strip club visits and episodes of severe intoxication. She contends that his behavior renders him unfit to oversee the nation's security.
