Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado told an audience in Washington that she's confident democracy will return to her nation. But almost two weeks after the seizure of former President Maduro, Machado revealed little of her own plans. As Nick Schifrin reports, that hasn't stopped the Trump White House from engaging with the rest of the Maduro regime they left in place.

China's "Hollow Power" in Iran and Venezuela. Guests: GORDON CHANG and CHARLES BURTON. China's influence appears limited as it fails to substantively support struggling allies like Venezuela's Maduro or the Iranian regime. While China remains a major purchaser of discounted Iranian oil, it has proven unable to dictate events against US pressure. Experts describe China as a "hollow power." Trump's Iran Tariff Threat and China Trade Rift. Guest: ALAN TONELSON. President Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on any country trading with Iran significantly impacts China, which values this trade for political and symbolic reasons. China has already failed to meet its previous trade obligations, including soybean purchases and rare earth export licenses. Europe remains economically vulnerable. Electricity Costs, AI Demand, and Venezuela's Oil Reality. Guest: BUD WEINSTEIN. Rising US electricity prices, up 30-35% over five years, are driven by data center and AI growth alongside infrastructure underinvestment. Meanwhile, Venezuelan oil is deemed impractical for US demand due to high extraction costs and political instability. Rebuilding these fields would require massive, high-risk investments. Chinese Sinister Intentions in Cuba and Nicaragua. Guest: STEVE YATES. China maintains a significant presence in Cuba, utilizing the island for intelligence gathering and signals facilities targeted at the United States. As Venezuela's oil subsidies to Cuba potentially end, the island faces economic collapse. The US may utilize travel restrictions and economic pressure as leverage. The Risks of Venezuelan Oil and Soaring Copper Prices. Guest: SIMON CONSTABLE. American oil companies remain reluctant to invest in Venezuela due to the historical risk of nationalization and decayed infrastructure. In commodity markets, copper has reached an "astronomical" price of over $6 per pound, leading to a surge in theft from electronics and bridges globally. Artemis 2 Safety Concerns and SpaceX Dominance. Guest: BOB ZIMMERMAN. The Artemis 2 manned mission faces controversy over unresolved Orion heat shield damage observed during previous tests. Meanwhile, SpaceX has secured a monopoly on recent Space Force contracts, signaling a shift toward prioritizing reliability and cost over redundancy. China has filed for 200,000 new satellites. Scouting Mars for Helicopters and the Search for Alien Life. Guest: BOB ZIMMERMAN. Scientists are scouting landing sites for future Mars helicopters in areas containing near-surface ice, potentially for future Starship missions. Research suggests liquid water may have existed on Mars three billion years ago under protective ice sheets. Recent SETI results analyzed billions of data points without finding definitive alien signals. Venezuela's Power Vacuum and the Path Forward. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. Mary Kissel discusses the "unfinished" state of Venezuela following the removal of Maduro, characterizing the remaining leadership as "thugs" and "gangs" focused on drug money. She explores the roles of Cuba, regional neighbors like Colombia and Brazil, and the Vatican's new moral leadership in the region. Iran in Transition: Assessing a Regime on the Brink. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. John Batchelor and Mary Kissel analyze reports of Iran's potential collapse, citing internet blackouts and regime brutality. They discuss potential U.S. interventions, such as kinetic strikes or Starlinkaccess, and evaluate whether Reza Pahlavi is a credible transitional leader amidst concerns of the country breaking into ethnic factions. The Intellectual Factions of the "New Right". Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Peter Berkowitz outlines the fracturing of the "New Right" into factions like national conservatives and post-liberals. Referencing Laura K. Field's book, Furious Minds, he notes these groups often reject Lockeanprinciples in the Declaration of Independence. However, he distinguishes these intellectuals from typical, non-ideological Trump voters. The New Right's Radical Rejection of Traditional Republicanism. Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Berkowitz contrasts the New Right's desire for state-led social reform with the Republican Party's traditional focus on liberty and limited government. He discusses Michael Anton's views on the "right of revolution" and warns that attacking classical liberalism risks eroding essential protections against bigotry and persecution in America. Plunging Russian Oil Prices and the Impact of Global Sanctions. Guest: MICHAEL BERNSTAM. Russian oil prices are dropping significantly, with some major brands selling between $34 and $35 per barrel. Westernsanctions and global supply gluts allow buyers like China and India to extract massive discounts. Future stability in Iran could further increase competition, driving Russian revenues and taxes even lower. Pakistan's $1.5 Billion Arms Deal with Sudan and China's Strategic Influence. Guests: RICK FISHER and GORDON CHANG. Pakistan is nearing a deal to supply jets and drones to Sudan, likely funded by Saudi Arabia. China uses these transactions to establish alternative security structures in the Middle East. Experts suggest China prefers ongoing conflict over peace to maximize profits and regional influence. The Collapse of the Chinese Real Estate Market and Economic Stagnation. Guests: ANNE STEVENSON-YANG and GORDON CHANG. China's property sector faces a permanent downturn, with prices dropping 30–60% and enough vacant apartments to house billions. The government lacks the funds for a rescue. Xi Jinping'sfocus on high-tech is insufficient to replace real estate, which previously accounted for 25% of GDP. The China-Iran Partnership: Oil, Surveillance, and Regional Stability. Guest: JACK BURNHAM. Chinamaintains a pragmatic "partnership" with Iran, focused on extracting discounted oil. Beijing provides surveillance technology to help the Iranian regime suppress internal protests while officially calling for stability.

The Food and Drug Administration should “immediately” restore in-person dispensing requirements for the abortion pill, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., told The Daily Signal. The senator cited safety concerns in pressing the administration to act. “You don't have to have a review to know that if a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, she's gonna have a problem,” Cassidy said. “You don't have to have a review to know that there's documented cases of people coerced into taking this.” Under President Joe Biden in April 2021, the administration stopped requiring that abortion drugs be dispensed to women in person. The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, of which Cassidy is the chair, is holding a hearing Wednesday on protecting women from abortion drugs. Cassidy hopes the hearing will “rehumanize” the issue by demonstrating how the pill harms both women and unborn children. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that China is aiming to capitalize on a visit by Canada's Prime Minister.

The U.S. Embassy in Iran is urging Americans to leave the country immediately if it's safe to do so. It says U.S. citizens should expect continued internet outages and consider leaving by land through neighboring countries. President Trump is also vowing that any country doing business with Iran will face a 25% U.S. tariff. This follows earlier warnings that the U.S. may carry out strikes over Iran's repression of protests in the country. Rights groups say nearly 600 people have died since the protests began.The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Tuesday on whether male athletes can compete in female sports, while claiming to be transgender. Federal judges in West Virginia and Idaho have ruled that banning boys from girls' sports is a civil rights violation that discriminates based on sex. The Republican Attorneys General Association is urging the high court to uphold state bans, calling it a matter of fairness. Currently, 29 states, the NCAA, and the U.S. Olympic Committee all have bans on transgender athletes competing.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says alleged fraud schemes in Minnesota are far larger than expected, with taxpayer funds illegally sent overseas. In an exclusive interview, Bessent called Minnesota a blueprint for uncovering nationwide fraud, vowing to prosecute offenders, and recover stolen funds.

JOIN "THE REBUILT MAN" ON SKOOL - ▶️ www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   In this powerful episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich dismantles the traditional recovery model and exposes a truth most men have never been told:   If quitting porn feels hard, you're not pursuing freedom, you're pursuing sobriety.   Frank explains why most recovery systems keep men trapped in cycles of willpower, fear, shame, and relapse by focusing on behavior management instead of identity transformation. He draws a clear line between white-knuckled sobriety and true freedom, the kind that comes from becoming a man who no longer wants, needs, or desires porn.   This episode breaks down 12 core reasons why freedom always beats sobriety, and why real change only happens when a man stops trying to "manage addiction" and starts rebuilding who he is at his core.   If you're tired of counting days, fighting urges, and living in fear of relapse, this episode will reframe everything you think you know about recovery.     What You'll Learn in This Episode Why sobriety keeps porn at the center of your life and freedom removes it entirely   How identity always outperforms willpower and behavior management   The hidden reason avoiding temptation actually makes men weaker   Why urges aren't enemies, but signals pointing to deeper issues   How labels like "addict" shape your future and how to reclaim your identity   The difference between surviving addiction and stepping into purpose   Why freedom isn't something you do, it's who you become Key Takeaways If quitting porn feels hard, you're aiming for sobriety, not freedom   Sobriety manages behavior; freedom transforms identity   Willpower creates fragile men, alignment creates strong ones   Sobriety lives in fear of relapse; freedom lives in certainty   Avoidance is not strength, self-leadership is   Recovery keeps you inward-focused; freedom gives you a mission   Urges are signals, not commands   The name you accept determines the life you live Freedom is not abstinence, it's transformation   About the Reboot Your Life Philosophy   Frank also breaks down the philosophy behind Reboot Your Life, the identity-based system inside The Rebuilt Man. Instead of teaching men how to resist porn, the program helps men rebuild: Identity Discipline Brotherhood Purpose Self-leadership   The result isn't sobriety, it's freedom.

Want help uncovering the real reasons behind your urges and building a plan to overcome your pornography use? Click here to book a free call with Sam to get help to overcome pornography – https://stopporn.info/    Have questions you want me to address on future podcast episodes? Email me here:  sam@healingcouples.org   Episode Show Notes: Most men trying to quit porn are taught to fight lust, distract themselves, suppress urges, or “channel sexual energy” somewhere else. And for a while, those strategies might seem to work — until they don't. In this episode, I break down why many traditional approaches to porn addiction recovery actually keep men stuck, and what it really takes to develop mastery over lust without repression, panic, or constant willpower. You'll hear me unpack the three categories of urges — coping urges, habit-based urges, and biological urges — and why confusing them leads to relapse, frustration, and exhaustion in porn recovery. I also explain the critical difference between sexual arousal and lust, and why treating normal arousal like a moral failure fuels compulsive pornography use. From there, I introduce a practical, repeatable framework for handling biological porn urges in real time — without distraction, suppression, or fantasy. This approach helps men stay present in their bodies, interrupt escalation, and experience sexual desire without turning to pornography. In this episode, you'll learn: Why fighting lust often makes porn addiction worse The difference between sexual arousal and lust (and why it matters for quitting porn) How to identify whether an urge is emotional, habitual, or biological Why distraction and suppression fail in porn addiction recovery A step-by-step method for staying grounded when porn urges hit How to build long-term freedom from pornography without white-knuckling This episode is for men who want more than short-term control — men who want to overcome porn addiction, stop cycling through urges and relapse, and build a calm, integrated relationship with their sexuality. If you're searching for real help with: porn addiction recovery, how to quit porn, pornography addiction healing, how to stop porn urges, mastery over lust, freedom from pornography, this episode will give you clarity, language, and a framework you can actually use.

In this heartfelt episode of The Radio Medium Laura Lee Show, Laura Lee connects with Francis from Texas for a profound spirit reading focused on family unity, divine confirmation, and the blessing of new life. Loved ones from the spirit world step forward immediately — including Francis's mother and aunt, both sharing the same name — to remind her that she is never alone and always supported from the other side. Spirit delivers striking validation through the presence of St. Francis, confirmed by a recently gifted pendant and family prayer traditions. The message then turns to an upcoming birth within the family, revealing unseen struggles and emphasizing the importance of compassion, support, and unity rather than division. With powerful confirmation through a child named after a loved one in spirit, this episode highlights how spirit guides families toward healing, understanding, and love during moments of transition. This reading is a reminder that children are blessings, family is sacred, and loved ones in spirit see the bigger picture — even when we cannot.

It's Tuesday, December 2nd, 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 Trump urges Venezuelan president to leave country U.S. sabers are rattling off the coast of Venezuela.   The Miami Herald reported that President Donald Trump offered Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro an ultimatum over the weekend: He said, “You can save yourself and those closest to you, but you must leave the country now.”   For any assistance in leading to Maduro's arrest, the U.S. government has placed a bounty of $50 million on the Venezuelan President.   Also, President Trump issued a warning on Saturday via Truth Social. He wrote, “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.” Trump designates Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group The President also designated certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood organization as a terrorist group, as of Sunday.  CounterExtremism.com has counted 48 extremist individuals and groups tied to the Brotherhood. As a Muslim Brotherhood host, the nation of Qatar has transferred $1.8 billion to Gaza since 2012, some of which reportedly has gone to Hamas. That information was revealed through recent audits. 65 people died from Ebola in Congo, Africa The Democratic Republic of the Congo is dealing with another Ebola outbreak — 65 cases confirmed and 45 deaths, reports U.S. News & World Report. The last major Congolese outbreak occurred in 2018. The virus is as dangerous as rabies, the Marburg virus, and the Avian flu. Exodus 4:11 reminds us that God is in control of all health issues: “So the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?” Russian-Ukrainian negotiations at stalemate In other world news, the Russo-Ukrainian conflict negotiations are approaching another stalemate. Ukraine announced they will not accept territorial concessions. And French President Emmanuel Macron announced an endorsement of using frozen Russian assets to help fund Ukraine's defense. Japanese court upholds ban on homosexual marriage Japan's Tokyo court upheld the homosexual marriage ban as constitutional, reports the BBC. Of Asian states, only Thailand, Nepal, and Taiwan have legalized the practice thus far. Christian ministries ranked most and least transparent Ministry Watch has released its 2025 ratings of American ministries for financial efficiency, transparency, and donor confidence. Of the largest ministries in the United States, Medicine For All People International, Grand Canyon University, World Relief, Christian Aid Ministries, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Christian Broadcasting Network rate the highest. Lowest ratings go to Samaritan's Purse, Convoy of Hope, Baylor University, Pepperdine University, and Hillsdale College. Some controversy has been brewing recently over the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability and the Billy Graham Evangelical Association's withdrawal from the organization.  Top 3 ministries serving the persecuted Of the six ministries serving the persecuted saints, Ministry Watch rates International Christian Concern, Equipping the Persecuted, and Persecution Project highest for financial efficiency, transparency, and donor confidence. Voice of the Martyrs is rated lowest.   Equipping the Persecuted focuses on Nigeria, and Persecution Project has been actively serving the persecuted saints in Sudan, Africa. Folks, think about giving to the poor and the suffering this Christmas season. Proverbs 28:27 says, “He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.” U.S. government ran a $1.8 trillion deficit The financial numbers are in for the U.S. government's fiscal year 2025, ending in October. The government ran a deficit of $1.8 trillion for the year. That's down $41 billion or 2% compared to the previous year.  However, revenues increased by $317 billion due to higher tariffs on imported goods.
