Responding to some of the biggest news stories that happened in 2025, including the inauguration of Donald Trump, the end of USAID, conflicts around the world, different scandals that have happened in various churches, the Michael Tait scandal, the rise of Wesley Huff, the fall of Chip and Joanna Gaines, and much more. Visit wwutt.com for all our videos!    Here is the article Pastor Gabe mentioned writing on the Ordo Amoris: https://themajestysmen.com/pastorgabe/ordered-loves-when-jd-vance-brought-up-the-ordo-amoris/   Here's is our review of the movie "David" that came out in 2025: https://youtu.be/dd0YFzRB09g  

This past weekend America learned that Somalis who have politically conquered the state of Minnesota have effectively pirated, looted, and pillaged billions of dollars of welfare resources from state coffers—and evidence further developed that these activities were limited to neither Somalis or Minneapolis, but were being carried out by third-worlders across the nation, wherever they have sufficient political power.Of course, third-world primitives with IQs in the 60s or 70s did not so quickly devise these schemes to steal billions of dollars from US taxpayers—theyr were guided in these efforts by America's own Democrat party, which in turn received campaign contributions laundered to them from the stolen billions.  This is much akin to how the money laundering of USAID and other NGOs financed Democrat campaigns, as well as how Planned Parenthood was traditionally not a healthcare or even abortion provider but a money laundering arm of Democrat campaign financing.The simple truth is that once America accepts within its borders low-IQ, low-trust, high-fraud third-worlders, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY THIS STORY CAN PLAY OUT. These third-worlders don't even have the concept of fraud—they see the generosity and vulnerability of America's generosity as an opportunity to enrich themselves that they would be fools to not exploit.

Konflikt återvänder till reportage från året om personer och platser som på olika sätt påverkats av Donald Trumps politik. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Det har varit ett turbulent första år i Vita huset underTrumps andra mandatperiod. USA-korrespondent Ginna Lindberg rapporterade i mars om nedstängningen av biståndsmyndigheten USAID. Konflikts Ulrika Bergqvist besökte Grönland som Trump säger sig göra anspråk på, Kajsa Boglind besökte Washington när landets militär firade 250 årsjubileum med en militärparad som sammanföll med Trumps födelsedag och så hörde vi ukraina-amerikaner om presidentens hantering av Ukrinakriget.Ginna Lindberg analyserar vad som hänt sen reportagen sändes för första gången.Programledare och producent: Kajsa Boglindkajsa.boglind@sr.seTekniker: Rasmus Håkans

It's one of the greatest preventable mass deaths in modern history: around two people every minute of every day, day and night, week after week, soon to be year after year. Elon Musk has called USAID — the agency administering programs like George W. Bush's PEPFAR which have saved tens of millions of lives, most in Africa — “a criminal organization,” adding that it was, “Time for it to die.” Why is the world's richest man killing the world's poorest people?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In episode #1126 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards returns after a brief holiday break, sharing his reluctance to dwell on the Minnesota Somali daycare fraud story and instead diving into local FAFO (f*** around and find out) tales from Central Mississippi, including a man who shot at a Scott County deputy after calling them himself and another who bit an officer during an arrest at a Tupelo Texas Roadhouse. Clay recounts running into Mississippi State baseball legend Tracy Echols and poses a question of the day about why people have stopped posting personal content on social media. He shares weird news about U.S. Customs seizing primate meat at Chicago's O'Hare Airport from travelers from The Congo. In the second hour with guest Andrew Gasser, they discuss repealing the 19th Amendment due to women's emotional voting patterns, the need for social media detoxes to combat endless scrolling addiction, and appreciating Trump's first-year accomplishments like dismantling USAID despite imperfections.

As 2025 comes to an end the guys look back on what has been and what 2026 could be. A great deal happened. AI came grew an incredible amount while socially we all took a big step backwards. Battle lines were drawn as socialism took over the left clearly making a stand in what would be a very turbulent landscape. Independant journalists turned into influencers and mainstream media continued to lie. ICE raids were plentiful while USAID was shut down. The censorship industrial complex went full on in the EU while the seditious six created havoc for our service men. It was a wild year.

Send us a text2025 was the year the comfortable illusions of global health shattered. The U.S. withdrawal from WHO, the dismantling of USAID, and controversial bilateral agreements exposed uncomfortable truths about power, dependency, and who really benefits from "global health partnerships."In this special year-end episode, we hear from global health leaders across the world reflecting on what 2025 revealed and where we're heading in 2026.Featuring perspectives from:Dr. Luchuo Bain on why this is "the end of global health as we knew it—and the opening we needed."Dr. Seye Abimbola on being "surprised by how surprised people have been" about global health as foreign policyDr.  Boghuma Titanji on reimagining sustainable health financing after devastating aid cutsDr. Madhu Pai on why we can't save global health without saving democracyDr. Mohamed Aburawi on moving from intention to infrastructureSitawa Wafula on AI's unregulated role in mental health careWe examine the human toll of USAID cuts, the sovereignty concerns around bilateral agreements, and the glimmers of agency emerging as countries like Nigeria and South Africa step up with domestic funding.This isn't just a year in review; it's a reckoning with what global health has been and what it must become.To support us, consider becoming a paid subscriber on Patreon or making a one-time donation via PayPal.

Le jour même de son investiture, le 20 janvier 2025, Donald Trump a gelé l'aide américaine internationale pour 90 jours. Il a ensuite démantelé l'Usaid, l'Agence des Etats-Unis pour le développement international, créée en 1961, supprimant plus de 80 % des programmes financés.Ce désengagement brutal forme un trou béant dans le financement de l'aide humanitaire : avec un budget de 42,8 milliards de dollars (environ 40 milliards d'euros) en 2024, les Etats-Unis représentaient 42 % de l'aide mondiale.Les ONG se retrouvent, du jour au lendemain, plongées dans une crise sans précédent. Et les conséquences sur les millions de bénéficiaires, de ceux qui souffrent de malnutrition aux victimes du VIH ou du paludisme, sont dévastatrices.Pour comprendre les retombées de la fin de l'Usaid, Garance Muñoz, productrice du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », a interrogé Piotr Smolar, correspondant à Washington ; Mathilde Boussion, à Johannesburg ; Louise Couvelaire, du service société au Monde, ainsi que Perrine Benoist, directrice générale de l'ONG Action contre la faim.Un épisode de Garance Muñoz. Réalisation : Quentin Tenaud et Thomas Zeng. Rédaction en chef : Adèle Ponticelli. Dans cet épisode : extraits du discours d'investiture de Donald Trump du 20 janvier ; extraits de prises de parole de Donald Trump des 3 et 4 février ; extrait d'un discours de John Fitzgerald Kennedy en 1961 ; extrait d'un discours de Joe Biden du 24 mars 2021 ; extrait d'un discours de Tom Fletcher, chef des affaires humanitaires de l'ONU, le 12 mars 2025.Cet épisode a été publié le 20 mai 2025.---Pour soutenir "L'Heure du Monde" et notre rédaction, abonnez-vous sur abopodcast.lemonde.fr Hébergé par Acast.

Mark Wentling is an international development and humanitarian assistance specialist with over 40 years of relevant experience. He attended the U.S. National War College; international strategic studies program for selected senior members of U.S. armed forces and civilian Foreign Service agencies. US foreign assistance to poor people across the globe was a cost-effective and relatively efficient program. The Trump Administration weakened America's soft power reducing influence over the policies of other countries favorable to the US, alienated many of our allies, cut off business, defense, trade and cultural opportunities, destroyed markets for many American farm products and killed thousands of our poorest and sickest allies. By surrendering America's leadership, China, and other frenemies of the US and democracies, will be delighted to fill the leadership vacuum. No low-income country can trust the US again to be a dependable partner. Future assistance programs should focus on 42 of the poorest countries.

Part 1:We talk with Umair Irfan, VOX correspondent.We discuss home preparedness for climate disaster events. In particular, we discuss how home buyers should approach buying homes that will be affected by climate activity. Zillow no longer provides this information about its listings. Other real estate companies may, and potential buyers should be aware of possible losses due to climate events. Homeowners insurance companies may choose not to write policies, or pay out in the event of a disaster.Part 2:We talk with Brett Murphy, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter with ProPublica.We discuss how the elimination of budgets to USAID has affected different regions of the world that used to get aid. Lack of aid and other support has caused deaths. We talk about how the administration has hidden all the actions that have caused this misery.  WNHNFM.ORG  productionMusic: David Rovics

Over-regulation is not the solution to what ails the American banking system. Rigorous, responsible supervision is. The initial report on the 2023 debacle by former Vice Chairman for Supervision, Michael Barr, was an exercise in obfuscation and sophistry. The American people deserve supervisors who are not asleep at the wheel, and the incoming Chairman of the Federal Reserve should undertake a thorough investigation of the systemic and oversight failures that led to that disaster.

FBI was warned that Jeffrey Epstein was into child porn — but ignored it for 10 years, docs show   A former employee of late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein alerted the FBI that he was interested in “child pornography” and that he threatened to “burn her house down” decades before Epstein became an international fixation — but feds apparently did nothing. Source: nypost.com   If there was every anything about Trump, it would have been released before he reached the bottom of the escalator in 2015, the Comey FBI would have leaked it, and the Dems would have brought it up at some point while Biden was in office. But none of that happened. Why? Because Epstein leads to the Dems, and people like myself have been trying to warn the world about it for 10+ years.  https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2002408563193368834?s=20  and it worked brilliantly. Could you imagine if in Trump's first term he released all this stuff about Epstein? The public would not have believed it, and the Dems/MSM would have claimed it was all politically motivated and fabricated by Trump. The only way this Epstein disclosure was going to work, was to get the public to beg for it. So that's what Trump did. https://twitter.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/2002450017647301084?s=20 https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2002530633394934144?s=20   partner with Wolfe via the TerraMar project, which is also connected to the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation. What is Nathan Wolfe known for? Searching for bat coronaviruses in Ukraine via USAID Project PREDICT, via his biolab company, Metabiota, which was funded via Rosemont Seneca, which is partially owned by Hunter Biden. Russia accused Wolfe and his biolab company of creating genome-specific biological weapons in Ukraine. This situation has been addressed by RFK Jr. and Tulsi multiple times, and has been a major topic at the UN for over 3 years now. So Epstein had an interest in eugenics and he had financial/social connections to virologists who were making genome-specific biological weapons via USAID grants in Ukraine. Nathan Wolfe even directly thanked Epstein in his 2011 book “The Viral Storm: The Dawn of the New Pandemic Age” where Wolfe predicted the COVID pandemic 8 years before it happened… So what am I getting at? I think Epstein had plans to engage in ethnic cleansing/population control/genocide via biological weapon, and I think he had something to do with Covid. Epstein is at the epicenter of the Deep State empire. He was essentially a real life James Bond villain. The timing could not be worse. He and Hillary are in the middle of trying to fight subpoenas to testify in person to the House Oversight Committee on the Epstein matter and what they might know. They want to submit sworn statements.

The United States accused the ship's operators of moving sanctioned crude to fuel narco‑terror activity. Officials issued a stark warning to traffickers: “We will find you, and we will stop you. https://twitter.com/Sec_Noem/status/2002481990755627050?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2002481990755627050%7Ctwgr%5E0acb5b51ea0ddfb03f7a0e25a375c9245159ce68%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Ft%2Fassets%2Fhtml%2Ftweet-5.html2002481990755627050 https://twitter.com/PeteHegseth/status/2002504193924342003?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2002504193924342003%7Ctwgr%5E1410e2476c70f24b31810862ee2f8e034c77bc3e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Ft%2Fassets%2Fhtml%2Ftweet-5.html2002504193924342003  conduct maritime interdiction operations — through OPERATION SOUTHERN SPEAR — to dismantle illicit criminal networks.

This creates a rather bizarre official hypocrisy within the Zelenskyy regime.  The official position of Zelenskyy is that Eastern Ukraine will never be accepted as a part of the Russian federation. Zelenskyy has recently noted, with EU leadership support, that his government will never recognize Eastern Ukraine as part of the Russian federation.  However, this same region, approximately 20% of Ukraine, will not be permitted to participate in his controlled election. Essentially, any Ukraine resident who does not support Zelenskyy will not be permitted to vote in any election, if any election is ever permitted.  Additionally, Zelenskyy notes that “there is the practice of voting abroad,” however, any region not controlled by Zelenskyy cannot submit votes.

Kennedy and now additionally honors President Donald J. Trump, who has brought America back and saved the Trump-Kennedy Center. The Board's action is permissible under the statute and no legislation is necessary. The Board’s action does nothing to change the statutory title. Instead, the Board has–in line with longstanding Executive Branch practice–designated a new name. For example, The Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer, within the Office of Management & Budget, is designated by statute as the “Office of Electronic Government.” But it's long gone by the name “Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer” in official, public, and internal communications. Similarly, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is designated by statute as the “Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.” But since the beginning, the agency has long gone by the name Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or CFPB in all official communications, correspondence with the Hill, titles and signage on its buildings. The “United States Institute of Peace” was established by statute but was renamed by the Department of State as the “Donald J. Trump United States Institute of Peace.” The Department of War was established as the “Department of Defense” by statute in 1947. Earlier this year, President Trump authorized the use of the name “Department of War” and the name is now etched on the Pentagon's building and in official correspondence and public communications. It is entirely fitting for the Board of Trustees to vote to add President Trump to the title so that this Center is now named The Donald J. Trump And The John F.

In this episode of SITREP, CannCon and Alpha Warrior are joined by Colonel Towner Watkins for a wide-ranging, candid discussion that moves from military culture and combat experience to the deeper mechanics of regime change and global power. The conversation examines Venezuela through the lens of history, intelligence operations, and economic warfare, unpacking the role of NGOs, USAID, the IMF, and corporate interests in destabilizing sovereign nations. Colonel Watkins challenges prevailing narratives around narco-states, opposition movements, and so-called humanitarian interventions, drawing parallels to past coups and intelligence-backed operations. Along the way, the panel reflects on the erosion of institutional experience within the U.S. military, the consequences of politicized leadership, and what diplomacy versus force actually looks like on the ground. As always, SITREP blends sharp analysis, lived experience, and unscripted dialogue to cut through headlines and expose the machinery behind modern conflicts.

Mark Vermeulen leeft met hiv en ziet hoe het virus is verschoven van een medisch naar een mensenrechtenprobleem. „Medisch gezien hebben we alles in handen om mensen goed te testen, behandelen en infecties te voorkomen,” zegt hij, „maar die doorbraken zijn niet voor iedereen beschikbaar.” Vooral gemarginaliseerde groepen, zoals „de allerarmsten, homomannen, transpersonen en drugsgebruikers”, worden nu extra hard geraakt door het wegvallen van Amerikaanse steun aan hiv-bestrijding. Trumps bezuinigingen op USAID noemt hij wreed: „Naar schatting zijn er dit jaar al meer dan 400.000 mensen overleden.” Daarmee komt ook zijn ambitie van nul nieuwe hiv-infecties in Nederland onder druk te staan. „Virussen houden zich niet aan landsgrenzen,” waarschuwt hij. Hiv raakt bovendien vooral dertigers en veertigers, de ruggengraat van onze arbeidsmarkt. Zelfs vanuit een cynisch economisch perspectief is de hulp uit de VS dus nodig, stelt hij: „Een hiv-infectie kost zo'n €500.000 op een mensenleven.”Heeft u vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

On the first day of his second term as U.S. president, Donald Trump signed an executive order effectively gutting USAID — the United States Agency for International Development. It's an arm of the government that, in 2024, was operating in more than 130 countries worldwide, providing food, medicine and other life-saving support.At the time, advocates said the cuts would result in preventable deaths from starvation, malnutrition, and easily treatable diseases. Now, nearly a year later, reporting from ProPublica suggests that's what happened, particularly in several African countries.Anna Maria Barry-Jester, a reporter with ProPublica, breaks down her investigation into the fallout of the collapse of USAID.

Nongovernmental organizations (NGO's) are about to lose a great deal of federal government money. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that tax dollars meant for foreign aid have instead been heavily used to prop up NGOs. And many NGOs have gotten involved in programs that facilitate mass migration, in what's now being referred to as the “refugee industrial complex.”We'll discuss this topic and others in this episode of “Crossroads.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

DOGE promised to cut $2 trillion from the U.S. budget. Instead, it delivered chaos, memes, and a black eye—literally. In this video, we unpack Elon Musk's candid post-mortem on the Department of Government Efficiency, why the savings never showed up, and how the “Manhattan Project of our time” turned into a bottle rocket. From the Wall of Receipts to the IRS meltdown and USAID's woodchipper moment, we follow the money (and the missing billions) using Treasury data, Brookings analysis, and some jaw-dropping anecdotes. If you want the truth behind the headlines—and a few laughs along the way—this is the deep dive you've been waiting for.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3eerLA0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derivatives For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corporate Finance: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle

This week, Thomas sits down with Kyle Dietrich, a trauma-informed leadership coach and the founder of Grounded Idealist, for a hopeful conversation about how personal and global crises can spark radical transformation, and how we can build a supportive healing architecture for service workers, healers, parents, and anyone committed to bettering our world.They explore the crucial link between inner work and social change, the need for trauma-informed support for people who've dedicated their lives to helping others, and what resources are essential for all of us to achieve conscious relational systems and sustainable healing.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

Soon after USAID was closed in February, speculation circulated that China would move quickly to fill the void left by the United States. That did not happen. While the Chinese did step in to provide modest additional funding for a handful of programs, like demining initiatives in Cambodia and support for the Africa CDC in Addis Ababa, overall, there's been no significant change in China's foreign aid programs. That did not surprise Alicia Chen, a PhD candidate at Stanford University, who noted in a recent Foreign Affairs article that Beijing is very tactical with where and how it distributes overseas development assistance. Alicia joins Eric to discuss Beijing's foreign aid strategy and how it differs from other major donors.

Чи може громадський сектор залишатися стійким, коли найбільший донор іде раптово? І що відкривається на поверхні, коли зникає звична підтримка – слабкість чи нова сила громад? У фінальному п'ятому епізоді третього сезону говоримо про це разом із дослідницею Open Space Works Ukraine Сашею Целіщевою – співавторкою дослідження про роль українських громадських організацій в грошовій гуманітарній допомозі, та Юрієм Степанцем – головою спілки «Громадські ініціативи». Разом з ведучою подкасту Тетяною Вдовиченко розбираємо, що означав відхід USAID для українського громадянського суспільства і чому ця криза стала «кризою з криз»? У епізоді обговорюємо, як раптовість і масштаб змін оголили донорську залежність, хто виявився найбільш вразливим, а хто – несподівано стійким, чому великі організації «просіли», а малі та локальні втрималися, і як місцеве самоврядування може ставати партнером, а не конкурентом. А ще говоримо про моделі сталості, що працюють без грантів, про європейські підходи, які варто адаптувати в Україні, та про важливість «повертатися до витоків» – тримати зв'язок зі своєю громадою, щоб не втратити сенс і опору. Цей епізод – про чесний погляд на те, як працює сектор, коли знімають зовнішню підтримку, і про можливість змінити маршрути, а не зупинятися. Слухайте фінальний епізод на Spotify, Apple Podcasts та SoundCloud. – і діліться думками, адже шлях до справедливої системи починається з діалогу. До зустрічі в наступному сезоні! Цей сезон подкасту «За лаштунками допомоги» базується на дослідженнях Open Space Works Ukraine (2024–2025). Ми говоримо про те, як громадянське суспільство забезпечує гуманітарну підтримку, адаптується до викликів війни й формує основу для відновлення країни.

As we approach the end of 2025, we take a look back at what happened around the world in Trump's first year back in office. We're joined by two of the best foreign policy writers we know: Franklin Foer and Anne Applebaum from The Atlantic!  We discuss the EIGHT wars and conflicts that Trump has single handedly ended, while also examining the ongoing conflicts in The Middle East, Ukraine, Venezuela, and more. Anne and Frank explain why Trump's Middle East peace plan isn't holding up and why we all should have been skeptical of it from the start. We also look at why the administration's plan for peace between Russia and Ukraine looks like it was written by the Russians themselves. And, of course, we discuss Trump's blatant corruption in both of those theatres. Anne also shares her heartbreaking firsthand account of what the USAID cuts have done to the rest of the world. It highlights the shortsightedness of the entire first year of Trump's second term.

Earlier this year, the White House falsely claimed that millions of US taxpayers' dollars were funding “sex changes” in Guatemala — a lie used to justify gutting USAID, which has provided aid worldwide for more than 60 years. In this episode, we travel to Guatemala to uncover the truth, hear from local organizations caught in the controversy, and learn how losing USAID funding has affected these LGBTQ+ organizations and damaged U.S. credibility abroad.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Thirty years ago, Matt Friedman, CEO and founder of The Mekong Club, worked as a senior USAID public health official across Asia, focused on education and prevention of HIV/AIDS in small rural communities.As part of Matt's work, he visited many shelters where he repeatedly heard the same themes of horror. His first interview was with a fifteen-year-old girl telling him she was sexually abused over seven thousand times. She did this for two years until she was forced to leave because she suffered from various diseases that turned customers away.Matt soon realised that, just as this young girl had been exploited for sex, millions more were being exploited across the world. This exploitation was happening in the sex industry but also permeates global supply chains, from factories to farms to fishing boats.Matt began to work in the United Nations in the anti-trafficking world, where he worked closely with the public and private sectors across Asia. During his tenure, he noticed a gap in engagement with the private sector in their anti-trafficking efforts. Not because they didn't want to, but because they feared being named or shamed for approaching a UN official to ask for help.As a result, Matt left the United Nations and started The Mekong Club in Asia's financial centre, Hong Kong, to provide a safe space for companies worldwide to work together to help identify and eliminate forced labour in the private sector.

FOLLOW UP starts with the realization that Spotify Wrapped thinks we are 82 years old, which honestly feels accurate, followed by a massive shout out to Bama Bryan on Bluesky for listening to us for over 3,000 minutes. We look at the grim stats from the Department of Government Efficiency regarding USAID deaths, then move to IN THE NEWS where the KALSHI CEO wants to monetize "any difference in opinion" because gambling on the news is the future. PALANTIR CEO Alex Karp claims making war crimes constitutional is bad for business, META STARTS KICKING AUSTRALIAN CHILDREN OFF their platforms to avoid fines, and TETHER gets a "weak" rating while U.S. BANK calls the ability to freeze stablecoins "appealing." We discuss the LEAK CONFIRMS OPENAI IS PREPARING ADS for ChatGPT while SAM ALTMAN DECLARES 'CODE RED' to catch up to Google. Speaking of which, ONE OF GOOGLE'S BIGGEST AI ADVANTAGES IS WHAT IT ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT YOU, even if GOOGLE DISCOVER IS TESTING AI-GENERATED HEADLINES that are complete lies. We cover how GROK WOULD PREFER A SECOND HOLOCAUST OVER HARMING ELON MUSK, the US PATENT OFFICE ruling on generative AI, a new report on DAVID SACKS profiting from his administration role, and INSTACART SUES NEW YORK CITY because paying workers a living wage is apparently unconstitutional. We wrap up the news with the HUMAN ROBOT HYPE SCARING CHINA, a sad story where CHILDREN SOB AS WAYMO RUNS OVER DOG, a video showing a WAYMO SELF-DRIVING TAXI TAKES PASSENGER THROUGH ACTIVE POLICE SCENE, and the fact that PASSENGERS FACE DISRUPTION AS AIRBUS UPDATES THOUSANDS OF PLANES due to solar flares.In MEDIA CANDY, the industry is shaking because NETFLIX BUYS WARNER BROS. FOR $82 BILLION, meaning they now own everything from Harry Potter to Batman.

Moving to APPS & DOODADS, we discuss the pure joy of uninstalling DROPBOX, our collective hatred for FUCK CENTER STAGE, and the report that APPLE EMPLOYEES ARE 'GIDDY' ABOUT ALAN DYE'S DEPARTURE. We also cover the horror show where GOOGLE'S AGENTIC AI WIPES USER'S ENTIRE HDD without permission, a study showing YOUR GLITCHY VIDEO CALLS MAY MAKE PEOPLE MISTRUST YOU, and how SCIENTISTS CREATED THE BLACKEST FABRIC EVER.Finally, in THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we learn that CLAUDIA BLACK EXITS ‘AHSOKA' SEASON 2 over pay disputes because Disney is apparently broke, we scrutinize LEAKED CLIPS FROM THE RUMORED 50TH ANNIVERSARY RERELEASE OF THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF STAR WARS (still no R2D2), check out a STORMTROOPER SUIT ON FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE, and mention THE MAD MEN 4K release.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

CAFE stands for “Corporate Average Fuel Economy.” An easy definition, via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is a regulation: …[on] how far our vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel. NHTSA sets CAFE standards for passenger cars and for light trucks (collectively, light-duty vehicles), and separately sets fuel consumption standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and engines. NHTSA also regulates the fuel-economy window stickers on new vehicles. Ending these regulations is part of complying with Trump’s “Unleashing American Energy” Executive Order and the [Transportation] Secretary's “Fixing the CAFE Program” Memorandum, according to the department’s homepage. On Wednesday, the president rattled off the investments in the United States that the auto companies have made since Trump 47 began in January. In one case, he cracked up the room by joking that they could do better than the billions of dollars they are promising: Trump added that it’s part of getting rid of more of the “Green New Scam,” too. https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1996322694099345577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996322694099345577%7Ctwgr%5E31d2137f89d95733dae2dffe91ce3f002937e448%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbeccalower%2F2025%2F12%2F03%2Fwatch-trump-signing-car-industry-eo-ending-burdensome-biden-regulations-n2196786 https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1996325044260085885?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996325044260085885%7Ctwgr%5E31d2137f89d95733dae2dffe91ce3f002937e448%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbeccalower%2F2025%2F12%2F03%2Fwatch-trump-signing-car-industry-eo-ending-burdensome-biden-regulations-n2196786 Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1996587083012378947?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/1996583802559136057?s=20 https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1996582009460732232?s=20   to a seasonally adjusted 191,000, the lowest level since September 2022, with expectations of 220,000. https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1996431168883900552?s=20   fourth consecutive month-over-month decline.

The Dingley Tariff Act of 1897, which was the centerpiece of President William McKinley’s domestic economic policy. He believed in protectionism (using high tariffs to protect American industries and workers from foreign competition). Just like President Trump. Between 1897–1901 the United States had just become the wealthiest and highest-output economy on EARTH, surpassing the United Kingdom as the world's #1 manufacturing nation and #1 economy in total GDP By 1900 U.S. industrial production was roughly equal to that of Britain, Germany, and France COMBINED. Taxation without representation is unconstitutional and ILLEGAL. We, The People are now finally coming to grips with the illusions that have been installed around us our entire lives. Who is the FED? What is the FED? How did the FED come to fruition? What is the Titanic? Who was on the Titanic? What year? Those illusions are now dissolving. The “Golden Age of America” truly is among us.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Blasts Los Angeles County After It Votes to Ban ICE Agents from Wearing Masks Los Angeles County's far-left Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to advance an unprecedented ordinance that would ban law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from wearing masks while working in unincorporated areas of the county. The proposal passed 4-0, with only Supervisor Kathryn Barger abstaining. A final vote is scheduled for next week, and the ordinance would take effect in January 2026, according to the LA Times. Legal experts say federal immigration agents would not be required to follow a county mask ban. The county's top lawyer, Dawyn Harrison, has said she suspects the federal government will likely argue that the county law violates the Constitution, which states that federal law takes precedence over conflicting local statutes.  https://twitter.com/USAttyEssayli/status/1996040656733814854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996040656733814854%7Ctwgr%5E71ecedc2cdf5f5bfec40c6e10a4a461e8ffa25fd%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fassistant-u-s-attorney-blasts-los-angeles-county%2F   by the media and local politicians.

The “war on narco-terrorists” that Secretary Hegseth is bragging about is being run on a legal foundation poured years before Trump ever touched the Oval Office desk. Obama normalized the presidential kill list. He campaigned in 2008 promising rule of law, transparency, and restraint. He delivered a tenfold increase in drone strikes; a White House “Terror Tuesday” meeting where officials literally flipped through PowerPoint slides picking who lived or died; and a legal doctrine allowing the president to kill U.S. citizens without trial, notice, or judicial review. That doctrine – once unthinkable – is now standard operating procedure. Obama's Director of National Intelligence openly admitted in 2010 that the administration was targeting Americans based on vague criteria like whether a citizen was “involved” in a group “trying to attack us.” That’s not evidence… that’s vibes. When civil-liberties groups sued to force the government to explain the legal basis, Obama declared the entire matter a state secret. Meaning: the president could now kill you, and no court was allowed to ask why. The judiciary rubber-stamped it. Both parties embraced it. And the public largely applauded it. Then came the Awlaki killings. Obama ordered the drone assassination of: •⁠ ⁠Anwar al-Awlaki, an American cleric •⁠ ⁠Samir Khan, an American citizen standing next to him •⁠ ⁠Awlaki's 16-year-old son, killed two weeks later at a café The White House smeared the kid as a “21-year-old terrorist.” The next week a birth certificate proved he was a Colorado teenager with zero ties to extremism. The administration shrugged. Obama famously told aides: “Turns out I'm really good at killing people.” And Washington – media, political class, and voters – rewarded him. Fast-forward to 2025. Trump isn't inventing anything new in Venezuela. He's using the exact precedents Obama left behind: Unreviewable executive kill authority, expanded definitions of “enemy combatant,” secret memos. No congressional oversight, no geographic limits, zero court supervision. Obama created the kill switch. Trump just slammed it. If you cheered the drone program when your guy was doing it, you already endorsed what’s happening now. If you let the government redefine due process as “whatever we decide in secret,” you already consented to the next president weaponizing that power. And if you normalize extrajudicial force abroad, eventually it comes home. Obama built the architecture. Trump moved in. And Venezuela is learning what happens when a precedent meets a president with fewer brakes  EU corruption scandal could take down von der Leyen – Politico A corruption probe into former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has thrown European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's position into jeopardy, with opponents preparing to turn the affair into a fresh push to remove her, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing officials in the bloc. Mogherini, who served as the EU's top diplomat from 2014 to 2019 and is now rector of the College of Europe, was detained on Tuesday. She was formally accused by the European Public Prosecutor's Office of procurement fraud, corruption, conflict of interest, and breaches of professional secrecy over an EU-funded diplomatic academy program. In the wake of the scandal, von der Leyen “is facing the starkest challenge to the EU's accountability in a generation,” with her rivals renewing calls for a new no-confidence vote, Politico reported. source:rt.com NATO Members Commit More Than $1 Billion to Purchase U.S. Weapons for Ukraine NATO officials from Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland pledged hundreds of millions more in U.S.-made weapons under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme, Ukrainian media reported. Amid Russian gains on the battlefield, they insist Ukraine must be armed “to keep the fight going.” The alliance offered these commitments while being accused of attempting to sabotage peace talks. Canada, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, and the U.K. all announced new contributions, pushing the total put toward U.S.-made weapons bound for Ukraine toward $5 billion this year alone. These newly allocated funds come at a time when many European governments, increasingly unpopular at home, are cutting domestic programs and warning of budget shortfalls. Source: thegatewaypundit.com Leaked Transcript of EU Conference Call with Zelenskyy Highlights Fear of Trump Securing Peace for Ukraine Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Paris talking to Emmanuel Macron last weekend while Rubio, Witkoff and Kushner were meeting with Ukraine officials in Florida.  This telephone call is reported to have taken place the following day, on Monday. French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy together with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and European Council President António Costa held a conference call. A transcript of the call was leaked to Spiegel, a German news outlet. According to the narrative the assembled group of EU leaders were discussing how the Trump administration was going to betray Ukraine in order to get a peace deal with Russia. The gist of the narrative sounds accurate, though some of the EU leaders are denying the specifics of the wording used. The EU is very worried President Trump may formulate a peace agreement then present the final terms to Ukraine without the EU being involved in the construct of the details. The EU is opposed to any peaceful end to the conflict, because the EU and NATO have positioned their collective economies to only benefit if the military spending continues; they are backstopping their spending with the confiscated Russian assets.   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com   Medical/False Flags https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1996567491334803864?s=20 [DS] Agenda https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/1996550058809188740?s=20   “Ilhan and this group, they spent a lot of money” “So, the people that work for Ilhan (0mar) are actually counting the ballots, counting the vote?” “They (Ilhan Omar’s campaign staffers) become a manager, in the precinct too.” Somalians who don't speak English are also told out how to vote “They walk with you to the booth and then they vote.

Omar's 2018 victory party was held at Safari Restaurant, co-owned by Salim Ahmed Said, now found guilty of pocketing more than $12 million in fraudulent reimbursements after reportedly serving “phantom” meals. A member of Omar's campaign staff has also been convicted in the same broader scheme. Critics note Omar publicly praised the program that later enabled the fraud, and that she maintained ties with several of the participants. Prosecutors say Minnesota's COVID-era meal programs operated with almost no verification, allowing widespread abuse through Feeding Our Future and affiliated entities.

It is on purpose. It is a feature, not a bug,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet J. Dhillon told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Wednesday night. “And the goal is to cram as many people on there and make voters who are not particularly engaged, make it easy for someone else to help them fill out their ballot and return it for them when they didn’t care enough to do it themselves,” she added. “What we can do at the federal government level is ensure that our federal election laws are observed, and that includes each state’s requirement to keep clean voter rolls,” she added. “That is a fundamental basic.” Dhillon spoke one day after her division filed lawsuits against six Democrat-run states — Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington state and Vermont — seeking to compel them to turn over to the DOJ their voter rolls to be inspected for abnormalities, outdated names or noncompliant names. She also struck a deal last week with North Carolina to force it to review and fix over 100,000 voters’ names on rolls in that battleground state that were added without complying with state law. Dhillon said her office is now on track to force through litigation, settlement or voluntary efforts at least 26 states to clean up voter rolls. “We’re now in litigation with 14 states. So the six yesterday included Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington State and Vermont. That adds to eight we already had going,” she said.

Two closely watched surveys of U.S. manufacturing activity painted sharply divergent pictures in November, with one showing continued expansion and the other reporting accelerating contraction, highlighting deep uncertainty about the sector's health amid ongoing adjustment to the new rules of global trade. The S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI registered 52.2 in November, marking the fourth consecutive month above the 50 threshold that separates expansion from contraction. However, the reading slipped from 52.5 in October. By contrast, the ISM Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.2, down from 48.7 in October and marking the ninth consecutive month of contraction. The divergence places the two surveys on opposite sides of the expansion-contraction divide, an unusual occurrence that suggests significantly different conditions across the manufacturing landscape.  https://twitter.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1995904464625000594?s=20   the national debt.
