À Port-au-Prince, des habitants ont décidé de regagner leur domicile. Le gang « Viv Ansanm » promet de faire taire les armes pour permettre le retour des citoyens. Et la population a répondu à l'appel. Des retours qui traduisent la détresse des habitants, fatigués des conditions de vie dans les camps de déplacés, et la volonté de recommencer à vivre normalement malgré les risques.  Dans les quartiers de Solino, Delma 30 et Nazon, d'anciens habitants découvrent les dégâts laissés par la violence, d'autres, la joie de rentrer chez eux après avoir été chassés. Des comités locaux se sont déjà activés pour nettoyer les quartiers. Si du côté des autorités, c'est le silence total, des organisations de défense des droits humains dénoncent cette démarche. C'est le reportage de Peterson Luxama, notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince. Au Guyana, une élection sous tension Alors que le pays élit, ce lundi, son président, le média guyanais Kaieteur News revient sur une attaque qu'il qualifie « d'effrontée » et qui a eu lieu dimanche. Des responsables de la commission électorale ont été visés par des tirs venant de la frontière entre le Guyana et le Venezuela. Ils étaient en train de transporter une urne dans la région de l'Essequibo, à l'ouest du pays. Le territoire est riche en ressources naturelles et convoité par Caracas depuis des décennies. Kaieteur News fait le lien entre cet événement et la multiplication des attaques de gangs vénézuéliens sur le territoire guyanais. Et CNN Latinoamérica s'interroge : « Pourquoi ces élections suscitent-elles autant d'attention que celles d'une nation plus grande et plus active en termes géopolitiques ? » La réponse est simple. Le pays devrait connaître la plus forte croissance de production pétrolière au monde durant les dix prochaines années. En 2015, une compagnie pétrolière avait découvert un gigantesque gisement de pétrole. Mais ce n'est pas la seule raison de l'intérêt porté à cette journée, selon CNN Latinoamérica. Cette élection est la première d'une série de scrutins qui devraient changer la face du continent sud-américain entre aujourd'hui et 2026 et bouleverser les collaborations de la région avec les États-Unis.

Un pas de plus dans la lutte contre le trafic international de drogue menée par Donald Trump. Ce lundi, la Celac se réunit à la demande de la Colombie, qui en assure la présidence tournante. Le média El Colombiano refait le point sur cette rencontre dépêchée d'urgence. Les membres doivent évoquer la situation et rappeler le rejet total de l'ingérence dans la région. El Colombiano revient aussi sur la guerre que mène Donald Trump à Nicolas Maduro, et rappelle qu'il y a quelques semaines, Washington a augmenté la récompense pour la capture du chef d'État vénézuélien. La Maison Blanche le soupçonne d'être en lien avec les cartels. La nouvelle récompense s'élève à 50 millions de dollars. Pour le média d'opposition vénézuélien TalCual, les tensions avec les États-Unis ont atteint un point de non-retour. Il dénonce un déploiement militaire disproportionné pour lutter contre le trafic dans les Caraïbes. TalCual déplore la situation dans le pays où désormais, à l'inefficacité du gouvernement, la pauvreté et la corruption s'ajoutent la menace d'une intervention étrangère.  Medellín, future « Silicon Valley d'Amérique latine » Medellín, la capitale économique de la Colombie, a lancé un grand plan de transformation pour devenir « la Silicon Valley d'Amérique latine ».

Le quotidien américain dresse le portrait de quatre femmes afro-américaines, dont Peggy Carr. Elle est la première personne noire et la première femme à occuper le poste de commissaire du Centre national des statistiques de l'éducation. Après 35 ans de carrière, en février dernier, un officier de sécurité est monté dans son bureau, il lui a donné 15 minutes pour faire ses affaires et l'a escorté en dehors du bâtiment, devant ses collègues sous le choc. Dans chaque portrait, l'histoire se répète : des fonctionnaires remerciés quand Donald Trump a commencé à démanteler les agences d'État, trop woke, trop libérales à ses yeux. Selon le New York Times, depuis des décennies, le gouvernement fédéral sert d'ascenseur social aux Afro-Américaines, discriminées sur le marché du travail. Résultat des courses, à l'échelle nationale, plus de 300 000 femmes noires ont perdu leur emploi dans les secteurs public et privé depuis février 2025. Les hommes blancs, eux, ont enregistré le plus grand nombre d'emplois supplémentaires sur la même période aux États-Unis.

La Amazonía es azotada por una expansión criminal sin precedentes. La FCDS, una organización ambientalista, documentó la presencia de grupos criminales en el 69% de los municipios de la Amazonía noroccidental, un territorio que abarca 6 países de Suramérica, con impactos graves en la biodiversidad y en las poblaciones locales. Es el pulmón de nuestro planeta y la mayor reserva biológica del mundo. Y, sin embargo, la Amazonía se está convirtiendo con el tiempo en un bastión de las mafias. En un informe de 110 páginas titulado Amazonía en disputa, la ONG ambientalista Fundación para la Conservación y el Desarrollo Sostenible (FCDS) detalla la presencia de al menos 17 grupos criminales armados en la parte noroccidental, una región que cubre el 65% de la Amazonía y que se extiende en Brasil, Colombia, Perú, Bolivia, Ecuador y Venezuela. Los grupos armados identificados en la región son Comando Vermelho, Comandos de Frontera, Estado Mayor Central (EMC), Estado Mayor de Bloques y Frente (EMBF), Segunda Marquetalia, Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), Primeiro Comando da Panda (PCP), Familia del Norte (FDN), Piratas dos Solimões, Tropa do Rei (TDR), Los Choneros, Nueva Generación, B13, La Constru, Tren de Aragua y Rápidos del Amazonas. El narcotráfico, la minería ilegal y el tráfico de fauna son algunas de las actividades de estos grupos. Con múltiples consecuencias ambientales: la deforestación afecta el bosque tropical y puede llevarlo al punto de no retorno, es decir reducir su capacidad de regenerarse y capturar CO2. Con datos de las autoridades nacionales, de investigadores locales y de organizaciones en el terreno, la FCDS establece que “estos grupos operan en al menos el 69% (348) de las 456 unidades territoriales de acuerdo con la división administrativa de cada uno de los países”. La presencia criminal es tal que los autores del informe identifican una situación de "gobernanza criminal" en la que estos grupos armados controlan la movilidad, el derecho de reunión, interfieren en elecciones, corrompen las instituciones y recurren al reclutamiento forzado. En esta investigación, la FCDS alerta sobre las amenazas ambientales y sociales derivadas de esta presencia. "Yo empezaría por señalar el proceso de degradación ambiental y de pérdida de control territorial dentro de los territorios indígenas a nivel fronterizo”, indica con Rodrigo Botero, director de la Fundación para la Conservación y el Desarrollo Sostenible que coordinó el informe “Estos territorios son hoy por hoy un objetivo estratégico de ese proceso de criminalidad, porque son corredores de movilidad, porque son territorios en los cuales hay intereses económicos concretos como el tema del oro, el tema de la madera, el tráfico de personas, la movilidad de las armas y la movilidad de los narcóticos”, detalla Botero. Escuche la entrevista completa: ¿Quién tiene la culpa? El auge criminal en la Amazonía es el resultado de décadas de abandono estatal, de la falta de oportunidades económicas para las poblaciones y también de una falta de responsabilidad internacional, denuncia Botero. “Europa, Estados Unidos y Asia generan una demanda comercial por los productos que están rompiendo la Amazonía. ¿Quién compra el oro que está hoy destrozando este territorio? ¿Quién está entrando centenares de cabezas de animales de ganado para generar procesos de lavado alrededor de estas economías y posteriormente generando también expectativas en burbujas de especulación financiera? ¿Quién está comprando más narcóticos?”, se pregunta Rodrigo Botero. “Pues en general son los países que llamaríamos industrializados”, sentencia. Amenazas ambientales de gran envergadura El informe Amazonía en disputa alerta sobre la contaminación por mercurio ligada a la minería clandestina de oro, que alcanza una gran envergadura en la Amazonía. Naciones Unidas calcula que la minería artesanal en Suramérica emitió 600 toneladas por año en 2019. En el parque natural Yaigojé Apaporis en Colombia por ejemplo, se encontraron concentraciones de mercurio en el cabello de los habitantes hasta 22,98 μg/g, casi 10 veces superiores a límites recomendados por la OMS. “Los flujos de distribución de mercurio en [los países de la Amazonia Noroccidental] no han sido controlados. Tenemos una entrada de mercurio proveniente de México que entra por Bolivia también de manera descontrolada y en general hoy ya tenemos un mapeo de grandes zonas del Amazonía con muy altos de contaminación en suelos y en aguas. Encontramos que ya empiezan a haber evidencias de malformaciones genéticas en diferentes países”, dice Rodrigo Botero, entrevistado por RFI. El informe establece además un balance crítico de las políticas de lucha contra la contaminación por mercurio en Perú, Colombia, Brasil y Venezuela, principalmente centradas en operativos militares sin enfoque socio económico para atender la situación de pobreza de las poblaciones locales. “En el caso del Perú, en 2019 el gobierno de Martín Vizcarra ejecutó la Operación Mercurio, cuyo objetivo principal fue combatir y erradicar la minería ilegal aurífera de pequeña escala. La operación se proyectó para una duración de dos años. En el primer año, se logró desalojar aproximadamente al 92% de los mineros ilegales, lo que representó una reducción de la actividad, y se reportó una disminución de hasta el 90% en la deforestación asociada. (...) A pesar de los esfuerzos, los avances iniciales no fueron sostenidos, los esfuerzos militares no se consolidaron en el tiempo, y la minería ilegal resurgió en la región. Desde la implementación de la Operación Mercurio, esta actividad se triplicó en Madre de Dios y el 98% de las áreas previamente recuperadas volvieron a ser explotadas”, detallan los autores del informe. “En el otro lado está la deforestación. Y la deforestación se alimenta de todas estas economías ilegales y de criminalidad y se alimenta porque es una forma de lavado muy importante”, apunta Botero. Uno de los síntomas de esta acelerada deforestación es el crecimiento exponencial de la actividad ganadera. “El crecimiento de un hato ganadero no tiene comparación con ninguna otra región del continente. Recordemos que en los últimos años el hato ganadero en Bolivia ha crecido 16% y 30% en Colombia. Eso significa millones de nuevos animales que están entrando para cambiar de manera irreversible estas regiones de la Amazonía y deforestar”. En las conclusiones del informe, su organización formula una serie de recomendaciones que van más allá del simple uso de la fuerza para luchar contra estas bandas criminales. Como es desarrollar inteligencia, investigación criminal sobre las rentas económicas, los intermediarios del crimen, prevenir el lavado de activo, así como proteger a los líderes ambientales.

Las aguas del caribe oriental han sido en los últimos días el escenario de un importante despliegue militar estadounidense que incluye al Grupo Anfibio de Despliegue Inmediato y varios destructores con capacidad misilística tipo Arleigh Burke. Una movilización que además incluye 4.500 soldados y hasta un submarino nuclear que además de fortalecer su presencia naval contra los cárteles de drogas que operan en el Caribe, buscan elevar la presión contra el régimen de Nicolás Maduro.Si bien la naturaleza de este despliegue militar no sugieren operaciones de desembarco u ocupación en territorio venezolano, representa una exhibición de fuerza sin precedentes en las ya tradicionales tensiones entre Washington y Caracas. Un ejercicio de coerción contra uno de los régimen más represivos del hemisferio y su red internacional de negocios ilícitos, el cual pudiera además profundizar las fisuras del propio régimen venezolano.Y es que desde 15 de marzo de este año, el presidente Donald Trump invocando la Ley de Enemigos Extranjeros comenzó un proceso de deportación masivo de ciudadanos venezolanos acusados de formar parte del Tren de Aragua. Incluida en la lista de organizaciones terroristas, acusada de invadir territorio estadounidense. Lo cual presagiaba una nueva escalada de tensiones bilaterales, negociaciones fallidas, nuevas sanciones y un despliegue militar en sus costas. En este sentido, cabría preguntarnos ¿qué alcance real tendrá esta movilización marítima? ¿qué objetivos estratégicos busca la administración Trump? ¿estamos frente a una posibilidad real de cambio político en Venezuela?Analistas:Manuel Alcántara SáezMaría Puerta RieraEdición y Conducción:Xavier Rodríguez Franco.

On Thursday, Adm. Daryl Caudle said the United States is boosting its maritime force off Venezuela, with more vessels expected next week following recent confirmations of naval deployments.Policy drivers include President Donald Trump's focus on fentanyl, aiming to counter Latin American drug cartels linked to illicit drug flows into U.S. communities.President Nicolás Maduro responded by urging Venezuelans to join a volunteer militia, while the ruling party claims membership exceeds 4.5 million despite critics calling this an overcount.Officials repudiated U.S. accusations and appealed on Tuesday, with Maduro saying over 90% of Venezuelans reject the U.S. `announcements and threats` and calling for militia enlistment, while Samuel Moncada urged António Guterres to halt `all its hostile actions and threats` and Maduro denied drug-trafficking claims.Three amphibious assault ships carrying more than 4,000 sailors and Marines are due next week, but Christopher Sabatini, research fellow at Chatham House, says it's to `make as much noise as possible`; opposition leader Maria Corina Machado adds, `The time has come for change`.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

Edition No235 | 30-08-2025 - War is the grease that helps the wheels turn in Putin's regime. Russia has a history of militarism, and war creates opportunities and circumstances for some powerful Russians to thrive – while the drumbeat of war provides mood music for Putin's propagandists, to keep the population distracted. War and chaos are essential elements of Putin's business model. Trump is the apprentice to Putin's mature dictator. Is he about to learn the lesson that war can help entrench and extend the life of your regime? Help you to rig and even suspend normal democratic processes and democratic culture, such as free and fair elections? War Drums and Ballots: Venezuela, the U.S. Armada, and the Temptation of “Small Victorious Wars. In this episode we're sailing straight into rough water: an increasingly brutal regime in Caracas that only just stared down a popular uprising, U.S. warships surging toward Venezuela's coast, and a stateside whisper campaign about whether a “small victorious war” could morph into a shortcut around bad projections for midterm election results for Trump. We'll also unpack that awkward moment when Donald Trump's demands for Ukrainian elections collided with… Ukrainian law, and Trump had a revelation. Buckle up. It's nice, but it is necessary to explore the political possibilities, no matter how dark and strange. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/29/venezuela-gunboat-diplomacy-trump-madurohttps://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250826-venezuela-deploys-warships-drones-as-us-destroyers-draw-nearhttps://www.aljazeera.com/video/the-take-2/2025/8/28/why-are-us-warships-going-to-venezuelahttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/26/us-warships-head-to-venezuela-fight-against-cartels-or-imperial-ambitionhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-26/venezuela-to-deploy-ships-to-oil-exporting-hub-after-us-movehttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/nicolas-maduro-karoline-leavitt-south-america-donald-trump-chatham-house-b2816576.htmlhttps://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/why-are-us-warships-heading-toward-venezuela/ ----------DESCRIPTION:Geopolitical Showdown: US-Venezuela Tensions and Political CalculationsIn this episode of Silicon Bytes, we delve into the escalating tensions between the US and Venezuela.

//The Wire//2300Z August 29, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: DIPLOMATIC TENSIONS INCREASE IN MIDDLE EAST AND SOUTH AMERICA. MINNEAPOLIS SHOOTING RESULTS IN INCREASED THREAT RISK AS MANY PEOPLE DECLARE SUPPORT FOR THE KILLER.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Indications and warnings are growing regarding what may be a general increase in hostilities throughout the region. Yesterday, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom voted to begin the process of re-imposing the United Nations sanctions on Iran (the same sanctions that were lifted in 2015). In Gaza, the conflict continues as before, with the statements by the White House over the past few weeks giving the green light for another expansion of Israeli operations in Gaza City. This morning, the White House revoked the diplomatic travel visas of Palestinian Authority diplomats, so that they cannot travel to testify before the United Nations General Assembly.Analyst Comment: This could be nothing, or this could be the start of something. Overnight, Turkey inexplicably closed their airspace to all Israeli aircraft and has allegedly cut all economic ties with Israel. Separately, Germany issued warnings to all of their citizens in Iran to leave the country, mostly out of fear of retaliatory attacks. So far, these are very early indications of trouble, but the history of the region is proof that very little is needed for a war to kick off again.South America: US Naval operations continue off the coast of Venezuela, as Venezuelan forces increase territorial defense operations. Several low-level military exercises have been undertaken in Venezuela, and coastal gunboat patrols have increased over the past few days.Analyst Comment: So far, this is all just posturing from both parties. Venezuela has no real defense against American forces, so any real resistance to this "naval diplomacy" effort from the United States will carefully avoid any direct confrontation.-HomeFront-Florida: This morning a mass casualty event was reported on I-95 near Ives Dairy Road in Miami. 29x people were hospitalized due to injuries sustained when a semi truck failed to observe traffic congestion, rear-ending a long line of halted vehicles. The driver has not been identified, but is expected to face charges.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: So far, the fallout from the Minneapolis Church Shooting has left more questions than answers. From a tactical standpoint, the shooter very clearly stated that he selected this Church as a target due to the staff being unarmed and thus unlikely to fight back. The killer also had drawn very crude sector sketches of the Church interior, mapping out the entry and exit points in the Nave. The killer also made statements of specifically avoiding behavioral actions that might tip off authorities that he was planning this attack, indicating that this had been in the works for some time.Similarly, online rhetoric has been exceptionally severe following this attack, with hundreds (if not thousands) of accounts online supporting the killer. There is even one company selling T-shirts with the killers face, declaring support for his actions. One Massachusetts man posted a video online encouraging further attacks on Christian institutions, and many others have also declared the intent to carry out other attacks (though without providing specific and actionable details). In short, the online atmosphere among the usual suspect platforms (Reddit, Discord, etc), has indicated that the threat of copycat attacks is higher than usual. It's hard to say how serious most of these threats are, however the sheer number of people who have expressed support for this attack should not be ignored and should be taken seriously out of an abundance of caution.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Ghost unpacks the latest global power plays, starting with Russia's surprising move to recognize the Taliban government and its pledge to support Afghanistan in fighting terrorism and drug trafficking. He ties this shift to Trump's Doha Agreement and exposes how U.S. interventions fueled the opium trade and destabilized the region. From there, Ghost examines Afghanistan's central role in pipeline politics, Pakistan's decades-long entanglement with U.S. intelligence, and the broader fight over Eurasian sovereignty. The episode then pivots to Trump's dominance in Ukraine peace talks, his tariffs strategy, and Europe's fragile position in the conflict. Ghost also breaks down U.S. influence operations in Greenland, Denmark's pushback, and the Pentagon's plan to shift Greenland into NORTHCOM, raising questions about sovereignty and strategy in the Arctic.

Nesse mesmo período, assinaram contrato com a gravadora RCA Victor e gravaram seu primeiro compacto, É um Problema.Em 1975, lançaram seus dois primeiros LPs: um para o público brasileiro e outro, em espanhol, voltado à América Latina.No ano seguinte, em 1976, ficaram conhecidos em todo o país ao gravarem a canção Não Se Vá, pela qual são lembrados até hoje. O maior sucesso da dupla ainda é recordista em vendagens de discos dos anos 1970. A música conquistou discos de Ouro e de Platina e foi considerada um dos grandes símbolos musicais daquela década. Recentemente, Não Se Vá ganhou uma versão no ritmo de forró, mostrando que o casal sempre soube se reinventar no cenário musical.

El llamado Cartel de los Soles se refiere a una presunta red criminal integrada por altos mandos militares y funcionarios venezolanos, vinculada al narcotráfico, al lavado de dinero, la minería ilegal y otras actividades ilícitas.La pregunta es: ¿Existe realmente? El ex fiscal venezolano Zair Mundaray, exiliado en EEUU, explica los mecanismos de esta organización. Estados Unidos califica al Cartel de los Soles como “una organización criminal que se hace pasar por un gobierno”. Esta semana, el gobierno argentino lo declaró “organización terrorista”. En contraste, el presidente de Colombia, Gustavo Petro, sostiene que no existe y lo describe como “una excusa ficticia de la extrema derecha para derribar gobiernos que no obedecen”. Frente a estas versiones, el ex fiscal venezolano Zair Mundaray, exiliado en Estados Unidos y crítico del chavismo, cree que “hay decenas de testimonios dentro del sistema de justicia norteamericano que dan cuenta de que Chávez creía en la posibilidad de que, en vez de combatir a los carteles y las organizaciones terroristas que hacen vida en Colombia, estas pudieran tener una forma de contribuir de alguna manera a la seguridad del proceso político". Estados Unidos acusa al presidente Nicolás Maduro de encabezar esta organización narcoterrorista, cuyo nombre hace referencia a una insignia de los militares de Venezuela. Según el ex fiscal, "muchas personas que formaron parte de esta planificación criminal han declarado y han sido detenidos, hay colaboradores, es decir, el Cartel de los Soles tiene un sustento probatorio". "Miente Petro, sobre todo cuando dice que no existe, porque la misma inteligencia colombiana era plenamente consciente de la participación de altos funcionarios no sólo de la Fuerza Armada Nacional, sino de organismos de seguridad de Estado".  Zair Mundaray, estudioso del narcotráfico, explica por qué el Cartel de los Soles es una organización criminal particular: A diferencia de los carteles de México o Colombia, quienes controlan las operaciones formarían parte del propio Estado venezolano. "En el caso venezolano los que llegaron al poder se convirtieron en narcotraficantes. No estás hablando de un cártel como un cártel mexicano o el Clan del Golfo. Estamos hablando de  quienes están sentados en las oficinas públicas del Estado venezolano y tienen todo el poder de fuego y el dominio territorial", explica el experto.  Para el ex fiscal Mundaray, una de las pruebas más claras de la existencia del Cartel de los Soles está en un hecho paradójico: en Venezuela no se registra la violencia ligada al narcotráfico que sí golpea a países como Colombia. "El narco no ha traído los niveles de violencia que tiene Colombia. Puedes traficar miles de de toneladas y pasar por donde sea, y nadie se está matando por ello, como sí ocurre en Colombia cuando el Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN) pisa el territorio de la disidencia o cuando el Clan del Golfo pelea por su espacio. Aquí no hace falta eso, porque tienes una fuerza armada que lo hace y el que lo haga fuera de ese control sí lo alcanza la mano del Estado y lo apresa. Esto es una de las perversidades mayores del sistema creado por el chavismo".

Thousands of US troops are on warships heading to Venezuela’s coast. President Donald Trump says the move is part of his administration’s fight against drug cartels that the US has labelled terrorist organizations. In response, Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro has ordered troops to the border and called on citizens to mobilize to defend the country. Is Trump’s aggressive move about fighting drugs or a signal of broader US intervention?

Andrew Day, Jude Russo, and Joseph Addington discuss the FBI raid on John Bolton's home, President Donald Trump's firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, the possibility of war with Venezuela, and more. Recorded August 27, 2025.

This segment dissects how Democratic politicians and media figures allegedly use mass shootings to advance a political agenda. The host argues that figures like Jen Psaki and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are using the same, coordinated talking points—specifically the phrase "thoughts and prayers are not enough"—to immediately pivot the conversation to gun control. The hosts draw a parallel to "Operation Mockingbird," a CIA program to influence media, and suggest that a similar, modern-day effort is at play. They contend that the real goal of these synchronized messages is not to offer solace, but to lay the groundwork for future gun confiscation. This, they claim, is a long-term plan to disarm the American public, a first step in a larger agenda that could lead to a future resembling socialist states like Venezuela, where the government and its loyalists are the only ones with firearms. The segment challenges the audience to recognize these patterns and resist the push for gun control, viewing it as a move toward a future where the average citizen is powerless.

This comprehensive analysis deconstructs what is presented as a series of interconnected crises facing the nation. The hosts argue that a disturbing and underreported pattern of violence is emerging, directly linking multiple mass shootings and other violent acts to individuals who identify as transgender or gender non-conforming. They contend that this "epidemic" is enabled by a coordinated effort from Democratic politicians and the mainstream media, which they accuse of suppressing key evidence like toxicology reports and manifestos that would expose a link between cross-sex hormones and psychosis. The segment further expands on this theme of political conspiracy, alleging that a modern-day "Operation Mockingbird" is at play. The hosts claim that Democratic figures are using synchronized talking points, such as "thoughts and prayers are not enough," to covertly advance a gun confiscation agenda. This is framed as a dangerous push toward a "Venezuela-like" state where only criminals and those loyal to the ruling party would be armed. On the cultural and economic fronts, the hosts celebrate what they see as major victories in the "culture war," citing the stock market performance of companies like American Eagle and Cracker Barrel after they faced progressive backlash. They also claim that official economic data, including GDP and inflation numbers, has been deliberately misrepresented by the media to create a false narrative. Finally, the segment touches on a purported "dual justice" system where Democrats are not held accountable for their crimes, and a growing national security threat stemming from an alleged doubling of Chinese student visas, which they believe is a form of treason and a deliberate strategy to allow for industrial espionage.

This segment weaves together a series of controversial topics, arguing that recent events are part of a larger, coordinated political and cultural battle. The hosts first explore a perceived pattern of violence linked to transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, suggesting that mainstream media and law enforcement are actively concealing evidence to protect the Democratic Party. They specifically highlight the withholding of toxicology reports and manifestos, arguing that these documents would reveal a connection between cross-sex hormones and psychosis, a claim they base on a Google search and a translated Russian text. The conversation then pivots to the political use of tragedy, accusing Democratic politicians and media figures of using synchronized, pre-written talking points—specifically the phrase "thoughts and prayers are not enough"—to immediately push for gun control. The hosts connect this alleged coordination to a modern-day "Operation Mockingbird," a conspiracy theory that the CIA manipulates the media. This is framed as a long-term strategy to disarm the public, which the hosts warn could lead to a future like Venezuela, where only criminals and the government have guns. Finally, the hosts discuss broader cultural and economic issues, including President Donald Trump's handling of Chinese student visas and trade, and what they see as recent victories in the "culture war," citing a positive financial outcome for the American Eagle brand after a controversial ad. The segment concludes with a critique of the Democratic Party and the celebration of what they view as significant cultural and economic wins against the left.

This segment breaks down the political and media reaction to a recent school shooting in Minneapolis, arguing that it follows a predictable pattern of deflection and propaganda. The host claims that both the Minneapolis Police Chief and Mayor, who are identified as Democrats, immediately tried to steer the conversation away from the shooter's motives and towards an attack on "transphobia" and the idea of "thoughts and prayers." The hosts draw a parallel to the Nashville school shooting, asserting that the Minneapolis shooter, who used "woke" talking points and called himself "the woker," was a "copycat" inspired by the previous incident. They criticize the Democratic Party for allegedly turning the Nashville shooter into a "folk hero" by celebrating a "Transgender Day of Visibility" and failing to condemn violence. This, they argue, sends a clear message that violence is acceptable and even celebrated. The discussion also tackles the coordinated use of the phrase "thoughts and prayers are not enough" by figures like Jen Psaki and others in the media. The hosts interpret this as a thinly veiled attempt to push for gun confiscation, a goal they claim Democrats are now hesitant to openly state due to the increasing number of gun owners within their own voter base. The segment ends with a warning about a potential future without the right to bear arms, likening it to a "Venezuela-like" state where only criminals and the government are armed.
