QE is coming back — and President Trump isn't happy about Peter Schiff saying it out loud. After Schiff's Fox interview, Trump fired off a Truth Social post attacking him… but the math doesn't lie. Washington's spending is exploding, deficits are surging, and the Fed has no way to finance it without returning to quantitative easing.This episode is sponsored by NetSuite. Download the free “demystifying ai” at https://netsuite.com/goldIn this episode of The Peter Schiff Show, host Peter Schiff delves into the resurgence of Quantitative Easing (QE) and its implications for the economy. He argues that the return of QE is a clear signal that politicians, particularly Trump, are unable to fund their ambitious agendas without relying on monetary expansion. As markets begin to react to this reality, Schiff highlights the unraveling of the "Everything Bubble" and the inevitable departure from affordability that follows. With keen insight, he exposes the truths that politicians refuse to acknowledge, emphasizing that the consequences of QE will impact everyday Americans. Tune in as Schiff navigates these critical issues, offering a perspective rooted in economic reality.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Opening Remarks00:55 Federal Reserve's Recent Actions03:23 Quantitative Easing Explained08:16 Market Reactions and Predictions12:11 Impact on Inflation and Employment30:45 Tariffs and Their Economic Impact39:41 Trump's Role in Inflation40:18 Biden's Inflation Policies41:29 Trump's Economic Policies Critiqued41:46 Fox News Interview Fallout46:20 Housing Market Reset48:10 Trump's Reaction on Social Media55:18 Debate Challenge to Trump56:09 Bitcoin vs. Tokenized Gold Debate01:09:42 Investment Advice and PredictionsFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/newsFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/books#QE #QuantitativeEasing #EconomicImpactOur Sponsors:* Check out FRE and use my code LISTEN20 for a great deal: https://frepouch.com* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/GOLD* Check out Justin Wine and use my code SCHIFF20 for a great deal: https://www.justinwine.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Monday is your deadline to pick an insurance plan on the Affordable Care Act marketplace – and there is still zero plan to ensure that the enhanced subsidies that make those premiums affordable – or, more affordable – will stay in place. But that won't stop Congress from trying! The Senate is expected to vote today on two healthcare plans — one from Republicans, and one from Democrats. For details on what's in those proposals, some of the plans formulating in the House, and whether any of them stand a chance of passing, we spoke with Julie Rovner. She's the chief Washington correspondent at KFF Health News and host of KFF Health News' "What the Health?" podcast.And in headlines, the Federal Reserve lowered its key interest rate for the third time in a row, President Trump uses the U.S. military to seize an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, and a new proposal could require travelers from all over the world to hand over their social media for vetting before entering the U.S.A.Show Notes:Check out What The Health – https://tinyurl.com/yuvzedcyCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa. The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it. https://twitter.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1998791717752062345?s=20 Autopen. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1998407015756964343?s=20 to decide if it gets a floor vote. I hope they do the right thing. The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.' It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream. Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump's words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist. In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise. The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face. For many Americans, the affordability crisis is so severe that they think the American dream is no longer within reach. In fact, only 22 percent of young Americans think they will be better off than their parents.

Countries on the list include much of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Qatar, Israel, Chile and Brunei. Citizens or nationals of these countries have been allowed to freely travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. If the proposal is adopted, they’ll have to share their online footprint – something that immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applicants from different categories have been required to provide since 2019. The list also includes; Telephone numbers used in the last five years Email addresses used in the last 10 years IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos Biometrics – including facial, fingerprint, DNA and Iris data Information about one’s family – including names, telephone numbers, dates of birth, places of birth and residences.

The Code Conduct is a document agreed upon by social media companies for removing hate. The improved upon “Code of Conduct Plus” continues to be an important tool under the DSA: “On 20 January 2025, the revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online + (the ‘Code of conduct+') was integrated into the regulatory framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA), following a positive assessment from the Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. The Code of conduct+, which builds on the Code of Conduct adopted in 2016, strengthens the way online platforms deal with content deemed illegal hate speech according to EU law and Member States' laws. It facilitates compliance with and the effective enforcement of the DSA in this specific area.” This new Conduct Code+ was established as a “DSA Code of conduct”. This empowered civil society organisations to act as watchdogs. “Following its integration, adherence to the Code of conduct+ may be considered as an appropriate risk mitigation measure for signatories designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA.” “The DSA classifies platforms or search engines that have more than 45 million users per month in the EU as very large online platforms (VLOPs)” https://twitter.com/emd_worldwide/status/1998556257251152246?s=20 letter confirms the details of that action. And it arrives at a very appropriate moment.

[…] ‘I think they're weak', the Republican said, referring to the continent's presidents and prime ministers, adding, ‘I think they don't know what to do. Europe doesn't know what to do'.” “European Council President António Costa said Europe and the U.S. ‘must act as allies' — and urged the Republican leader to show ‘respect'.

Washington, once UNRWA's biggest donor, froze funding in January 2024 after Israel accused roughly a dozen staff members of involvement in the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack that triggered the war. If the move goes through, it would effectively criminalize a major arm of humanitarian relief in Gaza and beyond. Although, it’s been noted that such sanctions would be highly unusual, since the U.S. is both a U.N. member and the host nation of the body that created the agency in 1949. Despite this, Trump previously reaffirmed that the U.S. would not fund UNRWA earlier this year. In October, Secretary of State Marco Rubio also referred to UNRWA as a subsidiary of Hamas: “UNRWA’s not going to play any role in it… The United Nations is here, we're seeing the work they're doing… They’re on the ground. We’re willing to work with them if they can make it work, but not UNRWA. UNRWA became a subsidiary of Hamas.” https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/1998824786022003044?s=20 billion they seized might well come up https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1998849819071353071?s=20 is going to demand their frozen assets be returned.

Zelenskyy responded, saying the decision is solely for Ukrainians. “This is a question for the people of Ukraine, not people from other states, with all due respect to our partners,” he said. Ukraine’s constitution bars elections under martial law, but Zelenskyy signaled he’s willing to hold one anyway and asked the U.S. and European partners for help securing a wartime vote. “Since this question is raised today by the president of the United States of America, our partners, I will answer very briefly: Look, I am ready for elections,” he said. “Then, in the next 60 to 90 days, Ukraine will be ready to hold the elections. I personally have the will and readiness for this.” Zelenskyy’s five-year term expired in May 2024.

Brian Cole Jr, the man charged with placing pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committees' Washington, DC headquarters the evening before January 6, 2021, was reportedly a massive fan of the children's series “My Little Pony,” making fan art and fan fiction dedicated to the characters.Per the New York Post, Cole, 30, appeared to have gone by usernames including iDeltaVelocity, Bron1Delta, Delta1Forgotten, and Blue Velocity online. In one account on an online forum, Cole allegedly posted dozens of fan art pieces dedicated to the My Little Pony franchise. Many of the art pieces feature characters with light purple bodies and multicolored hair.In a Tumblr account associated with the username delta1forgotten, Cole allegedly wrote in response to another user's drawing of a My Little Pony character with a machine gun, “Eh… I'd give her an RPG [Rocket-Propelled Grenade]. What can I say? Explosions are COOL!!”My Little Pony is a franchise marketed at young girls. An adult male fan of the toys are known as a “Brony,” a community that at its peak was large enough to hold annual conventions. Assistant Professor of Psychology Dr Daniel Chadborn wrote in his book “Meet the Bronies: The Psychology of the Adult My Little Pony Fandom,” “The subculture of Bronies was very online and unique and attracted a lot of male fans, who were breaking gender norms, which attracted a lot of attention.”He noted that the subculture is generally not sexual, however, he is not surprised that some members within the community are troubled. “Someone who is disaffected is often going to look for spaces to engage in, for a sense of identity and belonging.”Cole also allegedly wrote fanfiction dedicated to the franchise, with one story marked as being an “adventure/horror” story featuring the characters Applejack and Applebloom Source: thepostmillenial.com Winning: Woke D.C.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?” .

Moreover, Trump faces unique challenges in an intransigent Deep State and an array of rogue judges, neither of which any other President has faced at this scale. Nevertheless, in less than a year Trump has kept more of his campaign promises than any other President since FDR. Some of you people need to wise up. There is no Government Fairy. It’s a hard slog, and we’re winning–unless YOU mess it up, Doomsters.

It suppresses voter enthusiasm, suppresses voter turn out, and creates exactly the barren ground that Leftists have come to expect from a conservative movement that seems determined to fail at every turn even when it is winning. *versus* 2. “I am so happy that we have made so much progress. Trump has done amazing things in a short period of time against unprecedented institutional resistance. We are winning and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the restoration of our Constitutional republic. Nevertheless, there is much to be done. President Trump and the true conservatives in Congress need our enthusiastic, vocal support. We must keep the pressure on the eGOP, the Democrats and the lying media. This is a tough battle, but we will win.” THAT my friends is a message of victory.

In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana's case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don't want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn't care. He's either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn't be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way. Bray and his friends are the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won't be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again. One of my favorite States, Indiana, will be the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down! Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens. Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision. For some Republicans who support Trump’s policy but have struggled to properly communicate the importance to their constituents, the president simplified the issue for the entire party.

Donald Trump's kleptocracy didn't happen overnight–it was part of the Kremlin's long game. With reports of Russia trying to explode planes headed to the US, we're running out of time to wake up before it's too late. In this week's bonus show for Gaslit Nation's Patreon supporters, who keep our independent journalism going in these dark times of institutional rot, media capitulation, and complacency, Andrea warns that we're nearing the point of no return. Putin can now say the U.S. and Russia are aligned, because they are. Trump's regime is declaring a return to the Monroe Doctrine, claiming the Western Hemisphere belongs to the U.S. That's exactly what Putin does in Eastern Europe. The Pentagon is handing Trump's gestapo-like immigration agenda $2 billion on top of $75 billion for ICE in Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Like Putin, Trump is building a gulag and gearing up for conflict with our neighbors, including Mexico, Venezuela, and whoever else he wants to casually kill. As we've long warned, Trump wants to become the Putin of North America, because that's his plan for staying in power indefinitely: enrich his family, build a dynastic oligarchy, and protect it with sadistic security services. To help us fight back and stay grounded in the gaslighting, this special bonus show includes a discussion of Gaslit Nation's Book Club: Total Resistance by Hans von Dach–a civilian guerrilla resistance guide produced by a Swiss military theorist in preparation for Soviet occupation during the Cold War–and Deaf Republic, a play-like book of poems by Ukrainian-born poet Ilya Kaminsky. "At the trial of God, we will ask: why did you allow all this?," Kaminsky writes, "And the answer will be an echo: why did you allow all this?" We have to stop the worst from happening and wake people up before it's too late. For ways to fight back, check out, and share, the Gaslit Nation Action Guide on GaslitNationPod.com. The full discussion of this month's book club will be published on Patreon Monday morning, along with the Zoom link for the Gaslit Nation Salon at 4pm ET later that day. To get access to that, join our community on Patreon at Patreon.com/Gaslit and get invites to exclusive events, bonus shows, all episodes ad free, and more.

Bloomberg’s Eric Martin explains how the move further ramps up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Anthony Scaramucci (Founder and Managing Partner, SkyBridge Capital, former White House Communications Director, and author, “Solana Rising: Investing in the Fast Lane of Crypto”) joins Chris Cuomo to break down how Trump's influence reshaped American politics — from loyalty culture and broken institutions to the money pipelines that fuel the outrage economy. Scaramucci explains why Trumpism still distorts incentives in Washington, why corruption persists across both parties, and how political dysfunction became a profitable business model. Cuomo and Scaramucci also dig into the economics behind the moment — from crypto's growing role in global finance to how digital markets, speculation, and new technologies intersect with political instability. They explore what a post-Trump GOP might look like, whether voters still reward serious leadership, and why America's systems keep drifting further from what working people actually need.

The New Yorker staff writer Katy Waldman joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss how the Kennedy Center, the premier performing-arts hub in Washington, D.C., has been transformed under President Trump's second term—and under his chaotic and unprecedented chairmanship of the organization. They talk about this year's Kennedy Center Honors, which featured a group of honorees that reflect the President's personal tastes, as well as the past year of mass firings, boycotts, and programming changes that have followed the Trump-led upheaval inside the institution. They also examine Trump's relationship to arts and culture, and how the planned White House ballroom reflects the kind of cultural legacy he hopes to leave behind.

From 12/11 Hour 3: The Sports Junkies debate if Washington will shut down Jayden Daniels.
Thing Discussed: Proportioning outrage: Sherrone, the maximum. Athletics department? Don't know but suspect people knew for a long time and didn't react until they got information they had to act on. The assistant he had an affair with? We don't know—not exonerated but also let's be conscious that sharing her name and photo and history of an unfamous person irreversibly makes her famous for This, for life. It also has a chill effect on other women caught in illicit relationships with powerful men, and we have a public interest in making sure that math favors coming forward, not participating in the cover-up. What is going on here that we don't have a control mechanism? Brian: I don't trust Warde in this situation because we saw the process for Mel Pearson. No faith this was handled appropriately. Who lied to you Sam? Sam: for certain, Sherrone lied. That wasn't the only basis for his report. Michigan investigated or "looked into it" and they didn't have credible evidence until yesterday when the woman came forward. (He doesn't say this but I took it to mean she lied to the investigators originally). Brian: Warde Manuel has done nothing in 11 years but bumble from one crises to another. Sam: A coverup did take place, between the involved parties. What could Michigan have done to reveal it? We don't know. What brought it to light was she came forward. Argument with Craig over the Wilmer Hale report over Mel Pearson: Craig doesn't like the report, argues for due process; Brian and Seth found the report credible and included you-have-to-fire-him level offenses, and Warde sat on it for months. Other Thing Discussed: Candidates Kalen DeBoer: If he'll listen. Minter: think we can work around the show-cause, might not be able to work around the fact he's in line for NFL jobs. Jeff Brohm: Proven coach, Louisville alum but would listen. Jason Eck: Former Wisconsin OL and line coach who's a cultural fit, only been a HC for 4 years and only New Mexico for one year. Think he's a Harbaugh after 1 year at Stanford. Wildcard: Jay Harbaugh. Bad ideas are bad ideas. Seth notes insanity is possible, e.g. John Harbaugh might come available. Also hiring a coach these days won't be on the AD; you bring in consultants for this sort of thing. It's a much better job than PSU right now, or the last 3 Michigan coaching searches when we were trying to replace Lloyd Carr without paying anybody, trying to find someone who will debase himself to work for Dave Brandon, or Harbaugh-or-bust with a program coming out of a Hoke low. Michigan job today is you get to pick your staff, maybe pick your AD, and inherit Bryce Underwood and a roster built for success with a top 2 or 3 (maybe even #1) NIL war chest. Will DeBoer listen? Math has changed: Alabama fans are holding him to an unreasonable standard based on what Saban did during a time when Alabama had more advantages over Michigan than they did now. Sam: Think DeBoer will listen. If not for that Playoff selection they were ready to run him out of town. People there are expecting him to have the success Saban had in a system that does not afford him the same advantages that Nick Saban had. Brohm will listen too. Sam: Loves Brent Key (also his alma mater), but how much of his success is Hayes King? Lea same thing; why not hire Diego Pavia. Floor: Jedd Fisch, is fine, not a high ceiling, or might be. He's done what we would want to see at Arizona and Washington.
Since joining NATO in 2024, Sweden has taken on a more prominent role in European security. Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson joined Ryan in Washington to discuss how Sweden is supporting Ukraine, rebuilding its own military with more resources, and pushing for a faster, more agile defense acquisition system.
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Americans and patients in other countries compare health care from medication expenses to emergency care costs as health care reform is being legislated. Bottom Line .. in about 22 days, a large portion of government health care subsidies expire, affecting the cost and availability of insurance for no less than millions of people. And yet, Congress is set to leave Washington in two weeks. While we suddenly have a number of plans to try to fix this problem, there is also Republican paralysis over which one they want. Only time will tell.

We start this episode by giving an update on 3I/Atlas and what we may be able to see from it within the next few days. We then turn our attention to the US; where there's flooding in Washington, the House just bipartisanly passed an annual $900 billion defense budget, and Florida just listed CAIR as a terrorist support group. We then shift down south to discuss the latest with Venezuela, the Nobel prize recipient that the media wont talk about, and the oil tanker seized by American forces. Speaking of oil, we then shift over to Iraq, where American oil companies have been invited to pick up where the Russian oil companies left off after the Iraqi government kicked them out of the country. Sticking on the middle east, we give an update on Gaza and the situation there, before moving North to talk about the "Raise the Colours" movement that has mobilized to France to assault refugees trying to make their way across the English channel to "seek assylum". We then shift east to the Russian pilots that launched themselves into a concrete hangar roof by ejecting themselves out of a plane...while it was parked inside the hangar. A top secret NATO plan has been revealed, and members have been planning to launch an 800,000 strong offensive against Russia if the war continues westward. Speaking of, Trumps 28 point plan has now been reduced to a 20 point plan, but Putin still doesn't seem willing to come to the negotiation talks. WE continue to the far East, where Japan has had two massive earthquakes rock the country, as well as having Chinese fighter jets lock on to Jpanese air assets over international waters. Next we travel south and discuss the Thailand Cambodia border dispute and how it has reignited in a massive number of scurmishes all along the border. We finish this episode by talking about Australias new federal law that blocks anyone under the age of 16 from ALL social media platforms!To join in on the conversations ext week, go to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), the first female combat veteran ever elected to the United States Senate and author of DAUGHTER OF THE HEARTLAND: My Ode to the Country that Raised Me, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the failed healthcare votes in the Senate, after both the Republican and Democratic proposals fell short earlier today. Ernst discussed why the Republican plan focuses on directing subsidies to citizens, not insurance companies, in order to stop the rampant Obamacare skimming and fraud that has flourished under Democratic leadership. Ernst also reacted to the disgusting messaging from Rep. Bennie Thompson who called the jihadist attack on National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C. an "unfortunate accident." Benson and Sen. Ernst closed by discussing the pace of judicial nominations and why the Trump administration must move quickly to get their judges confirmed for the present term. Listen to the full interview below!

The prosecution has officially rested its case in the Brian Walshe murder trial after eight days of testimony — and Day 8 delivered some of the most emotional moments yet. Two of Ana Walshe's closest friends took the stand, painting a picture of a woman at her breaking point just days before she allegedly died at the hands of her husband. Gem Mutlu, a family friend and the last known person to see Ana alive besides Brian, testified about spending New Year's Eve 2022 with the couple at their Cohasset home. He described a festive evening where all three signed a champagne box with hopeful messages about the year ahead — Ana writing "We are the authors of our lives" and Brian adding "To the best triumvirate ever." But Mutlu also revealed that Ana had confided in him days earlier about serious marital problems, the toll of her commute between D.C. and Massachusetts, and the weight of Brian's ongoing federal fraud case. When Brian called Mutlu three days later to report Ana missing, Mutlu said his tone was "not panicked" — calm and even-keeled, despite claiming his wife had vanished. Alissa Kirby, Ana's best friend from Washington, D.C., broke down on the stand as she recounted their last night together on December 29, 2022. According to Kirby, Ana was exhausted, upset, and "at a breaking point." She testified that Ana had told Brian she loved him "not as much" anymore and was "falling out of love." Kirby also revealed that Brian's mother had allegedly consulted a psychic who said Ana was having an affair — something Ana found both ridiculous and frightening, telling Kirby that Diana Walshe had never liked her and wanted her "out of the picture." Jurors also saw additional surveillance footage of Brian purchasing cleaning supplies at Home Depot — including 12-pound bags of baking soda later found on blood-stained carpets in the trash — and disposing of items at a Brockton apartment complex dumpster. Brian's federal probation officer testified about his strict home confinement conditions, noting he submitted no approved outings for January 1, 2023, the day prosecutors allege Ana was killed. After the prosecution rested, the defense filed a motion for a directed verdict of not guilty, arguing insufficient evidence of premeditation and that prosecutors failed to prove Brian even knew about Ana's affair. Judge Diane Freniere denied the motion, ruling there is sufficient evidence for the jury to decide. The defense begins calling witnesses Thursday — and the question on everyone's mind is whether Brian Walshe himself will take the stand to explain the internet searches, the cleanup supplies, and the lies. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #Day8 #ProsecutionRests #GemMutlu #AlissaKirby Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Last week, the Trump administration released its National Security Strategy. Such documents are usually fairly staid exercises in lofty rhetoric. Not this one. It harshly rebukes the strategies of prior administrations, highlighting what Trump's team sees as the failures of traditional foreign policy elites. It pointedly criticizes Washington's traditional allies in Europe and fixates on security issues in the Western Hemisphere, but it has little to say about American rivals such as China and Russia. In recent weeks, the administration has provided a demonstration of what its strategy looks like in practice, launching controversial strikes against boats allegedly trafficking drugs in the Caribbean and mulling military intervention in Venezuela, while also putting the trade war with China on hold and pushing for a negotiated end to the war in Ukraine. To Kori Schake, this approach represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the means and ends of American power. Now a senior fellow and director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, Schake served on the National Security Council and in the State Department in the George W. Bush administration, and she has become one of Trump's sharpest critics. What she sees from the administration is “solipsism masquerading as strategy,” as she put it in her most recent piece for Foreign Affairs. Schake argues that the administration's actions—and the worldview undergirding them—are based on “faulty assumptions” with potentially dire consequences: a United States hostile to its longtime allies, a brewing civil-military crisis at home, and a world order that could leave Washington behind.

In this episode of the Food Junkies Podcast, Clarissa and Molly sit down with psychologist Dr. Carrie Wilkens to unpack what it really means to help people change without shame, stigma, or power struggles. Drawing from decades of work in substance use, eating disorders, trauma, and family systems, Carrie invites us to rethink "denial," "relapse," "codependency," and even the disease model itself, while still honoring the seriousness of addiction and the depth of people's pain. Together, we explore how self-compassion, curiosity, and values-based behavior change can transform not only individual recovery but also how families, helpers, and communities show up for the people they love. In this episode, we explore: Lived experience & professional work How Carrie's own long-term healing around food and her body continues to shape the compassion and curiosity she brings to her work. The idea that our relationship with food and our bodies changes across the lifespan—and why "lifelong relationship management" matters more than perfection. Do you have to be "in recovery" to help? The pressures clinicians face when they're asked, "Are you in recovery?" and how that question can be loaded with judgment and assumptions. Why personal experience with a specific substance or behavior is not a prerequisite to being deeply effective as a helper. How Carrie talks with clients and families about her own history in a way that's honest, boundaried, and clinically useful. Rethinking 'denial' and harmful language Why words like "denial," "addict," "codependent," "chronic relapser," and "it's a slippery slope" can shut people down rather than open them up. A more curious approach: asking "What do you mean by that?" and unpacking the real story underneath labels. How language can either invite people into self-understanding—or reinforce shame, fear, and disconnection. Softening the disease model without minimizing the problem Nuanced ways to honor addiction as a serious, complex disorder without collapsing everything into a rigid disease frame. How fear (of overdose, loss, chaos, or death) drives a lot of rigid thinking in systems and professionals. Why behavior change is slow, non-linear, and rarely a straight line—and how accepting that can actually make care more effective. Relapse as an "old solution that once worked" Carrie's reframe of relapse as returning to an old behavior that, at one time, made sense and worked on some level. How naming the function of a behavior (soothing, numbing, regulating, connecting) opens the door to new, less harmful solutions. The difference between "You didn't want it enough" and "Your brain reached for an old strategy that once helped you survive." The Invitation to Change Approach (ITC) The core elements of ITC: Motivational interviewing–informed curiosity and ambivalence exploration. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based living. A deep commitment to self-compassion as a foundation for behavior change. Why ITC was originally developed for family members and then adapted for people with substance use concerns themselves. How the "wheel" of ITC lets people step in wherever they are—self-awareness, values, behavior strategies, or compassion—and build over time. Families, shame, and staying engaged without "tough love" Inviting family members to ask: "How does my loved one's behavior make sense?" instead of "What's wrong with them?" How this shift helps parents and partners move from fear and control into strategy, support, and skillful engagement. Concrete examples of how families can respond to return to use with curiosity, concern, and clearer communication instead of lectures or ultimatums. Codependency and other overused labels Why Carrie has never formally diagnosed anyone with "codependency." What often lives underneath that label: trauma histories, cultural norms, attachment dynamics, fear of loss, and learned survival strategies. How flattening all of that into "codependent" erases nuance and blocks meaningful change. Neurodivergence, trauma, and substance use/eating behaviors The high rates of PTSD and ADHD among people seeking help for substance use—and why that matters for treatment design. Carrie's reflection on her own undiagnosed ADHD and how it likely drove much of her earlier eating disorder behavior. How binges, purging, and substance use can function as powerful nervous system regulators, especially for neurodivergent and trauma-impacted brains. Why we need more ground-up, neurodivergent- and trauma-informed approaches that focus on emotion regulation, executive functioning, and skill-building. Self-compassion as a behavior change superpower Carrie's journey from skepticism ("this sounds too woo") to seeing self-compassion as essential, research-backed behavior-change work. How self-compassion reduces shame, helps people tolerate slow progress, and makes it safer to look honestly at their own behavior. Using both "tender" and "fierce" self-compassion to choose boundaries, seek support, and keep moving through discomfort. Reimagining 'expert' roles and community care Why Carrie is skeptical of rigid expert hierarchies in addiction treatment. Inviting families, community leaders, and lay helpers into the work through accessible tools like ITC groups and trainings. The power of giving non-clinicians simple, evidence-based language and frameworks so they can respond with compassion instead of panic or shame. About Dr. Carrie Wilkens Carrie Wilkens, PhD, is a psychologist with more than 25 years of experience in the practice and dissemination of evidence-based treatments for substance use and post-traumatic stress. She is the Co-President and CEO of CMC: Foundation for Change, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing evidence-based ideas and strategies to families, communities, and professionals supporting people struggling with substances. Carrie is a co-developer of the Invitation to Change (ITC) Approach, an accessible, skills-based framework that helps families stay engaged, reduce shame, and effectively support a loved one's behavior change. ITC is now used across the U.S. and internationally in groups, trainings, and community programs. She is co-author of the award-winning book Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change, which adapts the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) model for families, and co-author of The Beyond Addiction Workbook for Family and Friends, a practical, evidence-based guide for loved ones who want concrete tools to support change without sacrificing their own wellbeing. Carrie is also Co-Founder and Clinical Director of the Center for Motivation and Change (CMC), a group of clinicians providing evidence-based care in New York City, Long Island, Washington, DC, San Diego, and at CMC: Berkshires, a private residential program for adults.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy football playoffs. The hosts open by welcoming listeners to a fantasy-football playoff edition of the show and discussing their own playoff runs, then recap the previous week's high-scoring Thursday night game before previewing the upcoming Falcons-Buccaneers matchup. They note both teams are struggling, with Tampa Bay dealing with injuries to key receivers and Atlanta reeling despite switching to Kirk Cousins. They expect a lower-scoring divisional game and debate the spread and total, leaning slightly toward the Buccaneers and a modest over. They highlight key injuries, including Drake London being ruled out and uncertainty around Kyle Pitts, which could force heavier use of Bijan Robinson, though his rushing output is likely capped by Tampa Bay's strong run defense. They move into player props, backing Pitts' receiving yards based on past performance against Tampa Bay and projecting Bijan to hit receiving overs while struggling on the ground. They discuss touchdown props, including Tyler Allgeier's goal-line role and Buccaneers options such as Mike Evans, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker. Shifting to fantasy decisions, they debate the risks of starting a limited Mike Evans and agree that if he is active he must be used, while Cousins is framed as a desperation superflex play with limited upside. They explore deeper plays like Darnell Mooney due to Atlanta's depleted receiving corps and mention fringe tight end options like Payne Durham if Cade Otton sits. They transition into Week 15 flex questions, comparing several player pairs: they narrowly prefer Isaiah Likely over Harrison Bryant/Fannin Jr. due to the Bengals' extreme vulnerability to tight ends; they choose Devin Neal over Chuba Hubbard because Neal has clearer volume and goal-line opportunity; they pick Blake Corum over Devin Singletary citing Corum's red-zone role in the Rams' committee; they debate Terry McLaurin vs. RJ Harvey, ultimately favoring Harvey due to Washington's unstable offense; they lean Tyler Allgeier over Jordan Mason due to Allgeier's defined touchdown role; and they choose D'Andre Swift over Stefon Diggs because Swift remains consistently involved while Diggs has become unreliable despite a past revenge game. They close by discussing their own fantasy playoff scenarios, reflecting on recent player performances like Jalen Hurts and Matthew Stafford, teasing the upcoming Army-Navy game, and giving listeners their social handles before signing off.

We have an extra special guest host today on the Sean Spicer Show! Batya Ungar-Sargon, host of Batya! on News Nation is going to lead our Thursday panel for an amazing conversation on everything happening in Washington this week. President Trump's rally in Pennsylvania hammered home the upward turn in the U.S. economy, wages and job creation, but are Americans actually feeling a return in their buying power? One thing is for certain, he is reinvigorating the American workforce. Before President Trump took office, nearly all new jobs were going to migrants and illegals, now 100% of new job creations are going to American citizens. While jobs are being created and wages continue to go up, Americans are still overwhelmed with grocery bills, housing and healthcare costs. The Supreme Court is set to hear the case on birthright citizenship. The 14th amendment is at the root of the case, created to ensure children of slaves were guaranteed citizenship after the Civil War. Now, illegal immigrants enter the country just to have children and abuse the system by getting the rest of the family into the country. Billions of taxpayer money that was supposed to go to school food programs for children and social service programs have been stolen by Somali frauds. These fake NGOs instead went to purchase luxury homes and vehicles and in some cases routed overseas to terrorists. President Trump did not hold back on his thoughts about the fraudsters and Somali Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Will Republicans have a dynamic character like President Trump in 2028 or fade back to GOP business as usual. Our rockstar panel weighs in on it all... PLUS this week's winners and losers!

Beginning in the 1970s, a series of government agencies established to carry out the federal “war on crime” offered financial and ideological support to the fledgling feminist movement against sexual violence. These entities promoted the carceral tactics of policing, prosecution, and punishment as the only viable means of controlling rape, and they expected anti-rape organizers to embrace them. Yet Black women anti-rape organizers viewed police as a source of violence within their communities, not a solution to it. Between the Street and the State: Black Women's Anti-Rape Activism amid the War on Crime (U Pennsylvania, 2025) examines how Black anti-rape organizers critically engaged both the feminist movement against sexual violence and the federal War on Crime between 1974 and 1994. In Philadelphia, Washington, DC, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, and Atlanta, activists inflected Black women's longstanding tradition of community-based caring labor with the Black feminist condemnation of patriarchal and state violence. Their multifaceted and adaptable brand of anti-rape advocacy was premised on sustaining the survival of Black women and girls individually and Black communities more broadly. In this way, Black anti-rape activists countered the growing emphasis within the feminist movement on controlling rape through carceral collaborations. They acted subversively, redirecting state funds and state-funded research premised on rape control to projects that offered care to Black victims. In public education, social welfare, and public health, they instituted preventative education and emotional healing as modes of justice. At times, they outspokenly resisted carceral legislation that displaced their caring labor with punitive programs of rape control. Spotlighting Black anti-rape organizers' enduring commitment to care work shows that the cooptation of the feminist movement against sexual violence by law enforcement entities was never total. Between the Street and the State deepens our historical understanding of Black women's tradition of anti-rape activism by attending to how their tactics shifted in response to the political realignments of the post–civil rights era.

Is "Christian nationalism" just a scary label—or is it simply what happens when Christians take Christ's lordship over every area of life seriously? Kevin and Bill discuss the latest polling on Christian nationalism, expose the myth of "neutral" pluralism, and show why every law system rests on a god and a worldview. From Saudi Arabia to Samoa to Washington, D.C., they argue that nations either acknowledge the Triune God or drift into humanistic anarchy—and that declarations alone aren't enough without repentance, justice, and obedience to God's law.
La semana pasada Donald Trump sorprendió al anunciar el indulto al expresidente hondureño Juan Orlando Hernández, condenado a 45 años por narcotráfico. Se encargó de anunciarlo personalmente a través de Truth Social con una calurosa felicitación. Esto ocurrió dos días antes de las elecciones presidenciales en Honduras, que se celebraron el pasado día 30, lo que provocó cierto estupor entre los hondureños. Hernández, presidente del país entre 2014 y 2022, fue condenado el año pasado por un tribunal de Nueva York por colaborar con cárteles de la droga para introducir cientos de toneladas de cocaína en EEUU a cambio de sobornos millonarios. Honduras, en el corazón de la ruta centroamericana del narcotráfico, se transformó de este modo en tiempos de Hernández en un narcoestado. Las investigaciones de la DEA demostraron que recibió dinero en cooperación con familiares y altos cargos policiales para permitir el tránsito de drogas. No es la primera vez que sucede. El panameño Manuel Noriega y el guatemalteco Alfonso Portillo ya fueron juzgados y condenados en Estados Unidos hace años. El indulto de Hernández ha sido especialmente llamativo ya que se produjo en la recta final de la campaña electoral, una campaña en la que Trump manifestó su preferencia por uno de los candidatos, Tito Asfura, un conservador del Partido Nacional (el mismo de Hernández) y exalcalde de Tegucigalpa. Dijo de él que es “el único verdadero amigo de la Libertad en Honduras” y condicionó la ayuda estadounidense a su victoria. Durante su primer mandato Trump mantuvo una muy buena relación con Hernández, un político muy astuto que durante sus años en la presidencia se trabajó buenos contactos entre los políticos de Washington y los empresarios e inversores estadounidenses de California. A estos últimos les ofreció zonas especiales dentro del país que tendrían unas condiciones favorables para facilitar la inversión. Algunas se llegaron a poner el marcha, pero aquel esquema, denominado ZEDE, se interrumpió con la llegada de la izquierdista Xiomara Castro al poder en 2022. La investigación sobre las actividades ilícitas de Hernández había comenzado años antes, en la época de Obama, y continuó con Trump. Extraditado en 2022 tras dejar el poder, cumplía su condena en un penal de Virginia Occidental. El indulto, gestado en Mar-a-Lago, ha sido el resultado final de una campaña muy intensa de cabildeo que encabezó Roger Stone, el famoso consultor político y confidente personal de Trump. Stone persuadió al presidente de que sería a un golpe para Castro y mejoraría la suerte de los inversores estadounidenses en Honduras. El hecho es que Hernández ya era muy impopular en Honduras y allí no ha terminado de entenderse. Tampoco en Estados Unidos, donde muchos ven en esto una contradicción ya que, por un lado, está sitiando a Maduro tras acusarle de narcotráfico, mientras que, por otro, indulta a un narcotraficante condenado. Todo en medio de unas elecciones que están resultando mucho más difíciles y divisivas de lo que se esperaba.

Donald Trump went off the rails this week on Truth Social by suggesting that anyone reporting on his failing mental and physical health was committing treason. We have never in the history of this country seen a President attack our Freedom of Speech the way that Trump has, and his suggestion is not just a passing thought - his administration would gladly lock all of us up for daring to criticize or question their cult leader. Donald Trump doesn't plan on taking responsibility for any of the bad things that he's done since taking office, and instead he's going to continue blaming all of his problems on President Biden. Aides have reportedly been begging him to stop doing this, but their pleas are falling on deaf ears. Trump's ego, narcissism, and possible dementia all prevent him from being able to own up to the fact that he's not good at this job, so he'll keep trying to convince a skeptic public that everything he does is somehow Biden's fault. Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed a bill into law this week that makes it easier for Illinois residents to sue federal agents - including ICE - if their rights have been violated. This is a groundbreaking law that will protect the citizens of Pritzker's state, while also sticking it to the Trump administration and their unlawful actions. This is what real leadership looks like, and Democrats across the country need to be taking notes on what Pritzker is doing. Republicans in Washington are panicking as the cost of health insurance is set to rise in January, and after 15 years of promising us that they'd release their healthcare alternative to Obamacare at any given moment, they still have nothing to show for it. But this week they unveiled their "concepts of a plan", and what they're proposing to do is actually going to INCREASE the cost of healthcare for millions of people, mostly lower-income Americans. Earlier this month, Donald Trump signed an order declaring that certain files related to the Capitol Riot were covered by executive privilege and could not be viewed by anyone outside of the administration. This information came out in a court filing this week, where DOJ lawyers told the courts that they can't release the documents that were requested by a group of police officers who are suing after being injured in the riot. Trump is hiding the truth from the public, just like he is doing with the Epstein files and Jack Smith's final report. The Department of Homeland Security under the guidance of Donald Trump has instituted a new policy where they are charging people a $5,000 "apprehension fee" for being caught by ICE. This penalty is on top of all of the other usual fines and penalties that migrants can be hit with, except with one important difference: The new policy applies to children as young as 14-years old, too. They are charging children thousands of dollars for being rounded up by Trump's gestapo forces.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!
