  • Resumen

  • Timestamps:Timestamp: (3:32). A quick reminder on why I do this show each week. And why I talk about foreign policy as the primary subject.Timestamp: (14:31). Trump hits the 100-day mark, and The Economist paints a dark picture of the Administration’s opening act.Timestamp: (25:05). As a country, we fumbled the ball on handling China. And now they have the upper hand, and they’re going to seriously embarrass us.Timestamp: (40:06). The Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has survived another week, and he’s perhaps in the clear for now.Timestamp: (43:33). Canada selects a new leader, who is defiant in the face of Trump’s claims to making Canada a 51st state. Polls show most Americans are defiant on this issue, as well.Timestamp: (49:39). Conservatives are growing tired of President Trump’s weakness toward Ukraine, and has a mineral deal been signed between the United States and Ukraine?Timestamp: (55:56). Ukrainian air power is starting to take a real toll on the Russians… Let’s talk about it.Timestamp: (1:00:29). Let me end by sharing some spiritual encouragement.Hi everyone! Thank you for being here. If you’re new to the show, let me say this. Each week, I cover hot spots and critical threats that might affect our country, as well as keep you informed about our military. I end each show by sharing some verses from the Bible (without being too pushy). My hope is you end each show better informed, less worried, and more optimistic (about both our country and your life). Also, huge shout out to those of you whose paid subscriptions make it possible for me to devote time and resources to researching and compiling the news each week.

Will he succeed? from The Economist.Eventually, bad polls will impinge on elected officials. America is a federal system that is too big and has too many rival centers of power to become Hungary (whose population is about the same as New Jersey’s). Congress, too, could become a problem for Mr Trump. Republicans have a thin majority in the House and were able to pass a budget framework only because a couple of Democratic representatives had died. Betting markets give Democrats more than an 80% chance of winning back the House next year. Control would enable the Democrats to frustrate Mr Trump, even if he continued to govern by executive order. In the Senate, Republicans are seven votes short of the 60 needed to avoid a filibuster. Those constraints are real.The last source of resistance is the courts. The law moves slowly, but the Supreme Court has already handed down a 9-0 ruling in the case of a man wrongly deported to El Salvador. As with other institutions, the courts have less to fear from the defiance of an unpopular president. The administration may yet lose cases on tariffs, on the president’s ability to fire officials and close agencies without congressional backing, and on Mr Trump’s scattergun use of break-glass emergency provisos such as the Alien Enemies Act. If that happens, his theory of executive power will be discredited.Even on the most optimistic reading of the MAGA revolution, Mr Trump has already done lasting harm to America’s institutions, alliances and moral standing. And if he is thwarted by investors, voters or the courts, he is liable to lash out against institutions with even greater ferocity. Using the newly politicised Department of Justice, he may persecute his opponents and stir up the fear and conflict that give him licence to operate. Abroad, he could cause alliance-wrecking provocations in, say, Greenland or Panama. There is no going back to the way America was 100 days ago. Only 1,361 days left.China, Japan, South Korea will jointly respond to US tariffsHainan Island incidentLet me end by sharing some spiritual encouragement for you all out there.As you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to...
