We talk all the time. I want to encourage you to check them out. Augusta, precious metals dot com. They're fantastic. All right, mister Pedro sir. Why don't we take some calls here? Let me. Mark and Tyler, Texas, WBA, wbap. How are you, my friend? Thank you. So much. I appreciate that. I'm great. I have a couple of things. I want to mention less Friday and ramp. All right. I think AG knew before that before they rated Trump that Biden had these documents. And that's why they Trump. I think he knew and that's the only way to get Biden up to don't trust key either one of them. Secondly, because back in March, to put all the news stories together, so I did that and I came up with something that nobody's really mentioned. The first report we had of China's contribution to the Penn Biden saying it was 54 million. Subsequently, we found out that it was 67 million for all B, that's a difference of 20%. I wonder when they're going to figure out where the other 20%. Here's the deal. They need the house is going to have to try and do this on their own. But they needed a criminal investigation. Of all the Chinese avenues into the Biden crime family. All the monies that gone into the combined crime family. They quit quote pros that took place, they had plenty of witnesses, they had plenty of evidence. It's easy enough, go to the Treasury Department, get all the wires that took place, go to the banks or the monies that were moved, you need to look at the Biden properties, how were they paid for, including the rent. We're not sure who's paid rent, which way. On the Biden Wilmington family, Wilmington house, there's so many things tangible. Pieces of information that can be tracked down. And they sit on their asses at the FBI, they sit on their asses, the prosecutors at the Department of Justice, they don't want to look. You know why they don't want to look, Mark? Because they know this guy is dirty. And they know this guy has bought and paid for. That's why they don't want to look. Thank you for your call, my friend. Matt's got a Jerry. Passaic New Jersey, wonderful area. I go all the time. The great WABC go right ahead. I've spoken to a lot. You know what I think I think looking at the Senate. Callers today, the a lot callers. It is which should be defeated like Boseman. I think he's up and Arkansas. And I'm keeping an eye on Ted bud. Ten bun came on the program. He was a big conservative. He was a conservative in the house, I'm not hearing a lot from him. He was not outspoken in any kind of opposition to McConnell. I'm not saying that he has already what that is already lost. I'm just saying, I'm not hearing a lot about this guy. So that's something I want to keep focus on. Go ahead. Well, Boseman, we need someone to develop a Boseman Arkansas and another good candidate because McConnell is up would be James comb of over there. Chairman over in the house. All right, sir, thank you for your call. McConnell's not up for four years. So I can't spend the entirety of this show working out primary situations for guys are up in 6 years and four years. Let's continue, shall we? Let's go to PEEP. Ocala, Florida, the great W S ky. How are you? I'm fine, Mark, how are you? It's a pleasure to speak with you again, sir. Thank you. First of all, I'd like to thank you for all that you do and there are many people that you have awakened across this great land and I want to thank you for that. Thank you. The reason I'm calling is because you were speaking before about having our language co opted in our words changed. Well, what I think we need to do as conservatives is take back some of our own language. I am not a male assigned at birth. I am a natural male. Every opportunity I get to fill out a form in the doctor's office or for insurance or anything like that, I check the box that says mail and I write natural above it in capital letters or next to it. And I implore everyone in your listening audience. Good idea to do this. And when people ask you what your pronouns are, you say my pronouns are the normal ones used in the English language. I was asked that once you know what I said, don't ask me such a dumb ass question. That's what I said. It's very true, sir. But if we say that we use the language that they try to use against us and we say that, oh, my pronouns are the normal ones. They're going to say, oh, so you mean we're abnormal? Well, you know, you take it as you will, but the ones normally used in the English language are the ones that I go by. You're right. All right, Pete, take care of yourself, my friend. We'll be right back. Months

"Know, the Bank of England is predicting that we're going to have 13% inflation in October that they wanted something that matches the cost of living that their fears in. Tell us what kind of disruption this will cause. And which areas of the economy will be affected. Felix saw is the country's busiest port. It's kind of unclear as to just how much disruption this is going to cause. It's not a just in time port. There's a great deal of stock still left at the port. I think logistics UK, they're the transport body has said it's not expecting massive disruption. So there's not panic yet, but if the strikes continue after this, it did a period and that might change. It's just one of many strikes we've just had and strikes that are possibly coming up. And the country is facing energy price hikes plus a new prime minister in September. It does feel like the country is in for a difficult time, right? You often hear about a winter of discontent, but we're sort of in the middle of a summer of discontent as it stands. So you've got rail workers on strike, but you've got royal mail workers head to walk out, teachers potentially going on strikes straight, perhaps even nurses. For the new prime minister, this is a party leadership contest that has been played out with a very specific group of people at the moment. I don't know whether both of their tones may become more conciliatory when they take office. They both talked about the need for some peer strength because they're concerned that inflation busting pay rises might lead to the kind of wage price spiral that we saw in the 1970s, which is also a risk when you consider that the country is likely to enter a recession a recession which is three quarters long. It's a very difficult picture for whoever takes office. That's Rachel, we are mouth, deputy political editor of the new statesman. On the latest strike to hit the UK this summer. You're listening to NewsHour from the BBC. I'm Audrey Brown. President Gustavo Petro of Colombia has told the military to prepare to become an army of peace after removing a major obstacle to negotiations with the last act of guerrilla group, the ELN. Speaking at a cadet academy in front of newly appointed military leaders, mister Pedro said troops had to switch their focus to threats to national sovereignty from abroad, including from drug trafficking gangs. He said the Colombian people wanted to see a change in the role of the military. If we want peace, it will not come through unlawfulness or guns. What makes it possible to reach peace is unity between the military and its people. That's what we have to reach because it has been broken in many parts of the country. Joining us now is Megan Janet ski who's a freelance journalist based in Colombia. Welcome to NewsHour, Megan. Just tell us more about this announcement. How significant is it? Yeah, absolutely. So Gustavo Petro is Columbia's first leftist leader and also an ex insurgent who went through his own peace process a long time ago and basically this announcement could, you know, if Columbia and its biggest Korea group, the national Liberation Army, were to sign peace accords. It could be this new president's legacy. And in a country that's struggled with armed conflict for decades and is facing deepening conflict right now. It could shift a lot of the regional dynamics and lower violence in a lot of parts of the country that are being torn by currently. There have been numerous attempts at the peace deal with the ELN, so how confident are the people of Colombia that this time it will be successful. You know, will people are skeptical also because you have to remember that this is, again, a country torn by decades of conflict and a lot of people have been victimized by, if not this guy than other armed groups. So there's always a deep distrust of our groups. And then this piece talk looks to have a bit more potential than past conservative governments. Simply because a lot of these past governments have been a lot of about force against these gurias and fighting this war. And this is a president that is promising to usher in an era of quote unquote total peace. So it's generating more trust likely with these gurias that are going to be negotiating. So it could significantly shift shift things. Yeah, it's a big deal, I think. You've been on the border of Colombia and Venezuela where the alien have been active. So what are people there been telling you? Yeah, I mean, this is the place that essentially the hub for the ELN, the very, very important area in which they use to escape the grasp of Colombian authorities. And a lot of people have been terrorized by this group and they're just hoping that there's a ceasefire soon and that a peace pack is really signed because it could literally mean life or death for them and their families. Now that have been peace deals with other groups, how successful have they been, is there a blueprint that's being followed? Yes, I mean, there have been various negotiations. The most recent piece packed we've seen is with the Colombian guria group the farc in 2016. In largely due to failures in government implementation, it has been a very troubled process. And that's another reason why perhaps the ELN would walk with a bit more skepticism is Columbia has an entirely followed through with their promises, but because we again have this different kind of leader, there might be more of a generated trust that you wouldn't see otherwise. But previous previous accords have been a mix of success. But the most recent one is even struggling to move forward. It's actually a large campaign promise of petros is to implement the previous piece accords. So he's kind of juggling these two different deals with these groups. Thank you very much. That's Megan Janet ski, a freelance journalist based in Colombia. Now Singapore's prime minister said the country will end its ban on sex between men, but he also said it will take steps to defend the institution of marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Lee San lung said Singapore society was becoming more accepting of gay people and the British colonial era law was now out of date. The legal ban on sex between men, while not enforced, has long been criticized by LGBT activists, although many more conservative citizens still support it. Joining us now from New York is Jane Barry Moran director of research and program strategy at out leadership. She's a leading voice in advocating for pathways to success for LGBT individuals in the workplace. Welcome

"Used and I would say abused for the purposes of exercising social power to silence debate. So we ask is cancel culture toxic. All this and more coming up unintelligent squared U.S.. First, the news. Hello, I'm Eileen McHugh with the BBC News. The security forces in Somalia say they have ended a 30 hour siege of the hayat hotel in the capital Mogadishu, there has been no independent verification, but the building had been targeted by heavy weapons and has been largely destroyed. The authorities say all those who remained inside have been killed. The militant group Al shabab says some of its fighters managed to escape is not yet known how many people died during the siege, witnesses say at least 20. Among the reported victims is the hotel zone, is the first major assault by Al shabaab in Mogadishu since the new president took office in May. The BBC's Beverly O Chiang says the militant group is strong. Maintains a lot of presence in the southern and the central regions. They have a stronghold in jail recently there were showing off a hospital that they launched. They have public campaigns. So it's not just about the military strength because they do continuously recruit. It's also about their ideological entrenchment, but also because of lack of government presence in vast parts of central and southern Somalia. Colombia's new left wing president Gustavo Petro has suspended orders to capture and extradite the leaders of a country's last active guerrilla group the ELN. The move is likely to pave the way for official peace talks to resume in the Cuban capital Havana, will Leonardo reports. Gustavo Petro came to power this month promising to bring total peace to Colombia, which has been racked by internal conflict with leftist guerrilla groups for decades. The national Liberation Army or ELN is the last major force standing in the way with hundreds of fighters still believed to be active. Peace talks with a former Colombian government ended in 2019 when a car bomb went off outside a police academy in the capital of Bogotá. Subsequent orders to capture an extradite heel and leaders negotiating in Cuba were rejected by the Havana authorities. Mister Pedro has now dropped these in a gesture that will allow talks to assume. He's also signaled an overhaul of how Colombia deals with illegal drugs, a main income source for the rebels describing the war on drugs as a failure. The body of the former Angolan leader Jose Eduardo santosh has arrived back in Angola after his death in Spain last month.

New York health department officials have confirmed the state's first known case of monkeypox in a person under 18, a new report on the outbreak shows the virus was detected in the child or teen living outside of New York City, no other information about the case was released. Children in other states, including Texas, California, Florida and Maine have also contracted monkeypox, which primarily spreads through skin to skin contact. New York leads the nation in monkeypox cases with just over 2700 confirmed infections to date, the vast majority of those have been reported in New York City. An additional 130 migrants arrived in New York City on buses from Texas, Wednesday, but immigration experts say if there's a silver lining in the chaotic situation for the newcomers, it is their improved chances of receiving asylum and staying in the country. Austin coker is an assistant professor at Syracuse university's transactional records access clearinghouse. He says 82% of asylum applications in New York are approved compared to just 17% in Houston and 33% in Dallas. Texas governor Abbott is actually sending asylum seekers to a court where they'll actually much more likely to be successful and much more likely to stay in the country.

You are listening to the BBC World Service, this is NewsHour coming to live from London with James Kamara Sami. In the past hour, political change has officially come to Colombia as a Latin American country's first ever left wing president Gustavo Petro has been sworn into office. The former mayor of Bogotá, a guerrilla fighter in his early years, has promised to bring tranquility and peace to a country that still dealing with the aftermath of 5 decades of civil conflict. Together with francia Marquez's vice president the first woman of African descent in that position, mister Pedro has promised radical change, since his election in June he's been trying to build a broad congressional coalition to help him pass wide ranging economic and land reforms. I'll Sergio Guzman is director of Columbia risk analysis. It's a political risk consulting firm based in the Colombian capital Bogotá and I asked him what kind of expectations the new president was facing. Since the campaign, a very broad and ambitious set of reforms, he wants to end oil exploration, accelerate the energy transition significantly extends subsidies for low income people. He even said he wanted to make the government the employer of land reform. He wants to enact land reform. He wants to enact tax reform. And it's very unlikely that all of those things will pass through. But he's been trying to get this coalition, hasn't he in Congress to help him pass as much of that as he possibly can. Yes, but there's a big Austria skin there, because in Colombia, if political parties are either considered to be opposition or independent, nobody who's affiliated with that political party can have a post in government. And so I believe there's a reason for that that has a lot to do with a self interest of these parties to maintain bureaucratic positions in government. But when it comes to voting in Congress, they will probably look at many of petrus ambitious reforms with dismay. And it's very likely that they will be significantly curved. Is it just political or are they vested interest there that he has to take on and might find that quite a mountain to climb? Yes, and we've already begin seeing it this week earlier, the controller general was elected. And of course the controller general is the person who has to oversee how the government spends its money. And the administration of Gustav Petro had a selected candidate for this position, but it was these independent parties, some of whom had called to be part of the government coalition who selected another personal together. So we're already beginning to see friction within that government coalition. And what are the symbolism of him and of course his deputy taking over the first woman of African descent who will be in that position? I mean, how much difference is that going to make for the country beyond the policies? Oh, the symbolism is extraordinary James. I think one of the things that this government has been able to transmit is that finally there's a government in Colombia that looks like the people it governs. And that's not a small feat. Even though all our presidents have been male, only this is the second vice president who's a female in the first ever publicly elected official at that level who's of African descent. And so I do think that this administration will be high antibiotic gestures, petros already appointed an African Colombian ambassador to the U.S.. He's also appointed an indigenous person as ambassador to the UN. He's also appointed an indigenous person as director of the land restitution agency. So there will be a very high symbolic measure of Gustavo Petro's first 100 days. Thereafter, we'll see. Sergio Guzman of Colombia risk analysis speaking to me from Bogotá. Monsoon rains have created havoc across Pakistan, killing more than 550 people over the past 6 months, thousands of homes have been either partly or completely destroyed, so have roads and bridges.

"For the monitor. In this story about a St. Louis bakery, a criminal background doesn't define you. A reporter finds redemption and hope, amid the measuring cups. After 15 years in prison, Eric satterfield had two options for work experience on his resume. Jobs before prison or jobs in prison. When you come out of prison, you think everybody is thinking about why I went to prison. And that's not really true. Says mister satterfield. His prison time held no stigma for the nonprofit laughing bear bakery, which only hires people with criminal records to help them get a solid footing in the workforce. A year the bakery helped him transition into a full-time job at a manufacturing center. Being able to imagine a new self is key to successful reentry. Explains Naomi an associate Professor of criminology law and society at the University of California Irvine. And it requires spaces like the bakery where returning citizens are not always having to explain themselves in terms of their past mistakes, she says. Founder kalen mcallister hatched the laughing bear bakery idea during a career as a prison chaplain, when she realized counseling inside prison walls was only a partial solution. Change was needed outside, too. When she retired, she explains, on my way out the door, I said, I'm going to do something to solve this. This story was reported by Tara adikari and St. Louis for the monitor. Now cometary from the monitors editorial board on Columbia's presidential election. If Gustavo Pedro becomes president of Colombia in our election later this month or in a June runoff as opinion polls suggest. His rise would be relevant far beyond his politics or within the region's geographic boundaries. His biography holds a lesson for societies on how to disarm insurgencies and terrorist movements through reconciliation and political accommodation. In his youth, mister Pedro was active in Colombia's 19th of April movement or M 19, a faction that sought democratic change through guerrilla tactics in the 1970s and 1980s. The group morphed him to a political party following the 1990 peace accord with the government. Several of its members went on to impact political careers. Mister Pedro a trained economist served two terms as mayor of the capital. Columbia replicated its model in the 2016 agreement that ended a 52 year war with another guerrilla faction known by its Spanish acronym, farc. The deal guaranteed political conclusion for disarmament. In one form or another, similar peacemaking dialogs are underway in communities along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, and in countries battling Islamist groups and.
