Onstage at the Seoul Defense Dialogue, Philippine Secretary of National Defense Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro was taking a question about Chinese coercion in the South China Sea when a forum staffer handed him a note, handwritten on hotel stationery, from China's delegation. He decided to read it out loud, dismantling it line by line, and then said he would keep it as “a memento of how desperate China is.” That clip rocketed around the world. Secretary Teodoro joins co-hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso to explain that the note was one move in a pattern he has watched across five regional forums: off-topic “alternative lectures” delivered instead of questions, people posing as journalists trying to make him lose his temper on camera, and delegations that avoid the panels they cannot control. His read is an active attempt “to make a more Sinocentric world,” and he points to Palau as another example of another country being told it's too small to object. On Beijing's insults, Teodoro is blunt. China's foreign affairs ministry berated him and other Filipino officials who push back for being “a handful of grandstanding buffoons”, though its official English-language translation softened the phrase to “certain individuals”. His verdict: “It's duplicity, plain and simple. That's what they are. Not as a people, mind you, but as a Party”. He traces the method to Mao's destruction of Peng Dehuai and Xi's purge of more than 200 senior figures, describing “muscle behind the cotton cladding.”Asked whether any channel exists to cool an incident at sea, Teodoro reveals he shut his department's hotline with Beijing down: the calls became attempts to co-opt his people, with “neither discipline nor structure.” Asked what a Code of Conduct would need to be worth signing, his answer runs six words. Teodoro calls Chinese fuel and fertilizer shipments a “carefully laid down trap of dependence to make it look as kindness,” designed to produce “some kind of Stockholm Syndrome.” He walks through the illegal steel-plant network his department has raided: donated obsolete furnaces, radioactive scrap, substandard structural steel, a self-admitted fake Filipino operator, and a thread running to Singapore's largest money-laundering case. He responds to the Chinese university report claiming the Batanes Islands belong to China and explains why Chinese instructors teaching Filipino children matter more than the paper did. Plus, what Ukraine taught him (“reserves, reserves, reserves”), why he cannot imagine a Taiwan conflict that spares a country 90 kilometers away with 200,000 citizens working there, why the Philippines is talking about an expeditionary navy by 2050, the gap in Philippine espionage law he wants closed, and how he handles it when others float his name as a future president. Secretary Teodoro's bottom line: peace “is not a free dividend. It is purchased, it is bought, and it is enforced.”Follow Sec.

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 369 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm talking about why workplace boundaries often collapse—not because we don't know what to say, but because of what happens inside us after we say it. Knowing how to set a boundary and being able to stay with it through discomfort are two completely different skills.I explore the sequence that can happen when we set a boundary: external pressure, an internal reaction such as guilt, fear, or self-doubt, and finally the urge to back down in order to make the discomfort go away. I also share a personal experience from my work life that helped me understand how easily I could abandon what I knew about my own capacity when someone else needed something from me.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why another person's disappointment or pushback can feel like relational dangerHow boundary collapse can provide immediate relief while weakening self-trust over timeThe difference between responding to new information and changing your decision simply to make discomfort stopA practical process of pausing, orienting yourself to the present, and naming what is trueHow to identify what is yours, what isn't yours, what support you need, and the next smallest safe actionThis episode is a reminder that you don't have to become comfortable with someone else's disappointment before you can hold a boundary. The goal isn't to guarantee that another person will like your boundary—it's to remain present long enough to make a conscious decision instead of letting anxiety make the decision for you.Because a boundary isn't only the words you say to another person. It also includes what you do inside yourself after you say it. You don't break a boundary because you're weak; sometimes it simply doesn't yet feel safe inside you to hold it. And that safety can be built.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

One of the most important things we can teach children early in life is how to stand up for themselves without becoming aggressive or disrespectful. Kids need to understand that being kind does not mean allowing someone to bully, intimidate, or take advantage of them. Teaching children to speak up, set boundaries, and walk away from negative situations can give them confidence that carries into adulthood.Children should learn that they don't have to be afraid of someone simply because that person is louder, older, more experienced, or has a stronger personality. Sometimes the strongest response isn't fighting back—it's confidently saying, “Stop,” removing yourself from the situation, and getting a trusted adult when necessary.It's also important to teach children to recognize who they spend time around. Not every child is a bad influence, but some children may have been exposed to behaviors, language, or situations that your child isn't ready to handle. Parents should encourage their children to make friends who respect them, support them, and bring out the best in them.We can't protect our children from every difficult person they will encounter. Eventually, they'll have to navigate friendships, school, work, relationships, and the world on their own. That's why the goal isn't to raise children who are scared of people; it's to raise children who understand their worth and know when to stand their ground.Teach them to be respectful, but teach them to have boundaries. Teach them to be confident, but not arrogant. Teach them that walking away isn't weakness. Sometimes walking away is the smartest and strongest decision they can make.The earlier we give children these tools, the better prepared they'll be to handle pressure, intimidation, bullying, and negative influences while still remaining true to who they are.

Todd returns to the Lindsay Clancy mistrial after three jurors publicly criticized the lone holdout who refused to find her not criminally responsible for killing her children. Drawing on his own experience serving on a jury, he defends the role of independent judgment, reasonable doubt, and unanimous verdicts while questioning the foreperson's apparent rush to complete acquittal forms. Todd argues that professional expertise inside the jury room is not itself evidence, challenges the claim that medication or expert opinion must settle the question of personal responsibility, and warns against surrendering critical thought to doctors, nurses, technocrats, or any other authority.

Broadcom (AVGO) faces one obvious headwind in having Nvidia (NVDA) as a main competitor, says Vance Howard, though he's "cautiously optimistic" in its growth story. He says the bullishness depends on the call with leadership and expectations for custom AI chip revenue outlook. Mike Binger adds that there's opportunity for Broadcom due to the stock's valuation compression while still bolstering impressive earnings growth. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Hear "American Girl" or "Born in the U.S.A." and, like it or not, chances are you begin to hum along. The soundtrack of grocery stores, pool halls, bowling alleys, flea markets, chain restaurants, drug stores, and political rallies--heartland rock, while beloved by some and derided by others, is inescapable even today. As rollicking as the music it describes, acclaimed music critic Erin Osmon's Won't Back Down: Heartland Rock and the Fight for America (W. W. Norton & Company, 2026) tells the story of the origins, chart-topping development, and tangled legacy of heartland rock, the music that ruled the airwaves of the 1980s and remains instantly recognizable to millions. Spinning an entertaining and eye-opening account, Osmon delves into the complicated afterlife of heartland rock's classic albums and songs, including Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run," Bob Seger's "Against the Wind," John Mellencamp's "Small Town," and Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." She demonstrates the centrality of often-overlooked women like Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt, and Lucinda Williams--explaining how some of the most popular music of the time was made beyond its white-male stereotypes. She traces the genre's connections to country and Americana, and reveals how legendary figures like Prince were inspired by and expanded heartland rock. And she shows how its success revitalized the careers of figures like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Through it all, she explores the '80s cultural developments that fostered the genre--such as the rise of MTV and the switch to CDs--and argues that the music played a vital role in opposition to '80s conservatism and in support of LGBTQ rights, labor issues, and the environmental movement. A fair-minded critic with an ear for a great behind-the-scenes story, Osmon makes clear that at its best, heartland rock connected with millions of overlooked people longing to be heard. Erin Osmon is a music journalist, critic, and author of books on John Prine and Jason Molina. Her writing appears in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Rolling Stone, and others.

Stories from India: What if every pilgrim brought back the waste they left behind? During the recent Kedarnath pilgrimage, thousands of devotees were joined by an unusual clean-up effort led by Pradeep Sangwan. Through his CarryMeBack campaign, he encouraged pilgrims to collect at least 2.5 kilograms of waste from the Kedarnath trail and carry it back to the base. According to Pradeep, the campaign helped bring around 10 tonnes of waste down from the mountain, highlighting a growing push to protect the Himalayan environment.

Tully Kennedy is a bassist, writer and producer. He has been Jason Aldean's bassist for over 25 years and co-wrote numerous hits, including the Billboard #1 "Try That in a Small Town". Tully grew up in the small town of Redford in upstate New York. He received his first CMA Triple Play Award, for the Jason Aldean hits that reached #1 in a 12-month span: “Blame It On You”, “Trouble With A Heartbreak”, and “If I Didn't Love You” (with Carrie Underwood). He was onstage with Jason Aldean and his other band members in 2017 in Las Vegas when a mass shooter opened fire on the band and about 22,000 audience members. More than 50 people died and hundreds were injured. A bullet barely missed Tully, hitting and lodging itself in his bass guitar. The day after the Vegas shooting, Tom Petty died. Five days later, Jason Aldean and the band did the cold open for "Saturday Night Live", covering and recording the Petty song "I Won't Back Down". Tully and his "Try That in a Small Town" co-writers have a podcast by the same name where they interview guests and discuss music, ideas, politics, and culture.

Pete Alonso's Hall of Fame future sparks a fascinating Mets debate, as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber wonder whether enough success in Baltimore could eventually make Alonso more closely associated with the Orioles than the Mets. Evan argues that reaching 500 home runs would likely be necessary to put Alonso on a Cooperstown path, with postseason success potentially influencing which team defines his legacy. The Yankees also face a looming roster crunch with Cody Bellinger nearing a return, and Evan insists Spencer Jones cannot be the player sent down after his recent surge. They also discuss Anthony Volpe's move to second base, the possibility of catching Aaron Judge on a minor-league rehab assignment, and Evan's mission to land the Howie Rose retirement-day Mets giveaway.

Democrats are facing a growing problem: their base is warming to socialism while the broader electorate remains skeptical. Tonight we break down Hakeem Jeffries rejecting the DSA agenda, AOC walking back old woke rhetoric, Mamdani doubling down, Gretchen Whitmer giving Trump credit for delivering for Michigan, and a Seattle recall effort that could test progressive governance. Plus, our back-to-school segment asks a bigger question about parenting, standards, and what kids are learning before they ever enter the classroom.#Democrats #Socialism #Mamdani #AOC #HakeemJeffries #GretchenWhitmer #Trump #DSA #SeattlePolitics #PoliticalNews #ConservativeNews

This week, hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot talk with author Erin Osmon about her new book on "heartland rock." She argues that artists like John Mellencamp and Tom Petty filled stadiums in the 1980s, but also pushed back against the politics of the Reagan era. The hosts also pay tribute to Irish troubadour Glen Hansard.Join our Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/3sivr9TBecome a member on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3slWZvcSign up for our newsletter: https://bit.ly/4frcVZoMake a donation via PayPal: https://bit.ly/3dmt9lUSend us a Voice Memo: Desktop: bit.ly/2RyD5Ah Mobile: sayhi.chat/soundops Featured Songs:Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, "I Won't Back Down," Full Moon Fever, MCA, 1989The Beatles, "With a Little Help from My Friends," Sgt.

Pearl Jam kicked off their 2023 tour in St. Paul, Minnesota, a place that they hadn't played in nine years. Many people will remember the 2014 show for having unfortunate timing being sandwiched in between legendary full album shows that took place in Moline and Milwaukee, but Minnesota has had a great history with this band and these first two shows are proof that there's no lack of big moments taking place in the Twin Cities. After a few very welcome surprises on night one, night two was set up to have big shoes to fill, and we'll break it all down here in this episode. This show is filled with great moments, and as Ed would state, the theme of the night would revolve around friends. They had plenty of friends in the crowd as the Minnesotans brought their A-game singing loudly on songs like Pendulum, Daughter, Corduroy and a very heartfelt tribute for I Won't Back Down. This show is also a rare "touch 'em all" show where all eleven studio albums out at that time were represented on the setlist, including some that rarely get busted out like Nothing As It Seems, Severed Hand and what will likely be the final appearance of Take The Long Way. But when in Minnesota, there's no better way to play up to the local crowd than to pay tribute to their most prized hometown artist - Prince. Along with the full rundown of the show, we will spend time eulogizing the late Glen Hansard and discuss his impact on the Pearl Jam community as well as the entire music community as a whole.

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with Jason P. Woodbury. This week on the show, we welcome Nashville-based music journalist, critic and author Erin Osmon, to discuss her tremendous book, Won't Back Down: Heartland Rock and the Fight for America, which chronicles how heartland rock, typified by artists like Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, Bob Seger, and more, brought a populist, Americana-inspired sound to the airwaves of the radio and MTV. Along the way, Osmon shines a light on lesser heralded artists in the heartland canon, including Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, and Tracy Chapman, explores the impact of the shift from vinyl and tape to compact discs, the ubiquity of synthesizer technology, and the progressive undercurrent that propels this music.  Osmon's writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times, and she's the author of a 33 ⅓ book on John Prine and Jason Molina: Riding with the Ghost. With Won't Back Down, she traces the origins of heartland rock and its influence on artists like The War on Drugs and The Hold Steady, and best of all, offers deep insight into the complex characters of its most notable figures. Especially intriguing is the Indiana-born Osmon's focus on fellow Hoosier John “Cougar” Mellencamp, who emerges as one of the most fascinating characters, a hothead with a leftist heart and punk rock verve.  This year marks the 250th birthday of America, and this conversation was taped this conversation just a few days before the 4th of July. We haven't been feeling all that patriotic—maybe it has something to do with the fascists governing our country and their endless commitment to foreign wars and environmental destruction—but Osmon's book reminds us that this country has at its core something more noble, some promise that has not been stamped out just yet. As the Boss once sang: “Everything dies, baby, that's a fact/But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.”  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The John Harbaugh debate reaches another level. Craig Carton doubles down on his controversial take that Giants fans are overrating their new head coach, while Chris McMonigle passionately defends Harbaugh's winning résumé.

This hour, Scoot talks about how the war between the City of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana is ramping up. White House Border Czar Tom Homan announced that ICE instituted a new mandatory directive requiring body-worn cameras during vehicle stops and launched internal reviews of officer vetting and tactics following recent fatal agency shootings. The public-facing death count for Operation Epic Fury (the U.S. military campaign in Iran) dropped from 18 to 14 because the Pentagon reorganized its tracking database, moving four recent troop deaths into a brand-new casualty category.

The hype has faded... Now comes the big question. After months of relentless selling, many space stocks have fallen sharply from their highs. The excitement surrounding commercial space, satellite communications, launch providers, and the blockbuster SpaceX IPO has cooled dramatically, leaving investors wondering: Is this the buying opportunity everyone's been waiting for... or is there still more downside ahead? In today's episode, we answer a viewer question by taking a deep dive into the space sector and separating the companies with real long-term potential from those that may have simply ridden the hype train too far. We'll discuss: Why space stocks have sold off so aggressively Whether valuations are finally becoming attractive How SpaceX's public debut has changed the competitive landscape Which factors could drive the sector's next major move How I would approach investing in the space economy today Because great industries don't always produce great investments... Price still matters. We'll also update the TraderMerlin trade sheet with a new position in the DRAM sector, discussing why memory chips have become one of the hottest areas of the semiconductor market. With AI demand exploding and data centers requiring enormous amounts of high-bandwidth memory, is this the beginning of another major opportunity? I'll break down: Why I'm looking at DRAM now The technical setup behind the trade My risk management plan What would invalidate the trade As always, we'll wrap up with today's market action and the key themes I'm watching as we head into the next trading session.

Robert Cwiklik, guest author, explains that the ultimate turning point came when Grant decided to back down from Sheridan's aggressive mission. As the news reached New Orleans, telegraph operators shouted, "Grant backs down," a moment celebrated by the White League as a definitive victory. Although Republicans attempted to pass new enforcement legislation, the effort was stalled by Democrats who took control of the House in March 1875. Grant later confessed to Black official John R. Lynch that his decision to refrain from sending more troops—particularly to help Mississippi Republicans—was motivated by political survival in the North. Specifically, he feared that aggressive military action in the South would alienate voters in Ohio's state elections, potentially ruining the political future of Rutherford B. Hayes. By prioritizing Northern electoral success over the protection of Southern Black citizens, Granteffectively signaled the end of the Civil War's "fruits of victory," allowing the South to re-establish white supremacy through segregation and terror for the next century. Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War (8)1873
