Travels With Randy Summer Of '26 Episode 3 is here! Summertime Ramblin'! AI, Movie Reviews, The World Cup, Route 66, And Planning For Alaska  ***Featuring the release of the Travels With Randy Theme Song*** AI in Book Business Evolution Bubba discussed how his book business has evolved, mentioning he's now 100% focused on travel and has hired AI tools to handle various business functions including graphic design, data analysis, and software development. He explained how AI has significantly reduced the need for expensive software and development labor that was previously required for e-commerce operations. Randy and Bubba compared how AI tools could have dramatically simplified their business operations when they were starting their companies, noting that current software solutions are still clunky and expensive despite technological advances. AI and Retirement Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed their experiences working with AI, noting how conversational AI has become and how it can help maintain mental engagement in retirement. They also talked about the physical activities they engage in to stay active, such as yard work and running a book business. The conversation shifted to discussing Elon Musk's net worth and the valuation of SpaceX, with Randy sharing insights from a discussion with Grok about SpaceX's plans for AI data centers in space. Alaska Summer Travel Planning Bubba and Randy discussed their summer travel plans and potential Alaska trip. Randy shared his research on visiting Alaska's national parks, considering flying instead of driving to reduce logistics complexity and cost. They explored options for visiting different parks, including those requiring plane access, and discussed potential itineraries that could be tailored to their availability and preferences. Alaska Winter Trip Planning Bubba and Randy discussed planning a winter trip to Alaska, with Bubba suggesting visiting during winter when there would be fewer people and colder temperatures. They explored potential locations including the Bering Strait area and discussed visiting national parks like Kobuk Valley and Gates of the Arctic. Bubba mentioned his interest in the Discovery Channel show Gold Rush and expressed hope of meeting some of the gold prospectors during the trip. The conversation concluded with Bubba hinting at an upcoming announcement about their travel plans for next year. World Cup Tourism Impact Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed the positive impact of the World Cup on Route 66 tourism, noting increased international visitors and activity along the route since its inception in February. They highlighted the unique American experiences, such as visiting Buc-ee's, and reflected on the country's 250th anniversary celebrations. The conversation also touched on potential reuse of abandoned malls and the challenges of modern retail.  Spielberg Movie and Film Discussion Bubba expressed disappointment with the new Spielberg movie Disclosure Day, stating that while the director's craft was impressive, the script did not work well and the film received mostly negative reviews. He compared it unfavorably to other recent releases like Masters of the Universe and The Mandalorian And Grougu movie, while expressing enthusiasm for the upcoming Toy Story 5 film. The conversation then shifted to discussing the re-release of Cars on Route 66 and the importance of road trips for family bonding, with both participants sharing personal experiences of traveling with their children. Generational Perspectives and Future Challenges Bubba and Randy discussed generational differences in life experiences and perspectives, particularly focusing on how younger generations are approaching life differently than previous generations due to economic challenges and changing circumstances. They explored topics including the impact of COVID on children's development, the potential effects of AI on future generations, and space exploration plans including lunar missions. The conversation concluded with updates about their podcast "Travels with Randy," including the development of new theme music in different styles and their growing social media following of approximately 38,000 people on Facebook.   SO.

Jon Herold comes in Friday on a show that starts with a funeral. DOGE.gov has been taken down after five months of no updates, and Jon is in genuine mourning over the loss of his reliable eight-second daily segment. Then things get more serious: Spencer Pratt is being slowly and obviously bumped from the LA mayoral runoff by late-arriving ballots while everyone watches, federal prosecutors confirm multiple California election fraud investigations, and Trump is posting about it in real time. Jon delivers his funniest and most logical takedown yet of the "just vote them out" solution to election fraud, complete with a mock ballot system for whether the audience should vote. The Save America Act was rejected 48-50 in the Senate with four Republicans opposing it, and Jon asks Elon Musk and others to explain how voting out people in a fraudulent system fixes the fraudulent system. Trump also told the Wall Street Journal he wants Pulte to shrink or possibly terminate the ODNI entirely, which Jon and Chris Paul have been saying for a long time. Seven Senate Republicans including Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Mike Lee joined Democrats to kill the FISA renewal. The US and Russia signed a Bering Strait tunnel design agreement today. Trump endorsed Lindsey Graham. Jon has thoughts.

In the latest episode, The Fanbase Weekly co-hosts welcome special guests Tom Manning (Eric, Bering Strait) and Gabe Cheng (This Seems Normal, Love at First Bite) to discuss the latest geek news stories of the week, including Kickstarter's NSFW controversy, the role of "deconstructionism" in comics, and Dark Horse's closure of its Things from Another World shops.

Dr Ugo Perego tests the most pressing Mormon DNA claims. Did Joseph Smith have secret children from his plural marriages? What really triggered the Mountain Meadows Massacre? And does Native American DNA align with the Book of Mormon? https://youtu.be/ni5d6D90VoU Don’t miss our other conversations with Ugo! https://gospeltangents.com/people/ugo-perego/ Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved   In this fascinating throwback episode of Gospel Tangents, we sit down with Dr. Ugo Perego, a leading expert in population genetics and Mormon DNA. Dr. Perego shares the incredible results of his decades-long research, including the reconstruction of Joseph Smith’s Y-chromosome which revealed his unexpected Irish ancestry. He also details the massive 15-year scientific quest to solve the 150-year-old mystery of whether Josephine Lyon was Joseph’s biological daughter. The conversation then dives into the dark history of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Dr. Perego explores the chilling theory that an anthrax outbreak from infected cattle may have escalated the tragic violence. He also shares how mitochondrial DNA testing finally identified the true parentage of a rumored secret “18th surviving child” of the massacre. Finally, Dr. Perego breaks down the science of Native American DNA, explaining the ancient Bering Strait migration and debunking the genetic claims of “Heartland” Book of Mormon geography theorists. 0:00 Chapter 1: Introduction & Meet Dr. Ugo Perego Dr. Perego discusses his background, his 12 years of work building genetic databases, and his PhD research on Native American DNA origins. 14:10 Chapter 2: DNA Basics: Why Siblings Have Different Ancestry Results A brief dive into how genetics work, explaining why siblings can take DNA tests and receive different ancestral percentage breakdowns. 22:31 Chapter 3: Did Joseph Smith Have Children with Plural Wives? Dr. Perego introduces his efforts to use Y-chromosome testing to determine if Joseph Smith had any children from his polygamous marriages, finding no genetic matches among suspected sons. Chapter 4: The Shocking Irish Connection While attempting to reconstruct Joseph Smith’s Y-chromosome, Dr. Perego discovers that Joseph Smith’s early American ancestor carried an indigenous Irish Y-chromosome, not English. 44:56 Chapter 5: Solving the Josephine Lyon Mystery Dr. Perego details the massive $20,000 project to test the DNA of Josephine Lyon, finally proving she was the biological daughter of Windsor Lyon, not Joseph Smith. 1:00:22 Chapter 6: Mountain Meadows Massacre: The Secret “18th Child” The conversation shifts to a 150-year-old rumor about a secret 18th surviving child of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, a mystery finally solved using maternal DNA. 1:11:09 Chapter 7: Did Anthrax Escalate the Mountain Meadows Massacre? Dr. Perego explores the theory that local cattle given to Native Americans were actually infected with anthrax, sparking deadly tensions just days before the massacre. Chapter 8: Biblical Literalism, Pre-Adamites, & Evolution A discussion on the Church’s neutral stance regarding evolution and the literal interpretation of Genesis, including how incoming populations genetically mix with older, established populations. 1:29:41 Chapter 9: Book of Mormon DNA & The Bering Strait Migration Dr. Perego breaks down the science of Native American DNA, explaining why Lehi’s small group of Middle Eastern immigrants would have seen their DNA “swallowed up” after intermarrying with indigenous people. 1:58:21 Chapter 10: The Lemba Tribe, European DNA, & The “Heartland” Theory An examination of how isolated genes behave and a heavy critique of “Heartland” geography theorists who misuse “X2a” DNA lineages to claim proof of Middle Eastern Book of Mormon DNA. 2:14:56 Chapter 11: The Gospel Topics Essays & Book of Mormon Geography Dr. Perego shares his experience acting as the lead author behind the LDS Church’s Gospel Topics essay on DNA and concludes by sharing his personal thoughts on a Central American Book of Mormon geography model.

Elaine Dewar was tough. Contrary. The reporter who wrote an article that brought upon her the wrath of billionaires. It was a piece on the Reichmann family resulting in a $102 million dollar libel case that nearly killed Toronto Life Magazine. She argued against the Bering Strait theory on migration of humans to the Americas. She ruffled feathers with her views on the origins of Covid. Questioned ties between the environmental movement and big business. Those are just a few of the debates she sparked through her tireless investigative works.Elaine Dewar was debated, denounced, debunked. Well, they tried to debunk her. She was sued and she was spied on. She hated, as she put it, "Lying liars who lied." Elaine Dewar, investigative reporter and author of multiple nonfiction books. Born in Saskatchewan in 1948, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last August, and she died weeks later. She died writing. Elaine's publisher Dan Wells and daughter Anna Dewar Gully join us today to talk about her life and that final book, Oblivious, which chronicles the medical segregation of Indigenous people and their history as non-consensual subjects in medical experimentation.Editor's note: Approximately halfway through the podcast, publisher Dan Wells describes Otto Schaefer as a Nazi-trained doctor who conducted experiments on Indigenous people. While not entirely incorrect, this is something of an oversimplification of a nuanced history. Elaine Dewar gives that nuance in the book, and it's available to read in this Toronto Star excerpt.  Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Additional music by Audio NetworkFact checking by Julian AbrahamPhoto: Danielle DewarMore information:Oblivious: Residential Schools, Segregated Hospitals, and the use of Indigenous Peoples as Slaves of Race Science — BiblioasisWith weeks to live, Elaine Dewar finished her most personal book – probing settler Canadians' obliviousness — The Globe & MailBook excerpt: The complicated legacy of Otto Schaefer and Canada's Indigenous people — The Toronto StarCanada's media lawyers wage war on “libel chill” and the power of the purse — National Magazine, Canadian Bar Association#186 End Of The CanLit Hustle — CANADALAND#715 Mommy, Where Does COVID Come From? — CANADALANDSponsors: Fizz: Visit https://fizz.ca and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get 40$ off and 10GB of free data.Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at https://shopify.caArticle: Article is offering our listeners $50 off your first purchase of $100 or more.

A new study is exploring a radical idea: building a dam across the Bering Strait. The goal is to try to stabilize a massive ocean current, which helps regulate the planet's climate and is already slowing down. CBC science reporter Nicole Mortillaro walks us through what's happening to the system, why scientists are concerned, and what a slowdown could mean for rising sea levels to shifting weather and where people can live. Then, climate researcher Jelle Soons explains the thinking behind the dam. It's a proof of concept, not a real-world plan, and one that comes with significant risks and unknowns.

The USS Jeannette expedition (1879–1881) is remembered as one of the most tragic and compelling stories in maritime history, blending ambition, endurance, and survival against the odds. Financed by James Gordon Bennett Jr. and undertaken by the United States Navy, the expedition aimed to reach the North Pole via the Bering Strait in search of the theorized open polar sea. Commanded by George Washington De Long, a crew of 33 men departed San Francisco in 1879, only to become trapped in Arctic pack ice shortly after entering the polar region. For nearly two years, the Jeannette drifted helplessly across the frozen expanse before being crushed by ice in 1881, leaving the crew stranded on the drifting floes of the East Siberian Sea. What followed was a harrowing struggle for survival, as the men attempted to reach Siberia in three small boat parties after becoming separated in a violent storm. Ultimately, only 13 survived, while De Long and many others perished in the unforgiving Siberian wilderness. The historical record was preserved through De Long's recovered logbooks, and this story of polar exploration, shipwreck, and human endurance offers an exhaustive account of one of history's most ill-fated Arctic expeditions. Much of the research for this 2-part series comes from George De Long's extensive records.

In October 1897, eight whaling ships became trapped in pack ice near Point Barrow, Alaska — the northernmost tip of North America — with 265 men aboard and no possibility of rescue by sea until the following summer. With the crew facing starvation, President McKinley ordered the only vessel capable of Arctic work, the Revenue Cutter Bear, to attempt the impossible: get food to those men before they died. What followed was a 99-day, 1,500-mile overland march through an Alaskan winter, at temperatures as low as negative 45 degrees Fahrenheit, led by volunteer officers on foot and snowshoes. The plan hinged entirely on a herd of reindeer — and on a missionary who left his wife and children alone in a remote Bering Strait village to guide them through the most brutal leg of the journey. This is the rescue that almost no one knows about, and it is one of the most remarkable survival stories in American history. 00:06 Wilderness First Aid 01:08 Podcast Intro 01:32 Point Barrow Rescue Tease 03:27 Sources Listener Shoutout 04:19 Whalers Trapped In Ice 06:14 Rescue Mission Problem 07:30 Reindeer Rescue Plan 07:43 Meet The Volunteers 12:00 Reindeer Program Origins 13:37 Overland Trek Begins 14:37 Team Splits To Survive 17:00 Negotiating For Reindeer 20:09 Driving The Herd North 21:15 Arctic Medicine Reality 22:32 Snow Blindness Solutions 23:14 Snowblindness Hacks 24:06 Power Bar Wrapper Goggles 25:30 Calorie Deficit Breakdown 27:02 Bad News From Tilton 28:10 Belvedere In Ice 28:57 Arrival At Point Barrow 30:54 Scurvy And Reindeer Cure 32:53 Bear Breaks Through Ice 34:14 Medals And Missing Credit 35:55 Where They Ended Up 39:49 The Lost Ship Wanderer 40:21 Jarvis Philosophy And Wrap Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ REFERENCES Jarvis, David H.

In 1648, a Russian expedition with seven boats and 90 men set out on the Arctic Ocean – above Siberia – to find rich lands to the east. The expedition would – in time – be led by Semyon Dezhnev – a Cossack. The Russians would be nearly killed due to storms, starvation, disease and hostile natives. But Dezhnev would survive – and go on to the first European to pass through the Bering Strait. He then spent 14 years exploring the northeast of Siberia – opening up the region for the Russian Empire. Sponsors: Quince.

The primary focus of today's discussion centers on the severe weather conditions impacting various regions across the United States, with particular emphasis on the blizzard warnings currently in effect for Alaska. I delineate the perilous situation along the Bering Strait coast, where visibility has been markedly reduced, creating treacherous travel conditions. Furthermore, I address the persistent lake effect snow advisories affecting parts of central New York, which pose significant challenges during the morning commute. We also touch upon the high surf advisory in Hawaii, cautioning against strong currents that may endanger those on the east-facing shores. Additionally, I highlight the recent updates issued by FEMA concerning flood maps for Cochise County, Arizona, urging residents to familiarize themselves with the new information to better understand their flood risk.Takeaways:* Alaska currently faces severe blizzard warnings, significantly impairing visibility and travel safety.* The Great Lakes region continues to experience persistent lake effect snow, affecting morning commutes.* In Hawaii, a high surf advisory is in effect, creating hazardous conditions along east facing shores.* FEMA has issued updated flood maps for Cochise County, necessitating local residents to review their risk assessments.* The National Weather Service anticipates additional winter weather advisories for Central New York into the afternoon.* Overall, there are no significant updates from other states affecting national weather conditions today.Sources[NWS Fairbanks Blizzard Warnings | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=blizzard+warning][NWS Map (example: Gambell) | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=63.37539&lon=-171.715146][FEMA — Cochise County Flood Maps Update | https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20260211/fema-updates-flood-maps-cochise-county][NWS Honolulu — Coastal Hazard Message | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=HFO&product=CFW&site=hfo][NWS (Albany text feed for advisory counties) | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=aly&wwa=winter+weather+advisory] This is a public episode.

Karl Bushby, the British man walking around the world, is almost home. The former paratrooper set off from Chile in 1998. He walked through the Americas, crossed the frozen ocean from Alaska to Russia, and last year became the first person to swim the Caspian Sea between Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. These are all huge achievements in their own right but for Bushby they were just sections he had to complete to finish his epic journey. Originally scheduled to finish in 2006, Bushby is now 56 and still going. Geopolitics has played its part, with Russian and Iranian visa rejections some of the main causes of delay. He arrived in Budapest last month and with the English Channel being the only obvious remaining obstacle to navigate, he should be back in Humberside by this time next year. Stephen Smith finds out who he is and what's kept him going for so long.

The Arctic is heating four times faster than the global average, with scientists predicting the Arctic Ocean will be completely free of ice in summer by the early 2030s. This rapid melting presents an existential threat to Arctic infrastructure and ecosystems, as well as opening new claims on strategically valuable resources. As temperatures rise in the Arctic, so do geopolitical tensions. This week, Alasdair is joined by Mia Bennett, co-author with Klaus Dodds of “Unfrozen: The Fight for The Future of The Arctic,” published by Yale University Press. Mia explains the environmental consequences of melting permafrost, the roles multilateral organisations and Indigenous communities have within policymaking, and the growing militarisation of the region.  Mia Bennett is Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Washington, and a British Academy Visiting Fellow at UCL's Centre for Outer Space Studies. Her book "Unfrozen” and long-running blog “Cryopolitics” examine Arctic developments – including the science of climate breakdown, national and Indigenous politics, and the emergence of new markets. “Unfrozen: The Fight for The Future of The Arctic,” is available to purchase from Yale University Press here.Further reading: 'Have we reached peak Arctic Circle?'

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, Hunter guides us through a reflective journey on this 14th day of December, drawing insights from Hebrews chapters 12 and 13, and the letter of Jude. Together, we explore themes of faith, endurance, and transformation—reminding ourselves that our true home is still ahead, beyond the hardships and changing seasons of life. Hunter shares the powerful encouragement found in scripture: pressing on in faith, setting our sights on Jesus, and supporting one another in love, peace, and holiness.

Settle in for inspiring scripture readings, thoughtful reflections, and uplifting prayers as you walk together with Hunter and the Daily Radio Bible community. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We're making our migration home through all the seasons of life. We used to live in a place where we had sandhill cranes that we could watch out our back window. Those cranes sometimes migrate all the way across the Bering Strait to Siberia to their mating grounds, where it all began. When the winter begins, they'll make their journey back. These days in December are some of the longest nights and coldest days of the year. But starting December 21, the days will slowly grow longer and the nights shorter. These amazing cranes will begin to make their way home, drawn by an inexplicable call, some kind of life within them, drawing them back. And so it is with us. You may be in a winter season where the nights are long and the days are too short, but don't forget that you are on a journey too. And that journey will lead all of us home. The writer of Hebrews wants to remind us all that the world is not our permanent home. He says this in Hebrews 13:15: "So let us go out to him outside the camp and bear the disgrace he bore. For this world is not our permanent home. We are looking forward to a home yet to come. Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name." So let's keep going forward, setting our focus and our heart on our permanent home. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

This week on One Decision, guest host Rosanna Lockwood and Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of Britain's MI6 sit down with Ambassador Mike Sfraga, the first U.S. Ambassador for Arctic Affairs, to examine one of the world's most rapidly changing regions, the Arctic.  Ambassador Sfraga, currently Chancellor of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, starts the discussion by outlining the seven forces reshaping the high north including rapid climate change, shipping strategies, and a desire for access among military global powers. The conversation explores the impact of Finland and Sweden joining NATO, shifting the balance of power along the northern region, complicating Russia's long-term strategic goals. The group further unpacks Russia's extensive militarization across the Arctic, including new bases, island fortifications, and the significance of its Northern Fleet on the Kola Peninsula. Ambassador Sfraga further explains why the Bering Strait is becoming one of the world's most important corridors  and why the U.S. needs infrastructure investments to challenge both Russia and China's influence. The discussion also details the speed of Arctic warming and the effects on global weather systems, coastal communities, food security, fisheries, and even catastrophic storms now reaching Alaska.

Matt Ehret and Ghost (Gordon McCormick) reunite after a brief break for a powerhouse episode of Breaking History that spans centuries of geopolitics and the future of global order. They begin with the newly resurfaced “Kennedy–Khrushchev World Peace Bridge” map linking Alaska to Russia, a vision for unity that Ehret traces back to 19th-century proposals for a Bering Strait tunnel. The hosts debate whether the document's reemergence is historical revelation or strategic forgery, tying it to JFK's legacy, Trump's modern diplomacy, and Russia's long game of cooperative infrastructure. From there, they dissect Trump's postponed Budapest summit, U.S.–Russia sanctions, and how “WrestleMania-level theater” masks real geopolitical shifts. The conversation unfolds into Venezuela's cartel wars, Zionism's unraveling, Christian heresy, and the coming peace through sovereign alliances. With humor, history, and heavy analysis, Breaking History delivers its signature blend of strategy, spirit, and revelation, reminding listeners that the great game is always bigger than the headlines.

Broadcasting live from the Shenandoah Valley, Ghost unpacks a wild week of global developments, from Alaska to Africa, in a fast-paced, signal-heavy episode of Geopolitics with Ghost. He kicks off with Kirill Dmitriev's viral posts about the proposed “Putin–Trump Tunnel” under the Bering Strait, linking Russia and America through Elon Musk's Boring Company. Ghost connects the project to JFK's “World Peace Bridge” vision, Trump's phone call with Putin, and the quiet alignment between Moscow and Washington that's already reshaping the global order. From there, he covers Hungary's nuclear partnership with the U.S., Trump's rare earth deal with Australia, and how Africa is becoming the new frontier of sovereignty, with Ethiopia, Nigeria, and the DRC leading the charge through nuclear development and anti-globalist movements. The show closes with deep dives into Lavrov's peace negotiations, Mike Tyson's symbolic visit to Congo, and Trump's fiery warning to Colombia's president over cartel ties. Sharp, funny, and fearless, this episode captures Ghost at his analytical best, decoding the clues, connecting the dots, and revealing how the world's new alliances are forming right before our eyes.

It's Monday, October 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes, written by Jonathan Clark, heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Human Rights Conference in Berlin Highlights Christian Persecution Human rights experts met in Berlin, Germany last Wednesday, highlighting the increased persecution of Christians worldwide.  The International Society for Human Rights released a new report on Christian persecution at the conference.  The report notes that Christians suffer under dictatorial states like China, Cuba, and North Korea. They remain victims of discrimination and violence without state protections in countries like Egypt, Syria, Nigeria, India, and Myanmar. And believers face persecution in Islamic republics like Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan.  The conference also highlighted the suffering of Ukrainian Christians under Russian occupation. Johann Matthies with the Evangelical Alliance in Germany said, “Russian occupation authorities are specifically targeting Ukrainian religious communities: they are pressuring churches to cooperate or destroying them if they refuse.” Psalm 34:15-16 says, “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.” President Trump Continues Efforts to End Russian-Ukrainian War U.S. President Donald Trump continues his efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. President Trump spoke over the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Thursday. He then met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last Friday. President Trump also plans on meeting with President Putin in Budapest, Hungary in the coming weeks. Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: "I met with President Zelensky, as you know, today, and we had a very good meeting; very cordial meeting. In my opinion, they should stop the war immediately. You stop at the battle line, and both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it. Stop right now at the battle line. I told that to President Zelensky. I told it to President Putin. Thank you very much, everybody." Russia Proposes a Rail Tunnel Under the Bering Strait Reuters reports Russia proposed a “Putin-Trump” rail tunnel under the Bering Strait to link the two nations. The eight billion dollar proposal follows President Donald Trump's phone call with President Vladimir Putin. Russia's proposal would involve building a 70-mile rail and cargo tunnel between Alaska and Russia's eastern region of Chukotka. The plan suggested Elon Musk's Boring Company for the construction project. President Trump called the idea “interesting,” saying, “We'll have to think about that.”  Trump Moves to Reduce the Cost of IVF Last Thursday, President Donald Trump announced a deal with the pharmaceutical industry to reduce the cost of in vitro fertilization. The Trump administration hailed the move as pro-family. However, pro-life groups are criticizing the plan.  LifeSiteNews noted, “The IVF process is gravely unethical as it entails the conscious creation of scores of ‘excess' embryonic humans only to be killed and human lives being treated like commodities to be bartered over. It has been estimated that more than a million embryos are frozen in storage in the United States following IVF, and that as many as 93 percent of all embryos created through IVF are eventually destroyed.” Conservative Anglicans Split from the Church of England Conservative Anglicans formally split from the Church of England last week. The Global Anglican Future Conference, also known as GAFCON, declared itself to be the Global Anglican Communion. It will no longer participate in meetings called by the Church of England's Archbishop of Canterbury.  Sarah Mullally is the recently appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. She is the first female to hold the position and supports same-sex blessings. Bishop Laurent Mbanda is the chairman of the GAFCON Primates' Council as well as the Primate of Rwanda. He wrote, “We cannot continue to have communion with those who . . . abandoned the inerrant word of God as the final authority.” Isaiah 8:20 says, “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Pew Research: Divorce Rates are Down in the U.S. And finally, Pew Research reports divorce rates, and specifically refined divorce rates, are down in the U.S. Unlike the overall divorce rate, the refined divorce rate takes into account changes in the number of people who are married at any given time.  This refined divorce rate peaked in the U.S. around 1980 at 22.6 divorces per 1,000 married women. By 2023, it had declined to 14.4 divorces per 1,000 married women.  The report noted that married men are more likely to be employed than divorced men. Also married adults have higher household incomes and hold more wealth than divorced adults.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

In Part 2 of this extraordinary conversation, Just Wondering host Norm Hitzges continues his deep dive into the incredible life of explorer Karl Bushby — the man walking his way into history. For nearly three decades, Karl has trekked over 36,000 miles across the globe, chasing his dream to be the first person ever to walk all the way around the world. In this episode, Karl opens up about the most dangerous chapters of his expedition: facing guerrillas in the Darien Gap, being detained in Russia after crossing the frozen Bering Strait, and the mental grind of keeping his journey alive through political obstacles and personal sacrifice. He also shares stories of unexpected kindness from strangers, evolving technology that reshaped his travels, and how strict rules of his mission — no skipping, no shortcuts — have kept him honest through every mile. This is not just a travelogue.

Noah Strycker is the Indiana Jones of birding, willing to brave jungle heat and Arctic cold just to spot that rare bunting, owl, or hawk. In 2015, in a quest that spanned 41 countries and all seven continents, he set a world record by finding more than 6,000 different kinds of birds—more than half the bird species on Earth—in a single year. But, as Noah explains in this episode, searching out our feathered friends doesn't necessarily require epic treks across the globe. Sometimes birding is as simple as keeping your eye on a backyard feeder or taking a mindful walk in the woods. It can also be a great part of any road trip in the West, from the canyons of Arizona to the Bering Strait. Noah regales aspiring birders Mitti and Michelle with tales of his own greatest birding adventures and offers tips for anyone who wants to embark on one of their own. Destinations we visit: Madera Canyon, Arizona Point Reyes, California Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, California Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon Nome, Alaska St. Lawrence Island, Alaska Colombia Guyana  Birds we observe: American robin Bald eagle Barred owl Choco toucan Great horned owl Harpy eagle Northern pygmy owl Ptarmigan Puffin Red-tailed hawk Ringed kingfisher Sandhill crane Snow goose White-throated sparrow Yellow warbler Guest: Noah Strycker is a writer and photographer based in Eugene, Oregon. He has written several bestselling books, including Birding Without Borders: An Obsession, a Quest, and the Biggest Year in the World and The Thing With Feathers: The Surprising Lives of Birds and What They Reveal About Being Human. He is also the associate editor of Birding magazine. He's been called a “Travel Pioneer” by the BBC and “Birdman of Razzmatazz” by Newsweek. Noah has an especially soft spot for penguins, which he's observed and researched on nearly 50 expeditions to Antarctica.

What does it take to walk around the world — literally? In this remarkable episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with explorer Karl Bushby, who has spent the last 27 years on a 36,000-mile mission to be the first person to circumnavigate the globe entirely on foot. From surviving in Patagonia with little more than road scraps and berries, to crossing the icy, unforgiving Bering Strait, Karl's journey has been defined by grit, danger, and an unshakable belief in the impossible. Along the way, he's faced guerrillas in the Darien Gap, been detained by Russian authorities, and endured financial setbacks — yet through it all, he's pushed forward, mile after mile. Speaking from Istanbul as he nears the end of his epic journey, Karl shares his motivations, brushes with death, encounters with kindness, and the strict rules that have shaped his quest. This isn't just a story about walking — it's a testament to endurance, resilience, and the audacity of the human spirit. If you've ever doubted what one person can achieve, Karl Bushby's story will change your mind. Sign up for Norm's Picks of the Pole, here: https://payhip.com/PicksofthePolewithNormHitzges or email Norm for picks: norm13tenmail.com Chapters: 0:01 – Introducing Karl Bushby: A lifetime adventurer joins from Istanbul2:23 – Why walk the world?

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a summit on Aug 15 in Alaska, both leaders confirmed this week. The meeting marks their first in-person talks since 2021 and follows months of escalating US pressure on Russia over the Ukraine conflict.两位领导人本周证实，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京将于8月15日在阿拉斯加举行峰会。这次会议标志着他们自2021年以来的首次面对面会谈，此前数月，美国在乌克兰冲突问题上对俄罗斯的压力不断升级。‘Trump announced the meeting via his Truth Social platform on Aug 8, stating, "Will be meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week — big things on the table!" Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov confirmed the details hours later, noting the talks would focus on a "long-term peaceful solution for Ukraine".特朗普于8月8日通过他的Truth Social平台宣布了这次会面，并表示：“下周将在阿拉斯加与弗拉基米尔·普京会面——重要的事情摆在桌面上！”克里姆林宫助手尤里·乌沙科夫在数小时后证实了细节，并指出会谈将侧重于“乌克兰的长期和平解决方案”。 The choice of Alaska — where Russia and the US are separated by around 85 kilometers across the Bering Strait — carries deep historical weight. Putin will become the first Russian leader to visit Alaska, a region Russia sold to the US in 1867. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy welcomed the event, calling the state "a bridge between nations".特朗普于8月8日通过他的Truth Social平台宣布了这次会面，并表示：“下周将在阿拉斯加与弗拉基米尔·普京会面——重要的事情摆在桌面上！”克里姆林宫助手尤里·乌沙科夫在数小时后证实了细节，并指出会谈将侧重于“乌克兰的长期和平解决方案”。 In remarks on Aug 8, Trump hinted at potential land swaps between Ukraine and Russia, stating, "We're actually going to take back some land and exchange some...There will be territorial adjustments beneficial to both sides." While he provided no specifics, sources indicate US and Russian officials are drafting proposals involving recognition of Russian-controlled territories (Luhansk, Donetsk, Crimea) in exchange for Russia relinquishing claims to Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Trump also asserted his interventions prevented the Ukraine crisis from escalating into "World War III".在8月8日的讲话中，特朗普暗示乌克兰和俄罗斯之间可能会进行土地交换，他说：“我们实际上会收回一些土地并交换一些……领土调整对双方都有利。”虽然他没有提供具体细节，但消息人士表示，美国和俄罗斯官员正在起草涉及承认俄罗斯控制的领土（卢甘斯克、顿涅茨克、克里米亚）的提案，以换取俄罗斯放弃对赫尔松和扎波里日亚的主权要求。特朗普还声称，他的干预措施防止了乌克兰危机升级为“第三次世界大战”。 On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, excluded from the summit, urgently coordinated with European leaders after Trump declared Putin did not need to meet him first. In a video address, Zelensky insisted Russia must "initiate a ceasefire" and stressed Europe's role in ensuring "just and lasting peace".周五，被排除在峰会之外的乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在特朗普宣布普京不需要先会见他后，紧急与欧洲领导人协调。泽连斯基在视频讲话中坚称，俄罗斯必须“启动停火”，并强调欧洲在确保“公正持久和平”方面的作用。 Meanwhile, according to American news media platform Axios, senior US, Ukrainian, and European officials will gather this weekend in London to align positions, fearing Trump may accept Putin's terms without consulting allies.与此同时，据美国新闻媒体平台Axios报道，美国、乌克兰和欧洲高级官员将于本周末在伦敦聚集，以调整立场，担心特朗普可能会在不咨询盟友的情况下接受普京的条款。 The US-Russian summit occurs just days after Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on Indian goods to punish New Delhi for buying Russian oil — a move underscoring his pressure campaign on Moscow. European leaders, though briefed by Trump, were reportedly "stunned" by their exclusion from the talks. Kremlin aide Ushakov acknowledged preparations "won't be easy", and revealed Russia has invited Trump for a follow-up meeting on Russian soil.就在几天前，特朗普对印度商品征收25%的关税，以惩罚新德里购买俄罗斯石油，此举突显了他对莫斯科的压力。据报道，尽管特朗普向欧洲领导人介绍了情况，但他们被排除在谈判之外，这让他们“震惊”。克里姆林宫助手乌沙科夫承认，准备工作“并不容易”，并透露俄罗斯已邀请特朗普在俄罗斯领土上举行后续会议。 initiate a ceasefiren.启动停火/ɪˈnɪʃieɪt ə ˈsiːsˌfaɪə/ stunnedn.惊呆了/stʌnd/

In this solo deep-dive episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret tackles the untold history of Canada, exposing the imperial roots of Confederation and the British Crown's long war on republicanism. Broadcasting from Alberta, Matt unpacks how Canada's formation in 1867 was engineered to thwart U.S.-style sovereignty, tracing British counter-revolutionary strategies through figures like Lord Alfred Milner, Mark Carney, and Sir John A. Macdonald. Through historical analysis and biting insight, Matt reveals how pro-British networks derailed movements for Canadian-American unity, crushed visionary infrastructure projects like the Bering Strait rail link, and weaponized cultural identity against liberty itself. He highlights unsung Canadian nationalists, compares economic models of empire vs. republic, and makes the case for an Alberta revival rooted in real independence, not just secession. From Franklin and Lincoln to Russia and China, Ehret draws powerful global parallels to today's moment, calling for bold reforms like Glass-Steagall, a return to national banking, and a vision-driven economy. This isn't just Canadian history, it's a blueprint for reclaiming sovereignty from the empire, one idea at a time.

In this one, Cody talks to author and historian Bathsheba Demuth. She grew up in Iowa, a place she describes as having an extremely cultivated landscape — shaped and managed by people at nearly every turn. Her first exposure to the North came through the writings of Jack London, books her parents read to her aloud. As a kid, London's tales of adventure resonated with her, but as she got older she began thinking about his reflections on how economic and political systems can crush people. At 18, she made the decision to head to the Arctic. There she spent time mushing dogs in the Yukon. She says that experience was utterly transformative. It shifted her idea of what it means to be a human being — not as a lone agent of individual destiny, but as a life that is part of a broader ecology. In her book “Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait,” she compares how Soviet Russia and the United States approached the Arctic, specifically around the Bering Strait. What she discovered was that despite their ideological differences, both nations treated animals and sealife in similar ways — primarily as resources to be managed or harvested. For those living outside the Arctic, the region has undergone a series of shifting narratives, it's gone from a place of extraction, to a geopolitical flashpoint during the Cold War, and now, to the forefront of global climate change. Both of those perspectives stand in stark contrast to how many Indigenous Arctic communities have historically related to the sea and the land, their focus being on reciprocity rather than domination.

At 18, she made the decision to head to the Arctic. There she spent time mushing dogs in the Yukon. She says that experience was utterly transformative. It shifted her idea of what it means to be a human being — not as a lone agent of individual destiny, but as a life that is part of a broader ecology. In her book “Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait,” she compares how Soviet Russia and the United States approached the Arctic, specifically around the Bering Strait. What she discovered was that despite their ideological differences, both nations treated animals and sealife in similar ways — primarily as resources to be managed or harvested. For those living outside the Arctic, the region has undergone a series of shifting narratives, it's gone from a place of extraction, to a geopolitical flashpoint during the Cold War, and now, to the forefront of global climate change. Both of those perspectives stand in stark contrast to how many Indigenous Arctic communities have historically related to the sea and the land, their focus being on reciprocity rather than domination.

Burning Bright and Matt Ehret reunite for a mind-bending deep dive into the real history and high-stakes future of U.S.–Russia relations. From secret railways under the Bering Strait to Putin's unspoken alliance with Trump, the duo unpacks the long-hidden conspiracies, economic warfare, and spiritual battles shaping the multipolar world. They trace the roots of globalist power from the Hellfire Club to the CIA and cartels, exposing a satanic death cult embedded in geopolitics. This episode is a narrative cipher...part history lesson, part reality check, part wake-up call. If you think this is just about oil and money, think again. The true war is for your soul.  

Towards the end of the March 3, 1975 issue of Sports Illustrated a reader wrote in on the exploits of a little known swimmer who had appeared in two issues of SI the previous month. The woman wrote, "Thank you for a beautifully written piece on an incredible woman. Lynne Cox. How refreshing it is to read a story written by a man (Sam Moses) about a woman that does not go on about the color of her hair or how she looked in her bathing suit." What was noticeable is that Miss Cox was wearing a bathing suit, but not a wetsuit... despite the obvious need for one as she was a long distance swimmer who sometimes swam in temps that were below freezing. When Lynne was 14, she and three other teammates swam the 31 miles it takes to cross the Catalina Island Channel... and that the beginning of a life like no other. She would go on to swim the English Channel, as well as a mile in 26 degree water in Antartica. Yes, you read that correctly... she swam for a mile in just bathing suit in below freezing temps. But her most famous swim was in 1987 when she crossed the Bering Strait... it took her over 2 hours to go from Little Diomede in Alaska to Big Diomede in the USSR in waters that were 38 degrees. She was trying to raise attention to how close the two Superpowers were in proximity and to help bring an end to the Cold War. President's Reagan and Gorbachev both toasted her on her amazing accomplishment. Cox is now 68 years old, and tells us how Russian doctors were prepared to help her immediately once she came ashore in the Soviet Union and how cardiac arrest was a real possibility. How the people of the islands were actually families who hadn't been able to communicate with each other in almost 50 years and began to rejoice and sing once she brought them together! She recalls a swim where she thought a shark might be in the water, but instead it was a pod of dolphins guiding her across the Cook Strait in New Zealand. She tells amazing stories because she has amazing stories to tell... and she does it on this weeks Past Our Prime podcast. You won't believe it unless you hear it.

Today is December 14th, day 349 of our year-long journey through the scriptures. I'm your host, Hunter, your Bible reading coach and brother, here to explore the transformative power of God's word with you. Today's readings take us through Hebrews chapters 12 and 13, and the single chapter of Jude. We'll reflect on discipline, perseverance in faith, love for one another, and the eternal hope we possess. We'll also delve into powerful prayers and reminders of God's faithful love. Let's embark on this enlightening journey together, seeking daily transformation through God's word. Join me, and let's discover the richness of Scripture and the assurance of a hope-filled future. Let's get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: We're making our migration home. Through all the seasons of life, we used to live in a place where we had sandhill cranes that we could watch out our back window. Those cranes sometimes migrate all the way across the Bering Strait to Siberia, to their mating grounds, where it all began. When the winter begins, they'll make their journey back. These days in December are some of the longest nights and coldest days of the year. But starting December 21st, the days will slowly grow longer and the nights shorter. These amazing cranes will begin to make their way home, drawn by an inexplicable call, some kind of life within them drawing them back. And so it is with us. You may be in a winter season where the nights are long and the days are too short, But don't forget that you are on a journey too, and that journey will lead all of us home. The writer of Hebrews wants to remind us all that the world is not our permanent home. He says this in verse 13-fifteen. So let us go out to him, outside the camp, and bear the disgrace he bore. For this world is not our permanent home. We are looking forward to a home yet to come. Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name. So let's keep going forward, setting our focus and our heart on our permanent home. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that is the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. Let's continue now in a time of prayer. Feel free to read along with these prayers in the show notes of today's podcast and meditate on these words that are being spoken over you, your family, and our world. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

This week's BIGFOOT REPLAY is with adventurer, polar explorer, environmentalist, Minnesotan, and wonderfully nice guy Paul Schurke!! Paul is a legend in the adventure world- completing multiple expeditions to the North Pole (including an unsupported trip in the 80s), dogsledding across Siberia (to convince the US and Soviet Union to open the Bering Strait to help out Inuit families), following in the footsteps of Teddy Roosevelt's River of Doubt expedition in the Amazon, crossing South Georgia Island by the same route as Ernest Shackleton, and so much more.

Only months after his return from his mammoth Second Voyage, the Admiralty ordered Cook back to the Pacific, ostensibly to return Omai, a young man from Raiatea, to his homeland, but in fact to attempt the discovery of the Northwest Passage (a proposed route from the Pacific to the Atlantic north of Canada). Cook commanded HMS Resolution and was accompanied by Captain Clerke commanding HMS Discovery. After sailing to the Pacific via Tenerife, Cape Town and New Zealand, Omai was returned to his home, after which Cook became the first European to visit the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) and then mapped the West Coast of North America. After many delays, he penetrated the Bering Strait, but was unable because of ice to proceed either East or West. He eventually returned to Hawaii, where Cook was killed by the natives. Following the death of Captain Clerke from tuberculosis, the ships eventually returned to Britain under the command of Captain Gore.This first volume covers only the portion of the voyage up to the first visit to Hawaii.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome to a riveting episode of the Strang Report, where Steph Strang engages in a thought-provoking conversation with renowned prophetic voice, James Goll. In this intriguing discussion, they delve deep into the Israel-Hamas conflict, seeking to uncover its potential prophetic implications. James Goll draws upon his extensive knowledge of biblical scripture, particularly Psalm 83, to shed light on the conspiracy among nations to erase Israel from the world map. He explores how this aligns with Hamas's mission and why it's crucial to understand the conflict biblically and prophetically. Goll offers a unique perspective, discussing the possibility of multiple regional wars on the horizon, not limited to the Middle East but also extending to the Ukraine, the Pacific waterways, and the Bering Strait. He highlights the geographical entities mentioned in Psalm 83, which includes the Gaza Strip, Southern Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Iran, while noting the absence of certain nations like Germany and references to Gog and Magog. This episode is a captivating exploration of the spiritual and prophetic dimensions of a complex global issue. James Goll emphasizes the power of prayer, divine intervention, and supernatural protection for both Israel and the United States, while addressing the current political climate and potential challenges ahead. Join us in this enlightening conversation as we unravel the mysteries and spiritual significance behind one of the world's most pressing conflicts.

Dr. Sara Dant is a Brady Presidential Distinguished Professor of history at Weber State University, and she's the author of one of my most-often recommended books, "Losing Eden: An Environmental History of the American West." She is also one of the featured historians in Ken Burns' newest documentary, The American Buffalo, which you can watch for free on the PBS website. Sara's work focuses on environmental politics in the United States with a particular emphasis on the creation and development of consensus and bipartisanism, and she is especially skilled at presenting complex, sometimes controversial topics in an engaging and fun-to-learn manner. - In June of 2023, Sara updated and republished her book "Losing Eden"– she added some chapters, revised some of the content, and added lots of maps, photos, and additional resources. She somehow managed to make one of my favorite books even better. For anyone who is looking for a thorough yet fun-to-read overview of this complex region known as the American West, I can't recommend it enough. From the migration of humans across the Bering Strait to modern-day controversies around energy development, the book provides a solid foundation and acts as a launching point to dig into whatever specific time period you may find interesting. - Longtime listeners will remember my first conversation with Sara back in 2018, in which we discussed the early phases of North American environmental history, the tragedy of the commons, conservation vs preservation, and more. In this conversation, we focus on mostly recent environmental history, including the historic environmental legislation of the 1960s and 70s, legendary senator Frank Church, and the backlash to environmental regulation that led to movements such as the Sagebrush Rebellion. We also discuss Sara's perspective-shifting Alaska adventure, the value of wild places, her experience working with Ken Burns, book recommendations, and much, much more. - I always enjoy my visits with Sara, and I can't thank her enough for how generous she is with sharing her time, wisdom, and expertise. I'd encourage you to pick up a copy of the new "Losing Eden," but in the meantime, enjoy this conversation with Dr. Sara Dant. --- Losing Eden: An Environmental History of the American West by Sara Dant Sara's first M&P episode Ed's Bimonthly Book Recommendations --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 3:30 - Why Sara decided to republish Losing Eden 7:00 - The guiding idea of "at what cost?" 10:00 - The myth of "right or wrong," "good or bad" 16:15 - Using history to understand our current political situation 19:30 - Optimistic examples of positive political environmental bipartisanship 23:30 - The legendary Idaho senator, Frank Church 28:00 - James Watt and the backlash to environmental regulation 34:00 - Divisiveness as a power-grabbing tool 43:00 - Sara's 2019 life-changing trip to Alaska 46:30 - What is the value of wild places? 54:15 - Participating in the new Ken Burns documentary 56:30 - Something new that Sara has recently learned 1:02:30 - Book recommendations and further reading 1:10:30 - Parting words of wisdom --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

Funiculars are great, which is why the main image from our previous train episode featured one -- except we didn't actually talk about that one during the show. It's a cable car from Wellington, and as it turns out it's one of hundreds of funiculars in this city. Roman and Kurt are back with another series of railroad tales. All aboard!Train Set: Track Two
