Podcasts about borders

In 2026 a return to our core principles as a nation will be the paramount goal. Constraints on power are reasserting themselves. System memory returns. Back to the founder's concepts. Federalism by friction. Borders will be redrawn not in ink, but in practice. Somali's were targeted for specific reasons. We'll hear about currency zones and sovereignty blocks. Europe is changing fast too. UK won't dissolve but unity is weakening. The world sees old rules no longer apply. Conformity is unenforceable. The eighth and ninth Amendments will be key. Power will flow back to the states. This is basic political physics and not rebellion. The economic hardships are real. Traditional structure will win and systems will stop pretending. America 250 matters. Trump's statements on the new year give hints. He won't be around forever. Since 2013, the power has returned to the people. Ohio minimized it's own state's constitution and invited federal overreach. That's important. Empires last about 250 years. Traditional colonialism is returning. China security buildup happening in the Sahel. There's South America and aliens too. Hardships are lessons. So much reckoning is coming. Above it all, President Trump is slowly and carefully returning power to the people.

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Nate Cain – Corruption, border failures, and institutional secrecy converge as fraud scandals drain taxpayer funds and erode trust in government. From Minnesota's massive misuse of public programs to the ongoing border crisis and newly declassified CIA records, whistleblower insight exposes how accountability collapses when power goes unchecked and truth is buried...

Judge faith by the neighbor who gets help, not the hype of our politics. Episcopal deacon Gerri Endicott shows how preaching turns into rides, meals, and quiet care. She explains why she leads with “I follow Jesus,” a simple line that lowers walls and points to a Person, not a brand. Judge faith by the neighbor who gets help, not the volume of our politics.  Craig and Gerri test faith by its fruit. They sort out what happens when Christianity gets pulled into national politics. Gratitude for a country is good; loyalty belongs to Jesus. Gerri also names a pre-Advent practice from her church's calendar that helps her community rehearse that loyalty (Christ the King). Not every church observes it, but the posture fits anywhere. Try this week: serve one neighbor, tell the truth with kindness, pray for an enemy by name, choose presence over outrage. If you want a public faith that looks like Jesus, start here. Their conversation digs into: What a deacon does: service over stage, church facing outward. “I follow Jesus” language that lowers walls. Christian nationalism vs. the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5–7). Christ the King (her practice): a simple loyalty reset. Nations (peoples) vs. modern countries—why words matter. Presence over outrage: small acts, kept promises, steady love.

It is second only to the United States in sending missionaries into the world and its approach is far from typical. Brazilian missionaries use everyday jobs and personal connection to carry their faith across borders. 2025 was considered the ... ...

There are years that feel chaotic while you're living them, and then there are years that snap into focus later like a crime scene photo. 2025 is the latter.Because 2025 wasn't loud chaos. It was quiet correction. And nothing terrifies the Left more than order returning without their permission.Trump's second term didn't open with poetry. It opened with paperwork. Borders. Ledgers. Labels. Consequences. The sort of things Democrats swear are impossible right up until someone does them.The Left spent the year screaming about norms. Trump spent the year restoring reality. And reality, as it turns out, votes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Israel has said it will stop dozens of aid organisations working in Gaza, including MSF Doctors without Borders and ActionAid, within the next day for failing to hand over the personal details of Palestinian and international staff. We spoke to John Whyte, senior deputy director for UNRWA, which Israel banned from operating in the country in 2024.

RETHINKING BORDERS AND THE ECONOMIC NECESSITY OF HUMAN MOBILITY Colleague Gaia Vince. Vince argues that while humans have migrated for hundreds of thousands of years, modern borders currently restrict the world's most valuable economic resource: human labor. She suggests that removing these barriers could significantly boost global GDP, noting that current restrictions are ill-suited for a world facing climate catastrophe. As the Global North faces a demographic crisis with aging populations, Vince asserts these nations need immigrants to sustain their economies. She advocates for managing migration through "social investment" and inclusivity rather than brutality, ensuring that new arrivals are viewed as assets rather than threats.

STARMER tried to wreck the UK in 2025 — WHY? Can 2026 be better? #Starmer #UKPolitics #ElFattah #GeneralElectionNow #LIVE #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV Let's stop pretending this was an accident. 2025 has been a disaster — and Keir Starmer owns every inch of it. Broken pledges. Cowardly U-turns. Empty slogans followed by total retreat. A Prime Minister who talks "tough" until the moment toughness is required — then vanishes. Britain was promised stability. What we got was managed decline. Brits working harder for less. Communities ignored. Borders still out of control. A political class obsessed with looking virtuous while the country frays at the edges. And then — the moment that summed it all up — Starmer lets El Fattah into the UK. At a time when public trust is collapsing, when people are crying out for common sense and backbone, this government chooses arrogance over accountability. It felt like a slap in the face. Another reminder that ordinary British people are last in the queue. Today we stop swallowing the nonsense. This debate puts Starmer's record on trial: Were the failures of 2025 incompetence — or ideology? Why does Starmer always cave when it matters? Is this government even capable of putting Britain first? And as next May's elections loom, let's make one thing absolutely clear: We do NOT want a reshuffle. We do NOT want a rebrand. We do NOT want another hollow replacement. Britain needs a GENERAL ELECTION. Britain needs fresh ideas, not recycled failures. Britain needs leadership that puts BRITAIN AND THE BRITISH FIRST — without apology. No more excuses. No more gaslighting. No more being told decline is "progress". This is raw. This is angry. This is live. No scripts. No safe answers. No hiding places. If you're furious — good. If you disagree — come and face it. Britain's had enough. Let's talk — properly — for once. #KeirStarmer #Starmer #UKPolitics #BritishPolitics #StarmerFailures #StarmerUTurns #LabourGovernment #Britain2025 #UKCrisis #BorderCrisis #ElFattah #GeneralElectionNow #MayElections #BritainFirst #PutBritainFirst #PoliticalDebate #LiveDebate #LIVE #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV Keir Starmer, Starmer UK, UK politics, British politics, Starmer failures, Starmer U turns, Labour government, Britain 2025, UK crisis, border crisis, El Fattah UK, General Election now, May elections UK, Britain first, put Britain first, political debate, live debate, LIVE, Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 29, 2025. 0:30 The Trump administration is making it clear that nothing is off the table — including student loans. After years of COVID-era pauses and repeated promises of mass loan forgiveness under Democrats, the Department of Education is restarting enforcement in a big way. Beginning January 7, 2026, borrowers who have been in default for at least 270 days will start receiving wage-garnishment notices, with up to 15% of their pay withheld after a mandatory 30-day warning period. This move is about restoring accountability after Washington trained millions of borrowers to believe student loans would never have to be repaid. Federal control of student lending exploded college costs, trapped borrowers in debt they can’t discharge through bankruptcy, and unfairly shifted the burden onto taxpayers — especially working-class Americans who paid their loans responsibly, chose cheaper schools, or skipped college entirely. Critics warn it could anger some young voters, but others see it as long-overdue fairness: if you borrowed the money, you repay it. The larger message is unmistakable — consequences are back, and the federal government may finally be stepping out of the student loan business altogether. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US struck a Venezuelan port over the weekend. The department of Justice says the suspect in the attempted bombings of both the Republican and Democratic National Headquarters in Washington D.C. on January 5th, 2021 has confessed. California has dropped its lawsuit against the Trump Administration for pulling funding from it's high speed train project. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 An independent journalist’s reporting is putting a harsh spotlight on staggering incompetence and massive fraud inside Minnesota’s daycare subsidy system. YouTuber Nick Shirley released video showing dozens of state-funded daycare centers, primarily in Minneapolis’ Somali community, that are allegedly being paid to care for large numbers of children, in some cases as many as 95 per location, despite no children being visible on site. If accurate, the scale of the alleged fraud could total hundreds of millions of dollars. While some aspects of Shirley’s approach have drawn criticism for being overly sensational, the core reporting raises serious questions the state has yet to answer. Locked doors, blacked-out windows, and empty facilities don’t automatically prove wrongdoing, but the absence of clear evidence that these centers are operating as claimed is alarming. Compounding the issue is Governor Tim Walz’s shifting response — initially dismissing calls for scrutiny as racist, only for his office later to claim the state has been investigating the issue for years. The contradiction fuels concerns that political defensiveness, rather than transparency, has defined Minnesota’s handling of the situation. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a timeless and uncomfortable question: do people ever really grow out of being bullies? Drawing from personal experience, the Mamas reflect on how bullying doesn’t always disappear with age — it often just changes form. From middle school hallways to college campuses and even retirement communities, the same cliques, cruelty, and power plays can resurface decades later. The conversation explores the difference between “mean girls” and true bullying, and how time and perspective can turn anger into compassion — especially for those who do the work to grow and evolve. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Newly declassified documents confirm what many suspected about the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago: even the FBI did not believe it had probable cause, but moved forward anyway under intense pressure from the Biden Justice Department. Agents raised concerns about the legality and optics of the raid, yet those objections were dismissed in a single-minded effort to “get Trump,” regardless of constitutional limits or institutional damage. 26:30 We Dig Deep into new data that challenges a long-standing talking point on the left about illegal immigrant crime. According to a New York Post column by Dr. John Lott Jr., Department of Homeland Security data shows that illegal immigrants make up roughly 14 percent of those incarcerated in New York—despite representing only a small fraction of the state’s population. That translates to conviction rates nearly three times higher than those of native New Yorkers, including serious violent and sexual offenses. Lax border enforcement sends a dangerous message that the law is optional—starting at the border and spreading everywhere else. Sanctuary policies shield criminals from ICE, driving up crime and forcing taxpayers to absorb massive costs for incarceration, healthcare, and welfare support. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Activist groups are calling on AT&T to cut ties with federal agencies like DHS, ICE, and Customs and Border Protection, as if enforcing immigration law is a moral crime. These pressure campaigns have real-world consequences. AT&T has worked with the federal government for decades and severing those contracts would likely cost American jobs with no effect on immigration enforcement itself. 36:00 New research links the decline of religious participation in the United States to a rise in what researchers call “deaths of despair,” including suicides, drug overdoses, and alcohol-related disease. According to a study published in the Journal of the European Economic Association, these troubling mortality trends began increasing in the early 1990s, following a measurable drop in faith and religious engagement. Practices tied to religion—such as prayer, meditation, moral reflection, and community worship—help strengthen emotional regulation, resilience, and a sense of meaning. When those practices fade, they are often replaced by substitutes that offer stimulation without purpose, distraction without fulfillment, or treatment without addressing the deeper spiritual void. Faith is more than preparation for the next life. It is a source of comfort, connection, and stability in this one, and that's a Bright Spot. 39:30 We break down Nancy Pelosi’s decision to tear up President Trump’s State of the Union address. The act was not merely a political jab at Trump, but a direct insult to the institution of the presidency, Congress, and the American people. 41:30 And we finish off with a record-breaking kiss under the mistletoe that will make you say, "Whoa!"

more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-12-29-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Kata az ablak mellett ült a kis, hangulatos kávézóban, ahonnan csodálatos kilátás nyílt a Duna jeges vizére és a Lánchíd ragyogó fényeire.En: Kata sat by the window in the small, cozy café, from where there was a wonderful view of the icy waters of the Duna and the glowing lights of the Lánchíd.Hu: Körülötte emberek vidáman csevegtek, poharukat emelgették, nevetésük betöltötte a teret.En: Around her, people chatted merrily, raised their glasses, their laughter filling the space.Hu: Kint a hó halkan hullt, betakarta Budapest utcáit, varázslatos téli hangulatot teremtve.En: Outside, the snow fell quietly, blanketing the streets of Budapest, creating a magical winter atmosphere.Hu: Zsófi ott ült Kata mellett, próbálta megnyugtatni a barátnőjét.En: Zsófi sat next to Kata, trying to comfort her friend.Hu: "Tudom, hogy nehéz, Kata, de Bence szeret téged" – mondta Zsófi kedvesen, miközben kezeit melegen összefogta Kata hideg kezeivel.En: "I know it's hard, Kata, but Bence loves you," Zsófi said kindly, warmly clasping Kata's cold hands with hers.Hu: Kata szemei a kávéja gőzölgő felszínét pásztázták.En: Kata's eyes scanned the steaming surface of her coffee.Hu: Bence, a szerelme, hónapokkal ezelőtt Londonba költözött a munkája miatt.En: Bence, her love, had moved to London months ago because of his work.Hu: A távolság nyomasztó volt, és a folyamatos időeltérések nehézkesek.En: The distance was oppressive, and the constant time differences were difficult.Hu: Az ünnepek alatt ez az érzés még égetőbbé vált.En: During the holidays, this feeling became even more intense.Hu: Hiányzott neki Bence társasága, közelsége.En: She missed Bence's company, his closeness.Hu: Mindazonáltal Zsófi önzetlen támogatása segített, hogy ne érezze magát annyira egyedül.En: Nonetheless, Zsófi's selfless support helped her not feel so alone.Hu: Kata mély lélegzetet vett.En: Kata took a deep breath.Hu: "Úgy érzem, elveszítjük egymást" – vallotta be csendesen.En: "I feel like we're losing each other," she admitted quietly.Hu: "Számos dolgot nem oszthatunk meg, és néha úgy érzem, hogy a szeretet nem elég.En: "There are many things we can't share, and sometimes I feel like love isn't enough."Hu: "Zsófi megértően bólintott.En: Zsófi nodded understandingly.Hu: "Gondolkodtál már azon, hogy őszintén elmondod neki, hogy mit érzel?En: "Have you thought about honestly telling him how you feel?Hu: Talán még ma este?En: Maybe tonight?"Hu: "Kata elmosolyodott.En: Kata smiled.Hu: Az óra már közelített az éjfélhez.En: The clock was nearing midnight.Hu: Talán Zsófinak igaza van.En: Perhaps Zsófi was right.Hu: Talán meg kell próbálnia.En: Perhaps she should try.Hu: Amikor az óra elérte a tizenkettőt, és a városban az égbolton a tűzijátékok színes fényekkel robbantak, Kata elővette telefonját.En: When the clock struck twelve, and the fireworks burst with colorful lights in the sky above the city, Kata took out her phone.Hu: A szíve gyorsan vert, de mégis tárcsázta Bence számát.En: Her heart beat quickly, but she still dialed Bence's number.Hu: A vonal kicsengése végtelen időnek tűnt.En: The ringing felt like an eternity.Hu: Végül Bence fáradt, de szeretetteljes arca jelent meg a képernyőn.En: Eventually, Bence's tired but loving face appeared on the screen.Hu: "Boldog Új Évet, Kata!En: "Happy New Year, Kata!"Hu: " – kiáltotta vidáman.En: he exclaimed cheerfully.Hu: Kata nevetett, a könnyei megcsillantak a szemében, de ezúttal a remény és az öröm könnyei voltak.En: Kata laughed, tears shimmering in her eyes, but this time they were tears of hope and joy.Hu: "Boldog Új Évet, Bence!En: "Happy New Year, Bence!"Hu: " – válaszolta, miközben a tűzijáték színeiben fürdött a város.En: she replied, as the city was bathed in the colors of the fireworks.Hu: Abban a pillanatban, hogy nézték együtt a tűzijátékot – bár csak a képernyőn keresztül – rájött, hogy ezek a megosztott pillanatok számítanak a legtöbbet.En: In that moment, as they watched the fireworks together—even if only through the screen—she realized that these shared moments mattered the most.Hu: "Megéri, ugye?En: "It's worth it, isn't it?"Hu: " – suttogta, miközben a tűzijátékok utolsó robbanásai elültek.En: she whispered as the last explosions of fireworks faded away.Hu: Bence bólintott.En: Bence nodded.Hu: "Igen, megéri, és hamarosan újra együtt leszünk.En: "Yes, it's worth it, and we'll be together again soon."Hu: "Kata elmosolyodott, és érezte, hogy szíve megkönnyebbül.En: Kata smiled, feeling her heart lighten.Hu: A távolság még mindig ott volt, de a remény, a szeretet és a közös ígéretek felülírták azokat az akadályokat.En: The distance was still there, but hope, love, and their shared promises outweighed those obstacles.Hu: Az új év új lehetőségekkel kecsegtetett, és Kata elhatározta, hogy megbirkózik a távolsággal, mert ezek a pillanatok jelentettek mindent számára.En: The new year held new opportunities, and Kata resolved to cope with the distance because these moments meant everything to her.

Catholic immigration reshaped the early United States long before Ellis Island. This episode follows the people pulled into the new nation through shifting borders, and the millions pushed across the Atlantic by famine, poverty, political upheaval, and limited opportunity. From the French traders of the Old Northwest to Mexican Tejanos, from German radicals to Irish famine survivors, we explore how faith, identity, and movement transformed a rapidly expanding country. #HistoryPodcast #CatholicHistory #USHistory #IrishImmigration #GermanImmigration #TexasHistory #EarlyAmerica #PapacyPodcastSupport the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: http://patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book: http://bit.ly/40ckJ8EHave questions, comments or feedback?

Increasingly, people travel and communicate across borders. Yet, we still know little about the overall structure of this transnational world. Is it really a fully globalized world in which everything is linked, as popular catchphrases like “global village” suggest? Through a sweeping comparative analysis of eight types of mobility and communication among countries worldwide—from migration and tourism to Facebook friendships and phone calls—Mapping the Transnational World demonstrates that our behavior is actually regionalized, not globalized.Emanuel Deutschmann shows that transnational activity within world regions is not so much the outcome of political, cultural, or economic factors, but is driven primarily by geographic distance. He explains that the spatial structure of transnational human activity follows a simple mathematical function, the power law, a pattern that also fits the movements of many other animal species on the planet. Moreover, this pattern remained extremely stable during the five decades studied—1960 to 2010. Unveiling proximity-induced regionalism as a major feature of planet-scale networks of transnational human activity, Deutschmann provides a crucial corrective to several fields of research.Revealing why a truly global society is unlikely to emerge, Mapping the Transnational World highlights the essential role of interaction beyond borders on a planet that remains spatially fragmented. This interview was conducted by Dr. Hannah Pool, a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Studies of Societies. Her research focuses on human mobilities and her new book has just been published (2025, Oxford University Press).  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with activist and self-described decolonisation campaigner Xavier Soylash for a confrontational interview on radical identity politics, gender ideology, communism, and the future of Britain.We examine claims that the Union Jack is a symbol of fascism worse than the Nazi flag, the rejection of biological sex, and the argument that borders, nationhood, and private property are colonial constructs that must be abolished. This conversation follows the logic of modern progressive ideology taken to its most extreme conclusions.Soylash defends Marxism, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao, dismisses historical death tolls as Western propaganda, and argues that communism has never truly been tried because the left has never gone far enough. We debate decolonisation, gender identity, radical inclusivity, and whether ideology has replaced evidence, history, and common sense.The discussion also covers Ukraine, the Azov Battalion, COVID boosters, mass migration, open borders, polyamory, and cousin marriage, revealing the worldview driving the most radical elements of today's political left.A tense and revealing interview that exposes how far identity politics has gone and asks whether radical progressivism ultimately collapses under the weight of its own contradictions.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 – Introduction 02:24 – Decolonisation, the Union Jack & British History06:41 – Marxism, Lenin, Stalin & the Radical Left Worldview11:18 – Gender Identity, Biology & Self-Identification16:24 – Ukraine, the Azov Battalion & Progressive Activism at War20:42 – Covid, Boosters & Pandemic Ideology21:57 – Mass Migration, Borders & Private Property26:02 – Cousin Marriage, Genetic Risk & Social Taboo29:42 – Polyamory, Relationships & the End of Marriage32:41 – Final Exchange Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode we discuss internal border delimitation in the early Soviet Union. Our discussion covers a wide geography - from Central Asia to the South Caucasus to the Ukrainian-Russia borderlands. How did internal borders get delimited after the establishment of Soviet power in the 1920s and 30s? What role did borders play in nation building? And how do economic factors shape the border delimitation process?Our guest today is Stephan Rindlisbacher author of the book Borders in Red: Managing Diversity in the Early Soviet Unionhttps://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501780585/borders-in-red/Stephan Rindlisbacher (European University Viadrina Frankfurt, Oder) is a researcher specializing in Eurasian history. In his ongoing projects, he focuses on the early Soviet state's national policies and their regional implementation. This includes Ukraine, the South Caucasus and Central Asia.

Increasingly, people travel and communicate across borders. Yet, we still know little about the overall structure of this transnational world. Is it really a fully globalized world in which everything is linked, as popular catchphrases like “global village” suggest? Through a sweeping comparative analysis of eight types of mobility and communication among countries worldwide—from migration and tourism to Facebook friendships and phone calls—Mapping the Transnational World demonstrates that our behavior is actually regionalized, not globalized.Emanuel Deutschmann shows that transnational activity within world regions is not so much the outcome of political, cultural, or economic factors, but is driven primarily by geographic distance. He explains that the spatial structure of transnational human activity follows a simple mathematical function, the power law, a pattern that also fits the movements of many other animal species on the planet. Moreover, this pattern remained extremely stable during the five decades studied—1960 to 2010. Unveiling proximity-induced regionalism as a major feature of planet-scale networks of transnational human activity, Deutschmann provides a crucial corrective to several fields of research.Revealing why a truly global society is unlikely to emerge, Mapping the Transnational World highlights the essential role of interaction beyond borders on a planet that remains spatially fragmented. This interview was conducted by Dr. Hannah Pool, a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Studies of Societies. Her research focuses on human mobilities and her new book has just been published (2025, Oxford University Press).  Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textInside Geneva joins aid workers staying in Ukraine this December. The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) supports tens of thousands of people whose homes have been damaged or destroyed.Marcel van Maastrigt, UNHCR, Odessa: ‘At two in the afternoon you might have an air alert, and at three in the afternoon people in shops and restaurants are putting up Christmas decorations, because they want to continue their life. I think it's understandable.'MSF (Doctors without Borders) works in hospitals on the front line.Robin Meldrum, MSF, Ukraine: ‘Today I had electricity in my flat a few hours in the afternoon when I was at work, not here at home. The electricity is going to be off until about 11:00 until 2:00 in the morning. I'll have 3 or 4 hours of electricity tomorrow but it's wearing, it's tiring.'Aid workers share the risks with their Ukrainian colleagues.Robin Meldrum: ‘During the night there was a massive attack by Shahed drones and guided aerial bombs. One of the guided aerial bombs landed just about 35 or 40 metres from the two guest houses where our staff were living.'They share the festive season too.Marcel van Maastrigt: ‘There is a real effort to make it look like everything is normal, and to have the decorations, have the music outside, have the food. Sometimes people go to parties. It's nice to walk through town and see that happening. It gives some hope that this might in the end be better.'There are 130 conflicts around the world today, affecting millions of people. This holiday season, thousands of aid workers are staying put, hoping to make things a little better.Get in touch!

The President's address to the nation last night was a smorgasboard of his favorite hits. He railed against former President Biden and touted questionable economic numbers. He did announce a bonus for members of the military. His so called "Warrior Dividend" will be paid for by his controversial tariff policies, without the approval of Congress. We will talk about Trump's odd speech and about the latest release of pictures related to Jeffrey Epstein. Former Federal Prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz will join the conversation to talk about Friday's deadline for the Epstein Files and Ghislaine Maxwell's efforts to get out of her prison camp.

In this conversation, the veneer of political continuity is stripped back to reveal a world drifting toward harder borders, sharper identities and a reshaping of power once thought unthinkable. Gary Gerstle traces the erosion of the neoliberal order and the rise of a political logic that places national strength above universal norms. He examines how affordability stress, authoritarian impulses and fragmented parties are redrawing economic life and democratic expectations. The discussion widens into a global map of competing hegemons and the uneasy choices facing Europe and the United States. What emerges is a portrait of a century unsettled, yet not without agency.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on LinkedIn.Follow Gary on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Opening remarks on a shifting world and national security visions00:44 - Introduction to Top Traders Unplugged and context for the discussion01:40 - Framing the global macro environment and the need for deeper perspectives02:24 - Introducing Gary Gerstle and his work on political and economic orders04:00 - Defining the end of the neoliberal era and what has replaced it07:02 - The tension between authoritarian forces and liberal democratic hopes08:17 - Democracy under strain and the implications of Trump's second term10:06 - Shock, discipline and the early strategic force of Trump...

STARMER: Stand Down Now to Save the UK | General Election NOW  #Starmer #UKPolitics #LabourParty #StarmerOUT #GeneralElection #JonGaunt #Live Keir  Starmer's end-of-year review has exposed a brutal truth: he may be Prime Minister, but he is not in control.  Approval ratings in the gutter. A Labour Party briefing against its own leader. MPs openly restless. And now, heading into Christmas, doctors preparing to strike, pushing the NHS deeper into chaos. Starmer promised seriousness, authority and competence.  What the country is seeing instead is drift, division and weakness. Borders still not secure. Small boats still crossing. A so-called "one-in, one-out" deal with France that sounds tough but delivers little. Leadership pledges quietly abandoned. Principles rewritten when they become inconvenient.  Even Starmer himself admitted today that his leadership is under strain — a staggering admission from a man sold as the "safe pair of hands".  This is leadership by press release. Government without grip. A Prime Minister in office but not in control. Everything he touches seems to go wrong — the reverse Midas touch. And now his own MPs are circling, because they know what the public already feels: this government is running on empty.  Britain cannot afford paralysis, party games and permanent crisis. If Starmer cannot lead, he should stand down. If this government cannot govern, the people must decide. General Election NOW.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – America faces defining choices on borders, safety, and local leadership. This piece urges honest vetting, secure communities, and compassion without naivety. It calls neighbors to reject extremes, engage locally, vote, volunteer, and run for office. Real change begins in towns, guided by faith, family, and patriotism, acting now rather than waiting on Washington to strengthen communities and protect...

Rich people are not like us–they have more money. And mega-rich people? They not only have more money, but they hide it “offshore,” to avoid detection by the tax man, law enforcement, creditors, divorce lawyers, and, sometimes, their fellow citizens whose collective coffers they've plundered.In this conversation, Greg Olear speaks with the economic sociology professor Brooke Harrington, author of Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism, about the murky world of offshore finance, its implications for global inequality, the challenges of studying the ultra-rich, the culture of competitive depravity among the wealthy, and the dangers of their influence on both democracy and capitalism. They also discuss the looming AI bubble, the true purpose of AI, Jeffrey Epstein, and why studying the humanities is so vital.Brooke Harrington is Professor of Economic Sociology at Dartmouth College. Since 2007, she has examined inequality from the top end of the socio-economic spectrum—a research program inaugurated by her training for two years to become a certified offshore wealth manager. Her previous book—Capital without Borders —won the “Outstanding Book” award from the Inequality, Poverty and Mobility section of the American Sociological Association. She advises the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, EU Parliament, and the tax agencies of countries across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. Her latest book, Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism, was named a “Best Book” of 2024 by the Financial Times.Follow Brooke:https://bsky.app/profile/ebharrington.bsky.socialVisit her website:https://brookeharrington.com/Buy the book:https://brookeharrington.com/books/offshore-book/Please subscribe to PREVAIL on Substack.

Over the course of a decade in politics Rory Stewart saw how power really works and what forces drive our communities apart. He was a backbench MP, held several ministerial positions, and stood for prime minister – before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise. Now, well away from the political arena, he regularly shares his insights into current affairs and global politics as co-host of the UK's leading political podcast, The Rest Is Politics. In October he came to Intelligence Squared to discuss the state of Britain and the world today. He drew from his new book 'Middleland: Dispatches from the Borders' to discuss his decade as MP of one of Britain's most rural constituencies, Penrith and The Border. And he argued that to truly create a better future for all we must understand the tensions that exist between rural and urban, between farming and the natural world, between the need to preserve and to grow, and between local and national politics. Bridges must – and can – be built, he argued. The event was hosted by former MP and author Caroline Lucas.
