Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Donald Trump's collapsing approval numbers, as new polling from The Economist shows his net rating falling to -18, the lowest it has ever been—even lower than any point in his first term. They discuss what's driving the drop, from voter fatigue to economic fallout, and what it means for Trump's reelection odds. Kander and Gupta also dive into a new Reuters report revealing the Trump family raked in over $800 million from crypto ventures in just the first half of 2025, even as Trump pardoned Binance CEO CZ Zhao in a move critics call blatant corruption, analyzing how the pardon fits into Trump's broader pattern of rewarding allies and dismantling financial oversight. Then, they turn to Washington's ongoing chaos as the government shutdown drags on, with Marjorie Taylor Greene turning on Speaker Mike Johnson and demanding Republicans unveil a real health care plan, and examine Democrats' surprising restraint in Illinois and Maryland redistricting fights, and how internal debates over power and principle are shaping both parties' futures. Plus, they break down the Senate's rare bipartisan rebuke of Trump's Brazil tariffs, a sign that even some Republicans are losing patience with his economic nationalism.

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping have met for the first time since 2019 to discuss a possible truce in the US-China trade war. The leaders of the world's two biggest economies shook hands and spoke of friendship ahead of the "amazing" meeting in South Korea. President Trump said they agreed a cut in tariffs and a rare earth minerals deal. Also: the US says it will begin testing its nuclear weapons to keep up with Russia and China; Hurricane Melissa moves towards the Bahamas and Cuba after causing unprecedented devastation in Jamaica; Brazil's president condemns the police raid that killed more than 130 people in Rio de Janeiro; the long lost wolf spider is re-discovered in the UK; what drives those who want to live forever; and the art of presidential gift giving.

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates again but Fed Chair Jerome Powell had a warning for Wall Street. The Wall Street Journal reports rates are now at their lowest in in three years. A judge in Chicago ordered ICE’s commander leading operations in the city to report to court daily for briefings on the use of force — an order that was paused just before the first check-in. The Chicago Tribune’s, Jason Meisner explains. Police in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil carried out the largest raid against a drug gang in the city’s history leaving at least 132 dead. AFP reports the action drew swift condemnation. Plus, a new report suggests how much healthcare costs could be about to rise for millions of people, Jamaica begins to asses damage from hurricane Melissa, and how a new book by Dr. Seuss was discovered. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

Today's Headlines: Hurricane Melissa tore through the Caribbean just as feared, leaving dozens dead and catastrophic damage across Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti before weakening to a Category 1 on its way to the Bahamas. Nearly 80% of Jamaica is still without power, and hundreds remain missing across the islands. In Gaza, Israel resumed airstrikes that killed around 100 people after a soldier was shot in Rafah — but quickly announced the ceasefire was back on. Hamas says it's delaying the return of hostage remains in response to the strikes. Trump, meanwhile, is still globe-trotting — now in South Korea, where he announced the U.S. will share sensitive nuclear submarine technology, one of the country's most tightly guarded military secrets. This comes months after North Korea bragged about its own nuclear-powered sub. Back home, a new Pentagon memo ordered all 50 states, D.C., and U.S. territories to form “quick reaction forces” — over 23,000 National Guard troops trained for riot control — to respond to potential unrest. The administration also indicted its first Gen Z political figure: 26-year-old Illinois Democrat Kat Abughazaleh, charged with assaulting an ICE officer during a protest — charges that could carry up to 14 years in prison. On the money front, the Senate symbolically voted against Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazil (which won't actually change anything), the Fed cut interest rates another 0.25%, and the shutdown continues as millions risk losing food aid. The Dow hit a record 48,000 — mostly thanks to AI stocks — even as layoffs surge at UPS, Nestlé, and Amazon. And in some good news for once, philanthropist Mackenzie Scott donated $60 million to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and another $38 million to Alabama State University — the largest gift in the HBCU's 158-year history.

Join us as we start our Live talk with the U Haul truck inccident in San Francisco attempting to ram Coast Guardsmen and federal agents. We then shift over to the Trump-Xi meeting that is taking place to hopefully put to rest the tariff war between the two countries. Speaking of Trump, 24 states are now sueing him for the halt on SNAP benifits, although we next discuss how multiple Democrats acknowledge that this halt (and the government shut down as a whole) are being used as political leverage despite how many people it will effect. We then shift over to the hurricane that demolished Jamaica, then we debunk the Venezuelan claims that Maduro has captured CIA agents attempting to set up a false flag operation. The Russian president is touting that they have now created a weapon that no one else on earth has, a nuclear powered missle! I guess they are unaware that America developed this technology already and scrubbed it because it's stupid...back in 1961! Isreal has reattacked Gaza killing over 100 people, then says it will continue the cease fire, over an alleged scandal involving the return of hostage remains that have already been returned two years ago. We then shift over to Sudan and discuss the genocide that is un folding there by the RSF, before we finish off talking about the massive gang raids that are taking place in Brazil killing 136 gang members by police and military forces.To join in on the conversation next week, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

Charlotte Foster, royal reporter for the Daily Mirror, tells Jennifer Newton how two weeks of scandal for the former Duke of York is enough to fill a year of news.

Tara exposes Barack Obama's chilling new push for what he calls “The New Journalism” — a rebranding of government-controlled censorship disguised as media reform. From secret meetings between Obama, the CIA's John Brennan, Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center, and global leaders in Europe, Brazil, and Australia, a plan is forming to create a worldwide censorship regime that overrides the U.S. Constitution and silences conservative voices before the 2028 election. Tara unpacks the details — the billion-dollar funding, the “Brussels Effect” enforcement mechanism, and how even platforms like 4chan and X are being targeted for elimination. They call it “new journalism.” We call it the end of free speech. Barack Obama, global censorship, new journalism, free speech, Stanford Cyber Policy Center, John Brennan, Project Liberty Institute, world government, EU censorship, tech regulation, Elon Musk, X, 4chan, media control, First Amendment, 2028 election, Tara Show, political suppression, information governance board, Biden administration, deep state In this alarming episode, Tara dives deep into Barack Obama's recent comments about “experimenting with new forms of journalism” — a statement that sounds harmless until you see what's behind it. She reveals a network of former intelligence officials, Silicon Valley elites, and foreign governments working to establish a single, global censorship system under the guise of fighting “misinformation.” Backed by half a billion dollars in funding and coordinated by Stanford's Cyber Policy Center, the effort would pressure tech companies like Google and X to comply or face massive financial penalties. Tara connects the dots between these censorship schemes, the failed “Disinformation Governance Board,” and Obama's renewed public push to silence dissent. It's Orwell come to life — and it's happening now.

Tara exposes a chilling plan to reshape global free speech. From Obama's recent announcements to secretive international meetings, she unpacks how governments and Big Tech aim to control what is considered “fact” and limit public opinion—especially conservative voices. With examples from Europe, the UK, Brazil, California, and Australia, Tara reveals the looming threat of a worldwide censorship regime, enforced through legal pressure, market power, and digital backdoors. She explains why this matters for Americans and why free speech could soon be under unprecedented threat.

U.S. President Donald Trump shaves China tariffs after an “amazing” meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The last 24 hours have seen three important developments, both legal and political, that spell real trouble for Donald Trump and his administration.First: the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the lower court opinion in which two Trump-appointed judges decided Trump should be able to militarize the streets of Portland, Oregon. The appeals court will now sit in judgement en banc (full court) and hopefully put a more permanent stop to Trump's attempts to send troops into Portland based on Trump's "assertions that are untethered to the facts," as the trial court judge found.Second: As NPR reported, "Senate Republicans deal Trump a rare rebuke on trade with vote against Brazil tariffs."And Third: a federal judge in California ruled that the US Attorney for the Middle District of California was appointed unlawfully by Trump. This ruling has important implications for the prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James, and may result in those cases being dismissed.For Glenn's Substack: hhtps://glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

August 20, 1966. Niteroi, Brazil. The bodies of a pair of electronics technicians, 34-year old Miguel Jose Viana and 32-year old Manuel Pereira da Cruz, are discovered on the top of Vintem Hill and they are carrying a pair of lead masks and some cryptic notes about ingesting capsules. Three days earlier, the two men had travelled to Niteroi from their homes in Campos dos Goytacazes over 260 kilometres away, but there is no direct evidence of foul play and the authorities are unable to determine their cause of death. There are a number of theories about what happened, including speculation that the two men's deaths might be connected to UFO sightings from the area, but the whole situation is never satisfactorily explained and remains shrouded in mystery. For this year's Halloween-themed episode, “The Trail Went Cold” is finally tackling one of the most bizarre unsolved mysteries of all time: the Lead Masks Case.

The right-wing governor of Rio state in Brazil has praised Tuesday's controversial anti-gang operation, in which more than a-hundred and thirty people were killed. Claudio Castro said the only victims were the four police officers who died. Two- and- a half thousand police and soldiers took part in the raids against the Red Command. Major gun battles erupted in two Rio favelas in the biggest security operation in the history of Rio state. Brazil's centre-left President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva said he was surprised an operation of this scale was set up without the knowledge of the federal government.Also in the programme: the Netherlands head to the polls; and a deep dive into presents for US Presidents.(Photo: Mourners react as people gather around bodies.

With the constitutionality of Trump imposing tariffs without the backing of Congress headed to the Supreme Court, legislators finally seem to be taking the matter back into their own hands. Five Senate Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the president's use of emergency powers to impose 50% tariffs on Brazil.

In this episode, Casey sits down with Daniel O'Donnal, Owner of Saela Pest Control, for a deeply human conversation on leadership, identity, and what it means to build something meant to last. From bootstrapping a business from scratch to a nine-figure exit, Daniel reflects on 17 years of grit, partnership, and the belief that real success is measured by the lives you impact, not just the profits you earn.He shares lessons learned from his partners, Andrew and Blaine Richardson, and the moments that nearly broke them; going without paychecks, homes on the line, and the humility of starting over. But the heart of this episode is not the sale; it is the story behind it. Daniel opens up about faith, mentorship, and adoption, and how the calling to expand his family changed everything he thought he knew about love, leadership, and capacity.This conversation explores what happens after the win, how to reframe identity beyond achievement, and why the best leaders make others believe in themselves first.

CannCon and Ashe in America take on a packed news day in this sharp and often hilarious edition of Badlands Daily. From the legal battles over Trump-appointed prosecutors to a former Army sergeant's treasonous attempt to sell secrets to China, they unpack how corruption and incompetence continue to collide in Washington. The hosts dive into the rise of “democratic socialism,” exposing how corporate power and government collusion have replaced true capitalism in America. They tackle Congress's reversal of Trump's Brazil tariffs, DOJ investigations into Trump allies under “Operation Arctic Frost,” and the suspiciously garbled FBI documents raising questions about AI and declassification. The conversation heats up around Amazon's massive AI layoffs, universal basic income, and the government shutdown threatening SNAP benefits, revealing how dependency and control go hand-in-hand. Equal parts humor and hard truth, this episode cuts through media spin to show how faith, freedom, and discernment are the real countermeasures to globalist chaos.

This week on Cleaning Up, we welcome back Rachel Kyte, the UK's Special Representative for Climate Change, for a deep dive into the shifting landscape of global climate diplomacy ahead of COP30 in Belém, Brazil.Rachel brings decades of experience — from leading Sustainable Energy for All under Ban Ki-Moon to senior roles at the World Bank and IFC — to unpack how countries, investors, and institutions are navigating the new era of implementation.Together, Michael and Rachel explore:How the UK is re-engaging globally on climate and energy policy.The evolution of climate finance and why capital still struggles to flow into emerging markets.Which path the world will follow, the US petrostate model, or China's electrostate model.Why investing in grids, governance, and infrastructure is still missing from the energy transition.What to expect at COP30 — from forest finance to a possible rethink of the annual COP model.And how countries from Africa to Asia are shaping their own pathways to clean growth and energy security.Rachel also reflects on public attitudes, the politicization of climate action, and the need for pragmatic cooperation over rhetoric.Leadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Shakira's global stardom has blazed even brighter blending philanthropy art pop sensation and historical homecomings. According to AllHipHop and as widely covered in international news Shakira just joined superstar The Weeknd on the newly launched FIFA Global Citizen Education Board aimed at steering a 100 million dollar campaign to help children access education worldwide—a mission that is as ambitious as her artistic career. This huge initiative announced by FIFA and Global Citizen includes other luminaries like Serena Williams and Ivanka Trump and will leverage their combined platforms to reach 100000 kids in over 200 communities. With more than 350 million children currently out of school Shakira's involvement is being spotlighted as both strategic and deeply personal underscoring her ongoing dedication to social issues which look likely to define her legacy as much as her music.But it's not just in boardrooms and philanthropy where Shakira is making noise. The singer just performed two sold-out concerts in Cali Colombia over the past weekend creating what Spreaker described as a triumphant homecoming moment cheered on by fans and media alike. These concert dates come as part of Shakira's monumental Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour which began earlier this year in Brazil and is already setting records for attendance and gross receipts. Billions in production dollars are reportedly behind this globe-spanning tour which sees Shakira herself calling it the most ambitious of her career with bigger venues added across the Americas to meet overwhelming demand. Adjustments remain par for the course—recent cancellations included Miami and Inglewood due to local protests and San Antonio owing to venue issues—but each time she emerges back on stage to sold-out crowds and standing ovations. Her shows have featured surprise duets with Latin stars like Maluma Ozuna and Alejandro Sanz and this October she drew viral attention on Instagram sharing behind-the-scenes footage from her tour rehearsals clearly signaling her direct involvement in every stage detail.There is more on the horizon—NosEnchanteurs confirms Shakira's November will include three headline concerts in Ecuador lighting up a new swath of South American audiences. Social media has been ablaze with anticipation for these dates especially given her historic return to Colombia and the critical acclaim surrounding her 2024 album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. Pop culture coverage continues to be dominated by Shakira's life on and off stage with her activism concert spectacles and infectious social posts keeping her trending worldwide.

Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo analyze Javier Milei's decisive win in Argentina, viewing it as a model for Latin America and a victory for Donald Trump. The result signals a reduction of the "pink tide" and emergence of a "MAGA tide." Trump is leveraging trade talks to pressure Brazil's President Lula da Silva regarding Bolsonaro and alignment with China, reconfiguring power in the region.

SHOW 10-25-27 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT PAKISTAN FIRST HOUR 9-915 Afghan-Pakistan Peace Talks and the Imprisonment of Imran Khan. Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss Afghan-Pakistan peace talks, which are unlikely to achieve long-term peace as Pakistan feels "cocky." Trump's efforts are seen as ironic, given the issues stemming from the Doha agreement. Discussion turns to Imran Khan's imprisonment; the military fears his party's survival and aims to keep him from power. China's financial support for Pakistan is also noted as flagging. 915-930 Afghan-Pakistan Peace Talks and the Imprisonment of Imran Khan. Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss Afghan-Pakistan peace talks, which are unlikely to achieve long-term peace as Pakistan feels "cocky." Trump's efforts are seen as ironic, given the issues stemming from the Doha agreement. Discussion turns to Imran Khan's imprisonment; the military fears his party's survival and aims to keep him from power. China's financial support for Pakistan is also noted as flagging. 930-945 Israel Seeks Reliable Multinational Force to Prevent Hamas Resurgence in Gaza. David Daoud discusses Israel's primary concern regarding a multinational force in Gaza: ensuring its reliability to prevent Hamas's resurgence or rearmament. Hamas is reasserting control and slow-rolling the recovery of remaining hostages' bodies to establish the ceasefire. US drones monitor adherence to the ceasefire. Israel has ended the emergency status in the south, signaling a slow return to normal life. 945-1000 Iran Defies West on Nuclear Program Despite Loss of Key Scientists. Jonathan Schanzer discusses Iran's defiant nuclear program, noting the procurement of air defense systems from Russia and China is debatable. A major setback has been the loss of nuclear scientists due to targeted assassinations. Iran is heavily supporting the Houthis (now a full proxy), sending ballistic missile components and IRGC officials to help assemble them in Yemen. Snapback sanctions' impact on Iran's partnerships with Russia and China remains uncertain. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Hamas Slow-Rolls Hostage Returns to Avoid Disarmament, as Iran Remains Defiant. Malcolm Hoenlein discusses Hamas's slow-rolling of deceased hostage returns to avoid disarmament, a key condition of the peace talks. He notes Iran remains defiant, reconstituting its nuclear program at sites like Tehran 2 and using Georgia to evade sanctions. The discussion also covers the naming of a successor for PA President Abbas and highlights Javier Milei's landslide victory in Argentina as a stabilizing factor in South America. 1015-1030 Hamas Slow-Rolls Hostage Returns to Avoid Disarmament, as Iran Remains Defiant. Malcolm Hoenlein discusses Hamas's slow-rolling of deceased hostage returns to avoid disarmament, a key condition of the peace talks. He notes Iran remains defiant, reconstituting its nuclear program at sites like Tehran 2 and using Georgia to evade sanctions. The discussion also covers the naming of a successor for PA President Abbas and highlights Javier Milei's landslide victory in Argentina as a stabilizing factor in South America. 1030-1045 Russia Tests Nuclear Missile Amid Tough Winter and Increased US Sanctions. John Hardie analyzes Russia's reported successful test of the nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile. This test is likely aimed at pressuring the US into arms control talks, rather than impacting the Ukraine battlefield. On the ground, the situation in Pokrovsk has deteriorated due to Russian infiltration. The US has shifted from diplomacy to pressure, imposing sanctions on major Russian oil companies. 1045-1100 Anti-Hamas Clans and Militias Challenge Hamas's Control in Gaza. Ahmad Sharawi discusses the challenge to Hamas's power in Gaza by anti-Hamas clans and militias, some allegedly backed by Israel. Groups like the Dughmush clan and Yasser Abu Shabbab's Popular Forces contest Hamas's control and monopolization of aid. Hamas deters these rivals, labeling them "collaborators," as Gaza fragments into controlled pockets or "bantustans." THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Poised to De-escalate Trade Dispute with Trump. Conrad Black analyzes the US-Canada trade dispute ignited by Ontario Premier Doug Ford's ad criticizing US tariffs. Black notes that while Ford was "cheeky," President Trump overreacted by suspending negotiations and mandating 10% tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney, seen as a diplomatic and well-informed figure, is expected to de-escalate the issue and work toward a reasonable agreement at the upcoming Asian conference. 1115-1130 AQAP Targets Anti-Houthi Forces Amidst Cooperation with Houthis and Iran. Bridget Toomey reports on AQAP's attack on anti-Houthi Yemeni soldiers. AQAP and the Houthis have an informal non-aggression agreement, sometimes cooperating on weapon smuggling. Iran supplies advanced arms to the Houthis and has maintained a relationship with al-Qaeda leadership for two decades. This cooperation, despite sectarian differences, aims to destabilize Yemen and the region. 1130-1145 Milei's Libertarian Win in Argentina Signals 'MAGA Tide' in Latin America. Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo analyze Javier Milei's decisive win in Argentina, viewing it as a model for Latin America and a victory for Donald Trump. The result signals a reduction of the "pink tide" and emergence of a "MAGA tide." Trump is leveraging trade talks to pressure Brazil's President Lula da Silva regarding Bolsonaro and alignment with China, reconfiguring power in the region. 1145-1200 Milei's Libertarian Win in Argentina Signals 'MAGA Tide' in Latin America.

The result signals a reduction of the "pink tide" and emergence of a "MAGA tide." Trump is leveraging trade talks to pressure Brazil's President Lula da Silva regarding Bolsonaro and alignment with China, reconfiguring power in the region. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215    US Pressure on Xi Jinping May Lead to Release of Jimmy Lai. Mark Simon is encouraged that President Trump plans to raise the fate of persecuted publisher Jimmy Lai with Xi Jinping. Simon believes China must resolve the "Jimmy Lai problem" but will likely demand concessions, such as sanctions relief. Lai's release, potentially via a humanitarian or commuted sentence route, would pave the way for the release of hundreds of other Hong Kong dissidents. 1215-1230 Trump's Tariff Policy Gains Victory in Trade Truce with China. Alan Tonelson assesses the US-China trade truce, viewing it as a major victory for President Trump's tariff policies. China agreed to delay rare earth export controls and buy US farm goods. This move is seen as desperate by Xi Jinping, whose economy is undermined by US technology curbs. China's predatory practices defined the relationship until Trump decided to use American leverage. 1230-1245 vUS Tariffs Drive Canada Toward Greater Economic Integration with China. Charles Burton discusses how US tariff aggression, fueled by Premier Doug Ford quoting Ronald Reagan to criticize US trade policy, is pushing Canada toward China. The uncertainty over Trump's response makes negotiating difficult, prompting speculation Canada may renew free trade talks with Beijing, remove investment restrictions, and possibly join the Belt and Road Initiative. 1245-100 AM Trump Demands Higher Defense Spending from New Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi. Lance Gatling reports on President Trump's visit to Tokyo and his meeting with the new Prime Minister, Takaichi. Trump is expected to demand increased defense spending. Takaichi plans to accelerate doubling the defense budget to 2% of GDP. A major concern is Trump asking Japan to stop buying energy from Russia, which supplies Japanese LNG. Takaichi enjoys surprisingly strong domestic support.

Throwbacks are where I re-release old episodes from the archives. So don't worry if you have heard it already, as 'New episodes' will continue to come out on Sundays. To get some of the old episodes heard.~~~Our first guest today is Steve Hackett from the UK, and former guitarist of the British band Genesis, and Steve has been kind enough to come on between tours to share his UFO experience. While standing on Itaipu Beach in Niterói, Brazil, he witnessed, with several others, a strange configuration of red lights ascending into the sky. The UFO case was also reported in the local newspaper, as many others had reported seeing the objects along the edges of Niterói. Then we head to Virginia in the United States to speak with Catherine about her paranormal experiences, starting with one from her college days when she received a late night visit from a very recently passed friend that left her terrified; then the following night, Catherine's friend came to her in a dream.Steve Hackett's Website:https://www.hackettsongs.comMore information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-165-niteroi-ufos-a-friends-last-goodbye/Want to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastX: https://x.com/UFOchronpodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.

I jumped in on a LinkedIn conversation about wine, soil, volcano's and more. Thought I would contribute to the message string. That is when I engaged Diana on the concept of terroir. But not just any terroir, but volcanic terroir. Then I realized that Diana's expertise in the realm of wine...is the soil! She is a expert in energy and geophysics! Diana Kandiglian is the kind of guest who measures her excitement in bottles, not hours. If you've ever wondered what happens when a scientist who reads rocks for a living falls in love with wine, this episode is for you. You'll learn how Diana's background as a geophysicist shapes her curiosity about soils and terroir, and why she believes the best wines surprise you, just like life itself. Through her stories, you'll uncover why Armenia's volcanic soils produce wines unlike any other, how centuries-old vines navigate climate change, and why boutique winemaking has become the soul of the country's industry. Paul and Diana peel back layers of old world tradition and new world innovation, exploring appellations, indigenous grape varieties, and the risks of chasing global trends at the expense of authenticity. You'll be puzzled—but enlightened—by the paradox of Armenia's old vines and young winemakers, and why Diana advocates for some rules to keep the magic alive. There's a fascinating discussion of soil science, climate, and grape selection: from Texan clays to French boulders, you'll understand how the land whispers its secrets into every glass. You'll hear why the future of wine in both Armenia and unexpected places like Texas and Brazil depends on resilience, sustainable practices, and stories worth telling. If your palate craves complexity and your mind seeks narratives from every region, Diana's "Pour Across America" vision will inspire you to taste wines you've never imagined—and appreciate the intersection of science and soul in every sip. By the time you finish listening, you'll carry away a deeper understanding not only of Armenian wine, but of what it means to seek adventure, surprise, and connection in your glass.

The bill was vetoed by the governor. His articles have appeared in publications like: Earth Island Journal, National Catholic Reporter, Asia Times,

Sergio Carriel is a Brazilian missionary who has been serving in Africa for 19 years, starting in Mozambique and then expanding to other African countries like Malawi, Uganda, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Kenya. He has experienced many miracles and conversions during his evangelistic crusades in Africa, including healings and deliverance from demonic oppression. Carriel believes God is raising up a missionary force from Brazil to go to other nations, and he wants to inspire and encourage more Brazilian youth to become evangelists and missionaries. He has faced challenges in getting financial support from churches in Brazil, who often focus more on local needs rather than global missions. Carriel hopes to see the Brazilian church invest more in sending missionaries worldwide.

If you like coffee, you're going to love Mike Ayar's second act. Mike ran a highly successful software company for 24 years. With a niche focus, his organization served pest control companies, an industry Mike describes as "the absolute best service business in the world in terms of recurring revenue." In 2002 a private equity company began pursuing the purchase of his company and in 2006 they made him a financial offer "he couldn't refuse." After the purchase, he continued to run the company but finally departed in 2009. Mike had "no idea" what he wanted to do next. A few years earlier, Mike had developed an intense interest in speciality coffee and in particular coffee roasting. Surprisingly, he had never tasted coffee until he turned 45. Waiting for a flight, he entered an airport Starbucks and ordered a double espresso. He was hooked. Mike took a range of courses and seminars from coffee experts around the country. In 2011, he launched Turnstile Coffee Roasters in Belmar, NJ. The company has grown into a thriving cafe which also offers online coffee sales and wholesale services to other coffee shops and area restaurants. It's a family affair with his nephew and two daughters actively engaged in the company. Click here to learn more about Turnstile Coffee Roasters and their seventeen different blends of coffee from Costa Rica, Brazil, Guatamala, Ethiopia, Columbia, Nicarauga, Peru and Indonesia.

In Brazil in the 1990s, women discovered using misoprostol for safe, self-managed abortion. In 1980 in France, mifepristone was discovered and in 1988, approved. Approval in the U.S. occurred shortly thereafter, in 2000. Rebecca Kelliher, journalist and author of Just Pills: The Extraordinary Story of a Revolution in Abortion Care, sits down to talk with us about her new book exploring the history of misoprostol and mifepristone.The comprehensive approval, and global dispersion, of misoprostol and mifepristone took decades. Yet now, the most recent numbers show that 63% of U.S. abortions are medication abortions. These medications—specifically mifepristone—are under increasing attacks, with anti-abortion actors targeting telehealth prescription. In addition, lawsuits attempting to prevent the mailing of pills to states with abortion bans are becoming more frequent. While these attacks are devastating, we can look to Latin America for hope: in Argentina, underground feminist organizations formed to disperse misoprostol while the country faced a near-total abortion ban. For more information, check out Pantsuit Politics: https://www.pantsuitpoliticsshow.com/s/podcastSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!
