Founded in 2001, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) is a Eurasian political, economic, and security forum led by Russia and China. And on July 4, 2024, the 24th summit of the SCO was convened in Astana, Kazakhstan. The summit resulted in the Astana Declaration that reaffirmed cooperation among the member states. This year's summit was particularly notable due to Belarus's accession as the SCO's first European member state and the tenth member of the SCO. The continuous enlargement of the SCO seems indicative of the organization's shifting role, evolving from a regional cooperative forum to a broader, perhaps counter-western bloc. This episode will focus on China's strategy in the SCO, its intentions, and its objectives. Host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Dr. Eva Seiwert, an analyst at the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS). Her research interests include China-Russia relations, China's central Asian relations, and China's behavior in international organizations.

Many in the church will seek to avoid controversy no matter what. Whether they are fearful of cancel culture or misapplying verses about worthless controversy, many leaders in the church will not publicly oppose the idols of the day.

Guest Host: Maura Carabello Across the country, the issues of the day are dividing students on college campuses. Recently, the Utah Board of Higher Education approved a free speech resolution for all public universities.

Leah Murray, co-host of KSL at Night and director of Weber State University's Walker Institute of Politics, says having debates about controversial topics is critical for student learning.
US healthcare spending is extreme currently at approximately $4.3 trillion. The single largest payer of healthcare services is Medicare at roughly $900 billion annually or 21% of total healthcare spending. In this edited volume, recently published by Johns Hopkins University Press, Dr. Moffit along with eleven other contributors including Joe Antos, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Brian Miller, Mark Pauly and Gail Wilensky, lay out the conservative version of Medicare reform. In sum, the authors argue federal policymakers reinvent Medicare as a defined contribution or premium support program or at minimum substantially expand the Medicare Advantage program (Medicare Part C), or Medicare coverage provided by private insurance companies. The interview begins by Dr. Moffit commenting on whether healthcare services can be defined as a market commodity. He discusses the problem of healthcare pricing, measuring for value in healthcare, improving Medicare Advantage benchmarking, remedying Medicare Advantage coding intensity via retrospective risk adjustment and risk transfer pools and competing fee for service Accountability Care Organizations (ACOs) against Medicare Advantage. Dr. Robert Moffit is a Senior Fellow in Domestic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation specializing in health care and entitlement programs, moreover Medicare. Dr. Moffit also serves on the Maryland Health Care Commission as an appointee of Gov. Larry Hogan and he is a member of the advisory board of the Buckley School of Public Speaking in Camden, South Carolina. He brings to the reform effort experience as a senior official of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during the Reagan administration. Dr. Moffit is a co-author of “Why Obamacare Is Wrong for America,” (Harper Collins, 2011). He was a contributor to “A Time for Governing: Policy Solutions From the Pages of National Affairs” (Encounter Books, 2012) and “Controversial Issues in Social Policy” (Allyn and Bacon, 2003), a university textbook on public policy. He has published in numerous professional and specialty journals among them Health Affairs, Health Systems Review, Harvard Health Policy Review, Inquiry, Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics, National Affairs, New England Journal of Medicine, Postgraduate Medicine, and Journal of Medicine and Philosophy.

Donald Trump was indicted yesterday for misuse of campaign funds to pay hush money to porn star Stromy Daniels. He is the first former U.S. president to ever be charged with a crime. Trump's indictment comes less than a week after he launched his presidential campaign with a large rally and speech in Waco, TX. Waco was the site of the 1993 raid of the militant Branch Davidian religious compound that led to the deaths of nearly 80 people. Waco has been a rallying cry for white supremacists and the extreme right ever since. 38 migrants were killed and 27 seriously injured in a fire at a Mexican detention center in Ciudad Juarez. The continued unjust and cruel immigration policies in the U.S. - the “Remain in Mexico” policy, for example - helped create the conditions for the deaths. Will Bunch was dead on: "I wonder how much of the American downplaying of this nightmare in Ciudad Juárez is willful ignorance on our part — a refusal to confront our own shameful role in this episode. That's because the reason that refugees are overrunning the Mexican city — some estimates place the number at 20,000 — is that U.S. policy is forcing these migrants to stay south of the American border, their actual goal." According to a new report from the Kaiser Family Foundation, up to about 15 million people are now at risk of losing health insurance as COVID era rules that expand Medicaid and CHIP benefits are rolled back. A new study in the journal Nature, projects that deep water current around Antarctica could slow by 40% by 2050 if the current trajectory of climate change is not dramatically altered. A disrupted current could dramatically affect the climate, the flow of fresh water and oxygen, and the circulation of nutrients necessary to sustain marine life. Some first-graders in Waukesha, Wisconsin won't be singing “Rainbowland,” by Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton. They were supposed to sing the song about acceptance, coming together, and loving one another in their spring concert. Why? Because school administrators concluded that the song violated the district's new “Controversial Issues in the Classroom,” policy initiated by a new right-wing dominated school board. This week's horrific mass school shooting in Nashville is being used by right-wing politicians and pundits to stoke anti-trans hate. New reporting by Maddie Hanna in the Philadelphia Inquirer shows that Paul Martino's PAC, Back to School USA, is gearing up for the culture war. The PAC's website says it will be “taking the fight directly to the liberal teachers' union and special interest groups that are responsible for indoctrinating our children.” The Back to School USA PAC is planning on holding an April 7th fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago with right-wing founder of Project Veritas, James O'Keefe. Newly elected Representative Summer Lee is wasting no time in making her voice heard. Summer Lee is a co-sponsor of the newly introduced “Assault Weapons Ban of 2023.” She took to the House floor this week PA Senators Bob Casey and John Fetterman and OH Senator Sherrod Brown introduced the “Railway Accountability Act” that would help prevent the kind of disasters we just witnessed in East Palestine, OH. A coalition of more than two dozen environmental, faith, business, and healthcare groups sent a letter to Gov. Josh Shapiro this week urging him to keep Pennsylvania's commitment to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative as part of Shapiro's stated commitment to getting PA to net-zero emissions by 2050. And Temple University's president Jason Wingard steps down after an authorization of a no-confidence vote by the Temple's faculty union; a strike by graduate students, and the murder of Temple University Police Sgt. Christopher Fizgerald. And, yes, the Dungeons and Dragons movie, Honor Among Thieves hits the big screen today!

"La Scapigliata" aka Isidora Sanger is the nom-de-plume of a retired medical doctor, also known as "la scapigliata" online. Since 2014, she's been writing about gender identity ideology and campaigning for women's sex-based rights. She believes policies and medical practices should be based on evidence, not ideology. She lives in the UK with her family and a dog." "For over a century, feminists have campaigned for women's sex-based rights, despite the violent backlash from men. They recognized that women's health and well-being, participation in public life and their ability to escape abuse were the most urgent human rights issues affecting the female sex. The backlash from men was carried out in the physical – by using oppression and violence – but it was justified with metaphysical theories about women's brains, a feminine psyche and the innate nature of gender stereotypes. Obscure scientific methods of dubious significance, like phrenology, kept being devised to try and substantiate this empirically.Such methods have been abandoned as quackery, and we now know that none of the assumptions about women on which male supremacy was based were correct. Despite this, the tendency toward justifying discrimination against women and girls has not disappeared with technological advancements in the 21st century. Now, instead of phrenology and fanciful ideas about "wandering wombs", we have brain scans being used to allegedly prove that feminine males and masculine females were "born in the wrong body" and that their psychological distress can be cured by medical and surgical procedures designed to make them resemble the opposite sex.This collection of essays is my testament to the feminists who have campaigned so painfully and courageously, and for so long, and those that continue to fight to this day - and beyond.“Born In the Right Body” can be purchased at Amazon marketplaces. https://www.amazon.com/Born-Right-Body-identity-perspective-ebook/dp/B0BN2FJDTX/An American Conversation Podcast™ has captivating shows, compelling Guests & Controversial Issues!

Many church and missions leaders are concerned that disciple making movements, church planting movements, and other multiplication methodologies are guilty of pragmatism. Conversely, movement practitioners accuse critics of being too tied to tradition. Is there common ground? In a recent article for Global Missiology, Middle East missionary J.R. Stevenson claims the two sides of the conversation may agree more than previously thought. We interact with these claims in this unique, engaging conversation.

When Arno noticed that this was not a coincident but a pattern, he analyzed his coaching process and found the reason: He had them practice all his tools and strategies with their partners to make his teachings stick as much as possible: small, step by step actions that led to big results.Arno adjusted his training syllabus just a little bit and brought it in alignment with breakthroughs in his own personal life. This was the starting point of a powerful program to help men and women elevate and even save their relationships.• Arno's individual coaching follows a proven three-step process:• Releasing persistent negative emotions connected to traumatic events or individuals• Elevating self-communication based on the concept of state mastery• Elevating communication with othersHis corporate training is based on the same principles that work with individuals but translated into a format that works for groups. It does not only motivate and inspire but creates real behavioral change that drives collaboration, communication, and overall happiness.

Eleanor Cowan's book Review "The History of a Pedophile's Wife":“How could a mother not know?” This is a question often asked about families where incest has occurred, and Eleanor Cowan's gripping memoir, A History of a Pedophile's Wife, steps up with answers that are courageous and heartbreaking. Cowan's book is a primer in compassion, especially for those of us who were abused as children and left to struggle with legacies of distrust and rage towards our mothers. It's a vivid indictment of a mother-blaming culture that protects the very institutions that perpetuate child abuse. A retired teacher today, Eleanor Cowan, continues to teach, write, edit, and enjoy her valued life.— Carolyn Gage, playwright, performer, director, and activist. The first 5 emails sent to info@AnAmericanConversationPodcast.com will receive Eleanor Cowan's book “The History of a Pedophile's Wife” audio versions of her book.

For some, missionaries are faith-filled heroes—out on the far reaches of society, sharing the good news in faraway lands. For others, “missionary” might be synonymous with words like “colonizer” or “imperialist.” What's in a word? In this episode, Alex Kocman and Scott Dunford wrestle with the implications of the “m” word in terms of language, contextualization, and faithfulness.

People often ask David and Brad how they sleep at night knowing they've lost a whole audience from their remarks on today's controversial issues, from whether it's OK to allow high school students to identify as cats…to questioning if organic chemistry should be made easier for university students. Their answer? Once they take a look at their royalty checks, the pain goes away pretty quickly.
In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable the guys take a look at the mid-term elections. How critical are they? What is at stake? What is driving voters to the polls? What should the Republicans do if they take over the House or the Senate? Is bi-partisanship good or bad? Is the media unfairly scrutinizing Republican candidates? Are they ignoring or failing to report on controversial issues with Liberal candidates? Do conservative Republicans need to run better candidates and if so, how do we get them?

This week on "Explicitly Pro-Life" you will hear from special guest and Students for Life Alumni, Briscoe Cain, about why we must be all in for Life, all of the time, and never let political agendas interfere with our mission to protect the preborn. Briscoe was labeled by the New York Times as “a rising conservative firebrand” and the Houston Chronicle as “[an] aggressive champion for conservative causes,” Briscoe Cain has made no friends in the mainstream media while defending pro-life values in Austin, TX. So make sure you tune in this week to hear what this firecracker - who has not always been pro-life - has to say about the issue of abortion!

Cheri Helt is a candidate for Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industry (Labor Commissioner) and a former state representative from Bend. On May 17, she finished in second place in the primary, meaning she will move to the general election in November and face civil rights attorney Christina Stephenson. While this statewide position is nonpartisan, Cheri is a moderate Republican and business owner. Previously, she served on the Bend-La Pine School Board for nearly a decade. In this episode, we talk about her experience as a moderate Republican in the legislature (including a couple of difficult votes she took on the Student Success Act and vaccines). We also cover her vision for the role of Labor Commissioner (apprenticeships, workforce development, BOLI staffing, etc). We have an interesting exchange on the famous "Sweet Cakes by Melissa" decision on LGBTQ+ rights and religious freedom (which played out under Commissioners Brad Avakian and Val Hoyle, but may be resolved by the next Commissioner) where Helt describes how she would approach the decision. You can learn more about Cheri Helt on her website: www.cherihelt.com
We all know that we could be doing a better job preparing young people for civic participation – and government officials and the public largely agree, but few organizations focus primarily on addressing this problem. Democracy Ready New York is one of the groups that's taking action on this issue – advocating for government policies to better support civic education and broadening public engagement in the issue. This episode features the leader of Democracy Ready New York, Michael Rebell. Since 2005, Michael has served as the Executive Director of the Center for Educational Equity at Teachers College, Columbia University. Over the past few years, he and other staff at the Center have built a coalition of individuals and organizations with an interest in civic education. Today this coalition, Democracy Ready New York, is working to improve various aspects of civic education, including media literacy, classrooms discussions, equity, and more. In his conversation with Brett, Michael talks about the goals of the organization, the accomplishments of its various committees, and the group's plans to diversity its efforts to improve civic education.

Around the time that the Soviet Union fell, Ukraine experienced massive spiritual revival. Duane Early, who served there as a missionary, is convinced that's part of the reason Ukraine is being targeted today. In this interview, he explains the current situation in Ukraine, miracles that happened during that revival, lessons learned, and missiological takeaways that can be applied anywhere. To help missionaries meet Ukrainian refugees' needs and share the gospel to those affected by the war, support the Ukraine Crisis Fund. Duane Early is ABWE's Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. The Lord led Duane into full-time ministry while a student at the University of Michigan. He continued his education and theological training at Summit University in Clarks Summit, PA, and Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary. Duane and his wife, Susan, were involved in two pastoral ministries and one church plant during their first 15 years of marriage. In the 90s, the Lord led them Duane, Sue, and their two daughters to join ABWE in order to open and lead the first team in the country of Ukraine. The team was able to grow both in quantity and quality while developing the Church Ministries Institute, multiply churches, and launch mission endeavors throughout the Russian-speaking world. In 2000, Duane was asked to serve as the Regional Director for Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and in 2009, Duane became Vice President of Global Operations. He began his current role in 2017.
