PREVIEW Guest: Anatol Lieven Summary: Anatol Lieven critiques NATO defense spending, arguing that while Germany prioritizes tanks to support its auto industry, effective defense against Russia requires cheaper solutions like drones and mines. He warns that expensive armored vehicles may prove "suicidal" in modern war, whereas cheaper defenses are more practical. 1870 SIEGE OF PARIS

David Shedd critiques the bipartisan failure of allowing China into the World Trade Organization in 2001, which was based on the false assumption that economic engagement would lead to democratization. Instead, this decision facilitated a massive transfer of intellectual property, fueling China's rise as a predatory economic rival. 1940 EMPRESS DOWAGER CIXI

SUMMARY: Guest: Lara Silverman — comedic actress, jazz singer, violinist, author, Stanford Law grad; formerly a federal prosecutor. -Faith roots: Grew up in a large Romanian Christian family (with Syrian Christian heritage); accepted Christ at 7; faith deepened after her aunt's death from cancer. -Calling to law: Loved advocacy and public speaking; passed the bar after intense study; landed her dream role as a federal prosecutor in San Francisco. -Health crisis: Fell acutely ill in week two on the job with a rare, under-researched neurological vertigo disorder; tried ~30–150 therapies and ~38 medications (often worsened symptoms); bedridden for three years on a bedpan; ultimately resigned her post. -Ongoing illness: Continues to experience constant spinning sensations; multiple tentative diagnoses, no definitive cure; learned to walk again despite worsening symptoms when upright. -Spiritual wrestle: Initial confusion turned to seasons of bitterness and anger (more than depression); felt misunderstood by some believers when she sensed God calling her to accept ongoing suffering. -Acceptance and surrender: Believes God spoke that she would not be fully healed on this side of eternity; fasting exposed idols of health, marriage, and career; moved toward surrender and trust. -Meeting Matt: Church acquaintance (youth leader) who reached out during her bedridden years; he had suffered childhood cancer and was later diagnosed with terminal cancer; they formed a deep bond through shared suffering. -Marriage and loss: Married despite her illness and his terminal diagnosis; experienced “joy in grief” through ministry and creativity; Matt died a year later; Lara testifies to God's peace and preparation through the loss. -Joy amid grief: Practiced finding “sprinkles of joy” (comedy clips, music, niece's smile, devotionals); launched The Silverman Show (YouTube: comedy, music, theology); organized jazz fundraisers, including $13K raised for Haiti. -Theology of suffering: *Critiques “prosperity gospel light” in American church; calls for preparing believers to suffer well. *Emphasizes biblical themes: joy in suffering; God's intentional purposes; eternal rewards (e.g., “crown of life”); 2 Corinthians 4:17's “eternal weight of glory.” *Points to Isaiah 61 (double portion/redemption), 1 Peter 1:7 (tested faith), Job-like redemption ultimately fulfilled in eternity. *Cites Helen Roseveare's testimony about trusting God in suffering. -Identity transformation: Early identity tied to achievement and “gold stars”; illness stripped these; learned identity in Christ, not performance; challenged by Matt's loving rebukes about pride and usefulness. -Honest struggles: Jealousy when others receive “basic blessings” (marriage, children, health); wrestled with God's statement “I know what's best for you”; learning to believe God's wisdom without having micro-level reasons. -Church's role: Encourage sound theology of suffering, eternal perspective, and the call to “joy in grief”; avoid equating God's love solely with earthly blessings. -Memoir: Wrote her memoir from bed over eight months, capturing God's “receipts” (journaled answers, provisions, and lessons); aims to comfort sufferers with biblical reasons for suffering and stories of God's nearness. -Hope redefined: Realistic hope is anchored in eternity (John 11:25); freedom from fear of death empowers purposeful living now. -Key scriptures referenced: 2 Corinthians 4:17 (eternal glory) 1 Peter 1:7 (tested genuineness of faith) Isaiah 61 (redemption, double portion) Isaiah 43:19–20 (streams in the wilderness) Romans 8:29 (conformed to Christ) John 11:25 (life beyond death) -Core takeaway: God provides “streams in the desert.” Open your heart to receive and choose joy in the midst of grief; joy and sorrow can coexist, and God will redeem suffering—fully in eternity, and often with foretastes now.   PODCAST INTRO: What happens when the life you planned—brilliant career, healthy body, tidy faith, marriage and children—collides with relentless suffering? For comedian, jazz singer, author, violinist, and Stanford-trained attorney Lara Silverman, that colission became a calling. Lara spent years pursuing her dream of becoming a federal prosecutor—years of academic discipline, devoted goal setting, and passionate pursuit. After graduating from Stanford, she enters the grueling vetting and elimination process of 1000 hopeful lawyers with the goal of making it to the top 3. When she learns that she made it in the top 3 her dream becomes a reality…she is standing at the pinnacle of a major goal in her life. She was accepted as a federal prosecutor and begin the task of fully stepping into that role. Until in her second week on the job, she fell violently ill with what would later be discovered as a rare, unresolved neurological condition that keeps her in a constant state of the world spinning around her. She endures that condition to this day…8 years now, 3 of which left her bedridden, on a bedpan, being cared for and nursed by her parents. Thirty-eight medications failed. Careers, plans, family timelines—all stripped away. In her personal dark valley of multi layered deaths, her testimony is that not only does God meet her there, He has never left her. True to being a trained lawyer, in her effort to make sense of her spinning, crumbling world she uses the Word/Bible to question God's goodness and His fairness demanding that He explain Himself. She's met with firm, steady, unwavering love that consistently engages her pain inviting her from striving to surrender. Through Lara's fasting, God exposed hidden idols—health, marriage, career—not to shame her, but to set her free. Because I think we all know that if we build our lives on things that will fade, change, transition, not to mention the fact that we have no guarantees on anything we risk losing ourselves into despair and ruin. Then came an unlikely gift. As Lara lay in bed, a church acquaintance—Matt Silverman, a brilliant, joy-filled believer battling terminal cancer—began calling to pray and wrestle through theology with her. Friendship became love. They married, held jazz benefit concerts for Haiti, launched a small YouTube channel, and practiced “joy in grief” as a spiritual discipline. Exactly one year later, Matt went home to Jesus. Lara's testimony is not tidy. She speaks frankly about anger, bitterness, jealousy, and the ache of unanswered prayers. Yet she clings to promises many avoid: that suffering refines faith (1 Peter 1), forges intimacy with Christ, prepares us for eternity (2 Corinthians 4), and—even here—can be met with streams in the desert (Isaiah 43). She believes God will redeem every loss, whether in the here and now or in eternity—and that the doctrine of reward, often neglected, gives sturdy hope when the nights are long. Her invitation is simple but not without surrender and therefor difficult: Look for “sprinkles of joy” each day. Refuse to waste your pain—serve others through it. Live now with eternity in view. If you're not afraid to die, you can truly live. Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing. That's Lara's way through the wilderness—and a lifeline for anyone walking it today. In her memoir, Singing Through the Fire, she chronicles all of that's happened, how God shows up, the challenges she's put before Him and vice versa. What does it look like to struggle with God ? Lara provides examples, proof that He doesn't leave even when our faith is weak and ungodly. He holds us up when our faith falters and He sustains us through the most devastating emotional, mental, physical, battles. Let's listen in and find a reason to hope again, to find joy and to be comforted in what can feel like the wilderness. Live Loved and Thrive!

Depuis le début de la guerre, rares sont les décisions du président ukrainien à pouvoir être contestées dans le pays. En octobre dernier, grâce aux pouvoirs que lui confère la loi martiale, Volodymyr Zelensky a limogé Gennadi Troukhanov, le maire d'Odessa. Accusé d'avoir la nationalité de l'ennemi après la publication de la photo d'un passeport russe à son nom, il a été déchu de la nationalité ukrainienne. Le maire nie en bloc. Sur place, son renvoi a ému une grande partie de la population et scandalisé la classe politique locale. Théo Renaudon a recueilli leur sentiment ainsi que la réaction de Gennadi Troukhanov.  ► Un reportage à retrouver en version longue sur la page Accents d'Europe.

Philanthropy plays a uniquely critical role in climate action—it can fund the bold, early-stage, community-led, and systems-changing work that markets and governments too often overlook. And with the federal government cutting funding to a wide range of climate, energy and conservation efforts, philanthropy plays a more important role than ever before.That's why we're teaming up with the Skyline Foundation and their Climate Lead, Shereen D'Souza on a series of conversations on climate philanthropy.Over the coming episodes, we'll explore how philanthropy can accelerate climate solutions—not just by moving more money, but by moving it differently and to high impact topics and geographies. We'll talk to leaders who are rethinking power, reimagining partnerships, and reshaping the way resources flow.Today, we're starting with a conversation that sets the tone for the entire series: trust-based philanthropy. What does it look like to fund climate work in ways that are long-term, rooted in real relationships, and prioritize the expertise of grantee organizations? How can funders shift from control to collaboration, and what happens when they do?Shereen and I are joined by Shaady Salehi, Executive Director of the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project. Shaady has been at the forefront of this movement, helping foundations transform their practices and support grantees with more transparency, humility, and flexibility. We talk about Shaady and Shereen's backgrounds in philanthropy, what trust-based philanthropy is and how it can help non-profit partners be more effective, why it's relevant to Skyline Foundation's approach and ways other donors can learn more.

After years of presentation coaching, one of the major things that I have realized is that many of the things presenters do to reduce nervousness actually cause nervousness. And because most business presenters deliver presentations so infrequently, those bad ideas get repeated over and over. Eventually, they become habits.So, on this episode, I'll give you the seven presentation habits that actually cause public speaking fear. They are:1) Writing Your Presentation Word-for-Word2) Designing Your PowerPoint Slideshow First3) Relying on Notes4) Asking for Critiques from Friends/Coworkers5) Practicing Alone6) Videoing Your Presentation and Reviewing It Alone7) Cognitive DissonanceIf you can eliminate these habits, you'll increase your confidence pretty quickly.Show Notes: 7 Presentation Habits that Cause You to Become a More Nervous Speaker(https://www.fearlesspresentations.com/7-presentation-habits-that-cause-you-to-become-a-more-nervous-speaker/)

Socialism Comes to New York — Cliff May — May critiques New York City Mayor-elect Momdani's socialist-oriented policies, arguing that aggressive rent freeze mechanisms systematically diminish housing stock availability, reduce construction incentives, and undermine long-term affordability through supply contraction. May warns that additional socialist initiatives including fare-free public transportation and police defunding drive middle-class residents toward suburban and exurban jurisdictions. May cites Venezuelan economic collapse and continuing socialism failure across multiple jurisdictions as empirical evidence that socialist economic models fundamentally cannot function effectively in complex modern capitalist economies like New York City. 1888 five points

It's time to put the Year in Review on pause for a loaded week of golf in December. Andy and Brendan are relieved to be talking about current events and the content gods have delivered, providing nuggets spanning from Bethpage to the Bahamas. They begin with the Hero World Challenge and its host "Doctor" Munjal. Brendan calls for an early Thirstbucket of the Week following his yearly media availability in Albany and questions what he's a doctor of after all. PJ chimes in with some quick research finding that his doctorates may or may not be honorary, leading Andy to refer to him as "Mr. Munjal" for the rest of the show. Tiger Woods also spoke on Tuesday about his playing future and the future of the PGA Tour. He stayed in line with reports about Brian Rolapp's 20-event schedule coming as soon as 2027 and confirmed that he'll be OUT for Jup Links in the first half of the TGL season. Brian Rolapp found himself in front of a microphone last week and made sure to mention that the "middle class matters," which is sure to put the minds of mules at ease. In more from the Ryder Cup that will never end, Justin Thomas appeared on the No Laying Up podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the American loss at Bethpage. Within the interview, JT took exception to the green speeds at The People's Country Club and said that they were not what Keegan Bradley asked for. He stated that "they" argued with the Americans about the speed, which was aggregated to no end on social media. On the very (too?) busy Schedule for the Week, the Hero has brought in outside help for its Pro-Am, Rory is teeing it up at Royal Melbourne with Dr. Chipinski, and Will Zalatoris makes his return at the Nedbank in South Africa. With almost all of the world's top players in action this week, Andy and Brendan wonder if there are some scheduling issues that lead to three tournaments spreading out the top-end talent as opposed to getting them all in one place to compete against each other. Lastly, the Skechers World Champions Cup will somehow air on ESPN and ABC this weekend, so PJ has a full primer ready to go for those tuning in for their first Champs Tour action of the year. Friday's episode will contain a full, detailed discussion about TGL's Gil Hanse intro video that set Golf Twitter ablaze on Tuesday afternoon.

PREVIEW — Joseph Sternberg — The Failure of the "Brussels Effect." Joseph Sternberg of the Wall Street Journalcritiques the "Brussels Effect," a regulatory theory positing that heavy European Union regulatory standards would enable European companies to achieve competitive advantage through compliance-driven market dynamics. Sternbergcharacterizes this strategic approach as "total nonsense," demonstrating that EU regulatory frameworks have systematically stifled the growth of major technology startups and innovative enterprises compared to the dynamism of Silicon Valley, producing technological and economic underperformance. Sternberg reports that Brussels officials are gradually accepting this uncomfortable reality and reconsidering the regulatory framework's strategic efficacy. 1884 BRUSSELS

AI Regulation: The Danger of Fear and the Need for a National Framework — Kevin Fraaser — Fraser critiques the regulatory rush surrounding AI, faulting the EU's approach to establishing guardrails based on "speculative fears" rather than documented harms. He warns against allowing "robophobia"—unfounded fear of artificial intelligence—to drive policy, advocating instead for regulatory focus on beneficial applications including healthcare diagnostics and educational access. Fraaser advocates for a unified U.S. regulatory framework to prevent a fragmented patchwork of state laws and excessive litigation that stifles technological innovation. 1930

Chaque weekend en podcast, retrouvez "100 ans de conneries", par Jean Yanne. Pendant 4 mois, de septembre à décembre 1999, le sociétaire des "Grosses Têtes", tenait sur RTL une chronique quotidienne dans laquelle il faisait le bilan du siècle qui allait bientôt se terminer.

Elected officials on both sides of the aisle cheered the passage of Pennsylvania's long-delayed state budget last week. But the Republican Party's likely nominee for governor next year is not among them. New trees were planted in Harrisburg City late last week as part of a $500,000 investment statewide to add shade, reduce stormwater runoff and make communities more welcoming. Penn State grad student workers have overwhelmingly voted to form a union. Unionized faculty at Harrisburg Area Community College have avoided a strike. A tentative agreement has been reached between school officials and the instructors, represented by the Pennsylvania State Education Association. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is back in Washington D-C this week - after being hospitalized in Pittsburgh last week. About 70 protesters with March on Harrisburg demonstrated at the state Capitol Monday, calling for a ban on gifts to lawmakers. More than a dozen of the protesters were arrested after they blocked the entrances to the House and Senate wings. The Lancaster County Commissioners will vote on their latest annual budget plan on Christmas Eve - not December 10th as previously planned. The change follows a two-week delay in unveiling the 2026 budget.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

4. When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason. The discussion critiques the indiscriminate government funding of the Payroll Protection Program (PPP), which subsidized well-endowed institutions and missed future innovators, thereby slowing the natural process of working out what is "good and what's bad." Government lending programs inevitably come with strings attached and impair credit. John Tamny suggests that individuals possess a protected "right to contract" and work, regardless of state mandates, citing Lochner v. New York. Ultimately, the sources stress that economic growth and freedom are the strongest defenses against disease, highlighted by the rapid success of private enterprise (like Pfizer) in vaccine development. Freedom must be the readymade answer to future pandemics. 1918 Retry

Veronique de Rugy critiques the administration's legal argument at the Supreme Court that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) authorizes the President to impose tariffs. She argues the term "emergency" is used too loosely, defining 50 years of trade deficits as an emergency, potentially granting the President immense, unchecked power to tax. Tariffs are taxes, which Congress should control. De Rugy notes tariffs are already causing damage by raising prices for consumers or forcing companies to cut profits and investment. 1882 NYSE

Nate talks election results in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, focusing on candidates like Zohran Mamdani. He expresses concern over the rise of democratic socialism and emphasizes the need for a stronger advocacy for free-market capitalism. Nate criticizes the current political rhetoric that fails to provide a clear alternative to socialism and advocates for the importance of educating the public on the benefits of a free-market economy. Throughout the episode, Nate stresses the necessity for conservatives and Republicans to promote real free-market solutions rather than presenting socialism light. 00:00 Intro 01:08 Election Recap: Democrat Victories 04:44 The Rise of Socialism 06:18 The Free Market vs. Socialism 12:25 Republican Strategies and Critiques 16:29 The Importance of Free Market Advocacy 27:30 Trump's Funding Threats and Socialism's Excuses    

Middle East Disorder, Gaza Ceasefire, and Lessons from War Reporting. Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani address the persistent disorder in the Middle East, noting that the Gaza ceasefire ("hudna") is only a pause. Ambassador Haqqani critiques the flawed concept of pursuing a "war to end all wars," suggesting the world is a situation to endure, not solve permanently. Bill Roggio compares the current stabilization efforts to the failed attempts in Afghanistan following the Taliban's ouster, noting that key players like Hamas remain undefeated or unwilling to disarm. Both experts stress the difficulty of verifying initial reports of mass violence, urging patience and skepticism regarding premature assumptions about perpetrators or motivations.

Proliferation Risks from US Surplus Plutonium Sales Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski critiques the Department of Energy's plan to sell 20 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium to American firms for use in new reactor designs. He warns that promoting plutonium fuel exports substantially raises international proliferation risks by bringing nations substantially closer to nuclear weapons capability. Sokolski notes that South Korea is actively seeking permission to recycle plutonium domestically, a development that increases nuclear uncertainty across the Korean Peninsula and challenges the global nonproliferation regime. 1955
