Ai slop as usual for shownotes. If HKJ pays me some of those HKDs then I'll maybe make an effort. Until then, eat your robot kibble and enjoy the show! Australia Day tensions at home and political shocks abroad drive this packed episode of The Two Jacks. Joel (Jack the Insider) and Hong Kong Jack unpack the Liberal–National implosion, leadership manoeuvring, hate‑speech laws and neo‑Nazi “martyrs” springing from Australia Day rallies and a near‑catastrophic device in Perth. They then cross to the US for the fallout from the ICE killing of Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretty, Kristi Noem's precarious future, Trump's political instincts, and Mark Carney's Davos warning that we now live in a world with “no rules.” Along the way they dissect Brexit's economic hangover, EU over‑regulation, India's Republic Day contrast with Australia's low‑key national day, and finish with sport: Premier League title nerves, Australian Open heat controversies, bushfires, and a final detour through film censorship trivia in Ireland.00:00 – Theme and intro00:25 – Welcome back to The Two Jacks; Joel (Jack the Insider) in Australia and Hong Kong Jack set the scene for episode 142, recorded 27 January, the day after Australia Day.​Australian politics and the Liberal–National implosion00:40 – Coalition “no more”: the decoupling of Liberals and Nationals, and whether Anthony Albanese is the Stephen Bradbury of Australian politics or a quiet tactician.​01:10 – How Labor's racial vilification moves and 18C history boxed the opposition in; Susan Ley's failed emergency‑sitting gambit on antisemitism laws.​02:00 – Firearms law changes and new powers to ban hate groups like Hizb ut‑Tahrir and the National Socialist Network, and the role of ASIO referrals and ministerial discretion.​03:10 – Canavan's “slippery slope” fears about bans being turned on mainstream groups, and what that reveals about the Nationals' hunger for anti‑immigration rhetoric under pressure from One Nation and Pauline Hanson.​Centre‑right parties in a squeeze04:00 – The Nationals as the “five‑percenters” who pull the coalition's agenda with a small vote share; listener Bassman calls them the “un‑Nationals.”​05:00 – Global “tough times” for centre‑right parties: the pincer between moving to the centre (and leaving a vacuum for far‑right populists) or moving right and losing the middle.​05:40 – Hong Kong Jack's argument for broad churches: keeping everyone from sensible One Nation types to inner‑city wets under one tent, as Labor did with its far‑left “fruit loops” in the 1980s.​07:00 – Decline of small‑l liberals inside the Liberal Party, the thinning ranks of progressive conservatives, and the enduring “sprinkling of nuts” on the hard right.​Leadership spills and who's next07:20 – Susan Ley's lonely press conferences, Ted O'Brien's silence, and the air of inevitability about a leadership spill before or by budget time.​08:20 – Why the leadership needs “strength at the top”: the Gareth Evans line to Hawke – “the dogs are pissing on your swag” – as a metaphor for knowing when to go.​09:20 – Conversation about Angus Taylor, Andrew Hastie, Ted O'Brien and even Tim Wilson as possible leaders, and why the wrong timing can make almost anyone opposition leader.​10:40 – History lesson: unlikely leaders who flourished, from Henry Bolte in Victoria to Albanese, once dismissed by his own colleagues as a long shot.​11:40 – Albanese's long apprenticeship: learning from Howard's cautious style and the Rudd–Gillard chaos, and his instinct for the national mood.​Listener mail: Nationals, Barnaby and “public bar” politicians13:00 – Listener Lawrence compares One Nation to Britain's Reform Party; asks if Barnaby Joyce's baggage (drought envoy rorts, “Watergate,” drunken footpath photo) undermines his retail skills.​14:20 – Debating whether Barnaby ever was the “best retail politician” in the country; why he works brilliantly in rural and regional pubs but is “poison in the cities.”​16:10 – The “public bar” politician ideal: Barnaby as hail‑fellow‑well‑met who genuinely likes the people he's talking to, contrasted with Whitlam and Fraser looking awkward in 1970s pub photo ops.​17:20 – John Howard scrounging a fiver to shout a round, Barry Jones dying in Warrnambool pubs, and why Bob Hawke and Tony Abbott always looked at home with a schooner.​Australia Day, antisemitism and street violence18:00 – Australia Day wrap: The Australian newspaper's “social cohesion crisis” framing after antisemitism, violence and extremist rhetoric.​19:10 – Perth's rudimentary explosive device: ball bearings and screws around a liquid in a glass “coffee cup” thrown into an Invasion Day crowd at Forrest Place; police clear the area quickly.​21:00 – Melbourne: small March for Australia turnout, scuffles between their supporters and Invasion Day marchers, arrests likely to follow.​22:10 – Sydney: March for Australia rally of around 2,000 ending at Moore Park, open mic session, and the selection of a man wearing a Celtic cross shirt who launches into a vile antisemitic rant.​23:20 – His subsequent arrest in Darlinghurst and the Section 93Z charge (publicly threatening or inciting violence on racial or religious grounds), with possible three‑year jail term and $11,000 fine.​24:40 – Why the speech appears to meet the elements of the offence, and how such defendants are quickly turned into martyrs and crowdfunding heroes by the extreme right.​26:10 – The psychology of self‑styled martyrs seeking notoriety and donations; parallels with “Free Joel Davis” signs after threats to MP Allegra Spender.​Australia Day vs India's Republic Day27:20 – Australia Day clashing with India's Republic Day: Joel only just realises the overlap; Jack has known for years.​28:00 – History recap: Australia Day as a 1930s invention, not a national holiday until Keating's government in 1995; its big cultural take‑off in the 1988 Bicentennial year.​29:10 – India's enormous Republic Day parade: 10,000+ guests, missiles and tanks on show, EU leaders in attendance, congratulations from President Trump and President Xi – easily out‑shining Australia's low‑key day.​30:00 – Why big military parades feel culturally wrong in Australia; the discomfort with tanks and squeaky‑wheeled machinery rolling down main streets.​30:30 – The 26 January date debate: protests by Invasion Day marchers vs “flag shaggers,” plateauing protest numbers, and the sense that for most Australians it's just another day off.​31:20 – Arguments for a different nation‑building day (maybe early January for a built‑in long weekend), and the need for a better way to celebrate Australia's achievements without performative patriotism.​32:40 – Local citizenship ceremonies, Australia Day ambassadors and quiet country‑town rituals that still work well in spite of the culture war.​Minneapolis outrage, ICE shootings and US politics34:20 – Turning to the United States: the shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretty by ICE agents in Minneapolis and the shock it has injected into US domestic politics.​34:50 – Video evidence vs official narrative: Pretty appears to be disarmed before being shot; the administration initially claiming he was planning a massacre of ICE agents.​35:40 – Trump's early blame of Democrat officials and policies, then a noticeable shift as outrage spreads more broadly across the political spectrum and the Insurrection Act chatter cools.​36:20 – Tom Homan's deployment to Minneapolis, the demotion of Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, and reports that Homan will now report directly to President Trump rather than Kristi Noem.​37:10 – Internal GOP friction: suggestions Noem relished confrontation, while Homan did not; speculation Noem may be the first cabinet‑level casualty.​38:00 – Use of children as bait in immigration operations, American citizens detained, and two civilians shot dead by ICE; discussion of likely multi‑million‑dollar compensation exposure.​39:00 – Allegations of bribery and “missing 50 large,” the checkered backgrounds of some ICE agents and rumours about extremist links and failed cops finding a home in ICE.​40:00 – A snap YouGov poll: 46% of respondents wanting ICE disbanded, 41% opposed, and how this feeds the narrative that Noem will be thrown under the bus.​Sanctuary cities, federal power and Pam Bondi's letter41:10 – Trump's boastful but error‑strewn talk on Article 5 of the NATO treaty, and his correction that still belittled allies' sacrifices in Afghanistan.​41:40 – Casualties by nation: US 2,461, then significant losses from the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Australia, Poland, Spain and others – disproving Trump's “America alone” framing.​42:30 – Sanctuary cities vs federal supremacy: recalling the 2012 Arizona case where the Supreme Court confirmed immigration enforcement as a federal responsibility, and how that collides with sanctuary policies.​43:10 – Pam Bondi's letter to Minnesota's governor after the second ICE killing: reported threat to pull ICE agents in exchange for electoral records, and the ominous implications of such demands.​Greenland, Davos and market games44:00 – Trump's Greenland obsession revisited: from bluster at Davos about tariffs on European allies to a supposed “deal” that no‑one, including the Danes, can define.​44:40 – How tariff threats knocked markets down, then his Davos announcement walked them back and sent markets up; Ted Cruz warning Trump that crashing 401(k)s and high inflation would make the midterms a bloodbath.​45:40 – Japan and the US bond market: a brief panic in Japanese bonds, a Danish super fund's sale of US Treasuries, and the longer‑term vulnerability given that Japan, China and the EU hold so much US debt.​46:30 – Trump's relentless pressure on the Fed for lower rates in an inflationary environment, and the comparison with Erdogan's disastrous low‑rate, high‑inflation experiment in Turkey.​Davos speeches and a world with no rules47:10 – Mark Carney's standout Davos speech: we now live in a geopolitical environment with “no rules,” and the post‑WWII rules‑based order has largely broken down.​47:50 – Carney's planned March visit to Australia and likely address to a joint sitting of Parliament, plus his reputation as a sharp, articulate central banker.​48:20 – Hong Kong Jack's scepticism about “international law” as more fiction than practice; non‑Western powers paying lip service while ignoring it in reality.​49:00 – The German Chancellor's more consequential Davos speech on EU failures, competitiveness, and the need to reinvent Europe, backed in by Italian PM Giorgia Meloni.​49:40 – The “Sir Humphrey” view of the EU: you can only reform Brussels from the inside, not from outside as Brexit Britain is discovering.​Brexit's economic hit50:10 – Chancellor Mertz's critique of EU over‑regulation and the “world champions at regulation” line; the EU as an anti‑competitive behemoth that lost its free‑trade roots.​50:50 – Why countries like Spain struggle alone but “pack a punch” within the EU's collective GDP; Brexit as a decision to leave the world's biggest trading bloc.​51:20 – UK Office for Budget Responsibility analysis: since the 2016 referendum, estimated UK GDP per capita by 2025 is 6–8% lower than it would have been, with investment 12–18% lower and employment 3–4% lower than the “remain” counterfactual.​52:10 – How these losses emerged slowly, then accumulated as uncertainty persisted, trade barriers rose and firms diverted resources away from productive activity.​52:40 – Jack challenges the counterfactual: notes that actual UK GDP growth is only a couple of points below EU averages and doubts that UK governments would have outperformed Europe even without Brexit.​53:20 – Joel's rejoinder that the OBR work is widely accepted and that Brexit has created profound long‑term impacts on Britain's economy over the next 5–10 years.​Sport: cricket, Premier League and Australian Open heat55:20 – Australian cricket's depth: promising leg‑spinners and other talent juggling Shield cricket with gigs in the Caribbean Premier League, Pakistan Super League and more.​55:50 – Premier League title race: Arsenal's lead cut from seven to four points after a 3–2 loss to an invigorated Manchester United that also beat City in the derby.​56:30 – The “sugar hit” of a new coach at United, reverting to a more traditional style and the question of how long the bounce will last.​57:10 – Australian Open “Sinner controversy”: oppressive heat, the heat index rules for closing the roof, Jannik Sinner cooked at one set all before a pause, roof closure and air‑conditioning – and then a comfortable Sinner win.​58:00 – Accusations about coach Darren Cahill lobbying tournament boss Craig Tiley, and why the footage doesn't really support conspiracy theories.​58:30 – Djokovic's soft run after a walkover, the emergence of 19‑year‑old American Tien with Michael Chang in his box, and Chang's devout‑Christian clay‑court glory at Roland Garros.​59:20 – Heatwave conditions in southern Australia, fires in Victoria and the Otways/Jellibrand region, and a shout‑out to firefighters and residents under threat.​Final odds and ends01:00:20 – Closing thoughts on Australia's weather extremes, hoping for a wind change and some respite for the fireys.​01:00:50 – Jack's trivia nugget: Casablanca was once banned in Ireland for not being “sufficiently neutral” and not kind enough to the Nazis, segueing to bans on Lady Chatterley's Lover and Australian censorship history.​01:02:00 – Sign‑off from Joel (Jack the Insider) and Hong Kong Jack, promising to track the Perth bombing case, hate‑speech prosecutions, Canberra leadership moves and the unfolding Minneapolis/ICE scandal in future episodes.

How does hunting work in Denmark and how can a country with strict gun laws also have a strong hunting culture?In this episode of What Are You Doing in Denmark, Derek and Brooke sit down with David Carsten Pedersen, author, founder of Always Hunting, and host of the Danish podcast Jagt Radio, to unpack what hunting really means in Denmark for those looking in from the outside.Together, they explore how Danish hunting culture grew out of land ownership and farming traditions, why gun ownership in Denmark is treated as a privilege rather than a right, and how extensive education, testing, and safety requirements shape the way Danes think about firearms. David explains the rituals, ethics, and community-driven nature of hunting in Denmark, as well as how respect for animals, food, and shared responsibility are central to the tradition.The conversation also looks at why hunting has become more accepted in Danish society in recent years, how Danes generally view hunters and guns today, and what internationals, especially those from the U.S., often misunderstand about Danish gun laws, gun violence, and trust in public institutions.This episode offers internationals living in Denmark a deeper understanding of Danish gun culture, hunting ethics, and the broader values around safety, education, and social trust that shape life in Denmark.David Carsten Pedersen (guest):Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alwayshunting.dkDavid's podcast: https://www.instagram.com/jagtradio/Hunting License Course: https://alwayshunting.dk/

V državnem zboru poteka zadnja redna seja v tem mandatu. Danes bo pred poslankami in poslanci več zakonskih predlogov s področja pravosodja, med drugimi o kazenski obravnavi mladoletnikov. Čakamo ga več kot 15 let; predvideva prednostno vodenje kazenskih postopkov proti mladoletnikom in specializacijo vseh sodelujočih. Danes je na dnevnem redu tudi predlog zakona o zaščiti pred strateškimi, tako imenovanimi SLAPP tožbami. To so očitno neutemeljene in pretirane tožbe, največkrat namenjene zastraševanju in utišanju novinarjev in predstavnikov civilne družbe. V oddaji tudi: - Evropska unija si želi odpreti pot na azijske trge tudi s trgovinskim dogovorom z Indijo. - Nova zakonodaja o zbiranju smeti bo zvišala stroške za podjetja, manjši pa bodo za gospodinjstva. - Reprezentanti v dvoranskem nogometu po zmagi proti Belgiji ohranjajo upe na četrtfinale Eura.

Poslanke in poslanci bodo opoldne začeli zadnjo, 38-to redno sejo tega sklica državnega zbora. Na podlagi števila obravnavanih točk gre očitno za eno od najbolj dejavnih sej tega mandata, saj se bo na poslanskih klopeh znašlo več kot štirideset zakonskih predlogov. Med drugim poslance čaka glasovanje o kandidatih za guvernerja Banke Slovenije, varuhinjo človekovih pravic in tri ustavne sodnike. Po dolgotrajnih usklajevanjih pri predsednici republike Nataši Pirc Musar bo mandatno-volilna komisija danes obravnavala predloge za imenovanje Primoža Dolenca za guvernerja Banke Slovenije, Tamare Kek, Marka Starmana in Cirila Keršmanca za ustavne sodnike in Simone Drenik Bavdek za varuhinjo človekovih pravic. Nekaj drugih poudarkov oddaje: - Vnovični pozivi Izraelu, naj odpre mejni prehod Rafa med Gazo in Egiptom. - Združene države v primežu arktične nevihte, brez elektrike več 100 tisoč ljudi. - Slovenija po zapletu s pobeglimi smučmi na svetovnem prvenstvu v poletih do šestega mesta.

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Business Roundtable, sponsored by Bell, Dr. “Rocket” Ron Epstein of Bank of America Securities, Sash Tusa of the independent equity research firm Agency Partners and Richard Aboulafia of the AeroDynamic advisory consultancy join host Vago Muradian to discuss a roller coaster week on Wall Street that saw a drop after President Trump's threat to launch a trade war against Europe to acquire Greenland and a rebound after he said he would neither attack Greenland nor impose tariffs to get it but instead opt for a “framework” deal to bolster Arctic security; after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the rules-based world order guaranteed by America is over and it's time to plan for what's next, the president said he would impose a 100 percent tariff on all Canadian goods if “Governor Carney” strikes a trade deal with China; Danes vow to boycott American products as France turns to industrial giants like Renault to bolster drone production as Paris plans a $40 billion boost in defense spending; Sweden's leading pension fund pares down US treasuries from $8.8 billion to $7.7 billion during 2025 on worries about American political risk and whether other nations will follow suit given Washington's dependence on borrowing to make fiscal ends meet; the Pentagon's new National Defense Strategy; Congress' $838 billion appropriations measure that boosts defense spending by $8.4 billion including some $900 million for the Navy's FA-XX future fighter and demand for greater transparency into the Golden Dome missile defense system; India inches closer to a deal with Dassault for 114 Rafale fighters; Babcock and QinetiQ issue trading statements; and leading firms like GE Aerospace, Teledyne, and others report earnings.

Andrew Desiderio discusses his experience traveling with a CODEL to Denmark, where a bipartisan group of lawmakers tried to reassure Danes amid Trump's escalating threats to acquire Greenland.

Darrell Castle talks about President Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland presented earlier this week and the important issues surrounding the speech including Greenland, Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, and of course Minneapolis. Transcription / Notes TRUMP SPEAKS TO THE WEF Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 23rd day of January in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about President Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland which was given on Wednesday of this week. I will also talk about some of the important issues surrounding that speech including Greenland, Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, and of course Minneapolis. Yes, President Trump traveled to Davos this week accompanied by a large U.S. delegation including Secretary of State Marco Rubio. California Governor Gavin Newscom was in attendance although not part of the US delegation. He was quick to gather a news event to question everything the President said. So, the President spoke for over an hour to the richest, most powerful, most pompous and self-important people in this world. He used the occasion to sign the Board of Peace Charter, officially launching a new international organization tasked with overseeing the peace process between Israel and Hamas to end the war in Gaza. Trump said as he signed, “This Board is the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created, and it's my enormous honor to serve as its chairman.” Founding members of the board were in attendance including Bahrain, Morocco, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and the United Arab Emirates. Missing was Bibi Netanyahu because he has an international warrant out for him and he would most likely have been arrested. Could the Board of Peace end up replacing the United Nations? President Trump seems to think so, “I wish the United Nations could do more. I wish we didn't need a Board of Peace. The UN just hasn't been very helpful. I'm a big fan of the UN's potential but it has never lived up to its potential.” Trump, despite his criticism, didn't call for the dissolution of the UN. I suppose he left that duty to me and I have been actively calling for its dissolution since about 1990 when I became associated with the Constitution Party. Many people agree with me but find it very difficult to say so. I supported Ron Paul's presidential campaigns partly because of his end the FED rhetoric and his criticism of international bodies such as the UN. I fear that the Board of Peace will become just another bureaucracy but we will see whether it can really achieve peace in Gaza. The proposal calls for Hamas to lay down its arms which it has publicly refused to do. Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law presented a slide show detailing the architectural plans for the Gaza strip. I hope those plans include the Palestinians still alive but we will see. Perhaps they can find jobs in the fabulous hotels and resorts that are supposed to be built. In the meantime, the IDF has reportedly killed at least 466 Palestinians since the ceasefire started as well as 3 journalists one of whom worked for Bari Weiss the new head of news at CBS. When invited to speak at WEF Denmark announced that it would not be attending because of Trump's position on Greenland. Perhaps the Danes don't quite understand the art of the deal. He renounced any plans to acquire Greenland by force and worked out a deal with NATO to allow US use of Greenland and in return plans for tariffs on EU members were canceled. Trump believes, and it makes sense to me, that the US needs influence there as a hedge against long term adversaries in the Arctic like China and Russia, for example. He assured them that US acquisition of rights in Greenland was not only, not a threat to NATO but would greatly enhance the security of the alliance. He said the new agreement would involve the Danes with the Golden Dome, and mineral rights.  In case you don't know Golden Dome is a new missile defense system being built. Mark Rutte, the head of NATO, said after his meeting with Trump that the discussion about Greenland had changed. Now the discussion is about how the arctic region can be protected and secured. George Friedman is a geopolitical analyst of impeccable reputation and I have been a subscriber to his publication, Geopolitical Futures for many years. In regard to Greenland George said in his recent newsletter that he admitted for the first time he just could not explain or figure out something. He could not explain why Trump would place tariffs on NATO allies in order to acquire interest in Greenland. Now that Trump has lowered the temperature of the discussion the point may be moot but I think he does not have the same regard for the Europeans that many others have. In fact, I think this whole new Strategic Strategies Report that the administration just released is an announcement that the security agreement that has existed since World War ll has run its course and is now over. The US will consider its own hemisphere and its own defense first. In other words, this is all a continuation of the American Revolution which for 250 years has not been able to separate the American people from the European bankers. The bankers got their prize with the formation of the Federal Reserve which was formed to take control of the US financial system and keep the American people in debt slavery forever. The FED prints its own money and loans it to the US so it can be used to pay US interest on the debt that it has, thus 38 trillion debt and one trillion of interest. Take, for example, Mark Carney the Prime Minister of Canada. He is former governor of the Central Bank of England and former governor of the Central Bank of Canada and though in office, still associated with powerful banking and investment firms. That may be rambling a bit but it's still all very true. Trump went on in his speech with his usual carrot and stick approach. “Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore, they're not recognizable, and I love Europe, and I want to see Europe do good, but its not heading in the right direction.”  He mentioned his Scottish and German heritage and said the people of the United States care deeply about Europe. He used part of his time to tout what he called restoring the American dream. He mentioned his Executive Order to prevent Wall Street Corporations from buying single family homes thus driving up the cost of rent and making owning a home much more expensive. “Families live in homes, not corporations.” Well, amen to that quote Mr. President, that is exactly right. My approval of that action and the quote is not very libertarian but then I am not a libertarian. The US is not going to subsidize the whole world he told the assembled Davos men and women. Global tariffs were implemented to address the large trade deficits the US was experiencing adding that many countries were taking advantage of the United States. He went on to brag about the economic changes and success that he believes the US is experiencing. So, my conclusion is that he went to Davos to conclude a Greenland deal and to sign the Board of Peace agreement but mostly to explain himself to these people. Wars still rage in Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran. The one in Iran seems to be heating up again with the Ayatollah publicly admitting to over 5000 protesters killed. Many reporters from inside Iran report more than 10,000. The Ayatollah has taken a very hard line calling the uprising sedition and blaming the United States and Israel for it and threatening full scale war. Trump has ordered his military leaders to give him strike options that could be done so something is most likely coming. US strategic bombers have been seen over the Persian Gulf region. I said I would say a few words about Minneapolis so here they are. That city seems to be the tip of the iceberg that is the massive fraud being committed against the US government but mainly against the working, taxpaying Americans. If you work and a portion of your labor and money you need to feed your family is taken from you by the IRS apparently a good deal of that is used to feed the terrorists in Somalia and to line the pockets of politicians across America. The politicians look the other way and run interference for the fraudsters and they are then rewarded with millions of fraudulently acquired dollars. It seems that California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and others may even be bigger than Minnesota. You are certainly aware that ICE is in Minnesota trying to round up, arrest and deport illegal criminals but the politicians who have been receiving millions in bribes from the illegals have been protecting them and attacking ICE agents. I suppose they believe that if they scream loud enough we the people will join the criminals, but then who will pay the taxes. This disorder went so far as to involve an attack or at least a forced disruption of Sunday Services at a Baptist church called Cities Church in St. Paul. Yes former news reporter Don Lemon led the mob into the church and disrupted people who were worshiping God on a Sunday morning. Lemon gave a lot of sanctimonious words about how protest is protected by the 1st amendment. He is really attacking Christianity and trying to eliminate the right of Christians to worship freely which is sacrosanct in the 1st amendment. It seems that in Minnesota they really love and value sanctuary except when it involves places that actually are sanctuaries. Contrast my city of Memphis with Minneapolis and notice the difference. Memphis has now had two good mayors in a row and the difference is astounding. The mayor didn't want federal authority here but he said if it's coming let's cooperate and use it to benefit the city. The guard came to help with the street patrols so the MPD could do police work. ICE was here arresting illegal criminals as they found them. Two statistics illustrate the whole thing and the difference. Car left down 70% and murders down 44% and people can walk their own streets at least better than before criminals were allowed to take over our cities. Finally, folks, wither you hate Donald Trump or love him pray for peace. Our children will appreciate it. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

   It's time to tell the truth about Denmark and Greenland.  The Danes mistreated the land and the people in horrific ways until about 30 years ago. Scott Bessent is talking about it and you're likely to get a heavy dose of facts from people in Greenland that hate Denmark.    A murder at The Hawk in Lawrence is just a total shocker and stupid tragedy.  We have the latest details of what went wrong.    A friend gave me the greatest idea ever for how to repurpose the Truman Sports Complex.  You'll love it.   Crazies storm a church in St. Paul, Minnesota with their anti-ICE chants.  Wow.    The NFL didn't disappoint this weekend with two great playoff games, one very good one and one dud.  And what do you know?  The Chiefs and Patriots AFC title game appearance streak continues.    KU smokes Baylor and looks like they are figuring a lot of things out while Mizzou falls to LSU.  KSU is so bad the only discussion is about when Jerome Tang gets fired.    Sporting KC has a new owner, England wants it's World Cup soccer operation in KC as a home base and 1500 men call the same phone number seeking companionship.

Reza Pahlavi is packing his toothbrush again. As protests grow in Iran, the exiled Crown Prince has been popping up for media appearances, from his home in the Maryland suburbs near DC.As we enter yet another cycle of Persian proto-revolution, we're saying he shouldn't count those air miles just yet.Meanwhile, Donald Trump says that Greenland's defences are two dogs and a sled. Handy, because America has three dogs and two sleds.The Danes have been humiliated already – but can anything useful still come from the biggest gorilla in the room turning on his kin? We'll be watching, as Nato slides into the mid-Atlantic.Finally, when Jerome Powell is putting out hostage-style video statements, you may have squeezed the Fed too hard. Or have you? Whatever the details of the present spat, is there still a place for independent central banking in the Western model?Remember you can get special paywalled premium episodes of Multipolarity every month on Patreon: https://patreon.com/multipolarity or by becoming a member on our YouTube Channel (just click Join).

Danes are reeling from the aggressive nature of Donald Trump's designs on Greenland — but there is little they can do to stop the United States from acquiring the territory, whether by force or coercion. This is an odd position for Denmark, which has long been one of America's staunchest allies, as well as a core member of the European Union and NATO. My interview guest, Søren Lippert, is the CEO of an independent security policy think tank in Denmark, Ny Verden ("New World" in English). We kick off by briefly discussing the historic, cultural, and political relationship between Greenland and Denmark before moving into a longer conversation about the vast implications of America's aggressive posture toward Greenland. As he explains, Denmark, Europe, NATO, and the very foundations of the transatlantic alliance are all imperiled by Trump's quixotic desire to make Greenland part of the United States.  Support the show. https://www.globaldispatches.org/

Listen to the article with analysis from the author:  President Donald Trump threatened that he was willing to take control of Greenland the “hard way.” “I'm not talking about money for Greenland yet. I might talk about that. But right now we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not,” the President said Friday. “I would like to make a deal. You know, the easy way. But if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way.” Trump's plan to take over Greenland will face several challenges. Greenland is a colony of Denmark, a NATO ally. Copenhagen says it will not give the US control of its colony. Last week, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen condemned “unacceptable pressure” by the Trump administration to acquire Greenland, warning it would destroy NATO. “If the United States were to choose to attack another NATO country, then everything would come to an end,” Frederiksen said. “The international community as we know it, democratic rules of the game, NATO, the world's strongest defensive alliance – all of that would collapse if one NATO country chose to attack another.” Additionally, Greenland's government opposes becoming an American colony. “We don't want to be Americans, we don't want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders,” Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said Friday. During Trump's remarks to the press, he challenged Denmark's claim to Greenland. “You know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land pure.” The President added, “We had lots of boats go there also.” Trump claimed the US needed to seize Greenland to prevent China and Russia from taking control of the Danish colony. “If we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland. And we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor,” the President said. First Published at Antiwar.com

After his major military operation in Venezuela, President Trump has escalated his rhetoric about taking control of Greenland. Trump has repeatedly suggested that the Arctic island – which is a semi-autonomous Danish territory - should be part of the US. "We need Greenland from a national security situation”, Trump told reporters recently, “It's so strategic”. In capitals around Europe, leaders are now wondering if Trump might just follow through on his threats.We speak to journalist Adrienne Murray in Copenhagen to find out how Greenlanders and Danes feel about Trump's comments, and what any US action on Greenland could mean for the future of Nato and Europe.

Popularna kultura se v svojem bistvu navezuje na trende, prakse, prepričanje in izdelke, kot so glasba, film, moda, družbena omrežja, ki si jih kot družba delimo, jih uporabljamo, saj so masovno na razpolago. Odražajo stanje prostora in časa, s popularno kulturo pa poskušamo tudi sami sebe umestiti v družbo, v kateri živimo. Nedvomno se tudi skozi njeno prizmo oblikujejo – predvsem v mladosti in zgodnji odraslosti – naša osebnost, tudi naš okus, naše prijateljstvo, naš pogled na svet in razumevanje tega. In če je popkulturo prejšnjih desetletij zaznamovala neka monokultura (pomislimo na 80-a, 90-a, leta in leta okoli 2000), je vprašanje, kakšna je pop kultura sedanjosti, veliko bolj kompleksno.

Kevin Jeung (Noma / Noma Projects) calls in from LA to talk about Noma's upcoming Los Angeles pop-up and what it changes when you suddenly have citrus, avocados, and California seasonality on the table. Kevin walks through how the team is doing early-stage R&D—ingredient exploration, fermentation setup, and testing techniques for hard problems like cactus slime and variable produce.Dave detours into Denmark: Christmas market roast pork sandwiches, crackling technique, and what cut the Danes actually use (loin vs belly vs skin-on neck). They also get into Noma Projects curiosities like peach tree sap (rehydrated for a tendon-like chew), plus a few practical bar/kitchen notes: a clarified spec for the Brandy Savage cranberry cordial build, and a quick take on stabilizing acidic whipped cream (gel/fluid-gel approach vs citric acid straight into dairy). Closing beat: Kevin's Turkey method for the Noma team—compound butter under the skin, and mayo outside for browning/crisping. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Zadnji dan zadnje redne seje državnega zbora v tem letu bodo poslanke in poslanci obravnavali dva zakona po nujnem postopku, novelo o financiranju in spodbujanju graditve javnih najemnih stanovanj ter interventni zakon s področja zdravstva. Interventni zakon o zdravstvu je bil med obravnavo na pristojnem odboru tarča precej kritik zaradi trajnosti sprememb nekaterih členov. Koalicijski poslanci so z dopolnili sporne člene spremenili v začasne, a pričakovati je, da bodo dopolnila vlagali tudi še med obravnavo na seji. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Okoljevarstveniki predlog Evropske komisije za odpravo prepovedi prodaje novih vozil z motorjem z notranjim zgorevanjem označujejo za napako; Nemčija, Francija in Italija ga pozdravljajo - V Bruslju danes o vključevanju zahodnobalkanskih držav v politike Unije ter sodelovanju v zunanji politiki in pri upravljanju migracij. - Evropski parlament bo glasoval o pobudi My Voice, My Choice za varen in dostopen splav za vse ženske v Uniji.

Winter in Denmark isn't just cold, it's dark, windy, wet, and emotionally confusing. In this episode of What Are You Doing in Denmark, Derek and Conrad are joined by comedians Jeff Bond and Jacob Taarnhøj to break down how to actually survive a Danish winter.From cycling through sideways wind, understanding seasonal affective disorder, navigating public transport misery, January despair, and Denmark's unique relationship with darkness, this episode is packed with practical advice, cultural insight, and very questionable winter “hacks.”If you're new to Denmark, considering moving here, or just wondering why Danes bike through snowstorms without blinking, this episode will help Denmark make a little more sense, even in winter.Jefferson Bond (Guest):Instagram: https://instagram.com/jeffersonbondcomedy TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/jeffersonbondcomedyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Jefferson.A.Bond/Jacob Taarnhøj (Guest): https://www.instagram.com/jacobtaarnhoej/ https://www.facebook.com/JacobTaarnhoej https://jacobtaarnhoej.dk/ Derek Hartman: https://www.instagram.com/derekhartmandk https://youtube.com/c/robetrottinghttps://tiktok.com/@derekhartmandkwww.facebook.com/robetrottingConrad Molden:https://instagram.com/conradmoldencomedyhttps://youtube.com/c/conradmoldenhttps://tiktok.com/@conradmolden https://facebook.com/conradmoldenhttps://www.conradmolden.dk

The Danes have hygge, a cultural inclination to try to make things cosy. In Finland, they have a very different cultural trait called sisu, a quiet, inner strength drawn from surviving hardship. Dr. Elisabet Lahti has spent years studying this Finnish concept, and in 2018 she put it to the test, running 2,400 kilometers across New Zealand to research sisu and promote nonviolence. She's the founder of the Sisu Lab and says anyone from any country can learn to have courage in the face of adversity.

Konec novembra je minilo 50 let od odprtja glavne stavbe Kliničnega centra Ljubljana, ki se je pozneje preimenoval v Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana. Danes je med največjimi bolnišnicami v srednji Evropi z izjemnimi medicinskimi dosežki. Zdaj ga prenavljajo in dograjujejo, skupna vrednost del je 250 milijonov evrov. Toda po drugi strani pomanjkanje kadra, predvsem negovalnega, hromi delo. O izzivih naše največje bolnišnice v tokratnem ponovljenem Studiu ob 17.00. Gostje: dr. Marko Jug, generalni direktor UKC Ljubljana; dr. Gregor Norčič, v. d. strokovnega direktorja UKC Ljubljana; dr. Zlatko Fras, strokovni direktor Interne klinike UKC Ljubljana; dr. Ivan Kneževič, strokovni direktor Kirurške klinike UKC Ljubljana; mag. Zdenka Mrak, glavna medicinska sestra UKC Ljubljana.

Danes začenjamo s parafrazo resnice, ki se je njega dni zapisala modremu Speransu: "Sreče človeku ne more dati niti sistem, niti država, niti politična stranka … srečo lahko da človeku le loto." In mi obešenjaško dodajamo: "Pa še to je statistično skoraj nemogoče." Že drugo leto zapored je ob običajnih obscenostih glavna atrakcija novoletnega časa novoletni loto. Kartice so šle v rekordnem času in te dni se skoraj četrtina naših sodržavljanov trese, ali bo dobila eno izmed prvih treh nagrad. Ali pa katero koli drugo nagrado. Preostale tri četrtine Slovencev, ki so se z nakupom obirale, pa zdaj poskušajo kartico z obetom sreče kupiti na črnem trgu.V bistvu se analitična oddaja, kot je naša, z nečim tako naključnim, kot je sreča, ne bi ukvarjala, če ne bi novoletni loto na več ravneh govoril o Slovencih in o našem položaju v vesolju ob prelomu koledarskega leta. Glavne nagrade so tri. Lani sta bili dve, ampak, računajoč na božičnico, je letos denarja več in darila pod smrekico bodo bogatejša. Lani sta bili glavni nagradi stanovanji v Ljubljani in Kopru, letos so dodali še stanovanje v Mariboru. Najprej k teoretični ravni. Na loteriji so izjemno natančno zaznali simbolno vrednost glavne nagrade, se pravi stanovanja. Prejšnje družbe so dobile svoje elite tako, da je nekdo imel več ovc kot drugi, elite moderne družbe so se oblikovale s kopičenjem kapitala, pomoderna elita pa nastane z zbiranjem stanovanj. Se pravi, če hočeš pripadati družbeni eliti in vplivu, ki ga ta status prinaša, moraš kopičiti stanovanja. Kako drugače si razlagati dejstvo, da so do pred kratkim glavni loterijski dobitki v glavnem pomenili denar. Se pravi, če si včasih zadel glavni loterijski dobitek, torej denar, si si stanovanje lahko kupil. Kot še vedno velja, da če danes dobiš stanovanje na loteriji, ga še vedno lahko prodaš in dobiš denar. Pomeni, da stanovanje kot loterijski dobitek nima višje ali drugačne vrednosti od denarnih dobitkov preteklosti; gre izključno za čustveno kategorijo, ki naj bi in tudi je pritegnila nepremičninsko pobesnelo slovenstvo, da je v rekordnem času pokupilo vse loterijske listke, ki so bili na voljo. Druga pomemba kategorija, ki jo Loterija Slovenije vzpostavlja z novoletnim lotom, pa je svojevrstni zemljevid slovenske razvitosti. Uradne statistične ocene posameznih regij so eno, nekaj povsem drugega pa sta razvitost in zaželenost regije, kot jo razume slovenska loterija in posledično tudi igralci te zanimive igre. Na prvem mestu je tako stanovanje v Ljubljani, ki je vredno največ. Na drugem mestu je stanovanje v Kopru ... "Zakaj hudiča pa v Kopru?" Koper ni veliko mesto, ima kup ne ravno prijazne industrije, je pa res, da ima mlako, imenovano morje. Na ponižujočem tretjem mestu, potem ko ga lani sploh ni bilo, se je šele znašlo drugo največje slovensko mesto. V Mariboru zaradi loterijskega ponižanja zagotovo vre, ampak v Mariboru pogosto vre tudi zaradi manjših stvari. A tu se še ne konča … Ko bi človek pričakoval, da bo četrti dobitek stanovanje v Novem mestu, peti v Celju, šesti v Novi Gorici in tako naprej po lestvici slovenskega urbanega imaginarija, se nenadoma pojavijo življenjske rente in naložbeno zlato, ki so dobitki po tretjem. Se pravi, če bi sledili logiki prvih treh dobitkov, bi bil petnajsti dobitek bivalni zabojnik v Črnomlju, ampak žal ni tako. Slovenija je skozi prizmo loterije razdeljena na pokrajine klinično hladno. Le tri imamo … Najprej Ljubljana, potem Primorje in kot tretji so na seznamu Štajerci – "če že hočejo". Vsaj malo pa se moramo pozabavati s povsem praktičnimi vidiki novoletnega lota. Ker ni vseeno, kdo kaj zadene. Poglejmo najbolj idealen primer. Če si Ljubljančan in zadeneš prvo nagrado, se vesolje ne bo niti pretegnilo. Stvari so urejene, le še eno prazno stanovanje, namenjeno švedski družini dva tedna v juliju več. Če dobiš stanovanje v Ljubljani kot Mariborčan, ga boš ali takoj prodal ali pa uporabljal dvakrat letno, ko je derbi. Če dobiš stanovanje v Ljubljani kot Koprčan, si ne moreš domisliti niti enega pametnega razloga, zakaj in čemu bi ga imel. In naprej. Če dobiš stanovanje v Kopru kot Mariborčan, boš prodal prikolico v Savudriji. Če ga dobiš kot Koprčan, to razumeš kot smolo. Če ga dobiš kot Ljubljančan, bodo tja odšli tvoji otroci, ki nimajo pogojev za filozofsko. Če dobiš stanovanje v Mariboru kot Ljubljančan, ga greš pogledat in se nemudoma vržeš z balkona. Če ga dobiš kot Koprčan, odpotuješ tja enkrat letno za štirinajst dni, ker se zaradi zamudne poti za krajši čas ne izplača. Če ga dobiš kot Mariborčan, pa je seveda odvisno, ali je stanovanje na desnem ali levem bregu. Ker če si s Teznega, ti niti na kraj pameti ne pride, da bi šel živet v Melje. Vsi drugi Slovenci, ki živijo zunaj Kopra, Ljubljane ali Maribora, pa bodo ob novoletnem žrebanju dobitkov stiskali pesti, da dobijo četrto nagrado.   Mimogrede … v uredništvu si zelo želimo, da tudi tokrat dobi glavno nagrado tisti Kranjčan, ki je pred nekaj meseci prišel po glavni dobitek – sedemintrideset milijonov, zadnji dan, preden bi listek propadel. Ni lepšega kot opazovati može in žene z loterije, ko se tresejo in potijo.

Mirovni pogovori za Ukrajino v Berlinu so prinesli napredek, je po srečanju sporočila ameriška stran. Podrobnosti niso znane, je pa ukrajinski predsednik Volodimir Zelenski nakazal možnost kompromisa, če bi Kijev pridobil ustrezna varnostna zagotovila. V oddaji tudi o tem, da naj bi Slovenija pri izvedbi projekta drugega bloka jedrske elektrarne izbirala med dvema dobaviteljema, bližje naj bi bil ameriški. Vlada bo imela ta teden sicer na mizi predlog finančnega modela za JEK 2. Preostali poudarki oddaje: Avstralske oblasti po včerajšnjem smrtonosnem napadu ob praznovanju judovske hanuke napovedujejo premislek o zaostritvi orožarske zakonodaje Slovenska vojska bo uradno dobila desetega načelnika generalštaba; dolžnosti bo danes prevzel brigadir Boštjan Močnik Prizadevanje države za pridobitev nacionalne platforme za umetno inteligenco z razpisom deli mnenja v stroki.

If you visit Denmark in December, the first thing you notice is the season's softness. Winter comes early, and daylight is brief, so the Danes respond with warm lights, quiet streets, and homes that glow through the dark. It feels like the whole country leans into comfort when the cold settles in. Walking through a Danish town at this time of year, you see people moving at an easy pace, carrying small bags from local shops, and heading toward warm houses where family and friends gather. The season builds slowly. Homes begin placing small candles in windows. Trees outside town halls are lit with strings of white lights. Cafés bring out warm drinks and pastries that feel made for winter. The Danish idea of keeping things cozy stays at the center of it all. Nothing is rushed, and nothing feels forced. The whole month has the steady, welcoming rhythm that Denmark is known for. As December begins, families start preparing for Christmas in ways that seem simple at first but carry profound meaning. Children open Advent calendars. Parents unpack boxes of handmade ornaments. Town squares start setting up outdoor markets, where people meet friends for warm drinks while a light snow drifts through the air. Denmark feels peaceful, and the season unfolds in a way that makes visitors want to slow down and enjoy it with everyone else...

Britanski premier Keir Starmer, francoski predsednik Emmanuel Macron in nemški kancler Friedrich Merc so se včeraj po telefonu pogovarjali z ameriškim predsednikom Donaldom Trumpom o končanju vojne v Ukrajini. Ob živahni izmenjavi mnenj, kot je pogovor označil Trump, ga je trojica pozvala, naj v Evropo na srečanje z ukrajinskim predsednikom Volodimirjem Zelenskim konec tedna pošlje svoje predstavnike. Danes se bodo po napovedih preko videopovezave sešli tudi voditelji tako imenovane koalicije voljnih - držav, ki podpirajo Ukrajino. Cilj pogovorov je doseči napredek glede varnostnih jamstev za Kijev. Ta medtem Washingtonu še ni predstavil posodobljenega mirovnega načrta, ki so ga skrajšali z 28-ih točk na 20. To naj bi storil v kratkem. V oddaji tudi: - Srbski predsednik v Bruslju poleg pomoči pri energetski krizi tudi o širitvi Unije. - Nadaljevanje prenove ljubljanske avtobusne in železniške postaje prinaša spremenjen režim. - Brežiški porodnišnici predali grelno-reanimacijske posteljice za novorojenčke.

Koliko bo zanimanje, ni znano. Kaj pa bodo morali priložiti, kdaj lahko pričakujejo izplačila in kakšne so obveznosti delodajalcev in delavcev? V oddaji tudi o tem: - Izteka se nov rok za prijavo guvernerskih kandidatur, 6 doslej neuspešnih. - Obisk nemškega kanclerja v Izraelu razgalil velika razhajanja v viziji miru na palestinskih ozemljih - Prebivalci središča Ljubljane opozarjajo na vse več težav z javnim redom

Vlada je v državni zbor po nujnem postopku poslala nekoliko spremenjen interventni zakon na področju zdravstva. Nekatere spremembe so bile nujne, da bi se obravnava v državnem zboru sploh lahko začela, saj bi jo lahko blokiral eden od že vloženih zakonov. Danes bo interventni zakon na mizah članov Ekonomsko-socialnega sveta, ki bodo med drugim obravnavali zakon o zdravstveni negi in babištvu, o katerem vlada še ni odločala, in nekatere druge zakone. Drugi poudarki: - Veljati je začela shema skrajšanega delovnega časa; država bo pod določenimi pogoji pomagala podjetjem v 10 panogah. - Delegacija varnostnega sveta Združenih narodov po obisku Sirije pot nadaljuje v Libanonu. - Slovenije ne bo na evrovizijskem tekmovanju prihodnje leto v Avstriji, saj bo na njem lahko nastopil tudi Izrael.

In this second half of our conversation with comedian Mikkel Klint-Thorius, we dive even deeper into Danish humor, cultural taboos, political satire, and how comedy evolves with the times. From reflections on “casual racism” in old material to Denmark's unique relationship with free speech, intent, and edge-pushing jokes, Mikkel gives a refreshingly honest look at what it means to perform comedy in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape.We also explore how internationals can navigate Danish humor, why Danes love when the joke is about them, and the social dynamics that shape what's acceptable and what crosses the line. And yes, there's talk of politics, cancel-culture waves, generational trauma, the US comedy civil war, and why Norwegians find Danes a bit… intense.It's an insightful, funny, and very open conversation about identity, comedy, culture, and everything in between.If you haven't heard Part 1, go check that out first: https://pod.link/1704607322/episode/NjkyZTExOWJmY2QzM2ViYmFiN2YwNjUwMikkel Klint Thorius (guest)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/klintthorius/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MikkelKlintThorius/Ticket & tour-site for his show Nok Om Mig: https://mikkelklintthorius.dk/Derek Hartman: https://www.instagram.com/derekhartmandk https://youtube.com/c/robetrottinghttps://tiktok.com/@derekhartmandkwww.facebook.com/robetrottingConrad Molden:https://instagram.com/conradmoldencomedyhttps://youtube.com/c/conradmoldenhttps://tiktok.com/@conradmolden https://facebook.com/conradmoldenhttps://www.conradmolden.dk

The nisse is a centuries-old figure in Danish folklore, and every December these tiny, mischievous spirits take center stage. While Santa Claus makes one big appearance late in the month, the nisse are active the whole season long. With their short stature and bright red hats, nisse are often mistaken for Santa's elves, but they live very different lives. Rather than helping in a workshop, nisse belong to individual households. They slip in and out of the walls at night, hide everyday objects, turn milk strange colors, and generally make harmless trouble. On December 24 they expect a bowl of rice pudding, and if they don't get it, they're known to act out. In modern Denmark, nisse aren't just folklore—they're also big business. At the housewares shop where I work during the Christmas rush, we stock more than 450 nisse-related products. There are soft dolls, tree ornaments, and hand-painted figurines with names like Asbjørn, Thorkild, Elvin, Liam, and Olivia. And then there are the accessories: tiny doors for the nisse to "enter" the home, miniature doormats, wooden shoes, rocking chairs, honey cakes, buckets, sleds, toolboxes, and of course the classic bowl of rice pudding. Many families—especially those with small children, and a surprising number of older women living alone—create small nisse worlds inside their homes. Some families also hang kravlenisser, the little paper nisse that "crawl" up walls and windows. They're not as popular as they once were, mostly because they're inexpensive and don't fuel the booming nisse economy. Nisse season extends into the workplace, too. Danes might be assigned a nisseven, or "nisse friend," for secret gift-giving at the office. And at holiday parties, even managers may don the pointed red nisse hat—a cheerful symbol of community and self-irony that sometimes surprises international colleagues. From home traditions to office fun, the nisse remain an essential part of Christmas in Denmark: tiny spirits with big personalities, and an even bigger cultural footprint.

In this episode, Derek and Conrad sit down with Danish stand-up comedian Mikkel Klint Thorius, one of the sharpest, most fearless voices in Danish comedy, to talk about the jokes behind the jokes, the culture that shapes them, and why Denmark works precisely because Danes refuse to think it does.Mikkel shares how he first stepped on stage at age 10, thanks to an unusually supportive teacher. Since then, his path from suburban kid to national headliner has been fueled by curiosity, self-deprecation, and a sharp instinct for cutting through Danish hypocrisy.You'll hear Mikkel's take on:Why Danes complain their way into a better societyHow Danish comedians “tear their own people a new one” - lovinglyHis new show, Nok om mig (Enough About Me)Balancing comedy with new fatherhood and personal boundariesThe art of pushing audiences to the edge and pulling them backIt's a conversation about comedy, culture, criticism, and the strange Danish superpower of never being satisfied, delivered with the honesty and humor that make Mikkel one of the most compelling Danish comedians working today.➡️ This is part one of our conversation.

What does it mean to be a warrior when the odds are not in your favor and even the world seems to have turned its back on you? Welcome to the world of the heroes in Northern European myth. The divine heroes Beowulf, Sigurd, and Starkadr and the Germanic warriors who venerated them, lived in a world of stark extremes, where courage, honor, and strength were tested at every turn. Their stories weren't just entertainment; they were guides for living boldly in a harsh and uncertain world.While we no longer live in these warrior cultures of the past, those of us attempting to walk this path in the modern world still face the same eternal questions:How do you live knowing that everything you love will one day die?How do you act with honor in a world no longer believes in it?How do you continue to fight when you feel as though the battle cannot be won?This is the world these warriors inhabited, and through their deeds, their trials, and their defiance, we find answers to the timeless questions of how to live, act, and fight with honor today.So, strap in and get ready for a wild ride through the world of the Germanic Hero.  It's all in this episode of the Pearl Snap Tactical Podcast!Resources:Laughing Shall I Die: The Lives and Deaths of the Vikings, Tom ShippeySaga of the Volsungs, translated by Jackson CrawfordThe History of the Danes, Saxo GrammaticusBeowulf, translated by Seamus HeaneySupport the showGet Members Only Content when you upgrade to a premium membership on our Substack page.

Denmark's immigration laws have evolved over the past 20 years but the intention underpinning them is the same: only asylum seekers who have been invited should come to the country.Danish immigration rules are strict. In 2013, the Danes instituted a so-called “jewellery law” whereby jewellery and valuables could be taken from refugees entering the country to pay for their keep. And while the measure has rarely been enforced, it is an example of government messaging aimed at deterring refugees from travelling to its borders.Gaining residency rights takes longer than in other EU countries and family reunification is more difficult. Those who live in areas where more than 50 per cent of residents are deemed “non-Western” are refused family reunion. Failed asylum seekers are moved to deportation centres where the conditions are basic, the idea being they will self-deport rather than stay there.As the UK's Labour government cites Denmark as a model to be copied as it reforms its own immigration rules, EU states are increasingly looking northwards to the Danes for measures that stem arrivals and manage those already in the bloc.Irish Times Europe correspondent Naomi O'Leary explains.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Welcome back to Elk Horn, Iowa – a small Midwestern town that became the heart of Danish America. In this episode, we hear a remarkable coincidence about the first Danes to arrive here, visit the historic Danish Windmill with manager Lisa Steen Riggs, and explore The Museum of Danish America. I also get a personal tour of "Bedstemor's Hus," built in 1908 by the colorful local legend known as Prince Otto. From documentaries that made locals famous in Denmark to preserved heritage homes and cultural festivals, Elk Horn continues to celebrate its Danish roots with pride.

Welcome to Elk Horn, Iowa – a tiny farming town of about 650 people that calls itself Dane Country. I'm spending time with locals to find out how Danish it still is today. I stay in a Danish-style BnB, eat æbleskiver with medister sausage for breakfast, visit a real 1848 windmill brought here piece by piece from Denmark, and sit down with the people keeping the heritage alive. I also dive into the story of the Danes who left everything in the 1860s and crossed the Atlantic in search of a better life on the American prairie.
