Transcript [Music] From Washington State University Extension, this is Food Safety in a Minute. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration released the 2026 Food Code with new standards for food donations from retail food operations. The changes address food waste reduction efforts across the country, including food donations from grocers, restaurants, and other retail food operations. The Food Code: • Defines proper temperature control before donation. • Describes protection from cross contamination during storage and transport. • Requires clear identification and handling of donated foods. And • Requires consistent application of food safety practices regardless of whether food is sold or donated. Food operations will manage food donations as part of their entire food safety management program; supporting sustainability and safeguarding the prevention of foodborne illness of hunger-relief efforts.

The biggest car-carrying ships on the planet. A chip-testing rig that weighs as much as a small elephant. Investment manager Alex Summers takes us inside some of emerging markets' least-watched growth companies to explain how his team sees what others have missed. “Often, the crowd is going to be right,” he acknowledges, but when it's not, long-termism, access to management and asking different questions are key to how his team determines investment opportunities. Background:Alex Summers is co-manager of our Emerging Markets Leading Companies Fund, an investment manager in our Emerging Markets Equity Team and a member of the International Growth Portfolio Construction Group.In this conversation, he tells Short Briefings… host Leo Kelion why one of his team's guiding principles is that before investing in a company, he and his colleagues must be able to articulate the critical uncertainty about a stock and why others may be wrong. “Often, you can observe something about a company, and it may be true,” he explains. “But if everybody else believes that, you're not going to create any additional outperformance by owning those companies.” Companies discussed include:Hyundai Glovis – the logistics company that's invested in a dozen ultra-sized ships and now sees an opportunity in transporting spent electric vehicle batteriesChroma ATE – the test-equipment company whose customised cabinets provide critical checks for NVIDIA and NasaSilergy – the mainland China-based semiconductor company specialising in power-management chipsReliance Industries – India's most valuable company and its heavy investment in solar panels, green hydrogen and battery storage systemsToss – the South Korean financial super-app that provides banking, payment and ecommerce services Resources:Baillie Gifford websiteEmerging Markets Leading Companies FundEmerging markets: from imitators to innovators (video)Emerging markets: the next engines of global growthShort Briefings on Long Term Thinking podcast archiveWhen consensus fails Companies mentioned include:·       Chroma ATE·       Hyundai Glovis·       Meituan·       NVIDIA·       PB Fintech·       Reliance Industries·       Samsung Electronics·       Silergy·       SK hynix·       Talabat·       Toss·       TSMCTimecodes (audio version):00:00 Introduction01:45  From Toronto to Edinburgh02:35 A lesser-covered class of companies03:35 Taking a five-to-10-year view04:15  Forming non-consensus views05:35 Hyundai Glovis and EV batteries07:10  Corporate governance reform in South Korea09:30 Getting access to senior leaders11:50   Chroma ATE's chip-testing equipment14:50  Building conviction in Silergy16:30  Declining to invest in Talabat18:20  Visiting Reliance Industries in Jamnagar20:45 Retaining sell discipline22:00 Toss and private companies24:15  Moving towards physical assets25:35 Podcasts and Substack picks  Glossary of terms (in order of mention):Magnificent Seven: A nickname for seven large US technology-related companies – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Tesla.Holding period: The length of time an investment is owned.Corporate governance: The systems and processes by which a company is directed and controlled, including board accountability and the treatment of shareholders.Minority shareholder: An investor who owns less than a controlling stake in a company and cannot direct it alone.Bottom-up investing: Assessing individual companies rather than starting with forecasts for economies, markets or sectors.Economies of scale: Advantages that arise as a company handles more volume, reducing the average cost of each unit.Profit margin: The proportion of revenue left as profit after costs have been deducted.Graphics processing unit (GPU): A chip designed to perform many calculations in parallel, originally for graphics but now also widely used in AI.Analog chip: A semiconductor that processes continuous real-world signals, such as sound, temperature or voltage.Flotation or initial public offering (IPO): The process by which a private company first offers shares to public investors and lists them on a stock exchange.Cash flow: The movement of money into and out of a business over time.Capital allocation: The decisions a company makes about how to use its money, such as investing in growth, making acquisitions, paying dividends or reducing debt.Business vertical: A distinct business area within a company, usually focused on a particular product, service or market.Overweight: Holding more of an investment, sector or theme than the index used for a comparison.Fintech: Technology-driven financial services, such as digital payments, lending or banking tools.Insurance brokerage: A business that helps customers compare and buy insurance, acting as an intermediary between them and insurers.Capital-light: Describes a business that needs relatively little investment in physical assets to operate and grow.

“I remember my mother once told me if I ever caught fire, I was to drop to the ground and roll over and over and back and forth until the flames were out. I looked at my legs and started screaming; all I saw was my skin white, hanging down,” says Brazilian businesswoman Karoline Santana, 25, who suffered horrific burns to 30 per cent of her body after the boat she was in exploded on the Hawkesbury River, north of Sydney. - “Lembro que minha mãe me disse se alguma vez eu pegasse fogo era para rolar no chão que apagava. Eu olhei para minhas pernas e comecei a gritar, porque tudo que eu vi foi minha pele branca, minha pele pendurada,” conta a jovem Karoline Santana, de 25 anos, que teve 30% do corpo queimado após a explosão do barco no rio Hawkesbury em Sydney no domingo de páscoa. Sozinha, à espera da família que está tentando sair do Brasil, Karoline tem recebido apoio da sua ‘família na Austrália' - a comunidade brasileira, diz o marido, Sam Chan, que também estava no barco e teve 5% do corpo queimado. Também falamos com a empresária Cristina Talacko, de Sydney, que tem divulgado as campanhas de apoio aos sobreviventos do barco e que nos falou porque resolveu ajudar e sua ligação com uma outra sobrevivente do mesmo desastre.

 A Thursday night in October. A narrow bar on 8th Avenue in Calgary. A pile of crumpled fives and tens that added up to $7,000.That is where GEDfest starts, and this is the episode where the people who were standing in that room tell you how it happened. GEDfest is Gord Edgar Downie Fest, a celebration of the life and music of Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip, and in 2026 it runs in twelve chapters across Canada and into the United States. It began with a handful of guys in a basement in Crestmont learning "Road Apples" front to back, and one sentence from Don Martin that changed everything: the only way we could play this live is if we had a charity.Trickle Down is the band at the centre of it, and their origin is not a music story, it is a birthday story. Don picked up a Squier starter kit in his mid-forties with a $300 work bonus burning a hole in his pocket. A 50th birthday jam. Then a 60th birthday jam ten years later, with a singer who had a great voice and never once learned the words. Keith Dick sat down behind a kit and learned to play drums, more or less, that afternoon. Everything that follows - the Legion, the Palace, the Big Four, Buffalo - runs back through that room.WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE• Keith on the phonetics problem. GEDfest has been pronounced just about every way a person can pronounce it, and he is quietly keeping score.• Don's version of the origin story does not match Keith's version of the origin story, and the gap between them is the best five minutes of the episode.• Jeff Hiscock could not get his own gear through the front door of the first GEDfest, because the room he was about to play in was already full. What he did about it involves reloading the car.• A tax lawyer in Toronto that nobody in the organization had ever met, one link on The Tragically Hip's website, and the donation that made Don think this thing might actually have legs.• Kevin McKay and his wife Tracy were the first two people to walk into a GEDfest that Keith had not personally invited. How they found out about it is a very Calgary answer.• Ian Martin's opening move after seeing Trickle Down play a Canada Day gig was to walk up and start hugging the band. His second move was the website contact form, and Keith still remembers opening it.• A man in his twenties sang every word from the front row of a packed room last year, then asked Jeff to sign the set list and told him why he was there. Jeff still gets goosebumps telling it.• Ken Bellis on the thing about The Hip's bass parts that you do not hear until you sit down and try to play one.THE PANEL• Keith Dyck, co-founder of GEDfest and the drummer in Trickle Down, from Calgary. He is a partner in a wealth management firm by day, which has nothing to do with any of this. His favourite song to play is 'Blow at High Dough', and he has a confession about 'Courage' that he saves for the next episode.• Don Martin, founding member of Trickle Down, from Calgary. Keith's father-in-law. Came for 'Scared', stayed for 'Nautical Disaster', and once had WestJet lose his luggage and find it again on the morning of a podcast taping.• Ian Martyn, board director of chapters, from Calgary. Twelve cities this year, and he can tell you a story from most of them. Describes his own involvement as a bromance, and he is not wrong.• Jeff Hiscock, guitar player in Trickle Down, from Calgary. Favourite to listen to is 'Fully Completely'. Favourite to play is 'Nautical Disaster', for a reason involving singer Dave Harris's shoulder that has now become a nightly ritual.• Kevin McKay, OG GEDhead, from Calgary. Works in the medical industry, which is part of why this one landed the way it did. Currently on a 'Poets' kick, and he is right to be.• Ken Bellis, bass player in Trickle Down, from Calgary. Went with 'Grace, Too' inside four seconds, as a bass player is obliged to do. Also wore the wrong shirt.GEDFEST 2026GEDfest is Gord Edgar Downie Fest, and in its ninth year it runs in twelve chapters across Canada and, for the first time, in the United States. Every chapter raises money for a cause in its own community. Find your city at gedfest.ca. jD runs the Toronto chapter, playing the Horseshoe Tavern on Saturday, October 17, with Grace, 2 on stage, raising money for Campfire Circle and the Murphy Family Fund in Precision Medicine in Pancreatic Cancer.

In the north-eastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the party was initially projected to only just scrape through, with its worst ever election result. A few hours later, however, it had dipped below the 5% threshold needed to stay in parliament. Meanwhile, the far-right AfD was on track to win the most votes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, but it is unlikely to govern as other parties refuse to work with it.Also on the programme: Ukraine fires a new weapon for the first time, in a major assault on Moscow; and President Trump's plans for a triumphal arch filled with munitions. (Photo: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz gives a statement at the CDU headquarters in Berlin Credit: Reuters/Christian Mang)

In 1970, two merchant marines, Al Glatkowski and Clyde McKay, successfully commandeered the SS Columbia Eagle carrying nearly 5,000 500- and 750-pound napalm bombs, safely evacuated the crew, and sailed the ship to Cambodia, where it was surrendered. This act was done in opposition to the genocide occurring in Vietnam. Al Glatkowski joins Clearing the FOG for this first installment, in which he describes what led him to take the action and how it was conducted, as well as the aftermath. In this time of total disregard of international law by the United States, and as more members of the military question their involvement in what the US is doing, we remember the bravery and resolve of Al and Clyde.

I'm super excited to introduce you all to Jeff Campbell. Jeff is a digital marketing veteran and e-commerce entrepreneur and professor at Wake Forest University. His strategic vision and operational approach have led multiple successful business acquisitions and exits. Jeff currently leads AI Commerce, a global digital agency focused on marketplaces and e-commerce, which he co-founded in 2020. So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Jeff.Jeff 00:00:31  Thanks for having me, Josh. I'm excited.Josh 00:00:32  What is there anything that you've done with your agency or with previous experience to really start turning a business that the average order for? I guess the average number of orders per customer, instead of it being one, you start increasing it to 2 to 3 because that's where you start to get this flywheel of, all right, I can spend I could even spend more to acquire this customer that it's not even break even. I'm losing money on the front end, but I make it up in the long in the long run. So are there any strategies or advice you would share to our listeners in order to help get those second, third, fourth sales and repeat purchases?Jeff 00:01:14  Yeah, I can't stress enough how important first party data is, specifically email addresses.Jeff 00:01:19  So if you can get them to your website to somehow register a product or an, you know, there's some rules with Amazon, you know how how you can get information, what you can stick in the box, etc. but, figure that out because I think that first party data is going to be so crucial for brand owners in the future for targeting as as privacy laws will hopefully come out soon. And, and, and the data sharing of of the platforms are probably going to stay heavily with the platform. So, here and now, rant over about one p data. You know, Amazon and most of these platforms have some sort of retargeting, right. So if you know that you're you're hawking air filters and they go out every three months and you need a replacement. Use your email database if you have it, use some of the the first party data of your platforms. Be it Amazon or Walmart. A lot of that does take some DSP work, which comes with a higher price tag. But retargeting is one strong, strong way to to remind people about the previous purchase and time to to repurchase.Jeff 00:02:24  I think that's probably the big one. Again, the email relationship and again, having first party data to be able to do that and then from there create and lookalike models. Right. So understanding the behaviors of those folks and starting to target people, to make maybe their first purchase because they look a lot, a lot like or they act and behave like, past purchasers of yours too. Works really well for that initial. And then you can retarget them as well.Josh 00:02:49  Yeah, it makes great sense. I love that now, Jeff. I would love to dive in further into these profitability or just overall metrics that people should be tracking that become those mile markers that lead to scale. And let's dive deep into what each of those, you know, metrics mean and how, you know, let's say take an an Amazon e-commerce seller today, how they should be tracking them now, and maybe some of the tools they should be using to make sure that they're setting up the correct foundation.Jeff 00:03:20  Sure, sure.Jeff 00:03:22  so, you know, I, I'd really look at making sure you are tracking the standard, you know, impressions, clicks, click through rate, you know, cost, CPC, etc.. we always want to look at that variability as CPC. That's really important. some, some of the other ones, the new to brand metrics where you can get them, the cost per orders and kind of go into that customer acquisition cost and LTV. so CPO cost per order is, is important. and then as we as we know, especially with Amazon and some of the other marketplaces are starting to do this. The reliance and relationship between paid and organic. The more you pay to get some keyword wins, the more you're going to see yourself organic. So you have to compile some of those sales from both paid and organic channels against the cost of the advertising, because there is a relationship there. So looking at that total Roas or that total ACOs or tacos, as the hungry people like to say is important as well.Jeff 00:04...

Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar in Berlin for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, with co-host Thaddeus McCotter: Dempsey describes European Baltic and Nordic leaders flocking to Kyiv, yet warns that "moral outrage" lacks a cohesive strategic plan to negotiate an end to the war. She highlights the rising prominence of the pro-Russian, far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in state elections. Interestingly, an ideological rift has emerged as radical AfD factions in East Germany sour on MAGA due to Trump's policies on Iran. McCotter delivers a severe critique of the MAGA-AfD relationship, arguing MAGA should never have "played footsies" with neo-Nazis, and asserting the AfD is fundamentally aligned with Vladimir Putin rather than the United States—their temporary embrace of MAGA merely a superficial attraction. Although West Germans have abandoned historical sentiments toward Russiadue to the Ukraine invasion, East Germany remains deeply split, harboring lingering sentimental pro-Russian views and separate post-unification cultural dynamics.

Tatian was an important but controversial Christian writer of the second century, living approximately AD 120–180. His background Tatian tells us that he was born “in the land of the Assyrians.” The exact location is uncertain. Therefore, we should not confidently claim that he was born in Edessa. “Assyria” may refer broadly to the Syrian-Mesopotamian East. Tatian, Address to the Greeks 42 He was apparently raised in a pagan environment and received a Greek education. While searching through different religions and philosophies, he encountered the Hebrew Scriptures and became convinced that biblical revelation was older and wiser than Greek philosophy. His relationship with Justin Martyr Tatian traveled to Rome, where he became a student of Justin Martyr, one of Christianity's most important early apologists. Justin attempted to show that whatever was true in Greek philosophy ultimately came from the divine Logos. Tatian was much more confrontational. He believed that Greek culture had become proud, morally corrupt, and falsely presented itself as the source of human wisdom. Address to the Greeks Tatian's surviving apologetic work is called Λόγος πρὸς Ἕλληνας — Address to the Greeks. In it, he: Defends Christianity against pagan criticism. Argues that Moses and biblical revelation were older than Greek philosophy. Rejects pagan mythology and idolatry. Presents God as the Creator of everything. Describes the Logos as proceeding from God without dividing or diminishing God. Teaches that immortality is not naturally possessed by the soul but is received through union with God. The Diatessaron Tatian's greatest contribution was the Diatessaron, composed around AD 170. The Greek title διὰ τεσσάρων — dia tessarōn means “through four” or “from four.” Tatian combined Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John into one continuous account of the life of Jesus. In Syriac tradition it became known as: ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܕܡܚܠܛܐ Ewangeliyōn da-Meḥalleṭē “The Gospel of the Mixed” or “The Combined Gospel.” Instead of reading four separate Gospel accounts, many Syriac-speaking Christians heard the story of Christ as one unified narrative. It exercised enormous influence in the Syrian churches, and Ephrem the Syrian later wrote a commentary on it. Beth Mardutho's Syriac biographical entry Why did Tatian become controversial? After Justin's martyrdom, Tatian appears to have returned eastward and adopted an extremely rigorous ascetic position. Irenaeus associated him with the Encratites, from Greek ἐγκρατής, meaning “self-controlled” or “continent.” They reportedly rejected: Marriage Sexual relations Meat Wine, including its use in the Eucharist Ascetic discipline was respected in early Christianity, especially in the East. Tatian's difficulty was not simply that he practiced strict discipline; he apparently transformed personal discipline into a universal theological requirement. His importance Tatian should be studied as both a foundational and complicated pioneer. His greatest contribution was bringing the four Gospels together and helping transmit their message into the Syriac Christian world. His greatest weakness was allowing his hostility toward Greek culture and his extreme asceticism to carry him beyond the Church's accepted teaching. He demonstrates an important historical principle: a Christian writer may make an extraordinary contribution without every part of his theology being accepted. Tatian's later errors do not erase the immense historical influence of the Diatessaron.

Greg Scarlatoiu, President and CEO of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, analyzes the multifaceted security threats posed by Pyongyang. Scarlatoiu describes North Korea as a post-communist, dynastic kleptocracy and a crime family masquerading as a nation-state. Under Kim Jong-un, the regime has consolidated its intelligence and police agencies while streamlining its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Scarlatoiu explains that North Korea's war economy exploits its people's human rights and security to fund weapons, which it now exports globally to Russia and Iran. The discussion, co-hosted by Gordon Chang, highlights active military provocations along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), including recent boundary crossings. Finally, Scarlatoiu and Chang evaluate how controversial remarks by the Trump administration praising Kim Jong-un have strained trust in extended deterrence and undermined relationships within the vital US-South Korea alliance.

Bill Roggio reflects on the five-year anniversary of the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, highlighting the accuracy of the maps he built that predicted the Taliban's takeover. He describes the withdrawal as disorganized, noting there was zero plan for the Afghan government or military equipment. Roggio specifically criticizes the abandonment of Bagram Air Base, which he believes was the superior evacuation site. He also addresses current Middle East policy, dismissing proposed land blockades against Iran as "fanciful" and impractical. He warns that current strategic failures mirror the indifference seen in Afghanistan. (1)

Angela DiFulvio explains a theoretical method for detecting nuclear weapons in low Earth orbit to prevent catastrophes like the 1962 Starfish Prime experiment, which destroyed a third of existing satellites. She describes an "inspector" satellite designed to induce a unique radioactive signature from fissile material using high-energy protons. DiFulvio details technical challenges, such as "pulse shape discrimination," to distinguish weapon-related neutrons from background cosmic radiation in the harsh space environment. She suggests that an international agency like the IAEAmight oversee these inspectors to ensure space remains weapon-free. DiFulvio emphasizes that while tests can occur in classified environments, more research is needed on the survivability of sensing electronics. She warns that a modern orbital nuclear detonation would be catastrophic for global infrastructure, specifically mentioning the vulnerability of massive constellations like Starlink. (8)

Lorenzo Fiori describes a "disaster" situation in Europe caused by severe drought and record heat, with water restrictions implemented in Swiss towns and critically low levels in northern Italy's Po River. The drought has turned the normally green Alps brown and disrupted lake navigation. Simultaneously, Sicily's Mount Etna has entered a prolonged eruption phase, spewing ash for seven days and forcing the cancellation of 700 flights at Catania airport during the peak tourist season. Fiori notes the chaos caused by tourists seeking "eruption selfies" in dangerous areas. For a cultural reprieve, he recommends the Bernina Express rail journey, which reaches the highest railway point in Europe. He also shares a traditional recipe for polenta with Gorgonzola cheese, paired with local Valtellina wine, though he expresses concern that the drought may soon impact milk production from Alpine cows.

Anatol Lieven: The discussion highlights a dystopian shift in modern naval combat, where the Russian ghost fleet employs Mad Max tactics, using netting and spikes, to defend against Ukrainian drone attacks. Anatol Lieven describes a global spread of drone technology that threatens energy prices and international stability. Both Russia and Ukraine suffer from the illusion of an imminent total victory, despite a grinding stalemate in which Russia holds a stronger economic position because of its self-funded war effort while Ukraine remains dependent on precarious European aid. Lieven warns of a potential sea war escalation if Russia retaliates against the seizure of its ships, potentially drawing NATO and the US into a direct naval clash. The conversation also touches on British politics, noting that Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces immense pressure regarding immigration and military spending despite his desire to focus on domestic issues. (1)

Edmund Fitton-Brown describes the Houthis' methodical campaign, likely coordinated with Iran, to intimidate Saudi Arabia and prevent its entry into the Abraham Accords. Recent strikes on Mocha and Jazan highlight a resurgence of the 12-year-old Yemeni civil war, which remains a primary source of regional instability. While a new Sunni alliance between Pakistan and Turkey offers symbolic support to the Saudis, it lacks the practical military "teeth" to intervene on the ground. Meanwhile, the UAE is asserting itself as an agile regional powerhouse, investing in high-tech infrastructure and maintaining an uncompromising stance against the Muslim Brotherhood. (7)

In The Londinium Chronicles, Gaius (John Batchelor) and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos) explore the intersections of Roman history and modern geopolitics. and Germanicus: In their expanding Londinium wine bar, the hosts discuss the unraveling of Ukraine. Germanicus describes a strategic bane where Russia utilizes siege tactics to destroy the Ukrainian economy, targeting water treatment plants and fuel hubs. The depletion of US interceptors represents a ballistic bane, allowing missiles to strike with impunity. Germanicus dismisses the new US nuclear strategy as hysteria born from a weak position. (1)

Rhino Records co-founder Richard Foos reveals how a scrappy record shop invented reissue culture, chasing master tapes, getting arrested for selling bootleg records, memories of Frank Zappa, Darby Crash and more. Topics Include: Foos discusses being called originator of reissue culture, credits early employee's phrase. Started as a Los Angeles record shop in 1973. Recalls how scarce and cheap rare records were before collecting culture existed. Describes hunting records at warehouses, swap meets, and Salvation Army stores. Notes punk rock's DIY ethos sparked broader music fandom and collecting. Rhino's shop became a punk hangout; Darby Crash was banned for chaos. Explains how punk bands pressed 45s since albums were too costly. James Brown's out-of-print catalog became Rhino's breakthrough first major reissue. Details licensing process: major labels' passive licensing departments simply approved requests. Rhino insisted on original master tapes, never secondary sources or stampers. Engineer Bill Englott restored recordings purely, never altering original mixes. Some projects stalled without usable masters, like a punk box set. Nuggets compilation missed "96 Tears" for years due to licensing issues. Foos explains Rhino's sequencing philosophy: welcoming newcomers, not strict chronology. Doo-wop box set, initially unpopular internally, became Rhino's best-selling release. Discusses 20-25 year nostalgia cycles driving collectibility of past decades' music. Notes scarce 2000s vinyl pressings now make that era highly collectible. Rhino focused on best listening experience over rarities for rarity's sake. Foos recounts pre-Rhino bootlegging ties and friendship with bootleg artist Bill Stout. Reveals he was arrested for selling bootlegs during a warehouse sale. Discusses how record labels misunderstood fandom, limiting artist output and bootlegs. Reflects on vinyl's spiritual appeal despite many records never being played. Compares cassette-era scarcity to streaming's shifting availability of licensed content. Predicts streaming remains the future, praises YouTube's vast musical accessibility. Doubts catalog values will keep rising, questions which artists endure historically. Criticizes a post-Rhino "L.A. Nuggets" box set for prioritizing rarity over listenability. Recalls Kinky Friedman rejecting a hits compilation over disliking his originals. Explains publishing hurdles licensing music for Freaks and Geeks and WKRP DVDs. Describes working with Frank Zappa on Beat the Boots and elaborate packaging. Shares current work: Shout Factory, wife's Narrative Method, and a new podcast.

Jim McTague analyzes the July jobs report, which unexpectedly showed a loss of 23,000 jobs, signaling a cutback in spending by those "with little." He describes a "K-shaped economy" where the wealthy continue to spend while others struggle with high gas prices and inflation. In Lancaster County, the economy remains uneven; while tourism and manufacturing are strong, hiring for non-specialists is weak. The property market is particularly discouraging for buyers, with low inventory driving prices toward one million dollars for decent homes. McTague observes local economic health through visits to Costco and Olive Garden, noting that despite high traffic, people are increasingly discount-conscious. He also mentions the high-security development of a new data center, which is expected to contribute significantly to the local tax base through 2028. (3)

Harry Sidebottom describes the reality of Roman gladiators, noting they were often heavy-set due to a carbohydrate-rich diet designed to provide protective fat. These fighters were glamorous figures who enacted Roman virtues of courage and physical strength for the public. While many were slaves or prisoners, others were free men who volunteered to escape grinding poverty. Most gladiators fought only once or twice a year, with a survival rate of roughly seven in eight. The segment also notes a rare historical instance where a Roman audience felt sympathy for elephants being massacred in the arena. (5)

James Holmes and Gordon Chang address the critical lack of frigates in the U.S. Navy, which Holmes describes as essential low-cost platforms for monitoring adversaries. The current fleet is "top-heavy," relying on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers that are overworked. Holmes explains that the new Constellation-class frigate program has been delayed because the Navy continues to "monkey with the designs," resulting in vessels that are destroyer-sized but under-armed. Meanwhile, China and Russia have conducted joint naval exercises since 2005 to improve interoperability and provide military options in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. Holmes suggests the U.S. should consider leveraging the superior shipbuilding capacity of allies like South Korea, which claims it could produce five Arleigh Burkes annually, whereas the U.S. struggles to build two. The focus remains on regaining the ability to build plentiful, cost-effective combatants. (3)

Peter Huessy provides a historical overview of nuclear arms control, starting with the 1972 SALT I agreement, which actually codified a buildup of weapons while banning missile defenses. He describes the "window of vulnerability" in the 1980s when Soviet SS-18 missiles threatened a first strike. The START I and START II treaties in the 1990s achieved the first real reductions, with START II aiming to ban destabilizing multiple-warhead (MIRV) land-based missiles. However, START II unraveled when Russia demanded limits on U.S. missile defenses. Following the Moscow Treatyand the 2010 New START, the arms control regime has effectively collapsed. Huessy emphasizes that today, there is no active treaty governing nuclear weapons between the U.S. and Russia. He underscores the importance of past verification measures, like "portal monitoring" in missile factories, which are no longer in place. (6)

Humberto Briceño describes Venezuela as a state captured by a transnational alliance of criminal organizations, including colectivos (paramilitaries) and narco-traffickers. He criticizes the decision to leave "gangsters" like Delcy Rodríguez in power while attempting to rebuild democracy. Briceño argues that the judiciary and military must be entirely replaced, as they currently serve only as agents of the regime. Despite $13 billion in recent oil earnings, massive corruption has left the funds unaccounted for. He maintains that free elections, ideally by March 2027, are impossible without first dismantling the criminal infrastructure and placing the military under civil authority. Briceño praises the leadership of María Corina Machado and Edmundo González, noting the Venezuelan people are desperate for transformation after three decades of state-sponsored violence and economic collapse.

Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, describes a Europe struggling with record heat, wildfires, and critically low river levels that are hampering nuclear power and agriculture. She argues these patterns reflect a deteriorating climate requiring a global response. The conversation shifts to a massive migration incident where 60,000 young men attempted to enter a Spanish exclave from Morocco. Dempsey explains that this surge is being exploited by far-right parties across Europe, such as the AfD in Germany, who capitalize on voter dissatisfaction. She notes that despite bilateral labor agreements, the political fallout is fueling nationalism. (2)1651 SPAIN

Gregory Copley reports the Trump administration has imposed tariffs on Australia, alleging "forced labor" practices—a claim Copley describes as spurious. This move antagonizes a loyal ally that has fought alongside the US for over a century. Consequently, Australia and Canada are beginning to lessen their strategic dependence on the US. Copley warns that such unilateral protectionism could weaken the long-term structure of the Western alliance. (9)1971 IRAN

Thaddeus McCotter describes the Michigan Democratic Senate primary as a "civil war" between establishment candidate Haley Stevens and progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. The candidates are sharply divided over AIPAC funding and support for Israel. Stevens is endorsed by high-profile figures like Gretchen Whitmer and Barack Obama. The result will indicate if the Democratic Socialists of America can succeed in a statewide race in a swing state. (15)1690
