Today, Jess, Les, and Bishop unpack South Korean President Lee's first visit to Washington and his meeting with President Trump. The two leaders struck a warm rapport, with Trump raising ideas about engagement with North Korea and Lee casting Trump as potential peacemaker on the peninsula. But as Seoul works to balance relations with both Washington and Beijing, Trump's out-of-the-box, business-style approach may add unpredictability to one of the world's most sensitive regions.Will Trump's style strengthen—or strain—the U.S.–South Korea alliance? Can engagement with Kim Jong Un move forward without a real strategy? Does Trump's deal-making style translate into real policy, or just make for good headlines?Check out these stories that helped shape our Fellows' discussion: https://apnews.com/video/trump-repeatedly-touts-great-relationship-with-north-korean-leader-kim-jong-un-da5084139a49459cb61f6dbe5567b13a https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/08/25/trump-south-korea-president-visit/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy5pdlgl64zo @NotTVJessJones@LesterMunson@BishopGarrisonLike what we're doing here?

Four speakers, all members of the ISAPP Students and Fellows association (SFA), join the podcast to describe the work they presented via poster at the meeting: […] The post Highlighted Posters from the 2025 ISAPP Annual Meeting appeared first on International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP).

Today, Les, Bishop, and Jess unpack the surprise firing of Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, alongside other senior military leaders last Friday. Reports have linked Kruse's ouster to the disputed assessment of U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear program—where the DIA judged damage as temporary while President Trump declared Iran's capabilities “obliterated.” The shakeups follow other recent removals at NSA, the Joint Chiefs, and even senior analysts, raising questions about politicization and the long-term health of America's intelligence apparatus.Are these firings about accountability—or loyalty? With quiet clearance revocations and reports of reduced intel-sharing with allies, are we weakening our ability to respond to adversaries like Iran, Russia, and China? And should we give the administration the benefit of the doubt, or are these purges creating more risk than resolve?Check out these stories that helped shape our Fellows' discussion: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2dj217z2w6o https://www.reuters.com/world/us/latest-purge-hegseth-removes-head-pentagon-intelligence-agency-other-senior-2025-08-22/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/08/22/defense-intelligence-agency-kruse-fired-hegseth/ @NotTVJessJones@LesterMunson@BishopGarrisonLike what we're doing here?

Today, Jess, Les, and Amy break down the U.S. deployment of three Navy destroyers off the coast of Venezuela—a move the Trump administration says is aimed at countering drug cartels and fentanyl trafficking. President Trump has also labeled Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro a “narco-terrorist,” doubled the reward for his arrest, and authorized the Pentagon to use military force against cartels, some of which his administration now classifies as terrorist organizations.Is this naval deployment about cartel crackdowns, Maduro, or something else? Does this show of naval power risk escalating tensions, or does it provide the deterrence Washington needs against drug trafficking operations? Does this move help counter China, Russia, and Iran's growing influence in the hemisphere?Check out these stories that helped shape our Fellows' discussion: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-warships-venezuela-trump-nicolas-maduro-tension-drug-cartel-accusations/ https://apnews.com/article/trump-venezuela-destroyers-maduro-drug-cartels-e33794ebc24d9031e536d132ce205b4c https://www.foxnews.com/us/u-s-warships-patrol-international-waters-venezuela-trump-vows-stop-cartels@NotTVJessJones@LesterMunson@amykmitchellLike what we're doing here?

Why are there among our Fellows who conclude the new UAD3.6 is a terror?  It may be that it is a change from what we already know, and everybody (not just appraisers) fear changes.  Or maybe it is because this will require appraisers to learn a new "language".  After all, what currently works in report writing will be obsolete when UAD3.6 comes out.  Or maybe it is just that appraisers think the GSEs have no call or right to meddle in what works.  Hey!  It ain't broke, so don't fix it.  No, it's not broke.  But it is old and outdated. So, to claim "UAD3.6 is a terror" may be jumping the gun a little.  Between this writing and November 2, 2026 when UAD goes into effect, there are approximately 14-months within which appraisers can learn and then conquer USD3.6.  Is there going to be some disruption of appraisal life as we know it?  Yes, of course.  Are some of our Fellows going to find this transition difficult? Surely.  Will the UAD3.6 that rolls out in September of 2025 be the same UAD3.6 that presents in November 2026?  Probably not.  So, what are we appraisers going to do?  Some will see these changes are a reason to collapse and fail.  Others will see it as an opportunity to rise to the occasion.  Really, is that not how we should all be? So, we can collapse in tears of frustration, or triumph with tears of joy and enthusiasm.  If you think UAD3.6 is a terror you'll be right.  And it you think it is an opportunity to excel, you'll be right, too. In any event, keep your E&O Insurance up-to-date, and an experienced administrative law attorney's number handy in your phone.  Those don't mean you are afraid of anything.  It merely means  your wise.

What is going on these days with the Linux Professional Institute (LPI)? I sat down with Matthew Rice, the current Executive Director of LPI to find out! Way back in 1998/99, I was one of the co-founders of LPI, still today the leading independent certification program for Linux administrators. I haven't been involved in 20 years but was recently inducted into the LPI “Hall of Fellows” - https://www.lpi.org/hall-of-fellows/ - and Matt Rice visited me in Vermont to give me an actual physical award. So I seized the opportunity to ask Matt a few questions and understand what LPI is doing in 2025.

What happens when a quiet weekend in Missouri turns into a chilling encounter with two creatures that shouldn't exist?In this gripping and recent episode, we hear from James, a listener from the Ozarks who recounts a string of intense encounters — from eerie owl mimicry and bone-rattling whoops in the night, to the day he and his girlfriend saw two humanlike figures wading through Fellows Lake… and vanish right before their eyes.You'll hear stories from the Mark Twain National Forest, Coy Bald, Assumption Abbey, and Fellows Lake — complete with wood knocks, massive pinecones thrown at their tent, overpowering smells, and a close-up encounter with beings that defy logic. Could these creatures cloak themselves to avoid detection? Are there Sasquatch with the ability to become nearly invisible?More than just another encounter, James's story taps into something deeper — the strange connection between curiosity, intuition, and the parts of the woods we're not meant to understand.Don't miss this one.

Today, Jess, Martha, and Les examine the Trump Administration's surprise pivot to allow Nvidia and AMD to resume sales of select AI chips to China—a reversal from export controls implemented under both Trump's first term and the Biden Administration. The move, described by the administration as a “pragmatic trade-off,” aims to keep American firms in the Chinese market, but has drawn bipartisan criticism as a dangerous precedent—trading national security for short-term business gains. Is this a smart economic play that maintains leverage over China, or does it erode long-term U.S. security? Does this decision undercut efforts to build an export control regime that's predictable for industry and credible to allies? And if China can already acquire these chips, does restricting—or permitting—sales really make a difference?Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-13/trump-s-deal-with-nvidia-offers-path-forward-in-global-trade-war https://fortune.com/asia/2025/08/14/us-china-trump-revenue-share-export-controls-nvidia-amd/ https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5446890-nvidia-amd-china-chip-deal/ Follow our experts on Twitter: @NotTVJessJones@marthamillerdc@lestermunson Like what we're doing here?

Hour 2 - Segment 1 - Thurs Aug 14 2025 - The Sheriff's Runoff Debate - Rusty Clevenger vs. Bill Rhyne hosted by Charlie James part 1 of 4 - And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to your Spartanburg County sheriff's debate. We've got Bill Ron and Rusty Clevenger joining us this afternoon. The candidates have been advised of the rules for the debate, and they have agreed to them. So let's just jump right into it. I've asked, texters to, send us questions as well. But first, we wanna start off with just an introduction. Fellows, give us a little ninety second introduction of yourself. We'll start with you, Bill Ryan. Thanks, Charlie. I appreciate you guys having this today. Yeah. My name's Bill Ryan. I am, 50 years old, born and raised in Spartanburg County. I, graduated from Chapman High School and, joined United States Marine Corps. After I got out of the Marine Corps, I went to work with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office where I spent a majority of my time working in community policing. I was a resident deputy in the Arcadia Fair Forest area. In February, I transitioned to the South Carolina Highway Patrol working in various roles across the, Upstate Of South Carolina, predominantly in Greenville and Spartanburg until I went over to the ACE team and rode the motorcycle. In 02/2008, I transitioned over into public relations where I remained until I retired in 2022. I retired as lieutenant over the community relations, public relations, public education recruiting, and for you for the entire state of South Carolina. I went to work with American Services as director of training there. I was I was directly responsible for approximately 1,500 officers over seven states. Unfortunately, that company sold out after the death of mister Harrison, and I had the opportunity to return to the highway patrol. I returned to the highway patrol's community outreach coordinator where I remained for the next two and a half years until I resigned on June 2 in order to announce that I was running for sheriff here in Spartanburg County. You know, often ask why I'm running for sheriff, and I tell people I just have such a vested interest. I just had a burden put on my heart to run. You know, I was born and raised in this county. I raised my children in this county. My grandchildren are likely to be raised in this county, and I just have a vested interest in where this county is going and just recognize that the sheriff's office is where quality of life starts for so many people within our county. Alright. Thank you very much. Rusty Clevenger? Good afternoon. Thanks everyone for listening in. I really appreciate you guys, putting this on for us. My name is Rusty Clevenger. I'm 61 years old. I'm almost, end of this month will be forty years as a public servant for Spartanburg County. I began my career in 1985, of course, with the sheriff's office where I was uniform patrol deputy. I stayed there for approximately two and a half years. And after graduating the academy in 1987, I applied for and was given a a chance to start investigations, and that's where I've been ever since. Start off narcotics and vice investigation. I was then promoted to, detective where I stayed for a number of years. The last five of which of the eleven year stamp with the sheriff's office was violent crime and homicide detective. After then in 1997, I was asked to go to the solicitor's office where I stayed as an investigator doing violent crime investigation. In the last sixteen and a half, of my career, as your Spartanburg County coroner doing death investigation and dealing with victim families, and that's what it's all about for me. I've been asked about why I'm running for sheriff, and a lot of it has to do with getting to the bottom, getting to the truth of a matter, and being able to assist victim families in the worst time of need, and also making sure that that crime is solved. Alright. Our first question comes from a, a texter, and it was one ...

Today, Martha, Amy, and Matt unpack the Trump administration's decision to grant another 90-day pause on proposed tariffs against China—a new round of extensions that leave businesses in a wait-and-see mode until November. The pause reflects a broader shift in U.S. policy, where economic deal-making often takes precedence over national security imperatives, flipping the old model which put the onus on business leaders to do the right thing for our national security.Does this strategy strengthen America's national security posture or simply prolong uncertainty? What leverage does the U.S. have over China, and are Americans prepared to bear higher costs in the name of economic security? Can the administration bring the public on board with the idea that economic tools are now central to national security—and will this approach yield real results before patience runs out?Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/11/trump-china-tariffs-deadline-extended.html https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/12/trumps-china-trade-truce-extension-spurs-market-rally https://www.npr.org/2025/08/12/nx-s1-5500039/us-china-tariffs-trade-truce Follow our experts on Twitter: @marthamillerdc@amykmitchell@WMattHaydenLike what we're doing here?

Today, Martha and Joshua discuss the upcoming August 15 meeting between Presidents Trump and Putin in Alaska, following Trump's threat to “end the war or face sanctions.” With Ukraine unable to retake Russian-held territory and U.S. attention focused on the Indo-Pacific, speculation grows over whether Kyiv will be pressured to concede land. European partners signal readiness to support a deal, but details remain unclear. Will this be a breakthrough for diplomacy or another case of Putin playing a U.S. president? How will Congress and European allies react to any agreement that is made? Could enforcing existing sanctions against Russia be more effective than imposing new ones? And what message does holding this meeting in Alaska send to both Russians and Americans?Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/10/putin-trump-russia-ukraine-summit/ https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/09/politics/white-house-zelensky-trump-putin-meeting https://thehill.com/policy/international/5445054-european-leaders-putin-russia-ukraine-trump-talks/ https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-trump-deadline-putin-423e6a28df5186a48b7383eae41c11c2 Follow our experts on Twitter: @marthamillerdc@joshuachuminskiLike what we're doing here?

Episode 486: Moonshot or Moon Mirage?

But NASA's announcement comes amid budget and workforce cuts, and with NASA's head leader lacking deep space experience.Can the U.S. pull this off on such a tight timeline, or is this a Cold War–style moonshot without the resources to match?

Today, Jess, Les, and Bishop dive into Taiwan's recent recall vote targeting more than two dozen KMT legislators accused of obstructing legislation and aligning too closely with Beijing. While the vote ultimately failed and all KMT lawmakers kept their seat, it has deepened Taiwan's political gridlock and highlighted growing polarization in Taipei. With President Lai still lacking a legislative majority, questions are mounting over the KMT's ability to block critical defense spending and what that could mean for Taiwan's security.What does the failed recall tell us about the current state of Taiwanese politics? How is the Trump Administration's tough-love strategy shaping Taiwan's domestic dynamics? And if Trump cuts a trade deal with Beijing, could Taiwan's security be caught in the crossfire?Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/26/asia/taiwan-votes-china-lawmaker-election-latam-intlhttps://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/23/asia/taiwan-recall-vote-explained-hnk-intlhttps://www.cfr.org/blog/what-failed-recall-taiwan-means-us-taiwan-and-cross-strait-relationsFollow our experts on Twitter: @lestermunson@NotTVJessJones@BishopGarrisonLike what we're doing here?

Today, Martha, Les, and Bishop unpack the latest U.S.-EU trade deal, which imposes a 15% tariff on European goods—lower than the previously threatened 30%, but still a significant shift. The agreement includes EU commitments to increase energy purchases and investment in the U.S., while eliminating tariffs on select American exports. Yet key sectors like steel remain unresolved, and core regulatory and policy differences persist.Will this deal offer short-term stability at the expense of long-term strategy? As Congress eyes the economic impact on American consumers and industries, questions remain about enforcement, sustainability, and whether tariff diplomacy can truly deliver lasting results.Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://apnews.com/article/europe-trump-security-tariffs-ukraine-russia-cb323423c4317c89410c0dee3d389753 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c14g8gk8vdlo https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/28/trump-eu-trade-tariffs-concessions/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgp5q4x4nzo Follow our experts on Twitter: @marthamillerdc@lestermunson@BishopGarrisonLike what we're doing here?

The Service Chiefs Fellows connect their operational insights with potential DARPA breakthroughs.We explore DARPA's Service Chiefs Fellowship Program (SCFP), a 12-week immersive experience that brings together participants from various backgrounds across the Department of Defense (DOD) and other U.S. agencies. Its dual core purposes are to educate future leaders from military services and other agencies, helping them "infuse some of the DARPA magic into their home base," and to inform DARPA program managers and performers, many of whom lack military or government backgrounds, about the mission and the needs of current warfighters. This blending of ideas fosters new connections and can even lead participants to return to the agency, as exemplified by Rob McHenry, DARPA's current Deputy Director and the agency's first Service Chiefs Fellow.As part of DARPA's broader strategy to engage the U.S. military and other U.S. government partners, the SCFP helps ensure vital ideas take root and flourish where they are most needed.Service Chiefs Fellowship Program webpageBiological Technologies Office (BTO)Information Innovation Office (I2O)Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC)Dr. Michael Feasel (BTO program manager)Commercial Strategy Office

King and I | S6 E2 | Welcome IC Fellows of 2025: Things You Need to Know

Today, Martha, Les, and Matt discuss the most dangerous escalation in Southeast Asia in over a decade. A deadly border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia—long simmering over disputed territory and sacred temples—has erupted into full-scale fighting. Over just five days, artillery, rockets, and airstrikes left 36 dead and hundreds injured, with civilians fleeing on both sides. President Trump issued an unprecedented economic threat: a 36% tariff on all Thai and Cambodian exports if the conflict doesn't cease by August 1. The move jolted both economies and raised questions about how American trade power might be used to prevent regional wars.What does this border conflict say about the limits of diplomacy and economic pressure? Will Trump's tariff ultimatum succeed where international mediation has failed? And how should the U.S. balance its strategic interests in Southeast Asia as great power rivalries heat up?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/world/asia/thailand-cambodia-ceasefire-talks.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/thailand-and-cambodia-consider-cease-fire-after-calls-with-trump-on-border-clashes-5c22f92e Follow our experts on Twitter: @marthamillerdc@lestermunson@WMattHaydenLike what we're doing here?

Today, Morgan, Martha, Les, and Matt break down Trump's AI Action Plan, unveiled Wednesday with significant fanfare and the backing of top tech leaders. The plan includes three executive orders and outlines 90 federal actions across three pillars: accelerating innovation, building AI infrastructure, and asserting global leadership in diplomacy and security.Why does AI matter so much now—and why does Trump want his name on it? As Secretary of State Rubio put it, “winning the AI race is non-negotiable.” With economic, military, and geopolitical stakes this high, Trump's market-driven, industry-friendly strategy marks a clear departure from the Biden administration's safety-first regulatory approach. Is this the edge the U.S. needs to stay ahead of China—or a gamble with long-term consequences?Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://www.ai.gov/action-plan Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.Follow our experts on Twitter: @morganlroach@marthamillerdc@lestermunson@WMattHaydenLike what we're doing here?

Dr. Mosses comes to Maternal Resources after serving as the Medical Director of the OB/GYN department at Ezra Medical Center in Brooklyn, where he built a thriving obstetric practice from the ground up, now averaging over 50–60 deliveries per month. Prior to that, he was a senior attending physician at NYU Langone in Midwood, Brooklyn, where he maintained a cesarean section rate of under 10%—a testament to his skill in supporting vaginal births, including twin deliveries and VBACs (vaginal birth after cesarean). His approach combines clinical rigor with a strong belief in giving patients safe options for physiologic birth.

He has performed thousands of deliveries and a wide range of gynecologic surgeries using open, laparoscopic, and vaginal approaches. Whether managing a routine pregnancy or a more complex case, his goal is always the same: to deliver excellent care that respects patient autonomy and promotes healthy outcomes.

In today's episode, we will be talking with Dr Randy Johnson.  Dr Johnson was around in the days when the GCSS was first formed, and he can tell us a lot about our history and how this organization came into being. We will be discussing all things Gonstead with him and how we try to move the organization forward. 

In today's episode, we will be talking with Dr Herb Wood. Dr Wood is the person that I most credit with teaching me to adjust. After years of struggle and frustration, he changed my understanding of what an adjustment should be and how it should be performed.  In addition to the adjustment, Dr Wood's "Boot Camps" are famous for the wealth of information regarding the consequences of subluxation and how it should be corrected.  In this conversation, we are going to touch on all of that. 

Spinal Pathologies in Obstetric Anesthesia: Neuraxial Risk Assessment and Decision-Making with Tural Alakbarli, MD, MSc, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

This week, we will be listening to some past episodes that include some of the Gonstead Fellows.  This is a great way to distill the wisdom of the past and incorporate it into your present.  Today's conversation is with Dr David Curry.  Dr Curry is known for teaching the fundamentals of the adjustment, and, in this episode, we will discuss some of those fundamentals and how to use them to become a better adjuster.

In this episode, we will be talking with Dr Chris Meyer about the neurology of sleep.  Dr Meyer is one of the newest GCSS Board Members, but he is also one of the newest Fellows.  I think you will find him to be very deep and thorough in his insight into the process of sleep and how we might help our patients to improve it. 

How do we expand the positive impacts of our buildings? Now is the time. The building sector is looking at a once-in-a-generation opportunity to flip from being a major contributor to both chronic disease and climate disruption to becoming one of the primary solutions. The key is provide training and perspective to the professionals involved. Why is it that so few architects base design decisions on the known health impacts of buildings at both the personal and community levels? Similarly, why is it that the role of buildings as determinants of health and disease in society is so frequently overlooked by epidemiologists and other public health professionals? In this interview Adele Houghton (FAIA, DrPH, LEED AP) explains how architects, developers, real estate teams and community groups can use their role power and agency to improve outcomes at many levels and scales, for the benefit of all involved. While no single building can entirely transform a neighborhood's character or its susceptibility to environmental factors, thoughtful design can enhance the health and well-being of residents and businesses, reducing financial risk and contributing to local policy goals.Adele HoughtonAdele Houghton, FAIA, DrPH, LEED AP, works at the intersection of buildings, public health, and climate change. She is a member of the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows and received a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degree from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where she also teaches. Her book, Architectural Epidemiology (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2024), co-authored with Professor Carlos Castillo-Salgado of Johns Hopkins University, proposes a novel method for architectural design: combining neighborhood-scale environmental health data with participatory community engagement to maximize a building's positive ripple effect on community and planetary health.TeamHosted by Kristof IrwinEdited by Nico MignardiProduced by M.
