Donald Trump: Chaot oder strategisches Genie?Venezuela, Grönland, ICE: Donald Trump dominiert die Weltbühne mit Provokationen, Machtdemonstrationen und verbalen Ausfällen. Das Vorgehen des US-Präsidenten wirkt auf viele Beobachter erratisch und planlos.Julius van de Laar ist Strategieberater und hat Barack Obamas Wahlkämpfe mitgestaltet. Trumps Vorgehen hält er für kalkuliert – dieser habe mit „Flooding the Zone“ einen neuen Politikstil geschaffen: häufiger, krasser, klarer.Was im Wahlkampf noch ging, scheint den Beliebtheitswerten zufolge nun nicht mehr zu wirken.

Guest: Dr. Alexander Gates, Rutgers University - NewarkWeather doesn't just shape our daily plans — sometimes, it shapes the course of history. From floods that altered empires to storms that changed the outcome of wars, extreme weather has quietly (and sometimes violently) rewritten the human story. Today, we're joined by Dr. Alexander Gates, professor at Rutgers University–Newark and author of the upcoming book Wicked Weather. In it, he explores the natural disasters that didn't just make headlines, but changed societies, politics, and the world as we know it. In this episode, we'll talk about the historical storms, droughts, and disasters that left lasting marks on civilization, what those events teach us about risk and resilience, and why understanding the past may be one of our best tools for preparing for the future.Chapters00:00 - Introduction: Weather's historical influence on civilizations00:32 - Dr. Gates' background & inspiration for Wicked Weather01:06 - How natural disasters shape human societies03:29 - The significance of weather-related events like hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes06:37 - Most impactful natural disasters in history07:30 - Volcanoes from 536-540 AD changing the global climate09:24 - The hurricane that helped end the American Revolution11:06 - Human decisions impacting disaster resilience11:40 - Break 111:42 - Building resilience: lessons from historical events13:19 - Climate change's role in intensifying weather extremes16:16 - Lessons from historical weather disasters on modern emergency preparedness17:37 - How different types of disasters prompt societal change20:44 - Responses to weather-related disasters in different countries23:31 - Break 223:33 - The importance of societal response and adaptation28:04 - The science behind storms and the importance of understanding natural causes29:28 - Final reflections: societal resilience and future preparednessSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Flooding, landslides, wild winds, these extreme weather events can leave many of you feeling overwhelmed about the state of our climate and what we could be facing in the future. But help could be at hand. The Climatics is a new people-powered climate fund that says it'll offer a practical way to take action by pooling money from everyday Kiwis and directing those funds to the climate groups doing systems-change work in Aotearoa. The Climatics co-founders Pip Wheaton and MJ Bethell chat to Jesse.

Emotional flooding is inevitable; it's part of relationship. It's not about shame, but connection—providing a platform upon which real repair can flourish. – Lisa Dion In this episode, Lisa explores emotional flooding from the therapist's perspective and why finding ourselves outside our window of tolerance is not a failure—but a natural part of relational work. Through a nervous-system-informed lens, Lisa reframes emotional flooding as meaningful information rather than something to avoid or fix. When approached with curiosity, attunement, and repair, these moments of rawness can deepen authenticity, strengthen the therapeutic relationship, and create powerful opportunities for healing. This conversation invites therapists to release shame, embrace humanity, and see emotional flooding as an ally in the work—both in the playroom and within themselves.

The Department of Justice is trying to sell finality where there is still fog. After a chaotic rollout of Epstein-related materials, officials have framed the release as complete and urged the public to move on. But volume without structure is not transparency. Dumping massive amounts of material without clear indexing, consistent redaction explanations, and a verifiable accounting of what was withheld creates confusion rather than clarity. The public was promised a legally mandated framework under the Epstein Files Transparency Act that would identify categories of records, explain redactions, and specify which government officials and politically exposed persons were named. Instead, critics argue the process feels curated and defensive, more focused on narrative control than genuine accountability. Declaring “no more files” does not resolve outstanding questions about scope, missing categories, or investigative decisions—it freezes the narrative at a politically convenient moment.At its core, the frustration stems from a longstanding distrust of how powerful institutions handle cases involving powerful people. A serious transparency effort would provide traceability, context, independent review mechanisms, and precise legal justifications for every withholding decision. Without those guardrails, the release risks functioning as a containment strategy rather than a corrective one. Calls to “move on” land as dismissive because the underlying questions—who enabled Epstein, who benefited, and whether institutional actors were protected—remain unresolved in the public's mind. If the administration wants credibility, it must move beyond slogans and provide structured, auditable disclosures that withstand scrutiny. Otherwise, skepticism will continue, not because people crave drama, but because incomplete transparency invites suspicion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined by Lisa Wasko DeVetter, Ph.D., a professor of small fruit horticulture in the Department of Horticulture within the College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences. Her work focuses on applied research and extension related to small fruit production systems, with an emphasis on improving fruit quality, production efficiency and sustainability for crops such as blueberries. DeVetter reflects on the recent flooding of the Northwest, its impact on blueberry producers and the evidence-based recommendations she can make to producers if another flooding event is experienced. “Fortunately, there was enough time that elapsed between the 2021 flooding and this flood event so some of those fields that were impacted, they were either replanted because the damage was so severe or the planting was young and the grower took advantage of the opportunity just to start over with variety replacement or the field was managed and rejuvenated in such a way that it recovered. So, by the time it had this second flooding event, you know, we're not expecting kind of a double-whammy effect, if you will, from subsequent floodings from relatively close periods of time together.” – Lisa Wasko DeVetter, Ph.D. Topics covered include: An introduction to Devetter and her work. An exploration of the factors that influenced recommendations for producers that were impacted by these two major flooding events.Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas. Today you'll hear from Brittany Lee in Florida, Ross Phillips in Georgia, Luis Vegas in Peru, Andres Armstrong in Chile, Mario Ramirez in Mexico, T.J. Hafner in Oregon, Alan Schreiber in Washington and Sunny Brar in British Columbia. This was recorded on February 12, 2026.

Dick and Doug argue that the Trump administration is successfully "flooding the zone" with positive data to bypass a skeptical media, specifically noting how regulatory rollbacks—such as repealing climate health findings and promoting independent AI power sources—are fueling this expansion. Beyond economics, the discussion emphasizes a return to historical norms, claiming that aggressive deportation policies have directly caused the homicide rate to drop to its lowest level in over a century.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Guest: Dr. Younes Alila, University of British ColumbiaFloods are some of the most devastating natural disasters on Earth—washing away homes, reshaping landscapes, and testing the limits of our infrastructure. But what if the way we measure and plan for floods is decades out of date? A new study out of the University of British Columbia led by Dr. Younes Alila reveals that the so-called “100-year flood” may now be striking every 10 years or less across parts of British Columbia. Dr. Alila joins us to unpack how land-use changes, deforestation, and a warming climate are amplifying flood frequency, why natural features like wetlands and forests are key to protection, and what communities can do to adapt.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"If you give rivers more space to flood the lands, to bring sediment - sand, clay - they not only bring sediment, they also bring life!"In this episode of Rewilding the World, Ben Goldsmith interviews one of the most impactful architects of rewilding in Europe, Dutchman Wouter Helmer. Despite being the most densely populated, intensively farmed and heavily developed country in Europe, The Netherlands is a rewilding powerhouse. Wouter's key insight is simply that rewilding offers the most effective way to protect communities from flooding which has blighted the Netherlands for centuries. As a result, the country is now threaded with fat, vibrant corridors of nature, teeming with wildlife.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to people from all over the world who champion nature and are helping to restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.Text Rewilding the World here.

For this week's episode, Miyuki Hino, an associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, joins host Margaret Walls to discuss Hino's latest research on high-tide flooding (also called “sunny day flooding” or “nuisance flooding”) in North Carolina. Hino recounts the complications of measuring increasingly frequent and disruptive floods and some innovative solutions to technical challenges—including creating water-level sensors and engaging communities to understand local geographies. By specializing data collection to suit a research area in murky waters, Hino and her research collaborators have noted more accurately the extent to which sea level rise has affected coastal communities. With improved data on hand, Hino reports that previous estimates of flood frequency are serious, but unsurprising, understatements of current realities and that updated findings can help communities better adapt to changing tides.

The Country Land and Business Association, CLA, says winter flooding is putting pressure on farm finances, coming after summer drought and during a period of poor arable and milk prices. The CLA's Deputy President, Joe Evans, describes driving past 'hundreds of acres' of 'prime arable land' under water on the outskirts of Worcester. He tells Anna Hill of instances where arable farmers in Somerset have stopped growing crops because of repeated flooding. He believes that farmers could be more resilient, and help protect nearby communities, if they were given the right policy and regulatory support.The Government has said it plans to end the use of sow farrowing crates under proposals in the new Animal Welfare Bill. These narrow pens are used in indoor pig units, and they confine sows during birth and suckling, for around a month. Their purpose is to prevent sows killing piglets by accidentally lying on them. We visit a farm in East Yorkshire which has been trialling alternative systems for 15 years. This week we're exploring how artificial intelligence, AI, could help farmers improve efficiency, and reduce the environment footprint of producing food. Today, a project combining AI with a camera which 'sees' things in a different way to the human eye, to understand how plants are behaving. It could eventually help farmers use nitrogen fertiliser much more precisely.Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Sarah Swadling

Best States for Survival Best States for Survival (And Why It's Complicated) | Episode 584 Every few months, someone puts out a list claiming they've found the “best states for survival.” Perfect land. Perfect climate. Perfect collapse conditions. This episode starts with one of those videos and then does what those lists never do — slow down and actually think through the tradeoffs. Because there is no perfect state. There are only compromises you can live with. The Problem With “Top 9” Survival State Lists I watched a video recently that ranked nine states that would supposedly do best in a collapse scenario. The creator put in serious work — hundreds of hours of research — and a lot of it made sense. Tennessee was on the list, and I was pretty happy with where it landed. But every time I watch lists like this, I catch myself doing what most people do: looking to see if my state made the cut. That alone tells you something important. These lists hit emotionally, not practically. Even the states that rank high still have real drawbacks. And the ones that rank low often have strengths that don't show up on paper. Population Density Is a Double-Edged Sword Population density matters — a lot — but not in the simple way people think. Low population density sounds great until you realize it also means fewer services, fewer jobs, and fewer amenities. If you move somewhere extremely remote, you're trading convenience and infrastructure for isolation. On the flip side, dense cities are terrible for survival. Too many people, too much dependence, and too much competition for resources. Cities are where things unravel first when systems fail. The sweet spot is balance. Enough people to support infrastructure and community, but not so many that you're surrounded by desperation. Isolation Is Romantic — Until It Isn't A lot of people fantasize about total isolation. Alaska wilderness. Middle of nowhere. No neighbors. That sounds cool until you're honest with yourself. Most humans are not built to be true isolationists. If you were, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast — you'd already be off-grid somewhere, alone, doing your thing. Almost nobody actually wants zero people. Add a family into the equation and it matters even more. You don't get to unilaterally decide to drag everyone into extreme isolation because you're bored or having a midlife crisis. Survival planning has to account for the people you're responsible for, not just your personal fantasy. Climate: Middle Ground Wins Climate is another area where extremes hurt you. Super cold areas bring long winters, heavy snow, and logistics problems. Super hot areas make you dependent on water and cooling. Living without air conditioning in extreme heat is brutal, especially in modern homes that weren't designed for passive cooling. A temperate, middle-of-the-road climate tends to be easier to manage. Mild winters. Warm but not oppressive summers. Less strain on heating and cooling systems. This is one of the reasons Tennessee sits in a comfortable middle. We get winter, but not months of it. We get summer, but not desert-level heat. That balance matters. Tradition and Community Matter More Than Rankings One of the most overlooked factors is local culture and tradition. Areas with a history of self-reliance — gardening, canning, fixing things, helping neighbors — have a massive advantage when systems fail. But here's the catch: if you move into those areas as an outsider, you may never fully belong. Some communities take generations to accept newcomers. That doesn't make them bad — it just means you need to be realistic. If you already live in a place like that, you're ahead. If you're planning to move, understand that community can't be bought or rushed. Natural Disasters and Real Risk Assessment You also need to honestly assess natural disaster risks. Tornadoes. Hurricanes. Flooding. Wildfires. Earthquakes. Some states deal with several of these at once. Others have fewer, but none have zero — despite what some lists claim. Tennessee scores well overall, but it does sit near a major fault line and experiences minor earthquakes regularly. That's something people forget. Every location has risks. The key is understanding which risks you're accepting and preparing for them specifically. Other Factors People Ignore A few more things matter more than most lists admit: Firearm laws: Guns are tools. A state hostile to ownership is limiting one of your survival options. Nuclear risk: Proximity to major targets and prevailing winds matter. So does distance from nuclear reactors. Income reality: None of this works if you can't make a living where you move. You can't survive on ideology alone. You still need money, skills, and systems. Closing The best state for survival isn't the one that wins a YouTube ranking. It's the one where your climate, population density, income, community, and risk profile line up with your actual life. Tennessee works for me — not because it's perfect, but because it's balanced. Assess where you live. Be honest about your limits. And stop chasing fantasy maps. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

Guest: Dr. Marcus Williams, Research MeteorologistWildfire is one of the most complex weather-driven hazards we face — shaped by wind, terrain, fuel, and timing, where the forecast isn't just about what happens next, but about keeping people safe in real time. Behind every major fire response and every carefully planned prescribed burn is a team of scientists working to understand those conditions down to the finest detail. Today, we're joined by Dr. Marcus Williams, a research meteorologist with the U.S. Forest Service whose work sits at the intersection of science, operations, and on-the-ground decision-making. We'll talk about what it takes to provide weather support during major California fires, why prescribed fire depends so heavily on getting the forecast right, and how USFS research is shaping the future of fire weather forecasting.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Wildfire and Meteorology00:51 Marcus Williams: Journey to Meteorology04:58 Role of Meteorologists in the US Forest Service07:46 Experiences in Wildfire Deployment10:52 Understanding Prescribed Fires12:33 Break 112:40 Meteorological Tools in Prescribed Fires15:32 Challenges in Fire Management18:14 Weather Modeling and Its Applications21:09 Break 221:40 Leadership and Mentorship in Meteorology25:46 Future of Meteorology in Fire ManagementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
