    Michael Savage discusses the departure from fiscal conservatism within the Republican Party, criticizing the addition of a $4 trillion budget increase under President Donald Trump's administration. He sounds the alarm over the rising national debt and the erosion of conservative values. He praises Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul for their opposition to increased spending. He shifts to other top issues such as the influence of the Deep State on the Russia-Ukraine war, the controversy over US Steel's acquisition by Japan, and the pitfalls of the MAGA movement. He urges listeners to be independent thinkers rather than blind followers.

    The transformation of Japan from hermit kingdom to imperial power happened with breathtaking speed. When American Commodore Perry's "black ships" steamed into Tokyo Bay in the 1850s, they shattered Japan's 250-year isolation with technology that seemed to come "from 200 years in the future." This technological gap created a constitutional crisis that would ultimately topple the Tokugawa Shogunate and usher in the Meiji Restoration of 1868.Jonathan Clements guides us through this pivotal period where Japan found itself facing what one historian calls "an invitation to an alien game" - forced to adopt international norms and institutions they never agreed to. Rather than becoming colonized like China or India, Japan's new leaders determined to become players in this global power game. They systematically studied Western nations, adopting what they perceived as the best elements of each: a German-style army, British naval technology, and aspects of French law.This selective modernization happened against a backdrop of growing militarism and expansionism, particularly toward Korea - strategically described as "the dagger at the heart of Japan." The 1894-95 Sino-Japanese War demonstrated Japan's new capabilities, but the subsequent "Triple Intervention" by Russia, France and Germany (forcing Japan to abandon territorial gains) created a humiliation that would fuel future aggression.Throughout this period, the Japanese government struggled with "gekokujō" - military insubordination where officers initiated "incidents" that expanded Japanese influence without authorization. The assassination of Korea's Queen Min by Japanese agents exemplifies this dangerous pattern where unauthorized actions expanded imperial control while undermining civilian government - creating precedents that would ultimately lead Japan toward its catastrophic Pacific War.Whether you're interested in East Asian history, imperial expansion, or the roots of 20th century conflict, this exploration of Japan's rapid transformation reveals how quickly a nation can reinvent itself - for better or worse.You can send a message to the show/feedback by clicking here.

    WLEI - Lean Enterprise Institute's Podcast

    Josh Howell, LEI President, Mark Reich, LEI Chief Engineer Strategy, and Art Smalley discuss the four basic types of problem-solving. Art is a well-known expert in leadership, management, and the Toyota Way. He worked at Toyota Motor Corp. in Japan; helped to transform Donnelly Corp. in Michigan; was a consultant with McKinsey & Co.; and has authored several award-winning books, including Four Types of Problems.   The trio set out to discuss how the framework of the four types of problems maps onto the lean management system explained in Mark's recent book about hoshin kanri, Managing on Purpose, as well as daily management in Toyota, leadership, culture, and other related topics. The systematic intersection of these topics is a complex subject beyond just the simpler notion of “tools.” Art and Mark share respective viewpoints from their time at Toyota in Japan and what made the system so unique while trying to connect the dots of four types of problems, hoshin kanri, and other areas.  Josh kicks off the podcast by asking Art and Mark to examine in detail troubleshooting — the most frequent and possibly most misunderstood type of problem-solving. A good troubleshooting environment involves quickly attacking known problems with known solutions to get operations back to normal (i.e., how to mitigate issues that prevent achievement of near-term goals). They also review troubleshooting's relationship with the other types of problem-solving and the “flavors” of the types — gap from standard (how to prevent a problem from recurring by eliminating its underlying root causes), target condition (kaizen to elevate the standard), and open-ended (innovations and breakthrough thinking) — as well as the complex interaction of the four types with daily management and hoshin kanri.  Learn more about a lean management system and the connection between problem-solving, daily management, and hoshin kanri: lean.org/LMP

    Moderatorin Laura de Weck, Lukas Bärfuss, Gerhard Pfister und – als Gast – die Autorin und Podcasterin Samira El Ouassil diskutieren über spannende Neuerscheinungen. Der japanische Autor Uketsu ist der erfolgreichste Vertreter des «Sketch-Mystery»-Romans. Es sind fesselnde Spannungsromane, die Zeichnungen und Diagramme enthalten. Damit hat Uketsu, der stets mit weisser Maske auftritt, das Krimi-Genre in Japan verändert. Der Band «Seltsame Bilder» erscheint nun auf Deutsch. In «Russische Spezialitäten» erkundet Dmitrij Kapitelman mit sarkastischem Humor eine Welt, die Russlands Propaganda nicht standzuhalten vermag. Die Familie des Autors betreibt im Osten Deutschlands, in Leipzig, einen Laden mit russischen Spezialitäten. Trotz seiner Liebe und Hochachtung der Mutter gegenüber belastet der Krieg ihr Verhältnis schwer. Nora Osagiobares origineller Debütroman «Daily Soap» ist als Seifenoper konzipiert und nimmt das Genre gleichzeitig auf die Schippe. Es geht um Reiche und Arme, Schwarze und Weisse. Und vor allem geht es um Rassismus in der Schweiz. Nora Osagiobare, in der Schweiz aufgewachsen, weiss genau, wovon sie schreibt: Ihr Vater stammt aus Nigeria. Christoph Hein ist einer der bedeutendsten Schriftsteller Deutschlands. Er gilt als Chronist der DDR. Seine Romane «Drachenblut» oder «Landnahme», erzählen davon, wie während der DDR die Diktatur in private Beziehungen eingreift. Nun hat er mit «Das Narrenschiff» einen Bestseller-Roman geschrieben, der die DDR von den Anfängen bis zu ihrem Ende episch erzählt.

    In 2008, Vicky Tsai walked away from a startup job and set out to rediscover herself on a trip to Japan. In Kyoto, she had an unforgettable meeting with a geisha, and learned about the face creams and blotting papers that the traditional Japanese hostesses had used for centuries. But as she contemplated selling those products in the U.S., experts on both sides of the Pacific told her it would never work. Strapped for money and juggling multiple jobs, Vicky worked out of her parents' garage, pitching her new brand—Tatcha—on QVC and steadily growing it. In 2019, Unilever acquired Tatcha for a reported $500 million.This episode was produced by Jed Anderson with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

    Na Donald Trump z'n Liberation Day was het een en al miserie voor de Amerikaanse beurzen. Maar het meeste pijn werd geleden bij de Magnificent Seven. Wij durfden ze zelfs te degraderen naar Matige Zes (alleen Meta wist de beurskoers op gang te houden). Maar zo blijkt maar weer dat je nooit de hoop moet opgeven. Sinds de dip in april zijn Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Tesla, Nvidia én Meta de kartrekkers van Wall Street. Ze zijn zelfs goed voor bijna de helft van de stijging van de S&P 500. Waar hebben de zeven beurslievelingetjes die heropleving aan te danken? Dat vertellen we je in deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over een andere groep aandelen die maar de eigen records blijft verbreken. Het ene na het andere land steekt miljarden in de defensie-industrie. Nu is het het Verenigd Koninkrijk dat zes nieuwe munitiefabrieken gaat bouwen, twaalf onderzeeërs gaat kopen en ook nog eens het aantal kernwapens wil uitbreiden. Je hoort natuurlijk ook over het nieuwste gedachtespinsel van Donald Trump. De onderhandelingen tussen de VS en China verliepen maar stroef, dus blaast hij de boel eens opnieuw op. China houdt zich volgens Trump niet aan de afspraken van de tijdelijke deal die in Zwitserland werd gesloten. En China vindt op zijn beurt weer dat de VS dat akkoord schendt. Zit er een strategie achter deze zet van Trump? Wij weten het niet, maar onze gast misschien wel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Drawing from Alan's recent writing, they trace how debt levels, policy incentives, and investor complacency have converged into a feedback loop that central banks may no longer control.

    This week we speak with Dr. Mike Wall, ace space reporter from Space.com, about Starship's recent test flight. What went right, what went wrong, and what are the prospects for Elon's mammoth rocket meeting NASA's goals for a moon landing in 2027? Also, Musk's recent video outlining future plans for Starship and a Martian metropolis, Chinese company Sepoch's recent (and very Starship-like) vertical launch and landing test, Japan's robotic lander, Resilience, about to attempt a lunar touchdown, and roadside assistance for the Psyche asteroid mission. See this and more on This Week in Space! Headlines New Dwarf Planet Discovery: Scientists at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton have identified a new dwarf planet with an orbit over 16 times the size of Earth's. Its closest approach to the Sun is 44.5 times Earth's orbit, similar to Pluto's orbit, placing it far out in the Oort cloud. While exciting, this object, named 2017 OF, is not Planet Nine because its mass doesn't align with the perturbations observed in other objects. NASA's Psyche Mission Update: NASA's Psyche spacecraft experienced a fuel pressure glitch requiring a switch to a backup propellant line for its Hall effect thruster. Engineers successfully restored pressure, and the mission is still on track to arrive at the metallic asteroid Psyche in 2029. This mission is crucial as Psyche is believed to be the stripped-away core of an ancient proto-planet, offering insights into planet formation. China's Reusable Rocket Advancements: Chinese rocket manufacturer Space Epoch successfully performed a vertical ascent and controlled vertical descent test of a booster stage, similar to SpaceX's Falcon 9 landings. The stainless steel rocket successfully soft-landed in the waters off Hainan Island, demonstrating advanced gimballing for stable landing. Main Topic - Starship Flight 9 Test Recap: SpaceX's Starship Test Flight 9 was deemed a partial success. The Super Heavy booster was reflown for the first time, demonstrating reusability and performing well despite an experimental hard ocean splashdown that resulted in an explosion six minutes into flight. The Ship upper stage reached space and the desired trajectory, an improvement over previous flights, but failed to deploy dummy Starlink satellites or perform an in-space relight due to an attitude control anomaly, possibly a fuel leak. SpaceX's Ambitious Starship Plans: Elon Musk outlined plans for Starship Version 3, envisioned as the first fully mature version capable of Mars missions, rapid reuse, and in-orbit refueling. The long-term goal includes sending thousands of Starships and hundreds of people to Mars to establish a self-sustaining city. Lunar Starship for Artemis Missions: There's ongoing discussion about the number of tanker flights required for a lunar mission, with estimates ranging from 8 to 12, even 16 flights. The timeline for Artemis III in 2027 is a concern, given the need for numerous refueling missions and the development of life support systems for crewed flights, which are currently absent in the Starship test vehicles. Competition in Lunar Landers: While SpaceX is developing Lunar Starship, Blue Origin is also a strong contender with its Blue Moon lander, which is China These show notes have been truncated due to length.

    On tonight's episode of Long Road to Ruin, Mark Radulich, Pat Mullin and Sean Comer crane kick their way through The Karate Kid Trilogy. We chart the evolution of Daniel LaRusso's journey from underdog in the original 1984 classic to his increasingly strained arcs in Parts II and III. The first film captured lightning in a bottle with a perfect mix of heart, mentorship, and underdog triumph. Part II expanded the scope with an Okinawa-set story that deepened Mr. Miyagi's character but lost some of the first film's spark. By Part III, the charm was wearing thin, the stakes felt forced, and Daniel-san's journey hit a wall of diminishing returns. Join us as we wax on and off about what made this trilogy iconic—and where it started to fall apart.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

    "The limitations of photography are in yourself, for what we see is only what we are." -- Ernst Haas   "A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed." -- Richard Avedon   In this episode, Ward opens with a deep dive into his Lightroom library, explaining how “hunting” for decisive moments differs from “fishing” for happy accidents—and proving the point with a newly-found two-way-mirror shot in Japan that almost became digital landfill. The chat drifts into portrait philosophy via Richard Avedon, landing on the idea that real power often comes from stripping a set-up down to tripod, subject, and nerve.   Next up is Fuji's just-announced X-Half.  Antonio admits he's already on the preorder list, while Ward likes the film-advance lever but winces at the price.  The boys agree its JPEG-only, half-frame design is less a beginner's toy than a deliberate hand-cuff for photographers who enjoy working inside tight creative fences—much like the old Fuji GA645 or Antonio's beloved X-Pro3 .   Antonio contemplates using his medium format Fuji for big-sensor portraits once he touches down in Nebraska, while Ward packs a Rolleicord TLR for some square-format rodeo portraits. On the lo-fi end, Antonio bolts a recycled disposable-camera lens onto his tiny X-M5, declaring that “expectations set to fun” is a perfectly valid image-quality setting for his upcoming road trip.   The episode rounds out with a vintage-photo detour: Antonio uncovers a century-old log-cabin print, and Ward feeds it to ChatGPT, which promptly pinpoints its location and time period. Maybe. That sparks a brainstorm on turning unlabeled family prints into a themed zine instead of consigning them to attic oblivion or the trash.     Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

    Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Korea's brief but significant period as an empire as it moved from the 500-year-old dynastic Joseon monarchy towards modernity. It was in October 1897 that King Gojong declared himself Emperor, seizing his chance when the once-dominant China lost to Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War. The king wanted to have the same status as the neighbouring Russian, Chinese and Japanese Emperors, to shore up a bid for Korean independence and sovereignty when the world's major powers either wanted to open Korea up to trade or to colonise it.
