Questions are mounting over whether foreign money was illegally funneled into Democratic campaigns through ActBlue, as multiple top officials at the fundraising platform invoke their Fifth Amendment rights during a congressional investigation. The probe is examining how ActBlue vets donations and whether the platform misled lawmakers about its safeguards against foreign contributions. Texas Republican Congressman Pat Fallon joins the Rundown to discuss the investigation. Technology is becoming an inescapable part of daily life, and Health and Human Services has issued a formal advisory to warn parents about the dangers of excessive screen time. Director of National Health Communications and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos speaks with FOX's Aishah Hasnie about what HHS' findings, practical toolkits for parents, and how families can encourage kids to put down the devices and live in the real world.

A film that is very much about the horror of divorce, but puts it in a supernatural way.  Also this ended up being another Foreign film we covered on the show this time polish.  There will be another movie next episode next month for our tribute to Sam Neil.  Come hear how we felt about this horror movie i bet you didn't even know existed.  Starring Mike Albertin, Tiffany Albertin, Kenneth Sanity, and Bill Tucker.  A Gamer Looks at 40 - https://agamerlooksat40.com/ Carrying My Cross - https://podcasts.apple.com/pl/podcast/carrying-my-cross-a-faith-journey-podcast/id1865524685 Phoebe's Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/theletsplayprincess Phoebe's Podcast - https://nerdsabroadcast.podbean.com/ Zac's Podcast's - https://linktr.ee/absolutelythebest https://retrogameclub.net/ Helena - https://linktr.ee/helhathfury Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/GamesMyMomFound Follow us on Facebook.

Poll after poll shows that the world increasingly prefers China over the United States. So why are people in so many countries, especially the youth, "Chinamaxxing"? Ben Norton explains how China has developed a new political, economic, and technological model; promoted a non-interventionist foreign policy, which supports the sovereignty of the Global South; and built a socialist market economy, which offers an alternative to the neoliberal capitalism imposed by the West.

Separating fact from fiction is supposedly more difficult than ever. Especially now that artificial intelligence can manufacture photographs, imitate voices, and produce video of politicians saying things they never said. Although, to be fair, Joe Biden spent four years producing videos of himself saying things no one understood. No artificial intelligence required. Occasionally, no recognizable intelligence required. And the technology will only get better. That means our ability to distinguish truth from fiction had better get better, too. So, trust your training. Trust your instincts. Trust your gut. And sadly, I have considerably more gut to trust these days. I have excuses, of course. Every man with a growing waistline has excuses. We don't gain weight—we accumulate mitigating circumstances. My wife endured a medical issue that lasted more than a year, which disrupted our lives and kept me from getting to the gym. Then came the medical bills, the stresses of life, and a few other unexpected hitches. Life happened. But I endured, just as you endure. Because we are warriors. Patriots. People willing to tolerate inconvenience, sacrifice comfort, and occasionally loosen a belt buckle for the cause. Over the past decade, conservatives trained for the Olympics of politics. We studied the issues. We researched the candidates. We watched the hearings. We tracked the money. We learned about ballot harvesting, censorship, lawfare, intelligence agencies, nonprofit networks, and government corruption. Meanwhile, the Left didn't train for the Olympics. They fixed the judges, changed the scoring system, disqualified the competition, and then gave themselves participation trophies for courage. They sat around eating bonbons and drinking Kool-Aid while we sweated and toiled. But all that training paid off. The media can no longer fool us—not the way they once did. Smooth-talking politicians can't dazzle us with polished speeches and focus-grouped phrases. Government bureaucrats can't simply announce, “We investigated ourselves and found ourselves magnificent.” We know the truth the Leftist-controlled government never wanted ordinary Americans to discover: They lie. They lie about crime. They lie about the economy. They lie about race. They lie about elections. They lie about men becoming women. They lie about the border while millions of illegal aliens walk across it. And then, when the consequences arrive, they tell us not to believe our lying eyes. For years, our vote-counting system became an illusion, and with it, our belief that the people running the country were protecting our investment in America. They weren't protecting it. They allowed practically anybody to take advantage of us. Foreign governments, illegal immigrants, corrupt contractors, political nonprofits, race hustlers, gender hustlers, climate hustlers—and every other hustler with a grant application and a Democratic voter-registration form.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, do you use TikTok, Instagram, X, or any social media? What about a computer? Laptop? iPhone? Smart TV? Netflix? Have you seen a doctor or been to a hospital? Have you driven a car? Taken an airplane? Use email? Congratulations! You use AI! And in order to use AI, you need data centers. Amazing how quickly people fall for lies about data centers. It's the pandemic and fracking all over again. Luddites who don't believe in industrial progress tell people they'll lose their jobs, but data centers will create jobs you've never even heard of. If we want to keep pace with adversaries like China, we'd better ignore the Luddites and pandering politicians and go all in on industrial progress. Also, how would the most advanced society and economy survive without data centers? Foreign countries like China, India and Israel are embracing AI. If they support data centers and America doesn't, where do you think tech workers will go? How do you turn off the human brain? Some say if the GOP loses the midterm elections it will be because of data centers. Wasn't Iran supposed to be the main issue in the midterms? A lot of these Luddites and isolationists are the same. Then, if we hit the brakes hard on AI and data centers, we won't have the most advanced computers, medical care, and other things. Those who oppose data centers haven't lived in a society that put the brakes on the future. They're happy living in the present, but you can't sustain the present without AI. The world won't want our products and services. Or maybe you prefer Cuba with their 1950s Chevys and no medical advances? All great empires of the past, including Britain, are gone. Will America be next? Finally, AI data centers know no economic or social classes. Everyone benefits from them. Yet, the class warfare ideologues want you to believe there are. In East Loudoun County VA, one of the wealthiest and most highly educated populations in the country if not the world, sit the vast majority of our country's data centers -- upwards of 80%. The end-users are of every walk of life. Those who construct the data centers are union, non-union, blue collar, as well as computer geeks and a wide variety of trades and skilled workers. Those who operate them tend to be highly educated in the STEMs. And we cannot imagine how many new technologies, inventions, products, services, cures, enterprises, etc., will grow from this new Industrial Revolution.

America's ranchers are facing a crisis that goes far beyond the price of beef in the news headlines. They are facing a multifront cultural assault on their way of life, economic viability, and ownership of land. I sit down with sixth-generation Nebraska rancher and rural broadcaster Trent Loos to expose a much bigger war on rural America — one that connects the dots involving foreign beef imports, shrinking grazing land, meatpacking consolidation, government subsidies, wind and solar development, and the explosive expansion of AI data-center rezoning in the heart of what should be beef country. Trent argues that America is rapidly losing the infrastructure needed to produce its own food while government policies increasingly make ranching and land ownership unaffordable. He also argues that the Trump administration is putting up smoke screens to placate ranchers while harming them with the policies he is actually pursuing. Also, Trent agrees with my point that data centers are not about technology. They are part of a larger battle over land use, electricity, transmission lines, easements, eminent domain, and the future of independent land ownership in rural America.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Rothbard sets the stage with a portrait of a young agrarian republic transformed by the War of 1812. Foreign trade collapsed and domestic manufacturing surged; loosely regulated state banks multiplied, issuing notes with little specie behind them; credit poured into western land purchases at inflated prices. When the Second Bank of the United States reversed course and forced contraction, the whole structure came down. This chapter supplies the economic environment for everything that follows, and answers a question of lasting theoretical interest: was 1819 a genuine business-cycle depression of the modern type?

En The Future in Their Hands: Making Mexico's Foreign-Educated Elite (Publicado por la Universidad de California, 2026), la historiadora Rachel Grace Newman reconstruye más de un siglo de políticas de educación en el extranjero para explorar la formación de una élite mexicana cosmopolita.

Newman examina así las tensiones entre privilegio, cosmopolitismo y proyecto nacional que atravesaron más de cien años de movilidad estudiantil mexicana.

Shiny Hunters Claims 284M McKesson Records Stolen, PaperCut Patch Bypassed Again, and White House Bans Foreign Power Grid Tech   Host David Shipley covers multiple cybersecurity headlines: Shiny Hunters claims it breached healthcare giant McKesson via voice phishing, compromised Okta SSO, and accessed Salesforce and Snowflake, allegedly exfiltrating about 1TB and 284 million patient records (records, not unique patients) and demanding a $55M+ ransom, though the claims aren't independently verified. PaperCut issued a second emergency patch after bypasses were found for fixes to two actively exploited vulnerabilities that can be chained for unauthenticated remote code execution; organizations on v23 or earlier must upgrade. Berlin confirms an extortion attempt tied to Rhysida, which claims 5.79TB stolen. WordPress discloses five critical plugin/theme flaws enabling full site takeover, including a 10/10 GiveWP RCE.

The conversation turns to local media double standards, calling out left-wing outrage over national geographic rebranding while exposing political dark money paying influencers six-figures to push fake endorsements. Marc finishes the hour confronting text-line trolls who defend terrorist organizations over American and regional security interests.

As social media influencers increasingly displace traditional media as primary sources for political commentary, concerns are growing over covert foreign propaganda and dark money fueling online discourse. In response, bipartisan momentum is building behind new legislation aimed at closing foreign disclosure loopholes and requiring online personalities to disclose financial ties to foreign governments.Jessica Rosenthal spoke with Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) about her bipartisan Foreign Propaganda Disclosure Act. They discussed how foreign entities and bot networks leverage paid influencers to manipulate digital algorithms and steer American political debates, as well as the enforcement mechanisms needed to hold violators accountable through the Department of Justice.Rep. Luna shares her perspective on updating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) for the digital age, addressing First Amendment concerns, and why she believes transparency is critical to protecting national security and American voters.We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear this one in full. Today on the Fox News Rundown Extra, we share our complete conversation with Representative Anna Paulina Luna as she dives deeper into foreign influence in the creator economy, legislative battles in Capitol Hill, and the state of American politics.

OCA President Lindsay Hall talks about how this move to more foreign beef would impact Ohio cattle producers in the short and long terms.

As social media influencers increasingly displace traditional media as primary sources for political commentary, concerns are growing over covert foreign propaganda and dark money fueling online discourse. In response, bipartisan momentum is building behind new legislation aimed at closing foreign disclosure loopholes and requiring online personalities to disclose financial ties to foreign governments.Jessica Rosenthal spoke with Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) about her bipartisan Foreign Propaganda Disclosure Act. They discussed how foreign entities and bot networks leverage paid influencers to manipulate digital algorithms and steer American political debates, as well as the enforcement mechanisms needed to hold violators accountable through the Department of Justice.Rep. Luna shares her perspective on updating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) for the digital age, addressing First Amendment concerns, and why she believes transparency is critical to protecting national security and American voters.We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear this one in full. Today on the Fox News Rundown Extra, we share our complete conversation with Representative Anna Paulina Luna as she dives deeper into foreign influence in the creator economy, legislative battles in Capitol Hill, and the state of American politics.

China saw 35,000 newly established foreign-invested enterprises in the first half of 2026, up seven percent year on year. The number of new foreign-invested enterprises rose in major exporting provinces.

American ranchers are facing a multifront assault from foreign meatpacking monopolies, elite land grabs, government-sponsored subsidies and monopolies, and politicians who put special interests first. I sit down with Joe Maxwell, farmer and president of Farm Action Fund, to expose the catastrophic reality behind recent political moves impacting the agricultural heartland. From Donald Trump's disastrous push to import foreign beef without tariffs, to the intentional suppression of the PRIME Act and Country of Origin Labeling, the bipartisan elites are actively working to squeeze out the independent American rancher. He also warns that it's inconceivable that the beef imports are perfectly healthy protein, given the 25% price cut in this market. However, this isn't just about the price of ground beef — it's about techno-feudalism. Wall Street, Big Tech, and foreign corporations are executing the largest land grab since the Indian Wars, attempting to consolidate American farmland for data centers, solar fields, and corporate monopolies.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: August 28, 2026 Length: Not provided Presented by: Global Training Center Summary There's “Bad Blood” in North American trade—and Cindy Allen is breaking down why. In this episode of Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy uses Taylor Swift's “Bad Blood” as the backdrop for a packed international trade update. At the center is the escalating U.S.-Canada trade dispute, including U.S. Section 338 duties and Canada's planned dollar-for-dollar retaliation. With neither side appearing ready to back down, importers should prepare for continued uncertainty and potential legal challenges. But tariffs are only part of the story. Cindy examines concerns surrounding IEEPA tariff refunds and debt offsets, the potentially sweeping implications of the administration's approach to “transshipment,” and evolving foreign importer-of-record requirements that could place new responsibilities on customs brokers. She also explains growing questions around importer vetting, CBP Form 5106, CTPAT certification, and the elimination of the “flying trucks” practice affecting express carriers. The takeaway: longstanding assumptions about country of origin, importer responsibilities, brokerage practices, and North American trade are being challenged at the same time. This Week in Trade • IEEPA tariff refunds, CAPE delays, and concerns about government debt offsets • “The Great Transshipment Scam” and its potential impact on country-of-origin determinations • New foreign importer-of-record, CTPAT, customs broker, and importer-vetting requirements • Escalating U.S.-Canada trade tensions and potential retaliation Main Topic / Discussion The centerpiece of this episode is the growing trade conflict between the United States and Canada. Cindy discusses the imposition of Section 338 duties on certain Canadian goods at 50% and Canada's planned dollar-for-dollar retaliation on U.S. products beginning September 8. She explains why the dispute matters beyond the immediate tariffs: it comes amid broader negotiations over the future of USMCA and alongside other policy changes that could disproportionately affect Canadian companies importing into the United States. The episode also explores a broader shift in customs enforcement. Cindy highlights the administration's approach to transshipment and how treating foreign components as retaining their own essential character could challenge longstanding approaches to substantial transformation and country-of-origin determinations. For importers and customs brokers, these developments could mean significantly more data, due diligence, compliance obligations, and potential liability. Key Takeaways • Importers receiving IEEPA duty refunds should monitor whether disputed federal or state debts are being offset against those refunds. • The government's evolving interpretation of transshipment could dramatically increase the component-level information importers need to obtain and report. • Foreign importer-of-record rules could create new CTPAT requirements and increase responsibilities and potential liability for customs brokers. • The U.S.-Canada tariff dispute may continue escalating, with additional retaliation and legal challenges possible. Resources & Mentions • Global Training Center • CBP Form 5106 and importer-of-record requirements • Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) • USMCA • IEEPA tariff litigation and refund developments • Section 338 duties and U.S.-Canada trade developments Credits Host: Cindy Allen Guest(s): N/A Producer: Lalo Solorzano

Today Blair discusses Texas Senate Bill 17 and a proposed rule that could create new reporting expectations for real estate agents.

A sweeping crackdown on hidden foreign funding could soon force social media influencers to expose who is paying them to shape American politics following newly introduced House legislation. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)  joins to discuss the Foreign Agents Registration Act and how overseas adversaries manufacture political polarization, why her new bill has gained strong bipartisan support, and how the Department of Justice plans to enforce compliance. Prediction markets are booming, but new research is raising concerns about their potential impact on U.S. national security. More than 150 anonymous crypto wallets reportedly made millions betting on U.S. military actions, with investigators flagging an unusually high success rate. With classified information potentially being used to profit from these markets, experts warn the trades could also expose sensitive military operations to foreign actors in real time. Anti-Corruption Data Collective co-founder David Szakonyi speaks with FOX News' Lucas Tomlinson about how these bets could compromise troop safety, and what Washington can do to help.

A stunning streak of wins is emerging for President Trump and it's terrifying Democrats — Supreme Court currently upholds mail-in ballot restrictions, 200,000 foreigners to have their visas revoked, ICE scores major win in federal court over activist judges blocking deportation, ICE carries out historic deportation operation in Virginia-Maryland…  [X] SB – ICE arrests in MD and VA …Ilhan Omar now has an active ICE investigation into her, a $103K fine is coming on H1B visas, Hormuz oil is approaching pre-war flows in recent days…and more  Midterms fast approaching and Trump's MAGA war chest is opening. [X] SB – Pres Trump on buying beef from Argentina Trump is helping a friend. Argentina before Milei: decades of economic self-sabotage Argentina wasn't a poor country that suddenly discovered poverty. It was once one of the world's wealthiest economies. The long-term problem was a political-economic model that repeatedly combined huge government spending, deficits, monetary financing, price and currency controls, protectionism, subsidies, and increasingly heavy regulation. By the time Javier Milei won in November 2023, the accumulated damage was extraordinary: Inflation had moved into triple-digit territory.  The government was running large fiscal deficits.  Foreign-exchange reserves were depleted.  Argentina had multiple exchange rates and extensive currency controls.  The central bank's balance sheet had deteriorated badly.  Importers were accumulating commercial debt because dollars weren't available.  Real wages had collapsed.  Poverty had climbed above 45%.  Argentina was already deeply entangled with the IMF.  The IMF's description of the situation inherited by Milei is unusually blunt: "dangerously acute" imbalances and distortions, resulting from inconsistent and expansionary policies.  That's the environment in which Milei's message of burn down the economic establishment resonated. He wasn't elected because Argentines suddenly became libertarian philosophers. They had lived through enough economic dysfunction that the political equivalent of throwing a brick through the window started looking attractive. What Milei actually did Milei came in December 2023 and immediately attacked the core problem: government spending and monetary disorder. His government imposed severe fiscal discipline, reduced subsidies and spending, deregulated portions of the economy, loosened trade restrictions and foreign-exchange controls, and pursued monetary stabilization. And, importantly, it hurt initially. But the macroeconomic results have been striking. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is Lyon, France the Most Livable City in Europe for Gay Retirees? With Eric WayIn this episode, host Mark Goldstein sits down with Eric Way, a Tennessee-born engineer who arrived in Lyon, France, in 1989 as a university exchange student and never left. Now approaching his 38th year in the city, Eric lives downtown in a 19th-century apartment with his French architect husband and splits time between Lyon and a farmhouse they own in the French Alps. He brings a rare depth of perspective: nearly four decades as an American expat, a career in corporate diversity and inclusion, and a front-row seat to how Lyon has evolved as a livable, gay-friendly city.This episode covers what it actually looks like to build a life in Lyon: the walkability, the world-ranked healthcare, the cost of living compared to Paris, the LGBTQ+ scene, the visa path, and the honest trade-offs.What Is LyonLyon is France's third-largest city, located in southeastern France at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, a geographic feature that gives the city two riverfront parks and a distinctive linear layout. It sits roughly two hours south of Paris by high-speed train and serves as a hub for reaching the French Alps, the Beaujolais wine region, Burgundy, the Riviera, and even Barcelona. The historic center, known as the Presqu'île (the peninsula), is a UNESCO World Heritage site dating back to the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. Lyon is widely considered the gastronomic capital of France.Why Eric Chose LyonEric arrived in 1989 on a one-year university exchange program and found something he did not expect: a city whose values matched his own. Coming from a fundamentalist Christian family in Tennessee and still in the process of coming out, he discovered in Lyon a culture of live-and-let-live tolerance that felt, in his words, freer than the United States. He stayed. A few years later, he met his husband. The rest, as he says, is history.LGBTQ+ LifeLyon has a visible but modest LGBTQ+ scene concentrated around the City Hall area on the Presqu'île. At the time of recording, there are two gay bars, a gay sauna, a sex club, and a bear bar reportedly opening within months. There is a city-sponsored LGBTQ+ center and an annual Pride march, though Eric notes that Lyon Pride has become more politically divided in recent years, with some organizers now refusing corporate participation. The broader city is deeply accepting. Eric and his husband have lived part-time in a 250-person Alpine village for years and describe being fully adopted by their elderly neighbors without a moment of discomfort. Among their friend group, gay and straight friendships naturally overlap, though, like many couples without children, their closest circle has become predominantly other gay couples over time.Daily Life and WalkabilityEric's doctor is three blocks away. His pharmacy, organic grocery store, bank, bakery, butcher, and eye care are all within one to two blocks. Outdoor markets run on Wednesdays and Sundays in his neighborhood. The metro system is efficient and growing, with a tram network expanding even faster. A single ticket costs approximately 2.30 euros and covers one hour of travel. Monthly passes run around 100 euros. Seniors receive rail discounts starting at age 60, often allowing first-class travel at second-class prices.Eric drives his older car into Lyon no more than 52 times per year under a city environmental permit system, which he now finds perfectly adequate since he is no longer working. Lyon's riverfront parks, pedestrian streets, and walkable neighborhoods make car ownership largely optional for daily life.Costs and HousingLyon is typically half the price of Paris for both rent and property. Eric and his husband purchased their 800-square-foot, two-bedroom downtown apartment approximately 30 years ago for about $35,000. It is now worth roughly ten times that. Their monthly electricity bill runs approximately 70 to 80 euros every two months; gas adds about 45 euros on top of that. France applies a 20% VAT on most purchases, which is worth factoring into any cost-of-living comparison.HealthcareFrance's healthcare system consistently ranks first in the world for quality, accessibility, and cost. A standard doctor visit costs 30 euros; specialist visits range from 70 to over 100 euros. Foreign residents access coverage through PUMA, France's universal health coverage, which applies to legal residents regardless of employment status. Most residents also carry a Mutuelle, a supplementary top-up insurance policy that covers what the national system does not. Eric pays approximately 250 euros per month for a Mutuelle covering both himself and his husband.Visas and ResidencyThe standard route for American retirees is a long-stay visitor visa, applied for through the French consulate in the United States before departure. Residents typically start with one-year renewals before eventually qualifying for a ten-year card. Eric notes that a recent change to French law has removed the citizenship pathway for non-working residents. Americans retiring to France on a visitor visa are unlikely to be eligible for naturalization under the current rules.France does not officially recognize a digital nomad visa. Eric cautions anyone planning to work remotely in France to take legal advice before doing so, as working without proper authorization carries real risk.TaxesThe US-France tax treaty is highly favorable for American retirees. If your income is US-sourced, France will generally not tax it, and you will continue paying US rates. Eric recommends working with both a US tax preparer and a French one, particularly for the first few years.One specific flag: France does not recognize trusts. If you have a trust established in the United States, you need professional advice before moving to France, as it will be taxed very unfavorably and may fall outside the treaty's protections.France also has a wealth tax on real estate holdings above approximately 1.2 million euros, and forced heirship laws that entitle children to a portion of your estate regardless of your wishes. Both are worth understanding before making the move.Crime and SafetyEric has lived in Lyon's city center for nearly four decades and describes feeling consistently safe. In that entire time, he recalls one incident in which he and his husband were briefly followed downtown and had to walk away quickly. France has a higher rate of property crime relative to the United States, but a significantly lower rate of violent crime and essentially no gun violence outside of hunting contexts. Responsible gun ownership is legally required: pistols for target shooting require a course and registration.Arts, Culture, and CommunityLyon has the second-largest fine arts museum in France outside the Louvre, a national orchestra, a Jean Nouvel-designed opera house, the Maison de la Danse (an internationally renowned contemporary dance center with a biennial festival), and rotating modern art exhibitions in repurposed industrial spaces. The Festival of Lights each December transforms the city's buildings into a four-day sound-and-light spectacle. June 21 brings the Fête de la Musique, a nationwide outdoor concert event where every square in the city fills with live music from classical to rock to jazz.What to Know Before You GoFrench is essential. Eric is direct about this: people who arrive expecting to get by on a few phrases or believing fluency will come by osmosis are setting themselves up for frustration and social isolation. He recommends investing in one-on-one instruction before you arrive, not after. Jumpspeak is his suggested app for building conversational fluency.The climate has four seasons: mild winters with rare snow, pleasant springs and autumns, and summers that are warming noticeably due to climate change. Eric manages without air conditioning through insulation techniques, though newer and renovated buildings increasingly have heat pumps that provide cooling as a byproduct.Lyon rewards people who want to get out and explore. The city sits at the gateway to the Alps, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Provence, the Riviera, Switzerland, and Italy. Eric and his husband once went bungee jumping in the Alps, drove to Italy for pasta for dinner, and were home in Lyon that night. For those who prefer to stay closer to home, the outdoor markets, river walks, and restaurant scene are enough to fill a very good life.Resources MentionedPresqu'ile: Lyon's central peninsula neighborhood between the Rhone and Saone rivers Perrache: The original Lyon train station, three minutes from Eric's apartment Fourviere: The hilltop with Lyon's famous basilica and Roman ruins Beaujolais vineyards: 30 minutes from Lyon; beautiful in autumn Albertville: Near Eric's Alpine farmhouse; site of the 1992 Winter Olympics Festival of Lights (Fete des Lumieres): Annual four-day light installation festival each December Fete de la Musique: June 21, nationwide outdoor music festival Maison de la Danse: Lyon's internationally recognized contemporary dance center PUMA: France's universal health coverage for residents Mutuelle: Supplementary insurance that tops up public healthcare coverage PACS: French civil partnership; same tax treatment as marriage, with one exception: survivor pension rights do not transfer unless married Jumpspeak: Language learning app recommended by Eric for conversational FrenchListen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts, on YouTube, or at

A sweeping crackdown on hidden foreign funding could soon force social media influencers to expose who is paying them to shape American politics following newly introduced House legislation. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)  joins to discuss the Foreign Agents Registration Act and how overseas adversaries manufacture political polarization, why her new bill has gained strong bipartisan support, and how the Department of Justice plans to enforce compliance. Prediction markets are booming, but new research is raising concerns about their potential impact on U.S. national security. More than 150 anonymous crypto wallets reportedly made millions betting on U.S. military actions, with investigators flagging an unusually high success rate. With classified information potentially being used to profit from these markets, experts warn the trades could also expose sensitive military operations to foreign actors in real time. Anti-Corruption Data Collective co-founder David Szakonyi speaks with FOX News' Lucas Tomlinson about how these bets could compromise troop safety, and what Washington can do to help.

I've got a bad feeling about the South Carolina runoff for Darlene Graham. Lindsey Graham's sister led the first round with roughly 32 percent but now faces Representative Ralph Norman. Trump encouraged her to run, endorsed her before she formally entered, campaigned with her in Myrtle Beach, and held a runoff-eve tele-rally. MAGA Inc. spent $827,000 on last-day calls and texts supporting her. Norman is a longtime officeholder with a hardline conservative record who backed Trump but committed the unforgivable sin of endorsing Nikki Haley in 2024.The problem is that Darlene has run an objectively bad campaign, even though the campaign she needed wasn't difficult. Make it all about Lindsey. South Carolina Republicans had already chosen him, and nobody knew him like his sister. She could've presented herself as a caretaker working with his staff to finish the agenda he spent his life building. Every sentence should've begun or ended with “Lindsey told me” or “This is what Lindsey would've wanted.” Erase the Darlene.Instead, she's tried to establish the Darlene show. She's drawn distinctions between Lindsey's foreign-policy focus and her domestic priorities, but if she's going to be anything other than Lindsey's caretaker, voters don't know her. That choice also makes every piece of her own record fair game. Then she delivered one of the biggest gaffes of the midterms when Greta Van Susteren gave her a question about China and she absolutely gagged on it. You've got to know “China bad.” It's a two-word answer. She hasn't done good; she's done bad.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.This is also a low, low, low, low, low-turnout runoff. Dozens of people are going to vote, and the people who show up in elections like this are usually the most energized. The most energized South Carolina Republicans aren't necessarily Lindsey Graham voters. Many of them are the people who hated Lindsey Graham and wanted a more purebred MAGA senator. Darlene has the Graham name, but the name was already controversial within the party. Her hedge is Trump. The question is whether Trump can still get those voters out.Trump's average approval is 39.5 percent, with 57.2 percent disapproving. Stinky, bad, awful. If you're in the low 40s, it's bad. If you're in the high 30s, it's terrible. Darlene says she's focused on domestic policy, the economy, and kitchen-table issues, but Trump's economic numbers are even worse: 35.9 percent approve and 60.9 percent disapprove. That's a 25-point spread. Donald Trump has been the wind beneath her wings, but I don't know what kind of draft that endorsement creates anymore, even in deep-red South Carolina.MAGA Inc. has $404 million on hand but spent only $2.3 million through July before dumping nearly $1 million into this runoff at the last minute. A huge cash advantage works best when you define people early, not when you wait until the final days. The energy and the issues are with Democrats, while two supposed Republican advantages — money and redistricting — don't look like advantages right now. If Trump's endorsement and a last-minute MAGA Inc. spending spree can't save Lindsey Graham's sister in South Carolina, that's a bad sign for Republicans far beyond this runoff.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:17 - College Sports Bill00:08:01 - Darlene Graham00:25:20 - Canada00:30:45 - Iran00:34:18 - Mail-in Voting00:37:57 - Interview with Eric Geller01:09:00 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

The Federal Communications Commission's new ban on foreign-produced solar inverters left the industry without clear answers on warehoused stock, firmware updates, and grid cybersecurity risk. On this episode of The Clean Power Hour Live, hosts Tim Montague and John Weaver break down the foreign inverter ban alongside new Section 232 solar tariffs that set a 38 cent per watt minimum price on modules. They also cover a Reuters report on Chinese electric truck exports climbing as diesel prices spike across Southeast Asia, a 30% efficient perovskite-silicon solar panel from Tandem PV headed to market this fall, and a phishing scam using fake zoning invoices to target solar contractors. Recorded live on August 21, 2026, this episode covers solar policy, battery storage, and grid security in one sitting.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSFCC added foreign inverters and communication devices to its Covered List on July 28, citing grid cybersecurity risk from remote firmware updates.

Most people dread PCS season for how much it drains the bank account — Jared flips it into a $7,500 payday. Back on the show, the host of the Military Miler podcast breaks down the exact moves he used moving his family from Italy to Japan: circuitous travel memos, leave in conjunction with official travel, stacking credit card credits, and pocketing thousands in COLA and utilities along the way. But this one goes deeper than travel hacking — it's a candid conversation about budgeting overseas, why your savings rate should bend to your values, and the trap of chasing financial independence so hard you forget to live. Practical tactics up front, real talk about "enjoying the ride" on the back half. Questions Asked: What's the strategy you're using to plus up your bank account before your next OCONUS assignment? Why did your chief recommend NOT going TDY en route, and how does transient BAH factor in? How does circuitous travel work, and how much does the Air Force reimburse per person? How do programs like LICWO (Leave in Conjunction with Official Travel) and circuitous travel actually save families money? What credit card moves are you stacking to get reimbursed for flights, fees, and pet travel? Living OCONUS, have you found any apps, tips, or systems that help track expenses and stick to a budget? Why did you switch from YNAB to Monarch Money, and what won you over? How do you handle irregular overseas bills, currency exchange, and fuel cards when budgeting? Which credit cards make sense overseas (foreign transaction fees, Visa/Mastercard acceptance)? How do you decide between living on base vs. off base — and paying above your BAH? What do you give up by chasing an extremely high savings rate, and is there a better balance? Where can people find you and what are you working on? Main Topics Covered: Turning a PCS into a profit: banking ~$2,500/month in saved COLA and utilities for a ~$7,500 net gain Circuitous travel and LICWO explained — and getting a $4,500-per-person reimbursement memo "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" — advocating for better travel options instead of accepting the worst flights Keeping family in a higher-BAH location, SCRA lease breaks, and shipping goods early to save Reducing the PCS burden on your spouse as part of the service member's job Credit card strategy: airline fee credits (Amex Platinum, Ritz-Carlton), Sapphire Reserve travel credits, and getting cat/pet fees reimbursed Budgeting overseas: YNAB vs. Monarch Money, auto-categorization, and creating spending rules Handling irregular utility bills, delayed charges, currency swings, and fuel cards abroad Building a bigger emergency fund and "don't spend your utility money" advice for new OCONUS airmen Foreign transaction fees — why annual-fee cards (waived for active duty) and Visa/Mastercard win overseas Weekly money meetings and aligning spending with your values (h/t Rebel Finance School, Ramit Sethi) Using points and miles to fly family in, book cheap intra-Asia trips, and buy "free" wants (Sonos speakers) A real-world redemption: 27,000 Alaska points + $150 vs. $1,600 cash for family flights Seasons of military life — the adventure vs. community continuum, and choosing per assignment The FIRE trap: why "sacrifice everything now" is shortsighted, and enjoying the ride to financial independence Bonus: Japanese microvans and minivans (Honda N-Box, Toyota Alphard, Delica) and the weak yen Links & Resources Mentioned: Military Miler podcast (YouTube and all podcast platforms) militarytravelrewards.com Monarch Money https://www.monarch.com/ (referral link for ~50% off first year) https://www.monarch.com/referral?code=iqj4r4ixad  Military Money Manual mentorship — militarymoneymanual.com/mentor Referenced first appearance: Military Money Manual episode 217 Spencer and Jamie offer one-on-one Military Money Mentor sessions.
