Podcasts about South Korea

AI agents are exploding in power and reach, simultaneously automating code security (OpenAI Aardvark), bypassing paywalls, and triggering corporate warfare (Amazon vs. Perplexity). Yet automated surveillance is failing citizens: a Colorado woman was falsely accused of theft byFlock cameras, only cleared by her Rivian's own footage. Norway disabled internet on 850 Chinese buses after finding hidden remote-shutdown features, while Xi Jinping joked about “backdoors” when gifting Xiaomi phones to South Korea's president—amid live U.S.-China trade tensions.1. AI Agents & Browsers • Atlas (OpenAI) collects every click to train models; users are the product. • Comet (Perplexity) bypasses paywalls, slashing publisher referrals 96%; Amazon calls it fraud for undisclosed AI purchases. • AI browsers remain clunky and vulnerable to prompt-injection attacks.2. Autonomous Cyber Defense • Aardvark (GPT-5) scans repos, validates exploits in sandboxes, and auto-patches; 92% detection, 10+ CVEs found. • Edge & Chrome use on-device AI to block scareware pop-ups—no cloud, no privacy leak. • GitHub Octoverse 2026 Forecast: AI writes >30% of code; TypeScript + Python >50% of new repos; India overtakes U.S. as #1 contributor.3. Geopolitical Tech Risks • Norway: 850 Chinese e-buses lose web access after remote-disable code discovered in diagnostics. • Xi-Lee Summit: Xiaomi phone gift → “Check for backdoors” quip → laughter, but U.S. espionage fears linger.4. Surveillance Backfire • Colorado: Flock ALPR logs Rivian passing → police issue summons without checking timestamps. • Rivian's 360° cameras prove owner never stopped; charges dropped. • Lesson: automated data treated as fact, not evidence, until countered by personal tech.Bottom LineAI is now infrastructure—writing code, reading paywalls, and defending systems—yet it amplifies surveillance errors and geopolitical fault lines. Tools built for control can misidentify citizens or disable cities. The same camera that accuses can exonerate; the same agent that shops can defraud. Human oversight remains the final firewall.

Join us n this episode as we start our conversation talking about the 2025 American elections that just took place, then continuing on with American politics to Trump wanting to start testing Nukes again! We breifly discuss the allegations of excessive force by ICE then give an update on the UPS plane that crashed in Louisville. We then shift to just south of the border where a Mexican Mayor was shot for opposing the Cartels, and where the Mexican President was groped and kissed by a drunken citizen! Next we talk about Russian oil exports and how they will be taking a dip after Trump ensured China, India, and Turkey will no longer be buying from Putin. Staying on the Asian conversation South Korea has launched its 5th and final spy satellite to watch north Korea. We then shift our attention West to give an update on Gaza and the situation there as the "ceasefire" continues, before shifting south towards Tanzania and the political riots playing out there. We then go north to France where they have 3 men arrested as suspects in the Louvre heist, but the crown jewels are still not found. Finally we finish briefly discussing new humanoid AI robots that are set to be released soon, and give an update on 3I/ Atlas.To join in on the conversation next Wednesday night at 9pm cst, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. You're listening to Burnt Toast. I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today, my conversation is with Kaila Yu. Kaila is an author based in Los Angeles. Her debut memoir, Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty, came out earlier this fall to a rave review in The New York Times. She's also a luxury travel and culture writer with bylines in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The LA Times, Condé Nast Traveler and many more. Kaila's memoir grapples with her experience growing up Asian and female in a world that has so many stereotypes and expectations about both those things. We talk about the pressure to perform so many different kinds of specific beauty labor, the experience of being objectified sexually —and we really get into how we all navigate the dual reality of hating beauty standards and often feeling safer and happier complying with them. I learned so much from this book, and this conversation with Kaila.

This week's episode explores five major developments shaping business, politics, and society. In New York City, 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani made history as the first Muslim and Indian-origin mayor, defeating Andrew Cuomo with a progressive platform that embraced his multicultural heritage—though his criticism of PM Modi sparked fierce debate in India. Meanwhile, United Spirits announced a review of its Royal Challengers Bangalore investment, potentially valuing Virat Kohli's IPL team at $2 billion and setting a new benchmark for cricket franchises. On the global stage, the US-China trade war saw a temporary thaw as Beijing suspended most retaliatory tariffs following a Trump-Xi meeting in South Korea, offering relief to businesses caught in the crossfire. Back in India, Maharashtra became the first state to partner with Elon Musk's Starlink for satellite internet, promising to bridge the digital divide in remote regions. Finally, Titan defied conventional wisdom by posting strong earnings despite record gold prices of ₹1.33 lakh per 10 grams, as Indian consumers adapted by buying lighter jewelry ahead of the crucial wedding season. Together, these stories reveal a world marked by political disruption, evolving valuations of cultural assets, tentative diplomatic progress, technological leaps, and remarkable consumer resilience.

S&P futures are pointing to flat open following Tuesday's selloff. European equity markets are edging lower in early trades, though the FTSE 100 is bucking the trend, supported by strength in defensive sectors. Asian markets ended largely lower today, with Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's Kospi both losing over (3%) as tech stocks faced sustained selling pressure. Major losses came from SoftBank, Advantest, and Tokyo Electron in Japan; Samsung and SK Hynix in South Korea; and TSMC in Taiwan, dragging respective indices lower. The Kospi is on track for its worst day since April. Companies Mentioned: Axon Enterprise, Alphabet, AMD

In the latest episode of Facts vs. Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist, discuss the powerful role of momentum in today's markets and what investors should expect heading into year-end. They examine how the S&P 500's impressive rally fits into historical context, why tech leadership remains dominant, and how market breadth and global participation are evolving. The conversation also explores the impact of Federal Reserve policy shifts, cooling trade tensions, and the surprising resilience of the U.S. economy.Key TakeawaysHistoric Market Strength: The S&P 500 has gained nearly 23% over the past six months, placing this move in the top 4% of all six-month returns. History shows that strong momentum often leads to continued upside in the following year.Tech-Driven Leadership: The recent rally has been powered largely by technology. The Magnificent Seven continue to dominate, with the S&P 500 Technology Index up 44% over six months. Global Momentum: It's not just the U.S.—developed and emerging markets are rallying too. South Korea, Taiwan, and China are leading EM gains, while countries like South Africa, Mexico, and Japan also show strong performance.Economic Resilience: Despite talk of a “K-shaped” economy, U.S. GDP growth remains near 2%. Earnings are rising across sectors, with 80% of companies beating on both revenue and profits.Trade Tensions Easing: The U.S.–China trade war appears to be cooling, with both sides de-escalating tariffs and trade restrictions. China is resuming soybean purchases and suspending certain export controls, while the U.S. has paused new restrictions—reducing a major geopolitical headwind.Fed's Delicate Balance: The Federal Reserve cut rates again, bringing total cuts to 150 basis points since the cycle's peak. While inflation remains a concern for some members, Powell's comments suggested a dovish tone, emphasizing that inflation pressures are manageable and economic momentum remains intact.Connect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: Ryan Detrick• X: @ryandetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: Sonu Varghese• X: @sonusvarghese Questions about the show?

How Australia's new "solar sharer" program will give every household three hours of free solar power a day—even if they don't have panels! It's a bold experiment to shift energy use to the middle of the day when the sun is strongest. In California, the state quietly pulled the plug on its long-delayed e-bike rebate program, shuffling the remaining funds into clean car subsidies instead. The hosts argue it's a short-sighted move that favors more expensive solutions over the most efficient ones. Meanwhile, South Korea now requires solar canopies over large parking lots nationwide—providing clean power, shade, and EV charging. The hosts also mark ten years since the Paris Accord and look back at how renewables blew past early forecasts. Other stories include Kia's big EV push into Japan, Chery's 800-mile solid-state battery breakthrough, and listener mail about Chinese automakers. The Lightning Round: Waymo expands robotaxis to new cities, Hyundai's global EV sales surge 47%, France tops global energy efficiency rankings, and a shocking stat—rising heat now kills one person every minute.

After almost a year of an escalating trade war, U.S. President Donald Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea last week. While official statements from both sides framed the summit as a positive move forward in a period of growing political, economic and military tensions on the international scale, it may also mark a distinct change in the U.S. approach. The Trump administration had imposed extremely high tariffs on Chinese exports to the US this year. China then imposed its own retaliatory tariffs.But despite Trump's triumphalist language around the meeting, the U.S. continues to place economic restrictions on China. It will restrict China's access to NVIDIA's latest Blackwell generation of chips, despite CEO Jensen Huang saying last week he hoped to be able to sell the chips in China. And the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments this week about Trump's tariffs against Chinese and other international goods, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington ruled over two months ago, on August 29th, that the President overreached his executive power in imposing the tariffs by invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.Ultimately - and despite a perhaps temporary lowering of temperatures - the trade war is far from over and may spill into other significant geopolitical areas.Support the show

Singapore shares dipped today to track declines seen in the region. The Straits Times Index was down 0.33% at 4,408.27 points at 1.49pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$1.33B seen in the broader market. In terms of counters to watch, we have SIA Engineering, after the company posted a 13.5 per cent improvement in net profit to S$40.4 million for the second quarter ended September. Elsewhere, from more on the major sell-off seen in Asia today, to how China said it would extend the suspension of an additional 24 per cent tariff on US goods for one year, keeping a 10 per cent blanket tariff in place, more international headlines remained in focus.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1187: GM trims its workforce and tech leadership as it reassesses priorities. Kia hits pause on its next U.S. EV launch amid regulatory roadblocks. And Walmart leans into nostalgia with a print catalog push designed to elevate its home game.Show Notes with links:General Motors made sweeping changes last week, laying off workers and restructuring leadership as it adjusted to shifting market signals. What began as a response to softening EV demand quickly expanded into a broader corporate shakeup.GM eliminated 1,750 jobs, including 1,200 from Factory Zero in Detroit and hundreds more at paused battery plants in Ohio and Tennessee.The company cited weaker EV sales and regulatory uncertainty as reasons for scaling back production.Senior VP of Software David Richardson abruptly exited following an internal reorg just days after presenting at GM's tech event.His responsibilities were shifted under product leadership led by Tesla/Aurora alum Sterling Anderson.CEO Mary Barra assumed oversight of cybersecurity and IT, signaling a more hands-on approach to GM's tech transformation.Kia has officially delayed the U.S. release of its compact EV4 sedan, which was initially slated to arrive in early 2026.The EV4, revealed at the New York Auto Show, was expected to start under $40K with up to 330 miles of range.Kia confirmed the delay, citing “changing market conditions for EVs” as primary cause.The expiration of the $7,500 EV tax credit and new import tariffs have reshaped the economics of launching foreign-built EVs in the U.S.The EV4 was to be manufactured in South Korea and imported to the U.S.; that plan is now on hold indefinitely.Kia's EV lineup already includes the EV6, EV9, and Niro EVIn an unexpected move, Walmart has revived the old-school print catalog to boost its home goods visibility. The retailer's latest campaign mixes nostalgia with strategy, aiming to reintroduce shoppers to a broader, more style-forward product lineup.Walmart released a full-scale home catalog in August, targeting new, existing, and lapsed customers ahead of the holidays.The catalog showcases furniture, decor, and appliances with QR codes linking to Walmart's online store.SVP Creighton Kiper described the catalog as a static creative tool to reposition Walmart as a destination for affordable, high-style home goods.Despite rapid execution, early impressions and engagement exceeded expectations — though no follow-up editions have been confirmed.“Most retailers recognize… you have to have a marketing mix across online and offline channels to really reach the consumer,” said Polly Wong, President of Belardi Wong.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:03 Upcoming Edge Webinar Tomorrow!1:39 GM Shakes Up ExeJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

S&P futures are down (1%) and pointing to a lower open today as global equity markets retreat following hawkish Fed commentary. Concerns over the sustainability of AI-linked valuations, rising debt issuance in the sector, and regulatory scrutiny in Asia are weighing on technology stocks globally. Technology stocks in South Korea and Japan were hit hard, with SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics down over (5%) each. Australia also saw sharp declines following the RBA's inflation revisions. European markets are also broadly lower in early trades. Companies Mentioned: Starbucks, Denny's, Viper Energy

Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Phil Royle is the Vice President of LEGOLAND Development and Operations at Merlin Entertainments. With nearly 25 years at Merlin, he's grown from a 17-year-old ride operator at Chessington World of Adventures to opening Madame Tussauds Hollywood, leading guest experience at LEGOLAND Florida, and spearheading the development and launches of new LEGOLAND parks in New York, South Korea, and Shanghai. His career spans operations, development, community engagement, and global brand stewardship across 11 parks, multiple water parks, and themed hotels. In this interview, Phil Royle talks about being brick-centric, fantastical escapism, and teaching everything you can. Brick-centric “We have to make sure that everything we do centers around the brick. The brick is absolutely a core part of everything we do.” Phil explains that the LEGO brick is not just theming—it's the operating system for the entire resort experience. Because LEGOLAND serves families with children ages two to twelve, attractions are intentionally designed as “pink-knuckle” firsts: first coaster rides, first driving school licenses, and first hands-on build zones. Accessibility and inclusion are embedded, from wheelchair access to widespread Certified Autism Center credentials across parks, aligning day-to-day operations with the brand's “only the best is good enough” ethos. He describes a tight collaboration with the LEGO toy company, aligning new lands and attractions to upcoming toy lines so the parks bring IP like Monkey Kid to life in rides, hotels, and interactive spaces. Even hotel rooms extend the brick-first philosophy: families wake up inside immersive, character-rich environments and can step straight into building play, ensuring the brick is literally the first and last touchpoint of the day. Fantastical escapism “We want that fantastical escape to just say, ‘wow, I woke up at LEGOLAND.'” Phil explains that escapism is a design and operational mandate for both kids and parents. While queues and coasters provide the familiar structure of a theme park day, discovery and agency come from integrated build-and-play moments, such play areas inside queues, free-build buckets, guided vehicle-building challenges, and earthquake tables that turn trial-and-error into laughter and learning. Guests think they're just racing cars or stacking towers; in reality, they're encountering physics, structural engineering, and cause-and-effect through tangible, joyful play. He emphasizes that parents are part of the magic. Attractions and play spaces are planned so adults can ride, build, and celebrate alongside their kids, or comfortably supervise from thoughtfully designed lounges with clear sightlines (single-entry/exit play areas). Dining, shows, seasonal characters, and event overlays (from Brick or Treat through the holidays) complete a rhythm that lets families “forget the big wide world” for a day and live inside a story built from bricks and imagination. Teaching everything you can “You can only move on if you teach your team absolutely everything you can so that they can be successful on their own.” Phil frames leadership mobility and park scalability as outcomes of radical knowledge transfer. Opening multiple parks across continents required documenting processes, building successor capability, and ensuring local teams could operate confidently after handover. When knowledge is hoarded, questions bottleneck at the last team; when it's centralized and shared, the next parks in the pipeline (Shanghai, Shenzhen, and beyond) can accelerate with fewer blockers. He also extends teaching beyond internal teams to partners, media, and communities, using proactive education to align global safety standards with local norms (as in South Korea), and cultivating networks where safety transcends competition.

In Season 6, Episode 5 of Global Taiwan Insights, Ben Sando interviews Dr. Eun A Jo, an Assistant Professor at William and Mary and expert on South Korean politics. In June this year, the Democratic Party of Korea's Lee Jae Myung was elected president, triggering speculation that South Korea would discontinue its policy of clear alignment with the United States. Before Lee took office, Seoul had been working with Tokyo and Washington on military and economic collaboration intended to deter both China and North Korea. As a non-traditional politician, Lee's policies towards Taiwan are not easy to predict, and Jo explains how we can interpret his early political decisions.

November 3, 2025 - Join us for a rapid reaction analysis of The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) 2025 summit, held in Gyeongju, South Korea from October 31 to November 1. Our discussion examines all the most significant outcomes in terms of trade and geopolitics, with special emphasis on the US, Korea, and the US-Korea relationship. The priorities for this year's forum are: "Connect, Innovate, Prosper." In a preparatory meeting, senior officials from APEC members discussed "strategies for digital economy integration, public health cooperation, and strengthening APEC's role as an incubator of practical, consensus-driven solutions." As host nation, Korea's initiatives include: "addressing demographic change and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology." We are joined by Kate Kalutkiewicz, Senior Managing Director of the Trade Practice & McLarty Inbound at McLarty Associates, Professor Jaemin Lee, Professor of Law at Seoul National University and Dean of the School of Law, and Scott Jacobs, Head of Global Public Policy at Coupang. The conversation will be moderated by policy director Jonathan Corrado and policy program officer Chelsie Alexandre. This program is made possible by the generous support of our individual and corporate members and the Korea Foundation. APEC originated as a ministerial meeting of 12 Asian Pacific countries in 1989. The idea for the forum was proposed by Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke during a trip to Seoul in January 1989. A leaders' summit was introduced in 1993 and a series of expansions increased the number of members to 21. South Korea previously hosted the ministerial meeting in Seoul 1991 and the leaders' meeting in Busan 2005. APEC's mission is to "support sustainable economic growth and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region." This program is co-hosted by The APEC Study Center at Columbia University.

大主播：Flora（一席老师） 小主播：Shine（一席学生）01. OpenAI Moves to Generate AI Music in Potential Rivalry with Startup SunoOpenAI进军AI音乐生成领域，或将与初创公司Suno展开竞争近期，The Information报道了一条标题为OpenAI Moves to Generate AI Music in Potential Rivalry with Startup Suno 的新闻。OpenAI，是美国一个人工智能研究实验室，用来开发人工智能。例如：ChatGPT就是OpenAI研发的。Move to是“移动到……”，更具体一些就是“开始或着手做……”��What does open AI move to do?To generate AI music.Generate（读音/ˈdʒenəreɪt/），意思是“生成”。例如：现在用AI生成的图片我们就可以说：AI-generated images.那么OpenAI moves to generate AI music就是“OpenAI要开始做AI音乐”。��OpenAI是第一家开始做AI music的公司吗？其实并不是，我们往后看就知道啦：后面的介词短语in potential rivalry说明了OpenAI这么做其实是陷入潜在的竞争之中。Potential（读音/pəˈtenʃ(ə)l/），意思是“潜在的，有可能的”；同时，我们的“潜力”也可以用potential。Rivalry（读音/ˈraɪv(ə)lri/）是“竞争、较量”。词根是rival，意思是“竞争对手”；再加上一个后缀-ry就变成了“竞争选手之间的较量”。所以，in potential rivalry意思就是“陷入潜在的竞争”。��But who is Open AI's rival？Startup Suno.Start up这个短语是“启动”的意思。不过这里start和up中间没有空格，startup是一个单词，意思是“刚刚启动的公司”，也就是“初创企业”。所以Startup Suno意思就是“初创企业Suno”。标题用了一个with Startup Suno，说明Open AI的潜在竞争者是一个叫Suno的初创公司。��Back Info:Suno可以直接用AI生成纯音乐，也可以生成含有人声的歌曲。所以新闻标题OpenAI Moves to Generate AI Music in Potential Rivalry with Startup Suno 意思就是：OpenAI进军AI音乐生成领域，或将与初创公司Suno展开竞争。新闻来源：The Information试想一下：��OpenAI进军AI音乐，会对我们听音乐有影响吗？AI音乐会变得更多吗？可能以后我们会听到更多用 AI 创作的曲子，音乐创作会更快、定制音乐也会更方便。但也有人担心版权问题，还担心人类创作者的工作会不会因此受到影响。欢迎大家在评论区留言自己喜欢的歌。除此之外，你想不想听AI的改编版呢？02. Gmail-Linked Credentials Exposed in Massive BreachGmail联合账户的登录凭证在一次大规模数据泄露中被曝光2025年10月28日，科技网站TechRepublic报道了一则标题为Gmail-Linked Credentials Exposed in Massive Breach的新闻。这是一起大规模数据泄露事件，引起广泛轰动。Gmail是谷歌的邮箱。前面的G就是取了Google的首字母G，所以叫Gmail。��What happened to Gmail?Gmail-Linked credentials exposed.Link是“链接”的意思，在第一期栏目中我们曾提到过：星链卫星就是starlink satellite。在标题中，它和Gmail组合在一起再加后缀-ed构成了一个形容词。Gmail-Linked意思就是“和Gmail相连接的”。所以，……linked就是“和……相连接的”。��Then what is linked to gmail? Credentials. Gmail-Linked credentials.Credentials（读音/krəˈdenʃ(ə)lz/）原本有“资格证”的意思。1）词根-cred来源于拉丁语，意思是“信任”。比如credit就有“信用”的意思；2）后面的-ent表示“有某种性质”——专门用来构成名词或者形容词；3）结尾加一个-ial，表示“和……有关的事物”。那么和具备信任相关的事物，就是“凭证”的意思。所以，Gmail-Linked credentials就是“和Gmail相连接的凭证”。��Back Info:这里的凭证是指登录凭证，比如我们平时登录需要的账号和密码；又因为Gmail 邮箱一般会绑定其他的平台，所以Gmail-Linked credentials是指“跟Gmail绑定账户的登录凭证”，或者也可以说“Gmail联合账户的登录凭证”。因此，一旦Gmail邮箱被泄露，不只是谷歌邮箱本身有风险，跟Gmail登录系统绑定的账号同样会陷入危险之中。所以标题才说Gmail-Linked credentials exposed。Expose（读音/ɪkˈspoʊz/）意思是“泄露”。Ex-意思是“向外”，-pose意思是“放”，那合起来expose向外放，也就是“暴露”。我们不难发现，在标题中exposed前省略了be动词。完整的表达应该是：Gmail-Linked credentials are exposed。��那这次有多少账户的数据被泄露了呢？In massive breach.Massive（读音/ˈmæsɪv/）意思是“大量的”。词根是名词mass（许多，大量），加一个形容词后缀-ive，就变成了massive。Breach（读音/briːtʃ/）意思是“漏洞破坏”，例如：data breach意思就是“数据泄露”。所以，in massive breach在新闻标题中就是说“这是一次大规模的数据泄露事件”。据说有1.83亿Gmail用户密码遭泄露，这也成为了史上最大规模邮箱密码泄漏事件。所以，新闻标题Gmail-Linked Credentials Exposed in Massive Breach意思就是：Gmail联合账户的登录凭证在一次大规模数据泄露中被曝光。新闻来源：TechRepublic03. South Korea's Gyeongju Scrambles to Host Trump, Xi and More Leaders at APEC 韩国庆州紧急筹备，迎接特朗普、习近平等多国领导人出席APEC会议2025年10月29日，TORRE. News报道了一条标题为South Korea's Gyeongju Scrambles to Host Trump, Xi and More Leaders at APEC的新闻。South Korea是“韩国”。Gyeongju是韩国的古都——“庆州”。��What happened to South Korea's Gyeongju?South Korea's Gyeongju Scrambles.Scramble（读音/ˈskræmb(ə)l/）就是炒鸡蛋scrambled eggs里的那个scramble，本意是“搅动或者在混乱中行动”。在新闻里表示“匆忙行动”或“紧急筹备”。比如这里的Gyeongju scrambles to host...就是说“庆州正紧急筹备to host……”。Host意思是“主持人或东道主”。��Back Info：今年的APEC会议（亚太经济合作组织峰会）在韩国举行，可以说South Korea is the host。不过这里的host不是名词，而是动词，是说韩国作为东道主要去承办这个会议。新闻标题中写道to host Trump, Xi and more leaders，意思就是“会迎接美国总统特朗普、我国国家主席习近平，还有更多国家领导人”。At APEC，就是指这件事“在APEC会议上发生的”。所以，新闻标题South Korea's Gyeongju Scrambles to Host Trump, Xi and More Leaders意思就是：韩国庆州紧急筹备，迎接特朗普、习近平等多国领导人出席APEC会议。新闻来源：TORRE. News04. China Builds World's Largest 5G Network with 4.7 Million Base Stations中国建立全球最大的5G网络，拥有470万个基站2025年10月28日，中国环球电视网（CGTN）报道了一条标题为China Builds World's Largest 5G Network with 4.7 Million Base Stations的新闻。5G——第五代通信技术，是我们在手机上经常看到的标志。标题中提到的world's largest 5G network，就是说“世界上最大的5G网络”。��那是谁建了这世界上最大的5G网络呢？China. China builds world's largest 5G network.在这句之后跟了一个with短语——with 4.7 Million Base Stations，表示世界上最大的5G网络有470 万个基站。Base是“基地”，station是“站台”，连起来base station就成了“基站”。��Back Info：这些基站是做什么用的呢？其实5G基站就是5G网络的核心设备，它负责无线信号的覆盖，把有线通信网络和无线终端（比如我们的手机、平板等）连接起来。所以，新闻标题China Builds World's Largest 5G Network with 4.7 Million Base Stations 意思就是：中国建立全球最大的5G网络，拥有470万个基站。新闻来源：CGTN05. China Blows Past Record for Europe Car Sales on Hybrid, EV Gains中国汽车在欧洲销量突破纪录，混合动力与电动车增长成为主要推动力2025年10月29日，彭博社（Bloomberg）报道了一条标题为China Blows Past Record for Europe Car Sales on Hybrid, EV Gains的新闻。Record（读音/ˈrekərd/），意思是“纪录”。例如：break the record意思就是“打破纪录”。但是在标题当中，“破纪录”用了另外一个地道的表达——China Blows Past Record。Blow是吹，past是过去，但是合起来blow past......可不是“吹过去”的意思，而是“轻松超过”。再结合后面的record，就是blows past record——“打破纪录”。��那中国是打破了什么记录呢？For Europe car sales.For表示原因。Europe car sales是指“欧洲汽车的销量”。所以，China Blows past record for Europe car sales意思就是说“中国汽车在欧洲的销量打破纪录”。��那是在哪方面的Europe Car Sales呢？On Hybrid, EV.Hybrid（读音/ˈhaɪbrɪd/）很好理解，它有“杂交物种”的意思，或者是“混合物”；在汽车方面，就是说这个汽车的动力是“混合的，是混合动力车”。这种汽车既能用油又能用电，所以叫混合动力车。EV是electric vehicle（读音/ɪˈlektrɪk/ /ˈviːəkl/）的缩写，意思是“电动汽车”。Gains（读音/ɡeɪnz/），除了有“获得”的意思之外，还可以表示“增长”。所以，for Europe Car Sales on Hybrid, EV Gains就是说“由于欧洲混合动力和电动车的汽车销量增长”。新闻标题China Blows Past Record for Europe Car Sales on Hybrid, EV Gains意思就是：中国汽车在欧洲销量突破纪录，混合动力与电动车增长成为主要推动力。新闻来源：BloombergRead the world, expand your view! 英语读世界，热点拓视野！每周二晚8点我们不见不散！下期见喽！

There's just one problem: They're catching fire. A surge in house fires caused by solar panels and their batteries is sparking safety concerns over Ed Miliband's plan for millions more rooftop installations. UK fire services faced a blaze involving a solar panel once every two days in 2024, according to data gathered by insurance company QBE, marking a 60pc increase in the past two years. That's a lot of fires, presenting a deadly danger - and a 60 percent increase in two years is nothing short of alarming. There may be more to it than just the solar panels, but they are certainly a contributing factor:   Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1984594356154831267 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Confirms He Apologized to President Trump for Reagan Ad Effort   GYEONGJU, South Korea, Nov 1 (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Saturday he had apologised to U.S. President Donald Trump over an anti-tariff political advertisement and had told Ontario Premier Doug Ford not to run it. Carney, speaking to reporters after attending an Asia-Pacific summit in South Korea, said he had made the apology privately to Trump when they both attended a dinner hosted by South Korea's president on Wednesday. “I did apologise to the president,” Carney said, confirming comments by Trump made on Friday. Carney also confirmed that he had reviewed the ad with Ford before it aired but said he had opposed using it. “I told Ford I did not want to go forward with the ad,” he said. The ad, commissioned by Ford, an outspoken Conservative politician who is sometimes compared to Trump, uses a snippet of Republican icon and former President Ronald Reagan saying that tariffs cause trade wars and economic disaster.   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1984268764414631994   at +8.2%, Vermont at +7.0%, and Maryland at +7.0%.

Nuclear Testing and Proliferation Concerns Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski discusses President Trump's comments on resuming nuclear testing, suggesting Trump may favor a full yield test, last conducted in 1992, over current subcritical testing protocols. The United States maintains a formal moratorium on explosive nuclear testing. Sokolski also addresses proliferation risks associated with the United States potentially helping South Korea build nuclear-powered submarines and enabling South Korea to manufacture its own nuclear fuel. Such action would place Korea weeks away from building nuclear weapons, a development likely to provoke a strong response from Japan and destabilize the region. 1951 LAS VEGAS

In California, the $1.5 billion state capital refurbishment project was shrouded in secrecy, with granite quarried in California being sent to Italy for stonework to avoid high labor costs and state safety regulations. Additionally, a lawsuit alleges that LA Fire Department negligence in handling the initial Palisades fire led directly to the massive conflagration that destroyed the neighborhood. 915-930 Social Security Reform and Means Testing Guest: Veronique de Rugy Veronique de Rugy discusses the looming Social Security funding deadline around 2033, after which benefits face an automatic cut exceeding twenty percent if Congress fails to act decisively. She warns that perpetually borrowing to cover the shortfall represents the worst policy option, potentially leading to massive debt accumulation and inflation. De Rugy proposes means testing benefits as the fairest reform approach, arguing that Social Security currently transfers money from the relatively young and poor to the relatively old and wealthy, justifying progressive benefit reductions without raising taxes or disrupting the system for those most dependent on it. 930-945 Economic Indicators and AI in Business Guest: Gene Marks Gene Marks shared mixed economic indicators across the United States: slow activity in Las Vegas and struggling farm equipment manufacturers offset by busy utility distribution contractors benefiting from infrastructure spending programs. His main focus centered on artificial intelligence, advising businesses to integrate AI assistants like Grok or Claude to boost workplace productivity substantially. Marks cautioned that reliance on cloud infrastructure, highlighted by the recent AWS outage, combined with concerns about data privacy and security necessitate accepting calculated risks for potentially high rewards. 945-1000 Economic Indicators and AI in Business Guest: Gene Marks Gene Marks shared mixed economic indicators across the United States: slow activity in Las Vegas and struggling farm equipment manufacturers offset by busy utility distribution contractors benefiting from infrastructure spending programs.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Local Economies: Unexpected Closures and Steady Growth Guest: Jim McTague Jim McTague reports on unusual economic fault lines in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where a manufacturer and two restaurant chains closed due to slow business, though a major economic collapse is not imminent. Travel remained busy, and RV manufacturing appears undiminished despite economic headwinds. In Indiana, business was steady and resilient. McTague highlighted the entrepreneurial success of a Hobart, Indiana, family who transformed a one-hundred-acre apple farm into a major tourist attraction, generating significant revenue through simple, family-friendly activities and demonstrating creative economic adaptation. 1015-1030 Canadian National Unity and Alberta's Grievances Guest: Conrad Black Conrad Black reports on a debate between former Prime Ministers Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper regarding Canadian national unity, focusing on Alberta's profound discontent. Resource-rich Alberta feels unfairly treated and prevented from profiting from oil and gas development due to federal opposition to pipeline construction. Harper warned of serious national problems if the new government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, remains inflexible on energy policy. Black notes that while Canada's political institutions are durable, flexibility is required to maintain unity and coherence across diverse regions. 1030-1045 Executive Power and Constitutional Constraints Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes an executive order creating a five-hundred-person National Guard rapid response force per state for civil disturbances. He argues this improperly expands presidential power, usurping Congress's Article I authority over the militia. Epstein views this as an authoritarian extension of unitary executive theory that violates constitutional federalism. He also notes that pursuing alleged narco-terrorists in Venezuela without a Congressional Authorization for the Use of Military Force is legally tenuous, as drug running constitutes a crime rather than an act of war, making military action constitutionally questionable. 1045-1100 Executive Power and Constitutional Constraints Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes an executive order creating a five-hundred-person National Guard rapid response force per state for civil disturbances.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Augustine the African: Life, Conversion, and Conflict Guest: Professor Catherine Conybeare Professor Catherine Conybeare discusses Augustine the African, born in Tagaste in North Africa, who spoke Latin but was not fluent in Punic. Augustine moved to Milan, where his Christian mother, Monica, orchestrated an advantageous marriage, forcing him to cruelly separate from his partner of fourteen years and their son. After converting to Christianity and returning to Africa, he was forcibly ordained in Hippo. Augustine employed his rhetorical training, influenced by Cicero, to combat Donatism, a distinctively North African church movement that challenged orthodox Christian authority. 1115-1130 Augustine the African: Life, Conversion, and Conflict Guest: Professor Catherine Conybeare Professor Catherine Conybeare discusses Augustine the African, born in Tagaste in North Africa, who spoke Latin but was not fluent in Punic.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Nuclear Testing and Proliferation Concerns Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski discusses President Trump's comments on resuming nuclear testing, suggesting Trump may favor a full yield test, last conducted in 1992, over current subcritical testing protocols. The United States maintains a formal moratorium on explosive nuclear testing. Sokolski also addresses proliferation risks associated with the United States potentially helping South Korea build nuclear-powered submarines and enabling South Korea to manufacture its own nuclear fuel. Such action would place Korea weeks away from building nuclear weapons, a development likely to provoke a strong response from Japan and destabilize the region. 1215-1230 Nuclear Testing and Proliferation Concerns Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski discusses President Trump's comments on resuming nuclear testing, suggesting Trump may favor a full yield test, last conducted in 1992, over current subcritical testing protocols.

China and Blue Origin are deemed significantly behind in their lunar efforts. Zimmerman also covers other segments including A Space Mobile competing with Starlink, semiconductor manufacturing in space, the X59 project becoming obsolete due to private innovation, and accessible Martian ice at a potential Starship landing site. The convergence of private sector capabilities and reduced government constraints suggests a fundamental shift in space exploration dynamics. 1245-100 AM Space Race and Private Industry Guest: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman discusses how SpaceX's privately funded Starship program is positioned to beat NASA, China, and Russia in establishing a lunar base, operating independently of the struggling Artemis program.

President Donald Trump announced a trade truce with Chinese President Xi Jinping after a 90-minute meeting in Busan, South Korea, on Thursday. But what actually came out of the truce seems… less than meets the eye. According to Axios, Trump reduced tariffs against China in exchange for promises from the Chinese president to buy American soybeans and oil. However, the deal appears to be largely temporary, with few actual binding details that would make it any different from those made during Trump's first term in office or even earlier this year. So for more details on the trade truce and Trump's Asia trip, I spoke to Evan Madeiros. He's the Penner Family Chair in Asia studies at Georgetown University with a focus on East Asia and US-China relations.And in headlines, Immigration and Customs Enforcement refuses to cease operations during Halloween festivities in Chicago, the Trump administration restricts the amount of refugees it will allow into the US every year, and Trump administration officials held a classified briefing on the president's escalating boat-strike campaign – but only invited Republicans.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
