As we rapidly approach another enormous milestone — our 100th episode (currently #98) we've e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d our global footprint to 131 countries.ONLY through your unyielding support could this achievement have been realized. Thank you!Immigration is a “3rd rail” hot topic in the U.S. The issues of immigration decided the '24 presidential election.  At his core, whether you like to hear it or not, Donald Trump is a xenophobic segregationist that truly makes the former four-time Governor of Alabama, George Wallace, appear to be benign, benevolent and innocent like a choir boy.On this explosive episode, we'll investigate:—  Trump's hatred towards immigrants in a country full of immigrants.—  The GEO Group (a private prison firm that has received significant negative press regarding its operations and alleged shady business practices) and the Trump administration; and—  The Trump administration's stance on immigration, which has been widely criticized for its negative impacts on children of immigrant parents, including documented, undocumented, and US-citizen children.Here's how these policies have reportedly caused harm:Increased Fear and Anxiety:—  Family Separation: The "zero-tolerance" policy, in particular, involved separating thousands of children from their parents at the border, a practice widely condemned for its traumatic effects. This policy has led to long-term harm, with many children still not reunited with their parents years later.—  Fear of Deportation: The threat of deportation and increased immigration enforcement created pervasive fear and distress among children and their families, regardless of legal status. This fear led to children worrying about separation from parents and potentially having to leave their communities.—  Toxic Stress: Exposure to this chronic fear and uncertainty has helped to cause "toxic stress" in young children, potentially altering brain development and negatively influencing their physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. This can have lifelong consequences, impacting their ability to cope with adversity and achieve future success.—  As well as bans and bars to badly needed health care services, means of preventing food insecurity and essential care and support.In the U.S. the “corporation” has always been “king” – where large corporations and big financial donors hold significant influence and power to shape government policies and societal structures. The Trump administration is notorious for pampering its “friends” and attempting to punish its enemies and those who would dare to hold him and the administration accountable.Republicans, including Trump, initially criticized the use of the CBP One app, particularly as it was used under the Biden administration, to facilitate asylum appointments at the border. They argued that the app enabled unauthorized immigration and was an abuse of parole.  Now, they swear by it and have embraced and rebranded its core functionalities into CBP Home, focusing on incentivizing voluntary departure as a tool for immigration enforcement.A 360◦, hypocritical move that only MAGA Republicans have perfected.As we celebrate Independence Day (2025) we now have a king.  The Supreme Court has paved the way for this, by a string of decisions that subvert the judiciary, undermining the integrity, independence, and effectiveness of the court system.  Its actions have directly challenged the judiciary's ability to operate impartially and fairly, potentially leading to a complete breakdown of the rule of law.Tune in for all of the explosive details.Without fear or favor we follow the facts and tackle the topics that touch your lives.Follow our sponsors:  Newsly & Feedspot.We want to hear from you!

In this episode of Hashtag Trending on the weekend, host Jim Love discusses the devastating impacts of organized crime scams, often referred to as 'pig butchering.'

The discussion covers the complexities of negotiating in the Middle East, the challenges of verifying nuclear capabilities, and the impact of false intelligence on the Iraq War. Rockwood emphasizes the importance of diplomacy in addressing nuclear threats and the need for a collective approach to global stability. The conversation also touches on the moral implications of military actions against nuclear facilities and the role of leadership in shaping public sentiment and international relations.TakeawaysLaura Rockwood has over 40 years of experience in nuclear nonproliferation.Negotiating in the Middle East can be challenging, but gender does not hinder respect.The IAEA's role is to verify, not prevent, nuclear weapons development.False intelligence significantly impacted the justification for the Iraq War.Iran's nuclear program is complex and requires careful monitoring.Diplomacy is essential for resolving nuclear tensions and conflicts.Military actions against nuclear facilities raise moral and legal questions.The Non-Proliferation Treaty aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.Public sentiment can be influenced by leadership decisions and actions.Addressing root causes of instability is crucial for global peace.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Setup01:06 The Aftermath of the Iraq War and Intelligence Failures02:29 Navigating Nuclear Inspections in Iraq04:56 The IAEA's Role and False Intelligence06:28 Technical Challenges and Communication Issues06:46 Revisiting Iraq: Inspections and Cooperation08:29 The U.S. Justification for War10:29 The Impact of Forgeries on Intelligence12:06 Understanding Enrichment and Transportation12:41 Historical Context of Iran's Nuclear Ambitions14:29 The Role of the JCPOA in Iran's Nuclear Strategy16:39 Diplomatic Solutions and Future Negotiations18:24 The Morality of Military Action20:33 The Global Nuclear Landscape22:20 The Influence of Domestic Politics on Foreign Policy24:20 The Threat of Non-State Actors26:31 The Future of Nuclear Proliferation28:22 The Role of the NPT and Global Governance30:23 The Impact of U.S. Foreign Policy on Global Stability32:38 The Complexity of International Relations34:28 The Role of Leadership in Nuclear Decisions36:18 The Importance of Diplomacy38:28 The Human Cost of War40:24 The Technical Aspects of Nuclear Weapons42:25 The Future of U.S.-Iran Relations44:22 The Role of Public Perception in Policy46:19 The Intersection of Politics and Nuclear Strategy48:11 The Human Element in Nuclear Proliferation50:16 The Legacy of Nuclear Weapons52:29 The Future of Global Security54:11 The Path Forward for Nuclear Non-ProliferationSound Bites"I have never felt disrespected by...""We reported that to the Security Council...""Iraq never reached that stage."

”The Human Cost Of Efficiency” Join me and my guests Dan Parry, Head of Communications at London based Working Voices and Nick Smallman, Founder and CEO at Working Voices (workingvoices.com) as we discuss their new book Engaging Teams. Work environments that largely stress efficiency while devaluing employee wellbeing are contributing to an epidemic of worker disengagement. Businesses that hope to survive disruption and retain a skilled workforce must recognize that their survival depends upon employee wellbeing. The worldwide cost of employee disengagement in terms of lost productivity has reached $8.9 trillion a year — equal to 9 percent of global GDP. SPONSORED BY POWER OF YOU™ . Find out more at https://leader.blainebartlett.com/power-of-you Summary In this conversation, Blaine, Dan Parry, and Nick Smallman explore the concept of the 'soul of business' and its implications for employee engagement and organizational culture. They discuss the persistent issue of worker disengagement, the impact of efficiency-driven practices on employee morale, and the importance of social wellbeing in fostering a thriving workplace. The discussion highlights the need for leaders to adopt a more human-centric approach to business, especially in the wake of challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. They discuss the critical importance of psychological safety, employee autonomy, and the impact of AI on the workplace. They explore the causes of burnout and the need for future skills in a rapidly changing work environment. The discussion emphasizes the role of culture in fostering social well-being and the strategic importance of HR in enhancing employee engagement and retention. Takeaways The soul of business evokes emotional engagement. Employee disengagement has not improved in 25 years. COVID revealed long-standing disengagement issues. Efficiency can lead to employee resentment. Survivor syndrome affects those who remain after layoffs. Human consequences of efficiency are often overlooked. Leaders must focus on social wellbeing. Creating a less human workplace is unhealthy. The best workable solution is not always the most efficient. Engaging teams is crucial for performance and culture. Suppressing natural human rebellions is counterproductive. Psychological safety is essential for creativity and innovation. Employee autonomy leads to greater engagement and satisfaction. AI will significantly change workplace dynamics in the coming years. Burnout often stems from disconnection from meaningful work. Future skills include critical thinking and emotional intelligence. Social well-being is crucial for a healthy workplace culture. Trust and respect are foundational to employee engagement. HR should act as a strategic partner in fostering workplace culture. Leadership must focus on guiding teams through change. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Scientists warn that the world could breach its 1.5°C emissions limit within just 2-3 years. It's a scary thought, but across the globe, many are grappling with an even more immediate and visceral reality: the climate crisis is already a health crisis.From deadly heatwaves to worsening air pollution and climate-related trauma, the health impacts of climate change are escalating. In this episode, Christiana Figueres and Paul Dickinson explore how growing awareness of these challenges is beginning to reframe the conversation, and ask whether this could be the narrative that finally drives faster, more inclusive climate action.Christiana is joined by former Australian Prime Minister and Chair of the Wellcome Trust, Julia Gillard, who makes the case for why health must become central to climate communication - and why we should be talking about “lives lost”, rather than simply degrees gained.Meanwhile, Tom Rivett-Carnac drops in from the launch of London Climate Action Week 2025, where health is rapidly emerging as a defining lens.

We dive deep into the seductive promise and hidden costs of AI technology and the question that haunts every creative: what are we trading away for convenience? Through our exploration, we examine how tools shape not just what we make, but who we become in the process.We also wrestle with the tension between efficiency and authenticity, discussing everything from DV tape workflows to AI-generated content and the race to the bottom that threatens meaningful creation. This conversation challenges us to consider whether the magic intelligence in the cloud will free us to focus on what matters most, or whether we're surrendering the very friction and deliberateness that gives our work its soul. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Catch up on Jack Herrera's recent articles on ICE deportations:Could You Prove You're a Citizen? For Americans wrongfully detained by ICE, it can be nearly impossible to escape.  (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-ice-detained-citizenship-proof.html)Trump's De-legalization Campaign (https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/trumps-de-legalization-campaign)For One Texas County, Arresting Migrants Made Big Money (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/us/migrants-border-bail-forfeit-kinney-county-texas.html)-Chuck Rocha welcomes acclaimed reporter, Jack Herrera (Texas Monthly, Political Magazine) for an in-depth conversation about the state of immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. Jack shares how he went from covering the 2018 migrant caravans in Tijuana to exposing the end of the CHNV parole program—half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans who did everything “the right way” now rendered deportable overnight.Together they unpack:CHNV Parole Termination: How Trump's decision to cut short two-year legal status forced CBP fingerprints into fast-track deportations of fully vetted migrants.ICE Out of Control: The alarming rise in U.S. citizens, including Congressional candidates and everyday families, being detained by ICE, the National Guard and U.S. Marshals—even without warrants.Personal Roots: Jack's own family story—from 12th-generation Texans to NASA chemists—illustrates the enduring contributions of Latino communities.Looking Ahead: What these enforcement tactics mean for Latino voters, the 2025 midterms and the future of U.S. immigration policy.Plus: Jack's off-duty passions—backpacking Colorado's San Juans, finding wild brown trout, and what hiking teaches him about America's greatest resource: its people.

Send us a textIf you've ever wondered what toll building a business takes on you as a human being, this eye-opening conversation with serial entrepreneur Elliot Kallen will hit home. After founding and selling multiple successful companies, including financial firms that managed over a billion dollars in assets, Elliot doesn't sugarcoat the profound personal impact of the entrepreneurial journey."You cannot be a great CEO right now and be a great parent and a husband at this very minute," Elliot reveals, challenging the harmful "you can have it all" narrative that sets founders up for failure. He breaks down the entrepreneurial journey into three distinct phases—startup hustle, growth momentum, and mature decision-making—each bringing unique challenges to personal relationships and wellbeing.The conversation dives deep into the physical toll of founder life, from unhealthy eating habits to sleep deprivation, and explores how these patterns can lead to serious health consequences. As Elliot candidly shares, "having a heart attack at 52 is not a good example." His hard-earned wisdom includes practical advice about understanding your cash flow, knowing your strengths, and the importance of hiring for your weaknesses rather than trying to fix them yourself.Perhaps most powerful is Elliot's journey through personal tragedy. After losing his son to suicide, he channeled his entrepreneurial energy into creating A Brighter Day, a foundation providing mental health resources for teens and their families. This transformation of grief into purpose demonstrates how the skills we develop as entrepreneurs can create meaningful impact beyond business success.Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial journey or leading an established company, this conversation offers invaluable perspective on maintaining your humanity while building something extraordinary.

E-commerce sites like Temu and Shein might not be quite as cheap as they were a week ago now that tariffs are kicking in on even small-dollar imports. But these platforms known for selling low-cost goods from China have also sought to cut costs on delivery.They contract in the U.S. with companies like UniUni, which promises to dispatch packages for $3 or less — well below the industry standard. How UniUni delivers on those low rates is the subject of a recent investigation by reporter Theo Wayt at The Information. He tells Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino that drivers are hired through a network of subcontractors and UniUni pays them per item rather than an hourly wage.

Every organization lives by the tick‑tock of two very different clocks. One chimes for high‑stakes combat—markets shift, cash burns, competitors flank, and you need a battlefield general with nerves of graphene. The other hums softly during seasons of scale—culture building, process refinement, margin polishing—where a master gardener coaxes growth instead of charging hills.In this episode of The E1B2 Collective Podcast, we slice through the platitudes and timestamp the moments that matter:Dawn Patrol vs. Dusk Patrol – How to read leading indicators (burn rate, churn spikes, regulatory headwinds) that signal it's time to swap diplomacy for trench warfare—or vice versa.The 90‑Day Switchboard – A pragmatic framework for CEOs and boards to audit leadership fit every quarter, so you're never caught with a peacekeeper holding a bayonet or a field marshal pruning roses.Temperament & Toolkit – We map the mindsets, decision cadences, and communication styles that separate wartime titans from peacetime architects—and why forcing one to play the other is a morale grenade.The Human Cost of Mistiming – Case‑study flashbacks where staying too long in either mode gutted culture, torched innovation, or vaporized cash (names masked to protect the guilty).Bridge Commanders – Strategies for grooming “switch‑hitters” who can storm the beach at dawn and host the peace summit by dusk—plus why they're rarer than unicorns riding comets.Expect blunt truths, clever quips, and just enough lyrical swagger to keep your earbuds smiling. Whether you're staring down a market blitz or basking in steady‑state profitability, tune in to master the art—and timing—of putting the right leader in the right seat before the bell tolls.

Shetland, Scotland native and independent journalist Jen Stout was in Russia in late February 2022 when the war with Ukraine broke out and quickly left for a border post in southern Romania to cover the great flood of refugees who were fleeing the fighting. Weeks later she entered Ukraine to report first-hand from the front lines and cities across the country. A writer with a great sense of empathy, Jen's main interest was not military strategy or international politics, but the Ukrainian people – their indomitable spirit, their poetic sensibilities  their hopes and fears. Her perspective is from the ground and her stories are filed from night trains, birthday parties, military hospitals and bunkers.

On October 28, 2015, Jeanne Carstensen was reporting as a foreign correspondent covering the Syrian refugee crisis in Europe when she witnessed a devastating boat accident. After nearly a decade of research and investigation, Carstensen recounts the events of that day, with firsthand accounts from not only the desperate refugees, but also the heroic islanders who did their best to help.  Of her book A Greek Tragedy: One Day, A Deadly Shipwreck, and the Human Cost of the Refugee Crisis, she says, “I wrote this book because I believe we need to pay attention to the human impacts of our migration policies. Increasingly, we are militarizing boarders, building more fences, and criminalizing those who try to help. I hope A Greek Tragedy will serve to wake us up; my hope is that we will not turn away.” Organizer: Frank Price   An International Relations Member-led Forum program.

Our collective human psyche has for a long time been impacted by the happenings of the world, from politics to war and the economy. In this week's episode, Niall sits down to talk about just how much suffering we have witnessed in society and how that can leave us feeling helpless. Speaking about the work of Thich Nhat Hanh, whose work on non-violence came from the front lines of the Vietnam war, Niall explores the fear and power driving the chaos and the deep spiritual crisis it is causing in society. He shares how Thich Nhat Hanh's work can be used as a beacon of hope in these difficult times and how our personal choice to nourish life, and not destroy it, can help us feel empowered as a collective again. Niall also leads us in a Metta meditation to send peace during global turmoil.

He also discusses legislation that has caught the most attention and concern, including measures that would change how the state school superintendent is selected, online sports betting and a measure that aims to remove anything related to diversity, equity, and inclusion from schools and colleges. Then, Rebecca Serna, the executive director of Propel ATL, and crash victim Satya Bhan, discuss the findings of the new PROPEL ATL report, “The Human Cost of Mobility." According to the report, 344 people died across three metro Atlanta counties due to traffic crashes in 2023.

Plus, Rose reads a remembrance tribute for jazz legend Roy Ayers. He died on Tuesday. He was 84. Lastly, March 7 marks a turning point in the fight for civil rights in the United States. Sixty years ago, the then 25-year-old John Lewis and fellow civil rights activist Hosea Williams, planned to lead hundreds in a peaceful march for voting rights from Selma, Ala. to the state capitol in Montgomery, Ala. As the protestors approached the Edmund Pettus Bridge, they were met with violence at the hands of state troopers.

Host Noam Weissman reflects on one of the most devastating periods since October 7, 2023-- the past week, which brought us the deaths of Oded Lifshitz and 3/4 of the Bibas family. From the abduction of Yarden, Shiri, and their young sons Ariel and Kfir at Kibbutz Nir Oz to the deceptive handling of their remains, the brutal murders have left an indelible scar on Israel. The episode draws parallels with iconic historical images like Anne Frank and Napalm Girl and honors the legacy of peace activist Oded Lifshitz, whose life work exemplified hope amid violence. Join us as we reflect on these harrowing events, expose media manipulation, and call for a future where human dignity prevails over terror. IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari's televised statement.

Tourists are flooding to Cambodia's "8th wonder of the world," the ancient temple complex at Angkor. But the rapid expansion of the site comes at a terrible cost, as tens of thousands of people are ousted. The authorities call some "illegal squatters" and claim others volunteered to leave. But human rights groups say the evictions are forced, illegal and target families who've worked the land for generations. Many say they're now debt-ridden and struggling to survive. Jill McGivering travelled to Angkor to meet those at the heart of the crisis.

“People in the animal welfare world, I think, should broaden their purview to the human parts of it and sort of work in coalition. Like if you can really expose the labor conditions, you're weakening the industry, and if you can increase labor regulations, if you can make it to where workers don't routinely get repetitive stress injuries and they're not breathing in harsh chemicals, and if you slow the kill line down, that hits their profits and you are weakening the industry. And, also remember, this industry doesn't just slaughter billions of animals a year, it also makes life hell for the people who work in it. Expand your level of solidarity to those people.” – Tom Philpott     This is the third episode in a special for part series, where we go deep into the food system with some of the brightest minds at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future. In this episode, we dive into one of the many hidden and hideous aspects of our food system: the exploitation of workers in industrial meat production. Tom Philpott is a senior research associate at the Center. He joined in 2022 after a distinguished three-decade career in journalism, reporting on the injustices and ecological ramifications of the industrial food system. He is the author of the critically acclaimed book, Perilous Bounty. I asked Tom to shed some light on the grueling conditions faced by meatpacking workers, from dangerous line spades to repetitive injuries and the shocking lack of basic protections, and even though much of this was exposed during the covid 19 pandemic, to explain how it's all still happening. Tom also hosts the Center for a Livable Future's podcast, it's called Unconfined. It's really good. Take a listen to learn a whole lot more about the impacts of food animal production.   Links Center for a Livable Future: https://clf.jhsph.edu/ Tom Philpott: https://www.tomphilpott.net/ Perilous Bounty: https://bookshop.org/p/books/perilous-bounty-the-looming-collapse-of-american-farming-and-how-we-can-prevent-it-tom-philpott/8555300?ean=9781635578454&gclid=Cj0KCQjw48OaBhDWARIsAMd966DtJTjYQl6nh5J9Gk9ib9f3SXgKnCfTwujd-YMhRK-UC1X-ihdAiyIaAsm3EALw_wcB Unconfined Podcast: https://clf.jhsph.edu/unconfined-podcast
