Podcasts about Implosion

Joseph Sternberg. Joseph Sternberg analyzes China's struggling economy, citing a real estate implosion, high youth unemployment, and demographic decline. Unlike Japan's historical democratic transition, Xi Jinping's adversarial posture and reliance on subsidized exports face global resistance, leaving the CCP with few ideological options for a virtuous recovery.

WarRoom Battleground EP 1047: WarRoom discusses Europe's centre-right implosion with centre-right's former parliamentary leader

On Tuesday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Democrats now look like they're stuck with the one candidate they absolutely did not want to nominate. Plus, WEC recommends criminal charges against Elon Musk and Dan dives into the Democratic Socialists of America's actual platform to show how they really do want to destroy America's government, economic system, and culture.

The Washington Roundtable digs into the stunning collapse of Graham Platner's Senate campaign in Maine, and what it means for the Democratic Party's performance in the upcoming midterms. The hosts are joined by Neera Tanden, the president and C.E.O. of the Center for American Progress and a former adviser to President Joe Biden. The panel grapples with the pressing question of how the Party might resolve some of its ideological divisions and position itself to attract voters looking for an alternative to Donald Trump. Across the board, Americans are seeking a break from the status quo, Tanden argues—regardless of where a given candidate falls on the political spectrum. “People want action,” she says. “It's not ideological as much as people are hungry for ideas.”  This week's reading: “Graham Platner's Point of No Return,” by Jon Allsop “Michigan Is the Next Big Test for the Democratic Party,” by Jason Zengerle “Trump and NATO Court Erdoğan, Turkey's Strongman,” by Ishaan Tharoor “How Political Is This Supreme Court?,” by Isaac Chotiner Tune in to The Political Scene wherever you get your podcasts.

What happens when the DNC pulls the plug on a popular veteran lobster farmer's Senate run?

The U.S. midterms are coming up this fall. They could flip control of the House and possibly the Senate. But both parties are dealing with difficult messes. Progressive Democratic candidate Graham Platner's Senate campaign in Maine imploded after allegations of sexual assault, which has laid bare a war in his party. Republican infighting ground Congress to a halt. And Senator Mitch McConnell has not been seen or heard by the public for weeks, following a hospitalization. Alex Shephard, senior editor of the New Republic, joins us to break down the state of each party heading into these consequential elections.

The campaign for Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for Senate from Maine, imploded this week after he was accused of rape. Lisa Lerer and Shane Goldmacher, national political correspondents for The New York Times, discuss the battle over who should replace him on the ballot and the identity crisis inside the Democratic Party. Guest: Lisa Lerer, a national political correspondent for The New York Times. Shane Goldmacher, a national political correspondent for The New York Times.

1. Allegations Against Graham Platner Sexual assault allegations. Claims of abusive behavior. Accusations of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, and extremist political beliefs. References to allegedly offensive past statements and conduct. 2. Criticism of Democratic Party Leaders Chuck Schumer Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren Tim Walz Ruben Gallego Sheldon Whitehouse 3. Comparison to Other Political Cases Platner situation is compared to: Joe Biden's presidency and concerns about age and competence. Eric Swalwell (as described by the hosts). Roy Moore, a Republican candidate whom Cruz says he ultimately refused to support due to allegations against him. 4. Political Opportunism Democratic leaders only abandoned Platner when they believed he would lose the election. They contend that electoral concerns—not ethics or principle—motivated the shift in support. 5. Broader Critique of the Democratic Party Platner controversy is a case study about Democratic politics. The situation to other political figures and controversies is obvious, arguing that party leaders prioritize retaining power over enforcing moral standards consistently Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Here we are again.  It's June, and the Yanks are swooning.  While not a surprise to me, apparently it is for Cashman and Boone somehow.4 straight games with only three hits should not be possible for the New York Yankees, yet here we are, staring at another brutal June swoon and asking the same questions we ask every year. We're watching a team that looked strong early flip into something familiar, and we're done pretending it's just “baseball ups and downs.” I walk through the sharp change in results from the pre-June record to a losing month, and why that kind of swing is a warning sign about a roster's true ceiling. From there, I dig into the root causes: injuries that expose a thin lineup, a contagious stretch of slumps, and an offense that can't buy a hit with runners in scoring position. I also talk about the ugly details that make this skid feel even worse, including defensive mistakes, unearned runs, and nights where fundamentals simply vanish. Then I go straight at the decisions that keep coming back around: the familiar public messaging, the slow willingness to adjust, and why the Boone and Cashman era continues to spark anger among fans who expect championships, not excuses. I close by looking ahead to the MLB trade deadline and the bigger timeline that matters most. Aaron Judge is not getting younger, Gerrit Cole is trying to find himself after Tommy John, and the window for this core does not stay open forever. If you've been feeling that mix of frustration and dread, you'll hear it reflected here, along with what we think has to change to put the Yankees on a real path back to a World Series.

In today's episode, we're talking about the hidden cost behind two of the biggest market stories right now: Bitcoin leverage and artificial intelligence. Strategy's preferred and common stocks are selling off, and people are asking whether Saylor's Bitcoin machine is actually breaking. Is this real structural risk, or is the market panicking over bad assumptions? At the same time, Apple is raising hardware prices because AI data centers are competing for the same chips, memory, and storage that go into consumer devices. So my question is: Are these just temporary stress points, or are investors starting to see the true cost of the two biggest trades in the market: Leveraged Bitcoin accumulation and the AI infrastructure boom?

Three years ago, OceanGate's Titan submersible imploded while on a journey to view the wreck of the Titanic, killing all five people on board. Christine Dawood's 48-year-old husband and 19-year-old son, Suleman and Shazhana Dawood, were among the people killed on the historic dive trip. Dawood has since shared her story of that week, and the subsequent grief following her losses, in a new memoir - 96 Hours. "Even though, obviously, we knew they are not here, that they were missing - sometimes, speaking out, the reality hits you and you don't want it to be true."

The backlash within the highest levels of national security is boiling over!

Nobody expected the second half of the cleric episode to begin with a discussion about wolves conducting hate crimes against coyotes, crows acting as aerial bounty hunters, and the lasting trauma of Game of Thrones season eight. Somehow this naturally transitioned into Pathfinder clerics, giant dragon towers, vampire bat transformations, and a godless revolutionary whose greatest enemy remains organized religion. In hindsight, this was probably the only possible outcome. Show Notes In the second half of our Pathfinder 2e Cleric build series, we advanced our morally questionable holy figures from level 11 all the way to 20. Before we even reached the introduction, however, we somehow found ourselves discussing wolf vendettas, crow conspiracies, Game of Thrones, British pronunciation crimes, and Pulp Fiction-inspired monologues. Naturally, this was exactly the kind of preparation required for high-level clerics. Randall returned with his godless anti-religious war priest, continuing his crusade to dismantle divine authority while simultaneously benefiting from divine magic. The contradictions only made the character stronger. Ash continued building a dragon-obsessed kobold servant of Dahak, leaning heavily into domains, summoning magic, and draconic heritage feats. Tyler doubled down on his undead survival machine, creating a cleric who would rather become increasingly horrifying than ever experience death again. As the builds progressed, the characters became increasingly absurd. Randall evolved into a social revolutionary capable of literally preaching atheism to enemies. Ash transformed into a majestic kobold empowered by dragons and armed with enough fire to solve nearly any problem. Tyler embraced his inner vampire, eventually turning into a bat, draining enemies, and becoming nearly impossible to kill. High-level spells stole much of the spotlight. Summoning dragons, collapsing enemies with Implosion, unleashing Massacre, and transforming into avatars of divine power all showcased just how spectacular Pathfinder's spellcasters become in the late game. Meanwhile, Randall's philosophy remained unchanged: peace is important, and anyone who disagrees can discuss it with the business end of a glaive. By the time we reached level 20, our collection of short kings had somehow become terrifying demigods. None of them were remotely good people, but they were certainly memorable clerics. Key Takeaways Levels 11 through 20 dramatically increase a cleric's power through doctrines, master spellcasting, and powerful class feats. High-rank divine spells provide some of the most cinematic effects in Pathfinder 2e. Harm-focused builds can become incredibly durable through self-healing and defensive feats. Domain spells continue to scale well into the highest levels of play. Heritage feats can dramatically shape a character's identity and capabilities. Avatar provides one of the most flavorful capstone spells available to divine casters. Additional 10th-rank spell slots are difficult to pass up at level 20. Warpriests gain survivability but still lag behind dedicated martial classes in weapon proficiency. Pathfinder 2e offers many ways to support unusual character concepts, including technically illegal godless clerics. Team Fun Size successfully evolved from weird clerics into full-blown nightmares for any GM. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

In Texas, State Attorney General Ken Paxton beat out Senator John Cornyn to race against Democrat James Talarico for the U.S. Senate seat. Paxton won President Trump's endorsement late in the game, just one week before this runoff. Cornyn had served in the Senate for 23 years, and said he would still support the Republican ticket after his loss. In the race to replace Ken Paxton's Attorney General position, Congressman Chip Roy lost to State Representative Mayes Middleton. On the Democrat side, Congressman Al Green was ousted by Representative Christian Menefee.A massive chemical tank collapsed Tuesday morning at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging paper mill in Longview, Washington. Officials say the tank contained nearly 900,000 gallons of a corrosive chemical mixture known as white liquor. The fire department says the collapse killed at least one worker and injured nine others. Emergency crews say recovery efforts were suspended overnight because the damaged tank remains unstable. Investigators say it remains unclear what caused the tank to implode. Recovery crews are expected to return today once the damaged structure can be safely stabilized.China, Mexico, and Canada were all part of a broader discussion on Tuesday, as U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer outlined the administration's global economic trade strategy. He defended the administration's focus on goods and manufacturing, even as the U.S. remains a services-heavy economy. He argued manufacturing is critical because it anchors communities, supports national security, strengthens supply chains, and creates upward mobility.

Jonathan Howard and Wendy Orent call this week their "Red Wedding": within days, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary resigned, Vinay Prasad was pushed out of CBER, Tracy Beth Hoeg was fired, and Senator Bill Cassidy lost his Louisiana primary. The hosts argue this is not a tragedy but a long-foretold collapse — a group of physicians who built careers as COVID-era contrarian podcasters discovering that running a regulatory agency is fundamentally different from posting about one. Howard works through the wreckage: Makary's reported approval of flavored nicotine products days before his ouster, the FDA's treatment of the rare disease community, the leaked memo claiming pediatric COVID vaccine deaths that career staff refused to sign off on, and the broader pattern of "regulatory whiplash" that drove the agency into dysfunction. The episode then turns to who is still standing — Jay Bhattacharya at NIH, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at HHS — and what Kennedy is reportedly doing to vaccines from behind the scenes via Martin Kulldorff's review effort. Throughout, the hosts return to a single thesis: the skills that made Makary, Prasad, Hoeg, and Cassidy famous during COVID — opinion, tweeting, posturing — do not translate into running institutions, and the medical commentators who vouched for them (John Mandrola, Adam Cifu) have lost any remaining credibility. Key Topics Discussed Bill Cassidy's primary loss and the cost of the Kennedy confirmation vote Cassidy's earlier vote to convict Trump after January 6 followed by his decisive vote advancing RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary. Howard and Orent's view that Cassidy's promise to "keep Kennedy in line" was hollow from the start. What Cassidy's defeat signals about Trump's grip on the Republican base in Louisiana — and the hosts' read that his lame-duck status may give him cover to block the next round of HHS nominees. Marty Makary's resignation and the "worst FDA Commissioner in 25 years" framing The Stat News piece characterizing Makary's tenure, and the reporting that flavored nicotine was the precipitating issue with Trump's tobacco-industry donors. Howard's counterpoint: Makary reportedly approved a batch of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) on May 5, 2026 — the weekend before he resigned — undercutting the "principled stand" narrative. The pattern of selfie videos, public-facing performance, and what former FDA staff describe as hostile management of career scientists. Makary's pre-FDA record: the "medical error is the third leading cause of death" claim, Omicron as "nature's vaccine," "Omicold," herd immunity calls in May 2021, and the Nazi-bioweapon Lyme disease theory amplification. Vinay Prasad, regulatory whiplash, and the rare disease community How Prasad's stated preference for randomized controlled trials translated into rejection of rare disease therapies — and the disconnect between calling for RCTs on Twitter and the practical impossibility of running them for small patient populations. Right-to-try advocates, the libertarian wing of MAHA (Senator Ron Johnson), and why they turned on Prasad. Howard's point: Pfizer's halted COVID vaccine RCT in 50–65-year-olds is the case study — the trials Prasad demanded couldn't actually be enrolled. Tracy Beth Hoeg, the leaked pediatric deaths memo, and the Maryanne Demasi interview Hoeg's insistence she was fired, not resigned, and her interview with Brownstone Institute–adjacent journalist Maryanne Demasi. Her claim that the chaos at the FDA was "created by the media" rather than real. The memo alleging 10 pediatric deaths from the COVID vaccine that career FDA staff would not sign off on — and Howard's contrast with the J&J/thrombosis response, where nine deaths produced immediate, transparent action. Hoeg's role in the Denmark-style vaccine schedule rollback memo alongside Makary. The Makary–Prasad ZDoggMD clip on FDA "vindictiveness" — and the irony Audio pulled from a pre-appointment Prasad/Makary appearance describing the FDA as "erratic," "capricious," and politically pressured. Howard's read: every criticism they leveled at the Biden-era FDA describes their own tenure — political pressure from Trump, demoted career staff, inconsistent standards. The Peter Marks / Marion Gruber / Phil Krause booster episode reframed in light of what followed. John Mandrola, Adam Cifu, and the cost of vouching Mandrola's "Can We Give the New FDA's Leadership a Chance?" piece a year earlier — and the line about Prasad and Makary inducing companies to run proper RCTs, set against Pfizer's halted trial. Howard's account of an email exchange with Cifu following Cifu's visit to NYU — Howard's offer of a serious content-level conversation, and Cifu's decline. The broader "medical conservatives" project and what the hosts argue has happened to its credibility. Jay Bhattacharya, NIH, and the resignation letter from departing staff The letter from a senior NIH scientist on Bhattacharya's leadership — political termination of grants, deals institutions are making to recover funding, and Bhattacharya's silence. Howard and Orent's read on Bhattacharya's visible deterioration and his retreat into Great Barrington nostalgia. Kennedy's behind-the-scenes vaccine review and Martin Kulldorff The New York Times reporting (Christina Jewett and Sheryl Gay Stolberg) on Kennedy's vaccine inquiry being led by Kulldorff. Howard's pushback on the framing of Kulldorff as merely "a critic of restrictions and mandates" — and the 2020 record of his herd-immunity-through-infection advocacy, including his Stockholm "almost at herd immunity" claim in April 2020. The hosts' concern that the COVID amnesia project lets pandemic-era pro-infection figures re-enter regulatory power with their record sanitized. Casey Means, Surgeon General nomination withdrawal, and MAHA fracturing The withdrawn Surgeon General nomination and what it signals. The Robert Malone vs. Makary public falling-out over the unreleased pediatric deaths data. Why the MAHA coalition — held together by shared COVID grievance — is coming apart now that COVID has receded from headlines. Notable Moments On Cassidy: "He betrayed his oath as a physician, he betrayed the American people, and he's going down into the ignominious dust." — Wendy Orent On the Makary–Prasad–Hoeg trio: "The same skill sets that catapulted these guys to power — essentially being excellent podcasters — do not translate into leading a government agency of tens of thousands of employees that regulates 20 percent of the US economy." — Jonathan Howard On the legacy: "These guys are now cautionary tales for medical students. I would love to teach a course called 'Be the Opposite of Bill Cassidy, Marty Makary, Vinay Prasad, and Tracy Beth Hoeg.'" — Jonathan Howard On Bhattacharya: "His soul has been totally corrupted by the people who he teamed up with. You also see it in his face. He's not the same person that took the position." — Jonathan Howard References Mentioned in the Episode Stat News — "Why Marty Makary Was the Worst FDA Commissioner in 25 Years" Vinay Prasad's 2016 Stat News rebuttal of Makary's "medical error" claim David Gorski (Science-Based Medicine, 2016) — rebuttal of the medical-error-as-third-leading-cause-of-death claim Jonathan Howard, Science-Based Medicine — recent piece compiling Makary's COVID-era statements New York Times — Christina Jewett and Sheryl Gay Stolberg on Kennedy's vaccine inquiry Washington Post — "Ouster of RFK's Allies Tests MAHA-Trump Alliance" Ben Mazer, The Atlantic — on whether Makary and Prasad enacted lasting change Francis Lee — In COVID's Wake Alfred Crosby — America's Forgotten Pandemic Maryanne Demasi interview with Tracy Beth Hoeg MedPage Today — Makary and Prasad, "The Importance of Humility in Medicine" People Referenced Marty Makary — outgoing FDA Commissioner Vinay Prasad — former CBER Director Tracy Beth Hoeg — fired FDA official Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) — lost primary Robert F.
