Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down JB Pritzker's sharp warning to Trump over invoking the Insurrection Act and Obama joining the “imagine if Obama did it” chorus. They analyze Trump's explosive comments comparing U.S. cities like Chicago and Portland to Egypt, Tish James's latest legal moves, and Eric Trump's wild claim that Jack Smith planted classified folders at Mar-a-Lago. Kander and Gupta also dive into the stunning New York Times report on the forced resignation of a U.S. attorney in Virginia who refused to pursue flimsy charges tied to Trump's demands for a Russia-related investigation. Plus, they discuss Trump's hot-mic moment with Indonesia's president, Janet Mills's surprising Senate run in Maine, the leaked racist Young Republicans chat, and how America's growing literacy crisis fits into the broader political decay.

Tommy & Ben break down the deal between Israel and Hamas–how we got here, who deserves credit (and who doesn't), why the hell it took so long, and then dig into the many questions still to be resolved: Will Hamas disarm? How will Gaza be run? And who might make up the proposed “International Stabilisation Force”? They also talk about Trump's victory lap in Israel and Egypt (including a quick pit stop for some corruption with Indonesia's president), the pervasive media narrative that Israel's “victory” over Iran led to this deal, Benjamin Netanyahu's political future, Drop Site News's rebuttal to the Free Press's vile “reporting” on starving Palestinian children with preexisting conditions, and whether Trump's peacemaking is contagious and could spread to Ukraine. Also covered: how the US's bailout of Argentina will benefit hedge funders in Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's circle, French President Emmanuel Macron's surprising replacement for his short-lived Prime Minister, and why the recipient of this year's Nobel Peace Prize is dedicating it to Donald Trump. Then, Ben goes deep on the shadow fleet with Michelle Wiese Bockmann, senior maritime intelligence analyst at Windward.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Our Chief Asia Economist Chetan Ahya discusses how youth unemployment will impact future growth and stability across China, India, and Indonesia.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Chetan Ahya, Morgan Stanley's Chief Asia Economist. Today – Asia's young workforce is facing a significant challenge. How a soft labor market will shape everything from consumer demand to social stability and long-term growth. It's Tuesday, October 14th, at 2pm in Hong Kong. Across Asia, a concerning trend is emerging. The region's younger generations face mounting challenges in the job market. Asia's youth unemployment averages 16 percent, which is much higher than the U.S. rate of 10.5 percent. Youth unemployment rates are running two to three times higher than headline unemployment rates. The underlying situation is even weaker than what is represented by [the] unemployment rate. And within Asia, the challenge is most acute in China, India, and Indonesia, the three most populous economies. Youth unemployment rates for these three economies are running close to double, as compared to other economies in Asia. Now let's take a closer look at China. The urban youth unemployment rate, i.e. for 16–24-year-olds, has steadily increased since 2019. What's driving this rise in unemployment? A mismatch in labor demand and supply. The number of university graduates surged 40 percent over the last five years to close to 12 million. But economy-wide employment has declined by 20 million over the same period. Entry-level wages are sluggish, and automation plus subdued services growth mean fewer opportunities for newer entrants. Turning to India, their unemployment rate is the highest in the region at 17.6 percent. Employment creation has been subdued. And on top of it, India also faces another issue: underemployment. Post-COVID, primary sector – i.e. farming and mining – employment rose by 50 million, reaching a 17-year high. Note that these jobs are relatively low productivity jobs. And this is explained by the fact that [the] primary sector now accounts for less than 20 percent of GDP but it employs about 40 percent of the workforce. That's a sign of COVID-induced underemployment. How fast must growth be to tackle the unemployment challenge? In our base case, India's GDP will grow at an average of 6.5 percent over the coming decade – and this will mean that India will be one of the fastest-growing economies globally. But this pace of growth will not be sufficient to generate enough jobs. To keep [the] unemployment rate stable, India needs an average GDP growth of close to 7.5 percent; and to address underemployment, the required run rate in GDP growth must be even higher at 12 percent. Shifting to Indonesia, its youth unemployment rate is the second highest in the region. Moreover, close to 60 percent of jobs are in the informal sector. And many of these jobs pay below minimum wage. Similar to India, both these trends signal underemployment. The key reason behind this challenge is weak investment growth. Indonesia's investment-to-GDP ratio has dropped meaningfully over the last five years. So, what's the way forward? For China, shifting towards consumption and services could reduce labor market mismatches. And for India and Indonesia, boosting investment is key. India in particular needs much stronger growth in its industrial and exports sectors. If reforms fall short, policy makers may need to fall back on increasing social welfare spending to manage social stability risks. Thanks for listening.

At the beginning of September 2025, within 48 hours, Nepal's government had been toppled, and more than 70 people had been killed, with many more injured. The trigger for all of this had been a government ban on 26 social media platforms, but the primary reasons ran much deeper. Nepal became a republic in 2008, following a decade long civil war, but since then, the promised stability and prosperity have failed to materialise. The country has been subjected to short term coalition governments, resembling a game of musical chairs between certain political parties. And it was Nepal's Gen Z, who decided to make their frustrations over the lack of opportunities, the social inequality and the existing political system known, with their digitally driven anti-corruption protests. In the aftermath, the protestors gave their approval to a new interim prime minister and demanded new elections, set for March next year.Asia is increasingly witnessing a mood for change amongst its young people, from Indonesia to Sri Lanka and last year's student-led revolution in Bangladesh. But very few protests of this nature have translated into fundamental social change. And it remains to be seen if the decision by Nepal's Gen Z, to place their trust in 73-year-old Sushila Karki as the new Interim Prime Minister, reflects their own political maturity. So, on this week's Inquiry we're asking, ‘Can Gen Z shape a new Nepal?'Contributors: Prof Jeevan Sharma, Chair of South Asia and International Development, University of Edinburgh, UK Pranaya Rana, Journalist and Writer, Kalam Weekly, Kathmandu, Nepal Prof Sreeradha Datta, International Affairs, O.P.

Indonesia's president has now been in power for a year but having won the election on policies to support the lower classes, the economy is struggling. That struggle led to violent protests across the country making global headlines. We speak to businesses, young people and families about the changes they've seen in the past year and discuss whether the new government can fulfil their economic pledges.

Jim and Rich review MotoGP Round 17 from Mandalika in Indonesia. After a season of relatively trouble-free speed and consistency, Marc Marquez was hit by trouble in the form of Marco Bezzecchi. It was something of a crash and injury strewn weekend with several riders missing. Through it all came Fermin Aldeguer, demonstrating why Ducati put so much faith into signing the now 20 year old. Elsewhere, Moto3 was boiling up to a big finish before the red flags came out for David Muñoz following a nasty collision with Adrián Fernández; The M3 race saw a deserving José Antonio Rueda clinch the title. Moto2 was a rather steadier affair, with the main drama coming post-race after a technical infringement disqualification for Manuel González, leaving his title position in the balance with Diogo Moreira. As ever, Jim and Rich cover the news and listener feedback. Thanks to Gareth Lock for his feedback and thanks also to Michael Leete for keeping former show host Jim Race in our collective thoughts.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1909 DR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE LA FIRE RESTORATION...... 10-10-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 Palisades Fire Aftermath and In-N-Out Expansion GUEST NAME: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss discusses the aftermath of the Palisades fire, noting that Adam Carolla, who lost his home, believes rebuilding is stalled by political forces seeking subsidized housing or natural restoration. An arrest was made in Florida for Jonathan Flendernik in connection with the fire. Video evidence suggests the LA Fire Department failed to fully extinguish the initial fire, which spread through root systems. In business news, the family-owned In-N-Out chain, known for high profits and employee treatment, is expanding with five new stores. The Boring Company's Prufrock tunneling machine is operating in Las Vegas. 915-930 Mixed Economic Signals and High-Tech Development in Lancaster County GUEST NAME: Jim McTague Jim McTague reports on Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which is introducing high-tech industry by building two data centers on the former RR Donnelley printing plant site. Construction is underway on the L-shaped, two-story building. Anecdotally, the local economy shows mixed signals: two young people were seen signing up for the National Guard, suggesting tight employment, while an entrepreneur boasted of successful property investments. Consumers are cautious, engaging in "inflation shopping." 930-945 The Perpetual Conflict Over Executive Power and the Rise of Lawfare GUEST NAME: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes the perpetual clash between executive and congressional power, particularly regarding the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. He notes the Roberts court generally protects executive power. The dispute over fund impoundment, seen in Department of State et al. versus AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, reflects deep polarization, hindering compromise. Epstein criticizes the use of lawfare, exemplified by the indictments of Letitia James and James Comey, stating it fails long-term and leads to cycles of violence and discord. 945-1000 The Perpetual Conflict Over Executive Power and the Rise of Lawfare GUEST NAME: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes the perpetual clash between executive and congressional power, particularly regarding the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 NPT Enforcement and the Golden Dome Defense Concept GUEST NAME: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski, executive director of the Non-proliferation Policy Education Center, debates whether the US should abandon the 1970 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), citing foreign criticism and industry constraints. He argues the US should stay to enforce the NPT by clarifying red lines, justifying the bombing of nuclear facilities. Sokolski also discusses the proposed Golden Dome defense system, intended to protect the Western Hemisphere against missiles and drones. The viability of the system, particularly regarding Low Earth Orbit defenses, remains unclear and requires greater Congressional buy-in. 1015-1030 NPT Enforcement and the Golden Dome Defense Concept GUEST NAME: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski, executive director of the Non-proliferation Policy Education Center, debates whether the US should abandon the 1970 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), citing foreign criticism and industry constraints.

He recalls the 1980s Ronald Reagan tax cut where promised spending cuts never materialized. The deficit is the annual gap between taxes and spending, accumulating into the national debt. Michel identifies a "deficit hawk coalition" split between deficit hawks (agnostic on revenues/spending) and budget hawks (concerned with government size), advocating for spending cuts to solve the crisis. Entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are the root of fiscal problems. 1045-1100 The US Fiscal Crisis: Spending Cuts Are the Only Way Out GUEST NAME: Adam Michel Adam Michel, director of tax policy at the Cato Institute, discusses the US fiscal crisis stemming from large deficits and overwhelming debt.

Michel identifies a "deficit hawk coalition" split between deficit hawks (agnostic on revenues/spending) and budget hawks (concerned with government size), advocating for spending cuts to solve the crisis. Entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are the root of fiscal problems.

Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers.

It's strategic. Every people group in our database has been vetted by researchers and field workers. These aren't randomly selected communities. They're the 100 largest frontier people groups, the populations with the least gospel access and the greatest potential for kingdom impact.

It's Friday, October 10th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Sudanese Muslims threaten to take over Christian school A years-long Islamist attempt to seize a Christian school in Sudan, Africa continued this month even as people displaced by war have taken refuge in the facility, reports Morning Star News. On September 3rd, an Islamic business interest sent three Muslims who forcefully entered the embattled Evangelical School of Sudan, located in the city of Omdurman across the Nile River from Sudan's capital of Khartoum. They threatened hundreds of mostly Christian people displaced by internal war, telling them to leave the compound. The intruders made their way to the office of the headmaster of the school, which belongs to the Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church and broke the office door. Without giving a deadline, the intruders threatened to take the facility by force. Psalm 10:2 says, “In arrogance, the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.” President Trump helped orchestrate Israel-Hamas peace deal At his Cabinet meeting yesterday morning, President Donald Trump discussed the historic peace deal he helped to negotiate between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian Muslim terrorist  group, to end the two-year-long war.  TRUMP: “It's really peace in the Middle East.” It was part of his 20-point peace plan to end the conflict. TRUMP: “We ended the war in Gaza, and really, on a much bigger basis, created peace. And I think it's going to be a lasting peace, hopefully an everlasting peace. Peace in the Middle East. We secured the release of all of the remaining hostages. It'll be a day of joy. “I'm going to try and make a trip over. We're going to go to Egypt, where we'll have a signing, an additional signing. We've already had a signing representing me, but we're going to have an official signing. So, it's been really something incredible that nobody thought it was possible to get it done.” On Friday, Israel's government ratified a ceasefire with Hamas, clearing the way to suspend hostilities in Gaza within 24 hours and free Israeli hostages held there within 72 hours after that, reports Reuters. Twenty Israeli hostages are still believed to be alive in Gaza, while 26 are presumed dead, and the fate of two is unknown. Hamas has indicated that recovering the bodies of the dead may take longer than releasing those who are alive. The living Israeli hostages are set to be released on Monday or Tuesday as Israel simultaneously prepares to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Many world leaders praised President Trump for his administration's role in brokering the deal.  Celebrations have erupted across Israel and Gaza, as the region welcomes the peace agreement, reports TheEpochTimes.com. TRUMP:  “So, I want to express my tremendous gratitude to the leaders of Qatar, Egypt and Turkey, for helping us reach this incredible day and for being there. They were there with us all the way. And of course, as you know, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and so many.  I will tell you, [Turkey] President [Recep] Erdogan was personally involved in dealing with Hamas and some of the others. He's been great. They've all been really amazing. Indonesia has been amazing. “The whole world has come together for this. People that didn't get along, people that didn't like each other, neighboring countries, that, frankly, didn't like each other. But now this is a moment in time.” At the cabinet meeting yesterday morning, Trump noted that this was the eighth major world conflict he helped to resolve in the first eight months of his second term. TRUMP: “We settled seven. This is number eight. We settled seven wars, or major conflicts, but wars. The one that I thought would be, maybe the quickest of all, would be Russia- Ukraine. And I think that's going to happen too. In the meantime, they're losing about 7,000 people a week, and that seems pretty bad. They're losing mostly soldiers, young soldiers. They go out to war and they're getting killed.” Pro-Israel activist: President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace prize President Donald Trump is being hailed as a peacemaker worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize after securing phase one of an "historic" Gaza peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, reports FoxNews. In an interview on Fox & Friends with Ainsely Earhart, pro-Israel activist Lizzy Savetsky was ecstatic. SAVETSKY: “I think that the Jewish people across the world have really been holding our breath for the past two years, especially knowing that so many of our brothers are being held in the tunnels of Gaza, being tortured, starved, and knowing that they're finally going to get to come home, knowing that we finally have a chance for real peace that could only be achieved through strength and military pressure on the horizon. “I just feel a great sense of relief. They were popping champagne in Hostage Square. This is news that we have been praying and praying and praying for for the past two years.” EARHARDT: “What is your message to President Trump?” SAVETSKY:  “Thank you so much for having the courage to do this. I have thanked God every single day that you are our president. This is why I campaigned for you. This is why my fellow Jews campaigned for you. “We knew that you were the only one who could get this done. You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. This is historic, and we are just endlessly grateful. President Trump, thank you. thank you, thank you.” Matthew 5:9 says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Chicago Mayor vs Donald Trump over National Guard in Windy City Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson  takes issue with President Donald Trump's decision to send in the National Guard to protect the people of Chicago from street violence. JOHNSON: “You know, as far as what we are hearing, the National Guard. First of all, it's illegal, unconstitutional. It's dangerous; it's wrong. This is not about deportation. This is not about safety for this President. This is about authoritarianism. It's about stoking fear. It's about breaking the Constitution that would give him that much more control over our American cities.” In 2024, there were 573 homicides in Chicago. And between January 1, 2025 and October 6th, there have already been another 331 homicides in the Windy City.  For 13 consecutive years, Chicago has had the most murders of any American city. New York Attorney General Letitia James indicted on mortgage fraud New York state Attorney General Letitia James was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Virginia on at least one charge of mortgage fraud, reports the New York Post. Federal housing regulator Bill Pulte referred James to the Justice Department in April. He claimed that she “falsified records” to get sweetheart home loans for a Virginia property that she claimed as her “principal residence” in 2023 — while she was starting her second term as New York's top prosecutor in New York City. Pulte suggested that James had committed crimes including wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and false statements to a financial institution, among other offenses. Arsonist who started Palisades Fire in L.A. arrested And finally, Jonathan Rinderknecht, the man accused of starting the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles on January 1, 2025, was arrested Tuesday, reports The Western Journal. According to KNBC-TV in Los Angeles, by January 31, the fire he set had burned through more than 23,000 acres, killed 12 people, and burned 7,000 homes and businesses to the ground. Rinderknecht, now living in Melbourne, Florida, was charged with destruction of property by means of fire. At the press conference, Bill Essayli, the acting U.S. attorney, said this. ESSAYLI: “As the world watched in horror as the Palisades fire burned, victims perished in the smoke and flames. Homes, where cherished family memories and belongings, were turned to rubble and ash. The iconic Pacific Coast Highway along Malibu looked like a war zone. And thousands of people were forced to evacuate. “Though homes and businesses cannot be rebuilt, this arrest, we hope, will provide a measure of justice to all those who were impacted.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, October 10th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Kenya and China have reached a groundbreaking agreement to restructure $3.5 billion in railway loans, converting them from U.S. dollars into Chinese yuan. The move could save Kenya $215 million in debt servicing costs and marks the first time an African nation has shifted major sovereign debt into RMB — a potential model for other Global South countries. In this episode, Eric & Géraud unpack what this deal really means for Kenya, China, and the broader narrative around China's “debt-trap diplomacy.” They explore how the agreement challenges old assumptions, what it says about the future of RMB internationalization, and whether other countries — like Indonesia — could follow suit.

After three weeks in Japan, Singapore and Italy, Gary and Hannah are back in KL to recap the top travel talking points from September and early October. China's Mid-Autumn Golden Week has just wrapped up, so we assess the current state of play in a diversifying Chinese outbound market. Elsewhere, we discuss a raft of new Muslim-friendly tourism initiatives being introduced across South East Asia, note a shift towards waterborne transport innovation and crunch the numbers of a tax relief scheme for travel industry workers in Indonesia. Plus, Thailand's THB300 Tourism Tax is being resuscitated (again), and the nation's tourism authority is turning to the diplomatic community as travel influencers. Plus, we delve deeper into AirAsia's potential purchase of COMAC planes, and take a quick layover in Brunei to reflect on the region's smallest visitor economy.

With over 30 years in wireless—from helping pioneer intercarrier SMS to running mobile identity operations across Americas and Asia Pacific — Eddie DeCurtis saw what others missed: 967 of 1,000 global mobile network operators lack the infrastructure to monetize CPNI data while protecting customers from fraud. The technical challenge isn't building APIs. It's that operators spent billions on 5G infrastructure and now lack capital, internal expertise, and operational frameworks to launch authentication services. In 18 months, Shush went from PowerPoint to 30 employees, supporting 47 network APIs with full GSMA Open Gateway compliance. Eddie shares how understanding regulatory frameworks by jurisdiction, not just deploying technology, became their competitive moat—and why hiring the executive who built T-Mobile USA's authentication platform gave them credibility no competitor could match. Topics Discussed: Why operators repeatedly said "we want to do it, we have no idea how, we have no money, we don't have a platform" Validating the thesis with former AT&T Communications CEO John Donovan before launching Securing a POC with a major operator pre-incorporation—with only a PowerPoint deck The three-legged stool: technology, network integration, and business operations (where competitors fail) Why knowing privacy regulations for CPNI data sharing by country became a deal-closer Reducing network integration from dozens of touchpoints to three specific network elements Supporting 8 Linux Foundation Camara APIs and TS.43 GBA AKA authentication standard Going from 3 to 30 employees and launching at Mobile World Congress on a $75/night Airbnb budget GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Validate with the person most likely to kill your idea: Eddie deliberately chose John Donovan—former CEO of AT&T Communications, board member at Lockheed and Palo Alto Networks—specifically because "he's going to be rough, he's going to totally ask the really hard questions." When Donovan's response was "go raise $40 million and own this space...you're not going to be alone for long," the validation carried weight because it came from someone incentivized to find fatal flaws. Most founders validate with friendly audiences or investors looking for deals. Find the battle-tested executive who has nothing to gain from being kind. Convert pre-product conviction into design partner commitments: Eddie secured a POC agreement with a major operator before Shush incorporated. "I had nothing. I didn't have software. We had an idea, we had a PowerPoint presentation." This only works when you've spent decades building domain expertise and relationships. The lesson isn't "sell vaporware"—it's that deep industry knowledge lets you articulate problem-solution fit so precisely that sophisticated buyers commit before seeing code. Infrastructure founders with 10+ years in-market can accelerate 12-18 months of product-market fit by converting expertise into early design partnerships. The enterprise moat is operational knowledge, not technical capability: Eddie's thesis: "Anybody can come up with the technology. You walk down the street in the Bay Area, 10 developers will develop it for you." Shush differentiated by answering questions competitors couldn't: How do you price SIM swap detection per query? What are CPNI data sharing regulations in Indonesia versus Brazil? How do you navigate internal stakeholder alignment across legal, privacy, and regulatory teams at a tier-one operator? When Eddie told an operator "here's the privacy rules for your country" after they admitted "I have no idea," he closed a knowledge gap that pure technology vendors can't fill. In regulated infrastructure markets, execution expertise beats technical superiority. Target the ambition-capability gap in capital-constrained buyers: Operators told Eddie the same story: eager to launch authentication services, zero clarity on execution, budgets decimated by 5G spending. This created perfect conditions for a full-stack solution. "Mid-market is hard because you have a buyer with problems that are not basic anymore, but they lack the ability to execute." Shush didn't sell point solutions—they delivered technology, integration, and business operations as a turnkey package. Identify buyers with sophisticated needs, strong intent, and constrained internal resources. That's where full-stack platforms win over point tools. Hire the operator who ran your exact use case at scale: Eddie cold-called John Morrowton, who "built this actual product and service offering at T-Mobile USA, from its inception to its execution and ran it for four years." His pitch: "I'm Eddie DeCurtis, how are you? You want a job? You're Chief Product Officer." Hiring someone who'd operationalized authentication services at a tier-one carrier gave Shush instant credibility with operator buyers and compressed years of trial-and-error into institutional knowledge. In infrastructure sales, hiring executives from reference customers eliminates "can you actually do this" objections before they surface. Minimize integration surface area to accelerate deployment: Mobile operators run highly secure networks with limited external access points. Shush "narrowed it down to three network elements that we can communicate with to provide all 47 APIs." Fewer integration points means faster deployment, lower implementation risk, and reduced operator IT overhead. This architectural decision became a sales accelerator. Infrastructure founders: identify the minimal viable integration that unlocks maximum API coverage, then make that your differentiated deployment story.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Ep 160 Description:  "Sexuality is ours. It isn't something we bring from the outside. It isn't dependent on having a partner. We can connect to that channel of sexuality, which is pure life force at any moment." —Naoli Vinaver   Pain is not the inevitable companion of childbirth—pleasure is. Women have been systematically disconnected from the profound energetic and sexual potential of their birthing experiences. But what if we challenge everything we've been told about how babies enter the world? Naoli Vinaver is a veteran midwife with nearly 40 years of experience revolutionizing birth practices. Her groundbreaking work explores the intersection of sexuality, healing, and childbirth, challenging cultural taboos and empowering women to reclaim their most intimate experiences. Tune in as Debra and Naoli dive deep into the transformative power of pleasure, revealing how masturbation, tantric techniques, and sexual energy can turn childbirth from a feared ordeal into a transcendent, healing journey of self-discovery and empowerment.   Connect with Debra!

Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go. It's strategic. Every people group in our database has been vetted by researchers and field workers. These aren't randomly selected communities. They're the 100 largest frontier people groups, the populations with the least gospel access and the greatest potential for kingdom impact. It grows with your capacity. Whether you're adopting as a family, church, or organization, the commitment adjusts to what you can offer. Some will pray weekly. Others will fund translation projects. A few will end up moving to the field. All contributions matter. When you adopt a people group today, you'll receive: Immediate next steps for your specific adopted group A digital covenant card to mark your commitment Information about your frontier people group Regular updates as we develop more resources and connections Beyond the practical resources, you'll receive something harder to quantify: the knowledge that you're part of a strategic response to the most urgent spiritual need on our planet. The Batak people have been sending missionaries to unreached groups for decades now. Their story didn't end with their own transformation; it multiplied exponentially.

Sexualised peanut butter is an interesting idea but somehow, after Boris explained it, it all made sense. Listen in to hear for yourself because there's that plus the Big Man's poem and Peter Voorst of Compass Expeditions joins us in the studio because Freido is in Indonesia. That didn't stop the mad Italian from dialling in then dropping out then dialling back in again on repeat but the disorganised madness will come as no surprise to regular listeners and a treat for new ones. So buy Borrie's books at Shock'n'Awe (https://www.shocknawe.com.au) then hit play for a take on motorcycles and motorcycle racing that you simply won't get anywhere else.

This week Beau continues the narrative of Ferdinand Magellan's terrifying circumnavigation of the globe. Magellan himself has been killed, so a new Captain-General needs to be chosen, and more adventure ensues as the remaining men and ships finally reach ‘The Spice Islands' located in modern day Indonesia.

At least two people have been killed in an attack outside a synagogue in Manchester in northern England on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Three others are in a serious condition after the incident, in which a car was driven at people and a man was stabbed. Greater Manchester Police have confirmed the suspected assailant was shot dead by armed officers. Detectives have declared it a terrorist attack. Also: the head of Hamas's armed wing in Gaza tells mediators he does not agree to the plan set out by US President Donald Trump to end the war with Israel. Rescue workers in Indonesia say there are no longer any signs of life under the rubble of a school which collapsed in East Java, with nearly sixty people still missing. Britain's Royal Society is marking 75 years since the mathematician and Second World War codebreaker, Alan Turing, created a test to help distinguish a machine from a human.
