Max Baecker says the crisis behind gold's sluggish price action is not because of gold itself but instead the U.S. debt situation. He offers his key reasons backing the bull case, from central bank buying to an ever-evolving Fed structure and lasting geopolitical uncertainty. Max also makes the distinction between gold and silver when it comes to AI as gold enters the "first or second inning" of its bull market. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

This episode is about the developmental progression and mission outcomes of SpaceX's Starship program, specifically focusing on Flight 12 and Flight 13. Documentation for the twelfth test flight highlights the introduction of Block 3 hardware and the activation of a second launch pad at Starbase, though the mission ended with the grounding of the fleet following a booster mishap. The subsequent coverage of the thirteenth mission describes a more successful iteration where the upper stage achieved several milestones, including the deployment of Starlink satellites and a controlled soft splashdown in the ocean. Together, these sources outline the iterative process of testing the world's most powerful rocket to meet future NASA Artemis lunar goals. The texts also catalog the rigorous technical testing and vehicle histories of the specific boosters and ships used in these high-altitude trials. Overall, the information illustrates the shift from experimental prototypes toward an operational vehicle capable of rapid reusability.

Lauren breaks down why the quarter was an overall disappointment, while Ali explains why Meta's fundamentals may be stronger than Wall Street has been giving it credit for. They also discuss why, despite the near-term setback, they still believe in Meta's long-term vision and AI driven growth strategy.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

If Andrew McQualter still wants to be a scalper, he'll have to turn to Freo's finals tickets! Time to Restump Podcast Saturday evening's walk in the Optus Stadium park.Imagine being a west coast supporter and thinking you're an improved outfit. 12 scoring shots for the game, just 5 in the second half for 1 goal 4. Quite simply, they were putrid. If Fremantle did anything wrong, it was gravely underestimating the sufficient level of complacency required to win. We could have implemented a player management strategy with a performance output made up of equal parts apathy and lethargy!Pretty much other than the minor premiership securing 4 points, there was almost nothing to take out of that game. I mean it was a good win, and a win by 10 goals, but let's be fair, we were up against a team of Richmond rejects, mid-season recruits and a guy who cries ‘free kick' if someone goes within 6 feet of him! Harley Reid has implemented his own social distancing policy. He rings his own free kick hot line when anyone breaches his self-designated safe space and lodges a complaint!The reality is the game was never out of our control and by quarter time, despite us being the narrowest of margins behind, it went from a procession to a formality, before we let down to a ‘going through the motions' routine.Yes, Murphy Reid continued bedazzling us, Matty Johnson had arguably his career best game and Jye Amiss, with another 5 goals, showed he has well and truly arrived. But let's ironically sing the praises of the unsung heroes.Disco Nathan had a ripper of a game. Is it right to suggest he hasn't the best right foot? But, on his left foot, unlike what left his right foot, a lot left right out of the middle. So, he did a lot right with his left, he left nothing in the tank and right now he's in no danger of being left right out! (I can't be the only one who is now bamboozled to a point of not knowing my left from my right?) Anyway, 2 goals, 7 score involvements, 11 possessions and a goal 3rd quarter, and plenty of defensive work from his 19 total touches from the wing was a pretty important contribution. And the ultimate team man Paddy Voss! His selflessness was on display yet again with his all-round game having a greater impact than it suggests on paper. Add in his goal, his 7 score involvements, his 6 inside fifties and his shepherding of Shai Bolton's goal and it puts substantial meat on those 11 disposal bones.The good news just kept coming off the field with Murphy Reid signing on until 2032 and Hugh Davies dedicating his future to Freo by putting pen to paper. We cannot overstate how big an achievement securing the extension for Murphy Reid is. The system Fremantle has put in place, the culture they have built, the recruiting and list management they have conducted, the ignoring of the outside noise and backing in Justin Longmuir and the resulting ridiculously successful year we have so far put together, are all encompassing elements that enticed and landed Murphy Reid for longer. He didn't initially want to come to Fremantle and now he doesn't want to leave. That is a monumental feather in the Freo cap. Well, Saturday night was fun but unfortunately the derbies have just lost their shine. Sadly, like they did to state of origin football in its former format, the West Coast Eagles have killed them off.However, that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of purple to prattle on about on the pod! So, before we draft a docker design to deal with the dogs, feel welcome to wade into the west coast wrangle waffle water with us as we wrap up the weekend cake walk. Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Wait, is the climate policy landscape … in better shape than it looks?Just over a year ago, President Trump passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. It repealed many of the Biden administration's most aggressive climate policies, including tax credits for solar and wind energy.Although those policies are gone, the emissions cuts they achieved remain largely intact — at least in the power sector, according to a new study that we're covering exclusively at Heatmap. Lily Bermel, the report's author and a visiting fellow at the Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy, argues that at least where energy generation is concerned, the glass is more than “half full.”On this episode of Shift Key, Lily joins Rob to discuss what we learned from Biden's big climate law, why it likely never would have achieved its projected emissions declines (at least not without a tremendous transmission buildout), and how studying its legacy changed her mind about policy going forward.

During the third hour of The Tara Show on Monday, June 29, 2026, host Tara Servatius leveled sharp criticism at the administration's military strategy, questioning President Donald Trump's decision to halt operations in the Middle East while leaving Iran's strategic assets near the Strait of Hormuz completely intact. Tara argued that by implementing a ceasefire before neutralizing these critical targets—which include highly capable missile systems, coastal launch sites, radar installations, and drone facilities—the administration has essentially allowed a rogue regime to maintain its grip on a vital global shipping lane. Backing her analysis with insights from prominent military experts, Tara expressed deep concern that leaving this infrastructure functional despite precise U.S. intelligence on its location not only undermines the effectiveness of the initial strikes but also risks emboldening Iranian aggression, ultimately keeping commercial vessels and global trade under a continuous, looming threat.

Tara continued criticizing President Trump's Iran strategy, arguing he intentionally halted military operations before destroying all remaining Iranian missile, radar, and drone facilities. Citing comments from General Jack Keane, she said Iran has used the ceasefire to restore military capabilities and questioned why the administration has allowed Tehran to retain control over the Strait of Hormuz while leaving key military targets intact.

Tara opened the show by sharply criticizing President Donald Trump's handling of the conflict with Iran, arguing that his decision to halt military operations before destroying all identified military targets has allowed Iran to retain missile systems, radar installations, and launch sites capable of threatening commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. She contended that the remaining Iranian military infrastructure was intentionally left intact despite U.S. intelligence knowing its location, questioned the administration's strategic rationale, and cited comments from military analysts and Fox News correspondents suggesting additional targets had been planned before the ceasefire. Tara also criticized the memorandum of understanding governing the Strait of Hormuz, arguing it gives Iran broad authority over commercial shipping without sufficiently restricting its military actions. Throughout the segment, she and Lee expressed concern that the unfinished campaign could embolden Iran, endanger global trade, and leave Republican lawmakers struggling to explain the administration's strategy to constituents, while maintaining that the initial decision to strike Iran's nuclear and military capabilities was justified

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-11-2026: Dr. Dawn discusses fascia — the gelatinous network of sugary proteins, salts, and collagen bundles that has been known to acupuncturists and osteopaths for millennia but ignored in conventional medical training. New confocal laser endomicroscopy technology has finally visualized this "interstitium" as a fluid-filled space draining to lymph nodes, present throughout the GI tract, urinary bladder, dermis, and peribronchial tissues. The structure may play roles in cancer metastasis, edema, fibrosis, and mechanical tissue function. An emailer asks about elevated organic arsenic levels (from sardines) and ultra-filtered dairy. Dr. Dawn explains that arsenobetaine—the protein-bonded form found in fish, is harmless and passes through the body, while inorganic and methylated arsenic accumulate in bone and collagen-rich tissues. In a second question about the safety of ultrafiltered dairy, she notes ultra-filtered products may carry more microplastics from extensive plastic filters and tubing exposure, with aged cheese being particularly concentrated since water removal increases plastic density. An emailer asks about breast MRI contrast options. Dr. Dawn explains that breast MRI requires gadolinium contrast because tumors leak through their poorly-formed blood vessels, creating necessary visual contrast. She strongly recommends macrocyclic gadolinium (a stable birdcage structure) over the linear form, which slips into bones, skin, the brain's caudate nucleus, liver, and spleen for at least eight years and rarely, can cause nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. There is some suggestion it may trigger brain inflammation. She suggests listing linear gadolinium as a drug sensitivity in medical charts. Researchers harvested exosomes from semen. The exosomes evolved to help sperm penetrate egg barriers, making them ideal delivery vehicles for drugs too toxic for traditional administration. These bubble-like vesicles can penetrate the eye to distribute a manganese dioxide nanozyme compound (CMG) across ocular barriers to treat retinoblastoma, a childhood eye cancer typically requiring eyeball removal. Researchers used extracellular vesicles (effectively artificial exosomes) delivered via nasal spray to reverse brain aging in mice. The vesicles carried messenger RNA targeting the NLRP2 inflammasome, restoring mitochondrial activity in neurons and improving memory and recognition in treated animals. The nasal delivery route bypasses the blood-brain barrier, opening possibilities for treating cognitive deterioration without injections or surgical implants. An emailer reports his wife two inches shorter at a new Kaiser facility in another state. Dr. Dawn first considers measurement inconsistency (shoes on or off), then suggests evaluating for compression fractures, disc disease, and parathyroid tumors. She recommends a bone scan, C-terminal telopeptide testing to assess active bone breakdown, and intact PTH to rule out parathyroid pathology if osteoporosis is identified by DEXA scan. Dr. Dawn explores a new brain model addressing how 86 billion neurons store more memory than classical models predict. Astrocytes, previously known mainly for creating myelin sheaths, form tripartite synapses with neurons connecting to thousands of synapses simultaneously, communicating via calcium signaling and gliotransmitters. This could provide the higher-order coupling needed for our dense associative memory that pairwise synaptic connections cannot explain. Disrupting astrocyte-neuron connections in the hippocampus impairs both memory storage and retrieval, supporting this theoretical model. A Nature Neuroscience study found abdominal muscle contractions compress blood vessels connected to the brain and spine via the vertebral venous plexus, physically rocking the brain within the skull. This mechanical swishing may explain how exercise helps clear brain toxins and prevent neurodegenerative disorders, potentially leading to inflatable abdominal devices that could aid brain cleansing during sleep. Montelukast, the common asthma and allergy drug, has been found to block a protein hijacked by triple-negative breast cancer that converts immune cells into "sleeper agents" that clear paths for tumor invasion rather than attacking cancer. Dr. Dawn notes AI is increasingly identifying these drug repurposing opportunities by analyzing molecular shapes and receptor compatibility.

“I never knew, and I was a bright kid. I didn't know who the mayor of New York was, but I could tell you the names of all the mafia guys on the corner.” — Vincent Coppola So we finally found a Coppola for the show. No, not Francis Ford. But somebody just as cool and even more authentic. The longtime Newsweek reporter Vincent Coppola grew up in Brooklyn three subway stops from Manhattan, but never went there until he was a teenager, nor even visited Central Park until his twenties. Coppola's version of Brooklyn, a teeming Italian ghetto squeezed between the banks of the polluted Gowanus Canal, no longer exists. Except in his exquisitely rendered new memoir, Gowanus Crossing: A Brooklyn Boyhood, which has the most delicious story about an Easter pie recipe you'll ever read. The Brooklyn of Vinnie's childhood was intact, insular, cut off from everywhere more than three stops away. It had its own government — the Mafia; its own religion — the Catholic Church; its own poisoned geography — the Gowanus Canal. A world inside a world. He didn't know who the mayor of New York was, but he knew the name of every wise guy on every street corner. To a kid, Gowanus was a magical place. The grown Vinnie (now called Vincent), having crossed his own Rubicon to attend Columbia journalism school, describes it as a “toxic snow globe.” Brooklyn über alles. Or, more authentically, al primo posto. Especially now, when only a real Coppola can resurrect it. Five Takeaways •       A Toxic Snow Globe: Cut Off Three Stops from Manhattan: Coppola grew up in an Italian enclave on the Gowanus Canal — a waterway that was, unbeknownst to its residents, one of the most polluted in America. The community was so insular that Coppola — a bright, bookish kid — never went to Manhattan until he was a teenager, never visited Central Park until he was in his twenties, though he was three subway stops away. He knew the names of all the Mafia guys on the corner. He did not know who the mayor of New York was. A toxic snow globe: its own rules, its own government, its own religion. Intact and entirely cut off from the rest of the world. •       The Mafia as Shadow Government: The Mafia was not background colour in Coppola's childhood. It was the actual government. Police from the 78th Precinct pulled up to the social club on Sundays; officers walked in and walked out with brown paper bags full of cash. Squad cars ferried a hitman — the bodyguard of Carmine Persico — as if they were taxis. This corrupted any childlike innocence about institutions. The stereotype of the nice policeman, the honest cop, the beloved priest: none of them applied. Because they were poor, nobody cared. Nobody cared about the canal being polluted until real estate people came in. •       The Predatory Priest and the Code of Silence: A local priest molested altar boys for decades, including Coppola's best friend. Nobody in the community knew. Coppola's observation: if the Mafia had known, they would have killed that man. It would have been that simple. Two oppressive codes of silence — the Mafia's omertà and the Church's own silence — operated in parallel. One protected criminals who were also community pillars. The other protected a predator. The community was too poor, too preoccupied, too isolated to see what was happening in front of their eyes. •       The Easter Pie Recipe: A Story About Secrets and Mothers: One of the great set pieces of the book. Coppola was obsessed throughout his life with a specific Easter pastry — pizza di grano, a grain pie — that the old neighbourhood women made and would not share the recipe for. He worked for Newsweek, had access to chefs everywhere, could not reproduce it. At his mother's funeral, an old neighbour pressed a piece of paper into his hand. Weeks later he found it in his jacket pocket and opened it. Not cash — the recipe. Written in Italian. Beginning: “under a full moon.” It was a hundred years old. He wasn't going to be baking under full moons. •       The Ghost Town: A Million-Dollar Desert: Coppola returned to Gowanus three weeks before the interview, invited to speak at a public library. His neighbourhood was blooming with skyscrapers and condominiums. And it was dead silent. When he grew up, the streets were teeming — children playing hopscotch, women gossiping on chairs outside, music, grilling on the corner, betting. He came back to a million-dollar ghost town. It broke his heart. The people he grew up with had been driven out — priced out of the place where they belonged. That is the elegy the book is writing. He hopes he preserved the best of that world. About the Guest Vincent Coppola is a journalist and the author of six books. A former reporter at Newsweek, he has written for Esquire, Rolling Stone, Men's Journal, and Atlanta magazine. He is a 1977 honours graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. His essay on his mother's battle with cancer won the William Allen White Gold Medal. He is the author of Gowanus Crossing: A Brooklyn Boyhood (Henry Holt, June 9, 2026). He lives in Savannah, Georgia. References: •       Gowanus Crossing: A Brooklyn Boyhood by Vincent Coppola (Henry Holt, June 9, 2026). •       Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes — the publisher's comparison: “Frank McCourt's gimlet eye with the exuberant menace of a Scorsese movie.” •       Carmine Persico — the mafioso boss referenced in the conversation; his bodyguard is a character in the book. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,900 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotify Chapters: (00:31) - Introduction: the Brooklyn of Whole Foods vs the Brooklyn of the Gowanus Canal (01:20) - An Italian village plucked from the south of Italy and dropped in Brooklyn (02:04) - Vince, did you ever really leave?

Craig Cobb says the market continues to look overwhelmingly bearish, and from his perspective, the recent price action has only reinforced that view. While many investors disappear when prices fall, Craig says these are the periods that get him most excited because they create opportunities for long-term accumulation. Having remained largely in cash throughout the downturn, he is now watching closely for signs that Bitcoin could offer a more attractive reentry point.The key level Craig continues to focus on is the $74,000 area. This zone previously acted as major resistance before becoming support following President Trump's election victory rally. Last week, Bitcoin broke below that level and has since struggled to reclaim it. On both the daily and weekly charts, Craig sees a clear pattern of lower highs and lower lows, with the two-week timeframe also showing what he considers a textbook downtrend. To him, the trend remains firmly bearish until proven otherwise.Craig is also paying close attention to the monthly chart. May closed as a bearish month after Bitcoin failed to hold above $80,000, and he believes a break below the May low near $72,460 could open the door for significantly more downside. While he is not predicting that Bitcoin will revisit previous cycle lows, he does believe momentum could accelerate if key support levels fail. Rather than rushing back into the market, he remains comfortable holding cash and waiting for better opportunities.Ethereum continues to be one of Craig's biggest concerns. He notes that Ethereum showed weakness long before Bitcoin rolled over and has now fallen below the psychologically important $2,000 level. Because Ethereum often serves as a barometer for the broader altcoin market, its continued weakness suggests that altcoins may struggle to gain meaningful traction. Projects like Cardano, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin Cash all continue to show bearish structures, with Bitcoin Cash suffering some of the most severe losses in recent weeks.One notable exception is Hyperliquid. Craig highlighted Hyperliquid as one of the strongest performers in the entire crypto market, pointing to its revenue generation model and token buyback mechanism as key drivers behind its continued strength. While most of the market remains under pressure, Hyperliquid has continued making new highs and attracting significant capital.Looking at broader market indicators, Craig notes that Bitcoin dominance has fallen sharply, but not because altcoins are thriving. Instead, Bitcoin itself has weakened relative to the broader market. Total crypto market capitalization continues to look fragile, and Craig believes many altcoin holders have simply reached a point of exhaustion, holding positions despite large losses rather than actively selling.For now, Craig's outlook remains straightforward. The trends across nearly every major timeframe continue pointing lower. He is watching closely to see whether Bitcoin breaks the May monthly low, which could trigger another significant leg down. Until the charts show otherwise, he believes patience remains the best strategy.For deeper market analysis and Craig's weekly outlook, visit The Grow Me Co.For Craig's trend scanner and trading tools, check out Market Intern.

Jenna offers a coaching program for men who want to understand what's underneath the patterns they've been carrying and actually work through them.You can start with a free consultation on her website.If you're a circumcised man and rage, unworthiness, or the need to prove yourself runs your life, this conversation is for you.On October 26, 2023, Jenna McClelland woke up sobbing from a dream so vivid she couldn't move. In it, she watched a newborn boy being circumcised, and the baby locked eyes with her. That moment became the origin of what she now calls the first circumcision healing program for men.Jenna explains what happens during the procedure, what tissue is removed, and why she sees it as one of the least examined forms of trauma in modern culture. She estimates around 3,000 babies are circumcised daily in the U.S. alone.The deeper focus is on how this experience may shape the adult male psyche. She connects it to patterns around worth, attachment, and the internal drives many men struggle to name. She also argues that physical restoration alone doesn't address the underlying imprint.You'll also hear the parts often left out: the role of industry, ongoing religious practices, limited reporting on complications, and why she believes the conversation is beginning to shift.Some of this is difficult to hear, but it offers a clear perspective on why the topic reaches far beyond the procedure itself.You'll learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:29] What pulled a woman deep into the most unspoken taboo in men's health[14:53] Debunked claims, global statistics, and what really happens in that room[32:08] The cellular imprint left on every circumcised man and the mother wound it creates[41:50] The matrix man: how society programs men to chase a standard they can never reach[53:407] Trauma as a living entity and how it spiritually amputates a man's power[01:06:47] Everything that's actually removed and the medieval decision to take even more[01:14:59] How demonic forces infiltrated religion and what those rituals still look like today[01:33:49] The real reason so many circumcised men fear knives and share the same nightmare[01:37:05] Billion-dollar industries that need circumcision to keep existing[01:43:09] From the four venomous dragon heads to vertical alignment; Jenna's healing framework[02:02:16] Intact men suffer too: the global pandemic of genital shame nobody talks aboutRelated The Way Forward episodes:Blindfold Vision, Luminous Children & The New Way of Being with Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan | YouTube Find more from Jenna:Jenna McClelland | InstagramJenna McClelland | YouTubeFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:PaleoValley: 100% Grass-Fed Bone Broth Protein is a nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest source of collagen and essential amino acids.

Our new ROPESCAST episode features a high-stakes dialogue between host Ksenia Svetlova and Elliott Abrams, a veteran U.S. diplomat and foundational figure in American foreign policy who served as Deputy National Security Advisor and Special Representative for Iran and Venezuela. The discussion offers an analysis of the recent conflict with the Iranian regime, interrogating the strategic paradox of an American kinetic campaign that successfully neutralized key military assets while intentionally eschewing a ground invasion, thereby leaving the regime's governance structures and its control over the Strait of Hormuz effectively intact. Moving beyond the tactical, Abrams—now a Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations—analyzes the ties between Israel and the US and discusses the military aid to Israel, settler violence and upcoming elections in Israel.The dialogue concludes by evaluating the Abraham Accords' durability after the war with Iran, illustrating how the framework navigated its most severe geopolitical stress test to date.Chapters:00:00 — Meet Elliott Abrams: Inside U.S. Middle East Strategy08:16 — Why Trump Went to War Without Europe13:31 — Gulf States Tried to Stop the War — Then Got Hit Anyway17:34 — “We Cannot Afford Another North Korea”20:36 — Did Netanyahu Convince Trump to Attack Iran?23:22 — The Truth About Iran's “Destroyed” Nuclear Program27:45 — Is America Turning Against Israel?35:30 — Has Israel Lost the Democratic Party?40:35 — Elliott Abrams on Settler Violence & Qatar's Influence45:33 — Will Saudi Arabia Ever Normalize With Israel?48:23 — The Future of the Middle East After the Iran War

The Oklahoma State Legislature is taking steps to gain more control of the state's Medicaid payments, drawing concerns from tribal leaders and healthcare advocates. Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. warns that the predicted scaling back of expanded Medicaid eligibility enshrined in the state constitution in 2020 would disproportionately affect Native patients. He says dismantling the expansion would cost his tribe alone more than $162 million. The state's actions come as both tribal health providers and Medicaid recipients brace for looming federal funding cuts and stricter eligibility requirements. Also, we'll hear from Alannah Acaq Hurley (Yup'ik). The executive director of the United Tribes of Bristol Bay recently won the Goldman Environmental Prize for her work raising awareness about a controversial open-pit copper and gold mine in the Bristol Bay region of Southwest Alaska.

Ryan Detrick explains why the recent volatility was a rapid reset rather than the start of a bear market. He highlights a rare surge in momentum, stable credit signals, and weak defensive sector leadership as evidence the rally remains intact. Detrick says unless credit spreads widen or defensives begin to lead, the path of least resistance for equities remains higher.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

They explain how a wafer‑fab equipment super cycle is taking shape, led by surging memory demand and massive orders from SK Hynix, Micron (MU) and Samsung.

This week we review a recent work on fetal atrial septal interventions in the patient with hypoplastic left ventricle or double outlet right ventricle with mitral valve atresia/dysplasia and a restrictive or intact atrial septum. How often was this procedure technically feasible and successful? What are the criteria to be considered for such an intervention? Why does use of a laser improve the crossing of the atrial septum in this procedure? Should prenatal intervention be used instead of postnatal intervention in this setting? Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Betul Yilmaz shares her insights into this fascinating topic.https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.125.015209

While the consumer remains robust, significant anxiety exists regarding the massive investments in AI and resulting stock market valuations.

Jonathan Schanzer addresses the BBC's acknowledgment of breaching editorial guidelines over 1,500 times during the Gaza conflict. He confirms that Hamas has been decimated, operating as a spent, asymmetric urban force.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Staffing Challenges and Political Bias: The Gaza Peace Plan and the BBC. Mary Kissel details the challenges facing the State Department and NSC in implementing the Trump administration's urgent Gaza Peace Plan, noting staffing issues are delaying coordination. The plan, featuring an apolitical "Board of Peace," seeks international legitimacy despite the UN's prejudice against Israel. Kissel expresses little surprise regarding the BBC scandal, viewing the deliberate distortion of the President's video remarks as appalling and emblematic of an "embedded bias" against conservatives that is deep and unfixable. 1015-1030 Staffing Challenges and Political Bias: The Gaza Peace Plan and the BBC.

Judy Dempsey discusses the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, noting it is infiltrating German culture, education, and town halls, predominantly in the East. She warns that the AfD poses a danger to German democracy and the rule of law. The future hinges on whether established parties can isolate the AfD or if the Constitutional Court will intervene to outlaw the party. Dempsey also notes that the BBC scandal involves the highly scrutinized domestic service, distinct from the generally "exemplary" BBC World Service. 1045-1100 The Rise of the AfD and the Threat to German Democracy.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Rare Earths, Global Conflicts, and Reimagining Democracy. Gregory Copley analyzes China's rare earth monopoly, noting it was achieved through low pricing and unsafe practices but is now eroding as global suppliers ramp up production. He reviews current global conflicts, viewing the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford battle group near Venezuela as a test of brinkmanship, and citing Kyiv's admission of losses in Ukraine. Copley also argues that democracy is "dead," advocating for a return to defining the spirit of a social contract rather than relying on mutable laws. 1115-1130 Rare Earths, Global Conflicts, and Reimagining Democracy.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Conservative Politics and Extremism; The Structural Problems of the BBC. Joseph Sternberg argues that mainstream conservatives must accommodate legitimate right-wing concerns (like immigration) to squeeze out extremists, referencing the German CDU/CSU's successful historical tactic against neo-Nazis. He analyzes the widespread BBC scandal, noting its huge cultural influence in the UK, where it is funded by a mandatory license fee. The deliberate editing of the US President's remarks and allegations of tendentious coverage of the Israel/Gaza war point to a deep, structural problem within the organization. 1215-1230 Conservative Politics and Extremism; The Structural Problems of the BBC.

Ivana Stradner warns that the UN cybercrime treaty, drafted by Russia and supported by China, undermines global human rights and free speech. She argues the treaty is mere "window dressing" enabling authoritarian regimes to pursue digital sovereignty—like Russia's "fake news" laws or China's "golden shield" project—to censor dissent. Stradner suggests that allowing Russia and China to regulate cyberspace is comparable to trusting the arsonist to put out the fire, urging the United States not to ratify the treaty. 1245-100 AM The Modern Marine Corps: MEUs, Amphibious Ship Shortages, and the Role in East Asia. Colonel Grant Newsham discusses the Marine Corps, celebrating its 250th birthday and historic legacy at Belleau Wood. Newsham describes the Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) as a flexible force of about 2,000 Marines aboard amphibious ships, capable of missions from humanitarian aid to combat. A critical challenge is the Navy's low prioritization of amphibious ships, leading to a deployment shortage. In East Asia, Marines are expected to seize key terrain and use long-range precision weapons to control maritime territory, though prioritizing missile units has reduced overall mission versatility.

PREVIEW. AI in the Marketplace. Elizabeth Peek examines AI in the marketplace regarding the spectacular rise of stocks and related "bubble talk."
