On October 8, 2025, the Alliance of Indigenous Nations (A.I.N.) issued a world's 1st Declaration and Ruling as an Internationally Recognized Tribunal declaring all mRNA COVID-19 vaccines biological and technological gene-editing weapons of mass destruction purposefully designed to eradicate all of humanity from earth.  This declaration was served upon the RCMP and National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa by a man named Chief William Denby, was emailed by our host Brad Wozny to President Trump, Vice President Vance, the Inspector General in Washington, and the magnitude for what was brought forward is thanks to the vigilance and fiery spirit of Freda Davis, a member of the Haida clan in the Pacific Northwest, who did not turn a blind eye to the evil.  She and her husband Elvis Davis, a Chief and also a member of the Haida clan, join our host Brad Wozny to share their gut-wrenching tale of tragedy among this sobering triumph to help save our children and stop the slaughter of mankind.  Listen and Share this powerful story... ⚡️Download & Leverage the Historic A.I.N.

Hamas Violates Ceasefire and Maintains Political Control Guest: Jonathan Conricus Jonathan Conricus states that Hamas is systematically violating the ceasefire, deliberately stalling the release of hostages' bodies to maintain political leverage against Israel. Hamas is internally working to settle scores and communicate that they are "here to stay" as a governing force. Conricus notes that the release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian terrorists, including experienced operatives, significantly increases the likelihood that they will eventually resume terror activities.

Hosts Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor dedicate the episode to attacking the ongoing government shutdown, which they consistently label the "Democrat shutdown," now on its 29th day. They feature several Fox News audio clips (Tivo) of Republican leaders, including Senator John Thune and Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, slamming Democrats for using the suffering of American families—specifically SNAP and WIC recipients, and unpaid federal workers—as "leverage" for political gain. The hosts and their guests argue that the Democrats could end the shutdown immediately by passing a clean Continuing Resolution (CR) which they had previously voted for, but refuse to do so to force concessions like providing health care to illegal immigrants and restoring "pork" funding. The episode also touches on President Trump's successful foreign deals and local sports news.   Standout Moments:   The "Democrat Shutdown" Attack: Senator John Thune delivers a "fiery speech" where he details how the shutdown has hurt real people and notes that Republicans have voted 13 times to fund programs like SNAP, but Democrats have voted no to keep the government closed for leverage. (6:41) The Pork Problem: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen and JD Vance argue that Democrats are holding up the government to force the inclusion of $$1.5$ trillion in funding for waste, fraud, abuse, and health care for illegal immigrants into the reopening bill. (11:24) Democrat Poll Numbers Are Hurting: Fox News analysts discuss polling data showing that the shutdown is hurting Democrats, with the Republican Congress's net approval rating up 12 points with its base and 8 points among Independents. (15:58) New York's SNAP Share: It's revealed that almost 10% of the country's SNAP benefits—nearly $$700$ million of $$8$ billion a month—goes to New York, highlighting the state's significant stake in the funding fight. (16:16) Trump's Trade Successes: The host notes that President Trump was successful in meetings in South Korea and China, with China planning to buy a "ton of soybeans," hopefully emptying farmer's bins. (2:23) World Series Update: Toronto beats the Dodgers 6-1, taking a 3-2 lead in the World Series, with the host enthusiastically pulling for the Dodgers to lose. (4:12) Deer Season is Coming: Outdoors expert Steve Carney shares an incredible story of a large doe returning to his decoy after his first arrow shot hit the window of his ground blind, and gives an update on the upcoming North Dakota and Minnesota rifle openers.

President Trump is coming home with trillions of dollars of new investments in the United States. After visiting 3 countries in 6 days, President Trump ended the trip with a meeting with President Xi Jinping. President Trump called the meeting a 12 out of 10 as the president touted progress on multiple fronts on working with China. The agreement includes a commitment from China to purchase soybeans from American farmers, curb the flow of fentanyl and postpone its export restrictions on rare earths, which are used in everything from iPhones to military equipment. JD Vance absolutely crushed his appearance at the TPUSA event at Ole' Miss University. The president spoke powerfully and authentically, taking questions for over an hour after his speech. Riley Gaines challenged AOC to a debate during her appearance on FOX, to which AOC responded with demeaning insults. Riley essentially proved the point that Democrats are afraid to actually unpack their ideas in the public square because most of them are false and not based in reality. As SNAP benefits are set to expire on November 1st, Democrats are showing and saying out loud that they will let Americans starve as they hold the government hostage. The government shutdown is their leverage. Our amazing panel is here to weigh in on everything happening in Washington, plus this week's winners and losers!

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the Democrats' hilariously bad messaging on the government shutdown, China's chilling fusion of AI and genetic engineering, and Jon Stewart's absurd comparison of Zohran Mamdani to Jackie Robinson.First, they marvel at how Democrats proudly admit to causing real pain for Americans in an attempt to gain political leverage in the shutdown fight. It's a cold, heartless message but Democrats are more than welcome to keep using it.Next, Jim shares insights from Bill Drexel of the Hudson Institute, who joined Jim on the recent trip to India. Drexel reports that China is combining artificial intelligence with genetic engineering in pursuit of future generations with no flaws and who will be superior soldiers. Jim also explains how the ethical nightmare surrounding this plan won't even matter to Xi Xinping and the Chinese Communist Party.Finally, they roll their eyes as Jon Stewart of The Daily Show fawns over Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani and compares him to legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson. Jim and Greg document how the Democrats have shifted from running away from Mamdani to a full embrace once they sensed he could win.Please visit our great sponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money at https://RocketMoney.com/MARTINI Build your fall sanctuary of comfort with Boll and Branch.

What if the most potent weapon that America has against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) isn't nukes or tariffs?“This isn't a competition between the largest economy and the second largest economy. This is a competition of ideals—and we've got the better ones,” says former Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback.“If you want to hit them where it hurts, hit them on human rights issues, genocides in their own country, religious freedom that they don't grant any of their people—whether they be Buddhist, Muslim, Falun Gong, Christians. That's where they're the weakest. It's where they're the most vulnerable.”Ahead of President Donald Trump's expected meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, I sat down with Brownback to understand what he sees as the Chinese regime's greatest vulnerabilities, its deepest fears, and how those can be strategically leveraged by the United States.Brownback is co-chair of the International Religious Freedom Summit. He previously served as governor of Kansas from 2011 to 2018 and as a U.S. senator from Kansas, 1996 to 2011. His upcoming book is titled, “China's War on Faith.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In-utero procedures can yield better long-term outcomes for the baby. However, fetal surgery relies on instruments developed for other disciplines. An early-stage startup in Maryland is developing in-utero instruments to improve outcomes for both fetus and mother.Fetal Therapy Technologies CEO Selena Shirkin joins Key Tech's Andy Rogers for Episode 42 of the MedTech Speed to Data podcast to discuss startup innovation in fetal surgery.Need to knowFetal surgeries carry risks — In addition to uterine damage complicating future pregnancies, 40% of surgeries have a risk of preterm birth.Few specialized tools are used — In the field's forty-year history, the FDA has only approved the Karl Storz Fetoscope for use in fetal surgeries.Off-label device use is widespread — Equipment borrowed from adjacent fields like laparoscopy and neurosurgery weren't indicated for use in the uterus.The nitty-grittyShirkin and Chief Technology Officer Eric McAlexander founded Fetal Therapy Technologies as students in Johns Hopkins University's biomedical engineering graduate program. While shadowing surgeons, they saw how off-label instruments complicated procedures.“I watched a surgeon using a grasper and suture,” Shirkin recalled. “The suture was falling out of the grasper because they didn't fit. It took time in the surgery to make sure that didn't occur.”Observations like these led the team to wonder why the field lacked optimized tools. “As biomedical engineers,” Shirkin says, “we asked ourselves what if we created those purpose-built instruments that actually make these procedures safer?”They quickly ran into the commercial limits of a market as small as fetal surgery. With only one device FDA-approved for in-uterine procedures, surgeons have no choice but to use devices off-label. So Fetal Therapy Technologies is flipping the script by leveraging the broader applications of an instrument designed for fetal surgeries.“In a way, our company solves two problems at once,” Shirkin says. “A company that creates a fetal innovation [that] also raises a much broader market of general microsurgery.”Their first product is a uterine port. “Similar to laparoscopic surgeries,” Shirkin explains, “that involves inserting a port through the abdomen into the uterus. [The new] port is designed to leverage the elastic properties of the uterine environment to make entry safer than the current clinical standard.”For broader commercialization, they aim to demonstrate equivalence to predicate devices and qualify as a 510(k) Class II device following benchtop and animal studies. Approval for fetal surgeries is a longer journey, but the company can build on its data before entering human trials.Data that made the difference:Shirkin offered insights for other students considering an entrepreneurial future in MedTech.Leverage university resources. “We work incredibly closely with the Johns Hopkins Center for Fetal Therapy,” Shirkin says. We've also gotten opportunities from Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures.”Build a network of advisors. “We are supported by a very broad variety of clinical, technical, and business mentors across the Johns Hopkins ecosystem and beyond.”Tap into local funding sources. “There's a lot of collegiate business plan competitions that we've been very successful [raising] non-dilutive funds that way. There are also state-level grants. We just received a Baltimore Innovation Initiative grant.”

Leverage

“Fraudulent conduct robs the government – at all levels, local, state, or federal – of the benefit of competition. Competition is free and open; it is the Magna Carta of the American economic system, and robbing the government of that benefit is inherently wrongful.”  Public sector procurement faces mounting challenges, not least of which is the threat of collusion and fraud that quietly erodes budgets and public trust. The Department of Justice's Procurement Collusion Strike Force is taking this seriously, with a coordinated and data-driven approach to cracking down on anticompetitive conduct at all levels. In this episode, Philip Ideson speaks with Daniel Glad, Director of the Procurement Collusion Strike Force at the DOJ, who walks listeners through the reality of prosecuting bid rigging and price fixing in public contracts.  Daniel shares compelling stories, actionable red flags, and new tools (like the groundbreaking whistleblower reward program) that empower honest players to speak up. Learn what triggers a federal investigation, which spend categories are especially vulnerable, and why the risks (and penalties) for collusion have never been higher. In this episode, Daniel discusses ways to: Identify which purchasing patterns often attract collusive behavior Detect early warning signs that suggest fraudulent bidding Leverage whistleblower programs to protect your organization and career Understand how technology and data analytics are changing enforcement Prepare for the scrutiny of the DOJ's proactive investigative methods Links: Daniel Glad on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube

Europe's Energy Liberation: US Shale Ending Russian Gas Leverage Michael Bernstam with John BatchelorBatchelor highlights the irony that Russia's perceived energy leverage over Europe is dissolving, a dependence once so great that Europeans were said not to be able to turn the lights on without Russian energy. Bernstam declares that natural gas will now be in abundance, ensuring that Russia "never again will there be leverage over Europe." This shift signifies "Liberation Day for natural gas in Europe." The European Union's 19th package of sanctions is scheduled to phase out Russian pipeline gas and Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) completely by the end of 2027, with the majority phased out by the middle of 2026. The United States shale revolution is crucial, producing approximately 270 billion cubic meters of natural gas for export to Europe via established terminals, freeing Europe from Russian energy dependence.

Furner, however, refused to take the bait and delivered another embarrassing blow to Stephanopoulos. When Stephanopoulos tried to claim the economy is in a tailspin, citing a rise in turkey prices ahead of Thanksgiving, Furner pushed back, saying that not only will Walmart's turkeys will be at their “lowest since 2019,” the cost of their Thanksgiving basket for ten will be “$14 cheaper than last year. “We're down about 25% since last year, down about $14 for the basket, which puts us in a position where this basket is just under $4 a person serving 10 people.” “Our turkey prices, George, are all the way back to what they were in 2019 at 97 cents a pound.” Watch:   Stephanopoulos then tried to bait Furner into complaining about the new tariffs under the Trump administration harming the economy, but once again failed miserably. Furner responded, “Well George, as you know, we're selling a really wide variety of products and about two-thirds of what we sell is either made, grown, or assembled in the United States.” “And out merchants have done a nice job of mixing things out and this basket is a great example of where we're keeping prices down.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com    https://twitter.com/JoeLang51440671/status/1981007510627565731   something we never imagined ten years ago.
