The Government has hinted it wants to increase military spending, as geopolitical escalations taking place off the coast prompt concern. Three Chinese Navy ships have been conducting live fire rounds in the Tasman Sea in recent days - and details are coming to light of its new deal with the Cook Islands. Former Defence Minister Andrew Little says China's economy has grown - along with the size of its military. "We need to make sure that our equipment is modern, up to spec, and works with our defence partners - whether it's Australia, the UK or the US or whoever."

President Trump likes to keep everyone on their toes. He has repeatedly proven to say things that (in the end) were perhaps never meant to be taken seriously in the first place. Sometimes the president's statements contain terrible ideas, like the U.S. owning Gaza. But at other times, his statements are pretty incredible, like the U.S. cutting military spending by 50% if Russia and China agree to do the same. Today on the Liberty Report, we cover the latter statement, which would be a huge positive for our nation, were it ever to come to pass.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, Nate Thurston welcomes Dan McKnight, chairman and founder of Bring Our Troops Home and Defend the Guard. Dan shares his backstory, including his military service and his journey from supporting endless wars to advocating for their end. They discuss the Defend the Guard initiative, its successes, and the challenges it faces in various states. They also delve into the implications of U.S. foreign policy under different administrations and the need for congressional accountability in declaring war. Tune in to learn more about grassroots activism and the ongoing efforts to reclaim constitutional war powers.   Dan McKnight served 13 years in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, U.S. Army, and Idaho Army National Guard, including a National Guard response and support mission during Hurricane Katrina and an 18-month deployment to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom in the Pech River Valley of Northeastern Afghanistan.    In an effort to refocus the proper use of the United States military, Dan founded Bring Our Troops Home in February 2019 with a mission to force Washington DC to end these undeclared wars and commit to reclaiming the congressional enumerated power “to declare war.”   Dan's X: https://x.com/DanMcKnight30   Follow Defend the Guard on X: https://x.com/DefendTheGuard   Follow Bring Our Troops Home on X: https://x.com/TroopsHomeUS   DEFEND THE GUARD https://defendtheguard.us/   (00:57) Dan McKnight's Background and Military Service   (01:01) Founding Bring Our Troops Home and Defend the Guard   (02:24) Challenges and Advocacy in Washington, DC   (03:40) Veteran Perspectives on War and Service   (06:50) Defend the Guard Movement and Legislation   (07:56) National Guard's Role in Modern Warfare   (13:32) Issues with Military Leadership and Recruitment     (16:41) Biden's Withdrawal from Afghanistan   (20:04) Congressional Abdication of War Powers   (30:20) Pentagon Audit and Military Spending   (34:48) Trump's Foreign Policy and Gaza   (40:46) Defend the Guard Movement   (47:15) Grassroots Activism and Support

Israel's economy has been hit by the 15-month-long war in Gaza, and its military spending has gone up significantly, according to the economic researchers at Capital Economics. We will be speaking to one of the economic analysts who did the research. The former Bank of Canada governor, Mark Carney, says he is running to replace Justin Trudeau as the leader of Canada's governing Liberal Party. Casting himself as an outsider with strong economic credentials, he distanced himself from the prime minister's unpopular government. And, we will look at who's planning a trip to North Korea during the northern hemisphere holiday. The country has reopened one of its border cities to foreign tourists for the first time in five years.

Research into global conflict indicates more countries are at war today than at any time since World War Two. Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump, NATO and the EU all want to increase military spending, which hit record levels worldwide again last year. What are the implications?

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the launch of the company's first actively managed exchange-traded fund , the U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace & Defence ETF, trading under the symbol "WAR" on the New York Stock Exchange. This launch marks a significant milestone, building on the success of the company's flagship U.S. Global Jets ETF, which has exceeded $1 billion in assets under management. The WAR ETF aims to capitalize on the increasing global demand for advanced defence and protection technologies, providing investors with exposure to sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, data centers, cybersecurity, aerospace, and electronic warfare. Designed to address modern challenges and geopolitical risks, the WAR ETF applies a smart beta 2.0 investment strategy that integrates quantitative and fundamental analysis to identify opportunities for long-term growth while mitigating risk. Holmes highlighted the growing urgency for defense-related investments, citing that global military expenditures reached a record-breaking $2.4 trillion in 2023, following nine consecutive years of growth. He emphasized that this trend is particularly evident in Europe, where EU member states collectively plan to spend €326 billion on aerospace and defence this year—an unprecedented 1.9% of the bloc's GDP. With its innovative approach and focus on high-growth industries, the WAR ETF seeks to offer investors diversified exposure to the critical technologies shaping the future of global defense and security. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #grow #etf #jets #travel #colombia #WARETF #DefenseSpending #Cybersecurity #Semiconductors #Aerospace #SmartBeta #ETFs #NYSE #investment #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Most people feel that peacebuilding – resolving conflicts and decreasing violence –  is a positive thing. But as we've said many times on this podcast, peacebuilding is virtually invisible in the world. Today's guest, veteran mediator and peacebuilder Mark Gerzon, says to strengthen peace and reconciliation efforts, we need to make peacebuilding mainstream. And to do that, the reasons behind the practice need to be practical and more accessible to both the public and to donors. He says the messaging we've been using for years, grounded in a moral imperative for peace, isn't working. And today, he's working in the United States to train leaders to work across the partisan divide. Gerzon has served as advisor to the UN Development Program and multinational corporations.  He is president of the Mediators Foundation, an incubator for social action projects that bridge divides around the world, and has authored several books on the topic of polarization and reconciliation. LEARN MORELeading Through Conflict and other books by Mark Gerzon Harvard Business Review: To Resolve a Conflict, First Decide: Is It Hot or Cold?Documentary by Mark Gerzon: The Reunited StatesMusic in this episode by Blue Dot Sessions and SFmusic.

Summary In this episode, Clayton Cuteri explores the topic of energy and its importance in our lives. He discusses the inefficiencies and dangers of nuclear energy, the wastefulness of our current energy infrastructure, and the suppression of innovative technologies. Clayton also presents solutions, such as generating electricity from footsteps, capturing energy from highways and bridges, and harnessing the power of ocean waves. He emphasizes the need for government subsidies to reduce electricity costs for residential homes and reallocate military spending towards clean energy initiatives.Clayton's Social MediaTikTok | Instagram | Twitter (X) | YouTubeSourcesAI Servers and Energy 12% of US Energy is Renewable 1 MILLION Year Nuclear Waste66% of Energy Wasted1971 Patents Secrecy ListFootstep Energy: VideoHighway and Bridge EnergyOcean Wave EnergyTimecodes00:00 - The Importance of Energy and Its Challenges02:49 - The Inefficiencies and Dangers of Nuclear Energy09:07 - The Long-Term Waste and Environmental Risks of Nuclear Energy15:53 - The Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Its Consequences24:04 - Innovative Technologies for Energy Generation28:15 - Government Subsidies and Reallocation of Military Spending33:07 - Towards a Holistic and Sustainable Energy FutureSend Clayton a text message!Support the Show.Clayton's Campaign: Clayton24.comFREE 999 Meditation Challenge: Sign Up Here

  Esteemed historian Dr. Horne joins us for an eye-opening discussion about his new book, "Armed Struggle? Panthers and Communists, Black Nationalists and Liberals in Southern California through the 60s and 70s." This episode dives deep into the intricacies of organizing under capitalism, informed by Dr. Horne's personal experiences with the Black Panther Party. We also revisit his thought-provoking analysis of Washington DC, where the paradox of power and race reveals much about the foundational myths of the United States. Dr. Horne challenges us to rethink the historical narratives that shape our understanding of American history, particularly the events of 1776 and their limited impact on indigenous peoples and enslaved populations. Our conversation does not shy away from the hard truths of America's political landscape. We explore the historical decisions of the NAACP and their relevance to modern activism, the arduous task of campaigning against military spending, and the pressing need for a revitalized labor movement. Dr. Horne discusses "settler colonialism" and unpacks its implications, both historically and in today's context, touching on issues like Cherokee assimilation and class collaboration. We also address the counterrevolution against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and the precarious future for undocumented workers should Trump return to office. This multifaceted episode promises to be as enlightening as it is thought-provoking.

All NATO members are required to spend the equivalent of 2% of GDP on their military, and Canada has always fallen short of that benchmark. But now, more frequent domestic crises, mounting geopolitical turmoil, and harsh rhetoric from south of the border, may mean that it's time to put up or shut up when it comes to military spending. So where do the biggest gaps in our capabilities exist? How difficult will it be to remedy them? And what sort of military do we as Canadians actually want? GUEST: Matt Gurney, Columnist, Co-founder of The Line We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.
