The Administration's latest Canada-related proclamations show that trade enforcement is moving beyond higher tariffs to include outright import bans on targeted products. Importers, customs brokers, manufacturers, and supply chain managers should now account for the risk that covered goods may be excluded entirely from the U.S. market.

He and his team believe that over the past 3 years, the war has essentially looked exactly the same with only minor changes - but that has now changed and after 3 years, we have now entered a new and very different phase of the war. And after 3 years of relative stability, things are now quickly becoming a lot more volatile, unpredictable and potentially a lot more dangerous. From the frontlines where both sides are increasingly pushing forward and using new tactics, the long-range campaigns are becoming increasingly destructive and intense to Russia, potentially preparing to attack a NATO member in the coming months and throw hundreds of thousands of new soldiers on the battlefield. And as the final limits that the war seemed to still have so far are increasingly coming off - it seems that things are about to get really out of control.
In this powerful interview, Emilio Ortiz sits down with intuitive healer, spirit traveler, and author Sonja Grace for a deep exploration of time travel, humanity's future, ancient civilizations, extraterrestrial life, consciousness, Earth changes, solar flares, Atlantis, Lemuria, reincarnation, meditation, and spiritual awakening. After more than four decades of meditation and inner exploration, Sonja describes how her guides take her beyond ordinary perceptions of time and space, including journeys into ancient Egypt, Atlantis, off-world civilizations, and a potential future timeline roughly ten years from now. She shares what she believes happened during the fall of Atlantis, including extraterrestrial “star people,” advanced nuclear technology, comets, ice ages, shifting land masses, and the beginning of new cycles of humanity. The conversation also explores Pleiadians, aliens, extraterrestrial agendas, the Galactic Federation, demigods, angels, Osiris, Sekhmet, the Great Sphinx, pyramids, Antarctica, ancient Egypt, UFO disclosure, AI, robots, solar activity, planetary cycles, and the evolution of human consciousness.✦ Join Emilio's Private Community – The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-dive/Later, Sonja reveals one of the most unsettling future experiences her guides have shown her: a possible version of the world approximately ten years ahead in which part of the landscape appeared like a wasteland, with people and homes gone. Crucially, she emphasizes that this future is not predetermined and that humanity still participates in shaping what comes next. Emilio and Sonja explore whether civilizations repeat ancient patterns, why memories of Atlantis and Lemuria may still resonate within us, how spiritual discernment becomes increasingly important in an age of AI and extraterrestrial speculation, and why humanity must reclaim trust, responsibility, connection to the Earth, and care for water. The conversation ultimately moves beyond psychic prediction and prophecy into healing, the inner child, emotional trauma, manifestation, surrender, God, angelic consciousness, past lives, spiritual practice, the future of humanity, and our collective ability to choose a different timeline.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 – Sonja Grace Intro01:04 - Are We Entering a New Ice Age?04:19 - Solar Flares & Earth's Coming Changes07:00 - How Sonja Learned to Spirit Travel10:19 - Time Travel vs. Astral Projection12:41 - What Really Happened to Atlantis?20:35 - Are We Entering a New Phase of Humanity?28:58 - Reclaiming the Divine Inner Child33:20 - The Pleiadians as Humanity's “Watchers”39:29 - Spirit Traveling to Other Planets43:45 - The Problem With “Instant Enlightenment”48:47 - How to Connect With the Angelic Realm52:42 - Sonja Travels 10 Years Into Humanity's Future56:17 - Traveling Back to Ancient Egypt01:00:51 - The Greatest Lesson From 45 Years of Spirit Travel01:07:53 - What Could Be Hidden Beneath Antarctica?01:11:13 - The Greatest Mystery in the Universe01:15:05 - Why Her Guides Show Her These Timelines01:17:43 - How Humanity Can Change the Future___________________Guest: Sonja Grace, Spirit Traveler✦ Website | https://sonjagrace.com/✦ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/mystichealersonjagrace/✦ Books | https://sonjagrace.com/store.html#booksHost: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtiz___________________© 2026 Emilio Ortiz.

PRODUCTION CREDITS Host & Editor: Lindsey Dinneen Producer: Velentium Medical EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Episode 087 - Ofer Shalev [00:00:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Hi, I'm Lindsey and I'm talking with MedTech industry leaders on how they change lives for a better world. [00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I'm delighted to welcome as my guest, Ofer Shalev. Ofer is the co-founder and CEO of New Phase. With more than twenty-five years of management experience in the high-tech and biotech industries, Ofer leads New Phase operations and is pioneering a breakthrough nanotechnology-based treatment to transform the management of stage four cancer. Ofer combines deep technological insight with strategic business acumen. He previously served as CEO of several technology companies, including ReDent Nova, which led innovation in dental medical devices alongside his co-founder, Dr. Rafael Hof. Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership roles in the banking sector, including serving as VP of Operations, which strengthened his foundation in large-scale operational excellence. He holds an MBA from the University of Edinburgh and is recognized for guiding multidisciplinary teams, driving complex R&D initiatives, and scaling companies from concept to global market presence. At the core of his work is a clear mission: to redefine the future of cancer care by offering patients a safer, more targeted, and more effective treatment, one that not only attacks tumors but also preserves the quality of life. All right. Well, welcome to the show. I am so thankful you're here today. [00:02:09] Ofer Shalev: Thank you, Lindsey. Good evening. Very nice to meet you. [00:02:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Very nice to meet you too. So I would love, if you wouldn't mind starting off by just sharing a little bit about yourself, your background, and what led you to medtech? [00:02:25] Ofer Shalev: Well, I would say that during the year, I had extensive managerial experience across many multiple sector, including industry, high-tech, banking, and obvious-obviously life science. I have also to mention that about fifty years ago, in my experience I was a fighter pilot, pilot in the Israeli Air Force. It was, again, about fifty years ago. I would say that it probably significantly shape who am I today. I mean, it's developed my ability to to take a calculated risk, for example, or to act quickly and precisely to plan ahead, to build contingency plans. So all that kind of thing that probably was very relevant to the time I, I w- I used to serve in the Israeli Air Force, but also very relevant to the, to the industry. Okay? And furthermore, I would like to say that probably I am highly motivated by challenge. It, it's make my day. In addition, I am a father to four children and a grandfather of seven grandchildren. And I do hope that at the end, I will have about twelve grandchildren. So, the kids have still to work about it. Yeah. And I would say that you asked about myself, so probably I have a very, very strong belief in the path, in the way that I'm choosing. It's I would say, enabl-enabling to, to overcome about the difficulties, mainly when you're looking for challenge, especially in, in a new and unfamiliar field, like in our case of New Phase And furthermore, I, I, I, I truly believe in the word "never give up." You will find solution to everything. Never give up. I like very much as I mentioned before, to, to meet a challenge and to overcome our challenge many times by breaking some problem into pieces and then to assemble it again. Furthermore, I would say we, we met many, many problems in our life. I, I think that we have to focus about the solution, not about the problems. You cannot change problems. It's happened. But let's try to find and, and to think about how to find the right solution to it. And I would say that I, I f- I feel very, very, very good to to operate or to, to function in a turbulent area. I mean, I like it very much. I, I know that not, not, not anyone like it, but I feel very good in, in this area. [00:04:59] Lindsey Dinneen: Wonderful. Well, thank you for sharing a bit about your background. I have so many questions, but I would love to actually learn about what you're doing right now with New Phase, because I know you're passionate about it. There's, there's a lot that goes into cancer research and treatment, and I know that that's been such a challenge for so many years, and I love the fact that your company is really diving into that challenge and tackling it. And I was just wondering if you could explain where the concept of New Phase came from, and what exactly makes your company so unique in this space? [00:05:39] Ofer Shalev: So the, the idea came that it was 14, 14, 15 years ago, while me and my partner, Dr. Rafael Hof, we were involved with some other company, and after that at that time his mother, her name was Sarah, she wa- she had lung cancer. She passed away. And during that time, we have a very, I mean, many time conversation about the disease. No, no, no, none one, none one of us is, was oncologist, okay, by training. But we have many, many discussion about the treatment what are the relevant treatment that are available, et cetera, et cetera. And after she passed away we, I mean, Rafi, who is a great technology guy, came with this idea of nanoparticles and hyperthermia, and we start to work about it. Again, we have to learn, both of us, we have to learn a new area of technology, of biology, of chemistry, of physics, engineering, regulation, everything. And it was not only that we have read and learn about it, but we decide al-also to, let's say, to, to jump into the pool, into the water. We put each one of them, each one of us put some money. We hire some chemist. We also hire from one of the university in Israel some space. Like you, I mean, usually, I, I believe it's the right way to develop a company. I mean, to start and building it, the company, in the garage, okay? Right. And, and, and sure, you have, you have to-- you cannot just think about it, you have to, to, to do something. And the outcome was actually the proof of concept. We show in the in vitro, under microscope, how some very, very primitive nanoparticles were being irradiate, caused damage to the cancer cells. And that was the time that we founded New Phase. I truly believe that it's the right approach that first you have by yourself to, to deliver, to show the proof of concept, then go to investor and try to convince them to, to invest in your in your company. So that was what we have done. It was a very, very long way. I mean, the company was founded just 13 years ago. The vision didn't change. I mean, from the beginning, the idea was to prolong life of cancer patient, and in order-- and in addition to maintain the quality of life. At that time we used the word of chronic treatment or managing the disease, and many of the people that we met, skeptical one said, "But you, you don't cure the disease." So we explained that as we see in the next twenty years, nobody will cure the disease, but for the meantime, people have to live. [00:08:35] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. [00:08:36] Ofer Shalev: Now, the vision is still today. It was implemented into a technology. But yes, the technology was changed several time along the year, but the vision is still here, and that is, that is the, the outcome as of today. We already treated thirty-three patient with stage four, six of them in a Mayo Clinic, very distinguished hospital. I mean, I would say ranked number one worldwide. A great cooperation with them. I would say that till the summertime, we will treat another six patient, and after we move to the feasibility study, where we will have to choose few indication, and we will add another to a US hospital to join to the feasibility study. It become a product. As I mentioned, we treated already thirty-three patient. We have about fourteen patents that already granted. We have about, since we are-- we truly believe that we are in a deep science company, so we truly believe in the, in the scientifics based evidence, and we already publish nine peer review scientific articles. We have done a lot of work and success with FDA. First, and again, it was a breakthrough idea to, to succeed and get designation of medical device. Although we inject infused nanoparticle into the body, but we convinced the FDA that although we infuse nanoparticle, hence our mode of action, primary mode of action is actually engineering one or physical one, and therefore we were, we were designated as a medical device, which again save a lot of budget and, and time while reaching to the clinical study. And then later on, we got the IDE, I mean, the, the approval to start clinical study in the US. So we have done a very, very long way, and I would say that it's very satisfying while seeing today that first of all, we have a product, not only idea, and the vision is still here. I mean, what we can see that we... many of the patient, although it in the early feasibility study, and the main goal is to achieve safety and to show it's non-toxic. So even though we succeeded in more than about sixty percent of the cases we treated in nine different indication of cancer to reach to a stable disease. Let's say after one month of follow-up, the tumor metastasis are the same size, and there were no new lesion during that time. So, yeah, we-- I would say that it start, it start-- it seems that we start to reach to the, to the real game in the feasibility study where we will focus about two to three indication, and the idea is to treat patient for at least, let's say, six months, and to show that we can, we can keep them in a status of stable disease. [00:11:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:11:45] Ofer Shalev: Further, furthermore, all the patients that we got, all of them are metastatic stage, let's say stage four, which exhausted all other treatment. So many time, you can see that in the retrospective data, before the joining to the study, the tumors or metastases have a progression rate of so and so percent per month, and after our treatment is dramatically reduced or even stopped. So, a lot of enthusiasm with the current status. [00:12:18] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of hope. I, I love what you're doing because, yeah, as you said, I mean, at that point, people probably feel so stuck and hopeless. And so to be able to learn that there is technology that is being actively worked on that can... [00:12:36] Ofer Shalev: Yeah. [00:12:36] Lindsey Dinneen: ...really help them [00:12:38] Ofer Shalev: Yeah, yeah. We are-- you also ask what, what we-- what, what is the difference that we bring to the market? [00:12:42] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. [00:12:44] Ofer Shalev: So the hyperthermia is well-known for many, many years to be a useful way to treat cancer. Okay? Because cancer don't have resistance to hyperthermia. And let's skip about all the biology factor, but this is a well, well-written evidence in, in the literature. So, but usually all the current hyperthermia methodology is a local treatment, meaning you have to define where the tumor is, CT, MRI, whatever, and to try, try to heat this tumor either by infrared or with-- or inject directly nanoparticles into the tumor, et cetera, et cetera. What we are offering is a totally a new approach of treating systemically in tumors at stage four. Let's say in many cases, you don't know even where the tumors are in the volume of treatment, meaning we treat the torso area. It's not that we are trying to find tumor by tumor. No. We're treating the whole area of the torso, and by that we can destroy the tumor, which in stage four are localized in, in different area in it. So this is one thing. The other thing that I would say that the stage four mainly people that exhausted other treatment is really can be considered as a unmet need. And that's, that's the population that we are focused about. That, that's the population that we are focused about. [00:14:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, that is really incredible to hear. I, I love what you're doing. I'm curious, as you've gone about this process and f- you know, 13 years worth of learnings and growing as a company, what is something that's really surprised you along the way? [00:14:34] Ofer Shalev: Surprise? Well, you know, I said before, when, when you, when you start this this journey with a deep s-- belief in yourself and in your team, you're not really surprised. [00:14:49] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. [00:14:50] Ofer Shalev: Yeah, I mean, no, there is a lot of surprise. I mean, we, we went in an area which nobody stepped before in the, in those days. Nobody stepped before. But I would say it was obvious to me at least that okay, we are thinking about the right approach. We are trying to find our way. We invest a lot about trying to read whatever is relevant. We are speaking with oncologists, learn from them in many time about the failure, and try to make sure not to do it. So I'm not surprised. I'm very happy. And again, it's not... It was not by accident. On one hand, a very strong belief, and on the other hand, in-depth learning every piece of knowledge that we were able to collect [00:15:33] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, that's so important, and I appreciate you saying it that way. I think intentionality is such a key component of leadership, and this is some of the conversations that I'm enjoying having lately is, h- and I'd love to get your input, is how do you go about intentionally creating the right team, the right vision, and the right culture to support the fact that you don't have to be surprised by things? You get to be happy, but you have the right framework in place. [00:16:08] Ofer Shalev: So I would say that in terms of the team, it was changed and replaced along the way. [00:16:15] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. [00:16:17] Ofer Shalev: At the beginning... By the way, even today we have we have, we have twenty-four employees. Six of them are PhD Along the way, since we need people that know how to read articles, how to analyze article, et cetera. So I would say that we have in a, in a, in a company of about six, seven employees, three or four of them were PhD. There was a lot of self-learning to do. Later on, we start to make, "Okay, we have to develop. We have to build a product." So obviously, we, we, we mixed this team with people that came f- with some experience from the industry. Furthermore, experience from the medical device industry. Okay? So I would say along the time the, the, the population in New Phase become to be more heterogeneous. [00:17:08] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. Mm-hmm. [00:17:10] Ofer Shalev: Because really we-- you-- I mean, currently we have a product, so we need people about regulation, about quality, people that know very well engineering, people that have a idea about operation and not only researcher. But again, at, at the beginning, all, all our employee came from the... I mean, we, we, we, we re recruit about I think three or four PhD at the beginning to start with, and it will change along the way. Yeah. Now about-- you ask about leadership. So, I would say that I ca- I can see the leadership not only about, about leading people, but also about pushing your vision. Okay? Because again at the beginning, an idea of changing the cancer disease into a manageable disease, it was not so well accepted idea. Anyone ask about curing, but we keep saying, "No, there is no, there's no g- currently, there's not a real good chance of curing. Let's focus about prolonging life." Nowadays, it's common language. You can see from any, any drug company discuss the issue of manage- manageable disease. But when we start with this vision, it was very hard to convince people about it, and obviously many of them said in a very skeptical way, "You will not make it." [00:18:29] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm. [00:18:29] Ofer Shalev: So this part of the leadership as well, "Okay, I heard you. Let's, let's meet at the end of the day and we'll see what hap- who, who is the right one." So, yeah. So I would say that in our case, leadership is, is mainly to, to maintain the vision, to push the vision, to develop the vision. Partially it's about, a- about employees, sure, because at the end you have to recruit employees that will implement this vision into a technology, into a product But I would say that in a company like New Phase, the, the leadership is as more than 50% is about the vision. [00:19:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, pushing the vision forward. I, I really appreciate that. I, you know, you had so many things at the beginning that you were talking about that I really appreciated. You talked about never giving up, overcoming difficulties, and loving challenges, and I think all of those are critical, of course, as an entrepreneur. But I'm also particularly curious about your h- you mentioned that you break down challenges into pieces and then rebuild, and I'm curious, where did that philosophy come from and how do you practically implement it? [00:19:48] Ofer Shalev: Frankly speaking, I don't know from where it came. No, I don't know. I mean, you know, with... Du-during the way, I, I, I had many, many chance to, to, to rethinking about some problem that we solved, and I asked myself, "How the hell we know what to do?" I, I don't know, frank- In, in many times, I would say that main-ma-mainly because we try to simplify the problem to pieces, and then we have a breakthrough id-idea about it. It is not-- I mean, the methodology is about breaking the problem into pieces. How to assemble it again, this is a breakthrough. I don't know how to explain it. [00:20:32] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. [00:20:33] Ofer Shalev: really. [00:20:33] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, but do you find that maybe taking it apart and so probab- maybe part of it is, I wonder, you know, when you've got a challenge, it feels big and insurmountable, and you can't make any progress versus if you break it down and you go, "Okay, yeah, maybe this as a whole feels t- like too much, but what about this one little piece that if I can overcome this, then it will push me forward in overcoming the ultimate challenge?" I wonder if it's partly... [00:21:02] Ofer Shalev: It, it, it might be, it might be the situation. It's simple to, to deal with a, with a simple or with a, with a partial challenge, partial partial problems. And then it says, "Okay, I, I, I solved this issue. Let's try to solve another issue." And all of a sudden, you figure out that, "Hey, I have the full picture. I solve it." [00:21:23] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's, that's really cool. Okay. So, you know, you've had an amazing career, and not just within this space of course, but before that, and I'm just wondering if maybe especially along this particular journey with New Phase, are there any moments that really stand out to you as affirming, "Wow, I am in the right place at the right time in the right industry"? [00:21:54] Ofer Shalev: Yes. I, I, you know, I, I think that it's... No, it will, it will par-- it will par-- I, I will answer you partially. I mean, once we decided to founder the company and that myself and my partner, Dr. Rafael Hof, we have after another company that we, we had, and we-- And when he came with this idea, I thought to myself, "If there are two entrepreneur worldwide that are able to deal with that problem, it's probably the two of us." Yeah. Ab-absolutely. Yeah. [00:22:31] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:22:32] Ofer Shalev: Because the way that we work together, the w- the way that we each one of each one of us cover different area, how to build this kind of a crazy idea. I would say that really just only, you know, two people that are crazy enough and can work so well together can deal and succeed in this task. So this is the kind of, of, of of memory that I have from the beginning of the company. [00:22:57] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. I love that. That's, that's really cool. You, you know, you mentioned also at the beginning that some of your experience as a pilot was really critical in helping you learn different skills or disciplines that help you succeed throughout your career and today. Do you mind just talking a little bit more about some of the things that you still hold onto as really important lessons learned? [00:23:24] Ofer Shalev: Okay, know, to be in a, in a cockpit of a fighter i-- of a, of a fighter airplane, I mean, just ones that was there can, can understand what I'm speaking about. But it's a who- the whole way of thinking. So I would say that from time to time, when I have quite, quite a big challenge, I, I, I imagine to myself that I'm in the cockpit, okay? In order to, to think the same way that you used to think fifty years ago. Okay? Now with, wi-with, with regarding with regarding it to to some advice, okay? To to some to some other entrepreneur, let's call it this way. So, I would say that first of all, choose a real breakthrough idea. Not an idea that, okay that probably someone else did before or will do it after-- will, will make it after you. Try to find a real breakthrough idea to... Because, you know, at the end, you, you sacrifice a, a big piece of your life about it. [00:24:24] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. [00:24:25] Ofer Shalev: So try to find something which is real, real something. This is one. Then you have to have a very strong backbone and remain committed to your vision. Yes, you might change the technology, that's okay, but you have to be committed to your vision. And furthermore, probably many times along the way, you will hear from people you will not succeed, it's the wrong way, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So nowadays, when I hear this kind of a voice, I say, "Why don't you open the startup of yourself? If you know it so well, why don't you open? Because you don't have the courage?" [00:25:06] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. [00:25:08] Ofer Shalev: And yes, courage is, is, is, is another component which is very important to entrepreneur that choose a way how to change the world. [00:25:18] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm. Yeah. I love that. Thank you for sharing. Okay, so pivoting the conversation a little bit just for fun, imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a master class on anything you want. Could be within your industry, doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach? [00:25:40] Ofer Shalev: I don't know how to do it, but I will say it in other ways. I probably to, to, to, to teach people how to avoid or what to do while you are in a dead end. [00:25:52] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. Okay. Do you wanna elaborate a little bit? 'Cause I'm curious. [00:26:00] Ofer Shalev: I think that, that, that your ability really to believe in yourself is a key factor. [00:26:05] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. [00:26:06] Ofer Shalev: Your ability to, to free your mind, not to focus about the current problem, but to free your mind, going outside and try to find some other idea is quite important one. [00:26:18] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:26:18] Ofer Shalev: Yeah, those kinds of things. Probably we have to think about this kind of a masterclass. [00:26:23] Lindsey Dinneen: That would be a great masterclass, yeah. Okay. All right. [00:26:27] Ofer Shalev: By the way, I, I truly believe that in order... I mean, at least that's what I'm doing. But I, I besides that I'm working very hard, I try to read many books. It might be biography, it might be historical novel, it might be by... it might be a thriller. I try to be very, very diverse in what I am reading. I believe it's, it's just fruitful my mind, and not to focus about only about some scientific articles. [00:26:56] Lindsey Dinneen: That's... I love that. That's great. All right. And how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:27:06] Ofer Shalev: Well, it's not something that I particularly concerned about it, truly. I don't, I, I don't... I, I, I will say fir- I will say something else. I truly believe that true leader are not focused about what people will remember about them. It is important that the vision will stay. It's important that a father and mother, or children that have cancer in the family will be able to live longer life with a better quality of life. It's much more important if people know, "Hey, Ofer Shalev bring this technology to the market." [00:27:45] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. [00:27:46] Ofer Shalev: That, that the way I see it. I mean, I don't care too much what will people remember after I leave this world. [00:27:53] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. No, that's, that's beautiful. I love that. Okay, and then final question: What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:28:04] Ofer Shalev: Well, that is very, that is very easy. You know, when you have so many, so many grandchildren, so, to hear the questions "Why did, why did it happen?" "Why the bird is flying so high?" The, the truth and simplicity of children and the way that they are thinking, that's really something that make, I think, everybody smiling about it. [00:28:28] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's so fun, and I couldn't agree more. I I have a few nieces and a nephew, and getting to, to sort of see the world again through their eyes and perspective is just really fun. It's just, it's joyful. [00:28:44] Ofer Shalev: Yeah, it's a great chance to hear about a simple way of, of how the world should, should be. [00:28:49] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Curiosity. I love the never-ending curiosity. [00:28:52] Ofer Shalev: And asking many questions. It's very-- I mean, asking question is, is a great, is a great benefit. [00:28:58] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. [00:28:58] Ofer Shalev: Ask as many questions as you can. [00:29:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Your whole life. [00:29:01] Ofer Shalev: Yeah. [00:29:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Excellent. Well, this has been such a great recording. I really appreciate you sharing your your vision especially about New Phase and where you hope that the company will go and, and the lives that it'll impact. And I know you're well on your way, and I just wanna thank you for not listening to the people who said, "This is not gonna happen," or were trying to discourage you.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the US says economic pressure on Iran could prevent a return to large-scale fighting, with Vice President JD Vance describing the war as entering a “new phase” and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promising further measures on Monday. We also examine escalating tensions between Israel and Turkey over their military presence in Syria, after Israel accuses Ankara of planning to station troops at an airbase struck by Israeli warplanes. In Gaza, aid deliveries rise sharply, but shortages of engine oil and spare parts are putting more lorries out of service and making it increasingly difficult to get supplies to Palestinians. And investment in completed Dubai property projects jumps 52 per cent to Dh111 billion in the first half of the year, while UAE schools prepare to welcome more than a million pupils back to classrooms with existing safety measures remaining in place after this week's missile alert.

While diversification remains a priority, economic fundamentals are once again taking precedence in investment decisions as central banks navigate a more fragmented global landscape. Max Castelli, head of strategy for sovereign institutions, and Philipp Salman, director of strategy for sovereign institutions at UBS Asset Management, join Yara Aziz, senior economist at OMFIF, to unpack the main takeaways from UBS' 32nd Reserve Management Seminar. They discuss why economic fundamentals are returning to the centre of reserve management, what geopolitics means for investors, and how central banks are thinking about diversification, the dollar and gold.
Today on the show, after Ukraine said it struck more than 100 Russian vessels over nine days in the sea near Russian-held Crimea, Fareed speaks with Russian journalist Mikhail Zygar about how this new phase of the conflict could finally be provoking a reckoning in Russia. Next, Fareed talks to Mark Mazzetti, a New York Times reporter who helped break an astonishing report that Israel worked to groom the former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as an intelligence asset. Then, have we reached the end of reading? Fareed asks Atlantic writer Rose Horowitch, whose cover story suggests we're getting dangerously close to that point. Finally, as Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film “The Odyssey” hit theaters this week, many are asking how it holds up against Homer's classic. Fareed sits down with writer and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn.

The conflict with Iran is entering a far more dangerous stage as military operations expand beyond traditional battlefield targets and increasingly focus on critical infrastructure across the region. This episode of STRAT has retired Marine Intelligence Officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer examining the strategic implications of U.S. strikes against bridges, energy facilities, and ports in Iran, alongside Iran's retaliatory attacks on Gulf desalination plants that provide drinking water for millions. Kempfer explains why these facilities represent highly vulnerable strategic targets and how attacks on Gulf infrastructure could fundamentally change the calculations of regional governments. The discussion also explores the growing possibility that Gulf nations—including the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and potentially Saudi Arabia—could become active combatants, dramatically increasing military pressure on Iran. Finally, the episode analyzes the strategic importance of disputed islands controlling the Strait of Hormuz and why their future could significantly reshape regional security, maritime commerce, and the balance of power throughout the Middle East.Takeaways:The war has shifted toward attacks on critical civilian infrastructure with major strategic consequences.Gulf desalination plants are exceptionally vulnerable and essential to regional survival.U.S. strikes suggest preparations for expanded and sustained air operations.Iran's attacks may remove the remaining political barriers preventing Gulf states from joining the conflict.Regional military participation could dramatically increase the scale of strikes against Iran.Covert operations targeting Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps have become increasingly plausible.Control of disputed islands in the Strait of Hormuz could reshape regional military balance.The conflict appears to be entering a prolonged and significantly more dangerous phase.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #Iran #MiddleEast #StraitOfHormuz #PersianGulf #NationalSecurity #Geopolitics #MilitaryAnalysis #RegionalSecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #Desalination #USMilitary #IranConflict #GulfStates #DefenseAnalysis #ForeignPolicy #GlobalSecurity
In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: The battle for the Strait of Hormuz is entering a dangerous new chapter. We examine why the Trump administration has once again shifted its strategy against Iran—and what that tells us about where the war is headed. The remnants of Russia's Wagner mercenary force have reportedly traded the battlefield for the drug trade. We look at allegations that former Wagner fighters are operating a growing opioid empire in one of Africa's most lawless regions. The Trump administration launches a new campaign against the International Criminal Court, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowing to curb the tribunal's influence and shield Americans from its jurisdiction. In today's Back of the Brief, Congress moves to honor the late Senator Lindsey Graham by reviving one of his signature priorities: a sweeping new package of sanctions targeting Russia.

The Small Business Administration is ramping up its relationship with Palantir, announcing a “new phase” in its anti-fraud work with the data analytics and software giant. In a press release Tuesday, the SBA said it's formalizing and expanding its work with Palantir after signing a $300,000 contract in January for a fraud prevention pilot and bootcamp. That deal had a projected end date of April 4, but the agency said in the release that the “collaboration” with Palantir will now continue through “ongoing efforts to identify, investigate, and help prosecute fraud in pandemic-era small business relief programs.” The agency pointed specifically to its Paycheck Protection Program and COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan program as areas previously beset by fraud. SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said in a statement that the Palantir partnership “will strengthen our ability to expose fraudulent actors, support criminal enforcement actions, and recover stolen funds with advanced technology and artificial intelligence.” “No amount of fraud is acceptable — whether it is $10,000 or $10 million — which is why the SBA is deploying these tools to accelerate our work to surface wrongdoing and ensure those who cheated taxpayer-funded programs face consequences,” she added. The National Institutes of Health selected Kristen Honey, a longtime government data and technology official, to head up its coordination of public-private research partnerships. In a social media post, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT announced Honey as the inaugural official in the NIH role. As part of her duties, Honey will help “to build robust partnership models, reduce duplication, improve transparency, and move promising ideas from concept to execution with greater speed and consistency in collaboration with” ONC and across the department, per the post. The chief partnerships officer role is housed in the Office of the Director's Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, per the post. “The ‘wicked problems' that I run toward—complex, interdisciplinary challenges no one wants to own and that require cross-sector solutions—just got bigger. Joining NIH as Chief Partnerships Officer,” Honey said in a LinkedIn post. Honey has served in various HHS and White House roles over the past decade — including as HHS's chief data officer. Honey was initially installed as CDO after President Joe Biden's administration reorganization of its IT, data and artificial intelligence portfolio. Her time as CDO, however, appears to have ended after the Trump administration undid that reorganization in March, per her LinkedIn. Since then, she has listed her role as senior executive service. Currently, Arman Sharma, HHS's deputy chief AI officer, is listed as the agency's top data official on the CDO Council webpage. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore Microsoft's shift to usage-based Copilot Cowork pricing and what it reveals about the changing economics of enterprise AI. Highlights 00:10 — Microsoft is moving Copilot Cowork from a fixed-price subscription model to usage-based pricing, and this is really reflecting the fact that heavy users are racking up massive compute costs compared to others. 00:55 — More and more, the focus is shifting to how organizations can scale those (AI) capabilities in a way that's financially stable, but beyond that, Microsoft has also said that it's considering a Microsoft-hosted version of DeepSeek as a lower-cost model alternative. 01:16 — Right now, at the moment, Copilot Cowork workloads are powered by models from OpenAI and Anthropic. We should expect to hear from Microsoft regarding DeepSeek, or another low-cost model choice, within the coming weeks. 01:32 — So, what are we really seeing here? Well, Microsoft's AI strategy is evolving beyond simply offering access to the most powerful models. Increasingly, it's about giving customers the right balance of performance, economics, and choice. 01:49 — This is also highlighting, for me, a big divide between how governments and businesses view the AI race. Governments often frame this AI race as a competition between nations, but enterprises are more likely to focus on which models deliver the best outcomes at the lowest cost for their customers.

The 109-day-old Iran crisis is heading toward an off-ramp in the form of a not-yet-public Memorandum of Understanding to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. While energy markets are celebrating with a sell-off, the actual operational future of the waterway chokepoint remains unclear. Navigable shipping corridors remain constricted by mines, hundreds of vessels are still trapped, and full recovery could take months. Furthermore, the ground rules have fundamentally shifted, according to reports that Iran intends to enforce its own regulatory protocols and collect mandatory "service fees" for passage. The global energy map has been deeply altered by a crisis that disrupted as much as 20 million barrels a day, revealing long-term vulnerabilities. How will this 60-day ceasefire window play out as negotiations face roadblocks over nuclear and sanctions issues? And how will the region's oil producers permanently adapt to this new phase of accommodation with Tehran? Today, host Daniel Sternoff sits down with Center on Global Energy Policy experts Karen Young, Richard Nephew, and Ira Joseph. They break down the strategic, economic, and logistical realities behind this "paper peace," and what the US-Iran deal means for the future of global energy security. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff, Bill Loveless, and Daniel Sternoff. Produced by Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee. Engineering by Gregory Vilfranc.

Is the Ukraine war entering a new phase? - Professor Olexiy Haran. by Radio Islam
- The episode frames the moment as a turning point: people stop being afraid of being called racist, transphobic, or worse, and start openly rejecting the identity rules that shaped politics for years. - Tennessee and Virginia become proof of that shift, with race-based districting taking direct hits and Democrats left arguing that replacing entrenched power with a black Republican is somehow oppression. - Justin Pearson is cast as pure performance, a privilege-soaked activist playing revolutionary while melting down over a map that destroys his path to Congress. - Spencer Pratt keeps gaining traction in Los Angeles by doing the one thing career politicians refuse to do: speak bluntly about fire failures, homeless chaos, union power, and civic collapse. - The broader message is ruthless and simple: the old intimidation tactics are losing their grip, and once the fear breaks, the whole political script starts falling apart.

IT'S BEEN A WEEK!!! Lizz and Moji have been chugging Imodium the last seven days as they follow the twists and turns of the Fifth Circus Court ruling that created a federal ban and put the mail distribution of the abortion pill mifepristone on the chopping block.

Chinese Vice President Han Zheng was in Kenya this week, where he oversaw the first shipment of agricultural products that will enter the Chinese market duty-free. There's a lot of excitement across the continent about China's removal of all import tariffs for goods from 53 African countries. But Yan Liang, an economics professor at Willamette University, argues it's not going to make much of a difference to reduce the swelling trade deficit that most African countries now have with China. Yan joins Eric to discuss a recent paper she wrote that explores China's evolving economic relationship with Africa and how the continent's lack of industrial capacity, among other factors, will keep the trade relationship between these two regions largely intact.

President Trump says the war in Iran is won, but with the Strait of Hormuz still on edge, antisemitic attacks rising across the West and misinformation spreading fast, this episode asks the bigger question: did the war really end, or is a far more dangerous phase just beginning? The panel breaks down the state of the conflict, the fight over public opinion, the surge in conspiracy theories and what this moment means for Israel, Iran and the West.
Nearly a week into the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, President Trump demanded the Islamic Republic surrender, and again said he wants a hand in choosing the nation's next leader. The Iranian Red Crescent says more than 1,300 people have now been killed by the American-Israeli bombing. Leila Molana-Allen reports.

It's Friday, February 27th, A.D. 2026. 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 Islamic State's ‘new phase' in Syria as U.S. military withdraws Within the last week, the Islamic State terror group has launched an unusual series of attacks in Syria, part of what it calls a “new phase of operations” against the 11-month-old Syrian government, reports International Christian Concern. Simultaneously, the United States is actively withdrawing from bases in the area. Fighting between Syrian government forces and U.S.-allied Kurdish forces has weakened the resistance faced by the Islamic State. The terrorist group has been relatively inactive in and around Syria since its territorial defeat in 2019, instead shifting its focus to Africa. Syrian President Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa was previously a member of the Islamic State and is an avowed jihadist. While he's made bold public statements about his interest in peace and tolerance, forces associated with his government have repeatedly committed or allowed mass tragedies to take place. CNN: No clear Democratic presidential frontrunner CNN data analyst Harry Enten revealed that two years away from the 2028 Democratic presidential primary season, the party's prospects look dim, reports The Western Journal. Listen. ENTEN: “This is just a downright clown car at this point on the Democratic side. I mean, just take a look here: Top choices for the 2028 Dem. pres. nominee. You have a leader, but it's not really a clear leader. It's within the margin of error. You have [Gavin] Newsom at 19%, then you have former Vice President Kamala Harris at 18% -- quite a weak number for her, given that, of course, she was the nominee the last time around. Pete Buttigieg, who, of course, has run before: 13%. [Rep.] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [of New York] at 12%. “This is just a total clown car. It is a total mess. There is no clear front runner at this particular point on the Democratic side. This is very unusual for the Democratic side to not have a clear front runner. “At this point in 2020, when there was no incumbent, it was Joe Biden who was there, Hillary Clinton in both ‘08 and ‘16 and Al Gore in both 2000 and 2004 at this point were at least at 25%.” Picture leaked of Hillary Clinton in Epstein file inquiry Chaos erupted inside Hillary Clinton's Jeffrey Epstein deposition on Thursday after a Republican lawmaker took a photograph of her during the private session, reports the Daily Mail. Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado snapped a picture of Hillary at the deposition, then leaked it to conservative influencer Benny Johnson who offered his thoughts. JOHNSON: “Lauren Bobert sent me this photo and told me I could publish it just to show everyone that Hillary Clinton is testifying. It's not a big deal. This is what Hillary Clinton looks like. But her entire team lost their minds over this and started screeching about this. There's nothing wrong with posting this photo. The Clintons themselves are the ones who demanded that there be media inside of the room. They wanted this all be live streamed on TV. So, what's wrong with this? They're just looking for an excuse to get out of this testimony. That's what's actually going on.” Hillary's lawyers asked that the proceedings be halted after the photograph began circulating on social media. Johnson spoke to Hillary's motive and claimed she had already lied in a press statement she released ahead of her testimony. JOHNSON: “She's already lied, by the way. She said that she didn't know Jeffrey Epstein, but that's not true. Not only did her husband, of course, have Jeffrey Epstein at the White House a million times, fly on his plane a million times, but Jeffrey Epstein's own emails show that he knew her multiple times. “In Jeffrey Epstein's emails, he talks about what Hillary Clinton looks like up close. He talks about meetings with Hillary Clinton. All these people are emailing Jeffrey Epstein saying, ‘Hey, man, we know that you know Hillary Clinton. Can you get me a meeting with her?' So, this seems like an obvious lie. And this is what they're trying to distract from because I posted a photo?” The former secretary of state was deposed at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center near the Clintons' home in Westchester County, New York, while Bill Clinton will testify today. Indiana: Christian adoptive families & agencies can affirm Biblical ethic On Wednesday, Indiana Republican Governor Mike Braun signed HB 1389, a bill that ensures families and Christian adoption and foster care groups that want to provide loving homes for kids are not pushed out because of their religious or moral beliefs, reports Alliance Defending Freedom. Greg Chafuen, Senior Counsel for the Christian legal rights group, said, “Every child deserves a loving home that can provide them stability and opportunities to grow. The sad reality is that the government in some states has discriminated against people of faith, allowing vulnerable children to suffer. Thankfully, Indiana has taken critical steps to prioritize the well-being of kids.” The anti-God forces reject the truth of Genesis 2:24 which says, “A man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” How the late Jesse Jackson flip-flopped on abortion And finally, Rev. Jesse Jackson, who met his Creator on February 17th at the age of 84, was a civil rights activist and two-time presidential candidate in 1984 and 1988. Before he sold out to the abortion lobby in his aspiration to be Commander-in-Chief, LifeNews columnist Raimundo Rojas explained that Jackson “spoke with rare moral clarity about the child in the womb.” In a March 22,1973 interview, just two months after Roe v. Wade, Jackson told Jet magazine, “Abortion is genocide. Anything growing is living. … If you got the thrill to set the baby in motion, and you don't have the will to protect it, you're dishonest.” That same year Jackson said, "Abortion is too nice a word for something cold, like murder," according to the New York Times. In a column he wrote for National Right to Life News in January 1977, Jackson compared abortion to the old defenses of slavery. He warned that “the name has changed, but the game remains the same” when society strips the baby of protection. He spoke of new life with reverence, insisting, “It takes three to make a baby: a man, a woman, and the Holy Spirit.” Then ambition met party power. As Jesse Jackson moved toward a presidential run inside a Democratic Party that increasingly demanded loyalty to abortion, his public stance began to soften. By 1984, he described himself as “for freedom of choice, not pro-abortion,” and said that while he held a pro-life view, he did not want to “force” it on others through law. By 1988, he argued that “it is not right to impose private, religious and moral positions on public policy,” according to the Washington Post. Raimundo Rojas of LifeNews concluded, “The man who once called abortion genocide now treated his convictions as a private matter. Nothing in science or reason justified that turn. What changed was the political cost of speaking on behalf of the child. “His life holds a lesson for every believer and every political leader. You cannot keep your deepest convictions in one box and your public positions in another. Do not trade moral clarity for political convenience. Do not let party loyalty silence your conscience.” Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, February 27th, in the year of our Lord 2026.
