In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards delves into what he sees as a deliberate Democratic strategy to weaken America's military and police forces, particularly in Democrat-run "blue" cities, by purging experienced, conservative-leaning personnel. Drawing from discussions on military recruitment, post-George Floyd policing shifts, and "woke" policies, Clay argues that Democrats use tactics like vaccine mandates, transgender inclusion mandates, critical race theory training, and anti-police rhetoric to drive out "good cops" and "good soldiers"—those with high testosterone, traditional values, and a willingness to push back against progressive agendas. For the military, he points to eight years of Obama-era policies, followed by Biden's efforts to "wokify" the forces, including extremism screenings and purges that allegedly targeted right-leaning troops, reducing combat readiness and creating a more compliant institution reliant on globalism over U.S. exceptionalism. In blue cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Clay highlights how George Floyd backlash led to threats of jail for officers handling suspects roughly, demands for body cams (which ironically disproved many narratives and were later labeled "racist"), and diversity hires that prioritize equity over effectiveness, resulting in lazy or unqualified forces, skyrocketing crime, and chaos. He contends this isn't accidental: The resulting disorder funnels grant money to NGOs and 501(c)(3)s, keeps urban voters perpetually angry and dependent on Democratic "reforms," and enables reelection by blaming "systemic racism" rather than governance failures. Clay draws stark parallels to historical authoritarianism, warning that weakened institutions could lead to Democrats targeting conservatives, likening compliant hires to those who'd enforce mandates or even load trains to "Auschwitz-style" camps. Throughout, he emphasizes that the "money is in the medicine, not the cure," urging listeners to recognize how these purges erode law and order for political power.

Discover the chilling reality of illegal Chinese bio labs operating on U.S. soil and why these facilities represent a sophisticated threat to national security. This episode of the P.A.S. Report features retired FBI Supervisory Intel Analyst George Hill, who exposes the dangerous intersection of biological agents, foreign funding, and domestic disruption. As federal agencies receive billions in funding and remain silent, it was a local housing inspector who uncovered a high-level laboratory containing pathogens like Ebola and COVID-19 hidden in plain sight. Professor Nick Giordano and George Hill also examine the emergence of organized, insurgency-style movements, government complacency, and the political class's failure to respond to escalating threats. What You'll Learn Understand how Chinese bio labs in the U.S. create biological and strategic national security risks Discover why biological agents can function as weapons of mass disruption without traditional warfare Explore how foreign-funding and our tax dollars are being funneled to NGOs fueling domestic political instability Identify the warning signs of insurgency-style coordination across multiple U.S. cities Hear why current domestic tensions more closely resemble the Russian Bolshevik revolution than the civil unrest of the 1960s As geopolitical tensions rise and internal divisions deepen, vigilance and accountability are no longer optional.

Stephen Shames: A Lifetime in Photography – Lessons on Social Documentary, the Black Panthers, and Child Poverty (Part 1) Introduction In the latest episode of “10 Frames per Second,” host Molly & Joe interview legendary American photojournalist Stephen Shames. Over a 50‑year career, Shames has documented everything from the Black Panther Party to child poverty in America, testifying before the U.S. Senate and publishing twelve monographs. If you're a photographer, journalist, activist, or anyone who cares about visual storytelling, this interview is a goldmine. Below we break down the most actionable takeaways, organize them into easy‑to‑read sections, and show you how to apply Shames's methods to your own work. Who Is Stephen Shames? Fact Detail Profession Photojournalist & documentary photographer Career span 50+ years (1960s‑present) Focus Social issues – child poverty, racism, civil rights Notable achievements Testified before the U.S. Senate (1986), 42 museum collections, 12 monographs (e.g., Power to the People, Outside the Dream), new book Stephen Shames – A Lifetime in Photography – Purchase Directly with Autograph and Print from Stephen via eBay HERE Key collaborations Black Panther leader Bobby Seale, New York Times reporter Earl Caldwell, various grassroots organizations How Stephen Shames Discovered Photography College activism – While studying at UC Berkeley during the 1960s, he witnessed the civil‑rights movement and anti‑Vietnam protests. First camera purchase – After hitch‑hiking to New York's East Village, he bought a camera at a pawn shop. Choosing the “artist of the movement” – Frustrated by student‑government politics, he decided to capture the larger picture rather than be a “politician.” “I just wanted to look at the big picture and try and move people with photography.” Working with the Black Panther Party Why the Panthers Accepted a White Photographer Shared goals – Economic and social justice, not just race. Pragmatism – Panthers needed allies outside the Black community to build coalitions (Peace & Freedom Party, Young Lords, Young Patriots). Personal connection – Bobby Seale liked Shames's images and invited him to use them in the Panther newspaper. Key Facts About the Panthers (From the Interview) Founded: October 1966 (initially ~20 members). National expansion: Post‑1968, 10,000+ members, 50‑60 chapters. Community programs: “Breakfast for School Children,” feeding 10,000+ kids daily. Self‑defense model: Legal gun ownership (California) + law books; later, they shifted to “cameras are better weapons.” Lesson for Photographers Build trust by aligning with a group's mission, not merely your identity. Stephen Shames Research‑First Approach “Journalism is two‑dimensional; you need to experience the culture you want to document.” Steps to Deep‑Dive Research Read nonfiction – History, journalism, policy reports. Read fiction – Novels written by members of the community. Listen to music – Understand emotional tone and cultural references. Watch movies / documentaries – Visual language and storytelling cues. Live the bubble – Immerse yourself in daily life, food, rituals. Why It Matters Breaks the “bubble” of your own biases. Helps anticipate reactions and capture authentic moments. Stephen Shames on Building Trust & Relationships Core Principles Honesty: Be transparent about your intent. Respect: Never mock or look down on subjects (e.g., drug addicts, police). Reciprocity: Offer subjects control—let them tell you when to stop. Presence: Stay physically in the community (sleep on sofas, eat meals together). Practical Tactics Find a community “gatekeeper.” Example: a nun from Catholic Social Services who introduced Shames to Chicago projects. Sit down for a conversation before shooting – explain the project, listen to concerns. Share your work later (photos, stories) to reinforce the relationship. “If you're honest, people will accept you, even if you're a ‘liberal New York Jew.'” Bullet‑Point Checklist Identify and contact a respected local figure or organization. Explain your project in plain language. Offer a clear “opt‑out” for subjects. Spend time off‑camera – meals, conversations, errands. Follow up after the shoot with thank‑you notes or shared images. Cameras vs. Guns: The Evolution of “Weapons” 1960s‑70s: Panthers used firearms legally to patrol police. Today: Shames notes that cameras and smartphones are the most powerful weapons for exposing injustice. Why the shift? Legal restrictions on open carry. Instant global distribution of visual evidence. “The camera is a much better weapon because it puts the story directly in front of the world.” Lessons for Modern Photographers Insight How to Apply Research beyond headlines Read novels, watch local films, listen to playlists from the community. Immerse, don't observe from a distance Stay in the neighborhood for days or weeks, not just a single shoot. Earn trust through honesty Share your intent, give subjects a “stop” word, and be transparent about usage. Leverage community allies Partner with NGOs, churches, or trusted locals to gain entry. Think of yourself as a “doctor,” not a “tourist” Your presence should be accepted as part of the environment, not an intrusion. Use the camera as an activist tool Publish work on platforms that reach decision‑makers, not just art galleries. Document, don't dictate Let subjects tell their own story; avoid imposing your narrative. Why Shames's Story Matters Today Media fragmentation & AI‑generated images: Shames emphasizes that authentic, verified photography is more vital than ever. Social justice resurgence: The same patterns of protest, police scrutiny, and grassroots organizing repeat across generations. Educational relevance: Teachers can use Shames's methods to teach research, empathy, and ethical storytelling. Conclusion Stephen Shames's career shows that powerful photography comes from empathy, rigorous research, and deep community ties. Whether you're documenting the modern Black Lives Matter movement, child poverty, or any social issue, the principles he shares—exit your bubble, build trust, and let the camera speak—remain timeless. Ready to start your own documentary project? Apply the checklist above, stay authentic, and remember: your camera can change policy just as much as any courtroom testimony.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden CO GOP Chair Horn caves and agrees to hold special meeting regarding her failed leadership…. But there's a twist. this episode, Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden break down the escalating civil war within the Colorado Republican Party leadership and the controversial "Trump Doctrine" speech delivered by Marco Rubio in Munich. The duo also critiques Ken Buck's new anti-socialism venture and the latest revelations involving Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein. The Colorado GOP Leadership Crisis The program highlights a deepening divide within the Colorado GOP, centered on Chairwoman Britta Horn. Central Committee members previously voted to fire her personal attorney, Steve Klenda, who has reportedly accrued $200,000 in legal fees used for "lawfare" against the party's grassroots. Horn has allegedly ignored these votes and petitions for special meetings. Most recently, she is accused of cutting off Secretary Russ Andrews' access to party records and Zoom accounts after he validated petitions for a meeting. Critics suggest this disarray may be a deliberate strategy by wealthy donors to collapse the party structure in favor of "jungle primaries". National Politics and the "Trump Doctrine" The hosts analyze Senator Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Safety Conference, describing it as a bold articulation of the "Trump Doctrine." Rubio emphasized that the United States is a "child of Europe" with Christian values and warned against "civilizational erasure" through unchecked immigration. His speech touched on three pillars: protectionist trade policies (noting one cannot have free trade with non-free traders), the necessity of secure supply chains, and skepticism toward "insane" climate change policies that he claims are bankrupting Western nations while rivals like China expand coal use. Media, Culture, and the "Establishment" The discussion shifts to Ken Buck's new project aimed at educating youth on the failures of socialism. Chuck and Julie criticize the project's production quality and its redundant nature, suggesting it may be a "hobby" or a fundraising front. Additionally, they examine leaked communications between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein from 2018-2019. The hosts describe Bannon as appearing "pompous" and "arrogant" in these interactions, questioning his motivations for maintaining ties with Epstein long after the latter's initial convictions. Climate Change and Local Impacts Julie critiques a Denver Post article regarding the impact of low snowfall on ski resorts, labeling it "green news scam" journalism funded by NGOs. She argues that natural climate cycles are being unfairly blamed on local behavior, while energy prices in Colorado rise due to the transition to wind and solar infrastructures that are not yet fully operational or integrated into the grid. The episode paints a picture of a Republican party at a crossroads, both locally in Colorado and globally. While local leadership struggles with internal litigation and administrative "lockouts," national figures like Rubio are attempting to redefine the party's core identity around Western civilizational values and economic protectionism.

Immer am Wochenende: Die beiden meist gehörten Folgen des F.A.Z. Podcast für Deutschland vom Wochenende. Heute: Die Trump-Regierung plant, europäische ThinkTanks und NGOs finanziell zu unterstützen, um die politische Agenda der MAGA-Bewegung voranzutreiben. Wie reagieren die europäischen Rechtsaußenparteien, insbesondere die AfD, auf diese Entwicklung? Und welche Risiken birgt eine solche Unterstützung für sie?

On this Friday the 13th episode of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America welcome Rachel Alexander to break down the Kristi Noem Arizona hearing, the SAVE Act push, and growing federal scrutiny over election integrity. The conversation digs into Maricopa County controversies, third-party voter challenges, mail-in ballot concerns, and the role of NGOs like Runbeck in ballot processing. The centerpiece of the show is a deep dive into Mark Elias' latest video, where he outlines sweeping proposals to ban third-party voter challenges, centralize certification authority, restrict federal investigations around elections, and shield processes from local scrutiny. The hosts argue his recommendations would eliminate layers of oversight, streamline power to the state level, and block real-time investigations into election irregularities. From certification battles in Arizona and Georgia to debates over federal involvement and voter roll maintenance, this episode explores what the hosts see as an existential clash over transparency, decentralization, and the future structure of American elections.

Staunchly allied with Turkey, Somalia has become a flashpoint in Turkey's rivalry with Israel. Ankara recently deployed fighter jets to Mogadishu in the latest signal that it is determined to protect its strategic interests in the Horn of Africa after Israel recognised the breakaway region of Somaliland. In a conspicuous display of military strength, Turkish F-16 fighter jets roared over the Somali capital, Mogadishu, in late January. According to Turkish officials, the deployment was aimed at protecting Turkish interests and supporting Somali efforts to counter an insurgency by the radical Islamist group al-Shabaab.  It follows Israel's recognition of Somaliland in December, which Ankara condemned as a threat to Somalia's territorial integrity. Turkish international relations expert Soli Ozel said the jets send a message to Israel: "Don't mess with our interests here." Somalia is poised to become the latest point of tension between the countries, he predicts. "I don't think they will fight, but they are both showing their colours. Israel's recognition of Somaliland and the Turks sending F-16s and drones are attempts to set limits to what the other party can do," he said. "Could it get out of hand? I don't know. It may." The risky calculations behind Israel's recognition of Somaliland Mutual suspicion The episode reflects broader strains in Israeli-Turkish relations, which remain fraught over Ankara's support of Hamas and Israel's war in Gaza. "It's a new chapter in the competition between the two countries, which are now the dominant military powers in the Middle East," said Norman Ricklefs, CEO of geopolitical consultancy Namea Group. According to Gallia Lindenstrauss, an Israeli foreign policy specialist at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, Israel is not seeking to challenge the interests of Turkey or Somalia. Instead, she argues Israel's recognition of Somaliland and its commitment to deepening cooperation are motivated by the breakaway's state strategic location facing Yemen, where Houthi rebels launched attacks against Israeli cities last year. "The Houthis were the last ones who were still launching missiles against Israel, from the Iranian proxies. This is the most major threat for Israel," she said.  However, Lindenstrauss acknowledges that both sides increasingly view each other's actions with suspicion. "What Israel sees as defence, Turkey sees as something against Ankara." Rival blocs Turkey's suspicions could grow if Israel deploys military hardware in Somaliland to counter threats from Yemen, a move an anonymous Israeli expert suggested is Israel's aim. Ricklefs warns Israel needs to tread carefully, given the significant investments Turkey had made in Somalia over the past 15 years. Turkey has its largest overseas military base and embassy in Somalia, while Ankara has signed agreements with Mogadishu to explore potential energy reserves, as well as a naval accord. "Turkey is running the [Mogadishu] port, counterterrorism training, charities, NGOs, and all that kind of stuff. So it appears very important to Turkey's regional strategic ambitions," said Ricklefs. He noted that Somalia's location on the Horn of Africa, with coastlines in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, makes it "key for regional influence". With Somalia naval deal, Turkey steers into strategic but volatile region Lindenstrauss observed that the Turkish-Israeli rivalry over Somalia is further complicated by the emergence of two competing axes: "On the one hand, you see Greece, Cyprus, Israel, the UAE. On the other hand, you see Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt and Qatar," she explained.   "They are loose axes, but you do see that on many issues, these two axes think differently. And that's also a cause of the rising tensions." Ricklefs noted that tensions have already spilled over into confrontation elsewhere. “We've already seen the pretty strong competition leading to violence in Libya, between blocs aligned with the Emirates and, on the other side, blocs aligned with Turkey in Libya," he said. As for whether the same could happen in Somalia, Ricklefs said he doesn't believe the situation has yet reached that point.  "I don't think we're there just yet with Somaliland and Somalia," he said. "And frankly, the only party that can play a mediating role, a conflict-reducing role, in this situation is the United States."

The throughline? Hotel groups are searching for growth in a market that feels mature at home and increasingly demanding everywhere else.   They start with Choice's plan to open 100 hotels in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2035. Edwin argues that the real opportunity isn't safari escapism, but dense capital-city demand driven by business travel, NGOs, and intra-African growth. With new-build pipelines lagging, conversions and franchising become the strategic edge. Ben adds that in markets without decades of “economy brand” stigma, Choice may find a cleaner runway than it has in the U.S.   Next, they unpack Wyndham's contrarian stance on the struggling economy segment. While revenue has slid for more than a year, Wyndham's CEO insists the downturn is cyclical—not structural—and teases a push into “budget lifestyle.” The guys debate whether affordability can actually feel aspirational, and whether travelers want to identify with “budget,” even when it's cleverly rebranded.   Finally, they explore the shift from wellness to longevity—better framed as healthspan—as luxury hotels move beyond spa aesthetics into diagnostics, personalization, and clinic-level programming. In Spice of the Week, they take aim at hotels adopting performative anti-AI creative policies, arguing that resisting innovation in the name of authenticity may be the fastest way to fall behind.   This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.   Journey is a loyalty platform built specifically for independent boutique hotels and high-touch hospitality brands.

In an age where misinformation spreads rapidly across digital platforms, the integrity of information has become a pressing concern for individuals and societies alike. Giuseppe Carapellese, CEO of MLR, sheds light on a crucial initiative aimed at addressing this challenge: certifying digital content such as photos and videos. This approach not only empowers individuals to document events but also aims to restore trust in the information ecosystem, which is increasingly plagued by fake news and manipulated content.The Challenge of MisinformationThe proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has made it easier than ever to create content that appears authentic, blurring the lines between reality and fabrication. Carapellese highlights a notable example where a fabricated video of French President Macron circulated on national television, underscoring the potential dangers of misinformation. Such incidents illustrate the urgent need for mechanisms that can verify the authenticity of digital content and provide users with reliable information.A significant portion of the population struggles to differentiate between true and false information. According to the Reuters Institute, over 60% of people in Europe cannot discern authentic content from fake news. This statistic reveals a crisis of trust in the information landscape, which is further exacerbated by the overwhelming volume of content shared on social media platforms like Facebook. These platforms, primarily designed for social interaction, often become breeding grounds for misinformation, leading to confusion and skepticism among users.The Role of CertificationMLR's initiative to certify digital content serves as a beacon of hope in this chaotic environment. By enabling individuals - whether they are common citizens, freelance reporters, or representatives of NGOs - to document events and certify their content, MLR creates a new ecosystem where authenticity is prioritized. This system not only verifies the genuineness of the content but also provides a mechanism for tracking any future manipulations. For instance, if a video is altered using deepfake technology, the certification system can alert users to these changes, thereby fostering transparency.The dual objectives of MLR's approach are significant. First, it aims to reconnect underrepresented communities and give them a voice in the global narrative. In times of crisis, such as during the war in Ukraine or natural disasters, individuals on the ground can provide real-time accounts of events that may otherwise go unnoticed. By allowing these individuals to share their experiences and even monetize their content, MLR not only empowers them but also enriches the media landscape with diverse perspectives.Second, the initiative seeks to re-establish trust in the information sector. By involving individuals in the content certification process, MLR fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among users. This participatory approach can lead to a cultural shift in how information is perceived and consumed. Rather than viewing social media merely as a platform for entertainment or casual communication, users can begin to recognize its potential as a channel for credible information.A Path ForwardRestoring trust in information is not merely a technological challenge; it is also a cultural one. Carapellese aptly notes that social networks should be understood as social channels rather than information channels. This distinction is crucial in reshaping the narrative around digital content. Users must be educated about the nature of the platforms they engage with and encouraged to approach the information they encounter with a critical mindset.Moreover, initiatives like MLR's certification system can serve as a model for other organizations and platforms seeking to combat misinformation. By prioritizing authenticity and transparency, stakeholders in the information ecosystem can work collaboratively to enhance the credibility of digital content.ConclusionAs misinformation continues to pose a significant threat to societal trust and democratic processes, the need for reliable information is more critical than ever. MLR certifying digital content represents a proactive step towards restoring that trust. By empowering individuals to document and verify their experiences, we can create a more informed society where authenticity prevails over deception. In doing so, we not only enhance the quality of information available but also reaffirm the fundamental principles of freedom and democracy that rely on truthful discourse.Interview by Marlo Anderson of The Tech Ranch.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

This approach not only empowers individuals to document events but also aims to restore trust in the information ecosystem, which is increasingly plagued by fake news and manipulated content.The Challenge of MisinformationThe proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has made it easier than ever to create content that appears authentic, blurring the lines between reality and fabrication. Carapellese highlights a notable example where a fabricated video of French President Macron circulated on national television, underscoring the potential dangers of misinformation. Such incidents illustrate the urgent need for mechanisms that can verify the authenticity of digital content and provide users with reliable information.A significant portion of the population struggles to differentiate between true and false information. According to the Reuters Institute, over 60% of people in Europe cannot discern authentic content from fake news. This statistic reveals a crisis of trust in the information landscape, which is further exacerbated by the overwhelming volume of content shared on social media platforms like Facebook. These platforms, primarily designed for social interaction, often become breeding grounds for misinformation, leading to confusion and skepticism among users.The Role of CertificationMLR's initiative to certify digital content serves as a beacon of hope in this chaotic environment. By enabling individuals - whether they are common citizens, freelance reporters, or representatives of NGOs - to document events and certify their content, MLR creates a new ecosystem where authenticity is prioritized. This system not only verifies the genuineness of the content but also provides a mechanism for tracking any future manipulations. For instance, if a video is altered using deepfake technology, the certification system can alert users to these changes, thereby fostering transparency.The dual objectives of MLR's approach are significant. First, it aims to reconnect underrepresented communities and give them a voice in the global narrative. In times of crisis, such as during the war in Ukraine or natural disasters, individuals on the ground can provide real-time accounts of events that may otherwise go unnoticed. By allowing these individuals to share their experiences and even monetize their content, MLR not only empowers them but also enriches the media landscape with diverse perspectives.Second, the initiative seeks to re-establish trust in the information sector. By involving individuals in the content certification process, MLR fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among users. This participatory approach can lead to a cultural shift in how information is perceived and consumed. Rather than viewing social media merely as a platform for entertainment or casual communication, users can begin to recognize its potential as a channel for credible information.A Path ForwardRestoring trust in information is not merely a technological challenge; it is also a cultural one. Carapellese aptly notes that social networks should be understood as social channels rather than information channels. This distinction is crucial in reshaping the narrative around digital content. Users must be educated about the nature of the platforms they engage with and encouraged to approach the information they encounter with a critical mindset.Moreover, initiatives like MLR's certification system can serve as a model for other organizations and platforms seeking to combat misinformation. By prioritizing authenticity and transparency, stakeholders in the information ecosystem can work collaboratively to enhance the credibility of digital content.ConclusionAs misinformation continues to pose a significant threat to societal trust and democratic processes, the need for reliable information is more critical than ever. MLR certifying digital content represents a proactive step towards restoring that trust. By empowering individuals to document and verify their experiences, we can create a more informed society where authenticity prevails over deception. In doing so, we not only enhance the quality of information available but also reaffirm the fundamental principles of freedom and democracy that rely on truthful discourse.Interview by Marlo Anderson of The Tech Ranch.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois deliver a wide-ranging discussion that spans Canadian agricultural investment, dairy transparency, food trade infrastructure, and seafood sustainability—before welcoming Jason McLinton, President of the Fisheries Council of Canada, for an in-depth conversation on the future of Canada's wild capture seafood industry.The episode opens with analysis of major developments shaping Canadian agri-food policy. Sylvain reflects on Canadian Ag Day  spent in Saskatoon and the newly announced $5 billion investment coalition led by Farm Credit Canada, designed to mobilize private capital into agriculture and agri-food innovation. The hosts debate whether this signals a meaningful shift toward private-sector leadership in food production. They also tackle dairy sector transparency, highlighting new data showing that 4.9% of collected milk is being rejected or “skimmed,” raising renewed concerns around supply management efficiency and food affordability.Trade infrastructure also takes center stage, with discussion of the Gordie Howe International Bridge and its implications for cross-border agri-food movement. As geopolitical tensions evolve, the hosts examine how Canadian consumers and producers are reacting to U.S. trade volatility and what it means for domestic competitiveness.The second half of the episode features Jason McLinton, who outlines why Canada's seafood sector—representing more than $9 billion in economic activity—is both economically vital and culturally foundational. McLinton explains how Canada consistently ranks among the top five most sustainable seafood producers globally, reinforcing its reputation as a premium, trusted source in international markets.The conversation explores Canada's export-heavy seafood model, noting that more than $8 billion of production is shipped abroad annually. McLinton highlights the strategic importance of maintaining tariff-free access to key markets such as China and the United States, while continuing to expand into the Indo-Pacific and other high-growth regions.He also addresses regulatory uncertainty, marine conservation policy, access to fisheries resources, and the need for science-based decision-making. With climate adaptation, sustainability technology, and global market diversification top of mind, McLinton shares his strategic priorities for strengthening Canada's blue economy while protecting coastal communities.

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience Review, we break down Joe Rogan's conversation with Mike Benz, a former State Department official and current executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online. Benz brings a policy-level lens to how governments, NGOs, and tech platforms influence online speech, censorship, and digital power. His discussion with The Joe Rogan Experience dives into content moderation, information control, and the often invisible systems shaping what people see, say, and share online. We unpack what Benz is actually arguing, where his claims land, and why this episode sparked strong reactions across Rogan's audience. Is this a necessary warning about digital overreach, or does it drift into overly dense policy territory for the average listener? If you're interested in free speech, technology, power, and how modern narratives are managed behind the scenes, this is a conversation worth examining carefully. This podcast exists to separate signal from noise in Joe Rogan episodes, highlight the core ideas, and explore why certain conversations resonate or divide audiences online. www.JREreview.com For all marketing questions and inquiries: JRERmarketing@gmail.com Follow the best JRE fan Instagram: www.instagram.com/thejrecompanion Please email us here with any suggestions, comments and questions for future shows..

In this explosive conversation, Leslie Manookian — former Wall Street executive turned health freedom advocate — returns to The Ultimate Assist to unpack what she calls the rise of a global bio-security state. Drawing from her financial background and her work as founder of the Health Freedom Defense Fund, Leslie presents a highly controversial argument: that COVID-era health policies, including vaccine mandates, censorship, and emergency powers, were not just public safety measures — but coordinated moves toward centralized control.She exposes what she believes to be the collusion between pharmaceutical giants, NGOs, and governments, and lays out a shocking paper trail of patents and policies that preceded the pandemic. Leslie doesn't just challenge the science — she challenges the system itself.Whether you agree or not, her perspective will leave you questioning what true health freedom means in today's world — and what we're willing to sacrifice to protect it.Support the show

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Dennis Petri, focusing on the evolution and current state of metrics used to gauge religious freedom and persecution. Petri explains how documenting religious incidents is crucial for making them visible to policymakers, countering older secularization theories that often overlooked religious influence in public life. The discussion highlights the transition from anecdotal evidence to sophisticated datasets—such as those from the Pew Research Center—while acknowledging persistent gaps in capturing implicit discrimination and the nuanced cultural contexts of faith. A major theme of the interview is the potential for artificial intelligence and "big data" to enhance real-time reporting and move research beyond nationwide aggregates toward more detailed, sub-national analysis. Ultimately, Pinna and Petri emphasize the need for a "new IRFA moment" to update international religious freedom policies in alignment with modern technological advancements and data-driven insights. Prof. Dr. Dennis P. Petri is a political scientist, researcher, and international consultant, with extensive experience in Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. He has worked in academic and policy roles for various universities, international NGOs, and multilateral organizations. Currently, Petri is Visiting Professor at the UN mandated University for Peace and Professor in International Relations and Humanities at the Latin American University of Science and Technology of Costa Rica. He also lectures at the Central American Public Administration Institute, the UNESCO mandated Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO), and The Hague University of Applied Sciences. He has been a visiting scholar at the University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands), the Interamerican Center for Social Security Studies, Bar-Ilan University (Israel), and Regent's Park College, University of Oxford (UK).

The weeklong “Operation Reclaim and Rebuild” campaign was part of a yearly effort by the Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force and 80 local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna laid out the exact numbers at a news conference, later posted on X. A total of 611 criminal arrests were made and 156 adults rescued as part of the operations, Luna told reporters. In addition, 14 children were rescued from sex trafficking. Officials said 71 suspected traffickers were arrested, and an additional 328 sex buyers were arrested. “This is a multibillion-dollar industry,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said. “It is nothing less than modern slavery.” According to the Los Angeles Times' reporting of the announcement: Source: breitbart.com Geopolitical Spain Amnesty: Gov't to Take Illegals' Word That They Don't Have Criminal Record The socialist Spanish government's amnesty scheme will allow illegal migrants to simply declare that they have no criminal record, rather than providing documentation from their native countries, sparking concern over criminals gaming the system.

While the scheme stipulates that amnesty will not apply to migrants with criminal records — other than the crime of entering Spain illegally — the regularisation decree published by the government this week revealed that Madrid will essentially be willing to take the word of illegal migrants about their past.

FBI Agent Brown asks Ms Williams to voluntarily hand over the material, which has the result of giving Fulton County a heads-up about the specifics of the material the FBI were going to gather and review in their search warrant.

In April 2025, Gabbard told a Cabinet meeting that her office had obtained evidence showing U.S. electronic voting systems have long been vulnerable to hacking. “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast,” she said, adding that this supports the push for nationwide paper ballots so voters can trust the integrity of U.S. elections. https://twitter.com/canncon/status/2019054407954956637?s=20  Bureau of Investigation Vic Reynolds told Senator Perdue, “I’m a team player. If the Governor doesn’t want to investigate, we’re not going to investigate.” “You said that although Mr. Reynolds had received evidence that he felt was compelling enough to open an investigation that he was not going to investigate because the governor had told him not to?” “That’s one of the things he said, yeah.” – Senator Perdue One month before the special grand jury testimony, Vic Reynolds was appointed a Superior Court Judge by……..Governor Brian Kemp. And Reynolds wasn’t the only person who ignored election fraud evidence or maladministration and got appointed to a Superior Court judgeship. He wasn’t even the second one. Reynolds was presented with video evidence, cell phone data, bank records, and testimony of a ballot harvester. Reynolds claimed that the GBI made “repeated requests” to True The Vote for their witness. True The Vote denies this saying that THEY actually reached out to GBI after their one and only meeting and were ignored. From TTV’s Catherine Engelbrecht: “After that meeting, we made repeated attempts to re-engage with the GBI and never received a response.” Why did Brian Kemp order GBI not to investigate an alleged crime, with evidence, that would ultimately lead to a UNPRECEDENTED RICO case against a former President and HIS party’s front-running candidate??

A solid point. Trump added, “So now they're saying Russia had nothing to do with it, because if I say Russia, it's perfectly fine.

Is America being pulled apart on purpose? Jillian Michaels sits down with wildly popular political pundit and radio host Jesse Kelly for a brutally honest look at the current state of the country. From the shocking reports of medical professionals refusing care to political opponents to the "communist" tactics infiltrating American institutions, the reality of the border crisis, and the terrifying concept of "struggle sessions" making their way into modern society, Jesse outlines exactly how and why civilized society is descending into chaos.   Jesse also breaks down the 2030 apportionment map and explains the strategic demographic shifts that are changing the political landscape forever. In this episode: The Cultural Divide: Why politics has become a "blood sport" and how it impacts day-to-day life, from flying on airplanes to doctors' visits. "Struggle Sessions": Jesse explains the historical communist roots behind modern public shaming and cancel culture. The "Normie" Problem: Why ignoring politics is no longer an option if you want to protect your freedom.

Today's guest is Greg Berman, and we talk about nonprofits — Non-Governmental Organizations, or NGOs. Greg's got a new book out called The Nonprofit Crisis: Leadership Through the Culture Wars, which I enjoyed. I asked him to explain his diagnosis of the nonprofit sector. What's happened to nonprofits this century? What's happened to how people perceive nonprofits? And are “NGOs the bad guys”? As critics from both ends of the political spectrum will argue.Greg was part of the founding team responsible for creating the Center for Justice Innovation, serving as Director from 2002 to 2020, and helping to guide it from a start-up to an org with an annual budget of more than $80 million. Alongside that, he:* Has written multiple books, mostly on reducing mass incarceration, including Trial and Error in Criminal Justice Reform and Good Courts: The Case for Problem-Solving Justice.* Has been at the center of left-liberal attempts to do criminal justice reform, especially in New York City, over the past two decades.* Was on the Board of Correction for Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and the public safety transition team for Mayor Bill de Blasio and Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance.* Is the co-editor of a publication called Vital City, which I enjoy — it's one part New York journalism, one part policy journal.* Is the Distinguished Fellow of Practice at the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, investigating various topics related to violence.Thanks to Charles Lehman, Sean Sullivan, Oliver Traldi, Park MacDougald, Rafa Mangual, Ari Schulman, and many others for their contributions to my thinking on this piece.We discuss:* Why nonprofits matter to government service delivery* Critiques of nonprofits from the left, the right, and both sides* How the Center for Justice Innovation reduced incarceration, and why funding that work got harder* What nonprofits should do to regain public trustThe full transcript for this conversation is at www.statecraft.pub.

In this segment of Mundo in the Morning on KCMO Talk Radio, Senator Eric Schmidt joins the show to discuss the ongoing partial government shutdown and the debate around immigration. He shares his thoughts on the recent Senate vote to fund DHS and the potential consequences of isolating DHS funding and ICE. Eric also touches on the importance of addressing the issue of NGOs causing chaos in cities like Minneapolis and Kansas City, and how the Democrats' proposals are essentially a backdoor way of granting amnesty. He emphasizes the need for a more aggressive approach to immigration reform and the importance of protecting ICE agents and their families.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Global Gag Rule, started by President Ronald Regan in 1984, prevented foreign NGOs from receiving U.S. family planning assistance if they performed, promoted, advocated for, counseled on, or referred patients for abortion. It has gone in and out of place since then, depending on who is in the White House. It was expanded during the first Trump administration to apply not only to family planning funding, but all of global health funding. Caitlin Horrigan, Senior Director of Global Advocacy at the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Beirne Roose-Snyder, Senior Policy Fellow at the Council for Global Equality, sit down to talk with us about the new and purposefully broad expansion on an already-devastating rule.  The Global Gag Rule impacts the most marginalized—women and girls, Black and brown people, the LGBTQI+ community, those in humanitarian settings, those living rurally, people living with disabilities, and more. At the 2026 March for Life, JD Vance announced the policy, “Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance”, which includes three federal rules applying to grants and contracts coming from the State Department. It operationalizes and expands the existing global gag rule to all foreign assistance, to new actors (including new governments), and with new definitions. It also applies to those promoting “gender ideology” and “discriminatory equity ideology” or engagement in “unlawful diversity, equity, and inclusion-related discrimination.” These rules are purposefully long and complicated to create less obvious legal challenges. This expansion lands on top of an already devastated global health landscape.Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by former Navy SEAL and FBI task force officer Jonathan Gilliam, Texas State Representative and Republican Congressional Candidate Steve Toth, and Alvin Lui of Courage Is a Habit to expose how the radical left weaponizes immigration, NGOs, and institutions to destabilize communities.First, Gilliam warns that weak “pathway” proposals from Republicans risk handing Congress back to the left, while highlighting how federal law enforcement successfully restored order in Minneapolis, despite resistance from local leadership.Texas State Rep. Steve Toth contrasts the chaos in blue states with Texas' aggressive ICE cooperation, explaining why sanctuary cities protect criminals over citizens and why Trump's immigration policies earned growing support from Hispanic communities. He also makes the case for codifying executive actions and revoking sanctuary city charters.Finally, Alvin Lui pulls back the curtain on Minnesota's deep NGO entanglements, revealing how the Walz administration has partnered with the violent ICE Watch Network, a group that actively obstructs federal law enforcement, while similar radical organizations seep into K-12 education and public policy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The regime increasingly relies on restrictive controls over civil society's monetary flows to punish dissent. In 2023, the regime froze the bank accounts of institutions affiliated with the Catholic Church, which led a Nicaraguan seminary to cease operations. Since 2018, thousands of NGOs have been forced to close or had their assets seized for alleged financial violations. In Nicaragua, authoritarian financial control is a primary way to stifle civil society.

In this episode, Peter Schweizer joins Lisa to break down the explosive arguments in his book The Invisible Coup, exposing how immigration has been transformed into a strategic political weapon by American elites and foreign actors. Schweizer explains why immigration is not just a policy debate—but a long-term power play shaping elections, culture, and governance. He dives into the role of foreign governments, activist NGOs, and educational institutions in influencing public perception and policy, and why these forces have been so effective at operating behind the scenes. This conversation pulls back the curtain on how “weaponized immigration” works, why it matters for America’s future, and what citizens must understand to push back against coordinated influence campaigns. In this episode, you’ll learn: How immigration became a tool for political and demographic power The foreign interests shaping U.S. immigration debates The role of NGOs and education in influencing public opinion Why The Invisible Coup argues this strategy is deliberate—not accidental What awareness and action look like moving forward Purchase Peter's NEW Book HERESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This powerful conversation with Chad Meli goes beyond headlines, diving into real-life trafficking cases, rescue operations, and the often-overlooked reality of victim support after recovery. Chad shares firsthand stories that reveal how traffickers exploit technology—and how law enforcement, NGOs, and community partners are using that same technology to fight back.Chad and Murphy explore the critical role of proactive policing, international and local collaboration, and the emotional toll faced by investigators and advocates working these cases. Chad also breaks down why parental awareness and online safety education are now frontline defenses in protecting children from predators.You'll hear how NGOs and law enforcement work together to identify victims, dismantle trafficking networks, and provide long-term care for survivors.

Chad walks us through a harrowing investigation involving a father who exploited his own daughters for profit, using social media and online platforms to traffic abuse across borders. What followed was a complex, high-risk operation requiring undercover work, cutting-edge technology, and unprecedented collaboration between NGOs and law enforcement agencies worldwide. This is a heroic fight to protect the most vulnerable. January is Human Trafficking Awareness month.

It is pretty obvious that the Peace Corps was a unique intelligence-gathering operation, but most people have not heard how it was established and who financed the operation over the decades. There is also a pipeline of talent for NGOs and spook agencies that runs through the Peace Corps, making it hidden in plain sight.The other fake do-gooder organization with questionable partnerships and sketchy financing is Greenpeace, with its ties to John Podesta, George Soros, Bill Gates, and Planned Parenthood.
