Podcasts about nuclear weapons

What if extraterrestrials have already intervened in our nuclear weapons systems… and the world was never told? In this explosive episode of Truth Be Told Paranormal, Tony Sweet is joined by legendary disclosure activist Steven Bassett, one of the most influential voices in the global fight to end the “Truth Embargo.” For over 30 years, Bassett has pushed governments, briefed political leaders, and warned that humanity is running out of time.We dive deep into documented cases of UFOs shutting down nuclear missile silos in the United States and the former Soviet Union, chilling warnings given to contactees and even schoolchildren, and why Bassett believes extraterrestrials are actively trying to prevent nuclear annihilation. We also discuss political cowardice, the terrifying ease with which a single leader can launch a nuclear strike, the real meaning of “Disclosure,” and why 2026 could mark a turning point for humanity. This is not speculation. This is the suppressed history of our world—and the future of our survival.  #TruthBeToldParanormal #StevenBassett #Disclosure #UFOs #UAP #ETs #AlienDisclosure #NuclearWeapons #NuclearWar #TruthEmbargo #HiddenHistory #GovernmentSecrets #CosmicDisclosure #ParanormalPodcast #UFOPodcast #AliensAreReal #Contact #Consciousness #EndTheEmbargo #DisclosureNow #ClubParanormalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews Aurelio Gialluca, an economist and full stack data professional who works across finance, retail, and AI as both a data engineer and machine learning developer, while also exploring human consciousness and psychology. Their wide-ranging conversation covers the intersection of science and psychology, the unique cultural characteristics that make Argentina a haven for eccentrics (drawing parallels to the United States), and how Argentine culture has produced globally influential figures from Borges to Maradona to Che Guevara. They explore the current AI landscape as a "centralizing force" creating cultural homogenization (particularly evident in LinkedIn's cookie-cutter content), discuss the potential futures of AI development from dystopian surveillance states to anarchic chaos, and examine how Argentina's emotionally mature, non-linear communication style might offer insights for navigating technological change. The conversation concludes with Gialluca describing his ambitious project to build a custom water-cooled workstation with industrial-grade processors for his quantitative hedge fund, highlighting the practical challenges of heat management and the recent tripling of RAM prices due to market consolidation.Timestams00:00 Exploring the Intersection of Psychology and Science02:55 Cultural Eccentricity: Argentina vs. the United States05:36 The Influence of Religion on National Identity08:50 The Unique Argentine Cultural Landscape11:49 Soft Power and Cultural Influence14:48 Political Figures and Their Cultural Impact17:50 The Role of Sports in Shaping National Identity20:49 The Evolution of Argentine Music and Subcultures23:41 AI and the Future of Cultural Dynamics26:47 Navigating the Chaos of AI in Culture33:50 Equilibrating Society for a Sustainable Future35:10 The Patchwork Age: Decentralization and Society35:56 The Impact of AI on Human Connection38:06 Individualism vs. Collective Rules in Society39:26 The Future of AI and Global Regulations40:16 Biotechnology: The Next Frontier42:19 Building a Personal AI Lab45:51 Tiers of AI Labs: From Personal to Industrial48:35 Mathematics and AI: The Foundation of Innovation52:12 Stochastic Models and Predictive Analytics55:47 Building a Supercomputer: Hardware InsightsKey Insights1. Argentina's Cultural Exceptionalism and Emotional Maturity: Argentina stands out globally for allowing eccentrics to flourish and having a non-linear communication style that Gialluca describes as "non-monotonous systems." Argentines can joke profoundly and be eccentric while simultaneously being completely organized and straightforward, demonstrating high emotional intelligence and maturity that comes from their unique cultural blend of European romanticism and Latino lightheartedness.2. Argentina as an Underrecognized Cultural Superpower: Despite being introverted about their achievements, Argentina produces an enormous amount of global culture through music, literature, and iconic figures like Borges, Maradona, Messi, and Che Guevara. These cultural exports have shaped entire generations worldwide, with Argentina "stealing the thunder" from other nations and creating lasting soft power influence that people don't fully recognize as Argentine.3. AI's Cultural Impact Follows Oscillating Patterns: Culture operates as a dynamic system that oscillates between centralization and decentralization like a sine wave. AI currently represents a massive centralizing force, as seen in LinkedIn's homogenized content, but this will inevitably trigger a decentralization phase. The speed of this cultural transformation has accelerated dramatically, with changes that once took generations now happening in years.4. The Coming Bifurcation of AI Futures: Gialluca identifies two extreme possible endpoints for AI development: complete centralized control (the "Mordor" scenario with total surveillance) or complete chaos where everyone has access to dangerous capabilities like creating weapons or viruses. Finding a middle path between these extremes is essential for society's survival, requiring careful equilibrium between accessibility and safety.5. Individual AI Labs Are Becoming Democratically Accessible: Gialluca outlines a tier system for AI capabilities, where individuals can now build "tier one" labs capable of fine-tuning models and processing massive datasets for tens of thousands of dollars. This democratization means that capabilities once requiring teams of PhD scientists can now be achieved by dedicated individuals, fundamentally changing the landscape of AI development and access.6. Hardware Constraints Are the New Limiting Factor: While AI capabilities are rapidly advancing, practical implementation is increasingly constrained by hardware availability and cost. RAM prices have tripled in recent months, and the challenge of managing enormous heat output from powerful processors requires sophisticated cooling systems. These physical limitations are becoming the primary bottleneck for individual AI development.7. Data Quality Over Quantity Is the Critical Challenge: The main bottleneck for AI advancement is no longer energy or GPUs, but high-quality data for training. Early data labeling efforts produced poor results because labelers lacked domain expertise. The future lies in reinforcement learning (RL) environments where AI systems can generate their own high-quality training data, representing a fundamental shift in how AI systems learn and develop.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY TURKEY'S NUCLEAR AMBITIONS AND IMPERIAL NOSTALGIA Colleague Henry Sokolski, Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. Henry Sokolski explains that Turkey desires a nuclear weapon to assert agency and revive the influence of the Ottoman Empire, despite NATO protection. President Erdoganargues it is unfair for neighbors like Israel to possess nuclear capabilities while Turkey cannot, viewing weapons as a path to respect.1951 RB-36

THE NUCLEAR ESCROW: MANAGING PROLIFERATION AMONG ALLIES Colleague Henry Sokolski, Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. Henry Sokolski warns that allies like Poland, Turkey, and South Africaare considering nuclear weapons due to eroding trust in US guarantees. He proposes a "nuclear escrow" account: storing refurbished warheads in the US for allies to deploy only during crises, providing leverage without permanently stationing targets on foreign soil.

As the year wraps up, we're looking back at 10 of the episodes that defined our year at The Take. This originally aired on June 24, 2025. None of the dates, titles, or other references have been changed. Israel claims Iran is closer than ever to building a nuclear weapon. But as it targets Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his nation’s attacks will also “liberate” Iranians. In a civilization shaped by millennia of empire and resistance, those words land differently. What does liberation mean to Iranians as the US and Israel call for regime change?

A special holiday crossover with The Bang-Bang Podcast! Van Jackson and Lyle Rubin are joined by the preeminent nuclear scholar Scott Sagan to discuss A House of Dynamite, the 2025 political thriller that imagines nuclear catastrophe not as spectacle or obvious madness, but as an orderly sequence of decisions made under crushing time pressure. Structured as interlocking vignettes rather than a single command-room drama, the film moves between the White House, STRATCOM, missile defense sites, continuity bunkers, and civilian spaces, sketching a system that largely works as designed and still produces annihilation.The film's opening establishes its governing logic. Inclination is flattening. Timelines shrink. Judgment collapses into procedure. “Nineteen minutes to impact.” “Sixteen minutes.” “Confirm impact.” Across locations, professionals do their jobs calmly while the meaning drains out of their actions. A senior officer tells a junior colleague to keep the cafeteria line moving. A staffer compiles names and Social Security numbers for the dead. Phones come out. Final calls are made. The end of the world arrives not with hysteria, but with etiquette.Much of the tension turns on probability. Missile defense is described as “hitting a bullet with a bullet.” Sixty-one percent becomes the moral threshold, a coin toss bought with billions of dollars. Baseball chatter at STRATCOM blends into DEFCON alerts. A Civil War reenactment at Gettysburg unfolds alongside real-time catastrophe, collapsing past and present forms of American mass death into a single frame.Scott is critical of the film's portrayal of nuclear command and control. He argues that its depiction of retaliatory decision-making is wrong, that no president would order nuclear strikes against loosely defined adversaries without firm attribution or confirmation, and that the film risks backfiring by encouraging faith in ever more elaborate missile defenses rather than disarmament. Lyle pushes back, questioning whether this confidence in institutional sanity is warranted, especially given the political moment. Either way, the film lands a disturbing insight. The danger is not wild irrationality, but systems that normalize impossible choices. Nuclear war here would not look like collapse. It would look like competence.Further ReadingScott's Wiki page“Just and Unjust Nuclear Deterrence” by ScottThe Limits of Safety: Organizations, Accidents, and Nuclear Weapons by Scott“Thinking and Moral Considerations” by Hannah ArendtReview of A House of Dynamite in Bulletin of Atomic Scientists by Scott and Shreya Lad“Peacecraft and the Nuclear Policy Dilemma” by Van“Fresh Hell: Unjust Nuclear Deterrence and Nuclear Testing” by Van

A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson has again strongly criticized recent remarks by a senior Japanese official about possessing nuclear weapons.

During the Cold War, the U.S. Air Force tested one of the most controversial weapons ever created—the AIR-2 Genie nuclear air-to-air missile. In this exclusive interview, we speak with a man whose father flew wingman during the actual Genie missile test and witnessed the launch firsthand. As interest in UFOs, Cold War black projects, and secret military weapons continues to grow, the Genie missile test stands out as one of the most shocking moments in U.S. military history. Was it purely defensive… or something more?Raised By Giants LInkTree: https://linktr.ee/raisedbygiantspod

China says it is shocked by a senior Japanese official's remarks that Japan should have nuclear weapons.

Gregory Copley observes a 2025 shift toward nationalism and decisive leadership, asserting that globalism is declining. He notes that nuclear weapons are becoming "unusable" due to changing military doctrines and warns that Western democracies are sliding toward autocracy, drawing historical parallels to Oliver Cromwell's rise as Lord Protector. 1648 CROMWELL

As confusion spreads — even among Republicans — Tara explains why Trump ordered a total blockade of sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers headed for Iran. This isn't foreign adventurism or neocon nonsense. It's about stopping assassination plots, cutting off terror funding, and shutting down the oil money pipeline used to target Republicans on U.S. soil. Once you connect the dots, the move makes chilling sense.

The White House is portraying the race to adopt AI as an existential crisis. It's the next Manhattan Project, they say, a technology so important it will require an unprecedented build out of energy infrastructure and massive data centers. But the Manhattan Project was a government-led technological drive whereas AI is led by salesmen and corporations.What could possibly go wrong?On this episode of Angry Planet, Ben Buchanan is here to tell us about the government's role in fostering AI. Buchanan was an AI advisor during the Biden administration where he helped write the policy that paved the way for private-public partnerships between DC and AI companies. Now he's a professor at John Hopkins and, though he's still an AI advocate, he's got concerns. Slop, public land use, and autonomous weapons.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Chair Rudyard Giriffiths and managing director Ricki Gurwitz start today's show with a brief recap of the spirited Munk Debate on the Two-State Solution that took place at Meridian Hall on Wednesday night. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside to try to shut down the debate but were unsuccessful in their efforts, thanks in large part to the fantastic security team at Meridian Hall and the Toronto Police Services. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice talk about high drama out of Europe this week: leaked memos of conversations between leaders revealing a deep distrust of the US and a desperation about how to support Ukraine at this moment. Putin has said he is ready for war with Europe. What does he mean by that? And after evoking the threat of nuclear weapons for over two years now are his warnings starting to ring hollow? And finally, where do we go from here? Is there any hope for a solution to this conflict?

China's Nuclear Threat to Japan — Jack Burnham — Burnham documents China's escalated nuclear threats against Japan, explicitly threatening nuclear weapons deployment if Tokyo militarily intervenes in Taiwan conflict scenarios, marking a significant shift from Chinese minimal deterrence posture toward aggressive nuclear coercion. Burnhamcharacterizes this escalation as reflecting Chinese regional anxiety regarding American-led alliance structures, particularly strengthening U.S.-Japan security cooperation. Burnham recommends robust reinforcement of American-Japanese alliance relationships and extended nuclear deterrence commitments as essential counterbalance to Chinesenuclear blackmail and regional hegemonic ambitions. 1951 LAS VEGAS

PREVIEW Henry Sokolski discusses a US agreement allowing treaty ally South Korea to build nuclear submarines and enrich uranium. Enrichment is a pathway to nuclear weapons, raising proliferation concerns due to South Korea's half-century history of seeking a nuclear option. Greenlighting enrichment moves Seoul into a position similar to Iran. Guest: Henry Sokolski.

PREVIEW. Strategic Weapons and the US Stance on "Dead Hand" Protocols. John Batchelor and Peter Huessy discuss strategic weapons and the Soviet Cold War "Dead Hand" operation, where nuclear weapons would launch even if leadership was eliminated. When asked if America has a similar plan, Huessy guesses no, stating the President or Vice President must authorize retaliation to ensure the action is certain and "kosher." 1963

The United States is racing toward nuclear annihilation while its empire crumbles from within. In this explosive interview, independent journalist Rachel Blevins exposes how Washington's imperial ambitions have backfired catastrophically: as the New START treaty expires in 2026, Trump threatens to resume nuclear testing while Russia deploys unstoppable weapons like the Oreshnik and Burevestnik.Meanwhile, Zelensky begs for Tomahawk missiles that could trigger World War III, and in a shocking betrayal of reality, former Al-Qaeda leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, once with a $10 million bounty on his head, is now Syria's US-backed president, playing basketball with the very commanders who hunted him.From rare earth mineral dominance to the Nord Stream bombing cover-up, Blevins reveals how US aggression has forged an unbreakable Russia-China-Iran alliance, accelerating the collapse of American unipolar power while ordinary Americans pay the price at grocery stores and gas pumps.Donate to Support Independent Journalism: https://www.MintPressNews.com/donationsMintPress News YouTube: https://youtube.com/MintPressNewsFollow Rachel Blevins: https://twitter.com/RachelBlevinsFollow Mnar Adley: https://twitter.com/MnarMuhSupport the showMintPress News is a fiercely independent.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Democrats' sweeping election victories, Trump's call to end the Senate filibuster, the possibility of an end to the historic government shutdown, cartel violence in Mexico, and Trump's warning about nuclear weapons testing. Democrats Sweep Elections Nationwide: It was a strong night for Democrats across the country. In Virginia, they won the governor's mansion, attorney general, and 13 new House seats — a political "bloodbath," as local analysts called it. Former CIA officer Abigail Spanberger became governor, while Jay Jones — who once joked about killing a Republican lawmaker and his children — was elected attorney general. Bryan warns these results reveal a growing radicalism within the Left that Americans can't afford to ignore. New York City Elects Its First Socialist Mayor: Zohran Mamdani won handily with foreign-born voters and young progressives, promising free housing, gun bans, and state control over industries. Bryan compares his victory to a "virus of humanity" spreading nationwide, warning that socialism's false promise of "free for all" could gain traction if Republicans fail to deliver economic results. Trump Pushes to End the Filibuster: President Trump renewed his call to eliminate the Senate filibuster after the Democratic sweep, urging Republicans to "terminate it" to pass voter reform and economic bills. Bryan argues that fears of Democrats abusing power later are misplaced — "that horse has already left the barn." Shutdown Nearing Resolution: Ten Democrat senators are now willing to negotiate a deal to reopen the government, marking the longest shutdown in U.S. history. A short-term plan could fund the military while delaying fights over Obamacare subsidies until December. Mexico's Cartel War and Trump's Dilemma: After the murder of Michoacán's mayor by the Jalisco cartel, Trump is weighing covert CIA and special forces operations inside Mexico. Bryan says the President is torn between patience and decisive action — and both paths carry enormous risk. Nuclear Testing and Rising Tensions: The U.S. will restart nuclear weapons testing for the first time since the 1990s, citing proof that Russia and China are secretly conducting their own tests. Bryan explains how new nuclear-powered cruise missiles and underwater drones are reshaping the global threat landscape.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: 2025 election results Democrats sweep, Abigail Spanberger governor Virginia, Jay Jones attorney general threat scandal, Zohran Mamdani socialist NYC mayor, Trump filibuster termination call, U.S. government shutdown negotiations, Michoacán mayor cartel murder, Trump CIA operations Mexico, U.S. nuclear testing restart, Russia China cruise missile Poseidon drone

Jon and Dan discuss those developments and the latest news, including Trump's continued threat to deploy troops to American cities, the President's explosive announcement that the U.S. will resume nuclear weapons testing, and a new report that may help Democrats win back Congress and the White House. Then, Tommy checks in with Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for Mayor of New York City, to talk about his campaign's sprint to the finish line and the GOP's attempts to make him the face of the Democratic Party.

  Iran Rebuilds Nuclear Weapons Development Site Guest: David Albright David Albright reports on Iran rebuilding the Talagon 2 site, previously bombed by Israel and associated with nuclear weapons development, including testing components for explosive initiators. The reconstruction suggests Iran is making the facility harder to destroy. Iran's nuclear enrichment program appears temporarily "frozen," but the country is focusing on reconstituting its ballistic missile program using equipment sourced from China and Russia, while existing sanctions prove insufficient to halt these priority purchases. 1895 TEHRAN

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/30/2025): 3:05pm- According to a report from New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan, prediction markets—like PolyMarket and Kalashi—are routinely flooded with “dark money” which may be manipulating public perception of prominent political races, specifically the NYC mayoral race between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo. Could the race be a lot closer than we are expecting? 3:20pm- According to a new poll from Quantus Insights, 53% of New Jersey voters believe their friends, co-workers, and neighbors will be voting for Republican Jack Ciattarelli—compared with just 47% for Democrat Mikie Sherrill. Is this a sign that Ciattarelli has momentum less than a week before Election Day? 3:30pm- Congressman Scott Perry—U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the ongoing government shutdown, the House Oversight Committee's investigation into former President Joe Biden's use of the autopen, and he even references the film Tombstone! 3:50pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping—agreeing to reduce tariffs in exchange for easing restrictions on the trade of rare earth minerals. 4:05pm- According to a report from New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan, prediction markets—like PolyMarket and Kalashi—are routinely flooded with “dark money” which may be manipulating public perception of prominent political races, specifically the NYC mayoral race between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo. Could the race be a lot closer than we are expecting? 4:30pm- Remember when President Donald Trump called into the show on election night and joked that he hoped Rich's ratings went to zero because he wants the whole audience in line voting? Matt hasn't forgotten and he loves to play the clip out of context. PLUS, Rich commits a major bathroom blunder! 5:00pm- The House Oversight Committee has released a video featuring testimony from several Biden administration officials—including Ron Klain, Ian Sams, and Karine Jean Pierre. 5:15pm- House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comey is demanding the Department of Justice investigate former President Joe Biden's use of the autopen—suggesting the administration covered up Biden's cognitive decline and, consequently, his autopen actions should be “void.” 5:20pm- According to a new poll from Quantus Insights, 53% of New Jersey voters believe their friends, co-workers, and neighbors will be voting for Republican Jack Ciattarelli—compared with just 47% for Democrat Mikie Sherrill. Is this a sign that Ciattarelli has momentum less than a week before Election Day? 5:45pm- Rich and producer Sean have a conversation about the predations of big government, the “District Clause” in Article I of the U.S. Constitution, and taxation without representation. 6:00pm- Early voting in New Jersey began on Saturday, October 25th. According to reports, “unaffiliated” voter turnout is already up—and most polling seems to indicate those voters will prefer Jack Ciattarelli over Mikie Sherrill. 6:20pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would begin testing nuclear weapons—though, he didn't specify whether the tests will be of nuclear warheads or the missile/delivery systems that carry them. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladmir Putin has announced a new underwater nuclear-capable missile known as Poseidon—which can supposedly generate a tsunami powerful enough to destroy a coastal city. 6:40pm- In the final years of the Biden administration, White House Spokesperson Ian Sams claimed to meet with the President Joe Biden “every single day”—appearing on television regularly to vouch for Biden's cognitive abilities. However, in recent testimony provided to the House Oversight Committee, Sams revealed he only met with Biden “three or four times” in the two years he served in the administration!

PREVIEW: Impact of Israeli 'Decap' Strikes on Iran's Secret Nuclear Weapons Program Guest: David Albright David Albright assesses the impact of Israeli "decap" strikes against scientists and engineers in Iran's secret nuclear weapons program. While capable personnel can be replaced, the program's intensely secretive nature means vital technical details died with the individuals, creating a significant bottleneck in program continuity. These details, often uncommitted to paper and held solely in specialists' minds, require considerable time to reconstitute, potentially delaying the program by months or longer.

Trump's Nuclear Testing Remarks and the China-Russia Partnership Guest: Anatol Lieven Anatol Lieven discusses President Trump's remark about testing nuclear weapons "on an equal basis" with Russia and China, suggesting it likely refers to missile testing rather than actual nuclear detonations. Lieven analyzes the "no limits" China-Russia partnership, noting its inherent contradictions: China refuses to recognize Russia's annexations of Ukrainian territory and fears Russia's complete defeat, though it simultaneously opposes Russia being gravely weakened. Lieven also addresses the controversy regarding NATO-supplied forces in Ukraine identified as extreme ethnic nationalists, particularly the Azov regiment, noting that their military importance to the defense effort makes disbanding them highly unlikely.

President Trump announced this week, that he has ordered the Department of War to “immediately” start testing nuclear weapons, something the United States has not done since 1992 at the end of the Cold War. Trump's statement came just an hour before he was scheduled to hold a high stakes meeting in South Korea with Chinese President Xi Jinping and also after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the successful tests of two nuclear powered, nuclear capable weapons systems–a cruise missile and an underwater drone. The US Senate today, voted to nuke President Trump's tariffs on Canada. This is the second time this year that the Senate has voted to repeal President Trump's tariffs on Canada.

President Trump's long-awaited meeting with China's Xi Jinping has resulted in some success or both sides, with agreements on rare earth minerals and tariffs. But while these deals may be a welcome sign of diplomatic engagement, Trump's unexpected order to start nuclear weapons testing again, for the first time in 30 years, grabbed the bigger headlines. Matt Pottinger was Trump's Deputy National Security Adviser during his first term, and he joins the program from Utah.  Also on today's show: Patrick Gaspard, confidant of NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani; author Julia Ioffe ("Motherland")  Learn more about your ad choices.
