Leilani Dowding is a former Page 3 model who dives deep into controversial topics ranging from mass immigration and its impact on women to refugee hotels and immigrant family reunification. She discusses Ross Kemp's perspective on immigration, the ongoing hotel crisis in Britain, and how immigration is reshaping our economy. Leilani also compares America's immigration policies, shares skepticism toward the #MeToo movement, and explores Hollywood's infamous casting couch, including the Neil Gaiman allegations.  She addresses criticism faced by celebrities like Kirstie Allsopp and Gregg Wallace, debates surrounding Russell Brand, and exposes hypocrisy in conversations about objectification and her own journey from Page 3 fame to more extreme ventures. From legality questions to accusations of hypocrisy, this candid interview also touches on modern taboos around sexuality, objectification, and feminist critique, highlighting influential figures like Lily Phillips, Bonnie Blue, and revealing a heretic she truly admires.

The Tucker Carlson Show Key Takeaways  “Gold, on some level, is a hedge – an insurance policy – against the existing system, as it has been allowed to evolve over the last 50 years.” – Luke Gromen Gold serves as an anchor to reality: Establishment powers do not want gold to come back into the system because it is easier to run fiscal deficits without it Throughout history, the first thing that autocrats tend to do once they seize power is remove the convertibility of their currency to goldYou are a free person as long as you can convert your currency into gold, but when you can no longer do that, your vote does not matter “Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.” – Mayer Amschel Rothschild Throughout history, the first thing that autocrats tend to do once they seize power is remove the convertibility of their currency to gold “It has become clear that the status quo dollar system has become an acute national security threat to the United States on two fronts.” – Luke GromenThe US cannot make weapons fast enough to credibly defend itself or its allies The debt has gotten so high that it has become its threat to national securityDollar Dutch Disease has weakened America and hurt the everyday American  The US borrows money from China to build weapons (which require Chinese components) to face China  – this is not a great geopolitical strategy considering China is the biggest adversary of the United States The debt creates the problem: Introducing deflationary forces, such as an AI productivity boom or an energy breakthrough, to a debt-based system can cause it to implode  JD Vance has specifically said that the dollar's reserve currency status may not be a good thing for the United States“At some point, Bitcoin might compete with [gold], but that's far down the road.” – Luke Gromen  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMore gold is being shipped quietly between countries right now than at any time in history.

Dr. Rachel Zimmer opens up the deep connections between food access, health, and policy in this heartfelt episode of The Hygge Nurse Podcast. She shares personal experiences that have shaped her passion for food as medicine and discusses the real-life impact of programs like SNAP, WIC, Meals on Wheels, and produce prescription initiatives. With policy changes threatening the accessibility of these vital resources, Rachel highlights the human cost of food insecurity and the importance of community-driven solutions.Key Takeaways: ✔️ Food is medicine – Nutrition isn't just about eating; it's a fundamental pillar of health and disease prevention. ✔️ Social determinants of health matter – Up to 80% of health outcomes are shaped by housing, food security, and transportation factors. ✔️ Policy decisions have real-life consequences – Cuts to food assistance programs disproportionately harm low-income families, older adults, and people with chronic illnesses. ✔️ Community-driven solutions work – Research-backed interventions like produce prescription programs show measurable health improvements. ✔️ We all have a role to play – Volunteering, advocating, and fostering connectedness can create healthier, more compassionate communities.Ways to Get Involved:

Disinformation Specialists at Their Very Best Social Media:  Vessels of Misinformation Social Media — A Vessel of Untruths The entire globe is facing information wars of an unprecedented nature. Social media is the transporter of misinformation and disinformation. Big Tech has been under fire for not implementing enough measures to uphold the democratic process and increase transparency. These platforms are the primary sources of (fake)news across the globe, and even with efficient fact-checkers, they cannot filter out the untruths, which travel further and faster than facts. Summary of Perils Human beings are inherently complacent and callous about affairs that do not personally disrupt their lives. With over 2.77 million users, social media is one such universal disrupter. Digital platforms are the most convenient mode of communication to keep in touch with loved ones, entertainment news, and engaging with like-minded people and brands. However, with the advent of social media, society has been introduced to numerous afflictions like cyberbullying, teen depression, hate speech, false information surrounding democratic processes, the coordination of terrorist groups, and many more. There have been documented lynchings and deaths in many parts of India due to false news spread via social media. These attacks have been aimed at religious minorities in an effort to establish an authoritarian Hindu Nationalist government in India. In a more recent news discovery, these same Hindu Nationalists have been found to be spreading their right-wing agenda through the Indian American diaspora to influence the 2020 US Presidential election. The 2016 US Presidential election has already been tainted due to propaganda spread by external parties on social media. Our sovereignty seems to have been compromised and the 2020 US Presidential election has been described as a billion-dollar disinformation war. The Coronavirus pandemic suffered at the hand of misinformation spread via social media as well. Our leaders failed us, media outlets failed us, and misinformation on social media platforms became the nail in the coffin. Some examples of misinformation were bogus treatments and cures, conspiracy theories about the origins of the virus, and inaccurate information on testing facilities. What Next? Sinan Aral, author of “The Hype Machine: How Social Media Disrupts Our Elections, Our Economy, and Our Health — and How We Must Adapt.” aptly draws attention to move past the discussion of whether “Social Media is Good or Bad”. He encourages us to deliberate over how we must adapt and consciously nudge ourselves to be more reflective, leading with values that make us a flourishing society. The ad-based revenue model to capture audience attention, which is a precursor to persuasion, must be re-engineered. It is the 21st century and social media platforms are still allowing heinous and vile content to be published under the garb of “freedom of speech”. The people must take action and ensure these gigantic corporations running information across platforms are regulated and that they align themselves with principles and ethics that hold people accountable for malicious and irresponsible acts. Corporate corruption must cease to exist in the government. Integrity is an unknown characteristic in many global leaders today, who are willing to lie, cheat, and deceive to benefit their agenda and themselves. Therefore, people must gain awareness, protect themselves and their loved ones from these vicious establishments. Preserve our Empathy The air of racial tension around the world is burdensome. Empathy heals divides. Empathy's most avid promoters have strongly felt its absence. The current global climate rewards the pursuit of self-serving goals. That is exactly what the big technology companies, pharmaceuticals, and corporations are doing. The world needs more than just lip-service from these organizations. I urge all of us to be more cognizant of the struggles of people different from us and hold institutions accountable for unjust activities. Parents, educators, teachers must instill future generations with a strong sense of empathy. With the current trend, we are not far from a catastrophic crisis that transcends borders and races. Digital applications do make our life more colorful, but we must be very cautious about the hype surrounding social media platforms.

"How to Save Our Health, Our Economy, Our Communities, and Our Planet – One Bite at a Time"

This week, Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt look at the most powerful and divisive generational cohort of them all: boomers. The people born between 1946 and 1964 have been credited, and blamed, for creating the world we live in. They're the 60s generation, the Me generation, the Reagan generation and the Third Way generation. Where they lead, the world follows. Now that most of them have passed the age of 60, they are allegedly at war with millennials over their legacy: OK, boomer. But does it really make sense to generalise about a cohort which extends from Dolly Parton to Donald Trump, and Theresa May to Prince? And what is a generation anyway? Ian (early millennial) and Dorian (late Gen X) discuss the roots of generation theory, track the boomers' rise to power and assess the charges that boomers and millennials throw at each other across the divide. Is the generation gap bigger than ever or a phoney war cooked up by politicians and the media?

Telling the story of our huge economy means telling the story of the people navigating its powerful and often clashing currents. While reports show a healthy economy right now, millions of Americans feel anxious about their financial prospects. Older Americans worry that AI may soon replace them. Meanwhile, some young people feel a sense of “perma-pessimism” after living through two recessions since 2007. These concerns, of course, may shape political choices in 2024. USA TODAY White House Correspondent Joey Garrison and USA TODAY Money Reporter Bailey Schulz join the 5 Things podcast to discuss America's economic and political landscape. This is part of an ongoing special podcast series we're calling “Our Economy.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With conference season nearly winding down, attention in Westminster is turning to the big event of the autumn: the fiscal statement. The Institute of Fiscal Studies is looking ahead to what Chancellor Jeremy Hunt might do, it warns Britain is in a “horrible fiscal bind”. Our Economy reporter Tom Rees joins to explain why. Labour's flagship policy response: build more houses and overrule people saying 'Not In My Back Yard' (NIMBY). Former Bank of England Economist Kate Barker led a review into housing supply 20 years ago. She talks to us about her view on Keir Starmer's plans and how much economic growth they really can achieve.

Why Have We Suspended Common Sense? When Does It End !!?? TREASON!  The Biden Crime Family received millions of dollars from China for the peddling of their influence in America.  Proof of records clearly shows the Bidens were in the pockets of China.  Impeachment proceedings against Trump were initiated a few years ago for geometrically less evidence!  Public schools ~ a gift to the teachers' union. The broken border ~ a gift to the Cartel. Foreign Policy ~ a gift to China. Our Economy ~ a gift to NO ONE.  The truth is out, America is getting WEAKER.  Biden's new normal ~ Lower expectations and raise taxes.  Dems now know there is no economic growth in sights.  The political wrongdoers and the woke media need to be ‘turned off'.  Why Have We Suspended Common Sense?

In today's show, Trish Regan examines the risk to our markets in the coming months as her guest--investor Neil Grossman--predicts a MASSIVE PLUNGE that will cause the S&P to test the lows of 2008.  Neil Grossman tells Trish there are dire times ahead...and these challenges will last a decade. He's never been so bearish and he blames the U.S. government for its nonstop fiscal and monetary stimulus that have created this looming disaster. Neil is the former founder and chief investment officer at the hedge fund TKNG Capital Partners. He also ran the Proprietary Trading Group for global rates and currencies at JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank, where he ran large derivatives portfolios. In addition to his finance career, Neil is a mathematician, physicist and former corporate lawyer. He practiced corporate law at a major New York firm before his career in finance. He graduated with a JD from the Columbia University School of Law, and has an M.S. and B.S. in Fluid Dynamics from the Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science. In addition, Grossman did his post graduate studies at the University of Cambridge in the the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.  Neil uses his background in math and physics to examine current trends in markets... and right now...all signs point to trouble.  Join Trish on today's program to hear more and find out why we may be heading towards massive declines in the stock market...and importantly, what you can do to prepare and protect yourself.  Also - DON'T FORGET to sign up for the LIVE Town Hall Event on "The State of Our Economy" where you can speak with Trish Regan and her guests directly at https://TrishRegan.Locals.com.

What does it mean to choose a High Road Future for Our Economy? That's the theme of today's episode featuring Saru Jayaraman (One Fair Wage). Today's episode is as pertinent now as it was when originally recorded in the winter of 2018.

We analyse whether there was anything but jam tomorrow from the chancer Chancellor in his Spring Statement. During a historic cost of living crisis, has Rishi Sunak come anywhere close to meeting the moment? Plus, as scandals surrounding Boris Johnson and his Government resurface, we dive into the sleaze. Will Davies, a professor in political economy and co-author of Unprecedented?: How COVID-19 Revealed the Politics of Our Economy, is this week's guest.  “This statement struck the wrong note for the challenge we as a country are facing.” – Alex Andreou “It is useful for Johnson to draw a line between himself and Europe, and the EU can get more done without Britain.” – Ros Taylor  “Johnson will no doubt want to use Ukraine in any way he can to distract from partygate.” – Will Davies “Sunak had the choice of doing right by the country or right by the party, and he chose the latter.” – Alex Andreou www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Alex Andreou and Ros Taylor.

Whether we call it Facebook or the recently coined Meta, the Silicon Valley tech giant founded by Mark Zuckerberg has rarely been out of the headlines since its inception over a decade ago and rarely have those headlines been good news. From Cambridge Analytica to the United States Capitol attack, the company's utopian ideals of connecting up society seem to often have the opposite effect. However, millions of people use it to lead their daily lives, from staying in touch with each other to building businesses on its networks. Is it time to break up Facebook? To find out, economist and broadcaster Linda Yueh is joined by Matt Stoller, Director of Research at the American Economic Liberties Project and author of Goliath: The Hundred Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy, and Sinan Aral, Professor of Management, IT, Marketing and Data Science at MIT, and author of The Hype Machine: How Social Media Disrupts Our Elections, Our Economy and Our Health – and How We Must Adapt.

What a year for books 2021 has been! It seems like authors, editors and publishers have all been working overtime this year to bring us some incredible new content. Books that have challenged our beliefs, calmed our anxieties and transformed our habits.  To help us with the mammoth job of summarizing the best behavioral science books from 2021, we are joined by the incredible Louise Ward, who has read over 100 books this year! Louise is the co-host of the Behavioural Science Club, a LinkedIn group established in June 2020 now with over 5,000 members. If you haven't yet joined the club, you definitely should. Today. Alongside co-host Prakash Sharma, the Behavioural Science Club interviews top authors each week about fascinating new insights in human behavior. In our discussion with Louise, we noticed some trends among our favorite books. One is that we are moving past the presumption that humans are flawed and irrational. Books such as Useful Delusions and Nudge focus instead on the evolutionary usefulness of our biases and heuristics. In addition, we loved that after reading books on heavy topics such as suffering (The Sweet Spot), racial inequalities (The Person You Mean to Be) or conspiracy theories (How to Talk to a Science Denier), we were still left with a feeling of hope and optimism. And if you're new to behavioral science and wondering how to get started or underestimating the impact you can make as an individual, there was an empowering theme to this year's books too. Dive into You Have More Influence Than You Think to recognize how you can make an impact on people, You're Invited to reflect on the connections you make in your life or Non Obvious Megatrends to start noticing more of the world around you.  We would LOVE to hear your favorite books of 2021. Did your favorites overlap with ours? Please send us an email at info@behavioralgrooves.com, or connect with us on social media with your top reads of the year.

10.29.21 - Our Economy is Changing, What to Do with Your Money

Sinan Aral has spent two decades studying how social media impacts our lives, from how we think about politics to how we find a romantic partner. He argues that we're now at the crossroads of a decade of techno-utopianism followed by a decade of techno-dystopianism. How to reconcile the promise and peril of social media is one of the biggest questions facing democracy today.Aral is the David Austin Professor of Management, Marketing, IT, and Data Science at MIT; director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy; and head of MIT's Social Analytics Lab. He is the author of The Hype Machine: How Social Media Disrupts Our Elections, Our Economy, and Our Health — And How We Must Adapt .In his book and in this conversation, Aral goes under the hood of the biggest, most powerful social networks to tackle the critical question of just how much social media actually shapes our choices, for better or worse.Additional InformationThe Hype MachineSinan Aral on TwitterRelated EpisodesFacebook is not a democracyFree speech from the Founding Fathers to Twitter

Richard Cordray, former director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), discussed his new book, "Watchdog: How Protecting Consumers Can Save Our Families, Our Economy, and Our Democracy." Growing problems in the increasingly one-sided finance markets blew up the economy in 2008. In the aftermath, Congress created the CFPB. Sharing the stories of individual consumers, Watchdog shows how the Bureau quickly became a powerful force for good, suing big banks for cheating or deceiving consumers, putting limits on predatory lenders, simplifying mortgage paperwork, and stepping in to help solve problems raised by individual consumers. Cordray also discussed recent developments, including the Supreme Court's Seila Law decision, as well as what consumer protection may look like under a Biden administration.

Jason Hartman hosts an interesting interview with Professor Laurence Kotlikoff, author of The Clash of Generations: Saving Ourselves, Our Kids, Our Economy, regarding the problems with the economy and the effect that the astronomical national debt and government spending will have on generations to come. Professor Kotlikoff paints a picture of the magnitude of these issues very clearly, explaining that the fiscal gap is $211 trillion. He explains that we would have to raise every federal tax immediately and permanently by 64 percent or cut all non-interest spending by the government (Medicare, Social Security, defense spending, etc) by 40 percent. “The country is broke, totally broke,” says Professor Kotlikoff. He emphasizes that this applies to today, not 75 years down the road. Jason and Professor Kotlikoff also discuss why the 2007 quadrupled money base through money printing hasn't hit the streets yet in the form of hyperinflation. Essentially, banks are being bribed to hold money reserves by the Fed. In simplistic terms, the Federal Reserve prints the money, lends it out at very low interest rates to the banks, and then the banks deposit it back with the Federal Reserve and get a higher interest rate. This makes banks more solvent over time without the public ever knowing what is going on. Professor Kotlikoff also talks about a proposal to fix the financial system, which he refers to as a fragile system, presently a “trust me” banking system where the public is unaware of what the banks are doing with their money. Laurence J. Kotlikoff is a William Fairfield Warren Professor at Boston University, a Professor of Economics at Boston University, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Fellow of the Econometric Society, a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, President of Economic Security Planning, Inc., a company specializing in financial planning software, a frequent columnist for Bloomberg and Forbes, and a blogger for The Economist and The Huffington Post. Professor Kotlikoff received his B.A. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1973 and his Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University in 1977. From 1977 through 1983 he served on the faculties of economics of the University of California, Los Angeles and Yale University. In 1981-82 Professor Kotlikoff was a Senior Economist with the President's Council of Economic Advisers. Professor Kotlikoff is author or co-author of 15 books and hundreds of professional journal articles. His most recent books are The Clash of Generations (co-authored with Scott Burns, MIT Press), Jimmy Stewart Is Dead (John Wiley & Sons), Spend ‘Til the End, (co-authored with Scott Burns, Simon & Schuster), The Healthcare Fix (MIT Press), and The Coming Generational Storm (co-authored with Scott Burns, MIT Press). Professor Kotlikoff publishes extensively in newspapers, and magazines on issues of financial reform, personal finance, taxes, Social Security, healthcare, deficits, generational accounting, pensions, saving, and insurance. Professor Kotlikoff has served as a consultant to the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Harvard Institute for International Development, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Swedish Ministry of Finance, the Norwegian Ministry of Finance, the Bank of Italy, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of England, the Government of Russia, the Government of Ukraine, the Government of Bolivia, the Government of Bulgaria, the Treasury of New Zealand, the Office of Management and Budget, the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Joint Committee on Taxation, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, The American Council of Life Insurance, Merrill Lynch, Fidelity Investments, AT&T, AON Corp., and other major U.S. corporations. He has provided expert testimony on numerous occasions to committees of Congress including the Senate Finance Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee, and the Joint Economic Committee.

Jason Hartman hosts an interesting interview with Professor Laurence Kotlikoff, author of The Clash of Generations: Saving Ourselves, Our Kids, Our Economy, regarding the problems with the economy and the effect that the astronomical national debt and government spending will have on generations to come. Professor Kotlikoff paints a picture of the magnitude of these issues very clearly, explaining that the fiscal gap is $211 trillion. He explains that we would have to raise every federal tax immediately and permanently by 64 percent or cut all non-interest spending by the government (Medicare, Social Security, defense spending, etc) by 40 percent. “The country is broke, totally broke,” says Professor Kotlikoff. He emphasizes that this applies to today, not 75 years down the road. Jason and Professor Kotlikoff also discuss why the 2007 quadrupled money base through money printing hasn't hit the streets yet in the form of hyperinflation. Essentially, banks are being bribed to hold money reserves by the Fed.In simplistic terms, the Federal Reserve prints the money, lends it out at very low interest rates to the banks, and then the banks deposit it back with the Federal Reserve and get a higher interest rate. This makes banks more solvent over time without the public ever knowing what is going on. Professor Kotlikoff also talks about a proposal to fix the financial system, which he refers to as a fragile system, presently a “trust me” banking system where the public is unaware of what the banks are doing with their money.
