Late Nite

Two years after October 7th, the Comedy Cellar hosts Bret Stephens (New York Times), Coleman Hughes (The Free Press), and Michael Moynihan (The Fifth Column) for a discussion of how the Hamas war against Israel ignited something larger — and perhaps more enduring. The panel explores: How sympathy for Israel inverted almost overnight into hostility toward Jews. The emergence of “October 8th Jews” and the new sense of isolation in America. The Plight of the Long Suffering Palestinians Double Standards The rise of conspiratorial right-wing rhetoric and the failure of moderates to confront it.

Series: “Manhood” Title: “The Plight of Man” In this episode, Dan continues to examine what, precisely, Josh Hawley, thinks the problems are that confront American men. Hawley consistently ignores history and the actual complexity of American society to make his points. But why does he do this? Why is he so concerned with “manhood” at all? And how does this supposed concern express a deeper Christian nationalist agenda? Listen to this week's episode to find out!

On deck: (6:40) A quick housekeeping note as I'll release my latest vlog on the YouTube channel, reliving and remembering Shea Stadium. If you've watched my video regarding the old Yankee Stadium, then you'll definitely love this one. Please show the channel some love by subscribing, like and leave a comment. I'd really appreciate it. (7:42) How have the Tigers fallen from AL powerhouse to scratching and clawing just to qualify for the MLB playoffs? While the Mets are doing the same in the NL with just four games to go? I'll unpack their plights and will they survive to see another postseason? Are the Yankees going to end up winning the AL East? Let the drama begins as the final weekend of the MLB season is almost here. (35:18) NFL Week 4 has excellent games in every window (PHI-TB at 1pm, BAL-KC at 4:25 & GB-DAL at 8:20) with the first international game set at 9:30am ET (MIN-PIT), but not much else. Also, a change at QB in NY has the Jaxson Dart era commencing earlier than expected. Is this a panic move from the head coach, Brian Daboll? (47:58) College football has three big games upcoming, but why is Alabama-Georgia and Oregon-Penn State on simultaneously in primetime? (51:30) The WNBA playoffs have been entertaining to date. Now you have the Phoenix Mercury making it a series against the heavily favored Minnesota Lynx, tied at 1-1. Plus, how can you justify firing a head coach not even one year removed from winning at title. That's what the Liberty did to Sandy Brondello. I also squeeze in an NBA point on Fred VanVleet tearing his ACL and what that does for the Houston Rockets this season? (1:00:43) A highly anticipated Ryder Cup is on the docket this weekend out at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, NY.

The plight of ethnic Uyghurs in China runs much deeper than it might appear at first glance.

"The wolf is the devil in hundreds and hundreds of years of storytelling. If you're talking about the devil's right hand it's very difficult to talk about proper population sizes or quotas; you just want to get rid of him."Imagine the reaction if the headlines proclaimed that Sri Lanka was to kill half its leopards, or Costa Rica half its jaguars.

It's a cycle that has been happening since the late 1800s. The need for agricultural labor in California is a cycle of bringing in labor and then deporting them when they become too visible. Elaine Chukan Brown, wine writer and author of recently published The Wines of California, describes the history, current situation with new regulations and deportation, and the tension put on vineyard workers' wages in California and their impacts on the labor market and vineyard workers. Detailed Show Notes: The Wines of California covers 3 sections: How we got here - the history and what context allowed things to happenWhere we go - the growing regions and key producersWhat we're facing - marketing challenges, climate changeInterest in farmworkers started with Salud, a medical program for vineyard workers and their familiesHas mobile and physical clinicsSuccessful because it provides care for workers and their familiesCA is the largest farm region in the USExports 40% of ag productionBecame nationally relevant in the 1900s, which led to the need for farm laborSources of farm labor (in chronological order)Indigenous people (until smallpox outbreak and reservations)China - exchanged labor for citizenship, after 10-15 years, expelled Chinese with the Chinese Exclusion ActJapanIndiaBlack sharecroppers from the South (small group)Mango (Philippines)Mexico (post WWII) - led to the current H2A programWhen labor populations grow and get too big, they are expelled, which has been in ~20-year cyclesH2A Program - temporary work visa programCannot be extended or transferred to another employerEmployers must provide housing & transportationBiases towards big business to deal w/ complianceFDR (1930s/40s) - Labor Protections Act created worker protections, but excluded agricultureUnited Farmworkers (1975) - 1st farmworker protection legislationAssociation of Farmers - farm wonders banded together to have more leverage against workersEver-growing CA labor regulations create large compliance requirements that end up favoring big businessCurrent system sets up farm workers' wages as the only lever for farm owners to maintain profit margins and be economically viable (w/w/o gov't subsidies)New CA farmworker overtime pay law - 8 hours/day, 40 hours/week before overtimeDerived from an office worker's perspectiveDoes not match the seasonal work of agricultureEmployers have small margins, can't afford overtime ratesWorkers make less money and need to get 2nd or 3rd jobsIf workers get injured at 2nd job, workers' comp does not cover wages of the main jobEmployers need to find more workers to do the same amount of work, and lose the experience and skills of the current workforceMany crops (e.g., strawberries, peaches) need manual labor and can't be mechanizedICE raids & deportations: not a new thing, but what's new is people with documentation (visas, amnesty recipients, citizens) are being detained and deportedCreating fear, workers not showing up to work (some regions report a 70% drop in workers)Workers not going to farms on main roads (too visible)Families choose 1 member to go ot work, the other stays home to take care of the kidsHistorically, when the safety of workers is an issue, workers don't respond to higher payUS tariffs increase prices to consumers, decreasing sales; it may take decades for consumers to substitute for domestic wines Hosted on Acast.

The Church Once Shaped the World Through Beauty—Can We Help Restore Its Influence Again? For centuries, the Christian faith was the driving force behind breathtaking art, transcendent music, and the very fabric of Western culture. But somewhere along the way, the church lost its influence—and with it, our society became less attuned to the transcendent power of beauty to point hearts to God. How did we get here, and most importantly, how can parents reclaim beauty as a powerful tool for reaching a generation that’s grown deaf to lectures and argument? In this compelling episode, Catherine is joined by multi-talented artist, philosopher, and theologian Isaac Gay—an accomplished musician, singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, and founder of The Parallel Society, a ministry devoted to discipling artists and restoring creativity in the church. Isaac and his wife Emily have spent nearly two decades planting churches, building prayer rooms, and nurturing creative communities in some of the most secular cities in the West—while also raising three boys of their own. Key Insights & Takeaways: Beauty as a Lost Apologetic: Discover why beauty is the most overlooked, and perhaps most powerful, way for Christians to influence culture today. “Beauty just might be our most powerful apologetic,” Catherine declares, underscoring its unique role in capturing hearts in a post-truth society. The Biblical Foundation of Creativity: Learn how the very first thing Scripture tells us about God isn’t that He’s a king, or father—but that He is a Creator, bringing order out of chaos. And why that means that every parent, regardless of natural talent, is called to be creative too. History’s Lessons: Journey from the Renaissance and beyond to see how the church used to set the standard for art, music, and culture. Why did Christians abdicate that position of influence, and how did utilitarian thinking, fundamentalism, and a sacred/secular divide contribute to exile of the arts? The Plight—and Calling—of Christian Artists: Hear Isaac’s own story of exchanging Broadway dreams for full-time ministry, and the tension so many creative Christians face when their gifts seem at odds with church expectations. “You are joining God, the ultimate creator, in the act of the most beautiful piece of art and creativity that has ever been created,” Isaac encourages all parents. Why Lectures Don’t Reach Culture (But Stories Do): The world isn’t tuning into our sermons—they’re going to movies, reading novels, and being shaped by art. Find out why reclaiming creativity in the church isn’t optional, but essential if we want to influence the next generation. Notable Moments: The astonishing significance of the first person in Scripture filled with the Holy Spirit (hint: he was an artist, not a preacher!) Stories from church history, the Renaissance, and the power of artists as “missionaries” to culture. A moving discussion on how even parenting itself is an act of creativity, forming order and beauty from chaos. The church hasn’t just neglected the arts—it’s handed the cultural keys to the world, often settling for copying what’s popular instead of shaping what’s meaningful. What could happen if Christian parents and churches reclaimed beauty—not just in our sanctuaries, but in our homes, our parenting, and our calling? Listen in and consider:How are you nurturing the creative spark God gave your children? In what ways could reclaiming beauty and imagination in your home, church, or community become the bridge to the gospel your world desperately needs? Don’t miss Part 2—where Isaac will be joined by his wife Emily for an even deeper dive into the practical steps of nurturing Christian creativity and restoring the church as a wellspring of beauty and culture. About the Guest: Isaac Gay is a modern-day renaissance man with a background in theatre, music, and ministry. As the founder of The Parallel Society, he equips Christian artists to use their gifts for cultural renewal and gospel advance. His work with his wife Emily has built creative communities and fostered discipleship of artists across the U.S. Episode Resources: Isaac’s Website & Instagram The Parallel Society The Prodigal by Isaac Gay For resources, free guides for parents, and more on nurturing creativity in your kids, visit catherine@catherinesegars.com. Stay curious. Stay creative. Let’s raise a new generation of culture-makers—one story, painting, song, or act of love at a time.

Dr. Rick LeCouteur, a retired veterinary neurosurgeon, discusses his transition to writing children's books aimed at educating young readers about wildlife and the environment.

First, our sincere apologies — the first 15:23 minutes of the audio are faint due to technical issues. At our Premium Worship and Prayers, Pastor Femi Paul shared God's word titled CANCELLATION OF PLIGHT! Reading from Genesis 30:22 (NLT), we learnt that God remembered Rachel's plight and answered her prayers by enabling her. A plight is a serious and difficult situation that can overshadow your other achievements - a heavy burden, a thorn in the flesh, a source of grief or vexation. The message reminded us that God is able to remember our personal plights and provide what will permanently erase them. Rachel's story (Genesis 30:1-2, NLT) reminds us that sometimes, even the people around us cannot solve our plight - only God can. Jacob said plainly, “Am I God? He's the one who has kept you…” From Genesis 30:1a (CEB) - “When Rachel realised…” Pastor asked us: What are you finally realising about your own life? Pray about it now! This was a call to bring our deepest burdens before the Lord, trusting Him for divine intervention that will erase every long-standing sorrow.

Spread across the Earth's oceans, the Chinese distant-water fishing fleet is the single largest armada in human history. This three-part series is an unprecedented investigation into their secretive fishing practices. The fleet is so gargantuan that even the Chinese government can't account for all its vessels. We do know it has hauled in more than 35 billion dollars worth of catch per year and has sold it across the globe — and yet, almost nothing was known about its practices. That is, until The Outlaw Ocean team started asking questions.Episode highlights:North Korean labour is forced labour by definition — nobody has a choice. Officially, China is in line with the rest of the UN Security Council in sanctioning North Korea and its regime-funding labour. But, unofficially, since 2017, China has quietly but consistently violated those sanctions. This is an open secret China has successfully kept hidden from the West. Until now.Despite the prohibition against North Korean labour, the US state department estimates that there are over 100,000 North Korean workers currently in China. We set out to humanize these numbers, compare them to Chinese data, and connect some dots. But first we reckon with the fact that local people helping us with this reporting are risking everything from espionage charges to execution. But even despite the extreme risks, two dozen workers agreed to talk to us, and be quoted by an interpreter. Their rare testimonies tell of rampant sexual assault, violence, constant monitoring and zero access to the outside world. Finally, we manage to connect the dots from these testimonies to seafood being shipped to American importers that supply major retailers like Walmart, McDonald's and Sysco - the largest food distributor on the planet. Host Ian Urbina reflects on the invisible dots of plausible deniability, which are built into the whole system. These are the dots that connect Indonesian slave labour on a ship to Uyghur labour in a factory to a grocery store down the block from your house.

Brandon Tierney unleashes a fiery tirade against the New York Mets, dissecting their colossal meltdown with brutal honesty. He lambasts every facet of the team, from the "disaster" pitching and "mess" hitting to the questionable managerial decisions and, most critically, the perceived failures of general manager David Stearns. Tierney doesn't pull punches, highlighting the Mets' $325 million payroll and lofty aspirations, contrasting them sharply with their "wretched, unacceptable, disgusting, gross" play and lack of leadership. He expresses deep frustration with the team's inability to live up to expectations, questioning their very foundation and the general manager's adaptability to fix the glaring issues plaguing the once-promising franchise.

Inevitably, open eyes always seem to turn upward. Our faith and our refusal to bow are weapons forged in darkness. The American air industry is now in chaos. Combine airlines, aviation, national security, and the heavy infiltration of Chinese risk. Maintenance scares and hub battles. Where are the reasonable fares? The US Govt buys tickets in bulk? Huh? Looks like money laundering. Eliminate brokers for a start. Operating on a debt based closed structure. Amy Klobuchar is up to her neck in all of this. Firmware is very hard to inspect. Counterfeit avionics is a real threat. When pilots can't override the AI. Let's build a national aircraft security program. All domestic flights need more scrutiny. Chip technology has risks too. China (Taiwan) produces 90% of high level chips. Yes to mandatory source audits. Flight ready seals and instant response protocols. Software components are hackable. Compromised chips are everywhere. All airlines are leased. Even the F35 has Chinese components. We need a Federal National Airline Program. Why not lease at cost and back it with the Defense Dept? Lower costs, safer skies. Restore jobs plus national security. We should no longer out source the wings we fly on. Not when our families are on board.

So much is happening so quickly to the National Park Service. There have been staff reductions, hiring freezes, spending freezes, orders from the Interior Secretary to make sure that visitors find national parks welcoming, no matter what it takes.  Every week seems to bring something new, and quite frankly dire to the National Park Service. Most recently we've heard about the loss of about 60 employees from the agency's Alaska regional office, and there are concerns the Trump administration is going to push through even greater reductions in force for the Park Service. How are those moves impacting the parks and the Park Service? Our guest today is Kristen Brengel, the Senior Vice President for Governmental Affairs at the National Parks Conservation Association. 

Asparagus, lesbian family rights and Viktor Orbán's latest power plays: like all good meals, this podcast episode is perfectly balanced. German food writer Ursula Heinzelmann joins us to explain the ‘Spargelzeit' phenomenon that sees foodies going nutty for asparagus at this time of year. We're also taking a look at LGBTQ rights in Italy and unpacking the Hungarian government's plans to ‘starve and strangle' civil society. Can Orbán be stopped?   You can find out more about Ursula's work on her website and follow her on Instagram here.   Thanks for listening. If you have any spare cash this week, please consider donating to Hungarian civil society groups and independent media outlets before the planned passing of the ‘starve and strangle' law in mid-June. UNITED for Intercultural Action, the NGO run by our former guest Philip Pollák, would be extremely grateful for your donations; you can also donate to any of the organisations on this list of Hungarian NGOs (get in touch if you have ideas of organisations to add to this list).   Still got some spare cash?
