Can Canada survive a trade war with the United States that it can't afford to fight? How is Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney handling negotiations? Is he a ‘‘bootlicker” for tabling the Digital Services Tax, as some have said? In Episode 173, Bill dives into the rising tensions between Canada and the U.S., where Trump's aggressive, one-sided negotiation style—and his controversial use of the Emergency Economic Powers Act—have put Canadian industries on the defensive. With no meaningful checks and balances in U.S. politics, tariffs are hitting hard, and sectors like dairy and auto are left dangling in uncertainty. The digital services tax has become a flashpoint, but the deeper issue is clear: Canada's economy is being forced into survival mode by a political landscape we can't control. Bill unpacks the stakes, the shifting dynamics of our most important relationship, and what it will take to defend Canadian interests in a high-stakes global game.

What do Hollywood, Joan Didion, and the Bible have in common? More than you'd expect. In this episode, New York Times film critic and author Alissa Wilkinson joins Dru Johnson to discuss the life, work, and worldview of Joan Didion, one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century. Wilkinson's new book, We Tell Ourselves Stories, explores how Didion made sense of chaos through narrative—and what her work reveals about faith, trauma, politics, and cultural memory. Together, Alissa and Dru explore Didion's insight that stories are not just entertainment; they are survival mechanisms, tools we use to impose order on a chaotic world. But is that all Scripture is—just another human-made narrative? Wilkinson offers a careful reflection on the limits and power of storytelling, showing how Didion's work can challenge both Christian belief and secular mythmaking. They also dive into conspiracy theories, the fusion of politics and Hollywood, and the rise of nostalgia as a cultural sickness. From John Wayne to 9/11 to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this episode traces the invisible threads between the stories we inherit and the truths we cling to. We are listener supported.

Zohran Mamdani leads the New York City mayoral primary with 44 percent of the first-choice vote, ahead of former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has conceded.

In part one of my in-depth conversation with Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, we explore the political and cultural forces shaping the resurgence of psychedelic therapy. We critique the dominant psychiatric paradigm, which has long reduced mental illness to purely neurochemical dysfunction (leading to the rise of SSRIs), ignoring the psychological, social, and spiritual roots of psychological suffering. Carhart-Harris highlights how this narrow framework has failed to address rising rates of depression, PTSD, and OCD. We also discuss the historical reluctance of institutions like the NIH to fund psychedelic research, despite mounting evidence of its therapeutic potential. Under the previous leadership, psychedelic science was sidelined—but with new NIH leadership and a shifting political climate, there is fresh hope for meaningful support. The conversation emphasizes the need for a more holistic, integrative approach to mental health—one that values inner healing, human agency, and the transformative power of psychedelic experiences.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Psychedelic Therapy12:48 The Political Landscape of Psychedelics19:12 The Shift in Mental Health Paradigms36:55 Understanding the Unique Power of Psychedelics48:38 Interconnectedness of Psychology, Biology, and Ethics56:11 Integration After Psychedelic Experiences01:04:10 Critique of NIH and Funding Challenges01:26:20 Psychedelics: Beyond Pharmacological Solutions01:31:35 Expectations and Their Impact on Therapy01:37:23 Efficacy and Side Effects of Psychedelic TherapyPodcast sponsors:1) Trinergy Health offers a 6-month program for mind-body recovery and wellness.

We're almost at the halfway point of Prime Minister Mitsotakis' second term. Despite a few political storms over the past years, New Democracy, the prime minister's party, is riding out a wave of dissatisfaction among voters, holding steady at about 30 percent. At the same time, a rudderless and divided opposition can't seem to translate this into votes. Nektaria Stamouli, the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis as we take a deeper dive into Greece's current political landscape, from the ruling party to the fragmented opposition.

As of the latest updates, there is no specific information available on new statements, interviews, or public appearances by Tucker Carlson from the most recent period. However, it is worth noting that Tucker Carlson has been involved in various discussions and debates, particularly surrounding the realignment of political parties and the shifting allegiances of some public figures.Recently, there has been a focus on the realignment of political parties, with figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Russell Brand, who have all been associated with Democratic or left-leaning politics in the past, now engaging in discussions that reflect a broader shift in political affiliations.

She discusses why it's time for politicians and candidates to go beyond policy points and debates—and start sharing their personal stories, values, and lived experiences through podcasts.

If you're a political candidate, campaign staffer, podcast host, or voter who craves deeper civic engagement, this episode is your roadmap to how podcasting can shift the narrative—and the vote. What Michelle's Talking About... Politics are everywhere and affect our daily lives. Constructive criticism of political parties is essential. Human connection is vital in political engagement. Podcasts can bridge the gap between politicians and voters. Investing in politicians as people fosters community support. Candidates should engage with various podcast platforms.

Bitcoin has dominated headlines, sparked political debates, and divided opinions. Through all the noise, one fact remains: it's been one of the best-performing asset classes of the past decade—but for many, the real significance of this technology is still just starting to sink in. In this episode of Object Subject Form, Simon sits down with Valko, friend, fellow CryptoPunk, and newly appointed Chief of Staff at World Liberty Financial—a decentralized finance platform launched in 2024 to simplify access to digital assets and crypto-backed financial tools.

Whether listeners are crypto-curious or already deep in the space, this conversation offers perspective on why it's no longer a question if they should pay attention.
