Send us a textThis week on the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight, Ruella Menezes , Director of Energy with the Management Consulting Practice at Kline & Company , sits down with Tim Gerdeman, Vice Chair & Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Water Tower Research, and Peter Gastreich, Energy and Sustainable Investing Analyst at Water Tower Research. Together, they dive into the game-changing potential of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for slashing airline emissions, zero in on what's fueling the explosive growth in SAF demand, and unpack the real-world hurdles of getting new projects off the ground. The conversation also takes on the tough question of how airlines can afford SAF when it's still much pricier than fossil jet fuel, explores feedstock bottlenecks and the rise of new production methods, and breaks down the biggest risks ahead—from the need for unified policy to the crucial role of industry collaboration and ongoing innovation.
In this episode, we speak with Nanna Baldvinsdottir, co-founder of IðunnH2, about how Iceland's unique energy system could turn the country into a green fuel bridge between Europe and North America. A veteran of Iceland's power sector, Nanna has spent two decades working in renewables before turning to hydrogen and e-fuels development.Nanna shares how IðunnH2 is developing a 300 MW, ~70,000 tonne-per-year e-SAF project near Keflavík International Airport, designed first to decarbonise Icelandic aviation and only then supply the wider world via book-and-claim. She explains why social licence for new wind power, local energy security, and predictable permitting make Iceland a testbed for scaling e-fuels where other regions are still stuck on the drawing board.Nanna discusses:Why SAF, not hydrogen export, came out on top in IðunnH2's feasibility work – and how switching mid-study unlocked a path to true commercial scale rather than niche pilot projects.The Helguvík project: locating a commercial-scale e-kerosene facility a stone's throw from Iceland's main international airport, using 100% renewable power contracted via long-term PPAs.Book-and-claim as a strategic tool: using it to serve committed early partners like Luxaviation and other motivated buyers outside Iceland, while keeping the bulk of production for Icelandic decarbonisation.Moving beyond “Jet A price parity”: why chasing price parity with fossil jet fuel misses the point since jet fuel is heavily subsidised and untaxed, and how 15-year price stability can be more valuable to airlines than simply being the cheapest.Her role as a “system builder”: why e-fuel plants are far more complex than traditional power projects, and what it takes to keep partners aligned on timelines, risk, margins, and ambition.The wider Icelandic hydrogen roadmap: how aviation, maritime, and road transport could all draw on the same hydrogen and e-fuels backbone as the market matures.Learn more about the innovators who are navigating the industry's challenges to make sustainable aviation a reality, in our new book “Sustainability in the Air: Volume 2.” Click here to learn more.Feel free to reach out via email to podcast@simpliflying.com.

Steve Kelly with One Earth Energy discusses Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, misconceptions, and SAF on the WRAM Ag Hour.
On this week's episode of The SAF Podcast Chris Hancock, Avioxx joins Oscar to share their waste-to-fuel technology and their UK project development strategy. Chris begins by sharing his journey from fintech entrepreneur to cleantech innovator, explaining some of the parallels between the early days of fintech and today's nascent SAF industry.We also dive into Avioxx's off-grid approach integrating Fischer-Tropsch reactors with solid oxide fuel cells, enabling the plant to generate its own electricity and potentially achieve an 80% reduction in electricity costs. The result aims to tackle the two hardest cost drivers in SAF—purchased power and hydrogen balance—while building a real circular economy around waste.Integrating AI and digital infrastructure is a fulcrum of Avioxx's expansion to accelerate design timelines, reduce costs, and mitigate risks. Chris explains how this feeds into their UK focused expansion plans from a small scale demonstrator, to a mid-scale plant producing 5,000 tonnes per year, up to a 32,000 tonne per year facility consuming 300,000 tonnes of waste each year.We finish by discussing capital raising, the pre-seed investment from Trailfinders and the current ongoing raise for their Series A-B rounds. Chris explains the types of capital they are looking to attract in the balancing of equity and senior debt. Check out the full episode to find out more on whatever site you prefer to frequent.

Send us your feedback In this episode, Sustainability Leader and Partner Holly Hill sits down with Matt Connolly, Air New Zealand's Sustainability Lead for Energy Transition, to explore the airline's leading initiatives including its Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) trial, climate-related transition plan, next generation aircrafts, and fuel optimisation.[01:14] Holly and Matt discuss that aviation is inherently unsustainable because it relies on burning fossil fuels, making it a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.[02:19] Holly and Matt explore Air New Zealand's current use of SAF, noting its scarcity and high cost. He explains that collaboration with corporates is critical to scaling SAF globally and that the pilot program in New Zealand is designed to foster these partnerships.[02:49] Matt describes how SAF is chemically similar to jet fuel and can be used in existing aircraft without modification. He explains that emissions reductions come from SAF's lifecycle, as it is produced from biogenic and waste sources rather than fossil fuels. He also outlines how emissions benefits are shared between airlines and corporate partners through scope 1 and scope 3 reductions.[04:48] Matt shares that corporate partners purchase emissions reductions to match portions of their travel. He notes that Air New Zealand used 1.7% SAF in its fuel mix last financial year, which equates to approximately 50,000 tonnes of avoided emissions compared to fossil jet fuel.[06:18] They explore Air New Zealand's short-term target of 10% SAF in its fuel mix by 2030 and a long-term goal of achieving net zero by 2050. Matt explains that global aviation bodies expect SAF to make up two-thirds to 100% of jet fuel by mid-century.[06:48] Matt says the SAF pilot has generated interest among corporates, but emphasises that scaling SAF requires broad collaboration. Air New Zealand is working with sustainability groups and auditors to build trust and create a robust system for corporate participation.[07:48] Holly and Matt outline the economic challenges of scaling SAF, including its current cost premium and the need for large-scale, capital-intensive projects. He explains that moving SAF down the technology cost curve is essential for affordability.[08:48] They discuss Air New Zealand's ongoing conversations with the New Zealand government about SAF and notes that governments worldwide are approaching the challenge in different ways. He emphasises the importance of finding a solution that works for New Zealand.[09:18] Matt explains that partnerships are key to SAF success globally. He notes that airlines making progress on SAF are those working closely with corporate partners to build commercially sustainable approaches.[10:18] Matt summarises that aviation is difficult to decarbonise, but SAF is a viable solution today. He stresses that partnerships are essential for scaling SAF and reiterates Air New Zealand's commitment to net zero by 2050[11:47] They round out the episode by sharing Air New Zealand's research into electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft, including a technical demonstrator project with Beta Technologies. He explains that while these technologies may not play a major role before 2050, they represent a long-term opportunity to move away from fossil fuels entirely.Information in this episode is accurate as at the date of recording, 24 November 2025.Please contact Holly HillFor show notes and additional resources visit minterellison.co.nz/podcasts
So, another year is almost over - but what did we learn in 2025, South East Asia's third full year of travel since the Covid pandemic? This week, Gary and Hannah delve through the archives to take stock of an eventful 12 months for travel and tourism in South East Asia and the broader Asia Pacific region. We journey from the regional turmoil of Trump's tariffs to the tourism impacts of scam centres, and from Singapore setting the standard on SAF to Timor Leste becoming ASEAN's 11th member. Plus, we ask what happened to the ASEAN Tourism Visa, and question why the Philippines is pushing to promote ASEAN as a single destination. We discuss India's secondary city tourism wave, and look at which countries made new visa-free access moves throughout the year. And we gaze into a crystal ball to foretell whether Thailand and Cambodia might make peace and reopen their borders any time soon. Finally, we delve into Vietnam's remarkable breakout year after an initially slow post-Covid recovery - and its reluctance to offer visa-free access to Chinese tourists.
The American Coalition for Ethanol is actively engaging the EPA on the Renewable Fuel Standard, seeking final volumes and the reallocation of waived gallons to prevent demand destruction for ethanol producers and farmers. Katie Muckenhirn, vice president of public affairs, says ACE is also pushing Congress to pass the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act to secure year-round E15 access across all states, which is vital for utilizing the nation's record corn crop. Additionally, the industry is focused on realizing the immense market potential of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), especially with the extension of the Clean Fuel Production Tax Credit (45Z).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rætt er við Heiðu Njólu Guðbrandsdóttur verkfræðing og forstöðumann hjá Icelandair um þann gríðarlega kostnað sem fellur á íslensk flugfélög í formi umhverfisskatta- og gjalda, en hún er sérfræðingur í margs konar kerfum sem sett hafa verið á flugfélögin í nafni loftlagsmála. Heiða Njóla útskýrir í þættinum hvernig ETS viðskiptakerfi Evrópusambandsins með losunarheimildir virkar og hver þróunin hefur verið og fer yfir plönin framundan. Annar vaxandi kostnaðarliður í rekstri flugfélaga er SAF eða sjálfbært eldsneyti og hefur ESB sett reglur um að notkun á því skuli margfaldast á næstu árum. Þá er einnig til kerfi á vegum ICAO Alþjóðaflugmálastofnunarinnar sem kallast CORSIA og heldur utan um losun gróðurhúsalofttegunda í alþjóðaflugi, svo eitthvað sé nefnt. Öll þessi kerfi þýða marga milljarða króna kostnað á ári fyrir félag eins og Icelandair og útfærslan þýðir að Ísland ber langhæstu kostnaðarbyrðar allra landa Evrópu í formi loftlagsskatta. Núverandi plön og regluverk gerir ráð fyrir að þessi kostnaður muni bara hækka á næstu árum og það verulega. Áhugavert og upplýsandi viðtal um stöðu flugsins í þessu samhengi.

The civil war in Sudan has taken more than 150,000 lives. It has displaced at least 13 million people. The UN has confirmed famine in parts of the country. There is widespread malnutrition, especially among children. And peace is nowhere in sight. The two warring sides -- the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group under General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, have been fighting since April 2023. Last month, the RSF captured El Fasher city in Darfur, which used to be a SAF stronghold. It sparked a fresh wave of atrocities, deaths, rapes and displacement. A US-backed ceasefire proposal on the table, but Sudan remains a humanitarian black hole for now. What is behind this endless violence? Does the ceasefire proposal hold promise? What can be done to mitigate the humanitarian tragedy? Guest: Stanly Johny, The Hindu's Internatinal Affairs Editor Host: G.

SHOW 11-12-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1930 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CHINA'S LEADERSHIP. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Allied AI Competition and Submarine Requests. Scott Harold examines the crucial role of allies Japan and South Korea in the AI competition against China. Japan is developing locally tailored AI models built on US technology for use in Southeast Asia. South Korea aims to become the third-largest AI power, offering reliable models to counter China's untrustworthy technology. Harold also discusses South Korea's surprising request for nuclear-powered, conventionally armed submarines to track Chinese and North Korean vessels, signaling a greater public willingness to contribute to China deterrence. 915-930 Rare Earths Monopoly and US Strategy. General Blaine Holt discusses China's challenge to the US and its allies regarding rare earths, noting that China previously threatened to cut off supply. The US is securing deals with partners like Australia and is on track to replace China entirely, despite initial processing reliance on Chinese predatory practices. Holt suggests a two-year recovery is conservative, as technology for domestic processing exists. He also notes China's leadership is in turmoil, trying to buy time through trade deals. 930-945 Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 945-1000 Buckley, Fusionism, and Conservative Integrity. Peter Berkowitz explores William F. Buckley's consolidation of the conservative movement through "fusionism"—blending limited government and social conservatism. Buckley purged the movement of anti-Semites based on core principles. Berkowitz uses this historical context to analyze the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson giving a platform to Nick Fuentes, who openly celebrates Stalin and Hitler. This incident caused division after the Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson, prompting Roberts to issue an apology. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability. Simon Constable analyzes rare earth markets, noting China's dominance is achieved through undercutting prices and buying out competitors. Prices for key industrial commodities like copper and aluminum are up, indicating high demand. Constable also discusses UK political instability, noting that Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks natural leadership and confidence. The major political driver for a potential leadership change is the party's broken promise regarding income taxes, which severely undermines public trust before the next election, 1015-1030 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability.

Carola Binder discusses the Austrian School of Economics, highlighting its focus on free markets and Ludwig von Mises's opposition to government "interventionism," including rent and price controls. Mises argued these policies distort markets, leading to shortages and inefficiency. Binder emphasizes Mises's belief that economic literacy is a primary civic duty necessary for citizens to reject socialism and interventionist panaceas, especially as new generations are exposed to such ideas. 1045-1100 Austrian Economics, Von Mises, and the Fight Against Interventionism.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1115-1130 AI, Cyber Attacks, and Nuclear Deterrence. Peter Huessy discusses the challenges to nuclear deterrence posed by AI and cyber intrusions. General Flynn highlighted that attacks on satellites, the backbone of deterrence, could prevent the US from confirming where a launch originated. Huessy emphasizes the need to improve deterrence, noting that the US likely requires presidential authorization for retaliation, unlike potential Russian "dead hand" systems. The biggest risk is misinformation delivered by cyber attacks, although the US maintains stringent protocols and would never launch based solely on a computer warning. 1130-1145 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. 1145-1200 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence.

Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Corruption, Chinese Influence, and Protests in Serbia. Ivana Stradner discusses protests in Serbia demanding accountability one year after a canopy collapse killed 16 people, with investigations linking the accident to high-level corruption involving a Chinese company. Leader Vučić suppresses discontent by alleging the West is plotting a "color revolution." Although Vučić aligns his heart with Russia and China, he needs EU money for political survival, prompting him to offer weapons to the West and claim Serbia is on the EU path. 1215-1230 The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Network. Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1230-1245 Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA. Bob Zimmerman covers new records in commercial space: SpaceX achieved 147 launches this year, and one booster tied the Space Shuttle Columbia for 28 reuses. China also set a record with 70 launches but had a failure. Commercial space faced temporary impacts, such as an FAA launch curfew due to a government shutdown and air traffic controller shortages. Zimmerman speculates that Jared Isaacman's conservative-leaning public appearance at Turning Point USA might have convinced Trump to renominate him for NASA Administrator. 1245-100 AM Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA.

Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict.
In this episode, we speak with Julia Fidler, former Director of Market Development for Energy, Connectivity, and Sustainability at Microsoft, who shares how the company built partnerships that are reshaping corporate approaches to scope 3 emissions.Fidler discusses:How Microsoft's early carbon fee on scope 1, 2, and 3.6 emissions created the foundation for treating business travel not just as a measurable category, but as a gateway to solving fuel emissions.How Microsoft's Sustainability Grant Program supported early exploration of emerging SAF markets through seed funding for consulting guidance and partnerships, creating a model for corporate innovation in hard-to-abate sectors.Why Microsoft chose to support the most expensive SAF pathway (e-fuels/power-to-liquids) and how the concept of “green premium” enabled a three-way collaboration between Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, and Twelve.How the partnership with IAG and the Chooose removed barriers for hundreds of Microsoft suppliers to purchase SAF for the first time.Why Microsoft's approach balanced carbon removal procurement with SAF investment alongside demand management, treating these not as competing priorities but as complementary strategies.Fiddler also shares her journey from corporate travel management to leading industry-defining collaborations with airlines and SAF producers, and discusses how she'll now be scaling these lessons globally through her new role at the RSB.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Etosha Cave, Co-founder & Chief Science Officer of Twelve, who shares how the carbon transformation company harnesses CO2 from industrial waste streams to produce e-fuels.

With less than 50 days remaining of 2025, South East Asia is barrelling towards the end-of-year holiday travel season. And there's plenty of news to talk about. This week, Gary and Hannah zoom through the region's top travel happenings, with stopovers in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Laos, plus China and Bahrain. We begin with downbeat news about the Thailand-Cambodia peace process, and the detrimental impact this is having on Cambodia's visitor economy (remember in 2024, Cambodia was the first country in ASEAN to claim it had surpassed its 2019 visitor level). In a packed show, we also deconstruct COMAC's acquisition of a 49% stake in Lao Airlines and AirAsia's plans to establish a Middle East base in Bahrain. Plus, we look in depth at Singapore's new Sustainable Aviation Fuel Levy, which will charge differentiated rates to air travellers to fund the scaling up of SAF for flights to/from Changi Airport - and how other ASEAN countries might respond. Staying in Singapore, we ponder its newly announced SGD1 billion wellness attraction by the bay, while a social media storm greeted plans to beautify downtown Kuala Lumpur. We finish with an insider summary from Gary of Phocuswright's new 2025 South East Asia Travel Market Essentials report.

Soybeans are all over the headlines right now but you might not realize they drive American ag—and North Carolina is a prime case study. Charles Hall, Executive Director of the North Carolina Soybean Producers Association, returns to break down what's actually moving the market this year: tight farm margins, a potential price rally that hasn't materialized, and a flood of supply with limited in-state storage. We cover why 75% of NC beans are rated good-to-excellent yet profitability remains elusive, how a 1.6M-acre crop meets constrained crush capacity after an ADM plant closure, and why six-hour delivery lines are more than an inconvenience—they're a cost center. Hall explains China's stop-start purchases, Brazil's rapid expansion (and quality trade-offs), and how shifting tariffs hit farmers twice—at the elevator and on input invoices. We dig into weed resistance, the dicamba drift debate, and why new chemistries take ~20 years to clear regulation. On the opportunity side: renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel are reshaping crush margins by pulling harder on oil than meal. We also hit risk management wins (higher reference prices, improved crop insurance) and why the farm “safety net” still hangs inches above concrete. If you own rural land, lease ground, or care about U.S. food and fuel security, this episode lays out the stakes—straight. Key Takeaways Margins are thin: Inputs up, prices not keeping pace; profitability remains “right on the bubble.” Big crop, tight logistics: ~1.6M acres in NC; ~75% rated good/excellent; limited storage and recent crush capacity loss create delivery bottlenecks. China & tariffs: New-crop U.S. purchases lag; tariff volatility depresses demand and raises input costs (equipment, herbicides, nutrients). Brazil vs. U.S.: Brazil gained China share post-2018; quality/logistics trade-offs vs. NC's local hog & poultry demand. Weed resistance is constant: Fewer approved chemistries, dicamba drift concerns; regulatory timelines are long. Energy demand shift: Renewable diesel/SAF increasingly drive crush margins via soy oil, not just meal. Risk management: Higher soy reference prices and crop insurance tweaks help, but the “safety net” is still low.

In this episode, we speak with Matthew Ridley, Director of Sustainability and Innovation at the oneworld Alliance, who shares the story behind the groundbreaking $150 million Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) fund launched in partnership with the alliance's member airlines and Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV).Ridley discusses:The alliance investment advantage: How pooling resources across oneworld members creates access to world-class venture capital expertise, superior deal flow, more diverse portfolios, and geographical networks.Breakthrough Energy's unprecedented value: Why partnering with BEV provides access to talent airlines struggle to attract, plus synergies with investments in nuclear fusion, energy transmission, and geologic hydrogen.Next-generation focus vs. current needs: How the oneworld BEV fund targets technologies that can take aviation beyond 5-10% SAF adoption to truly change the trajectory of decarbonisation, complementing existing investments.Breaking the alliance mould: How oneworld moved beyond traditional codeshares and interlining to tackle “initiatives of scale”, and how they attracted Singapore Airlines to join despite not being a oneworld member.Reframing aviation's challenge: Why the problem isn't aviation itself, but rather the emissions from jet fuel, the only aspect of flight that hasn't changed since the Kitty Hawk.Ridley also shares insights from his seven years building IAG's Hangar 51, where he led first-mover investments in ZeroAvia and LanzaJet, and explains why SAF isn't a transition fuel but rather a permanent solution once emissions are addressed.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Pasha Saleh, Head of Corporate Development at Alaska Airlines, who shares how the airline is investing in sustainable aviation technologies to achieve its ambitious climate goals.

After a quiet September, October travel activity was stimulated by various national holidays (including Golden Week in China, Chuseok in South Korea, Diwali/Deepavali in India, Malaysia & Singapore and Undas in the Philippines). These created air travel spikes that set the scene for the region's highly anticipated end-of-year peak season, with destinations making promotional plays to attract each other's holidaymakers. We begin by looking at the accession of Timor Leste to ASEAN and the prospects of a peace settlement between Thailand and Cambodia. We address 2025's biggest regional story, scam centres - and their broadening impacts on tourism sentiment (and policy) as South Korea's government issues a travel ban for parts of Cambodia. Is a pan-Asian summit the only way to effectively tackle this scaling cross-border issue? Plus, we look at Thailand's policy of attracting charter flights from Chinese tier-2 cities, the Philippines restores e-visa access for Chinese tourists and Singapore enacts a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate. Finally, we head to Macau where concerted promotional campaigns to attract visitors from South East Asian nations are garnering results.

//The Wire//2300Z October 8, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TENSIONS HEAT UP IN CHICAGO AS LOCAL FORCES RESIST FEDERAL POLICING OF CRIME. DC CHURCH BOMBER DETAILS RELEASED, INDICATING INITIAL REPORTS WERE MISLEADING. DOJ TARGETS 2A GROUP AS JUDGE ORDERS DOXING OF ALL NONPROFIT MEMBERS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Illinois: The situation in Chicago remains tense following a general state of unrest surrounding illegal immigration policing efforts. Over the past few days, several incidents have taken place, which have contributed to the declining security situation around the city. A few days ago, a vehicle ramming attack was conducted on an ICE convoy transiting through the city. During the incident, a general state of chaos developed and ICE agents requested local police to assist with the incident. This call for assistance arrived at dispatch, where a stand-down order was given. All Chicago Police Officers were ordered to not assist ICE agents, even though a state of life and death was already underway.Analyst Comment: There has been a lot of media spin regarding this incident, but the audio tape of the radio traffic of this incident confirms beyond all doubt that the stand down order was given. As a result of this incident, a substantial federal response should be expected. A few hundred National Guard soldiers have been deployed throughout Chicago as of last week, all of which have been emplaced as security forces to guard federal buildings. However, since the relationship between local and federal officials has become antagonistic (per the orders of the Mayor and Governor), it would not be surprising to see some much heavier forces on the ground in Chicago very soon.Washington D.C. - Following the arrest of a man outside St. Matthew's Cathedral on Sunday, more details have come to light regarding the case. Police initially reported that they made contact with the man after he set up a camping tent on the front steps of the church before Mass. After causing a scene, it was initially reported by authorities that the man was searched, and a Molotov incendiary device was found. However, this was not the full story...a search of his possessions revealed that the man had over 200 homemade IEDs, along with a manifesto specifically referencing his desire to target Supreme Court Justices (along with a longer list of other targets).Analyst Comments: The details of this incident are a far cry from what DC Metro Police initially reported. Authorities also left out the details that they never even made contact with the man regarding his tent; when police tried to approach him initially, he threatened to throw an IED at them. To get the man to stand down and surrender, police had to agree to read the man's manifesto, which they did, ending the incident. Despite the scale and context of this attempted terror attack, the DoJ has not made any comment on whether Louis Geri will face federal terrorism charges.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Also in Washington, controversy has emerged following the targeting of a Second Amendment nonprofit organization by the Department of Justice. The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is an organization that launches lawsuits against entities which restrict gun rights. Recently, they launched a lawsuit against the federal government, challenging the federal ban on FFL's from selling handguns to individuals under the age of 21. During this lawsuit, discrepancies arose, which required an injunction to be filed regarding who was involved in the lawsuit. During the legalistic developments in this case, DoJ attorneys were able to convince a federal judge that all of the members of the SAF were part of the lawsuit...not just the nonprofit itself, or those invested in the lawsuit. In short, what this means is that a federal judge has ordered a gun rights non profit to turn over a list of all of their mem
Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses significant developments in gun rights, including a recent court ruling that affirms the right to carry firearms in post offices. He emphasizes the importance of joining organizations like the NRA and SAF to support these rights. The conversation also touches on the evolution of gun laws, community responsibility, and the contrast between gun owners and those who oppose them. David Codrea joins the discussion, providing insights into current events and legislative updates affecting gun ownership. Takeaways The recent court ruling allows firearms in post offices for members of SAF and FPC. Joining gun rights organizations is crucial for advocacy and support. Gun owners are often the most peaceable members of society. The left often initiates violence while blaming gun owners. Community engagement is essential for responsible gun ownership. Historical perspectives show that gun rights have evolved significantly. Legislative changes are happening, and gun owners must stay informed. Support for gun rights is a collective effort that requires unity. The importance of understanding the criteria for restoring gun rights is paramount. Current events in Canada reflect trends that could affect U.S. gun rights.
