Later, Jeffrey Ekoma, ASTHO's Senior Director of Government Affairs, shares what's top of mind in Washington in preparing for ASTHO's upcoming Hill Day, from FY26 and FY27 appropriations to protecting public health infrastructure funding, navigating grant terminations.

A major measles outbreak is testing public health systems, community trust, and the power of vaccination. In this episode, Dr. Brannon Traxler, ASTHO member and Deputy Director of Health Promotion and Services & Chief Medical Officer, South Carolina Department of Public Health, shares the latest update on the state's response, with nearly 1,000 confirmed cases since October 2025. She explains why vaccination remains the cornerstone of outbreak control, how rapid case identification and contact tracing are helping to slow transmission, and what health officials are learning about spread within large, close-knit households.  Then, Heather Tomlinson, Senior Analyst of Environmental Health at the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, breaks down the growing presence of kratom in U.S. markets. She explains its traditional use in Southeast Asia, how modern products differ from natural leaf preparations, and why highly concentrated or synthetic compounds are raising new health concerns.

What do infection prevention in dialysis clinics and hurricane response in the Caribbean have in common? More than you might think. This episode explores how culture, leadership, and coordination shape health outcomes, whether in a treatment chair or a disaster zone. First, Shalini Nair, a Senior Analyst of Infection Disease at ASTHO, breaks down the growing concern around dialysis-related infections and what the CDC's Making Dialysis Safer for Patients Coalition is doing to address it. She shares frontline-informed strategies that health departments and facilities can use right now: building a “see it, say it” culture of safety, using short, role-specific training and real-time coaching, and ensuring visible leadership support that reinforces infection prevention as everyone's responsibility.  Then, the focus shifts to disaster response with Maggie Nilz, Senior Analyst of preparedness at ASTHO and Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization. Nilz reflects on her decade of deployments, from chainsaw operations in U.S. disaster zones to coordinating international health response in Jamaica after a devastating hurricane. She explains how public health leadership, interagency coordination, and pre-disaster data systems are critical when hospitals are damaged, infrastructure is down, and communities still need everyday healthcare.

What does it mean to live in an age where disorder is no longer a temporary crisis but a permanent condition? Corey is joined by Jason Pack, a geopolitical analyst and founder of Libya Analysis, to discuss global instability, institutional decay, and what Jason calls the Enduring Disorder. Drawing on experiences spanning post-9/11 Middle East policy, Libya's fragile political landscape, and years of work with NATO affiliated institutions, Jason argues that the world has moved beyond the post Cold War order into something far more volatile and fragmented. The conversation weaves together geopolitics, psychology, religion, and even gambling theory. Jason explains how games like backgammon and poker illuminate leadership, risk, empathy, and decision making under uncertainty, offering metaphors for diplomacy and democratic governance alike. From Russia's strategy of chaos to the erosion of institutional trust at home, the episode explores how disorder benefits those seeking power without responsibility and what it will take to rebuild shared standards of truth, accountability, and civic trust.

Der frühere deutsche Vizekanzler der Grünen ist heute Senior Analyst am Dänischen Institut für internationale Studien. In dieser Funktion beschäftigt er sich mit Grönland, welches zu Dänemark gehört. Im Tagesgespräch erzählt er, wie Europa mit dem Druck aus den USA umgehen soll. Wir lebten in einer Welt der Raubtiere, sagt Habeck. Es sei daher wichtig, dass Europa geeint dastehe. Die Ansprüche Trumps auf Grönland müsse man ernst nehmen, man könne sie nicht als Spinnerei abtun. Er erklärt, welche Strategie er Europa nun empfiehlt und ob er in dieser Weltlage froh sei, dass er nicht Kanzler geworden ist.

Donald Trump meint es ernst mit Grönland. Davon ist Robert Habeck, jetzt Senior Analyst am Danish Institute for International Studies, überzeugt. Die Europäer dürften nicht glauben, „dass das so ein Casino-Ding von Donald Trump ist, sondern dahinter stehen wirklich handfeste sicherheitspolitische und militärische Überlegungen, die man nicht vom Tisch nehmen kann.“ Das amerikanische Interesse an Grönland reiche zurück in das 19. Jahrhundert, sagt Habeck im Gespräch mit Helene Bubrowski.Er fordert eine eigenständige europäische Arktis-Strategie – eine eigene europäische Machtpolitik.[03:47]Die CDU will auf ihrer Klausurtagung die „Mainzer Erklärung“ verabschieden.

In this episode of Stuff About Money They Didn't Teach You in School, Erik Garcia is joined by Miles Clark, Senior Analyst at Nasdaq Dorsey Wright, to explore a simple but important question: what's better—time in the market or timing the market? The conversation opens with a long-term look at how markets have behaved over multi-decade periods and what that data can teach investors when they're deciding what to do with new money, especially when markets are sitting at or near all-time highs. From there, Erik and Miles walk through three common investor approaches: investing a lump sum right away, waiting for a pullback, or easing in over time. They discuss which experiences tend to lead to better long-term outcomes and why those results often surprise people. The conversation also touches on momentum, relative strength, and market breadth, including what it means when market leadership becomes narrow and valuations stretch. The episode wraps up with Miles' thoughts on what matters most heading into 2026, what investors tend to worry about too much, and what deserves more attention moving forward. If you found this episode helpful, follow the show and share it with someone who's still waiting for the “right” time to invest. Episode Highlights: Miles discusses a study showing "Average Joe," who invests $500 monthly regardless of market conditions, outperforms market timers by about $1 million. (07:25) Miles breaks down market breadth through a football analogy: it tells investors whether the market is on offense or defense. (13:20) Miles mentions that in core-dominated markets, the real risk isn't beating the benchmark but simply keeping up with it. (18:55) Miles discusses how Dorsey Wright applies relative strength to identify which assets to hold, focusing on sustained trends rather than short-term news. (22:45) Miles explains how momentum investing rotated out of tech in 2022 into energy and utilities, then back into tech for 2023-2024. (29:30) Erik emphasizes that risk capacity matters more than risk tolerance, which is often driven by emotions about current market conditions. (36:25) Key Quotes: "We don't necessarily have to focus on protecting against the entire market washout. We really just need to protect ourselves against where we're over-concentrated in our portfolios." - Miles Clark "In core-dominated markets, a lot of the risk is actually just not keeping up with the benchmark because it is so strong." - Miles Clark "Finding and earning positive relative strength is just trying to pick those assets that are doing relatively better towards the up or downside than their benchmark." - Miles Clark Resources Mentioned: Miles Clark Nasdaq Dorsey Wright Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors

Episode Highlights: Miles discusses a study showing "Average Joe," who invests $500 monthly regardless of market conditions, outperforms market timers by about $1 million. (07:25) Miles breaks down market breadth through a football analogy: it tells investors whether the market is on offense or defense. (13:20) Miles mentions that in core-dominated markets, the real risk isn't beating the benchmark but simply keeping up with it. (18:55) Miles discusses how Dorsey Wright applies relative strength to identify which assets to hold, focusing on sustained trends rather than short-term news. (22:45) Miles explains how momentum investing rotated out of tech in 2022 into energy and utilities, then back into tech for 2023-2024. (29:30) Erik emphasizes that risk capacity matters more than risk tolerance, which is often driven by emotions about current market conditions. (36:25) Key Quotes: "We don't necessarily have to focus on protecting against the entire market washout. We really just need to protect ourselves against where we're over-concentrated in our portfolios." - Miles Clark "In core-dominated markets, a lot of the risk is actually just not keeping up with the benchmark because it is so strong." - Miles Clark "Finding and earning positive relative strength is just trying to pick those assets that are doing relatively better towards the up or downside than their benchmark." - Miles Clark Resources Mentioned: Miles Clark Nasdaq Dorsey Wright Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors

A deadly turf war is unfolding inside Italy's fast fashion supply chain. In April 2025, Chinese gangster Zhang Dayong was shot dead in Rome, an alleged professional hit linked by investigators to rival syndicates battling for control of logistics, transport, and even clothes hangers. Because in an industry that moves millions of units, shaving a few cents per piece translates into massive profits and power.Senior Analyst Ruggero Scaturro (Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime) explains how Chinese criminal networks built near monopolies over road transport and warehousing, the landmark “China Truck” operation led from Florence, and why these groups are now recognized in Italy as mafia-style organizations. We explore their role in counterfeit goods, informal banking, intimidation, and how they cooperate functionally with Italian mafias like the 'Ndrangheta and Camorra. The episode also looks at the epicenter around Prato, the challenges of infiltration and interpretation, and what rising violence says about who really controls Europe's fast fashion backbone.Chapters00:00:00 - Italy's “War of Hangers”00:00:32 - The hanger market: economics, logistics monopoly, rising violence00:02:31 - What “War of Hangers” means in the fast-fashion ecosystem00:03:02 - The Dayong shooting and the Zhang Naizhong case00:03:33 - Operation “China Truck”: transport monopoly and mafia-style structure00:04:45 - Foreign criminal actors in Italy00:09:00 - Counterfeit markets in Italy: scope and impact00:12:26 - How Chinese criminals gain controlGuest: Ruggiero Scaturro, Senior Analyst, Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized CrimeHost: Thin Lei Win Learn more: Global Organized Crime Index — ocindex.netSubscribe for more analysis on global organized crime trends.

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Matthew Wheeler, Crisis Group's Senior Analyst for Southeast Asia, about the renewed clashes along the Thailand-Cambodia border. They explore the origins of the long-running dispute and the triggers for the latest round of fighting, which has shattered a ceasefire reached in Malaysia in late July and displaced more than half a million people. They examine calculations in Bangkok and Phnom Penh, the rising nationalist sentiment in Thailand, and the fallout from a leaked phone call between then-Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and Cambodia's de facto leader Hun Sen in June. They also assess diplomacy to end the fighting, Malaysia's mediation, and President Donald Trump's role in brokering the July truce. As fighting continues despite Trump's claim to have forged another ceasefire, they discuss why a quick de-escalation looks less likely this time around.For more, check out Matthew's analyst's notebook, “Ceasefire Collapses as Heavy Fighting Erupts along Cambodia-Thailand Border”, as well as our Cambodia and Thailand pages.

Ready for an explosive episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, as we dive into the heart of America's battle for freedom. First, we tackle the shocking persecution of Tina Peters, the 70-year-old Gold Star Mother and election integrity hero thrown into solitary confinement at La Vista State Prison after exposing 2020 election irregularities. With updates from her own X post, Joe Oltmann's war cry, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's outrage, we'll expose the Colorado government's brutal retaliation—strip searches, windowless cells, and a 17-day lockup—while rallying you to join the #FreeTinaPeters movement. Don't miss our urgent call to action to save this patriot from the Deep State's clutches.Next, we unleash intelligence titan Michael Waller, Senior Analyst at the Center for Security Policy and author of Big Intel, to dissect the Marxist infiltration turning our CIA and FBI from Cold War victors to woke warriors. From the “long march through the institutions” to chilling reversals of counterintelligence against American citizens, Waller will name names and reveal how the Left hijacked our spy agencies. With his firsthand experience under CIA Director Bill Casey, this is a masterclass in fighting the ideological subversion threatening our Republic—tune in and arm yourself with truth.We tackle today's breaking news: Democrats' call for the military to defy Trump sparks a fiery exchange with President Trump and Michigan Senator Slotkin, dissected with Joe Oltmann's X take. Then, we expose Minnesota's $1B welfare fraud scandal, where Somali communities funnel taxpayer cash to Al-Shabaab, complete with a shocking “Jihad now!” clip from a community leader. We'll demand action to clean house, overstay visas be damned, before ending with a laugh courtesy of Kyle Seraphin's roast of Julie Kelly's X hiatus. This is raw, unfiltered patriotism—lock in now!

Host Ed Crooks talks to Jason Liu, Chief Executive of Wood Mackenzie and co-author (with Chief Analyst Simon Flowers) of a new book, Connected, about the fast-changing world of energy. They are also joined by Sunaina Ocalan, formerly Senior Director for Corporate Strategy & Climate at the oil and gas company Hess, now Senior Analyst and Co-Head for Americas Energy & Transition at Bernstein Research. Together, they explore how energy leaders can plan, invest and operate operate in a world where different sectors, technologies and geographies are interconnected in more powerful and complex ways than ever before.They talk about the language of “the energy transition”, and whether it can lead to misconceptions. Global demand for hydrocarbons is still growing, and they will continue to play a critical role in our energy system for decades to come, even as new supply from renewables and other low-carbon sources surges higher. A wider appreciation of that reality is driving a shift from siloed thinking about individual sectors to integrated solutions. For example, companies are increasingly looking at pairing solar and storage with gas generation to meet demand from data centers for reliable low-carbon power.Sunaina takes us inside the the thinking of energy leaders as they assess strategies and investment decisions. She sets out a practical approach to scenario analysis, with “exit ramps” so companies can pivot as facts change. The aim isn't to predict one future, but to be ready for a range of possible outcomes. That means balancing the advantages and disadvantages of a wide range of technologies, and taking a strategic view through short-term fluctuations as far as possible. Effective decision-making is impossible without reliable data. Jason warns about three traps: using too little real data, leaning on synthetic/modelled data without ground truth, and poor integration across different sectors. Data collection technology is advancing rapidly, and with sensors, satellites and market intelligence, decision-makers can increasingly see what's really happening with precision and granular detail, often in real time.Then there's AI. Like other industries, the world of energy is being transformed by the tools that have become available over the past few years. Scenario runs have been cut from months to minutes, with hundreds of models combined to give a comprehensive coherent picture. AI tools can even assess the best models to use on particular data sets: a capability Jason calls hyper-modelling. And still there is a vital role for human intelligence and judgement, to find and interpret the information that the AI tools miss. The challenges in the energy sector today are vast. It is a cliche to say that uncertainty is higher than ever, but today it genuinely seems true. The pace of innovation in AI is changing the world in ways that have never been seen before. But the opportunity is vast, too. The energy industry will need $75 trillion or more in investment over the next 25 years, to meet ever-growing demand while reducing the impact on the environment. The businesses that succeed in making the most of this opportunity will be the ones that get three things right: the right data, the right AI capabilities, and the right people, all brought together to deliver actionable insights.
