The future hinges on whether established parties can isolate the AfD or if the Constitutional Court will intervene to outlaw the party. Dempsey also notes that the BBC scandal involves the highly scrutinized domestic service, distinct from the generally "exemplary" BBC World Service. 1045-1100 The Rise of the AfD and the Threat to German Democracy.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Conservative Politics and Extremism; The Structural Problems of the BBC. Joseph Sternberg argues that mainstream conservatives must accommodate legitimate right-wing concerns (like immigration) to squeeze out extremists, referencing the German CDU/CSU's successful historical tactic against neo-Nazis.

The deliberate editing of the US President's remarks and allegations of tendentious coverage of the Israel/Gaza war point to a deep, structural problem within the organization. 1215-1230 Conservative Politics and Extremism; The Structural Problems of the BBC.

Ivana Stradner warns that the UN cybercrime treaty, drafted by Russia and supported by China, undermines global human rights and free speech. She argues the treaty is mere "window dressing" enabling authoritarian regimes to pursue digital sovereignty—like Russia's "fake news" laws or China's "golden shield" project—to censor dissent. Stradner suggests that allowing Russia and China to regulate cyberspace is comparable to trusting the arsonist to put out the fire, urging the United States not to ratify the treaty. 1245-100 AM The Modern Marine Corps: MEUs, Amphibious Ship Shortages, and the Role in East Asia. Colonel Grant Newsham discusses the Marine Corps, celebrating its 250th birthday and historic legacy at Belleau Wood. Newsham describes the Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) as a flexible force of about 2,000 Marines aboard amphibious ships, capable of missions from humanitarian aid to combat. A critical challenge is the Navy's low prioritization of amphibious ships, leading to a deployment shortage. In East Asia, Marines are expected to seize key terrain and use long-range precision weapons to control maritime territory, though prioritizing missile units has reduced overall mission versatility.

There is much to discuss on today's show as Dave Biddle flies solo. Sophomore defensive tackle Eddrick Houston returning to the starting lineup against Purdue on Saturday and played well. It was Houston's first start since the second game of the season. This appears to be a good sign for the nation's best defense. Also, will Carnell Tate be able to play this week against visiting UCLA? Furthermore, Ohio State has been cleaning up on the recruiting front since last Thursday, with a high 4-star defensive tackle being the latest to join the Buckeyes' 2026 class.

Today's poem is Local Mission by Kai Carlson-Wee. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “I'm someone who likes to read a book without having read any reviews or think pieces about the book or the author. Sometimes I prefer to engage with art—to listen to a record or see a film—without expectations. With a relatively clean slate. I want you to have that experience with today's poem, a longer one, so I'm going to get out of the way. Listen and let its many pleasures find you.”Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

Economic Slowdown and Election Observations in Indiana and Pennsylvania. Jim McTague identifies signs of an economic slowdown affecting people beyond the lowest economic rung. Restaurant business in Indiana is down 3 to 5%, and expensive home renovations have "dried up." Costco shoppers are exhibiting extreme caution, buying essentials with little impulse spending. In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a large turnout resulted in Democratic victories, suggesting voter reaction against local Republicans perceived as "Trumpists." Anticipated layoffs at Amazon and Walmart are expected to impact local employment.

Today's poem is Never-ending Birds by David Baker. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today's poem is one I've carried around in my mind for years, one whose language I flash to instinctively when I see a flock of birds, especially a murmuration of starlings. I think of the phrase “never-ending birds”—a phrase coined not by the speaker of this poem, but by the speaker's child.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Shannon is known for helping leaders stop pretending to be someone else—and start winning as themselves.They unpack:What authentic leadership actually means beyond the buzzwordThe difference between polish and presenceWhy vulnerability builds trust (but performative vulnerability breaks it)The real emotional work behind entrepreneurshipHow to avoid losing your “why” when the world tells you to go faster, harder, morePaul and Shannon also discuss the myth of the heroic “hustle” founder—and why ease can be a sign of alignment, not laziness.Five Key LearningsAuthenticity ≠ Transparency — It's about showing up human, not oversharing or performing relatability.Your body knows before you do — Gut tension is often your first signal that something is off in how you're leading.Entrepreneurs fall into two groups: builders who love the game, and founders driven by mission. The second group must reconnect to their why regularly.Ease is not avoidance — When leadership aligns with identity and values, decisions take less friction.Slow down to speed up — Time away from the work improves judgment, creativity, and resilience. Rest is strategic.Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeShannon's firm: PURL AdvisorsShannon's newsletter: The Real T Paul's article: Slow Down to Speed UpHumanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations maximize their potential based on human capabilities.For more information, and access to our weekly newsletter, visit us at humanityworking.net.

In this episode of The Green Dream, I sit down with Adam Linemann from Linemann Lawn Care & Landscaping and The Green Executive to break down what a 41% increase in landscaping sales actually looks like and why the growth isn't slowing down anytime soon. Adam and I delve into the operational and sales disciplines behind such a jump: consistent marketing throughout every season, refusing to play the “cheapest bid” game, and the systems he uses to return calls quickly, estimate accurately, and keep jobs profitable. We also talk through the real reason many contractors struggle with pricing, why bidding by the square foot is costing companies thousands, and how templates, processes, and time-based estimating remove guesswork and protect margins. We cover how to screen leads effectively, what an ideal client profile looks like in 2025, and the roles of consult fees, scheduling, and realistic timelines. Adam shares the exact workflow his team uses to get estimates out within 24 hours, how he prevents scope gaps, and why many contractors are losing money without realizing it. If you want a deeper understanding of knowing your numbers, tightening up your sales process, and building a reliable pipeline even during slow seasons, this episode delivers a straightforward look at what a well-run landscape company is doing to grow consistently year after year.

Today's reminder has to do with taking th4e path of least resistance. Sometimes it takes a gentle whack in the head to slow down, regroup and start from square one again. Such was the case when my brother in law reached out to me recently. Although I have been selling books on Amazon for years, I was not doing it properly. That is about to change. I am off and running on a new project and I will keep you posted of my progress as I proceed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But when you think about it, an anagram isn't just play. It's a way of making a thing out of something else entirely. A way of seeing—and creating—other possibilities.

Today's poem is Different Kinds of Sadness by Jenny Molberg. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “When I lost my joy, my generous friends were there. It can be so hard to accept help from others, especially if you pride yourself on being self-sufficient, but I took them up on their offers of meals, and company, and advice. And I'm so glad I did, because these things were all lifesaving. All of these things, in their own ways, helped me close some wounds. All, in their own ways, restarted my heart.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

Palantir (PLTR) shares were little changed after its earnings report. Russell Rhodes believes the market correctly priced in a relatively muted reaction, given the company's history of post-earnings volatility. Rhodes sees parallels between Palantir's valuation and the broader trend of high-flying tech stocks in the NASDAQ, which has historically followed strong first halves with a strong finish to the year, despite concerns about valuations.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

High performance can create burnout and decision fatigue when your pace punishes your peace. In this episode, Julie Holly shows you how to slow down without losing your edge—so excellence becomes overflow, not exhaustion.You've done the work, built the success, and carried the weight. But lately, your pace feels heavier than your purpose. In this Saturday reflection of The Recalibration, Julie Holly guides you from concept to practice—from understanding peace to actually living it.Drawing on neuroscience and lived experience, she explains why information alone doesn't change people—embodiment does. When you've lived in performance mode for years, your nervous system forgets how to feel safe in stillness. That's why rest can feel like loss and peace can feel like pressure. But through repetition, not revelation, your body can learn that peace isn't weakness—it's strategy.You'll learn:Why high performers mistake stillness for stagnationHow to retrain your nervous system to feel safe when slowing downWhy peace actually sharpens your precision instead of dulling itHow to measure transformation by alignment, not outputBecause when excellence is rooted in identity, it stops draining you and starts defining you. That's the difference between high performance and high capacity—the difference between achieving for validation and creating from alignment.The Recalibration isn't another mindset tactic. It's the root-level identity work that makes every other tool finally work again.Micro Recalibration:“Where can I practice peace in motion today?”Maybe it's pausing before you reply. Maybe it's doing the same work—but from a grounded breath instead of a hurried one. You don't need to clear your calendar to recalibrate—just your posture.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Today's poem is Night of the Living, Night of the Dead by Kim Addonizio.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “It might surprise you to know that one of my favorite genres is the zombie movie. I like my zombies fast, like in ‘Train to Busan' and ‘28 Days Later,' and I like my zombies slow, like in the old classics directed by George Romero. In ‘Night of the Living Dead,' the zombies shamble so slowly, people can run right by them. They seem unable to figure out doorknobs and fence latches and cars. It's black-and-white, so the gore isn't that gory: the blood and guts are gray, after all! It's still scary, though—because the zombies are seemingly uncontainable. They just keep coming at you. Today's poem has been a favorite of mine for years, and it seemed like the right choice for Halloween.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Today's poem is At Night by Stanley Plumly.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes, “Today's poem is by one of my favorite poets, the late Stanley Plumly. Maybe more than anyone else in my life, Stan understood the double bind of deep solitude: that for the poet, for the artist, it's as lonely as it is necessary. It's both.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

Today's poem is I do not mention the war in my birthplace to my six-year-old son but somehow his body knows by Julia Kolchinsky.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Children are so talented at asking unanswerable questions. Questions that cut you to the quick. I remember driving around with my daughter Violet when she was in preschool—three, four years old—and she would ask me these enormous, existential questions from her booster seat behind me.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
