The third and final livestream of the book tour celebrating the publication of Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, Contested Territories: The Four Corners in the Turbulent 1970s Hosted by Red Power Hour co-host Melanie Yazzie at the Inspired Moments Event Center Farmington, New Mexico. Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel Press Release: "From the late summer of 1972 to the late summer of 1974, John Redhouse and many other Navajo and Indian rights activists threw all they had into mass movement organizing and direct action. And they were pretty good at it too in terms of effectiveness and impact. Written in the first-person and above all, with a collective spirit of generosity and witness, John Redhouse describes the hot temper of the times in the racist and exploitative border towns in the Four Corners area of the Southwest region. As John Redhouse says, “Without the People, you have nothing. But back then, we had a lot of people WITH us.” Yes, the Power of the People, the collective human spirit of the emerging local and regional Indian civil movement, thousands of us marching in the streets of Gallup and Farmington in northwestern New Mexico with our demands. A bold citizen's arrest at city hall, a downtown street riot, burning images of enemy leaders in effigy. And more marches, demonstrations, and direct actions. Above all, though, there was that Spirit—that unbroken, unconquerable spirit—that moved us, that drove us, that led us. And that was just in the border towns. In that turbulent decade, there was also the rapidly rising and spreading with-the-people, on-the-land resistance struggles in the coal, uranium, and oil and gas fields, and in disputed territories in the San Juan and Black Mesa basins that were targeted for ethnic cleansing and mineral extraction. Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, Contested Territories: The Four Corners in the Turbulent 1970s brings readers to the enduring issues of the day, traced over half a century ago, where John Redhouse and many more were in the middle of a revolution that unfolds to this day."

Beef Cattle News Beef Market Uncertainty Fueled By Tight Supplies & High Prices According to Texas A&M Agricultural Economist David Anderson, the beef sector is entering a prolonged period of tight supplies and sustained high prices, and any meaningful herd expansion remains elusive.   Anderson said that calf prices have reached record levels, with 500- to 600-pound steers in the Southern Plains averaging $4 per pound, but instead of retaining heifers to grow the herd, producers are largely “taking the money and running.”   The shift toward expansion, when it happens, could lead to a temporary sharp decline in beef production, as fewer heifers are sent to feedlots. Anderson pointed to the upcoming Cattle on Feed report, which will include a quarterly update on heifers versus steers on feed, as a key signal.   Another headwind for beef production is the ongoing closure of the U.S.-Mexico border to imported feeder cattle due to screw worm concerns. Anderson said the loss of 26,000 head per week is equivalent to 4% of the U.S. calf crop and about 18% of feeder placements in the Southwest, with significant regional impacts.   The effects of that shortfall are already being seen, Anderson said, as steer and heifer slaughter continue to fall below year-ago levels. While heavier carcass weights have helped offset declining numbers in recent years, Anderson expects weights to dip below 2024 levels due to shorter feeding periods and fewer days on feed.   Anderson said that dynamic of fewer cattle and lower weights will continue to tighten beef supplies and support high prices. Prices for 50% lean trimmings have reached record highs amid strong demand for ground beef.   While retail prices typically dip after summer highs, Anderson said overall price levels will remain elevated. He forecast quarterly declines in beef production through 2026, citing fewer calves, a smaller cow herd and the absence of imported feeders.   Even if herd expansion begins now, Anderson said, the biology of the cattle cycle means any supply increases are years away. “We're already talking four years out before you even see increases in beef production,” he said.

In this episode of Big Blend Radio, Lance Laber, Executive Director of the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun, shares the fascinating stories behind the permanent exhibit “DeGrazia Paints Papago Indian Legends.” Created in 1975, the series was inspired by traditional Papago (now Tohono O'odham, meaning “desert people”) legends, including The Creation of the World, The Monster of Quitovac, The Eagle-Man, and Ho'ok. Through vivid, expressive imagery, DeGrazia honored these Indigenous stories, helping preserve their cultural significance through visual storytelling. Lance also talks about the life and legacy of renowned Southwest artist Ted DeGrazia, whose bold work remains among the most reproduced in the world. The conversation covers DeGrazia's deep ties to Native American and Mexican heritage, his contributions to Arizona Highways magazine, and his influence on generations of art lovers. You'll also hear about the current rotating exhibits on display through September 3, 2025: “Ted DeGrazia in the Studio of Diego Rivera,” “Louise Serpa's Portraits of Ted DeGrazia,” and “The Way of the Cross.”  Located in Tucson, Arizona, the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun is a 10-acre historic landmark that houses more than 15,000 original works. Open 361 days a year, the gallery offers a unique glimpse into the artistic spirit of the Southwest.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on a scare on a Southwest flight.

American Airlines CEO Robert Isom stated the airline will not use AI in fare pricing in a way that undermines consumer trust, distancing itself from Delta's controversial plan to apply AI to price a portion of domestic flights. Hilton has found that electric vehicle charging stations are now its top booking driver, with travelers actively seeking this amenity more than traditional ones like pools or free breakfast. Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines reported no negative fallout from its new baggage fees introduced in May and expects them to generate over $350 million in earnings this year.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1103: Today we're talking about backlash against stop-start tech, Tesla's rocky second quarter and robotaxi dreams, and Southwest's historic shift to assigned seating.Show Notes with links:Stop-start engine systems, once praised for fuel savings, often slandered by consumers, are now catching flak from both the EPA and frustrated drivers—prompting new questions about their future.62% of 2023 vehicles used stop-start to claim EPA efficiency credits around $30 per vehicleA new Trump-era law which eliminated CAFE standards and key penalties is reducing incentives for automakers.Consumers often disable the feature, citing annoyance and wear concerns even going as far as installing aftermarket disablers from Amazon which trick the system while some drivers rely on pedal finesse.“If there's no CAFE program that can be enforced, and there's not a greenhouse gas standard that requires improvement, that would remove the incentive for automakers to put in this technology,” said Chris Harto, senior policy analyst at Consumer ReportsLee Zeldin, head of the EPA recently tweeted: Start/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy. EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we're fixing it.Tesla's Q2 earnings took a hit, with profits and sales both sliding amid fading incentives, slowing EV demand, and political headwinds. Elon Musk says the future rides on autonomy.Net income fell 16% to $1.17B; auto revenue dropped 16% as deliveries declined.Tesla's $439M in regulatory credit sales was half of last year's, and shrinking fast.A lower-priced Model Y and stripped-down Cybertruck aim to revive sales.Tesla's invite-only robotaxi service in Austin may expand to half the U.S. population by year's end if approvals move forward quickly according to Musk“We probably could have a few rough quarters. I'm not saying we will, but we could.”Southwest Airlines will say goodbye to open seating for the first time in its history, launching assigned seats and a tiered boarding system starting January 27.Ticket sales for assigned seats begin July 29; full rollout hits early next year.Eight new boarding groups will replace A-B-C lines, prioritizing loyalty and fare class.Premium seat options—like extra-legroom—are coming, but prices are still under wraps.About 25% of the fleet is already reconfigured with the new seat layout.“We're optimizing for efficiency… while taking care of our most loyal customers,” said Southwest's Stephanie Shafer Modi.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What does it take to turn an entire city into a thriving innovation hub? In this episode of The Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with Callie Taylor, Vice President of Economic Development at Opportunity Austin, to explore how Austin, Texas, evolved from a creative, music-fueled city into one of the world's fastest-growing innovation ecosystems. This is not just a profile of a single company or tech success story. It offers a wide-angle view of how a region mobilized its talent, institutions, and identity to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Callie shares the remarkable story behind Austin's intentional growth, from its early days as a haven for misfits and musicians to its emergence as a global player in tech, life sciences, space innovation, and advanced manufacturing. She explains how South by Southwest helped shift global attention toward the city, but how the real power came from coordinated action across universities, accelerators, local government, and industry.  From Samsung's multibillion-dollar investment to Tesla's 20,000-employee expansion, the Austin region is now attracting international startups and legacy companies alike. Together, we explore the infrastructure that makes this possible, including the role of Austin Community College in customizing workforce pipelines and the city's openness to both international founders and homegrown startups.  We also discuss why venture capital is steadily flowing into the region, how the community supports life sciences growth, and what it means for innovation when public school districts, higher education institutions, and private employers all work toward a common goal.  Austin's ability to stay weird while scaling fast is not just branding. It is a key ingredient in maintaining its creative and inclusive spirit. Throughout the conversation, Callie offers practical insight into what makes a city attractive to innovators. She also addresses the challenges of rapid growth, including infrastructure strain and the need for improved collaboration between neighbors working on similar ideas.  What emerges is a clear picture of how innovation ecosystems are not born but built, and how culture, policy, and human connection all have to align for that to happen. Whether you're a startup founder, a city planner, or just someone curious about the future of innovation, this episode is packed with ideas that extend far beyond Austin's city limits.  

“When we can look young people in the eye, and see who they are, and tell them that they matter, and show them a book, and spark their imagination, and be right there… That's the thing. Going through the experience with them, build up their confidence… Put a battery in their back. They need that. Everybody needs that. That little bird that's about to jump off the nest, I'm sure the little bird needs a little bit of encouragement from big momma bird, like, ‘You got this, baby.'” - Amil CookEver Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Amil Cook. As a Hip-Hop educator and technologist, Amil teaches students and educators how to use their personal and historical narratives to increase self-efficacy, well-being, and capacity through the use of new media and technology. Amil is passionate about unlocking the unlimited potential of youth. He is able to see this potential, in part, because he is aware of his own emotions and, specifically, resentments that he is harboring and processing.

Southwest Airlines will introduce assigned seating and a new eight-group boarding system starting January 27, 2026, ending its longtime open boarding policy. Barcelona plans to close two of its seven cruise terminals in an effort to curb overtourism, reducing cruise capacity by 6,000 passengers by decade's end. Meanwhile, global business travel spending is expected to reach a record $1.6 trillion in 2025, driven largely by higher spending per trip, with India, South Korea, and Turkey leading market growth.

Today We are traveling across the world and back in time to Namibia in the South West of Africa... 300 miles from the nearest grocery store, Lyn and Mike Methley raised their family while helping to build the first road through the area in the 1960's. They lived side by side with the lions, impala, crocodiles and the enormous, but sadly extinct, desert elephants. Living close to the Northern border with Angola, they also had more than a few encounters with guerrilla fighters during a particularly turbulent time. This one's got a bunch of bonkers stories folks so buckle up and never let off the accelerator.A huge thank-you to Lyn and Mike for their time and stories today!And thanks again to Callum from @kuduhunt for the introduction.-----------------Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.

Anna Vasquez on Everyday Injustice On the latest episode of the Everyday Injustice podcast, host David Greenwald speaks with Anna Vasquez, a survivor of wrongful conviction and now Director of Outreach and Education for the Innocence Project of Texas. Vasquez was one of four women—collectively known as the San Antonio Four—who were falsely accused and convicted in the 1990s amid a wave of homophobia and “Satanic panic.” Now exonerated, she dedicates her life to helping others avoid the same fate. Vasquez recounts the harrowing experience of being accused of sexually assaulting two young girls, an accusation rooted not in evidence but in hysteria. The case was fueled by homophobic stereotypes, flawed forensic testimony, and a social climate gripped by fear of devil worship and child abuse. A pediatrician's now-discredited interpretation of supposed trauma and vague allusions to Satanic influence helped seal their fate. “It didn't matter that we weren't even there when they said it happened,” Vasquez explained. “It was all part of the panic at the time.” The podcast delves into the broader implications of junk science in wrongful convictions. Vasquez highlights how unproven medical theories—like the belief that hymenal “scarring” indicated abuse—were accepted as fact in courtrooms, despite no scientific foundation. “That wasn't science. It was a belief,” she says. Her case mirrors countless others where lives were destroyed by outdated or erroneous forensic assumptions. Despite spending more than a decade behind bars, Vasquez emerged not only free but determined to make change. She shares the emotional journey of rebuilding trust—first with a filmmaker whose documentary Southwest of Salem helped raise awareness, then with legal advocates who fought for her release. Her story is a powerful reminder of the human cost of wrongful convictions—and the extraordinary courage it takes to keep fighting for justice.

Three months ago, hotel operators were confident that the consumer downturn they were experiencing would end being a relatively quick pain. After the tariff matter was finally settled, Americans would sure go back to spending as they always seemed to. Instead, a whole bunch of critical and alarming data out just today has poured oceans of deflationary cold water on the recovery hope. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisReuters Hilton cuts 2025 revenue growth forecast as US travel demand softenshttps://www.reuters.com/business/hilton-cuts-2025-revenue-growth-forecast-economic-uncertainty-weighs-2025-04-29/PRNewswire WYNDHAM HOTELS & RESORTS REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER RESULTShttps://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/wyndham-hotels--resorts-reports-strong-first-quarter-results-302442939.htmlWyndham lowers 2025 RevPAR expectations amid dampened consumer sentimenthttps://www.hoteldive.com/news/wyndham-q1-2025-earnings-lower-revpar/746863/YahooFinance United, American, Southwest all surge after Delta's outlook lifts fortunes for US airlineshttps://finance.yahoo.com/news/united-american-southwest-all-surge-after-deltas-outlook-lifts-fortunes-for-us-airlines-144400677.htmlBloomberg US Producer Prices Stagnated on Decline in Services Costshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-16/us-producer-prices-stagnated-on-decline-in-services-costshttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

Welcome to our second episode with THE Stephen Pyne! Stephen is a renowned author and fire historian who, in addition to his academic life, also spent over a decade working on a fire crew on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon early in his career. Given this background, he seemed like quite possibly the perfect person to chat with about the recent Dragon Bravo Fire in Grand Canyon National Park. For a quick primer, the Dragon Bravo Fire started three miles north of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon during a lightning storm on July 5th. On Sunday, it destroyed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge and dozens of other buildings in the adjacent complex. It was being managed for resource benefit, or was in other words a "managed fire". I'm not going to go into all the details on the fire itself, but here's a thorough, measured analysis from my friend Zeke at the Lookout regarding what took place over the week or so that the fire was being “managed for resource benefit” (I'll get into what this means in a minute). Zeke also provides some of the behind the scenes context on wildfire decision making and some other educated thoughts that are very deserving of your time.Stephen, as you'd expect, had some great perspective to share about this event. While we avoided armchair quarterbacking the decision making on the fire, Stephen was able to speak a bit about the decades of precedent for this kind of wildfire tragedy in the Southwest, about the background of managed fire use in the National Parks, and how important managed fire can be to reducing wildfire risk—but only if we acknowledge the limitations of managed fire policy and take more strides to improve our processes and learn from our mistakes. One of the improvements Stephen advocates for is being more forthcoming about managed fire with the public, which would include agencies being very clear about what managed fire is and isn't, what the objectives of managed fire typically are, what preparations have been made to make managing a fire the right decision and also—importantly—that mistakes can happen and how we can better prepare in the event that they do. The biggest takeaway from this episode is that we've done a poor job of building trust with the public, and especially so around the practice of managed fire. Perhaps now is a good time to have that conversation, and to figure out how we can reframe this conversation so that people get more of a glimpse at managed fire when it goes right?For more background on Stephen, check out his TED Talk on how fire shapes everything, or this great essay he published in Scientific American last spring.

The John Redhouse book tour makes its way to Albuquerque where comrades from Red Nation, Dr. Jennifer Denetdale and Red Power Hour co-host Melanie Yazzie join author John Redhouse to discuss his new book, Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, Contested Territories: The Four Corners in the Turbulent 1970s Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel Press Release: "From the late summer of 1972 to the late summer of 1974, John Redhouse and many other Navajo and Indian rights activists threw all they had into mass movement organizing and direct action. And they were pretty good at it too in terms of effectiveness and impact. Written in the first-person and above all, with a collective spirit of generosity and witness, John Redhouse describes the hot temper of the times in the racist and exploitative border towns in the Four Corners area of the Southwest region. As John Redhouse says, “Without the People, you have nothing. But back then, we had a lot of people WITH us.” Yes, the Power of the People, the collective human spirit of the emerging local and regional Indian civil movement, thousands of us marching in the streets of Gallup and Farmington in northwestern New Mexico with our demands. A bold citizen's arrest at city hall, a downtown street riot, burning images of enemy leaders in effigy. And more marches, demonstrations, and direct actions. Above all, though, there was that Spirit—that unbroken, unconquerable spirit—that moved us, that drove us, that led us. And that was just in the border towns. In that turbulent decade, there was also the rapidly rising and spreading with-the-people, on-the-land resistance struggles in the coal, uranium, and oil and gas fields, and in disputed territories in the San Juan and Black Mesa basins that were targeted for ethnic cleansing and mineral extraction. Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, Contested Territories: The Four Corners in the Turbulent 1970s brings readers to the enduring issues of the day, traced over half a century ago, where John Redhouse and many more were in the middle of a revolution that unfolds to this day."
