1.25 million tourists just flooded into America for the World Cup — and what they're finding doesn't match a single thing CNN told them. The mainstream media's version of America is collapsing in real time, one Buc-ee's at a time. These visitors were told America was racist, divided, and drowning in Trump chaos. Instead they found free soda refills, massive sandwiches, and Southerners so friendly it felt like a Ted Lasso episode. Now the New York Times is calling the positive coverage a "psyop." Lance Wallnau breaks down why the left can't handle the world falling in love with the country they've spent years trying to tear down. In this episode: What 1.25 million World Cup tourists are actually saying about America Why the NYT called their positive experience a "Trump psychological operation" The patriotism gap: 90% of conservatives love America vs. 23% of the left Why the real America — the majority — is decent, hospitable, and nothing like the media's version Lance's challenge to Americans: you have far more to be thankful for than you think The story the media is desperately trying to bury is walking through our airports right now.

Tourism is booming again, but who should pay for the pressure that comes with it? A powerful alliance of mayors and tourism leaders is pushing for a nationwide accommodation levy, or bed tax. They argue tourists should help fund the roads, rubbish collection, public facilities and major events that keep our biggest destinations running. Supporters say it’s a common-sense user-pays model, one that would take pressure off local ratepayers. But critics say it’s just another tax, one that could make New Zealand more expensive and harder to compete as a travel destination. So why is this idea back on the table now? Why has it failed to get across the line before? And if a levy does happen, who pays, who collects it, and where should the money go? Today on The Front Page, Regional Tourism New Zealand chair Andrew Wilson is with us to discuss the growing push for an accommodation levy.

Al & Jerry: Picking out tourists in NYC is easy and why are people from different parts of the country so different?

The World Cup is in America and Europeans are losing their minds — in the best possible way. A German named Freddy went tubing down the Chattahoochee, discovered Buc-ee's, watched an eagle fly around a stadium, and declared it the most "European mind can't comprehend" moment of his life. A Swedish woman tried ranch dressing and said it was like crack. Bridget breaks down why watching foreigners fall in love with Real America is the 250th birthday celebration we actually needed — and why we take all of it completely for granted.

Welcome to The Treehouse Show, where stupid news, celebrity birthdays, and questionable life choices all come together under one roof.We kick things off with one of the internet's most heated debates: Is it okay to throw your bagged dog poop into someone else's trash can? A viral social media post sparked a surprisingly fierce argument, and we weigh in on whether it's harmless convenience or a neighborhood crime worthy of public shaming.Then we head to the UK, where a frustrated farmer finally reached his breaking point after people repeatedly parked on his property and damaged his fences.

There are some roads around the world that are both breathtaking and super dangerous! The North Yungas Road in Bolivia, also known as "Death Road," winds through steep cliffs with barely any guardrails to protect drivers. In India, the Leh-Manali Highway takes travelers through high mountain passes, but its narrow, rough roads make for a thrilling, heart-pounding ride. Tourists visiting these places are drawn by the beautiful views, but you need serious courage to tackle these routes. In Italy, the Amalfi Coast road is stunning but has sharp curves and heavy traffic. Even Iceland's Ring Road can get icy and tricky, especially during winter. If you're into adventure and don't mind a little danger, these roads are a must-see! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Any money made from charging international tourists to visit Aotearoa's most iconic spots should be spent in the region, the attraction is in. That's the view of a Coromandel resident's group. DOC is consulting on plans to charge international tourists a fee at up to ten popular spots around the motu. They include Milford Sound, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and Cathedral Cove. It estimates up to 250,000 people visit the cove near Hahei on the Coromandel Peninsula and 75 percent of them are international guests. Haihei Residents and rate payers Association and chair John Jonassen spoke to Lisa Owen.

Tourists strolling on the foggy night, we could hear men singing in a courtyard just beyond the bridge. Using my iPhone with a Rode Me-L, I walked to the circle of men, paused, and then exited down a narrow pathway between two buildings. Subsequent research confirmed that we were in an historic Jewish ghetto and the occasion for song and feasting was Lag BaOmar. Recorded in Venice by Emiko Morita.IMAGE: G.dallorto, CC BY-SA 2.5 IT , via Wikimedia Commons

New Zealand's cementing itself as a premium tourism destination. Market data from Grand View Research estimates our luxury travel market brought in more than $8 million last year and could double by 2033. Luxury Travel specialist Southern Crossings says overseas couples on their honeymoon for instance, consistently spend about the equivalent of a Central Auckland house deposit. Tourism New Zealand CEO René de Monchy told Heather du Plessis-Allan says we have amazing luxury offerings. He says coming out of Covid, people are really valuing experiences and that translates into their behaviour. “So people are saying after a few years locked up, that's not a natural way to be. Travel is important, experiences are important, and they're willing to spend the money to do it.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, the fifth month of 2026 is complete - and it was another one dominated by the impacts of the US/Israel war in Iran/Lebanon. This week, Gary and Hannah recap May's top 8 travel takeaways from across ASEAN and beyond with stopovers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Cambodia, plus China, India and the UK. En route, we discuss flight route cuts across South East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, and look at whether plans for an ASEAN reserve stockpile of crude oil would ease future jet fuel shocks. Meanwhile, visitor arrivals slowed in key markets and cratered in Cambodia and currency values fell sharply in Indonesia and Thailand. On a brighter note, carriers in Singapore and Malaysia are seeing growth on routes with Australia and Europe. Plus, we assess the surge of Indian tourists to Vietnam, and address the potential benefits of Xiaohongshu's impressive tourism tie-up in Singapore .

Sarah never considered herself the kind of person who goes looking for ghosts. Visiting the Driskill Hotel in Austin was supposed to be more about history, sightseeing, and having fun with friends than chasing paranormal activity.Honestly, the hotel's ghost stories felt a little too polished to take seriously. Haunted room pamphlets. Famous legends. Tourists hoping to see something spooky.But right before leaving the hotel, one final photo on the grand staircase forced her to reconsider everything.What showed up in the pictures didn't look like dust, camera glare, or a random lighting issue. And the stranger part? The same thing appeared twice… moving between shots.Years later, she still isn't sure whether they accidentally captured proof of something paranormal—or whether the Driskill simply has a way of making skeptics question themselves.#RealGhostStories #DriskillHotel #HauntedHotel #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #HauntedAustin #OrbPhenomenon #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #TexasGhostStoriesLove real ghost stories?

This week, we're talking everything from Kevin Hart's roast and modern comedy culture to sneakerheads, luxury fashion, and why everybody today seems obsessed with being “in the mix.” The difference between people who genuinely love a culture versus people chasing trends for validation.

Funny, real, and unfiltered — this episode is one big conversation about authenticity, self-worth, and why standing on who you are matters more than chasing what's popular.

Often following natural disasters, conspiracists, militias, and white supremacist groups sweep in to hard-hit communities offering help. But they've been called “disaster tourists,” out to soften their image, gain followers and sow doubt in the government. Correspondent Lesley Stahl speaks with law enforcement and a self-proclaimed white nationalist to explore whether this is becoming “the new normal". From the dense jungle in the mountains of western Colombia, correspondent Anderson Cooper reports on how decades of armed conflict between the Colombian government and left-wing guerrillas, right-wing paramilitaries, and narco-traffickers created “no-go” areas where rare species of birds flourish.  Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Grasse in the south of France where flowers for the world's most famous perfume have been grown and gathered for more than one hundred years. In the early 1900s, Grasse was home to more than 10,000 acres of flower fields; today it's just over 100.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

If the Strait of Hormuz completely reopens, it still might not be enough to restart the economies in the Persian Gulf. Many countries there have been hammered by the oil crisis. And although allowing ships through would stanch the immediate bloodletting in the energy sector, other sectors might not spring back so quickly. Tourists are visiting less. Property markets are at risk. On today's show, we survey the economic damage to countries in the Gulf.
