Podcasts about un general assembly

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump said he won’t try to revive a stalled truce with Iran, leaving the simmering conflict in the Middle East and a tussle for control of the Strait of Hormuz stuck in limbo. A memorandum of understanding the US and Iran signed in June that gave them a 60-day window to negotiate a lasting peace deal technically expired Monday, and when Trump was asked if he would seek an extension, he replied: “No.” The ceasefire had been repeatedly violated in any event, with intermittent clashes continuing, and both sides had declared it defunct. Brent crude climbed Tuesday - by its highest level in more than three weeks - as prospects dimmed for a swift reopening of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and gas transited before the war. Trump is demanding that free passage through the waterway be restored, while Iran said it will govern traffic in conjunction with Oman. 2) Jared Kushner assured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Israeli army won’t be compelled to withdraw from Gaza until Hamas disarms, an official with knowledge of the talks said, a stance that will dim hopes for a Gaza peace deal anytime soon. Kushner met with Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday, a day after holding talks with a Hamas leader in Egypt. The US and Israel agreed there would be no Israel Defense Forces redeployment from Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed and all of Gaza is demilitarized, according to the Board of Peace official, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. Those conditions are likely to be rejected by Hamas, which has insisted that Israel withdraw from Gaza before it gives up its weapons.3) Chinese leader Xi Jinping will forgo a stop in New York to address the UN General Assembly during a trip to the US next month to meet President Donald Trump, Politico reported. Politico cited four people familiar with the matter whom it didn’t identify. Xi plans to visit the US for three days, meeting Trump on Sept. 24, one of the people said. There’d been speculation that Xi would join other world leaders at the UN meeting as part of his US visit. Trump invited Xi to visit during his trip to Beijing in May. The two sides used their spring summit to steady ties that had deteriorated over trade, tech, Taiwan and other issues.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before he ever sat across a table from UN delegates, Matthew Gianni spent 10 years working as a commercial fisherman up and down both US coasts. Gillnetting for Spanish and king mackerel in Florida. Bottom trawling off central California, New England, and Florida for sole, redfish, hake, sablefish, shrimp, and other groundfish. Hook-and-lining for salmon and albacore tuna in Oregon and California. Running pots for Dungeness crab and dredging for deep sea scallops on Georges Bank. In today's episode, I trace how that decade on deck, watching coral and glass sponges get shoveled back overboard from trawls that dragged the seafloor a thousand meters down, planted the seed for a career that would eventually take him to the UN General Assembly. Two fights as a working fisherman pushed Matthew toward advocacy. First, he helped organize fellow fishermen to halt a $110 million plan to dump San Francisco Bay dredge spoils directly onto prime fishing grounds off the Southern California coast, a fight that eventually moved the disposal site off the continental shelf. Second, he represented the fishing industry in efforts to block new offshore oil and gas leases along the central California coast. Both wins showed him what organized advocacy could accomplish, and they set him on a path toward Greenpeace International, where he helped launch the international fisheries campaign, worked on the UN's 1991-1992 moratorium on high seas driftnet fishing [VERIFY dates], and eventually ran Greenpeace's global Ocean Program from Amsterdam. In the early 2000s, Matthew co-founded the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, an international coalition of organizations working to protect deep sea biodiversity from harmful activities, where he now serves as political and policy advisor. What started as a fight against deep sea bottom trawling on seamounts has, since 2014, expanded to include deep sea mining, an industry Matthew argues is moving to tear into the seabed before scientists even have a baseline understanding of what lives there. This is the first episode in a week-long series on the deep sea, building toward my full interview with Matthew, airing Friday.

Live call in 800.930.2819 - Today we celebrate 2 important events: 1) International Day of Friendship: Proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 2011 to promote peace and bridges between communities. 2) On this day in 1956, Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation making “In God We Trust” the official motto of the United States. The following year the phrase began appearing on $1 bills, and it was later added to larger denominations. The new motto replaced the country's long-standing unofficial one, “E pluribus unum” (Latin: “Out of many, one”), which was featured on the Great Seal of the United States, created in 1782. Read on to discover why the decision was controversial.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 27, 2026. We open with Chris Christie's Sunday morning declaration that the Trump show is over, that Iran has learned the president's threats are just bluster, and that there are no signs the United States is winning. We explain why this is not just wrong — it is reckless. Wars are not won or lost on Sunday talk show segments. But enemies listen. They translate every word. They study our divisions and exploit them. Christie chose to go on national television and tell Tehran to hold on just a little longer on the exact weekend that Iran was sending desperate messages through dozens of third countries begging to restart negotiations — after 13 consecutive days of U.S. bombing had decimated their defense industrial base, their launchers, their radars, and their economy. When critics tell the enemy that America's resolve is crumbling, they are shaping the battlefield in a way that benefits the adversary. That is not speaking truth to power. That is threatening the men and women in uniform. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump attended the White House Correspondents Dinner and delivered a speech roasting CNN's Kaitlin Collins, RFK Jr., Ted Cruz, Gavin Newsom, Rosie O'Donnell, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Christie, J.B. Pritzker, and others — with the jokes about the media landing to dead silence and the Trump 2028 trolling getting the biggest reaction of the night. Then the Maine Democratic Party officially replaced Graham Plattner — who was elected by actual voters — with Troy Jackson, a party insider selected by party leaders, because Plattner's sex scandals made him unelectable. It is Kamala Harris 2024 all over again, except instead of Sleepy Joe, they had Sleazy Graham. And an ISIS-linked attacker drove a van into a crowd at a Berlin Pride parade before exiting with a machete — killing one person and injuring 29 others before being tracked down and shot by police in a Berlin suburb. We also cover Mayor Mamdani's announcement that New Yorkers should protest when Benjamin Netanyahu visits New York for the UN General Assembly — framing Netanyahu as a war criminal and architect of genocide based on an International Criminal Court warrant the United States does not recognize. We point out that the last protest near Mamdani's home was accompanied by two Muslims attempting to kill everyone in the area with homemade bombs. We also note that foreign policy is not run from city hall in Manhattan, that the Constitution is explicit about this, and that encouraging massive protests based on blood libel lies is not just constitutionally illiterate — it is dangerous. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson report from a campfire conversation in Wyoming — where Teri's Danish-American friend, a naturalized citizen who cannot stand Trump, was asked who she would want as the next president. Her answer: not Gavin Newsom, not AOC. Marco Rubio — because he's presidential, articulate, and could actually bring people together. Terry says that's the first moment she could picture Rubio as president. We explore the historic possibility of a Trump-Vance-Rubio sequential presidency — comparing it to Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe — and what three consecutive terms of the same political coalition would mean for the Democratic Party's long-term survival. We dig deep into the financial collapse of the Democratic National Committee — reported not by Breitbart but by the New York Times and the Huffington Post. The DNC chair reportedly threw his phone at a staffer during a meeting over the party's finances. The DNC has asked vendors to delay sending bills until after the midterms so the debt doesn't appear on the balance sheet. The party is $2 million in the hole — $18 million in debt against $16 million on hand — and has already mortgaged its national headquarters to secure a $15 million line of credit. The RNC, by contrast, has $128 million cash on hand and zero debt. President Trump's personal war chest adds another $400 million. The Democrats have no message, the message they do have isn't resonating, and the money is not coming in. We also cover Senator John Kennedy's response on CBS to questions about the SAVE Act — where he calmly explained to Margaret Brennan that election integrity requires exactly two things: prove you are who you say you are to register and vote, and get back to knowing the results on election night instead of election month. We call it exactly what it is — a bright spot. And we note that 70-80% of Americans agree with Kennedy, depending on the poll. The only people who don't are Democrat politicians afraid of their own radical base. We also cover Hakeem Jeffries telling CNN that 6,600 non-citizens being registered to vote in New Jersey — with hundreds confirmed to have voted — is not a problem, and is actually an example of Republican voter suppression. We say what needs to be said: yes, Hakeem. We are trying to suppress illegal votes. That is exactly what the SAVE Act does. If the Democrat Party needs illegal votes to win, the Democrat Party should not win. And we close with 11-year-old Nehemiah Turner of Jacksonville, Florida — who started reading books to shelter dogs at the Jacksonville Humane Society, logged 100 volunteer hours becoming the first person in the program to reach that milestone, became a straight-A student in the process, and has now set his sights on 200 hours. The dogs get comfort. Nehemiah gets better at reading. Everybody wins. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

In this week's Autopsy we react to two travel influencers who responded to a UN General Assembly vote on slavery by advising their followers which countries are unsafe to travel to based on how those countries voted. The video is well-intentioned and the sensitivity behind it is entirely understandable. The analysis is not.The resolution in question called the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the racialized chattel enslavement of Africans the gravest crime against humanity. The United States, Israel and Argentina voted against. Roughly 50 countries abstained, most of them European. The influencers interpreted this as a vote between countries that think slavery is bad and countries that think it is acceptable, and drew travel safety conclusions accordingly. That is not what happened.We discuss why this matters. Not because the influencers are bad people, but because collapsing a complex diplomatic vote into a binary of good countries and bad countries actively blocks the serious conversations that the topic of slavery, reparations and European responsibility actually deserves.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.globaldispatches.orgTo the world, Zohran Mamdani is the mayor of New York. To the UN, he is the mayor of its host city. So when he posted a video calling for the arrest and extradition of Benjamin Netanyahu to the International Criminal Court should he visit the UN General Assembly in September, it naturally generated some buzz around the UN.Of course, the New York mayor h…

The race to become the next United Nations Secretary-General is heating up, with the Security Council preparing to hold its first straw polls to test the viability of the candidates. In this Global Dispatches exclusive, I speak with María Fernanda Espinosa, a former foreign minister, defense minister, and UN ambassador for Ecuador who served as president of the UN General Assembly from 2018 to 2019. Espinosa discusses how her early work with Indigenous communities in Ecuador continues to shape her approach to diplomacy and problem-solving. She also explains her proposal to create a crisis-prevention and early-action hub at the UN and shares her views on the organization's role in conflicts involving Iran and Ukraine. We also discuss how the next Secretary-General can advance global health and development—and what should replace the Sustainable Development Goals after their 2030 deadline. It is a wide-ranging conversation with a leading international diplomat seeking to lead the United Nations at a particularly precarious moment in global affairs.

Rita Cosby breaks down the breaking news from South Carolina as Darlene Graham announces her run for the full Senate term, stepping up to honor the legacy of her late brother, Senator Lindsey Graham. The conversation then shifts to a terrifying incident in downtown Manhattan where an armed extremist attacked the ICE and immigration court building with gasoline and a pellet gun. Rita and her callers discuss how extreme anti-ICE rhetoric from politicians may be fueling this dangerous violence. Finally, Rita rips into NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani for his inflammatory comments about ICE and his bizarre pledge to attempt to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly.

Rita dives into the rapidly escalating US-Iran conflict as President Trump unleashes a tenth straight night of severe attacks following the deaths of three American soldiers. Meanwhile, back in New York, Rita and her callers tear into NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's controversial and legally dubious threat to have the NYPD arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he arrives for the UN General Assembly.

In this segment, host Tara Servatius examines the political clash surrounding the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the extradition of high-profile political figures. Following an announcement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that the U.S. will not cooperate with or extradite anyone to the ICC—and will sanction allies that do—New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated that he believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu belongs in The Hague as a war criminal and is reviewing whether the NYPD can enforce an ICC warrant if Netanyahu attends the UN General Assembly in September. Servatius argues that Mamdani's statements, alongside rhetoric from high-profile Democrats like James Carville suggesting future administrations could refuse to protect political figures or military leaders from international prosecution, are part of a broader strategy to establish legal precedents for extraditing political opponents to international tribunals.

The 8th edition of London Climate Action Week (LCAW) wrapped up June 28, and in this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast we're talking about key takeaways with Nick Mabey. Nick is LCAW's Founder and Chair. He's also CEO and Co-Founder of global climate change think tank E3G.    In the episode, Nick explains why LCAW continued to grow in 2026 — he estimates the week included over 1,300 events across the city and more than 75,000 attendees.   "It was just a huge sense of energy and confidence in the overall project of climate action ... among the politicians, among the businesses," Nick says. "We've worked really hard to make it very clear that climate change is everybody's business."  Nick explains why risk and resilience featured heavily on the LCAW agenda in 2026.   "The structural lack of investment in resilience — whether that's resilience against climate shocks or resilience against energy shocks or resilience against food shocks — is a feature of our economies and our governance which we need to deal with urgently, because we can't afford to keep on paying the price of these disasters," Nick tells us.  We also talk to Climate Group CEO Helen Clarkson to understand how LCAW sets the scene for big upcoming events on the sustainability calendar — like Climate Week NYC in September and the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP31) in November.   Climate Group is the nonprofit that organizes Climate Week NYC in coordination with the UN General Assembly and the City of New York. Helen discusses how the Middle East conflict is leading to rising emphasis on energy security in sustainability discussions, reshaping the energy mix in some parts of the world. She also highlights the importance of framing climate as an opportunity in addition to a risk.   "Business is going to have to adapt and respond, and there's a lot of opportunity in doing that," Helen says. "I think we can see that when people come together like this."  Further listening:   Listen to our podcast coverage of London Climate Action Week in 2025: How these key summer events set the scene for COP30 in Brazil | S&P Global   Listen to our podcast interview with the new Chair of The Earthshot Prize: Climate Week Zurich: How retail giant IKEA built the business case for sustainability | S&P Global  Listen to our podcast coverage about climate and insurance:   How one of the world's largest insurers is building climate resilience | S&P Global  Why all eyes are on insurance in climate risk conversations | S&P Global  Why insurance is becoming central to climate risk conversations | S&P Global  Further reading:   How high-resolution data translates flood risk into financial risk | S&P Global  Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global Disclaimer By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

Almudena opens with a distinction that anchors the entire conversation: space security, unlike space safety, is about intentional harm. It concerns deliberate attempts to disrupt, deny, or destroy space systems and the services they provide, and it is discussed not in Vienna at COPUOS but in forums like the Conference on Disarmament and the UN General Assembly's First Committee in Geneva. AI, she argues, is not new to space systems, having been slowly integrated since the late 1990s for data processing and autonomous operations, but its implications for security are only beginning to surface in multilateral discussions. On the opportunities AI presents, Almudena is clear: faster data processing for space situational awareness, smarter collision avoidance, more efficient Earth observation, and greater autonomy for robotic explorers in deep space. But she is equally clear about the risks. The black box nature of AI systems adds a layer of opacity to operations that are already difficult to attribute, and in a geopolitically tense environment, opacity contributes to escalation. She walks through a scenario that captures the danger precisely: an adversary feeding incorrect data to an AI system managing satellite manoeuvres, causing it to collide rather than avoid. The AI has not been weaponized in the traditional sense, but the satellite has, and liability under existing frameworks is far from straightforward. On governance, Almudena resists the temptation to call for an entirely new treaty architecture. The Outer Space Treaty, she argues, was always a treaty of principles, functioning more like a constitution than a rulebook, and its core provisions on non-discrimination, responsibility, and due regard remain relevant in the age of AI. What is needed is not a replacement but a layered approach: applying existing principles thoughtfully, developing non-legally binding norms where binding agreements are politically out of reach, and remaining flexible enough to adapt as the technology evolves. She also flags cyber as the technology deserving the most urgent attention in the near term, given how deeply software-dependent space systems have become and how difficult cyber-attacks are to attribute and deter.Episode Contributors Tejas Bharadwaj is a senior research analyst with the Technology and Society Program at Carnegie India. He works on space law and policies, tracking India's space sector developments as well as issues pertaining to space security and sustainability globally.

Persian Poetry, Radical Love, and the Soul of Iran“The path to God goes through that most difficult of beings, the human being.” – Omid SafiRecorded live at a SAND Community Gathering (April 2026). Watch the full conversation on the SAND Website. We are watching, once again, what empire does: not only to bodies, but to the long memory of a people; to the libraries and sacred sites; to art, language, and the ruins that hold the oldest threads of human spiritual inquiry. We are thinking of the civilization that gave us Rumi, Hafez, Omar Khayyam, Forough Farrokhzad — mystics and rebels and lovers of paradox who understood something about the human soul that we are still, centuries later, trying to catch up to. This gathering invited us to come together: to read poetry aloud, to hear from Iranian voices, to sit with grief and beauty together rather than alone. We work with political and moral vocabulary shaped by Iranian thinkers such as Ali Shariati, who wrote against domination, spiritual emptiness, and the violence of imposed power. We make space for what doesn't fit into headlines or talking points—the complexity of empire, the difference between a government and its people, the authoritarian forces at work not only abroad but here at home. We also gather with the political inheritance of those who taught generations to resist domination and spiritual emptiness, including Ali Shariati. Guests Omid Safi is a scholar of the Islamic mystical tradition and professor of Islamic Studies at Duke University. He is the author of Memories of Muhammad and Radical Love: Teachings from the Islamic Mystical Tradition, and teaches online courses on Muslim mysticism. He leads contemplative journeys to Turkey, Morocco, and Mecca/Medina through Illuminated Courses. Fatemeh Keshavarz is the Roshan Institute Chair in Persian Language and Literature and Director of the Roshan Institute Center for Persian Studies at the University of Maryland. A poet in Persian and English, she is the author of Reading Mystical Lyric, Recite in the Name of the Red Rose, Jasmine and Stars: Reading More Than Lolita in Tehran, and Lyrics of Life: Sa'di on Love, Cosmopolitanism and Care of the Self. She has spoken at the UN General Assembly and received the Peabody Award for her NPR program on Rumi. Mays Imad, PhD (facilitator) is a neuroscientist, educator, and associate professor at Connecticut College whose work bridges neuroscience, philosophy, and education. An Iraqi immigrant who lived through wars and displacement, she brings both personal and scholarly depth to the themes of trauma, remembrance, and repair through the embodied nervous system.

A new UN resolution is bringing renewed attention to the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. On March 25, 2026, the UN General Assembly recognized it as the "gravest crime against humanity," reigniting calls for reparations, and debate over who should be held responsible. What comes next? And how does the legacy of slavery still shape Africa today?

You loved the Old Testament. You read the sequel, the New Testament. Now, get ready for the reboot, the Third Testament. No, thank you. Jon Stewart hosted Annalena Baerbock, the President of the UN General Assembly. The UN, you'll recall, is a useless organization that pushes globalism and enjoys usurping the sovereignty of individual nations. No, thank you. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum has exposed funding problems with NGOs. If he trims his eyebrows, he loses all his power. A competitor to "Call Her Daddy" is emerging. Let's see how Excuse Me Grandma holds up. No, thank you.

This is AI x Multilateralism, a playlist of conversations at the Commons, our space at the UN Library & Archives Geneva for sharing knowledge on multilateralism. In this series, we're joined by experts who help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation.   In this episode we ask: can AI help us better predict, respond to, and recover from crises? We're joined by Dr. Martin Waehlisch, Associate Professor of Transformative Technologies, Innovation and Global Affairs at the University of Birmingham. He's also part of the Research Team of the Crisis Computing Project, a global community of scholars and practitioners who are driven to put computation to better use.     He shares: what drives his teaching today on transformative technologies, and why he prefers the term “computational global affairs” to “international affairs” in today's world what exactly crisis computing means, and the kinds of crises he hopes that AI can help us to address, from complex climate prediction to public participation in decision-making the potential of crisis computing at the local, regional and multilateral level, and his thoughts on how crisis computing can be addressed as part of the UN's Global Dialogue on AI and the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, both established by the UN General Assembly in 2025, and what is still missing in the global debate when it comes to how we use AI individually and collectively.  Resources mentioned:  The Crisis Computing Project: https://crisiscomputing.org/   The Peace and Security Data Hub : https://psdata.un.org/   The Complex Risk Analytics Fund (CRAF'd): https://crafd.io/ and the Humanitarian Data Exchange: https://data.humdata.org/   Production:    Guest: Dr. Martin Waehlisch  Host, production and editing: Natalie Alexander Julien  Podcast Music credits: Sequence: https://uppbeat.io/track/img/sequence Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/img/sequence License code: 6ZFT9GJWASPTQZL0 Recorded & produced at the Commons, United Nations Library & Archives Geneva  #AI #Multilateralism #CrisisComputing #CrisisResponse 

The UN General Assembly has appointed 40 members to the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence. The members' three-year term will run until February, 2029.

In the aftermath of the war on Gaza, a proposed “Board of Peace” emerged on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September 2025. The body was envisioned as a temporary entity with a two-year mandate to oversee Gaza's reconstruction and economic recovery. Louis Charbonneau, UN director at Human Rights Watch, discusses the proposed Board of Peace and examines the impact of the United States' withdrawal from 31 United Nations entities, most of which focus on humanitarian aid, human rights, and climate change.

On this episode of the SeventySix Capital Sports Leadership Show, Wayne Kimmel interviewed Jeff Mostyn, the Former Chairman of AFC Bournemouth⁠. There have been few constants in AFC Bournemouth's incredible rise to the Premier League. Aside from the sight of the inspirational performances from the team, achieving the almost impossible by reaching the Premier League in 2015, it is an almost unrecognisable club from just ten years ago. But its fairy tale success wouldn't have been possible without the boardroom backing of former Chairman Jeff Mostyn following his purchase of the club in 2007. The club has now become one of the most progressive and admired clubs, both on and off the field within the English football pyramid. Mostyn now stands as an immensely well-respected figure not only in the English game but also on the Global stage due to his unparalleled knowledge of the Football Pyramid. He has held places on the board of the Football League and the Football Association Council and is just as influential in the local area, contributing as an ambassador to the club's Community Sports Trust where he remains a trustee. Mostyn is also part of a small group of Football Chairman to have held the position at the same club in the top four divisions, along with Swansea City's Huw Jenkins and Dave Whelan at Wigan Athletic. In 2011 he was elected by the 72 Football League Clubs to represent them on the FA Council working on several of the Football Association committees, including those for Disability, FA Youth and Compliance Monitoring, as well as chairing the prestigious FA Challenge Cup Committee. In 2012 Jeff was elected to the Board of Directors of the Football League. During the 2015/16 season Jeff was elected as an FA England Team Ambassador, supporting the FA and England teams overseas. Following the club's administration in 2009, Mostyn stepped down to become Vice-Chairman of the club, before once again taking up the position of Chairman at AFC Bournemouth in September 2013, with a historic promotion to the English Premier League following less than two years later. Away from football, he is a family man and has been married to his wife Rose for 44 years and has four children. Amongst Jeff's charitable work he supports Prostate Cancer UK and is a patron for Dorset Cancer Care Foundation, Ambassador of Julia's House Children's Hospice, Ambassador of Lewis-Manning Hospice Care. Jeff is a global ambassador for Football for Peace and had the honour of presenting to dignitaries at the UN General Assembly in New York in September 2019. Jeff was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Bournemouth University in Business Administration in November 2017, in recognition of his work at AFC Bournemouth and the Community. Jeff received a Fellowship of the FA Council in 2021. Finally in 2023 The Premier League acknowledged Jeff's contribution to the League and the wider Football Family with a personal award. The rise of AFC Bournemouth from the depths of despair in 2006 to the glorified heights of the English Premier League is one of sports greatest ever achievements. It was once described as a Hans Christian Anderson fairy story that somehow came to life. Jeff Stepped down as Chairman of the football club in December 2022, taking up a role as Ambassador for the clubs, Community Sports Trust. On the 30th October 2025, Jeff published his autobiography “The Chairman”Chapters00:00 Introduction to Jeff Mostyn and AFC Bournemouth01:35 Jeff's Journey to Bournemouth Ownership05:04 Emotional Rollercoaster of Football Ownership08:50 The Impact of Community and Relationships12:49 Writing 'The Chairman' and Contributions from Football Royalty17:57 The Journey to Premier League Promotion22:56 Building a Successful Team Culture28:05 The Future of AFC Bournemouth and Community Engagement29:20 World Cup Excitement and the Power of Football

In this episode, we welcome Senator Ron Johnson, who shares insights from his recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. We discuss the dysfunction in Washington regarding government funding and the need for automatic rolling two-week continuing resolutions to reduce uncertainty. Senator Johnson also addresses the potential link between acetaminophen and autism, emphasizing the importance of informed consent in healthcare decisions. Furthermore, we explore the evolving landscape of public health transparency and the impact of recent events on public trust in government. Next, we engage with Congressman Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the new January 6th subcommittee, as he sheds light on the ongoing investigations into the events surrounding January 6th. We discuss the previous committee's alleged biases, the quest for missing documents, and the role of paid informants during the Capitol riot. Loudermilk emphasizes the importance of uncovering the truth behind the security failures and the mysterious presence of informants in the crowd. Finally, we delve into the recent declarations from Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, and the UK recognizing Palestine as a state ahead of the UN General Assembly. Senior Research Fellow for National Security Policy at the Heritage Foundation, Steve Yates, joins us to unpack the implications of this recognition, the conditions set forth, and the broader geopolitical context. We explore the complexities surrounding Hamas, the potential consequences of these declarations, and the historical context of international relations in the region.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, a federal appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs was unlawful, which is absolutely ridiculous. This decision could disrupt trade agreements with countries like the EU, Japan, and South Korea which is not what Trump wants. It also puts at risk tariffs aimed at China, Canada, and Mexico, which were intended to curb fentanyl shipments in border traffickings. In addition, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made the decision to prevent Palestinian leaders, such as Mahmoud Abbas, from participating in the forthcoming UN General Assembly. The genius of Rubio asserts that this action is in accordance with U.S. laws that oppose Palestinian statehood and impose penalties on the Palestinian Authority for financially supporting those convicted of terrorism. This decision effectively denies visas to high-ranking officials from both the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization, although personnel at the UN mission will still be permitted to remain. Lastly, a group of Democratic influencers were offered $8,000 a month to join a secretive program run by Chorus, a nonprofit tied to a liberal marketing platform. These influencers are a problem; therefore, we demand to know how much make so we can put an end to their political funding.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
