Managing fishing vessels goes far beyond tracking where a boat is registered. In this episode, we dive into Oceana's Beyond the Flag report to explore how large-scale fishing vessels are often flagged in one country but owned in another, creating dangerous loopholes that allow illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing to thrive. This legal and beneficial ownership opacity undermines ocean governance, drains resources from coastal nations, and hides the true power behind global fishing operations. Managing fishing vessels transparently is essential for sustainable ocean futures. We discuss why more than 6,900 industrial vessels are shrouded in secrecy, how open registries like Panama and Belize fuel the problem, and what can be done to hold owners accountable. With solutions ranging from public vessel ownership databases to policy reform, this episode highlights how better transparency could transform fisheries management worldwide.

A discussion on the political struggle to gain access to federal government databases and the subsequent findings of widespread fraud. The hosts recount the conflict between the new administration, led by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its allies, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and entrenched bureaucrats and Democrats who fought to block access. The hosts detail the legal battles and ultimate success in accessing the Social Security database. They reveal the findings, which include 275,000 illegal immigrants and 12.4 million people over 120 years old on the Social Security rolls. The hosts argue this fraud was a deliberate strategy by the previous administration to pad voter numbers and provide income to a demographic of new immigrants. The segment concludes with a critique of Democratic opposition to these "America First" policies and a preview of upcoming show topics.

This two-part analysis exposes what the speaker describes as the "massive corruption" and "rogue elements" within U.S. intelligence agencies. The host argues that the Russia collusion narrative was a "team sport" manufactured by figures like James Clapper and Andrew McCabe to serve political ends, specifically to undermine Donald Trump's presidency and shield Hillary Clinton from her own legal troubles. Citing allegedly "burned bag" documents that were never fully destroyed, the host contends that the FBI's investigations into Hillary Clinton's use of a private server and the Clinton Foundation were deliberately suppressed. The monologue concludes by asserting that a vast, entrenched bureaucracy is a greater threat to the country than foreign adversaries and that the public has been repeatedly lied to by the media and intelligence community.

A single gene that reverses ageing by over 13 years without activating pluripotency or cancer risk? Shift Bioscience may have cracked the code with SB000, an AI-discovered gene that could revolutionise how we approach ageing, rejuvenation, and gene therapy. In this detailed breakdown, Lisa Tamati, longevity coach, biohacker, and host of the Longevity & Lifestyle podcast Pushing The Limits, explores how SB000 was discovered using cutting-edge AI and transcriptomic ageing clocks, what it actually does at the cellular level, and what this means for the future of safe, targeted anti-aging interventions. What you'll learn in this episode: How cell age reversal has become a real possibility Why Yamanaka factors (OSKM) carry cancer risk How Shift Bioscience used AI to simulate 562 million gene combinations What makes SB000 unique as a “transcriptomic rejuvenator” The therapeutic potential of SB000 in reversing ageing safely Why this matters for the future of biohacking, longevity science, and gene therapy Visit Shift Biosciences to learn more about this study: https://www.shiftbioscience.com/

Hitler, Stalin, and Mao ruled through violence, fear, and ideology. But in recent decades a new breed of media-savvy strongmen has been redesigning authoritarian rule for a more sophisticated, globally connected world. In place of overt, mass repression, rulers such as Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Viktor Orbán control their citizens by distorting information and simulating democratic procedures. Like spin doctors in democracies, they spin the news to engineer support. Uncovering this new brand of authoritarianism, Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman explain the rise of such “spin dictators,” describing how they emerge and operate, the new threats they pose, and how democracies should respond. Spin Dictators traces how leaders such as Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and Peru's Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power. They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits. The book reveals why most of today's authoritarians are spin dictators—and how they differ from the remaining “fear dictators” such as Kim Jong-un and Bashar al-Assad. Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century (Princeton UP, 2022) is aimed at a general audience, synthesizing a vast amount of qualitative and quantitative research by the authors and many other scholars. The book is highly readable, with a great mix of anecdotes and examples along with plain-English explanations of academic research findings. However, it also provides an excellent overview of contemporary global authoritarianism for academics. Almost every claim in the book has an endnote reference to the original research for those who want to follow up. The endnotes mean that despite its moderately intimidating 340-page heft, the main text is a very approachable 219 pages. Daniel Treisman is a professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research focuses on Russian politics and economics as well as comparative political economy, including in particular the analysis of democratization, the politics of authoritarian states, political decentralization, and corruption. In 2021-22, he was a visiting fellow at Stanford University's Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences and he was recently named a 2022 Andrew Carnegie Fellow. A graduate of Oxford University (B.A. Hons.) and Harvard University (Ph.D. 1995), he has published five books and numerous articles in leading political science and economics journals including The American Political Science Review and The American Economic Review, as well as in public affairs journals such as Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy. He has also served as a consultant for the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and USAID.

The host claims that a series of "bombshell" declassified documents, found in a burn bag, prove that former FBI Director James Comey and Democrats Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell committed felonies by illegally leaking classified data. He alleges that a DOJ investigation into these crimes was shut down by Merrick Garland in 2023. The host contrasts this alleged cover-up with the Mar-a-Lago raid, arguing it demonstrates a "dual justice system" targeting opponents. The transcript then shifts to a different topic, with the host praising President Trump's foreign policy. He claims that Trump's tough stance has led Mexico to hand over high-ranking cartel figures, something previous administrations failed to do despite providing significant funding to Mexico. The host argues that previous globalist leaders had contempt for Americans and viewed cartels as "agents of integration" to bring in new voters and suppress wages. He connects this to a recent surge in illegal immigrants voluntarily leaving the country, which he presents as further evidence of Trump's effectiveness and the ease with which these issues could have been solved all along.

While Congress is on its traditional August recess, the House Oversight Committee is still investigating the alleged cover-up of former President Biden's decline. However, the former President insists he was responsible for all decisions that came out of the White House during his time in office, and former staff members claim they saw no obvious sign of a decline. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (KY-1) joins the Rundown to discuss the Committee's investigation into whether the Biden administration covered up the cognitive deterioration of former President Biden. For decades, advocates have been trying to convince the government that psychedelic drugs could be used as medicine and help with conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. But their efforts fell short. However, there is hope with the Trump Administration as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voiced his openness to testing their effectiveness. A few states have legalized psychedelics for therapy, and Texas has recently approved funding for research into ibogaine, a psychoactive compound found in a West African shrub. Former Texas Governor and first-term Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry was behind the effort in Texas and hopes it leads to the development of a drug that wins approval for clinical trials and could eventually be given in a monitored hospital setting. Gov. Perry joins the Rundown to discuss the potential benefits of ibogaine and other psychedelic therapies, and how an Afghanistan veteran inspired his advocacy.

Checking in after 2 years since I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer to share that recovery from the trauma of a diagnosis is possible.  In the last episode I talked about inner strength that I use in managing my mindset as a survivor. The outlook of knowing I will be ok and controlling the things I am allowed to control does not restrict me from looking back at my recovery. This podcast is about sharing my story and advocating. The milestones of recovery from what makes up a diagnosis are important to reflect on, in my opinion.  Since it is summer, I am going to my pool fairly often right now. I love how the water feels on my body and swimming has always been a therapeutic activity for me. So of course I went to my pool as soon as I could after my surgery (2 years ago).  As I work to set goals in my life (also something I talked about in the last episode), I am planning more fun activities each week. Last week I met up at the pool with a few friends and neighbors. This pool time (alone or with friends) is what I call a “great escape”. It is not really an adventure but it takes me to such a different place the moment I enter the gates of the pool.   I crave these moments away from all that makes up my life. In the pool (at the pool), it is a time to move in the water and release physical and emotional tension as I swim (usually very leisurely) up and down the lanes. Last week, when I was with my friends, we sat and ate chips and dip (definitely therapeutic) before going to kick and talk in the water. We had a lot of space to ourselves and it was a completely relaxing block of time.  So as in last week's episode I talked about doing more than just going through the motions of each week in a month, year, etc., I share my experience of how this can be such a boost to keeping connected and having a positive outlook plus some fun during a day in my breast cancer life.  I cannot say for sure if I would have found it so important to block out fun and intentionally plan my life ahead (for fun and function) if I had not been diagnosed with breast cancer. I do know that because of my breast cancer experience, I am grasping on to opportunities to have fun and connect with others, while also taking care of me with great intention.   My recent episode about navigating the mindset in survivorship:  Episode 57 Inner Strength Unveiled: Navigating Mindset and Hope After Breast Cancer If you are interested in hearing my episode about the healing effects of swimming for me, listen here: Episode 48 Swimming for Self Love as a Breast Cancer Survivor Also, if you'd like to be the first to receive updates and exclusive content from the upcoming Breast Cancer Life newsletter, please email me at connect@breastcancerlife.org.

A Note from James:"Anatomy of a Con Artist. The 14 red flags to spot scammers, grifters, and thieves". This is a book—an amazing book—by Johnathan Walton.Check out his podcast Queen of the Con, and his new one Cocaine Air. We talk about both in this episode. But his book, Anatomy of a Con Artist, is just dead on.Johnathan shares how he got conned out of nearly $100,000 by someone posing as an Irish heiress. He breaks down not only that story but others—showing how all these professional con artists use the same tricks. The red flags are universal.And honestly, I've felt conned before. Reading this book really opened my eyes. The stories are incredible, and Johnathan's a fantastic storyteller.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we embark on a thrilling journey through the cosmos, exploring the potential for life on Mars, a remarkable discovery in the outer solar system, and the crucial mapping of sulfur throughout our galaxy.Searching for Life on MarsA new study reveals that thick layers of clay on Mars could indicate stable environments conducive to life billions of years ago. Researchers have identified that these clay deposits likely formed in standing bodies of water, providing the right conditions for chemical weathering and potentially supporting ancient life. The findings suggest that the balance between water and carbon cycles on Mars may explain the planet's geological history and the absence of carbonate rocks. Lead author Rhianna Moore discusses how these stable terrains could have fostered habitable conditions for extended periods, offering insights into the Red Planet's wet past.Discovery of 2020 VN40: A Distant Cosmic CompanionAstronomers have discovered a rare celestial body, 2020 VN40, located far beyond Neptune, moving in perfect synchronicity with the ice giant. This trans-Neptunian object orbits the sun once for every ten orbits Neptune completes, providing new insights into the dynamics of the outer solar system. The discovery, reported in the Planetary Science journal, enhances our understanding of how distant objects interact with Neptune's gravity and offers clues about the solar system's evolution.Mapping Sulfur in the Milky WayA groundbreaking study has mapped the distribution of sulfur across the Milky Way, an essential element for life. Utilizing the CRISM X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy mission, scientists have directly measured sulfur in both its gaseous and solid forms within the interstellar medium. The findings shed light on sulfur's role in the cosmos and its potential implications for understanding life's distribution throughout the galaxy. This research marks a significant step in answering fundamental questions about the building blocks of life in the universe.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Planetary Science Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2632-3338CRISM Missionhttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/asteroids/overview/crism.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

Chris and Frederick tackle the often-overlooked elements of homeowners insurance and unravel the critical components that can lead to financial security in the face of disasters. Through engaging dialogue, they underline the importance of seeking expertise in the insurance industry and avoiding the pitfall of being attracted solely by the price of policies. Key Takeaways: Understanding the intricacies of claims made insurance is crucial to avoid costly mistakes and ensure comprehensive coverage. Transparency and honest disclosure on insurance applications are critical to prevent fraud accusations and resulting claim denials. The order taker standard limits the responsibility of insurance agents, making it essential for consumers to engage with knowledgeable brokers. Entrepreneurs should consider management liability insurance to protect against personal liability incidents stemming from business decisions. Homeowners and condo owners must review their coverage limits diligently, including potential code upgrades that can lead to increased costs during rebuilding. Notable Quotes: "Everybody hates [insurance], everybody hates buying it, everybody hates dealing with it." "Insurance is the last thing. It's either milk or insurance. Come on. We know where that's going." "Take buying insurance seriously and don't use your brother-in-law as your broker unless he's a specialist in it." "You can't say, ‘I want the best coverage'… what does that mean? Quality of the coverage? The price of the coverage?" "It's intentional. I'm telling you right now… insurance companies are out to screw you."

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Barack Obama orchestrated the Russia collusion hoax and his role was never questioned, nor was he investigated. Obama was the mob boss in the key December 16, 2016, meeting where Obama directed a new intelligence assessment falsely claiming heavy Russian involvement to aid Trump, despite prior assessments showing minimal, ineffective interference without Trump ties. There needs to be direct questioning of Obama under oath, without a special counsel, using Gabbard's documents, and re-questioning figures like John Brennan, James Clapper, Loretta Lynch, and James Comey about Obama's involvement. Also, Hamas is intentionally starving Gazan civilians to maintain power and manipulate international perceptions. The United Nations and European Union are enabling this strategy by channeling aid through Hamas-controlled mechanisms, despite knowing the group diverts resources.  Afterward, there's a fundamental rift in values and morals between those who champion limited government and individual sovereignty, and those who embrace an all-powerful state. It's the battle between positive power—rooted in defending institutions, the Constitution, separation of powers, and personal freedoms—and negative power, where the ends justify any means, leading to rampant abuses. In addition, there are new details coming out after Bryan Kohberger's sentencing. People are never going to understand why there was a deal cut for him.  When you are dealing w evil - the motivation is the act itself. Later, Mark Levin remembers the life of Ed Feulner and Hulk Hogan.
