Taiwanese Resilience and Japan's New Conservative Leader Guest: Scott Harold Scott Harold discusses Taiwan's resilience, rooted in its democratic rule of law and high societal trust, which China attempts to undermine. Taiwanese self-identity is deepening, particularly among younger generations. However, concerns exist in Taipei that the US administration's "Fortress America" focus is inducing doubt about Washington's commitment to Taiwan's defense, a doubt China exploits. Harold also covers the historic rise of Takaichi Sanae as the LDP head in Japan, positioning her to become the first female Prime Minister. Takaichi is a conservative acolyte of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo who emphasized increased defense spending to enhance the US-Japan alliance. Her selection was seen as an effort to bring conservative votes back to the LDP, responding to growing political frustration and capitalizing on sentiment against an influx of foreigners.  1935 TAIWAN UNDER JAPAN

This last Supreme Court term was harrowing—from momentous merits decisions about the First Amendment, parental rights, trans rights and more, to the stream of shocking “shadow docket” decisions and its enabling of many of the Trump administration's executive actions. What does the 2025-2026 term have in store for our nation? What do we think will advance through the Court? What do we think will come up, when it comes to the shadow docket? And perhaps most importantly, how will the Court choose to mediate the Trump administration's continued onslaught of executive actions?Helping us to sort out these questions and set the record straight is our very special guest, Steve Vladeck: Steve Vladeck is a professor of law at the Georgetown University Law Center, and a nationally recognized expert on the federal courts; the Supreme Court; national security law; and military justice. Vladeck is CNN's Supreme Court analyst and editor and author of “One First,” a popular weekly newsletter about the Supreme Court.

What happens when law firms give in to political pressure? In this clip from See You In Court, our guests explain why capitulating to the administration undermines the independence of the legal profession — and how clients are noticing. Some firms have lost clients who asked, “If you won't stand up for yourself, how can I expect you to fight for me?” Others have gained respect and trust by standing firm. This conversation is part of our full episode:

The Constitution gives states and Congress the power to run elections, and the president has virtually no role in the process. Yet President Trump ignored this fact and issued an executive order in March that aims to overhaul the nation's election systems. His administration is dismantling a federal agency responsible for protecting election security. And it has targeted and threatened election officials and others who keep elections free and fair, while supporting those who undermine elections, including the January 6 rioters.A new report from the Brennan Center connects the dots between these unprecedented, and in some cases illegal, moves. Listen to host Michael Waldman, President and CEO of the Brennan Center discuss the report's findings with Sean Morales-Doyle, Director, Voting Rights and Elections Program and Jasleen Singh, Counsel, Voting Rights and Elections Program.If you enjoy this program, please give us a boost by liking it, subscribing, and sharing it with your friends.

Unconscious bias remains one of the most underestimated risks in recruiting and leadership. From names, photos, and accents to education, hobbies, or postcodes—decisions are often shaped by hidden assumptions rather than objective criteria. The result? Costly mis-hires, damaged employer brands, and leadership teams that replicate their own blind spots instead of building true diversity and strength. In this episode, Niels Brabandt, Founder of NB Networks and international leadership expert, analyses how unconscious bias infiltrates decision-making, why it weakens business performance, and what leaders must do to overcome it. Drawing on real cases, research insights, and decades of executive training experience, he explains why awareness and professional training are critical for sustainable leadership. This episode offers concrete, strategic insights for executives, HR leaders, and decision makers who want to attract the right talent, strengthen their organisations, and avoid the reputational damage of biased practices.

About this episode: The FDA has long convened scientifically rigorous advisory committees to review data and offer recommendations for regulating a range of food and drug products. However, it has recently pulled back and leaned heavily into ad-hoc “expert panels” that are not held to the same standards. In this episode: Caleb Alexander, an epidemiologist and drug safety expert who has served on over a dozen FDA advisory committees, raises concerns about the lack of transparency and accountability in these new panels and suggests that their lax standards might undermine the agency's credibility. Guest: Dr. G. Caleb Alexander, MS, is a practicing internist and drug safety expert at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Host: Lindsay Smith Rogers, MA, is the producer of the Public Health On Call podcast, an editor for Expert Insights, and the director of content strategy for the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Send us a textIn this episode, the boys present another of their popular Dynamite Conspiracies episodes, where they discuss whether the USA isn't being an ally, but is instead looking to destroy the EU. Is this true? Or just a conspiracy?Conspiracy theory: The US is trying to onshore European industry and wealth because they see that Europe is a doomed society.Surprisingly, there's more evidence supporting this theory than I expected.The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)It offers massive subsidies for companies that relocate to the U.S.Deindustrialisation via Energy SabotageThe sabotage of Nord Stream cut off Europe's access to cheap Russian gas. That devastated German manufacturing competitiveness.War in Ukraine as a European Wealth DrainThe U.S. sends military aid (paid in IOUs and manufactured gear), while Europe bleeds its industrial base, drains its budgets, and absorbs millions of refugees.Brain Drain and Capital FlightYoung, talented Europeans are migrating to the U.S. (and not just for sunshine).America's Narrative ControlU.S. media and think tanks push narratives that Europe is irrelevant or weak.In a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on February 7, 2022, Biden declared that if Russia invaded Ukraine, "there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it". - Is this an admission of US guilt?The comparison between the Marshall Plan and China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is complex, with significant differences in scale, financing, and intent. The Marshall Plan, which provided over $13 billion in aid (equivalent to over $150 billion today) to rebuild Western Europe after World War II, was primarily funded through grants and loans with a focus on economic recovery and political stability. The BRI is a vast infrastructure project funded largely through loans and foreign direct investment, with a focus on connectivity across Asia, Africa, and Europe.Estimates suggest China has invested more than $210 billion in BRI projects, with Chinese firms securing over $340 billion in construction contracts.Some analysts have noted that the scale of the BRI is significantly larger than the Marshall Plan, with one comparison suggesting the BRI was "one-twelfth the size of what is being contemplated in the One Belt, One Road initiative" relative to the Marshall Plan.But what are your thoughts on this topic?Do you agree with Tony and Tayo on this?Or do you have other thoughts?Links used during the show:-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nord_Stream_pipelines_sabotage-https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-018-0077-9Tune in and listen to the discussion.

You know those moments that make you pause and think, “Wait, am I being ridiculous right now?” You feel off, but you can't quite explain why. The conversation wasn't overtly mean. You weren't screamed at. But still… something felt wrong. Well, you might be experiencing micro-gaslighting. We already know that gaslighting is a form of emotional manipulation meant to distort your sense of reality. But micro-gaslighting is sneakier. It hides behind sarcasm, “jokes,” and well-meaning comments that, over time, make you question yourself in small, cumulative ways. Today we'll discuss the differences between gaslighting and micro-gaslighting, why it happens, whether you might be doing it yourself and, as always, my top six action steps to move forward.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/micro-gaslighting-the-tiny-cuts-that-undermine-you Get the Relationship Inventory: Emotional Safety Check-In Worksheet: https://abbymedcalf.com/relationship-inventoryLearn how to create and hold healthy, loving boundaries with my book Boundaries Made Easy: Your Roadmap to Connection, Ease and Joy https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries or The Workbook: Boundaries Made Easier https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries-workbook Want to feel happier and more connected in your relationship?

Steve Gruber talks with Mike Rogers. Army veteran, businessman, former FBI Special Agent who took down organized crime in Chicago, and former U.S. Representative from Michigan who chaired the House Intelligence Committee, about the sweeping impact of the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Rogers explains how the bill cuts taxes for hardworking families, boosts national security, and delivers on major promises like bringing fighter jets to Selfridge, restoring Michigan's role as the arsenal of democracy. They also dig into explosive revelations about how top figures in the CIA, FBI, and other leadership roles allegedly conspired to undermine Donald Trump—what it means for public trust, and where accountability must start.

This fiery monologue exposes claims that Democrats illegally leaked classified intelligence about U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear program—selectively releasing information to make Trump's mission look ineffective. The hosts argue this leak amounted to aiding Iranian propaganda, as the Ayatollah echoed the same talking points within hours. The discussion goes further, connecting Iran's funding of antisemitic street protests, the rise of radical candidates, and the Democrats' alleged willingness to weaken America's security for political gain. With calls for prosecution, accusations of treason, and warnings about the merging interests of Iran and the Democratic Party, the broadcast lays bare the deepening divisions over foreign policy, national security, and the integrity of U.S. leadership.

In this explosive broadcast, the hosts dissect the Democrats' illegal leak of low-confidence intelligence—sourced from Iranian propaganda agents—to CNN in an effort to discredit Trump's strikes on Iran's nuclear program. They argue this leak wasn't just reckless but criminal, accusing Democrats of collusion with America's adversaries to manipulate public opinion. The conversation explores how the media ran misleading headlines without context, how the intelligence community codes the reliability of reports, and why this strategy backfired in the modern information landscape. As the hosts note, rapid fact-checking and uncensored platforms are exposing the coordinated attempts to mislead voters—and changing the game for good.

Concerns about China's espionage campaign against the United States are growing. Most recently, China has faced scrutiny following the arrest of three Chinese nationals, including one who attempted to smuggle illegal biological materials, potentially harmful to crops, into the U.S. from a university in Wuhan, China. This has sparked fears about agroterrorism. Earlier this week, Jim Lewis, a former diplomat and senior advisor at the Center for International Studies (CIS), joined host Dave Anthony to discuss China's threat to the United States and how it is targeting America on multiple fronts. He described the troubling size and scope of their espionage campaign against the U.S. and how they are using student spies, AI, surveillance, and many other tactics to undermine America. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with former diplomat Jim Lewis, allowing you to learn more about China's tactics against the U.S. These adjustments aim to enhance readability and ensure grammatical consistency.
