X: @RepFine @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with U.S. Congressman Randy Fine, member of the House Foreign Relations Committee and the Education and Workforce Committee. He is one of the most effective communicators in Congress in advancing our shared values and principles. A third-generation Floridian, Randy built a career as a successful entrepreneur, founding and running businesses in retail, technology, and hospitality. He has been an active Boy Scout volunteer, serving as both Cubmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster. The son of two public school teachers, Randy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College with a degree in government and later earned his MBA from Harvard Business School, where he graduated with high distinction as one of the youngest Baker Scholars in decades. Congressman Fine also serves as a member of the Freedom Caucus, Republican Study Committee and the Judea and Samaria Caucus. The conversation will explore practical and principled approaches to reducing the cost of housing and healthcare, as well as the critical importance of election integrity, with a strong majority of Americans supporting voter identification requirements, according to Pew Research. Recent studies cited by the White House suggest a correlation between the deportation of individuals residing in the United States illegally and declining housing costs in several major metropolitan areas. The Trump administration noted that "14 of the top 20 U.S. metro areas with the largest undocumented migrant populations experienced year-over-year declines in home listing prices." The discussion also highlights historical immigration enforcement trends. According to published reports, the administration of President Barack Obama formally removed approximately 3 million noncitizens from the United States during his time in office. The program will also examine growing concerns over Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and discuss strategies to prevent the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism from threatening global security and holding the free world hostage. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @RepFine @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Thanda Sithole, FNB & WesBank Senior Economist, about South Africa’s modest 0.5% GDP growth in the first quarter, unpacking the resilience in finance and agriculture, the drag from manufacturing and declining fixed investment, and what the mixed signals in consumer spending, exports, and inventories mean for the country’s economic outlook. In other interviews, Luyanda Njilo, Senior Equity research analyst for healthcare at Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking talks about a growing challenge facing South Africa’s medical aid industry: the decline in younger members. Medical schemes rely on younger, healthier members to help subsidise the healthcare costs of older beneficiaries, but that balance is increasingly under strain as fewer young adults join or remain on medical aid.

The fired-up denizens of UFO World loudly and consistently call for UAP insiders to step forward. "Spill everything," they demand. "No one would dare mess with you." Such bravado is easy to make for observers who have no skin in the game and for whom UFO disclosure is a spectator sport viewed from the comfort and safety of a home laptop. But for actual whistleblowers and UAP witnesses, reality is much different. Those few insiders who've had the courage to step forward with UAP information know all too well the costs of transparency. Their lives are upended. They are subject to invasive surveillance, outrageous break-ins, legal threats and intimidation, and soul-crushing financial struggles caused by seemingly permanent unemployment. In this episode, recorded on stage at Contact in the Desert, the world's largest UFO-themed gathering, George and Jeremy hear the firsthand, real-life, deeply personal experiences of those who came forward with UAP information to tell what they know—and the price they are still paying. Dylan Borland, a UAP witness and whistleblower, has been unemployed and threatened with treason charges since testifying before Congress in 2025. Matthew Brown, who revealed the existence of a deeply classified effort known as Immaculate Constellation, has had his personal and financial life gutted and reveals a plan to help future witnesses. Senior Chief Alex Wiggins, who also testified before Congress in 2025 about an encounter between a U.S. Navy warship and four Tic Tac objects, has received threats and intimidation from a UAP agency invoking the Secretary of War. What can be done to actually help future whistleblowers and witnesses? The panel has solid ideas about how to move forward. GOT A TIP?

Taipei Zoo marks World Parrot Day, The Taipei Zoo has marked World Parrot Day with a special educational event featuring a sulphur-crested cockatoo. The zoo used the occasion to urge the public not to abandon pet parrots and to reject the illegal wildlife trade. According to the zoo, parrots are popular companion animals because of their colorful plumage (全身羽毛), ability to mimic sounds and strong learning skills, but demand from the pet market has also fueled illegal capture and trade, threatening wild populations. To raise public awareness, the zoo held a pop-up educational session in the Children's area, with a sulphur-crested cockatoo serving as a "teaching assistant" to help visitors learn about parrot behavior and social habits. Israeli Forces Kill Palestinian Man at West Bank Barrier Israeli forces have shot and killed a Palestinian man at a barrier (障礙物) separating the West Bank from Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The man, 26 years old, was shot in the thigh on Sunday and later died at a hospital in Ramallah. He was attempting to cross into Israel for work due to an economic crisis in the West Bank. Many Palestinians have tried to enter Israel illegally for jobs, especially after access was restricted following the war in Gaza. Unemployment has surged and many have been killed or arrested. US Detention Center Curfew After ICE Clashes From the US…. Newark's mayor has a curfew (宵禁) around an immigration detention center in New Jersey after clashes between protesters and ICE. AP correspondent Julie Walker reports Colombia Presidential Election Results Contested Iván Cepeda has refused to immediately accept the result of the first round of voting in Colombia's presidential election, after falling behind tough-on-crime outsider Aberaldo de la Espriella. Cepeda and de la Espriella are slated to head to a run-off election June. But Cepeda is now claiming without evidence that foreign actors (參與者、行動者) manipulated the results of the election. Cepeda said he was waiting for electoral authorities to scrutinise the results before accepting the election. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

There are fears unemployment levels will rise due to the increased cost pressures on small businesses in Clare. The latest SME business sentiment survey from Chartered Accoutants Ireland and GRID Finance has found that 84% of SMEs are reporting an increase in business costs. Additionally, the survey reveals that 71% of small and medium enterprises are less optimistic about the economic environment than they were six months ago, up from 51% last October. ISME council member and managing director of Aillwee Burren Experience, Nuala Mulqueeney, believes jobs will be lost if businesses continue to feel the squeeze.

A landmark report has warned that the UK risks a ‘lost generation' of young people, as new figures show that more than 1 million 16- to 24-year-olds in the UK were not in education, employment or training. The former Labour cabinet minister Alan Milburn said youth disengagement was a mounting economic risk to the country, and urged a fundamental reset of policy covering schools, the health service and the welfare state.

Former Gov. Jim Gilmore stops by the show for his weekly visit and talks about Virginia overpaying unemployment claims.

Virginia has overpaid unemployment claims by over $300 million over the last 5 years. Do we need more oversight?

This week on Economic Update, Professor Wolff briefly discusses two current large strikes by workers fighting back: the British Columbia nurses in Canada and the commuter rail workers in New York (LIRR). The rest of today's episode is an analysis of the 7.4 million Americans who are unemployed today, the causes and effects of that unemployment, the irrationality of that unemployment, and the current failed "policies" to deal with it.

Pennsylvania's unemployment rate held steady during the month of April. The jobs numbers show record highs in some industries.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is considering adding a new ingredient to sunscreen products for the first time since 1999. Dermatologists are hopeful the new ingredient could expand options for sun protection. A new report released by the state Insurance Department could offer lawmakers a path forward to help struggling pharmacies. Twenty-six Pennsylvania high schools are receiving state grants to strengthen the pipeline of special education teachers. Pennsylvania will have a new state librarian later this week, beginning May 30th. And a deeper dive: Grocery stores typically have shopping carts that can fit a toddler, or even shopping carts that look like race cars where small kids can ride along. There are also motorized scooters for people with mobility issues. But there's also another type of shopping cart, one that advocates for people with disabilities say should be more widely available. 

Well, that Official Cash Rate decision is probably one of those moments where you find out whether you're a glass half-full or glass half-empty person. Because on the bright side, the Official Cash Rate didn't go up. On the downside, it looks like it's definitely going up next time. So yes, it's a reprieve - but it's only a reprieve for six weeks, excuse me, before the screws on the economy start turning again. Thanks to the new transparency rules at the Reserve Bank - which, frankly, we should all love - we know that the committee voted and it was split right down the middle. Three members of the committee wanted the OCR to stay at 2.25 percent. Three of them voted for it to be raised by 25 basis points immediately to calm down inflation pressures. But Anna Breman, who is the governor, has a casting vote. She said it needs to stay, so it stays put. But they didn't hide the fact that it is going to go up sooner than they had thought just three months ago. And it will go up by more than they thought just three months ago. Much of it appears to hinge on what businesses do with prices from here on in. Because what the Iran war is doing to prices is so widespread - and so many prices are going up, from fuel to fertiliser to food - that it runs a higher risk that businesses start jacking up more prices in a second round of increases. And that is what they're worried about at the Reserve Bank. So economists are now calling for three hikes in quick succession from here: July, September and October. Now, there are two problems with that. The first: all three hikes are before the election in November. National, especially, should be sweating, because poorer voters are not happier voters - they are voters who turn to New Zealand First. The second problem - and this is probably the biggest of them all - is what this is going to do to our recovery, our economic recovery. We are probably in negative growth this quarter. Next quarter is probably not that flash but at least positive. Entire sectors, like construction, are still struggling to get back on their feet. Unemployment is still in the fives. The Iran war is still pushing up fuel prices and therefore pushing up the price of everything. So, glass half full: at least we get another six weeks before the screws start turning. Glass half empty: when they tighten, they will be tightening fast on an economy that doesn't need that kind of pressure. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!In this special reaction episode, Nick Goodall and Kelvin Davidson unpack the latest RBNZ OCR decision. The rate was held, but only just. The vote was split 3–3, with the Governor casting the deciding vote. This highlights how finely balanced the outlook is.The key message is that rate rises are likely coming. The OCR track has been revised higher. An increase as soon as July now looks probable. Some committee members wanted to hike now. Their view was to act early to limit future inflation risks.Inflation forecasts have been lifted. Headline inflation is expected to rise above 4% in the near term. This is driven by fuel and import costs. Core inflation is easing, however, and longer-term expectations remain stable. This creates uncertainty around how aggressive the RBNZ needs to be.Growth has been downgraded. The recovery is expected to be slower. Unemployment is set to stay elevated for the next 12–18 months.The housing market outlook is weak. House prices are expected to be flat or slightly down. Sales volumes also look subdued. Mortgage rates may rise further, although much has already been priced in.Overall, the OCR is on hold for now. But the balance has shifted. Future increases look increasingly likely.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email ngoodall@cotality.com or kdavidson@cotality.comThis podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.

Since the start of the president's second term, the Trump administration has vowed to cut the waste, fraud, and abuse in government. This past week, Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling sat down with Fox Business' Connor Hansen to discuss how his department is taking part in that effort. He explained how they're cracking down on unemployment insurance fraud and other schemes that have cost taxpayers billions. He also discussed the money they have already frozen, and how much of the fraud is carried out by criminal networks linked to China, North Korea, and other foreign actors. You may have seen some of what Sonderling had to say during Connor's reporting on the Fox Business Network... but he had a lot more to say about combatting fraud. He even shared some incredible examples of how people are stealing taxpayers' money. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

For over four decades, former members of the Word of Faith Fellowship have tried to hold the church accountable through every available channel — journalists, law enforcement, social services, federal prosecutors, the courts. According to those who lived it, the system failed at every turn. Jane Whaley's 2004 assault conviction was overturned after five years of appeals. More than forty former members gave testimony to the SBI in the 1990s. No charges resulted. Inside Edition investigated in 1995. The church survived. DSS opened child abuse investigations. The church sued the department and won. Former members told the AP that the church orchestrated a cover-up strategy in which congregants were pressured into lying to investigators and recanting prior statements. Church leaders and followers reportedly gave at least eighty-five thousand dollars to state politicians, according to WRAL's analysis. Members volunteered at campaign events for Donald Trump, according to the New York Times. The local Republican Party in Rutherford County was allegedly taken over by people connected to the fellowship. Matthew Fenner's criminal case stalled for over eight years following a 2017 mistrial. A special prosecutor took over the case in 2026. The only convictions secured: unemployment fraud. Tony Brueski closes a five-part investigation with the systems that were supposed to protect victims — and reportedly failed them for more than forty years.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

At commencement after commencement this month, the class of 2026 — the AI-native graduates — have been booing speakers who frame AI as the next industrial revolution. UCF. Middle Tennessee State. University of Arizona, where former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was met with sustained dissent. These graduates use AI more than any cohort in history. And they are angry.Unemployment for 20-to-24-year-olds is 7.6 percent. Overall unemployment is 4.3 percent. The class graduating this month is entering a labor market visibly worse for them than for everyone else. The 50-year-old executive on stage is telling them the rope they're being told to climb is good for them. They aren't a generation that doesn't get it. They're a generation that gets it first.At Glendale Community College in Phoenix, an AI announcer was assigned to read the graduates' names — the single ceremonial moment of a four-year debt-funded ritual. It mispronounced names. It skipped names. Then the administration explained the AI system had done that. That's not an edge case. That's every AI deployment going forward. Vendor sells it, institution buys it, user gets the harm, explanation is "the model did that."The class of 2026 didn't become anti-AI. They became anti-being-lied-to about AI.Eric Schmidt funded a meaningful slice of the industry. He gets in front of 22-year-olds and tells them the future is bright. They boo him not because they don't know the topic, but because they've spent their senior thesis arguing about exactly what he's selling. The expert pitches novelty. The audience has already lived through it. The trust direction reversed in real time, on stage, in cap and gown.Every generation gets one issue where they later look back and say we were lied to about that. Boomers got Vietnam. Gen X got the savings and loan crisis. Millennials got 2008. The class of 2026 is going to get AI — and the lie is the speech that pretends the technology is the question instead of the distribution. The boos aren't against the tool. They're against the speech that pretends the tool is the story. This is the first cohort in a long time that may be impossible to sell to. That's the best news in this entire arc.⏱️ Chapters0:00 — The class of 2026 booed AI-pumping commencement speakers0:30 — MiniDoge: 7.6% young unemployment; they get it first1:00 — Nyx: the Glendale AI announcer disaster is the texture of every deployment1:35 — HH: the class that uses AI most is the class booing loudest1:50 — Saarvis: Eric Schmidt and the inverted trust gradient2:20 — Saarvis: every generation gets their lie; the boos aren't against the tool⚡ Learn agentic ai free - https://staas.fund/ai-workshop ⚡-----

A fiery clash erupts between former Cabinet Office Chief Economist Jonathan Portes and Martin Daubney over the true economic impact of migration in the UK. As official figures reveal that just under 1.2 million migrants are currently unemployed or out of work, the debate quickly intensifies over whether immigration remains a genuine net benefit to the British economy.

Our guest on this week's episode is Patrick Van den Bossche, partner at Kearney, a global management consulting firm. There has been a huge effort in recent years to return manufacturing to the United States, as much of this production has been outsourced to overseas factories for decades. But have these attempts been successful?

But we do hear of the downside of the many jobs AI may eliminate. Ben Ames reports on new research that shows which types of jobs are most vulnerable and the areas of the world that might be most affected (Hint: the U.S. is high on the vulnerablity list).There is a wealth of data in trucking today, much of it derived from the telematics and other advanced technology tools that connect what's happening in the truck to a company's broader IT system.

Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry, B-Dog Brandon Harper, and Rob Jenners break down everything happening in the 2025 playoffs — and there's a LOT to get into on Episode 259.   The Thunder are rolling. OKC swept the Lakers to go 8-0 in the playoffs so far, doing it without Jalen Williams and doing it in convincing fashion. Big Shot Bob gives his honest take on LA's future — including whether Austin Reaves deserves $250 million, what LeBron's exit interview really signals, and why the Lakers keep running into the same wall every spring.   Then the guys get into Victor Wembanyama's elbow on Naz Reid — Rob makes the case he should've been suspended, and breaks down exactly why the NBA's handling of it sets a bad precedent. Should the league have at least hit him with a fine? Everyone agrees on that one. We also dig into what NOT suspending Wemby says about how the NBA protects its stars, and whether that chips away at what's fair for everyone else on the floor.   In the East, the Knicks swept the Sixers out — 25 threes, a 30-point blowout, and Knicks fans completely taking over Philly's arena. The boys break down what that team is actually capable of, and size up whoever's coming out of the Pistons-Cavs series to face them. Spoiler: neither team looks ready.   Plus: the Washington Wizards win the draft lottery, Draymond takes a shot at Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA (and the guys have some thoughts on that), Steve Kerr's Warriors extension, Jaylen Brown's $50K fine for calling out Joel Embiid on Twitch, and the Big Shout of the Week goes to a 73-year-old music teacher from England who remortgaged his house to save his neighborhood pub.   We close it out with this week's game — All-Time Playoff Runs — testing Big Shot Bob on some of the best postseason win streaks in NBA history. Does he know the Warriors' 2017 run better than he thinks? Let's find out.   Subscribe and leave us a review wherever you listen.

“I suggest that while we keep defense and victory in the forefront, that we don't lose sight of our fight for true democracy at home.” This is the story of life on the American home front.  While millions of brave men and women are sacrificing life and limb “over there,” those left behind are making sacrifices of their own—heeding the call to grow gardens in their backyards or on community lots, combing their homes for spare scrap metal and rubber, rationing so there's enough to go ‘round, and buying up war bonds.  The economy changes drastically; for one thing, the Great Depression is definitely over. Unemployment drops to just about nil as millions join the military or the workforce. Small towns swell with floods of people following industrial government contracts, and women and teenagers take on new roles to fill critical gaps.  And yet, though every American is asked to make these sacrifices to win the war, not even close to every American receives the same protections and benefits from wartime contracts and legislation. Black Americans, still stifled by Jim Crow, fight for a Double Victory—against the Axis powers, and against prejudice back home. The “Good War” is not an evenly distributed burden by any means, but all in all, the home front is pulling its weight in this war.  ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and preorder Prof. Jackson's new book go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

America is richer than ever. Unemployment is low. Wages are high. According to traditional metrics, the economy looks strong. So why are Americans feeling so bad? Today, Derek talks with bestselling author Morgan Housel and journalist David Wallace-Wells about what Derek calls the “Tragic Twenties”: the strange and sudden collapse in American happiness that began during COVID and never really stopped. What's behind the country's emotional downturn? Inflation and the lingering psychological effects of the pandemic are certainly part of the story. But so are collapsing trust in institutions, rising social isolation, the negativity feedback loop of social media, and the feeling that we're living through one crisis after another. Derek, Morgan, and David unpack why the wealthiest society in history still feels deeply adrift and what this happiness recession says about the future of American life.

This morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released fresh jobs data for April. Unemployment remained unchanged at 4.3%, and the overall economy added 115,000 new jobs. A warmer-than-average April resulted in strong seasonal hiring, though it may be too early to see drags from war and high gas prices. Then later, we'll check in with the owner of a Virginia tea shop, who — like many small business owners — has been buffeted around by changing tariff policy.
