Transcript of the Interview: Israel's shadow war with the Iranian regime, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, erupted into open conflict last week following a stunning report from the International Atomic Energy Agency that confirmed Iran was much closer to obtaining nuclear weapons than previously known. Since Israel launched a wave of attacks on nuclear sites and facilities, Iran has fired missiles toward Israel's most populated cities. Joining us to discuss what this all means is one of the foremost experts on Iran and its global threats, and a regular guest when trouble arises with Iran. Dr. Matthew Levitt, director of the Reinhard Counterterrorism Program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.  Matt, welcome back to People of the Pod. Matthew Levitt:   It's a pleasure to be back, but I need to come sometime when the world's okay.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   That would be nice. That'd be nice. But what will we talk about? Matthew Levitt:   Yeah, just call me one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Well, you are one of the foremost experts on the dangers posed by Iran, especially its terror proxies. And you've written the definitive book on Hezbollah, titled Hezbollah: the Global Footprint of Lebanon's Party of God. And I say that whole title, I want to get in there, because we are talking about global threats here.  Can you explain the scale of Iran's global threat and the critical role that its terror proxies, like Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, play in advancing that strategy? Matthew Levitt:   So I really appreciate the question, because it's really important to remind listeners that the Israel Iran war did not start Thursday night US time, Friday morning, Israel time. In fact, it's just the latest salvo where the Israelis, after years and years and years of Iranian we call it malign activity, but that's too soft a term. We're talking about Iran sending weapons and funds to proxies like Hamas to carry out October 7, like Hezbollah to fire rockets at Israel almost daily for almost a year. Like the Houthis, who were much more than a thorn in the Saudi backside until the Iranians came and gave them more sophisticated capabilities.  We're talking about an Iran that a few years ago decided that instead of making sure that every gun that it sent to the West Bank had to go to Hamas or Islamic Jihad. They decided to just flood the West Bank with guns. Who cares who's shooting at the Israelis so long as somebody is. And an Iran that not only carries out human rights abuses of all kinds at home, but that threatens Israel and its neighbors with drones, low altitude cruise missiles, short range ballistic missiles, and medium and long range ballistic missiles.  And so the totality of this, much like the totality of Hezbollah's striking Israel for almost a year, ultimately led Israel to do what most people thought couldn't be done, and just tear Hezbollah apart, that the Israel war on Hezbollah is the prequel to what we've been seeing over the past few days in Iran. Similarly, for the Israelis, it got to be too much. It wasn't even really that President Trump's 60 days expired and Israel attacked on day 61. It wasn't only that the IAEA came out with a report saying that the Iranians have refused to explain certain activities that can only be explained as nuclear weaponization activities.  It was that the Israelis had information that two things were happening. One, that Iran was working very, very hard to rebuild its capability to manufacture medium, long range ballistic missiles that can hit Israel. After the Israeli reprisal attack last October took out a key component of that program, the mixers that are important for the solid propellant, without which you can't make ballistic missiles. And Iran is believed to have, at least the beginning of this recent round of the conflict –Thursday, Friday–about 2000 such missiles. Far fewer now, the Israelis say they've taken out about a third of them, plus launchers, plus radars, et cetera. But that Iran had a plan within just a few years to develop as many as 8000 of these. And that simply was not tolerable for the Israelis.  And the second is that the Israelis say that they compiled evidence that Iran had a secret, secret nuclear weapons program that had been going on predating October 7, but was fast tracked after October 7, that they were planning to maintain this program, even as they were negotiating over the more overt program with the Trump administration. President Trump has even taken issue with his own Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who testified in March that the US intelligence committee does not assess that Iran is weaponizing. And President says, I don't care what she says, I think they were very close to weaponizing.  The Israelis say they have shared this information at least recently with their US counterparts and that was not tolerable. So the primary goals that Israel has set out for itself with this campaign is beyond the critically important shattering the glass ceiling. Think where people in particular, in Iran thought this would never happen, was two things, one, addressing and significantly degrading and setting back the Iranian ballistic missile production program, and second, doing the same to the nuclear program. They've already carried out strikes at Isfahan, Natanz, even at the upper parts of Fordow. And there is an expectation that the Israelis are going to do something more. The Israeli national security advisor said on Israeli television today, We are not going to stop without addressing the nuclear activities at Fordow. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You know, you called it a prequel, Israel's operations against Hezbollah last year. Did you know that it was a prequel at the time and to what extent did it weaken Iran and leave it more vulnerable in this particular war? Matthew Levitt:   I'm going to be the last person in Washington, D.C. who tells you when he doesn't know. And anybody who tells you they did know is lying to you. None of us saw what Israel did to Hezbollah coming. None of us saw that and said, Oh, they did it to a non-state actor right across their border. So they'll definitely be able to do it to Iran, 1000+ kilometers away, big nation state with massive arsenals and a nuclear program and lots of proxies. One plus one does not equal three in this.  In other words, the fact that Israel developed mind boggling capabilities and incredible intelligence, dominance and then special tools, pagers and walkie talkies, in the case of Hezbollah, did not mean that they were going to be able to do the same vis a vis Iran. And they did. The same type of intelligence dominance, the same type of intelligence, knowing where somebody was at a certain time, that the protocols would be that certain leaders would get in a certain secret bunker once hostilities started, and they'd be able to take them out in that bunker. As they did to a bunch of senior Hezbollah commanders just months ago. Drone operations from within Iran, Iran being hit with missiles that were fired at Iran from within Iran, all of it. One case did not necessarily translate into the other. It is exponentially impressive. And Israel's enemies have to be saying, you know, that the Israelis are just all capable. Now you're absolutely right. You hit the nail on the head on one critical issue. For a very long time, Israel was at least somewhat deterred, I would say very deterred, from targeting Iran. Because Iran had made very, very clear if Israel or the United States or anybody else targeted Iran or its nuclear program, one of the first things that would happen would be that Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel, Iran's first, most important proxy would rain hellfire in Israel in the form of 1000s upon 1000s of rockets. Until Israel addressed the problem, Hezbollah is believed to have had 150 to 200,000 different types of projectiles, up to and including precision guided munitions.  Not only have the overwhelming majority of those been destroyed, Hezbollah still has 1000s of rockets, but Hezbollah leadership has been decimated. There's a new sheriff in town in Lebanon. There's a new government that immediately, when hostility started with Iran's, went to Hezbollah and said, You're not doing this, not dragging Lebanon back into a war that nobody wanted again. We are finally coming out of this economic crisis. And so Iran was faced with a situation where it didn't have Hezbollah to deter Israel.  Israel, you know, paved the way for a highway in the air to Iran, taking out air defense systems. It was able to fly over and through Syria. The Syrians are not shedding any tears as they see the Quds Force and the IRGC getting beaten down after what Iran did in Syria. And the Israelis have air dominance now. President Trump said, We, using the we term, air dominance now, earlier today. And they're able to slowly and methodically continue to target the ballistic missile program. Primarily, the medium and long range missiles that target Israel, but sometimes it's the same production lines that produce the short range missiles that Iran uses to target U.S. Forces in the region, and our allies in the Gulf. So Israel is not just protecting itself, it's protecting the region. And then also taking out key military security intelligence personnel, sometimes taking out one person, then a couple days later, taking out the person who succeeded that person, and then also taking out key scientists who had the know-how to potentially rebuild all the things that Israel is now destroying. Manya Brachear Pashman:   But Israel is also not hearing from the Houthis, is not hearing from Hamas. It's not hearing from other terror proxies either. Very few attacks from Iran's terror proxies in the aftermath of this wave. Why? Why do you think that is? Matthew Levitt:   The crickets are loud. The crickets are loud. Look, we've discussed Hezbollah. Hezbollah understands that if it were to do something, the Israelis will come in even harder and destroy what's left. Hamas is still holding hostages. This is still an open wound, but it doesn't have the capabilities that it once had, and so there have been a couple of short range things that they tried to shoot, but it's not anything that's going to do huge damage, and the Israeli systems can deal with those.  The Houthis did fire something, and it hurt some Palestinians near Hebron. You know, the Houthis and the Iranians in particular, in this conflict have killed Palestinians, and in one case, Syrians. They're continuing to hurt people that are not Israelis. One of the things that I think people are hopeful for is that as Iran tries to sue for peace, and it already is, it's been reaching out to Cyprus to pass messages, etcetera. The hope is that Iran will recognize that it's in a position whereby A) there has to be zero enrichment and the facilities have to be destroyed, whatever's left of them. And B) there's a hope that Israel and the United States together will be able to use this diplomatic moment to truly end the conflict in Gaza and get the hostages home. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Well, that was what I was going to ask. I mean, if Israel achieves its objectives in this war, primarily eliminating Iran's nuclear threat, how significant a setback would that be for Hamas and Iran's other terror proxies, and could it indeed pave the way for an end of the war in Gaza and the return of the hostages? Matthew Levitt:   Like everybody else, I'm so scarred, I don't want to get my hopes up, but I do see this as a distinct possibility, and here's why. Not Hezbollah, not the Houthis, not Hamas, none of them, and plenty of other proxies that don't start in the letter H, none of them could have been anywhere as capable as they've proven to be, were it not for Iranian money and weapons. Also some training, some intelligence, but primarily money and weapons.  And so Hamas is already on its back foot in this regard. It can still get some money in. It's still being able to make money off of humanitarian aid. Iran is still sending money in through money exchange houses and hawaladars, but not weapons. Their ability to manufacture weapons, their military industrial complex within Gaza, this is destroyed. Hezbollah, we've discussed, discussed, and a lot of their capabilities have been destroyed. And those that remain are largely deterred. The Houthis did shoot up some rockets, and the Israelis did carry out one significant retaliatory attack. But I think people are beginning to see the writing on the wall. The Israelis are kicking the stuffing out of Iran with pinprick attacks that are targeting the worst of the bad guys, including people who have carried out some of the worst human rights transgressions against Iranians. Let's not pretend that this is not affecting the average Iranian. It is. The president says, Everybody get out of Tehran. That's just not possible. People, average Iranians, good people. It must be just an absolute terror.  But Israel's not bombing, you know, apartment buildings, as Iran is doing in Israel, or as Russia is doing in Ukraine. And so it really is a different type of thing. And when the Houthis, when Hamas, when Hezbollah, look at this, you don't you don't poke the tiger when it's angry. I think they also understand now's the time to get into survival mode. What you want is for the regime in Iran not to be destroyed. This is no longer a moment, as it's been since long before October 7, but certainly since then, of how Iran as proxies, export Iran's revolution. This is now a question of how they maintain and preserve the revolution at home. And it's extremely important to the proxies that Iran remain, so that even if it's knocked down over time, hopefully, theoretically, from their perspective, it can regain its footing. It will still have, they hope, its oil and gas, etcetera, and they will get back to a point where they can continue to fund and arm the proxies in. Maybe even prioritize them as it takes them longer to rebuild their ballistic missile, drone, and nuclear programs. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Which is a scary prospect as well to know that terror proxies could be spread throughout the world and empowered even a little bit more. President Trump left the G7 summit a day early to meet with security advisors, and just a few hours ago, prior to this interview, President Trump called for Iran's, quote, unconditional surrender, saying that the US knows where the Supreme Leader is, and some other threatening language. But I mean, this appears to be a kind of a clear commitment to Israel. So I'm curious how you assess his administration's actions before and during the war thus far, and do you see the United States edging toward direct involvement? Matthew Levitt:   All politics is local, and there is a tug of war within the MAGA movement over whether or not the US should be getting involved. Not only in supporting an important ally, but in removing a critical threat. The President is clearly frustrated that Iran was not being more forthcoming in the negotiations. He said many times, we'd offered you a great deal, you should have taken the deal. He's very aware that his deadline ended, and they didn't particularly seem to care. There's also the background that once upon a time, they tried to assassinate him, I think, after the Israelis did what they did, the President appreciates capabilities. He appreciates success. He likes backing the winning horse. And so the New York Times is reporting that after getting off the phone with Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump reportedly turned to some aides and said, maybe we need to help him. Now it's not clear that's what's going to happen, and my understanding is that the Israelis have plans of their own for things like the heavily fortified facility at Fordow, which is the most important and highly fortified, protected of the nuclear installations. The Israeli National Security Advisor spoke today and said, you know, we're not going to be done until we do something with Fordow.  The United States can do multiple things only the United States has the MOP: the Massive Ordinance Penetrator, and the airplanes to deliver it, and they could end Fordow if they wanted. Short of that, they could do other things to support Israel. There's been defensive support for the State of Israel already, but there's other things they could do, refueling and other things if they wanted to. And at a minimum, I don't see the president restraining Israel at all. Now, I've heard some people say that so far, the President has fired nothing more than some social media postings, some of them even in all caps.  But the truth is, those do have an effect, and so long as Israel is not restrained. I think the Israelis went into this with a plan. That plan is not necessarily to entirely destroy the entire nuclear program, but if the ballistic missile program and the nuclear program are sufficiently degraded so that it will take them years and a tremendous amount of time and money to rebuild, knowing that Israel has broken the glass ceiling on this idea of targeting Iran, that if the Israelis feel they need to, they will come back. If the Iranians rebuild their air defense systems, the Israelis will address them and create a new highway going if they need to. I think the Israelis are making that clear. Knowing that it's going to be a little bit of a road for Iran, especially when it will have to deal with some domestic issues coming out of this.  Finally, the Israelis have started signaling there's other things they could do. The Israelis have not yet fully targeted oil and gas fields and facilities. For example, they had one set of attacks where they basically knocked at the front door of some of these facilities without walking in the house. That's signaling, and I think it's one of the reasons you're seeing Iran quietly trying to reach out for some type of a ceasefire. Other signaling, for example, is the Israelis deciding to fly all the way to Mashhad, which is in far eastern Iran, to take out an airplane. That airplane was not particularly important. It was the message. There is nowhere in Iran we can't go. It's not a question of distance, it's not a question of refueling, it's not a question of air defense systems. We can do what we need to do. And I think the Iranians understand that now. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So we talked about the commitment to Israel, and how clear, how important it is to clarify that commitment to Israel. How important is it to clarify the United States commitment to Arab partners in the Middle East to help defend them in other words, if this conflict escalates? Matthew Levitt:   This is critically important. You know, one of the individuals who was taken out, for example, was the person who was in charge of the drone attack on the Abqaiq oil facility in Saudi Arabia. If you look, for example, at the Saudi statement condemning the Israeli actions, it was issued by the Foreign Ministry without a single name attached to it. Wasn't issued by the Crown Prince, wasn't issued by the foreign minister. So I think you should expect a whole lot of public criticism. I imagine there's a different conversation going on behind closed doors. It's not necessarily, you know, pom-poming. This makes the Gulf states very, very nervous, in part because they understand that one way Iran could try and get out of this is to expand the conflict.  And that the reason they haven't is because, short of trying to prevent Iranians from taking to the streets and potentially doing something to maybe overthrow the regime, short of that, the number one thing that the Iranian regime is most desperate to avoid is getting the United States involved militarily. And I think the Iranians really understand and the messaging's been clear. If you target US Forces in the region, if you target our allies in the region, we'll get involved. If you don't, then we might not.  Now the President now is talking about potentially doing that, and as a lot of maybe this, maybe that, nothing very clear. I think what is clear is that the Israelis are going to continue doing what they need to do for another one to two weeks. Even going so far as doing something, though they haven't made clear what to address the really complicated problem of the fortified facility at Fordow. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So how important is it for global security if Israel is successful in eliminating the nuclear threat in Iran? Matthew Levitt:   Look, Iran has been the single most destabilizing factor in the region for a long time now. Imagine a region without a destabilizing revolutionary regime in Iran without a regime that is supporting Shia militants in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.  Imagine the Shia militias in Iraq suddenly without a funder and a patron, enabling the Shia government in Iraq to actually be able to take control of the country and establish a monopoly over the use of force. At a time when the Shia militias, because of Iran's backing, are becoming more dangerous and more powerful in Iraq.  Imagine the Lebanese government being able to be more forward leaning in their effort to establish a monopoly over the use of force in that country, reclaim bases that Hezbollah has used for all this time, and establish a new Lebanon that is not beholden to Iran and Hezbollah.  And imagine an Israeli-Palestinian situation where you didn't have Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as spoilers. Recall that October 7 happened in large part because Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran could not tolerate the prospect of Israeli-Saudi normalization. For most Palestinians, this was great news. The Saudis were demanding real dividends for the Palestinians from the Netanyahu government, which was likely going to do them. This was great for Palestinians, bad for Hamas.  Imagine Hamas no longer getting that support from Iran. Imagine Iran no longer able to send or being interested in sending millions upon millions of dollars to its proxies, and instead spending what money it has on helping its population, instead of cracking down on it with human rights violations. You could have a very, very different region, let alone imagine Iran no longer carrying out acts of terrorism, kidnapping plots, abduction plots of dissidents and Jews and Israelis and others around the world of the type that we've seen throughout Europe and throughout the Middle East and even in the United States over the past few years. Manya Brachear Pashman:   That's quite an imagination you have. But I take your point. Let me ask you this then. Did you ever imagine that Israel would take this dramatic step?  Matthew Levitt:   What the Israelis have achieved, when you are so against the wall and you're forced to come up with solutions, because it's a matter of life or death – you make the impossible possible. And I think that perhaps the Iranians assumed that the Israeli post-October 7 doctrine applied to non-state actors only. And that doctrine is very simple. Israel will no longer allow adversaries who are openly committed to its destruction to build up weapons, arsenals that they can then use at some point to actually try and destroy Israel. They will not allow that to happen.  They allowed it to happen with Hamas. It was a mistake. They allowed it to happen with Hezbollah. It was a mistake that they corrected. And Iran is the biggest, arguably, really, the only existential threat as huge, as a tasking as that was, clearly they invested in doing it. And the question became, not, why can't it be done? What is it that has to be overcome? And I don't think sitting here with you right now, you know, what is it, 3:30 on Tuesday, the 17th, that we've seen the last of the tricks up Israel's sleeve.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   I only have one last question for you, and that is about the United States. The importance of the United States getting directly involved. I mean, we've talked about previously undisclosed nuclear sites, and who knows how many there could be. We're talking about more than what, 600,000 square miles of Iran. If the goal is a non nuclear Iran, can Israel finish this war without the United States, or does it even matter? I mean, is this just a step to force Iran back to the negotiating table with virtually zero leverage? Matthew Levitt:   So look, I don't think the goal here is completely destroying the Iranian nuclear program, or even completely destroying the Iranian ballistic missile program. The goal is to so degrade it that it is set back many, many years, and break that ceiling. People now understand if Israelis need to come back, they're coming back. I think they would like to do as much damage to these destructive programs as possible, of course, and I don't think we've seen the end of it. I think there are more tricks up Israel's sleeve when it comes to some of these complicated problems.  Judged by this yardstick, by the way, the Israeli operation is a tremendous success, tremendous success, even though there have been some significant casualties back in Israel, and even though this has caused tremendous trauma for innocent Iranians who have no love for the regime. This is a situation that the Iranian regime has brought down on all of us.  I do think that the Israelis have made very, very clear that this doesn't end until something is done to further disrupt and dismantle Fordow, which is the most important and the most heavily fortified, underground, under a mountain facility. It's not clear what the Israelis have in mind. It seems they have something in mind of their own. It's clear they would love for the United States to get involved, because the United States could do real damage to that facility and potentially end the Iranian nuclear program. But at the end of the day, if it can't be completely destroyed, I anticipate it's going to be damaged enough to significantly set it back. This phase of the Israel-Iran war, which didn't start last week, is not about pushing them back a week or a month or two months. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Well, Matt, thank you so much for your wise counsel and perspective on this matter, and yes, hopefully we can have you back another time to talk about peace and love and things that have nothing to do with war and conflict with Iran or its terror proxies. Matthew Levitt:   I would really look forward to prepping for that interview. In the meantime, I want to thank AJC for all the important work it does, and thank you guys for having me on the podcast. Manya Brachear Pashman:   If you missed last week's episodes, be sure to tune in for our crossover episode with Books and Beyond: The Rabbi Sacks Podcast, a podcast of the Rabbi Sacks Legacy, and my conversation with AJC's Jerusalem Director Avital Liebovich.

At a June 3 meeting of the Health Care Cost Transparency Board, several industry officials made it clear that some recently passed state legislation may be undermining the board's goal of controlling health care costs. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Read more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_3da5bf7b-808a-4a04-accc-ad0f88b8785d.html

Together they explore why willpower alone isn't enough, and how understanding brain chemistry — specifically dopamine loops, habit cues, and emotional triggers — is the key to reclaiming control. The conversation blends cutting-edge neuroscience with hard-earned wisdom, offering listeners a toolkit to stop compulsive eating and feed the “good wolf” instead.You'll learn how small, daily decisions either reinforce or break addictive patterns, why delayed gratification is a key to long-term success, and how food cravings are often just symptoms of deeper emotional needs.

En Niza, sureste de Francia, se juntarán del 9 al 13 de junio más de 50 jefes de Estados para la Conferencia de Naciones Unidas sobre el Océano. Una cumbre de cinco días para buscar soluciones a múltiples retos ambientales, como la pérdida drástica de ciertas especies por la sobrepesca, o el calentamiento de las aguas a causa del cambio climático.  Con el 10% de las especies marinas en peligro de extinción, el 37 % de las poblaciones de peces sobreexplotadas y al menos ocho millones de toneladas de plásticos vertidos cada año en los mares, los retos ambientales en torno a los océanos son múltiples. Urge conservar mejor los océanos y restaurar los ecosistemas marinos dañados por las actividades humanas, indican los oceanólogos.El acuerdo de altamarEn la cumbre de Niza, se buscará precisamente avanzar en el punto 14 de la agenda 2030 de Naciones Unidas, es decir conservar y utilizar de forma sostenible los océanos. A través de acuerdos, financiamientos y compromisos políticos, la Conferencia de Naciones Unidas sobre el Océano es el espacio para buscar soluciones a estos desafíos, afirma Maximiliano Bello, especialista en protección marina en la fundación Blue Marine.“Si bien, efectivamente no es una COP de negociación, creo que demuestra esta intención global de poner mucho más en la palestra al océano. Estamos hablando por ejemplo, entre las cosas importantes que estamos viendo, del tema del acuerdo de altamar: esperamos seguir sumando países para que ratifiquen y que pueda entrar en vigor lo antes posible. Los subsidios a la pesca es un tema clave internacional, para poder detener los subsidios que están aumentando la destrucción del océano. Por otra parte, está obviamente el ‘30×30' que depende de la Convención de Diversidad Biológica: que la protección del océano y de la tierra para el 2030 sea del 30% al menos. Entonces [esta cumbre] viene a reunir todos estos temas en una sola gran conversación”, detalla Bello.En esta cumbre se hablará, por ejemplo, de los impactos posibles de la minería submarina, del plástico en el océano, de la regulación de la pesca, de la protección de las rutas de migración de los peces... Pero según el especialista, “todos [estos temas] son urgentes, con diferentes focos. Por ejemplo, con el 30x30 estamos muy atrás, pero sin embargo hay países que están avanzando muchísimo”.Por ejemplo, recalca, el presidente chileno Gabriel Boric, en su Cuenta Pública, habló del aumento del 18% de las áreas protegidas en el país. “Eso muestra también la ambición de países que están avanzando con paso muy firme, pero nos falta que todos se unan y para eso también necesitamos un acuerdo de altamar”, afirma Bello.“No son necesidades de consumo”Hay ambición, efectivamente, pero hay intereses también económicos de algunos países, empresas o grupos de intereses, para iniciar actividades peligrosas para el medioambiente como la minería submarina o la pesca de especies amenazadas.“Es sin duda preocupante que todavía sigamos en una visión muy cortoplacista”, en la que vamos “a explotar ecosistemas que han venido evolucionando, que han venido generándose por miles o millones de años, como las zonas profundas donde se pretende extraer materiales para poder hacer crecer la industria de los autos eléctricos, o este cambio energético que buscamos...”, comenta el especialista en protección marina.“No podemos, por un lado, solucionar una cosa y destruir, por otro lado, la fuente de la vida. Y ese corto plazo ha sido muy común también en la pesca. La pesca hoy día sigue en muchos lugares. Por ejemplo, hemos visto en Francia, en España y en muchos otros lugares que hay áreas marinas protegidas que todavía tienen pesca de arrastre”, agrega.Y si bien “la pesca de arrastre es reconocida como una actividad muy destructiva, hay muchas otras actividades también que son muy destructivas y muchas de esas actividades funcionan solamente como necesidad de lujo. No son necesidades de consumo de la gente para la proteína, para la salud alimentaria. Entonces tenemos que empezar a definir qué es lo que queremos. Este es un planeta que es finito. Todos sus recursos son finitos”, concluye Maximiliano Bello.La cumbre de Niza durará hasta el 13 de junio y debería concluirse con una declaración común para la protección de los océanos.

New Food Waste Recycling Campaign Launched to Urge 1.2 Million Brown Bin Users to Become Brown Bin Champions

Irish Tech News Audio Articles

As Ireland celebrates its fourth National Food Waste Recycling Week, new research highlights both the remarkable progress made in brown bin usage and the ongoing challenge of contamination. With over 200,000 new brown bins rolled out nationwide since the start of 2024, bringing the total number of brown bin owners across Ireland to approximately 1.2 million, householders in Ireland are embracing food waste recycling like never before. However, a recent study of over 1,000 adults reveals that despite widespread brown bin usage, contamination remains a concern, potentially compromising the quality of compost and hindering our efforts towards a circular economy. The research, conducted by Empathy Research on behalf of MyWaste, Ireland's official guide to managing your waste, found that while the vast majority of people use their brown bin (84%), confusion and occasional haste can at times lead to incorrect items being disposed of in the brown bin. The study indicated that 33% admit to knowingly putting incorrect items in their brown bin, a figure that rises to 50% amongst 18-34-year-olds. The research also highlights confusion about garden waste, with younger adults (18-34) mistakenly believing stones and barbeque coals can be composted. Other common items incorrectly placed in brown bins include general waste (32%), the plastic around vegetables (26%), soft plastics (24%), and food cartons (24%). This National Food Waste Recycling Week (June 1st - June 8th, 2025), MyWaste.ie is launching a new campaign to tackle this problem, focusing on both confusion and haste as key contributing factors. "I'm delighted to see the continued growth in brown bin usage across the country," said Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications with responsibility for Circular Economy, Alan Dillon TD. "The expansion of the programme, coupled with the dedication of Irish citizens, is a testament to our commitment to a circular economy and a greener future. By working together to reduce food waste in the first instance and minimise contamination thereafter, we can ensure that our food and garden waste is transformed into valuable compost, enriching our soil, supporting sustainable agriculture and reducing our carbon footprint." The research also explored the reasons behind these mistakes. The primary reason cited for knowingly putting an item in their brown bin incorrectly was being in a hurry (38%), with lack of knowledge about what is accepted in the brown bin being the second most common reason (26%). "It's fantastic to see so many households embracing the brown bin system," said Pauline McDonogh, Resource Efficiency Officer at MyWaste. "However, contamination remains a challenge. This National Food Waste Recycling Week we want to empower everyone to become brown bin champions in their homes, at work or at play. We understand that sometimes it can be confusing, which is why we're providing clear and accessible information to help everyone use their brown bin correctly. Putting the wrong items in the brown bin can compromise the recycling process and reduce the level of compost produced. Let's all remember: 'No Metal, No Glass, No Plastic Makes Our Brown Bin Fantastic!' By keeping contaminants out of our brown bins, we can protect our soil and contribute to a circular economy." What can go into the brown bin? The brown bin service accepts all types of food including raw and cooked meat and fish, plate scrapings, along with fruit and vegetable peelings. Other items that can go into the brown bin include food-soiled paper napkins, paper towels, greasy pizza boxes as well as grass clippings and light garden waste, including hedge clippings, spent compost and dead plants. What cannot go into the brown bin? To avoid contamination, remember to remove all packaging from food waste and avoid adding large branches, stones, rubble, plastic plant pots, barbeque coals or other non-compostable materials from your brown bin. ...

The Unseen Struggles of Leadership with Paige

Be Known w/ Rocky Garza

Every great leader I admire has something they're still working through—something real, unresolved, and unseen by others. Today, I want to take you beyond the polished public image to explore the struggles, questions, and breakthroughs that happen behind closed doors. This episode is about the leadership you rarely get to see—the parts they don't always show. If what you hear today resonates with you, stick around until the end for details on our monthly leadership training designed to help you grow.Guest IntroductionEAT. SLEEP. PARTY. REPEAT. That was the mantra for Paige Chenault Lohoefer—and for good reason. As a former wedding planner with nearly a decade of experience, Paige knew how to throw a celebration to remember. Armed with a coveted black book of party vendors and a knack for creating unforgettable moments, she turned her talent toward a new kind of guest of honor: children experiencing homelessness.In 2012, she founded The Birthday Party Project (TBPP)—a nonprofit that brings JOY through the magic of birthday celebrations. What began as a simple idea has grown into a national movement. Over the last 13 years, TBPP has expanded to 20 cities, celebrated more than 78,000 children, and mobilized nearly 38,000 volunteers—known lovingly as Birthday Enthusiasts.While Paige has transitioned out of the day-to-day leadership at TBPP, she remains its passionate Chief Storyteller and biggest champion. Her heart still beats for community, but these days her focus has shifted to helping others build bold, beautiful organizations from the inside out.Paige is deeply committed to aligning vision with values, purpose with brand, and systems with culture. Whether she's consulting on a campaign, clarifying messaging, or guiding a team through change, Paige is at her best when she's bringing big ideas to life and creating meaningful spaces where people feel seen, known, and celebrated.Her work has been featured by the TODAY Show, New York Times, The World According to Jeff Goldblum, Glamour Magazine, ABC World News Tonight, and more. She delivered a TEDx talk in 2016 and continues to speak on brave leadership, intentional culture, and finding JOY in the everyday.Paige believes that people matter most—and that the right invitation can change everything.Key TakeawaysLeadership is never finished. Even the most successful leaders wrestle with challenges that are still unfolding and roles that keep evolving.Letting go is hard. Stepping away from the day-to-day decision making is often way more difficult than I expected.Responsibility versus accountability: It's crucial to know what you're responsible for, what you're accountable to, and what you're choosing to take on.Ego and security play a huge role. Holding onto control often comes from a need for security, belonging, and relevance.Trusting others takes practice. It's natural to fear what might happen when we delegate, but giving space is how others grow and solve problems.Belonging versus being wanted: Being relevant doesn't always feel like being wanted—but true collaboration needs both.Deep Dive: The Leadership Transition StrugglePaige opened up about how hard it's been to “let go” after bringing in a capable CEO and stepping back from the primary decision-making role. She talked about the heavy feeling of still being responsible for outcomes, even though she's no longer in control. We also discussed the struggle of trusting others' decisions while still wanting those decisions to align with the mission she built. Sometimes, taking on responsibility is a choice—and it can become a burden we don't actually need.The Three Categories of Leadership OwnershipThings I'm responsible for—tasks only I can handle, and if I don't do them, it's detrimental.Things I'm accountable for—even if I'm not involved day to day, the buck stops with me.Things I've willfully chosen to take on, even if they weren't assigned or necessary.The Ego, Security, and Belonging Behind ControlPaige and I talked about the ego tied to leadership—the drive to find solutions and control outcomes that feels like a source of security. The problem-solving that happens too fast can rob the team of space to grow. It's a tension between knowing your stuff and trusting others to contribute fully. And underneath it all is the need to feel relevant, wanted, and like you have a place to belong—that's what keeps us so deeply involved sometimes.Key Quotes“Every great leader I admire, no matter how much success they show, has something they're still working through.”“Stepping out of the decision-maker role has been way harder than I imagined.”“I find myself pausing, conflicted about what's mine to do and what's not.”“Sometimes I don't even allow someone else's voice because I'm terrified it will take too long or the outcome won't be what I want.”“I work really hard to create places where people belong.

From the Trump administration's 'skinny budget' that aims to cut $12 billion from the US Department of Education to the latest version of the state budget which underfunds Ohio's public schools by $2.75 billion in the next two years, threats at the federal and state levels make it more important now than ever the educators stand up for the supports and resources our students need.

It's Wednesday, May 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus British national Muslim fighters committed war crimes A recent report from the U.K. parliament found that hundreds of Islamic fighters have returned to England without facing prosecution. British nationals joined the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria between 2014 and 2019. The group targeted religious minorities and committed many war crimes. Since then, over 400 Islamic State fighters have returned to the U.K. However, the country's government has not prosecuted any of them for international crimes. Christians have faced high levels of persecution from Islamic fighters in Iraq and Syria. Both countries are ranked on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most dangerous to be a Christian.  Ecclesiastes 8:11-12 says, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.” Trump to Putin: “When are we going to end this bloodbath?” U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine on Monday. Trump said Russia and Ukraine would immediately start negotiations toward a ceasefire. He noted that the new Roman Catholic pope, Leo XIV, has offered to host the talks at the Vatican. President Trump warned that the United States would back out of the situation if both sides can't reach an agreement. Listen. TRUMP: “I said, ‘When are we going to end this Vladimir?' I've known him for a long time now. I said, ‘When are we going to end this blood bath?' It's a blood bath. I think it'd be great to have it at the Vatican. There's tremendous bitterness, anger, and I think maybe that could help some of that anger.” Trump dropped $37 million fine against Christian University The Trump administration dropped a $37 million fine against the largest Christian university in America Initially, Biden's Department of Education leveled the fine against Grand Canyon University. Brian Mueller, the president of the university, said, “The facts clearly support our contention that we were wrongly accused of misleading our Doctoral students and we appreciate the recognition that those accusations were without merit.” Ellen Keast, an Education Department spokeswoman, noted, “Unlike the previous administration, we will not persecute and prosecute colleges and universities based on their religious affiliation.” FDA discouraging young, healthy Americans from getting COVID shot On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced new rules for its approval of COVID-19 shots. The FDA said it will require more research before approving yearly COVID-19 boosters for young, healthy Americans.  The shots will still be approved for adults over 65 and for people with health problems that put them at higher risk. FDA officials noted, “The FDA will approve vaccines for high-risk persons and, at the same time, demand robust, gold-standard data on persons at low risk.” Man kills self, injured 4 outside in vitro clinic On Saturday, a car bomb was detonated outside an in vitro fertilization clinic called the American Reproductive Center in Los Angeles.  The blast killed 25-year-old suspect Guy Edward Bartkus and injured four other people. The in vitro fertilization facility was damaged, but the embryos stored inside were saved. Bartkus reportedly left behind a manifesto on a website. In it, he said he wanted to start “a war against pro-lifers” and “begin the process of sterilizing this planet of the disease of life.” Urge 19 Republican Congressmen to DEFUND Planned Parenthood Today, the House Rules Committee will have a hearing and vote on President Trump's “big, beautiful bill” to determine what budget items go to the House floor. If even a single amendment is added, the momentum we've built to stop funding Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion could vanish, reports Liberty Counsel Action. This is the last vote before the bill is placed on the House floor. Two conservative Republicans who voted “present” on Sunday night are also on the Rules Committee. The full House could vote on this bill as early as later today. Remember, there are 220 Republicans and 213 Democrats. Because the GOP majority is so slim, we need every one of them. Three moderate House Republicans are carrying the water for Planned Parenthood and pushing House leaders to continue funding the Murder Giant. Those three pro-abortion Republican Representatives include Mike Lawler (R-NY), Jen Kiggans (R-VA), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). These members are exerting significant pressure on House leadership to give up defunding Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion. We are on the cusp of victory, and we cannot allow this effort to fail. There are 19 key Republicans in leadership who need to hear from us. I've listed them in our transcript today along with a 3-sentence message you could read when you call today at www.TheWorldview.com.  Do not hesitate to leave a voicemail. Call as many of them as you can as early as you can! Email me at Adam@TheWorldview.com to let me know how many Congressmen you and your family members called.

She was 91. In an announcement on the Precept website, her ministry said,  Kay “will be remembered for her love for the Lord, His Word, and His people.” A prolific author, Arthur wrote more than 100 books and Bible studies over her lifetime including her bestseller, Lord, Teach Me to Study the Bible in 28 Days.  ARTHUR: “People need to discover truth for themselves because God promises in His word that He has given us everything that pertains, not only to life, but also to godliness, so that we might be fitted for every good work, so that nothing can come our way and throw us. “God is doing a work in their lives because the only text that they are looking at is the Bible, which is alive and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. It's a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. It is a light unto our path. It's the very Word by which we live. It's the Sword by which we stand against the enemy." She often said, “When you know what God says, what He means, and how to put His truths into practice, you will be equipped for every circumstance of life.” Through Precept's inductive Bible study method—teaching believers to observe, interpret, and apply Scripture—Arthur equipped millions around the world to study the Bible for themselves.  Indeed, the ministry was heard in 150 countries in 70 different languages.

Visit today's blog post here. Often, a thought like “I think I should quit” isn't really about quitting—it's a cry for help. A signal that something needs to shift. In this episode, I'm talking about why we need to stop treating that urge like it's a bad thing. "Quitting",  whether on the macro or micro level, doesn't make you a failure. In fact, putting letting go on the table (and either shifting to something more aligned or choosing it again after reevaluating) can be the most empowered move you make. You're allowed to leave things behind—without fear, without guilt, and without spiraling into “maybe I'm not good enough.” You didn't build a business to be stuck in a different kind of hamster wheel. The point is to create money, freedom, and a life that reflects your values. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

Sometimes, the danger isn't real, but our bodies still act like it is. You're stuck in traffic, someone you love is upset, or a friend doesn't text back, and suddenly, you're spiraling.  Your heart races, your thoughts scramble, and before you know it, you're either fixing, fleeing, or shutting down.  What's happening? In a world that constantly pushes us to stay in control, we forget how to stay connected, to ourselves, to others, and to the moment.  But our bodies remember. They hold wisdom, intuition, and the capacity to guide us, if we're willing to listen.  When we learn to pause, feel, and trust, we unlock a deeper kind of safety that doesn't depend on circumstances. In this episode, we unpack the fear-driven urge to fix, the stories our minds create to avoid discomfort, and the deep wisdom available when we drop into presence.  Through stories of hypervigilance, childhood coping strategies, and even traffic-induced meltdowns, we explore how embodiment opens up more freedom, clarity, and connection than control ever could.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -The fixing instinct Why do we leap into action when someone else is struggling, and what are we really trying to avoid? -Hypervigilance reframed What if your childhood survival skills could become your greatest gifts, once you learn how to work with them instead of against them? -Your body gets there first How can checking in with your body (instead of your thoughts) stop fear from spiraling and bring you back to your own inner wisdom? -The contagion of calm What happens when we meet tension with grounded presence, and how does that ripple outward to others?     About Your Hosts Katie Hendricks, Ph.D., BC-DMT, is a pioneer in body intelligence and conscious loving with over 40 years of experience.

It's Monday, May 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Catholic man brutally beaten to death On May 12th, Muslims in Pakistan, including a former police officer, tortured a Catholic laborer to death over an accusation he had stolen a cell phone, reports Morning Star News. Riyasat Masih from the Punjab Province, said that his 35-year-old brother, Kashif Masih, worked on the agricultural property of former police inspector Malik Irfan for the last three years. Before the Catholic man succumbed to his injuries, he revealed that the former police inspector ordered his seven accomplices to beat him till he confessed. Tragically, they tortured him with wooden clubs and iron bars, hitting him indiscriminately all over his body. Most brutally, they even hammered several steel nails into his legs. Riyasat, a surviving brother, said, “I cannot express the pain when I saw my younger brother's body. The bruise marks showed the brutality he had suffered at the hands of his influential employer and his goons.” Please pray that justice would be done and these Pakistani Muslims are held accountable. Exodus 20:13 says, “You shall not murder.” Mexican sailing ship crashed into Brooklyn Bridge Mexican sailors were seen dangling from a navy ship's main mast moments after the ship smashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, reports The Daily Mail. The sailors had been standing atop the Cuauhtémoc's 150-foot masts in the lead up to the ship striking the iconic structure on Saturday as part of a traditional greeting.  The massive Navy vessel, reportedly carrying nearly 300 passengers, hit the New York City bridge, triggering a colossal rescue response and leaving two dead and dozens more severely injured.   In multiple eyewitness videos, the towering masts are seen snapping and partially collapsing as they crash into the bridge's deck. Sailors perched high above are thrown into chaos, with some seen clinging to the shattered beams high up in the air. It was not clear how the ship's captain had not realized that the 150-foot height of the ship was taller than the bridge's deck which was 127 feet above the water. Urge your Congressman to vote to defund Planned Parenthood In its 2023-2024 annual report, Planned Parenthood revealed that it killed more U.S. babies than ever before, ​t​aking the lives of 402,230​ boys and girls in the womb. ​ Even the New York Times and NPR are now acknowledging that Planned Parenthood is harmful and abusing taxpayer dollars. A grisly New York Times story from February 2025 features atrocious conditions at Planned Parenthood like botched abortions and leaking sewage. Shockingly, 5 women have died because of Planned Parenthood when they sought abortions.  Worse yet, American taxpayers were forced to fund $792 MILLION of this murderous mayhem – an increase of $100 million from the year before. With a GOP trifecta in Washington, it's time American taxpayers defunded Big Abortion! Thankfully, President Trump is committed to ending taxpayer-funded abortion.  It is the president's hope that his “big, beautiful bill” being debated in the House reconciliation process will defund Planned Parenthood. The challenge is that pro-lifers need every House Republican to pass the bill. After the bill failed to get out of the Budget Committee on Friday morning, May 16th in a 16-21 vote because some Republicans, like Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, didn't think it cut enough money from other sectors of the budget, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise claimed that the House WILL defund Planned Parenthood in a bill that would (a) get out of the Budget Committee and (b) pass the House in a floor vote this week, reports LifeNews.com. Call your Representative at 202-224-3121 and urge him or her to defund Planned Parenthood.  That's 202-224-3121. You can make that call any time of the day or night.  Please email me at Adam@TheWorldview.com to let me know you made this important call. Proverbs 24:11 says, “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter" Colorado transgender law tramples parental rights And finally, for weeks, the Colorado legislature has been debating whether or not to pass HB25-1312, the so-called “Protections for Transgender Individuals” act.  The state is especially hostile to a parent who is guilty of so-called “deadnaming” or “misgendering” their child. “Deadnaming” is calling a person, pretending to be the opposite sex, by their given birth name. And “misgendering” is when someone refers to the transgender person with pronouns which reflect their actual biological sex instead of the one they are pretending to be. This law, which sadly received majority votes in the Colorado House and Senate in early May, was just signed into law on Friday, May 16th by Colorado Democratic Governor Jared Polis, a homosexual who is in a faux marriage with his so-called husband.  Now, the courts have been empowered to literally remove children from their parents who do not affirm their child's gender confusion, especially in child custody cases. To his credit, Republican Colorado State Representative Jarvis Caldwell offered an amendment to HR 25-1312 that said public schools had to have parental consent to allow a student to change his or her name in school. Sadly, it was defeated.  Listen to his passionate plea on May 6th. CALDWELL: “I ran an amendment that said you have to have parental consent to change your name in school if you are a child, and that amendment was defeated. Now let me be clear to the members in here. “In my family, names have a meaning. There's a tradition there. I named my children. Who are any of you to tell me that my child can go to school and change their name without my even knowledge? Who are any of you to say that? “I gave them their names. I was there when they were born. I was there when they said their first words and took their first steps. I was there on their first day of school. I will be there on their last day of school. I will be there when they have children of their own, and they name their children. And God willing, my children will be by my side as I lay on my deathbed and take my last breaths on this Earth. Not a single person in this room will be. “Stop putting yourselves, the government, between us parents and our children. We are sick and tired of it. It's not about hating trans people. It's about putting yourselves in between us and our kids. That's why we have fought this bill. “We received thousands of emails, thousands of phone calls, not because thousands of people around Colorado hate trans people. It's because they're sick of the bills we're passing infringing on their rights. This perhaps may be the most egregious we've seen so far. That's why we feel this way. It is not about hate. It is about love, the love I have for my kids.” May the Lord raise up more Jarvis Caldwells, true Christian statesmen, to represent Biblical values in our legislatures.

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone! In this week's episode, our host, Allie Brooke, is interviewed by the amazing Lauren House for the Hot Girl School Podcast. Lauren asks questions about finding the root of perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies and how to overcome them. Lauren and Allie dive deep into the intertwined challenges of perfectionism and people-pleasing, revealing how these deeply ingrained patterns, often stemming from childhood, can lead to feelings of unfulfillment and potential burnout. We'll break down the distinct signs of perfectionism (self-criticism, control issues, fear of failure) and people-pleasing (constant availability, saying yes to everything, seeking external validation), and explore how these seemingly separate tendencies often bleed into one another, limiting your authentic self. Discover why society often praises perfectionism and how this conditioning can prevent true self-discovery. Most importantly, Allie provides practical exercises, like "dating yourself" through journaling to understand your wants and values, and in-the-moment techniques to stop self-shaming and regulate emotions. Learn the crucial skill of saying "no" as a recovering people-pleaser and understand how setting healthy boundaries ultimately honors yourself and teaches others how to treat you. This episode is your guide to recognizing these limiting patterns and taking actionable steps towards embracing your authentic self with clarity and confidence.

What happens when you finally feel your emotions instead of trying to numb them with alcohol? In this episode, we hear two powerful coaching conversations. Coach Zoe talks with Jill, who is finding her way back to her spiritual side after years of working in a high-stress job where drinking was common. Coach Ruby works with Ambur, a former college athlete and mom of two young kids, who is now 120 days alcohol-free. Both women are learning how to feel their emotions instead of escaping them. They're on the road to understanding the urge to drink as a sign that they were feeling disconnected from who they really are. These sessions show how self-kindness and body awareness can take the place of alcohol when it comes to handling tough emotions. In Jill's session with Coach Zoe: Returning to neglected areas of life, like spirituality, after quitting. Recognizing how career focus can inadvertently support drinking habits. Learning to connect with and process bodily sensations and emotions. Exploring meditation and somatic work as tools for emotional regulation. Utilizing anchoring techniques to stay present during discomfort. Understanding self-compassion as a key to emotional processing. The significance of acknowledging and learning from past drinking experiences and more… In Ambur's session with Coach Ruby: Navigating early motherhood and perfectionism without alcohol Celebrating 120 days alcohol-free and learning to feel again Understanding the urge to drink as a desire to escape loneliness Using meditation, exercise, and truth-telling as new tools Processing emotions instead of labeling them as “bad” Letting go of judgment and learning to sit with discomfort Replacing sneaky drinking with honest communication Exploring what a sustainable alcohol-free life looks like and more… Zoe Ewart is a Certified Naked Mind Senior Coach who brings her experience and understanding to help with the tricky parts of life's big changes.
