Dr Ana Maria Villada has spent years unraveling the mysteries of sloths—creatures so physiologically unique that they're closer to chimpanzees than they are to each other. But her work treating electrocution injuries, creating rope highways through fragmented forests, and tracking hand-raised orphans released into the wild reveals something surprising: sloths are far more adaptable than science once believed.Right now, Ana is in Uzbekistan fighting to protect sloths from international wildlife trade. Yet back in Costa Rica, her biggest challenge isn't the dramatic rescues, it's answering a fundamental question: we still don't know if sloth populations are thriving or declining in the wild.Discover how the Sloth Institute's "sloth speedways" benefit jaguars, monkeys, and porcupines. Hear why hand-raised sloths can survive in the wild. And learn what makes treating a three-fingered sloth 31% more complicated than treating a two-fingered one.LinksLearn more about the Sloth InstituteAna Maria's professional Instagram page.Check out more details about Ana Maria's PhD at Andres Bello University, Chile. Read the press release and information about sloth trafficking for CITES here.We'd love to hear from you ... share your thoughts, feedback and ideas.

Leaving the US after weeks on the road, we zoom out from New York and Washington and asks a question we almost never ask in Europe: what if the real future of geopolitics isn't in Brussels, Beijing or DC, but in Central Asia? To get there, we bring in historian Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads, to map the region we lazily call “the Stans”; Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan, plus Afghanistan, Iran and their neighbours. Together we unpack why this vast strip of land, once the beating heart of the Silk Roads, is suddenly back at the centre of the global game: home to huge reserves of oil, gas, uranium, rare earths and critical minerals, a young and growing population, and wedged between Russia, China, India, Pakistan and Iran. We hear how Central Asian states are learning to play everyone off against everyone and why the new Great Game isn't a neat East vs West story at all. If the world is getting more dangerous, more digital and more fragmented, what does it mean that Ireland is the EU's weak link on defence, with tiny cyber budgets, under-protected seabed cables and a very cosy version of neutrality?

The EU and the US have restarted their trade negotiations in a bid to settle sticking points left unsolved in their tariff deal reached in July. The US side called on the EU to reconsider its digital rules and find "a balanced approach" if it wanted Washington to lower import duties on steel and aluminium. Plus, global talks on protecting wildlife and ensuring sustainable trade have kicked off in Uzbekistan. The EU wants to tighten restrictions on the trade of eels, something Japan is vehemently against. 

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/21/2025): 3:05pm- On Friday, New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House. Will there be fireworks? 3:30pm- Kathleen Lochel—Co-owner Lochel Bakery in Hatboro, Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the unfair backlash her bakery has received for simply offering her customers a Trump-themed gingerbread house for the holidays! You can order your holiday desserts from Lochel Bakery or learn more about the store here: https://www.lochelsbakery.com/. 3:40pm- Following their meeting at the White House, President Trump said he believes that conservatives might be pleasantly surprised by some of Zohran Mamdani's planned actions as mayor. While taking questions from the press, Mamdani was asked whether he regrets calling President Trump a “despot” during his recent mayoral campaign. Trump joked, “I've been called worse.” Meanwhile, Mamdani said that their Oval Office meeting was constructive, focusing on areas of agreement—like bringing peace to the Middle East. Mamdani noted that one in ten Trump voters in NYC also voted for him. 4:00pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office, President Trump said he would be comfortable living in New York City with Zohran Mamdani as mayor—noting they have far more in common than he would have thought prior to their meeting. Also, Mamdani confirmed that he would be retaining Jessica Tisch as NYC Police Commissioner—she's a good friend of Ivanka Trump. Did Trump and Mamdani just become friends? 4:30pm- On Thursday, several Democratic lawmakers—Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio, and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan—released a video to social media imploring service members and intelligence officials to disobey “illegal” orders issued by President Donald Trump. Though, they never once mentioned what the orders might hypothetically be. In a post to Truth Social, President Trump stated: “This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???” He added, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” 5:05pm- Sarah Parshall Perry—Vice President of Defending Education & Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest editorial for National Review, “We Sued an Ohio School District over Preferred Pronouns and Won.” You can find the article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2025/11/we-sued-an-ohio-school-district-over-preferred-pronouns-and-won/. 5:30pm- Stacy Garrity—Pennsylvania Treasurer & Republican Candidate for Governor—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her call for an investigation into how a suspected Uzbekistan terrorist obtained a CDL driver's license issued by PennDOT under Gov.

While taking questions from the press, Mamdani was asked whether he regrets calling President Trump a “despot” during his recent mayoral campaign. Trump joked, “I've been called worse.” Meanwhile, Mamdani said that their Oval Office meeting was constructive, focusing on areas of agreement—like bringing peace to the Middle East. Mamdani noted that one in ten Trump voters in NYC also voted for him. 6:00pm- Don't fight with family members over politics at Thanksgiving dinner, Mamdani flies to Washington DC instead of taking the train (isn't that bad for the environment?), and Rich is making pizza! 6:30pm- Hours before Zohran Mamdani's visit to the White House, the House of Representatives passed a resolution denouncing the “horrors of socialism.” The bipartisan vote was 285 to 98. 6:40pm- Rich Zeoli Flashback: From 2015, Rich gets into an argument at the mall over Santa Claus's not so jolly sche ...

Cele două grupuri de opoziție reprezentate în Parlamentul Armeniei vor mobiliza susținătorii și vor introduce o rezoluție parlamentară comună pentru a cere eliberarea zecilor de critici ai prim-ministrului Nikol Pashinian arestați în ultimele luni, relatează Radio Azatutyun.  Reprezentanții acestora au insistat miercuri că prizonierii - printre care trei episcopi ai Bisericii Apostolice Armene, doi primari din opoziție, un om de afaceri miliardar și doi podcasteri – ar fi „prizonieri politici” urmăriți penal într-o acțiune de represiune guvernamentală fără precedent împotriva disidenților.„Democrația din Armenia regresează, iar numărul fără precedent de prizonieri politici este o manifestare a acestui lucru”, se arată în rezoluția elaborată de alianțele de opoziție Hayastan și Pativ Unem. De asemenea, se cere încetarea „persecuției politice” a unui număr tot mai mare de critici ai guvernului.Hasmik Hakobian, membră a Parlamentului din partea partidului de guvernământ Contractul Civil, a respins această interpretare și a precizat că majoritatea pro-guvernamentală din Adunarea Națională va bloca adoptarea rezoluției. Ea a insistat că nu există prizonieri politici în țară. Conform opoziției, amploarea represiunii subliniază profundul sentiment de nesiguranță al lui Pașinian înaintea alegerilor generale care vor avea loc în iunie 2026. Pe de altă parte, premierul și-a exprimat încrederea că partidul său va câștiga alegerile. Ruta energetică: Hidrogenul și reconfigurarea legăturilor energetice între Europa și Asia Centrală La forumul Global Gateway de la Bruxelles, Uniunea Europeană și-a consolidat parteneriatul energetic cu Asia Centrală prin semnarea de acorduri cu Kazahstan, Kârgâzstan și Uzbekistan pentru extinderea proiectelor de energie regenerabilă și hidroenergie, relatează site-ul kazah Astana Times.Susținută de Banca Europeană de Investiții, Banca Europeană pentru Reconstrucție și Dezvoltare și Banca Mondială, inițiativa merge dincolo de simpla generare de electricitate: ea deschide calea pentru dezvoltarea hidrogenului verde și a viitoarelor coridoare energetice capabile să conecteze Asia Centrală la piețele europene.Hidrogenul este văzut ca fiind combustibilul viitorului, capabil să decarbonizeze industriile dificil de electrificat și să alimenteze economii întregi. Dar, dincolo de aceste promisiuni, el devine și un instrument geopolitic, așa cum sunt petrolul și gazele. Pe măsură ce țările și întreprinderile investesc în creșterea producției sale, rămâne o întrebare crucială: cum va fi transportat hidrogenul și cine va controla aceste rute? Planul european REPowerEU, lansat la începutul războiului din Ucraina, își propune să diversifice importurile de energie și să accelereze tranziția energetică a continentului. Acesta stabilește obiective ambițioase: 10 milioane de tone de producție internă de hidrogen regenerabil și 10 milioane de tone de importuri până în 2030, pentru a decarboniza sectoare precum oțelul, fabricile de produse chimice și transportul greu.Pentru a atinge aceste obiective, UE explorează mai multe rute de transport, „coridoarele de hidrogen”.

ICE just arrested an Uzbekistan terrorist – also an illegal alien – whom the Biden Administration had earlier released. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the arrest of Akhror Bozorov, a commercial truck driver in Pennsylvania, with links to a terrorist organization. The Sekulow team discusses Bozorov's capture in Kansas, how the migrant truck driver was able to secure a CDL license, the Trump Administration's efforts to secure our borders and strengthen national security, the ACLJ's legal work – and much more.

   Illegal aliens committing crimes has reached critical mass all over America.  After an ICE operation in Charlotte, 21,000 students call in sick for school. 140 Venezuelan gang bangers are caught in a sex ring in Texas and ICE rounds up 10 bad guys in Kansas.  Then, the cherry on top.  We have an alien terrorist from Uzbekistan driving through Kansas with a Pennsylvania CDL license.  What could possible go wrong with a terrorist driving an 18 wheeler?    So what do we do in KC?  We rally up to release the Epstein files from decades ago.  What a joke.    KC car break ins continue to grow in Westport and so do thefts.    In the aftermath of the Chiefs loss, did you notice all the haters that are out celebrating and bashing the team?  But there is one thing NONE of them will say and it's hilarious.    KU plays Duke Tuesday and they are a massive underdog without Darryn Peterson.  KSU and MU win Monday.  Stephen A. Smith says politicians from one party won't go on his podcast and Marco Rubio warns World Cup fans about coming to America.  

In a story shocking millions across the nation, an illegal migrant from Uzbekistan—wanted on terrorism charges and tied to jihadist recruitment—was arrested driving an 18-wheeler in Kansas after receiving full work authorization, a commercial driver's license, and Real ID in the United States. Despite an active Interpol warrant and clear warnings from foreign authorities, he was caught, released by Border Patrol, and later authorized to legally operate school buses and heavy transport vehicles. This episode exposes how security protocols were bypassed, how Real ID requirements are being rendered meaningless, and what this case reveals about border policy, administrative negligence, and national security risks. A viral story crossing political lines—Americans are now asking: If terrorists can get Real ID, what's the point of having one?

In this episode, we explore the growing controversy over religion in public spaces, from school prayer disputes to the NYPD's hijab demonstrations. We examine how Christians in America face restrictions on expressing their faith in public institutions while other religions are increasingly accommodated—and what that means for the principle of separation of church and state. We also dive into a shocking national security story: the release of Akhirah Bazarov, a wanted terrorist from Uzbekistan, who was granted a commercial driver's license and Real ID in the U.S. This raises alarming questions about federal oversight, immigration policy, and public safety. From religion in schools to failures in our security system, this episode challenges listeners to reconsider the balance between tolerance, law, and American values.

SHOW 11-14-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE ECONOMY. FIRST HOUR 9-915 BLISS: WEST COAST URBAN ISSUES AND THE PACK FIRE Guest: Jeff Bliss Seattle elected socialist Kate Wilson, who wants public grocery stores. The Luxor Pyramid in Las Vegas has installed a massive slide for visitors. Both San Francisco and Santa Monica are seeing major business failures and mall auctions due to unchecked crime and vagrancy. Los Angeles Mayor Bass requested citizen help for cleanup before the Olympics. Meanwhile, the 3,000-acre Pack Fire in Mono County is being aided by heavy rain. 915-930 MCTAGUE: LANCASTER COUNTY ECONOMY AND AI FEAR Guest: Jim McTague Reports from Lancaster County show a strong local economy: a metal forming company is "busy as they've ever been" and actively hiring, and the mall is packed with shoppers. Tourism is thriving, exemplified by sold-out shows at the Sight and Sound Theater. However, a persistent fear of AI-driven layoffs exists among retirees, despite no personal connection to the issue. Data centers supporting AI are rapidly being built in the area. 930-945 A. THE FILIBUSTER AND CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the filibuster's purpose: slowing down legislation to improve deliberation and mitigate hyper-partisanship. However, he argues its use against continuing resolutions is illegitimate, leading to "horrendous dislocation." He proposes changing the Senate rule to forbid filibusters on continuing resolutions, ensuring essential government functions are not held hostage for collateral political gain and maintaining fiscal continuity. 945-1000 B. BBC DEFAMATION AND THE NEED FOR REFORM Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the BBC's alleged defamation of President Trump through edited footage. Unlike US law, British defamation has a low bar, though damages may be smaller. Epstein contends that the BBC's reputational damage is enormous and suggests the institution is "thoroughly rotten" due to corruption and political capture. He advocates for cleansing the operation and breaking up the public monopoly. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 BRANDON-WEICHERT: AI'S IMPACT ON JOBS AND GEOPOLITICS Guest: Brandon Weichert High-profile layoffs at Amazon and Walmart are tied to AI replacing roles, fitting the anticipated economic transformation, though it may initially look like a bubble. The US leads in AI software, while China excels in robotics. Concerns exist regarding massive AI bets by industry leaders like Ellison and Altman, specifically whether their political ties could result in taxpayer bailouts if these huge projects fail. 1015-1030 FIORI: ITALIAN HERITAGE TRAINS AND POLITICAL DISPUTES Guest: Lorenzo Fiori Italy is launching heritage Christmas trains like the Espresso Monaco and Espresso Assisi, restoring old coaches and locomotives for tourists. Deputy PM Salvini is publicly criticizing aid to Ukraine, linking it to corruption, potentially as a strategy to regain consensus and boost his party's falling popularity. Nationwide student protests are occurring over school reform and the Palestine issue. Milan is preparing for Christmas celebrations. 1030-1045 A. COMMERCIAL SPACE ACHIEVEMENTS AND POLICY SHIFTS Guest: Bob Zimmerman Blue Origin's New Glenn successfully launched and landed its first stage vertically, becoming only the second company to achieve orbital stage reuse, despite its slow operational pace. VAST, a US commercial space station startup, signed a cooperation deal with Uzbekistan, possibly including flying an astronaut to its Haven One module. France announced a new, market-oriented national space policy, significantly increasing budgets and embracing capitalism via public-private partnerships. 1045-1100 B. GOLDSTONE FAILURE AND SUPERNOVA DISCOVERY Guest: Bob Zimmerman NASA's Goldstone antenna, a critical link in the Deep Space Network, is out of service due to an embarrassing error where it was over-rotated, twisting the cables. This impacts communications with interplanetary and Artemis missions. Separately, new astronomical data from a supernova explosion shows the initial eruption was not symmetrical but bipolar, pushing material and light along the star's poles, refining explosion models. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1. JOSEPHUS AND THE SIEGE OF JODAPATA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Jewish revolt against Rome, starting in 66 AD, is primarily chronicled by Josephus, a leader of the revolt and later historian. Josephus commanded the defense of Jodapata against General Vespasian. After defeat, Josephus survived a mass suicide pact, surrendered, and convinced Vespasian not to kill him by predicting he would become Roman emperor. The rebels were inspired by previous victories like the Maccabees. 1115-1130 2. TITUS'S SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Nero's forced suicide in 68 AD and the subsequent chaos confirmed Josephus's prophecy, leading to Vespasian being proclaimed emperor in 69 AD. Vespasian left his son Titus to lay siege to Jerusalem in 70 AD. Though Jerusalem was a strong fortress, the defenders were critically weakened by infighting among three rebel factions and their own destruction of the city's necessary grain supply. 1130-1145 3. SURVIVAL DURING THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Before the siege of Jerusalem was sealed, two foundational groups fled: Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakai, smuggled out to Yavneh to establish Rabbinic Judaism, and the followers of Jesus, who went to Pella. Titus focused the Roman assault on the city's weakest point, the northern wall. The overconfident Romans were repeatedly frustrated by Jewish defenders using effective irregular tactics, including raids and undermining siege equipment. 1145-1200 4. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE AND MASADA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Flavians decided to completely destroy Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD, an act of extreme Roman imperialism that left the city in ruins. Afterwards, Judea was upgraded to a formal Roman province with a governor and the 10th Legion quartered in Jerusalem. Four years later, the siege of Masada ended with the alleged suicide of defenders, though archaeological evidence remains controversial among scholars. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Greenlights ROK Enrichment, Raising Proliferation Fears Guest: Henry Sokolski, Executive Director of the Non-Proliferation Policy Education Center The US agreement to support the Republic of South Korea's civil uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing for peaceful uses is viewed by Sokolski as a movement toward proliferation. Sokolski notes that this decision greenlights the ROK—a treaty ally with a history of attempting to use its civil programs to make nuclear weapons—to a position similar to Iran's. The ROK successfully leveraged the inconsistency of US policy, pointing out that Japan has permission to enrich and reprocess fuel and possesses a massive plutonium stockpile. Granting the ROK these capabilities sets a concerning precedent, potentially compelling the US to allow other countries like Saudi Arabia to seek similar nuclear options. The proliferation concern is heightened further by the ROK's desire for a nuclear-powered submarine, which could lead to pursuit of a full nuclear weapons triad. 1215-1230 SOKOLSKI: CHINA'S CONVENTIONAL ICBM THREAT Guest: Henry Sokolski The US military is concerned China's PLA may field a conventionally armed ICBM able to strike the continental US. Such missiles could use maneuverable front ends to evade defenses and deliver autonomous drones. This weapon might target civil infrastructure to intimidate the US and deter intervention during a Taiwan conflict. This prospect is opening up a new and puzzling area of strategic warfare requiring urgent strategic assessment. 1230-1245 A. RARE EARTHS: CHINA'S MONOPOLY AND AUSTRALIAN SUPPLY Guest: David Archibald China's predatory pricing previously achieved a rare earth monopoly, damaging competitors like Lynas, which almost went bankrupt. Australia, via companies like Lynas and Iluka, is being eyed by the US as a non-Chinese source for rare earths critical for high-end electronics and defense. Processing is complex, requiring many steps, and often occurs in places like Malaysia. 1245-100 AM B. HIGH-TEMPERATURE RARE EARTHS AND PREDATORY PRICING Guest: David Archibald The most desirable rare earths, Dysprosium and Terbium, allow magnets to function at high temperatures. China is now sourcing 40% of its supply of these from Myanmar. Though Australia produces these, structural oversupply is a risk. Subsidies, like the floor price given to MP Materials, may be necessary to prevent Chinese predatory pricing from killing off non-commercial producers seeking market dominance.

A. COMMERCIAL SPACE ACHIEVEMENTS AND POLICY SHIFTS Guest: Bob Zimmerman Blue Origin's New Glenn successfully launched and landed its first stage vertically, becoming only the second company to achieve orbital stage reuse, despite its slow operational pace. VAST, a US commercial space station startup, signed a cooperation deal with Uzbekistan, possibly including flying an astronaut to its Haven One module. France announced a new, market-oriented national space policy, significantly increasing budgets and embracing capitalism via public-private partnerships.

PREVIEW Bob Zimmerman reports that Vast, an American commercial startup, is launching its single-module space station, Haven One, next year without NASA funding. Vast signed a cooperation deal with Uzbekistan, strongly implying that the Central Asian nation will fly an astronaut to the station, marking its return to space development after the Soviet era. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. Retry

Sharks and rays are some of the ocean's most iconic species, but they are in crisis. At the upcoming CITES COP20 meeting in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, governments will decide on dozens of proposals to regulate global trade in wildlife and wildlife products. That includes whether or not to give certain shark and ray species the highest level of international trade protections—a full ban.  Reporting: Dan Rosen Guests: Luke Warwick, Dana Tricarico

Wicus Diedericks, owner of Rockwood Conservation, dropped a bomb on the rhino conservation world on Friday, when a court ruled that he can trade in rhino horn (devil is in the details). It's not quite that simple, but the ruling stated that the CITES exemption for conservation-bred rhinos is part of South African law - i.e., he should legally be able to get an export permit for horns that have been dehorned from his herd. This is huge news for rhino conservation and potentially the legal mechanism by which rhino horn can be purchased by the east and the Middle East. This is absolutely breaking news, with this court decision occurring last Friday. We do not know the extent of the implications of the court ruling, we do know the MEC of the Northern Cape has 7 days to respond to the issuance of the export permit. We also know that in 2 1/2 weeks CITES COP starts in Uzbekistan and this will be the talk of the town there!
