What happens when you spend 58 years wondering about your biological parents, only to discover your dad is five-time Grammy winner Michael McDonald? You get one incredible family story — and then The Rizzuto Show immediately starts wondering whether Dad owes you a check and a chance to go on tour with the Doobie Brothers.This episode starts with the crew absolutely destroying breakfast from Pioneer Cafe in Kirkwood, including Nashville hot chicken hash, the Stellar Hog hash and enough onions to make Rafe question whether the universe personally hates him. And yes, somehow breakfast gets a full culinary breakdown because apparently this comedy podcast is now Diners, Drive-Ins and Dumbasses.Then comes the genuinely wild story of St. Louisan Michael Gessling, who was adopted as a baby after his biological parents conceived him when they were just 14 years old. Decades later, a 23andMe connection helped unravel the mystery of his biological family — including the small detail that his dad is Michael freaking McDonald.Yes. THAT Michael McDonald.The crew digs into the emotional reunion, Michael McDonald becoming an unexpected grandfather, whether his newly discovered son should immediately become an honorary Doobie, and the beautiful vindication this provides for every kid who ever told classmates, “My dad is actually famous.” Somewhere, the kid who claimed his dad invented Nintendo is feeling VERY confident today.Then Lern delivers Crap on Celebrities, and things remain perfectly normal for approximately zero seconds. There's Diddy prison drama, Rick Ross legal news, a Kid Rock project involving Eminem, concert announcements, Eddie Murphy heading toward scripted television, tiny residual checks from beloved '90s TV shows, Grand Theft Auto 6 earning the most predictable mature rating in human history, and Sylvester Stallone looking back at how Rambo went from emotionally damaged Vietnam veteran to extremely muscular explosion delivery system.The crew also debates Bradley Cooper as Duke in the upcoming G.I. Joe world, learns that Duke is apparently a St. Louis native — because this city will claim literally anybody it can — and examines John Cusack's new look with the sensitivity and restraint you've come to expect from us.Which is none.There's also plenty of Halloween movie talk before Porno Birthday somehow delivers the phrase “Gangsta Glory Holes 2,” providing an accidental transition so perfect that no professional writer could responsibly create it.Because waiting on the other side of the break is the Glory Hole Challenge.Riz gets blindfolded. Mystery objects are going through the hole. His face is apparently the designated scientific instrument. Listeners have prizes riding on whether he can identify what's being shoved toward him, and Rafe offers perhaps the least comforting reassurance possible: yes, it's going to be bad.It's another comedy podcast packed with weird family revelations, celebrity news, St. Louis nonsense, breakfast envy and questionable workplace decisions. In other words, another completely normal day with The Rizzuto Show.Come for Michael McDonald's surprise son. Stay because you need to know what they're putting through that hole.That's comedy podcast excellence, unfortunately.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

⚠️ History looks obvious after we know the ending. Living through it is another matter entirely. That idea shaped my conversation with historian William I. Hitchcock, author of A Shadow Over the World. Americans in the 1930s were not reading a history book. They were listening to radio broadcasts, reading competing newspaper accounts, hearing political speeches, and trying to decide whether events overseas represented another European crisis or something far more dangerous.

//The Wire//2300Z October 1, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CHINA HALTS ALL FUEL EXPORTS. MIGRANT STUDENT RIOTS CONTINUE IN FRANCE, HUNDREDS ARRESTED AS MOB ATTACKS REMAIN CONSTANT. ENERGY DEPARTMENT FILES CONTRACT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 40 MILLION BARREL RELEASE FROM THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Europe: The fuel crisis continues to deteriorate. This morning the White House requested France and Germany to tap into their emergency diesel reserves, to ease high prices. The proposal as described would release around 120 million barrels of diesel from the strategic reserves of EU member states over the next 6 months. Analyst Comment: So far, this is not a formalized demand, but rather an indirect request made by the White House. No European nation has officially responded to the idea, but many mainstream media reports suggest that the indirect threat has been made of cutting off diesel exports to noncompliant nations.France: Mass riots continue around the nation. Several days ago, protests began at schools around the country due to long schooldays and declining infrastructure. After the initial low-level protests began in Paris, civil unrest spread throughout the nation. This morning, limited protests and arson incidents had spread to Belgium, with students beginning to conduct similar protests there.Analyst Comment: This initially started small but after some vandalism took place on the first night, the situation snowballed from there to be more of an African uprising than a simple school schedule dispute. Now, a substantial number of the participants of the attacks are visibly not of French ancestry...most of the arson attacks are being conducted by the children of African migrants. Throughout this afternoon, the riots have expanded to include other non-student migrant enclaves. The mayor of Saint Dennis, Bally Bagayoko (who is ethnically Malian) joined students in setting fire to a trash can in the street, encouraging them to destroy more infrastructure. Many school officials and police officers have been attacked by violent mobs, and several hundred arrests have been made so far nationwide. As it stands, this situation is already very violent, and is only likely to increase in severity over the next few days.Far East: Last night, China suspended all exports of fuel for the month of October, effective immediately. Hong Kong and Macau have been granted an exemption, but all other export partners will receive zero fuel from China in October.Analyst Comment: This move will probably affect the decision that the United States has been weighing regarding halting diesel exports. China is not a major exporter of petroleum products, but Singapore and the Philippines are major importers of diesel from China, which is now completely cut off. Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are also likely to be heavily affected by the halting of Chinese exports.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Yesterday the Department of Energy authorized an emergency release of 40 million barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). This is an attempt to retry a sale that was initially offered in June, that did not pan out because oil companies did not want to commit to the sale when prices were at new heights.As a reminder, SPR releases are really loans. When a private oil company is given oil from the SPR to sell on the open market, they have to replace it with more oil than they took out. Now that the market is in a disastrous state, a lot of oil companies have not wanted to take on that obligation, because they think that by the time they have to re-fill that loan, it won't be financially viable (because oil will be more expensive than it is now). Since the SPR has been drained heavily over the past few months, the current levels sit at roughly 283.8 million barrels.As a result, if petroleum companies take up this contract for all 40 million barrels, and don't replace it soon enough, SPR levels will probably bounce below the Congressionally mandated limit of 252 million barrels. Whether or not companies will indeed take this contract is up in the air, but as it stands emergency levels are being approached, and concerns are growing regarding the structural integrity of the SPR caverns housing America's emergency oil supply.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

This week James is joined Sir Chris Hoy, who if you haven't heard of him was a pretty good cyclist in his day. Chris won six Olympic gold medals and one silver on the track, spanning four Olympic Games including that incredible week at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where Chris won golds in the Team Sprint, Individual Sprint and Keirin as Team GB notched up a staggering 14 cycling medals, cementing Britain as a cycling powerhouse and putting cycling into the mainstream in the process.In this episode, Chris discusses that day in Beijing as well as many other memorable moments, like sitting trackside in Athens watching world records get smashed over and over until it was his turn to compete; turning up in Japan to learn to race Keirin at Japanese Keirin school; a love of coffee that meant he never travelled anywhere without his espresso machine and grinder, and his even bigger love and respect for cycling compatriot and maverick record breaker, Graeme Obree; and which of his teammates rode with different length cranks without even noticing.Chris also talks about his Stage 4 cancer diagnosis and how prostate cancer affects men and what men can do to catch it early. We also talk about how you can support Chris's annual charity ride, Tour de 4, which raises money for cancer research and care, and which this year saw 191 riders with Stage 4 cancer join thousands more as they cycled and raised nearly £3 million for charity, taking Tour de 4's total to a staggering £5.8 million in two years.You can check your risk of prostate cancer in under 30 seconds at prostatecancer.org/risk-checker and you can donate to Tour de 4, or sign up for next year's event at tourde4.comChat begins at 11:10.----------------This episode is brought to you by Rouvy, the indoor riding platform that makes indoor rides look and feel real, from smashing up the Sa Calobra to group rides around Vietnam to Rouvy Fest, which this year takes place between 12th and 25th October and will include a host of special group rides including tackling Mount Teide in Tenerife, riding the shores and hill of Lake Garda in Italy and puffing up dust on the Strade Bianche chalky road of Tuscany. All this plus special ride guests telling stories and answering questions as they pedal, challenges, rewards and giveaways, and the Rouvy Fest Race, a huge single race where the competitive spirit meets fun and inclusive vibes.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Miongoni mwa mikutano iliyochukua nafasi kubwa wakati wa Mjadala Mkuu wa ngazi ya juu wa Kikao cha 81 cha Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa , UNGA81 ni kuhusu Akili Mnembaa u AI. Pamoja na changamoto zake lakini AI inauweza mkubwa wa kusaidia jamii kutatua changamoto na hata kuondoa taarifa potofu. Waandishi wa habari hawakuachwa nyuma nao walikuwa na mikutano kadhaa kujadili namna watakavyotumia taalum yao kuisaidi jamii. Mwenzangu Leah Mushi amezungumza na Rais wa wahariri wa habari barani Afrika Churchill Otieno aliyehudhuria mikutano kuhusu ubora wa habari pamoja na akili mnemba AI kwa tasnia ya habari. Kwanza anaanza kwa kueleza kubwa lililozungumzwa kwenye mikutano hiyo? Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari. • Usiku wa kuamkia jana Jumatano kituo cha kutibu Ebola kwenye kituo cha mpito cha kuhifadhi wakimbizi huko Kigonze, karibu na mji wa Bunia jimboni Ituri, mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, (DRC), kilichomwa moto, wakati huu ambapo kimesalia kitupu kutokana na wakimbizi kukimbia mashambulio ya mara kwa mara kutoka makundi yaliyojihami.. • Leo ikiwa ni siku ya wazee duniani wakati huu ikielezwa kwamba kila mtu ni mzee mtarajiwa, na ujumbe wa mwaka huu ukiwa “Enzi ya Maisha Marefu: Kufikiria Upya Mifumo kwa Maisha Marefu,” Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, António Guterres, amesema ongezeko la watu wanaoishi muda mrefu linahitaji serikali na taasisi kubadili mifumo ya kijamii na kiuchumi ili kukidhi mahitaji yao. Guterres amesema maisha marefu yatakuwa ni mafanikio makubwa kwa jamii pale tu yanapowezeshwa na maendeleo ya huduma za afya na mifumo ya ulinzi wa kijamii. • Na leo pia ni siku ya kahawa duniani, ikiwa ni maadhimisho ya kwanza tangu yapitishwe na Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa mwaka huu. Lengo ni kuangazia zao hilo ambalo sio tu kiburudisho bali pia mbinu ya kujipatia kipato kwa kaya zipatato milioni 25 kwenye nchi zinazoendelea. Brazili, Viet Nam, Colombia zinaongoza kwa uzalishaji wa kahawa, ilhali Marekani na Muungano wa Ulaya zinaongoza kwa kuagiza na kunywa kahawa.” Mwenyeji wako ni Flora Nducha, karibu!

Si tienes un VPS con los puertos 80 y 443 abiertos, este episodio te interesa. Cada día, bots de todas partes del mundo escanean tu servidor buscando una rendija por la que colarse. La solución no es cerrar las puertas, sino poner un portero que sepa quién entra y quién se queda fuera. Ese portero se llama Shuul, y es el WAF casero del que te hablo en este episodio.Las cifras hablan solas. En las últimas 24 horas, mi VPS recibió 921.000 peticiones. De ellas, bloqueé 650.000. Eso es un 70% de tráfico no deseado. Y no solo hablo de bots escaneando puertos, también de intentos de acceso a rutas de WordPress, phpMyAdmin y vulnerabilidades conocidas. Shuul se encarga de filtrar todo eso antes de que llegue a tus servicios.En el episodio te cuento cómo funciona Shuul por dentro. Tiene dos pipelines independientes. El primero es el WAF, que actúa como forward auth de Traefik: cuando llega una petición, Traefik le pregunta a Shuul si la deja pasar. Aquí se evalúan reglas por IP, país, user-agent, URI y método HTTP, con pesos para decidir si se permite o se deniega. El segundo pipeline es el Jail, un sistema de rate limiting que actúa después de que el backend responde: si alguien acumula demasiados 401, 403 o 404, se le banea la IP con ventanas deslizantes y tiempos de ban que escalan.La arquitectura es ligera. Backend en Rust con Axum, frontend en React con TypeScript y shadcn/ui, y un pequeño plugin en Go que hace de reportero para Traefik. Todo montado en Docker con un binario estático de unos 20 megas. La base de datos es SQLite — no necesitas PostgreSQL para esto. La autenticación del panel la hago con OIDC a través de PocketID, nada de usuario y contraseña tradicionales.También te explico por qué descarté fail2ban. No me gusta porque es un proceso en Python que parsea logs. Shuul obtiene los datos directamente de Traefik, sin escrituras a disco, y trabaja a nivel HTTP, no a nivel de firewall de red. Además puedes crear reglas muy granulares: desde permitir una URL concreta para todo el mundo mientras bloqueas por país en el resto, hasta templates preconfigurados para SQL injection, escáneres de directorios o protección contra vulnerabilidades web.Y todo esto acompañado de un dashboard con gráficos en tiempo real, rankings por países bloqueados y logs en directo. Vamos, que no le falta detalle.Si tienes un servidor en casa o un VPS y estás harto de los bots, este episodio te va a venir como anillo al dedo. Shuul es código abierto, está en GitHub, y lo puedes desplegar en minutos con Docker Compose.Capítulos del episodio:0:00 - Introducción: Shuul, el guardián de tus datos2:30 - El problema: bots de Rusia, China y Vietnam escaneando tu VPS3:50 - Cifras impactantes: 921.000 peticiones, 650.000 bloqueadas en 24h5:30 - Por qué Traefik no basta y cómo nace Shuul6:30 - Arquitectura: backend en Rust, frontend en React y un módulo en Go8:30 - Pipeline WAF: forward auth, geolocalización cacheada y reglas regex10:40 - Pipeline Jail: Shuul Reporter y bloqueo por intentos fallidos13:00 - Configuración, variables de entorno e integración con Traefik16:00 - Reglas, pesos, templates: Allow, Deny, ubicaciones y nodos Tor18:30 - Dashboard, logs en tiempo real y reflexión finalMás información y enlaces en las notas del episodio

This episode unpacks what strategy really is, the seven questions every strategist must ask themselves before initiating a military operation, and why war stays so stubbornly unpredictable.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: Eliot A. Cohen, Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and author of The Strategist: How to Think About War and Politics   We Discuss: What strategy can actually accomplish, and whether the outcome of war is ultimately a matter of chance. Why Eliot Cohen adopts a deliberately narrow definition of strategy—and why he has little use for the fashionable term “grand strategy.” The distinction between strategy and planning, and why execution is what separates a strategist from a planner. The seven questions every strategist must ask, from “what else is going on?” to “what is your theory of victory?” Why understanding the adversary—“Who are those guys?”—is a recurring American blind spot, including in the Iran war.  How surprise, groupthink, and the limits of human judgment repeatedly derail even the best-led war efforts. What Carl von Clausewitz meant by describing war as the continuation of politics by other means. Why a classical liberal education may be the best training for judgment in an age of AI.   Mentioned on the Episode: James M. Lindsay, "The 10 Best and 10 Worst U.S. Foreign Policy Decisions," CFR.org Carl von Clausewitz, On War, Princeton University Press Eliot A.

This week on The Breggin Hour, Peter and I sat down with one of the more wonderful men we know: Sheriff Richard Mack, founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, the Arizona sheriff who took the federal government all the way to the Supreme Court over the Brady Bill—and won. He has a new book. The title is deliberately offensive. He said so himself, and he meant it that way. The Democrat Murder of America: Demagoguery in the First Degree. The cover is a jackass in a patriotic hat, a knife in its hoof, stabbing the Statue of Liberty in the back. Sheriff Mack admitted it is horrible. That was the point. He wanted your attention. The book site is murderofamerica.com. There is an ebook at $14.92, an audiobook at $17.76, and a paperback at $26.76. They planned those numbers. Columbus. 1776. 2026. This is not a campaign pamphlet for a party. Sheriff Mack said it is not a pro-Trump book and not a pro-Republican book. It is a history book about what is being done to the country from within—and a manual for people who still believe the Constitution and the individual human being are worth defending. You cannot have communism and freedom That was the sentence he kept coming back to. Those philosophies are not cousins. They are not “different paths to the same good.” They are the antithesis of each other. Communism does not recognize civil rights. It does not honor the person. It tells you how many children you may have, what you may say, what you may own, and what you must obey. The promise of forced equality is a lie. The individual is erased. Peter and I have spent years saying the same thing in another language: collectivism—religious, political, or “scientific”—is the opposite of Christianity and of the American founding. The First Amendment begins with faith for a reason. A Creator who made each person in His image is not compatible with a state that claims ownership of the soul and rejects the individuality and unique qualities of each person. Sheriff Mack asked a question the media will not ask the new crop of openly socialist and communist candidates: What will you do with the people who refuse to cooperate? We already know part of the answer. We lived it. COVID was the rehearsal On the show, we talked about the last few years as if they were ancient history. They are not. Children locked inside. Playgrounds closed. Churches shuttered. Babies staring at masked faces for the first years of life. Australians held for months in camps. Planes on which you could remove the mask only to eat—so Sheriff Mack ate peanuts for hours, until they changed the rule to force the little ritual of pull-down, bite, pull-up. Control for control's sake. They learned that a “crisis of the day” can make Americans surrender schools, businesses, worship, and the Constitution. Justice Scalia, in the very case Sheriff Mack won, wrote that the Constitution protects us from our own best intentions. It divides power so we will resist the temptation to concentrate it as an expedient solution to the emergency of the moment. Never let a crisis go to waste. That is not wisdom. That is a method. If you think that chapter is over, Sheriff Mack's warning is simple: wait until the people who admired that machinery hold still more offices. **History they hoped you would forget** The book is full of names younger Americans were never taught. Nikita Khrushchev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, told Americans they were gullible. You will not accept communism outright, he said. We will feed you small doses of socialism until you wake up and find you already have communism. We will not need to invade. We will destroy you from within. We will bury you. Sheriff Mack's argument is that a political movement inside the Democrat Party is fulfilling that threat—not because every Democrat is a villain, he said, but because the party's dominant direction is to replace the Constitution with something closer to Marx. He talked about Dorothy Kilgallen, the What's My Line television game show panelist and journalist who interviewed Jack Ruby and then died the same night her JFK notes disappeared—barbiturates and alcohol, ruled an accident, the same pattern as Marilyn Monroe. Vince Foster. The sudden expansion of Vietnam after JFK was gone. The deep state is not a new invention. He talked about CNN's Sarah Sidner, who came to his daughter's house, recorded eighty-five minutes, heard again and again why they were even talking—his Supreme Court victory against the Clinton Justice Department—and then went on Anderson Cooper and mentioned none of it. Peter and I know that pattern. We have been walked out of buildings we were invited into. YouTube banned us for life after we announced *COVID-19 and the Global Predators*. The media is not a referee. It is a participant. Elections, cities, and the Senate Sheriff Mack described a country in which a tourist from Buenos Aires can walk into a New York polling place, register without ID and without English, vote, and fly home to brag. He described the open talk of abolishing or neutering the Senate and packing the Court—so that a handful of giant cities decide the fate of small states. Destroy the Constitution, he said, and you destroy the country. He also said something we hear too rarely: there are good Democrats, including Christians, who have been lied to. The book is written to be handed to them. Start with the epilogue, he suggested. Then talk. That is not hatred. That is an invitation to wake up from indoctrination. The smartest person in the room, he said, is the one who can recognize his own brainwashing. A peaceful manual, while peace is still possible Peter's closing on the hour was short: buy the book. You are not only buying pages. You are supporting one of the great living voices for constitutional liberty in this country. Sheriff Mack and co-author Dan Perkins talked, while they were writing, about what happens if the book actually gains traction. They have already been smeared. They know the next step. Perkins told him he hoped their wives would be taken care of. That is not melodrama. That is what it costs now to say plain things in public. The alternative they offer is still peaceful: know the history, refuse the next crisis-of-the-day, restore local accountability, protect the sheriff's oath to the Constitution rather than to Washington, and come together as good people who still love this country. We are of a generation that did duck-and-cover, that watched people shot trying to leave East Germany, that saw COVID used as a nationwide obedience drill. Younger people have been propagandized in school and have not seen the same failures with their own eyes. That is why a book like this matters. It is a history lesson and a warning in one. Christmas will be here before we think about it. Give this book as a gift of freedom—one for you, one for the family member who still believes the slogans. The website again: **murderofamerica.com** *The Breggin Hour* airs on America Out Loud. We will keep talking. We refuse to stop. The truth still sets people free.

Former Hell's Angels enforcer Joby Walters shares his incredible journey from outlaw life to Jesus, redemption, and freedom. Listen to his powerful story of identity, forgiveness, and grace.What happens when the life you thought would give you freedom, brotherhood, and belonging becomes the very thing holding you captive?Joby Walters has lived a story most of us could only imagine. A Vietnam veteran, cowboy, former Hell's Angels enforcer, and man who once faced decades in federal prison, Joby spent years searching for identity, family, respect, and belonging.But his greatest transformation didn't come from changing his circumstances. It came when Jesus met him in the middle of his darkness.Joby's story is a powerful reminder that the things we chase for belonging and freedom can never satisfy the deepest places in our hearts.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:18] Topic and Joby Walters' Introduction[04:25] Growing Up in Troubled Times[05:40] The Seed of Gang Life[07:58] Chasing Identity[08:38] Searching for Family[12:15] From Biker to Cowboy[13:30] Running From Himself[14:37] Breaking Free From Addiction[15:26] How He Met the Hell's Angels[18:46] Meeting Sonny Barger[21:50] Becoming a Hell's Angel[23:15] The False Promise of Brotherhood[26:07] Prison and the Outlaw Life [27:03] When Jesus Started Breaking Through[28:12] The Box That Changed His Life[29:50] The Moment Everything Changed[33:00] Knowing Jesus & Sharing Him [35:20] The Mission Behind Cut Free [38:06] What People Are Really Searching For[40:19] “I'm Too Far Gone”[41:10] Joby's Prayer for the AudienceResources mentioned:

In Today's Episode... What happens when the things you use to heal actually break you? Jordan sits down with her friend Grace Jones , co-founder of Heavenly Dew Naturals, to talk about the hidden traps of the New Age world. Grace opens up about leaving a judgmental church background for the promises of yoga, meditation, and manifestation. But when severe anxiety hit her, her search for a cure took a dangerous turn—leading to intense breathwork training in India and a severe psychological break that left her hospitalized in Vietnam. Grace shares how she survived that crisis, healed her old church hurt, and finally found mental freedom through a deliverance prayer session. Jordan and Grace talk about the exhaustion of trying to save yourself, how radical forgiveness physically heals the body, and how they both traded the constant anxiety of manifestation for the real peace of resting in Jesus.   Connect with Grace Website Instagram   More About Grace Jones   Grace is the founder of Heavenly Dew Naturals , a clean skincare brand born out of a desire for simplicity, trust, and real skin restoration. Before launching her company, Grace spent years navigating high-stress environments, including working in private protection as a bodyguard. That intense, demanding career path initially led her to seek out wellness and meditation simply as a way to decompress and manage physical stress.   After stepping away from both the corporate protection world and her subsequent journey through unregulated spiritual circles, Grace completely pivoted her life. Frustrated by a market flooded with overly complicated skincare products containing long, unpronounceable chemical lists, she began whipping up natural formulations directly in her own kitchen.    Today, Grace runs Heavenly Dew Naturals alongside her husband, focusing on small-batch, faith-inspired products designed to help women nourish and heal their skin without fear or overwhelm. Her mission is rooted in making life simpler, stepping away from constant striving, and building a business grounded in authentic, transparent care.   Reminder: Subscribe, Rate & Review this podcast!   Whatever platform you are listening on, make sure to follow or subscribe & sign up for notifications for when weekly episodes drop every week!

What happens to a military family when the person they love doesn't come home? In this powerful episode of Sisters-in-Service Cat Corchado explores the human cost of military service, survivor benefits, military casualty classifications, and the questions families can face when a service member dies during military operations. This conversation is deeply personal for Cat. As a military brat, she remembers her father leaving for Vietnam—and the fear of wondering whether he would come home. Years later, Cat became a military spouse, served on active duty, and became a veteran herself. This isn't just about policies or terminology. It's about the families who wait, worry, sacrifice, grieve, and rebuild. Because a uniform may belong to one person—but the sacrifice is carried by an entire family.

A promise made to a mom at graduation turned into a time capsule of war, grief, humor, and survival. I sat down with author Don Eggspuehler, a former US Marine Corps pilot and Vietnam veteran, to talk about Letters to Mom, a book built from real letters he mailed home week after week, long before email, texts, or video calls existed. Those pages weren't written with hindsight or a public audience in mind, which is exactly why they land with such force today. Doug walked us through flying combat missions out of Nam Phong, Thailand, living in jungle tents, and heading into Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. He shared what it felt like to run night missions into North Vietnam under total radio silence, and why fear often shows up after the mission, not during it. We also talked about what happened after he came home: losing friends, feeling bitter, feeling unwelcome, and carrying survivor's guilt for years, plus the unexpected relief that came from rereading his own words decades later. If this conversation moves you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a fellow book lover.

"If you go back three of four years, you'd have expected Singapore to take the lead on such a regionally important project - but now it's Vietnam." That seems significant. With three quarters of 2026 completed, pan-Asian air travel networks look rather different from the start of the year. The 9th month of the year, September, featured a raft of intriguing developments across South East Asia, plus China, Australia and Canada. On this week's show, Gary and Hannah track back through a highly consequential month and the implications for the crucial end-of-year travel period and into 2027. En route, we assess Vietnam's app-based ID card integration pilot project with Singapore and Laos for air travellers at two airports, and Vietjet's ambitions in contrasting global markets: the US and Australia. Plus, we address the impacts of catastrophic flooding in Bangkok and throughout Thailand, the grim continuation of fire-smoke haze blighting Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, while typhoon season proves deadly in Japan. Plus, why is Air Canada opening up to Vietnam but closing down to Singapore? And will the accelerating race to open one of the world's largest new airports meet its end of year deadline?  

Welcome to the Financial Freedom & Wealth Trailblazers Podcast! In today's episode, we're talking about how to get started with real estate investing using the rent-by-the-room strategy. Ryan Chaw's grandpa faced discrimination in the 1950s while trying to buy his first property, but he and his grandma persevered. He eventually purchased three rentals in the SF Bay Area, using the income to help pay for Ryan and his brother's college tuition, a gift Ryan never took for granted. His example inspired Ryan to build a legacy of his own.Ryan graduated as a pharmacist in 2016 and worked in infectious diseases and pediatrics. The skills he gained in healthcare translated well into real estate, especially in managing people and creating quality living spaces.Ryan began buying one single-family home per year and built a reputation for high-quality student housing near his local college. By renting the room, he doubled cash flow compared to traditional rentals. By age 28, Ryan became a millionaire, earning multiple six figures in student rental income.Today, Ryan leads a community of creative real estate investors who focus on one great deal at a time while providing affordable, high-quality student housing. In his free time, Ryan loves traveling to absorb global culture, with highlights including Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Belize, and Europe.Connect with Ryan Here: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanchaw1https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-chaw-pharmd-0a9995187/https://www.instagram.com/ryanchaw1/https://www.facebook.com/ryan.chaw/https://www.tiktok.com/@ryanchawrealestatehttps://www.newbierealestateinvesting.comGrab the freebie here: www.newbierealestateinvesting.com/guide===================================If you enjoyed this episode, remember to hit the like button and subscribe.

Welcome back to Big Talk! It’s the political scandal so infamous that, 50 years later, we’re still adding “gate” to the end of every controversy. But Watergate didn’t begin with a break-in. In Part One, we’re going back to Richard Nixon’s rise to power, the lies America was told about the Vietnam War, the explosive leak of the Pentagon Papers, and the increasingly secretive White House determined to stop its secrets getting out. This is how we got to Watergate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Richard Nixon wins re-election in one of the biggest landslides in American history. Less than two years later, he becomes the first and only U.S. president to resign. So, how did it all fall apart? In Part Two, we get into Nixon’s growing paranoia, the creation of CREEP, the increasingly unhinged schemes of the people around him, and the break-in at the Watergate complex that started the unraveling. We take you inside what actually happened that night, before following the investigation, the secret White House tapes and the cover-up that ultimately reached all the way to the President. This is the break-in, the cover-up and the bitter end of Richard Nixon’s presidency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the 1960s, America was fighting two wars at once: one in Vietnam and another at home over civil rights.Acclaimed journalist and author Wil Haygood grew up watching both unfold. Young men from his Columbus, Ohio, neighborhood disappeared into the war in Vietnam while, at home, the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the unrest that followed brought the struggle for racial equality directly to his streets.In Part 1 of this three-part series, Wil joins us to explore the story behind his book, The War Within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home — and why the histories of the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement cannot truly be understood separately.We also meet two Black veterans whose lives illustrate that intersection.George Forrest grew up in segregated Maryland, attended Morgan State University and became an Army officer at a time when Black officers were still routinely confronted with discrimination. In 1963, while stationed with the Old Guard at Fort Myer, he found himself on alert for possible civil unrest during the March on Washington — unaware that his own parents were among the marchers.Dorothy “Dottie” Harris knew from childhood that she wanted to become a nurse. After serving in the Navy and completing nursing school, she joined the Army and volunteered for Vietnam, where she would eventually care for some of the war's most severely wounded.Their stories reveal the complicated meaning of military service for Black Americans during this era — a source of opportunity, responsibility and belonging, but also an institution that reflected many of the inequalities of the country they were serving.Wil also examines the draft, Project 100,000, and the disproportionate burden placed on Black and poor Americans as the United States searched for more men to send to Vietnam.This is Part 1 of The War Within a War. In Part 2, George Forrest goes into combat in one of the war's deadliest battles, Dottie Harris confronts the human cost of the war from a field hospital, and Wil Haygood explores how Black and white service members depended on one another for survival in Vietnam.Featured in this episode:Wil Haygood — journalist and author of The War Within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at HomeGeorge Forrest — U.S. Army veteranDorothy “Dottie” Harris — U.S. Army nurse and Vietnam veteranLearn more:Visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund at vvmf.orgConnect with VVMF:Facebook: facebook.com/VietnamVeteransMemorialFundInstagram: instagram.com/vnveteransmemorialYouTube: youtube.com/@VietnamVeteransMemorialFund

Navy Squadron Commander turned air medical pilot explains how armed helicopters quietly shaped modern special operations—and why the missions most people never see are often the ones that matter most.This episode I sit down with friend of the show Kit Brown for a wide-ranging story about flying, war, risk, and reinvention. From tracking Russian submarines and supporting SEAL teams to rebuilding a decommissioned squadron and flying rescue missions in Iraq and the Pacific, Kit traces a career built around doing hard things when the stakes are highest.You'll discover:How Navy helicopter pilots are trained, assigned, and moved through the fleetWhy the Sea Wolves in Vietnam became the blueprint for later Navy Reserve special operations aviationWhat it actually takes to track submarines from a helicopter using sonobuoysHow HCS-84 and HSC-85 ended up supporting SEALs in Iraq and beyondWhy the Navy kept shutting down and resurrecting the same mission over and overWhat makes training for rescue work so different from doing the real thingKit also opens up about the personal cost of a life spent deploying, the pressure of being gone so often, and the strange challenge of leaving one identity behind and building another.This episode is for anyone who loves military history, aviation, special operations, or the behind-the-scenes story of how elite rescue and support missions really work. It's also for listeners thinking about retirement, reinvention, or what happens when the job you've trained your whole life for finally changes. By the end, you'll understand why some of the most important military jobs are the least visible—and why the people who do them often miss the work long after they've left it. If you want cool history, real sea stories, and a rare look at the Navy's unconventional helicopter mission, this one delivers. 

“The Americans, and then Europe following like sheep behind, unpicked everything that was meant to keep people safe.”Veteran journalist and author Victoria Brittain speaks to Palestine Deep Dive's Jehan Alfarra about the long shadow of Guantánamo Bay and the so-called “War on Terror”, and what its legacy reveals about Gaza today.Brittain has spent decades reporting from Vietnam, Africa, the Middle East and Palestine. Her book Shadow Lives: The Forgotten Women of the War on Terror explored the lives of women and families left behind when men were imprisoned without charge, often in systems built around secrecy, exceptional law and indefinite detention.The conversation explores what Guantánamo represented, how extraordinary measures can gradually become normalised, and the striking and frightening parallels with the treatment of Palestinians today.

In this episode of True Blue Conversations, I sit down with Peter Rock, an 8 RAR National Serviceman, Vietnam veteran and recipient of the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross. Peter was conscripted into the Australian Army and, after completing his basic training, was posted to 8th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (8 RAR), where he served as a machine gunner. Peter takes us back to his time in the jungles of Vietnam, including the Battle of the Long Hai campaign in 1970, where his actions saw him awarded the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross. He speaks openly about the battle, and the realities of fighting in the jungle. But Peter's story doesn't end when he left Vietnam. He also talks honestly about the challenges of transitioning out of the military, coming home from a war zone, and adjusting to life after service. This conversation follows last week's episode with Peter's platoon commander, John Brien, whom Peter served under in Vietnam. It's a raw and honest conversation about service, combat, sacrifice, wounds and the journey home. HOST : Adam Blum GUEST : Peter Rock Editor : Kyle Watkins

Ke Huy Quan and his family fled Vietnam when he was a child, eventually finding refuge in Los Angeles, where he went on to become a child movie star in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies. Quan got together with Willie Geist at Phoenix Palace in New York City's Chinatown to discuss his journey from refugee to Hollywood star, the years he spent away from acting, what inspired him to return to the screen and his Oscar-winning role in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

En mi caso, ya he vuelto a la rutina aquí en Luxemburgo después de esas dos semanas de vacaciones que te comenté. Hemos tenido tiempo de estar con nuestros hijos, de pasar unos días a la orilla del mar y de hacer todas las cosas pendientes que teníamos en España. Y volviendo a las vacaciones, en esa época del año es muy habitual ver mercadillos en zonas turísticas. Un mercadillo es un sitio al aire libre donde se venden distintos objetos, desde ropa hasta joyas. Y algunos de esos objetos no son auténticos, sino que son falsos. Están falsificados. Parecen auténticos, pero no lo son. Así que, déjame empezar con una pregunta. ¿Alguna vez has comprado un producto falsificado? Y no me refiero necesariamente a un bolso de lujo de miles de euros. Puede ser una camiseta de fútbol, unas gafas de sol, un reloj, unos auriculares o cualquier producto que imitara a una marca conocida. Si te parece, contesto yo. En 2024 hicimos un viaje a Vietnam para celebrar los 25 años de nuestro matrimonio y los 50 que cumplíamos tanto mi mujer como yo. Era el momento ideal para hacer un gran viaje. Pues bien, allí compramos un abrigo de la marca North Face en una tienda que vendía productos de esa marca tan conocida. El precio era bastante asequible y no preguntamos si el abrigo era auténtico, aunque nos fuimos con la impresión de que era falso, claro, porque los auténticos cuestan mucho más dinero. Lo curioso es que mucha gente respondería que no, que nunca han comprado un producto falsificado. Pero, en realidad, las falsificaciones están mucho más presentes en nuestra vida de lo que pensamos. Como te decía, a veces las vemos en mercadillos, en puestos callejeros o en tiendas sospechosamente baratas. Pero hoy en día también aparecen en Internet, en redes sociales y en páginas web que, a primera vista, parecen completamente normales. Y estamos hablando de un negocio enorme. Tan enorme que las falsificaciones provocan pérdidas de más de mil millones de euros al año en España en sectores como la moda, la joyería, los bolsos y los relojes. Además, parece que comprar productos falsificados es más habitual de lo que muchos imaginan. Según los datos europeos, alrededor de uno de cada ocho ciudadanos reconoce haber comprado alguna vez una copia de forma consciente. Entre los jóvenes, la cifra es todavía mayor: aproximadamente uno de cada cuatro. Y aquí hay algo importante. Mucha gente piensa que el único problema es que las marcas pierden dinero. Pero no es tan simple. Muchos de estos productos no pasan controles de calidad, pueden estar fabricados con materiales de peor calidad y, además, las autoridades llevan años advirtiendo de que detrás de algunas falsificaciones hay redes criminales organizadas, como sucede en la noticia que vamos a escuchar ahora mismo. Por darte alguna pista, habla de una operación que nos muestra la verdadera dimensión de un negocio ilegal que mueve enormes cantidades de dinero y que sigue creciendo gracias a la facilidad con la que hoy se pueden vender estos productos. Pertenece a Radio Nacional de España. Escucha con atención. “Parada ahora en Baleares. En Mallorca la Guardia Civil ha intervenido nada menos que 115.000 joyas falsificadas. Las piezas eran reproducciones de conocidas marcas de lujo que se distribuían al por mayor y al por menor. Cuatro personas están siendo investigadas por su presunta autoría de un delito contra la propiedad industrial. Paula Bendito. Miles de pulseras, collares, pendientes, anillos y brazaletes que imitaban los diseños de marcas internacionales de joyería de lujo. De haberse vendido como artículos originales, tendrían un valor de cientos de millones de euros. Es la estimación que hacen las marcas afectadas. Sus especialistas se desplazaron a Mallorca desde Madrid para colaborar en la valoración pericial de todo el material. Es la mayor cantidad de joyas falsas intervenidas en Baleares. Más de 115.000 piezas que la Guardia Civil, tras meses de investigación, ha encontrado en una nave industrial de Palma. Hay cuatro personas investigadas por participar presuntamente en la trama.” Esta última palabra, trama, puede ser el argumento de una película o de un libro, pero aquí significa otra cosa. Enseguida llegamos ahí. Pero vamos a empezar por el principio. Parada: En la radio, una parada es un cambio de tema o de lugar dentro del programa. Es como decir: "ahora vamos a hablar de otra cosa". Ejemplos: Hacemos una parada en Francia para conocer una noticia curiosa. Nuestra siguiente parada es Argentina, donde veremos otra historia interesante. Intervenir: Cuando la policía interviene productos, significa que los encuentra y los confisca porque cree que están relacionados con una actividad ilegal. Ejemplos: La policía intervino miles de productos falsificados. Las autoridades intervinieron una gran cantidad de dinero. Al por mayor: Vender al por mayor significa vender grandes cantidades de productos a otras empresas o comerciantes, no directamente al cliente final. Ejemplos: Esta empresa vende ropa al por mayor. Compran los productos al por mayor y luego los revenden. Al por menor: Vender al por menor significa vender directamente a las personas que van a usar el producto. Ejemplos: La tienda vende al por menor. Puedes comprar una sola unidad porque venden al por menor. Presunta: Presunta significa "supuesta". Se usa cuando algo todavía no ha sido demostrado y sigue siendo una sospecha. Ejemplos: La policía investiga a una persona por su presunta participación en el delito. Hablan de una presunta estafa porque el caso aún está siendo investigado. Pulsera: Una pulsera es una joya o accesorio que se lleva alrededor de la muñeca. Ejemplos: Me regalaron una pulsera por mi cumpleaños. Lleva una pulsera de plata en la mano derecha. Collar: Un collar es una joya que se lleva alrededor del cuello. Ejemplos: Compró un collar para hacer un regalo. El collar tenía una piedra de color azul. Brazalete: Un brazalete es parecido a una pulsera, pero normalmente es más grande, más rígido o más llamativo. Ejemplos: La actriz llevaba un gran brazalete dorado. Encontraron varios brazaletes entre las joyas falsas. Valoración pericial: Es el análisis que hacen los expertos para determinar qué es un objeto, cuánto vale o si es auténtico o falso. Ejemplos: Los especialistas realizaron una valoración pericial de las joyas. La valoración pericial confirmó que los relojes eran falsificados. Trama: Una trama es un grupo de personas que actúan juntas para realizar una actividad ilegal o sospechosa. Ejemplos: La policía descubrió una trama dedicada al fraude. Los investigadores sospechan que detrás del negocio había una trama organizada. “Parada ahora en Baleares. En Mallorca la Guardia Civil ha intervenido nada menos que 115.000 joyas falsificadas.

Hay cuatro personas investigadas por participar presuntamente en la trama.” Ahora, con todo más claro, vamos con una versión de la noticia cambiando el mayor número de palabras por sinónimos. Aquí va. La Guardia Civil ha confiscado la increíble cantidad de 115.000 piezas de joyería falsificadas en Mallorca. Se trataba de copias de conocidas firmas de lujo que se comercializaban tanto en grandes cantidades como directamente a los consumidores. Cuatro individuos están siendo investigados por su supuesta participación en un delito relacionado con la protección de marcas y diseños registrados. Entre el material hallado había miles de pulseras, colgantes, pendientes, sortijas y brazaletes que reproducían los modelos de prestigiosas marcas internacionales de joyería. Según los cálculos realizados por las empresas perjudicadas, si estas piezas se hubieran vendido como auténticas, su precio total habría alcanzado varios cientos de millones de euros. Para analizar el material, expertos de las marcas afectadas viajaron desde Madrid hasta Mallorca y colaboraron en la tasación y evaluación técnica de las piezas encontradas. Se trata de la mayor incautación de joyas falsas realizada hasta la fecha en Baleares. Después de varios meses de pesquisas, los agentes localizaron más de 115.000 artículos en un almacén industrial de Palma. La investigación continúa y, por el momento, hay cuatro sospechosos vinculados presuntamente a esta red dedicada a la distribución de productos falsificados.

Cuando vemos un collar de lujo que cuesta 3.000, 5.000 o incluso 10.000 euros, ¿realmente cuesta tanto fabricarlo? Pues la respuesta, en la mayoría de los casos, es no. A ver, no estoy diciendo que sea barato. Si hablamos de oro, diamantes o piedras preciosas, evidentemente los materiales tienen un valor. Además, hay diseñadores, artesanos, transportistas, vendedores... Hay muchas personas trabajando detrás de cada producto. Pero aun así, el coste de fabricación suele ser bastante menor que el precio que vemos en la tienda. Entonces, ¿qué estamos pagando exactamente? Pues muchas veces estamos pagando la marca. Estamos pagando el diseño, la historia de la empresa, su reputación, sus campañas de publicidad, sus tiendas exclusivas y, sobre todo, la sensación de exclusividad. Piensa en algo muy simple. Dos personas pueden llevar un collar bastante parecido. A simple vista, quizá ni siquiera notes la diferencia. Pero uno puede costar 50 euros y otro 5.000. ¿Por qué? Porque el valor no está solamente en el objeto. También está en lo que representa. De hecho, si lo pensamos bien, esa es precisamente la razón por la que existen las falsificaciones. Hay personas que quieren la estética o la imagen de una marca de lujo, pero no quieren, o no pueden, pagar el precio del producto original. Y ahí es donde aparecen las copias. Claro, el problema es que una copia puede parecerse mucho por fuera, pero normalmente no ofrece las mismas garantías, los mismos materiales ni los mismos controles de calidad. Así que, al final, podemos estar de acuerdo o no con los precios de las marcas de lujo, pero una cosa parece clara: cuando alguien compra uno de esos productos, no está pagando únicamente por un collar, un bolso o un reloj. Está pagando también por una marca, una imagen y una idea de exclusividad. Y precisamente por eso hay un mercado tan enorme de productos falsificados en todo el mundo. Porque copiar un objeto es relativamente fácil. Lo difícil es copiar todo lo que una marca ha construido durante décadas. Venga, terminamos ya con el repaso a las palabras y expresiones que hemos analizado hoy. Parada: En la radio, una parada es un cambio de tema o de lugar dentro del programa.

In March 2025, Apple chartered cargo flights to deliver 600 tonnes of iPhones from India to the United States. A year earlier, four in five smartphones that imported to the US came from China. One of the aims of US trade policy has been to decouple the US economy from China. So is the strategy working? Chad Bown (PIIE, CEPR) tells Tim Phillips how he examined the US import data product by product to see how American importers coped with Trump's second trade war. In consumer electronics, many firms quietly built a second supply chain in tariff-exempt countries before 2025, and switched sourcing away from China almost overnight in 2025. But clothing and footwear did not switch, because alternative source countries like Vietnam faced tariffs almost as high. When the US taxes imports from every country, the decoupling strategy gets lost.The research behind this episode:Bown, Chad P. 2026. "How Did Trump's 2025 Trade War Affect the Decoupling of US-China Supply Chains?" CEPR Discussion Paper DP21801 (gated). Forthcoming in Asian Economic Policy Review. To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Chad P. Bown. 2026. "Decoupling from China after Trump's Trade Wars." VoxTalks Economics (podcast).About the guestChad P. Bown is the Reginald Jones Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and a Fellow in the International Trade and Regional Economics programme of the Centre for Economic Policy Research. He was chief economist at the US Department of State from January 2024 to January 2025, and senior economist for international trade and investment on President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers. His research spans trade policy, industrial policy, economic security and supply chains. He co-created the Trade Talks podcast with Soumaya Keynes in 2017, and with Keynes he is co-author of How to Win a Trade War (Simon & Schuster, 2026).Research cited in this episodeThe 2018-19 Section 301 tariffs. In Trump's first term the US imposed tariffs on imports from China in stages, on product lists set under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Lists 1, 2 and 3, mostly intermediate inputs such as auto parts, ended at 25%. List 4A began at 15% and was cut to 7.5% in February 2020 under the Phase One agreement. List 4B, mostly consumer goods such as smartphones, laptops and toys, was delayed "for Christmas season" and never imposed. By the end of the first trade war, roughly two thirds of US imports from China faced new tariffs. Bown's point is that the goods spared in 2018-19 were the ones hit hardest in 2025.The 2025 IEEPA tariffs on China. In February and March 2025, before Liberation Day, the US imposed two rounds of 10% tariffs on all imports from China under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, justified by concerns over fentanyl. For the first time this covered smartphones and other List 4B goods. One of the two was removed in November 2025 after Presidents Trump and Xi met in South Korea.Liberation Day. On 2 April 2025 the US announced tariffs on most of its trading partners, at rates that varied by country. A long list of products, including smartphones, was exempt under Annex II. On 9 April the country rates were paused and a 10% baseline applied while countries negotiated. China's rates escalated after retaliation on both sides; the Liberation Day actions on China alone reached 125% before a truce in Geneva in May. The exemptions matter to the episode. A tariff on China changes sourcing only if the alternatives face a lower one.The August 2025 tariffs on India. The US raised tariffs on India by a further 25 percentage points in August 2025, citing India's purchases of Russian oil. Smartphones were again exempt, so Apple's Indian supply chain stayed tariff free. For some clothing, India ended up facing a larger tariff increase than China.The Supreme Court ruling on IEEPA tariffs. On 20 February 2026 the US Supreme Court ruled that the country-level tariffs imposed under IEEPA were illegal. The Section 232 sectoral tariffs and the Section 301 tariffs on China were not part of the case. The administration removed the IEEPA tariffs and began imposing new ones under other legal authorities, which is why Bown warns that some of the 2025 effects may yet reverse.Apple's alternative supply chain in India. Apple and its contract manufacturers, including Foxconn and Tata Electronics, spent several years building iPhone assembly in India. Patrick McGee tells the story in Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company (Simon & Schuster, 2026). Over the last nine months of 2025, 40% of US smartphone imports came from China and 46% from India. Laptops, monitors and video game consoles moved in a similar way, mostly to Vietnam.Inputs for AI. The paper defines AI inputs using the product codes that Nvidia publishes for export control compliance: certain semiconductors, printed circuit boards, servers and other data centre hardware. These made up about 14% of US imports in 2025. They grew by $183 billion that year, more than the $144 billion rise in total US goods imports. A separate classification by Michael Waugh (2026) finds a larger share, at 23%.US tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. In 2024 the Biden administration raised US tariffs on electric vehicles from China to 100%, using the authority of the 2018 Section 301 action. China exported 40% of the world's electric vehicles in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency, but almost none to the United States.China's export restrictions on rare earths. In April 2025 China restricted exports of rare earths and permanent magnets, of which it produces about 90% of world supply. Bown did not include these products in the paper, but they are the reverse of the decoupling story. They are goods for which the US found no alternative supplier.Tariff pass-through to consumer prices. Bown suggests that firms with an alternative supplier may explain why some prices, such as the iPhone's, did not rise. He points to work by Alberto Cavallo, Paola Llamas and Franco Vazquez (2025), "Tracking the Short-Run Price Impact of U.S. Tariffs," NBER Working Paper 34496, which tracks how the 2025 tariffs reached retail prices.How to Win a Trade War. Soumaya Keynes and Chad P. Bown. 2026. How to Win a Trade War: An Optimistic Guide to an Anxious Global Economy. New York: Simon & Schuster. The authors argue that the conflict with China will not reverse, and that other economies are now dealing with China-related shocks of their own.More VoxTalks Economics episodesMaking sense of the US-China trade war, in which Bown explained the first trade war in 2021, as it ended.

In this powerful conversation with Rick Locke, we talk about a question many of us have wrestled with: How have you avoided sharing the Gospel because of fear, comfort, or self-preservation? The truth is, we have all done it at some point. Rick shares openly about his journey, including growing up with a father who served in Vietnam, learning about life on the battlefield and in combat, and ultimately being saved at just 12 years old. His story is a reminder that God can use every season of our lives—even the difficult ones—to shape our faith and our priorities.Rick and I talk about what it really means to put God, family, and church at the center of our lives. Sometimes God changes our priorities by taking us through circumstances we never expected. We also talk about taking everything to God in prayer and learning to give thanks in all things, even when life doesn't seem fair.

"'All men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.' This immortal statement was made in the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America in 1776. In a broader sense, this means: All the peoples on the earth are equal from birth, all the peoples have a right to live, to be happy and free." Ho Chi Minh, 2 September 1945 Today we explore the influence of the American Declaration of Independence on Vietnamese Independence, as seen in Ho's explicit references to the American Declaration in his own Declaration. Topics include the following: -a brief history of Vietnamese and Confucian history, politics, and culture -the slow introduction of Western ideas into Vietnam, first via Catholic missionaries in the 1640s -French imperialism in Vietnam during the 19th and 20th centuries -contradictions between French political ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity and their imperial subjugation of the Vietnamese people -the simultaneous emergence of both communist and non-communist independence movements in Vietnam -the early life of Ho Chi Minh, his travels, and his presence at the founding of the French Communist Party in 1919 -Ho's training in Moscow as a Comintern agent and the founding of the Vietnamese Communist Party in Hong Kong in 1930, with Ho as its leader -an exploration of the different competing visions of a post-imperial and independent Vietnam -World War II and the Japanese occupation of Vietnam -Ho's long absence from Vietnam--from 1911 to 1941--and his return during the Japanese occupation and his founding of the Viet Minh movement for independence -the entry of the OSS into Vietnam with the goal of allying with anti-Japanese forces, including the Viet Minh -OSS accounts of Ho's interest in the language and ideas expressed in the US Declaration of Independence -the events leading to Ho Chi Minh's Vietnamese Declaration of Independence Speech on 2 September 1945 Prof. Zinoman's books can be found here: [The Colonial Bastille, A History of Imprisonment in Vietnam, 1862-1940](https://www.ucpress.edu/books/the-colonial-bastille/hardcover) [Vietnamese Colonial Republican, The Political Vision of Vu Trong Phung](https://www.ucpress.edu/books/vietnamese-colonial-republican/hardcover) [Ho Chi Minh's Declaration of Vietnamese Independence](https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/ho-chi-minh/works/1945/declaration-independence.htm) The cover image features a 1945 photo of Ho Chi Minh with members of the OSS, the precursor to the CIA.

What would happen if war stopped being something happening somewhere else—and suddenly came directly to your family? In this powerful episode of The MisFitNation, Rich LaMonica sits down with author and former television reporter Claudia Hinz, whose debut novel SAFEKEEPING imagines a near-future America where the military draft has returned. Set in 2027, SAFEKEEPING follows Tenley Ward, a wealthy Dallas mother whose 19-year-old son receives a low draft lottery number and is suddenly facing military service. Desperate to protect him, Tenley launches MOMS — Mothers Opposing More Senselessness, an anti-draft movement that grows from one mother's fear into a national force. As the movement gains momentum, the consequences reach deep into her marriage, family, identity, and relationship with Leland “Privately” Marks, a young Marine veteran carrying the emotional weight of combat. But this conversation goes far beyond the pages of a novel. Claudia and Rich explore the uncomfortable questions that surface when patriotism, protest, service, privilege, motherhood, and war collide. Can someone passionately support veterans while opposing the war they were sent to fight? Would Americans think differently about military conflict if their own sons and daughters could be drafted? And after service members come home, are we truly prepared to understand what they experienced—or do we too often reduce their stories to “thank you for your service” and move on? Claudia shares how her fascination with these questions began in childhood, when her father hosted Vietnam veterans and POW/MIA families in their home. She remembers listening to their conversations and recognizing, even as a child, that some families bore an enormous burden while others remained largely untouched by war. Later, as a television reporter, she covered military stories from bases in California, Texas, and Washington. One image would eventually become a major creative spark for SAFEKEEPING: graffiti photographed at a Marine base in Ramadi declaring that while America continued with everyday life, Marines were the ones actually at war. In the interview, Claudia explains how that idea forced her to confront the divide between the people who serve and the much larger civilian population that can often remain distant from the consequences of conflict. Rich brings his own combat-veteran perspective into the conversation as they discuss the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the treatment of Vietnam veterans, military families, reintegration after service, mental health, VA care, loss of purpose after leaving the military, and the responsibility Americans have to distinguish between the people sent to war and the political decisions that put them there. This episode asks listeners to wrestle with some difficult questions: Would a military draft bring Americans closer to understanding the true cost of war? Can protest itself be an expression of patriotism? How should civilians start more meaningful conversations with veterans? What happens when someone leaves a highly purpose-driven military life and suddenly has to build an entirely new identity? And perhaps the biggest question of all: What would you do if the draft notice had your child's name on it? SAFEKEEPING explores motherhood, activism, grief, privilege, desire, patriotism, veteran experience, the civilian-military divide, and the ripple effects of war far beyond the battlefield. Claudia's press materials describe the novel as a story designed to provoke conversations about who bears the burden of conflict and how families and communities are changed by it.
