The Democratic strategist Lis Smith joins the guest host Clare Malone, a New Yorker staff writer, to discuss the state of the Democratic Party, and how a decade of reliance on anti-Trump rhetoric has left Democrats reactive and directionless. They consider why groups that Democrats once counted on—from young people to communities of color—are shifting rightward, and what new strategies politicians from Gavin Newsom to Zohran Mamdani are testing to prove that the Democratic Party stands for more than opposition to Trump.This week's reading “The Trump Administration's Efforts to Reshape America's Past,” by Jill Lepore “How Former Biden Officials Defend Their Gaza Policy,” by Isaac Chotiner “The Endless August Recess,” by Antonia Hitchens “The Enormous Stakes of Trump's Effort to Fire the Fed Governor Lisa Cook,” by John Cassidy “What's Life Like in Washington, D.C., During Trump's Takeover?,” by Margaret Talbot Tune in to The Political Scene wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of Behind the Knife, Dr. Patrick Georgoff sits down with Dr. Keri Seymour and Dr. Joey Lew to tackle the complex world of gastrostomy tubes. What may seem like a routine and straightforward procedure is anything but—full of nuanced patient considerations, timing dilemmas, technical challenges, and potential complications that can turn a “simple” consult into a 2 a.m. call you won't forget. From who truly needs a G tube and when to managing difficult post-op issues like dislodgement and buried bumper syndrome, this episode breaks down the practical, evidence-based approach every surgeon should know. Whether you're managing stroke patients, trauma cases, or navigating the tricky administrative obstacles around enteral access, this episode will equip you with the insights and strategies to confidently dominate your G tube consults. Hosts: · Dr. Patrick Georgoff (Acute Care Surgeon, Duke University) · Dr. Keri Seymour (Minimally Invasive & Acute Care Surgeon, Duke Regional) · Dr. Joey Lew (Surgical Resident, BTK MIS Team) Learning Goals: By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to: · Understand the nuanced indications for gastrostomy tube (G tube) placement. · Learn which patients truly benefit from G tubes, and when enteral access is not appropriate or indicated. · Appreciate the importance of goals of care discussions, assessment of comorbidities, and decision-makers—especially in neurocritical and elderly populations. · Know evidence-based timing for gastrostomy tube placement in stroke, TBI, and other complex scenarios. · Understand guideline recommendations and the clinical reasoning behind trial periods of nasogastric feeding versus early G tube placement. · Describe technical approaches to G tube placement and how to tailor the method to patient anatomy and clinical context. · Solidify knowledge of when to choose endoscopic, laparoscopic, open, or interventional radiology-guided placement. · Recognize, manage, and strive to prevent common and serious complications of G tubes, including early and late dislodgement, buried bumper syndrome, infection, bleeding, and gastrocutaneous fistula. · Discuss perioperative considerations, including anticoagulation, patient stability, and post-procedural care. · Understand why routine suturing of the G tube or bumper is not recommended, and how administrative and facility factors can drive clinical decisions. · Gain practical pearls and quick decision trees to dominate G tube consults and troubleshooting, day or night.

The left-wing Democrats running our cities don’t want law and order. They want chaos, dependency, and control. But here’s the truth they can’t hide: even the homeless in Washington, D.C. are begging for President Trump’s clean-up initiative to continue. When those living on the streets are asking for safer parks and cleaner neighborhoods, it tells you everything you need to know about how bad Democrat leadership has failed. So who’s left opposing common-sense policing? It’s the same group that always resists anything tied to Trump’s success: white liberal women. They scream into their megaphones denouncing the thought of enforcing laws, while families, workers, and even the most vulnerable are desperate for safety and stability. Why is this demographic the loudest voice against stopping crime in D.C.? We’ll expose the cultural rot and political brainwashing behind it. This episode is about real leadership versus phony virtue-signaling — and why Trump’s America First approach resonates with everyone except the elites who live in a fantasy world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sam Godwin is a second-generation farmer operating a 300-acre organic orchard in north central Washington, primarily growing apples, pears, and cherries. His farm, which is small by industry standards, faces economic pressures in a market dominated by larger operations, and so has adopted organic practices since the early 2000s to differentiate and add value.

Hotel Clerk EXPOSES Kohberger ENCOUNTER — Freakout, Flirting, and Chilling Knife Talk Before Bryan Kohberger became the central figure in the horrifying University of Idaho quadruple murder case, there were warning signs—small, chilling moments that now feel impossible to ignore. In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers, we unravel a newly uncovered police report detailing a disturbing encounter Kohberger had with a hotel clerk in Pullman, Washington, just five months before the brutal killings of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, and Madison Mogen. Kohberger reportedly stormed into the hotel lobby, furious over what he believed was a double charge on his Expedia booking. But once the young female clerk corrected the issue, his demeanor shifted—fast. He suddenly turned on the charm, smiling, apologizing, and even flirting. But what came next was far worse. The very next day, he cornered the clerk again—this time in the hallway. What followed was a conversation she would never forget: a casual discussion about knife sheaths, collecting knives, and self-defense weapons. At the time, she shrugged it off as strange. Today, in the shadow of one of the most infamous true crime cases of our time, it reads like a red flag flapping in the wind. Was this one of many encounters where Kohberger let the mask slip—just for a moment? We break it all down in this atmospheric, emotionally grounded true crime deep dive. If you're looking for the eerie breadcrumbs that led to the Moscow murders, this episode connects one of the most disturbing dots yet.

At the same time, Netanyahu's closest advisor is in Washington talking “day after” strategy, while back home, reservists are called up yet again and political priorities appear increasingly out of step with public sentiment.This week, Yonit and Jonathan reunite to assess a stalled political process, shifting American pressure, and the increasingly surreal spectacle of Haredi pilgrims preparing to fly abroad — even as they continue to avoid military service. Plus: Unholy heads to New York, and Jonathan becomes an unlikely Instagrammer.
For decades, the United States has used its position at the center of global financial, commercial, and technological networks to punish adversaries and pressure allies, exploiting what the political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman call “weaponized interdependence.” Lacking any alternatives, the rest of the world has had no choice but to rely on American payment systems, American technology, and American corporate might, even as Washington turned that reliance to its own strategic advantage. Now, however, the tables have turned. Other states—starting with China—have begun to weaponize their own chokepoints in the global economic infrastructure. As Farrell and Newman write in the new issue of Foreign Affairs, “The United States is discovering what it is like to have others do unto it as it has eagerly done unto others.” Where it once pioneered the weaponization of interdependence, Washington may now be increasingly at the mercy of its rivals. To Newman and Farrell, this is more than just another salvo in global competition. It is evidence of a major transformation in geopolitics, as national security and economic power have merged—and ushered in a new era of economic warfare.

Gail Eisnittz joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about structuring her memoir around her pursuit of answers to a lifelong medical mystery, coming to terms with her own humanness, writing about her career in animal advocacy, exposing the underbelly of the meat industry and effecting change for millions of animals, working on difficult and hard-to-sell material, not sharing a book project with friends and loved ones until it's complete, weathering a difficult submission process, allowing herself to soften emotionally, becoming more in touch with self-compassion, and her new memoir Out of Sightz: An Undercover Investigator's Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Also in this episode: -factory farms -writing what feels right -discovering what holds the book together Books mentioned in this episode: The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku The Choice by Dr. Eva Edith Eger The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris Gail A. Eisnitz, winner of the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Medal for outstanding achievement in animal welfare, has been working for decades to document and expose the shocking underbelly of the U.S. meat industry. She is chief investigator for the Humane Farming Association and author of the forthcoming memoir, Out of Sight: An Undercover Investigator's Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Eisnitz and her first book, Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment inside the U.S. Meat Industry, were the driving force behind a front-page exposé in the Washington Post that resulted in an annual multimillion dollar Congressional appropriation for enforcement of the Humane Slaughter Act – the first funding ever allocated for a law that had been on the books for more than forty years. Eisnitz's work has resulted in exposés by ABC's Good Morning America, PrimeTime Live, and Dateline NBC, has been featured in such newspapers as the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, Texas Monthly, Denver Business Journal, Los Angeles Times, and U.S. News & World Report, and her interviews have been heard on more than 1,000 radio stations. In her new memoir, Eisnitz takes readers on a journey of self-discovery as she fights to document and expose scandalous animal abuse, all in the face of a rare visual processing disorder that she has grappled with since childhood. The disease, which was only identified in the scientific literature a mere ten years ago – was diagnosed after she began writing her memoir – and is revealed at the book's climax.

Pilot Going Down: Robert Zemeckis's Flight This week we close out our Denzel Washington Love Fest with - arguably - one of his best performances.

For this episode, Mr. Chavez & I sit down to watch, examine, and discuss this incredible performance that touches on the fraility of humanity and the dangers of addiction. Denzel Washington with supporting performances from Don Cheadle, Bruce Greenwood, John Goodman, Melissa Leo, an early star-making turn from Yellowstone's, Kelly Reilly, and Director Robert Zemeckis, the elements for brilliance are obvious.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Why do so many “Republicans” in a conservative voting county, Lubbock County, think that constantly growing government spending, at taxpayer expense with property tax increases, is good policy and reflective of good management and stewardship? Frankly there is a lot of Washington, DC swamp thinking going on such as calling reductions in the rate of increase in spending cuts to spending. Longtime taxpayer champion Lubbock County Commissioner Jason Corley joins me to discuss this issue and why he and commissioners Rackler and Shaw have stood firm for not raising property taxes.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.We meet Texas House District 71 Republican nominee candidate Joshua Ohlemacher.

It's not hard to find critics of capitalism in the current moment but this has always been true: as long as we have had capitalism we have had critics of capitalism. What are the recurring themes of these critiques and how have they helped to shape the economics profession and capitalism itself?John Cassidy is an author at the New Yorker magazine and also the author of several books. His most recent two are Capitalism and Its Critics: A History: From the Industrial Revolution to AI and How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities.Greg and John discuss the multifaceted and varied criticisms of capitalism throughout history. Over the course of the conversation, Greg recounts how John's books have investigated economic crises, the behavioral finance revolution, and the diverse critiques of capitalism from both the left and right. John brings up several examples of historical economic figures, from Adam Smith to Marx, and examines how crises have shaped economic thought and policy. Greg and John also make a point to highlight lesser-known critics and movements, underscoring their unsung importance of economic history.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:When both the left and the right turn against capitalism04:05: In 2016, when Trump was running for the Republican nomination and Bernie Sanders was running for the Democratic nomination, I thought, if you go back into history, it's a long time since we've had sort of major candidates running for office as critics of capitalism from the right and the left. Bernie, of course, has always been a critic of capitalism. He's independent socialist—I'd call him a social democrat, but we can get into what those terms mean if you want. But what's really new was Trump, running from the right with a critique. I mean, people have sort of forgotten now, but when he started out, he was criticizing the banks. He was criticizing big businesses for offshoring. He was running with a critique of capitalism from the right. So that got me thinking about maybe there's a book in how we got here. How can America, sort of world capital of capitalism and always very supportive of the system, come to this state of affairs where the two major candidates are running against it basically?A historical approach to capitalism12:21: Capitalism means anything involving large-scale production on the basis of privately owned assets. Private means of production. And if you adopt that broad definition, then mercantile capitalism, slavery, the plantation economies is a form of capitalism.Why economists often miss the real economy09:51: I realized in sort of maybe the late nineties, early 2000s, that if you want to speak to an economist about what was going on in the economy and what's happening in Washington, there really wasn't much point in calling up Harvard or MIT or Chicago or whatever, because the economics department would say, "Well, we don't really have anybody who covers that. You need to go to the business school, or you need to go to the business economists." So I think maybe there's been a backlash against that since the Great Financial Crisis. I know there's been a lot of efforts inside various universities, especially in Europe, to make the syllabuses more relevant, more sort of real-world based. But I still think at the higher levels of the subject, it's still extremely abstract.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Adam SmithDot-com BubbleGreat RecessionNeoliberalismKeynesian EconomicsMilton FriedmanKarl MarxRosa LuxemburgIndustrial RevolutionCapitalismLudditeWilliam ThompsonRobert OwenThomas CarlyleGlobalizationDependency TheoryAnna WheelerFlora TristanJoan RobinsonRobert SolowPaul SamuelsonJ.

This week's lineup is packed with politics, scandal, and some shocking twists:
In early 2025, headlines announced that the Trump administration would move to dramatically slash USAID—the United States' flagship development agency. For many, the move was surprising, even self-defeating: why would a president so focused on countering China weaken one of Washington's most effective tools of soft power? At the same time, China's development finance continues to expand, and geopolitical competition over infrastructure intensifies, raising alarm bells across Washington and beyond. To help us make sense of this moment—and the broader politics of foreign aid—we're joined by Jack Taggart, an expert on global governance and development, who discusses what these cuts mean for U.S. strategy, China's rise, and the contested terrain of development and aid in today's world. BIO: Jack Taggart is a Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy at Queen's University Belfast. His research spans international political economy, global governance, and global development, focusing on shifting dynamics in development cooperation, such as the rise of new state and private actors, aid financialization, and development finance transformations. He also examines global governance institutions and the growing role of “multistakeholderism” in areas ranging from economic policy to environmental treaties.

Zbigniew Brzezinski was a key architect of the Soviet Union's demise, which ended the Cold War. A child of Warsaw—the heart of central Europe's bloodlands—Brzezinski turned his fierce resentment at his homeland's razing by Nazi Germany and the Red Army into a lifelong quest for liberty. Born the year that Joseph Stalin consolidated power, and dying a few months into Donald Trump's first presidency, Brzezinski was shaped by and in turn shaped the global power struggles of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. As counsel to US presidents from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama, and chief foreign policy figure of the late 1970s under Jimmy Carter, Brzezinski converted his acclaim as a Sovietologist into Washington power. With Henry Kissinger, his lifelong rival with whom he had a fraught on-off relationship, he personified the new breed of foreign-born scholar who thrived in America's “Cold War University”—and who ousted Washington's gentlemanly class of WASPs who had run US foreign policy for so long.Brzezinski's impact, aided by his unusual friendship with the Polish-born John Paul II, sprang from his knowledge of Moscow's “Achilles heel”—the fact that its nationalities, such as the Ukrainians, and satellite states, including Poland, yearned to shake off Moscow's grip. Neither a hawk nor a dove, Brzezinski was a biting critic of George W. Bush's Iraq War and an early endorser of Obama. Because he went against the DC grain of joining factions, and was on occasion willing to drop Democrats for Republicans, Brzezinski is something of history's orphan. His historic role has been greatly underweighted. In the almost cinematic arc of his life can be found the grand narrative of the American century and great power struggle that followed.

Mel and Steve have been together for a little over three months and while things have been great, two weeks ago Mel went out for a girls night and bumped into Steve's ex. Mel tells us that Steve's ex pulled her aside and warned her about Steve's location because he often uses his multiple devices to lie about being home when he really isn't. At the same time, Mel went through Steve's phone and saw that Steve had written an NDA for his friend's bachelor party that he is the Best Man for and made everyone sign that has her worried about their relationship. We call Steve pretending to be the entertainment group booked for Steve's friend's bachelor party asking for any requests and see what Steve actually has planned for the weekend. Find out what's really going on in this week's War Of The Roses!
