  • Interview with Andrew Lownie very good

    Why didn’t the federal government seize $ real estate Ghislaine Maxwell gained illicitly? I believe Prince Andrew and Maxwell met early on Preb dating Epstein and he instilled in her only wear an outfit once when her father dies and she tries to lure me into the Epstein Maxwell world in 1996 she tells me she’s broke. She also makes like a rude mocking joke of Charles and Diana sex life. She didn’t know that I had read a book about her father. I knew she was not an only child and I knew about the... more

  • Brilliant and Incisive Podcast

    I thoroughly enjoy this Podcast. It is topical, engaging, and despite the barrage of bleak news covered, relentlessly positive. The hosts seek real world solutions to geopolitical problems even when interviewing (as they often do) people with whom they disagree… I also like that the host’s effusive personality is front and centre! Congratulations on a terrific Podcast team!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 191. Why Can’t Western governments get anything done? What do we do about trillionaires? Is the US missing out on the World Cup dividend?
Q: Will this constant back and forth between the US and Iran ever end? Will there ever be order in this disorder?
The panelists suggest there may not be a clean end; progress depends on long-term regional cooperation and gradual alignment on strategic interests rather than expecting quick regime changes.
Ep 193. America’s 250th and a Reformed drug smuggler on how to tackle the narcotics industry and Epstein
Q: What is the most important step to beat the war on drugs according to your experience?
Education and discipline are emphasized as foundational tools to prevent recruitment, build resilience in communities, and reduce the capacity of criminal networks to adapt and survive.
Ep 193. America’s 250th and a Reformed drug smuggler on how to tackle the narcotics industry and Epstein
Q: Tell us what has been achieved, not achieved, on the question of tackling organized crime and drug smuggling from Mexico into the United States?
Bradley explains that while law enforcement has evolved, corruption and adaptable smuggling methods persist; he emphasizes identifying problems, planning aggressive countermeasures, and addressing root causes like institutional corruption and supply chain vulnerabilities.
Ep 188. Disorder LIVE @ UNA-UK: The Disunited Kingdom, the disordered dynamics of U.S.-Iran talks, and how Hormuz affects Nigerian politics
Q: What should the UK government focus on to steady inflationary pressures and restore business confidence in light of leadership questions and ongoing global turmoil?
The discussion suggests a need for credible, long-term plans that restore confidence: a clear economic strategy, restraint on spending, and targeted support to ease price shocks. Leadership transition considerations are framed as potentially disruptive unless a credible path is established quickly, with emphasis on stabilizing the macroeconomic environment and rebuilding trust with business communities.
Ep 188. Disorder LIVE @ UNA-UK: The Disunited Kingdom, the disordered dynamics of U.S.-Iran talks, and how Hormuz affects Nigerian politics
Q: What are some of the solutions that we can think of for the African continent? Could you divide them into two categories? What Africa can do for itself and what the global North and big tech can do to help Africa?
Alexis outlines that Africa can mobilize trillions in domestic capital to fund digital infrastructure and industrialization, improve financial inclusion, and expand AI-enabled services with localized language training, while improving credit worthiness through nuanced risk assessment and boots-on-the-ground engagement by ratings agencies. For external partners, she emphasizes targeted investment, technology transfer, and supportive policy environments that unlock finance and enable African institutions to scale up digital infrastructure, enable fintech growth, and foster regional growth through smarter risk assessment.
