About this listen

In this episode, we delve into the critical stories shaping our world today. We start with President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, analyzing the potential economic fallout and global reactions. Then, we turn to escalating geopolitical tensions, as experts warn of a powerful alliance among China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

We also reflect on the remarkable life of the world’s oldest man, examine how gold is fueling organized crime, and assess Trump’s foreign policy proposals and their implications for global stability. At COP29 in Azerbaijan, we uncover contradictions in global climate action, where rhetoric and reality clash.

Finally, we confront a chilling United Nations report on gender-based violence, which reveals that every 10 minutes, a woman or girl is killed by a male family member or intimate partner. As this crisis intersects with the incoming administration, we explore the systemic challenges facing women in a male-dominated government with leaders accused of sexual misconduct.
