In this episode of Let’s Talk Bharat, Anupam Kher is joined by Ashish Chauhan, the head of the National Stock Exchange and chancellor of the University of Allahabad. The technocrat is optimistic about Bharat’s growth story over the next 40 years because of its large young population as compared to a graying Europe and the US. He feels confident that for the first time in his lifetime, the nation controls the circumstances and not the other way around. He cites inclusive growth as a case in point as a bulk of the country’s rural population is enjoying the benefits of technological advancements such as the mobile telephony revolution that has transformed their daily lives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

Pro-Palestinian march takes place in Istanbul

As Friedrich Nietzsche remarked more than a century ago, everything is learned in comparison. With the prospect of a full-scale war between Israel and Iran, the humanitarian disaster in Gaza suddenly seems like a crisis of a second or even a third order. Is the possibility of an international war in the Middle East likely to deflect from the mass suffering in Gaza, and could that be a deliberate strategy to redirect the global spotlight? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Ofer Cassif, Member of the Knesset for Hadash-Ta’al. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

Disease struck the American chestnut population in the early 20th century and now the once famed tree is all but extinct in North America. But scientists say they have come up with a plan to revive the chestnut tree through genetic engineering. To some that might sound like a great idea. But is it? It’s never been done before. And we have literally no idea what it will do to other trees as its pollen is spread by the winds, bees, and other insects. On this episode of the Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou asks Anne Petermann, the executive director of the Global Justice Ecology Project... Are we saving the chestnut? Or are we dooming other species? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

The Clintons have been accused of many things, but going quietly into the night is not one of them. Bill Clinton is still very much involved behind the scenes in the political world, attending high-priced fundraisers for President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign and having private conversations with the Pope. After tuning out from the world for a year, Hillary Clinton has now reemerged ready to comment on just about everything. On this episode of 360 View, Scottie Nell Hughes and a panel of experts (Andrew Langer, radio and podcast host, director of the Center for Regulatory Freedom at the CPAC Foundation; John Jackson, former chairman, Dekalb Democratic Party) discuss how the Clintons are still screwing the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

The balance of power in the Middle East is in a state of flux. Israel no longer has its vaulted ‘deterrence supremacy.’ A group called the ‘Axis of Resistance’ is challenging the Jewish state and, perhaps just as importantly, its Western patrons.

Space has always captured humanity’s imagination, but only the chosen few are able to head beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. It takes years of preparation to finally take on the final frontier. Every cosmonaut’s path starts in Zvyozdniy Gorodok or Star city, not far from Moscow. Learning to operate a spacecraft, breathing under g-forces, moving in zero gravity, working in outer space and even coping with long-term isolation – all this is taught in Zvyozdniy with the help of flying labs, centrifuges, hydrolabs and a lot more. Space training pushes the limits of human abilities to the very edge. So, who are the superheroes of our time? Join Inland Visions to meet past and future cosmonauts and get to know a little more about one of the most important jobs in the world. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez takes a look at Western media’s insane obsession with drug busts in Russia when they involve an American culprit. Recently another American was busted in Russia for marijuana possession, in a case reminiscent of Brittney Griner. It quickly became fodder for the US mainstream media and ran on almost all of the major new channels. But, as Rick points out, there are tens of if not hundreds more drug busts in the United States as the American government continues its failed war on drugs. Rick is joined by conservative commentator Steve Gill for this and more.

WikiLeaks cofounder Julian Assange has been held in London’s notorious maximum-security Belmarsh Prison for almost five years. Before that, he was in self-imposed exile in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. A few years ago, the CIA made plans to kill or kidnap Assange in broad daylight in the streets of London, if the US government’s request to extradite him turned out to be unsuccessful. But that request is pending and is likely to go forward in the near future. The big question then is whether the US Justice Department will offer Assange a deal he can live with or whether he will be forced to go on trial for his life. On this episode of The Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou speaks with journalist and Consortium News editor Joe Lauria and activist and radio host Randy Credico about what the future might hold for Julian Assange. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

NBC has hired and fired former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. ‘Meet the Press’ host Chuck Todd had a meltdown on air, saying NBC owes an apology for hiring McDaniel, questioning her credibility. But NBC also hired Jen Psaki, a former White House press secretary under Joe Biden, without all the pomp and circumstance about her arrival. She was welcomed with open arms. On this edition of The 360 View, Scottie Nell Hughes asks her guests, former CNN pundit Rick Sanchez and political commentator Steve Malzberg, why the media is not even trying to hide their bias anymore, and if true journalism is dead. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez discusses the consequences of Iran’s recent attack on Israel. Was this a simple tit-for-tat to save face and show the world Iran is prepared to go toe-to-toe with Israel? Or could we actually be on the verge of World War III? Rick is joined by history professor Mohammad Marandi from Tehran, and editor at The Cradle, Esteban Carillo.
