*In this episode:*
In this compelling episode of the Ecuador Insider Podcast, recorded on September 11, 2025, hosts Jesse and Brandon share insights from their base in Vilcabamba, Ecuador. They kick off with light-hearted banter about beards and the significance of the date, then dive into their recent transformative retreat, describing how 14 participants formed deep connections and were inspired by Vilcabamba’s unique culture and energy.

The conversation turns to serious global events, including the shocking assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, which they condemn as despicable and divisive, highlighting its potential to deepen U.S. political tensions. They reflect on societal anger, the need for constructive dialogue, and Kirk’s polarizing views on issues like abortion, gender, DEI, and Christianity. The hosts also discuss ongoing protests in Europe (notably France and Ireland over immigration), unrest in Nepal, and broader geopolitical instability.

Locally, Jesse and Brandon analyze Ecuadorian President Noboa’s proposed referendums, covering topics like a registry for child rapists, judicial reforms, gambling legalization, military involvement in prisons, and international arbitration for investments. They explore the potential benefits and risks of each proposal, balancing support for security measures with concerns about consolidating power.

Additional topics include a current cold snap in Ecuador, their plans for family trips to the Amazon, Puyango petrified forest, and ancient ruins, as well as public desensitization to recent UFO disclosures (referencing Congressional footage of a Hellfire missile interacting with a mysterious object). They also touch on the impact of cell phones on human interaction and the occult symbolism tied to September 11.
