Native America Calling - Monday, November 17, 2025 – Native hemp producers caught off guard by near total ban in the bill reopening federal government

A surprise insertion in the bill to end the federal government shutdown has thrown Native hemp producers into chaos. The language prohibits products like beverages, vapes, and gummies containing THC compounds derived from hemp. Those products were widely available and contribute to a nearly $30 billion industry. Among them is the Lac du Flambeau tribe that produces and sells hemp-derived products.

The end of the government shutdown also means the clock is ticking for Native Americans receiving health insurance subsidized by the Affordable Care Act. Without action by Congress, insurance premiums for those people will jump significantly after the start of the New Year. We’ll hear about what the possible options are foa the millions of people facing a major hike in insurance costs.

GUESTS

Angie Wilson (Pit River Tribe), tribal health director for Reno-Sparks Indian Colony

Rob Pero (Bad River Tribe), founder and president of the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association and the owner of Canndigenous

Candace Thompson (Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Indians), director of cannabis operations for the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Indians

Dionne Holmquist (Aztec ancestry), director of biobased solutions at Makoce Agriculture Development

Marketplace All-in-One - What happens when the government finally does the numbers

Tomorrow's when we’re supposed to learn more about how imports and exports have been faring from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, though the 43-day government shutdown may still delay that data release. What might those numbers be able to tell us (whenever they do come out) about some of the impacts of the president’s tariffs? Plus, China has a glut of EVs, and that oversupply is starting to spill over into the rest of the world.

In the Caribbean, a major U.S. military buildup raises new questions about the administration’s strategy toward Venezuela as Trump claims President Maduro “would like to talk.” And in Charlotte, North Carolina, a new Border Patrol operation sparks fear and confusion after immigration enforcement agents fan out across the city with little warning.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - Fraud Awareness Week – How SEON is your Fraud & AML Command Center with Husnain Bajwa

Today, we have a special episode correlated with Fraud awareness week, and brought to you by our friends at SEON - the command center for fraud prevention and AML compliance. SEON connects first party data signals to show you what other solutions can't - by enriching data, understanding context, and taking action from one place... to prevent fraud.

In this episode, we are talking with Husnain "HB" Bajwa, SVP of Product & Risk Solutions. He has been a fraud and risk leader for 30+ years, and leads innovation in fraud prevention and compliance at SEON. HB is going to touch on important topics in the fraud detection and prevention space, such as AI, regulatory pressures, and the perspectives of startups that can get them into trouble.

Questions:

  • You’ve spent a lot of time in the world of fraud and compliance. What first drew you to solving these kinds of problems?
  • Startups often focus on growth first and worry about fraud later. What’s the hidden risk in that mindset?
  • Why do you believe fraud prevention and AML compliance are converging, and what are the benefits of them living in the same system?
  • AI gets talked about a lot, but in your view, what are the real, practical ways it’s improving fraud and AML work today?
  • We’re seeing more regulatory pressure globally. How can organizations prepare for 2026 to ensure they are taking a risk-based approach to compliance?
  • I know your team’s been working on some big innovations, including a new compliance suite built on top of your fraud prevention stack and new AI-driven tools. How are these helping investigators connect the dots faster and uncover hidden relationships, especially when it comes to complex cases?
  • What advice would you give to early-stage startups that might think they’re ‘too small’ to be targeted by fraudsters?

Marketplace All-in-One - Bridging the uncanny valley of lab-grown meat

About a third of global greenhouse gas emissions come from our food systems, and livestock production is a big part of that. Experts largely agree that one of the biggest actions individuals can take to lower emissions is to eat less meat.


But that's a hard sell for a lot of consumers. Americans have actually been eating more meat in recent years, and sales of plant-based meat alternatives have dropped.


There are a lot of companies out there trying to innovate climate-friendly meat and alternatives for the future.


For our podcast "How We Survive," Marketplace's Amy Scott visits a lab at Columbia University where researchers are figuring out how to make a more convincing and enjoyable fake meat.
