230-Million dollars. That's how much Trump wants to be compensated from the Department of Justice for criminally investigating him. Trump says he's owed damages for the alleged Russian interference investigation in the 2016 Presidential election and for the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home related to the handling of classified documents. Trump says whatever money he gets he'll give to charity (Ballroom fund perhaps?) Whatever number he wants, he will probably get because Trump and those in his administration trying to stay in his good graces will be responsible for approving a payout.John Rothmann, our presidential historian and political analyst is traveling but may be able to join us depending on his Internet coverage.

CannCon and Ashe in America return to Badlands Daily with a packed rundown of breaking stories, political absurdities, and sharp analysis you won't hear anywhere else. They open with John Brennan's criminal referral for lying to Congress, linking it back to Russiagate, Comey, and the long trail of deep-state deception. From there, they break down President Trump's unprecedented $230 million claim against the DOJ for wrongful investigations, framing it as another major step in the broader justice narrative. Ashe brings in insight on Tulsi Gabbard's Weaponization Working Group and the growing accountability movement, while CannCon dissects the arrest of a State Department advisor accused of hoarding classified documents. The pair also tackle DHS's new $10 billion self-deportation initiative, migrant gang threats, and Argentina's $20 billion stabilization deal, complete with a deep dive into the American beef industry. Wrapping up with Virginia's “ballot hole” controversy, Trump's Putin summit rumors, and a dose of Badlands humor, this episode captures the perfect blend of wit, news, and no-nonsense commentary.

In this urgent episode of the Mint Press News podcast, host Mnar Adley speaks with Lebanese war correspondent Ghadi Francis about Israel's relentless war on Lebanon and Washington's renewed campaign to force Hezbollah to disarm. Ghadi, whose Instagram account with over 400,000 followers was recently suspended by Meta, returns to the show to share firsthand reporting from the frontlines of South Lebanon.Despite a so-called ceasefire, Israel continues daily attacks—bombing civilians, kidnapping fishermen and shepherds, expanding military positions on Lebanese soil, and flying drones over villages. Meanwhile, the U.S.-backed Lebanese government is pressuring Hezbollah to surrender its weapons without any guarantee that Israel won't invade again.Ghadi explains why Hezbollah cannot and will not disarm while Israeli forces still occupy Lebanese land. She details the horrific aftermath of Israel's pager and walkie-talkie attacks that blinded and maimed thousands, including children. She also reveals how Lebanon's economic collapse is being weaponized to fracture national unity and intensify pressure on the resistance.This conversation exposes the complicity of Western media, the hypocrisy of U.S. foreign policy, and the terrifying reality that everyday devices could become weapons—thanks to Israeli-American technological warfare.Mint Press News is independent, fearless, and entirely reader-supported.

Segment 1 • Charlie Kirk memorial created a “cultural moment” and Christian revival. • Revival sparks emotion, but true reformation requires Scripture and discipleship. • Gospel must remain central—don't swap truth for politics or feelings. Segment 2 • True reformation is built on ordinary means: Word, prayer, sacraments, discipleship. • Local churches—not viral events—grow Christians for the long haul. • Fearless discipleship starts at the kitchen table and in the pew, not in stadiums. Segment 3 • Bishop sells $13M condo funded by the poor vs. Canada's euthanasia surge. • 1 in 20 deaths in Canada now comes from “assisted dying.” • Both stories reveal comfort over sacrifice—but Christ calls us to self-denial. Segment 4 • Catholic sex abuse scandal: $230M settlement, 500+ victims in one diocese. • Quebec bans public prayer—secularism legislated into daily life. • Taliban's rules leave Afghan women to die—contrasted with Jesus' radical dignity toward women at the cross. ___ Thanks for listening!

Además, Alexandre cuenta la historia: los inicios en 2000, el punto de inflexión con Walmart Brasil en 2007, la decisión de apostar únicamente por SaaS en un mundo acostumbrado al on-premise y el refactor de dos años con ~200 ingenieros para soportar el modelo marketplace. Menciona verticales y casos de clientes enterprise, y por qué muchas compañías que internalizaron su e-commerce hace años ahora migran a plataformas SaaS por coste total, seguridad, velocidad y capacidad de personalización.
In this all-new episode of Absolute Trust Talk, Kirsten Howe and Associate Attorney Ariana Flynn explore a refreshing change of pace: a celebrity estate plan that appears to have been well-structured and executed effectively. Following the July 22, 2025, passing of heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, his $230 million estate seems to be transitioning smoothly without probate litigation or family disputes. The hosts examine what the Prince of Darkness did right, from clear beneficiary designations to keeping valuable intellectual property assets within family control. They also dive into the complex international tax implications for dual US-UK citizens and reveal why sometimes giving heirs direct access to their inheritance can reduce litigation risk. Tune in for expert insights on estate planning strategies that work, whether you're managing millions or thousands, and discover how proper planning can keep your family united and out of court. Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 1:54 Here's what we know about the Osbourne family: Sharon, six children from two marriages, and a $230 million estate consisting of music royalties, TV show income, real estate, and other assets. 3:05 Learn why "no news is good news" in estate planning and what it means when there's no immediate courthouse litigation. 4:35 Discover the first key estate planning strategy: setting clear beneficiary designations and why leaving assets directly to family members can prevent future legal battles. 6:06 Explore the importance of centralized family leadership and how Sharon's role as longtime manager creates continuity in asset management. 7:10 Understand why name, image, and likeness are valuable assets that require careful management, especially for public figures. 8:21 Dive into the complex world of international estate taxes for dual citizens and learn about the dramatic differences between US and UK estate tax exemptions. 10:05 Examine how the UK's £375,000 estate tax exemption (approximately $435,000) affects even "regular" wealthy families. 10:52 Key takeaways from Ozzy's estate planning success for creating effective and protective estate plans.
230 mètres de profondeur, plus de six heures sous l'eau, un environnement exigeant et aucun détail laissé au hasard. Cet épisode décortique, pas à pas, une plongée record en recycleur : profil de plongée, sécurité, logistique, préparation mentale… tout ce qui permet d'atteindre la profondeur, puis d'en revenir en toute maîtrise.Avec Gaëlle Giesen, on entre dans le concret : analyse précise de la plongée et organisation la remontée pour que la décompression se déroule sans surprise, palier après palier.Côté profil de plongée, on parle de vitesse de remontée contrôlée, de paliers rapprochés, d'un dernier arrêt long en faible profondeur, et de l'adaptation permanente au contexte souterrain (relief, circulation, température, visibilité). L'enjeu n'est pas de “rester” au plus profond, mais de sécuriser la sortie : gestion du gaz, de la flottabilité, de la chaleur, de l'éclairage et des éventuelles recompressions liées au trajet retour.Rien ne se fait sans équipe. Gaëlle détaille la structure du dispositif : binôme expérimenté, plongeurs de sécurité positionnés à différentes profondeurs, soutien surface... On comprend aussi la redondance pensée à tous les niveaux : deux recycleurs (principal + secours), ordinateurs multiples (y compris embarqués sur le scooter), lampes, parachutes, chauffage et blocs additionnels. Chaque élément a une raison d'être, testée à l'entraînement.On parle aussi du coût réel de telles plongées (gaz, consommables, maintenance) et du partage des données des plonée avec la communauté technique et médicale.Au final, un débrief transparent et pédagogique d'une plongée extrême : ni sensationnalisme, ni mystère, mais une culture de la préparation, de la redondance et de l'humilité face au milieu.Un épisode pour celles et ceux qui veulent comprendre comment on construit un record – et pourquoi la sécurité en est la véritable performance.
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Earnings Tsunami Incoming The Q1 FY26 earnings season has officially begun, with Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank leading the charge. Over 95 major companies are set to report their numbers this week, covering sectors like tech, pharma, infra, and finance. “Markets will first react to Reliance, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP, Religare Broking.

With large and midcaps on center stage, investor sentiment could shift fast. $44M Crypto Hack Hits CoinDCX India's leading crypto exchange CoinDCX has confirmed a $44 million security breach, after hackers compromised an internal liquidity account over the weekend. Co-founder Sumit Gupta said customer wallets remain safe and losses will be fully covered by treasury reserves. Trading was briefly paused but services are now live. The company is also launching a bug bounty program and working with cybersecurity partners to trace the stolen assets. This breach follows last year's WazirX hack worth $230M, adding urgency ahead of India's first crypto policy paper, expected this month. EU Sanctions Nayara Refinery, Rosneft Hits Back The European Union has sanctioned Nayara Energy's refinery in Vadinar, Gujarat, drawing sharp condemnation from Rosneft, which owns a 49% stake. Rosneft called the move “unjustified and illegal,” warning it could undermine India's energy security and hurt the economy. It emphasized that Nayara is a locally governed and taxed Indian entity, with profits reinvested in the country. India's Ministry of External Affairs responded firmly: “We do not recognize unilateral sanctions. There should be no double standards, especially in energy trade,” said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal. The EU also slashed the Russian oil price cap to $47.6/barrel and clamped down on “shadow fleet” ships—efforts to reduce Moscow's wartime revenue. Iran-EU Nuclear Talks Back On In a diplomatic shift, Iran has agreed to restart nuclear talks with the UK, France, and Germany—collectively known as the E3. Deputy foreign ministers will meet Friday, separate from any talks with the US. These nations were part of the original 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA), which the US exited in 2018. Talks have remained frozen since an Israeli airstrike in June disrupted a round of Oman-mediated negotiations. Iran is demanding security guarantees after joint US-Israel strikes targeted its nuclear infrastructure. While expectations are low, any movement is seen as a sign of thaw in an otherwise tense region. Honda Hits the Brakes on ABS Deadline With a January 2026 deadline approaching for mandatory ABS (anti-lock braking systems) on all two-wheelers, Honda Motorcycles has joined Hero MotoCorp in raising red flags. “Cost is one issue. But the real concern is supply chain readiness,” said Yogesh Mathur of Honda. Currently, only bikes above 125cc require ABS. The new norms would impact 84% of the two-wheeler market, adding ₹3,000–₹5,000 per unit in cost. 70% of key ABS parts—like ECUs and sensors—are still imported, mostly from China and ASEAN nations. Industry body SIAM has asked the government to push the deadline, but the Ministry remains firm, citing India's high road fatality rate. Analysts say the domestic ABS market could grow 5X to ₹80,000 crore, though full localization may take up to 18 months. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Chris wanted to ask Mike about the reports of collusion in the NFL in regards to guaranteed contracts. Mike said a lot of it was about the Deshaun Watson contract, in which the Browns gave him $230M guaranteed. Mike explained how just days after the Watson deal was signed, the NFL and the owners wanted to work together on not making the high-level guarantees the norm. Mike dove into some of the other details and how Russell Wilson is involved. Mike drew a comparison between an NFL collusion case and pro wrestling when it comes to fan impact. Mike hopes that people understand this is a pretty big deal – the biggest collusion case in pro sports in about 30 years. Mike said it will only become a bigger deal if the players make it that way. On the heels of the Aaron Rodgers comments yesterday, Mike doesn't think it would be smart to do his weekly Pat McAfee Show hit this year if he isn't interested in attention. Mike said Rodgers knows that his mystique will get people talking about him.
The Pirates are already down 4-0 in a Paul Skenes start and it has been accompanied by some ugly baseball. Mullsy said this game feels like a microcosm of how the two organizations are put together. Nick Gonzales had a horrendous attempt of a throw-home. The Brewers have several players that would be the Pirates best player. There has also been some former Steelers WR drama. George Pickens backed out of a youth camp he had scheduled last minute and has been replaced by, friend of the show, Pat Freiermuth. Diontae Johnson explained why he got suspended by the Ravens last year. It's laughable. Chris is tired of the Steelers wide receiver narratives that we hear every single year. Donny pointed out why everything happening with Diontae Johnson will only strengthen them. Is it ironic that they changed things up and traded for DK Metcalf this offseason?

Trump's Mystery Announcement: Gaza Takeover or Drug Price War? – Trump hints at an “earth-shattering” reveal, with two possible bombshells emerging: a U.S.-led interim government in Gaza after Israel's offensive, or a sweeping executive order to slash prescription drug prices by tying them to international rates. Biden's Gaza Pier Scandal Much Worse Than Reported – A Pentagon IG report reveals 62 U.S. troops were injured and one killed in Biden's failed Gaza pier mission, far more than the three injuries publicly disclosed.

What if your biggest business breakthrough came from a completely different industry? In this episode, Dr. Hesham Baky shares how he transitioned from scaling a multi-location dental empire to building a $230M real estate portfolio focused on high-growth medical retail spaces what he calls "Medtail." Discover the game-changing strategy he used to identify prime locations before they boom, leverage real estate for massive returns, and create a fund that attracts both medical professionals and high-net-worth investors. 5 Key Takeaways from the Episode with Dr. Hesham BakyThe Power of Owning the Real Estate Behind Your Business Dr. Baky learned from a mentor that owning the real estate where your business operates provides long-term financial stability. This insight led him to acquire properties alongside his dental practices, ultimately fueling his expansion into commercial real estate.Medtail: The Future of Medical Real Estate Investment The shift of medical services into retail spaces—dubbed "Medtail"—is a high-growth trend. By placing medical offices in high-traffic retail locations, Dr. Baky has been able to create more patient-friendly experiences while capitalizing on the value of mixed-use developments.Using Heat Mapping to Predict Real Estate Growth Instead of relying solely on census data, Dr. Baky and his team developed a proprietary heat-mapping system based on future housing permits. This allowed them to identify high-growth areas before they developed, securing prime real estate at a fraction of its future value.The Benefits of a Fund Structure for Scaling Investments While initially focused on personal real estate investments, Dr. Baky realized the power of pooling investor capital. His Blue Ridge Capital Fund allows doctors and high-net-worth individuals to participate in lucrative real estate opportunities while benefiting from his expertise.Trend-Based Investing vs. Asset-Based Investing Dr. Baky's success stems from spotting emerging trends rather than being tied to a single asset class. From identifying Medtail as a rising investment opportunity to capitalizing on distressed retail centers during COVID, his ability to recognize market shifts has led to significant wealth creation.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

The Acolyte was a disappointment for Disney. It cost too much and didn't recoup its expenses, which is the confirmed reason it was canceled so quickly. Disney counts negative reviews and hate-watching as viewership, potentially leading to renewal of poorly-received shows. "The Acolyte" was canceled due to high production costs of $188-230M and low viewership, not toxic fandom as claimed by media. Disney is willing to make a film based on "The Mandalorian" but has put Ray films on hold, signaling uncertainty in the franchise's future. Disney prioritizes entertainment industry standards and numbers over social justice activism in decision-making. "The Acolyte" performed well in its first week with strong reviews but was ultimately deemed not worth a second season due to high cost and low returns. Disney will cancel shows that don't justify their high costs, even with strong reviews and initial success, focusing on projects with clear audience and financial potential. Disney canceled "The Acolyte" due to high production costs and low viewer engagement, despite initial positive reviews, highlighting concerns about the future of the Star Wars franchise. 00:00 Disney canceled "The Acolyte" due to high costs and low viewership. 01:48 Disney misattributes the failure of "The Acolyte" to toxic fandom instead of acknowledging its low viewership and engagement. 03:40 Disney acknowledges that "The Acolyte" failed due to poor quality and viewer burnout from the Star Wars franchise. 04:48 Disney confirmed "The Acolyte" was not renewed due to high production costs and low viewer interest despite good reviews. 06:23 Disney acknowledges that "The Acolyte" failed to attract viewers, leading to no plans for a second season despite some engagement from critics. 07:17 Disney admits The Acolyte failed due to low episode count and poor performance. 08:54 Disney acknowledges that "The Acolyte" failed to maintain viewership despite initial strong reviews, leading to doubts about its future. 10:00 Disney admits "The Acolyte" failed to attract viewers, deeming its production costs unjustified and raising concerns about the future of the Star Wars franchise.

Shiyan Koh, Managing Partner of Hustle Fund, and Jeremy Au discussed: 1. 6 Million Population: Singapore's population reached 6 million in 2023, up from 5 million in 2010. Shiyan noted the population was 2.7 million when she left two decades ago in 1990, highlighting rapid growth. Increased density has boosted economic diversity, comparable to New York City's business environment. Unlike USA or the EU, Singapore's population growth is driven by legal immigration due to strong border enforcement. International events like the F1 Grand Prix and Token 2049 contribute to an influx of expatriates, reinforcing Singapore's role as a global business hub. 2. Anti-Immigration vs. Education Assimilation: With Singapore's GDP per capita at USD 88,000, which six times higher than neighboring Malaysia, Shiyan highlighted that Singapore naturally attracts workers from ASEAN countries. She emphasized that immigration often fills jobs that the local population does not. Jeremy noted that immigration, while necessary for economic growth, is controversial globally, especially when people feel its benefits aren't equally shared. They both suggested that schools should serve as platforms for integrating immigrant children, given Singapore's declining birth rate. They also discussed how international schools, equal government funding across local schools, socio-economic factors, tuition, and parent self selection drives competition across families for local school slots. 3. US$230M Bitcoin Theft Lessons: 20-year-old Singaporean Malone Lam was arrested in Los Angeles for stealing 4,100 Bitcoin, worth USD 230 million. He partied hard with the proceeds, gave away Birkin bags at nightclubs, and bought luxury cars. Prioritizing long-term thinking and value creation leads to sustainable success, rather than chasing short-term career gains that sacrifice integrity. Jeremy and Shiyan also touched on fostering "kampung community spirit”, the impact of alumni networks and socioeconomic background on local school performance, and the role of expatriates in Singapore's business ecosystem. === Shiyan Koh is the Managing Partner at Hustle Fund, a venture capital fund that invests in pre-seed software startups in the U.S., Canada and Southeast Asia. Prior to that she was VP Business Operations and Corporate Development at NerdWallet, a Fintech Startup that helps users with a range of financial decisions through content, community and tools. Over the course of six years at NerdWallet, she led product teams, ran business operations and corporate development, and helped grow the company from US$1M to US$150M in revenue. === Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://www.bravesea.com/blog/singapore-population-growth Nonton, dengar atau baca wawasan lengkapnya di https://www.bravesea.com/blog/singapore-population-growth 观看、收听或阅读全文,请访问 https://www.bravesea.com/blog/singapore-population-growth Xem, nghe hoặc đọc toàn bộ thông tin chi tiết tại https://www.bravesea.com/blog/singapore-population-growth Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea Spotify English: https://open.spotify.com/show/4TnqkaWpTT181lMA8xNu0T Bahasa Indonesia: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Vs8t6qPo0eFb4o6zOmiVZ Chinese: https://open.spotify.com/show/20AGbzHhzFDWyRTbHTVDJR Vietnamese: https://open.spotify.com/show/0yqd3Jj0I19NhN0h8lWrK1 YouTube English: https://www.youtube.com/@JeremyAu?sub_confirmation=1 Apple Podcast English: https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/brave-southeast-asia-tech-singapore-indonesia-vietnam/id1506890464

Budgets have been a HUGE topic. Not only on this show but people are starting to notice the overspending and waste on a lot of movies. We just got a report that the Aco;yte actually cost 230M instead of the 180 that was initially reported. Now The Marvels which was rumored at 280M is not actually reported at 378M? What is happening with the decision making with these films? How is this allowed? Speaking of big budgets, The Joker 2 had a MUCH bigger budget than the first and now the second one although first predicted to have a massive opening is now dwindling because of poor reviews. Can it be saved?

Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson dive into the hottest topics from the NFL this week. They discuss the unfortunate injury to Nick Chubb, drawing parallels to Napoleon McCallum's injury and Chubb's last knee injury which also happened when the Cleveland Browns played the Pittsburgh Steelers. Unc and Ocho emphasize the importance of running backs seeking better compensation and long-term security. Also, they scrutinize the Cleveland Browns' decision to give Deshaun Watson a fully-guaranteed $230 million contract which has only produced an underwhelming performance from Watson. Is Deshaun living up to the franchise QB status? Shannon and Chad bring up another struggling quarterback, rookie Bryce Young of the Carolina Panthers. While they acknowledge his rough start, they also express optimism about his potential once he gains more experience and better weapons. Lastly, they touch on Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes' historic payday with a massive restructuring deal, making him the highest-paid player over a four-year period in NFL history, giving him $210.6 million between 2023 and 2026. #Volume #ClubSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
