We have a packed podcast this week. Full of lots of questions others won't ask. Want to know the truth about the current upset at CBS? Find out more through the link below!If you didn't hear the news, “veteran” 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley has been fired for thinking he was above the rules and accusing his bosses at a public meeting of destroying the company. But as we reveal It was Scott and his merry band of journalistic liars who started the rot. They lied and lied even when their hero assaulted Phelim (go to the link below for that video). And talking of the truth - you won't believe what Pope Leo used to write his anti-AI encyclical. From NAZI to Not so Married - Graham Platner. The Democrats thought they had found the perfect candidate to run against Republican Susan Collins in Maine - they were ok with the Nazi tattoo - and the rape jokes but - have they reached the breaking point? We investigate the Nazi sexter who could be in the Senate. And in our Not All Things Considered segment- we expose NPR's failing show where they want to cover up the news, not cover the news. And so we examine their coverup interview of former Vice President Al Gore. They were celebrating, yes celebrating the 20th anniversary of his documentary An Inconvenient Truth but forgot to ask some very crucial questions. We ask the questions they didn't and examine the damage Gore did to children who were terrified the world was ending. Spoiler alert... it didn't.Anti-semitic Ireland is ok with playing Qatar and even Afghanistan in sport, two world leaders in oppression. But there is one country that is beyond the pale - there is no prize for guessing which one it is. Watch this week where one Irish sports pundit lies about the wars Israel is fighting and expresses disgust at the notion of his president shaking hands with an Israeli. What does that sound like to you?The sacrifices we make for you listeners on the podcast. We analyse the latest offerings from that evil bore Dr Jill “Macbeth” Biden. Her book has just come out - and of course she “never ever ever” saw any sign of Joe's decline. Sure we believe her… well except when she thought he was having a stroke. This week we investigate her bizarre response to her husband's health crisis. We finish this week with a crazy California special. Did you know that San Francisco was giving free booze to homeless drunks? Because they are victims of course. And wait until you see how much it costs to give booze to just 55 drunks - I mean victims.

On today's episode, we discuss everything from Tesla's full self‑driving quirks to nuclear‑powered data centers, Elon Musk's “second internet,” and the legal fight over carbon capture in Louisiana. The show opens with light Memorial Day banter and a story about Glenn's Cybertruck “Beast” outperforming traditional trucks on rough backroads, followed by James describing how the latest FSD update slams on brakes for animals—but mysteriously “targets” turtles while expertly dodging potholes. From there, the crew pivots to climate politics and energy, criticizing Al Gore's legacy, talking through Germany's nuclear regrets, and explaining why micro‑nuclear generators and recycled cooling ponds may be the only way to power massive AI data centers like Meta's without crushing local electric grids and water systems. They then zoom out to space, unpacking Musk's plan for thousands of Starlink satellites, a satellite‑based data‑center layer in orbit, and how Starlink effectively functions as a privately owned, high‑speed “second internet” that underpins aircraft, ships, remote sensors, and more.

So Eric Trump is suing Jen Psaki. And I don't even care what the lawsuit is about. Seriously. At this point, if a Trump sues a Democrat, I assume somewhere there's a fax machine crying and three MSNBC producers stress-eating hummus.But I love the symbolism of it. Because for years these people weaponized government against Trump, weaponized the courts, weaponized intelligence agencies, weaponized leaks, weaponized social media. Democrats turned America into the world's first bureaucratic escape room. Every day under Trump was another clue: “To continue your presidency, solve this puzzle hidden inside a subpoena wrapped in a Russia hoax.”Now? Eric Trump says, “Cool. Your turn.”And suddenly the Left discovers legal fees are expensive when USAID isn't covering them.That's the beauty of MAGA. It's not just political anymore. It's cultural gravity. Trump didn't simply survive. He turned political persecution into a franchise model. Democrats thought they were building his prison cell. Instead they built a gymnasium where conservatives learned how to fight.And spare me this media fairy tale that MAGA is “falling apart.” They've been predicting the death of MAGA longer than Al Gore's been predicting the death of the planet. According to cable news, MAGA has died more times than Kenny on South Park.They tell us conservatives are furious with Trump over war policy, personality, tariffs, tone, Truth Social posts, golf scores, the angle of his tie, and probably the migration pattern of geese. Yet somehow, every Republican who publicly betrayed Trump politically evaporated like cheap cologne in Phoenix.Ten out of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump? Gone.Five Republican Senators tied to impeachment efforts? Gone, including Bill Cassidy.The Bush dynasty? Politically taxidermied.Cheneys? The political equivalent of Circuit City.Romneys? Finished.Pence? Mike Pence has less support in the Republican Party than gluten-free biscuits at a Texas rodeo.And this matters historically because the Republican establishment used to operate like a country club with a velvet rope. You got approved by donors, consultants, think tanks, and guys named Whitaker who own loafers without socks. Trump bulldozed that system. MAGA voters looked at decades of “managed decline” from polished Republicans and said, “Maybe the billionaire from Queens screaming at CNN is onto something.”And here's the part the Left still cannot process: MAGA isn't held together by government dependency. That's why it survives attacks.Leftism? Different story entirely.Leftism would collapse inside a month if it had to survive without taxpayer subsidies and foreign influence money. One month. Thirty days. The political equivalent of a juice cleanse.Because modern Leftism produces almost nothing organically anymore. Every institution props it up artificially: academia, entertainment, NGOs, government grants, corporate DEI departments, media partnerships, foreign donors. It's the ideological version of a patient connected to fourteen machines going beep-beep-beep while MSNBC doctors stand around saying, “Vitals look strong!”No they don't.Imagine if Leftists had to balance a budget. Imagine if they had to run cities without deficits, corruption, or dependency. Imagine if they couldn't endlessly siphon taxpayer money into “equity initiatives” that somehow always end with consultants buying vacation homes.Meanwhile, conservatives already do what Leftists only hashtag about. They donate more privately. Volunteer more. Build businesses. Create jobs. Show up after disasters with chainsaws and bottled water instead of interpretive dance and pronoun worksheets.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Movie of the Year: 2006A New Season Begins The Movies of 2006 Podcast Begins: 128 Films Enter the BracketThe movies of 2006 podcast is officially underway, and the Taste Buds are ready to take on one of the richest film years of the 21st century. Ryan, Mike, and Greg kick off the 2006 season on PopFilter by introducing the year, explaining the bracket structure, and beginning the first round of eliminations. Furthermore, Part 1 of the intro sets the tone for a season packed with genuine heavyweights, unlikely contenders, and some of the most debated films of the decade.2006 delivered a field that refuses to cooperate with easy rankings. The Departed sits alongside Pan's Labyrinth, Children of Men, and Little Miss Sunshine in the same calendar year. Additionally, Casino Royale, The Prestige, Babel, Borat, and Idiocracy all arrived in 2006, representing wildly different visions of what cinema can accomplish. The Taste Buds have their work cut out for them.About the 2006 Film Year2006 stands as one of the most celebrated film years of the decade. Martin Scorsese's The Departed swept the Academy Awards, winning Best Picture and earning Scorsese his first Oscar for Best Director. Meanwhile, Guillermo del Toro delivered Pan's Labyrinth, a Spanish-language dark fantasy that works equally as a fairy tale and a historical horror. Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men earned near-universal acclaim for its singular, one-take-heavy vision of a dying civilization.The box office reflected 2006's breadth. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest topped the global charts. Casino Royale relaunched the Bond franchise with Daniel Craig in his debut as 007. Cars kept Pixar's winning streak intact. Moreover, the comedies were just as crowded: Borat, Talladega Nights, Idiocracy, and Clerks II each built devoted audiences. Consequently, building a bracket from this year means making choices that will draw genuine disagreement from all directions.International cinema contributed heavily to 2006's depth. Alejandro González Iñárritu's Babel earned seven Academy Award nominations after competing at Cannes. Pedro Almodóvar's Volver brought Penélope Cruz one of her most celebrated screen performances. The year also produced major releases from Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain), Sofia Coppola (Marie Antoinette), Christopher Nolan (The Prestige), and Mel Gibson (Apocalypto). In practice, few years in recent memory offer this density of debate-worthy titles across this many genres. The movies of 2006 represent a year when every corner of the industry produced something worth arguing about.How the Movie of the Year Bracket WorksMovie of the Year uses a bracket format borrowed from sports tournaments. The Taste Buds seed 128 films from a given year and match them head-to-head across multiple rounds until one earns the title of best of the year. The movies of 2006 provide an especially deep pool to draw from. Each round cuts the field in half: 128 to 64, 64 to 32, 32 to the Sweet 16, and on through the Elite Eight, Final Four, and championship. Notably, the bracket covers the full range of the year — prestige titles, genre pictures, comedies, blockbusters, and deep cuts all compete on equal footing.The seeding and matchups drive the conversation. A high-seeded favorite facing a scrappy underdog often produces the most spirited debates, because the Taste Buds evaluate every film on its own terms. No film earns an automatic pass based on reputation alone. A beloved blockbuster can fall in round one. A smaller film can advance much further than anyone expects. Therefore, the bracket functions as a pressure test for every assumption the hosts carry into the season.The format also distinguishes Movie of the Year from a standard best-of list. The hosts cannot simply rank their favorites and close the debate. Instead, they defend each pick against a direct opponent, round after round. Above all, the bracket produces arguments that a list never could, because every vote carries immediate consequences. To see what this process looks like across a full season, the Movie of the Year archive includes complete coverage of every year the Taste Buds have tackled, including the recently completed 1971 season.The 2006 First Round: Inside the Movies of 2006 Podcast BracketThe first round of the 2006 season pits 64 matchups against one another and cuts the field in half. Part 1 of the intro covers the opening set of battles, with Part 2 completing the round. Even the quickest first-round decisions carry weight, because an early upset can remove a major contender long before the serious rounds begin.2006 gives the hosts no shortage of compelling first-round scenarios. High-profile releases like Superman Returns, X-Men: The Last Stand, and Blood Diamond arrive as recognizable titles but face real scrutiny on merit. Films like Half Nelson, Brick, and Thank You for Smoking represent the indie side of the year with strong critical backing. Moreover, the international titles — Pan's Labyrinth, Volver, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer — introduce a different set of criteria into the matchups entirely.The documentary field adds another dimension. An Inconvenient Truth became one of 2006's most discussed releases and earned Al Gore an Academy Award. Jesus Camp generated controversy and critical notice in equal measure. Additionally, the horror entries, the prestige dramas like United 93 and The Good Shepherd, and the awards-season crowding all create pressure across the bracket from the opening round. Roger Ebert's four-star review of The Departed captures the critical consensus around 2006's most decorated film. Nevertheless, the first round is only the beginning.Why 2006 Still Matters2006 represents a pivotal moment in 21st-century cinema. The year demonstrated that prestige filmmaking and mass entertainment could share a single calendar without one displacing the other. The Departed and Pan's Labyrinth both belong to 2006. Borat and Children of Men arrived the same year. That range matters because the best film years do not produce one kind of great film — they produce many kinds simultaneously.Moreover, 2006 produced titles that have only grown in cultural stature since their release. Idiocracy arrived with little fanfare and now functions as a widely cited cultural reference point. Children of Men drew modest theatrical audiences and currently ranks among the most admired films of the decade in retrospective criticism. The Prestige built a devoted following that continues to generate debate about its structure and its final image. Additionally, Casino Royale remains the gold standard for modern Bond films nearly two decades later.The movies of 2006 podcast gives these films a structured arena to compete. That structure reveals something a ranked list cannot: which films hold up under sustained comparison, which reputations survive direct opposition, and which consensus picks turn out to be more fragile than they appear. 2006 deserves this treatment.

A fiery breakdown of climate politics, media narratives, and global policy claims—this episode revisits decades of warnings about global warming, challenges from political critics who say predictions failed to materialize, and accusations that climate messaging has been used to drive fear and expand government power. The conversation also touches on the IPCC, Al Gore's early climate projections, shifting terminology from “global warming” to “climate change,” and broader geopolitical implications involving China and global energy strategy. EPISODE SUMMARY Today's discussion centers on a sweeping critique of climate policy messaging over the past several decades. The host argues that climate predictions promoted by political figures and international organizations have repeatedly failed to match real-world outcomes, citing historical claims about rising sea levels, disappearing glaciers, and extreme global impacts that did not materialize as projected. The episode also explores how climate language evolved over time—from “global warming” to “climate change”—and questions whether this shift reflected scientific refinement or political repositioning. References are made to IPCC modeling, media amplification, and high-profile figures like Al Gore, alongside claims that worst-case climate scenarios were emphasized without sufficient grounding. Beyond environmental policy, the discussion expands into geopolitics, suggesting that global climate agreements may have disproportionately constrained Western energy development while benefiting strategic competitors. The episode closes by arguing that energy policy decisions over the past 20 years have had lasting economic and national security consequences. SEGMENT BREAKDOWN 1. The “Climate Narrative Shift” Claims that “global warming” was rebranded as “climate change” Argument that messaging evolved as predictions failed to materialize Assertion that fear-based framing was used to maintain political momentum 2.

Crisis doesn't care about your schedule,  and when it hits, the difference between survival and collapse comes down to judgment, preparation, and who you have in your corner. In this episode of Cut to the Chase, Gregg Goldfarb sits down with Itay Ben Horin, one of Israel's leading crisis strategists and owner of Israel's largest communications consulting firm, Ben Horin & Alexandroitz, to unpack what a real crisis looks like and how the best leaders navigate it. From his new English-language book — Crisis Management: Inside Views of How Business and Political Giants Won or Lost Big — to his firsthand role in the 50-day campaign to free Israeli child hostages following October 7th, Itay brings a perspective that is equal parts strategic and deeply human. He walks through 16 case studies covering figures from Lance Armstrong and Bill Clinton to Netanyahu and Chancellor Merkel, extracting the universal lessons buried inside some of history's most high-profile meltdowns and comebacks. Join Gregg and Itay on Cut to the Chase as they explore: What actually defines a crisis, and why most leaders misidentify it Why knowing your target audience is the most overlooked rule in crisis management The 'golden hour' principle and why every hour of preparation equals ten hours in the fire When to act fast, when to wait, and how to tell the difference Why fighting isn't always the answer, and what the smartest exit looks like How social media has permanently changed the crisis management playbook   KEY MOMENTS 0:00 — The opening hook: leadership under real pressure 0:26 — Introducing Itay Ben Horin and what crisis strategy really means 2:03 — When does a bad moment become a crisis? 3:39 — Inside the book: 16 case studies of political and business giants 4:44 — The October 7th hostage crisis and Itay's 50-day campaign for the children 7:03 — The #1 principle: understand your path to victory before you act 9:32 — Lance Armstrong: the cost of refusing to cut your losses 17:04 — Timing is everything, acting too fast or too slow, both kill you 23:03 — The biggest mistakes leaders make when facing a crisis 25:10 — Why 2026 demands a completely different crisis playbook 29:44 — Netanyahu's first primaries; the origin of his 'always attack' strategy 33:02 — Closing: why preparation is the only real competitive advantage   Itay Ben Horin is one of Israel's foremost crisis strategists and the owner of Ben Horin & Alexandroitz, Israel's largest communications consulting firm. With over 25 years of experience advising politicians, corporations, and public institutions through their most critical moments, Itay has been in the room when the stakes couldn't be higher — and has consistently delivered results under pressure. His book, Crisis Management: Inside Views of How Business and Political Giants Won or Lost Big, was a bestseller in Israel in its Hebrew edition and has now been translated into English — featuring 16 real-world case studies and a new chapter on his role in the October 7th hostage crisis. Itay's frameworks have helped clients ranging from global CEOs to heads of state understand that how you handle a crisis is one of the most defining tests of leadership. His coaching methodology focuses on what he calls the "people side" of business: developing leaders who can communicate clearly, build trust, hold teams accountable, and inspire organizations to reach their next level.   The resources mentioned in this episode are: Book: Crisis Management: Inside Views of How Business and Political Giants Won or Lost Big — by Itay Ben Horin (English edition, 2025) Learn More: Ben Horin & Alexandroitz Communications Consulting Firm Case Studies Referenced: Lance Armstrong, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Angela Merkel, Benjamin Netanyahu, Starbucks, McDonald's, BP   Contact Itay Ben Horin / Ben Horin & Alexandroitz: Website: https://ibh.co.il/en/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/itayb1/   Want more insights on leadership, crisis, and the decisions that define careers and companies?

The user-agent string in the HTTP header has been there since the 1990s. The web was built with software navigating it on someone's behalf. For thirty years that someone was a human. That changes now. Matt Biilmann, CEO and co-founder of Netlify, was one of the first to take seriously what it means when the "user" navigating the web is an AI agent. He published the foundational essay on Agent Experience in January 2025, pivoted his entire company around it, and recently shipped netlify.ai as a separate entry point built for agents. We cover the four pillars of Agent Experience, why every product already has an agent experience whether you designed one or not, content negotiation as a way to tell agents to go to a different URL than humans, why SaaS is in real trouble (with a story from inside Netlify about ripping out vendor contracts), how the data-structure assumption that has defined software for fifty years is breaking, and the one thing every website owner should start doing this week.About the GuestMatt Biilmann is the CEO and co-founder of Netlify, the platform that started the Jamstack movement and is leading the shift from developer experience to agent experience. His January 2025 essay on Agent Experience is the foundational text for the discipline. Chapters00:00 Every product has an agent experience (cold open)00:35 The architectural question01:46 Welcome Matt to No Hacks02:15 When AX became a design constraint, not a concept06:44 The January 28 2025 essay and who got it first10:22 Why netlify.ai was built as a separate website12:44 Content negotiation: telling agents to go to a different URL13:54 Qualitative data and the Axis eval framework17:12 Does AX apply to e-commerce and content websites?20:59 The cumulative media argument (TV did not kill radio)25:00 User-agent in HTTP and Al Gore-era agent commerce laws26:33 SaaS business model is dead: build-vs-buy is shifting30:44 The end of structured content as a hard constraint40:25 One thing every website owner should do now43:08 Where to find Matt onlineKey TakeawaysEvery website already has an agent experience. Agent Experience is how AI agents currently interact with your product, whether through computer use, fetching, or working around the barriers you put up. It is not a feature you add. The only question is whether the experience is good or bad.The four pillars: Access, Context, Tools, Orchestration. Matt's framework for thinking about AX systematically. Access answers whether agents can reach your product at all. Context is the prompt-engineering equivalent for agents. Tools are the concrete capabilities you expose. Orchestration covers how agents string those tools together inside your product.Build a separate entry point for agents. netlify.ai is purpose-built for agents while netlify.com remains the human entry point. Content negotiation tells agents to go to one URL, humans see the other. The blessed-path approach beats trying to make one URL serve both.SaaS economics are shifting structurally. The build-vs-buy floor is dropping fast as AI lowers the cost of software. Traditional 90%-margin seat-based SaaS is in real trouble. Dev tool companies have upside because companies need more tools. Everyone else is going to be ripping out vendor contracts and building internally.The data-structure paradigm is breaking. Software engineering has operated on the Linus Torvalds principle that data structures matter more than code. LLMs are not built around data structures. Building software around LLMs means rethinking the assumption that drove fifty years of computer science.Notable Quotes"Every product has an agent experience because all of these agents, whether through computer use or through fetching your website or through working around the barriers you put up from them, have some agent experience right now. It is just a question of is it good or bad.""There is a reason it is called a user agent in the header. It was forward-looking.""We have been ripping out SaaS contracts. Sometimes it is heartbreaking. The rep calls to right-size the contract and the customer reacts with 'let me see if I can build it with an agent.' Then they call back and cancel instead.""The context and the flows and your creativity are probably more important than both the data structures and the code."What To Do NextOpen your website in Claude Code or ChatGPT and ask the agent to complete a real task. Watch where it stalls. That is your AX baseline.Check your traffic logs for AI assistant visitors (ChatGPT-User, Claude-Web, PerplexityBot, GPTBot). The number is rising whether you measure it or not. Cloudflare reports AI assistants are now 5.5% of all internet traffic, up from 3.9% six months ago.Read Matt's January 28 2025 essay on Agent Experience at biilmann.blog as the starting point. Then read the one-year retrospective for the four pillars framework.If you operate a developer tool or any product with a clear automation surface, start a simple eval scenario: take a fresh agent, give it a task, score whether it succeeds. Axis from Netlify will give a proper framework when it ships open source.Resources Mentionednetlify.ai (the agent-built entry point Matt and team shipped recently)netlify.com (the human entry point)Matt's original Agent Experience essay, January 28 2025: biilmann.blogMatt's "AI in the CLI: The Humanoid Robot of the Web" (August 2025)Claude Code (the agent that flipped broad accessibility for CLI coding agents)Connect with Matt BiilmannBlog: biilmann.blogLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/mathias-biilmann-christensen-a5a3805Twitter/X: @biilmann (x.com/biilmann)Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:grjr4il5dredrsuj7nosb4pqMastodon: mastodon.social/@biilmannNetlify: netlify.com and netlify.aiConnect with No HacksWebsite: nohacks.coSubscribe to the newsletter: nohacks.co/subscribeMachine-First Architecture: machinefirstarchitecture.comNo Hacks is a podcast about web performance, technical SEO, and the agentic web.

Tara and Lee tackle redistricting battles, climate controversy, soft-on-crime policies, and a shocking airport tragedy. HOOK From redistricting wars and Supreme Court rulings to explosive climate change claims and a horrifying airport incident, Tara says the political and cultural cracks in America are becoming impossible to ignore. DESCRIPTION Today's AMPERWAVE DAILY dives headfirst into multiple explosive stories dominating conservative conversation nationwide. Tara and Lee break down claims that Democrats are panicking over redistricting fights and census controversies, while South Carolina Republicans face mounting pressure over congressional maps involving Representative Jim Clyburn. The show then pivots into a fiery debate over climate change narratives after critics argued that revised IPCC modeling undermines decades of catastrophic predictions. Tara examines how climate policies shaped energy prices, coal production, manufacturing, and media messaging involving figures like Barack Obama and Al Gore. Later, the conversation turns emotional and intense with discussion surrounding violent crime, repeat offenders, subway attacks in New York City, and the consequences of criminal justice policy debates. The episode closes with reactions to a shocking runway tragedy at Denver International Airport involving a trespasser and a departing aircraft.

Tara breaks down why critics say the climate agenda is unraveling after new IPCC scenario revisions and growing political backlash. HOOK For decades, catastrophic climate predictions shaped energy policy, education, media coverage, and the global economy. Now critics claim the very institutions that promoted those warnings are quietly backing away from their most extreme scenarios — and Tara says the implications are enormous. DESCRIPTION A stunning debate erupts after new revisions from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change spark claims that the most catastrophic warming scenarios were never realistic to begin with. Tara argues the climate movement's “worst-case” predictions fueled massive economic damage, soaring energy costs, manufacturing decline, censorship campaigns, and fear-driven politics for years. The episode dives into how climate models influenced American energy policy under President Barack Obama, why critics say coal and manufacturing were deliberately gutted, and how media outlets are now shifting their messaging. Tara also revisits past predictions from Al Gore and questions how long climate change narratives will remain embedded in schools, politics, and public policy. KEY TOPICS IPCC revisions to extreme climate scenarios Debate over catastrophic climate predictions Energy policy and rising electricity costs Coal industry decline in America Manufacturing movement to China and India Climate change education in schools Media coverage and censorship allegations Political fallout from climate policy debates SEGMENTS SEGMENT 1 — “The Climate Narrative Shock” Tara opens with claims that the climate movement's most catastrophic predictions are quietly being abandoned. The discussion centers on recent IPCC scenario revisions and why critics view them as a major turning point in the climate debate. SEGMENT 2 — “The Cost of the Agenda” The episode explores how climate policy allegedly reshaped the American economy through energy regulations, rising electricity prices, and restrictions on coal production. Tara argues these policies accelerated the decline of U.S. manufacturing. SEGMENT 3 — “Media, Schools, and Fear” Attention turns to how climate change messaging spread through media coverage, education systems, and public institutions. Tara criticizes climate-focused curriculum in schools and argues generations were taught to fear environmental catastrophe.

Drop us a line or two . . .This episode kicks off mid-chaos, as all the best ones do. Queenie's smoking a Triangle Kush pre-roll from Ghost ("it's an Indica — very nice") and TT has accidentally consumed 25 milligrams of passion fruit gummy thinking it was maybe a half of a 20. She's boarding a 5:30 a.m. flight to come see Queenie, a flight that somehow routes through Atlanta and somehow cost her $81 more than advertised because she didn't realize clicking seats wasn't free. The airlines are a grift, Spirit is dead, and — naturally — it's Biden's fault.Which leads, as all conversations apparently do, directly to Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Al Gore, Watergate, and the complete collapse of civics education in America. The women agree: we haven't recovered from Watergate and younger people probably don't know what it is, and here we are. TT brings the news segment, reporting on the DEA rescheduling saga — cannabis going from Schedule I to Schedule III — with the Johns Hopkins/University of San Diego analysis of nearly 50,000 public comments showing most people felt the move didn't go nearly far enough. Descheduling is the word on the street, and a new comment period is open. They also wade briefly into the psychedelics conversation, genuinely puzzled about how mushrooms got in the policy fast lane while cannabis has been grinding for 50 years. Then things get... existential. TT casually drops that her breakfast friends are considering purchasing firearms because they're worried America is heading toward Mad Max territory. Queenie's jaw hits the floor. A real, surprisingly tender conversation follows about fear, scarcity mentality, whether humanity trends toward cooperation or self-preservation, the American Revolution as a civil war, the London Blitz, Sophie's Choice, and — somehow — whether dogs get a better afterlife than people (they clearly do, and TT would prefer to go where the dogs go). The Fuck It segment delivers a listener submission: saying fuck it to tolerating racist, homophobic, or just plain nasty relatives and acquaintances who've gotten newly emboldened. The consensus: read the room, keep your hands to yourself, and if you can't be respectful, don't say anything at all.

Plus, they examine the latest twist in Al Gore's climate change charade.First, Jim and Greg break down Gov. Janet Mills dropping out of the Maine U.S. Senate race, a move that all but hands the nomination to Platner. They revisit the disturbing controversies tied to Platner and highlight how aggressively Mills had previously criticized him.Next, they react to a federal grand jury returning two felony indictments against Comey tied to his “8647” Instagram post last year. Comey now faces charges of threatening to kill President Trump and then distributing that threat through social media. Jim and Greg have no love for Comey, but they explain why this prosecution is likely to fail.Then, they focus on the would-be shooter and his manifesto. And Jim and Greg are stunned as Barack Obama and others on the left claim the motive was unknown long after the manifesto had already been released.Finally, they get a good laugh as former Vice President Al Gore, after decades of warning about the supposedly catastrophic effects of global warming, is now sounding the alarm in the opposite direction.Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing TreesBetter plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.Noble GoldSchedule a free gold strategy session with Noble Gold.

The Judge Jeanine Tunnel to Towers Foundation Sunday Morning Show

Broadcasting from Springfield, Illinois, Joe Concha unpacks a wild week of political chaos and outrageous rhetoric. This episode dives into Candace Owens' baseless conspiracy theories targeting Erica Kirk in the wake of her husband's assassination, and President Trump's hilariously vain reason for refusing a bulletproof vest after surviving three attempts on his life. Joe also roasts The View for their hysterical meltdown over the Supreme Court's latest ruling on racial gerrymandering, calls out Representative Jasmine Crockett for mocking paralyzed Texas Governor Greg Abbott, and exposes Al Gore's sudden pivot from global warming doomsday predictions to warning of a sudden new Ice Age. From the urgent push to pass the SAVE Act before the midterms to extreme execution rhetoric from the Left, Joe breaks it all down with his signature unsparing wit. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mega Edition: David Boies And His Battle Against Jeffrey Epstein (4/30/26)

David Boies is one of the most powerful and controversial attorneys in modern American legal history, best known for representing Al Gore in Bush v. Gore and for building a reputation as a ruthless, high-stakes litigator for corporate and elite clients. Over decades, Boies cultivated an image as a champion of civil rights and complex litigation while simultaneously representing multinational corporations, Hollywood studios, and billionaires accused of serious misconduct. That dual role—public crusader on one hand, elite fixer on the other—has defined his career and ultimately made his involvement in the Epstein saga so damaging to his legacy. By the time Jeffrey Epstein's crimes came under renewed scrutiny, Boies was no longer just a famous lawyer; he was a legal power broker whose choices carried enormous ethical weight.Boies entered the Epstein story as part of the legal team representing Epstein's victims, but his role quickly became controversial when it was revealed that his firm was also working in ways that appeared to protect Epstein's interests and manage reputational fallout for powerful figures connected to the case. Most notably, Boies's firm hired the private intelligence company Black Cube—staffed by former Israeli intelligence operatives—to dig up damaging information on Epstein accusers, a move that shocked observers and survivors alike. This tactic blurred the line between victim advocacy and intimidation, reinforcing long-standing concerns that the legal system was being weaponized to suppress accountability rather than pursue it. In the Epstein saga, David Boies came to symbolize a deeper problem: how elite legal muscle can be used to shape outcomes, silence vulnerable people, and protect powerful networks, even while claiming to stand on the side of justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) just had a complete meltdown — calling White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt a “stone-cold liar” and a “disgrace” after she called out the Left's toxic rhetoric. In this explosive exchange, Jeffries lashed out at Leavitt for correctly linking Democrat demonization of President Trump to the assassination attempt-style shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Instead of condemning the violence, Jeffries doubled down, attacked MAGA, and defended his own “maximum warfare” comments against Republicans. Leavitt pointed out how years of Democrats and the media calling Trump a threat to democracy, a fascist, and worse have created the dangerous environment we're seeing today. Jeffries' response? Pure deflection and hypocrisy. We also cover: Ana Navarro claims WHCD shooting was staged? Fox News pushes Kash Patel on Trump security. Jimmy Kimmel receives a Twitter vomit from Melania Trump? Montage: The Left's HATE toward Donald Trump. King Charles III visits the White House & President Trump. This is exactly why Americans rejected Democrats in 2024. While President Trump and his team focus on securing the country and fighting real threats, House Democrats like Jeffries are still playing the same divisive games.What do YOU think? Is Jeffries' unhinged attack on Karoline Leavitt proof the Left is scared of accountability? Or is this just more Democrat deflection? Drop your thoughts in the comments

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Eric: Ability to connect deeply with his heritage and channel it into meaningful work.Climate change often leaves many wondering how they can make a real difference. Eric Pasi, the CEO of Enterprise Energy, believes he has an answer: invest in sustainable, renewable energy projects. During this episode of Superpowers for Good, Eric shared an exciting way to support the transition to a cleaner future while potentially earning great returns.Eric outlined a bold initiative currently raising $400,000 on the Climatize platform to fund batteries in the Chicagoland area. Batteries are critical for creating a reliable, renewable energy grid by storing solar and wind power for peak demand periods. Eric explained, “We've seen a hockey stick growth in solar and wind deployment... now we need the grid to be more dynamic.” By enabling investments with low minimum contributions, Climatize is making it possible for virtually anyone to participate in funding climate solutions.The project is made possible by Illinois' innovative Clean and Reliable Grid Act. Signed into law in January, it opens new opportunities for distributed battery aggregation, a cutting-edge renewable energy approach. Unlike traditional solar projects requiring large swaths of land, a 5-megawatt battery project, Eric noted, “often needs less than one acre of land.” This efficiency unlocks the potential for swift, scalable development.Enterprise Energy has already demonstrated success with its previous projects. Eric shared, “Last summer, we raised development capital on Climatize for community solar in Illinois... we've closed financially and will be repaying investors early.” The proven track record highlights both the viability of these projects and Eric's commitment to investor trust.Eric's long-standing passion for renewable energy is evident. Since entering the field in 2007, he's developed over 500 megawatts of solar power. This new focus on batteries represents the next step in his efforts to revolutionize energy systems.With Enterprise Energy's transparent approach, promising returns, and tangible environmental impact, this crowdfunding campaign is an inspiring opportunity for investors to align their money with their values. The campaign can be explored online via Climatize and the QR code shared during the episode. This represents an exciting chance to support a resilient, cleaner energy future.tl;dr:Eric Pasi discusses a Climatize crowdfunding campaign raising $400,000 for batteries in the Chicagoland area.Illinois' Clean and Reliable Grid Act enables scalable distributed battery aggregation for renewable energy storage.Enterprise Energy's track record includes early investor repayment for previous community solar projects.Eric attributes his success to his Tongan heritage, inspiring his work in renewable energy development.Investing in Enterprise Energy combines climate solutions with potential financial returns for Climatize investors.How to Develop Creating Purposeful Connection As a SuperpowerEric's superpower is his ability to connect deeply with his heritage and channel it into meaningful work. He explained, “My father was an immigrant from Tonga… the island he came from is mere feet above sea level in most places.” Motivated by the tangible climate risks his family's homeland faces, Eric's passion for the renewable energy sector began with a personal understanding of the stakes. Eric's background, coupled with his drive to create real change, has enabled him to excel both professionally and personally.One of Eric's most inspiring stories involves his journey to COP27, where he marched shoulder-to-shoulder with climate activists from the South Pacific, including Tonga. In a full-circle moment, Eric said, “I met Al Gore on the shore of the Dead Sea... and told him my story.” Through bold actions like these, Eric showcases how he's used his superpower of connection to inspire impactful progress in the climate movement.Eric shared actionable steps for fostering a sense of purpose-driven connection. He emphasized the importance of storytelling, as demonstrated by his own journey: “Knowing your ‘why' can motivate you to push through obstacles.” He also encourages people to embrace learning moments, citing his time with the Climate Reality Project. Lastly, he stressed paying it forward by mentoring others in their energy transitions.By following Eric's example and advice, you can make creating purposeful connection a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileEric Pasi (he/him):CEO, Enterprise Energy LLCAbout Enterprise Energy LLC: Enterprise Energy is a Minneapolis-based developer of distributed energy projects focused on expanding access to affordable, reliable clean power.

Al Gore: Trump Administration Is the Most Corrupt in History

More To The Story: Few political figures occupy the sort of space in American history that Al Gore does. A longtime member of Congress before becoming vice president, Gore lost the presidency in 2000 to George W. Bush after a highly controversial decision by the Supreme Court. But in the years that followed, Gore didn't slink into history. Instead, he worked to sound the growing alarm on climate change, most notably with his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, which came out 20 years ago. A year later, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Today, he's still at it and in many ways more adamant than ever that now is the time to act on global warming, especially as the Trump administration rolls back environmental protections and condemns climate science. But he also has more on his mind than the state of the planet, namely the state of democracy and the direction of the country under President Donald Trump. On this week's More To The Story, the former vice president admonishes the White House for making an “astonishing mistake” in its attack on Iran, looks back at his groundbreaking climate change documentary, and talks about why he believes political will in America is still a renewable resource.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: Something Unexpected Is Happening With Norway's Polar Bears (Vox via Climate Desk)Listen: A New Year, a New War (Reveal)Visit: The Climate Reality ProjectRead: The Assault on Reason: Our Information Ecosystem, from the Age of Print to the Age of Trump (Penguin Books)Note: If you buy a book using our Bookshop link, a small share of the proceeds supports our journalism.

Trump was reportedly warned of this threat, but the failed casino owner blew it off. And now Iran unilaterally controls 20% of the world's oil supply and an even higher percentage of the fertilizer inventory.
