The latest on the violence in Iran … so how should the U.S. and President Trump respond? Democrats in Congress look to defund immigration enforcement as activist judges continue to block the Trump administration at every turn. If the fraud is to be stopped in Minnesota and elsewhere, it has to be now. Supreme Court hears arguments about men competing against women in sports, and Justice Alito shines while Justice Brown Jackson whines. The president gives the bird to a heckler. Long-term Rock and Roll Hall of Fame snubs … is this their year? Secret Service agent gives way too much information to a Tinder date. Will the U.S. and NATO come to blows over Greenland? Is it time to close down every U.S. base around the world? Scott Adams passes away, and tributes pour in. Here come the Patriot Games! Colorado governor admits his state has fraud in it.

For years, President Donald Trump has complained about Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome H. Powell. He's called him names, said he should be fired and has tried to pressure the Fed leader into lowering interest rates.Trump's feud against Powell escalated over the weekend, when Powell revealed that the Justice Department launched a criminal inquiry against him, alleging that Powell lied about the cost of renovations to the Federal Reserve buildings.Host Elahe Izadi speaks to banking reporter Andrew Ackerman about what this probe could mean for Powell, the Fed and whether Trump's consistent pressure on Powell could undermine America's central bank forever.Today's show was produced by Emma Talkoff.

Markets are moving in a healthy direction, according to Kevin Green. He points to a broadening SPX and cooled volatility backing his thesis. When it comes to JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and the start of earnings season, KG notes CEO Jamie Dimon saying the consumer remains resilient, though "surprising" misses elsewhere caught him by surprise.

What's **actually in** for musicians in 2026—and what needs to die already?In this episode, we break down the most **controversial music industry debates** facing working musicians today. From **shorts on stage** to **autotune on live vocals**, **backing tracks**, **silent stages**, and **iPads for lyrics**, we give real-world, gig-tested opinions instead of internet theory.This isn't about “right vs wrong.” It's about what **works in real venues, real gigs, and real budgets**.### Topics Covered:* Shorts on stage: acceptable or unforgivable?* Silent stages, in-ear monitors, and e-drums* Backing tracks and modern live production* Using iPads for lyrics and charts on stage* Autotune on live vocals (subtle vs obvious)* Cover bands changing vs honoring original arrangements* Playing tracks without telling the audience* Sunglasses on stage (day, night, inside… whatever)* Using the same setlist every show* Gear demos with no criticism* “I bought this with my own money” disclaimers* YouTube thumbnail faces (and why creators WON'T stop using them)If you're a **working musician**, **cover band**, **worship player**, **gigging guitarist**, or **music content creator**, this episode tackles the arguments you see every day in Facebook groups, comment sections, and group chats.

In this episode, Paul Andrews digs deep into one of the most common questions beginner guitarists ask: “I know lots of scales, so why doesn't my lead playing or improvisation sound musical?” If you've ever felt overwhelmed by scales or are uncertain how to turn your knowledge into actual music, this episode is for you! Paul Andrews demonstrates how to sound more musical with only one scale and reveals why learning more scales isn't the secret to great jamming.Key Topics CoveredJamming January & PracticethonStart your year strong with Beginner Guitar Academy's January Practicethon! Practice daily, track your progress, and join a community aiming to improve together. There's also a charitable side: help raise money for Jesse's Fund, supporting children with complex needs through music. Myth Busting: Paul Andrews addresses the myth that learning more scales alone will make you a better guitarist. Instead, it's about how you use the scales you know.The Power of LimitationWhy sticking to just one scale (even a tiny section of it) can actually boost creativity, reduce overwhelm, and make your solos sound more intentional and musical.The Four Must-Have Musical Elements for Great Jamming:Repetition: Create memorable hooks by repeating phrases.Space: Let the music breathe; don't play constantly—leave room between notes.Rhythm: Change up the rhythmic feel of your phrases to add interest.Dynamics: Play with volume—soft, loud, or both—to add expression.Hands-On Example:Paul Andrews gives a practical, step-by-step demonstration of how to jam with just three notes from the A minor pentatonic scale over a backing track—creating musical phrases using only repetition, space, rhythm, and dynamics. He encourages students to keep it simple, repeat phrases, and experiment before ever moving on to more notes or scale shapes.Upcoming Events & Resources:There's a “First Steps Jam” happening live on Zoom for Beginner Guitar Academy members—perfect for those nervous to jam in public, as everyone will be muted!Backing tracks, scale diagrams, and a video of this episode are available on bgapodcast.com/268.Backing track used in the episode: https://youtu.be/bkMtp8vt6oE?si=n2G0fRXBNn5OCkJgA Minor Pentatonic Scale: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/n6drxfruuf2yg4n1qi11w/A-Minor-Pentatonic.pdf?rlkey=evq8t819h1m7ak22qtq3qcck0&e=1&dl=0Action StepsJoin the Practicethon: Sign up at bgapodcast.com/january to track your practice, get motivational emails, and be part of the challenge.Support Jesse's Fund: Raise money with your own sponsorship page or donate directly at bgapodcast.com/charity.Practice Jamming: Use one part of a scale, focus on the four key elements, and try improvising over backing tracks for at least five minutes each session.Check Resources: For full lesson notes and backing...

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines 

If a Prion does not exist what has the goverment been lying about for the past 50 years. I am talking scrapie in sheep, BSE in cattle and CWD in cervids.

There have been a lot of good to great films released this year - serious films, films with urgent political underpinnings, films that mix satire, pathos, and artistic ambition with such style that it salves my damaged psyche with a hope that there will be a light at the end of this dark tunnel in which we currently find ourselves. While there is a mordant undertone to many of these transmissions, there is also an implicit message from these artists that life will go on, and there is always love, joy, and gratitude to celebrate at the end of the year.TRAIN DREAMS is such a declaration. Based on a novel by Denis Johnson, the film is a metaphysical meditation on ragged survival through unimaginable grief, and it encompasses all of life and death throughout its dreamscape of primeval imagery. Following the trail of tears of a misbegotten railroad logger, Joel Edgerton delivers the performance of a lifetime, and in the cameo of a wizened old timer-philosopher in the camp, William H Macy transforms to such a degree that he caps his distinguished resume with an Oscar worthy supporting performance.  The Splendid Bohemians nominate this darkhorse masterpiece for film of the year, and would like to honor it today by playing Nick Cave's Train Dreams theme, along with 2 versions of Jackson Browne's Shadow Dream Song  (by Gregg Allman and Tom Rush), and Tom Wait's Innocent When You Dream.

The Biden Administration's latest Executive Order on AI aims to curb a growing patchwork of state-level artificial intelligence laws by directing a DOJ “AI Litigation Task Force” to challenge conflicting state rules, prompting states to signal they're prepared to fight back and underscoring that federal-state AI regulatory tensions are far from settled. For legal, compliance, and marketing teams, this development highlights the importance of monitoring evolving AI obligations at both the state and federal level — even as the Order itself doesn't immediately change compliance requirements — because how it's implemented (and potentially litigated) could significantly affect where and how businesses must comply with AI-related regulation. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Laura Riposo VanDruff and Ioana Gorecki.

From growing up a Broncos and NRL kid in Brisbane to falling in love with Melbourne's AFL culture, Gocsy explains how family ties, Shane Warne, Eric Bana and a bit of self-imposed suffering turned him into a diehard Saints tragic.We yarn about his unofficial role with the club, shooting vids with players, getting shouted membership when he was broke, rubbing shoulders at Best & Fairest nights and copping it non-stop from fans of richer clubs. Gocsy breaks down sports fandom, why people act like they won the premiership, and why following a struggler teaches you to actually enjoy the little wins in footy - and in life.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

In the 1980s, the United States wreaked havoc in Central America. Backing authoritarian dictatorships. Fueling massacres and violence. Funding, training, and organizing the Contras, a paramilitary organization created to overthrow the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua. The US government was spending billions on its interventionist policies across Central America in the name of fighting so-called communism.But people pushed back across Central America. And they also responded in the United States. Hundreds of thousands of people marched in the streets against US intervention in the region. It was the Central American solidarity movement. BIG NEWS!

Welcome back to episode 9 of the Summer Shorts series. This week we take a deep dive with our four Pro Trainers into the topic of Honoring or Backing. Whether for safety, etiquette, or more birds in the bag, honoring is one of most important skills we can teach our dogs. Nobody wants to hunt with the guy whose dogs blow up everyone else's points! As we dive into the four different methods, you will find a baseline of similarity in the desired outcome, with unique approaches on how to train honoring. Some use launchers, others throw birds. Some use ecollar, others prefer no pressure in this training skill. Whatever your cup of tea may be, take a listen and I promise you will be able to take something if not many things away from each pro's method of teaching a dog to honor or back!! Sit back and enjoy!!

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear In the August 1975, APRO Bulletin, the front-page story, headlined “UFOs ‘Escort' Mexican Aircraft” has details of a pilot's reported UFO encounter. Backing him up is confirmation from the air traffic controller who was in contact at the time. What's not included are details of the aftermath, which include reports by the witness of encounters with Men in Black. This part of the story can be found in the 1990 book, The UFO Silencers by Timothy Green Beckley, and in the 1997 British UFO Research publication (page 21 of the pdf) by Robert Bull, Men in Black: A Preliminary Report.According to the Bulletin, at 10:30 a.m. on May 3, 1974, 23-year-old Carlos Antonio de los Santos Montiel, took off from Zihuatenajo, state of Guerrero, in his Piper Aztec 24 with the registration, XB-XAU. He was headed for Mexico City on a cloudy day with poor visibility and had to climb to 14,500 feet to get above it.When he was over Tequesquitengo, he dropped down to try and get a look at Lake Tequesquitengo so he could verify his position. When he got below the clouds, fog and mist near the ground blocked his view of the lake, but his attention was quickly drawn to another matter altogether. To his right, he saw a 3-meter-diameter saucer with a cupula on top that had what looked like a small window and an antenna. He looked to his left and saw an identical object. Both were 20 centimeters above the wings and about 1 ½ meters from the cabin. Read more →

You keep reworking the curriculum of your offer instead of launching it.You're designing a beautiful website, tweaking graphics in Canva, writing posts you never publish.You research.You revise.You overthink.You scroll for “inspiration.”You take notes.You gather ideas.And then you tell yourself it's “not ready yet.”Meanwhile, the days go by.The weeks go by.The months go by.And you're still inside your head…still brainstorming…still “getting things together”…still “working on your offer”…Still.Not. Moving.And here's the truth:Your business will never replace your income if you are avoiding the one action that actually moves the needle.There is ONE thing every successful entrepreneur does.Not the strategy.Not the niche.Not the branding.Not the tech.THIS thing.And until you're willing to do it — like actually do it — your business will stay stuck in place.Let's talk about the moment I realized this…and the six steps that will pull you out of the overthinking loop and into real momentum.Trying to build a business without being seen…When I pivoted into business coaching, I immediately have 7-8 clients I started working with. One day I decided to sit down, and analyze their intake forms for my market research.I sat with them.I studied them.And at some point as I was deep in my analysis of the research, it hit me.The truth was suddenly screaming off the page:They are trying to build a business without being seen. It was like they were hiding in the backend of their business.Hiding behind tasks that “felt productive” but didn't require emotional exposure.Once I saw this pattern… I couldn't unsee it. And the image that came to mind was of my dog in residency, Champion.The hidey hole: The Place You Hide When Something Feels Too VulnerableBack when I was in residency, I had a sweet little dog named Champion.Champion loved me… and was terrified of almost everyone else.So when the dog walker came into my apartment?He would run straight into the back of my closet — this tiny corner we affectionately called his Hidey Hole — and refuse to come out.She'd have to gently coax him out every single time.He wasn't trying to make everyone's life difficult. His nervous system was just overwhelmed and he was instinctively trying to protect himself. What I realized is… My clients were trying to build their businesses from a hidey hole. And maybe this is something you do as well. You're recording podcasts… but sending them to no one.You're outlining programs… but never releasing them.You're creating content… but never publishing it.You're planning and working and creating on your computer… but hesitate to put your work out into the world. You are trying to build your business from a hidey hole because you are afraid of being seen. It's avoidance — disguised as productivity.It's doing the safe work.The solo work.The invisible work.The work that doesn't involve other people, opinions, or outcomes.And just like Champion — you're hiding because something feels scary.Something feels too vulnerable.Something feels too emotionally risky.But here's the real problem:You can't build a business from a hidey hole. Not a real one.Not one that makes money.Not one that replaces your income.Because a business that makes money requires you to put yourself out there. It requires you to get in the arena.Getting in the arenaLet's throw it back to Teddy Roosevelt's man in the arena speech…“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomingWho knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement.And who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”That quote says it all. Being an entrepreneur forces you to choose what kind of person you want to be.Do you want to be in the arena?Or do you want to be a cold and timid soul?Arena Action vs. Hidey-Hole ActionLet's define these two types of actions right now so we are on the same page. Hidey Hole Action involves you and your computerArena Action involves other people.Hidey Hole action is all the stuff you do alone:* brainstorming* tinkering* curriculum building* tweaking graphics* editing modules* planning* re-planning* researching* thinkingAll the internal, safe, low-exposure work.Arena action is anything with a chance of emotional exposure:* reaching out to someone* pitching a collab* posting content* sharing your offer* having market research convos* doing a livestream * hosting a webinarArena action is what actually builds a business.Hidey Hole action is what keeps you busy and distracted. And if you are unwilling to do arena action your business will never make money. So today, I'm walking you through the 6 strategies for getting into the arena. 1. Accept That It's RequiredWhen I first started building my business, I didn't realize what it took to build a business. I signed up for a life coaching certification without actually thinking about how I would get clients. For some reason it didn't seem relevant. But on week 3 of my certification training, I opened the workbook to the section called “Prospecting.”Prospecting — which was really the practicing of building relationships with potential clients. I read through the workbook. Feeling more horrified with each sentence that I read. Stunned, I closed my laptop. Internally I was screaming…” wait I have to do WHAT?”Up until that moment, I hadn't thought about the “business” part of building a business. I wasn't thinking about having sales conversations.I wasn't thinking about doing marketing. So the realization I would have to put myself out there like a mormon on a mission filled me with dread. I seriously thought about quitting right then. Backing out of the whole business thing. But instead, I decided to commit.I realized that entrepreurship required stepping into the arenaover and over agiain.and I decided to rise to the challenge. You know what they say… . acceptance is the first step. So thats what I need you todo first. Take a moment and let it sink in for real.You cannot build a business without being seen.You can't build a business in a hidey hole.You must take bold + vulnerable action again and again to build a business. Entrepreneurship requires you to step into the arena.Period. 2. Choose the Discomfort of GrowthThe concept of comfort zone is a lie. People think they can either choose to stay in their comfort zone, or get out of their comfort zone and grow. That's not the choice. Because the truth is “stay in your comfort zone” is not a real choice. You can stay put where you are, but where you are is not comfortable.If your current situation was truly comfortable… you wouldn't be trying to solve for it. You are not comfortable. You are in familiar discomfort. The choice is NOT stay in your comfort zone or get out of your comfort zone because every path has discomfort. The real choice is which discomfort to you want?The discomfort of stagnationorthe discomfort of growth? You will be uncomfortable either way, so all you can do is choose your preferred discomfort. 3.Leverage your social circleWhen I surrounded myself with other entrepreneur friends — people who were also posting, launching, experimenting it became so much easier to do it myself.Putting yourself out there.Taking on emotional risk to build something of your own became a social currency. A normal behavior. I wasn't the only one feeling exposed — everyone was.We were all in the arena together.And that's the magic of community:Proximity normalizes fear.When the people around you are doing brave things regularly, your bravery starts to rise to meet theirs.4. Learn How to Regulate and Process Your EmotionsThe only reason you avoid stepping into the arena is because you are afraid of your own feelings. * You're afraid you won't get the result you want and feel disappointed.* You're afraid people will judge you and you'll feel embarrassed.* You're afraid of getting a no and feeling rejected. * You're afraid you'll feel like a failure.It always comes back to a feeling. If you weren't afraid of those emotions, nothing would stop you.This is why emotional regulation matters so much.Because when you know how to:* process your emotions* be with your emotions* support yourself through your emotions* expand your emotional capacitythere's nothing to be scared of. Your fear shrinks.Your capacity expands.The reason I can get into the arena on such a regular basis is because I've trained myself to hold all emotions. I feel so confident in my emotional capacity.That doesn't mean I'm not afraid, but I can manage the fear because I trust myself to manage all my emotions. Once you learn how to manage your emotions, the arena stops feeling like an existential threat — and starts feeling like a fun challenge. 5. Anchor Yourself in the MissionWhen you're rooted in your mission the arena stops feeling like a personal performance… and starts feeling like service.This is where your clarity anchors come in:* Who you're here to help* The result you help them achieve* Why you're the one to lead themWhen you're grounded in those three truths, everything shifts.You're no longer entering the arena to “prove yourself.”You're not posting for validation.You're not launching to feel worthy.You're doing it because your people need you.When your mission is bigger than you, your courage increases.Your willingness expands.Your resistance softens.It's not about being selfless — it's about being mission-led.When you anchor into why you're here and who you're here to serve…you stop obsessing over how you look and start focusing on who you can help.That mission pulls you forward in a way willpower never could.And some days, that mission is the only thing that gets you into the arena.6. Make “Getting Into the Arena” the Entire MetricThis is the one that frees you.Most people avoid the arena because they're terrified of what will happen after the action:“What if I launch… and no one buys?”“What if I pitch… and no one responds?”“What if I try… and it flops?”But that fear only exists because you're measuring the wrong thing.Your metric — especially in the beginning — is NOT:* Did it sell?* Did it convert?* Did people like it?* Did it work?Your metric is simply:“Did I get into the arena today?”That's it.Did you launch the thing?Did you post the post?Did you submit the pitch?Did you put yourself out there?That is the only metric that matters at the start.When getting into the arena becomes the whole metric, something magical happens:You stop tying your self-worth to outcomes.You start celebrating your courage instead of critiquing your performance.And once you've mastered that — the consistency, the self-trust, the willingness to show up — THEN you can start focusing on outcomes.But not before.Because you cannot optimize what you're too afraid to do consistently.So let the metric be simple.Did you get into the arena?If yes → celebrate.If no → hold yourself accountable. That's how momentum is built.That's how capacity is built.And that's how businesses are built.It's time to get into the arena…At the end of the day, business is not built in your Google Docs, or your Canva files, or the safe little corners of your brain where everything feels theoretically perfect.Business is built in the arena.It's built in the moments when you choose to feel the discomfort instead of avoiding it.When you choose growth over hiding.When you choose the mission over your fear.When you choose showing up even when there's no guarantee of how it will go.Every entrepreneur you admire has felt the exact same emotions you're feeling right now — the doubt, the fear, the awkwardness, the vulnerability — and the only difference is that they kept going.They didn't wait to feel ready.They didn't wait for perfection.They didn't wait until certainty arrived.They increased their emotional capacity.They anchored into their mission.They made “getting into the arena” the only metric that mattered — until it became normal.And that is available for you, too.So if you take nothing else from this:Stop measuring success by outcomes you haven't earned the emotional reps for yet.Start measuring success by your willingness to step into the arena at all.Because when you consistently show up — even imperfectly, even shakily, even with your heart beating out of your chest — you become the kind of person who can hold the results you say you want.You become someone who can launch.You become someone who can sell.You become someone who can lead.You become someone who can succeed.Not because you eliminated fear — but because you learned how to walk with it.So ask yourself:Did I get into the arena today?If the answer is yes — that's everything.If the answer is no — you know exactly what to do next.Your business will grow in direct proportion to the number of times you choose courage over comfort.Get into the arena.Feel what you need to feel.Show up again tomorrow.This is how you become the entrepreneur you want to be.If you want to join me in the arena, this is exactly what we do inside of Create Your Six Figure Offer.

Scott Rizzuto, Anthony Stalter, and Tim McKernan limp into The Spread Zone after another brutal betting week—but the crew is fired up to bounce back for College Football Week 10 and NFL Week 9. The guys dissect tough beats, missed lines, and the soul-crushing Falcons-Dolphins under… then get aggressive with a fresh card. In CFB, the trio doubles down on Mississippi State again, rides with Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Michigan, and throws sharp plays on Cincinnati, Duke, and even Vanderbilt (+1.5 vs. Texas). On the NFL side, they mix it up with unders, overs, and heated disagreements—Rizz backs the Pats, Tim's fading that with the Falcons, and Anthony drops a Bears bet with disgust. FanDuel Locks of the Week are in: Ohio State -20.5, Texas Tech -7, and Seahawks -3.5. It's high risk, high chaos, and one of them is all in on the Red Raiders' playoff run.The Spread Zone is presented by FanDuel Sportsbook.*LEGAL DISCLAIMER*We provide information about sports betting for entertainment purposes only.
