From Olympic snowboarder to one of the biggest cocaine traffickers in North American history — this is the unbelievable story of Ryan Wedding. In this episode, Johnny breaks down how a privileged Canadian athlete went from chasing gold medals to running a billion-dollar cocaine empire alongside some of the most powerful cartels in the world. You'll hear how Wedding built a massive trafficking network stretching from Colombia to Mexico, the U.S., and Canada… how his operation moved tens of tons of cocaine every year… and how a series of murders, informants, and arrests finally brought his empire crashing down. The episode also dives into the mystery surrounding his 2026 arrest — including shocking claims about a fake Instagram account, possible cooperation with authorities, and the question everyone is asking:

A 10-index golfer misses the green, but he's close to the green. Would he be better to be in the rough or the bunker? And by how much? In this episode, Lou brings the question to Mark and Greg. The first drama: can Greg continue trotting? Will the podcast continue when Lou needs to be rebooted mid-episode? And how can ordinary golfers make bunkers less penalizing?Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat. We will discuss what you can learn, and most importantly, how you can apply this on the golf course to lower your scores and lower your handicap.Listen on your drive to the golf course or over your Saturday morning coffee!Data is sourced from Arccos Golf.

Feb 18, 2026: What's Next for AI AcceleratorsAMD's CEO Lisa Su thinks the market for cutting-edge AI chips will be worth $1 trillion annually by 2030 and NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang (who happens to be Lisa's cousin once-removed) believes AI infrastructure spend will total $4 trillion during the next five years.If those forecasts are even directionally correct, both AMD and NVIDIA will still have quite an extended growth runway in this red hot semiconductor sector.But are these admittedly self-serving forecasts actually realistic?Or is AI hardware likely to become commoditized and lower-priced during that timeframe?And are there other competitors who might also pose a challenge in this two-horse race?On Wednesday's show, I was joined by Chip Stock Investor founder Nick Rossolillo to describe what lies ahead for both NVIDIA and AMD.We also discussed why Apple is spending significantly on CapEx less than its other Big Tech peers, whether Moore's Law is actually dead, and the role of newcomers like Cerebras Systems and IonQ.#NVIDIA #AMD #semiconductors #AIchips #JensenHuang #LisaSu #chipstocks #datacenter #investing #Broadcom #Apple #TSMC #Cerebras #quantumcomputing #7investing #chipstockinvestor #techinvesting #AIinfrastructure #hyperscalers #GPUvsCPU #waferschale #FormulaOne #poleposition #techanalysis #stockmarket2026

With over a billion creators projected to be active in the next decade, is the traditional distinction between a brand, a publisher, and a creator in need of an updated definition? Agility requires not just reacting to new platforms, but fundamentally rethinking who creates your content and how you build an authentic community around it. It's about moving from a campaign mindset to an ecosystem mindset. Today, we're going to talk about the seismic shift in the media landscape, driven by the explosive growth of the creator economy. We'll explore how the very definition of a creator is evolving from a short-term influencer to a long-term brand builder, and what opportunities and challenges this presents for established brands that are trying to earn and keep their audience's attention. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Andrew Perlman, Co-Founder and CEO at Recurrent. About Andrew Perlman Andrew Perlman is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Recurrent. Perlman co-founded the company in 2018 with the acquisition of The Drive.

In 2022, Perlman rejoined the organization from his role on the board as the Head of M&A and Corporate Development before he assumed the role of CEO in 2023.

FedEx is suing the U.S. government for a full refund after the Supreme Court ruled the president lacked authority to impose certain tariffs, and the panel breaks down the $175 billion in refund claims from companies like L'Oréal, Dyson, Prada, and Costco, debating whether the ruling was about process, not legality, and what it means for negotiation leverage, small businesses, and America's ability to compete with China on national security priorities like semiconductors and rare earths.

On this episode I chatted with Oil & Gas and Real Estate entrepreneur Michael Horton about his career and love for the state of Oklahoma. Michael grew up in Ardmore Oklahoma, graduated from OU and dove head first into the Oil & Gas industry. Finding great mentors from the industry, some from his alma matter or OU. Michael soared into leadership roles everywhere he worked. From New Orleans, Midland, Tulsa and then to Denver Michael stayed focused on growth with great people around him. After multiple Billion dollar exits he turned his focus on Real Estate for a stint and founded Good Living Ventures, rehabbing mobile home parks in Arizona. Transforming forgotten and neglected properties into safe, clean and thriving communities. But Michael has the Oil & Gas bug back in a big way and is ready to get back into the mix here in Oklahoma.

Vice President JD Vance DROPS THE HAMMER on fraud-plagued Minnesota! The Trump administration is temporarily halting $259 MILLION in federal Medicaid payments until the state stops the massive taxpayer waste. This is the FIRST big win in President Trump's "war on fraud." In his State of the Union address, Trump warned Americans about the shocking corruption shredding our nation, calling Minnesota a "stunning example" where members of the Somali community have pillaged an estimated $19 BILLION from hardworking taxpayers.

Is the release of files on Project Artichoke a joke, mockery, or part of a plan to deconstruct the state? While parroting patriots brag about Olympic gold medals, the White House is at work gutting the tenth amendment, first over artificial intelligence, and now over glyphosate and agricultural chemicals.The release of files on 9/11, JFK, RFK, MLK, Epstein, etc., have vindicated as many conspiracy theories. But much of what was learned by some had already been known by others. Other files have not been released, or conspiracies exposed, like Project Artichoke or Northwoods. A new document pertaining to Artichoke was added to a CIA archive recently but the program has been known about since the 1970s. Nothing new has been released on Northwoods, yet the paper circulated as if it had been in 2025. DOGE exposed waste, but this was not the first time that has happened. Former FBI officials saying phones can be used to spy or influencers pointing out that many foods are food-like substances are both old news. The public is being fed already available information laced with poison. The goal appears to be the undermining of what little faith remains in all foundational, legacy systems. People then demand new parties and system of government. This is where Curtis Yarvin, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and JD Vance, among others, come into play. Their neoreactionary movement advocates for exposing flaws in the current system - failed democracy and bloated bureaucracies - to replace them with technological-monarchy and autocracy. A great example of how this is being done can be found in the issue of glyphosate. In Dec 2025: USDA announces $12 Billion to help farmers pay for chemicals/fertilizer. On Jan 2026: USDA releases the Pesticide Data Program report declaring 99% of food "safe” based on a USDA benchmark. On Feb 2026: Trump uses the Defense Production Act to label weedkiller a "national security asset." As with the Big Beautiful Bill, which was a massive and wasteful bill that stripped state-rights over Artificial Intelligence, HR 7567 is attempting to do the same with pesticide labeling. It calls for “uniformity in pesticide labeling nationally” and will “prohibit any State... or a court from directly or indirectly... hold[ing] liable any entity.” The bill effectively destroys the 10th amendment and state rights, setting an additional precedent for federal control. It's not just business as usual, it's worse business and it's worse than usual. The long declassified Project Artichoke, or the exploration of mind control, supposedly being to classified at the same time appears to be nothing more than a mockery and a joke.https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr7567/BILLS-119hr7567ih.pdfhttps://www.usda.gov/farmers-first https://www.ams.usda.gov/press-release/usda-publishes-2024-pesticide-data-program-annual-summaryhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/02/promoting-the-national-defense-by-ensuring-an-adequate-supply-of-elemental-phosphorus-and-glyphosate-based-herbicides/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

 How are kids graduating without being able to read in one of the most well-funded school systems in America? Investigative reporter Christopher Papst helped expose how Baltimore City Public Schools received billions in funding but students were leaving without mastering the basics. In this episode, he shares shocking details of how the school system has failed its students and the community — including why kids are pushed to the next grade after missing most of the school year and how policies like the “50% rule” make it easier to pass than to learn. Join our conversation to learn who's responsible, where the money has actually gone, and what we can do to improve our school systems beyond Baltimore. Learn more about what the full investigation uncovered in Chris's book, Failure Factory: How Baltimore City Public Schools Deprive Taxpayers and Students of a Future:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNDQQY1T/Connect with Chris Papst:EmailConnect with Jamie at Truman Charities:FacebookInstagramLinkedInWebsiteYouTubeEmail: info@trumancharities.comThis episode was post produced by Podcast Boutique https://podcastboutique.com/

When Mayor Lurie took office, San Francisco was spending nearly $1 Billion a year responding to homelessness, yet the number of people living unsheltered had not budged in years. In this episode, Kunal Modi, the city's Chief of Health and Human Services, shares how the Lurie administration is tackling the intersecting homelessness, mental health and addiction crises. Rather than layering on new programs, the city is attempting something harder: redesigning how fragmented systems work together.Kunal and Claudia discuss:The city's move to unify fragmented and siloed outreach teamsThe importance of shifting accountability and decision-making to the front linesHow San Francisco's strategy is leveraging the community supports in CalAIMWhy solutions need to reflect the intersecting nature of the homeless problemKunal reminds us that ending the cycle of homelessness is far more complicated than just finding housing:“This is more than a homelessness crisis, it's an intersecting homelessness, behavioral health, and drug addiction crisis that we need to bring our healthcare system and our social service system in closer alignment… We need to reorient our Public Health strategies to not only support those in crisis, but to think about the broader communities and neighborhoods.”Relevant LinksSee Mayor Lurie's thoughts on the “Breaking the Cycle” initiativeGet more information on the City's new RV parking restrictionsRead the Crankstart report on tackling homelessness in San Francisco About Our GuestKunal Modi is the policy chief of health, homelessness, and family services in San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie's administration.

Someday soon your Uber could arrive with no one in the driver's seat, and a Kiwi's tech is behind the shift. UK self-driving company Wayve, spearheaded by Alex Kendall, has secured $1.5 billion in capital to support to the commercial roll out of their ‘Robotaxis'. The funding round also includes backing from Mercedes, Nissan, Microsoft and Nvidia, while local VC Icehouse Ventures is contributing $12.5 million to the capital raise. Kendall told Mike Hosking there's a couple of different ways to commercialise self-driving technology – creating your own cars, running your own fleets, or licensing the technology. Wayve is using the third option, and he says the AI they've built is so flexible that it will be able to bring self-driving technology worldwide.

Most entrepreneurs think the hardest part of building a company is the product.For Jim McKelvey — co-founder of Square — the hardest part was the system around the product.Because Square wasn't just competing with other startups …It was competing with regulations, middlemen, entrenched networks, and monopolies designed to keep outsiders out.In this episode, Jim shares the mindset and tactics that helped Square go from a tiny card reader that processed credit card payments … to a company—now known as Block— that generates over $10 billion in gross profit.What You'll Learn:Why the market is often “locked” on purposeHow a simple hack can solve a seemingly complex problemHow candor can sway investors more than confidenceHow Square survived by building something Amazon couldn't copyTimestamps:00:12:26 – Engineering and art: Balancing an IBM job with glassblowing00:15:46 – The family trauma that rewired Jim00:36:26 – Losing a $2,000 sale — the moment Square was born00:43:06 – Breaking into the credit card club: “We were violating 17 rules”00:48:31 – The headphone jack hack that sidestepped Apple's control00:58:03 – The “140 reasons we might fail” pitch that won over investors01:06:26 – The taxi ride that convinced Jim he had product-market fit01:09:28 – Amazon attacks, and why copying doesn't always work01:13:18 – The founder's job after success: choosing hard problems***Hey—want to be a guest on HIBT?If you're building a business, why not get advice from some of the greatest entrepreneurs on Earth?Every Thursday on the HIBT Advice Line, a previous HIBT guest helps new entrepreneurs work through the challenges they're facing right now.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 62: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In case you somehow missed it, Kash Patel's enablers at the FBI (Fan Boys International) were busily denying he went to Italy for the Olympics just to see the hockey game and jock-sniff the victorious U.S. team when all sorts of video leaked out of the dressing room showing him doing exactly that - dancing, drinking, cringing. And then Patel himself couldn't resist Supposedly we sent 100 agents to help with security and he just had to be there. Guesstimated cost just for his latest stage of his perpetual vacation on our dime? $400,000. It would be bad - a future administration will probably address it as misappropriation of funds. But what makes it worse is there's a piece by Patel from 2022 complaining about previous FBI directors wasting money on vacation, and a clip about his FBI predecessor Christopher Wray's vacation travel. Simply impeaching him is insufficient. He needs to go to prison. NOT THAT TRUMP WOULD DO THAT; THIS IS THE BEHAVIOR TRUMP TEACHES: Trump is a thief and he owes you and me at least 293 billion dollars - and we want it back. The worst thief in American history - and 270 billion of that is in tariffs. Because on tariffs, the Supreme Court has given him his COMEUPPANCE. Well – it’s given him A comeuppance. Because his new argument for the new REPLACEMENT Monday tariffs was his old argument AGAINST overturning the old Friday tariffs. But the key thing the Court actually did was give his cult a mortal shock. It is the first official body to give the Trump-Town Guyana Death Cult the message: that he is making this crap up, as he goes ALONG. -- Plus: an actual good idea from Boris Johnson: to send peacekeepers to Ukraine – NOW. And I’M the guy who thinks the Hockey Gold Medal is a BAD THING. And no, the John Barron who called into C-SPAN wasn’t Trump – he was too coherent. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Mark Zuckerberg manages to lose a lawsuit before the trial starts, Kid Rock proves he's not charging $5000 for front row tickets by confessing he IS charging $5000 for front row tickets, and Stephen Miller's wife has another one of those Freudian slips that may be desperate pleas for help from inside a bad situation. C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Baseball has already started so time for my annual explanation: why I don't work for baseball's TV network even though they offered me my own show and I accepted it.

In this interview, Kerry Lutz speaks with Michael Pento about how liquidity may already be expanding by as much as $20 billion per week, quietly pushing the Federal Reserve's balance sheet back toward $7 trillion — despite continued claims of tight policy. He warns that the next recession could bring massive deficits in the $4–6 trillion range, potentially forcing the Fed to become the primary buyer of U.S. debt once again. If that happens, inflation may not be accidental — it could be the result of outright monetization. Pento also points to historically extreme valuations in stocks and housing, suggesting markets may need a significant reset to return to long-term norms. He believes gold remains in a long-term bull market and could accelerate higher as recession pressures mount and monetary expansion increases. Pento outlines a defensive approach that includes holding physical gold, adjusting liquidity as conditions change, and watching credit markets for early signs of stress. These long-term cycles are explored in The Armstrong Economic Code— and understanding them may help investors prepare for what comes next.

In this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent break down a volatile week in global logistics where political shifts and cartel violence are fundamentally redrawing the map of North American trade. The discussion centers on the "green gold" wars at the border, exploring a high-stakes reality where cross-border freight has shifted from a capacity challenge to a survival mission. Following the killing of a major cartel boss, violence along U.S.-Mexico freight corridors has surged, prompting shelter-in-place orders for U.S. citizens and a spike in cargo theft. Adding to the complexity, the hosts analyze the economic ripples of President Trump's new 10% global tariff, implemented in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that blocked emergency trade powers. Shifting focus from the border to the facility, Justin Malone, Director of Field Safety at The Miner Corporation, joins the show to highlight why the loading dock—rather than the open highway—is often the most dangerous part of an operation. Malone breaks down the "handoff" moment where communication between drivers and facilities frequently fails, leading to life-threatening risks. He dives deep into the phenomenon of "trailer creep," explaining why this silent killer occurs and how basic safety tools like wheel chocks and dock locks are often dangerously ignored or misused. The conversation then turns toward the financial core of logistics technology with Matthew Everson, SVP of Sales & Marketing at IntelliTrans. Everson challenges the industry's current obsession with visibility, arguing that tracking dashboards can become "money pits" if they aren't balanced against carrier economics. He asserts that the true financial center of gravity for shippers lies in carrier performance and selection, focusing on the specific KPIs that actually drive profitability. Amidst this tech-heavy discussion, Everson also notes Nashville's rise as a critical emerging hub for both logistics and technology. The episode rounds out with a look at major industry headlines, starting with a judge's approval of $150,000 UPS driver buyouts. The hosts debate whether this move signals a strategic labor reset or serves as a warning sign for the broader industry. Finally, the team covers the immediate logistical impact of a massive winter blizzard that has ground container terminals to a halt at major Northeast ports, adding further strain to an already pressured supply chain. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

The fellas — Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook — dive headfirst into the insanity. New York's Mamdani budget math doesn't add up. $50 billion for schools. Massive spending hikes. “Tax the rich” — except it never stops there. Is this the future Democrats want nationwide? IN THIS EPISODE… • The jaw-dropping NYC budget breakdown • Why raising taxes never fixes the problem • Eric Swalwell's resurfaced poetry • Trump's stand-up moments at the Board of Peace PLUS, A LIBERAL PARENTING GROUP CHAT TURNS INTO A WAR ZONE. Yes. A DC mom group melts down over Israel, Gaza, and “comrades.” You truly can't make this up. Then — Featured Interview: Todd Ricketts

Jim Hill and Eric Hersey dig into Universal's latest infrastructure plans, unpack Epic Universe updates, and then travel back to the late 1980s to reveal how The Land Before Time quietly reshaped the home video industry.

A $50 billion pot of money for rural health care made it into last year's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, President Trump's hallmark tax and spending law. But the funding comes in tandem with massive cuts to Medicaid spending — an existential risk to many rural hospitals. On today's show, Kimberly speaks with KFF Health News correspondent Arielle Zionts about the potential benefits of the Rural Health Transformation Program and its potential shortfalls.
