One of the challenges of modern legal journalism is recalling that case law, doctrine, and Supreme Court decisions aren't a complete picture, without including the lived realities of the people whose lives and communities are often turned upside down by changes in the law.On Tuesday night, the Supreme Court's far-right flank vastly expanded its holding in Louisiana v. Callais to make it harder, if not impossible, to challenge racist voting maps designed to suppress Black votes. The shadow-docket decision misrepresented its own holding in Callais and discarded a case it had already decided. With the conservative supermajority tossing a lower-court panel's finding in Allen v. Milligan and further erasing voting rights for Black Americans across the country, Amicus revisits our 2022 conversation with Evan Milligan, the named plaintiff, at the time the case first came to the high court. Milligan explained what's at stake for the very real people living in gerrymandered districts in Alabama's Black Belt region; a gerrymander blessed this week that was forbidden just three years ago.Later, Dahlia Lithwick talks with Andrew Weissmann, an MS NOW legal analyst, NYU law professor, and veteran federal prosecutor who served as lead prosecutor under special counsel Robert S. Mueller and as chief of the DOJ's Fraud Section. Even with Opinionpalooza heating up at the high court, Weissmann pauses to analyze a busy week in democratic dismantling at the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill. And, Weissmann proposes something truly shocking— real accountability for public officials who lie, as laid out in his new bestselling book, Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America.

Leor Weiss has been training jiu jitsu since 2007, when, at eighteen, he walked into a gym and began what would become a near two-decade education in controlled violence. He now holds a second-degree black belt under Daniel Gracie and teaches at the Renzo Gracie Academy in Brooklyn. What distinguishes Weiss from the more monastic practitioners of his discipline is the breadth of his curiosity. He has traveled to Japan not for tournaments but for forests. He is devoted to the films of David Lynch. He is drawn, above all, to people whose circumstances bear no resemblance to his own. In this wide-ranging podcast, we talked about Leor's arc from non-athletic gamer to black belt, his knack for teaching, and the crossover between jiu jitsu and surfing.

This week's guest is a true BAD ASS. Not because he's BIG, he's also had 40 years of Martial Arts training. He earned Black Belts across multiple disciplines. But just like in Martial Arts, he didn't get his career starting at the top. He began his journey as a white belt, packing boxes at the warehouse in the early days of Billabong. Fast-forward 30 years, he climbed the ranks to a Black Belt level career, serving as a Global VP of Supply Chain at Volcom. He led the responsible production compliance, championing for fair labor practices, and played a key role in the groundbreaking sustainability initiative “Farm to Yarn”. This guy is incredible, he is also certified firearms instructor. He's a security and protection specialist who provides tactical and medical training for both professionals and civilians through his company Mana Group Training Solutions. We're fired up and welcome to show, our good friend, Tony “BIG TONY” Alvarez.

Last night, after dinner, I was having a conversation with Braxton about the mind.   For a ten year old, he is amazing in my eyes because he is so interested in learning about concepts like mindset and theater of the mind.   Anyways, I told him that the mind works much the same as the belt system in martial arts.  We all start out as white belts and then it's up to us, as individuals, to advance up the ranks.   Each day and each week, we are given experiences in the form of mental and spiritual resistance training that can add another stripe to our mental belt.   Unfortunately, most people shrink away from these types of resistance training sessions because they feel like a struggle.  And that's because they are a struggle, but struggling is a good thing!  That is where learning and growth comes from.   In today's episode, I discuss what each level of belt looks like in terms of learning, awareness, mindset and approach.  I close out with sharing some concepts with you that have worked for me and that will get you to begin to think differently.  As you advance up the ranks, you will be faced with more advanced 'opponents', and to eventually beat those opponents, you wll have to use a different line of thought.   Let me know any questions and don't forget to leave a review if you haven't already, it helps the show out a lot! Thanks in advance! Be Unconventional, Kyle Newell aka Panda Man P.S. - If you have never had a Coach but you've been curious, then shoot me a text.  I am happy to discuss how it works and what you would be looking to get out of the experience.  And I will be the first and fastest one to tell you if it's not a good fit at this point.   Coaching is invaluable if the student is ready.  Here's my cell, feel free to text me: 908-229-6666

In this episode, I share how competing against a two-time world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu shaped my understanding of leadership and personal growth. I highlight the significance of hard work and preparation, drawing parallels between competition and leadership challenges in business. I discuss overcoming fears, resilience, and the continuous journey of growth, likening the path to success to the pursuit of a black belt. I outline three key lessons: growth knows no limits, preparation is vital, and the most significant battles occur within our minds. I hope to inspire listeners to embrace their leadership journeys with courage and resilience.

Born and raised on the Las Vegas Strip, PJ's journey began as a GameStop employee with a set of keys and a knack for going viral by leaking Call of Duty titles before their official release. This early "Wild West" era of YouTube saw him rise through the ranks to earn up to $150,000 in a single month while building lifelong connections with creators like Mr Beast and the FaZe Clan.PJ has since parlayed his digital influence into a diversified empire, most notably as a co-owner of Nutcase, a premium cashew milk brand launched alongside superstars Steve Aoki and Ninja. Beyond the beverage world, he is a first-degree Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt with over 20 years of training experience. He shares exclusive stories about training with UFC champions and his role in the meteoric rise of Happy Punch, a combat sports media powerhouse that now generates over a billion views monthly.In this deep dive, PJ breaks down the reality of influencer boxing, explaining why athletes like Jake Paul and Logan Paul are legitimate specimens while detailing his own ambitions to claim the Misfits MMA Championship from Dylan Danis.

ABOUT BLACK BELT STATUS I spent this past weekend digging into claims made by Victor Marx. One of the ones I found the most curious is his claim that he is a "7th degree black belt in Cajun Karate Keichu-do a mixture of Karate / Jui-jitsu/ boxing" and it is a martial arts style created by Victor's late father Karl Marx. I tried to find out how one moves from belt to belt and couldn't find anything, and since that is a mystery, I thought we'd do some digging into more traditional forms of martial arts to see how it compares to jiu jitsu in terms of becoming a black belt. Today I've got an actual black belt in jiu jitsu Seth Rodenbaugh on at 2:30 to talk martial arts for a minute. He also happens to be half of the broadcast team with Of the Day Rob for From the Ashes podcast, which is a veteran focused show, and you can find their Facebook page here and their podcast here. Seth is also the owner of Obsidian Martial Arts in Parker, which you can find here, and a longtime blackbelt under Robert Drysdale.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lets deep dive into one of the most misunderstood milestones in martial arts: the Blackbelt. Most people think earning it is the finish line. It's not. It's the starting line. This episode breaks down what the Blackbelt actually represents, why rank without character is worthless, and the habits that separate martial artists who keep growing from the ones who peak the day they get promoted. Whether you train Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, or anything else, this conversation applies. And if you've never stepped on a mat in your life, it still applies. Because this isn't really about belts. It's about what happens when you reach a milestone and have to decide what kind of person you're going to be on the other side of it.Send us Fan Mail

CHRIS HAUETER 6th Degree Black Belt 6th degree Black Belt and member of the dirty dozen (the first 12 non-Brazilian black belts). Chris was the first American to submit a Brazilian in competition, the first American to compete as a black belt at the Mundials in Brazil and he continues to travel the world spreading his Jiu Jitsu philosophy of think street, train sport and practice art. He is also known for his golden rules of grappling, coining the term combat base as the base with one knee up and one knee down, and saying, "It is not about who is good, but who is left.

The Peter Boyles Show - MARCH 21, 2026 HOUR 4: Hour 4 leans fully into a relaxed, roundtable vibe, with Conor Huen, Briscoe, and Jonathan Flora trading stories and experiences rather than heavy politics. The conversation centers on martial arts, personal discipline, and upbringing—touching on bullying, how fighting builds confidence, and why jiu-jitsu emphasizes control over aggression. As the hour unfolds, it shifts into philosophy and history, with discussions about motivation, resilience, and the mindset behind training and competition. The group mixes in storytelling—from early UFC days to old-school boxing—keeping it informal and engaging, more like “guys talking at a bar” than a traditional radio segment. *The opinions expressed by the hosts and guests on this program are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Salem Media Group, its management, employees, affiliates, or advertisers.

Tait Fletcher on Jiu-Jitsu, Truth, Persistence, and Healing Pete Deeley interviews Professor Tait Fletcher about how combat sports shaped his life and character. Fletcher traces his path from Dog Brothers stick fighting to early Jiu Jitsu training in the 1990s, learning from figures including Arlan Sanford, Amal Easton, later also receiving a black belt from Eddie Bravo. He describes competing widely, fighting in MMA, training with notable fighters, and appearing on The Ultimate Fighter Season 3, emphasizing Eddie Bravo's systematic coaching.
