Maura Keller, a former Army lieutenant colonel with 26 years in service, is another Georgia Democrat (the third I've talked to on this show this month) who's taking another run at MAGA representation in Congress. Like Shawn Harris and Lexy Doherty, she, too, has a prodigious gap to close at the ballot box in her district (Georgia's 3rd). Wednesday, we discussed the ways to do that, the issues that matter most to her district's voters, her thoughts on sloppy military leadership at the Pentagon, the DOGE ruse (she also worked in government contracting, efficiency being a focus) and more. ------As of posting, the El Salvadoran journalist in the U.S. with legal protected status to do so - Mario Gueara - has been apprehended by ICE after being held in a Dekalb County jail. He was arrested while covering Saturday's 'No Kings Day' protests in that county with some (my opinion) some pretty flimsy charges. Listen to the exchange as you see how far from protestors and police he was prior to being confronted. His attorney, Giovanni Diaz, and daughter Katherine Guevara, addressed the media late Tuesday, as well. ------Lastly, what's gotten into Tucker Carlsoon? My hunch? Nothing new: he's a white nationalist but he's also exhibited antisemitic tendencies, too, so his needling of Ted Cruz in a one-on-one may not be so surprising. Still, it's enjoyable to watch a smug Cruz hem and haw, flailing and failing to give cogent responses to what had to feel like something of an ambush with an interviewer he expected soft glove treatment from.

In 2024, Lexy Doherty stepped up to walk into the MAGA buzzsaw and lost to Rep. Mike Collins by more than 26%. Undeterred, she's making another go of it in 2025, getting an early jump on fundraising and campaigning. Lexy joined me today to share her insights on how things can work in her favor in seventeen months. ------Lost in all the antics from Saturday was this: there's a trend, locally and nationally, to protests becoming chaotic. The introduction of short-tempered or overzealous police activity. Listen, no one can be more appreciative of the work officers do, day in, day out, and how working protest detail can really ramp up tensions. Anyhow, in all the uproar in Dekalb County was the arrest of the ICE-stalking journalist Mario Guivera, who could be deported by ICE now. ------Meanwhile, after the double murder (triple, if you count the family dog ... what scum Vance Boelter is) came the predictable debate as to his political leanings (made clear by his roommate). For Jon Stewart, however, the more pressing matter is that politicians who are usually quick to want to invade (checks notes) major cities run by Democrats, or draw a line when one American is felled by an immigrant. They're all-too eager to enactvlegislation and throwvhundreds of billions at anti-immigration measures, but have no response for gun-wielding assassins.Also fck Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah).------One of the funnier moments from Atlanta' 'No Kings Day' protest was the brass instrument-wielding heroes there to drown out the Proud Boys. Loved. It.

295. A Story of Letting Go In this episode of Creative Chats, Mike Brennan shares his journey of writing his new book 'Blue', a story about letting go and transformation. He discusses the emotional challenges he faced while writing, the importance of authenticity in creative work, and encourages listeners to create meaningful projects that resonate with their personal experiences. Top Three Key Takeaways Creativity as a Tool for Processing Pain and Growth Mike opens up about how his latest book was inspired by a difficult personal experience. He emphasizes that creativity can be a therapeutic outlet for processing pain, grief, and major life changes, sometimes, our most meaningful creations come from our most challenging seasons. The Importance of Authenticity in Creative Work While developing the visuals for his book, Mike struggled to find a style that felt true to himself. Through experimentation and self-reflection, he discovered that authentic self-expression resonates more deeply than following someone else's template, encouraging listeners to create with vulnerability and honesty. Releasing Your Work and Letting Go of Expectations Mike discusses the process of letting go, not just as a theme in his new book, but as a creative act itself. He describes the freedom in releasing a project to the world without being attached to outcomes, and how sharing our stories can become a source of hope and connection for others.

'Blue zones' are geographical areas where it's said that people are likely to live longer - hitting the centenary mark and beyond. But what if those blue zone claims are actually be a fraud? 

This is a story about power, corruption, and the abuse of trust within a small-town police department. It centers around the tragic case of Sandra Birchmore, a young woman who was found dead in 2021. Initially ruled a suicide, the investigation into Birchmore's death uncovered a web of disturbing secrets involving multiple officers from the Stoughton Police Department, particularly twin brothers Matthew and William Farwell. The story examines how these officers allegedly used their positions of authority to manipulate and exploit a vulnerable young woman they met through a police mentorship program. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that this goes beyond one tragic case, exposing a deeply troubling pattern of behavior within the department. We'll look at the alleged actions of the Farwell brothers, the accusations against another officer, Robert Devine, and the lawsuit filed by Birchmore's family seeking justice. We'll also examine the internal investigations, the decertification of involved officers, and the broader implications this case has on the Stoughton community and beyond.

The Qing, China's last imperial dynasty, ruled over one of the largest empires in Eurasia at the dawn of the 19th century. Throughout the preceding century, it expanded its reach into the northwest, southwest, Tibet, and gained hegemony over Mongolia. For a long time, traditional historiography has viewed the Qing as a land-based, agrarian power with minimal engagement with the seas. Even its successful conquest of Taiwan in 1683 was seen as a one-time affair. This, the traditional narrative goes, was the reason why the Qing lost to the British in the First Opium War. Scholars today have increasingly pushed back against this view, pointing out the Qing's liberalization of ocean-going trade and its development of a naval infrastructure. Joining me today is Ronald Po, author of Blue Frontier: Maritime Vision and Power in the Qing Empire, who will talk about Qing maritime history and policy in the 18th and 19th centuries. Contributors: Ronald Po Ronald Po is an Associate Professor in the Department of International History at LSE. He is a historian of late imperial China, with a focus on maritime history and global studies. His book, Blue Frontier: Maritime Vision and Power in the Qing Empire, seeks to revise the view of China in this period as an exclusively continental power with little interest in the sea. Instead, the book argues that the Qing deliberately engaged with the ocean politically, militarily, and conceptually, and responded flexibly to challenges and extensive interaction on all frontiers - both land and sea - in the eighteenth century. Professor Po joins us today to talk about his research on Qing maritime history. Yiming Ha The Chinese History Podcast is an educational show that aims to make academic content and newer research related to Chinese history more accessible to the general public without sacrificing the effort and quality that we as scholars put into and expect from our own research. It is designed for students, teachers, and anyone interested in Chinese history. We envision this podcast as collaborative space where scholars can share their research and stories through both interviews and lectures. Our aim is to provide content covering every aspect of Chinese history from ancient times to the modern period, including but not limited to political history, military history, economic history, social history, and cultural history. We especially strive to tie China into broader regional and international networks of exchange and interactions and to view China from a more Eurasian perspective. For the time being the majority of our content will focus primarily on premodern China, although it is our goal to expand into modern China in the near future.    Yiming Ha | Founder, Host, and Editor Yiming Ha is the Rand Postdoctoral Fellow in Asian Studies at Pomona College. His current research is on military mobilization and state-building in China between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries, focusing on how military institutions changed over time, how the state responded to these changes, the disconnect between the center and localities, and the broader implications that the military had on the state. His project highlights in particular the role of the Mongol Yuan in introducing an alternative form of military mobilization that radically transformed the Chinese state. He is also interested in military history, nomadic history, comparative Eurasian state-building, and the history of maritime interactions in early modern East Asia. He received his BA from UCLA, his MPhil from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and his PhD from UCLA. He is also the book review editor for Ming Studies.

Alex and Jordan don their finest sweaters and Buddy Holly glasses to explore one of the touchstones of '90s alternative rock. Together they discuss the enigma known as Rivers Cuomo, touching on how his tumultuous upbringing inspired tracks like "Say It Ain't So" and "My Name is Jonas," why he was disappointed that Weezer weren't heralded as the next Nirvana, and the time he replaced all of his newly-fired guitarist's parts in a single session. The TMI guys also share the (slightly corny) original lyrics to "Buddy Holly," explain how Henry Winkler saved Spike Jonze's famous 'Happy Days'-themed video, and the adorable bond between the band and their producer, Cars legend Ric Ocasek — plus the many reasons why Jordan's beloved Beach Boys are the secret MVPs of this record. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are five so-called 'Blue Zones' in the world where people live much longer than expected with somewhat of ease. The people living in these places are not obsessed with strict diets and exercise, it is more just their way of life. We speak to an expert on these 'blue zones' who says there is much we can learn from these cultures which we could apply to our own lives. FOX's Alex Hogan speaks with Dan Buettner, New York Times Best-selling author, National Geographic Fellow and founder of the 'Blue Zones', who has spent years studying the places and cultures where people live the longest and why.   Click Here To Follow 'The FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition' Learn more about your ad choices.
