Bitcoin is hovering at a critical level as global tensions escalate, oil prices spike, and gold surges on renewed safe-haven demand. With geopolitical uncertainty driving volatility across equities, commodities, and currencies, risk assets are feeling the pressure and Bitcoin is no exception. As liquidity tightens and macro stress builds, traders are questioning whether this is just short-term turbulence or the early stages of a deeper breakdown.
Years ago, while living in England, I saw some graffiti on an overpass that declared “War is Obsolete”. This was in the glory days of the “Ban the Bomb” movement. There were well-intentioned people who favored unilateral nuclear disarmament. The British could afford to think that way, because the American bombs could be counted on to keep the Russians in check.At the time, I wrote a magazine article that opined that war was far from obsolete—that history told us Man had never developed a weapon he did not eventually use. Time passed, and so did my opinion. In fact, it has been 60 years since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and no one has been killed by a nuclear weapon in all that time. No one could hope to win a nuclear war, and so there was no reason why any sane person or nation would start one. In all those intervening years, the only nations that had any nuclear weapons were allegedly sane.Well, more time has passed, and now we have to deal with powers that show very clear signs of not being very sane. And the insanity has allowed nuclear materials and technology to leak out of their tightly sealed boxes and into the hands of people who are certifiably insane. Mutually Assured Destruction was a reasonable doctrine in a world where we were dealing with reasonable people who loved life. Now we are dealing with unreasonable people who care nothing for life, not even their own. You could even say that they love death.I don't think we yet understand the religion or the psychology of the 9/11 hijackers who brought down the World Trade Center. But with the advent and spread of the suicide bomber, everyone is now thinking that we will ultimately have to deal with nuclear suicide bombers, and that is truly unimaginable.

President Trump said he was unhappy with the progress of diplomacy with Iran, and indicated he might "have to" use the military. That came in contrast to a statement from the mediator of the talks, who said they are making progress and asked Trump to give it more time. But the U.S. has deployed the largest military presence in the Middle East in more than two decades. Nick Schifrin reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders.

A resounding win for the Green Party in the Gorton and Denton by-election looks set to cause seismic consequences, with Labour MPs once again questioning Keir Starmer's leadership.Camilla and Tim ask whether the PM should have allowed Andy Burnham to stand and if Labour's disastrous third-place result will speed up an Angela Rayner coronation.They also assess allegations of electoral fraud in the constituency, with reports of “family voting”, and assess Reform's performance. With Matt Goodwin finishing second with a near 30 per cent vote share, there are reasons to be very optimistic for Nigel Farage.We want to hear from you!

David M. Lampton and Wang Jisi co-authored an article published in the March/April 2026 issue of Foreign Affairs in which they argue that the character of the U.S.-China bilateral relationship has changed profoundly. In the early 2010s the two countries moved from cautious engagement with each other to tense rivalry. Each sees the other as the primary threat to its core values, political legitimacy, and vital national interests. It is possible, however, to stabilize and normalize the bilateral relationship by making room for each other in the international system and regional security architectures. In an interview conducted on February 23, 2026, article co-author David M. Lampton joins Steve Orlins to discuss steps that the United States and China could take to pull back from the current dangerously negative trajectory About the speaker
Summary: What if work didn't have to feel exhausting, overwhelming, or misaligned with who you are? In this powerful episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sit down with executive coach and HR consultant Lindsey Barnett, author of Working Hell to Working Well, to explore how individuals and organizations can transform the workplace experience. In a world where burnout feels commonplace and "busy" has become a badge of honor, what if we paused long enough to ask: Does work have to feel this hard? Designing the Workplace of Tomorrow, Today In a recent episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lindsey Barnett—executive coach, HR consultant, and author of Working Hell to Working Well. Lindsey's journey from anthropology student to organizational change leader offers a fresh and deeply human lens on how we can transform our workplaces—and ourselves. As someone who often describes myself as a corporate anthropologist, I was delighted to discover Lindsey once used that same phrase. Her academic roots in anthropology and organizational behavior shaped her understanding that companies are, in many ways, small-scale societies. They have rituals, hierarchies, insiders and outsiders, power dynamics, and shared myths. When conflict arises at work, it is rarely just about tasks—it's about people navigating culture. Lindsey Barnett was Finding Her Through Line Lindsey's path was anything but linear. She began studying archaeology, fascinated by the lives of people long gone. But as research leaders increasingly asked her to help with team dynamics, she realized her gifts were better used with the living. She moved into advertising, then human resources, always following a deeper curiosity about human behavior. Later, when her family relocated to Australia, she experienced a powerful shift. As a working mother who suddenly was not working, she confronted a loss of identity. That moment became pivotal. Through reflection, Lindsey identified what she calls her "Three I's"—the core needs she must meet to feel fulfilled in her work: Intellectual challenge Impact Interaction Once she named them, she saw that these needs could be met in multiple ways. Writing children's books, forming a writers' group, and returning to organizational development were not disconnected moves. They were creative responses to those core needs. There is a powerful lesson here: when you understand what truly energizes you, your options expand dramatically. The Workplace Stalemate In Working Hell to Working Well, Lindsey addresses a tension many of us recognize. Leaders often say, "You are responsible for your own wellbeing." Employees respond, "How can I manage my wellbeing when expectations and workloads are out of control?" The result? A stalemate. Lindsey's approach is pragmatic. Don't wait for the other side to change. Start with what you can control. Model healthier behaviors. Create safety through example. When leaders visibly leave work to attend a child's event—or even "leave loudly," as one leader she interviewed described—something shifts. Turning off the lights, closing the laptop, and saying goodbye intentionally signals permission. Culture changes through what is normalized. The Three P's: A Practical Framework for Working Well For those who want tools, Lindsey offers a memorable framework: Planning, Pacing, and Playing. Planning doesn't require a 30-page strategy document. It can be as simple as choosing one intentional action—like buying a larger water bottle to improve hydration. Small commitments, consistently executed, compound into meaningful change. Pacing involves awareness. Are you rushing blindly toward tasks? Are you collaborating across silos or duplicating effort? Slowing down just enough to ask better questions can unlock faster progress. Playing introduces experimentation and curiosity. Whether you call it "play" or a "pilot project," approaching change with a spirit of experimentation reduces fear of failure. Play fuels innovation. These aren't abstract concepts. They are immediately actionable. Charging Your Energy Battery Beyond productivity, Lindsey speaks about energy. Traditional advice focuses on sleep, diet, and exercise. While important, she expands the conversation into three types of energy that recharge us: Creative Energy: Designing, building, imagining. Creativity restores vitality. Connection Energy: Relationships, purpose, time in nature, or alignment with mission. Completion Energy: Finishing something—even something small. Making the bed or folding laundry can provide a tangible sense of accomplishment that renews motivation. During the pandemic, some executives criticized employees for doing laundry at home. Lindsey reframes this. Completion energy matters. Small wins sustain momentum. As anthropologists of work, we must ask: what assumptions are we carrying about productivity that no longer serve us? The Power of the Pause When asked to share her top advice, Lindsey emphasized one simple but profound practice: pause. In a culture obsessed with output, pausing can feel counterintuitive. Yet it is in the pause that we ask: Do I need to be doing this? Is there a better way? What does my body need right now? Who else should be involved? The pause creates space for intention. And intention drives sustainable change. Role Modeling Change Culture does not shift because of policies alone. It shifts because people see others behaving differently and feel safe to do the same. Whether it's taking a midday walk, setting boundaries around meetings, or openly prioritizing family, visible modeling invites replication. As Lindsey shared, we don't have to wait for permission to begin. From Observation to Innovation What I appreciate most about Lindsey's work is its grounded optimism. She does not deny that workplaces can feel like "working hell." But she believes transformation is possible—through small actions, mindful energy management, and courageous modeling. As you reflect on your own work life, consider: What are your core needs? Where could you plan one small shift? What might you pace differently? How could you introduce more play? And perhaps most importantly: when will you pause? If we are willing to observe our own habits with anthropological curiosity, we can turn those observations into innovations. That is how we move—from working hell to working well. To learn more about Lindsey Barnett and her book, visit your favorite bookseller or connect with her on LinkedIn.

PROF. Mohammad Marandi joins Kyle live from Moscow. His Internet connection is a little sketchy but the audio is fine. Be sure to comment to help us with the YT algorithm. What if the real battlefield isn't a border but a bottleneck? We sit down with Professor Mohammad Marandi to examine how Iran calculates risk, leverage, and legitimacy across a map defined as much by energy corridors as by military bases. From the broken promises of the JCPOA to the aftershocks of a 12-day war, we trace why Tehran insists on a narrow negotiating lane—nuclear assurances only—while locking every other door. Marandi argues that missiles, drones, and regional alliances won't be traded for sanctions relief, pointing to lessons from Syria and recent clashes that, in Iran's view, validated conventional deterrence. He walks through why trust collapsed: inconsistent U.S. compliance, shifting goalposts, and the absence of automatic penalties when commitments are breached. The proposed fix is mechanical rather than symbolic—snap, balanced consequences for violations that make cheating too costly. Alongside this, we explore Iran's stated religious and strategic opposition to nuclear weapons, paired with an explicit caveat about existential threats that functions as deterrence without overt weaponization. The most provocative claim centers on geography and economics. Iran's core deterrent, he says, is aimed at the Persian Gulf, not Israel: dense, vulnerable infrastructure, U.S. bases within range, and shipping lanes that tie oil and gas to global stability. A major war would rupture supply chains, spike markets, and outpace neat military outcomes. That logic, combined with a domestic pivot toward BRICS and the SCO, sets the political price for any new deal. Expect discussions to focus on recognition of enrichment rights, rigorous but bounded inspections, and automatic reciprocity for noncompliance—nothing more on missiles or allies. We close by testing media narratives of Iranian fragility against mass mobilizations at home and a wider global mood swing on Israel-Palestine. Agree or challenge these assessments, the takeaway is the same: any agreement that lasts must align with how power, risk, and credibility are actually distributed on the ground and at sea. If this conversation sharpened your view, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with the one clause you believe any durable deal must include.

An update drops in the Nick Reiner case, and President DT makes a bold prediction about how SCOTUS could rule on birthright citizenship. If that decision goes the way he thinks, it could reshape the immigration debate overnight. Then it's time for DOPE OF THE DAY—and the lefty contenders are strong—but today's crown may belong to Gavin Newsom. Why? You have to hear the clip. Breaking developments in the Nancy Guthrie case add another chilling layer—reports now suggest her home may have been scoped out by the same suspect days before. What does that mean for investigators? And then Barry Rosen joins Joe Pags. Held hostage in Iran for 440 days, Rosen brings unmatched perspective on U.S.–Iran relations. Are we heading toward a real deal—or a real war? Can the Iranian people finally shake the theocracy after 47 years? And will Iran ever tell the truth about its nuclear ambitions? This hour is intense, timely, and packed with insight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

North London is red. Arsenal F.C. stormed the derby, overwhelming Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in a statement performance that reignites the title charge. The gap stretches back to five points, but with Manchester City F.C. still holding a game in hand, the pressure is far from over. City responded in kind, dispatching Newcastle at the Etihad. If Pep's side keep stacking wins, will the weight of expectation prove too much for the Gunners? And could it all come down to that blockbuster showdown at the Etihad in April? At the other end of the table, Spurs are dangerously close to the relegation zone after a limp derby display, with a new manager still searching for answers. Could Tottenham genuinely be dragged into a survival battle? And if the unthinkable happened, would it go down as the most shocking relegation in Premier League history?

Prince Andrew is arrested—then released—and Joe Pags is asking the question many Americans are thinking: how does this guy get cuffed while bigger names uncovered in the U.S. never seem to face consequences? Is it hypocrisy, politics, the deep state… or something worse? He calls it out. Then more than 300 students are suspended after staging a walkout—and Pags says actions have consequences. Period. Plus, Alireza Jafarzadeh joins the program with a powerful perspective on Iran. Is today's unrest anything like the 1979 revolution? Are we on the brink of something historic in the Persian Gulf? Why are Western leaders negotiating with a regime that never honors deals? From potential regime change to what happens if the theocracy falls, this is a must-hear deep dive into what's really unfolding—and what it could mean for the world. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tonight, we're confronting a terrifying possibility. Are we on the brink of war with Iran? Escalating rhetoric and military posturing have raised real concerns that a broader conflict could be imminent. So much for talk of peace. What would war mean for the United States, for the region, and for everyday Americans already stretched thin? Is this brinkmanship, or are we watching the early stages of something far more dangerous? And is there still a path to de-escalation? We're joined by security expert Miles Taylor and writer for The Atlantic Tom Nichols to break down what we know, what we don't, and what's at stake.
In a public discussion on all things politics, opinion writer Jay Jochnowitz and and host Rosemary Armao talk about how seriously (very) we should be taking talk of changing how to vote and who can vote in America.

The video documents a live broadcast from downtown Conroe, where a group of concerned citizens and small business owners are gathered to protest what they perceive as unfair practices by local leaders. The main issues discussed revolve around increased property taxes, fraudulent debt, and significantly raised fees that are forcing small, "mom and pop" businesses out of the area. Speakers express that these decisions are negatively impacting the community and its residents. A key point of contention is the alleged misuse of taxpayer money, specifically in relation to the Crichton Theater. It's alleged that council members are on the board of the theater and are voting to allocate funds to it, while also potentially benefiting through a production company they own. This is seen as a conflict of interest and a misuse of public funds, especially when compared to the struggles of small businesses. The speakers highlight their efforts to address these grievances, including petitions, emails, and rallies, but feel their concerns are being ignored. They emphasize the importance of citizen journalism and unity in bringing about change. The video also features interviews with business owners who are directly affected by these policies, explaining how the rising costs and perceived unfairness are hindering their ability to operate and thrive in downtown Conroe. They express a desire for local government to support, rather than burden, small businesses. Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough makes an appearance, expressing his support for the small business owners and stating his belief that a healthy community requires a healthy economy and business environment. He criticizes the current fee structure as "unconscionable" and pledges his support. The overall sentiment is one of frustration and a call for accountability from local leaders, with a strong emphasis on preserving the vitality of downtown Conroe and supporting its small businesses.

On Wednesday Mark Levin Show, this debt crisis in America predates President Trump – it stems from a massive welfare state which expanded to include illegal aliens, unchecked waste, fraud, and abuse costing hundreds of billions annually, and out-of-control Marxist-socialist policies. Congress is unable to fix this problem because Democrats want to spend even more. Unchecked fiscal irresponsibility risks economic collapse, worthless currency, stagflation, societal dislocation, and violent riots if the system fails. We need to ensure that our republic survives! Also, why are we negotiating with Iran? If Iran unexpectedly accepts all U.S. demands, an agreement might be signed, allowing the regime to survive. Failing to eliminate the Iranian regime now is unconscionable and immoral, as it will leave future generations to confront a far more dangerous Iran armed with 50,000 ballistic missiles capable of striking the entire U.S. mainland, Hawaii, and Alaska, plus nuclear warheads. Later, the House of Representatives narrowly passed the SAVE America Act requiring voter ID by a vote of 215 to 214, with Rep Thomas Massie joining with the Democrats. ID is routinely required for everyday activities like entering government buildings, courts, buying alcohol or cigarettes, renting a car, signing a lease, getting a mortgage, and more—yet Democrats oppose it for voting. Voter ID protects against fraud like illegal voting, double voting, or votes by the deceased, making it a civil rights issue where fraudulent votes dilute legitimate ones. The only reason to oppose it is to enable fraud. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
