We returned from CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas with something special: our live show from Caesars Palace! Join Trevin and Amanda as they welcome McKenzie Fultz (@Freedombarbie) of Dating Detectives and Aaron Habel of Generation WHY for a true crime game show featuring some of the dumbest criminals ever to grace Sin City. Together, they explore outrageous Las Vegas crimes involving gambling nuns, Red Bull-fueled burglars, viral taco thieves, a warehouse heist involving 30,000 condoms and stolen sex toys, a TikTok creator whose talent for playing dead landed him on CSI: Vegas, a man who climbed the Las Vegas Sphere, and the infamous Bellagio Bandit who somehow turned a million-dollar casino robbery into a masterclass in getting caught. Along the way, the audience gets involved, contestants battle for bragging rights, and everyone learns an important lesson: fascinating criminals aren't always masterminds. After the game, stick around for personal petty crime confessions, stories from CrimeCon attendees, and more time with our amazing guests. From casino capers and viral crimes to failed heists and unbelievably bad decisions, this is the lighter side of true crime, recorded live from CrimeCon 2026.

In this episode of the Independent Dealer Podcast, Jeff Watson and Luke Godwin sit down with Robyn and the team from Blytz — live from Caesars Palace at BHPH United 2026 in Las Vegas — for a candid conversation about what Blytz is building, why they dropped "Pay" from the name, and what the future of AI-powered collections actually looks like on the ground at a real dealership. Joined by Jenissa from Auto Liquidators, who's already running it in her operation, this one goes beyond the pitch and into the practical. What You'll Learn:Why Blytz dropped "Pay" from their name — and what Blytz Collect and Blytz Insights mean for how dealers manage collections from end to endHow one dealership is running an AI collections agent across 300 accounts and what they've learned about the exact times of day customers actually payWhy 85% of customers won't answer the phone — and how the call-plus-immediate-payment-link combo is outperforming everything else in the collections motionHow AI replaced a $55,000 salary not by firing anyone, but simply by not rehiring when a collector leftThe Blytz and Ituran GPS integration that automatically restores a customer's starter interrupt the moment a payment clears — even at midnightWhat Blytz Insights is building toward — queryable, dealer-specific data that answers your questions without forcing your business into a one-size-fits-all reportIf you're a buy here pay here or independent dealer trying to figure out how to collect smarter, staff leaner, and stop paying people to dial numbers nobody is going to answer, this conversation is required listening.

Dolly Parton Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Dolly Parton remains as busy and influential as ever, with the last few days offering a snapshot of how her brand, legacy, and philanthropy keep expanding even as she steps back from constant touring. The most visible development fans can touch right now is the new Kendra Scott x Dolly Parton pop up at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Store in Nashville, running June 5 and 6, where visitors can shop the latest Dolly inspired jewelry and merch. According to the Country Music Hall of Fame event listing, this collaboration is another brick in the growing empire of Dolly themed lifestyle products, underscoring how her image now anchors a premium, cross generational fashion brand as much as a music catalog. Looking slightly further ahead but making news in recent days, Ticketmaster is spotlighting Dolly Live in Las Vegas, a major one night only event scheduled for late September 2026 at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. While details of the production are still emerging, the official listing positions it as a tentpole live appearance, significant from a biographical standpoint because Dolly has largely moved away from regular touring. A high profile Las Vegas show signals a pivot toward curated, legacy affirming live experiences rather than the grind of the road, reinforcing her status as an icon who can command destination events on her own terms. On the philanthropic front, Dolly Partons Imagination Library continues to generate fresh coverage, particularly in the United Kingdom. The official Imagination Library site is currently highlighting how the program is helping UK public libraries thrive, emphasizing that regular free books for children are pulling families into local libraries and strengthening community literacy efforts. That sort of sustained, global reach suggests the Imagination Library may ultimately become as central to her life story as her music, framing Dolly not only as a country legend but as one of the most consequential literacy advocates of her era. In the personal realm, American Songwriter recently revisited her 60 year love story with her late husband Carl Dean, noting that he died in March 2025 at age 82 and that Dolly has said she believes he is waiting for her and has no plans to remarry. That reflection, amplified again in the last few days by anniversary coverage, adds emotional context to this phase of her biography: Dolly is a widow honoring a private, six decade marriage while very publicly broadening her cultural and business footprint. No major scandals, health crises, or verified social media controversies involving Dolly Parton have surfaced in reputable outlets in the past 24 hours. Any online chatter about surprise tours, new full length studio albums, or drastic career shifts remains speculative and unconfirmed; until Dolly or her official channels announce otherwise, those rumors should be treated as fan wish lists, not facts. Thank you for listening, and be sure to subscribe so you never miss an update on Dolly Parton, and search the term Biography Flash for more great biographies. Thanks for listening.

Au début des années 2000, Las Vegas est cette ville où l'on vient jouer, évidemment, et applaudir des légendes un peu has been. Dans les casinos planent l'ombre de Sinatra, Liberace, et plus récemment de Tom Jones. Le Vegas de Tom Jones, c'est des smokings ouverts jusqu'au torse, des femmes qui lancent leur lingerie sur la scène et des serveuses qui traversent la salle avec des plateaux de cocktails aussi grands qu'elles. À Vegas, les stars sont des mecs du genre alpha John Wayne. Des types qui boivent, séduisent et chantent jusqu'au milieu de la nuit sous les néons et dans le chahut des machines à sous.Alors, lorsque le Caesars Palace annonce qu'il va construire une salle gigantesque spécialement pour Céline Dion, aussi célèbre soit-elle devenue, nombreux sont ceux qui crient au casse-cou. Car à Vegas, les chanteurs viennent quelques semaines, des mois au mieux, comme cela a été le cas avec Elvis. Mais une résidence permanente pendant trois ans !Mais les travaux commencent au Caesars Palace, on détruit un ancien théâtre, et peu à peu apparaît ce Colosseum inspiré de la Rome antique, avec ses colonnes, ses dorures et sa salle pensée autour d'une seule voix. Les techniciens eux-mêmes n'en reviennent pas.Et la ville continue à Vegas. Des joueurs perdent leur retraite aux machines à sous, les mariages express se succèdent dans les petites chapelles climatisées avec des Elvis partout, tandis que des vieux habitués parlent encore des soirées folles du Rat Pack comme des anciens combattants.Quelques semaines après les débuts du spectacle de Céline Dion, les premiers à comprendre qu'il se passe quelque chose ne sont ni les journalistes, ni les producteurs. Ce sont les chauffeurs de taxi. Parce que, eux, ils voient arriver les gens avant tout le monde. À l'aéroport de Las Vegas débarquent en effet des couples du Midwest, des groupes de femmes quinquas, des familles entières, des Québécois surexcités, des Européens émerveillés du voyage, tous avec la même idée en tête : “Ils sont là pour Céline !”Puis ce sont les serveurs du Caesars, les restaurants qui se remplissent après le spectacle, ça fait quand même 4000 personnes dans les rues d'un coup, les boutiques ouvrent plus tard et les casinos découvrent qu'une chanteuse capable d'émouvoir une salle entière rapporte davantage qu'un championnat du monde de boxe. Car Céline Dion attire des gens qui jusque-là ne venaient pas à Vegas. Des couples ordinaires. Des touristes qui économisent pendant un an pour se payer le voyage. Des gens qui ne jouent même pas au casino mais qui veulent simplement vivre “leur soirée avec Céline”.Vrai, Céline Dion a transformé Vegas au point que tout le bizness veut y avoir sa résidence : Elton John, Cher, Britney Spears, Kiss, Adele et même U2 y poseront leurs valises.Oui, le véritable tournant de l'histoire de Las Vegas n'a pas été l'annonce de la résidence de Céline par les patrons des casinos. Il a commencé un soir où un chauffeur de taxi a vu monter dans sa voiture un couple venu uniquement pour écouter Céline Dion chanter en plein désert du Nevada.

Send us Fan MailNo one is talking about the insane thing that's happened to Big Law partner compensation over the past decade — and how it stacks up against Wall Street.In this deep dive we broke down EXACTLY what's going on. What started as an attempt to quantify how much Belle Burden's husband — from the cultural phenomenon Strangers — was actually earning during their marriage, after he left Davis Polk and landed at an equity long/short hedge fund, turned into a full-blown investigation: how Big Law and hedge funds really make money, what the compensation structures look like, and who actually comes out ahead.We were positive we knew the answer. We were wrong.Here's what we're not going to spoil — but here's what's on the table:One firm reportedly offered $80 million over three years to poach a single partner. That's not a typo. That's hedge fund money… for a lawyer.The top firms are clearing eight figures per partner — and we name them.The Financial Times has reported some hedge fund traders are being offered 9 figures comp packages but how does it vary roles by role, firm by firm and year by year,  We get into the lockstep model, the eat-what-you-kill brutality of the buy side, "two and twenty," and the math of who's really ahead at 25, at 35, at 45 — plus the quiet shift that flipped the entire game while almost nobody outside the industry was watching.

This week in Vegas history: June 4, 2020, Nevada casinos reopened after the COVID-19 shutdown.   After more than two months closed, casinos across Las Vegas began reopening, including properties on the Strip, downtown, and around the valley. The D and Golden Gate reopened at 12:01 a.m., while other properties followed later that day.  NEWS:   Fertitta Entertainment is buying Caesars Entertainment in a deal valued at $17.6 billion, including about $11.9 billion in assumed debt. The deal would take Caesars private. Shareholders would receive $31 per share, which Reuters describes as nearly a 50% premium to Caesars' stock price before the deal was first reported in February. Tilman Fertitta's company already owns Golden Nugget casinos, the Houston Rockets, and a large restaurant/hospitality portfolio, including brands like Rainforest Café and Bubba Gump Shrimp. Caesars has been under pressure from softer Las Vegas visitation and growing competition in online betting, where rivals like FanDuel and DraftKings are stronger. Caesars' current leadership is expected to stay, including CEO Tom Reeg and CFO Bret Yunker. The deal includes a “go-shop” period through July 11, meaning Caesars can still consider competing offers. If completed, the acquisition would give Fertitta a much larger casino footprint: Caesars controls more than 50 casinos across North America, including Caesars Palace, Harrah's, and Eldorado, plus retail and online sports betting. The article notes the deal could face regulatory scrutiny because of the size and scope of the combined gaming/hospitality business. Vital Vegas reports that a private grand opening party for the newly rebranded Vanderpump Hotel will be held on June 11.   The Heart Attack Grill closed abruptly on May 18. The property posted a passive aggressive rant on their door, stating that the closure was due to casinos pricing out average Americans.   EDC goes to two weekends next year The plan was billed as a way to reduce crowds by spreading them out over two weekends, lol The first of those weekends, “EDC Dusk,” will roll out from May 14-16. The second, “EDC Dawn,” is set for May 21-23, while the full “Dusk Till Dawn Experience” will party from May 13-24.    Johnny Kats is reporting that a new magic-based show “Now You See Me Live” will be moving into the David Copperfield theater at MGM Grand.   Soul Belly BBQ, has opened a new location in the Miracle Mile shops.   New Mirage bar at MGM Grand pool. A user on reddit posted photos of signs at the MGM Grand pool area, directing patrons to a new “Mirage Bar,” complete with the former strip property's iconic palm trees logo.  A look at the pool complex map on the MGM Grand website confirms the change. The site was formerly called the “Splash Bar” and is located between the “Splash Pool” and “Reserve Pool.” MGM Resorts has retained the rights to the Mirage name after selling the Mirage resort site to Hard Rock International.   Tailgate Social, Mandalay Bay's answer to Stadium Swim at Circa downtown, officially opened on May 16. Snoop Dogg performed at the opening The 50,000-square-foot venue features more than 125 feet of LED screens, three heated pools, 25 luxury cabanas, and two premium bungalows    The Clark County commission will be voting to extend the annual Las Vegas Grand Prix, potentially through 2037.   Nellie's Southern Kitchen Closing: The Jonas family restaurant near MGM Grand closed after May 25 service, reducing Southern comfort food options on the Strip.    Drink Las Vegas, a culinary and cocktail festival, will run from Sept. 24 through 27 at four MGM Resorts properties: Aria, Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan, Park MGM. “Drink Las Vegas” will incorporate an opening party, panels and seminars, food and cocktail tastings, lunches, dinners and other experiences at more than 30 venues inside the properties. The event recently announced the chefs, restaurateurs, mixologists, sommeliers and other hospitality professionals who are participating.    Virgin Hotels Las Vegas is reporting its strongest casino performance since reopening in 2021. The property has adjusted its focus to Las Vegas residents first-quarter 2026 data showed slot revenue up nearly 30 percent, coin-in up 10 percent, and table games revenue up 88 percent compared to the same period in 2025.    Tony: Vital Vegas reports the Luxor is getting a new atrium light show. No word on when the show will debut.   The Vegas Golden Knights swept the Colorado Avalanche in round 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs This is the third time the team has become the Western Conference champions in their 9-year history Though the Eastern Conference champions are still undecided at the time of recording, it's likely that the Golden Knights will face the Carolina Hurricanes in their bid for another Stanley Cup win.    Oceans 11 returning to theaters Ocean's Eleven is returning to theaters nationwide on June 21 and June 24, 2026, for a special 25th-anniversary re-release as part of Fathom Entertainment's Big Screen Classics series.

Chad's solo on the mic with a lot on his mind and a few things he wants you to know about. First up is Freedom Hunters. Founded by Anthony Pace, Freedom Hunters gets returning veterans, active duty, and special forces out into the field. Hunting trips, fishing excursions, time in God's country. Chad's been in the blind with these warriors, and he'll tell you straight about how much it matters. The Freedom Hunters Nashville Classic is Sunday, June 21st and Monday, June 22nd, at the Nashville Palace and Hermitage Golf Club. Tables are available. Come shake some hands. Then there's the Silent Valor Project. This is a newer organization that Chad's been asked to join the board of. The mission is getting special forces operators transitioned into the private sector when their service is done. Rangers, SEALs, the ones you can't even name. They fought for this country, and then the country makes it hard for them to find work. This project wants to change that. June 24th in Las Vegas, Seth Vandover and his band are throwing down at Caspians inside Caesars Palace. Kenny Chesney's at the Sphere that night. This is the after-party. Proceeds go to the Silent Valor Project. And if you're in Temecula, Gary LaVox, lead singer of Rascal Flatts, is doing an acoustic performance at Hendo's Barrel House on June 11th. It's almost sold out, so move fast. Chad loves this country. He loves the people who protect it. This episode is his way of saying so. This episode is brought to you by The Silent Valor Project, Freedom Hunters, Demerbox, Almost Heaven Saunas, and The Nashville Palace. Lets go!

Send us Fan MailThis is Part II of our Caesars Palace deep dive, and honestly, this is where things get truly unhinged. If Part I was the setup — the $30 billion LBO, the financial crisis, and the private equity firms scrambling to keep the lights on — this episode is the masterclass in what happens when the knives come out. We're breaking down the mechanics of distressed debt investing, restructuring, and bankruptcy. Above all, we'll explain how Apollo essentially invented a new playbook for stripping creditor rights that the entire industry now uses as standard operating procedure. How do you move billions in assets out of a dying company and into a clean entity without the creditors being able to stop you? Who determines the value of what's being transferred when nobody is representing the other side? And how does Britney Spears end up at the literal center of a multibillion-dollar restructuring that kept this whole thing alive way longer than it should have survived?And the biggest question of all (why we think this episode is mandatory listening right now): what happens when this playbook gets deployed AGAIN, today? We're already seeing the early signs: record levels of corporate debt coming due, earnings getting squeezed by higher rates, and redemption requests piling up. So what does creditor-on-creditor violence actually look like in practice? How do the alliances form and break? Why did the investors who got screwed the hardest in the Caesars saga end up being the biggest winners by the time the dust settled? And if you're sitting in any kind of debt instrument right now, how do you know whether you're the one holding the cards or the one about to get shut out in the cold?Stay tuned for Part III, the conclusion of this 3-part series, where we'll be interviewing author and Financial Times reporter Sujeet Indap!Shop our Self Paced Courses:Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERESubscribe to our Substack: https://substack.com/@thewallstreetskinny

Once upon a time in a distant place near the Sands and Stardust of our memories was a kingdom below the desert called Caesar's Magic Empire. Well known magicians performed there among many younger, magicians who became very well known after they honed their craft before thousands of diners and revelers.Yes, this was a real place (but not below ground) that was a premier, immersive dinner-show attraction at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, operating from 1997 to 2002. Many fledgling magicians got their start there, one of whom is our guest in this episode: Jason Bird.Today Jason is a successful magician who specializes in close-up strolling and has recently written the ultimate treatise on the craft called, “Strolling for Dollars.” View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize This week Jason tells us about how a young teenage boy left home in search of the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip and found himself as regular, strolling magician at the new Caesar's Magic Empire.

Gianni and Jeanie interview Tony Orlando, who recounts knowing Russo since around 1980 and praises Russo's legendary storytelling and Las Vegas speakeasy era. Russo shares stories from his youth, including selling ballpoint pens after polio and meeting Frank Costello, plus his real-estate connection to O.J. Simpson's Rockingham house. Orlando and Russo discuss shared connections to John Catsimatidis and the Copacabana, where Orlando says his uncle Carmine Fava was maitre d' and where Orlando witnessed performers while underage. Orlando tells personal stories involving Crazy Joe Gallo (including being invited to Gallo's home and seeing a pet lion), his early hit at 16 (“Halfway to Paradise” written by Carole King), and friendships with major entertainers. Orlando describes working at CBS with Clive Davis as a vice president, signing artists like Barry Manilow, and later achieving major success with Tony Orlando and Dawn, including “Tie a Yellow Ribbon,” a TV show watched by 36 million weekly, and a Phyllis Diller on-air moment where her wig came off. He shares multiple Frank Sinatra anecdotes, including Sinatra correcting his diction, recording “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” for John Wayne, arranging a star-studded Friars Club event honoring Gene Kelly, and a Caesars Palace night when Sinatra learned his mother's plane had crashed. Orlando explains he retired from touring concerts due to travel and overhead but is launching a storytelling show and considering a book or audio format; he also notes work for eight presidents and other career highlights. The conversation ends with Russo promoting upcoming New Jersey appearances and book signings, and Orlando describing his WABC radio show and longtime veterans charity work through his Tribute to Valor Foundation, which brings Medal of Honor recipients to schools and has reached about 100,000 students.

Shot of Nostalgia: Shuffle continues with your host Acefield Retro, and this week we revisit April 4, 1993, WrestleMania IX from Caesars Palace in Paradise, Nevada. The first fully outdoor WrestleMania. The World's Largest Toga Party. A Roman coliseum theme complete with live animals, trumpeters, and commentators fully committed to the presentation. But beyond the spectacle, this event represents a pivot. This episode traces the road into WrestleMania IX through the March and April 1993 Wrestling Observer Newsletter coverage, capturing a company navigating lawsuits, scrutiny, roster instability, and mounting pressure. Bret Hart entered as WWF Champion. Yokozuna had been elevated as the dominant Royal Rumble winner. Hulk Hogan had returned, but his long term direction was fluid rather than locked in. The structure of the card reflects that instability. Shawn Michaels versus Tatanka opens with an Intercontinental Championship match that creates movement without definitive closure, immediately signaling protection over payoff. The Steiner Brothers versus the Headshrinkers provide one of the night's most cohesive in ring performances, reinforcing how effective the tag division could be when execution was clean. Doink versus Crush leans heavily into character psychology and spectacle, highlighted by the double Doink finish. We examine the originally planned mechanical stunt that was scrapped and what that decision says about the era's emphasis on visual moments. Razor Ramon secures a direct win over Bob Backlund, continuing his steady rise. The Tag Team Championship match between Money Inc. and the Mega Maniacs unfolds through referee bumps, disqualification tension, and spectacle driven pacing. We revisit the reported late reshuffling that removed the originally planned tag title blow off and centered Hogan more prominently on the card. Lex Luger's WrestleMania debut against Mr. Perfect introduces rope leverage controversy and is layered with behind the scenes anecdotes that contribute to the uneven rhythm of the night. The Undertaker versus Giant Gonzalez becomes one of the most criticized finishes in WrestleMania history, prioritizing theatricality over decisive resolution. The championship picture ultimately defines the event. Bret Hart versus Yokozuna is framed as a generational collision until Mr. Fuji's salt interference shifts the WWF Championship. Moments later, Hulk Hogan enters, accepts an impromptu challenge, and captures the title in approximately twenty seconds. With three decades of hindsight, this episode examines whether that closing decision reflects creative confusion or calculated business pragmatism. The Observer context suggests urgency. The optics suggest an audible. The result reshaped Bret Hart's reign, altered Yokozuna's trajectory, and placed Hogan back on top during a volatile moment for the company. WrestleMania IX is remembered for its ending. It deserves to be studied for what it reveals about transition, pressure, and how quickly direction can change when stability becomes the priority.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been remarkably active these past few days despite her recent health challenges that kept her away from public appearances since September 2025. The 80-year-old country music legend made headlines on Thursday, February 26th when she announced that East Tennessee Children's Hospital will now bear her name. According to multiple sources including People magazine and the hospital's official statement, Parton shared the news via video message wearing a stunning white jumpsuit with gold and butterfly accents. She emphasized her lifelong belief that every child deserves to grow up healthy, hopeful, and surrounded by love, calling the nearly 90-year-old institution's staff compassionate and skilled caregivers. The hospital's president and CEO, Matt Schaefer, stressed this represents far more than a simple name change, with Dolly's backing reinforcing their mission to provide world-class pediatric care.This announcement comes as Parton continues her philanthropic legacy in her home state of Tennessee. Her charitable work already includes her Imagination Library, which according to Halifax CityNews sends three million free books monthly to children, plus a one-million-dollar donation to Vanderbilt University's Medical Center that contributed to COVID-19 vaccine research.Looking ahead, Parton is preparing for her highly anticipated comeback to public life. According to Parade, she will make her first in-person appearance since 2025 at Dollywood's opening on Friday, March 13th in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where she's expected to serve as Grand Marshal of the annual Dolly Homecoming Parade. This marks her return after months of health procedures and recovery, during which she reassured concerned fans in October 2025 by stating, "I'm not ready to die yet. I don't think God is through with me. And I ain't done working."Additionally, Dollywood is expanding its reach beyond the Smoky Mountains through a partnership with Allegiant Air, launching a themed flight experience from Orlando on November 6th, 2026, transporting guests to Knoxville, Tennessee. The flight is cleverly designated as Allegiant Flight 925, a reference to her iconic "9 to 5" song.Parton also has her Las Vegas residency at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace scheduled to begin in September 2026, signaling her gradual return to performing after her health challenges.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Steve Schwartz didn't start Art of Tea because tea was trendy. He started it after watching Western medicine fail his mother. That moment sent him down a path few founders take — studying Ayurveda, working in herbal pharmacies, traveling the world to source botanicals, and learning how plants affect the body at a deep, functional level. Art of Tea began in a living room, blending by hand, making just enough money to survive week to week. Today, it's an award-winning tea company trusted by the White House, Caesars Palace, Wolfgang Puck, Slack, and The Peninsula Hotel.  Make sure to check out Art of Tea at: https://bit.ly/442ubxt   Check out my new book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4kRKGTX Register for Starting Small Summit 2026: https://startingsmallmedia.org/startingsmallsummit Watch our mini-doc - Starting Small: The Raw Truth Behind Entrepreneurship and the American Dream: https://youtu.be/eHuq93wIxs0?si=eDB-ycngvWNapRLO Visit Starting Small Media: https://startingsmallmedia.org/ Subscribe to exclusive Starting Small emails: https://startingsmallmedia.org/newsletter-signup   Follow Starting Small: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/startingsmallpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Startingsmallpod/?modal=admin_todo_tour LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/cameronnagle

AGT, CNN, The ViewLots of Great Stuff Happening for Landau, International Travel, New Music, Family & Fatherhood! Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. first burst onto the national conscience as the Sinatra-and-Soul singing  on NBC TV's “America's Got Talent with his incredible voice, undeniable charisma and unparalleled showmanship.  And a decade later, he's still going strong.Seeing Landau in concert is a revelation; backed by the dynamic Landau Big Band, you'll always hear swinging arrangements of Great American Songbook classics from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat ‘King' Cole and many more, along with a dusting of that special Motown Magic that is sure to move your feet and make you sing along.And after the show, every show, you'll always have the opportunity to meet Landau one-on-one for photos and have the chance to talk with him about his incredible rags-to-riches story.  “It's my favorite part of the night; it's something we always do. Sometimes I'm the last one at the venue, talking to fans and friends. The janitor is waiting on me to lock up!”Landau was born into extreme poverty in the Appalachian coalfields of southern West Virginia. His parents split while he was in elementary school, and Landau was shipped off to Detroit in the middle of the night. He woke up in the Motor Cities notoriously gang and drug-riddled “7 Mile” neighborhood. Landau likes to say that he went from Almost Heaven to Little Baghdad overnight!“I loved to play basketball in Detroit, and these guys were good. Some of them went onto the NBA. But we were in the hood; it wasn't anything to see guns drawn on the court after the game, so to keep people cool and laughing, when I'd dunk on someone, I'd sing a Frank Sinatra song like “Fly Me To The Moon” and everyone would laugh and put their guns away.”At the end of his rope, Landau tied a knot and pulled himself back up by auditioning for NBC TV's “America's Got Talent” with thousands of others. After months of competition, Landau emerged the winner, scoring a million dollars, a recording contract, and America's hearts, and he's never looked back.Landau's Columbia Records debut album “That's Life” reached number one on the Billboard Jazz Charts and was followed by “Christmas Made For Two”, “Landau” and his latest “Landau Live In Las Vegas” recorded during a performance at the legendary Caesar's Palace.  Landau has made dozens of TV appearances including “The Today Show”, “The View”, CNN, “Fox and Friends”, “The Talk”, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Hollywood Christmas Parade.He's helped raise millions of dollars for charities, many in his home state of West Virginia where he serves on the Board of Directors for the Children's Home Society of West Virginia and was named “West Virginian of the Year” by the Governor's office and the state's largest newspaper.I Landau proudly released LANDAU LIVE IN LAS VEGAS a pre-pandemic recording at Caesars Palace that includes several never-before-released tracks. Enjoy Landau's unique take on the Great American Songbook as well as classic R&B, all backed by his long-time stellar musicians in LANDAU'S LITTLE BIG BAND, with guest background vocals by former Temptations and Four Tops lead singer Theo Peoples!© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23bAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Jeff Bliss reports that the Formula 1 race on the Las Vegas city circuit is attracting major spectacle and high-end tourism, though the city is also attempting recovery by catering to lower-income demographics, evidenced by positive activity at the Excalibur Casino, while facing major competition from a new Indian casino near Bakersfield, California, operated by the Tahone tribe and twice the size of Caesars Palace. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, and four others were indicted on 23 counts of fraud. Additionally, an investigation into the Palisades fire revealed that state workers ordered the LA Fire Department to back off a previously burned area that rekindled, allegedly to protect endangered plants.

SHOW 11-21-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT UKRAINE FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Las Vegas Shifts Focus with Formula 1 and Lower-End Tourism; California Politics Hit by Indictments GUEST: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss reports that the Formula 1 race on the Las Vegas city circuit is attracting major spectacle and high-end tourism, though the city is also attempting recovery by catering to lower-income demographics, evidenced by positive activity at the Excalibur Casino, while facing major competition from a new Indian casino near Bakersfield, California, operated by the Tahone tribe and twice the size of Caesars Palace. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, and four others were indicted on 23 counts of fraud. Additionally, an investigation into the Palisades fire revealed that state workers ordered the LA Fire Department to back off a previously burned area that rekindled, allegedly to protect endangered plants. 915-930 HEADLINE: Industrial Policy and Tariffs Lack Coherence; Removal of Food Tariffs Implies Inflationary EffectGUEST: Veronique De Rugy Veronique De Rugy discusses US industrial policy, noting the trade deficit has increased despite tariffs, and the administration's decision to remove tariffs on food items—goods not produced domestically—is seen as an implicit admission that tariffs contribute to the "affordability crisis" because tariffs are a tax primarily borne by American consumers. The goals behind tariffs have shifted from fighting China to raising revenue, and the largest tariff exemption is for computer parts, indicating an understanding that tariffs could contradict other goals like energy abundance. De Rugyargues that US economic power stems from innovation and a willingness to invest, making industrial policy involving tariffs and seeking foreign investment largely unnecessary and potentially harmful. 930-945 HEADLINE: Mixed US Economic Signals: Strong GDP Contrasts Low Consumer Sentiment; AI Adoption Increases GUEST: Gene Marks Gene Marks discusses the US economy, noting that third-quarter GDP growth is estimated near 4%, contrasting sharply with record-low consumer sentiment in a "tale of two economies" where salaried workers receiving pay raises of 5–7% are outpacing 3% inflation and continuing to spend, while hourly workers struggle. Despite job growth in construction, leading indicators like the architectural billings index show contraction for 11 months. In technology, 88% of major companies are adopting artificial intelligence, though scaling remains limited, with AI already replacing low-level programmers and enhancing customer service. Agentic AI, capable of performing complex tasks, is predicted to impact fields like accounting and marketing by 2027–2028. However, Marks argues that most current major corporate layoffs stem from typical corporate bloat and mismanagement rather than AI, at least not yet. 945-10 SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: Lancaster County Economy Booms Despite Low Consumer Confidence; Local Entrepreneurs ThriveGUEST: Jim McTague Jim McTague reports that the economy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is strong, suggesting it mirrors the greater US economy despite reports of low consumer confidence, observing robust traffic at tourist destinations like Kitchen Kettle Village, a shopping locale established in 1954, with spending largely supported by well-off boomers. Local entrepreneurs are experiencing great success—a dealer selling eclectic electric lamps in Park City Mall is already earning $4,500 per week at the start of the holiday season, and high volume at Costco, where the Amish are major buyers, further indicates available disposable income. McTague concludes that the real economy on Main Street is strong and likely headed for a blockbuster Christmas season. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: Climate Change Threatens Iconic Italian Cheeses; Southern Drought Reduces Milk Production Quality GUEST: Lorenzo Fiori Lorenzo Fiori reports that climate change is threatening Italian food production, particularly cheese, due to drought and heat waves in the south, especially the Puglia region, where stressed cows are reducing milk production and impacting specialty cheeses like mozzarella and burrata. Milk cannot be shipped from the north because local water and hay are essential to the unique flavor of southern cheese. Fiori emphasizes that Italian food is a famous brand precisely because it belongs to its territory, criticizing pre-prepared sauces found in Brussels as inauthentic carbonara, which must be made fresh. In Milan, Christmas preparations are underway, with shop windows decorated festively and street lights scheduled to be switched on December 7th. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: Private Space Advances (Blue Origin, Rocket Lab) Challenge NASA SLS, EU Space Law CriticizedGUEST: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's New Glenn orbital rocket successfully completed its second launch, including landing the first stage and demonstrating reuse capability comparable to Falcon 9. New Glenn, larger than Falcon 9, is scheduled for upgrades with more powerful BE4 and BE3U engines, making it nearly comparable to NASA's costly and expendable SLS rocket. Rocket Lab set a new annual launch record with 15 successful orbital launches, surpassing Russia's frequency, and has conducted suborbital HASTE launches for military testing. India is upgrading its largest LVM rocket's upper stage for multiple restarts, essential for its space station and crewed missions. The US State Department opposes a proposed European Union space law seeking to impose EU regulations on companies from other nations, potentially discrediting the EU if passed. Finally, NASA has hired startup Catalyst to attempt a daring robotic rescue of the decaying Swift telescope. 1045-1100 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: McFaul: Autocrats Are on the Rise; US Must Unite Allies and Attract Global Talent to CompeteGUEST: Michael McFaul Michael McFaul's book Autocrats Versus Democrats argues that Putinism is driven by anti-Western ideology, making Putin a risk-taker, and McFaul believes the US erred by lacking a robust response and failing to provide arms after the 2014 Crimea invasion, stressing that helping Ukraine win is essential to inspire Russian democrats. He asserts that the appeal of autocracy is growing globally and advises that the US must align democracies against autocrats while advocating for human rights, citing the need to support imprisoned publisher Jimmy Lai. Long-term strategy requires the US and its allies to unite, as they are collectively stronger economically and militarily than autocracies, and McFaulstrongly recommends attracting international talent by reversing restrictive immigration policies, calling it a great strength the US is currently losing. 1115-1130 1130-1145 1145-1200 FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: US-Saudi Nuclear Deal Raises Proliferation Concerns; Military Micro-Reactors Retreat from Front Lines GUEST: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski states that Saudi Crown Prince MBS's goal is to obtain a bomb option, and while the new US-Saudi agreement does not include assistance with nuclear fuel production, a reactor still provides the necessary "cover" used by countries like Iran. MBS has made clear he will acquire a bomb if Iran does, regardless of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Sokolski also discusses the US military's Janus program for small reactors, initially conceived for vulnerable front-line bases but pushed back to remote areas like Alaska and the lower 48 due to concerns about drones and vulnerability. Finally, the US may be moving toward nuclear socialism—government ownership of commercial reactors, potentially funded by Japan—to encourage commercialization even without secured market contracts. 1215-1230 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Scenario: Russia Attacks NATO Member Estonia; Europe's "Kantian Dreams" and Lack of Readiness Prevent Article 5 Response GUEST: Jakub Grygiel Jakub Grygiel analyzes the German book If Russia Wins, which outlines a scenario where Russia attacks NATO member Estonia around 2028 following a stalled conflict in Ukraine, capturing Narva and an island before halting its advance and creating confusion within NATO. Europeans, living in "Kantian dreams of eternal peace," prioritize a quick end to the conflict and fear escalation, and the scenario posits that the US President decides a World War III over a "tiny piece of land" is not worthwhile, leading Estonia to forego invoking NATO's Article 5 out of fear of alliance rejection. Grygielnotes that decades of demilitarization leave Europe unprepared for war, highlighting that US reinforcements could take 45 days to move and societies lack the political will to fund necessary rearmament.
