Secretary of Defense Hegseth is making use of his sights.  He is focusing at times on Senator Mark Kelly, seeking to wreak havoc upon him for his utterances which have angered Hegseth's master.  Meanwhile, purported drug smugglers have found Davy Jones' locker at the order of Hegseth, it has been reported, including those left helpless after initial lethal strikes.  Yale Professor and Bancroft Prize winner John Fabian Witt joins us to help us make sense of the international law and laws of war issues here. Meanwhile, your poor co-host, Andy, is subjected to a Socratic barrage at the hands of a Kingsfield-like Professor Amar, as the relentless logic - or is it illogic - of Hegseth's actions run into a Constitutional wall.  This is an entirely new, and entirely irresistible analysis; it's Professor Amar at his best.

The Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg sits down with returning guest Annie Ives, CEO of CLAW/The MLS™, to discuss major industry changes following NAR policy shifts, the rise of MLS-only memberships, exclusive-listing strategies, and the rapid growth of CLAW's in-house technology products including Vesta Plus, Checkmate, Showing software, and MarketSnap. Annie also shares insights on managing a high-end market, delivering strong customer service, and the future role of MLSs in a shifting industry. Key Takeaways NAR's policy changes are already increasing MLS-only membership interest, especially in California's Thompson state environment. Annie expects MLS-only membership to rise from ~15% to potentially 25–30% as agents look to cut costs. Associations may face pressure to restate their value proposition as non-dues revenue becomes increasingly important. CLAW is launching a new listing status: MLS Exclusive — allowing listings to remain off-market-facing while still visible to MLS members. MLS Exclusive listings accrue no DOM and no public price-change history while in that status. CLAW continues to grow its in-house technology stack, including: Vesta Plus MLS platform Checkmate compliance software (now used by ~200k agents) Showing software MarketSnap analytics Annie credits their success to customization, rapid iteration, and client-driven feature development. She predicts MLSs will increasingly become technology companies, especially as revenue from dues becomes less stable. Future industry direction remains uncertain, but Annie emphasizes persistence, adaptability, and building strong teams as core to longevity.

The Huntress is kidnapped by Checkmate, who are trying to recruit her to join their organization/agency.  Forced under certain hallucinogens by the Mad Hatter and Scarecrow, the leader of Checkmate is trying to psychoanalyze Helena via her responses.  We know Helena is someone you can't make do anything.  Even placing her in a padded room with a one way window can't keep this woman in confinement.   Let us know what you thought about this issue and the Batman: Gotham Knights series as a whole at feathersandfoes@gmail.com https://wrightonnetwork.libsyn.com/website Bluesky: @huestone44 www.patreon.com/wrightonnetwork  

(Reprise Episode) This episode is the second in a series of excerpts from my upcoming book, "The Friend at the End," which tells the story of the major stroke that I suffered in 2011. As the first episode began, I was 62 years old, at a wonderful stage in my life, with everything safe and secure. It was the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and I was looking forward to the summer, which was just over the horizon.       But when I had gone down to the pool at our condo, after a short while, I started feeling a little nauseous. Soon after, an unusual and disturbing white light appeared in my upper left peripheral vision. At first, I thought the light was coming from somewhere on the outside, but I soon realized that it was coming from within me, which was extremely alarming.  So, that marked the end of the first episode, now the story continues…     In reality, vision impairment is a classic symptom of a stroke, but I just didn't know that at the time. If I had, I would have dropped everything and gone straight to the emergency room. But I didn't have that information.  That's the real   Catch-22 when it comes to knowledge. You never know what you don't know. You just can't. By definition, the unknown remains unknown until you finally find it out. And hopefully, by then, it's not too late.      Anyway, I felt a little tired and laid back down on my lounge chair and tried to relax. I'm not sure what happened next, but I must have drifted off to sleep. I don't know how long I was out, but when I woke up and opened my eyes, I was met with a complete shock.  My entire field of vision had radically changed.     I could still see, but it was like looking at the world through a splintered kaleidoscope, a bizarre Picasso painting of bright colors and random fractal patterns. I had never experienced anything like it before and obviously, things had taken a major turn for the worse. It was seriously disconcerting. Oddly though, the feeling of nausea was gone completely. Other than this bizarre vision issue, I felt fine.  I opened and closed my eyes a few times, but nothing changed. I still saw the world in the same splintered, fractal way. I closed my eyes for a moment to try to stabilize myself and the vision suddenly appeared within.    I opened my eyes again, and to my shock and dismay, I couldn't tell whether my eyes were opened or closed. It didn't matter. Opened or closed, my field of vision remained exactly the same. I still saw the same set of broken, fractal lights. What had been bad had suddenly gotten much worse. This was, by far, the most alarming thing that had ever happened to me physically in my life, and immediately, a chilling fear came over me. "Oh my God! I'm going blind!" I thought.  It was earth-shattering. I felt like a bug splattered on a speeding windshield, and my mind went wild with a flood of terrifying images of me, living my life as a blind man. The horrible scene went on for quite a while, before I could finally pull myself together.   "Whatever's going on, this is much worse than I thought," I said to myself, as I recognized how seriously things had deteriorated. "This is bad. This is really bad."  I was stunned and had no idea what to do.  "Yeah, this is definitely much worse than you thought," I thought. "And you know what, it might actually be much worse than you think it is now. Forget about going blind. You might actually be dying. This could be the beginning of the end."  The unwelcomed idea hadn't occurred to me before and it stopped me dead in my tracks. "Now wait a second," I responded, "Let's not go to extremes here."   I quickly tried to pull myself together. Even though I was definitely in bad shape, I certainly didn't want to entertain any thoughts of dying. Why let that in? It couldn't possibly help. So, I quickly decided to put it out of my mind. But a few moments later, it came back again.  "Look, of course, the idea is upsetting to you, to say the least. And obviously dying is the last thing in the world you want to think about. But still…" "But still, what?" I countered, sharply. "Still, you don't really have a choice. The way things are going, at this point you have to consider everything. You really do." Okay, so this was the rational, non-emotional side of my mind talking to me in its rational, non-emotional way. And it was probably right to consider the worst-case scenario. But I instantly dismissed the idea again. Sure, it was normal for me to have had a passing thought that I might be dying, but that's all I wanted it to be - just a passing thought.  As far as the actual reality of it was concerned, I would have none of it.  "No. It can't be. Not like this. Not now. No way." "Well, why not?" Mr. Rationality responded rationally. "You know it's going to happen someday; it has to. There's no way around it. It's written in stone. So why not now? And why not like this? Just because it's sudden and you weren't expecting it, that doesn't mean anything. Look what happened to Daddy."   There was no refuting the logic of it. And bringing up my father was a major factor for me. He had died instantaneously of a massive heart attack at the age of 52, and I'm sure he never knew what hit him. Here one minute, gone the next. I was sixteen years old and along with the terrible shock and grief, it really drove the point home that any one of us can go at any time. Nobody operates with any guarantees here. That's not the way it works.  "You have to understand something," this part of me went on. "There are no rules now and anything can happen." It paused for a moment. "Face it. This really could be the end of the line for you. You very well might be dying." The weight of the reality of death began to sink into me like a ton of wet concrete sliding out of a cement mixer, and it rattled me to the core. Just a few minutes ago, I was facing the fear that I was might be going blind, and that was absolutely devastating. Still, you can learn how to live with it. Millions of people have. But while you can learn how to live with being blind, you can't learn how to live with being dead. No. This wasn't about coming to a major crossroads in my life. This was about coming to the actual end of it, and it was staggering. I was in a whole new world and I knew it.  I started to feel disoriented. "Oh my God!" was the last thing that came into my mind before it went blank. I think I went thoughtless, and it might have been for fifteen seconds, fifteen minutes, or even more.  In that state, who knows? Anyway, at some point, I could think again.  "Could it really be true?" I asked myself, soberly "I mean, could this really be it?" "Well, you can't rule it out," I answered myself. "Look, you've never experienced anything like this before. Things are obviously getting worse, and there's no telling where this might lead. Anything can happen. You just have to face facts."  "Yeah. Okay," I thought, still stunned.  "Listen, Dying isn't a question of 'if,' it's only a matter of 'when.' And as far as what it's going to be like when it actually does happen, well, nobody really knows that until they get there," the rational side said.  "Then you find out for sure."  It was obviously true. We have no idea of what our actual death is going to be like. We have no frame of reference for it. It's not like you're going to a new beach where you've never been before. But you know what to expect from a day at the beach, so you throw a bathing suit and a towel into a bag, grab a beach chair, and you're good to go. No, it's nothing like that. This is 100% uncharted territory. And although we may all have our ideas about it, that's all they are – just ideas.  At that point, I realized that I had no idea what to do. So, I just sat there, with this bizarre field of colored. fractal vision filling my head, whether my eyes were opened or closed. I was stuck. Checkmate.  Then something hard to describe happened. Call it a stroke of insight or a flash of intuition, but suddenly two critical points became unmistakably clear to me. And they were both seriously disconcerting.   The first one was that I knew for sure that I was in serious trouble and that my life was on the line. I knew that I very well might be dying and it was beyond any doubt to me. I had no further questions about it at all.  The second one was more subtle and much harder to grasp. I knew intuitively that some of the thoughts I had been thinking weren't actually coming from me. This little conversation that had been going on inside my mind wasn't just between me, myself, and I. I felt like there was something or someone else, a presence of some kind, speaking to me through the instrument of my own mind.  Now, the very idea that I was receiving some form of mental telepathy was deeply unnerving, to say the least, and I hoped I wasn't just losing my mind. I mean, after all, dying is bad enough, but I didn't want to go nuts on top of it.   It was quite an intense moment and a strong wave of anxiety washed over me. But still, almost within that wave, there was another feeling that was equally as strong. I felt that this presence, or whatever it was that was talking to me, was somehow familiar. It was like an old friend that I had forgotten so long ago that I didn't even have a distant memory of it. Just a vague feeling that I had forgotten something, but I couldn't remember what it was. The only thing I could remember was that I had forgotten. But whatever this thing was, I knew that I knew it.  I just didn't know how. It was too out of reach.   As this wave of familiarity kept radiating to me from just beyond my awareness, somehow, I could sense a rightness to it and something within me seemed to surrender to the situation. Any remaining doubts I had got set aside and I felt myself go all in. It felt uncomfortably strange, yet strangely comfortable at the same time.  "Ok, good," it finally said, seeming to respond to my new state of mind. "You're getting clear now. Stay as clear as you can. There may be a lot different things coming up for you soon, and clarity will help you stay focused on what's important. Clarity will keep you strong." Another long pause seemed to happen, then it continued, "So, you have to understand where things are now. You are coming to a major turning point." Somehow the level of communication had crystalized considerably. Like a cell phone that suddenly becomes static-free, my reception was much more clear.   "This truly is the possible end of your life on earth," it continued.  "And it's time to start wrapping things up. And at this point, one question becomes critically important for you."  We sat in silence for an endless moment of eternity. Then a very firm, but very kind voice, it asked me, "Are you ready?"   So that's the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind and heart opened, and let's get together in the next one.

A woman marries seven brothers. They all die. The Sadducees think they've created the perfect trap: whose wife will she be in the resurrection? Checkmate, Jesus. Except Jesus isn't playing games. His answer flips everything and invites us to live as children of the resurrection, free from fear's grip. Wrong questions. Right answer. Readings: Job 19:23-27a | Luke 20:27-38

The Sadducees, who were convinced that they knew the Scriptures better than Jesus, came to Him with a trick question. Actually, it was more like inviting Him to a game of chess. They thought they could corner Jesus into an unwinnable position and, at the same time, prove their own beliefs. But they learned that day that you don't play chess with the King. Join Pastor Chris for a look at one of the most breathtaking examples of Jesus' teaching-- and yet another glimpse of His kingly authority.

What happens when your purpose gets weaponized, relationships are rewritten by group doctrine, and chess becomes both sanctuary and battleground? In this powerful second part of our convo with Danny Rensch, we return to unpack life after his “purpose ordainment,” and the heartbreak of being separated from his mother by cult coercion. With raw honesty, Danny shares how spiritual manipulation, covert contracts, and collective pressure led to the deepest trauma of his youth and how healing and reconnection became possible, despite loss and pain. We chat about his wild chess tournament sagas, the story of Igor (the inappropriate Russian master with a soft spot for broken kids), and the unraveling of the Church of Immortal Consciousness as generations, money, and ideals collided. Danny gets real about calling things what they are, facing the dark side of “doing good,” and why his redemption arc is proof that you are not what happens to you—you are what you choose to become. We also drop a secret character from his book who collided with NXIVM. File this one under: complex, courageous, and essential listening.Fill in the gaps in our convo and read Danny's gripping memoir, Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life.

"They're passing the torch. And the torch is being received by entities who care less about ideology and more about returns. BlackRock doesn't care about “being your own bank.” They care about portfolio diversification and risk-adjusted returns. Is that a loss? In some ways, yes. Bitcoin will probably never again have the radical energy it had in its early years. The days of 100x returns in a single year are likely over. The volatility that created life-changing wealth will moderate as ownership becomes more distributed. But it's also a victory. Because Bitcoin survived long enough to become boring. It succeeded so thoroughly that the original believers can actually cash out. It proved itself to the point where the most conservative financial institutions in the world are buying it."~ Jordi Visser Everyone's frustrated that Bitcoin's not pumping. But what if this stagnation isn't failure — it's distribution? I break down why the OG whales are finally taking profits, what that means for institutional adoption, and how Bitcoin's growing stability could mark the start of its next great era.

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.How do you go from barefoot kid to international chess master and co-founder of Chess.com? In this epic first installment, we sat with Danny Rensch to peel back the curtain on his wild journey growing up in the Church of Immortal Consciousness—a high-control Arizona collective commune led by a self-proclaimed trance medium guided by the spirit of "Dr. Duran." Danny shares what life was like growing up in a merged-finances, communal-living environment fueled by spiritual teachings, EST-style group processing, and just enough bathwater-sharing to make any outsider's eyebrows shoot up. From childhood freedom and chaos to early red flags, shifting loyalties, and the beginnings of his path out via chess, Danny's story is a rollercoaster of agency, paradox, and hope. Expect deep dives into cult philosophy, spiritual skepticism, the lure of community, and how genius can bloom in the strangest soil—all before we even get to the chess part. Come for the cult tale and stay for the cliffhanger: part two is a pawn move away.Whether or not you play chess you MUST check out Danny's memoir, Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life.

Our threat levels were critical, but they've been neutralized, because we're just that good and you know it. And we're never leaving Slough House. Hey, just like River!Chris is back this week with Bankole and Angel for the rollercoaster finale of 'Slow Horses' Season 5 on Apple TV, and together the squad tries to figure out what this new resolution might mean for the show going forward, while celebrating Diana's takeover finally landing.After Chris gives his debrief on the London Film Festival, they start by marveling at the truth behind Lamb's story from episode 3 (11:34), before quickly addressing both the competence and significance of the dissidents' plan for retribution (16:04). They also call River out for projecting and applaud for Claude for managing to somehow fail upwards into survival, which is as hilarious as it is surprising.Additionally, they dive into a discussion on whether the show wants us to believe River is competent (32:13) and why Claude never stood a chance against Lamb (37:12), as well as how the book handled the events of the episode — and season — a bit differently (47:18), after which they share some fun recommendations and their expectations for the already high-octane sixth season of the show (50:30).You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTube.Chris' London Film Festival Highlights!Chris' take on 'The Secret Agent'.Chris full 'Sentimental Value' review.Chris on the new 'Knives Out': 'Wake Up Dead Man'.Host: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Chris and AngelProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

What are the latest advances in lung cancer treatment? In April 2022, findings from the large scale CheckMate 816 clinical trial were presented to the American Association for Cancer Research.

The Devil's Checkmate On December 16, 2000, 31-year-old Mike Williams vanished while duck hunting on Florida's Lake Seminole. His truck was found. His boat was found. But Mike… was gone. For years, authorities believed he'd drowned—dragged beneath the surface by alligators. But there was no body. No blood. No real evidence of a struggle. What emerged instead was a story of greed, betrayal, and a staged disappearance that unraveled into one of Florida's strangest and most calculated murders. Criminal Mischief digs into how an insurance plot became a cold-blooded crime—and how, 17 years later, the truth finally surfaced from the swamp.

Frank and Squeaks break down the biggest New York Comic Con headlines, from Invincible season 4 and Batman Knightfall to X-Men '97 and Marvel's Wonder Man. They give honest, spoiler-light reactions to the Peacemaker season 2 finale, talk about what the show sets up for the DCU, and then welcome voice actor Jordan Reynolds for a deep dive on playing Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals. Jordan explains his audition process, how direction shapes in-game performance, and why Adam should feel like a calm anchor when the fight gets chaotic. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Cold open and Peacemaker gag, show rundown 01:25 What's on deck today – NYCC news, Peacemaker S2 review, interview with Jordan Reynolds 02:17 Invincible S4 dated for March 2026, where the story heads, cosmic scale, and why Thragg raises the stakes 08:33 Batman: Knightfall animated event – four films starting in 2026, hopes for DC's new animated era 12:25 X-Men '97 – season 2 in summer 2026 with Apocalypse focus, season 3 already planned, Four Horsemen and Onslaught talk 18:27 Wonder Man trailer – Hollywood satire vibes, how meta Marvel might go, January 27, 2026 launch window 24:17 VisionQuest – James Spader back as Ultron, Stark AIs in human form, Speed casting, the “WandaVision-Agatha-VisionQuest” trilogy idea 30:01 Mortal Kombat – MK III confirmed, MK II moves to May 2026, where the films could escalate next 33:09 Starfleet Academy trailer reactions – teen drama concerns vs Trek world-building 37:23 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – lighter tone, Ashford tourney focus, January 18, 2026 premiere 43:50 Peacemaker S2 review – why the season works, why the finale felt underwhelming, multiverse town twist, Keith thread 51:17 DCU setup – Checkmate hints, Salvation Run ideas, how this could feed into Superman and government vs metahumans 58:45 What's next – could Peacemaker shift into a Checkmate-style series, Lanterns connections 1:02:15 Interview: Jordan Reynolds (Adam Warlock) – audition approach, building a “stable, reliable” voice, methodical healer playstyle, directing alt callouts and action barks Key Takeaways Invincible's next chapter leans harder into the cosmic war and should bring Thragg front and center. DC's animated Knightfall could set the tone for a fresh post-DCEU animation slate. X-Men '97 is thinking big with Apocalypse while still leaving room for classic arcs to surface later. Wonder Man looks like a character study about actors and fame first, superhero spectacle second. VisionQuest aims at identity and fatherhood, with Ultron and Stark AIs complicating Vision's humanity. MK III is happening while MK II shifts to May 2026, likely escalating from tournament to Earthrealm stakes. Starfleet Academy's tone split the room, but the world of Trek can still benefit from smaller-scale stories done right. Peacemaker S2 delivers heart and growth for Chris Smith, even if the finale plays more like a handoff to the wider DCU. Checkmate and “metahumans vs government” are poised to be a major connective thread into Superman. Jordan Reynolds frames Adam Warlock as the calm center of a chaotic match – measured, hopeful, and precise. Quotes “Season one was a Peacemaker season. This one felt like a Chris season.” “I just wanted him to be happy.” “Ultron is a better villain than one movie. He deserves to be around more.” “If you cannot move fast, you have to be very conscious about your choices.” – Jordan Reynolds “He should feel stable, reliable, an anchor for the team.” – Jordan Reynolds on Adam Warlock Call to Action Enjoying the show?

Frank and Thomas unpack the Peacemaker Season 2 finale, from John Cena's performance to the big-picture DCU setup. They dig into Salvation Run and Checkmate, how the metahumans vs. government angle points toward Superman, and why this episode feels more like a bridge to Season 3. Along the way, they talk Vigilante's MVP moments, Harcourt's arc, Lex Luthor's influence on Rick Flag, and whether multiverse storytelling still works. Timestamps & Topics 00:00 — Welcome back and life update from Thomas; setting the table for the finale chat 00:55 — James Gunn's podcast, fathers and sons, and why that matters to Chris and Adebayo 02:21 — First impressions: great performances, odd placement for a “finale” episode 04:34 — Will there be a Season 3 and where this could continue in the DCU slate 05:16 — The Superman tie-in: metahumans vs. government, framing the next phase 06:06 — Salvation Run explained, Checkmate connections, and deep-cut DC lore 08:31 — Quantum doors and the “QC” device; quick tour of the multiverse worlds 10:13 — Why the multiverse still works here and how Gunn is trusting the audience 11:12 — That black-hole world and callbacks to the new DCU's prison ideas 12:01 — Rick Flag's heel turn and the debate over Lex's manipulation 14:10 — Government vs. metahumans as a DCU driver; room for Batman later 16:02 — Waller, Task Force X, and where Checkmate fits in public vs. shadow ops 18:00 — Vigilante praise, Fleury chemistry, and why the side cast still matters 20:06 — Chris and Adebayo's “you made me feel loved” scene; mixed reactions 21:30 — Harcourt's arc, the boat, and the kiss that did not shock the internet 24:02 — Expectation traps, Earth X sleuthing, and fan predictions vs. payoff 28:06 — Is Nicholas Hoult scary enough as Lex yet 31:04 — Judo Master, Langston Fleury, and Checkmate as a home for “good but messy” heroes 32:18 — Final thoughts: Season 1 vs. Season 2, and what is next for DC on TV Key Takeaways The finale plays like a handoff, setting up Superman and a broader DCU conflict rather than closing Season 2 cleanly. Salvation Run and Checkmate point to deeper DC lore and a clear government vs. metahuman story. John Cena carries the heart and humor; Vigilante continues to be a stealth MVP. Lex's off-screen sway over Rick Flag divides opinion but supports a long game for the character. The multiverse beats land because they are visual, simple, and high-stakes without heavy exposition. Quotes “John Cena is so lovable. I want to hug him and watch him wreck shop.” “Episode 7 felt like the true finale. This one felt like a plus-one.” “Salvation is basically a planet of villains trying to rule each other.” “Government vs. metahumans sets the stage for Superman and maybe even Batman.” “Vigilante's joy is so raw and kid-like that it weirdly grounds the show.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow the show and leave a quick rating and review.

After a season of multiversal chaos, emotional betrayals, and shifting loyalties, this finale ties together major threads and ends on a cliffhanger that sets the DCU stage ablaze. John Cena continues to anchor the show as Christopher Smith / Peacemaker, torn between duty, love, and identity. Jennifer Holland returns as Emilia Harcourt, whose complicated relationship with Chris comes to a head in this episode. Danielle Brooks appears as Leota Adebayo, and Keeya (Ad's ex / Leota's past love) reunites in a pivotal, emotional moment. Freddie Stroma reprises Vigilante / Adrian Chase, often caught in morally gray territory. Steve Agee returns as John Economos, and Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) reappears as a key antagonist manipulating multiversal tech. The episode also features Eagly, whose deeper powers and unruly loyalty have been a consistent thread of the season. “Full Nelson” delivers some of the season's most talked-about highlights: Chris and Harcourt wandering into a Nelson concert on a party boat, their emotional kiss, and the shocking moment when Rick Flag Sr. kidnaps Chris and throws him into the multiverse portal as the credits roll....

Gear up, truth seekers—@intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove, the fearless frontline warriors of The MG Show, storm into Season 7, Episode 188, “Trump's Shutdown Checkmate: Draining the Swamp with Pink Slips and Program Cuts,” airing October 2, 2025, at 12:05 PM Eastern, blending razor-sharp takedowns of government waste with unfiltered fire on foreign meddling and crime-crushing initiatives. Kicking off with tech glitches sorted—Shady's headphone woes fixed and notes locked in—they dive straight into Florida's fiscal revolution, spotlighting Governor Ron DeSantis's blueprint for slashing a billion bucks in county bloat via FAFO audits, from runaway debt to tax relief that keeps the Sunshine State AAA-rated and a beacon for nationwide reform. Shifting to the Big Apple chaos, they dissect socialist Zohran Mamdani's poll surge in the NYC mayoral race, slamming potential billionaire backers from abroad via shadowy 501c4s and drawing parallels to London's woke mayor, warning of Democratic infiltration that's anything but homegrown. Then it's Stephen Miller's Memphis masterplan stealing the show—a full-throttle federal blitz with ATF, DEA, FBI, and ICE unleashing unlimited support to smash urban crime syndicates, hailed as the blueprint to reclaim American streets from chaos. No holding back on the shutdown spotlight, where Trump's vow to wield pink slips and axe wasteful projects turns gridlock into gold, echoing DeSantis's playbook while media hacks spin panic over "essential" pork. They don't spare the influencers either, blasting the so-called Flynn network and military-industrial shields for peddling misinformation, urging patriots to ditch the echo chamber for independent grit amid 501c4 foreign cash floods warping elections. Wrapping with a swift shutdown of Charlie Kirk conspiracy nonsense—Huckabee's nod to his Israel stance seals it—and a fiery roast of Maxine Waters' push for illegal immigrant healthcare as a blatant vote-rig scheme, Jeff and Shannon lay bare the strings pulling the establishment's puppet show. The truth is learned, never told, and the Constitution is your weapon—tune in at noon-0-five Eastern LIVE to stand with Trump! **Keywords** Trump shutdown, DeSantis spending cuts, Florida fiscal reform, Stephen Miller law enforcement, NYC mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani, foreign funding 501c4, media grifters, government waste, Charlie Kirk, Maxine Waters healthcare, MG Show, @intheMatrixxx, @shadygrooove, America First, deep state **Filename** mgshow_s7e188_trumps_shutdown_checkmate_draining_swamp_pink_slips_program_cuts Tune in weekdays at 12pm ET / 9am PST, hosted by @InTheMatrixxx and @Shadygrooove.

The heroes go after The Icicle once they find out his weaknesses, with some sacrifices along the way (R.I.P. Kent Nelson).

What to listen for:Our hosts, Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing, dive deep into a counterintuitive training philosophy sparked by their recent interview with Petra Ford: sometimes accepting imperfection creates better performance in complex behavior chains.The conversation began with Petra's story about reinforcing her dog even when she knew it wasn't sitting perfectly square. When working on complex detection behaviors, trying to perfect every element simultaneously can destroy the bigger picture. As Robin notes with her recall-refine work over 600 feet of varied terrain, if she withheld reinforcement because her dog's elbows weren't perfectly down, she'd be punishing extraordinary effort over a minor detail.Crystal's breakthrough came through Denise Fenzi's exercise that forced her to reward every single repetition—even mistakes. When her dog Checkmate downed instead of sitting, Crystal still had to reward it. "I thought it would ruin my training," she admits, "but instead it ruined my frustration." The exercise revealed that her dogs were trying harder than she'd realized. They weren't being disobedient; they were navigating the learning process.The Dames of Detection emphasize balance throughout. Yes, reward imperfect efforts when building complex chains or working through challenging problems. But don't reside there permanently—sloppy chains help no one. The key is reading patterns: one mistake is information, three times becomes a training issue to address.Every attempt provides valuable information. Whether working detection, obedience, or protection sports, dogs need to feel free to try without fear of shutdown. When handlers create that emotional safety through strategic reinforcement—even of imperfect attempts—dogs develop the grit and resilience needed for complex work.Key Topics:Petra Ford's Philosophy on Complex Behavior Chains (00:59)Recall-Refine Over Distance: When Good Enough is Great (02:52)Teaching Scent Theory vs. Perfect Alerts (05:00)Crystal's Breakthrough: Rewarding Every Repetition (12:33)Building Duration Behaviors (22:41)Reading Patterns vs. One-Off Mistakes (36:20)Final Takeaways on Clarity and Balance (41:51) Resources:K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 142: Talking Training with Petra Ford Pt 1K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 143: Talking Training with Petra Ford Pt 2We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

We begin with a deep discussion on how Con Inc. continues to congratulate itself for incremental results … in yesterday's battles, while ignoring the more dire ones in front of us today. This ties into the economy, where we have the administration continuing to misdiagnose the housing crisis as a supply issue when in fact the opposite is true. The government plans to double down on all of the asset-juicing policies that got us into this mess. The debt is so bad that the global bond markets are rebelling against governments and central banks because they know that the debt has become a financial juggernaut. So now that we are in financial checkmate, our government is trying to gaslight us into believing that AI will be a savior of the economy, which is why the administration is attempting to create the mother lode of all asset bubbles to try to solve everything it did wrong with the previous bubbles.  Learn more about your ad choices.

But he said the institution should be reviewed, citing what he called "fear-mongering over tariffs" despite the emergence thus far of little, if any, inflationary effect. "I think that what we need to do is examine the entire Federal Reserve institution and whether they have been successful," Bessent said, adding that he would give a keynote speech at the U.S. central bank on Monday evening at the start of a regulatory conference.

Such an examination could involve congressional oversight, audits, or policy changes, though Bessent did not specify details in the interview. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1947343993756344521 Political/Rights Writers Guild Calls on Letitia James to Investigate CBS Cancellation of Late Show With Stephen Colbert Over Alleged “Bribe” to “Curry Favor” With Trump The Writers Guild of America is urging Trump nemesis New York State Attorney General Letitia James to investigate CBS owner Paramount over the cancellation of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
