(1) Liz Peek discusses the K-shaped economy, where wealthy retirees flourish while lower-income citizens struggle with inflation and high gasoline costs. The Iran war significantly impacts oil prices, threatening real wage growth.

Preview for Later Today: Gregory Copley explores King Charles III's rapport with common citizens and tribal leaders, distinguishing the crown from the aristocracy. He notes the King's personal connections, such as a long-standing correspondence with a Brazilian chief.1920

(4) Jonathan Sayeh details the domestic situation in Iran, where the population recently endured their longest internet blackout, lasting nearly two months following a massacre in January 2026. Once connectivity was partially restored, citizens used social media to memorialize approximately 40,000 people allegedly killed by the regime during the unrest. Sayeh suggests that the Iranian people feel abandoned by Washington's claims that the goal of regime change has already been achieved. Consequently, the population is hesitant to mobilize without a clear signal and external backing for an armed resistance.1511

Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old white man, was stabbed to death by a minority. He told officers nine times he could not breathe - but they did not believe him. Instead, they placed Henry in handcuffs and accused him of racism. He bled out. Nigel Farage is leading the outrage — saying that in Britain white lives should matter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pastor Will Ford's message emphasizes that encountering God can happen through engaging with His creation. Using scripture from Genesis, Luke, and Deuteronomy, he highlights that humans, created in God's image, have a sacred role in life and stewardship, and that standing for life—from the womb to the grave—is central to honoring God. He explores the historical and spiritual consequences of child sacrifice, abortion, and eugenics, drawing parallels from biblical accounts to modern practices, while urging men and the church to pursue holiness, protect the next generation, and participate in movements like the Citizens for Life as acts of connecting with the Creator.

Donald Trump promised lower prices and a stronger economy. Instead, Americans facing a devastating economic shock in the coming months. Matt Robison speaks with Anne Kim and Ira Shapiro, co-editors of Betrayed: America Didn't Vote for This, about the long-term consequences of Trump's second term, the damage to institutions, the rule of law, government competence, medical research, and democracy itself.Then Matt is joined by Lawrence Winnerman to discuss his blockbuster analysis of why rising energy costs, supply-chain disruptions, inflation pressures, and the AI economy may be setting the stage for a major economic downturn. They explore the hidden costs of the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, the growing gap between Wall Street and the real economy, and whether artificial intelligence could eliminate millions of white-collar jobs.Subscribe to Worth Knowing for independent analysis you won't find anywhere else: https://worthknowing.substack.com#Trump #Economy #Recession #Inflation #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Politics #Project2025 #Substack #WorthKnowing #LawrenceWinterman #AnneKim #IraShapiro #DonaldTrump #EconomicCrisis #WhiteCollarJobs #MiddleClass #Tariffs #Iran #StockMarket00:00 Introduction: Actions, consequences, and America's coming economic shock01:17 Why Trump won in 2024—and why many voters feel betrayed03:35 Introducing Anne Kim and Ira Shapiro04:29 The most destructive thing Trump has done06:26 DOGE, federal workforce cuts, and institutional damage08:17 Elections, democracy, and public trust10:24 What insiders say privately about Trump13:12 The assault on the rule of law15:02 Damage that may never be reversed16:10 Can America's political culture recover?18:07 Why former Trump voters are turning against him19:11 The meaning of "Betrayed"21:18 Trump's legislative legacy and the SALT deduction debate22:05 What the authors hope this book will accomplish23:17 Citizen action and political accountability24:07 Can institutional damage be repaired?25:08 Has Trump created a playbook for future presidents?26:31 The critical choice facing America in 202828:38 Transition to Lawrence Winterman29:42 The economic consequences are coming30:20 Oil tankers, inventory cushions, and delayed inflation33:19 When consumers will begin to feel the impact34:13 Why even reopening the Strait of Hormuz may not help35:18 The long-term "stupidity tax"36:32 Known consequences vs. unknown consequences37:13 AI spending, recession risks, and economic distortion39:34 AI, white-collar jobs, and the coming disruption40:16 Why the stock market is disconnected from the real economy41:11 Are tech CEOs quietly preparing for a major shift?43:04 AI layoffs and corporate adoption44:08 Could AI replace millions of white-collar jobs?45:12 Is the AI boom becoming a bubble?46:06 What AI means for writers, creators, and Substack47:18 How AI is changing work inside major corporations49:39 Could AI create more jobs than it destroys?50:25 The productivity gap explained52:33 What happens during economic transitions?53:37 Ross Perot's "giant sucking sound" revisited54:34 Trump's failure to prepare America for AI55:14 Policy ideas to soften the transition56:20 Universal basic income and other proposals57:24 Why the real problem is that we're not having the conversation58:03 The benefits—and risks—of technological progress59:14 Should AI be taxed?1:00:04 Why America may already be running out of time1:01:00 Final thoughts and next week's episode

The Fourteenth Amendment conferred citizenship on those born in the United States, but one group was left out: Native Americans. In 1884, a case challenging that position made its way to the Supreme Court. John Elk brought a case against a registrar in Omaha for refusing to register him to vote because he was not considered a citizen. In a 7–2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment did not apply to Elk because, as an Indian, he was not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

Denim should be the easiest thing in our closet — we wear it almost every single day — but somehow it's the category that humbles us the most. We've all had that experience of walking into a department store, trying on ten pairs of jeans, and leaving with none.I'm joined by Lindsay Davidson Paley, founder of Lenny, the LA vintage denim store that has become a destination for anyone looking for their perfect pair. After spending an afternoon in her store and walking out with jeans I actually love, I wanted to sit down with her to demystify everything about denim — from why fit feels impossible right now, to what to actually look for when you're vintage shopping, to the conversation you should be having with your tailor.In this episode, we get into:Why finding jeans that fit feels harder than ever (and the fit model problem nobody talks about)Vanity sizing and why you're a 24 in one brand and a 26 in anotherThe single most important thing to know before you shop for jeans (hint: your measurements)Why Lindsay's a firm believer in dressing for your body — and the one rule jeans don't get to breakThe Levi's 501 lore: why everyone wants them, why they don't work on everyone, and how to actually wear themThe viral "size up three in the new 501s" hack — and whether it actually worksThe three non-negotiables Lindsay looks for when sourcing vintage denim (original hem, wash, distressing)Why the original hem is sacred and what to tell your tailor so you never lose itThe case against skinny jeans (and why America is the only country that agrees)Why a dark wash is the most universally flattering and elevatingThe crotch test — Lindsay's #1 tell for whether a pair of jeans is actually right for youHow to know when a pair is workable for tailoring vs. when to put them backWhether $700 jeans are worth it and what you're actually paying forThe best modern denim brands worth investing in (Agolde, Citizens, The Row's Yale Alaw, Khaite, Reformation)The best pregnancy jean (and the Levi's Low Loose nobody can stop wearing)Why denim is officially a neutral — and what it says about fashion that Chanel, Celine, and Gucci are all sending jeans down the runwayPlus, on Let's Get You Dressed: what to actually wear to a spring baby shower when you're not a floral dress girlConnect with Lindsey Davidson Paley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withlovelenny/Let's Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

What if the primary message of Jesus wasn't personal salvation or the afterlife, but something far bigger—something present and active right now? This episode dives deep into the oft-overlooked theme of the kingdom of God, exploring what Jesus really meant when he talked about the kingdom over a hundred times in the Gospels. Discover why this message is still central today, how it changes our understanding of faith, and what it looks like to live as a citizen of the kingdom right where you are.

Roger Mitchell and Mark Oliver are joined by Peter Hutton – a man who has worked for three modern moguls, Murdoch, Zaslav and Zuckerberg – to unpack what sport really means to big media in 2026. From Eurosport and the Olympics to Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount and the Saudi Pro League, they dig into whether spiralling rights fees have become a “survivor tax”, why bundling and streaming are reshaping the old playbook, and if the real endgame now is not buying the rights, but buying the sport itself and the power that comes with it. Brought to you by 54.

Texas is projected to become the leading data center hub and market by 2030. Whatever your concerns—whether it's about growing AI demand, the power grid being overburdened, you don't want hundreds of diesel generators in your backyard, you don't want to subsidize the richest companies in the world, or you don't want communities waning water supplies to be wasted—it's top of mind for most Texans.

Project Out Loud – The danger is not some fanciful Hollywood plot. Citizens must demand action from elected officials and utility boards. We can start by spreading awareness and applying pressure until protecting transformers is a national priority rather than an obscure briefing in a bureaucracy. If we wait for a catastrophe to teach us the lesson, the cost will dwarf any price tag we balk at today...

Following the tick report, we dive into a wild week for MAGA lackey Tom Tiffany who said he was open to Trump slush fund payouts to January 6th insurrectionists and those who attempted to illegally overturn an election. In addition, Tiffany admitted he was against the budget deal because he wants to give away more state revenue (to rich people of course). Robert takes on the Marquette Law Poll which found 80% of Wisconsinites polled support the failed surplus deal. This is another example of polling failing to improve democratic deliberation, as the ever shrinking state media fails to adequately inform voters. The Congressional Progressive Caucus is backing Taxing A.I. We love it and discuss the need for progressive revenue in Washington and Madison to fund pressing public priorities like public schools, healthcare, and childcare. Sleazy Independent Expenditure campaigns have begun in Democratic Gubernatorial primary. We try to look at who's behind the money. You may be suprised what we were able to dig up. We close with a look at how corporate America buys our lawmakers with hard and soft power, including a Big Pharma backed event state legislator event in Madison this summer pitched as a way to improve legislative skills. We discuss and encourage our listeners to RSVP to Citizen Action's virtual Annual Member Meeting, next Saturday, June 6th, 10am.

In this reflective episode, Brian opens up a conversation he's been turning over for a while now. Occam's razor, the principle he quotes on this show more than any other, and why it keeps walking back into the room every time he tries to make sense of a Sasquatch report, a piece of evidence, or a guest's wilder claim. He walks through what the principle actually says versus the bumper sticker version most people learn, why simple isn't really the right word for what Occam was getting at, and how a good razor cuts both ways for the lazy skeptic and the eager believer alike.Brian also gets honest, on the record, about his disagreement with Bill Munns on the new Capturing Bigfoot documentary and the forty second clip the filmmakers say was shot on 1966 film stock. With genuine respect for Bill and the work he's done, Brian walks through why the simplest explanation for that footage isn't the one Bill is offering, why he thinks Bill is working backward from a conclusion rather than forward from the evidence, and why the honest position is to keep both possibilities on the table while the rest of the story unfolds.From the witness record and dermal ridges to the Sierra Sounds, from his own 2024 sighting in Washington State to the absence of a body that remains the field's central problem, this episode lays out the biological case clearly and then turns to the part that's been on his mind lately.The shift among some of his guests toward an interdimensional, telepathic, paranormal Sasquatch, and the slippery slope of explaining one mystery by stacking another mystery on top of it.Brian closes with a hard look at citizen science.The documentation discipline he learned in the academy, the role of independent labs, the value of negative results, the trap of confirmation bias, and the patient work that eventually moved meteorites and the giant squid from myth to accepted science.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

AI is putting ransomware on steroids, and on this week's episode of Feds At the Edge we examine several approaches to reducing the impact of malicious actors through advanced protection strategies and smarter cybersecurity budgeting.   Michael Dent, Retired CISO with Fairfax County, shares how he takes cybersecurity training to the next level with what he calls "Challenge Point," rewarding employees for identifying signs of potential attacks. Glendon Schmitz, Virginia State Corporation Commission, discusses the importance of showing leadership the direct financial impact of an attack when seeking successful budget approval. Akamai Technologies' Douglas Holland explores the emotional tactics malicious actors use to pressure unsuspecting users into complying with urgent requests.   Tune in on your favorite podcast platform for more on this and ransomware-as-a-service, the long-term effects on public trust, leadership accountability, and the growing need for initiative-taking governance and budgeting.

In this episode of Connecting the Dots, Matt sits down with Jill Vitale-Aussem, President and CEO of Christian Living Communities, to explore a powerful shift in senior living: moving from a hospitality-driven model to a citizenship model rooted in purpose, belonging, reciprocity, and shared ownership.Jill reflects on her early experiences in nursing homes, the moment she began questioning the “we'll do everything for you” promise often found in senior living, and why true community is built when residents are seen not just as customers, but as citizens with gifts, agency, and something meaningful to contribute.Together, Matt and Jill discuss how this model changes daily life inside communities, how residents and team members care for one another, and why leaders should begin with better questions instead of ready-made answers.Guest Bio:Jill Vitale-Aussem is the President and CEO of Christian Living Communities, where she leads the organization's vision, culture, and growth across a continuum of services for older adults. With more than 30 years of experience in senior living, Jill has served in leadership roles across nursing homes, assisted living communities, and life plan communities. She previously served as President and CEO of the Eden Alternative, advancing a global movement focused on improving quality of life for older adults and their care partners.Jill is a licensed nursing home administrator, reframing aging facilitator, Eden Alternative educator, and graduate of the LeadingAge Leadership Academy. She is also the author of Disrupting the Status Quo of Senior Living: A Mindshift and speaks internationally on leadership, culture change, and ageism.Chapters:02:00 — Introduction to Jill Vitale-Aussem03:14 — Jill's path into senior living06:07 — Questioning the hospitality model07:14 — Purpose, independence, and ageism09:06 — What citizenship means in senior living10:18 — Citizenship in everyday community life13:07 — Doing things with residents, not for residents15:15 — Purpose in action17:02 — Helping people recognize their gifts19:02 — Resident ownership of team member experience22:01 — How citizenship reshapes leadership23:34 — Reciprocity between residents and team members25:34 — Where leaders should begin27:45 — Closing reflections

Seiko, Citizen, and Casio each pulled in over a billion dollars in revenue last year — in most cases record-breaking, and all three landing neck and neck around $1.3 billion with healthy 9–14% net margins. That's remarkable on its own. It's stunning when you remember it happened in the same sub-$5,000 segment that's been punishing the Swiss. While Swatch Group struggles and the broader industry hunts for its footing, Japan's big three are quietly having their strongest year in decades. We dig into why. The short version: they're counter-positioned to everything that's currently working against Swiss luxury. A weak yen against a punishingly strong franc, a value-and-reliability pitch instead of a luxury-and-heritage one, a technology focus (spring drive, solar, high-accuracy quartz, the entire G-Shock universe) at the exact moment tastes drift away from vintage reissues, and diversified distribution into markets like Latin America and India that the Swiss lean on far less. We also get into how different these three businesses actually are under the hood — Casio's pivot to watches as a majority of revenue, and Citizen's sprawling structure spanning La Joux-Perret, Miyota, Bulova, Frédéric Constant, Alpina, Arnold & Son, and Angelus — and why Seiko still doesn't get half the respect it deserves. Before all that, we welcome Niton and the Niton Prima to Collective, and put a final cap on the AP x Swatch launch — the crowds, the resellers, the injuries, and Nick Hayek's remarkably flip BBC interview — a moment that revealed real cultural relevance for AP and a real crisis-management failure for Swatch. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, Jim was away and guest hosts included Inez Stepman of Independent Women, Hillsdale College Radio General Manager Scot Bertram, and radio and podcast host Craig Collins.This week our biggest stories included Republican voters in Kentucky soundly defeating Rep. Thomas Massie, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass saying she wants to "explore" non-citizen voting, former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown dodging answers on ket issues as he tries to return to the Senate, and the weird congressional obsession with Daylight Saving Time.First, Inez and Greg react to Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie losing decisively to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein. They also examine how Massie's image shifted from principled libertarian conservative to a frequent obstacle to the broader GOP agenda.Next, Scot and Greg chronicle Karen Bass saying she is willing to explore non-citizen voting in LA. Scot explains how the left's arguments about citizenship are wildly inconsistent. Greg believes the Democrats' goals on this issue are crystal clear.Then, Craig and Greg get a good laugh out of former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, who was voted out of office in 2024 and running for U.S. Senate again this year, claiming he doesn't know enough about the issues to say whether he supports abolishing ICE or cutting off military aid to Israel.Finally, Scot and Greg groan as the House of Representatives once again considers legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Scot and Greg explain why this is a terrible idea, what the better permanent time would be, and what the best approach to our clocks really is.Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing TreesBetter plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.New episodes every weekday.

They discuss the mass removals during the interwar period that expelled approximately 1 million ethnic Mexicans from the United States, how many of these procedures occurred extralegally, and the roles that both Mexican and U.S. governments played in construing U.S. citizens of Mexican descent as foreign to the U.S. Support the podcast by becoming a patron: https://patreon.com/radiocachimbona?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkFollow @radiocachimbona on Instagram, X, and Facebook Buy Marla Ramire'z book "Banished Citizens" here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/banished-citizens-a-history-of-the-mexican-american-women-who-endured-repatriation-assistant-professor-of-history-marla-a-ram-rez/7a27128ace95b7d6?ean=9780674295940&next=t&aid=1421&listref=2025-books-by-latinx-authors
