What do people in Iran think about the war? We hear from Iranians across the country who tell us how life is changed.Also, we look at the life of foreign workers living in neighbouring countries, hearing from two Indian construction workers from Qatar. We ask how they are feeling since the war started.But others are willing to pay over $250,000 just to escape from the United Arab Emirates.

The U.S. State Department is asking Americans in Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates to register online to receive assistance from authorities to leave the region amid the conflict with Iran. U.S. citizens can contact the State Department directly at +1-202-501-4444 for assistance.Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry says it's preparing a response after two suspected Iranian drones injured four people. Iranian officials have denied responsibility. The UAE says its air defenses detected seven ballistic missiles on March 5. Six were intercepted and destroyed. Qatar also reported a missile attack earlier on March 5. Authorities urge residents to remain indoors as tensions remain high.

The man behind the movement returns to COS at Home, reacting to President Trump's State of the Union, the victory in Kansas, and much more. Mark Meckler is the President and Co-Founder of Convention of States Action and Citizens for Self Governance. Grassroots Director Jonathan Viaud also shares the latest COS news, five minutes of Article V education, and reads viewer responses from the Minuteman Mailbag.

After a brief discussion of Trump and Netanyahu's war with Iran, we turn to defeating authoritarianism by fighting for policies that help people with their most pressing priorities, like good paying jobs, well funded public schools, healthcare and childcare. We discuss the introduction of new legislation for a BadgerCare Public Option, which represents the most comprehensive healthcare affordability proposal introduced in Wisconsin this session. The legislation would open Wisconsin's trusted BadgerCare program to anyone who lacks adequate employer-sponsored coverage. Citizen Action announces a statewide virtual town hall with all the Democratic Governor candidates, Tuesday, April 14th 6pm. We bring attention to Legislative Republicans taking a chunk out of Department of Public Instruction's (DPI's) already approved funding over debunked allegations that they paid for a junket in the Dells. What kind of budget deal allows the Republicans to unilaterally veto agreed funding levels after ignoring the results of their own investigation? We lament the expiration of the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship Program due to GOP opposition following a large land purchase to extend the Ice Age Trail in Devils Lake area. And, as the Legislature may do nothing to regulate data centers – as Big Tech and utilities want – local people fight back, as a Judge allows a Port Washington referendum to continue. Finally, what is the division between Governor Evers and Legislative Democrats on gerrymandering? Will Vos reach another damaging deal with Evers before they both head off into the sunset?

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSomething unusual happened in the Texas primary and it should have people paying attention. Democratic voter turnout surged to levels that normally don't happen in midterm cycles. When that kind of participation shows up in a state like Texas, it raises a much bigger question about the political energy building across the country and what it could mean for the races that will decide control of Washington.If momentum like that spreads beyond one state, the ripple effects could be enormous. Several Senate races are already sitting on a political fault line and the balance of power in Washington may be far less stable than it looks right now.Another political problem is brewing inside Washington itself. A Senate hearing involving Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took a turn that surprised a lot of people when criticism started coming from both Democrats and Republicans. When pressure starts building from both sides of the aisle, the political clock can start ticking very quickly.At the same time the conflict with Iran is creating a second battle back home over how the war is being explained to the public. Pentagon officials insist the mission's working. Reporters are asking a completely different set of questions about where this conflict could lead and how long it could last.Then there's the situation facing Americans trying to leave the Middle East as the conflict grows. Citizens have been told to call a government number if they need help getting out. What some callers say they hear when they reach that number raises serious questions about planning, responsibility, and whether anyone in Washington actually has a real evacuation strategy. Or if anyone in Washington actually cares?The turnout shock in Texas, the growing tension in Washington, and the troubling situation facing Americans overseas are all colliding at the same moment. I dig into what's happening and why it matters.I'm Jeff Alan Wolf and this is A World Gone Mad.What are your thoughts? Please let me know.WolfPackTalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

On the Whole Whale podcast, George interviews Andy Citizen, CTO of Share More Stories, about collecting 150–300+ word experience-based stories (typed or voice) from targeted constituencies via a web app and analyzing them with AI. Share More Stories uses sequential classification across ~70 cloud models to score stories for evidence of emotions like anxiety, joy, and self-transcendence, combining these scores with light demographics and survey data, then using a generative AI agent constrained to the dataset to explore themes, anomalies, and demographic differences iteratively. They discuss nonprofit uses such as before-and-after journaling and program impact, the importance of prompts, and how AI should augment rather than automate, with emphasis on user competency, intent, validation, and avoiding hallucinations. Citizen critiques “AI everywhere” features and AI-written social content as trust-eroding, argues trust is a major opportunity, shares concerns about DevOps at scale, and reflects on community involvement and moving faster by reducing process gaps. 00:00 Meet Andy Citizen 00:50 What Share More Stories Does 01:57 Collecting Real Experience Stories 02:41 AI Scoring Emotional Signals 04:14 How Stories Are Gathered 05:24 Prompts Versus Surveys 06:26 Dashboards Reports And Agents 09:20 Nonprofit Program Evaluation Uses 12:06 Prompt Craft And Hidden Insights 14:05 AI Adoption And Training Gaps 17:46 Use Cases Lanes And Hallucinations 20:27 AI Side Of Fries And Trust 25:44 Rapid Fire Tech Questions 29:39 Personal Advice And Community 31:58 Magic Wand For Human Connection 34:12 How To Connect And Wrap Up

Written by August Wilson Directed by Cheyenne Barboza Set in 1904 Pittsburgh, Gem of the Ocean begins at the home of Aunt Ester, a 285-year-old spiritual healer and former slave believed to carry the memory of the African diaspora. When Citizen Barlow, a newcomer from the South, arrives haunted by guilt, Aunt Ester sends him on a spiritual journey to the mythical City of Bones to confront his past and ancestry. As the community wrestles with protest, injustice, and the cost of resistance, Citizen must choose the legacy he'll carry forward. The first in The American Century Cycle, Gem of the Ocean is a lyrical story of reckoning and the path to freedom.

The Olympics have ended, and the USA has taken home the gold in men's and women's hockey — let's go! The Olympics often bring out the best in sport and in patriotic fervor. Countries competing without killing — that was the original idea in 1896 when the Games were revived in Athens, Greece. Ephesians uses the imagery, passion, and language of citizens and nations to declare a new way of understanding our identity. When it works, Jesus said it would be the most powerful proof of Christ in us. A new way of thinking indeed.   First time listening to our podcast?

What does it take to build a thriving café in one of the most competitive cities in the world and then successfully expand it across state lines?In this episode, I sit down with Justin Giuffrida, founder of Citizens, an Australian-inspired café that began in NYC and has grown into a community-centered, data-driven business. Justin shares the story of bringing Australian café culture to the US and building a brand rooted in connection - not just coffee.We also dive into Citizens' strategic expansion into Texas, including how Justin evaluated new markets, used data to guide decisions, and ensured the brand's core identity translated beyond New York. Rather than expanding quickly for the sake of growth, Citizens approached Texas with intentionality - focusing on location selection, community integration, and maintaining brand standards.In this conversation, we cover:Transitioning from finance to entrepreneurshipThe role of data in smart expansion decisionsWhy community is Citizens' biggest competitive advantageHow equity crowdfunding allows customers to become investorsDefining brand pillars to scale sustainably across marketsWhether you're growing a brick-and-mortar brand, considering multi-state expansion, or building something community-driven from the ground up, this episode is packed with insights.Learn more: https://citizensallday.com/Connect with Becks: https://becsea.com

What does it look like to find real joy in the middle of suffering? In this sermon from our series "Invitation to Joy," we explore Philippians 1:27–29 and discover that biblical joy isn't the absence of pain, it's the presence of trust. Using the analogy of running a half marathon, we unpack how seeing the finish line changes the way we endure. The Apostle Paul, writing from a Roman prison, teaches the church at Philippi three powerful truths: joy is durable and anchored in our citizenship in God's kingdom, joy is formed through resistance and purposeful suffering, and joy becomes courageous communion when believers stand firm together. We also look at how Jesus modeled this in the Garden of Gethsemane: naming His pain, surrendering to the Father, and enduring the cross for the joy set before Him. Whether you're walking through a hard season, struggling with loss, or feeling isolated, this message is a reminder that suffering with purpose produces something deeper than comfort ever could.0:00 Introduction — Running the Richmond Half Marathon2:56 When the Finish Line Changes Everything4:17 Paul's Letter from Prison — Suffering as a Gift5:16 Joy Is Durable — Whatever Happens7:04 Conduct Yourself as a Citizen of Heaven9:30 Your Primary Citizenship Is the Kingdom of God11:29 Comfort-Based Joy vs. Kingdom Joy13:18 Joy Is Formed Through Resistance15:07 Suffering and Meaningful Goals17:19 We Don't Suffer for Suffering's Sake18:52 Planting a Church and Choosing Discomfort20:03 The Problem with Sin — False Promises of Comfort21:58 Fasting, Lent, and Spiritual Training23:19 Small Sufferings Build Spiritual Muscles24:35 Joy Becomes Courageous Communion27:08 You Never Suffer Alone28:01 Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane29:24 For the Joy Set Before Him — Enduring the Cross30:10 Joy Is Not the Absence of Suffering31:32 Prayer and Leaning into the Holy Spirit34:40 Joy Is Coming — Weeping May Last for a Night35:21 Closing PrayerSupport the showMade a decision to follow Jesus?

1 Peter | Part 8: Strange CitizensSome of you know the book well. For others, it may feel unfamiliar.But Peter names the tension every believer feels. We live in a world that often moves in a different direction. He calls us “exiles,” yet reminds us we are chosen, loved, held by a living hope.The heart of this series is simple. It is not just about studying a letter. It is about becoming the kind of people Peter envisions: Steady. Courageous. Formed by grace.Teaching Text: 1 Peter 2:11-25Preached by Paul Khochay

Democrats RAGING After Trump's State Of The Union Address! Andrew Branca. 16 Minute Documentary on Voter Fraud.   MEDIA REACTS! Democrats RAGING After Trump's State Of The Union Address! Andrew Branca. At the State of the Union, President Trump asked lawmakers to stand if they agreed with a simple principle: the first duty of government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. Many Democrats refused. The moment sparked fierce backlash, viral clips, and crushing post-speech polling showing overwhelming approval from viewers. Was it political theater — or a revealing moment about party priorities? Constitutional stakes, the Save America Act, birthright citizenship debates, sanctuary policies, and why this single visual moment may shape the 2026 midterms.

Conflict entrepreneurs get money, influence and power by sparking anger and outrage. The Braver Angels call for courageous citizenship does precisely the opposite. In this podcast we hear the case for citizen power not paralysis, action not reaction, and why building America's civic muscle is so much better than burning things down.Here is a passionate, thoughtful and curious conversation between Braver Angels C.E.O. Maury Giles and Wilk Wilkinson, Director of Braver Angels Media Operations. Both came to their work with the campaign after years in the private sector. Maury and Wilk are conservatives in a movement where a majority is either independent or leans blue.Our episode is the latest in more than two dozen "How Do We Fix It?" discussions on the people, projects and ideas of America's largest organization committed to civic renewal and building trust across partisan divides. The edited recording was first published in longer form by Wilk's podcast, "Derate The Hate"."At the end of the day the common thing we're trying to get to is how do you get out of the outrage cycle so you can see clearly what you're going to do next," says Maury.Hear about about America's crisis of mistrust, and the responsibility of citizens to act with courage, instead of reacting with fury and fear. Gain a fully understanding of the case for courageous citizenship. Learn why it's important to recruit more conservatives to our movement. Get the scoop about "A Pledge Renewed", the theme of this year's Braver Angels Convention in Philadelphia. This episode covers them all and a good deal more.Here's a link to "The Power of Giving Away Power How The Best Leaders Learn to Let Go", by Matthew Barzun, mentioned by Maury during the conversation. Thank you to Wilk for his help and giving us permission to share this discussion. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Discussions about democracy probably started in Athens about 2500 years ago. A truism is that society is democratic to the extent that its citizens play a meaningful role in managing public affairs. Democracy is located within the capitalist economic system, infamous for producing colossal inequality. There's no level playing field, as great income and wealth translate into political power for the haves at the expense of the have-nots. We have procedural democracy: elections, broadcast debates, primaries, etc. Citizens are largely marginalized, overwhelmed by big money and powerful lobbies. Look at the widespread demand to ban assault weapons of war, for universal single-payer health care, to protect the environment, and for affordable housing. People want those things but elites have a simple message. Vote. Then go home and leave everything to us. Actual democracy is hollowed out. A Davos-type class rules.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect President Trump making the Democrats look heartless and crazy in their refusal to applaud almost anything, Trump's reluctance to pursue an aggressive legislative agenda this year, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's forgettable rebuttal to Trump's speech, and the truly insane event Dems put on during the speech.First, they explain what they liked about the speech, including Trump exposing that Democrats oppose the protection of citizens over illegal aliens and or stopping schools or local governments from transitioning minors without the knowledge or consent of parents. Democrats also refused to clap for families traumatized by violent crime and even seemed pretty unenthused about the Olympic champion hockey team. Talk about an own goal!Next, they scratch their heads at news that President Trump doesn't want to pursue another reconciliation bill in Congress this year to pass more GOP fiscal priorities while Republicans still hold majorities on both sides of Capitol Hill. Jim and Greg urge him to reconsider and point to the value such an agenda would have on the midterms.Finally, they pan the Democrats' rebuttal delivered by Gov. Spanberger, noting what they see as hypocrisy on some issues and incoherence on others. They also highlight the thoroughly bizarre event lefties ran in opposition to the State of the Union.Please visit our great sponsors:Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLLive better, longer with BUBS Naturals.
