2026-01-11 | UPDATES #096 | The most serious, system-level legitimacy crisis has hit the regime in Iran, since the revolution of 1979. It's not yet toppled – but is potentially close – and all the ingredients are present for a full-scale revolution. And amidst the massive protests and confrontations, the country has gone dark. The Islamic Republic has hit the switch — cutting internet and communications as protests spread, strikes deepen, and the regime signals it's ready to escalate into lethal repression. Hospitals in numerous towns are reported to be overflowing as the regime turns viscous and murderous. This is not just another flare-up but is radically different in character. The greatest stress-test the regime of the Mullahs in Tehran has faced since the “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising—and some analysts now argue Iran meets most of the classic conditions for a successful revolution. In today's episode: what we know, what we can verify, why this time might be different — and why a collapsing Iranian theocracy would be a strategic catastrophe for Putin's Russia. The regime in Tehran is paranoid, not unlike the Kremlin, and as predicted, the military accused foreign “enemies” of fueling the unrest and urged civilians to stay vigilant against so-called “enemy plots”. Few seem to be falling for this false narrative though. ----------SOURCES: Reuters, “Iran authorities signal intensified crackdown as unrest grows,” 10 Jan 2026.

In this episode, Jillian is joined by David Harris Jr., a leading conservative voice known for fusing Christian faith with blunt cultural and political commentary. With millions following his work, David doesn't dodge the hard questions about religion, morality, accountability, and where America is headed next. We break down: Why morals are collapsing in America How faith became a political battleground Whether belief is healing the nation—or tearing it apart What happens when a country loses its moral anchor America is in moral free fall. Institutions are failing. Truth is blurred. Power is shifting fast.  People are feeling more lost, overwhelmed, and alone than they have in decades. As the country spirals, faith has moved from personal belief to a cultural and political weapon.  Is religion the answer to personal peace and a principled life or another tool weaponized to divide us?

The Green Bay Packers' season is over, and it happened in the most predictable and yet still most painful way possible. Tex, Tyler, and (eventually) Justis discuss the 31-27 loss to the Bears, what's ahead for Matt LaFleur and the coaching staff, and take a journey from calm acceptance into anger and frustration. Where does this game rank in the annals of painful playoff losses? Will LaFleur indeed be back in 2026? Why is Brandon McManus allowed to board the plane back to Green Bay instead of being forced to walk home? All of these questions and more will be answered (except for the last one). Hosted on Acast.

Donald Trump is openly warning Republicans that losing the midterms could lead to his impeachment — and Democrats are proving him right by refusing to act. This video breaks down how Democratic leadership's obsession with “electability” and swing-district politics has turned impeachment from a constitutional duty into a taboo topic. When a president threatens elections, intimidates opponents, and dismisses public opinion, accountability isn't optional — it's the foundation of democracy. By avoiding impeachment of Trump and his enablers, Democrats aren't protecting the system. They're normalizing its collapse. Independent media has never been more important.

He is a Jam facilitator and author of Healing Resistance: A Radically Different Response to Harm and Fierce Vulnerability: Healing from Trauma, Emerging from Collapse. He works with incarcerated people, youth, and activists from around the country. He has over 25 years of experience in nonviolence and social change work. He is a resident of the Canticle Farm community on Lisjan Ohlone land, Oakland, CA, where he lives with his family. You can find out more about his work at www.kazuhaga.com.“The work of nonviolence has to start by looking at the ways in which we hold internal violence of the spirit, that unhealed anger, hatred, resentment, delusion, as well as our unhealed traumas, and understanding how all of that is the source of external violence in the world. Yes we need the social movements, but if we're not grounded in some sort of inner work and introspection a lot of the violence we want to change out there gets replicated in our own work, in our own communities.” –Kazu HagaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this candid and powerful conversation, Michael Grandjean joins Dwayne Kerrigan to share the real story behind his rise, collapse, and rebuilding as an entrepreneur who led with heart—and paid a steep price for it.From early service as a volunteer firefighter and Navy corpsman to building a $25M remediation company, Michael reflects on the leadership blind spots that quietly dismantled his business: avoiding confrontation, ignoring early warning signs, and letting emotion override structure and accountability.He opens up about losing everything, the humility required to face hard truths, and the moment that changed his trajectory—the realization that even at checkmate, the king still has one more move. This episode is a raw masterclass in leadership self-awareness, responsibility, and what it truly takes to rebuild when everything falls apart.Episode Highlights:01:15 — Dwayne introduces Michael and some of his background03:00 — Framing the conversation: collapse, comeback, and leadership through adversity05:00 — Early life experiences that shaped Michael's instinct to serve and protect others08:00 — How learning-by-doing in the military built confidence, skill, and leadership12:00 — The missed Naval Academy opportunity and how a single point changed his life path16:00 — Discovering the root of his need to “fix everything” through early childhood memory20:00 — How that identity became both a leadership strength and a business liability24:00 — From couch-surfing to starting his first company with borrowed money28:00 — Explosive growth: scaling from zero to $25M and building teams that drove success35:00 — Hiring high-accountability leaders and why standards matter more than likability42:00 — The beginning of complacency and losing focus after reaching the “top”48:00 — Major projects fail, millions lost, and the cost of avoiding confrontation55:00 — Hard truths: personal blind spots, delayed decisions, and leadership responsibility01:05:00 — The emotional bottom, rebuilding identity, and the realization that “the king still has one more move”01:20:00 — Final reflections on honesty, courage, accountability, and choosing to move forwardKey Takeaways:Leading with heart is powerful, but without boundaries it becomes expensive.Relationships, not brands, carry small and mid-sized businesses.SOPs, structure, and accountability protect leaders from their blind spots.Complacency quietly erodes even successful companies.Leaders must be honest with themselves before they can fix anything else.Even at your lowest point, you still have one more move.Resources Mentioned:Checkmate: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1365025640684229 Tony Robbins – Date With DestinyAwaken the Giant Within (Tony Robbins)MastermindNotable Quotes:“The king still has one more move” - Michael Grandjean

Send us a textWhat most people don't realize is that the same skills required to build a sustainable business are the exact skills required to build a sustainable body—and a stable life.In this episode, Anthony Amen is interviewed about the behind-the-scenes realities of entrepreneurship, leadership, and long-term health. We break down the shift from being a passionate coach to becoming a true operator: learning systems, respecting numbers, managing emotions, and thinking in decades instead of weeks. This isn't about hustle culture or shortcuts—it's about designing a life that can actually hold success.Anthony shares the frameworks he uses to make high-stakes decisions: when to stay in a 9–5 while building, when asymmetric upside justifies risk, and how the “work-back” method clarifies a 10–20 year future. We also talk about proximity and influence, losing friendships along the way, and how personal growth often requires uncomfortable separation.The conversation gets personal. Anthony opens up about rebuilding his relationship at home, learning emotional regulation under pressure, and realizing that physical training is meaningless if the nervous system, habits, and relationships are broken. The throughline is ownership—of health, reactions, finances, leadership, and legacy.This episode is for driven adults who want more than aesthetics. If you're trying to build a body that supports your career, a business that doesn't cost you your family, and habits that actually compound over time, this conversation will give you the mental models to do it right.This is the philosophy behind Redefine Fitness: train for life capacity, not just the mirror.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com

Health care executive Jason Griffin discusses his article "The digital divide in rural health care." Jason explains how rural providers in the U.S. face critical infrastructure failures and staffing shortages that threaten their ability to serve communities. He explores why standard one-size-fits-all technological solutions often fail these hospitals and advocates for a collaborative model that prioritizes long-term strategic partnerships over temporary fixes. The conversation highlights the economic importance of keeping rural facilities open and the urgent need to listen to local leaders to bridge the digital gap effectively.

In our first episode of 2026, the legendary UK record producer, remixer, and dub pioneer Adrian Sherwood reflects on his fourth solo studio effort, The Collapse of Everything, released last summer on his On-U Sound label. He explains how the album's melodic, contemplative sonic headspace balances modern plugin technology with the raw, "breathing" energy of live performances. He also talks about many of his collaborators like Doug Wimbish and Brian Eno, but also dear departed cohorts such as Keith LeBlanc, Mark Stewart, and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Over his five-decade career, Sherwood has become synonymous with a distinctive "sound-scientist" approach to the mixing desk, most notably associated with the groundbreaking projects African Head Charge, the industrial-funk powerhouse Tackhead,  rhythmic explorers Dub Syndicate, and the seminal roots-dub band Creation Rebel.   The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the escalating crisis that threatens to destroy the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). With Donald Trump eyeing Greenland as a territorial acquisition and European leaders issuing a rare, unified rebuke, the alliance forged in 1949 to contain Soviet power is facing its greatest existential threat.We delve into the history of NATO—from the Berlin Airlift and the Truman Doctrine to its expansion after the Cold War. How did an alliance built on the principle of "an attack on one is an attack on all" crumble into transactionalism? Nick argues that Trump doesn't see a Pax Americana; he sees a world of rival great powers where alliances are liabilities unless they pay cash.If the US moves against Danish sovereign territory, can NATO survive?

In this episode of the Daily, we dive into how the Red Sea crisis and early Lunar New Year demand are driving a 20% spike in ocean rates while carriers strategically manage capacity. We also explore the infrastructure collapse at Venezuela's largest container port, where operational delays have stretched from hours to days following political turmoil. Closer to home, we analyze why cross-border freight from Mexico serves as a vital stabilizer for the industry, even as U.S. carriers face a brutal squeeze between low spot rates and high operating costs. Experts warn that pending regulatory restrictions on non-domiciled CDLs could further disrupt the supply and demand balance in 2026. The episode also covers a wave of major consolidation, highlighted by QXO securing a massive $1.2 billion capital injection to roll up the building products sector. We discuss how specialized acquisitions by companies like Stord and Trinity Logistics are reshaping the competitive landscape, making scenario planning essential for shippers.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan Rittenhouse and Cameron McAllister offer a deep theological analysis of current events, using U.S. involvement in Venezuela as a springboard to explore a much larger cultural shift where efficiency, power, and results increasingly eclipse ethical reasoning and Christian moral reflection. Engaging thinkers like Thomas Aquinas, Jacques Ellul, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Dallas Willard, Nathan and Cameron examine why just war theory, Christian political theology, and moral language often feel irrelevant in today's public discourse—and what that means for Christians seeking faithfulness in a time of cultural transition. This conversation challenges believers to rethink the relationship between church and state, resist conflating Christian faith with political success, and recover a Christ-centered vision of hope, obedience, and vocation amid global instability, cultural upheaval, and moral fragmentation.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

The revolution is no longer theoretical—it's procedural.As Venezuela's vast natural resources place it squarely back into strategic focus and pressure mounts on long-insulated power structures, a parallel reckoning is unfolding inside the United States. From foreign election technology allegations to FOIA-revealed intelligence coordination during the 2020 election, systems built on secrecy are being forced into discovery.Host Ann Vandersteel connects the dots between Venezuela's geopolitical leverage, election technology laundering claims, intelligence community interference, and the growing demand for transparency in both elections and financial markets.Joining the show is Adam DeRito, Colorado congressional candidate, to discuss constitutional accountability, decentralization of power, citizen oversight, and why trust without verification is no longer acceptable in a constitutional republic.Plus: a major announcement for investors and citizens harmed by government and Wall Street collusion—the January 12th 10am EST press conference at SEC Headquarters 100 F St. NE Washington DCDiscovery is the battlefield.And the revolution is on.This is Steel News where truth survives pressure.Follow Ann Vandersteel on Pickax - https://pickax.com/annvandersteel

Happy New Year, everyone, and welcome back to The Adam Carolla Show! In this episode, Mike Dawson joins Adam in the studio to recap the biggest stories and events that occurred during the holiday break. Adam sounds off on the “warmth of collectivism,” his communist grandmother, how low-character people are easily corrupted, and much, much more! IN THE NEWS: Russia and China have condemned the U.S. military's capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, calling the move a violation of sovereignty and saying they're “deeply alarmed” by the use of force against the oil‑rich nation. In Minnesota, Somali day care operators are facing threats and a freeze on federal child care funding after a right‑wing influencer accused them of fraud — claims that investigators have yet to verify. And CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil is making headlines for urging viewers to “hold him accountable” as he takes over CBS Evening News, acknowledging deep public mistrust of mainstream media voices.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH MIKE DAWSON: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @dawsangelesLIVE SHOWS: January 8 - Loveland, COJanuary 9 - Colorado Springs, COJanuary 10 - Colorado Springs, CO (2 shows)January 11 - Greenwood Village, COJanuary 16 - Grants Pass, ORJanuary 17 - Bend, ORThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlinecardiff.co/adamHomes.comoreillyauto.com/adamPluto.tvSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores one of the most debated questions in modern history: Was the Russian Revolution inevitable?Moving beyond the simple narrative of "peace, land, and bread," we delve into the competing schools of historiography that have shaped our understanding of 1917. From the Soviet orthodoxy of historical determinism to the Western liberal view of a Bolshevik coup d'état, and finally to the revisionist and post-revisionist syntheses of scholars like Sheila Fitzpatrick and Orlando Figes.We also examine the structural argument: that revolutions only happen when states cease to function. Was the Tsarist regime doomed by its own incompetence, or could it have survived without the catalyst of World War I? Nick unpacks how the "Great Man" theory fails to explain the collapse of empires and why understanding historiography is the key to unlocking top grades in history exams.Plus: A major announcement for students! Booking is now open for our live masterclass on the Russian Revolution and Stalinism, taking place on Sunday, January 25th. Listen to the end for details on how to secure your spot.Key Topics:The Soviet View: Historical inevitability and Marxist-Leninist dogma.The Liberal View: The revolution as a coup by a fanatical minority.The Revisionist View: The role of genuine mass movements and social history.State Collapse: Why you can't overthrow a functioning state.Books Mentioned:A People's Tragedy by Orlando FigesThe Russian Revolution by Sheila FitzpatrickThe Anxious Triumph by Donald SassoonExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

In this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak Paine break down the stunning weekend developments surrounding the reported extraction of Nicolás Maduro and what it signals for U.S. foreign policy, intelligence operations, and the collapse of long-running color revolutions. The hosts analyze President Trump's press conference, the alleged military operation, and the media narrative attempting to frame events as a conventional regime change. The conversation dives deep into the fog of war surrounding Venezuela, the role of intelligence agencies, cartel power structures, and why Maduro's removal appears strategic rather than theatrical. CannCon and Zak also examine Hollywood parallels, information warfare, and why the optics of this operation matter just as much as the mechanics. From the Donro Doctrine to media meltdowns and questions about who truly controls power in Venezuela, this episode connects geopolitical dots while challenging mainstream explanations. As always, Badlands Daily cuts through surface-level narratives to explore what's really unfolding behind the scenes.

Episode 294 breaks down the latest sports chaos across college football and the NFL. We start with the Ohio State New Year's Eve debacle, why it keeps getting worse, and what it means for the program moving forward. Then we shift to the NFL Week 18 playoff picture, laying out what's locked in, what's still up for grabs, and which teams control their own destiny. We wrap the episode with our NFL Week 18 picks, discussing must-win games, trap spots, and where we're fading the public.Tap in for real takes, playoff scenarios, and Week 18 predictions as the NFL regular season comes to a close.

A narco-state on our doorstep, a stolen election, and eight million people on the move—this week we break down why the U.S. seized Nicolás Maduro under a drug indictment and what that means for Venezuela, the region, and us. We start with the simple facts: the largest oil reserves on earth didn't save a country that nationalized industry, crushed markets, and let foreign adversaries plant flags in our hemisphere. Then we follow the money and the leverage—sanctions, maritime seizures, and the pressure points that force real elections and transparent oil revenues that benefit citizens, not cronies.We bring in Venezuelan voices who lived the collapse and explain why “blood for oil” misses the mark. From Chavez's slow centralization to Maduro's outright theft, we map a clear timeline of how price controls, currency games, and state takeovers gutted GDP and emptied hospitals. We also call out the political whiplash at home—soundbites that once condemned Maduro now condemn his capture—and examine the legal footing that made this a law-enforcement operation, not an invasion. The military piece matters too: a stealth, zero-casualty extraction that quietly reminded Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran what American capability looks like.Then we zoom out. Guyana's offshore boom is the region's most underreported story, a counterexample built on open contracts and credible institutions right next to a disputed border. Protecting Guyana's rise—and guiding a reformed Venezuela toward similar rules—could turn a migration engine into a growth engine for the Americas. Along the way we confront a domestic warning: when leaders romanticize “collectivism” and flirt with seizing the means of production, remember Venezuela's cautionary tale. Strong institutions and market signals aren't slogans; they're the difference between prosperity and an exodus.If this episode challenged your assumptions or gave you new context, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

Happy 2026, patriots this is the make or break year. Either we finally see arrests, fraud exposed, mail-in ballots dismantled, voting machines secured, and power returned to We the People… or America goes down in flames. Elon Musk, is calling out the Democrat voter fraud playbook he knows where the bodies are buried. Joe's latest post fires back: “I feel like Elon is heating up to finish the job of securing the nation.” The left's media cartel is in panic mode, with Denver Post smearing Joe's gubernatorial run and Kyle Clark hiding behind blocks while relentlessly attacking him and Tina Peters.Leighton Grey, KC constitutional powerhouse, King's Counsel, and host of Grey Matter Podcast joins us to break down the war on truth and liberty. From leading national class actions for the unvaccinated and vaccine-injured to authoring Laws, Lies, and Liberties, Leighton reveals how governments codify lies into law, the ongoing assault on Charter rights, and the hope (or lack thereof) for restoring justice through the courts. His insights expose the global pattern of authoritarian overreach and why Canada's fight mirrors America's.Meanwhile, NYC's new Mayor Zohran Mamdani, product of stolen elections was sworn in with foreign music, sparse crowds, and a bold promise of “expansive and audacious” big government. He's surrounded himself with grifters, BLM advocates like Jumaane Williams (who lost his home to foreclosure after $1M debt), and convicted felon Mysonne Linen overseeing public safety. Seattle's new socialist mayor Katie Wilson demands “progressive revenue” (more taxes), while San Francisco floats reparations. Democrats are pushing a vendetta, not solutions and Republicans aren't serious enough to stop them. This is the blueprint. Wake up, fight back, or lose it all.

The Scott Peterson case has never been short on controversy, but the newest filings from the Los Angeles Innocence Project may be the most explosive revelations yet. In this Hidden Killers investigation, Tony Brueski breaks down two seismic developments that could shake the foundation of one of America's most famous murder convictions. First: the alleged destruction of key evidence. According to internal Modesto Police logs cited in the LA Innocence Project's 600-page petition, detectives met behind closed doors on May 6, 2003, to discuss discovery decisions. By the next day, two major items were reportedly marked for destruction: • The videotaped interrogations of Medina-burglary suspects Steven Todd and Glenn Pierce • The safe stolen from the Medina home, just yards from the Peterson residence Within weeks, the petition claims, both were gone — no copies, no transcripts, no forensic testing. California law is clear: under Trombetta and Youngblood, intentional destruction of potentially exculpatory evidence can constitute a constitutional violation. If these allegations are accurate, the petition argues, this wasn't a mistake. It was a turning point. Then comes the second bombshell: the recantation of the very expert whose testimony jurors described as “the nail in the coffin.” Dr. Terry D'Vor now states that updated NIH and WHO fetal-growth data contradict his 2004 conclusions, showing baby Connor's measurements were consistent with a January death — when Scott Peterson was already under round-the-clock surveillance. If modern science shifts the timeline, the prosecution's central theory may not survive. This episode unpacks the evidence, the science, and the law — and asks whether the case against Scott Peterson is structurally sound… or structurally broken. #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #LAInnocenceProject #HiddenKillers #WrongfulConviction #ForensicScience #EvidenceDestruction #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeAnalysis #JusticeForLaci Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In 2026 a return to our core principles as a nation will be the paramount goal. Constraints on power are reasserting themselves. System memory returns. Back to the founder's concepts. Federalism by friction. Borders will be redrawn not in ink, but in practice. Somali's were targeted for specific reasons. We'll hear about currency zones and sovereignty blocks. Europe is changing fast too. UK won't dissolve but unity is weakening. The world sees old rules no longer apply. Conformity is unenforceable. The eighth and ninth Amendments will be key. Power will flow back to the states. This is basic political physics and not rebellion. The economic hardships are real. Traditional structure will win and systems will stop pretending. America 250 matters. Trump's statements on the new year give hints. He won't be around forever. Since 2013, the power has returned to the people. Ohio minimized it's own state's constitution and invited federal overreach. That's important. Empires last about 250 years. Traditional colonialism is returning. China security buildup happening in the Sahel. There's South America and aliens too. Hardships are lessons. So much reckoning is coming. Above it all, President Trump is slowly and carefully returning power to the people.

THE 1975 COLLAPSE AND THE WAR'S STRATEGIC FAILURE Colleague Geoffrey Wawro. Following the 1973 peace deal and US withdrawal, Congressional aid to South Vietnam plummeted, leaving the ARVN deprived of essential logistics and air support. When the NVA launched their final offensive in 1975, the US did not intervene, leading to a chaotic collapse of the South Vietnamese military and the fall of Saigon. The war concluded as a strategic failure where the US fought a political war based on the domino theory without understanding local realities, resulting in immense loss of life for little geopolitical gain.
