JUNE 14 | Who Is This King? | Mark 11:12-25 ...The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.'”The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.When evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

James Golden aka Bo Snerdley explores the tragic intersection of the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf and what Golden describes a pervasive confrontation culture in modern society. By recounting the case of Karmelo Anthony—a student sentenced to prison after killing Austin Metcalf during a dispute over a team tent—the Golden argues that the tragedy was fueled by an aggressive attitude and a "gangster" persona rather than mere self-defense. The commentary moves from this specific incident to a broader critique of how social media incentives and a lack of good manners encourage people to seek out conflict for profit or status.

The Road to Goldwater: Ronald Reagan's Conservative Conversion via General Electric and His Confrontational Governorship. Max Boot discusses how Ronald Reagan found great success in television, hosting the General Electric Theater and earning substantial income while mixing with corporate leadership in the 1950s and early 1960s. Reagan transitioned politically from being an avid New Dealer and FDR supporter to supporting the early Republican conservative movement, particularly Barry Goldwater. Boot argues that Reagan changed, not the Democratic Party, as his transformation began in World War II when he resented paying income taxes at a 90% rate. His political shift was completed in the 1950s during his time as a spokesman for General Electric, where he used long train rides to read conservative literature. In 1964, Reagan's debut on the national political stage came when the Goldwater campaign bought half an hour of air time for Reagan to deliver "A Time for Choosing," which became known simply as "the speech." In 1966, Reagan decided to run for governor against incumbent Pat Brown. During his tenure, particularly the People's Park demonstrations in 1969, Reagan adopted a confrontational stance, using hardline rhetoric and giving student radicals the confrontation they desired, though this approach was politically successful. Reagan was a devoted supporter of Richard Nixon, even backing him during Watergate, though Nixon held little respect for Reagan. Reagan ran hard for the presidency in 1976 and 1980.
Ellen Coyne and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics: · With Jim Gavin gone, the presidential election is now a two-horse race between Catherine Connolly and Heather Humphreys, and a more combative one at that as the third live debate on Thursday on RTÉ Radio's Drivetime will attest. Is Heather Humphreys trying to appeal to voters on the left who haven't made their mind up about Connolly yet? · As the timetable of who knew what and when becomes apparent in the Jim Gavin controversy, could those running his campaign have done anything to dampen the impact of the revelation around an unpaid debt to a former tenant from Gavin's time as a landlord in 2009? And why did Gavin go ahead and participate in RTÉ's televised debate last Sunday when the game was already effectively up? · And will Wednesday's marathon Fianna Fáil party meeting provide enough catharsis for a cohort within the party questioning Micheál Martin's leadership in the wake of the Jim Gavin fiasco? Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Manchán Magan remembered, Japan's Iron Lady, and Ray D'Arcy leaves RTÉ. Hosted on Acast.

My guest today is Jonathan Siddharth, co-founder and CEO of Turing.Jonathan incubated Turing in Foundation Capital's Palo Alto office in 2018. Since then, it has grown into a multi-billion dollar company that powers nearly every frontier AI lab: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and others. If you've seen a breakthrough in how AI reasons or codes, odds are Turing had a hand in it.Jonathan has a provocative thesis: within three years, every white-collar job, including the CEO's, will be automated. In this episode, we talk about what it will take to reach artificial superintelligence, why this goal matters, and how the agentic era will fundamentally reshape work. We also dig into his founder journey: what he learned from his first startup Rover, how he built Turing from day one, and how his leadership style has evolved to emphasize speed, intensity, and staying in the details.Jonathan has been at the edge of AI for years, and he has the rare ability to translate what's happening at the frontier into lessons for builders today.Hope you enjoy the conversation!

Send us a textConfrontational Evangelism is NOT hate speech! Charlie Kirk was a great example of how Christians should be sharing the TRUTH of God's Word with a lost world.Yes! It will be CONFRONTATIONAL! But confrontation is, more often than not, necessary at times to combat and restrain evil. How can we change the way people THINK, without being confrontational and challenging their foundation?The Church finds itself in another situation… in another opportunity given to us by GOD…. To make a choice to stand on the TRUTH of God's Word, and to use it as God intended, for Doctrine, Reproof, Correction, and Instruction in Righteousness!www.LeagueOfLogic.com
