This week Erik and Aidan discuss the most controversial player in tennis, Nick Kyrgios. Known for his antics on and off the court, Kyrgios burst onto the scene around 2015 displaying incredible talent and taking out top opponents in big matches. However, talent can only take you so far, and Kyrgios has displayed huge amounts of inconsistency over the course of his career. He has played at tennis' biggest stage, the Wimbledon final, but has never truly been a next-level player, peaking at a ranking just outside the top 10. With all the talent in the world, Kyrgios may truly be the biggest what-if in tennis history.

Steve and Katie speak with critic and author Blake Gopnik about his new book The Maverick's Museum: Albert Barnes and His American Dream. They discuss Barnes's rise out of poverty to the heights of modern art collecting and his progressive societal priorities, namely the foundation he started to educate common people through a formalist approach to modern art. This foundation, like Barnes himself, became mired in controversy and a victim of Barnes's desire to have complete control after his death. Part II will be released next month and will focus on the legal battles involving the Foundation after Barnes's death, culminating in the Foundation's transformation to a public museum in a new building in downtown Philadelphia.   Notes for this episode: https://artlawpodcast.com/2026/01/05/albert-barnes-part-i-the-controversial-man-and-his-foundation/   Follow the Art Law Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artlawpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@artlawpodcast Katie and Steve discuss topics based on news and magazine articles and court filings and not based on original research unless specifically noted.

Today on The Jeff Dornik Show, JD Hall and I confront one of the most divisive and untouchable issues in modern Christianity: Israel, Zionism, and Replacement Theology. I come from a lifelong Christian Zionist worldview, but recently I've begun questioning narratives that were handed to me without permission to challenge them. JD stands on the opposite end of the theological spectrum, and this conversation isn't about comfort—it's about truth. Expect tension, sharp disagreement, and an unfiltered examination of doctrines that have shaped generations of believers but rarely faced real scrutiny.Buckle up for the book Church & State – the exposé that spills the holy beans on how the Left's been playing chess while we were playing checkers.

This episode was originally broadcast in June 2023, watch the episode on YouTube here. Cleaning Up will return with new episodes January 7th, 2026. Tzeporah Berman has been leading environmental campaigns in her native Canada and beyond for over thirty years. Today, she is Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, and International Program Director at Stand.earth, the environmental organisation that she co-founded. Tzeporah was formerly co-director of Greenpeace's Global Climate and Energy Program, and her success campaigning against fossil development has seen her dubbed “Canada's Queen of Green”. Tzeporah and Michael take in everything from helping turn Meta and other tech giants off coal and onto renewables, fighting fossil and pipeline expansion in Alberta, and whether a non-proliferation treaty could be the solution for a managed decline of fossil fuel use.Read more:The fossil fuel non proliferation treaty website: https://fossilfueltreaty.org

Left's Trump BlackoutI'm still waiting for an update of that Leftist Presidential Blackout. How did that work out for the Left. Because not a day has gone by where the president hasn't dominated the news cycle, which is great news for the Left. Because when they are in the news cycle, it's horrible. Let's begin profiling the Left where else but CA. CA woesValero offered $200M to stay. Taking a $1B loss to leave CA. A billion dollars isn't what it used to be, but I'd have to hate you to leave behind. And that's what Valero is doing to CA. It's like a billionaire who marries a bimbo, then decides to cut his losses. And if there ever were a bimbo governor, Gavin Newsom is the poster child. Newsom and his Leftist compadres continue to attempt to thwart Trump, as their worlds' burn around them. Consider that all world leaders met in Davos not that long ago, and all had made same mistakes: open borders, covid, vax mandates, digital ID, green energy, trans agenda. Mass Leftist hysteria or planned idiocy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Voting has begun in the opening phase of Myanmar's heavily restricted general election, the first since the military seized power nearly five years ago in a coup, an act that sparked civil war.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political reporters Ariela Karmel and Sam Sokol join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. After lawmakers on Wednesday voted in favor of a preliminary reading of a highly controversial bill to establish a politically appointed probe into the October 7, 2023, failures, rather than a state commission of inquiry, Sokol discusses the bill, created by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political allies to satisfy critics demanding an investigative commission but with membership that the governing coalition can control. Another one of Netanyahu's allies, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, infuriated the ultra-Orthodox parties in the coalition, reports Karmel, when he voted in favor of a civil marriage bill, further destabilizing the already shaky coalition. Karmel also discusses statements made by Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli, one of the first members of the prime minister's coalition to comment on the explosive allegations against Netanyahu in the Qatargate affair, in a major departure from the usual rhetoric of the Netanyahu government. Sokol wraps up the podcast with a report about a gathering of the English-speaking Haredi community in Ramat Beit Shemesh, as they attended an event run by leading rabbis about dodging the IDF draft. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Imam Mohammad Tawhidi breaks down the “72 virgins” narrative, explaining its historical, cultural, and symbolic context. He argues extremist interpretations exploit early societal realities, while Islam's core message remains ethics, piety, and moral responsibility, not fantasy rewards.

Today Eric discusses the controversial practice of gifting live Japanese koi for Christmas. While social media critics view the surprise as irresponsible, Triplett argues that meticulous preparation and expertise can transform it into a deeply meaningful experience. He highlights the importance of vetting the recipient's experience and the health of their existing pond to ensure the animals thrive long after the holiday. By sharing a story where he refused a sale to an ill-prepared customer, he emphasizes that true thoughtfulness must prioritize the well-being of the fish over the shock value of the gift. Ultimately, he frames the koi as a living legacy that requires discipline and responsibility, much like managing a successful business or using professional-grade tools.

Merry Christmas Eve from everyone at the Sean Spicer Show. Today we are replaying a conversation we had with Tim Parlatore. Tim is a Reserve Naval Jag Commander and has been an attorney for both President Trump and Pete Hegseth. It was earlier this week that President Trump introduced the new 'Trump Class' of Navy Warships, a massive upgrade to some of the tired, old and obsolete vessels the Navy currently has. President Trump has been saving American lives by taking out narco-terrorist drug boats at sea, but one strike in September caused a media frenzy drummed up by the Washington Post. Secretary of the Department of War, Pete Hegseth spoke about Operation Southern Spear and the efforts to defeat narco terrorists. Drugs coming in by sea are down by 91% as decisions are being made to strike down drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea. Highly Decorated 4 Star Admiral Bradley sent a second strike on a drug boat after the first strike was inefficient. The decision to strike the boat again was based on the cargo in the boat being retrieved by the cartels and resent to America, not the survivors of the strike. Tim Parlatore is a legal expert and a reserve Navy JAG Commander. He is here today to discuss how these operations are formulated through an extensive legal process combined with intelligence gathering. The decision to strike a boat is well-formulated and Admiral Bradley acted within the rules of engagement.

Irving Finkel is a scholar of ancient languages and a longtime curator at the British Museum, renowned for his expertise in Mesopotamian history and cuneiform writing. He specializes in reading and interpreting cuneiform inscriptions, including tablets from Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian contexts. He became widely known for studying a tablet with a Mesopotamian flood story that predates the biblical Noah narrative, which he presented in his book “The Ark Before Noah” and in a documentary that involved building a circular ark based on the tablet’s technical instructions.
