It's slammer time for Bannon folks. With Congress voting to hold the former Trump Advisor and erstwhile style icon in criminal contempt, all eyes are on Justice for when they'll haul his ass into jail. Until then we're left to wonder if there'll be any punishment for any of these idiots including Donald Trump. For these answers and more Michael turns to Harry Litman, host of the Talking Feds podcast. Get ready to take notes there'll be a test later.

Dan Driscoll made history earlier this year when, at 38, he was sworn in as the youngest Army secretary in U.S. history. And he just made news again this week when he became the highest-level Trump administration official to visit Kyiv for the White House's secret peace talks in effort to end Russia's war on Ukraine. Driscoll joined high-level talks with Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as news broke about a potential peace deal on the horizon. Driscoll is a veteran of the Iraq War, and as a result, has felt the effects of Pentagon decisions firsthand. He's set out to reshape the U.S. Army and the Pentagon into an agile institution that can make better use of existing resources and channel the best practices of the private sector. “When you are creating defensive and offensive solutions, you have to think even 10 years out when the war really gets to its most catastrophic moment, ‘What are the very basic tools of warfare that can't be impacted by the enemy,” Driscoll said. In this week's episode of The Conversation, Driscoll sits down with POLITICO's Dasha Burns to delve into the future of warfare, his plans for reinvigorating the Army's technology and the innovation spurred by conflict. “I think the best guess is if the United States entered a conflict with a peer in a couple of years, it would be a hybrid war where nearly every human being on the battlefield would be empowered and enabled with a digital tool,” Driscoll said. “I think we believe every infantryman in the United States Army will carry a drone with them into battle.” CNN "NewsNight" host Abby Phillip also joined Dasha to chat about her new book, “A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power,” Jackson's influence on today's political landscape and Phillip's approach to her own roundtable show.

In late July 2023 Erin Patterson invited her former in-laws to lunch at her home in Leongatha, Australia. This gesture of hospitality was framed as a chance for them all to reconnect. Instead, it became the center of a case that shocked the world. Over night all 4 lunch guests became desperately ill. Rumors began to fly immediately, and investigators began piecing together a chain of events that no one in this small community could have imagined. In part one we'll examine the "who", "what" and "where" of this case, but you'll have to wait until part 2 for the "how" and "why"!

When the Maccabees celebrated the recapture of Jerusalem from the Macedonian emperor Antiochus IV, they lit a menorah in the city's holy temple. The date, in the ancient Hebrew calendar, was the twenty-fifth day of the third month of Kislev 3597… the first Hanukkah. Hanukkah's significance waned in some early Jewish texts due to the favourable portrayal of Romans in the Book of Maccabees, but gained prominence in the Diaspora during the late 19th century, as it offered a distinct celebration for Jews in Western societies during the festive season. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider whether the Maccabees were freedom fighters or religious fundamentalists; explain why donuts may have played a crucial role in the widespread adoption of Hanukkah; and recall Adam Sandler's totemic contribution to Hanukkah lore… Further Reading: • ‘The story of Hanukkah: how a minor Jewish holiday was remade in the image of Christmas' (The Conversation, 2019): https://theconversation.com/the-story-of-hanukkah-how-a-minor-jewish-holiday-was-remade-in-the-image-of-christmas-127620 • ‘Hanukkah: 20 Facts You Probably Didn't Know' (Entertainment Tonight, 2021): https://www.etonline.com/20-facts-you-probably-didnt-know-about-hanukkah-137874 ‘Saturday Night Live: Adam Sandler on Hanukkah' (NBC, 1994): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX5Z-HpHH9g This episode first aired in 2023 Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever wonder how “15 days to slow the spread” turned into more than two years of Zoom torture, kids in masks all day, and elite children getting private tutors while public-school families got crushed? Natalya Murakhver, a former Upper West Side progressive turned “Open Schools” mom, joins Bridget to discuss her new documentary 15 Days, a forensic analysis of what happened to children during school closures, including devastating learning loss, mental health crises, and inequality. And let's not forget teachers' unions weaponizing race, George Floyd protests magically being “safe” while 28 kids in a classroom weren't, key science being available and ignored, and the quiet radicalization of a generation left alone with glowing screens. Even though the topic will make your blood boil, it's important to remember what happened and not allow it to be memory holed. 15 Days preserves the voices of those who fought to reopen schools and serves as a historical record to protect future generations.

In a healthy relationship, conversations might be difficult at times—but they are possible. You can talk, clarify, repair, and understand each other. But when you're living with a covert narcissist, communication slowly becomes a maze you can never find your way out of. In this episode, I share how the most ordinary exchanges in my marriage became painful, confusing, and emotionally draining. It wasn't yelling. It wasn't name-calling. It wasn't dramatic fights. It was the quiet erosion that happened in the everyday moments—the misunderstandings, the defensiveness, the blank stares, and the “What difference does it make?” responses that left me feeling small, silenced, and alone. I take you inside what those conversations actually looked like, the internal conversations I had with myself, and how years of being unheard changed my sense of self. We'll look at why covert narcissists misinterpret even the gentlest words, how they turn connection into conflict, and how survivors slowly lose their voice without even realizing it. If you've ever walked away from a conversation thinking, How did we end up here? Why does nothing land right? Why do I feel more alone than before I spoke? — this episode was made for you. You are not imagining the confusion. You are not “too sensitive.”This is what communication looks like when someone listens through shame instead of empathy. And most importantly—you can reclaim your voice.

Did you know Amazon makes $37 billion a year—more than double the revenue of all the newspapers in the world combined—from its sponsored results alone? Yes, the same, spammy, sponsored results at the top of a search that bilk shoppers with fake or low-quality items and can starve legitimate businesses of traffic and revenue.This is one of the many insights shared by our guest this week, Tim Wu, in his new book, “The Age of Extraction: How Tech Platforms Conquered the Economy and Threaten Our Future Prosperity.” He argues that the defining story of the modern internet isn't openness or democratization, but rather wealth extraction: the ability of gatekeeping Big Tech platforms, such as Amazon, Facebook, or X, to take money from everyone else without actually providing net value in return. Platforms weaponize convenience, he writes, so switching to competitors or smaller platforms is designed to be exhausting. Add in AI technologies that foster emotional relationships with users, and our dependence on them may deepen even more.An author and professor at Columbia Law School, Wu served in the Biden administration as Special Assistant to the President for Technology and Competition Policy. He discusses with Bethany and Luigi why we should care about Big Tech value extraction and posits how Big Tech power arose in the first place: from centralized power to shareholder pressure, from poorly aligned corporate structures to nefarious intentions. Together, they also chart how we can make our way out of this era of extraction. They discuss the feasibility of treating Big Tech platforms like utilities, applying frameworks for structural separation between the platforms' various services, decentralizing digital network infrastructures through interoperability to allow users to switch more easily between different platforms, and how economic populism influences the political messaging around these issues. Ultimately, Wu makes the case for embracing a philosophy of decentralized capitalism to achieve a fairer and beneficial balance between public and private power. Read more from Tim Wu in ProMarket:The Consumer Welfare Standard is Too TaintedOver recent years, the antitrust law appears to be returning to its historical standard, the “competition and competitive process” standard, often referred to in the Supreme Court as the goal of “protecting competition.” In this post, Tim defends this trend for rule-of-law reasons and presents a realistic assessment of the legal system's capabilities and its limits.A Conversation with Tim WuA transcript of Tim Wu's keynote in conversation with Binyamin Appelbaum of The New York Times from the Stigler Center's annual Antitrust and Competition Conference archives.

China's rise is often framed as a geopolitical contest, but Kaiser Y Kuo, host of the Sinica Podcast, pushes us to confront something deeper: what if China's transformation exposes the West's blind spots about modernity, power, and progress itself? Jacob and Kaiser wrestle with uncomfortable parallels between America's Gilded Age and China's present, the myths we cling to about innovation and identity, and the way global narratives harden into self-soothing fictions. It's a challenge to rethink both China - and ourselves.--Referenced in the Show:Kaiser's "Great Reckoning" Article - https://www.theideasletter.org/essay/the-great-reckoning/Sinica Podcast - https://www.sinicapodcast.com/podcastThe China Project - https://thechinaproject.com/series/sinica/--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction (01:31) - Starting the Conversation with Kaiser Kuo(02:44) - Discussing 'The Great Reckoning' Essay(04:27) - China's Learning from the West(06:43) - Comparing Historical Growth: US and China(09:46) - Role of the State in China's Growth(12:01) - Innovation and Perceptions of China(20:09) - Environmental Consciousness in China(22:59) - China's Global Ambitions and Comparisons to the US(28:17) - The Current US-China Relationship(31:58) - Shifting American Perceptions of China(32:33) - Chinese Public Opinion on the U.S.(34:00) - G2 vs. Multipolar World(36:16) - Marxism in Modern China(40:56) - China's Economic Strategies(45:14) - Xi Jinping's Centralized Power(01:01:36) - China's Cultural Influence--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Hour 2 opens with Joe going off on the origins of NBA load management, pointing to Gregg Popovich and later Steve Kerr for normalizing the trend under the guise of “sports science” and player mileage. He blasts the modern reality where stars can't play back-to-backs, teams hide healthy scratches behind minor “injuries,” and paying families miss out on seeing players like Steph Curry. Then we shift to the “Spo and Mo Show,” highlighting Erik Spoelstra and Paul Maurice's strong work across South Florida sports, Kelel Ware's impressive play, and why the Heat should finish above .500. Joe also breaks down the Dolphins' chance to stack wins, driven by Devon Achane's offensive burst and Jordyn Brooks leading the NFL in tackles. Hollywood's Headlines wraps the hour with load-management talk, Cam Skattebo's WWE fallout, Kim Bokamper's wrestling past, Bill Belichick's viral appearance, and Steve Cohen's $12.1M gold toilet.

American Skyjacker (2025) is a true-crime action documentary that chronicles the story of Martin McNally, who in June 1972 hijacked an American Airlines Boeing 727, demanded $500,000 in ransom, and parachuted out of the back — modeling his crime after the infamous D.B. Cooper hijacking. McNally narrates the tale in his own words, with cinematic reenactments showing not just the hijacking but the manhunt, his prison escape attempts, and a later hijacking in 1978.Website / Screening Informationwww.americanskyjacker.comhttp://cinedump.com/Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/americanskyjackerRotten Tomatoeshttps://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/american_skyjackerLetterboxdhttps://letterboxd.com/film/american-skyjacker/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall explore the mindset behind growing a successful coaching practice. They argue that even the best systems, tools, and strategies won't help if a coach lacks the hunger, drive, and willingness to face discomfort. Drawing analogies from Chick-fil-A operators to church planting to personal sales experiences, Brian and Chad highlight that growth happens when you embrace the pain of doing hard, awkward things—like initiating conversations, facing rejection, and persisting through failure. Key Highlights Growth in your coaching practice starts with mindset, not methods or systems. Using Chick-fil-A operators as an example, Chad explains that success depends on people who bring energy, ownership, and drive—not just those who follow a system. Coaches often avoid the pain of outreach because of fear, overthinking, or perfectionism, but pain is the signal of what to do next. Mindset transformation includes shifting from avoidance to action: taking small, imperfect steps and learning from mistakes. The difference between stuck coaches and growing coaches often comes down to one thing—consistent conversations that build momentum. Takeaways Pain is the pathway. Don't avoid discomfort—lean into it. It's often the indicator of where you need to act. Conversations create clients. Websites and social media can't replace simply talking to people. Stop overthinking. Adopt a C-student mentality—take action, learn, adjust, and move forward. Fuel beats perfection. Motivation and movement matter more than having the perfect system. Failure strengthens you. Each awkward or unsuccessful attempt builds resilience and confidence for the next one.
As Pakistanis and Indians struggle with hazardous air quality, in Beijing – a city once notorious for its smog – the air quality is currently rated as good.Ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Chinese government was so concerned about pollution that it introduced temporary restrictions on cars, shut down factories and work on some construction sites. It would take a few more years before the Chinese government implemented a clean air action plan in 2013. Since then, China has achieved a dramatic improvement in its air quality.In this episode, we speak to Laura Wilcox, a professor at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science at the University of Reading in the UK, to understand how China managed to clean up its air pollution. But Wilcox's recent research uncovered some unintended consequences from this cleaner air for the global climate: the pollution was actually helping to cool the atmosphere and by taking it away, it may have accelerated global warming.This episode was produced by Mend Mariwany, Katie Flood and Gemma Ware.

Structure isn't a formatting exercise. It's the foundation of every clear, persuasive communication. Whether you're giving a presentation, writing an email, or leading a meeting, structure is the difference between an idea that gets ignored and an idea that creates action. In the latest episode of Conversations on Careers and Professional Life, we explore why structure matters so profoundly — and how leaders, students, and professionals can use it to communicate with more clarity and impact. Why Structure Matters Human beings aren't wired to process information in random fragments. We make sense of the world through stories — beginnings, middles, and ends. As you put it in the episode, we're not "data digesters"; we're storytellers. And when communication wanders, attention wanders with it. A clear structure reduces cognitive friction. It guides your audience through the idea. It shows respect for their time and sets you apart as someone who thinks and leads with intention. The Universal Arc: Beginning → Middle → End The classic story shape applies perfectly to business communication: Beginning: What's the point? Middle: Why does it matter? End: What should we do? In practice, this means starting with your main idea — the recommendation, insight, or conclusion — and only then walking people through the reasoning. This mirrors the Pyramid Principle, but it also aligns with how executives think: give me the destination first, then show me the path. A Simple Structure That Works Everywhere: What → So What → Now What You referenced Matt Abrahams' framework from Think Faster, Talk Smarter: What: The headline or central idea So What: The significance — why it matters Now What: The implication or action This structure keeps communication focused and future-oriented. It helps audiences quickly understand context, importance, and next steps. And when you use it, people stop interrupting with "What's your point?" because you've already answered it. Slide Structure: One Idea, One Message Every slide should tell a mini-story: A clear title that states the point, not a topic A single idea supported by one graph, chart, or set of bullets Visuals that reinforce your narrative rather than compete with it The slide is scaffolding — not the building. Your voice delivers the narrative; the slide supports it. Meeting Structure: Avoid the Rudderless Hour Unstructured meetings drift. Structured meetings decide. A simple three-bullet agenda can turn an hour-long discussion into a 20-minute decision. Before any meeting, ask: What's the goal? What's the sequence that gets us there? What decisions or actions do we need? Structure creates momentum, momentum creates clarity, and clarity creates action. Editing as Structural Discipline Editing is structuring. This is where Chekhov's Gun becomes a communication tool: remove anything that doesn't serve the message. Ask: If I cut this sentence, slide, or data point, does the meaning change? If not, remove it. Editing isn't erasing work — it's generosity. It gives your audience time and brings clarity. Remember the ABCs! A Simple Method for Structuring Anything Identify your main point. List two or three reasons that support it. Add only the evidence necessary to prove those reasons. Arrange it in a natural sequence — then cut everything else. It's deceptively simple, but rarely done well — and that's why it stands out. The Leadership Signal Ultimately, structure is more than communication mechanics. It's a leadership signal. Structured communicators show that they think clearly, respect their audience, and understand how decisions get made. The episode closes with a reminder worth repeating: Structure isn't just a communication tool. It's a mark of how you think. And it matters more than most people realize.
This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Ryan N. Schmit, Of Counsel with B&C, and Senior Regulatory Consultant with The Acta Group (Acta®).

Today I have the immense honor and privilege to speak with Ellen Schrecker, who has been referred to as “the dean of the anti-anti-Communist historians.” Well known for her classic studies of McCarthyism, today Schrecker explains how much worse Trump's regime is than what we saw in the 1950s and 60s. A fierce defender of democracy, Ellen explains the central role education plays in creating a public culture and in maintaining democracy. Our conversation takes many paths, including an indictment of Capitalism, of the dominance of economistic thinking and values, of the ways university leaders are bending a knee to Trump. We talk about the value of the humanities, the importance of autonomous forms of education and mutual support such as we saw in the pro-Palestinian encampments, and one of the most remarkable differences between the days of McCarthyism—the phenomenon of mass protests like #NoKingsDay. I know you will treasure this conversation as much as I do.Ellen Schrecker is an American historian known for her research on McCarthyism, political repression, and American higher education. Among her books are The Right to Learn: Resisting the Right-Wing War on Academic Freedom (2024) edited with Valerie C. Johnson and Jennifer Ruth, (2024) winner 2025 Frederick Ness Book Award. American Association of Colleges and Universities; The Lost Promise: American Universities in the 1960s (2021); Many Are the Crimes: McCarthyism in America (1998); and No Ivory Tower: McCarthyism and the Universities (1986).
