Gio calls Tom Brady's recent antics awkward and forced now that the quarterback has officially reached "cornball status." Next, Boomer questions Cam Skattebo's weekend backflip injury and future NFL longevity, leading into a chat about aging singers and the forgotten date of Boomer's upcoming Radio Hall of Fame induction. Jerry's update delivers the international call of the lone World Cup Final goal—amidst analyst complaints about the match and Gio's disappointment that the Muppets performed instead of Dua Lipa—before breaking down Max Muncy's home run off Gerrit Cole. Finally, a caller brings up a hothead golfer who was once fined for farting, prompting Gio to claim that Boomer doesn't always own his own.

In this segment, host Tara Servatius addresses listener texts questioning why Democrats do not face criticism for past foreign interventions or demand the extradition of anti-American terrorists to international courts. Servatius severely critiques the foreign policy approach taken by JD Vance regarding Iran, arguing that the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and lifting of blockades allowed the Iranian regime to rearm with Chinese components, directly leading to recent American service member casualties. Drawing parallels to past military operations under President Barack Obama in Libya, she argues that attempts to normalize or permit missile capabilities for hostile nations jeopardize U.S. troops and undermine national security.

On the July 20, 2026 edition of The Tara Show, host Tara Servatius breaks down key national security debates and political commentary. She examines Secretary of State Marco Rubio's forceful rejection of International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction, contrasting his defense of U.S. sovereignty with progressive efforts to enforce international warrants against foreign leaders and domestic officials. Servatius also offers a sharp critique of foreign policy decisions under the Trump administration, specifically pointing to JD Vance's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran, which she argues enabled the regime to rearm and directly led to recent U.S. service member casualties in the Middle East. After sharing a reflective quote from Senator Lindsey Graham on the tendency of political figures to overestimate their competition, the broadcast addresses domestic enforcement measures, highlighting Stephen Miller's announcement of a Trump administration plan to strip undocumented immigrants of access to the American banking system as a catalyst for self-deportation.

Just got back from several weeks on the road. the studio is a mess. the dog has to get a tooth pulled that she broke on the road trip, but it was great to see family. All that is to say that things are crazy here at the old studio. but that doesn’t mean we don’t to the podcast. So, in this week's episode of The Perceptive Photographer, I dig into two big ideas that can impact your photography: who you invite to critique your work, and what it really means to “see” as a photographer. I have heard this a few times over the past few months so I wanted to talk a little about it this week. That idea is the belief that feedback should come exclusively from those within the same genre. For example, landscape photographers often seek critiques from fellow landscape artists. However, this approach can be limiting. If someone already shares your knowledge and perspective, they may not offer fresh insights. Seeking feedback from diverse art forms can unlock new ideas and perspectives that challenge your usual way of seeing. Consider, too, those who might not even identify as photographers. Legendary photo editors and publishers often lack a formal photography background yet possess a keen understanding of what makes an impactful image and more than photographers can they are amazing at recognizing the nuances of light, composition, and storytelling. Critiques can be incredibly valuable when they focus on the essence of what resonates in an image rather than genre-specific “guidelines” or “rules”. The second thing I wanted to talk about was how we approach and talk about the act of “seeing” in photography. for many of us, our initial feelings about an image in the field differ from how we perceive it in post-editing or years later. Seeing isn't just a one-time event. Seeing is actually an action. It’s something we do. It’s something we engage with. It’s not a passive response. “Photography is about seeing. And to be a good photographer, we need to be engaged in the act of seeing.”

L'Agence internationale de l'énergie pointe dans son rapport annuel, publié en fin de semaine dernière, les tensions sur la disponibilité des minéraux critiques et une hausse importante des prix de certains d'entre eux. Le continent africain est évidemment un acteur central dans cette compétition mondiale et tente de tirer son épingle du jeu par différents moyens. Il y a d'abord le levier de l'offre et les répercussions sur les prix. L'année 2025 a été marquée par une hausse des cours d'un grand nombre de ces métaux critiques. « Les prix des métaux de base tels que l'aluminium, le cuivre et l'étain ont augmenté d'un tiers entre janvier 2025 et avril 2026, avec des cours du cuivre qui ont atteint des sommets. Les prix des matériaux destinés aux batteries se sont également redressés après une baisse en 2023 et 2024 », détaille Tim Gould, l'économiste en chef de l'Agence internationale de l'énergie. Le conflit au Moyen-Orient est en cause, mais pas seulement : « Les prix du lithium ont plus que doublé, tandis que ceux du cobalt ont augmenté d'environ 130%, en grande partie en raison des restrictions à l'exportation imposées par la République démocratique du Congo. » Après avoir suspendu les exportations de cobalt, la RDC a remplacé l'interdiction par un système de quotas. Kinshasa n'est pas le seul producteur africain à jouer sur ce levier. Tim Gould lors d'une présentation du rapport : « Ce que vous voyez actuellement à l'écran, c'est une forte augmentation du nombre de restrictions commerciales. Désormais, il ne s'agit plus seulement de la Chine. D'autres pays ont également mis en place de nouvelles restrictions, notamment le quota d'exportation de cobalt imposé par la RDC, que j'ai déjà mentionné, ainsi que les restrictions commerciales imposées par le Zimbabwe sur le lithium, par le Mozambique sur le graphite. » Madagascar mise sur son graphite Si l'AIE note une baisse des dépenses dans l'exploration minière, certains pays profitent néanmoins de l'engouement pour certains minerais. Au début de l'année, Madagascar a levé son moratoire sur les permis miniers, rouvrant la porte aux investisseurs. Une aubaine, notamment dans le domaine du graphite dominé actuellement par la Chine. « Les pays occidentaux, on va dire, que ce soit des Européens ou des Canadiens, ou des Américains ou des Australiens, sont à la recherche de ressources en graphite. Et il se trouve qu'il y en a à Madagascar. Ce qui permettrait in fine d'acquérir une certaine indépendance vis-à-vis de la Chine », remet en contexte Jean-Jacques Young, consultant minier et fin connaisseur de l'île. Et Madagascar, qui dispose de l'une des trois plus grosses réserves mondiales de graphite, a sa partition à jouer. « Madagascar a une position très privilégiée dans le secteur du graphite, parce que les réserves sont importantes. Elles sont réparties sur plusieurs territoires dans le pays. Donc oui, effectivement, il y a un certain nombre d'investisseurs qui développent aujourd'hui des projets de mine de graphite. C'est tout à fait exact », confirme l'expert.  Les États du continent restent cependant largement tributaires d'investissements extérieurs, du manque d'infrastructure énergétiques. Dans un moyen terme beaucoup misent sur la transformation locale pour améliorer encore plus le profit tiré de leur sous-sol.

During the third hour of the broadcast, host Charlie James updates listeners on South Carolina's shifting political landscape following the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. While initially expected to act solely as an interim caretaker until January, Darlene Graham—who has formally dropped "Nordone" from her name—is now heavily considering a run for her late brother's full six-year seat. This potential campaign gained significant momentum after President Donald Trump issued an official endorsement for her via Truth Social, dramatically shifting the field for the upcoming special primary election. James additionally breaks down a controversial local housing recall impacting Taco Bell and strongly condemns Representative Davy Hiott for quietly killing a bipartisan bill that would have legalized over-the-counter Ivermectin, pointing out a blatant conflict of interest involving Hiott's son's role as a pharmaceutical lobbyist. He concludes the hour by warning listeners that conservative values are responsible for building thriving municipalities, contrasting them with progressive housing policies under figures like New York's Zohran Mamdani that systematically undermine private property and accelerate civic decay.

Indispensables à des pans entiers de l'économie mondiale, les cours des minéraux critiques ont bondi en 2025 et en cette première moitié de l'année, met en avant dans son rapport publié ce jeudi l'Agence internationale de l'énergie. Les prix du lithium ont doublé, les prix ont augmenté de +130 % pour le cobalt. Pourtant, le continent africain, qui possède près d'un tiers des réserves mondiales, profite peu de cette manne financière. Pour plus de revenus, les autorités africaines souhaitent plus de transformation locale. De notre correspondant à Abidjan, Le lithium, le cobalt, le cuivre ou encore le graphite sont devenus les matières premières les plus convoitées de la transition énergétique. Le continent africain concentre près de 30% des réserves mondiales de minéraux critiques, pour une valeur estimée à environ 29 500 milliards de dollars. Pourtant, la majeure partie de ces minerais quitte encore l'Afrique sans être transformée. Ce qui représente un manque à gagner pour le continent, explique le docteur Albert Kouadio, spécialiste des mines extractives : « Lorsqu'un pays donne des permis de recherche à des entreprises étrangères à l'extraction, au mieux, il a un retour de 10%. Le cœur des industries, ce sont les minéraux. Si l'Afrique veut être développée, on doit chercher des stratégies pour préserver notre sous-sol. » L'enjeu dépasse le simple raffinage. L'ambition est de fabriquer sur le continent des composants, voire des produits finis. Une manière de créer davantage d'emplois, de développer une industrie locale et de capter une plus grande part de la richesse générée par ces ressources. « Il ne faut pas s'arrêter aux premières transformations. Ce n'est pas qu'une question de raffinage et de process. Il faut aussi aller en aval des chaînes de valeur. Ça veut dire transformer soi-même, capter les primes d'aval. Cela veut dire les primes de marque, les primes de distribution », estime Othman El Ferdaous, l'ambassadeur du Maroc en Côte d'Ivoire. Énergie et coopération Mais cette ambition ne pourra se concrétiser sans une énergie abondante, fiable et à un coût compétitif. Car raffiner les minerais, fabriquer des composants ou assembler des batteries sont des activités très gourmandes en électricité. Pour le diplomate marocain, l'un des préalables à cette industrialisation passe par le renforcement des infrastructures énergétiques à l'échelle du continent. « Il y a un projet continental, le gazoduc africain atlantique qui réunira le Nigeria au Maroc puis vers l'Europe. C'est très important parce qu'il va desservir plus d'une dizaine de pays, souligne encore le diplomate. Et tous ces pays côtiers vont pouvoir avoir du gaz africain pour transformer avec des centrales de cycle combiné et produire de l'électricité industrielle compétitive. » La Côte d'Ivoire, qui a récemment accueilli un forum sur le sujet, entend se positionner sur cette nouvelle chaîne de valeur. Moins en vue sur la question, le pays dispose cependant lui aussi des minéraux critiques dans son sous-sol, principalement dans sa moitié ouest. Mais pour transformer ces ressources et bâtir une véritable industrie africaine, aucun pays ne pourra agir seul, estime le ministre ivoirien des Mines, du Pétrole et de l'Énergie. « Pour un minerai critique donné, il y a tel nombre de pays qui pourraient se mettre ensemble pour l'exploitation et il y a d'autres pays qui pourraient venir pour la transformation du semi-fini avant qu'on aborde le marché international », argumente Mamadou Sangafowa Coulibaly. Pour y parvenir, encore faut-il mobiliser les financements. Le président de la Banque africaine de développement, Sidi Ould Tah, assure que l'institution accompagnera le développement de chaînes de valeur régionales.

During the third hour of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James addresses critical national and state political issues with an active call-in audience. The program highlights the House passing a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, leading to a vibrant phone discussion where a caller notes that changing the clocks does not physical alter the sun's movement. The focus then shifts to the ongoing South Carolina budget standoff, where the House's push for local earmarks conflicts with the Senate's fiscal conservatism. James and his callers heavily criticize establishment politicians, drawing attention to an intense confrontation where Senator Tom Tillis defended a corporate construction and labor lobby over the guidelines of the Save America Act. Finally, the program concludes with an enthusiastic proposal from South Carolina voters suggesting that the House should re-introduce and rename the Save America Act to honor the late Senator Lindsey Graham, dares local lawmakers to oppose it.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is out with a new book that includes critiques of the second Trump administration and the populist right.

Host Charlie James shares his frustration with modern network television and Hollywood previews, describing the upcoming entertainment lineup as absolute garbage. He singles out an upcoming film adaptation of The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan, predicting it will be filled with "woke BS," and notes the casting of Elliot Page as a sign of this cultural shift. In contrast to Hollywood's offerings, James highly recommends alternative, substantive educational resources, pointing listeners to a free 12-section online course on The Odyssey offered by Hillsdale College. He also praises Ralston College in Savannah, Georgia, as an excellent, deeply conservative higher education option for families seeking an alternative to mainstream academic indoctrination.

During this hour of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James delivers a broadcast addressing prominent cultural, local, and national topics. He begins by reviewing alternative educational resources designed to counter prevailing Hollywood tropes, paired with a sharp critique of entertainment media's modern presentations. The program then focuses on regional activism as guest Jason Isaac discusses local data center protests and examines the hidden influence of foreign funding on these movements. Finally, U.S. Representative William Timmons joins the program to deliver a heartfelt tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham and provide a critical analysis of the Democratic Socialists of America's (DSA) platform.

Lindsey Graham is dead, Iran is escalating again, and Washington's war machine is already searching for its next mission. Then a socialist YouTube comment gives us the perfect case against blaming free markets for government-created failures. Nate and Charlie examine Lindsey Graham's interventionist foreign-policy legacy, Donald Trump's account of their final phone call, and the renewed conflict surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. They also wrestle with the uncomfortable morality of feeling relieved when a powerful politician you strongly opposed is no longer in office. The second half breaks down capitalism, cronyism, housing regulations, healthcare bureaucracy, insurance markets, grocery pricing, monetary policy, and the Federal Reserve.

In this opening segment of the fourth hour, host Charlie James moderates a series of discussions reflecting the political shifts after Senator Lindsey Graham's passing. State Senator Lee Bright emphasizes that South Carolina needs a true conservative contest rather than a party coronation, pointing out the absolute irony that the newly scheduled August 11th special federal primary will land on the exact date state lawmakers previously claimed was too expensive to open for redistricting votes. Following Bright, businessman Mark Lynch officially announces his candidacy for the vacant Senate seat on the program. Lynch, who previously secured second place behind Graham in the regular primary on an "America First" platform, shares that he felt obligated to honor his base of conservative grassroots supporters. The segment concludes with Charlie James breaking down the newly fast-tracked special primary timeline, noting that early voting will be compressed into a three-day window ahead of the August vote.

Send us Fan MailSesason 4: The New EarthEpisode Summary"The Law of Mother" is a call to spiritual awakening and planetary transition. The episode argues that humanity has severely damaged its connection to the sacred "Divine Feminine" or "Mother" frequency through systemic cruelty, institutional deception, and technological manipulation. However, it declares that the Mother force has risen to dismantle these corrupted "3D matrix" systems, inviting humanity to elevate its vibration, transcend to a 5D consciousness, and co-create a "New Earth."Key Themes & Takeaways1. The Power and Definition of "Mother"A Cosmic Frequency: "Mother" is defined not as a gender, but as Shakti—the fierce, manifestation power and innate intelligence of creation.Inclusivity of the Divine Feminine: Quoting Amelia Singanewsong, the transcript notes that the Goddess Mother is carried not just by women, but also by men who embody spiritual depth, emotional intelligence, and conscious creation.The Rise of Fierce Power: Represented by the force of Kali, the Mother is depicted as actively destroying the false structures, lies, and systems of enslavement built by "dark forces," guaranteeing an ultimate spiritual victory.2. Critiques of Modern Society (The "Damaged Truth")The transcript highlights three primary areas where humanity has allegedly strayed from cosmic truth:The Animal-Industrial Complex: Criticizes the global slaughter of over 100 billion land animals annually for food, highlighting a hypocrisy in how society protects pets while ignoring the mass termination of livestock.The Industrial Pharma/Medical Complex: Accuses the pharmaceutical industry of weaponizing normal human emotions and rhythms by labeling them as pathologies, claiming it functions as a "chemical warfare" that causes massive loss of life and disconnects the brain from cosmic intelligence.The 3D Matrix & Ideology: Argues that the current societal simulation floods the environment with electromagnetic pollution, low-vibrational triggers (fear/anxiety), and false ideologies—specifically citing gender-affirming medical interventions on minors as a symptom of a detached and institutionalized system.3. The Cosmic Shift and Galactic AlignmentEarth's Cleansing: Mentions physical and cosmic shifts, including the planetary trajectory of a second Earth planet, causing deep self-cleansing on Earth.Transition to 5D: Humanity is urged to shed lower-ego vibrations and immediately transcend to a 5D frequency to build the "New Earth," where human sentiency and the "Law of Mother" will be permanently safeguarded.Galactic Perspective: Features a quote from Commander Ashtar Sheran of the Galactic Federation Fleet, emphasizing that being human requires conscious participation, the exercise of free will, and choosing influences of love, courage, and wisdom over fear and manipulation.Final MessageThe episode concludes with an urgent spiritual directive: humanity must clear its lens of truth, choose love over survival-based fears, align with the "Christos frequency," and fulfill a perennial vow to never again take life, the human heart, or the Earth for granted.Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity.

In this final hour of the broadcast, guest host Ryan Recker invites listeners to tune in and text their opinions regarding a highly debated list recently published by The Hollywood Reporter. The publication compiled a selection of 25 films intended to capture the "essential traits" and "messy contradictions" of the American spirit for an outsider who has never heard of the country. Recker systematically reviews the choices—which range from classics like The Godfather and The American President to unexpected additions like Fast & Furious 7 and The Incredibles—openly criticizing the selection process and sparking a lively debate with listeners in the newsroom. Ultimately, Recker dismisses the majority of the publication's list, offering his own definitive choice, the 1993 coming-of-age sports comedy The Sandlot, as the movie that best embodies the true, nostalgic essence of America.

On The Tara Show, host Ryan Rucker breaks down a list from The Hollywood Reporter featuring 25 movies meant to define the "essence of America." Rucker heavily criticizes several of the choices—such as Fast & Furious 7 and The Godfather—arguing that they fail to capture the true American spirit. After opening up the text lines, listeners call and write in to share their own defining films, pitching classics like The Sandlot, Forrest Gump, Moneyball, The Natural, and It's a Wonderful Life. The segment wraps up with Rucker and his guest, attorney Brad Young, pivoting to discuss recent major Supreme Court decisions, before concluding with a patriotic reflection on the privileges of being an American citizen ahead of the Fourth of July weekend.

In this segment, Tara details what she views as a drastic and alarming ideological shift within the Democratic Party. She cites Gallup polling data comparing 2005 to the present day, noting that while Republican pride in being American has remained steady at nearly 90%, Democratic pride has plummeted from 85% down to just 29%. Tara and her co-host Lee heavily criticize this shift, pointing to data showing a growing preference for socialism over capitalism among Democrats. She expresses disbelief at how mainstream figures, including Vice President Kamala Harris, are now interacting with or seeking endorsements from far-left figures like democratic socialist lawmakers and activist leaders who openly state that their ultimate goal is communism. Tara and Lee frame this trend not as a harmless evolution of ideas, but as a dangerous embrace of historically destructive ideologies that they argue the mainstream media and party leaders are casually dismissing.
