For months, sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln remained at sea as their expected return home was pushed further and further back. Their families watched graduations, weddings and other milestones pass without them, while hearing accounts of supply shortages, broken facilities and difficult conditions aboard the carrier. Now, as the Lincoln finally begins its return, USA TODAY Investigative Reporter Chris Quintana joins The Excerpt to explain what families say sailors endured, what the Navy has said in response and why lawmakers are questioning whether the military is prepared to support crews through deployments this long.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

I'm working on a book about my Afghanistan deployment, and going back through my old mission logs and journals turned up some memories I haven't talked about publicly before. In this episode I run through nine of the weirdest, most random things I still remember from that time, from eating what I'm pretty sure was dog meat in Thailand to watching a herd of goats get wiped out because they wandered too close to a jumpy ally unit. It's not the kind of deployment content you'd expect, but it's honest, and it's part of why I'm writing this book in the first place.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com
Multiple sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have reportedly attempted to jump overboard amid severe mental stress, food shortages, and inadequate basic supplies after more than 250 consecutive days at sea. In this segment Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight allegations from sailors and their families about deteriorating conditions across multiple Navy and Marine Corps ships, including shortages of fresh food, toiletries, laundry facilities, and other necessities. The two also contrast those conditions with Pentagon spending, including millions of dollars on lobster, ribeye steaks, king crab, and other expenses under the military's "use it or lose it" budgeting practice. The commentary argues that the disparity reflects serious leadership and resource-allocation problems within the U.S. military, particularly as service members endure unusually long deployments. Plus segments on Bibi Netanyahu revealing that Israel's war is with Christianity and the West, TPUSA Pastor Rob McCoy caught lying about the rooftop shooter and recent reports of San Francisco cops' outrageous salaries. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! Plus a phone call from James Carville!

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) hosts Aerolamp CEO Misha Gurevich and Chief Scientist Vivian Belenky, a Columbia University researcher, for a Complex Systems conversation about far-UVC germicidal light at roughly 222 nanometers. Belenky explains why this wavelength can inactivate airborne pathogens while being absorbed by the dead outer layer of human skin, and why room-scale deployments may function like an extremely strong air purifier. The guests argue that the biggest barriers are awareness and adoption rather than cost or basic science, with fixtures around $500 and straightforward installation. The stakes are concentrated in schools, transport hubs, long-term care, and future respiratory pandemics, where making clean shared air into ordinary infrastructure could sharply reduce transmission.

A Military Times investigation reports that multiple sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln have either attempted or reportedly prepared to go overboard during the ship's unusually long deployment, according to family members and other reports cited by the publication. The allegations have intensified concerns about crew mental health, fatigue, and morale. A federal judge held a hearing on August 13, 2026, demanding that the Department of Justice (DOJ) provide a more detailed explanation for why portions of the Jeffrey Epstein files remain redacted or withheld from the public. The hearing stems from a lawsuit filed by independent journalist Katie Phang, who argues the DOJ has not fully complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

A disturbing report is coming from the USS Abraham Lincoln, now in its 9 month of deployment in the Middle East. Family members are demanding answers and action from the U.S. military after hearing from their loved ones that either they have attempted to jump overboard or have stopped other service members from doing so in recent weeks. There are reports of deteriorating conditions, from lack of food and hygiene supplies, to no hot water aboard the aircraft carrier, but this biggest issue is the delayed and open ended deployment that was supposed to end back in May. The Navy has denied there is an increase in reported suicidal ideation and that while supply hubs have been disrupted by combat, sailors aboard the ship have plenty of supplies and mental health support.

In today's Cloud Wars AI Minute, I break down the rapid rise of forward deployment engineering and why getting AI into production is becoming the next competitive advantage. Highlights 00:10 — Today, the topic is going to be why we're seeing AI move to forward deployment engineering type of scenarios, and this industry trend has actually increased in just year-over-year growth of forward deployment engineering job postings in just the first half of 2026, increasing by 1,000%. 01:29 — You actually have to get to deployment, and the big problem there is that between 88 to 95% of all AI pilots that are being built today are actually never actually getting to production. So we have a whole lot of interest in the market and a lot of stuff that's being really cool and is being done, but we're not actually seeing it get to production. Hence the need for FDE, or forward deployment engineers. 02:04 — Two, you actually have embedded engineers to go help a client to be able to get up and get going. And just to give you guys a typical situation here, now we're starting to see a lot of the pay for these type of roles. They're getting very, very valuable in this market space. 03:04 — So this is a major, major shift in what we're seeing, and it's also why even in DCI and our training offering, I'm looking at building out how to be able to move toward an FDE-type approach engagement, specifically for partners, because you're gonna really have to think about how you move to AI being able to get about 99% code coverage in order to be able to play in this space and be able to have fixed-fee, high-quality implementations that actually drive into production implementations.

At-Large D.C. Councilmember Christina Henderson speaks to WAMU about the anniversary of President Trump's federal troop surge and how a year of National Guard presence is shaping city politics.
This hour, Scoot continues his conversation about old New Orleans buildings that were demolished. President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to overhaul the federal childhood vaccination schedule, reducing universally recommended immunizations from 18 diseases down to 11 and proposing that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine be split into three separate shots. The administration frames the policy as a "gold standard" approach meant to provide parents with flexibility and bring the U.S. into alignment with peer European nations. However, the move has drawn intense criticism from global health agencies, medical groups, and political figures who warn that dismantling combined vaccines goes against decades of established medical evidence and could exacerbate ongoing disease outbreaks. The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) is currently facing intense congressional scrutiny over a severe mental health and supply crisis among its 5,000 crew members. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has set a modern-day record during the ongoing conflict with Iran, marking over 260 consecutive days at sea with almost no port stops. In response to the growing crisis, the military is preparing to send the USS George Washington (or alternatively the USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group) to the Arabian Sea to replace the carrier. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is stepping down from her position at the end of August 2026 to spend more time with her young family. President Donald Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, noting that she will transition into a role as one of his top outside advisors and remain an influential voice within the Republican Party.

Are you treating cash as the reward you get from your business, or as the tool that fuels everything you want to build? The difference between an entrepreneur and a true CEO is understanding that capital isn't just something you accumulate. It's something you strategically deploy. In this final episode of the Capital Is a Verb series, Eleanor breaks down the third movement of the Jewel Capital Framework: deploying capital. She explains the three buckets where capital should go, why sophisticated operators think differently about cash, and how intentional deployment can turn your business from a source of income into an asset that creates transferable wealth.

Most AI deployment initiatives don't fail because of the technology. They fail because CEOs start in the wrong place. AI is transforming business, but buying the latest tool won't create better results on its own. In this episode, Jim Schleckser talks with Christa Hill, Chief AI Learning Officer at Learnit, about why successful AI deployment begins with solving real business problems, preparing your team, and building the right mindset before choosing a single platform. By listening to this episode, you'll learn how to: Discover why successful AI deployment starts with identifying business challenges instead of chasing the newest AI tools. Learn how to prepare your organization for AI by improving workflows, training employees, and creating sustainable adoption. Understand the common mistakes CEOs make during AI deployment and how to avoid wasted investments while achieving meaningful business results. Listen now to learn the AI deployment strategies that help organizations move beyond the hype, solve real business problems, and build a competitive advantage with AI. Check out: 05:15 | Stop Chasing AI Tools and Start Solving Business Problems Christa Hill explains why successful AI deployment doesn't begin with the latest software. It starts by identifying the biggest challenges in your business and letting those problems determine which AI solutions you actually need. 19:45 | Why Most AI Deployments Fail Before They Begin One of the episode's biggest insights is that organizations often automate broken processes. Christa explains why mapping and improving workflows before introducing AI dramatically increases the chances of a successful AI deployment. 40:30 | Building an AI-Ready Workforce As AI reshapes the workplace, Christa shares how CEOs should think about hiring, training, and developing employees who can use AI as a thinking partner rather than simply another software tool. About Christa Hill Christa Hill helps serious leaders think, decide, and lead well in an AI-shaped world. She is the Chief AI Learning Officer at Learnit, where she leads the design of AI education delivered to organizations across North America, and the CEO of Tacit Edge North America, where she builds AI literacy programs for CEOs, executives, boards, and the operators who run their companies. A product leader and educator with more than 20 years across banking and tech, Christa has educated thousands of professionals and is the author and facilitator of more than 20 programs delivered around the world. Her work centers on a simple conviction: AI leadership is not about tools; it is about judgment, and the leaders who build that judgment now will set the pace for everyone else. Christa will take the stage as keynote speaker at The CEO Project Summit in Dallas in February.
In this episode, Colonel Tiffany Bilderback joins MWI's Charlie Faint to discuss a career defined by coalition building, strategic leadership, and service alongside partner forces from countries like Germany, Iraq, South Korea, and Ukraine. She also describes working in the special operations community and at the Pentagon, and providing military medical assistance to the COVID-19 national response. The bulk of the episode focuses on her time as the J5, or joint plans officer, for Security Assistance Group–Ukraine. Drawing on experiences advising Iraqi forces, supporting whole-of-government pandemic operations, commanding a multifunctional medical battalion, and helping develop Ukraine's corps-level command structure during an active armed conflict, Tiffany reflects on the importance of humility, empathy, professional military education, and building trust with allies. She shares firsthand observations of Ukrainian resilience, explains why leader development remains essential even in the midst of combat, and offers practical leadership lessons on accountability, lifelong learning, and choosing opportunities that open more doors than they close.

Sanjit Biswas runs what may be the largest AI deployment in the physical world — and almost nobody in AI talks about it. Samsara (NYSE: IOT), the ~$20B company he co-founded after selling Meraki to Cisco for $1.2B, puts AI on millions of trucks, cranes, and industrial assets: 25 trillion data points a year, 99% of US roads driven every single day, ~$2B in ARR growing 30% profitably. In this episode we go through the entire physical AI stack — asset tags you can run over with a truck, a paper-thin disposable tracking label, engine fault codes, and dash cams running inference at the edge — then into agents, including the Agent Studio warranty agent that compresses an hour of human work into under a minute. We also get into the uncomfortable part (when AI watches you drive all day, is that coaching or surveillance — and why drivers actually want the cameras), mixed fleets of humans and robots, why autonomous trucking will take far longer than robotaxis, and a startling stat from the field: one utility building 3x more grid capacity in the next five years than it did in the previous 125, with 90% of that demand coming from data centers.(00:00) Intro: The biggest AI deployment nobody talks about(01:16) What is physical AI?(03:04) From IoT dashboards to agentic action(04:36) Why physical AI is harder than software AI(06:07) Safety, cybersecurity, and real-world consequences(07:11) What Samsara does(08:22) $2B ARR, 25 trillion data points, and 380,000 crashes(09:44) How AI can prevent road accidents(11:28) From an MIT research project to Meraki(13:42) Learning physical operations from scratch(15:42) Samsara's stack: sensors, intelligence, and action(16:39) Inside Samsara's industrial asset trackers(18:36) Bluetooth, battery life, and connected infrastructure(19:49) A disposable tracking device built like a sticker(21:08) Vehicle gateways and engine diagnostics(22:16) How AI dash cams coach drivers in real time(23:28) Turning the dash cam into an AI interface(24:49) Organizing physical-world data in the cloud(26:32) Selling AI to traditional industries(27:52) Is Samsara's real-world data its AI moat?(29:22) The network effects of covering 99% of U.S. roads(31:23) Edge AI versus cloud AI(32:35) The models running inside Samsara's devices(33:52) Generative AI and video reasoning(35:57) Which AI models does Samsara use?(36:50) Inside Samsara Agent Studio(37:56) How an AI warranty agent works(38:50) Starting with practical, lower-risk automation(40:10) Combining agents, workflows, rules, and guardrails(42:07) What today's AI agents still cannot do(43:07) AI ride-alongs and the future of driver coaching(45:17) Is workplace AI becoming Big Brother?(46:27) How cameras can protect and exonerate drivers(48:48) When AI becomes the judge of your work(50:37) Robots, humanoids, and mixed human-machine fleets(53:19) Samsara's role in autonomous operations(54:50) How quickly will autonomous trucking arrive?(56:32) AI data centers and America's infrastructure boom(58:16) Should lawyers become plumbers?

One deployment. $87,000 into Roth accounts. Never taxed going in, never taxed coming out — and if you're 25, that grows to roughly $1.5 million by 60 without a dollar of federal income tax. In this solo episode, Spencer Reese breaks down the military mega backdoor Roth: the combat-zone strategy that lets you blow past the normal TSP limit using tax-exempt CZTE pay and the Roth in-plan conversions that became available in January 2026. He walks through the exact myPay percentages, the monthly conversion rhythm, and the mistakes that can lock you out of contributions or cost you the BRS match. Questions Answered What is the combat zone tax exclusion (CZTE), and who qualifies? What's the difference between traditional and Roth contributions? Which two limits make this strategy work — and why doesn't CZTE pay count against the elective deferral limit? How much extra TSP space does a combat zone deployment actually open up? What percentages should you set in myPay? What are the Roth in-plan conversion rules and restrictions? Why convert monthly instead of once at the end of the year? What happens to the taxable portion, and how do you pay those taxes? What if you're only deployed six months? Where do people screw this up? What should you change when you get home? Main Topics Covered The triple tax advantage of CZTE pay: tax-free in, tax-free growth, tax-free out 2026 limits: $24,500 elective deferral vs. the $72,000 annual additions limit Why tax-exempt combat zone pay only counts against the higher limit Worked example on $100,000 base pay: ~24–25% to Roth TSP, ~43% to traditional TSP Roth in-plan conversions — up to 26 per calendar year, $500 minimum, $500 must stay behind The pro rata rule and why monthly sweeps beat one December conversion Stacking Roth IRAs on top: $7,500 single / $15,000 married filing jointly Common mistakes: maxing the Roth TSP early and losing the BRS match, the 92% myPay cap that makes DFAS reject the whole transaction, and letting gains pile up before converting The six-month deployment version — still roughly $74,000 into Roth accounts Turning off the extra contributions once you're back home Deploying next year?
