H.W. Brands, Part Two: As 1941 begins, the legislative battle over Lend-Lease (HR 1776) intensifies, which Lindberghargues favors British imperialism over democracy. Behind the scenes, British intelligence coordinates covert propaganda inside the U.S. to sway American public opinion. Lindbergh testifies before Congress, arguing that air power makes the Western Hemisphere highly defensible without entering European conflicts. However, Roosevelt's declaration of an unlimited national emergency shifts public sentiment, casting isolationists as disloyal. Desperate, Lindbergh delivers his infamous Des Moines speech, blaming the British, Jewish Americans, and the administration for pushing the nation toward war, destroying his political credibility.

What does it look like to build public health programs around what a community actually needs? In this episode of Plugged into Public Health, Lauren talks with Zuli Garcia, founder and president of Knock and Drop Iowa. The organization began in Zuli's garage during the COVID-19 pandemic as a culturally specific Latino food pantry and has since grown into a multicultural organization serving hundreds of Iowa households each week. Zuli shares why culturally appropriate food matters, how Knock and Drop Iowa grew from an emergency response into a nonprofit, and how food rescue and partnerships with local organizations help the pantry serve families across the Des Moines area. The conversation also explores Knock and Drop Iowa's expansion into health education and vaccine access. Zuli discusses how her own experience with cervical cancer influenced her work around HPV education, screening, vaccination, and patient advocacy, and why making health information convenient, understandable, and culturally responsive is critical. Throughout the episode, Zuli explains how Knock and Drop Iowa has built trust by listening to communities, partnering with trusted local leaders, and bringing resources into existing events and spaces rather than expecting people to come to them. It's a conversation about food insecurity, access to care, cultural responsiveness, community trust, and what it means to truly meet people where they are.

In this packed episode of the Live Fire Media Show we dive into horror movie gold with The Last Voyage of the Demeter—a solid Dracula story pulled straight from one iconic chapter of the novel that delivers real tension and atmosphere. We also discuss the up and coming released R-rated Director's Cut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe (dropped August 14), why Spider-Man 4 is looking promising, the buzz around The Odyssey streaming on X, and the disappointing news that an Alien: Romulus sequel is currently off the table. On the gear side: the Pulse Rifle mag well Gen 3 is 3D-printed and looking sharper than ever with more enhancements and details. Plus—Mini-14s are back and popping hard! The big highlight is our GOA GOALS trip to Des Moines. For me it felt just like Hunter's SHOT Show experience—seeing friends and then some. Hanging out with the AR-15 Podcast, Let's Go Hunt, AK47 Radio, and especially the Airbnb with We Like Shooting was easily the best part of GOALS.

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey turns the microphone around and becomes the subject, sitting down with Dan Snow to unpack the lessons behind a life built on discipline, learning, and quiet compounding. From selling satellite systems in Des Moines to losing everything he'd earned in a single month, Casey traces the moments that shaped his belief in economic self-reliance and lifelong education, formal or otherwise.The conversation moves through Casey's investment philosophy at Sandlot Partners, his take on specialization over well-roundedness, and the deals that taught him to bet on track record and trajectory. It closes on something deeper: faith, marriage, and the deliberate work behind a 22-year partnership with Chelsea Baugh.This is a conversation about growth as identity, not achievement. Entrepreneurs and leaders will walk away rethinking what it actually takes to build something, and someone, worth keeping.[00:00] Growing Together Or Growing Apart[00:55] Education Versus Hustle[02:45] Teaching Entrepreneurship At BYU[04:05] Dropping Out To Sell[06:00] The Dignity Of Self-Reliance[08:36] Losing It All In 2008[10:58] Committing To Lifelong Learning[12:55] The Accounting Insecurity[15:25] Strengths Over Well-Rounded[17:52] Coach Pope And Trajectory[21:28] What Makes A Great Founder[26:00] Character Versus Competency[28:00] Life Happening For You[41:53] Faith On The Periphery[47:22] What He Loves About Chelsea BaughThe information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers in America and around the world:The AI race between America and China isn't just about whose AI models are at the frontier or get adopted most widely. Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I am joined by Ryan Fedasiuk, a fellow at AEI and the author of the Substack Choosing Victory, where he focuses on US-China relations, technology, and national power. He's also an adjunct assistant professor at Georgetown University. Recently, Fedasiuk has written about the US-China AI race, and while much of the debate has focused on the models themselves, Fedasiuk is focused on the role of compute in shaping the global balance of power, which is also the subject of a new report, Voltcraft: Industrial Competition in the Age of AI.We discuss the speed at which AI capabilities are improving, the dimensions of the US-China AI race, and why Fedasiuk thinks compute will be central to that competition. We also discuss a global US strategy and, as AI abilities increase, what role the American government could play in ensuring safety.In This Episode:* How Fast Is AI Moving? (0:54)* The US-China AI Race (7:08)* The Future of the AI Industry (12:42)* The Compute Race (17:04)* Expanding US AI Infrastructure Abroad (22:05)* Geopolitics and National Security (25:10)A lightly edited transcript of our conversation will appear in my Week in Review issue on Saturday. (Another option is using the Substack auto transcript function.)But here are some edited highlights from the chat:On the pace of AI progress…At least according to definitions circa the late 2010s, we're living through what I would describe as a fast takeoff. We have, as far as I am concerned, artificial general intelligence capable of meeting the performance of human beings or exceeding it at most tasks. And I think that things are only likely to improve from here.On the US-China AI race…We are obviously living through this uncertainty. When Mythos was unveiled on April 6, I think it sent a real tremor through the Chinese national security apparatus and kind of a moment of, “What is this? What do the Americans have? What is this system capable of achieving? When can we produce our own?”On why compute is critical…The fact is that to make the most out of frontier AI and to run it at scale, you still need tons of devices that turn electricity into tokens. You still need tons of compute. And really, I think the name of the game is going to be who can build and install computational power around the world.On why America needs to export its compute…If compute is the substrate of the global intelligence economy, we want to make sure that it's US-designed compute that other countries are choosing to buy and install rather than compute manufactured in China.On who should get access to American compute…If we can expect the developer ecosystem in Singapore is going to take off like wildfire and start building and using a lot of AI applications, maybe we want to make sure that Singaporeans are building on American compute ASAP before China's compute becomes a viable alternative that could serve that market. Maybe we want to make sure that that market is served even before certain constituencies in Des Moines.On government intervention in frontier AI labs…I think that we are already seeing some shadow of this, even if it isn't declared. I think we will likely see a continued molding and merging of private sector capability with the resources and infrastructure of the national security enterprise.On sale everywhere: The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised This is a public episode.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Leo Spoto. We discuss: How Leo went from a Bronx apartment to owning 245 acres of Iowa timber and creek bottom. Why buying 100 acres near Albia at $1,850 an acre felt like overpaying back in 2013. The expired driver's license that stranded Leo at the Des Moines airport before his first showing. Why Chase Bank wouldn't touch a land loan and a local Iowa banker wrote it anyway. How Leo closed on his first farm with $30,000 down when the bank wanted closer to $40,000. The 1031 exchange that rolled two small farms into one 214-acre piece he bought sight unseen. How walnut timber checks and an Iowa operating account carried a $2,600 monthly payment. Why Leo would now rather buy a landlocked 30 with an easement than a farm with road frontage. The roughly 250% return Leo has seen on Iowa ground since his first purchase in 2013. Why point creep and four kids finally pushed Leo to list the entire farm this year. And so much more!

In Episode 25, GOALS: Rice Cracker Range Day, ARDREW, DAN, Gat Lab, and guest Dutch try to piece together their Des Moines trip. They linger on One Horse risking it all with factory forced-reset triggers, then get completely derailed by a West Virginia gunsmith who hands out rice crackers and builds a 6mm ARC that shoots tighter than their attention spans. Gat falls hard for the handmade Sea Spider suppressor so quiet that people kept talking through full magazines, while the rest of the crew bickers about empty tubes, crossbolt safeties, and every new can company claiming to have reinvented physics. A short, careful note about the recent NFA district-court ruling is quickly buried under media-day photos, vendor chats, and the usual awkward creator networking. By the end they're still baffled that ordinary shooters somehow walked away with media credentials and a PowerPoint full of range pictures.

The City of Des Moines is getting suggestions on what to do about its budget. Jury selection starts today in the trial of a man accused of killing a Native American woman over 40 years ago. And what do the candidates for governor think about privatized Medicaid?

Tawinee's Actual Factuals Family, Submarine and Bees by STAR 102.5/Des Moines

With 84 days to the midterms and a six-state primary night ahead, Chuck Todd and Chris Cillizza open on Chuck's least-hedged read of the cycle: Democrats haven't had a good summer, but Republicans have had a worse one, and every macro trend points to something in the neighborhood of 30 House seats and six or seven Senate seats. The only thing holding him back from calling it a pasting is the Democratic brand problem — and they dig into the polling behind it, including why Hillary Clinton's warning that the socialism-and-communism attack could land is worth taking seriously. That leads to the sharpest segment of the episode: whether Abdul El-Sayed needs to give a version of the Kennedy "I don't work for the Pope" or Obama race speech about being a Muslim American, why the traditional consultant advice to ignore it is wrong, and where he'd give it. They then flip the question to the other side, asking whether Josh Shapiro, Jon Ossoff, Rahm Emanuel, or JB Pritzker will face a parallel demand to publicly separate loyalty to the Constitution from loyalty to Israel. The back half is a clinic in reading political spin. Tim Scott's claim that Republicans will hold 54 Senate seats prompts a broader riff on why partisans now get punished for telling the truth, and why both the political industry and the media have built incentives against saying what's obvious. They break down AOC's remarkable weekend — announcing she's freezing her eggs, then telling Jon Karl she hasn't ruled out 2028 — and what it signals about staking a claim to the progressive lane before El-Sayed can. Chuck makes the case that parenthood is a real asset in presidential politics, and they assess whether Ossoff, now climbing the prediction markets, has the hunger and stamina for it, plus why Shapiro sometimes reads as a try-hard. They close with a genuinely angry exchange about Bill Cassidy's Blanche vote, the threats reshaping how senators vote, and a Nats-and-Reds baseball detour.

   H.W. Brands, Part Two: In 1941, the debate intensifies over the Lend-Lease Act, which Lindbergh argues supports British imperialism rather than democracy. Lindbergh testifies before Congress, asserting that air power makes the Western Hemisphere more defensible, contradicting Roosevelt's claims that technology has made America more vulnerable. Roosevelt declares an "unlimited national emergency," casting anti-interventionists as disloyal "copperheads" and "fifth columnists." The America First movement is effectively ruined following Lindbergh's Des Moines speech, in which he identifies "Jewish Americans" as a group pushing the U.S. toward war, leading to widespread accusations of anti-Semitism. The national debate ends abruptly with the attack on Pearl Harbor and Hitler's subsequent declaration of war. Although Roosevelt bars his chief critic from official military service, Lindbergh eventually flies combat missions surreptitiously as a civilian consultant in the Pacific. (2)v       

The Filthy Spoon crew recaps their trip to the Delta Waterfowl Expo 2026 in Des Moines: vendor highlights, standout custom calls, and the strong California presence.

He was in place for the recording of Slipknot's 1999 self-titled debut. In a 2022 interview with Kerrang!, Wilson said he was "heavy into the rave scene and learning to DJ" when he was growing up. That eventually led to partying "pretty hard." "If you see the amount (of energy) I put into a Slipknot live show, it's 100 percent, so just translate that into partying. Wilson notably broke both of his heels in 2008 after jumping onstage during the opening night of the Mayhem Festival tour. Outside of Slipknot, Wilson would continue to perform sets as DJ Starscream. He also started his own record label, Vomit Face Records, in 2025.” (Loudwire)

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or EDS, is a genetic connective tissue disorder that can affect nearly every system in the body.

Slipknot was the most extreme thing to come out of Iowa since taco pizza was invented there in 1974. Their sound was massive: nine masked members played with brutal force, propelling their fans, affectionally known as "maggots," to a cathartic release of destructive energy at every show. But when two teenage fans claimed that the band's songs inspired them to commit murder, the destructive energy Slipknot had so far controlled began to tear the band apart.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into Dr. Fauci's bizarre diary criticism of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that DeSantis takes as a 'badge of honor.' They also consider GOP concerns about low voter enthusiasm in key states heading into the midterms, intensifying demands from Kentucky's governor for proof that Sen. Mitch McConnell can still do his job, and whether a "sore loser" law could cause more upheaval in the Maine U.S. Senate race.First, they react to Anthony Fauci blasting Gov. DeSantis in August 2021 for blocking local mask mandates in schools. DeSantis was among the first governors to re-open their states in the spring of 2020, which also drew Fauci's ire. DeSantis was right both times and his victory lap is well-earned.Next, they grimace as personnel from the right-leaning Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) are reporting lackluster enthusiasm from reliable Republican voters in the Des Moines, Iowa, suburbs. They say the same is true in other battleground states. Inflation and the economy are the biggest reasons. Jim and Greg point out that there isn't much time to change their minds before Election Day.Then, they report on the latest proof-of-life photo and written statement from Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell. There is still no timetable for his return to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear says McConnell needs to offer a lot more proof of his ability to do the job or resign. Jim and Greg also explain how the calendar plays a big role in this standoff.Finally, they get a kick out of an effort to toss the new Maine Democratic Senate candidate off the ballot over "sore loser" laws. Troy Jackson lost the Democrat primary for governor before the party chose him to replace Graham Platner. Jim and Greg explain the laws and why the challenge probably won't succeed.Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet 15% off OneSkin Summer Bundles with promo code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3mlQuoMoney is on the line.

In this re-aired episode Margo is joined by art advisor, curator, and gallery owner Liz Lidgett. Liz's passion for art allowed her to see that competent art consulting for private companies and corporations was a need that wasn't being filled. With that in mind, she began her art consultation business, Adore Your Walls, in 2013. Since then, her business has grown and she recognized once again that online and national consulting – the type that exists for furniture and interior design – was completely absent for the world of art and has expanded her services, including a gallery space. With her developed expertise, Adore Your Walls has evolved into her new brand: Liz Lidgett Gallery + Design. Within the rebrand, Liz continues to consult, partner with artists and regularly contribute to design publications across the country. She represents 50 unique artists from around the world—with a commitment to always represent at least 50% women and/or BIPOC artists. Although her gallery is located in Des Moines, Iowa, they have an international reach, shipping 80% of the work they sell, and have sold to clients in 45 states and 7 countries.    It was important for Liz to create a gallery that operated in a way she felt galleries should operate, where artists were paid fairly and quickly, and where an approachable, non-pretentious experience is created for clients. Her mission is "Art For Everyone." Although they represent some very well-known artists like Hunt Slonem, Liz wants people to know that you don't have to be a millionaire to be an art collector. Liz has gained a huge following on social media by showcasing the art in her gallery, the artists, and fun facts about art.   Margo and Liz discuss: What led Liz to start her own gallery The important of creativity and adorning your walls with art How she has changed the landscape of Des Moines and surrounding cities with murals  Why art collecting can be accessible for anyone, not just millionaires How to find your personal style in art and how to find art that fits with the design of your space (size, color palette, spacing with furniture, etc.) How she helps clients in being socially conscious with the art pieces — who the artist is, how they create, the reasoning behind a piece of art, etc. Her approach to buying and selling art   Connect with Liz: https://www.lizlidgett.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lizlidgettgallery/ https://www.instagram.com/lizlidgett/ Ten Minute Masterpieces with Liz Lidgett

Democrats tend to defend the institutions that Trump is tearing apart, but Pete Buttigieg says the party should be focusing on the bigger, deeper structural problems the country is facing and the need for political reform. The kind of radical institutional changes he'd like to see include: expanding SCOTUS and the House of Representatives, statehood for Washington, D.C., and directly electing the president by popular vote. Plus, Pete gets candid about the “most f*cked-up thing” that's ever happened to his family, the big opportunity for Dems in Iowa in November, and Pete's stumping for candidates in places where Fox News reigns.Pete Buttigieg joined Tim Miller in Des Moines.Show notes:List provided by Pete Buttigieg of candidates he has endorsed in the 2026 election cycle can be found in show notes in the below link:https://www.thebulwark.com/p/pete-buttigieg-time-for-radical-change
