  As we transition  from summer to fall, you are invited into the depths. In this episode we lean into the teachings of powerful Goddesses. They remind us that in the descent, lies the opportunity for profound growth and discovery. So, I ask you: what will you do with the wisdom you have gained?    Episode Highlights     1:37: Demeter and the Harvest Mindset  Demeter is the goddess of harvest, persistence, and fierce creation. She guides us to focus on planting intentional seeds, honoring our work, and recognizing the value of what has already been grown.    4:33: Persephone and the Call to Transformation  Persephone's story becomes a metaphor for the moment innocence gives way to initiation. The descent into the underworld is framed as a turning point that creates growth, identity change, and deeper purpose.    7:10: What Descent Can Look Like in Real Life  The mythic journey to everyday experiences like business shifts, relationship changes, grief, menopause, divorce, and identity loss. We need to normalize the discomfort of not knowing what comes next.    9:28: The Space Between Breakdown and Becoming  Instead of forcing a quick solution, stay with the darkness long enough to learn from it. The descent is a sacred pause that asks what needs to die, what truth has been avoided, and what wants to return.    11:52: Hecate and the Wisdom of the Dark  Hecate enters as the guide through hidden inner layers and the keeper of wisdom; the real wisdom that comes from lived experience, healing, caregiving, and the stories we carry.    14:49: Stop Hiding Your Magic  Stop softening your truth or shrinking personal power. Bring all parts of the self into the world, even the parts that feel too wild or too much.    16:04: The Woman Waiting Beneath the Roles  The descent is a process of finding the self beneath expectations, masks, and old conditioning. This is a conversation about transition, reflection, and the deeper inner work that comes with change.    If you feel called to explore these themes further, I invite you to join me for a retreat this October, where we will dive deep into this work together.     Schedule a complimentary call with Julie to see if this retreat is right for you. https://juliefouchtcoaching.as.me/exploration    May the Goddesses bless you with their strength!   Mentioned  Love-Based Feminine Marketing (Book)    Connect with Julie Foucht     Website: https://juliefoucht.com/   Quiz: https://bit.ly/witchpreneur-quiz  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artoffemininebusiness/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JulieFouchtCoaching/   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FeminineMarketingMagic/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JulieFoucht   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachjulz/  Podcast: The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht at https://juliefoucht.com/podcast/

Steven Dixon, a former Baltimore heroin kingpin, reveals how the city's drug trade really worked during its most notorious era—from New York suppliers and mob connections to high-purity heroin, street corners generating staggering amounts of cash, and the operation that made him millions. He breaks down how heroin moved from New York to Baltimore, how dealers controlled territory across West Baltimore, why trusted connections mattered, and how the drug economy seen in The Wire compared to what was actually happening on the streets. But the money and power came with a devastating price. After building a massive operation and owning more than 100 properties, Steven eventually became addicted to heroin himself—losing the empire, the money, and nearly everything else. After years of addiction, he finally got clean, returned to school, earned a master's degree, and dedicated his life to helping others recover through addiction treatment and behavioral health programs. This is the inside story of Baltimore's heroin era—from millions in drug money to addiction, recovery, and redemption. Go Support Steven!

Heute geht's unter anderem um die Laufsteg-Qualitäten von DER TEUFEL TRÄGT PRADA 2, die finsteren Bilder von LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY, den prasselnden Terror in CRAWL und ein paar Extraminuten in dem ohnehin schon nicht kurzen DER PATRIOT.

*Trigger warning-This show has discussions around suicide*How do you know when drinking has crossed the line from “I drink a lot” to “I have a problem”?In this episode of One For The Road, Sober Dave is joined by Emma Walsh, who shares how her relationship with alcohol slowly progressed from social drinking to drinking two, sometimes nearly three bottles of wine a night.From the outside, Emma had built a successful life — a career, a marriage and two young children. But underneath it all, she was struggling with anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome and a deep sense of not knowing who she really was.As drinking became her way of coping with difficult emotions, the consequences began to grow. Blackouts, risky decisions, overwhelming hangovers and constant negotiations with herself about how much she would drink became part of everyday life. Yet for a long time, Emma still didn't believe she had a problem with alcohol.Everything began to change when a friend told Emma she had stopped drinking and encouraged her to educate herself about alcohol. Emma started listening to recovery podcasts and, for the first time, began recognising herself in the stories she was hearing.The realization finally hit her: “I just thought I was drinking a lot. But I never realized I had a problem.”If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@soberdaveonefortheroad Hosted on Acast.

Juanma y Dani conversan sobre la película The Descent, un perfecto ejemplo de horror fuertecito de la década de los 2000. En esta entrega de nuestro espacio de cine en esRadio, Juanma González y Dani Palacios se adentran en las profundidades de la tierra para analizar una de las películas más emblemáticas del género de terror de la década de los 2000: The Descent, dirigida por el británico Neil Marshall. Estrenada en 2005, esta obra llegó en un momento en que el público seguía muy de cerca los pasos de su director tras el éxito de su anterior largometraje, Dog Soldiers. Los presentadores coinciden en que la película supuso un hito en el cine de horror de la época, destacando por su atmósfera asfixiante y un crudo retrato de la supervivencia humana llevado al límite. La trama sigue a un grupo de seis amigas que deciden emprender una expedición de espeleología en una remota cadena montañosa. Sin embargo, lo que comienza como una actividad de aventura pronto se transforma en una auténtica pesadilla claustrofóbica. Dani y Juanma subrayan que, más allá de la amenaza física de las extrañas criaturas ciegas que habitan en la oscuridad, el verdadero motor de la tensión dramática es el tenso triángulo amoroso latente entre la protagonista, Sarah, su amiga Juno y el difunto esposo de la primera. Este conflicto psicológico fractura la supuesta solidaridad femenina desde el primer minuto, ofreciendo un retrato humano implacable, pesimista y carente de heroísmos idealizados. Desde el punto de vista formal, los presentadores elogian la influencia de maestros como John Carpenter en el manejo del espacio claustrofóbico y la tensión sostenida. Marshall utiliza de manera magistral el formato panorámico para capturar tanto la inmensidad de los paisajes exteriores al inicio de la cinta como la opresión de los pasadizos subterráneos. Aunque gran parte de la película se rodó en plató, la iluminación —que transita desde tonos fríos y blanquecinos al estilo de Janusz Kaminski en Minority Report hasta la oscuridad absoluta salpicada por el rojo de las bengalas— consigue sumergir al espectador en un entorno absolutamente verosímil y terrorífico. Otro de los aciertos técnicos comentados es la banda sonora compuesta por David Julyan, la cual evoca de inmediato las melodías trágicas de Howard Shore en El Silencio de los Corderos. Asimismo, se analiza el uso de la obturación de la cámara en las secuencias de acción dentro de la cueva, un recurso visual similar al empleado por Danny Boyle en 28 Días Después. Al aumentar la velocidad del obturador en condiciones de extrema subexposición, Marshall logra definir los movimientos de las criaturas de manera nítida e inquietante sin perder la oscuridad natural del escenario, una decisión artística sumamente arriesgada pero ejecutada con un éxito rotundo. El debate se intensifica al analizar los diferentes finales de la película según el mercado en el que se distribuyó. Mientras que el estreno en Estados Unidos ofreció una versión editada en la que la protagonista logra escapar, el corte original europeo mantiene un tono de absoluto pesimismo en el que la huida resulta ser una mera alucinación de Sarah, atrapada definitivamente en la fosa. Para Juanma y Dani, este último final es el único coherente con el descenso a la locura y la deshumanización que sufre el personaje, quien termina convertida en una criatura tan salvaje como los propios monstruos de la caverna para asegurar su supervivencia. Finalmente, los presentadores repasan la trayectoria de Neil Marshall, lamentando que su prometedora carrera se viera parcialmente truncada en años posteriores. In particular, rememoran el escándalo sexual que involucró a su pareja, la actriz Charlotte Kirk, y a altos ejecutivos de Hollywood, un suceso que ensombreció su estatus en la industria cinematográfica. Con todo, The Descent permanece como un clásico moderno del cine de terror, una joya de la transición entre el celuloide y el formato digital que sigue funcionando con una eficacia espeluznante casi dos décadas después de su estreno.

“There is a big chasm between defeat and surrender. Surrender is inherently a political decision.” — James M. Scott Exactly eighty-one years ago, on August 9, 1945, the United States dropped its second nuclear device on Nagasaki. Three days earlier, on August 6, the Enola Gay dropped the first bomb on Hiroshima. Little Boy and Fat Man. Our nuclear Rubicon had been crossed. Three days in August that changed the world. These historic 72 hours are the subject of Empire of Ashes: Truman, Hirohito, and the Descent into Total War, by James M. Scott, America's foremost chronicler of the Pacific War. This new book, Scott reveals, grew out of Black Snow, his history of the firebombing of Tokyo. But whereas Black Snow was a military study, he explains, Empire of Ashes focuses on Truman, Hirohito and the politics of nuclear warfare. By August 1945, Scott argues, Japan was already defeated. So surrender was a political decision — one that required a weak, figurehead emperor to summon the power to save his country from an even darker apocalypse. Should America regret these August days? Harry Truman certainly didn't, Scott notes. In fact, in 1958 Truman even held a press conference in Independence, Missouri, to fire back at Hiroshima's city council when it suggested that he should. Nor does Scott render much of a moral verdict of his own. “Nobody needs to hear James Scott in Charleston, South Carolina tell you what it is you should think,” he explains, suggesting that we can all make up our minds by reading Empire of Ashes. So two bombs, somewhere between 150,000 and 246,000 civilian deaths, and no crime? That, oddly enough, might be the biggest tragedy of those three days in August 1945 that changed the world forever. Five Takeaways •       Defeat Is Not Surrender. Scott's organizing insight: as destructive as it was, the atomic bomb was inherently a political weapon, aimed at the chasm between a nation defeated and a nation willing to say so. Surrender is a political act — and Japan's politics ran through Hirohito, ostensibly the center of political, cultural, and spiritual life, in practice a figurehead bypassed by militarists who had consolidated power through the 1920s and '30s under the standing threat of assassination. His first peace soundings had to be conducted incognito, for fear of his own army; not until June 1945 does he rise to the occasion. Truman, by contrast, emerges as strong and morally serious — a First World War artillery officer who inherited the Okinawa bloodbath, approved the invasion of Japan, chose what he saw as the lesser evil, and then stopped all further atomic use the moment surrender came.•       The Firebombing Precedent. Would FDR have made the same call? “Absolutely. No doubt about it.” The moral threshold had already been crossed on March 9, 1945, when Curtis LeMay abandoned precision bombing and burned Tokyo — 105,000 men, women, and children in a single night, the most destructive conventional raid in history. The Pentagon braced for public outrage, monitoring editorials, radio, and the floors of Congress. None came; Time wrote that “properly kindled, Japanese cities will burn like autumn leaves.” LeMay took the green light and burned 64 cities — 170 square miles — before the first atomic bomb ever fell. War Secretary Henry Stimson confessed his amazement to his diary; FDR, with every opportunity to rein it in, said nothing. When Elliott Roosevelt later claimed his father would never have dropped the bomb, Stimson publicly corrected him.•       The Second Bomb Mattered More. Scott's most counterintuitive argument: Nagasaki, not Hiroshima, ended the war. Atomic energy was the AI of its day — over a hundred academic papers in 1939 alone, new physics programs at Berkeley and Chicago, dreams of atom-powered ships — and Japan, which had its own failed program, knew exactly how ruinously expensive a bomb was to build. So after Hiroshima, the militarists reasoned the Americans could not possibly have another, and held to the plan of bleeding the invasion on the beaches for better terms. A second city destroyed seventy-five hours later shattered the illusion: if they can drop one every three days, they may have twenty — or two hundred. As for simply telling Tokyo? There were no channels beyond dropped leaflets and slow relays through neutral capitals. You could not, as Andrew noted, email in those days.•       In the Room Where It Happened. Scott's method — borrowed, he says, from Hamilton — is to put readers in the room: the White House, the Imperial Palace, and above all the streets. He has interviewed survivors in Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki across multiple books, and the physics of the firestorm connects all three: heat that melts concrete, fuses coins into lumps, welds roof tiles to kitchenware. Only five photographs were taken in Hiroshima on the day of the blast — stunned people, sitting. Organized rescue took thirty hours to arrive. In Nagasaki, the thirsty and burned waded into the river to die, so many that their bodies formed a dam. Radiation sickness began within thirty minutes. These are beautiful, functioning cities today, Scott notes — which is exactly why the accounts matter.•       No Regrets, No Verdict. Truman defended the decision to his grave — and then some: when Hiroshima's city council passed a resolution in 1958 urging him toward remorse, he wrote back that Japan had started the war, then held a press conference at his museum in Independence to distribute the reply. The Oppenheimer film's chilly Oval Office scene is overdramatized, Scott thinks, but true to the core: the buck — and the moral weight — stopped with the commander-in-chief, not the scientists. Scott himself, pointedly, renders no verdict: “Nobody needs to hear James Scott in Charleston, South Carolina tell you what it is you should think.” Both sides laid out, 95 percent of the documents public, the reader left to grapple — which is perhaps why Black Snow sold well in Japan, and why Empire of Ashes will be published there next August 6. About the Guest James M.

James Scott joins us to discuss 'Empire of Ashes.'

It was a daunting sounding task that had never before been attempted - the fingerprinting of every male in one of the largest towns in the UK. But back in May 1948, the murder of three year old June Anne Devaney had sickened even the most hardened detectives so much, that there wasn't an officer involved who wasn't prepared to give this his all.This time around, on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I bring you the story of the Blackburn Fingerprint Hunt...The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, and including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod.

Enjoy this descent into the heartspace where Krishna Das connects us to our true nature of pure awareness and unity with God. This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das explores:Different translations of the Ramayana Bhakti and repetition of the name as one of the easiest paths to follow Descending deeply into the mind and heartHow Maharaj-ji instructed Krishna Das to wear red Union with god alongside worldly enjoymentsRemembering to orient ourselves to our true nature Watching the breath, separating breathing from awareness of breathing “The eye receives information from the outside world. But, the eye has no consciousness—it's a physical thing. What has consciousness is our true nature, which is aware of all the sense input that comes in. Who we truly are underneath all our thoughts, emotions, objects of experience, we are that awareness.” –Krishna DasAbout Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda' (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.KD spent the late '60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass' own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Krishna Das now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops. To date, KD has released 15 well-received albums, most recently Trust in the Heart released in October 2017.MORE INFORMATION and OFFERINGS VISIT: https://krishnadas.com/ KRISHNA DAS ON SOCIAL: FACEBOOK: facebook.com/KrishnaDasMusic INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/krishnadasmusic YOUTUBE: / krishnadasmusic X: @krishnadas #KrishnaDasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hell, The Weeknd might be a bigger nerd than I am.

Today, Paul M. Neuberger pulls no punches. We're not here for political debates. We're here to dissect a sickness infecting the soul of our society—the celebration of death itself. Public ridicule. Online applause at the loss of life. From Charlie Kirk to Senator Lindsey Graham, we've witnessed a new low: people cheering tragedy, mocking the image of God in another human.This isn't about Republican or Democrat. This is about spiritual decay vs. spiritual courage. The culture may reward cruelty. The world may call evil “good.” But Jesus is still Lord. The heart is the battlefield. What will you do when the crowd demands you join the outrage?"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." –Romans 12:21Episode Highlights:10:00 - Our standard is Jesus Christ. And if our online behavior looks more like the algorithms that reward outrage than the Savior who taught us to love even our enemies, well, then I believe it's time for every one of us to ask a very difficult question. Have we allowed the culture to disciple us more effectively than Christ? Because once death becomes entertainment, we've stopped seeing people as eternal souls. We've started seeing them as content. And in my opinion, that should grieve every single follower of Jesus Christ. 25:50 - If our first instinct when somebody dies is to celebrate instead of grieve, then I don't believe our greatest problem is political. Instead, I believe that our greatest problem is spiritual. And until the heart changes, neither our politics nor our culture ever truly will. 44:20 - "The world doesn't need Christians who are louder than everybody else. It needs Christians who are different. Different in how we think, different in how we speak, different in how we treat people, different in how we respond when tragedy strikes. And believe you me, it will. If our response to death looks no different than the world's response, well, then we've lost something precious. Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

The Name Above Every Name Conference Three The Broken Heart and the Descent into the Heart Learning to Stand Before God “The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.” — Psalm 51:17 There comes a moment in every authentic spiritual life when we discover that we cannot pray as we imagined we would. We begin with generous resolutions. We set aside time. We struggle to be faithful. We seek recollection. Yet gradually another discovery is made. The deepest obstacle to prayer is not distraction. It is ourselves. Not because we are evil. But because our hearts have become divided. Part of us longs for God. Another part clings to the world. Part of us desires silence. Another part fears it. Part of us seeks Christ. Another part still wishes to preserve itself. Prayer slowly uncovers this division. Not to discourage us. But to heal us. ⸻⸻⸻ Archimandrite Zacharias often says that the purpose of the spiritual life is not simply to become moral. It is to acquire a heart capable of standing before the living God. That is a very different thing. Many people imagine holiness as flawless behavior. The saints speak instead of relationship. A man may appear outwardly blameless while never allowing God near his heart. Another may come before God in tears, unable even to lift up his eyes, and return home justified. The difference is not perfection. It is truth. God can only fill the heart that has ceased pretending. ⸻⸻⸻ This is why repentance occupies such a central place in the Jesus Prayer. “Have mercy on me.” These words are not born of self-hatred. Nor are they the cry of someone obsessed with guilt. They are the language of love. 2 Only someone who has glimpsed the beauty of Christ can grieve over the ways he has turned from Him. Repentance is therefore not primarily looking at ourselves. It is looking at Christ. His light reveals everything. Not harshly. Tenderly. Like the rising sun that slowly illumines a valley still covered in morning mist. Nothing is forced. Everything is revealed in love. ⸻⸻⸻ The Fathers distinguish between remorse and repentance. Remorse circles endlessly around itself. Repentance turns toward God. Remorse says, “I have failed.” Repentance says, “Lord, have mercy.” Remorse ends in discouragement. Repentance opens the door to hope. This distinction is essential. Many sincere Christians carry burdens Christ never asked them to carry. 3 They believe continual self-accusation is humility. It is not. True humility forgets itself because it has become absorbed in Christ. The humble man knows his poverty. But he knows God's mercy even more. ⸻⸻⸻ Archimandrite Zacharias writes often about standing before God. This expression appears again and again. It is wonderfully simple. Prayer is not first speaking. Nor thinking. Nor even feeling. Prayer is standing. Standing before the Face of Christ. Standing in truth. Standing in poverty. Standing in hope. Everything else gradually unfolds from this. Sometimes words disappear. Sometimes thoughts become quiet. Sometimes only tears remain. 4 The Fathers are not disturbed by this. The heart has begun to speak. ⸻⸻⸻ One of the greatest gifts God grants us is the knowledge of our own weakness. Strangely, we usually resist this gift. We prefer strength. Competence. Success. Spiritual progress. God often gives something different. He allows us to encounter ourselves. Not to humiliate us. But to make us truthful. Without this knowledge, compassion remains shallow. We judge others because we have never seen ourselves. Once we have stood honestly before God, judgment becomes almost impossible. We recognize the same poverty within ourselves. And mercy begins to flow naturally. ⸻⸻⸻ The publican in the Temple becomes the icon of this prayer. He possesses nothing. No arguments. 5 No achievements. No excuses. He simply stands. “God, be merciful to me.” Nothing more. The Fathers never tire of returning to this image because it reveals the true posture of prayer. The Kingdom belongs to those who have nothing left except God. ⸻⸻⸻ There is another mystery hidden here. As repentance deepens, the heart begins to enlarge. This seems impossible. One might imagine continual repentance making a person smaller. The opposite occurs. Pride narrows the heart. Humility expands it. The more we stand honestly before Christ, the more room He creates within us. We begin to carry others. Their grief no longer feels foreign. Their wounds become our concern. Prayer quietly widens until it embraces the whole Adam. This is why the saints wept. 6 Not because they despaired. But because their hearts had become vast. ⸻⸻⸻ Archimandrite Zacharias frequently speaks of bearing shame. This language can trouble modern ears. Yet he uses it with profound care. The shame he describes is not humiliation inflicted by others. Nor is it psychological self-contempt. It is the willingness to stand before God without hiding. Adam covered himself. The saints uncover themselves before Christ. Nothing remains concealed. Nothing defended. Nothing explained away. And because everything is brought into the light, everything becomes capable of healing. The heart finally stops fleeing. It remains. ⸻⸻⸻ This is perhaps the deepest work of the Jesus Prayer. Not continual repetition. Continual return. 7 Every invocation is another act of trust. Another refusal to hide. Another opening of the heart. The prayer slowly becomes the place where Christ and the soul meet. No visions are required. No extraordinary experiences. Only faithfulness. Day after day. Year after year. Until standing before Christ becomes more natural than standing before ourselves. ⸻⸻⸻ There comes a point when prayer grows wonderfully simple. The words become fewer. The heart quieter. Silence itself begins to speak. This is not emptiness. It is fullness. The Presence for which words were preparing us has quietly arrived. The Fathers never encourage us to seek such moments. They teach us simply to remain faithful. Grace knows its own time. The flower does not open because we command it. 8 It opens because spring has come. So too the heart. ⸻⸻⸻ Perhaps this is the greatest lesson Archimandrite Zacharias offers us. The Jesus Prayer is not given so that we may become experts in prayer. It is given so that we may become truthful before God. The heart that continually cries, “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me,” gradually loses the need to defend itself. It no longer fears weakness. It no longer hides failure. It no longer seeks admiration. It desires only to remain before Christ. And this is already the beginning of heaven. For heaven is nothing other than the soul standing unveiled before the Face of the One who has loved it from all eternity. As we leave this conference, let us ask for only one grace. Not extraordinary prayer. Not lofty experiences. Simply the courage to remain before Christ without masks. To allow His light to reveal us. To allow His mercy to heal us. 9 To allow His love to enlarge our hearts until they become capable of bearing both our own poverty and the suffering of the whole world. For this is the hidden work of the holy Name. It leads us, not away from ourselves, but through the truth of ourselves into the inexhaustible mercy of God. 10

Football fans from the UK - and across the world - held their breath for a week in March 1966 when the Jules Rimet trophy, more commonly known as the World Cup - was stolen from an exhibition in Westminster, where it had been on display.

Had it been melted down, or had it been abandoned and lost forever?The answer came in the most unlikely of circumstances, and a hero who came on to save the day.

John discusses Trump delivering a paranoid and slurry primetime address on what he deems is an emergency of integrity in American elections. In the speech, Trump claimed he'd expose foreign plots to sway recent elections and blamed Democrats and Media Companies for allowing it to happen. He also talks about air quality being dangerously unhealthy across a swath of America from the Pacific to the Atlantic, including record-poor levels of pollution at the site of Sunday's World Cup final. Then, John welcomes back democratic strategist Ameshia Cross and they talk about Trump's mega lies and propaganda in last night's speech. The ever entertaining Bob Cesca jumps in and joins John to discuss Trump's longtime teleprompter operator, Gabriel Perez, who is under federal investigation for allegedly making $100,000 by betting on the content of the president's speeches. They also talk about Pete Kegsbreath's new directive for testosterone replacement therapy for male service members. Next, he interviews New York Times bestselling author James M. Scott about his new book "Empire of Ashes: Truman, Hirohito, and the Descent into Total War".
