CAPTION 1860 PRESIDENT-ELECT A. LINCOLN, ILLINOIS STATE CAPITALACONTENTS TABLE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 9-8-2026Liz Peek joins the show to discuss the resilient US economy, highlighting a vibrant jobs market and booming consumer spending. Despite Wall Street optimism and rising corporate profits, escalating oil prices driven by the Middle Eastconflict remain a major headwind. Looking ahead to the 2028 presidential race, Peek assesses the early Republicanlandscape. While Vice President J.D. Vance currently leads, his relationship with certain voter blocs remains complicated. Meanwhile, big donors increasingly favor the personable Marco Rubio over Vance. Donald Trump must improve his gutter-level favorability numbers by presenting a more likable, grandfatherly image to voters before the midterms. (1)Jonathan Schanzer analyzes the expanding Middle East conflict, noting recent Iran-backed Houthi strikes on four Saudi cities. This dangerous escalation highlights Iran's strategy to disrupt regional energy assets and exploit vulnerabilities in the United States security architecture. Schanzer also details a worrying alliance between the Houthis and Somalia's al-Shabaab. In Lebanon, the Israeli military has cleared a key subterranean Hezbollah nerve center, leaving the proxy in financial disarray. Ultimately, Schanzer argues that Iran acts like a battered boxer playing "rope-a-dope," surviving to maintain its revolutionary ideology. Turkey is also complicating matters by pursuing an active encirclement strategy near Israel's borders. (2)George Beebe discusses the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, emphasizing the serious effort by the Trump administration to rekindle peace talks through emissaries like Jared Kushner. Strategically, the United States wants to end the war to reduce Russia's dependence on China and secure a crucial foreign policy victory before the midterms. However, Beebe explains that a breakthrough will not rely on territorial compromise, which both sides reject. Instead, it requires a strategic settlement that addresses Russian concerns about NATO expansion and guarantees Ukrainian neutrality. Meanwhile, Ukraine faces thinning battle lines, severe manpower recruitment issues, and a critical shortage of air defense missiles. (3)Tal Fortgang revisits the late 2023 congressional hearings where university presidents argued that calling for the genocide of Jewish people "depends on the context." Fortgang contends that schools selectively used "context" to excuse student agitators who systematically violated time, place, and manner rules to intimidate others. These disruptive activities constituted a targeted harassment campaign rather than protected academic debate. Furthermore, the Director of National Intelligence confirmed that Iran financially backed some protesters. Fortgang argues that universities failed their moral duty by not enforcing rules and expelling those individuals committing lawless acts, which effectively silences legitimate, peaceful and civil campus speech. (4)Gregory Copley covers global structural changes, discussing the Kushner-Witkoff Kremlin mission and the fracturing of traditional alliances, including US-Canada trade disputes over tariffs. He highlights that Volodymyr Zelenskyyopposes a negotiated Ukraine peace deal because ending the conflict would likely trigger his political removal. Furthermore, Copley observes the decline of globalization and a return to nationalism. Driven by new manufacturing technologies like 3D printing and advanced drone platforms, countries such as Australia and Japan are building sovereign aerospace industries to reduce dependence on foreign powers. Finally, he shares brief updates on King Charles III and Prince George's enrollment at Eton. (5)Thaddeus McCotter joins the program to dissect the political climate leading into upcoming midterm elections. McCotter observes that Donald Trump's net approval rating is deep underwater, posing a significant hurdle for congressional Republicans. Since the president's performance is always implicitly on the ballot, voters send a direct message to the administration by defeating his fellow partisans in the legislative branch. McCotter and Batchelor also explore the 2028 presidential nomination beauty contests, noting J.D. Vance's early lead while questioning old truisms. Lastly, they discuss the internal ideological divisions within the Democratic party and how candidates distance themselves from the Trump administration. (6)Joseph Sternberg discusses global fiscal crises, focusing on soaring government debt in developed countries. In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has failed to tackle public finances, choosing instead to campaign retroactively against Margaret Thatcher's legacy rather than implementing needed welfare and NHS reforms. Francefaces similar political gridlock, prompting some economists to unrealistically suggest that the European Central Bankforgive its national debt. Meanwhile, the United States faces a looming 2032 deadline when Social Security faces technical insolvency, forcing a crucial entitlement reform debate. Lastly, Sternberg examines newly appointed Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's hawkish stance on inflation. (7)8. StreamingHeadline: Diesel Shortages Threaten Global EconomyGuest: Thaddeus McCotterSummary: Thaddeus McCotter joins the show's preparation segment to examine the severe global diesel shortage, which has pushed Connecticut prices well past $6 per gallon. This scarcity stems from refinery backlogs, a critical lack of new US infrastructure, and Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refining facilities. In response, anxious Russian citizens have started purchasing alternative electric vehicles to bypass long fueling lines. McCotter and Bachelor also analyze the upcoming midterm elections, noting how visual presentation is crucial in the social media era. They highlight candidate El Sayed's deliberate "fighter" style of wearing work boots and t-shirts to capture anti-establishment voter frustration

Stephen Layton has spent his life exploring what happens when people come together to make music. In Sydney to conduct the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Sydney Philharmonia Choirs in Mozart's Requiem and other works, he reflects on the balance between instinct and preparation, having examined the famous piece note by note in preparing his own performing edition.The conversation traces Stephen's story back to childhood, where he played alongside his father in a Pentecostal church where music might begin spontaneously and gather momentum around the room. From there came an extraordinary journey through Winchester Cathedral, Eton and King's College, Cambridge, where scholarships opened doors that had once seemed unimaginable. Stephen speaks about founding Polyphony, his ambitious overnight performance of John Tavener's The Veil of the Temple, and his seventeen years transforming the choir of Trinity College, Cambridge. He also explains why Australia became unexpectedly important to Trinity's international success, and talks of a life shaped by curiosity, opportunity and an enduring fascination with the collective energy of music-making.Stephen Layton conducts the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Sydney Philharmonia Choirs for Mozart's Requiem and other works at the Sydney Opera House, September 9-12.

Kindly commissioned and sponsored by Gavin Critchley for his friend Victoria, a lover of dolls' houses... A collector buys a Gothic dolls' house for sixty guineas — a museum piece, the dealer calls it, and means it more than he says. Six feet of Strawberry Hill in miniature: a chapel, a stable block, a drawer of tiny embroidered clothes. He spends a happy evening setting its rooms in order, delighted with his find. There's no clock within earshot — none on the stair, none in the stable, none in the distant church tower. And yet, at one in the morning, a bell tolls once. "The Haunted Dolls' House" was first published in the Empire Review in February 1923, and later collected in M. R. James's A Warning to the Curious. M. R. James (1862–1936) was Provost of Eton and King's College, Cambridge, and a distinguished medieval scholar — antiquarian interests that shaped his ghost stories as much as his day job.

Peter Stansky, Professor of History, Emeritus at Stanford University and author of The Socialist Patriot: George Orwell and War, explores the life and political evolution of George Orwell (born Eric Blair). Born in India in 1903 to a family in the "official classes," Orwell's early identity was shaped by the British Empire and his education at St Cyprian's and Eton. Stansky argues that Orwell's experiences during World War I fostered an intense patriotism, which he distinguished from nationalism as a love for one's country without the desire to impose its will on others. Orwell's career shifted from serving as an imperial police officer in Burma to living in poverty in London and Paris to understand class dynamics. A defining moment occurred during the Spanish Civil War, where he was wounded while fighting for the POUM. This experience transformed him into a convinced democratic socialist while simultaneously making him a fierce anti-communist after witnessing Soviet-backed betrayals. During World War II, Orwell worked for the BBC and wrote The Lion and the Unicorn, arguing that England must become socialist to win the war. His final years were marked by personal tragedy and failing health as he wrote his most famous works, Animal Farm and 1984. Stansky concludes that these masterpieces were not anti-socialist, but rather warnings about the corrupting nature of power and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals by leaders who prioritize maintaining control over the welfare of the people.

Send us Fan MailThe first World Cup champion in history spoke Spanish — Uruguay, 1930. The Latino history of fútbol, from Aztec stone courts to the Estadio Azteca.Ask most people who won the very first World Cup and they'll say Brazil, Italy, or England. They're wrong. And the real answer says everything about us.This is a solo episode on the history of fútbol, the origins of the World Cup, and how deep Latino roots run in the biggest tournament on Earth.THE BALLGAME BEFORE THE BALLGAME Three thousand years before England wrote a single rule, our ancestors were already playing one of the oldest organized ball games on the planet. The Aztecs called it ōllamaliztli — from ōlli, their word for rubber. The Maya called it pok-ta-pok. They played with a solid rubber ball that could weigh up to nine pounds, in massive stone courts, with crowds in the stands. Mesoamericans invented the rubber ball. And this was no weekend kickaround — it was sacred, tied to how they understood the sun, life, and death. No hands, no feet. Hips, forearms, thighs. A version of that same game, ulama, is still played in Sinaloa, México, to this day.WHERE THE MODERN GAME REALLY CAME FROM England's original version was called mob football — entire villages dragging an inflated pig's bladder across miles of open country. Broken bones, brawls, deaths. Kings tried to ban it, and a preacher in the 1500s called it a bloody, murdering practice rather than a friendly sport. The most beautiful sport on the planet started as a legal riot between two towns. England's boarding schools — Eton, Harrow, Rugby — finally tamed it, and in 1863 they split the difference in a London tavern: the foot game became association football, the hands game became rugby. That's also where the word "soccer" comes from. Not America. England.DID FÚTBOL COME FROM CHINA? FIFA officially points to cuju, played in China more than two thousand years ago, as the oldest recorded version. Most historians call the connection a stretch. Their reasoning is simple: kicking a ball is just something humans do. It appeared independently in China, Greece, Rome, Japan — and right here in the Americas. Nobody handed the game down to us.HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN FIFA? No. For about forty years there was no global governing body at all. FIFA was founded in 1904 in Paris by seven European countries — and England, who wrote the rulebook, was too proud to join at first.URUGUAY 1930: THE FIRST WORLD CUP The first World Cup ever played wasn't in London, Rome, or Paris. It was in Uruguay. They were the best team on Earth, they were celebrating a hundred years of their constitution, they offered to pay for everything, and they built the Estadio Centenario from scratch. Thirteen teams played. Seven came from the Americas. The first goal in World Cup history was scored against México on opening day. And in the final, Uruguay beat Argentina 4-2 in front of 93,000 people to become the first world champions in history. The next day the whole country shut down for a national holiday.TEN TITLES Brazil has five World Cups, more than any nation on Earth. Argentina has three, including Maradona in 1986 and Messi in 2022. Uruguay has two, including the Maracanazo of 1950. Ten world championships in Latin America.AND AN HONEST LOOK AT FIFA FIFA's record off the field is ugly — the 2015 corruption arrests in Zürich, and right now, the ticket situation at the Estadio Azteca, with everyday Mexican fans priced out of watching their own national team on their own soil. That's not okay. But a boardroom in Switzerland doesn't get to rewrite what we built on the field.Follow the show, share this with somebody watching the games this summer, and leave a rating.

Prince George is set to attend Eton College, continuing a long tradition of future leaders being educated in elite boarding schools.But is this really the best way to prepare someone for leadership in the 21st century?In this episode of An Evolving Man Podcast, I explore five reasons why we need to stop sending our future leaders to boarding school.Drawing on modern leadership literature, boarding school syndrome research, attachment theory and the work of writers such as Nick Duffell, Joy Schaverien, Sue Gerhardt, Richard Beard, Louise Champion, Daniel Goleman, Antonio Damasio, Kouzes and Posner, I ask whether boarding school really creates the qualities we need in leaders today.We explore:• Why great leadership needs love• Why boarding school often teaches children to live without love• How emotional repression affects decision-making• Why emotional intelligence matters more than ever in leadership• How boarding school separates future leaders from the people they will one day lead• Why secure attachment supports a flexible brain• Why resilience is not the same as dissociation• The difference between confidence and a survival mask• Why command-and-control leadership is no longer enough• Why future leaders need compassion, connection and emotional maturityThis is not simply about Prince George.It is about what kind of leaders we want to create.If we continue sending future leaders into environments where love, vulnerability, emotional expression and ordinary human connection are removed, should we be surprised when those leaders later struggle with empathy, intimacy, transparency and care?The future needs emotionally intelligent leaders.Leaders who can listen.Leaders who can feel.Leaders who can connect.Leaders who understand the people they are here to serve.#BoardingSchoolSyndrome #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #Eton #PrinceGeorge #BoardingSchoolTrauma #CompassionateLeadership #FutureLeadersTimestamps00:00 Introduction00:35 Prince George, Eton and future leadership01:10 Why this conversation matters01:55 The five reasons we need to rethink boarding school02:45 Reason 1: Great leadership needs love04:20 Boarding school and the absence of love05:25 Reason 2: Emotional repression06:30 Why leaders need emotional information07:15 Reason 3: Separation from those they will lead08:05 Reason 4: Secure attachment and the flexible brain09:15 Reason 5: Confidence, resilience and dissociation10:35 Why command-and-control leadership is no longer enough11:10 Final reflections and invitation to comment---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.

Lost Hearts by M R James (1862-1936) Join my patreon: https://patreon.com/barcud There is a house in Lincolnshire where a scholar lives alone with his books and his learning and his carefully recorded dates. He is a kind man, by all appearances — generous to orphaned children, interested in the old religions, methodical in his habits. The kind of man that academics find reliable. M. R. James wrote this story in 1895. His erudition encompassed the respectable and the less so, and he knew the darker currents of the archive as well as any man alive. Something — or someone — has been waiting in that house. Waiting, with considerable patience, for the third. "Lost Hearts" was first published in the Pall Mall Magazine in 1895, and collected in Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, published by Edward Arnold in 1904.

The Many Faces of AI: Sebastian Mallaby on Demis Hassabis and the Quest to Read God's Mind

“Doing science is like reading the mind of God.” — Demis Hassabis, quoted in The Infinity MachineThis week's New Yorker uncomplimentary profile of OpenAI's CEO is entitled “The Many Faces of Sam Altman.” But not all AI leaders are quite as many faced as slippery Sam. Take, for example, Demis Hassabis, the North London based co-founder and CEO of Google's DeepMind. In his new biography, The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind, and the Quest for Superintelligence, the British journalist Sebastian Mallaby argues that Hassabis is, in contrast, one faced. And that face is not only decent, but informed by the enlightened ethics of Baruch Spinoza and Immanuel Kant.Mallaby presents Hassabis as the anti-Altman. He's stayed at DeepMind for sixteen years, lived in the same London house, drives a decade-old car. Rather than power, Google's AI supremo seeks scientific enlightenment. Like Spinoza, his God is the master watchmaker of the universe. And so doing science, Hassabis explained to Mallaby in one of their many conversations in the backroom of a North London pub, is like reading the mind of God. Decent Demis. Honest Hassabis. Let's just hope this modest and thoughtful tech leviathan can bring Kantian ethics to Silicon Valley's sprint for artificial general intelligence. Five Takeaways•       Hassabis Is the Anti-Altman: Sam Altman has managed to annoy almost everyone he's worked with by saying one thing and doing the opposite. Hassabis has run DeepMind continuously for sixteen years, lives in the same house in Highgate, drives a decade-old car, and spends his discretionary money on Liverpool season tickets. He doesn't want power. He wants scientific enlightenment. Mallaby uses the word advisedly.•       Doing Science Is Like Reading the Mind of God: Hassabis is a Spinozan. The god he believes in is the god Einstein talked about — the fabric of reality understood through scientific inquiry. He reads Kant, he reads Spinoza, he reads widely enough to be a proper polymath. Mallaby sat with him in a Highgate pub for more than thirty hours. What he found was not a Silicon Valley sociopath but an enlightenment figure who thinks AI is the modern version of the telescope.•       The Szilard Pedestrian Crossing: Mallaby asked Hassabis what it felt like to set up DeepMind in 2010. Instead of the usual vague answer, Hassabis painted the scene: the attic office on Russell Square, the heat, the stairs, the greenery outside, the London Mathematical Society three doors down where Turing lectured, and the zebra crossing where the Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard conceived of the nuclear chain reaction in the 1930s. The perfect metaphor: DeepMind as the modern Manhattan Project.•       The Two Categories of Things That Go Wrong: There's the idiot-in-charge category — an evil or stupid person making bad decisions, and you could swap them out. Then there's the structural category: a good person trying their best, defeated by larger forces they cannot control. Hassabis is category two. He wants to make AI safe, but race dynamics between US and China labs make safety nearly impossible to deliver. The failure of governments to intervene is the real story. Not individuals.•       The Go Players Who Quit: When AlphaGo beat the best players in the world, some professional Go players retired — centuries of accumulated human understanding devalued overnight. Others kept playing, using the machine as a tutor to discover patterns they'd never seen. Two responses to superintelligence in one domain. One is mourning. The other is curiosity. Mallaby thinks the second response is the only one worth having. Hassabis agrees. About the GuestSebastian Mallaby is the Paul A. Volcker senior fellow for international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations. A former Washington Post columnist and Economist contributing editor, he is the author of More Money Than God, The Man Who Knew (winner of the FT and McKinsey Business Book of the Year), The Power Law, and now The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind, and the Quest for Superintelligence.References:•       The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind, and the Quest for Superintelligence by Sebastian Mallaby.•       Episode 2862: Truth Is Dead — Steven Rosenbaum on AI as a spectacularly good liar. Mallaby's quiet counter-argument.•       Episode 2860: We Shape Our AI, Thereafter It Shapes Us — Keith Teare on agency in our agentic age. Hassabis thinks he can still steer.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Dame Sarah Mullally has been installed as the new Archbishop of Canterbury this week. The former nurse from Woking is the first woman to occupy the role of de facto leader of the Church of England and leader of the global Anglican communion. In contrast to her Eton and Oxford educated predecessor Justin Welby, Sarah Mullally attended her local comprehensive before studying nursing at South Bank Polytechnic. By the age of thirty seven she was appointed Chief nursing officer for the NHS, a meteoric rise that brought with it a six-figure Whitehall salary and meetings with the prime minister. But five years later she threw it in to become a junior priest earning less than twenty thousand pounds a year. Her supporters see her as a safe pair of hands, a leader who will steady the ship after years of abuse scandals and bitter rows over sexuality and identity. But following her appointment some of the more conservative and evangelical Anglicans have said they will no longer recognise the authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury. So who is the new Archbishop and what will her tenure hold? Becky Milligan finds out.

Prince William is reportedly beginning to operate with the authority of a future monarch, quietly assembling a small inner circle and managing strategy largely within his own household rather than through King Charles's court. Sources say the Prince of Wales does not see himself as “an understudy waiting in the wings,” but is already setting priorities for his eventual reign.We also revisit the 2012 scandal that pushed William into legal battle after topless photographs of Kate were published in France, the crucial support William says he receives from Carole and Michael Middleton, and the difficult decision looming over Prince George's next school following a recent death at Eton.Plus: a claim that Kate has “never been close” to Beatrice and Eugenie, and the Royal Family prepares to present a united front at next week's Commonwealth Day service.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth

Dominic West, one of the talented British actors who has had success both at home and in Hollywood, is our guest today. His breakout role was in the cult U.S. gritty crime drama The Wire, in which he played the detective, Jimmy McNulty, so convincingly that many American viewers were shocked to find out he was a Brit. In this conversation, Dominic tells Gyles about his Yorkshire childhood: he is one of seven children and grew up on the moors just outside Sheffield. He reminisces about his parents, the brilliant way they coped with the logistics of having such a big family, and their talents outside the home. He talks about his schooldays; the intense homesickness he felt when he went to Eton, and his feelings of alienation and "grief" at finding himself down south and far from home. He talks about finding his feet at that school, through drama. He talks about going to Italy, Edinburgh and Paris. He tells Gyles about going to university in Dublin and about what he learnt at clown school. He talks about playing Fred West and how he approaches his work.Thank you Dominic for this warm and wise conversation.If you love Rosebud, you can join the Rosebud Family by visiting www.patreon.com/rosebud.

PART II: A 1981 MiB Report From British Columbia, Canada

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles LearIn last week's blog, we looked at a case from British Columbia that involved two witnesses who said they not only saw a UFO on the night of October 3, 1981, described as an upside-down flying saucer with its dome underneath surrounded by four lights that were in the 3,6,9, and 12 o'clock positions, but also had encounters with MiB types afterwards. The main witness, a 16-year-old who ran his own security company, Grant Breiland, reportedly took a photo that was not developed at the time of the article. The other witness, identified only as “N.B.” was a 19-year-old male who said he saw the same object. Breiland was interviewed extensively by former University of Victoria linguistics professor, Dr. P.M.H. Edwards. Edwards wrote a report that was published in the Vol. 27, No. 4, January 1982 Flying Saucer Review.When we left off, Breiland had just been confronted in the glass-doored vestibule of a shopping mall by two men dressed in extremely dark blue clothing. They were stiff and robotic, had tanned faces and lips the same color, no eyebrows, and “Eton crop” haircuts. He was scared by not only their non-human appearance, but also by the fact that there were suddenly no people to be seen anywhere, which was the case during the entire encounter. According to Edwards, they asked him what his name was, where he lived, what his phone number was, and he refused to answer. After staring at him for five seconds, they turned on their heels “as one man,” walked outside (it was raining), crossed the sidewalk to the road, went left, and walked in sync in a military fashion. Breiland followed them and watched as they walked onto a muddy, excavated field and then vanished before his eyes. He ran to the spot where they disappeared and saw they had left no footprints. Read more →
