Larry Blustein joins the show to break down the current landscape of high school and college football recruiting across Florida as spring football ramps up around the state. The conversation begins with Miami Carol City Chiefs becoming one of the hottest programs in South Florida, while St. Thomas continues its dominance with seven straight state championships and West Boca emerges as another program building serious momentum. Blustein also discusses how today's high school football environment now mirrors college football with NIL money, transfers, and recruiting battles shaping the sport earlier than ever before. The segment also features discussion surrounding the recruiting success at University of Miami, how programs like FIU, FAU, UCF, and USF are trying to build sustainable football programs, and why USF's future on-campus stadium could become a major boost for the program. Blustein also shares thoughts on the strong direction of University of Florida football, while acknowledging the challenges of competing in the SEC, and explains why Florida State University continues searching for answers after several disappointing seasons.

Hour 2 opens with Omar Kelly and Hollywood reacting to the newly released Miami Dolphins schedule and debating realistic expectations for the season, including major concerns surrounding the team's edge rushers and ability to stop the run. The conversation also centers around Malik Willis being the complete opposite stylistically from Tua Tagovailoa, with debate over Tua's arm strength, injuries, and Omar revealing that Troy Aikman was already working with the Dolphins organization while publicly criticizing Tua last season. Bonnie Bernstein then joins the show to discuss the continued rise of women's sports, the impact of Caitlin Clark on the WNBA, and her new ABC project “Champions Edge,” while also sharing insight into why girls often drop out of sports at higher rates than boys. The hour wraps with Larry Blustein breaking down the current state of Florida high school and college football recruiting, including the rise of Carol City, continued dominance from St. Thomas, momentum at West Boca, and how programs like University of Miami, UCF, USF, FIU, FAU, University of Florida, and Florida State University are navigating the evolving NIL era.

Em abril de 2026, depois de 16 anos no poder, Viktor Orbán foi derrotado nas urnas húngaras pelo deputado Péter Magyar e seu partido Tisza. Para Aline Burni, Research Fellow no ODI Global (Bruxelas) e pesquisadora do Observatório da Extrema Direita, o resultado é histórico. Mas o desafio de desmontar a “democracia iliberal” construída ao longo de quatro mandatos consecutivos é incomparavelmente mais complexo do que vencer uma eleição. Neste episódio, produzido em parceria com o Observatório da Extrema Direita, David Magalhães (UFU; OED) e Guilherme Casarões (FIU) recebem Aline para discutir o legado de Orbán como “vitrine” e laboratório da direita radical, a coalizão negativa que viabilizou a vitória de Magyar e os impactos da queda do principal aliado de Moscou na União Europeia sobre a guerra na Ucrânia, as redes transnacionais reacionárias e a articulação geopolítica entre Trump, Bruxelas e Pequim. No segundo bloco, em substituição ao tradicional boletim de notícias, David traça um perfil de Peter Thiel após sua visita a Javier Milei na Casa Rosada, recorrendo a Quinn Slobodian (Crack-Up Capitalism) para situar o cofundador da Palantir na constelação de figuras (Patri Friedman, Curtis Yarvin, Hans-Hermann Hoppe) que pavimentam um projeto de “fuga da democracia” pela via da fragmentação jurisdicional. O episódio fecha com uma dica cultural crítica sobre Por Dentro da Machosfera, documentário recém-lançado na Netflix por Louis Theroux. Aperte o play! Quer apoiar o Chutando a Escada?

Kash Patel's Alleged Bender, Palantir's ‘Manifesto,' and Trump's FISA Flip: Is Orwell Laughing or Crying? Dan and Corey host Libservative, joking about surveillance and “Orwellian” politics while discussing an Atlantic report alleging FBI Director Kash Patel is so drunk meetings are rescheduled and SWAT equipment was needed to reach him; Patel denies the claims on Maria Bartiromo and threatens to sue the Atlantic. They pivot to Palantir's “Technological Republic” points, criticizing what they read as soft nationalism, cultural hierarchy, and a push for Silicon Valley-led crime solutions that normalize AI surveillance, plus a claim that scrutiny drives “good people” out of government. They also cover an FIU student arrested after a group-chat message referencing Netanyahu “drop some bond bonds,” and argue it reflects censorship and overreach. Finally, they note Trump once opposed FISA but now urges a “clean” Section 702 extension, saying he'll risk citizens' rights for security. 00:00 Welcome to Libservative 00:58 Orwell and Surveillance Theme 01:46 Kash Patel Drunk Allegations 03:15 Party Riff and Clips Setup 05:11 Breathalyzer Advice Bit 08:30 Patel Responds on TV 13:33 Lawsuit and AA Steps 18:55 Palantir Manifesto Breakdown 20:22 Cultures and Accountability Claims 28:19 AI Crime Fighting and Orwell Fears 32:20 Dystopias and Animal Farm Talk 35:12 Cronyism vs Capitalism Debate 40:12 Dental Licensing Racket 43:21 Palantir Elite Narrative 48:08 Trump Energy Order Fallout 51:18 Florida Group Chat Arrest 01:00:07 Generational Squeeze Talk 01:04:29 Modern Masculinity Reset 01:13:45 FISA Flip And Surveillance 01:23:54 Wrap Up And Plugs

Em seu segundo encontro com o Chutando a Escada em 2026, o Observatório Rússia e América Latina (Ruslat) se debruça sobre as conexões entre a política externa russa, o continente latino-americano e o acirramento das tensões no Oriente Médio, com foco particular na guerra no Irã.

FIU students conduct a deep dive on Francisco Goya's painting “Saturn Devours his Son”. These students present research that delves into the history of the folklore this artwork is based on. Each member of the group did their own research blindly without collaboration, and is meeting up for the podcast to have their discussion. The painting appears gruesome, and some may turn their heads, but there is deep history and story behind it, that they should turn there heads back at the painting and take in its essence.

Imagine living and working on the ocean floor for weeks or months without surfacing—no daily supply boats, no weather interruptions, just fully self-sustaining habitats that recycle air, water, and waste in a true closed loop. That future is here. In this Colonize The Ocean short episode, we explore next-gen closed-loop life support systems for manned underwater habitats, from today's only operational U.S. station (FIU's Aquarius Reef Base, still tethered to a surface buoy) to the revolutionary tech crossing over from the International Space Station.#ColonizeTheOcean #UnderwaterHabitat #OceanColonization #ClosedLoopLifeSupport #SelfSustainingHabitat #OceanFloorLiving #AquariusReefBase #DeepSeaLiving #SpaceToOcean #ISStoOcean #MannedUnderwater #LifeSupportSystems #SubseaFuture #SustainableOceanFuturehttp://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.patreon.com/atlantisseacolonyhttps://discord.gg/jp5aSSkfNS

Like many of you, we have been following the recent developments in Cuba very closely. We were fortunate to sit down with Sebastián Arcos, Interim Director of the Cuban Research Institute at Florida International University, for a Special Edition COBT to discuss what is happening on the island and what it may mean going forward. Sebastián brings both deep personal experience and substantive expertise to the conversation. Born in Havana, he joined the Cuban Committee for Human Rights in 1987, left Cuba for the United States in 1992, and later served as part of the Freedom House delegation to the U.N. Human Rights Commission. He also advised the U.S. Department of State on human rights issues related to Cuba from 1998 to 2000 and earned both his Bachelor's Degree in International Relations and Master's Degree in Public Administration from FIU. We were thrilled to host Sebastián for such a timely and important discussion. In our conversation, Sebastián outlines the long economic decline that has brought Cuba to its current position, including the collapse of Soviet support, the island's dependence on imported oil, and the central role Venezuela has played in sustaining the regime. We explore Cuba's worsening demographic crisis, the mass exodus of recent years, and the ways in which energy shortages, blackouts, and economic deterioration are now colliding with a deeply centralized political system still shaped by Raúl Castro, the military, and the opaque power structure behind the civilian government. Sebastián walks us through how he thinks about a possible Cuban transition, arguing that real change would require political reform before economic reform, a credible transitional figure, and a negotiated process that includes both the opposition inside Cuba and the exile community outside it. We discuss the role of the U.S. and the pressure campaign now bearing down on Havana, the importance of Marco Rubio and Mexico as external variables, the unresolved question of property rights, and the sectors that could attract investment in a post-transition Cuba, from tourism and minerals to manufacturing and services. Along the way, Sebastián draws striking parallels between Cuba and Iran, highlights the unique links between Cuba and Venezuela, and offers a clear-eyed view of what it would take for Cuba to move from totalitarian rule toward a democratic future. We greatly appreciate Sebastián for sharing his candid insights into a complex situation. Mike Bradley started the show with a few details on Cuba's electricity generation and energy production. He noted that Cuba has 6-7gw of electricity generation (~95% oil/fossil fuel). Cuba's oil production is ~30kbpd (~65kbpd at its peak in 2003), its oil consumption is ~120kbpd, and 80-90kbpd of its oil imports were primarily supplied by Mexico and Venezuela prior to the de facto U.S. oil embargo started around January 2026. Veriten Senior Contributor Gabe Collins peppered in his questions and perspective to the discussion as well. We hope you find today's discussion as insightful and interesting as we did. Our best to you all!

They passed.So did FIU.So did FAU.So did everyone else.At 17, he was sitting in his bedroom, crying over a silent recruiting inbox—after driving to 18 camps with his dad and sending highlights to more than 100 programs.Not one FBS offer.His only option? Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path.Everyone told him to be “realistic.”“Know your place.”“Be grateful.”He didn't listen.Because Mendoza understood something most people miss:The worst outcome isn't failing.It's never getting the chance to try.Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang.Cal needed a body. One offer. Out of 134 schools.He took it.He arrived as the third-string quarterback.Spent a year on the scout team.Lost his first four starts.Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line.Still got up. Every time.Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him.So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes.He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history.People laughed.“Career suicide.”“Graveyard program.”“Nobody wins there.”One coach told him something different:“I'm going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.”That was enough.Mendoza wasn't just playing for football.His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years.Before every snap, he thought of her.“My mother is my why.”Indiana went 16–0.Beat six Top-10 teams.Won their first Big Ten title since 1945.Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns.Won the Heisman—first in school history.First Cuban-American to ever do it.Then came the title game.Miami. Near his hometown.Fourth-and-4.
