The conversation explores the theme of freedom in identity and the importance of receiving grace. It delves into the idea of the light revealing one's true self, the struggle of flawed men of faith, the process of losing and finding identity, choosing honesty over hiding, simple steps to freedom, and the concept of no condemnation in Christ.TakeawaysFreedom in identityReceiving graceChapters00:00 The Light Reveals You05:14 Simple Steps to Freedom
Today Bro Colton Gideon, a missionary from Spain, shows teaching people to worship is a main reason for missions.
The Wrecking Crew has solid performances and surprisingly decent character work holding it together. The chemistry works—Jason plays the reckless cop, Dave the disciplined Navy SEAL—and you can tell they're having fun, even if Jason flirts with going a little too extra. Bautista is the standout here. The story itself is pretty standard, but I was genuinely surprised by how much time they spent exploring the fractured brother relationship and emotional baggage—it actually lands. Unfortunately, the movie stumbles with predictable twists, over-the-top action logic, and a painfully weak, cookie-cutter villain. Bottom line: I had fun with it, but it's messy and very by-the-numbers. #TheWreckingCrew #MovieReview #ActionMovies #JasonMomoa #DaveBautista #ActionFilm #MovieTalk #FilmReview #PopcornMovie #ActionFans #WeekendWatch

How does Film Noir show us terrible people doing terrible things without endorsing it? Mel and Chas continue to explore what Noir (the genre) can teach writers of all other genres. In particular: how to keep the audience on side of characters doing reprehensible things how to control your audience understanding of those reprehensible actions distinguishing between characters undergoing transformative arcs against discovering their true natures In finding the common craft tools of Noir over 100 years, this Part 2 looks at two modern noirs - DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS (1995) and WOMAN OF THE HOUR (2024) - after Part 1 looked at the classic DOUBLE INDEMNITY and THE LONG GOODBYE.

Some weeks, the hardest part isn't the work — it's trying to rest while the world keeps shaking. We start with a real check‑in on sleep: one of us finally getting a full night, the other staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m., and how the news cycle keeps creeping into our bodies no matter what routines we try. From there, we move into the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents. We talk about the footage, the shifting excuses, and the dangerous idea that brutality equals strength. Flawed or not, people are still owed due process. Shooting someone who's already subdued is a failure of policy and a failure of basic humanity. We also share the concrete actions we're taking — calling senators, pushing back on Trump supporters excuses, and staying engaged without letting outrage take over our nights. Then we pivot to media literacy. A glossy Melania‑focused film is making the rounds, and we break down how it avoids facts while selling a carefully controlled narrative. We talk about why propaganda thrives when people are exhausted, and why clarity and community matter more than ever. And because we all need a place to breathe, we shout out the documentaries and PBS gems that actually inform instead of inflame.If you've been wired, worn down, or trying to balance rest with responsibility, this conversation holds space for both. We're building boundaries, choosing better stories, and turning that restless energy into steady, meaningful action.Thank you for stopping by.

In an unprecedented emergency recording, Kirk Buchner and Evan Nolan—joined by Jack Silverstein, Ron Katz, and Chris Mouradian—react to breaking news that Bill Belichick has been shockingly excluded from the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2026. With results leaking just hours before their scheduled show, the panel dissects how the greatest coach of the modern era could miss first-ballot induction: Was it Bill Polian's behind-the-scenes maneuvering? Flawed 2025 voting rules creating a "zero-sum game" among Kraft, Belichick, and senior candidates? Or a perfect storm of process failure? The conversation expands to baseball's Hall of Fame results (Beltran and Jones in; Pettitte's surprising surge), recent number retirements for Fedorov, Chara, Aguirre and Rose, and tributes to legends lost—including NHL icon Glenn Hall and 49ers great John Brodie. A must-listen deep dive into what this historic miss means for Canton's credibility heading into Super Bowl week.This historic Hall of Fame miss demands accountability.

Ben Ennis and Sho Alli open the second hour by welcoming Charlies Davis, NFL on CBS analyst, to the show! The trio chat about Bill Belichick not being named as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, what it says about the Hall and its voting process, Bill Polian's role in the decision, and the potential impact on Belichick's legacy. They also break down the Bills' decision to hire Joe Brady as head coach and what it could mean for the team moving forward. After the break, they're joined by Michael Traikos (25:45) of The Hockey News to recap Tuesday's Leafs–Sabres game, assess the low point of the Leafs over the past decade, discuss Morgan Rielly's future with the team, and consider the possibility of an in-season coaching change.

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric turn up the heat as they break down the real vs. fake side of the business influencer world. From internet gurus to billion-dollar founders, they ask the tough questions most podcasts avoid—like who's pretending, who's giving bad advice from their ivory tower, and who would actually survive starting over from zero. On this episode we talk about: The difference between a real entrepreneur and an online persona Why so much business advice only works if you're already rich The influencers who couldn't rebuild if they lost everything The fine line between helpful inspiration and harmful messaging How flashy “success stories” twist the meaning of ethics and authenticity Top 3 Takeaways Many creators give advice that sounds profound—but only makes sense once you've already made your millions. Real entrepreneurs lead with integrity and consistency. Their offline life should match their online brand. Before acting on anyone's advice, ask yourself: “Does this apply to my current reality?” Context matters more than charisma. Notable Quotes “It's easy to say ‘just be happy' when you've already got millions in the bank.” “Too many people copy characters they built online and forget who they really are.” “I filter everything through two questions: Is it useful, and does it hurt other people?” Connect with Travis Chappell:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell• Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell• Other (Website): https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is brought to you by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Most people are taught to buy term insurance and invest the rest—but what if that advice is based on a massive misunderstanding of how life insurance actually works? In this episode, we break down why dividend-paying whole life insurance is fundamentally misclassified, how insurance companies really make money, and why Nelson Nash believed banking, not investing, was the missing piece. In WTB Episode 253, we continue our deep dive into Becoming Your Own Banker by Nelson Nash, focusing on mortality tables, underwriting, modified endowment contracts (MECs), and why whole life insurance behaves more like a banking system than an insurance product. We explore: Why term insurance is incredibly profitable for insurance companies How underwriting selects for people who actually live longer Why retirement at 65 was built on a flawed assumption How MEC rules really work (and why they're not the end of the world) Why universal life, variable life, and indexed UL fail long-term How to properly structure a whole life policy for Infinite Banking If you've ever been told "whole life is bad," this episode explains where that belief came from—and why it persists. Key Takeaways: Death is not an if—it's a when, and insurance should be structured accordingly Term insurance is statistically designed not to pay out Responsible, underwritten individuals live longer—and insurers know it Whole life insurance is misclassified, leading to bad financial decisions Infinite Banking works best when cash value is prioritized over death benefit MEC policies aren't catastrophic—but understanding the rules matters Chapters: (00:00) – Why the insurance industry misunderstands its own products (05:50) – Mortality tables, underwriting, and who actually lives longer (10:52) – Retirement at 65 and the Social Security fallacy (18:03) – MEC rules, overfunding, and policy design explained (31:27) – Why universal, variable, and indexed life insurance fail (39:21) – Why Infinite Banking is caught, not taught

A FLAWED TRIBUNAL: INCOMPETENT PROSECUTORS AND CRANKY JUDGES Colleague Professor Gary J. Bass. The tribunal, involving nine Allied nations, suffered from personnel issues driven by President Truman'scronyism. Unlike the selection of Robert Jackson for Nuremberg, Truman appointed Joseph Keenan, an undistinguished and alcoholic figure, as chief prosecutor. Keenan was intellectually outclassed by the international judges and failed to match the gravity of the proceedings. The trial, spanning two and a half years and 50,000 pages of transcripts, was presided over by the Australian Sir William Webb. Webb's abrasive management style and "crankiness" alienated his colleagues and favored the prosecution, undermining the appearance of a fair trial. NUMBER 41933 TOKYO

What can Film Noir teach us about character arcs and audience engagement? In this two part series, Mel and Chas use Noir (the genre) as a lens to interrogate flawed characters. How can characters doing reprehensible things still engage audiences? How can you ensure representation isn't endorsement? And whether these characters undergo transformative arcs, or simply reveal their true natures? Part 1 focuses on two (now classic) noirs: DOUBLE INDEMNITY and THE LONG GOODBYE.

Why would Jesus choose Simon Peter—a flawed, impulsive, ordinary fisherman—to become the foundation of the Church? In this episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, host Bryan Dawson sits down with bestselling author and historian Jerry Lathan to unpack the true, chronological story of Simon Peter, the most relatable and misunderstood figure in the Gospels. Drawing from Lathan's book, You Will Be Peter, this conversation explores why Peter's failures were not a liability—but the point. From walking on water to denying Christ, Peter's journey mirrors the struggles of everyday believers and reveals how faith is forged through doubt, growth, and perseverance. The discussion also examines why modern culture—and Hollywood—often misunderstands Christianity, why authentic faith-based storytelling still resonates with audiences, and how Peter's leadership compares to foundational figures like George Washington. If you've ever felt unqualified, uncertain, or unfinished in your faith, this episode will challenge and encourage you.

Today's episode of STEM-Talk features a timely and wide-ranging discussion with Drs. Michael Griffin and Lisa Porter about NASA's plans to return humans to the Moon, the history of lunar missions, and how China's advances in space technology pose a serious threat to U.S. national security. IHMC founder and CEO Emeritus Ken Ford's interview with Griffin and Porter came 10 days before Griffin appeared before the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space and Technology to give testimony on China's advancements in space and the risks it poses for the United States. “We have squandered a 60-year head start on pioneering the space frontier to a nation that, without reason or provocation on our part, has chosen to become our nation's adversary,” said Griffin in his opening comments to Congress. In this episode, Griffin and Porter explain why it is critical for the U.S. to return to the Moon before China. They also argue that NASA's Artemis III mission to return to the lunar surface and establish a permanent base on the Moon is seriously flawed and should be scrapped. Griffin and Porter are co-founders and co-presidents of LogiQ Inc., a company providing high-end management, scientific and technical consulting services. Griffin's background includes roles as the former Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the Administrator of NASA, the Space Department Head at the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory as well as Chairman and CEO of Schafer Corporation. Porter's background includes roles as the former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the founding Director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Associate Administrator for Aeronautics at NASA. Show notes: [00:04:44] Ken opens the interview by welcoming Mike back to STEM-Talk, who was a guest on Episodes 23 and 134. He also welcomes Lisa to her first appearance on STEM-Talk and asks her to talk about her decision to major in nuclear engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. [00:08:50] Ken asks Lisa why she went to Stanford for a Ph.D. in physics. [00:10:43] Ken explains that Lisa was the founding director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), a department within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Ken asks about some of the challenges the American intelligence community faced that she addressed as director of IARPA. [00:16:15] Ken asks about Lisa's time working for Mike as Associate Administrator for Aeronautics at NASA, and how she came to accept that role. [00:18:07] Ken explains that when Mike became Undersecretary for Defense for Research and Engineering in 2018, he invited Lisa to become the Deputy Undersecretary for Defense for Research and Engineering. Ken asks Mike why Lisa was ideal for that role. [00:21:07] Ken explains that Mike and Lisa are working together again as co-founders and co-presidents of LogiQ Inc., a company that provides scientific consulting services. Ken asks Mike to give a brief overview of LogiQ's work. [00:24:44] Ken shifts the discussion to space exploration, noting that he wants to talk about Mike's 2024 congressional testimony on returning to the Moon, and a paper that he and Lisa published titled “A system architecture for human lunar return.” To begin the discussion, Ken asks why it is so important for us to return to the Moon. [00:29:11] Ken asks Mike and Lisa to explain why it is important for the US to be the first to return to the Moon in the context of China's ambition to send humans to the Moon and establish a permanent lunar presence. [00:33:24] Ken asks Mike and Lisa if they see the cancellation of the Apollo program as a mistake. [00:35:36] Ken asks Mike and Lisa to give an overview of the Artemis program. [00:41:45] Ken mentions the centrality of the Gateway in the Artemis plan, and the problem with making something that is already hard even harder for no good reason. [00:43:28] Ken mentions his concern that the focus on a Mars-forward approach might impede our success with the current Moon missions. [00:46:40] In Mike and Lisa's aforementioned paper, they propose a dual-launch lunar landing architecture, which is simpler than the current NASA architecture and presents lower risks to the crew. Ken asks Mike and Lisa to elaborate on this idea. [00:48:41] Ken asks Mike and Lisa what they think are some of the other technical and programmatic problems with the current Artemis plan. [00:52:31] Ken asks Mike and Lisa what NASA's response has been, as well as the response of others in the human space flight community, to their paper and recommendations for the Artemis mission architecture. [00:54:25] Ken explains that Sean Duffy, the Secretary of Transportation and acting NASA administrator, has opened the door to some additional lander ideas in light of concerns that the two current contractors, Space X and Blue Origin, may not be ready in time for the current Artemis schedule. Ken asks if Lisa and Mike think this is a good idea or if they think it would further complicate matters. [00:59:25] NASA's current budget is around $24.9 billion dollars, approximately 0.4 percent of total federal spending. Ken notes at a time when China is increasing their investment in their space programs and launching several missions, NASA is facing a proposal to cut its funding by 24 percent to $18.8 billion.

[01:08:55] Ken and Mike reflect on Ken's observation that the U.S. is not as serious about space and the Moon as it was during the Apollo years, years that attracted the nation's best and brightest.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore a powerful emotional truth most first responders (Amazon Affiliate) never say out loud: being called a hero doesn't always feel good — or accurate. Police, fire, EMS, and dispatch professionals often get labeled as heroes by the public, the media, and sometimes even their own families. But many responders feel uncomfortable, unworthy, or even resentful of that title. Not because they lack pride in their work — but because the things they've seen, the mistakes they replay, and the trauma they carry don't line up with the shiny narrative. This episode digs into the quiet conflict between the identity the world gives you and the identity you actually live with, and why so many responders struggle to feel heroic despite their sacrifice.
The Flawed Logic of the FTC's Crusade Against Meta — Jessica Melugin — Melugin analyzes the failed FTCcomplaint against Meta, arguing the agency fundamentally abandoned the "consumer welfare standard" governing antitrust doctrine to prioritize competitor protection over demonstrable consumer harm. Melugin emphasizes that the FTC's characterization of Meta's acquisitions as anti-competitive ignores the critical reality that Meta services are provided at zero cost to users, who have demonstrably benefited from continuous service improvements and technological innovation arising from Meta's competitive acquisitions. 1954
PREVIEW — Jessica Melugin (Civitas Outlook) — The Flawed Logic of the FTC's Meta Lawsuit. Melugin argues that the Federal Trade Commission's failed antitrust litigation against Meta Platforms fundamentally abandoned the traditional "consumer welfare standard" governing antitrust jurisprudence, instead prioritizing protection of corporate competitors over demonstrable consumer harm. Melugin emphasizes that because Meta provides innovative digital platforms offering zero-cost access to billions of users, the FTC could not satisfy the burden of proving consumer detriment required to successfully prosecute monopoly charges under established antitrust legal doctrine. Melugincontends that the FTC's regulatory overreach reflects ideological hostility toward successful technology companies rather than coherent consumer protection theory, establishing precedent for prosecuting businesses solely for competitive dominance absent documented consumer injury. 1923 SCOTUS

Rommel was increasingly critical of Hitler's flawed personality and his callousness regarding troop lives, ultimately dying because he was a respected military professional who commanded the loyalty of the Wehrmacht. Patton repeatedly displayed abusive behavior toward subordinates, physically and verbally, dating back to WWI. While this behavior was problematic, it was also integral to his impetuous, risk-taking style that made him a great armored commander. Montgomery earned the lasting respect of his peers, despite interpersonal conflicts, exemplified by Omar Bradley's simple note, "thanks," left on his grave. Retry
