Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. With US President Donald Trump desperately attempting to end the war with Iran, Horovitz reviews the mixed messaging delivered by the US leader as he fawns over the Tehran regime's "nice, new" leaders and signs a "peace" deal that doesn't achieve any war goals but that he may think will keep alive his dream of the Nobel Peace Prize. Horovitz notes that the US readiness to authorize an Iranian role in Lebanon is undermining the unique readiness of the Beirut government to work with Israel toward a diplomatic, long-term arrangement. Rather than disconnecting Iran from Hezbollah -- an explicit war goal -- the US is essentially partnering with Iran regarding Lebanon's future, dooming the Israel-Lebanon talks it is currently hosting in Washington, DC. Our discussion moves on to Tuesday's New York City primaries, in which two virulently anti-Israel Democratic Socialists of America candidates and one progressive Democrat won elections against more established candidates, further bolstering Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his anti-Zionist politics in the rapidly changing city. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates. For further reading: In Trump’s delusions of peace with Iran and efforts to bully Israel, dark echoes of appeasement Trump’s deal is a catastrophic capitulation to Iran’s aggressors, leaves Israel vulnerable and constrained American pro-Israel activists may have just had their worst week ever Mamdani-backed primary sweep further cements anti-Zionist politics in NYC Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Episode 190 is headlined by a major development in Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, as all parties have received approval to move the case toward private arbitration. We discuss what the canceled June 16 hearing, the July 10 status report, and the potential move to confidential arbitration could mean, not just legally but publicly, as questions grow about whether WWE and TKO may eventually test the waters for a Vince McMahon rehabilitation tour. We also break down CM Punk's expected WWE return. Punk has been announced for FanaticsFest on July 19, reports continue to point toward a return on or before the July 6 Raw near Chicago, and Dave Meltzer reports WWE's current plan is for Punk to join the SmackDown roster. We examine the teased Cody Rhodes program, why creative changes delayed his return, and what it could mean for SummerSlam. Rhea Ripley is dealing with issues both inside and outside the ring. WWE revealed that the Women's Champion is being evaluated for a knee injury suffered in Italy, while Ripley also opened up about fans crossing major boundaries, including showing up at her home and one person obtaining her personal phone number after being unable to purchase SmackDown tickets. On the AEW side, we look at ticket sales for Redemption in Montreal and Grand Slam Mexico, with both events showing encouraging early momentum. Redemption has distributed 4,782 tickets and is already approaching AEW's previous Bell Centre number, while Grand Slam Mexico sits at 5,146 tickets distributed, well above AEW's current 2026 attendance average. We also cover NJPW Dominion 2026, where five championships changed hands. Yota Tsuji regained the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, Shota Umino captured the IWGP Global Championship, YOH became the 100th IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, Aaron Wolf reclaimed the NEVER Openweight Championship, and Great O Khan and HENARE captured the IWGP Tag Team Championships. Plus, Gabe Kidd returned and immediately inserted himself into the title picture. The road to G1 Climax 36 is now set as NJPW finalizes its play in matches. We discuss Aaron Wolf's rapid rise, the final qualifying matches, and how the field is shaping up before the tournament begins July 11 in Chicago. John Cena also shares new details on the planned John Cena Classic, including WWE's version of an All Star Game, a new championship, fan voting, cross brand exhibition matches, and the possibility, however unlikely, of one more match. Plus, UFC Freedom 250 becomes one of the strangest stories of the year. The FBI says it foiled an alleged attack plot targeting the White House event, Dana White publicly criticized Josh Hokit's remarks about Michelle Obama, Roman Reigns, Nick Khan, Paul Levesque, Shane McMahon, and Declan McMahon were all in attendance, and Daniel Cormier found himself at the center of a bizarre social media controversy involving Eric Trump. From there, we head to TNA, where the company is undergoing major changes. Tessa Blanchard has been granted her release after reportedly declining an exclusive contract offer, while longtime creative figure Tommy Dreamer has mutually parted ways with the promotion after nearly a decade in leadership and creative roles. We break down the reported wrestling politics involving TNA, WWE, AAA, CMLL, and AEW that may have contributed to Blanchard's departure, discuss Dreamer's exit and his impact on the company behind the scenes, examine the reports linking Road Dogg to a potential role in TNA's creative future, and explore what these departures could mean for the company's direction moving forward. We also preview the week ahead, including Cody Rhodes defending the WWE Championship against Gunther with Sami Zayn as special guest referee, Charlotte Flair facing Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring semifinals, Mercedes Moné battling Hazuki in the Owen Hart Tournament, AEW's continued build toward Forbidden Door, and a loaded slate of action from NJPW, TNA, and more.

Business, business, business! Numbers, numbers... Is this working? Better yet, does anyone get this reference? Never mind... Yes! This week, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage are talking business! Specifically, the bakabois are recapping the latest Association of Japanese Animations symposium where industry leaders talk about the current state of anime.

You might be the best in your industry... but does the market know it? Some of the strongest companies have loyal customers, proven products, and years of expertise, yet still struggle to grow. In this episode, Christin and Amber unpack one of the biggest growth challenges facing founders today: invisibility. They explore why expertise alone isn't enough, how thought leadership bridges the gap, and why founders must evolve if they want to scale. The conversation dives into founder-led marketing, the attention economy, content strategy, sales alignment, and how podcasts and thought leadership can become powerful business development tools when connected to a clear growth strategy. Key Topics Covered Why great companies often lose attention to competitors with stronger visibility The shift from working IN the business to working ON the business How thought leadership builds trust before the first sales conversation Why podcasts, video, and founder content accelerate pipeline growth The importance of aligning sales, marketing, and leadership around one story If you've ever wondered why competitors seem to be getting more attention, why your expertise isn't translating into market authority, or how thought leadership can become a true business development engine, this conversation is for you. You'll walk away with practical insights on visibility, authority, founder-led growth, and how to turn your expertise into a repeatable system that supports sales, marketing, and long-term business growth.

The Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors continue to dominate the NBA offseason as speculation grows that the Bucks superstar could finally be on the move. The guys discuss why many league insiders still view the Heat as one of the frontrunners to land Giannis, despite reports that the Celtics have entered the mix with a potential package centered around Jaylen Brown. Tyler Herro removing Heat-related content from his social media only adds more fuel to the speculation, prompting debate about what Miami would realistically be willing to give up in a blockbuster deal.

Markets continue to grind higher this week, with all three major indexes posting gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.7%, while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained roughly 0.7% as well. Year to date, the Dow is now up 6.5%, the S&P 500 has advanced 8.6%, and the Nasdaq leads the way with an 11.4% return. The Money Wise guys note that despite some midweek volatility, markets responded positively to easing geopolitical concerns and continued to demonstrate resilience. A major topic throughout the show was the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO, which generated significant attention from investors and financial media alike. Much of the discussion centers on the difference between hype and fundamentals. While the SpaceX IPO attracted substantial demand and delivered a strong first-day performance, the team questions whether valuations and investor enthusiasm had gotten ahead of the underlying fundamentals. The conversation also explored the risks of chasing popular investment themes, the importance of understanding what you own, and the dangers of concentrating too heavily in a single company or sector. Beyond the IPO discussion, the team highlighted encouraging inflation data, declining oil prices, and the challenges investors face when attempting to time the market. The broader takeaway was that long-term success comes from discipline, diversification, and focusing on fundamentals rather than getting swept up in the latest market trend. Fundamentals Still Matter The excitement surrounding the SpaceX IPO serves as a reminder that investor enthusiasm can sometimes move faster than the underlying fundamentals. While innovative companies and emerging technologies often capture headlines, long-term investors still need to evaluate factors such as revenue growth, profitability, valuation, and business execution. Popularity alone does not determine an investment's long-term success. Markets can become captivated by compelling stories, but over time, fundamentals tend to play a much larger role in determining value. For investors, maintaining a disciplined approach and focusing on the financial strength of a business can help separate lasting opportunities from short-term excitement. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys discuss 401(k) Rollovers. You don't want to miss the details! Tune in for the full discussion on your favorite podcast provider or at davidsoncap.com, where you can also learn more about the Money Wise guys or take advantage of a portfolio review and analysis with Davidson Capital Management.

The Angels suffered one of their most frustrating losses of the season as they blew a 6-2 lead and fell 9-8 to the Colorado Rockies at Angel Stadium. What looked like a comfortable win turned into a disaster as the Angels pitching staff completely lost the strike zone, issuing an unbelievable 10 walks and handing momentum right back to Colorado. On this episode of the TODDFOX Postgame Show, Todd Fox breaks down the collapse, the bullpen struggles, and how a game the Halos should have won slipped away. We discuss the turning points, questionable pitching decisions, defensive miscues, and the inability of the Angels staff to throw consistent strikes when it mattered most. The offense did enough to put the Angels in position to win, but the pitching staff's lack of command proved costly as free passes continued to pile up and the Rockies took advantage of every opportunity. Todd Fox reacts to the blown lead, the growing frustrations surrounding the team, and what needs to change moving forward. How do you lose a game after leading 6-2? Can the Angels fix their pitching issues before they derail the season? Join the conversation live as Todd Fox breaks down another painful night for the Halos.

Mike returns from Japan and reflects on what makes America worth celebrating as the nation prepares for its 250th anniversary. From booming economic indicators and growing optimism about the future to the contrast between those who proudly embrace patriotism and those who view America with skepticism, Mike examines the cultural divide shaping the country’s political battles. He also weighs in on President Trump’s influence in key Republican primaries, the increasingly personal and bitter tone of campaign season, the release of former Colorado clerk Tina Peters from prison, and a moving tribute to longtime friend Joey Hudson, whose decades of service earned him South Carolina’s highest civilian honor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, hosts Annika Brockschmidt and Roland Meyer sit down with media scholar Roland Meyer to dissect the unsettling intersection of generative AI, right-wing extremism, and the emerging aesthetics of digital fascism. Meyer, a professor at the University of Zurich, breaks down why AI-generated visual culture is uniquely suited for far-right propaganda. Rather than acting as a neutral mirror of reality, these algorithms are structurally nostalgic—relying on past training data to build idealized, hyper-masculine mythologies, clean ethnic landscapes, and weaponized "slopaganda." From American frontier myths to European Islamophobic imagery, Meyer explains how mass-produced, engagement-optimized AI content is being actively weaponized to construct collective, racist fantasy worlds at an unprecedented scale. The conversation pushes past simple deepfakes to examine the darker political economy and Silicon Valley ideologies underlying the modern tech ecosystem. Meyer and the hosts unpack the rise of "slop"—voted Merriam-Webster's word of the year—and how algorithmic distribution networks reward dehumanizing depictions of marginalized groups while turning tech leaders into gladiatorial icons. By exploring how figures like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel's Alex Karp, and Charlie Kirk use these tools, the episode exposes a shared tech-authoritarian vision. This ideology frames AI not as a tool for public good, but as an unregulated, masculine force engineered for white, Western dominance, proving that the struggle over generative AI is fundamentally a battle over who controls the future of reality.

Season 15, Episode 397 revisits research and real-world practice showing movement is more than fitness: it activates the brain, boosts attention, enhances learning, and sustains motivation. Dr. Chuck Hillman's studies reveal how even short bouts of exercise light up brain activity, while Paul Zientarski's Naperville program demonstrates how heart-rate monitoring and purposeful movement improve readiness, recovery, and academic performance. In EP 397: Movement, Motivation, and Brain Activation with Dr. Chuck Hillman and Paul Zientarski, we explore why movement may be one of the most powerful tools we have for improving brain function, learning, motivation, and performance. In this episode, we cover: ✅ Why most children are not meeting the recommended daily physical activity guidelines and what we can do to change that. ✅ How exposing children to a variety of activities helps them discover movement they enjoy—and are more likely to continue throughout their lives. ✅ Why there is no perfect exercise program, and why the best exercise is the one you'll consistently do. ✅ How enjoyment, reward, and dopamine reinforce healthy habits and keep the Motivation Loop repeating. ✅ What Naperville Central High School learned from heart rate monitoring and how recovery impacts performance. ✅ Why peak performance requires both effort and recovery. ✅ How exercise changes the brain, improving attention, learning, memory, and cognitive performance. ✅ The groundbreaking research behind Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain and how it changed the way educators think about learning. ✅ Why movement is not a break from learning—but one of the most effective ways to prepare the brain for learning. ✅ How movement fits into our Phase 2 Motivation Loop, helping transform motivation into action and sustaining long-term performance. The biggest takeaway? Movement isn't just exercise. It's activation. It's preparation. It's performance. When we move our bodies, we activate the brain systems responsible for attention, learning, motivation, and success. The episode highlights practical takeaways: expose children to varied enjoyable activities, prioritize consistency over intensity, use movement as cognitive preparation, and track recovery to protect motivation. Movement becomes a bridge between motivation and sustained performance—improving focus today and long-term brain health tomorrow. Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and on this podcast, we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. Movement, Motivation, and Brain Activation with Dr. Chuck Hillman and Paul Zientarski This week, we continue our journey through Phase 2: Neurochemistry and Motivation, where we've been exploring one central question: What drives sustained effort and forward movement? So far, we've learned that motivation begins with belief and meaning from Bob Proctor[i], is shaped by our thought patterns with Dr. Caroline Leaf,[ii] strengthened through attention and reward with Dr. John Medina[iii], and powered by the brain's dopamine-based motivation system through Dr. Anna Lembke's[iv] work. But today, we arrive at a fascinating question: What happens when we actually move? Because motivation isn't just something that happens in the mind. The brain was designed to work in partnership with the body. And according to our review of today's two guests, one of the most powerful ways to activate attention, learning, memory, and motivation is through movement itself. This week we're revisiting insights from two pioneers whose work helped transform our understanding of movement and learning. First, Dr. Chuck Hillman, one of the world's leading researchers on exercise and brain function, whose groundbreaking research has shown how physical activity improves attention, executive function, learning, memory, and academic performance from EP 123[v] back in April 2021. Next, we will review Paul Zientarski, the former Physical Education Coordinator and football coach at Naperville Central High School, (In Illinois) whose work with the school's innovative Zero Hour PE Program helped put Naperville on the map for extraordinary academic achievement. Alongside his colleagues at Naperville, Paul demonstrated that exercise wasn't simply improving fitness—it was preparing students' brains to learn. Together, Dr. Hillman provides the science, while Paul Zientarski helps to demonstrate what that science looks like in the real world. Their combined work shows us that movement is far more than a physical activity. It is a powerful tool for activating the brain, enhancing learning, improving focus, and supporting the motivation needed for sustained performance. In other words, movement is the bridge between motivation and sustaining our performance. Let's dive in with Dr. Chuck Hillman and discover the science behind The Power of Movement and Brain Activation. CLIP 1: Getting Kids Moving for Life Summary In this clip, Dr. Chuck Hillman highlights a growing concern: the vast majority of children are not meeting the recommended physical activity guidelines. Current recommendations suggest that children should engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each day, including aerobic exercise and activities that strengthen bones and muscles. Dr. Hillman explains that the challenge isn't simply knowing the guidelines—it's finding ways to engage children in movement when many adults aren't meeting the recommendations themselves. This is why childhood is such an important time to expose young people to a wide variety of physical activities, helping them discover forms of movement they enjoy and can continue throughout their lives. Key Takeaways ✔ Most children are not getting enough physical activity. Many young people fall short of the recommended 60 minutes of daily movement needed for optimal physical and cognitive development. ✔ Movement supports both brain and body health. Exercise is not just about fitness—it supports attention, learning, memory, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. ✔ Children need exposure to different activities. Not every child will enjoy the same sport or activity. The goal is to help them discover movement they genuinely enjoy. ✔ Parents and adults model behavior. Children are more likely to be active when the adults around them value and participate in physical activity. ✔ Early habits can last a lifetime. The activities children enjoy today often become the healthy habits they carry into adulthood. Tips to Implement Expose Children to Variety

In this episode, we speak with Conor Madigan, founder and CEO of Aether Fuels, a climate technology company converting abundant waste carbon into low-cost sustainable fuels for aviation and ocean shipping. Madigan is one of the few founders approaching the SAF cost problem from an engineering-first, problem-first standpoint.He discusses:A problem-first approach to company building: Why Madigan began with a blank sheet of paper in 2020, fixed on the problem before choosing a technology, and only then exclusively licensed foundational technology from Chicago-area research institute GTI Energy.Moving beyond the HEFA feedstock ceiling: Why today's dominant SAF process, which converts waste fats, oils and greases, cannot keep pace with projected SAF demand demand as mandates tighten towards 2030.A contrarian bet against cheap hydrogen: Why Aether chose in 2022 to prioritise biogas, biomass and industrial off-gases over CO2-and-hydrogen e-fuels, judging that optimistic hydrogen price forecasts were unlikely to hold.The Aether Aurora technology: How tri-conversion merges two reaction steps into one reactor, how an electrified reactor lifts yield, and how novel catalysts cut the cost of fuel upgrading, all aimed at the capital cost that makes waste-fed plants expensive.Why Singapore won Project Beacon: How a fast-moving partnership with Aster, predictable government policy and ties to Temasek made Singapore the site of Aether's first commercial plant, and what other countries can learn from the model.Discipline on offtakes and the real scaling bottleneck: Why Aether has resisted investor pressure to sign speculative offtake agreements, and why Madigan sees project development and financing, not chemistry, as the constraint on scaling SAF.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Synhelion's Founder and CEO Philipp Furler who unpacked how the Swiss technology company is working to scale synthetic fuels by tackling some of the fundamental cost and infrastructure barriers facing SAF today.

A Third Assassination Attempt:This is the third attempted assassination against President Donald Trump, crediting the Secret Service and law enforcement for stopping the suspect. Attribution of Responsibility to Political Rhetoric:Violent acts are being fueled by inflammatory rhetoric from Democrats, left‑leaning media figures, and progressive commentators, who are normalizing or encouraging political violence. Focus on Specific Statements and Figures:Remarks by Democratic leaders, media personalities, and online commentators that are endorsing or joking about violence, using these examples to argue that such language has real‑world consequences. Characterization of the Suspect:The alleged attacker is described as ideologically motivated rather than mentally ill, portrayed as a “radicalized” individual influenced by left‑wing ideology, academic environments, and media narratives about Trump and Republicans. Praise of Trump’s Response:President Trump acted with restraint and leadership after the incident, calling for unity, peaceful resolution of differences, and respect for free speech, even while enduring hostile questioning from the media. Criticism of Media Conduct:Media outlets and journalists are irresponsibly repeating accusations from the attacker’s manifesto and reinforcing narratives that the speakers believe contribute to further radicalization. Broader Warning About Political Climate:Escalating rhetoric, ideological indoctrination, and tolerance of violent language are creating a dangerous environment where political figures and public events increasingly require heightened security.
