In 1965, the US passed the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act, the reason every pack of cigarettes has a warning label informing you about the potentially harmful effects. Since then, numerous regulations, educational drives, and taxation initiatives have made smoking less appealing and harder to do. In the contrarian wellness space, nicotine has become the alkaloid du jour. Forget cigs, this special chemical helps your energy, mood, and, at the far end of the influencer spectrum, treat cancer and autism—without that being medical advice, of course. And while nicotine has been shown to be potentially beneficial for a small range of issues, wellness influencers once again are sprinting the cart in front of the horse.  Mallory DeMille returns to break down the latest wellness buzz.

Hour 1 of https://rushtoreason.com launches with high-stakes energy as John Rush and Andy Peth dive straight into one of the biggest media battles in years: Netflix vs. Paramount in a multi-billion-dollar fight for Warner Bros. Discovery. Their guest, Jordan Goodman—America's Money Answer Man —breaks down the bidding war that could reshape Hollywood. Will this merger reduce creative freedom? Will HBO and Netflix under one roof change everything you watch? But the hour doesn't stop there. The conversation shifts to global tension as Trump positions massive U.S. military power near Venezuela. Is this the beginning of a regime collapse—or a strategic bluff meant to force Maduro out without firing a shot? And how will oil markets respond? Finally, Jordan unpacks new economic shocks: unexpected job losses, a deeply divided Federal Reserve, and a looming Supreme Court decision on Trump's tariffs that could upend the entire U.S. economic strategy. What happens if the Fed cuts too slowly? What if tariffs vanish overnight? And how will all of this hit your wallet? This hour asks the questions everyone else is afraid to raise. HOUR 2 Hour 2 opens with a deep dive into America's energy future as John Rush and Andy Peth welcome Larry Behrens of https://powerthefuture.com. Larry explains why the price of Thanksgiving dinner—and nearly everything you buy—traces back to one force: energy. But if oil prices are dropping, why aren't grocery bills falling just as fast? And how much do mysterious fuel blends, seasonal changes, and decisions made by blue states really cost you? The hour then pivots from energy to politics, exploding into a no-holds-barred critique of Colorado's fractured GOP. Can Republicans win anything—from Congress to the governor's race—when rogue factions sabotage electable candidates? Why are spoiler candidates being propped up in must-win districts? Finally, the conversation intensifies as callers challenge Trump's strategy in Venezuela. Is this saber-rattling, or a long-term geopolitical play designed to weaken OPEC, stabilize oil markets, and strengthen the American economy? And how does Venezuela's sour crude connect to U.S. inflation, housing affordability, and long-term prosperity? This hour pushes listeners to rethink energy, politics, and foreign strategy in ways few shows dare to explore.

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has spent the past few days quietly reshaping the final chapter of his career and his legacy far beyond the pitch. The most consequential move came with his announcement that he has become an investor and global ambassador for the rapidly growing AI answer engine Perplexity. Goal and Cybernews report that Ronaldo has taken an undisclosed stake in the company, recently valued in the tens of billions, and fronted a Perplexity x CR7 campaign built around a dedicated CR7 hub and archive of his career. According to those reports, he framed the decision as a bet on curiosity and innovation, positioning himself not just as a face of the brand but as a long term partner as AI becomes part of how elite performers prepare, learn, and communicate. On social media, he unveiled the deal with promotional clips emphasizing that success comes from asking new questions every day, a line that dominated headlines like Cristiano Ronaldo expands business empire as Portugal legend invests in ChatGPT rival and Ronaldo kicks off AI deal with Perplexity.On the political stage, his recent visit to Washington is still echoing. The SportsTak relays a new social media post from US President Donald Trump praising Ronaldo as an incredible athlete and person and revealing that Ronaldo phoned to thank him for a tour of the White House and Oval Office during a November trip as part of Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salmans delegation. That earlier appearance, covered by outlets such as AOL, placed Ronaldo in an unusually high profile diplomatic photo op alongside world leaders, reinforcing his status as a global soft power asset for both Saudi football and Portugal.Looking ahead to what is widely expected to be his final World Cup, Spanish daily AS and NDTV Sports confirm that Ronaldo and Portugal have been drawn into Group K for 2026, opening on June 17 against the winner of the Jamaica Congo New Caledonia playoff, then facing Uzbekistan on June 23 before a marquee June 27 date with Colombia at Miamis Hard Rock Stadium. AS highlights that Portugal will be based between Houston and Miami, with FIFA effectively handing Miami to Ronaldo rather than Lionel Messi, a decision that could become a defining image of his last World Cup summer. Reports that this will be his final tournament are consistent with past comments about his age but remain, strictly speaking, anticipatory rather than officially re announced in the past few days.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Andrei Sannikov on Lukashenko's latest gambit — and why the West keeps taking the bait

The Naked Pravda

Belarusian pro-democracy activist Andrei Sannikov recently joined Beet editor Eilish Hart for a conversation recorded on the sidelines of the Halifax International Security Forum. The interview focused on the Trump administration's growing engagement with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, including efforts to secure the release of more than a thousand political prisoners. In these negotiations, Lukashenko has leveraged a tactic honed by his regime over decades of authoritarian rule. Sannikov knows the consequences of that system firsthand. He ran against Lukashenko in the 2010 presidential election, was badly beaten by riot police, and served time in prison after protests erupted over the rigged vote. From exile, he has watched Minsk turn prisoner releases into bargaining chips, trading a few high-profile dissidents for sanctions relief and then refilling the prisons with new detainees. Against the backdrop of Trump's second term and renewed U.S.–Belarus engagement, Sannikov warned that Washington risks falling into a familiar trap. While the White House celebrates diplomatic “breakthroughs,” Lukashenko continues to imprison more Belarusians than he frees, raising the unsettling question of whether outreach to Minsk delivers any real progress or merely legitimizes repression. Timestamps for this episode: (3:06) Trump's second term and Belarus relations(9:48) Lukashenko's role in the Ukraine war(11:17) The geopolitical impact of Belarus breaking isolation(15:13) The future of Belarus: Neutrality vs. alliances(21:52) The importance of political prisoners and democratic resistanceКак поддержать нашу редакцию — даже если вы в России и вам очень страшно

Ghislaine Maxwell has initiated a habeas corpus petition in a last-ditch attempt to challenge her imprisonment, signaling a dramatic escalation in her ongoing legal fight. The filing reveals that Maxwell plans to represent herself as she petitions the court for release, an unusual move that underscores both the desperation and the high-stakes maneuvering behind the scenes. While the petition itself has not yet laid out specific legal grounds, the timing is strategic: Maxwell is making this push just as scrutiny around the Epstein network is intensifying and new transparency measures threaten to expose previously sealed material tied to her case.At the same time, the Justice Department is moving to unseal grand jury records and related documents under newly mandated transparency rules, a shift that Maxwell fiercely opposes. Her legal team argues that releasing these materials could jeopardize any future appeal or post-conviction litigation she may pursue. Advocates for survivors, however, view her filing as yet another attempt to stall public accountability and keep critical details of the Epstein network shielded from view.
