Ralph speaks to economist Dean Baker about the hypocrisies behind the supposed Social Security shortfall and Republicans' "waste, fraud, and abuse" panic. Then, Ralph talks to journalist and ocean activist David Helvarg about his new book: Forest of the Sea: The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp.Dean Baker is a Senior Economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, where he authors “Beat the Press,” his regular commentary on economic reporting. He has written several books, including Getting Back to Full Employment: A Better Bargain for Working People, The End of Loser Liberalism: Making Markets Progressive, False Profits: Recovering from the Bubble Economy, and The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer.People will hear big numbers. They'll hear “$300 billion” and they'll go “Oh my God, that's a lot of money. That's money out of my pocket. It's causing the government deficit,” whatever. That's because they haven't given it any context…If we could, in any conceivable world, afford to pay $500 billion to increase the military budget, surely we can afford to pay $300 billion to ensure that everyone gets their Social Security benefits. It's just a case of: put it in context. I'm not going to say it's a small number. It isn't. But it's smaller— $300 billion is smaller than $500 billion, and that's really not a disputable point.Dean BakerWhere [DOGE] had the biggest consequences is with foreign aid. [Musk] just got a big kick out of that— USAID, he just shut it down. He boasted about that. He goes, “Last weekend I fed USAID into the wood chipper.” That's almost verbatim what he said. Now, what this meant was that you have people— and you could find waste in that program just like any other program, but this is a program that provided millions of people with medicine, with nutrition, with healthcare. And suddenly they couldn't get it…And Elon Musk was boasting that he killed that program. That's great. But millions of people, I mean, thankfully, I don't think it's millions yet, but if that program doesn't get restarted or funded somewhere else, you're going to see millions of people lose their lives.Dean BakerSo we're saying we have people on Medicaid that are committing fraud? No one gets a check from Medicaid. What would that even mean? Like, you signed up for Medicaid and you weren't eligible, so that would mean that they might be making a payment to a doctor or hospital that they don't actually have to make because you didn't qualify? I'm sure that happens sometimes but it's not like someone's living high on the hog because they were able to get Medicaid to pay for their doctor's visit when it actually shouldn't have.Dean BakerDavid Helvarg is a journalist and ocean activist. He is the founder and executive director of Blue Frontier, an ocean policy and media group, and producer of Rising Tide: The Ocean Podcast. He has produced more than 40 documentaries for media outlets, including PBS and the Discovery Channel. And he has written several books, including Blue Frontier, The War Against the Greens, and Forest of the Sea: The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp.I've been pushing with my colleagues in journalism the idea of the “blue beat.” The only resource in the ocean not fully exploited at this point is good investigative reporting and narrative storytelling. Because people don't connect with it, a lot of people think the environment ends at the shoreline. And that's really where 95% of the living space on the planet begins.David HelvargPeople at least know that corals are in trouble and they have some sense of what a coral reef is. People don't know that the planet has this other forest crisis—that kelp forests cover an area larger than the Amazon basin, and they're also being impacted by these marine heat waves that are growing every year. And as you add more heat to the system, it gets more energetic, which is why we have more and more extreme storms. I covered Katrina in 2005. I thought that would be a turning point (we had 1,800 people killed and a million environmental refugees). But the propaganda by the oil and gas industry is such that we keep having these disasters from a warming ocean planet, we see the melting of the Arctic ice, and instead of an alarm bell, it became a dinner bell for all the shipping industries and people who want to exploit the oil and gas in the increasingly open Arctic waters. So we're in this crisis point. I'm more frustrated than despairing because we know what the solutions are. It's creating the political will to enact them.David HelvargWhen I started Blue Frontier 20 years ago, the main threats were overfishing and pollution—oil, chemical, plastic, nutrient pollution. Today, that's being overwhelmed by these marine heat waves.David HelvargNews 6/26/26* Our top story this week comes to us from New York City, where democratic socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani has pulled off a stunning hat trick, with all three candidates for Congress endorsed by the Mayor winning their primaries on Tuesday. The most surprising victory is that of Darializa Avila Chevalier, who ousted the powerful incumbent Congressman Adriano Espaillat, head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in New York's 13th congressional district. This primary had turned ugly, with Espaillat's campaign seeking to weaponize anti-Haitian racism in the Dominican community against Avila Chevalier, per the Haitian Times, despite the fact that she is not in fact Haitian. Impressive in another way is the victory of UAW organizer and New York State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez in New York's 7th district. Much has been made of this race being a proxy battle between Mamdani and his onetime supporter, retiring Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, who backed her protégé, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso to succeed her in this seat. Reynoso enjoyed the support of a broad range of New York elected officials – including Velazquez along with New York Attorney General Letitia James, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, and a broad range of unions and civil society groups, most notably the Working Families Party – but was absolutely trounced by Valdez, who won by over 20 points with the support of Mamdani and NYC-DSA. Meanwhile, in the 10th district, Brad Lander won by an even greater margin, outrunning incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman by over 30 points while running on a pro-Palestine platform in the most Jewish congressional district in America. These victories send a clear signal to the sclerotic, ossified leadership of the Democratic Party. The only question now is will they listen.* Beyond the congressional races, DSA won a remarkable number of races at the state level. According to Democratic Left, DSA will send as many as seven new legislators to Albany this cycle, for a total of “four state senators and 11 or 12 members of the state assembly.” As the magazine notes, this means that the “2027-2028 socialist bloc in Albany will be the second largest in a state legislature in U.S. history…behind 20 members in Wisconsin in 1919 and ahead of 14 members in Wisconsin in 1911.” Within New York City, DSA endorsed candidates won seven out of eight races for seats in the state legislature, per NYC-DSA. All told, it was a thunderous victory for the left in New York and raises the clout of Zohran and his compatriots to dizzying heights.* Meanwhile, in Washington DC, NOTUS reports the local DSA has exploded in membership, adding nearly 1,000 new members since this time last year. This growing bloc flexed its political muscle in the recent Democratic primaries, electing DSA members Janeese Lewis George for Mayor and Aparna Raj for the Ward 1 seat on the DC Council, as well as Oye Owolewa for an at-large seat. Axios notes that they are already eying, “two more openings — to fill Lewis George's Ward 4 seat and the at-large seat of Congress-bound Robert White.” If these votes go in DSA's favor, Lewis George could assume the mayoralty with a progressive majority of seven out of 13 members on the Council. Since her victory last Tuesday, Lewis George has emphasized her plan to lower utility costs through “expanding government solar,” and “balcony solar” for apartment tenants, optimizing efficiency at local government agencies and maximizing federal housing grants.* In Maryland, the results for DSA and progressives more generally were not quite so decisive but the left notched key victories nonetheless. DSA endorsed candidate McKayla Wilkes won her primary for the Charles County Commission and incumbent State Delegate Gabriel Acevero won reelection to his seat. Senators Dalya Attar and Nancy King, both centrist incumbents, lost to progressive challengers, per Maryland Matters. Will Jawando in Montgomery County won the County Executive position with broad support from the Maryland political establishment and progressives, while Maryland Senate Majority Leader Bill Ferguson fended off his first real challenge in years only after a last minute pledge to reverse his position on Maryland congressional redistricting. However, in the 5th congressional district, Steny Hoyer protégé and “AIPAC-backed” Adrian Boafo won the primary to succeed his mentor in Congress. According to the Jerusalem Post, “AIPAC poured $5.7 million into his campaign through its super PAC.” Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn came in a distant third place, despite scoring the endorsement of Nancy Pelosi. In short, the left has more work to do in order to build a political machine in Maryland as they have in New York and DC.* The next major contest between the factions of the party will occur next week in Colorado, where Melat Kiros, a DSA-backed progressive challenger born in 1997, is taking on Congresswoman Diana DeGette, who first took office that same year, per Zeteo. According to a poll conducted on behalf of the Kiros-aligned Justice Democrats, she leads DeGette by five points and she has now won the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders. Senator and former Governor John Hickenlooper is also facing a progressive primary challenge from State Senator Julie Gonzales and, according to the polls, he holds but a single digit lead, the Coloradan reports. We will be watching both of these races closely.* Meanwhile in Congress, the Senate has passed a new resolution on Iran, this time directing Trump to “remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by Congress, other than to defend America, an ally or partner from ‘imminent attack,'” according to the Wall Street Journal. The Journal notes that while the resolution is nonbinding, it was previously passed by the House, marking “the first time both chambers of Congress have passed the same measure to curb” presidential power to wage war on the Islamic Republic. The resolution passed 50-48, with the support of Republican Senators Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul. Senators Mitch McConnell and Dave McCormick were absent, and Senator John Fetterman again broke ranks with the Democrats to vote no.* Turning from the Senate floor to the shop floor, the United Auto Workers (UAW) concluded their 39th Constitutional Convention last week, with a momentous vote to divest the union's investments from Israel bonds. UAW's divestment decision is the latest victory in the campaign to disentangle the finances of American organized labor from the state of Israel, following the United Electrical Workers (UE) in 2015 and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in 2023. UAW members also heard from Abdul El-Sayed, the candidate the union has endorsed in the Michigan Senate race. This contentious campaign will not be over until August, but El-Sayed, occupying the progressive lane, has moved into the lead and appears to be consolidating his lead, winning the endorsement of Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen just this week, per the Traverse City Record-Eagle. Van Hollen himself has recently begun hinting that he may seek higher office, recently telling NOTUS that he is “kicking the tires” on a 2028 presidential bid.* Turning to foreign affairs, this week saw the fall of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer, a centrist who was elected Labour Party leader in 2020 following the ouster of leftist Jeremy Corbyn, has held the post of Prime Minister since 2024 when Labour won an historic landslide. Since then however, his personal approval rating and that of the party has cratered, creating space for the rise of the far-right Reform UK party. The BBC reports Starmer will remain in his post until a new leader is chosen from within the party, with the presumptive successor being MP Andy Burnham who recently beat back a challenge in his own seat by a Reform candidate by a large margin. Starmer is now set to be the shortest serving Labour PM in British history, while Burnham is set to become the UK's seventh Prime Minister in the last ten years, both indications of the precariousness of the post-Brexit British political order.* Our final two stories come to us from Latin America. First, in Bolivia, the country's union confederation has maintained a general strike against the right-wing government of Rodrigo Paz for nearly two months over his administration's initiatives to privatize government services and rescind the land reform program instituted over the last several decades of rule by the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). On June 19th, journalist Ollie Vargas reported that the government had blinked and signed an agreement to withdraw these plans in exchange for the unions ending the general strike. However, Vargas notes that “most affiliated unions state that they want to maintain strike until [the Paz government] resigns.”* Finally, in Colombia, the right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella emerged victorious from Sunday's runoff presidential election, defeating leftist Ivan Cepeda, the handpicked successor of sitting President Gustavo Petro, by less than one percentage point. In the immediate wake of the election, President Petro “alleged that Israel interfered” in the election, citing “irregularities in the country's vote counting process and calling for a full audit and recount,” per Drop Site News. However, by Wednesday, Cepeda himself formally conceded, framing his decision to do so as “an act of democratic responsibility, to contribute to harmony, peace and dialogue among Colombians,” Al Jazeera reports. As one of his first acts, Abelardo de la Espriella has committed to reestablishing diplomatic relations with Israel, which had been severed under President Petro.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

What was the Acts 2 church meant to be? And how far have we drifted from it? Continuing the Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle tackles a topic her own audience asked her to address: cliques, popularity dynamics, and comfortable social circles that quietly take root in the very place designed to be their opposite. Drawing on real messages from listeners, teachings from top theologians, and a challenge rooted in Matthew 28, Lisa makes the case that playing church – surrounding ourselves with people who look, act, and think just like us – is more than a social problem. It's a spiritual one. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever felt the gap between what the church is supposed to be and what it sometimes is, and wants to close it. Listen in to learn more: Why Lisa almost didn't make this episode and what changed her mind The listener's message about cliques in women's ministry that started it all What the Acts 2 church was actually designed to be (and what it was never meant to be) How our social patterns have replaced the mission of the church Why cliques have no place in a community called to unity The connection between comfortable Christianity and a lazy faith What is really at risk when we miss the person sitting alone A hard question: Are we living for Jesus or for popularity and comfort?

For many high-achieving women, there comes a moment when the strategies, habits, and mindset that created the level of success they have no longer feels like enough. Not because you've failed. Not because you've done anything wrong. But because your next level is asking something different of you. In this episode of the Monday Morning Mojo Podcast, Anna Gibbs explores what happens when achievement alone is no longer the goal and how to navigate the transition into a more aligned, fulfilling version of success. In this episode, you'll learn: What causes the habits that created your current success to not be the ones that take you where you want to go next How to shift from living by expectations to making intentional choices that align with what you truly want Why many successful women don't have a time management problem, they have an energy management problem How to focus on sustainable performance instead of simply productivity How to identify what deserves your "yes" and what requires a graceful "no" The questions to ask yourself if you're ready for greater alignment, fulfillment, freedom, and clarity If you've been feeling the pull toward something more, not necessarily more achievement, but more meaning, more peace, and more alignment, this conversation will help you pause, reflect, and consider what your next level is truly asking of you.

Alright, if you want a raw, unfiltered elk hunting conversation from a guy who is absolutely obsessed with the game — this is your episode. Brandon Schmitz out of North Idaho joins the show for his very first podcast appearance, and let me tell you, this dude brings it. No fluff, no highlight reel — just honest elk hunting from a guy who has spent the last six years grinding through some of the most demanding country in the West. Brandon didn't grow up with a silver spoon handed to him in the elk woods. His dad lost the fire for hunting after wolves moved into North Idaho and wrecked what used to be some of the best big game hunting in the country. So Brandon had to figure it out himself, and that journey is exactly what makes this conversation so good. From his very first elk hunt — where his cousin smoked a bull that basically walked up to a truck parked in the middle of the road — to going toe-to-toe with grizzly bears, packs of wolves, and rutting bull moose in the same drainage, this guy has seen it all. Six-plus years in, Brandon still hasn't notched his tag, but don't let that fool you. This dude is FINDING elk — like, legitimately locating 20-plus bulls in a single season. The problem he keeps running into is the same one that trips up a ton of DIY hunters: closing the deal. We dig deep into that in this episode, and I think a lot of you guys are going to hear yourselves in Brandon's story. We talk about the mental side of solo hunting, what it really means to "be in striking distance," how to work a bull when your setup goes sideways, the art of building a bull's ego so he's absolutely fired up the next morning, and why sometimes the laziest move IS the right move. We also get into the very real challenges of elk hunting in grizzly and wolf country, the predator management problem that nobody in power wants to touch, and what it's like to be solo in the woods surrounded by apex predators that don't have a healthy fear of humans anymore. This is one of those conversations that reminds you why we love this thing so damn much — even when it's hard. Maybe especially when it's hard.This Episode's Sponsors TricerIf you're not running Tricer gear in the field, you're leaving performance on the table. I'm a huge fan of the RP Bipod — at 10.5 ounces, it is flat-out one of the best hunting bipods on the market.

Stop Trying to Kill the Elk — Start Trying to Stay Close to ItOne of the most useful mindset shifts in this episode: instead of putting the pressure of "I need to kill this elk tonight" on every single move, just focus on getting into striking distance and staying there. Elk hunting rarely goes according to the exact plan, but things tend to happen when you're consistently close. Measure your days by time spent within range of elk, not by whether a shot materialized. This single reframe takes the anxiety out of solo hunting and keeps you in the game longer.2. Let Curiosity Kill the Cat — Silence Is a WeaponWhen a bull hangs up and won't commit, most hunters feel compelled to keep calling. Big mistake. A quiet elk is a suspicious elk — a quiet *location* is a curious elk. When you go dark after a bull responds, you're not losing the conversation, you're winning it. He'll start wondering where you went, and that curiosity will often pull him toward you. Learn to sit on your hands, let the shot clock run a little, and only break the silence if you truly feel him losing interest. When you do break it, try raking over calling — it's less demanding and gives you the chance to move.3. The Decision Fatigue Problem Is Real — Have a Plan and Commit to ItBeing physically tough enough to elk hunt is table stakes. The thing that actually determines success — especially for solo hunters — is the mental discipline to stick to a plan when everything is going sideways. It's easy to leave a drainage after a tough morning and convince yourself the elk blew out. It's harder to say "I committed to this spot for two days and I'm seeing it through." The hunters who string together good at-bats aren't necessarily the ones who work the hardest — they're the ones who make fewer panic decisions and have the confidence (sometimes fake confidence) to stay the course when doubt creeps in.
I didn't ease back into minimalism. I got frustrated enough with the amount of stuff in my home that I just started. After almost a decade of living this way, life still caught up with me. A baby joined the picture, a teenager left for college, and the spaces that once felt calm started feeling heavy again.So I followed the frustration. Here are the first five areas I tackled to simplify my home again, including the most embarrassing drawer in our house, how a kitchen declutter turned into pulling cabinet doors off the hinges, and the spatial constraints approach I use for toddler toys that actually keeps things manageable.Grab a spot in my free masterclass, Break the Clutter Cycle!SEE MORE▷ Instagram▷ FREE: Declutter Your First Room Blueprint ▷ FREE: Clutter Roadmap QUIZ▷ The Mind Your Home Podcast on Apple

Your edge is not how hard you push. It is how fast you recover, reset, and get back on track. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill break down the difference between discipline and rigidity, burnout and misallocated energy, and rest and weakness. From missed workouts and cheat meals to draining team members and recovery as a competitive advantage, this AMMA is a blunt reminder that high performance is not about being perfect. It is about knowing what costs you energy, what restores it, and what you refuse to tolerate. Here's what you'll learn: Why getting off track only matters if you cannot get back on track How to identify the work, people, and habits that drain your energy What it takes to make recovery a competitive advantage instead of a guilty pleasure You do not need to be perfect to stay disciplined.

Most runners are one bad training week away from an injury they never saw coming, and the way they think about shoes, strength, and recovery is probably making that worse. Dr. Drew Short specializes in working with runners at PhysioRoom, and his approach to running injury recovery starts somewhere most people wouldn't expect: months back in an athlete's training log. The culprit behind most injuries isn't a single bad run. It's accumulated load, under-fueling, or a strength gap that quietly grew until something gave out. When the mechanical picture looks clean, Drew digs deeper, sometimes all the way to blood work and nutritional consults. Multiple tendon issues flaring up in different parts of the body at once? That's a systemic story, not a mechanical one. The calf conversation is worth sitting with. Runners stretch it religiously and almost never strengthen it the way running actually demands. The soleus does significant work during each stride, but only when the knee is bent, which is almost never how people train it. A calf that always feels tight is probably asking for load, not length. On the trail running vs. road running question, the differences go deeper than terrain. Strength demands, stability requirements, and pacing strategy all shift in ways that catch road runners off guard when they head onto the trails. And carbon-plated shoes? Both Drew and Dr. Ficks agree they have a place, but earning them matters more than buying them. Quotes "The downside to under-fueling is you're going to hit a brick wall. The downside to over-fueling is maybe a rumbly stomach…I'd rather be on that end of the spectrum." (14:58 | Dr. Drew Short) "You might meet the rep scheme on a calf raise, but whenever you start making it more ballistic and you start using the tendon more, it doesn't like that. The rate of fire is just a lot slower on that side." (25:50 | Dr. Drew Short) "Stiffer tendons or more robust tendons — that's just free energy. If you're able to use that elasticity like a rubber band whenever you hit the ground, that's less that the muscles are having to push off." (33:19 | Dr. Drew Short) "If your calf always feels like it needs to be stretched, honestly, your tendon probably needs some load. You probably do need to be doing some heavy slow resistance through that tendon. Otherwise, you just keep stretching it all day every day." (34:32 | Dr. Drew Short) "If I'm doing a long effort and I can still breathe just through my nose, I know I'm gonna be fine at hour three, hour four."

Rebuilding Life After Stroke: Why You Can’t Go Back – And Why That’s the Point There’s a moment in stroke recovery that almost every survivor reaches. You look at the person you used to be. Your job, your relationships, your body, your identity, and you realise something that nobody prepared you for: you can’t get that person back. The question is what you do next. Greg Graham knows this moment intimately. An AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation), a rare tangle of blood vessels in the brain, changed the course of his life in an instant. What followed wasn’t just physical recovery. It was the hardest work of rebuilding everything from the ground up. What an AVM Stroke Takes From You An arteriovenous malformation stroke happens when a cluster of abnormal blood vessels ruptures in the brain. Unlike ischaemic strokes caused by a clot, AVM strokes involve bleeding into the brain. The consequences depend heavily on where the bleed occurs, and for Greg, the impact was severe. In the immediate aftermath, Greg found himself isolated. Six weeks of recovery largely alone. Relationships fractured under the weight of what had happened. The losses were not just physical; they were existential. The life he had built, piece by piece, was no longer available to him. “I’ve lost everything. I don’t see a way forward.” This is the thought that lives underneath so much of early stroke recovery. It’s not self-pity. It’s the honest reckoning that comes when the gap between who you were and who you now are becomes impossible to ignore. Why “Getting Back to Normal” Is the Wrong Goal The dominant narrative around stroke recovery in hospitals, in rehabilitation settings, in well-meaning conversations with family is built around return. Return to work. Return to independence. Return to your life. But for many survivors, this framing creates a wall they can never climb. The person they’re trying to return to doesn’t exist anymore. The brain has changed. The body has changed. The world has shifted in ways that can’t be reversed. Greg’s insight, hard-won through the kind of experience that can’t be faked, is that rebuilding life after a stroke isn’t about restoration. It’s about construction. Not returning to a previous blueprint, but laying new foundations with the materials you actually have. What Rebuilding Actually Looks Like Rebuilding after a stroke is rarely dramatic. It’s the accumulation of small decisions made under enormous pressure. It’s choosing to engage with rehabilitation when nothing in your body wants to cooperate. It’s finding a reason to get out of bed when the reasons that used to work have stopped working. For Greg, the path through began with a fundamental shift in framing. Instead of measuring recovery by what had been lost, he began to ask a different question: what is actually possible from here? That question is deceptively simple. But it’s the foundation on which real recovery is built. Because once you stop trying to recreate the past, you free up everything you have to build something new. The Identity Question Nobody Asks One of the least-discussed dimensions of stroke recovery is identity. Who are you now? Not in a philosophical sense, in a practical, daily, operational sense. If your work defined you, and stroke took your ability to do that work, who are you on a Tuesday morning? Greg’s experience speaks directly to this. The construction of a new identity after a stroke doesn’t happen overnight. It isn’t a single breakthrough moment. It’s a slow, deliberate process of discovering what you still are and what you’re becoming. This is why Greg Graham calls himself the AVM Superhero. Not because recovery was easy, but because naming what you’ve survived and choosing to carry it with you rather than hiding from it is itself a form of strength. Listen to the Full Conversation Episode 405 of the Recovery After Stroke podcast is available on all major platforms. Greg’s story is one that will resonate with anyone who has faced the impossible question of rebuilding when going back is not an option.

If you're the one everyone depends on… the one who always shows up, solves the problem, and keeps everything moving… when was the last time you checked in with yourself? In this deeply honest episode of the Monday Morning Mojo Podcast, Anna Gibbs unpacks the hidden cost of constantly being the capable one and why so many high-achieving women struggle to set boundaries without guilt. This conversation is not about productivity hacks or learning how to say “no” more often. It's about understanding why successful women in leadership often feel responsible for everyone else's needs while slowly disconnecting from their own. What you'll learn by listening: • The difference between generosity and self-abandonment • How overextending yourself slowly disconnects you from your own needs, clarity, and energy • How to stop from feeling physically uncomfortable and emotionally loaded when you say “no” • The truth about the hidden emotional labor many women in leadership carry every day • How to set healthy boundaries for sustainable leadership This episode is also a preview into the heart of Anna's upcoming book, Getting Back to You, which explores what happens when successful women spend so much time leading everyone else that they slowly lose connection with themselves.

Ben is about to climb into a Piper Apache, which our own blog has definitively declared the official airplane of twin-engine Russian roulette, and he's doing the responsible midlife thing: writing down the flows, chair flying in his hotel room until his shoulder gives out, and showing up prepared anyway. Brian is deep in commercial checkride prep mode, synthesizing seven sources of information into cheat sheets that actually make sense to a human brain, and Ted — man flu survivor — is keeping everyone grounded as only Ted can. The topic tonight is what it actually takes to reenter the atmosphere of training after a gap: the ego check, the clipboard anxiety, the moment you realize you don't understand something and instead of walking away, you just read it again slower.

Have you ever seen one of my favorite movies, Groundhog Day? I feel like that right now as we are trying to report on the global energy crisis, and daily it is the Strait is open, ....closed,,, open,,, closed, .... Dolphins ,,, wow. 1. Iran-U.S. Military Escalation in the Strait of HormuzThe podcast opens with coverage of Iran seizing an oil tanker and attacking U.S. forces in the Strait of Hormuz. Three U.S. Navy destroyers (Truxin, Rafael, and Mason) were transiting the strait when Iranian forces fired missiles, drones, and deployed small boats. The host also mentions a large oil slick near Karg Island, suggesting Iran may be deliberately releasing millions of barrels of oil into the Persian Sea—creating an ecological disaster.2. Iran's Rail Corridor to ChinaDiscussion of the Xi'an to Tehran rail corridor as an alternative to maritime blockades. Cargo train frequency has surged from one per week to one every 3-4 days since April, with freight rates climbing around 40%. However, the host notes this won't significantly replace oil exports since it would take 7,000-8,000 tankers to equal a single VLCC (very large crude carrier).3. Venezuela's Economic and Infrastructure CrisisMultiple stories cover Venezuela's failing electrical grid, which is operating well below capacity and causing widespread blackouts. The host discusses Venezuela's exploitation by China (being forced to sell oil at deep discounts while buying overpriced goods) and rehabilitation costs estimated at $15 billion over three years.4. Venezuela's Stranded Natural Gas DevelopmentShell is exploring development of Venezuela's offshore natural gas resources (Dragon Gas Field with 4.2-4.5 trillion cubic feet) to be routed through Trinidad and Tobago's infrastructure, potentially under OFAC sanctions relief programs.5. Nuclear Energy RevivalConstellation Energy is restarting the Three Mile Island nuclear plant to meet booming AI-powered electricity demand. The host advocates for restarting other nuclear facilities, particularly in California.6. BP's Strategic Pivot Away from Clean EnergyBP is selling stakes in UK carbon capture projects, signaling a return to focus on core oil and gas operations. The host notes this reflects a broader pullback by major oil companies from clean energy spending.7. Virginia's Carbon Market (RGGI)Criticism of Virginia's participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative as a "wealth transfer" that will increase utility bills for ratepayers, comparing it unfavorably to California's bullet train project.8. Critical Minerals Independence from ChinaCrucial Metals Corp has secured approval to acquire a 70% stake in Greenland's Tan Breeze rare earth deposit, featuring low radioactive elements and representing a significant step toward reducing U.S. dependence on Chinese critical minerals.9. Cheniere Energy's Financial CollapseCheniere Energy reported a shocking $3.5 billion net loss in Q1, swinging from a $335 million profit year-over-year, causing shares to plunge 10%.10. Geopolitical Strategy and ControlsThe host concludes with commentary on the need for "Venezuelan-style controls" on Iran to prevent funding of groups like the Houthis, arguing that without such controls, the Iranian IRGC will continue destabilizing activities.1.Iran Seizes Oil Tanker and Attacks US Forces in Strait of Hormuz: Escalation Threatens Fragile Ceasefire and Global Oil Flows2.How Effective is the Iran Back Door Rail Line to China?3.Venezuela's Faulty Power Grid May Set Back Economic Comeback4.Will Venezuela Export Stranded Gas through Trinidad?5.Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant Set to Restart Amid Booming AI Power Demand6.BP to Sell Stakes in UK Carbon Capture Projects, Getting Back to Basics7.Virginia's Carbon Market is a Wealth Transfer the Democrats are Trying to Hide8.US Secures Greenland Critical Minerals9.Cheniere Sags on Surprise $3.5 Billion LossCheck out the Energy News Beat SubStack https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

Returning to healthy habits is a common midlife health challenge. Many women discover that returning to routine after disruption is harder than the disruption itself. In this episode, we explore how to rebuild rhythm gently after travel, illness, or stressful periods. Consistency often begins with small supportive steps. What makes getting back into routine difficult for you?
Have you ever felt like you've drifted away from God? Maybe life got busy with school, work, or responsibilities, and before you realized it, your relationship with God wasn't as close as it once was. If that's you, please know: you are not alone. In this Mini Encouragement episode (under 20 minutes), we answer a listener question from someone in grad school who wants to reignite their faith and reconnect with God after drifting away.
