When the story of a movie’s financing and troubled post-production are more compelling than the movie itself, you’ve got problems. And in this case, you’ve got Desert Warrior, a 7th-century, Saudi Arabia-set — and financed — epic starring Anthony Mackie along with Sir Ben Kingsley and Sharlto Copley. Matt and Jordan review the Rupert Wyatt-directed curiosity, and use the film to recommend an American desert-set indie from the early 2000s and another (undeservedly) unloved Rupert Wyatt film. Plus, a listener request for “sad man” movies on the Criterion Channel, and a game that has Matt and Jordan remembering - or trying to remember - summer movies from the year 2012.

CAPTION: 1926 YEMENEdmund Fitton-Brown chronicles the history, structure, and ideological motivations of the Houthi movement in Yemen. Emerging in the mid-1990s as a Zaydi revivalist cult modeled after Lebanese Hezbollah, the group adopted a highly hostile five-part slogan ("the scream") emphasizing anti-American, anti-Semitic, and anti-Israel vitriol. Over decades of conflict, they waged multiple rebellions against former dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh before forming a tactical alliance with him to seize power. Known as relentless fighters who are always up for a battle, the Houthis harbor expansive territorial ambitions in southern Saudi Arabia, aiming to control the holy sites of Mecca and Medina. (5)

Caption: 1521 PERSIATONIGHT CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 8-31-2026Tehran Under Siege: Sanctions, War Fatigue, and the Credibility Crisis of the UNEdmund Fitton-Brown details the bleak economic reality for citizens in Tehran living under severe economic sanctions and a low-intensity conflict. Ordinary residents are reduced to driving for ride-sharing apps like Snapp and begging for food due to skyrocketing prices of staple goods like yogurt. While the regime's elite remain insulated, sanctions have severely strained the general population without driving systemic behavior changes. Furthermore, the discussion examines the declining global credibility of the United Nations. The organization has abandoned its neutrality by focusing excessively on targeting Israel and prioritizing humanitarian relief, which frequently ends up diverted to empower oppressive regimes. (1)Demographic Doom: How the One-Child Legacy and Youth Cynicism Threaten China's FuturePiero Tozzi explores China's severe demographic crisis resulting from the legacy of the totalitarian one-child policy enacted in 1979 and officially lifted in 2015. Despite transitioning to a three-child policy, fertility rates continue to plummet due to youth disillusionment. The gender imbalance has catalyzed widespread female trafficking from neighboring countries, while a high proportion of single-child soldiers in the military creates unique domestic vulnerabilities in conflict scenarios. Young Chinese citizens are increasingly opting out of intense economic exploitation through passive resistance movements like "laying flat" and "letting it rot," directly challenging propaganda regarding national rejuvenation. (2)The Domestic Surge: AI Infrastructure, Aerospace Recovery, and US Manufacturing RenaissanceAlan Tonelson highlights the significant manufacturing revival currently taking place in the United States, driven by key sectors like aerospace and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Boeing's resolution of safety and production issues has revitalized aerospace, while a massive buildout of AI data centers has boosted demand for semiconductors, steel, and electronic equipment. Although trade tensions with Canada persist, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement protects most trade, rendering short-term disruptions minimal. Furthermore, while widespread local protests against data centers have emerged across various states, they have not yet slowed down the overall rapid pace of construction. (3)Middle East Realignment: Iranian Devaluation, Turkish Expansion, and Mediterranean Defense PartnershipsMalcolm Hoenlein covers shifting geopolitical and economic dynamics across the Middle East. Inside Iran, severe inflation, food shortages, and medicine price hikes are suffocating the middle class, prompting harsher internal crackdowns by the regime. Meanwhile, Omani channel shipping flows have partially improved following US-led mine sweeping efforts. In Syria, Turkey is pursuing a quiet military takeover, a move contested by Israel. Additionally, Saudi Arabia is utilizing pipelines to bypass shipping threats, and Finland has joined other nations in defunding the corrupt Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA. Finally, Greece and Israel have solidified a historic $3.5 billion multi-level defense agreement. (4)Cult of Rebellion: Understanding the Resilient and Hostile Ideology of the HouthisEdmund Fitton-Brown chronicles the history, structure, and ideological motivations of the Houthi movement in Yemen. Emerging in the mid-1990s as a Zaydi revivalist cult modeled after Lebanese Hezbollah, the group adopted a highly hostile five-part slogan ("the scream") emphasizing anti-American, anti-Semitic, and anti-Israel vitriol. Over decades of conflict, they waged multiple rebellions against former dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh before forming a tactical alliance with him to seize power. Known as relentless fighters who are always up for a battle, the Houthis harbor expansive territorial ambitions in southern Saudi Arabia, aiming to control the holy sites of Mecca and Medina. (5)Tehran in Limbo: Evaluating Sanctions, Bureaucratic Alienation, and Paths to Regime ChangeJanatyn Sayeh addresses the psychological state of "no war, no peace" in Tehran a year after the September 2025 conflict. The population faces deep war fatigue, compounded by blockades and new sanctions. While sanctions alone cannot topple the regime, they successfully alienate key socio-economic groups. Specifically, lower-level administrative bureaucrats and ideologues are losing their financial incentives and faith in the regime's competence. True systemic change will not happen overnight, but dragging out the process and bringing civil unrest into urban streets could break pro-regime morale and dismantle the kleptocratic elite's hold on power. (6)Deterrence and Covert Diplomacy: Analyzing CIA Trip to Moscow and the North Korean AllianceJohn Hardie analyzes CIA Director John Ratcliffe's unexpected visit to Moscow. Speculation suggests the trip aimed to deter Russian sabotage against NATO, push for a diplomatic settlement in Ukraine, and pressure Moscow to limit support for Iran. Although Russian leader Vladimir Putin remains convinced of victory and resistant to compromises, maintaining deterrence remains critical. Simultaneously, military intelligence reports that North Korea has supplied dozens of short-range ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine, with thousands of combat troops potentially deployed, further complicating the global security landscape. (7)A Shift in Rules: IDF's Aggressive Gaza Targeting, Tunnel Demolition, and West Bank Air PowerSamuel Ben-Ur highlights a shift in Israeli military operations. Following a ceasefire, the IDF returned to pre-agreement rules by striking an active Hamas militant at a Gaza bakery. The military has destroyed roughly half of Gaza's tunnels, with operations continuing on the Hamas-controlled side. Additionally, Israel executed a rare West Bank airstrike to eliminate Kais Betawi, a high-value financial and military operative, signaling strength ahead of upcoming elections. Finally, the discussion outlines the total exclusion of the heavily compromised UNRWA from future Gaza recovery efforts, noting that the United States and Israel will sideline the agency entirely. (8)Higher Education in Crisis: Rising Debt, STEM Brain Drain, and Political PolarizationTom Katsouleas critiques the declining public trust and degrees in American higher education despite high spending. Driven by cost, value, and inclusion issues, students face massive debts that delay major life milestones like marriage and housing. Public universities have increased tuition to compensate for shrinking state budgets, while investing in luxury facilities and high-end services. In graduate education, US research programs depend heavily on international students—primarily from China—for STEM fields. However, rising immigration hostility and aggressive geopolitical competition are reversing this brain drain, while perceived progressive bias further polarizes public trust. (9)The Strategic Vanguard: Hezbollah's Regional Reach, Ceasefire Probing, and Lebanese Shia PoliticsDavid Daoud outlines the strategic dynamics of Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hezbollah is currently launching pinprick probing attacks to test Israel's rules of engagement under ceasefire constraints and US pressure. Within Lebanesepolitics, the Shia community remains structured around a symbiotic relationship between the nationalist Amal movement and Hezbollah, preventing any independent Shia opposition from gaining ground. Beyond Lebanon, Hezbollah acts as the tip of the spear for Iranian expansionism, training regional proxies in rocket, tunnel, and propaganda warfare. This veteran, transnational expertise makes Hezbollah an indispensable regional asset that Iran would find impossible to replace. (10)The Silent Drip: Structural Remedies for America's $40 Trillion Debt CrisisThomas Savidge addresses the economic implications of the United States crossing the $40 trillion national debt threshold, fueled by pandemic spending and mandatory entitlements. This massive debt competes with private capital, driving up consumer borrowing rates and depressing real wages through inflation. To halt this slow economic drip, Savidge proposes a "fiscal constitution." This includes strong constitutional amendments, Colorado-style spending caps tied to population growth and inflation, a silent-approval budget commission to enact spending cuts, and strict regulatory limits on the scope of government authority to prevent accounting tricks.

Karen Silkwood was a mother, a union activist, and a whistleblower who sacrificed everything to expose corporate negligence and protect her fellow workers. Whether her fatal crash was a tragic accident or a targeted hit, the disappearance of her binder of evidence and the tens of pounds of unaccounted plutonium remain two of the biggest unanswered mysteries in American industrial history. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

On March 6, 1983, 21-year-old Cheryl Ann Araujo walked into Big Dan's Tavern in New Bedford, Massachusetts, to buy cigarettes. What followed was a nightmare: a two-hour assault on a pool table while a room of bystanders watched, cheered, and did nothing. When Cheryl chose to report the crime, she became the central figure in the first televised rape trial in American history, where her name and address were broadcast nationwide and defense attorneys subjected her to brutal victim-blaming cross-examinations.

It's Lindsay Clancy jury deliberation day…again. Is this a tipping point for women in America? Let's take a look at the facts. A debate sprang up on X about the hiring of foreign workers. Some people say that foreign workers who are more qualified should be getting jobs in America, while others are saying Americans should prioritize American citizens. Is it a legitimate argument? Or just an attempt to hire workers at lower wages? After midnight shenanigans with former President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro have led to the biggest oil deal in world history. The US gets 65 billion barrels while Venezuela doesn't get another visit from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. It's a win-win. There's no way anyone could be mad about it.

Is Romantasy ruining reality? Allie unpacks the ACOTAR phenomenon, highlighting how the author of the series, Sarah J. Maas, is proud of the smut she writes, but she's even prouder that readers are leaving their boyfriends and husbands thanks to her work. While women should always leave an abusive partner, Allie believes ACOTAR is setting an unrealistic standard of romance for women that is causing them to throw away good relationships and self-improvement. Meanwhile, the Bible showcases far better examples of romance and strong, female protagonists than spicy novellas from BookTok. Allie is also joined by Share the Arrows guest speaker Costi Hinn, who discusses the similarities between Kathryn Krick and his uncle Benny Hinn and the broader dangers of the charismatic movement.

#1,002: Aerin Lauder rarely sits down for conversations like this. As the granddaughter of legendary beauty entrepreneur Estée Lauder, Aerin grew up with a front-row seat to one of the most iconic families and businesses in American beauty — learning firsthand about taste, ambition, family, and what it takes to build something that lasts. Today, Aerin has created a legacy of her own as the founder of AERIN, bringing her distinctive point of view to beauty, fragrance, fashion, interiors, and entertaining. In this episode, Aerin takes us inside the world that shaped her. She shares what Estée was really like as a grandmother, the lessons she taught Aerin about work ethic, beauty, business, and relationships, and how those lessons continue to influence the way Aerin lives and works today. We also get into Aerin's philosophy on living beautifully — how she creates a warm and personal home, her rules for entertaining, thoughtful details that can transform a dinner or gathering, the beauty and home essentials she always keeps around, and why great taste isn't about perfection. Aerin also opens up about building AERIN while carrying one of the most recognizable names in beauty, finding her own identity within an extraordinary family legacy, motherhood and raising two sons, family traditions, balancing ambition with a full personal life, and what she's learned about creating a life that feels both elevated and genuinely lived-in. This is a rare and personal conversation about legacy, taste, family, ambition, and the timeless art of living well.   For Detailed Show Notes visit TheBossticks.com   To connect with Aerin Lauder click HERE   To connect with Lauryn Bosstick click HERE   To connect with Michael Bosstick click HERE   Read More on The Skinny Confidential HERE   Head to our ShopMy page HERE and LTK page HERE to find all of the products mentioned in each episode.   Get your tickets now for Dear Media by Day at http://dearmedia.com/events.   This episode is sponsored by Chilipad by Sleepme Visit http://sleep.me/skinny to get your Chilipad and save up to $255 off a new Chilipad2.0 with code skinny.   This episode is sponsored by Caraway Visit http://Carawayhome.com/skinnypod10 to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.   This episode is sponsored by Invivyd Inc.  Visit http://AntibodiesforAnyBody.com and take the wellness assessment to learn more about helping to support your immune health.   This episode is sponsored by Boll & Branch Get 15% off your first order plus free shipping at http://BollAndBranch.com/skinny with code skinny.   This episode is sponsored by WACOAL Visit WACOAL.com and use code SKINNY at checkout for 10% off your first purchase.

Does everyone need their own lawnmower?For a lot of people, living with your spouse and kids in a standalone house with a white picket fence is, more or less, the American dream. But people aren't as likely to get married and have kids as they used to – and buying a house is more unattainable than ever. But even for those who don't share this particular American dream, alternatives -- like living alone or with roommates you don't really talk to -- can sometimes feel alienating, or like a last resort. But the proponents of communal living say things can be different. Communal living can look like co-living – where people choose to live with others in one house or building – or co-housing – which is a community built around a group of houses. They are intentional communities where people build shared lives together – and they don't have to be blood-related or romantically involved. All Things Considered producer Jordan-Marie Smith wanted to know – what might be driving people to live communally? And can communal living be seen as a viable, first choice adult living situation?Jordan-Marie shares her reporting with Brittany on what she found out.For more episodes on culture and how we build our lives, check out:To be or not to be a parentThe safety and power of knowing your neighborsHow to survive a millennial midlife crisisSupport public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

Jonah Goldberg is not a bigot. Yet, as we all know, there are exceptions to every rule. The French are one of those exceptions. In particular, Jonah sees the cheese-eating surrender monkeys' refusal to embrace America's foremost gift to the civilized world—air conditioning—as an offense against all reason and good sense. Nevertheless, being a fair-minded man, Jonah is willing to give the French a hearing. Having no desire to talk to an actual Frenchy, however, he's turned to the next best thing: an American who lives in France.  Sweat beading on his forehead, Thomas Chatterton Williams joins The Remnant not only to make apology for his adoptive country's backward ways, but to dispense his usual authoritative takes on politics and culture, covering race in France, the Rassemblement National, radical Islam, integration, accents, Woke 1, Jason Arday, 80/20 issues, policing speech, The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan, and Jonah's ideal zombie movie.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we delve into the poignant reflections leading up to the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Host John Solomon discusses the recent House Intelligence Committee hearing held in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, which not only commemorates the heroes of Flight 93 but also serves as a call to action for Americans to anticipate and prevent future terrorist threats, including drone and AI attacks.In a significant legal victory for President Trump, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of proceeding with the construction of the ballroom, a decision that has sparked discussions about its implications. Solomon also highlights the investigation led by Congressman James Comer into the DEA's controversial handling of fentanyl, drawing parallels to the Fast and Furious scandal.The episode features an insightful conversation with Chris Ruddy, founder and CEO of Newsmax, as he discusses the network's recent profitability and shares his thoughts on the current political landscape. Following that, Tim Stewart from the U.S. Oil and Gas Association breaks down the historic oil deal with Venezuela and what it means for American consumers in the long run.Lastly, Libby Emmons from the Post Millennial joins to unpack the latest cultural conflicts, shedding light on the growing divide in American society.

The NFL season begins this week, but America's favorite sport has been on our minds for other reasons recently. New research released in the journal BMJ reveals that 1 in 4 former NFL players in this sample had CTE, a neurodegenerative brain disease caused by repetitive head injuries. Past studies already showed that football players are at high risk for CTE, but this study – which assessed ex-NFL players who died from 2016 to 2021 – revealed that at least a quarter of those former players died with CTE, and the study's lead author says the actual numbers are likely higher. What does that mean for players (and fans) of American football? Short Wave host Nate Rott and NPR sports correspondent Becky Sullivan find out.Interested in more sports science?

The American healthcare and financial systems can feel deeply broken, but you are not powerless. With healthcare costs skyrocketing and deductibles growing larger every year, many people feel trapped when facing a medical procedure. Clark shares an instructive real-world story from The Washington Post, explaining how price transparency (and lack thereof) impacts your wallet and why price-shopping non-emergency medical procedures is essential for protecting your savings. Clark also addresses the growing wave of financial stress facing millions of households now. As inflation strains budgets and credit card default rates rise, debt collectors are taking consumers to court in record numbers. If you or a loved one are dealing with aggressive debt collectors, Clark walks through your legal rights, how to stop harassing calls, and why getting every agreement in writing is non-negotiable. Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the August 31, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit your questions: Ask Clark.

Air Date: 8/29/2026 Today we examine what happens when the state wants to decide whether a person reproduces. A century ago, American courts sanctioned the forced sterilization of women deemed unfit to reproduce. 60 years ago, a communist dictator ran a pronatalist experiment with disastrous results. Now, abortion access is collapsing and a new pronatalist movement is rising to wreak havoc. Full Show Notes Transcript Be part of the show!

Donald Trump wants the American people to be depressed, despondent, defeated, and ultimately disengaged. But We The People MUST NOT accommodate him in that regard. There are so many ways to engage in this fight for American democracy, not all of which are intuitive. But there is a new book that provides a compelling, practical, and layman-friendly blueprint for how to fight against Trump's tyranny . . . and win, titled, "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times, How to Reclaim Your Power, Fight for Freedom, and Reimagine Democracy." Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward, has authored a timely, must read how-to guide for defending democracy. Skye makes the case that defending democracy isn't the job of lawyers or politicians alone - it's a role for every one of us. This from Skye: "I started writing this book when it became undeniably clear, as our history also teaches, that it is not our institutions that will save us - not the courts, not corporate generosity, not the universities, not the media - but it is the people." Democracy is a team sport, and we ALL need to be in the game.

Gaius and Germanicus: The hosts debate whether empires end, comparing modern American dynamics with ancient Rome. Germanicus notes that as Rome expanded, its elites became highly globalized and disconnected from regular citizens, a pattern mirrored by modern Western globalists. When Rome collapsed in the West, the Eastern Empiretransformed cohesively into a Greek-Roman Byzantine state bound by shared religion and language. In contrast, American elites have degraded domestic coherence over thirty years. Germanicus hopes for a similar "renovatio" for America, though he remains skeptical, as Gaius closes discussing rising global sea temperatures. (3)

Arthur Herman, author of Founders Fire, Part One: Herman introduces the "Founder" archetype in American history, characterized by vision, bias toward action, and high risk tolerance. Tracing this from George Washington at the 1787 Constitutional Convention to Rufus Putnam establishing the anti-slavery community of Marietta, Ohio, Herman highlights how early development was shaped by the Patent Act of 1790. In the Gilded Age, titans like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, James J. Hill, and Thomas Edison capitalized on these rights and the expanding railroad network to rapidly scale industries, driving down prices for consumers despite fierce, competitive corporate wars. (1)

Gaius and Germanicus: Gaius references a modern memoir detailing Tehran under bombardment and randomly cruel regime retaliation. He highlights a billboard comparing Israeli-US forces to the defeated Roman Emperor Valeriankneeling before Persian King Shapur I, which stiffens Iranian defiance. Germanicus agrees, analyzing Rome and Persia's superpower deadlock and criticizing narcissistic, uneducated American elites who rely on "shock and awe." He observes that precision bombing fails to break morale. Instead, it unexpectedly binds civilians closer to the state as the regime visibly protects them, normalizing conflict and hardening resistance. (2)

Organizer, writer, political commentator and Philly DSA member James Ray joins Bad Faith to help us understand camps and factions within the DSA as they fight to determine the direction the organization takes following it's successful primary season. As the Atlanta DSA launches a "Run AOC" campaign & Jacobin Magazine publishes reformist manifestos, James Ray represents the left flank of the DSA and one of it's more left-leaning chapters. On using leverage, leaving the Democratic Party, the incongruity of being pro-Palestine and supporting Hakeem Jeffries, & the mystifying reformism of much of the American left.   Find Bad Faith on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.

For all of American history, we have been obsessed with the idea that what you eat is about more than just the purity of the body, it's about a kind of metaphorical purity as well. For this episode, journalist Zoe Rom, co-host of the podcast Your Diet Sucks takes us through our strange history of clean living movements focusing on quacky 19th century characters and their bizarre and sometimes dangerous ideas about health, as well as the outrageous methods they used on their adherents, men like Sylvester Graham, inventor of Graham crackers, and Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, inventor of Corn Flakes. We discuss the biblical origins of clean living movements, what health food purity has to do with Eugenics, and how these ideas have followed us through the many stages of this nation's history, manifesting again in the culture and politics of today.

On October 7, 2001, a US Air Force B-2 Spirit crossed into Afghan airspace as part of the opening campaign of Operation Enduring Freedom. Nearly twenty years later, a C-17 Globemaster carrying the final American soldiers lifted off from Kabul as the Taliban returned to power. Between those two very different aircraft lies the story of America's longest war. What began with a remarkably successful military campaign against the Taliban and al-Qaeda evolved into a two-decade multinational effort encompassing counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, nation-building, and the creation of Afghan security forces. On this episode, Dr. Lance “Boil” Lewis, a retired Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet pilot and historian, helps examine how—and why—that transformation occurred. Tracing the conflict from Afghanistan's geography and history, through the opening air campaign and the long years that followed, to the final chaotic weeks of August 2021, the evacuation of more than 120,000 people, and the people and equipment left behind, it becomes evident that no single decision or individual explains the outcome. Instead, this is the story of two decades of consequential decisions—and the enduring difference between winning battles and achieving national objectives. Music by Slater Aiello.

In today's episode, I sit down with Dave Portnoy, the American businessman behind Barstool Sports, to talk about building a media company from the ground up. Dave shares how he left a stable sales career, launched Barstool as a free newspaper, and handled nearly every part of the business himself. We discuss hard work, timing, audience loyalty, brand voice, scaling without losing identity, and why criticism can sometimes strengthen a community. Dave also explains how organic ideas, fast reactions, and a willingness to keep experimenting helped Barstool grow from a local publication into a major media brand with a fiercely engaged following.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

During the height of Roy Cohn's friendship with Donald Trump, according to the historian Kai Bird, “they were on the phone with each other a dozen times a day.” Bird's new book, “American Scoundrel,” details Cohn's profound influence on Trump—whom he met as a young real-estate heir in the nineteen-seventies—and how Cohn is “haunting” politics in our time. “I had written about Roy Cohn in [previous biographies] as this nefarious, minor, awful figure who was disruptive and divisive and unethical. And I suddenly realized that the establishment that I'd been writing about for forty years is gone. Their values and culture, the politics, the bipartisanship . . . that's all gone,” he tells David Remnick. “Roy Cohn explains something about the dark side of America that I just didn't understand.” They discuss Cohn's early career as a prosecutor and his role as the “mastermind” of the McCarthy purges; his service as a lawyer and fixer for Mafia members, politicians, and celebrities; and an allegation of being involved in sex trafficking. Further reading and listening:  “How Roy Cohn Taught Donald Trump Everything,” by Kai Bird and Susan Goldmark “The Mobster Cosplay of Donald Trump,” by David Remnick “Adapting Oppenheimer's Life Story to Film, with Biographer Kai Bird,” an episode of The New Yorker Radio Hour “Roy Cohn and the Making of a Winner-Take-All America,” by Naomi Fry The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, steps in for Derek Hunter to deliver a hard-hitting analysis of current political shifts and cultural double standards. He reacts to Representative James Clyburn's condemnation of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, using them to highlight the hard left's demand for ideological conformity compared to conservative individualism. The episode also dives into media coverage surrounding the passing of icon Dolly Parton, criticizing partisans for attempting to politicize her legacy. Finally, Dean — whose wife is a “recovering Canadian” —- breaks down escalating trade tensions between the U.S., Canada, and Europe, challenging globalist policies, Canadian trade responses, and foreign reliance on American military protection and markets.

In Episode 495 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with political scientist Henry Farrell, co-author of Underground Empire, about how the United States built its empire, why the hidden infrastructure underwriting American hegemony is now buckling under a compounding series of domestic and foreign policy errors, and what the collapse of the liberal, rules-based order means for the global economy and international security. The first hour examines two recent and consequential events—Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech announcing the breakdown of trade negotiations with the United States, in which he claimed his country was under attack by Washington, and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's Financial Times op-ed declaring an "Economic D-Day," which reads more like a veiled threat to America's allies than a defense of the world Washington sought to liberate in 1944. They then explore the implications of both announcements, how they fit a pattern of behavior by an administration intent on converting the once liberal, rules-based international order into a more overt and darker form of American imperial power, why that process is failing, and what its failure means for the global economy, international security, and the lives of billions of people. The second hour explores the hidden infrastructure that underwrites US hegemony—the financial messaging systems, dollar-clearing networks, and internet surveillance architecture that quietly became instruments of American coercion. They trace how this "underground empire" was slowly built and eventually adopted by much of the world, when it began to be weaponized first against America's enemies and then against its own allies and partners, how that weaponization has corroded American power, and where the evidence of its decline is now unmistakable. They also examine how a world once held together by an establishment of lies and hypocrisies is giving way to one organized around clans, cartels, and naked self-interest, the role technologies like AI and social media play in breaking down and refashioning traditional political coalitions, the deeper sources of Western insecurity—including the risk of a new kind of world war that may arrive embedded in our systems of communication and control—and where Henry still finds grounds for optimism in an otherwise frightening new world.

Joe opens today's show with Shasta County Clerk Clint Curtis and alleged counterfeit ballots already in hand. He doesn't treat it as a local curiosity. He treats it as the latest receipt that we are living in a failed state because the elections that decide everything else were never cleaned up. Teenagers storm a King Soopers in Aurora, Seattle goes after the nonprofit picking up the needles the city itself distributes, and Attorney General Todd Blanche has secured 2020 Dominion machines that reportedly show foreign involvement. Joe's point is blunt: people are screaming that something is broken, the federal government still looks the other way, and until that core issue is forced into the light the country keeps sliding into degradation and lunacy.Joe dissects where culture and policy have already collided. A man disguised as a Muslim interviews Muslims in England and not one of them resists. An Islamic scholar states a Muslim man can have four wives and an unlimited number of female sex slaves. In Dearborn, club-wielding men take the streets against American protesters. A Democratic senator calls illegal immigration a “fake problem.” Joe's warning is direct: this is no longer a distant story. It is here, it is organized, and the people who refuse to name it are the ones demanding ICE be dismantled. Watch the full episode.

This episode starts with a celebration of Dolly Parton's extraordinary generosity and cultural impact, then moves into a serious theological conversation about hypocrisy, leadership, and what makes a church spiritually healthy or toxic. Mike, Suzie, and Tim connect Jesus' warnings in Matthew 23 and Luke 12 to modern church culture, power, and the temptation to perform righteousness rather than live it.Why was Dolly Parton so universally loved, from the left to the right? Should Churches have a tax exempt status or does that malform the Church, structuring it like a business? How are we, today, to relate to the Pharisees and Jesus's warnings about their posture?Timestamps00:00 - Dolly Parton as a cultural and moral icon01:00 - Surprising examples of Dolly's generosity03:00 - Why Dolly is beloved across ideological lines05:25 - The question of doctrinal purity and salvation06:53 - Rob Bell versus Mark Driscoll and the “greater heresy” debate08:08 - Measuring a life by fruit, dignity, and consistency12:05 - Benny Johnson, Rome, and the irony of Christian empire language15:07 - Listener question: can 501(c)(3) status shape toxic church culture?16:40 - Suzie on tax status versus church culture18:28 - When tax structure becomes an opportunity for corruption21:37 - Tim on systemic abuse and why the model feels broken24:41 - Why leadership still matters in the New Testament26:08 - Ephesians 4 and leadership for church flourishing27:33 - Hebrews 13, submission, and the danger of abusive authority31:48 - Spiritual leadership modeled by Jesus, not American hierarchy34:29 - Paul's refusal to build status around himself35:51 - Teaching through the first woe in Matthew 2339:40 - Hypocrisy as “judging under” and split identity41:30 - The yeast of the Pharisees as corrupting influence43:49 - Fear, sparrows, and what Jesus says to disciples under pressure47:38 - Three ways truth gets exposed: life, persecution, and final judgment51:23 - Gehenna as a kingdom image, not a simplistic hell map54:17 - The God who judges also knows and loves you55:23 - Public confession, denial, and persecution56:17 - Tim on work, power, and the American dream as a church model58:38 - Why the point is not only identifying Pharisees, but avoiding becoming them61:06 - Suzie on famous failures, confession, and being found out in mercy63:35 - How secrecy and lack of truth-telling deepen corruptionAs always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

What I learned from reading Distant Force: A Memoir of the Teledyne Corporation and The Man Who Created It by George Roberts and The Outsiders by William Thorndike. Made possible by: Ramp: ⁠⁠https://ramp.com⁠⁠ Applovin: ⁠⁠https://www.applovin.com Vanta: ⁠⁠https://vanta.com/founders Some of my favorite quotes: 0:00 — "He aggressively repurchased his stock, eventually buying over ninety percent of Teledyne's shares." 0:45 — "He was known as The Sphinx for his reluctance to speak with either analysts or journalists." 1:25 — Charlie Munger: "Singleton's financial returns were a mile higher than anyone else's, that they were utterly ridiculous." 2:00 — Buffett: "The heads of many companies are not skilled in capital allocation. Their inadequacy is not surprising. Most bosses rise to the top because they've excelled in an area such as marketing, production, engineering, administration, or sometimes institutional politics." 4:10 — Singleton: "Our conclusion was that the key was cash flow. Our attitude towards cash generation and asset management came out of our own thinking. It is not copied." 4:30 — Buffett: "Henry Singleton has the best operating and capital deployment record in American business. If one took the hundred top business school graduates and made a composite of their triumphs, their record would not be as good as Singleton's." 9:40 — Singleton: "If anyone wants to follow Teledyne, they should get used to the fact that our quarterly earnings will jiggle. Our accounting is set to maximize cash flow, not reported earnings." 10:50 — Singleton believed buying stock at attractive prices was self-catalyzing, analogous to coiling a spring that at some future point would surge forward to realize full value." 11:50 — Singleton: "I don't reserve any day-to-day responsibilities for myself, so I don't get into any particular rut. I do not define my job in any rigid terms, but in terms of having the freedom to do whatever seems to be in the best interest of the company at any time." 14:35 — Singleton: "If everyone's doing them, there must be something wrong with them." (on share repurchases by Fortune 500 companies) 26:30 — Singleton: "Teledyne is like a living plant, with our companies as the different branches and each putting out new branches and growing so that no one business is too significant." 28:35 — Singleton: "We work our heads off to increase our own capability at collecting and promoting the right people. To the extent that we succeed, the whole company will succeed." 32:30 — "What's unique about him is that I'll ask him a question about one of these companies that I've asked him to supervise, and he always knows the exact numerical answer. That's the kind of fellow that you pick who runs a company and does it well." 35:00 — Singleton: "There are tremendous values in the stock market, but in buying stocks, not entire companies. Buying companies tends to raise the purchase price too high." 41:35 — Claude Shannon on Singleton: "He always tries to work out the best moves, and maybe he doesn't like to talk too much because when you're playing a game, you don't tell anyone else what your strategy is." 42:00 — Singleton: "We are not particularly persuaded by quick, temporary gains. We'd rather get something permanent, and that takes time." 44:40 — Munger: "Henry Singleton was the smartest single human being I've ever known in my entire life." 45:00 — Munger: "Henry was a lot smarter, but Warren had thought about investments a lot longer."

Clay interviews David Osborne, author of the 1992 bestseller Reinventing Government, about the challenges of the American public education system. How well are we preparing young people for the mid-21st century? Why is the United States slipping behind many other nations in educational metrics? David has spent the last few years focused on how we can reinvent public education. His new documentary film Turnaround: The Reinvention of the New Orleans Public Education System chronicles the astonishing success of charter schools in historically problematic school districts. How much does the survival of our republic depend on better schools for all Americans? This episode was recorded on April 27, 2026.

The second half of the twentieth century was marked by an extreme increase in America's prison population, from roughly 250,000 inmates in 1940 to well over two million by 2008. At the same time, American readers were devouring mysteries, thrillers, detective novels, police procedurals, and other forms of crime fiction. In this episode, Jacke talks to Theodore Martin about his book, American Literature's War on Crime: Novels and the Hidden History of Mass Incarceration, which explores the connection between crime novels and the making of mass imprisonment in America. PLUS Jacke takes a look at W.E.B. DuBois's famous statement that he "sit[s] with Shakespeare and he winces not." On Sale Now! For more information and to order ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Great Detective!
