Joseph Ellis, Part Two: Ellis covers the war's transition into a global conflict focused heavily on the Caribbean sugar islands. He examines Britain's Southern Strategy, the "dirty war" that devastated the Iroquois confederation, and Cornwallis's entrapment at Yorktown due to French naval intervention. Highlighting crucial post-war moments, Ellis covers Washington's rejection of a military dictatorship at Newburgh, John Jay's "rogue diplomacy" securing the Mississippi border, and financier Robert Morris personally funding soldiers' checks. The discussion ends with the weak Confederation's tragic failure to protect Native American rights or set slavery on a path to extinction. (2)

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 8-21-2026Anatol Lieven discusses the war in Ukraine, highlighting Ukrainian drone and missile attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure like Black Sea resorts and a commercial center. He carefully examines the psychological impact of these infrastructure strikes, noting that while they aim to weaken Russian morale, history shows such strategies rarely succeed. Lieven describes growing domestic resentment over rampant government corruption, which threatens Western aid and has already led to several high-profile dismissals. Finally, he analyzes global energy and food security threats caused by port and refinery strikes, alongside Prime Minister Andy Burnham's struggle to balance costly military commitments with domestic recovery. (1)Peter Berkowitz reflects on the 30th anniversary of Alan Sokal's famous academic hoax, which exposed the intellectual decline within higher education humanities. Berkowitz critiques contemporary humanities departments for their ideological hypocrisy: professors claim objective truth is subjective while simultaneously insisting that their own political claims are absolute truths. He references a report from Vanderbilt and Washington University confirming that significant contingents of humanities faculty in core disciplines subordinate scholarship to political activism. Finally, Berkowitz notes that this progressive ideological capture is concentrated among college-educated voters in elite university towns, warning that treating education as political indoctrination severely perverts liberal education. (2)Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses the alarming rise of authoritarianism in Mexico under President Claudia Sheinbaum and her ruling party, Morena. O'Grady details how the ruling party has systematically consolidated power by taking control of independent electoral bodies, tribunals, regulatory commissions, and the judiciary through politicized popular elections. She warns that Morena's latest effort targets television and radio—the primary sources of information for most Mexican citizens—to effectively censor critical independent media. While O'Grady deeply laments the weak leadership of the official political opposition, she finds hope in the strong pushback and widespread mobilization of Mexican civil society against these state controls. (3)Jonathan Miltimore discusses the ongoing imprisonment of 79-year-old pro-democracy publisher Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong, calling it the world's most overlooked story. Miltimore expresses his deep disappointment that Donald Trumpfailed to raise Lai's case publicly during his Beijing trip, instead repeating CCP rhetoric that Lai caused "bedlam." He describes Lai's deteriorating health inside his tiny, unventilated six-foot cell and urges President Trump to pressure Xi Jinping during his upcoming U.S. visit. Miltimore notes that even certain CCP factions want Lai released to avoid international outrage if he dies in prison, emphasizing that Lai is fully prepared for potential martyrdom. (4)Veronique de Rugy critiques California Representative Ro Khanna's proposal for a "one-time" 5% wealth tax on billionaires. De Rugy explains that several different European countries largely abandoned wealth taxes because they are administratively difficult, generate little revenue, and cause severe economic distortions. Highlighting a debate between Khanna and Mark Cuban, she details how taxing paper wealth completely ignores true liquidity, forcing entrepreneurs to sell shares of private companies or borrow against volatile collateral. De Rugy warns that wealth taxes inevitably expand to target middle-class citizens, ultimately costing states far more in lost income taxes than they retrieve from the wealthy. (5)Rohan Naidu discusses the groundbreaking discovery of "black hole stars" at cosmic dawn using the James Webb Space Telescope. Naidu explains that these infant objects appear as mysterious "little red dots" but possess hybrid properties of both highly luminous black holes and stars. He explains how a young black hole surrounded by dense hydrogen gas absorbs blue and green light, creating a signature "Balmer break" resembling the star Vega. Naidu outlines future research, including finding atmospheric chemical fingerprints like water, and using the newly proposed Celestemission alongside ground telescopes to directly image swirling gas feeding these infant black holes. (6)James M. Scott traces the dramatic, complex final months of World War II in the Pacific. Scott details how Secretary of War Henry Stimson briefed Truman in depth on the secret atomic bomb, and praises General Leslie Groves' masterful management of the Manhattan Project's secret cities. He describes Japan's political division: Emperor Hirohito secretly sought peace while militarists prepared a fanatical defense of Kyushu to force better terms. Scott explains the intense debate over demanding unconditional surrender versus preserving the Japanese monarchy, concluding with the Trinitytest, Potsdam Conference, and Truman's hope that the bomb's shock value would force surrender. (7)Evan Ellis analyzes key regional political and security developments in Latin America. Ellis discusses EcuadorianPresident Daniel Noboa's visit to China to secure security, trade, and economic assistance, and explains how historical visa-free policies turned Ecuador into a major transit corridor for Chinese migrants entering the US. He details Bolivia's ongoing political instability and the dangerous scandals involving Evo Morales. Ellis also covers Chile's border enforcement efforts, Colombia's return to aggressive military operations against cartels following a major earthquake, and the stalled democratic transitions in Venezuela and Nicaragua, where regimes rely on brutal repression and illicit economies to hold power. (8)This fuller eight-file version supersedes the earlier seven-file draft — de Rugy now sits at (5) and everything falls in place without gaps. The Celeste mission appears again in segment 6; the source calls it "newly proposed," which explains why I couldn't verify it earlier, so I've let it stand.

In this barn burner of an episode, Joe dives headfirst into the mounting tensions surrounding election integrity and government transparency. Opening with damning claims from investigative reporter John Solomon regarding intelligence officials withholding key election security details, the show sets a fiery tone against system vulnerabilities and institutional silence. Joe dissects the growing skepticism among the electorate, targeting controversial mechanisms like the ERIC voter roll system while taking aim at the broad apathy and dismissive narratives dominating mainstream discussion.The focus shifts to cyber-security and election operations as expert Mark Cook joins the broadcast to pull back the curtain on voting system vulnerabilities. Highlighting alarming technical capabilities like tabulator hard drive wiping utilities and sharing firsthand observations from recent field investigations in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Cook provides a granular look at the mechanical and procedural risks threatening ballot security. The conversation builds on testimony from election officials, challenging the narrative surrounding automated tabulators and procedural transparency.Closing out the lineup, former Colorado elections clerk Tina Peters steps into the spotlight to discuss her ongoing national campaign for election reform. Fresh off high-level meetings in Washington D.C. with prominent figures like Howard Lutnick and Harmeet Dhillon, Peters shares critical updates on her political trajectory, including a potential return to public administration with an offered position in Shasta County, California. Joe brings the show home by tying together these individual battles into a broader picture of resistance, accountability, and the future of American voting systems.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy discusses the importance of play in childhood and how it shapes children's self worth and resilience. Highlighting a recent statement by Senator Lincoln Fillmore, Dr. Kathy reflects on the nostalgic view of childhood, emphasizing the shift from unstructured play to a more programmed and supervised environment. Fillmore argues that this change is hindering children's development of crucial life skills such as perseverance and self confidence. The episode dives into the balance between safety and the necessity of allowing children the freedom to explore, learn, and grow independently. Join us for valuable insights on fostering independence in children and the critical role of play in their development.

Bill Roggio reflects on the five-year anniversary of the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, highlighting the accuracy of the maps he built that predicted the Taliban's takeover. He describes the withdrawal as disorganized, noting there was zero plan for the Afghan government or military equipment. Roggio specifically criticizes the abandonment of Bagram Air Base, which he believes was the superior evacuation site. He also addresses current Middle East policy, dismissing proposed land blockades against Iran as "fanciful" and impractical. He warns that current strategic failures mirror the indifference seen in Afghanistan. (1)

TABLE OF CONTENTS, THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-17-2026.Bill Roggio reflects on the five-year anniversary of the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, highlighting the accuracy of the maps he built that predicted the Taliban's takeover. He describes the withdrawal as disorganized, noting there was zero plan for the Afghan government or military equipment. Roggio specifically criticizes the abandonment of Bagram Air Base, which he believes was the superior evacuation site. He also addresses current Middle East policy, dismissing proposed land blockades against Iran as "fanciful" and impractical. He warns that current strategic failures mirror the indifference seen in Afghanistan. (1)Bridget Toomey analyzes the reawakening of the Yemeni Civil War, noting that the Houthis are launching fresh offensives to seize the Red Sea coast and the Bab el-Mandeb choke point. While the Houthis claim to target Saudiinterests, their primary focus has shifted to defeating government-backed ground troops. Toomey highlights the extensive use of drone technology by both sides, with the Houthis demonstrating sophisticated capabilities while the Yemeni government adopts modified Chinese systems. She notes that Saudi Arabia remains hesitant to fully re-initiate a large-scale military intervention despite continued Houthi aggression. (2)Janatyn Sayeh explores the "secret plan" of Iranian hardliners to escalate regional conflict and raise costs for the United States. He notes that while the Iranian economy is an existential vulnerability, the regime is willing to ride out sanctions to maintain its Islamist agenda. Sayeh critiques the viability of a U.S. land blockade, citing the difficulty of gaining cooperation from neighbors like Afghanistan and Pakistan. He argues that power is concentrated within the IRGCsecurity establishment rather than just the Supreme Leader, and that internal rifts are secondary to the elite's collective survival. (3)Malcolm Hoenlein provides an overview of the October 27th Israeli election, explaining the complex "list" voting system and Netanyahu's challenges. He discusses the "Board of Peace" negotiations, stressing that the central hurdle remains Hamas's refusal to disarm before Israeli withdrawal. Hoenlein also touches on regional tensions, including Hezbollah's rearming and internal unrest in Iran fueled by economic desperation. Finally, he notes Turkey's significant lobbying efforts in Washington through a new headquarters and a "glorious new front" of diplomatic normalization between Israel and several South American nations including Colombia. (4)Edmund Fitton-Brown argues that the U.S. is "running out of ideas" regarding economic pressure on Iran, labeling a land blockade as far-fetched due to uncooperative neighbors. He suggests that secondary sanctions on Chinese "teapot" refineries are a more practical tool. Regarding Yemen, Fitton-Brown observes that the Houthis have become emboldened by U.S. irresolution and are pushing south to capture the Bab el-Mandeb. He expresses cautious optimism regarding Jared Kushner's diplomatic delegation, noting that experienced figures like Tony Blair are unlikely to be "dupes" for Hamas during negotiations. (5)John Hardie reports on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, specifically Russia's rejection of a Black Sea ceasefire in favor of striking Ukrainian food supplies. He notes that while Russia maintains a maritime blockade advantage, Ukraine is retaliating with high-precision long-range drone strikes against Russian oil refineries and defense plants. Hardie suggests that the Kremlin may be receptive to a moratorium on deep-strike operations because their own infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable. He concludes that Ukraine currently holds a tactical edge in drone technology, aided by Western intelligence to bypass Russian air defenses. (6)David Daoud details the escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, noting that Hezbollah's refusal to disarm has prompted the IDF to prepare for a major operation. Israel is currently conducting "clearing operations" to destroy Hezbollah installations near the Al-Aishiyeh Ridge. Daoud highlights the recent deaths of senior commanders from the elite Radwan and Badr units, which indicates that Hezbollah's operational security remains compromised. Despite these losses, Hezbollah is working with Iran to rebuild its command structure and has attempted to smuggle advanced weaponry, including cruise missiles, into Lebanon. (7)Kamran Bokhari examines the evolution of the Iranian regime, arguing that the Supreme Leader has become a figurehead for the IRGC and security establishment. He suggests that the war has accelerated a process of internal fragmentation, though the elite remains united by a shared fear of collapse. While public uprisings have gone "underground," the regime continues to conduct mass arrests to prevent a critical mass of resistance. Bokhari describes a "post-clergy" era where the military dominates political life, noting that the regime has evolved into a different entity than it was decades ago. (8)Alan Tonelson exposes a massive Chinese tariff evasion scheme, where goods are rerouted through countries like Cambodia and Mexico to bypass U.S. duties. This "scam" is estimated to cost the U.S. up to $26 billion in annual revenue. While the White House is developing AI-based systems to strengthen customs enforcement, there is criticism regarding the lack of direct penalties against Beijing. Tonelson notes that 40 countries are currently complicit in these practices, harming the U.S. manufacturing base. He predicts only modest changes to these trade dynamics through the remainder of the current administration. (9)Samuel Ben-Ur discusses the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza, focusing on Jared Kushner's meeting with Hamas leadership to discuss a 15-point peace plan. Ben-Ur explains that Israel rejected the plan because it lacked a verifiable mechanism for Hamas's disarmament before Israeli withdrawal. He dismisses reports of famine in Gaza as propaganda, noting that international bodies currently view aid levels as acceptable. The conversation emphasizes that Hamas remains committed to the destruction of Israel, making voluntary disarmament a "fiction," while Israeli politics remain divided over the war's prosecution. (10)Richard Epstein critiques Senator Bernie Sanders' characterization of Israeli politicians as "extremists," viewing it as a provocative attempt to shift American Democratic policy. Epstein argues that a two-state solution is fundamentally unstable because an autonomous Palestinian region cannot be prevented from remilitarizing. He contends that proponents of this solution often act in bad faith, ignoring Hamas's history of violated ceasefires. Furthermore, Epstein describes the Democratic Socialists of America as isolationists who focus disproportionately on Israel while ignoring other global aggressors like Vladimir Putin in Ukraine. (11)Jeremy Zakis reports on the looming weather crisis in Australia, where meteorologists predict a "super El Niño" combined with a positive Indian Ocean Dipole. This rare combination is expected to cause extreme drought and record-breaking temperatures in New South Wales and Victoria. Zakis warns that a wet winter has fueled rampant eucalyptus growth, creating a massive volume of flammable oils. These conditions have "primed" the landscape for catastrophic wildfires. Residents are being urged to clear undergrowth immediately, as the upcoming fire season could surpass the severity of the devastating 2020–2021 bushfires. (12)One small fix beyond the log: Badr unit (source had "Bader," segment 7) — the standard rendering of Hezbollah's Badr unit. Janatyn Sayeh applied per your confirmed spelling.

Padraic Scanlan — Multi-Part, Part Two: Padraic Scanlan examines the British government's response to the Great Famine, highlighting how ideological commitments to free trade and to civilizing the poor exacerbated the tragedy. Prime Minister Robert Peel initially attempted relief through public works projects and the secret importation of American maize, known as Indian corn. However, these measures were designed as an employer of last resort, offering wages lower than the lowest private pay to avoid distorting market dynamics. Other officials, such as the Duke of Wellington, remained skeptical of the crisis, viewing reports of mass starvation as political exaggerations by Irish repealers seeking independence. Scanlan details the punitive nature of the New Poor Law, which mandated that relief be provided primarily through workhouses designed to be more miserable than the worst outside conditions. Although the Temporary Relief Act of 1847 eventually allowed for soup kitchens, the experience remained humiliating; the celebrity chef Alexis Soyer's model kitchen in Dublin gave starving people only six minutes to eat. Beyond inadequate food, the peasantry faced deroofing, a practice in which bailiffs pulled the thatch off cottages during evictions to ensure they remained uninhabitable. This systematic displacement, combined with the lack of circulating cash, fueled a volatile environment of outrages and state coercion. Ultimately, the famine led to a 20 to 25 percent decline in the Irish population and remains a central, formative event for the global Irish diaspora. (2)

His story demonstrates the importance of adapting to new circumstances and continuing to move forward. 2. Chronic Pain Affects Every Area of Life Dunbar explained that chronic pain impacts much more than physical health. It can influence family relationships, emotional well-being, career opportunities, and everyday activities. 3.

Cultural studies of the nineteenth century often categorize their subjects as being motivated by one of two opposing notions: a wholehearted embrace of progress or an antimodernist nostalgia. A Perfectionist Impulse: The Art of Stopping Time in the Nineteenth Century (U Minnesota Press, 2026) centers a different kind of response to the period's newly intensified awareness of temporality and history: an obsession with preserving perfection. Engaging a diverse set of case studies, Dr. Ellery E. Foutch explores the era's desire to forestall the march of time and immortalize the fleeting moment through art and technology. Beginning with an investigation of artist and naturalist Titian Peale's butterfly illustrations and specimen boxes, Dr. Foutch assesses the implications of attempts to fix animal life in the “perfect state.” She then turns to Harvard's Ware Collection of Glass Flowers, botanical models meticulously crafted to serve as instructional tools but most famous internationally as a spectacle for tourists. Finally, she scrutinizes the period's preoccupation with the fragility of the human body, examining artistic representations of the legendary bodybuilder Eugen Sandow, widely known during his time as the “Perfect Man.” Highlighting the paradoxical way in which these attempts at preservation ultimately sap the vitality from the organic processes they seek to arrest, Dr. Foutch uses these curious objects to unpack a deep set of cultural anxieties around decay and death. By analyzing objects of mass culture and natural history using methods typically reserved for works of art, A Perfectionist Impulse provides a unique window into how nineteenth-century scientists, technologists, artists, and entertainers rendered a common desire for perfection and immortality. Itself a wondrous collection of attempts to capture the idealized moment, this extensively illustrated book serves as a shining example of our enduring fascination with the ephemeral. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this week's special edition episode of the This Week in Global Development podcast, sponsored by the International Youth Foundation and the Caterpillar Foundation, we examine how shifting labor markets, automation, and artificial intelligence are reshaping the job landscape, leaving millions of young people out of work even as employers face widespread skill shortages. We're joined by Christina Sass, president and CEO of IYF, and Asha Varghese, president of the Caterpillar Foundation and head of corporate social responsibility for Caterpillar Inc., to explore why addressing this transition from education to employment is not just a youth issue, but a critical development priority. The discussion also looks at the power of long-term partnerships in creating systemic, scalable workforce solutions. Highlighting nearly two decades of collaboration through the EquipYouth initiative, and tens of thousands of young people reached, our guests share how combining technical training with essential life skills builds youth agency, resilience, and lasting economic opportunity. The conversation also delves into aligning hiring and training with evolving local and global industry needs, navigating the impacts of AI, and why long-term ecosystem investments outperform short-term grants in achieving sustainable solutions.

Unlocking Weight Loss: 80 Bites and Hormone Balance Revolution 80bites.com Physicalmindinstitute.com About the Guest(s): Joan Breibart is the distinguished owner of the Physical Mind Institute, renowned for her pioneering work in spreading the Pilates movement globally. She initiated the Institute for the Pilates Method in 1991, creating the first Pilates certification program and various educational materials that helped transform Pilates into the leading exercise modality it is today. With a background in publishing at Scholastic and a vast entrepreneurial journey through Creative Book Services and the beauty business, Joan Breibart’s innovative contributions, including nine patents, underscore her dedication to improving health and wellness. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of The Chris Voss Show, host Chris Voss engages in an intriguing conversation with Joan Breibart about her revolutionary approach to diet and wellness through her book, “80 Bites: The Real Science of Hormones, Eat Less, Lose More.” The discussion delves into Breibart’s impressive role in the global Pilates revolution and her data-driven insights into health and wellness that challenge long-standing mantras of diet culture. Essential perspectives are shared on the importance of portion control, hormone balance, and practical wellness strategies. Joan Breibart takes listeners on an educational journey, debunking myths around traditional weight loss concepts and shedding light on the media’s reluctance to report the true state of national obesity levels. Highlighting the ineffectiveness of the conventional “eat healthy, exercise more” mantra, Breibart introduces “80 Bites” as a practical, portion-controlled approach that mimics traditional eating habits from the ’40s and ’50s, focusing on quality meals, and mindful consumption without the need for constant snacking. Her comprehensive insights advocate for a mindful connection between eating practices and hormonal health, utilizing modern science to support lasting wellness. Key Takeaways: Joan Breibart explains that the traditional “eat healthy, exercise more” paradigm is flawed, promoting her “80 Bites” method as a sustainable solution to manage weight and enhance wellness. The shift away from Body Mass Index (BMI) to waistline metrics as an obesity indicator reflects the growing understanding of visceral fat’s impact on health. The episode discusses the surprising truth about past eating habits, countering the narrative of wholesome, year-round fresh eating with the reality of limited portion sizes and fewer exercise routines in previous decades. Joan highlights how portion control and proper eating techniques can reset hormonal imbalances in the stomach, essentially helping reduce needless hunger and snacking. The “80 Bites” app provides practical tools to guide users toward these healthier eating habits by focusing on mindful consumption and nourishment. Notable Quotes: “The real problem is not exercise…the real problem is this mantra that’s been around since the ’60s… ‘eat healthy, exercise more.'” “Eat only what you like, and eat less often. It’s about the quality and the quantity being appropriate for your body.” “The truth is, what has changed is not exercise, but the amount and frequency of our eating.” “When they get to 26 bites and it starts to yell at you…they’re gonna find out, if you’re 70% of America, that you’re just beginning.” “This is not about calories…it’s about quantity, hormones, and hunger.”

Gaius and Germanicus: Gaius invokes the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, highlighting how the Kennedy brothers used caution and trusted advisors to avoid nuclear war. He asks how a modern crisis can be resolved when the "emperor's" word is no longer trusted. Germanicus responds that while the 1960s were characterized by caution, the post-Cold WarU.S. became "vain glorious," viewing itself as "gods of war." He paradoxically argues that Trump's "magnificent immobility" and incompetence may be the only thing preventing a catastrophic military overreaction in the Middle East. By doing nothing, Germanicus suggests the U.S. avoids committing "war crimes" against Iran, even if it means accepting a "massive defeat" as Russia and Iran win on their own terms. (2)JUNE 1961
