"When it comes to racing top bulb and bottom bulb (same day or not), why do you think some racers elect to switch between box and no box even when they are clearly better with no box? I watch a few racers channels on YouTube and I will notice they are hitting the tree better with no box better than the box runs. Why not just run top bulb with no box at that point? Ego?

After more than a decade of faithfully chasing his first win, longtime ELITE member Bryan Campbell finally broke through—and he did it on one of the biggest stages possible: a $50,000-to-win event at Mid-Michigan Motorplex.In this episode, Luke celebrates Bryan's incredible accomplishment and shares what happened when Bryan walked the ELITE community through the race, round by round.But the bigger story may be what happened next.Within minutes, the same room went from celebrating one member at his highest to helping another experienced racer regain perspective after a weekend that had completely unraveled.That's one of the hardest parts of ELITE to explain from the outside.It's a community that celebrates the wins, helps you learn from the mistakes and reminds you that none of us does this alone.ELITE isn't a shortcut—and joining won't guarantee your next win is worth $50,000. The work and commitment still have to come from you.But when serious racers surround themselves with the right people, information and support, it can help move the needle.ELITE enrollment closes tonight.

Policies to prevent racism and discrimination are a widely established practice with almost every major employer and, in institutions across Australia. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency – who regulates 900 thousand healthcare workers – has adopted a policy which implements the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. However, several healthcare workers have written to AHPRA challenging the decision.

Episode 196 is on the scene and it's Hampton Heat week at Langley Speedway. Track owner Bill Mullis is in the house and we discuss all the preparations the track is doing for the second leg of the Virginia Triple Crown, why the track is such a hit in the community, whether or not he's going to ride a bull anytime soon and much more.

This week I spoke with Garland Nixon about the growing militarisation of western economies and societies: what is driving it and how is it impacting our lives? We talked about the huge propaganda drive against Russia, the constant talk about war spending and conscription and the multitude of ways in which the talk of existential threats and increased war spending are being normalised. We also talked about the threat that is posed to British imperialism by the anti-genocide movement, which, at its core, is an anti-imperialist movement. The need to suppress such activities explains the efforts the state put into to rig the trial of the Filton Six (who took direct action against the Zionist/Imperialist war machine in Britain) as well as the draconian targeting of health workers who oppose genocide in Britain. It is in this context that Dr Ranjeet Brar and the Right to Protest organisation have launched a judicial review to try to overturn NHS England's decision to adopt the IHRA 'definition of antisemitism' – a device which allows managers to discipline and even fire health workers who express support for Palestine and opposition to Israeli genocide.

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of antisemitism has become one of the world's most influential and contested tools for identifying anti-Jewish hatred. Adopted by universities, public institutions, and governments across the globe, including here in Australia, supporters argue it helps recognise antisemitism in a consistent way, while critics say it can be used to blur the line between antisemitism and legitimate criticism of the state of Israel. Kenneth Stern is one of the lead drafters of the IHRA definition and a former director on antisemitism and extremism for the American Jewish Committee. He says the definition has been "weaponised" in ways he never intended, particularly when it's used to regulate speech or shut down debate on university campuses, the media and elsewhere. He's speaking to SBS reporter Tee Mitchell

In this episode of Here I Am, host Shai Davidai sits down with Jewish advocate, organizer, and "campus mom" Valerie Gerstein, who shares her firsthand experience confronting antisemitism as a graduate student at Columbia University. Valerie, a granddaughter of Holocaust survivors and lifelong Jewish community leader, enrolled in Columbia's nonprofit management master's program in her 40s in 2022, only to witness a dramatic shift on campus after October 7th. She recounts facing anti-Jewish bias in the classroom even before the attacks, including a professor who chose Yom Kippur to assign anti-Israel readings when no Jewish students were present, and details how her complaints were ignored at every institutional level. Valerie ultimately became one of the named plaintiffs in a landmark civil rights lawsuit against Columbia, which recently resulted in a settlement. She discusses the personal cost of speaking up, from losing friends to needing a bodyguard, and the wins secured through the case: scholarships for students who've lived or studied in Israel, adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism, and the appointment of a Title VI coordinator. A powerful conversation about standing proud, showing up for the next generation, and refusing to be silenced.

Proletarian writers | 16 October 2026 This statement was issued on 18 June 2026 by Right to Protest Campaign. Please contact RtPcase@proton.me for media enquiries. Lawyers for the Right to Protest campaign have filed a judicial review claim, challenging the adoption by NHS England of the IHRA framework, which conflates anti-zionism with antisemitism and brands all criticism of Israel as ‘racism'. To claim that questioning the creation of Israel, or condemning the actions of its government, is inherently antisemitic is not only false but is a dangerous erosion of free expression. --------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

Reproduced from Deep Dive Perspectives with thanks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W66oExlFWzw A British surgeon prosecuted, suspended & arrested — not for malpractice, but for criticising Israel. Dr Ranjeet Brar & Ryan D expose how the IHRA definition is being weaponised to criminalise dissent. The IHRA definition of antisemitism was never about protecting Jewish people. According to guests Dr Ranjeet Brar— surgeon, Communist Party of Great Britain (ML) leader, and judicial review applicant — and independent analyst Ryan Dawson, it was designed to conflate a nation-state with an ethnic group, making criticism of Israel's policies legally and professionally dangerous. Brar details being arrested three times at demonstrations, suspended from surgical duties, and facing two General Medical Council fitness-to-practice investigations — all for speaking against Israeli state violence. Dawson documents a systematic pattern of social media de-platforming, financial censorship, and academic suppression coordinated through organisations like the ADL and Canary Mission across NATO and Five Eyes countries. This is not a debate about antisemitism. It's a forensic examination of how states weaponize the language of anti-racism to protect the commission of what both guests call genocide — and what happens to those who refuse to stay silent. ______________________________________________ Subscribe!

This week's Question of the Week comes from Gabe, who asks: I am preparing for my first National Event, not really looking for advice so much as a story. Can you tell me a little bit about your first National Event or your first National Event win?If you've got a topic you want us to tackle, submit it at thisisbracketracing.com/ask. With insights from the TIBR and ELITE brain trust, this episode starts a series of Q&A discussions built around the questions racers are asking right now.
With Ben Jamal standing down from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, now is a good time to discuss its future direction. Survey results and discussion involving Mick Napier, Tony Greenstein, Jackie Walker, Craig Murray, Ranjeet Brar, Jonathan Coulter, Sabby Sagall and Ruth Appleton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiDF9T6qGl4 The IHRA definition of antisemitism labels those who oppose genocide as Racists. The states perpetrating the genocide then criminalise workers for speaking out against Israeli, British and US wars and genocide. THAT is its REAL role: WE MUST CHALLENGE IT! In Britain and across the “western” NATO countries, thousands of doctors, lawyers, teachers, workers and citizens are under legal attack for defending Palestine. I was suspended after criticising Israel's actions in Gaza, and the US-Israeli and British war on Iran. Police arrested me at my home, leaving my children to look after each other. This is the third time I've been targeted by the police and I have faced multiple vexatious complaints and attacks at work - all coming from the state and the zionist lobby working hand in glove with our government. The management are complicit and collaborate in creating this politically repressive environment. In every case of police and workplace harassment, it is the “IHRA definition of antisemitism” that is being used as a benchmark to adjudicate what is “legitimate speech”. The definition was designed as a data gathering tool, and was never intended to become a law, or to be used in this way. Theresa May adopted it for the UK together with Nicola Sturgeon in 2016 without any consultation. The major political parties followed suit (including Plaid Cymru, SNP, Liberal, Labour and the Greens). It was pushed on police forces, schools and colleges, and Wes Streeting has been pushing it actively into the heart of the NHS. So now we have a situation in which existing laws (Public order act, professional regulatory frameworks, university regulations and constitutions) are being interpreted in its light, and the IHRA definition is therefore being “applied” as “law” - to silence legitimate speech on Palestine, and criticism of Israeli, US and British genocide.

The latest review of antisemitism in the health service serves to reinforce the action of the IHRA ‘definition' – ie, it seeks to stigmatise and victimise all those who speak out against zionist racism and genocide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAq8tg8Muok The video above contains information on a legal challenge that seeks to overturn NHS England's adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism. -------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

Ranjeet Brar | 1 May 2026 Dr Ranjeet Brar, general secretary of the CPGB-ML and consultant vascular surgeon, writes on his experience of the enforcement of the IHRA ‘definition of antisemitism' and its deeply troubling consequences. Why has this definition taken on such importance in our society, and how is it being used to criminalise anti-zionist speech, despite not having any legal force? The IHRA ‘definition of antisemitism' seeks to label legitimate criticism of the criminal and genocidal policies and actions of the Israeli state as ‘racist' – and therefore to outlaw the legitimate resistance of the Palestinian people and the anti-imperialist movement which supports that resistance. -------------------------------- Subscribe!

Today on The Daily Driver, I'm sharing the audio version of my latest National Dragster column, “The Great Debate.” This piece dives into one of the most talked-about discussions in sportsman drag racing history, the debate surrounding Scotty Richardson and Peter Biondo. Two of the most accomplished and influential racers the sport has ever seen.

The Bros sit down with new Pro Class 1 Team Outta Pocket/XINSURANCE South, with owner/rookie driver Kevin Birrell and his veteran thorttleman, Billy Moore. This episode was recorded LIVE in Cocoa Beach just after the conclusion of the Awards Ceremony, where an event record number of 89 boats faced some of the most extreme conditions in recent memory at the IHRA's Thunder on Cocoa Beach 2026, presented by Monster Energy. Broken equipment and a few broken spirits filled the race pits and the end of the event. But for some, like Kevin and Billy, they had a BLAST in the turbulent seas of Cocoa Beach. Listen as the guys discuss their experience in the "sporty" conditions and discuss the unfortunate disqualification that erased what looked to be a Saturday victory and the new duo's first checkered flag. This episode is brought to you by Monster Energy. Myrick Coil is the driver for the National Champion Monster Energy / M CON Pro Class 1 team, Speedboat Magazine Test Team Driver, lead shop foreman at Performance Boat Center and a dedicated family man and father of 5.

Support the crowd justice campaign. (Legal challenge against the IHRA's free speech restrictions on Israel- right to protest) https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/leg... The British state is increasingly targeting anti-imperialist voices and our party has been directly subjected to this repression. This is no accident. As imperialism decays, political repression and the suppression of free speech intensify, specifically aimed at silencing anti-imperialist messages and organised resistance. The ruling class deliberately conflates opposition to the colonial project of Israel with hatred of Jewish people. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. The IHRA definition of antisemitism is being weaponised to suppress Palestine solidarity, criminalise dissent, and erode free speech for anti-imperialists. In this interview on Jedal (Ali Alizadeh), Comrade Ranjeet shares his experiences working within the NHS, alongside a history of our party and the work we do.

Today on The Daily Driver, I share one of my favorite memories involving my father and a lesson in belief, perseverance, and passion for racing that has stayed with me for nearly 25 years. From a rain-delayed national event in Topeka to a wounded race car and a matchup against my idol, this story is about more than competition, it's about the unwavering confidence a parent can instill and the impact that belief can have long after the moment has passed.
