John Yoo returns to usher in SCOTUS opinion season, joining James and Steve for some friendly debates on law, politics, and most controversially, more than a few matters of taste. For our democrats in the audience, we've got chatter on California vote counting and Alabama map battles. News from the UK reminds us that the royalists are in even worse shape, as authorities there prove to be as confused in dealing with speech as they are with violence. Thankfully, Scott Pelley brings us a much-needed restorative laugh, and the gang finds something to agree on as they count down to the semiquincentennial. That's right: even petty celebrities can't rain on our Independence Day parade!Sound this week: CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil says goodbye to Scott Pelley while Fox News' Brit Hume finds it all amusing.

In this Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan tackles the growing influence of China in California politics, the ongoing US-Iran conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, and a murder case in the UK that is forcing a national reckoning over two-tiered justice. From the jungle primaries in San Francisco to mined shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf, Bryan breaks down what these stories mean for everyday Americans and where he sees them heading. He also covers the political chaos surrounding the 250th Independence Day celebrations in Washington, the rise of populist movements in Australia and Colombia, and a stunning immigration fraud case out of Indiana. Plus, Bryan reports on the alarming spread of ticks and tick-borne illness across the Midwest, weighs in on Trump's new pick to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and closes with a hopeful reflection on what a trip back home to rural Oregon reminded him about trust, heritage, and what makes America worth fighting for.

When Johnnie Burn first came on Tonebenders in 2022, to talk about his sound work on director Jordan Peele's hit film Nope, it was immediately clear that he was going to be one of our favourite guests. He has since been on many more times, but this first interview is a classic. He discusses designing the film's ominous winds, the "voice" of Jean Jacket and lots more. As a bonus this episode also features a mini-interview with Johnnie about his latest film, Tuner. ______SPONSORS: Sound Ideas works with partners across the media and creative industries to distribute professional sound libraries, and they're always looking to grow their collection.

Week In Review - May 31, 2026In this episode of Groong's Week in Review, hosts Hovik and Asbed examine Armenia's May 28 Independence Day parade as campaign theater, Marco Rubio's push for critical minerals deals, and the strategic risks of TRIPP in Syunik. We discuss how Pashinyan's military parade coincides with Armenian prisoners of war held hostage in Baku, the questionable financing of weapons through $8 billion in external debt, and the broader geopolitical pressures from Russia and Iran as Armenia heads into the 2026 Armenian Parliamentary Election.Topics:May 28 and StatehoodParade as Campaign TheaterRubio's Armenia AgreementsMinerals Without GuaranteesTRIPP Risks in SyunikRussia and Iran PushbackElection Climate and RepressionHosts:Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 553 | Recorded: June 1, 2026SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/553VIDEO: https://youtu.be/oO5kbg6B_Q8#Armenia #May28 #MarcoRubio #TRIPP #Syunik #CriticalMinerals #ElectionFraud #RussiaArmeniaSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

Leftists prove once again that they don't care about America or its values by commemorating the death of George Floyd instead of celebrating fallen soldiers on Memorial Day weekend. The Trump administration has tightened the country's visa rules, announcing that people applying for a green card should go back to their countries to apply, and Indians are not taking the news well.

BEEF We are rolling into the summer demand for things that go on the grill. The most common will be burgers, and I do think we will see burgers to continue higher every week, probably all the way to Independence Day. Production numbers continue in the same volume we've seen for months now. 535K head harvested last week, 527K the week prior. I really don't see that improving anytime soon. We are seeing Middle meats, those ribeyes, tenderloins and strips moving up again after a few weeks' breather.  Grinds still heading higher. Chucks and rounds holding pretty steady, but they could be moving higher if demand for ground beef gets those cuts added to the grinder. We should see some relief on thin meats, briskets and sirloin flap in particular are moving lower and that should continue at least a few weeks. It's an interesting market, I'd still stay ahead of my needs, but there could be some deals to be had.  POULTRY Chicken production continues to outpace last year by almost 3%. Demand is meeting supply but there is plenty of product available. Randoms and wings are actually down for next week, tenders holding steady. I do think this market will turn higher as we get into the heat of summer, but I don't expect any big spikes like we've seen in years past. Looks like chicken is positioned to be on the grill this summer. On the avian flu front, another six new cases affecting 57K birds. No fun losing any birds but this is looking pretty good as the weather heats up.  GRAINS Took a week to figure out we don't have a big grain rally after all. Demand for soy continues strong but doubts about deals with China are pushing all the grain markets lower. Corn almost hit $5 last week, today back to $4.75/bushel.  Soy has leveled off, I would not be surprised to see some decline, not much, but some over the next couple weeks. Wheat is shaping up to have a less than great domestic crop, flour is up a bit and of the three grains we watch, wheat has me watching.  PORK I absolutely did not have bellies for $104 at Memorial Day in my market expectations. I thought last week at $121 was something. I don't know how long this low market will last but it is not something we would usually see this time of year. It's time to buy bacon! Contrary to that, butts and ribs continue to show strength and up a few cents next week. Loins continue to be steady and a great protein value.  DAIRY CME I didn't see the belly market crash, and I don't know if this week is a trend or an event, we'll see what next week brings. Through Thursday's CME close butter is down 6, block is down 6, and barrel also down 6. Let's see where this goes next. Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Barrett Gruber returns for a solo deep-dive into some of the most pressing issues facing American democracy today. In this episode, Barrett reflects on the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's Late Show and what it signals about the growing consolidation of media power in the United States. Is this the end of political satire as we know it — or a wake-up call for civic engagement?Barrett breaks down the concept of "The Great Compression" and how decades of policy shifts have widened the gap between everyday Americans and those in power — a gap that is now, in his words, "a canyon." He explores how political gerrymandering undermines fair representation, why rigged maps raise the question "if your ideas are popular, why cheat to win?", and what citizens can do at the local level to push back.The episode also covers rising global tensions, the state of diplomacy, the Epstein files and the broader demand for political accountability, and why supporting independent journalism and local activism matters more than ever.Whether you're a longtime listener or just tuning in, this episode is a call to stay informed, stay engaged, and refuse to look away — because democracy requires participation, not just observation.Topics Covered:The cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and what it means for media freedomMedia consolidation and its threat to democratic discoursePolitical gerrymandering and redistricting in America"The Great Compression" and the widening wealth and power gapGlobal conflicts, diplomacy, and American foreign policyThe Epstein files and demands for political accountabilityHow to engage locally and protect voting rightsThe Late Show With Stephen Colbert on CBSThe Awakening PodcastBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:BIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLCCheck Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!

Hope you're having a great week — or at least a better week than certain senators and congressmen who thought it would be okay to run against Trump and smear his supporters.Did you see Thomas Massie — the Kentucky congressman who lost his primary after slamming Trump? In his concession speech he said he was unable to reach his opponent because he “was in Tel Aviv.” Running against Trump is part of the democratic process and should be welcomed — using slurs against your opponent is not. The world is turning very dark, very antisemitic. We are here to expose and explain it all.On this week's podcast we bring you the latest about these and other issues — including what they're NOT telling you about the ABORTION PILL.Did you know the FDA is still withholding 125,000 pages of documents about the safety of the pill that is the most common method of abortion in the US? In the podcast we lay out exactly what's being hidden and why it matters.And it's official — girls aren't safe in Australia anymore.An Australian man, pretending to be a woman, has now sued a girls-only app which excluded him, and won in court after court, and been given full access. The courts ruled he can invade female spaces and they're fining anyone who tries to stop him. We break down the full ruling and what it means for women's spaces everywhere.We're joined by the brilliant broadcaster and journalist Mollie Hemingway, who reveals why she thinks Samuel Alito is the most underrated Supreme Court Justice in America. And you will not believe the dangerous behavior of the liberal justices on the court who seemed to do all they could to bring harm to their colleagues in the run-up to the historic Dobbs case that overturned Roe v. Wade. You can buy her book at the link below.And we may hate Harvey Weinstein's politics, but we hate mob justice even more. After his latest trial in New York, it's time to say: free Harvey Weinstein and end the “Believe All Women” madness. We give you the full story of his case and the disturbing details the public hasn't heard. It really is an untold story. When Harvey Weinstein was first on trial we were at the courthouse every day and produced our verbatim podcast series, The Harvey Weinstein Trial: Unfiltered. Please check it out at the link below.And in our “Crazy Headline of the Week” series there's a hot new “intellectual” take on the Frankenstein story — and according to the smart set, the monster isn't who you think it is. He is actually transgender!There really is nobody who can be as stupid as a smart liberal.We were honored to be invited by the Israeli Embassy to their Independence Day celebrations in D.C. The Ambassador delivered a powerful speech that left the room moved — it's this week's inspiration. Stay tuned at the end of the episode to hear the full excerpt. It's a story of loss (his son was killed in Gaza), defiance, and moral clarity.To listen to The Harvey Weinstein Trial: Unfiltered, click here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-harvey-weinstein-trial-unfiltered/id1494504816 To buy Mollie Hemingway's latest book about Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, click here: https://a.co/d/0fxw2Y1G*****************************************************To Donate: https://secure.anedot.com/unreported-story-society/october7_dublinProjects You Need to Check Out: https://unreportedstorysociety.com/our-projects/To read Substack https://substack.com/@phelimmcaleer?r=58t52b&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=stories&shareImageVariant=image Mollie Hemingway SocialsX: @MZHemingway Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MollieZHemingway?https://www.facebook.com/MollieZHemingway?Ann & Phelim SocialsPhelim's X: (https://x.com/PhelimMcAleer)Ann's X: (https://x.com/annmcelhinney)USS SocialsInsta: (https://www.instagram.com/unreportedstorysociety/)Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/TheAPScoop/)X: (https://x.com/AP_Unreported)*****************************************************

We've officially crossed the halfway mark of our Space MAYhem marathon, and the fatigue is real, but the energy is high! We are still pushing through our single-day recording marathon, and for movie number three, we are throwing it back to the absolute gold standard of 90s summer blockbusters: Roland Emmerich's 1996 explosive spectacle, Independence Day.To survive this round of the marathon, we are shaking up a cocktail as on fire as the movie itself: Mackenzie's "Victory Cigar Old Fashioned"- a sweet and smoked take on a classic, that smells exactly like an alien mothership going down in flames.This week, we bask in the peak-90s charisma of Will Smith punching aliens in the face, Jeff Goldblum using a 1995 PowerBook to take down a technologically superior civilization with a literal computer virus, and Bill Pullman delivering one of the greatest cinematic speeches of all time. We laugh at the glorious absurdity of the science, marvel at the practical effects that still look better than most modern CGI, and debate whether there is a single better scene in cinema history than Judd Hirsch complaining about his lawyer while the world ends.If you want to hear us get deeply nostalgic about the peak era of popcorn cinema while we slowly lose our minds on hour six-ish of our recording day, this is the episode for you. We're blending our childhood love for this blockbuster giant with our usual vibes, making this the most explosive stop yet on our Space MAYhem itinerary. Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up. DM us what you want to hear about next!Interested in what we're watching off the pod? Check out Mackenzie or Lemar's Letterboxd!

We pull back the curtain on the resolution of Donald Trump's massive $10 billion lawsuit, mapping out how the negotiations looked less like a legal battle and more like someone "negotiating with himself in the mirror."We break down the math behind a highly symbolic $1.776 billion federal settlement fund and look at the jaw-dropping moment a sci-fi horror plot involving a "resurrection drug" was casually dropped into national headlines. Finally, Barrett brings it back home with a look at the local redistricting chaos and voter suppression tactics keeping South Carolina politics predictably scandalous, finishing with a necessary philosophical plea for collective nonchalance in a fundamentally chaotic world.Key Topics: #PoliticalSatire #TrumpLawsuit #ResurrectionElixir #SouthCarolinaPolitics #VoterSuppression #LegalComedy #CurrentEvents2026The All About Nothing: Check Your Voter RegistrationBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeBlack White Blue in the South | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:ZJZ DesignsCheck out the 4th of July Heart Designs for this Independence Day!

Why is the American dream of a "starter home" disappearing, and why is healthcare debt crushing the federal budget? In the conclusion of our interview with Denny LaVé, Barrett explores the economic and systemic challenges facing Idaho and the nation.Denny breaks down the crisis in rural healthcare clinics, proposing community-focused innovations to bypass a system he argues is designed for profit over people. We also tackle the complex issue of federal land ownership and how it impacts local community development and affordability.

Er ist ein Meister der Apokalypse. Wenn auf der Leinwand die Welt untergeht, steckt oft Roland Emmerich dahinter. Der international gefeierte Regisseur ist bekannt für spektakuläre Katastrophenfilme wie „The Day After Tomorrow“ und „Independence Day“. Wie entstehen Weltuntergangsszenarien fürs Kino? Was treibt ihn an, ganze Städte einstürzen zu lassen und den Himmel in Flammen zu setzen? Und welche Geschichten interessieren ihn heute? Darüber spricht Roland Emmerich, geboren in Stuttgart, aufgewachsen in Maichingen, Karriere in Hollywood, in Kooperation mit dem Schauspiel Stuttgart.

As America approaches its 250th birthday, this episode of Truth Talk Live explores what it really means to be a light in today's culture. Robby Dilmore and Dr. Date the Word Carson challenge listeners to stop asking how America can become more Christian and instead ask how they can make America more Christ-like through everyday actions, prayer, kindness, and personal revival. From conversations with waitresses to praying for pastors and reflecting on the sacrifices of America's founders, the show highlights practical ways believers can live out their faith during these 50 days leading up to Independence Day.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley tackles a common entrepreneurial frustration: hiring seemingly qualified candidates who underperform within their first few months. Josh introduces his proven 30-60-90 day onboarding framework, broken into three phases: observation, independence, and ownership. Each phase features structured communication, daily reports, and objective performance evaluations using a custom GPT tool. Josh emphasizes the importance of clear role profiles, documented SOPs, and milestone-based progression to set new hires up for success and help business owners make informed retention decisions.Bullet Points:Challenges entrepreneurs face in hiring qualified team members who underperform.Introduction of a structured 30-60-90 day onboarding framework.Breakdown of the onboarding process into three phases: Observance, Independence, and Ownership.Importance of clear role profiles and key performance indicators (KPIs) for new hires.Emphasis on frequent communication and structured meetings during the onboarding process.Use of tools and technology to enhance onboarding and performance evaluation.Strategies for assessing new hires' progress and readiness to advance through onboarding phases.Flexibility in the timeline for onboarding based on individual performance.Importance of documenting standard operating procedures (SOPs) for clarity and consistency.The impact of a structured onboarding framework on business scaling and team success.Timestamps:00:00:00 The Problem with HiringEntrepreneurs hire seemingly qualified candidates who underperform, leading to frustration and the belief that they must do everything themselves.00:00:40 Introduction to the 30-60-90 Day FrameworkA structured onboarding framework to set clear expectations and objectively evaluate whether a new team member is succeeding or failing.00:01:11 Podcast and Host IntroductionJosh Hadley introduces himself, his e-commerce background, and the Econ Breakthrough Podcast before reintroducing the 30-60-90 day framework.00:02:19 Why Onboarding FailsMost entrepreneurs fail by having unclear expectations and assuming new hires can immediately perform miracles without proper guidance or systems.00:04:29 The Entrepreneur's Hiring MindsetEntrepreneurs must hire people smarter than themselves for both their weaknesses and strengths to compound business growth effectively.00:05:34 The Importance of a Clear Onboarding SequenceA dedicated onboarding process is crucial for clarity, speed, and objectivity, increasing a new hire's success rate significantly.00:06:41 The Role Profile TemplateBefore onboarding, a clear role profile defining KPIs, success metrics, and tasks is essential to avoid ambiguity for everyone.00:09:49 Using AI to Create Role ProfilesLeverage a custom GPT to quickly generate a comprehensive role profile template, completing 80% of the work for you.00:11:24 Overview of the Three Onboarding PhasesA high-level look at the three phases: Observance (Days 1-30), Independence (Days 31-60), and Ownership (Days 61-90).00:12:21 Phase 1: The Observance Period (Days 1-30)New hires watch, follow, and re-document existing processes to demonstrate understanding before making any changes or executing tasks.00:16:02 Meeting Cadence for Phase 1The communication schedule includes daily 15-minute huddles, a weekly 45-minute one-on-one, and a daily end-of-day report.00:18:50 The 30-Day Checkpoint GPTUsing a custom GPT to objectively evaluate a new hire's performance by answering questions about their impact and ownership behaviors.00:23:11 Phase 2: The Independence Period (Days 31-60)The new hire begins executing tasks in "draft mode," requiring manager approval before anything goes live, with reduced meeting frequency.00:29:25 Phase 3: The Ownership Period (Days 61-90)The team member takes full ownership, executing their role independently while the manager verifies work behind the scenes.00:35:10 Onboarding Framework SummaryA recap of the meeting cadences and work expectations for each of the three 30-day phases in the framework.00:36:33 Milestone-Based ProgressionThe 30, 60, and 90-day timelines are arbitrary; progression is based on milestones and demonstrating readiness to advance.00:39:03 The Role of HR and Pre-Onboarding PrepBefore day one, ensure the role profile is complete and existing SOPs are documented to set the new hire up for success.00:40:07 Why This Framework Matters for ScaleThis system increases your hiring "batting average," ensuring new team members succeed more often, which is critical for scaling.00:41:35 Call to Action and Access to ResourcesJosh asks listeners to review and share the podcast in exchange for access to the presentation slides and resources.Links and Mentions:Role Profile Creation"Role Profile Template": "00:07:38""Custom GPT for Role Profile Creation": "00:09:49"Hiring and Team Evaluation"YouTube Video on Hiring A+ Talent": "00:10:49""Custom GPT Checkpoint": "00:19:29"Process Documentation"Loom": "00:39:30"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00  Have you ever gone through an in-depth interviewing process to find A-level talent? And then you get the right person who has an incredible resume. They've passed all of your interviews and maybe even a case study or test project that you've given them. And then ultimately 30 days within the job, 60 days within the job. They're not performing. And you're frustrated, they're frustrated. And then you chalk it up to say, hey, I think I just need to go do this myself. Nobody can do this better than me. Screw it. With all of this hiring, if you've ever said that yourself, then this is for you. I'm going to walk you through the 30 60 90 day framework that we use to onboard every single new team member onto the team. That allows us to gain clarity not only from their perspective in terms of understanding their role, but from our perspective of understanding what the expectations are at 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days to where we know whether that new team member is winning or losing in their new role, and whether we should keep them, or if it's best to cut ties and free them back up to the marketplace to allow them to go do something that they are going to succeed at.Josh Hadley 00:01:11  Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I'm a man of faith. I'm a husband to a beautiful wife, and I am also the father of four children.

Who was Stanley DeSantis? Why is a 2004 Slipknot tee selling for $2,000? And what does a Daft Punk Roulette residency shirt have to do with how fashion brands sell you a lifestyle in 2026?Sol Thompson and Michael Smith return from their Neuehouse live recording for Episode 3 of Pair of Kings Season 14, continuing the season's deep dive into integrated fashion — the symbiotic loop where brands, hobbies, and ephemera matter more than the clothes. This week the boys go solo on the post-COVID explosion of the vintage band tee resale market and the story of Stanley DeSantis, the late character actor turned licensing impresario whose 90s company Passing For Sane made some of the most collectible all-over print T-shirts ever: X-Files, Aeon Flux, Spawn, Wizard of Oz, Speed Racer, Beavis and Butt-Head, Gone With the Wind, Pink Panther, Independence Day. The man licensed everything.Sol and Michael unpack why vintage T-shirts became fashion's most contested asset class: NYC's 8x vintage multiplier, why Slipknot Iowa-era merch and Daft Punk Vegas Roulette tees command four-figure resale on eBay and Whatnot, single stitch vs. double stitch hems, and the rodent-brain instinct of saving a Dub Tribe Sound System eBay search for years. They revisit the Miu Miu Literary Club through intellectual signaling (Simone de Beauvoir, Fumiko Enchi), the Aimé Leon Dore x Porsche 993 Turbo collab, defend RRL as American integrated fashion's original blueprint, and confront the imposter syndrome of wearing someone else's faded jeans.Other topics: Hedi Slimane Dior Homme resale gatekeeping, Charlie XCX Pop 2 merch as a future grail, the $3,700 Lady Gaga Schott Perfecto, why Akira and Ghost in the Shell tees became NFTs from first principles, scenecore and metalcore history (Suicide Silence, Dance Gavin Dance, The Used, Odd Future), Graceland Ridgewood, Rick Birkenstocks, and a moment for the goat — Stanley DeSantis, 1953–2005.Brought to you by ScentSplit.

Is "normal behavior" the new radicalism? In this solo episode of The Kinda Daily Show, Barrett takes a critical look at the $59 million "Trump Phone" debacle—where massive collections have resulted in zero shipped units—and the psychological defense mechanisms used to deflect critics.We balance the political circus with a sincere tribute to the passing of Bobby Cox, discussing his legendary impact on the Atlanta Braves and the world of sports. The conversation then shifts to the kitchen-table issues defining the month: the global oil supply chain driving up gas prices and the surgical precision of gerrymandering in South Carolina. Barrett provides an insightful analysis of how these maps impact voter engagement and why understanding these "hidden codes" of politics is essential for every citizen.Key Topics: #TrumpPhone #BobbyCox #Gerrymandering #SCPolitics #GasPrices #PoliticalAnalysis #KindaDailyShow #VoterEngagementThe All About Nothing: Check Your Voter RegistrationThe Preach Jacobs Podcast | Columbia's AmbassadorBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeBlack White Blue in the South | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:BIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLCZJZ DesignsCheck out the 4th of July Heart Designs for this Independence Day!

Can a "blue-collar" candidate with a history of trauma change the soul of the U.S. Senate? In Episode 306, Barrett interviews Denny LaVé about his non-traditional path from surviving childhood trauma to running for office in Idaho.We dive deep into the neurobiology of trauma, discussing how "hurt people hurt people" and why destigmatizing mental health is a critical mission for conservative and faith-based spaces alike. Denny shares his unique perspective on healthcare reform, calling out the inefficiencies and profiteering within the system, and explains how his time in monastic living shaped his views on character and leadership. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, exploring the intersection of personal growth, Christian love, and societal responsibility.Key Topics: #MentalHealth #IdahoSenate #DennyLaVe #HealthcareCosts #TraumaRecovery #FaithAndPolitics #BlueCollarPolitics #AllAboutNothingPodcastBlue-Collar Blessed: A Humble Life in Idaho | AmazonDenny LaVe | U.S. SenateBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:Everplay Summer 2026Summer Leagues are registering now for the Summer 2026 leagues including Kickball, Softball, Bowling, Soccer, Pickleball and more!

In this deep-dive solo episode, Barrett unpacks the intensifying geopolitical friction defining 2026. We examine recent U.S. military actions in the Strait of Hormuz and what they signal for the future of international trade and conflict. The discussion explores the history of Iran's nuclear program—which was famously declared decimated in 2022—and why regional influence is once again at a boiling point.Beyond the battlefield, we analyze the domestic political landscape, specifically focusing on President Trump's health and behavior. From cognitive assessments to the implications of leadership rooted in "malignant narcissism," this episode asks: does the current strategy risk a major escalation or a global humiliation?Key Topics: #Geopolitics #StraitOfHormuz #USMilitary #IranConflict #PresidentialHealth #PoliticalAnalysis #KindaDailyShow #MilitaryStrategyBarrett Gruber | LinktreeBill Kimler | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeBlack White Blue in the South | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:ZJZ DesignsCheck out the 4th of July Heart Designs for this Independence Day!

Welcome To Earth! And Welcome to another episode of the RBS Podcast where Pat and Mark turn their attention to the biggest movie star of the 90s and early 2000s, Will Smith. In this first episode we cover his early career from arriving as a fully formed star in the Fresh Prince to becoming a Hollywood blockbuster leading man in the baffling flop, Wild Wild West. The difference is…He makes this look good!

Abraham Lincoln once asserted that all of his political philosophy was rooted in the Declaration of Independence. Other presidents have spoken positively about our founding document, and some have disparaged the ideas promoted in it. What about Ronald Reagan? Where did he stand on the Declaration's core ideas of natural rights, limited government, and liberty?Jeff is joined by Greg McBrayer, who looks back on decades of speeches from Reagan in order to establish a clear connection between the principles of our 40th president and America's original mission statement.Read Reagan's “A Time for Choosing”: https://tinyurl.com/btvr8mu9Read Reagan's 1986 Independence Day speech: https://tinyurl.com/ycyfvnkaRead Reagan's Farewell Address: https://tinyurl.com/mu92b545Host: Jeff SikkengaExecutive Producer: Jeremy GyptonSubscribe: https://linktr.ee/theamericanideaHomepage: https://ashbrook.org/the-american-idea-podcast/

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Lebanese and Israeli representatives are set to meet in Washington, DC, today. It was reported yesterday that Lebanon was hoping to extend the shaky ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel by a month. At the same time, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar openly considered the notion of peace between the two nations at an Independence Day speech on Wednesday. Horovitz weighs in. Has the Iran conflict become a shipping war? According to reports on Wednesday, the US military has intercepted at least three Iranian-flagged tankers in Asian waters and is redirecting them away from their positions near India, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. At the same time, Iranian forces seized two container ships on Wednesday, according to global security monitors and the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Horovitz unravels the stalled negotiations even as the double US and Iranian blockades at the Strait of Hormuz may lead to a military escalation. In the second half of the program, we turn to the observation of two national days this week and share a glimpse of Israel today. Horovitz notes the overt politicization of state ceremonies, a phenomenon that began in 2018 and reached a crescendo this week. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

As US-Iran talks stall and the Lebanon ceasefire holds by a thread, Yonit and Jonathan take stock of where Israel stands: from the parallel ceremonies splitting the country, to Rahm Emanuel's seismic break from past support for Israeli military aid, to Ezra Klein's "one state reality" argument — and why Yonit thinks it misses half the picture. Then: a joyful detour. Adeena Sussman, author of the forthcoming Zariz: 100 Easy, Breezy, Tel Aviv-y Recipes, joins to talk about cooking through a war, the fusion of Jewish and Israeli identity on the plate, and why every pot of Sabbath stew is a political act.
