CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-24-2026.OTTAWAConrad Black and co-host Edmund Fitton-Brown discuss the collapse of trade negotiations and subsequent US tariff threats that have sparked a major political crisis in Canada, leading to opposition calls to immediately reconvene Parliament. Black describes a stark contrast in national attitudes, noting that President Trump's rhetoric effectively denies Canada's sovereignty. This perceived affront has deeply united Canadians across party lines, who view the tariffs as an assault on national identity rather than a mere commercial dispute. Black highlights potential Republican electoral fallout in key US Senate races like Maine and Michigan, and suggests a bilateral phone call could resolve the dispute. (1)Janatyn Sayeh and Edmund Fitton-Brown examine Iranian official Ghalibaf's public appearance in Iraq, signaling defiance to the US and Israel before secondary sanctions are revealed. Sayeh explains that Iran views Iraq as its backyard, using it to evade sanctions by blending Iranian oil with Iraqi exports. Under President Trump, US economic scrutiny on Iraq has increased to block this smuggling. While maximum pressure has devalued Iran's currency and caused hyperinflation, Iran aims to overwhelm Washington by utilizing its regional proxy networks across Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq. The US must view these proxies as Iranian arms rather than local actors. (2)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa, with Edmund Fitton-Brown: In Brazil, falling poll numbers have panicked President Lula, prompting him to call Donald Trump despite years of anti-American rhetoric. Araújo explains this reflects the US's central role in combating South American "narcosocialist" regimes. Meanwhile, in Venezuela, Delcyand Jorge Rodríguez are simulating cooperation with the US while delaying presidential elections to buy time. Peña Esclusa notes that Venezuelan opposition members are negotiating Supreme Court appointments rather than election dates or political prisoners. Both guests will attend Slovenia's Bled Strategic Forum to discuss Latin America's right-wing political shift and potential energy partnerships with Europe. (3)Malcolm Hoenlein and Edmund Fitton-Brown discuss rising security concerns in Israel after incendiary balloons from Gaza were discovered, potentially testing Israel's border preparedness. Concurrently, Turkey is expanding its regional footprint, occupying 5% of Syria and attempting to establish military bases, which Israel countered with airstrikes. In Gaza, Jared Kushner met with Hamas in Cairo, a move that critics argue bolsters the group's status despite declining local support. Meanwhile, the US Treasury has previewed secondary sanctions on Iranian trading partners, including China. Iran's economy is in collapse, with inflation skyrocketing and the currency reaching an all-time low. (4)David Daoud and Edmund Fitton-Brown examine UNIFIL's mandate, which restricts it to acting as an auxiliary to the Lebanese Armed Forces, preventing independent disarmament of Hezbollah. Consequently, Hezbollah operates freely near UN watchtowers and tunnel networks. Daoud argues that while new US Treasury sanctions expanding target parameters to include Iranian violations are positive, they fail to address Hezbollah's deep integration into Lebanon's socio-political fabric. To be effective, the West must treat Hezbollah as a Lebanese entity with sovereign responsibilities, rather than purely an Iranian proxy. True security requires targeting all of Hezbollah's activities, including its social and political wings. (5)Ivana Stradner and Edmund Fitton-Brown analyze Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's visit to Belgrade, which does not signal a split between Serbia and Russia. President Vučić's weapons sales to Ukraine are merely lucrative business deals. Serbia remains highly dependent on Russia, sharing deep intelligence ties and cooperating with the FSB to test crowd-control equipment. Vučić balances these relationships to survive domestic protests sparked by environmental concerns and a severe heatwave. Stradner, recently returning from Israel, reports that Israeli morale remains exceptionally high despite facing a multi-front threat from Iran's proxy network, which Russia continues to exploit through regional propaganda and strategic manipulation. (6)Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the term "economic D-Day," explaining that Pakistan's mediation in Iran is self-interested, driven by fears of secondary US sanctions. These sanctions have suffocated Iran's economy, reducing oil exports and sparking hyperinflation. Iraq also struggles with contradictory policies, balancing its US alliance with pro-Iranian gestures, such as securing tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz. In the Red Sea, the Houthis demand tribute from Saudi Arabia to halt attacks on tankers and pipelines. Fitton-Brown warns that paying the Houthis only delays their long-term expansionist goals against Saudi territory and Israel. (7)Samuel Ben-Ur and Edmund Fitton-Brown discuss how, following a temporary lull, Hamas has intensified attacks in Gaza, emboldened by disarmament frameworks proposed by Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators. Ben-Ur notes Hamas only accepted the deal under the pretense of disarming while intending to survive intact. However, following Jared Kushner's visit, the US aligned with Israel's stance, demanding total disarmament before military withdrawal. Fitton-Brown and Ben-Ur discuss the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (ENCAG), a secular government planned to replace Hamas. Lacking military power, ENCAG's deployment depends on an international stabilization force, though troop commitments remain severely short. (8)Michael Sobolik and Edmund Fitton-Brown examine how Chinese AI company Moonshot bypassed US export controls by "distilling" technology from Anthropic's Claude Opus model to train its own system, Kimi K3. This intellectual property theft threatens American market dominance and national security. Sobolik recommends three policy actions: imposing crushing financial sanctions on violating Chinese firms, closing export control loopholes related to remote cloud access, and banning open CCP models in the United States. He warns that American tech companies prioritizing short-term profits over security risk losing the AI race, mirroring historical patterns of Chinese piracy. (9)John Hardie and Edmund Fitton-Brown outline Russia's military assistance to Iran via the Caspian Sea, a highly secure transit route. This collaboration benefits Moscow by raising energy prices and draining US munition stockpiles like Patriot interceptors, giving Russia a freer hand in Ukraine. Russia provides Iran with tactical intelligence, drone components to resist satellite jamming, and has agreed to deliver shoulder-launched air defense missiles. While Ukraine and Israel have attempted long-range strikes against trade vessels and ports to disrupt this flow, interdiction is difficult because the Caspian Sea operates as a protected, non-transparent Russian-Iranian military lake. (10)Standing corrections applied: Janatyn Sayeh, Ernesto Araújo, Alejandro Peña Esclusa, Delcy Rodríguez (and Jorge Rodríguez), Zelenskyy, Vučić with diacritics, and Kimi K3 (source again had "Kimmy"). One anomaly in the source: segment 7 listed Fitton-Brown as both guest and co-host, so I've formatted it as his solo segment — flag it if there was a second voice in that file.

In this message, Noel Heikkinen begins a new series through 1 and 2 Kings by exploring the struggle over who will succeed David as king. Through Adonijah's attempt to seize the throne and Solomon's rise to power, Noel examines our tendency to control outcomes, manipulate circumstances, and hold onto grievances when things don't go our way. He shows how even David and Solomon are deeply flawed leaders who point toward the need for a different kind of king. Ultimately, the story challenges us to give up control of our own “kingdoms” and submit to Jesus, who rules with mercy.Subscribe to AfterWords on  Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Visit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com—About Riverview ChurchRiverview Church is a multi-venue church based in Lansing, Michigan, where we invite everyone to know and enjoy Jesus as we stumble together in our pursuit to love like Him.

On February 3, 1976, Michigan attorney Peter Kensler left his office in Manchester and headed home to his rural property in Sharon Township. The 36-year-old lawyer was shot twice with a 20-gauge shotgun outside his home, including a fatal point-blank shot to the face. His briefcase was missing, and investigators quickly discovered several possible motives, including Kensler's bitter split from prominent attorney James Hendley and a controversial takeover of Union Savings Bank. Kensler had also been living a private second life in Detroit.Join Mike and Gibby as they talk about the murder of Peter Kensler. The investigation was plagued by problems from the beginning, with the crime scene compromised and investigators unable to gather enough evidence to charge anyone. A longtime friend became a prime suspect, and detectives later theorized that he may have brought another man to Kensler's home to carry out the shooting. In 1982, an anonymous caller directed police to a river where they recovered a 20-gauge shotgun, but ballistic testing could neither confirm nor eliminate it as the murder weapon. Decades later, investigators still believe the killing may have been connected to Kensler's personal life. In 2026, authorities confirmed that the case remains under active investigation after receiving “very viable” new information, including several names not publicly released. Fifty years after Peter Kensler's murder, his family is still waiting for answers.You can help support the show at patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation informationAn Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 rumor mill is firing on all cylinders. Alleged leaks suggest GTA 6 could make players actually refuel their cars, because apparently escaping the cops and committing fictional felonies wasn't immersive enough. Now we may get the authentic experience of realizing the tank is on E at the absolute worst possible moment.Would stolen cars come with random amounts of gas? Could you abandon one because the tank is empty? Would GTA Costco memberships get you cheaper fuel? These are the important questions being asked by this comedy podcast while the rest of society presumably does something productive.Then we discover—or rediscover, depending on how damaged everyone's memory is—the 1985 cinematic achievement known as Gymkata.The premise is magnificently stupid: take gymnastics, combine it with karate and create an unstoppable martial art. That's it. That's the movie. Olympic gymnast Kurt Thomas is sent on a dangerous mission where his greatest weapon is himself…and the conveniently placed gymnastics equipment that somehow keeps appearing whenever dozens of bad guys need to be kicked in the face.Moon reveals that Gymkata has been living rent-free in his subconscious since childhood, including scenes that still randomly appear in his dreams. This launches the crew into an extremely important celebration of the ridiculous action and sports movies of the '80s: Rad, No Retreat, No Surrender, Best of the Best, No Holds Barred, Bloodsport and the glorious era when movie executives could apparently greenlight anything as long as somebody knew karate.Naturally, Jean-Claude Van Damme doing the splits leads Lern to ask questions about male anatomy that nobody was emotionally prepared to answer. Suddenly we're discussing whether men have a “seam,” whether God is responsible for said seam, and why absolutely none of this information was included in health class.And then Steven Seagal arrives.The crew finds audio of Seagal telling a story about being in Kazakhstan before stopping to ask, “How do you say in English…” despite being born in Lansing, Michigan. What follows is a forensic investigation into Steven Seagal's increasingly mysterious relationship with the English language, fake accents, international travel and whether spending enough time somewhere can legitimately change how you talk.From there, Crap on Celebrities turns surprisingly philosophical when Dr. Dre and Billy Corgan land on opposite sides of the AI music debate. Dre sees artificial intelligence as another creative tool, while Corgan wants absolutely nothing to do with it. Moon breaks down how producers already use loops, samples and pre-built musical elements, leading to a bigger question: where exactly does using technology stop being a tool and start becoming “cheating”?This comedy podcast also gets into Bret Michaels recovering from kidney stone surgery while apparently refusing to surrender his hat under any circumstances, Kacey Musgraves performing while floating on giant disco-ball truck nuts, Dolly Parton exploring avatar performances, Bonnaroo taking a year off, and St. Louis artist Slater covering Hole's “Violet.”Plus, the CW dumps Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, DC apparently decides Gorilla Grodd needs a true-crime mockumentary, National Treasure 3 inches closer to becoming a real movie, and Lern takes everyone on an unsolicited but surprisingly enjoyable Whitesnake journey.Then we wrap things up with celebrity birthdays—including Dave Chappelle, Cal Ripken Jr., Steve Guttenberg and Vince McMahon—before heading toward relationship fun facts and the mysterious 7-7-7 rule.It's GTA rumors, '80s movie nostalgia, celebrity news, music industry arguments, St. Louis chaos and several conversations that should've ended three sentences earlier.In other words: a comedy podcast.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tyler Kluver and David Eickholt kick off the first Kluver & Eickholt Power Hour of the 2026 season, announcing another year of their weekly KF Press Review show and reacting to fall camp and the open practice. They break down the QB1 race, noting Jeremy Hecklinski's rough early camp before a near-perfect open practice while Hank Brown struggled, and they also highlight freshman four-star Tate Bessinger's natural talent and processing. The conversation turns to Iowa's “three-three-six” schedule structure and the brutal three-game stretch vs Michigan, Ohio State, and at Washington, debating which is most winnable and the need to name a starter by Week 2. They discuss defensive concerns (especially defensive tackle, corner depth, and possible NFL-to-college return chatter), special teams turnover, and growing optimism about Tim Lester's offense, improved receiver depth, a deep RB room, and DJV's ceiling at tight end.

Detroit's next wave of health care may be built as much with partnerships as with concrete. We sit down with Dr. Adnan Munkarah, President for Care Delivery and Chief Clinical Officer at Henry Ford Health, to unpack what it takes to modernize an academic medical center while keeping a century-long commitment to the city that surrounds it.We talk about replacing aging hospital space with a new tower and why that matters for patient care, safety, and the future of care delivery in Michigan. Dr. Munkarah walks us through the vision for a Midtown Detroit medical campus that blends clinical excellence with research scale, including a major research building and a coordinated approach with Michigan State University to accelerate discovery. We also explore specialized growth, like bringing Shirley Ryan AbilityLab's elite inpatient rehabilitation model into a “hospital within a hospital,” plus the push toward precision medicine and theranostics for cancer.Then we get candid about the health care workforce and what's changing. New physicians are incredibly capable and often more protective of work-life balance, and we discuss why that can be a strength when systems support team-based care. We also zero in on one of the biggest sources of frustration in American health care: prior authorization, insurance denials, and the administrative time sink that delays patients and fuels physician burnout. Dr. Munkarah closes with a clear challenge: invest upstream in prevention, public health, early cancer screening, and early management of diabetes and hypertension so we spend less in crisis and get better outcomes.If you care about Detroit, health policy, hospital strategy, and reducing health care costs the smart way, hit subscribe, share this conversation, and leave us a review.Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!

Self-storage is one of the most misunderstood asset classes in commercial real estate. Most investors assume it's a simple, low-complexity play. Ryan Gibson built it into a billion-dollar operation by treating it like anything but. As Co-Founder and President of Spartan Investment Group, Ryan has organized over $1 billion in capital across 90 facilities and 7 million square feet in 15 states, ranking Spartan as the 29th largest self-storage operator in the country. In this episode, he breaks down the market selection framework, operational systems, and ancillary revenue strategies that separate serious operators from everyone else in the space. About Ryan Gibson Ryan Gibson is Co-Founder and President of Spartan Investment Group, the 29th largest self-storage operator in the United States. He has organized over $1 billion in capital across 90 facilities and 7 million square feet in 15 states. Before real estate, Ryan was a commercial airline pilot. He applies aviation's checklist-driven, risk-first discipline to every aspect of how Spartan evaluates deals and operates properties. He is also co-host of the Passive Income Pilots podcast. What We Cover in This Episode How aviation checklists and go/no-go decision-making translate directly to real estate underwriting The Swiss cheese model of risk stacking and why deals fail for multiple reasons, never just one How to identify the right moment to set the parking brake and walk away from a deal Why Ryan avoids hyped markets and what he looks for in lesser-known markets instead Specific markets with strong fundamentals: Lincoln NE, Northwest Arkansas, coastal South Carolina, coastal Georgia, and markets near military bases and universities The market structure insight that led Ryan to self-storage: 70% mom-and-pop ownership, 10% REIT, and the aggregation opportunity in between How renting his own storage unit during a home renovation changed Ryan's entire investment focus The fish-in-the-middle strategy: buying mom-and-pops, aggregating, and positioning for an eventual institutional exit Spartan's current portfolio (90 stores, $1B AUM) and growth target of 300 stores The virtual manager kiosk system: how one store manager can run five facilities remotely How Spartan's distributed team opens East Coast and West Coast stores outside normal office hours AI voice technology running the after-hours call center, and why it performs as well as their former offshore team How 65% of bookings happen through the kiosk screen with less than 10% face-to-face The tenant insurance captive: how Spartan adds $70,000 to $80,000 in NOI on property takeover, worth over $1 million in valuation at a six cap Why U-Haul partnerships are no longer worth the labor cost How to register every property for cell phone tower placement and generate triple-net lease income Leverage thresholds by deal type and why fixed-rate debt is non-negotiable How Ryan uses Claude AI connected to Spartan's data warehouse to cut 50 monthly investor updates from 80 hours to 7 hours Key Insight Ryan discovered self-storage the way most people discover something that changes everything: by accident. He was renting a unit during a home renovation that stretched from five months to a year and a half. When the landlord raised his rent 20%, he tracked the owner down to complain. The owner told him he had 500 units, raised rents 20% after six months, and nobody ever moved out. Ryan did the math on the spot. That one conversation reoriented his entire investment career. Today Spartan owns 90 facilities. It started with a $20 monthly bump on a unit full of stuff he probably should have thrown away. Why This Episode Matters Self-storage is often treated as a set-it-and-forget-it asset, but Ryan's framework shows it rewards operators who understand demand dynamics, leverage discipline, and operational integration at scale. Investors considering the asset class will come away with specific market criteria, a concrete underwriting framework, and a realistic picture of how scale changes the economics. The tenant insurance captive alone is a revenue strategy most real estate investors have never encountered and can apply immediately on their next acquisition.

The U.S.–Canada trade situation took a wild turn over the weekend. We thought we had an agreement, but now we're suddenly facing a full-scale trade war with our closest neighbor.  Glenn Stevens from MICHAuto joined me to break down what went wrong and what this uncertainty actually means on the ground for Michiganders and Michigan companies.  From auto supply chains, to materials, to local jobs, to healthcare workers and tourism, Michigan has more to lose than most anywhere else in the United States as this may drag on. Michigan residents have already been impacted by thousands of dollars since the disputes started in 2025, whether it's in increased prices or decreased wages and profit-sharing. We dig into why unraveling this more than century-long economic partnership makes little sense and why getting both sides back to the table. That yes, friends always have disagreements, but blowing everything up isn't the thing to do. Give it a listen, and let me know how these potential tariffs are impacting your work or family across the border.

A quiet home in Roseville, Michigan became the scene of a slow-motion cover-up when a family's welfare check turned into something far darker. For months, relatives believed 69-year-old Patricia Bennett was simply out of touch, yet texting back, seemingly alive and well. They later learned those messages weren't coming from her. By the time police forced their way into the garage, they found her body hidden inside a storage tub, and the person who'd been impersonating her was her own daughter.

On November 30th, 2018, Brittany Wallace Shank said she was almost to her grandma's. She never made it. She was 23. A mother of four. Sturgis, Michigan.For years, her case sat still. Then, in 2023, people started sitting down in the other chairs.A lot of you have asked what happened after we brought what we found to law enforcement. Here's the answer: we gave them everything we saved. All of it. In Part 1, you heard what they did with it — Ashley's interview, and the questions that never got asked.Part 2 is the rest of the chairs. The husband — Eric, across the table from Detective Auton, answering the questions this case has been circling since day one. The drug dealer — the man who says he met Brittany exactly once, and the message thread that says more than he does. The boyfriend. And the third man in the apartment. Plus a phone call I recorded in 2022, a year before detectives caught up — so you can hear one man's story twice, a year apart, and decide for yourself what changed.You'll hear Brittany's own voice in this episode. You'll hear the minute her day stops. And you'll hear me say the thing that should make everyone in St. Joseph County uncomfortable:Eight polygraphs, by the county's own count. Seven years. No one has ever been charged.Somebody forwarded a video. Somebody knows the rest.Play the tape. Read the paper. Compare.Listener discretion advised.

What happens when a kid who simply loves to draw grows up to create some of the most recognizable cartoons of a generation? Ginny sits down with legendary animator Butch Hartman, creator of The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom, to talk about creativity, storytelling, faith, and why developing real skills still matters—even in the age of AI. Butch shares how his father encouraged his artistic gifts, his unlikely path from Michigan to Hollywood, and the years of learning that eventually allowed him to become not just an artist, but a writer, producer, director, and entrepreneur. Butch also shares the story of becoming a Christian at 35 and why he ultimately shifted his focus toward creating faith-filled entertainment for children. His latest project, The Garden, combines animation, music, humor, and Scripture in an effort to create uplifting children's programming at a level that can compete with mainstream entertainment. This is an especially encouraging conversation for parents raising creative kids. Butch challenges listeners not to fear AI or changing technology, but to keep learning, creating, and developing the gifts they've been given. His message is simple and hopeful: don't bury your talents—build them, use them, and see where they can take you. Learn more about Butch here! ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!

【聊了什么】 2026年中期选举初选进入尾声，两党的结果已经打破了不少看似稳固的判断。特朗普仍然牢牢影响共和党，但他亲自背书的候选人在多场关键初选中接连落败；民主党则有七名现任众议员倒在党内挑战者手下。特朗普的背书在哪些地方仍然有效？现任优势又为什么正在民主党内部失灵？ 本期我们从密歇根、威斯康星和明尼苏达的选举结果谈起，讨论民主党建制派、进步派与民主社会主义者围绕“可当选性”、巴以议题、族裔代表和党内资源展开的路线之争。我们也分析了初选民调为什么会大幅失准：投票人群的构成、最后时刻的势头、竞选资金与组织能力，怎样让看似稳固的领先在投票日突然消失。 我们也讨论了可能决定参议院控制权的大选地图：德州、密歇根、缅因、俄亥俄、阿拉斯加、佐治亚、北卡和爱荷华，哪些是真正可能翻盘的战场，哪些只有在浪潮选举中才会出现意外？2026年的中期选举不只是红蓝之间的较量，也是两党内部关于谁能代表自己、谁能真正赢下大选的争夺。 本期节目录制于8月16日。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 00:35 开场：进入2026年中期选举初选盘点 05:11 特朗普背书破功，共和党掌控力出现松动 12:23 七名民主党现任众议员为何输掉党内初选 19:10 密歇根与威斯康星：进步派、建制派与“可当选性” 40:24 明尼苏达与民主社会主义者的扩张 43:16 初选民调为什么接连失准 48:24 德州与密歇根：参议院争夺的两种难题 55:31 缅因州：Susan Collins 还能守住席位吗 58:37 俄亥俄州：Sherrod Brown 的翻盘机会 1:06:00 阿拉斯加：同名候选人与排序复选的变量 1:12:16 佐治亚与北卡：民主党为什么领先稳固 1:16:53 爱荷华：地方议题能否撬动红州 1:22:13 蒙大拿、内布拉斯加与堪萨斯的冷门可能 1:25:54 Fetterman 与参议院控制权的关键一票 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 本期的主播和嘉宾： 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 【 What We Talked About】 The 2026 midterms have not yet entered their final stretch, but the party primaries have already upended several assumptions that once seemed settled. Donald Trump still holds considerable sway over the Republican Party, yet several candidates he personally endorsed have lost key primaries. Meanwhile, seven incumbent House Democrats were defeated by challengers from within their own party. Where does Trump's endorsement still carry weight? And why is the advantage of incumbency breaking down among Democrats? We examine the results in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, focusing on the struggle among the Democratic establishment, progressives, and democratic socialists over electability, Israel and Palestine, racial representation, and party resources. We also explore why primary polling missed the mark so badly: how turnout composition, late momentum, campaign spending, and organizing capacity can make an apparently secure lead disappear on Election Day. We also survey the Senate map that could determine control of the chamber, including Texas, Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Alaska, Georgia, North Carolina, and Iowa. Which races present genuine opportunities to flip a seat, and which would become competitive only in a wave election? The 2026 midterms are not simply a contest between red and blue. They are also an internal struggle over who represents each party and who can actually win a general election.

Flora talks with paleontologist Steve Brusatte about the conditions of the late Cretaceous era. Guest: Dr. Steve Brusatte is a paleontologist and author of “The Story of Birds: A New History from their Dinosaur Origins to the Present.” Transcript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Amy Walter returns to the pod for a pundit therapy session. She and Sarah discuss: A recent focus group of Georgia swing voters, and what they think of Sen. Jon Ossoff and his opponent. The massive polling misses in the Wisconsin and Michigan primaries, and listen to a focus group of Wisconsin voters that tell us (in retrospect) how David Crowley was able to pull of a last minute surge. In light of AOC's 'Woke 1 was crazy' comments, they discuss swing voters' biggest complaints about each of our political parties, and whether the parties' brand problems are driven by politicians, or by other people in voters' lives.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joins POLITICO's Jonathan Martin in Traverse City, Michigan, to discuss the future of the Democratic Party and why he believes Democrats can't simply campaign on a return to the pre-Trump status quo. Buttigieg argues the party needs to "build what's next," weighs in on the Michigan Senate race, reflects on his time in the Biden administration, and shares his vision for institutional reform, AI, economic inequality and the road to 2028. Plus, he gives Jonathan a tour of his adopted hometown—including a stop for Traverse City's famous cherry ice cream. 

MUSLIMS ARE planning enclaves that could put self-contained religious communities near Dallas and Houston. Meanwhile, amplifiers broadcast the call to prayer in American cities like Minneapolis, Dearborn and Hamtramck, Michigan, and Paterson, New Jersey. Imams are growing increasingly bold in their statements that their goal is to turn America into a Muslim nation. What most Americans don't realize is that there is no separation of church and state in Islam. The church IS the state, for all intents and purposes. But more than that, this is a spiritual war that the god of Muhammad—who is not to be confused with the triune God of the Bible—intends to win. Here's the link to the article Derek mentioned, "A Call to Power: Islamic Leaders See Ballot Box as Path to Paradise," by Paul Sperry. That fact is also behind a statement issued by the foreign ministers of Turkey, the UAE, Indonesia, Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. In a joint statement, the ministers objected to Israel's plan to build 3,400 new dwellings in an area east of Jerusalem called E1. They complain that this would separate Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem from the rest of the so-called West Bank, blocking the creation of a future Palestinian state with its capital at Jerusalem. From the Israeli standpoint, that is rather the point. After the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, Israel will not accept an independent Palestinian state on its borders. Further eroding the situation in the Middle East, Turkey has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Turks are seeking an Interpol red notice for the arrest of Netanyahu as part of a criminal case against him for Israel's interception of an aid flotilla sailing for Gaza back in May. The charges include genocide, crimes against humanity and torture. Well, good luck with that. We also discussed a plan to build data centers around the ring of fire, the volcanically active area around the Pacific Ocean, using geothermal energy to power the centers. Tapping into volcanoes to generate electricity. What can possibly go wrong? Also: Social media is causing an epidemic of mental and spiritual illness, as evidenced by the crowd of women who gathered outside the courthouse in Plymouth, Massachusetts Thursday in support of Lindsay Clancy, who has admitted to killing her three children. Granted, postpartum depression is a real thing. But that doesn't mean Clancy shouldn't be held accountable for what she did.

Joe takes a sledgehammer to state-level corruption, exposing the systemic decay fracturing American elections, courts, and cultural foundations. From Hastings Charter Township, Michigan—where County Clerk David Olson is pleading for federal intervention to inspect tainted voter rolls—to explosive SCIF evidence revealing over 240,000 ineligible, indefinitely confined voters exploited to tilt elections, this episode leaves no stone unturned. Joe breaks down how bad actors, administrative overreach, and manipulated voter ID laws operate like a treatable cancer that will prove terminal to our constitutional republic unless patriots continuously "Wreck It Ralph" the system to force immediate accountability.Turning the spotlight on judicial tyranny, returning guest Sherry McGann, founder of Judicial Alchemy, steps into the ring to detail how bad-faith attorneys, bankruptcy trustees, and the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel (OARC) weaponize legal loopholes against everyday citizens. McGann exposes the shocking "Bankruptcy Protection Loop" and details her recent submission to the Department of Justice documenting systemic attorney misconduct, abandoned counsel, and institutional sabotage. Her powerful account illustrates how court-sanctioned corruption drains victims of their livelihoods while shielding bad actors within Colorado's legal cartel.The show closes with an unsparing analysis of cultural collapse and political hypocrisy. Joe dissects the systematic purging of men from the American workforce, highlighted by a stark C-SPAN call out of Michigan revealing the stark contrast between disenfranchised workers and subsidized illegal immigrants. The episode wraps by exposing how political operatives weaponize racial division—illustrated by Texas Senate contender James Talarico's attacks on the judicial system—and how activist liberal judges continue attempting to sabotage presidential appointments.

Happy Friday! No Common Man again today. Timmy co-hosts with Jen for the first two hours, and his back is thrown out. We're mad that pro players keep trying to come back to college sports. Jake Diebler adds the 15th player to the roster for Buckeye Basketball, and we break it down. It's Go to Jail Friday and Music Appreciation Friday. Michigan is partnering with Meijer and Timmy can no longer go there now. James Harden is staying in Cleveland, and there have been scuffles at Bengals practices. Dom is in! He co-hosts with Timmy for the final hour of the show. We talk about his retirement, watching High School football games, and his thoughts on Ohio State football this season.

Episode OverviewIn this episode of Blunt Force Truth, host Mark Young welcomes Texas political strategist and public policy advocate David Covey to discuss the pivotal political and economic battlegrounds shaping the nation. From tight Senate races in Texas and Michigan to the core philosophies dividing American voters, Mark and David break down what it takes for common-sense principles to prevail.They examine how candidates manage public perception, the contrast between career politicians and grassroots leaders, and the broader cultural shifts affecting work ethic, enterprise, and personal responsibility. Beyond electoral politics, the discussion dives into key constitutional safeguards—highlighting the critical role of the U.S. Supreme Court—and outlines practical mindsets for achieving long-term financial success in today's economy.Follow David Covey on X: @CoveyTX (https://x.com/CoveyTX)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One choice at the DMV can ripple into hundreds of surgeries, thousands of hospital hours, and a second chance at life for people you'll never meet. From the 2026 Mackinac Policy Conference, we sit down with Dorrie Dils from Gift of Life Michigan to unpack what actually happens when someone becomes an organ and tissue donor and why the system works only when families and clinicians can move with clarity and speed.We talk about Gift of Life Michigan's role as the state's organ procurement organization for deceased donation, how they coordinate with Michigan transplant centers, and how the program has scaled since 2016 from a few hundred donors a year to a pace of 600 plus donors, resulting in about 1,400 life-saving organ transplants annually. Along the way, we get into what “first of its kind” transplant procedures can mean for care in Michigan, plus the difference between living donation handled by transplant centers and deceased donation facilitated through Gift of Life.The heart of the conversation is human. Donor families face the worst day of their lives, yet many find real healing in knowing their loved one saved others. We also discuss why some organs carry extreme urgency, especially liver failure, where time is short without a transplant. Finally, Dorrie shares a practical policy push with big potential: expanding organ and tissue donation education in Michigan high schools so teens understand the decision before they're asked to register for the donor registry when getting a driver's license.If you care about organ donation, transplantation, Michigan health policy, or simply making sure your own wishes are known, listen now, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave us a review so more people can find these conversations.Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!

Michigan's Nonconference and Big Ten Teams 18-15 Starts at 0:54 We welcome in Alex Drain to go over Michigan's nonconference games and the rest of the Big Ten. Western Michigan Pretty good for a MAC team, they won the MAC last year.  Last year they were an offensively driven team, but they've lost their defensive coordinator to the LA Chargers. They have big offensive linemen (including Ben Roebuck). Michigan's questions at defensive tackle and linebacker will get an early test.  UTEP It's bad. Like... really bad. They're starting over with FCS guys.  Oklahoma They get John Mateer back (which can be good or bad at any given moment). His stats in the second half of last year weren't great, how much of that was because of injury? He's an athlete when he has to run the ball. They bring back All-SEC WR Isaiah Sategna. Their run game overall was really bad, it brought down their overall offensive SP+ to 51st. Current SP+ projections are 27th. Cole Sullivan might not even start. The starting line is Michigan -2.5 so consider it a toss-up. 18 - Purdue 7-29 in the last three years since losing Jeff Brohm, and there's not much optimism going into this year either. Their schedule might be a little easier at least. This is year two of a coach starting over for Baryy Odom. Can you name the Michigan player who is a projected starter for Purdue?  17 - Michigan State Pat Fitzgerald is... a weird hire. They bring back QB Alessio Milivojevic for some continuity, also PFF really likes UConn RB Cam Edwards. The offensive line looks okay-ish. However, Fred Moore is a projected starter. Do they get four wins?  16 - Rutgers Nobody cares about them except for Bryan Mac. Last year they had their best offense since 2007 but their defense was 131st in success rate. They have KJ Duff who has a claim for the 2nd best wide receiver in the Big Ten. The offense is projected at 37th in SP+, the defense at 90th.  15 - Maryland Someone always has to die in the Maryland preview. They're #2 in returning production in SP+. Give Locksley some credit for returning a lot of young and talented players. A nonconference game against James Franklin's Virginia Tech could be exciting.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Big Ten Teams 14-8 Starts at 38:57 14 - Northwestern They have Chip Kelly and a new stadium (we all liked Ryan Field, though). They start with South Dakota State and then get a week two bye, oddly enough. Can they fix Aidan Chiles? They have some returning wide receivers that are decent.  13 - Wisconsin The shell of Wisconsin, the week they though Luke Fickell would get fired he got an extension. They bring in QB Colton Joseph, the Sun Belt player of the year. Old Wisconsin would never have to go into the portal for a running back. By extending Fickell they gave him a bigger NIL budget which he used to get seven defensive starters. 12 - UCLA They have a new coach. The weird Deshaun Foster era ended before it started. Bob Chesney comes in from James Madison. Nico Iamaleava comes back (for better or worse). James Madison was in the playoffs last year, you might recall. There is a lot of reason to be optimistic about this hire. Semaj Morgan is there!  11 - Nebraska They did not get year-three Matt Rhule, there was no lift-off and Raiola left. They picked up QB Anthony Colandrea from Virginia. They need a new RB. They're on their 4th defensive coordinator in five years, despite a soft schedule they still finished 7-6 last year. It feels like another 7-5 ish season. Is that Matt Rhule or is that just Nebraska now?  10 - Minnesota 68% returning production. They're always around here and they always win a bowl game. QB Drake Lindsey is appearing on 1st round mock drafts?? They're projecting 71st on offense and 24th on defense. They're Minnesota.  9 - Illinois They lose Luke Altmyer to the Detroit Lions and bring in Katin Houser (MSU plays three of their former QBs). Only one starter returns on the offensive line. They bring in Bobby Hauck as defensive coordinator, he left Montana claiming college football wasn't fun anymore and then took this job five days later. He might be their Wink. The defense needs to be fixed up a bit. 8 - Washington They forcibly detained QB Demond Williams for another year so... I guess we'll see how that goes. Last year he could just toss it up to Denzel Boston but he's out the door. They bring in a RB from Oregon and Christian Moss from Kennesaw State. Four of five starters return on the offensive line which could be solid. They lost some pretty good guys in the secondary, defensive tackle is still worrying since they have FCS and MAC guys to plug in positions. Their schedule is very favorable, they could even sneak into the playoffs (and get demolished). 3. Hot Takes and Secondary Starts at 1:19:11 Takes hotter than the hottest hot take that anyone has ever given the Sklars after one of their shows.  7 - Iowa They're Iowa. They haven't had an SP+ defense worse than 6th since 2018. They got all the way up to 37th last year in offensive SP+ (turns out Brian Ferentz was not good at offensive coordination). There are some all-Big Ten guys on the offensive line. Do they have any receivers? Ehhh. They have tight ends. Seth read three preview magazines and they all listed different starting QBs. They lost a lot on defense but they always rebuild. This could be a worrying game for Michigan (if Iowa can score).  6 - Penn State Well, the good news is last year they weren't as bad as they looked. Despite everything that happened they were close to beating Indiana at the end of the season. Matt Campbell comes in with Rocco Becht. A lot of players came over from Iowa State, it's just a matter of how quickly they can fit it all together. Their schedule is a joke, they could even sneak into the playoff or the Big Ten title game. Michigan should still be a favorite.  5 - USC They bring back QB Jayden Maiava, but they replace Makai Lemon. The receiver conveyer belt is moving. Everybody loves Waymond (and they bring back King Miller). Their new defensive coordinator is Gary Patterson (yeah that Gary Patterson). Too bad they don't play Northwestern. They always have a top 10 offense and they just need the defense to be okay. The schedule is brutal, though. Are they just permanently the 15th best team in college football under Lincoln Riley? 4 - Michigan? See: all other content. 3 - Indiana They are the portal team now. Despite losing so many players they recruited the transfer portal like an SEC team. QB Josh Hoover comes in from TCU, he's a good conference starter. They also bring in Nick Marsh (MSU) and Shazz Preston from Tulane. Add that to Charlie Becker and their WR room is stacked (also two time winning national champion Tyler Morris!). They bring in a RB named Turbo! They reload on defense and keep their defensive coordinator. Brian is not a believer and predicts 8-4, Alex thinks they'll be really good, Seth is somewhere in between. 2 - Oregon They get Dante Moore back with the regular trope of skill position players. The offensive line is a big question mark and they replace both of their coordinators with in-house hires. The defense has some good players including one of the best corners in the country. They have a Rimmington-quality center but that's about it for the line (the starting right tackle is a true freshman). Their talent is undeniable, but can they win the big game?  1 - Ohio State Last year they had the Penn State schedule of this year. Sayin's stats looked unbelievable through 12 games, then they couldn't score against Indiana and Miami. That needs to improve. Jeremiah Smith is a generational wide receiver, Chris Henry Jr will be really good but probably not quite Jeremiah Smith's level. The offense will need to make that next step. The defense was what was considered generational on SP+. They lose 9 of 11 starters on defense but they always have a conveyer belt. They had to portal some guys, though. They'll probably take a step back on defense but the offense stepping forward probably cancels that out. The schedule is pretty brutal.    4. Lightning Round Starts at 2:09:30 Predictions!
