Hey there! It's Michael here, and welcome back to another Happy English Saturday Short, your quick tip for speaking English better.Today, let's look at two really common and super natural phrases you'll hear in everyday English: “You know what?” and “Guess what?” We use both of these when we want to grab someone's attention - usually before we share some news, an idea, or an opinion. They make your speech sound lively and conversational and they're kind of like how we say, “Hey, listen to this!”Like:  “You know what? I think I'm finally getting used to this cool weather.” Or: “You know what? I've decided to start going to the gym again.”And guess what? is even more playful. We use it when we're excited to share news or something surprising. Like:  “Guess what? I passed my driving test!”  Or:  “Guess what? My favorite band is coming to Japan!”When you use you know what or guess what, your tone matters. Both phrases sound best with energy and a rising intonation - it builds a little excitement before you say your news. So remember...you know what and guess what, are great for starting a story, sharing good news, or giving an opinion in a fun, natural way. And you know what? I think you're gonna sound even more fluent when you start using these in your conversations!Oh, and don't forget to follow or subscribe so you don't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week's Saturday Short.

Welcome back to The Tom Bilyeu Show! I'm Tom Bilyeu, and on today's episode, Drew and I go deep on some of the biggest global and technological changes shaping our future. We start by diving into Japanese history, dropping into a high-speed "speedrun" of how this incredible culture evolved from its samurai roots, through hardship, into a futuristic powerhouse—and what their current struggles with demographics and immigration might mean for us all. As a self-professed Japanophile, I reflect on what makes Japan unique, the explosive power of its storytelling, and why preserving cultural differences is absolutely essential in a world that's trending toward sameness. From there, we pivot to the wild side of world events: ongoing tragedies in Ukraine, the politics underlying tense global negotiations, and what happens when powerful nations push the limits. We also crack open the future of work, discussing those leaked Amazon documents about potentially replacing 600,000 American workers with robots. I share my unfiltered perspective on why automation is inevitable—not because of some villainous billionaire, but because all of us keep demanding cheaper, faster, and better. Throughout the episode, we tackle practical ways to overcome hopelessness and negativity, the importance of self-talk, and the need to constantly adapt as automation and AI rewrite what's possible. Get ready for hard truths about universal basic income, worker dignity, and why focusing on a smooth transition is the most critical task we have in front of us. If you want to challenge your assumptions, laugh, and get ready for the realities of tomorrow, you're in the right place. Let's do this!

Japan rewired its politics: a power shift, a woman at the helm, and a minority government forced to bargain for every vote. What follows when high approval collides with hard math - aging demographics, weak yen, and defense budgets racing past old taboos? Analyst Tobias Harris, author of The Iconoclast and writer of Observing Japan, joins The Jacob Shapiro Podcast to unpack the country's most surprising election in years - one that produced its first female prime minister and a government held together by negotiation. Expect sharper debates on security, energy, food, and China ties, with South Korea and Washington watching. Is this real generational change or a new face for old factions?

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: The latest controversy to blowup about the Alamo should be in reverse. It's not that the Lt. Gov. called on the head of the Alamo Trust to resign and that she is now gone, as the press wants to present it.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss the latest rumors about the iPhone Air not selling as well as Apple hoped. There have been many recent reports suggesting the ‌iPhone Air‌ has failed to catch on with consumers, with Apple moving to cut production due to lower-than-expected sales. The first warning sign was the ready availability of the ‌iPhone Air‌ at launch, suggesting lower than expected demand. Last week, Japan's Mizuho Securities said that Apple would reduce iPhone Air production by at least one million units because of underwhelming sales performance. Nikkei then reported that Apple planned to cut production significantly almost to "end-of-production levels." KeyBanc Capital Markets said that there is "virtually no demand" for the ‌iPhone Air‌ and that Apple would "drastically" cut production as a result. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo then clarified that suppliers have been asked to reduce capacity by more than 80% between now and the first quarter of 2026, and some components with longer lead times will be discontinued by the end of 2025. Samsung is apparently seeing a similar response to its super thin ‌iPhone Air‌ rival, the Galaxy S25 Edge. Reports indicate that Samsung canceled a next-generation model after disappointing sales. According to Kuo, the ‌iPhone Air‌'s poor performance suggests that the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro models already "cover the majority of high-end user demand," so there is little room for new market segments. All of the other new iPhones are all believed to be selling better than expected, with Apple increasing up production of these models. Apple apparently planned three more ‌iPhone Air‌ generations, but that could now change in light of real-world sales data. We could get yet another new iPhone form factor as soon as 2026, with rumors suggesting that Apple will debut a foldable model alongside the iPhone 18 lineup. 

President Donald Trump told reporters Argentinian beef might bring down costs in America. Representative Massie had something to say about that. Another traffic accident that killed three people is being attributed to an illegal Indian immigrant. The House Oversight Committee has announced they are creating an ICE tracking app that will help illegals avoid ICE. Takaichi Sanae is Japan's first female Prime Minister, but that's not all. Far East?

Welcome to the Tom Bilyeu Show, where we tackle the headlines others shy away from and dig deep into the forces shaping our world today. In this episode, I'm joined by Drew as we break down an avalanche of provocative stories: Trump making audacious moves on the global stage—from promising a fast and furious end to Hamas, to waging war on Mexican drug cartels, and even labeling domestic opponents like BLM and Antifa as terrorist organizations. Across the globe, Japan ushers in its first female prime minister, who immediately turns her gaze toward mass deportation of illegal immigrants, while Ireland erupts in outrage over a shocking crime tied to migration. We don't just report the headlines—we dissect the strategy, the mindset, and the ripple effects. How does the carrot-and-stick approach play out in today's volatile climate? What happens when executive powers override due process? Where do we draw the line between keeping America safe and giving one side too much unchecked authority? We dive into the anxiety fueling populism, the real stakes in proxy wars with China, and the unintended consequences of political tribalism. And of course, we take a turn into the unexpected: Palmer Luckey, the billionaire innovator, drops some wild health advice that will make you question everything you know about fitness and vices. The Tom Bilyeu Show isn't here to give you the simple answers—we're searching for truth, exposing blindspots, and inviting skepticism. If you're ready for a conversation that challenges conventions—from conspiracies and mass protests to questions about power and narrative—let's dive in. What's up, everybody?

Our guest is Andrew Tsui who is the founder and president of The Ike Jime Federation https://ikejimefederation.com/ based in Maryland. Ikejime is a unique, traditional Japanese technique to treat fish right after it is caught. Ikejime dramatically reduces fish's suffering and extends its freshness. The results are much better taste and flavor, as well as less waste of fish. Ikejime is not known enough outside of Japan, but Andrew is passionately trying to educate commercial and recreational anglers about the awesome technique. In this episode, we will discuss how exactly Ikejime is done, what types of fish are suited to the Ikejime treatment, the difference between Ikejime and Shinkeijime, how you can learn the Ikejime technique and be certified by Andrew's Ike Jime Federation and much, much more!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

At the Institute for the Study of War, her research won acclaim for forecasting the rise of ISIS. She has authored over 50 publications, briefed top U.S. government agencies, appeared in print and broadcast media, and testified before Congress. A West Point graduate, she served as a U.S. Army officer with 34 months in country deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan supporting signals intelligence, human intelligence, and counter-corruption roles. About Babel Street Babel Street delivers mission-grade risk intelligence for organizations across government, defense, and the private sector to expose hidden identities, secure vendor networks, and identify threats. Our AI-native platform empowers the most trusted organizations in the world with the strategic advantage needed to stay ahead of risk and protect their missions. Headquartered in the U.S., Babel Street has an established presence in Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, and the U.K. For more information, visit babelstreet.com.  Webinar: Securing Tomorrow: The Critical Role of Intelligent Vendor Vetting in Government Supply Chains For more information on how intelligent vendor vetting can protect your supply chain and help ensure compliance with new U.S. government contractor requirements, register for the upcoming webinar, “Securing Tomorrow: The Critical Role of Intelligent Vendor Vetting in Government Supply Chains,” to be presented by Babel Street and Carahsoft on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern. Key Takeaways: Who Stole Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar's Tequila In “Who Stole Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar's Tequila”, Joe Lynch and Jessica McFate, Sr. Director of Intelligence Solutions at Babel Street, discuss how national security intelligence methods are now vital for solving commercial theft and securing global supply chains. OSINT: The New Tool in Commercial Investigations: Learn how Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT)—the same methodology used to forecast global threats like the rise of ISIS—is now being repurposed to trace and recover high-value commercial assets, such as stolen celebrity tequila, by monitoring online chatter and digital footprints. From Counter-Corruption to Corporate Supply Chains: Understand how the principles of counter-corruption and signals intelligence (SIGINT) that Jessica applied during her military deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan are directly relevant to identifying and neutralizing vulnerabilities in modern-day vendor networks and supply chains. The Tequila Heist as a Case Study for Organized Crime: Discover how the theft of a high-profile brand like Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar's tequila is rarely an isolated incident, but often a sign of sophisticated organized criminal enterprises using the dark market, which requires a "mission-grade" approach to identify the true threat actors. The Power of AI in Exposing Hidden Identities: Explore how Babel Street's AI-native platform is used to rapidly sift through global, multilingual data to "expose hidden identities" involved in commercial theft, showing that the sheer volume of data makes human-only analysis impossible. Forecasting and Pre-Empting Brand Risk: A key lesson is the shift from reacting to theft to predicting it. Learn how intelligence professionals can apply forecasting models to identify and secure distribution choke points or compromised vendor relationships before a high-value product goes missing. The Strategic Cost of Reputational Damage: Beyond the physical loss of inventory, the episode highlights the immense brand and reputational risk for celebrity-backed products. The use of advanced risk intelligence is necessary to protect a brand's integrity and consumer trust following a public security failure. Bridging National Security and Private Sector Intelligence: The conversation will demonstrate the growing imperative for private companies to adopt the rigor and discipline of national security intelligence methods to secure their operations against global threats, transforming how they approach risk mitigation.

Jon Herold kicks off a slow news day with a sharp mix of wit and skepticism on The Daily Herold. From Gavin Newsom's shocking Medicaid fraud loophole that funneled billions in federal funds to California, to Russia's legalization of crypto for international trade, and Trump's eyebrow-raising pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Jon dissects the headlines with his trademark humor and candor. He dives into Japan's first female prime minister, Trump's new $3 billion farmer aid package amid the government shutdown, and the FBI's massive mafia-linked gambling probe that's shaking the NBA. Along the way, Jon reacts to Candace Owens' claims about Charlie Kirk, debates Thomas Massie's political motives, and even considers the Coast Guard's true place in government, with plenty of offbeat tangents and laughs.

This week Dr. John McManus joins in to talk about how WWII films have evolved over time, including our picks for best and worst movies ever made about the war.About our guest:John C.

This professorship is bestowed by the University of Missouri Board of Curators on the most outstanding scholars in the University of Missouri system. McManus is the first ever Missouri S&T faculty member in the humanities to be named Curators' Distinguished Professor. As one of the nation's leading military historians, and the author of fifteen well received books on the topic, he is in frequent demand as a speaker and expert commentator. In addition to dozens of local and national radio programs, he has appeared on Cnn.com, Fox News, C-Span, the Military Channel, the Discovery Channel, the National Geographic Channel, Netflix, the Smithsonian Network, the History Channel and PBS, among others. He also served as historical advisor for the bestselling book and documentary Salinger, the latter of which appeared nationwide in theaters and on PBS's American Masters Series. During the 2018-2019 academic year, he was in residence at the U.S. Naval Academy as the Leo A. Shifrin Chair of Naval and Military History, a distinguished visiting professorship. His current project is a major three volume history of the U.S. Army in the Pacific/Asia theater during World War II. He is the host of two podcasts, Someone Talked! in tandem with the National D-Day Memorial, and We Have Ways of Making You Talk in the USA alongside Al Murray and James Holland. John C. McManus is a native of St. Louis. He attended the University of Missouri and earned a degree in sports journalism. After a brief stint in advertising and sports broadcasting, he embarked on a literary and academic career. He earned an M.A. in American history from the University of Missouri and a Ph.D in American history and military history from the University of Tennessee. He participated in the University of Tennessee's Normandy Scholars program and, in the process, had an opportunity to study the battle first hand at the Normandy battlefields.

Making extensive use of this material, as well as sources from many other archives, he published two important books, The Deadly Brotherhood: The American Combat Soldier in World War II in 1998, and Deadly Sky: The American Combat Airman in World War II in 2000. Shortly after the publication of Deadly Sky he accepted a position as Assistant Professor of U.S. Military History at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (at the time known as University of Missouri-Rolla) where he now teaches courses on the Civil War, World War II, Vietnam, American Military History, and the American Combat Experience in the 20th Century. He is on the editorial advisory board for World War II magazine and Global War Studies. In 2004 he published a two volume series on the American role in the Battle of Normandy.

The second book, The Americans at Normandy: The Summer of 1944, the American War from the Beaches to Falaise was published in November 2004. In 2007-2008 he published four new books. 

Tommy and Ben discuss reports that Trump's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was a disaster, and that his summit in Hungary with Russian President Vladimir Putin may be canceled. They also cover the administration's threats to punish Colombia and Venezuela, including authorization of the CIA to conduct covert action in Venezuela, and other warning signs that the administration is pushing for regime change. They also talk about the rapid return of violence in Gaza since the “peace deal” and right-wing calls for war to resume, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff's painful interview with 60 Minutes and the lack of a credible plan for Palestinian governance moving forward, an account from a member of the Freedom Flotilla detailing her detention by the IDF, and the story of a journalist who was attacked by settlers in the West Bank. Then they highlight Japan's first female prime minister and gruesome details published in a memoir by one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims.

   In one of the most elitist arrogant interviews you could eve see, former Biden Press Secretary "circle back" Jen Psaki is under fire for questioning if JD Vance's wife is safe being with him.   It's so out of touch and insane we are starting to realize that the so called "polarization" in America has almost nothing to do with a very normal majority of people.    Meanwhile, in Trump world we get comments about Obama's Library construction debacle, recovering money from the DOJ for all the investigations and a popularity contest in India.  It's true, you never know what topics this president will speak about.    Japan's new Prime Minister's first move is the creation of the Ministry of Deportation, Walmart is making a couple big moves.  In sports, a pair of Chiefs fans make a stink about their ejection and I'm actually glad they got the boot for being jerks.   Russell Wilson fires back at a former coach.    Bobby Witt Jr. speaks out on what he says went wrong with the Royals this year.  The World Series features a pitcher that's had an amazing journey to get here this year.  Michael Jordan shares an incredible story in an NBC interview.  And our Final Final is the great Randy Johnson's explaining why he doesn't sign jerseys at autograph show.  It will warm your heart.

The Japanese parliament elects the new leader of the Liberal Party, Sanae Takaichi, as the country's first female prime minister. She holds conservative views and is not known to push for women's rights. Also, the US Vice President JD Vance arrives in Israel, just two days after the Gaza ceasefire was tested by deadly clashes, and how deep brain stimulation helped a woman with Parkinson's regain her ability to play the clarinet.
