The Blues are celebrating their 30th anniversary with their inaugural Blues Hall of Fame. It'll honour the legends, stories, and defining moments that have shaped the club since its inception in 1996. The first class of inductees will be honoured at a formal lunch today. Former All Blacks coach and Blues board member John Hart told Kerre Woodham that initially, while they catch up on history, the Hall will focus on the players and coaches. But after that, he says, the ‘Guardians' class will be added, which honours people like managers, administrators, supporters, or sponsors.

Episode 51 finds Cam Cooksey flying solo with a packed house. He walks through Trump's True Social posts: drones dropping like butterflies in the Strait of Hormuz, the Iran "excursion" clocking in at just six weeks against Afghanistan's 543, an EU trade ultimatum tied to America's 250th birthday, and the Lula da Silva meeting that has everyone capitulating to the golden age. Trump's UFO/UAP file release sparks Cam's take on interdimensional beings, government grain-of-salt warnings, and a teaser for his upcoming Space Revolution appearance with General Quast on May 20. The Victory Day for World War Two proclamation gets a deeper read: Cam believes it may be signaling a current victory, not just a 1945 commemoration. The Presidential Fitness Test comes back with Bryson DeChambeau on pull ups and 90-year-old Gary Player doing push ups at the White House. Bobby Cox, Atlanta Braves legend, is remembered. Jim Brewer's "central casting" clip lands hard. And John Hart, the Declaration signer who hid in barns and caves, is the American of the Week.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with John Hart, a government transparency expert and CEO of Open the Books. He reveals his concerns about a significant systemic crisis of fraud, waste and mismanagement within the US government.Our discussion begins with the shocking case of alleged fraud in Minnesota. Hart suggests billions of taxpayer dollars may have been misappropriated due to inadequate oversight and perverse incentives. He argues this isn't an isolated incident but a symptom of a much larger national problem rooted in opacity, bureaucratic expansion and a lack of accountability.Hart delves into the “fraud iceberg”, highlighting how misaligned incentives and complex systems permeate various sectors like healthcare, entitlement spending, defence budgets and federal agencies. These factors lead to substantial waste, sometimes legal and sometimes outright fraudulent. Recent estimates suggest hundreds of billions and potentially trillions of dollars are lost annually due to inefficiency and exploitation.We also explore the government's highly touted reform effort, “Doge”, and its apparent failure. Hart believes the real issue lies not with investigators but with political leadership, coordination and Congress's inability to act on existing knowledge.Finally, we consider the future. Could artificial intelligence revolutionise transparency and empower citizens to monitor government spending in real-time? Or will existing power structures adapt and persist?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Our show is independently supported by you, consider signing up to our substack to get added benefits like ad-free and extended episodes here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A private eye called out to a quiet farm on a still September afternoon finds two sisters poisoned and shot, a brother in the wind, and a barn even the animals won't go near.THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: On September 5, 1893, on a farm outside Winnebago, Illinois, widow Bridget Hart returned from a brief errand in her potato field to find her twenty-six-year-old daughter Mary lying face-down on the porch steps, bleeding from her mouth and nose, and her twenty-three-year-old daughter Nellie staggering in the barn with a green stain of arsenic-laced Paris green pesticide running down her dress. Before she died the following afternoon, Nellie identified her own brother — thirty-five-year-old John Hart, the family's black sheep, recently returned home after years of drifting and feuding with his siblings over his share of their late father's $50,000 estate — as her attacker. He had forced both sisters to drink the poison and shot each of them at close range, Mary four times. John fled on horseback but was captured that same night in a Rockford barber shop, where he calmly drank a small dose of laudanum as police closed in. He was tried in January 1894, convicted in under an hour despite a defense that blamed his brothers, claimed malaria and mental illness, and accused the dead girls themselves of conspiring to poison him, and was hanged in the Winnebago County jail yard on March 16, 1894 — bringing to a close a case made stranger still by the fact that his father had taken his own life two years earlier with the very same poison.ORIGINAL CASE SOURCES…https://www.hauntedrockford.com/the-hart-family-murders/WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

Janie Nitze and Justice Neil Gorsuch have written a book for young readers,   Heroes of 1776: The Story of the Declaration of Independence, bringing to life the individuals—famous and overlooked—who shaped one of the most consequential documents in world history. The book delves into the personalities, debates, and risks that defined the summer of 1776, revealing the Declaration not simply as a statement of ideals, but as a bold act of defiance undertaken by real people facing uncertain futures. From the familiar names like Jefferson and Adams to lesser-known figures like Elizabeth Lewis or Emily Geiger whose contributions have often been overshadowed, this conversation uncovers the rich human tapestry behind America's “birth certificate.”This episode invites listeners to reconsider the Declaration as both a political document and a profoundly personal commitment—one that continues to echo through the ongoing story of the American experiment.ORDER THE BOOK HERETell us what you think!

Founded in the 1980s by designer Mark Moussa, in four decades Arteriors has grown from a boutique decor company into a global brand focused on the trade. CEO John Hart joined the company in 2024, after the Covid home boom had faded away—he's revamped the C-suite, re-focused Arteriors on product, and is looking to make a big splash at High Point Market this spring.    In this episode, Hart speaks with host Dennis Scully about why tariffs didn't change the company's business as much as you'd think; why he's not betting on a housing turnaround; and why, in a time where everyone else is trying to go further up the market, he's happy for Arteriors to stay exactly where it is.  This episode is sponsored by Ernesta and CryptonLINKSArteriorsDennis ScullyBusiness of Home

Guest John Hart, CEO of OpentheBooks.com, joins to discuss the longtime issue of "use it or lose it" budgeting within government. Why do agencies need to waste money at the end of the year in order to receive more the next year? Discussion of slush funds, fraud, wasteful spending, and more.  Cubans begin to revolt as they battle the stand off with the United States. Could we see the end to communism in our hemisphere?  As the Iranian conflict continues, the media seems more interested in showcasing and celebrating anti-American messaging, rather than cover the issue.

Are we living through the collapse of academic authority? Historian and independent researcher John Hart argues that the real breakthroughs in understanding—from WWII analysis to megalithic studies—are no longer coming from universities, but from ordinary people doing extraordinary scholarship. In this conversation we explore what Hart calls “the new Golden Age of Amateur Scholarship”—a decentralised intellectual awakening driven by curiosity, open archives, digital tools, and the freedom to think across disciplines. Areas to explore: Why institutional academia is losing cultural authority How amateurs are rewriting history, archaeology, and anthropology The role of open‑source intelligence and digitised archives Why cross‑disciplinary thinking is now happening outside universities Examples from WWII research, megalithic studies, and forgotten histories Whether this shift represents decline, renewal, or both What the future of knowledge looks like when anyone can contribute This episode is for anyone who reads, digs, questions, cross‑references, and refuses to outsource their curiosity. If you've ever felt that the most interesting ideas come from outside the academy—you're not alone.

The 105th New Zealand Golf Open has teed off at Millbrook. It's a unique Pro-Am event, where 156 professionals compete alongside amateur partners, and is the only Open tournament in the world to be played in this format. Australian Ryan Peake won the title in 2025, and has returned to defend it in 2026. Chairman John Hart told Kerre Woodham the Pro-Am format is the reason the tournament is so successful, and that if it were solely professionals, they'd struggle to hold the funding. He says it's established itself as one of the leading Pro-Am tournaments in the world, and has gotten fantastic recognition from tours they work with and professional players.

Newt talks with John Hart, CEO of Open the Books. Open the Books is a non-profit that operates the largest private database of public spending, encompassing 10 billion data points, including federal salaries, state checkbooks, and municipal spending. Their mission is to make this information accessible to journalists, researchers, activists, public officials, and taxpayers in near real-time. They have partnered with Citizen Portal to integrate artificial intelligence, allowing taxpayers to compare political statements with actual spending. This collaboration aims to prevent fraud by using AI for pattern recognition and prediction, similar to how Galileo's telescope revolutionized astronomy. The initiative, called Aqueduct, seeks to enhance citizen engagement by providing clear insights into government spending. The collaboration is expected to have a significant impact on government transparency both in the U.S. and globally.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HOUR 1 Hour 1 – https://RushToReason.com pulls no punches as John Rush dives headfirst into culture, freedom, and accountability—starting with a Super Bowl weekend that exposed just how divided the country has become. Why did a halftime show spark outrage, canceled orders, and online pile-ons against small businesses? And what does that say about tolerance, choice, and who really believes in freedom? John is joined by Mike Jansen of Plumberoos (https://plumberoos.com/), who breaks from the corporate, commission-driven model to explain what “old-school service” actually looks like in today's world. Is it possible to run a successful business without upselling fear and urgency? What happens when trust—not pressure—is the foundation? The hour then pivots to deeper questions about government control versus personal responsibility, from proposed Colorado legislation impacting digital privacy to the economics of captive pricing at airports and major events. Is regulation protecting people—or punishing common sense? And why are consumers shocked by prices in places where choice is limited? This hour challenges listeners to rethink outrage culture, media narratives, and where freedom quietly slips away when no one's paying attention.

Chris Whitaker didn't come to writing the usual way. His path began with a series of harrowing experiences in young adulthood that left him searching for tools to process trauma and find peace. As a boy, he'd found comfort in libraries, and it was there he discovered a book on writing-as-therapy that encouraged him to fictionalize his pain and set stories in places of joy. Writing became a lifeline—and the foundation for the emotionally rich characters that define his work. Chris' personal story deeply informs his bestselling novels, including We Begin at the End and our July JHBC selection, All the Colors of the Dark, resonating with readers worldwide through their authenticity and heart. Join us as we explore his remarkable journey—from pain to page—and the healing power of storytelling. Thought-provoking Quotes: “I didn't set out to write such a sprawling, massive book. I had a simple, top line pitch and then I began writing it and it evolved into like this just epic book.” – Chris Whitaker “I thought the book's probably not going to fit neatly into a genre because life never does, you know? There might be a crime in it, but it's the least interesting thing in the book. It's going to probably be a coming of age story, definitely a story of friendship, definitely a look at family and first love and, and pirates and beekeepers as well. Obviously.” – Chris Whitaker “I wanted everything to lead somewhere. Everything that you think is a throwaway in the story, every line that seems like it doesn't quite fit, it leads somewhere. The entire story is a network that is leading you towards the answer.” – Chris Whitaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Jen's post about reading All The Colors of the Dark while on a ski trip – http://bit.ly/4kVA5qt We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker - https://amzn.to/4lrONFL Amy Einhorn, Editor - https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/people/article/93078-amy-einhorn-named-fiction-publisher-at-crown.html  The Last Child: A Novel by John Hart - https://amzn.to/4nyXcsT Nita Prose, author - https://www.nitaprose.com/ Tall Oaks by Chris Whitaker - https://amzn.to/40dYSOc A Prayer for Owen Meany: A Novel by John Irving - https://amzn.to/4kb8UH9 Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow: A Novel by Gabrielled Zevin Guest's Links: Website - https://sites.prh.com/chriswhitaker Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chriswhitakerauthor/ Twitter - https://x.com/whittyauthor Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Learn why understanding the Declaration of Independence is important especially in these tumultuous times when patriotism is at an all time low. Discover why the Second Continental Congress decided to have a Declaration of Independence and how a committee of five of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston were chosen to draft it. Explore why John Adams insisted that Thomas Jefferson draft it, and how the Committee and the Second Continental Congress changed Jefferson's draft. Hear the entire Declaration of Independence, the most profound words written in the English language that were approved by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.Most Americans have never read the entire Declaration of Independence and have a elementary grade level understanding of it. Most remember the soaring words of the second paragraph (“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among the are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”), and maybe the last clause (“we mutually pledge our to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor”), and have not reviewed in any detail the remainder of the 1320 words. The rest is not just taxation without representation. There were 27 grievances listed by the Founding Fathers, of which taxation without representation is but one. In addition to the amazing, stirring words we are familiar with, and with the exceptions of John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, nearly no one knows the entire roster of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The full roster of the signers is John Adams, Samuel Adams, Josiah Bartlett, Carter Braxton, Charles Carroll of Carrolton, Samuel Chase, Abraham Clark, George Clymer, William Ellery, William Floyd, Benjamin Franklin, Elbridge Gerry, Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, John Hancock, Benjamin Harrison, John Hart, Joseph Hewes, Thomas Hayward, Jr., William Hooper, Stephen Hopkins, Francis Hopkinson, Samuel Huntington, Thomas Jefferson, Francis Lightfoot Lee, Richard Henry Lee, Francis Laws, Philip Livingston, Thomas Lynch, Jr., Thomas McKean, Arthur Middleton, Lewis Morris, Robert Morris, John Morton, Thomas Nelson, Jr. , William Paca, Robert Treat Paine, John Penn, George Read, Caesar Rodney, George Ross, Dr. Benjamin Rush, Edward Rutledge, Roger Sherman, James Smith, Richard Stockton, Thomas Stone, George Taylor, Matthew Thorton, George Walton, William Whipple, William Williams, James Wilson, John Witherspoon, Oliver Wolcott, and George Wythe.Listen at your leisure to the amazing Declaration of Independence.

MIT professor, entrepreneur, and manufacturing visionary Dr. John Hart joins the show to continue the podcast's focus on what it will really take to bring back American manufacturing. Together, John and Barbara explore how revitalizing U.S. industry will require more than cutting-edge technologies—it will take collaborative ecosystems that span education, entrepreneurship, and workforce development. From insights into the latest trends in automation and 3D printing, to a bold rethinking of who today's “technologists” are, this conversation dives into what it takes to transform both greenfield and brownfield operations. With expertise drawn from the intersection of the lab and shop floor, Dr. Hart helps paint a picture of what's possible when ecosystems align—and how we can turn this manufacturing moment into lasting progress.   Show notes Subscribe to Barbara's LinkedIn Newsletter   Press Release: Siemens Founding Member of MIT Initiative designed to transform U.S. manufacturing through research, innovation and training   MIT Technology Review Insights, created in partnership with Siemens   Washington Post Live Podcast: Siemens CEO Barbara Humpton on the 'fourth industrial revolution' MARA Fireside Podcast: Barbara Humpton - Digital Energy & Prosperity
