Imagine Battlefield, but dying matters. That's the WARDOGS closed alpha in one sentence — and after a weekend in it, we're calling it the most polished alpha we've ever played. WARDOGS is Bulkhead and Team17's 100-player tactical shooter: three factions, one randomized control zone, first side to 100 points wins. You start with $10,000, you buy your loadout from in-game vendors, and when you die you lose the gear AND the money you spent on it. The money carries between matches. You can loot the guy you just killed and walk away with a level 30 kit you couldn't buy for another six hours. In this episode: what the alpha actually plays like, why the economy isn't the gimmick people think it is, how three-way faction warfare changes your strategy, the 256 square kilometre map, destructible towers, the reviving system Battlefield should steal, TTK and gunplay, why an Arma 3 King of the Hill mod is the reason none of this feels half-baked — and the two things that genuinely pissed us off. Plus the final verdict, the scores, and the one thing that could still ruin this game. Raz thinks it's a flawless alpha. Jake wants free look.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 4 (7.6) Lou Penrose fills in for Tim Conway Jr. and the show opens with a powder keg. Newport Beach's Fourth of July detonates into full-blown chaos — riots, looting, and a TikTok takeover where every wannabe "reporter" roams the sand with a microphone in one hand and a White Claw in the other. 403 arrested. NBPD body-cam audio that's straight-up unhinged. The Newport melee deepens. Where did these kids even come from to trash the city? Word is Nevada and Arizona rolled in. Fake IDs, public intox, fireworks busts, and more jaw-dropping police body-cam. "Disheartening" — that's your SAT word of the day, straight outta USC. Talkbacks light up the lines. Callers react to the viral flash mob footage: cops on horseback charging the crowd, batons out, illegal fireworks exploding across the beach, fights erupting, people sprinting through the streets, and looting at the local Pavilions. Roman candles and police summon everyone. Then the mood shifts to the wallet. Microsoft moves to cut 4,800 jobs, joining the wave of AI-driven tech layoffs. Is AI the golden goose or is it killing the egg? Lou digs into the "good jobs" myth, the shift from "Made in USA" to "Assembled in USA," and how decades of trade policy shipped millions of manufacturing jobs overseas. Electronics, textiles, toys — nearly all made abroad now. Can the race to bring jobs back actually be won? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

June 27, 2026The reflecting pool fiasco represents the Trump administration perfectly,  The remodeling of the West Colonnade, which Trump said he had paid for, was in fact paid for by the taxpayers, Trump is redirecting taxpayer money from the National Park Service, The looting of our tax dollars is turning the resources of the country to the administration's own ends, People are paying with their lives, as research funds are being allocated for political reasons, and faith in science and experts is being destroyed, Hegseth is decimating the US Military, firing more than two dozen military leaders, The US and Iran are trading strikes again and Trump is making apocalyptic threats against the country, Mike Johnson promised “to take care of” a group of Trump supporters against a possible Republican loss in the midterms.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

In April, a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier was indicted for using classified intelligence to make bets online. It comes as online prediction markets have exploded in popularity. The war in Iran and capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro have revealed suspiciously-timed bets on when an attack might happen, even the fate of world leaders. Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on the phenomenon of betting on war and the creation of a whole new category of insider trading. Andy Bast and Jessica Kegu are the producers. A year-long investigation by 60 MINUTES examines what might be the greatest art heist in history: the theft of thousands of sacred stone, bronze and gold artifacts from religious sites across Cambodia. Correspondent Anderson Cooper reports on Douglas Latchford, the British dealer who masterminded the looting amidst genocide, civil war and political turmoil and sold to the world's wealthiest collectors and most prestigious museums. The Cambodian government has spent more than a decade tracking it all down and wants their history and heritage brought home. This is a double-length segment. Michael H. Gavshon and Nadim Roberts are the producers.

Author, financial analyst, and former Green Beret E.M. Burlingame joins John Odermatt to expose a 400-year-old predatory financial system — what he calls the "Financialist Kill Chain" — and argues that the same seven-step playbook used to hollow out empires throughout history is now being run on the United States. Burlingame traces the system's origins from the Praetorians of Rome through Venice, Amsterdam, and finally to the City of London, which he describes as a separate financial power occupying the Anglosphere since 1688. The conversation covers how debt, asset seizure, economic destabilization, and elite coercion have been used as weapons against civilizational peoples — and why Burlingame believes the U.S. is currently in the final phase of collapse and abandonment. He also examines why Russia and China have so far resisted the kill chain, what Trump's constraints are, and what ordinary Americans can actually do to push back. Burlingame's unique background — spanning investment analysis, algorithmic trading, Special Forces targeting, and computational engineering — gives him a rare lens to see patterns most analysts miss.

The "Clavicular of Podmaxxers", David Waldman, is joined by Greg Dworkin today in mogging MAGA, amongst others, on today's KITM. Jeffrey Epstein! That is why this is all happening, but don't knock the grift. There's Donald K. Trump's patriotic Jan 6 slush fund grift, the $1.776 billion Looting of America, marked down from $10 billion Just for you… and because Donald couldn't get the $10 billion. $8 billion off, and it's still corruption like nobody's ever seen, and anyhow, he and his boys have plenty of time to pick up the rest. That is, if the rest of the gang doesn't wuss out on him, or the cops don't stop him. Gops might drop Trump's billion-dollar ballroom grift, at least a billion dollars of it. There are still the drone-proof drone empire, and the Trump Presidential Spider Hole to grift. And, the Arch grift, which is as the Founders would have wanted. There is also the Trump-Bibi-Iran War grift, racking up an extra $40,000,000,000.08 In gas so far. David discovered a bargain with E15 gas, which might not be a great bargain in the long haul, but his car will just learn to toughen up in these tough times. Democrats could be in disarray, but so are Republicans, the good news is that Dems are used to it. 90% of the Colorado Democratic Party voted to reprimand Governor Jared Polis. Voters generically like Democrats but specifically dislike Republicans. Once they get to know Dems, they might like them better. Trump wins more, even as more hate him. Voters would prefer the Democrats they don't know over Trump. RIP, Barney Frank, who would have had fun, and would have been fun in today's politics.

Donald Trump—as a private citizen—sued our government, which he runs, and then "settled" the lawsuit with $1.8 billion that he stole from the U.S. Treasury. See, he needs a secret fund of taxpayer money so he can pay not only reparations to his band of Jan 6 rioters, but also to incentivize future (election) criming on his behalf. In a special emergency TNL, Tim, Sarah, and JVL break it all down. Plus, Martha explains how Iran's demands for money may be why Trump won't officially end the war.

This week, we're featuring a recent, live interview that I did at Firestorm books with Vicky Osterweil, anarchist writer and worker, author of In Defense of Looting and more recently The Extended Universe: How Disney Killed The Movies and Took Over the World (Haymarket, 2026). Vicky is a member of the Collective of Anarchist Writers (CAW), and you can also find her on Bluesky and what she's thinking about what she's watching at Letterboxd. During the chat Vicky talks about intellectual property and how it overlaps between entertainment and other elements like technology and medicine, the shaping and limiting effects IP has on popular culture and imagination, the film industry and more.

Jen and Noam return a day late, because one of us has emergency podcast duties now. Of course we have to start with the WHCD and the attempted assasination attempt on Trump. Everyone is fine, and nobody much seemed like they felt they were in any real danger, as evidenced by the way everyone involved acted during and after the incident. And of course, it's not an assasination attempt without people claiming it was staged, but this time around we have a new group of people making the claim. It also wouldn't be an assasination attempt without people trying to engagement farm and push an unrelated agenda, this time it's the stalled White House ballroom project.  Speaking of people acting out online, the NYT decided to interview nepo babies Hasan Piker and Jia Tolentino about stealing is cool. Jen doubts that either one of them has ever stolen a damn thing ever, because they're both massive tryhards. Nevertheless, we make fun of them and the idea that stealing from Whole Foods is OK but paying someone to bring you food in the rain is not.  As for Iran, things seem to be at an impasse. Trump announced peace talks, Iran quickly pointed they agreed to no such thing, Trump pretended to be the one to call things off. How this saga ends nobody seems to know. Having a plan would be good, but unlike oil tankers in the Strait of Hormutz, that ship has already sailed.  For our WAWC, Noam tells us about how he is catching up on Euphoria in order to watch the third season that is now airing. Jen tried to watch that show once, but it was too bleak even for her (and that's pretty damn bleak). She has been vicariously watching season three through reaction videos on YouTube, and it sure doesn't seem like it's gotten any less disturbing.   

Nathan Rittenhouse and Cameron McAllister dive into a thought-provoking discussion on their Thinking Out Loud podcast, analyzing a controversial New York Times article titled “The Rich Don't Play by the Rules. So Why Should We?” and the growing cultural conversation around “micro looting,” corporate theft, and shifting moral standards. Drawing on a real classroom story about middle school students' attitudes toward stealing, Nathan and Cameron explore how language, culture, and modern political commentary—featuring figures like Hassan Piker and ideas influenced by G.K. Chesterton—are reshaping public perceptions of property, ethics, and justice. This episode offers sharp cultural analysis, Christian worldview insights, and social commentary on capitalism, morality, and the normalization of theft, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in politics, philosophy, and current cultural debates.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

What happens when stealing isn't just ignored—but openly encouraged? In this explosive breakdown, we dive into a shocking cultural shift where mainstream media voices and political figures appear to normalize crime—from “micro looting” to outright bank robbery. When influential platforms start redefining right and wrong based on ideology, what does that mean for society? This episode unpacks the rhetoric, the implications, and the bigger question: If theft becomes “justified,” where does it stop? Segment Breakdown / Key Points: The rise of the term “micro looting” and what it really means Why openly admitting theft would destroy your career—until now The normalization of crime in certain media and political circles The dangerous logic of “justified theft” based on ideology How moral standards are being redefined in real time The cultural and economic consequences if this mindset spreads Primary Message (Takeaway): When society starts excusing crime based on who commits it or why, the rule of law erodes—and the consequences won't stay theoretical for long. Tone & Delivery Notes (for Tara): Start conversational: “Imagine telling your boss you shoplift…” Build tension with real-life scenarios (workplace, neighborhood, social settings) Shift into sharper commentary once the media examples hit Keep pacing tight—this one thrives on escalation and contrast End with a strong rhetorical question: “If this is acceptable now… what's next?” Suggested Social Clip Moment: “Imagine telling your boss, ‘Yeah, I steal all the time—it's justified.' You'd be fired. But now? Some people are calling it activism.” Hashtags (Main): #MicroLooting #MediaBias #CrimeDebate #CulturalShift #RuleOfLaw #PoliticalCommentary #NewsAnalysis First Comment Hashtags: #PodcastClip #BreakingDownTheNews #SocietyShift #LawAndOrder #MediaCritique #TrendingTopics Custom Labels (comma-separated): media bias, crime normalization, micro looting, political rhetoric, cultural shift, law and order, social commentary, podcast segment

A growing narrative is taking shape—and it's raising serious questions. In this episode, we examine a trend in media and commentary circles where ideas like “micro looting” are being framed as protest, and more extreme rhetoric is entering mainstream discussion. From opinion pieces in major outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post to controversial podcast appearances featuring figures like Hasan Piker, the conversation around crime, protest, and morality appears to be shifting. We break down what's being said, how it's being framed, and why it's sparking intense reactions. Segment Breakdown / Key Points: The emergence of the term “micro looting” in public discourse How some opinion pieces frame petty theft as protest The role of media platforms in amplifying controversial viewpoints Discussion around rhetoric tied to historical figures like Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx Why extreme political language gains traction in modern media ecosystems Public reaction and concerns about where these narratives could lead Primary Message (Takeaway): Language shapes perception—and when definitions around crime, protest, and morality shift, it can influence how society debates accountability and justice. Tone & Delivery Notes (for Tara): Open with a relatable Friday energy hook Use “watch what's happening” framing to build urgency Let the escalation carry the segment—from petty theft → broader rhetoric Keep delivery sharp but grounded—focus on what's being said, not just reaction Close with a thought-provoking line: “If definitions change… what follows?” Suggested Social Clip Moment: “When petty theft gets rebranded as protest—and worse starts getting justified—where does that road end?” Hashtags (Main): #MicroLooting #MediaNarratives #PoliticalDiscourse #CulturalShift #NewsBreakdown #PodcastClip #CurrentEvents First Comment Hashtags: #TrendingNow #MediaAnalysis #PublicDebate #LawAndSociety #HotTopic #NewsTalk Custom Labels (comma-separated): media narratives, micro looting, political rhetoric, cultural analysis, news commentary, modern discourse, social trends, podcast segment

What would happen if someone casually admitted to theft at work… or at a neighborhood cookout? Probably silence. Maybe consequences. But in today's media climate, some voices are reframing theft as protest—and even flirting with more extreme rhetoric. In this episode, we break down a growing narrative appearing in outlets like The New York Times and The New Yorker, alongside controversial commentary from figures like Hasan Piker. From “micro looting” to debates over morality and class, this conversation is escalating fast. We unpack what's being said, how it's being framed, and why it's raising serious concerns across the spectrum. Segment Breakdown / Key Points: The social stigma of theft—and why that norm is being challenged “Micro looting” as a concept: protest or rationalization? Media amplification of controversial viewpoints The role of podcasts and opinion platforms in shaping narratives References to ideological frameworks tied to Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx Public reaction to rhetoric involving crime and political identity Where the line is—and what happens if it keeps moving Primary Message (Takeaway): When cultural norms around right and wrong start shifting in public discourse, it forces a broader conversation about accountability, consistency, and where society draws the line. Tone & Delivery Notes (for Tara): Open with the relatable scenario hook (workplace / barbecue) Lean into the humor early, then pivot into seriousness Build escalation: awkward confession → normalization → broader implications Keep it grounded in what's being said publicly, not speculation Close strong: “If the line keeps moving… who decides where it stops?” Suggested Social Clip Moment: “Imagine telling your boss you shoplift—and calling it ‘protest.' That used to end careers. Now it's trending.” Hashtags (Main): #MicroLooting #CulturalShift #MediaWatch #PublicDiscourse #NewsBreakdown #PodcastClip #TrendingNow First Comment Hashtags: #HotTopic #MediaAnalysis #LawAndSociety #Debate #CurrentEvents #TalkRadio Custom Labels (comma-separated): micro looting, media narratives, cultural shift, political rhetoric, public discourse, crime debate, social norms, podcast segment

Why the Democratic Party’s promise of “restoration” misses the mark; how decades of economic crises reshaped American politics, and why returning to center means chasing a target that keeps moving right. One side built a durable monument to white nationalist capitalism while the other became its world-class pit crew. The fight isn’t about competence or committee chairs. It’s about whether Democrats can offer an actual vision for the future instead of just patching up the damage Republicans leave behind.

George Soros, the billionaire attempting, with considerable success, to destroy the civilized first-world, is in the news AGAIN, with Trump yesterday making a Truth Social post correctly implicating Soros AGAIN in his nefarious schemes to destroy white first-world civilization. It's important, I think, to understand not just the underlying details of how Soros goes about his planned destruction—the complex networks of relationships and findings—but also the broader strategy he and his allies employ.Because that strategy is fundamentally the looting of the West to finance its own destruction, the opening of the bank vault to allow its resources to be taken—and if we can close the vault door, that largely solves the rest of the problem, whatever Soros might wish to do. 

Andrea joins Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman to expose the transnational looting spree and warn Stephen Miller will turn Venezuela into a new Alcatraz. First, we look at who stands to get rich off Trump's illegal invasion. Devin Nunes and a squad of Trump Media cronies just took over a company that tried to bid $10 billion for Citgo, Venezuela's oil crown jewel, right as their boss plotted a secret invasion. So who  won Citgo? Why, MAGA billionaire Paul Singer, a vulture capitalist who serves as Trump's ATM and hand-picked Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. Who else is a big winner? The Republican Party's longtime backers, Exxon. Just as Trump hoped invading Venezuela would boost his plummeting approval ratings, Maduro threatened to invade oil-rich Guyana to distract from his own corruption. Now that Maduro is no longer harassing Exxon in Guyana, Exxon's stocks are soaring along with the rest of Big Oil. But the darkest "follow the money" story goes beyond oil. The private prison industry rakes in a fortune thanks to Trump's cruelty. El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison holds 40,000, but Trump and Stephen Miller want space for 80,000 people kidnapped from the U.S. Construction takes years; so Venezuela offers the obvious solution: the "New Alcatraz." Outsourcing prisoners to a lawless, torture-filled transnational Gulag, a story censored by Bari Weiss's CBS News, is the most troubling crisis of MAGA's illegal invasion of Venezuela and co-rule with a violent oil mafia. There's always hope, but it requires a blueprint and courage. The Venezuelan people proved their 2024 election victory through heroic citizen vote-counting: a model of resistance that we in the U.S. must study to reclaim our own democracy. We must align with these transnational forces for good to dismantle the global crime syndicate. We warned you this would happen. Now, we must organize, stand up, and remain defiant.  Show Notes: Devin Nunes and others linked to Trump Media became officers of a company soon after it made an unsuccessful $10 billion bid for Venezuelan-state-owned Citgo Petroleum's U.S. assets by Wendy Siegelman https://newstracs.com/devin-nunes-and-others-linked-to-trump-media-are-officers-of-a-company-that-bid-for-citgo/2026/01/01/ Learn from Venezuela's opposition: The Official Unofficial Record How do you count almost 12 million votes if you're not the government?

This one is more entertaining than anything. Mr. Andrew Shaw mentioned this looting of the eastern Qing Tombs event when I interviewed him earlier in the year. If you recall, he wrote that book called "Spoil." This time, I'm focusing on the events that went down in July 1928 at the Qing Eastern Tombs 清东陵 northeast of Beijing. This all took place in the final moments of the Warlord Era, right after the Central Plains War. This act perpetrated by warlord Sun Dianying 孙殿英 epitomized the venality of these parasites.   To get early access to all the new episodes coming in February 2027, consider Patreon or CHP Premium.

Law professor Mehrsa Baradaran joins Nick and Goldy to reveal how neoliberalism wasn't just a misguided economic theory—it was a “quiet coup” that rewired our laws, courts, and institutions to elevate capital above democracy. Drawing from her new book The Quiet Coup, Professor Baradaran explains how this ideology became like the air we breathe: a pervasive worldview that shapes our politics, our markets, and even the way we understand ourselves. They explore how elite power captured the machinery of government, why the market has become a runaway algorithm fueling inequality, and what it will take to break free from an ideology so deeply embedded we mistake it for common sense. Mehrsa Baradaran is a professor of law at the University of California, Irvine, and one of the nation's leading experts on banking law, inequality, and the racial wealth gap. She is the author of The Quiet Coup: Neoliberalism and the Looting of America, The Color of Money, and How the Other Half Banks. Her research traces how financial policy, legal structures, and political power shape inequality in the United States.

The U.S. economy has already crashed. The stock market is just the last one to figure it out. In this essay, Max talks about what happens when hegemonic economies collapse and how the U.S. has been able to keep things afloat while the bottom falls out. He draws parallels to the crash of 1929 and the subsequent Depression and speaks to the differences. There is a path forward for Progressives but it won’t be a presidential run. The DNC will make sure of that. But we can borrow from Russell Vought’s playbook to build a coalition of support on the ground.
