This week: The Treasury Department announced it's killing an anti-corruption measure that requires shell companies to identify their beneficiaries. Felix Salmon, Elizabeth Spiers, and Emily Peck explain how a key aspect of the bipartisan Corporate Transparency Act ended up on the chopping block—and what lobbyists and the Trump administration stand to gain from its elimination. Then, the hosts discuss the billionaires who are buying themselves fun little treats like the L.A. Lakers and Broadway theaters. And later: how Italian bank vaults full of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese are dealing with the extreme heat.In the Slate Plus episode: What's $6 Million Between Friends?Want to hear that discussion and hear more Slate Money?

Jeff Bliss discusses the severe threats posed by a potential "super El Niño," which could lead to massive coastal erosion, mudslides, and heavy rains in Los Angeles, similar to the damage seen in previous severe weather years. He also reports on active wildfires in California, such as the Timber Fire in Monterey County and the Bug Fire near the Nevada border, noting that humans cause roughly 90 to 95% of these blazes. Shifting to entertainment, Bliss describes the highly anticipated opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which features the "Skywalker Grill"—a restaurant causing excitement among Los Angeles foodies for its Michelin-star potential. Additionally, Bliss covers the landmark $12.8 billion purchase of the Los Angeles Lakers by a group involving Jared Kushner and Bob Iger. Finally, he touches on the legal controversy surrounding the Paramount-Skydance merger and David Ellison's threat to move production out of Hollywood. (1)
TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 8-14-2026.Jeff Bliss discusses the severe threats posed by a potential "super El Niño," which could lead to massive coastal erosion, mudslides, and heavy rains in Los Angeles, similar to the damage seen in previous severe weather years. He also reports on active wildfires in California, such as the Timber Fire in Monterey County and the Bug Fire near the Nevada border, noting that humans cause roughly 90 to 95% of these blazes. Shifting to entertainment, Bliss describes the highly anticipated opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which features the "Skywalker Grill"—a restaurant causing excitement among Los Angeles foodies for its Michelin-star potential.

Finally, he touches on the legal controversy surrounding the Paramount-Skydance merger and David Ellison's threat to move production out of Hollywood. (1)Gene Marks shares insights from White House advisor Kevin Hassett regarding the validity of government economic data, with Hassett favoring durable goods orders and unemployment claims over revised surveys. Marks reports a generally positive outlook for small businesses, citing an uptick in optimism and a four-year high in manufacturing activity driven by the AI and data center explosion. He notes that while tariffs and $4 gasoline remain concerns, many businesses are absorbing costs without significant impact on sales. Marks characterizes the United States as an "entrepreneur's paradise" because of the ease of starting a business and the high availability of capital. He highlights that nearly half a million new business applications are filed monthly, supported by record levels of private debt and venture capital. Marks concludes that despite various uncertainties, the small business sector remains resilient and is continuing to hire. (2)Jim McTague provides a report on the "mixed" economy of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, observing that retail activity is picking up due to back-to-school shopping despite inflationary pressures. He notes that discount giants like Costco are packed as shoppers seek relief from high prices, while tourism traffic at local hotels and amusement parks has lightened midweek. McTague also highlights local opposition to data centers, making them a contentious political issue for upcoming elections. A central focus is the "Heritage Paris" patisserie at Park City Mall, where a French chef sells premium handcrafted pastries. McTague describes high-end offerings like the "Popcorn Illusion" pastry priced at $17.95, illustrating a market for luxury food even in a cautious economy. He humorously recounts his own difficulty resisting these treats while on a low-carb diet, emphasizing that the shop is a significant draw for local residents. (3)Lorenzo Fiori describes a "disaster" situation in Europe caused by severe drought and record heat, with water restrictions implemented in Swiss towns and critically low levels in northern Italy's Po River. The drought has turned the normally green Alps brown and disrupted lake navigation. Simultaneously, Sicily's Mount Etna has entered a prolonged eruption phase, spewing ash for seven days and forcing the cancellation of 700 flights at Catania airport during the peak tourist season. Fiori notes the chaos caused by tourists seeking "eruption selfies" in dangerous areas. For a cultural reprieve, he recommends the Bernina Express rail journey, which reaches the highest railway point in Europe. He also shares a traditional recipe for polenta with Gorgonzola cheese, paired with local Valtellina wine, though he expresses concern that the drought may soon impact milk production from Alpine cows. (4)Bob Zimmerman details the robotic mission by startup Catalyst to rescue NASA's Swift Space Telescope, utilizing innovative software to maneuver a servicing craft despite thruster failures. He highlights SpaceX's massive Starshipproduction line in Boca Chica, noting that four prototypes are ready for monthly launches and upcoming orbital refueling tests. Zimmerman also discusses Lockheed Martin's strategic investments in rocket startups like Firefly to secure launch capabilities. On the international front, he reports on Poland's successful protest against Starlink roaming restrictions and Vietnam's first satellite contract with an American company, SpaceX, signaling a shift toward U.S. ties. Additionally, Zimmerman covers the State Department's efforts to pull India away from Russian space partnerships and NASA's collaboration with the Department of Energy on nuclear propulsion for Mars. He concludes with breathtaking imagery of stars orbiting the Milky Way's central black hole. (5)Alex Wright, author of Empire of Ink: The Printers, Rogues, and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper, Part Two: Wright recounts the history of American newspapers, focusing on the Civil War's impact on journalism. He highlights George Smalley's groundbreaking combat reporting at Antietam, where Smalley wrote a vivid account on a night train to secure the "scoop of all scoops" for the Tribune. Wright also explores "soldier-published" newspapers that provided a slice of camp life and the origins of Stars and Stripes. Moving west, he describes the dangerous life of frontier editors, such as Mark Twain, who carried revolvers to defend against aggrieved readers and occasionally fled town to avoid duels. Wright explains how newspapers became "gold mines" by discovering the revenue potential of patent medicine advertising, which once accounted for half of all ads. He concludes by drawing parallels between the fragmented, anything-goes media landscape of the 19th century and today's digital era of content creators and AI. (6)Henry Sokolski examines the "Golden Dome," a proposed $185 billion space-based missile defense project that mirrors the Cold War-era SDI. He warns that the program's lack of transparency is "suicidal" for its funding, as Congress remains in the dark about its primary mission. Sokolski notes that while technology is closer to practicality than 40 years ago, current threats are often low-cost drones rather than intercontinental missiles. In the energy sector, he highlights Elon Musk's $10 billion "Project Crystal Sun" solar factory in Texas, which Musk frames as capturing the "fusion reactor" of the sun. Sokolski observes that even conservative states are voting with their pocketbooks for renewables as battery storage investments double. Finally, he touches on a mutual defense pact between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, suggesting a "Sunni NATO" is emerging due to a lack of confidence in U.S. security guarantees. (7)Angela DiFulvio explains a theoretical method for detecting nuclear weapons in low Earth orbit to prevent catastrophes like the 1962 Starfish Prime experiment, which destroyed a third of existing satellites. She describes an "inspector" satellite designed to induce a unique radioactive signature from fissile material using high-energy protons. DiFulvio details technical challenges, such as "pulse shape discrimination," to distinguish weapon-related neutrons from background cosmic radiation in the harsh space environment. She suggests that an international agency like the IAEAmight oversee these inspectors to ensure space remains weapon-free. DiFulvio emphasizes that while tests can occur in classified environments, more research is needed on the survivability of sensing electronics. She warns that a modern orbital nuclear detonation would be catastrophic for global infrastructure, specifically mentioning the vulnerability of massive constellations like Starlink. (8)

Mark Walter bought the Lakers in October at a $10 billion valuation and just sold them to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for $12.5 billion, clearing a $2.5 billion profit in under a year. Covino and Rich react to the biggest flip in sports history and then dig up the other great steals: Steinbrenner getting the Yankees from CBS for $10 million, Jerry Jones buying the Cowboys for $140 million, Blockbuster passing on Netflix at $75 million, Facebook grabbing Instagram for a billion, Manhattan for a satchel of beads, and the part of the Babe Ruth sale nobody bothers to explain. There is also a $600 hair restoration helmet that showed up on a clearance shelf in Idaho for fifty bucks. Then it is time for They Might Be Ass, where Rich goes through the Arizona Cardinals schedule game by game and explains why the Carson Beck preseason hype is a trap and why Vegas setting the win total at three and a half is still too generous. And because today is the anniversary of South Park's 1997 debut, the guys count down their top three adult cartoons of all time, with Beavis and Butt-Head, Ren and Stimpy, Gravity Falls, Family Guy and South Park all in the mix. Overpromised is the weekly uncensored bonus pod from Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. #FSR #CRSHOW #OverpromisedSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Lakers are reportedly being sold for $12 billion to Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner—just 18 months after Mark Walter purchased the franchise. What could another massive valuation mean for NBA expansion in Las Vegas and Seattle? And somehow, Luka Doncic could already be playing for his third majority owner.

The sweetest White House Press Sectretary ever, Karoline Leavitt, is going home to her little kids to be a mom for now. Great for her! We discuss her incredible journey and future... and who may take the podium next. Cheers to Kennadi Fuhrman of DeSoto, Kansas for the being he first female ever to win the Patriot Games. And wait until you hear how much she won for a scholarship! Ty Masterson posts a brutal takedown of opponent Cindy Holscher, who has mocked Jesus in the past. At training camp, Travis Kelce met with the media for the first time since his wedding. We play a big chunk of it as it's very interesting... especially his vocal techniques. The Royals get swept for the 10th time this season and are in very rare company as one of only three AL teams not in the playoff hunt. Oh, and Salvy got hurt. The Lakers get sold to Jared Kushner's brother and Jason Sudeikis gets on stage at Madison Square Garden to sing the Ted Lasso song.
The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 1 (8.12) The biggest news in SoCal? The LA Lakers have been flipped in record time, sold for a staggering $12.5 billion to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger. Previous owner Mark Walter walked away with a cool $2.5 billion profit after owning the team for only a few months. Can The Foosh even name the Lakers’ all-time greats? With seven planets aligning tonight, Timmy brings in the Duke of Sports Eric Sklar to break down the wild deal. Walter had bought a majority stake for $10 billion in June 2025, only for federal insurance impropriety questions to surface a month ago — and now this lightning-fast $12.5 billion flip. Still mourning Jackie the bald eagle, who passed after weeks of intensive care at a SoCal raptor center, Timmy welcomes new KFI reporter Jason Nathanson to the studio to track what will happen with her remains. And California Attorney General candidate Michael Gates calls in to talk campaign, challenging Rob Bonta for the job. We’re rooting for him! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Americans' credit card debt just climbed to $1.26 trillion — nearly an all-time record — with about 60% of people carrying a balance at 22% interest. Here's how NOT to be part of that statistic, and why paying the minimum is a trap.

Jayden Daniels vs. LSU, Lakers Sell for $12B & NFL Preseason Is HereJayden Daniels has told LSU it can no longer use his name, image or likeness, reopening the debate over how college football should honor its legends. Daniels is a Heisman winner, but Joe Burrow won a national championship and Billy Cannon remains the only LSU player whose number is officially retired and completely out of circulation.
