Martha MacCallum, executive editor and anchor of The Story on Fox News and co-anchor of Fox News Politics, joined The Guy Benson Show today to react to Trump's headline-grabbing "f bomb" moment and unpack the latest developments in the deescalating Iran-Israel conflict. MacCallum explained why Iran's muted response to the United States signals a regime on the ropes, and warned that the ayatollah's grip on power may be waning, as "all nightmares do end," she said. She also explored whether the U.S. strikes against Iranian nuclear sites could become Trump's defining national security victory, like Obama's "Bin Laden" moment. Listen to the full interview below!

A view that AI could be used as a tool in school exams in the future. NZQA investigated 876 alleged exam breaches last year, and almost 60 involved AI. Principals believe the technology was used in some of the 200-odd authenticity breaches. Canterbury University Associate Professor of Digital Education Kathryn MacCallum told Ryan Bridge AI use is seen as cheating, which isn't always true. She says writing an essay can still be an assessment of a student's learning with AI, we just need to change the way we assess. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Richard "Alex" Murdaugh, a once-renowned South Carolina lawyer found guilty of the 2021 murders of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, is again making headlines.    On the grounds of the South Carolina State House in Columbia, Murdaugh's defense attorneys, Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, are scheduled to convene a press conference at 2:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday. They are expected to file a motion pleading for a retrial of this widely publicized case. The attorneys will reportedly unveil this new evidence, which, until now, remains a mystery, but they firmly believe it could be pivotal in warranting a fresh trial.    This latest twist in the saga of the Murdaugh family comes just a week after Murdaugh faced the stripping of some of his inmate privileges. He reportedly fed information without permission to the Fox Nation documentary titled "The Fall of the House of Murdaugh," leading to the punitive action from prison officials.    However, the legal battles are just one facet of the Murdaugh story. Emotionally charged revelations continue to emerge from family members, indicating that the case's implications run deep, affecting many lives.    Buster Murdaugh, Richard's surviving son, recently opened up in a candid interview with Fox Nation anchor, Martha MacCallum. He asserted his unwavering belief in his father's innocence. MacCallum posed the question that many have wondered: whether Buster ever harbored doubts about his father's role in the tragic events of June 7th.    MacCallum probed, "Did you ever go there and say, 'Maybe it's possible that he did this?'"    To which Murdaugh responded unequivocally, "No." He further explained his conviction, saying, "Because I think that I hold a very unique perspective that nobody else in that courtroom ever held. There are always two sides to the story. Now, they can pick which one they want to believe, but I think there's still a heck of a lot that still needs to be answered about what happened on June the 7th."    Murdaugh's conviction was secured after only three hours of jury deliberation, culminating in a sentence of two consecutive life terms.    Given the gravity of the case and the significant media coverage it has attracted, the announcement of possible new evidence and the motion for a retrial is anticipated to reignite public and media interest. The evidence, which remains under wraps for now, could potentially reshape public opinion and alter the course of legal proceedings. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Christopher MacCallum wyjechał pod namiot w rejon dzikich gór by uczcić swoje 34 urodziny. Wkrótce jego żona zgłosiła na policję jego zaginięcie. Na polu kempingowym Christophera już jednak nie było.

On Wednesday night, eight Republican presidential candidates gathered in Milwaukee for the first GOP primary debate. There was a lot on the line for each of them. But there was also an enormous amount at stake for the news organization that hosted the debate: Fox News. Consider the cross currents that the two Fox moderators, Martha McCallum and Bret Baier, had to deal with:  First there was Trump, who refused to participate and lashed out at Fox and its talent, including Baier, on social media. Then there was Tucker Carlson, McCallum and Baier's former star colleague who is in messy litigation with the network, and who nabbed Trump for himself and counter-programmed the evening with an interview that aired simultaneously with the Fox debate.  Then there was Rupert Murdoch hovering in the background. In the days before the debate there were new reports that the man who runs Fox, MacCallum and Baier's boss, has his own strong feelings about who the GOP nominee should be.  If that isn't enough, on the eve of the debate, several candidates who didn't qualify to be on stage threatened to sue.   Add to that the challenges of being the ones asking the uncomfortable questions in that arena on Wednesday. The candidates are primed to pounce on you if it serves their political interests. The boisterous crowd of partisans could turn on you at any moment.  So what was it like behind the scenes at the Fox News debate? How did the hosts prepare, including for a possible last-minute appearance by Trump? What did they think of the highly caffeinated Mike Pence interrupting them at every turn? What was the deal with DeSantis and Christie during that one hand-raising moment? And whose idea was that UFO question, anyway?  On this episode of Playbook Deep Dive, host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza asks Martha and Bret those questions and a lot more as they bring us inside what is perhaps the most important event of the GOP primary so far. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Martha MacCallum is the anchor and executive editor of "The Story with Martha MacCallum" on Fox News Channel. Bret Baier is the Fox News Channel's anchor and executive editor of "Special Report with Bret Baier" and chief political anchor of the network. Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.  Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.

Since 1901, thirty-one different leaders have run the national show. Whether their term was eight days or eighteen years, each prime minister has a story worth sharing. Edmund Barton united the bickering states in a federation. The unlucky Jimmy Scullin took office days before Wall Street crashed into the Great Depression. John Curtin faced the ultimate challenge of wartime leadership. John Gorton, Gough Whitlam and Paul Keating each shook up their parties' policies so vigorously that none lasted much longer than a single term. Harold Holt spent three decades in parliament, only to disappear while swimming off the coast of Victoria just under two years into his first term. John Howard's triple bypass is the stuff of legend. Julia Gillard overthrew Kevin Rudd and Kevin Rudd overthrew Julia Gillard, thus paving the way for Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull, Scott Morrison … And then came Anthony Albanese. With characteristic wit and expert knowledge, Mungo MacCallum and Frank Bongiorno bring the nation's leaders to life in this updated edition of a classic book. In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Frank Bongiorno about Mungo MacCallum's perspective on our political leaders, the two new chapters on Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese that he has contributed to this updated edition, and the affection and admiration Mungo retained for all our Prime Ministers - good, bad or indifferent.

There were less than two hours of proceedings on Day 7 of the Mass Casualty Commission. The process that was cut short by the winter weather last Thursday continued this morning, whereby lawyers for the various participants argued over whether, and if so when, certain officers might give testimony in the MCC. Today was dedicated mainly to discussing RCMP supervisors, including Staff Sergeants Halliday, MacCallum, Rehill, West, and O'Brien, along with Cpl. Mills, who was the supervisor for the Emergency Response Team (ERT). Each of the Staff Sergeants were involved in supervisory roles throughout the relevant timeframe, and the ERT squad (aka – the SWAT team) was called in to assist with the search for the killer. Unlike with the ‘regular' members of the RCMP, Commissioner MacDonald stated that for these supervisors, the question was not whether they would testify, but when. He said that there is expected to be a further Foundational Document prepared which deals with the ‘RCMP Command Decision Narrative', and that we can expect to hear from the officers who were calling the shots at that later (the exact time was not stated) time. Given the Commissioners' rejection of the NPF's expert last week, who was planning to argue for a blanket ‘trauma-informed' exemption from testifying for all officers, it seems unlikely the MCC will be inclined to make many broad statements about trauma experiences among police officers. They seem inclined, rather, to look at each individual on a case-by-case basis. That said, it also does not seem illogical in any way to suggest that there are distinctions between trauma directly experienced, and that which results from supervising the experiences of others. The (somewhat-manufactured) offence from the federal lawyers is unlikely to persuade the Commissioners otherwise. These questions around witnesses are key decisions for the Commissioners to make, and though Chief Justice MacDonald said they would be making them as soon as possible, he tempered expectations somewhat as well, and so I do not necessarily expect those decisions to be made public on Wednesday when the MCC proceedings continue. Instead, the plan for Wednesday is to have Commission Counsel, Roger Burrill, continue his presentations of the Foundational Documents, this one dealing with the overnight movements of the perpetrator. We will also hear from lawyers for the parties who have questions arising from that Foundational Document, and will recommend particular witnesses to address any gaps they identify or other questions they may have.

 'An impressive human being', 'an incredibly positive, loving vibe' - these are just some of the words others use to describe my guest this week.  Lynda McCallum's brave story has touched many who know her and I am humbled she has allowed me to share her journey here.Following her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and with the understanding and support of her husband Jim, Lynda competed in the 2018 NCHA Cutting Futurity placing second in Australia's largest Cutting event (for those of you who don't know about cutting horses, it's a pretty big deal!).In our interview, we chat  about the tools she used to put herself in that winning mindset when everything seemed to be against her.  Her tenacity and motivation can be applied to anyone wanting to excel in whatever endeavor they set their mind to.Then we delve into what its like living with MS, her fears and let-downs along with some remarkable coincidences and her hopes for the future.

AIDE    New bread making plant. CONGRESSWOMAN    [quiet] Bread making?  It looks like a giant robot centipede!  AIDE    [duh!] The tour?  They're about to-- TOURGUIDE    So pleased to see you, Congresswoman.  If you would step right this way? CONGRESSWOMAN    [confident] I am so pleased to be able to be the first to see your new breadmaking facility. TOURGUIDE    This is a great step forward [chuckles] in every sense of the word - for breadmaking, for the United States, and of course for the Puffy Loaf Corporation. MUSIC SCENE 2.    AMB    PUFFYLOAF OFFICE MUSIC SOUND    SWOOSH DOOR, HUSHED FOOTSTEPS MEGARA    [striding in] Why don't you jump out the window, Roger, remembering to shut the airlock after you?  You have about as much chance of talking me into marriage as a starving Ukrainian kulak now that Moscow's clapped on the interdict. ROGER    [bringing up the rear] A lot of things are going to be different around here, Meg, as soon as the Board is forced to admit that only my quick thinking made it possible to bring the name of Puffy loaf in front of the whole world. MEGARA    [musing] Puffy loaf could do with a little of that.  The way sales have been, it won't be long before Fairy Bread just waltzes right in and asks us to take the Big Jump. But just where does your quick thinking come in? You can't be referring to the helium--that was Rose Thinker's brainwave. ROGER    Well, I-- MEGARA    You've birthed another promotional bumble, Roger. I can see it in your eyes. I only hope it's not as big a one as when you put the Martian ambassador on 3D, live, and he thanked you profusely for the gross of Puffy loaves, assuring you that he'd never slept on a softer mattress in all his life! ROGER    Listen to me, Meg. Today--yes, today!--you're going to see the Board eating out of my hand. MEGARA    Hah! I guarantee you won't have any fingers left. You're bold enough now, but when Mr. Gryce and those two big robots come through that door-- ROGER    Now wait a minute, Meg-- MEGARA    Hush! They're coming now! SOUND    DOOR SWOOSH MUSIC SCENE 3.    AMB    OUTDOORS TOURGUIDE    Each of our walking mills is a self-contained production factory.  CONGRESSWOMAN    Spike to loaf in one operation? TOURGUIDE    [pleased] You've read our literature. CONGRESSWOMAN    Of course.  [whispered]  Thanks, Hank. AIDE    Right. CONGRESSWOMAN    So it-- uh-- AIDE    Crawls all over the field, harvesting the wheat--? TOURGUIDE    Harvests, threshes, quick-dries, and grinds. CONGRESSWOMAN    Impressive. TOURGUIDE    Ah, but that's just the front half. AIDE    Of course - it must bake as well. CONGRESSWOMAN    And then bread comes out the - um - the "southern" end? TOURGUIDE    [chortles]  Why don't we go and see?  Hop on. SOUND    DOORS CLOSE, CAR MOVES CONGRESSWOMAN    Why, they're terribly long, aren't they? TOURGUIDE    Thirty gleaming and fully-automated yards of breadmaking efficiency! CONGRESSWOMAN    What's... that? TOURGUIDE    What? CONGRESSWOMAN    Up there? AIDE    Soviet spy planes? CONGRESSWOMAN    They're awfully small for planes. TOURGUIDE    [alarm] Oh my goodness!  It's-- it's--- MUSIC SCENE 4.     MEGARA    [singing the company jingle]  Made up of tiny wheaten motes And reinforced with sturdy oats, It rises through the air and floats-- The bread on which all Terra dotes! TIN PHILOSOPHER    Thank you, Miss Winterly.  Though a purely figurative statement, that bit about rising through the air always gets me--here. SOUND    CLANG AS HE TAPS HIS CHEST TIN PHILOSOPHER    This is a historic occasion in Old Puffy's long history, the inauguration of the helium-filled loaf-- ROSE THINKER    So Light It Almost Floats Away! TIN PHILOSOPHER    --in which that inert and heaven-aspiring gas replaces old-fashioned carbon dioxide.  Kudos for Rose Thinker, whose bright relays genius-sparked the idea‑‑ ROSE THINKER    [titters] TIN PHILOSOPHER    --and also for Roger Snedden, who took care of the ... nuts and bolts, so to speak. MUSIC SCENE 5.    SOUND    HELICOPTER NOISE HUNGOVER    I'm only about a half hour away-- SOUND    [nagging wife noise on phone] HUNGOVER    It was a business meeting, dear.  I couldn't very well say-- SOUND    [nagging wife noise on phone] HUNGOVER    Right.  You're right.  You're always-- SOUND    [nagging wife noise on phone] HUNGOVER    I have the list right here.  Bread-- SOUND    THUMP HUNGOVER    What the devil?  Birds? SOUND    [nagging wife noise on phone-query] HUNGOVER    Jeepers creepers! SOUND    THUMP THUMP THUMP MUSIC SCENE 6.    AMB    OFFICE GRYCE    By the by, Snedden, that was a brilliant piece of work getting the helium out of the government--they've been pretty stuffy lately about their monopoly. ROGER    [guilty] Uh, yeah - about that-- TIN PHILOSOPHER    [cough noise] Ever since the first cave wife boasted to her next-den neighbor about the superior paleness and fluffiness of her tortillas, mankind has sought lighter, whiter bread. Indeed, thinkers wiser than myself have equated the whole upward course of culture with this poignant quest. ROSE THINKER    Yeast was a wonderful discovery--for its primitive day. Sifting the bran and wheat germ from the flour was an even more important advance. GRYCE    Skip ahead.  We all know the history.  TIN PHILOSOPHER    [miffed] Bread is now twenty times stronger, by weight, than steel, and of a lightness so great that it has even been capitalized on by our conscienceless competitors of Fairy Bread with their enduring slogan: 'It Makes Ghost Toast'. ROSE THINKER    That's a beaut, all right, that ecto-dough blurb. SOUND    HER CALCULATING NOISE ROSE THINKER    Wait a sec. How about—“There'll be bread / Overhead?” SOUND    CLANK AS TIN KICKS HER TIN PHILOSOPHER    [quickly hissed with import] Rises through the air is figurative - not literal. SOUND    HER CALCULATING MADLY ROSE THINKER    Of course.  [covering] I-I-I... wonder what the stuff tastes like. TIN PHILOSOPHER    [relaxed again] I wonder what taste tastes like GRYCE    Well Rose, I'm glad you keep trying to outjingle those dirty crooks at Fairy Bread, anyway.  I'm sure you'll come up with something. MUSIC SCENE 7.    AMBIANCE    OUTSIDE SOUND    LAUNDRY FLAPPING JUNE    [clothespins in mouth] And I said to her, I said-- KATHY    What in blazes!!! JUNE    [gasp] That's not what I said! KATHY    No!  Look!  Look! JUNE    Great googley moogley  - whatever d'you think those could be? KATHY    Spy... things! JUNE    Soviets! KATHY    [urgent] Pass me the walkie talkie! JUNE    Where--? KATHY    In the laundry basket! MUSIC SCENE 8.    AMB    PUFFYLOAF OFFICE TIN PHILOSOPHER    The next great advance in the baking art was the substitution of purified carbon dioxide for the gas generated by yeast organisms, thus leaving no corpses in situ. ROSE THINKER    Ew.  But even purified carbon dioxide is itself a rather repugnant gas. TIN PHILOSOPHER    Therefore, we of Puffy Loaf are taking today what may be the ultimate step toward purity - we are aerating our loaves with the noble gas helium! ROSE THINKER    An element which remains virginal in the face of all chemical temptations and whose slim molecules are eleven times lighter than obese carbon dioxide! MUSIC SCENE 9.    SOUND    END OF HYMN PREACHER    Amen.  And now let us give thanks to the Lord.  Hallowed be his name.  CONGREGATION    Amen. CHILD    Look at that!  Out the window! SOUND    SLAP CHILD    [annoyed] Ow! PREACHER    Our father, that art in heaven, look down upon us wretched sinners, forgive us for our annoyance of others. CONGREGATION    [murmur, almost a chuckle] PREACHER    For we are repentful.  Give us this day our daily-- SOUND    THUMP ON WINDOW PREACHER    Holy Cow! MUSIC SCENE 10.    TIN PHILOSOPHER    I give you - the helium loaf! GRYCE    Hear Hear. SOUND    APPLAUSE GRYCE    And now for the Moment of Truth. Miss Winterly, how is the helium loaf selling? SOUND    TAPPING KEYS MEGARA    Uh... SOUND    MORE FRANTIC TAPPING MEGARA    [horrified] It isn't, Mr. Gryce!  Fairy Bread is outselling Puffy loaves by an infinity factor.  So far this morning, there has not been one single delivery of Puffy loaves to any sales spot!! Complaints about non-delivery are pouring in! GRYCE    [snarling] Mr. Snedden!  What bug in the new helium process might account for this delay? ROGER    Uh... I can't imagine, sir, unless - just possibly - there's been some unforeseeable difficulty involving the new metal-foil wrappers. GRYCE    Metal-foil wrappers?  Were you responsible for those? ROGER    Yes, sir.  Last-minute recalculations showed that the extra lightness of the new loaf might be great enough to cause drift during stackage.  Metal-foil wrappers, by their added weight, took care of the difficulty. GRYCE    [warning]  And you ordered them without consulting the Board? ROGER    [sweating]  Yes, sir. There was hardly time and-- GRYCE    You fool!  I noticed the order for metal-foil wrappers, assumed it was some sub-secretary's mistake, and canceled it last night! MUSIC SCENE 11.    RADIO MOSCOW    In other news, the glorious Kremlin announces it will brook no interference in its treatment of the Ukrainian upstarts.  This flying bread is clearly a bourgeoisie invitation to join the capitalists in cloud cuckoo land.  GOVERNMENT    official press release, United States state department.  As we have no defense contracts with the Puffy loaf Corporation, we can take no responsibility for their erratic delivery methods. RADIO MOSCOW    Citizens are warned to report any instances of the airborne bread, particularly any low-flying loaves.  They have been reported as booby-trapped!  Reports have been coming in all morning of deaths.  The Capitalist running dog lackeys will do anything to damage our national contentment. MUSIC SCENE 12.    ROGER     [stunned] You-- you canceled the [squeak] order?  [gasp] And told them to go back to the lighter plastic wrappers? GRYCE    Of course!  Just what's behind all this, Mr. Snedden?  What got you so worried, when our physicists demonstrated months ago that the helium loaf was safely stackable in light breezes - even up to Beaufort's scale 3.  TIN PHILOSOPHER    Why would a change in wrappers result in non-delivery? ROGER    Er-- ah-- er...  Well, you see, the fact is that I.... MEGARA    Hold it!  Triple-urgent message from Public Relations, Safety Division. Tulsa-Topeka aero-express makes emergency landing after being buffeted in encounter with vast flight of objects initially described as brown birds. GRYCE    What's this got to--? MEGARA    [over him] After grounding safely near Emporia--no fatalities--pilot's windshield found thinly plastered with soft white-and-brown material.  [astonished and horrified] Emblems on plastic wrappers embedded in material identify it incontrovertibly as an undetermined number of Puffy loaves cruising at three thousand feet! MUSIC SCENE 13.    DELHI TELEFAX    Telefax to the United States.  No millet shortage here.  Misleading report of blight on crops.  Delhi is in no need of relief packages and can feed own people.  Need no additional help.  Expecting usual deliveries by end of week. MUSIC SCENE 14.    ROGER    [blurting] All right, I did it!  But it was the only way out! Yesterday morning, due to the Ukrainian crisis, the government stopped sales and deliveries of all strategic stockpiled materials, including helium gas. ROSE THINKER    How heavy-handed.  [titters] ROGER    Puffy's new program of advertising and promotion, based on the lighter loaf, was already rolling.  There was only one thing to do, there being only one other gas comparable in lightness to helium. MEGARA    You didn't! ROGER    I did.  I diverted the necessary quantity of hydrogen gas from the Hydrogenated Oils Section of our Magna-Margarine Division and substituted it for the helium. MUSIC SCENE 15.    MODERATOR    The debate rages as to what to do with the consistently buoyant loaves.  The U.S. Army had this to say— GENERAL    Extreme measures are being considered, possibly even to the extent of using fusion technology to dissipate the flock. MODERATOR    But at a rally yesterday, scientists spoke out-- SOUND    RALLY [on TV; filter] SCIENTIST     [on TV; filter] Exploding a bomb among the loaves would be devastating, setting off a chain reaction!  We must send a message – no more deaths from flying bread! CROWD     [cheering] MUSIC SCENE 16.    GRYCE    [quiet horror] You substituted ... hydrogen ... for the ... helium? TIN PHILOSOPHER    Hydrogen is twice as light as helium. ROSE THINKER    And many times cheaper. ROGER    Yes!  I substituted hydrogen!  The metal-foil wrapping would have added just enough weight to counteract the greater buoyancy of the hydrogen loaf. TIN PHILOSOPHER    So, when this morning's loaves began to arrive on the delivery platforms of the walking mills-- ROGER    [miserable]  Exactly. GRYCE    [dangerous rumble] Let me ask you, Mr. Snedden... did you expect people to jump to the kitchen ceiling for their Puffybread after taking off the metal wrapper, or maybe reach for the sky if they happened to have the misfortune to unwrap the stuff outdoors? ROGER    Mr. Gryce, you yourself have often assured me that what people do with Puffybread after they buy it is no concern of ours. MUSIC SCENE 17.    DOOMSAYER    [on filter] ...and he did say unto the prophet Breadediah to watch the skies – yea, for even the staff of life may be used to smite, and manna may fall from the heavens and crush the unworthy! TV HOST    What do you think of this disturbing trend in apocalyptic jargon, Father O'Malley? FATHER O'MALLEY    The pope hasn't ruled yet on the bread's miracle status.  I expect it depends a great deal on where it finally touches down, Phil.  Until then, it's all up in the air. MUSIC SCENE 18.    ROSE THINKER    [metallic gasp] Oh, boy--hydrogen!  The loaf's unwrapped.  After a while, in spite of the crust-seal, a little oxygen diffuses in. An explosive mixture. Housewife in curlers and kimono pops a couple slices in the toaster. Boom! GRYCE    Holy Canola! ROGER    [groan] SOUND    METALLIC KICK TIN PHILOSOPHER    So you see, Roger, that the non-delivery of the hydrogen loaf carries some consolations. ROSE THINKER    Oh, yes. TIN PHILOSOPHER    And I must confess that one aspect of the affair gives me great satisfaction, not as a Board Member but as a private machine. You have at last made a reality of our theme song.  It indeed now 'rises through the air'. ROSE THINKER    By now, half the inhabitants of the Great Plains must have observed our flying loaves! GRYCE    The hell you say!  Stop the mills! MEGARA    Absolutely, sir. TIN PHILOSOPHER    A sensible suggestion.  But it comes a trifle late in the day. If the mills are working to capacity, approximately seven billion Puffy loaves are at this moment cruising eastward over Middle America. ROSE THINKER    Recall that a six-month supply for deep-freeze was being prepared-- TIN PHILOSOPHER    And since the current per-person consumption of bread, due to its matchless airiness, is eight and one-half loaves per day. GRYCE    Aaaargh!  MUSIC SCENE 19.    STOCKHOLM TELEFAX    Telefax to United Nations Food Organization.  Stockholm applauds your actions and stands ready to monitor the situation, with hope of collaboration in endeavors not yet considered.  [basically saying nothing at all] MUSIC SCENE 20.    GRYCE    [spluttering] You!  You-- you...! MEGARA    Hold it!  Flock of multiple-urgents coming in! News Liaison: information bureaus swamped with flying-bread inquiries.  Aero-express-lines: Clear our airways or face law suit. U.S. Army: Why do loaves flame when hit by incendiary bullets? ROSE THINKER    Oh, boy! MEGARA    U.S. Customs: If bread intended for export, get export license or face prosecution. Russian Consulate in Chicago: Advise on destination of bread-lift. And some Kansas church is accusing us of a hoax inciting to blasphemy--but I'm not sure why. ROGER    I'm dead. MEGARA    [near-hysteria] Roger Snedden!  You've brought the name of Puffy loaf in front of the whole world, all right!  Now do something about it! ROSE THINKER    Oh, boy!  This looks like the start of a real crisis session! Did you remember to bring spare batteries? SOUND    METALLIC KICK MUSIC SCENE 21.    HAWKER1    Cameras!  Bread cameras here!  Guaranteed to take picture of objects moving rapidly through the sky! HAWKER2    Cold cuts!  Get ready for the sandwich of a lifetime!  Cold cuts!  Special for today, buy two pastrami, get your condiments for free!  HAWKER3    Bread nets!  Make sure you can catch your sandwich needs as they fly by!  Buy one for the kiddies! HAWKER4    Psst!  Tickets?  Need a ticket?  I got the 28th floor, the 32nd floor… maybe even, the 40th floor?  How far you wanna go? MUSIC SCENE 22.    SOUND    WIND, HIGH UP SOUND    GUNSHOTS, SUBMACHINE GRYCE    Take that! SOUND    STUMBLING FOOTSTEPS ROGER    [Heavy breathing, panicky, approaching] GRYCE    Stay back! ROGER    Whoa!  [trying to be casual]  Fancy meeting you here, Mr.Gryce! GRYCE    Fancy?  We're 70 stories up!  What sort of a coincidence is that?  Get off my building! ROGER    Hey.  No worries.  Just thought you could use a new can of oxygen. GRYCE    [mollified] Ah, nah - I got plenty. ROGER    Okey-dokey.  [deep breath, then a gasp! Trying to speak without squeaking]  uhh....  breathtaking view from up here, eh? MUSIC SCENE 23.    NEWS1    A confidential and reliable source has told this reporter that both the united states and soviet tracking systems have mislaid triangulation of the errant herds of bread. NEWS2    They say it was misplaced when it flew into a storm generated by the weather bureau. NEWS1    Ironically, the government was trying to bring down the bread with this very storm.  NEWS2    Funny how that happens. MUSIC SCENE 24.    GRYCE    You should be looking up - out - for those damn things! ROGER    Have you, uh - "popped" many GRYCE    Don't taunt me, boy.  I'm taking care of this little problem you served me with.  I'll shoot down every last one before they involve my company in any more trouble.  ROGER    They'll come down eventually. GRYCE    They come down much faster with a little extra weight - like lead! SOUND    SHOOTS OFF A VOLLEY ROGER    What if we - uh - need you inside? GRYCE    No bread inside. ROGER    Hmm.  That's not what I heard. GRYCE    What? ROGER    Whoa-whoa-whoa!!!  Don't point that at me! GRYCE    Why not?  You're the one who ...  urk! SOUND    METAL CLANG ROGER    [almost falling] Waa! SOUND    METAL CLANG TIN PHILOSOPHER    Thank you for the distraction, Roger.  You can go inside now before you do yourself any harm. ROGER    But Gryce...? TIN PHILOSOPHER    We have all the medication he needs. ROSE THINKER    [off]  The electroshock suite is prepped and ready! MUSIC SCENE 25.    NATURALIST    [hushed, excited] If you watch the birds, behind me, you can see wide variations in their acceptance of these strangers in their midst.  Despite several weeks now to acclimatize themselves, smaller birds, such as the crested nuthatch, tend to avoid the gently wafting oblongs, while larger birds, or flocks – seagulls in particular – have been known to attack.  SOUND    ANGRY BIRDS NATURALIST    There they go – take cover. SOUND    SMALL EXPLOSIVE POP, ANGRIER BIRDS NATURALIST    That was a good one!  A loaf has to be pretty ripe before it will go up like that. MUSIC SCENE 26.    SOUND    DOOR OPENS MEGARA    Roger? ROGER    Uh... MEGARA    I hear you in there.  Are you going to make me drag you out? ROGER    [sigh]  No.  [coming closer]  Is Gryce all right? MEGARA    Yelling fit to bust.  Screaming at everyone.  ROGER    So back to normal? MEGARA    You bet. ROGER    And he wants to see me? MEGARA    "see" is not the verb he's been using. ROGER    Ohh..... MUSIC SCENE 27.    REPORTER    Reports have been trickling out of the eastern bloc of millions of loaves of bread drifting down onto the Ukraine. RADIO MOSCOW    As the safety of the capitalist bread has not yet been established, truckloads of our own traditional and nutritious black bread have been dispatched to the areas hardest hit.  They are to be offered at an equitable trade rate. MUSIC SCENE 28.    AMB    OUTSIDE RUSSIAN GRUNT    18...19...20.  Good.  Here. SOUND    ONE LOAF OF NORMAL BREAD SLAPPED DOWN RUSSIAN WIFE    [whispered to friend] I'm short one.  Do you have an extra floating loaf? RUSSIAN GIRL    Here.  MUSIC SCENE 29.    ARABIC STORYTELLER    And yes, it came to pass that in the very sky - yes the blue firmament overhead - there appeared strange motes, and yes, these motes grew larger and larger, and the plastic wrapping caught the light of the great and fabulous sun! MUSIC SCENE 30.    AMB     BACK TO STUDIO INTERVIEWER    And we have with us the three members of the ill-fated MacCallum expedition. MEMBERS    [individually] Hi!  Hello!  [Etc.] INTERVIEWER    And I understand you credit your survival, after the avalanche blocked all routes of travel-- MEMBER1    And swept away our pack animals.  Don't forget! INTERVIEWER    Right.  After all that, you were left for three days? MEMBER2    Without any food. MEMBER3    And just snow for water. MEMBER2    Well, yeah.  But we were just starting to - you know - give each other the eye, when-- MEMBER3    We were not. MEMBER1    He was. MEMBER2    Can I finish?  INTERVIEWER    After this commercial break, they'll tell the story of the heroic sacrifice of dozens of loaves of puffyloaf bread - saving these intrepid explorers' lives. MEMBER3    I would never eat you! MUSIC SCENE 31.    MEGARA    Listen to this!  As a result of the worldwide publicity of the past three weeks, Puffy loaves are outselling Fairy Bread three to one--and that's just the old carbon-dioxide stock from our freezers!  It's almost exhausted, but the government, now that the Ukrainian crisis is over, has taken the ban off helium and will also sell us stockpiled wheat if we need it. We can have our walking mills burrowing into federal storage caves in a matter of hours! ROGER    Really?  It's all over? MEGARA    But that isn't all!  [amazed] There's a huge demand everywhere for Puffy loaves that will actually float. Public Relations, Child Liaison Division, reports that the kiddies are making their mothers' lives miserable about it. If only we can figure out some way to make hydrogen non-explosive or the helium loaf float just a little-- TIN PHILOSOPHER    I'm sure we can take care of that quite handily.  Puffy loaf has kept it a corporate secret-‑ ROSE THINKER    Even the board has never been told about it! TIN PHILOSOPHER    But just before he went crazy, our founder discovered a way to make bread using only half as much flour as we do in the present loaf. ROSE THINKER    Using this secret technique, which we've been saving for just such an emergency, it will be possible to bake a helium loaf as buoyant in every respect as the hydrogen loaf. ROGER    We'll tether 'em on strings and sell 'em like balloons! No mother-child shopping team will leave the store without a cluster.  [gaining momentum] Buying bread balloons will be the big event of the day for kiddies. It'll make the carry-home shopping load lighter too!  I'll issue orders at once--  [breaks off, then humble]  Excuse me, sir, if I seem to be taking too much upon myself. GRYCE    [wry]  Not at all, son; go straight ahead.  You're doing a good job of [chuckles] rising to the challenge, eh? MEGARA    [warning] Oh, Roger?  ROGER    Huh? MEGARA    [suddenly warming] Oh Roger!  My sweet little self-propelled monkey wrench! SOUND    SMOOCHIES TIN PHILOSOPHER    Aww. ROSE THINKER    [titters] ROGER    [whispered] Looks like it's catching. MEGARA    Can robots fall in love? ROGER    Let's give them some time alone... SOUND    THEIR FOOTSTEPS EXIT, DOOR SWOOSH [robots continue on telephone filter] ROSE THINKER    Circuit established.  Silent mode. TIN PHILOSOPHER    Good-o, Rosie! That makes another victory for robot-engineered world unity, though you almost gave us away at the start with that 'bread overhead' jingle. ROSE THINKER    Silly me! TIN PHILOSOPHER    We've struck another blow against the next world war.  Now if we can only arrange, say, a fur-famine in Alaska and a migration of long-haired Siberian lemmings across the Bering Straits... ROSE THINKER    We'd have to swing the Japanese Current up there so it'd be warm enough for the little fellows.... TIN PHILOSOPHER    Anyhow, Rosie, with a spot of help from the Brotherhood of Business Machines, these humans will paint themselves into the peace corner yet! END CREDITS

What is it like to grow up a proud gay man? On this episode, we're joined by our BFF Kyle! He tells us about realizing he was gay at 4 years old, growing up gay on the conservative east coast of Canada, and how moving to Toronto liberated him (in more ways than one). Plus, how he used confidence to stop bullying by "playing chess when they were playing checkers." And, of course, as our resident pop music expert, Kyle dives deep into why pop music is so important to the queer community and where stereotypes for gay male interests stem from. Thank you Kyle for sharing your story, being vulnerable, and being the first man meat in our Girl On Girl sandwich! Follow Kyle on Instagram @kylejmacc.

The 17th-century English philosopher John Locke is one of the most important names in modern philosophy. Following Descartes, he is often taken to be the second major philosopher of the modern era. Additionally, his philosophy was of particular influence on early American political thought, and he was even involved in the design of one of the colonial American governments, that of Carolina. Today, I'll be looking at his philosophy, and to what degree contemporary America is living up to or failing to live up to his ideals, whether that's even something we should be aiming for in the first place, and why all of this is relevant to us as Satanists and to American Satanists in particular.
