We also take time to honor a devastating loss to the video game industry. Vince Zampella — Battlefield franchise lead, Call of Duty co-creator, Respawn Entertainment founder, and one of the most influential figures in modern gaming — has tragically passed away. We reflect on his legendary career, from Medal of Honor and Call of Duty to Titanfall, Apex Legends, Star Wars Jedi, and the record-breaking launch of Battlefield 6, and discuss the massive legacy he leaves behind. On the news front, Naughty Dog finds itself back in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. A new report reveals mandatory overtime (crunch) imposed on staff to complete a demo for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, reigniting conversations around workplace culture, missed deadlines, and sustainability inside PlayStation Studios. We discuss what this means for Naughty Dog, Sony, and the broader industry as crunch continues to clash with modern development values. Plus, we dive into: • Our full PlayStation Wrapped 2025 breakdown • Naughty Dog landing firmly on the “not nice” list this year • A look back at the highs, lows, and turning points of 2025 • Community reactions, reflections, and end-of-year takes This is a packed, emotional, and thoughtful send-off to 2025 — celebrating what went right, questioning what went wrong, and remembering one of gaming's true legends.
Host Mo Barrett reflects on a landmark year for the National Medal of Honor Museum before closing out 2025 with the story of Medal of Honor Recipient Tibor Rubin. Held as a POW during the Korean War, Rubin sent a Christmas Card – now in the Museum's collection – to his brother. His holiday message captures the spirit of both the holiday season and the Medal of Honor. The National Medal of Honor Museum offers an unforgettable journey through the stories of ordinary people who did something extraordinary in service to others. A visit to the Museum is a meaningful experience that will leave visitors of all ages inspired, proud, and deeply connected to the values that unite us.

We're sharing episodes this month from another Pushkin podcast we think you'll enjoy. In Deep Cover: The Truth About Sarah, Jake Halpern and acclaimed investigative journalist Jess McHugh unravel an epic six-year deception that upended lives of countless people. Sarah Cavanaugh was many things: A decorated veteran. A Marine who saved her comrades. A young woman fighting cancer. She was stoic, humble, tough. In short: a hero. Sarah was everything people wanted her to be—until she wasn’t. Turns out, no one knew the real Sarah. Not her comrades. Not her wife. No one. Jake and Jess interview all of the key sources—including Sarah, herself—to tell this sprawling tale.Episode 3: (10:18) Jess and Jake speak with Sarah and learn about her past life. As a social worker, she really knew how to listen to people. But when Jake and Jess interview two of Sarah's former friends, a darker picture emerges.We’re committed to making Medal of Honor even better, and you can help!

What if loving your spouse first is the most loving thing you can do for your kids and your country? We open with a hard look at modern parenting and explain why a spouse-first home gives children security, clarity, and a living picture of covenant love they can carry into their own marriages. It's a call to realignment: step back from living through your kids, rebuild the partnership that holds the family together, and let your priorities teach what your words cannot.We lean into Scripture for a sturdy framework. Titus 2 sketches a mentoring culture where older believers model self-control, integrity, and love, training the next generation to build wise, peaceful homes. From the Sermon on the Mount, we sit with the Beatitudes, anger and reconciliation, and the charge to be salt and light—practical guidance for turning conflict into peace and shining in quiet, consistent ways that honor God. The thread is everyday faith lived credibly, so that even critics find little to fault.History adds weight and texture. We highlight FDR's 1934 Christmas message on courage and unity, then connect President Truman's claim that the world's problems yield to biblical principles with Coolidge's warning that our institutions rest on Scripture. The lesson is plain: private virtue sustains public order. A vivid Medal of Honor account of Corporal Orlando F. Boss underscores courage as love in action. We also own a sourcing mix-up and talk about verifying with primary documents—because truthfulness in small details builds trust in bigger ones.If this resonated, share it with a friend who values faith, family, and country.

A single barroom question—will the terror ever stop—can change how you see duty, faith, and the meaning of peace. We open with prayer and a grateful nod to everyone holding families, churches, and towns together, then step into a hard conversation about violence, vigilance, and what actually protects ordinary people. The tension is real, so we turn to Scripture for a truer compass: Proverbs on faithful marriage, Matthew 4 on repentance and calling, and Psalm 4 on quieting anger and trusting God for peace that outlasts harvests and headlines.History gives the ideas flesh. We read the Medal of Honor citation for Staff Sergeant William J. Bordelon at Tarawa, where courage looked like wet sand, pillboxes, and a choice to go again under fire. That story reframes our comfort and reminds us that security has names and graves. We pair it with FDR's 1936 Christmas messages, weaving Dickens' transformation with the Sermon on the Mount. The claim lands with weight: policies matter, but a nation cannot claim to seek peace while ignoring Christ's commands. Repentance, mercy, and fidelity are not soft words; they are the spine that holds a people upright when fear and rage press in.Across the hour, we ask you to test convictions against Scripture, to thank those who serve, and to build homes that hold firm in rough weather. We offer a family-friendly book recommendation for readers who love Narnia and Percy Jackson, and we invite you to support the show if it's been useful to you. Most of all, we point to the light that still breaks into dark places. Share the gospel. Care for the cold, hungry, and afraid. Pray the Lord's Prayer like it is daily bread, and live as if peace on earth begins at your table.If this conversation challenged you or gave you hope, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a rating or review so more people can find it.

Doubt doesn't always start with disbelief; it often starts with uneven standards. We put ancient sources on pedestals while demanding perfection from the Gospels. So we ask a sharper question: if historians trust accounts of Alexander the Great written centuries after his death, what should we do with Christian claims circulating within years of the resurrection? Walking through insights popularized by Lee Strobel and scholarship that outlines early creeds, eyewitness proximity, and manuscript depth, we press for intellectual fairness—and courage to follow the evidence where it leads.From there, we bring faith home. Colossians 3 reframes marriage not as power but as mutual sacrifice: wives honoring God's order, husbands rejecting bitterness through self-giving love. Then we step into the Jordan and the wilderness. John the Baptist calls for fruit worthy of repentance, and Jesus answers temptation with Scripture, refusing shortcuts to comfort, spectacle, or power. Those scenes become a map for modern pressure: hold to truth, obey when unseen, and let God define the path.We round out the journey with battle-tested courage and seasonal hope. The story of Medal of Honor recipient Joel Thompson Boone shows love with skin in the game—running into fire to save the wounded. Psalm 3 and Proverbs 1 ground our courage and prudence, while FDR's 1935 Christmas words cast a wider light: the message of peace and goodwill crosses borders, eras, and fears. Taken together, these threads form a steadying line—from historical reliability to daily obedience, from battlefield sacrifice to a manger's promise.

We welcome members of the VFW Washington Office for a roundtable on advocacy, benefits delivery, and showing up for veterans where it matters most. Leaders from National Legislative Service and National Veteran Service discuss how frontline experience shapes VFW's work on Capitol Hill. The episode opens with updates from recent VFW congressional engagement, including a House roundtable on veterans' data protection and claims fraud tied to predatory practices and AI-generated nexus letters. The panel also reviews Nancy Springer's recent testimony on more than two dozen veterans-related bills focused on benefits reform, appeals modernization, and expanded access to care. The conversation turns to the VFW's Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program, highlighting how accredited service officers help transitioning service members avoid mistakes, overpayments, and fraud. Real-world examples show how early engagement protects long-term benefits, health care access, and financial stability. The episode also looks beyond policy to leadership and service, featuring reflections from a Medal of Honor reception ahead of the Army–Navy Game. Highlights from VFW's Army–Navy tailgates underscore how visibility and camaraderie help connect the next generation of veterans to the organization.

Headlines can numb the soul, but they can also wake it. We open with prayer and move straight into the hard reality of targeted violence and public fear, then trace a path that blends courage with compassion. Our focus is local and concrete: how to strengthen law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, and communication networks so communities are ready before a crisis, not after. The goal isn't alarm—it's stewardship. When neighbors talk, train, and plan, the ground under our feet steadies.From there, we ground public life in private covenant. We read the marriage passages from Corinthians and Genesis, exploring how a husband and wife, joined as one, form a stable center for children and community. That foundation links to a journey of prudence: Joseph, Mary, and the child Jesus flee danger, wait for God's timing, and return only when it's safe. Obedience here looks like preparation, patience, and movement guided by wisdom. It's a blueprint for modern families facing uncertainty without surrendering to fear.Scripture keeps widening the frame. Psalm 2 reminds us that rulers rage, but God reigns; Proverbs calls us to humility and discipline. We pause to honor a Medal of Honor recipient whose brief citation hints at decisive bravery, then hear FDR's Christmas reading on radical grace—an invitation that stretches even to the hardest hearts. We hold both truths together: salvation is offered to all, and love protects the vulnerable. That's why moral clarity and community readiness belong side by side.If this conversation stirred you, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review so others can find the show.

A simple memory at a memorial changed the tone of the day: a third-grade classroom with the Golden Rule on the wall, memorized by kids who carried it into adulthood. That image opened a bigger conversation about what we teach our children, how we understand liberty, and why our public institutions should reflect the moral roots that shaped this country.We walk through the case for centering tax-funded education on the principles that animated the American project—love of neighbor, the dignity of conscience, and the Scriptural wisdom that formed our earliest laws and customs. Along the way, we confront the modern “separation of church and state” narrative that grew after 1947 and contrast it with Jefferson's original concern about a national church. The goal isn't coercion at home; it's clarity in the public square. We also move from civics to the heart, reading 1 Corinthians 7 as a mirror for marriages that need mutual care, prayer, and unity, and noting how strong homes train the same virtues a free people require.Scripture readings from Matthew, Psalms, and Proverbs bring the story into focus: Joseph's obedience, the Magi's courage, and the promise that delight in God's law turns lives into rooted trees. We honor Private Robert D. Booker's Medal of Honor sacrifice as the hard-earned fruit of formation, not accident, and we revisit Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 Christmas messages, where “love thy neighbor” rises as a national ethic in anxious times. If history is bending toward a rougher season, we can still prepare: strengthen local institutions, equip those who serve, speak up at school boards, and teach the Golden Rule with conviction.If this conversation resonates, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

McMaster as they discuss Israel's security posture after the October 7 attacks, strategic lessons of the war in Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank and beyond, and the implications of the Trump-brokered peace agreement for Israel, the broader Middle East, and global security. Drawing on decades of experience within Israel's security and intelligence community, Palti assesses the prospects for regional stability, the future of Hamas in Gaza, emerging opportunities and risks in Lebanon and Syria, and the critical role of U.S.–Israel cooperation in countering Iranian aggression. Palti reflects on the necessity of sustained American engagement in the Middle East and the shared responsibility of democratic nations to confront terrorist and proxy threats while upholding the democratic principles they seek to protect.

Strong marriages don't happen by accident—they're built hour by hour with the choices we make when no one is watching. We open with gratitude and prayer, then press into a simple, challenging idea: if you can find time for screens, sports, or scrolling, you can find time to invest in your spouse. Drawing from Kobe Bryant's “simple math,” we talk about compounding effort in relationships and how a steady, willing spirit creates a home that can weather stress and change.We ground that vision in Scripture. 1 Peter 3 calls us to the hidden work of the heart—gentleness, understanding, and honor—over vanity and pride. Revelation 22 widens our horizon with a river of life and the promise of Christ's return, giving couples a durable hope that reframes daily friction. Psalm 150 and Proverbs 31 add a rhythm of praise and diligence, showing how worship and wise effort shape a household that blesses everyone inside it.To anchor these ideas in real courage, we share the Medal of Honor story of Robert M. Booty and reflect on President Truman's Christmas message about peace, patience, and the spirit of the Prince of Peace. The through line is clear: faith forms character, character shapes marriage, and marriage strengthens families and nations. If you're ready to reallocate your hours and rebuild what matters most, this conversation will give you clarity, conviction, and a path forward.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others find us.

A quiet milestone hits hard: for the first time in 84 years, no Pearl Harbor survivor could attend the ceremony. That absence becomes a mirror, and we ask the hard question—what will history say about our generation when our voices fade? We weave that reflection through Scripture, prayer, and lived examples to trace a path of courage rooted not in noise but in fidelity.We start with the heart of the home—marriage—drawing from Hebrews 13:4 to make a clear, hopeful case for honoring vows and resisting the pull to normalize what wounds trust. Mercy is real, and so is accountability. From there, Revelation 20 reframes our moment: evil deceives, but only for a time; books are opened; names matter; and resurrection hope changes how we carry responsibility. Psalm 148 widens the frame to a universe of praise, reminding us that obedience is harmony with a creation that already sings. Proverbs 31:8–9 then turns praise into practice, calling us to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and to seek justice for the crushed.We ground these themes in story. A brief Medal of Honor spotlight on Robert Earl Bonney pulls courage out of the boiler room and into the light, showing that heroism often hides behind steel and steam. And we revisit President Harry Truman's 1950 Christmas messages—words forged in wartime—that tie peace on earth to moral clarity and public duty. Throughout, we bless the workers who keep communities alive—farmers, ranchers, linemen, doctors, builders—because service is how love becomes law in daily life.If you're ready for a clear-eyed, hopeful call to remember well, love well, and stand firm with grace, press play and join us.

Start with honesty: none of us has a spotless record, and pretending we do only delays the obedience God asks of us today. We dig into the parable of the two sons to show why repentance is measured by action, not memory, and we highlight Rahab's story as a powerful reminder that God writes redemption into the lives of imperfect people who choose faithfulness now.From there, we turn to Titus 2 and get practical about the virtues that steady a home and strengthen a community. Temperance, dignity, sensible speech, and the work of teaching what is good give our faith credibility. Revelation 19 then lifts our eyes, reminding us that the wedding feast of the Lamb and the triumph of the Rider called Faithful and True are not abstract theology but the anchor for perseverance and hope when the world feels hostile and disordered.We round out the conversation with Psalm 147's comfort for the brokenhearted, Proverbs 31's sober counsel to leaders, and a Medal of Honor spotlight on Sylvester Bonnafon Jr. History speaks, too: we read FDR's Pearl Harbor address and Harry Truman's 1949 Christmas message, drawing lessons about courage, clarity, peace, and service. Through Scripture and history, we argue for a life that names evil, loves neighbors, and trusts God for victory.

This episode is a special one for me. I had the honor of serving as guest of honor at a Marine Corps Ball celebrating the 250th birthday of the Corps — a moment I wanted to remember forever. I share a powerful WWII story of courage on Guadalcanal, and what it means to be a Marine — not by rank, but by spirit. I hope listeners feel inspired by the legacy we continue.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock discusses how Laura Rutledge and Shedeur Sanders have earned medals in the Victimhood Olympics — Rutledge by enduring an awkward interaction with Justin Herbert and Sanders because he's been set up for failure, according to Shannon Sharpe. Whitlock contends that Notre Dame, which will not be in the College Football Playoff, is the only victim this week. Jay Skapinac joins the show to react to Rich Paul saying the Lakers aren't contenders and that LeBron James has nowhere to go, though he would make the Knicks better. During As the WNBA Turns, Whitlock remarks on A'ja Wilson being named Time's Athlete of the Year and lists five other athletes who are more worthy of the honor. Guest Steve Kim closes out the show with insight on 44-year-old Philip Rivers signing with the Colts' practice team; Quentin Jammer acknowledging that he played drunk eight times; and rumors that NFL teams are interested in Marcus Freeman.

World models are rapidly becoming AI's next frontier, and in this episode we break down why. Host, Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, sits down with Pim de Witte, founder of General Intuition and Medal, to explore how billions of gameplay videos can power a new class of embodied agents. Pim explains the fundamental gap between language models, which describe the world, and world models, which simulate the world, capturing how objects and agents move, react, and evolve in space and time. The conversation digs into why video games are an ideal training ground, including but not limited to consistent first-person perspectives, action labels (if you design your data set that way), and optical fidelity that platforms like YouTube can't provide.Pim walks through General Intuition's technical approach, why cross-game training unlocks more human-like behavior, and the specific limitations still unsolved, such as multiplayer consistency, long-horizon coherence, and the cost of large-scale inference. They explore what studios can expect from embodied agents: bots trained on human behavior that they hope to be tunable by designers and ideal for developers who want to embrace and build around this tech to either develop new game genres or make it a bedrock of their production process. If you are interested in learning about a company with a unique approach to world models and embodied agents, this is a must-listen to close out 2025.

We’re gearing up for an all new season of Medal of Honor in 2026, but in the meantime we're sharing episodes from another Pushkin Industries podcast we think you'll like. It’s called Deep Cover and it’s all about people who lead double lives and the lengths they’ll go to deceive others. This last season, they covered the stolen valor story of Sarah Cavanaugh. Sarah Cavanaugh is a civilian woman who claimed to be a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, and a young woman fighting cancer. She was everything people wanted her to be—until she wasn’t. Turns out, no one knew the real Sarah. Lies tend to be fragile, wilting under their own weight as they get bigger. Not in the case of Sarah Cavanaugh. The bigger her lies grew, the more real they became. But she never served in the military, never received any awards, and defrauded veteran organizations out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Jake Halpern and investigative journalist Jess McHugh unravel this epic six-year deception that upended the lives of countless people. Here's episode 1 of Deep Cover: The Truth About Sarah (00:16). Stay tuned to hear the full six-episode series on this feed throughout the next few weeks. We’re committed to making Medal of Honor even better, and you can help!

Headlines move fast, but the root struggle rarely changes: what ideas shape our lives, our families, and our country. We follow a clear thread—from Minnesota's funding controversy to Churchill's warnings about Nazism to FDR's 1933 Christmas Eve fireside chat—to ask a hard question: do we evaluate people by ethnicity and origin, or by the ideology they carry and promote? That choice frames everything else, from policy to culture to how we raise our kids.We read from 1 Corinthians on marital fidelity and self-giving, then turn to Revelation's vision of justice and Psalm 143's cry from the depths. These passages aren't abstract; they show how private virtue sustains public courage. Proverbs adds a civic edge with small, wise creatures that model foresight, order, and presence—a reminder that strength without wisdom collapses. Along the way, we honor William S. Bond's Medal of Honor service, because history's courage steadies today's resolve.FDR's Christmas message anchors the conversation in hope and Scripture. He quotes the promise that nations should not learn war forever, a line many now miss because biblical literacy has faded. Benjamin Franklin's accounts of Scripture-saturated speech in early America reveal how a common text once set boundaries for power and protected freedom. When people know the words, leaders can't easily bend them. When that knowledge fades, new creeds slip in under familiar language.Our through-line is simple and urgent: ideology decides direction. If we abandon the principles of Christ—justice, mercy, humility, courage—we leave a vacuum that corrosive systems rush to fill. Rebuild literacy. Teach truth to children. Evaluate policies by dignity, not marketing. Support communities that pray, debate, and act with moral clarity.

From building Medal into a 12M-user game clipping platform with 3.8B highlight moments to turning down a reported $500M offer from OpenAI (https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-offered-pay-500-million-startup-videogame-data) and raising a $134M seed from Khosla (https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/16/general-intuition-lands-134m-seed-to-teach-agents-spatial-reasoning-using-video-game-clips/) to spin out General Intuition, Pim is betting that world models trained on peak human gameplay are the next frontier after LLMs. We sat down with Pim to dig into why game highlights are “episodic memory for simulation” (and how Medal's privacy-first action labels became a world-model goldmine https://medal.tv/blog/posts/enabling-state-of-the-art-security-and-protections-on-medals-new-apm-and-controller-overlay-features), what it takes to build fully vision-based agents that just see frames and output actions in real time, how General Intuition transfers from games to real-world video and then into robotics, why world models and LLMs are complementary rather than rivals, what founders with proprietary datasets should know before selling or licensing to labs, and his bet that spatial-temporal foundation models will power 80% of future atoms-to-atoms interactions in both simulation and the real world. We discuss: How Medal's 3.8B action-labeled highlight clips became a privacy-preserving goldmine for world models Building fully vision-based agents that only see frames and output actions yet play like (and sometimes better than) humans Transferring from arcade-style games to realistic games to real-world video using the same perception–action recipe Why world models need actions, memory, and partial observability (smoke, occlusion, camera shake) vs. “just” pretty video generation Distilling giant policies into tiny real-time models that still navigate, hide, and peek corners like real players Pim's path from RuneScape private servers, Tourette's, and reverse engineering to leading a frontier world-model lab How data-rich founders should think about valuing their datasets, negotiating with big labs, and deciding when to go independent GI's first customers: replacing brittle behavior trees in games, engines, and controller-based robots with a “frames in, actions out” API Using Medal clips as “episodic memory of simulation” to move from imitation learning to RL via world models and negative events The 2030 vision: spatial–temporal foundation models that power the majority of atoms-to-atoms interactions in simulation and the real world — Pim X: https://x.com/PimDeWitte LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pimdw/ Where to find Latent Space X: https://x.com/latentspacepod Substack: https://www.latent.space/ Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction and Medal's Gaming Data Advantage 00:02:08 Exclusive Demo: Vision-Based Gaming Agents 00:06:17 Action Prediction and Real-World Video Transfer 00:08:41 World Models: Interactive Video Generation 00:13:42 From Runescape to AI: Pim's Founder Journey 00:16:45 The Research Foundations: Diamond, Genie, and SEMA 00:33:03 Vinod Khosla's Largest Seed Bet Since OpenAI 00:35:04 Data Moats and Why GI Stayed Independent 00:38:42 Self-Teaching AI Fundamentals: The Francois Fleuret Course 00:40:28 Defining World Models vs Video Generation 00:41:52 Why Simulation Complexity Favors World Models 00:43:30 World Labs, Yann LeCun, and the Spatial Intelligence Race 00:50:08 Business Model: APIs, Agents, and Game Developer Partnerships 00:58:57 From Imitation Learning to RL: Making Clips Playable 01:00:15 Open Research, Academic Partnerships, and Hiring 01:02:09 2030 Vision: 80 Percent of Atoms-to-Atoms AI Interactions
Pipe Bomber Arrest (Main News Story) After nearly five years, the FBI arrested Brian J. Cole Jr., accused of planting pipe bombs near the DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021. The discussion criticizes the Biden administration for delaying the investigation despite having evidence early on. Quotes from Pam Bondi and Dan Bongino emphasize that the arrest was achieved through renewed focus under the Trump administration, not new tips. Raises questions about accountability for prior DOJ and FBI leadership. Three Major White House Events Monday: Signing of the Medals Act, authored by Cruz, which triples the monthly stipend for Medal of Honor recipients from $1,400 to $5,600. Tuesday: Launch of Trump Accounts, a financial initiative aimed at creating investment accounts for every child in America, seeded with $1,000 and allowing contributions up to $5,000 annually. Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 billion to support this program. Wednesday: Announcement of rolling back CAFE standards and EV mandates to reduce car prices and improve safety. The policy aims to lower costs, increase consumer choice, and restore steel in car manufacturing for safety. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
