Behnam Ben Taleblu joins Bridget to offer his expertise on Iran. They discuss who's actually in charge in Iran right now, what Americans need to understand about the Islamic Republic's ideology, why the plight of Iranian women gets ignored by Western feminists, and why this conflict is fundamentally different from Iraq 2003. They cover how the regime destroyed Iran's environment to fund the Revolutionary Guard, how they worked with Mexican drug cartels and Canadian biker gangs to target dissidents on US soil, how AI-generated propaganda muddies the water in favor of the regime, why Hollywood actors completely miss what's happening by lumping Iran with Palestine and Iraq, the regime's scorched earth strategy of burning countries to rubble to survive, Iranian sleeper cells already on US soil, the strategic importance of not giving this regime a premature off-ramp, and why Americans Googling “how far is Iran from the United States” shows how much work remains in explaining the stakes of this conflict.

Todd and Julie are back from the Cayman Islands a little more tan, a little more rested, and with plenty to talk about.The episode starts with a few laughs about their trip, Julie preparing to leave for a new project, and the chaos of getting everything organized before being apart for the first time in months. But things take a sharp turn when Todd shares a story that landed in his phone this week involving someone from his time in the Bureau of Prisons.According to Todd, a former Pensacola BOP staff member named Shirley Bui was arrested after an incident at a Mexican restaurant that quickly turned into the kind of story you truly can't make up. Todd breaks down how the video found its way to him, why the situation shocked him, and why he felt the need to address it publicly. As only Todd can, the story comes with a few very unfiltered opinions and a nickname he says Shirley may now have to live with.From there the conversation moves into a mix of pop culture and real life. Todd and Julie talk about Britney Spears and the pressures of fame, the emotional reality of missing persons cases, and a funny moment involving Todd's mom accidentally blocking them on her phone.They also take time to address some feedback about Savannah's appearance on The View, discussing the challenges of political conversations in today's climate and why they believe respectful disagreement is still possible.Thank you to our sponsors for supporting the show!- Booking.com: This episode of Chrisley Confessions 2.0 is brought to you by Booking.com!

Interview with Stephen Twyerould, President & CEO of Gunnison CopperOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gunnison-copper-tsxmin-nears-copper-production-start-in-september-2025-7847Recording date: 13th March 2026Gunnison Copper has released an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for its flagship Arizona copper project, demonstrating $2 billion in after-tax net present value and positioning the asset as a prime acquisition target in North America's critical minerals sector. The study shows a 22.7% internal rate of return with $1.5 billion in capital requirements, representing a $700 million improvement in NPV over the company's previous assessment completed just 12 months earlier.The project is designed to produce 80,000 metric tons of copper cathode annually over a 21-year mine life, generating $6-7 billion in cumulative free cash flow. The substantial NPV improvement stems primarily from operational and technical enhancements rather than commodity price assumptions, including the strategic integration of the high-grade Strong & Harris satellite deposit and incorporation of innovative mineral sorting technology.Strong & Harris, located 3 kilometers from the main Gunnison pit, grades 0.8% copper—nearly three times typical Arizona operating grades—and added $190 million to NPV by leveraging shared infrastructure rather than operating as a standalone development. The company has also incorporated an on-site acid plant to eliminate dependency on volatile Mexican imports, contributing an additional $200-250 million to project value while providing competitive advantage.CEO Stephen Twyerould was direct about the company's strategic path forward, stating the firm is "unlikely to build this thing" independently. Instead, management is focused on delivering a fully-permitted Preliminary Feasibility Study with reserves within 18-24 months to maximize shareholder value through a potential transaction. The company benefits from a streamlined state-level permitting process without federal nexus, leveraging existing permits that require only amendment.Currently trading at a $220 million market capitalization—approximately one-third the valuation multiples of comparable Arizona copper developers—Gunnison represents what Twyerould describes as exceptionally rare: a mid-tier scale project approaching fully-permitted status in a tier-one jurisdiction with proven management execution capability.View Gunnison Copper's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gunnison-copperSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

What does it look like when a community invests in its own future? In this special Podcasthon episode, Vanessa sits down with Dr. Angela Vargas - licensed psychologist and inaugural Futuro Fund board member - to share the story behind the Latino Mental Health Association of New Jersey's scholarship program that is changing the trajectory for the next generation of Latinx mental health professionals.From a small group of psychologists meeting in a basement 27 years ago to a two-day annual conference, a growing gala, and now a formalized scholarship fund — LMHANJ has become a cornerstone of Latino mental health representation in New Jersey. Through the Futuro Fund, they've awarded $4,000 and now $5,000 scholarships to graduate students committed to giving back to their communities. You'll also hear directly from scholarship recipient Yareimy Patrocinio, a first-generation MSW student and daughter of Mexican immigrants, on what this scholarship means for her path forward.In this episode:The 27-year evolution of LMHANJ — from psychologists-only to a multi-disciplinary, rebranded associationHow the Futuro Fund was born out of the inaugural gala — and why it's growingWhy mentorship and emotional support matter just as much as financial aidHow students can connect to LMHANJ and build a professional network before they even graduateWhat it means to be a first-gen professional investing in the next generation

Send a textSomebody calls you “Hispanic” and you hear something else entirely. We sit down with Rosalinda for a special edition that starts with a real identity check: why she answers “Mexican” every time, how she thinks about Latino and Latina as umbrella terms in the United States, and why getting specific can be a form of respect. If you've ever googled “Hispanic vs Latino vs Mexican” or struggled with what word fits, this conversation puts the human side back into the definition. Then we pivot hard into an Oscars 2026 hangout, pulled straight from our natural chaos: Michael B. Jordan takes Best Actor for Sinners, we shout out Ryan Coogler, and we keep coming back to One Battle After Another as a movie worth watching for the performances alone. We also drop context around Fruitvale Station and why it still hits, plus quick reactions to nominees, categories, and the weird reality that half the award-season films are “wait, what is that?” until the winners list pops up. The surprise turn is AI. We talk about those deepfake-style tribute videos that bring Kobe, Tupac, and Michael Jackson back on screen and why it can feel spooky instead of sweet. Where's the line between honoring someone and using them? If you like cultural identity talk, movie recommendations, Oscars reactions, and honest questions about AI, hit play.

This award-winning bilingual collection intertwines the lives of a Renaissance painter and a modern migrant worker, offering a fresh perspective on art and migration. In this highly imaginative work, the lives of the northern Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516) and an imagined contemporary migrant worker named Juan Coyoc, later known as Juan Domínguez, run in parallel as they mirror each other across languages, time, and continents. By comparing and at times intertwining these two poetic narratives, the book explores themes of art, migration, narco-violence, family, spirituality, and the idea that every human being represents all humanity at any moment in history. Both Hieronymus Bosch and Juan Domínguez become relatable and intimate figures, part of our own story. Written in simple, sharp language, the book employs surprising imagery and a novel structure to blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, while examining the intricacies of the human condition--from the life of Saint Anthony to the violent acts of narcos across Central America and the U.S.-Mexico border. With formal sophistication and philosophical depth, this work enriches the tradition of poetry about both migration and art, contributing to the literary heritage of Mexico and the United States over the past several decades. Manuel Iris is a Mexican-born American poet who has served as poet laureate of Cincinnati, Ohio. Iris is the author of five poetry collections, including The Disguises of Fire [Los disfraces del fuego]. Kevin C. McHugh is book editor and former writer and editor for international branding studios. He taught writing for thirty-one years. Caleb Zakarin is CEO and Publisher of the New Books Network.

Episode 320 is the fourth  in a mini-series covering Sylvia Duran in Mexico. And what a tale it is. You heard much about Sylvia Duran already in the early Mexico City episodes. We pick the story back up  just as the JFK assassination takes place on November 22nd, 1963 and events almost simultaneously begin to unfold and  overtake her. The  harrowing story of Sylvia Duran, a 26-year-old Mexican consular secretary at the Cuban Consulate in Mexico City is one of the most confounding in  the  JFK's assassination story.  Amidst the chaos following President Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963, Duran's  name surfaces in Lee Harvey Oswald's address book, linking her to his September visit where he sought a visa to Cuba. Duran, a socialist sympathizer but not a communist, was under intense CIA surveillance through wiretaps and cameras, and was viewed as a potential future asset due to her past affair with a Cuban diplomat.The CIA's Mexico City station chief, Winston Scott, bypasses protocol and uses his covert LITEMPO network—high-level Mexican officials on CIA payroll—to order Duran's arrest via the brutal DFS secret police. On November 23, agents raid a family gathering, detaining Duran and her relatives in a terrifying show of force. This rogue action alarms CIA headquarters, who fear it could expose illegal operations or disrupt U.S. strategies regarding Cuban involvement in the assassination, potentially sparking nuclear tensions.Under interrogation by DFS deputy director Fernando Gutiérrez Barrios, Duran endures physical torture, including arm-squeezing and beatings, while her family suffers nearby. Coerced into false admissions of a sexual affair with Oswald, she later recants, revealing the ordeal's brutality. The episode uncovers how U.S. intelligence manipulated Mexican authorities to control the narrative, setting the stage for further revelations in upcoming installments.

Episode 321 is the fifth and final episode   in a mini-series covering Sylvia Duran in Mexico. And what a tale it is. Today's episode covers the infamous twist party. You heard much about Sylvia Duran already in the early Mexico City episodes.

Air Week: March 16-22, 2026 Imperial Records, Pt. 1 – 1947-50 Imperial Records was a major player among the indie labels of the late 1940s and the entirety of the 1950s. Started in Los Angels in 1946 by Lew Chudd, a Canadian raised in Harlem, Imperial began filling the ethnic and cultural voids left by the majors at the time. Chudd knew there was a large market for Latino Music in America, so he headed to Mexico City and recorded some Mexican jump bands that sold very well. He then included square dance records which also racked up sales as now square dances could be held without callers. He began recording Rhythm & Blues in 1947 and by ’49, he had hired Dave Bartholomew to scout talent in fertile New Orleans. The Braun Brother had beat him to The Crescent City by recording Paul Gayten and Annie Laurie first, but with Bartholomew’s help, Chudd was able to sign Fats Domino, Smiley Lewis, Archibald and Jewel King, dominating the New Orleans R&B scene. This week, we begin a series looking at the huge impact that Imperial Records had on R&B during the late 1940s into the mid-1950s. In part 1, Matt The Cat will showcase Imperial’s earliest R&B releases from 1947-1950. We’ll see how the boogie woogie stylings of Dick Lewis, “Poison” Gardner, Charlie “Boogie Woogie” Davis and Lloyd Glenn gave way to the New Orleans blues of Tommy Ridgley, Jewel King, Smiley Lewis and Fats Domino, who would become the biggest artist ever on the Imperial label. It’s Imperial Records, part 1 on this week’s “Juke In The Back.” LISTEN BELOW

From his humble beginnings as a humble avocado farmer and police officer in the Mexican state of Jalisco to his current status as Mexico's most wanted and arguably most powerful narco, El Mencho's rise is a masterclass in violence, strategy, and ambition. We trace his path through the Milenio Cartel, his alliance with the Sinaloa Cartel, and the brutal betrayal that led him to form the CJNG. Discover the ruthless tactics that propelled his organization to the top, including public displays of extreme violence, sophisticated military-grade weaponry, and a relentless campaign to eliminate rivals and authorities alike.

Episode 318 is the second  in a mini-series covering Sylvia Duran in Mexico. And what a tale it is. You heard much about Sylvia Duran already in the early Mexico City episodes. We pick the story back up  just as the JFK assassination takes place on November 22nd, 1963 and events almost simultaneously begin to unfold and  overtake her. The  harrowing story of Sylvia Duran, a 26-year-old Mexican consular secretary at the Cuban Consulate in Mexico City is one of the most confounding in  the  JFK's assassination story.  Amidst the chaos following President Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963, Duran's  name surfaces in Lee Harvey Oswald's address book, linking her to his September visit where he sought a visa to Cuba. Duran, a socialist sympathizer but not a communist, was under intense CIA surveillance through wiretaps and cameras, and was viewed as a potential future asset due to her past affair with a Cuban diplomat.The CIA's Mexico City station chief, Winston Scott, bypasses protocol and uses his covert LITEMPO network—high-level Mexican officials on CIA payroll—to order Duran's arrest via the brutal DFS secret police. On November 23, agents raid a family gathering, detaining Duran and her relatives in a terrifying show of force. This rogue action alarms CIA headquarters, who fear it could expose illegal operations or disrupt U.S. strategies regarding Cuban involvement in the assassination, potentially sparking nuclear tensions.Under interrogation by DFS deputy director Fernando Gutiérrez Barrios, Duran endures physical torture, including arm-squeezing and beatings, while her family suffers nearby. Coerced into false admissions of a sexual affair with Oswald, she later recants, revealing the ordeal's brutality. The episode uncovers how U.S. intelligence manipulated Mexican authorities to control the narrative, setting the stage for further revelations in upcoming installments.

Malicious streetlights are an evil trick from Dark Data Journalism. Some annoying enemy has a valid complaint. So you use FACTS and LOGIC to prove that something similar-sounding-but-slightly-different is definitely false. Then you act like you've debunked the complaint. My "favorite" example, spotted during the 2016 election, was a response to some #BuildTheWall types saying that illegal immigration through the southern border was near record highs. Some data journalist got good statistics and proved that the number of Mexicans illegally entering the country was actually quite low. When I looked into it further, I found that this was true - illegal immigration had shifted from Mexicans to Hondurans/Guatemalans/Salvadoreans etc entering through Mexico. If you counted those, illegal immigration through the southern border was near record highs. But the inverse evil trick is saying something "directionally correct", ie slightly stronger than the truth can support. If your enemy committed assault, say he committed murder. If he committed sexual harassment, say he committed rape. If your drug increases cancer survival by 5% in rats, say that it "cures cancer". Then, if someone calls you on it, accuse them of "literally well ackshually-ing" you, because you were "directionally correct" and it's offensive to the victims to try to defend assault-committed sexual harassers. This is the sort of pathetic defense I called out in If It's Worth Your Time To Lie, It's Worth My Time To Correct It. But trying to call out one of these failure modes looks like falling into the other. I ran into this on my series of posts on crime last week. I wrote these because I regularly saw people make the arguments I tried to debunk. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/malicious-streetlight-effects-vs

U.S. President Donald Trump has put out a call - asking other countries to send their navies to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump claims, without evidence, to have effectively defeated Iran. Even as Iran maintains military dominance over the vital shipping route, and its military leaders continue to threaten American targets across the Middle East.Also: The skyrocketing price of oil was top of mind during Mark Carney's visit to Norway. The Prime Minister met with his Norwegian counterpart in Oslo today, where they discussed Arctic security, support for Ukraine, and what role the two countries can play in easing an energy crisis. And: In the face of immigration raids still happening in cities across the United States - some Mexicans living in the U.S. are choosing to self-deport. They're leaving the country voluntarily before they are arrested and deported. You'll hear about the pressure that is putting on some families. Plus: Injunction on al-Quds rally in Toronto rejected, Lori Idlout's riding reacts to her crossing the floor, The women behind Oscar nominated film 'Sinners', and more.

Dr. Karen Hickman sits down with John Weir, Dr. Laura Goodman, and Dr. Mark Turner to talk invasive plants across the Great Plains—what's here, what's coming, and why our best defense often starts with a clean pickup, a better plant choice, and a tighter contract. We walk through Callery/Bradford pear's "overnight" takeover, Old World bluestem's misnamed reputation, and how sericea, Johnson grass, privet, kudzu, honeysuckle, tree-of-heaven, Siberian elm and others move from roadsides to rangeland. You'll hear field-tested tips: early detection/rapid response, where to scout first (gates, pens, ditches), what to tell pipeline and oilfield crews about decontamination, how hay can import problems after wildfire, and why tall, highly productive grasses (miscanthus, giant reed/cane, phragmites) pose wildfire risks on the urban–rural edge. We wrap with Oklahoma's watch lists, better native alternatives (hello, Mexican plum), and a clear message—don't plant your problems.

We got some extra news, and camel talk.

Send a textA railroad with no rails, no spikes, and barely any money somehow convinces a frontier to bet on its future. We tell the origin story of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe as Cyrus Kurtz Holliday tries to turn Kansas from a bruised battleground into a connected, growing state, using a charter, political leverage, and sheer persistence to keep the dream alive through drought and the Civil War. If you love railroad history, Kansas history, and the real mechanics behind westward expansion, this is the moment where the myth meets the math. We walk through what a “paper railroad” really means, why early pledges can't touch the true cost of building track, and how one signature in Washington changes the entire game. Lincoln's 1863 land grant turns prairie into capital and creates a relentless paradox: the rails must be laid to make the land valuable, but the land must be sold to pay for the rails, all under a hard deadline of March 3, 1873. The stakes are financial, political, and moral, because every mile raises the question of who pays and who loses. From the first sod turned in Topeka to the practical choice to chase coal at Carbondale, we follow the Santa Fe's early strategy and its push toward the cattle trade, challenging rival monopolies by reaching closer to the Chisholm Trail. We also spotlight the people who do the backbreaking work, from Irish immigrants and Civil War veterans to Mexican railroad laborers, and we don't look away from the cost to Native lands as the iron trail cuts west.

Despite ongoing efforts by Pemex to boost production of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, the Mexican market still depends on imports from the U.S. for just over half of its refined product needs. And moving nearly 700 Mb/d of transportation fuels to population centers south of the border is no easy task.

In this episode of Leading Through Crisis, host Céline Williams sits down with Ernesto Gómez, founder and CEO of Aspen Mindset1 and author of Regrowth: How Organizations Can Overcome Stalling by Unlocking Their People's Potential. Together, they explore how leaders can navigate today's complex landscape—where crises are no longer occasional events but an ongoing reality. Ernesto shares powerful insights on why organizations stall, how culture can either enable or block change, and why the real driver of performance lies within teams. He introduces the concept of “push vs. pull leadership” and explains how great leaders unlock potential not by applying pressure, but by creating the right conditions for people to thrive. Through real-world examples and practical frameworks, the conversation explores how leaders can rethink their approach to decision-making, innovation, and team development in an era of accelerating change. You'll learn: • Why crisis is becoming the new normal for leaders • The three layers of organizations: products, capabilities, and culture • How team dynamics drive organizational performance • The difference between push leadership vs pull leadership • Four cultural pillars that unlock team performance • Why humility and psychological safety are critical leadership traits • A practical framework for moving from stagnation to regrowth If you're a leader navigating uncertainty, building high-performing teams, or trying to drive change in a rapidly evolving world, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on how leadership must evolve. — Ernesto Gómez is a seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience, having built and led successful ventures across the food service industry in both the US and Mexico. Transitioning from a dynamic serial entrepreneur to a high-level corporate leader, he served as VP of Human Capital at Grupo Alfa, a major Mexican conglomerate with 83,000 employees, before becoming Chief Human Resources Officer at Sigma Alimentos, a global consumer packaged goods company with 43,000 employees. In these roles, he spearheaded global talent and cultural initiatives, playing a pivotal role in organizational transformation.  Ernesto is the author of Regrowth: How Organizations Can Overcome Stalling by Unlocking Their People's Potential. Ernesto is a lifelong learner.  He studied social communications and has completed executive programs at leading institutions, including Stanford GSB, MIT Sloan School of Management, Wharton Business School, Kellogg School of Management, Chicago Booth, London Business School, and IMD Business School.  He is the founder and CEO of Aspen Mindset1, a consulting firm dedicated to helping organizations and individuals reach peak performance. In 2024, Ernesto was invited as a guest speaker in the "Lead through Ambiguity" course at MIT Sloan School of Management. To learn more about Ernesto's work, head to aspenmindset1.com.

In 1836, the Texians faced a huge refugee crisis. Mexican general Santa Anna intended to wage a terror campaign against the civilian population as he had done in other Mexican states. In a panic, the citizens of Texas grabbed only what they could carry and fled east. What ensued was a refugee crisis of epic proportions. In this episode, I interview Dr. Stephen Hardin, the author of a recent book Texian Exodus: The Runaway Scrape and its Enduring Legacy. Dr. Hardin discusses these events and their considerable impact on the formation of the Texan identity.

This week we talk about Khamenei, Trump, and Netanyahu.We also discuss Venezuela, Cuba, and cartels.Recommended Book: Plagues upon the Earth by Kyle HarperTranscriptAli Hosseini Khamenei was an opposition politician in the lead-up to the Iranian Revolution that, in 1979, resulted in the overthrow of the Shah—the country's generally Western government-approved royal leader—and installed the Islamic Republic, an extremely conservative Shia government that took the reins of Iran following the Shah's toppling.Khamenei was Iran's third president, post-Shah, and he was president during the Iran-Iraq War from 1981-1989, during which the Supreme Leader of Iran, the head of the country, Ruhollah Khomeini sought the overthrow of then Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Khomeini died the same year the war ended, 1989, and Khamenei was elected to the role of Supreme Leader by the country's Assembly of Experts, which is responsible for determining such roles.The new Supreme Leader Khamenei was reportedly initially concerned that he wasn't suitable for the role, as his predecessor was a Grand Ayatollah of the faith, while he was just a mid-rank cleric, but the constitution of Iran was amended so that higher religious office was no longer required in a Supreme Leader, and in short order Khamenei moved to expound upon Iran's non-military nuclear program, to expand the use and reach of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in-country and throughout the region, and he doubled-down on supporting regional proxies like Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza, incorporating them into the so-called Axis of Resistance that stands against Western interests in the region—the specifics of which have varied over the decades, but which currently includes the aforementioned Hezbollah and Houthis, alongside smaller groups in neighboring countries, like Shiite militias in Bahrain, and forces that operate in other regional spheres of influence, like North Korea, Venezuela, and at times, portions of the Syrian government.Khamenei also reinforced the Iranian government's power over pretty much every aspect of state function, disempowering political opponents, cracking down on anyone who doesn't toe a very conservative extremist line—women showing their hair in public, for instance, have been black-bagged and sometimes killed while in custody—and thoroughly entangled the functions of state with the Iranian military, consolidating essentially all power under his office, Supreme Leader, while violently cracking down on anyone who opposed his doing whatever he pleased, as was the case with a wave of late-2025, early 2026 protests across the country, during which Iranian government forces massacred civilians, killing somewhere between 3,000 and 35,000 people, depending on whose numbers you believe.What I'd like to talk about today is a new war with Iran, kicked off by attacks on the country from Israel and the United States that led with the killing of Khamenei and a bunch of his higher-up officers, how this conflict is spreading across the region and concerns about that spreading, and what might happen next.—On February 28, 2026, the US and Israel launched a wave of joint air attacks against Iran, hitting mostly military and government sites across the country. One of the targets was Khamenei's compound, and his presence there, above-ground, which was unusual for him, as he spent most of his time deep underground in difficult-to-hit bunkers, alongside a bunch of government and military higher-ups, may have been the rationale for launching all of these attacks on that day, as the attackers were able to kill him and five other top-level Iranian leaders, who he was meeting with, at the same time.This wave of attacks followed the largest military buildup of US forces in the Middle East since the invasion of Iraq back in 2003, and while military and government targets were prioritized, that initial wave also demolished a lot of civilian structures, including schools, hospitals, and the Grand Bazaar in Tehran, leading to a whole lot of civilian casualties and fatalities, as well.In response, Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, and at US bases throughout the region—these bases located in otherwise uninvolved countries, including Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Iranian missiles and drones also hit non-military targets, and in some cases maybe accidentally hit civilian infrastructure, in Azerbaijan, and Oman, alongside a British military base on the island of Cyprus.The Iranian president apologized in early March for his country's lashing out at pretty much everyone, saying that there were miscommunications within the Iranian military, and that Iran wouldn't hit anyone else, including countries with US bases, so long as US attacks didn't originate from those bases.Despite that apology, though, Iranian missiles and drones continued to land in many of those neighboring countries following his remarks, raising questions about communications and control within the now-decapitated Iranian military.This new conflict follows long-simmering tensions between Iran and Israel—the former of which has said it will someday wipe the latter from the face of the Earth, considering its existence an abomination—and long-simmering tensions related to Iran's nuclear program, which the government has continuously said is just for civilian, energy purposes, but which pretty much everyone suspects, with a fair bit of evidence, is, in parallel, also a weapons program.Iran's influence throughout the region has been truncated in recent years, due to a sequence of successes by the Israeli military and intelligence services, which allowed them to hobble or nearly wipe out traditional Iranian proxy forces like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, which have collectively surrounded and menaced Israel for decades.Those menacing forces more or less handled, Israel has become more aggressive in its confrontations with Iran, exchanging large air attacks several times over the past handful of years, and the US under Trump's second term continues to see Iran as the main opposition to their efforts to build a US-aligned counterbalance against Russian and Chinese influence in the Middle East, with Israel, Saudi Arabia, and increasingly entities like Qatar and the UAE playing ball with the West, while Iran and its allies stand firm against the West.Trump has regularly threatened to act in Iran, usually waiting for the Iranian government to do something really bad, like that recent massacre of civilians following those large anti-government protests in late-2025, early 2026, and that to some degree has served as justification for the massing of US military assets in the region, leading up to this attack.Now that the attack has launched, a new war triggered, the question is how big it will get and how long it will last.For the moment, it looks like Iran's government and military is very much on the back foot, a lot of their assets taken out in that initial wave, and they're still scrambling to put someone in charge to replace Khamenei and those other higher-ups who were assassinated at the outset of this war—that'll likely change soon, maybe even before this episode goes live. But whomever takes the reins will have quite the task ahead of them, probably—according to many analysts, at least—aiming to just hold out until the US runs out of ammunition, which is expected to happen within a week or so, at which point Iran can launch surgical attacks, aiming to make this war too expensive, in terms of money and US lives, for the Trump administration to continue investing in, as money and lives are especially expensive in an election year, which 2026 is. So the idea is to grind the US down until it makes more political sense for Trump to just declare victory and leave, rather than allowing this to become a Vietnam or Afghanistan situation for his administration.It's also generally expected that when the US pulls out, Israel probably will too, as they've already made their point, tallied a bunch of victories, and set Iran back in a lot of ways; they could walk away whenever they like and say they won. And Iran would probably be incentivized to, at that point, avoid doing anything that would lead to more punishment, though they would almost certainly immediately begin rebuilding the same exact centralized, militarized infrastructure that was damaged, the only difference being they would have someone else on top, as the Supreme Leader. Relations could be even worse moving forward, but it would probably be at least a few years before Iran could do anything too significant to their regional enemies, which I guess if you're Israel does, in fact, represent a win.But considering the unlikelihood of permanent change in Iran, the big question here, in the minds of many, is what this war, this attack, is even for.For Israel, the main purpose of any attack against Iran is to weaken or destroy an enemy that has made no secret about wanting to weaken and destroy them. For the US, though, and the Trump administration more specifically, the point of all this isn't as clear.Some contend that this is another effort to steal attention and headlines from the increasingly horrifying revelations coming out of the investigation into the Epstein files, which seem to indicate Trump himself was involved in all sorts of horrible, pedophilic sexual assault activities with the late human-trafficker.Some suspect that the apparent victory in grabbing former Venezuelan president Maduro from his own country and whisking him away to the US without suffering any US casualties has emboldened Trump, and that he's going to use the time he's got to take out anyone he doesn't like, and may even specifically target authoritarian leaders who will not be missed—who oppress and kill their own people—because then it's difficult for his political opponents to call him out on these efforts.Most Venezuelans are happy to see Maduro gone, and many Iranians celebrated when Khamenei was assassinated. Trump has publicly stated that he intends to go after Cuba, next, and continues to suggest he wants a war of sorts with Mexican and south and central American cartels, which follows this same pattern of demonstrating a muscular, aggressive, militarized United States doing whatever it wants, even to the point of kidnapping or assassinating foreign leaders, but doing so in a way that is difficult to argue against, because the leaders and other forces being taken out are so horrible, at times to the point of being monstrous, that these acts, as illegal as they are according to internal laws, can still seem very justified, through some lenses.Still others have said they believe this is purely an Israeli op, and the US under Trump is just helping out one of Trump's buddies, Israel's Netanyahu, who wants to keep his country embroiled in war in order to avoid being charged for corruption.The real rationale could be a combination of these and other considerations, but the threat here, regionally, is real, especially if Iran continues to lash out at its neighbors.This part of the world is renowned for its fuel reserves and exports, and every time there's a Middle Eastern conflict, energy prices rise, globally, and other nations that produce such exports, like Russia, benefit financially because they can charge more for their oil and gas for a while—gas prices in the US have already increased by 14% over the past week as a result of the conflict—and those increases also then the raises the price of all sorts of other goods, spiking inflation.Another huge concern here, though, is that this part of the world is highly reliant on the desalination of water just to survive; massive desalination plants, most located along the coast, where they are very exposed to military threats, are at risk if Iran and Saudi Arabia, or Kuwait, or Oman start firing at each other in earnest.About 90% of Kuwait's drinking water comes from these sorts of plants, and about 86% of Oman's and 70% of Saudi Arabia's do, as well.Earlier in this war, a US strike damaged an Iranian desalination plant, and the Iranian foreign minister made a not-so-veiled threat against such plants in neighboring countries, saying the US set the precedent of attacking such infrastructure, not them.Worth noting here, too, is that many desalination plants are attached to power stations, located within the same facility, so attacks on power infrastructure, which are already common in any conflict, could also lead to more damaged desalination plants, all of which could in turn create massive humanitarian crises, as people living in some of the hottest, driest parts of the world find themselves, in the millions, without drinkable water.The potential for a spiraling humanitarian disaster increases with each passing day, then, which would seem to increase the likelihood that someone will stop, declare victory, and move on to the next conflict. But there's always the chance the one or more of the involved forces will clamp down and decide that it's in their best interest to keep things going as long as possible, instead—and in this case, it would likely be Iran playing that role, locking the US and Israel and their allies into a grinding, long-term conflict that no one would actually win.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_Resistancehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_and_state_funeral_of_Ruhollah_Khomeinihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacreshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khameneihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Ali_Khameneihttps://www.eurasiareview.com/08032026-strikes-continue-despite-iranian-presidents-apology/https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/trump-rejects-settling-iran-war-raises-prospect-killing-all-its-potential-2026-03-08/https://www.reuters.com/world/us/irans-retaliation-began-us-officials-scrambled-arrange-evacuations-2026-03-07/https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/mapping-crisis-iran-visual-explainer-2026-03-06/https://apnews.com/live/iran-war-israel-trump-03-08-2026https://apnews.com/article/iran-israel-us-march-8-2026-f0b20dbffaea9351ae1e54183ffe53ffhttps://apnews.com/article/iran-war-desalination-water-oil-middle-east-12b23f2fa26ed5c4a10f80c4077e61cehttps://apnews.com/video/trump-says-us-will-turn-attention-to-cuba-after-war-with-iran-91c3f239c18349fdb409f901c50b7e71https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/08/world/iran-war-trump-israel-lebanonhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/us/politics/trump-russia-ukraine-iran-war.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/us/politics/iran-war-first-week.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/03/08/opinion/iran-war-ayatollah.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war This is a public episode.

First customer deliveries have slipped to 2028, with delays attributed to technical challenges in developing a rugged ladder-frame platform with dual powertrains.RIVIAN DROPS $45,000 R2 STARTING-PRICE LINERivian has quietly removed the "$45,000 starting price" reference from its R2 product page, replacing it with a countdown clock ahead of a March 12 reveal at South by Southwest where full pricing and specs are expected. The R2 will launch first as a higher-priced dual-motor variant, with a more affordable single-motor base model to follow shortly after.BEVS NOW BEAT ICE ON COST IN MORE MARKETSAyvens' 2026 Car Cost Index finds BEVs now undercut comparable ICE models on total cost of ownership in a growing number of European markets, with Western and Northern Europe leading the way. In the compact segment BEVs hold a TCO advantage in 19 of 30 markets, and the BMW i4 beats the petrol 3 Series on TCO in 20 of 30 European countries.GLOBAL PUBLIC EV CHARGERS HEAD FOR 9.01M IN 2026Global public EV charging infrastructure is forecast to reach 9.01 million plugs in 2026, up from 7.11 million in 2025, though China alone accounts for 67% of the global total and the top eight countries host 88% of all chargers. Growth is slowing in Europe and losing momentum in the US, while Germany is on track to overtake the Netherlands in installed chargers during 2026.UK SUPPLIERS PULL FIXED DEALS AS GAS SPIKESUK energy suppliers slashed available fixed tariffs from 38 to 17 in a matter of days as wholesale gas prices spiked roughly 75% following disruption to Middle Eastern gas infrastructure, with the cheapest typical annual dual-fuel fixed deal rising from £1,509 to £1,640. EV-specific tariffs were also affected, with EDF pausing some EV tariffs and E.ON briefly freezing one, threatening the cost advantage of off-peak home charging for EV drivers.NEXTSTAR SWITCHES ON CANADA'S FIRST EV CELL PLANTNextStar Energy, a Stellantis and LG Energy Solution joint venture, has opened Canada's first commercial-scale EV battery cell plant in Windsor, Ontario, having already produced over one million cells since production began in November 2025. Beyond supplying Stellantis brands, NextStar aims to expand into stationary energy storage for municipal and provincial grids.STELLANTIS PLANS £50M ELLESMERE PORT VAN LINEStellantis will invest £50 million at Ellesmere Port to add an assembly line for electric Vauxhall Vivaro vans and other midsize zero-emission commercial vehicles from next year, building on the site's existing all-electric output. However, Stellantis warns the plant may not be commercially viable under the UK's ZEV mandate for vans, which carries an £18,000 fine per non-compliant vehicle at a 24% electric sales threshold that the industry is currently only half-meeting.MET SEIZES 52 ILLEGAL E-BIKES AND MOPEDSThe Metropolitan Police seized 52 illegal electric bikes and mopeds across London over two days, using targeted checkpoints in high-pedestrian-risk areas including Harlesden and Cambridge Circus. Officers also made arrests for dangerous driving, weapons possession, and outstanding prison recall warrants, linking illegal e-bikes to phone snatches and broader street crime.MEXICO AUTO PLANTS PIVOT TO HIGHER-VALUE EVSMexico's auto sector is shifting focus from volume to higher-value output between 2025 and 2027, with GM concentrating Cadillac OPTIQ production at Ramos Arizpe and BMW committing its San Luis Potosí plant to build the iX3 — its first Neue Klasse EV — from 2027. Both manufacturers have maintained their Mexican strategies despite ongoing uncertainty from US tariffs and trade policy under President Trump.FARLEY POURS COLD WATER ON ELECTRIC UTESFord CEO Jim Farley says current BEV technology is poorly suited to mainstream ute and pickup buyers who tow heavy loads, calling a large-battery BEV "a really bad tow-er," and Ford has already shelved the F-150 Lightning following weak demand and a $19.5 billion EV writedown. Farley backs extended-range EVs as the near-term bridge solution for work-capable vehicles, while dismissing solid-state batteries and fuel cells as not yet on Ford's product horizon.

Episode 317 is the first in a mini-series covering Sylvia Duran in Mexico. And what a tale it is. You heard much about Sylvia Duran already in the early Mexico City episodes. We pick the story back up  just as the JFK assassination takes place on November 22nd, 1963 and events almost simultaneously begin to unfold and  overtake her. The  harrowing story of Sylvia Duran, a 26-year-old Mexican consular secretary at the Cuban Consulate in Mexico City is one of the most confounding in  the  JFK's assassination story.  Amidst the chaos following President Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963, Duran's  name surfaces in Lee Harvey Oswald's address book, linking her to his September visit where he sought a visa to Cuba. Duran, a socialist sympathizer but not a communist, was under intense CIA surveillance through wiretaps and cameras, and was viewed as a potential future asset due to her past affair with a Cuban diplomat.The CIA's Mexico City station chief, Winston Scott, bypasses protocol and uses his covert LITEMPO network—high-level Mexican officials on CIA payroll—to order Duran's arrest via the brutal DFS secret police. On November 23, agents raid a family gathering, detaining Duran and her relatives in a terrifying show of force. This rogue action alarms CIA headquarters, who fear it could expose illegal operations or disrupt U.S. strategies regarding Cuban involvement in the assassination, potentially sparking nuclear tensions.Under interrogation by DFS deputy director Fernando Gutiérrez Barrios, Duran endures physical torture, including arm-squeezing and beatings, while her family suffers nearby. Coerced into false admissions of a sexual affair with Oswald, she later recants, revealing the ordeal's brutality. The episode uncovers how U.S. intelligence manipulated Mexican authorities to control the narrative, setting the stage for further revelations in upcoming installments.

Separate Outcomes from Identity Results are feedback—not a judgment of your worth. Treat success and failure like a scientist treats data: information that helps guide your next attempt. 2. Care Deeply, But Stay Detached Commit fully to preparation and effort, but let go of rigid expectations. Peak performance happens when you care—but remain mentally loose. 3. Widen Your Perspective Fear narrows perception. When frustration or anxiety creeps in, step back and consider the bigger picture of your climbing journey. 4. Recognize Self-Sabotage Many self-defeating behaviors stem from fear of failure. Notice the pattern and commit fully—remove the escape routes. 5. Design Your Environment Your surroundings influence behavior more than willpower. Set up your environment so good choices become automatic. 6. Build Confidence with Evidence Confidence comes from past effort and experience. Remember the training sessions, challenges, and setbacks you've already overcome. 7. Stay Calm Under Pressure True toughness is the ability to make clear decisions when stress rises. Pause, breathe, and choose the next smart action. 8. Align Effort with Purpose Grinding through pain isn't always productive. Growth comes from intentional stress followed by proper recovery. 9. Pursue Mastery, Not Just Metrics Grades and performance numbers are useful indicators—but mastery of movement, skill, and understanding is the real long-term goal. 10. Break Plateaus with Novelty When progress stalls, change something. Train in a new place, climb with new partners, or modify your routine to spark fresh momentum. 11. Choose Tradeoffs Intentionally You can't do everything at once. Decide what matters most this season and accept the tradeoffs required to pursue it. 12. Consistency Beats Intensity Big breakthroughs rarely come from a single heroic effort. Progress is built through consistent, focused sessions over time. 13. Use Checkpoints Break large goals into smaller, achievable steps. Mini-goals provide feedback, motivation, and a sense of progress. 14. Find the Performance Sweet Spot The best training happens just beyond comfort—but short of overwhelm. When challenge and skill align, the flow state emerges. 15. Recovery Completes the Cycle Stress only drives adaptation when it's followed by recovery. Prioritize sleep, nutrition, rest days, and periodic deloads. Final Thoughts Climbing your best isn't just about strong fingers or hours spent training. It's about bringing together physical preparation, mental resilience, and strategic decision-making. The tips in this episode are simple—but powerful when practiced consistently. Show up prepared, stay curious, remain patient with the process, and keep refining your approach. Over time, those small improvements compound—and the sends will come. ⭐ Enjoy the podcast? Leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts and share this episode with a climbing partner!

Director John Huston lived the adventurous life that was frequently depicted in his movies. As a young man, he was made an honorary lieutenant in the Mexican army. He was nearly shot during a poker game and challenged to a duel in the middle of the street. His thrill-seeking antics soon turned fatal, when he accidentally struck and killed a woman with his car while driving down Sunset Boulevard. He ran off to London to lay low, but soon found himself with no job, no money, no prospects–and no choice but to live on the streets and beg for change.
