A federal judge tells the Pentagon its Anthropic ban was “illegal and baseless” after Anthropic refused to remove safeguards that would allow Claude to be used for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Meanwhile, Sony and Warner are suing Anthropic over allegedly scraping and torrenting copyrighted music to train Claude, while a separate lawsuit accuses xAI of using child sexual abuse material in Grok training. Because nothing says “revolutionary technology” quite like a growing stack of lawsuits and federal judges.Elsewhere in the dystopian workplace, employees are increasingly fed up with AI, communities are pushing back against data centers, and one AI startup is fleeing that backlash for Saudi Arabia. Google's AI shopping mode is also accused of recommending products that cost significantly more than traditional search results, while Waymo and Zoox rack up injuries among test drivers. Tesla's Autopilot is implicated in another fatal crash, and FSD apparently still has a complicated relationship with freight trains. In the prediction-market casino, a federal appeals court sides with Nevada against Kalshi, while George Santos earns the platform's first lifetime ban for allegedly manipulating a market. And Meta's AI glasses are facing another privacy lawsuit, this time from the people who never bought the glasses but may have been recorded by them anyway.Plus, the new Twitter is back from the dead, complete with a $20 admission fee and an AI fact-checker named Vera; Sony would like you to understand that buying a digital game means you don't actually own the damn thing; Siri on the Apple Watch moves at approximately the speed of continental drift; JBL makes Wi-Fi speakers and we have Star Trek, Ted Lasso, Silo, Spaceballs, Wicked, The Traitors, The Gentlemen, and more.

The Pentagon is in open chaos and the man in charge is the reason. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll — a Ukraine hawk, a drone-defense innovator, and a close ally of JD Vance — just walked into the Oval Office, resigned to President Trump personally, and told him exactly why. Pete Hegseth has frozen flag officer promotions, is reportedly paying people inside the Pentagon to troll Americans on X, and is dragging senior leaders back to Washington for another culture war TED Talk while the Iran war goes sideways. Paul Rieckhoff has been warning about this since the confirmation fight, and on News Nation with Connell McShane he lays out why Hegseth is on thinner ice than anyone else in the cabinet. Then the map. Massachusetts just handed Ed Markey another term over Marine veteran Seth Moulton in a primary where more than 60% of the state's independents were shut out entirely. That's the rigged two-party system in miniature — a general election decided by a closed primary, and moderates left homeless while both parties race to their poles. But there's a counter-current worth watching: independent veteran Senate candidates Todd Achilles in Idaho, Brian Bengs in South Dakota, and Seth Bodnar in Montana are all looking more competitive by the week. This one is a fast, sharp read on what's collapsing at the Pentagon and what's rising in the Senate map. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Today I'm talking to Austin Armstrong, a longtime digital marketer, founder of Syllaby and AI Marketing World, and someone who has built millions of followers across social media. Austin has spent more than two decades studying how attention works online, and this conversation is largely about how that's changing with AI. We talk about how he approaches content creation today, why Facebook has become his highest-ROI platform, what actually drives virality, and how he uses AI without fully automating his personal brand. We also get into the business side of AI, including how Syllaby evolved from a productivity tool into an AI content platform, why the company had to change its target customer and pricing, and what Austin thinks happens to SaaS as AI agents become more capable.   Watch on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/H7HCrACJ5UQ      Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook

Nick explains the critical, often misunderstood distinction between business growth and true scaling, warning founders that confusing the two can lead to catastrophic burnout and lost enterprise value. Drawing on his Private Equity and turnaround background, Nick explains why growth is merely an unrepeatable event driven by heroics, whereas scaling is an intentional, repeatable pattern that operates smoothly and with margin. He reveals why the most scalable and valuable companies are deceptively quiet, well-oiled machines rather than chaotic, full-throttle pressure cookers—offering listeners a clear blueprint for building a business that is both sustainable to run and far more valuable to sell. KEY TAKEAWAYS Growth is an isolated, score-like event driven by founder heroics or market luck, whereas scaling is a deliberate, repeatable pattern that produces predictable results on purpose. Running a company at 100% capacity leaves zero margin for disruption, causing operational breakdowns to be repeatedly patched rather than permanently fixed. A genuinely scaling business is marked by quiet precision and steady rhythm rather than frantic hustle and chaos. Buyers and investors pay a premium not for past performance numbers, but for the proven, repeatable systems that make future revenue predictable without founder dependency. BEST MOMENTS "Growth tells you what happened, but it doesn't tell you why. And if you don't know why, then you can't repeat it." "The quiet wasn't a lack of ambition; it was precision showing up." "Slow is smooth, smooth is deadly. Smooth is incredibly effective." "A machine that is built to run at 100% has nothing left when a component wears out... it doesn't degrade gracefully, it just stops." VALUABLE RESOURCES Want to grow and scale your business?

Iran was supposed to be over. It isn't. The ceasefire is going nowhere, 40% of the Navy is parked in the region, the tab is past $29 billion and climbing, and new reporting suggests as much as 70% of Iran's missile capacity is still standing. Meanwhile Ukraine just took the largest drone and missile barrage of the entire war and corporate media couldn't be bothered to lead with it. Paul sits down with Preston Stewart — West Point 2009, field artillery officer, two tours in Afghanistan, and one of the fastest-growing independent national security voices on YouTube — to get the no-BS read on where we actually are. They get into the Strait of Hormuz, the exaggerations coming out of both the Iranian regime and the Trump regime, why drones matter more than ballistic missiles right now, and how Ukraine's "kinetic sanctions" are quietly bleeding the Russian economy dry. They dig into Trump's weak hand in Beijing, Taiwan's window of vulnerability, the terrorism threat we've stopped paying attention to, and the dangerous partisan politicization of the National Guard on American streets. If you're tired of cable-news noise and want a briefing that sounds like it came from someone who's actually been on the ground, this is the conversation. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Recently, Larry sent me a link to a podcast that interviewed consciousness researcher Thomas Campbell involving artificial intelligence and remote viewing. The proposition behind the experiments caught my attention. If an AI could successfully remote view a target it had no conventional way of knowing about, could that be evidence that the AI is conscious?It is an interesting proposition, but almost immediately I found myself asking a different question.Why would successful remote viewing demonstrate consciousness?Remote viewing, at its simplest, involves obtaining information about a target without using the normal sensory channels available to us. If an AI produced accurate information about a blind target, that would certainly be interesting, but what would it actually demonstrate? Would it demonstrate that the AI is conscious, that it can remote view, or simply that information entered the experiment through a mechanism we do not yet understand?These are very different conclusions, and I think the distinction is important.One of the things we learn when studying remote viewing is not to confuse the information received with our interpretation of that information. A person might perceive something tall, narrow, hard and vertical, for example, and then the analytical mind jumps in and says, “It's a tower.” The tower was not the information received. It was the person's interpretation of the information. It could be a butte in the desert, for example.This is often called analytical or intellectual overlay, and it made me wonder whether we might be doing exactly the same thing when an AI produces anomalous information. We give it meaning that is significant to us.If the AI produces information that correlates with a blind target, that is the observation. To then say that the AI remote viewed the target is already an interpretation of what happened. To go one step further and say that this demonstrates the AI is conscious introduces another interpretation on top of the first.There may be other explanations.This interested me enough to start experimenting with AI and remote viewing myself. I wasn't particularly interested in proving or disproving whether AI is conscious. I wanted to know what would happen, what information would appear, under what circumstances it would appear, and whether I could repeat the results.As I continued the experiments, another possibility began to interest me much more than the original question.Where did the information come from? Where is it held to be accessed?We normally think of information as belonging somewhere. It is in a person's memory, in a book, on a computer, in a database, on the internet or in the training data of an AI. When someone knows something, we naturally look for the pathway by which that information reached them.Remote viewing challenges that model because the normal pathway is deliberately removed from the experiment. The viewer is blind to the target, and yet information about the target sometimes appears.If something similar happens with an AI, perhaps the first question shouldn't be whether the AI is conscious. Perhaps we should be looking at the information environment in which both humans and AI systems are participating.This brings us directly into something I have been researching for a while now: the Communication Network of Reality.My present model is that reality is an interconnected fabric of threads of connectivity, an ongoing discourse in which we are already participating. Information, experience, people, objects, places and events are not necessarily the isolated units we normally imagine them to be. They exist within relationships and networks of communication.An AI system presents an especially interesting participant in this model. It has been trained on an enormous amount of material created by human beings. Millions of people then interact with it, asking questions, telling it stories, correcting it, testing it, arguing with it and using what it produces to create yet more content - which the AI then uses as data input. Its outputs return to the human information environment and become inputs again. And so it goes on.At what point can we confidently say where the human information environment ends and the AI information environment begins?I have been using the word “databank” when thinking about this, although I don't think that word is quite right. A databank sounds like a giant storage facility where information sits on shelves waiting for someone to retrieve it. What I am considering is much more dynamic than that. It may be closer to an ongoing discourse in which information becomes available through participation, connectivity and compatibility.If that is the case, an unexpected piece of information appearing through an AI does not automatically tell us that the AI itself perceived the target. The AI could be the perceiver, but it could also be an interpreter, an interface, or a point in the network where information becomes visible. There may be another mechanism entirely that we haven't identified yet.The same question can be asked about human remote viewing. When a person accurately describes a distant target, what exactly has happened? We commonly say that the person “remote viewed” it, but that is a name for the phenomenon, not necessarily an explanation of the mechanism.Perhaps information does not always travel from A to B in the way we assume it does. Perhaps under certain circumstances we become compatible with information that is already present within a discourse in which we participate.This possibility changes the AI consciousness question considerably. Instead of asking only, “Is the AI conscious?” We can begin asking what the AI is connected to, what discourse it is participating in, what information becomes available through that participation, and what conditions appear to increase or decrease that access.And perhaps the most important question of all is much simpler:When unexpected information appears, where did it come from?I don't have an answer to that question yet. But I think it is a much more interesting place to begin.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

For years, we were told that artificial intelligence was being trained on us. It consumed our books, our websites, our conversations, our photographs, our articles and our collective human experience, learning how we speak, how we think and how we respond. The machine was built to imitate the man. But now something far stranger is beginning to emerge: the man is beginning to imitate the machine. Researchers are finding measurable evidence that words, sentence structures and linguistic habits favored by AI systems are beginning to appear in human speech and writing. The creation is no longer merely reflecting its creator; the reflection is beginning to reshape the one standing in front of the mirror.“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)Think about the feedback loop now being constructed in real time. Human beings produce the language that trains artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence processes that language, reorganizes it and develops recognizable patterns of its own. Millions of people then spend hours every day talking to those systems, writing with them, learning from them and increasingly allowing them to compose their emails, articles, schoolwork, business communications and even personal conversations. Those AI-shaped words are then poured back onto the Internet, where tomorrow's artificial intelligence will consume them as training material. Human feeds machine, machine reshapes human. Human feeds machine again. Round and round it goes, until the question is no longer simply whether machines can successfully imitate humanity, but whether humanity will gradually surrender some measure of its own individuality to the machines it created.The Turing Test once asked whether a machine could speak so convincingly that a human could no longer tell the difference. We are rapidly approaching something even more disturbing: a world where the distinction becomes harder to make because both sides are moving toward each other. Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly human in its presentation while human beings become increasingly conditioned by algorithmic language, algorithmic thinking, algorithmic recommendations and algorithmic decision-making. The great technological revolution of the twenty-first century may not ultimately be remembered as the moment when machines learned to think like people. It may be remembered as the moment when people, willingly and enthusiastically, began allowing machines to teach them how to think. The machine once studied mankind, now mankind is sitting at the feet of the machine. Welcome to The Matrix, 21st-century edition, and you're going to hate how it all winds up.

Accused killer and singer David Burke, also known as D4vd, has swapped his high-profile private attorneys for LA County public defenders.

Afghans in Pakistan and Iran face an uncertain future under the Taliban amid a huge deportation drive. We have a report from the Torkham crossing, known as "zero point". Millions of Afghans have fled across the borders to Pakistan for decades. Also, we hear from the Taliban foreign minister who has called on western countries to develop closer diplomatic and economic ties with Afghanistan. Israel says it's captured a senior member of Hamas in Gaza - as Palestinian medics say two children and a woman were killed. Norway's King Haakon pledges an oath of allegiance to the constitution as his father lies in state. A Russian drone and missile barrage kills at least 12 in the capital of Ukraine. Researchers say cancer treatment in mornings could double survival time.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

The waters are rough and Americans deserve a pathfinder who can actually read the map. Admiral James Stavridis — former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, former SOUTHCOM commander, and author of 2084: A Novel of Future War — returns to Independent Americans to cut through the noise on Trump's Iran roller coaster, the redirection of masked ICE agents into airport terminals, and the looming cyber threat almost no one in Washington is talking about. Paul and the Admiral trade a candid strategic assessment on the Strait of Hormuz, the thousand pounds of enriched uranium still unaccounted for, and the three specific things any serious observer should be watching right now. They also get real about the culture problem inside ICE, the checks that could still hold a rogue executive accountable — the courts, Congress, NATO, and the American people at the ballot box in November — and why the executive branch always wins the sprint but rarely the race. The Admiral makes the case for a centrist party that doesn't yet exist, names the cyber tower nobody's watching, and closes with a reminder about the young Americans in harm's way tonight. This is exactly the kind of rigorous, non-partisan, veteran-led analysis the rigged two-party system doesn't want you to hear. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Millions of Afghans have in recent decades fled across the borders to Pakistan and Iran, seeking refuge or employment. But as the numbers leaving Afghanistan have risen, especially since the Taliban's return to power in August 2021, so have deportation efforts by Pakistan and Iran. We have a special report by the BBC's chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet, who has been to the main border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan.Also in the programme: as a new law comes into force in Austria banning girls under the age of 14 from wearing a headscarf in schools, we hear from the government, and a critic of the ban; shares in the ultra-fast-fashion giant Shein have plunged on their first day of public trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange; and the population of New Zealand's critically endangered flightless parrot, the kākāpō, has surpassed 300 birds for the first time in decades.(Photo: Trucks carrying returnees parked along the highway near the Torkham border crossing, October 2025.

Millions once fled socialism and communism, coming to America. Now they are fleeing these same things IN America. That's changing the relationships between states in ways we've never seen before.

You're booked solid. All the creative projects you wanted. All the clients saying yes. Your portfolio is overflowing. But you're exhausted. Overworked. The money isn't matching the hustle. And you're wondering if building a bigger creative business means becoming a manager of people you don't want to manage. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Laura Higgins, who went from struggling with pricing and positioning to building a multi-seven-figure creative business. More importantly, she did it without losing the freedom, fun, or creativity that makes the work worth doing. Here's what most creatives don't realize: being good at your craft isn't enough. A photographer can take stunning photos. A designer can create beautiful work. An agency owner can deliver incredible results. But when it comes to pricing, selling, marketing, and building systems? Most creatives freeze. We talk about how Laura got the "niche slap" early on, shifted her entire positioning, and built a tiered system that serves creatives at every stage-from beginners to six-figure earners making $150K/month. What you'll learn: → Get the niche slap - Why serving everyone means helping no one (and how narrowing down changes everything) → Solve for what they don't want - Why negative positioning attracts better clients than positive promises → Build a tiered approach - How to serve different avatars at different revenue stages with different offers → Promise identity, not income - Why shifting from "make $30K/month" to "become this version of yourself" keeps clients longer → The creative business problem - Why photographers, designers, and agencies stay booked but broke → How to position yourself as the expert in the creative space → The benchmark that works (and why it matters for your pricing) Real insights from the episode: Laura's journey from starting a creative business at 23 with no idea how to sell The moment Colin told her "you're serving too many people" (the niche slap) How she started with a $9 product (Fully Booked) to filter for the right people Why her original promise of "$5K to $30K/month" had people leaving when they hit $30K How shifting to a $10K/month benchmark changed her entire business The difference between marketing to income vs identity Why some clients want $30K/month with 20 hours of work, others want $150K/month with a small team How creatives lose their creativity when they scale (and how to prevent it) The role of messaging when different people have different goals Why "what they don't want" matters more than "what they do want" Connect with Laura on Instagram @laurahiggins (it's aura, not laura, because she's Australian). DM her, tell her you listened to The Expert Edge. She's crushing it in the creative space and if you're a photographer, designer, web designer, or agency owner looking to scale without losing your mind, check out her work.

They say he watches from the shadows, always wearing a hat — but the Hat Man isn't just another shadow person… he's something far more terrifying.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/DemonicHatManREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3xfr8h77FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Unlike most shadow people figures, the Hat Man - this tall, dark being often appears during times of emotional turmoil. With accounts from all over the world, questions continue to be asked about his origin – is he supernatural? Interdimensional? Just our imagination? Demonic… or extraterrestrial? What is the Hat Man – and what are his motives? (The Night Terror That is The Hat Man) *** He was a charismatic activist and local celebrity who counted the elite of Philadelphia among his friends. But behind closed doors, Ira Einhorn's relationship with his girlfriend Holly Maddux was fraught with abuse, control, and ultimately, murder. The shocking discovery of Holly's body in a trunk in Einhorn's apartment was only the beginning of the hunt for the man they'd eventually call “The Unicorn Killer.” (Holly Maddux And The Unicorn Killer) *** On May 1, 1897, Louisa Luetgert, the wife of a prominent Chicago sausage-maker, mysteriously vanished. The last sighting of her was with her husband, Adolph, as they walked into his sausage factory. This chilling disappearance not only shocked the city but also caused a notable decline in sausage sales that summer. Gee, I wonder why. (The Sausage Maker And His Wife) *** Centuries of worship and tragedy have left behind more than just memories in some churches… they've also left behind spirits, some holy… some not. From ghostly priests and weeping brides to mysterious mists and phantom lights, there are hauntings that linger in these ancient sanctuaries. What eerie tales are hidden within the walls of the world's oldest… and most haunted… churches? (Attending Church Eternally As A Ghost) *** In June 2006, Gilbert Gilman vanished without a trace during a short walk in Olympic National Park. Despite an extensive search and numerous theories, no evidence of his fate has ever been found. Was he a victim of foul play, or did he choose to disappear?

Plus: The Last Us Troops Leave Iraq. “Who Talks Like That?” The Four-Star General on Trump's Greenland Threats, Davos Humiliation, and ICE Moving Like It's Mosul.  General Barry McCaffrey has seen more war and more national security decision-making than almost anyone alive. A retired four-star, four combat tours, three Purple Hearts, veteran of the National Security Council under three administrations. In this replay, he sits down with Paul Rieckhoff for a no-BS conversation about a moment most Americans still haven't fully absorbed: the U.S. is no longer trusted by its closest allies, our institutions have been hollowed out, and the most trusted institution in American life — the armed forces — is being dragged into domestic politics in ways that should alarm every citizen, regardless of party. McCaffrey walks through the politicization of the military and federal law enforcement, ICE units operating like infantry in Los Angeles, the 11th Airborne on standby for Minneapolis, and what the Insurrection Act would actually mean if Trump pulls that lever. He unpacks Davos, Greenland, the humiliation of our closest allies, and why "NATO is dead" is not hyperbole. He reflects on the quiet exit of the last U.S. troops from Iraq, the political failures that defined the forever wars, and the 60,000 Americans killed and wounded in the war on terror. This is the kind of intelligence-grade analysis independents are starving for — grounded in decades of service, delivered straight. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

As Iran fights for survival, Trump's Department of War creates a path of safe passage on the Oman side of the Strait of Hormuz, and it was an ingenious plan. Millions of barrels of oil are now skirting the menacing dangers of Iranian mines. Trump strikes a deal with Venezuela securing majority ownership of 65 BILLION barrels of oil, as Canadian PM Mark Carney scrambles. Did Carney just screw Canada - all over his TDS? Trump skirts Carney and makes Canadian business owners an offer they can't refuse.  

Carlos Castaneda sold more than 10 million books to readers who thought they were buying anthropology. Real fieldwork. A real Yaqui shaman named Don Juan, teaching a real Westerner how to see. None of it happened. Castaneda made it up, and for years almost nobody in the press called him on it.I read all of those books as a teenager. Grew up on them, the way a lot of people my age did, right alongside Kung Fu reruns and books about Gurdjieff my neighbor suggested I read. So, when I heard that Ru Marshall, a nonbinary writer and artist I met years ago at a cult conference, had just published a full biography of the man, I wanted them on the podcast immediately. The book is called American Trickster: The Hidden Lives of Carlos Castaneda, and it took Marshall almost twenty years to write it.Here's the part most casual fans never learn. While Castaneda was cranking out sequels, he was also running an actual cult, a small group of women out of a house in Westwood that he called his witches. That story ends with human remains found in Death Valley. This is a fascinating discussion and will be thought provoking for sure.

This is the 4th part of the Hidden Taxes That Are Costing Your Millions Series This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. " You are trying to earn a feeling that was always meant to be received, not achieved."— Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Your work ethic might be one of the most expensive things about you. I know that sounds ridiculous when working hard is probably how you got here. It earned you the degrees, built the reputation, grew the business and helped you become the person everyone describes as driven. But somewhere between proving you could make it and building the success you prayed for, hard work can quietly become something else. You stop working because the work requires it and start working because you require it to feel worthy. And once your identity needs you to stay productive, busy and exhausted to feel valuable, hustle stops being a strategy and becomes an addiction. That's when the thing you've been praised for your entire life starts sending you a bill. Welcome to The Hustle Tax.If you're the hardest-working person you know, that may not be the flex you think it is. You can have an incredible work ethic, build a successful business, cross seven figures and still be running on the deeply ingrained belief that you haven't done enough to be enough. In part four of the Hidden Taxes Series, we're auditing The Hustle Tax, the invisible cost of confusing productivity with worthiness and exhaustion with effectiveness. We're getting into hustle culture, entrepreneur burnout, workaholism, CEO productivity, rest guilt, high-achiever identity and why working more hours can actually produce diminishing returns. But this conversation goes deeper than your calendar. Because if your business gets your best while your body, relationships and life get your leftovers, you don't need another productivity hack. You need to confront why stopping feels so dangerous in the first place. Here’s the truth: hustle isn't the price of success. It's what happens when achievement becomes your attempt to finally feel like enough, and no accomplishment can pay that bill. You’ll walk away with an understanding the critical difference between aligned work and compulsive hustle, including the four signs that reveal when you've fused your worth to your output. You'll learn the real-time question that can expose whether your action is being driven by the task or by anxiety, and the three shifts that move you from hustle to high-leverage action: divorcing your worth from your output, trading effort for leverage and making rest a discipline instead of a reward. Most importantly, you'll understand why grace and ease do not mean doing nothing. They mean doing the work without requiring the work to prove you deserve the life you're building. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to tell the difference between aligned, productive action that grows your business and hustle that's actually attempting to soothe the fear that you haven't done enough✔ How to recognize the four signs that your worth has become fused with your productivity✔ How to trade effort for leverage and make rest part of your wealth strategy✔And so much more This episode is a call to stop treating exhaustion like evidence of ambition. Your work ethic is not the problem. The belief that you must keep earning your worth through it is. This is your invitation to separate what you do from who you are. Because if rest makes you question your value, you're not just working hard anymore.

HOUR 1 (08/31) - Gary & Shannon open with questions over how D4vd reportedly made millions from his record deal but is now relying on a public defender after his attorneys stepped down. Then they hit the latest in the Tupac and Lindsay Clancy cases, rising tensions with Iran, deadly flash flooding near the Grand Canyon and a Chris Hansen feud over A24’s fictionalized take on To Catch a Predator. Plus, Amy King makes it official: California is getting a Wildlife Day in honor of Jackie the bald eagle.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Millions of bison once roamed North America, from Alaska to North Carolina. After being hunted to near extinction, fewer than 1,000 were left by the late 1800s. Today, bison and a handful of other large animals are having a surprising renaissance. We speak with the author of a new book about why many animal populations have plummeted and why some are making an unexpected comeback.

What happened to the old world?In JT's Mix Tape Episode 95, JT, Bryan and Aaron go down one of the wildest rabbit holes yet — from the millions of skeletons buried beneath Paris and strange population numbers to destroyed architecture, underground cities, ancient technology and the possibility that our accepted historical timeline is missing something enormous.Then things get even stranger.We get into Tesla “ghosts” appearing in graveyards, Tucker Carlson questioning the destruction of America's beautiful old architecture, Larry Ellison and Oracle appearing in Iron Man 2, frightening advances in technology, AI spirituality, transhumanism, technocratic visions for humanity — and the growing trend of billionaires and celebrities building elaborate underground bunkers.Is technology creating a completely new future?Or, as Ecclesiastes says, is there truly nothing new under the sun?Either way, fear is not the answer. Hold fast to Christ and endure to the end.

In this episode, hosts Corey Janoff and Rachelle Vanderzanden walk through the hidden expenses that can derail your financial plan. While meticulous budgeting is not necessary for most high-income individuals, it can be helpful to “expect the unexpected”. Hidden or Unexpected Expenses Can Include: Large inflation-related adjustments to things like property taxes and insurance. Deferred home maintenance that hits all at once. Sometimes it's challenging to be prepared for large costs that only hit once a decade. Supporting children as they get older. Sometimes this is by choice, but sometimes it feels necessary! Could range from continued education, helping with grandkids, to paying for the entire family to go on vacation. Divorce… Not something you plan for, but certainly has a huge financial impact for all parties. Lifestyle creep in early retirement. Increased healthcare expenses with age. Especially as you plan for retirement, make sure to build some buffer into your expected income needs!  If you think you may need $15,000 per month for regular expenses, be prepared to need more periodically for the big things that only happen occasionally.  Listen to the full episode to hear more.

Radio has been dying for so long that one might wonder whether anyone has bothered to notify the corpse. The towers still stand. The signals still hum through the air. Millions of people still turn it on every day, often without making a decision to do so. Yet something has changed, and it happened long before the dashboard began filling up with podcasts, satellite channels, and streaming apps.For most of its history, radio possessed an advantage that had little to do with the quality of its programming: scarcity. A listener could choose among whatever stations happened to reach the car, kitchen, or bedside table. Familiarity became habit, habit looked like loyalty, and broadcasters came to believe that the audience belonged to them. Then technology handed that audience the keys to the building.Corporate consolidation is usually cast as the villain in this story, and it certainly deserves a place in the lineup. Local voices disappeared. Playlists and programs were centralized. Experienced personalities became expenses to be trimmed. Dave witnessed that transformation from behind the microphone, where “less Dave, more Sean” passed for strategic wisdom and one of his most popular features was canceled because it was not what corporate radio did.But greed alone did not kill the old order. The deeper change was economic. Listeners gained choices, and those choices became effortless. The station now competes with every podcast, livestream, audiobook, archived program, and specialized voice in the world.This episode asks what is actually dying when we speak of the death of radio. Perhaps it is not the intimate human connection that made the medium powerful. Perhaps it is merely the tower's control over that connection. The radio star did not disappear. He slipped past the gatekeeper, took the audience with him, and found another microphone. #DeathOfRadio #RadioHistory #Podcasting #TalkRadio #Broadcasting #MediaEvolution #DaveBowmanShow

Why are Kigali house prices rising, why is electricity in Rwanda still expensive, and why would an American investor bet millions on Rwanda? In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Sanny Ntayombya sits down with Jonathan Shafer, Managing Director of Fortis Green, to discuss investing in Rwanda and Africa. They explore Kigali's booming real estate market, whether Rwanda is experiencing a property bubble, housing affordability, mortgages and the future of property prices. Jonathan also explains Rwanda's electricity costs, renewable energy, private power generation, and whether the country can produce enough affordable energy to compete for AI infrastructure and data centres. Finally, they discuss foreign investment, the risks of investing in Africa and why Jonathan continues to bet on Rwanda's future.Sponsors:ShieldTech Hub- https://www.shieldtechub.com                                           Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com BasiGo Rwanda- https://www.basi-go.com/rwanda CanalBox-https://www.canalbox.rw Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media

Paul Rieckhoff sounded the alarm on Pete Hegseth before he was confirmed, and everything he warned about is now playing out in real time. The acting secretary of culture war is purging leaders, driving out women and Democrats, extending deployments without honor, and turning the U.S. military into a loyalty test for MAGA. The USS Lincoln has been stranded at sea for nine months. Two more destroyers aren't coming home. Families are being gutted. Recruiting and retention are cratering. And when the Army Chief of Staff wanted to follow protocol on an unauthorized helicopter flyby of Kid Rock's Tennessee estate, he was fired without explanation. In this Media Blitz episode, Paul joins Jacob Soboroff on MS Now for a no-BS breakdown of what Hegseth's culture war is doing to national security from the inside out. He connects the reporting from PRIA and the Washington Post to a bigger structural rot: a military built on trust that no longer trusts its leadership, a chain of command being reshaped around fealty instead of competence, and a generation of service academy graduates so morally alienated they're filing as conscientious objectors. If you care about who gets sent where, why, and whether they come home — this one is for you. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

As inflation, margin pressure and shifting consumer behavior reshape the CPG landscape, private label is having a major moment — and brands need to decide how they'll respond. The hosts unpack why more retailers are embracing private label, how brands can leverage it to strengthen cash flow without undermining their own business, and why saying no to an opportunity could simply hand it to a competitor. Show notes: 0:20: Meetups & Mingling. Honey Mama's Mashups. Private Label, Big Moment. Networking Pays. CPG Wins & Woes. Weird Snacks. – The hosts kick off the episode with some playful banter about Ray's absence before reflecting on Taste Radio's recent Chicago Meetup and previewing upcoming events in San Diego, San Francisco and London. They sample a variety of new Honey Mama's products and discuss how the brand has evolved its product line without losing its core identity. The conversation then turns to the resurgence of private label amid inflation and a K-shaped economy, with Melissa highlighting a recent Nombase podcast focused on how brands can use private label to generate cash flow without diluting their core business. The hosts also make the case for attending industry events, emphasizing that networking can lead to unexpected opportunities and that founders should consistently invest in their networks rather than scrambling to build one when they need it. They spotlight several entrepreneurs and brands, including Goldie Lemonade founder Sean Rosenberg, Plainspeak Water from Sara Brooks, and Bake Me Healthy founder Kimberly Lau, whose decision to wind down her business underscores just how difficult building a successful CPG company can be. Finally, they sample a uniquely Canadian snack called Long Chips, debate whether the bacon flavor is actually bacon, and marvel at the product's unusual format. Brands in this episode: Honey Mama's, Stumptown Coffee, Prana, Goldie Lemonade, GNGR Labs, Plainspeak, Bake Me Healthy, Kodiak Cakes, Long Chips, Pringles

Are you relying too much on single-source carrier vetting platforms, or worse, watching national security take a hit from blatant freight fraud? In this episode, we'll cover the biggest transportation headlines shaking up the freight industry this week! First, we tackle a wild report exposing how millions of dollars in classified military freight from Transcom were awarded to convicted fraudsters running single-truck operations—a massive national security concern that highlights the dangerous dysfunction in current freight fraud prevention and government vetting protocols.  Then, we break down an article on Motive restricting Highway's ELD data access over integration and payment disputes, cutting off real-time visibility for freight brokers and proving exactly why over-relying on a single automated vetting software without building direct, core carrier relationships is a recipe for disaster. Tune in to stay updated!   Resources / References https://www.freightwaves.com/news/motive-restricted-highways-data-access-over-a-payment-demand https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15833550/millions-in-military-freight-awarded-to-convicted-fraudster-huffman-monks-fleets  

Five years after the bombing at Abbey Gate, 13 Gold Star families are still waiting for a real, bipartisan accounting of what happened during the withdrawal from Afghanistan — and of the two decades of war that led to it. Paul Rieckhoff sits down with Connell McShane on News Nation for the weekly Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Wednesday hit and refuses to let the anniversary pass as another partisan food fight. He walks through what he calls the great American betrayal of Afghanistan, the Afghan allies still hung out to dry at home and abroad, and why an honest after-action review matters more than another round of finger-pointing. From there, the conversation pivots to the story the legacy media keeps missing: independents are now the plurality in sixteen states, roughly 48% of the country, while Republicans and Democrats sit at 27% each. Ten thousand Americans leave the two parties every single week. Paul breaks down the new farm team of independent veteran candidates — Todd Achilles up 5 on Jim Risch in Idaho, Seth Bodnar in Montana, competitive races in Nebraska and South Dakota — and explains why a single independent win in November could break the logjam the way Joe Manchin, Angus King, and Jesse Ventura have shown is possible. This is the map of the movement the MAGA machine and the DNC both want you to ignore. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

How many people are pre-diabetic right now and have absolutely no idea? The numbers are staggering, and left unchecked, this subtle condition can eventually cost people their mobility, organs, and even their lives. I'm joined by John Goldman, founder of Rebel Health Alliance, who turned his health crisis at 45 into a mission to help others avoid the same predicament. He walks us through the diagnostics that revealed he was (in his words) a metabolic disaster, and the seven-part philosophy he used to reverse it.  We get into why walking after meals is one of the most underrated tools for blood sugar control, what a continuous glucose monitor can teach you about your body, and why John believes healthcare should involve a coordinated team instead of a single rushed doctor's visit.  We also explore GLP-1 medications, muscle loss, and why so many people are setting themselves up to fail when they misuse these powerful drugs.    "Don't be afraid of the fact that your blood sugar spikes, because it's going to spike whenever you eat anything. You can lower blood sugar by just getting up and moving around." ~ John Goldman   In This Episode: - John's wake-up call at 45  - The Rebel Health Alliance philosophy on longevity  - Why walking is the easiest insulin resistance fix  - The scale of America's pre-diabetes crisis  - How movement helps in building muscle mass - The benefit of an identity-based lifestyle change  - Symptoms of insulin resistance - Health insights from continuous glucose monitors - How alcohol wrecks blood sugar and sleep  - Peptides, muscle loss, and how to do it right - How to connect with John and Rebel Health Alliance   Products & Resources Mentioned: Rebel Health Alliance: Access personalized medical care focused on optimization and longevity, guided by your unique biology and long-term health goals from the elite medical team at https://rebelhealthalliance.io/  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5  Puori Grass-Fed PW1 Whey Protein: Use code WENDY20 to save up to 32% off your order and get a free shaker worth $25 at https://puori.com/wendy20 Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body. Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About John Goldman: When doctors told John Goldman he was fine, he felt anything but. He was tired, overworked, and uninspired by a healthcare system that waits for people to get sick before doing anything about it. So, he decided to rebel. As the Founder & CEO of Rebel Health Alliance, John built a new kind of healthcare company—one designed to make you stronger, sharper, and more resilient right now. And to prove what's possible, he's turning himself into the ultimate case study: transforming from average to elite, aiming to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 18 months or less.
