You need to see this before Wisconsin decides who runs the state. Francesca Hong, the socialist Democrat front-runner for governor, once called for canceling Thanksgiving as a celebration of colonialism and the “original superspreader event.” When CNN asked her straight up if she still believes that, she couldn't just say no. Instead she served up nearly a minute of word salad about being a chef, bringing people to the table, and how Thanksgiving is “incredibly painful for many people in our communities.” Views can evolve, she said — while never actually walking it back. This is the same candidate who has also claimed the service industry is rooted in white supremacy and that tipping itself is racist because it has “kept wages low for black people.” Pat also covered: Trump declares he's done with Iran after the latest attacks. James Talarico tries to prove he's a “real man” after the low-T hits. Nick Shirley on the ground in Ceuta as the migrant invasion hits Spain. Chuck Schumer gets pressed on the DSA's rise inside the Democrat Party. Day 53: Mitch McConnell still missing in action. Does this sound like someone who understands Wisconsin or someone who looks down on it? Have you ever met anyone who genuinely thinks Thanksgiving should be canceled or that tipping is racist?

August 4th 2026 Yuriy reflects on a recurring message from a friend who has served since the first days of the war: “It's a miracle we are still standing.” He recalls his first unit that defended Kyiv in February–March 2022, noting that out of roughly 100 people, by August 2026 only seven or eight would still be serving. About half were killed, many in the first two years; others are missing in action, discharged due to wounds or health, or allowed to leave after losing close family. He recounts a father and 18-year-old son who served together, the son's death in the first summer, and the father carrying his body out before leaving the army. He describes prisoners in harsh Russian camps, some exchanged, others still held, and concludes that almost none of the early volunteers remain in uniform as he marks four and a half years - 10% of his life - in the army.

One of my friends who, like me, has been in the army since the very first days of the war, sends me the same message from time to time, "It's a miracle we are still standing." And it really is a miracle. If someone had thought to take a group photo of my first unit, the one that defended Kiev in February and March of 2022, when out of the roughly 100 people in that picture by August 2026, no more than seven or eight would still be serving. About half of our guys are dead, most of them killed during the first two years of the war. Many others are missing in action. Most likely, they were killed too. Their bodies were simply never found, and as long as there is no body to bury, a person is officially listed as missing. Some were discharged because of their health or after being wounded. A few were allowed to leave the army after losing close family members in the war. In my first unit, a father and his son served together. The father was about my age. The son was 18. He was killed during first summer of the war. His father carried his body back from the front line himself. He trusted no one else to do it. After that, he left the army. I have no idea where he is now. Some of our people were taken prisoner. A few have been exchanged and managed to return to civilian life. Others are still trapped in the inhuman conditions of Russian prison camps that have hardly changed since the days of Stalin's gulag. I've seen men returning from those places. Several of my friends survived Russian captivity. It is the worst thing I can imagine. Thankfully, those who come back have the right to leave the military and try to build a life again. And this is just one unit- my first company. The picture is much the same everywhere else. Of the hundreds of thousands of the volunteers who joined during the first weeks of the invasion, almost none are still in uniform. We are like dinosaurs that somehow escaped extinction while the rest of our species disappeared. I did the math recently and realized I've reached a strange milestone. Almost exactly 10% of my life has now been spent in the army. Four and a half years out of 45. For someone who never imagined linking his life to military service, that's a very long time. For someone who has spent those four and a half years fighting in the bloodiest war since the Second World War, it's far too long.

The Great Product Owner: Communicating Value, Inviting the Right People Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "It's basic Scrum—but it's not basic." - Danil Chernyshev The best Product Owner Danil ever worked with was Jamie Spence, on a Master Data Management re-architecture at Canadian Tire. The goal wasn't only to upgrade a system—it was to rethink how a major retailer with many different banners should work across all of them. Jamie didn't write user stories; the BAs did that. What he did was communicate, in a super-clear way, the value expected at every step. He didn't attend every daily Scrum, but he was there whenever the team wanted him, allocating his time on demand. He cared about user experience and lived for the feedback loop—"this sprint I want to deliver this part and see how it goes." And he invited the proper stakeholders to each sprint review: a small, deliberately varied group chosen by what had been delivered and whose feedback the team actually needed. As Danil and Vasco agree, it sounds obvious—and that's exactly why it's worth celebrating. Obvious and common are not the same thing. Self-reflection Question: Does your Product Owner communicate expected value at every step—or just hand over user stories and disappear? The Bad Product Owner: Present on Paper, Missing in Action Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "On paper, you have a Product Owner. But you don't have a Product Owner." - Danil Chernyshev The most common—and worst—anti-pattern Danil sees is the MIA, or "missing in action," Product Owner: a person with the title who doesn't actually own the product. Sometimes it's a BA or a tech lead wearing the label; sometimes it's someone who simply can't make decisions, or doesn't understand what they're responsible for because they're busy doing another job. The fix starts with clarity: first understand what the product even is, then put in place a Product Owner who makes decisions, owns the end-user experience, and maximizes value. Danil also flags a structural trap—one Product Owner per product, not one per team. He stretches the idea with vivid examples: an Agile coach leading a transformation is effectively the Product Owner of the process, with Scrum Masters as the developers; and Steve Jobs was the Product Owner of the iPhone while also being a customer for other Product Owners building pieces of it. Ownership is about maximizing value for the customer—not about who writes the user stories. In this segment, we refer to the great Product Owner pattern Danil shares above, and how the Scrum Master's job is to help the Product Owner grow into real ownership. Self-reflection Question: Is your Product Owner empowered to make decisions and own outcomes—or just a title on an org chart? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

//The Wire//2300Z July 20, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CENTCOM CONFIRMS FOUR AMERICAN CASUALTIES FOLLOWING IRANIAN STRIKES IN MIDDLE EAST. ARSON ATTACK REPORTED AT FEDERAL BUILDING IN NYC.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Jordan: Over the weekend CENTCOM confirmed the deaths of three US service members, who were killed as a result of the strikes on a barracks building at Muwaffaq al Salti Airbase. Two of the casualties have been identified as 1LT Tyler James Feehan, and Private Isabella Gonzales. The third casualty officially remains classified as Missing in Action as the remains will require DNA analysis to confirm identity, and has not yet been officially identified. A fourth casualty was also reported somewhere in Iraq, which was the result of an Iranian drone strike.Middle East: Following Iranian targeting of the al-Subiya Power Station, Kuwait has begun to rely on portable substations and generators to provide electricity while repairs are made. The scale of the power outages is not known, but Iranian forces have struck several logistical hubs and electrical power plants over the past few days. In Bahrain, Iranian targeting has remained heavy over the weekend, with several ballistic missile strikes reported at American installations around the country.Strait of Hormuz: Several more merchant vessels were struck over the past few days, most of which were tankers attempting to use the southern Omani route instead of the Iranian route. At least one of these vessels resulted in the crew abandoning ship before being rescued.Iran: After these collective strikes over the weekend, American targeting efforts intensified with the latest bombing campaign focusing on the targeting of bridges and civilian roadway tunnels around Bandar Abbas. Many of the roads that lead to the port city are now cut off, with only a few major roadways allowing access to the city. Several bridges have also already been repaired, and the status of others remains unclear until better satellite imagery is available.-HomeFront-New York: This morning an arson attack was reported at the Federal building in downtown Manhattan. One assailant approached the building with a bucket of gasoline, dumping the bucket at the northeast side of the structure. The suspect immediately ignited the pool of gas, which also contained a mix of commercial grade fireworks. The suspect was immediately detained by the plethora of police already on scene, as the accelerant burned on the sidewalk. Analyst Comment: No motive has yet been conveyed regarding this attack, however some of the paraphernalia scattered throughout the scene of the attack appears to be political in nature, opposing ICE.Washington D.C. - This morning, the latest numbers for Strategic Petroleum Reserve levels were released indicating that over the past week, the US has drained the SPR by an additional 5.1 million barrels, to it's lowest level since the Tanker War in 1983.Analyst Comment: Many might have assumed that the US might have re-stocked the SPR during the two-week ceasefire in the Middle East, however very little oil actually made it out of the region during that time, which amounted to only a tiny fraction of US daily usage. Since the war began five months ago, only a very small percentage of oil has exited the region, and the US has been draining the SPR at breakneck pace in order to keep the country going.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Concerning the American casualties sustained over the weekend, it is extremely important to note that the deaths of 1LT Feehan and PVT Gonzales are officially classified under Operation INHERENT RESOLVE (OIR)...not under Operation EPIC FURY (OEFU). Inherent Resolve is the long-standing mission to combat ISIS in Syria, and not in any way linked to the current war in Iran. As a result, the true number of casualties sustained warrants further investigation. This classification could have been an administrative error, but this would also be a way of camouflaging casualty figures. The Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) is the main database for logging all American casualties, which are defined by military operation. In this case, these deaths are not cataloged under either operation yet, adding to the more broad (but also growing) concerns that the database has been concealing the true number of casualties, specifically the numbers of personnel wounded.In fact, while admonishing these concerns as "baseless and malicious accusations" Assistant Secretary of War Sean Parnell directly contradicted the numbers his own department was producing. He stated in an interview with CBS News that roughly 100 personnel had been wounded throughout the war over the past month....while his own database states that a grand total of zero personnel had been wounded for the month of July, and three in June. If this testimony is accurate, this confirms beyond all doubt that the Pentagon is lying about the number of troops wounded during this campaign. Considering that the Pentagon has disclosed a total of 413x soldiers wounded during this entire campaign, ~100x WIA being reported within a month (which also included a two-week ceasefire) is alarming to say the least.The cause of the fatalities reported over the weekend is also important to note as these deaths were very likely preventable. In the days leading up to the ballistic missile striking the housing at this base, the Iranians successfully struck the Patriot battery in Erbil, Iraq. This missile defense site would have been one of the sites providing protection for missiles launched into Jordan. With this battery offline or at least degraded in some way, it is possible that a clear air corridor existed that allowed Iranian ballistic missiles to fly unchallenged through a gap in air defense coverage. If the Erbil strike also damaged the radar array, it is also very possible that the warning time for an incoming ballistic missile would have been reduced, so any defenses at the target base would have been less effective. Obviously, the true scale of the damage to this air defense site would be classified, so in the public eye we have to guess as to how bad it was based on blurry satellite imagery. However the military commanders who knew the systems and did NOT have to guess, were also the same commanders who had the authority to either issue warnings or orders to disperse from the unprotected Containerized Housing Units (CHUs) that were struck by Iran. The failure of command to disperse their soldiers is what led to these fatalities.The very minute that the Patriot battery was struck in Erbil was a major clue that the Iranians were conducting shaping fires of their own...they were striking the air defense sites so as to open up a gap in air defense coverage, and reach out to American positions with their larger ballistic missiles.Though it is usually in poor taste to reflect on failures in the immediate aftermath of the death of troops, in the interest of expediency sometimes uncomfortable conversations must be had in order to prevent further loss of life. If a gap in air defense coverage is what allowed this strike to happen, it is almost certain that this gap still exists and that the danger to American service members is still not mitigated. For ALL American troops in the Middle East, this observation must be noted: If the Iranians are striking air defense sites, the next assumption must be that the Iranians are planning to strike something that would have been protected by that site. In retrospect this is common sense, but even at this very moment, the continued strikes on American positions (and the nearly total lack of fortification efforts at these bases, even to this day) continues to indicate that the Iranian targeting efforts are not being taken seriously by senior American decision makers. Five months into this war, CENTCOM leadership has still not figured out that the Iranians can strike their bases at will, and as demonstrated by the strikes in Kuwait and Jordan, the US is still not digging in, and also not dispersing enough to avoid troops getting killed. No underground fortification efforts have been undertaken at any base in the Middle East, and satellite imagery indicates that no substantial fortifications have been undertaken either. Granting as much leeway to the Pentagon's decision making process as possible, it is possible that no hardening of defenses would have mattered considering the missiles Iran is launching. Drone defense is one thing, but it would take years to build a bunker that would withstand the impact of an Iranian Fattah or Ghadr missile. Nevertheless, when it comes to defending American positions, doing something is better than doing nothing, and concrete does not take half a year to dry.Even if large-scale construction projects are off the menu, ALL military publications, textbooks, and training scenarios dictate and demand what has been obvious since World War One...Dispersion is the name of the game. This is what kept casualties to a minimum in Bahrain, but different theater commanders have different personal initiatives. Some are more proactive with their defense, and others have done nothing at all, besides making sure that all of the vehicles in the motorpool are lined up neatly.Where this goes from here is anyone's guess, but unless radical and immediate changes are made, the United States will continue to suffer casualties. And as long as the bombing continues which is motivating Iran to target our bases, this indirectly highlights the deficiencies with American air defense technologies, not just for this war, but for the wars to come.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be72
Police identified the suspect who ignited fireworks and started a fire outside a federal building in Manhattan as 43-year-old Andrew Arrabaca. Authorities said the anti-ICE activist was armed with two axes, a machete, three knives, fireworks and other destructive devices. Dangerous weather is impacting communities across the U.S., from tropical flooding threats along Florida's Gulf Coast to deadly flash floods in Utah and severe storms across the Northeast. Nearly 100 U.S. service members have been injured in multiple Iranian airstrikes on bases across the Middle East this month, U.S. officials told CBS News. As the U.S. launches a 10th straight night of strikes on Iran, two U.S. soldiers were killed over the weekend in Jordan and another remains missing in action.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki returns to Hearts of Oak to explore core Jewish theological concepts and key differences with Christianity. He explains the covenant and the law as the means by which Israel lives out God's will as a “kingdom of priests,” the essential role of rabbinic interpretation in applying biblical commandments across time, and the balance between fixed, collective Jewish liturgy and personal prayer. Rabbi Wolicki contrasts Judaism's primary emphasis on national redemption with Christianity's focus on individual salvation and the afterlife, reflects on insights gained from Christian engagement, and discusses the enduring covenant through exile and the prophetic significance of the Jewish return to the land in modern Israel. Rabbi Pesach Wolicki is an Orthodox rabbi, author, and Executive Director of Israel 365 Action. Born in the United States and raised in Canada as the son of a rabbi, he moved to Israel in the early 1990s. He began his public work advocating for families of Israeli soldiers missing in action from conflicts in Lebanon and has since become a leading voice in Jewish-Christian relations. A former synagogue rabbi and dean of a yeshiva, he now lectures widely at Christian institutions and co-hosts the Shoulder to Shoulder podcast with Pastor Doug Reed. Connect with Pesach...
In this solo episode of the Man-Up Adventure Podcast, host Terry Gwaltney delivers a raw and unfiltered challenge to every man who has gone missing — not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. Drawing from sobering statistics, Scripture, and real-life patterns, Terry breaks down exactly what it looks like when a man goes MIA, why it happens, and what it costs the people who are left waiting. From the passively comfortable man glued to his screen, to the spiritually AWOL man who handed off every spiritual responsibility to his wife, Terry names it all — and refuses to let men stay comfortable in a place that is quietly destroying them. But this episode isn't just a gut punch. It's a road map back. Rooted in the stories of Adam, Jonah, and the Prodigal Son, Terry makes the case that God has never written off a missing man — and He's not about to start with you. If you know you've been checked out, this episode is your wake-up call.Main Quote:"Absence is not neutral. Your checking out is not harmless coasting. It's active damage. It just has a time delay on when it really shows up."

Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. We go around the horn without Shawn who is mysteriously missing in action. Dan shares the experience of his son's 8th grade graduation and moving on to high school. Corey gets concert redemption from Dave when he went to see Noah Kahan a few days ago. Greg shares the trials and tribulations of Chinese buffets and the high scores of kid pitch baseball for a young age group. The boys also briefly touch on the UFC showdown at the White House that was happening as recording was going on. In the recovery segment, we look beyond the first 30 days and into that crucial first year. We talk about growing up, learning life skills, finding purpose, staying active in recovery, and resisting the temptation to think we've got it all figured out. From day labor to early sobriety jobs we thought we'd never make it out of. Halfway house memories. We look back on these times as simple and straightforward. We realize that the weight of addiction was being lifted right before our eyes so long as we stayed on the simple path that was being laid out in front of us. “I'm grateful my alcoholism was severe.” Steve-ODon't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

This week was a little lighter on the host count, as Devon was trapped in the endless gravitational pull of legal work, but Ben and Steven still managed to cover everything from adopted kittens to the future of humanity in space. Real Life Ben started things off with an apology for being a little checked out during the last episode. He was physically present, but mentally running on fumes. Fortunately, life is looking up. The foster kittens are beginning to find homes, which is both exciting and bittersweet. He also took a moment to congratulate all the recent graduates out there before diving into family TV time. The household continues its journey through Star City, and after episode two, Nicole is already predicting where the story is headed. While the series has proven compelling, some mature content, light torture, and strong language have made it a slightly awkward fit for younger viewers. Devon wasn't able to join us this week thanks to an overwhelming amount of lawyering. We assume he is somewhere buried beneath paperwork and legal precedent, emerging only occasionally for coffee. Steven reminisced about a Disney trip he took with Ben years ago before jumping into a discussion of the For All Mankind season finale and what season six might bring. We unpack the strengths and weaknesses of the latest season, revisit the complicated Baldwin and Stevens family connections, and discuss why the Stevens kid is definitely not the mysterious Mars Peacekeeper. The conversation also explores the implications of the show's latest time jump and what it could mean for the future of the series. Steven also finished Gravity Falls with his kids, watching the final five episodes of season two in a single marathon session. Even when the show edged close to becoming a little too intense for younger audiences, it always managed to pull back and deliver an emotional, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful conclusion. Years after it first aired, it remains one of the best family animated series ever produced. Future or Now Ben kicked off the science segment with an ongoing issue aboard the International Space Station. Astronauts were temporarily instructed to shelter while engineers continued monitoring a long-running air leak in the Russian section of the station. The culprit is a small connecting tunnel that has developed microscopic structural cracks over time. Despite years of repairs and investigation, the leak remains one of the ISS's most persistent engineering headaches. The story naturally led into a broader discussion about the future of orbital habitats, including new commercial space stations currently under development and what might eventually replace the aging ISS. Steven brought a much more optimistic story to the table. Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a new perovskite-based catalyst that dramatically lowers the temperature required to produce hydrogen from water. The breakthrough could allow industrial facilities to use waste heat that would otherwise be discarded, turning it into a valuable source of clean hydrogen fuel. If the technology scales successfully, it could reduce production costs, improve efficiency, and help make hydrogen a more practical energy source for industries ranging from steel manufacturing to renewable power generation. It's the kind of breakthrough that could quietly reshape entire sectors without most people realizing it until years later. From leaky space stations to cleaner energy, adopted kittens to animated mysteries, this week's episode covers a surprisingly wide range of topics—even with one host missing in action.
Well, we thought we were getting back to full strength, but the podcast curse strikes again! This week, Tash is missing in action lol, but the show must go on! Becky is back behind the mic to join Emma, which means we still have two absolutely wild stories lined up to keep you up at night.First up, Becky takes us to August 2003, when a silent, invisible monster crept across France. What started as a beautiful summer turned into the deadliest weather event in European history—the infamous 2003 Heat Wave (La Canicule). This wasn't just a couple of sweaty days; it was an unprecedented catastrophe that caught the nation entirely off guard, overwhelming hospitals, breaking temperature records, and claiming over 14,000 lives in France alone. Becky dives into the dark, heartbreaking reality of what happens when the climate turns deadly, institutions fail, and the weather itself becomes a serial killer.Then, Emma takes the reins for Part Two of The Dagg Demon—and no, we aren't at the end just yet, that's coming next week! This week, the plot thickens as we finally meet the man, the myth, the legend: Percy Woodcock. As a local investigator and a man of faith, Percy steps right into the middle of the 1889 Quebec farmhouse chaos to figure out if they are dealing with a massive hoax or a genuine, terrifying entity. Emma breaks down exactly what happened when Percy tried to communicate with the voice, and the chilling answers he got back.
Pav and Calum are back, and they are talking about some of the most confusing updates in the market. With Ted still missing in action, the boys are left in the studio to figure out why on earth Bitcoin is taking a dive while certain altcoins are absolutely throwing a party. In this episode, we are tackling the total shocker coming out of the Stellar Lumens camp, with XLM casually exploding 65% in just seven days on the back of institutional real-world asset hype. We are also unpacking an absolutely wild court case in the US where someone is trying to lay a legal claim to 3.8 million dormant Bitcoin, essentially trying to use old lost-and-found property laws to seize $85 billion worth of Satoshi's stash. Calum explains why traditional crypto ETFs are looking pretty weak right now, even though Hyperliquid and AI tokens completely ignore the gravity of the market and continue to pull vertical runs. Plus, Pav drops some essential, no-nonsense advice on how to actually invest and keep your head straight when the charts look completely chaotic. You'll hear: ~ How XLM just woke up from a multi-year nap to post a massive 65% green candle ~ The $85 Billion Satoshi Lawsuit ~ Traditional fund flows are slowing down while decentralized protocols and AI treasuries are getting greedy ~ The AI infrastructure: Boom or Burst? ~ Pav's Survival Guide on how to position your portfolio and manage your emotions … and much more!

On this solemn Memorial Day, we remember the thousands of American heroes who still lie unknown — some beneath the white crosses of our national cemeteries, others still lost on the battlefields of the past, like Brigadier General Guy O. Fort.In 1935, General Fort stood at Camp Keithley cemetery in Marawi and delivered a heartfelt Memorial Day address, pleading for the identification of fallen soldiers whose records were lost and whose names had been forgotten. Just seven years later, he and three fellow officers — Lt. Col. Robert H. Vesey, Capt. Albert H. Price, and 1st Sgt. John L. Chandler — were executed by Japanese forces at that very same place. All four remain Missing in Action, buried in shallow, unmarked graves.Today, the Asymmetric MIA Accounting Group (AMAG) is leading an independent, self-funded mission in Mindanao to locate General Fort and the Keithley Three so they can finally receive their names and the honorable burial they earned.This powerful episode explores Fort's own words — “He was a soldier” — the heartbreaking irony of his fate, and the revolutionary promise of Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG). We highlight how private labs, like Bode Technology, are already identifying WWII remains — such as those of Arthur H. Kelder from the Cabanatuan POW camp — in just months, even from old formaldehyde-treated bones.As Fort himself once pleaded for the unknown, his voice still calls us home. It's time for the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) and AFDIL to fully embrace DNA-first, FIGG-led methods so no more families wait generations to know their loved one's final resting place.He was a soldier.And no American soldier — or family — should have to wait any longer. ⏳ It's About Time

One of the riskiest air raids of World War II occurred on August 1, 1943, over the oil fields at Ploesti, Romania--Nazi Germany's primary fuel source. The Allies believed that the destruction of Hitler's oil refineries would shorten the war. Using an untested strategy, it was worth the gamble, but the mission did not go according to plan--with 53 aircraft and 532 crewmen lost, it was the costliest US air raid of the war. A true story, The Navigator's Letter is a tale of uncanny coincidences: two friends from the same small Illinois town; both joined the Air Corps; both became navigators; both were assigned to B-24 Liberators; both flew missions over Europe; both of their planes were forced down over Ploesti; and both went missing-in-action. Intertwined with events of WWII, the story follows the two B-24 navigators coursing through wartime, both with ties to the same woman. Their lives unfurl with the Air Force's darkest day, Operation Tidal Wave. It was the first-ever zero-altitude air raid followed by multiple high-altitude raids culminating in Operation Reunion, the largest evacuation by air in history with the Tuskegee Airmen of the 332nd Fighter Group flying escort repatriating 1,162 POWs from Romania back to American air bases in Italy.

Join us for a special episode of Roundhouse Roulette as we come together at CD's Bar & Grill to celebrate the life, legacy, and legend of Chuck Norris. In the wake of his passing at age 86, we take time to reflect on the man who shaped not only Walker, Texas Ranger, but our podcast—and, in many ways, our lives. We revisit Chuck's incredible journey—from a shy kid in Oklahoma to Air Force serviceman, world karate champion, and ultimately one of the most iconic action stars of all time. Along the way, we dig into his film career (Delta Force, Missing in Action, Lone Wolf McQuade) and the wild, genre-defying brilliance of Walker, Texas Ranger—a show that gave us everything from roundhouse kicks to aliens, Nazis, and jetpacks. We share tributes from fans, castmates, and fellow action legends, revisit classic clips, and, of course, break down some all-time “vehicular transference” moments. We also reflect on Chuck's deeper impact—his humility, his philosophy, and his work with programs like Kickstart Kids that continue to help young people find direction and strength. From personal stories (including Adam's unforgettable encounter with Chuck himself) to the enduring absurdity and joy of Chuck Norris jokes, this episode honors the larger-than-life legacy of Chuck Norris. At the end of the day, we're celebrating more than a TV star—we're honoring a true original whose legacy will live on in every roundhouse kick, every outlandish plotline, and every fan he brought together. Roundhouse Nation, join us as we pay tribute to Chuck—and keep beaming his legend out into the universe.

There were a lot of dramatic images from the military action known as Operation Iraqi Freedom - but I think few were more dramatic than the middle-of-the-night rescue of a prisoner of war, Jessica Lynch. If you were around at the time, you probably remember it. As Coalition forces advanced quickly from the Kuwaiti border to the capital of Baghdad, Pfc. Lynch's unit of Army maintenance troops made a wrong turn, ended up in the middle of an enemy ambush, and no one knew Jessie Lynch's fate. She was listed as missing in action. But acting on the tip of Iraqi sympathizers, a Special Operations Force fought their way into the hospital where she was imprisoned, found her, and quickly carried her to a waiting helicopter. And then, they had to fight their way out, too. But Private Lynch was safe - saved by rescuers who risked it all to bring her out. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Day You're Rescued." I'll never begin to know what it must have been like to be a prisoner of someone like Saddam Hussein's brutal regime. But I do know a little bit about how it feels to be rescued from a situation that I couldn't get out of, that otherwise would have been fatal. I know what it is to be rescued by someone who risked it all - actually, who gave it all, to bring me out. It's a life-saving experience shared by millions of people over 2,000 years. It's a rescue that can happen to you. This rescue was planned in heaven and executed by no one less than the very Son of God, Jesus Christ. It's described by God Himself in Colossians 1:13-14, our word for today from the Word of God. It says of God that "He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." We don't realize it, but we are in as deadly a situation as that rescued POW was in - actually a lot more deadly, because without a rescue we will be imprisoned forever in an awful place the Bible calls hell. That's where the death penalty is carried out for a human being who has run their own life instead of letting their Creator run it. Who has dared to say, "God, you run the universe. I'll run me." Which, according to the Bible, describes all of us, no matter how religious we might be, and no matter what religion we're from. We're sinners. We are unable to get ourselves out of our own dark side, we're unable to get ourselves out of the penalty for our sin. We are trapped in what the Bible calls "the dominion of darkness." But Jesus came, fighting his way to rescue us. Dying on a cross to pay the penalty we deserve, so we could have (as the Bible says) "the forgiveness of sins" instead of the punishment for our sins. No religion can get you out - only a rescue can. And only Jesus did what had to be done to rescue you. This very day - maybe through these very words - He is breaking into your life, offering to be your personal Rescuer from your personal sin and its eternal penalty. If you'll grab Jesus by His hand and just say, "Jesus, You're my only hope. You paid for my sins when you died on the cross. You proved you're alive by walking out of your grave. I want you to walk into my life today. Beginning today, I am Yours, Jesus." Don't you want to know that you're right with God? Don't you want to know that eternity is settled? If you want to know you belong to this Rescuer that loves you more than anyone ever could, let this be the day you give yourself to Him. Let this be the day that you check out a website that is all for you at a moment like this. It is literally designed for this crossroads moment in a person's life - ANewStory.com. I invite you, I urge you, I encourage you to go there as soon as you can. Jesus paid the ultimate price; made the ultimate sacrifice to bring you out. The strong hand of your Redeemer; I wish you could actually see it. He's reaching for you right now. Please - grab Him now.

No one wants to do Major Serhiy Laziuk's job. He travels from house to house in Lviv, western Ukraine, bringing families news of their loved ones at the front who are killed or missing in action. ‘I tell them I have a sealed letter, that I must deliver by hand,' he says. Then he arrives at the door to break the news. Serhiy has delivered hundreds of notifications, often three or four a day. Small wonder that Ukraine is in a military recruitment crisis, with many men of fighting age asking for exceptions, or hiding in their houses. ‘Mykola' hasn't been outside for a year and a half for fear of the draft. He and his wife sent their teenage son out of Ukraine in 2022 at the start of the full scale invasion. Of course they want Ukraine to win the war, they say. But the price of sacrificing father or son is too high. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.
