One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Russia, triggering tsunami waves that reached Japan, Hawaii, and the US West Coast. Wednesday's earthquake occurred along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” a series of seismic faults surrounding the Pacific Ocean, where most of the world's earthquakes take place. This significant tremor may have been caused by a planetary realignment, an attempt to correct the wobble and the magnetic glitch we experienced earlier this month. Another is expected on August 5th. The Earth again reminds us that we live on a violent planet as Mother Nature shows her fury from time to time.

In this no-holds-barred episode of Chakras & Cusswords, we're looking at the astrology of August 2025, while also processing the chaotic, heavy, and revealing energy of July.We start by honoring Ozzy Osbourne — a true rock god whose passing shook the collective spirit. We reflect on the legacy he left and how it mirrors our own relationship with grief and nostalgia. Malcolm Jordan's death also reminded us how real and sudden loss can feel. As for Hulk Hogan? Let's just say not every death deserves canonization. Some flames burn out exactly how they should. Rest is earned — not automatic.We also get into July's hot topics: the cheating CEO scandal, Canelo boldly rejecting a Tesla sponsorship, and the internet's obsession with North West "growing up too fast." Plus, the wild Texas floods and why Mother Nature isn't here to play with us anymore.And on a personal note, I open up about losing my grandmother at 13, and why it's so necessary to have raw conversations around death, final wishes, and emotional closure. Too many people avoid the subject — but silence won't save us from the inevitable.We'll also talk about real men who provide — like Gucci Mane. Because financial support is spiritual support when it's done with love, power, and respect.

The 36th Annual Jook George Memorial Steel City Classic became one of the most unforgettable shows in event history. Mother Nature gave just enough grace for the track to almost pack in a full night of action: drivers from five states, qualifying, five heat races, a six-lap dash, two B-Mains, and four features, one of which was postponed for another day. Christian Schneider from Pittsburgh, picked the perfect time to strike. When the field bunched up early in the main, Schneider pounced. He took the lead and never looked back, holding off every challenge for green-flag laps. When the checkers waved, Schneider had claimed the biggest win of his career, and he did it in front of a hometown crowd on one of the biggest nights of the season. Before the skies closed in, the story behind the night's biggest win started long before the green. Thirty-nine Late Models entered the pits, all with eyes on the $6,010 payday and a spot in Steel City history. Special thanks to Brandon Lochwich for all his hard work putting the race together. Brandon Burgoon set the tone early with a 19.594 in qualifying to earn Fast Time. Guests for today's show includes announcer Brian Spade, Schneider, Joe Martin and Wonderling High Limit runner up at Lernerville Sye Lynch, Sprint Car Driver Brandon Spithaler and Late Model Driver Brandon Burgoon.

(00:01) Preparing for a Golf Scramble This chapter takes us to the cool climes of Flagstaff, Arizona, where top 100 teacher Jeff Smith is enjoying teaching golf at 7,000 feet. We discuss the surprising weather contrasts in Arizona and how Flagstaff provides a refuge from the blistering heat found in places like Phoenix. I share my excitement about participating in an upcoming golf scramble in Huntsville, Alabama, organized to support a high school football team and hosted by former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Sammy Coates. The event is set to take place at the Redstone Arsenal military golf course, known for its impeccable condition. Reflecting on past interviews with athletes like Phil Simms, I contemplate my role in the scramble, suspecting I might serve as the comedic relief among former professional athletes. Jeff offers practical advice for preparation, emphasizing the importance of stretching to ensure a fluid swing during the game. (11:09) Navigating a Golf Scramble Challenge This chapter takes you through a lively discussion about golf techniques, specifically focusing on green reading and playing in scrambles. I share advice on improving short game and putting, particularly emphasizing the importance of feeling the slope of the green rather than relying solely on visual cues. As I prepare to play in a golf scramble in Huntsville, Alabama, I explore how athletes transitioning to golf often face unique challenges, despite their physical prowess. Through a humorous recounting of experiences with former professional athletes like Howard Kendrick, we highlight the common misconception that athleticism directly translates to golfing skill. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding club face angles and precision, as even slight misalignments can lead to significant directional errors in powerful swings. (27:59) Classification of Game, Sport, Athletic Endeavor This chapter explores the intriguing question of what distinguishes an athletic endeavor from a sport, using golf as a focal point. We ponder whether the lack of direct defense in golf, compared to traditional sports, influences its classification as a sport or a game. The conversation touches on the role of Mother Nature as a formidable opponent in golf, with weather and terrain acting as natural defenses. We also discuss how drinking beer while playing could affect perceptions of what constitutes a sport, considering activities like bowling and golf. The episode reflects on memorable moments from the Open Championship, including a remarkable shot from the rough and the unique challenges posed by nature, and muses on whether these elements make golf a sport or simply a challenging game.

Every 30 seconds, another American home gets hit with water damage. Every single time, insurance companies face the same painful choice: pay $30,000-$50,000 for a complete kitchen renovation or... well, there was no "or" until now. Host Sam Schweitzer and franchise veteran Storm Miller expose how Renew Medic discovered a billion-dollar blind spot in the restoration industry. While everyone else was focused on tear-downs and rebuilds, they cracked the code on saving damaged kitchen cabinets for a fraction of the cost. This isn't just another franchise story. It's a masterclass in finding massive opportunities hiding in plain sight, where Mother Nature creates the demand and insurance companies are legally required to pay.

What happens when companies prioritize lower cost, non-citizen workers to fill jobs previously held by American citizens? This has happened to millions of American workers in many segments of our labor force, including highly skilled STEM workers. Our complicated visa system allows for loopholes that put hard-working citizens at risk, which impacts our culture, economy, communities, and families across the nation. The H1-B visa is most discussed, but many visa types are being misused to circumvent fair wage and employment practices.

Send us a textJuly 4th brought horrific floods, fires, and loss throughout the United States. Flags in Texas and neighborhoods across the south have been flying at half mast honoring lives that were suddenly taken from us. Devastating events across the globe continue to challenge us to reconnect with our hearts and honor life above all things. Floods can symbolize overpowering emotions, or the repressed unconscious forcing itself to the surface for purification. While fires often symbolize impermanence, spiritual cleansing, destruction, and transformation. This episode explores how loss, chronicles a path of human amnesia for prioritizing love, safety, and life on our planet. Could these events be Mother Nature's Wake Up Calls?My intuition suggests they are warning signs. Signaling we are on the precipice of a huge awakening that will change the way we perceive our world and our role in it. It's time to question the way we're living, our priorities, responsibilities, and be accountable for what we've created.Music by Robin MillerIn The Company of AngelsSongs:  Oceans of Love  & Lullaby to Lois   www.robinmillermusic.comSponsor:Native Jewelry of SedonaLargest selection of authentic Native American jewelry in Arizonanativejewelrygallery.comFacebook: Native Jewelry of SedonaLocated in the second block of Uptown SedonaThe Copper Heart Art for Heart SenseArtist Catherine StefanavageWebsite:  iamcatherine.comEmail: iamcatherine16@gmail.comA huge Thank You to all our Sponsors!

In this sermon by Pastor Chris Romig, the focus is on the events described in Revelation 6 and what the Bible teaches about end times and God's final judgment. Romig explains that while many Christians assume heaven is their eternal home, Scripture actually points to believers returning with Jesus to a restored earth. Until that final day, natural disasters serve as reminders and previews of the coming judgment during the Great Tribulation. Romig unpacks the dramatic imagery in Revelation; earthquakes, darkened skies, falling stars. He argues these can happen literally, drawing on both biblical examples and scientific explanation. He cautions against dismissing these as merely symbolic, emphasizing instead that such prophecies appear throughout Scripture and were spoken of by prophets and Jesus Himself. He addresses how, during the Tribulation, people will respond with terror but refuse to repent, turning instead to false hopes like “Mother Nature” rather than the Creator. Despite widespread fear, Romig encourages believers not to question their security in Christ. Sharing a pastoral message from John MacArthur, he reminds listeners that genuine assurance comes not from perfect obedience, but from a sincere desire to know and love God. Chris concludes by inviting anyone feeling a genuine desire for Christ to receive Him without delay, assuring all who hope in Jesus that they will stand secure, even amid judgment, because of God's unfailing love and grace.

I like to call this the "weather roulette" day!Now, let's talk about our Weather Playbook segment! Today, we're exploring the fascinating world of thunderstorm formation. Thunderstorms are like nature's dramatic performance artists. They need three key ingredients: moisture, unstable air, and a lifting mechanism. When warm, moist air rises rapidly and cools, it creates those towering cumulonimbus clouds that make thunderstorms so spectacular. It's basically atmospheric drama at its finest!For our three-day forecast: Monday looks sunny and pleasant with a high near 81 degrees Fahrenheit. Tuesday continues the sunny trend with a high of 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

Awaken Beauty Podcast

Beloved,For too long, many of us have lived under the shadow of what I call "the matrix"—a system engineered to make us feel a profound scarcity of power. It tells us our biggest dreams are just pipe dreams, too massive to grasp. Perhaps you've even had those daunting thoughts: What if I succeed so much I lose control? What if I outgrow everyone I know? Let me be clear: these aren't limitations. They are powerful invitations beckoning you to step fully into your authentic power. The real truth is transformative: your dreams aren't too big.They are simply calling for an expansion of your current capacity, and this isn't a deficiency. It's an unparalleled opportunity. You, in your deepest essence—your consciousness and awareness—are already aligned with the infinite power of Mother Nature, God, the universe itself. You know what you're effortlessly capable of today, but when you measure your dream against who you are right now, you're measuring against your current limits.Imagine walking into a gym and seeing a 350 pound weight.You don't just stare at it and say, can I lift that now and then walk away when the answer's no?That's what most people do with their dreams.They see the gap and give up.But you, you're different.You start small, five pounds, 10 pounds, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60.Day by day you get stronger.The weights don't get lighter, you get stronger, and here's the magic.One day, you're not just lifting that 350 pound weight, you're lifting a piano, you're holding the door open in a hurricane, you're pulling someone out of a sinkhole.That strength you built, it's not just for one goal, it's a transferable skill.When you work on yourself, you don't just solve one problem, you rise to a whole new level of capacity.You become wiser, stronger, more capable.Not just for one challenge, but for life.This isn't whack-a-mole one problem, one solution.It's about becoming a person whose frequency is bigger than the problem.Let's talk about that frequency for a second.Your energetic match, your mindset, your confidence, your skills.It's what aligns you with your dreams.Think of a newborn baby from day one to age one.They're in hyper growth mode.They don't know what risk means.They're grabbing, eating, trying to walk, talk, doing whatever it takes to grow.That's exponential change.Now, compared that to a typical 45-year-old from 45 to 46, their growth curve pretty flat.Why?Because most people need a reason to grow, but not you.If you are here, you're a maverick, you feel that itch for the next level, more clients.A business milestone, a vision that lights you up.That's not normal.That's extraordinary.Even a fear, doubt or identity issues bury that maverick spark under a pile of rubble.It's still there dreaming, desiring waiting.So how do you break free from just wanting your dream to having it?You become the person who can hold it.You raise your frequency, you build your strength step by step.And here's the kicker.Your growth isn't linear.It's compounded every small win.Every five pound weight, you lift builds on the left.By the time you achieve your dream, you're not just a slightly better version of yourself.You're a transformed version capable of things you can't even imagine today.Let me leave you with this.Your maverick identity is your superpower.It's the part of you that dares to dream bigger.To grow faster, to rise higher.Don't let the size of your dream scare you.Start where you are.Lift the five pound weight today.Trust that every step is building a strength that will carry you far beyond that 350 pound goal.You're not just chasing a dream, you're becoming the person who can live it.So go out there, embrace the journey, and unleash your maverick potential.Pause.Smile and nod.The world is waiting.Love you!

This week on the Mark Levin Show, there's a fake MAGA faction within conservatism that harbors dangerous ideologies, including affinities for Hitler sympathizers and antisemitic rhetoric. Darryl Cooper promotes revisionist history, such as portraying Churchill as a villain and Hitler as misunderstood. Later, the big, beautiful bill is not perfect, but it's pretty good. Republicans didn't have enough votes to cut anymore. Democrats are trying to tell you there are Medicaid cuts. No, it's cutting off people who shouldn't be getting Medicaid. The Texas flood has caused immense heartbreak, with over 100 dead and more than 160 missing. Among the tragic stories are two young sisters, aged 13 and 11, found drowned but holding hands. Mother Nature can be a monster. Also, President Trump has had enough of Putin. Putin is a genocidal maniac responsible for slaughtering Ukrainian civilians, but there are some in Fake MAGA who root for Russia. Lower federal courts are ignoring Supreme Court rulings, with judges defying the Constitution and law on immigration. In LA, a judge rules that ICE roundups are racist, alleging indiscriminate arrests of brown-skinned people at Home Depots, car washes, farms, etc., due to ethnicity and a 3,000-daily quota. In addition, in New Hampshire, a judge upholds birthright citizenship via national injunction, citing long-standing practice over constitutional analysis. The media ignore this, while actions persist. The judges have changed, not the Constitution. Also, President Trump has made enormous progress domestically and internationally, but institutions are being turned against Americans. Democrats will inevitably win elections and use the permanent government, courts, and administrative state to try to permanently embed their ideology, making it irreversible.

Tamara White always has one eye on the skies. Whether she's getting her sheep ready for shearing, welcoming visitors to classes and events on the farm, or watching over the yarn in kettles of natural dye, there isn't a moment when the weather isn't on her mind. Although rain and heat make hard work of tending a flock of 100+ sheep plus calves, chickens, and other livestock, Tammy sees her work as a collaboration with Mother Nature. Most yarn production farms consist of hundreds of animals of a single breed, enough to produce consistent batches of single-breed yarn. Tammy's way is more difficult, but more fun. In addition to her original small group of Shetlands, she has an evolving mix of breeds: sometimes Clun Forest, sometimes Teeswater, and most recently Valais Blacknose, a recent Swiss import dubbed the “world's cutest sheep.” Wing & A Prayer Farm's yarn line includes a number of fiber blends, not only to incorporate the farm's different wools but also to bring the best traits of various breeds together. Creating yarns this way also invites collaboration with other shepherds and a number of small mills to whom she trusts her batch of wool. The collaboration with nature continues in dyeing the yarn. A self-taught dyer, Tammy creates as many colors as she can with plants that she can grow in her garden or forage on her property. To support her farm and community, Tammy takes on a wide range of other projects: making soap and pies, selling eggs, hosting classes, and selling breeding stock to other shepherds. It's an enormous amount of work, but Tammy talks about her farm with such joy that it hardly sounds like a chore.

SHOW NOTES: This hour, we're focusing on eco-friendly home improvements and design tips to help your money pit and Mother Nature, especially as we've just experienced a significant heatwave across the US. We're exploring how to save some green while going green this summer, with easy, affordable projects that can shrink your energy bills, cut back on waste, and help the planet. Here's a look at the topics and calls we'll cover: - Attic Upgrades: Your attic can either work for you or against you in the summer. We're sharing smart attic upgrades to keep your home cooler, cut energy costs, and protect your home from summer's worst side effects. - Strategic Landscaping for Cooling: You can cool your home without touching the thermostat by letting nature do the work. We discuss how strategic landscaping, such as planting shade trees, can naturally reduce heat and energy bills while giving your yard a green upgrade. - Eco-Friendly Design and DIY Projects: We're all about eco-friendly home upgrades that benefit both the planet and your wallet.   Q & A: - Mike from Alaska called in with a question about an upstairs window that leaks when it rains, noting drips from the soffits. We discussed potential causes, including backed-up gutters, failed sealant, or improper flashing. - Susan from California asked about options for her 38-year-old asphalt driveway that needs to be redone, but she doesn't want to resurface with blacktop. - Mark has a beautiful log cabin home that hasn't been stained in 8 years and is fading. We advise him on the process of cleaning the raw lumber, letting it dry, and then choosing a stain that includes UV protection. - Ed is dealing with a serious issue with his 1880s Victorian home's brick foundation, where the bottom layer of bricks is starting to bow out. For such a critical structural concern, we strongly recommend consulting a structural engineer to diagnose the problem. - Darlene from Texas has a flagstone patio with uneven stones and nothing between the cracks. - Carl from Massachusetts emailed us about a foul odor coming from his newly installed dishwasher. This is often due to bio-gas buildup, and we have tips on how to clean those trouble spots.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question? We'd love to help!

As Peter Leyden points out, it seems we're facing another defining era as society wrestles with three new key technologies: artificial intelligence, clean energy, and bioengineering.Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I chat with Leyden about American leadership in emerging technology and the mindset shifts we must undergo to bring about the future we dream of.Leyden is a futurist and technology expert. He is a speaker, author, and founder of Reinvent Futures. Thirty years ago, he worked with the founders of WIRED magazine, and now authors his latest book project via Substack: The Great Progression: 2025 to 2050.In This Episode* Eras of transformation (1:38)* American risk tolerance (11:15)* Facing AI pessimism (15:38)* The bioengineering breakthrough (24:24)* Demographic pressure (28:52)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. Eras of transformation (1:38)I think we Americans tend to reset the clock in which we get in these dead ends, we get in these old patterns, these old systems, and the things are all falling apart, it's not working. And then there is a kind of a can-do reinvention phase . . .Pethokoukis: Since World War II, as I see it, we have twice been on the verge of a transformational leap forward, economically and technologically. I would say that was right around 1970 and then right around 2000, and the periods of time after that, I think, certainly relative to the expectations then, was disappointing.It is my hope, and I know it's your hope as well, that we are at another such moment of transformation. One, do you accept my general premise, and two, why are we going to get it right this time?If I'm hearing you right, you're kind of making two junctures there. I do believe we're in the beginning of what would be much more thought of as a transformation. I would say the most direct parallel is closer to what happened coming off of World War II. I also think, if you really go back in American history, it's what came off of Civil War and even came off of the Founding Era. I think there's a lot of parallels there I can go into, I've written about in my Substack and it's part of the next book I'm writing, so there's a bigger way that I think about it. I think both those times that you're referring to, it seems to me we were coming off a boom, or what seemed to be an updraft or your “Up Wing” kind of periods that you think of — and then we didn't.I guess I think of it this way: the '50s, '60s, and '90s were exciting times that made it feel like the best was yet to come — but then that momentum stalled. I'm hopeful we're entering another such moment now, with so much happening, so much in motion, and I just hope it all comes together.The way I think about it in a bigger lens, I would just push back a little bit, which is, it's true coming off the '90s — I was at WIRED magazine in the '90s. I was watching the early '90s internet and the Digital Revolution and I sketched out at that time, in my first book but also cover stories in WIRED, trying to rough out what would happen by the year 2020. And it is true that coming off the '90s there was a Dot Com crash, but temporarily, honestly, that with the Web 2.0 and others, a lot of those trends we were talking about in the '90s actually just kept picking up.So depending how big the lens is, I would argue that, coming off the '90s, the full digital revolution and the full globalization that we were starting to see in the early to mid-'90s in some respects did come to fruition. It didn't play out the way we all wanted it to happen — spreading wealth all through the society and blah, blah, blah, and many of the things that people complain about and react to now — but I would argue that a lot of what we were saying in those '90s, and had begun in the '90s with the '90s boom, continued after a temporary pause, for sure.The Dot Com boom was just frothy investment. It crashed, but the companies that come out of that crash are literally trillion-dollar companies dominating the global economy now here on the west coast. That was some of the things we could see happening from the mid-'90s. The world did get connected through the internet, and globalization did, from a lens that's beyond America, we took 800 million peasants living on two bucks a day in China and brought them into the global economy. There's all kinds of positive things of what happened in the last 25 years, depending on how big your lens is.I would say that we've been through a largely successful — clearly some issues, “Oh my gosh, we didn't anticipate social media and that stuff,” but in general, the world that we were actually starting to envision in the '90s came about, at some level — with some flaws, and some issues, and we could have done better, but I'm saying now I think AI is bigger than the internet. I think the idea that humans are now working side-by-side with intelligent machines and being augmented by intelligent machines is a world historical event that is going to go beyond just connecting everybody on the planet through the internet, which is kind of what the '90s was, and the early Digital Revolution.This is a bigger deal, and I do think this transformation has the potential to be way bigger too. If we manage it right — including how we did it positively or negatively in the last 25, 30 years off the '90s — if we do this right, we could really pull off what I think is a reinvention of America and a much better world going beyond this. That's not a prediction that we're going to do that, but I think we certainly have the potential there.While I was preparing for our chat, I recalled a podcast I did with Marc Andreessen where we discussed AI — not just its potential to solve big problems and drive progress, but also about the obstacles, especially regulatory ones. He pointed out that those barriers are why we don't have things like widespread nuclear power, let alone fusion reactors.When I asked why he thought we could overcome those barriers this time around, he said we probably won't — that failure should be the baseline because these obstacles are deeply rooted in a risk-averse American society. Now, why isn't that your baseline?My baseline is that America — again, I'm taking a bigger lens here, which is we periodically come to these junctures in history in which you could say, from left and right, there's kind of an ossification of the old system. What happens is the old ways of doing things, the old systems, essentially get kind of stuck, and ossified, and just defunct, and long in the tooth, and all different ways you can describe it. But what happens at these junctures — and it happened coming off World War II, it happened after the Civil War, I happened after in the Founding Era too, coming off the colonial world — there is an incredible period of explosion of progress, essentially, and they usually are about 25 years, which is why I'm thinking about the next 25 years.I think we Americans tend to reset the clock in which we get in these dead ends, we get in these old patterns, these old systems, and the things are all falling apart, it's not working. And then there is a kind of a can-do reinvention phase that, frankly, is beyond Europe now. The great hope of the West is still going to be America here. But I think we're actually entering it and I think this is what's happening, and . . . I've read your book, The Conservative Futurist, I would call myself more of a “Progressive Futurist,” but I would say both left and right in this country have gone too extreme. The right is critiquing “government can't do anything right,” and the left is critiquing “the market, corporations can't do anything right.”The actual American framework is the Hamiltonian government, coming off Lincoln's government, the FDR government. There is a role for government, a vigorous kind of government presence that can drive change, but there's also a great role for the market too.There's this center left and center right that has now got to recalibrate for this next era of America. I think because the old system — and from the right, the old system might be big bureaucratic government that was born out of World War II, the great welfare state bureaucracies, also the Pax Americana. Trump is kind of banging against, dismantling that old thing that's been going for 80 years and, frankly, is kind of run out of steam. It's not really working. But the left is also coming out, carbon energy, and drilling for oil, and industrial pollution, and all that other stuff that was coming off of that scaling of the 20th century economy is also not working for the 21st century. We've also got to dismantle those systems. But together, looking forward, you could imagine a complete reinvention around these new technologies. AI is a huge one. Without question, the first among equals it's going to be the game changer around every field, every industry.Also clean energy technologies, I would argue, are just hitting the point of tipping points of scale that we could imagine a shift in the energy foundation. We could see abundant clean energy, including nuclear. I think there's a new re-appreciation of nuclear coming even from left-of-center, but also potential fusion on the horizon.I also think bioengineering is something that we haven't really got our heads into, but in terms of the long-term health of the planet, and all kinds of synthetic biology, and all kinds of things that are happening, we are now past the tipping point, and we know how to do this.I think there's three world historic technologies that America could get reinvented around in the next 25 years. I think the old system, left and right, is now done with this old thing that isn't working, but that opens up the potential for the future. So yes, what Andreessen's talking about is the late stage of the last gummed-up system that wasn't working. For that matter, the same thing from the left is complaining about the inequality, and the old system isn't working now the way it was, circulating wealth through society. But I think there's a way to reinvent that and I actually think we're on the verge of doing it, and that's what I'm trying to do for my project, my book, my Substack stuff.American risk tolerance (11:15)I think there is an elite on the right-of-center tech and the left-of-center tech that sees the same commonalities about the potential of the technology, but also the potential for transformation going forward, that would be healthy. Do you feel that there's enough ferment happening that, institutionally, there will be enough space for these technologies to flourish as you hope? That the first time that there's a problem with an AI model where people die because some system failed, we're not going to be like, “We need to pause AI.” That the next time with one of these restarted nuclear reactors, if there's some minor problem, we're not going to suddenly panic and say, “That's it, nuclear is gone again.” Do you think we have that kind of societal resilience to deal? I think we've had too little of that, but do you think there's enough now, for the reasons you're talking about, that we will continue to push forward?I think there's absolutely the chance that can happen. Now, like Andreessen said, it's not a prediction like, “Oh, this will be fine, it's all going to work out.” We could also go the way of Europe, which is we could get over-regulated, over-ossified, go back to the old days, be this nice tourist spot that, whatever, we look at our old buildings and stuff and we figure out a way to earn a living, but it's just getting more and more and more in the past. That's also a possibility, and I suppose if you had to bet, maybe that's the greater possibility, in default.But I don't think that's going to happen because I do believe more in America. I'm also living in Northern California here. I'm surrounded for the last 30 years, people are just jam packed with new ideas. There's all kinds of s**t happening here. It's just an explosive moment right now. We are attracting the best and the brightest from all over the country, all over the world. There is no other place in the world, bar none, around AI than San Francisco right now, and you cannot be here and not just get thrilled at the possibility of what's happening. Now, does that mean that we're going to be able to pull this off through the whole country, through the whole world? I don't know, there is a lot of ambiguity there and this is why you can't predict the future with certainty.But I do believe we have the potential here to rebuild fundamentally. I think there is an elite on the right-of-center tech and the left-of-center tech that sees the same commonalities about the potential of the technology, but also the potential for transformation going forward, that would be healthy. For example, I know Andreessen, you talk about Andreessen . . . I was also rooted in the whole Obama thing, there was a ton of tech people in the Obama thing, and now there's a ton of tech people who are kind of tech-right, but it's all kind of washes together. It's because we all see the potential of these technologies just emerging in front of us. The question is . . . how do you get the systems to adapt?Now, to be fair, California, yes, it's been gummed up with regulations and overthink, but on the other hand, it's opened itself up. It just went through historic shifts in rolling back environmental reviews and trying to drive more housing by refusing to let the NIMBY shut it down. There's a bunch of things that even the left-of-center side is trying to deal with this gummed-up system, and the right-of-center side is doing their version of it in DC right now.Anyhow, the point is, we see the limits on both left-of-center and right-of-center of what's currently happening and what has happened. The question is, can we get aligned on a relatively common way forward, which is what America did coming off the war for 25 years, which is what happened after the Civil War. There were issues around the Reconstruction, but there was a kind of explosive expansion around American progress in the 25 years there. And we did it off the Revolution too. There are these moments where left-of-center and right-of-center align and we kind of build off of a more American set of values: pluralism, meritocracy, economic growth, freedom, personal freedom, things that we all can agree on, it's just they get gummed up in these old systems and these old ideologies periodically and we've just got to blow through them and try something different. I think the period we're in right now.Facing AI pessimism (15:38)The world of AI is so foreign to them, it's so bizarre to them, it's so obscure to them, that they're reacting off it just like any sensible human being. You're scared of a thing you don't get.I feel like you are very optimistic.Yes, that is true.I like to think that I am very optimistic. I think we're both optimistic about what these technologies can do to make this country and this world a richer world, a more sustainable world, a healthier world, create more opportunity. I think we're on the same page. So it's sad to me that I feel like I've been this pessimistic so far throughout our conversation and this next question, unfortunately, will be in that vein.Okay, fair enough.I have a very clear memory of the '90s tech boom, and the excitement, and this is the most excited I've been since then, but I know some people aren't excited, and they're not excited about AI. They think AI means job loss, it means a dehumanization of society where we only interact with screens, and they think all the gains from any added economic growth will only go to the super rich, and they're not excited about it.My concern is that the obvious upsides will take long enough to manifest that the people who are negative, and the downsides — because there will be downsides with any technology or amazing new tool, no matter how amazing it is — that our society will begin to focus on the downsides, on, “Oh, this company let go of these 50 people in their marketing department,” and that's what will be the focus, and we will end up overregulating it. There will be pressure on companies, just like there's pressure on film companies not to use AI in their special effects or in their advertising, that there will be this anti-AI, anti-technology backlash — like we've seen with trade — because what I think are the obvious upsides will take too long to manifest. That is one of my concerns.I agree with that. That is a concern. In fact, right now if you look at the polling globally, about a third of Americans are very negative and down on AI, about a third are into AI, and about a third, don't what the hell what to make of it. But if you go to China, and Japan, and a lot of Asian countries, it's like 60 percent, 70 percent positive about AI. You go to Europe and it's similar to the US, if not worse, meaning there is a pessimism.To be fair, from a human planet point of view, the West has had a way privileged position in the last 250 years in terms of the wealth creation, in terms of the spoils of globalization, and the whole thing. So you could say — which is not a popular thing to say in America right now — that with globalization in the last 25 years, we actually started to rectify, from a global point of view, a lot of these inequities in ways that, from the long view, is not a bad thing to happen, that everybody in the planet gets lifted up and we can move forward as eight billion people on the planet.I would say so there is a negativity in the West because they're coming off a kind of an era that they were always relatively privileged. There is this kind of baked-in “things are getting worse” feeling for a lot of people. That's kind of adding to this pessimism, I think. That's a bad thing.My next book, which is coming out with Harper Collins and we just cracked the contract on that, I got a big advance —Hey, congratulations.But the whole idea of this book is kind of trying to create a new grand narrative of what's possible now, in the next 25 years, based on these new technologies and how we could reorganize the economy and society in ways that would work better for everybody. The reason I'm kind of trying to wrap this up, and the early pieces of this are in my Substack series of these essays I'm writing, is because I think what's missing right now is people can't see the new way forward. That's the win-win way forward. They actually are only operating on this opaque thing. The world of AI is so foreign to them, it's so bizarre to them, it's so obscure to them, that they're reacting off it just like any sensible human being. You're scared of a thing you don't get.What's interesting about this, and again what's useful, is I went through this exact same thing in the '90s. It's a little bit different, and I'll tell you the differentiation in a minute, but basically back in the '90s when I was working at the early stage with the founders of WIRED magazine, it was the early days of WIRED, basically meaning the world didn't know what email was, what the web was, people were saying there's no way people would put their credit cards on the internet, no one's going to buy anything on there, you had to start with square one. What was interesting about it is they didn't understand what's possible. A lot of the work I was doing back then at WIRED, but also with my first book then, went into multiple languages, all kinds of stuff, was trying to explain from the mid-'90s, what the internet and the Digital Revolution tied with globalization might look like in a positive way to the year 2020, which is a 25-year lookout.That was one of the popularities of the book, and the articles I was doing on that, and the talks I was doing — a decade speaking on this thing — because people just needed to see it: “Oh! This is what it means when you connect up everybody! Oh! I could see myself in my field living in a world where that works. Oh, actually, the trade of with China might work for my company, blah, blah, blah.” People could kind of start to see it in a way that they couldn't in the early to mid-'90s. They were just like, “I don't even know, what's an Amazon? Who cares if they're selling books on it? I don't get it.” But you could rough it out from a technological point of view and do that.I think it's the same thing now. I think we need do this now. We have to say, “Hey dudes, you working with AI is going to make you twice as productive. You're going to make twice as much money.” The growth rate of the economy — and you're good with this with your Up Wing stuff. I'm kind of with you on that. It could be like we're all actually making more money, more wealth pulsing through society. Frankly, we're hurting right now in terms of, we don't have enough bodies doing stuff and maybe we need some robots. There's a bunch of ways that you could reframe this in a bigger way that people could say, “Oh, maybe I could do that better,” and in a way that I think I saw the parallels back there.Now the one difference now, and I'll tell you the one difference between the '90s, and I mentioned this earlier, in the '90s, everybody thought these goofy tech companies and stuff were just knucklehead things. They didn't understand what they were. In fact, if anything, the problem was the opposite. You get their attention to say, “Hey, this Amazon thing is a big deal,” or “This thing called Google is going to be a big thing.” You couldn't even get them focused on that. It took until about the 20-teens, 2012, -13, -14 till these companies got big enough.So now everybody's freaked out about the tech because they're these giant gargantuan things, these trillion-dollar companies with global reach in ways that, in the '90s, they weren't. So there is a kind of fear-factor baked into tech. The last thing I'll say about that, though, is I know I've learned one thing about tech is over the years, and I still believe it's true today, that the actual cutting-edge of technology is not done in the legacy companies, even these big legacy tech companies, although they'll still be big players, is that the actual innovation is going to happen on the edges through startups and all that other thing, unless I'm completely wrong, which I doubt. That's been the true thing of all these tech phases. I think there's plenty of room for innovation, plenty of room for a lot of people to be tapped into this next wave of innovation, and also wealth creation, and I think there is a way forward that I think is going to be less scary than people right now think. It's like they think that current tech setup is going to be forever and they're just going to get richer, and richer, and richer. Well, if they were in the '90s, those companies, Facebook didn't exist, Google didn't exist, Amazon didn't exist. Just like we all thought, “Oh, IBM is going to run everything,” it's like, no. These things happen at these junctures, and I think we're in another one of the junctures, so we've got to get people over this hump. We've got to get them to see, “Hey, there's a win-win way forward that America can be revitalized, and prosperous, and wealth spread.”The bioengineering breakthrough (24:24)Just like we had industrial production in the Industrial Revolution that scaled great wealth and created all these products off of that we could have a bio-economy, a biological revolution . . .I think that's extraordinarily important, giving people an idea of what can be, and it's not all negative. You've talked a little bit about AI, people know that's out there and they know that some people think it's going to be big. Same thing with clean energy.To me, of your three transformer technologies, the one we I think sometimes hear less about right now is bioengineering. I wonder if you could just give me a little flavor of what excites you about that.It is on a delay. Clean energy has been going for a while here and is starting to scale on levels that you can see the impact of solar, the impact of electric cars and all kinds stuff, particularly from a global perspective. Same thing with AI, there's a lot of focus on that, but what's interesting about bioengineering is there were some world historic breakthroughs basically in the last 25 years.One is just cracking the human genome and driving the cost down to, it's like a hundred bucks now to get anybody's genome processed. That's just crazy drop in price from $3 million on the first one 20 years ago to like a hundred bucks now. That kind of dramatic change. Then the CRISPR breakthrough, which is essentially we can know how to cheaply and easily edit these genomes. That's a huge thing. But it's not just about the genomics. It's essentially we are understanding biology to the point where we can now engineer living things.Just think about that: Human beings, we've been in the Industrial Revolution, everything. We've learned how to engineer inert things, dig up metals, and blah, blah, blah, blah, and engineer a thing. We didn't even know how living things worked, or we didn't even know what DNA was until the 1950s, right? The living things has been this opaque world that we have no idea. We've crossed that threshold. We now understand how to engineer living things, and it's not just the genetic engineering. We can actually create proteins. Oh, we can grow cultured meat instead of waiting for the cow to chew the grass to make the meat, we can actually make it into that and boom, we know how it works.This breakthrough of engineering living things is only now starting to kind of dawn on everyone . . . when you talk about synthetic biology, it's essentially man-made biology, and that breakthrough is huge. It's going to have a lot of economic implications because, across this century, it depends how long it takes to get past the regulation, and get the fear factor of people, which is higher than even AI, probably, around genetic engineering and cloning and all this stuff. Stem cells, there's all kinds of stuff happening in this world now that we could essentially create a bio-economy. Just like we had industrial production in the Industrial Revolution that scaled great wealth and created all these products off of that we could have a bio-economy, a biological revolution that would allow, instead of creating plastic bottles, you could design biological synthetic bottles that dissolve after two weeks in the ocean from saltwater or exposure to sunlight and things like that. Nature knows how to both create things that work and also biodegrade them back to nothing.There's a bunch of insights that we now can learn from Mother Nature about the biology of the world around us that we can actually design products and services, things that actually could do it and be much more sustainable in terms of the long-term health of the planet, but also could be better for us and has all kinds of health implications, of course. That's where people normally go is think, “Oh my god, we can live longer” and all kinds of stuff. That's true, but also our built world could actually be redesigned using super-hard woods or all kinds of stuff that you could genetically design differently.That's a bigger leap. There's people who are religious who can't think of touching God's work, or a lot of eco-environmentalists like, “Oh, we can't mess with Mother Nature.” There's going to be some issues around that, but through the course of the century, it's going to absolutely happen and I think it could happen in the next 25 years, and that one could actually be a huge thing about recreating essentially a different kind of economy around those kinds of insights.So we've got three world-historic technologies: AI, clean energy, and now bioengineering, and if America can't invent the next system, who the hell is going to do that? You don't want China doing it.Demographic pressure (28:52)We are going to welcome the robots. We are going to welcome the AI, these advanced societies, to create the kind of wealth, and support the older people, and have these long lives.No, I do not. I do not. Two things I find myself writing a lot about are falling birth rates globally, and I also find myself writing about the future of the space economy. Which of those topics, demographic change or space, do you find intellectually more interesting?I think the demographic thing is more interesting. I mean, I grew up in a period where everyone was freaked out about overpopulation. We didn't think the planet would hold enough people. It's only been in the last 10 years that, conventionally, people have kind of started to shift, “Oh my God, we might not have enough people.” Although I must say, in the futurist business, I've been watching this for 30 years and we've been talking about this for a long time, about when it's going to peak humans and then it's going to go down. Here's why I think that's fantastic: We are going to welcome the robots. We are going to welcome the AI, these advanced societies, to create the kind of wealth, and support the older people, and have these long lives. I mean long lives way beyond 80, it could be 120 years at some level. Our kids might live to that.The point is, we're going to need artificial intelligence, and robotics, and all these other things, and also we're going to need, frankly, to move the shrinking number of human beings around the planet, i.e. immigration and cross-migration. We're going to need these things to solve these problems. So I think about this: Americans are practical people. At its core, we're practical people. We're not super ideological. Currently, we kind of think we're ideological, but we're basically common-sense, practical people. So these pressures, the demographic pressures, are going to be one of the reasons I think we are going to migrate to this stuff faster than people think, because we're going to realize, “Holy s**t, we've got to do this.” When social security starts going broke and the boomers are like 80 and 90 and it is like, okay, let alone the young people thinking, “How the hell am I going to get supported?” we're going to start having to create a different kind of economy where we leverage the productivity of the humans through these advanced technologies, AI and robotics, to actually create the kind of world we want to live in. It could be a better world than the world we've got now, than the old 20th-century thing that did a good shot. They lifted the bar from the 19th century to the 20th. Now we've got to lift it in the 21st. It's our role, it's what we do. America, [let's] get our s**t together and start doing it. That's the way I would say it.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedFaster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Texas flood has caused immense heartbreak, with over 100 dead and more than 160 missing. Among the tragic stories are two young sisters, aged 13 and 11, found drowned but holding hands. Mother Nature can be a monster. Also, President Trump has had enough of Putin. Putin is a genocidal maniac responsible for slaughtering Ukrainian civilians, but there are some in Fake MAGA who root for Russia. Trump has stated bluntly that he won't tolerate Putin's actions any longer. Later, there's been a lot of buzz about Jeffrey Epstein and an alleged "list" of people tied to his crimes, but it's all speculation. The FBI has investigated, but no major new revelations have been confirmed. Social media keeps the topic alive with conspiracy theories. In addition, the Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, upheld Trump's plan to reduce the federal workforce, overturning a Ninth Circuit ruling. The order affirmed the president's authority to manage the executive branch without congressional approval, citing separation of powers.  Afterward, the welfare state's growth, seen as new constitutional rights, obscures increasing control and regulation, failing to deliver promised equity. This strengthens the ruling class, diminishes individual and societal rights, and erodes compromise, unlike the Founders' positive power approach, which supports liberty and peaceful resolution.

In this electrifying episode, we unpack the latest twists in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, including Trump's defensive response to lingering questions and the sudden announcement of a criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey. Is this a deflection from the Epstein cover-up, or the accountability America needs? We explore the intelligence asset theory, dissect Tucker Carlson and Sager's breakdown, and react to a viral Asmongold clip that had us all saying, “Get out of our heads!” Plus, we tackle the tragic Texas floods, debating cloud seeding conspiracies with input from meteorologists like Travis Herzog—spoiler: Clay's still a proud conspiracy theorist but leaning toward Mother Nature's wrath this time. From there, we pivot to a disturbing planned ambush on ICE agents in Texas, the absurdity of First Amendment auditors clashing with troopers outside the Mississippi Governor's Mansion, and a heated discussion on immigration policy—complete with Clay's Ellis Island-style processing center idea and Shaun's bleeding-heart perspective. Oh, and did we mention the TSA dropping the shoe-removal rule? We're outraged, amused, and everything in between. Throw in some wild tangents about dueling, the military-industrial complex, and Clay's ongoing drama with local crazies, and you've got a show that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining. **Why Watch?** - Unscripted, real-time reactions from hosts who aren't afraid to disagree. - Deep dives into politics, culture, and conspiracies with a local Mississippi twist. - Exclusive updates on *Uncensored Live*'s upgrade to a 50,000-watt signal—soon to be a statewide powerhouse! - Bonus: Check out our new FAFO merch, including the infamous “wife beaters,” available at the upcoming Wildlife Expo (July 18-20, 2025, Clyde Muse Center, Pearl, MS). **Who's This For?** If you're tired of sanitized news and crave bold, no-holds-barred commentary from everyday folks with a passion for truth, this is your show. Fans of *The Clay Edwards Show*, *Crossing the Aisle*, or anyone who loves a good debate will feel right at home. Whether you're a MAGA supporter, a skeptic, or just here for the chaos, we've got something to challenge your perspective. **Follow Us:** - Clay Edwards: @savejxn (X, Facebook, YouTube, Rumble, Instagram, TikTok) & @clayedwardsshow (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram) - Shaun & Lindsey: Catch their socials soon—stay tuned! - Stream worldwide on your favorite platform and join the conversation in the comments! **Tune In:** Catch us live Sunday through Thursday at 8:00 PM CDT (ish!), with audio versions dropping on *The Clay Edwards Show* podcast.

in the background, only birds and the breathing of the wind could be heard.He: המתנה הגדולה של השמש הרגישה כמו חיבוק מאמא טבע.En: The great gift of the sun felt like a hug from Mother Nature.He: מתן הביט מסביב, חש אחריות כבדה על כתפיו.En: Matan looked around, feeling a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.He: הוא היה האח הגדול, ובשבילו היה חשוב מאוד לחזק את הקשר המשפחתי.En: He was the older brother, and it was very important for him to strengthen the family bond.He: הריחוק ביניהם התעצם עם השנים, ובפעם הראשונה מזה הרבה זמן, כולם נפגשו יחד.En: The distance between them had grown over the years, and for the first time in a long time, they all met together.He: טליה, התבוננה בנוף הנפלא, אך בפנים היא עוד התאוששה מפרידה כואבת.En: Talia gazed at the wonderful landscape, but inside she was still recovering from a painful breakup.He: היא לא סיפרה לאחיה כמה היא פגועה, ליבה עוד זכר את הכאב.En: She hadn't told her brothers how hurt she was; her heart still remembered the pain.He: שירה, הקטנה ביניהם, קיפצה מאחוריהם בחיוך נמרץ - אך לעיתים הרגישה שלא רואים אותה, שהיא רק הצל של אחיה הבוגרים.En: Shira, the youngest among them, was bouncing behind them with an energetic smile—but at times, she felt unseen, as if she were just the shadow of her older siblings.He: מתן הציע טיול רגלי למחרת בבוקר.En: Matan suggested a hike the next morning.He: "נטייל יחד בטבע, זה יהיה טוב לנו," הוא אמר.En: "Let's walk together in nature; it will be good for us," he said.He: הוא קיווה שהשקט של המדבר יהפוך למצבור תחושות וחוויות משותפות לכולם.En: He hoped the quiet of the desert would transform into a collection of shared feelings and experiences for all of them.He: בבוקר, כולם יצאו לטיול עם תרמילים ומים.En: In the morning, they all set out for a hike with backpacks and water.He: זה היה יום בהיר, אך לפתע, עננים החלו להתקדר מעליהם.En: It was a clear day, but suddenly, clouds began to darken above them.He: רוח חזקה התחילה לנשוב, וגשם זלעפות פרץ בהפתעה.En: A strong wind started blowing, and a torrential rain burst forth unexpectedly.He: הם נאלצו למצוא מחסה במערה קטנה בהרים.En: They had to find shelter in a small cave in the mountains.He: בתוך המערה, בצל הגשם המרסק, האבנים הקרירות והשקט של העולם, היו שם סוף סוף רק הם.En: Inside the cave, under the crashing rain, the cool stones, and the world's silence, they were finally just them.He: מתן, עם נשימות עמוקות, הבין שזה הזמן לדבר.En: Matan, with deep breaths, realized it was time to speak.He: "אני מרגיש שאני תמיד צריך לשמור עליכם," התחיל, קולו נשבר.En: "I feel like I always need to protect you," he began, his voice breaking.He: "אבל אולי איבדתי את הדרך.En: "But maybe I've lost my way."He: "טליה התחילה לדבר, "אני כל כך קיוויתי לשלום עם עצמי.En: Talia started to speak, "I so hoped for peace with myself.He: עם כל מה שקרה לי.En: With everything that happened to me."He: " קולה רעד.En: Her voice trembled.He: שירה, שהתיישבה לידם, לחשה: "אני פשוט רוצה לראות את כולנו יחד.En: Shira, who sat beside them, whispered: "I just want to see all of us together."He: "בחושך של המערה, החלו האחים לשתף ולבטא את שאת ליבם.En: In the darkness of the cave, the siblings began to share and express what was in their hearts.He: מתן הבין שעליו לשחרר את הרגשתו שעליו להיות האח הכל יכול.En: Matan realized that he needed to let go of the feeling that he had to be the all-capable brother.He: טליה מצאה שלום בלשתף את כאבה, ושירה גילתה סוף סוף את מקומה המיוחד בתוך המשפחה.En: Talia found peace in sharing her pain, and Shira finally discovered her special place within the family.He: הגשם הפסיק.En: The rain stopped.He: הם יצאו החוצה, השמש שוב חזרה להאיר בחום.En: They went outside, the sun once again shining warmly.He: מתן, טליה ושירה הרגישו קרבה חדשה שלא הייתה שם לפני.En: Matan, Talia, and Shira felt a new closeness that wasn't there before.He: הם חיבקו אחד את השני, וליבם היה מלא אהבה וחום.En: They hugged each other, and their hearts were full of love and warmth.He: כשחזרו למקום האירוח בהרים, הכל הרגיש אחרת.En: When they returned to their lodging in the mountains, everything felt different.He: הם הבטיחו להישאר בקשר קרוב יותר, לא משנה מה יקרה.En: They promised to stay in closer touch, no matter what happens.He: הלבבות נפתחו, והם ידעו שהמשפחה חשובה מכל דבר.En: Their hearts were open, and they knew that family was more important than anything else.He: מתן למד לפעמים להיות פגיע זו המעלה הגדולה ביותר, והחיבור המשפחתי שלהם רק התחזק מהקשיים.En: Matan learned that sometimes being vulnerable is the greatest virtue, and their family connection only strengthened from the hardships.He: כך, אל מול הנוף הפתוח והמרשים של אילת, הם הרגישו שותפות אמת ואחדות.En: Thus, facing the open and impressive landscape of Eilat, they felt true partnership and unity.

As the nation focuses on the Big Beautiful Bill, Linda and her guest, Jonathan Williams, President and Chief Economist at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), discuss the importance of federalism and the freedom for states to innovate and exchange best-practice ideas for human flourishing and economic prosperity. Data from our 50 laboratories of democracy provides real-life examples of effects of government policies on businesses and families across the country, which can then help to shape policy in other states and across the nation. Policies involving energy, education, parental rights, regulations, taxation, and more can be evaluated by examining their effects.

Greater Yellowlegs — not surprisingly — have bright yellow legs and feet. And why? While foraging through shallow water, a yellowlegs can keep track of its legs by the color, which contrasts with the sometimes dark and irregular bottom. A Sanderling, on the other hand, has black legs and feet. Its black toes really stand out against the pale sand. And the brilliant orange legs of Ruddy Turnstones? They stand out like a neon light on the shore. Mother Nature is good with the fine details!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
