In Pakistan, the government has sold its national carrier, PIA, in an auction which was televised live. The airline sold for $482 million. Gideon Long speaks to Muhammad Ali, the privatisation adviser to Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. We hear from two countries at the sharp end of Donald Trump's tariffs over the past year - India, which is on 50% US export tariffs, and South Africa facing 30%. And in the UK there is a blue and smelly cheese called Stilton which many people traditionally eat at Christmas. In fact 40% of sales are in the six weeks before Christmas. But its makers are on a mission to change all that and make Stilton a year round nibble.

Send us a textFeeling hurried, lonely, or just tired of waiting for January to change everything? We lean into the truth that purpose rarely arrives with a calendar flip—it shows up when action becomes devotion. Drawing on Gandhi, MLK, Muhammad Ali, and Lao Tzu, we explore why the surest way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service, not in spectacle. This conversation moves from personal stories of letting go—especially the tender shift when children no longer need our guidance—to a broader vision of karma yoga and bhakti, where everyday acts become living prayers.We challenge the myth that more stuff or brighter displays will fill the ache. Instead, we offer a gentler, braver path: small deeds done in quiet that restore dignity to others and meaning to us. Think visiting a nursing home, blessing a neighbor who rarely opens the door, writing to a soldier, honoring a teacher, or plating meals at a shelter with no camera rolling. These are the moments where presence displaces anxiety and devotion replaces performance. Along the way, we talk about entering a new season of life with open hands—retiring from roles that defined us so our true vocation can finally breathe.You'll also hear a simple daily practice to anchor your day before work: offering your tasks as prayer, asking to be an instrument of peace, and choosing to see the spark in every person you meet. If you're craving meaning at year's end, start smaller than you think and sooner than you planned. Press play, take one step of service today, and let us know the small deed you're choosing.

There was no more feared boxer than George Foreman in his prime. Tough, strong, mean, talented, smart… George had it all and was at the top of his game as heavyweight champ until October 30, 1974 when he lost to Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle. Now a year later, Big George is on the cover of Sports Illustrated, wanting another shot at Ali for “his title.” The fight never took place. And in 1977, George retired from boxing. And that set up one of the greatest 2nd acts in the history of the sport. 10 years later, a 38-year old George came out of retirement and got back into the ring. He kept at it, and finally, on November 5, 1995 in the 10th round against heavyweight champion Michael Moorer, George caught him, knocked him out and was once again the heavyweight champion of the world at the age of 45. On the mic calling that fight was a colleague of George's who had known Foreman for years. Jim Lampley had been around almost as long as Foreman, starting his incredible broadcasting career the same year George and Ali hooked up in Zaire. Now in the prime of his own boxing career at HBO, Lamps was the voice of a generation, especially for those who loved the sweet science. He had asked George how he planned to beat a much younger Moorer and George told him what was going to take place. And when it unfolded exactly how George had said it would, Lampley exclaimed, It Happened, It Happened… his famous four word account of George Foreman recapturing the belt he had lost over 20 years ago to his nemesis Ali. Jim Lampley joins us on the Past Our Prime podcast to talk about his start in the business as a 24-year old kid for ABC Sports. His rise in the industry and how he won over the trust of Foreman as a broadcasting partner, and eventually an equal and… a friend. He talks about the sudden passing of the champ and how that still moves him to tears and about the transformation George had from angry, intimidating, brute to the lovable, jovial gentle giant we all came to embrace during George's successful Act Two. And Lampley tells a story about George and Bob Dylan that lets you get behind the curtain and see a different side of George altogether. It's a great talk with a man who has been in the broadcasting business for 50 years and seen some of the greatest fights of the last 50 years. The author of the book, “It Happened, A Uniquely Lucky Life in Sports Television,” Jim Lampley on the Past Our Prime podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rune Lykkeberg taler i denne uge med den sorte amerikanske professor og forfatter Khalil Gibran Muhammad om forholdet mellem sorte og hvide i USA – og om vilkårene for akademisk ytringsfrihed under Trump. --- Ugens gæst hos Rune Lykkeberg er den sorte amerikanske historiker, forfatter og intellektuelle Khalil Gibran Muhammad. Khalil Gibran Muhammad er professor ved Princeton University og har bl.a. skrevet en bog om fængslingen af de sorte, The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America, fra 2011. Den handler om, hvordan udskilningen og stigmatiseringen og udskamningen fortsatte efter ophævelsen af slaveriet i form af en kriminalisering af den sorte amerikanske befolkning – og bogen består både af kulturkritiske optegnelser og et omfattende datamateriale. Netop nu er Khalil Gibran Muhammad i gang med at skrive endnu en bog om, hvad der skete med de sorte efter borgerrettighedsprotesterne i 1960'erne, hvilket han også løfter lidt af sløret for i løbet af samtalen. Khalil Gibran Muhammad er vokset op i Chicago og er oldebarn til Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975), en stor sort leder i USA, som grundlagde Nation of Islam og i mange år fungerede som dens leder. Det var i hans bevægelse, at Malcolm X voksede sig stor, og det var under hans vinger, at Cassius Clay (som verdens bedste bokser tidligere hed) skiftede navn og blev til Muhammad Ali. I løbet af samtalen kommer Khalil Gibran Muhammad ind på det hele – og så får han lejlighed til at uddybe et citat, han tidligere har givet til Information, og som Rune Lykkeberg er så begejstret for, at han siden har brugt det i adskillige af sine egne artikler i avisen. Hør, hvad det alt sammen handler om – og hvad Khalil Gibran Muhammad i øvrigt mener om både Donald Trump, USA's plads i verden og den mangelfulde støtte fra sine egne universitetskolleger – i løbet af denne uges Langsomme samtale.
When Cal returns to Tampa's Ybor City to speak, he keeps a ritual that's become almost sacred: a meal at the legendary 120-year-old Columbia Restaurant, followed by a quiet moment of thanks to the man who first sent him there — Muhammad Ali's doctor, the renowned Ferdie Pacheco. Ferdie wasn't just the "Fight Doctor." He was an artist, a storyteller, and a man with a taste for a good practical joke. After his meal, Cal goes to pay tribute to Ferdie through his painting that hangs near The Columbia's kitchen. Only this time, the painting is gone, and it feels to Cal like an old friend has vanished. What happened next left Cal with a twist he couldn't see coming — and a hint that destiny sometimes whispers through the strangest openings. Listen in to hear the story unfold.
Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history—and how its force is foundational and can empower us to navigate our chaotic world In this timely new book in Beacon's successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples' resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today's climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall sheds light on known and forgotten movements and their unsung leaders, revealing how protest has shaped our nation and remains a vital force for change today. Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, memoir, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States (Beacon Press, 2026) gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those stories include those of: Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali who refused to be inducted into the US military during the Vietnam era and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018. Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that dissent is always meaningful and impactful. In fact, reading this book is an act of protest.

We sit down with the legend, the scholar, and the cultural architect — Dr. Todd Boyd, professor at USC (University of Southern California) also known as “The Notorious Ph.D.” One of the most respected voices in sports, film, hip-hop, race, and American culture, Dr. Boyd brings a raw, intelligent, and unfiltered conversation that every fan of the culture needs to hear.Born and raised in Detroit, Dr. Boyd reflects on how growing up in one of the most influential Black cities in America shaped his worldview. From the sound of Motown to the grit of the streets to the pride of a city that produces icons, Detroit built his mindset — and ultimately molded the cultural force he would become.He opens up about his decision to attend The University of Iowa, revealing the unexpected reasons that pulled him away from home and the experiences that helped sharpen his voice as a thinker, writer, and observer of society.Before the world knew him as a cultural critic, Dr. Boyd's first love wasn't film or academia — it was the sweet science. He breaks down how watching the artistry of boxing, especially the greatness of Muhammad Ali, shaped his sense of identity, resistance, performance, and Black excellence. Ali wasn't just a fighter — he was the blueprint that inspired Boyd's lifelong commitment to telling the truth through culture.From there, he talks about how Dr. J (the other Dr. J — Julius Erving) inspired him to take his education further, ultimately pushing him toward earning his PhD. That moment of seeing Dr. J float through the air made him realize what was possible for a Black man with vision, talent, and discipline.Throughout the episode, Dr. Boyd walks us through an extraordinary career that's woven into the fabric of Black culture. From shaping conversations on ESPN and CNN… to writing some of the most important cultural analysis of the last few decades… to leaving an imprint on Black cinema. And yes — we go deep on “The Wood,” one of the beloved films he helped bring to life, and how its authenticity, humor, and heart reflected the real Black experience.This episode is a blueprint for creators, storytellers, athletes, and anyone who cares about the culture. It's academic, it's real, it's inspirational — and it's filled with gems only Dr. Todd Boyd can deliver.Turn this one all the way up — it's a masterclass.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode of Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z, Matt Fanslow uses a famous Michael Jordan quote, a heartbreaking Minnesota Vikings loss, and a rant from Jeff Compton of The Jaded Mechanic Podcast to dig into a big question:When did we get so impatient with young people—and what is it costing our industry?Matt reflects on how we treat new, entry-level mechanical and technical specialists in our shops, how “common sense” isn't actually common, and why our own backgrounds make it easy to forget what it's like to start from zero. He draws parallels between sports, restaurants, and auto repair, and makes the case that if we want to “grow our own,” we must build patience and structure into our businesses.Along the way, he talks about failure as a prerequisite for greatness—using Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Muhammad Ali, and even win–loss records and batting averages to remind us that the “greats” failed a lot before anyone called them great.Highlights & Topics CoveredMichael Jordan's failure quote and what it really says about successA recent Vikings–Bears game:JJ McCarthy's rough day, clutch fourth-quarter drive, andHow special teams and defense actually lost the gameThe internet meltdown: instant calls to replace a young quarterback who's essentially still a rookieA short video rant from Jeff Compton (The Jaded Mechanic Podcast) about having patience with young peopleThe core question: When did we get so impatient—and were we always this way?Generational shifts in handling criticism, shame, and feedbackWhy “common sense” isn't common:How background, upbringing, and exposure shape what feels obviousGrowing up around farms, equipment, and shops vs. growing up with screensHomemakers, latchkey kids, and how changing family structures change what kids bring into the workplaceThe reality of today's entry-level hire:No mechanical backgroundDoesn't know a hex from a Torx… yetThe shop's responsibility if you want to “grow your own”:Structuring the business to shoulder an apprentice who isn't producing much at firstDefining basic expectations (showing up, being on time, not repeating the same mistake endlessly)Skill decay and repetition:Lab scopes, training classes, and how fast proficiency fades without regular useHow we criticize: sharp scalpel vs. rusty spoon; cutting people apart vs. building them upRemembering that apprentices didn't choose their childhood or start point—but are choosing this careerThe sports angle on failure and greatness:Michael Jordan getting cut from his high school teamPat Riley's quote about last shot vs. “save my life” shot (MJ vs. Larry Bird)Muhammad Ali's losses, UFC careers, and the obsession with “perfect records”Baseball batting averages: greatness at 30% successA teaser for a future episode: how this profession can play a role in the “war on young men”Key TakeawaysFailure is part of greatness. The people we call “the greatest” in sports failed repeatedly. Expecting perfection from a first-year tech is delusional.Common sense is built, not born. What feels obvious to you probably came from years of exposure, mistakes, and stories you grew up around. Your apprentice didn't get that same download.If you want to grow your own, structure for it. Shops that bring in entry-level mechanical/technical...

The provided audio excerpts feature a speaker discussing a conspiracy theory connecting the recent crash of UPS Flight 2976 with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the simultaneous death of Dick Cheney. The speaker points out numerous "coded" correlations, such as the flight number matching the official 9/11 death toll (2976) and the altitude of the crash relating to the second plane that struck the World Trade Center (Flight 175). Furthermore, the speaker links the crash's location (Muhammad Ali airport) and the election of a Muslim mayor in New York City to an alleged pattern of intentional, scripted media events designed to produce irony and symbolism. The speaker rejects the idea that these connections are merely coincidence, suggesting instead that major events are pre-planned simulations orchestrated by the same powerful entities.That is a very interesting request, especially given how much of the source material is focused on examining patterns and connections. It is certainly helpful to isolate the specific claims and observations made by the speaker.Here are five quotes from the source material, followed by a list of the connections the speaker observed:"Flight 2976 UPS crash 2976 911 death toll." (This quote is the speaker's original tweet that drew the connection between the flight number and the number of 9/11 fatalities.)"It's not like the media is objectively just reporting stuff for us. Um, everything has an agenda." (This captures the speaker's core belief about mainstream media reporting.)"What we're suggesting here is this coincidence the result of intentionality? Was it scheduled? Was it faked?" (This clarifies the central question of the speaker's open inquiry into the event.)"To go outside of that box and include other possibilities such as pre-scheduled scripted events. Uh that would be something you would reach with an open mind, open inquiry outside their closed system." (This explains the speaker's view of what constitutes "open-mindedness" regarding major media events.)"No, the purpose of media is to conform you to their prefabricated events." (This defines the speaker's asserted primary function of media.)The speaker uses the term "coincidence" to describe a series of connections between the UPS Flight 2976 crash and the 9/11 events, suggesting that these connections indicate "intentionality," "scheduling," or "scripting".The specific connections noted are:Flight Number/Death Toll Match: The flight number, 2976, matches the official 9/11 death toll (2,976).Altitude Correlation: The plane reached 175 ft. This number correlates with United Airlines Flight 175, which was the second plane to hit the World Trade Center on 9/11.Airport/Hijacker Name: The crash occurred near the Muhammad Ali airport. Muhammad Ata was the lead hijacker in the 9/11 attacks.Contemporaneous Terror Plot: There was a breaking terror plot in Dearborn, Michigan, involving individuals named Muhammad Ali and Muham Mount Moot.Fatalities in Wiki: At one point, the total fatalities listed on the Wiki page for the event was 911 (though the speaker notes it had previously been 411).Dick Cheney's Timing: The crash occurred on the same day that Dick Cheney died. Cheney is noted to have a historical association with 9/11.Visual Symbolism (Plane Hitting Building): The plane crashed into a building, which the speaker notes is reminiscent of the Pentagon or the Twin Towers, along with the subsequent dramatic flames.Visual Symbolism (Faces in Smoke): The side view of the explosion in the Wikipedia article looked like a giant cat face. This is compared to a famous example of a devil face seen in the smoke photography of 9/11.Political/Irony Theme: The crash followed Zohan winning the mayoralty of New York City. This led to a flood of 9/11 imagery and people noticing the irony of New York electing a Muslim mayor followed by a plane hitting a building.5 Selected QuotesList of Coincidences and Connections

Marine artist Carey Chen never took an art class. He simply picked up a pencil and then a paint brush and began to sketch and paint fish and marine scenes on canvas. For the past few decades, Carey has traveled all over the world, fishing tournaments, meeting fellow anglers and experiencing new fisheries. He is an expert billfish angler and his true love is catching big marlin. However, if there's a fish biting, odds are Carey will be one of the first anglers who tries to catch it. He spent his youth in Jamaica and Miami, where his love of fishing originated. Always an adrenaline junkie, he raced motorcycles for years. His father was a well-known promoter and Carey never knew who may be hanging out at the family home, from Frank Sinatra to Muhammad Ali. In this conversation, Carey talks about his art, his many fishing exploits and his favorite fishing destinations. Visit AnglersJournal.com for more. See Carey's artwork at CareyChen.com.

Send us a textTheater #183: Poetry on the Menu Poetry on the Menu In January 1967, writer/participatory journalist George Plimpton dreamed up a publicity stunt for heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. He arranged for him to meet Marianne Moore, decorated American poetess – a showman who creates doggerel rhymes, together with one of the finest true poets in the history of the English language. The pair couldn't be more opposite – He a gigantic, athletic man of color, at his physicalpeak, age 25, not formally educated, a Muslim, loud, charismatic, a showman with the burgeoning edge for social causes and advocacy; She, elderly, age 80, pasty white, doggedly Presbyterian, incredibly well educated, shy, frail and a kind of dowager spinster. Ali's poems, so called, which predicted his fights, were little more than expanded limericks. Moore's balletic verses and images won her the Pulitzer Prize, the National Medal in Literature and almost the Nobel Prize. Theirhost that day, Toots Shor, was a rough New York man of Jewish descent, who rubbed elbows, hosted, drank with, and incurred the wrath of entertainment giants of the first two-thirds of the 20th Century: Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin, Ernest Hemingway, Joe DiMaggio, Marilyn Monroe, etc. The meeting only lasted a few minutes and produced a short poem, “On the annihilation of Ernie Terrell,” Ali's next title foe. The playwright has expanded the meeting in a deeper way, as a one-act play, using snippets ofMoore's poetry to frame the time, Ali's immediate and lasting appeal through his pithy quotes uttered over two decades, and foreshadowing his thoughtful future self.Bernadette Armstrong directs a cast that includes Omari Williams as Muhammad Ali, Anne Cooper as Marianne Moore, Gary Lamb as Toots Shor, and Justice Davis as Kandu.James Anthony Merolla is the playwright.

Success is achieved through disciplined habits that build towards your goals, and by saying no to the urges towards distaractions & temporary fun. "The central part (of training) is in dodging the night clubs, and that parties, and the girls. You want the truth? And being in the bed by yourself at 9:00 at night, and if you can get by that, you'll make it. That's the truth." - Muhammad Ali

On June 3, 2016, Muhammad Ali — the three-time heavyweight champion, Olympic gold medalist, civil rights activist, and one of the most transformative figures in sports and culture — passed away at the age of 74. Ali first rose to prominence after stunning the world with his upset victory over Sonny Liston in 1964, and shortly thereafter changed his name to Muhammad Ali, declaring allegiance to his Muslim faith. In the ring, he was poetry in motion — a heavyweight who could “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee” — defeating legends like Joe Frazier and George. Outside the ring, his refusal to fight in Vietnam and his lifelong advocacy for justice, dignity, and peace made him a hero to. By the time of his passing, Ali was no longer just “The Greatest” in boxing — he was a citizen of the world, revered for his humanity as much as his athleticism.

00:10:00 – The 10th Amendment CrisisKnight explains how Trump's use of the Insurrection Act violates state sovereignty and sets a precedent for federal militarization. Republican senators like Murkowski and Tillis express concern but remain too afraid to confront Trump directly. 00:21:13 – ICE Snipers and the War on ProtestVideo evidence shows ICE agents firing pepper balls at peaceful protesters and clergy. Knight argues this militarized policing proves Trump's contempt for civil liberties and the Bill of Rights. 00:30:44 – Artificial Integrity: Pam Bondi & Cash PatelKnight coins the term “artificial integrity” to describe Trump's loyalists like Pam Bondi and Cash Patel, accusing them of evasion, dishonesty, and political theater during congressional hearings about Comey and Epstein. 00:37:36 – Marjorie Taylor Greene Breaks with TrumpKnight highlights Greene's public statement rejecting blind loyalty to Trump and defending her independence. He praises her rare courage, contrasting it with the cowardice of most GOP officials. 00:41:00 – FBI Spies on Republican SenatorsRevelation that the FBI secretly accessed phone records of eight Republican senators triggers outrage. Knight mocks their hypocrisy for ignoring mass surveillance until it targeted them personally. 00:44:24 – Trump Jr.'s Pharma GriftTrump Jr. joins the board of a prescription delivery company set to profit from a Trump administration drug summit. Knight calls it blatant graft disguised as “health reform.” 00:52:21 – Gold Surges Past $4,000Knight reports that gold has shattered the $4,000 mark, framing it as a collapse of faith in fiat currencies rather than a rise in gold's intrinsic value. He warns of a global debt time bomb and urges listeners to hold physical metals, not paper ETFs. 01:21:21 – EU Approves Mass Chat SurveillanceKnight exposes the EU's “Chat Control 2.0,” a regulation scanning all private messages under the pretext of child safety. He compares it to FDR's telegram surveillance and calls it the death of digital privacy in Europe. 01:36:33 – Lagarde Pushes Digital EuroChristine Lagarde complains democracy is too slow for the rollout of a CBDC. Knight calls her “Christine the God,” saying she and von der Leyen are accelerating Europe's technocratic takeover under the guise of efficiency. 01:37:52 – California's Pre-Hate Crime BillKnight highlights California's new hate speech law as the U.S. version of European censorship. He warns it criminalizes “potential hate” and mirrors Soviet-style repression disguised as tolerance. 01:53:08 – Outlawing Hate & Christian PersecutionKnight and callers discuss how outlawing hate only drives resentment underground. They argue Christians and white males have become the primary targets of Western censorship and discrimination campaigns. 01:57:00 – Biden's CIA Cover-Up in UkraineSegment details Biden's effort to suppress intelligence on his family's Ukrainian corruption ties while pressuring prosecutors to halt investigations—evidence of long-standing collusion between the CIA and political elites. 02:03:22 – “Precious Freedom” and the Lies of VietnamAuthor James Bradley joins to discuss his book Precious Freedom, which reexamines the Vietnam War through the eyes of both Americans and Vietnamese. He describes unraveling decades of U.S. propaganda and explains how Vietnamese victory stemmed from defending their homeland—not ideology. 02:17:03 – The Fake North–South Vietnam NarrativeBradley reveals that the U.S. and CIA fabricated the idea of “two Vietnams,” turning a temporary French withdrawal line into a false border to justify intervention. Knight compares it to modern media deception surrounding COVID and other political lies. 02:28:14 – Mothers, Media, and Awakening to WarThe character Betty, a patriotic mother, mirrors America's awakening as she discovers suppressed speeches by Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King Jr. condemning the war. Knight and Bradley discuss how media censorship concealed moral opposition. 02:37:42 – CIA, Opium, and the War MachineKnight and Bradley expose General Westmoreland's alleged role in global opium trafficking and how CIA operations in Vietnam, Laos, and Italy funded covert wars. They argue mainstream media knowingly concealed this vast corruption network. 02:40:49 – The Night War Vietnam StoryBradley explains that America never “won a single 24-hour period” in Vietnam. The Vietcong fought exclusively at night while U.S. troops retreated daily, contradicting the myth that the U.S. “won every battle.” 02:43:55 – Lessons for America's Future WarsBradley likens Ho Chi Minh to George Washington, saying defenders always win when fighting for home. Knight connects these lessons to modern U.S. interventions in Iran and Venezuela, warning that America's leaders keep repeating Vietnam's mistakes. 02:55:49 – The Real Domino TheoryKnight concludes that while America fought communism abroad, Marxism quietly conquered its schools, bureaucracy, and culture—turning the “domino theory” inward.

00:10:00 – The 10th Amendment CrisisKnight explains how Trump's use of the Insurrection Act violates state sovereignty and sets a precedent for federal militarization. Republican senators like Murkowski and Tillis express concern but remain too afraid to confront Trump directly. 00:21:13 – ICE Snipers and the War on ProtestVideo evidence shows ICE agents firing pepper balls at peaceful protesters and clergy. Knight argues this militarized policing proves Trump's contempt for civil liberties and the Bill of Rights. 00:30:44 – Artificial Integrity: Pam Bondi & Cash PatelKnight coins the term “artificial integrity” to describe Trump's loyalists like Pam Bondi and Cash Patel, accusing them of evasion, dishonesty, and political theater during congressional hearings about Comey and Epstein. 00:37:36 – Marjorie Taylor Greene Breaks with TrumpKnight highlights Greene's public statement rejecting blind loyalty to Trump and defending her independence. He praises her rare courage, contrasting it with the cowardice of most GOP officials. 00:41:00 – FBI Spies on Republican SenatorsRevelation that the FBI secretly accessed phone records of eight Republican senators triggers outrage. Knight mocks their hypocrisy for ignoring mass surveillance until it targeted them personally. 00:44:24 – Trump Jr.'s Pharma GriftTrump Jr. joins the board of a prescription delivery company set to profit from a Trump administration drug summit. Knight calls it blatant graft disguised as “health reform.” 00:52:21 – Gold Surges Past $4,000Knight reports that gold has shattered the $4,000 mark, framing it as a collapse of faith in fiat currencies rather than a rise in gold's intrinsic value. He warns of a global debt time bomb and urges listeners to hold physical metals, not paper ETFs. 01:21:21 – EU Approves Mass Chat SurveillanceKnight exposes the EU's “Chat Control 2.0,” a regulation scanning all private messages under the pretext of child safety. He compares it to FDR's telegram surveillance and calls it the death of digital privacy in Europe. 01:36:33 – Lagarde Pushes Digital EuroChristine Lagarde complains democracy is too slow for the rollout of a CBDC. Knight calls her “Christine the God,” saying she and von der Leyen are accelerating Europe's technocratic takeover under the guise of efficiency. 01:37:52 – California's Pre-Hate Crime BillKnight highlights California's new hate speech law as the U.S. version of European censorship. He warns it criminalizes “potential hate” and mirrors Soviet-style repression disguised as tolerance. 01:53:08 – Outlawing Hate & Christian PersecutionKnight and callers discuss how outlawing hate only drives resentment underground. They argue Christians and white males have become the primary targets of Western censorship and discrimination campaigns. 01:57:00 – Biden's CIA Cover-Up in UkraineSegment details Biden's effort to suppress intelligence on his family's Ukrainian corruption ties while pressuring prosecutors to halt investigations—evidence of long-standing collusion between the CIA and political elites. 02:03:22 – “Precious Freedom” and the Lies of VietnamAuthor James Bradley joins to discuss his book Precious Freedom, which reexamines the Vietnam War through the eyes of both Americans and Vietnamese. He describes unraveling decades of U.S. propaganda and explains how Vietnamese victory stemmed from defending their homeland—not ideology. 02:17:03 – The Fake North–South Vietnam NarrativeBradley reveals that the U.S. and CIA fabricated the idea of “two Vietnams,” turning a temporary French withdrawal line into a false border to justify intervention. Knight compares it to modern media deception surrounding COVID and other political lies. 02:28:14 – Mothers, Media, and Awakening to WarThe character Betty, a patriotic mother, mirrors America's awakening as she discovers suppressed speeches by Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King Jr. condemning the war. Knight and Bradley discuss how media censorship concealed moral opposition. 02:37:42 – CIA, Opium, and the War MachineKnight and Bradley expose General Westmoreland's alleged role in global opium trafficking and how CIA operations in Vietnam, Laos, and Italy funded covert wars. They argue mainstream media knowingly concealed this vast corruption network. 02:40:49 – The Night War Vietnam StoryBradley explains that America never “won a single 24-hour period” in Vietnam. The Vietcong fought exclusively at night while U.S. troops retreated daily, contradicting the myth that the U.S. “won every battle.” 02:43:55 – Lessons for America's Future WarsBradley likens Ho Chi Minh to George Washington, saying defenders always win when fighting for home.

In this powerful third appearance, bestselling author and decision strategist Annie Duke dismantles the myth that grit is always good — and makes the case for why strategic quitting is essential for success. Drawing from cognitive science, personal experience, and examples like Muhammad Ali, Dave Chappelle, and Stuart Butterfield (Slack), Duke illustrates how our obsession with persistence blinds us to opportunity costs, sunk cost fallacies, and identity traps.From failed startups to toxic jobs to long-dead relationships, this conversation explores why “quitting on time will feel like quitting too early”, and how tools like turnaround times and kill criteria can save your future. Annie also shares insights into why optimism can distort expected value, how founders sabotage themselves clinging to identity, and what Sears, a bankrupt retailer, can teach us about letting go.This episode is a reality check for dreamers, and a blueprint for making smarter, faster, braver decisions.
