What happens when the state infiltrates your most intimate relationships? How do we protect the innocence and imagination of children in an increasingly authoritarian world? “"If you have love, eventually you're going to win. It's not that people aren't going to die. It's not terrible things aren't going to happen. But if you stay with that and you stay centered in that, you'll get through and you will not have turned into a monster in order to overcome monsters.”My guest today is AL Kennedy.

It tells the story of a primary school teacher who receives a confession from an undercover police officer who infiltrated her life decades earlier. It's a provocative investigation into state power, the "Spy Cops" scandal and the search for mercy in an age of surveillance. It's a book about the breakdown of trust.

In this episode, Dr. K explains that we have forgotten the technical definition of happiness. He breaks down why chasing external objects like money or video games fails to bring lasting joy and reveals how the key to happiness is actually training a "one-pointed mind". What to expect in this episode: The Myth of Objects: Why things like burgers, promotions, or video games don't actually contain happiness, and why getting what you want often leaves you feeling empty. Defining Happiness: A technical look at happiness as a state of one-pointedness, where the mind is completely absorbed in a single activity without being distracted by external thoughts. Boredom vs. Happiness: Why boredom is the true opposite of happiness, characterized by a "fractured" mind that is constantly jumping between different distractions. The "Digital Drug" Trap: How relying on shows, games, and drugs to force our focus actually makes our minds weaker and less capable of finding peace on our own. Tolerating the Nothing: Why practicing boredom—like "raw-dogging" a long flight without a phone—is an essential exercise for building the internal strength to be happy. Clear the Mental Clutter: How "lingering thoughts" about unfulfilled goals haunt your peace of mind and why you must "do the thing" to finally stop the mental noise.HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the EVOQ Bike podcast, Brendan and Landry discuss the importance of raw power in cycling and debunk the myth that watts per kilogram (W/kg) is the ultimate metric for success. They delve into a study that follows U23 cyclists and reveals how raw power can be more critical than body weight for professional success. They also offer training tips to improve raw power, the significance of proper fueling, and maintaining a balanced body composition. Additionally, they stress the importance of focusing on watts rather than W/kg, particularly for young and amateur riders.Chapters:00:43 Welcome!00:53 The Myth of Watts per Kilo01:21 Member Shoutouts and Exclusive Content01:50 Discussion on Raw Power and Body Composition02:19 Study on U23 Riders and Pro Success04:10 Practical Advice for Riders09:23 The Role of Durability in Racing14:01 The Impact of Aerodynamics17:44 Strategies to Improve Raw Power18:41 Understanding Body Composition and Energy Deficit19:24 The Importance of Fueling for Performance20:05 Real-Life Examples of Proper Fueling21:44 The Role of Recovery in Training22:16 Long-Term Weight Management Strategies24:06 Balancing Power and Weight for Performance29:12 Personal Experiences and Practical Tips33:54 Advice for Young Athletes36:34 Final Thoughts and Resources

Is going past TBO more expensive? Plus fuel vents and turbocharger temps. Email podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to get on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full episode notes below:   Mike wonders if running past TBO actually costs more. He has a Mooney and has heard that overhauls far beyond TBO can cost more as a result of having to replace more parts. That is an oft-reported myth, Mike says. The only things that can cause an up charge on most field overhauls are having to replace the case or the crankshaft. Otherwise it's a fixed price. Paul says the top engine generally goes into the trash. On the crankshaft, they usually just have to polish it or grind it. There's no repairing a crankshaft. If it's bad, it was bad because it had some other type of problem. You can go thousands of hours on crankshafts. Mike said Lycoming had a white paper on their website that said crankshafts are generally good for 14,000 hours. Cracks on the case can be welded.   Mark has an early 182 and he's having issues with the fuel caps properly venting. He has noticed that once you fill the tanks with cold fuel, there doesn't appear to be an outflow vent. Paul said there's a small weep hole that allows the expanded fuel to vent. But Mark's tanks still aren't venting. He pulled it out but didn't seem to find a weep hole. He said it looks original and has an early Cessna part number. If the fuel is pouring out it needs to be replaced because the check valve is bad. The wing will balloon and can cause structural damage without a weep hole. He said when he removes the cap a big woosh of air will come out, indicating the fuel isn't venting out as it expands.   Jim is wondering how TIT and EGT intersect. He flies a turbo Saratoga and has been experimenting lean of peak and rich of peak. He's noticed a significant difference between EGT and TIT. If the TIT is farther away from the engine, he's wondering why it's hotter than EGT. He's also wondering how hot he can let the turbocharger get. Mike said TIT is hotter because the EGT probe is only seeing gas flow for less than a third of the time, and only when the exhaust valve is open. The EGT probe actually measures a “probe” temperature that averages the temps over time. When the gas gets to the TIT probe it's a constant heat from all cylinders all the time. Redline on his TIT is 1,650 degrees, which Mike said is a continuous operation limit. Paul asked what the exhaust system is made of because that matters. He suggests not exceeding the red line. In cruise, the lower you can keep the TITs, the longer the system will last. Mike limits his TIT to 1,600.

From Self-Focus to God-Dependence

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Randall Bock – Jonathan Leaf challenges the habit of modeling human nature on chimpanzees, arguing that the comparison distorts how we understand war, obedience, language, and belonging. He proposes that humans resemble cooperative herd animals more than violent primates, reshaping debates about evolution, identity, and social behavior...

This podcast delves into the violent contradictions at the heart of mass movements, challenging the idea of "spotless innocence." We explore how tactics of nonviolence function as a form of sacrificial violence, drawing in the State—both as a protector and a predator—and how insurgent violence acts as a "positive radical flank," forcing political concessions. From the Civil Rights Movement's reliance on federal troops to the global legacy of colonialism, discover why violence is the inevitable companion to confrontation, and why movements must seize the power to impose peace. https://www.patreon.com/blackmyths  

On this week's episode of Local Legends Martin is chatting with the author of The A-Z of Curious Flintshire, local historian David Rowe. Born and raised in Tyneside, David's love affair with Flintshire started fairly innocuously at first, as he explains in this conversation, but before long it had become clear he was addicted.While having a wife and family, and working for long periods overseas, including in Scandinavia and the Middle East, David set to studying, and researching, and became such a fixture of Flintshire's Local Historical that some people think he actually knows everything there is to know about the place.He has written three books, has completed so many acts of service, and his work is genuinely inspiring. When it came to this county there was nobody else we wanted to speak to. Thank goodness that, at almost 80 years old, David was willing to carve out some time - and what an interview!We really hope you enjoy this episode, do check back tomorrow for our March Update Episode, and we will speak to you again on Monday as well for our next County Episode, all about the historic county of Montgomeryshire!The Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Faith-at-work.mp3 The Office Mission Field: How to Integrate Faith in the Workplace Without Being “That Guy” Quick Answers What holds men back? Fear of being labeled "weird," getting reported to HR, or losing social capital often silences men from sharing their faith in the workplace. Is excellence spiritual? Yes. Your work ethic is your primary witness. You cannot have a sloppy career and a powerful testimony; they are incompatible. Do I have to preach? No. Most workplace evangelism happens through "relational equity"—building genuine friendships first, so you earn the right to speak later. What if I'm not perfect? Perfect people don't need Jesus. Admitting your mistakes and owning your failures is often a more powerful testimony than pretending to have it all together. How do I start? Start small. Pray over your meal. Mention church when asked about your weekend. Let your "faith flag" fly just enough to invite curiosity. The Monday Morning Dilemma We all know "That Guy." You've probably seen him in a movie, or maybe, unfortunately, in the cubicle next to you. He's the guy who turns a request for a stapler into a theological debate. He's the guy who leaves tracts in the breakroom microwave. He's the guy who uses "Christianese" jargon that makes everyone else uncomfortable and frankly, a little annoyed. Because we are so afraid of becoming "That Guy," most of us swing the pendulum entirely to the other side. We go silent. We become "Secret Service Christians." We clock in, keep our heads down, do our work, and clock out, leaving our faith in the workplace completely undistinguishable from the world around us. But as Joshua and TJ discussed on the podcast, this silent approach is just as dangerous as the "weird" approach. Jesus didn't call us to be undercover agents; He called us to be the light of the world. And since most of us spend the vast majority of our waking hours at work, if our light is hidden under a bushel from 9 to 5, we are missing our primary mission field. The challenge for the Uncommon man is to find the middle ground. How do we live out a vibrant, undeniable faith in the workplace that draws people in rather than pushing them away? How do we stop viewing our jobs as just a paycheck and start viewing them as a platform? The Myth of the Secular Job One of the biggest lies men believe is the divide between the "sacred" and the "secular." We think that pastors, missionaries, and worship leaders do "God's work," while the rest of us—accountants, mechanics, sales reps, project managers—just do "regular work." This is unbiblical nonsense. There is no such thing as a secular job for a believer. Everything you do is spiritual because you are spiritual. The Holy Spirit doesn't clock out when you walk into the office. Whether you are preaching a sermon or pouring concrete, Colossians 3:23 applies: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." When you shift your perspective to see your career through the lens of faith in the workplace, the mundane tasks of your day take on eternal significance. That spreadsheet isn't just data; it's a demonstration of integrity. That difficult client meeting isn't just a headache; it's an opportunity to show patience and grace. Joshua made a great point in the episode: We often think evangelism means standing on a desk and shouting repentance. But real, sustainable faith in the workplace often looks much more like quiet excellence. It looks like being the guy who doesn't complain when the project goes sideways. It looks like the boss who takes the blame but shares the credit. It looks like the employee who actually works a full 8 hours when everyone else is scrolling social media. Excellence is Your Apologetic If you want to share your faith in the workplace, you first have to be good at your job. It sounds simple, but it is profound. In a culture of "quiet quitting" and bare-minimum effort, excellence is a disruptor. Think about it. If you are lazy, unreliable, or constantly late, no one cares what you believe about Jesus. In fact, if you are a slacker who talks about God, you are actively doing damage to the Kingdom. You are giving Christ a bad name. Your coworkers will think, "If that's what a Christian is, I don't want any part of it." Competence creates curiosity. When you are excellent at what you do, you earn respect. And when you have respect, you have an audience. People will eventually ask, "Why do you work so hard? Why are you so joyful even when the quarterly numbers are down? Why didn't you panic like everyone else?" That is your open door. That is where faith in the workplace moves from abstract to concrete. You can say, "Honestly, my identity isn't tied to this job. I serve a different Master, and that gives me peace even when things are chaotic." You haven't preached a sermon, but you have planted a seed that only excellence could have cultivated. Relational Equity: Earning the Right to Speak In the podcast, TJ shared a powerful story about working in the design industry in New Orleans, a field often populated by people who live lifestyles very different from a biblical worldview. He didn't walk in on day one and start condemning people or handing out list of grievances. He built relationships. He went to lunch. He got to know them as human beings. This concept is called "relational equity." Think of it like a bank account. Every time you listen to a coworker, help them with a task, ask about their kids, or show genuine care, you are making a deposit. You are building trust. Many men try to make a "withdrawal"—sharing the Gospel or correcting a worldview—before they have made any deposits. That is when you become "That Guy." You are trying to cash a check that is going to bounce because you haven't earned the relational capital to cover it. Faith in the workplace is a long game. It requires patience. It requires you to actually love the people you work with, not just view them as projects to be converted. When your coworkers know that you genuinely care about them, they will be infinitely more open to hearing about what makes you tick. TJ mentioned that when he would go back to work on Monday, and people asked, "What did you do this weekend?", he wouldn't hide it. He would say, "I went to church," or "I served with my community group." He didn't make a big deal out of it, but he didn't scrub it from his life either. Over time, that consistency builds a reputation. People start to associate you with your faith in the workplace naturally. They know who you are. And when a crisis hits—a divorce, a diagnosis, a death in the family—guess whose desk they come to? They come to the guy who has been steady. They come to the guy who has hope. The "Fruit" Check: Do You Look Like the World? Here is the hard truth: You cannot share faith in the workplace if you look, act, and sound exactly like the world. If you are gossiping in the breakroom, you have lost your witness. If you are complaining about the boss behind his back, you have lost your witness. If you are getting drunk at the company happy hour, you have lost your witness. If you are fudging the numbers on your expense report, you have lost your witness. Jesus said, "By their fruit you will recognize them." Your coworkers are fruit inspectors. They are watching you closer than you think. They are waiting to see if your faith is real or if it's just a Sunday morning hobby. Living out faith in the workplace means holding yourself to a higher standard. It means having integrity when no one is watching. It means choosing your words carefully. As the podcast highlighted, this doesn't mean you have to be a prude or judgmental. You can still be fun. You can still joke around. But there is a line. When everyone else is tearing someone down, you stay silent or offer a different perspective. When everyone else is panicking, you bring a calming presence. These small, daily decisions accumulate. They create a distinct aroma of Christ. TJ noted that in the creative field, he worked with many gay colleagues. He didn't affirm everything they did, but he loved them. He treated them with dignity. And because of that, they respected him. They knew he was a Christian. They knew where he stood. But they also knew he wasn't hateful. That balance—truth and love—is the hallmark of mature faith in the workplace. Vulnerability vs. Perfection One of the reasons men hesitate to share their faith is the fear of hypocrisy. We think, "I'm not perfect. I lose my temper. I make mistakes. Who am I to talk about Jesus?" But here is the secret: Your perfection is not the point. In fact, pretending to be perfect pushes people away because everyone knows it's a lie. No one relates to a plastic saint. Real faith in the workplace is displayed most powerfully in how you handle failure. When you screw up—and you will—do you blame others? Do you make excuses? Or do you own it? Imagine the impact of a leader who says, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to you that way. I apologize. Will you forgive me?" That is counter-cultural. That is Uncommon. The world teaches us to cover our tracks and shift blame. The Gospel teaches us to confess and seek restoration. When you apologize, you are demonstrating the Gospel. You are showing that you are a sinner in need of grace, just like everyone else. This vulnerability makes your faith in the workplace accessible. It shows that Christianity isn't about being better than everyone else; it's about being forgiven. Practical Steps to Integrate Faith in the Workplace So, how do we move from theory to action? You don't need to quit your job and become a missionary. You just need to be intentional. Here are five practical ways to start exercising your faith in the workplace this week: 1.

It's the trend that has club doctors and old-school defenders losing sleep: the rise of the "micro" shin pad. From Jack Grealish's low-sock swagger to Florian Wirtz's soap-bar-sized protection, we investigate why the world's most expensive legs are being left exposed. Are these tiny guards a legitimate performance hack for agility and ball feel, or just a dangerous fashion statement? We look at the grassroots bans sweeping the UK, the "Old Guard" (Ronaldo/Messi) approach to safety, and the IFAB loophole that lets players swap carbon fiber for credit-card-sized plastic.

Women are still being told that fatigue, anxiety, heavy bleeding, mood swings, and brain fog are “just part of aging.” But what if they're symptoms of perimenopause and no one is connecting the dots?  Stacy sits down with hormone therapy pioneer Dr. Marcia Harris to separate myth from science around aging, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and midlife mental health. With more than 40 years of experience, Dr. Harris explains how the Women's Health Initiative study reshaped menopause care for decades, why many physicians stopped being properly trained in hormone therapy, and how that gap continues to leave women dismissed and misdiagnosed. They unpack the difference between perimenopause and menopause, why anxiety and exhaustion are often hormonal, not personal, and how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone impact heart health, bone density, muscle mass, brain function, and overall vitality.

We put it through its paces with annotation-based editing, slide generation, and yes, the return of the legendary horse egg experiment.Plus: Google quietly kills Gemini-3 after just a few months (good riddance?), we discuss why the model was "dead on arrival" for agentic workflows, and break down the real story behind those massive AI layoff announcements from Block and WiseTech. Spoiler: it's probably not actually about AI.We also get into the current state of the model wars (Opus 4.6 vs Codex 5.3), why smaller models like GLM-5 might be the future for enterprise agentic tasks, and Chris's wife teaching Claude to literally speak to her using Mac's text-to-speech.

Are you naturally a rule-follower, or do you tend to balk at rules? Brian Delamont joins co-hosts Keane and Heather for a conversation about how God's commands are given in the context of relationship and for our flourishing. "We're created by God to be flourishing and to be in relationship with Him. If we go back to God's original creation, if we go to the garden, in His perfect design God gives us guardrails." - Brian "There's a difference between blind or obligatory compliance and truly joyful obedience." - Heather Genesis 2:16-17 Deuteronomy 5:32-33 "We become the rulemakers rather than actually living in the good things that God has for us." - Brian Romans 2:1 "If in following the commands that God has given us, we are portraying a life that is boring or [...] condemning of others, then we're not actually perpetuating the reality of who God is and our relationship with Him." - Heather Romans 2:14 "God's kindness is intended to lead us to repentance. Do we show that to other people, or do we show contempt for the way that God shows kindness to those people compared to how He shows kindness to us?" - Keane Titus 2:11-13 "We do say 'no' to some things because by saying 'no' to those things, it helps us to live the way that God wants us to live right here, right now, in this present age. Yet, we also know we are waiting for more." - Brian "God is calling me deeper into knowing Him, and part of knowing Him is obeying Him." - Heather Luke 11:37-46 John 14:15-18 "Jesus is asking the Father to send the very power and insight and discernment and understanding we need to keep His commands by sending His Holy Spirit to live in us and guide us into all truth." - Brian "What is actually so distinct about the rules that God gives [...] is that they are about relationship." - Heather "We're not just made to follow these rules; these rules were made in order to help us." - Keane Galatians 5:22-23 Deuteronomy 6:4-9 "What He wants us to do is what He knows is for our good, and that is to be infused with His Word." - Brian Deuteronomy 5:12-13 February Reflection: How do I see God when I think about rule-following - disappointment or lenience? How do I see myself in relationship to God - earning God's favor or leaning on His grace?

Even those who do not know much Yiddish have probably heard the word “shtetl,” but what does that word mean exactly? Can we just say that it was a small town in Eastern Europe with a lot of Jews—and leave it at that? Or was the shtetl that nostalgic world of “tradition” so lovingly celebrated in Fiddler on the Roof? How are we to understand imaginary shtetls like Sholom Aleichem's Kasrilevke, where the “little people” ran around, talked non stop, and tried to make sense of a world they could no longer understand or control? Indeed the “shtetl” meant many things to many people. For many Zionists and Jewish leftists, the shtetl was a pathetic symbol of Jewish backwardness. Others cherished it as a place of real Jewishness, that fixed point that gave Jews in the diaspora the feeling of being home. The destruction of the Holocaust encouraged this nostalgia for the lost shtetl, especially as many Jews in the post-war world, newly comfortable and secure in their new homes, showed a new interest in their ethnic roots. In this lecture, YIVO Visiting Research Historian Samuel Kassow will explore the “real shtetl” and the “imagined shtetl,” which both formed an integral part of Eastern European Jewish peoplehood.

WE'RE BACK! In the first episode of our second season, we trace the story of Tituba, an enslaved Indigenous woman and the first person accused of witchcraft in 1692. With the help of historian Matt Alschbach, we examine her story within the broader context of seventeenth-century folk medicine, race, and Puritan theology, exploring how fear breeds suspicion, and how suspicion so often settles on the margins. If you're interested in joining host Greg Houle for his live online course, The Salem Witch Trials: Fear, Myth & Meaning, you can register here. You can also explore Greg Houle's historical novel, The Putnams of Salem: A Novel of Power and Betrayal During the Salem Witch Trials available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook formats.

During the State of the Union, Donald Trump pitched his "Save America Act" as a simple bill to secure elections. He lied. In this video, Marc Elias breaks down the text of the bill to reveal a much darker reality: a plan that doesn't just suppress votes, but fundamentally redefines voting from a right into a "privilege" controlled by the powerful.The "Save America Act" isn't about election integrity—it's an authoritarian wish list. From banning mail-in voting to imposing impossible "proof of citizenship" requirements, this legislation is designed to give one man King-like control over who gets to participate in American democracy.Support Democracy Docket's mission:https://newsletters.democracydocket.com/anchor-youtube-thursdayFollow Democracy Docket:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/democracydocket.comInstagram⁠: https://instagram.com/democracydocketFacebook⁠: https://facebook.com/democracydocketX/Twitter⁠: https://twitter.com/DemocracyDocketTikTok⁠: https://tiktok.com/@democracydocketThreads: https://www.threads.net/@democracydocket00:00 Why You Didn't Need to Watch the State of the Union00:58 The Real Threat Buried in the State of the Union03:37 Trump Pushes the “Save America Act”06:32 The Myth of Non-Citizen Voting09:24 The Truth About Voter ID Laws14:35 Proof of Citizenship and Mass Disenfranchisement21:20 The Line That Gave It Away: Voting Is a “Privilege”25:13 Why Redefining Voting Changes Everything28:54 Trump Pressures the Senate to Act First32:07 The Media, the GOP, and What Happens Next

You can't outrun a bad diet—but it turns out you might not even be able to outrun a good one. In this episode of A Whole New Level, evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Herman Pontzer joins Mike Haney to dismantle the "armchair view" of metabolism and explain why more exercise doesn't necessarily mean more calories burned.Drawing on his groundbreaking research with the Hadza hunter-gatherer community and global meta-analyses, Dr. Pontzer explains the Constrained Energy Model: the phenomenon where our bodies hit a metabolic ceiling and begin "trading off" energy from vital systems like immunity and reproduction to account for physical activity. This conversation reframes weight loss not as a simple math problem of "calories in vs. calories out," but as a dynamic, evolutionary balancing act.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: ⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠In this episode, we cover:The Myth of Additive Energy: Why adding a 300-calorie run to your day doesn't actually result in 300 extra calories burned over the long term.The Hadza Paradox: How hunter-gatherers who walk miles every day burn the same amount of total energy as sedentary Westerners.Metabolic Trading: How your body "pays" for exercise by dialing down inflammation, stress responses, and reproductive hormones.The Business of the Body: Why the human body acts less like a simple machine and more like a corporation reallocating a limited budget.The "Set Point" Debate: Whether our bodies are tracking pounds on a scale or the flow of energy in the gut.Practical Weight Management: Why diet is the primary tool for weight, while exercise is the primary tool for everything else.

What's your favourite Love Song?On this month's episode of Forgotten Melodies, to cap off February, we're chatting about our own, and digging into and performing three iconic folk songs about love. These new arrangements are of Cupid the Pretty Plough Boy, Green Bushes and No John No, including our friend Katie Sommers singing soprano parts, plus Martin, Ben and Eleanor chatting about the history and context of each tune.From the roots of the Love Ballad in the Middle East and north Africa via Renaissance poetry and the blooming of comic opera, the Love Songs of today have been on a long journey of evolution.And yet, has the nature of love really changed so much across the centuries?Have we lost things in the mission to make some of these songs 'Drawing Room Safe?'And can Ben ever explain the Dorian Mode in a way Martin will understand?!We hope you enjoy listening to us chewing over these questions and much more beside - and this clutch of brighter songs as the weather brightens into spring.Speak to you again on Saturday, with this week's Local Legends interview with David Rowe, and again on Sunday for our March Update episode!The Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

In this season of Lent we are giving up doomscrolling. But do we have Sunday off? We may have uncovered a local Catholic schism that is changing the way Ann views Lent. Watch the podcast to find out the truth and please use the comments to let us know what you are giving up for Lent and whether it includes Sunday. And Tucker needs to find himself another sucker. We bring you the truth about his misleading interview with US Ambassador Mike Huckabee. And the truth about Israeli security harassing him and his Producer. It's just a normal part of travel to Israel and not harassment. Watch the show to hear how we turned the tables (in a good way) on a ferocious Israeli airport security officer. It turned sweet in the end. You can also read about it in our latest substack (linked below).And as we always suspected - the idea that California is in permanent drought and needs expensive regulations to fix it - is complete nonsense. And this week we speak to the researcher who has uncovered the scandal. It's a huge story.And we're starting a new recurring segment called “the most ridiculous headline”. Ann gets the ball rolling with a hilarious but terrifyingly serious piece from the National Post. And please like and subscribe wherever you get our content. We can't read your mind but we can read your comments which we love. And we may even show some of them on the air!OCTOBER 7 the play was a huge success at the Trump Kennedy Center!

It's becoming increasingly obvious that Trump's mountain of broken promises, radical foreign policy decisions and unorthodox economic policies are causing deep damage to his MAGA brand.Last week the Supreme Court, with three Trump appointees, ruled against Trump's use of IEEPA to issue tariffs.The court's ruling was only one of many failures for Trump last week as newly revised jobs data showed a major contraction in the labor market last year. The trade deficit in 2025 showed little improvement despite Trump's widespread use of tariffs and the fourth quarter GDP reading was well below expectations.According to multiple polls Americans have tired of Trump's harsh immigration policies, and military threats to foreign countries. Most voters have no interest in conquering Greenland, crushing Cuba, managing Venezuela or invading Iran.Grocery prices and utility bills remain elevated while Trump gaslights the American public insisting that costs for everything have dropped dramatically. Health insurance premiums for millions of Americans have dramatically increased while SNAP and Medicaid benefits have been cut.Meanwhile the president remains obsessed with his gigantic White House ballroom and plans for an oversized monumental arch built in his honor.The glorious leader has lost support among nearly every demographic except for his cultish base of supporters. There are even signs that diehard MAGA fans are losing faith.Underneath all of the spin more sinister details surrounding Trump's possible involvement with Jeffrey Epstein's many heinous crimes and sex trafficking operation remains.Fox News is desperate to keep the Trump myth alive either by ignoring stories that make the president look bad or spending excessive amounts of coverage on segments that aren't political.One sign of the network's panicked approach was the fact that Barack Obama's name appeared 74 times in the transcripts last week.
