The Strait of Hormuz remains under pressure, with the ceasefire fragile and oil supplies at risk, raising fears of further energy price shocks.As costs rise, questions grow over whether Ireland should reconsider nuclear energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.And while recent supports have eased tensions for now, could rising fuel costs trigger renewed protests later in the year?Guest Presenter Shane Coleman was joined by:Peter "Chap" Cleere TD, Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Agriculture & Rural AffairsJennifer Whitmore TD, Social Democrats Spokesperson for Climate & EnergyPat O'Toole, Political correspondent, Irish Farmer's Journal Megan O'Brien, Political Reporter, Business Post Hosted on Acast.

Dylan and I sat down with Jon and discussed the recent developments in the games industry, and the stuff we've been playing. We covered so much in this episode. I shared my guilty pleasure of the amazing music of the Sonic the hedgehog universe. Dylan talked about a classic game called Kameo and his recent updates in Space Marine II. Jon and I have recently been sharing our love for flight sims with Nuclear Option and Elite Dangerous. Last but not least, it would be a games episode if I didn't talk about Helldivers a little.Our Links:Ian WolffeSend us Fan Mail

Nuclear is having a global moment. But the story in Canada is a lot more complicated.David, Sara, and Ed sat down with Prof. Jason Donev of the University of Calgary for a full, unsparing look at where nuclear fits in a rapidly growing and electrifying Canadian grid.Jason is one of the clearest thinkers on energy systems in the country. He's also someone who started out opposed to nuclear and changed his mind. We set this episode up to tackle two questions. First, what is the case for new nuclear right now, given rising electricity demand from electrification, industry, and AI. And second, why Canada, despite decades of experience, has struggled to build new projects beyond Ontario and New Brunswick.A few things you'll hear about:Canada had a nuclear accident in 1952. Jimmy Carter helped clean it up.“Small” modular reactors can be up to 300 megawatts. A CANDU is closer to 700. “Small” is a relative term.Darlington's BWRX-300 is a closely watched test case for Western SMRs. Will costs fall with follow-on units, or will nuclear repeat its Achilles heel and get more expensive?It turned into a lively and wide-ranging conversation on costs, timelines, small modular reactors, and the deeper issue that keeps coming up with nuclear. The physics may be solved, but the politics and institutions are not.About Our Guest:Prof. Jason Donev is a tenured professor teaching Energy Science and Physics at the University of Calgary. He leads EnergyEducation.ca, the world's largest and most widely used energy resource for adults.  Timestamps:(00:00) Introduction(02:20) Jason's journey from nuclear skeptic to advocate(06:53) A brief history of nuclear in Canada(12:39) Canada's nuclear accident record — what really happened(17:56) The global nuclear resurgence: 40 countries, tripling by 2050(20:27) SMRs: hype vs. reality(22:58) Is nuclear being used to delay climate action?(30:09) Why Western nuclear costs are "a joke" — and what to do about it(31:57) Nuclear waste: real problem or political football?(36:06) Why nuclear needs BOTH big business AND big government(52:07) What should Canada actually do?

It is a massive Tuesday in Edmonton as the Oilers return to Rogers Place for a "do or die" Game 5. Trailing the Anaheim Ducks 3-1, there is no more room for error. The boys are back on 2 Guys & a Goalie to break down every angle of the most important game of the year.   Elimination Reality: Down 3-1, the Oilers face a mountain to climb. We discuss the mindset in the locker room and whether this group has one more legendary comeback in them. The Goalie Carousel: Tristan Jarry stood tall with 34 saves in Game 4, but that controversial OT winner has everyone talking. Does Kris Knoblauch stick with Jarry, or does he pivot back to Connor Ingram with the season on the line? Loading Up the Top Line: With the offence sputtering at 5-on-5, is it time to put Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl back together? We look at the projected lines and consider if "The Nuclear Option" is the only way to save the season. Health Watch: McDavid finally scored in Game 3, but he's clearly not at 100% after that ankle roll. We discuss how his limited mobility is changing the Oilers' power play and transition game. Plus, both McDavid and Jason Dickinson are game-time decisions. Will they play tonight? The Ducks' Blueprint: How has Anaheim managed three straight comeback wins? We look at the young stars leading the way for the Ducks and how the Oilers can finally hold a lead. NHL Scoreboard: Recapping the Penguins' miracle survival and Vegas evening things up with the Mammoth. It's all-out war at Rogers Place tonight. Let's get you ready for puck drop.   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

Trump signals he may deploy a political "nuclear option" to counter a Democrat-led redistricting push in Virginia that could flip up to four House seats. The controversial plan would redraw districts to heavily favor Democrats, potentially shifting the balance of power in Congress. With billions in political stakes and legal battles underway, both sides are escalating in what could become a defining fight over control of the   BUY CAST BREW COFFEE TO SUPPORT THE SHOW - https://castbrew.com/ Become A Member And Protect Our Work at http://www.timcast.com Host: Tim Pool @Timcast (everywhere) Guest: My Second Channel - https://www.youtube.com/timcastnews Podcast Channel - https://www.youtube.com/TimcastIRL For advertising inquiries please email sponsorships@rumble.com

There is a lot of new excitement around nuclear energy these days, and no coincidence, it comes as we face staggering energy demands from AI data centers. Now, the Trump Administration is relaxing environmental and safety regulations for new nuclear reactors. In this episode, a look at what would happen to our environment - and our energy bills - if utilities race to meet AI demand by building more nuclear reactors. Host: Amy Barrilleaux Guest: Katie Nekola, General Counsel, Clean Wisconsin  

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Senator Ron Johnson about the pushback from Minneapolis anti-ICE protesters; how Joe Biden allowed so many violent criminals to immigrate into the country; immigration enforcement and border security; DHS data on criminals in the non-detained immigrant population and concerns over public safety; claims about non-citizen voting and why Republicans must pass the SAVE Act for election integrity; the Senate filibuster and the potential use of the nuclear option; government fraud, federal spending, and the growing national debt; foreign policy priorities, a possible war with Iran; constitutional questions around sanctuary cities and federal authority, and much more.

The recent Greenland crisis at Davos 2026 has shattered transatlantic trust, forcing Europe to confront a terrifying new reality: the need for strategic autonomy from the United States. Faced with what it views as transactional coercion, Brussels is readying an arsenal of economic countermeasures, ranging from a "trade bazooka" targeting U.S. tech firms to the highly publicized "financial nuclear option"—the threat of dumping trillions in U.S. Treasuries. But before we panic about a bond market collapse, we need to examine the hard financial realities: Is weaponizing sovereign debt a viable strategy, or is it merely a macroeconomic suicide pact?

In this episode of the FreightWaves Morning Minute, we examine the escalating standoff between federal regulators and California that could paralyze the nation's largest trucking workforce. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is threatening to strip the state of its commercial licensing power over safety concerns regarding 17,000 non-domiciled licenses. Markets are also bracing for a major shift, with analysts predicting a dramatic spike in logistics mergers and acquisitions by the end of 2026,. Investors are increasingly favoring specialized tech platforms over generic brokerages, exemplified by Echo Global Logistics' recent move to acquire ITS Logistics. Finally, the nearshoring boom is driving tangible infrastructure investments along the southern border. DSV has broken ground on a massive regional headquarters in Arizona to support growing cross-border trade, joining other industry giants in expanding their footprint to capture Mexico-bound freight.

The regulatory battle between Washington and Sacramento reaches a boiling point as the ⁠DOT threatens to strip California of its authority to issue commercial driver's licenses⁠. This unprecedented "nuclear option" escalates beyond the initial dispute over non-domiciled credentials and could leave hundreds of thousands of drivers unable to operate in interstate commerce. On the weather front, the FMCSA has issued a ⁠massive 40-state regional emergency declaration⁠ to assist with relief efforts during Winter Storm Fern. While the Northeast battles snow, the Southeast faces dangerous ice storm conditions that have ⁠left over one million people without power⁠ and grounded thousands of flights. In market news, ⁠FedEx Freight prepares for its spinoff as a standalone company⁠ with a freshly assigned investment-grade credit rating. Meanwhile, Alaska Airlines leverages its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines to ⁠launch new international cargo routes into London and Rome⁠. Finally, analysts predict a ⁠dramatic rise in transportation M&A activity by late 2026⁠, though buyers remain focused on specialized carriers rather than general freight. This recovery favors companies with defensible service models while pure spot market brokerages may continue to struggle. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves NOW Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode discusses the government shutdown including the Democrats' reasons behind it and how it came to a conclusion. It also offers two solutions to prevent a future shutdown.REFERENCES:(1) Episode 11 of the Advancing the Agenda Podcast: "The Filibuster, Cloture Motion, Reconciliation, and the Nuclear Option in the U.S. Senate"(2) The 12 Appropriations Subcommittees from the Website of Congressman Mike Sampson (R-ID):Twelve Appropriations Subcommittees determine discretionary funding for government functions.  Each of these subcommittees produces one bill each year.  Subcommittees include:Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies, which oversees funding for the USDA (except the Forest Service) and other agencies;Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies, which oversees funding for the Department of Commerce, the Department of Justice, NASA, and other agencies;Defense, which oversees funding for the military, the intelligence community, and other national defense related agencies;Energy and Water Development, which oversees funding for the Department of Energy, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and other agencies;Financial Services and General Government, which oversees funding for the Department of the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President, and other government functions;Homeland Security, which oversees funding for the Department of Homeland Security;Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, which oversees funding for the Department of the Interior, the EPA, the U.S. Forest Service, and a number of independent agencies;Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, which oversees funding for the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, and other agencies;Legislative Branch, which oversees funding for the House of Representatives (the Senate Legislative Branch oversees funding for the U.S. Senate), the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress, and other legislative branch functions;Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies, which oversees funding for military construction (including military housing), the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies;State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs, which oversees funding for the U.S. State Department, USAID, and related programs;Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies, which oversees funding for the Department of Transportation, HUD, and related agencies.

President Trump is done waiting. From the Oval Office to the world stage, he's calling on Republicans to end the filibuster and push his agenda forward—warning that despite holding power across Washington, America is slipping backward. Abroad, Trump is doubling down on support for Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu, even as BiBi faces three corruption trials and new questions emerge about his alleged role in funneling funds to Hamas through Qatar.Today, geopolitical analyst Halsey English joins Joe to break down explosive new revelations that the U.S. is preparing to build a $500 million military base on the Gaza border. Is this about peacekeeping—or planting America deeper in Israel's conflicts? With 10,000 troops planned and zero transparency from Washington, the stakes for Middle East stability—and U.S. taxpayers—couldn't be higher.Then in Follow-Up Wednesday, Joe takes aim at previous stories around campus violence, societal erosion, and government corruption. From UC Berkeley's racial double standard to Senator Scott Weiner dodging real questions, and DC Draino calling out election crimes—Joe connects the dots on a system unraveling. No filter, no fear—just truth that cuts through the noise. Buckle up.

Ladies and gentlemen do not panic. Yes, the democrats won big yesterday, but they won in areas they were supposed to. Mamdani's victory speech raised some eyebrows within the democratic party as even the liberal media called a "character change" in the mayor elect of NYC. Clay Travis checks in with the Conservative Circus to talk about his new book, the election results and sports. Plus, AOC, tariffs, and for some weird reason a lot of Christmas music.

In recent days, President Trump issued two furious tirades demanding that Republicans end the Senate filibuster to reopen the government. He ranted at great length in demanding this “NOW” and exploded in all-caps while urging the “NUCLEAR OPTION.” As many noted, this undercut Republicans, revealing that they could simply end the shutdown themselves, ultimately showing that they control the government. Then Trump ranted about his horror that health care premiums are set to spike for millions. This, too, undercuts the GOP, because guess who won't extend Affordable Care Act subsidies to prevent that? Republicans! Trump's fury forced Mike Johnson into an awkward routine declaring that the president is “angry” because...the government hasn't reopened. But this just showed how disconnected Trump is from all this, highlighting the Trump-GOP refusal to do the hard work of negotiating a settlement. We talked to Fair Share America organizer Maura Quint. She discusses Trump's deep laziness, how this is perceived by low-info voters, and whether this will allow Democrats to penetrate Trump-dominated info spaces.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Blind Pakistani Christian man falsely accused of blasphemy against Muhammad Nadeem Masih, a 49-year-old blind Christian in Pakistan, has been arrested and charged with blasphemy against the false prophet Muhammad, punishable by death, reports Morning Star News. Martha Yousaf, his nearly 80-year-old mother, said that Waqas Mazhar, a Muslim man, often harasses her son, sometimes extorting money from him and other times throwing water on him or calling him names. Mazhar, the Muslim, works as a parking contractor in Lahore, where her blind son earns a meager income providing a weighing scale for petty merchants. She said, “Sometimes kindhearted visitors would also give him more money due to his disability, but the park's Muslim workers used to steal it from his pocket.” Some, including Mazhar, had also taken loans of various amounts from the Christian blind man but refused to return the money despite his repeated requests. When Masih went to work on August 21, Mazhar and other mean Muslims refused to let him set up his makeshift stall, roughed him up and took him to the police station where the police, to their shame, mercilessly beat the blind Christian man and forced him to admit to the false blasphemy charge. In John 15:18, 21, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first. …  They will treat you this way because of My name, for they do not know the One who sent Me.” Human Rights Watch said, “Blasphemy [against Muhammad] accusations are increasingly weaponized to incite mob violence, displace vulnerable communities, and seize their property with impunity.” Pakistan ranked eighth on Open Doors' 2025 World Watch List of the 50 most dangerous countries for Christians. King Charles III strips Prince Andrew of title and housing Last Thursday, King Charles III made a shock announcement  confirming that he will strip Prince Andrew, his brother, of both his title and his housing at the Royal Lodge, a lavish 30-room property, which sits in close proximity to Windsor Castle, reports the New York Post. In Andrew Lownie's biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, he documents that during a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, “Andrew had 40 prostitutes brought in the space of four days. This was all enabled by diplomats.” Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Lownie said this about Prince Andrew. LOWNIE: “He's been caught lying time and time again. I suddenly found researching my book, you couldn't take a single thing he said without checking it. And I think the King [Charles III] has realized that he hasn't been telling the truth. And so, the evidence against Andrew is overwhelming.” Plus, Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, claimed in her posthumously-released memoir, Nobody's Girl, that Prince Andrew sexually assaulted her three times when she was 17, which he has denied. Numbers 32:23 says, “Be sure your sin will find you out." Democrat Senator John Fetterman: “We have to be better than this!” On Darkins Breaking News, Democratic U.S. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania  took issue with his fellow Democrats for voting to shut down the U.S. government 13 times in a row. FETTERMAN:  “We're a Democrat, we're not allowed to just open this up. I mean, then our party has bigger problems than I thought we might have already. That's not controversial. Pay everybody. It's a failure. “And to all of the viewers, I'm apologizing that we can't even get together and just open up our government.” REPORTER: “[Minority Leader Senator Chuck] Schumer said, ‘This gets better politically every day for Democrats.'  What do you say to that?” FETTERMAN:  “Ask the hungry people on Saturday. Americans are not leverage. This is not some game show about who's winning or whatever. We have to be better than this.” As a result of the Democrats' refusal to fund the government, 41 million Americans, who receive food stamps now, will not receive them starting this past Saturday. Plus, the pleas of the largest federal workers' union fell on deaf ears, reports NBC News. Speaker Johnson contrasts Trump's wins with Democrat clowns Appearing on Sean Hannity's TV talk show, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, provided a contrast between President Trump's successes of delivering tax cuts, a strong border, a reduction in crime and world peace with the Democrats in the U.S. Senate who have voted 13 times to shut down the government. JOHNSON: “What stands out tonight is the stunning contrast of what we're seeing. History is being made. “Here's President Trump showing peace through strength, using his power and position to bring peace to the Middle East. I mean, a truly massive, historic foreign policy achievement, returning hostages, restoring security to Israel, setting a foundation for lasting peace, and reducing taxes on hard-working Americans at the same time and ending the border crisis and ending the crime crisis, and reducing fraud, waste and abuse in government, and now settling international conflicts all around the globe. “Here are the Democrats on Capitol Hill acting like a bunch of clowns. They're trying to lie to the American people. They're trying to play politics with government funding, and real Americans are being harmed. I think there is such a stark contrast. “I'm not sure there has ever been such a stronger contrast between two political parties, the Republican Party is delivering for the American people and the Democrats trying to make a show out of this.” The 13th U.S. Senate vote on October 28th was 54-45, with only three members of the Democratic caucus voting to reopen the government, reports The Hill. They include Senators John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Catherine Masto of Nevada, and Angus King of Maine, an independent who caucuses with Democrats.    It needed 60 votes to advance.  The "60-vote rule" in the Senate refers to the cloture vote needed to end a filibuster, which is a tactic that allows the minority party to delay or block legislation.  Initially, after the first cloture rule was adopted in 1917, ending a filibuster required a two-thirds majority or 67 votes. In 1975, the threshold was reduced to the current 60 votes or three-fifths majority. Trump flirts with nuclear option to end Senate filibuster President Donald Trump has flirted with the idea of the so-called nuclear option which would deep-six the cloture vote altogether, enabling the majority party to pass legislation with a simply majority vote. On TruthSocial last Thursday, he wrote, “It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD,' and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW! “WE are in power, and if we did what we should be doing, it would IMMEDIATELY end this ridiculous, country-destroying ‘SHUT DOWN.'”  However, President Trump does not appear to have enough votes from within the Republican caucus to end the filibuster. The Democratic shutdown is animated, in part, by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York's concern that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has a commanding 21 percentage point lead over Schumer in a hypothetical match-up in a Democratic Senatorial primary for 2028, reports Newsweek. This is the second longest government shutdown in American history. The longest one lasted 34 days during the first Trump administration, reports CBS News. 61 Planned Parenthood abortion centers have closed in 2025 And finally, Troy Newman, president of the pro-life group Operation Rescue, had some great news, reports LifeNews.com.  He said, “61 Planned Parenthood locations in total (including referral centers) have shut their doors since our 2024 survey — a record number.” The ripple effect of President Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill is saving lots of babies from abortion. Planned Parenthood was defunded $600 million of taxpayer money for a year which has resulted in these inevitable closures. Speaking of Prophet Jeremiah in the womb, God said, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”  (Jeremiah 1:5) That divine statement is true of each of us.

In recent days, President Trump issued two furious tirades demanding that Republicans end the Senate filibuster to reopen the government. He ranted at great length in demanding this “NOW” and exploded in all-caps while urging the “NUCLEAR OPTION.” As many noted, this undercut Republicans, revealing that they could simply end the shutdown themselves, ultimately showing that they control the government. Then Trump ranted about his horror that health care premiums are set to spike for millions. This, too, undercuts the GOP, because guess who won't extend Affordable Care Act subsidies to prevent that? Republicans! Trump's fury forced Mike Johnson into an awkward routine declaring that the president is “angry” because...the government hasn't reopened. But this just showed how disconnected Trump is from all this, highlighting the Trump-GOP refusal to do the hard work of negotiating a settlement. We talked to Fair Share America organizer Maura Quint. She discusses Trump's deep laziness, how this is perceived by low-info voters, and whether this will allow Democrats to penetrate Trump-dominated info spaces.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

In this episode, Tara unpacks Donald Trump's latest Truth Social post urging Republicans to “initiate the nuclear option” and scrap the filibuster — a move that could reshape the balance of power in Washington. She explores whether Trump means a full repeal or a targeted approach for continuing resolutions and how this strategy plays into the GOP's struggle to pass a new budget amid mounting pressure from Democrats. With holiday travel chaos looming and a $200 billion demand for illegal immigrant health care at stake, Tara highlights the high-risk political chess game unfolding in D.C. The episode closes on a festive note as listeners call in with eerie Halloween tales — proving that even in politics, there's room for a good scare.

Tara unpacks Donald Trump's explosive call for the “nuclear option” — eliminating the Senate filibuster — as political chaos brews in Washington. What started as a fight over continuing resolutions and budget control has now spiraled into a Halloween showdown over welfare abuse, border policy, and the fate of America's taxpayers. Tara breaks down shocking new numbers showing how millions of illegal immigrants are collecting U.S. benefits while private-sector job growth stalls, and she exposes how Democrats are using welfare as a weapon to build permanent political power. Plus, a lighter side — spooky Halloween stories from listeners and a look at Trump's proposed immigration overhaul that could reshape refugee priorities for good.

President Trump's trip to Asia continues to be fruitful, President Trump and the Prime Minister of Japan Sanae Takaichi signed a deal that will bring $500 Billion into the United States. The new technology prosperity deal involves both countries committed to rapid advancement of cutting-edge science and technology – including artificial intelligence (AI), quantum technology, and biotechnology. The U.S. and Japan also agreed to a new mining agreement for rare earth minerals, helping to secure the supply of these elements that are crucial to technological and mechanical innovation.

As the shutdown drags on Senator Johnson says the filibuster has prevented us from becoming as Socialist country and he is not ready to remove it at this point. The ACA subsidies that Democrats are bemoaning about are an atrociously wasteful option to prop up a flawed and failed Obamacare system.

You will be hearing a lot about motions to dismiss indictments based on the Trump Administration and DOJ's “vindictive prosecution” in violation of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the DOJ Manual. But the very FIRST such motion has been filed by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was illegally removed to El Salvador and tortured, and then had a phony indictment brought against him by Trump's DOJ. Will Judge Crenshaw order Abrego Garcia's release from federal detention on his criminal charges this week and dismiss his indictment? Michael Popok takes a hard look at the new filing and makes a stunning prediction. Thanks to Ground News!

This week, Scott sat down with Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien and Foreign Policy Editors Daniel Byman and Dana Stuster to talk through the week's big news in Israel and Iran, including:“The Nuclear Option.” Israel crossed the rubicon late last week and took direct military action against Iran's nuclear weapons program, among other targets, in an aggressive unilateral military campaign that has only expanded in the ensuing days. Iran, meanwhile, has reciprocated with volleys of attacks against Israel, some of which are getting through the substantial missile defenses Israel (and the United States) have deployed. It's the Middle East war everyone has feared for more than a decade. How will it come to an end? And what will its ramifications be for the region?“Bibi Got Back.” Israel has threatened to take direct military action against Iran over its nuclear program multiple times over the past two decades but has always stopped short. Why did Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proceed this time? And what will the implications be for his government, which has been teetering on the edge of collapse? And for his relationship with President Trump, his once close ally who declined to back his decision to proceed?“Bye-Atollah.” While Israel's official target has been Iran's nuclear and military complexes, many observers suspect that their real goal is something else: regime change. And recent reports that Netanyahu proposed killing Iranian political and spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini—but relented after objections from the Trump administration—suggest they may be right. What might Iran look like if its current regime collapses? And will it help or hurt Israeli (and U.S.) security interests?In Object Lessons, Tyler sang the praises of online radio station NTS.Live and NTS Guides to all of your quirky and eclectic musical tastes. Scott didn't miss a beat with his throwback recommendation of Schoolhouse Rock song covers, with a particular fondness for Pavement's rendition of No More Kings. And Dana shared his appreciation for analysis that takes Israel's and Iran's strategic calculus seriously.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
