Spencer Pratt joins Bill Maher on Club Random for a conversation that's equal parts mayoral campaign launch, Los Angeles postmortem, and classic Spencer Pratt reinvention tour. Spencer explains why losing his home in the Palisades fire pushed him to consider a run for mayor, lays out his ideas for homelessness, public safety, and city government, and makes the case that he might be exactly the unconventional leader Los Angeles needs—or at least the one willing to talk about it the most. Along the way, Spencer reflects on life after The Hills, receiving death threats, protecting his family, losing a thriving crystal business during the pandemic, and finding a new sense of purpose while somehow turning nearly every conversation into a campaign stop.

Bill Maher welcomes legendary singer-songwriter Paul Anka for a conversation packed with stories that sound almost too wild to be true. From helping bring The Beatles to America before Beatlemania exploded, to partying with the Rat Pack in steam rooms full of Vegas showgirls, to learning of JFK's assassination while performing behind the Iron Curtain in communist Poland, Anka has lived a life that reads like historical fiction.But this isn't just Hollywood lore and old Vegas chaos. Bill and Paul dig into the craft of songwriting: why the simplest melodies last forever, what made Frank Sinatra both magnetic and impossible, and how Barry White could seduce a room with a single note. Anka also opens up about reinventing himself with his cult-classic Rock Swings album, surviving massive cultural shifts across generations, and why true artists never stop evolving.

This is the sixth in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  The hunt for Bin Laden cools after he managed to escape US forces in Tora Bora, but that doesn't stop America from expanding the War on Terror.  Beyond an endless war against an impossible to defeat idea, the conflict tested America's core ideas:  Freedom of Speech, Freedom from Torture, Due Process and extrajudicial killings.  The war in Afghanistan, the War in Iraq, and the Presidencies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama are each discussed in detail.  Contact the show at resourcesbylowery@gmail.com or on Bluesky @EmpiresPod If you would like to financially support the show, please use the following paypal link.

This episode is part journalism, part therapy, part "girl WHAT?!" Today's guest, Melanie Marshall, is a former BBC foreign journalist turned filmmaker, speaker, and coach who has reported from some of the most intense places on earth. And somehow… despite seeing humanity at its messiest, she still believes people are mostly good.  Some of the things you'll hear: -The wildly unexpected way radicalized followers of Osama Bin Laden welcomed her into an interview shortly after his death -What actually creates human connection when people disagree on literally everything -Why she repeatedly ignored her boss's instructions, chased stories anyway, and somehow ended up with life-changing moments… and a goat -Stories that prove women across the world are a lot more alike than we think, even in radically different circumstances -The time she got smacked repeatedly with a feather duster by a man, plus the moment she relied on her single greatest survival skill to get herself out of danger Melanie tells stories the way your funniest friend would if your funniest friend also casually wandered through war zones, political unrest, and deeply human moments while carrying BBC equipment. It's equal parts hilarious, eye-opening, uncomfortable, hopeful, and "HOW IS THIS A REAL STORY?" energy.

Tweetable Comments  "She impacted me, she impacted my friend, she impacted all of these people with her goodness and her fiery spirit. She lived." "If you think about the different stages that you get to in your career and  when you reach a new one, you realize, 'oh, they're all people'" "I am grateful that I have let myself be impacted so much by the people I have met because I feel a gift and a responsibility to let what I have learned from them go forward." "I am not the lady in a sheet. I am the boss." "The story wasn't over. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't over. And that's where I get hope."   Note: This transcript has been edited and condensed for clarity, readability, and length.  In this episode of Because Work Doesn't Have to Suck, Erin sits down with former BBC foreign journalist Melanie Marshall to talk about leadership, courage, connection, resilience, and why she still believes humanity is fundamentally good after reporting from some of the world's most dangerous places. From interviewing extremists in Pakistan to reporting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and the Philippines, Melanie shares unforgettable stories about human connection, optimism, fear, and what really helps people survive difficult moments.          Why Melanie Marshall Still Believes in Humanity     Erin: You've seen some of the worst parts of the world, yet your message is still rooted in hope and optimism. That feels almost impossible right now.     Melanie: I know optimism gets eye rolls these days. But what I've learned traveling the world is this: if you let it, the world will humble you. It'll break your heart. But it also teaches you that people are far more complicated, funny, resilient, and loving than headlines make them seem.     I've spent years in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Gaza. Even in places under terrible oppression, people still laugh. They still flirt. They still joke. They still find joy behind closed doors. Human beings don't stop being human just because circumstances become horrific.     That's where my optimism comes from. The story is hard, but it's not over.          Meeting Followers of Osama Bin Laden     Erin: Tell us about the experience you had just after Osama Bin Laden was killed.     Melanie: We went to Pakistan shortly after his death because I wanted audiences to understand something important: Bin Laden wasn't just a man. He represented a movement.     We arranged to meet with radicalized followers of his in Karachi. I was nervous. Deeply nervous. Externally, I looked calm. Internally, I was thinking, "Am I completely insane for doing this?"     As we drove up, I heard children playing. We were meeting at a school.     That immediately lowered my fear level because they had intentionally chosen a setting they knew would make us feel safer. Then we walked in and the welcoming committee was wearing USA baseball caps.     These were people whose ideology I completely rejected, but they were trying to communicate something human: "You're safe here."     That moment changed how I think about connection. Even in situations where people fundamentally disagree, humans still look for ways to create understanding.          "Be As Normal As Possible"     Melanie: One phrase I've used throughout my career is: "Be as normal as possible."     I used it walking into Taliban prisons. I used it in war zones. And honestly, it applies to corporate life too.     If you're about to walk into a terrifying meeting with a VP or ask for a raise, don't pressure yourself to be perfectly poised or fearless. It's not a normal situation.     Just be as normal as possible. A little awkwardness is fine.          The Currency Everyone Wants     Melanie: I met a young woman in Gaza who created art sculptures out of sand because that was the only material available to her.     What she wanted most wasn't pity. She wanted to be seen.     I told her her work reminded me of art I'd seen in California. That mattered to her because it acknowledged she belonged in the same conversation as artists everywhere else in the world.     Erin: I always say everyone has a currency. Usually it's much smaller and simpler than we think.     Melanie: Exactly. Most people just want acknowledgment, respect, or connection.          The Woman Who Changed Her Life     Melanie: One of the people who impacted me most was a woman named Ghada in Mosul, Iraq.     She was funny, independent, ambitious, and full of life. We instantly connected. We joked about men, talked about work, laughed constantly.     She was also exactly the kind of woman extremists hated: outspoken, educated, joyful, politically active.     At one point she escaped Mosul, but she went back because she didn't want to leave her father behind.     ISIS killed her.     What stays with me is that even while living under horrific conditions, she remained hopeful. Loving. Funny. Fully alive.     That changed me forever.          Why Connection Matters More Than Status     Melanie: I've interviewed celebrities, billionaires, world leaders, and people no one has ever heard of.     The people who changed me most were usually the latter.     Connection matters more than status. Once you really sit down with someone, the hierarchy starts disappearing. They're just people.     And I think we forget that constantly.          The Feather Duster Incident     Melanie: I once visited an extremely conservative shrine near the Iranian border where modesty rules were intensely enforced.     I was trying to manage my reporting team while also wearing a chador that kept slipping off my head. Every time even the tiniest strand of hair showed, a man would smack me with a feather duster.     Eventually I was furious. Absolutely furious.     And then a group of women saw what was happening.     They didn't confront the man directly. Instead, they surrounded me, fixed my chador, sat me down, and pulled out snacks.     That moment stuck with me forever.     Women see each other. They protect each other. Sometimes survival looks like forming a circle around someone and handing them food.          Bravery Isn't What People Think     Erin: People constantly describe you as brave.     Melanie: I honestly don't think I'm brave. I think I'm good at functioning during chaos.     There's a difference.     I've run from airstrikes in Ukraine. I've dropped to the ground while bullets flew overhead in Libya. I assure you: I was not standing there heroically.     Most people aren't fearless. They simply have a purpose bigger than their fear.     Families survive war zones because protecting their children matters more than panic. I kept reporting because I believed it mattered to connect people with the truth of what was happening.     Purpose propels you forward.          The Story Wasn't Over     Melanie: After covering devastating typhoon damage in the Philippines, I left feeling overwhelmed with guilt because I could leave and everyone else had to stay behind.     Years later, I stayed in touch with the local drivers and families we worked with there. I watched their children graduate school. I watched them rebuild their lives.     That experience taught me something important: the story wasn't over just because I left during the worst part.     We do this in our own lives too. We assume difficult moments are final chapters when they're often just hard middle sections.          Bucking the Norm in Afghanistan     Melanie: I once fought hard to report from one of the most remote regions of Afghanistan because I wanted to document what childbirth looked like in the most dangerous place in the world to give birth.     My bosses kept trying to convince us not to go.     We went anyway.     The journey was brutal. Multiple flat tires. Dangerous mountain roads. A clinic fire in the middle of the night. At one point villagers handed my bra around after rescuing our belongings from the fire, which became an entire cultural misunderstanding on its own.     Eventually, a woman arrived at the clinic to give birth. Her baby died, but she survived, and she was relieved simply to have lived.     That story changed how people understood maternal healthcare in Afghanistan because we insisted on going all the way to where the story actually lived.     Sometimes bucking the norm simply means refusing to stop halfway.          Final Thoughts on Hope     Melanie: The world can be heartbreaking. Truly heartbreaking.     But everywhere I've gone, I've also found humor, generosity, resilience, love, and connection.     That's why I still believe in people.     The story is difficult. But it isn't finished yet.

"I am not the lady in a sheet. I am the boss." "The story wasn't over. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't over. And that's where I get hope."   Note: This transcript has been edited and condensed for clarity, readability, and length.  In this episode of Because Work Doesn't Have to Suck, Erin sits down with former BBC foreign journalist Melanie Marshall to talk about leadership, courage, connection, resilience, and why she still believes humanity is fundamentally good after reporting from some of the world's most dangerous places. From interviewing extremists in Pakistan to reporting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and the Philippines, Melanie shares unforgettable stories about human connection, optimism, fear, and what really helps people survive difficult moments.          Why Melanie Marshall Still Believes in Humanity     Erin: You've seen some of the worst parts of the world, yet your message is still rooted in hope and optimism. That feels almost impossible right now.     Melanie: I know optimism gets eye rolls these days. But what I've learned traveling the world is this: if you let it, the world will humble you. It'll break your heart. But it also teaches you that people are far more complicated, funny, resilient, and loving than headlines make them seem.     I've spent years in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Gaza. Even in places under terrible oppression, people still laugh. They still flirt. They still joke. They still find joy behind closed doors. Human beings don't stop being human just because circumstances become horrific.     That's where my optimism comes from. The story is hard, but it's not over.          Meeting Followers of Osama Bin Laden     Erin: Tell us about the experience you had just after Osama Bin Laden was killed.     Melanie: We went to Pakistan shortly after his death because I wanted audiences to understand something important: Bin Laden wasn't just a man. He represented a movement.     We arranged to meet with radicalized followers of his in Karachi. I was nervous. Deeply nervous. Externally, I looked calm. Internally, I was thinking, "Am I completely insane for doing this?"     As we drove up, I heard children playing. We were meeting at a school.     That immediately lowered my fear level because they had intentionally chosen a setting they knew would make us feel safer. Then we walked in and the welcoming committee was wearing USA baseball caps.     These were people whose ideology I completely rejected, but they were trying to communicate something human: "You're safe here."     That moment changed how I think about connection. Even in situations where people fundamentally disagree, humans still look for ways to create understanding.          "Be As Normal As Possible"     Melanie: One phrase I've used throughout my career is: "Be as normal as possible."     I used it walking into Taliban prisons. I used it in war zones. And honestly, it applies to corporate life too.     If you're about to walk into a terrifying meeting with a VP or ask for a raise, don't pressure yourself to be perfectly poised or fearless. It's not a normal situation.     Just be as normal as possible. A little awkwardness is fine.          The Currency Everyone Wants     Melanie: I met a young woman in Gaza who created art sculptures out of sand because that was the only material available to her.     What she wanted most wasn't pity. She wanted to be seen.     I told her her work reminded me of art I'd seen in California. That mattered to her because it acknowledged she belonged in the same conversation as artists everywhere else in the world.     Erin: I always say everyone has a currency. Usually it's much smaller and simpler than we think.     Melanie: Exactly. Most people just want acknowledgment, respect, or connection.          The Woman Who Changed Her Life     Melanie: One of the people who impacted me most was a woman named Ghada in Mosul, Iraq.     She was funny, independent, ambitious, and full of life. We instantly connected. We joked about men, talked about work, laughed constantly.     She was also exactly the kind of woman extremists hated: outspoken, educated, joyful, politically active.     At one point she escaped Mosul, but she went back because she didn't want to leave her father behind.     ISIS killed her.     What stays with me is that even while living under horrific conditions, she remained hopeful. Loving. Funny. Fully alive.     That changed me forever.          Why Connection Matters More Than Status     Melanie: I've interviewed celebrities, billionaires, world leaders, and people no one has ever heard of.     The people who changed me most were usually the latter.     Connection matters more than status. Once you really sit down with someone, the hierarchy starts disappearing. They're just people.     And I think we forget that constantly.          The Feather Duster Incident     Melanie: I once visited an extremely conservative shrine near the Iranian border where modesty rules were intensely enforced.     I was trying to manage my reporting team while also wearing a chador that kept slipping off my head. Every time even the tiniest strand of hair showed, a man would smack me with a feather duster.     Eventually I was furious. Absolutely furious.     And then a group of women saw what was happening.     They didn't confront the man directly. Instead, they surrounded me, fixed my chador, sat me down, and pulled out snacks.     That moment stuck with me forever.     Women see each other. They protect each other. Sometimes survival looks like forming a circle around someone and handing them food.          Bravery Isn't What People Think     Erin: People constantly describe you as brave.     Melanie: I honestly don't think I'm brave. I think I'm good at functioning during chaos.     There's a difference.     I've run from airstrikes in Ukraine. I've dropped to the ground while bullets flew overhead in Libya. I assure you: I was not standing there heroically.     Most people aren't fearless. They simply have a purpose bigger than their fear.     Families survive war zones because protecting their children matters more than panic. I kept reporting because I believed it mattered to connect people with the truth of what was happening.     Purpose propels you forward.          The Story Wasn't Over     Melanie: After covering devastating typhoon damage in the Philippines, I left feeling overwhelmed with guilt because I could leave and everyone else had to stay behind.     Years later, I stayed in touch with the local drivers and families we worked with there. I watched their children graduate school. I watched them rebuild their lives.     That experience taught me something important: the story wasn't over just because I left during the worst part.     We do this in our own lives too. We assume difficult moments are final chapters when they're often just hard middle sections.          Bucking the Norm in Afghanistan     Melanie: I once fought hard to report from one of the most remote regions of Afghanistan because I wanted to document what childbirth looked like in the most dangerous place in the world to give birth.     My bosses kept trying to convince us not to go.     We went anyway.     The journey was brutal. Multiple flat tires. Dangerous mountain roads. A clinic fire in the middle of the night. At one point villagers handed my bra around after rescuing our belongings from the fire, which became an entire cultural misunderstanding on its own.     Eventually, a woman arrived at the clinic to give birth. Her baby died, but she survived, and she was relieved simply to have lived.     That story changed how people understood maternal healthcare in Afghanistan because we insisted on going all the way to where the story actually lived.     Sometimes bucking the norm simply means refusing to stop halfway.          Final Thoughts on Hope     Melanie: The world can be heartbreaking. Truly heartbreaking.     But everywhere I've gone, I've also found humor, generosity, resilience, love, and connection.     That's why I still believe in people.     The story is difficult. But it isn't finished yet.

Bill Maher sits down with Black Eyed Peas frontman and tech innovator will.i.am for a wildly unpredictable conversation about AI, creativity, and the future of humanity. From teaching AI and “agentic systems” at ASU to debating hallucinating chatbots and whether aliens are already here, will.i.am challenges Bill's fears about technology while admitting the next decade could get chaotic if humans don't become more humane. The two also get into cancel culture, why the Black Eyed Peas pulled “Let's Get Retarded” from streaming platforms, China vs. America, and generational anxiety. Will also opens up about the panic attack that changed his life after smoking weed in 1993 and why education, not outrage, is the real solution to inequality.

Stew breaks down the news of the day, including how Dan Bilzerian is forcing Randy Fine to pretend he suddenly wants to end foreign aid to Israel and ban dual-citizens from holding a seat in congress. Total lie. I'm joined by former SEAL Team 6 Senior Chief Petty Officer Rob O'Neill — the legendary Navy veteran who killed Osama bin Laden — for a hard-hitting expert breakdown of Charlie Kirk's murder, exposing why the official "lone wolf with a 30-06" story doesn't add up and what the shocking video truly reveals.

Bill Maher sits down with Senator John Fetterman for a brutally candid conversation with no loyalty tests and no easy answers. From Trump, media outrage cycles, and Democratic Party infighting to Israel, Iran, immigration, cancel culture, and the death of political nuance, Maher and Fetterman dive headfirst into the forces pulling America apart — and why so many voters feel politically homeless right now. Fetterman opens up about surviving his stroke, the backlash he's taken from both the left and the right, and why he refuses to perform partisan outrage just to earn applause. He talks about how his support for Israel after October 7 fractured relationships within his own party, why Democrats continue losing working-class voters, and what many on the left still fail to understand about Trump's appeal.

It's been 15 years since the U.S. found and killed the world's most notorious terrorist, Osama bin Laden. Compass Points moderator Nick Schifrin continues last week's conversation with Mark Kelton, the CIA's station chief in Pakistan at the time, for more on the raid and its fallout.

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Fifteen years after the death of Osama Bin Laden united Americans in celebration, the possible collapse of Iran's regime reveals deep division across the United States. As tensions rise in the Middle East, questions grow over terrorism, nuclear threats, and whether the world is finally witnessing the end of a decades-long global adversary...

This is the fourth in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  Al Qaeda had officially declared war, but left the next move up to the United States.  It was here that Bill Clinton (and then George W. Bush) would come up short.  Despite the Bin Laden Task force screaming for action, the Monica Lewinsky affair and Hollywood's decision to release 'Wag the Dog' starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert DeNiro, took precedent.    Contact the show at resourcesbylowery@gmail.com or on Bluesky @EmpiresPod If you would like to financially support the show, please use the following paypal link.

Bill Maher welcomes sex neuroscientist and author Debra Soh to tackle a blunt question: what broke modern intimacy—and can it be fixed? Drawing from her book SEXTINCTION: The Decline of Sex and the Future of Intimacy, Soh breaks down the forces quietly reshaping connection: early exposure to extreme porn, AI companions and sex robots, swipe-driven dating culture, and why some wear it like a badge of honor. The conversation moves from unrealistic dating standards (yes, the “6-6-6 rule”) to the widening divide between men and women fueled by social media. They also push into tougher territory: gender ideology, youth transition, and why many Western countries are hitting pause while parts of the U.S. accelerate.

A deep tactical breakdown of the Bin Laden raid as depicted in Zero Dark Thirty, separating cinematic storytelling from real-world special operations execution. This episode analyzes room clearing, vertical movement, and target identification through the lens of disciplined CQB and mission planning. Built for operators and serious students of warfare, it reveals what Hollywood gets right—and what it leaves out when everything is on the line.

Bill Maher sits down with David Cross and what starts as loose, slightly irreverent banter turns into one of those conversations where you realize—oh right, nobody actually agrees on anything anymore. Especially when it comes to “cancel culture.” Is it real? Is it exaggerated? Or is it just what we call it now when the crowd turns on you?David gets into the Netflix sketch that vanished, while Bill draws the line between being actually canceled and just not getting invited back—which, let's be honest, are very different things. They get into comedy, where the line is (or isn't), and why both sides seem to have lost their sense of humor.Along the way: Charlie Manson, Elvis, Brando, the grind of touring, getting older, and the brutal reality of knowing when it's time to let a dog go.

So Stripe has been fighting with me all year over ANC Report. Sad news is they will no longer allow me to accept payments from Peasants to Rainbow Frogs. So if you were A Peasant, Artisan, Knight, Paladin or Rainbow Frog this is the end of that adventure. I am battling with them to either refund the money to the buyers or allow me to have it. Right now it is on hold which is the worst case scenario because it means neither I or the customers have the money. Fear not, I am used to being canceled off of things for no reason. Stripe wants us all funneled into establishment social media which is control by the wall kissers. Substack is not one of those. They are the last man standing. But currently they cannot offer a tier list like Patreon or others do. But they are the ONLY one that does not censor. We did not know how Substack would be. On a scale of 1 to Lindsey Graham how gay would they be on free speech. Enough time has passed to give them a grade. It turns out, they actually obey the constitution. Which means Spinning squirrel is a go. You can thank Stripe for pissing me off enough to release it. So every Sunday for the next 12 weeks we are going to show case Spinning Squirrel, Rotating Rodent and Twirl Squirrel the Final Solution plus interviews with prominent H.R. updates from Bud and other things that will make the establishment crawl up the wall. So much nonsense is said about the Holocaust including the retarded twitter-sphere that keeps talking about “muh Red Cross report” and acting like only 271k were killed. It is a funny meme, but it is completely false. However I am not that interested in debunking idiotic exaggerations coming from THAT side, as they are already criminalized in 25 countries. I am focusing more on the equally absurd exaggerations and fabrications coming from Holocaustianity. Do not be a light switch brain. Debunking nonsense from one camp is not an endorsement of the other. I used to argue with revisionists and have debunked many of the best of them. Oddly those interviews have been censored too. But Why should I play offense for the side that has labeled me a denier and canceled me off of everything? I'm not going to any more. They can play defense themselves. I will however body slam, whip to the ropes, big boot and leg drop the Holocaust alarmists. Because these charlatan rats have profited in the tens of millions of dollars from lying about the holocaust, playing victims where they were never even involved and so on. So today if you can, cancel you ANC membership and add substack at least at the $7 level but I encourage you to get Prime. The price is adjustable give as much or little as you want. You can mimic what yo were trying to do on ANC. Better than that getI am seriously about to kick the establishment in the nuts. This burns all bridges for me to “legit” media. Doesn't really matter because I am blackballed from that anyway thanks to the ADL, SPLC, Canary Mission and so on. Literally the Epstein List. So of course I will double down. This will be Ryan Dawson Dark Mode. Starting with this 911 map puzzle. Fun for the Whole Family. Oh I got Bin Laden! Yay, who has Bandar Bin Sultan?

This is the second in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  This episode dives deeper into the terrorists radicalization through two separate events.  In the first one, Osama was shocked to see terrorists assault the Grand Mosque, the site of the House of God.  In the second instance, Osama would feel as though he was called to serve; first as financier and then as a full fledge guerrilla warrior against the = Soviet Union, an atheist entity that had just been invited to invade the Islamic nation of Afghanistan.  It remains the single most important war that you never studied in school.   Contact the show at resourcesbylowery@gmail.com or on Bluesky @EmpiresPod If you would like to financially support the show, please use the following paypal link.

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate 4/20 than having Woody Harrelson back with Bill Maher on Club Random. The setting: The Woods in Hollywood — their own dispensary, complete with koi ponds, bungalows, parrots, and a vibe you won't find anywhere else. What follows is Club Random like no other: two longtime friends sharing stories (and a few enhancements), bouncing between hilarious tangents, sharp debates, and real talk — laughing so hard at times they're literally in tears and reaching for tissues. From Willie Nelson stories to the highs and headaches of the cannabis business in California, to Woody's love of Charles Dickens and Marlon Brando, plus empty-nester reflections and wardrobe critiques — it's funny, chaotic, and full of the kind of chemistry you can't fake.

This is the first in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  This episode covers his formative years, looking into some of the misconceptions that many have regarding Islam, his untypical upbringing by his parents, and his exposure to fundamentalist ideas.  I also examine some of the key events that happen in the same year that his father dies in a plane crash; specifically the 1967 Israeli Six Day War.  That conflict, even more than the creation of Israel at the expense of a Palestine state was a wake up call for the region and the men who would go on to influence the 9/11 mastermind.  Contact the show at resourcesbylowery@gmail.com or on Bluesky @EmpiresPod If you would like to financially support the show, please use the following paypal link.

“Globalization has revived tribalism. Instead of destroying local cultures, as the left predicted, it has made them stronger. Far from the triumph of capitalism that the right predicted, it has entrenched corruption.” — Franklin Foer How do Osama Bin Laden and Barron Trump explain the world? According to Franklin Foer — senior writer at The Atlantic and author of How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization — they're both (or were, in the case of Bin Laden), like Foer himself, rootless Arsenal fans. That's the irony of our simultaneously tribal and globalized world. The more rootless we become, the sharper our imagined identities. Thus the DC-based Foer, who showed up for this interview flaunting his Gooner gear, never misses an Arsenal game on tv, even though he grew up almost four thousand miles west of Highbury. Foer's 2004 classic has been reissued with a new preface in honor of the World Cup. As he notes, this upcoming MAGA spectacle will only underline the tribal-global nature of the world. On the one hand, Trump wants to emulate Mussolini (1934) and Putin (2018) in transforming the sporting event into a celebration of localism. On the other hand, the expansion of the tournament into 48 teams mirrors the increasingly international reality of today's world. And then there's the distant but delicious possibility of an Iran-USA final. In 2022 in Qatar, the Iranian players refused to sing the national anthem in the opening game to protest the killing of a young woman who wasn't wearing a headscarf. Foer argues that the national team represents an idea of Iran quite foreign from that of the theocracy. While the anti-MAGA Foer wouldn't support Iran against the USA, he does argue that one of the great failures of the American left has been its inability to speak the language of patriotism. So Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom should wave the flag this summer. Whose flag he doesn't say. Probably the Arsenal if the global Foer had his tribal North London way. Five Takeaways •       Globalization Is a Form of Tribalism: Thomas Friedman said countries with McDonald's don't go to war with each other. Foer's book said the opposite: globalization doesn't dissolve tribal identity, it sharpens it. Barcelona can have Dutch DNA from Cruyff and a Qatari airline on the jersey — it's still a symbol of Catalan nationalism. The cosmopolitan elites who predicted the melting of national borders were themselves a tribe that mistook its tribal identity for universal truth. Andrew's formulation: globalization is a form of tribalism. Foer, cautiously, agrees. •       Trump's Bread and Circuses: Trump has identified three spectacles as the tent poles of his presidency: the 250th anniversary celebration of the United States, the Olympics, and the World Cup — which he calls the biggest spectacle of his term. Every strongman in history has understood the distracting quality of a spectacle. Putin sat in Moscow in 2018, ominously presiding. Mussolini had 1934. Trump won't be a passive participant. The expanded tournament was, Foer says, a greedy error — the early rounds will be poor — and the whole thing will unfold under the shadow of a president who wants to cosplay as president of the planet. •       The Financialization of Fandom: When Foer wrote the book in 2002, the transfer market was a big deal but not the phenomenon it is now. Fans have been forced to become conversant in the balance sheets of their clubs, getting upset when the club overpays. There's something sad about that — your relationship to a team has been financialized. Meanwhile, the Premier League jacks up ticket prices every year, people complain, and the stadiums are still full. The new power centres in the game are Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds using soccer as reputation laundering and soft power, and American private equity with its arrogant belief that it can do better than whoever was there before. •       The Iranian Team and the True Carriers of Civilization: In the last World Cup, Iranian players refused to sing the national anthem as protest against a government that had just killed a young woman for not wearing a headscarf. They were pressured to sing in the next game. The diaspora was divided. Foer's argument: the Iranian national team represents an idea of Iran entirely divorced from the theocracy — a spirit of nationhood, not religion. When Trump talked about destroying Iranian civilization, he was discouraging the people who consider themselves its true carriers and the regime's real opponents. Foer thinks it would be genuinely good if Iran could come and play in this World Cup. •       The Left's Patriotism Failure: Foer's parting argument: one of the great failures of the left in its quest for cosmopolitan ideals has been its inability to speak the language of patriotism. Even if the impulses behind progressive ideas could be described as patriotic, that's been one of the things limiting their political appeal. Should Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom wave the flag this summer at the World Cup? Foer says yes. Andrew, a Spurs fan born in North London who has lived in the United States for decades, suggests he would be “amused” if Iran beat America in the final. They do not reach agreement. About the Guest Franklin Foer is a senior writer at The Atlantic and the author of How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization (reissued 2026 with a new preface), The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden's White House and the Struggle for America's Future, and World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech. He lives in Washington, DC. References: •       How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization by Franklin Foer (reissued 2026 with new preface). •       “The Quintessential Trumpian Sport,” The Atlantic, April 2026.

7. THE KHOST TRAGEDY AND THE HUNT FOR BIN LADEN Guest Mundy: Guest Mundy chronicles the 2009 suicide bombing at Khost Station that killed targeting pioneer Jennifer Matthews,. This tragedy regalvanized the hunt for Bin Laden, leading analysts like "Rachel" and "Maya" to sift through decades of old data to identify his courier,. By tracing human networks and "The Pacer," these women located the Abbottabad compound without using electronic intercepts. Mundy notes that ground-level analysts were nearly 100% confident in their intelligence, even as senior operational leaders hesitated, fearing another institutional failure like the Iraq War's weapons of mass destruction debacle. (8)1947

5. ALEC STATION AND THE INNOVATION OF TARGETING Guest Mundy: Guest Mundy explores the 1990s formation of Alec Station, a "virtual station" dedicated to tracking Bin Laden. This unit uniquely combined analysts and operatives, allowing women to pioneer "targeting" by mapping al-Qaeda's organizational hierarchy,. Led by the abrasive Mike Scheuer, the group faced significant internal resistance; their warnings were often excluded from the President's Daily Brief because senior leadership doubted the threat,. Cindy Storer's realization that al-Qaeda was a sophisticated worldwide bureaucracy, rather than a loose confederation, was a revolutionary insight that the institutional hierarchy was slow to accept.

Bill Maher and Andy Dick don't do small talk. On this episode of Club Random, the conversation moves fast—from career highs and comedy legends to a near-fatal fentanyl scare on a Los Angeles sidewalk. It's one of the more exposed hours the show's had: Andy grappling with what it means to be cancelable, Bill pressing when answers drift, and somewhere along the way, something unexpectedly tender about grandchildren, estranged kids, and the fragile, hard-won clarity of sobriety. No neat ending. Just two people circling the truth, getting as close as they can.

Ziggy Marley stops by Club Random to talk to Bill Maher about his new album, Brightside. The conversation drifts—from music and life in Jamaica to Rastafarian beliefs, sacred herb, and why Ziggy keeps his cannabis use private and spiritual, not commercial. Along the way, they get into food, health, and a shared distrust of what we consume. Ziggy reflects on growing up as Bob Marley's son, navigating identity, and learning to set boundaries after watching a life that was open to everyone. They touch on cross-cultural relationships, religion, and the idea that most labels don't hold up under real human connection. Check out Brightside when it drops April 18—and catch him on tour.

On this episode of Club Random, Bill Maher sits down with Rob Riggle for a conversation that moves from war and courage to relationships, politics, and the darker side of power. Riggle reflects on joining the Marines at just 19, how the experience reshaped his confidence, and how he managed to find comedy even there—along with the real difference between physical and moral courage. From there, the conversation pivots into sharp, often funny debates on capitalism vs. communism, the realities of marriage and divorce, and why love still matters even when the odds are stacked against it—before veering, naturally, into golf, where Riggle (dating a pro) breaks down the rules of the game and proves that even in a sport built on honor, there's always a little Riggle room. And somewhere in the middle of it all, they land on a blunt truth: the people with the most power aren't always the smartest in the room—just the ones who figured out what they can get away with… which, depending on the week, is either comforting or deeply alarming.

Bill Maher sits down with neuroscientist Andrew Huberman to explore how smartphones, artificial light, and social media are reshaping how we think and connect. Huberman explains why morning sunlight and dark nights are critical for sleep, metabolism, and overall health. The two also dig into biohacking, peptides, and Big Pharma incentives, separating what's real from what's hype. They tackle shifting behavior, shrinking attention spans, and the future of health—from mRNA cancer treatments to CRISPR gene editing—along with more unsettling territory, including Jeffrey Epstein's connections to the scientific world. In the end, they land on a striking truth: “We don't relate to each other anymore—we relate through a screen." Support our Advertisers: High blood pressure can't wait.

It's a proper News Day Tuesday today on the Majority Report   On today's program:   Today is primary day in Illinois and AIPAC is pouring millions in as the scramble to beat the anti-genocide candidates.   Trump claims no expert could have known that Iran would retaliate by targeting neighboring countries' infrastructure. But Nate Swanson, a 20-year State Department veteran focused on Iran, had already outlined this exact scenario. Swanson was later pushed out after Laura Loomer urged Trump to remove officials she viewed as disloyal.   Trump Claims to have predicted that Iran would weaponize the strait of Hormuz, just like he "predicted" that Osama Bin Laden would knock down the World Trade Center towers.   We take a look back at when Michael Moore was booed at the Oscars for speaking out again Bush and his illegal war in Iraq.   Trump says that it will be his honor to "take" Cuba saying whether he "frees it or just takes it...I can do whatever I want".   Trump is asked about Israel's planned ground invasion in Lebanon to which he responds with a rambling story about how he is confused about how people live in places that get bombed so much.   In the Fun Half:   Tim Pool attempts a hit piece on Mamdani but falls flat. He claims Mamdani is telling the working class they're no longer welcome in New York, a fundamental misreading of Zohran's platform, which has centered on affordability from the very beginning.   Trump unleashes a HIPPA violation on a Florida congressman by revealing gruesome details about his health issues during a press conference at the Kennedy Center.   RFK, Jr releases an AI generated video of him wrestling a twinkie.

Bill Maher welcomes Jerry O'Connell to Club Random with Bill Maher for a conversation that jumps from childhood fame to life in Calabasas. Jerry reflects on the unlikely moment that set his career in motion—when director Rob Reiner told the shy kid from Stand by Me to stop holding back and lean into who he was. That advice, he says, changed everything. From there, the two get into Jerry's marriage to Rebecca Romijn, the surreal experience of being married to someone once married to John Stamos, and the chaos of raising teenagers in Calabasas. Along the way they cover Kourtney Kardashian's parking etiquette, the Dean Martin school of zero rehearsal, and why ayahuasca is a hard no for both of them.

Bill Maher and Sam Harris go head-to-head on some of the most explosive issues of the moment — and neither pulls punches. Maher defends his dinner with Donald Trump while Harris pushes back hard, sparking a debate that expands into the left's blind spots, sex differences in sports, media narratives, and the influence of Joe Rogan and podcast culture. Then the conversation turns personal. Harris reflects on nearly losing his home in the Los Angeles fires, while Maher explains why anxiety spirals might actually be a meditation alarm. Along the way they touch on geopolitics, Tucker Carlson, Iran, and the strange state of modern media — proving that when these two talk, nothing is off-limits.

Rock royalty is in the house. Billy Idol sits down with Bill Maher and nothing is off-limits. From snorting heroin backstage to smoking crack to kick the heroin habit (“it worked!”), Idol tells stories that would make most publicists quit on the spot. They swap sharp takes on Frank Sinatra being a drunk bully to his son, debate whether John Lennon could really hold his own without Paul McCartney and trace the Beatles' takeover of America. Idol reveals how a near-fatal overdose left him turning blue in a hotel room, how a brutal motorcycle accident became his real turning point, and why he now calls himself “California sober.” His new documentary is called Billy Idol Should Be Dead and after this conversation, you'll understand why he isn't.
