Why is the culture so obsessed with men on the down low?To some, they're a secret, sexy symbol. To others, they're carriers of diseases and lies. What is the truth about men who live their sexual lives 'on the DL', and what does our culture's recurring fascination with them say about how society treats men whose sexualities don't fit into neat boxes? Brittany is joined by Dr. Jeffrey McCune, author of Sexual Discretion: Black Masculinity and the Politics of Passing, and Kai Wright - a journalist and host for the Guardian who has been writing about sexual politics for the last 30 years.Support Public Media.

Recorded live in Longmont, Colorado, this panel conversation brings together four seasoned pastors and ministry leaders to reflect on what faithful preaching looks like in today's cultural moment.Dr Roy Collins, Dr Alan Stoddard, Mike Payne, and Bryan Stupar speak candidly about early preaching mistakes, the discipline of reading Scripture carefully, and the practical realities of preparing sermons alongside the many demands of pastoral ministry.The discussion addresses how expressive individualism shapes both the church and the wider culture, and why historic practices like preaching calendars, shared preparation, and confessional reminders help anchor pastors and congregations alike. The panel also explores realistic rhythms for sermon planning, the challenge of information overload, and the value of planning ahead rather than reacting week to week.In the final portion of the conversation, the focus turns to youth ministry. The speakers offer wise and grounded counsel on mentoring young people, cultivating lasting fruit, and remembering that students are often listening more closely than they appear. Rather than chasing novelty, the panel encourages patient investment, faithful presence, and a long view of spiritual formation.This conversation was recorded at a live Expositors Collective training event in Longmont, Colorado aimed at equipping pastors and Bible teachers to faithfully study and publicly proclaim God's Word in the modern church.Topics CoveredLessons learned from first sermons and early failuresWhy reading whole books of Scripture mattersPlanning ahead with preaching calendarsManaging information overload in sermon preparationStructuring a realistic ministry weekExpressive individualism and its impact on the churchWhy historic confessions still matterMentoring young people toward spiritual fruitThe quiet but real attentiveness of youthAdditional Listening: Alan Stoddard on Ministry Mentorships: https://goodlion.io/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/passing-on-the-baton-preaching-mentorships-and-ministry-training-with-alan-stoddard Mike Payne on Passing on the Baton:https://goodlion.io/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/the-value-of-preaching-mentorships-michael-payne Bryan Stupar on Character in the Ministry:https://goodlion.io/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/why-character-matters-bryan-stuparConnectFor information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com Join our private Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpositorsCollective

You're riding along with Kaitlyn Raitz as she breaks down the real mechanics of touring at scale: staying human on a bus, finding tiny routines that keep you sane, and surviving the sleep math when you're one of twelve buses on a massive run. Then it's straight into the onstage reality of modern country arena production: 24 musicians, a full string quartet, choir, and horns, plus the challenge of making strings translate in a loud arena. You get the practical gear-and-tech layer too: DPA mics and pickups, dynamic EQ, managing cello loudness, and how tools like ToneDexter fit into keeping tone consistent when the room is working against you. You also get the career side, unfiltered: how the Eric Church gig happened through the Nashville relationship web, why being excellent and easy to be around matters, and why “Nashville is a ten-year town” if you want longevity. Kaitlyn's stories span arranging and learning charts mid-tour from iPads, to the whiplash of getting a Grammy call with barely any runway, to recording in LA and wondering how anyone actually functions there. The episode closes with the mindset and performance skills that keep pros durable: protecting your brain and nervous system, flipping a stage persona on and off, and the practical win of transitioning to IEMs for a cellist when monitors are run well. Bottom line: this is how you keep your craft sharp, your head steady, and your show consistent night after night.

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Faith grows through testing, not perfection. This Lenten reflection invites readers to see trials as gifts that reveal the heart and deepen trust in God. Following Jesus in the wilderness, believers learn gratitude, forgiveness, and courage. Grace meets weakness, reshapes habits, and leads toward hope, healing, and a living relationship with Christ that renews purpose and strengthens faithful daily living...
Step into Episode 200 of ‘On The Delo' as Delo celebrates a major milestone by sitting down with fellow "Delo" Dave Delos, a 30-year bar industry veteran, owner of six neighborhood dive bars, and president of the Arizona Licensed Beverage Association (ALBA). From growing up in Poughkeepsie, New York, and building homes with his hands to buying his first bar from his father-in-law Tony Marino in 1996, Dave shares the full arc of how hard work, family, and a willingness to "figure it out" built a six-location dive bar empire across the West Valley.The conversation goes deep on what it really means to run a family business in hospitality, how Dave and his wife Lori built their operation together (she's known as "the executioner" for a reason), and how their son and daughter have now stepped into daily operations and HR to carry the legacy forward. Dave also opens up about life at 60, losing his father last year, taking his 86-year-old mom wine tasting, and why golf, travel, cooking, and wine at night keep him grounded. You'll hear one of the wildest bar stories ever told involving a live World War II hand grenade thrown into one of his bars, plus Dave's journey from ALBA board member to seven-year president, why a $200,000 Series 6 license needs protecting, and where he stands on mandatory Title 4 training and personal responsibility. Stay for rapid fire on Sunday day drinkers, Michelob Ultra, napkin deals, White Castle, and why dive bars are the fabric of America.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:53) Episode 200 Celebration, "On The Delos," and Why Delo Matters to the Industry(2:54 - 6:38) Growing Up in New York, the Mazda B2000 Road Trip, and Meeting His Wife at Gentleman's Choice(6:39 - 9:54) Moving to Arizona, Buying a Bar from Tony Marino, and Building Six Locations with His Hands(9:54 - 12:38) His Wife "The Executioner," Partnership, and What a Good Woman Does for Your Life and Business(12:39 - 15:18) Passing the Business to His Kids, College First, and Letting Go After 30 Years of Decisions(15:18 - 17:55) Life at 60: Golf, Travel, Wine at Night, and Taking His 86-Year-Old Mom Wine Tasting(17:56 - 20:52) The Live Hand Grenade Story: The Wildest Thing That's Ever Happened in One of His Bars(20:52 - 25:06) Getting Into ALBA, Industry Titans, Bill Weigel, and Why It's "My Time, My Turn"(25:06 - 29:02) What ALBA Does: Lobbying, Licensing, Protecting the $200K Series 6, and Don Isaacson at the Capitol(29:02 - 33:19) Title 4 Training, Mandatory vs. Voluntary, Personal Responsibility, and Masking Intoxication(33:19 - 35:42) ALBA Membership Benefits, $300/Year, Insurance Discounts, and a Welcome to New Members(35:42 - 42:03) Rapid Fire: Sunday Drinkers, Dive Bars, Michelob Ultra, Napkin Deals, White Castle, and Delo's Close
I sat down with Justin Francom, an independent Mormon fundamentalist living in Missouri, to discuss his journey from a traditional LDS background to an Independent Mormon fundamentalist. Francom's story is a compelling look at how his search for deeper doctrine can lead a “Jack Mormon” turned missionary into the world of independent fundamentalist. https://youtu.be/6oY7DnOq2Ec Don't miss our other conversations on Mormon fundamentalism: https://gospeltangents.com/denominations/fundamentalim/ Path to a Faith Crisis After serving an LDS mission in South Korea and marrying in the temple, Francom experienced a profound “culture shock” within the mainstream LDS Church in Utah. This feeling was exacerbated by changes to the temple ceremony, which left him spiritually unsatisfied. His search for answers led him to the writings of Denver Snuffer, specifically Passing of the Heavenly Gift. However, Snuffer's thesis—that the Restoration had essentially failed—left Francom feeling cynical and depressed. Finding Light in “Lost” Doctrines Francom’s path took a turn when he discovered the works of fundamentalist author Ogden Kraut. Unlike Snuffer's work, Kraut's writings on “lost” history and doctrines, such as prayer circles in the home and the Adam-God doctrine, rebolstered his faith and testimony. Francom describes receiving a personal spiritual witness of these doctrines, which created a wedge between him and mainstream LDS leadership, whom he felt had been untruthful about Church history. Rejecting “One-Manism” A central theme of Francom's transition is his rejection of “one-man doctrines“—the belief that priesthood authority is a rigid control structure funneled through a single living prophet. After investigating various groups like the AUB and the Peterson group, Francom found that they often emulated the same authoritarian behaviors he found troubling in the LDS Church. This led him to remain an independent Mormon fundamentalist, believing that the true vision of the Restoration was to create a “nation of prophets and priests.“ Reimagining Priesthood Authority as Mormon Fundamentalist The summary of Francom’s theological shift concludes with his introduction to a new interpretation of Section 132 via Sean Anderson. He argues that the “one man” referred to in scripture relates to the serial nature of conferring the fullness of the priesthood (the second anointing) rather than a restriction on how many people can hold the authority at once. By viewing priesthood as something to be perpetuated and shared rather than controlled, Francom finds a way to maintain his testimony of Joseph Smith and the temple while remaining outside of traditional institutional boundaries. What do you think?

February 20, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 96 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the recent passing of former Pittsburgh Steelers S Mike Wagner. We pay our respects to Wagner and discuss how underrated of a player he was for the Steelers during his career. Alex and I then go over the latest reports concerning the possible return of Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers for the 2026 season. We also discuss the possible paths the Steelers might take when it comes to the quarterback position for 2026 should Rodgers ultimately decide to not re-sign this offseason. Steelers HC Mike McCarthy did a Friday morning interview with a radio station in Green Bay, so Alex and I make sure to recap the notable things he had to say about Rodgers and the team's 2026 training camp. Is it plausible that the Steelers might select an offensive lineman in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft? Alex and I tackle that question and as part of that, we discuss Penn State G Olaivavega Ioane as a very plausible option for the Steelers at 21st overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. Alex and I discuss the possibility of the Steelers trading up in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft to select Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. We also go over what we know so far about Alabama QB Ty Simpson on the heels of Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network discussing the quarterback during his Thursday conference call with the media. Jeremiah also had a few other notable answers to questions on Thursday that Alex and I quickly go over. Our Jeremiah Pike recently completed a study of wide receivers that McCarthy has drafted since being an NFL head coach and so Alex and I go over his findings. On the heels of Alex writing about Steelers ILB Payton Wilson this past week, we discuss his concerns and future heading into 2026, which will be his third NFL season. This 89-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we end thus show by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

One of the things that mark a healthy society is the consistency between generations. In other words, adults who care about the future for their children will invest the time to make sure tomorrow is bright.God the Father is the ultimate parent, and we would do well to model His love for us.Luke 18:1 says, “One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.”Passing the torch, or training up the next generation, involves taking the time to do it properly. If you love your kids, you'll make time for them. You won't take the easy way out and settle for schools or the culture at large to raise them.Teach them—yourself—that we all experience tough times in this life, but sticking to God's plan for their lives is the key to winning. Living the abundant life Jesus taught about, and sharing His Good News is the ultimate win. But we don't get there by quitting when the going gets tough.Let's pray.Lord, you never leave us, and you never abandon the human community to evil. You are a great God, and we thank you for your commitment to us. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

In today's episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, author, speaker, and mindfulness teacher Crystal T. Harrell shares a powerful original story written during a moment of deep reflection — The Girl With the Golden Wings. Through poetic imagery and soulful intuition, Crystal guides listeners into a meditation on fear, trust, courage, and the inner strength we often forget we carry.This beautifully told metaphor invites us all to consider the edges we approach in our own lives — the places where fear whispers “What if I fall?” and where joy reminds us of our ability to rise.A Meditative StoryCrystal's narrative follows a girl standing at the edge of her next becoming. She feels the weight of doubt pulling her backward, familiar as an old friend. Fear warns her of falling. Envy's arrows echo past wounds. The shadows seem safer.But joy — gentle and steady — places a hand at the small of her back and helps her remember:“You can do more because you have become more.”A golden ray catches her eye, revealing her own wings — strong, luminous, and ready.With trust as her key, she leaps.And instead of falling, she flies.Crystal's story becomes a meditation on resilience, transformation, and the deep truth that growth requires trust — in ourselves, in our journey, and in the unseen joy that accompanies us.Key Themes• Courage at the edge of change• Recognizing fear without surrendering to it• The power of joy as an inner guide• Remembering your innate ability to soar• Passing wisdom forward to others on the pathCrystal's words offer a gentle reminder that the strength of our wings is built through life's challenges — and that trust transforms those challenges into flight.About Today's GuestCrystal T. Harrell is a #1 bestselling author, motivational speaker, MBSR instructor, Gates Millennium Scholar, and Yale-trained public health researcher.

"The internet loves lists. The click bait ones often choose to list the worst of something and choose the best of it just to upset the audience for engagement. I can usually ignore these but this one really bugged me for some reason. I'll tell you the list and debunk it and offer some of mine."
We’ve Left Little to Imagination Uninspired creative endeavors are not faults of potential but culture. Cloudless deep blue sky. Green coated hillsides. Calm ocean glimmering under a warm sun. A good day for a hike. Others were of similar mind, parents and kids and friends relishing the beauty and the day. Some wore t-shirts and shorts, some leggings, tank tops, pants. And some wore colored spandex so form-fitting even bills would reveal their value. Passing one such woman markedly sculpted by spandex, the thoroughness of the impact of the last several decades coalesced into a singular understanding. Though we gradually desensitize to the ever-infringed upon demarcation of now archaically-perceived propriety, the bright sun and clear ocean air showed it plainly. In our current age of progressive enlightenment, some decision was made that everything must be stated, everything must be qualified, everything must be shown. As necklines plunged and hemlines shortened, modesty and privacy became so unknown they currently border on the fantastical. Is it any wonder then that true creativity is feeling more and more uncommon, considering we've left little to imagination? Imagine a gift, artfully wrapped. Take a moment to see it, paper, card, bow, precise folds, and all. What's inside? It could be air or a pebble or a key that leads to a train, plane, the power of rain. Sense the possibility? The mystery? The chance for any single or series of items to be awaiting your eyes? Until the box is opened, anything could be inside. Then it can be admired, appreciated, valued, but it can also only be what it is. Imagine a gift, artfully wrapped. Take a moment to see it, paper, card, bow, precise folds, and all. Notice the corner? The paper is ripped just a bit, enough to peek at what awaits your eyes. Do you catch the edge of a design? The point of an image? The fractured angle of a letter? Until the box is opened, anything could be inside, though the mystery is not quite the same, as a clue narrows the possibility. Still, it could be a good many things. Imagine a gift, wrapped only with a bow. Exciting, but it's clear what awaits your eyes. Do you take it out right away? Maybe. Do you put it aside, because there's no mystery to uncover, no guess to confirm? Perhaps. Do you imagine what else it could be? Probably not. Once you know what it is, you don't regard it quite the same. Imagine man throughout the ages in different states of wrapping. Then think of how much has changed once we stopped closing doors, stopped covering up, stopped being subtle. In just another push to progress ourselves right into eternal, unmitigated happiness and freedom, we became more and more explicit in language, in dress, in art, in literature, in entertainment. The easier everything became to access, for any number of excuses from “education” to “we're all adults here,” the less need there was for our minds to conjure what we couldn't see. How much is there to imagine when everything is right in our line of sight? The result of such changes is most often noticed in the various possibilities of creative output. One dominant tendency is to imitate or rework what's already been created, repackaging instead of reinventing. While that could lead to some unique creative endeavors, it's difficult to call the same rose by another name just to make it appear as something else. The other inclination most often revealed is that when someone wants to garner notice, they no longer do so through an admirable, “Here's what I've done,” but something more akin to, “Look at this body I have! Like this and this and this!” Such is the machination of a disingenuous illusionist, who seeks to distract from what's real with shock and morbid fascination rather than true wonderment and value. It fixes the viewer's eyes on something he can't bring himself to look away from, so he doesn't realize he's not seeing anything interesting, intriguing, or intelligent at all. These approaches lead to underdeveloped creativity and people unable to bring life to empty spaces. Both hamper imagination, and thereby human innovation and achievement. Imagination is defined by its ability to range, to explore unmoored and unfettered, to envision what else could be. When everything is known, and in such sharp focus too, what is left for the mind to wonder about? What motivates creative endeavors, when the eye is so overstimulated by continual, concentrated bombardments of noise over substance? At times there is an advantage to knowing what a thing is, to spending hours, months, years exploring its entirety, usually in regard to what matters most in life, faith, meaning, relationships, and the like. For these, and similar, solidity is more important than imagining, so the more focus on what we have, the stronger, more resilient it can become. Moreover, this is specifically possible for things that truly matter because they have already been deemed worthy and good by the Infinite. Further exploration doesn't just uncover more, but also how much more could be because it intrinsically contains that quality. These are things which strengthen and endure as long as the discovery never bottoms out, the knowing never plateaus, the search for more uncovers greater depths. Thus, the concern for imagination isn't about individual potential, but society overall, the majority of designers, writers, filmmakers, entertainers, the ones who unwrapped the box bit by bit, unraveling the mystery, the compulsion to know more. As they unwrapped each layer in attempts to outdo the level of before, it wasn't just the unknown laid bare, but imagination itself. They tried to hide the undesired effects with oversized, glittering bows, presenting the obvious with forced razzle dazzle, so no one would notice they weren't presenting much at all. In making everything known, the excitement of discovery frayed, our perception of the unknown shifted. Why explore, why imagine, when there's no mystery, no reward for stages reached and levels earned? No delayed gratification, no commitment, nothing more than a screen or a word or an absence of fabric. No longer is there the length, breadth, depth of infinite when a thing has been stripped to its most finite. Another prevailing fallout is apathy, oft mistaken for acceptance or maturity, instead of the rewiring of how our minds and bodies should healthily react to what was once kept covered or enclosed. To the point, live on a nudist colony long enough and the clothed will appear abnormal. How easily we forgot, even scorned, the standards that once were with the distance of time and numbing. We scoff at the stiffness, the suffocation of the world past, yet, can we really say that certain modicums of respect, curtesy, and social norms were worth paying off just so we could dishonestly call less more? The evolution, rather devolution, of the bathing suit is a prime example. Already the bathing suit of the late 1800s was considered scandalous for the amount it bared a woman's legs, then the early 20th century brought the bikini, from the French Riviera, of course. Even then, the pearl-clutching design that bared midriffs was only the beginning, as Hollywood starlets unsurprisingly help popularize and mainstream the style, and swimwear became even skimpier from there. Whatever excuses or explanations for the advent of the so-called fashion, from wartime fabric rationing to innovations in materials to bodily freedom, none explain why we're not rightfully honest about what is essentially water durable undergarments, which should be treated as such. They should not be worn, they should not be worn in mixed crowds, and they should certainly be blamed for creating double standards of styles meant to arrest the eye then condemn the eye they capture. And if there's any instinct of contention, think of how people walk, talk, and pose while wearing one. Think of how it's all meant to attract notice. In that vein, examine any photo of deliberate body staging, for social media, advertisements, red carpets, and the like. Regardless of how much, or little, someone is wearing, don't let the image distract from a very important detail in many, many of these photos. Look at the pose. Look at what message it sends. Look at the eyes and ask how many appear beautiful in face and body but dead or shallow in depth of expression? In exposing all, we've smothered our consciences and emptied our insides of substance. Bikinis, clothing, aren't the only culprit in revealing more than they should. Of course, there's less and less discretion when it comes to social media, but for wider industries, as previously discussed, movies and books have followed an essentially similar path as the bathing suit, cutting out substantive material to reveal more and more in a skewed effort to shock, transgress, push boundaries, and incorrectly claim to be fresh and new. Horror and crime can be overly gritty, but there's no contention romance has mainstreamed what used to be relegated to erotica. Instead of romances portraying something sweet or aspirational, instead of overall writing making much better use of subtlety, romances of today are quick to spend time explicitly describing each step. And while some may accuse the former of being fantasy, the same is even truer of the latter, not least for the fetishism woven throughout. Perhaps this only happens in a society that decided everything has be to revealed, then luxuriated in the validation of similarly-minded people. Perhaps this happens in a society where real relationships between men and women have been attacked, then sidelined, for something, ironically, entirely of imagination. This sort of imagining has not been of benefit to us. Other reasons may compel a people to stop imagining, reasons much more insidious and malicious in outcome and intent. Those more advanced in years may rely less on imagination, because they've settled into the final bend, and feel no further need to dream a future they won't live in. But for the young, what could halt their dreaming when they have so many years yet to live? After all, dreams of the night are for sorting the mind, but dreams of the day are for the future. But why would a young person dream if he has no surety of tomorrow? Before anyone blames this on policy or politics, think hard on how the issue roots deeper than the current argument of the day, more symptom than cause for the end of dreaming. The young have been told for decades that they're powerless, hopeless, and hapless in the face of the inevitable end the past has precipitated. They've intentionally been taught naught to little of what truly drove men to build, of what inspired innovation that changed the world, of the ripple effects of groundbreaking or consequential invention. Without such lesson and context, there remains little reliable foundation for dreaming. And without dreams of day, dark thoughts easily cloud a bright tomorrow, leaving empty, soulless minds scrambling for succor and a stable ledge from which to launch their dreams. But they can dream! They can rebuild! Sure they can, but will they? How many are motivated to do so when the dust coating their vision isn't from construction but demolition? Even as they're encouraged to make history, they're simultaneously being shown its destruction, as if they won't somehow understand that if the very foundation of their world can be demolished then anything can be. Despite the obsession with history, the past isn't honestly studied, but rather treated like a rage room where what's dead goes to be broken. Why build today if it'll only be condemned and destroyed tomorrow? There is no drive to create legacy where everything is deliberately upended. Neither is there incentive to imagine something incredible, to reach for the greatest achievement when they don't believe it'll be allowed to last. How can they when they were only taught to tear down or imitate the accepted instead of build up or create something new? How can they when all that was long upheld as the best and most admirable has been crushed and melted down? The point of achievement is undermined when no one can agree on what's good and right and worthy and beautiful. It can be gutting to build and dream and imagine for a world they're been told will no longer be. It's even more difficult to invest if there's no one for whom to build. Even more, throughout their young lives, they've been constantly bombarded with the current crisis framed by rage and panic, by hysteria and histrionics falsely forming fatal threats to the certainty of tomorrow. Shrieking desperation may attract attention and news stories, but it also turns the future into a precarious spaghetti-fling with questionable, unproven solutions. Instead of an upbeat message of the future is yours if you build it!, the young are frightened into believing the world can disappear in any moment which lacks monumental change. Who wouldn't retreat into the safely compacted world of the screen, into numbing, mindless scrolling? Who wouldn't hide away in inanities or wholly performative emotions? Who could, and not eventually suffer for it? The worlds they retreat to instead are controlled landscapes rendered by pixels and prompts, easily manipulated or redesigned with a few keystrokes. Soaring and beautiful perhaps, but wholly disconnected from reality, particularly one already replete with so much beauty, from the majestic to the fierce, from the tranquil to the thunderous. These other worlds are not only missing the natural, but even their artistry is lacking the detail and imagination of a human hand, worlds wholly unlike those built by men whose visions were shaped by the feel of soil between their fingers, rather than the bright, and often false, colors of mimicry. Of course, the true cause and solution is rooted in the same truth as most ills of society, the careful, surgical removal of the Infinite, which once defined every contour of life and assured tomorrow. The young have not been taught to look up and beyond. They haven't been pointed toward the aspirational and inspirational which well outlasts the lives of mortal men. They haven't been told how a single small action matters, even if no one notices, even if no effect is seen, simply because everything matters in the totality of the Grand Design for Creation. Anger is fleeting and exhausting, Divinity is fulfilling and everlasting. Potential dreamers have been denied the greatest gift of mankind walking on two legs, whose natural line of sight is the horizon. How easy it is to look up from there, but only if you haven't been beaten until your neck only curves down. Only if you haven't given your brain over to a device, instead of given your mind over to devising. And yet, despite all that has been done, there will always be imagination. As long as there is a soul in a body somewhere, the spark of the Infinite will drive a man to reach beyond his self, in creativity, in refinement, in imagining how things could be better. We must keep reminding others of that. We must keep weaving dreams of day. We must keep directing their gazes up. Imagine the world that would be.

*Disclaimer* This episode contains strong language Chuck Todd tackles three fast-moving stories shaping the political landscape. First, he digs into the escalating Iran crisis, where the Trump administration has deployed two aircraft carriers, hundreds of fighter jets, and a dozen warships to the Middle East — what Todd calls military adventurism without the consent of Congress. With nuclear talks in Geneva producing no breakthrough and Trump advisers saying there's a 90% chance of kinetic action in the coming weeks, Todd warns that history says hot intervention is coming and that the U.S. may have gone too far to back down, while cautioning that any regime change scenario means America would own the outcome — a lesson the country should have learned from its disastrous track record in Iran. From there, he turns to the Texas Senate race, which he calls an all-timer, breaking down the volatile primaries on both sides: Ken Paxton leading despite millions spent by the GOP establishment to take him down, the tight Crockett-Talarico Democratic primary, and the explosive Colbert-CBS controversy — in which CBS lawyers blocked Colbert from airing a Talarico interview over FCC "equal time" threats, only for the resulting firestorm to generate millions more views on YouTube than it ever would have gotten on broadcast, making Jasmine Crockett the quiet loser in the saga. Todd closes with a sharp critique of crypto's financial coercion of the Democratic Party — pointing to Chuck Schumer reportedly urging Senate Democrats to get on crypto's side after the industry spent heavily to defeat Sherrod Brown — and a Potomac sewage dump that underscores how even basic governance has become hostage to political blame games. Then, George Conway — the conservative lawyer turned leading Trump critic, Lincoln Project co-founder, and now Democratic congressional candidate in New York — joins the Chuck Toddcast for an urgent, no-holds-barred conversation about what he sees as an existential crisis for American constitutional government. Conway, who became a Republican in the 1980s as a "legal conservative" grounded in the Constitution, argues that the party he once joined is now unrecognizable, and that young people have been led to believe conservatism and Trumpism are the same thing. He makes an impassioned case that a third impeachment of Trump isn't just politically justified but a constitutional imperative, warning that Trump is psychologically deteriorating while controlling the military and nuclear arsenal, creating a domestic army through ICE, and presiding over what Conway calls the most corrupt government in America's 250-year history. He points to Mitch McConnell's failure to vote for conviction during the second impeachment trial as the hinge point that could have changed everything — and argues that if impeachment doesn't apply to what Trump has done, the mechanism has no meaning. The conversation goes beyond Trump himself into deeper structural questions about how to repair American democracy. Conway endorses the bipartisan constitutional amendment circulating in the House to nullify presidential pardons — citing Trump intermediaries allegedly being paid for sold pardons — but argues that statutory fixes will be more achievable than amendments, and that Congress needs to codify the old "norms" into enforceable law. He argues that that Democrats should fight fire with fire, with Chuck warning it only feeds whataboutism, and makes the case for incrementalism and welcoming converts rather than saying "I told you so" — pointing to figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene as case studies in evolving away from Trump. Throughout, Conway returns to a central theme: that no positive policy agenda is possible until the current constitutional crisis is resolved, and that America simply cannot survive three more years of a government working to serve one man.

President Donald Trump honored the late conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh, marking five years since Limbaugh’s death.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective, steps outside traditional Mafia territory and into a shadowy world just as dangerous—and just as fascinating: the international theft of ultra-rare automobiles. Gary is joined by author Stayton Bonner, former senior editor at Rolling Stone, and legendary car-recovery specialist Joe Ford, the real-life figure behind Bonner's book The Million Dollar Car Detective. At the center of the story is a breathtaking pre-World War II automobile—the Talbot-Lago Teardrop Coupé—once described as the most beautiful car in the world. Stolen from a Milwaukee industrialist's garage in 2001, the car vanished into the international underground of elite collectors, forged paperwork, and high-stakes deception. Joe Ford explains how he became the go-to investigator when rare cars worth millions disappear—and why stolen vehicles are far harder to recover than stolen art. What follows is a years-long global hunt involving disgruntled mechanics, fabricated titles, shell corporations, Swiss intermediaries, and a billionaire buyer now locked in civil litigation. Bonner adds rich historical context, tracing the car's glamorous past—from European aristocracy to Hollywood royalty—and exposing how loneliness, obsession, and greed often surround these legendary machines. The conversation expands into other notorious cases, including the disappearance of the original James Bond Aston Martin from Goldfinger, and how wealthy collectors sometimes knowingly harbor stolen artifacts. This episode is a true-crime story without guns or gangs—but filled with deception, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice across borders. If you love investigative work, high-end crime, and stories that feel like James Bond meets Gone in 60 Seconds, this one's for you.
