Podcasts about Rubicon

On 10 January 49 BC, Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River, a decision that would trigger civil war and reshape the Roman world. But what did this moment really mean, and how inevitable was the conflict that followed? In this episode of the Ancient Warfare Podcast, the team explore the political and military background to Caesar's fateful decision. We look at the breakdown of relations between Caesar and Pompey, the pressures within the Roman Republic, and why compromise ultimately failed. Was Caesar forced into action, or did he deliberately choose war? The discussion goes beyond the famous phrase and the dramatic image of a single river crossing. We examine the military realities Caesar faced, the loyalties of his legions, Pompey's strategic position, and how contemporaries understood the step Caesar had taken. Finally, we consider how the crossing of the Rubicon has been remembered, mythologised, and misunderstood ever since.   Join us on Patreon patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast

Welcome to Episode 1407 of the **Jeep Talk Show**—we're now in our **16th year** delivering unfiltered Jeep talk, trail tips, mod advice, and real community vibes! In this episode, Tony dives into the **shocking news** that's rocking the Jeep world right now: **Stellantis has officially discontinued the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) 4xe models** in North America starting with the 2026 model year. The Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe have vanished from Jeep's build configurator—no press release, no fanfare, just quietly pulled. We break down why this happened: ongoing recalls (battery fires, power issues, stop-sales), shifting demand with lower gas prices, the end of big EV incentives, and why simpler gas or mild-hybrid setups might make more sense for real off-roaders. Current 4xe owners—don't panic; get your recalls handled, and Jeep should keep supporting parts for years. Is this a smart pivot away from problematic tech, or a step back from "green"? We discuss the pros/cons and what it means for the future of electrified Jeeps. We also tackle the classic budget mod question: **Mud-Terrain (MT) tires first, or lockers?** Tires are the foundation—they touch the ground and give instant gains in mud, loose dirt, rocks, and looks (that aggressive stance!). Lockers shine in extreme rock crawling where wheels lift off, but on a budget, many Jeepers swear by starting with MTs for better "two-tire grip" across axles vs. four potentially spinning. We share real thoughts on why MTs often win for everyday wheeling, plus when lockers become essential. What's your pick? Drop it in the comments! Tony rants (again) about **Wrangler 392 pricing**—why are we still seeing these V8 beasts priced way too high (even after recent drops like the new Moab 392 specials coming in ~$20k cheaper than prior Rubicons)? With gas prices down and love for that Hemi torque/sound, Jeep could move way more units by making it more accessible—closer to a loaded 3.6 Rubicon premium. Come on, Jeep—keep the go-anywhere spirit alive without luxury pricing! Communications corner: Is **ham radio for emergency use** obsolete with GMRS, cell phones, and Starlink? We explore why ham still rules as a resilient backup (no grid/internet needed, global reach in disasters like hurricanes or EMP scenarios). GMRS is easier for trail chats, but build a layered plan—test your gear, know repeater backups, and stay ready. 73 to the hams out there! Bonus: Tony announces his **new interview show** (The Tony Muckleroy Show on YouTube & Spotify)—wide-ranging convos on anything interesting, starting with a personal one on paranormal experiences with his daughter. Check it out for ghosts, stories, or random deep dives! Thanks for watching/listening, Jeep family! Smash that **LIKE**, **SUBSCRIBE**, and hit the bell for more. Comment your thoughts on the 4xe news, MTs vs. lockers, 392 pricing, or ham radio. Send voice messages/ideas via jeep talkshow.com/contact, DM on X @TonyMuckleroy, or call in next live!

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Natalie Orpett, and Molly Roberts for a special deep-dive into the intervention in Venezuela, including:“A Hop, Skip, and Jump Across the Rubicon.” This past weekend, the Trump administration took the step that Trump has been threatening for months: he deployed special operations to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and bring him to the United States for criminal prosecution. The targeted operation was only hours long and resulted in no American fatalities, though more than 70 people in Venezuela were reportedly killed. The Trump administration has described it as a “law enforcement” operation. But what was it really? And where did he get the authority to do it?“A Truly Extraordinary Rendition.” By Monday, Maduro and his wife were in New York being arraigned on an array of drug- and weapons-related conspiracy charges. But prosecuting a head of state—albeit one not recognized by the United States—presents certain unique challenges. How should we expect the criminal case to proceed? “Running in Place.” President Trump has asserted that he and his advisers are now going to “run” Venezuela. But he's left Maduro's deputy, Delcy Rodríguez, in place, in lieu of the opposition movement the United States and many other countries have recognized as Venezuela's legitimate government. Trump and his advisers seem intent on dictating terms to Venezuela through the “leverage” provided them by the ongoing quarantine over Venezuela's oil, and potentially the threat of additional military action. But can this light-touch strategy succeed? In object lessons, (notably Chicagoan) Natalie delights in her long-standing admiration of The New Yorker with Netflix's documentary “The New Yorker at 100.” Molly approaches Trump's takeover of D.C. golf courses with a pitch for Knotty by Nature's wooden putters. Scott honors the 5th anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol with a recommendation of Ellie Silverman's moving profile of Nathan Tate in the Washington Post. And Ben honors the same anniversary with both a revisiting of Lawfare's narrative podcast series The Aftermath, and, relatedly, a surprise interview by Holly Berkley Fletcher with one of the attack's most infamous perpetrators.

En janvier 49 av. J.-C., Jules César arrive devant un modeste fleuve côtier d'Italie du Nord : le Rubicon. Franchir armé cette frontière symbolique, c'est déclarer la guerre au Sénat et à Pompée. César choisit d'avancer en lançant la fameuse formule "Alea jacta est - le sort en est jeté". Face à une inexorable progression, Pompée s'enfuit, la République chancelle et le chemin s'ouvre vers la dictature. Suivez le futur Empereur dans sa traversée du Rubicon, un simple pas qui fit basculer l'histoire romaine. Crédits : Lorànt Deutsch, Bruno CalvèsHébergé par Audiomeans.

Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes author and anti-communist, James Lindsay, onto the show to talk about why the military operation in Venezuela is a “Rubicon” movement for global power, the reality of JD Vance's presidential nomination in 2028, and why the DSA may be a real problem for the Democratic Party. https://x.com/ConceptualJames/https://newdiscourses.com/Order NOT SICK OF WINNING: http://notsickofwinning.comOrder THE WHITE PILL: http://whitepillbook.com/Order THE ANARCHIST HANDBOOK: https://www.amzn.com/B095DVF8FJOrder THE NEW RIGHT: https://amzn.to/2IFFCCuOrder DEAR READER: https://t.co/vZfTVkK6qf?amp=1https://twitter.com/michaelmalicehttps://instagram.com/michaelmalicehttps://malice.locals.comhttps://youtube.com/michaelmaliceofficialIntro song: "Out of Reach" by Legendary House Cats https://thelegendaryhousecats.bandcamp.com/The newest episode of "YOUR WELCOME" releases on iTunes and YouTube every Wednesday!

Everyone's favorite crewmate is back in "Rubicon"! No, it's not Tilly. No, not Ash, he's still in the 23rd century. No, not Dr. Pollard. It's Nhan! Nhan. The Benzite security officer? Ugh...the "yum yum" woman. Now you've got it! So, yeah, Michael is going after Book, and Vance figures someone needs to keep an eye on her in case her emotions get in the way of murder, and she's apparently just the ticket! Meanwhile, Saru makes eyes at T'Rina, which might be the best plot of this whole season. Also this week: space is three dimensional, idiots! Wild cards, b*tches! And sci-fi TV series!

Christian Hurst joins Richardson's Rubicon to talk about the Lily Starling space opera series, starting with Lily Starling and the Voyage of the Salamander. We dig into a familiar sci-fi opener, waking up with amnesia, and why it works when the reader discovers the world at the same pace as the protagonist.Christian explains how he builds stories from character and theme first, then lets worldbuilding arrive when it is needed, rather than dumping lore on page one. We also explore tone: why so much modern sci-fi feels either relentlessly grim or aggressively camp, and how he aims for a more human mix of seriousness, humour, and hope.The conversation moves into belief systems, ritual, and symbolism as part of lived-in worlds, plus the role of identity, loneliness, and connection in Lily's arc across the series. Christian shares how his background in art, communication, and marketing shaped a more emotional approach to storytelling, and why he cares about how a reader feels, not just how neatly a plot clicks into place.If you like character-driven space opera with heart and a little mischief, this one is for you.Christian's Website: https://www.churstpublishing.com/Find more on my site: https://richardsonsrubicon.com/rug-pulls-not-plot-holes/

Ho Ho Ho, Alex here! (a real human writing these words, this needs to be said in 2025) Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate) and welcome to the very special yearly ThursdAI recap! This was an intense year in the world of AI, and after 51 weekly episodes (this is episode 52!) we have the ultimate record of all the major and most important AI releases of this year! So instead of bringing you a weekly update (it's been a slow week so far, most AI labs are taking a well deserved break, the Cchinese AI labs haven't yet surprised anyone), I'm dropping a comprehensive yearly AI review! Quarter by quarter, month by month, both in written form and as a pod/video! Why do this? Who even needs this? Isn't most of it obsolete? I have asked myself this exact question while prepping for the show (it was quite a lot of prep, even with Opus's help). I eventually landed on, hey, if nothing else, this will serve as a record of the insane week of AI progress we all witnessed. Can you imagine that the term Vibe Coding is less than 1 year old? That Claude Code was released at the start of THIS year? We get hedonicly adapt to new AI goodies so quick, and I figured this will serve as a point in time check, we can get back to and feel the acceleration! With that, let's dive in - P.S. the content below is mostly authored by my co-author for this, Opus 4.5 high, which at the end of 2025 I find the best creative writer with the best long context coherence that can imitate my voice and tone (hey, I'm also on a break!

In Chapter 40 of The Book of Trump, Ghost dives deep into the 2008 Russo-Georgian War and frames it as a defining point of no return for Vladimir Putin. This episode explores how the conflict in Georgia set the template for future confrontations between Russia and the Western unipolar order, long before Ukraine became the focal point. Ghost walks through the historical, political, and intelligence backdrop of the Caucasus region, unpacking color revolutions, NATO expansion, and the role of Western-backed NGOs and leadership pipelines. By tracing key figures, strategic decisions, and media narratives, this chapter argues that the Georgian conflict was not an isolated event but the precursor to the modern geopolitical battlefield. Putin's response is examined as a calculated stand against a post–Cold War security architecture that Russia would no longer accept. This episode connects dots across decades to explain why 2008 marked Putin's Rubicon—and why the consequences still echo today.

We'll explore how he tackled the unique challenges of crafting authentic yet accessible language, developed rich cultural and religious backdrops, and even incorporated a chilling take on zombies inspired by ancient myths.Whether you're an aspiring writer, a fan of historical fantasy, or just curious about the creative process behind an ambitious project like this, there's something here for you.

Distinguished co-host Techbro Tito joins me once again to discuss the latest developments in the slow-rolling domestic Color Revolution. What are the implications of the recent public statement by Democrat politicians about resisting “illegal orders” and what does that portend for the future? How should we contextualize and respond to the Right's continued focus on shitposting as a substitute for action, and how do we discern the difference between influencers who will lead their followers down a dead end of empty rhetoric versus those who offer guidance with a goal of substantive action?These are some of the topics that will be fleshed out and expanded on in our upcoming four part series, but tune in for a sample of what's to come.

In this special episode of Tim Talks, Tim sits down with dealer principal Tim Pohanka to unpack one of the most creative, daring, and downright fun marketing experiments the automotive world has seen in years. Pohanka and two other Nissan dealer principals each bought a sub-$10,000 used Nissan, added minimal modifications, and embarked on a 1,200-mile off-road endurance challenge across Utah's most brutal terrain — from the Bonneville Salt Flats to Moab, Little Sahara, Cathedral Valley, and more. With more than 150 hours of drone, in-car, and cinematic footage, the “Tour Detour” chronicles not only the punishing journey but also the surprising durability of these inexpensive vehicles, particularly the much-debated Nissan CVT.What emerges is more than a road trip. It's a blueprint for modern dealership storytelling: raw, human, adventurous, and anchored in authenticity instead of polished ad scripts. The conversation dives into how this grassroots project reshapes consumer perception, celebrates the joy of the American road trip, and proves that creativity in auto retail still has endless room to grow. It's part entertainment, part marketing masterclass, and fully a reminder that the car business can — and should — still be fun.Takeaways0:00 — Why leadership and creativity still define the best dealerships.0:50 — $6k Nissans pushed through a 1,200-mile off-road challenge.1:51 — Moab, Little Sahara, Cathedral Valley, UTV parks, Telluride — some of the harshest environments in America.2:44 — 150 Hours of cinematic footage to tell a story OEMs can't.3:57 — The journey starts at the Bonneville Salt Flats, where Tim's grandfather once raced4:38 — Nissan's CVT has taken heat, but the team intentionally tried to break it… and couldn't. 7:14 — A local Utah man keeps his shop open until 11 PM to rescue the crew.8:01 — A badly timed jump at Swing Arm City launches Tim's roof rack into the air.9:12 — Most people can't afford a $70k Bronco or Rubicon but a $10k adventure car? That's relatable and inspiring.10:46 — How storytelling and authenticity outperform today's noisy, overly polished ads.12:12 — The Tour Detour clips now help humanize the dealership and show real-world use cases customers trust.15:45 — After surviving impossible terrain, Tim can hardly part with his Nissan.17:50 — A Challenge to Dealerships Everywhere: Every store can tell authentic stories that make cars fun again.Connect with Tim Pohanka on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timpohanka/Watch the Tour Detour: https://thetourdetour.com/Connect with Tim Cox on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-cox-29065a7/Listen to more episodes of Tim Talks at: https://www.carnow.com/timtalks/

After winning multiple scholarships and awards - including the University Medal in History at both Acadia University and the University of Dundee, and the CLB Award at Dalhousie Law School - filmmaker Paul Kimball graduated from Acadia in 1989 with an Honours Degree in History and Political Science, and in 1992 from Dalhousie with a law degree. Paul began his media career in college, as the arts & entertainment editor of The Athenaeum at Acadia, and the host of a number of radio shows on CKIC 790 AM. After graduating from law school, he spent seven years as a musician and producer, founding both Tall Poppies and Julia's Rain, seminal bands of the alternative music movement in Halifax during the 1990s, and producing or managing a number of others. A former Program Administrator at the Nova Scotia Film Development Corporation, and consultant for Salter Street Films and several provincial governments, Paul founded the Halifax-based production company Redstar Films Limited in 1999.

The Rubicon - 50 year mortgages will be a health crisis! James talks about his shameful days selling mortgages in the early 2000's.

In this special episode, I'm sharing something deeply personal: a first listen to my upcoming book, “You Are Unforgettable: Build a Personal Brand That Gets You Paid.” After three years of writing, editing, and pouring everything I've learned about reinvention and personal branding into these pages, I'm proud to announce that the book officially releases December 16th on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Today, I'm bringing you the Preface, titled “Crossing The Rubicon.” It is a story about taking a leap, betting on yourself, and stepping fully into who you were meant to be. Then using that to your advantage by building a personal brand around it.  This episode is for anyone standing at that edge, ready to cross their own Rubicon. When the book releases on December 16th, I'd be incredibly grateful for your support by grabbing a copy, sharing it with a friend, and leaving a review to help spread the message. Better yet, please send this episode out to everyone you know! ✨ “You Are Unforgettable: Build a Personal Brand That Gets You Paid”

In this episode of The Untrapped Podcast, Keith gets blunt about breaking plateaus in your landscaping business. Stuck doing the same $300 jobs and wondering why nothing changes? Keith shares how he raised prices, lost the wrong clients, and rebuilt around higher-ticket, white-glove packages—think bundling gutters, shrub trims, bed edging, windows, and lawn care into one profitable day. He digs into math-first pricing, route density, and incremental increases (small for existing clients, bigger for new) so your average ticket and net margin finally move. No victim mindset, no busywork trophies—just a hard "cross the Rubicon" moment: choose ownership, package value, market smarter in targeted neighborhoods, and aim for profit per day (not hours worked). If you're ready to stop playing small and start stacking real wins, this one's your wake-up call.     "When the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing — that's when you change." – Keith Kalfas   Topics Covered: The real definition of insanity in business Why raising prices feels scary (but necessary) The "higher-ticket jobs" breakthrough The power of packaged services Route density, travel time, and profit killers When staying the same becomes more painful than changing Victim mindset vs. ownership Why entertainment-driven content makes growth harder   Key Takeaways Raise Prices—Incrementally and IntentionallyBump existing clients in small steps, quote new clients higher. Confidence + consistency = better margins without a mass exodus. Chase Average Ticket, Not Hours Design your pricing around profit per day. Bigger tickets + fewer trips = cleaner math and calmer schedule. Tighten Your Route, Grow Your Wallet Route density kills dead time. Shorter drives, less fuel, more jobs done—that's real margin.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

In this hard-hitting monologue episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, host Bryan Dawson, CEO of 1819 News, breaks down the "flea flicker" political plays being run on Alabama values. Using football as a metaphor, Dawson exposes how opponents manipulate public opinion to advance agendas that erode traditional values—warning listeners to spot the setup at the line of scrimmage before the snap. Using previous major political failures as game film, he traces the path liberals have used to attain power. Talking points repeated ad nauseum, paying off people of influence, and employing the power of media is the flea flicker that our foes continue to use and we can't seem to stop them. Dawson explains how this same strategy normalized LGBTQ ideology, starting with "love is love" talking points, turning into media saturation via shows like Will & Grace, which led to the Obergefell decision, which forced same sex marriage onto all 50 states. The downward spiral has turned into gay pride parades, the trans agenda, and now homosexual men adopting young boys. What could go wrong? This downward spiral started with a few talking points being repeated ad nauseum and ended with gay couples renting women's wombs to create designer babies. In a democracy, the only thing you need to move your political objectives forward is to win the battle for public opinion and the left has mastered this play. Next, Dawson reveals the Alabama Education Association's (AEA) rebrand from a liberal powerhouse—once dictating votes from the gallery under Paul Hubbert—to a "conservative Christian" entity cozying up to Republican supermajority legislators with big checks and conservative rhetoric. Despite being an affiliate of the radical Marxist NEA, the AEA infiltrated the GOP, stalled school choice, and is now pushing homeschool regulation after losing public school enrollment. Their conservative mask slipped with their communicated intent to regulate homeschoolers, and when they recently made a $100,000 donation to Marxist Mobile mayoral candidate, Barbara Drummond. Finally, Dawson sounds the alarm on creeping Islamic influence, dubbing the Islamic activists in Hoover the emerging "Hoover Caliphate." Drawing parallels to Dearborn and Minneapolis, he cites grooming scandals in the UK, H-1B visa labor displacement, and a personal encounter with a young Muslim woman offering partnership and funds to 1819 News—rejecting it as a conquest play masked in shared "Republican values." This Islamic play is the play that is about to be run, and Dawson encourages everyone to see it for what it is so it can be stopped before putting any points on the board. Dawson urges vigilance: don't allow our kindness to be weaponized against us. Reject pay-for-play media, refuse tainted money, and call out infiltration before cultural subversion becomes demographic dominance. You won't want to miss this powerful episode.

Shannon Rowan discusses her fascinating book "The Red Shoes: Our Devil's Dance with Technology and How We Can Stop It" on whether digital technologies have crossed the Rubicon from being mere tools to becoming our masters and whether they may even inherently be evil. From the harms of EMF and EMR, to the effects of screen technology on children and adult internet addiction, the internet is wrecking havoc on society. She also looks at some of the mysterious DARPA origins of this technology and little known facts, such as how the CIA's MKULTRA predecessor was known as Project Bluebird, and isn't it interesting how Twitter's initial logo was a bluebird? She also covers solutions which includes "rewilding ourselves". Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

President Trump and his “Secretary of War” addressed hundreds of generals and admirals this week to prime our military's top brass for a new enemy: the "enemy within"; how this government shutdown has laid bare that Congress is more broken than ever under rule of Republicans' who pledge fealty to the president; and gone are the days of “regular order' in Congress, which would have the late Sen. John McCain rolling in his grave. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Send us a textThis week, Big Rich sits down with rising Ultra4 racer Matthew Slyngstad. Born and raised in San Jose, Matthew shares how a teenage speeding ticket steered him into a slow Jeep—and a fast off-road life. From cello and wrestling in high school to wrenching summers in the family construction business, he built the fabrication chops that power his racing today.Highlights: ·       Early days: Bay Area roots, yearbook photo editor, wrestling, and a love for the outdoors. ·       Montana years: slower pace, more dirt—fishing, wheeling, and hunting. - Dogs and discipline: competing in Schutzhund with a powerhouse German Shepherd. – ·       First Jeep mods: rock sliders as his first welding project; Rubicon trips that sparked bigger builds. ·       Ultra4 entry: mentored by Jack Taggart and welcomed into Jason Scherer's Rage 4 team; pit crew to Baja 1000 with Ford's programs. ·       The leap to racing: buying a 4800 car just weeks before KOH 2025; pre-running, shock tuning, and sponsor hustling. ·       Race day rollercoaster: comms failure at the start, blazing desert pace, a boulder impact and broken rear upper link, pit heroics—and a proud finish, 18th in class. – Shoutout to the entire Rage 4th crew—and old-school legend Jeff Mello—for making the dream real.Support the show

The IPO market may be slowing down, but the discipline of operating like a public company has never been more important. In this episode, CJ is joined by Chad Gold, CFO of FullStory and veteran operator with previous stints at G2, SalesLoft, and Rubicon, to discuss how capital markets and financing strategies are shifting in real time. Chad explains why more companies are staying private longer, how the rise of private credit is changing the CFO toolkit, and why building IPO-ready discipline matters even if you never go public. The conversation also dives into one of his specialties—pricing models and sales incentives—covering how seat-based, usage, and blended structures influence rep behavior, comp plans, and long-term revenue quality, as well as how the wrong incentives can quietly derail a business. Finally, Chad reflects on lessons from his early career at Home Depot and how fundamentals from retail operations still inform his instincts in SaaS today.—LINKS: Chad Gold on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chadgold/Fullstory: https://www.fullstory.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222 Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:G2 CFO Chad Gold on Building A Durable Career as a Venture Backed Exec:Big Systems Thinking for Building a Finance Org: Advice From a Zoom Hypergrowth Survivor:—TIMESTAMPS:(02:14) Sponsors – Mercury | RightRev | Tipalti(06:10) What's New at FullStory(09:22) Hypotheses, Data, and Unlocking Use Cases(10:13) Early CFO Career and the Evolution of Data(11:09) From Deterministic Models to Analytics-Driven Forecasting(12:17) Cohorts, Segmentation, and Revenue Quality(13:17) Why Companies Stay Private Longer(15:28) Sponsors – Aleph | Rillet | Fidelity P.S.(19:01) Capital Flows Into Hot Sectors Like AI and Cybersecurity(20:20) More Companies Going Private Than Public(21:41) Costs and Tradeoffs of Being Public(22:46) Secondary Markets and Access to Top Companies(24:14) Staying Private Longer and CFO Planning(25:29) Keeping the Org Exit-Ready(26:10) The Rise of Private Credit(27:37) Banks vs. Venture Debt After SVB(30:47) Pricing Models Across Chad's CFO Roles(35:47) How to Incentivize Sales Reps Across Pricing Models(43:26) Lessons From Home Depot + Lightning Round—SPONSORS:Mercury is business banking built for builders, giving founders and finance pros a financial stack that actually works together.

The Rubicon crew prepares for their next mission, butt the state of the Galaxy doesn't make their choice easy.  

President Donald Trump has, according to many legal experts, crossed the Rubicon.After years of railing against his perceived enemies and publicly threatening to use the government for revenge, he's pressured the Justice Department to bring charges against someone he hates despite warnings from top prosecutors.Late last week, a grand jury narrowly indicted former FBI Director James Comey on allegations that he lied to Congress in 2020. The 5-year statute of limitations was set to expire on Tuesday.So, how independent is the DOJ? And how much independence should it have? We talk about how the Justice Department is treating Trump's enemies and also how it's treated his friends.Find more of our programs online.Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ atplus.npr.org/the1a.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

A federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges of making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. In this recording from a Substack livestream, Preet and Joyce Vance, former U.S. Attorney and co-host of the Insider podcast, share their reactions to the Comey indictment and the danger of politicizing law enforcement, describing it as a moment that has “crossed the Rubicon.” They break down the lead-up to the charges, the merits of the case and the strength of the evidence, the reactions from Comey and from Trump's supporters, and how the case is likely to unfold.

Base just crossed its own Rubicon. After months of saying “no token,” Jesse Pollak now says Base must decentralize and is “exploring” a token. What changed?  On this episode, Proof of Play's ICO Beast and former Coinbase Ventures investor Ryan Yi unpack why “exploring” is the operative word, how policy (the Clarity Act) could shape the rollout, and what a points-driven airdrop might look like.  We dig into governance realism (what Coinbase will and won't give up), token utility and valuation math, and how a Base↔Solana bridge could ignite a fight for DeFi liquidity while Solana keeps winning Gen-Z consumers. Mantle is pioneering "Blockchain for Banking" — a revolutionary new category at the intersection of TradFi and web3. Thank you to our sponsor Mantle! Follow Mantle to learn more.

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin has been apprehended, but there seems to be more to the story. Here's what we know about Tyler Robinson so far. Left wing violence is excused and accompanied by calls for toning down the rhetoric. Meanwhile, a YouGov poll shows a possible reason why Leftists are celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. Prominent Leftists are now spreading lies about Charlie Kirk's messages.
