A woman is found at the bottom of a staircase in 1560. And the one person who benefits most from it is the Queen of England. This week I'm digging into one of the wildest what-ifs in Tudor history. Amy Robsart, wife of Robert Dudley, dies suddenly at Cumnor Place, right when the rumors were already swirling that Dudley meant to get rid of her so he could marry Elizabeth I. The obstacle is gone. The queen could have married the man she loved. And she said no anyway. I wanted to know what would have happened if she'd said yes. Turns out it touches everything, her entire approach to foreign policy, the Mary Queen of Scots plots, even whether she'd ever have had to sign that execution warrant. There's no clean answer here, and that's what makes it such a good one. Also, quick note, I've built an app called Tudor Scroll.

(Book A Stay At a Haunted AirBNB) *** Sawney Bean, said to be the leader of a 45-member clan in Scotland, is infamously accused of murdering and cannibalizing over 1,000 people in the early 16th century. His story inspired the horror film, ‘The Hills Have Eyes.' But did Sawney Bean ever truly exist? (The Man Who Inspired ‘The Hills Have Eyes') *** Nestled in the Kentish Weald, the quaint village of Stalisfield boasts a thousand-year-old church and timeless tranquility. But beneath its serene surface, whispers of ancient pagan rites and dark ceremonies linger. Could the chilling past of sacrificial rituals still echo through the village today? (The Stalisfield Blade) *** As dusk fell, a pickup truck pulled up to a motel outside Tarzana. Inside, Brother Elzibah and his monks prepared for a perilous mission, recording martyr statements and arming themselves with explosives. Their target on December 10, 1958: Krishna Venta, a self-styled prophet in Box Canyon. This night promised a dramatic showdown that would mark a violent chapter in the history of American spiritual communes, and the country's cults.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 29, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness roams from haunted rental homes you can book for the night to a Scottish cannibal legend, a Kentish village's whispered sacrifice rites, and the dynamite that ended a Southern California cult.It opens with a tour of haunted Airbnbs scattered across the United States and beyond, from Hobo Hill House in Jefferson City, Missouri — a 1910 American Foursquare where sightings of a man in a top hat drove the Clark family out and onto "The Dead Files" — to the Parks-Bowman Mansion in New Orleans, where guests booking the dead girl's bedroom report a young spirit in a yellow dress who hums lullabies and paces with a limp. The Kahn Hotel in Jefferson, Texas has logged over 300 paranormal investigations and one recording of a woman's scream followed by a gunshot; Farnam Manor in Richfield, Ohio traces its haunting to the owner's daughter drowning in a well in 1834; and a converted 1900 schoolhouse sits inside Cedar Park Cemetery in Hudson, New York, complete with an 18th-century opium wedding bed. The Creole Mansion in New Orleans, built in 1855 for Louise Vitry, and the Terlingua ghost-town casita overlooking Big Bend round out a list that stretches from Salem, Massachusetts to York, England.From there the episode turns to Sawney Bean, the legendary patriarch of a 45-member clan said to have lived in Bennane Cave along the Scottish coast, robbing, murdering, and cannibalizing more than 1,000 travelers across roughly 25 years before King James VI led a manhunt that ended in the men being executed and the women burned at the stake. Historical records first mention Bean in 1755, a century after he supposedly lived, and Scottish historian Dr. Louise Yeoman argues the tale may have started as English propaganda, with the name "Sawney" serving as a period slur against Scots. Wes Craven credited the Bean legend as the direct inspiration for his film The Hills Have Eyes.Next comes Stalisfield, a tiny hamlet in the Kentish Weald with a thousand-year-old church and The Plough Inn, where old villagers speak of pagan harvest rites tied to a flint sacrifice knife hewn from Kentish stone. The stories describe animals slaughtered on a sarsen stone and, in the darkest tellings, a golden-haired virgin tied to a stake, dismembered with the flint blade, her blood collected in a golden vessel and her ashes mixed with seed and scattered into the corners of the fields — corners locals still avoid after dark, marked by their overgrowth.The episode closes with Krishna Venta, born Francis Herman Pencovic in San Francisco in 1911, a barefoot self-styled prophet who claimed to have been born half a million years earlier on a planet called Neophrates and founded the WKFL Foundation on a 23-acre glen in Box Canyon. Two disaffected monks, Ralph Muller and Peter Kamenoff — who had taken the names Elzibah and Jeroham and accused Venta of sleeping with their wives — recorded martyr statements at a Tarzana motel and drove to the commune on December 10, 1958 with twenty sticks of dynamite in a musette bag. The blast lifted the top off the stone monastery, was heard more than 20 miles away, and killed ten people, including Venta, Cardinal Gene, and two children from the dormitories, seven-year-old Keela Baker and eleven-year-old Elwyn; survivors later scattered into other movements, among them members who died in Jonestown alongside Jim Jones' Peoples Temple in 1978.

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. This segment details the rise of the New Model Army, a professionalized force led by Sir Thomas Fairfax and the committed Puritan Oliver Cromwell. Following the decisive Battle of Naseby in 1645, the King's forces were routed. Internal debates emerged over the future of the nation, notably the Putney Debates, where radical Levelers argued for manhood suffrage against Henry Ireton, who favored property-based voting. After Charles made a secret treaty with the Scots, leading to a second civil war, Ireton and other radicals concluded that the King must be tried for treason to ensure public safety. (5)1650

Fairytale expert, Kate Forsyth travels back in time to the stories of her youth, to a dark, fantastical and eerie world where cruelty and mischief abound.As a young girl, Kate was sent to stay with her great aunts in Newcastle and there was introduced to the darkness, magic and mystery of Scottish folklore.These stories lit Kate's imagination on fire, and let to a lifetime of study into these powerful stories and the messages behind them.One true story from this period that stayed with Kate was the treacherous and dramatic life story of Mary, Queen of Scots, who, in the telling, was only a few years older than the teenaged Kate.Intertwined with the true Scottish history were dark, fantastical and eerie accounts about cruel and mischievous fairies who would leave their young in place of human babies, as ‘changelings'. This world abounded with magic - hazelnuts that give the power of invisibility and curses that cause boys to dance to their death.These legends also feature brave and ingenious girls who figure out how to rescue the sick and cursed through their own wits and knowledge of the natural world.Further informationThe Changeling is published by Penguin Random House.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

While referees and commentators stumble over the interpretation of the laws and player roles, our panel of three gives more daylight on the latest rugby than Paul de Villiers in a Bok turnover. From the Baby Boks to the B-team, it was an action packed weekend of international rugby. This was a bumper episode - make sure to use the full shot clock to get it all in. We unpack South Africa's victory over Scotland and Rassie's post-match suggestion that the Scots could now be the third-best side in the world. Is there really a changing of the guard happening at the top of international rugby? Or are people suffering from remarkably short memories after the Springboks comfortably dispatched both France and New Zealand the last time they met? Elsewhere, Ireland's trip to "Japan" sparks one of the biggest off-field talking points of the tournament. Why were Japan forced to give up a home fixture? Should teams be allowed to dictate where they play? And after yet another compromise in the competition's opening year, the panel jokingly arrives at one obvious solution: kick Ireland out of rugby. Australia once again show flashes before fading against a stacked French side, prompting discussion around Joe Schmidt's tenure, whether Dave Rennie deserved more time, and just how frightening France's depth has become. With Jalibert, Ntamack, Dupont and a seemingly endless conveyor belt of talent, are Les Bleus now the only nation capable of matching the Springboks for squad depth? And why does Ant love the Wallabies so much? Plus the All Blacks' "pump and dump" approach to player selection, foreign-born internationals popping up in unexpected places, and why having too many good players isn't always the worst problem to have.

It's a week of breaking press conferences and transatlantic sporting drama. This week, Lesley and Fraser try to find their feet amidst a fast-moving political news cycle, broadcasting through recycling collection interruptions and unexpected announcements. From Donald Trump's latest ego-driven phone call to FIFA to Nigel Farage's high-stakes scramble over undeclared cash and property portfolios, we unpack the creeping Americanisation and deep-seated corruption sweeping modern politics. Meanwhile, we look South at Andy (the North) Burnham's patronising stance on Scottish devolution and question how the grassroots independence movement can move forward cleanly with its campaign funds. In this episode, we discuss:Trump, FIFA, and Waffles: We chew over Donald Trump's ridiculous phone call to FIFA to get a player's red card ban delayed—a move that spectacularly backfired as Belgium thumped the US team 4-1 anyway. We dive into the corporate corruption of FIFA rolling into town tax-free, leaving host nations like South Africa lumbered with multi-billion-pound bills.  Farage's Clacton Crisis: Recorded right before his 2 PM showdown, we analyse breaking news regarding Nigel Farage's future in public life. Under intense scrutiny over undeclared security cash, luxury stays, and a mortgage-free £4 million property portfolio, the donations he has received from crypto-billionaires and convicted fraudsters, we ask: is he about to jump before he's pushed by a Standards Commission recall petition?  The King of the North vs. Scottish Self-Determination: We dissect Andy Burnham's predictable words to the Scots, offering regional devolution crumbs while denying Scotland the right to choose its own constitutional future. We contrast this with the media's sudden interest in an Irish border poll, noting how Scotland's constitutional fight is being woundingly ignored by the wider news cycle.  Cleaning Up the Indy Dosh: With questions lingering over old Yes Scotland accounts and the potential return of Peter Murrell's misappropriated SNP money, Fraser and Lesley look at how to build trust. We debate the necessity of setting up an independent fun managed by a well-respected, neutral board to confidently kickstart a fresh independence campaign for 2027.

Mary, Queen of Scots was executed on February 8th, 1587, on the strength of a decoded letter and a forged postscript that Elizabeth's spymaster slipped into her own secret code. But what if that letter never got decoded at all? In this episode I pull that one thread and follow it all the way out. No execution means no closure for Elizabeth, a murkier justification for the Spanish Armada, and a genuinely messier road to the Union of the Crowns in 1603, the moment that eventually gives us the United Kingdom as we know it. One coded letter in a beer barrel, and everything after it tips sideways.This is part of my ongoing What If series, where I take real Tudor history and nudge it just slightly off its actual path to see what breaks.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comAre you proud of America? It can be a complicated question. Sarah and Nancy tackle the topic of patriotism and whether American is an unfinished experiment or a beautiful place unlike any other country. (But wait: Why can't it be both?) We talk about a Tom Hanks-produced Netflix series on the nation's founding, The American Experiment, which shows how much in-fighting and compromise were part of the country's creation. The series also introduces us to a peg-legged lady killer who wrote much of the Constitution (Gouverneur Morris) and confirms that Alexander Hamilton was, indeed, a hottie. Nancy just moved into her new pad, so you'll have to excuse a) the slight echo and b) the three (?) different times she had to leave to attend to a mover. Also discussed:* True or False: Sarah is a flower girl at Taylor Swift's wedding* True or False: Semiquincentennial is a real word* Happy graduation, Megan!* The downward mobility of college grads* That time Sarah doubled-down on becoming un-hireable* American Dream: Beautiful or unfinished? Let's debate!* “They tried to take away football”* JD Vance, Ben Rhodes, Zohran Mamdani, Al Gore* “What's a buggy whip?”* The Scots love Boston* Croats > Brits* James Madison isn't black???* George Washington: Amazing man, maybe not the most fun at the kegger* Writers who get our love: Emily Yoffe, Pamela Colloff, William Finnegan* How to make Nancy swoon?

Send us Fan MailI tell you my favorite part of my Scotland Trip and tie it to a great story about Mary Queen of Scots and a severed head! The Tom Sandoval and Victoria Lee Robinson fire pit video just dropped and I have exclusive details that are NOT being reported anywhere else. I'm breaking down exactly what was really happening in that room before the cameras caught it, why Tom Sandoval pushed Victoria Lee Robinson's father Will Robinson into the lit fire pit, and the real reason this all exploded on June 3rd. I also walk you through Vanderpump Rules Alumni, Tom Sandoval's entire toxic relationship history with Kristen Doute, Ariana Madix, Rachel Leviss, and now Victoria Lee Robinson because once you see the pattern across every single relationship, you will never look at this Vanderpump Rules star the same way again. Was Tom Sandoval the victim here or is this the same playbook he always runs? I'm giving you the timeline, the receipts, and the tea that changes everything. I also got EXCLUSIVE TEA that no one else has about this story and most of that is in the Dishing Drama Dana Patreon! I'm dropping the bombshell detail about something Tom Sandoval allegedly forced Victoria Lee Robinson to do that caused her tremendous pain, the proof that could blow up his entire case, the real reason Ladies of London: The New Reign got cancelled and who I think is behind the rumor going around, a Caroline Manzo family member taking shots at Jacqueline Laurita, and Part 2 of my mind-blowing conversation with UAP filmmaker Darcy Weir exposing every single Cosmic Disclosure grifter on Gaia TV one by one — and trust me, you have never heard anything like it.

Toe to toe, pressure versus pressure, and it came down to the final couple of balls with one of the more dramatic finishes, and one of the longest final overs, you'll ever see.

The city of New York is still riding the Knicks high with some incredible parade content from the now infamous twerker (@sophpassalaqua, @tmz). The Europeans are still taking over the USA and bringing us lots of great moments: from the Norwegians rowing chant on the NYC subway (@lilssob/) to the Scots in Miami (@fraserglen796). And let's not forget Norwegian player Erling Haaland's Birkin collection (@jack.savoie). Dena's FYP takes a hard right into Jojo Siwa territory with content from her “cruise” (@benoftheweek) and of course there's always time for Tyra Banks content - this time it's her book (@lordes3rdalbum) and defunct theme park (question mark?) (@holdensmith962). And based on the “What's your coffee order?” trend, Dena will be drinking pure sugar (@mrs.sarahann). Ashley is getting some intense workout content about a Corepower diehard (@rellimrolyat) and more Love Island from one of her favorite creators, @themarcosgonzalez. A creator spotlight is shone on @jacobjeffries who has been creating some incredibly catchy tunes (“wooly mammoth and a mastodon!”). And a Chipotle corn salsa hack in the food section is going to be a definite YES for Ashley but not Dena (@makeupmaddie). Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The contents of these volumes of 'Celebrated Crimes', as well as the motives which led to their inception, are unique. They are a series of stories based upon historical records, from the pen of Alexandre Dumas, pere, when he was not "the elder," nor yet the author of D'Artagnan or Monte Cristo, but was a rising young dramatist and a lion in the literary set and world of fashion.The third volume is devoted to the story of Mary Queen of Scots, another woman who suffered a violent death, and around whose name an endless controversy has waged. Dumas goes carefully into the dubious episodes of her stormy career, but does not allow these to blind his sympathy for her fate. Mary, it should be remembered, was closely allied to France by education and marriage, and the French never forgave Elizabeth the part she played in the tragedy.Translated by George Burnham Ives.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Joey Boats is back to talk about the recent infestation of Scots in Boston and more

Keep them everywhere, like ibuprofen. You never know when you need them.  We have thoughts about Giants pitchers, DOJ and Attorneys General wasting taxpayer dollars on non issues, bigotry having consequences, and the chance for Book Club Girl to say Pride and Prejudice on a baseball podcast. The World Cup continues to provide endless opportunities for cross-training. Ecuador/Curaçao brings out the boyfriends, we've got a slippery slope of mouth covering with intent, there's the welcome mats extended to Scots and Vikings and rolled up for many other countries (again we say, why is the US allowed to host?), and some creative letter but not spirit of the law following by Gillette and Levis. There's the first cycle of the season, and then the first for Bryce (thanks, Schwarbs!). Drake comes back and hits a ball really, really, far.  Nasim finally makes Pottymouth's team. JJ's fifth grade teacher gets her 5 minutes of fame. And Patti definitely keeps Jazz around for comic relief.We say, “The only beer in Massachusetts,” “Some salsa, some merengue, and some Crazy Train,” and “Lord Provost of the Fantasy League.” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we talk about car watches, a curious subgenre within our hobby. Sure, the automobile industry is massive and has an equally huge fan base, but collaborations between watch and car brands often misfire. This draws us into a conversation about what we think of when pairing our vehicles with a watch. Whether it's for driving or attending a related event, what works best?Yes, in this episode, we tackle a challenging topic. Or, for some of our readers and listeners, perhaps it isn't a consideration at all. Car watches have been a focal point since wristwatches were first created. Angled dials meant to help drivers tell time at a glance have been produced by many marques. Then, an obvious complication associated with cars and racing is the chronograph. This is the most common platform for pieces made for Formula One teams and other automotive brands. We find many of these too on the nose, with overt branding that may only appeal to an owner of a car from the related maker. So, what should we wear when driving our fun cars or when heading off to a get-together or race?HandgelenkskontrolleFolks, it's hot out there, so we kick off our show by talking about the oppressive heat and the need for more air conditioning. Then, we mention the World Cup and all the great stories we've seen about visitors enjoying fun restaurants and customs in America. Once again, the Scots have endeared themselves to the locals. Travel-wise, Balazs just returned from Los Angeles, where he organized a Chrono24 get-together with our friends from the Spirit of Time podcast. Nearly 60 people came together at a Pasadena brewery to share their passion for watches. Mike visited the Icons of Porsche: Sunstede Silverstone Edition event celebrating Porsche's 75th anniversary in the UK. It was an incredible showing of cars and car culture. It's also what led us to our main topic — car watches.For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing one of the watches he took to California. It's none other than his prized Rolex GMT-Master 1675. Mike is still on a vintage chronograph kick and is wearing his Lemania-powered Meylan chronograph with a decimal scale.Car watchesCurrent and past horological catalogs are littered with car watches. You know, when a watch brand decides to sponsor a racing team or become the official partner of a prestigious luxury automaker. Very few are good, while most are tacky or overbranded. So, on the heels of the Porsche event, it got us thinking about the right pieces to wear when enjoying all things petrolhead. We both wholeheartedly agree that Heuer is the unequivocal leader for motorsport-related driving and race-inspired timepieces. However, it's the surprising Omega Speedmaster, in any form, that checks in as a no-nonsense racing-related model. This is despite its fame as a space watch.Other watches, including the Amida Digitrend, Omega Chronostop, and the Vacheron Constantin American 1921, arise as driver-focused pieces. Regarding newer ones, mechaquartz movements have helped inspire some attractive, robust models. The Bamford Mayfair 2.0 is a fun, brightly colored chronograph with an interchangeable case ready for any event. We close out with our ultimate "one and done" watch to wear for anything car-related. For Mike, the Heuer Carrera 2447 is pure perfection. Balazs has also chosen a Heuer, but he sees the Monaco as the ultimate car watch.Thanks for listening to today's episode! As always, feel free to let us know if you have topics for future episodes.

Tom Shattuck of the Maine Wire is filling in for Howie today, and he discusses the Scots and other foreigners enjoying America during the World Cup.

Summer is finally here, and so are the Scots! This week on the show, the hosts are buzzing about the Scottish invasion of Boston, where fans from the UK have been flocking to the city to show their support for their national team. But it's not just the Scots who are making waves - the hosts are also discussing the latest news on tipping, and whether it's a necessary evil or just a silly custom.The hosts dive into the world of tipping, where they explore the differences between the US and other countries, like France and Italy, where tipping is not as common. They share stories of tourists raking in big tips, with one bar back reportedly making $1,500 in a single shift. But is tipping really necessary, or is it just a way to exploit workers? The hosts weigh in on the pros and cons, and share their own experiences with tipping.The conversation also touches on the Scottish invasion, where fans have been leaving a lasting impact on the city. From the bars to the restaurants, the Scots have been leaving their mark, and the hosts discuss the economic impact of their visit. But it's not all good news - the hosts also talk about the challenges faced by local businesses, who are struggling to keep up with the demand.If you're curious about the tipping debate, or want to hear more about the Scottish invasion, tune in to this episode to hear the hosts' thoughts on these hot topics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are tales of Scots descending on Boston in legendary fashion, and whispers that an unexpected condiment may soon conquer Europe. It's a beautiful, once-in-a-generation celebration: strangers becoming friends, cities becoming hosts, and the world's game turning North America into one giant neighborhood. — Slices is created by Scott Sigler and A B Kovacs — Produced by Steve Riekeberg — Production Assistance by Allie Press — Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment  Get out on that ranch (dressing), cowboy!

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (6.18) Conway kicks off the hour with a World Cup spoiler alert and a lesson in how to pronounce Czechia. Then the crew gives major love to Scottish soccer fans, who may be the best fans on Earth after drinking Boston dry, setting a noise record at Gillette Stadium, and somehow partying in a clean, organized way. From drinking kilts to business kilts, the Scots brought the energy. The crew also shouts out the legendary reputation of Japanese soccer fans, who continue to clean up stadiums, locker rooms, and trash left behind after matches. Plus, a big birthday shoutout to Joel! Later, the hour turns serious with a new shelter-in-place order in Boyle Heights after a massive fire, concerns over king tides, beach erosion, and dangerous surf conditions along the California coast. Conway also gets into Waymo vehicles creating a neighborhood nuisance in Westchester by using local streets as a staging area. The hour wraps with the modern financial headache we all know too well: subscriptions to everything. From streaming and apps to food, fitness, software, and mystery monthly charges, Americans are paying more than ever — and Conway asks the big question: how many subscriptions do you actually have?

You already know the story. Or at least the version everybody's been handed down.Clans. Sacred tartans. A warrior culture supposedly older than memory itself.That's the myth. The myth was a product. Somebody built it deliberately, and they built it to sell.The Highland tradition Scots and the global Scottish diaspora treat as ancient was actually constructed between 1760 and 1850 by a specific group of men who understood that identity is a market and nostalgia is a currency. Two con men forged a manuscript that authenticated "ancient" clan tartans no one had ever heard of. A textile mill in Bannockburn ran the supply chain, naming patterns clan-by-clan as they came off the looms. A novelist staged a royal pageant for a politically embarrassed king and used it to launch the brand. A queen turned Balmoral into a content factory that sold the Highland lifestyle to the world.And while all of this was happening, the actual Highlanders were being cleared off their ancestral land and shipped to Nova Scotia. The Highland tradition functioned as a replacement, not a recovery — a product laid carefully over the wound.This isn't conspiracy. It isn't ideology. It's architecture — and the architecture is still operating right now in every DNA-test ancestry package, every airport tartan scarf, every Highland Games in suburban Toronto.In this video:→ Culloden 1746 and the Dress Act: how a piece of cloth got made criminal for 36 years→ James Macpherson and the Ossian forgery (1760): the moment somebody proved romanticized Scottish identity had real commercial value→ The Sobieski Stuart brothers and the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842): the forged manuscript that gave every clan its "ancient" tartan→ Wilson & Sons of Bannockburn: the actual factory where clan tartans were designed first and named afterward→ Walter Scott's choreographed pageant for George IV in 1822: how Scotland got incorporated as a national brand→ Queen Victoria at Balmoral: how the Highland tradition went global→ The six-step playbook for manufacturing a culture — and why it still works todaySubscribe to Hidden Forces in History for civilizational autopsies of the empires, institutions, and patterns shaping the world we live in now.CHAPTERS:00:00 The Myth as Product01:32 Culloden, 1746: The Suppression03:56 The Highland Clearances04:31 James Macpherson and the Ossian Forgery07:00 The Sobieski Stuart Brothers Arrive08:59 The Vestiarium Scoticum11:00 The Wilson Mill at Bannockburn13:03 Walter Scott Choreographs a Pageant14:17 George IV in Pink Tights, 182218:23 Queen Victoria Globalizes the Brand23:05 The Six-Step Playbook30:14 Reading the Ledger

Tommy and Ben are back with a week of bad deals, high-stakes elections, and World Cup joy.The US and Iran have agreed to a deal to end the war, but the Trump administration has refused to release the text to anyone — so the guys parse through what we think we know. The short version: it's a pretty good deal for Iran that meets almost none of the goals Trump set out before the war started, and the nuclear issue hasn't even been touched yet. Then the guys question if Netanyahu will do something to torpedo the whole thing with his continued war against Lebanon. In England, a special election could reshape British politics and set up a direct challenge to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Meanwhile, a spate of developments across England, Italy, France, and Switzerland signal increasing growth for far-right movements in Europe. In Trump world, there's both good and very bad news: Trump backed down on installing Bill Pulte as Director of National Intelligence after bipartisan pushback, and the dismantling of USAID continues to have devastating real-world consequences. And finally, with the World Cup in full swing, Tommy and Ben take a moment to enjoy the fans, from Scots drinking their way across, to Mexican and Korean fans bonding over tequila, and Nigerian fans flying all the way to Mexico just to root against South Africa. At the end of the show, Tommy speaks to CNN's Senior International Correspondent Frederik Pleitgen, about what he saw and heard on his latest reporting trip on the ground in Iran.Buy Ben's book All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches  and subscribe to his Substack here.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Last night's UFC Freedom 250 wasn't just a historic night of fights, it was a massive, pro-America spectacle that captured the entire country's attention. From Justin Gaethje's unforgettable, flag-draped walkout to the stunning pre-fight visuals from the Oval Office, the energy was through the roof. But the real drama exploded outside the cage when Sean Strickland was dramatically escorted out of an invite-only fan event by the Secret Service after leading the crowd in impromptu chants and sparking an intense conversation about free speech in America. We break down the wild optics, and what this means for the sport and the culture.Plus, we are shifting focus to a massive shakeup on the global stage. With the Pakistani Prime Minister announcing a historic Iran-U.S. peace deal set to be signed in Switzerland this week, we tackle the big question: is this a genuine step toward peace, or are we on shaky ground? Especially as Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir fires back, declaring Israel is not subject to the United States. Then, Daily Carry Podcast host Micah Richardson joins the show to give us his expert take on navigating these rapidly changing times.To wrap things up, we are serving up a healthy dose of American pride. With the 2026 World Cup officially underway, international tourists—including an army of invading Scots—are falling head over heels for the simple joys of American culture, cheap fuel, and our "conquer the day" mentality. We react to the viral clips of Europeans reminding us how great we actually have it, look at a wild meltdown from an American woman who couldn't stand patriotism, and finish with a cautionary look at a fiery city council meeting out of Hamtramck, Michigan. You don't want to miss this one—hit play and let's dive in!
