Today's Headlines:  June's inflation rose by 0.3%, putting the annual rate at 2.7%—slightly up, but still within forecasts. Meanwhile, House Republicans voted down Democratic efforts to release Epstein case documents, despite GOP leaders publicly claiming to support transparency. Trump praised AG Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein files while denying any link to the case, but new metadata shows nearly 3 minutes are missing from recently released prison footage. A lawyer for Epstein's victims claimed there's far more unreleased evidence, including thousands of hours of video. ICE has issued a new memo eliminating bond hearings for undocumented immigrants already living in the U.S., affecting millions. A federal grand jury indicted Vance Boelter for the politically motivated killing of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman. Two people died after record-setting flash floods hit NYC and New Jersey, where over two inches of rain fell in one hour. The DOJ appealed a ruling halting race-based immigration arrests in California, and Missouri's Republican AG is threatening OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Microsoft with legal action after a blog claimed an AI ranked Trump worst on antisemitism—despite Microsoft's bot refusing to rank the presidents at all.

This week we're catching up after a massive double-header in the Enduro World Cup. Val di Fassa and La Thuile delivered everything we love about the sport: big mountains, tight racing, and a few surprises along the way. Joining me to break it all down are two riders who know exactly what it takes to perform at the top, Morgane Charre and Greg Callaghan. We get into what those Italian rounds were really like from the inside, from pushing through injuries and dialing in recovery strategies, to the chaos and buzz of night stages, and the emergence of some exciting new talent in both the men's and women's fields. We also took a moment to step back and reflect on the state of Enduro as a whole — where the sport is right now, what's working, and why this season has felt like a positive shift, both on and off the bike. This one's got insight, honesty, and a bit of that good race-weekend energy, so sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Morgane Charre and Greg Callaghan. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Morgane on Instagram @morganecharre. Greg is @greg_callaghan on Instagram and you can find his YouTube channel here.

(July 15,2025)KKTLA & KFI tech reporter Rich DeMuro joins the show for ‘Tech Tuesday.' Today, Rich talks about Samsung's new foldable phones, Google's Gemini has a new video feature, and gone.com a new take on junk pick-up. Drones are the future of warfare, so why is the U.S. not making any? The death of the ‘click to cancel' rule.

The view that porn is inherently harmful seems to be growing. Porn is increasingly described as “addictive” and as a threat to public health. But is this actually true? In today’s show, we're revisiting an important conversation from the archives in which we explore the truth about how porn affects people. My guest is Dr. Nicole Prause, a licensed psychologist and sex researcher who founded the sexual biotechnology company Liberos. She is a former Kinsey Institute trainee and has published an extensive body of research on the neuroscience and psychophysiology of sex. She is currently a scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Department of Medicine. Some of the specific questions we explore in this episode include: What counts as porn? And how do you measure porn use on surveys when different people have different definitions of it? Why are there so many discrepant findings about pornography’s effects in the research? Why shouldn’t we think of porn as addictive? How should we think about it instead? When people identify porn as a problem in their lives, is porn per se really the issue or is there usually something else going on? In what ways can porn potentially have positive effects on people? Learn more about Nicole by following her at @NicoleRPrause over on X and or Bluesky. Got a sex question?

Are Wall Street law firms really the last line of defense for democracy... or just elite power structures protecting their own? This episode of The Brian Nichols Show pulls back the curtain on “lawfare,” elite hypocrisy, and the dangerous double standards that everyday Americans are waking up to. If you've ever wondered why justice feels like it has two rulebooks—one for the powerful and one for the rest of us—this episode is your wake-up call. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In today's conversation, we're joined by attorney and federal law clerk Tom Blakely, who exposes the bizarre argument that defending massive, politically connected law firms is somehow a moral crusade. From revolving doors between big law and the White House to law firms with top-secret clearances representing shady corporate clients, Tom lays out how power isn't just consolidated—it's weaponized. We're not talking abstract legal theory here. This episode dives deep into how average Americans are getting left behind while elite law firms defend corporations poisoning our water, rigging our finances, and escaping accountability. Meanwhile, the political class pretends that they are the victims. Sound backwards? That's because it is. We also tackle the broader culture war erupting under the surface—a class conflict between everyday Americans who are just trying to get by and the insulated elite who jump from private boardrooms to government positions without ever facing consequences. Epstein, Google, the Steele dossier, junk fees—yeah, we go there. By the end of this episode, you'll be asking yourself: Are we watching the fall of the rule of law... or the rise of a new populist reckoning? This isn't about left vs. right. It's about the haves rigging the game against the have-nots. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

This week on Content Is Profit, we're re-releasing two incredibly special episodes featuring the late, great Steve Sims. Steve, an acclaimed coach and bestselling author, profoundly impacted countless lives, including ours. His recent passing was deeply felt across the industry, and in his honor, we're bringing back these powerful conversations. More than just an episode, this is a tribute to Steve's bold, unapologetic spirit and invaluable wisdom. He was a man who fearlessly pursued his dreams, remaining true to himself, and in doing so, attracted an incredible network of successful individuals. Join us as we celebrate his legacy, and prepare to be inspired by a man who helped thousands! Do you know anyone that's worked with Sir Elton John or Elon Musk?  Sent people down to see the wreck of the Titanic on the sea bed? Or closed museums in Florence for a private dinner party and then had Andrea Bocelli serenade them while they eat their pasta? You do now. Steve Sims has crafted a space in the world as someone that can make things happen.  His “I Can” mindset has inspired many to go fight for what they want. He is known as “the Real Life Wizard of Oz”. His skill for making things happen allowed him to build the world's leading experiential concierge firm. Steve is probably one of the most well-connected men on this planet. His daily job is to make the impossible possible. Also, he recently published his book: Bluefishing. In this conversation, we explored:

This guided meditation aims to create space for possibility amidst challenging life situations.While we all encounter challenging situations, I created this meditation for my 12,000 Google fomer colleagues who were laid off a few years ago and the countless others affected by layoffs in the tech sector since then.These layoffs serve as a wake-up call for all of us—a reminder of the significance of intentionality in life and building financial resilience to overcome difficult times.Overview of the PracticeWe begin by finding a comfortable and alert position and taking three deep breaths to focus on the sensation of our breath in our bodies.We practice mindfulness, observing our thoughts with kindness and curiosity.Next, we expand our perspective and recall a challenging situation we are facing—a layoff, a divorce, the loss of a family member or pet.With mindfulness, we observe this situation with a kind and curious awareness.Then, we shift our focus to exploring the possibility of even the smallest positive outcomes in this challenging situation.I sincerely hope this meditation proves helpful as you process your challenges and embrace the opportunities life presents to you.Wishing you all the best on your journey.AdamPS: Introducing the…

When most people think about saving the planet, they picture cutting back on meat and eating more plants. But what if the story we've been told about how plant-based diets equate to sustainability is missing half the truth (and hiding a massive environmental cost)? In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, I pull back the curtain on the industrial food system most people never see.  From the 90 billion honeybees trucked across the country each spring to pollinate almond trees to the 7.3 billion wild animals killed each year by harvest machinery, the data tells a very different story than the slogans. This isn't about pitting vegans against meat-eaters. It's about showing how industrial monoculture destroys soil, collapses insect populations, drains water tables, and kills countless small mammals and pollinators in the name of “clean” eating.  If you're ready to rethink food systems from the soil up, this episode is for you.

Her work weaves together money, meaning, entrepreneurship, and mental well-being — a thread I found both timely and deeply resonant.Before launching Peak360, Elizabeth worked across the Americas in nonprofit settings, and today she's also a sought-after speaker, having led workshops at places like Airbnb, Unity, and Google.She lives in the Bay Area with her husband and daughter, and I can't wait for you to hear the way she approaches personal finance through the lens of both human psychology and long-term vision.Buy The Power of EnoughFacebook: @conversationswithmoneyInstagram: @elizabethhusserlLinkedIn: Elizabeth HusserlSubscribe on Apple Podcast , Spotify or YouTube.Let's connect!Subscribe to my newsletter: Time To Live: Thriving in Business and BeyondWebsite: https://www.annemcginty.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annemcgintyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annemcgintyhost

Co-owners Brittany and Amar share their inspiring journey from longtime friends to business partners, overcoming personal and professional challenges to create a welcoming, community-focused spot. Listeners hear about Ballers' fresh menu, family-friendly atmosphere, and commitment to great service. Building Community, Resilience, and Excellence: The Story and Lessons Behind Ballers Sports Bar in Grayslake There's something special about a hometown sports bar—a place where the food is fresh, the games are always on, and everyone is treated like family. In the latest episode of Discovering Grayslake, host David Wall sits down with Amar and Brittany, the passionate co-owners of Ballers, Grayslake's newest sports bar and restaurant. Their journey is more than just a business story; it's a masterclass in resilience, community-building, and the pursuit of excellence. Whether you're a local entrepreneur, a restaurant enthusiast, or someone who loves a good underdog story, this in-depth look at Ballers offers valuable lessons and actionable insights. Let's break down the key themes and tips from the episode, so you can apply their wisdom to your own ventures—or simply appreciate the heart behind your next burger and beer. 1. Define Your Core Values and Let Them Guide Every Decision The Ballers Acronym: More Than a Name Amar and Brittany didn't just pick a catchy name—they built Ballers around a set of core values, using the word as an acronym: B**elieve: Always believe in yourself and your dreams. A**chieve: Work hard and never give up. L**earn: Knowledge is power; keep learning. L**ove: Love yourself and stay positive. E**njoy: Enjoy life and what you do. R**espect: Treat everyone equally and earn respect by giving it. Actionable Advice: Articulate your values.** Whether you're opening a business or leading a team, define what you stand for. Post these values where your staff and customers can see them. Live your values.** Amar and Brittany treat every guest—neighbor or star athlete—with the same respect and care. This consistency builds trust and loyalty. Let values drive culture.** A values-driven environment attracts like-minded staff and customers, creating a positive feedback loop. 2. Embrace the Power of Community and Personal Connection Creating a “Home Away from Home” Ballers isn't just about sports and food; it's about fostering a sense of belonging. David Wall notes that the best bars and restaurants feel like home, where staff and regulars know each other by name. How Ballers Does It: Warm, friendly service:** From the moment you walk in, you're greeted like family. Personal touches:** Amar and Brittany's playful banter behind the bar adds to the welcoming vibe. Community engagement:** Specials for local car wash customers, discounts for podcast listeners, and a focus on supporting local events. Actionable Advice: Get to know your customers.** Learn their names, their favorite teams, and their stories. Reward loyalty.** Offer discounts, host special events, and recognize your regulars. Be present.** Owners who are visible and engaged set the tone for the entire establishment. 3. Resilience in the Face of Adversity Overcoming Setbacks—Together Opening Ballers wasn't easy. Amar and Brittany faced skepticism, a challenging location, and even a life-altering accident that left Brittany with multiple injuries. Yet, their determination never wavered. Key Takeaways: Lean on your support system.** Amar and Brittany's friendship and partnership helped them push through tough times. Stay positive.** They used naysayers' doubts as motivation. Adapt and persevere.** Even during Brittany's recovery, she stayed involved, inspiring everyone around her.

Celebrate small wins.** Each positive review, returning customer, or successful event is a step forward. Share your story.** Customers connect with authenticity and resilience; don't be afraid to let them in on your journey. 4. Quality and Consistency Are Non-Negotiable Food, Service, and Experience Ballers' menu is a testament to their commitment to quality. From half-pound, farm-to-table Angus burgers to jumbo wings and made-to-order guacamole, every dish is crafted with care. How They Ensure Quality: Invest in equipment:** A great burger needs a great grill. Ballers replaced all kitchen equipment to ensure consistency. Hire experienced staff:** Their head chef, Poncho, brings over 30 years of expertise. Menu design:** Brittany's experience helped create a menu that maximizes ingredient use and maintains high standards. Actionable Advice: Don't cut corners.** Fresh, high-quality ingredients and skilled staff are worth the investment. Consistency is key.** Customers return for the experience they know and love—make sure every visit meets expectations. Solicit feedback.** Use reviews and direct feedback to identify areas for improvement. 5. Smart Menu Planning and Specials Drive Traffic Balancing Variety and Focus Ballers offers a diverse yet focused menu, with crowd-pleasers like the Hangover Burger, flatbreads, and weekly specials (Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, Fish Fry Friday). Menu Insights: Signature items:** Unique offerings like the Hangover Burger set Ballers apart. Weekly specials:** These create routine and give customers a reason to return. Family-friendly options:** A dedicated kids' menu ensures everyone feels welcome. Actionable Advice: Start with your strengths.** Build your menu around what you do best. Rotate specials.** Keep things fresh and give customers something to look forward to. Listen to your market.** Adjust offerings based on customer feedback and demand. 6. Leverage Reviews and Digital Presence The Power of Word-of-Mouth in the Digital Age Amar and Brittany understand that in today's world, Google reviews can make or break a new restaurant. They actively encourage honest feedback and use it to improve. Best Practices: Ask for reviews.** Don't be shy—remind happy customers to share their experiences online. Respond to feedback.** Thank reviewers and address concerns promptly. Monitor your reputation.** Use reviews as a tool for growth, not just validation. Actionable Advice: Make it easy.** Provide QR codes or links to your review pages. Highlight positive reviews.** Share them on social media and in your establishment. Learn from criticism.** Use constructive feedback to refine your offerings and service. 7. Creative Marketing and Community Outreach Standing Out Without a Big Budget Competing with corporate chains is tough, but Ballers uses grassroots marketing and community engagement to build their brand. Strategies That Work: Social media presence:** Regular updates, behind-the-scenes content, and engagement with local groups. Local partnerships:** Discounts for car wash customers, collaborations with nearby businesses. Podcast and word-of-mouth:** Leveraging local media and personal networks. Actionable Advice: Be authentic.** Share your story and your passion—people connect with real people. Get involved.** Sponsor local events, host watch parties, and support community causes. Offer incentives.** Discounts, specials, and loyalty programs encourage trial and repeat visits. 8. Balance Ambition with Realism Growth at the Right Pace Brittany's experience helped keep the menu focused, resisting the urge to add too many items too soon. This ensures quality and consistency, even as they plan for future growth. Actionable Advice: Start simple.** Perfect your core offerings before expanding. Scale thoughtfully.** Add new items or services only when you can maintain your standards. Stay true to your vision.** Don't chase trends that don't fit your brand or capabilities. 9. Prioritize Work-Life Balance and Team Wellbeing The Human Side of Hospitality Amar and Brittany work long hours, but they recognize the importance of eventually delegating and taking time for themselves. Their playful dynamic and mutual respect set a positive example for their team. Actionable Advice: Set boundaries.** Even in the early days, plan for rest and recovery. Build a strong team.** Invest in training and create opportunities for staff to grow. Celebrate together.** Recognize hard work and milestones as a team. 10. Never Underestimate the Power of Kindness Spreading Positivity, One Guest at a Time David Wall closes the episode with a reminder: small acts of kindness—holding a door, sharing a smile, or offering a friendly word—can transform a community. Ballers embodies this spirit, making every guest feel welcome and valued. Actionable Advice: Lead with empathy.** Treat every customer and team member with respect and care. Encourage positivity.** Create an environment where kindness is the norm. Give back.** Support local causes and look for ways to make a difference beyond your business.

Join hosts Clay Edwards, Shaun Yurtkuran, and Lindsey Beckham for another raw, unfiltered dive into the issues shaping America on Uncensored Live. Streaming live every Sunday through Thursday at 8 PM on our social media channels (Facebook, X, YouTube, and Rumble @SaveJXN or Clay Edwards Show), this nightly show delivers honest conversations without the spin. In Episode 7—our second Monday in a row—we're feeling energized and ready to tackle the tough topics, from border policies to historical close calls and beyond. If you missed our underwhelming performance last night (thanks to a killer headache), we're redeeming ourselves tonight!   We kick off with some behind-the-scenes fun: tech glitches in the studio (why can Lindsey hear Clay loud and clear but not Shaun?), a pitch for a new show name—"Unfiltered" instead of "Uncensored" for a fresh twist—and a shoutout to Clay's merch site where you can snag the OG FAFO shirt for just $15 in 2XL (gray or black available now!).   The heart of the episode is a fiery recap of Shaun and Lindsey's daytime show Crossing the Aisle on WYAB (12-1 PM weekdays), where sparks flew over immigration polling numbers showing only 38% of Americans supporting the current administration's mass immigration policies. We debate Shaun's analogy of the long-time Home Depot worker who's been in the U.S. for 20 years—criminal or not? Clay argues that illegal entry makes one a criminal by definition, while Shaun pushes for nuance, prioritizing dangerous offenders first as per Trump's campaign promises. Lindsey weighs in on pathways to citizenship for non-violent contributors who've paid taxes and built lives here. We explore employer accountability: should businesses face penalties for knowingly hiring undocumented workers via fake IDs or third-party agencies? Google dives reveal civil fines up to $3,000 per employee and potential jail time, plus real-world examples like ICE raids on Mississippi chicken plants. The conversation evolves into cultural insights—praising Hispanic work ethic and community integration while contrasting it with challenges from other groups like Haitians in Miami or Muslims in England, as discussed on Patrick Bet-David's podcast.   We reflect on the one-year anniversary of the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, PA, replaying the chilling audio and appreciating Trump's defiant "fight, fight, fight" moment. What if he'd been killed? We avoided civil unrest, conspiracy-fueled wars among Americans, and a chaotic GOP nomination floor fight (Nikki Haley as frontrunner?). Plus, thoughts on potential deepfakes, Biden conspiracies, and how history might remember this iconic event with statues someday.   Diving deeper, we touch on birth rates (Hispanics lead, potentially shifting demographics post-Roe), language assimilation (learn Spanish to bridge gaps while insisting on English?), and why American Christians are drilled to defend Israel unquestioningly—questioning if it's the same biblical Israel amid modern geopolitics and accusations of genocide in Gaza. We call out biases: criticizing Israel's government isn't antisemitism, just as critiquing Jackson, MS, isn't racism.   Local flavor includes a Hattiesburg attorney arrested for allegedly embezzling $450K from a widow's settlement—his second rodeo after voter fraud charges. We discuss bar association oversight and how some start corrupt young.   Entertainment roundup: Highly recommend Sinners (vampires in 1920s Clarksdale juke joints—think Crossroads meets Dusk Till Dawn); skip the new Gladiator. Excitement for F1 with Brad Pitt, but mixed on Superman and Fantastic Four.   Super chats from fans like Peekaboo, Angela (Mic Magazine), AB, Matthew Gibson, and more—thanks for the support! Catch us tomorrow on WYAB or right here. Subscribe, share, and join the uncensored conversation. What do you think—criminal or contributor? Drop your takes in the comments!  

What if the key to personal growth wasn't radical transformation—but tiny, consistent experiments? In this full-spectrum conversation, neuroscientist and Ness Labs founder Anne-Laure Le Cunff joins me to explore how to rewire our brains for curiosity, resilience, and sustainable growth. We talk about how our brains are hardwired for safety (and why that gets in the way of change), why embracing uncertainty is a learnable skill, and how to overcome the “insight trap”—where we understand a concept but still fail to appl y it. Anne-Laure shares tools from her book Tiny Experiments, including how to approach daily life more scientifically, balance structure with flexibility, and develop an identity rooted in exploration - not perfection. We also touch on creativity, burnout, goal-setting, and the neuroscience behind procrastination and decision-making.

xAI, the artificial intelligence company led by Elon Musk, announced new efforts Monday to get its generative AI tool, Grok, into the hands of federal government officials. In a post to X, the company announced “Grok for Government,” which it described as a suite of products aimed at U.S. government customers. FedScoop reported on the General Services Administration's interest in Grok last week. xAI disclosed two new government partnerships: a new contract with the Defense Department, which we'll get to in a moment, and that the tool was available to purchase through GSA. “This allows every federal government department, agency, or office, to purchase xAI products,” the post added. “We're hiring mission driven engineers who want to join the cause.” The new products from xAI follow the introduction of government-specific AI intelligence platforms from companies like Anthropic and OpenAI. The announcement was made just days after xAI's formal apology for the chatbot's recent antisemitic outputs. Last Thursday, FedScoop reported that government coders at GSA were discussing, on GitHub, incorporating Grok into a testing sandbox associated with a yet-to-launch tool called AI.gov and GSAi, a GSA-created AI platform. Anthropic, Google and xAI will join OpenAI on the CDAO's nascent effort to partner with industry on pioneering artificial intelligence projects focused on national security applications. Under the individual contracts — each worth up to $200 million — the Pentagon will have access to some of the most advanced AI capabilities developed by the four companies, including large language models, agentic AI workflows, cloud-based infrastructure and more. Chief Digital and AI Officer Doug Matty said in a statement: “The adoption of AI is transforming the Department's ability to support our warfighters and maintain strategic advantage over our adversaries. Leveraging commercially available solutions into an integrated capabilities approach will accelerate the use of advanced AI as part of our Joint mission essential tasks in our warfighting domain as well as intelligence, business, and enterprise information systems.” OpenAI received the first contract for the effort June 17 and will create prototypes of agentic workflows for national security missions. According to CDAO, work with all four vendors will expand the Pentagon's experience with emerging AI capabilities, as well as give the companies better insights into how their technology can benefit the department.
