Have you ever known exactly what needed to be said... and said nothing? This week, Rosie, Kayleigh, and Sadie join Coach Jamie for an honest conversation about the difference between speaking up and starting drama, why truth without love falls flat, and what it actually looks like to confront someone the way Jesus would. The girls get real about the fear that keeps us quiet — and share the moments their faith gave them courage to speak anyway: a divine coffee shop encounter, a cry-night prayer that came full circle, and a lunch table where nobody else was a Christian. If you've ever shrunk back when God was nudging you to speak, this episode is your reminder: your voice matters, and you never know who's listening. Verses referenced: Ephesians 4:15, Ephesians 4:29 This week's challenge: The next time you feel God leading you to speak up, step out in boldness — and watch what He does. Timestamps   0:00 – Opening question: would you actually speak up? 0:45 – Rosie, Kayleigh, and Sadie's "strong opinions" icebreaker 2:33 – Speaking up vs. starting drama 4:19 – Ephesians 4:15 and 4:29 — truth in love 5:38 – Courage isn't the absence of fear 7:36 – The "felt need" vs. the real need 10:21 – Rosie's coffee shop story 12:59 – Kayleigh's lunch story 14:05 – Sadie's camp story 15:02 – What would you say to the girl staying quiet? 17:38 – Weekly declaration + SOAR Collective Links Join the SOAR Collective: uncommonteen.com/collective Grab Your Conference Tickets: uncommonteen.com/conference Share your story: Tag @uncommon.teen with a time you chose to speak up Declaration I am beautiful.

This week on Those Weekend Golf Guys, the crew dove into the messy, hilarious, and occasionally heartbreaking world of golf performance — especially the mental circus happening between a golfer's ears. They kicked things off with a story about a player who had all the physical tools but confidence lower than a worm's shoe size. Classic case: the swing was fine, the fundamentals were fine… but the brain? Oh boy. Total chaos. Jeff jumped in with the reminder every golfer needs tattooed on their forehead: range golf and real golf are not the same sport. You can stripe it on the range like you're auditioning for a commercial, but the second you step onto the first tee of a tournament? Suddenly your hands shake, your heart races, and you forget how to hold the club. Welcome to competitive golf. The guys hammered home the idea that a golf shot is a golf shot — whether you're on the range, on the course, or staring down a college coach who may or may not be watching. But getting golfers, especially juniors, to believe that? That's the trick. Then came the junior‑golf deep dive. iPad shared a win with a 15‑year‑old from Montana who turned his game around once he got the right mental tools. But he also pointed out the obvious: how a kid handles pressure usually comes down to how they've been raised. Some kids soak up coaching like a sponge. Others crumble the second they think someone's judging them. And yes — parents are often the biggest variable in the whole equation. Jeff broke down performance variance in a way every sports parent needs to hear. He compared it to basketball: you don't score the same number of points every night because the gym, the opponent, and the pressure all change. Golf's the same. But parents see one bad round and act like the kid's scholarship just burst into flames. Speaking of pressure… Jeff and Joe talked about the cost of chasing big tournaments. Flights, hotels, rental cars, food — suddenly you're two grand deep before the kid even tees off. And then you hear a college coach might be there? Yeah, that'll tighten the screws on everybody. Joe wrapped things up with some of his best emotional‑management tools. The big one: the detachment mechanism. Kid hits a bad shot? Instead of spiraling into a meltdown, they say, “Isn't that fascinating.” Boom — emotional reset. No shame, no panic, no identity crisis. He even teaches players to jokingly blame their playing partner for the shot just to break the tension. It works way better than you'd think. The final message was simple and loud: your golf game is not your identity. Kids need hobbies, interests, and confidence that don't depend on whether they shot 72 or 92. Because the second golf becomes their whole personality, the game stops being fun — and that's when everything falls apart. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Talk of the Town In this episode, we discuss Christian conversation — cultural, institutional, and in our encounters with the living God. Our guide is Prof. Robert Kolb, who wrote about the 'Art of Christian Conversation' in his book, "Speaking the Gospel Today." What is Christian conversation, and what is its purpose? On the other side of the table, what is a worldly conversation, and what is its ultimate purpose? Is there any difference between pre-modern and post-modern Christian conversations and secular talks? Is there anything we can learn from "Christian conversations" that can be applied and/or help us appreciate myths, legends, folk tales, and storytelling? Is it possible for our conversations to awaken us to a greater reality than what our material generation tells us about the limits of reality?   SHOW NOTES:  Speaking the Gospel Today: A Theology for Evangelism by Robert Kolb https://a.co/d/01jxW3Po Robert Kolb @ 1517 https://www.1517.org/1517-search-result?qSearch=robert%20kolb   More from 1517: Give to the June 1517 Podcast Network Fundraiser! https://donate.overflow.co/1517/cash?config=2026-podcast-network-fundraiser Support 1517 Podcast Network https://www.1517.org/podcast-fundraiser 1517 Podcasts: http://www.1517.org/podcasts 1517 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@1517org 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/1517-podcast-network/id6442751370 1517 Events Schedule: https://www.1517.org/events 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education: https://academy.1517.org/   What's New from 1517: The Turk at the Door by Adam Francisco https://shop.1517.org/collections/coming-soon/products/9781964419947-the-turk-at-the-door Luther and the Lion: A Narnian Catechism by Samuel Schuldheisz https://shop.1517.org/products/9781964419985-luther-and-the-lion By Water and the Word by Brian Thomas https://shop.1517.org/products/9781967920013-by-water-and-the-word Being Family by Dr. Scott Keith https://shop.1517.org/products/9781964419961-being-family   More from the hosts: Donovan Riley https://www.1517.org/contributors/donavon-riley Christopher Gillespie https://www.1517.org/contributors/christopher-gillespie   CONTACT and FOLLOW: Banned Books Wiki https://bannedbooks1517.org Email mailto:BannedBooks@1517.org Instagram (1517)https://www.instagram.com/bannedbooks1517 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BannedBooks1517/ Twitter https://twitter.com/bannedbooks1517 Instagram (1517) https://www.instagram.com/1517org X/Twitter (1517) http://twitter.com/1517 Facebook (1517) http://www.facebook.com/1517org   PODCAST: YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@BannedBooks Rumble https://rumble.com/c/c-1223313 Odysee https://odysee.com/@bannedbooks:5 Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/banned-books/id1370993639 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2ahA20sZMpBxg9vgiRVQba Overcast https://overcast.fm/itunes1370993639/banned-books   MORE LINKS: Tin Foil Haloes https://t.me/bannedpastors St John's Lutheran Church (Webster, MN) - FB Live Bible Study Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/356667039608511 Donavon's Substack https://donavonlriley.substack.com Gillespie's Sermons and Catechesis https://outerrimterritories.com Gillespie Coffee https://gillespie.coffee Gillespie Media https://gillespie.media

“The better the foundation is, the more opportunities I'm getting to do exactly that.”Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! This week's episode is another alumni spotlight, and it might be Dan's favorite combination yet: Matthew Sharpe is a licensed therapist — and a stand-up comedian. He put the two together in Standup Therapy Live, where the laughs do the heavy lifting for the mental health lessons. Matt works with high-stress, high-stakes professions — healthcare workers, law enforcement, corrections officers — teaching resilience through humor, complete with a “humor lab” where he makes rooms full of uniformed officers sweat bullets by writing jokes on a 15-minute deadline.But the real story of this episode isn't the comedy — it's the business. Matt just booked out a full week of paid speaking for the first week of October, and every gig in it traces back to a different lesson from The Speaker Lab playbook: cold outreach to people he'd never met, follow-up that turned one law enforcement gig into a repeat booking, and a Department of Corrections client bringing him back to train staff from around their state. He's even had a gig land completely cold — the National Conference of State Legislatures found him through SEO he didn't set up. And then there's the lesson most speakers never learn: Matt genuinely loves the process. The prospecting, the pipeline, even the rejections. Dan also coaches Matt through a proposal that died on price, unpacking budget questions, decision makers, add-on gigs, and the “menu” of offerings that can save a stalled deal.Whether you're still chasing your first paid gig or trying to figure out why your calendar isn't as full as your talent deserves, this conversation is a masterclass in falling in love with the 95% of the work that gets you the 5% on stage.You'll learn:How Matt booked a full week of paid speaking by following the process step by stepThe simple cold email (“quick question — who books your talks?”) that keeps turning into gigsHow follow-up after a gig — the harvest — creates repeat bookingsWhy an inbound gig from SEO is the bonus you earn for doing the workThe mindset shift that separates speakers who burn out from speakers who buildHow to reframe the business side as your foundation, not the tax you pay to performThe 85/15 rule of speaking — and why Dan thinks it's really 95/5How Matt learned to price himself with confidence (and who convinced him to raise his fee)Where a proposal to a doctors' organization stalled — and the budget questions that could have saved itHow add-on gigs and geographic prospecting give you room to get creative with your feeWhy offering a menu — keynote, workshop, reception comedy set — adds value for event plannersAnd much, much more!“Find something new and exciting that makes you laugh every day.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the challenge of staying cool and safe during this summer's historic heat wave has been especially burdensome as cooling costs are expected to hit a record high. Many will rely on air conditioning even more than usual during this record heat, but the financial strain of paying more than ever for the electricity to power these appliances has left many Americans sweating it out. Also the latest on the war with Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday that the United States remains willing to negotiate with Iran but warned there "will be consequences" if Tehran continues to violate its commitments. Speaking at the ASEAN Summit in the Philippines, hours after U.S. forces completed their 11th consecutive night of strikes against Iranian military targets, Rubio said Washington remains open to diplomacy but questioned whether Iran is negotiating in good faith.

In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin explores why speaking up at work has far less to do with competence and far more to do with confidence. If you've ever left a meeting thinking, "I should have said something," you're not alone—and you're probably more prepared than you think. If you've ever had the perfect idea thirty seconds too late, watched someone else say what you were thinking, or struggled to find your voice in meetings, this conversation is for you. Using improv principles and practical strategies, Erin shares how to stop disappearing on the back line and start contributing with more confidence, more quickly, and more consistently. Inside This Episode: Speaking Up Is Usually a Confidence Issue, Not a Competence Issue: Most people already know what they want to say, they just hesitate when the moment arrives. Erin explores why the gap between thinking and speaking is often driven by fear, not ability. Silence Feels Safe, But It Can Make You Invisible: Staying quiet may protect you from saying the wrong thing, but it can also prevent others from seeing your ideas, expertise, and leadership potential. Early and frequent participation changes how people experience you. Confidence Is Built Through Reps, Not Perfection: The goal isn't to feel ready before you contribute. The goal is to contribute and let confidence catch up. Erin shares why speaking up is a skill built through practice, not personality. The SPEAK Framework Makes Participation Easier: Erin introduces the improv-inspired SPEAK framework to help you contribute more naturally in meetings: Set up the scene, Preload your line, Enter early, Anchor the room, and Keep building. Consistency Changes Your Identity: Speaking up once feels brave. Speaking up repeatedly changes how you see yourself and how others see you. Confidence isn't built in a single moment; it's built in patterns. What to Do Now: Set Up the Scene: Before your next meeting, identify one idea, question, or perspective you want to contribute before the conversation begins. Preload Your Line: Prepare a simple opener such as, "One thing that stands out to me is..." or "I'd like to build on that idea..." so you're not starting from zero when the moment arrives. Enter Early: Challenge yourself to speak within the first ten minutes of your next meeting. Momentum is easier to maintain than it is to create. Anchor the Room: Remember that your contribution doesn't just help you—it creates permission for others to participate, ask questions, and share ideas too. Keep Building: Confidence is earned through repetition. Every time you speak up, you're collecting evidence that your voice belongs in the room. Your Freebie You're calm, capable, and composed… until things take an unexpected turn (as they tend to do)! This is exactly why we created The Clarity Under Pressure Toolkit: What to Do in the First 5 Minutes of Any Uncertain Situation. It's your go-to guide for staying grounded when it matters most.

Are you actually making healthier choices, or are you just buying whatever wellness trend sounds the most convincing? The wellness world has gotten very good at selling certainty. Peptides, longevity stacks, skin hacks, GLP-1s, miracle supplements, and "expert" advice are everywhere. The problem is that confidence online does not always mean credibility. A lot of people are spending serious money on things that sound scientific, but are backed by weak evidence, half-truths, or marketing dressed up as medicine. This matters because your health decisions should not be based on who has the best abs, the biggest platform, or the loudest opinion. Real performance comes from understanding what actually moves the needle: muscle, metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, smart recovery, and knowing how to question what you are being sold. The basics may not be sexy, but they work. And in a world full of shortcuts, doing the boring proven things is often the boldest move. Dr. Jonathan Schoeff is a surgeon, longevity expert and co-founder of The Longevity Lab who brings more than two decades of medical experience to the conversation around health, performance, and aging. He works with clients through a science-forward, evidence-based lens, helping them cut through wellness noise and focus on what actually supports long-term health, from metabolic function and muscle to peptides, GLP-1s, and skin longevity. What's Discussed:  (01:27) Why real medical credibility matters in a world full of online health experts. (04:00) How social media pushed Dr. Jonathan Schoeff into the longevity conversation. (08:13) Why insurance companies have so much control over patient care. (20:09) How influencers can turn weak science into massive wellness trends. (22:09) What mechanistic data really means and why it does not equal human evidence. (28:30) How GLP-1s work beyond the weight loss conversation. (34:31) Why peptide claims can become dangerous when evidence is overstated. (52:13) Why the Wolverine Stack is one of the biggest red flags in peptide marketing. (01:01:47) How muscle drives metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and long-term longevity.   Thank You to Our Sponsors! Magic Mind: Head over to magicmind.com/jen and use code JEN at checkout.

It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT SNOWBOUND FOR THE HOLIDAYS A ski lodge owner faces financial ruin and possible loss of his family's mountain retreat. As he grapples with mounting debt, a savvy hotel executive arrives to assess the property, setting the stage for an unexpected holiday adventure.

Trey is a unique fella who still prefers to listen to his tunes with a Walkman and crappy headphones. We then meet Cassidy Evergreen who helps run hotels with her bossy mom. She wants to be VP of Operations. Her mom is like nah. You don't have what it takes. You're not tough enough. Plus, she spends money on custom ornaments. That's not what executives do. Cassidy says well how about I go assess a property and show you I have what it takes to make big decisions. Of course, that property happens to be a certain ski lodge. Trey's father-in-law, Sam, who Trey runs the lodge with, tells him that he's ready to retire and he thinks they should consider selling to a dude named Asherton. Trey isn't having it. He's not ready to give up on this place. Cassidy shows up and checks in and is immediately charmed by Trey's daughter, Lilly. Speaking of Trey, the lights flicker and he ends up bumping into Cassidy, spilling her hot chocolate all over the floor. Talk about a meet cute! It doesn't take Cassidy long to realize that this place is struggling. The snowmobiles aren't working. And to make matters worse, the power goes out. And we're only a few days from Christmas Fest! Trey realizes who Cassidy is and is quickly annoyed by how much she pipes in with her thoughts and opinions. She overhears him talking to Sam about how he doesn't want to sell. She says I want to help you save your lodge by making Christmas Fest bigger and better than ever and maybe get it into some new technology in the process. She starts opening up to him about how she feels like her mom doesn't really believe in her. And he opens up to her about the loss of his wife. She tells him that if he does need to sell, he could also work into the deal that he needs to stay on and keep the staff. They go out tubing together and when they get back to the lodge, she's shocked to see that her mom showed up. Clearly she doesn't trust her to do this on her own! Her mom hears about what she's doing and tells her if you're banking on Christmas Fest saving the day, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Turns out, her mom actually went to the lodge as a kid, every year for 10 years. That explains why she and Sam were flirty flirty the night before. After dancing to some music on his tape player the night before she's supposed to leave, they end up ALMOSTTTT kissing, but are interrupted by his daughter. They go to a Christmas lantern event and almost kiss again. They say their goodbyes and it's very sweet but she ends up missing her flight! So she gets to stay a little longer which gives her this idea - Evergreen should buy the lodge. She knows that this Asherton guy is a bad guy. Before she can talk to them, Asherton shows up and is like the mountain is mine baby! Cassidy runs in and is like no it's not, cuz we just bought it! Trey does not take any of this well. She goes after him and is like I know it looks like I went behind your back but I promise we just wanted to save the lodge. But Trey isn't having it and storms off, saying she obviously only cares about trying to get a promotion. She needs to find him to talk to him but he's on the slopes. So she has to conquer her fear of skiing and find him. She crashes into him and they laugh. She pitches what their plan really is which honestly sounds like a really bad business plan for the Evergreen family. The deal is a go! And Cassidy is going to stay!!! And they end up kisssingggggg!

Speaking during his inauguration speech on Monday, new UK prime minister – the seventh in the last 10 years, if you're keeping score – Andy Burnham spoke of his mission to "bring back hope" and to make Britain "believe again". Good luck to him. Burnham knows the job ahead is unlikely to be an easy one, but he's put the work in to get here, from emerging as a fresh-faced MP at the turn of the century to failed attempts to take over the Labour leadership in 2010 and 2015, to finally ascending to the lofty halls of No 10 Downing Street. But is Burnham inheriting a poisoned chalice, given the increasingly fractured nature of present-day British politics? How did he go from "King of the North" in Manchester to the top job in London? And can he handle Donald Trump any better than Keir Starmer did? On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Daniel Boffey, Chief Reporter with The Guardian, to discuss the new UK PM's rise to power and why he's likely to call a general election sooner rather than later.

The first block of the Nations Championship is done, and the All Blacks—much to our delight—finally played like bloody All Blacks.For 40 glorious minutes at Eden Park, they were all over a slightly flailing Irish side. Ireland fought their way back into it after halftime, but putting 41 points on them and winning by 19 is a bloody good result. More importantly, it gives us a little bit of—keyword—optimism heading into the Greatest Rivalry Series.Speaking of which, the Boks—or the B-Boks, C-Boks, or whatever version of the Boks was rolled out this week—put Wales away without too much trouble. South African fans weren't exactly thrilled by the dropped ball and generally ordinary-looking performance, but they still won 43–0, and that scrum somehow looks even more terrifying than ever.So, naturally, we dive into the All Blacks–Springboks rivalry and start looking ahead to the series we've all been waiting for. Tony throws a little chum into the water, so try not to bite too hard. It's all banter at the end of the day. Probably. Rassie is definitely in our heads.Elsewhere, Australia gave Joe Schmidt a fitting send-off by dominating Italy, Fiji scored some absolutely ridiculous tries despite losing to Scotland, and England and Argentina appeared to cram an entire year's worth of yellow cards into one fiery, chaotic match.Coming on the back of the spicy England–Argentina Football World Cup semifinal, the whole thing felt suitably hostile, slightly unhinged and, eventually, pretty entertaining.We cover all of that, talk plenty of rugby and sprinkle in the usual amount of bullshit.There's no episode next week, but after the break, we're going deep into South African content as the Greatest Rivalry Series finally arrives.Grab a beer and enjoy.

They should make more Star Wars movies. And by “they”, I guess I mean “whoever the fuck feels like it”. Hey it can't be any worse than Rise of Skywalker, can it? Well, I thought that movie was decent. So it probably can be worse than that. Scary Movie was worse than it. So it stands to reason that other things could be as well. I'm guessing that being one of those guys who shows up to the ER saying he slipped and fell on a barbie doll in the shower and it went all the way up his ass and he can't get it out is worse than Episode 9, also, from what I have read in various journals and documents. Speaking of which, I have to go work on some documents right now! Ah, I'd love to talk more about this or anything else but I simply don't have the time. Documents await!

"It's not an accent, it's an identity."The way we speak shapes more than how we're understood—it shapes how we're perceived. Peter Novak believes the goal of communication isn't to eliminate an accent, but to communicate with greater clarity, confidence, and authenticity. As a linguist, communication coach, and expert in accent bias, Novak helps multilingual professionals communicate more effectively while embracing the identity their voice represents. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, he joins Matt Abrahams to explore how accent bias influences the workplace, why clarity matters more than sounding "native," and the practical techniques anyone can use to communicate with greater confidence and impact.Key Takeaways:Clarity matters more than sounding native. Effective communication comes from making your message easy to understand, not eliminating your accent.Your accent is part of your identity. Multilingual communicators bring unique perspectives and strengths that should be embraced, not hidden.Activity:Focus on clarity. Record yourself explaining a familiar topic for one minute. Listen back and identify three words or phrases to emphasize and two places to pause. Record it again, focusing on clarity rather than sounding perfect, and compare the difference.Episode Reference Links:Peter Novak82.

We kick off this loaded episode celebrating National Fortune Cookie Day by cracking open a few fortunes before dropping an announcement: we are officially heading to New York City as credentialed media for the USATF National Championships on Randall's Island! Expect plenty of athlete interviews and uncut unhinged content. Erin gives a 12 week pull up program progress report. We stack up our week 12 numbers against day one, revealing insane gains. We also vent about the discouraging social media comments claiming a pull up takes years, and recap our contrasting weekend social lives, including surviving a next door neighbor's party in "hard pants". Next up, we dive into a heavy dose of local shore chaos for "Erin's Tea Time". The controversial LBI mega house was somehow approved. The zero parking situation boiled over when contractors blocked a driveway, prompting two police cars to show up, much to the delight of our ticket obsessed seven year old. Meanwhile, Dan took on the local beach badge checkers after they called the cops on surfers, pulling out the official rule book to prove that anyone can legally "traverse" the sand to get to the water without a badge.We then put on our Esquire hats for a massive journalism and law segment, starting with a fascinating soccer history discovery: why players walk out holding hands with children. Speaking of soccer, we look at the concessions data out of Philadelphia's stadium, where 410,000 fans crushed 290,000 beers and 55,000 hot dogs, and we applaud FIFA's partnership with the nonprofit Musically Fed to donate leftover food instead of tossing it in a dumpster. We then shift to some wild court cases, covering the Troy Turkey Trot race director charged with grand larceny for stealing $114,000, the class-action lawsuit against United and Delta over "windowless" window seats, a ridiculous trademark battle between a sneaker company and Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' new 1587 Prime steakhouse, and a petty cookbook author coming after a creator over a cake pop recipe. To wrap things up, we compare two totally different fitness movements: an incredibly cool, Rolling Stone approved underground calisthenics street league in New York City featuring a brutal 100 burpee and 65 pound dumbbell squat face off, versus a lame, corporate, $15 million backed CrossFit rival called Xenon that uses AI photos. Finally, we close out the episode with a health rant about the Cyclospora parasite outbreak causing weeks of explosive diarrhea across the country. Finally in our No Bad No Sad segment we talk about a kid getting advice from professional NFL players regarding his football stances.

It's Monday, July 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Christian 13-year-old girl still captive to Muslim man On July 7, the European Parliament condemned Pakistan for its violation of human rights, citing a 13-year-old Christian Pakistani girl who is still fighting for her freedom from the 30-year-old Muslim man who abducted her, reports International Christian Concern. Maria Shahbaz was kidnapped in July 2025 by Shehryar Ahmad, who forced her to convert to Islam and married her against her will. Alliance Defending Freedom came alongside her parents in their fight to regain custody of their child in Pakistan's Federal Constitutional Court in February. Pakistani law states that a minor cannot legally consent to religious conversion or marriage, but shockingly the court ruled in favor of Ahmad when he presented a forged marriage certificate.  In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Shahbaz's parents are not giving up. They are still appealing their daughter's case in court, hoping that justice will swiftly come.  According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. Send a polite, 3-sentence letter to Rizwan Sheikh, the Pakistan Ambassador to America, asking that he intervene.  The address is 3517 International Court NW, Washington, DC 20008. Two U.S. soldiers killed in Iranian attack on military base Two American soldiers were killed on July 17th in an Iranian attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan, reports the Western Journal. In a post on X, U.S. Central Command added, “Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged.” Plus, one soldier is missing. Iran's attacks came after the U.S. launched its seventh consecutive night of air strikes on Iran. Iran makes chilling death threats against President Trump Iranian state media has published a shocking video entitled “Where to kill Trump?”, claiming to know the U.S. leader's motorcade route and the vulnerabilities within his security, reports The Express. The highly concerning footage claimed to reveal “information on the whereabouts of the terrorist president of America” while promising that “access to Trump is possible in these places.” It also alleges to give details about the motorcade that protects the U.S. president, which typically consists of 40 to 50 vehicles. It comes after repeated death threats have been made by Iran following the U.S. assassination of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.  President Trump's primetime speech on election integrity Last Thursday night, President Donald Trump addressed election security in a nationwide primetime address from the White House, pointing to ways American political leftists and China have compromised our elections, reports The Epoch Times. TRUMP: “You can't have a great country without free and fair elections. All we want is honesty in our elections. Great damage has been done to our country. Our elections were left vulnerable to being rigged and stolen, and the trust of the American people was lost. This cannot be allowed to continue. “Every American -- whether you're a Republican, Democrat, Independent, or otherwise -- should be able to agree that we deserve the most secure, honest, and fair election system anywhere in the world.” President Trump explained that China started compromising our elections in 2020. TRUMP: “Over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files. That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote. “This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.” And finally, President Trump vowed action to hold people accountable. TRUMP: “The documents we will release, starting tonight, have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, a great group of people, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings we are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity. “You can see these documents for yourself at whitehouse.gov. That's whitehouse.gov. Go check it out. Our purpose in disclosing this information is not to weaken confidence in election, but to earn that confidence by confronting vulnerabilities and correcting them very, very quickly, and that's what we're doing.” Homeland Security Secretary vows to prosecute illegal voters In related news, during a Friday press briefing, Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin promised to hunt down and prosecute illegal voters in the U.S., noting that 250,000 non-citizens are illegally registered to vote in just four states, reports The Christian Post. Speaking in the wake of President Donald Trump's 25-minute primetime address about election security on July 16th, Mullin outlined an aggressive plan to tighten voter roll integrity, harden election infrastructure, and hold election officials accountable for alleged failures. Senator Marsha Blackburn: No more birth tourism Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee has reintroduced legislation aimed at ending so-called “birth tourism” following the Supreme Court's recent 6-3 ruling in Trump v. Barbara. It held that children born in the United States to illegal aliens and foreign tourists remain entitled to birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, reports Big League Politics. She said, “Congress must step up to the plate to protect the integrity of American citizenship.” The Ban Birth Tourism Act is co-sponsored by GOP Senators Ted Budd of North Carolina, John Cornyn of Texas, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Tim Sheehy of Montana, Jim Banks of Indiana, and Rick Scott of Florida. The legislation would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly prohibit foreign nationals from obtaining temporary visas for the purpose of giving birth in the United States. It would also classify birth tourism as a deportable offense, allowing immigration authorities to remove foreign nationals who enter the country for that purpose. Call your two senators anytime -- 24 hours a day 7 days a week -- speaking to a live operator to leave a voicemail at 202-224-3121 and ask them to support the Ban Birth Tourism Act. That's 202-224-3121. Samaritan's Purse deployed disaster relief unit for Texas flood victims On July 17th, churches in the Texas Hill Country opened their doors as flood displacement shelters, taking in families whose homes and recreational vehicles had been swept away by rapidly rising rivers that killed at least two people, reports The Christian Post. Recently more than 30 inches of rain fell over several days, causing the Leona River and Guadalupe River to overflow. Floodwaters surged through the streets, destroying homes, and stranding people and vehicles. The Christian relief group Samaritan's Purse said it was deploying a disaster relief unit to the Hill Country, with staff and volunteer teams set to work in Uvalde County. The group said it was basing operations out of Uvalde Methodist Church, with volunteers beginning on Sunday to help residents remove waterlogged belongings and clear mud from their homes. Consider making a donation to Samaritan's Purse to help the Texas victims of the flood through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 1 John 3:17 asks, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need, but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” Worldview listeners weigh in from New York, Texas and Arkansas Deb Staley in Unadilla Forks, New York wrote me and said, “The Worldview never disappoints. It's uplifting, informative, and to the point. The Bible verses are so very helpful. And I love the fact that there are limited news stories. If there were more, I'd begin to tune out. Thank you for what you do.” David O'Hanlon in Burleson, Texas wrote, “I have listened to your broadcast every weekday for about two years which I support monthly. You bring news – especially the persecution of the Church – which I do not hear anywhere else.”  And Melissa in Bradford, Arkansas wrote, “I listen to your newscast on my lunch break. I like it because it's truthful news about real people. Plus, you talk about stuff others do not. Thank you.” 26 Worldview listeners gave $ 9,113 And finally, by Saturday night at 10:00pm Central, 26 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to Kenyon in Merritt Island, Florida who gave $25, Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $30, Sheryl in Westmoreland, Tennessee who gave $75, as well as Steve in Mission Viejo, California, David and Martha in Byram Township, New Jersey, Dean in Carol Stream, Illinois, Susan in Fairmont, West Virginia, Linda in Lutz, Florida, and an anonymous donor in Alpharetta, Georgia – all six of whom gave $100. We were touched by the generosity of Tami in Dry Ridge, Kentucky, Rose in Everson, Washington, Amy in Seminole, Texas, and Robin in Simsbury, Connecticut  -- all of whom gave $200, as well as the McVeda Family in Great Falls, Montana who gave $205, and Calvin in Odessa, Minnesota who gave $250. We appreciated the sacrifice of Dennis and Kathryn in Palm Bay, Florida and Joan in West Palm Beach, Florida – both of whom gave $300 as well as David and Sonya in Austin, Texas who decided to continue giving $25/month for another 12 months for a gift of $300. And we're grateful to God for Ed in Flagler, Colorado, Mike and Sarah in California, Maryland, who listen to Redeemer Radio WSMD, and an anonymous donor in Estancia, New Mexico – each of whom gave $500 as well as Vivian in Castle Rock, Colorado who gave $600, Gena in Huntsville, Alabama who gave $728, Daniel in Ironton, Minnesota who gave $1,000,  an anonymous donor in Pinckney, Michigan who pledged $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200, and a second anonymous donor in Hopewell Junction, New York who pledged $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200.

Yes, you can survive divorce. I did- not once, but twice. Healing after divorce is hard enough the first time, but I was 45 when I filed the second time, and here I share the full emotional truth of what that was like: throwing the papers across the table at the attorney's office, feeling ashamed, financially scared, and invisible as a woman. It's about that shame of feeling like the family black sheep, the guilt of raising kids through divorce, the darkness that followed, and the moment I looked at a photo of myself out with friends, not smiling in a single shot!, and decided that was not who I was going to become.This episode is also about what turns the corner on healing after divorce. I walk us through exactly how I started to crawl out: saying yes to things outside of my comfort zone. It's about honest, radical responsibility and the truth I had to face about not loving myself and not speaking up for myself, both in marriage and in life.

"Spain's national soccer team shared a photo of the team's celebration after winning the 2026 World Cup to social media on Sunday, July 19. Notably absent from the photo was United States president Donald Trump.As expected, Trump helped FIFA president Gianni Infantino present the World Cup trophy to Spain after La Roja won the tournament with a 1-0 victory over Argentina on Sunday.However, Trump lingered on the podium for part of Spain's celebration, despite Infantino's apparent efforts to usher him off the stage that had been set up in the middle of the pitch.""A Senate Democrat — for the second time in four days — criticized CBS's coverage of President Donald Trump's primetime speech on CBS's own air.Speaking with Margaret Brennan on CBS's Face the Nation Sunday, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) called out network leadership for opting to air Trump's speech about election integrity — in which numerous fact checkers found the president made a bevy of false claims.“There are so many absurdities and falsehoods in Trump's Thursday night speech,” Warner said. “And I'm glad that most media treated it not as serious news — and I know some folks at your network, the journalists I have huge respect for. I was disappointed that your senior management made the decision to cover it as news.”"Mo'Kelly, Gary Dietrich, and Sarah Kendzior will join to discuss the top stories. Today's Guests LinksLooking for Sarah Kendzior's substack? https://sarahkendzior.substack.com/You can slso find links to Sarah's books at: https://sarahkendzior.com/The Mark Thompson Show 7/20/26Today's Guests LinksGary Dietrich, CBS TV & iHeart Radio Political Analyst https://twitter.com/garydietrichGary Dietrich's segment is sponsored by Bill Campbell at RE/MAX GOLD.

Are you what you do? James Clear says identity change is the North Star for habit change — and he's right. But it works the other way too: your habits are quietly shaping your identity. In this episode, I talk about the two-way loop between habits and identity, why "your labels, your limits" applies to how you see yourself, and what this means for the culture of your team — because culture is really just collective identity, shaped by collective habits. If you want more questions like this to help you build more remarkable days, I send them three times a week in Your Remarkable Day. Sign up at kevineikenberry.com/newsletters.

By adulthood, people start believing the real thing must also be cute.Then reality enters the chat.That's exactly how socialism gets sold."It's about fairness.""It's about compassion.""It's about everybody sharing."Right...Until the government eats everything in your refrigerator and starts charging you rent to use your own stove.Leftism always arrives wearing fuzzy slippers.It leaves wearing combat boots.That's why I always laugh when people say, "Well... it sounds nice."So does petting a bison.Until you discover frequent-flyer miles aren't supposed to be earned by your body.Speaking of Leftists discovering reality...There's a congressman named Shri Thanedar who's apparently getting thrown overboard by his own party.Now think about how hard that is.The man filed seven articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.Seven.At that point you're not trying to impeach him.You're trying to collect the whole set.And despite all that...Democrats still say he isn't left enough.His platform actually included government transparency.Transparency?Did he accidentally campaign as a Republican?That's like walking into a mafia meeting and saying, "I'd like to discuss better accounting."No wonder they're replacing him.He only wanted a fifteen-dollar minimum wage.Democrats are probably saying, "Fifteen? Grandpa... catch up."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if laughing every day is less of a personality trait and more of a health strategy? We spend so much time chasing the perfect wellness routine. The supplements, the trackers, the saunas, the cold plunges, the red light, the protocols. And yet one of the simplest tools for changing your brain, your mood, your stress, and your body is something most of us are not doing enough: laughing. Laughter releases endorphins, helps lower stress hormones like cortisol, supports immune function, and can shift your emotional state fast. A real laugh can pull you out of a bad mood, break tension, make you feel more connected to people, and remind your nervous system that everything is not as serious as your brain is making it. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I share the science of laughter, why humor may be one of the most underrated health tools we have, how laughing affects stress and immunity, and why five minutes of comedy might be one of the easiest daily habits to add to your life. What's Discussed: (00:41) Why laughter affects the brain, mood, and overall physical and mental health. (01:18) How research connects laughter to neuroplasticity, emotional wellbeing, and laughter-based therapies. (02:08) Why five minutes of comedy can shift a bad mood fast. (02:40) How laughing yoga works and why forced laughter can become real laughter. (03:29) How laughter releases endorphins and helps reduce stress hormones like cortisol. (03:49) Why laughter may support immune function, antibodies, and natural killer cell activity. (05:58) Why laughter is a universal language and one of the fastest ways to bond with people. (06:45) Why laughter may be one of the most underrated free health tools. (07:49) Why walking and laughter are two of the simplest ways to improve your mood and health. (08:15) How humor can become a powerful coping mechanism during hard seasons. (15:05) Why finding five minutes to laugh every day can support your physical and mental health.   Thank You to Our Sponsors! Magic Mind: Head over to magicmind.com/jen and use code JEN at checkout.

In early February, Latino USA traveled to the occupied West Bank to learn about the roots of the deep connections between Latinos and Palestinians. Maria Hinojosa and producer Nour Saudi accompanied a group of U.S. students and academics as they traveled from Jordan to Ramallah with their counterparts from a Palestinian university. Speaking with refugees, community leaders and student activists, we look at the parallels between the two communities— from the U.S. student protest movement to shared experiences of borders and surveillance and shared cultures around family, food and friendship. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.

Speaking with guest host Russell Dobular of the Due Dissidence show, Professor Seyed Muhammad Mirandi critiques JD Vance's explanation of the US-Iran conflict, arguing that Vance's "pragmatists vs. hardliners" framing is a fiction used to justify ongoing US violations of the memorandum of understanding. Mirandi contends that Iran never believed the US would fully implement the deal, as Trump only wanted to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for oil exports while refusing to lift sanctions, return Iranian assets, or restrain Israel.  Iran retaliated against US attempts to establish a separate shipping corridor—a clear violation of the agreement—leading to renewed skirmishes, but Tehran prepared by exporting massive oil reserves during the brief ceasefire. Mirandi concludes that the US is now in a worse strategic position because Iran stockpiled essential goods and remains militarily ready for a prolonged conflict. Plus segments on Ro Khanna's contentious interview with journalist Jeremy Scahill over the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Flock CEO calling privacy advocates "terrorists," and the increasing demands for hard evidence that Mitch McConnell is still alive.

Speaking up doesn't have to create conflict. In fact, it may be the key to building stronger relationships.

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Lawfare Foreign Policy Editor Daniel Byman, Lawfare Public Service Fellow Julia Curlee, and Lawfare Contributing Editor and Vice President of Research, Security and Defense at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs Ariane Tabatabai, to talk through the week's big news in foreign policy, including:“Truce or Consequences.” The fragile ceasefire that had paused the U.S.-Iran war since the spring now appears to have collapsed. After Iran struck several commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the United States has launched several successive nights of strikes, hitting more than 300 targets across Iran. Iran has in turn retaliated against U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. Speaking from the NATO summit in Ankara, President Trump declared the June memorandum of understanding “over” even as he insisted that talks toward a lasting peace could still continue. By the weekend, Iran had declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, and U.S. officials were describing the ceasefire as fully “broken down.” Then, on Monday, Trump escalated further—declaring that the United States would “keep” and “run” the Strait as its self-styled “Guardian,” reinstate its blockade on Iranian ships, and charge a 20% fee on all cargo passing through, an arrangement Tehran has flatly rejected. Is the war back on? And is there any diplomatic path left to pull both sides back from the brink? “Rutte Awakening.” NATO's leaders gathered in Ankara last week for a summit that Secretary General Mark Rutte billed as the launch of “NATO 3.0”—a stronger, more self-reliant Europe inside an alliance less dependent on the United States. Allies touted rapid progress toward last year's pledge to spend 5% of GDP on defense, announcing more than $50 billion in new procurement and at least €70 billion in fresh military aid for Ukraine. But the gathering was overshadowed by friction with President Trump, who publicly berated allies for declining to help in the Iran war and briefly revived his campaign to acquire Greenland before ending on a somewhat more conciliatory note. What did the Ankara summit actually accomplish? And what does “NATO 3.0” mean for the alliance's future?“Bad Bromance.” The once-close alliance between Washington and Jerusalem—and between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu—is showing unusual public strain. Trump has repeatedly clashed with Netanyahu over Israel's continued operations in Lebanon—which have threatened the Iran ceasefire—and over the stalled second phase of his Gaza peace plan, which has all but wilted as Hamas refuses to disarm and Israel refuses to withdraw. Defense Secretary Hegseth abruptly canceled a planned trip to Israel, and a possible F-35 sale to Turkey has added to the unease. The tensions turned vivid this past week when Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said he was detained for more than an hour by armed Israeli settlers—and then by IDF soldiers—during a West Bank visit, and armed settlers attacked a CNN crew and other journalists days later. At home, Israeli confidence in Trump has plummeted in advance of Israeli elections in October, even as U.S. primaries have produced a record number of candidates critical of Israel, particularly on the left. Just how strained is the U.S.-Israeli relationship? And how might Israel's coming elections—and America's midterms—reshape it? (Also see the Atlantic article by Thomas Wright that Julia references here.)In object lessons, Dan reviews the movie The Invite, and it's complicated. Ari reviews Israeli jazz musician Avishai Cohen's new album “Eternal Child” and is totally engaged. Scott remembers the influential life and career of Lindsey Graham, separating himself from any alleged involvement in a long-ago gym-mat scandal. And Julia is in love with post-SCIF life, especially one in which she can work from the serenity of her mother's paradisiacal porch.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
