Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they watch lefty businesses and business owners flee blue states for red states, oil tanker traffic grinding to a trickle in the Persian Gulf, and CPAC still welcoming the likes of Steve Bannon.First, they react to the news that Starbucks is moving part of its corporate headquarters to Tennessee, a state with no income tax, and hinting that more of its corporate structure could follow. The coffee giant is currently based in Washington state, which just approved a major tax hike on higher-income households. The blue state economic fantasy runs into reality yet again.Next, they're frustrated by Iran's ongoing ability to stop most oil tankers from exiting the Persian Gulf. Jim explains how Iran is able to harass so many vessels despite its navy being so badly depleted and what the U.S. Navy can do to counteract Iran.Finally, they groan over the news that CPAC has invited Steve Bannon to speak at its conference later this month. The controversy follows revelations that Bannon conducted a multi-part interview with Jeffrey Epstein and appeared to be trying to rehabilitate Epstein's public image,Please visit our great sponsors:Unlock your healthiest skin by targeting visible aging signs at https://Oneskin.co/3ML with code 3ML for 15% off.Make this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Howard Schultz, who built Starbucks from a tiny Seattle coffee shop into more than 40,000 locations worldwide, says he's leaving the Pacific Northwest amid Washington's new millionaires tax and soaring state budgets.

In today's Update Journal, we revisit the cinematic nightmare that united an entire generation: the THX sound. Not the movie. Not the trailers. Just the sound. That deep, metallic “BWAAAAAAAAAA” that shook theater walls, rattled your bones, and made every kid in the audience think the speakers were about to explode. For many of us, it was our first experience with surround sound… and mild emotional trauma.Then we move to The Weakest Link, where a contestant commits what can only be described as a breakfast felony—confusing butterscotch Munchkins and a strawberry Coolatta with Starbucks. Starbucks! That's like walking into Yankee Stadium and asking where the Mets bullpen is. Somewhere, a Dunkin' employee felt a disturbance in the force.And finally, in today's honorable mention, Harry Styles reveals his chaotic “boy dinner” habit—basically a collection of random food items that looks less like a meal and more like what you'd eat at 11:45 p.m. while staring into the fridge with the light on. Naturally, a fast-food chain saw this and said, “Perfect. Let's monetize that.” Because nothing says culinary innovation quite like a celebrity's questionable late-night eating decisions.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, investigators are trying to learn more about two Pennsylvania men accused of bringing homemade bombs to a protest outside the home of Mayor Mamdani.Luxury real estate agents Tal and Oren Alexander and their brother Alon were convicted of sex trafficking for using their vast wealth to drug and rape numerous women they lured into their twisted orbit.And overseas, the widening Iran war has upended oil production and shipping across the Middle East, straining energy supplies worldwide.

Governor Healey is not happy with RFK Jr. as he asked Dunkin's and Starbucks and she's going to let you know about it. Plus, Ari Hoffman joins Grace to discuss Iran, Mamdani and more.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

On today's page, Menachot 58, the Talmud unpacks why leaven and honey are both banned from the meal offering, and one medieval explanation stops us cold: God deliberately didn't want anything too powerful, too sweet, or too overwhelming on the altar. From there, a late-night espresso hunt on an Italian highway somehow becomes the perfect illustration of why mediocrity — the consistent, reliable, always-available kind — might actually be the secret to civilization. What does a Starbucks latte have to do with ancient sacrifice? Listen and find out.

The conflict in Iran has led to a fluctuation in oil prices, but for how long? 5 union Starbucks locations in Seattle are closing. Two men in New York were arrested for allegedly trying to throw explosives at an “anti-Muslim protest. // LongForm: GUEST: Former Sheriff and Congressman Dave Reichert on Washington Democrats' plan to redirect funds from a pension fund for retired law enforcment and firefighters. // Quick Hit: Judges in Washington say they are getting more threats than ever.

From humble beginnings in England in the 12th century, to landmark civil rights court cases in the US in the 1960s, class actions are now rarely out of the headlines.They're a means of bringing together large groups of people – sometimes millions – under the umbrella of a collective claim for damages.Their popularity has spread from the US back to Europe and beyond, which is becoming a concern for businesses fearful of finding themselves in multi-million-dollar litigation cases. Now, there are growing calls for legislation to curb their rise.If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Ed Butler Producer: Craig HendersonBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

250 years ago, on the 9th of March 1776, a book was published that didn't just explain the economy, it changed it. The Wealth of Nations, written by "the father of economics" Adam Smith, sparked debates that still rage today, shaping everything from global trade to how much you earn. Rob Young looks at an original copy from 1776, assesses Smith's importance, and speak to economists about the state of Adam Smith's free market today.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Rob Young Producer: David CannBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

FULL STREAM 3-6-2026 1569 LONDINIUM In this broadcast, host John Batchelor is joined by guests Jeff Bliss of "Pacific Watch" and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos). Jeff Bliss details a West Coast in transition, beginning with Las Vegas, which is rebuilding through massive infrastructure projects like the Bright Line high-speed rail and the Boring Company. He contrasts the privately-financed Bright Line with California's state-run rail project, labeling the latter a $110 billion "money sink" that has failed to lay any track. Bliss's recent travels highlight a broader urban decline, describing Portland and Reno as "ghost towns" and documenting a harrowing fentanyl crisis in Sacramento right outside the state capital. He notes that despite $28 billion being allotted for homelessness, California's "Care Court" has only treated 22 people, while refinery closures and high taxes push gas prices toward $5-$8 per gallon. This economic pressure is driving a corporate exodus of pillars like Starbucks and Amazon to business-friendly states like Tennessee. (1)Shifting to international affairs, Germanicus examines the unfolding war with Iran, noting that the U.S. administration has invoked a "sacred narrative" to justify the conflict as a divinely sanctioned mission to punish "demonic forces". However, he warns of growing fissures in the U.S.-Israeli alliance. While the U.S. frames the war as one of liberation for the Persian people, Israel's objective is the existential destruction of Iran as a regional power. These divergent goals, Germanicus predicts, will create severe strategic tension as the conflict intensifies. (2)3-

MAHA News is back with a packed Friday show covering the latest developments in health policy, technology, and transparency. The hosts kick things off by discussing a proposed New York bill that would restrict AI chatbots from offering medical or legal advice, raising questions about whether powerful industries are trying to slow the disruption AI is bringing to healthcare and professional services. They also examine a new MIT study suggesting heavy reliance on AI tools may weaken critical thinking and memory retention. From there, the conversation shifts to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s push for greater accountability in the food industry, including calls for Dunkin' and Starbucks to release safety data on high sugar drinks. The show also highlights a new initiative requiring medical students at dozens of schools to complete nutrition training before graduation, a step toward addressing chronic disease through better education. Later in the episode, the hosts break down major declassification claims from Dr. Robert Malone linking historical U.S. military experiments to the spread of Lyme disease. They also discuss newly announced peptide policy changes, debates over glyphosate lawsuits, and continued scrutiny of vaccine messaging from federal health agencies.

On today’s episode, Chris Stigall breaks down the latest developments surrounding Operation Epic Fury as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reaffirmed the administration’s position that the Iranian regime must face total defeat or surrender. Stigall examines what that statement signals about America’s long-term strategy in the region and whether the conflict is likely to escalate further.Stigall also discusses the shakeup at the Department of Homeland Security, with reports that Kristi Noem is being replaced by Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, and what the move could mean for border policy and national security.Meanwhile, new attention is turning to explosive allegations of taxpayer fraud tied to Democrats in Minnesota, and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer joins the show to outline what he says investigators are uncovering and why the scandal deserves far more national scrutiny.RNC Chairman Joe Gruters also joins Stigall to discuss the increasingly competitive Texas Senate primary and the challenge Republicans face trying to keep unity inside the GOP tent while defending their majority heading into the fall elections.The show also includes a preview of a conversation with television icon Kathie Lee Gifford, discussing her new book Nero & Paul. Today’s podcast features a short clip, with the full interview dropping tomorrow in a special episode.Plus, Stigall briefly revisits Monday’s Supreme Court decision on parental notification policies in California schools, which continues to reverberate through the national debate over parental rights in education.Dr. Ashley Lucas from PHD Weight Loss comments on RFK Jr's fight against Dunkin' and Starbucks to lower the sugar content in their drinks.

HEADLINE: Starbucks Relocates Corporate Operations to TennesseeGUEST: Jeff Bliss Starbucks is moving a significant portion of its corporate headquarters and back-office operations from Seattle to Tennessee. This move is driven by concerns over high taxes, regulatory capture, and general disorder, including crime and homelessness. Jeff Bliss notes that this departure follows a trend of major brands like In-N-Out Burger and SpaceX leaving West Coast locations for states perceived as more business-friendly.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss a topic that is drifting away from its biblical moorings and increasingly misunderstood in culture: exorcism. Even individuals who would not consider themselves Christians are familiar with the Lord's Prayer, which includes the line, “deliver us from evil.” But what does that mean, and why the sudden cultural interest in exorcism? Episode Links Dr. White mentioned a book that he wrote called The Prayer God Longs For. It walks through the Lord's Prayer, including a chapter that focuses on the deliverance from evil or the "evil one" (Satan). You can find it as an ebook on Church & Culture HERE. He also mentioned the work of C.S. Lewis called The Screwtape Letters - a fascinating book about the nature of temptation and demonic work in our lives. You can find that book at The Grounds Bookstore and Café HERE. Another resource that Dr. White mentioned, which you can also find in The Grounds, is Lee Strobel's Seeing the Supernatural. You can find that book HERE. The discussion continued with a look at who Satan is, and an overview of the world of the occult. There are so many ways that the occult invades culture today, and most people are not even aware of it. There was a series that Dr. White delivered at Mecklenburg Community Church a number of years ago on the subject called “Paranormal.” The installments of this series include the map of the spiritual world, the marks of the occult, and the armor of God. There are also some past podcast episodes that you may want to go back and listen to related to today's conversation including: CCP151: On Spirits and Ghosts, CCP77: On Angels, CCP66: On Satanism, and CCP58: On Your Horoscope and Starbucks. Finally, there are two articles that were mentioned in today's episode that you may be interested in reading. The first is written by Kaya Burgess in The Telegraph titled “Demand for exorcisms rises as faithful want ‘deliverance from evil.'” The second article was just released this week in the London Times, written by Tom Kington, and titled “Devil worshippers are using AI, exorcists are warned” discussing fears that pedophiles are using AI to create images of children participating in satanic rites.

Starbucks is moving a portion of its Seattle-based corporate workforce to Nashville, Tennessee. Citing Nashville as "an ideal location" for a stronger Southeast presence, Starbucks COO Mike Grams framed the move as a strategic decision to support growth across North America. While Seattle will remain the North America and Global Support headquarters, the company will evaluate further transitions to Nashville. The move follows a $1 billion restructuring plan, including 900+ corporate layoffs and store closures. Tennessee state and local leaders have welcomed the announcement, praising the job creation and corporate investment it will bring to Nashville. Is this the end of Starbucks in Seattle, or a smart move to expand?

Ep. 330Today's episode is a special one.Gabriel Shahin sits down with Steve Weiss — the man, the myth, the legend — former CEO of MuteSix, one of the largest digital advertising agencies in the world, and a close friend from the high-net-worth investor group Tiger 21.This conversation isn't the polished, “overnight success” fairy tale. It's the real version — the messy origin story, the brutal turning points, the grind to build, the nine-figure exit… and the part almost nobody talks about:What happens after you win?What you'll learn:• How Gabriel and Steve met through Tiger 21 (and bonded instantly) • Childhood: growing up in Freehold, NJ, single mom, survival mode • The turning point that pulled him away from the street life • Teaching himself internet marketing in the early “wild west” days online • His first business success — and losing it all in 2008 • The unexpected pivot into comedy, and how that led to marketing mastery • Building MuteSix from a Starbucks… to a 9-figure exit — without raising capital • Why Steve was a “wartime CEO”: product innovation + relentless sales execution • A wild story about breaking into a Facebook event at CES (and how it led to the acquisition) • The post-exit reality: fear, identity loss, distractions, and money overwhelm • Steve's 3 pieces of advice for founders approaching an exitWhat success actually means (and why it's not just money)The exit isn't the finish line; it's a transition.If your identity is only your company, the silence afterward can be louder than any boardroom.This episode is for founders, operators, investors, and anyone building something big — especially those who've ever thought, “Once I make it, I'll finally feel… okay.”

Ten years ago, when I couldn't get more than four days without drinking, I kept thinking about one thing: my son. He was eight years old. And I imagined him ten years into the future. I stopped drinking when Hank was almost eight and Lila was almost two. Not because everything fell apart—but because I could see where things were headed if nothing changed. Fast-forward a decade. On my 50th birthday, my son texted asking if he could have his friends over that night to play poker. He didn't hesitate. He didn't worry. He didn't second-guess inviting people into our home. And that was my full-circle moment. I'm celebrating 10 years alcohol-free, and I invited my son Hank (17) and my daughter Lila (11) onto the podcast for a real conversation about our family then vs. now. We talk about what they remember, what they don't, how teens actually think about drinking today, and what really changes inside a family when alcohol is no longer part of the picture.

Episode Description Most outdoor brands share a similar origin story: a founder identifies a need in the wild, builds a product in a garage, and grows a company from there. But as brands scale and growth pressures increase, something often gets lost in "the middle." The result is a sea of epic imagery, interchangeable storytelling, and campaigns that feel indistinguishable once the logo is removed. Ryan Andrist, a marketing leader whose career spans The North Face, Sea to Summit, and Starbucks, joins the show to explore a persistent challenge in the outdoor industry. Ryan and Cole unpack how growth pressures can muddy brand clarity and why the consumer insight is more important than ever.   About: This podcast is produced by Port Side, a creative production studio creating content strategy + production for active brands, rooted in emotion.  Enjoy this episode and discover other resources below: Slack Community | Tired of brainstorming with ChatGPT?

GLP-1 weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound are reshaping the treatment of obesity around the world. But even when these medicines are judged “cost-effective”, access often depends on who can afford to pay. In the second episode of our Business Daily series on the global weight-loss economy, Sam Fenwick examines how different countries are funding — or rationing — access to these high-priced injections. In England, the state's National Health System says the drugs offer good value for money, and yet rollout is being phased in slowly because of cost and capacity pressures. In the United Arab Emirates, most patients rely on private insurance or pay out of their own pockets. And in India, where obesity is rising fast, affordability remains a major barrier, although lower-cost generics may soon change that. If these medicines can prevent diabetes, heart attacks and strokes, they might save health systems money in the long run. But right now, governments, insurers and patients are grappling with the same question: Can we afford the weight-loss revolution?Produced and presented by Sam FenwickIf you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

GLP-1 weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro are reshaping the treatment of obesity — and transforming the global pharmaceutical market.Originally developed to treat type-2 diabetes, these injectable medicines — including semaglutide and tirzepatide — are now widely prescribed for weight loss, with growing evidence they can also reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.But in the United States, access to GLP-1 drugs often depends on insurance coverage — and on who can afford to pay.In this first episode of a three-part Business Daily series on the global weight-loss economy, Sam Fenwick examines the real cost of obesity drugs in the U.S. healthcare system.How much do GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro actually cost? Are they cost-effective in the long term? And can insurers and employers afford to provide them to millions of Americans living with obesity?If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukProduced and presented by Sam Fenwick.Business Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.
