Hey good people! Our friends at Substack see potential in these cult classic House of Glass episodes and wanted to gauge the response from a more regular airing of them (in which we include video of our lovely faces). We're going to be doing these shows biweekly at Tuesday 10 AM PST/1pm EST. Next time we'll be doing a live version where we take some questions. But today, we've got a great one for you. The main anchoring topic: Have we reached the “top” for the NFL and sports league business? Ryan Glasspiegel and I discuss topics that include but aren't limited to: * Is the NFL's international expansion really about growing the game — or collecting billions in expansion fees?* Are American sports leagues taking their loyal domestic fans for granted while chasing the “undecided whale” overseas?* Why are ancient pocket passers suddenly walking off the couch and outperforming younger, more athletic quarterbacks?* What Case Keenum's resurrection says about the current state of NFL quarterback play.* Did Ryan Glasspiegel actually predict the Patriots' collapse because Drake Maye went on too many vacations?* Could Mike Vrabel's very public offseason embarrassment actually be affecting the Patriots on the field?* The cable bundle is dying, local sports rights have collapsed — could national NFL and NBA TV money be next?* The Sacramento Kings hot-mic scandal: normal private workplace chatter, outrageous double standard, or both?* Mike Tomlin is doing something NFL coaches almost never do: publicly calling another coach's game management “negligent.”If you're a House of Glass fan, please spread the word.

It finally arrived, BBQ in the House of Strauss. Eric starts off (almost, had to rave about the brisket) honoring our veterans.

Thanks for listening friends, and boy... do we have a fun storytime for y'all today.My new friend Randi had been trying to get into Cocodona for years.Then, one January morning, a friend sent her a screenshot of something called Burrito League.Fifteen minutes later she had her shoes on.Several months, a pile of new friendships (like me!) and a ridiculously questionable number of repeated Strava segments later…Randi found herself standing at the start of the Bigfoot 200 wondering what, exactly, she had gotten herself into.Spoiler: she finished.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com My new book, The Price of Becoming, is a USA Today, LA Times, Success Magazine, and Publishers Weekly bestseller! I think you'll find it useful. This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. Key Learnings All the greats have a coach. Strauss is one of the most disciplined humans alive, and he has had one since he was 30. His argument: Tom Brady is an amazing athlete, but would he have performed as well with no coach, or a lousy one? A great coach is objective, encouraging, smart, and experienced. They warn you of obstacles you can't see yet. Strauss doesn't want the Socratic method from his coach. He wants direct advice. He'll use questions when he's leading others. But when he brings a problem to his own coach, he wants to be told: "You have that wrong; you're missing this." So What? Strauss was avoiding a confrontation because he knew the other person would be really upset. His coach said, "So what?" He had the conversation. The person was upset. They got to the other side, and it was better than leaving it out there. Bad news doesn't get better with age. The most effective people are the most open-minded and self-critical. The ones who insist they don't need a coach are usually the ones losing. "Arrogance is the enemy of continued success." Humility isn't pretending you're not good. Strauss says claiming he's bumbling through the job would be silly, and he's proud of what he does well. The humility is in staying open. His team's description of him: strongly held opinions, freely shared, and a mind that changes when the facts do. "You're just a terrible speaker." Strauss was 31, newly president of Vestron, and had written an eloquent after-dinner speech he was proud of. He read it off the page. His boss pulled him aside afterward and told him it was terrible. What two days of media training taught Strauss: Talk about what the audience cares about, not what you want to say Never deliver a written speech unless you're President of the United States Inject your personality Try to make them laugh Be of service to the audience. Strauss opens his class at MIT Sloan by asking the students why they came and what they want out of it. It surprises them every time, because speakers never ask. One meeting with 20 people beats 20 meetings with one person. A young CEO Strauss coaches was sleeping four hours a night and spending 20 hours a week on one-on-ones. Strauss told him to do one weekly meeting with all 20.  Delegate with information. Everyone running a group is in the same room once a week and shares everything, including the problems. If it's business, it goes in the room. If it's personal, they can talk one-on-one. Politics shrink because nobody has information nobody else has. Happy stuff doesn't reach the CEO's desk. If it landed on his desk, it's either bad or genuinely complex. That's the system working. Align the words with the dollar signs. Mission, strategy, culture, and compensation all have to point in the same direction. Say you want to be the best in the world while paying people regardless of performance, and they will follow the money every time. The worst comp structure is CEO discretion. It builds a culture where everyone is trying to please one person, and people think pleasing someone means telling them what they want to hear. Hire the most talented people on earth, then support them through thick and thin. Strauss greenlit Dirty Dancing at Vestron on a $5.5 million budget. The first-time director was too scared to speak, so the team pitched it. They claimed the film would change how women dressed, produce an award-winning soundtrack, and win an Oscar. Strauss thought the pitch was nonsense. He didn't even like the script. He greenlit it anyway because he trusted the team over his own judgment. It became the biggest independent hit of all time to that date, a record it held until The Blair Witch Project. Be a good judge of talent, not of products. Knowing which one you are is the whole thing. Leave the escape hatches open. When competitors poured hundreds of millions into VR and the metaverse, Strauss said no. But Take-Two did enough experimentation to move fast if he was wrong, and got paid for every VR project they took on. They lost nothing on the wrong bet. Be creatively risk-forward and financially risk-averse. A well-run film studio had a 30 percent hit ratio, meaning 70 percent of what it released broke even or lost money. So you build the balance sheet first, then take the creative swings. "If you can't afford to lose, you don't play the game." Carl Icahn won because he was a good poker player with a huge stack of chips. When things went against him, he didn't sit around moaning. He went to the next game. At 68, he's up at 4:45 and in the gym by 6:45, often twice a day. Looking your best is a form of respect for other people and for yourself. If you look sloppy and out of shape, it's harder to lead. The other half is simply feeling good enough to show up with energy and a smile. He refuses to hold anyone else to his own personal standard. Everyone is on their own journey, and he doesn't want clones. Thirty minutes of walking five days a week is genuinely good for you. That person is showing up for themselves too. No AI slop in Grand Theft Auto. Take-Two builds handcrafted, building by building. Their teams will use state-of-the-art tools to do great work more efficiently. What they won't do is push a button on someone else's model and call the output theirs. "That's yesterday's headlines." Strauss's father-in-law's answer whenever anyone congratulated him. Take-Two doesn't do the who's-better-than-us party. They show sincere appreciation for great work, and then they get up the next morning and do it again. Reflection Questions Who is the person in your life who will tell you that you have it wrong?  What is the confrontation you're avoiding right now, hoping it resolves itself? Have that conversation today. Where are you taking real risk without the balance sheet to survive being wrong? And where are you so protected that you aren't taking any risk at all?

The party finishes preparations for the Ren Faire, recounting the recent battle and their encounters beyond death before stocking up for the next leg of their journey. At the Faire, Shanks and Zechs dominate the archery game; Turk tests his new abilities in an exhibition fight and is quickly defeated. At the same time, Galahad enters the jousting tournament atop a summoned pegasus. After losing to the crowd-favorite Red Knight, Galahad wins the rematch but nearly kills him, then uses Lay on Hands, pays him an apology, and dramatically flies away. Turk and Zechs receive eerily accurate fortunes, while Arguile and Shanks try their luck at the casino. Galahad later visits The Old Pickaxe, where he bonds with owner Ron over Dwarven whisky and steak, learns more about the city's inner workings, and is offered another job involving a corrupt figurehead. Meanwhile, preparations for Uscana continue: Zechs learns that his bow, Jack of All Trades, is made from rare ghost silver tied to the Astral Sea and a dead god's tooth, while Galahad retrieves his reforged Kanna's Blazing Fury and buys the Thunderstrike Mace. The party then takes Strauss's company jet toward Uscana, only to be attacked by flying Fey; the pilot is killed, Glad and Turk struggle to land the aircraft, and Galahad destroys the primary attacker before the party crash-lands.After assessing the wreckage, Shanks and Duo scout the dense Feywild forest while Zechs confirms the overwhelming Fey presence. The group prepares protections against Fey magic, and Glad offers tribute to the land for safe passage before encountering a booze-loving pixie and narrowly escaping a Fey trap. Zechs stresses that the party follows his lead, given his experience in the Feywild, and they establish camp. During the watches, Arguile and Shanks encourage Duo to pursue a more active role beyond scouting; Turk explains why the crash shook him and discusses his past and Paladin oaths with Galahad, who promises the party will support him against Kas if needed; and Glad and Zechs discuss faith, the gods, and their found-family bond. Their conversation is interrupted by the Briar Envoy, who chastises them for failing to properly present themselves to the Queen and demands a suitable tribute within a day. Hoshino then returns with The Journeyman, exhausted but warmly welcomed, and the party brings him up to speed before heading to the Fey Court. Queen Sinestra offers two choices for their tribute: retrieve a once-in-a-century Songbloom from the treants or recover her former consort's mask, and the party chooses the Songbloom to avoid provoking a war.Using Shanks's knowledge of the Songbloom and Zechs's tracking abilities, the party begins the detour while Galahad grows increasingly frustrated with their circumstances. During camp, Turk receives another lesson in Thieves' Cant, reveals his singing ability, and tells Hoshino how he earned the nickname Big T; Hoshino counters with a story about Arguile and Shanks battling the Gathakanaki warriors. Shanks senses they are being watched, later confirmed during Arguile and Hoshino's watch as they discuss Arioch, family, and Hoshino's regret at missing what happened; Arguile assures him there is nothing to forgive. The final watch is lighter, with Zechs teasing Galahad about his frustrations. The next morning, the party organizes spells and supplies, with Duo estimating two days to their destination, but Shanks and Zechs continue sensing their pursuers. Shanks finally slips into stealth and activates his Gem of Seeing, revealing an armor-clad Loxodon painfully familiar to the group.There's so much happening, and we pick up with arc 31, “Daughter of the Vine”.

Dark? Yes. Also hilarious, in terms of perpetrator Daejon Love's come ons, e.g., telling women his family owned part of the Gucci store “on Saks Fifth Avenue.” They also talk Ethan's recent “get that nose to the grindstone, kids” piece about making money in sports media, how to help your aging parents not get scammed, and whether anyone on the panel cares what people think of them. (Spoiler: 1.5 yes/1.5 no.)Also discussed:* Katie Herzog retools her addition to help others* “Unnecessary cleavage” * Ethan as Chuck Klosterman of the week* Daejon Love is nowhere near as hot as Napoleon* “I was a white girl on Tinder”* “Necessity is the motherf**ker of invention.”* Some love for The Gift of Fear* The iPhone as elder abuse* Cary Grant, anyone?

Buy it now xxMemoirist Hepola returns after her acclaimed recovery memoir, Blackout, with a wickedly lovable account of three lost loves: a married man, a younger man, and a New Orleans cop she once believed was the man of her dreams. The title arrives when she phones the married guy for advice about dealing with his 29-year-old successor. “I'm scared I only want what I can't have,” she tells the ex. “Oh baby,” he replies, “It's the only thing there is to want.” This line feels to Hepola like a skeleton key to her existence, unlocking the surprising amount of pleasure (not to mention the very good stories) one can find on the path of an apparently hopeless quest. Hepola's self-deprecating candor and perfectly paced storytelling make this book anything but the boohoo-fest you might imagine. Possibly the perfect gift for a friend going through a breakup.About that unnecessary cleavage…

Barry Strauss, author of Jews vs. Rome, Part One: Strauss covers the First Jewish-Roman War, focusing on the defense and subsequent fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Relying heavily on the historian Josephus—who surrendered at Jotapataand prophesied Vespasian's rise to secure his own survival—Strauss examines the siege led by Vespasian's son, Titus. Despite Jerusalem's robust, thick fortifications, internal factional infighting among Jewish rebel leaders John, Simon, and Eleazar doomed the defense by destroying the city's critical grain supply. This culminated in the devastating destruction of the Second Temple and Jerusalem's absolute leveling. (1)

Barry Strauss, Part Two: Strauss examines subsequent Jewish rebellions across the Roman Empire, beginning with the coordinated Diaspora Revolt during Trajan's Parthian campaign. The revolt severely disrupted Rome but led to the destruction of Alexandria's large Jewish community. To assert dominance, Emperor Hadrian rebuilt Jerusalem as the pagan city Aelia Capitolina, banning the Jewish temple. This provoked the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–136 AD) under Simon bar Kokhba. Using asymmetrical guerrilla warfare and tunnels, the rebels fought bitterly before their defeat at Betar. Strauss concludes with the 4th-century Gallus Revolt and 7th-century Sasanian campaign. (3)

Send us Fan MailIn this episode: Christi and Angela welcome back Denver-based construction law attorney Kate Strauss, now leading the construction team at the national firm Fennemore, to discuss rapid AI adoption in construction. Strauss describes the divide between office staff who are high AI adopters and field staff who may distrust “Big Brother” technology, along with growing AI fatigue and the need to retain human connection and technical competence. The conversation highlights survey data showing increased AI investment and usage in administrative work, estimating, and preconstruction, driven partly by labor shortages and fast promotions. Strauss outlines hidden legal risks, including discoverability of chat histories, potential waiver of attorney-client privilege, and litigation scrutiny of AI-generated contracts and change orders, urging company leaders to implement clear AI platforms, training, safeguards, escalation points, and true human oversight.Supported by: NPKSupport the show

They talk with us about how they got started and what it's like to sign with a big time LA commercial production company, and why they weren't living in LA at the time. I thought this was a good match for our chat with Michael Naizu and John Wilcox from Monday because they are both brother co-directors who are collaborating in a very different way..

The 2027 Physician Fee Schedule signals a continued restructuring of clinician payment-redistributing funds towards primary care and behavioral health while providing signals for what's coming next.OTs and PTs can no longer sit on the sidelines. As straightforward, low-complexity care increasingly moves toward digital pathways and as patients increasingly access care through digital front doors, we must advocate that CMS properly values the high-value cognitive work and in-person, complex clinical reasoning and officially integrates therapy as the missing third pillar of the primary care team. This year's proposed rule is a critical opportunity to provide CMS solutions that can be met by OTs and PTs and advocate for key coding updates: reimbursing existing evaluation codes by complexity level and creating new non-time-based management codes to capture longitudinal care provided by occupational and physical therapists.At OT Potential, we're equipping YOU to raise your voice. In this live webinar and course, we'll spend an hour unpacking the proposed rule, detailing our policy asks, and sharing a simple, plug-and-play comment template so you can submit your own letter to CMS.

The Light Gate Welcomes GUEST: Lee Strauss (Bigfoot/UFO researcher/experiencer/podcaster) Date: August 24, 2026 Time: 5-7pm pacific / 8-10pm eastern Episode 173 Discussion: Bigfoot & UFOs ABOUT THE GUEST: Lee is the Host of Spaced Out Radio's "Element 115," Friday evenings from 8pm-9pm Pacific. Lee's fascination with the unknown was sparked in his childhood, growing up in Washington State. Camping and hiking trips with his parents instilled in him a love for the outdoors, while his grandfather, a chief engineer at Boeing, ignited his interest in UFOs with captivating slides of sightings near Washington D.C. Influenced by his father and grandfather's passion for photography, Lee developed a keen eye for capturing life's moments. However, it wasn't until he began experiencing waking dreams that he stumbled upon a new purpose. Seeking answers, Lee joined a Meetup group for abductees and began working with Dr. Janet Colli. This journey led him to SUFON (Seattle UFO Network), where he met Tom Sanger, who gifted him his first night vision camera. Lee's first UFO sighting, captured at Mt. Baker, lasted an astonishing 15 minutes and sparked an unrelenting drive to master camera technology and capture evidence of the unknown. As a founding member of UFOITEAM, Lee's passion continued to grow. He later branched out to form "Ander and Lee on the Trail," where he pushes the boundaries of innovation, striving to uncover evidence of UFOs and Bigfoot.

Episode 364 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a can't-miss interview with Swedish pro and former U.S. Olympian Strauss Mann.In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Mann, a former University of Michigan standout, takes us through the ups and downs of his first four years of pro hockey since the Olympics. From struggling with situations beyond his control that limited opportunities in North America, to rediscovering his passion for the game in Europe and setting top Swedish League shutout records and winning a championship last season, the lessons Mann shares from his journey really are can't-miss for goalies, coaches and parents. They include a strong focus on meditation, and advice on how to make it a valuable tool, which in part led to a new venture off the ice called Haus (buildyourhaus.com) that offers mentorship and coaching circles as well as 1-on-1 work, not just for goalies but for their parents too, as well as a team-focused five-part speaker series this season of virtual and asynchronous workshops from world-class coaches in performance and personal development.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, Hutch shares key lessons and takeaways from the parent perspective from InGoal's trip to the 2026 USA Hockey Goaltending Symposium in Boston.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie breaking down the keys to knowing when to attack and when to sit back on an open look off the rush.And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Warrior Alpha Surge S50, a lower price point version of the all new Surge pad with lots of the same features and a slightly softer flex profile.

Strauss het eksklusief met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesels.

In this episode of the New Books Network, we talk with Jeremy Tiang about his English translation of The Formosa Exchange (Honford Star, 2026)—which will be released on September 18, 2026 (but is available for preorder).Tiang is a novelist, playwright, and translator based in New York. He has translated more than thirty books from Chinese to English—including Zou Jingzhi's Ninth Building, longlisted for the 2023 International Booker Prize—and has served as a judge for the National Book Award for translated literature. Beyond translation, his novel State of Emergency won the Singapore Literature Prize in 2018, and his play Salesman之死 won a Obie Award for Outstanding New Play in 2023. Originally published in Mandarin in 2021 as 新寶島 and winner of that year's Taiwan Literature Award, The Formosa Exchange is a work of speculative fiction by Taiwanese novelist Huang Chongkai (黃崇凱). The novel kicks off with a fantastical occurrence: one night, the entire populations of Taiwan and Cuba swap places, with Taiwanese people ending up on the island of Cuba and Cuban people on the island of Taiwan. This “Great Exchange” becomes a lens for examining national identity, indigeneity, and colonialism, especially with reference to Taiwan's and Cuba's shared position in the shadow of their much larger neighbors of China and the United States. Scholars and learners across history, political science, anthropology, literature, and beyond will find much food for thought in The Formosa Exchange. The novel is dense with allusions—it nods to Western thinkers like John Mearsheimer and Claude Lévi-Strauss, while also weaving in references to Taiwanese and Cuban literature, art, and film. Anthony Kao is a writer who intersects international affairs and cultural criticism. He founded/edits Cinema Escapist—a publication exploring the sociopolitical context behind global film and television—and also writes for outlets like The Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Diplomat, and Eater.

Cosmic LOVE Newsletter of the Week with Metaphysician Christopher Rudy The Lion's Gate: From Global Crisis to Conscious Metamorphosis Christopher Rudy explores the 8-8 Lion's Gate, the Fourth Turning, Authentic Intelligence, institutional power, the White Hat Alliance, and humanity's passage through what he describes as a profound transformation of consciousness and civilization. You can find the Newsletters archived below: July 26, 2026, The Banksters Are Busted! So What? Now What? https://www.heartcom.org/BankstersBusted.htm July 29, 2026, Full Moon Overview of Global Crisis & Opportunity: Revelations Unbound! https://www.heartcom.org/JulyOverview.htm July 31, 2026, White Hats and The Alliance - Perception Empowerment Process https://www.heartcom.org/Harmony.htm August 4, 2026, Deep Shift Dynamics Transforming Everything - The Fourth Turning https://www.heartcom.org/FourthTurning.htm August 8, 2026, LION'S GATE ZEITGEIST NOW https://www.heartcom.org/2026LionsGate.htm Host Spotlight Christopher Rudy opens this edition of Cosmic LOVE by returning to the program's defining theme of love as an organizing spiritual frequency. He explains that the episode draws from five newsletters published between July 26 and August 8, covering international finance, global crisis and opportunity, the White Hat Alliance, the Fourth Turning, and the 8-8 Lion's Gate. Rather than treating these subjects separately, Rudy presents them as different views of a single transition in which entrenched systems are being exposed while new possibilities for self-government, technology, communication, and collective consciousness emerge. He describes his newsletters as multimedia collections of articles, videos, memes, satire, graphics, and spiritual commentary intended to encourage listeners to examine difficult material without losing hope or perspective. The show repeatedly returns to a central contrast between what Rudy calls fear-driven systems of control and a higher model based on conscience, sovereignty, cooperation, and Cosmic LOVE. Five Newsletters Inside One Larger Story Rudy begins by mapping the five newsletters that frame the broadcast. The Banksters Are Busted! addresses what he regards as entrenched financial interests and international banking structures that exercise disproportionate control over governments, resources, war, and economic policy. His July overview then broadens the lens to what he calls an unprecedented convergence of global crisis and opportunity, while the July 31 White Hats – The Alliance newsletter introduces his concept of an emerging coalition organized less around labels than around shared moral frequency and purpose. The August 4 Fourth Turning article places those developments inside a larger theory of generational crisis and civilizational metamorphosis, and the August 8 Lion's Gate newsletter provides the metaphysical framework tying the episode together. Rudy explicitly says that all five publications appeared during what he considers the energetic Lion's Gate window from July 26 through August 12. In his telling, the apparent chaos of politics, finance, media, technology, and culture is therefore not random but part of a purification process through which previously hidden problems are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The Banksters Busted article strengthens this point by contrasting what Rudy sees as concentrated financial power with an alternative based on sovereign rights, ethical communication, and what he calls a systemic TLC Reset. Its later pages propose building systems that are more difficult to corrupt, moving people and representatives into those systems, and eventually using them to reform existing institutions. Cosmic Fire and the 8-8 Lion's Gate Much of the episode is devoted to Rudy's interpretation of the Lion's Gate as a period of unusually concentrated spiritual and psychological intensity. He describes the annual portal as extending from late July into mid-August, with August 8 representing its energetic high point, and connects it with Leo, Sirius, Orion, the pyramids of Giza, and a broader pattern of celestial geometry. Rudy interprets these alignments metaphysically rather than merely astronomically, suggesting they correspond with increased intuition, synchronicity, heightened awareness, sudden endings, new beginnings, spiritual insight, and greater receptivity to what he calls “light codes.” The Lion's Gate article similarly describes the period as a time for setting intentions with “great vision, virtue and valor” and portrays the alignment as a symbolic meeting of physical and etheric realities. Rudy's larger point is about using the Lion's Gate as what he calls a “metaphysical meme” and "exquisite metaphor” for coalescing cosmic energies and for concentrated transformation. The number eight becomes another part of that symbolism: vertically, it represents “as above, so below,” while horizontally it becomes the infinity symbol and a representation of complementary polarities such as masculine and feminine, logical and intuitive, left brain and right brain. The article develops this symbolism into a practical call for intention, attention, heart coherence, and what Rudy describes as full-spectrum comprehension. The Fourth Turning and Humanity in the Cocoon The caterpillar-to-butterfly metaphor provides one of the strongest organizing images in the broadcast. Rudy says global civilization is presently inside the “cocoon,” where old institutions and identities are breaking apart but the civilization that may eventually replace them has not yet fully formed. He associates caterpillar consciousness with a 3D worldview and butterfly consciousness with a 5D state of greater unity, while the transitional cocoon represents a four-stage 4D process: dissolution of the caterpillar, identity crisis, formation of the butterfly, and eventual emergence. During the broadcast he places humanity specifically in the identity-crisis stage, comparing global civilization to an adolescent that is no longer a child but has not yet matured into an adult. The Fourth Turning article gives this metaphor additional structure. It describes the present era as moving from “Unraveling” toward “Crisis,” connects that pattern with Strauss and Howe's generational theory, and portrays current institutional instability as the disintegration stage preceding reconstruction. Rudy then adds his own metaphysical model, arguing that AI, quantum change, communications technology, and “heartware” could help provide the cultural DNA of a more conscious civilization. The article therefore transforms the familiar Fourth Turning idea from a theory of recurring social crisis into Rudy's larger spiritual narrative of 3D disintegration, 4D transition, and eventual 5D “Unified Field Conscience.” Power, Media, Banking and the “Great Delusion” Rudy places some of the episode's heaviest political and institutional material inside his purification metaphor. Just as impurities rise to the surface when metal is heated, he argues that corruption in finance, government, media, medicine, technology, and geopolitics is becoming increasingly visible during the present period. He discusses international banking interests, media consolidation, pharmaceutical influence, surveillance technologies, political Zionism, U.S.–Israel relations, congressional corruption, vaccine controversies, and concentrated corporate ownership. These are frequently framed in highly charged terms, and many of the individual allegations come from outside articles and videos curated within Rudy's newsletters rather than independently established findings. The Banksters Busted newsletter connects this institutional critique to Rudy's opposition to systems that profit from war and scarcity, while the July Overview extends the argument to centralized AI, mass media, government, and what Rudy calls “closed, centralized systems.” The July article contrasts those systems with open, decentralized communications and insists that Authentic Intelligence should harness AI rather than allow technology to become another mechanism of concentrated power. Despite the severity of his critique, Rudy repeatedly warns against becoming trapped in fear. His recurring “slag and gold” metaphor is important: exposing corruption is valuable only if awareness leads toward a constructive alternative rather than permanent anger, despair, or what he calls “stuck in negativity.” The White Hat Alliance and Harmony From the Inside Out The constructive alternative emerges most clearly through Rudy's discussion of the “White Hat Alliance.” In the associated newsletter, the alliance is not presented simply as a conventional organization or political faction. Instead, the article says it is “about frequency,” describing alignment as resonating with the same underlying harmonic rather than agreeing on every issue. Its central movement is from the inside outward: light within the individual becomes beauty, beauty becomes harmony, harmony becomes order, and order becomes peace. That article introduces Rudy's Perception Empowerment Process, or PEP, as a self-mastery framework for integrating body, mind, and spirit while becoming more conscious of how perception shapes individual and collective behavior. The later pages connect this approach with David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness and describe the “White Hat Alliance” as enlightened global netizens attempting to bring Authentic Intelligence to AI, social networking, and what Rudy calls a Global TLC Reset. This material gives additional meaning to Rudy's frequent instruction to remain like the still center of a hurricane rather than becoming psychologically absorbed in the surrounding turmoil. In his worldview, social transformation begins with perceptual and emotional self-government. The alliance therefore represents not simply opposition to a perceived “dark side,” but a proposed cultural shift from coercion and fear toward conscience, cooperation, self-mastery, and heart coherence. Authentic Intelligence, Heartware and the Civilization Beyond the Crisis The episode ultimately moves from diagnosis toward Rudy's vision of what might replace failing systems. He repeatedly distinguishes Authentic Intelligence from artificial intelligence, arguing that AI reflects the worldview and values of those who design, own, prompt, and control it. AI, like money or other technologies, is therefore neither automatically liberating nor inherently destructive; its consequences depend upon the human intentions and ethical structures directing it. Rudy believes the next stage of the digital revolution should move beyond hardware, software, and networking toward heartware—communications systems informed by conscience, sovereign rights, cyberethics, and a universal interface capable of promoting unity without erasing diversity. The five articles reinforce that same trajectory from several directions. July Overview speaks of open decentralized systems and an “InnerNet” capable of cultivating social conscience. The Fourth Turning describes heartware as providing cultural DNA for a civilization emerging from its cocoon. The Lion's Gate article envisions global communications, AI-assisted translation, telecare, telecommerce, and cyberethical standards operating through a wider TLC Reset. And the White Hat article frames the same transition as a movement toward collective coherence and more conscious use of AI. Rudy closes by locating the listener inside that transition rather than outside it. Humanity, in his metaphor, has not yet become the butterfly; it is still experiencing the instability of the cocoon. Yet he sees the current identity crisis as preparation for a civilization organized around what he calls the United Sovereigns of Earth, first principles, the Golden Rule of sovereign rights, and a global culture capable of joining technological intelligence with human conscience. His final message is therefore one of participation: keep faith, see the good, consciously choose what to amplify, and become part of the change one hopes will emerge from the present upheaval.

John Batchelor introduces Barry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium, to discuss the transition from the death of Julius Caesar to the rise of Augustus. Strauss identifies Plutarch and Cassius Dio as the primary historical sources, noting they had access to earlier, now-lost records. The discussion focuses on three main figures: Mark Antony, Octavian, and Cleopatra. At Caesar's death, Mark Antony was a consul and Caesar's lieutenant, hailing from the high Roman nobility. In contrast, Octavian (later Augustus) came from an equestrian family but gained status as Caesar's great-nephew and adopted heir. While Antony was a seasoned warrior, Octavian focused on political acumen. The Second Triumvirate, consisting of Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus, was formed to punish Caesar's assassins, leading to the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC, where Antony emerged as the hero while Octavian struggled.

Barry Strauss introduces Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt and member of the Ptolemaic dynasty founded by one of Alexander the Great's generals. Strauss describes Alexandria as the Mediterranean's greatest metropolis and a wealthy cultural hub. Cleopatra is depicted as a "tough player" who survived deadly family intrigues to rule Egypt. When she meets Antony in 41 BC at Tarsus, she dazzles him with a spectacular, perfumed arrival on a barge. Antony views Cleopatra not just as a lover, but as a vital financial resource for his Eastern ambitions. A key point of contention is Caesarion, Cleopatra's son, whom many believed was the child of Julius Caesar. Octavian's later propaganda painted the East as "effeminate" compared to Roman manliness. To demonstrate her immense wealth, Cleopatra famously dissolved a priceless pearl in vinegar during an extravagant dinner. (2)

Barry Strauss traces the fracturing of the Second Triumvirate as Octavian utilizes his sister, Octavia, who marries Antony to seal a peace treaty in 40 BC. While depicted as a devoted housewife, Strauss suggests she remained loyal to Octavian, potentially providing intelligence. In Rome, Octavian builds power by marrying into the high nobility and cultivating talent, specifically his "secret weapon," Marcus Agrippa. Agrippa, a brilliant military strategist, builds a new navy to defeat Sextus Pompey, a naval threat based in Sicily. Meanwhile, Antony's reputation suffers after a failed campaign against the Parthian Empire, resulting in the loss of 25% of his army. By 33 BC, the triumvirate expires, and Octavian launches an information war. He portrays Antony as an "unmanned" traitor enslaved by Cleopatra, mocking his adoption of Eastern luxuries like mosquito nets. (3)

Barry Strauss examines Mark Antony's critical "unforced error" of 33 BC: divorcing Octavia, Octavian's sister. This move provides Octavian with a massive propaganda victory, allowing him to frame Antony as having betrayed Rome for an Egyptian queen. Strauss explains the divorce was a "credible commitment" by Antony to show his Eastern supporters he was fully committed to the coming conflict. Despite advice from his experienced admiral, Ahenobarbus, to leave Cleopatra behind, Antony refuses because she controls the treasury and the Egyptian navy. While Antony may have preferred a campaign against Parthia, Octavian forces his hand by declaring war. Antony's decision to bring Cleopatra into the war effort is anathema to Romans, who view her as a foreign invader. This sets the stage for confrontation, with Octavian relying on the tactical genius of Marcus Agrippa. (4)

Barry Strauss shifts the conflict to the western coast of Greece, where Antony and Cleopatra's massive fleet waits at Actium. Strauss emphasizes that while tactics are for amateurs, logistics are for professionals. Marcus Agrippa executes a brilliant logistical strike by capturing Methone, a vital supply base on the southwestern coast of Greece. This amphibious landing, conducted under the cover of a quarter moon, cuts Antony's essential supply line from Egypt. Antony, stationed further north at Patrae, fails to react effectively to this "one-two punch." While Agrippa disrupts the rear, Octavian moves his fleet north of Actium, effectively trapping Antony's forces. Strauss notes the strangeness of Antony's decision to wait for the enemy rather than invading Italy, suggesting he may have lost his nerve or been constrained by the propaganda risk Cleopatra posed. (5)

Barry Strauss narrates the naval Battle of Actium, which begins on September 2, 31 BC. Antony and Cleopatracommand approximately 230 ships against Octavian and Agrippa's fleet of nearly 400. Facing starvation due to Agrippa's blockade, Antony and Cleopatra decide on a breakout battle to escape by sea with their treasury. During the battle, Cleopatra's flagship, flying a purple sail, breaks through a gap in the Roman line. Antony follows her in a smaller ship, abandoning his fleet and army in a move that Strauss describes as a devastating blow to his Roman honor. Despite their leaders' flight, Antony's men continue to fight until Octavian uses fire arrows to destroy their remaining ships. The lovers escape south toward Alexandria, but Antony is left in a state of deep melancholy after deserting his troops. (6)

De Richard Wagner qu'il vénérait, Adolf Hitler aura retenu l'antisémitisme viscéral et la musique ensorcelante dont il nourrira son idéologie mortifère.Au cœur de l'Autriche du début du 20e siècle, le jeune Adolf Hitler, âgé de 16 ans, assiste à une représentation de l'opéra Rienzi de Richard Wagner à l'Opéra de Linz. Cette soirée sera un véritable tournant dans la vie du futur Führer, marquant le début d'une passion dévorante pour la musique et l'œuvre du compositeur allemand.Franck Ferrand nous plonge dans ce moment charnière de l'histoire, alors que le jeune Hitler est saisi par la puissance de la musique de Wagner et la dimension mythologique de son opéra. Fasciné par le personnage de Rienzi, le tribun du peuple, Hitler y voit le reflet de ses propres ambitions et d'une mission qu'il s'est donnée : relever l'Allemagne et la conduire vers une grandeur nouvelle. Au-delà de cette révélation musicale, l'émission explore les liens complexes entre Hitler et la musique, et notamment son admiration pour d'autres compositeurs comme Beethoven, Bruckner ou Strauss. Mais elle montre aussi comment le dictateur a tenté d'instrumentaliser la musique à des fins de propagande, sans pour autant réussir à imposer ses propres choix.Avec son sens du récit et sa maîtrise des détails historiques, Franck Ferrand nous offre un éclairage fascinant sur la manière dont la passion d'Hitler pour la musique a façonné son idéologie et son projet politique

The 2026 NFL schedule is here, and it's time to admit it: this is a total scam. We knew the games months ago, and "strength of schedule" is just a guess based on a season that's already over. Yet, here we are, reading every headline just to plan our November. If we're going to waste our time on nonsense, let's at least make it interesting nonsense. Let's stop the schedule-shuffling and start a much weirder conversation: What if American football played by soccer's rules? Plus, Ethan Strauss of House of Strauss stops by to give his thoughts on storylines and why we think the way we do. Don't miss it.
