***The Youtube version of this podcast is recommended due to the visual nature of the recording.***I think one of the greatest and sacred things that you can experience is the firing of Pueblo pottery and I was very fortunate to be able to witness a firing right before the 2026 Santa Fe Indian Market. It was a very famous family of pottery makers too. The family includes Christopher Youngblood, Joseph Youngblood, and Sergio Lugo (who ends up winning Best of Show just a few days after we filmed this firing) and they are all brothers. We also got to speak to the amazing Jennifer Tafoya, (who's married to Chris Youngblood) who won Best of Show three years ago. In fact, Chris's mother, Nancy Youngblood, also won Best of Show in the past (though we didn't get to see her this time around) which makes this one of, if not the most decorated family of potters in the history of Indian Market. It's very obviously a great line of pottery makers, and they all stand on their own. They're all terrific artisans with their own specialties and it's so interesting to watch what's really involved in doing a firing. First of all, it's a dangerous thing to do the way with the constant smoke and flames. It can take decades to really get to the point where you can be a master at firing. It's a truly sacred event. You'll see it. I mean, they literally make blessings to the pottery that they are firing. This is the kind of thing I love to do. It's important to me. It feels important as I'm asking them questions and documenting the process. So if you want to watch experts of their craft do what they do best, watch the Youngblood/Lugo/Tafoya family fire two very important vessels in this special presentation of a firing at their home.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Tuesday's critical primary results in three states, another blue state enthusiastically embracing abortion up to the moment of birth, Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blaming Israel for Hunter's laptop scandal, and another House incumbent losing his primary.First, they walk through the primary results in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Carolina, including how socialist Francesca Hong blew a nearly 30 point lead within just a few days, whether Michele Tafoya can win a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota, and what Tuesday's South Carolina U.S. Senate primary might tell us about who might win the runoff there.Next, they shudder as Massachusetts becomes the latest state to legalize abortion for any reason or no reason up to the moment of birth. Greg points out that any third trimester complication can be dealt with by delivering instead of killing the baby. Jim details how drastically the left's position on abortion has changed in recent years.Then, they groan as Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blame Israel for Hunter's laptop fiasco and pushing the story to the media. Jim begs Biden to go away and he also addresses growing concerns that Tucker will start a third party designed to sink Republicans in 2028.Finally, they note Connecticut Rep. John Larson losing his primary on Tuesday, adding to a much longer list of incumbents fired by their own party's voters in 2026 thna in most cycles.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Democrat Amy Klobuchar and Republican Lisa Demuth will compete to be Minnesota's next governor. Either would make history as the state's first woman leader. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan won a decisive victory in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate. Flanagan defeated U.S. Rep. Angie Craig. The margin of victory was much wider than many expected in a race where Flanagan was vastly outspent.At her victory party at First Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, Flanagan turned her gaze toward her November opponent, former sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya, who won the Republican nomination. Minnesota hasn't elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 2002. But Tafoya says she's a new kind of candidate and says she will not be beholden to her party or President Donald Trump.A crew member assigned to work to contain the wildfires that are burning in northern Minnesota has died. The incident management team that is overseeing firefighting operations says in a statement that “a medical emergency occurred” at about 10:40 a.m. Tuesday “involving an individual assigned to the incident.”Klobuchar is DFL nominee for governor, Demuth wins GOP race over two rivalsFlanagan wins DFL duel in Senate race, Tafoya claims GOP nod for open seatCrew member battling to contain northern Minnesota wildfires dies

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a Democratic identity politics clash over the 2028 primary calendar, why Michele Tafoya is way ahead in Minnesota's GOP Senate primary, New Jersey registering noncitizens to vote, and an Arizona House race with a New York Jets twist.First, Jim and Greg watch identity politics turn inward as South Carolina and Nevada battle over the 2028 Democratic primary schedule. South Carolina Democratic chair Christale Spain warned that elevating Nevada tells Black voters they matter less than "brown voters." Greg notes identity politics always eats its own.Next, they cover good news in Minnesota, where friend of the show Michele Tafoya leads the Republican U.S. Senate primary with 41 percent. Jim and Greg praise her polished delivery and anti-fraud campaign ad, though they worry Mike Lindell's lead in the governor's primary could weigh down the ticket.Then, they dig into New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill admitting a Motor Vehicle Commission software error registered 6,600 noncitizens to vote and allowed roughly 400 illegal votes. Jim questions why officials hid the two-year-old glitch, while Greg argues voter registration should not be a casual DMV add-on.Finally, they highlight an Arizona toss-up congressional race featuring a New York Jets connection. Former NFL kicker Jay Feely won the GOP primary in the 1st Congressional District and will likely face Democrat Amish Shah, the team's former doctor. Jim and Greg note the winner could help determine control of the U.S. House.

Joan Tafoya joins Jamie Flinchbaugh on People Solve Problems for a conversation built around one deceptively simple question: how do you coach problem solving when the person in front of you is difficult to coach? Joan, a former director at Meta, Intel, and Sandia National Laboratories with nearly 38 years of experience, brings a perspective shaped by leading large, globally dispersed teams and by watching problem-solving succeed and fail at scale. Joan opens by describing her own growth as a leader. In her early years as an engineer and manager, she was focused on results and often grew frustrated when people did not solve problems the way she would have. Over time, she recognized that she could not advance until she taught others to think differently, not to think like her, but to think more deliberately about problem-solving itself. She points to a turning point while running a manufacturing line at Intel, where a constant stream of people asking for the next step left her burning out. The shift she made was to narrate her own thinking out loud so others could follow it, and to ask people what they were thinking rather than supplying every answer. That experience leads to one of the central themes of the episode. Joan is honest that her move toward coaching began partly as self-preservation, but she came to see it as something larger. She realized her team did not always share the same picture of success, and that alignment on both the problem and the desired outcome mattered as much as effort. Coaching, in her telling, became the way to build a group of trusted people who could carry the work forward and free her to take on new challenges. Joan also reflects on the challenge of coaching highly credentialed experts. At Sandia National Laboratories, she built a department focused on lean and problem-solving practices in an environment where nearly everyone held a PhD. Rather than pretending to match their technical depth, she earned credibility by listening carefully, reflecting what she heard, and asking sharper questions, especially about the knowledge gaps standing between the team and its next breakthrough. Prioritization is another area Joan explores in depth. Drawing on her time at Meta, she describes a culture that was learning to balance speed with reliability. Her first prioritization question is not whether a problem is important but whether her team is the one best suited to solve it. She warns against the instinct to swarm every visible problem, comparing it to a kindergarten soccer team chasing the ball. She also looks for quick wins that build momentum and morale without draining resources from larger work. On ideation, Joan emphasizes starting with clarity. She often opens sessions with a silent exercise in which everyone writes down the problem statement and what success would look like, which surfaces a wider range of views and avoids groupthink. She values bringing contrarians into the room, while noting that a contrarian works best when given clear expectations about how to contribute rather than simply being allowed to push back. Joan closes with advice for young engineers hoping to lead in fast-paced, demanding environments. She believes people grow most while they are struggling and pushing past what feels comfortable, and she encourages giving yourself grace during those stretches while still choosing to step into the discomfort. It is a fitting end to a conversation that treats problem-solving as something every person can learn and every leader can nurture.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Crickets from Iran Clay Travis and Buck Sexton outline the administration’s next steps as Vice President JD Vance prepares for a high‑stakes diplomatic mission to Pakistan for renewed negotiations with Iran. The hosts analyze President Trump’s morning comments on CNBC, where he stressed American control over the Strait of Hormuz, refused to extend the current ceasefire deadline, and warned that military action could resume if negotiations stall. The conversation explores whether the U.S. naval blockade is truly succeeding, how Iran is attempting to leverage ceasefire optics, and why negotiations with the Iranian regime are notoriously difficult due to deception, internal power struggles, and the lack of a clear decision‑maker within Tehran’s leadership. Clay and Buck also discuss the absence of any visible popular uprising inside Iran despite heavy military pressure, questioning assumptions about regime collapse and examining whether economic pressure, prolonged embargoes, or stronger military escalation would be required to force real change. Spilling the SCOTUS Tea An in‑depth conversation with journalist and Federalist editor‑in‑chief Mollie Hemingway, discussing her new book Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution. Hemingway addresses speculation around potential Supreme Court retirements, explaining why Justice Samuel Alito is unlikely to step down soon while also noting that multiple Republican‑appointed justices are now in their 70s. She explores Alito’s judicial legacy, originalist philosophy, and long‑term focus on religious liberty, including his interest in revisiting key precedent such as Employment Division v. Smith. The discussion also touches on internal Court tensions, Chief Justice John Roberts’ struggles to maintain institutional norms, and the breakdown of collegiality among justices. A major portion of the interview is devoted to exclusive reporting on the Dobbs leak, which overturned Roe v. Wade. Hemingway details how the leak endangered justices and their families, revealing that conservative justices faced sustained assassination threats while liberal justices allegedly delayed their dissent for weeks. She outlines failures in the Supreme Court’s internal investigation, explains why the leaker was likely a clerk or court staffer rather than a justice, and connects the episode to ongoing concerns about politically motivated leaks, slow‑walked opinions, and public attacks on the legitimacy of the Court. Hemingway also weighs in on pending Supreme Court cases, including racial gerrymandering and birthright citizenship, and offers insight into Justice Alito’s continued influence on major decisions. The segment closes with candid discussion of how Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is viewed internally, with critiques of her jurisprudence and legal reasoning. Don't Wear a Bikini on the Job An interview with Michele Tafoya, former NFL broadcaster and Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. Tafoya discusses her record‑setting fundraising numbers, grassroots momentum, and why Minnesota represents one of the most important potential Senate flips in the upcoming midterms. She explains that voter anger in Minnesota is driven by government fraud, lack of accountability for Democratic leadership, rising crime, failing schools, and embarrassment over national perception of the state. Tafoya strongly criticizes Governor Tim Walz, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, and Attorney General Keith Ellison, accusing them of avoiding accountability and pushing divisive policies. She highlights education failures, controversial ethnic studies curricula, and declining academic performance as key local issues. The conversation also focuses heavily on women’s sports, parental rights, and opposition to biological males competing in girls’ athletics—an issue Tafoya says continues to resonate deeply with parents across Minnesota. She frames the Senate race as both a Minnesota‑specific accountability fight and a nationally consequential election that could solidify Republican control of the U.S. Senate. Kamala: Imma Get Mine Clay and Buck report that Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick of Florida has resigned from Congress after being found guilty of numerous House ethics violations and facing federal charges related to the alleged misuse of FEMA funds. The hosts explain why this resignation matters nationally, given the narrow margins in the House and multiple recent resignations, and what it could mean for upcoming special elections. The hour also continues real‑time monitoring of U.S.–Iran diplomacy, with fresh reporting that Vice President JD Vance still has not departed for Pakistan, increasingly suggesting that any negotiations may shift to secure video calls instead of in‑person talks. The conversation then pivots to the 2028 Democratic presidential field, with a heavy focus on Kamala Harris and the likelihood of her running for president again. Clay and Buck analyze Harris’s early messaging, particularly her emphasis on identity politics and appeals to Black women as the “backbone” of the Democratic Party. The hosts argue that Harris’s strategy will center on framing herself as the rightful nominee based on race and gender, portraying resistance as discriminatory, and blaming her previous loss on being handed an impossible situation with only 107 days to campaign. They debate whether Democratic Party leadership can realistically stop Harris from winning the nomination, discussing the lack of competing candidates who could effectively challenge her base of support and how the Democratic primary calendar could determine the outcome.

Scott breaks down the raw emotion of the astronauts' homecoming and explains why winning the "war in space" is a vital signal to global competitors like China. The conversation then shifts to the heavy-hitting political landscape of the Midwest. U.S. Senate candidate Michelle Tafoya joins Scott in-studio to discuss her campaign to "right the ship" in Minnesota, tackling the state's massive fraud scandals, the "woke" educational agenda, and why 200,000 missing Republican voters are the key to a 2026 victory.

This week on Gambling Mad, the Super Bowl is treated less like a sporting event and more like a seminar on money, power, and excess. We look at Stan Kroenke's ownership, his extensive land purchases, and what all of it suggests about modern sports, real estate, and the general idea of leverage. There is also Super Bowl trivia, some of it interesting, some of it unavoidable.We then turn to the Powerball, where lottery winnings are effectively being cut in half, raising the question of whether the fantasy was ever priced correctly to begin with. On the political side, we react to Trump's comments about Norway and peace and what that kind of phrasing appears to be doing in the world. In culture, Noma comes to Los Angeles and manages to turn a bagel popup into an event, which says something about food, cities, or both. We close with Minnesota politics and Tafoya's run for office, focusing on what her campaign suggests she believes her qualifications are.
First, Mike argues that Stephen Miller's promise of "federal immunity" to ICE agents is just as reckless as Donald Trump telling Iranian protesters the U.S. is "locked and loaded"—two instances of leaders writing checks their followers' safety can't cash. Then, from the vault (2022): Michelle Tafoya explains why she traded Monday Night Football for political podcasting. She discusses her "conservative libertarian" worldview, admits she might lack the "stomach" for a Senate run, and recounts the "hideous" experience of being "ambushed" on the Dan Le Batard show.

On this “TACO Trump Thursday” episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck breaks down how market pressure forced Donald Trump to abruptly back off his Greenland threats and announce a face-saving deal—one that looks suspiciously like what already existed—underscoring how easily Trump can be manipulated and how desperate he is to cement a sense of historical relevance. Even as Republicans in Congress continue to appease him, the damage to America’s relationships with Canada and Europe is already done, and Trump’s indifference to NATO and unilateral approach ensures lasting consequences well beyond any short-term retreat. The conversation then turns to the political fallout at home: the perilous midterm landscape for Democrats, a messy Minnesota Senate race, why conventional Republicans still can’t win blue-leaning states without a net-positive environment, and how figures like Bill Cassidy may have no path forward inside today’s GOP. Chuck also digs into the Democratic Party’s looming 2028 calendar fight, arguing the DNC should rethink its early-state strategy by looking hard at Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska—and remembering that winning rural America, not just big cities, is the only way to build a durable majority. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey joins the Chuck ToddCast to discuss the unprecedented federal immigration enforcement crisis unfolding in his city as masked ICE and DHS agents have effectively occupied Minneapolis in what appears to be an operation designed more for political retribution than public safety. Frey explains the complex dynamics between city, state, and federal authority, noting that Minneapolis maintains a policy of not coordinating with federal immigration enforcement because police officers should focus on keeping communities safe rather than targeting immigrants. He reveals alarming constitutional violations, including non-white off-duty Minneapolis police officers being racially profiled and harassed by ICE agents and residents being stopped and asked for ID based on their accents. With Minneapolis already critically understaffed on police officers per capita, the massive imbalance between local law enforcement and ICE agents has created a tenuous situation where police are forced to respond to citizens being harassed while protesters exercise their First Amendment rights. The crisis has been compounded by what Frey describes as a weaponized Department of Justice that can't be trusted, evidenced by his office receiving a subpoena.The mayor emphasizes that much of the federal action stems from a fraud issue that had nothing to do with illegal immigration, yet racist attacks on the Somali community followed—despite the fact that Somalis in Minneapolis came legally as refugees and most are U.S. citizens. Frey has held discussions with Governor Tim Walz about potentially deploying the Minnesota National Guard and worries about his ability to conduct a real investigation into the shooting of Renee Good by ICE. Frey contends the operation is designed to whip the public into a frenzy rather than address genuine immigration concerns. Finally, Chuck answers listeners’ questions and explains a gripe he has with the baseball Hall of Fame. Get your wardrobe sorted and your gift list handled with Quince. Don't wait!

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's very curious defense of restricting the Second Amendment, decoy operations to lure anti-ICE protesters away from actual raids, and Tucker Carlson claiming it would be good for Iran to have nuclear weapons.First, they scratch their heads as Justice Jackson cites laws preventing black people from exercising their Second Amendment rights in the Jim Crow south as a precedent for siding with Hawaii's new, strict gun control laws. Thankfully, Justice Sam Alito was there to provide some much needed sanity.Next, they get a kick out of Blue Lives Matter claiming it ran decoy operations in nine states to draw anti-ICE demonstrators away from real enforcement actions, freeing agents to do their jobs. They also highlight 3 Martini Lunch guest Michele Tafoya announcing her bid for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota.Finally, they just shake their heads as Tucker Carlson contends that it would be good for Iran to have nuclear weapons because it could help stabilize the region, much like North Korean nukes have supposedly done in that part of the world, and that it would keep the U.S. and Israel from meddling so much in the Middle East. Jim has plenty to say about Tucker's spiraling deeper into utter nonsense.Please visit our great sponsors:Protect your family with Ethos Life Insurance — get your quote in minutes at https://Ethos.com/3MLUpgrade your wardrobe with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20.

On Wednesday, Dec. 17, Chabad rabbis lit a public menorah in Durango in response to the Sydney terror attack that killed 15 people, including their colleague Rabbi Eli Schlanger. The event was one stop on the Hanukkah in the Rockies tour, with four Chabad rabbis traveling across the Western Slope to bring the warmth and light of the celebration to mountain communities. Each menorah lighting was dedicated to the memory of those murdered in Sydney. By Sadie Smith.

Y'all... this week's episode covers everything from women's basketball drama to Algerian boxers. Joined by guest star Michele Tafoya, Mock and Daisy break down the media frenzy following WNBA stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese and lay out what their tension means for the future of the league. Tafoya also weighs in on the debate around transgender participation in women's sports. She demonstrates that speaking out against transgender rights can come with severe backlash and political controversies. Despite this, the episode calls for action on federal funding, speaking out, putting an end to victimhood, and supporting fairness in competition. 00:00 Hullabaloo in Women's Basketball 02:37 Resentment of Clark Based on Race05:02 Looking for Victimology in the World07:21 Lacking Critical Thinking in Younger Generations09:13 Transgender Problems in Sports12:35 Fear of Standing Up to Transgender Issues in Sports15:30 Leaked Medical Records of Imane Khelif16:48 President Trump's Executive Orders Against Men in Women's Sports17:18 The Future of Women's Sports Regarding Federal Funding18:41 Gavin Newsom on the Topic20:02 The Ripple Effect of Men in Women's Sports22:35 Conclusion and Michele Tafoya Socials
Former longtime NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya, now host of The Michele Tafoya Podcast, joined The Guy Benson Show today to push back on the idea that the rarity of trans athletes in women's sports justifies their inclusion, and that calling it unfair, uncompetitive, and saying that the participation is harmful to women does not make you bigoted. Tafoya also blasted Democrats like Gavin Newsom for supporting these policies and took a swipe at her home state Governor Tim Walz, mocking his "tough guy" act on behalf of Kamala Harris despite his CLEAR failure to help her win the presidency.
