It's Friday, August 14th, 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 India's March for Life draws 5,000 India's fifth National March for Life was held on August 8 and 9 in the city of Chennai, drawing a crowd of 5,000 people eager to proclaim the dignity of human life, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Cardinal Anthony Poola, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India, was present at the march and delivered a powerful pro-life address. He said, “Pro-life is the most important mission to be carried out in our dioceses, congregations and institutions. If we do not act now, we may soon be left with institutions – but without people. … Do not be afraid. The Catholic Church in India stands with you to fight for the right to life of every unborn child.” Emma Magdalene of LifeSiteNews.com added, “The number one cause of death today is not COVID, cancer, or even any war. It's abortion. The World Health Organization reports that over 73 million abortions take place globally every year. What a heartbreaking reality.” Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is Democratic presidential frontrunner Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is now the frontrunner to become the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee, according to Polymarket odds, marking the first time she has led the pack, reports The Independent. As of Wednesday evening, 21 percent of traders backed the New York leftist, who was trailed by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom at 17 percent. On rival prediction site Kalshi, the results were the same, with Ocasio-Cortez narrowly topping Newsom. Meanwhile, conventional political polls still put former Vice President Kamala Harris at the top spot, with Newsom in second, and Cortez in a distant fourth. Luigi Mangione expected to plead guilty to assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty today, August 14th, in his federal case tied to his alleged execution of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — in an apparent bid to dodge a life sentence, reports the New York Post. The 28-year-old accused killer — who is set to appear at a morning hearing in Manhattan federal court — is charged in the federal case with two counts of stalking resulting in death stemming from his alleged December 2024 cold-blooded murder of the powerful executive on a Manhattan sidewalk. Mangione would still likely face a potential life sentence if he were to plead guilty in federal court, but would hope that U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett doles out a lesser sentence. The heir of a wealthy Maryland family led authorities on a dramatic five-day manhunt before local cops in Altoona, Pennsylvania finally nabbed him while he munched on breakfast at a local McDonald's. (Look at raw bodycam footage: Scroll to the :52 mark) Prosecutors say he plotted the shocking killing to make a violent political statement, leaving behind bullet casings at the crime scene with the words “delay” and “deny” etched into them — echoing a phrase insurers allegedly use to describe dodging paying out claims. Christian weatherman's prayers on-air for safety in San Antonio And finally, San Antonio, Texas-based meteorologist Bill Taylor on KENS-5 TV, a media colleague of mine, went viral for praying live on air on July 15th for the people of the Texas Hill Country who were facing an imminent tornado on the ground. During continuous, commercial-free coverage, he said this. TAYLOR: “You look at the time of day and there are just a lot of people that would be traveling in this area, traveling to work — Saint Hedwig, China Grove, right over Highway 87, right at [Loop] 1604. A number of motorists here. “So, Lord, I pray for protection. God, your sovereignty is what we lean into in moments like this, that drivers stay aware, stay alert. That you give them wisdom. Bless these drivers with wisdom. Keep them safe. Put angels around them of protection as they travel. Thank you, Lord. We're just going to get you home safely.” Later, Taylor offered this prayer. TAYLOR: “Praying for these people in the path of this storm that Lord God, your sovereignty would be here. That You, Lord, would protect everyone in the path of this storm. That You would give wisdom and clarity for families to seek shelter. That these plans would enact now. That people would reach out to those people in this affected area to give them the warning they need. In Your holy name, protect us, Lord.” In a follow-up interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network, Bill Taylor explained what was going through his mind at the time. TAYLOR: “This could be a tornado on the ground at any second, and it was impacting a densely populated area. And knowing the sensitivity of the Hill Country flooding that took more than 100 lives a year ago, knowing how destructive a tornado can be, it just truly came out of the Holy Spirit within me to start praying in that moment for protection, for His sovereignty, for people to be clear and wise enough to seek shelter. “When we're in continuous coverage, there's no producer prompting me. There's no script in weather ever, even on a routine day. We're on our own. We're doing a PowerPoint presentation based on our slides that we put together. We're our own producers. The only time that somebody's in my ear is to tell me how much time I have left. “Well, when we have life-threatening weather, we're on till it's over. We stay on — commercial-free — until it's over. And it's on all platforms between broadcast, then our stream channel, Facebook, YouTube. “And when it happened, the Spirit of God came over me and said, ‘Pray!' Praise God that He delivered, as He always does. He's faithful, and we were protected from what could have been a lot worse.” CBN's Tré Phillips asked about what lesson Christian viewers could glean. PHILLIPS: “So, what would you say to those of us who want to be, like you were, more attuned to that still, small prompting of the Holy Spirit?” TAYLOR: “To do it. Take that step and be obedient to it, because it truly is the hands and feet, the body of Christ. You get that prompting, and when that obedience flows, this is God in action. “'Wherever two or more gather in My name, I shall be there.' (Matthew 18:20) That's why He uses us in this body of Christ, and that the Holy Spirit dwells within us to prompt us in those moments.” 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “God gave us a spirit, not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.” Send Bill Taylor a 3-sentence email to btaylor@kens5.com, thanking him for boldly praying live on the air for the safety of people in the Texas Hill Country. Or send him a physical letter. This would be a great project for your kids! Bill Taylor, KENS 5 TV, 5400 Fredericksburg Rd, San Antonio, TX 78229.

In Day 191 of The Ways of the Righteous (Gate of Fear of Heaven), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explains that while human beings are given dominion over creation, that authority carries responsibility. Animals were created to serve mankind—not because they are unimportant, but because humanity possesses something infinitely greater: an eternal soul. We are commanded to treat animals with compassion and even feed them before ourselves, yet our unique role is to elevate creation through our relationship with Hashem.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes the extraordinary greatness of the neshamah. Before birth, the soul exists in a realm of perfect spiritual clarity, but at birth it becomes enclosed within a physical body. The crying of a newborn symbolizes the soul's transition from unlimited closeness to Hashem into a world of confusion and physical limitations. Throughout life, the soul longs to return to that closeness, while the body constantly seeks physical gratification. Our task is to allow the soul—not the body—to direct our choices.Using the metaphor of a rider and a horse, Rabbi Wolbe teaches that the neshamah must hold the reins while the body serves merely as its vehicle. The body is necessary to perform mitzvot and acts of kindness, but it must remain subordinate to the soul's higher purpose. When the soul guides the body, every physical action becomes elevated into something eternal.The lesson also explores why Judaism teaches the future resurrection of the dead. Both the soul and the body contribute to a life of righteousness: the soul inspires holiness, while the body performs the mitzvot. Therefore, both ultimately share in the eternal reward when they are reunited in the World to Come.Finally, Rabbi Wolbe explains that the vast universe—the sun, moon, stars, and all of creation—exists not for the temporary body but for the eternal soul. Every aspect of creation is designed to inspire us to recognize Hashem's greatness and draw closer to Him. The purpose of enjoying this world is not indulgence but elevation: to use every blessing Hashem gives us as a means of strengthening our relationship with Him._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 14, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Dodge City, Kansas, earned its reputation as the wickedest little city in America in just a single year, back when it was still a lawless buffalo camp with no sheriff, no judge, and nothing more than a hole in the ground for a jail. In the years that followed, Texas cattle replaced the buffalo and transformed Dodge into the Queen of the Cowtowns. And the lawmen who kept a lid on the violence, like Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, went on to become some of the most famous names of the Old West. Also discussed are Dora Hand, Bill Tilghman, Clay Allison, Charlie Bassett, Ed Masterson, Luke Short, Mysterious Dave Mather, the Dodge City War, and the infamous Long Branch saloon.Wild West Quiz - https://wildwestquiz.com/ Check out the website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/ Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/ Buy Me A Coffee!  https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest Join Patreon for ad-free bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra Merch! https://wildwestextramerch.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The great thing about “art towns” is, of course, the artists who live there and their art. So why are so many art town officials deliberately and stupidly driving artists out of town?I live in such a place: Austin, Texas. For beaucoup years, it welcomed and nurtured a blessing of creators – from buskers to tap dancers, muralists to neon sign artists.Neon Signs? Yes, magical artisans who can bend glass tubes into delightful expressive shapes that light-up to identify a community and culture as something more than just another concrete-and-steel erection of corporate power. One such creative is Todd Sanders, an Austin pop artist who for three decades has preserved and advanced this eclectic community's proud claim to be “Keeping Austin Weird.”I was personally plugged into that identity when Susan DeMarco, Floyd Domino, and I broadcast a two-hour daily radio talk-show across America from a down-home Austin restaurant named Threadgill's. Behind us on the stage, was a Todd Sanders gem – a 3x5 foot neon sign, flashing “Hightower Radio… On the Air.”But multimillion-dollar developers – backed by a city council now promoting Austin as a mecca for high-tech billionaires – have no room for funky grassroots “weirdness.” They've jacked-up city property taxes and artists rents in a corporate gentrification frenzy that has squeezed Sanders' neon shop and others out of Austin. The good news is that art perseveres, so Sanders' studio and art gallery found a welcoming spot 80 miles east of us in the small town of Round Top.But Round Top artisans will be next if we keep letting profiteers, with no values beyond money, define who we are, restricting who we can become.Do something!When we had an office in east Austin, we shared it with Austin Creative Alliance—check them out to help keep Austin's arts scene thriving.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

In February 1946, thirty-four-year-old World War II veteran Jacob Rubenstein stepped off the train onto the freezing platforms of Chicago, carrying a good conduct medal on his chest and hoping his honorable service had finally cleansed him of his chaotic childhood. Instead, his return plunged him straight into a toxic family business feud. Joining forces with his brothers Sam, Earl, and Hyman at Earl Products, Jacob took charge of sales for their lucrative gray-market punchboard operation. But his volatile temper, refusal to travel to secure regional accounts, and constant screaming matches with his brothers soon pushed the partnership to its absolute breaking point, ending in a cold, transactional $14,000 cash buyout that cast Jacob out of the family fold once again.Devastated by the family rejection, Jacob drifted back onto the Chicago streets, his nerves frayed and his hair-trigger temper balanced on a razor's edge. His fierce sensitivity to anti-semitism remained completely unchanged by his years in uniform. In late 1946, a downtown street confrontation with a stranger who hurled a bigoted slur erupted into a savage daylight brawl. Jacob returned home hours later, his hands swollen and raw, and his expensive tailored suit completely drenched in blood. It was a violent warning sign that the pavement of his youth was offering nothing but reminders of his own failures, and Chicago was rapidly becoming too small for a man drowning in his own violent impulses.Jacob's escape hatch came from his closest sibling, his sister Eva Grant, who had moved to the booming, wide-open city of Dallas, Texas, to open the Singapore Supper Club. Divorced, broke, and struggling with construction delays, Eva desperately needed capital and family muscle to manage the rough-and-tumble Dallas scene. Backed by his buyout cash and additional family financing, Jacob packed his bags in late 1947 and headed south into a massive cultural shock. He entered an oil-rich city trying to project an image of clean, white, Protestant conservative sophistication—a place deeply suspicious of outsiders, especially Jewish Yankees from Chicago.To survive and thrive in the cutthroat Texas nightlife, Jacob made a drastic, identity-altering decision. On December 30, 1947, he formally petitioned a Dallas court to legally kill Jacob Rubenstein and birth a brand-new man: Jack Leon Ruby. Yet, even as he shed his skin to appease Texas prejudices, he refused to let go of his past. By choosing the middle name Leon, Jack carried a silent, lifelong tribute to his murdered Chicago union mentor, Leon Cook. Equipped with a new name, a flashy Texas suit, and a pocketful of cash, Jack Ruby was ready to conquer the Dallas night—but the volatile, quick-tempered brawler of Morgan Street was still lurking just beneath the surface.

Summary A $30 campsite with a canyon view felt like hitting the jackpot… until Jeff flipped on the lights and watched the floor move. In part five of the DadAwesome Multipliers series, Jeff reads Chapter 19 of the book, "Ant Attack," and unpacks what a million ants taught him about spotting threats, sealing entry points, and cleaning up what already got inside. Then Zach Neese joins with a sobering four minutes on the doorways we open without realizing it, and why nobody else in this world is going to guard your house but you. Heads up: this episode is not designed for little ears. The conversation goes into spiritual warfare, darkness, and the ways private choices affect the people we love most. Top 5 Takeaways The first few ants are scouts, not the problem. Train yourself to look past what's obvious and ask harder questions about attitudes, friend groups, and entertainment choices before they become a full scale invasion. Real freedom propels you to lead. Freedom is not permission to do whatever you want. Healing, forgiveness, and wholeness are what unlock your ability to serve and protect the people God gave you. Threats come through old bridges and new ones. The septic hose was modern convenience turned against them. The tree branches were nature's ancient highway. The tactics evolve, but the goal stays the same. Sealing the doors is not enough. You have to deal with what already got inside, and then intentionally replace it with something life giving. Removing the threat is not the same as restoration. Nobody else in this world is going to guard your house but you. Not schools, not church, not extended family. The assignment is yours, and it takes courage plus God's strength. 5 Quotes "Real freedom propels us to lead. That healing, forgiveness, and wholeness unlock our ability to serve and love the way God designed." (Jeff Zaugg) "A dad fighting his own addiction can't guard his family's doorways. A father still carrying his childhood anger can't see the real threats to his kids." (Jeff Zaugg) "Every open door is a spiritual gateway." (Zach Neese) "We give him permission all the time to rearrange the furniture, so to speak, in our hearts and our house, so that he is the only spirit that feels welcome here." (Zach Neese) "I wasn't just being entertained by a movie. I was being entertained by the spirit behind the movie. And that spirit wasn't just in my closet. That was roving through my house." (Zach Neese)   Guest Bio Zach Neese is a pastor, worship leader, and author who has spent years teaching on worship, spiritual authority, and the doorways we open in our homes. His conversation with Jeff first aired on DadAwesome episode 159, and the clip featured in this episode digs into how entertainment choices, conflict patterns, and private habits can invite influences we never intended to host.

**Jeep Talk Show – Tire Tread Depth Reality Check + How to Properly Tow Your Jeep (XJ, JK, JL, JT & Gladiator)** Tony and Josh are back with another no-BS episode. We start by correcting the record on tire tread depth after some listener pushback, then dig deep into the right (and wrong) ways to tow a Jeep so you don't melt your transfer case or destroy your drivetrain. After that Tony shows off a pile of new website tools he's built for the community — Jeep of the Week, networked show timer, JTS Honor Badge generator, live chat, Best Of archive, Discord discount codes, and more. ### Timestamps 00:00 Intro Banter and Show Opening 00:27 Tire Tread Depth Standards and Safety Discussion 05:17 Towing an XJ Jeep: Methods and Considerations 11:13 Flat Towing Options for Various Jeep Models 12:30 Setting Transfer Case and Transmission for Safe Towing 14:47 Essential Pre‑Tow Checks: Steering, Parking Brake, and Lockers 15:40 Foot Brake and Driver Position Safety Tips 16:18 Flat‑Towing Setup: Parking Brake, Lockers, and Dolly Use 18:27 Hybrid Towing Options and Cost Considerations 19:56 Gladiator Towing Cherokee: Capacity and Gear Planning 20:40 Show Timer Integration and Remote Recording Setup 22:06 Show Timer Feature Overview and Segment Selection 23:15 Launch of "Jeep of the Week" Feature and Community Engagement 26:03 Jeep of the Week with Video Voicemail: Listener Participation 27:38 Reviving the "You Bought and What?" Affiliate Segment 30:01 Planning the Return of the Affiliate Segment 31:07 Unified Jeep Talk Show Chat and Boss‑Key Feature 34:24 Introducing Custom JTS Honor Badges 37:07 Best‑of Episodes and Review System Launch 41:53 Contact Page, Discount Bot, and Community Outreach 43:16 Discord Discount System for Members 44:21 Call to Action, Social Media Promotion, and Legal Disclaimer ### Key Takeaways - Legal minimum tread in most U.S. states (including Texas) is **2/32"**. The widely recommended replacement point for everyday/wet driving is **4/32"**. Many shops and safety groups push 5–6/32" for trucks, SUVs, and wet/snow climates. - Safest way to tow any Jeep (TJ/YJ/JK/JL/JT/Gladiator): all four wheels off the ground (flatbed or wheel-lift + front dolly).   - Minimum setup if you must two-wheel tow: transfer case in Neutral, automatic transmission in Park (or manual in gear), steering unlocked, parking brake off, lockers unlocked. For longer distances, remove driveshafts. - Atlas transfer cases have distance limits when flat-towed — pull the shafts if you're going far. ### Calls to Action Submit your ride for **Jeep of the Week**: jeeptalkshow.com (Listener Jeeps link in the top menu)   Join the Discord & grab discount codes: jeeptalkshow.com/discord (type `/discount`)   Best Of archive (top 50 episodes ranked by downloads): on the website   Create your own JTS Honor Badge and drop it in the gallery   Leave a 5-star rating & review on YouTube, Spotify, or your podcast app   Questions or episode ideas? jeeptalkshow.com/contact   Support the show on Patreon for exclusive perks: jeeptalkshow.com/contact   --- **Support the Show & Shop Jeep Gear** Thank you for watching and listening!

Last time we learned about software engineer Alex Ticer’s terrifying health crisis and the healing he received. This set him on a quest to dedicate his life to serving God, but how? He had no idea what he was supposed to do. So, he quit his job and intensified his study of the Bible and praying. After discovering Jesus’s identity as the human Messiah (not a Godman), he embarked on a journey to find others with like precious faith. His odyssey took him to three states, seeking fellowship. Finally, at the Converge Festival of 2025, he and his wife Becky came to perceive God’s direction for them to start a church right where they lived in Round Rock, Texas. This is the story of how One God Church came about.   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— Learn more about Alex Ticer at his One God Church website Check out the message Sean gave at Converge that inspired Alex: 614.

In this episode of the Independent Dealer Podcast, Jeff Watson and Luke Godwin check in with Garrett Jones of Ella Boulevard Motors in Houston, Texas — a second-generation dealer who took over a 1940s gas station doing 8 to 10 cars a month and has quietly grown it to 300-plus accounts while navigating a DMS switch, a new payment processor, a building remodel, a reinsurance upgrade, and an RFC — all in roughly the same 18-month window. This is what growing pains actually look like when a dealer is doing it right.What You'll Learn:Why Garrett switched from a Texas-based DMS he'd used for years to Automasters — and what finally pushed him over the edge after fighting the decision for monthsHow a $15,000 exterior remodel on a 1940s inner-city Houston gas station changed the way customers showed up — and why BHPH buyers care more about a clean, welcoming lot than most dealers thinkWhy Garrett launched an RFC despite Luke telling him not to — and the honest conversation about when kicking the tax can down the road makes sense and when it doesn'tHow Garrett manages a 15 to 18 percent leverage ratio on a real estate-backed line of credit — and why the type of line you have completely changes how aggressively you should use itWhy Garrett keeps his ACV under $6,500, targets Toyotas, Hondas, and Fords at 130,000 miles, and averages $1,900 to $2,000 in down payments — and why discipline on those numbers is what funds the reinsurance accountThe threshold Luke says every buy here pay here dealer needs to hit before they stop owning a job and start owning a business — and why 40 to 50 sales a month or 500 accounts is the number that changes everythingWhy Garrett went from a 3-and-3 warranty to a 6-and-6 — and the honest debate about whether a 12-and-12 or 24-and-24 makes sense when your ACV is under $6,000If you are a buy here pay here dealer in the thick of modernizing your operation — new systems, new vendors, new growth targets, and not enough cash flow to do all of it at once — Garrett's story is the most honest version of what that actually looks like from the inside.Support the businesses that support the podcast:Buckeye Risk Services - Reinsurance and wealth strategies for independent dealers.https://theindependentdealer.com/buckeyeBlytz - BHPH payment processing with fast funding and text-to-pay.https://theindependentdealer.com/blytzpayIturan GPS - Asset protection and customer management for BHPH and retail dealers.https://theindependentdealer.com/ituranFollow & Connect:Website: www.theindependentdealer.comFacebook Group: @independentautogroupLuke Godwin: @lukegodwinJeff Watson: /sendtojeffwLike, subscribe, and share this with a dealer who needs to hear it.

In this episode, Dr. Gladden speaks with Dr. Hany Demian about the shift from reactive medicine to prevention, personalization, and longevity-focused care. Dr. Hany shares how his journey through breast surgery, emergency medicine, and chronic pain management led him to a more systems-based approach to health, aging, and healing. They discuss why aging may be better understood as a condition, how patient empowerment changes outcomes, and why nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and individualized care matter as much as diagnostics and therapies.

In Day 190 of The Ways of the Righteous (Gate of Fear of Heaven), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues exploring the three dimensions of the human soul: the nefesh, ruach, and neshamah. While animals possess the drives of the nefesh and ruach, only human beings are endowed with the neshamah—the uniquely Divine intellect that enables us to discern truth from falsehood, develop wisdom, and elevate ourselves spiritually. Unlike the physical body, the wisdom acquired by the neshamah accompanies a person beyond this world.The central message of the lesson is that our lives are shaped by whichever part of ourselves we choose to nourish. Rabbi Wolbe compares the neshamah to a vacuum cleaner that is constantly searching to be filled. If we fail to satisfy it with holiness, Torah, mitzvot, and acts of kindness, it will desperately seek fulfillment elsewhere through material pursuits that can never truly satisfy. Wealth, pleasure, fame, and possessions may entertain the body, but only closeness to Hashem nourishes the soul.Rabbi Wolbe also explains that although the neshamah originates in the intellect, its goal is to transform the heart. The heart is the source of both positive and negative inclinations, and every person chooses which side to strengthen. By allowing the mind and the neshamah to guide the heart, a person redirects powerful emotions and desires toward holiness rather than selfish gratification. The same passion that can drive destructive behavior can also become the engine for tremendous righteousness.Finally, the lesson teaches that wisdom is the key to understanding both the physical and spiritual worlds. Torah enables a person to distinguish between what merely appears attractive and what genuinely brings eternal value. Every advancement, talent, and technology can be used either for holiness or for destruction. The responsibility lies with us to allow our neshamah to lead our choices so that, when we ultimately stand before Hashem, we can answer that we invested our lives in what truly mattered._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 13, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In 1956, a group of Texas ranchers decided the training their kids needed didn't exist yet—so they built it themselves, and it's still running. Lee Knox, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Professor in Ranch Management at Texas Christian University, describes TCU's nine-month, 35-credit certificate program that packs soil and forage management, animal husbandry, business, and marketing into a single intense year, backed by 1,200-plus alumni who host field trips, mentor students, and post job openings. Lee also reflects on a career spanning extension work, two decades with NRCS, and a lifetime of running cattle on leased ground—including why the return of fire to the Southern Plains is a backhanded compliment to better grazing management, and how hunting revenue brought Texas landowners and wildlife groups to the same side of the table. The Art of Range is supported by RanchBot and the Western Extension Risk Management Education Center. Music by Lewis Roise.

Why do we roll our eyes when someone says they're starting another podcast?We don't do that when someone creates an Instagram account, starts a Facebook page, or joins another social platform. At some point, social media simply became a platform that everyone could use to share something.Podcasting is the same thing.You don't have to be trying to become the next Joe Rogan. You don't have to have millions of listeners. A podcast is simply a platform that gives you the ability to communicate your ideas, tell stories, build a community and get your message across in a way that social media often can't.I also get into some big things happening in country music, including Ella Langley hitting another major milestone with "Choosin' Texas" and the latest conversation surrounding Kellie Pickler getting back into country music and her songwriting connections to some of the genre's biggest names. Langley's "Choosin' Texas" was recently reported at No. 1 for 14 consecutive weeks. Pickler has also been making a gradual return to the spotlight and country music, including her 2026 American Idol appearance. Podcasting isn't "another podcast." It's another platform. And maybe that's exactly the point.

En 1900, un huracán devastador golpeó la ciudad de Galveston, en Texas, cobrando miles de vidas porque las advertencias meteorológicas de la época resultaron completamente insuficientes. El meteorólogo Isaac Cline sobrevivió a la tragedia y dedicó el resto de toda su carrera a mejorar los sistemas de alerta temprana, salvando así incontables vidas en tormentas posteriores. Dios puede transformar incluso la peor experiencia en una fuente de sabiduría duradera para el futuro. El Señor Jesús habló del grano de trigo que debe caer a tierra para dar mucho fruto, enseñando que el quebranto no siempre es el final, sino a veces el principio de algo mucho mayor. Quizá atravesaste una tormenta devastadora en el pasado y todavía te preguntas qué sentido tuvo realmente todo aquello. Dios no desperdicia el dolor vivido; con frecuencia lo convierte en la sabiduría exacta que protege a otros más adelante en su propio camino personal. Del quebranto también nace la sabiduría que protege. La Biblia dice en Salmos 107:29: "Cambia la tempestad en sosiego, y se apaciguan sus ondas". (RV1960).

As the sun slowly rose over the Rio Grande on September 15, 1891, Catarino Erasmo Garza stood on the Texas side of the border holding in his hands two objects that would come to define his life: a Winchester rifle and a revolutionary proclamation. For years Garza had fought the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz through his many newspapers and publications. Now he announced that he was laying down the pen and taking up arms. In the opening lines of his manifesto, he declared:"The last of the independent journalists today abandons the pen to seize the sword in defense of the people's rights."His proclamation denounced the destruction of the free press, political murder, fraudulent elections, and the concentration of land and power, while calling for constitutional government, free trade, and land reform in Mexico. Nearly twenty years before Francisco Madero launched the movement that became the Mexican Revolution, Garza had already identified the grievances that would eventually bring down the Díaz regime.Today, Garza remains largely absent from popular memory. His name never appears alongside revolutionary icons like Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, or Francisco Madero, despite the fact that he articulated many of the democratic demands later associated with the Mexican Revolution. This is a shame, because Garza was more than a revolutionary soldier. He was an influential journalist, an international activist, and the likely publisher of El Chicano, a Spanish-language newspaper in San Antonio that may represent the earliest known printed use of the word Chicano as a positive political identity. Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catarino_Garzahttps://filmotropo.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/catarino-erasmo-garza-and-el-chicano/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garza_Revolutionhttps://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/garza-warhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jul/17/mexico-catarino-erasmo-garza-disappearedhttps://www.tshaonline.org/texas-day-by-day/entry/391listener comments?

Joel Skousen has spent nearly five decades helping people answer one question: where should you live when the systems around you start to fail? This talk has never been available publicly. Joel delivered it at Exit & Build 2, and we're releasing it now for the first time. In it he walks through the core of his life's work: Strategic relocation and how to evaluate where you live right now. Population density, prevailing winds, nuclear and military target proximity, water access, growing season, state law, and the neighbors you'd actually be depending on. Joel breaks down why he looks west of the Mississippi, which states he's changed his mind about, and the mistakes people make when they relocate for the wrong reasons. Home and retreat security. Joel is an architect who's designed high security residences across North America, Canada, and Latin America. He gets into secure room design, EMP-protected power, water and food storage, and what actually holds up versus what just feels safe. And the honest assessment of the threats. Grid failure, EMP, economic collapse, war, and the long-term consolidation of surveillance and control. Joel doesn't sugarcoat any of it, and he'll tell you why he refuses to. His view is that optimism is what keeps people from preparing. About Joel Skousen Former Navy and Marine Corps fighter pilot turned architect. He began writing The Secure Home in 1979, making him one of the genuine pioneers of the modern preparedness movement. He's the author of Strategic Relocation: North American Guide to Safe Places, still the definitive reference on threat-based relocation, and co-author of The High Security Shelter Book with his son, a structural engineer. He has published the World Affairs Brief every week for decades. Joel is speaking at Exit & Build 6 We just announced it. Joel is joining us in person at Exit & Build 6, November 5 through 8, 2026, at Sovereignty Ranch in Bandera, Texas. He's giving a full talk plus a hands-on workshop, going deeper than he could in the time he had here.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Japanese America! In Season 3, Episode 7, we step directly into one of the most monumental, legally complex, and deeply emotional chapters in our community's history: the fight for Japanese American Redress. While most people think of Redress in terms of the landmark Civil Liberties Act of 1988 and the 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into domestic concentration camps, there is a massive parallel story of international kidnapping and legal limbo that took decades to bring to light. In this episode, we explore the extraordinary narrative of Japanese Latin American (JLA) deportees. Through the rare, deeply personal oral histories of the three Naganuma Brothers—Jimmy, George Kazuharu, and Kazumu Julio Cesar—we trace a family's journey from a thriving life in Callao, Peru, to being abducted by the U.S. military, fumigated with DDT upon arrival in New Orleans, and incarcerated at the Department of Justice internment camp in Crystal City, Texas. We examine their multi-decade battle for basic legal status after being classified as "illegal entrants," and highlight the fierce advocacy of their sister Kiyo, whose bold confrontation with U.S. officials made her siblings some of the few Japanese Peruvians to receive the full $20,000 Redress settlement. Koji also shares his own personal connection to Crystal City, where his family was incarcerated after his grandfather gave up his citizenship, illustrating the diverse and irony-filled nature of that campLinks & Resources MentionedDiscover Nikkei & Densho Partnership: Listen to the full oral histories and read the complete transcripts for Jimmy Naganuma (https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/927/), George Naganuma (https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/928/), and Kazumu Julio Cesar Naganuma (https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/927/)Learn More: Visit the Japanese American National Museum (JANM.org) for exhibitions, history, and community resources.Follow & Support UsEnjoyed the episode?  Don't forget to rate, review, and tell a friend! CreditsThe music was created by Jalen BlankWritten by Koji Steven SakaiHosts: Michelle Malazaki and Koji Steven SakaiEdited by Koji Steven SakaiProduced by Koji Steven Sakai in conjunction with the Japanese American National MuseumSupport the show

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Bobby from TEXITcoin, a man who has been manufacturing gold and silver coins since 2008, created the original physical Bitcoin coin in 2012, and testified before US Congress on crypto before most people had ever heard of it. In this episode, Bobby shares why he believes Bitcoin lost its original mission as peer-to-peer digital cash and became digital gold instead, and what he is doing about it. We dig into how he crowdfunded a community mining operation in his Texas garage, how TEXITcoin became the tenth largest Litecoin and Doge miner on the planet through merge mining, and why he is now building NectarPay, a zero-fee payment terminal network to get crypto accepted at real businesses. We also get into the big picture: the US dollar at 40 trillion in debt, Keynesian versus Austrian economics, Bitcoin retail adoption at a nine-year low, and what a Texas state securities case means for the future of TEXITcoin. This is one of the most grounded, no-nonsense conversations I have had about where honest money stands today and what it will take to get it into everyday hands.

The situation surrounding the purported “fake deed” to Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch grew out of confusion and questionable documentation surrounding the ownership history of the sprawling New Mexico property. Epstein controlled the ranch through the Zorro Trust, a structure dating to the 1990s, and public land records show that he used trusts and affiliated entities to handle various property rights connected to the estate. At some point, a document circulated or surfaced purporting to transfer an interest in the ranch, but questions were raised about whether the deed was authentic, legally valid, or actually reflected a legitimate change in ownership. That uncertainty was significant because Zorro Ranch had become one of the most important locations in the broader Epstein investigation, with survivors and federal records connecting the property to alleged sexual abuse and trafficking activity. The ranch was ultimately sold by Epstein's estate in 2023 to San Rafael Ranch LLC, associated with the family of Texas businessman and political figure Don Huffines, and renamed San Rafael Ranch. Public reporting and official records support that transaction, rather than the questionable deed that had generated speculation about who actually controlled the property.The episode illustrated the larger problem surrounding Epstein's financial and property empire: complicated trusts, corporations, transfers and incomplete public records repeatedly made it difficult to determine exactly who owned what and when. That complexity became particularly important after Epstein's death because investigators, journalists and survivors were attempting to trace assets and determine whether property or wealth had been transferred beyond the reach of potential claims. There is no credible evidence that an obviously fraudulent deed successfully stripped the Epstein estate of Zorro Ranch or legitimately transferred the ranch to some mystery owner; the documented ownership chain ultimately led from Epstein's estate to the 2023 purchaser. What the controversy did demonstrate was how easily questionable paperwork could generate confusion around a property already surrounded by extraordinary secrecy. That secrecy remains consequential because New Mexico investigators are still examining activity at Zorro Ranch, and the state has recently accused the Justice Department of withholding information that could identify additional victims, witnesses or participants connected to what happened there.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Calling the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz “a wall of steel,” President Donald Trump says the U.S. is in total control. Why Iran disputes that and claims it is still closed.  Plus, an Apache helicopter crashes near Fort Hood, Texas, killing two soldiers and sparking a major fire. An investigation looks to determine why the so-called “most advanced aerial fighting vehicle in the world” went down.  And the White House press secretary says she's leaving the administration. The key reason Karoline Leavitt is headed home at the end of the month. 

Tell us what you think of the show! It's been a rough summer for soft serve ice cream cone enthusiasts. In most parts of the United States, hot and humid weather has visited and overstayed its welcome, which is no treat for the power grid, either. Elevated temperatures mean increased electricity consumption and accompanying higher prices, the cherry on top amidst a nationwide surge in demand fueled by data centers, manufacturing, and mass electrification.So far, we've seen grid operators issue a few alerts and calls for conservation, particularly in constrained PJM Interconnection territory, where emergency conservation measures kept electricity demand ​from eclipsing an all-time high set in 2006. Down in Texas, the record book is being rewritten this summer. ERCOT has shattered its all-time demand mark more than once, but has also thus far kept power prices reasonable by leveraging an influx of renewables and battery energy storage to break generation records, too.In general, serving peak demand is extremely expensive, and the peakier the system, the pricier it is for the average ratepayer. As most of the country copes with higher electricity bills, finding ways to curb costs is paramount. Thankfully, utilities have a variety of tools at their disposal to improve grid utilization and peak load management, including flexible home electrical equipment, smart electric vehicle charging, and managing distributed energy resources through virtual power plants. And since transmission and distribution system infrastructure is designed to accommodate the few hours of the year when the system is taken to its limits, there is almost always spare capacity on power lines, which can be leveraged via advanced transmission technologies, as we discussed in the previous episode of the Factor This Policycast.This edition of the podcast, presented in partnership with Advanced Energy United, explores demand-side solutions for surviving summer peaks. Host Paul Gerke leads a discussion highlighting the tools available to keep the lights on and bills manageable, and how utilities can use them to get more out of our existing grid without investing in costly, time-consuming infrastructure upgrades. Richard Caperton, vice president for public policy at SPAN, and Sarah Steinberg, managing director at Advanced Energy United, outline the metrics that matter, share how early legislation is leaning, and explain why demand-side solutions work for utilities.Energy policy on your mind?

Today on The Treehouse Show, we've got a couple of Reddit relationship disasters that raise some serious questions about what your significant other really needs to know about your past.First, a woman thinks her boyfriend is probably going to leave her after she got drunk and admitted to a co-worker that she once got pregnant after hooking up with a guy on the bathroom floor of a club. Her boyfriend heard the confession, and now she's wondering if she just destroyed her relationship. Is he overreacting—or did she reveal something he has every right to care about?Then we've got a wife who's furious after finding out her husband slept with his sister. Before you call the police, there's a catch—and somehow we're actually siding with the husband on this one.Celebrity birthdays take us down another rabbit hole as we talk Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, Hollywood backend points, and how some actors can make an absolute fortune after a movie leaves theaters.Plus, Trey explains why he thinks the all-female fight scene in Avengers: Endgame was completely unnecessary, and somehow we wind up remembering the classic TV series Emergency!Reddit relationship drama, Marvel arguments, Hollywood money, and old-school television.

This week on the Bourbon Bytes podcast, Buffalo Trace has one of the most talked-about releases of the year on the way — and I finally got my hands on a Weller bottle I've somehow never reviewed. Garrison Brothers kicks things off with its 2026 Cowboy Bourbon, an 8+ year Texas bourbon bottled at a massive 141 proof, along with the first cask-strength single-barrel version of Laguna Madre. Then Buffalo Trace brings the heat with the Elmer T. Lee 40th Anniversary Cask Strength, an uncut and unfiltered 127.8-proof release using Mash Bill #2 — putting it in very rare company alongside Blanton's Straight From the Barrel. Jameson is also expanding its U.S. lineup with Distiller's Batch, matured across five different oak types and arriving this September. And because Bourbon Bytes is whiskey news with a gaming twist, I'm also running through some of the biggest August game releases, including Big Walk, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on Switch 2, Grounded 2, and the very Star Fox-inspired Wild Blue Skies. Then it's time for a Byte-Sized Review of Weller Single Barrel Bourbon — the elusive orange-label Weller. I finally found one at retail for about $69. At 97 proof, this single-barrel wheated bourbon surprised me with considerably more oak than expected, plus honey-coated oatmeal, vanilla, dried fruit, caramel, brown sugar, and a profile that reminded me of an older, proofed-down Weller Antique 107. But rarity doesn't automatically make a whiskey worth chasing.

On November 7, 2013, 28-year-old physical therapist Alfred Wright experienced car trouble along a rural highway near Hemphill, Texas. While waiting for his parents to pick him up, Alfred suddenly ran from the area. During his final phone call, his wife said he sounded distressed.His clothing and personal belongings were later discovered scattered across the surrounding countryside—but the official search ended without finding him. Eighteen days after Alfred disappeared, his family organized another search and found his body in the same general area authorities had already searched.The official autopsy concluded that Alfred died accidentally from combined drug intoxication. Investigators uncovered toxicology evidence and messages connecting him to a cocaine supplier. Alfred's family, however, questioned the search, the condition of his body, and whether the official conclusion explained everything that happened.In this episode of Murder in the Black, Steph examines the documented evidence, the Wright family's concerns, the region's racial history, and the rumors that have complicated Alfred's story.What happened between the moment Alfred ran from that store and the moment he died in the East Texas woods?Follow Murder in the Black and join the conversation.Content warning: This episode discusses drug use, decomposition, postmortem injuries, racism, and disturbing descriptions of human remains.

Send us Fan MailMcBee Dynasty Steven Jr. Is Leaving the Farm?!McBee Dynasty S3 E9 Banks Babies and Bad BloodThis week on McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, the McBee family is hit with major relationship and family bombshells. Kacie discovers that she is definitely pregnant, turning Cole's birthday celebration into an unforgettable announcement when she gives him the positive pregnancy test as his gift. Cole admits he had hoped they would wait a little longer, but the news is ultimately welcomed. Meanwhile, the family finally learns that Cole and Kristi secretly got married in Las Vegas, with Kristi initially looking completely stunned before happily embracing the news. With Steven Sr. still away, the family begins talking about planning a proper reception, and Tessa's excitement about being included in these McBee family milestones is absolutely adorable.Steven Jr. and Alli's whirlwind relationship takes another turn as Alli decides to move back to Texas with her sister to create some much-needed space. After spending far more time together than either expected, Alli admits that everything has moved incredibly fast and that she needs time to process the relationship and get to know Steven Jr. better. Steven Jr. realizes that he may have moved too quickly and admits that choosing his personal life over the family farm is something he needs to do for himself. He begins seriously considering moving to Texas for half the year and even talks about getting married and establishing a life with Alli there. The rest of the family supports his desire to be happy, but with the McBee operation already undergoing major changes, the timing could not be worse.And then comes the bombshell that could change everything: the bank is pulling the loan on Steven Jr.'s house, leaving the McBees facing a massive financial problem because they don't have the money to pay it off in full. At the same time, Steven Jr. announces that he is likely leaving the farm, forcing Cole to consider stepping into a larger role. Jesse is making changes to the farmhouse to make Alli more comfortable, while the family is also trying to move forward with their cattle plans, including the new mini Highland calves and an embryo transfer in freezing, snowy conditions. Jake, meanwhile, is shopping for an engagement ring for Tegan, although Steven Jr. manages to hijack the appointment before ultimately deciding to wait. With a pregnancy, a secret wedding, a possible Texas move, shifting farm responsibilities and a financial crisis all happening at once, the McBees are heading into the season finale with plenty of unfinished business and some very bad blood.Domestic Violence Resources:https://www.thehotline.org/https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/domestic-violence/https://nrcdv.org/ Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/ 

Texas Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian joins Kirk Offel for a wide-ranging conversation about the infrastructure required to support America's accelerating demand for artificial intelligence.They explore Texas' energy advantage, grid reliability, natural gas generation, the potential reuse of produced water for data center cooling, and the role data centers could play in rebuilding rural communities. Commissioner Christian shares examples of how major infrastructure investments can generate property-tax revenue, create local career paths, and allow families to remain in the towns they call home.Kirk and Commissioner Christian also discuss community opposition, responsible site selection, industry communication failures, workforce development, and why developers must speak directly with the people affected by these projects—not simply arrive with polished presentations.At the center of the conversation is a critical question: Can Texas create a model for data center growth that strengthens the grid, protects communities, expands opportunity, and helps secure America's position in the global AI race?For more about us: https://weareoverwatch.com/data-center-revolution-podcast/For guest inquiries reach out to: podcasts@weareoverwatch.com

Skyways has spent nearly a decade working on a problem most of the drone industry largely ignored: logistics. While billions poured into drones built to see targets or strike them, Skyways focused on something less flashy but arguably just as important: moving critical supplies without putting people in harm's way. That bet is starting to look increasingly prescient. The company has worked with the U.S. military since its earliest days and is now building its V3 aircraft to carry 100 pounds of payload up to 1,000 nautical miles. The longer-term ambition is much bigger: use defense to mature autonomous aviation, build a global logistics network, and eventually prove the technology required to carry people. Skyways' Chief Strategy Officer Isaac Roberts joins Valley of Depth from the company's Austin factory to unpack why autonomous logistics could become one of the biggest markets in drones, how the war in Ukraine has accelerated the entire industry, and why the FAA may be the biggest obstacle standing between today's cargo drones and autonomous aviation at scale. We also cover: Why logistics became Skyways' wedge into the Department of Defense How Skyways beat Boeing and Shield AI in military competitions Why the company believes defense is the proving ground, but commercial logistics is the much larger opportunity Why the FAA is holding back commercial drone adoption in the U.S. How Skyways plans to turn aircraft sales into a high-utilization “flight-as-a-service” network What separates real drone companies from the hype in aerospace • Chapters • 00:00 – Trailer 00:48 – Skyways factory floor 01:08 – America, French, and Texas flags 02:16 – The problem Skyways is trying to solve 03:49 – The logistics problem 09:05 – Companies Skyways competes with 11:45 – How Skyways beat out Boeing 13:18 – Will Skyways ever transport people? 15:56 – Why focus on cargo over kinetic systems? 18:35 – How has Ukraine changed the nature of drone warfare? 22:58 – Skyhook 25:34 – Where is the FAA a blocker? 28:40 – Defense contract traction 29:34 – Direct competitors in their contracts 30:28 – Is Isaac worried about Anduril competing with them? 34:06 – Current economics for the v3 36:00 – Hype and BS 37:52 – How to get to ground truth with tech 39:41 – Funding and next phase of growth 40:35 – How is Skyways structurally different than other defense companies? 41:52 – How Isaac got to Skyways 43:29 – Rocky moments at Skyways 44:27 – The FAA unlock for the industry 50:38 – What keeps Isaac up at night? 52:37 – What Mo and Isaac do for fun   • Show notes • Footage courtesy of Skyways Skyways' website — https://www.skyways.com/ Skyways' socials — https://x.com/skyways Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/   • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies reshaping industry, national security, and the global balance of power.

In this episode, ATPE offers educators a fresh, revolutionary lens for the classroom. Traditional lessons on the American Revolution focus on the 13 colonies, but a vital effort in the war for independence was thriving right here in Texas. This war effort relied upon the leadership of women ranchers in Spanish Texas. This special episode of The ATPE Podcast uncovers the untold stories of the rancheras, who commanded vast cattle networks that fueled the war effort and were the unsung power brokers of the frontier. Our guest, Dr. Erika Arredondo-Haskins, is a 12th-generation Texan, historian, educator, and exhibit curator. She currently teaches Religious Studies at the University of Incarnate Word. Appointed by Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai, Dr. Haskins is a member of the Bexar County Historical Commission. She is a scholar of women and young women's leadership and early Texas history. Please note: If you are an ATPE member, you may log in to the ATPE Professional Learning Portal to watch a one-hour video version of this podcast and earn one hour of continuing professional education (CPE) credit, as well as access a comprehensive list of resources provided by Dr. Haskins.

Para tranquilidad de los más puristas, no vamos a hablar de silenciosos coches eléctricos ni de eficientes y pesadas baterías. Quizás el AC Cobra sea el mejor "híbrido" que jamás haya visto la industria del automóvil. Fue una de las ideas más magistrales, salvajes y revolucionarias de todos los tiempos. Este mítico vehículo es el resultado de la brillante visión de Carroll Shelby, quien decidió cruzar la agilidad y ligereza extrema de un delicado chasis británico con la fuerza bruta y el empuje de un motor V8 norteamericano, reuniendo lo mejor de dos mundos diametralmente opuestos en un solo coche de ensueño. El cerebro detrás de este imponente deportivo pertenecía a uno de los hombres más astutos, irreverentes y testarudos de la historia del automovilismo: Carroll Hall Shelby. Nacido en 1923 en Leesburg, una pequeña y polvorienta localidad del estado de Texas, Shelby estaba muy lejos del clásico estereotipo de ingeniero de guante blanco o de aristócrata europeo que competía apoyado en una gran fortuna. Era un humilde criador de pollos que se arruinó de la noche a la mañana cuando una feroz epidemia de la enfermedad de Newcastle aniquiló todas sus aves. Esa asfixiante ruina económica, combinada con su enorme pasión por la velocidad, lo empujó a las carreras bastante tarde. Su leyenda se forjó cuando, al llegar con retraso a su primera competición, tuvo que correr al volante con su sucio peto a rayas típico de granjero tejano. Ganó con una superioridad tan insultante que convirtió ese peculiar mono de trabajo en su seña de identidad inconfundible. Su carrera como piloto alcanzó el máximo nivel de gloria en 1959. A los mandos de un Aston Martin DBR1 oficial y haciendo equipo con Roy Salvadori, Shelby logró la victoria absoluta en las durísimas 24 Horas de Le Mans. Lo que casi nadie del público sabía era que corrió aquella prueba de resistencia francesa sufriendo una severa angina de pecho, obligándose a llevar fuertes pastillas de nitroglicerina bajo la lengua para evitar sufrir un infarto mortal a más de 250 kilómetros por hora. Shelby era consciente de que los coches americanos poseían motores V8 fiables y con un par demoledor, pero estaban montados en chasis de acero pesadísimos con suspensiones blandas. Por su parte, los europeos fabricaban chasis de aluminio ágiles y soñados, pero con motores enormemente complejos y frágiles. Para lograr su "híbrido", contactó con AC Cars en Inglaterra, una pequeña fábrica artesanal que estaba al borde del colapso. Producían el AC Ace, un precioso y diminuto roadster inspirado en el Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta. Al quedarse sin los veteranos motores que les suministraba Bristol, aceptaron a la desesperada enviar sus chasis a Shelby para que él les acoplara una mecánica. Tras recibir un duro portazo de General Motors, que no iba a dar motores a un rival de su Corvette, Shelby convenció a un joven Lee Iacocca en Ford. La marca ansiaba desesperadamente una imagen deportiva y le cedió a crédito su innovador y ligero motor V8 de 260 pulgadas cúbicas. El milagro se obró en Los Ángeles en 1962: en un taller y en apenas ocho horas de trabajo ininterrumpido, acoplaron el enorme corazón de Ford en el frágil chasis británico, dando vida al primer prototipo, el CSX2000. Estando completamente arruinado para iniciar la producción en masa, Shelby ideó una genial estafa de marketing: pintó ese único y solitario coche de distintos colores, como amarillo, rojo y azul, para prestárselo a la prensa de la época. Creó así la falsa ilusión de tener una enorme flota saliendo de su fábrica y las reservas llovieron, salvando la empresa. El AC Cobra 260 pesaba apenas 1000 kilos y devoraba el 0 a 100 km/h en poco más de 4 segundos. Pronto llegó el bloque de 289 pulgadas cúbicas, creando el modelo más equilibrado de toda la saga. Sin embargo, su frontal casi plano como un ladrillo chocaba contra un muro de aire en la larguísima recta de Le Mans. Negándose a perder, Shelby encargó al diseñador Peter Brock carrozar ese chasis. Nació así el extravagante y aerodinámico Shelby Daytona Coupe de cola truncada, con el que finalmente derrotaron a los intocables Ferrari 250 GTO en el Campeonato Mundial de GT. Pero el tejano nunca tenía suficiente. En 1965 obligó a rediseñar todo el chasis, haciéndolo mucho más robusto con modernos amortiguadores, para introducir el gigantesco y pesado motor V8 de 7.0 litros derivado de la NASCAR. Había nacido el AC Cobra 427, un monstruo indomable de más de 425 caballos de fuerza.
