01:00:44 – FBI Hides Epstein Footage, Trump May Pardon P. DiddyOpening topics hit fast: speculation that the FBI is withholding surveillance video from Epstein's cell, talk of Trump possibly pardoning P. Diddy, and questions over whether Ghislaine Maxwell could be next. 01:16:41 – Cincinnati Racially Motivated Beating OutrageThe show condemns comments from Cincinnati City Council President Pro Tem Victoria Parks, who said she was “grateful” for a black mob beating white victims. Discussion centers on media double standards, hate crime hypocrisy, and cultural propaganda against whites. 01:26:08 – Pelosi Act: Political Theater, Not ReformThe Senate committee advances the Pelosi Act to ban certain stock trades — but carves out exemptions for Trump and VP Vance. Framed as partisan score-settling, not genuine anti-corruption reform. 01:41:27 – UK Police Arrest Gardener for Using a TrowelUK police treat gardening tools as “offensive weapons,” arresting a man tending his own garden. The segment ridicules UK law enforcement as a clown show more focused on harmless citizens than real criminals. 01:59:17 – UK's Inverted JusticeCommentary on how authorities ignore terrorism and violent crime while punishing harmless acts like gardening or online speech. The UK's priorities are described as upside-down and politically motivated. 02:13:00 – Immigration Arrest Video Sparks OutrageA Florida traffic stop turns violent when immigration officers choke and tase two men. The American filming the incident is threatened and charged for refusing to delete the footage — a move the show calls pure thuggery. 02:46:07 – Poll: Nearly Half Link Trump to EpsteinA new poll finds 46% of Americans believe Trump was involved in Epstein's crimes, but Republican denial remains strong. The show laments how many refuse to see the evidence. 02:59:10 – Trump's Chinese Ship Fee BackfiresProposed fees on Chinese-built cargo ships risk crippling U.S. coal and agricultural exports, driving up consumer prices, and strangling already struggling industries. 03:07:45 – EU Trade Deal Unrealistic and RiskyThe U.S.–EU preliminary trade pact promises impossible energy purchase targets and could trigger economic blowback. The show likens it to “Looney Tunes” policymaking. 03:15:05 – AI as a Trojan Horse for a Lost GenerationConcerns are raised over Elon Musk's “anime AI girlfriend” on X/Twitter, described as engineered to hijack young men's attention and dopamine, replacing real-world relationships and stunting cognitive development. 03:28:31 – AI Will Erase Entry-Level WorkDiscussion shifts to how AI and automation will target entry-level jobs first, removing the stepping stones young people need to build careers. Generational decline in work opportunities is linked to automation, H‑1B hiring, and corporate cost-cutting. 03:43:40 – Technocrats Push Total Health Data SurveillanceU.S. health officials and tech leaders roll out plans for nationwide health data integration, combining wearables, tax records, DMV files, and more into a centralized system—framed as a tool for population management and control. 03:48:01 – Court Win for Christian Adoption RightsAn Oregon appeals court rules in favor of Jessica Bates, a Christian mother previously barred from adopting for refusing to support gender transition for foster children—seen as a rare religious liberty victory in the adoption system. 03:53:02 – Churches Freed to Endorse Political CandidatesConservative Christian activists celebrate a legal win against the Johnson Amendment, allowing churches to endorse candidates without IRS retaliation—a move viewed as a breakthrough for political speech from the pulpit.

While the Bastards and The Caps are busy planning their rescue mission, Margo is busy hunting down her own backup plan. Deep in the jungle on a desolate planet, Margo is tracking down the perpetually-captured duo known as "Nine Blades", (despite having only eight visible), and his precognitive partner Vache de Mer. With their “help”, Margo hatches a scheme to infiltrate BioLife and save Cleo. Her plan? Use Vache and Nine Blades' unique talent for getting themselves captured by BioLife, as the ultimate Trojan Horse operation. By hiding the Bastard/Cap crew in their stolen BioLife ship and letting themselves get "caught" for the third time, they can infiltrate the facility from the inside and give BioLife "the spicy tickles" they deserve. It's a plan so crazy, it just might work… Season 4 is finally here after a big break, and we are bringing you in smooth!

This week, we're talking to Ryu Yokoi, chief media and marketing capabilities officer for North America at Unilever, about Dove's “Hot Seats” campaign — a bold, culture-hacking activation that shows up where the sweat is real and the stakes are surprisingly high.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler, and welcome to this edition of The Big Impression. Today we are talking about how Unilever is breaking taboos, opening up new kinds of conversations and connecting with consumers in some unexpected places. Our guest is Ryu Yokoi Chief Media and Marketing Capabilities Officer for North America at Unilever. We're going to dive into DO'S Hot Seats campaign. It's a bold effort to normalize conversations around full body freshness and engage people across both digital and real world spaces. We'll be talking about how this campaign's activating across concerts, social, retail, and digital platforms. So let's get into it.Ryu Yokoi (00:46):It always starts with understanding our audience and also try to make our products really relevant and desirable in that context. And so the hot seats are originated from social listening within the community. And in particular, one of our, actually her name's Dana Pucci, who leads our PR and influencer work on Dove for North America is a big Charlie XCX fan. And she noted that the Incredible Sweat tour, which was driving and kind of owning the culture last summer in the brat summer, that was(01:21):Unfortunately the Sweat tour smelled not great. And it turned out that Charlie and Troy Sivan were going to be performing in Los Angeles the week before the launch of our new whole body deodorant. We kind did a takeover putting our product in the bathrooms. We sent in creators to sort of experience what a show is like when you can make sweats smell great. And the results were kind of magic because we got just unbelievable. The UVC on this and the Delight with folks attending a concert that actually smelled great was really fascinating, just fantastic response. And that week we had a really great launch of the product, first hitting the digital shells on Amazon and doing great.Damian Fowler (02:02):That sounded like a very fast activation for a campaign.Ryu Yokoi (02:06):It happened literally within 10 days.Damian Fowler (02:08):What was the war room like for that 10 days? How did you strategize to get that done?Ryu Yokoi (02:14):We always emphasize we want to build worlds instead of chasing moments. So when you have an idea of what you're trying to build with the brand, how you show up, then it becomes a lot easier.Damian Fowler (02:25):And tell me a little bit about the tone. I mean, one of you mentioned the humor element of it. Why is that real talk, that humor so key to Dove campaigns?Ryu Yokoi (02:34):Well, I think there's a real authenticity that the brand has earned. We say, oh, it's an authentic, it's only authentic if people believe it. The brand is really comfortable in its own skin. We have a sharp understanding. I think that goes beyond a positioning statement to really understanding what this brand stands for, how it shows up in real life, what it would be like if you were to meet it and still be consistent in our building of that brand means to people.Damian Fowler (03:00):Yeah, I mean, I've got to say I live in New York and I've noticed the campaign on the New York, out of digital, out of home subway screens and it just totally cuts through and I noticed it. And of course you're standing on a New York City platform in terrible heat, humidity, and everyone's sweating. It's like a perfect placement.Ryu Yokoi (03:19):Well, I would say the subway work you've seen is really telegraphing that benefit, right? If you're blessed to be next to somebody who's wearing dove on the subway, then wow, this is a good ride. We've sponsored Charlie's spring tour and we're also showing up at other festivals like Lollapalooza, which have just provide another canvas for us to tell the story.Damian Fowler (03:38):Is it a case that once the campaign's out there in the wild, it builds its own momentum? Or are you actively trying to find new events, new points of pop culture? Kind of.Ryu Yokoi (03:47):That's exactly what we're trying to find, right, is we understand that if we're able to actually become part of the discourse, we're not just broadcasting ourselves in, but actively playing a role and helping people. And we had a similar case where the first weekend of Coachella people were again, lamenting unfortunately didn't smell great, and in this case somebody not us posted saying, well, I wish Dov would come and help here. We really had a lot of fun with it. We flew a plane over Coachella the second week saying, the cavalry's coming help is on the way we hear you need.Damian Fowler (04:24):That's good.Ryu Yokoi (04:25):Some help. And we're going to be there. We lined up folks around the entrances so that folks could kind of get freshen up on the way into the show or get freshened up, and more than a thousand people took advantage of that.Damian Fowler (04:35):Now, I wanted to ask you about some of the key signals or early reads on the campaign. I'm sure you're paying close attention as you evaluate the impact. What do you look for on your dashboard, as it were?Ryu Yokoi (04:47):Right. So I think first and foremost, you're right. Measurement is the most importantDamian Fowler (04:54):Thing.Ryu Yokoi (04:54):But first and foremost, we did this the week before we were launching the product. So the first signal was did we turn well? And weDamian Fowler (05:02):Did.Ryu Yokoi (05:02):And the ramp on the product was really terrific. But I think to your point, it's really important no matter what the channel that you're playing in, what are the leading indicators that we can correlate with performance? In this case, it was one where things happened so quickly and we knew there was literally nothing else happening when we did this, and so we were able to isolate that way.Damian Fowler (05:23):Are there other channels that you are kind of thinking about or could be targeted for the campaign?Ryu Yokoi (05:31):In principle, I want to be able to capture signal everywhere. For me it's just around understanding where are people discussing whatever it is that we're trying to get into the discussion on and being authentic there. So for us, Reddit is a channel we haven't used as much in the past. Certainly now I find it increasingly of relevance for us. So we're trying to build up a skillset there,Damian Fowler (05:55):EspeciallyRyu Yokoi (05:55):Given how important it is with ais. Right.Damian Fowler (05:58):What about audio? Is thatRyu Yokoi (06:00):Podcast? Absolutely podcast. So(06:03):I would say, again, this was highly before it became something that we were rolling out in real life. Oh my goodness, the word is spectator events. Before it became something we were doing in real life as spectator events, it was a highly music driven campaign because we had decided to reboot this classic hip hop song from a few decades ago. And so it was already sort of music oriented and had played that way. But yeah, so for us it's exactly to your point. If we're talking about something that we're doing that's focusing on music or spectators, obviously audio is going to have relevance. Where are Charlie's fans actually discussing this? It turned out it was happening on Reddit. We go there, where are they discussing their experience at the concerts? We were seeing a lot of chatter on TikTok around that. And so we moved there. So we try to be nimble and agile and really be where the discourse is happening.Damian Fowler (07:07):So we're going to zoom out a little bit and just look at the big picture of the landscape beyond the campaign. But as you think about where culture is heading, whether it's wellness, inclusivity, or body confidence, what does the campaign kind of tell us about where Unilever wants to go with its brands or its kind of messaging wants to put out into the marketplace?Ryu Yokoi (07:27):We're all about building desire for our brands at scale. So we want to engage with communities wherever they are. It's about having a deep understanding of who our shopper is, what is driving desire for them, who influences them, and how we can really engage with them and create a discourse where we can try to move towards many to many communication.Damian Fowler (07:49):One of the big challenges for Marcus is balancing the long-term brand building with the short-term sales results. And do you think that there's a tension there right now in a marketplace that's very much dialed into performance?Ryu Yokoi (08:01):Listen, I think that it's really important that you have the right measurement in place and that you can understand both the short-term and long-term effects of the investments that you're making. That's something we really pride ourselves on. We want to be the most outcome oriented advertiser in the marketplace. But the other thing I would say is that more and more data signals and shopability are making it so the funnel is collapsing and we're nearing places when it comes to QR or having true shopability in stream where even executions that in the past would've been considered the most upper funnel can actually drive a transaction in that moment. And I think a future of that's really exciting.Damian Fowler (08:40):So finally, we're going to get into some of these hot seat rapid fire questions here.Ryu Yokoi (08:44):Okay,Damian Fowler (08:44):So you ready?Ryu Yokoi (08:45):Yes, let's go.Damian Fowler (08:46):Alright. What's one thing you're obsessed with figuring out right now?Ryu Yokoi (08:50):We've been talking about how much we've built out resources in this area and all of the interconnections that the data allows us to make. That implies campaigns that become more and more complex and much more complicated to just flight even. And so one of the things that I'm obsessed with is how we simplify that. There's so much change happening to accommodate all of this stuff. So really my big focus right now is on how we make working in this digital landscape easier for everybody involved in it because the amount of choices that we have and the richest is never ending. And so just making that more sustainable.Damian Fowler (09:32):I love that. That's a great answer. What's missing from the media and marketing marketplace that you'd like to see?Ryu Yokoi (09:39):From a Unilever standpoint, we have a few direct to consumer brands that are able to sort of track the media journey all the way through to conversion, but in the bulk of what we sell in traditional, fast moving goods are moving through retail. So what's missing is some way to penetrate that clean from a data standpoint so that those of us brands that aren't doing DTC can have that all the way through. We manage that well today with leading indicators and fast signals, but there's I think even more richness out there for us if we're able to correct that.Damian Fowler (10:15):To bring this kind of full circle outside of CPG, is there a brand that you think is doing a great job connecting with culture right now?Ryu Yokoi (10:22):Yeah, so I would name two. One that we really admire is Lego. I just see the way that they have both made their products, both a vehicle for other brands to build their worlds while also building incredible worlds for themselves. So they've become kind of this almost currency within the way that so many other brands are trying to build their IP in the world. So whether it's like a Formula One drop a Star Wars drop a Harry Potter drop, these things each have so much hype around them and they've learned while doing that so that they're able to propel their own ip, which is really impressive to me. So the other, I would say we had a fantastic opportunity to work with this year as crumble cookie. They were dove soaps, deodorant, lotions that were fragranced inspired by crumble flavors. And so in partnering then we were able to build off of that and make our soaps, our body washes, our deodorants, one of the drops of the winter. We struggled to keep it on shelf. So I'm a big admirer of the work that they've done too.Damian Fowler (11:27):That sounds cool. And then final, final question here. So in Unilever kind of portfolio of brands Dove Ben and, and the goal has always been to spark conversations, that's how we started this conversation. I guess I'm wondering if you could share a moment that reminded you of the importance of that brand led cultural impact that you can have.Ryu Yokoi (11:51):Oh wow. There's so many, but I'll give Dove so that we can show the other side of the coin because we've been talking about a campaign as I was saying, that shows a more playful side, the humorous side of the brand, but one of the areas the brand has focused over the past few years, and we just celebrated 20 years of the Dove Self-Esteem program, and Dove is one of the leading providers of self-esteem education in the world. I think actually we give the most annually self-esteem workshops. And one of the areas we focused recently is body confidence in sport. And so we partnered with Nike a few years ago to do research on the topic of young women in sport. And what we discovered along with them was that young women as they reach their teen years, are dropping out of sports at an alarming rate relative to guys.(12:41):And the chief reason is body confidence is feeling comfortable in your own skin wearing the kinds of outfits that you're wearing when you're playing sports. And so we set out to, together with Nike, actually develop a curriculum for coaches, which is the Body Confidence Sport curriculum that literally teaches coaches how to talk to young women about their bodies in ways that are positive and not discouraging. And so we've now been leveraging almost Trojan Horse, our participation across the big game. Our role as a sponsor of March Madness, we activated it last year with em, Navarro at the US Open really across major sports temples. We've just signed our first kit sponsorship of Gotham FC in the New York, New Jersey area of the Women's Professional Soccer League. And we're partnering with them also where they have a program called Keep Her in the Game. That's all around keeping young women in the New York, New Jersey area, staying, playing soccer. And so all of this focused again on trying to create a platform where we can talk about this and encourage people to go and learn about this curriculum. And the most encouraging thing. A really long-winded answer to your question,Damian Fowler (13:58):That's great.Ryu Yokoi (13:58):What struck me was we were looking back at the research and our spots in the big game have generated really good discourse the past couple of years. Really positive response from folks who've been inspired, not just by the ads themselves, but also I think this year we were one of maybe only a handful of brands that delivered a purpose message in the game. The really encouraging is the group with whom it resonated the most was Girl Dads, right?Damian Fowler (14:26):Yeah.Ryu Yokoi (14:26):The very guys who are probably coaching on the weekend who probably need to know more about how to speak to these young women and keep them comfortable and inspired playing. So it's stuff like that that makes me see all the time. As I was saying earlier, for us it's around how can we show up, how can we add value? How can we actually help the community? And when we do that, then we build trust and then we can have different kinds of dialogues with people and they really know who we are.Damian Fowler (14:54):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression. This show is produced by Molten Heart. Our theme is by Loving Caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns. And remember,Ryu Yokoi (15:03):I think there's a real authenticity that the brand has earned.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the calls by President Donald Trump to arrested and prosecute former President Barack Obama as declassified documents released by Director or National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard show Obama was heavily involved in treasonous activity including fabricating the Russiagate controversy. Trump shared AI video of Obama being arrested by the FBI while he laughed. These documents show that the Russiagate narrative was created by Obama and the people around him and that Comey, Mueller and others knew there was no evidence that Russia was involved in the 2016 elections, essentially making this a coup against Trump. But we always knew that. The reality is, Obama himself, much like Trump is just a spokesman for a sports team. They're not the actual people in power. This entire story appears to be a diversion from the countless controversies that have happened recently. While Obama certainly should be put in prison for the things he signed off on as a puppet, we need to understand how narratives are constructed and for what purpose they're constructed now, not earlier and not later. Trump's first administration had these documents available to them. They already knew Obama had Trump's campaign spied on. The narrative we see consistently now is that Trump is some sort of anti-establishment hero. Yet, he is doing so many of the things Obama did before him as a Trojan Horse. And while Trump is obviously not owned by Russia, he is indeed heavily arming Ukraine. As some have pointed out, this move may be both a distraction and a way to fabricate massive civil unrest utilizing a potential arrest of a former president. Always consider who truly benefits when these stories come out. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Josh Sigurdson reports on the massive rollout of the technocratic digital system as Elon Musk announces Baby Grok AI chatbots that will be built strictly to "educated" children. This latest move is extremely concerning as we already see a generation of children indoctrinated by smart phones. Elon Musk who has acknowledged that artificial intelligence will "destroy humanity" is now pushing forward Baby Grok AI to control the thoughts of children following the launch of Grok4. Elon who also claimed AI will destroy most jobs is one of the main people replacing jobs at his factories with AI. In fact, he's one of the main people developing AI on earth while claiming it will destroy humanity. Musk recently also acknowledged on X that he "previously resisted AI" but is now "all in" as he sells X to XAI for 33 billion dollars. He's always been "all in." He's the Trojan Horse. As disaster after disaster strikes by design, conveniently the entire digital infrastructure is being built as a "replacement" in order to force people under technocratic control. As farming is taken over by automation as conservative influences calls for robots to take over, the GENIUS Act is passed as CBDCs are launched in most countries in the world alongside digital IDs. Soon, there will be a ration based system for food and energy and incredibly, most will not have done anything to prepare and stock up for it. Are you prepared? Stay tuned for more from WAM!

It's finally time! As the Trojans are chased into the city, some bright spark (obviously it's Odysseus) suggests that we build a farmyard animal out of wood and push it in front of the Trojan gates! Let's shove some warriors in it and pretend to leave, then the Trojans will surely drag it into the city. But don't worry, there's no way they're foolish enough to actually go for it...

We need to be aware of a set of beliefs that are not new, but that seem- overtly and covertly- to be affecting the Body of Christ. You may have already been exposed and not realized it. This is not to scare or to embellish, but to make you aware of it. Take it to the Lord to see what you should do concerning it. It can have profound effects on your faith and Christian walk.

Robbie Bent is the co-founder of Othership—a multi-million dollar wellness movement centered around sauna, breathwork, cold plunge, and emotional connection. After a devastating startup failure left him broke and struggling with addiction, what began as backyard ice bath experiments during COVID evolved into one of the most innovative wellness concepts today. In this raw conversation, Robbie shares how his darkest moments led to discovering somatic practices that not only saved his life but inspired a business helping thousands heal together. Robbie and Megan explore why traditional therapy often falls short, how Othership became a "Trojan Horse" for emotional processing, and why the real transformation happens not in the sauna or ice bath—but in the vulnerable sharing that follows. Beyond the emotional insights, Robbie gets tactical about scaling brick-and-mortar businesses, dealing with copycats, founder mode versus delegation, and the profound loneliness of building something meaningful while trying to be a present father and husband. This conversation reveals why the future of wellness isn't about optimizing alone; it's about witnessing each other's humanity—and healing in community. Topics & Takeaways What Othership is and why it's more than sauna and ice baths The emotional regulation crisis and the new wave of wellness How hot/cold contrast therapy is a Trojan horse for emotional healing The science behind breathwork, group sharing, and co-regulation Why Robbie believes emotional health is “where fitness was in 2009” The story behind Othership's founders and their radically intentional space design Building emotional safety in a luxury-meets-humility environment From addiction and startup failure to healing and service How Robbie overcame shame, scarcity, and perfectionism The power of vulnerability and the healing force of group connection What makes Othership polarizing—and why that's the point Cult-like brand love, social wellness, and the death of shame How Robbie manages competition, fear, and founder pressure Why success is about how deeply you impact someone, not how many   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

Foreign aid is dead — long live foreign aid. On July 1st, 2025, the U.S. Agency for International Development — USAID — shut its doors for good. An institution born under Kennedy to be America's moral halo and Cold War firewall, it fed, healed, and built half the Global South for 60 years. Some say it saved 91 million lives; The Lancet says its closure could mean 14 million more deaths by 2030, a third of them kids. Bush calls that a tragedy. Obama calls it a colossal mistake. Bono writes a poem and cries. But the truth is harder to swallow: aid is a lifeline — but it's also a leash. And America just yanked it.This is realpolitik with a humanitarian face. Kennedy made foreign aid a Trojan Horse of goodwill and soft control. You keep kids alive, you keep regimes in your orbit. Bush knew it — PEPFAR, his AIDS relief plan, was moral triage and evangelical diplomacy. Obama, ever the grown-up, saw it as soft power's last best card: stabilizing failed states while creating new markets. But even he knew it was a moral leasehold — borrowed time for the world's poorest, funded by taxpayers whose mercy has an expiration date.And then came the burn-it-down populists. Reagan once said the scariest words in the English language were: “I'm from the government and I'm here to help.” Elon Musk put that on a T-shirt, ran USAID through his “Department of Government Efficiency,” and called it fraud. Trump shrugged and told the base: why send 17 cents a day to Sudan when you can buy votes at home? Musk called it a criminal racket. And the landlord foreclosed.So here's the raw question: is it better to live forever on a drip of pity — or drown free? AID is like AIDS meds: once you start, you can't stop, or you die. In Sudan, five million lose healthcare overnight. In sub-Saharan Africa, PEPFAR's cut means HIV deaths could spike again, kids orphaned by a policy pivot. Some will say America murdered them. But maybe they were already living on borrowed time.You can rage at the empire's moral hypocrisy. You should. But also ask: would you build your family's survival on the grace of someone else's Congress, someone else's donor mood, someone else's tax politics? Would you build your castle on soft ground? In Hawaii, they'd say: never build on leased land owned by a Queen's trust. Because the trust can pull the ground out any day.This is a story about the hard edge under the soft empire. It's about the village that was saved — but never finished its own well. It's about the landlord with the mercy kill switch. It's about the moment the halo flickered out and the people left holding the bag realized they'd always been on the moral leash.So if I sound like an asshole for saying it — AITA? Probably. But the ground is still soft. And pity, like funding, always expires.Listen, think, argue — but ask yourself: what do you build when the lifeline's gone?

Five years ago today, the Chinese Communist Party “fundamentally transformed” Hong Kong from a relatively free and economically thriving territory into just another enslaved city within the People's Republic of China.  With Beijing's imposition of a draconian national security law, the CCP finished off the last vestiges of the “one-country, two-systems” arrangement it promised Great Britain would apply for fifty years when she surrendered the colony in 1997.   Dissent has been crushed, with its champions like Jimmy Lai and Joshua Wong cruelly imprisoned. The mainland's totalitarian social credit system enforces the Party's edicts. And Hong Kong's capital market now serves as a financial Trojan Horse, a vehicle for Wall Street to fundraise for Chinese military companies like CATL.  An even worse fate awaits Taiwan if the Chinese Communists can next acquire it, one way or another. That must not happen. This is Frank Gaffney.

Vanessa Cominsky joins Case and Sam to RAGE against this awkward historical epic! Overview Podcast hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea provide a framework for discussing the 2004 film Troy, highlighting its connection to early 2000s epic films like Gladiator and 300. Vanessa Cominsky, a guest and classics major, notes a 4-year professional bond with Case stemming from shared academic interests. David Benioff, the film's screenwriter, is discussed in relation to his later work on Game of Thrones and identified issues in narrative depth. Whitewashing criticism surfaces regarding the film's predominantly white cast, despite its story set in a historically diverse region. Analysis reveals a lack of clear passage of time, compressing the depicted 10-year Trojan War into a brief narrative span. Costume design receives praise for historical accuracy while the film's runtime discrepancies are critiqued, with the director's cut deemed excessive. Thematic exploration includes Agamemnon's characterization as a villain symbolizing US imperialism, contrasting with sympathetic portrayals of the Trojans. Sean Bean's potential as Odysseus is noted but criticized for underutilization, while Peter O'Toole's Priam provides limited but impactful performance. Improvement suggestions include altering the title to better reflect Achilles' journey and revising the narrative structure to enhance character development. Upcoming initiatives include a scholarship program for women in wine, launched by Vanessa Cominsky's nonprofit Vin Vitalite in 2025. @vminsky @womenofwinedc Www.vinVitalité.org (Pronounced vinn vitahlihtay) Notes ️ Podcast Introduction & Setup (00:00 - 02:45) Hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea introduce the 'Another Pass' podcast, discussing movie analysis and improvements. Guest Vanessa Cominsky introduced as Case's coworker from wine/spirits industry and fellow classics major. Discussion of 4-year professional relationship and bonding over classics background. Movie Context & Background (02:45 - 09:38) Analysis of 2004 film Troy as adaptation loosely based on oral tradition. Discussion of movie within context of early 2000s epic films including Gladiator, 300, and Lord of the Rings trilogy. David Benioff identified as screenwriter, connecting to later Game of Thrones writing style issues. Observation that Odysseus character tells audience he's clever but never demonstrates intelligence in actual scenes. Political interpretation: movie reflects 2004 centrist liberal perspective on Middle Eastern conflicts with 'support the troops' messaging. Film Production & Casting Analysis (09:38 - 19:22) Vanessa's personal connection: used movie for high school Latin convention project and senior thesis. Whitewashing criticism - movie depicts conflict between Greece and Middle East with entirely white cast. Brad Pitt as main marketing draw playing Achilles in peak popularity period. Case's viewing experience in Rome during classics trip, creating nostalgic connection to material. Story Structure & Adaptation Choices (19:22 - 28:32) Movie covers broader Trojan War story rather than just Iliad, including Trojan Horse sequence not in original epic. Brian Cox as Agamemnon praised as perfect casting choice despite whitewashing issues. Discussion of movie's approach to gods - humans take credit for actions rather than divine intervention. ️ Character Analysis - Heroes and Villains (28:32 - 38:14) Agamemnon positioned as main villain representing US imperialism, while Trojans portrayed sympathetically. Hector vs Achilles juxtaposition works well as respective champions of each side. Orlando Bloom as Paris criticized as too whiny and lacking roguish charm needed for character. Eric Bana as Hector praised as everyone's 'big brother' figure and moral center. Production Design & Technical Elements (38:14 - 47:42) Costume design highly praised for historical accuracy and visual distinction between Greeks and Trojans. Director's cut vs theatrical cut - director's cut too long at 3 hours 16 minutes with unnecessary gore. Runtime issues - theatrical cut feels rushed while director's cut is excessive. War Portrayal & Geographic Issues (47:43 - 56:37) Time compression problem - 10-year war feels like weeks or months with no passage of time indicated. Troy's geography poorly established - unclear city layout and siege logistics. Siege warfare portrayed as single-direction battle rather than comprehensive blockade. Thematic Elements & Religious Context (56:38 - 01:05:46) Gods' role minimized to hint at divine influence without direct intervention. Moral philosophy embedded in Achilles-Briseis conversations about mortality and divinity. Historical accuracy questioned regarding Bronze Age vs Classical Greek terminology and social structures. Casting and Performance Critique (01:05:46 - 01:15:32) Sean Bean as Odysseus underutilized despite perfect casting choice. Peter O'Toole as Priam noted as big casting choice but limited screen time. James Cosmo casting questioned as underused Trojan general. Improvement Proposals - Sam's Pitch (01:15:32 - 01:26:16) Title change to 'The Wrath of Achilles' to better reflect actual story focus. Sean Bean expansion - more scenes showing passage of time and war strategy. Runtime reduction - cut Trojan perspective to focus on Greek side and Achilles' journey. Narrative structure - use Odysseus as storyteller/narrator rather than voiceover. Improvement Proposals - Vanessa's Pitch (01:26:16 - 01:36:20) Scope change to focus on Achilles from moment Odysseus recruits him. Character development - establish Greek power structure and vassal relationships. Agamemnon characterization - emphasize him as villain representing imperialism more clearly. Improvement Proposals - Casey's Pitch (01:36:20 - 01:45:13) Geographic clarity - establish Troy's layout and siege positioning with additional CG shots. Time passage - visual indicators and dialogue establishing years-long conflict. Battle variety - different environments including sea battles and raids on surrounding areas. Violence balance - between theatrical cut's sanitization and director's cut's excess. Final Discussion & Wrap-up (01:45:13 - 02:05:58) David Benioff background revealed as Goldman Sachs executive's son, explaining Hollywood access. Vanessa's organization - Vin Vitalite, DC women in wine industry nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status. Scholarship program launching 2025 for women in wine industry.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the announcement by RFK Jr. calling for all Americans to have wearable tracking devices within 4 years, claiming it's his "vision." RFK Jr. who had long spoken out against surveillance technology claims his vision is that all Americans have "wearables" in the next 4 years allowing all health related issues to be tracked and traced in the moment. A clear Trojan Horse. He says this leads to "early detection" which in turn would mean big pharma can put you on drugs faster. He claims this is about "Making America Healthy Again." Of course this opens a massive door to surveillance under the guise of "convenience" as always. This is being called for at the same time Trump taps Palantir to create a massive database on all Americans following his meeting with Alex Karp, Larry Find of BlackRock, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk in Saudi Arabia, developing a massive AI surveillance and military system. This also comes as more propaganda comes out pushing people to get Neuralink so they can play video games with their brains. Of course, neuralink is connected to a Pentagon funded mesh network. That reminds us... Yuval Noah Harari claims his dream is to seem people placated on drugs playing video games. How convenient that the World Economic Forum agenda is exactly that of Elon Musk's and the Trump administration's. Meanwhile in the UK, as they roll out their digital ID, they're now mandating that all newborn babies have to receive DNA testing. On top of this, nanotechnology in vaccines continues to be a persisting problem and the US government is still pushing self amplifying mRNA vaccines for Bird Flu.

The so-called "Religious Liberty Commission," born under Trump, isn't about freedom; it's a brazen power grab cloaked in piety. This Washington D.C. gathering, a veritable who's who of the Christian right, from Dan Patrick to Dr. Phil (?), convened to lament America's perceived lack of Christianity. But behind the hand-wringing, a sinister agenda brews: to enforce a Christian nationalist vision, silencing dissent and rewriting the rules to their liking.This episode rips the mask off this charade, exposing the commission's blatant disregard for anyone outside their narrow religious circle. Witnesses like Fish Stark and Rachel Laser reveal a rhetoric of conspiracy and persecution, as these self-proclaimed victims twist reality to fit their narrative. We see this play out in Ohio, where the Center for Christian Virtue pushes a budget that betrays true Christian values, slashing funds for the vulnerable while advancing an anti-abortion crusade.From Ohio's voucher programs to Tennessee's assault on trans youth healthcare, the episode lays bare the consequences of weaponized religious fervor. It's a fight for the soul of America, a battle against those who would twist religious freedom into a tool of oppression. This isn't about faith; it's about control, and it's time we call it what it is.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Josh Sigurdson reports on the massive escalation of war with Iran as President Trump allegedly green lit the attacks on Tehran by Israel whom he bows to. Trump is saying he hasn't made the final decision yet on striking Iran but says he will one second before to maintain mystery. This is insanity. His base is being fractured as he calls them stupid for simply being against a war that would cause millions of deaths worldwide after Trump himself ran on being a "peace president." He spent the largest military budget in US history recently at $1 trillion. Trump and Ted Cruz are both claiming that Iran tried to assassinate Trump which there is no other evidence of than the word of Benjamin Netanyahu. It seems false flag season is certainly upon us with claims like this. Tucker Carlson had it out with Ted Cruz on his show after Trump called him "kooky" and claimed only he decides what "America First" means. Even Roger Stone and Charlie Kirk are calling out Trump on these latest moves as he cozies up to the very neocons that created the "never Trump movement." Iran's top allies are Russia and China and it appears with military exercises that Russia is preparing to come and help defend Iran against Israel, the United States, Britain and others. This is incredibly dangerous. Russia is also building nuclear bases in Iran. The propaganda being forced down the throats of MAGA is "weapons of mass destruction." We've heard this one before and it was Netanyahu who originally made this claim in congress in 2002, pushing the United States into the Iraq War leading to over 2 million deaths. While much of MAGA are pushing back, a large amount are in a daze and following the Trojan Horse to their demise. Meanwhile, the supply chain faces massive disruption as the Strait of Hormuz sees potential military shutdowns. An oil tanker has already gone up in flames. An Iranian minister is threatening a 100 day oil blockade.

In this episode of Crack the Book, we take a look at Week Fourteen of Ted Gioia's Humanities Course, covering Virgil's The Aeneid (Books 1–2), Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 1), and selections from The Portable Roman Reader. The focus is on key texts from Roman literature, their historical context, and their connections to earlier Greek works, providing an overview of their content and significance.Key Discussion Points: Virgil's The Aeneid (Robert Fagles' Translation): Written between 29–19 BCE, The Aeneid serves as Rome's foundational epic, modeled on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Book 1 opens with Aeneas, a Trojan survivor, shipwrecked on Carthage's shore due to Juno's interference, meeting Queen Dido, an exile from Tyre. Book 2 recounts Troy's fall, including the Trojan Horse stratagem and Aeneas' escape with his father Anchises and son Ascanius, losing his wife Creusa. The text emphasizes Aeneas' pietas (duty to gods, family, state). Divine rivalries, notably Juno's grudge from the Judgment of Paris and Venus' protection of Aeneas, drive the narrative. The Fagles translation includes maps and a glossary for accessibility. Ovid's Metamorphoses (David Raeburn's Translation): Composed around 8 CE, Metamorphoses is a 15-book poem chronicling transformations from creation to Ovid's era. Book 1 covers the creation of the cosmos from Chaos, the division into four elements (fire, water, earth, air), and humanity's decline from the Golden to Iron Age. It includes a flood narrative with Deucalion and Pyrrha and the story of Io, transformed into a cow by Jupiter to evade Juno. The Raeburn edition organizes vignettes with titled sections for clarity. The Portable Roman Reader (Basil Davenport, Ed.): Published in 1951, this anthology includes poetry from Rome's Republic, Augustan, and later Empire periods. Catullus (c. 60s–50s BCE) offers direct, personal verses, translated by Byron. Horace (65–8 BCE) writes complex, philosophical odes, less accessible due to style. Martial (c. 38–104 CE) provides epigrams on public life, including two elegies for a deceased young girl. Davenport's notes contextualize each era, and the anthology features prose by Livy, Caesar, and Tacitus for future study. Contextual Notes: The texts reflect Rome's engagement with Greek literary traditions, adapting gods' names (e.g., Hera to Juno) and themes. The course's schedule prioritizes rapid coverage to identify key works and connections.Takeaways:I loved this week so much! It felt great to come "home" to Rome. I've got specific ideas about how to approach each of these books, but in my opinion they are all worth the time for certain people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A28R9JnfNro Podcast audio: In this episode of The ARI Bookshelf, Elan Journo, Mike Mazza, Nikos Sotirakopoulos and Robertas Bakula discuss The Technological Republic, the recent New York Times bestseller by Alexander C. Karp, CEO of Palantir Technologies, and Nicholas W. Zamiska, the company's head of corporate affairs and legal counsel. Karp and Zamiska argue that America's future greatness hinges on a renewed commitment to national industrial policy. They claim that Silicon Valley is failing the nation by prioritizing personal ambition and consumer gratification over government-directed projects. In response, they claim to offer a new model of partnership between the U.S. government and American business. The discussion covered: The plausibility of the book's arguments; How the book is a Trojan Horse for collectivism; How the book undermines freedom and promotes central planning; How the book rehashes old ideas; Why only a free society is worth defending; The disturbing metaphysical premises behind the book's worldview. The video was recorded on June 2, 2025 and posted on June 5 2025.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – Under a 72 hour ultimatum, the Trump administration demands Harvard unveil student and scholar funding tied to CCP influence. This strategic move targets decades of Chinese soft-power infiltration through elite scholarships, legal shield, red philanthropy, and research agendas that shield Party narratives. By exposing hidden ties, Washington aims to dismantle the CCP's academic intelligence network.

We've been talking about RFK Jr for years, and even dedicated an entire chapter to him in our 2023 book—and we're going to keep covering him. Since his power and influence has only grown, and since he's now in charge of America's entire health apparatus, there's no way to avoid it. This week we catch up on the last few months of MAHA. Derek looks into why he believes Kennedy's apparatus, despite claims of being about health, is really a cover for Project 2025's deregulatory agenda. Julian discusses a recent paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine by Covid contrarians Marty Makary and Vinay Prasad, who now both work under Kennedy. Finally, Matthew will contemplate Kennedy's crude remarks on autism through the lens of disability politics. Show Notes What Has All This Restaurant Food Done to My Gut?

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, I sit down with my co-host Drew to rip into one of the most turbulent weeks in global politics and economics we've seen in a long time. We break down not just the moves, but the motives and the possible massive consequences behind Trump's high-octane foreign policy—from slashing tariffs with China and locking in a colossal Saudi investment deal, to taking the unprecedented step of targeting Big Pharma with an executive order to lower drug prices. We get into whether all this fast action is actually helping America or just stirring up more chaos. Are we leveraging our moment, or just getting played by the likes of Xi and Putin? Does tough talk and bold negotiating end with real results for America, or are we setting ourselves up for long-term headaches, especially with midterms on the horizon? Then we peel back the layers on some of the rawest culture war issues, from immigration crackdowns in the UK, the controversy about a Muslim-majority city in Texas, to the viral video of world leaders acting out-of-pocket on a train to Kiev.

Should Trump accept a $400 million jet from Qatar that would temporarily serve as Air Force One? Savage breaks down the three leading arguments against accepting the jet and the possible consequences surrounding the decision. Savage argues that accepting the gift has poor optics, risks the midterm elections for Republicans, and poses security threats. He stresses the need for critical thinking and cautions against potential espionage and sabotage. Savage then sounds off on recent news, blasting Bernie Sanders and Occasional-Cortex and his thoughts on the new Pope.
