Everyone says the polls blew it. Carl Allen says they didn't, and his research shows candidates averaging 49% or higher in well-polled races have won 98% of the time since 2004. Then we go race by race: Texas, Ohio, Maine, and two red states that could shock everyone on election night.Recorded live on Substack, this conversation with data analyst Carl Allen starts with why polls aren't predictions and ends with a tour of the 2026 Senate map, with real poll averages and prediction market odds pulled up as we talked. Along the way, Carl explains why a one-point lead can be safer than a three-point lead, and why undecided voters in Minnesota aren't the same as undecided voters in Ohio.Calls to Action✅ Leave a rating and review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion✅ Subscribe on Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com✅ Watch and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion✅ Share this episode with the friend who refreshes the polls every morningKey takeawaysPolls estimate a candidate's current support, not the final margin. When late deciders break heavily one way, as they did for David Crowley in Wisconsin's governor primary, that isn't a poll error.Watch the 50% line, not the spread. A candidate near 50% has little room to be overtaken, no matter how many voters are undecided.Undecided voters aren't a monolith. That's why prediction markets give a small Democratic lead in Minnesota 90% odds while a similar lead in Texas gets about 60%.Carl's sleeper races are Kansas and Nebraska. If Democrats have a strong night, he expects those two to move together.About Carl AllenCarl Allen is a researcher and analyst of sports and political data and the author of The Polls Weren't Wrong (CRC Press, 2024).

New District 2 congressional poll shows majority of voters undecided --- Utah AG: With AI, No one is safe from scammers

Matt and Sean talk about how Strange New Worlds keeps borrowing other genres in Star Trek SNW Season 4, Episode 4, "A Case of Chiaroscuro." A musical, a horror hour, and now film noir shot in black and white. Matt calls it Andor filtered through Doctor Who, and he means that as a compliment and a complaint at once. Sean argues the story earns the style, from Una's con at the end to La'an's quiet unraveling in sickbay. Pike also climbs the captain rankings along the way. So is genre play the smartest tool this show has? Or is the peanut butter getting into the chocolate?Order Sean's next book, “In the Fields We Thirst” here: https://undecided.link/in-the-fields-we-thirstChapters:00:00: Intro02:32: Today's Episode & Mailbag08:27: Episode Description08:55: This Time in History11:37: Episode DiscussionWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTX_qYhEzqMSupport the show directly: https://trekintime.show/join/Audio version of the podcast: https://www.trekintime.showYouTube version of the podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@TrekinTimeGet in touch: https://trekintime.show/contact/Follow us on: Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@mattferrell Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/mattferrell.bsky.social Undecided with Matt Ferrell: https://www.youtube.com/@undecidedtechnology Hosted on Acast.

Matt and Sean ask whether Star Trek SNW Season 4, Episode 3, "Human Best Friend" works better as a live-action Lower Decks episode. The shore leave setup gives Strange New Worlds room for drunk-planet chaos, La'an taking over a gang, Spock mind-melding with a plant, and Scotty and Ortegas turning into a buddy comedy. But with only 10 episodes in the season, they also question whether this much goofiness helps or hurts the larger story.Order Sean's next book, “In the Fields We Thirst” here: https://undecided.link/in-the-fields-we-thirstChapters:00:00: Intro02:46: Today's Episode03:07: Episode Description03:44: This Time in History05:25: Today's DiscussionWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKiB9YBwACYSupport the show directly: https://trekintime.show/join/Audio version of the podcast: https://www.trekintime.showYouTube version of the podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@TrekinTimeGet in touch: https://trekintime.show/contact/Follow us on: Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@mattferrell Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/mattferrell.bsky.social Undecided with Matt Ferrell: https://www.youtube.com/@undecidedtechnology Hosted on Acast.

What It Really Means to Be on the Fence Well, hey there. Welcome back. You know, at one point, you might have been on the fence about whether you’re going to listen to this episode or stick with the podcast or subscribe to it. There may be hundreds of things you’ve been on the fence about in your life. And when was the last time you actually used that phrase with another human? Because depending on your definition, it may or may not mean undecided. So let’s talk about it. And let’s talk about those monsters and unicorns that are involved in it. So, but first, let’s talk about what it isn’t. To me, it’s not a lack of decisiveness. It’s not a lack of being in one direction or another. Because if you say, “Well, I like this, but do I want it? Hm, I don’t know.” Well, then you don’t really have a lot of energy pushing you to make that decision or to purchase something or what have you. You may think, “Okay, well, I’d like to agree to this, but I just… I don’t have the resources for it, the energy for it, the time for it, the… the desire.” Or you may think, “I don’t want this at all. I don’t want this at all, but I… I don’t want to tell this person. So, I’ll just string them along,” which is another fun phrase. None of those are really being on the fence. On the fence makes you literally feel like you’re sort of teetering on a very precarious position. You’re going to fall one way or the other way. You’re going to say yes, or you’re going to say no. You’re going to take the plunge, or you’re not. Making a decision requires time and energy and, in some cases, resources. Or, in some cases, it may cost you a considerable amount of resources if you make the wrong decision. It can feel funny, it can feel out of character, or it can kind of feel exciting, because you may feel both the danger or the risk, at the same time, you feel the pleasure of going, “Wow, if I do this, this good thing will happen and make me feel good.” Lots of monsters and unicorns… I suppose that sounds like gambling a little bit, doesn’t it? But it also sounds like a couple of monsters and unicorns pulling at you. One of them is trying to pull you to one side of the fence, one of them is trying to pull you to the other. You have the monster saying, “If you do this, it’s going to hurt. You’re going to waste money, you’re going to waste time, you’re going to get tricked, it’s a scam, it’s not something you need, you’re going to regret it.” That could be one monster, that could be a number of monsters. You can have a monster working on the other side saying, “If you don’t do this, it’s going to hurt. If you don’t make this decision, you’re going to continue to suffer, you’re going to continue to be in pain. You have to do this.” You can have a unicorn saying, “You know what? Stay here. Don’t… don’t do this. Don’t make this decision, because not making this decision makes us feel really good. It feels good not to do this. So, just leave it as a default, as a no.” You could also have one on the other side saying, “You know, man, this’ll feel good if you do this. Man, this is what you have wanted. Look at how your friends are going to revere you. You’re going to be the coolest guy. You are going to have the neatest stuff. They’re going to come over and go, ‘Wow.’ Or they’re going to say, ‘Wow, I can’t believe that you did this. You’re impressing me, and the best person ever.'” And now imagine all those monsters and unicorns are are joining hands, they’re working together to yank you from one side to the other. They’re pulling you. And you’re, again, teeter-tottering on there. That is exciting. So, there’s a certain excitement to being on the fence, and it can be kind of rare. People who are decisive typically do a couple of things: They move quickly, and they try to remove emotion from it. But in both cases, sometimes that doesn’t work. Sometimes you can’t move quickly because you might have to do some research, and the research might tell you you were really wrong. Taking the emotion out sounds great on paper, but what it really sounds like you’re doing is you’re taking a monster or unicorn out that’s disconnected. Again, the decision as to whether to purchase a large TV because you decide you want one or you need one for movies or so forth, if that’s affected by the emotion of “my friends will think I’m cool,” well, then that’s disconnected. So by taking the emotion out, you’re really just taking out the control of that monster or unicorn in this particular equation. Impulse Purchases vs. Strategic Waiting I use TV because it… it… it’s something that a lot of people buy. The size of it tends to rely sometimes on what you think your friends will think of it or your family, and so forth. It’s sometimes it’s a one-upmanship kind of thing. It… it’s a good thing to pick on. I mean, people buy TVs, people like large TVs. This is my way, or the way that I purchased my TV, which is like 100 years old now.

Matt and Sean talk about a fun dinosaur romp that collapses by the halfway point in Star Trek SNW Season 4, Episode 1, "Valles Marineris." The T. Rex encounter works, Pelia's Doctor Who joke works, and then the plot logic falls apart. Nobody on the best crew in Starfleet asks the obvious question about the mysterious fifth planet. So does the season four premiere earn its time travel setup?

This is a special one. Recorded on home soil just days before departure, this is Jonathan Thomas's complete pre-trip briefing before he leaves to walk the entire 84-mile length of Hadrian's Wall — coast to coast across Northern England. It has been fifteen years in the making. Jonathan walks through the whole story: the conversation with his wife a year ago that set everything in motion, the year of training that followed, why he chose this particular trail, and how a long-held someday became a definite date on the calendar. He then goes deep into the logistics — the Macs Adventure app and luggage transfer service, his full ten-stage itinerary from Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway, why he's walking east to west, the "day zero" plan to get the first five miles out of the way, the gear he's packing (and the beloved Ordnance Survey maps he's leaving behind), and the tradition he's borrowing from the Wainwright Coast to Coast. Finally, he lays out everything coming down the line: a ten-episode podcast series sponsored by SplashMaps, social posts from the trail, mini-documentaries, articles, a possible book, a possible revival of the Travels in Britain video series — and the extra week in England afterward, taking in the Settle & Carlisle line, four days in York, a day out in Yorkshire with Tim Barber, Castle Howard, and a final stretch in London that includes Buckingham Palace, the Ceremony of the Keys, the Wallace Collection's Churchill exhibition, and a recording of next month's What's On in London from inside Emery Walker's House.

Deep in the Anglotopia archive is what Jonathan calls "the graveyard of my ambitions" — every previous attempt to start training for Hadrian's Wall that never became a trip. The difference now is life stage: what would have been an enormous ask with a young family in his twenties is achievable in his forties with teenagers who can manage without him for two and a half weeks. The trip exists because of a single conversation. About a year ago, Jonathan's wife Jackie told him she could see something was wrong and that he needed to do something about it. What came out of that conversation was a plan: get to England, do something big, and train for it. A year later he's roughly forty pounds lighter, knows he can walk long distances because he has, and says he's been happier this year than he's ever been — before even setting foot on the trail. Two sponsors made it happen. Macs Adventure — a self-guided walking and cycling specialist — planned and booked the entire trip, which is what made it financially possible in the first place. SplashMaps, the fabric map company Jonathan has been a fan of for a decade, came in last May to sponsor the forthcoming ten-episode podcast series, and has commissioned a special Hadrian's Wall map for the Challenge Series in collaboration with Anglotopia. The Macs Adventure app is the centerpiece of the self-guided model. It holds the full itinerary, all hotel and booking details, day-by-day route overviews, downloadable offline GPS mapping, weather, luggage transfer information, and — Jonathan's favorite feature — tips left by other walkers who have done the same stage. Because of it, the treasured Ordnance Survey maps and guidebooks are staying home. Luggage transfer changes everything. Each morning the suitcase goes down to hotel reception by 9am and is moved to the next hotel, meaning Jonathan only carries a day pack with camera, laptop, microphones, water and snacks. This is also why he's traveling carry-on only for the entire two and a half weeks. The route runs Wallsend → Heddon-on-the-Wall → Corbridge → Chollerford → Once Brewed → Gilsland → Haytongate → Carlisle → Bowness-on-Solway, over ten days. Jonathan is walking east to west specifically for the experience of walking out of a city into open countryside — an idea that came directly from the Quintin Lake and Macs Adventure guide episodes. "Day Zero" is the smart move. Rather than face a fifteen-mile first day, Jonathan is arriving in Newcastle a day early, collecting his Hadrian's Wall passport at Segedunum in Wallsend, and walking the first flat five city miles back to his hotel — leaving a more manageable ten miles for day one proper. He notes that even ten miles will be the longest single-day walk of his life. He's borrowing a tradition from the Wainwright Coast to Coast. Walkers there dip their toes in the North Sea at the start and the Irish Sea at the finish. Since the Hadrian's Wall Path doesn't start at the sea, Jonathan is taking the Tyne & Wear Metro out to Tynemouth to dip his toes in the North Sea before beginning — and will do the same at Bowness-on-Solway if the tide is in. There is a great deal of content coming, and almost none of it will be published from the trail. A one-off Macs Adventure episode arrives in September, followed by the ten-part SplashMaps-sponsored series starting in October (after the six-part Jane Austen series in September). Expect two podcasts a week for the rest of the year, plus reels, mini-documentaries, articles, photography, a possible book, and possibly a revival of the Travels in Britain video series — which quietly accumulated half a million YouTube views over the years. The week after the walk is a trip in itself: the Settle & Carlisle railway line and the Ribblehead Viaduct, four days based in York including the National Railway Museum, a full day exploring Yorkshire and Castle Howard with Tim Barber from the Real Yorkshire Tours episode, then London for the Ceremony of the Keys, Buckingham Palace State Rooms and East Wing, the Wallace Collection's Churchill exhibition, a recording of next month's What's On in London from inside Emery Walker's House, and a celebratory dinner with Anglotopia's columnists. Soundbites "This is the last episode that I'm recording on home soil before I leave for Britain to walk the entire length of Hadrian's Wall. Or as I've been telling people who don't know what Hadrian's Wall is — I'm walking across England, quite literally, from coast to coast." — Jonathan opening the episode. "If you go deep into Anglotopia's archive, you can see the graveyard of my ambitions — all the times I tried to begin training for Hadrian's Wall and failed and never went and did it." — Jonathan on fifteen years of false starts. "We had a conversation that was basically life changing. It's the kind of conversation you can only have with somebody who's been your partner for twenty years." — Jonathan on the moment a year ago that set everything in motion. "If I had attempted to do this walk a year ago in the shape I was in a year ago, I probably would have ended up in a hospital somewhere in northern England, which would not have been good." — Jonathan on a year of training. "I'm actually not that interested in the history so much anymore. I'm interested in the walk." — Jonathan on how his relationship with Hadrian's Wall has shifted over the past year of research. "I'm looking forward to starting in a city and literally walking out of a city. I've never experienced that before. And then walking into the open countryside. There's a romance to it that I feel like is really appealing." — Jonathan on why he chose to walk east to west. "They were in the Durham area in a village called Shincliffe. This is the landscape they inhabited, and it's the landscape they left and came to North America and never went back to. So this is kind of me going back and understanding this landscape that they felt like they needed to leave." — Jonathan on the ancestral connection running underneath the walk. "I'm not going to do a few miles and then get on the bus and get to the next trailhead, because that's not doing it. I'll never be able to live with myself that I went through all of this to go do this and then I didn't do it all." — Jonathan on why he's taking the full ten days. "Thank you for talking to me a year ago and making me realize I needed to make some changes and needed to do this — because I have been the happiest I've ever been and I haven't even gone on the walk yet." — Jonathan's message to his wife Jackie. "If you've got something big you want to do, do it. You can just do things. So get on with it." — Jonathan's closing thought before departure.

A smart panel adds a few thousand dollars to an already expensive project, so Matt asks the awkward question straight out. Reynolds Holmes, VP of Product at SPAN, answers with a test: will you add an EV, a battery, a heat pump, or a new AC in the next ten years? If yes, he argues the future proofing pays for itself, and he explains why judging the decision on twelve months of old utility bills is backwards math. Matt also pushes on privacy, local API access, and what happens to your hardware if SPAN ever disappears.Watch the Undecided with Matt Ferrell episode, Why is Disney World Grinding Glass Into Sand? https://youtu.be/o5AeXRChgVQ?list=PLnTSM-ORSgi7uzySCXq8VXhodHB5B5OiQChapters:00:00: Intro02:49: Reynold's Holmes Interview47:13: FeedbackWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evNiSMCU0lgSupport the show directly: https://stilltbd.fm/join/Audio version of the podcast: https://stilltbd.fmYouTube version of the podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@stilltbdYouTube membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-aWB84Bupf5hxGqrwYqLA/joinGet in touch: https://stilltbd.fm/contact/Follow us on:Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@mattferrellBluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/mattferrell.bsky.socialUndecided with Matt Ferrell: https://www.youtube.com/@undecidedtechnology Hosted on Acast.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode This week, we are kicking off a brand-new series about the undecided man. There is a core truth you must understand: a man who decides in advance never negotiates with the storm. If you do not have principles to guide your decisions, you aren't free—you are just up for grabs for whoever or whatever wants to steal your attention.When you live without deciding in advance, you pay a catastrophic price. I break down the four main ways indecision is quietly destroying your family, your business, and your leadership: Every rule you bend in the moment: When you avoid difficult conversations because you're worried about ruining a friendship or because you like someone, you will pay the price. Leaders who bend the rules for people they like lose respect and build a destructive environment. Standards must be based on facts and logic, not feelings. Every choice you make on a feeling: True integrity means keeping the rules the exact same for everybody—rooted in honesty, uncompromising belief in God, peace, freedom, and family structure. It doesn't matter how close our relationship is; if you step outside those principles, the standard does not bend. Every lesson you refuse to name: I was recently talking with my CFO about an interesting business dynamic we went through, and I was blown away by the total lack of awareness and refusal to name the lessons in what happened. If you don't sit back and name your lessons, you cannot learn through them. Every mistake you excuse again: When you constantly justify and excuse your mistakes, you create a loop. If you don't break it, their loop eventually becomes your lived reality. Stop negotiating with the storm. Warriors Rise!

One five-minute scene made Matt sit up: a man flatly refuses to accept he carries a deadly disease, and it feels ripped from 2026. Matt and Sean talk about the accidental anti-vax parable buried in Star Trek TOS Season 3, Episode 20, "The Way to Eden." Space hippies hijack the Enterprise chasing paradise, and one man's denial of the science reads very differently today. So is this clunker secretly ahead of its time?

Matt and Sean talk about the rare late-season bright spot in Star Trek TOS Season 3, Episode 21, "The Cloud Minders." After weeks of episodes that dragged, this one finally feels like real Trek again. They pick apart why it works, where it still limps, and what a bigger budget might have done for the back half of a struggling season 3.

Matt and Sean talk about the possession horror hiding inside Star Trek TOS Season 3, Episode 18, "The Lights of Zetar." An alien energy takes over Lieutenant Mira Romaine, and the creepy voice, the floating body, and the "you can't have her back, she's ours" menace feel pulled straight from a 1960s Hammer horror film.

This year's elections in Israel are lining up to be among the most consequential, and notably the first election since the Hamas attack and massacre. Israelis are in deep introspection about the personalities, the parties, and the policies that are most important this year perhaps more than ever. Many Israelis are confused, undecided about who to vote for, either shifting from a party they previously supported or looking to the emergence of new parties with new people leading voices for change. Whatever the outcome is, the process leading up to the election scheduled for October will not be boring. Join this panel, the first in a series, to understand what Israeli voters are thinking.

Most insurance producers spend their entire careers trying to fit in. They use the same scripts, wear the same suits, and pitch the same spreadsheets. But here is the hard truth: if you look like everybody else, you will be overlooked. In a crowded market, people pay a premium for scarcity.In this solo episode, I share my personal journey from being a "fat kid" in Size Husky jeans to a pro baseball player and, ultimately, a founder. I break down the mental trap of how the fear of judgment, comparison, and failure kills more insurance books than the competition ever could. We discuss the 20-60-20 Rule of prospect psychology, the four pillars of the Brand Authority Blueprint, and why elite producers measure themselves against the best version of themselves rather than their peers.

Jonathan Conricus has returned from a short North American speaking tour and joined me on Sunday evening to take a close look at where things stand with America and Iran. It is challenging to keep up and even more difficult to decode the often-conflicting messages issued by the main protagonists: the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. We get into the possible responses that may come from the parties and the implications for the region and the world. Who is running Iran these days and making decisions? Unclear but we have a pretty good idea. Will Iran act on its threats to impose taxes on all maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz? How about their latest initiative - to tax all data passing through internet cables that are laid at the bottom of the Persian Gulf? Or - maybe they will sever the cables and disrupt global commerce? So many possibilities and we get into them all. Why is Iran attacking the UAE so consistently and hard? And why is the UAE not responding? Oh - and we also spend a bit of time marveling at the tendency of western media to accept the “spin” coming out of Iran, pretty. much unquestioningly.This pod was recorded on Sunday night, but it is current as of 10 am EST on Tuesday. At the end of the episode I include a short clip of Conricus speaking on Monday to media. He addresses America's rejection of the Iranian response to the most recent U.S. proposal to…..formalize the ceasefire? End the war? This became public after we recorded on Sunday night. It never stops……Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivJonathan Conricus is a senior fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington D.C.-based think tank.

46% Thomas Massie, 40% Ed Gallrein, 14% Undecided — that's where Kentucky political insider and constitutional attorney Chris Wiest says the Thomas Massie vs. Ed Gallrein 4th Congressional race is currently polling.He joins me to discuss where the Senate race currently stands and whether Daniel Cameron has a lane to victory. We also break down the 4th Congressional District and what has happened — and what will happen — in the final two weeks. We took a few texts from live listeners.
Forty percent undecided with early voting days away is not a “settling” primary, it's a scramble. We walk through the latest Albuquerque Journal poll in the New Mexico Republican governor race and explain why the usual rules shift when nobody has enough money to “drop the hammer.” From Albuquerque name ID to regional splits, we map what actually moves votes in a low-information statewide primary.Then we get specific about messaging. We react to Doug Turner's polished introduction ad, Duke Rodriguez's crime ad, and the fresh wave of attacks via PAC mailers and campaign texts. We also talk candidly about endorsements, why we don't treat them as magic, and what a smart late-game strategy should look like when time is short and attention is scarce.The back half of the show pulls lessons from beyond New Mexico. We break down Spencer Pratt's surprising Los Angeles mayor ad and what it teaches about emotional connection, shift to Iran and the oil pressure strategy that may be working even as politics and gas prices complicate the story, and hit the Spirit Airlines meltdown through the lens of competition, mergers, and airfare prices. We close with a data-driven look at how millennial dads spend more time with their kids than past generations, plus a quick family trip update, listener mail, and game camera moments with elk and bears.

© Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com On our political radar this week… The Trump Retribution Parade continues as his Department of Payback indicts James Comey for posting a picture of sea shells on social media. If that doesn’t work, they could try claiming the 6-foot-8 Comey's height poses an imminent threat to the safety of the President. New polling from the Detroit Chamber shows “Undecided” remains the leader in Michigan Democrats' battle for the U.S. Senate nomination. There's a new controversy in that race, with long-ago Tweets from Mallory McMorrow coming back to haunt her. Among Republicans, John James continues to lead Perry Johnson, Mike Cox, and the rest of the field. The one no-contest race: Jocelyn Benson has a 58-point lead in the race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. The US Supreme Court has effectively repealed the last remnants of the Voting Rights Act, setting the stage for a possible new round of partisan gerrymanders. It comes as the last four black Republicans in Congress retire, leaving the GOP with the prospect of no black House members in 2027. The impact goes beyond the U.S. House of Representatives. In Michigan, it effectively eliminates majority-minority as a criterion for Michigan's Citizens Independent Redistricting Commission when it draws future state legislative district maps – quite possibly before the 2028 elections. The Donald Trump narcissism parade continues to grow. The latest: His snarling mug will now appear on commemorative U.S. passports, although Trump-free passports will continue to be available. And King Charles presented him with the ship's bell from the World War II submarine HMS Trump. One ominous sign: that ship was sold off and broken up for scrap in August 1971. In response to the war of words over election integrity, Secretary of State Benson has announced that 2.1 million outdated voter registrations have been canceled since 2019 or are in the cancellation process. For the first time ever, this includes over 180,000 dormant registrations of people who haven't voted in a single election in the last 20 years or longer. Control of the state Senate will be decided Tuesday when voters in Michigan's 35th Senate District will decide whether Democrat Chedrick Greene or Republican Jason Tunney will represent them for the rest of the year in Lansing. The district includes Bay, Midland and Saginaw counties. The Democrats are heavily favored to win and maintain control of the Senate. The quote of the week comes from The Bulwark's Tim Miller: We're in the Fat Elvis era of the Trump presidency. A note on the passing of Senator Don Riegle. First elected to the U.S. House from Flint in 1966, he served 5 terms and then 3 terms in the Senate, where he succeeded the legendary Phil Hart. He was one of the few people ever elected to Congress from both parties, switching from Republican to Democrat in protest of the Vietnam War and the corruption of the Nixon administration. We also lost a friend of this podcast, former Detroit News reporter and later Department of Justice lawyer Jim Mitzelfeld. Jim and his reporting partner Eric Freedman won a Pulitzer Prize for their uncovering of a million-dollar corruption scandal in the state House Fiscal Agency. Jim died of melanoma a day short of his 65th birthday. Joining the conversation this week is President of End Citizens United, Tiffany Muller. Mark and Walt Sorg talked with Tiffany Muller. She simultaneously leads the affiliated groups Let America Vote, and the End Citizens United/Let America Vote Action Fund – organizations dedicated to reversing what many consider one of the worst rulings of the Supreme Court in the last century which opened the floodgates for dark money funding of political campaigns. Since joining ECU, Tiffany has helped grow the group from a start-up to a nationwide organization with more than 4 million members and 1 million grassroots donors.

On this week's Saturday show, Mike delivers a double-dose of Iran-focused analysis, starting with a sharp critique of the Western media's bizarre framing of assassinated Iranian leader Ali Larijani as a "pragmatic" peacemaker rather than an active enemy combatant. Then, we open the vault to revisit June 2019, unpacking the chaotic fallout after President Trump abruptly called off a retaliatory strike on Iran, and demonstrating how bluster and impatience can easily drag the U.S. into the dangerous territory of an "undecided war."
