Jeremy Zakis reports on the unprecedented rainfall sweeping across Australia, driven by a super El Niño cycle interacting with the Indian Ocean Dipole. South Australia and Adelaide experienced the heaviest downpours, breaking monthly rainfall records in a single day, while Sydney's infrastructure coped with several inches of rain. Victoria and Melbourne were largely spared due to the Great Dividing Range acting as a barrier. Zakis warns that weekly spring rains are highly unusual and threaten to fuel rapid forest undergrowth, which could dry out and create a dangerous bushfire hazard during future droughts. (10)

Popok reports on Rupert Murdoch, once Trump's ally through ownership of Fox News, has not only won Trump's defamation case against him, but has turned on Trump and has his Wall Street Journal Editors turn on Trump for his economic insanity of attacking Canada. Canada is now literally at "war" with the US on trade, and that's a bad thing for Trump's political fortunes and the American economy.

Jeremy Zakis, Part One: Zakis discusses the unprecedented 4°C Pacific anomaly—ocean warming not seen in 150 years—its disruption of global trade at the Panama Canal, and the unseasonal heavy rains hitting Sydney rather than a baking heat dome. He explains the science of a wet El Niño: how moisture from the Indian Ocean dipole is driving these downpours, and the meteorological trend showing Australian El Niños shifting wetter over the last century, potentially linked to climate change. Zakis then turns to the looming fire threat—how these heavy rains trigger rapid undergrowth that soon dries out into highly flammable bushfire fuel—and Sydney's strategy of preparing containment lines and fire breaks around inhabited areas.

When your criminal indictment and decision to prosecute against a political critic of Trump, Former FBI Dir.

Bradley Bowman warns of the unprecedented military cooperation between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, documented in 616 instances of security collaboration. Russia has transferred advanced technology, such as Su-35 fighters and submarine quieting techniques, to China to secure support for its war in Ukraine. Simultaneously, Iran provides drones and targeting data to help Russia strike Ukrainian targets and U.S. forces in the Middle East. North Korea has supplied thousands of soldiers and munitions to the European front. Bowman emphasizes that the U.S. defense industrial base is currently a shadow of its World War II capacity. (4)

Arthur Herman reframes the Gilded Age not as an era of greed, but as a period of unprecedented opportunity and connectivity driven by the railroad. James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway fostered regional prosperity and negotiated fairly with Native American tribes. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison's relentless competitiveness and "restless mind" led to the electrification of the nation and the invention of the phonograph, inspiring future generations of founders like Elon Musk.

Most leaders are asking the same question about AI: Will it make their teams more productive—or slowly erode the very skills they're trying to build? In this special episode, as part of the recent HBR Leadership Summit 2026, University of Pennsylvania's Angela Duckworth says her long-standing research on grit—and the fact the most successful people aren't simply persistent, they stay committed to long-term goals while adapting their tactics as the world changes—is more relevant than ever in the age of generative AI. Rather than replacing human capability, she explains, AI can become a powerful coach that accelerates learning, if people treat it as something to learn from, not simply something that does the work for them. Duckworth's new book is Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best.

Popok reports that the Trump DOJ as of today continues to take the position that Todd Blanche's 1 paragraph "amendment" to the phony settlement agreement between Trump and his own IRS and DOJ, provides Trump and his family and associates with immunity from any future tax audit liability or criminal prosecution, relying on a distortion of Judge Williams' scathing ruling against them. Blanche has tried to get out in front of it by telling Senate Democrats that he is a victim of a "hatchet" job by Judge Williams!

In breaking news, Popok reports on fellow independent journalist and commentator Katie Phang requesting that Judge Sullivan find AG Nominee Todd Blanche in Contempt of Court and fine him $1,000 a day for violating court orders requiring the production of certain Epstein Files. Popok reports that in the last 18 hours, Blanche, up for confirmation as AG, has lost his shepherd and protector in the process, Sen. Lindsey Graham, got branded a fraudster by a federal judge and referred for bar discipline, and now is on the likely receiving end of contempt findings by another federal judge.
