Nightlife takes a deeper perspective than just the news with what is happening in America with Bruce Wolpe, Senior fellow at the US Studies Centre, formerly with the Democratic staff in the US Congress in President Obama's first term.   

College sports has become a runaway freight train in recent years. Money and greed (as always) have emerged as the primary villains.  Everyone involved wants more. Several years ago, the NCAA began to allow student-athletes to transfer schools as often as the average student.  Prior to that, athletes were required to sit-out one full year after transferring schools.  It was supposed to encourage college athletes to think hard prior to making the decision to transfer.  Colleges also claimed that this was done to give the student-athletes enough time to acclimate themselves to the academic rigors of their new college environment. R-i-g-h-t! Today’s new NCAA Transfer Portal is becoming busier by the year Upwards of 50% of some sport’s athletes are putting their names in the Transfer Portal.  They are in search of more money and playing time elsewhere. These athletes want the right to transfer as easily as all other college students.  The processing of transferring by athletes seems to take place at blazing speed, though. An average college student has to prepare an application, supply academic performance (grades) along with a mountain of paperwork prior to being admitted as a transfer student at most major universities.  The process usually takes several months. Wouldn’t it be nice to know how (and why) these “ASAP” Transfer Portal college athletes get their paperwork processed by their new universities within just a matter of days or weeks? Then there’s the new wheel of fortune game called Name, Image, and Likeness The federal courts have allowed college athletes to be compensated based on their theoretical NIL value. The original concept of NIL sounded downright noble.  Our theoretical college football player simply wanted to have a little spending money to be able go out and enjoy an occasional burger and shake down at Arnold’s. Within years, the compensation being offered to athletes for their (cough) NIL rights has exploded.  Some players are receiving offers of hundreds of thousands of dollars from top college football, basketball, baseball, and even softball programs. The athletic conferences say they don’t like this, either.  However, they spend much of their time renegotiating television and media contracts to generate even more cash to pad their own pockets. That’s why the College Football Playoffs have risen from two teams to four to 12 today.  The conferences are battling with each other today trying to expand the football playoffs from 12 to 24 teams.  Why? More television money, of course. The athletic conferences, schools, administrators, coaches, players, and, of course, the media companies are focused on more and more money for college athletics.  The former systems are broken.  No one is showing much in the way of self restraint or leadership in attempting to resolve growing problems. Who is going to help control this mess?  Did someone say “Congress?” Of course!  Let’s ask America’s legislative body to intervene since the college sports community cannot seem to regulate its fast-growing greed. We know that the 435 House and 100 Senate members rarely agree on anything. Well, they do seem to find enough votes (usually after midnight) in late December to raise their own pay.   They won’t object when a motion for a multi-week recess is raised, either. Heaven forbid if any member of the House or Senate dares to propose a vote concerning (gasp!) term limits. So, why should anyone believe that the US Congress will be able to regulate college sports? Over the past year, the US House of Representatives has tried and recently failed.  A bill entitled the “Student Compensation through Rights and Endorsements” Act was floated.  The “SCORE” Act slithered its way through the halls of Congress at snail-like speed.  The House of Representatives couldn’t even muster enough support to force a full floor vote on the measure a few weeks ago.  That bill is now officially dead. But never fear!  The US Senate wants to “Protect” college sports! Move over, House of Representatives!  A bipartisan bill drafted by Senators Ted Cruz of Texas (R) and Maria Cantwell of Washington (D) finally emerged this past week.  It is now being contemplated by the extremely deliberative (slow moving) body called the US Senate. This bill is called the “Protect College Sports Act of 2026.”  You can read it by clicking here. The 111-page document was introduced in the Senate on Wednesday, June 3. Former University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban and several other heavyweights of college sports testified before the Senate in support of the measure.  The President is also in favor of the proposal.   Advocates believe there is a chance that it could pass by August 1, 2026.  That is less than 60 days after it was introduced to the Senate. Personally, I think there is a higher probability of seeing Charlie Brown finally kick that football that Lucy is holding this fall! Let’s review several of the primary portions of the Protect College Sports Act of 2026: Name, Image, and Likeness – The agreement would serve to put NIL under federal jurisdiction.  That is needed, because many states have already implemented a variety of different enforcement provisions and loopholes.  The proposed federal legislation would require NIL agents for athletes to be registered with the government and cap their fees at 5%.  Athletes must disclose their NIL compensation above $600 per year. Medical coverage for athletes – Colleges would be required to pay for out-of-pocket medical costs for athletes for five years following the athlete’s final competition for the school. Transfers – Each athlete would receive one transfer without losing athletic eligibility.  Subsequent transfers may be considered in the event of coaching changes, discontinued sports at a school, and for graduate students. Academics – The legislation requires athletes to complete their eligibility within five years beginning with the earlier of (a) high school graduation or (b) turning age 19.  Exemptions would exist for military service, religious missions, etc. Coaching changes – The Senate proposal would prohibit college head coaches from leaving their school prior to the end of the season to coach, recruit for, or otherwise take over at a different FBS (large division) program. Yes, this is now being called the Lane Kiffin provision. Local television for football and basketball teams – There must be at least one free local television broadcast outlet televising football and basketball games for major universities within their local market. Anti-trust protection television rights for schools and conferences – This would afford college athletics to function in the same way in which the NFL, NBA, and other national professional sports leagues operate.  However, at least 75% of the current FBS schools must sign-off on this provision for it to become effective. Bars major athletic conferences ($1 billion or more in annual revenues) from merging or acquiring each other – The Senate legislation wants to preserve and promote regional rivalries and stop major universities from changing athletic conference affiliations. College football season must end by January 8 – This provision is intended to allow for a smoother transition for students (and transfers) prior to the start of the spring semester. What I like: Restricting athletic transfers to only one time is a winner. This will keep players and the coaches from shopping around so much.  Instead, there should be increased focus on player development (and, perhaps, academics).   The proposed provision for medical coverage for athletes continuing for five years following their college participation seems like a solid idea.  The schools earn revenue from athletic competitions.  They should be required to provide catastrophic insurance coverage for athletes who are injured while playing for the school. A hard cap on five years of college eligibility is also very smart.  There is a significant physical and mental difference between an 18-year old football player coming out of high school and a 24-year old who may have been granted a sixth year of eligibility. The football season ending by January 8 is a definite winner!  Cut the regular season to 11 games if you need more time for the playoffs. (Yes, I realize that won’t happen) Local “free” television coverage for local teams sounds good. This is what the NFL does during Monday Night Football games on ESPN.  The local market’s ABC affiliate generally provides coverage for viewers who are not ESPN subscribers.  When considering this provision for college football, would all Louisiana cities not named Baton Rouge also be considered “local” for LSU football games?  Taxpayers in other Louisiana cities would also like to watch LSU (the state’s flagship public university) football games on their local TV station.  Expect a battle over this issue. I’m not so sure about… Many people are asking why we haven’t dropped the entire NIL charade and consider the players to be paid employees of the university.  The primary authors of the Senate legislation intentionally omitted this issue.  That’s because the recent House legislation dared to address this thorny issue. Arguments on the subject caused the entire bill to go down in flames. Perhaps the Supreme Court will eventually decide the matter. Another roadblock will be in getting 75% of the current 136 member FBS (major college) group of football schools to agree on the anti-trust protection issues. The Big Ten Conference and SEC (much like the House and Senate) can’t seem to agree on just about anything in recent years. With regard to college coaches leaving for other schools, shouldn’t there also be a provision that coaches cannot be fired prior to the end of the team’s season, too? I think the minimum NIL amount for reporting purposes should be raised from $600 per year to $1,200.  That would be only $100/month for an athlete.  Spend more time reviewing the larger NIL transactions. Finally, I believe that most rational adults would prefer not having the federal government getting involved in issues such as this.  Can you imagine the resulting circus of governmental regulatory requirements and exorbitant administrative costs to implement this bill if signed into law? The Senate deliberation of the proposed Save College Sports Act of 2026 might serve as a much needed wake-up call right now. The major athletic conferences should voluntarily come together ASAP to address and implement several of this bill’s best provisions. They could end the push for unwanted federal oversight and regulation by simply taking this matter into their own hands.   Hey, Big Ten and SEC!  It’s time to lead and end your petty turf wars before the Senate addresses these problems for you.  Time to get to work!

For review:1. Raúl Castro, Cuba's low-profile former president and revolutionary guerrilla, appeared in public for the first time since being indicted by the United States for his alleged role in the 1996 downing of two civilian aircraft, official video released Saturday showed.2. The United States and Iran exchanged fire overnight Friday amid a fragile ceasefire as American officials stepped up preparations for potential nuclear negotiations, including consultations this week with experts who could help determine the fate of Tehran's enriched uranium stockpile.The US military said it carried out strikes on Iranian radar sites in what it described as a defensive action after Iran launched four attack drones toward the Strait of Hormuz.3. The United States will make Iranian assets available to Gulf allies to support rebuilding and repairs for future damage caused by Iran, a source familiar with the matter says.The US will also consider using those assets to support repairs for past damages, the source says, adding that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has directed a team to assess costs for damage already inflicted on Gulf allies by Iran.4. A plan developed by Israel and the Mossad intelligence agency to topple the Iranian regime could still succeed if given time, but it has not been carried out to completion due to the United States' decision in April to halt the war against the Islamic Republic, a former senior Mossad official told Channel 12 on Saturday. In any event, he insisted, the regime will fall sooner or later.5. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Iran Friday of using Lebanon as a “bargaining chip” in negotiations with the United States, and called on both Hezbollah and Israel to embrace diplomacy in a bid to end the fighting between them.6. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he does not see any point in meeting Volodymyr Zelensky after the Ukrainian leader requested face-to-face talks over ending the war between the two nations.7. In a rare moment of bipartisanship in the US Congress, the House tonight passed a package of Russian sanctions and military aid for Ukraine.House members voted 226-195 to pass the Ukraine Support Act, which authorizes $8 billion in military finance loans to Ukraine and extends the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative through 2027.8. Russia could attack a NATO country within four years according to western intelligence assessments, UK PM warned on Friday.9. The U.S. will sell Australia three in-service Virginia-class submarines, pivoting from the planned acquisition of one new and two in-service Virginias, the countries announced.

Nadia Marcinko, originally Marcinková, was born in Slovakia and met Jeffrey Epstein as an 18-year-old model. Later, she became a successful aircraft pilot. For seven years, she was Epstein's main girlfriend. And she's one of four women that US prosecutors named in a 2008 plea deal as his “potential co-conspirators”. But she's never been accused of any crime. And she's described herself a victim who was abused physically and psychologically by Epstein. Now, a committee of the US Congress is beginning to address the sensitive question of whether it's possible for someone to be both a victim and an accomplice, as it takes testimony from two of the “potential co-conspirators”, Epstein's former assistants Sarah Kellen and Lesley Groff.

King Charles III addressed the US Congress on April 28th, 2026 and it was a vocal masterclass in diplomacy. A video on social media I made about this went viral, and there were lots of requests for a deeper analysis - so here it is. In this episode, I break down more of the king's vocal techniques and explain how you can apply it to your own speaking. I cover emphasis. pace, pitch variation, gesture and intonation - and reveal the surprising psychology behind a surprise appearance of the rolled R! Words matter - but delivery matters more. The way you use your voice can completely transform how your message lands.

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing Shirley Chisholm. She was the first Black woman to be elected to the US Congress, she was the first Black candidate for a major-party when she ran for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, and was a major supporter and advocate for women's rights, social services, and racial justice.I think Shirley Chisholm is a very recognizable face but, unless you are a hardcore feminist and/or a history nerd, you may not know very much about her. And that's what I hope to resolve with this week's episode. I think we are all going to walk away from this week's episode with a lot of admiration and hope and pride. And even for those that are not super familiar with Shirley Chisholm, I am confident you will recognize this famous quote of hers – a quote that I genuinely live my life by. I really think it is my motto – and that is: “If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”Follow Hashtag History on Instagram @hashtaghistory_podcast for all of the pictures mentioned in this episode.Citations for all sources can be located on our website at www.HashtagHistory-Pod.com.

Securing Midterm ElectionsElections are compromised and must be secured before Midterms. It is upto We the People to get involved on local levels. Congress is not going tofix rigged elections for us. Guess why?Our current Congress will neither vote for term limits on themselves norrestore election integrity when rigged algorithms keep them in office whilethey complete selling out our Constitutional sovereignty to their globalistAgenda 2030/Great Reset/New World Order slave society agenda. Mindcontrol is key to their success.Deep in the Wash DC swamp among perpeTraitors, I was privy to their lackof concern for ‘elections' since they control the electronic voting machinesand minds of the voters through NLP, repetitive media narrative, andsocially engineered division.Knowledge is our defense against mind control, which is why censorshipcontinues to reign supreme.Following the money we clearly see who benefits from complicity inglobalist crimes against humanity including child sex trafficking/harvesting,blackmail ops, drugs both “legal” and illegal, bioengineered foods,chemicals sprayed in our skies, control of information and more. It isalways the same self-appointed self-anointed election-stealingperpeTraitors.Intelligence insiders often gain insight into levels and layers of governmentcorruption, how systems and agencies are structured to perpetuate it, andultimately what can be done about it. These individuals are exactly who weneed running for positions of leadership in US Congress, State legislatures,Governorships, Mayors, District Attorneys, School Boards. Judges andespecially Sheriffs.Yet because of what they know, these Intelligence insiders also real-eyesthat, until We the People take effective local action to clean up elections,more impact can be made behind the ‘seen' in clandestine ways.Mark Phillips was often encouraged to run for top political positions bothnational and local.Mark appreciated the requests, yet knew he could make more difference inwaking people up through staying focused on demands of our shared lifepurpose of exposing MK Ultra mind control, healing from it, and the dark,inhumane agenda behind it.Now that the Great Awakening has spread through Intelligencecommunities worldwide, more and more insiders are waking up ready torun for these high level Government positions. Congruently, awareness isinspiring positive change among the vast majority of the population who arealso waking up.Mid-term elections 2026 are pivotal, crucial, and necessary to positive,necessary change on all levels of our lives.So many were awake and aware 2016 that sheer numbers of u.s. overroderigged electronic algorithms in voting machines to vote for anyone that wasnot Hillary Clinton and her New World Order.PerpeTraitors who have been stealing elections for decades and using drugand human trafficking across open borders to fund their agenda did not seetheir defeat coming 2016. Desperately they fought to maintain powerthrough their controlled media voice, focusing their psy op assault oncharacter assassination of anyone standing for sovereignty.PerepTraitors went all in 2020 with mind control masked as a virus whileelections were blatantly stolen. In their frantic desperation, mistakes weremade waking even more people up from mind control.Rigged electronic voting machines and mind control must be fullyovercome before Midterm elections.Intelligence insiders know, like Mark Phillips knew, that it is up to each andevery one of u.s. to take effective action on local levels to impact election-stealing perpeTraitors nationally and globally.Spread the word on mind control and healing from it.Read full transcript at

One report says the US may deploy a hypersonic missile in the Middle East for the first time, as part of efforts to put pressure on Iran to reach a deal. This comes as a deadline passed for Donald Trump to secure authorisation from the US Congress to continue the war against Iran. US Defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth, argues President Trump does not have to comply with the War Powers Resolution because the cease-ire agreement reached with Iran paused the clock on any such obligation. Also: head of one of the world's biggest fertiliser manufacturers warns the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz could cost the world up to 10 billion meals a week. Russia deploys nearly 800 emergency workers in the Black Sea port of Tuapse, after it was hit by Ukrainian strikes for the fourth time in two weeks. Danish study suggests weight-loss drugs could help people with alcohol problems cut down on harmful drinking. New footage of security breach outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner shows the moment the gunman bursts through a checkpoint on the floor above the ballroom where President Trump and others were dining. Hundreds of protesters take to the streets of South Africa in a wave of anti-migrant demonstrations. British couple, Lindsay and Craig Foreman, speak to their family from inside Iran's notorious Evin prison. And researchers map the nose of a mouse for the first time, detailing the position of more than 1,000 smell receptors.

  A massive funding bill, expanded spying capabilities, and a king. These are all the things the US Congress had this week. Greg and Guest Host Jim Bennett were joined by US Rep. Celeste Maloy, who is in DC to tell us about the happenings of the week.

President Trump has called the bond between the US and the UK a friendship "unlike any other on Earth" at a state dinner attended by King Charles and Queen Camilla. Earlier in a historic address speech to Congress, King Charles praised NATO and said the UK-US partnership was more important than ever. We ask if these warm words can repair the two countries' relations. Also: The former FBI director, James Comey, has been charged with threatening the life of President Trump in a picture he posted on social media last year; Mali's ruler appears in public for the first time since insurgents tried to seize power; and we look at the impact of lab-grown diamonds on the wider diamond industry.

Big headlines, bigger conversations—this episode runs through a rapid-fire mix of global politics and celebrity tea, starting with King Charles III making waves with a “historic” speech tied to the U.S. Congress and what it signals about high-level diplomacy and public optics. From there, the show pivots into entertainment and culture, highlighting Mary J. Blige speaking proudly about being independent—framing it as a glow-up in ownership, control, and doing business on her own terms. The crew also tackles the internet’s favorite kind of clip: Ray J publicly sharing his body count, sparking the predictable swirl of reactions, jokes, side-eyes, and debates about oversharing and double standards in celebrity culture. And to top it off, Oprah Winfrey reportedly signing a multi-year deal with Amazon becomes a springboard for talk about power moves in streaming/media, what “big-name partnerships” mean right now, and why Oprah-level branding still shifts the whole room whenever she signs on the dotted line.

King Charles and Queen Camilla are on their four-day state visit to the United States. Today King Charles will address the US Congress. But at the same time, survivors of the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the family of one of his most prominent victims, Virginia Giuffre, have urged the King to meet them during his state visit. A round table featuring Epstein survivors is planned ahead of his meeting to Congress. Joining Chloe Tilley is India McTaggart, royal correspondent for the Telegraph.This week, a significant change to abortion law in England and Wales is expected to receive Royal Assent - meaning it will become law. An amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill will remove criminal liability for women who end their own pregnancies. But while supporters of the bill believe this is about preventing vulnerable women from being prosecuted, critics argue that it risks reducing safeguards and say the change hasn't had sufficient scrutiny. We hear from Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi and historian Dr Jessica Cox from Brunel University. Millions of Indians have been voting in elections across five states in a set of contests. We'll look at why the number of female voters in India has significantly increased in the last few decades - outnumbering male voters in the last general election - and how the female vote is changing politics in India.Single-use plastic waste was found on 97% of the beaches surveyed by the Marine Conservation Society in the UK and Channel Islands last year.
