Statewide, Washington needs to build 55,000 new homes per year to house new residents. The state is currently producing just 75% of that. That makes housing expensive... and it’s not just Washington state facing a long-term housing shortage. For years, Americans have been begging politicians to do something about the high cost of housing buying an adequate place to live. In late June, something happened that almost never happens in Washington, D.C.—Republicans and Democrats came together to pass a major bill aimed at unlocking the housing supply. The bill is called the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, and it just became law over the weekend. Some lawmakers are calling this bill the most consequential housing reform in decades. On today's episode, we look at what it can really deliver. Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

For this episode, let's revisit a strategy skills classic interview with an experienced founder, leader, and thinker across a variety of domains, Rick Walker. In this episode, Rick walks us through his leadership journey, how he built his first company in his 20's, the lessons he learned across multiple domains, and how he was able to do multiple things successfully, simultaneously. He also shared his views about fear, pride, faith, religion, and ethics in relation to leadership and business. Rick Walker scaled his first company to 400 employees when he was 26, and simultaneously, as Chairman, scaled a 53-country international nonprofit from 800 to 2,100 team members, simultaneously while helping his hometown of Houston attract over $5 Billion in job-creation investments. Rick's volunteer service also includes stints as a Director of a college in the middle east and Chairman of a $250 Million charitable foundation. His 3:30 AM wake-up call helps fit everything in.  Rick hosts a podcast to help multi-domain leaders learn well - and has interviewed friends, who also happen to be world-class leaders, such as billionaires, musicians, members of the President's Cabinet, US Senate, US Congress, and great thinkers. The podcast is hosted inside a 13,000-square-foot mansion, which was the former party mansion of a Fortune 500 CEO, which Rick restored and uses for his family office, charitable events, and podcasts.  Rick lives in Houston with his wife and 3 girls, where he spends much of his time serving alongside the best team members in his commercial real estate private equity firm.  Claim your free gift: Free gift #1 McKinsey & BCG winning resume www.FIRMSconsulting.com/resumePDF Free gift #2 Breakthrough Decisions Guide with 25 AI Prompts www.FIRMSconsulting.com/decisions Free gift #3 Five Reasons Why People Ignore Somebody www.FIRMSconsulting.com/owntheroom Free gift #4 Access episode 1 from Build a Consulting Firm, Level 1 www.FIRMSconsulting.com/build Free gift #5 The Overall Approach used in well-managed strategy studies www.FIRMSconsulting.com/OverallApproach Free gift #6 Get a copy of Nine Leaders in Action, a book we co-authored with some of our clients: www.FIRMSconsulting.com/gift

US President Donald Trump made headlines this week at the Nato summit in Ankara by declaring an end to all sanctions against Turkey, paving the way for the sale of the F-35 stealth fighter jet to the alarm of Greece and Israel. 'We are going to be taking the sanctions off; it's time to do that, OK. We don't want to sanction friends; it's very simple,' declared Trump to the international media, sitting next to his host, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Trump lifts Turkey sanctions Trump was referencing the sanctions imposed on Turkey after Ankara acquired the Russian S-400 missile defence system. This move led to Turkey being barred from purchasing the American F-35 stealth fighter. Washington argued the deal jeopardised sensitive technology. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned any sale of F-35 jets to Turkey, warning it would adversely affect the balance of power in the region. Summit host Turkey eyes major weapons deals with NATO allies 'We are in a crisis between Israel and Turkey,' warns Gallia Lindenstrauss of Tel Aviv's Institute for National Security Studies. 'I still would not characterise them as enemy states,' added Lindenstrauss, 'But the threat perception in both countries is growing, and there's a security dilemma evolving between the two countries. What each one thinks it's only doing for its defence is perceived by the other country as offensive.' Turkey is pushing hard for the immediate delivery of six F-35s it has already paid for. Yet despite Trump's promises, the shadow of Turkey's S-400 missile system purchase still looms large: 'This is not a political decision; that is actually a legal question,' claims Ozgur Unluhisarcikli, head of the Ankara office of the German Marshall Fund. Unluhisarcikli is referring to the US National Defense Authorization Act, which prohibits the sale of the F-35 until Turkey relinquishes 'possession' of the S-400. 'He (Trump) will, one way or another, need Congress's approval, and this is what Israel and Greece are trying to prevent,' said Unluhisarcikli. However, Turkish and international media reported on Friday that Ankara will sell the S-400s to the United Arab Emirates. Moscow, which reportedly has a veto on any resale of the missile, has reacted cautiously. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov described the issue as 'extremely sensitive' and said they were in talks with Ankara. F-35 sale faces resistance If Ankara manages to sell the S-400, it still faces headwinds in securing the F-35 jet. Netanyahu is reportedly preparing to visit Washington this month, where he's expected to ramp up his campaign against any F-35 sale to Turkey. The Israeli ambassador in Washington has also been in talks with Greek and Cypriot counterparts, forging a united front against Ankara. Greece and Cyprus share Israel's concerns, having their own disputes with Turkey. Aaron Stein, president of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, a US think tank, predicts a tough fight for Ankara. 'This is about politics, and the politics of Turkey in the US Congress remains sour and not very good,' warns Stein. 'There are vested interest groups — the Israelis, the Greeks and others — who don't want to see an F-35 sale to Turkey and are pushing hard against it.' Turkey's mediator role in the Ukraine war faces growing US pressure Time is also an enemy of Ankara, warns Stein, with looming November Congressional midterm elections. 'Even if you get some movement on this (sale of F-35s), you will probably see a change of power in Congress, with the new government seated in January. So there is no pathway, in my opinion, for the F-35 to get through,' predicts Stein. Before departing the Nato summit, Trump seemed to soften his stance on the F-35 sale, saying he was inclined to sanction the sale but hadn't totally made up his mind. However, Ankara might be content with Trump's symbolic backing. 'I don't believe that these are mere empty words; they are expressions of political will to find a solution to the S-400 problem and to bring Turkey to the very centre of the transatlantic alliance,' claims analyst Unluhisarcikli. 'In a matter of a couple of years, Turkey moved from its position as being basically contained by both the United States and the European Union, to becoming a key ally for NATO and for Europe's security,' he added. Greece and Turkey look to revive rapprochement amid Aegean tensions Erdogan may well savour this symbolic victory, especially since even if the F-35 sale moves forward, experts predict it would take years for the jets to be ready for action due to the need for pilot training and support infrastructure. By that time, Turkey hopes to have its own stealth jet, the Kaan, soaring through the skies.

The congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has increasingly taken on the appearance of political theater rather than a disciplined effort to uncover the full scope of Epstein's trafficking network. What began as a bipartisan promise to bring transparency to one of the most disturbing criminal cases in modern history has gradually devolved into a spectacle marked by partisan grandstanding, media soundbites, and chaotic hearings. Members of Congress have spent as much time arguing with one another and chasing headlines as they have examining the mountain of evidence tied to Epstein's operation. Witness lists have shifted unpredictably, subpoenas have been issued and contested in dramatic fashion, and committee members have often used hearings as opportunities to score political points rather than pursue methodical investigative work. The result has been an investigation that frequently looks less like a serious congressional probe and more like a stage for political performance.Critics argue that this circus-like atmosphere has undermined the credibility of the investigation and distracted from the core question of accountability for Epstein's crimes and the network that enabled him. Rather than presenting a unified effort to follow the evidence wherever it leads, the investigation has been plagued by conflicting narratives, procedural disputes, and public confrontations that generate headlines but little clarity. Victims' advocates and transparency groups have expressed frustration that the focus often drifts toward political drama instead of the systemic failures that allowed Epstein to operate for years. The chaotic nature of the hearings has also given skeptics ammunition to dismiss the entire process as partisan infighting rather than a legitimate search for truth. In the end, the spectacle threatens to obscure the very purpose of the investigation: establishing how Epstein's trafficking operation persisted for so long and why so many institutions failed to stop it.to contact me:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Today on The Experiment: Should SNAP benefits be used for junk food? Some in the US Congress think SNAP benefits should only be used for healthy food

Today, convicted sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is scheduled to sit for a deposition before the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as part of Congress's ongoing investigation into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his network. Lawmakers have arranged for Maxwell to appear—likely by videolink from prison—to answer questions about her role in Epstein's operations, her connections with powerful individuals, and related matters that have come to light after the release of millions of federal documents linked to the Epstein case. Committee members, including Representative Ro Khanna, outlined specific questions they intend to ask, spanning alleged co-conspirators, unindicted individuals, and high-profile figures with ties to Epstein's world.However, Maxwell's legal team has made clear she intends to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and will refuse to answer substantive questions during this deposition, effectively pleading the Fifth throughout the session rather than provide testimony. According to lawmakers, Maxwell plans to read a prepared statement at the outset and then decline to respond to individual inquiries—citing her constitutional privilege and concerns about jeopardizing ongoing legal matters, including a habeas petition challenging her conviction. This strategy means Congress may not get direct answers from her today, even as it pursues broader scrutiny of Epstein's activities and associations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell is set to plead the fifth as she appears before the US Congress board investigating Jeffrey Epstein today | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

How hostile is the solar system for human exploration?   The Mars environment presents many challenges to human survival and long-term residence. In addition to radiation, unbreathable atmosphere, and dust storms, surviving alien microorganisms can present a health risk.   The US Congress has directed NASA to plan for a human mission to Mars. A critical element of the planning is to ensure the health and safety of astronauts travelling to, working on, and returning from the Red Planet.   Join Tony Darnell, Harley Thronson and Alberto Conti as they explore with Arnauld Nicogossian (George Mason University), Catharine A. Conley (NASA Planetary Protection Officer) and Charles Doarn (University of Cincinnati) the challenges of living and working on Mars.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

The memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran was signed last week, but was never going to be the end of the war. Negotiating is needed to reach a final peace.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From March 2026. Today's 2 topics: - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Tracie Beuden was observing with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona in the constellation of Perseus when she found 2026-AA, the first asteroid of 2026. Asteroid hunters are trying to track Tracie's discovery with our number on it far enough in advance so humans could give it a tiny nudge and make it miss Earth.   - Humans can mitigate the damage done by the impact of an asteroid given a sufficient lead time. In 1998, the US Congress mandated NASA to detect and track 90% of the 1 km sized asteroids capable of effecting local mass destruction as well as global disruption of agriculture and other human activities. This goal has been accomplished. In 2005 Congress extended the mandate to require NASA to detect and track 90% of the 140-m asteroids capable of destroying a large metropolitan area.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Viva Hammer is a fifth generation Australian who moved to New York after finishing law school. She served as a lawyer in the private sector and then at the US Treasury and in the US Congress. She is a partner in a DC law firm and holds academic positions at Brandeis University and the Australian National University.  She has been interviewing Orthodox parents of large families for 20 years in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and Israel and has published and spoken all over the world on her findings. In this episode we discuss a wide range of related issues, including the average number of children in the Orthodox community; how and why this figure has dramatically changed in the last 50 years; how the changing nature of what it means to be Orthodox has contributed to the change in fertility measures; the growing incidence of family planning, use of birth control and halachic views relating to birth control, including its growing permissibility; how Orthodox Jewish family growth had become so vastly different from what is seen in fertility rates worldwide; whether and how marriage issues could affect Orthodoxy as a high-fertility society; and more.

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!

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.

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.
