Think you need to be an "alpha" to win? Nick Pell debunks the wolf-pack myth and reveals what actually earns respect here on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1375On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:An "alpha" is supposedly the dominant top dog — the leader who takes 90% of life's spoils while the lesser "betas" scrap for crumbs. But the whole pecking order traces back to a 1940s study of captive wolves crammed into a pen — the "wolf prison yard," not real pack life.The biologist who made "alpha" famous, L. David Mech, spent decades disavowing his own bestseller. The so-called alpha wolves aren't the toughest fighters who clawed their way up — they're just the parents. The pack defers to them because they bring the food.Humans didn't conquer the planet by bullying — we did it by cooperating. We're "obligate cooperators," self-domesticated apes who arguably bred aggression out of ourselves. Nobody builds a pencil, let alone a moon rocket, alone. Dominance is a liability, not a cheat code.Real influence runs on prestige, not dominance (a distinction from anthropologist Joseph Henrich). Fear makes people hide problems — think D-Day, when nobody dared wake Hitler, or Vietnam-era "fragging." Domineering bosses get avoided; competent ones get followed.Want to actually lead? Drop the dominance act and build competence instead. Lead by example, stay approachable so small problems reach you while they're still small, and treat people as collaborators rather than rivals. Prestige is freely given — and it's what makes people want to follow you.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Chris Cordani – Stockdale's military career alone would have been enough to secure his place in history. He became a naval aviator, flew numerous aircraft, served as a test pilot, and later commanded fighter squadrons. He was also present during one of the most consequential and controversial moments of the Vietnam era, the Gulf of Tonkin...

A talk with an Army Psychological Operations soldier about what military psy-op work really involves—and how different the reality is from popular ideas about mind control and secret manipulation of the public. We discuss his psy-op work in Afghanistan, why credibility and truth are usually much more persuasive and effective than deception, and fascinating historical operations involving surrender appeals, staged intelligence, and Vietnam's eerie “ghost tapes.” We also explore the legal and ethical limits on influencing Americans, how social media has blurred those boundaries, how foreign influence campaigns exploit political polarization, and why “PSYOP” has become an all-purpose label for conspiracy theories. Finally, we examine the red flags that can help you identify self-proclaimed-but-deceptive military-persuasion experts (like Chaes Hughes) who fabricate and exaggerate their credentials and experience to sell their psychology- and behavior-focused training and products.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Scott Gussin grew up in New York, lost his mother at seven years old in a moment that changed the direction of everything that followed, fell into selling weed and hash and LSD coming of age in the 1960s and 70s, and eventually built one of the most specific and most audacious international drug smuggling operations available — bringing hash from Morocco to the United States across a career that spanned thirty years before it finally ended. _____________________________________________ #crimestory #drugsmugglers #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to AG1 & HUNGRYROOT for sponsoring this episode: AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________ Buy Scott's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Gus-All-Years-Combined-Samson/dp/B0H34MTKSV _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick:  https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Roadblock with hash on board 00:37 Guest intro: Scott's story 00:57 Growing up in Portchester 01:21 Losing his mom at 7 03:37 A parade of housekeepers 06:59 The housekeepers get weird 08:03 Getting into weed at 15 10:42 Meeting Reuben and the LSD 13:58 Hash vs. weed explained 17:28 Pricing the product 20:00 Spotting 'heads' back then 22:45 Only two straight jobs 25:05 The ignorant law enforcement 26:18 Cops don't recognize hash 27:25 A trippy traffic stop 32:26 Acid buddy becomes a JW 37:23 After high school 38:18 Dodging the Vietnam draft 40:56 College for connections 44:40 Hitching with a pound of weed 46:16 The business mindset 47:42 Leaving college for California 48:09 Meeting Cassidy and the Morocco plan 50:47 The cocaine trip that wasn't 54:30 Selling the boat, new plan 57:03 Bringing Stella along 58:59 Buying the VW bus 01:01:39 Buying hash on the mountain 01:05:28 Driving with 44 pounds 01:07:09 Coming upon a roadblock 01:10:47 Getting past the roadblock 01:13:52 Setting up at the beach house 01:16:34 Building the secret stash bed 01:18:57 A month in Morocco 01:20:00 The sign to leave 01:22:45 The Moroccan customs search 01:27:20 The ferry and the dolphins 01:28:24 Easy entry into Spain 01:32:40 Cassidy's anger and laughter 01:33:46 Shipping the bus to Montreal 01:35:28 Swapping the bed in Canada 01:37:53 Crossing into the US with the bed 01:39:13 Selling the hash, big profits 01:43:36 Trust in the old days 01:44:29 Bust risks in Spain and Morocco 01:46:19 The failed second attempt 01:49:01 The near-disastrous boat trip 01:54:15 How long did the career last? 01:54:55 Back to New York, then Arizona 01:59:32 The Laguna Beach connection 02:02:20 Cowboy Neil's operation 02:04:41 The North County partnership 02:07:12 Weighing and distributing 02:09:00 The two-year plan 02:10:16 Thai stick and new markets 02:14:19 The big deal in Laguna 02:17:20 The gift suitcase 02:18:51 The DEA roadblock 02:21:17 Three hours of interrogation 02:25:00 The search comes up empty 02:27:24 Scared straight by the DEA 02:29:04 Overall earnings and taxes 02:32:59 The DEA's advice: leave California 02:36:41 Moving to Florida and new businesses 02:38:00 The mistake that ended it all _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Now available in Canada and the UK, too This week, Tom is joined by the property owner himself, Yannis Pappas, whose special Property Owner is on YouTube now and new episodes of History Hyenas with Chrissy D out every week. They open on the underrated power of a compliment from a Philadelphia homeless man, the tier list of who compliments best, and why "you're taller than I thought" both feels great and is a little insulting. From there it's El Chapo's vitamins and the corpses he lined his driveway with, Vlad the Impaler's welcome mat, which comic could start a cult, the CIA-adjacent Manson doc that Tom actually buys, the man who survived Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and a lone plane crash survivor who walked out of the fireball scrolling his phone. Plus RFK Jr.'s gag reflex, the bear he dumped in Central Park after a long day of falcon hunting, and whether autism is just humans upgrading for the AI age. Things get real when the guys compare notes on their dads one a Korean War lieutenant who said you can't pin a medal on a dead guy, and the other a Vietnam lieutenant who figured out at 72 that the war might have affected him. Then Tom introduces Yannis to the great Pastor Manning of Harlem, and the man goes off on jobs, doo doo, Doctor King, Jay-Z, Fat Joe, and one lesbo jihadist wife, and mayor with a free bus ride plan. Also: Kanye's catchiest work, some horrible or hilarious clips, street dentistry in India, and a free commercial for ATX Hood Driver. Enjoy!

Durante décadas, California buscó a uno de los asesinos seriales más escurridizos de Estados Unidos sin saber que el responsable había sido, precisamente, parte del sistema encargado de atraparlo. En este episodio de Leyendas Legendarias, conocemos la historia de Joseph James DeAngelo, posteriormente identificado como el Golden State Killer, un expolicía responsable de una larga serie de allanamientos, agresiones sexuales y asesinatos entre 1974 y 1986. Su conocimiento de los procedimientos policiales le permitió aprovechar las divisiones entre distintas jurisdicciones y mantenerse oculto durante décadas. Pero además de la investigación criminal, el episodio está lleno de las clásicas tangentes de Leyendas: nombres absurdos, matemáticas que salen horriblemente mal, un martillo robado, repelente para perros, un soborno de 20 dólares y hasta una farmacia que aparentemente está a punto de convertirse en panadería. 00:00:00 — Intro 00:02:00 — El Golden State Killer: el policía que aterrorizó California 00:10:00 — Los múltiples nombres del asesino 00:14:00 — La infancia de Joseph DeAngelo 00:19:00 — Vietnam y su entrenamiento 00:25:00 — El policía que podía investigar sus propios crímenes 00:31:00 — Los objetos frágiles y su modus operandi 00:38:00 — Cuando casi lo atrapan 00:41:00 — El asesino que se quedaba en las casas 00:46:00 — La doble vida de DeAngelo 00:51:00 — El martillo que terminó con su carrera 00:57:00 — El regreso del Night Stalker 01:00:00 — Los últimos asesinatos 01:27:00 — 40 años después: finalmente llega la justicia También puedes escucharnos en Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music o tu app de podcasts favorita.

In this episode of The John Fugelsang Podcast, guest host Joe Sudbay discusses the escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada, sparked by Prime Minister Mark Carney's bold retaliatory tariffs against American products. Joe reflects on the implications of this trade war and discusses the fallout from J.D. Vance's recent remarks mocking Canada during a campaign stop in Maine, emphasizing the importance of maintaining friendly relations with our northern neighbor.Next, Joe turns his attention to the troubling maneuvers of the Trump administration regarding mail-in voting, as the Supreme Court grants a request to freeze a district court injunction that could impact the upcoming elections. He analyzes the ongoing legal battles surrounding this issue, highlighting the potential consequences for voters and the integrity of the electoral process.Later, Joe welcomes Michael Lemmon, a Vietnam veteran and the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against Donald Trump's proposed monument in Washington, D.C. Michael shares his personal experiences and the motivations behind the lawsuit, emphasizing the importance of honoring the sacrifices of veterans and the integrity of national memorials.Then, Joe speaks with Gillian Brockell, a reporter covering ICE flights and third country removals. Gillian sheds light on the inhumane treatment of immigrants during deportation and the costly operations of ICE, revealing the systemic issues that perpetuate this cycle of suffering.And finally, Joe interviews Kelley Robinson. She's a trailblazing advocate and leader in the fight for human rights. As the President of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), she is the first Black, queer woman to hold this position. HRC is the largest civil rights organization in the United States, dedicated to achieving equality and liberation for LGBTQ+ individuals. With over 15 years of experience, Robinson has spearheaded numerous successful campaigns for LGBTQ+, racial, and gender equity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

My friend Bobby served as a Marine in Vietnam, and he told me something about his experience there that really got my attention. He said his assignment was doing electrical work on airplanes - which is not necessarily a front lines assignment. But there was a war going on all around them. So, when there was enemy activity, every soldier was trained to grab their weapon and be prepared to fight. Their bottom line assignment was summed up in four words, "every Marine - a rifle." I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "No Spectators In This Battle." Nobody is just support troops. Everybody's needed on the front lines. That's the strategy for the most important battle of all time - the battle for the souls of lost men and women that rages in every generation. God puts flesh-and-blood on that principle in a story in Numbers 32, beginning with vs. 1. It's our word for today from the Word of God. Here's the story. God has delivered the Jews from slavery in Egypt, led them through the wilderness, and now He's brought them to the banks of the Jordan River, the threshold of their Promised Land. Soon the battle for the land will begin. Even before entering, each of Israel's twelve tribes has been allotted a certain area of the land as their inheritance. That's on the west side of Jordan. On the east side of the Jordan, the Reubenites and Gadites "who had very large herds and flocks saw that the lands of Jazer and Gilead" - that's the lands right there where they are on the east side of the Jordan - "were suitable for livestock." Okay, so these guys who already have their land kind of. They come to Moses with an idea - a dumb idea. They said the land they were on was "suitable for livestock, and your servants have livestock...let this land be given to your servants as our possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan." Moses' answer cuts like steel: "Shall your countrymen go to war while you sit here?" They said, "How about we just settle down here, skip the battle, and root for you guys out there on the front lines? How does that sound?" Moses basically says: "No way, man. Every Marine a rifle. No watchers here; only warriors." These folks got the message. They said, "We would like to build pens here for our livestock and cities for our women and children." In other words, we'd like to stay here in our comfort zone - "but we are ready to arm ourselves and go ahead...every man armed for battle, will cross over to fight before the Lord." Good choice. Now, about that battle for a lost and dying world from God's perspective, no one can just watch this battle. Every child of God is supposed to be a warrior in it...including you. You can't just support others who are fighting for lives Jesus died to save. You've got to be fighting for some yourself. You can't delegate Christ's world-reaching Great Commission to a few spiritual daredevils called missionaries or full-time workers. This call is for all of us, wherever we live, whatever we do. You may say, "Well, I don't have the gift to tell others." If you belong to Jesus, you have the assignment! Remember, "we are Christ's ambassadors" (2 Corinthians 5:20). The truth is you're somebody's best chance of ever going to heaven, because you're the one with Jesus in their heart who is closest to that person at work, in your family, your neighborhood. If you don't tell them, chances are they'll never hear what Jesus did for them. And your silence will be, in essence, an eternal death sentence for them. You say, "Well, I can't possibly care about or support all the mission needs out there." That's right. But you know what you can do? You can say, "God, go ahead and place a piece of your broken heart for this world in my heart. Help me care about some need that You care about, and let me focus on that one." He'll do that, and you can begin to pray and give and help His soldiers who are fighting for those particular people. No watchers in the battle for lost hearts, only warriors. Because everyone who belongs to Him, has a place on the front lines.

In honor of its recent 50h Anniversary, here is our newly remastered (with additional content) review of one of The Most Influential Films of the 1970's.....What can be said about one of THE most iconic movies of the past 50 years which hasn't been said already?   Well you probably know that it was directed by Martin Scorsese, one of our greatest living American filmmakers.  And you probably also know it stars the legendary Robert DeNiro in one of his most iconic roles playing Travis Bickle, the titular taxi driver.  You might also know that it was also written by the renowned writer/director Paul Shrader who would go on to craft other iconic films including American Gigolo and Affliction, along with several other collaborations with Scorsese.  You probably already have an idea that it tells the story of an Vietnam veteran, disgruntled cab driver who eventually finds himself on a mission to "clean up the streets" of mid '70's New York City in his own unique way of course. Whatever you might know regardless,  it's never a bad time to revisit this classic film which has inspired millions of imitators since its release......all pretending to be tough staring in a mirrow, uttering, "You talkin' to me??"Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Scripture for Meditation 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 KJV 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. ESV 7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Reflection on Scripture: Today I gave an invocation prayer for an event for an organization that supports military service members. The person who runs it has done some really amazing things for the servicemembers I have worked with in the past so I was glad to support. The main speaker was a man who served in Vietnam in many incredibly brutal situations. He had led his men in combat and now was telling some of these stories for the first time ever. He was a powerful speaker but it was clear he was working through challenging memories. He was very determined but each person, regardless of their strength, struggles with things. Most of the time we have no decision or input on what thing it is that will challenge us most. This man harnessed that fear of telling his story resulting in a profoundly moving speech.  Paul was not immune to having struggles and even one that he felt extremely vexed by. Paul had amazing visions and gifts from God, and yet he struggled in ways that had him imploring God for help. And yet God did not give it in the way that Paul asked for. Without even knowing yoru situation I can guess that you have things that at times feel heavy for you to bear. Perhaps that is rare or incredibly frequent. If you are being honest though you have troubles. This is the message from God. Use that weakness to draw you closer to God and accept that all things can work together for the good of those who love God.There can be strength in that weakness. It reminds us of our need for God. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. WE are shown the Mercy of God most when we need it. We may be a way off from what  Many times we see only struggle and we dont see the good it does in us. Embrace the truth Paul teaches. WE can rejoice in the perfection of God. Just because you don't get to choose your struggle doesn't mean you have no choice in how to work through it. The resounding solution to that question is found in this scripture. Trust God. Lean on His strength and He will make you stronger than you could imagine  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.

The conversation about AI often focuses on software, automation, and the race between attackers and defenders in code. However, some of the most consequential risks lie further afield, in domains where a mistake is measured in human lives. Advanced models can now offer step-by-step guidance toward chemical and biological weapons, and militaries are already folding AI into targeting and battlefield assessments. These are no longer speculative fears confined to the AI doomer crowd. They are documented in red team disclosures, government legislation, and events unfolding on real battlefields. Gordon M. Goldstein is an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, where he focuses on the convergence of technology and US foreign policy. He previously spent nearly a decade as a managing director at Silver Lake, and he is the author of Lessons In Disaster: McGeorge Bundy and the Path to War in Vietnam, which is a study of national security strategy and White House decision-making. In this episode, Gordon joins Kevin Ball to discuss the credibility of AI-enabled chemical and biological weapon threats, the ad hoc safeguards meant to contain them, and the rise of autonomous warfare and its implications for human control and nuclear deterrence. Gordon speaks on his own behalf, not on behalf of the Council on Foreign Relations.Sponsorship inquiries:sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com The post AI and the New Global Security Landscape appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

It's Thursday, August 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Vietnamese court sentences pastor to 7 years in prison A court in Vietnam sentenced a Protestant pastor to over seven years in prison this month. Fifty-nine-old-pastor Y Nuen Ayun had been leading unregistered religious activities since 2003. The communist government often uses fabricated charges to silence Christians.  International Christian Concern noted, “Despite these realities, the church in Vietnam continues to faithfully and boldly advance God's kingdom under oppression.” 1 Peter 4:14 says, “If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part, He is blasphemed, but on your part, He is glorified.” Send a polite, 3-sentence note to the Vietnamese Ambassador to America, Nguyen Quoc Dzung, urging him to ask his government to release 59-year-old-pastor Y Nuen Ayun. Address it to the Vietnam Embassy, 1233 20th Street Northwest #400, Washington, D.C., 20036. You can find the correct spelling of their names and the address of the embassy in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Animated “David” movie opens in United Kingdom & Ireland tomorrow The animated biblical film “David” is headed to theaters in the United Kingdom and Ireland tomorrow.  A campaign from the U.K.-based KOVA International is encouraging churches to engage their congregations and communities through the film. The movie has been one of Angel Studios'* most successful releases. *Note: Angel Studios is owned by the Mormons also known as the “Church” of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Worldview cautions our listeners to remember that Mormons teach a false gospel and an unbiblical worldview. So, please be discerning in the viewing of any Angel Studios productions. Canadian military chaplains prohibited from mentioning God in public Military chaplains in Canada can no longer mention God at public events. The country's government issued the new policy last month. Canada already prohibited chaplains from praying at public events. The Canadian Armed Forces claims to be maintaining religious and spiritual neutrality in the exercise of its public duties. But in Matthew 12:30, Jesus said, “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.” Trump pauses 50% tariffs on Canadian goods U.S. President Donald Trump paused 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods yesterday. The tariffs were set to go into effect today. The president said that the two countries had reached a deal, subject to the finalization of the documents.  Trump picked a pro-lifer to head the FDA President Donald Trump nominated Dr. Heidi Overton to lead the Food and Drug Administration yesterday. She previously served as a White House health policy adviser. Dr. Overton is an opponent of abortion. She has written about the dangerous rise of chemical abortion which was allowed by the FDA in previous years. Christian Forest Service officer no longer required to work on Sundays A U.S. Forest Service officer will no longer be required to work on Sundays. Adam Diemert is a Forest Service law enforcement officer in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. He is also a devout Presbyterian who attends church twice every Sunday. Adam submitted multiple religious accommodation requests to not work on Sundays. Sadly, the Forest Service denied those requests. But thanks to the legal help of First Liberty Institute, Adam finally received the accommodation last week.  Socialist Democrats score another primary victory Socialist Democrats picked up another primary victory on Tuesday. Socialist Angie Nixon defeated retired Army Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, in Florida's Democrat primary race for the U.S. Senate.  Listen to the opening line of her victory speech. NIXON: “Florida, we did it!” (cheers and applause) She outlined her socialist agenda at the top. NIXON: “Medicare for all! (cheers) Universal childcare! (cheers) Real affordable housing!” (cheers) Nixon won easily with 56 percent of the vote. Vindman lost despite raising more than sixteen times as much money as Nixon.  Amazon delivery drones come to 500 cities Amazon delivery drones are coming to nearly 500 cities and towns this year. The company announced yesterday, “Prime Air offers millions of items by drone at everyday low prices, in as fast as 30 minutes.” The service currently operates in just 11 U.S. locations.  President Trump meets heroic lifeguard who saved 10-year-old And finally, President Donald Trump recently met with a heroic lifeguard as well as the 10-year-old boy he rescued. Sixteen-year-old Ryder Williams saved Nathaniel Rai from a rip current at a beach in Santa Cruz, California last month. A video of the rescue went viral, getting the president's attention. When asked by a reporter what went through his mind, the lifeguard said this. WILLIAMS: “In those dangerous moments that we have, we always try to fall back on our training. We are trained so well, by many, to handle that situation as best we can. So, I really am just thinking about how to get the boy out of the water as fast as I can.” He was also asked about his plans for the future. WILLIAMS: “I want to be a firefighter in the future. Hopefully, go through paramedic school.” Williams and Rai got to visit the White House on Monday. President Trump commended Williams and emphasized the providential moment. (Look at the 10:03-mark) Listen.  TRUMP: “He's a real hero. It's an amazing thing. God was watching you, right?” RAI: “Yeah.” TRUMP: “Great!” Proverbs 22:29 asks, “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings. He will not stand before unknown men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, August 20th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

In 2008, Ben Stiller made a war movie about people making a war movie, and in doing so, accidentally made one of the more prescient satires of 21st-century Hollywood ego, method acting, and the studio system's addiction to spectacle.Tropic Thunder arrived as a big, dumb action-comedy on the surface and a razor-sharp industry roast underneath, skewering everything from Vietnam war epics to blockbuster bloat to the cult of the "serious actor."Starting life as a Stiller passion project over a decade in development, it was championed by Steven Spielberg, and has an unrivalled mid-2000s ensemble; Stiller, Jack Black, and a nearly unrecognizable Robert Downey Jr., whose performance as a white Australian actor undergoing "pigmentation alteration" surgery to play a Black soldier showcased both his talent and the thin line of satire in Hollywood. It also, ironically, ended up with him getting an Academy Award nomination.Tropic Thunder brilliantly satirizes Hollywood's ridiculousness, especially the extremes actors go for awards, but it remains controversial. Despite its flaws, Tropic Thunder remains a relevant critique of the film industry and its egos, prompting discussions about depictions of race, disability and the evolution of comedic boundaries in cinema.Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?

This Day in Legal History: The War on PovertyOn August 20, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act, the legislative centerpiece of the “War on Poverty” he had declared in his State of the Union address seven months earlier. It was among the most ambitious pieces of social legislation in American history. More fundamentally, it committed the federal government to the idea that poverty was not merely an individual misfortune, but a national problem the country could organize itself to confront.The Act was broad by design. It authorized roughly $1 billion and created a collection of programs whose names remain familiar: the Job Corps, which trained young people; VISTA, conceived as a domestic version of the Peace Corps; the Neighborhood Youth Corps; and the Community Action Program. The last of those sent federal money directly to local organizations and required the “maximum feasible participation” of poor people in designing the programs intended to help them. The Act also created the Office of Economic Opportunity to oversee the broader effort. Head Start, which continues operating today, grew out of the same framework.The legacy of August 20, 1964, is genuinely mixed, which is precisely why it is worth remembering honestly. The War on Poverty created durable institutions, including Head Start, Job Corps, and legal-services programs for poor Americans, while embedding the principle that the federal government has some responsibility for expanding opportunity. But the “maximum feasible participation” requirement also produced fierce battles between local activists and city governments that were accustomed to controlling federal money. The initiative was then starved of funding as the war in Vietnam consumed both the federal budget and the country's political attention. The Economic Opportunity Act remains a reference point in nearly every argument about what the government owes its most vulnerable citizens. It also pairs pointedly with a day of legal news dominated by criminal prosecutions and judicial power—a reminder that law is not only a mechanism for punishment, but, at its most aspirational, a tool for creating opportunity.In the trial of the man accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder, the defense has settled on a genuinely remarkable strategy: asking the jury not to believe its own client. When we covered the opening of the trial, I noted that the case largely rests on Duane “Keffe D” Davis's own words. Over the years, Davis said in media interviews and in a 2019 memoir that he was inside the Cadillac on the night Tupac was shot and that he handed the gun to the men in the back seat. Police had long suspected Davis, but they did not have enough evidence to charge him until he began publicly talking about the crime. His lawyer, Michael Sanft, is now attacking the reliability of those same admissions, at one point displaying a slide for jurors bearing a single word: “b******t.” The defense theory is that Davis is a braggart who exaggerated or invented his involvement to sell books and improve his street reputation—and that self-aggrandizing talk is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt.Legally, this is a fascinating position because Davis's statements are doing much of the work a live confession ordinarily would, except that he made them for money and status rather than during a police interrogation. His effort to claim immunity based on a 2008 proffer has already failed before the Nevada Supreme Court, clearing the way for the statements to be used at trial. The case therefore turns on a basic but difficult evidentiary question: when someone publicly brags about participating in a notorious crime for personal gain, is that a confession the government can use to convict him, or is it just talk? The jury must decide whether Keffe D was telling the world the truth—or, as his own lawyer now argues, lying for profit.Defense strategy in Tupac murder case: don't believe my client | ReutersCNN · KELOPresident Trump has announced nine new judicial nominees for federal courts in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Alaska as the November midterms approach. The group notably includes an Oklahoma state attorney who supported allowing taxpayer-funded religious charter schools, offering a preview of the church-state disputes these judges could eventually be asked to decide. The larger legal point is that lifetime federal judgeships may be the most durable form of power a president exercises.These nominees, if confirmed, will continue interpreting federal law and the Constitution for decades after the president who selected them has left office. There is an unusual wrinkle this time, however: Trump's pace of judicial appointments has slowed because there are not many vacancies left. His first term substantially reshaped the federal judiciary, and an aggressive beginning to his second term further reduced the number of available seats. That is why a nine-person slate spanning six states is meaningful in a year when there simply is not much left to fill. The “as midterms loom” framing matters as well, because control of the Senate determines whether a president's nominees receive confirmation votes at all. The administration therefore has every reason to move nominees while the current Senate math remains favorable. Even a comparatively modest batch of nominations illustrates the quiet, cumulative way presidents shape American law—not through the executive orders that dominate a news cycle, but through lifetime appointments that survive countless news cycles. Each of these nine nominees, if confirmed, would represent a decades-long imprint on the federal judiciary.Trump names nine new judicial nominees as November midterms loom | ReutersLaw360 · Bloomberg LawAnd finally, we have a genuinely novel legal argument—literally. The Justice Department is prosecuting former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly threatening President Trump, and prosecutors are now pointing to Comey's own novel as evidence against him. The charge arises from a May 2025 Instagram post in which Comey shared a photograph of seashells arranged on a beach to spell “86 47.” In that formulation, “86” is slang for getting rid of something, while “47” refers to Trump as the 47th president. Comey said he encountered the shells while walking on a North Carolina beach and posted the image as a clever piece of political commentary. Prosecutors have adopted a much darker interpretation. In a new filing urging the judge not to dismiss the case, the Justice Department cites Comey's legal thriller FDR Drive, published that same month, in which a right-wing podcaster uses coded language to incite followers against political opponents.The government's theory is that the novel demonstrates Comey understood how coded language can function as a threat and therefore knew what “86 47” would communicate. Prosecutors also suggested that he exploited the resulting controversy to sell books, quoting a message to his agent in which Comey wrote that the attention was “not my intention, but I'll be OK if it sells books.” The First Amendment does not protect “true threats,” but it strongly protects political criticism and hyperbole, and the Supreme Court has held that the government generally must prove a speaker was at least reckless about how a statement would be understood. The central question is therefore whether “86 47” amounted to a genuine threat of violence or protected political speech. Using a defendant's fictional writing to establish his state of mind is an aggressive and unusual prosecutorial move. Comey's lawyers describe the case as retaliation for his criticism of Trump. The prosecution sits directly on the fault line between criminalizing a threat and criminalizing dissent—and the government is effectively asking the court to treat a novelist's imagination as evidence of criminal intent.DOJ argues Comey novel shows he knew ‘86 47' post was a threat against Trump | ReutersCNBC · The Hill This is a public episode.

In the past months, the world has watched as the people of New York City elected Zohran Mamdani to office as mayor of the largest city in the United States, with over 8 million residents and international cultural and economic centers such as the financial sector and performing arts realm. Youthful, charismatic, and bold, he won the election by over 50% in a 3-way race. Mayor Mamdani started making changes from his first day in office. His political philosophy, however, is the same old package the world has seen fail in socialist countries around the world, including Cuba and Venezuela in our own hemisphere. In the name of fairness, Mamdani planned to pay for the universal daycare, the subsidized housing, the price-controlled groceries, the public transportation through various taxes and other fees, especially on the very rich, the celebrities and billionaires who call New York City home, or own property there. Despite being targeted as the cash cows that would pay for the party, the wealthy did not just pack up and leave on the day that Mayor Mamdani was sworn in. They appeared to be holding their breath, waiting to see if they could afford to stay. Then Taylor Swift posted two short social media items, neither one long and neither one declaring she was leaving New York City, but containing an air of wistfulness and a hint that leaving might be an option. Within 48 hours, there was a surge unlike any seen in living memory in new listings of high-end residences for sale. Values of the listings totaled $2.3 billion. Should even a portion of those owners who are listing depart from the city, the financial repercussions for New York City and for New York State will be enormous. Meanwhile, on the heels of the Mamdani victory, new political hopefuls who are declared far-left socialists, many under the banner of Democrat Socialists of America(DSA) are running in primaries around the US. The DSA party and the DSA National Election Commission are hip, excited, and trying hard to be fun. But all the charisma, the self-declared desire to be kind, to be fair, and all the taxes in the world will not create a more productive, liberty-oriented, vibrant environment able to nurture ingenuity, growth, and opportunity for all. The Democratic Socialists of America have totalitarian goals that they share with their sibling revolutionaries, Communists, Socialists, and the Woke Left Under all the hype and the slogans of the Democratic Socialists of America and other far-left groups is a desire to tear down the America we grew up in. They want another American revolution. Like basic Communist tenants the far left wants to abolish private property (or tax it to death), put religion in a closet or abolish it altogether, make everyone “equal” – not in opportunity, but in outcome, and embrace the policies promoted by globalist entities such as the United Nations and the World Health Organization which have lots of goals and targets aiming at fairness and equality on an international scale and at the expense especially of the United States. We have tried in the West to be so kind, so tolerant, so darn nice in the face of destructive policies and hate-filled rhetoric and actions that we have allowed the destruction of our own culture. So, we invited a genuine survivor of the totalitarian communist USSR who was born in Moscow and immigrated with his family as a young child to Canada. Our guest brought his memories of long food lines, the fear that sits like a stone in a family of dissidents, and his awareness that those who make trouble can be shipped off to Siberia. We met with Jamie Glazov for an episode of The Breggin Hour. It was one of those rare conversations that feels less like an interview and more like speaking with family. Jamie's presence, his clarity, and the depth of his lifelong study of totalitarianism left us both strengthened and sobered. The perspectives Jamie shares are fresh, straight from the news headlines. Jamie is the Russian-born Canadian author, historian, and managing editor of FrontPage Magazine. His updated and expanded book, United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas, is not merely a must-read. It is a work of truth-telling that explains phenomena many of us have watched with growing alarm but struggled to fully name. The Left's Romance with Murderous Regimes and Movements In United in Hate, Jamie traces a continuous thread through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries: the Western Left's repeated romance with the most murderous regimes and movements of their time. The first half of the book examines the “political pilgrims” and fellow travelers who traveled to Stalin's Soviet Union, Mao's China, Castro's Cuba, and the killing fields of Cambodia and Vietnam, returning to praise the very systems that produced mass graves. The second half shows how that same psychological and ideological pattern transferred, almost seamlessly, to embracing radical Islam and groups such as Hamas. After the collapse of Soviet communism, the Left did not abandon its hunger for a totalitarian alternative to the West. It found a new object of adoration. October 7, 2023, became the catalyst for the revised edition of United in Hate. Jamie told us that the moment he saw the celebrations and justifications erupting across Western campuses, streets, and media, he knew the book had to be updated and expanded. The ecstasy some on the Left displayed at the rape, mutilation, and murder of Jews was not an aberration. It was the logical continuation of a long romance with tyranny and terror. A Profound Alienation from the West Jamie does not stop at documentation. He examines the inner life of what he calls “the Believer.” The hard Left, he argues, is driven by a profound alienation from the West, a self-hatred that seeks external enemies to destroy, and a quasi-religious need for a purifying utopia that requires blood sacrifice. Communism once supplied that vision. When it failed, radical Islam offered a new version: a death cult that openly rejects the Judeo-Christian foundations of the civilization the Left already despises. In our conversation, he described two layers of the problem. There are the malicious actors who knowingly work to dismantle Western civilization. And there are the many more who simply cannot emotionally bear the truth. To acknowledge what radical Islam teaches and practices would shatter the comforting narrative that “everything will be okay if we just show more tolerance.” So, they choose willful blindness. They sacrifice Jewish and Christian victims on the altar of their own psychological comfort. Peter, who has spent decades studying the psychology of power and vulnerability, was particularly struck by how accurately Jamie captures the leftist mindset of alienation turning into passionate identification with those who attack the West. A Spiritual Battle Jamie spoke openly about the spiritual dimension of what we face. He reminded us that we are in a battle that cannot be reduced to politics alone. The hatred directed at Jews and at the Christian West has a demonic quality. The same forces that once celebrated Stalin and Mao now celebrate those who butchered families on October 7 and who openly seek the destruction of Israel, Christianity, and, ultimately, Western civilization. Peter and I felt an immediate kinship with Jamie. He is the son of Soviet dissidents. His heart has always been with the persecuted. That same impulse—the refusal to look away from suffering—has driven our own work for decades. When Jamie said he felt he was among family while speaking with us, we felt the same. Listen and Read I urge you to listen to the full interview. Jamie's passion, his refusal to soft-pedal, and his moral clarity come through powerfully. Then get the book. United in Hate will equip you to understand not only the present moment but the deeper currents that have brought us here. We are living in a time when large portions of our cultural and institutional elite have chosen sides against the civilization that produced them. Jamie Glazov has given us a map of that betrayal. The least we can do is study it carefully and refuse to look away. Order United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas by Jamie Glazov.

The first Vietnamese migrants began arriving in what was then Czechoslovakia nearly seventy years ago. Today, around 10,000 Vietnamese people live in Slovakia, yet their journey toward recognition as an established and valued part of Slovak society has been a long one. One group working to strengthen that recognition is Vietnamske Korene, or Vietnamese Roots. Led largely by members of the second generation, the organization created Vietnam Day—a festival celebrating Vietnamese culture and the ties between Vietnamese and Slovak communities. In this program, we visit this year's festival to meet organizers, participants, and attendees and explore how the event is introducing Vietnamese culture to a wider Slovak audience, building bridges between communities, and bringing together generations of Vietnamese living in Slovakia.

This week, “MK Confidential” opens on a warm weekday evening in Wheaton, Maryland, an inner suburb just north of D.C. On October 2, 2002, a low, flat, pop sound breaks the evening buzz of errands outside a grocery store. Those nearby think of it as a blown-out tire or a falling pallet of goods. One man drops to the asphalt. James Martin, a fifty-five-year-old husband, father, and Vietnam veteran, bleeds out in a  parking lot. He will not be the last. Megyn Kelly traces the story of the victims, the snipers, and the investigators who will race to end their reign of terror that engulfs greater D.C. Five people in sixteen hours, each shot with a single round of .223, fired from the same rifle. The victims have nothing in common, save for the ground on which they stand, and a clear line of sight to wherever the shooter is lurking. Who would do this, and why? One year after 9/11, the natural thought is foreign terrorism; D.C. is certainly on the lookout. But as the killings continue, and the pressure to stop them mounts, two men are hiding in plain sight. And their motivation is much more straightforward: revenge. This is Episode 1 of The Beltway Snipers story.

Twenty-five years on, the loudest lesson from 9/11 is still the quietest one: appreciate every damn day. In this replay from the Independent Americans archive, Paul Rieckhoff — combat veteran, 9/11 first responder, and founder of IVA — hands the mic to his friend firefighter Rob Serra and Al Barry of Engine 65. Al walks us floor by floor up the North Tower stairwell, through the May Day at 22, through the collapse of the South Tower that he first mistook for elevators being recalled, and through the black cloud on West Street where he ended up at the bottom of a pile of strangers under a police car. It is not a war story. It is a working man's story about a job that turned into history. The conversation goes where most 9/11 retellings will not. Al talks about the years after — the ceremonial bugler who couldn't hit the notes on TAPS anymore because his lungs were shot. The brother firefighter lost to suicide. The retired 40-year man lost to cancer. The father-in-law and the father and the brother, all gone in eighteen months. He talks about finally sitting with a counselor, about how the guys from Vietnam in his firehouse never spoke of it, and about how the newer generation is finally starting to. If you were not born yet in 2001, this is the episode to share. If you were there, this is the brother-to-brother conversation you already know by heart. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Nothing says “responsible morning radio” quite like starting the hour buzzing on Italian rainbow cookies and ending it by debating whether Rafe Williams belongs on Raya.Welcome to another funny show from The Rizzuto Show, where the crew begins this episode riding the aftermath of Rizz's birthday food extravaganza. Sweet Seven Layers has everybody losing their minds over traditional Italian rainbow cookies, pistachio and blackberry creations, cherry amaretto and enough sugar to make Moon openly admit he's buzzing. Throw in the pastries from Le Bon Boucher and we're basically broadcasting from inside a carbohydrate emergency.Before everyone slips into a frosting coma, Rizz drops some actual useful information: Rizz Show Night with the St. Louis Blues is coming to Enterprise Center, featuring the Blues against the Colorado Avalanche and an exclusive Rizz Show Blues jacket. Even better, a portion of the special ticket benefits Operation Food Search. Look at us briefly doing something respectable.Don't worry. It doesn't last.Sexy Time Fun Facts arrives with a legitimately groundbreaking medical story: surgeons in Vietnam successfully performed the country's first penile transplant from a brain-dead donor.And there goes the respectability.What starts as an unbelievable medical headline turns into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about organ donation, brain death and transplant ethics. Rafe brings some firsthand perspective from witnessing organ harvesting during his previous surgical work, while Moon reflects on his own recent experience being with his father at the end of his life.Naturally, the thoughtful discussion eventually becomes questions about disclosure to future romantic partners, whether transplanted anatomy could be a different color and the phrase “secret three-way with a ghost.”We almost made it.Then the funny show tackles another vital scientific question: Is Missouri properly representing itself in America's swinging community?A ranking of all 50 states examines factors including clubs, online communities, hotels and other indicators of an active swinging lifestyle. Florida takes the top spot because Florida apparently looked at its existing reputation and decided to lean in. Missouri lands at number 20 overall, while ranking eighth for its number of physical swinger clubs.Respectable?Embarrassing?A challenge for next year?The crew isn't entirely sure, although Rafe refuses to accept the possibility that Cleveland might be out-performing St. Louis in the key-party department. Civic pride comes in many forms.From swinging, we make the completely natural transition into dating apps.Science apparently has an answer for how much you should reveal in your dating profile. Say too little and people assume you're sketchy. Overshare every trauma you've experienced since kindergarten and romantic interest drops. The sweet spot is the “Goldilocks bio”: enough personality and detail to seem interesting without making somebody feel like they've accidentally opened your therapist's case notes.Which means there's only one reasonable next step.Get Rafe on a dating app for the show.Rafe isn't particularly interested. He'd rather meet somebody naturally and “let the universe do it,” which is adorable and therefore completely unacceptable to his coworkers. Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and Raya all enter the discussion, along with stories of celebrities appearing in people's inboxes and the realization that getting Rafe approved for Raya may require more references than getting a mortgage.He apparently needs Wayne Gretzky to write two letters now: one for Canada and one for Raya.Eventually the search deteriorates into increasingly specific dating platforms, FarmersOnly, JDate, theoretical sea-captain dating and Rafe's dream of becoming an aspiring jet-ski owner searching for love.Romance is alive.It's just deeply confused.From Italian cookies and St. Louis Blues hockey to medical ethics, swinger statistics and celebrity dating apps, this episode somehow covers an enormous amount of territory without developing a single useful life skill.Exactly what you've come to expect from your favorite funny show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rizz officially turned 48, which means it's time to celebrate the only way responsible middle-aged adults know how: announce that birthdays are stupid, eat olives, drink approximately nine birthday beers, stay out until 1:45 in the morning and immediately begin discussing whether birthdays should be banned altogether next year.Lern returns from Nashville after one of her favorite trips with Tim, complete with cowboy boots, Broadway people-watching and a Foo Fighters show at Nissan Stadium that was approximately three degrees cooler than walking directly into a pizza oven. She missed Queens of the Stone Age thanks to dinner running late and a forgotten phone, but made it for Foo Fighters, Shane West randomly appearing during the band's trip through its members' musical histories, and a romantic finish listening from the pedestrian bridge while fireworks went off. Cute. Disgusting. We're happy for them.Guns N' Roses had their own weather problems when storms forced the band to shorten the Busch Stadium show. Naturally, this leads to the important journalistic question: if you're Guns N' Roses and rain is coming, HOW DO YOU NOT IMMEDIATELY PLAY “NOVEMBER RAIN”? We don't make the rules. Actually, apparently neither do they.Pin-Up Bowl goes from Rizz worrying nobody will show up to being absolutely packed. The special Dangler beer flows freely. Rizz receives spaghetti-and-meatball dangler earrings, another signed Don Mattingly baseball and a massive strawberry birthday cake featuring a photo of Rizz with a truly breathtaking hair situation. There's bowling, questionable decisions and eventually a migration to Delmar Hall — except for Scott, whom everyone insists they didn't abandon collectively. They merely abandoned him individually.At Delmar Hall, the Blink-182 tribute brings the hits, Bangs Against the Machine brings the Rage, Rizz keeps getting handed beverages, and eventually Mrs. Rizzuto performs the evening's most important public service by shutting down the birthday shots before somebody had to replace another shower curtain.Then comes the Quincy lottery story.Rizz brings up a movie theory that sounds just believable enough to ruin your productivity for the next hour: could The Goonies and Back to the Future take place on the exact same day?Back to the Future establishes October 26, 1985. Meanwhile, clues in The Goonies appear to place its adventure right around that same Saturday. Coincidence? Intentional cinematic universe? Evidence that Chunk was one DeLorean ride away from completely destroying the space-time continuum? We investigate with exactly the level of academic rigor you'd expect from this program.Then Brian arrives with enough food to turn the studio into a French bakery: croissants, bread, ham and Swiss, smoked deviled eggs and more. This comes after the gigantic birthday cake he'd already made for Rizz, because apparently we're now trying to see whether a radio host can be defeated entirely by carbohydrates.Nate Bargatze also sets a massive comedy ticket-sales record, sending Rafe and the crew into a genuinely interesting conversation about club comedy versus arena comedy. Rafe explains why smaller rooms create that perfect pressure cooker of laughs while superstar comics eventually reach a level where playing a 200-seat club makes about as much financial sense as opening a lemonade stand inside Costco.The entertainment conversation keeps rolling into movies, celebrity stories and eventually Brad Pitt declaring that bad acting is so distracting he can't watch porn. This results in Rafe questioning Brad Pitt's acting credentials and nearly getting thrown off the show by everyone else. The crew debates whether Pitt is actually an elite actor, just exceptionally talented at playing Brad Pitt, or both.The crew surprises him with cards carefully selected to remind him that he's old, grouchy and one year closer to death. Lern gives him a Tommy Wiseau pasta spoon. Then Rafe produces Italian rainbow cookies from Sweet Seven Layers, delivered by a New York/Jersey baker who listens to the show and apparently understands exactly how to win over a “greasy meatball” birthday boy.Sweet Seven Layers has everybody losing their minds over traditional Italian rainbow cookies, pistachio and blackberry creations, cherry amaretto and enough sugar to make Moon openly admit he's buzzing.

Peter Schiff marks the 55th anniversary of August 15, 1971, the day Nixon closed the gold window and defaulted on the Federal Reserve's promise to redeem dollars in gold. He explains how deficit spending in the 1960s on the Great Society, Vietnam, and Apollo forced the choice between painful fiscal discipline and default, and how Nixon chose default disguised as reform. Schiff traces the fallout: the collapse of the dollar's purchasing power, gold soaring from $35 to $850 by 1980, stagflation that confounded Keynesians, and the erosion of single-income American households. Freed from gold's discipline, the government ran up massive debts, hollowed out the industrial base, and turned the world's largest creditor into its biggest debtor, with the national debt exploding from under $400 billion to over $28 trillion. He argues gold is as underpriced today as it was in 1971, that the Fed under Warsh is stoking the very inflation it claims to fight, and that just as the world went off the gold standard, it will soon go off the dollar standard with far more devastating consequences. His advice: follow Charles de Gaulle's example and exchange fiat money for real money before it's too late.   Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/dLwyxz19FH8?si=60kwSyxfFbuUztqY Peter Schiff 633K subscribers Aug 15, 2026 Chapters: 00:00 Nixon Shuts Gold Window 00:48 How Dollars Became Paper 03:08 1960s Spending Hits Limits 04:35 Nixon Chooses Default 06:51 Stagflation Fallout 09:05 Reserve Currency Abuse 10:23 Debt and Dollar Reckoning 11:12 2026 Inflation Warning 12:09 Protect Yourself With Gold 12:42 Final Call to Action Follow @peterschiff X:   / peterschiff   Instagram:   / peterschiff   TikTok:   / peterschiffofficial   Facebook:   / peterschiff

What makes an activist? What propels someone to get off the sidelines and get involved?For decades, 88-year-old actress and activist Jane Fonda has been either a guiding light or a lightning rod, depending on your views.A new book, written by an Ohio University professor, examines Jane Fonda's life through the lens of protest and movement-building, acting choices and, yes, the volatile Vietnam years.Marilyn S. Greenwald, Ohio University professor emerita of journalism, joins us on this hour of All Sides to discuss her new book Jane Fonda: There's A Great Deal To Say.Guest:Marilyn S.

Bob Zimmerman details the robotic mission by startup Catalyst to rescue NASA's Swift Space Telescope, utilizing innovative software to maneuver a servicing craft despite thruster failures. He highlights SpaceX's massive Starshipproduction line in Boca Chica, noting that four prototypes are ready for monthly launches and upcoming orbital refueling tests. Zimmerman also discusses Lockheed Martin's strategic investments in rocket startups like Firefly to secure launch capabilities. On the international front, he reports on Poland's successful protest against Starlink roaming restrictions and Vietnam's first satellite contract with an American company, SpaceX, signaling a shift toward U.S. ties. Additionally, Zimmerman covers the State Department's efforts to pull India away from Russian space partnerships and NASA's collaboration with the Department of Energy on nuclear propulsion for Mars. He concludes with breathtaking imagery of stars orbiting the Milky Way's central black hole. (5)

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 8-14-2026.Jeff Bliss discusses the severe threats posed by a potential "super El Niño," which could lead to massive coastal erosion, mudslides, and heavy rains in Los Angeles, similar to the damage seen in previous severe weather years. He also reports on active wildfires in California, such as the Timber Fire in Monterey County and the Bug Fire near the Nevada border, noting that humans cause roughly 90 to 95% of these blazes. Shifting to entertainment, Bliss describes the highly anticipated opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which features the "Skywalker Grill"—a restaurant causing excitement among Los Angeles foodies for its Michelin-star potential. Additionally, Bliss covers the landmark $12.8 billion purchase of the Los Angeles Lakers by a group involving Jared Kushner and Bob Iger. Finally, he touches on the legal controversy surrounding the Paramount-Skydance merger and David Ellison's threat to move production out of Hollywood. (1)Gene Marks shares insights from White House advisor Kevin Hassett regarding the validity of government economic data, with Hassett favoring durable goods orders and unemployment claims over revised surveys. Marks reports a generally positive outlook for small businesses, citing an uptick in optimism and a four-year high in manufacturing activity driven by the AI and data center explosion. He notes that while tariffs and $4 gasoline remain concerns, many businesses are absorbing costs without significant impact on sales. Marks characterizes the United States as an "entrepreneur's paradise" because of the ease of starting a business and the high availability of capital. He highlights that nearly half a million new business applications are filed monthly, supported by record levels of private debt and venture capital. Marks concludes that despite various uncertainties, the small business sector remains resilient and is continuing to hire. (2)Jim McTague provides a report on the "mixed" economy of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, observing that retail activity is picking up due to back-to-school shopping despite inflationary pressures. He notes that discount giants like Costco are packed as shoppers seek relief from high prices, while tourism traffic at local hotels and amusement parks has lightened midweek. McTague also highlights local opposition to data centers, making them a contentious political issue for upcoming elections. A central focus is the "Heritage Paris" patisserie at Park City Mall, where a French chef sells premium handcrafted pastries. McTague describes high-end offerings like the "Popcorn Illusion" pastry priced at $17.95, illustrating a market for luxury food even in a cautious economy. He humorously recounts his own difficulty resisting these treats while on a low-carb diet, emphasizing that the shop is a significant draw for local residents. (3)Lorenzo Fiori describes a "disaster" situation in Europe caused by severe drought and record heat, with water restrictions implemented in Swiss towns and critically low levels in northern Italy's Po River. The drought has turned the normally green Alps brown and disrupted lake navigation. Simultaneously, Sicily's Mount Etna has entered a prolonged eruption phase, spewing ash for seven days and forcing the cancellation of 700 flights at Catania airport during the peak tourist season. Fiori notes the chaos caused by tourists seeking "eruption selfies" in dangerous areas. For a cultural reprieve, he recommends the Bernina Express rail journey, which reaches the highest railway point in Europe. He also shares a traditional recipe for polenta with Gorgonzola cheese, paired with local Valtellina wine, though he expresses concern that the drought may soon impact milk production from Alpine cows. (4)Bob Zimmerman details the robotic mission by startup Catalyst to rescue NASA's Swift Space Telescope, utilizing innovative software to maneuver a servicing craft despite thruster failures. He highlights SpaceX's massive Starshipproduction line in Boca Chica, noting that four prototypes are ready for monthly launches and upcoming orbital refueling tests. Zimmerman also discusses Lockheed Martin's strategic investments in rocket startups like Firefly to secure launch capabilities. On the international front, he reports on Poland's successful protest against Starlink roaming restrictions and Vietnam's first satellite contract with an American company, SpaceX, signaling a shift toward U.S. ties. Additionally, Zimmerman covers the State Department's efforts to pull India away from Russian space partnerships and NASA's collaboration with the Department of Energy on nuclear propulsion for Mars. He concludes with breathtaking imagery of stars orbiting the Milky Way's central black hole. (5)Alex Wright, author of Empire of Ink: The Printers, Rogues, and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper, Part Two: Wright recounts the history of American newspapers, focusing on the Civil War's impact on journalism. He highlights George Smalley's groundbreaking combat reporting at Antietam, where Smalley wrote a vivid account on a night train to secure the "scoop of all scoops" for the Tribune. Wright also explores "soldier-published" newspapers that provided a slice of camp life and the origins of Stars and Stripes. Moving west, he describes the dangerous life of frontier editors, such as Mark Twain, who carried revolvers to defend against aggrieved readers and occasionally fled town to avoid duels. Wright explains how newspapers became "gold mines" by discovering the revenue potential of patent medicine advertising, which once accounted for half of all ads. He concludes by drawing parallels between the fragmented, anything-goes media landscape of the 19th century and today's digital era of content creators and AI. (6)Henry Sokolski examines the "Golden Dome," a proposed $185 billion space-based missile defense project that mirrors the Cold War-era SDI. He warns that the program's lack of transparency is "suicidal" for its funding, as Congress remains in the dark about its primary mission. Sokolski notes that while technology is closer to practicality than 40 years ago, current threats are often low-cost drones rather than intercontinental missiles. In the energy sector, he highlights Elon Musk's $10 billion "Project Crystal Sun" solar factory in Texas, which Musk frames as capturing the "fusion reactor" of the sun. Sokolski observes that even conservative states are voting with their pocketbooks for renewables as battery storage investments double. Finally, he touches on a mutual defense pact between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, suggesting a "Sunni NATO" is emerging due to a lack of confidence in U.S. security guarantees. (7)Angela DiFulvio explains a theoretical method for detecting nuclear weapons in low Earth orbit to prevent catastrophes like the 1962 Starfish Prime experiment, which destroyed a third of existing satellites. She describes an "inspector" satellite designed to induce a unique radioactive signature from fissile material using high-energy protons. DiFulvio details technical challenges, such as "pulse shape discrimination," to distinguish weapon-related neutrons from background cosmic radiation in the harsh space environment. She suggests that an international agency like the IAEAmight oversee these inspectors to ensure space remains weapon-free. DiFulvio emphasizes that while tests can occur in classified environments, more research is needed on the survivability of sensing electronics. She warns that a modern orbital nuclear detonation would be catastrophic for global infrastructure, specifically mentioning the vulnerability of massive constellations like Starlink. (8)

This week, the march toward My Lai continues as America sinks deeper into Vietnam, from JFK and the Gulf of Tonkin to LBJ's escalation of the war, the rise of body counts, and the growing brutality that helped create the conditions for a massacre... As LBJ himself put it, "there ain't no daylight in Vietnam".

Marine combat veteran, former Assistant Secretary of Defense, and military historian Bing West has spent six decades on battlefields from Vietnam to Afghanistan — and he's angry. In his new book, Cat 5: The 2033 War, West argues that America's leaders won every battle in three wars but lost every war, driven by what he calls the "Jupiter Complex" — the dangerous belief that America is so powerful it doesn't need to fight with full resolve. Now, he warns, that same hubris is converging with a crushing national debt and Xi Jinping's determination to seize Taiwan to create a Category 5 catastrophe by 2033. West joins Newt for a blunt, unsparing conversation about an emaciated military still buying legacy weapons, a debt spiral that leaves no room for defense spending, and what the next president must do to hold the line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On August 24, 2012, a Vietnam veteran who had been staying at the Lake Lanier Club Apartments off Dawsonville Highway in Gainesville, Georgia with his daughter and grandchildren, was taking a walk through the woods behind the complex. The man liked taking nature walks, and he was also following up on a report that he had made to the apartment management about a missing manhole cover. He later told police that he wanted to see if it had been replaced yet. It was around 7:30 pm in the evening, and still almost full daylight, and when the man paused near a stream bed, he saw something disturbing...something that he at first thought was a mannequin. Upon closer inspection, he realized that he was looking at a dead body. He called 911 and told them that a young lady, about 18 or 19 years old, was dead and looked like she had been dead for two or three days. The young woman was 16-year-old Hannah Truelove, a student at Gainesville High School. She had been missing since the night before. And even though her exact cause of death has not been revealed, police said she died a “violent death." She had been stabbed multiple times and left in the stream bed a quarter mile away from home; her flip flop was found a few yards away, tangled in some branches. Who killed Hannah Truelove?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And when I asked, people said, ‘That’s because of Yidma.' Yidma, in Buddha's teaching, is about consensus. But, at that time, I couldn't believe that we could run a business in a slow way and build democratic governance as per Thay’s vision.” “Good teacher, good methodology, and good friends.” “If everything is important, then, actually, nothing is important.” “What Buddhism and what the Buddha and Thay offer us is another dimension of really asking the question, ‘What is happiness? What is success?'” “Engage, trust – and then there’s cooperation. And when there is cooperation, there is power and the result will come. We have to trust in that.” “Sometimes it’s via absence that people recognize their love. If you’re always there, there's not always the opportunity for that.”

The boys are back as Marcus leads Henry and Ed into the first chapter of our My Lai Massacre series, tracing the long and bloody road that brought America into Vietnam. From French colonial rule and the rise of Ho Chi Minh to guerrilla warfare, Cold War paranoia, and one catastrophic decision after another, the boys break down how America stumbled into a war it never understood and could never win.
