Podcasts about White House

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Senior Editors Molly Roberts and Eric Columbus, and Contributing Editor Renée DiResta, to talk through the week's big domestic news stories, including:“Signed, Sealed, Undelivered.” As the first mail ballots of the 2026 midterms go out this week, a fast-moving legal fight over President Trump's effort to reshape mail-in voting is racing toward the Supreme Court. At issue is a new U.S. Postal Service rule—stemming from a Trump executive order—that requires states to submit absentee voters' information to a federal portal before USPS will deliver their mail-in ballots. A federal ruling in Massachusetts blocked key parts of the rule last week, the administration is appealing, and a separate challenge is pending in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, an anonymous whistleblower in the U.S. Postal Service has come forward and warned that the hastily built portal it intends to use to vet mailed ballots is so untested and unforgiving that a single scanning error could stop tens of thousands of ballots from reaching voters. How did we get here? And what is it likely to mean for November's election?“Meta Culpa.” Last week, Meta abruptly settled a landmark child-safety case midway through trial, agreeing to pay a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general as much as $17 billion and to overhaul how teenagers experience Instagram and Facebook. The proposed consent judgment—which has been approved by a federal judge in California—would require a default two-hour daily time limit for users under 18, a midnight-to-6 a.m. “night mode,” hidden “like” counts, stronger age checks, and a school-hours notification cutback, most of it locked in for a decade. It's being billed as the largest big-tech settlement ever, but some children's advocates are warning that its terms don't touch the recommendation algorithms at the heart of the problem. Is this a turning point for social media regulation—or just a manageable cost of doing business?“Strictly Ballroom.” On Monday, a divided Supreme Court cleared the way for President Trump to keep building his enormous new White House ballroom, staying a lower-court injunction that had halted construction on the site of the now-demolished East Wing. But the 5-4 ruling in National Park Service v. National Trust for Historic Preservation didn't actually decide whether the project is lawful. Instead, the majority held that the challengers—led by an architectural historian who regularly walks her dog past the White House—lacked standing to sue, deeming her objection to the ballroom mere “offense” rather than a concrete aesthetic injury. In an unusual twist, Chief Justice Roberts wrote the principal dissent, joined by the Court's three Democratic appointees, arguing that the Court has left standing doctrine even murkier than it found it. So what did the Court actually decide? And what might it mean for other legal challenges to Trump's refashioning of our nation's capital, and beyond?In object lessons, the summer has left most of our crew hungry for more. Eric is eating up the tropical goodness of certain (glass-free) Outshine fruit bars. Molly is savoring the simplicity of an in-season tomato. Scott is perfecting his process for perfect pizza. And Renée stands alone snackless, squeezing out the last of her summer stress with a NeeDoh squishy.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

BULLETIN: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN SEPTEMBER 3 2026 Trump's favorite Goebbels impersonator Maria Bartiromo has been fired by Fox - I believe directly by Rupert Murdoch - for telling Trump that Fox News had ordered her and others to not give credence to Trump's July speech in which he promulgated the hallucination that China had stolen the 2020 election which he lost, from him. That she was fired was evident from the timing: it is the proverbial "Take Out The Trash" Day (the Thursday before the four-day Labor Day weekend); she was given no chance to say goodbye; she is not leaving for another job. Oliver Darcy of Status added the detail of Bartiromo ratting Murdoch out to Trump; he reports she even forwarded the text message from her Fox bosses telling staff not to buy into Trump's latest delusion, to the White House.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heading into the midterms, what actually beats Trumpism — and is the two-party establishment even capable of it? Chris Cuomo brings together three of the sharpest and most different voices in American politics to argue over what's really broken and what actually wins. Marjorie Taylor Greene (former U.S. Representative for Georgia's 14th Congressional District) details the falling-out that ended her alliance with Donald Trump — the White House phone call in which she says he warned her "friends are going to get hurt" if the Epstein files came out, the death threats against her family, and the loyalty demands that led her to conclude the movement had become a cult and the whole system is broken. James Carville (Democratic strategist and political commentator) makes the case that Trump is an existential threat that calls for scorched-earth tactics, and spars with Cuomo over the better path to a majority — hammering Trump as the most destructive figure in the country, or winning back voters by telling them "you're right about what's wrong, and here's who actually fixes it." Brian Tyler Cohen (YouTube and podcast host, "No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen," and author, "The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World") argues Democrats are institutionalists to a fault — too precious about the filibuster and the norms while the other side barrels through them — and that the only way to beat the fear-mongering is to seize power and actually deliver for people.

Washington wants you to believe the latest Beltway rumors are just routine political drama. The real story goes much deeper: a Pentagon in turmoil, senior military figures pushing back, and a commander-in-chief who purposefully lets the chaos burn. When high-ranking officers bypass traditional protocol to warn the White House about leadership at the Defense Department, it isn't just staff drama—it's a direct window into how power is exercised in Washington today. Instead of getting lost in the daily news cycle, Michael Steele cuts through the media noise to examine who is actually pulling the levers, why traditional rules no longer apply, and whether Pete Hegseth is genuinely on the chopping block or sitting exactly where President Donald Trump wants him.Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6oIf you enjoyed this, be sure to share it with a friend!

J.D. also revealed the Republicans' plans for the midterm elections as President Trump is also ready to hit the campaign trail. And RINO Senator John Thune tonight is warning that Republicans are at risk of losing the midterm elections.

There has been no shortage of dizzying shifts in American foreign policy since Donald Trump returned to the White House last year. But perhaps none have been as surprising as the shift on China. In his first term, Trump helped create a hard-line consensus centered on fears of a growing threat. Now, he seems much more interested in striking deals—as he presumably will be when Xi Jinping comes to Washington later this month. Many analysts of U.S. China policy have reacted to this reversal with dismay. But Jessica Chen Weiss sees it as an opportunity to forge a more sensible approach. Weiss, a professor and the faculty director of the Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and a former State Department official, has warned of the dangers of zero-sum thinking about China in a series of essays for Foreign Affairs. Her most recent essay, in the September/October issue, focuses on the myth and the reality of China's critical mineral dominance. Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke to Weiss on August 31 about what China wants—which is also the title of her forthcoming book—and what U.S. foreign policy can do to meet those ambitions without resorting to dangerous confrontation.

Calli Williams, the Millennial Rancher, joins Farm4Fun to share the story behind TW Angus and what it takes to build a first-generation cattle operation in South Dakota. Calli grew up around cattle, 4-H, and FFA, while her husband Tate grew up without a livestock background and got his start by taking out a loan to buy a couple of heifers. Calli explains how TW Angus balances an annual online bull sale with a growing direct-to-consumer beef business. After deciding in 2020 to stop selling calves through the sale barn, they began finishing cattle themselves and eventually expanded from freezer beef into individual retail cuts, local markets, restaurants, and now beef sticks. The conversation also gets much more personal as Calli recounts Tate's frightening 2023 baler accident, eight surgeries in ten weeks, and the long recovery that followed. It's a powerful reminder about fatigue, farm safety, and the consequences that can come from trying to squeeze in one more job at the end of a long day. Calli also shares how becoming one of ten members of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association Trailblazer Program opened doors for media training, a CNN appearance, and even a trip to the White House. Through social media and agricultural advocacy, she's using those opportunities not only to tell agriculture's story, but to build recognition and opportunity for TW Angus and the next generation.

This episode is sponsored by Revelation Gold Group – Democrats in Congress opposed a resolution to set the number of US Supreme Court justices at the current nine seats. But they also oppose expanding the court while Repubicans are in control of the House, Senate, and White House. So, it seems like they are actually looking to pack the court when they take control of those branches of government. Which made me wonder: Does Roy Cooper support this? We don't know because his website makes no mention of it. And reporters don't ask. Also, does he support socialism? His fellow Democrats also opposed that resolution this week. Maybe a reporter could get around to asking that, too.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerCheck out my preferred gold & silver company: Revelation Gold GroupHelp support Pete's Walk to End Alzheimers here.All the links to Pete's Prep are free!

Are you as obsessed as I am with the dumbest headlines of the week? Well, you're in luck! I've got comedian and pop culture whisperer Rachel LaForce on to break down what Spencer Pratt's mayoral run, the $250 Trump bill, and trad wife content filmed at Home Goods actually say about the rest of us. Rachel got sober by accident, spent decades masking her neurodivergence, and built her whole show around one idea: comedy gets you to the truth faster than seriousness does. This is a fast, sharp, occasionally unhinged hour that somehow keeps landing on self-belief. Notable timestamps: 03:57 – The UFC fight on the White House lawn, and how "healing is hilarious" started as Rachel's own recovery philosophy 12:08 – How she got sober "on accident" during a breakup, and never went back 16:57 – The push-yourself-out-of-the-pool metaphor for knowing you're actually ready for change 20:02 – Spencer Pratt's mayoral run and the self-belief lesson hiding inside it 23:38 – Why she thinks billionaires are boring, and her case for an abundance mindset 27:54 – MacKenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos, and the gender dynamics of wealth 31:45 – Her actual rule for what's fair game to joke about, and why trad wife content makes her sad instead of snarky 37:36 – Cortisol dressing, dopamine dressing, and how marketing invents things to sell women 43:36 – Where to find Rachel and what's next for Healing is Hilarious Rachel LaForce, resources and links: Healing is Hilarious podcast: https://www.rachellaforce.com/podcast Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jliDvkqHQFXyfx9Qh0lr4 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rachel-laforce-show/id1600838616 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@therachellaforce Rachel's website: https://www.rachellaforce.com/ Follow Rachel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachellaforce/ Follow Healing is Hilarious on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healingishilarious/ Skewed Orbit Studios: https://www.skewedorbitstudios.com/ Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

JD Vance takes over the podium in his first solo White House briefing since the departure of the press secretary, and it is a marathon. He opens with fraud task force wins, over 2,000 shut down fraudulent trucking licenses, and a new 65 billion barrel oil reserve born out of the Venezuela deal, before fielding a genuinely sprawling round of questions. Expect a candid breakdown of the ongoing Strait of Hormuz shipping standoff with Iran, a defense of why gas hasn't hit $3 yet, some surprisingly personal banter about weight loss and sauerkraut, and a firm but friendly response to questions about his friendship with a certain controversial commentator. There's talk of manufacturing's hot streak, Supreme Court packing fears, East Palestine, and even a lighthearted moment about who gets called on without a seating chart. It's policy heavy, occasionally funny, and covers an impressive amount of ground for one afternoon.

Your ballot is not cancelled. Sen. Richard Blumenthal released a 20-page complaint describing a rushed September 1 launch, a federal court order standing in the way, and one move that takes you off the list entirely: vote early.An anonymous federal official, represented by Whistleblower Aid, told Congress the Postal Service built its mail ballot verification system in weeks rather than the nine months to a year a project like this normally takes, with internal staff reportedly describing the process in language we cannot print here. Brian Derrick walks through what the system would actually do, why one bad barcode could reject an entire batch, and why the courts have already frozen it. Glennis Meagher makes the case that the panic is fair and the fix is boring: make a voting plan, vote early, and get your name off the turnout lists so campaigns can spend their time on someone who needs the reminder.Then the machinery. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigned after months of friction with Pete Hegseth, six months into the Iran war, leaving the Army without Senate-confirmed leadership in uniform or out of it. The White House confirmed the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital will take a 35 percent stake in North American Blue Energy Partners, the Venezuelan firm owned by Alejandro Betancourt, in a deal signed by Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth that Sen. Jack Reed called a blatant abuse of power and taxpayer dollars. New CDC Director Erica Schwartz pulled two Pennsylvania measles deaths out of the federal tally, the first measles deaths in that state in 35 years. And Speaker Mike Johnson (good Christian man, he is - lol jk) told CNN's Manu Raju he still supports Max Miller's re-election and we have the receipts.Ed Markey held off Seth Moulton, which sets up Brian and Glennis on the actual argument underneath the age fight: what a 51-seat Senate majority means when any single absence gives it away.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, a counter push has started against Luddites who want to prevent industrial and technological progress by banning data centers. Yes, there are legitimate concerns and there will be some little inconveniences, but a flat ban would set America back decades while the enemy moves forward. Also, the Supreme Court, by a 5-4 majority, told a lower court to back off trying to stop President Trump's new White House ballroom. The majority said the plaintiff didn't have standing to sue. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the minority - if it were up to him, he would destroy separation of powers. How does it affect Congress' powers if the President raises private funds for the White House? Then, imams of a Shia Muslim mosque in Dearborn, Michigan pledged its allegiance to the Islamic regime in Iran, calling the U.S. a nation of "devil-worshipers." Most of these mosques in Dearborn are raising future Islamists. The indoctrination of young kids is a poison that spreads into the wider culture. Why do these radical Islamist imams use the language of class warfare and violence? Ali Khamenei told them to use Marxist language and propaganda in the West. Marxism is attractive to Western liberals.  Meanwhile, national conservatism is a form of older paleo conservatism and such isms are not new - like Theodore Roosevelt's progressive nationalism and Huey Long who rebranded fascism as anti-fascism. This echoes Orwell's remark that every government, even communist ones, claims to be a democracy. Words have meanings that politicians often confuse and contort, and conservatives and Republicans should not abandon one of the greatest periods of conservatism and Republicanism in the 80's, just as they should not abandon Trump. Later, certain infrastructure, including Kharg island, must be taken out and the Iranian people armed. Even if the regime's leaders lack money, they remain like World War II Japanese kamikazes: religious zealots who treated the Emperor as God on earth, prayed, fought, and lived for him—the product of nationalism. The Iranian regime will not surrender for its people's good or because its military is defeated, and any document or negotiation it signs is merely an ends-justifies-the-means tactic. The regime must therefore be obliterated and eliminated. The only real way to overthrow it is from within; the President has created the conditions for that, but unless further steps are taken the concern remains that collapse could simply produce another such regime. Finally, Stacy Garrity calls in to discuss her run for Governor in Pennsylvania against Josh Shapiro. Shapiro appears to view himself as a lock for governor, but Garrity argues he has major weaknesses and is more focused on national ambitions than helping Pennsylvania families. Shapiro has never faced a serious opponent or a negative ad in over a decade, so voters still see him as a moderate when he is not. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we're taking a break and sharing something special, from Talk Easy, part of our podcast network at Higher Ground.On Talk Easy, host Sam Fragoso shares deeply researched conversations with actors, politicians, activists and so many others, getting guests to open up in ways they haven't before. In this episode, Sam talks with Mrs. Obama. They get into her pivot to podcasting, her version of doomscrolling, and why these times are janky. She describes the complicated dynamics of life inside (and outside) the White House, the enduring influence of her late mother, the beloved Marian Robinson, and how her hard-fought belief in the American people has never faltered.

Description Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles look at the extraordinary power dynamics surrounding Donald Trump, beginning with Melania Trump's increasingly independent role—and how she has managed to monetize the position of First Lady while largely avoiding its traditional obligations. They also examine Trump's White House ballroom and a Supreme Court decision that may allow construction to continue, the president's attacks on NBC's Kristen Welker and the growing fear his administration inspires across the media, and Pete Hegseth's purge of experienced military leaders at a moment of heightened global danger. Then the conversation turns to an unlikely political flashpoint: data centers, as growing public opposition to their enormous demands for power and water collides with Trump's fierce support for the AI industry—and his own financial interests.

He also takes on Laura Ingraham by name over her “never Trump” attack, […]

On Monday, the Supreme Court decided 5–4 to allow President Trump to continue above-ground construction on his White House ballroom project. The unsigned order pauses a federal judge's halt on above-ground construction, stating the plaintiff likely lacks legal standing. However, the majority did not decide whether Trump has the legal authority to build the ballroom without congressional approval, and litigation will continue in lower courts.Ad-free podcasts are here!Get 20% off your first year of ad-free episodes, exclusive interviews, and deep dives with Tangle's podcast membership!Get texts from us.The news cycle is heating up as we head into the midterms, and you can follow along with us every step of the way.

Will Donald Trump's new oil deal with Venezuela actually lower gas prices at the pump, or is it political optics? In this video, we break down the claims surrounding the White House's agreement with Venezuela involving 65 billion barrels of subterranean crude oil. From the fine print involving Barbados-headquartered North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP) and businessman Alejandro Betancourt, to the massive infrastructure hurdles facing Venezuela's oil sector, we separate energy market facts from campaign narrative. In this video, we cover: • The reality behind the "65 billion barrels" claim and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve • The role of NABEP, private oil leases, and taxpayer risk exposure • Why energy economists agree this deal won't lower short-term gas prices • Major oil companies like ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips hesitating over contract sanctity • The legal and constitutional questions surrounding interim President Delcy Rodríguez • How public financial guarantees socialize risk while privatizing profit Key Takeaways: Raw crude trapped thousands of feet underground cannot immediately affect global crude markets or retail pump prices. Developing these unrefined fields requires hundreds of billions in capital expenditures and years of work. Discover why this high-risk arrangement benefits private corporate interests while leaving American taxpayers on the hook. #energypolicy #GasPrices #OilMarket #Venezuela #Trump #Midterms #EconomicPolicy #StrategicPetroleumReserve Independent media has never been more important.

We learn about airshow photography as we talk with a private pilot and UAV operator. In the news: Textron's new president and CEO, controllers and the fatal Air Canada Express crash, Marine One communications with DCA tower, Boeing's new F-15 contract, the TSA’s Gold+ privatized airport screening program, and the Airlink low pass over a Cape Town stadium. Thunderbird F-16 in flight. All photographs courtesy Logan Lynch. Guest Logan Lynch is a lifelong avgeek who loves photographing aircraft. He's attended AirVenture since 2018, where he can usually be found on the flight line with a camera glued to his face. Be sure to look through Logan’s 2026 EAA Airventure photo gallery for a sample of his work. As we talk about airshow photography, we learn that Logan owns very little photo gear and prefers to rent long zoom lenses from Lensrentals.com. We talk about good focal lengths, using a monopod (especially for fast jets), and a tripod for night shows. Logan spends the entire day shooting at a show, and he explains the accessories he carries, like lots of batteries, memory cards, and a cleaning kit. We talk about shooting RAW vs. JPG and editing images in Lightroom. Logan addresses the challenge of getting the right amount of prop blur and the importance of panning. We also explore tips for shooters who might only have the camera in their phone. An example of prop blur and panning on the Skip Stewart PITTS S-2S. Logan is a part owner of a 1966 Cessna 150F nicknamed Graham Cracker, and also a full-time UAV Operator and LDAR Technician for a major oil and gas producer out of North Dakota. He started Lynch Drone Photography in 2021 as an idea to generate a little extra income, but plans to expand it. Logan earned a Bachelor's in Aviation Management from Utah Valley University and serves as board treasurer for his local airport. The F-22 Raptor. The night show at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024. Aviation News After Eight Years as President and CEO, Ron Draper Announces Retirement; Brian Rohloff to Lead Textron Aviation Forward Effective August 31, 2026, Ron Draper retired as president and CEO of Textron, with Brian Rohloff replacing him. Rohloff most recently served as senior vice president of Customer Support, overseeing global customer support operations, including service center capacity, parts availability, and AOG (aircraft-on-ground) response. Rohloff joined Cessna Aircraft Co. in 2009 as a production manager, and held positions including vice president of quality, vice president of sales, senior product director for the Citation XLS and Citation X lines, and director of paint operations. FAA seeks to fire two controllers who left early before fatal Air Canada crash On March 22, 2026, an Air Canada Express CRJ-900 collided with a fire truck at New York's LaGuardia Airport, killing both pilots. That night, two controllers left about an hour before the end of their shift, leaving two controllers to cover the tower. They remained recorded as working, in a practice known as “early shove.” ABC News reported that the two departing controllers were not needed to provide the normal minimum staffing for that time of night. The FAA has not said that the absence of the two controllers contributed to the accident. NATCA said it was discussing the allegations with FAA management. The NTSB has not determined the probable cause of the accident. New tech at Portland Jetport aims to boost safety New grant money will help Portland [Maine] International Jetport pay for location transponders in 57 airfield vehicles. The FAA is providing $200,000 while the state and the airport are contributing smaller amounts. Portland Jetport Director Paul Bradbury said, “…the tragedy in LaGuardia happened at midnight, right? It’s dark; it’s hard for controllers to see. This will make it another opportunity for them to see exactly where every vehicle is on the airfield.”  White House construction contributed to radio problems that let Trump copter come close to jet Several times controllers at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport failed to hear the standard three-minute warning call that Marine One was getting ready to take off. Marine One is using the Ellipse while the new helipad is being constructed behind the White House. This caused the radio receiver to be moved to a different location. Now the FAA has adjusted the antenna “to improve communications” between Marine One and the airport. Boeing nabs whopping $131 billion F-15 deal The U.S. Department of War, in its Contracts for Aug. 24, 2026, says that it has awarded Boeing “a $131,230,000,000 ceiling, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for the F-15 Eagle Crest in support of the F-15 Program Office. This contract provides for aircraft production, systems integration, modernization, upgrades, retrofits, sustainment, and the establishment of organic depot maintenance capabilities to deliver and maintain critical F-15 Eagle Weapon System capabilities for the Air Force, Air National Guard, and other Department of War customers. Work will be performed at St. Louis, Missouri, and is expected to be completed by August 2037.” TSA Scraps Gold+ Privatized Airport Screening Program After 3 Months The Gold+ private airport screening program, which would privatize TSA screening, has been scrapped. In a previous web page (now taken down), the TSA explained Gold+: “TSA Gold+ is a new public-private partnership aimed at modernizing aviation security at select airports across the United States. TSA Gold+ will pair the Screening Partnership Program with TSA's innovation authorities to enable cutting-edge aviation security solutions. “Under TSA Gold+, TSA will continue to set the standards for aviation security using outcome-based measures that both drive performance and security. Long-term Screening Partnership Program (currently a TSA private screener contract model) contracts will redirect funds into the investable partnerships where leading industry operators can manage both technology and screening workforce.” Reasons cited for dropping the program: Only three airports (Tampa, Charleston, and Des Moines) were interested in the Gold+ protocols. Tampa International Airport performed “an extensive review and evaluation over several months” and announced it would not adopt Gold+. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), representing TSA screening officers, sued the TSA to force it to turn over records about TSA Gold+. The TSA announced it will replace the Gold+ program with an “evolved” version of the existing public-private Screening Partnership Program (SPP). It was launched in 2002, where private companies hire and manage screening personnel while the TSA oversees operations. The SPP currently includes 20 U.S. airports. Airlink pilots caught on video flying dangerously close to South African sports stadium Two Airlink Embraer E190 passenger jets executed a flyover before a match at Cape Town's DHL Stadium filled with some 60,000 fans. Airlink is a regional airline based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Flightradar24 calculated that the aircraft flew as low as 41–46 ft (12.5–14 m) above the top of the stadium. This generated widespread reaction about the safety of the spectacle. Some were appalled; others argued this was entirely in line with South African values. Airlink says the South African Civil Aviation Authority approved the flyover and has offered to provide the black box data showing they complied with the waiver’s altitude and speed requirements. The airline said, “The two aircraft were flown by highly-experienced crew, with each comprised of three senior captains operating in the roles of commander, co-pilot and safety/technical officer. The flight data recorded by both aircraft confirms that the flights were performed within the SACAA's approved and rehearsed safety altitude and speed limits for the flypast.” See also: VIDEOS: Airlink responds to concern planes got ‘too close' to CT Stadium Airlink Flyover Sparks Global Outrage, But What Actually Happened Above DHL Stadium?

Marine One. A departing passenger jet. A communications failure. And a safety system that didn't work as intended. What really happened on August 4, 2026, when President Trump's Marine One helicopter departed the White House area at almost the same time an Envoy Air Embraer E170 was taking off from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport? In this episode of Flight Safety Detectives, Todd Curtis and John Goglia take a close look at the NTSB's preliminary report and what it reveals about one of the most closely watched aviation incidents of the year. Marine One flights are supposed to receive special handling: air traffic controllers should get a three-minute warning before the helicopter departs, allowing departing traffic at National Airport to be stopped. But on August 4, that warning never reached the controllers. The result? Marine One and the regional jet were airborne in the same area at the same time. Todd and John break down the communications failure, the unique challenges of operating around Reagan National, and why meeting the FAA's minimum separation requirements isn't necessarily enough when special procedures are supposed to protect a presidential helicopter. Todd also revisits several assumptions he and John made immediately after the incident. John brings a unique perspective from his years at the NTSB, explaining just how difficult it can be to manage the extraordinarily complex airspace around National Airport and why he believes more needs to be done to address the underlying safety challenges. And there's an even bigger reason to pay attention: another Marine One communications problem occurred on August 27—just after the NTSB released its preliminary findings from the August 4 incident. What does this second communications problem tell us about whether the underlying safety issues have really been fixed? Watch this episode for Todd and John's detailed analysis of the NTSB findings, the communication breakdown, the challenges of protecting the airspace around Reagan National, and the lessons aviation safety professionals should take from this incident.

The next big advertising opportunity is here. The audio systems in Dollar General's 21,000 stores connect shoppers with advertisers and drive loyalty. Austin Leonard, VP and GM of Dollar General Media Network (DGMN), sits down with Phillip and Alicia to explain why the retailer has doubled down on audio and the role that non-endemic advertisers play in his long-term vision. “The Cocktail Party Effect” Key takeaways: In-store audio is getting programmatic optimization so DG's sponsors can serve ads at the best time of day and in the best-suited markets. Non-endemic only works in-store if it clears the near-endemic bar: shopper relevance. Dollar General's 21,000 stores across suburban, urban, and rural markets are often the only stores in town, making its ad inventory a community utility. The Yellow Glasses Project pairs brand partners with the DG Literacy Foundation via iHeartRadio. [00:18:10] Phillip: "This is the power that I think audio has that nothing else has; it can catch your attention even when you're focused on something else." [00:32:40] Austin Leonard: "I call that the last mile of eCommerce for the last mile of America."

A man with a fairytale castle in upstate New York who keeps trying to make a self-produced reality show about "princesses" happen — and become a modern-day Hugh Hefner. A man who got famous on YouTube for lawn care who ends up filming himself as a baby — and has a SWAT team called to his house. These stories form the backbone of Jon Ronson's journey into the world of "unraveling men." Those two men's stories are exceptional, but they're also an entry point into a subject area I like to think of as "WTF is going on with dudes right now."

The White House is America's house, but who gets to decide what happens to it? In this episode, the speaker takes us on a journey through the history of presidential renovations, from Theodore Roosevelt's West Wing to Donald Trump's ballroom. We'll explore the fascinating story of how the White House has been remade over the years, and what it means for the separation of powers.The speaker shares a personal anecdote about their own experience visiting the White House, where they met with a friend who was a lawyer and had a unique perspective on the inner workings of the building. They also delve into the history of the White House, highlighting the significant changes made by various presidents, including TR, who built the West Wing, and FDR, who added the East Wing. The speaker argues that the current controversy over the ballroom is not just about aesthetics, but about the fundamental question of who gets to decide what happens to the White House.The Supreme Court's recent decision to clear the way for the ballroom's construction has sparked debate, with some arguing that the president can simply do what he wants with the building. But the speaker makes a compelling case that this is not the case, citing the 1912 statute that requires Congress's approval for any major changes to the White House. They also explore the implications of private funding for the project, which has raised questions about the role of donors and the potential for corruption.In this episode, the speaker takes us on a fascinating journey through the history and politics of the White House, revealing the complex web of power and influence that surrounds this iconic building. If you're interested in learning more about the story behind the ballroom and the implications for our democracy, tune in to this episode to hear the full discussion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(Courtesy Office of Army Cemeteries) The remains of 12 Native children who died while attending the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania are beginning their journeys home. The Office of Army Cemeteries is beginning its latest round of disinterments at the Carlisle Barracks Post Cemetery. The children died more than a century ago while attending the federal boarding school, which operated from 1879 to 1918. Carlisle became a model for the federal Indian boarding school system, where Native children were separated from their families and communities and forced to abandon their languages and cultures. Families and Tribal leaders are gathering at Carlisle as the remains are prepared to return to their homelands. According to ICT, this marks the ninth round of disinterments at the cemetery. The 12 students include four Alaska Native children and students from several Tribal Nations across the country. The repatriation process is scheduled to continue through October 12th, as descendants and communities bring the children home more than a century after their deaths.

(Photo: Brian Bull) Violence prevention, victim advocacy and MMIP services across Indian Country are dealing with disruptions and cuts at the federal level, as Brian Bull of Underscore Native News and KLCC reports. A recent report from the Urban Indian Health Institute says more than 200 programs and organizations have lost funds or cut back services since President Donald Trump began his second term. Whether through the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” or initiatives against programs the White House deems “DEI” — diversity, equity and inclusion — or “woke”, many Native services are seeing support eroding. Nearly two-thirds of respondents said they were “substantially impacted” by funding cuts since January 2025, with 60% of unmet need requests for safe housing support. UIHI director Abigail Echo-Hawk said this will exacerbate issues for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People crisis. “They're staying in their cars, they're becoming homeless, they're in shelters with their children, then having to move from one shelter to another. And in the worst case scenarios – that I know is happening – they're going back to the people that are abusing them because they don't want their children to become homeless, or they're in such desperate circumstances, they have no other choice.” State Representative Tawna Sanchez (Shoshone-Bannock and Ute descent), D-Oregon, has worked on MMIP and other Native issues. She is worried about how the Trump administration's continued implementation of HR 1 will affect marginalized communities and vulnerable populations. “The larger issue, right now, obviously, is: how do we value human life? Any life. And we have only begun to feel the effects of HR 1. The real effects are coming. And they're going to be hard.” Some Native advocates including Echo-Hawk say educating lawmakers can help. She said some anti-DEI initiatives have been reversed as tribes are political entities, not DEI. Another advocate, Desiree Coyote, is the family violence services program manager for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. She says there is an obligation from the federal government to honor all treaties signed with tribes. “This is part of what they agreed to do with us as tribal nations to help us ensure and protect our community in regards to public safety. I look forward to when the tribal nations – in regards to their sovereignty, as a way of ensuring intimate partner violence, sexual assault, dating violence, missing and murdered – are addressed quickly and in a meaningful way that benefits the people we serve.” The report, titled “Sacred Responsibility: Protecting Our People“, includes recommendations for tribal and federal agencies.

Trump promised the Reflecting Pool would be fixed in two weeks for $2 million. It took months, cost $14.7 million on a no-bid contract to a company that lines highway culverts, turned Kermit-green, and ended with a 67-year-old Olympic canoeist arrested for touching the water.Matt Robison is joined by Shane Almgren — writer of The Trumpland Diary and a former Donald Trump employee who worked the pool at Mar-a-Lago — to walk through the full, largely untold story of the Reflecting Pool fiasco, and then to make a bigger argument: this isn't chaos, and it isn't madness. It's a pattern.Every Trump disaster runs the same five stages: (1) the grandiose promise, (2) the skipped due diligence, (3) the fast failure, (4) the refinance — doubling down with new lies to cover the old ones, and (5) reality intrudes, and somebody else pays the bill. Never him.Which leads to the line at the center of this conversation, and of the joint article Matt and Shane published the next day: he's not crazy. He's been trained. Fifty years of being bailed out — first by his father, then by lenders, then by buyers, and now by the American taxpayer — taught him this playbook works. He's a rational actor responding to the incentives he's always been given.We apply the same five stages to the East Wing demolition and the White House ballroom, and to the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia — because once you see the pattern, you see it everywhere, and you can start fighting it at stage one instead of stage five.A note on the audio and video: this stream ran into serious technical problems and was Substack-only.

Weeks after a Republican campaign committee called AI data centers the "anchor hanging around" GOP candidates' necks, Trump weighs in to say that all Americans who oppose data center construction are "backwards and poor" — while he digs in on the trade war with Canada and the hot war with Iran. No wonder a leading Republican senator tells Politico that Trump — and the whole party — are "in serious trouble." Jon, Lovett, and Tommy try to make sense of Trump's choices at home and abroad, process the latest from the courts on mail-in voting and the White House ballroom, discuss Abdul El-Sayed's apology to Michigan's Jewish community, and react to the latest racist provocation from Laura Loomer. Then, Tommy sits down with Aaron Ford, the Democratic nominee for governor in Nevada.Hate listening to ads?
