    Comedian Steph Tolev joins Adam in the studio to discuss her new Netflix special Filth Queen, the mental toll of online trolls, and unhinged social media comments. They dive into the pressure comedians face over appearances, from nose jobs to iconic stand-up outfits. Steph talks about her podcast tour, a touching letter her dad received, and how her mother wanted her to run their highland dance studio. Plus, she and Adam rant about dumb commercial tropes, Adam pitches a new product idea, they vent about oddly spelled names, and weigh in on the viral clip of Theo Von allegedly shoving a fan.Later, author and commentator Michael Malice calls in to talk about his new book, Not Sick of Winning: A History of President Trump's First 100 Days, and the strange trend of liberal men crossing their legs “like women.” He and Adam dissect the manipulation of language in political discourse, revisit Trump's controversial “China virus” comment, and engage in a thought experiment on the difference between builders and talkers. They also discuss what it would actually take to fix California—and whether New York's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is part of the problem or the solution.In the news, comedian Rudy Pavich stops by to break down some wild headlines. First up, The Simpsons shocks fans by killing off Marge in the Season 36 finale, prompting Adam to reflect on his voice work as Death on Family Guy. Then, they react to Florida's controversial plan to detain migrants in a new Everglades facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”—a low-cost, high-risk detention center surrounded by dangerous wildlife. Finally, they unpack the bizarre saga of disgraced influencer “Liver King,” who was arrested in Texas after posting unhinged videos and challenging Joe Rogan to a fight.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH STEPH TOLEV:INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @stephtolevNETFLIX SPECIAL: Filth QueenFOR MORE WITH RUDY PAVICH:INSTAGRAM: @rudy_pavichWEBSITE: www.rudypavichcomedy.comFOR MORE WITH MICHAEL MALICE:INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @michaelmaliceBOOK: Not Sick Of Winning: A History of President Trumps First 100 DaysThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlinetry.drinkbrez.com/CAROLLA/ and use code CAROLLA for a $5 credit and free shipping on your first orderListen to Cocaine Air wherever you get your podcastsHomes.comPluto.tvSIMPLISAFE.COM/ADAMLIVE SHOWS: July 10 - Irvine, CA (Live Podcast)July 11-12 - Covina, CA (4 shows)July 17 - Plymouth, WIJuly 19 - Plymouth, WISee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, it's important to hold the isolationists like Chatsworth Qatarlson (Tucker Carlson), Steve Bannon, and Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene accountable. They have undermined President Trump and aided enemies by opposing action against Iran's nuclear program. They attack Trump despite benefiting from his actions or pardons. They are dangerous liars who seek to undermine Trump's presidency. These isolationists engage in character assassination rather than legitimate policy disagreement, particularly Qatarlson's accusation that Trump is complicit in risking World War III. We should ignore their so-called influencers. Also, Iran has been militarily defeated by Israel and had its nuclear program destroyed by U.S. forces under Trump. Despite these setbacks, the enemy persists. Questions remain about whether any ceasefire with a terrorist regime known for decades of violence, deception, and refusal to abandon nuclear ambitions will work. Trump is to be trusted. He wants to win for America and his record is stellar. Let's see how it goes. Later, New York City Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa calls in to discuss the NYC Democratic primary, Andrew Cuomo vs Zohran Mamdani, an Islamist. Sliwa warns that Mamdani's potential victory could lead to a massive flight from NYC, further draining investment, and businesses. Sliwa is a solution to restore law and order, urging voters to ‘improve, don't move' by electing him. Later, the "only one missile was fired into Israel" argument wouldn't fly if only one missile is fired into our country -- especially after hundreds of these missiles had already been fired into our country aimed at our cities. Would that be ok with us? Of course not. And let us reiterate to our enemies, that it would not be ok. Finally, Daniel Flesch, Senior Policy Analyst for Middle East Policy at the Heritage Foundation, calls in and explains that Israel and the U.S. decisively set back Iran's nuclear ambitions and military capabilities in days. Israel's strikes, echoing the 1967 Six Day War, and the U.S.'s precise operation signaled to Iran, Russia, and China a readiness to use swift force to protect interests, strengthening regional dominance and U.S.-Israel ties, though risking Iranian retaliation.

    Our Australia Materials Analyst Rahul Anand discusses why critical minerals may be the Achilles' heel of humanoids as demand significantly outpaces supply amid geopolitical uncertainties.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Rahul Anand: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Rahul Anand, Head of Morgan Stanley's Australia Materials Research team.Today, I'll dig deeper into one of the vital necessities for the development of robotics – critical minerals – and why they're so vital to be front of mind for the Western world today. It's Wednesday, June 25th at 8am in Sydney, Australia. Humanoid robots will soon become an integral part of our daily lives. A few weeks ago, you heard my colleagues Adam Jonas and Sheng Zhong discuss how humanoids are going to transform the economy and markets. Morgan Stanley Research expects this market to reach more than a billion units by 2050 and generate almost [$] 5 trillion in annual revenue. When we think about that market, and we think about what it could do for critical minerals demand, that could skyrocket. And the key areas of critical minerals demand would basically be focused on rare earths, lithium and graphite. Each one of these complex machines is going to require about a kilo of rare earths, 2 kgs of lithium, 6.5 kgs kilos of copper, 1.5 kgs of nickel, 3 kgs of graphite, and about 200 grams of cobalt. Importantly, this market from a cumulative standpoint by the year 2050, could be to the tune of about $800 billion U.S., which is staggering.And beyond that market size of $800 billion U.S., I think it's important to drill a bit deeper – because if we now consider how these markets are dominated currently, comes the China angle. And China currently dominates 88 percent of rare earth supply, 93 percent of graphite supply and 75 percent of refined lithium supply. China recently placed controls on seven heavy rare earths and permanent magnet exports in response to tariff announcements that were made by the U.S., and a comprehensive deal there is still awaited. It's very important that we have to think about diversification today, not just because these critical minerals are so heavily dominated by China. But more importantly, if we think about how the supply chain comes about, it's now taking circa 18 years to get a new mine online, and that's the statistic for the past five years of mines that came online. That number is up nearly 50 percent from last decade, and that's been driven basically by very long approval processes now in the Western world, alongside very long exploration times that are required to get some of these mines up and running. On top of that, when we think about the supply demand balance, by 2040 we're expecting that the NdPr, or the rare earth, market would be in a 26 percent deficit. Lithium could be in a deficit close to 80 percent. So, it's not just about supply security. It's also about how long it will take to bring these mines on. And on top of that, how big the amount of supply that's required is really going to be. I know when you think about 2040, it sounds very long dated, but it's important to understand that we have to act now. And in this humanoid piece of research that we have done as the global materials team, which was led by the Australian materials team, we basically have provided 34 global stocks to play this thematic in the rare earths, lithium and rare earth magnet space. It's also very important to remember and keep front of mind that as part of the London negotiations that happened between U.S. and China, no agreement was reached on critical military use rare earth magnets and exports. Now that's an important point because that's going to play as a key point of leverage in any future trade deal that comes about between the two countries. This remains an evolving situation, and this is something that we are going to continue monitoring and will bring you the latest on as time progresses.Look, thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review and share thoughts on the market with a friend or colleague today.

    Devastation is the distraction, and the world is not being allowed to see. When will the focus shift back to Gaza? Resetting the camera angle for a convincing story. You are never locked out from learning more. Never say you are not good at politics. Gridlock excuses inaction. Leadership thrives when we feel helpless. The dirty details on the Iran debacle. Amplifying the need for clarity. The stage is on fire, and truth gets smoked out in distractions. The problem isn't chaos, it's multi-domain cleansing. Life is about planting the right seeds.

    The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important energy corridors in the world. It is the only sea route from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean, it serves as the primary maritime route for oil exports from the Gulf. Any disruption to traffic through the strait would have implications for oil markets and regional stability.While some Gulf states have developed pipelines to bypass the strait, the volume of oil transported by sea is far greater, and for many countries, including key Gulf exporters, the waterway is essential to maintaining trade. China is the largest buyer of oil that travels through the strait, making it particularly exposed to any disruption.Iran itself relies on the Strait of Hormuz to sell its oil and any blockage of the route would likely damage Iran's own economy and could strain relationships with regional neighbours.Despite past threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway has remained open, including during the tanker wars of the 1980s, but any disruption could have a big impact on global oil supplies.Picture Credit: Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesContributors: Camille Lons, Deputy Head of the Paris office of the Council on Foreign relations Elisabeth Braw, Senior fellow with the Atlantic Council's Transatlantic Security Initiative in the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and SecurityJacob P.

    AI just taught me this cool thing... keep on listening to find out what it is! Today we talk about the massive and fast-moving implications of AI. We share the personal experiences with how AI challenges traditional business structures and workflows, requiring users to reimagine how work is done. We also explores how AI may replace many functions within organizations, from marketing to operations, while still lacking in areas like math accuracy and sales conversations. We also talk about Mary Meeker's AI report, noting unprecedented user adoption, the rapid rise of global competitors like China's DeepSeek, and the prediction that LLMs will become personal, customizable, and nearly costless. We need to rethink AI's role in business, its deflationary impact on cost, and how fast-changing technology may render old tools and concepts obsolete.  We discuss...  How humor and sarcasm could be the final frontier in distinguishing AI from humans. The greatest investment in AI is learning how to use it personally and professionally. How limited human imagination, not technology, is the biggest barrier to innovation with AI. AI's limitations in math were noted, with a warning not to fully trust it as a CFO despite its operational usefulness. AI isn't quite ready for high-touch sales calls but is rapidly closing the gap in other business areas. Global AI adoption is surging, with China's DeepSeek gaining ground quickly through much lower-cost models. Token costs have dropped nearly 100% in two years, and energy efficiency in GPUs has improved drastically. With the penny going out of circulation, it might be time to start saving them as collectibles. AI development curves are moving much faster than traditional SaaS models, making this a truly disruptive moment in tech. Meta's LLaMA has been downloaded 1.2 billion times in 10 weeks, with over 100,000 derivative models created. The performance gap between open-source and closed AI models is shrinking rapidly, with DeepSeek nearly matching OpenAI on benchmarks. The AI ecosystem is becoming decentralized, much like the shift from centralized platforms to blockchain-based alternatives. Decentralization is praised for enabling free speech, innovation, and diversity of thought, unlike centralized control. Most employees are already using AI tools like ChatGPT personally, even if companies haven't officially adopted them. AI is increasing personal productivity, but there's concern it may ultimately compress work rather than improve quality of life. Over 60,000 new AI-related job titles have emerged in just two years, indicating a massive career reshuffle. Without earned knowledge, people can misuse powerful tools like AI, just as they did with nuclear weapons. The future with AI could resemble either Skynet or Star Trek, and no one truly knows which way it will go. There is risk of psychological strain and social dysfunction if people are displaced without purpose. AI tools can now bypass paywalls and summarize articles, challenging traditional media revenue models. The current wealth gap and collapse of the middle class is unprecedented, even before full-scale AI disruption. Decentralized AI (e.g., having your own local models) is seen as essential to maintain independence and avoid manipulation. A growing imbalance of more sellers than buyers suggests further downward pressure on real estate prices. Political pressure is influencing Fed policy, with previous rate cuts seen as potentially timed to impact elections. Global conflict, such as recent Middle East tensions, is having surprisingly little impact on the stock market. Investors should focus on risk management given the unpredictability and detachment from fundamentals.

    Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Adrian Day, CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management and Manager of the Euro Pacific Gold Fund, to discuss the economic and monetary landscape under President Trump's second term, the implications of tariffs, and the outlook for gold and other commodities. Adrian begins by addressing the potential impact of Trump's trade policies, particularly tariffs, on inflation and the global financial system. He argues that while tariffs are often seen as inflationary, they can be deflationary by reducing demand for certain goods. However, he warns that a weakening U.S. dollar and a potential loss of its reserve currency status could lead to higher inflation domestically, as dollars previously held abroad return to the U.S. Adrian emphasizes that while the U.S. dollar's dominance is not immediately threatened, Trump's policies could accelerate its decline, with significant consequences for the economy. The conversation then shifts to the U.S. debt market, where Adrian highlights the challenges of financing the growing deficit. He notes that major buyers of U.S. Treasuries, such as China and Japan, are reducing their holdings, and domestic buyers like regional banks and the Federal Reserve are also pulling back. This could lead to higher interest rates and increased pressure on the U.S. economy. Adrian predicts that the Federal Reserve may eventually return to quantitative easing (QE) to support the bond market, which would be bullish for gold. He also discusses the disconnect between gold prices and gold mining stocks, attributing it to the lack of participation from North American investors. However, he believes this is changing as economic conditions shift, with gold stocks offering significant value and expanding margins. Adrian also touches on other commodities, particularly copper and uranium, which he sees as critical for the global energy transition. He concludes by advising investors to focus on value rather than price, emphasizing that the gold market is still in its early stages of a bull run.

    Daily Emunah Podcast - Daily Emunah By Rabbi David Ashear

    The Gemara in Masechet Avodah Zarah tells a remarkable story about Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, who was afflicted with severe intestinal pain. As a remedy, he required a particular apple cider that was produced only by idolaters. To ensure its kashrut—that it contained no wine—it needed to have been stored for seventy years. Naturally, Rabbi Yehuda was not in a position to wait that long. His attendants searched until they discovered a man who had an entire storeroom filled with seventy-year-old bottles of this cider. Rabbi Yehuda drank the cider and was cured. In response, he proclaimed: "Baruch HaMakom SheMasar Olamo LeShomrim" —Blessed is Hashem who entrusts His world to guardians. He praised Hashem for planting the idea in someone's mind to store that cider decades earlier, so that it would be ready at just the right moment. This story has a striking parallel in modern times. Recently, the American Air Force deployed fourteen bunker-buster bombs to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities that posed a threat to Israel. These were said to be the only bombs in the world that could penetrate the depths necessary to destroy the underground nuclear facility. These highly specialized bombs had never before been used in warfare. Developed about fifteen years ago, each bomb costs millions of dollars, and the aircraft capable of delivering them costs over $2 billion. These powerful weapons, designed and built long ago, had been waiting for the exact moment they would be used to protect Am Yisrael. Baruch HaMakom SheMasar Olamo LeShomrim. In the past week alone, we have witnessed numerous miracles—clear signs of Hashem's hand in our lives. A missile struck Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva, hitting the exact location of the internal medicine department. Yet miraculously, just the day before, the staff had worked with incredible urgency to evacuate all patients to an underground facility that had never before been used as a regular hospital unit. Only after everyone was safely relocated did the missile hit. What caused that sudden urgency? It was Hashem guiding their hearts. In Haifa, a Belzer family lived in an old building with no safe rooms and no bomb shelter. Sirens didn't sound in their area, but when they received a phone warning, they ran to the dining room and huddled under their table. Minutes later, their apartment took a direct hit. Half of it collapsed—but every family member, including small children, was rescued without a scratch. So many other miracles continue to emerge. Over 1,000 drones and more than 400 ballistic missiles were launched at Israel, and yet we were protected time and again. So many potential escalations could have taken place—Russia could have gotten involved, but Hashem kept them occupied with another war. China could have entered the conflict, but Hashem held them back. Baruch HaShem , the war has ended. May we always be zocher to recognize the loving hand of Hashem shielding His people from harm and orchestrating every detail of salvation—even decades in advance.

So what's fuelling today's Neo-Maoist movement and nostalgia for that period?In 1966, the Chinese revolutionary leader Mao Zedong went to war against his own government.What followed was ten years of murderous violence and utter insanity, until Mao's death in 1976.Children were urged to denounce their parents, teachers were beaten to death in front of howling mobs, youths were 're-educated', the economy was ruined, and so much of the precious cultural heritage of a great, ancient society went up in smoke.The 'Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution' left such deep scars on China, that subsequent leaders have tried to bury its memory.But, still some young Chinese people — 'Neo-Moaists' — have a sense of nostalgia for the violent revolution they didn't even live through.In order to understand what's going on in China today, you need to know what happened in those strange and terrifying years, and how it affected President Xi Zinping, who had a front row seat to the terror.Further informationBombard the Headquarters is published by Black Inc.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.This episode of Conversations explores political violence, revolution, propaganda, China, Asia, totalitarianism, Farewell my Concubine, Asia Pacific, Lenin, Marxism, Socialism, civil war, the long march, neo-Maoist movement, great leap forward, political upheaval, class warfare, status quo, drain the swamp, mass murder, infanticide, conspiracy theories, Tiananmen Square, red guards, coup, dictatorship, nostalgia.

    Today, I'm sharing a story I wrote for the Adventure Travel Trade Association in 2024. It's about Yuimaru, the Okinawan spirit of cooperation that helped Okinawans move on from the tragedy of World War II.Okinawa is a small subtropical island in the East China Sea, halfway between China and Japan. In 1945, it endured one of the worst battles of the war, known as the Battle of Okinawa, during which an estimated 200,000 people, most of them Okinawan civilians, lost their lives.Last November, I celebrated my birthday in Okinawa. This year, I'm returning to the island on a very special Going Places women-only trip.We'll be traveling in the footsteps of Amamikiyo, the goddess who created the world, according to Okinawan beliefs, and spend time with a yuta, a practicing female shaman, in the northern mountain villages.

    News of a ceasefire in the Israel-Iran-US conflict was met with cheers from much of the MAGA movement, who believed they could finally engage in their own ceasefire of firing off justifications for the lack peace. It was announced as a “https://www.npr.org/2025/06/23/g-s1-74059/iran-attack-us-bases-iraq-qatar?fbclid=IwY2xjawLHXKlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETF3QjhuM05yVkphM28yeTJyAR5sL4ve-8fBM78ziM5d_aTxQd56LsgInEnwwEiTyLI43mkOh7raQUPima3yOg_aem_Qg4v6KvGaBWCKif4los39A” though the President wrote that “there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE.” But the United States cannot lie about a fake feud with Israel, lie to Iran about peace negotiations, assist the Israelis in assassinating the top peace diplomat, and lie to the American public about not being involved and not getting involved, and then proceed to bomb that country directly and demand peace, while threatening https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-considering-tactical-nukes-against-iran-what-we-know-2088461. In other words, claiming that you got peace in a war you started and lied about is a masterclass in gaslighting and deception Then, to further claim to claim that a staggered ceasefire is an absolute cease-fire, when a staggered cease-fire is informal, and not an armistice ceasefire. Peace or not, this is an important little detail, because multiple cease-fires that Trump worked out between Israel and what we call Hamas have been broken by Israel. The same types of cease-fires were broken under the Biden ministration as well by Israel. So it's possible they are lying about a ceasefire so when Iran continues firing missiles they become the aggressor and magically…regime change, which Trump https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/trump-says-iran-may-need-regime-change/ar-AA1He2Nybefore the supposed deal.As https://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-place-called-armageddon-6-17-25--66585678: Just as Mariam Adelson called Trump the “savior of the Jewish people,” it appears he will be both the deceiver and the bringer of peace on the world stage. They will create peace from the chaos and once again break it as part of the art of tribulation.” And in a https://x.com/TST___Radio/status/1937467453866672594 16 post: If “peace” comes about through war then Trump, who green lit the operation, will be painted as the savior of Israel just like Adelson predicted. It would be a double ruse; lying to Iran, bombing them, then stepping in to grant fake peace. They are creating Biblical prophecy to strip Muslims and Christians of their faith.”It all fits in to the manufactured prophecy about peace, and the belief that Mariam Adelson, who gave Trump $100 million, has that Trump is the “savior” of the Jewish people.MAGA does not get to be this absolutely wrong, and then still claim to be the party of peace and America. You cannot start a war, deny that it is a war, then claim you ended a war you started with a fake ceasefire and fake peace. Particularly because even if we could all agree on why Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, the reasoning for the attack was based on a computer algorithm, not actual intelligence. And regardless of this logical assessment, the US bombing of Iran didn't work, or were possibly staged! From Gaza to Ukraine to Iran, https://militarycognizance.com/the-ai-that-triggered-a-war-how-palantir-and-the-iaea-fueled-israels-strike-on-iran/ from Palantir, has been reportedly at the center of it all. And now, if Iran did not have a weapon before, they certainly could have one now, with https://www.newsweek.com/russia-says-countries-now-ready-supply-iran-nuclear-weapons-2088979. It's probably no coincidence then that the https://fortune.com/2024/08/17/palantir-alex-karp-us-3-front-war-russia-china-iran-autonomous-weapons-drones-military-draft/ there would be a 3-front war against Russia, China, and Iran, or that https://finance.yahoo.com/news/palantir-pltr-lands-1-3b-213719986.html for war on top of their half a billion last year https://archive.md/SP4ll#selection-1579.51-1579.56 that assists in identifying military points of interest. It's probably no coincidence that the https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2024/07/16/jd-vance-and-peter-thiel-what-to-know-about-the-relationship-between-trumps-vp-pick-and-the-billionaire/, Peter Thiel, or that the company's https://www.npr.org/2025/05/01/nx-s1-5372776/palantir-tech-contracts-trump, or that Trump just appointed technocratic computer geeks as Lt Cols. In the military - from https://www.army.mil/article-amp/286317/army_launches_detachment_201_executive_innovation_corps_to_drive_tech_transformation. This is also while an actual Pentagon Colonel, Nathan McCormack, the https://www.thejc.com/news/usa/us-israel-planner-sacked-death-cult-cz8o38kk, was just fired for calling Israel a “death cut.” It's probably no coincidence that virtual all of this is run by Israel zealots, Jewish supremacists, and Christian zionists, from Palantir to OpenAI (Sam Altman), Oracle (Larry Ellison), Nvidia (Chris Malachowsky), and https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/black-cube-inside-shadowy-israeli-firm-accused-trying-undermine-iran-n877511.Something feels off about the whole thing, more than what is obvious. It almost feels like more than a production, maybe something akin to a simulation with real world consequence. It feels like an invisible war, with Iran acting as nothing but a location for the simulation. It all just feels like a movie, be it WarGames, Wag the Dog, or the television show Fallout where a group of business managers plan the end of the world and to guarantee their investments in vaults - like the https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/underground-city-secret-bunker-bush-official-b2745199.html actually has - by deciding to drop the bomb themselves when peace talks between waring countries become more solid. When JD Vance said this could be an “https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/06/23/vp_vance_the_12_day_war_was_an_important_reset_moment_for_the_entire_region.html,” not only is that game talk, but it's also WEF pandemic talk. So was Trump's statement about a https://www.npr.org/2025/06/20/nx-s1-5440143/trump-two-weeks-deadline-pattern for a decision on Iran. Some people are even attempting to contact their relatives in Iran and hearing robotic voices that the AP reported on stating, “Five experts with whom the AP shared recordings said it could be low-tech artificial intelligence, a chatbot or a pre-recorded message to which calls from abroad were diverted.” Almost as if contact has been cut off from Iran or that maybe there was never contact to begin with, like an invisible war is being waged like the one we waged on an invisible virus. Even Thomas Massie said the bombings of Iran were the 2025 version of “https://x.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1936899611362243064.”Everything that is happening, from electric cars and cryptocurrency, to mass surveillance, to the great reset of Trump' golden age, is all part of the same NWO conspiracy system. And furthermore, whatever MAGA stood for has been traded for false goods, a demonic bargain that results in the loss of one's soul for illusion. And if the plan is not followed by the POTUS, Vance, the Palantir puppet, will be installed. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
