Jeremiah and Aaron recap a somewhat encouraging yet frustrating 0-0 loss in playoff format penalties. They also go down the rabbit hole of what seem to be in the minds of all Sounders fans - that shootout and what could have been. Rounding it out the guys briefly discuss what else they saw from teams that Seattle could face if they move on.Sponsor

On this episode of STRAT, we examine Ukraine's FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missile — a potentially game-changing long-range weapon now entering serial production. Retired Marine intelligence officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer walks through reported production rates, propulsion sourcing, warhead capabilities, and the strategic implications for Russian infrastructure and morale. We unpack claims about range, cost, and manufacturing scale; evaluate targets that suddenly fall within reach (refineries, rail chokepoints, weapons factories, command nodes); and consider how lower-cost mass production could reshape procurement and battlefield calculus. Discussion covers export and supply-chain angles, the possible US interest in the design or cost efficiencies, and political risks for Moscow if strikes reach population centers. Listeners will gain a clearer sense of how Flamingo changes deep-strike dynamics, what vulnerabilities Russia might face, and why industrialized, affordable cruise missiles matter to future warfare and deterrence. We end with policy options and scenarios.Takeaways:· Flamingo (FP-5) reportedly offers ~3,000 km range — deep-strike game changer.· Production is scaling quickly; Ukraine moving toward mass production capacity.· Unit cost reportedly far lower than US Tomahawk, enabling volume use.· Engines and components sourced creatively — raises proliferation and supply-chain questions.· Warhead options include bunker buster and cluster bomb units — wide target set.· 80–90% of Russian industrial targets could be within Flamingo range.· Strategic effects: strikes on refineries, rail, and weapons factories carry political risk for Moscow.· Wider implication: affordable cruise missiles could alter future procurement, deterrence, and escalation dynamics.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #FlamingoMissile #FP5Flamingo #UkrainianCruiseMissile #LongRangeStrike #DeepStrikeCapability #FirePoint #MissileProduction #LowCostCruise #CruiseMissileProliferation #RussianVulnerabilities #EnergyTargets #RailChokepoints #WarheadPenetration #PropulsionSourcing #MassedPrecisionFires #GeopoliticalConsequences

Ob Israel beim kommenden Eurovision Song Contest teilnimmt, ist nach wie vor nicht klar. Diverse Länder hatten angekündigt, sich im Falle einer israelischen Teilnahme 2026 vom ESC zurückzuziehen. Nun hätte eine kurzfristig von der EBU anberaumte Online-Abstimmung unter allen Mitgliedssendern im November eigentlich für Klarheit sorgen sollen - allerdings wurde auch diese Abstimmung wieder abgesagt. Stattdessen wird nun doch bei einer EBU-Generalversammlung Anfang Dezember in Genf über Israels ESC-Zukunft entschieden. Über das Für und Wider so einer Abstimmung und den Umgang mit israelischen und jüdischen Künstlern in der Kulturszene diskutieren die Podcast-Hosts Marcel Stober und Thomas Mohr mit NDR Kulturredakteur Daniel Kaiser, Moderator des Literaturpodcasts "eat.REAT.sleep.". Im Oktober ist Liedtexter Bernd Meinunger gestorben. Meinunger prägte mit seinen Texten nicht nur nahezu den kompletten deutschen Schlager sondern auch den ESC. Insgesamt 19 Texte von ihm wurden beim ESC aufgeführt - zwischen 1979 und 2015. Von ihm stammen auch die Worte zu Deutschlands erstem Siegertitel "Ein bisschen Frieden". Oft arbeitete er mit Ralph Siegel zusammen, doch anders als der Komponist suchte Texter Meinunger nie die Öffentlichkeit und ist vielen wahrscheinlich bis jetzt unbekannt. Wir blicken zurück auf sein Schaffen und seine Bedeutung für die Musikszene. Außerdem suchen wir gemeinsam mit ESC kompakt und euch die schönsten ESC-Balladen dieses Jahrtausends. Ihr könnt eure Favoriten wählen - und in einer großen Ranking-Show am 20. Dezember küren wir die beste ESC-Ballade seit dem Jahr 2000. Wie die Wahl funktioniert, erklären wir euch in dieser Folge.

Die Erde steht nicht still, sie kreist um die Sonne! Nikolaus Kopernikus löst alte Probleme der Astronomie durch eine neue Sicht auf die Bewegungen der Himmelskörper. Doch nicht alle Ungereimtheiten sind nun überwunden. Warum zum Beispiel fällt ein Stein senkrecht nach unten, wenn er fällt? Wenn die Erde sich dreht, müsste er dann nicht seitlich fallen? Die "Kopernikanische Revolution" war erst der Beginn der großen Wende im Verständnis der Welt und ihres Orts im Universum.

China is prioritizing innovative trade and improving the business environment among efforts at further opening up under the 15th Five-Year Plan (01:21). China's Shenzhou-21 spacecraft is at the launch area awaiting liftoff (31:40). And the European Union has failed to agree on a plan to use frozen Russian assets to finance new loans for Ukraine (24:39).

Empires can lose in stages—and the moments in between can matter most. We dive into the chain that turned Xerxes' massive gamble into Greek momentum: the trap at Salamis, the phalanx at Plataea, and the “forgotten victory” at Mycale that shifted the war from survival to liberation. Step by step, a divided world of city-states learned to think as one, using geography, coalition discipline, and psychological pressure to unmake Persian dominance of the Aegean.We start with the strategic stakes of 480–479 BCE, when Athens and Sparta put rivalry on hold to exploit narrow seas and favourable ground. Salamis shows how triremes, tight channels, and local knowledge shattered a larger fleet and denied Persia the supply lines that kept its army viable. Plataea follows with a land reckoning: Pausanias' coalition absorbed missile fire, closed ranks, and broke Mardonius' force, clearing central Greece and puncturing the myth of Persian inevitability.Then comes Mycale on the Ionian coast, where the meaning of victory changes. Persian ships beached, Ionian units peeled away, and Greek hoplites stormed fortified positions—liberating cities that had long lived under satrapal rule. Near-simultaneous success at Plataea and Mycale delivered a morale shock the Persians couldn't absorb and gave the Greeks ports, partners, and purpose. The result: a transition from defence to projection, the seeds of the Delian League, and a lasting story about unity, freedom, and the power of coordinated land–sea strategy.Support the show

In a historic meeting between Donald Trump and Anthony Albanese, the AUKUS agreement remained unchanged as the two leaders unveiled a multi-billion-dollar critical minerals deal to secure supply chains and reduce reliance on China. The agreement involves major US investment in Australian mining and processing projects, but has sparked criticism over fears it could give the US too much control over Australia's resources and sovereignty.

This week's edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast features the semi-annual ATBS owner-operator income benchmarking session delivered in late September by ATBS Vice President Mike Hosted. The audio contains the full presentation, but know that there's a video version accessible via the Youtube version at this link: https://youtu.be/CYxCHAb1RnY To follow along with the audio here, download a bevy of detailed slides charting cost, revenue and income trends among ATBS's tens of thousands of owner-operator clientele at this link: https://overdriveonline.com/15769723 There's plenty in the way of trends analysis showing where we've been up to the present moment in the wider freight economy in Hosted's talk. Since the COVD run-up in freight and rates, though, we suspect most owner-operators know where that's gone. Hosted put it pretty plainly, looking at contract freight volumes and rates at a certain point in the presentation that you'll hear. "Now we've been contractingi in frieght volume for the last two and a half years," he said. It's been about the longest contraction (though not always happening quickly these last years) that he and many others have ever seen. There's hope in some ways for a turnaround, given what he called a measure of stability freight-volume-wise seen in some of the numbers lately. Likewise, hopes for a hit to trucking capacity via the Trump administration's foreign-domiciled drver credentialing rule changes -- or another factor. Not that Hosted plays much of the old prognosticating game this time around. "I keep hearing middle of next year, second half of next year," he said, but "i've been hearing that for three years now. I'm tired of saying that. I don't know when things are going to get better," fundamentally. Control what you can control, he added, to rein in costs and keep an eye on generating revenue above and beyond them. Hosted has made an effort in recent times to emphasize what's know as contribution margin, a measure of total revenues incoming minus variable costs incurred. That'd be your fuel costs, tires, maintenance generally, anything you spend to keep the equipment moving down the road to generate that revenue. The contribution margin figure can be used monthly or weekly to help determine just when you've met your fixed costs for the same period. Fixed costs are incurred at time intervals and are what they're called in the very name – fixed, predictable. Know your contribution margin as closely as possible and you can, on an ongoing basis, know when you've met your fixed costs for a given month, for instance, and all the contribution margin earned thereafter during that period is pure profit. "The important thing is when you hit that fixed cost, your profit per mile is through the roof," he said. Owner-operators think about costs, revenues and profit in so many ways, but Hosted wagers this approach could help in choosing freight, and motivating an owner-op to strike when the iron is hot, as it were, not in the freight market broadly but in the run of your own day-to-day business.

Jeder Unfall betrifft im Schnitt 113 Menschen hat eine Studie aus dem Jahr 2017 herausgefunden. Die ARD nimmt diese Idee als Grundlage für ihre Miniserie "Hundertdreizehn" (27:43), die die erschreckenden Folgen eines Busunfalls ergründen will. So zumindest lautet die offizielle Beschreibung, aber stimmt das auch? Holger, Michael und Rüdiger haben da ihre Zweifel, was sich bei ihnen aber recht unterschiedlich auf die Einschätzung der Qualität des Sechsteilers auswirkt. Zuvor sprechen sie über die Apple-Serie "Remnick" (3:52) aka "The Last Frontier" in der Jason Clarke in Alaska flüchtige Verbrecher eines abgestürzten Gefangenentransports aufspüren muss. "Con Air" lässt grüßen, doch statt Steve Buscemi sind hier Dominic Cooper, Johnny Knoxville und Clifton Collins Jr. auf der Flucht und statt Trisha Yearwoods "How Do I Live" ertönt "Wind of Change" von den Scorpions. Nicht der einzige Fehltritt. Danach geht es mit zwei Netflix-Serien weiter. Das französische Historienabenteuer "Néro" (46:47) gehört definitiv zu den blutigsten Serien des Jahres, aber auch zu den besten? Und schließlich gehen Keri Russells und Rufus Sewells "Diplomatische Beziehungen" (1:04:05) in die dritte Runde. Wer glaubt, dass die Streitereien der beiden Polit-Alphatiere nicht zu übertreffen sind, hat Holger und Rüdiger noch nicht über die Serie, die Qualitäten von Rufus Sewell und das Für und Wider von Kate und Hal Wyler als Ross und Rachel der Diplomatie streiten gehört. Cold-Open-Frage: "Zu welchem Streamingdienst würde unser Podcast am besten passen?"

In this Special Episode of Hold Your Fire!, two years of war in Gaza after Hamas's 7 October attacks, Richard is joined by Crisis Group's former president and former U.S. Special Envoy to Iran and official in several previous U.S. administrations, Rob Malley. They discuss Trump's peace plan for Gaza, Hamas' reaction to the proposal and where things might be headed next. They discuss Rob's new book, co-authored with Hussein Agha, “Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel-Palestine”, which traces the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and the two-state solution, potential missed opportunities, and whether Washington or others could ever have clinched a peace agreement. They discuss the unravelling of Iran's “axis of resistance” and what, if anything, could deter Israel from continuing to pursue its objectives by force. Finally, Richard reflects with Rob on what it means to be both an insider and an outsider in policymaking.Click here to listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Er ist so oft aus der Bundesliga abgestiegen wie kein anderer: Jürgen Rynio wird wegen dieses kuriosen Schicksals sogar in Quizsendungen eingeladen - und nicht erraten wie in diesem Sommer bei Kai Pflaumes "Kaum zu glauben". Aber Rynio, der aus Gelsenkirchen kommt und in Isernhagen lebt, nimmt es mit Humor. Und seine Torwartkarriere, die ihn von (Eintracht) Gelsenkirchen über Karlsruhe, Nürnberg, Dortmund, Essen, und St. Pauli 1979 nach Hannover führte, bietet eben auch viele Geschichten, die der 77-Jährige auch gern erzählt. Horst Hrubesch, Manni Burgsmüller, Peter Anders, Georg Damjanoff, Dieter Schatzschneider, Werner Biskup, Dettmar Cramer kreuzten seinen Weg. Einer jagte ihn auch den Berg hoch - und das gleich zweimal. Und Rynio hat gegen einen Weltstar gespielt und von ihm gelernt: "Das kann man nicht beschreiben. Da ist ein Tempo drin, das ist nicht vorstellbar." Welcher das ist? Podwart hören! Aber natürlich geht es im Podwart-Talk auch um das moderne Torwartspiel, um Nahuel Noll und Manuel Neuer. Vorteil der Keeper früher? Mehr Freiheit: "Ich konnte auch mal einen in den Rücken rammen. Da hat keiner was gesagt, ist halt der Torwart." Falls Noll nach einem Jahr Leihe bei 96 zurück nach Hoffenheim gehen würde, wäre das in Rynios Augen kein Problem, es gebe genug gute Torhüter in Deutschland. "Da würde ich mir keine Sorgen machen." Auch zum Thema VAR im Profifußball hat Rynio eine überraschend klare Meinung. Welche? Podwart hören! Und dann natürlich die Frage aller Fragen an den Mann, der nicht nur Spieler, sondern auch Manager und Interimstrainer der "Roten" war: Steigt 96 in dieser Saison endlich wieder auf? Die Antwort? Podwart hören!

In Denmark, authorities are investigating a series of drone sightings near major airports and airbases in the country this week. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated that the country was in the midst of a “hybrid war." Also, Iran will end its participation in international weapons inspections if United Nations sanctions are reimposed, says Ali Larijani, the country's secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. And, Moldova heads to the polls this weekend in what its President Maia Sandu calls the most consequential election in the country's history.

Grab Your TicketsThe Day After – Sept 23rdThis episode balanced culture, politics, and community innovation.The panel welcomed Ashley Ainsley MBE, co-founder of Color in Tech and the visionary behind Black Tech Fest. He spoke about starting Color in Tech in 2018 after noticing the lack of Black representation in the industry, and how by 2020 the team launched BTF - now one of Europe's biggest tech festivals, attracting over 7,000 people.Ashley explained how BTF differs from traditional corporate conferences: it's held in disruptive, authentic spaces (like Tottenham's old IKEA), blending job fairs, networking, DJ sets, food vendors, and afterparties. The aim is to make tech accessible, inclusive, and culturally relevant.The conversation highlighted:Corporate partners like Apple, Google, Goldman Sachs, Netflix, and more supporting the movement.Success stories, from attendees landing jobs at JustEat, Apple, and Goldman Sachs, to young people discovering careers in cybersecurity and software engineering.Challenges with funding and infrastructure - from paying borough fees to managing last-minute ticket surges - but also the determination to keep events accessible, with free student passes and affordable tickets.Wider reflections on UK tech, government policy, and why so many top firms move to the US instead of scaling at home.Ashley stressed that Black Tech Fest is about changing narratives: showing that Black people can lead in tech, business, and creativity, while building a global platform that centres community and opportunity.

In the last lesson, we explored how your own team needs to embrace a new role if you want to escape being treated as the “UX service desk.” But even if your team makes that shift, it's not enough.The truth is, you'll never have the time or resources to handle every touchpoint yourself. If you want user experience to really scale, you need to equip others across the organization to share the load.That doesn't mean they all become professional UX designers. It does mean they start taking more ownership of UX decisions in their projects.Let's recap why this shift is necessary before exploring what usually trips people up, and how to make those first moves without overwhelming anyone.Why Democratize UX?It's worth repeating myself, because this is so important: trying to do all the UX yourself is unsustainable.There are three strong reasons to start sharing responsibility:Resource limits. Even the best-staffed UX teams can't cover every product, campaign, or digital touchpoint. Democratization is the only way to scale.Organizational understanding. If you're the only one making user-centered decisions, the wider company never develops a shared appreciation of UX. It stays siloed.Bigger priorities. There are always strategic tasks (building a design system, auditing user journeys, or shaping long-term vision) that you never get to because you're tied up executing.Framing democratization this way helps people understand it's not about “pushing work off your plate.” It's about removing bottlenecks, growing organizational maturity, and freeing you to work on what matters most.How We Get in Our Own WayThe hardest part isn't colleagues resisting. It's us.UX practitioners often sabotage democratization without realizing it. Two impulses in particular are dangerous:Criticizing too quickly. When someone outside the team tries to run a survey or sketch a wireframe, it won't be perfect. But if your first instinct is to point out everything they got wrong, you kill their enthusiasm. A better approach is to acknowledge the effort and celebrate progress. Say something like, “This is a great first step. If you'd like feedback for next time, I'd be happy to help.” That way, they feel supported rather than embarrassed.Overcomplicating everything. We've spent years learning best practices and it's tempting to throw the whole textbook at people. But colleagues don't need a degree in cognitive psychology to clean up a page layout. They need a single, simple heuristic to get them started.A Simple ExampleWhen I help colleagues design a page, I don't lecture them about cognitive load, working memory, or progressive disclosure. Instead, I give them three simple questions to ask of every element:Can I remove this?If not, can I hide it?If not, can I shrink it?That's it. Just those three steps.Do they capture the full depth of interface design? Of course not. But they create cleaner, clearer pages almost immediately. And crucially, they give people confidence. Once they're comfortable with the basics, you can gradually introduce more advanced principles.The lesson here is to resist the urge to teach everything at once. UX is a huge field. Break it down into simple, usable steps that colleagues can actually apply.Start Small and Be StrategicAnother trap is trying to democratize UX across the whole organization in one go. That never works. You'll meet too much skepticism and spread yourself too thin.Instead, handpick your first allies. Look for:People who already value UX. They're the low-hanging fruit. Work with them and they'll amplify your message.People who keep asking for your help. They're motivated and will gladly take on more if you support them.People who feel the pain of poor UX. Marketing and customer support teams often fit here. They see first-hand the cost of bad experiences and are desperate for change.Invest heavily in these groups. Coach them. Provide resources. Sit with them through their first few attempts. Make your support visible.What happens next is important. Others will see the attention these teams are getting and want it too. When someone asks, “Why are you spending so much time with them?” you can respond, “I'd be glad to help you in the same way.” That's how momentum builds naturally.Setting ExpectationsI'm not suggesting you walk into the next all-hands meeting and declare, “From now on, everyone is a UX practitioner.” That's a fast way to scare people off.Instead, quietly build up examples of collaboration that work. Share success stories. Point to teams who ran a quick test or applied a simple design heuristic and saw results.Gradually, the narrative shifts. UX stops being “that team over there” and becomes “something we all do, with expert guidance.”You'll still face objections along the way; about time, skills, or risk. That's normal. In the next lesson, we'll explore the most common pushbacks you'll hear and how to respond without losing momentum.

For 14 September 2025, The Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, based on John 3:13-17

It's week two of Wider Lens. This week, Jonathon shares his story of recognizing his addiction, confronting the root causes beneath it, and finding freedom through Christ. From misordered priorities to the hidden struggles many Christians face, this conversation explores recovery, sanctification, and the hope that healing is possible. We are praying that this episode encourages you to reflect, reprioritize and hold tightly to the hope of Jesus!   Episode Highlights: Understanding addiction as a spectrum allows for earlier intervention and support. Acknowledging one's addiction is the first step towards healing and transformation. True recovery requires deep honesty and accountability beyond surface-level admissions. Embracing those with messy sanctification stories fosters healing and growth.  Identifying and correcting disordered priorities is crucial for recovery. Quotes from Today's Episode: Part of what kept me in a disordered relationship with alcohol is what the devil uses “I don't look or act like what I think an alcoholic looks like.” - J. Seidl Radical vulnerability, when you start practicing it, it's contagious and the devil hates it. -J. Seidl Anything that is misordered is disordered.-J. Seidl The mommy wine juice culture, mommy needs this to be mommy, right? It's become accepted.-J. Seidl I finally was able to stop drinking when I stopped trying to stop drinking. When I shot for Jesus, I got sobriety thrown in.-J. Seidl If you don't get to the root of those, it's just going to be something else. -J. Seidl Jesus is always going to meet us there. He's not going to let us down.- Dr. Kim I was ultimately addicted to escapism. -J. Seidl The muscle memory was forged and formed at a very young age. -J. Seidl A Wider Lens: Questions for Self Reflection What habits or priorities in my life might be “good things” that I've elevated above God, and how are they shaping my heart? Where might I be numbing pain or avoiding deeper heart work instead of bringing it honestly before the Lord? What step of accountability, surrender, or fellowship could I take this week to move closer to freedom and wholeness in Christ?

The impending 25 per cent tariffs on India over its purchase of Russian oil appears bold. While the US said its primary motivation was to hit Putin where it hurts, it understandably prompted a strong reaction from the government in New Delhi. So why is the US government willing to target India, what does China have to do with it, and what does it say about Trump's overall strategy? GPF Chairman George Friedman joins Talking Geopolitics host Christian Smith to discuss all this, and whether it will actually work.   Visit http://www.geopoliticalfutures.com for world-class geopolitical analysis and discussion.

You believe in miracles. In signs. In the wild intelligence of the universe.And yet... you still sometimes talk yourself out of what you truly want.In this episode, we're shining a light on the subtle ways you may be arguing for your own smallness and what it really takes to choose expansion even when it feels uncomfortable.You'll walk away with new perspective, fierce clarity, and a soul-deep remembering of how powerful you truly are.We'll dive into:

What can be gained from looking back now at the pandemic response during COVID? What would a “postmortem” tell us about how policies were designed and how scientific discussions played out? Stephen Macedo is a professor of politics at Princeton University, as well as at the University Center for Human Values, and the author of several books including Greg and Stephen discuss the decision-making flaws during the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of robust debate, the role of public health experts, and the increasing influence of partisanship. Stephen explores the potential long-term implications for democracy and science, the concept of noble lies, and the necessity of balancing expert advice with broader public interests. Their conversation also touches on the importance of liberal virtues and the need for both improved decision-making structures and individual adherence to professional ethics.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:When public health crowds out public values09:52: The public health mindset is that you only pay attention to reducing disease, and so public health experts had too much power. Wider decision-making should have been made by people looking at the whole range of public values, not just disease reduction or attempts to reduce disease. So, the many things that came together—but we regard the book as a window onto the state of our democracy, and in a way, our—you know—the dangers of our epistemic tribalism, to put it that way. The degraded state of deliberation in our country.How epistemic bubbles are making us dumber50:57: We are making ourselves stupider by being ensconced in these epistemic bubbles. We are undermining our own capacity for critical thought by not being more open to disagreement.Science can't decide for a democracy alone55:58: We need both more checking of a wide array of elites being involved in thinking, challenging, questioning decisions, but also some way of making sure—possibly through legislative oversight, House of Representatives being involved. The public voices need to be heard as well because they bear the cost of these—need to be heard as well because they bear the cost of these measures. And as we said before, science is not going to make these decisions for us. There are value judgments involved, and it is the people's value judgments that matter to some degree of risk tolerance…[56:35] We need more checking and balancing in these kinds of decisions that affect the public as a whole, and more open debate, discussion, more tolerance of disagreement—including, or maybe even especially, coming from the partisan other, as it were.Science needs scrutiny, not censorship14:17: We need empirical inquiry to test the assumptions behind these particular policies and assumptions—not censorship in advance of evidence that might be unwelcome with respect to, you know, certain kinds of policy claims. So, I think there's a wider politicization of science. I do think we need more viewpoint diversity in the academy, and people say, "Wasn't this the code word for having more conservatives?" And I'll say, yes. I think we're a bit too far out of balance. We should not reflect the American public—I mean, that's not the aim—but I think we do not take seriously enough, reasonable concerns coming from the other side of the political spectrum. So, it's a long-winded answer to your question, but I think the COVID experience is emblematic and indicative of a wider problem and deeper problem.Show Links:Recommended Resources:David HalberstamGraham AllisonNeil FergusonDavid ZweigFrancis CollinsAnthony FauciSandro GaleaStephen HaberJohn IoannidisScott AtlasDeborah BirxAlasdair MacIntyreCharles TaylorThe Federalist PapersJohn LockeAdam SmithConsequentialismBen BernankeThe Great Exception: The New Deal and the Limits of American Politics (Politics and Society in Modern America) by Jefferson CowieInsecure Majorities: Congress and the Perpetual Campaign by Frances E.

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes were joined by MLB Network insider Jon Morosi to discuss the Cubs' mindset as the trade deadline looms Thursday.

Trevor Loudon Reports – President Trump's recent ultimatum to Putin - 50 days to negotiate or face secondary sanctions - was scrutinized. Nyquist expressed skepticism, noting that Trump's repeated extensions of deadlines signal weakness. The 50-day window, coinciding with Russia's Zapad 2025 military exercises in Belarus, raises concerns about whether Putin will exploit this period to prepare for...

The U.S. joined Israel's war on Iran and over the weekend bombed three of the country's nuclear sites, including Fordo, located deep inside a mountain. In the aftermath of the bombing, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump on the attack. Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi tweeted that the U.S.'s attack would have "everlasting consequences." The move by the Trump administration is a massive escalation, and brings the U.S. into direct conflict with Iran. How will Iran respond and what are the wider repercussions? NPR's Andrew Limbong speaks with journalist Robin Wright, author of "The Last Great Revolution: Turmoil and Transformation in Iran."
