The Gist - Not Even Mad: Charles Lehman & Brad Carson
The Epstein files and the Michael Wolff ethics mess. Then Brad Carson (Americans for Responsible Innovation) and Charles Lehman (Manhattan Institute / City Journal) dig into the shutdown endgame, Schumer's calculus, 2026 vibes, and why data centers might be a sleeper issue. They argue affordability vs. "afford to dream," culture vs. policy, and whether legalization waves for pot, NIL, and sports betting were built to fail. Plus: AI guardrails, why adding friction to vices works, and Goat Grinders on EST vs. EDT, reclining your plane seat, and off-leash dogs. Bonus Q&A about Brad's Senate race in the Not Even Mad feed.

Newshour - France remembers the Paris attacks ten years on
The attacks were described by France's then President, Francois Hollande, as an "act of war" organised by the Islamic State (IS) militant group, and they left 130 people dead and hundreds wounded. We'll speak to a survivor and ask how they've changed France. Also on the programme: a new documentary analyses Hitler's DNA for the very first time - we speak to the expert who studied his genetic make up; and Sri Lanka's cricket team continue their tour of Pakistan despite security concerns.

1A - The State Of The Civil War In Sudan
From the outside looking in, the story of the war is one of two competing generals, foreign involvement complicating matters, and mass casualties among the innocent.
Now, following a massacre in the city of El Fasher, the rebels have agreed to a humanitarian ceasefire proposed by the Quad — a group of group of four countries including the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. But for how long will it hold?
We discuss the latest on the conflict in Sudan and the humanitarian crisis. What is the international community doing to help (or hurt) the situation?
