White House: Russia looks to purchase more attack drones from Iran after depleting stockpile
"The White House says Russia is looking to get more advanced firepower from Iran for use in Ukraine. The National Security Council's John Kirby says Tehran's provided Moscow with more than 401 way attack drones since August. Russia has expended most of these UAVs using them to target Ukrainian critical infrastructure. And now it wants more. Russia is interested in more advanced versions of those UAVs, more capable and more lethal. The revelation is part of what the administration bills as a growing military relationship between Iran and Russia, which it says also relies on North Korea for arms. Tehran says it provided drones to Moscow before the Ukraine invasion, but not since Sagar Meghani, Washington.

Rep. Chip Roy: Biden's Border Policy Is Killing Americans
"So this is obviously intentional The lack of a wall reversing all of the Trump era policies You know Biden says well what are the Republicans proposed Well right off the top why don't you put all the Biden policies back in place That's what I would propose So this is clearly intentional What are they up to here chip It is intentional And they did absolutely reverse for example the migrant protection protocols that were being successfully executed under the Trump administration right When you have responsible people in charge president of course himself Mark Morgan and Tom homan I know they're Friends of yours over Homeland Security And Biden reversed that And so they're doing that because they don't believe in sovereignty They don't believe in American exceptionalism They don't believe in the rule of law They believe in a quote liberal world order as the deputy press secretary of The White House said And so they're allowing people to just flow across the border But here's the problem Mark It kills Americans 72,000 dead Americans from fentanyl How about the 856 migrants themselves who have died along the South Texas border along the Rio Grande or the 53 migrants who were cooked in a tractor trailer in the Texas heat last summer How about the bodies of those that were just remote over by a truck just on the side of the road just two days ago How about the thousands of little girls sold into sex trafficking trade That's what's happening And these guys go around saying that they're the ones who are compassionate Are they the ones that have a heart And it's crap People are dying And they're doing it purposely crash political reasons Nothing more And the American people I think should be mortified that administration is allowing this to happen In Texas by the way is uniquely taking it on the chin in terms of cost and in terms of the danger One last point 8 dead children in the school district in the county in which I live from fentanyl poisoning since last August 8 children in a school district It's unconscionable

Ex-officer Thao convicted of aiding George Floyd’s killing
"The last of four officers facing state charges in the death of George Floyd has been convicted. Former Minneapolis police officer two tau, who held back bystanders as George Floyd was restrained and killed by fellow officers, has been convicted of aiding and abetting manslaughter. Tao already convicted in federal court of violating Floyd's civil rights, was the last of the four officers facing judgment in state court, Tao rejected a plea agreement last summer, saying he did nothing wrong and that it would be lying to plead guilty, prosecutor Matthew Frank wrote that Tao knew his fellow officers were restraining Floyd in a way that was extremely dangerous because it could stop his breathing. There was no jury, hadn't been county judge Peter Cahill, decided the case based on written filings and evidence presented in previous cases. In his ruling Cahill wrote, there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Taos actions were objectively unreasonable. Minnesota guidelines recommend four years on the manslaughter count, the judge set August 7th as the sentencing date. I'm Jennifer King

The second one will follow at the Reagan library and we're already having this debate over debates, because president Donald Trump said yesterday, he's not sure he'll participate in these early debates.

So again, in April of 2022, the case was dismissed. Again, the Philadelphia court PA district attorney felt every district attorney philosophy PD. They wanted to not press any charges. They weren't interested, as you said. It was a nothing case. It all gets dismissed. 5 days later, April 20 7th, I believe. I was served a target letter. This is after the trial was, everything was dismissed in the trial. I was served a target letter by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, eastern district in the Philadelphia area. Now, I was a target of a grand jury investigation with potential indictment with against the face act. Freedom of access to clinic entrances. Now that's what I found out. And my attorney at the time, Matt had fun from the Thomas more society reached out to the assistant U.S. attorney and said, you have no case, my client's innocent. There's case law on your own district, but should you want to indict my client? He's a peaceful man. We'll bring him in peacefully to you. And you don't need to bring an agent out to his house. This was in April of 2022. So with the raid to your question, it was totally out of the blue. Something I was not expecting. Describe the raid. Sure.

Trump will answer questions in NY fraud lawsuit, lawyer says
"Donald Trump's lawyer says the ex-president will answer questions today during a deposition in a legal fight over his company's business practices. It's Trump's second deposition with the New York attorney general's office in a fraud lawsuit. At the first one, in August, Trump invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 400 times, refusing to answer all but a few procedural questions. This time his lawyer says Trump's not only willing but eager to testify, adamant that he has nothing to conceal. Attorney general letitia James sued Trump last year, saying the ex-president and his family misled banks and business associates with false information about his net worth and asset values. The suit is not related to the felony charges Trump faces in Manhattan.

Biden Has Secretly Deployed American Special Forces in Ukraine
"There is a stream of sensitive U.S. intelligence about the Ukraine war that is finally leaking on the Internet. I say finally because we've been saying this for quite some time. In fact, in my debates about the topic, for example, with my friend and colleague Salem colleague, doctor Sebastian gorka, I said, but we have troops in Ukraine. Oh, no, no, no, no, we don't. Now, there's dozens and dozens of documents and our team has started to pour over them and to go into them. There's one piece of information that we want to lead with today. One of the most important leaks is a document dated on March 23rd that confirms United States and NATO special forces are operating inside of Ukraine. 14 American special forces 50 from UK 15 from France 17 from Latvia and one from the Netherlands. That's just about a hundred troops overall. The Pentagon says, oh, I'm in this no big deal. These are just logistics what they say. These are just operators. That helped make sure the boxes of bullets and ammunition and weapons that were sending are going to the right places. He says, quote, there's a small U.S. Military presence at the embassy in conjunction with the defense attaches office. To help us work on accountability of the material that is going in and out of Ukraine. They're doing a poor job of that because when we've asked for accountability and an audit of the military equipment, we don't really get that. They say it's just bureaucrats doing some accounting. Well, bureaucrats don't typically do any accountability. That's a separate issue. This is a patent, this is a, this is a flagrant lie. You do not need United States special forces for this. They're trying to downplay what is obviously a smoking gun and clearly a huge deal. The Biden regime has repeatedly said there are no U.S. troops in Ukraine. And the press, of course, played along last August when we said this on our program, we said there's probably U.S. troops in Ukraine. In fact, we know that there are through military service member families that have told us, you know that my loved one is in Ukraine. PolitiFact came after us and others saying that it was false and that we were spreading disinformation.

"But I also advise against creating a story that what happened to them was terrible because we don't know. And so rest and not knowing, I think that's probably going to be my answer to most of these. But let's go on. Oh, and jealousy creeps in. That's interesting. There's a wonderful book by Neil Donald Walsh called conversations with God and he talks a lot about the difference between envy and jealousy, envy is when your little kid and you see your big sister reach up and open the door because she's taller and you're envious of that and you aspire to be like that. You don't hate her for it. There's no negative feelings. You just envious. And if we don't learn how to deal with that appropriately at a young age, that envy turns to jealousy, which is not healthy in the same way anger is very healthy. It's a little indicator that says, hey, something's not aligned here. But if we don't learn how to deal with anger appropriately at a young age, that anger turns to rage, which is not healthy. It's blinding and it's very destructive. So that's a really good way to distinguish between the two. Courtney, how do I cultivate more patience and grace with my 5 kids? I don't know you can. Oh man, I'm joking, of course. Of course, it's possible. And I actually have a good friend with quite a few children. And if I understand correctly what she does is constantly remind herself, this is what she wanted. This is her dream come true. She loves being a mother. And yes, it's hard sometimes, but at the end of the day, you wouldn't trade it for the world, right? And so the key is to remind yourself of that in that moment. That's how you can kind of remind yourself, this is a choice. Like I chose this and it adds a lot harder than not even inclined to say it's a lot harder than you thought it was going to be because surely you thought having 5 kids was going to be tough. But it's hard and we need help and help can come in very different ways, even if it's someone saying, hey, I'll come over for 20 minutes so you can go meditate outside and just not worry about anything for 20 minutes, that could be the gift. Also, the gift that it's temporary, pretty soon they'll all be grown and you might, if I understand correctly from other people, you might find yourself affairs down the road missing them. So there are many tools and I advise talking to other parents about this. And I know it's hard because it's almost a taboo for mothers to admit that they're having a hard time. But it's necessary. I think it's really important for us to be vulnerable and be open about it, especially with other mothers. Despite the fact that some of them will judge you because they're refused to admit that they also have a hard time sometimes. But talk to other mothers. You're not alone at this and there are solutions. In fact, the friend I mentioned has another friend with multiple children and they help each other. So there are times when the one with 5 and the one with three takes care of all 8. So the other one can take care of herself. And then they switch places. So it's balance. I think that's a common answer. You'll receive

"R&B editor Shelton pierce, welcome to the show. Hello, hello. Thanks so much for having me. We are discussing the best albums released in August lead out is the 21st album by the mountain goats 21. It was produced by Alicia banano, best known as the singer, producer and guitarist, behind bully. John darnielle is no stranger to big concepts or literary through lines as music, but Stephen, something feels really invigorating about this record. Oh, I think invigorating is a great way to put it. You know, I have been a mountain goats fan for a really, really long time. John darnielle is one of my favorite living songwriters. He's very, very prolific. And in his early days, his songs had this nervy quality to them, you know, he would record them on a boom box and he would just like play an acoustic guitar. His songs often had this really anthemic quality and over time, the mountain goats formed into kind of a full band and got really polished. And a lot of his albums, you know, started to take on more conceptual quality he would do an album about D&D or an album about Goths or an album. You know, just kind of these different high concept albums, but the songs had this really stately quality that to me squashed their power a little bit. I think the addition of Alicia banano as the producer. I first of all I love Bowie. Check out bullies records if you haven't heard them. She allows this band to be anthemic again. The concept behind this record, it's called bleed out, the concept is that each of these songs is inspired by an action movie, and each song kind of plays out like an action movie. And thematically, there's a lot of songs about bleeding and fighting and training and dying, and the songs just have the muscle underneath them to match that. And so there are several fully scream along songs on this record that you really can just pump your fist and shout to in a way that I have really missed from this band.

"The July August issue of Monaco, we looked amongst other things at the future of food production. One port of call was New Jersey, where oye shy of vast urban farming project is dividing opinions with its $47 punnets of strawberries. Is this a step towards cities feeding themselves or just an expensive gimmick? Monica's Tom Edwards spoke to journalist Tom Vanderbilt, who visited the farm, Tom began by asking, what he expected to find in New Jersey. You know, I had been a hearing about this famous strawberry for several years, and I had not actually sampled it. This was a strawberry that was selling for $50 for a pack of 8 and had to be acquired. Outside of a subway station, the Lower Manhattan after you called in a reservation. So I was very, I was very excited, but I had seen one or two small scale vertical farms in places like Singapore, but so I had an image in my mind, but the first thing I should say is it's what you see when you get there as doctor Lee glamorous from the outside, it's a former Anheuser Busch brewing distribution plant in a not particularly lovely part of Jersey City. So you would drive by and not notice anything about it. You go inside, though, and the whole atmosphere is transformed into this, first of all, it looks more like a Silicon Valley startup office than anything. There's whiteboards, there's break rooms, there's clean rooms, there's sort of high-tech machinery around. And then there's a part where they actually grow the strawberries, and I was not really allowed much access to this for a couple of reasons. Number one is that the growing process is meant to be as free from contaminants as possible. So civilians can not enter that room. The second reason is there's all sorts of proprietary technology and even proprietary plants that I'm not really supposed to have too much access to, not that I'd really be able to steal any agricultural secrets, I think, but so yeah, I mean, it's just a picture an absolute white quiet room, something like you'd imagine on the International Space Station with robotic devices sort of moving up and down the aisles. And bees sort of lazily flying around. And then thousands of strawberry plants and that's what you see when you go to oishi. And of course, then look, Tom, that prompts the big question, which is, what are those strawberries like? You mentioned it, you know, 50 bucks upon it. It's not cheap. But I don't know, presumably that you were at least allowed to tuck in finally. Are they worth every one of those, every one of those 50 bucks? Is it something, I don't know, transformational in terms of what you understand the strawberry can deliver to your palate? Not to get too high flute in here, but the philosopher John Locke back in the 1700s, the pineapple was a thing that was coming to the UK for very wealthy people. It was this new exotic import. And he actually wrote this whole essay, which is fascinating about how do I describe this pineapple to you until you actually eat it. You know, the problems of knowing something that we can't know. So I'm a little bit in that boat where, you know, we all know what a strawberry tastes like. We have sort of an image in our head. And I sort of have two images in my head. One is the average supermarket strawberry, which is usually pretty mediocre, the texture is kind of stiff. They're often white on the inside, which is not particularly appetizing. And they're picked in California. Green and sent via truck and they ripen in these sort of air conditioned trucks. So that's one image. The other images that perfect summer farmers market strawberry, which lasts, I think, a week. And if you're lucky to get there, you have that sort of perfect strawberry. It's lush. It's deep red. It's very sweet. It tastes very nice. So it was closer, definitely to that second thing, but it sort of went even above and beyond that. It just had this kind of, I don't have a lot of great words for texture, but this sort of suppleness to it that just almost felt like it was melting in my mouth kind of like a candy experience. And then it's very sweet. One of the most immediately notable things. But yeah, it was I have to say it was a transformative experience in my strawberry eating. I would feel happier about paying the $20 that it now seems to be priced at whole foods and other retailers. Because the company is beginning to scale a little bit more than the $50 per 8. A $7 strawberry puts a lot of pressure on that fruit. Did you see when you were there? Tom evidence that the tech that is being deployed there, even some of it being kind of kept a little bit behind closed doors. It can help to address some really huge problems, both in terms of agriculture. You mentioned there's bees flying around, you know, bees are threatened in parts of the U.S.. And also these broader questions around sustainability. You know, did you see evidence that they're thinking on that kind of scale? And I guess a sort of corollary point. Also that this is a smart fix, clever tech can be a big Philip for our cities. Cities that really need innovation and new ideas. Did you see lots of evidence that gave you that kind of confidence? You know, it is early days and I think if we look at oishi has sort of an R&D center, this is often the way, of course, innovation works with the products are very expensive in the beginning of catering to this specialized market, but then we do get this trickle down the technology becomes easier to crack the scalability improves and these things that were once considered exotic. The video cassette recorder in the 1980s, at first it was this luxury item that only a few people had, then, by the end of the decade, pretty much everyone had that. It's not going to solve the world's problems today, but it might be answering some questions. You're providing some pathways that really could benefit the world at large. That was Tom Vanderbilt there talking to Monica's Tom Edwards from New York City, and you can read Tom's report in the year July August issue of monocle still on newsstands for a little bit longer.

Biedermann let us now look at the united kingdom the continuing substance into self parody of much labored verbiage about sending him out to bat for britain bowling position etc. Uk international trade secretary lives trust. Why do these people always have names like mine. Martin nameless characters has announced that britain's new trade envoy to australia will be ian both them in terms that will make no sense too much of audience. And i suspect at least one of our panelists. Both of them was a distinguished. All round cricketer with a test batting average of thirty three point five four and three hundred ninety three wickets at just over twenty eight florid does the name both mean anything to you at all in the slightest and the friends. I don't look given you said you've been here six years any time. He's really been in. The news during this period is when he Vincent remember feet is. He claimed that he had been hacked off. An unfortunate image appeared on his twitter accounts. Let's just call it unfortunate image. It's always wait isn't when people say they were hacked. It's always kind of unfortunate one. Nothing else but at least while. He's not security envoy or anything like that in florence. Can you at least agree that whoever in both is as a trade envoy he has to pin improvement on prince andrew. Yes even being french. I can say that When you consider also that the the big trade agreement that was signed recently between australia and global britain is supposed to accelerate to have a bonus in gdp of zero comma Zero two percent. I think it proportionate to what this trade relations and the importance of the envoy. Vincent i i am going to throw this one out here As as australian do you think liz trust entirely understands the view. People take of english cricketers. It's not like ian. Both is regarded in australia as as a national hero. Think liz trust go blessed. She's just enthusiastic about everything No i don't think she quite as thought this through. Also i was. I was reading in illness. I didn't realize there's a history with now president iran khan of pakistan as well so You know he can't surprised she didn't send in pakistan's way and given the lack of thought how it would go because they apparently had a law a huge court battle So yeah i mean it. It just does seem strange to when you've got a bitter rivalry when you've got the to think. Oh i know about love a british a british crickets. Yeah well not so much. British crickets english cricketer is this is the real issue. I think florence. France go marching for this sort of thing. Do you make inexplicable celebrities government appointees and send them abroad to do the republic's work. I think it happens. Yes for diplomats like sometime have surprising nomination. maybe i shouldn't give names but I mean i think it's the case. Also in other countries in a special in diplomacy. And when you get the united states i mean many. Many people have been appointed ambassadors who were never diplomats in their life just because the support that or this brought in not only like the republican but also the democrats. Whatever so. I think it's something that happens. Everywhere and kind of her knees him we can see that in every government i think if i recall the position rightly straight. You did attempt to make tony abbott. The former prime minister some sort of trade envoy but britain did that. We've done that he is. He's on the board of our trae. I think we couldn't believe. I'll lock at that point. I think that his reaction is like if you won't it more. I literally spent years creeping around parliament with pawsey suddenly A couple of years ago he inexplicably got this past the house of commons and he would just wander around and he would just go to the conservative party conference for fun so he'd been lobbying for some kind of job for years. It was very strange characters. Such a fan boy of the uk. He he's an old fellow tonia but on on that much we can agree between our two bitterly royal if that's a word nations. But i i do want to ask vincent you you are. He's speaking for britain. That's role this table half our scottish breakaway nonetheless. If we agreed it's all that ian both is going to be the trade envoy to australia. And i suppose somebody has to do it etc. Is that actually any weed than the fact. He's a lord. I mean he used to play cricket i will. I will admit through gritted teeth. He was extremely good at it. But he's lord he gets a say in the laws of the ice fach so not to kind of slow too much into it but my thesis was on reform of the house of lords. And when you look through the cast of characters hundreds of them people in the hassles i mean. He is more qualified than a damn loud of them. There is still a section of the lord's that is hereditary. This is the goaling part. about britain. Preaching democracy around the world is that there is a hereditary element to the house of lords. There was a group of about ninety of them who were the rumford was left after the new labour government tried to get them out and instead of them just dying often their positions disappearing. In the lord's they then have an election of their descendants so the current laws therein the left than elect at the the descendants of the of the other hereditary lords can put themselves up for an election and the electorate is just the other laws. It is absolutely ridiculous. And i was looking in both in did as his maiden speech last year he. He's a massive supporter of brexit. And it was sort of reward for that from the prime minister. Although he is sitting cross bench he is that says to sort of champion. Sport especially community has been hit by the pandemic and he's done a lot of charity work particularly around around cancer and so he is going to champion those things and it just you know. I know people in the house. All to do. Bring vast expertise of science of medicine of top. Paris's there is some great expertise there but you know you do wonder about some of the people that have got in a and he is someone he think does he really have any idea. Recall about trade. And and what's involved i think. Did you plan for reforming. The house of lords involves pitchforks. Not quite not quite that far. I think i was looking at like senate model was my kind of a sixty percents. Senate and forty percent appointed by an independent panel. Not the government of the day. I'm not going to allow that. Frankly treasonous note to be the last word of florence. If this is to be your last daily. I think you should have the last word and especially on the basis of what vincent has just outlined there after six years here. Does this country make any sense to you whatsoever. No surprise florence vitamin and vincent macaroni. Thank you both very much and florence. Thank you for all your previous contributions to al shows.

But like i am a proponent of trans amethyst theory you know i know the gyms are all actually nonbinary women but i feel like the way. The amethyst lake interacts with her body in the way that she views body modification along with lake the way that even though it only comes up lake once or twice the fact that she has a masculine persona that uses he him pronouns when none of the other gyms do. It's like i think amethyst has a case of the genders too. I can definitely see that. Not only in those episodes where she is it. You're referring to the wrestling episodes right. Yes the purple puma. Yes the purple puma. I think there's also an episode or t- where she embodies greg for a little while. That sounds like it's either terrifying or hilarious or both. I i think for stephen.

It could be better if this movie didn't come out and What didn't know. Then which i've realized afterwards is that i always dreadful and especially for the writer who comes. It pretty cleaned the experience. You're you're watching the. Oh my god. This is an absolute disaster. And then you start doing the work and you start you. Write up the notes and short of trying to get seen by cnn shot-by-shot mumbai moment to get it back to where it intricate which is not the screenplay which was the plan for making the movie right but for like with the movie we actually shot. What is the best version of that. And so it's figuring out how you're going to take what's shot and then if there are going to be reshoots figuring out like what the re-shoots would be. That would make this all possible. And so i had to both of those things in did you reshoots on redirect crucial that that allowed us to bridge over some problems. You know. find new solutions for things so a lot of the ending. Reshot what was different about the ending. We just realize okay. The movies not working. So i wrote news stuff to do that. New connective bits. That's her get claire into connecting with gains again. Just sometimes simple logic. Things reached needed new shots but sometimes they really are new scenes. Yeah now you you've developed I want to get into talking about your relationship with tim burton. But before we get to that. Charlie's angels oh amazing.

I got really drunk last year and watched it for the first time came out live tweeted my experience of says it came out but the first movie was a great experience. It was that sense of you know just approaching it. Just sitting down on a couch withdrew and talking through what the movie felt like what we wanted to feel like and then only go out from emotional point of view and which was sort of to be really proud of these girls who are giant dorks. When they're off when they're not on the job at really professional on their on the job given that feeling right then i had to sort of reverse engineer a whole plot. That could actually support these characters. Who will and it was as experience really really really hard to make and there were fights everyday just because you have a bunch of really creative people who all have different visions for exactly how. It's going to work every day. I described it as fighting the monster. You weren't quite sure who was going to be monsters from as you were gonna be the monster but there's always a monster to fight and everyone had to gather together to fight the monster and that way kind of through the whole thing and there was also tremendous love and The town was really against us. Everyone assumed that the girls were fighting with each other which they weren't and Then we the trailer was awesome and then like we had a vision for like.
