We haven’t learned enough from mistakes we made during the Cold War, and now we’re repeating some of them. I discussed this and more at Stanford’s Reunion Homecoming. Watch the full talk here:

PDAC 2026 was a sign of the times. No more bear nuts and pretzels. Cocktail receptions had sushi and lobster instead. I asked Rick Rule + 15 others what some of the mistakes we keep repeating are, and some of the answers were not what I expected. Full thing on YT now.

“We learned. We learned from all of our mistakes. All of our adversity has made us stronger, made us tougher. We made all the sacrifices. We didn’t skip any steps and this was the result. We had to go through the journey, the heartbreak, the embarrassment, to get to the mountain top,” Jaylen Brown

I watched my best friend die in Iraq. I thought the politicians who sent us there learned something from that. But now we’re repeating the same mistakes, and it’s young, working-class Americans who will pay the price again.

If you’re not making many mistakes, you must not be learning much. Mistakes and failures are ultimately more valuable to you than successes because they provide the best learning. I detailed some of my biggest mistakes—and what I learned from them—as part of the new MasterClass Executive program. At this stage in my life, I believe the most important thing I can do is to pass along everything I’ve learned to others, hoping that they find value in it and can avoid making the same mistakes I’ve made. If you’re interested in the program, you can apply for one of the limited spots here:

Four years later, full circle. We made this video during the last bull market, and it’s a good reminder of how far we’ve come. Today, we’re at the top of the funnel—surrounded by some of the most incredible people and partnerships we’ve ever had. We’re tripling down.

‘We learnt from those mistakes, and we don’t want to repeat them.’ Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he wants to avoid war and doesn’t want to repeat the mistakes of the Iraq war, adding that the paradox of peace is that 'to avoid war is to prepare’.

Everyone is talking about the war with Iran—but the real question is what happens after victory. In this clip, I explain why history matters. From the Battle of Yorktown and the French alliance in the American Revolutionary War to the lessons of World War I and World War II, winning a war requires more than military success—it requires a strategy for what comes next. If we ignore that lesson with Iran, the Middle East, and U.S. national security, we risk repeating the mistakes that created chaos and global conflict before. Rumble: YouTube:

Weinstein: We are going to talk about this Hantavirus situation. I think you will get a view here that is different from what you hear elsewhere. We are going to do some integrating of evolutionary biology with some of the value we got from the graduate level education we were put through during COVID. So we've learned some of the propaganda tricks and some of the medical and public health tricks, and we're trying to divine what is going on with this strange story. So that is upcoming. Heying: I also want to talk about the drought in Washington state. Weinstein: Yes, and maybe a relationship between such things, which is— Heying: There is at least a thread to tie the two stories together, yes.

Dana Altman addressing the number of players who have hit the portal from his program: "It wasn't unexpected. There were three guys that we really wanted back. Sean, KJ, and Jackson. We did not pull anybody's scholarship... But we are working within a budget and some guys were going to lose their NIL totally... Most of them were taking a reduction... We just weren't good enough this year. I made some mistakes with evaluation."

🚨 FRANK TUREK — THE PODCAST MOST PEOPLE HAVEN’T SEEN Yesterday on The Black Line Brief, I unearthed a Frank Turek podcast appearance that, as far as I can tell, has received very little attention. This is just a SMALL clip from that appearance. During my full breakdown, I go through several striking statements from Turek that I believe are false or contradicted by other information surrounding this case. And some of what he says here raises entirely NEW questions. Don’t just watch this clip. Go back and watch yesterday’s full breakdown on The Black Line Brief. See the statements in context, look at what we compared them against, and decide for yourself. The more these people talk, the more there is to examine.

Thousands of servicemembers killed. Thousands more injured. Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians killed. Trillions spent. That’s what 25+ years of war in the Middle East got us. My colleagues and I are doing all we can to stop the U.S. from repeating these mistakes.
