Jen Psaki shares a remarkable litany of instances in which Donald Trump's confident assertions on his war against Iran are directly contradicted by news reports, many of which are sourced to members of Trump's own administration.   Rep. Jim Himes, member of the House Intelligence Committee, joins Jen to discuss the resignation of a top Trump counterintelligence official who objected to Trump's mischaracterization of Iran's threat to the United States. With less than glowing news coming out of Donald Trump war on Iran, Donald Trump and his acolytes, including some in the media, have decided to try to change the news by attacking the messengers. Terry Moran, former ABC News anchor, and Elise Labott, host of "Cosmopolitics" on Substack, talk with Jen Psaki about the important role of an independent press with a leader like Trump in power. And Ali Velshi reports in from the big board on primary elections in Illinois. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

The number of couples struggling to become pregnant due to unexplained infertility is growing at an alarming rate across the globe. Alongside this concerning rise is the growing awareness of how endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) – particularly those found in plastics and personal care products – are negatively affecting our hormonal health and overall well-being. If we removed or reduced EDCs from the environments of couples struggling to conceive – dramatically reducing their exposure – is it possible their fertility would be improved?  In this episode, Nate is joined by Dr. Shanna Swan, an award-winning scientist, and Sian Sutherland, a plastics expert, to discuss Shanna's new Netflix documentary, titled The Plastic Detox, where she enacts a real-world 'plastic intervention' in the lives of six couples struggling with unexplained infertility – with the hope that they are able to get pregnant by the end of the study. Additionally, Sian shares the strategies her organization has been using to increase regulation of EDC-containing products and increase the availability of plastic-free options. Shanna and Sian also discuss how they're bringing their work together for the Plastic Free Babies campaign, which emphasizes why avoiding toxic chemical exposure during the first one-thousand days of a baby's life is so important to preventing generational effects on overall health and fertility.  How might reducing our exposure to EDCs such as phthalates, bisphenols, and parabens improve markers of hormonal health and create ripple effects on our overall quality of life? What is the reasonable responsibility of our governments to test and regulate the safety of products on the market – and are our current institutions fulfilling those expectations? Finally, could addressing the toxins and pollution related to declining fertility lead us down a path of broader systemic change for the entire web of life?    About Dr. Shanna Swan: Dr. Shanna H. Swan, PhD, is an award-winning scientist based at Mt. Sinai (New York, NY). Shanna has published more than 200 scientific papers and has been featured in extensive media coverage around the world. She currently serves as the Director of the Action Science Initiative, a program that conducts rapid interventions and larger, longer-term studies that look at the impacts of environmental pollutants on fertility and related markers of reproductive health. Additionally, Shanna co-authored the 2021 book, Countdown: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.  Most recently, Shanna was featured in the documentary, The Plastic Detox, where she helped six couples dealing with unexplained fertility reduce their exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals in their environment in hopes of getting pregnant. The movie was released on Netflix on March 16th, 2026. Shanna's previous appearances include ABC News, NBC Nightly News, 60 Minutes, CBS News, PBS, BBC, PRI Radio, NPR, Andrew Huberman Lab, and The Joe Rogan Experience.    About Sian Sutherland: Sian Sutherland is Co-founder of A Plastic Planet, one of the most recognized and respected organizations tackling the plastic crisis. More recently, she also co-founded PlasticFree, the first materials and systems solutions platform, empowering the 160m global creatives to design waste out at the source. Sian was awarded the Female Marketer of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, and British Inventor of the Year. In 2023 at the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations (INC2), in partnership with Plastic Soup Foundation, A Plastic Planet launched the Plastic Health Council, bringing expert scientists to the negotiating process with the irrefutable proof of plastic chemicals' impacts on human health.  Most recently, in early 2024, Sian co-founded the Foundation for Visionary Science and Art with Alex Adams, working with the scientists to help fund their extraordinary research work on psychedelic therapies. Passionately pro-business and solutions focused, Sian believes the plastic crisis gives mankind a rare gateway to change both materials and systems to create a different future for next generations.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Donald Trump launched a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent company Dow Jones, Rupert Murdoch, and other executives, accusing the outlet of falsely tying him to Jeffrey Epstein's infamous 50th birthday book. The lawsuit claims the paper damaged Trump's reputation by publishing a story that suggested he personally signed a crude and lewd birthday greeting in Epstein's book back in 2003—something Trump flatly denies. Trump and his legal team argue that the WSJ deliberately pushed a false narrative for political and reputational harm, framing the report as part of a broader media effort to tarnish his image during his third run for the presidency.In response, the WSJ filed a motion to dismiss the case outright, contending that their reporting was factually accurate and legally protected. The paper argues that the letter referenced in their article matches the document released by Congress, making their reporting “substantially true.” They also stress that even if Trump did sign a bawdy note, such conduct would not be considered legally defamatory given his public persona and long history of controversial remarks. The Journal is asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, which would block Trump from re-filing it, and to order him to cover their legal fees. The court has already paused discovery proceedings—including Rupert Murdoch's scheduled deposition—until the judge rules on the dismissal, underscoring the high-stakes battle over press freedom, defamation law, and Trump's escalating war against media outlets.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:WSJ moves to dismiss Trump's $10B lawsuit over alleged letter in Epstein birthday book - ABC News

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching courtrooms turn into the main stage of American politics, but here we are on March 15, 2026, and the trials involving Donald Trump are heating up like a pressure cooker about to blow. Picture this: I'm sipping my morning coffee in my Washington, D.C. apartment, scrolling through updates on the federal election interference case in U.S. District Court under Judge Tanya Chutkan. Just last week, Trump's lawyers, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, doubled down on their wild push for an April 2026 trial date, arguing that the 11.5 million pages of discovery from Special Counsel Jack Smith's team—stacked up, they say, taller than eight Washington Monuments—demand at least two and a half years to review. According to Politico reports from the filings, they claim it's only fair since prosecutors had that long to build the case against Trump for his alleged conspiracies to subvert the 2020 election results, from fake electors to pressuring state officials like in Georgia.But hold on—prosecutors aren't buying it. Molly Gaston from Smith's office fired back in a Courthouse News Service brief, calling the defense's math ridiculous. She pointed out that 65% of those documents were already public or duplicates, including stuff from the National Archives, Trump's own Truth Social posts, and the House January 6 Select Committee transcripts. They front-loaded the key evidence, she said, with another 615,000 pages dropped over the weekend, 20% from Trump's own entities. No way this justifies kicking the trial into the next presidential term, they argue, especially since Trump knows most of this from the Jan. 6 hearings. Judge Chutkan, the no-nonsense Obama appointee, has warned Trump against inflammatory Truth Social rants that could taint the jury pool in D.C., hinting she'll speed things up if he keeps it up.Meanwhile, across the circuits, Trump's legal calendar is a nightmare. JustSecurity's master calendar shows deadlines piling up: In the Georgia RICO case, Fulton County DA Fani Willis is battling appeals over disqualifying her, with oral arguments wrapping last December before the Georgia Court of Appeals. Trump's team appealed Judge Scott McAfee's ruling allowing Willis to stay on, but whispers say it's dragging. Up in New York, the hush money case with DA Alvin Bragg—tied to Stormy Daniels payments—faced delays, but a federal appeals court shot down Trump's second removal bid to SDNY Judge Alvin Hellerstein. And don't get me started on the civil fronts: E. Jean Carroll's defamation suits, where juries already hit Trump with nearly $90 million in verdicts, now ping-ponging through the Second Circuit.Over in Florida, Judge Aileen Cannon's May 2024 classified docs trial got tossed on appeal, but Smith's team is pushing back in the Eleventh Circuit. Even the Supreme Court docket for 2026, as ABC News outlines, teases executive power clashes that could ripple into Trump's orbit, like limits on presidential immunity post his earlier motions. YouTube legal recaps from channels like those covering his "three court losses in three days" back in October 2024 feel like ancient history now, but they set the tone—Trump's delay tactics aiming for a potential 2025 White House return to pardon or dismiss federal charges, though state cases like Georgia and New York are bulletproof.It's exhausting, listeners, watching this unfold from my couch, wondering if justice will outpace politics. The stakes? The soul of our elections.

Former ABC News anchor Dan Harris reveals how a panic attack led him to meditation, brain training, and better health in this GB Classic.

The House Oversight Committee deposed Richard Kahn, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime accountant, as part of its ongoing congressional investigation into Epstein's finances and the broader network surrounding his operations. During the deposition, Kahn told lawmakers that he never saw any “red flags” in Epstein's financial records that suggested sex trafficking or abuse. He said his relationship with Epstein was strictly professional and that he never witnessed misconduct or received complaints from victims while working for him. Kahn acknowledged that Epstein gave gifts to both men and women, but he characterized those expenses as a very small portion of Epstein's overall spending and said they did not appear suspicious at the time. He also told investigators that Epstein had claimed his 2006 arrest in Florida was a mistake and that he did not realize the girls involved were underage, an explanation Kahn said he believed at the time. Kahn added that if he had known the full extent of Epstein's crimes, he would have immediately ended his professional relationship with him.Kahn served as Epstein's accountant for more than a decade and was deeply involved in managing the financier's complex financial structure, which included numerous bank accounts, shell companies, and trusts. After Epstein's death in 2019, Kahn and Epstein's longtime attorney Darren Indyke became co-executors of his estate, which was initially valued at roughly $650 million before being reduced by settlements paid to victims. Some victims have alleged in lawsuits that Kahn and Indyke helped create and manage the financial infrastructure that allowed Epstein's trafficking operation to function, including handling cash withdrawals and structuring accounts used within Epstein's network. Both men have denied wrongdoing, and a recent class-action lawsuit brought by victims was settled for at least $25 million without any admission of liability. Lawmakers say the deposition could provide insight into how Epstein financed his lifestyle and payments to victims, as well as why investigators and prosecutors never questioned key financial figures like Kahn during earlier federal investigations into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein's accountant says he didn't see any 'red flags' for abuse, trafficking - ABC News

Todd Blanche's CNN interview about his sit-down with Ghislaine Maxwell has been met with skepticism for good reason. Blanche framed his conversation with her as an exercise in transparency, but his insistence that it was “impossible” to determine if she was credible rang hollow, especially given the mountain of contradictions and lies Maxwell has already told under oath. Instead of pressing her on the details of Epstein's network, Blanche largely leaned into a narrative that it was up to the “public” to decide, effectively punting the DOJ's responsibility to establish facts. For someone in his position, such hedging looks less like neutrality and more like avoidance.What makes it worse is Blanche's background and the circumstances. As a former Trump lawyer, his presence raises red flags about conflicts of interest, and the softball nature of his questions only fuels suspicion that this interview was more about optics than accountability. Maxwell's transfer to a cushier, low-security facility right after this sit-down only adds to the perception that she is still receiving special treatment in exchange for selective cooperation. The entire spectacle looks less like a hard-nosed inquiry into one of the biggest sex-trafficking conspiracies of the modern era, and more like a carefully stage-managed charade designed to protect the powerful.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Blanche breaks silence on meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell: 'Impossible' to say if she was credible - ABC News

Laugh, cry, and reflect with us as Deborah Roberts shares why, in a divided world, the bonds between sisters — and the women who become like sisters — may matter more than ever. She has reported from war zones, interviewed world leaders, and earned Peabody and Emmy Awards for her journalism — but ABC News 20/20 co-anchor Deborah Roberts says her most personal story yet begins at home. This week, Deborah joins us to talk about her new book, Sisters Loved and Treasured: Stories of Unbreakable Bonds, a warmhearted celebration of one of life's most enduring relationships. In Sisters Loved and Treasured, Deborah curates a collection of conversations, meditations, and anecdotes from her own sisters, celebrity friends, and everyday people alike, who share deeply personal accounts of how their relationships as sisters shaped their lives. She writes candidly about feeling lost in a big family, the joy and strain of sibling relationships, and the heartbreak of losing two sisters. The book features more than 50 personal stories from Viola Davis, Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush, Arianna Huffington, Octavia Spencer, and many more. But sisterhood, Deborah reminds us, isn't only defined by blood. The book also explores how sisterhood transcends biological lines — and how the bonds between women friends can be just as powerful and sustaining.

Patriots, wake up and lock in—this is war on the deep state and foreign threats! @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove rip through the chaos in **S8E46 “Iran on Fire: Russia Begs for Mercy Trump Holds the Line”**, spotlighting Operation Epic Fury's devastating precision strikes that have hammered over 5,000–6,000 targets in Iran, obliterating 90+ vessels including 60+ ships and 30+ mine layers, dismantling IRGC command centers, ballistic missile sites, drone factories, and more with overwhelming U.S. airpower superiority—B-1s, B-2s, F-35s, and beyond—delivering clean, efficient results far from past Middle East quagmires. Russia's frantic calls for the U.S. and Israel to halt operations and negotiate reveal their desperation as Iran's regime reels, leadership possibly compromised, and proxies neutralized—Trump refuses to back down, demanding total resolution on America's terms. The duo slams establishment media's spin, from ABC News peddling unverified Iranian threats to California that Karoline Leavitt swiftly called out as false alarmism, to historical CNN staging tactics designed to manufacture fear. Explosive updates hit hard: FBI whistleblower revelations expose four counterintelligence ops—Crossfire Hurricane, Round River, Plasmic Echo, Arctic Frost—surveilling over 1,200 Trump associates from 2016-2025, treating patriots like foreign spies and violating rights under color of law, with Kash Patel building cases and prepping declassifications. Epstein's accountant confirms Rothschilds among key elite clients paying the financier, validating long-documented financial networks with no Trump ties. Breaking news interrupts with the Old Dominion University shooting—gunman dead, two injured—eerily timed amid these damning FBI drops, raising questions about distraction patterns. From voter roll cleanups removing non-citizens to Britain's ejection of hereditary nobles after centuries, the old guard crumbles.

In a world flooded with content and incremental business strategies, standing out is more than a competitive advantage, it’s a necessity. Legendary Category Designers Kevin Maney and Mike Damphousse joined Christopher Lochhead on this week’s episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different to dive into their latest thinking on category creation formula and the evolving marketplace. Having helped shape the category design movement with their previous work on “Play Bigger,” Kevin Maney and Mike Damphousse now bring ten years of new insights, tools, and experiences to the table. Their journey reveals the potential for entrepreneurs and established leaders to move from simply competing in existing markets to creating new market categories entirely. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Category Creation Formula: Context, Missing, Innovation A central development in Kevin Maney and Mike Damphousse's new book, “The Category Creation Formula,” is a straightforward equation: context plus missing plus innovation equals a new market category. This reframing shifts the conversation away from finding conventional “problems” and instead asks, “Given the changing context, what's missing for your target audience?” This subtle change is game-changing. By looking at how context—like technology shifts, societal changes, or policy moves—creates new gaps, innovators can identify true market opportunities. The missing is not just a problem, but an unmet need that, when matched with the right innovation, creates something genuinely new.   From Incremental Competition to Defining New Possibilities Traditional business thinking focuses on being better than the competition. Maney and Damphousse challenge this status quo with their method, which helps companies discover and fill what’s missing in the marketplace, rather than simply outperform existing players. Through hundreds of client projects, they have observed that when teams deeply engage with the formula, they often experience breakthrough clarity. This clarity leads to designing not only new products but building entirely new categories—transforming strategy meetings into the birthplace of the next Uber or LinkedIn Sales Solutions. The emotional impact on entrepreneurs is real, often marking a visionary moment that aligns teams, sharpens belief, and sets the trajectory toward category leadership.   AI and the Future: Accelerating Category Creation Artificial Intelligence is not just the latest innovation but a foundational change in context, similar to electricity's impact more than a century ago. For category designers, AI accelerates both the identification of what's missing and the speed at which innovations reach the market. As AI makes knowledge and execution close to free, what now matters is human insight: judgment about what new needs are emerging and how to fill those with breakthrough solutions. With the adjacent possible expanding, individuals and small teams can create billion-dollar outcomes, making category design skills more critical than ever. Maney and Damphousse's formula provides a framework to navigate this shift, empowering creators to define the future rather than react to it.

The House Oversight Committee is preparing to depose Richard Kahn, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime accountant, as part of its expanding congressional investigation into how Epstein managed and protected his wealth while allegedly operating a years-long sex-trafficking network. Kahn worked for Epstein for more than a decade and helped oversee the financier's complex financial structure, including trusts, shell entities, and other mechanisms that managed Epstein's multimillion-dollar fortune. Lawmakers believe questioning Kahn could provide insight into how Epstein funded his operations, moved money through various accounts, and maintained financial secrecy while facing mounting allegations of abuse. The committee has indicated that Kahn's knowledge of Epstein's financial infrastructure may help clarify whether money flows or financial arrangements enabled or concealed the broader trafficking enterprise.The deposition is part of a broader congressional effort to map Epstein's network of associates, advisers, and financial managers who may have played roles in his personal and business affairs. Kahn, along with Epstein's longtime attorney Darren Indyke, previously served as co-executors of Epstein's estate after his death in 2019 and has faced civil lawsuits from victims alleging they helped facilitate or conceal Epstein's illegal activities, accusations both men deny. A settlement in one of those lawsuits was later reached using funds from Epstein's estate without admissions of wrongdoing. Lawmakers say questioning individuals who handled Epstein's finances is essential to understanding how his wealth was managed, who may have benefited from it, and whether financial professionals helped maintain the structures that allowed Epstein's activities to continue for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House Oversight Committee to depose Epstein's longtime accountant - ABC News

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching courtrooms turn into battlegrounds, but here we are in the thick of it with Donald Trump facing off in multiple high-stakes trials. Over the past few days, tensions have boiled over in federal court in Washington, D.C., where U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan just slammed down a firm trial date of March 4 for Trump's federal election interference case. According to ABC News reports from the hearing, special counsel Jack Smith's team pushed hard for a January start to deliver justice swiftly to the public, while Trump's attorneys, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, begged for a delay all the way to April 2026, citing a mountain of evidence—over 11.5 million pages from the government's first batch alone.Picture the scene in that courtroom on Monday: Lauro arguing it's a "miscarriage of justice" and a "show trial," not a speedy one, insisting Trump deserves years to sift through documents stacked as high as eight Washington Monuments, as Courthouse News detailed in their coverage. Prosecutor Molly Gaston fired back, revealing how Trump's team had secretly fought in five sealed proceedings from 2022 to 2023 to block grand jury testimony from 14 witnesses. She pointed out much of the discovery overlaps with public records Trump already knows—like his own Truth Social posts, White House files, and Jan. 6 committee transcripts. Judge Chutkan wasn't having it. "You're not going to get two more years," she told Lauro firmly, noting Trump's "considerable resources" and the public's right to a timely resolution. Politico captured the stark clash: Smith's push for January 2024 versus Trump's wild 2.5-year postponement, which Chutkan rejected outright to avoid dragging into post-election chaos.This isn't isolated. Trump's calendar is a legal nightmare. In Manhattan, District Attorney Alvin Bragg has the hush money case locked for late March, tied to payments to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Down in Fulton County, Georgia, DA Fani Willis wants Trump in court on March 4 too, facing 41 counts alongside Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and David Shafer for election meddling. And don't forget the classified documents clash in Florida under Judge Aileen Cannon, eyed for May. JustSecurity's master calendar tracks it all, showing how these dates pile up amid Trump's campaign.As I watched the ABC11 clip of Chutkan's ruling, it hit me: Trump's team hopes delays let him reclaim the White House and potentially derail federal cases, though state probes like New York's and Georgia's are bulletproof to that. Chutkan even coordinated with the Manhattan judge to manage overlaps, and she's issued a protective order warning Trump against inflammatory Truth Social rants that could taint D.C. jurors. The charges? A criminal scheme to flip 2020 results via fake electors, Justice Department pressure, and Vice President Mike Pence arm-twisting amid the Capitol riot—all to cling to power.These past days feel like the calm before a perfect storm of verdicts. Will March kick off a trial marathon that reshapes everything? Listeners, thanks for tuning in.

It's Friday, March 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Iran's new Ayatollah vows to 'shed Trump's blood'  An Iranian ayatollah called for the "shedding" of President Donald Trump's blood in a chilling revenge statement broadcast on Iranian state television on Thursday, reports The Express. Ayatollah Javadi Amoli - one of Iran's most senior Islamic clerics - declared that the nation was "on the verge of a great test" and urged "the shedding of Zionist blood, the shedding of Trump's blood" on state television. Exiled Iranian Prince commends Trump for bombing Iran By contrast, in an interview on CBS' 60 Minutes, Prince Reza Pahlavi, the eldest son of the deposed last Shah of Iran, a leader of the opposition to the Iranian Islamic Republic, commended President Donald Trump for bombing the Iranian military sites. PAHLAVI: “My message to President Trump is that I'm here to echo and join millions of my compatriots inside and outside of Iran to thank him for having the courage to do what is not easy, but intervene. He will go down in the annals of Iranian history as the most celebrated foreign leader that changed the ball game and changed the world as a result.” Pahlavi, who has lived in exile 47 years, is the most prominent figure in the opposition to the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. (Watch 60 Minutes Overtime for more of the interview) Former homosexual acquitted for describing Christian conversion In what is viewed as an important international victory for freedom of speech and religion, Matthew Grech, a singer and former X-Factor contestant who has been prosecuted in Maltese courts for three long years for having spoken out publicly about leaving homosexuality, was acquitted Thursday morning, reports LifeSiteNews.com. He was joyous outside the courthouse. GRECH: “I'm standing with my friends and colleagues here at the Maltese courts, and I want to tell you guys that we won. The court has decided in our favor and has pronounced me and the co-accused as innocent. “It is a big day. I'm very thankful that the Maltese courts decided for freedom of speech. The Maltese courts decided for freedom of religion and has announced that I had every right to share my Christian views around sexuality and gender, and to mention organizations that are helping Christians to live consistently with their belief system.” Matthew Grech cited 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. “The Bible says in the book of Corinthians some of you were homosexuals, adulterers, you name it, but you were washed, sanctified, justified in the name of Lord Jesus. This is the good news. This is the Gospel. It offers hope, change and transformation.” Trump fires DHS Secretary Kristi Noem TRUMP: “You're fired!” On Thursday, after a painful couple of days of testimony before Congress, Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, was fired by President Donald Trump, reports ABC News. In addition to the expected attacks from Democratic Senators on DHS, Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana asked Secretary Noem pointed questions about whether President Trump signed off on her decision to authorize $220 million on Homeland Security ads which prominently featured her. Listen. NOEM: “I have a policy in place that I review contracts. My deputy chiefs have the ability to review anything under $5 million. Above that, I evaluate and look at.” KENNEDY: “Okay, and you do that, I understand, to try to curb waste and abuse of taxpayer money. Is that right?” NOEM: “Yes, sir. In fact, it's been extremely effective.” KENNEDY: “How do you square that concern for waste, which I share, with the fact that you have spent $220 million running television advertisements that feature you prominently?” NOEM: “Sir, the president tasked me with getting the message out to the country, and to other countries where we were seeing the invasion come from, with putting commercials out that told them that if they were in this country illegally, that they needed to leave, or we would detain them and remove them, and they'd not get the chance to come back to America the right way. That has been extremely effective.” (crosstalk) KENNEDY:  “The president asked you to run these advertisements. Is that right?” NOEM: “We had that conversation, yes, before I was put in this position and sworn in and confirmed, and since then as well.” KENNEDY: “Okay. You're testifying that President Trump approved this ahead of time. Is that my understanding?” NOEM: “We had conversations about making sure that we were telling people across …” KENNEDY: “No, ma'am, I'm asking you, sorry to interrupt, but the President approved ahead of time you spending $220 million running TV ads across the country in which you are featured prominently?” NOWEM: “Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes. worked with [Office of Management and Budget].” KENNEDY: “Did the president know you were going to do this? NOEM: “Yes.” KENNEDY: “He did?” NOEM: “Yes.” KENNEDY: “Okay.” In response, President Trump told Reuters, “I never knew anything about it.” RedState.com speculates that the exchange between GOP Senator Kennedy and Kristi Noem was her undoing. Shortly after his comments to Reuters, Trump posted to Truth Social ​that Noem would be replaced. The president said he was "pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, effective March 31, 2026." This marks the first Cabinet secretary Trump has fired in his second term. Anniversary of Christian martyrdom of 22-year-old Perpetua And finally, the church remembers the martyrdom of Perpetua, a 22-year-old Christian noblewoman in Carthage, North Africa on March 7th A.D. 203. She was executed alongside Felicity, a pregnant slave woman imprisoned with her, to cruelly celebrate the birthday of Caesar Geta, the son of emperor Septimius Severus.  Simply because they were Christians, they were flogged, attacked by hungry leopards, and finally beheaded. Listen to this excerpt from a 30-minute animated video in The Torchlighter Series. PRISON CARETAKER: “As prison caretaker doing duty in the stench-filled underground cells, I've gotten a glimpse of many a prisoner's own faith or lack of it. MAN: "Please no. I don't want to die." PRISON CARETAKER: "I don't judge them. I too would fear the mauling beasts and death. But what I saw today in a young woman and her companions, such courage I have never seen before.” Joshua 1:9 says, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” You can get the animated Perpetua Story DVD through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

The delicious, healthful prune has long had a cross to bear: It's best known for making people poop. In the late 1990s, the California Prune Board set out on a quixotic mission to amend this sales-flattening reputation. It would attempt to rechristen this ancient fruit in the hopes the prune could one day be as unencumbered as an apricot, a raisin, or a fig. In a world where every product and person increasingly believes it's one good rebrand away from changing how they are seen, the story of the prune's attempt to become the “dried plum” is a telling tale about the impossibility of escaping who you really are—and the freedom that comes with self-acceptance. You'll hear from Richard Peterson, retired Executive Director of the California Prune Board; food writer and chef David Liebovitz; lawyer and lobbyist Dan Haley; and Kiaran Locy, Director of Brand and Industry Communications at the California Prune Board.This episode was written by Willa Paskin.
