Eventually, they turned to embryo adoption and were able to get pregnant with the first donor embryo transfer.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the deteriorating state of Los Angeles and the homelessness crisis, attributing much of the blame to Democratic leadership. He pivots quickly into a broader global discussion, questioning President Trump’s recent meetings with international leaders, including the President of South Africa. We’re joined by Ambassador Francis Rooney, former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy, to talk about the new papacy of Pope Leo and the evolving role of the Catholic Church in today’s world. Ambassador Rooney shares personal insights from his 25-year relationship with Pope Leo—formerly Father Bob Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Wednesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the potential passage of a major bill in Congress and the political dynamics surrounding it. They speculate on whether the “big, beautiful bill” championed by President Trump will pass unscathed, agreeing that while some turbulence is likely, it will probably be pushed through in large part due to Trump’s influence and persistence. The conversation shifts to Elon Musk’s comments at the Qatar Economic Forum, where he downplayed the role of the DOGE group in enforcing cost-cutting measures, prompting further discussion on Musk’s evolving relationship with Trump. Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up Thursday on Good Morning BT! Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

"It's hard to see any other bond market replacing the U.S.," says Tim Holland. He largely dismissed Moody's downgrading the U.S. credit rating. One concern he has moving forward is whether or not April's tariff volatility has bled into the economy. Abroad, Tim sees "cheap" opportunities in international stocks.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this month's Smart Planning segment, a financial advisor discusses when it might make sense to scale back your 401(k) contributions. Is it safe to invest right now? Should you keep contributing to your retirement account when the economy feels uncertain? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss how to navigate turbulent financial times by focusing on long-term investing strategies and what you can control. They break down what's going on with recent stock market activity, why the dollar is weakening, and how investors can stay the course by understanding their risk tolerance and using tools like dollar-cost averaging. They also touch on emotional investing and offer practical ways to handle market anxiety without pulling back on your financial goals. Then, Elizabeth welcomes Ross Anderson, founder of Craftwork Capital and co-host of the Check Your Balances podcast, to answer a listener's question about whether to reduce 401(k) contributions due to fears about job security. They discuss how to evaluate whether you're holding too much cash, the trade-offs between contributing to retirement versus living for today, and how the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement can work even if you start later in life. They also cover the impact of retiring abroad, how international taxes can complicate your strategy, and why certain insurance products might not match your goals.

In a week marked by global headlines and domestic political upheaval, Axios and Politico report rare praise from Biden officials and senior Democrats for Donald Trump's bold, fast-moving foreign policy moves. From AI chip diplomacy with Saudi Arabia to high-stakes negotiations in the Middle East, Trump is garnering unexpected respect—even from across the aisle. Meanwhile, Democrats are embroiled in chaos at home, defending ICE facility raids and activist judges aiding criminal fugitives. With European media lauding Trump's tariff strategy and America's trade rebalancing, the contrast between presidential leadership and partisan dysfunction has never been more stark.

On Tuesday, UnitedHealth Group announced that CEO Andrew Witty was stepping down. The announcement came from Witty as the company suspended its full-year financial outlook - because it believes that medical costs will be higher than forecast. UnitedHealth's revenue was over $400 billion. The year before Witty became CEO in 2021, its revenue was $257 billion - that's a 55% increase.At the same time, the Trump administration's 2026 budget will slash $880 billion in cuts to the critical programs of Medicare and Medicaid, while funding the military to an even higher level than requested by the Pentagon. Some of the cuts will come in the form of privatization, pushing recipients to private plans with Medicare Advantage - described by former Cigna executive Wendell Potter as “one of the biggest scams that we've seen in this country” because of significant fraud by the private companies that administer the plans.From cuts to healthcare and other social services padding the pockets of the wealthy, to threats to eliminate habeas corpus and other key democratic rights, and into new moves on the international stage, the Trump administration is showing us an entire system in crisis and moving far to the right.Support the show

Trump sells his tariff agenda as a jobs boom for American workers — but it's a smokescreen for a global attack on labor. At home, new factories are routed to anti-union states, while Trump's appointees quietly dismantle the NLRB to block worker organizing. Abroad, tariffs target export economies like China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, fueling layoffs and driving down wages to benefit U.S. corporate margins. It's a calculated campaign to suppress labor power worldwide. But the chaos it's unleashed — from domestic legal battles to global economic disruption — suggests the plan may be backfiring. Even some of Trump's allies are starting to question whether the madness is strategic… or just madness.
Abroad changed my life for the better. It's not only the clothes I am still unpacking, it's the memories, the perspective shifts, and of course, all of the friendships (and the lessons they taught me) I made while living in Barcelona. Today, I will fill you in on all the pieces of wisdom and true gifts I learned - in hopes that they will change your perspective as well.

Today's Headlines: After a weekend in Palm Beach and what might have been a PBS movie marathon, President Trump announced plans to reopen Alcatraz as a functioning prison and to impose 100% tariffs on films produced outside the U.S. Trump also introduced a new voluntary self-deportation initiative offering $1,000 and travel expenses to undocumented immigrants who leave the country using a government app. Elsewhere, a Newark air traffic controller is warning travelers to avoid the airport entirely, citing dangerous staffing shortages that have led to major flight cancellations. The FAA is now offering $5,000 bonuses to attract new recruits. In other news, the Department of Education has resumed sending student loan borrowers in default to collections, threatening wage garnishment for millions after a five-year freeze on penalties. Abroad, Israel's government has approved a plan to reoccupy Gaza and displace its population if no hostage and ceasefire deal is reached by mid-May—timed with Trump's upcoming Middle East visit. Meanwhile, 19 state attorneys general and Washington, DC have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services, claiming that deep budget and staffing cuts have dismantled vital programs related to disease control, maternal health, and substance abuse, just as a measles outbreak takes hold.

This combined segment explores two interconnected battlefronts: the U.S. military's intensifying campaign against Iran-backed Houthi forces in the Red Sea, and a sweeping internal overhaul of Pentagon leadership. Framed as both a global and domestic struggle, the host argues that recent moves—like the dismissal of top-ranking officers—signal a push to reverse years of ideological capture within the military, restore constitutional accountability, and reorient national defense toward serving the American people rather than political agendas.
Orly Erez-Likhovski was worried when she heard about the threats against attendees of a screening of the annual alternative Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Ceremony in the city of Ra'anana set to be held at a Reform synagogue on the eve of Israel's Memorial Day. Erez-Likhovski, Executive Director of the Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC), told Haaretz Podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer how the "emotional and moving" ceremony was disrupted by hundreds of opponents chanting outside, throwing stones at the building, and intruders attempting to break in and disrupt it. At the end, when police escorted her to her car, a stone smashed her windshield and injured her. "It was very, very, very scary," she said. "I've been to many protests in the last 20 years because of my work at IRAC. But I've never seen such an amount of violence and hatred in my life. It was really a very, very frightening experience." Despite the violence, Erez-Likhovski said she was "proud" of the congregation for refusing to back down and cancel the event because of the hate and incitement. "Giving in to extremism is dangerous in itself, but also because it's a slippery slope. I think we have to stand up for our values." She said she was disappointed by the police's failure to handle the situation and the "insufficient" reaction of the country's leaders, who failed to condemn the violence. "I would expect everyone to condemn this, because it seems like a very basic thing to say you should not come and hit people and try to kill them because they think differently. Unfortunately, this is not obvious in the current state of affairs in Israel."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
