In this episode of Brown and Happy, we sit down with Madhu, a South Asian mother, finance professional, and community advocate, for a deeply personal and powerful conversation about domestic violence in South Asian communities. Madhu lives in Somerset, NJ with her beautiful 9-year-old daughter and her adorable 5-year-old, four-legged son, Tofu. She is the Chief Compliance Officer and Senior Client Manager at Wealth Planning Advisory Group in Bedminster, NJ. Madhu also serves as the Board Treasurer for Manavi, a pioneering organization dedicated to ending violence against South Asian women. Madhu shares her insight and experiences, along with her work as Board Treasurer for Manavi—a New Jersey–based nonprofit that has been supporting South Asian survivors of gender-based violence since 1985. Together, we explore the cultural stigma that keeps survivors silent, the role of organizations like Manavi, and how community-based healing and justice are possible. This conversation is for anyone who wants to understand the intersection of culture, silence, survival, and strength.

Todd Piro of Fox & Friends First joins Marc Cox to discuss the media's approach to global reporting, and international diplomacy involving Saudi Arabia, China, and potential Russia-Ukraine peace talks. The pair also touch on U.S. hostage returns and Trump's visit to Bedminster golf club, including his championship win and private plane trip from Qatar. On the sports front, Todd shares his excitement over the New York Knicks playoff run, with standout performances from Villanova alums Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart.

[1:42] We're at RISKWORLD this week, but preparations are already underway for the RIMS ERM Conference 2025 on November 17th and 18th in Seattle, Washington. RIMS is accepting educational session submissions through May 20th. [2:00] The best submissions will address current and future challenges facing ERM practitioners as well as provide leading practices and concrete takeaways for a diverse audience of risk professionals from industries or organizations of varied sizes, disciplines, functions, and roles. [2:16] These include officers, leaders, managers, and students. The link to the submission form is in this episode's show notes. [2:26] Of course, mark your calendars for November 17th and 18th, and I'll be sure to alert you when registration opens. [2:34] RISKWORLD 2025 was one of the highlights of the 75th Anniversary of RIMS. We had a fantastic time here at McCormick Place in Chicago. We've got a lot of perspectives that we're going to cover! [2:47] Our first guest is the Responsible Use of Space Coordinator in the Risk Management Department of Thomson Rivers University in British Columbia and a Board Member of BC RIMS. She is making her RISKWORLD and RIMScast debut. [3:04] Audrey Trim is here to tell us about her experience as a first-time attendee and the 2025 Coast-to-Coast Risk Management Legacy Challenge, which was a big draw among the students at RIMS Canada 2024, and we expect that to possibly outdo itself in 2025. [3:24] You could sense the energy on the exhibit room floor on Day 1 of RISKWORLD. Let's get to it! [3:32] Interviews! Audrey Trim, welcome to RIMScast! [3:38] On RISKWORLD Day 1, Audrey enjoyed the Matha Stewart opening keynote. It was a great, inspirational show. Audrey has taken in some great sessions. She's looking forward to some educational seminars. This is Audrey's first RISKWORLD; it will not be her last! [4:57] Audrey explains her job title, Responsible Use of Space Coordinator. She oversees the non-academic space, among other things, on the Thomson Rivers University campus. She focuses on the best use of the space in a responsible way. [6:07] In earlier roles, Audrey worked on the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier in Kamloops and was an Event Coordinator for the City of Kamloops. She also coordinated a Buskers Festival. Then she fell into risk management, and she's loving it. [6:28] Audrey joined the Risk Group at Thomson Rivers three years ago. She became a BC RIMS member and now serves on the chapter board. Audrey is on the organizing committee of the Coast to Coast Risk Management Legacy Challenge, working with the SA RIMS Chapter. [7:01] This is the Second Annual Coast to Coast Risk Management Legacy Challenge for Canada. They will try to outdo the premier year. The Challenge involves students in teams of four from universities across Canada. [7:31] The teams get a case study and compete for the top two spots. The top two teams will get a chance to present their findings at the 2025 RIMS Canada Conference, which will be in Calgary, Alberta, from September 14th through 17th. [7:50] This year, Ken Letander, Case Study Champion, owner and Founder of Strat First Inc., a Canadian risk management firm, has chosen the case study topic: Reporting, Set Aside, Spend: Indigenous business joint venture, ethical dilemmas, and program integrity benefits. [8:15] It's going to be a big draw. Audrey hopes lots of teams apply. Ken Letander and others will judge the entries. [8:45] Audrey describes the passion and thought that went into the submissions to the 2024 Coast to Coast Challenge. The winning submission developed a tool to measure health equity across the province. The tool was given to the Fraser Health Authority to use day-to-day.  [9:35] The Coast to Coast Challenge is open to students across Canada. One of the members of the winning team last year changed her direction from business to risk management, because she had such a great experience at the conference and during the case study. [10:38] Apply to join the Coast to Coast Risk Management Legacy Challenge by May 24th. The case study will be assigned on May 30th. Each team submits a 10-page report. The judges will pick the top two teams to present at the RIMS Canada Conference 2025. [10:55] A link to the submissions page and contact information is in this episode's show notes. [11:16] Audrey's advice to anyone considering attending RISKWORLD 2026: “Know where you're going and how to get around the conference. Also, curate your sessions. There are a lot of options here. Pick out the ones that will have an impact on you and teach you something great.” [11:35] “There are so many networking opportunities. Take advantage of those. Get out there. Don't be afraid to try new things!” [11:39] RIMS Canada 2025 will be held from September 14th through 17th in Calgary. Registration will open soon. Audrey says, “Do it! The RIMS Canada Conference was a great opportunity to meet people and network!” [12:20] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! We are back on May 22nd, with GRC, a TÜV SÜD Company, and their newest session, “Asset Valuations in 2025: Managing Tariffs, Inflation, and Rising Insurance Scrutiny”. [12:36] On June 5th, Zywave joins us to discuss “Today's Escalating Risk Trajectory: What's the Cause and What's the Solution?” [12:47] On June 17th, Origami Risk returns to present “Strategic Risk Financing in an Unstable Economy: Leveraging Technology for Efficiency and Cost Reduction”. This session was rescheduled from May. If you were already registered, you do not need to take any action. [13:03] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/Webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [13:15] Spencer Educational Foundation's Grants program is starting soon. Spencer's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [13:34] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in General Grants to support over 130 student-centered experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process is now open through July 30th, 2025. [13:55] General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. Learn more about Spencer's General Grants through the Programs tab of SpencerEd.org. [14:05] On the 7th of October, the New Jersey RIMS Chapter will return to the beautiful Fiddler's Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, for their Annual Charity Golf/Pickleball Event. [14:18] Registration is open, and the event proceeds are used to fund the chapter's Spencer and Kids' Chance Scholarships. It was the filming location for the upcoming movie sequel, Happy Gilmore 2. For more information and to register, please NewJersey.RIMS.org. [14:42] My next guest was a panelist on several RIMS webinars. I was delighted to see her, so we could record this special segment live at RISKWORLD 2025. She is Lucy Straker. She is the focus group leader for U.S. Political Violence & Deadly Weapons Protection at Beazley. [15:00] We will talk about the trends she's seeing in her area of practice. [15:06] Lucy Straker, welcome to RIMScast!  [15:29] In 2016, Beazley looked at the landscape as it relates to terrorism and active assailant events and realized that traditional insurance options weren't providing sufficient solutions for its clients. Beazley created a product and a marketplace around active armed assailant events. [16:02] Lucy says what you see in the media is a fraction of what's happening. The media report the biggest and worst events. The risk is far higher than what is reported in the media. [16:31] Violence and shootings have increased. People are now more aware of the risk and are trying to respond to it through insurance products and legislation such as California's SB-553, with much more focus on preventing these events from occurring. [16:54] We want to avoid workplace violence before it becomes something. A lot of clients think they already have coverage for workplace violence in their traditional general liability insurance. [17:19] Recently, general liability carriers have put exclusions on their products for AMB, firearms, weapons, or the expected or intended injury exclusion found in a traditional ISA form. [17:38] Lucy says clients need to be aware that there is a potential coverage gap. A misconception among clients is that none of them think they will have a shooting. They're in denial. When there's a shooting, you hear, “I never thought it would happen to me!” [18:03] We're at a stage where gun violence is so prevalent in the U.S. that you can't argue you didn't think something was going to happen. You have to plan and prepare for the worst-case scenario. [18:28] Lucy advises risk leaders to buy coverage to help them cover the gap. They do not have to be alone. With most shootings, there is a warning sign. There is a trail. There are things to do to prevent it. [18:52] As a company, protocols have to be embedded from top-down and bottom-up. The company has to communicate every plan and procedure to its employees. Employees have to be trained and retrained. This is not something they're going to be thinking about every day. [19:09] You have to engage with your security team. You have to screen people. You have to screen the company. You have to create a culture of reporting. People are not going to report something unless they feel comfortable reporting it. You need to have anonymous reporting. [19:24] You need to instill a culture in your company of “See something, say something, report it.” It could be someone coming in and acting funny, or someone posting on social media, “I'm going to go carry out a shooting.” [19:46] More often than not, if someone's going down a path to violence, there are signs. They don't just wake up one morning and say they're going to go carry out a shooting. There are warning signs, and we want to catch them before it becomes something more material. [20:13] There are different lines of coverage and ways that coverage can respond, such as active assailant forms. Think about your business and other areas of your business you might not have thought about. Lucy mentions the United Health Care CEO being shot off the premises. [20:38] It was a targeted event. Were there warning signs online by Luigi, the perpetrator? How can you identify those threats? Make sure you have risk management and preventive measures in place. Think of the litigious landscape. We're now seeing more nuclear verdicts. [21:02] People always want someone to blame. You've got to make sure that, if something happens, you're doing right by the people to try and eliminate and reduce that liability on the back end. [21:15] RIMS Plug! The first of hopefully many RIMS Texas Regional Conferences will be held in San Antonio from August 4th through the 6th, 2025. This groundbreaking event is set to unite the Texas RIMS Chapters and welcome risk management professionals from around the world. [21:35] Guess what, folks! Registration is now open! The advance rate is available through May 16th. A link is in this episode's show notes. You can also visit the Events page of RIMS.org to register. We look forward to seeing you in Texas! [21:51] Let's Move to My Final Guest, François Beaume, The SVP for Risks and Insurance at Sonepar and the VP of AMRAE (The Association for Corporate Risk and Insurance Management)! [22:16] François Beaume is here to discuss the findings of the 17th Edition of the RMIS Panorama that AMRAE produces in association with and with the support of several groups, including RIMS. [22:36] François Beaume, welcome back to RIMScast! [23:02] AMRAE has the 17th Annual Edition of the RMIS Panorama available. In 17 years, the most significant evolution in risk management information system offerings has been the integration of advanced technologies like AI, automation, and data visualization. [23:57] These add-ons transform the software from a pure data management tool to a much more sophisticated platform that provides productive analyses and real-time risk monitoring to enhance decision-making capabilities and processes in a wider scope of topics. [24:40] Panorama is a collection of surveys. One survey focuses on vendors and one survey focuses on risk managers. François says there is still room for improvement in this solution. Progress has been made on flexibility and integration capability, with changes to come. [25:12] François sees a need to guarantee the success of such solutions, train users, and provide support to users to streamline how they use the system. Vendors receive feedback to provide customizable solutions, enhanced integration capability, training, user clubs, and more. [26:07] Interconnection is a key area of these tools. With APIs, modular architecture, and code-based solutions, more and more, these tools can connect with other risk management information systems. Some corporations have several risk management systems. [26:45] There are more and more interconnected features in these systems, to allow the risk manager and all the teams involved in the use of the risk management programatics to extract the most important benefits from the use of the tool. [27:04] ESG is a key area where this matters more and more. In Europe, there is a strong push for ESG compliance that requires corporations to gather and manage a huge volume of data that, when organized, is helpful to fuel the risk management processes. [27:33] The report evaluates 52 solutions in four functional categories, covering 17 functional modules and 14 technical modules to allow you to compare and assess the value of the solutions and if they are compatible with your company's technology for audit, risk, and more. [28:22] AMRAE is looking at the functional scope and the depth of the features that are offered. Is the scope well-covered? They are looking at technical capabilities; is it easy to integrate a solution? Is it scalable? How is the user interface? What can the admin customize? [28:45] AMRAE also gathers user feedback and testimonials from using a given tool in real life. That feedback provides robust data capabilities, seamless integration capabilities, and more user-friendly interfaces that will benefit the users of the tool. [29:36] RMIS vendors use AI in predictive analytics of historical data. Risk management is gathering and dealing with historical data linked to risk management topics to anticipate future risks. [29:59] Vendors use AI to automate workflows and streamline data from the field and validation from the stakeholders, reducing manual intervention and increasing confidence in the data quality. All data will be analyzed more easily with AI and integrated into interactive dashboards. [30:34] Dashboarding has improved over the past year to provide more interactive dashboards for better risk insights and risk decision-making processes. [31:10] François has advice for risk managers looking for RMIS software. His most valuable advice is to use the RMIS Panorama. It's freely available to anyone. You can get it in French or English. Besides the Panorama PDF, there is an online platform that allows customization. [31:48] The entire data set from the vendor and risk manager surveys is freely available online. You can customize your analytics of the data based on your use case. [32:32] François speaks of captives and the evolving reinsurance market. The market today is favorable toward captives, a powerful tool for improving corporate risk management and the way corporations are living with ESG. There is a strong push in Europe for captives. [33:22] François has seen the creation of about 20 captives in France. Corporations need captives in the risk management process and risk financing optimization. [34:00] Special thanks again to all of our guests and all of the RISKWORLD attendees who made this year's RISKWORLD Conference so very special.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin and his guest, Jennifer Pack, RIMS 2025 Risk Manager of the Year, discuss her career and achievements, including Hyatt's VP of Risk Management. Jennifer describes how her membership in the RIMS Chicago Chapter and service on the Board impacted her career.   Jennifer helped align Hyatt's risk strategies with its evolving business model to ensure resilience in today's complex environment. Leading nearly 40 professionals, Jennifer's leadership and innovative risk solutions have helped strengthen Hyatt's risk management framework, to proactively identify risks and develop strategies to address them. Jennifer successfully redesigned and centralized Hyatt's Short-Term, Long-Term Disability, and Workers' Compensation programs, reducing manual processing by up to 80,000 hours, improving compliance, and reducing legal exposure. It is linked to millions of dollars in savings. Under her leadership, Hyatt's risk management team is overhauling Hyatt Hotels' fire safety with the first-of-its-kind Fire Life Safety Compliance and Governance Program, setting a standard for the organization and industry. The initiative includes the implementation of new technology, as well as auditing the 1,450 Hyatt hotels in 79 countries. Jennifer is a beloved mentor who has had an impact on many careers. She continues to demonstrate her commitment to advancing the risk management profession as an active member of the RIMS Chicago Chapter.   Jennifer's innovations may inspire your work for your organization's ERM program.

[1:51] We're at RISKWORLD this week but preparations are already underway for the RIMS ERM Conference 2025 on November 17th and 18th in Seattle, Washington. RIMS is accepting educational session submissions through May 20th. [2:08] The best submissions will address current and future challenges facing ERM practitioners as well as provide leading practices and concrete takeaways for a diverse audience of risk professionals from industries or organizations of varied sizes, disciplines, functions, and roles.

Of course, mark your calendars for November 17th and 18th and I'll be sure to alert you when registration opens. [2:55] The RIMS Risk Manager of the Year Program aims to raise the profile of the risk profession and the outstanding programs the honorees have implemented within their organizations. [3:04] The award was created in 1977 and the Risk Management Honor Roll was added in 1981. The 2025 RIMS Risk Manager of the Year is Jennifer Pack of Hyatt. [3:16] As VP of Risk Management, Jennifer has transformed risk management at Hyatt, embedding a culture that has provided a launchpad for organizational success. Her innovations in captive management also earned her this award. [3:28] Jennifer is a long-standing member of the RIMS Chicago Chapter and an all-around fantastic professional. Her profile will soon appear in the Awards Edition of RIMS Risk Management magazine. [3:40] Jennifer will receive the award on May 5th at 4:00 p.m., on the main stage at RISKWORLD. We're going to get to know her a little bit now. We'll talk ERM, captives, Chicago RIMS, hotel and hospitality, and more. [3:57] Interview! RIMS 2025 Risk Manager of the Year, Jennifer Pack, welcome to RIMScast!  [4:34] Jennifer has been at Hyatt, for going on 18 years. She can stay at any hotel she would like! [5:03] Some people like to leave their jobs every few years for a new company and skills. Jennifer's career at Hyatt has been an adventure! She hasn't been doing the same thing for 18 years. Every couple of years, she gets new roles and responsibilities. She's constantly learning. [5:24] She has a foundation of knowing whom to go to, what the systems are, and how to get things done. There's a base familiarity but with some excitement and learning opportunities. [5:36] If the feeling of being able to learn and grow ever stops, Jennifer will think about leaving. She's enjoying her time. It seems like she's working or a new company all the time. They're transforming. They're changing. The risk landscape is changing. There's never a dull moment. [5:56] Justin feels the same way about working at RIMS! He started as a writer but then got these responsibilities and they took on sort of a life of their own and attracted more of an audience. It's more work, but it's more fun and rewarding. [6:25] Jennifer joined Hyatt in a group called Compliance and Controls. She was hired to set up their Sarbanes-Oxley department. In reaction to the financial crisis after the downfall of Arthur Andersen and Enron, Sarbanes-Oxley was born and Jennifer became an expert on it. [6:58] Jennifer launched that group and then it was moved into Internal Audit where they were exposed to a lot more people and systems. Jennifer had the opportunity to backfill someone in the Risk Management department and never left. She's been in the risk function for 15 years. [7:30] When Jennifer joined the risk group it had seven risk practitioners in the corporate office. There were five or six Occupational Health Managers in the field, helping with Workers' Compensation and occupational safety. There are over 35 full-time members now. [8:09] They've taken on new roles in the 15 years: physical security, business resilience, fire life safety compliance, and other health and safety functions in the company. They could probably use a few more people but they're doing well. [8:38] The risk profile of the company has changed. The geopolitical risk profile of the world has changed. Hyatt's offerings have changed. They used to be mostly business, group, and convention, and now they lean into leisure, travel, and all-inclusive, which have different risks. [9:16] Hyatt has tripled its resort rooms and quintupled its lifestyle rooms since 2017. A lifestyle room is about meeting clientele where they are. Millennials want to travel the world and experience the environment, such as an attached nightclub in Miami or New York. [9:55] They're unconventional hotels with the framework of a well-known brand, where guests have comfort, safety, security, cybersecurity, and loyalty points while feeling like they're in a niche hotel with great and different experiences. It feels like a boutique, attached to the brand. [11:06] Social inflation is a risk. Liability insurance has gone up because claim payouts have gone up tremendously. Claim attorneys are targeting hospitality. [12:12] Hyatt is thinking globally about health, safety, and security, making sure policies are locked down, training is locked down, and people know how to report an incident, and when to report it. How do you de-escalate an incident to win the guest back? [12:36] Saying, “I'm sorry that happened to you. Here are some points. We care about you,” reinforcing that, versus saying, “Let my insurance company deal with it.” That's the last thing we want. If our guests had a bad incident, they had a bad experience. [12:51] Especially if you're traveling on leisure with your family, you want to know that you'll be taken care of. There's an expectation that you're going to be safe and secure. Hyatt wants to make sure to bring the level of care to them that they deserve. [13:07] Hyatt is working on the front end to retrain employees on ramping up safety and security measures and knowing how to respond when an incident happens. [13:18] Then, if it gets into the claims section, the claims management team has new robust processes to manage claims to drive down exposure. On the insurance procurement side, Hyatt is leaning into its captive to take on much higher retention in-house. [14:09] Hyatt is asking leadership in the field to bring education and awareness to the importance of risk management, what's at risk, and what the current legal environment is, and overlay that with wanting to care for people. Hyatt cares about the guest experience. [14:43] This is a macro-level environment. If you have litigation system abuse across the country, what are insurers doing about it? What are brokers doing about it? What are corporations doing about it? [14:56] Jennifer gets with her peers in the hospitality industry, working in their respective associations, to address these issues at the state and federal levels, change laws, and push for tort reform and disclosures of litigation funding. [15:28] Hyatt has partnered with the American Lodging and Hospitality Association and is considering partnering with insurance companies. You can't just hope someone else will take care of the problem. It's a much bigger problem that we all need to address. [16:06] Justin points out that third-party litigation funding is one of the top initiatives and campaigns for RIMS this year. RIMS recently had the Legislative Summit in Washington, D.C., where third-party litigation funding was a top priority. It was a top RIMS talking point on the Hill. [16:38] Jennifer says Hyatt and the hospitality industry are in with RIMS on the issue of third-party litigation funding. If it continues, guests are going to have to pay more for a stay and for the experiences they want to have as rising risk costs are passed to the consumers. [17:04] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! We are back on May 22nd, with GRC, a TÜV SÜD Company, and their newest session, “Asset Valuations in 2025: Managing Tariffs, Inflation, and Rising Insurance Scrutiny”.

For more information, and to register, please NewJersey.RIMS.org. [19:21] Let's Return to My Interview with RIMS 2025 Risk Manager of the Year, Jennifer Pack! [19:47] Hyatt put a captive in place in 2013. Back then, Hyatt had huge insurance cost swings year-on-year that they couldn't forecast. It created a lot of “noise” on the balance sheet. They originally put the captive in place to take away that noise and remove wild cost volatility. [20:38] Over time, Hyatt started to see success and build up a surplus they saw the value of a captive, especially as market conditions changed. They brought in additional forms of insurance coverage with traditional deductible buy-downs with workers' compensation and GL. [21:04] They started to see the surplus build up and they were able to give some of the surplus back to the participants and drive down their premium cost. [21:14] In the pandemic, the hospitality business came to a halt. Before the pandemic, Hyatt's average occupancy around the world was over 75%. In April 2020, it dropped to 6%. The owners of Hyatt were under extreme pressure. [21:43] Jennifer had an extra surplus in the captive and was able to give relief to the owners and to the company in that year and the next couple of years. Claim volume went down due to lower occupancy. Hyatt used some of that cash to fund large acquisitions. [22:19] That's when Hyatt saw social inflation in gaps in coverage. There was no coverage for a pandemic. Through the captive, Jennifer was able to offer that coverage to the owners. She offered wages and hours insurance to the owners. [22:48] Coming out of COVID-19, with the impact of social inflation, the captive took on larger line sizes and larger layers in its umbrella tower. They had some acquisitions in cyber. They bought the Apple Leisure Group. [23:36] In a lot of those services, Hyatt isn't providing the service but is almost like a travel agent, connecting you to the hotel, airline, or excursion. If there is an incident, the third party has the coverage. Hyatt has exposure for connecting you to the service. [24:01] Hyatt had to get creative with coverage for these new exposures, working with broker partners to fill those gaps. They did it largely with the captive, buying time until they could get a traditional product in place. [24:17] With the captive, Hyatt filled gaps, helped grow the business, and used it as a business enabler, providing cash, relief to owners, and coverage that may not have been commercially available, either to buy time or permanently fill a gap. It's been fun! [24:53] Jennifer regularly changes which hat she wears. As the captive President, she has to look at what Hyatt is doing to protect the captive and make sure it's adequately funded and complies with regulations. From a governance perspective, is Hyatt doing the right things? [25:21] Jennifer regularly brings in third-party experts to check the captive. Jennifer's decisions as President of the captive are through the lens of the captive and as the owner of this business, what they are doing to grow revenues, manage expenses, and keep an adequate surplus. [25:44] The captive doesn't run razor-thin. To have a forward-looking approach, it needs to have an adequate surplus, reserves, and cash in the captive. They're very conservative in protecting it. [26:06] From a corporate risk management perspective, when Hyatt needs to buy insurance, Jennifer asks, can we buy it from the captive? She sometimes has tough conversations with Hyatt about borrowing versus driving up investment income to protect everyone's interests. [26:37] Jennifer has to keep top-of-mind, which lens she's looking through, whether President of the Captive or Hyatt Vice President of Risk Management. She wears two hats, managing all the key stakeholders' needs and wants. [27:17] Some of the stakeholders are Hyatt, third-party owners, the corporation itself, and guests and colleagues with short-term and long-term disability and medical, adding value for the benefits team so they don't have to go to third parties for that insurance. [28:27] As the Captive President, Jennifer is looking at loss and expense ratios, reserve to operating ratios, surplus to premiums, and surplus to reserves, making sure that they're within the set ratios. They shoot for three to one. Anything above that number can go to participants. [29:09] They won't go below three to one so they are capitalized for future unexpected losses or to back up future business growth. Jennifer believes Hyatt is unique in having those ratios and guards in place. Jennifer is looking forward to future needs. [30:15] The captive evaluates from time to time whether to change the ratios to five to one or four to one. In the liability space, claims are growing. Some of the demands are wild and the settlements reached or not reached are eye-opening! [30:46] Jennifer explains the global risk management claims software that is now also used for incident reporting to the risk department. They look at data from all incidents and are seeing a trend and looking to what could come down the pike and new coverages they may need to offer. [31:44] The technology is supporting the department and overall risk management strategy. The captive is benefiting through better data on what's happening out there so they won't get blindsided by unusual trends that aren't yet seen in the claims. [32:19] Technology helps the captive to build out platforms to manage compliance, safety, and security in the environment. [32:28] The more data insights and comfort Jennifer has over the Health, Safety, and Security diagnostic at each property, region, and the globe, and overlays those with risk assessments Hyatt does, the more comfort she can get to take on more risks knowledgeably in the captive. [33:15] RIMS Plug! The first of hopefully many RIMS Texas Regional Conferences will be held in San Antonio from August 4th through the 6th, 2025. This groundbreaking event is set to unite the Texas RIMS Chapters and welcome risk management professionals from around the world. [33:34] Guess what, folks! Registration is now open!

[33:50] Let's Conclude Our Interview with RIMS 2025 Risk Manager of the Year, Jennifer Pack! [34:04] Jennifer Pack is the RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2025 and she has been such a wonderful guest. This episode is coming out the morning of the awards. We will see her onstage, for anyone who has the privilege of being there. [34:19] Jennifer is honored, excited, and a little nervous to be onstage at RISKWORLD for the award. A lot of the RIMS Chicago members will be there. Jennifer has a wonderful Chicago-based team that will be there. Jennifer's parents and her husband are coming. [36:26] Jennifer says moving up the ranks at Hyatt and RIMS Chicago has been a fun and wild ride! The growth in her career, switching from being a Public Accountant to Auditor to Risk Manager has been fun with a lot of learning. [36:54] Jennifer tries to lead and grow with optimism, fun, and humor. She's been able to grow and develop a team under her. It's been a really interesting 18-year adventure. [37:11] Once Jennifer was exposed to RIMS, it opened her eyes to the wealth of resources, friendship, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing. It's been such an excellent experience for her. She couldn't be prouder of the Chicago Chapter and the great things they do to develop talent.  [37:43] Jennifer says since COVID-19, it's been wonderful to see the number of people who attend the outings and forums. It's great to have such a great community and seeing them regularly is impactful. [38:06] Jennifer is Risk Manager of the Year. The Rising Star is Megan Smalter, who has had a wonderful time with the Chicago Chapter before moving to New York. In her role on the RIMS Chicago Chapter Board, and when she ran the Golf Outing, Jennifer has worked with Megan. [38:45] Julie Bean won the Heart of RIMS Award recently. Jennifer says it's great to have the bench of expertise of long-standing members in the Chicago Chapter. Jennifer learned from them personally and in professional settings. They're great for sharing ideas and working with. [39:36] Jennifer also mentioned Theresa Severson who was RIMS 2023 Risk Manager of the Year, with Kite Realty. There's a lot of talent and deep risk knowledge in the RIMS Chicago Chapter. There's a genuine camaraderie.  [40:30] Jennifer looks ahead to see companies leaning into the concept of full risk management philosophy. Risk management is so much more than just the insurance buyers. [40:45] Risk management is “How can we bring a risk management mindset to our enterprises? How can we be business enablers? How can we leverage the wealth of data and information that comes through our department to enable mindful growth in the business?” [41:05] It's “How can we help with ESG efforts, especially with the reporting? How can we mitigate risks to the company and not just to our financial tools of insurance? What can we do in loss prevention or mitigation?” [41:26] “What can we do in claims management with more expertise, as things heat up on the litigation side with social inflation and nuclear claims?” Jennifer sees Hyatt and other companies taking more risks in the captive's or balance sheet to offset what's happening.” [42:10] Risk managers are going to have to articulate that and bring solutions to the forefront of their companies. Jennifer is excited about the future. She's looking forward to launching and rolling out more technology solutions as Hyatt leverages all its data. [42:57] Jennifer knows her team can have a lot of positive impact on the organization and she's excited about it.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin and his guest, Kirti Mutatkar, discuss Kirti's journey to become President & CEO of UnitedAg and President of HCAA. Kirti speaks of her master's degrees in microbiology and finance, and how they work together in healthcare risk. Justin and Kirti explore stress awareness and mental health awareness and how these issues are managed at UnitedAg. Kirti tells how she wove attention to compassion and empathy into the fabric of healthcare administration at UnitedAg, and what that means for the financial success of the organization. She notes the significant growth of UnitedAg under her leadership, and how the scientific method of experimentation played a major role in that growth.   Kirti shares her advice for leading healthcare with compassion, and the roles supervisors and managers can play in looking for tell-tale signs of mental health needs. Listen to Kirti's leadership wisdom that may work in your organization. Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast. [:14] Registration is open for RISKWORLD 2025.

I wanted to get a fresh perspective through a risk management or risk-management-adjacent lens, which is why I reached out to today's guest. [3:49] Kirti Mutatkar is the President and CEO of UnitedAg in California and also the President, serving a two-year term, of the Health Care Administrators Association not for profit. [4:01] We will learn about her fascinating career journey and how leading with empathy has reduced turnover and retained value at UnitedAg. [4:10] Interview! Kirti Mutatkar, welcome to RIMScast!  [4:37] Kirti came to the U.S. to do her Master's when she was 20. She was going to study microbiology and do her PhD in genetics and biotech. Her circumstances changed and she explored getting an MBA. She got a Master's in finance. This was in Connecticut. [5:15] Kirti moved to California and looked for work. She applied at UnitedAg, to work for “a year or two.” Each year since then, UnitedAg has grown like crazy, with many innovations. Kirti has never felt that she has been there so long, she could do it in her sleep. [6:06] For Kirti, it's exciting every day to come to work. She was the CFO and transitioned  10 years ago to become the CEO. [6:25] Kirti was a member of HCAA for several years and is now President for a two-year term. The HCAA is very aligned with Kirti's thinking. She learns something with every conference she attends and every board meeting. [7:36] Kirti says, if everybody in the room feels it's their idea, and it's because of them we have succeeded, and you know you've played a role in that, that's success. [8:02] Kirti says a microbiologist, or any scientist, is constantly running experiments, and learning from experiments. Kirti says UnitedAg is a lab. HCAA is a lab. They're testing out things and trying to see what works and what does not work. [8:36] You understand the risks to the healthcare industry at a deeper level by doing experiments. You watch the results and you learn from them. You create feedback loops and grow. [8:53] Under Kirti's leadership, UnitedAg has tripled in size over the last couple of years, based on experimentation, learning, and adapting. That's what being a science student had taught her. [9:14] From the finance standpoint, in the position of impacting change, just looking at the financial statements and getting a quick picture of what's happening, was one of the best things Kirti could have done for herself in the role of CEO. [9:39] As a CEO, you have a strong CFO behind you. Understanding from a financial standpoint and a risk standpoint what that risk means to the financial, has been a big part of Kirti's success at UnitedAg. Her knowledge of science and finance works well for her organizations. [10:15] UnitedAg has around 110 employees. It has an underwriting department for its health plan. [10:45] Kirti believes her interest in the scientific method of testing hypotheses relating to the human side of risk and finance is what she brings to UnitedAg. [11:25] Kirti explains her upcoming plans for underwriting models for employer group risk and administrative costs. She is testing out opening the books, educating, and working with employer groups. [12:33] With Mental Health Awareness Month in May, Kirti discusses mental health in the agricultural community. She has been thinking of this since COVID-19. Ag workers did not have the choice of working from home. They were out in the fields. [13:15] There was a lot of uncertainty around what COVID-19 meant. In 2020, the need surfaced to provide some form of benefit for mental health. Culturally, in the ag industry, there is a stigma around mental health care. There is a lot of stress in production agriculture. [13:54] Kirti decided to run an experiment. She proposed to the board to use some of the innovation dollars set aside to offer a mental health benefit free of cost to all the members, with no copays and nothing going to the deductible, and doing it for one year. [14:28] It was a huge risk. They didn't look at the financial impact. They said, there's a need for mental health; let's do it for a year. They offered it and it became a huge impact. [14:56] A lot of people did seek out that benefit and used it. UnitedAg used Care Navigators to see what level of care a member's need was, and based on that need, provide that care. They found that some needed much care but more of the risk is in the early stages of need. [15:59] In the earlier stages, individuals may not realize they need care. Kirti stresses identifying the initial need for mental health care. Providing care initially can prevent chronic conditions. Not just for health plan cost, but from a human standpoint, you don't want that to go there. [16:33] UnitedAg spends a lot of time understanding mental health. Are you just having an anxious day today or are you having chronic anxiety? With the Chief Medical Officer, UnitedAg is spending time determining the tell-tale signs of anxiety to identify and help people with it. [16:59] Free access to mental health care, using Teladoc, Spring Health, other vendors, and the Member Advocacy Department at UnitedAg can be as simple as getting on a call and talking through anxiety, whether it's caused by environmental issues like flooding, or other stresses. [18:14] Kirti says UnitedAg is seeing anxiety around ICE deportations as labor is a big part of agriculture. There are a lot of people who come to work in the ag industry and then go back home. [18:39] Employees have anxiety over whether they will be there tomorrow. Employers have anxiety over whether they'll have access to labor tomorrow. [19:12] Uncertainty creates anxiety. The ups and downs of life create anxiety. [19:28] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! Zurich's webinar, “Understanding Third-Party Litigation Funding” will be held on May 1st at 1:00 p.m. Eastern.

For more information, and to register, please NewJersey.RIMS.org. [21:59] Let's Return to My Interview with Kirti Mutatkar! [22:07] Justin remarks on Kirti leading with compassion and empathy. Both at HCAA and as CEO of UnitedAg, she puts humans at the center. People remind her it's a business, but she has found that using compassion and empathy has an impact on real numbers. [23:26] Kirti reminds people she has a degree in finance and is a businessperson. UnitedAg has tripled in size. It is a quarter-billion-dollar trust. Its admin costs are very low and its loss ratio is very low. It's done very well financially. [23:53] Kirti makes a decision based on the financial aspect of it and then fits in the compassion and empathy. Eventually, compassion has a big impact on the financial. Now at HCAA, people are looking at how compassion translates into numbers. UnitedAg is a perfect example of it. [24:52] Some people may want to look at it purely from a business standpoint. Kirti feels that adding compassion and empathy manages the risk factor and has a financial impact. It's better for your business than you think it is. It's not a fluff word, you can show it in numbers. [25:52] Kirti is part of the Claims Committee at UnitedAg. Appeals come in and they make decisions on what can or cannot be approved. There is legal representation, client representation, and financial representation. Kirti shares an example of a mental health appeal. [26:41] The appeal was denied and Kirti listened to the compliance and financial positions for why it was denied. She didn't feel right about it, and after the meeting, she reached out to the employer. Then she came back to the committee and asked them to rethink it. [27:34] The committee found a solution within the compliance needs, to approve the claim. In the future, that employer will be apt to renew with UnitedAg because trust was created and help was provided to the employee. It was a financial decision that started with compassion. [29:16] UnitedAG's customer retention is over 90%. That speaks for itself. [29:26] RIMS Plug!

[30:46] Kirti says that bringing mental health into the Enterprise Risk Management strategy starts with the HR department. UnitedAg does a lot of training around mental health. There are good products available, but just saying we have this product, as a check mark, is not enough. [31:16] Go deeper, listen to your members, and train your supervisors and managers to identify some of the tell-tale signs of needs and bring them forward. Kirti's Chief of Staff remarked to her that physical scars can be seen, but mental scars cannot be shown. [31:49] You have to go deeper to understand mental scars. Spread the word. Talk to your employees and HR teams. Be OK with someone getting emotional at work. Give them a safe space and a trusting environment. Everybody goes through anxiety and stress. [32:20] Providing a safe space does more than providing a program. Engaging, building relationships, and having a connection would be helpful. [32:35] As a CEO, Kirti's biggest takeaway is to maintain a connection with everybody. She tries to do that as much as possible. She goes to CEO lunches and roundtables and is constantly talking to people. You never know what someone will say or do that is a tell-tale sign of need. [33:06] Kirti's advice for risk management professionals is to go a little deeper. Don't take things at face value. Take a step back and ask what is the true problem. Go one or two layers deeper looking for the real issues. Understanding the issue is good from a risk standpoint. [33:50] Are there not enough mental health professionals or should we look at the model for how we provide care for people? [34:10] Kirti also has a podcast, This Is Ag!, available on Spotify and other podcast platforms. She loves podcasting! The reason behind it is relationship and connection. It's to tell people what ag is all about. This year's focus will be on the ground workers and telling their stories. [34:58] There is so much to learn from agriculture! A lot of things still happen with a handshake in agriculture. There's a lot of trust and a lot of relationship and connection. Kirti loves working in the industry. She's very grateful for that. [35:14] Kirti tells what she likes about leading a not-for-profit organization. She runs it as a business but the core of it is the mission it serves. HCAA serves the underserved and she is testing how compassion and empathy play a role in the process. [35:44] Special thanks again to Health Care Administrators Association President and UnitedAg President and CEO, Kirti Mutatkar.

C dans l'air du 28 avril 2025 - Trump / Zelensky : ce qu'ils se sont dit...Vladimir Poutine a annoncé ce lundi un cessez-le-feu sur le front en Ukraine du 8 au 10 mai, à l'occasion des 80 ans de la victoire contre l'Allemagne nazie, tout en prévenant que Moscou répliquera "en cas de violation" par Kiev de cette trêve. "À partir de minuit entre le 7 et le 8 mai, et jusqu'à minuit entre le 10 et le 11 mai, la partie russe annonce un cessez-le-feu", a indiqué le Kremlin dans un communiqué. "En cas de violation du cessez-le-feu par la partie ukrainienne, les forces armées russes fourniront une réponse adéquate et efficace", a-t-il ajouté. Parallèlement, le chef de la diplomatie russe, Sergueï Lavrov, a posé, comme condition – à toute discussion – avec Kiev la reconnaissance par la communauté internationale de l'annexion russe de la Crimée et d'autres régions ukrainiennes. Ces déclarations surviennent au moment où les négociations sur l'Ukraine entrent dans une "semaine cruciale" selon Washington. La veille le président américain avait exhorté son homologue russe avec qui il a effectué un rapprochement spectaculaire depuis son retour à la Maison-Blanche, d'"arrêter de tirer". "Asseyez-vous et signez l'accord", avait déclaré dimanche soir Donald Trump sur le tarmac de l'aéroport de Morristown, à Bedminster, dans le New Jersey. Dans le même temps, Donald Trump avait estimé que Volodymyr Zelensky était prêt à céder sur le sujet de la Crimée, annexée illégalement par la Russie en 2014. "Je pense que oui. La Crimée, c'était il y a douze ans", a-t-il affirmé, en réponse à la question de savoir s'il pensait que Volodymyr Zelensky, avec qui il s'est entretenu samedi en marge des obsèques du pape François au Vatican, était prêt à "abandonner" ce territoire.Même si Kiev s'est jusqu'ici refusé à l'idée d'abandonner la péninsule et à faire des concessions territoriales, Washington continue à avancer cette possibilité comme prémices à un plan de paix avec Moscou, largement défavorable à Kiev. Dans une interview accordée au magazine Time, Donald Trump a également une fois de plus accusé Kiev d'avoir déclenché la guerre, citant ses ambitions de rejoindre l'Otan et indiquant : "La Crimée restera sous la domination de la Russie". Le plan de paix, selon les projets de l'administration américaine, comprendrait également un gel avec la ligne de front. Une nouvelle fois, Washington fait donc preuve d'un biais pro-Poutine flagrant, avec des arrière-pensées économiques puisque les États-Unis se disent prêts à lever les sanctions contre la Russie : à savoir reprendre le business. Côté russe, la Crimée représente le trophée que Vladimir Poutine voudrait pouvoir brandir le 9 mai prochain, pour le 80eme anniversaire de la victoire de l'Armée rouge dans la grande guerre patriotique. Inacceptable jusqu'à présent pour Kiev pour qui la Crimée est, comme pour Moscou, un enjeu aussi bien stratégique que symbolique. Alors le président des États-Unis qui souffle le chaud et le froid entend-il forcer la main de son homologue ukrainien ? Qu'en pensent les Européens ? Si l'Ukraine veut poursuivre la guerre sans le soutien américain, que fera l'Europe ? Enfin alors que la Corée du Nord a confirmé avoir envoyé des forces armées en Ukraine, avec pas moins de 14 000 soldats nord-coréens mais aussi des millions de munitions, quelle est la puissance militaire de l'armée de Kim Jong-un ? Que sait-on du déploiement des troupes nord-coréennes aux côtés des Russes ? Et quelle est la situation sur le front ?Nous avons rencontré des soldats ukrainiens qui reviennent du front.LES EXPERTS : - FRÉDÉRIC ENCEL - Docteur en géopolitique- Sciences Po Paris, auteur de La guerre mondiale n'aura pas lieu- JAMES ANDRÉ - Grand reporter - France 24- MARIE JÉGO - Journaliste spécialiste de la Russie - Le Monde - ALAIN PIROT - Journaliste spécialiste des questions de défense

Avistamentos misteriosos de OVNIs têm intrigado Nova Jersey desde novembro de 2024, com relatos próximos a locais sensíveis como bases militares e o campo de golfe de Donald Trump em Bedminster. Até agora, as autoridades dos EUA não confirmaram a origem ou operadores desses “drones”, que evitam detecção e operam de forma coordenada, levando a teorias que vão desde 'naves-mãe' iranianas a drones militares secretos em busca de bombas-sujas. Afinal, seria essa a previsão que Wernher von Braun teria feito sobre o plano final do complexo militar industrial; uma Psy-ops do governo Norte-Americano que alguns apelidaram de “Projeto Blue Beam?” Descubra neste episódio do Bunker X, com Affonso Solano, Afonso 3D e a Agente Especial Athena! ___________ Seja membro no YouTube e ganhe benefícios!

Mysterious drones have been spotted flying over New Jersey as early as November; now officials are demanding answers. So far these devices have flown over various areas of interest, like a military research center and President-elect Trump's golf club in Bedminster. The US military says they aren't behind the operation, and they are not sure who is. FOX News contributor and drone expert Brett Velicovich joins the Rundown to provide insight and share why the military should be more open about what is happening. President-elect Trump and Republicans are beginning preliminary talks on what his mass deportation plan will look like, as the Senate held a hearing this week on what to expect. While some believe this deportation plan will tamp down on crime, its critics have pointed out that mass deportations could be costly. Former acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and executive director for the America First Policy Institute, Chad Wolf joins the podcast to discuss the logistics of the President-elect's plan, what changes will be made compared to the Biden administration, and why he believes that cost will not be an issue.

Mystery drones have been spotted over key U.S. military facilities, as well as other sensitive locations including President-elect Donald Trump's Bedminster golf course. Reports say the drones are big, loud, and brightly lit, but often go dark as soon as they're seen. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) also relayed reports that swarms of the drones have been coming off the ocean, and he detailed communications with U.S. defense officials who said they don't have the authority to attack or bring down the drones. We'll discuss this topic and others, in this episode of Crossroads. Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.     ⭕️

Someone's lying about the SUV-sized drones flying by the dozens over New Jersey, suspiciously close to President Trump's Bedminster home. The Pentagon assures us it's no big deal, but the FBI admits it knows nothing, and likely won't care to. Senator Todd Young is rumored to be waffling on Pete Hegseth's confirmation as MAGA pivots from Joni Ernst to the Indiana senator. The closer we get to January 20, the more the Deep State will scramble. 

Tercer Milenio 360 Internacional - 11/12/24 Nueva audiencia en el Congreso de los Estados Unidos ante la ola de avistamientos de fenómenos anómalos, principalmente en Nueva Jersey, donde la policía asegura que los aparatos sobrevuelas sitios estratégicos, como el Centro de Investigación Militar Picatinny y el campo de golf Bedminster de Donald Trump. Benjamin Netanyahu, comparece y testifica en el juicio que enfrenta por corrupción, fraude, abuso de confianza y sobornos. Califica de absurdas las acusaciones y se dice víctima. Testigos muestran las evidencias de los Objetos Voladores No identificados que han sido vistos en las distintas zonas de Nueva Jersey en Estados Unidos.

Mysterious drones have been spotted flying over New Jersey as early as November; now officials are demanding answers. So far these devices have flown over various areas of interest, like a military research center and President-elect Trump's golf club in Bedminster. The US military says they aren't behind the operation, and they are not sure who is. FOX News contributor and drone expert Brett Velicovich joins the Rundown to provide insight and share why the military should be more open about what is happening. President-elect Trump and Republicans are beginning preliminary talks on what his mass deportation plan will look like, as the Senate held a hearing this week on what to expect. While some believe this deportation plan will tamp down on crime, its critics have pointed out that mass deportations could be costly. Former acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and executive director for the America First Policy Institute, Chad Wolf joins the podcast to discuss the logistics of the President-elect's plan, what changes will be made compared to the Biden administration, and why he believes that cost will not be an issue. Plus, commentary from FOX News contributor Joe Concha. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/04/2024): 3:05pm- According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, president-elect Donald Trump is considering replacing his Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), or former Pentagon official Elbridge Colby. On Wednesday, Hegseth spoke with the press on Capitol Hill and revealed that Trump encouraged him to keep fighting during a conversation earlier in the day. 3:15pm- Though no Republican Senator has publicly opposed Pete Hegseth's nomination to Secretary of Defense, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) revealed that he believes the allegations against the Fox News host are “disturbing.” 3:20pm- Rich argues that Republicans need to support Donald Trump's cabinet appointments—as this might be America's best chance to combat a massive, overreaching federal government. 3:30pm- In a statement on Truth Social, Donald Trump requested that Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley remain in his position following the party's big Election Day wins. 3:40pm- Police Hunt for Gunman Who Killed UnitedHealthcare CEO: Chelsia Rose Marcius and Maria Cramer of The New York Times report: “A furious manhunt was underway in Manhattan after the head of one of the nation's largest health insurers was gunned down on Wednesday morning in what the police called a ‘brazen targeted attack.' A gunman lay in wait for the executive outside a hotel in Midtown, the heart of the city's business and tourist districts, and opened fire before fleeing into Central Park, according to investigators. Surveillance video obtained by The New York Times showed the gunman walking up behind the executive, Brian Thompson, as he approached the New York Hilton Midtown around 6:45 a.m. The gunman fires on Mr. Thompson, who stumbles and manages to turn toward his assailant. Investigators said the pistol jammed during the shooting, but the assailant quickly cleared the jam and resumed firing.” You can read more on this developing story here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12/04/nyregion/brian-thompson-uhc-ceo-shot/shooting-midtown-nyc-united-healthcare-brian-thompson?smid=url-share 3:50pm- On Wednesday, the United States Supreme Court heard oral argument for U.S. vs Skrmetti—a case which centers around the legality of Tennessee's prohibition of “gender affirming care” for minors. During one exchange with Tennessee Solicitor General Matthew Rice, Justice Sonya Sotomayor bizarrely compared irreversible gender transition surgeries to side effects from taking an aspirin. Another notable moment featured Justice Sam Alito highlighting that there is no evidence that “gender affirmative treatments” reduce suicide—dismantling the argument that gender transition surgeries for minors amounts to life saving care. 4:00pm- Sarah Parshall Perry—Senior Legal Fellow for the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss oral argument in the Supreme Court case U.S. v. Skrmetti which will determine the legality of Tennessee's prohibition on “gender affirming care” for minors. 4:30pm- Mysterious Drones Near Trump's NJ Golf Course. Chris Nesi of The New York Post reports: “The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into a series of mysterious drone sightings over Central New Jersey in recent weeks, not far from President-elect Donald Trump's Bedminster golf course. Federal aviation officials have shut down the airspace over the private club as well as a nearby army facility after several residents reported seeing suspicious drones flying overhead in the past two weeks.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/12/03/us-news/suspicious-drone-activity-near-trumps-nj-golf-course-prompts-fbi-investigation-faa-airspace-restrictions/ 4:40pm- On Tuesday night, ballot counting concluded in California's 13th Congressional District with Democrat Adam Gray defeating current Congressma ...

Republicans will hold a 220 to 215 seat majority in the House of Representatives—though with Matt Gaetz's resignation and Elise Stefanik and Michael Waltz presumably leaving for cabinet positions, Republicans will have a slim two seat advantage until those vacancies are filled in early April.

Joe Sudbay is in for John once again. He talks about Trump's ever changing stance on abortion and the Tim Walz & Kamala Harris interview on CNN. Then, he chats with political strategist Max Burns on the Trump train running out of steam and how Kamala is leading in America's housing crisis. Next, Joe interviews journalist Joan McCarter on Gwen Walz responding to JD Vance, Trump's comments on abortion, and the Comstock Act. And finally, he take calls from Charles in California on Trump reaching new lows and making sure Kamala wins in 2024 and also Manesh in New Jersey on the upcoming Kamala/Trump debate and people trolling Trump on billboards in Bedminster.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey, it's the day after Labor Day, and you know what that means! For one, it means that it's Tuesday, which means that not only is David Waldman back live, but so is Joan McCarter! Also, it's the day that millions across the nation awake in the morning, craw out of their burrows, see their shadows, and realize the need to figure out who they will vote for. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have already risen to the challenge, while Donald Trump and JD Vance extended their weekend. By the way, Snopes states that no one has yet verified that the specimen jars carried by Trump supporters contained “fake” JD Vance semen… I guess they need local couch cushions for a match? That awkwardly segues us into Trump's promise to make government socialistically provide IVF treatments for gay couples and single cat ladies. Good for him! Although Donald might not have considered how his stance might affect IUI families, and the sensibilities of his Vice President, or even his previous Vice President. Meanwhile, the Harris-Walz team heads to Florida with a clearer stance. September also is the beginning of Congress's legislative sprint, although there really wasn't anything keeping them from starting earlier. House Gops now have only a few weeks left to impeach Joe Biden.  If you had time set aside to head to Bedminster to attend the gala in honor of January 6th rioters, or have your photo taken giving a thumbs up standing on Donald Trump's freshly dug grave, you will be disappointed as both events have been again postponed. Public school teachers, already overworked and underpaid, are now expected to perform surprise sex change operations on their students.

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': The real work begins. After a rollicking, joyful, and deeply patriotic Democratic Convention, Presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, prepare to hit road in the key battleground state of Georgia. My biggest takeaway from the DNC: Democrats reclaiming the flag.  Also, cancel the vote! In battleground Georgia, there's now an online portal that could allow someone to cancel someone else's voter registration without their knowledge.  What voting rights activists are asking the DOJ to do about it. And, turn down for what? Music Editor Danyel Smith explains how the Democrats put the party in party politics with a convention roll call for the ages. I'll look at the power of music and pop culture that pumped up the Harris-Walz campaign. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

Donald Trump decided to call a press conference at his exclusive, pricey Bedminster golf club in New Jersey to discuss his economic policies and to convince everyone that he understands the financial challenges of everyday Americans.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2 & 3: 4:05pm- Ukrainian President Zelensky Ordered Nord Stream Destruction: Bojan Pancevski, The Wall Street Journal's Chief European Political Correspondent, reports: “in the small hours of Sept. 26, Scandinavian seismologists picked up signals indicating an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption hundreds of miles away, near the Danish island of Bornholm. They were caused by three powerful explosions and the largest-ever recorded release of natural gas, equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of Denmark. One of the most audacious acts of sabotage in modern history, the operation worsened an energy crisis in Europe—an assault on critical infrastructure that could be considered an act of war under international law. Theories swirled about who was responsible. Was it the CIA? Could Putin himself have set the plan in motion? Now, for the first time, the outlines of the real story can be told…Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky initially approved the plan, according to one officer who participated and three people familiar with it. But later, when the CIA learned of it and asked the Ukrainian president to pull the plug, he ordered a halt, those people said. Zelensky's commander in chief, Valeriy Zaluzhniy, who was leading the effort, nonetheless forged ahead.” You can read the full report here: https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-real-story-da24839c?mod=hp_lead_pos7 4:30pm- Is Kamala's Sudden Uptick in Favorability Permanent? Not Likely: Steven Shepard of Politico writes: “Voters are seeing Harris in a new light since she became Democrats' presidential candidate. Throughout the past three years, there's been a wide gulf between the number of voters who had a favorable opinion of the vice president, and the significantly larger share who viewed her unfavorably...That doesn't mean it will last, though: Trump's campaign has started an advertising barrage in battleground states, trying to paint her as “dangerously liberal.” That could dent her favorable ratings, especially as scrutiny of her record ratchets up following her initial campaign rollout. ‘With Kamala Harris, it's like ‘A Star is Born,' said Mark Mellman, the lead pollster for then-Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in the 2004 presidential race. ‘It's not unreal. It's not unnatural. It's not fake. But it's not necessarily permanent. I can certainly imagine a situation where both candidates' favorabilities decline a little bit.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/14/kamala-harris-polls-donald-trump-00174050 5:00pm- On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey. During his address, he accused Kamala Harris of adopting a “Maduro plan” for her economic platform—referencing Venezuela's socialist authoritarian leader Nicolas Maduro.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/15/2024): 3:05pm- On Thursday, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris held a joint event in Prince George's County, Maryland. During his speech, Biden mockingly referred to Donald Trump as “Donald Dump.” 3:10pm- In a recent interview with The Washington Post, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was quoted as telling Republicans: “We're out to get you, you're dead.” The outlandish rhetoric comes one month after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was nearly assassinated while speaking in Butler, PA. You can read the article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/10/nancy-pelosi-memoir-trump/ 3:15pm- While appearing on Fox News with Bill Hemmer, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard argued that the mainstream media is ostensibly collaborating with Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris—ignoring the drastic changes in her historically far-left policy preferences and allowing her to inaccurately masquerade as a “moderate.” In the past, Harris has supported: a ban on fracking, abolishing ICE, government-imposed limitations on red meat consumption, and ending private health insurance. Will the media hold Harris accountable prior to the start of early voting in mid-September? 3:25pm- Harris Campaign Caught Altering Headlines: White House Correspondent for The Daily Caller Reagan Reese writes, “Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has been caught editing various outlets' headlines to appear in Americans' Google searches as sponsored ads, according to an Axios report. Over the last ten days, the Harris campaign has edited the headlines and descriptions of almost a dozen outlets' articles found through Google search advertisements to appear as search ads from the Harris campaign, according to Axios. Several of those outlets, including CNN, USA Today and NPR, told the outlet they were not aware that their articles were being manipulated for Harris campaign ads.” You can read the full article here: https://dailycaller.com/2024/08/13/kamala-harris-campaign-fake-headlines-google-searches-american-voters-npr-cnn/ 3:30pm- Kamala's Economic Message is Purposefully Light on Detail: Jim Tankersley and Andrew Duehren of The New York Times write, “Vice President Kamala Harris's sudden ascent to the top of the Democratic ticket has generated a host of questions about her economic agenda, including how much she will stick to the details of President Biden's positions, tweak them, or chart entirely new ones. When she begins to roll out her policy vision this week, Ms. Harris is likely to answer only some of those questions. During an economy-focused speech on Friday in Raleigh, N.C., Ms. Harris will outline a sort of reboot of the administration's economic agenda, according to four people familiar with Ms. Harris's plans. She will lay out an approach relatively light on details, they said.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/14/us/politics/kamala-harris-economy-north-carolina.html 3:40pm- Alfredo Ortiz—President and CEO of Job Creators Network—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for The Daily Caller, “Kamala Harris is a Threat to Entry-Level Jobs.”  You can read the full article here: https://dailycaller.com/2024/08/02/opinion-kamala-harris-threat-entry-level-jobs-alfredo-ortiz/ 4:05pm- Ukrainian President Zelensky Ordered Nord Stream Destruction: Bojan Pancevski, The Wall Street Journal's Chief European Political Correspondent, reports: “in the small hours of Sept. 26, Scandinavian seismologists picked up signals indicating an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption hundreds of miles away, near the Danish island of Bornholm. They were caused by three powerful explosions and the largest-ever recorded release of natural gas, equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of Denmark. One of the most audacious acts of sabotage in modern history, the operation worsened an energy crisis in Europe—an assault on critical infrastructure that could be considered an act of war under international law. Theories swirled about who was responsible. Was it the CIA? Could Putin himself have set the plan in motion? Now, for the first time, the outlines of the real story can be told…Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky initially approved the plan, according to one officer who participated and three people familiar with it. But later, when the CIA learned of it and asked the Ukrainian president to pull the plug, he ordered a halt, those people said. Zelensky's commander in chief, Valeriy Zaluzhniy, who was leading the effort, nonetheless forged ahead.” You can read the full report here: https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-real-story-da24839c?mod=hp_lead_pos7 4:30pm- Is Kamala's Sudden Uptick in Favorability Permanent? Not Likely: Steven Shepard of Politico writes: “Voters are seeing Harris in a new light since she became Democrats' presidential candidate. Throughout the past three years, there's been a wide gulf between the number of voters who had a favorable opinion of the vice president, and the significantly larger share who viewed her unfavorably...That doesn't mean it will last, though: Trump's campaign has started an advertising barrage in battleground states, trying to paint her as “dangerously liberal.” That could dent her favorable ratings, especially as scrutiny of her record ratchets up following her initial campaign rollout. ‘With Kamala Harris, it's like ‘A Star is Born,' said Mark Mellman, the lead pollster for then-Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in the 2004 presidential race. ‘It's not unreal. It's not unnatural. It's not fake. But it's not necessarily permanent. I can certainly imagine a situation where both candidates' favorabilities decline a little bit.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/14/kamala-harris-polls-donald-trump-00174050 5:00pm- On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey. During his address, he accused Kamala Harris of adopting a “Maduro plan” for her economic platform—referencing Venezuela's socialist authoritarian leader Nicolas Maduro.

Trump just lost his liquor licenses at both Bedminster and all NJ golf clubs because he is a felon convicted of crimes of “moral turpitude” and his attempt to transfer the license in the name of Don Jr failed as well. Michael Popok of Legal AF explains how this could lead to the forced sale of the clubs if Trump fails in his effort to get his NY convictions overturned.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/11/2024): 3:05pm- A jury in Wilmington, Delaware has found Hunter Biden guilty on three felony charges related to lying on a background-check he submitted when acquiring a firearm in October of 2018. According to reports, the president's son could face up to 25-years in prison and a fine up to $750,000. Could President Joe Biden pardon his son—and would that potentially impact his status as the Democrat Party's 2024 presidential nominee? 3:30pm- In a new article for Politico, Ben Schreckinger documents the numerous connections between Joe Biden aides and the Biden family's business. He writes: “For years, Joe Biden shared a bookkeeper with his son, Hunter. He also shared a personal lawyer with his brother, Jim. And when Jim Biden wanted to know more about one of Hunter Biden's associates, he hired the former head of Joe Biden's Secret Service detail to investigate. Since 2019, Joe Biden has repeatedly distanced himself from his family's business dealings, saying that he has never so much as discussed them with his relatives or with anyone else. But House impeachment inquiry interviews, public records and emails reviewed by POLITICO show that members of his inner circle were regularly enmeshed in those dealings: Many of the president's closest staffers and advisers have doubled as his relatives' business associates, both during and after their stints working for the man at the center of the Biden family orbit.” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/08/joe-biden-aides-family-business-dealings-00161476 3:40pm- In reaction to President Joe Biden's abysmal approval ratings, statistician Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight suggested that it might be in the Democrat Party's best interest to replace Biden as their 2024 presidential candidate. According to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Biden now trails Donald Trump in all seven key swing states and is only up 2-points in Democrat strongholds like Minnesota and Virginia. 4:05pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap the European Parliament elections which saw right-leaning parties perform particularly well. The results led to French President Emmanuel Macron calling for a snap legislative election. Plus, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has stated that there should be a universal ban on fossil fuel advertisements in order to protect “green energy” from criticism. Dr. Coates is the author of: “David's Sling: A History of Democracy in Ten Works of Art.” You can find her book here: https://www.amazon.com/Davids-Sling-History-Democracy-Works/dp/1594037213. 4:30pm- Caroline Sunshine—Deputy Director of Communications for the 2024 Trump Campaign—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a jury in Wilmington, Delaware finding Hunter Biden guilty on three felony charges related to the purchase of a firearm in October of 2018. Plus, Sunshine reacts to polling previewing the 2024 presidential election, as well as President Biden's backwards economic policies. She jokes: “Joe Biden is a few French fries short of a Happy Meal.” 4:50pm- Rich reveals that he never got to select his own show's theme tune. Matt nearly gets fired when he suggests it should be changed to “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham! He played the song yesterday and was endlessly yelled at by both Rich and the audience… 5:05pm- A jury in Wilmington, Delaware has found Hunter Biden guilty on three felony charges related to lying on a background-check he submitted when acquiring a firearm in October of 2018. According to reports, the president's son could face up to 25-years in prison and a fine up to $750,000. Could President Joe Biden pardon his son—and would that potentially impact his status as the Democrat Party's 2024 presidential nominee? 5:10pm- Prior to the 2020 presidential election, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, along with other high-ranking members of the intelligence community, signed a letter dismissing The New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation. The laptop has since been confirmed as being authentic—but Clapper recently stated he does not regret his decision. 5:15pm- While appearing on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, CBS News poll director Anthony Salvanto revealed that 62% of registered voters support the deportation of migrants living in the United States unlawfully. 5:20pm- Listeners react: Could the Democrat Party actually consider replacing Joe Biden at the top of their 2024 ticket? 5:40pm- According to report from Adam Reiss and Dareh Gregorian of NBC News: “The New Jersey attorney general's office is investigating the eligibility of the liquor licenses of three Trump-owned golf courses in the state following former President Donald Trump's conviction on felony charges in New York, officials confirmed Tuesday. The three properties under review by New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, which is a part of the AG's office, include Bedminster, Pine Hill and Colts Neck.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/new-jersey-attorney-general-reviewing-trump-golf-liquor-licenses-rcna156550 5:50pm- Speaking at a gun violence prevention conference in Washington, D.C., President Joe Biden insisted that Americans don't need guns to protect themselves from the government—because the government could simply use an F-15 fighter jet to target people. Well, that makes me feel safe… 6:05pm- Prior to his interview with a House of Representatives Subcommittee investigating the government's response to COVID-19, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo defended his actions during the pandemic—specifically his decision to send sick patients back to nursing homes. 6:15pm- During a campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, former President Donald Trump posed a hilarious hypothetical question to his audience: Would you rather be electrocuted or eaten by a shark? 6:20pm- In newly released footage from January 6th,  2021, then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) can be heard saying: “I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more,” referring to the National Guard. The video was shot by Pelosi's daughter Alexandra and provided to Congressional investigators via HBO. 6:25pm- While appearing on Fox News with Jesse Waters, billionaire David Sacks noted that Silicon Valley is suddenly backing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Although the California-based technology sector has historically been progressive in political ideology, Sacks says he believes people are starting to realize that Trump's policies benefit them. 6:30pm- A jury in Wilmington, Delaware has found Hunter Biden guilty on three felony charges related to lying on a background-check he submitted when acquiring a firearm in October of 2018. According to reports, the president's son could face up to 25-years in prison and a fine up to $750,000. Following the trial, Juror #10 spoke with CNN—explaining that he never considered that Hunter was the son of the president of the United States. 6:40pm- When asked about the Hunter Biden trial during an interview with Dana Bash on CNN, Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) claimed that her internet connection dropped and could not continue the conversation…perfect timing! 6:50pm- A progressive journalist secretly recorded a conversation she had with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. At one point Justice Alito agrees that the country is polarized and that it should return to a place of godliness. How is anything he said controversial? The left is, of course, losing its mind.
