Mike Lomas, Glenn Wiggle, and Mike Hoeflich tear into the dangerous rise of collectivism, using New York City and Venezuela as real-time warnings of what happens when private property rights disappear. From government seizures and housing “shared equity” schemes to the collapse of middle-class opportunity, the guys break down how socialist ideology drives out producers, empowers corruption, and destroys nations. They also dive into Venezuela's political collapse, media hypocrisy, Trump's foreign policy doctrine, and why asserting American interests matters more than ever.

Prince Harry may be edging closer to a royal reunion after a legal win restoring police protection during UK visits, while across the Atlantic Mickey Rourke was spotted decamping to a $550-a-night West Hollywood hotel after crowd-funding to avoid eviction. And in Hollywood’s most jaw-dropping moment of the week, Cher stunned listeners by telling Dax Shepard on his own podcast that wife Kristen Bell “could do better” — then laughing it off with, “I trust her.

Conservatives and MAGA types may be applauding President Donald Trump's work to secure the border, fight off Venezuela threats, defend America from globalists and leftists and Marxists from within — but along with Democrats, who are infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome, are libertarians who criticize this administration for failing to uphold what they say are key constitutional issues. Steven Nekhaila, chairman of the Libertarian National Committee, gives Trump a grade of "D" — on a good day.

Mark Cuban approaches healthcare the same way he approaches every industry he enters: by assuming something essential is missing and then asking who benefits from keeping it that way. In American medicine, he believes that missing ingredient is transparency. Not better messaging, not smarter incentives, but simple visibility into how prices are set, who gets paid and who gets taken advantage of. Cuban is a lifelong healthcare outsider. He is a billionaire entrepreneur, NBA championship team owner and longtime Shark Tank investor. That's what makes him the perfect guest for Season 11 of Fixing Healthcare with cohosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. This season's guests have massive online audiences, but their value isn't just reach. It's their ability to listen closely to what millions of patients are experiencing, then translate those insights back into the broader medical conversation. Few guests embody that better than Cuban. He has quickly become one of the system's most incisive critics by paying attention to what patients, employers and clinicians repeatedly say is broken. That mindset led to the creation of Cost Plus Drugs, a pharmacy built on an idea that sounds radical only because healthcare has drifted so far from it. Show patients the actual cost of a medication, add a flat 15% markup and eliminate the opaque middlemen who thrive in the dark. In this conversation, Cuban explains how a cold email from a physician opened his eyes to how hidden pharmaceutical pricing had become and why opacity itself became the opportunity. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE INTERVIEW Why drug prices are detached from reality. Cuban breaks down how widely used medications, including GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars per month despite far lower manufacturing costs. The driver, he argues, is not innovation or scarcity, but a system dominated by pharmacy benefit managers whose rebate structures reward insurers and intermediaries while excluding patients. How patients bear the greatest financial harm. With concrete examples, Cuban explains how people in deductible phases, especially those on ACA plans, often pay full retail prices while rebates flow elsewhere. Costs are spread across millions of plan holders, but the financial pain lands on the people who actually need care. Why healthcare's complexity is intentional. From fax machines to prior authorization delays, Cuban argues that administrative friction is not accidental. It protects incumbents, drains clinician time and forces providers into the role of “subprime lenders,” all while patients struggle to navigate a system designed to obscure accountability. What he tells CEOs behind closed doors. Cuban outlines the first questions he asks corporate leaders about their pharmacy benefits, why most are not receiving the rebates they believe they are and how audits are often structured to reveal as little as possible. Transparency, he says, is the first step toward leverage. A blueprint beyond pharmaceuticals. The discussion extends into hospitals, insurance design and employer-based coverage, including Cuban's work on cost-plus wellness contracts that publish negotiated rates so others can replicate them. His goal is not dominance. It is forcing the system to respond by making its incentives visible. Throughout the episode, Cuban's message is blunt and consistent. Healthcare does not need more jargon, better marketing or marginal tweaks. It needs sunlight. Once pricing, incentives and risk are exposed, many of the system's most entrenched practices become much harder to justify. * * * Fixing Healthcare is a co-production of Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. Subscribe to the show via Apple, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you find podcasts.

 COLD WAR RISE AND POLITICAL FALL Colleague James M. Scott. After the war, LeMay rose to lead the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and became Air Force Chief of Staff. However, his blunt, non-political nature caused friction with figures like Robert McNamara and JFK during the Cold War. He infamously suggested bombing Vietnam"back to the stone age," echoing his approach to Japan. In his 1965 autobiography, he expressed no regret for the firebombing, viewing it as necessary to end the war. His reputation suffered permanently after he ran as vice president on George Wallace's segregationist ticket in 1968. NUMBER 8 1945 OKINAWA

Looking for a cozy-but-creepy Christmas horror movie to watch while the snow piles up outside? On this episode of Cutting Deep into Horror, hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi dig into Wind Chill (2007), a snowbound Christmas ghost story directed by Gregory Jacobs and starring Emily Blunt and Ashton Holmes. Set the day before Christmas Eve on an icy Pennsylvania back road, Wind Chill strands two college students in a broken-down car, trapped in a supernatural time loop with vengeful ghosts, a corrupt highway patrolman, and deadly subzero wind chills that feel all too real.Henrique and Rachael break down why winter horror hits so hard, from the primal fear of being stuck in the cold to the way snow turns a lonely road into a coffin made of ice. They unpack the film's themes of trauma, vulnerability, and bad choices, exploring how a simple ride share home for the holidays becomes a story about boundaries, obsession, and the ghosts—literal and emotional—that won't stay buried.You'll hear why Wind Chill has become one of Henrique's go-to cold-weather watches, how Emily Blunt's performance hints at the superstar she'd become, and why Christmas ghost stories feel like the perfect counter-programming to warm, cozy holiday specials.

It's a perfect listen if you love Christmas-set horror, snowbound thrillers, or underrated 2000s genre gems that deserved more love than their modest box office runs suggest.Inside this episode:Christmas road-trip horror: Why a simple rideshare home for the holidays is the perfect setup for a chilly Christmas ghost story and how Wind Chill uses a lonely back road to trap its characters in a supernatural bubble.Trauma, boundaries, and vulnerability: How the Girl and the Guy's messy emotional lives are just as dangerous as the crash, and why the movie hits differently if you've ever dealt with parasocial crushes, people-pleasing, or anxiety.Emily Blunt before blockbuster fame: A look at how Wind Chill showcases Blunt's range early on, and why this under-the-radar Christmas horror is a must-watch for her fans.Ghost stories at Christmas: The long tradition of telling Christmas ghost stories and where Wind Chill fits alongside other wintry horror staples the hosts love to revisit each year.The terror of real cold: Henrique's firsthand stories of working in savage wind chills and how that lived experience makes Wind Chill's frozen setting feel even more nightmarish.Loops, ghosts, and eternal recurrence: What Wind Chill is really saying about being stuck in the same patterns, and how the film's time loop and ghosts of 1953 tie into ideas of fate, choice, and escape.So grab a blanket, pour a hot drink, and queue up Wind Chill—then join Henrique and Rachael as they cut deep into holiday horror, one icy back road at a time.Where to watch Wind Chill (U.S.)Currently, Wind Chill (availability can change, so always double-check):Netflix — https://www.netflix.com/title/70053467The Roku Channel (free with ads) — https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/632ad3e4a9ba5a70b27d78ae75f1fe91/wind-chillTubi (free with ads) — https://tubitv.com/movies/695641/wind-chillAmazon Video (rent/buy) — https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B000W0C1M8Fandango at Home / Vudu (rent/buy) — https://athome.fandango.com/content/browse/details/Wind-Chill/128803

Jon Herold returns from Thanksgiving with a light news day but plenty of sharp commentary as he recaps hosting family, cooking with the ChefIQ, and catching up on Stranger Things before diving into Trump's fiery Thanksgiving message—complete with Trump's unapologetic takedown of Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz, mass immigration, and the costs of supporting millions of non-citizens. Jon highlights Trump's vow to permanently pause migration from third-world countries, eliminate benefits for non-citizens, and potentially end income tax altogether. He then turns to Ukraine, covering the major resignation of Zelensky's top aide and peace negotiator following an anti-corruption raid, questioning how corruption could possibly be “cleaned up” when every associate around Zelensky keeps falling. Jon digs back into the Emerald Robinson controversy, calling parts of the narrative contradictory and illogical, and discusses why certain election-fraud claims feel like deliberate misdirection. He closes with audience Q&A on Ratcliffe, devolution, irregular warfare, narrative control, silver prices, family updates, and why Trump's critics underestimate him at their own peril, before signing off for family photos and raiding Ghost's show.

In this fiery episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold opens up about the growing tension inside the MAGA movement, the pitfalls of blind trust, and why honest criticism is essential, not betrayal. From Trump's missteps to the Senate's shocking self-enrichment scheme, Jon challenges the audience to stop waiting for someone else to fix the country and start taking real local action. He breaks down the myth of the “normie echo chamber,” frustrations with government inertia, and the danger of excusing bad behavior from elected officials. The conversation hits everything from the Antifa terrorist designation to the shutdown's empty promises, the election system, homeschooling, bad narratives, and how community organizing may be the key to real change. Blunt, humorous, and raw, Jon delivers a call to action: stop worshiping politicians, embrace friction, get involved, and help shape America's future from the ground up.

In this episode, psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Eric Strobl joins Dr. Vaish Sarathy to talk about a new re-analysis of the SOARS-B trial on oxytocin and autism.   While earlier studies found no clear benefit, Dr. Strobl's fine-grained, item-level analysis using machine learning uncovered consistent evidence that oxytocin can enhance social-emotional reciprocity the ability to engage, connect, and respond in social contexts. Together, they discuss: Why most autism drug trials fail to show benefit What "blunt outcome measures" really mean in clinical research How machine learning can extract signal from noise in complex data What oxytocin actually does (and doesn't do) in real life How future studies could use more nuanced, individualized measures   Resources and Links Mentioned Study Discussed: Strobl E et al. (2024). "Item-Level Analysis Reveals Oxytocin Improves Social-Emotional Reciprocity in Autism Spectrum Disorder." Preprint Original SOARS-B Trial: Parker KJ et al. (2017). "A Randomized Clinical Trial of Oxytocin in Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder." Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA Psychiatry) Link   Related Reading:   Oxytocin and Social Behavior On machine learning in psychiatry: Nature – Machine learning in mental health research   Key Takeaways Oxytocin may help but not for everyone. Its most reliable effect seems to be reducing social anxiety and improving comfort in social exchanges.   Measurement matters. "Blunt" outcome scales can bury meaningful results under noise. Item-level, data-driven analysis reveals nuance traditional methods miss.   Autism heterogeneity is real. The same outward behavior can stem from different root causes - so future trials need precision tools, not averages.   Hope through better science. New methods aren't about hype—they're about accuracy, compassion, and smarter research design.   About Dr. Eric Strobl Dr. Strobl is a psychiatrist and data scientist at the University of Pittsburgh who develops innovative machine-learning algorithms to uncover hidden structure in medical data. His current work focuses on autism, neurodevelopmental conditions, and the use of AI to improve clinical trial design.     About Dr. Vaish Sarathy Dr. Vaish Sarathy is a TEDx speaker, PhD chemist, educator, and mom to a non-speaking autistic teen poet with Down syndrome. She hosts the Non Linear Learning podcast and leads the Non Linear Education course for parents and educators who believe that every brain can learn, given the right way to teach.     Stay Connected Instagram: @drvaishsarathy Free Guide: Turn ON Your Child's Learning Switch Join the Non Linear Education Waitlist: Get on the list here →
