Today is Juneteenth, and we're bringing you special programming all day long to honor the holiday and reflect on its meaning. Don sits down with media mogul, producer, comedian, and philanthropist Byron Allen for a powerful conversation about the legacy of slavery, the economic systems that have perpetuated inequality, and why Juneteenth remains as important as ever. They also discuss the power of media ownership and why it's essential for Black communities to tell their own stories rather than allowing others to define their image.

Tonight, Don sits down with Brian Tyler Cohen to discuss the White House's so-called "media offenders" list, a blatant attempt to intimidate and discredit independent journalism. Brian is on the list himself, but he says the effort may have an unintended consequence: boosting the very voices the administration is trying to silence.

This morning, we're breaking down Trump's bizarre UFC birthday celebration on the White House lawn. Is this the People's House or a reality pay-per-view event?

【主播的话】今年五月，我去了一趟奥马哈，参加了一年一度的巴菲特股东大会。作为一个平日里并不算关注投资的人，去参会纯粹是记者的好奇心作祟：我想看看，这个每年让几万人专程飞来朝圣的地方，究竟供着什么“神”？现场的第一印象，像是一个巨大的县城大卖场，人声鼎沸，摩肩接踵，中国投资者组团涌入，对着一个九十多岁的老人的照片虔诚地举起手机。那种氛围也让人深思：他们在这里寻找的，究竟是财富密码，还是某种更难言说的确定感？也是在那里，我第一次真正开始思考，投资这件事和我们的生活到底是什么关系。带着这个问题，我回到了纽约，找到了大卫翁。他是知名财经博客《起朱楼宴宾客》的主播，还刚刚出版了一本叫做《资产配置行动指南》的书。他有一份让旁人羡慕的履历——西安交大少年班，LSE硕士，拥有逾20年金融行业经验，曾任头部中资投行董事总经理、国家外汇储备管理机构高管等。离开机构之后，他创办了播客、也在公号写作，把复杂的金融知识和资产配置理念掰开揉碎，重新调配成普通人能消化的东西。我们这期的对话，也并不是一堂理财课。我们想探讨的是：一个人可以怎么使用资产配置的眼光重新丈量自己的人生规划？选择丁克、退出系统、裸辞、养老，这些正在成为越来越多人真实选项的时刻。在中国，房地产的旧神话已经散场，AI正在悄悄拉开新的贫富裂缝，在这个锚点纷纷失效的年代，钱的问题从来都不只是钱的问题。大卫翁在录制快结束时说了一句话，我觉得可以当作这期节目的注脚：投资的最终目的，应该服务于你自己的生活。在一个把财富增值当作人生目标本身来贩卖的时代，我们或许需要一点逆流而行的清醒。【本期主播】王磬：微博@王磬【本期嘉宾】大卫翁：《起朱楼宴宾客》主播，著有《资产配置行动指南》【本期剧透】00:09 投资最重要的不是行动指南，而是一本心态修炼手册04:27 几乎所有“新鲜小韭菜”初次投资都要交学费？07:48 投资如同学习外语，那么市场有“母语者”吗？14:44 巴菲特奥马哈股东大会的现场见闻：很像县城大卖场，中国投资者组团来“拜财神”25:58 对于普通人的投资建议：与其预测市场，不如回归自身需求31:32 选择丁克，选择离职，选择养老，那该怎么算这笔财务的账？48:10 投资的最终目的，应该服务于你自己的生活59:17 中国新的房地产周期，过往4%-5%稳健收益且随取随用的刚兑时代已经过去了01:11:59 中国创作者经济的尽头与播客的尴尬01:19:53 纽约一年的实感：AI带来社会巨大的割裂，得利者没有争执，都在狂欢【相关阅读】《资产配置行动指南》作者: 大卫翁 出版社: 中信出版社 出版年: 2026-2单身独居，如何最大化个人价值，保障自己的日子有声有色？传统家庭，如何一手护卫父母的健康，一手为“吞金兽”的教育金做准备？略有积蓄，要不要投一点私募产品？要不要换套改善型住房？利率降低、房价难涨、寿命延长，面对一系列新环境，实现资产的安全及稳稳增值才是王道！跟随资深金融人大卫翁，从个人的“三张表”开始梳理，透视自己的收入与支出，资产与负债，现金流流入与流出。在真实的个人数据中，优化收入与消费结构，放大你最宝贵的人力资产，把钱理出来。资产配置远不是买理财产品那般单调。大卫翁带你认识权益类、固定收益类、现金类、另类资产等四大类资产，在不同的经济周期环境下，灵活运用这些武器可做到攻守兼备。同时，针对全球化的资产配置，大卫翁教你打开视野，做聪明资金。现在就盘活自己的资产，去做最适合自己的资产配置。Illustration by Tim EnthovenWhat I Learned About Billionaires at Jeff Bezos's Private Retreat我在杰夫·贝索斯私人聚会上学到的关于亿万富豪的真相 作者：诺亚·霍利（Noah Hawley) 发表平台：大西洋月刊 发表时间：2026.4作者回忆了他受邀参加杰夫·贝索斯举办的名为“篝火”（Campfire）的年度极为私密的闭门静修会。现场聚集了约80位全球最顶尖的头脑，包括普利策奖得主、摇滚明星、顶级科学家和电影明星，讨论着如何“让世界变得更好”，但充满了一种荒诞的悬浮感。当今的顶级亿万富豪已经脱离了普通人的现实生活，对于他们来说，由于资产过于庞大，世界上的任何东西都是“免费的”，宛如生活在一个巨型的“感官剥夺水箱”中，社会的真实反馈和大众的疾苦根本无法穿透他们的财富防火墙。【

Tonight, we are joined by none other than the Mooch! Anthony will break down Trump's terrible week in a way that only a former Trump insider can. Are Republicans finally finding a spine and pushing back? How sick is Trump (mentally and physically?) Will all of Trump's vanity projects really get built? After the Mooch we will be joined by our fabulous Lemon Legends! This is a show you won't want to miss. Tune in Lemon Nation!

This morning, we are exploring the near-daily occurrence of the President of the United States falling asleep at the job. Cabinet meetings, Oval Office briefings, memorial services, there is no occasion too big that Donald Trump won't sleep through. Also, we are joined by Status News' Oliver Darcy to break down the CBS firing of Scott Pelley from earlier this week. Is Bari Weiss really considering Joe Rogan to helm 60 Minutes?!

The fallout continues after the firing of CBS icon Scott Pelley, with many questioning what it means for the future of 60 Minutes and the credibility of CBS itself. Is this the beginning of the end for one of journalism's most respected institutions?

This morning, we're diving into a question that keeps coming up in American politics: why do so many MAGA influencers and pundits seem completely unprepared when they're confronted with basic facts?

Scott Pelley is out. This morning, Don dives into the fallout from Pelley's firing and the slow death of the CBS and 60 Minutes legacy. Is this another sign that journalism is losing its fight against MAGA political pressure? Joined by Dylan Byers, Tara Setmayer, and Scott MacFarlane, we'll break down what it all means for the future of news, truth, and accountability. This episode is sponsored by Byron Publishing.

This morning, we dive into the race for Los Angeles mayor where former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is running. A celebrity with no real governing experience launching a political campaign based largely on fame and media attention? Haven't we seen this movie before?

Tonight, we're diving into the latest scandalous headlines coming out of Washington, and let's just say some politicians seem a lot more focused on their personal lives than the people's business.

Tonight, Trump's controversial slush fund appears to be dead, and the biggest surprise? His own party may have killed it.

Trump's big summer celebrations are turning into a summer headache.

Lucinda Rouse is joined by Third Sector colleagues Emily Harle, Dami Adewale and Andy Ricketts to talk about three significant sector stories from the past month.Emily describes recent cases of so-called “lawfare” affecting Scope and the 10,000 Interns Foundation, both of which have been threatened with legal action on potentially vexatious grounds.Dami provides insight into the resignation of ex-British Psychological Society trustee Nigel MacLennan from his post as chair of Playground Proms, after a tribunal rejected his claim to whistleblowing protections in a dispute with the BPS. And Andy considers why charities working under a Reform UK-led council seem so reluctant to speak about their experiences, and what any future government led by the party could mean for the sector.Tell us what you think of the Third Sector Podcast!

Good morning and welcome back to the chaos. Today we're breaking down Donald Trump's latest trip to China , and why it's looking more like a global humiliation tour than a diplomatic win. Meanwhile, Americans are paying more and more for the fallout of his policies, gas prices are climbing amid the Iran crisis, and Trump continues to spew divisive and ugly rhetoric that only deepens the damage. But we're not just doom-scrolling this morning. We're joined by friend of the show, author and pastor Cody Deese, to talk about how people stay grounded, compassionate, and hopeful when the people in power seem determined to drag the country into darkness.

Tonight, Don takes a deep dive into the growing economic pain hitting America's farmers , and why many rural voters who overwhelmingly backed Donald Trump in 2024 are now questioning the policies coming out of his administration. From rising fuel and fertilizer costs tied to the Iran conflict, to tariffs and economic uncertainty, farmers across the country are feeling squeezed from every direction. Joining the conversation are returning friends of the show, farmer and activist John Boyd Jr. and farmer Will Westmoreland, to talk about what they are seeing firsthand on the ground. How bad is it getting? Why are some longtime Trump supporters changing course? And what happens to the country when the people feeding America can no longer stay afloat?

Tonight, we're bringing you voices from the ground. Don hit the streets to ask everyday people what they're thinking about the state of the country, the economy, the political chaos, and the growing frustration boiling over across America. And one thing became very clear: a lot of people are fed up. Then we turn to the escalating fight over redistricting and voting rights. Don is joined by a Louisiana activist on the front lines battling maps and policies designed to weaken Black political power and silence voters. As more states push controversial redistricting efforts after the weakening of Voting Rights Act protections, many Americans are asking the same question: how do people fight back when the rules keep changing?

This morning, we break down all the latest chaos coming out of Washington, D.C.. Donald Trump is overseas in China praising Xi Jinping while continuing to spark questions back home about his behavior, messaging, and overall fitness for office. More and more people, including some former supporters, are openly asking what is going on. From rambling speeches to bizarre public moments, concerns about Trump's mental sharpness are becoming harder to ignore, no matter how many times he points to passing a cognitive test. So what are Americans actually seeing, and why does the conversation around Trump's mental state keep growing louder? This episode is sponsored by Lean.

Tonight, we break down the growing economic pain being felt across the country and the policies that are making it worse. Gas prices are soaring, recession fears are rising, and millions of Americans are struggling just to afford the basics. Yet Donald Trump told reporters he doesn't spend much time thinking about the financial situation of everyday Americans. Yeah…that's pretty obvious. Tonight, we'll share exclusive footage of lawmakers reacting to those comments and discussing the growing frustration boiling across the country. But the criticism goes beyond rhetoric. Trump is now reportedly pushing the DOJ toward a settlement tied to his IRS lawsuit, raising new questions about whether taxpayers could ultimately be left footing the bill. And then there's the White House ballroom project, which was initially pitched as something that wouldn't cost Americans anything, but now appears likely to come with a public price tag after all. At a moment when people are struggling to pay rent, buy groceries, and fill up their gas tanks, many Americans are asking the same question: whose interests are actually being prioritized right now?

Yes, Donald, that is painfully apparent. So how bad is the economy really getting, who's being hit the hardest, and what happens if things keep spiraling in this direction?

Tonight, we break down the state of the American economy, and for a lot of people, things are feeling bleak. Inflation remains high, recession fears are growing, and millions of Americans are struggling just to keep up with the cost of basic necessities. Add in rising gas prices fueled by ongoing tensions and conflict abroad, and the pressure on everyday people keeps building. So how much worse could this get, and who's actually paying the price? Then we pivot to the growing movement around sports and political protest. Calls are intensifying for athletes to boycott SEC events in states pushing racist redistricting plans that weaken Black political representation. Can sports create real political pressure? And could athlete activism actually move the needle? Tonight, Don is joined by activist and Tennessee State Representative Justin J. Pearson and sports journalist Jemele Hill to break it all down.

Tonight, we dive into the controversy surrounding the recent roast of Kevin Hart. Critics say the event crossed the line into vulgarity, sexism, and racism, while others argue that nothing should be off-limits in comedy. So where is the line? Did it go too far? Don is joined by Chelsea Handler and Sheryl Underwood, who both participated in the roast, for a candid conversation about comedy, culture, free expression, and why these debates seem more heated than ever.

Good morning, Lemon Nation

El documental “Torturas: el crimen mejor escondido” (EiTB) vuelve a poner bajo el foco mediático las denuncias de prácticas policiales de tortura en el País Vasco entre 1960 y 2014. “Me pasaron una barra que daba descargas eléctricas y al mismo tiempo me apretaban la capucha que llevaba puesta para que no viera nada y entonces no podías respirar”. Este es uno de los testimonios que aparecen en el documental “Torturas: el crimen mejor escondido”, el de Encarni Blanco, detenida y torturada en 1992. El documental, producido por la televisión pública vasca, recoge numerosos testimonios, tanto de víctimas de tortura, como de forenses, periodistas, políticos, familiares y otras entrevistas. Los informes de entidades como la Coordinadora para la Prevención de la Tortura, integrada por organizaciones contra la tortura y por los derechos humanos, contabiliza 7.500 casos de denuncias por torturas, trato inhumano o degradante por parte de funcionarios públicos en el País Vasco hasta 2014. De parte del Estado se señala que si en el período 2008-2013 6.903 agentes de Policía y Guardia Civil estuvieron implicados en casos de malos tratos y torturas, solo hay 47 condenas en firme, lo que los lleva a afirmar que el resto se trata de denuncias falsas. A pesar de ello, el documental señala que hasta en 9 ocasiones el Tribunal de Derechos Humanos de Estrasburgo ha fallado en contra del Estado español por algunos de casos, sobre todo por no investigarlos, sin obtener respuesta. En el documental, Nekane Txapartegi relata como en 1999 fue detenida en la calle y de camino a Madrid con la cabeza cubierta por una bolsa sufre una ejecución simulada. “Al llegar me dijeron, ¿conoces a Gurutze Yanzi (muerta en esa misma comisaría)? Puedes ser la siguiente.” Su testimonio también señala la violencia sexual como patrón que se repite en numerosos de los casos recopilados. Como nos contaba el historiador David Ballester hace unos meses en una entrevista, en “materia de torturas”, especialmente en el contexto vasco, la democracia se quedó con el “pack completo” de la dictadura y eso perpetuó las prácticas de violencia institucional. Hasta comienzos de los 80 no comienzan a descender los muertos en manifestaciones y el gatillo fácil no comenzó a bajar hasta 1983. El documental señala como los casos de tortura tienen sus picos en los estados de excepción del franquismo y se mantienen en niveles altos y estables a lo largo de toda la década de los 80. Esto sin contar, como describía algo que se consideraba aún muy habitual, que en un enfrentamiento entre un policía y un delincuente, aunque no fuese armado, se le abatiera y matara. Algo que deberíamos también contar como gatillo fácil, ya que según las resoluciones del Consejo de Europa sobre la utilización de armas de fuego, no es motivo suficiente que un ciudadano, sea o no delincuente, huya como para utilizarlas. Es posible encontrar que policías que han matado a ciudadanos en manifestaciones o por gatillo fácil, aparecen en el BOE condecorados pocos meses después. Por ejemplo, Jesús Martínez Torres, torturador de la ex-Brigada Político Social fue nombrado Jefe de la Brigada de Información en 1985 por el Ministro del Interior del PSOE José Barrionuevo, imputado por desviar fondos públicos al GAL. En la Brigada de Información también estuvieron Roberto Conesa y Antonio González Pacheco, alias Billy el niño, ambos reconocidos torturadores, director de la BPS y número dos del mismo en los 70 respectivamente, con petición de extradición para juicio. Con la disolución de la BPS en 1981, buena parte de los altos cargos integraron la Brigada de Información de la Policía Nacional, y del resto se desviaron especialmente hacia los cuerpos policiales locales y autonómicos. De esta manera se muestra que la impunidad no es sólo “hacer la vista gorda”, sino que forma parte de un modus operandi que excede los límites del franquismo y que está en el ADN del Régimen del 78, concentrándose especialmente hacia la izquierda abertzale, en tanto que se ubicaba por fuera del consenso “atado y bien atado” de la Transición. Si bien, el documental mostraba como las torturas se hicieron extensiva a militantes de CCOO, EKP, LKI, ORT y otras muchas organizaciones políticas y sociales. La persecución a la izquierda abertzale ha continuado pasando por el encarcelamiento de activistas mediante la ilegalización de partidos, agrupaciones juveniles o gestoras jurídicas, amparándose en la Ley de Partidos de 2002 que permite ilegalizar cualquier organización de la que el Estado sospeche de ser terrorista. Estos ejemplos se suman a las legislaciones de excepción puestas en marcha, los sumarios en la Audiencia Nacional, las políticas penitenciarias vulneradoras de los más mínimos derechos humanos o la misma guerra sucia de los GAL y la impunidad con que fue saldada.

Tonight, we break down Donald Trump's latest claims on the Iran conflict, insisting he doesn't need congressional approval because “hostilities have ended.” But here's the problem: U.S. forces are still in the region, tensions are still high, and legal experts say the War Powers law doesn't just magically disappear because you declare things “over.” So what is this really? A genuine de-escalation… or a convenient way to dodge oversight? This episode is sponsored by 120Life. Go to https://120Life.com—and use code DON for 20% off. Try it risk-free for two weeks.

This morning, we break down the state of the U.S. economy as rising gas prices and a growing affordability crisis hit Americans where it hurts. Costs are climbing, and people across the country are feeling the strain. Then we turn to the escalating situation in Iran and the administration's approach to the conflict, including concerns about the lack of congressional authorization for military action.

This morning we come to you live with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's hearing before the House Armed Services Committee. He will attempt to answer questions about the Pentagon's budget but will likely complain, flounder, and become defensive. Also, did you see King Charles' remarks in front of Trump and his minions yesterday? His dry British humour perhaps went over their heads but we have some good clips to show. Tune in Lemon heads!

This morning, we break down the latest Voting Rights case out of Louisiana and what it means for the future of American elections. A new Supreme Court decision just gutted the Voting Rights Act, significantly limiting its ability to combat racial discrimination. Then we pivot to the ongoing rhetoric wars out of Washington. The Trump administration continues to accuse Democrats of using dangerous language… which would be easier to take seriously if Donald Trump wasn't constantly spewing vile, hateful rhetoric against anyone who dares to question him. So what's actually at stake, and who gets to define what counts as “too far”? This episode is brought to you by Aura Frames. Save now on the gifts moms love.

Tonight, we break down the latest Voting Rights case out of Louisiana and what it means for the future of American elections. A new Supreme Court decision just gutted the Voting Rights Act and its ability to combat racial discrimination moving forward. This comes at a critical moment, with growing fears about how election rules are being shaped ahead of the midterms and who those changes could impact most. Don is joined by Congressman Jim Clyburn and friend of the show Monique Pressley to break down what's at stake, what this ruling actually does, and what it could mean for voters across the country.

What a day we've had, Lemon nation. The Supreme Court voted 6-3 to strike down what remained of the Voting Rights Act. This ruling essentially deals a death blow to the nations most important civil rights law. On Capitol Hill, Pete Hegseth sat before the House Armed Services Committee and was grilled about how much money this war is costing Americans. It wasn't pretty. Join Don and guests to break down the day.

Tonight, we break down the breaking, and frankly absurd, news that former FBI Director James Comey is being indicted again… this time over a social media post that said "8647" in reference to Donald Trump. The move is already raising serious questions about proportionality, political motives, and whether this is about enforcing the law or escalating personal and political grievances to a whole new level. Because at a time when the country is dealing with major global and domestic crises, we're prosecuting over social media posts . So what's really going on here, and how did we get to this point?

This morning, we break down the fallout from the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting and how quickly the narrative has shifted. From new security concerns to the administration now pushing for Trump's long-desired White House ballroom, the political spin is already in full swing. At the same time, Donald and Melania Trump are lashing out at Jimmy Kimmel over a joke, blaming harmful rhetoric for putting them in danger. This claim is raising more than a few eyebrows given the absolutely vile content coming from the president on a daily basis. And just when it seems like the focus has shifted, it's back to Epstein. Renewed attention, fueled in part by King Charles' visit, is bringing the issue right back into the spotlight. This episode is sponsored by 120Life.

Tonight, we break down the fallout from the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, what the administration is saying, how the messaging is evolving, and what comes next. At the same time, we'll dive into the backlash against Jimmy Kimmel after a joke about Melania Trump sparked outrage from Trump and MAGA allies who are once again calling for consequences.

This morning, we break down the shocking shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and the confusion that followed. An armed suspect breached a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton and opened fire, prompting Secret Service to evacuate Donald Trump and other top officials. A suspect has been taken into custody, but beyond the immediate facts, the story has quickly become more complicated. Questions are mounting about security gaps, conflicting early reports, and the flood of conspiracy theories spreading online. At the same time, Trump and his allies are already assigning blame and using the incident to push broader political arguments, including renewed calls for a White House ballroom. So what actually happened, and why does the narrative seem to be shifting so quickly? Boston Globe's media reporter Aidan Ryan and Semafor's media editor, Max Tani, were on the ground at the dinner during the shooting. They join us this morning to break it all down.

We start today's programme with the sad news that Dame Jenni Murray has died. For 33 years she brought her sharp intellect, wit and passion for women's stories to generations of listeners, having conversations with some of the most famous women on the planet from Margaret Thatcher to Nicole Kidman. And yet it was her intuition for understanding women's lives - the struggles and the opportunities - and her openness about the challenges in her own life that endeared her to so many. To help us remember her, Kylie Pentelow is joined by former Woman's Hour editor Jill Burridge, who worked closely with her for many years.Emmy award-winner Elisabeth Moss, best known for Mad Men and The Handmaid's Tale, and Kate Mara from House of Cards and The Martian join Kylie in the Woman's Hour studio. Playing best friends – they discuss their new drama series, Imperfect Women.Experts at the British Pharmacological Society (BPS) are highlighting the urgent need for clearer, evidence-based guidance on the use of medicines during pregnancy and breastfeeding. They want to draw attention to what they say are significant evidence gaps, inconsistent advice for patients, and the longstanding exclusion of pregnant and breastfeeding women from clinical trials. Kylie speaks to Dr Emma Magavern, a clinical lecturer in Clinical Pharmacology at Queen Mary University and a fellow of the BPS, and Nikki Wilson, CEO of The Maternal Mental Health Alliance, who decided to go onto antidepressants when pregnant with her second child.Singer and showbiz legend Jane McDonald talks about her new album, Living the Dream.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Show Notes: Notes, references, freebies, and recommendations from this episode can be found here - https://www.morriswellnessservices.com/blog/184   Plastic is one of the most normalized sources of endocrine disruptors in modern life. It's in food storage containers, water bottles, canned goods, non-stick cookware, and takeout packaging. But plastic is not chemically inert. Under certain conditions, the additives used to make plastic durable, flexible, or heat-resistant can migrate into the food and drinks we consume daily. In this episode, we break down how chemicals like BPA, BPS, phthalates, and PFAS move from plastic products into your body. You'll learn how heat, fat, acidity, and time increase chemical migration, why ingestion is the most significant exposure route, and how these compounds act as hormone imposters once inside the body. We discuss how plastic-related endocrine disruptors can: Mimic estrogen Lower progesterone Interfere with thyroid signaling Increase insulin resistance Contribute to fertility challenges Add to metabolic dysfunction This conversation also explains why women are particularly vulnerable due to hormonal cycling, pregnancy, postpartum shifts, and fat tissue storage. Most importantly, we cover practical, non-extreme changes that lower exposure in your kitchen, including avoiding heating plastic, switching to glass storage, replacing damaged non-stick cookware, and being strategic with canned foods and bottled water. Reducing plastic exposure lowers endocrine load. But removing interference is only the first step. Restoring hormone balance requires rebuilding metabolic function intentionally. This episode is part of the Endocrine Disruptor Series, where we explore the everyday exposures quietly impacting women's health and what to do about them with clarity and strategy.   This is the newly rebranded podcast, formerly known as "Your Birth, God's Way".
