Podcasts about Bray

Your brain may be ruining your life, not in obvious ways, but quietly and consistently. In this episode, Dr. Bray explores how everyday thinking patterns like overanalyzing, constant anticipation, and mental replay can slowly undermine performance, relationships, and well-being without us realizing it's happening. Rather than blaming stress, circumstances, or other people, Dr. Bray looks at how the brain's natural drive to protect and prepare often works against us in modern life. He explains how outdated survival patterns show up in work, leadership, and personal relationships, and why so many capable people feel mentally exhausted, stuck, or unable to fully enjoy success. If you've ever felt like your own thoughts are getting in the way of the life you want, this episode will challenge how you think about thinking. It offers a powerful reframe for understanding your mind, not as something to fight or fix, but as something that needs better guidance before it quietly takes over.   Quotes by Dr. Bray "Your brain did not evolve to make you calm or happy or fulfilled. It evolved to keep you alive."   "Just because your brain produces a thought doesn't mean it's true, useful, or worth your attention."   "Is this information — or is this imagination?"   "A delayed response becomes rejection. A brief comment becomes criticism. Silence becomes meaning."

Current State of Global Growth — Resilience with Fragile FoundationsDiscuss how the global economy is holding steady around~2.6–2.8% growth in 2026, showing resilience despite policy uncertainty, tariff pressures, and geopolitical tensions , yet growth remains too slow to drive shared prosperity in many developing markets.  2. Geopolitical & Economic Conflicts as Business RisksHighlight global economic conflicts (e.g., supply chain nationalism, sanctions, and trade weaponization) now identified as top short-term world risks , with implications for cross- order expansion and investment planning. 3. Finance Leadership Trends: AI, Cloud & StrategicCFO RolesHighlight how finance leaders are expanding from reporting into strategic planning, enabled by AI and cloud tech — a trend founders should leverage in their own finance functions.  4. Debt, Fiscal Fragility & Inflation DynamicsExplore rising government and private debt levels, inflation moderation expectations, and their effects on credit costs, borrowing strategies, and consumer demand.  5. Founder Strategies for Trade & Supply ChainDisruptionsUnpack the impact of trade barriers and tariffs on global sourcing and cost structures, especially for founders scaling internationally.  6. Macro Risks & Strategic PreparednessWrap with a look at broader risks, recession probabilities, market sentiment swings, and investor caution — and how founders can plan for downturns with lean operations, strong margins, and optionality. Follow for more @abhisheksengupta2006  #KnowledgeTalks #GlobalFinance #Strategy  #abhisheksengupta #abhisheksenguptaaudioblogs  Media Credit : Pic Courtesy - UnSplash Video Courtesy - Mixxit Background Music - Upbeat Pic & videos : invideo.io & Istock Disclaimer : 1.

Feb. 18, 2026 In this week's NARPM podcast episode, host Pete Neubig interviews Trent Bray, who trains Business Development Managers (BDMs) for Property Management Inc. (PMI) franchise partners on the sales process. Bray advises new owners to wait until they are near the break-even point to hire their first BDM, arguing they should first understand the sales process themselves. He emphasizes that property management is a relationship-driven, referral-based business and prefers hiring a salesperson over a marketer to build these networks. Bray suggests BDMs build relationships with real estate agents using platforms like LinkedIn to warm up the connection before in-person meetings, and also recommends networking with mortgage brokers (not lenders) as a secondary, investor-focused referral source.

Have you ever caught yourself feeling more irritated with people at work than you used to be, even when nothing obvious has changed? In this episode, Dr. Bray explores why so many capable, well-intentioned professionals find themselves feeling less patient, less generous, and more easily annoyed by coworkers than they remember being. Rather than blaming personalities or workplace culture, Dr. Bray unpacks what constant pressure, overload, and unfinished interactions do to the brain, and how a stressed system quietly turns ordinary people into sources of friction. He explains why the issue is often not the people themselves, but the state our brains are operating in day after day. This conversation offers a fresh and surprisingly relieving perspective on workplace relationships, along with practical ways to reduce irritation, reset perspective, and make work feel lighter again. If you've ever wondered why people feel harder to work with lately, this episode will help you see the situation and your coworkers in a very different way. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Once stress lowers, if the irritation fades fast, it was state-driven — not person-driven." "Sometimes the problem isn't them. It's the story your tired brain won't stop telling you." "When you understand rumination, you regain space, perspective, and a lot more patience with people." "It's not because people have gotten worse. It's because your brain is tired — and when the brain is tired, it tells the worst stories."  

Episode 506 dives into soil nutrition and the real-world decisions behind soil testing with Jace Whitehead of EnviroAg Laboratories, an OSU Plant & Soil Sciences grad who built a soil testing lab from his hometown roots and now supports producers across the Southern Plains. The crew breaks down what soil test “extractions” actually measure, why Mehlich-3 and Bray phosphorus numbers can disagree (especially in low pH soils), and why saturated paste is equal parts chemistry and “perfect brownie mix.” They also sort through base saturation talk, potassium response drivers, rooting depth, and why tissue test numbers can swing with weather more than soil supply.Up front, you'll also hear a quick crop update recorded at the Oklahoma Cattle Conference: wheat and canola are starting to respond, diamondback moths are showing up in canola, and the big message for 2026 is to protect flexibility—make informed fertility calls, watch moisture conditions, and don't spend like it's a “maximum yield” year if the economics don't pencil.10 TakeawaysIn 2026 economics, flexibility matters—don't lock in every fertility decision early.Use in-rich strips and real field info to guide N rates, especially in a “cost-cutting year.”Phosphorus is the troublemaker: pH and soil chemistry can make test results look contradictory.Mehlich-3 vs Bray disagreements often come down to what chemical pools each extractant can access.If pH is low, fix that first—otherwise you can “chase P” without getting the response you expect.Saturated paste is useful for salinity/salt issues, but it's a technique-sensitive, “art + science” test.Base saturation ratios sound appealing, but often don't pay to chase compared to bigger constraints.Heavy clay and shallow rooting can masquerade as “cation ratio problems”—look for the real limiting factor.Potassium response may be tied to rooting zone depth/limitations more than a simple top-6-inch soil test.Tissue test numbers can swing with the environment; treat them as clues, not automatic prescriptions.Timestamped Rundown00:00:00–00:01:35 — Welcome + episode setupDave previews the topic: soil nutrition deep dive and an interview with Jace Whitehead, OSU Plant & Soil Sciences alum and soil-testing lab owner.00:01:35–00:22:44 — Crop update (recorded Feb. 13, 2026)Wheat/canola starting to respond; moisture “patchy,” with rain hopes and a reminder not to overreact early.Nitrogen timing: don't feel forced to put “all eggs in the basket” early; use information and flexibility.Push for in-rich strips and better decision-making in a “cost-cutting year.”Pre-plant planning: soil test now for summer crops; consider partial replacement strategies on P & K if economics demand it.Canola scouting note: diamondback moth reports.Market reality check: wheat may look good but price is weak; “hot crops” might be four-legged.00:22:44–00:24:30 — Guest introductionBrian introduces Jace Whitehead and the unusual path: starting a soils lab and building sample volume through precision ag services.00:24:30–00:29:30 — Environmental testing + saturated pasteJace explains oilfield-related soil testing and salinity work; one-to-one extracts and saturated paste use cases.Brian's saturated paste explanation: “perfect brownie mix” consistency as the endpoint.00:29:30–00:36:10 — Why phosphorus tests disagree (Mehlich vs Bray)Jace raises a producer-facing problem: Bray numbers low at low pH while Mehlich can run higher.Brian breaks down the chemistry: extractants differ in what forms they pull, and acidity complicates interpretation.Practical takeaway: address pH first; be cautious about overconfidence in a single number.00:36:10–00:40:45 — Business realities + soil trendsJace talks scale (thousands of samples/year) and why “one-off” conversations are hard to fund at low per-sample pricing.Trend discussion: rotation can drive better management attention to pH and nutrients; canola helped push rotation thinking.00:40:45–00:49:30 — Base saturation, K response, and rooting depthBase saturation & ratios: strong theory, but often weak economic payoff to chase in practice.High-magnesium soils: often a “correlation not causation” story tied to heavy clay/rooting restrictions.Big idea: we've over-focused on a 6-inch slice; better fertility management looks at the rooting zone and limiting layers.Tech wish list: on-the-go tools (even GPR-style concepts) to map depth/limitations.00:49:30–00:57:15 — What it means for producers + tissue testing reality“Find trusted advisors” who can handle both plant and soil chemistry questions, and keep asking questions.Tissue tests: Brian explains how nutrient concentrations can swing with weather/conditions, making blanket recs risky.

Politics used to be a battle over competing ideas, but now it's become a very real fight “between identities”: that's according to Valentina Grippo, an Italian Member of Parliament and delegate to the UN-affiliated Inter-Parliamentary Union, or IPU, which met at UN Headquarters this week in New York.  A majority of MPs worldwide are facing threats and abuse from voters, according to a new IPU report which found that 71 per cent of surveyed lawmakers experienced violence from the public – whether offline, online or both. Speaking to Edouard de Bray of UN News Ms. Grippo stressed that rising polarisation and online disinformation are fuelling violence against politicians and undermining democratic debate worldwide.

Most of us have been taught the same rule for success: when things get hard, try harder. Put in more hours. Push a little more. Stay more available. For a long time, that rule worked. In this episode, Dr. Bray turns that idea upside down and explores why it doesn't anymore. We talk about why so many capable, driven people feel mentally stretched thin despite working harder than ever, and why effort alone is no longer the lever it used to be. This conversation looks beneath the surface of modern work to unpack what pressure, overload, and constant urgency are doing to how we think, decide, and relate to others. This is not an episode about motivation or productivity hacks. It is about understanding how the brain actually responds to effort, stress, and speed, and why pushing more can quietly make things worse. If you've ever wondered why focus feels harder, why progress feels heavier, or why work seems to take more out of you than it used to, this episode will give you a new lens and a sense that you are not alone. It might just change how you think about effort altogether. Quotes by Dr. Bray "This is not because you're weak, and it's not because you lack discipline… It is because the rules that once rewarded effort have changed — and our brains have not been redesigned to keep up." "Ask yourself one honest question: am I adding effort, or am I improving capacity?" "The future of performance is not about pushing harder. It's about building brains that can sustain clarity, focus, and emotional steadiness under pressure." "When capacity increases, effort finally starts working again."  

Brain in a Vat is back from hiatus with a deep dive into the philosophy of religion. Stephen Kershnar and Nathan Bray join us to ask whether God can be morally responsible and whether worship makes sense if God could not have done otherwise.The discussion begins with a thought experiment about gratitude and worship. If worship expresses praise for morally responsible action, can a perfectly good God deserve it at all? Kershnar and Bray argue that divine perfection may undermine responsibility rather than secure it.From there, Kershnar and Bray explore compulsion, omnibenevolence, and free will. Along the way, we discuss moral saints, chess computers, Frankfurt-style cases, Patty Hearst, and the costs these arguments impose on traditional theism. We would love to hear your thoughts. Is worship grounded in gratitude, awe, or something else entirely? And does God need moral responsibility to be worthy of it?[00:00] Welcome Back to Brain in a Vat [00:45] Thought Experiment: Worship and Gratitude [02:59] The Compulsion Argument[05:04] The Role of Awe in Worship [13:21] Maximizing Goodness and Divine Discretion [20:26] The Problem of Evil and Divine Psychology [33:33] Exploring Patty Hearst's Psychology [40:19] The Nature of God's Perfection [46:57] Philosophical Debates on God's Existence[01:03:49] Concluding Thoughts and Viewer Engagement

We were promised that better tools would make work easier. Faster. More efficient. So why do so many smart, capable people feel more overwhelmed, distracted, and mentally drained than ever before? In this episode, Dr. Bray explores what is really happening beneath the surface of modern work and why the problem is not motivation, discipline, or effort. It is how the brain is responding to the way work is designed today. He talks about why thinking feels harder even with better technology, how stress and speed quietly reshape decision making, and what it actually takes to stay clear, focused, and human in a high-pressure world. This conversation is not about doing more or optimizing harder. It is about rethinking how we work so our brains can do what they are designed to do. If work feels heavier than it should and you cannot quite explain why, this episode will give you a new lens and a few powerful insights and tools to help you maximize your brain.   Quotes by Dr. Bray "The real scarcity at work is not time. The real constraint is your cognitive capacity." "The future of work will not be won by people who can do more. It will be won by people who can protect how they think." "Speed feels productive. Focus creates value."  "Adaptability requires the ability to calm the system quickly enough that the brain can stay flexible."

Most people do not procrastinate because they are lazy or unmotivated. They procrastinate because something feels heavy beneath the surface. In this episode of the Dr. CK Bray show, Dr. Bray unpacks why putting things off is often a form of self-protection rather than self-sabotage. He explores what is really happening in the brain when you avoid starting even the things that matter most and why more discipline is rarely the answer. If you have ever wondered why you know what to do but still struggle to begin this conversation is for you. This episode presents a more compassionate and practical approach to understanding procrastination. You will learn how emotional weight, uncertainty, and self-pressure can quietly stall progress and discover what actually helps the brain feel safe enough to move forward. Instead of fighting yourself or waiting for motivation, you will learn simple ways to lower friction, reduce overwhelm, and start where you are. Procrastination is not a flaw to fix. It is a signal to listen to. And when you do, progress often follows more naturally than you expect. Alice Boyes, HBR May-June 2022 Quotes by Dr. Bray "Coaching is received either as support or as condescension, and perception determines which one it becomes."   "People don't resist improvement—they resist being treated as incapable."   "When you design systems that respect intelligence, people rise to the occasion."

"Accurately identifying your emotions—what we call emotional granularity—helps you manage them."  

This episode starts a new series of the podcast that won't have any particular guiding theme but instead looks at various topics that scholars are working on.

What if the cure for our political fatigue is as simple as slowing down and looking at the evidence? We kick off a new series spotlighting Substack writers with journalist and historian Chris Bray, whose work strips away spin by linking directly to source documents, video and on-the-ground reporting. Together we map the contours of an epistemic crisis: the way one angle of footage becomes the entire narrative and how that snap judgment fuels outrage, policy mistakes, and deeper division.From there we follow the money. California and Minnesota have seen explosive growth in public spending, but residents struggle to point to matching improvements. Bray walks through allegations of social services fraud in Minnesota and the telltale response from officials: attack the messenger rather than open the books. We lay out a simple test any listener can run—pull the budget, tour your streets, and compare the line items to what you can see and touch. If the numbers swell while services stall, demand receipts, logs and outcomes.We dig into the loss of recipe knowledge inside institutions—grand goals with no workable steps. Homelessness plans multiply while encampments grow. The California high-speed rail, sold as an LA–SF link, stands today as scattered concrete in the Central Valley. Ignore the talking points and walk the site; steel either connects or it doesn't. Yet there are bright spots: when mission and method align, defense operations and shipbuilding show what competent execution looks like. That is the path back to stewardship—leaders who measure progress, adjust, and deliver.If you're ready to trade hot takes for primary sources and performance politics for real results, this conversation is your starting point. Listen, share with a friend who cares about evidence, and leave a review to help more people find the show. Then tell us: what should we verify next?Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!

What if loving your job has nothing to do with passion, purpose, or perks and everything to do with how often you get to be yourself at work? In this interesting episode with Dr. Bray, he unpacks a powerful idea from Marcus Buckingham that challenges how leaders think about engagement, retention, and performance. Most people are not burned out because they work too hard. They are burned out because they rarely get to do the parts of the job that give them energy. The moments where time disappears. The conversations that feel natural. The problems they solve instinctively. Those moments are not fluff. They are signals. This episode is for leaders who care deeply about their people but sense something is missing. We explore how work can be redesigned in small, meaningful ways that help people experience more energy without changing titles, budgets, or roles. You will hear why engagement surveys often miss the point and how one simple question can unlock stronger performance, deeper connection, and greater resilience on your team. Loving your job is not about doing what you love all day. It is about alignment. And alignment is something every leader can learn to create. You will look at how you work and lead in 2026.  Marcus Buckingham June-July HBR 2022 Quotes by Dr. Bray "The most powerful predictors of engagement and retention are not pay, location, or even belief in the mission—it's whether people are excited to do the work itself." "Helping people find love—or meaning—in some of what they do every day is one of the most important things leaders can do." "You don't need to love 100% of your job. If you love even 50–60% of it, people are far more engaged and far more likely to stay."

What happens when an Australian butcher starts reading Leviticus—and finds it fun? In this unique episode, Dru Johnson speaks with Phil Bray, author of Leviticus on the Butcher's Block, about how his day job cutting lambs and steaks helped him see the book of Leviticus in a whole new light. Phil traces his journey from casual Bible reader to Leviticus superfan, exploring how rituals, sacrifice, and atonement make far more sense when you've broken down hundreds of animals by hand. Phil shares how ancient sacrificial rituals weren't necessarily about violent death but about preparing food as a gift to God. The conversation dives into the Hebrew understanding of holiness, clean vs. unclean, and why God's presence is depicted as a space without disease or death. Along the way, Phil and Dru reflect on Mary Douglas, Jewish slaughter laws, the power of smell and memory, and how the altar isn't where the animal dies—but where it becomes holy. Phil's insights bring theology and meat science into one coherent (and hilarious) frame, showing why Leviticus is deeply spiritual, richly embodied, and more relevant than most Christians assume.

Few figures in church history are as controversial—or as influential—as Origen. Brilliant, speculative, and often misunderstood, his ideas sparked debate in his own lifetime and cast a long shadow over Christian theology for centuries to follow. In this episode, Gerald Bray (Beeson Divinity School) joins us to explore who Origen really was, why some of his ideas were considered problematic, and why he remains impossible to ignore. We discuss Origen as a major turning point in the intellectual life of the church—one of the first to seriously systematize the Christian faith, ask hard questions, and push theology into new territory. This conversation isn't about rehabilitating Origen or dismissing him, but about understanding why engaging him still stretches the church's thinking today—and why his legacy continues to provoke, challenge, and stimulate serious theological reflection.

"Most of the testimonies we enjoyed in 2025 are but a shadow of all that God wanted for us." — Pastor Leo Bray In this transitional message, Pastor Leo Bray challenges the church to move beyond "shadow successes" and enter the fullness of God's kingdom as 2026 approaches. By examining the biblical necessity of faith and the specific protocol of honor, Pastor Leo explains why many believers only experience a fraction of what God intends. This teaching serves as a call to audit our time, respect authority, and live with a renewed reverence that makes room for the "mighty works" of Jesus in our daily lives. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally

The holidays look simple from the outside, but inside the brain they are anything but. This week, Dr Bray explores why this season stirs up so much emotion and how small rituals, tiny moments of connection, and simple sensory cues can create the holiday season you really want.  You will hear stories, science, and a few practical ideas and tips you can use to bring more meaning and calm into the next few weeks. If the holidays feel wonderful, complicated, or a little of both, this episode will help you create a season that feels grounded, joyful, and full of meaning. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Christmas and the holidays are never just a date—they're a pattern the brain has learned over a lifetime." "The brain holds a map of belonging, loss, joy, comfort, and hope." "Rituals are small signals to the brain that say, 'This moment matters.'"

It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa.  The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it. https://twitter.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1998791717752062345?s=20  Autopen. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1998407015756964343?s=20   to decide if it gets a floor vote. I hope they do the right thing. The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.' It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream.  Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump's words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist.  In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise.  The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face. For many Americans, the affordability crisis is so severe that they think the American dream is no longer within reach. In fact, only 22 percent of young Americans think they will be better off than their parents.

The improved upon “Code of Conduct Plus” continues to be an important tool under the DSA: “On 20 January 2025, the revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online + (the ‘Code of conduct+') was integrated into the regulatory framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA), following a positive assessment from the Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. The Code of conduct+, which builds on the Code of Conduct adopted in 2016, strengthens the way online platforms deal with content deemed illegal hate speech according to EU law and Member States' laws. It facilitates compliance with and the effective enforcement of the DSA in this specific area.” This new Conduct Code+ was established as a “DSA Code of conduct”. This empowered civil society organisations to act as watchdogs. “Following its integration, adherence to the Code of conduct+ may be considered as an appropriate risk mitigation measure for signatories designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA.” “The DSA classifies platforms or search engines that have more than 45 million users per month in the EU as very large online platforms (VLOPs)” https://twitter.com/emd_worldwide/status/1998556257251152246?s=20   letter confirms the details of that action.

An adult male fan of the toys are known as a “Brony,” a community that at its peak was large enough to hold annual conventions. Brian Cole Jr, the man charged with placing pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committees' Washington, DC headquarters the evening before January 6, 2021, was reportedly a massive fan of the children's series “My Little Pony,” making fan art and fan fiction dedicated to the characters.Per the New York Post, Cole, 30, appeared to have gone by usernames including iDeltaVelocity, Bron1Delta, Delta1Forgotten, and Blue Velocity online. In one account on an online forum, Cole allegedly posted dozens of fan art pieces dedicated to the My Little Pony franchise. Many of the art pieces feature characters with light purple bodies and multicolored hair.In a Tumblr account associated with the username delta1forgotten, Cole allegedly wrote in response to another user's drawing of a My Little Pony character with a machine gun, “Eh… I'd give her an RPG [Rocket-Propelled Grenade]. What can I say? Explosions are COOL!!”My Little Pony is a franchise marketed at young girls. An adult male fan of the toys are known as a “Brony,” a community that at its peak was large enough to hold annual conventions. Assistant Professor of Psychology Dr Daniel Chadborn wrote in his book “Meet the Bronies: The Psychology of the Adult My Little Pony Fandom,” “The subculture of Bronies was very online and unique and attracted a lot of male fans, who were breaking gender norms, which attracted a lot of attention.”He noted that the subculture is generally not sexual, however, he is not surprised that some members within the community are troubled. “Someone who is disaffected is often going to look for spaces to engage in, for a sense of identity and belonging.”Cole also allegedly wrote fanfiction dedicated to the franchise, with one story marked as being an “adventure/horror” story featuring the characters Applejack and Applebloom  Source: thepostmillenial.com Winning: Woke D.C.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?”  .

Moreover, Trump faces unique challenges in an intransigent Deep State and an array of rogue judges, neither of which any other President has faced at this scale. Nevertheless, in less than a year Trump has kept more of his campaign promises than any other President since FDR. Some of you people need to wise up. There is no Government Fairy.

It suppresses voter enthusiasm, suppresses voter turn out, and creates exactly the barren ground that Leftists have come to expect from a conservative movement that seems determined to fail at every turn even when it is winning. *versus* 2. “I am so happy that we have made so much progress. Trump has done amazing things in a short period of time against unprecedented institutional resistance. We are winning and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the restoration of our Constitutional republic. Nevertheless, there is much to be done. President Trump and the true conservatives in Congress need our enthusiastic, vocal support. We must keep the pressure on the eGOP, the Democrats and the lying media. This is a tough battle, but we will win.” THAT my friends is a message of victory. It too becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as it inspires the voting base yet does not ignore the work yet to be done.

In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana's case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don't want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn't care. He's either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn't be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way. Bray and his friends are the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won't be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again. One of my favorite States, Indiana, will be the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down! Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The  message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens.  Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision. For some Republicans who support Trump’s policy but have struggled to properly communicate the importance to their constituents, the president simplified the issue for the entire party.

If you want to level up your leadership in under fifteen minutes, this episode is for you. Dr. Bray is breaking down seven simple phrases that can completely change how your team collaborates, performs, and shows up every day. These are not clichés, and they are not soft skills. They are powerful signals that shift how the brain responds to stress, trust, and connection. In this episode, Dr. Bray explains why these phrases land, how they change the way people think and act, and how you can start using them right away. One conversation can change a culture. One phrase can change the tone of an entire meeting. If you want a stronger team, a calmer team, or a team that performs at a higher level, this is the episode to start with. Take a listen, and try one of the phrases before your next meeting. You will feel the difference. Quotes by Dr. Bray "A single sentence from a leader can shift a room faster than any strategy deck." "Teams rise when leaders speak in ways that calm fear and spark possibility." "The strongest leadership tool isn't authority—it's the energy your words create." "Leadership is less about directing and more about unlocking the minds around you."  

The Indiana House of Representatives is meeting this week and appear ready to approve a new congressional map against public outcry. The real drama begins next week, when the senate will meet to discuss redistricting. Many believe the upper chamber still does not have the votes to approve Governor Mike Braun's top priority. Led by Rod Bray, could the Indiana Senate be set to deliver an embarrassing blow to Braun in front of the entire nation?

A lot happened while we were off this weekend, from President Donald Trump's overly friendly meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation announcement. That was a doozy. In a 10-minute-long video on Friday, Greene announced that she's leaving Congress, and explained that she felt betrayed by the party – and the President – she'd spent years fighting for. MTG has detailed the numerous death threats she and her family have received because of her recent opposition to Trump's policies. But she is hardly the first to face threats of violence for saying or doing something that MAGA decides it doesn't like. On today's show, we speak with Mark Bray, a college professor who wrote a book about Antifa. And after the murder of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk earlier this year, Bray became the subject of a conservative media storm, fomented in part by the organization Kirk founded, Turning Point USA. So Bray decided to leave the United States to protect himself and his family. He explains what Antifa even is and how writing a book eight years ago cost him his American home.And in headlines, the U.S. Coast Guard makes clear swastikas and nooses are still considered hate symbols, the U.S. continues to work with Ukraine and Russia on an end to the war, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posts anti-vaccine language to its site.Show Notes:Check out Mark's book – https://tinyurl.com/mw9ys4jkCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
