It might sound farfetched, but the California Department of Motor Vehicles has a track-record of renewing the licenses of drivers whose dangerous maneuvers behind the wheel have caused deaths on the road. In Southern California, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has decided to move forward with plans to stabilize the coastal highway corridor that links Los Angeles, Orang and San Diego counties. However, the plan is not being met with much fanfare by local environmentalists. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After 17 years of delays, the DMV has deemed May 7 as the official deadline for people to get their REAL ID. This deadline was set years ago after the Department of Homeland Security pushed back the prior deadline of May 3, 2023. REAL ID is expected to be important for a lot of residents— other than serving most of the purposes of today’s acceptable forms of identification– these news IDs will also be important for domestic travel. Today on AirTalk, we tell you what you need to know about REAL ID with Leslie Josephs, airline reporter for CNBC, and Steve Gordon, director of the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

On December 13th, 2008, Tony Hoffman was paroled by the California Department of Correction after serving a two-year sentence for a drug-related robbery. While incarcerated, Tony set four goals: Race BMX professionally, go to the Olympics, start a non-profit called the Freewheel Project, and become a professional mental health and substance abuse speaker.Today, he's done it all… and so much more.Tony's youth was riddled with the dichotomy of athletic success mixed with substance abuse. During his senior year at Clovis High School he was featured on the cover of BMXer Magazine, and was sponsored by Fox Racing, Spy Sunglasses and Airwalk Shoes.But eventually, Tony's mental health eventually deteriorated to a point where he could no longer thrive in sports and he took to life on the streets. He battled addiction, violence, and homelessness, and at one point, was even the victim of a robbery and stabbing.His life of crime eventually led him to prison… and that's where everything changed. A chance encounter with an unexpected mentor would change his understanding of spirituality forever, and flip the switch on his outlook on life.Since parolling from prison, Tony has tirelessly worked towards achieving his goals and the dreams he'd set out for while incarcerated. He raced BMX professionally for several years and continued on to coach Brooke Crain to a 4th place finish at the Rio Olympic Games, accomplishing his dream of going to the Olympics. The Freewheel Project was very successful for many years helping thousands of youth through action sports before moving on to pursuing a very demanding national speaking career. Today Tony is an author, an owner of pH Wellness drug and alcohol treatment facility, and one of the world's most requested mental health and substance use speakers.************Show Notes:A big thank you to Tony for joining the podcast and sharing your inspiring story. Follow Tony on Instagram @tonymhoffman or at his website TonyHoffmanSpeaking.com.************Make sure to follow Jamie @jamiehess on Instagram for news & updates, and visit our companion Instagram account @gratitudeology for a sneak peek into the personal moments discussed on the show.************The Gratitudeology Podcast theme music is by HYLLS, performed by Nadia Ali @thenadiaaliAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

As the earth continues to heat up unsustainably due to society's love of fossil fuels, scientists say natural disasters are only going to become more frequent and more destructive. That's something California knows all too well. Wildfires burned more than 58,000 acres this year and destroyed more than 16,000 structures, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.For many towns, a disaster like a wildfire or hurricane can completely destroy the town and its history, leaving its residents wondering if it can ever be what it once was. The Altadena community is seeing that process play out. The Eaton fire killed 19 people and destroyed more than 9,000 homes when it burned through the neighborhood outside of Los Angeles earlier this year. We discuss what choices families are left to face in the aftermath of a disaster that destroys their home, and what the process looks like if you do try to rebuild.Want to support 1A?

Colorectal cancer is a significant health challenge, and ranks as the second leading cause of cancer-related death and the third most common type of cancer in the United States, among men and women combined. Each year, over 52,000 people in the U.S. die from colorectal cancer, with more than 5,300 deaths occurring in California alone. While early detection of colorectal cancer through screening can significantly reduce both its incidence and mortality, ensuring that screening programs remain effective and sustainable is no small feat, particularly in the face of uncertain funding. This pressing issue is at the heart of recent research conducted by Dr. Ndukaku Omelu of the California Department of Public Health, and colleagues, who examined the sustainability of colorectal cancer screening strategies implemented through the California Colon Cancer Control Program (or C4P for short), with a particular focus on how these screening programs would fare in the absence of future C4P funding, a program funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (or CDC for short).

What is the Waverley Street Foundation?The Waverley Street Foundation, founded by Laurene Powell Jobs in 2016, aims to attack climate related issues through funding community-led programs, leading to community action against climate change. The Waverley Street Foundation specifically funds programs related to renewable energy and regenerative agriculture, as these sectors have an immense impact on the environment and vulnerable communities. The Foundation's approach to achieving climate-related goals is unique, as their solutions revolve around investing in prominent community institutions in order to benefit the entire community, showing people that we all benefit from a healthy planet.Regenerative Agriculture as a Climate SolutionRegenerative agriculture is the practice of using farming and agricultural techniques to help reverse climate change, including some techniques that date back to Native American cropping systems and the way in which they interact with the soil. According to the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the goals of the practice include helping to “mitigate climate change, improve soil health, restore biodiversity, enhance ecosystems, and contribute to human health.” By focusing on the larger community impacts of sustainable farming practices, the Waverley Street Foundation promotes a close connection between people and their food systems. As an example,  the Foundation established agreements with local school districts to support fresh and nutritious lunches, bringing  local regenerative farmers into the supply chain, thereby improving farmers' economics, and allowing them to decide to continue planting regenerative crops. Other Community-Based Climate InitiativesThe Waverley Street Foundation is also currently working on converting health clinics from being run on diesel fuel to solar in India. This not only reduces pollution and carbon emissions, but can also help make healthcare more affordable for residents, while providing new local jobs installing, fixing, and financing the panels. In order to evade the most devastating climate change impacts, emissions need to be reduced by almost half by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. The ultimate goal of the Waverley Street Foundation is to approach climate change with a new outlook: “Cultivating Health, Justice and Joy,”  emphasizing the role that climate change has in harming vulnerable communities' everyday lives rather than solely focusing on technical solutions. Jared Blumenfeld, the president of the Waverley Street Foundation, argues that “unless we can make the case to them, that climate action is going to support and make their communities stronger, I don't think we win many of the other arguments.”About Our GuestJared Blumenfeld is the former Secretary of CalEPA and current President of Waverley Street Foundation, the climate philanthropy funded by Laurene Powell Jobs. Blumenfeld also served as Director of San Francisco's Department of Environment. Currently, at Waverley, he is working on critical environmental issues, such as oil litigation, renewable energy, regenerative agriculture, and food systems.ResourcesWaverley Street Foundation, WorkWaverley Street Foundation, What if lunchrooms served the freshest food in town? Regeneration International, Why regenerative agriculture?California Department of Food and Agriculture, Defining Regenerative Agriculturefor State Policies and ProgramsUnited Nations, Renewable energy – powering a safer futureWaverley Street Foundation, AboutFor a transcript, please visit https://climatebreak.org/climate-action-through-community-driven-philanthropy-with-jared-blumenfeld/

Even before the fires in Los Angeles, California's insurance market was under enormous pressure. Extreme weather events like wildfires, which have been supersized due to climate change, previously led national carriers like Allstate and State Farm to stop writing new homeowners policies. And some property owners are facing non-renewal for homes deemed by insurance companies to be at risk. California is not alone in this dilemma. Florida has the highest insurance rates in the country, and its residents pay 37% more for coverage as compared to national averages. We'll talk to experts about how these latest fires will impact the state's insurance industry and the future of insurance in a climate change-charged world. Guests: Michael Wara, policy director, Sustainability Accelerator at the Doerr School of Sustainability, director, Climate and Energy Policy Program, senior research scholar, Woods Institute for the Environment; Stanford University Dave Jones, former Insurance commissioner, California Department of Insurance; Dave Jones is the director of the Climate Risk Initiative at UC Berkeley's Center for Law, Energy and the Environment (CLEE).

It's Tuesday, January 14th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Biggest persecutors of Christians worldwide Global Christian Relief has released its 2025 Red List — drawing attention to the big persecutors of Christians over the last two years. Nigeria tops the worldwide list for murders with a total of 9,814 martyrs for Jesus. India tops the worldwide list for building attacks which stands at 4,949. Mozambique comes in second for building attacks.  China tops the list for arrests and Eritrea comes in second.   Pray for Christians in these dangerous areas of the world this year and get your prayer guide at GlobalChristianRelief.org.  California fire death count at 25 The death count connected with the California fires is now at 25.  The Palisades and Eaton fires together make for the second most destructive fire in California history. Professor Char Miller appeared on AccuWeather. MILLER: “One hundred mile-an-hour gusts are recorded all over the region. Sustained winds of 60 to 70 miles. And then you've got this incredibly fast moving fire. Some estimates say something like three American football fields in a minute were incinerated.” The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports 40,600 acres burned and 12,300 structures destroyed. The National Weather Service is predicting another windstorm affecting areas from Santa Barbara south into Los Angeles today and tomorrow. . . expecting wind gusts up to 80 miles per hour. California fire damage will cost $140 billion Accuweather now estimates the price tag for the damage caused by these California fires is between $135 and $150 billion.   The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Center for Environmental Information reports 27 separate billion dollar disasters last year — costing this country $183 billion. Three of the five worst years in U.S. recorded history, for hurricane damage, include 2024, 2022, and 2021. In terms of number of billion dollar catastrophic events, 2023 and 2024 were the worst in U.S. history. God, not “Mother Nature,” is responsible for the winds The news agencies have referred to “Mother Nature” over and over again. However, “Mother Nature” is not in control. God is sovereign over every natural disaster, absolutely in control of the winds rushing over the State of California now. Keep Psalm135:6 in mind. Whatever the Lord pleases He does, “in Heaven and on Earth, in the seas and in all deep places. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the Earth. He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries.” 5 of 12 insurance agencies pulled out of California Insurance cannot save us either.   Five out of twelve of the major insurance providers in California have pulled out of the Golden State. The government FAIR plan is also dramatically overextended, accountable for $300 billion of properties with only $200 million in surplus coverage. Fifteen insurance companies have gone bankrupt in the last three years. That's more than the previous 20 years combined. And now this. Only 2% of homes affected by hurricane flooding this year were insured.  Psalm 20:7-8 reads: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.  They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright.” 80% of parents oppose student's gender identity kept secret A recent survey sponsored by Parents Defending Education found that 80% of American parents oppose schools helping students change their gender identity.  In addition, 74% opposed teaching elementary children about homosexuality, and 78% oppose biological males playing in female sports programs.  The organization DefendingEd.org identifies 1,143 school districts which openly state that they can or will keep a student's transgender status hidden from parents.   Interestingly, 67% of Republican parents, 53% of independent parents, and 29% of Democratic parents support reducing the size and influence of the U.S. Department of Education. And 77% of parents support a U.S. Department of Education that allows states to have more flexibility on how they run their school districts Trump's cabinet picks head to Senate Today begins confirmation hearings for Trump's cabinet picks to include Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth who will appear before the Senate Armed Forces Committee, reports NBC News. Also this week, Senate committees will conduct hearings for Attorney General nominee Pamela Bondi and Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio among others. Jimmy Carter's funeral featured song denying Heaven and Hell And finally, all five living presidents -- Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden -- attended the funeral for former President Jimmy Carter, reports the Associated Press. In addition, Vice Presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, and Al Gore were there as well as Vice President-elect J.D. Vance.  The official funeral of state for former president Jimmy Carter included Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood performance of John Lennon's “Imagine there's no Heaven.”  Listen to Garth sing the open. BROOKS: “Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No Hell below us Above us, only sky “Imagine all the people Livin' for today.” Though a professing Christian, the former president made this theologically problematic statement to the Huffington Post in 2018. CARTER: “I think Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere and was not damaging to anyone else.  I don't see that gay marriage damages anyone else.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, January 14th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Within hours of being identified as the assassin of a UnitedHealthcare CEO, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione gained hundreds of thousands of followers and was catapulted into fame by a fandom who believes that his murder of a father was justified violence – akin to a modern guillotine in the hands of the oppressed. Mattias Desmet, renowned worldwide as the leading expert on ‘mass formation' and the madness of crowd behavior, joins psychiatrist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty to examine the shocking public support for a suspected murderer and why people react differently to a crime if it's supported by a crowd who believes they are oppressed – even when their hero turns out to be an Ivy League heir to a multimillion dollar fortune who doesn't follow gun control laws. Mattias Desmet is professor of psychology at the University of Ghent in Belgium and author of The Psychology of Totalitarianism. Desmet is the author of over one hundred peer-reviewed academic papers. In 2018 he received the Evidence-Based Psychoanalytic Case Study Prize of the Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and in 2019 he received the Wim Trijsburg Prize of the Dutch Association of Psychotherapy.
