The Justice Department is in turmoil after more than half a dozen federal prosecutors resigned rather than sign their names to a motion to dismiss corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. It's the latest indication that the Trump administration plans to use the DOJ, now led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, as an extension of the president's political agenda above all else. Ken White, a former federal prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney who writes the 'Popehat' newsletter, talks about what the crisis at the DOJ means for the agency charged with enforcing federal laws.And in headlines: The U.S. seems ready to sideline Zelensky and Europe in favor of starting peace talks with Russia to end the war in Ukraine, thousands of federal workers at the CDC and NIH lose their jobs, and phase two of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas is in doubt.Show Notes:Check out Ken's newsletter – https://www.popehat.com/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat 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

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, Jason and Brian dive headfirst into the latest tech absurdities, financial scandals, and Elon Musk's ongoing chaos. We start with the annual frustration of unsubscribing from an email list that just won't quit before jumping into the latest gem from Musk himself: "Some of the things that I say will be incorrect." Meanwhile, British IT worker James Howells is back with his ongoing quest to unearth his lost Bitcoin fortune—this time with a plan to buy the entire landfill where he thinks it's buried. And despite all the corporate posturing about a return to office, remote work remains steady, much to the chagrin of commercial real estate moguls still waiting for the workforce to return.The Trump Coin debacle takes center stage, where early traders made a quick $109 million, but over 800,000 investors got wrecked to $2 billion. Adding to the dystopian financial landscape, Microsoft's latest study finds that AI reliance makes people dumber, leading to cognitive atrophy as workers place too much trust in generative AI. Meanwhile, Thomson Reuters lands a major AI copyright win in the courts, striking a blow against legal AI startups. Over at Meta, the latest round of layoffs blindsided workers supposedly meeting performance expectations, proving that job security in tech is about as stable as Musk's grasp on reality. A man in Alabama pleaded guilty to hacking the SEC's X account to falsely announce Bitcoin ETF approvals, sending crypto markets on a rollercoaster ride.On the media front, Mythic Quest Season 4 is out, and we're cautiously optimistic despite needing a breather after Season 2. The White Lotus returns, but can it survive without Stifler's mom? Meanwhile, Karl Urban's role as Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II is a big win. Walmart's acquisition of the Dawn of the Dead mall seems hilariously on-brand, while Netflix's attempt at podcasting smells like another cost-cutting maneuver. Finally, in "good news," the odds of a newly discovered asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 are rising. At least it would mean an end to Jeep's infuriating full-screen stoplight ads.

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince break down the monumental shift in the war for health freedom as RFK Jr. is officially sworn in as Trump's HHS Secretary. The deep state is panicking, the pharmaceutical lobbyists are in full meltdown mode, and Chuck Schumer is having a hissy fit on the Senate floor, which means something big is happening. They analyze RFK's fiery Oval Office speech, where he promises to crack down on pharma corruption, expose medical fraud, and take on the skyrocketing rates of childhood disease. Trump immediately backed him up with an executive order launching the Make America Healthy Again Commission, signaling that the days of unchecked government health agencies are over. With D.O.G.E. (Musk's government efficiency team) heading for the FDA, CDC, and NIH, the guys discuss what happens when you pull back the curtain on decades of fraud, manipulation, and medical tyranny. Plus, they dive into the insane executive order laying out a full-scale assault on Big Food, Big Pharma, and the medical industrial complex. This isn't just another appointment, this is a declaration of war against the system that's been making America sick.

Top brass at Justice Department offices resign, rather than follow a Trump administration directive to stop prosecuting New York City Mayor Eric Adams. An Afghan national is arrested after allegedly driving into pedestrians in Munich.

Last week, Parks Canada confirmed a dead goose in a Scarborough park tested positive for bird flu, raising concerns that with more birds flying north for spring, the virus will spread. Canada saw its first and only domestically-acquired human case in November, but in the U.S., at least 68 people have been reported infected in the last year, according to CDC data. One person has died from the illness. The poultry industries on both sides of the border have been grappling with the virus for years, and outbreaks have led to the culling of millions of birds in the last year. Now, the U.S. dairy industry is being impacted as herds of cattle in several states have fallen ill. Nicholas Florko, a staff writer with The Atlantic, joins the show to talk about the virus, how it's spreading in the U.S. and why some people are worried that it could be the beginning of the next pandemic.

It's Thursday, February 13th, 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 Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Iran arrested two Christians Article 18 reports that authorities in Iran arrested two Christians last Thursday.  Nasser Navard Gol-Tapeh and Joseph Shabazian are both in their 60s. They had previously spent a combined six years in prison for leading house churches. They originally received 10-year sentences, but were released part way through.  It's not clear why officials arrested Nasser and Joseph again. But the Middle Eastern country is known for arresting anyone who is not aligned with the Islamic regime on “security” charges. Iran is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” British Christian teacher vindicated for objecting to transgender agenda Yesterday, an appeals court in the United Kingdom ruled in favor of a Christian teacher who lost her job over her Facebook posts. A Church of England primary school in Gloucestershire fired Kristie Higgs in 2019. This came after she posted a petition on Facebook that opposed mandatory sex education in schools. She also posted an article that challenged transgender ideology.  Higgs has spent the last six years fighting the school's decision to fire her.  HIGGS: “Nobody should lose their job for raising concerns. The biggest thing for me was that it was a Church of England School. They should be going by what God says, but now they're changing it, and that's just alarming. Just to see a boy in girl's clothing. Another one, My Princess Boy. To some people, it may appear to be okay, but when you know the Lord, you know His ways, and you know a boy cannot be a princess. A boy shouldn't dress up in Princess' clothing. “I knew what these books were. I knew that it was wrong. I could see through it, and I praise God for that. I encourage others to stand up against the ideology and the agendas that are being pushed. You know, we don't have to, don't have to agree to everything. We don't have to go with the flow. The Lord is with us and will help us through it all.” After her victory yesterday, Higgs said, “I pray that today will prove to be a landmark day for Christian freedoms and free speech.  … The Court of Appeal has now set a clear standard to protect people like me, and the countless other Christians in this nation, to express their beliefs without fear of losing their jobs.” Trump chatted with Russian President Vladimir Putin U.S. President Donald Trump spoke over the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday.  It's the first known conversation between the two leaders since the start of Trump's second term. Trump described the conversation as “lengthy and highly productive.” He announced the two countries would begin immediate negotiations for ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump said he also had a good conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy yesterday.  The conversations come as the United States and Russia complete a prisoner exchange this week.  Tulsi Gabbard confirmed as National Intelligence Director Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who became a Republican and endorsed Donald Trump for President last October, has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate to the position of director of national intelligence, reports The Epoch Times. Gabbard was confirmed in a 52–48 vote on Wednesday. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was the only Republican to vote against Gabbard. SENATOR: “Yays are 52. Nays are 48. Nomination is confirmed.” Yesterday's confirmation follows a contentious few weeks of debate over Gabbard's qualifications and judgment, in which lawmakers from both sides of the aisle asked probing questions about her views on Russia, ousted Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, and Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked classified information. Listen to this exchange between Republican Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas and Gabbard on the topic of Russia as she appeared before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. MORAN: “I want to make certain that in no way does Russia get a pass in either your mind or your heart or in any policy recommendation you would make or not make.” GABBARD: “Senator, I'm offended by the question because my sole focus, commitment, and responsibility is about our own nation, our own security, and the interests of the American people. In carrying out the responsibilities of the Director of National Intelligence, if confirmed, no country, group or individual will get a pass in my fulfilling that responsibility of providing that full intelligence picture so that you all can make the best informed policy decisions for the safety, security, and freedom of the American people. “You have my commitment to be completely objective, unbiased, and apolitical. And I hope you understand my commitment to our country's interest.” MORAN: “I absolutely do. You have answered my question in the manner in which I wanted to hear, that you will do this in an objective manner, provide the information necessary, and that Russia, if it's a threat, you will tell us so and tell us the details of that threat.” GABBARD: “Yes. Senator.” After President Trump introduced her at the Oval Office, Gabbard was sworn in by Attorney General Pam Bondi. GABBARD: “I, Tulsi Gabbard, do solemnly swear, that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I'm about to enter. So help me, God.” CDC website purged references to LGBTQ lifestyle and affirmed adoption The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is changing its website under the Trump administration. The CDC is editing or removing references on its website to “transgender” individuals, “LGBTQ+ health,” and diversity, equity and inclusion.  Its website also suggests adoption when people search for abortion. Trump: No more drag shows at Kennedy Center And finally, President Trump announced last Friday that he is removing liberal agendas from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The national cultural center of the United States is located in Washington, D.C. Congress authorized the center in 1958, requiring it to be sustained through private funds. Trump said he fired multiple people on the center's board of trustees, becoming the chairman himself. He wrote on Truth Social, “Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 13th, 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.

CDC's "Vaccinate with Confidence" Initiative Protect Communities CDC is supporting partners to find and protect communities at risk through new investments and partnerships. Leverage CDC's Immunization and Vaccines for Children cooperative agreement to support efforts to identify and respond to areas with low vaccine coverage. Public trust in pharmacists and pharmacy teams helps reinforce vaccine messages. Collaboration with community leaders and influencers is crucial—messages must be evidence-based and credible. Best Practices for Pharmacists "Walk the talk"—if you or a family member received concomitant vaccines, share your experience. Example: "I received three vaccines at one visit (flu, COVID, and RSV), and I am here to talk about it (and I do)." Engage with patients by listening rather than lecturing. Acknowledge patient concerns and provide them with information to consider. Vaccine hesitancy is not the same as being anti-vaccine—many patients are "vaccine contemplators." Vaccine Effectiveness COVID-19 Vaccines Effectiveness Against Severe Outcomes Updated vaccines (September 2023 – January 2024) have been effective against XBB lineage and the new JN.1 variant. Waning Protection Booster doses are recommended as vaccine effectiveness declines over time. Population Variability Effectiveness varies based on age, underlying health conditions, and other factors (e.g., immunocompromised individuals may experience different levels of protection). General Vaccine Effectiveness Real-World Conditions Effectiveness is measured under real-world conditions, factoring in vaccine type, dosage, and timing. Monitoring & Updates The CDC continuously tracks vaccine effectiveness to adjust recommendations as needed. Impact of Vaccination Measles: Cases reduced from hundreds of thousands annually to only 49 in 2021. Polio: The U.S. has been polio-free since 1979. Hepatitis B: Routine vaccination significantly reduces liver cancer risk. Childhood Vaccinations: 100% reduction in cases of diphtheria, Hib, measles, mumps, polio, and rubella. Influenza incidence reduced by 17%. Overall Impact: Childhood immunizations have averted over 24 million cases of vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S. Between 1994-2013, vaccinations prevented: 322 million cases of disease 21 million hospitalizations 732,000 deaths Public Health Strategies Use immunization data to identify areas of low vaccine coverage. Engage with local health departments to monitor vaccine-preventable disease trends. Strengthen immunization programs to enhance outbreak response. Encourage collaboration among healthcare providers—it shouldn't matter who vaccinates, the goal is increasing immunization rates. Empowering Families CDC is partnering with key organizations to strengthen vaccine conversations between providers and parents. Strategies Start vaccine conversations early, targeting parents of infants and pregnant women. Reduce hesitancy and improve access in community health centers. Develop provider toolkits to address parental concerns during outbreaks. Combating Misinformation CDC is working with local messengers and partners to stop vaccine myths. Challenges & Key Messages New administration statements have increased vaccine doubts, making conversations harder. There is no link between vaccines and autism, diabetes, or other diseases. Investments in Public Trust: Work with social media companies to promote trustworthy vaccine information. Provide accessible, accurate vaccine data to policymakers. Engage state and local health officials to counter misinformation effectively. Priorities for 2020 and Beyond CDC aims to ensure that every community is protected through: Data-driven strategies to identify vulnerable populations. Expanding local resources to strengthen vaccination efforts. Building a culture of immunization in healthcare settings. Improving public communication on vaccines. Enhancing partnerships to promote immunization initiatives. Ten Key Messages for Pharmacists Engaging with Vaccine-Hesitant Individuals Vaccines Save Lives – They prevent serious diseases and save millions of lives each year. Rigorous Testing – Vaccines undergo extensive trials and continuous monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness. Community Immunity – Vaccination protects those who cannot be vaccinated, such as infants and immunocompromised individuals. Combating Misinformation – Rely on credible sources for vaccine facts. Misinformation fuels fear and hesitation. Mild Side Effects – Most side effects (e.g., sore arm, mild fever) are temporary. Severe side effects are extremely rare. Consult Healthcare Providers – Encourage patients to ask healthcare professionals for reassurance. Vaccines and Fertility – There is no evidence that vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, affect fertility. Herd Immunity – High vaccination rates protect entire communities. Rapid Vaccine Development Explained – COVID-19 vaccines were developed quickly due to unprecedented funding and collaboration—without compromising safety. Long-Term Benefits – Vaccination prevents future outbreaks and contributes to long-term public health. Pharmacists' Role in Addressing Hesitancy Provide accurate, evidence-based information. Listen actively to patients' concerns. Engage with community health workers to strengthen local vaccination efforts.

The Role of Clinicians in Addressing Climate Change: Dr. Catharina Giudice, Climate and Human Health Fellow, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health “The healthcare system is in this interesting intersection when it comes to its roles and responsibilities as it pertains to climate change,” says our Raise the Line guest Dr. Catharina Giudice, a research fellow in climate and human health at Harvard University.  As she explains to host Hillary Acer, the medical industry is a major producer of the greenhouse gasses that are contributing to serious health impacts on patients, especially those who are already vulnerable due to pre-existing conditions and economic struggles. Giudice, whose academic work focuses on healthcare sector climate preparedness, believes this paradox requires a response from clinicians. “There's so many small things that you can do as an individual clinician to make a difference in the climate change intersection.” Options include working to change hospital practices, educating peers and patients on the health impacts of climate change, and advocacy in the public policy arena. In this thought-provoking installment in our NextGen Journeys series, you'll also learn how the healthcare delivery system is being affected by climate change, and about a new concentration in climate change and planetary health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.Mentioned in this episode:Harvard T.H.

Hosted by RAPM Editor Eric Schwenk, MD, this episode of RAPM Focus welcomes RAPM Associate Editor Mark Bicket, MD, PhD, and medical student Sama Ramo following the recent publication of their original research paper, “Risk Factors for Persistent Postoperative Opioid Use: An Entity Distinct from Chronic Postsurgical Pain,” included in the February 2025 special edition of RAPM, titled “Tackling the Challenge of Chronic Postsurgical Pain.” Persistent postoperative opioid use results when patients continue to take prescription opioids well beyond the time their pain after surgery would be expected to resolve. In some cases, this is a couple days; in other cases, this is several weeks. There are many challenges associated with prescription opioid use, including the lack of a truly safe dose, so there is risk across the continuum. Patients facing persistent postoperative opioid use potentially confront worse outcomes, higher rates of health care utilization, and higher rates of mortality compared to patients not enduring persistent postoperative opioid use. Dr. Mark Bicket is an associate professor of anesthesiology with tenure at the University of Michigan and a joint appointment in the Department of Health Management and Policy at the School of Public Health. Additionally, he is co-director of the Overdose Prevention Engagement Network (OPEN). A clinician-scientist and practicing physician anesthesiologist, Dr. Bicket has pioneered evidence-based approaches to reduce opioid-related harms and improve the treatment of persons who experience pain. He currently leads an NIH R01 study examining pain-related outcomes for persons with opioid use disorder who have surgery and serves as PI for two pragmatic trials funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute including the CARES study, an international randomized clinical trial examining commonly prescribed treatments for postoperative pain. He previously served on the National Academy of Medicine ad hoc committee on evidence for opioid prescribing guidelines in 2018-2019 and a workshop on opioid disposal in 2023. Dr. Bicket has advised the White House, FDA, CMS, state governments, and national organizations on pain and opioid issues. His research, which includes 120 peer-reviewed articles, has appeared in JAMA, NEJM, and BMJ, and has been supported by the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER), SAMHSA, and CDC. Sama Ramo is a second-year medical student at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine. She is a Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research scholar. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

Associated Press journalists witnessed some of the displaced people packing up what is left of their belongings and dismantling makeshift shelters. The forced camp closures have worsened (惡化) what is already one of the world's largest humanitarian crises. At least 500-thousand people have reportedly been displaced in the region following the M23's advance. That was the I.C.R.T.

Today we have Dave. He is 69 years old from Beaver Creek, CO. He took his last drink in September 17th, 2024.   Sponsors for this episode include: Better Help – 10% off of your first month Sober Link - receive $50 off of a device   If you have quit drinking and are looking for new alcohol-free friends, Café RE is the social app for sober people. Come join the party!   Tonight begins our first ever AF Songwriting Course starting at 8pm EST. Connect with other sober musicians and improve your own song writing skills.   [02:40] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares an article from the San Francisco Chronicle regarding the tanking sales of red wine in San Francisco restaurants. All alcohol sales were down but mocktail sales were up.   Many people share that it's tough to quit drinking where they live. Paul discovered a statistic from the CDC that says where he lives in Gallatin County, Montana is listed as the drunkest of all 3,244 counties in America.   In the state of Montana, they place a white cross on the road where traffic fatalities occur in hopes of reminding drivers to take caution and slow down. 66% of these white crosses are alcohol related.   There is no judgement towards those that are still binge drinking. At Recovery Elevator, we are not better than anyone, we have just chosen a different path. If you feel called to walk this pathway with us, we'd love to have you.   [10:01] Paul introduces Dave:   Dave lives in Beaver Creek, CO with his dog Tango. He is very active in the AA community in his area and cherishes the connections he has made there. He enjoys skiing, biking, and traveling. He has three kids and recently became a grandfather. Dave is currently seeking his master's degree in clinical counseling.   Alcohol was present in Dave's life growing up as his parents drank socially. He drank socially as well throughout high school and college. He drinking didn't become problematic until later. Dave shares that his alcohol use disorder stemmed from his chronic childhood emotional trauma. Alcohol later became the solution to dealing with unwanted emotions.   In 2016 after raising his kids independently and a relationship had ended, Dave started to use drinking to deal with some voids in his life. He had a successful commercial real estate business but didn't have many local friends at the time.   Dave went to rehab in 2017 after having two DUIs in December of 2016. He was able to stay sober until 2021 and says again it was emotional overwhelm that sparked more field research. He found help in a psychologist who was a clinical director of a rehab facility. He was able to get sober again in July of 2021.   A reunion in September of 2024 found Dave having beers with friends thinking he would just have a few and would be fine. Dave had more the next day and realized that if he didn't clear the rest of the alcohol out at the end of the day, he would continue to drink. Dave credits his tools and connection in AA to being able to get sober once again.   Dave is huge on connection. Both connections with people and connections with a higher power. He enjoys going to meetings and being of service to others in the community. Dave says one of the greatest gifts of sobriety for him is giving up control of outcomes. He chooses to deal with emotional overwhelm is awareness and since he no longer has alcohol in his system it is easier for him to be aware of what is happening. Dave is a big believer in journaling because of the connection from the hand to the head. When he puts his feelings on paper, he can see rational versus irrational thoughts.   Dave's parting piece of guidance: stay with your feelings, journal about them.   Dave is looking for internship that involves 200 hours of direct engagement of one-on-one counseling with or without supervision.

According to the Washington State Department of Health, flu cases are on the rise. Fewer kids are getting vaccinated for the flu in Washington State. In fact, a CDC report from last year ranks Washington in the bottom third for children who've received the most recent flu vaccine. That puts us well below the national average, which has also been on the decline. Dr Elizabeth Meade says she's not surprised. She's a pediatrician at Swedish here in Seattle, and she's working to reverse the decline. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us.
