If you got a COVID-19 vaccine made by Moderna or Pfizer, congratulations, you got a vaccine that uses mRNA to teach your cells how to fight the disease. But Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is doing his best to undermine their future use. On Tuesday, he announced the cancellation of $500 million in grants and contracts aimed at developing more mRNA vaccines. The decision has received near-universal condemnation from public health experts — even President Donald Trump's first-term Surgeon General said it will 'cost lives.' Dr. Fiona Havers, an infectious-disease specialist at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center and a former senior advisor on vaccine policy for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, joins us to talk about Kennedy's dangerous decision and the risk it poses to public health.And in headlines: President Donald Trump says he wants a new Census, The U.S. Air Force said it's denying the option to retire early to all trans service members who have served between 15 and 18 years, and tariff day is (unfortunately) finally here.Show Notes:Call 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

In this special episode, I'm sharing a recent conversation I had on the High Vibe Divorce Podcast — because it's one of the best examples of how deeply validating and practical Human Design can be when you're going through a big life transition.We covered everything from the basics of the 5 Human Design Types and Strategy to emotional waves, willpower and how to know if you're off track.Whether you're new to Human Design or you just need a reminder that there's nothing wrong with you, this is your episode.We talk about:What Human Design actually is (and what it's not)Why your energy Type is the first place to startThe emotions that show up when you're off track — and how to course-correctWhy so many of us are conditioned to believe our natural way of being is “wrong”How the emotional center and willpower center impact your relationships and decisionsThe six Profile Lines — and how they reflect your role, gifts, and learning styleHow Human Design gave Melissa the clarity to leave a career, start a business, and feel more like herself than ever

“We want to bring the human back. That's what we want to do.” — Danielle Foster, Founder, D Foster Consulting In a conversation that challenges current tech trends, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sits down with Danielle Foster and Shelby Page of D Foster Consulting, LLC to explore the real-world impact of AI on contact centers—and the people who staff them. Founded by military spouse Danielle Foster, D Foster Consulting (DFC) is a fully remote, boutique contact center powered by a team of over 40 employees—many of whom are veterans and fellow military spouses. The company offers human-led sales and customer service solutions, primarily to B2B clients in home services, construction, legal, and other high-touch sectors. In the podcast, Foster and Page share candid insights about how AI is being misapplied in the contact center world, especially when companies try to replace humans with automated agents. One client replaced DFC with AI voice callers for outbound appointment setting—only to return weeks later after conversions plummeted from as high as 15% to just 0.57%. “People were hanging up because they knew it was AI,” said Foster. While AI has potential, both guests caution against relying on it exclusively for customer-facing roles. Tools like AI-generated call notes, automated IVRs, and chatbots often miss emotional cues, personal context, and the nuanced needs of frustrated or high-stakes callers—such as those contacting a law office or roofing company during an emergency. “AI isn't going to note that the client was excited—or that they were nervous, or confused,” added Shelby Page. “That's something only a person picks up.” The conversation also touches on the unintended burnout AI can cause for human agents when escalations come in too late or customers are already frustrated by the time they reach a real person. DFC's approach—manual notes, live human engagement, and personalized service—results in stronger ROI, higher customer satisfaction, and improved employee retention. With flexible pricing, no contracts, and a mission-driven team model, D Foster Consulting is not only helping businesses preserve their customer experience, but also offering meaningful remote employment opportunities to military and first responder families across the country.

The Medicare Advantage (MA) landscape is shifting dramatically. With over half of all Medicare beneficiaries now enrolled in MA plans, the program faces unprecedented scrutiny from lawmakers, regulators, and beneficiaries themselves. During this 40-minute podcast, MA policy experts Carrie Graham and Neil Patil dissect the changing political and regulatory climate surrounding MA and offer crucial insights for health plans navigating these turbulent waters. They explore how the Trump administration is approaching MA reform through payment adjustments, increased oversight, and technological innovation.Graham and Patil delve into hot-button issues driving the reform conversation: prior authorization practices that frustrate both providers and patients, marketing tactics that have drawn Department of Justice attention, and the accuracy of provider directories that directly impact beneficiary access to care. They discuss key bipartisan legislative proposals gaining traction, including the No UPCODE Act and the Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act.Want to learn more?

Previously she was the director of aging and disability policy at the Center for Health Care Strategies. She also holds an adjunct professor appointment at the University of California, San Francisco, Institute for Health and Aging.Neil Patil, MPP, is a senior fellow and the policy director at the Medicare Policy Initiative at CHIR, where he conducts policy analysis and provides technical assistance to policymakers on Medicare Advantage issues. Prior to joining CHIR, he was a senior analyst at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Office of Legislation, where he provided technical assistance to Congress on issues related to Medicare Advantage and the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. In this role, he served as the lead analyst on Medicare Advantage issues.

Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Head George Tidmarsh will oversee the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research on an acting basis after Vinay Prasad's abrupt departure hours after the recording of last week's episode of The Weekly. While the situation is being billed as temporary, rumors are swirling that structural changes may be afoot at the FDA with Commissioner Marty Makary looking for better drug, biologic alignment.Meanwhile, the agency has come under criticism for another recent decision—one apparently driven by CDER's Oncology Center of Excellence director Richard Pazdur: the rejection of Replimmune's advanced melanoma drug, RP1. According to reporting by multiple outlets, Pazdur opposed the consensus opinion of CBER staff to approve the drug. The research team behind Replimmune's Phase III study penned an open letter to the FDA on Friday responding to the issues outlined in the agency's complete response letter. Meanwhile, the FDA's Sarepta saga continues, highlighting “unprecedented” FDA leaks and a veritable communications disaster.On the business side of biopharma, Q2 earnings continue to unfurl, with Pfizer, Vertex, BioNTech, Merck and Moderna all reporting this past week. Merck's $3 billion savings push has claimed 6,000 jobs, contributing to a brutal July that saw the entire biopharma industry axe 7,900 employees, a 487% year-over-year increase, based on BioSpace tallies. Meanwhile, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla confirmed he has been in direct contact with President Donald Trump to negotiate a path forward on Most Favored Nation drug pricing after the president sent letters to 17 Big Pharma companies—and posted on his Truth Social platform—asking them to comply with the policy within 60 days or face potential unspecified consequences.In other policy news, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is reportedly considering coverage of GLP-1 drugs for weight management and obesity—reviving a Biden era proposal the Trump admin scrapped earlier this year.Finally, in BioPharm Executive this week, we have a special report on the situation in China as international drugmakers swoop into the region to find new drug candidates, while other companies build their therapeutic farm systems from incubators and venture arms. And check out BioSpace's brand new Manufacturing Brief, where we bring you the latest news and analysis in the area of biopharma manufacturing, starting with a feature on how to make cell and gene therapies commercially viable.

The way Robin Hillier sees it, there is not a single process that is going to make or break a skilled nursing facility more than the MDS resident assessment. She should know. A 40-year long-term care veteran, who serves on major association national advisory panels and boards, in addition to once owning her own facility and now running her own consultancy, Hillier is a long-term care guru of rare caliber. Her insights into the power of the Minimum Data Set and related coding procedures are just the tip of the iceberg. She tells McKnight's Long-Term Care News Executive Editor James M. Berklan in this McKnight's Newsmaker podcast that this is “certainly one of the most complicated eras that we've been in.” She cautions about situations where high-quality, yet unsuspecting providers may be most prone to new audits and scrutiny from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. She also counsels about coping with provisions of BBBA, which, she emphasizes, will affect each state differently. “A group of people have their head in the sand and think there's nothing in here that could possibly be bad,” she says. “And then the other opposite is ‘the sky is falling.'” Hillier also confides about her “geeky” side and how she looks eagerly ahead at this time each year, and why. Download this podcast to hear her full remarks, which include best practices advice in numerous subject areas.

Jade Dass was taking medication to treat her addiction to opioids before she became pregnant. Scientific studies and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say this leads to the best outcomes for both mothers and babies. But after Dass delivered a healthy daughter, the hospital reported her to the Arizona Department of Child Safety, which conducted an investigation and separated her from her newborn.  “I just couldn't believe it, that people would act like this,” Dass says. “Like how they couldn't see—it's, like, you have no humanity if you're gonna take someone's baby.”To understand the scale of this issue, reporter Shoshana Walter, data reporter Melissa Lewis, and a team of Reveal researchers and lawyers filed 100 public records requests, putting together the first-ever tally of how often women are reported to child welfare agencies for taking prescription drugs during pregnancy. This week on Reveal, we follow Dass as she grapples with losing custody of her baby—and makes one last desperate attempt to keep her family together.Walter has turned some of her reporting for Reveal into a book about the addiction treatment industry, Rehab: An American Scandal, which comes out this month. This is an update of an episode that originally aired in July 2023.

Let's go through the most recent update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding Long COVID—and then crunch some numbers to see how many people might be collecting disability payments for it.

The Guys are back after an extended health crisis. News You Can Use and Share! MyHeritage added 540 million historical records in May and 1.25 billion records in June! Among these are 731 million records from French newspapers, part of a push to expand its vast collections of new records from non-English language resources. Vivid-Pix has partnered with the National Institute for Dementia Education (NIDE) and PocketRN, through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to assist in caring for aging memory care patients and their caregivers. FamilySearch International and Michigan State University have announced an extensive expansion to MSU's online collection, Enslaved, at https://enslaved.org/, and at FamilySearch.org. The new dataset uses the 1900 U.S. federal census records to document formerly enslaved individuals and their families. (Enslaved.org is worthy of your financial support.) FamilySearch added 30 million new records from eight (8) countries, including Italian civil registration records, Brazilian cemetery records, and records from the American Medical Association's deceased physicians (1864-1968). Listener Email Joanne was thrilled with MyHeritage's addition of 1926 Canada Census records of Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. These included both of her parents! Judi shares that Essex County, New Jersey, newspapers are accessible at the Newark [NJ] Public Library, and that the Newark News can be searched online. (See https://www.npl.org/collections-services/charles-f-cummings-new-jersey-information-center/inventory-of-new-jersey-newspapers-on-microfilm/.) Ken has been researching Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and local studies. He has used census records and military documents, and he warns that there are transcription errors (manual and mechanized) that researchers should be alert to these, and continue their personal research to locate and include the original documents whenever possible. Laura writes to share some issues she has had with Newspapers.com and the responses she received from the company. She discusses the need to be alerted by online companies of known problems on that they are working to resolve. Jana responded to Drew's comments about Tennessee records, and she discusses that ‘missing' individuals may have migrated to Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri. Consider common migration patterns and check for records in other states. Paula is greatly concerned about shrinking genealogical societies. She is searching for resources and forums for discussions of strategies. George suggested contacting the National Genealogical Society for assistance. Mary is seeking advice on determining the parentage of an illegitimate ancestor. Drew offers advice about the use of DNA testing strategies. Lisa asks about the 1860 U.S. federal census agricultural census. Column 44 asks about molasses and its suggestions of values of the source: M for maple and S for sorghum. She has seen the value of ‘CC' and wonders what that indicates. The Guys cannot find anything in any enumerator instructions, and they ask other listeners to share their knowledge and experience on this issue. Drew provides a recap of his experiences at the South Carolina Genealogical Society's Summer Workshop in Columbia in July. Drew will be presenting at the International Jewish Genealogical Society Conference in Fort Wayne, Indiana, soon and shares some thoughts. Please let us hear from you at genealogyguys@gmail.com with your questions and comments.

The General Services Administration is looking into how it can implement its internal artificial intelligence chatbot across the federal government, the agency's top AI and data official said Thursday, the latest indication that the Trump administration is planning on streamlining government access to AI. The new initiative marks the “next iteration” of the GSAi platform, Zach Whitman, the agency's chief AI officer and data officer, said during a speech at the Digital Government Institute's annual convention in Washington, D.C. The GSA rolled out GSAi internally in March after a lengthy research and development process, which involved an AI safety team that evaluated a number of major AI vendors. Like other AI chatbots available to the public, the tool was initially designed to respond to user prompts and assist in basic tasks. GSAi gives users access to a number of models, including ones from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, and aims to increase workflow efficiency at the agency. This next chapter, Whitman said, is “one where other agencies could use what we have, use it in an isolated environment, use it for their specific purposes and own it in a tenant-based model.” The Trump administration on Wednesday announced an initiative to improve the digital health ecosystem for patients and providers, leaning on the voluntary support of dozens of health and tech companies. More than 60 companies — including data networks, health systems and providers, and developers of AI and other applications — have committed to improving the flow of electronic health information, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. That group of adopters includes tech leaders such as Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Google, and OpenAI. The announcement comes after a May request for information that generated nearly 1,400 comments, which “were instrumental” in forming the initiative, according to CMS. It also appears to primarily be a collaborative effort between CMS and the Department of Government Efficiency. In addition to CMS's announcement, the White House held an event Wednesday with remarks from CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz, DOGE acting director Amy Gleason, President Donald Trump, and Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In her remarks, Gleason spoke about her daughter's experience navigating the health system as someone with a rare disease and the difficulty posed by transferring physical copies of her medical history from place to place.

Doug's insightful interview with Ed Arrighi, for your listening pleasure. Originally aired on July 26th, 2025.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. New C&B Steak Bet! Kamala Harris announced she will not run for California governor in 2026. Clay and Buck analyze her new book, 107 Days, and preview her upcoming appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—her first major interview since her 2024 presidential campaign defeat. Clay and Buck make a new steak bet about Kamala Harris’s political future. They engage in a spirited discussion over whether Harris will run for president in 2028. Clay argues she will, citing her age, lack of alternative pursuits, and her unique position as a Black female candidate with strong name recognition. Buck counters that Harris is politically finished, suggesting she’s more likely to take a ceremonial role at a university or think tank. The conversation touches on Democratic Party strategy, the importance of the South Carolina primary, and the influence of figures like James Clyburn. Mayor Mamdani? The conversation shifts to New York City politics, where the hosts critique mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for his past support of defunding the police and his proposal for city-run grocery stores. They warn that his policies could lead to economic and public safety disasters, drawing comparisons to failed socialist models. The segment includes a broader critique of progressive governance and its effects on urban housing, crime, and affordability. Dr. Oz on the Future of Healthcare Dr. Oz, now serving as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Trump administration, outlines the administration’s ambitious healthcare agenda. He addresses the skyrocketing cost of healthcare in America, the chronic disease epidemic, and the mental health crisis, emphasizing the role of loneliness as a key driver of poor health outcomes. Dr. Oz also highlights a recent White House event where major tech and healthcare companies pledged to return control of medical records to patients and modernize healthcare through digital innovation. A major focus is the “big beautiful bill” that introduced work requirements for Medicaid recipients, aiming to restore dignity and autonomy to able-bodied Americans while preserving the program’s integrity. Dr. Oz defends the policy as a moral and economic imperative, drawing parallels to President Clinton’s welfare reform. The conversation shifts to prescription drug pricing, where Dr. Oz announces a new “most favored nation” pricing policy to combat global freeloading and reduce U.S. drug costs. He compares this initiative to NATO’s cost-sharing model, asserting that America should no longer bear the financial burden of global pharmaceutical R&D alone. Technology’s transformative role in healthcare is another key theme. Dr. Oz discusses how AI, robotics, and automation will streamline care, reduce administrative waste, and combat fraud—highlighting a recent $15 billion DOJ takedown of a multinational criminal network exploiting Medicare. FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak joins the show to discuss the agency’s efforts to protect consumers from sophisticated scams, including AI-driven voice cloning fraud. She outlines the FTC’s enforcement mechanisms, collaboration with the DOJ, and focus on anti-competitive mergers in the fast-evolving tech sector. Holyoak also promotes the FTC’s “Made in USA” labeling enforcement, encouraging businesses and consumers to report violations.

It's Thursday, July 31st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Iran has arrested 54 Christians since ceasefire Article 18 reports that Iran has arrested 54 Christians since it agreed to a ceasefire with Israel on June 24. That's more arrests than the previous six months.  Christians in the Middle Eastern country are also facing increased hate speech since Iran's recent conflict with Israel. Many are seeking to paint Christians as co-conspirators with Israel.  Article18's executive director, Mansour Borji, commented, “We are very concerned for the well-being of all Iranian Christians … considering the past misuse of pseudo-legal provisions … to justify violence and punitive measures against this vulnerable community.” Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” Russia rocked by 8.8-magnitude earthquake One of the largest earthquakes ever recorded struck  Russia's far east coast yesterday morning. The 8.8-magnitude quake sent tsunami waves at Russia and Japan. The waves also reached parts of Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast.  Millions of people were told to seek high ground. However, authorities downgraded their warnings after the threat of major tsunami waves subsided. Russia experienced some damage but reported no casualties.  China launches nationwide childcare subsidy China launched its first nationwide subsidy for childcare on Monday. The government will offer families 3,600 yuan per year for each child under the age of three. That's the equivalent to about $500 per child.  The central government is also urging local authorities to introduce free preschool education.  China is introducing these measures at it continues to suffer population decline as the result of its previous one-child policy.  America's fertility rate drops to new low Meanwhile, in the United States, the fertility rate dropped to a new low in 2024. New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found the fertility rate fell to 1.6 children per woman last year. The fertility rate declined for females in age groups 15-34, remained unchanged for women ages 35-39, and increased for women ages 40-44. U.S. economy grew by 3% The U.S. economy grew better than expected during the second quarter of this year. The Commerce Department reported gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of three percent during April, May, and June. That's up from a 0.5% decrease during the first quarter. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, calling for lower interest rates. He wrote, “2Q GDP JUST OUT: 3%, WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED! . . . MUST NOW LOWER THE RATE. No Inflation! Let people buy, and refinance, their homes!” Obama-era climate regulation justified $1 trillion in regulations The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding. The Obama-era finding has been used for climate regulations like those on motor vehicle emissions. It justified over $1 trillion in regulations, including the Biden administration's electric vehicle mandate.  Republican U.S. Congressman Mark Messmer of Indiana said, “The Endangerment Finding has long been a Democrat tool to issue burdensome regulations that ignore commonsense science in pursuit of radical Green New Deal aligned agendas. I applaud … the entire Trump Administration for making sure we cut the red tape that is unnecessarily impeding American business.”  Adultery, cloning humans, suicide, and polygamy still considered morally wrong Gallup released their latest poll on Americans' opinions of the moral acceptability of 20 behaviors. The vast majority of U.S. adults still believe adultery, cloning humans, suicide, and polygamy are morally wrong. Respondents were more divided on abortion. Most Americans believe birth control, divorce, and premarital sex are morally acceptable.  These findings are generally similar to last year. However, views of the moral acceptability of abortion and “changing one's gender” are down compared to last year. Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.” 250 years of U.S. Army Chaplains And finally, U.S. Army Chaplains celebrated 250 years of ministry this month. On July 29, 1775, the Continental Congress granted the request of General George Washington to establish an official position for military chaplains.  Since then, there have been 25,000 Army chaplains. Three thousand currently serve in the U.S. Army. Listen to comments from Senior Army Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Ludovic Foyou made at Arlington National Cemetery.  FOYOU: “Today marks 250 years of the US Army Chaplain Corps. That is 250 years of ministry alongside the brave, praying with the dying, walking with the wounded, and standing watch with those who bear the burden of defense. “Two and a half centuries of ministry in boots, of comfort offered besides cots, of prayers whispered beneath helmets, in tents and trenches deserts and jungles and now across the world. “It is ministry like no other one, forged in the very crucible of conflict, yet rooted in the deepest well of hope, mercy and calling.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, July 31st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is getting new permanent leadership. The Senate confirmed President Donald Trump's pick Susan Monarez to serve as CDC director. She'll be the CDC's first director without a medical degree in more than 70 years. CDC laid off about 2,400 employees in April. But the agency reinstated about a third of them. Nearly 600 employees took voluntary incentives to leave the agency and will be off its rolls by the end of the year.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when you mix a passionate teacher, a business-savvy nurse practitioner, and a dream to build something of their own? You get Noah and Jennifer Smith—a dynamic duo who turned one child care center into three thriving schools in Pennsylvania. Tune in to this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast as Brian and Carol catch up with the Smiths to hear how they've grown their business, managed their time, and learned to delegate without losing their sanity.   Listen in as Jennifer shares her journey from employee to owner, how a leap of faith during COVID led to a life-changing purchase, and why opening a second school was far more challenging than the third. You'll hear the real story—the stress, the tears, the doubts—and the turning point that helped her finally let go and scale with confidence. Noah explains how he balances multiple businesses, a full-time job, and his role behind the scenes in the child care centers by sticking to a tight schedule and trusting the systems they've built.   Join us as we dive into how the Smiths' schools stand out from the crowd with top-tier quality ratings, programs that give back to under-resourced families, and a team culture that includes real benefits and support for teachers. This episode is packed with advice for anyone dreaming of opening their first child care center—or scaling beyond one.   From near-disastrous deals to smart investments, from daily check-ins to boundaries that protect their personal life, Noah and Jennifer reveal what it really takes to grow a successful business as a couple and as parents.

A record high 7 million U.S. children have received an ADHD diagnosis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But journalist Paul Tough wonders if we're thinking about pediatric ADHD all wrong. For a recent New York Times Magazine feature, Tough spent a year talking to leading researchers who now say that standard treatments like Ritalin only help children behave better, not learn better – and even that effect wears off completely over time. We talk to Tough about why he says we need to reconceptualize diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Guests: Paul Tough, contributing writer, New York Times Magazine Learn more about your ad choices.
