In the weeks since the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, President Trump has been touting his legislative wins, including the codification of certain DOGE cuts and bipartisan legislation addressing fentanyl and cryptocurrency. However, these successes have been overshadowed by questions surrounding the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein case. FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar breaks down the headlines from the White House this week. Later, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Director of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, discusses how the Trump administration is trying to tackle fraud and abuse in Medicaid.

Research funded by the federal government has been crucial in many of the defining technologies of our time: the internet, A.I., crispr, Ozempic, and the mRNA vaccines first used widely in the COVID pandemic. Between 2010 and 2019, more than 350 drugs were approved in the United States, and virtually all of them could trace their roots to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Now this administration is endangering our health by cutting funds to academic medical centers. Moreover, there are threats to Medicaid, as well as ongoing cuts to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Many universities have paused hiring due to the uncertainty at the NIH and are curtailing graduate programs. Biotech investors are warning of a contraction in medical innovation. NIH grants have been terminated on ideological grounds, which have resulted in clinical trials shutting down. Global health programs worldwide have been cut. A discussion on these destructive policies on medicine in our country is needed.

America's health is in danger. We're not testing our food, water and drugs like we should. We're limiting access to vaccines. We aren't testing for covid or bird flu or any other communicable illness going around, and the people in charge of our health from the Administrator of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid to the Surgeon General are on a spectrum from quack science to anti science. On top of it all we have the MAHA movement on the rise with the power and financial grift of non-doctor, non-scientist RFK Jr. which will ultimately do the opposite of make America healthy. To discuss how much the group in charge of our health is actually bad for our health, we are joined today by Dr. Anahita Dua a cardiovascular surgeon, associate professor of surgery, and founder of Healthcare for Action.

While the Congressional Budget Office says as many as twelve million people could lose health insurance due to Medicaid cuts in the President's "big, beautiful bill," the Trump administration defends work requirements and cuts for cost savings. Their goal is to reform the system, removing non-disabled recipients from Medicaid. Despite Democrats' concerns, these cuts won't take effect until the end of next year. Director of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz joins the Rundown to explain the need to address waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid to ensure those who need it most receive health care. Last week, the largest illegal immigration raid of President Donald Trump's second term occurred, resulting in the detention of over 360 individuals at two marijuana farms in California. Among those detained were several convicted felons and 14 children. Former acting ICE Director and former federal prosecutor Jonathan Fahey joins us to discuss the raids and the ongoing legal issues surrounding immigration.

Show notes (Why We Sleep book summary) / Free Full Audiobook / PDF & Infographic / IN THIS EPISODE: Sleep is a complex, essential biological process that significantly impacts physical health, mental function, and emotional regulation, and understanding and prioritizing it can dramatically improve overall human well-being. Read 1 million books in minutes. For free. Visit getstoryshots.com to get started. TOPICS: sleep, Circadian rhythm, health, Dreams, mental health, Neuroscience KEY FIGURES: Pixar, National Institutes of Health, NBA, Atomic Habits, World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Harvard Medical School, Why We Sleep, NFL, Matthew Walker, UC Berkeley, Deep Work, Einstein, StoryShots SUMMARY: Matthew Walker's book 'Why We Sleep' reveals a critical insight into the profound importance of sleep for human health, highlighting that most adults in developed nations fail to get the recommended eight hours of sleep. The book explains the complex biological mechanisms behind sleep, including the 24-hour circadian rhythm regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus and the buildup of adenosine that creates sleep pressure, demonstrating how these systems interact to govern our sleep-wake cycles. Walker emphasizes that sleep is not a passive state but a critical biological process with distinct stages-NREM and REM sleep-each serving unique functions for physical and mental restoration. During these stages, the body performs essential tasks like tissue repair, memory consolidation, emotional processing, and clearing toxic proteins from the brain. Sleep deprivation has severe consequences, including increased risks of chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, as well as significant impairments in cognitive function, emotional regulation, and mental health. The book also explores how modern society has created a 'sleep loss epidemic' through factors like artificial lighting, technology, work schedules, and cultural attitudes that devalue sleep. Walker provides practical strategies for improving sleep quality, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a cool and dark sleeping environment, avoiding caffeine and alcohol before bedtime, and establishing a relaxing pre-sleep routine. By understanding and prioritizing sleep, individuals can dramatically improve their overall health, cognitive performance, and emotional well-being. KEY QUOTES: • "Sleeping less than six hours a night is a form of self-inflicted harm that damages every system in your body." - Matthew Walker • "Dreams are not the byproduct of sleep, but rather its purpose, nature's best attempt at emotional first aid." - Matthew Walker • "Our modern world is perfectly designed to disrupt sleep, creating the most sleep deprived era in human history." - Matthew Walker • "The amygdala, your brain's emotional center, becomes 60% more reactive without proper sleep, while the rational prefrontal cortex becomes less active." - Matthew Walker KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Sleep is essential for physical health, with chronic sleep deprivation dramatically increasing risks of serious conditions like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes • Sleep consists of different stages (NREM and REM), each serving unique functions for mental and physical restoration, including memory processing, emotional regulation, and tissue repair • Modern society has created a sleep loss epidemic through artificial lighting, technology, work schedules, and cultural attitudes that devalue sleep • Dreams during REM sleep are crucial for emotional processing, stress reduction, and enhancing creativity by forming unique connections between ideas • Sleep patterns naturally change throughout life stages, with significant variations in sleep needs and rhythms from infancy to old age • Lack of sleep impairs cognitive function, reducing concentration, memory, and decision-making abilities while increasing emotional reactivity...

In just a few short months on the job, Health And Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has managed to upend the American public health system, successfully inserting his decades of vaccine skepticism into national policy. Late last month, he fired every member of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory panel, replacing them mostly with people who've voiced skepticism about vaccines. In May, he announced the CDC would stop recommending COVID vaccines for pregnant people and babies. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other health groups are now suing him and HHS over the latter decision. Dr. Fiona Havers, a former senior advisor on vaccine policy at the CDC, resigned from the agency over Kennedy's changes to federal vaccine policy. She joins us to talk about what everyday people should do to keep themselves and their family safe.And in headlines: President Donald Trump abruptly reversed course on sending defense weapons to Ukraine, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins doubles down on “no amnesty” for undocumented farmworkers, and someone out there is using AI to impersonate Secretary of State/National Security Advisor/Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

Kevin and Julie dive into five soul-stretching questions every gospel teacher can use to reflect on their effectiveness. Rooted in "Teaching in the Savior's Way," these questions explore whether learners can feel a teacher's love for the Savior, recognize their personal spiritual habits, and recall stories that deepen faith.Through honest conversation and personal experiences—both humbling and humorous—they model what it means to teach with authenticity, vulnerability, and purpose. This episode reminds us that impactful teaching starts with who we are, not just what we say._______________Subscribe for more free YouTube Tips: https://www.youtube.com/teachingrestored?sub_confirmation=1Find all episodes: https://teachingrestoredAsk a question for us to answer on our podcast: https://teachingrestored.com/contact-us/Join us on:✅ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teachingrestored✅ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teachingrestored✅ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@teachingrestored
President Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” into law on July 4 and now leaders such as Stephanie Carlton are in charge of implementing it. She's the deputy administrator and chief of staff at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Carlton and the administration see the law's benefits because Medicaid reimbursement rates “were allowed to go up to commercial rates and states are at varying levels towards that cap. But as we sat back and looked at...

CDC offers free syphilis tests to under-24s as youth cases rise The Centers for Disease Control has rolled out free, rapid syphilis tests to people under the age of 24. The program began on July 1 and is available through 13 participating hospitals nationwide. The C-D-C's Division of Chronic Infectious Disease says the tests have been introduced to a rise in the number of cases of syphilis among people aged 13 to 24. According to the C-D-C, the number of cases involving people in that age bracket (年齡段) has increased for four consecutive years. The C-D-C says the free syphilis testing program has no set deadline or quota.

Search efforts are now in their fifth day. US correspondent Kate Fisher reports Canada Arrests for Land Seizing Plot Canadian police have arrested four individuals, including two active members of Canada's military, for allegedly plotting to seize land in the province of Quebec. Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced on Tuesday that three suspects are charged with facilitating “terrorist activity.” They allegedly planned to form an anti-government militia and conducted military-style training and scouting operations. Police said that the investigation began in March 2023. That led to January 2024 searches that uncovered explosives, ammunition, and firearms. A fourth suspect faces weapons-related charges. Authorities describe the case as ideologically (意識形態上) motivated extremism. The suspects allegedly used Instagram to recruit (招募) members. Greece Closes Acropolis Due to Heat Authorities in Athens closed the Acropolis for several hours due to high temperatures. The closure lasted from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Mandatory work breaks remain in effect in parts of Greece, especially islands and central regions where temperatures have exceeded 40 degrees Celsius. These measures, which began Monday, include fines of 2,000 euros per worker for noncompliance. Officials warn that the risk of wildfires, already at a "very high" level in the eastern mainland, could worsen (惡化) later this week. That was the I.C.R.T.

Alan Sim, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's chief data officer, announced his departure from the agency after nearly five years in the position, per a post he wrote on social media Monday. Sim took on the role of chief data officer in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and over the years has been a leader on initiatives such as the agency's generative AI projects. Reflecting on his time, Sim pointed to several “firsts” the agency achieved, including launching its enterprise data catalog and using data and cloud technologies to improve emergency response. “It is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure from the CDC,” Sim wrote in a post to LinkedIn. His time as CDC's data leader was his second run at the agency. Sim, who has a PhD in epidemiology, had also been a graduate fellow and then a health informatics scientist at CDC early on in his career in the late 90s to the early 2000s. In his post, Sim said that period was “defined by concerns like bioterrorism, Anthrax, and SARS.” “Returning in 2020 as CDC's Chief Data Officer during the worst pandemic in our nation's history was both a significant challenge and a profound opportunity,” Sim said. Sim didn't include details about his next steps but said he would be sharing more soon. It is unclear who the acting CDO is in his absence. The General Services Administration struck a deal with Oracle as part of its OneGov strategy to provide a variety of cheaper services to federal agencies, including a 75% discount for license-based Oracle Technology Programs. Under OneGov, GSA wants to work directly with original equipment manufacturers like Oracle to negotiate better governmentwide terms for commercial technology. On top of the 75% discount for licensed technology such as database, integration, security, and analytics services, Oracle will also offer “substantial base discounts” for its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, GSA announced Monday. Oracle is now the latest of several technology vendors, including Adobe, Google, Salesforce and others, to negotiate a OneGov deal with GSA. This deal, however, comes with some additional terms beyond discounts that stand to benefit federal agencies as they modernize their IT infrastructures. In particular, Oracle won't charge data egress fees when agencies move their “existing workloads from Oracle Government Clouds to another cloud service provider's FedRAMP Moderate, High or DOD IL 4, 5 Cloud,” GSA said in its release. The company will also promote pricing parity with other competing commercial cloud providers, “with no additional security or government uplifts ever charged in the Oracle cloud.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Phototherapy is one of the most effective and quietly revolutionary treatments in public health. Every year, hundreds of thousands of newborns around the world develop severe jaundice and for most, a simple blue light can prevent irreversible brain damage or even death. But access to that light isn't universal.In this episode, we explore the science of jaundice and bilirubin, why newborns are particularly vulnerable, describe the mechanism by which blue-green light helps clear toxic levels from the body, and the global inequality in access to this life-saving intervention. We also highlight public health wins, like the innovative Crib A'Glow device and impactful interventions in countries like Myanmar.From the history of phototherapy's discovery in 1950s England to the modern challenges faced in low-resource settings, this episode brings you deep into the intersection of neonatal care, technology, and global health.Citations:Impact of Universal Bilirubin Screening on Severe Hyperbilirubinemia and Phototherapy Use - PMCFAQs About Phototherapy | Newborn Nursery | Stanford MedicineNeonatal hyperbilirubinaemia: a global perspective - The Lancet Child & Adolescent HealthNeonatal jaundice: phototherapy - PMCBurden of severe neonatal jaundice: a systematic review and meta-analysis | BMJ Paediatrics OpenNeonatal Hyperbilirubinemia: Evaluation and Treatment | AAFPAcceptability and operational feasibility of community health worker-led home phototherapy treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in rural Bangladesh | BMC Pediatrics | Full TextGlobal Prevalence of Severe Neonatal Jaundice among Hospital Admissions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - PMCDisclaimer:The information in this episode of Transmissible: A Public Health Podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

It's Friday, July 4th, 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 Adam McManus Muslim mob disrupts Christian retreat in Indonesia On June 27, a mob of 200 Muslims stormed a Christian youth retreat at a home in Indonesia, driving out participants and damaging property, as police and soldiers looked on reports Morning Star News. Ironically, after praying at the mosque that Friday, they carried banners and shouted, “Destroy that house, destroy that house.” – referring to the home in Cidahu District in the West Java Province. They damaged windows, toilets, a gazebo, and garden. Claiming that a house should not be used as a place of worship, the Muslim mob also threw a motorbike into a nearby river and damaged the main gate. Videos circulating online show a man climbing a wall and removing a wooden cross attached to it, which he then uses to break a window. House sends Big Beautiful Bill to Trump's desk On July 3, the House of Representatives passed the One Big Beautiful Bill to implement President Donald Trump's agenda, sending it to the president's desk, reports The Epoch Times. The bill cleared the House in a 218–214 vote, following an all-night session as Republicans scrambled to win over holdouts who had derailed an earlier attempt to advance the 940-page measure. House Speaker Mike Johnson was exuberant. JOHNSON: “This is the vote tally card. We're gonna frame this one. Okay? 218-214.” The vote also came after Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries held the floor — for what C-SPAN confirmed was a new length record — to lambast the bill for more than eight hours. The only two Republicans who voted against it were Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, alongside the entire House Democratic Caucus. House Speaker Johnson said the Republicans knew they had to get Trump's bill passed in light of the gift of unified government. JOHNSON: “We believed in the election cycle last fall that we were going to be given this great blessing of unified government, that we would have the White House and the Senate and the House aligned -- unified government. “We had a tough four years before this last election cycle. America was in, we were in deep trouble. We knew that if we won, and we believed we would, we knew that if we got unified government, we'd have to quite literally fix every area of public policy. Everything was an absolute disaster under the Biden-Harris radical, woke, progressive Democrat regime.” The legislation enacts many of Trump's domestic policy initiatives, including tax cuts as well as boosting spending for the border and defense. The passage marks a major victory for Republican leadership and Trump, who had to contend with a diverse group of holdouts who objected to the Senate's version of the bill for various reasons, including its effect on the deficit and deeper cuts to Medicaid. House Speaker Johnson, an Evangelical Christian, expressed his gratitude to God. JOHNSON: “We took the best effort that we could, in One Big, Beautiful Bill, to fix as much of it as we could. And I am so grateful to God that we got that done as we did. “I do believe in God. I believe in that motto that is what has made our nation the greatest in the history of the world. And some people shake their heads and they think that's old fashioned or something. That is a fact. “When the framers put this together. They stepped out in faith. They did something that no nation had ever done before. The great statesman, philosopher G.K. Chesterton of Great Britain, said, ‘America is the only nation in the world that was founded upon a creed. And he said it's listed with almost theological lucidity [or clarity] in the nation's birth certificate: the Declaration of Independence.' “We hold these truths to be self-evident. We recognize, we boldly proclaim the self-evident truth that her rights do not come from the government. They come from God Himself.” Psalm 9:1 says, “I will give thanks to You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.” The bill will head to Trump's desk ahead of a self-imposed July 4 deadline. He is expected to sign it at 5 p.m. ET today. 4 killed and 14 wounded in Chicago drive-by at rapper party On Wednesday night, four people died from gunshot wounds and 14 others were hospitalized following a drive-by shooting in Chicago, reports The Associated Press. At least three were in critical condition. Three shooters fired out of the SUV before they drove away. No suspect is in custody. Pastor Donovan Price talked to Channel 8 News. PRICE: “An SUV pulls up and just opens fire on a crowd of people. It was absolute chaos, from people screaming to blood on the streets to people laying on the streets. Just a massive police presence. Horrific. More than I've ever seen.” The shooting took place in Chicago's River North neighborhood, a popular nightlife destination with many restaurants and bars. It was outside a restaurant and lounge that hosted an album release party for a profane rapper named Mello Buckzz, whose actual name is Melanie Doyle. Hip hop lyrics are filled with calls to violence. Ironically, her boyfriend was one of those shot. Thirteen women and five men, ranging in age from 21 to 32, were shot. The dead included two men and two women. On his X account, Pastor Price wrote, “Just sitting in my car crying for some of the people I held tonight.” Psalm 11:5 says, “The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, He hates with a passion.” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said that the violence “has left our city in a state of grief.” RFK Jr. cites link between Hepatitis vaccine and autism Appearing on Tucker Carlson's podcast, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talked about the link between the Hepatitis vaccine for babies and autism, reports LifeSiteNews.com. He referenced a Centers for Disease Control study that was buried. KENNEDY: “They looked at children who had received the hepatitis vaccine within their first 30 days of life, and compared those children to a children who had received the vaccine later or not at all, and they found a 1,135% elevated risk of autism among the vaccinated children. It shocked them. They kept the study secret, and they manipulated it through five different iterations to try to bury the link.” Secretary Kennedy also referenced 100 other studies and the new studies at the Health and Human Services Department which will be completed by September. KENNEDY: “The external literature is showing over 100 studies that indicate that there is a link. “But we're going to do real science. The way that we're going to do that is we're going to make the databases public for the first time. We have already put out grant requests. Any scientists with credentials can apply for a grant and tell us how they want to go about studying these. We're going to get real studies done for the first time.” (You can watch the entire 90-minute interview on a variety of topics here) Worldview listeners in Nicaragua and Mexico speak up And finally, Bob Kelly wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com. He said, “Hello from rural Nicaragua [in Central America,] the 30th most difficult country worldwide to be a Christian, [according to Open Doors.] We like your emphasis on our brothers and sisters who are suffering for Christ.” And Hannah Van Kirk in Mexico said, “My three kids -- Tessa, Reese, and Lincoln -- and I have been listening to The Worldview for a year. We include it as part of our homeschool day. We enjoy the update and prayer reports about the persecuted Christians. And we appreciate that you occasionally suggest that we send get well cards to Christian leaders who are sick or cards of encouragement to others who are standing up against the world. We also enjoy the uplifting stories.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, July 4th, in the year of our Lord 2025.
