Trump blasts Biden in address to the nation. Senior Reporter for The Hill Mike Lillis recaps the 18-minute speech and explains how GOP centrists are helping Democrats defy Mike Johnson on ACA.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports four House Republicans have broken ranks in the ongoing health care saga.

The stunning move comes after House Republican leaders pushed ahead with a health care bill that does not address the soaring monthly premiums that millions of people will soon endure when the tax credits for those who buy insurance through the Affordable Care Act expire at year's end. A measure in the bill withholds 25 percent of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s travel budget until he provides Congress with video of the Sept. 2 operation and other materials related to the Trump administration’s unprecedented campaign against Latin American narcotics traffickers.

Do the rules define you — or do you define your path inside them? Today David Hill talks with Lauren Wittenberg Weiner, bestselling author of Unruly and former CEO of WWC Global, about how entrepreneurs, leaders, and creators can rethink expectations and operate with more freedom. Lauren built a $100M consulting company after being told she "wasn't allowed" to work at her level overseas. That early moment sparked a career shaped by resilience, values, and strategic rule-bending. In this episode, she explains how rule-followers can evolve, how rebels can stay grounded, and how anyone can find space to create something better. Takeaways: • Why so many people feel stuck inside expectations • How to interpret rules instead of being boxed in by them • The difference between challenging limits and crossing lines • How moral grounding changes the way you take risks • Why entrepreneurs must understand the system before bending it • How to use norms and guidelines to your advantage • Why authenticity matters more than approval Guest Bio: Lauren Wittenberg Weiner is a bestselling author, speaker, and one of today's leading voices on leadership, service, and integrity. As the founder and former CEO of WWC Global, she grew one of the nation's top woman-owned national security firms while learning how to question norms without compromising values. Her book, Unruly: Deconstruct the Rules, Defy the Norms, and Define Your Success, empowers people to rethink the way they work, lead, and move through the world.   Connect with Lauren: Instagram: @laurenwittenbergweiner LinkedIn: Lauren Wittenberg Weiner Facebook: Lauren Wittenberg Weiner Connect with David Hill: Website: https://www.davidhill.ai Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidihill/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidihill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DavidHillcoach TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@davidihill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidihill X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/davidihill Listen on Apple & Spotify: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-persistent-entrepreneur/id1081069895

In today's episode, we talk to Representative Jamie Raskin about President Trump's corrupt scheme to gerrymander the 2026 midterms—and about Raskin's new ranked-choice-voting plan. Trump's rage is growing as Indiana Republicans keep resisting his pressure to gerrymander their state, and he exploded in a wild Truth Social rant over the weekend. Yet for now, state Senate Republicans appear dug in. Worse for Trump, other Republicans are now beginning to argue that his scheme is backfiring. Why? Because Trump is hurting Republicans so badly that those whose seats are made somewhat less safe by gerrymandering might now be at risk. Raskin sees an opening to offer another way: Today he's introducing a new bill that would require ranked choice voting in congressional races across the country. He tells us about the proposal, discusses how Trump's gerrymandering chaos shows why ranked-choice is a better alternative, and urges Democrats to fight GOP tactics with hardball of their own.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

ABOUT THE EPISODE:When your child's struggles shatter every paradigm you've held about communication, consciousness, and connection, where do you turn? Today's guest, Betsy Hicks-Russ, found herself navigating this exact terrain as the mother of Joey, a 32-year-old non-speaking autistic man whose journey would ultimately revolutionize her understanding of human potential. Through her discovery of The Telepathy Tapes—a groundbreaking podcast documenting telepathic abilities in non-speaking individuals—Betsy's world transformed from one of perceived limitations to infinite possibilities.Now, while you may not think this episode seems relevant to families navigating substance use challenges, the parallels are more profound than you'd imagine. Both journeys involve watching your child exist in what appears to be an unreachable state, questioning expert opinions that don't align with your intuition, and discovering that behaviors we label as "problems" might actually be sophisticated attempts at regulation and connection. Whether your child is non-speaking or struggling with substances, the path forward often requires releasing control, working on your own healing, and trusting that beneath the visible challenges lies a soul seeking authentic connection—just perhaps through unconventional channels.In this truly riveting conversation, Betsy shares the profound shift that occurred when she learned her son wasn't trapped in silence but was actually part of what she calls "the telepathic tribe"—individuals who communicate through frequency rather than words. Her evolution from believing experts who said Joey "wasn't there" to recognizing him as a spiritually advanced being holding space for humanity's awakening offers a radical reframe for how we perceive our children's challenges. This isn't just about autism or telepathy—it's about the courage to question everything you've been told about your child's capabilities and to trust the deeper knowing that whispers beneath conventional wisdom.

In this episode, we investigate the disappearances and violent encounters that point to something far darker than folklore. From unexplained vanishing points to witnesses claiming they saw non-human shapes watching from the treeline, these cases blur the line between true crime and cryptid terror. Are these missing persons victims of nature… or predators that shouldn't exist? We break down the sightings, the evidence, and the chilling patterns behind the mysterious creatures, monster legends, and unsolved crimes that authorities refuse to explain.

Democrat lawmakers — including Sen. Mark Kelly and Rep. Elissa Slotkin — have now released a shocking video urging members of the U.S. military to defy orders from President Donald J. Trump. Yes. You read that correctly. The same party that screamed about “insurrection” for four straight years is now openly encouraging the military to disobey the Commander-in-Chief — the literal definition of a military coup.▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶Support the Channel and Buy us a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/professornez#democrats #trumpnews #trumpnewstoday

Democrats in Congress are now cutting slick videos aimed straight at America's men and women in uniform, hinting they should refuse “illegal orders” from a second President Trump. Todd breaks down the new clip featuring Rep Jason Crow and others, why Martha MacCallum's simple question about “which orders” left Crow scrambling, and how the left keeps feeding a dangerous narrative that Trump is a dictator and MAGA is the new Nazi movement. We walk through what the Constitution actually says about the commander in chief, the difference between an unlawful order and a political disagreement, and why winning at the ballot box is still the only real way to stop this madness. Plus, a look ahead to Todd's favorite show of the year — the true story of Thanksgiving.

In the war for control and consolidation of the hemisphere, China, the Democrats, the cartels, Mexico, Venezuela and the Bushes are on one side, Trump and most Americans on the other.

War Room WH Press Sec. Goes NUCLEAR On Dems Urging US Military to DEFY Trump's Orders, As Trump Floats Execution as Punishment for Sedition…Plus, Secret Border Patrol Program Monitors Millions of Drivers to Catch Illegals

A group of Democrat lawmakers with military backgrounds released a video urging service members to "refuse illegal orders," sparking backlash from conservatives who claim it's a call to defy President Trump. Posted by Sen. Elissa Slotkin, the video warns of threats to the Constitution "from right here at home." Slotkin and colleagues have also introduced legislation to limit Trump's authority over the National Guard and military actions, but that context is absent from the video titled "Don't Give Up the Ship."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Trump is poised to authorize CIA plans for covert action in Venezuela. At the same time, a group of Democrats put out a video urging the military to ignore Trump's orders that they claim are illegal. Glenn breaks down the Democrats' real motive for the video. Stu and Glenn react to Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D), who was texting with Epstein during a congressional hearing, somehow avoiding censure. Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) made a big move yesterday by designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as terrorist organizations. Glenn breaks down the history of these groups and why this decision was long overdue. Why do leftists single out AIPAC while ignoring all the other foreign lobby organizations?

After almost a year of Trump stonewalling about the Epstein files, Republicans in the House finally took a stand against him. More than a hundred Republican members were prepared to vote for releasing the files. Facing a dramatic defeat, on Sunday night Trump caved, and Tuesday the vote in the House was nearly unanimous. John Nichols has our analysis.Also: The Americans who fought in World War II have been called “the greatest generation,” but historian David Nasaw argues that it's more appropriate to regard them as “the wounded generation.” That's the title of his new book about vets coming home after WWIIOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/THENATIONAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Lauren Wittenberg Weiner is a speaker, business therapist, and bestselling author of Unruly: Deconstruct the Rules, Defy the Norms, and Define Your Success. In this episode, Lauren shares the pivotal moment that crystallized her unruly philosophy. When told she couldn't do something, she learned to transform that doubt into motivation rather than letting it paralyze her. She explains how reframing negative feedback as challenge fuel drives her leadership. Lauren explains the difference between gatekeepers who clone themselves and gateways who open doors. She tackles the transactional trap and why building an unconditionally supportive village matters more than networking scores. Lauren discusses managing multiple demanding roles through ruthless curation of priorities. She emphasizes that priorities must be constantly reassessed as circumstances change. Listen to this episode to learn how breaking free from conventional expectations can lead to more authentic success and fulfillment in both leadership and life. You can find episode 486 on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube | Lauren Wittenberg Weiner on Unruly: Deconstruct the Rules, Defy the Norms, and Define Your Success https://bit.ly/TLP-486 Key Takeaways [02:36] Lauren reveals she almost joined the circus as a dancer between college and graduate school after a friend who was a trapeze artist convinced her. [04:09] Lauren explains the philosophy of "unruly" crystallized over many years, starting when she was a "good girl" who did everything expected of her. [09:12] Lauren discusses her "prove me wrong" attitude, explaining she reframes negative feedback as a challenge rather than trying to forget it, using research about not thinking about a white bear. [13:09] Lauren outlines her three-step framework: know the rules, find the space between them, and change them when needed. [15:42] Lauren clarifies she's "not a big believer in breaking the rules" but rather in knowing what rules say, finding space within them, and changing them consciously and thoughtfully when they don't work. [22:16] Lauren describes the shift from leaders being "gatekeepers" who pick people who look and think like them to being "gateways" that allow different people to prove they're qualified. [25:28] Lauren discusses transactional versus non-transactional relationships, and emphasizes the importance of having an "unconditionally supportive village" of people who pick you up when you're down and cheer for you unconditionally when you succeed. [29:23] Lauren explains how redefining luck as preparation influenced their breakthrough when winning a $200 million SOCOM contract, saying "we didn't get lucky, we were prepared." [33:48] Lauren discusses "ruthless curation" of priorities as an iterative process, using the example of her kids being a priority but their spirit week costumes not being her priority. [37:54] Lauren advises her 35-year-old self to "stop worrying about what anyone else thinks, figure out what you want" and own your decisions without feeling guilty. [40:25] And remember…"Never assume you can't do something. Push yourself to redefine the boundaries." - Brian Chesky Quotable Quotes "Just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to." "You can't hack your own psychology. You can't stop doing what your brain is going to make you do, but you can move around it and understand it and use it to your own advantage." "It's not about bringing people in that aren't qualified. It's about allowing people to show that they're qualified, even if they don't look or think or have gone on the exact same trajectory that everyone who came before did." "Transactional begets transactional and non transactional begets non transactional." "You've gotta have the same people who will pick you up when you're down and who will cheer for you unconditionally when you make it." "Stop worrying about what anyone else thinks, figure out what you want." "Nobody else gets to define for you what makes sense for you, but then own your decisions."
