July 14, 2025 - Business Council of New York State Vice President Ken Pokalsky reflects on the manufacturing landscape in the Empire State and considers why the industry looks the way it does.

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – New York has developed a severe case of ‘the munchies for money' ever since recreational marijuana use became legal. The Empire State's budget projects generating $248 million in revenue from the state-licensed cannabis industry for the next fiscal year, running from April 2025 to March 31, 2026. Clearly, the decriminalization of this drug throughout the state has led to...

BT and Sal dive headfirst into the heated New York baseball trade deadline, dissecting what the Mets and Yankees desperately need and who will be more aggressive in acquiring it. While the Yankees are reportedly eyeing a third baseman and pitching help, the Mets, fueled by Steve Cohen's willingness to spend and a deeper prospect pool, are expected to make bigger splashes for a center fielder, bullpen arms, and potentially another starter, intensifying the crosstown rivalry as both teams battle for the same high-impact targets.

BT and Sal launch into a fiery discussion about the alarming downward spiral of both the New York Yankees and Mets. They dissect the fundamental flaws plaguing each team, with the Yankees struggling to hit consistently and exhibiting late-game ineptitude, while the Mets are experiencing a complete offensive collapse and a bullpen that's become a "massive problem." Both hosts express frustration and concern that these issues are deeper than just a "funk," with Sal particularly astonished by the Mets' sudden and dramatic fall from grace, and both questioning whether the front offices will make the necessary "difference-making" moves to pull their respective teams out of this alarming freefall.

Today on America in the Morning Israel-Iran Ceasefire President Trump announced a ceasefire between what he called the 12-Day War between Israel and Iran.  However, as John Stolnis reports from Washington, Iran carried out a missile attack on the US base in Qatar before the announced ceasefire, air raid sirens wailed in Israel after the announcement, and Iran says they will only stop if Israel ends the fighting.   Nation's Heatwave The first major heatwave of summer is baking the Midwest and East Coast of the US, with major cities including New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC seeing 100 degree temperatures, and a total of 28 states contend with a heatwave. SCOTUS OK's Trump Deportation Plan The Supreme Court on Monday granted the Trump administration's request to suspend a lower court injunction blocking them from deporting individuals to third countries without prior notice.  Correspondent Haya Panjwani reports it's a big win for President Trump to quickly enforce its immigration policies.    Nuclear New York They haven't built a nuclear power plant in New York in a generation.  Correspondent Julie Walker reports the Empire State's governor wants to build a nuclear facility that could power one million homes.   Primary Day In NYC More than a dozen Democrat candidates are on the ballot to become the next mayor of New York City, with the primary today and a ranked-choice voting system along voters to rank up to 5 candidates.    Fixing Florida's Condo Crisis With increased assessments and ballooning fees, Florida has been facing a condo crisis for the past two years.  However, as correspondent Lisa Dwyer reports, a new bill signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis will give condo associations more flexibility, and condo owners more time to deal with costly repair bills.      Latest In The Middle East President Trump announced that Israel and Iran have agreed to a phased-in ceasefire, which came within hours of an Iranian missile salvo against a US base in Qatar, an attack that happened after Qatar's government was notified of in advance by Iran, and thwarted by missile defense systems.  Correspondent Haya Panjwani reports . Iran's Missile Attack On Qatar The Israel-Iran ceasefire comes after Iran fired six to 10 short-range missiles at a US base in Qatar, the same number of missiles equal to the number of bunker-busting bombs dropped by US forces against Iranian nuclear facilities.  Ed Donahue reports on the initial reaction to the missiles fired at Qatar, and reaction by Democrats who believe the president should have sought congressional support for the use of military force against Iran.   IAEA's Response To US Attack On Iran In the aftermath of the American military action against Iran, the International Atomic Energy Agency says U.S. strikes on a major Iran nuclear plant were highly effective.  Correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports the European Union, which continues to deal with the situation in Ukraine, have a vested interest in the latest developments in the Middle East and Iran.   Abbott Vetoes Texas THC Ban A veto by the Governor of Texas is sparking further debate over T-H-C in the Lone Star State.  Correspondent Clayton Neville reports.   Fixing Health Claims A new day appears on the horizon in navigating the tricky and often confusing process of filing health insurance claims for millions of Americans.  Correspondent Bob Brown has details.   Abortions Increase Even though more states tightened abortion restrictions, a new report shows the number of abortions has increased.  Lisa Dwyer reports.   Finally   More is being learned about the man who attempted to open fire at a church service in Michigan over the weekend.  Correspondent Julie Walker reports the man, who was stopped by church parishioners, was the troubled son of a woman who attended services in the town of Wayne.

It's Wednesday, June 18th, 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 and Adam McManus Pakistani Muslims level false accusations against Christians Muslims in Pakistan are using the country's blasphemy laws to target religious minorities. Human Rights Watch released a report on the issue, entitled, “A Conspiracy to Grab the Land: Exploiting Pakistan's Blasphemy Laws for Blackmail and Profit.” For example, Christians experience false accusations of blasphemy against Islam. Locals then weaponize the accusations by inciting mob violence against Christians and seizing their property.  Sadly, the government does little to nothing about such attacks. Pakistan is ranked eighth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.  Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Trump warns Iranian civilians to evacuate Tehran U.S. President Donald Trump called for Iranian civilians to evacuate their capital city of Tehran this week as fighting between Israel and Iran escalates.  And yesterday, he wrote on Truth Social, “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader' is hiding.  ... We are not going to take him out. ... at least not for now. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.” A senior White House official told Fox News that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are on the table.  Supreme Court: Religious groups cannot be compelled to fund abortion On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower court ruling that had previously forced religious groups to fund abortions. The state of New York required groups, including churches, to cover abortions in their health insurance plans for employees. Religious groups have been challenging the policy for years. Attorney Noel Francisco commented on the case. He said, “Religious groups in the Empire State should not be forced to provide insurance coverage that violates their deeply held religious beliefs. We are confident that New York will finally get the message and stop discriminating against religious objectors.” House voted to cut $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting The U.S. House of representatives narrowly passed a measure to cut $9 billion in funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting.  The House approved the legislation by a vote of 214-212 last Thursday.  House Speaker Mike Johnson commented, “It is just one of the ways Republicans are codifying DOGE's findings and putting taxpayer dollars to better use.” The bill faces an uncertain future in the U.S. Senate. Children's Hospital in Los Angeles closes its transgender center The Children's Hospital in Los Angeles recently announced it will close its so-called “Center for Transyouth Health and Development” next month.  The center performed sex mutilating surgeries and offered puberty-blocking drugs to children.  The announcement follows an executive order from President Trump that bans federal funding for transgender operations for minors. Alabama has most people with Biblical worldview; Rhode Island the least Dr. George Barna released a new report on the worldview of Americans ranked by state. The report notes that only 4% of U.S. adults hold to a Biblical worldview. However, that number varies by state. The states with the highest proportion of adults with a Biblical worldview are Alabama at 12.6%, Mississippi at 12.5%, South Carolina at 9.8%, and Arkansas at 9%. States with the least proportion of adults with a Biblical worldview are Rhode Island at 0.25%, Maine at 1.1%, Nebraska at 1.5% and Massachusetts at 1.8%.  Even though states like Alabama and Mississippi have a higher incidence of adults with a Biblical worldview, Dr. Barna noted, “In absolute terms, every state in the union is failing miserably at developing the biblical worldview among its residents.” Isaiah 55:7 says, “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” Worldview listeners in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Kentucky share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts — along with your full name, city and state — and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Barabara Resheske in Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin wrote, “I read every word of The Worldview transcript because it confirms my belief that the world is in turmoil, but Christ is in control. I pray when you request prayers for the persecuted. I thank you for telling us what the mass media doesn't.  Indeed, I thank you for truth, honesty, and transparency.” Ruth Stapp in Edmond, Oklahoma wrote, “I love The Worldview and look forward to seeing it every day. Your information is exactly what I need. I do not enjoy watching the news on TV because of the bias and lies. Plus, your newscast gives me an opportunity to delve further into any of the stories that spark my interest through the links you provide.”  And Daniel Wojnicki in Louisville, Kentucky. wrote,  “I enjoy that The Worldview gives facts and news insights all in one short newscast. Because it's a Christian news source, there is no distortion of the truth.  Being informed about the truth is very rare these days, especially in an age ruled by corrupted news anchors.” 8 Worldview listeners gave $3,022 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $92,625 goal by this Friday, June 20th  to fund three-quarters of The Worldview newscast's annual budget for our 6-member team, 8  listeners stepped up to the plate as of 4:00pm Central yesterday afternoon. Our thanks to Margaret in Raleigh, North Carolina who gave $25 and Jessica in Delmar, Maryland who gave $50. We're grateful to God for Mandy in Walpole, New Hampshire and Max in Macon, Georgia – both of whom gave $200 as well as Rose in Everson, Washington who gave $247. And we were touched by the generosity of Carlee in Keswick Ridge, New Brunswick, Canada who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Susan in San Antonio, Texas who gave $1,000, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who gave $1,000 to match Susan's gift. Those 8 Worldview listeners gave a total of $3,022. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $46,896.70 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   Toward this Friday, June 20th's goal of $92,625, we need to raise $45,728.30. Remember, if you are one of the final 2 people who will give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift of his own.  I am wondering if there are two businesspeople in our listening audience  – two -- who would consider a generous $10,000 matching gift if 5 other listeners gave a one-time gift of $2,000. If you are one of those 2 businesspeople, please email me at adam@TheWorldview.com and include your phone number so we can chat. I need to find 20 Worldview listeners who will pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And another 40 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300.

Fishkill wants water, sewer and smaller units New York State is reworking its development plans for the former Downstate Correctional Facility just outside of Beacon, including a 15 percent reduction in housing at the 80-acre site, after negotiations with the Town of Fishkill. Supervisor Ozzy Albra said in an email to residents on May 30 that he and other officials have met with Empire State Development and Conifer Realty twice since the state awarded development rights to the Rochester firm. The result of those meetings, he said, is that the mixed-use development will have about 1,100 housing units, 200 fewer than first reported. The town is also pushing for municipal benefits such as the extension of water and sewer facilities to the site, Albra said. The state development agency announced in June 2024 that Conifer, which has offices in New York, New Jersey and Maryland, had been selected to convert the former maximum-security prison into a residential campus with community space. The project was said to support Gov. Kathy Hochul's campaign to build 15,000 housing units to address a statewide shortage, as well as recommendations made by the Prison Redevelopment Commission, an advisory panel the governor created to consider repurposing closed prisons. The first phase of construction in 2026 was to include 375 housing units, with at least 20 percent set aside for households earning less than 80 percent of the area's annual median income ($97,056). Albra at the time called the idea a "bad deal for the taxpayers" that, if built as proposed, would overwhelm Fishkill. A Conifer representative this week confirmed the reduction in housing units. Muammar Hermanstyne, its vice president of development, said in an email that Conifer had signed a contract with New York State "giving us site control." If a preliminary proposal is approved, he said, Conifer could bring an application to the Fishkill Planning Board as early as this fall. Hermanstyne did not respond when asked who would need to approve the preliminary proposal, writing only that Conifer looks forward "to providing more details as we continue working with the community and local officials." An Empire State Development representative seemed to contradict part of Hermanstyne's statement, calling Conifer the project's "conditional designee." The company is finalizing a development plan with Empire State and the Town of Fishkill, "at which point a binding development agreement can be executed," the spokesperson said. Until them, the state's request for proposals at the site "will continue to be an open procurement." Hermanstyne said Conifer has agreed to limit construction to 2½-story buildings because the nearest fire department, in Glenham, does not have a ladder truck. In a statement released last year, the Glenham Fire District, which for years served Downstate prison through a contract with New York State, said its boundaries would need to be expanded to include the redeveloped site. The department relied on tanker trucks because the surrounding homes use wells for their water, while Beacon provided water and sewer service at the prison. Until Conifer and the state "figure out proper fire coverage," the project "isn't going to go anywhere," Albra said on June 3. In addition to asking New York State to extend municipal water and sewer service to the site, the supervisor said he will advocate specialized housing, such as for seniors or veterans, and smaller units, to keep from overwhelming Glenham Elementary, which is part of the Beacon City School District. In a letter to Hochul last July, the Beacon school board said its four elementary schools, including Glenham, are "already at or near capacity." While the district lost 675 students between the 2012-13 and 2023-24 academic years, according to state data, recent initiatives to reduce class sizes would suffer from a sudden influx of students, officials said. Citing Hochul's support of walkable communities, Fishkill al...

BEST OF: A recent article form the New York Time compared AI to the shoggoth of H.P. Lovecraft - monstrous beings of black protoplasm, bred as slaves that eventually develop brains of their own. An article from 2017 in MIT Technology Review compared AI to the black cube of Saturn. AI is also really good at doing one specific thing and that is creating Lovecraftian monsters. In the Watchmen comicbook series, Adrian Veidt, also known as Ozymandias, attempts to unite the US and USSR against a common enemy to avoid nuclear war. As opposed to the movie version wherein Doctor Manhattan is scapegoated, in the comic Adriam Veldt used advanced genetic engineering technology to create a giant monster from outer space. The monster is a squid, and as the plan proceeds he teleports the monster through a gateway into New York City. A 2022 promotion for the show Stranger Things lit up the Empire State building, along with others around the world, with a portal to the Upside Down. The recent wildfires from Canada that dumped smoke and particulate on New York City create a background similar to the tv show promotion. In fact, the ad this time was for the game Diablo IV. It feature the Queen of Succubi, Lilith, with a caption and date that read “Welcome to Hell, New York” - 6/6/23. New York is also home to a Ruth Bader Ginsburg statue featuring Lilith's horns and tentacle arms. Lilith is the mother of all demons, the tempter of men, and aborter of children. It is therefore appropriate that NYC's One World Trade building was lit up pink to celebrate abortion rights in 2019. Lilith also wears a rainbow necklace, an outward projection of her disdain for God's promise to never flood the earth and kill innocence. In reliefs, Lilith is shown with the legs of a serpent, with two guardian owls that guard her dominion. She haunts in dreams and from the Upside Down. It is from this realm that Gordie Rose, founder of D-Wave, said that quantum computing will summon what he compared to the visions of H.P. Lovecraft: “And these things we're summoning into the world now, are not demons, they're not evil, they're more like the Lovecraftian great ‘old ones'. These entities are not necessarily going to be aligned with what we want.” The 1920 a movie ALGOL, about an alien giving advanced technology to humans, essentially became the base for modern algorithms starting with ALGOL 60 and 58. Technology that led to the atomic bomb also acts as a sort of trigger to open the gateway and summon the Old Ones. Algol is known as the blinking demon star and AI is essential this - A Eye.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

New York Medicaid has made some big bets on social care recently, and Amir Bassiri is here to answer all our questions. The bold new program centers on nine new regional networks that will be hubs for community organizations offering housing, food and other services. Will this program survive the new administration? Only time will tell. We discuss:The state's ambitious plan to screen every Medicaid enrollee for health-related social needsHow their approach differs from the social care strategies in NC and CAThe ticking clock: New York's critical three-year window to demonstrate cost savings and improved care outcomesAmir says he's hoping negotiating with the Trump administration goes better than last time:“We will have to negotiate our demonstration or the renewal of our demonstration with the current administration. The waiver does expire in 27. We have to renew it beginning one year prior to its conclusion, which means we will be negotiating with the Trump administration on our waiver. We've done that before, it did not work out well. “Relevant LinksWatch Amir's talk at the 2024 Medicaid Conference Get more background on 1115 waivers Read more information about New York's 1115 waiverAbout Our GuestAmir Bassiri, MSW (he, him, his) is the Medicaid Director for the New York State Department of Health.

The complete story of American imperialism is missing from our history books. On this week's On the Media, how the United States worked to capture territory and expand power, while preaching democracy and freedom. [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with historian Daniel Immerwahr, on the hidden history of the United States empire. For Americans, empire often means economic and military power abroad, or CIA coups in Central America–not British-style imperialism. But the American empire was — and in some ways continues to be — a lot closer than most people realize. Immerwahr explains the role of guano — bird poop — in launching America's overseas empire, and the legal, political and social clashes that ensued.[17:57] Host Brooke Gladstone continues her conversation with historian Daniel Immerwahr, exploring why, at the dawn of the last century, the arguments over imperialism didn't end with poets like Rudyard Kipling and writers like Mark Twain. How should the adolescent U.S., big-headed about its democratic values, grapple with capturing territory? Immerwahr explains how this vital debate blazed across America's consciousness like a comet, then vanished just as quickly.[34:47] Host Brooke Gladstone and historian Daniel Immerwahr conclude their conversation, discussing how, after World War II, global anti-colonial sentiment (combined with less dependence on natural resources) led to a shrinking of America's physical empire. But the American empire didn't disappear — it merely changed form. This originally aired in our April 5, 2019 program, “Empire State of Mind.”Further reading/listening/watching:How To Hide An Empire: A History of the Greater United States, by Daniel Immerwahr On the Media is supported by listeners like you.
