"I can't sell Harman because there's a dealer too close to me, but I'd donate a kidney and my firstborn to get it." In this episode, Tim sits down with Dane Harman, Karen Harman-Smeltz, and Peter Parsons to trace how a burn pot rooted in anthracite coal became the backbone of one of the hearth industry's most beloved pellet stoves—and what it takes to keep innovating decades later. Dane built Harman Stoves into a legend, Karen carried its values forward, and Peter built a pellet market from almost nothing on an island ninety miles out in the Atlantic. In this episode, Tim, Dane, Karen, and Peter cover: - Why Dane's 1991 Pellet Pro feeder still works today—and how a coal-pushing block evolved into a laser-cut slide plate that runs entirely on temperature. - The real difference between a private company's "right" decision and a public one's—and why a profitable model can still get killed to protect a stock price. - Whether tightening EPA regulations actually force better stoves or just strip the fun out of innovation—and where diminishing returns turn good intentions into expensive ones. Don't miss the moment Dane explains why deciding—truly deciding—pulls a whole team behind you, because this conversation about fire, family, and pressure-fueled innovation will change how you think about building anything worth keeping. —— Links from this episode: Big Enough: Building a Business that Scales with Your Lifestyle https://a.co/d/0e8WRuD7 Fire Time Podcast Q&A Episode http://itsfiretime.com/ask —— Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nXru0bLymCQ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fire-time-podcast/id1433804268 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vHdzg48bE5qFf0KjMeMej?si=7b6cae3923d348f2 Read The Fire Time Magazine: https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine Subscribe to The Fire Time Magazine: https://itsfiretime.com/subscribe Support The Fire Time Podcast financially: https://www.itsfiretime.com/join

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #254 Rick Patterson CCRKBA Board Member & Liberty's Keystone   It's nice to be able to film a show that isn't too far from home. Rick Patterson is only in Connecticut. He's a board member of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. And he owns Liberty's Keystone. We had an interesting conversation about some of the goings on on the international level of firearms.    Rick has been involved with the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the CCRKBA, and even the SAAMI. Before all of that, he started off in the oil business. Hoping to be the VP of the company, he was passed over when the spot came open. A family member saw the ad for the NSSF job and he applied. Having the position filled already, he didn't get that job. But with his experience in environmental compliance, business planning, and whatnot, they had a position dealing with shooting ranges and offered that to him. Fortunately, he was a good fit and took this job.    While at NSSF, Rick was involved in creating their shooting range program, the 5-star shooting program, the Where To Shoot website. He also worked with the EPA and OSHA on lead management. While the Violence Prevention Center was out trying to shut ranges down with accusations of lead poisoning, his team worked to put together the science behind metallic lead in soils and a management plan.    Over the years, ranges were considered successful if they had a good number of members and raised money for their range and cause. But it's important for ranges to have plans to keep the range around for generations. The things Rick's team worked on changed how that was done and how it was developed.    Some of the stories Rick shares are about how local towns wanted to stop an indoor range. So the community pushed to have the parking lot be totally covered with double bullet proof protection and entirely covered. The issue with that is it will now be cost prohibitive to have a parking lot that way, thus not being able to build the range since it didn't meet the requirements the town wanted. Of course, there are people that will bring an entire unused cartridge into the police station and say it landed on their property just like that therefore the range must be shut down.    The executive director of SAAMI opened up and Rick was able to get that position. At the same time, the UN was getting involved with gun control. Under Rick's leadership, he was able to get NGO status for SAAMI and was able to have some input on topics that concerned firearms.    Some of the conversation was about Germany pushing for serialization of ammunition. One German company who had a patent on serialization was pushing for that to happen. But they didn't have to figure out how it's supposed to work, they just declare that it needs to be done. And that will be someone else's problem to figure out the solution.   Rick is a very knowledgeable man who has done many things with the groups and the UN. There's two sides to the UN, there's one side dealing with regulations and one that deals with politics. Eventually, the UN realized that even if firearms production ended and no one made another gun, there are going to be millions of them around for a long time. So they need to change their tactic and approach to going after something like ammunition.    We talked about the small arms treaty and other things at the international level, shipping regulated materials around the world, and much more. It was a very interesting conversation. There's so much more to what is going on than people know or even realize. We've got someone like Rick on our side, who understands how these things work. And he's worked hard to keep things going for us and our firearms.  Favorite quotes: "Sometimes success is just being able to stall it out before you get some draconian law passed." "A successful range is one that's here today, tomorrow, next week, next generation, serving the shooting public." "The countries that are the biggest offenders of the arms deals are not party to it."

He also discusses the importance of meaningful training, the need to attract and prepare the next generation of workers and why industry-recognized credentials help demonstrate the expertise required to perform demolition work safely and effectively.

At POLITICO's Energy Summit, Dasha presses EPA administrator Lee Zeldin on rising gas prices, the war in Iran, Trump's energy dominance agenda, coal, AI data centers, and whether the EPA has a responsibility to address climate change. Zeldin defends his approach, arguing that the EPA can protect the environment while growing the economy and rejects the idea that his agency should lead the fight against climate change – unless Congress tells him to.

Ralph talks to journalist and M.Div. Chris Hedges about Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence. Then, Ralph speaks with Rick Engler (former member of the US Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigation Board) about Trump's proposed closing of that agency. Finally, Ralph pays tribute to some recently departed friends.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.I think that Pope Leo kind of missed the point of AI. In that he describes that it could be a positive force for Catholic education (these are his words), compassionate health care, creative platforms that tell the Christian story with truth and beauty. I think those were all indications to me that he didn't quite understand what AI is about. It's not about education, it's not about compassion, it's not about truth, and it's not about beauty. It is a very pernicious force that will go beyond, of course, replacing all sorts of labor, but creating a world where fact and fiction are blurred together.Chris HedgesI think that mass organization is kind of all we have left as we barrel towards an authoritarian state. Congress doesn't function, certainly doesn't function as Congress was designed to function. They have surrendered their traditional constitutional authority, including, of course, the call for Congress to declare war. And this kind of unitary executive branch—this was put into place, by the way, before Trump. He's just taken advantage of it…And I think that it's absolutely fundamental that we recapture that kind of militancy, that kind of organized workforce that has traditionally throughout our history been such an important corrective to democracy—along with, of course, journalism.Chris HedgesRick Engler is a former U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board member and labor advocate who founded the New Jersey Work Environment Council. He has advocated for successful landmark state and national public policies that ensure workers and the public's “right to know” about potential chemical dangers, and that promote safer processes, chemical incident prevention, and whistleblower protection.The CSB is unique. I mean, nobody would think of abolishing the National Transportation Safety Board. And no one should think about abolishing the Chemical Safety Board, which does the same thing. It's not about issuing, in this case, fines or violations. It's about trying to understand the underlying causes of what led to these incidents.Rick Engler[Trump's allies] have a certain religious fervor about this. When I talk to plant managers, the plant managers of the corporations are much more careful and nuanced in most cases. They don't want their own plants to explode. But somewhere at the higher corporate levels, I think they're just willing to take the risks that the tradeoff for them is: Trump is supporting them in so many ways, why interfere? Why become part of some nuanced opposition to the most extreme EPA attacks? But I do think the elimination of the CSB is driven by the Trump administration in a way that wouldn't be happening if it was just left to the chemical industry trade associations alone. I'm not sure that's an adequate answer. I'm actually kind of puzzled by it. Because it's also really clear that if there was any one major incident, it would cost so much money—not only in the human tragedy of the lives lost and neighbors harmed and evacuations and shelter-in-place and property damage, but these incidents destroy facilities.Rick EnglerNews 6/12/26* Our top stories this week come to us from California, where, after an excruciatingly protracted wait, authorities have finally called some of the most high-profile races. In Los Angeles, Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has secured the second slot in the mayoral race, beating out reactionary former reality television star Spencer Pratt, PBS reports. Pratt garnered significant attention from conservative media for his slick AI-generated ads and his false claims about living in an airstream trailer after his LA home burned down in the recent fires. In actuality, he was living in the posh Bel Air hotel, billed as a campaign expense, per TMZ. Now the question becomes whether or not Raman will be able to expand her coalition to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.* If Raman's victory is the good news however, the bad news is that Trump-endorsed Republican Steve Hilton will advance in the gubernatorial race. He will face off against former California Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, who has accepted large campaign contributions from the California Association of Realtors, the California Medical Association and even Chevron, per CalMatters. This outcome means progressive billionaire Tom Steyer will not advance. Many are placing the blame for this on former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who remained in the race despite clearly failing to achieve any real viability throughout the race. This has drawn comparisons to Elizabeth Warren's perceived role as a spoiler candidate vis-a-vis Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Primary, particularly since Porter is a highly visible protégé of Senator Warren. In his concession speech, Steyer closed by telling his supporters “Pay attention. Know what you deserve, and know who is on your side. Understand who the villains are, and say their names out loud. Continue to demand more from your leaders and your government, until they give you the California – and the country – you know you deserve. I will be with you all the way.”* Elsewhere in California however, progressives scored major victories. In California's 22nd congressional district, Bernie Sanders-backed Randy Villegas secured a spot in the top two, beating out his opponent Jasmine Bains, who enjoyed the backing of AIPAC and 53 corporate donors, according to the American Prospect. He will face Republican incumbent Congressman David Valadao in November. Even more impressive is the victory of progressive challenger Mai Vang in California's 7th district primary, where she actually emerged as the top vote getter, beating out longtime incumbent Congresswoman Doris Matsui. However, because Matsui, who is 81 years old, won the second-most votes, she will still advance to the general election.* Another much-anticipated primary was held this week on the exact other end of the country. In Maine, Graham Platner trounced his opponents in the Democratic Senate race, winning over 70% of the vote despite a concerted campaign against him in the national press. In his victory speech, CNN reports Platner wrote off the smears, saying “They don't know Maine.” Furthermore, he said “If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics, and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change…To all those who feel let down, disappointed, or disillusioned. It is my job to earn your trust, your faith, and your support. And I will spend every day of this campaign, and if I have the privilege, every day in the United States Senate, doing exactly that.” Platner will face off against five-term incumbent Senator Susan Collins in a race that will be decisive if Democrats are to have any chance of retaking the Senate in the 2026 midterms.* Turning towards the plains, two candidates are starting to show a surprising level of viability in heavily Republican, rural states. First, in Idaho, Todd Achilles is running as an independent against Republican incumbent Senator Jim Risch. Achilles served as a tank commander and armor officer in the Army before a varied career in the corporate world, education and now politics, according to Independent Voter News. The most striking development in this race is a new poll showing that while “Achilles starts out…behind by 14 points at 48-34…once voters hear biographical information about him and negative messaging about Senator Risch, he gains a full 17 points…[leading] Risch, 41% to 38%.” If accurate, this would be a stunningly close race in a state where registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats by a margin greater than 5-to-1.* In South Dakota, Brian Bengs, another veteran turned educator – turned, in this case, National Park Ranger – is running shockingly close to incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. According to the South Dakota Standard, the latest polling shows Rounds leading Bengs 44% to 40%, with 16% undecided. Moreover, like the Achilles poll, when voters are given biographical information about Bengs and negative messaging about Senator Rounds, that margin flips to 44% in favor of Bengs, compared to just 42% for Rounds. If these polls are accurate and independent candidates – not just Achilles and Bengs but also Dan Osborn in Nebraska and Seth Bodnar in Montana – prove viable, perhaps even victorious, in states long seen as out of reach for non-Republicans, there will have to be a serious reckoning with the toxicity of the Democratic Party brand in the American heartland.* In Michigan, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has picked up perhaps the most critical possible endorsement in the state: that of the United Auto Workers. In a statement, the union wrote that “UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn't afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity…From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.” Whether because of this endorsement or not, El-Sayed now seems to be in the driver's seat in this primary. This endorsement dovetails with UAW President Shawn Fain's rumored frustration with the mainstream labor movement for not doing more to back labor candidates, such as Clare Valdez in New York, who was a UAW organizer before entering the State Assembly.* On the House floor meanwhile, lame-duck dissident Republican Congressman Thomas Massie delivered a barn-burner of a speech this week, demanding that the government reopen the investigation into the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Al Jazeera reports. The attack on the Liberty, a US Navy vessel, killed 34 service members and injured 171 others. For decades, Israel has claimed that this was nothing more than an accidental incident of friendly fire, but the surviving veterans have long disputed this explanation, contending that it was a deliberate attack, either as a “false flag operation or because they simply didn't want anybody observing what they were doing that day.” Massie called on the House to “give them closure…It's long overdue. And then they can have their justice.”* Looking to Latin America, the presidential election in Peru is, predictably, coming down to a razor thin margin, WLRN reports. This race, between left-wing Senator Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, perennial presidential candidate and daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, currently stands at 50.004% for Fujimori and 49.996% for Sánchez, with 98.258% of the votes tabulated. Sánchez was favored to win after the in-country votes were counted, then Fujimori pulled ahead when the votes from Miami came in, other absentee votes eroded that margin and gave Sánchez the edge once again but Fujimori has yet again pulled ahead by a hair. This is Fujimori's fourth presidential campaign, making it to the runoff each time but ultimately losing by the narrowest of margins.* Finally, in Colombia, Progressive International reports that while Colombian President Gustavo Petro presides at the United Nations Security Council, “conservative forces in the country's legislature have conspired against the constitution to ‘SUSPEND' his presidency — just 11 days from the run-off presidential election.” While Reuters adds that the proposal must be “debated and approved by all ‌16 ⁠members of the [legislative Commission of Investigation and ​Accusation] and subsequently by the Senate before it can take effect,” it is hard to see this as anything besides an opportunistic grab for power while the proverbial cat is away. Petro's four-year term ends in August; the runoff in the presidential election, between leftist Ivan Cepeda and right-wing lawyer Abelardo ​De La Espriella, will be held on ​June 21st.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, were built to last. So, beginning in the late 1920's billions of pounds of it were produced across the country for use in construction materials, plastics and consumer goods. But over the next 50 years, evidence that PCBs were actually toxic began to mount, and the EPA eventually banned its production in 1979. That's when the cleanup started…and when Scot Meisenheimer's medical nightmares began. Tamia Fowkles, a Public Investigator, and Caitlin Looby, a Great Lakes and Environment Reporter, both with The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, have spent the last two years investigating the cleanup and the consequences for contractors like Meisenheimer. They join The Excerpt to share their exclusive reporting.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

Renay sits down with Leonard E. Robinson — over forty-five years in environmental management, appointee under four California governors, former Acting Director and Chief Deputy Director of California's Department of Toxic Substances Control, Partner and Chief Sustainability Strategist at SEMCO, Sustainability Coordinator for the Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta, and host of the Faith and Sustainability podcast — for a conversation about what it takes to lead from faith inside institutions that were not built to hear it. This is the second conversation Renay and Leonard recorded for the show. The first was, in Renay's  own words, the conversation any host could have had. So she asked him for another one. What you hear in this episode is a man who stopped trying to fit in a long time ago, walking us through the inner architecture that let him do that — and what it cost, and what it gave him.  This episode is not a sermon. It is not a debate about whether faith belongs in business. It is a working leader — an engineer by training — describing the discipline of following something he cannot prove. And the difference, as he draws it, between faith and resilience: "Resilience is how we react to things. Faith is how we respond to things." Leonard and Renay cover: why language like climate change and faith triggers the same defensive posture, and what to do with that noise instead of around it; the silos we build between profession and belief, and what happens when we stop maintaining them; the difference between confidence and faith for leaders who don't subscribe to a higher authority; Laudato Si' and what it has unlocked inside the Archdiocese of Atlanta; and the leaders Leonard watched cut through — from Greta Thunberg to Charles Lee, the EPA veteran who helped launch the environmental justice movement alongside Dr. Ben Chavis Jr. and whose name most people in this work still don't know. This episode is also a tribute. Leonard passed away after recording. He gave us this conversation. We are honored to share it.

Let me tell you something, Pack Nation. Tucker Kraft is on track to be fully cleared with zero restrictions for Week 1 after tearing his ACL. The man is an absolute machine. Last year the offense was top-five in EPA per play while banged up. Now with Tuck at full health, this offense is a freight train – no, a woodchipper with a brand new titanium blade that vaporizes defenses. Micah Parsons is sitting until October on a strict nine-month protocol, and that's exactly how it should be. The offense is going to carry the defense early. When you have Tucker Craft on the field, the entire playbook opens up. He's a bruiser who blocks 260-pounders into the dirt then runs a 30-yard seam route. Defensive coordinators can't predict what's coming. We are not just surviving September – we are dominating it. If you're not fired up right now, you need to check your pulse. Go Pack Go.

What if the most compelling case for clean energy isn't climate change, economics, or energy independence?What if it's public health?Former EPA Administrator Michael Regan has spent his career connecting pollution, environmental protection, and energy policy to the everyday health of American communities. In this special collaboration between SunCast and Energy Empire, Nico Johnson and Jigar Shah sit down with Regan to explore why he viewed the EPA as a public health agency first, and what today's clean energy leaders can learn from communities demanding a greater voice in decisions that affect their lives.From North Carolina's landmark coal ash settlement to EPA's Journey to Justice initiative, Regan shares how listening to communities reshaped the way he approached enforcement, regulation, and environmental protection. The conversation also tackles one of the industry's most pressing challenges: how to build the infrastructure America needs while maintaining public trust amid rising concerns over affordability, data centers, and rapid load growth.For developers, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders, this episode offers a timely reminder that successful energy transitions depend not only on technology and capital, but on people.Expect to learn:

This week, I was pleased to welcome back to the studio Dana S. Lateulere, Regulatory Consultant with B&C and its consulting affiliate, The Acta Group (Acta®), and James V. Aidala, Senior Government Affairs Consultant at B&C and Vice President, Policy and Government Affairs, at Acta, to discuss the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) significant role in combating pathogens like those spreading the highly virulent Ebola virus and Hantavirus. Both Dana and Jim have extensive expertise in how EPA deploys its authority under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to protect the public's health from these and other deadly pathogens. We discuss how EPA reviews, approves, and regulates products to combat these pathogens, how EPA has modernized its process to meet the demands of the moment, and why the public health products EPA regulates under FIFRA are more essential now than ever.

Victims identified, son in custody in Livonia home shooting that left 4 dead Checking account bonuses sound tempting but first dig into details EGLE, EPA announce $10M for additional Detroit River cleanup

Detroit's only PGA Tour stop is ending, a landmark Detroit high school is coming down, and the Detroit River is getting a major cleanup — plus, we ask the question: Would you actually swim in it? In this episode, we break down the coming opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge and why its freeway connections and pedestrian path matter for trade, traffic, and everyday Detroiters.  We get into Rocket Companies ending its Rocket Mortgage Classic sponsorship after 2026, what that means for Detroit Golf Club, tourism, and the city's national image. Then we tackle the demolition of historic Cooley High, the plan for a new state-funded athletic complex, and the bigger fight over whether Detroit is really "full" — or if the city needs more people, more housing, and more creative land use. Finally, they talk EPA and EGLE's $10 million plan to pull toxic sediment from the Detroit River near Harbortown and Belle Isle, and ask listeners: are you Team Yes or No on swimming in the river?

A single line on a label can shake an entire trade, especially when that trade has been using the product for 30 plus years. We pick back up with Scott Hamilton, the CEO of United Chemical, to sort out what the EPA's “not for use in outdoor pools” language is really responding to, and whether the bromate concern is being evaluated in a way that matches real pool conditions.We get into the chemistry behind bromate exposure, including why some researchers argue it should not be assessed with a strictly linear model. Scott explains the case for looking at thresholds and real-world dose, plus the research showing how stomach acid can reduce a large portion of trace bromate back into bromide. We also talk about what makes the EPA process move slowly: protocol review, data acceptance, and the very real staffing and workload constraints that can turn a decision into a multi-year timeline.Then we zoom out to the business and legal side of pool chemical regulation. Why do some products stop claiming they “kill algae” even when pros swear they work? Because pesticidal claims trigger registrations, state-by-state fees, and a compliance burden that can be brutal. We also address the fear factor directly, how to think about risk tolerance, and why transparency matters when the manufacturer has a stake in the outcome.

We weigh the science, the legal reality of pesticidal claims, and why transparency matters when pool pros have relied on a product for decades.  • how bromate exposure is being modeled and why linear risk assumptions may not fit real pool use  • what research says about stomach acid reducing trace bromate back to bromide  • how the EPA makes interim decisions and what it would take to revisit or reverse them  • why some manufacturers remove algae-kill claims and how registration fees shape labels  • how to think about risk tolerance alongside other common pool industry hazards  • why publishing methods and raw data helps the industry move past rumors  If you'd like to see a copy of the study, there's going to be a link in this podcast description for you.  You can download that study and read it for yourself.  If you're looking for part one, again go to my website, swimmingprolearning.com, click on the podcast icon, and open a drop-down menu of other podcasts that I've done before.  If you're interested in the coaching program, you can learn more at PoolGuyCoaching.com.  Download the full Sodium Bromide Study:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X6-1uJJ7MZugeRDpch0tpop2vg0hjPR0/view?usp=sharingSend us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Science is under attack, and not by accident.  In this episode of Cut to the Chase, Gregg Goldfarb sits down with Dr. Michael E. Mann, one of the world's leading climate scientists, to expose the coordinated, well-financed campaign working to discredit research, intimidate scientists, and pull public opinion away from the facts. From the "hockey stick" graph that made him a target to the death threats, the gutting of federal science agencies, and the way climate denial and vaccine misinformation merged into one anti-science machine, Mann lays out how we got here — and where the openings to fight back actually are. Co-author with Dr. Peter Hotez of the new book Science Under Siege, Mann brings candor and a surprising amount of hope to a heavy subject: why he never backed down, and what he tells students who still dream of becoming scientists. Join Gregg and Dr. Michael Mann on Cut to the Chase as they explore: Why the "hockey stick" graph made one scientist a target for powerful interests How climate denial and vaccine misinformation merged into one anti-science movement What "stochastic terrorism" is, and the real-world cost of speaking out Why clean energy and affordability may be the strongest case for climate action How attribution science could let courts hold fossil fuel companies accountable What Mann tells the next generation of scientists about staying in the fight     KEY MOMENTS 0:12 — Opening: defending truth in a world awash with misinformation 1:38 — The "hockey stick" graph and why it made Mann a target 5:12 — How climate and vaccine denial merged into one anti-science machine 8:12 — The "ladder of denial": why the arguments keep shifting 10:09 — Stochastic terrorism, death threats, and the personal cost 13:26 — Social media, podcasts, and the spread of misinformation 14:51 — Why he refused to give up 18:53 — The political path forward and the midterm elections 19:02 — The MAHA movement: common ground or trap? 23:37 — Why clean energy and affordability should lead the message 32:01 — Advice to students who still want to become scientists 36:01 — The EPA's rollback of the endangerment finding 38:54 — Attribution science, climate liability, and "the polluter pays" 41:03 — The U.S. on the world stage and ceding ground to China 43:56 — Closing: don't politicize the planet   Dr. Michael E. Mann is a presidential distinguished professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania, where he directs the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability, and the Media. One of the world's most influential climate scientists, he is best known for the "hockey stick" graph, which became an iconic and fiercely contested symbol of human-caused climate change. His latest book, Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces that Threaten Our World (PublicAffairs, 2025), is co-authored with vaccine scientist Dr. Peter J. Hotez and examines the political and ideological forces driving today's attacks on science, and how the public can fight back. He is also the co-author, with the late Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist Tom Toles, of The Madhouse Effect. Named to Bloomberg News's list of the 50 most influential people in 2013, Mann has spent decades at the intersection of science, policy, and public communication, defending evidence-based research in the face of organized denial and personal attacks.   The resources mentioned in this episode are: Book: Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces that Threaten Our World — by Michael E.

A new Alzheimer's study linked omega-3 fish oil (EPA & DHA) supplement use to faster cognitive decline, but the real story is far more nuanced than the headlines suggest.In this discussion, cardiologist Dr. Bret Scher breaks down the study and explains why the quality, freshness, and source of omega-3s may matter more than most people realize.The study used data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and found that omega-3 supplement users experienced greater cognitive decline over five years compared to non-users. But the details matter:The study did not assess supplement quality, oxidation, dosage, or dietary habitsOxidized fish oil may behave very differently from high-quality DHA and EPAWhole food omega-3 sources like salmon, sardines, and mackerel consistently show different outcomes in researchLifestyle factors like sleep, exercise, stress, and metabolic health remain critical for brain healthOne of the biggest takeaways: supplements are not interchangeable with whole foods. And no supplement can replace the foundation of metabolic health, including nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and social connection.

The EPA's sodium bromide relabeling decision didn't just tweak a bottle panel, it pulled a familiar algae treatment tool out of the outdoor pool conversation overnight. We're joined by Scott Hamilton, the CEO of United Chemical to explain what the EPA's interim decision actually says, why “not for use in outdoor pools” now shows up on sodium bromide-based algaecides, and how that single change ripples through distribution when big suppliers decide they won't stock the category at all. From there, we get practical and technical. Scott walks us through worst-case outdoor testing designed to stress the chemistry: high pH, zero cyanuric acid (CYA), and heavy liquid chlorine dosing in above-ground pools. We talk bromate formation, why the EPA leans on conservative assumptions like 100% conversion, and what the real-world data shows instead, including the striking difference between treating a pool with active algae versus clean water. If you've ever wondered why timing matters, we dig into the “first hour” window where most bromate formation tends to occur and what actually drives the reaction. We also zoom out to risk, regulation, and perception: how Prop 65 style warning logic shapes the conversation, how the EPA swim model estimates ingestion exposure over a lifetime, and the question every pool pro asks, why hot tubs still get a pass while outdoor pools don't. Subscribe for part two, share this with a pool pro who's navigating algae season, and leave a review with your take on the ruling.We sit down with Scott Hamilton from United Chemical to unpack the EPA's interim decision that forces sodium bromide products to remove outdoor pool use from their labels and triggers major supply chain fallout. We dig into bromate formation, what worst-case testing actually shows, and why the first hour after dosing becomes the key battleground in the chemistry debate.  • who the interim decision affects and why labels now read not for outdoor pools  • why Pool Corp and others stop carrying sodium bromide products  • how the EPA reaches decisions when it does not run its own controlled lab tests  • worst-case outdoor testing design using high pH, zero CYA, and heavy liquid chlorine  • what the data shows with algae present versus clean water  • why most bromate formation happens in the first hour  • how proprietary ingredients can suppress bromate formation  • how Prop 65 and linear risk models shape public perception  • why hot tubs get treated differently under the EPA exposure assumptions  Are you a pool service pro looking to take your business to the next level?

Battelle's Chlorinated Conference draws 1,500 environmental professionals from 23 countries, and its division manager explains why PFAS treatment is pushing the industry to its limits.Joe Tarsavage, Division Manager of Environmental Solutions at Battelle, discusses the 30-year history of the Chlorinated Conference, how PFAS contamination has reset treatment standards from two nines to five or six nines of removal, and why that gap is driving rapid innovation across the remediation sector. He also addresses how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape site investigation, data analysis, and client reporting, and why the industry is only scratching the surface of what that technology can do.Tarsavage details Battelle's expanding conference portfolio, including the upcoming Sediments Conference in Austin in January 2027 and the newly rebranded Battelle Bloom Conference in June 2027, which will broaden the traditional bioremediation platform to include critical minerals and land optimization. He also touches on emerging contaminants now appearing on EPA's CCL 6 list, including microplastics and 6PPD-quinone, and what it will take for laboratories and researchers to develop reliable analytical methods for those compounds.The conversation also covers Battelle's student mentoring program, the value of deliberate mentorship in a field where it no longer happens organically, and what Tarsavage is asking conference participants to help shape for future events.#Battelle #PFAS #EnvironmentalConsulting #remediation #technologyCHAPTERS:0:00 Introduction and Joe Tarsavage's Role at Battelle0:58 History and Growth of the Chlorinated Conference2:55 PFAS as the Dominant Industry Topic5:00 Building the Conference Platform and Steering Committee6:05 AI and Digital Technology in Environmental Work8:50 How Reporting Timelines Have Changed Over 30 Years9:45 Poster Sessions, Student Competition, and Mentoring12:45 What Has Changed Most Over the Conference's 30 Years14:45 Vapor Intrusion, PFAS, and Evolving Regulations16:30 PFAS Treatment Challenges and Innovation17:50 Where Battelle and the Conference Are Headed Next19:35 Emerging Contaminants: Microplastics and 6PPD-Quinone21:15 Battelle's Role in Methods Development22:00 Conference Venue Plans and Future Locations23:45 The Value of Networking at Industry Conferences25:30 Closing RemarksReply

In this episode, Tom returns to The Drive for a deep dive into the relationship between lipids and brain health, beginning with the fundamentals of cholesterol transport before exploring why the brain's cholesterol system operates almost entirely independently from the rest of the body. Tom examines the roles of apoB, apoA-I, and especially apoE in cholesterol homeostasis, discusses how APOE genotype influences Alzheimer's disease risk, and unpacks the complex links between cholesterol metabolism, amyloid, and tau pathology. He also reviews what is currently known—and still uncertain—about the effects of statins, ezetimibe, omega-3 fatty acids, and emerging CETP inhibitors on brain health and neurodegenerative disease risk. Although highly technical, this conversation provides an essential framework for understanding the nuanced relationship between lipid-lowering therapies, cardiovascular disease prevention, and neurodegenerative diseases in an area often clouded by misinformation. We discuss: The fundamentals of cholesterol transport in the body, and how peripheral cholesterol metabolism differs from cholesterol handling in the brain [2:45]; How cholesterol is transported through plasma and stored within cells, and why lowering LDL cholesterol does not deplete the body or brain of cholesterol [11:45]; How apoB particles drive atherosclerosis, why lowering lipids matters, and the factors that influence individual cardiovascular risk [20:00]; How the brain produces and transports its own cholesterol using apoE lipoproteins independently of circulating cholesterol and apoB-containing lipoproteins [29:00]; How apoB structure influences LDL receptor binding and LDL clearance [39:00]; How neurons acquire cholesterol from apoE-containing lipoproteins and why desmosterol serves as a unique marker of cholesterol synthesis in the brain [41:45]; The difference between the APOE gene and the apoE protein, the major APOE genotypes found in humans, and how APOE4 influences Alzheimer's disease risk [48:45]; HDL function beyond cholesterol: immune function, protein cargo, and communication with the brain [53:30]; How APOE4-associated defects in brain cholesterol transport may promote Alzheimer's disease: amyloid production, neuronal cholesterol homeostasis, and cholesterol clearance [58:00]; Statins and brain health: reviewing the evidence of the potential impact of statins on cognition and Alzheimer's disease risk [1:09:00]; Desmosterol and 24S-hydroxycholesterol as biomarkers of brain cholesterol metabolism and statin effects [1:17:15]; Possible cognitive benefits of ezetimibe beyond lowering apoB [1:19:30]; EPA, DHA, and the evidence for omega-3 fatty acids in brain health [1:23:15]; Obicetrapib: an emerging CETP inhibitor with potential implications for both cardiovascular and brain health [1:31:00]; and More.

This week, Tee sits down with Vincent D'Alessio, better known online as Guido Vinny, a real estate investor, real estate agent, business owner, and outspoken advocate for personal responsibility. Although he doesn't work in the health industry, Vinnie has spent years researching government regulation, environmental toxins, food safety, and the growing influence of corporate lobbying on public policy. Together, Tee and Vinny explore the role federal agencies such as the EPA and FDA play in regulating chemicals, food additives, and environmental contaminants. They discuss concerns about industry influence, regulatory loopholes, labeling transparency, glyphosate, fragrance chemicals, and the challenges consumers face when trying to make informed health decisions. Throughout the conversation, both emphasize the importance of becoming your own health advocate, paying attention to what you eat, drink, and put on your body, and taking personal responsibility for reducing toxic exposures in everyday life. They also examine how local food systems, consumer awareness, and civic engagement can help individuals regain control over their health and communities.

Most school uniforms are retired while they are still perfectly wearable. Children cycle through them on a predictable annual schedule as they grow, which sends a steady stream of usable clothing toward the landfill at the same moment families on tight budgets are paying to replace what their kids have grown out of. The waste side of that equation is substantial: the EPA estimates Americans generated about 17 million tons of textiles in 2018, and roughly 11.3 million tons of it was landfilled. Ethan and Desmond Hua, brothers from San Mateo, California, looked at textile waste and the cost of raising a family and saw a single solvable loop. In 2020, while they were still in middle school, they founded the HOPE Uniforms Program — HOPE stands for Help Our Planet Earth — a student-led nonprofit that collects gently used school uniforms families have outgrown and redistributes them, free, to families who need them. What began in one elementary school, run out of the family garage, now serves about 10 schools across three districts. By the brothers' count, HOPE has kept more than 14,000 uniforms out of landfills, redistributed over 12,000 of them, and served more than 1,400 households, saving those families an estimated $141,000. On this episode of Sustainability In Your Ear, Ethan and Desmond discuss why reuse sits a rung above recycling, how two teenagers built a multilingual logistics operation with a live inventory system, and what it took to talk Costco into donating 2,000 new uniforms. Ethan's work has earned him a 2025 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes and a Samaritan House Young Samaritan Award.The environmental case rests on a point that's easy to miss: the highest-value thing you can do with a garment is keep it whole and in use. What makes HOPE worth attention is the operations as much as the intent. The brothers engineered the return step directly into the model: families request uniforms through a website available in English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese; the uniforms are returned when kids outgrow them; and Ethan and Desmond spot-check and reissue them. That return loop, paired with a deliberate decision to treat families as repeat customers who deserve a dependable service, is what converts a one-time donation into a repeating cycle. The approach is also honest about scale — a garage operation in San Mateo County will not move the national textile-waste numbers on its own. The brothers' wager is replication; Ethan's dream is HOPE in another garage, and then another, and the model is plain enough for a motivated student in another district to copy. Whether thousands of small local loops can add up to a circular economy is the open question this conversation puts on the table.To find out more about HOPE — and to donate uniforms, request them, or start a program in your own community — visit hopeuniformsprogram.com and follow the program on Instagram, @hopeuniformsprogram.

Myron Ebell of FixTheEPAVeto.org zeroes in on a regulatory time bomb most people have never heard of — Section 404C of the Clean Water Act, which allows the EPA to veto a mining or infrastructure project after billions have already been invested and construction has begun, making serious capital commitment essentially impossible. The problem goes deeper than any one provision: China controls the processing of nearly every critical mineral the U.S. needs for AI, defense, and manufacturing, while domestic mining faces 10-20 year permitting gauntlets driven entirely by litigation from environmental groups.Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code “KNIGHT” For high quality made in America products go to HomeSteadProducts.shop and use promo code “Knight” for 10% off your purchases Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-show Or you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

SHORT DESCRIPTION New claims of massive federal fraud are shaking Washington as officials and former EPA leadership allege billions in taxpayer dollars were improperly routed through green energy programs. Tara and Roger break down the allegations, the political fallout, and the growing push inside government to recover what was spent. FEATURED STORIES 1. Trump Officials Claim Massive Fraud Potential in Federal Budget Elon Musk, in comments attributed to a conversation with Joe Rogan, is referenced alongside Trump administration officials who argue that eliminating fraud and improper payments could dramatically reduce the federal deficit. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is cited estimating hundreds of billions in potential fraud annually, while Stephen Miller argues the federal budget could be balanced if only properly eligible recipients received payments. 2. EPA Leadership Launches Criminal Referrals Over Green Energy Spending Former EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced multiple criminal referrals following an internal review of Biden-era environmental grant programs. According to the claims discussed, the investigation centers on alleged misuse of funds routed through nonprofit intermediaries. Zeldin says roughly $29 billion in EPA grants have been paused or canceled amid the review. 3. The $2 Billion Stacy Abrams-Linked Grant Raises Questions One of the most controversial examples cited involves a $2 billion grant awarded to a nonprofit tied to former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams. Critics highlighted that the organization reportedly had minimal prior financial activity before receiving federal funding, raising questions about oversight and eligibility standards. 4. “Pass-Through” Nonprofits Under Scrutiny Investigators referenced in the segment describe a network of nonprofit “pass-through” entities allegedly used to distribute federal funds with limited government oversight after initial disbursement. Concerns raised include whether funds were properly tracked once distributed beyond the initial recipient organizations. 5. Allegations of Political Enrichment Through Climate Funding Programs The discussion also focuses on claims that green energy and climate-related funding programs were structured in ways that benefited politically connected organizations and former government officials. Programs under the Inflation Reduction Act are specifically mentioned as part of the funding pipeline under review. 6. Calls to Reclaim Federal Funds Intensify The Trump EPA team is described as attempting to claw back portions of previously distributed grants, referring some cases to the Inspector General and the Department of Justice for possible prosecution. Supporters argue that stronger oversight and rescission of unused funds could help reduce waste and fraud. KEY TAKEAWAYS Allegations of large-scale federal fraud are fueling renewed scrutiny of government spending. EPA grant programs are under investigation for potential misuse and weak oversight. Nonprofit intermediaries are a central focus of concern in how federal funds are distributed. Political debate is intensifying over climate-related spending and accountability. Officials are pushing for recovered funds and expanded investigations. QUOTE OF THE DAY “If only properly eligible recipients received federal dollars, we could balance the budget.” SOCIAL MEDIA TEASER
