SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-20-26John Batchelor with Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani. This discussion addresses the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran. The participants analyze the effectiveness of American air power, concluding that bombing campaigns alone cannot achieve regime change without a massive ground presence that the U.S. currently lacks the political will to deploy. The conversation highlights regional vulnerabilities, specifically the threat posed by Iranian drones and the potential closure of vital maritime choke points like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb. Additionally, the panel addresses the difficulty of building a credible Iranian resistance and the ongoing challenge of neutralizing Hamas leadership now operating from Turkey. Ultimately, the experts characterize the situation as a war of vanities with no clear exit strategy for either side.

When your partner shuts down in the middle of a hard conversation, it's easy to read it as punishment — as coldness, stubbornness, or not caring. What if that's almost never what's actually happening?In this episode, Todd Creager — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 35 years of experience — takes a closer look at stonewalling, one of the patterns John and Julie Gottman identified as a serious warning sign in relationships. Todd offers a different way to understand it, one rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the way protective parts of us learned to manage emotional danger long before our current relationship existed.He explains that stonewalling isn't cruelty. It's a manager — a protective part that decided somewhere along the way that silence was safer than speech. That part didn't develop in response to your spouse. It developed in response to what happened much earlier: a child who was dismissed when they spoke up, shamed when they were vulnerable, or simply never had anyone attuned enough to make expression feel safe.Todd walks through real examples from his practice, including the client who remembers being met with anger as a child for expressing a normal feeling — and the client who has no clear memories of meanness, only an absence of attunement. In both cases, the outcome was the same: the body learned to go quiet.The shift Todd describes — from "why are you doing this to me?" to "what does that part of you need so we can come back to each other?" — is where real repair begins. Not just of the current conflict, but of older wounds the relationship has quietly been carrying.If you or your partner stonewalls, this episode gives you a new framework for understanding what's actually happening, and a starting point for approaching it with less blame and more curiosity.Listen now — and if this work is resonating, visit toddcreager.com to learn more about individual and couples therapy, or explore his self-guided programs.

Escalating Conflict
A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
The 3-second pause that stops you from escalating helps parents pause, regulate, and respond instead of react. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge is a pediatric mental health expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and emotional dysregulation, helping parents build calm, regulated homes.Parenting rarely falls apart in big moments—it falls apart in the three seconds after your child pushes back, yells, or refuses. That instant surge is where escalation begins.In this episode, you'll learn how a simple pause—the love pause—can interrupt reactivity and help parents shift from chaos to calm.Why do I escalate so fast when my child pushes back?That sudden “red zone” reaction isn't bad parenting—it's biology. Your nervous system is designed to react fast when it senses a threat, even if that “threat” is your child yelling or slamming a door.What's happening in those seconds:Your nervous system fires first, thinking there's dangerYour thinking brain goes offline temporarilyYou shift into automatic reaction mode without choiceRemember: Escalation doesn't start with what you say—it starts with how fast you react.What is the 3-second “love pause” and how does it work?The love pause is a simple interruption between trigger and reaction. It gives your brain just enough space to come back online before you respond.In those three seconds, you can:Take a slow breath to reset your bodyUse a grounding phrase like “this too will pass”Choose silence instead of immediate reactionIt's not about perfection—it's about creating space where choice returns. And that space is where regulation begins.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works… Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment. Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.How do I stop co-dysregulation with my child?Co-dysregulation happens when your child escalates—and you escalate right back. That loop turns small moments into big blowups.The love pause interrupts that cycle by:Breaking the automatic reaction chainCreating emotional space before respondingHelping you choose connection over controlWhen you pause, you're not giving in—you're stepping out of the escalation loop so your response becomes intentional instead of reactive.Try pairing this with Quick CALM— a simple tool to support nervous system regulation in real time.What should I do instead of yelling or reacting in anger?Instead of reacting, the goal is regulation first, correction second. When you pause, you give yourself the chance to respond in a way that actually teaches your child emotional safety.Try this shift:Pause before speakingLower your tone intentionallyRespond only after your body settles
What if the fight you keep having with your spouse isn't really about dishes, money, or who said what last Tuesday? What if the two of you aren't even fighting each other at all?In this solo episode, Todd Creager — licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and relationship coach with over 30 years of experience working with couples — walks you through a framework he uses with couples every day: the three internal parts that show up in virtually every relationship conflict. Once you can see them, the whole fight starts to make sense.Todd breaks down the Firefighter — the part that attacks, raises its voice, and catalogues every grievance from the last six months. It looks strong, but it's actually operating from fear. Then there's the Manager — the part that goes quiet, pulls back, or tries to smooth everything over. From the outside it looks calm, but inside it's just trying to survive the moment. Underneath both of those protective parts lives what Todd calls the wounded or exiled part — the younger, more vulnerable self that feels unseen, unimportant, unsafe, or like it doesn't belong.Todd shares a real couple he's working with right now: a wife who grew up in a loud household where no one really listened, and a husband who was told as a child he should never have been born. Their fights look like her escalating and him withdrawing — but what's really happening is two wounded parts trying desperately to protect themselves. As Todd puts it, their protective parts are actually making things worse for each other, even when that's the last thing either of them wants.The shift happens when couples stop seeing each other as enemies and start recognizing the parts driving the conflict. That awareness — paired with compassion for your own internal experience — is what makes real repair possible.If you and your partner keep getting stuck in the same cycles, this episode gives you a clear, honest way to look at what's actually going on beneath the surface.Todd works with couples navigating communication breakdowns, intimacy issues, infidelity recovery, and long-standing patterns that feel impossible to move through.

The Domestic Crisis: Coal Strikes and the 1950 Winter of Discontent GUEST: Nick Bunker Despite the escalating Cold War, Harry Truman viewed the winter 1950 coal strike as his "greatest test." Coal was essential for heating homes and running trains, and a total shutdown early that year threatened the nation's basic functions. John L. Lewis, the fiery leader of the United Mine Workers, launched the strike to secure sustainable wages, pensions, and health benefits, knowing the industry faced a long-term decline against oil and gas. The conflict was particularly painful for Trumanbecause labor unions were his core constituency, yet he could not repeal the restrictive Taft-Hartley Act. Lewis publicly insulted the President, calling him "malignant" and "unfit" for office. During this period of high domestic tension, Americans sought escape in the opulent biblical epic Samson and Delilah, which became a massive box-office success. This cultural backdrop highlighted the contrast between the public's desire for normalcy and the administration's deepening crisis. (4)

A new national study has found that artificial intelligence (AI) escalates the amount of online sexual exploitation against children. The research, a collaboration between the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children Australia and the Australian Federal Police's Centre to Counter Child Exploitation, found that at least one young person in every Year 12 classroom has experienced or known someone who has experienced AI-facilitated sexual abuse. Associate Professor Tim Cubitt from Adelaide University, an author of the study, tells SBS reporter Wing Kuang that AI is not only escalating sexual child abuse online, it's also become a safehaven that many children who experienced sexual exploitation turn to for help.

Jeremy Segal, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development, Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS) Buyers who mistake a high LOI bid for a winning strategy are easy prey for sellers who know the growth equity playbook. Jeremy Segal's position: precision at the LOI stage is a stronger differentiator than price. Jeremy Segal is EVP of Corporate Development at Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS), a publicly traded software company that has nearly doubled revenue through M&A, from under $400 million to nearly $1 billion. He has closed roughly 50 acquisitions across his career at Progress, LogMeIn, and Akamai. How do you build a cost-optimization model before LOI for lines you know you can execute? How do you win a competitive process against PE without the highest headline number? When a seller restricts access during the announce-to-close window, how do you decide whether to escalate or walk? And how do you handle a workforce that expected an IPO and got an acquisition instead? Jeremy answers each one.

Gaius and Germanicus examine the escalating tensions between Poland and Russia. They analyze reports regarding Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's warnings of critical months ahead and potential Russian provocations. Germanicuscontends that NATO is the primary provocateur, asserting that European leaders have become complacent and dependent on the Ukraine war to suppress domestic crises, such as the migration issue. They discuss the historical enmity between the two nations, noting Poland's potential interest in territory in Western Ukraine. While Gaius highlights reports of Russian vulnerability, such as fuel rationing and states of emergency in Crimea, Germanicus remains skeptical of Western media narratives. He views the "hysteria" in Western headlines as an indication of the West's inability to accept an impending defeat. Germanicus argues that Putin is a cautious leader who will likely wait for a culminating phase rather than falling for tit-for-tat provocations. The discussion concludes with the observation that both sides are preparing for a potential expansion of the war, perhaps involving Belarus, as the conflict enters a chaotic and unpredictable final stage.

What if the thing you've been doing to fix your relationship is actually what's keeping it stuck?Most couples hit a wall. You've read the books, planned the date nights, promised to listen better — and somehow you're still in the same spot. More exhausted, more frustrated, and further apart than before. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.In this solo episode, Todd Creager — licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years working with couples — explains why trying harder rarely works, and what's actually happening beneath the surface when your best efforts fall flat.Todd introduces a way of thinking that goes deeper than most couples therapy advice: the idea that we're made up of different parts — and that the real reason relationships stall isn't lack of effort. It's that one part of you is trying to fix things while another part — a wounded, scared, or quietly resentful part — isn't on board. No amount of willpower gets through to that part.He walks through a real couple he's currently working with: a woman who never felt seen as a child and erupts when her husband gets defensive, and a husband who grew up with an aggressive father and shuts down the moment conflict starts. Neither is the villain. Both are being driven by protective parts that took shape long before they ever met.What they're learning — and what Todd wants you to take away — is the difference between a protective relationship and a self-led relationship. A self-led relationship doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from getting curious about the parts of you that keep showing up in the same painful patterns, and learning to lead from a place of clarity, compassion, and genuine connection.This episode won't hand you a quick fix. It will give you a different way of seeing yourself, your partner, and the cycle you keep getting stuck in — and that shift is where real change in a relationship actually begins.If you're in a long-term relationship and feel like you've tried everything, start here.Subscribe to Todd's podcast for honest, practical guidance on the relationship challenges that matter most.

What if the thing getting in the way of your sex life isn't a physical problem — it's a protective one?In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager takes a candid, grounded look at what happens when your inner critic shows up in the bedroom. Whether it sounds like Am I good enough? Is my partner enjoying this? or it shows up as numbness, avoidance, or a total loss of desire — Todd explains that these aren't failures. They're protective responses doing a job.Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Todd breaks down two types of protective parts that commonly interfere with sexual intimacy. The manager is the critical voice constantly scanning for what could go wrong, trying to protect you from shame, inadequacy, or humiliation. The firefighter is the part that numbs out, dissociates, or finds every possible reason to avoid sex altogether — because if you never show up, you never have to feel exposed.Both are trying to shield you from older wounds: the fear of not being good enough, the memory of embarrassment, or the quiet belief that you're somehow less than. And because desire and the inner critic can't occupy the same space at the same time, understanding what's running interference is the real starting point for change.Todd also introduces EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — as a therapeutic tool that can help people access and process the older memories keeping these protective parts on high alert. When those memories are worked through, the protective parts don't have to work as hard, and your natural desire and arousal have room to return — not through willpower, but through healing.If you've been struggling with performance anxiety, sexual avoidance, or feeling disconnected from your partner in the bedroom, this episode offers a way to approach it with curiosity rather than judgment.Todd reads and responds to every comment.

Is jealousy making you feel out of control — or controlling? Before you try to talk yourself out of it, it's worth understanding what it's actually doing for you.In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager takes an honest, compassionate look at jealousy — not as a character flaw or a red flag, but as a protective response rooted in older, unhealed pain. If your partner mentions a coworker and your chest tightens, or a liked photo on social media sends your mind into overdrive, this episode speaks directly to what's happening beneath that reaction.Drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS) — a framework that recognizes we all carry different "parts" of ourselves — Todd explains that jealousy is rarely about the present moment. It's a protective part standing guard over a much older wound: the early learning that love can be taken away, that you can be made to feel unimportant, invisible, or replaced.Todd walks through two specific types of protective responses that show up when jealousy hits. The first is the manager — the part that watches, checks, scans for threats, reads texts over your partner's shoulder, and keeps a quiet inventory of who they spend time with. The second is the firefighter — the part that reacts, explodes, accuses, or shuts down just to stop an unbearable feeling. Both are trying to prevent pain, even when the behaviors are causing damage.The shift Todd offers isn't about pushing jealousy away. It's about bringing curiosity and compassion toward the part of you that's scared — so you can stop reacting from fear and start communicating from your whole, settled self. When you understand that jealousy's intent is always protective, you gain options you didn't have before. You stop being run by your past and create real space for a different kind of relationship.Whether you're the one struggling with jealousy or you're on the receiving end of a partner's reactions, this episode gives you a way to see it differently — and work with it rather than against it.If this resonates with you or someone you know, share this episode. Todd reads and responds to comments, and he'd love to hear from you. If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who could benefit and leave a review.

As health plans expand their use of artificial intelligence for utilization review, hospitals and health systems are adopting AI tools of their own – for documentation, coding automation, denial prediction and more – in an effort to level the playing field. But in an era of aspiration toward value-based reimbursement and of consumer-focused price transparency efforts, could this arms race be cooled for the good of all? Instead of a battle with leading-edge technologies on both sides, can payers and providers find common ground and instead use AI for the greater good – even, just maybe, for their patients and plan members? We speak with Michelle Mello, professor of health policy at Stanford School of Medicine, about those questions and others.

1. Jill Biden and President Joe Biden Jill Biden’s remarks about President Biden’s debate performance. She feared he may have been having a stroke, arguing that: Her actions afterward (campaign event, public praise, restaurant visit) contradict that concern. This suggests either exaggeration or dishonesty. Claims that President Biden experienced cognitive decline. Allegations that political leaders and media knowingly concealed this. Media organizations and Democratic officials were aware of Biden’s alleged condition. There was a coordinated effort to hide or minimize it. They frame this as an example of: Political power being prioritized over transparency. A broader credibility problem in U.S. politics. 2.
