You're about to learn how government approved food policies, regulatory loopholes, and corporate lobbying have quietly reshaped what's allowed in the food supply and why these decisions are driving chronic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and neurological breakdown at scale. This episode exposes how biotoxins, ultra processed ingredients, and systemic regulatory failures contribute to long COVID, POTS, mold illness, chronic fatigue, and dysautonomia and why so many people feel sick despite following official health guidance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Will Cole, a functional medicine expert who works extensively with autoimmune disease, mold illness, hormonal dysfunction, digestive disorders, and complex brain related symptoms. Dr. Cole brings years of clinical experience analyzing lab data and treating patients with biotoxin exposure, neuro immune dysregulation, and chronic fatigue patterns. Together, they connect the dots between mold exposure, post viral illness, mast cell activation, low blood pressure, and why many people with long COVID or POTS feel dizzy, inflamed, and cognitively impaired. They explain how histamine overload, electrolyte depletion, cortisol imbalance, and genetics combine to disrupt blood flow to the brain and shut down human performance. The conversation focuses on practical functional medicine and biohacking tools that help rebuild resilience at the mitochondrial and nervous system level. You'll Learn: • Why long COVID, mold illness, POTS, and chronic fatigue often share the same biological drivers • How biotoxins like mold and viral exposure dysregulate the neuro immune endocrine axis • Why low blood pressure reduces blood flow to the brain and causes brain fog and fatigue • What mast cell activation syndrome is and how histamine overload affects the body and brain • Why electrolytes, especially sodium, potassium, and magnesium, are foundational for recovery • How creatine supports brain energy, hydration, and mitochondrial function • The role of cortisol in inflammation, stress tolerance, and nervous system stability • When antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers can improve quality of life • How nicotine acts as a low dose neuroprotective compound when used carefully • The benefits and risks of methylene blue for mitochondrial and cognitive support • Why removing the trigger matters more than chasing symptoms • How a functional medicine approach rebuilds resilience instead of masking dysfunction • Why creatine absorption improves when added to hot coffee • How Danger Coffee fits into performance, hydration, and brain energy Thank you to our sponsors! - IGNITON | Go to http://igniton.com/ and use code DAVE for 15% off your first order. -TRU KAVA | Go to https://trukava.com/ and use code DAVE10 for 10% off. -Caldera + Lab | Go to https://calderalab.com/DAVE and use code DAVE at checkout for 20% off your first order. -LYMA | Go to https://lyma.sjv.io/gOQ545 and use code DAVE10 for 10% off the LYMA Laser.

Filmmaker and producer John Santilli joins Brent Cassity to share a story that goes way beyond Hollywood credits. From working on projects tied to major studio releases to building his career through grit and relationships, John seemed to be living the dream—until a complex business deal spiraled into a federal securities fraud case, a public arrest, and years of legal chaos.In this raw conversation, John walks through what it felt like to watch his reputation collapse, how fear and isolation hit his family, and what it took to survive the mental grind of being overcharged, misunderstood, and pressured into plea deals. He opens up about the raid on his home, the harsh realities of the system, and the rare moment that changed everything: a judge who actually looked at him like a human being.This is a nightmare-to-meaning comeback story about accountability, perspective, resilience, and rebuilding a life—one piece at a time.Show sponsors: Navigating the challenges of white-collar crime?

In 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice publicly acknowledged that it had made “mistakes” in its handling of Jeffrey Epstein's survivors, particularly in connection with the 2007–2008 non-prosecution agreement in Florida. Federal officials conceded that prosecutors failed to properly notify victims about the deal and misled them about the status of the case, violations that ran afoul of the Crime Victims' Rights Act. The admission followed years of litigation brought by survivors who argued they were deliberately kept in the dark while Epstein secured an extraordinary plea agreement that shielded him from federal prosecution at the time.The DOJ's acknowledgment came after a federal judge ruled that prosecutors had indeed violated victims' rights, forcing the department to publicly reckon with its conduct. While officials expressed regret and described the failures as institutional errors, the admission stopped short of disciplinary action against those involved or a broader accounting of how the deal was approved. For survivors and their advocates, the statement underscored a painful reality: that the justice system not only failed to stop Epstein earlier, but also compounded the harm by excluding victims from decisions that directly affected their safety and legal rights.to  contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. Riots are something most people only see through the lens of a television screen or a viral clip on social media. Flames in the background. Police lines in riot gear. Shouting crowds. What rarely makes it into the headlines is what it feels like to stand in the middle of that chaos, especially when you're a young police officer with only weeks of experience on the street. This special episode is streaming for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform In this special episode, former Charlotte, North Carolina police officer Bill Broadway takes listeners inside the harsh realities of policing during violent riots. His account is raw, detailed, and deeply unsettling, not because it's political, but because it's personal. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Thrown Into the Fire Bill Broadway was just weeks out of field training when he was suddenly called into action to help control violent riots in Charlotte. Like many young officers, he expected to learn policing step by step, traffic stops, calls for service, building rapport with the community. Instead, he found himself facing crowds that were no longer protesting, but actively engaging in violence. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “These weren't peaceful demonstrations,” Bill explains. “This was chaos.” From the moment he arrived, it was clear this was something different. Police vehicles were targeted and removed. Officers were surrounded. Projectiles were thrown. Every decision carried the risk of serious injury, or worse. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. Protest vs. Riot: A Critical Distinction Much of the public conversation blurs the line between protest and riot, but legally and practically, the difference matters. Generally speaking, a protest is an organized public demonstration of disapproval, often protected under the First Amendment. A riot, by contrast, is defined as a violent disturbance of the peace involving multiple people acting together in a way that threatens public safety. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. Federal law, under the Anti-Riot Act of 1968, defines a riot as a public disturbance involving acts of violence by an assemblage of three or more people that create a clear and present danger to people or property. Many states, including North Carolina, enforce similar statutes through laws addressing arson, looting, assault, unlawful assembly, and destruction of property. As Bill describes it, the moment objects started flying and officers became targets, the situation crossed that line. “When violence starts, it's no longer a protest,” he says. “It's something else entirely.” Injuries, Fear, and Constant Threats Bill walks listeners through every phase of the riot, from his initial arrival, to the loss of police vehicles, to the injuries sustained by officers on the line. What stands out most is the constant psychological pressure. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “You don't just worry about what's in front of you,” Bill explains. “You're watching rooftops, alleys, shadows. You're wondering if the next hit is coming from behind.” The stress didn't end when the shift was over. Officers went home bruised, exhausted, and emotionally drained, knowing they could be called back at any moment. For many, sleep was elusive. The adrenaline lingered. The fear stayed close. Optics vs. Officer Safety One of the most controversial topics addressed is the allegation that department leadership and city officials were more concerned with optics and public opinion than with the truth, or the safety of their officers. This is not a new accusation in American policing, and it remains a deeply divisive issue. Critics argue that police departments often prioritize public relations to manage perception, reduce backlash, and limit legal exposure. The use of Public Information Officers and carefully worded statements can sometimes feel, to officers on the ground, like a disconnect from reality. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. The special episode can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. On the other hand, law enforcement leaders emphasize the importance of public trust. Studies consistently show that effective policing depends on community cooperation. Transparency, communication, and accountability are essential, but difficult to balance during fast-moving, volatile events. “The people making decisions weren't the ones standing there,” Bill says. “That's what made it hard.” A Divided Public Public opinion on policing during riots is sharply divided, often along political, racial, and ideological lines. Some see restraint as weakness. Others see enforcement as oppression. Officers in the middle are left navigating not just physical danger, but a cultural battlefield. Bill doesn't claim to have all the answers. What he offers instead is perspective, what it's like to be young, inexperienced, and suddenly responsible for holding a line while the world watches. You Decide Today, Bill Broadway works for a different agency, carrying with him the lessons and scars of those nights in Charlotte. His story raises difficult questions about leadership, accountability, public safety, and the human cost of civil unrest. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. The full podcast episode is streaming now on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Were the riots handled correctly by department leadership and city officials? Was the balance between optics and officer safety struck appropriately? Bill shares his experience from the front lines.

Midway Blitz's aim was to “target” undocumented immigrants with serious criminal histories — “the worst of the worst,” Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said when announcing the initiative in early September.Yet, neighbors saw immigration agents detain day laborers, construction and landscaping workers and street vendors, mothers and fathers, many of whom had no criminal history.Federal agents often used violent and unlawful tactics during the operations, advocates and lawyers said. And they've “displayed a massive show of force,” said Mark Fleming, director of litigation for the National Immigrant Justice Center. Block Club Chicago was part of a team that found federal agents used chemical weapons on people in Chicago at least 49 times this fall.Chicagoans had been preparing for a surge in immigration enforcement since President Donald Trump was reelected. The city has long been a target of Trump's criticism, and his border czar, Tom Homan, promised that mass deportations would “start right here in Chicago.” Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested nearly 400 people in Chicago and in neighboring states during the 10 days after Trump's January inauguration, according to records obtained by Block Club.Still, Midway Blitz and At Large — and the chaotic, seemingly random arrests and violence that came with them — have exceeded Chicagoans' expectations.Host - Jon HansenReporter - Francia Garcia HernandezREAD MORE HERESUBSCRIBE OR DONATE TO OUR NON PROFIT NEWSROOM Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom?

Earlier this year, Congress passed legislation that requires some people on Medicaid to prove they are working or lose health coverage.The state quickly submitted its plan to implement those work requirements. But the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will not consider the state's request.

In this episode, I sit down with former U.S. Congressman and former NYPD detective Anthony D'Esposito, who is also a Trump-appointed nominee for Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Labor. We cover the intersection of crime, policing, immigration, antisemitism (including on the right), congressional bipartisanship, and what he believes comes next for the Republican Party after Donald Trump.We begin with New York's shifting political landscape and the policing debate—from cashless bail and discovery laws to public trust, crime reporting, and the political consequences playing out in and around NYC. We also discuss the role of federal coordination (including task forces and the National Guard debate), and how D'Esposito thinks about border security vs. immigration policy.Later, we pivot to Congress: bipartisanship in practice, the George Santos saga, and why D'Esposito says accountability has to start within your own party. We also talk about antisemitism across the political spectrum, including what he'd say to disaffected young men drawn toward extremist figures online.Finally, we explore how his Catholic faith shaped his support for Israel and the Jewish community—and his view of what defines the GOP's future.If you enjoyed this conversation, please like, comment, and subscribe—it helps a lot.Chapters00:00 Intro00:40 Crime, policing, and NYC politics04:00 Cashless bail, discovery laws, and “crime vs reporting”09:40 Federal involvement + National Guard debate14:30 Immigration vs border security (and crime narratives)17:40 Bipartisanship in Congress23:10 George Santos: accountability and expulsion24:45 Antisemitism on the right + online radicalization31:40 Faith, Israel, and pilgrimages36:20 The future of the Republican Party after Trump42:30 Rep.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that authorities say they are cracking down on fraud at day care centers in Minnesota.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 29, 2025. 0:30 The Trump administration is making it clear that nothing is off the table — including student loans. After years of COVID-era pauses and repeated promises of mass loan forgiveness under Democrats, the Department of Education is restarting enforcement in a big way. Beginning January 7, 2026, borrowers who have been in default for at least 270 days will start receiving wage-garnishment notices, with up to 15% of their pay withheld after a mandatory 30-day warning period. This move is about restoring accountability after Washington trained millions of borrowers to believe student loans would never have to be repaid. Federal control of student lending exploded college costs, trapped borrowers in debt they can’t discharge through bankruptcy, and unfairly shifted the burden onto taxpayers — especially working-class Americans who paid their loans responsibly, chose cheaper schools, or skipped college entirely. Critics warn it could anger some young voters, but others see it as long-overdue fairness: if you borrowed the money, you repay it. The larger message is unmistakable — consequences are back, and the federal government may finally be stepping out of the student loan business altogether. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US struck a Venezuelan port over the weekend. The department of Justice says the suspect in the attempted bombings of both the Republican and Democratic National Headquarters in Washington D.C. on January 5th, 2021 has confessed. California has dropped its lawsuit against the Trump Administration for pulling funding from it's high speed train project. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 An independent journalist’s reporting is putting a harsh spotlight on staggering incompetence and massive fraud inside Minnesota’s daycare subsidy system. YouTuber Nick Shirley released video showing dozens of state-funded daycare centers, primarily in Minneapolis’ Somali community, that are allegedly being paid to care for large numbers of children, in some cases as many as 95 per location, despite no children being visible on site. If accurate, the scale of the alleged fraud could total hundreds of millions of dollars. While some aspects of Shirley’s approach have drawn criticism for being overly sensational, the core reporting raises serious questions the state has yet to answer. Locked doors, blacked-out windows, and empty facilities don’t automatically prove wrongdoing, but the absence of clear evidence that these centers are operating as claimed is alarming. Compounding the issue is Governor Tim Walz’s shifting response — initially dismissing calls for scrutiny as racist, only for his office later to claim the state has been investigating the issue for years. The contradiction fuels concerns that political defensiveness, rather than transparency, has defined Minnesota’s handling of the situation. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a timeless and uncomfortable question: do people ever really grow out of being bullies? Drawing from personal experience, the Mamas reflect on how bullying doesn’t always disappear with age — it often just changes form. From middle school hallways to college campuses and even retirement communities, the same cliques, cruelty, and power plays can resurface decades later. The conversation explores the difference between “mean girls” and true bullying, and how time and perspective can turn anger into compassion — especially for those who do the work to grow and evolve. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Newly declassified documents confirm what many suspected about the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago: even the FBI did not believe it had probable cause, but moved forward anyway under intense pressure from the Biden Justice Department. Agents raised concerns about the legality and optics of the raid, yet those objections were dismissed in a single-minded effort to “get Trump,” regardless of constitutional limits or institutional damage. 26:30 We Dig Deep into new data that challenges a long-standing talking point on the left about illegal immigrant crime. According to a New York Post column by Dr. John Lott Jr., Department of Homeland Security data shows that illegal immigrants make up roughly 14 percent of those incarcerated in New York—despite representing only a small fraction of the state’s population. That translates to conviction rates nearly three times higher than those of native New Yorkers, including serious violent and sexual offenses. Lax border enforcement sends a dangerous message that the law is optional—starting at the border and spreading everywhere else. Sanctuary policies shield criminals from ICE, driving up crime and forcing taxpayers to absorb massive costs for incarceration, healthcare, and welfare support. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Activist groups are calling on AT&T to cut ties with federal agencies like DHS, ICE, and Customs and Border Protection, as if enforcing immigration law is a moral crime. These pressure campaigns have real-world consequences. AT&T has worked with the federal government for decades and severing those contracts would likely cost American jobs with no effect on immigration enforcement itself. 36:00 New research links the decline of religious participation in the United States to a rise in what researchers call “deaths of despair,” including suicides, drug overdoses, and alcohol-related disease. According to a study published in the Journal of the European Economic Association, these troubling mortality trends began increasing in the early 1990s, following a measurable drop in faith and religious engagement. Practices tied to religion—such as prayer, meditation, moral reflection, and community worship—help strengthen emotional regulation, resilience, and a sense of meaning. When those practices fade, they are often replaced by substitutes that offer stimulation without purpose, distraction without fulfillment, or treatment without addressing the deeper spiritual void. Faith is more than preparation for the next life. It is a source of comfort, connection, and stability in this one, and that's a Bright Spot. 39:30 We break down Nancy Pelosi’s decision to tear up President Trump’s State of the Union address. The act was not merely a political jab at Trump, but a direct insult to the institution of the presidency, Congress, and the American people. 41:30 And we finish off with a record-breaking kiss under the mistletoe that will make you say, "Whoa!"

Confira no Morning Show desta terça-feira (30): O presidente dos EUA, Donald Trump, confirmou um ataque terrestre de forças norte-americanas contra as instalações do narcotráfico na Venezuela, elevando a tensão no Caribe. Com drones da CIA e uma presença militar massiva, o governo dos Estados Unidos envia um alerta claro ao regime de Nicolás Maduro. O Morning Show debate as consequências dessa ofensiva para o Brasil e os riscos de um conflito em larga escala na nossa fronteira. Entenda o que está por trás dessa estratégia na entrevista com o professor de relações internacionais Vitelio Brustolin. O ministro do STF Dias Toffoli manteve a acareação no caso que envolve o Banco Master e o Banco de Brasília (BRB). Agora, a Polícia Federal decidirá sobre o confronto entre o dono do Master, Daniel Vorcaro, e diretores do Banco Central. O Morning Show debate a pressão sobre o STF, a falta de assinaturas para a CPMI e os riscos de anulação de todo o processo. Entenda a polêmica por trás desse esquema que promete abalar o sistema financeiro! Reportagem: Rany Veloso. O Partido Progressista (PP) subiu o tom contra o governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, cobrando mais espaço e apoio à candidatura de Guilherme Derrite ao Senado. Com críticas que vão de "falta de atenção" a ataques ideológicos, a sigla já cogita lançar um nome próprio ao governo de SP. A bancada do Morning Show debate se essa movimentação é uma estratégia de negociação ou o início de um rompimento real na direita. A Polícia Civil de São Paulo deflagrou a operação “Ano Novo, Vida Nova”, com o objetivo de cumprir mais de 1.400 mandados de prisão contra agressores de mulheres em todo o estado. A ação integra o combate ao feminicídio e à violência doméstica e mobiliza delegacias em todas as regiões, especialmente no período do Réveillon. Somente em 2025, a operação já resultou em quase 4 mil prisões. A bancada do Morning Show debate se o aumento nos números reflete uma explosão da violência ou o maior encorajamento das denúncias, além de discutir a eficácia das políticas públicas, os desafios no enfrentamento do crime e os riscos de denúncias falsas. O Governo Federal registrou um déficit de R$20,17 bilhões em novembro, elevando o rombo acumulado em 2025 para R$83,8 bilhões. A bancada do Morning Show debate a falha na estratégia do "déficit zero", as possíveis "maquiagens" no orçamento e a falta de reformas administrativas para conter os gastos públicos. Entenda como esse desequilíbrio fiscal impacta diretamente o seu bolso e o cenário político nacional. O estado de saúde de Jair Bolsonaro volta a gerar debate após o retorno dos soluços persistentes, mesmo após os novos procedimentos cirúrgicos. Carlos Bolsonaro usou as redes sociais para criticar as condições da prisão na Polícia Federal, enquanto a bancada do Morning Show discute se a Justiça deve conceder prisão domiciliar humanitária ao ex-presidente. O caso levanta questionamentos sobre os limites entre a punição e o tratamento médico adequado. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

A Polícia Federal realiza nesta terça-feira (30) um interrogatório em Brasília para investigar a tentativa de venda do Banco Master ao BRB. A audiência, determinada pelo ministro Dias Toffoli, ocorrerá às 14h. Serão ouvidos o dono do Master, Daniel Vorcaro, o ex-presidente do BRB, Paulo Henrique Costa e o diretor de fiscalização do Banco Central, Ailton de Aquino Santos. Após os depoimentos, a delegada responsável avaliará possíveis divergências nas versões apresentadas. Caso necessário, poderá ocorrer uma acariação entre os envolvidos.O caso envolve uma operação financeira superior a R$ 12 bilhões e levanta suspeitas de irregularidades. No mês passado, Daniel Vorcaro chegou a ser preso temporariamente como parte das investigações, mostrando a gravidade das suspeitas.Veja ainda que o governo de São Paulo orienta medidas urgentes para economizar água devido à queda nos níveis dos reservatórios e ao aumento no consumo causado por uma onda de calor. O sistema Cantareira está com apenas 20% de sua capacidade total — o menor índice registrado na última década — e as chuvas atingiram 54% da média esperada para dezembro.Além disso, a partir de janeiro, os preços da gasolina e do diesel subirão em todo o país devido à elevação do ICMS decidida pelo Conselho Nacional de Política Fazendária. O preço da gasolina será acrescido em R$0,10 por litro nas distribuidoras, enquanto o diesel terá um acréscimo de R$0,05 por litro. Especialistas alertam que essa medida impactará diretamente os consumidores finais e os custos logísticos nacionais.

President Donald Trump is expected to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, extending a series of high-level talks that have focused on the future of Gaza and regional security threats. Netanyahu's visit marks his sixth meeting with Trump this year, according to Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, who described the trip as a sign of enduring ties between the two allies.FBI Director Kash Patel on Sunday confirmed that his office had surged resources to Minnesota to investigate claims of fraud exploiting federal services and programs. Federal officials have, to date, indicted 78 people and convicted 57 individuals in a $250 million fraud scheme in Minnesota, Patel said in a post on X. The charges included wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy. Patel said the case could yet prove to be “just the tip of a very large iceberg.”

This week, we're discussing the seemingly contradictory gun litigation moves the Department of Justice (DOJ) just made. On the one hand, the DOJ filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit challenging Washington, DC's "assault weapons" ban. On the other, it defended the federal switchblade carry ban. To make sense of the two moves, we have Bearing Arms' Cam Edwards back on the show. Cam said he is impressed by the DC suit. He argued that the DOJ might have a better chance of getting the law struck down than previous challenges did. He also said it could even be a candidate for Supreme Court review, though he noted there are several other cases that are much further along in the process. However, Cam said he's disappointed by DOJ's defense of the federal switchblade restrictions. He argued the Trump Administration has been inconsistent on Second Amendment questions, and the latest moves show a continued dichotomy between how it treats state and federal laws. He said he'd like to see all approval on gun-related legal questions run through the DOJ's Civil Rights Division's Second Amendment Section. We also discussed the reason Cam agreed to be a last-minute guest this week: Grabagun cancelled their CEO's planned appearance on the show. The company attempted to restrict talk about their involvement with Donald Trump Jr. before ultimately deciding not to do the interview. Special Guest: Cam Edwards.

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we're covering a mix of financial forecasting, legal outcomes, health policy, and youth-related research: Macky kicks things off with a forward-looking discussion on what investors should be paying attention to as we head toward 2026, following rescheduling moves in the US. Hype is everywhere, but we break down what could actually matter once the dust settles. He also covers a UK court case where a mum avoided jail after being caught smuggling £285,000 worth of cannabis into the country. A story that raises familiar questions around sentencing, motive, and how these cases are handled by the courts. John brings news from the US, where federal health programs are reportedly set to cover up to $500 worth of CBD products for certain patients by April, according to comments from Trump official Dr. Oz. If this goes ahead, it could mark a major shift in access at a national level. We also look at new research linking marijuana use in teenagers with poorer school performance and increased emotional distress. A sensitive topic that deserves nuance rather than scare headlines. Another packed episode touching on money, policy, and the real-world impacts behind the headlines.

Social media restrictions could infringe on First Amendment rights for children Note: This conversation originally aired on the "Sound of Ideas" on Nov. 3, 2025. How to manage young people's social media use is a big question, with many factors at play, including the well-being of minors, the logistics of monitoring online activity and their constitutional rights. In Ohio, lawmakers are trying to take this matter into their own hands. One law limiting social media access is currently on hold, after a federal court blocked it as an unconstitutional restriction on First Amendment rights. That decision is now being appealed by Attorney General Dave Yost. This year, two new bills have been introduced that would limit children's access to social media in different ways and bring app stores into the equation: Senate Bill 167 (backed by Meta) and Senate Bill 175 (backed by Google). The topic was the first in our newly created series “Law of the Land” which explores how the law impacts your life. Guests: Jonathan Entin, Professor of Constitutional Law, Case Western Reserve University School of Law Morgan Reed, President, The App Association Tony Coder, Executive Director, Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation Kareem Moncree-Moffett, Ph.D., Founder, Youth Lead Alliance MLB, Ohio's Casino Control Commission and sports betting companies agree to regulation changes Note: This conversation originally aired on the "Sound of Ideas" on Nov. 17, 2025. Federal indictments against two Cleveland Guardians pitchers, Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz, have rocked Major League Baseball and the sports betting world. In response to these charges of rigging bets on specific pitches, MLB worked together with the Ohio Casino Control Commission and sports betting companies to come up with mutually-agreed upon new regulations governing what's known as microprop bets, limiting them considerably compared to what was allowed before. In this installment of our "Law of the Land" series on "Sound of Ideas," we'll explain the sports betting regulation changes, and look at the other legal problems that have come up surrounding betting in Ohio in both the NFL, involving famed Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar, and NBA, related to allegations of faking an injury to help gamblers win against Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, who is a former Shaker Heights High School basketball star, along with how and why the rules differ for college sports. Guests: Joe Maloney, Senior Vice President of Strategic Communications for the American Gaming Association Eric Chaffee, John C. Hutchins Professor of Law at Case Western Reserve University School of Law Joe Scalzo, Sports Business Journalist for Crain's Cleveland Business
