Richard Epstein does a deep into the Supreme Court's latest showdown: Trump v. Slaughter, a case that could redefine presidential removal power and the future of independent agencies like the FTC. Epstein walks through the constitutional history — from the Founding to Humphrey's Executor to modern administrative courts — and explains how the Court's interpretation of Article II has evolved, splintered, and in some cases contradicted itself. The conversation covers everything from the steel-seizure precedent to the Federal Reserve, the structure of the administrative state, and the unresolved tension between originalism and the practical realities of modern governance. Epstein explains why this case could be one of the most consequential constitutional questions of our time.

In this compelling episode of the PT Profit Podcast, host Beverley Simpson breaks down a game-changing approach to generating consistent sales without the pressure, stress, or sleazy tactics that plague traditional business models. Moving away from the high-pressure launch model that dominated her early entrepreneurial journey, Beverly shares how she transitioned to an evergreen sales system that allows her to make sales every single day—even while sleeping. Drawing from her experience generating over $2.1 million for five gyms and seven figures online, Beverly reveals the exact framework she uses with her coaching clients (like Sophia, who generates 1-5 sales daily without even using ads yet) to create a sustainable, pressure-free business that actually feels good to run. This episode is essential listening for anyone tired of the feast-or-famine cycle of traditional launches and ready to build a business aligned with their nervous system.Key Discussion Points:0:00-1:30 – Opening hook: Beverly wakes up to $220 in cash from less than $20 in ad spend, demonstrating the power of the evergreen sales system in action.1:30-3:00 – Beverly's background: Former district fitness manager who generated $2.1M+ for five gyms and seven figures online, positioning her as a credible guide for this conversation.3:00-8:00 – The traditional launch model breakdown: The conventional 90-day cycle of building know, like, and trust through 30-60 days of content, hosting a one-time launch event (webinar or challenge), pitching during the event, and repeating every quarter. Beverly explains why this model created a high-pressure container that didn't align with her nervous system.8:00-12:00 – The emotional toll of launches: Beverly shares her personal struggle with the launch model—the perfectionism required, the disappointment when results didn't match expectations, and how this created an unhealthy dynamic in her business.12:00-15:00 – Introduction to the evergreen model: Beverly explains what "evergreen" truly means (a plant that retains green leaves year-round) and how it applies to business—having something for sale every single day or allowing customers to experience their own personal launch anytime throughout the year.15:00-18:00 – Addressing the evergreen concern: Human beings naturally operate in seasons and cycles. The evergreen model respects this by meeting customers where they are (globally, across time zones) rather than forcing them into the business owner's timeline.18:00-22:00 – Evergreen is not "set it and forget it": Beverly clarifies a critical misconception—an evergreen system requires constant refreshing to maintain energy and prevent staleness. She uses a Broadway theater analogy to explain how even long-running shows need energetic renewal to keep audiences engaged.22:00-28:00 – The urgency challenge in evergreen models: Launch models naturally create urgency through open/close doors and deadlines. Beverly addresses how to create legitimate urgency in an evergreen model without resorting to fake scarcity tactics (which violate FTC regulations, as evidenced by the $4M V Shred settlement).28:00-32:00 – Creating real urgency: Beverly outlines two types of urgency—outer urgency (deadlines, limited-time bonuses, limited spots) and inner urgency (communicating what's at stake if the buyer doesn't make a decisionRESOURCES MENTIONED & HELPFUL LINKS▶ Ready to build your profitable online coaching business the simple way?

Send us a text Anthony Freda is an accomplished educator, artist, and activist whose creative journey shaped by moral reckoning and bold shifts in perspective ultimately led him to Jesus and a renewed focus on Christian art. A tenured professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, Freda has built a distinguished career as an award-winning illustrator, with work featured in major publications such as The New Yorker, Time, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times. His art is showcased in a permanent exhibit at the 9/11 Memorial, and he has been honored by The Society of Illustrators, Communication Arts, and American Illustration. Known for his provocative, politically charged imagery, Freda blends vintage American ephemera with modern commentary, using his work as a platform for cultural critique and creative activism. His StoryHe began his career in advertising, notably working on the infamous Joe Camel campaign. When the FTC ruled the campaign illegal for marketing cigarettes to children, Freda experienced a profound moral awakening that led him to leave advertising behind. He went on to work with prestigious publications such as The New York Times and The New Yorker, but it was his work on an OpEd piece for The New York Times promoting the Iraq War that sparked another ethical reckoning. Realizing he had gone from selling cigarettes to selling war, Freda transitioned once more, joining the early alternative media movement in the 2000s.Freda's work has often pushed boundaries, both politically and artistically. His art is part of the permanent collection of the 9/11 Museum and Memorial in New York, where his piece is one of the only works that questions the official narrative of the events of 9/11. His ten-year tenure with Infowars as an illustrator and writer further cemented his place in the world of controversial alternative news, and he has been vocal about his role in the space.Freda's work, especially his art, continues to stir debate. In 2024, an author in Germany faced legal consequences for simply posting one of his book covers on social media, and Freda himself has been extensively censored for his dissent against the official COVID-19 narrative. He has even been flagged as a potential domestic terrorist for his critical stance and controversial imagery. One of his most notable works is a covert illustration for The Wall Street Journal in 2025, where he secretly adorned Xi Jinping's tie with skull motifs as a subtle critique of global politics.In 2024, Freda worked as an illustrator and media consultant for RFK Jr.'s Super-Pac, AV24, further cementing his role in the political and media landscape. However, in recent years, Freda has pivoted his artistic focus towards Christian art. After decades of political commentary, he now sees the battle as spiritual and has committed to dedicating much of his creative work to Christ, producing original pieces as a devotion to his faith.Freda is also working on an ambitious project called Jesus Park, a sculptural earthen garden designed as a peaceful space for prayer and meditation. The project aims to provide a tranquil setting for spiritual reflection and devotion.To explore his ongoing projects, including his Christian art, visit his website: AnthonyFreda.com, https://www.instagram.com/anthonyfredaart/,The Thought Crimes of Anthony Freda - Book PreviewConnect with Angie Taylor on:IG: https://www.instagram.com/mrsangietaylor/?hl=enFB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090424997350

The Flawed Logic of the FTC's Crusade Against Meta — Jessica Melugin — Melugin analyzes the failed FTCcomplaint against Meta, arguing the agency fundamentally abandoned the "consumer welfare standard" governing antitrust doctrine to prioritize competitor protection over demonstrable consumer harm. Melugin emphasizes that the FTC's characterization of Meta's acquisitions as anti-competitive ignores the critical reality that Meta services are provided at zero cost to users, who have demonstrably benefited from continuous service improvements and technological innovation arising from Meta's competitive acquisitions. 1954

Federal Judge Dismisses FTC Antitrust Complaint Against Meta — Jessica Melugin — Judge Boasberg dismissed the FTC's monopoly complaint on the foundational grounds that the agency failed to properly define the relevant market, artificially inflating Meta's competitive share by excluding dominant competitors including TikTok and YouTube. Melugin documents that proper market definition analysis places Meta's competitive share at approximately 30–50%, insufficient to constitute monopoly status under established antitrust doctrine, with the decision correctly emphasizing forward-looking statutory authority rather than retroactive punishment of 2020 historical behavior. 1953

PREVIEW — Jessica Melugin (Civitas Outlook) — The Flawed Logic of the FTC's Meta Lawsuit. Melugin argues that the Federal Trade Commission's failed antitrust litigation against Meta Platforms fundamentally abandoned the traditional "consumer welfare standard" governing antitrust jurisprudence, instead prioritizing protection of corporate competitors over demonstrable consumer harm. Melugin emphasizes that because Meta provides innovative digital platforms offering zero-cost access to billions of users, the FTC could not satisfy the burden of proving consumer detriment required to successfully prosecute monopoly charges under established antitrust legal doctrine. Melugincontends that the FTC's regulatory overreach reflects ideological hostility toward successful technology companies rather than coherent consumer protection theory, establishing precedent for prosecuting businesses solely for competitive dominance absent documented consumer injury. 1923 SCOTUS

The conversation covers why ranchers erupted over being blamed for high beef prices, the history of promises versus lackluster execution going back to early 1900s meatpacking cases, and how the Packers and Stockyards Act was supposed to regulate these companies but never really worked except briefly in the 1940s, Reagan's 1982 announcement ending merger enforcement and the five year transformation that followed, the difference between free markets and accessible competitive markets, why monopolies arise even without government help through predatory pricing and exclusive contracts, the paradox of needing to use power to break up concentrated power, Robert Jackson's 1937 speech on economic democracy without bureaucracy or regimentation, concrete immediate actions like debarment from government contracts versus multi-year DOJ investigations, why Congress could pass a breakup bill instead of waiting on agencies, the political opportunity for either party to outflank the other on this issue, Dan Osborne's economic dictatorship framing, and why economists should maybe just be ignored entirely when they dismiss rancher testimony with modeling exercises.Basel is Managing Attorney at the Antimonopoly Counsel, specializing in antitrust and trade regulation with a focus on agriculture, rural economies, and consumer protection. He has represented farmers against meat processors, defended workers from illegal noncompete agreements, and advocated before the FTC, DOJ, and USDA. Basel authored the landmark 2024 report “Kings Over the Necessaries of Life” on monopolization in American agriculture. His work has been featured in Reuters, AP, Time Magazine, CNBC, and other major outlets.

This conversation with Tommy A. Kilpatrick completely reframed how I see credit-card debt, banking systems, and financial sovereignty. Tommy shares how his $85,000 in "credit-card debt" mysteriously vanished after he took his case to federal court—without tax repercussions. He explains how modern banking practices create an illusion of debt, why language like "alleged credit-card debt" matters legally, and how you can reclaim your sovereignty by understanding financial fraud at its root. We also explore Tommy's decade-long vow of poverty, his spiritual awakening, and his current humanitarian work in the Philippines—teaching farmers to build bamboo domes, grow vertical gardens, and create self-sufficient communities. His vision for humanity is practical, creative, and profoundly spiritual.   ✨ In this episode, we discuss: The spiritual transformation that led Tommy Kilpatrick to walk away from wealth What really happens behind the scenes in the credit-card system The language that binds us to financial illusions Sovereignty, faith, and the power of living by divine trust Tommy's blueprint for self-sustaining, debt-free communities   If you're struggling with debt or yearning for true freedom, this episode offers a radical new perspective.   I invite you to explore karagoodwin.com for my book Your Authentic Awakening, free meditations, and upcoming summits and workshops.   Tommy's website: https://www.diy-debtrelief.com/  Your likes, shares, comments, and subscriptions truly help this content thrive and ripple high-frequency awareness across the planet. Enjoy this illuminating conversation!   Bio: Retired American living in the Philippines teaching farmers how to build dome structures with bamboo, vertical gardening, and to open free Self-Managed Health Care clinics. Born and raised in California. Double major: Abnormal Psychology and Accounting. Author, teacher, entrepreneur, 28 year marriage ended, became homeless (on purpose) and vow of poverty (for 10 years), living on farms on the East coast and walks in faith with God. Tommy A. Kilpatrick wrote a book on health and healing and in 2004 he signed an infomercial contract. For six months he was booked on radio shows as a test and used his three credit cards to survive. There was another author who got into trouble with the FTC and our infomercial company. The new talent's contracts were cancelled and he was stuck with $85,000 of credit card debt. He sued his three banks in federal court, by himself. Did he win? Cases were dismissed by the judge. Did he lose? Well, the alleged debt was removed from his credit report and there was no 1099-C sent to the IRS. Kilpatrick believes people are suffering under $1.3 trillion of bank-issued alleged credit card debt, which is not a debt and can be eliminated by the bank within 45 days.

Through his paintings and projects, Anthony's message is clear: art is not only for expression, but for communion with God and an invitation for others to encounter His presence.Anthony has made the journey from mainstream success to spiritual purpose and has seen his social-political art evolve into devotion to Christ, demonstrating how art can be a prophetic voice in culture.Freda's award-winning illustrations and paintings have appeared in numerous publications, including the New Yorker, Time, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times. He has a permanent art exhibit at the 9/11 memorial In NY. Anthony Freda Anthony began his career in advertising, notably working on the infamous Joe Camel campaign. When the FTC ruled the campaign illegal for marketing cigarettes to children, Freda experienced a profound moral awakening that led him to leave advertising behind. He went on to work with prestigious publications such as The New York Times and The New Yorker, but it was his work on an OpEd piece for The New York Times promoting the Iraq War that sparked another ethical reckoning. Realizing he had gone from selling cigarettes to selling war, Freda transitioned once more, joining the early alternative media movement in the 2000s.Freda's work has often pushed boundaries, both politically and artistically. His art is part of the permanent collection of the 9/11 Museum and Memorial in New York, where his piece is one of the only works that questions the official narrative of the events of 9/11. His ten-year tenure with Infowars as an illustrator and writer further cemented his place in the world of controversial alternative news, and he has been vocal about his role in the space.Freda's work, especially his art, continues to stir debate. In 2024, an author in Germany faced legal consequences for simply posting one of his book covers on social media, and Freda himself has been extensively censored for his dissent against the official COVID-19 narrative. He has even been flagged as a potential domestic terrorist for his critical stance and controversial imagery. One of his most notable works is a covert illustration for The Wall Street Journal in 2025, where he secretly adorned Xi Jinping's tie with skull motifs as a subtle critique of global politics.In 2024, Freda worked as an illustrator and media consultant for RFK Jr.'s Super-Pac, AV24, further cementing his role in the political and media landscape. However, in recent years, Freda has pivoted his artistic focus towards Christian art. After decades of political commentary, he now sees the battle as spiritual and has committed to dedicating much of his creative work to Christ, producing original pieces as a devotion to his faith.WebsiteInstagramJesus Park KickstarterSubstack Example

The Heat is On is an investigative series by Scrolling 2 Death, in partnership with Heat Initiative. Sarah Gardner, Founder and CEO of Heat Initiative, joins Nicki (S2D) to expose the truth Big Tech doesn't want you to hear – and this episode is all about Snapchat.From a disappearing-nude app in 2011 to a social media giant in 2025, Snapchat's story is one of innovation, imitation, and controversy. When it comes to digital harms and kids, Snapchat ranks among the worst—which is why this story expands two parts. In Part 1, we're exposing how Snapchat's “innovations” have put profits ahead of our children's safety. Snapchat's culture was flawed from the start. The FTC sanctioned the company early on for misleading users about how ‘private' disappearing snaps really were. Since then, features like Discover and AR filters have been designed to keep kids endlessly engaged, regardless of the consequences.Today, nearly half of all U.S. teens use Snapchat. Yet the platform continues to enable drug poisonings, connect minors with predators, and drive addictive use. As psychologist Jonathan Haidt warns, Snapchat is harming children on an industrial scale - and insiders admit the company knows but fails to act.Online drug dealing, especially fentanyl-laced pills, has fueled a 350% rise in teen deaths over the past three years. Snapchat's Quick Add feature helps dealers find young users, exposing an estimated 700,000 people to drug content daily. Even when dealers are reported, only one in four accounts is removed.Sextortion is another growing crisis. Snapchat receives about 10,000 reports each month— numbers employees say barely scratch the surface. Predators exploit the app's disappearing messages, and with Snap Map, digital threats increasingly turn into real-world harm.Rather than designing for safety, Snapchat keeps doubling down on engagement. Features like Snapstreaks drive compulsive use; 45% of teens now use the app “almost constantly.” Your child's attention keeps them profitable.In this episode, Sarah and Nicki hear from parents and experts who've seen the damage firsthand. Their message is clear: these aren't accidents - they're design choices. The question is...can Snapchat fix this? Or is Snap a lost cause?Video Editing expertly provided by Jacob Meade.Thank you to our featured guests:Laura Marquez-Garrett - Attorney, Social Media Victims Law CenterAmy Neville - Parent survivor, founder of Alexander Neville Foundation‍Jonathan Haidt - Author of The Anxious GenerationPaul Raffile - Cyber-analyst and worldwide sextortion expertAaron Ping - Survivor parent of Avery Ping and host of the Superhuman podcastJim & Kate Sullivan - Survivor parent of Jack SullivanAnna McAdams - Online safety advocate and mom of EllistonPaul Solotaroff - Senior Writer at Rolling StoneMike Neff - Attorney, Neff Injury LawSarah Gallagher Trombley - former Snapchat Exec and Founder of Digital Mom Media

And, Panera Bread, the once No. 1 fast-casual chain in the US, has steadily declined in the last few years and announces a turnaround plan to bring it back to its glory days. Meanwhile, “Baby Shark Dance,” the extremely popular and catchy tune on YouTube hasn't quite made the profit that is proportional to its revenue.

Enshittification. It's fun to say, hard to spell, and a useful descriptor of exactly how the internet has gone wrong. Cory Doctorow, the author and activist who coined the term a few years ago, recently published a book on the subject, called Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It. He was on Decoder a few weeks ago to explain what happened, and joins The Vergecast this week to help us figure out what to do about it. Can we, as regular people on the internet, help to de-enshittify the place? What responsibility do we have, and what kinds of choices should we be making? Cory has lots of thoughts on whether you can shop your way out of a monopoly, and what it really takes to enact structural change online.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nathan Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc.

Nathan Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc., details the benefits of xylitol in dental and respiratory health products such as nasal sprays and chewing gums under the Spry brand. Nathan advocates for the FDA to allow anti-cavity claims for xylitol and other compounds despite the current monopoly of fluoride in such claims. They question the efficacy and potential downsides of fluoride, and explore alternative dental health interventions. The episode also covers xylitol's role in preventing tooth decay, respiratory health benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing legal challenges with the FTC. Discussions highlight the potential implications of oral health on systemic diseases like cardiovascular disease and Parkinson's, and emphasize the importance of nasal hygiene alongside dental care.

Are you aware of the hidden dangers lurking in your environment that could be silently impacting your bone health?

Election Day 2025 will go down in history as D-Day for democracy. Terrell Starr joins Andrea to break down what these nationwide victories mean for the future, from the midterms and beyond. It's clear who Americans blame for the government shutdown. The blue tsunami showed up and reshaped the map, literally. In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger made history as the state's first woman governor as Democrats swept the governorship, lieutenant governorship, and attorney general, with nearly every county shifting blue. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill became the first Democratic woman to lead the state, with Democrats gaining seats across the legislature. Our people-powered victories weren't a "blue bubble" story as Donald Trump wants you to believe. Democrats flipped two seats in Mississippi, two statewide offices in Georgia, won the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and wiped GOP control off the Bucks County school board. Colorado voted to feed kids, Charlotte funded transit, Maine rejected voter suppression, progressive D.A.s Larry Krasner in Philadelphia and Alvin Bragg in Manhattan won re-election, and California overwhelmingly voted for redistricting self-defense against GOP autocracy. More on the redistricting battle in future episodes. And in New York City, Zohran Mamdani, just 34, the city's first Muslim mayor and the youngest since 1982, the first candidate to get over 1 million votes since 1969, delivered a victory speech so electric it could light up Times Square, reminding us that unity and humanity are the real antidotes to greed and fear. The fascists forced a fight, and democracy punched back. This is only the beginning. Thank you to every Gaslit Nation listener who voted, who showed up for your community, for our shared livable future that we will build together, and who kept hope alive on our darkest days. We will overcome with our moral force and defiance. To listen to the full episode, join the Gaslit Nation community. Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Your favorite social media influencers might be under the influence. Discover the truth about Big Pharma and the social media influencer marketing corruption tactics they use to spread health misinformation online. Don't let Big Pharma influencers affect your health choices!0:00 Introduction: Big Pharma exposed0:55 How Big Pharma buys influencers 1:24 Big Pharma corruption and lack of trust2:24 How Big Pharma controls the media 7:11 How to identify health misinformation online 11:36 Myth-busting online Did you know that Big Pharma and Big Food buy social media influencers? These social media health gurus influence what you eat, the decisions you make about your health, and attempt to invalidate other health influencers and information. As Big Pharma loses public trust, it turns to social media influencers to try to regain it. Since 2000, penalties for Big Pharma have totaled over $126 billion. Sixty billion of that was related to patient injury and harm. Modern medicine, with the help of Big Pharma, has shifted its focus from health to profit. Approximately 90% of the media on TV is funded by Big Pharma. This is also true for digital marketing. On average, social media influencers are paid $20 to $25 per 1,000 views. If that influencer has more trust, they can make 8 to 12 times this amount. Based on my trustworthiness and credibility, I could be paid between $250,000 and $500,000 for a 60- to 90-second post.Big Pharma goes through PR firms to connect with social media influencers. These influencers are required to disclose that they're being paid, but many of them do not. People like Dr. Mike recommend medicine and vaccines yet claim Big Pharma is not paying them.Dietitians for larger agencies, such as the American Beverage Association and the Canadian Sugar Institute, have gotten into trouble with the FTC for being paid to share dietary advice without disclosing their financial ties.It's often difficult to determine whether Big Pharma is influencing health information online, but examining the intention can sometimes help. Are they recommending fewer ultra-processed foods and chemical drugs, or more? Check out their funding. Is it coming from Big Food or Big Pharma? This is a big sign that they're being influenced.
