Growing up in New Jersey with a rough childhood, Nina was groomed as a teenager and dragged to Florida — where her life spiraled into homelessness and drug addiction.

What happens when a parent refuses to let a diagnosis define their child? TV news anchor Leland Vittert shares his story of growing up with autism, the “tough love” lessons his father insisted on, and how those moments of discomfort shaped the man and reporter he became. In this conversation with host Julie Rose, Vittert opens up about bullying, rejection, resilience, and the powerful role his father played in teaching him to adapt to the world rather than expecting the world to adapt to him. Leland Vittert is the Chief Washington Anchor at NewsNation and host of “On Balance with Leland Vittert.” Before joining NewsNation, he spent a decade as a foreign correspondent and anchor at Fox News. His new memoir is "Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, A Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism," available now https://www.harpercollinsfocus.com/harper-horizon/born-lucky/.

For years, Americans questioned the Biden Administration's reckless spending in Ukraine, funneling more than $177 billion in taxpayer money into a war that Ukraine is losing.

In this moving episode of Dishing with Buff Faye, Buff opens the studio doors to a powerful conversation with Riss, a brave trans teen, and his loving mom, Julie Hester Hill. Together, they share their journey of growing up—and parenting—trans in the South, offering listeners an intimate look at the power of visibility, affirmation, and unconditional love.  Before the interview, Buff gets a surprise visit from her sidekick Funsize, who brings her funny wit and joy back to the mic. The two dish on Charlotte Pride, Halloween drag looks, Funny Bus tours, and Funsize's exciting new home shopping with her wife Julia. After a few laughs (and some tea about Bitesize, the puppet stand-in that didn't quite make the cut), Buff transitions into the heart of the episode. Riss opens up about knowing who he was from a young age and the moment he found the courage to tell his mom, describing it as “God pushing the wrong button.” Julie shares what it was like hearing those words and how her unconditional love helped Riss grow into the confident young man he is today. The episode highlights the importance of safe spaces for trans youth, the joy of chosen community, and the incredible strength it takes to live authentically in a world that is harsh to trans people and doesn't make it easy. It's a reminder that parents have the power to change lives by simply choosing love.  They close out with a fun round of “YASSS QUEEN or GIRL BYE,” bringing laughter and light to a deeply heartfelt episode supporting our trans families out there. Let's Dish, y'all. #DishingWithBuffFaye #TransYouth #QueerJoy #BuffFayePodcast #LGBTQFamily #CharlotteDrag #AllBuffTV #YasssQueen

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, NewsNation host Leland Vittert opens up about his personal journey growing up on the autism spectrum, the struggles his family faced, and the lessons that shaped his outlook on life and journalism. From being misunderstood in school and learning to navigate social cues, to the pivotal role his mother played in holding the family together, Vittert reflects on why he chose to go public with his story and how his experiences inform his new book—a parenting guide told from the child's perspective. He also explores how autism has served as both a challenge and, at times, a superpower in his career and personal life.The conversation widens to America's media landscape, where Vittert argues for a “radical center” approach and a journalism that calls balls and strikes on both sides rather than chasing flashy headlines. He stresses the importance of reviving local news, curating coverage around what matters most, and confronting the biases not only in how stories are told, but in which stories get told at all. This candid discussion is part memoir, part media critique, and a call for greater honesty—both in parenting and in public life.Got injured in an accident?

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck unpacks the latest government shutdown and the political brinkmanship that created it. He explores how shutdowns—once unthinkable—have become a partisan weapon, wasting money while allowing leaders like Donald Trump to punish opponents and play to their base. With Democrats at risk of shouldering equal or greater blame, Chuck asks whether the public is even paying attention, and what role figures like Russ Vought could play in reshaping government permanently. Beyond the shutdown, the conversation turns to the bigger picture: why voters never saw Trump as an aberration, why 2020 wasn't a full repudiation of 2016, and what Democrats must do to win back Trump voters in 2028. From Harris's struggle to differentiate herself from Biden to Clinton's careful dance with Reagan's legacy, Chuck argues that Democrats may need to admit Trump identified real problems—even as his solutions and behavior, especially with military leaders, remain deeply troubling.Then, Chuck is joined by NewsNation host Leland Vittert, who opens up about his personal journey growing up on the autism spectrum, the struggles his family faced, and the lessons that shaped his outlook on life and journalism. From being misunderstood in school and learning to navigate social cues, to the pivotal role his mother played in holding the family together, Vittert reflects on why he chose to go public with his story and how his experiences inform his new book—a parenting guide told from the child's perspective. He also explores how autism has served as both a challenge and, at times, a superpower in his career and personal life.The conversation widens to America's media landscape, where Vittert argues for a “radical center” approach and a journalism that calls balls and strikes on both sides rather than chasing flashy headlines.

When Joseph Smith dedicated the Kirtland Temple, he said the first word that came to his mind was "Thanks". But why? He and the Saints had built the temple through "great tribulation" and "out of our poverty". This act of faith, however, was about to unlock a cascade of blessings that would change the world forever. Summary: Join us as we dive deep into the dedicatory prayer of the Kirtland Temple (D&C 109) and the incredible heavenly visitations that followed (D&C 110). This isn't just a historical event; it's a blueprint for spiritual growth and power in our own lives. In this video, we'll explore: How the temple is a place of God's holiness, where all who enter can "feel thy power" and "grow up in thee." The incredible promise of being "restored to the blessings" when we "speedily repent and return" to the Lord. What it means to be "clothed upon with robes of righteousness" and "armed with thy power" as we go forth to share the gospel. The profound moment when the Lord appeared and manifested Himself "in mercy." The powerful restoration of the "keys of this dispensation" by Moses, Elias, and Elijah, which unlocked the gathering of Israel, the Gospel of Abraham, and the sealing power. The Kirtland Temple dedication was just "the beginning of the blessing". Discover how these restored keys and blessings continue to roll forth "in great power and majesty" to fill the whole earth.

Sabrena Collins had what most people would call a good upbringing — but by 13 years old, she was already hooked on meth. After getting sober once, a painful divorce sent her spiraling back into addiction and deeper into the drug world. What started as using turned into selling, and one night a police chase changed everything — ending with Sabrena being shot in the head by law enforcement. Instead of ending there, things got worse. Sabrena was charged by the DEA in a federal drug conspiracy case for trafficking meth and was sentenced to 9 years in federal prison. #ShotInTheHead #PoliceShootings #PrisonStory #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonDocumentary #SurvivalStory #PrisonInterview #lockedinpodcast Connect with Sabrena Collins: Tiktok@ sabrenamorgan Facebook @ Sabrena Morgan Insta @thesabrenamorgan YouTube @thesabrenamorgan Www.transformingcriminaljustice.com Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Shot in the Head & 9 Years in Prison: Meet Sabrina Collins 02:00 Growing Up in Kansas City & Family Life 06:00 Struggling with Body Dysmorphia & Diet Pills at a Young Age 08:30 Turning to Meth & Living a Double Life 13:00 Hiding Addiction from Family & Excelling in School 18:00 College Years, Quitting Meth & Big Life Choices 22:00 Marriage, Motherhood & Becoming a Real Estate Agent 27:00 Divorce, Custody Battles & Emotional Collapse 36:00 Relapse, Drug Dealing & Mental Health Spiral 41:00 High-Speed Chase & Getting Shot by Police 47:00 DEA Investigation & Federal Arrest 51:00 Indictment & The Moment Everything Changed 54:00 Pre-Trial Rehab: Getting Clean Before Prison 59:00 Sentenced to 9 Years in Federal Prison 01:04:00 Prison Life: Survival, Growth & Finding Purpose 01:12:00 Halfway House & Home Confinement Challenges 01:18:00 Becoming an Advocate & Rebuilding Her Life 01:23:00 Early Clemency: The Day She Walked Free 01:27:00 Life After Prison: Adjusting to Freedom 01:33:00 TikTok, Community & Helping Other Women 01:39:00 What the Prison System Gets Wrong & Needs to Fix 01:45:00 Nonprofit Work, Advocacy & Fighting for Change 01:51:00 Advice to Her 13-Year-Old Self & Final Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

Description: In this special episode of The Horns Over Hoops Podcast, Scott and Dan are joined by special guest TV's Travis, a lifelong Detroit Pistons fan, for a deep dive into one of the NBA's most iconic rivalries: Chicago Bulls vs Detroit Pistons. From the Bad Boys era and the Jordan Rules to modern-day battles with Cade Cunningham and the young Pistons core, we cover it all. We kick things off with some Detroit Pistons trivia (can you name the MVPs who once wore a Pistons jersey?), before hearing Travis' personal story growing up during the Pistons' back-to-back championship years, his thoughts on Grant Hill's greatness, and his memories of meeting Isaiah Thomas and Bill Laimbeer. The crew also looks back on the legendary Bulls dynasty, The Last Dance, and the infamous Malice at the Palace. Later, we debate Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin's Pistons stints, compare players like Rip Hamilton and Andre Drummond to Pistons legends of the past, and break down where both the Bulls and Pistons stand today in the NBA. Can Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, and Jalen Duren push Detroit to the next level? Will the Chicago Bulls escape their “middle of the pack” purgatory? If you love classic NBA rivalries, stories from the 80s/90s, and modern NBA talk, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

David Forsyth addresses the real dangers associated with growing up Christian in a believing home. While tremendous blessings accompany a Christian upbringing, children growing up in a Christian environment face the peril of mistaking conformity for genuine conversion. The sermon explores Romans 2:1-29, revealing three critical dangers for those growing up Christian: external morality without heart transformation, Bible knowledge that remains intellectual rather than life-changing, and religious ritual divorced from spiritual reality.Growing up Christian does not guarantee salvation, as Paul's indictment of first-century Jews demonstrates that morality, religious knowledge, and ritual observance are insufficient for right standing before God. Children growing up Christian may appear squeaky clean externally while remaining spiritually dead inside. The message emphasizes that growing up Christian requires more than external conformity—it demands genuine faith in Christ that transforms the heart. Just as Jewish people relied erroneously on their heritage and rituals, children growing up Christian risk trusting in their moral behavior, biblical literacy, and church participation rather than embracing Christ personally.The sermon concludes with a passionate call for those growing up in the Christian faith to move beyond externals and embrace the righteousness that comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. ★ Support this podcast ★
