JBS Journalist Micah Halpern asks and answers whether Israel can ever redeem itself in the eyes of the world after the Gaza War—this and more on this episode of "Thinking Out Loud" on JBS.

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Robyn Pfaffman, filling in on today’s edition of the show, kicks off by reflecting on her conservative views and personal experiences covering the World Trade Center attacks, which she says shaped her political outlook. She then turns to allegations of long-running fraud in Minnesota involving public funds, highlighting independent journalist Nick Shirley’s reporting and questioning political accountability connected to Governor Tim Walz. Pfaffman also invites listener reaction to a proposal for monitored “safe zones” for child custody exchanges following recent police shootings in Charlotte. Additional commentary includes criticism of Democratic leadership, skepticism of Nancy Pelosi’s prediction that Democrats will retake the House in 2026, and discussion of messaging she believes resonates with voters. later we’re joined by Jared Halpern from Fox News Radio to talk about former President Donald Trump’s recent diplomatic meetings and the latest developments in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Halpern explains Trump’s discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump suggested negotiations to end the Russia–Ukraine war may be closer than ever, while uncertainty remains about Vladimir Putin’s willingness to compromise. The conversation then shifts to Trump’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, focusing on efforts to move from phase one to phase two of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

 FROM REVOLUTION TO QUANTUM TUNNELING Colleague Professor Paul Halpern. This segment introduces the parallel early lives of physicists George Gamow and Fred Hoyle. Halpern describes Gamow's youth in revolutionary Russia, noting the irony that his father once taught Leon Trotsky. Gamow studied under Alexander Friedmann, who applied general relativity to an expanding universe model likened to a balloon. Following Friedmann'suntimely death, Gamow pivoted to quantum physics, discovering quantum tunneling—a process vital for stellar fusion. The discussion covers Gamow's motorcycle adventures at the Niels Bohr Institute and his eventual escape from the Soviet Union to avoid Marxist-Leninist political intrusion into science. NUMBER 1 1942

STELLAR ORIGINS AND COMPETING COSMOLOGIES Colleague Professor Paul Halpern. The focus shifts to Fred Hoyle, whose musical mother taught him to read via silent film subtitles. Halpern details Hoyle's journey to Cambridge, where his ambition to work in nuclear physics was interrupted by WWII radar research. Hoyle became fascinated by astronomy, eventually authoring a key 1946 paper on stellar nucleosynthesis, proposing that elements are forged inside stars. This set the stage for the "Great Big Bang Debate." While Gamow argued for element creation in a hot, primeval explosion, Hoyle developed the Steady State theory, filling in the gaps of an expanding universe. NUMBER 2 1961

THE ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY OF THE BIG BANG Colleague Professor Paul Halpern. Halpern explains how a horror movie inspired the Steady State theory, which posits that new matter is continuously created to maintain cosmic density. Ironically, Hoyle coined the term "Big Bang" as a derisive label during a radio broadcast, preferring his continuous creation model. The segment highlights Hoyle's genius in calculating how carbon forms in dying stars, a necessity for life. However, the debate shifted decisively when Penzias and Wilson accidentally discovered the cosmic microwave background hiss. This radiation, identified by Robert Dicke's team, provided the observational proof that vindicated Gamow's hot origin theory. NUMBER 3 AUGUST 1938

NOBEL SNUBS AND LATER CONTROVERSIES Colleague Professor Paul Halpern. In the aftermath of the Big Bang's confirmation, Gamow fought for recognition of his prior theoretical contributions before his death in 1968. Halpern discusses the controversy surrounding the Nobel Prize for nucleosynthesis, which was awarded to William Fowler but excluded Hoyle, possibly due to misconceptions by the nominators. In his later years, Hoyle became a controversial figure, promoting panspermia—the idea that diseases like AIDS come from comets—and rejecting Darwinian evolution. Halpern concludes by describing both men as intuitive, "seat of the pants" thinkers who preferred spontaneity over rigid archival research. NUMBER 4 1960

When it comes to publishing, I like to explain the process as a little bit of science and a little bit of magic. We can do ALL THE THINGS, and follow all the “rules”, and still have to hand that work over to someone to assess, to review, and to judge. The work is the science, but it's the relationships that are the magic.  I'm a big believer in alignment. When I work with my clients, I tell them that their book proposal is the biggest piece of self-advocacy they have, which will allow them to find the right-aligned partner in an agent and a publisher. And one of the ways I help people find that alignment is by introducing them to the best people in the biz! This week on Bound + Determined, I'm sitting down with literary agent and author, Lucinda Halpern. In this episode, we go behind the scenes to discuss what she loves about the job, her unique views on authorship, and how to land the agent of your dreams.

Michael speaks with former US Attorney, Phillip Halpern who very publicly resigned last week out of protest and disgust for Attorney General William P. Barr's shocking abuse of power. Halpern spent 36 years in his position at the Department of Justice; serving under 19 different Attorney's General and six different presidents while prosecuting all manner of crime and government corruption. Under Bill Barr though, Halpern says the Justice Department became just another appendage of the Trump administration with Barr acting as the president's sword and shield; saving him from the Mueller Report, impeachment and countless other high crimes and misdemeanors while intervening to save Trump's corrupt cronies like Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn from prison.

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE KEEPS DISCOVERING THE UNEXPLAINED IN THE CREATION OF GALAXIES.  3/4: Flashes of Creation: George Gamow, Fred Hoyle, and the Great Big Bang Debate, by Paul Halpern https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PV5CLZQ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 A respected physics professor and author breaks down the great debate over the Big Bang and the continuing quest to understand the fate of the universe. Today, the Big Bang is so entrenched in our understanding of the cosmos that to doubt it would seem crazy. But as Paul Halpern shows in Flashes of Creation, just decades ago its mere mention caused sparks to fly. At the center of the debate were the Russian-American physicist George Gamow and the British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle. Gamow insisted that a fiery explosion explained how the elements of the universe were created. Attacking the idea as half-baked, Hoyle countered that the universe was engaged in a never-ending process of creation. The battle was fierce. In the end, Gamow turned out to be right—mostly—and Hoyle, along with his many achievements, is remembered for giving the theory the silliest possible name: "the Big Bang." Halpern captures the brilliance of both thinkers and reminds us that even those proven wrong have much to teach us about boldness, imagination, and the universe, itself. 2007 DARK MATTER?

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE KEEPS DISCOVERING THE UNEXPLAINED IN THE CREATION OF GALAXIES.  2/4: Flashes of Creation: George Gamow, Fred Hoyle, and the Great Big Bang Debate, by Paul Halpern 1783 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PV5CLZQ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 A respected physics professor and author breaks down the great debate over the Big Bang and the continuing quest to understand the fate of the universe. Today, the Big Bang is so entrenched in our understanding of the cosmos that to doubt it would seem crazy. But as Paul Halpern shows in Flashes of Creation, just decades ago its mere mention caused sparks to fly. At the center of the debate were the Russian-American physicist George Gamow and the British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle. Gamow insisted that a fiery explosion explained how the elements of the universe were created. Attacking the idea as half-baked, Hoyle countered that the universe was engaged in a never-ending process of creation. The battle was fierce.
