Atop the 8 o'clock hour, Fox News' Jared Halpern calls in to the show, to discuss what appears to be the President's successful effort to pass his "Big, Beautiful Bill."
Jared reports on the latest DC developments, as the House is expected to vote on, and pass, President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" this morning, despite rejections from all Democrat representatives and several key Republican holdouts.
JBS Journalist Micah Halpern draws a comparison between Iran and Japan, arguing that like Japan's emperor after WWII, Iran's Ayatollah must now confront the reality of defeat—this and more on this episode of "Thinking Out Loud" on JBS.
Jared Halpern from Fox News Radio joins Kim St. Onge to break down the Senate's debt ceiling bill, including the push for tax and spending cuts, changes to green energy credits, and adjustments to Medicaid and SNAP provisions. They discuss the complex House approval process, challenges from both the Freedom Caucus and moderate Republicans, and the looming July 4th recess deadline. Halpern also explains how President Trump's influence continues to shape Republican strategy and electoral risks tied to the bill.
Jared joins JMN to talk about the spending bill latest. Are members of Congress trying to make President Trump's holiday weekend deadline? Or are they not too worried because the actual deadline isn't until August.
Jared reports on President Trump's visit to "Alligator Alcatraz," and has the latest on congressional efforts to advance the "One Big Beautiful Bill" legislation -- a Senate vote may happen as soon as today, but is there sufficient support to pass it?
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.
JBS Journalist Micah Halpern examines why so many Jews are siding with Hamas against Israel, challenging the notion that it is because they are self-hating Jews—this and more on this episode of "Thinking Out Loud" on JBS.
Reporting from the White House, Jared explains how President Trump's "path to Yes!" for the bombing strike on Iran was much less drawn out than expected. And while the official reason for the strike was to deter development of nuclear weapon resources, the words "regime change" are on a lot of people's minds.
Jared looks at Trump's suggested timeline for deciding if/when he will order US involvement in the Israel/Iran war, and if so to what extent.
This week I'm talking with Dr Micah Halpern, a geneticist who has worked with many species including zoo animal population health, and is currently the pricipal scientist and owner of GenSol Diagnostics. Micah and I got nerdy about genetic testing for canine health and other traits - what are some of the different technologies involved, and how do we think about what "accurate" means in terms of results? I've had a long break from recording podcast episodes and I'm coming back gradually. My series of unfortunate injuries seem to be coalescing into chronic pain that makes working difficult. The Functional Dog Collaborative is a high priority for me but sometimes I do have to take a break from this podcast while I recover a bit, and this was one of those times. I hope to have episodes coming out more regularly, but also a bit more slowly than previously, for a while, while I improve and ramp them back up. I appreciate your patience.

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. With just eight days to go before election day learn why Bill Barr might just be the most dangerous man in America.

This week, Sahra Halpern, who is CEO of the Business Consortium Fund, talks about a type of lender that is not particularly well known or well understood even among business owners. The Business Consortium Fund is a CDFI, or community development financial institution. Traditionally, many CDFIs, including Halpern's, have sought to serve underrepresented business owners who have struggled to get a traditional bank loan. In the current political climate, however, CDFIs are looking to reach a broader audience. In our conversation, Halpern talks about how CDFI lending differs from bank lending and what types of business should consider approaching a CDFI.

Our main focus today was on nudging critical care clinicians to consider a more palliative approach to care. Our guests are all trained in critical care: Kate Courtright, Scott Halpern, and Jaspal Singh. Kate and Scott have additional training in palliative medicine. To start. we review: What is a nudge? Also called behavioral interventions, heuristics, and cognitive biases. Prior podcasts on the ethics of nudging, and a different trial conducted by Kate and Scott in which the default for hospitalized seriously ill patients was to receive a palliative care consult. What is sludge? I'd never heard the term, perhaps outside of Eric's pejorative reference to my coffee after adding copious creamers, flavoring, and sweeteners. Sludge is apparently when you create barriers or extra work for someone. For example, putting the healthy food at the back of the grocery store is sludge; making an applicant for health insurance climb the flight of stairs to the office - weeding out those less fit - is also sludge. Prior-auth forms? Sludge. Examples of nudges, some based in health care, others in coffee. This specific study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, was conducted in 17 ICUs in North Carolina. Many were community hospitals. Participants were critically ill and intubated. Clinicians were randomized to 4 groups: Usual care Prognosis nudge - EHR prompt asking, do you think your patient will be alive in 6 months? This is called a focusing effect Comfort care nudge - EHR prompt asking if they'd offered comfort-focused care. This is called accountable justification - an appeal to standards of care for critically ill patients endorsed by multiple professional societies. Both the prognosis and comfort care nudge. A few key points of discussion: Is an EHR prompt a nudge or sludge? The intervention was a negative study for the primary outcome, hospital length of stay. Why? The prognosis nudge did nothing. What to make of that? Would you think an EHR nudge to consider prognosis might move the needle, at least on some outcomes? The nudge toward offering comfort care led to more hospice and early comfort-care orders. Is this due to chance alone, given the multiplicity of secondary outcomes examined? Or is it a tantalizing finding that suggests a remarkably low cost EHR based nudge might, on a population level, lead to critical care clinicians offering comfort care and hospice more frequently? Imagine! -Alex Smith

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE KEEPS DISCOVERING THE UNEXPLAINED IN THE CREATION OF GALAXIES. 1/4: Flashes of Creation: George Gamow, Fred Hoyle, and the Great Big Bang Debate, by Paul Halpern 1618 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.

COSMOLOGY ERUPTS WITHIN OUR LIFE TIMES: 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. 1968 ISAAC ASSIMOV
