The Director of Strategy and Campaigns at polling firm Redbridge, Kosmos Samaras (pictured), explains the ever-unfolding intricacies of elections, emphasising the importance of climate change.This educational and revealing webinar - "Why We Shouldn't Be Held Hostage to the Past: Unlocking the Consensus on Pricing Pollution" - was organised by The Superpower Institute.In this third webinar in TSI's series supporting The Case for Pricing Pollution, Kos Samaras, Director and co-founder of Redbridge Group, unpacks new national polling on public attitudes to pollution, fairness, and Australia's gas resources - and what those views mean for the prospects of reform.Redbridge Group recently conducted national quantitative and qualitative research into Australian voter sentiment on pollution, economic fairness, and fossil fuel taxation, exploring how people think about these issues in the context of cost-of-living pressures and broader concerns about economic fairness.The findings cut through long-held and outdated assumptions about carbon pricing and shed light on:where public support is strongest,what issues policymakers need to manage, andwhere the real political obstacles to adoption lie.This conversation focuses squarely on political shifts, and how proposals such as a Polluter Pays Levy and a Fair Share Levy are likely to land with voters.

The search for Nancy Guthrie entered its twelfth day with the recovery of the case's first significant physical evidence and the deployment of the FBI's elite tactical unit to Tucson.FBI agents searching desert roadways in the Catalina Foothills recovered a pair of black latex gloves from the area surrounding Nancy's home. The Pima County Sheriff's Department confirmed the discovery. The gloves resemble those worn by the masked individual seen in doorbell camera footage and are being tested for DNA and fingerprints. The forensic question at the center of this evidence — whether the glove interior touched skin directly — will determine if investigators can extract a usable DNA profile.The FBI's Hostage Rescue Team arrived in Tucson Wednesday, a tactical unit deployed when hostage recovery operations may be necessary. The FBI has not commented on HRT's presence, but their deployment twelve days into a case with no confirmed proof of life signals investigators may believe a recovery scenario is possible.Doorbell footage is undergoing advanced analytics including AI-enhanced facial geometry mapping, technology that attempts to identify features through the ski mask fabric. Investigators are also pursuing retail purchase records for the Ozark Trail backpack, ski mask, gloves, and other items visible in the footage, cross-referencing sales across Tucson-area retailers to build a timeline leading to identification.TMZ received a third note Wednesday from someone claiming to know the kidnapper's identity and demanding one bitcoin for the information — a separate individual from the original ransom sender. The original ransom bitcoin wallet also showed its first activity, though the transaction's significance is unknown.The Pima County Sheriff's Department has not held a press briefing in nearly a week. Nancy Guthrie has a pacemaker, requires daily medication the sheriff himself has called potentially fatal to miss, and cannot walk fifty yards on her own. Both ransom deadlines have passed. No proof of life. No confirmed contact with whoever took her.

Almost 100 years since the founding of the Moslem Brotherhood, it remains one of the most influential Islamist movements in the Middle East, and one of the most dangerous in the world. Several Arab countries have banned the Brotherhood, yet they remain an existential threat. Most recently the US has banned three of its chapters, but much more needs to be done. Qatar and Turkey, two countries that have not only NOT banned the Brotherhood, but which are state outposts whose leaders and institutions embrace its ideology have not been banned.

From there, things only get wilder—near-disasters at the pool, well-meaning Bible knowledge shouted at the worst possible moment, a youth trip that goes sideways after midnight, a fishing lesson that turns into a biological hazard, and a sermon illustration that somehow ends with flashing lights and very real consequences.

The kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie has entered a critical and deeply unsettling phase as federal authorities confirm that a man was detained overnight in connection with the high-profile disappearance. Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie, has now been missing for 11 days in a case that has gripped national headlines and sparked a massive true crime investigation.According to breaking news developments, law enforcement executed a high-risk vehicle stop involving a DoorDash driver believed to be connected to the kidnapping. SWAT teams conducted the stop, a maneuver typically reserved for situations involving credible threats and urgent operational intelligence. Authorities later clarified that the individual was detained, not arrested, and was ultimately released after being cleared. The search warrant executed at his residence, located roughly 12 miles from the Mexican border and south of Tucson, signals that investigators believed they had actionable information. Whether that lead stemmed from a tip, digital tracking, surveillance footage, or delivery records remains unclear.The FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team was reportedly deployed, a costly and rare escalation that typically indicates authorities believe a victim may still be alive and recoverable. That deployment fueled hope that Nancy Guthrie might be located quickly. However, no recovery has been announced, and the case remains an active missing person investigation.Investigators are closely analyzing surveillance footage from the night of the abduction, including images of a masked suspect who appears to have deliberately covered a security camera with tree branches before entering the property. Blood evidence confirmed to belong to Nancy Guthrie was found at the scene. Analysts are reportedly examining shoe impressions, possible tattoos, distinctive eyebrows, and clothing details to build a clearer suspect profile.Meanwhile, suspicious ransom demands circulated through media outlets, raising concerns about potential extortion attempts commonly seen in high-profile missing person cases. The FBI continues to follow every lead as more than 100 agents work alongside local authorities.As the mystery deepens and scrutiny intensifies, one question remains at the center of this breaking true crime story: where is Nancy Guthrie?#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #BreakingNews #TrueCrime #MissingPerson #KidnappingCase #FBIInvestigation #HostageRescueTeam #CrimeNews #Justice

Dr. Robert Lustig—pediatric endocrinologist, bestselling author, and one of the clearest voices on what's happened to our food—joins host Ginny Yurich on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast for a conversation that feels equal parts wake-up call and real hope. Lustig explains why so much chronic disease isn't really “druggable” but foodable, how ultra-processed food quietly sabotages the mitochondria that power everything, and why the “calories in, calories out” story is the perfect industry shield. Along the way, he breaks down the eight internal “pathologies” that turn our bodies from a shiny red Corvette into a jalopy, shows why kids are paying the price first (from school lunches to baby food), and offers a simple way forward that doesn't require perfection—just a steady return to real food.

In this episode, Chuck Todd reacts to the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, then examines the political shockwaves rippling through Washington after Donald Trump’s controversial and widely condemned post about the Obamas, placing it within the broader context of Trump’s long history of racial controversies and growing unease inside his own coalition. As criticism emerges from Republican lawmakers, conservative legal voices, and even Olympic athletes, Todd explores signs that Trump’s influence may be weakening—fueled by internal party fractures, controversial foreign policy moves, and a leadership circle increasingly insulating him from reality. With a surge of congressional retirements, warning signs from special elections, and historical trends favoring the opposition party, the conversation turns to whether Republicans are heading toward a major electoral setback—and whether worsening controversies, including ongoing fallout from Epstein-related revelations, could further reshape the political landscape before November. Finally, Chuck comments on the fallout from the mass layoffs at the Washington Post, hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the history of the Iranian revolution as tensions mount between the U.S. & Iran, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

In this episode, Chuck Todd reacts to the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, then examines the political shockwaves rippling through Washington after Donald Trump’s controversial and widely condemned post about the Obamas, placing it within the broader context of Trump’s long history of racial controversies and growing unease inside his own coalition. As criticism emerges from Republican lawmakers, conservative legal voices, and even Olympic athletes, Todd explores signs that Trump’s influence may be weakening—fueled by internal party fractures, controversial foreign policy moves, and a leadership circle increasingly insulating him from reality. With a surge of congressional retirements, warning signs from special elections, and historical trends favoring the opposition party, the conversation turns to whether Republicans are heading toward a major electoral setback—and whether worsening controversies, including ongoing fallout from Epstein-related revelations, could further reshape the political landscape before November. Then, former White House Chief of Staff & Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces shaping America’s political and economic future. He discusses why the 2028 election will be about what’s ahead—not what’s behind—and argues that understanding AI, energy, and the changing nature of work is now essential for anyone seeking leadership. Emanuel makes the case that education and vocational training remain the clearest pathway to the middle class, warns about declining reading proficiency, and examines what schools must do to prepare students for a rapidly evolving world. He also explores how both parties lost their way on education, why fundamentals matter, and what voters are really demanding from the system. The discussion then turns sharply to politics, power, and the health of American institutions. Emanuel weighs in on Trump-era controversies, Congress’s weakened role, and concerns about election integrity and the post-election environment. He outlines how Democrats can rebuild a winning coalition by welcoming independents and former Republicans, focusing on economic fairness, and preparing for a potential 2026 wave election. The episode closes with a global lens—covering U.S.–Israel dynamics, political polarization, wealth inequality, and whether national service could help reunite a fractured country—framing a central question: if the midterms fail to reset the trajectory, what comes next for American democracy? Finally, Chuck comments on the fallout from the mass layoffs at the Washington Post, hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the history of the Iranian revolution and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

They examine the IDF's report citing 73,000 fighter deaths in Gaza, and the controversy surrounding International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemorations that failed to mention Jews. The conversation also turns to troubling headlines out of New York City, including antisemitic incidents such as a car ramming outside a synagogue in Crown Heights and the decision by Encyclopedia Britannica to replace "Israel" with "Palestine." Dan Senor speaks with Mark Dubowitz, founder of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and foreign policy advisor Yonatan Adiri about the likelihood of American military action, potential retaliation and the broader regional fallout. And children's entertainer Ms. Rachel addresses the controversy after she says she inadvertently "liked" and then deleted an overtly antisemitic post. She speaks with Barak Schwartz about how the incident went viral and the backlash that followed. Thank you for listening, subscribing and sharing The Third Opinion Podcast!

How to Take Care of Yourself as an Overwhelmed Homeschool Mom: What Self-Care Actually Is This month’s 1% Pivot: Nurture Yourself to Nurture Them—because if you’ve been wondering how to take care of yourself as an overwhelmed homeschool mom and nurture the nurturer, this episode is for you. By year 15 of homeschooling, I had written nearly 600 blog posts—every Wednesday night at Starbucks, processing my journey through words. That writing became therapy, self-discovery, and emotional regulation. And in 2018, it became a book that would resonate with thousands of exhausted homeschool moms. This month’s 1% Pivot: Nurture Yourself to Nurture Them. Because homeschool moms give endlessly—but so often, we forget that we need nurturing too. And when we’re depleted, our kids feel it. What You’ll Discover in This Episode  What Self-Care Actually Is: Why self-care isn’t about bubble baths and manicures How to address your internal world How to recognize the invisible load of motherhood How you show up in relationship to yourself—and others The Invisible Load You’re Carrying: Managing everyone’s emotional state Holding the family culture Making a thousand micro-decisions a day Navigating sibling conflicts Keeping the household running And somehow also supposed to enjoy doing it all The Three Questions That Changed Everything:  When overwhelm rises, put your hand on your heart and ask: How do I feel? What am I thinking? Is that thought true? Not to convince yourself everything is fine—but to get clear and accurate about what’s actually happening inside you.  Self-care isn’t about the nail studio. It’s about caring for the part of you that you’ve been ignoring. The part of you that deserves to be known. Why This Matters for Your Kids:  Your kids don’t need you to have it all together. They need you to model what it looks like to come back to yourself when you’ve lost it. They need to see that emotions are okay to feel—and then you ask yourself what you need.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US reporter Luke Tress joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. WATCH the full episode here: Following reports of an anti-Zionist protest in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square, Tress discusses concerns that the rhetoric at such gatherings has become more violent. After the final grassroots rally for hostages held at New York City's Central Park, Tress reports on the weekly gatherings, which continued until the body of the last hostage, fallen police officer Ran Gvili, was brought home for burial. More details have emerged on the perpetrator of the car ramming last week at the Chabad headquarters in Brooklyn, reports Tress, although the full story remains murky. Finally, Tress reviews the formation of an antisemitism task force in the New York City Council, whose speaker, Julie Menin, offers a more centrist Democratic approach than that of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with The Times of Israel's senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur. The body of the final hostage, Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, was recovered from the Gaza Strip this week and buried on Wednesday in his hometown of Meitar. Rettig Gur delves into the deep Jewish roots and societal promise to bring every last person home that led to this moment of relief. We then hear about the likelihood of realizing the vision that US envoy Jared Kushner laid out last week about a flourishing, reconstructed "New Gaza." And so this week, we ask Haviv Rettig Gur, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Meanwhile, the world looks to Washington, waiting to see when, where and whether Donald Trump will order a strike against Iran. Yonit and Jonathan unpack what this new reality means — for Israel, for the region and for a war that refuses to end cleanly. They also examine Benjamin Netanyahu's latest accusation - that Israeli soldiers lost their lives because of what he called an “arms embargo” imposed by Joe Biden - and why he made it now. Plus: Listeners' Therapy returns. Unholy is joined once again by renowned psychotherapist Dr Orna Guralnik for a second session — this time with Lee and Marion, an American-Israeli couple wrestling with a question that has become agonisingly familiar to many Jewish families: where should we raise our children?
