Native New Yorker Bryan Stern served in both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy; worked in military intelligence; is a Purple Heart recipient; 9/11 survivor; and a first responder. As a private citizen frustrated with the debacle that was the U.S. pullout from Afghanistan under the Biden administration, Bryan founded Grey Bull Rescue – a team of military vets who donate their time to rescue people caught in the worst countries in the world, and also aid in stateside catastrophes. In this first operation they helped evacuate 117 American citizens left to face the Taliban alone after the military withdrew.Since that first adventure, GBR has conducted over 600 missions around the globe, including in Ukraine. Bryan shares some of his high-octane adventures, and explains how mind over muscle is the way to find a solution to the tightest scrapes, and why Grey Bull is the best, last resource if you're a high-risk hostage or trapped behind enemy lines.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Send us Fan MailOn Serving God, Not Being Religious with Dr. Elad Ben Elul & Rabbi Manis FriedmanIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast, Rivkah and Eda sit down with Dr. Elad Ben Elul and Rabbi Manis Friedman on their book I Didn't Ask to Be Born and its core idea: Judaism isn't about being "religious" or what we need from God, but what God needs from us — asking daily, "What does God need from me today?" Ben Elul shares his Jewish awakening during fieldwork in West Africa, caught between secular Tel Aviv and an enclosed religious world, until Friedman's lecture "Why You Shouldn't Be Religious" reframed Jewish life as mission. Friedman traces this to his outreach starting in 1970 and its path to the book's Israeli success. They cover mitzvot, purpose, soulmates and marriage, hostages who found mission in captivity, teaching Tanya, Chabad's nonjudgment, and audience Q&A on dating, marriage, and identity.Get the book, I Didn't Ask to Be Born: Understanding the Purpose of Our Creation: https://amzn.to/4bxqnrFEPISODE SPONSORSSwimplyRent a private pool by the hour, right in your own city — no crowds, no chaos, just your family or friends in your own space, with over 15,000 pools across the US, Canada, and Australia.Download the app or visit Swimply.com — code INSIDEOUT10 for 10% off your next booking!BINABina walks alongside families from the moment someone they love suffers a brain injury, through every stage of recovery.

President Trump is ramping up pressure on Iran as the regime releases American hostage Dina Karari after more than 18 months in detention. Buck breaks down what her release signals, the ongoing U.S. military campaign against Iranian targets, and the growing tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy chokepoints. From military strikes and oil market implications to the Trump administration's strategy of maximum pressure, Buck examines what these developments could mean for Iran, the Middle East, and global stability.

Welcome to the Homeschool Mom Book Club 2026 — a year of reading chosen entirely for you. Can I ask you a question? Who is nurturing you? It’s a question most homeschool moms never get asked. We pour everything into our children — our time, our creativity, our patience, our presence — and somewhere in all that nurturing, we forget that we are humans with needs too. Who Is Nurturing You? I’ve been there. I spent years showing up for everyone else and calling what was left of me enough. Occasional Wednesday nights at Starbucks with a latte and a journal were the thing that kept me going. I thought that was enough. It wasn’t. It’s cliche, but it’s true: I was surviving, not thriving. I craved time to read and write and learn for myself — not just enabling it for the kids. And when I began reading for me, I realized I could answer some of the challenges I was noticing in my homeschool family. After nearly two decades homeschooling and six years coaching women who home educate, I’ve learned that books, and their authors, can be incredible resources for us as home educators. I’ve also learned, from my own life, and the lives of other homeschool moms, we consistently DON’T put ourselves on our to-do lists. We leave our needs, our interests, our rabbit trails last on our lists. Our social lives can be abysmal (funny that onlookers are concerned that our kids aren’t socialized, when mom is driving them hither and yon, waiting in the parking lot while they meet new friends and do cool things). That’s why the Homeschool Mom Book Club 2026 exists. And that’s why I want to invite you into the 2026 lineup — twelve books, one per month, chosen entirely for the woman doing this work every single day. A Gift for the Mama Who Keeps Coming Last If you’ve been putting yourself last in your homeschool, I made something for you. It’s called the Permission Slip — 14 daily anchor practices for the homeschool mama who keeps coming last. It’s free and it’s yours. Grab it here: Yes, I Give Myself Permission You Are the Most Important Curriculum in Your Homeschool Before we get to the books, I want to say something I come back to again and again in my coaching work with homeschool moms: You are the most important curriculum in your homeschool. Not the books you choose for your kids. Not the actual curriculum you pull out each morning. And not the co-op or the field trips or the Charlotte Mason inspired nature study either. You. The way you show up. The way you regulate. Even the curiosity you model. The grace you extend — to your kids and to yourself. That is what your children are absorbing every single day. So investing in yourself isn’t something you do when you finally have time. It’s the most important work you can do for your homeschool. And a good book — and a community of women to think about it with — is one of the most accessible ways to begin. How the Homeschool Mama Book Club 2026 Works One book a month. Twelve months. Four quarterly themes that build on each other — so the reading isn’t just a list but a year-long conversation with yourself. When you’re listening to yourself, able to hear two thoughts in a row (because you know that is hard to do with kids afoot), and willing to unpack the challenges in your homeschool mom life, you’ll move toward enjoying the charms of your homeschool family life. And here’s the part I want you to hear clearly: you don’t have to read the book to show up. I know, crazy, right? A book club where you don’t HAVE to read. Of course, you’ll be more deeply benefited if you do. But I know I wouldn’t have been able to read a book a month in my busiest homeschool years and I’m certainly not expecting it of anyone else. Come for the conversation, come for the community, and come because for one Friday morning a month someone is asking what you think and what you need. Every month in the Confident Homeschool Mom Collective we gather for four Friday sessions built around each book: Roundtable Chat — the big question the book is really asking Book Club Discussion — diving into the ideas together Writer’s Room — putting pen to paper on what surfaced for you Actionable Strategies — taking what you learned and building it into your real homeschool life https://youtu.be/WX9ALm-uODU?si=j3xVN-WWRQWkyJWm The 2026–2027 Homeschool Mama Book Club Lineup ☀️ Summer — Your Inner Life June, July, August We start by turning inward. Before we can talk about education philosophy or creative practice we need to know ourselves a little better first. June — Atlas of the Heart by Brené BrownDo you actually know what you’re feeling — or are you just reacting to it? Brown maps 87 emotions and gives you the vocabulary to finally understand what’s happening inside you — and why it matters for every relationship in your home. July — The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne StabileWhy do you parent and teach the way you do? This warm, witty introduction to the Enneagram helps you understand your core motivations, your stress responses, and the invisible rules you’ve been living by without even knowing it. And when you join the Confident Homeschool Mom Collective (where the Homeschool Mama Book Club lives, you’ll have access to a workshop on how the Enneagram works in your homeschool family.) August — The Life That’s Waiting by Brianna WiestWhat would your life look like if you stopped forcing it and started living it? Wiest’s newest collection of essays is for the mom who has been pushing herself toward a life that doesn’t quite fit — and is finally ready to choose differently.

This ICYMI episode takes you back to March 30, 1980. The hostage crisis in Iran was underway. It had been 149 days since Iranian students had initially taken 66 Americans hostage at the United States embassy in Tehran. Canadian diplomats had recently helped six American slip out country. The story made international headlines and was a point of pride for many Canadians. But not everyone was happy to be helping the U.S. administration. Ken Taylor was the Canadian Ambassador to Iran and helped the Americans escape. He was was on Cross Country Checkup on March 30, 1980.

Rabbi Pinchas Allouche, head Rabbi at Congregation Beth Tefillah in Scottsdale, and the host of the Rabbi Allouche podcast, joins Seth for the full hour to talk about this week's Torah portion and his recent experiences on a trip to Israel, including a moving wedding between two former hostages of the Gaza war who found love and joy in the midst of suffering. He shares a powerful story about the groom who lost his leg in battle and yet still found a way to celebrate his wedding with his new prosthetic limb. These stories highlight the resilience and strength of the human spirit, and the importance of finding hope and joy even in the darkest of times.The conversation also delves into the importance of words and the power of speech, with Rabbi Allouche explaining how our words can either build or destroy, and how we must be careful with what we say.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Graham Platner, the scandal-plagued Democrat Senate nominee in Maine, is refusing to drop out of his race unless he gets to hand-pick his own successor — even as a rape allegation from ex-girlfriend Jenny Racicot piles on top of a growing list of red flags Democrats ignored for months. Todd breaks down the hostage standoff, draws the parallel to how the party pushed out Biden in 2024, and walks through where real conservatism sits on the political spectrum versus the false left-right framing you were taught in school.Then, day two of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing in the Charlie Kirk assassination case brings new surveillance video and testimony placing him on campus with a concealed rifle. Conservative, not bitter.

Transitioning from homeschooling the early years to high school is a significant shift—for both you and your teen. It's not just about choosing the right curriculum or making sure they meet graduation requirements. It’s about fostering independence, supporting their personal growth, and adjusting to your evolving role as a homeschool mom as you navigate homeschool high school. If you're wondering how to confidently guide your homeschooler through these years, know that this is a typical concern at this transition season. Let's explore what this transition really looks like and how you can set your teen (and yourself) up for a satisfying experience. https://youtu.be/j7MClbBT3Sw?si=X-6czZiT2yXcryp_ How to Succeed at Navigating Homeschool High School with Confidence “Am I Covering Enough?” The Silent Worry of Every Homeschool Mom A homeschool mom recently shared with me: “Oh man, I am in that zone of figuring out how to finish the year in a fun, explorative way while also battling those ‘Am I covering enough?' thoughts. I know we're really okay, but I think it gets stressful as I'm listening to other families beginning to worry about high school and college. I don't want my kids' education to be reduced to a test score, but I do wonder if it would be easier than compiling a portfolio for each child.” Does this sound familiar? If you're navigating the transition from “learning through play” to “we should probably get serious about high school credits,” you are not alone. This shift is natural. But it doesn't mean you have to homeschool from a place of fear. Let’s talk about what really matters in these years—and how you can navigate homeschool high school with confidence. The Emotional Side of Navigating Homeschool High School One of the biggest challenges of homeschooling the high school years isn't just academics—it's navigating the emotional transition. One day, you're tucking them into bed with bedtime stories. The next, they're staying up later than you. One day, you'll be solving sibling conflicts. The next, they're telling you, “Mom, I got this.” Your role is shifting from hands-on teacher to supportive guide. And that shift isn't always smooth. It's okay to feel moments of panic. It's okay to wonder if you've done enough. And it's okay to grieve the little years while also embracing this new chapter. What’s most important is that your teen feels empowered and supported as you both navigate homeschool high school together. You’ve Already Succeeded — Navigating Homeschool High School Is the Next Step High school doesn’t have to be scary. Remember when you first began homeschooling and everything felt overwhelming? You conquered that challenge, and now you can master this high school transition too. A Guide Built for the Mom, Not Just the Curriculum My guide “Mindsets for Homeschool Mamas: Navigate Homeschool High School with Confidence” is designed specifically for YOU – not your homeschool teen – because your mindset and well-being are the foundation of a successful homeschool high school experience. This isn’t another homeschool high school curriculum guide. This is about your journey as you guide your teen through these transformative years. High school homeschooling brings new responsibilities, but it also offers incredible opportunities to: Customize learning to your teen’s unique passions and future goals Strengthen your relationship during these pivotal years of development Create a high school experience that aligns with your family’s values Prepare your teen for independence while maintaining meaningful connection What’s Included in “Mindsets for Homeschool Mamas” 1: Setting Your Homeschool High School Foundation Clarify your academic, personal growth, and family goals Guided journal prompts to address your concerns Define what success truly means for YOUR family during high school 2: Communication Strategies for the Teen Years Navigate changing dynamics as your teen grows more independent Discussion frameworks for collaborating on curriculum choices Ways to support your teen’s emotional well-being during this transition 3: Self-Care for the Homeschool Mom Practical wellness strategies that fit into your busy schedule Permission to prioritize your growth alongside your teen’s Tools to maintain joy and purpose throughout the high school journey Why This Guide Is Different Most high school homeschool resources focus on academic requirements, transcripts, and college preparation. While those are obviously important, they miss the most crucial element: YOU. Your mindset, well-being, and confidence directly impact your homeschool atmosphere. This guide addresses the human side of homeschooling high school – your thoughts, emotions, and growth as a mother during this season as you navigate homeschool high school. What Other Homeschool Moms Are Saying “Teresa is the real deal! An experienced homeschool Mom who’s been there and can help others get out of overwhelm. Her ability to hold space for silence and difficult feelings makes her “no small talk” approach so effective. I trust her. Her retreat, resources and ask me anything meetings have served me tremendously. I’m so glad she’s in my corner!” –Homeschool Mom of 2 Get Your Guide Here → Mindset Shifts for Homeschool Moms: Thriving Through the High School Years Confidently Homeschool Through the High School Years $12.99 $10.99 Shop now Get your Guide Here!

Shop now Building a High School Plan While Navigating Homeschool High School Once your mindset feels steadier, the next layer is practical: building an actual plan. This is where you’ll face a new set of questions: Should we follow a traditional four-year plan? What if my teen wants to go to college? How do I balance structured learning with their individual interests? What about transcripts and credits? Instead of feeling overwhelmed, approach high school as a personalized journey. Here’s how: Four Ways to Build a Plan That Fits Your Teen ✔ Start with the Big Picture — Think about where your teen might be headed in four years. Are they considering college? A trade? Entrepreneurship? Plan backward from their goals while leaving room for flexibility. ✔ Lean Into Their Strengths & Interests — High school is an opportunity for teens to explore their passions. Whether it’s literature, science, the arts, or hands-on learning, tailor their education to keep them engaged. ✔ Consider Alternative Learning Paths — High school doesn’t have to look like a traditional classroom. Dual enrollment, apprenticeships, online courses, and independent study can all be valuable options. ✔ Encourage Ownership of Their Learning — The high school years should prepare your teen for adulthood. Give them increasing responsibility for managing their schedule, completing assignments, and setting personal goals. If this feels overwhelming, take a deep breath. You don’t have to figure it all out overnight. A flexible, personalized approach is key to making these years work for your family while navigating homeschool high school.

The other half is a question a lot of homeschool moms don’t expect to face while navigating homeschool high school: what about your plan? Just as your teen is stepping into a new stage, so are you. Homeschooling through high school often brings up deeper questions: What’s next for me? How do I redefine my role beyond “homeschool mom”? Am I ready for this next phase of my own life? This is why I created the Living Your Life on Purpose Checklist. It’s designed to help homeschool moms reflect on their own journey and step into the next season with confidence. As we guide our kids toward independence, we have to honour our own growth too. Get Your Free Checklist Now → Does Homeschooling Feel Like It’s Pulling You in Too Many Directions? If that question about your own next chapter stirred something, you’re not alone there either. You likely started homeschooling with a deep desire to create a meaningful, connected learning experience for you and your kids. But somewhere along the way, the overwhelm, the exhaustion, and the never-ending to-do lists made you wonder: Am I really doing enough? How do I stay intentional when I’m just trying to keep up? What happens when my role as a homeschool mom changes — how do I find purpose then? I’ve been there. Every homeschool mom faces seasons of doubt, burnout, and transition while navigating homeschool high school. But the good news is you can realign with your purpose and homeschool in a way that truly works for your family. Get Your Free Checklist Now → Get Your Free Checklist Now!

You're Starting Fresh. If homeschool high school feels like unfamiliar territory — even after years of homeschooling — that makes complete sense. But here's what I want you to remember: you are not starting over. You are starting fresh. Everything you have learned about your child — how they think, how they learn, what lights them up and what shuts them down — you bring all of that into these high school years with you. That knowledge doesn't disappear. It deepens. The spiral you might be feeling right now isn't a sign that you're behind. It's just your brain catching up to what your gut already knows — this child is worth figuring out. And you are exactly the right person to do it. You've already proven that. You just have to trust it. And if you need someone in your corner while you do — I'm here. Book a free Aligned Homeschool Reset Session and let's think through it together.

Most of us think of negotiation as something reserved for high-stakes boardrooms—or even hostage situations. But Christopher Voss, former FBI lead hostage negotiator and bestselling author of Never Split the Difference, says negotiation is everywhere: in salary talks, in team meetings, even in conversations with your kids.  In this episode from the Hello Monday archives, Jessi Hempel sits down with Chris to explore how we can all become better negotiators by focusing on empathy, collaboration, and trust. Drawing on decades of experience, Chris shares practical tools you can use to move conversations forward—whether you're asking for a raise, dealing with a difficult boss, or navigating conflict at home. Chris and Jessi discuss: Why negotiation is really about collaboration and long-term relationships How to shift from seeking control to building influence The power of labeling emotions to build trust and lower defenses Why “no” is often more powerful than “yes” How to recognize when a negotiation is over—or when it's time to walk away Strategies to reframe salary conversations and show your value This episode was recorded live in-studio.

Trump made $2 billion while his own crypto investors lost their shirts — and that's just the opening story. This week on Political Rehab, Republican strategist Matt Wylie calls his own party's Trump-branded midterm convention plan "a hostage video with balloons," the Supreme Court hands Trump sweeping new power to fire independent regulators, Clarence Thomas drops a 91-page dissent warning he'll come for birthright citizenship again, and a campaign finance ruling quietly hands Republicans what Matt Robison calls "a billion-dollar hammer" heading into the midterms. Plus: this week's Battlefield midterm dashboard, and two very different doses of hope.Political Rehab is the show where PTI meets The Daily Show — one Republican strategist, one former Democratic Hill staffer, no scripts, no spin, just the week's biggest political stories argued out loud.

Coming back from the NHL Draft, NHL Insider Sean Shapiro discusses the experience and his takeaways from the draft. Should Stars fans think Jason Robertson is holding them hostage? Sean says Robertson is seeking the money he believes he is worth. He's not holding anyone hostage, he is looking for the best deal for him. Gavin says the Stars could trade Robertson whenever they want, that's not him holding them hostage. Sean says if Dallas pursues Werenski, Larkin and Knies, they will have to give up Harley and Bourque.

What would you do if your commercial flight was hijacked by armed terrorists and you didn't know if you'd ever see your family again?In this gripping episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro welcome Mimi Nichter, award-winning anthropologist, professor emerita, and author of Hostage: A Memoir of Terrorism, Trauma, and Resilience.At just 20 years old, Mimi boarded what she believed would be a routine flight home from Israel in 1970. Instead, her plane was hijacked by armed militants from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and diverted to the Jordanian desert, where she endured nearly a month as a hostage in sweltering heat, surrounded by armed militants and the uncertainty of whether she would ever make it home alive. The hijacking of TWA Flight 741 became one of the defining acts of modern international terrorism and a pivotal moment in aviation history that changed air travel forever.But this conversation goes far beyond a remarkable survival story.Mimi reveals how the emotional wounds of terrorism lingered for decades, why she remained silent for more than 50 years, and what finally gave her the courage to confront her trauma and reclaim her voice. Together, Shelley, Kathy and Mimi explore identity under pressure, the psychology of survival, resilience after unimaginable adversity, and the long journey from fear to healing.Whether you're fascinated by history, inspired by stories of resilience, or seeking hope after life's most difficult challenges, this unforgettable conversation offers powerful lessons about courage, healing, and the resilience of the human spirit.In this episode:• Surviving one of history's most significant airplane hijackings• What it's really like to be held hostage• The psychology of fear, trauma, and resilience• Why trauma can remain silent for decades• Finding healing after unimaginable adversity• Choosing courage over fear• How one ordinary woman became part of history• The lasting effects of PTSD and emotional traumaGuest: Mimi NichterBook: Hostage: A Memoir of Terrorism, Trauma, and ResilienceIf this episode inspires you, please follow Women Road Warriors, leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and share it with someone who believes in the power of resilience, hope and the strength of the human spirit.https://www.amazon.com/Hostage-Memoir-Terrorism-Trauma-Resilience/dp/1640126848https://www.miminichter.com/https://www.instagram.com/miminichter/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mimi-nichter-30673313/https://x.com/MimiNichterwww.womenroadwarriors.comwww.womenspowernetwork.net#hijacking #hostage #TWAFlight741 #terrorism #resilience #trauma #healing #PTSD #MimiNichter #ShelleyJohnson #KathyTuccaro #WomenRoadWarriors

A war the country thought was over is back on, a housing bill almost everyone in Congress agreed on is frozen on the President's desk, and the Supreme Court just told the courts to stay out of its own immigration rulings. This week on Purple Political Breakdown, Radell Lewis connects one thread through all of it: a President who keeps choosing the fight over the people. In Nuanced News: the Iran ceasefire that already looks broken as fresh U.S. airstrikes hit this weekend, the Senate flip-flop on the Kaine War Powers resolution, and the Republican civil war brewing between Vance and Rubio for 2028. Then the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, passed 85 to 5 in the Senate and 358 to 32 in the House, and why Trump is holding it hostage for the SAVE America Act. Plus two 6 to 3 Supreme Court rulings that end Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians, restore border metering, and quietly strip the courts of the power to review any of it. In Breakdown in the Public: who gets to decide what is true now, from NewsGuard's AI news chatbot to AI cloning child performers' voices for Peppa Pig, to Russian money flowing into Europe's far right. In Research on a Dime: a wave of DSA and affordability-first primary wins, and Radell's read on whether this is a socialism revolt or just a country that is done overpaying for rent. We close on good news: mushrooms cleaning E. coli out of English rivers, a tooth-regrowth drug clearing its first human trial in Japan, and a Somerset farm roaring back to life.

Today's Headlines: In a rare occurrence, we're starting with good news. The FDA approved a new drug called Trodelvy that reduces aggressive triple-negative breast cancer progression by 40% compared to chemo — affecting 48,000 Americans a year — science is awesome. Zohran Mamdani swept Tuesday's New York primaries, no he wasn't on the ballot but all three of his DSA-endorsed challengers defeated incumbent Democrats including Dan Goldman and Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair Adriano Espaillat, triggering a full Democratic Party freakout — Letitia James called out Mamdani on CNN, former DNC chair Jaime Harrison posted a barely-veiled "if you hate the party don't use its resources" thread, and Mamdani responded with a Jalen Brunson clip from the Knicks parade. In Trump shenanigans, Donald admitted at a Pennsylvania rally that he personally called the US attorney in California to "take a look" at the governor's primary results, claiming Steve Hilton started winning about an hour after the call, which is either a confession of election interference or the most casual admission of abuse of power we've heard yet. He then refused to sign the bipartisan housing bill his own White House negotiated unless Republicans first pass the SAVE Act to overhaul voting laws before the midterms, got into a screaming match with Bill Cassidy at a Senate lunch over the Iran war vote. As expected, Speaker Mike Johnson immediately announced he'd push the SAVE Act through budget reconciliation to appease him — which is not what budget reconciliation is for, but here we are. In other news, Pete Hegseth forced out highly respected four-star General Christopher Donohue, who headed the Army in Europe and Africa, with more "personnel changes" expected next week as Hegseth continues his speed run of replacing competent military commanders with pliant ones. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte visited the Oval Office, kissed Trump's ring, and had to sit there while Trump ranted for the fourth consecutive day about someone cutting the reflecting pool with a box cutter. And finally, Bending Spoons — the Italian tech company that owns Vimeo, WeTransfer, AOL, and Eventbrite — is planning a $19 billion US IPO.

Together, they wipe off the patina of familiarity that beclouds the film, restoring it to its original weirdness. What is the organism that terrorizes the Nostromo?

In a stunning political move this week, President Donald Trump cancelled a planned ceremonial signing of a major bipartisan housing affordability bill at the Capitol. The bill, which passed both chambers of Congress by overwhelming margins, would have addressed critical housing affordability challenges facing Americans.Trump is using the bill as leverage to force lawmakers to pass his proposed "SAVE AMERICA ACT," which would implement a radical overhaul of voting procedures. In a post on Truth Social, Trump declared the housing news conference and signing cancelled "until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency."There has also been a significant legal setback for the Trump administration's immigration enforcement agenda comes from the ruling of a federal judge. U.S. District Judge P. Casey Potts ruled that ICE agents can no longer conduct arrests at immigration courthouses across the country. Judge Pitts, a Biden appointee, vacated the Trump administration's policies that were implemented via executive order last year, determining that the Department of Justice failed to provide adequate legal justification for the enforcement tactics. He called them "arbitrary and capricious," and said the Trump administration did not properly consider how arresting noncitizens at courthouses would impact people pursuing lawful immigration status. We welcome John Rothmann - presidential historian and the host of ‘Around the Political World with John Rothmann' to the show to discuss this and the latest on negotiations to end Trump‘s Iran war.The conversation continues as we welcome author and political commentator Jared Yates Sexton to the showThe Mark Thompson Show 6/24/26Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has refused to allow Florida resident Angela Perryman to leave the quarantine facility in Nebraska, because Florida has refused to comply with federal regulations on how to monitor her. Many people believe this standoff may be more about politics than public health, and 47-year-old Perryman is caught in the cross hairs. Perryman describes the quarantine like a prison, saying she doesn’t want to be dehumanized anymore and is appalled that RFK Jr “would override the doctor and violate the law just to keep me locked up.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
