It's Wednesday, June 11th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Islamic legal system discourages Christian conversion in Brunei, Iran & Yemen Christians face significant persecution in countries that follow Sharia law like Brunei, Iran, and Yemen.  The Islamic legal system is used to ban people from converting out of Islam to another religion.  International Christian Concern notes, “The abuse inflicted upon the Christians of these nations is an open secret.  … Forcing Christians into prisons — often under the guise of slanderous accusations, sexually assaulting Christian women, and forcing Christ followers into demeaning work has become commonplace in far too many nations.” Muslims experienced highest growth rate among religions Pew Research released a report on the growth of religious groups in the world between 2010 and 2020. All religious groups except Buddhists increased numerically during the time frame. Muslims grew the most, followed by the religiously unaffiliated. Christians increased by about five percent from 2.1 billion to 2.3 billion people.  As a share of the global population, only Muslims and the religiously unaffiliated experienced growth. Christians and Buddhists decreased as a share of the global population while Hindus, Jews, and other religions held steady. Muslims have a notably higher fertility rate than other religious groups around the world. Supreme Court affirmed right of Catholic group to tax exemption In the United States, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of a Catholic nonprofit last Thursday. The state of Wisconsin had denied a tax exemption for the Catholic Charities Bureau in 2016. The case went before the state Supreme Court which ruled against the nonprofit.  Nick Reaves, an attorney at Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, commented on the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling. He said, “When every justice agrees and says ‘Yes, this is foundational to our understanding of religious freedom, that you can't discriminate among religions,' that's really exciting for us.” RFK Jr. replaced entire Advisory Committee on Immunization The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is replacing the 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices. The committee makes vaccine recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Biden administration had appointed all 17 members. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. stated, “A clean sweep is necessary to reestablish public confidence in vaccine science. ACIP's new members will prioritize public health and evidence-based medicine. The Committee will no longer function as a rubber stamp for industry profit-taking agendas.” The younger the kids of divorce, the worse the trauma The National Bureau of Economic Research released a report last month about the effects of divorce on children. The study noted that nearly a third of American children experience parental divorce before adulthood. Children had more negative outcomes the younger they were when the divorce occurred.  Researchers wrote, “We find that parental divorce reduces children's adult earnings and college residence while increasing incarceration, mortality, and teen births.” Speaking of husband and wife, in Matthew 19:6, Jesus said, “So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man separate.” Trump: We “will always defend right of every American to worship God freely” The White House released a presidential message on Pentecost Sunday this week. The message from President Donald Trump said, “Today, I join in prayer with Christians joyfully celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost—one of the most sacred events of the Christian faith. We commemorate the fulfillment of Jesus Christ's earthly mission and the birth of His holy and living Church. "As we celebrate this glorious feast day, we also honor all Christians who, like the Apostles, have willingly endured persecution because of their faith.  My Administration will always defend the right of every American to worship God freely and without fear.” On the day of Pentecost, the Apostle Peter said,  “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38) Lesson from The American Miracle movie: “God governs in the affairs of men” If you have not yet seen The American Miracle, the new docudrama about God's providential hand in America's founding, then get tickets to see it tonight.  And bring a bunch of your friends with you. It's the last day it will be in the theaters. Actress Lauren Lael portrayed the daughter of a slave named Elizabeth “Mumbet” Freeman who was portrayed by Christian singer Nicole C. Mullen. Remarkably, the slave won her freedom in a Massachusetts court on August 22, 1781.  This is what Lauren Lael said. LAEL: “I think that one of the biggest Biblical themes that The American Miracle embodies is, I think, a spirit of integrity and a message of hope and a message also of connectedness, that really exalts God. This is such a pivotal time that this type of message needs to come out.” People who have seen the film have been reminded afresh of God's intervention in American history. TESTIMONIAL 1: “Something that I've learned in the film tonight is that we cannot underestimate how great our God is and how powerful He is, and how much He does govern the affairs of men." TESTIMONIAL 2: "It really reminded me how great our country is, because the Lord ordained America to be great.” TESTIMONIAL 3:  “I enjoyed it immensely. And I thought, if there's ever been any doubt about the faith and the beliefs of our founders, then this movie clears all that up and lets you know that, yes, they believed that God governs in the affairs of men.” Watch the trailer. Go to the website www.AmericanMiracleMovie.com, watch the trailer, click on the Tickets tab, type in your zipcode, and purchase tickets for tonight. It's the last night of a 3-night national run. 18 Worldview listeners gave $9,129 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this Friday, June 13th, 18 listeners stepped up to the plate.  We missed our 20-donor daily goal by two donors. Our thanks to Anna in Great Falls, Montana who gave $4, Trudy in Los Olivos, California and Gwyndol in Albany, Oregon – both of whom gave $25, as well as Cathy in Fate, Texas who gave $35. We appreciate Janet in Canton, Illinois, Ed in Ramara, Ontario Canada, Emily in DeForest, Wisconsin, Sheila in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, and Jess in  Forestville, California – each of whom gave $50. We're grateful to God for Titus in Omaha, Nebraska who gave $80, Kerry in Parowan, Utah who gave $100, Melissa in Great Falls, Montana who gave $110, and Calvin in Odessa, Minnesota  who gave $300. And we were touched by the generosity of Elizabeth in Carol Stream, Illinois  who gave $1,000, Keith and Lisa in Lansing, Michigan who gave $1,000, an anonymous donor in Texas who gave $1,000, Rick and Shannan in Lynchburg, Virginia who pledged $100 per month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who will match all four of those gifts with another $4,000. Those 18 Worldview listeners gave a total of $9,129.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $ 23,800.20 (People clapping sound effect) That means we still need to raise $37,949.80  by this Friday, June 13th to hit the half-way mark, to stay on the air, and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. In an audience of this size, I know that there is someone who could fund half of that amount with a one-time gift of $18,974.90. A couple of you could give a one-time gift of $5,000.  If you were one of 8 more people who could give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift. Could 10 of you pledge $100 per month for 12 months? And another 20 of you pledge $50/month for 12 months?  We could knock this annual budget out of the park overnight if everyone did something.

In this Power Producers Podcast episode, David Carothers sits down with Dylan Jordan from Amwins to discuss specialized niches within the insurance world, particularly focusing on the human services, healthcare, and life sciences markets. With only two months until Producers in Paradise 2025, the conversation covers a variety of challenges and opportunities in the current hard market, from navigating supplemental applications to understanding the unique risks of sectors like MediSpas and behavioral health. Dylan shares insights into Amwins' approach, the importance of micro-niches, and how they continue to provide solutions in challenging markets. They also dive into the latest trends in tort reform, staffing shortages in healthcare, and how producers can effectively position themselves in a competitive market. This episode is packed with practical advice for producers looking to specialize and stay ahead in the evolving insurance landscape.

Understanding Supplemental Applications Dylan emphasizes the importance of supplemental applications and how data gathering from clients is critical to ensuring comprehensive coverage in niche areas. Finding Opportunities in Emerging SectorsDavid and Dylan explore growing sectors like MediSpas and home healthcare, and how producers can capitalize on these opportunities by identifying gaps in coverage and leveraging specialized markets. The Role of Technology in Insurance They discuss the impact of new technologies, such as Assembly, that help agents streamline data collection and improve efficiency, particularly for complex policies.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed every member of CDC advisory committee this week. Congressman Mike Kennedy shares his input on this move and the work Robert F. Kennedy has been doing with Health and Human Services. Kennedy also comments about the current situation in Los Angeles as protests continue.  

When Donald Trump made an alliance with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., he brought vaccine skepticism and the debunked link between vaccines and autism into the center of the MAGA agenda. Though the scientific establishment has long disproven that link, as many as one in four Americans today believe that vaccines may cause autism. In April, Kennedy, now the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shocked the medical community and families across the country when he said that his agency would uncover the cause of autism—the subject of decades of research—once and for all. That news came even as Kennedy oversees drastic cuts to critical medical research of all kinds. Dr. Alycia Halladay, the chief science officer of the Autism Science Foundation, talks with David Remnick about the initiative, and the problems with focussing on environmental factors such as vaccines or mold. She also discusses why debunked claims and misinformation have such a powerful hold on parents. “You will do anything to help your child, so if it means a bleach enema”—referring to one extremely poisonous and falsely touted treatment—“and you think that's going to help them, you'll do it. It's not because these people don't love their children. It's because they're desperate.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

  One of the most encouraging public health initiatives to come along in several years is a state Department of Health and Human Services pilot program launched in 2022 called “Healthy Opportunities.” The program is based on the simple premise that providing for food, transportation, housing, and other non-medical health-related needs of people enrolled in […]

Staffers laid off from the Department of Health and Human Services this spring are suing the Trump Administration and are seeking class action status. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contradicts HHS's recent recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines for children. And, the annual cost of insuring a family tops $35 thousand.

Palm Beach County, Florida, was the epicenter of the state's opioid crisis for many years as pill mills and malfeasance plagued the county's communities. Since 2017, the county has been addressing the crisis, forming an advisory committee, appointing a drug czar and shifting its response toward a strategy centered on long-term recovery. With opioid settlement money to allocate over the next 20 years, the latest plan looks to spend 90% on social determinants of health—like job training, stable housing, and community support—and 10% on acute care. This paradigm shift is rethinking traditional approaches to addressing substance use disorders (SUD), placing recovery at the heart of government response. Palm Beach County Drug Czar John Hulick joins this episode to discuss this bold action and how other local governments can draw from the county's playbook to inform their own work on SUD.  John Hulick was Palm Beach County's Office of Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorders senior program manager and drug czar. He began serving in this position in 2018. He previously had focused on policy in New Jersey, being tapped to serve as former Governor Chris Christie's executive director of the Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse and serving as policy advisor to the governor for Human Services, Children, and Families in the Office of the Governor. He is an individual in long-term recovery and has also supported his daughter throughout her journey in recovery from addiction.More Links and InformationCheck out more Fors Marsh Media  Connect or partner with Fors Marsh  Read the Palm Beach County Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorder Plan

Paulo del Vecchio is a person in long-term recovery from mental health and addictions, who has been a leader in the peer recovery movement for 40 years. He recently completed a 30-year career at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, where he served in multiple roles including the director of the Center for Mental Health Services and the founding director of the Office of Recovery. Paolo is now an independent advocate, working to advance recovery-oriented policies and practices on national and international levels.

RFK, Jr.'s tenure at Health and Human Services is going from bad to worse, as he was busted AGAIN for putting fake studies in his recent MAHA report after he was supposed to remove them. To make matters worse, an old clip of him getting his butt handed to him on CNN has resurfaced and gone viral this week exposing him for being a massive liar. Donald Trump clearly believed that he could swagger back into the Oval Office and immediately start bossing around the rest of the world. The many failures that he has racked up since taking office prove that this isn't going to be the case, and he's actually going to have to use intelligence and diplomacy to solve problems. Unfortunately for him, those are two traits that he does not possess, which means it is going to be a very long 4 years. Farron Cousins explains what's happening. Rather than actually apologizing for her viral clip last week, Republican Senator Joni Ernst doubled down on it over the weekend with a video of herself in a cemetery mocking the people who are worried about the Republican budget bill. This led conservative pollster Sarah Longwell to speculate that Ernst might be suffering a genuine nervous breakdown right now as she continues to deal with the fallout from her flippant comment. Donald Trump is the only one not laughing about the TACO Trump nickname, and that might not be a good thing for American consumers. If Trump believes that we're all mocking him because he always chickens out, then next time he might keep tariffs in place just to teach us all a lesson. In other words, Trump's ego is hurt and he's going to make everyone else suffer because of it - and he's already working on a plan to do exactly that.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Welcome back to the Autism Little Learners Podcast. Today, I'm joined by two incredible guests—Dayna Harvey, a certified swim instructor who specializes in teaching autistic children, and Andy Roszak, an emergency preparedness expert who has worked with FEMA and the CDC. Together, we're diving into a topic that's incredibly important—and honestly, one that doesn't get talked about enough: water safety for autistic children. As a speech-language pathologist and someone who's worked closely with autistic children for over two decades, I've seen just how real the risks are. Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death for autistic kids, and it's something we have to bring more awareness to. In this episode, we're not just sharing facts and statistics—we're getting personal and practical. Dayna and Andy offer eye-opening insight and simple, proactive strategies that parents, caregivers, and educators can use right away. We'll talk about risk assessments, layers of protection, communication tools, and the role of community awareness in preventing tragedies. My goal with this conversation is to empower you with actionable steps so you can feel more confident and prepared when it comes to water safety. Let's work together to protect and support our little learners—not just in the classroom, but in every part of their lives. Bio Andy Roszak, JD, MPA, EMT-Paramedic is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Institute for Childhood Preparedness, where he leads efforts to strengthen emergency planning, disaster recovery, and resilience across early childhood and community-based settings. With more than 20 years of experience in public health, emergency management, and health policy, Andrew has worked at the local, state, federal, and nonprofit levels-supporting initiatives that help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from crises. Andy is a frequent contributor and subject matter expert for Sesame Street in Communities, where he supports efforts around preparedness, disaster response, and resilience for families and caregivers. A former firefighter, paramedic, and hazardous materials technician, he has also served as a Health Policy Fellow in the U.S. Senate, a senior advisor at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and as a Senior Preparedness Advisor supporting Super Bowl 46 and the Indianapolis 500. Andy is an award-winning author of the Preparing for the Unexpected book series, and his work has been recognized by organizations including the Red Cross, the City of El Paso, and Sesame Street, where he was named a Sesame Street Hero. His focus is on practical, real-world strategies to help individuals, organizations, and communities be better prepared for whatever challenges may come. Andy is the proud father of two daughters, aged 1 and 4. Dayna Harvey is a Water Safety and Drowning prevention educator as well as a Swim Lesson Teacher, who specializes in working with children with autism and their parents. She has been teaching swim lessons for the past 35 years and is certified through the Red Cross as well as a program called AutismSwim. Dayna is on a MISSION to educate and empower parents with information, strategies and hands on tools to help them keep their children safer in and around water because we MUST eradicate childhood drowning. The autism community saw more drownings in 2024 than in any year prior and that has intensified Dayna's commitment to reach more parents with her message and her methods. Dayna and the Waiting Whale kids, who she created to help engage both parents and children in the education process, have developed the "Where there is water, I will WAIT!" program and The Waiting Whales - Water Safety Kit Water Safety With Miss Dayna Links: www.WaterSafetyWithMissDayna.com www.Facebook.com/WaterSafetyWithMissDayna www.Instagram.com/WaterSafetyWithMissDayna Miss Dayna's Water Safety Kit: https://watersafetywithmissdayna.com/water-safety-kit Institute For Childhood Preparedness Links: https://www.childhoodpreparedness.org/ Free Safety-Related Social Stories: https://www.childhoodpreparedness.org/printables Takeaways Drowning is the leading cause of death for autistic children. Autistic children are 160 times more likely to drown than their neurotypical peers. 50% of autistic children have a tendency to wander or elope. Drowning is not a child problem; it is an adult problem. Parents need to be proactive in water safety education. Water safety education is different from swimming lessons. Visual supports and predictable routines are essential for teaching water safety. Community involvement is crucial in preventing drowning incidents. Layers of protection are needed with it comes to water safety. Teaching children to wait and understand boundaries around water is vital. Fear should not prevent families from enjoying water activities; education is key.

The Department of Health and Human Services cancels Moderna's multi-million-dollar award to develop an mRNA vaccine for influenza, including bird flu. CVS and Express Scripts sue Arkansas over state law restricting pharmacy benefit managers. And, a new study from Mass General Brigham finds that traditional diagnostic tools outperformed generative AI. Those stories coming up on today's episode of the Gist Healthcare podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr. Sterling Elliott, clinical pharmacist at Northwestern Medicine and assistant professor of orthopedics at Feinberg School of Medicine, joins Lisa Dent to discuss the changes to pharmacy benefit managers, their effect on prescription drug prices, Health and Human Services changing addiction drug availability, and more. And as always, Dr. Elliott answers questions from listeners.

A groundbreaking study published in Pediatric Rheumatology has found that children andadolescents who received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine face a much higher riskof developing autoimmune diseases compared to unvaccinated children. TheU.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently announced plans to stoprecommending administration of Covid vaccines to children and pregnant women, adecision lead by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.Dr. Marty Makary comments on “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA)Report

RFK Jr. is now running the Department of Health and Human Services. So we sat down with journalist and Conspirituality co-host Derek Beres to get an idea about how long it will take for Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) agenda to revive the black plague. We chat about why Beres argues that Kennedy's wellness-sounding platform masks an exclusionary health vision which amounts to “soft eugenics,” RFK Jr's endorsement of the MMR vaccine and how this angered his followers, harmful narratives about autism which will probably be endorsed by the federal government, and how the MAHA Commission's AI-generated report doesn't seriously address health problems facing children.

In 1960, less than 5% of American children were obese. Today, that number has quadrupled. Autism, once diagnosed in 1 out of every 10,000 children, is now found in 1 out of 31. And for the first time in modern history, our children are expected to live shorter lives than their parents. This isn't a mere health crisis—it's a moral reckoning.Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services released a 69-page report under the direction of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., diagnosing the American child health epidemic as a symptom of environmental toxins, poor nutrition, chronic stress, and what he calls “overmedicalization,” and said that “America is literally the sickest country in the world.” Critics from legacy media were quick to dismiss the report—some for its skepticism toward the pharmaceutical industry, others for its emphasis on personal responsibility over systemic reform. But even the loudest detractors had to confront the numbers: skyrocketing rates of cancer, obesity, ADHD, and mental illness in a nation that spends more on healthcare than any other civilization in history.Here's the truth: We are not simply failing to treat disease—we are cultivating it. And the national debt we should be most concerned with isn't fiscal, but moral: a debt owed to our children, for the bodies we've poisoned, the minds we've dulled, and the institutions we've trusted to care for them.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

The Head Start program provides free early childhood education and support for low-income families. The federal government funds the program through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Project 2025 proposed eliminating the program.  While Head Start still exists, regional offices have closed and programs have run into issues receiving their funding. We’ll learn more about what the program looks like now from Nancy Perin, the executive director of the Oregon Head Start Association.

At the beginning of May, the National Institutes of Health, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, announced a plan to develop a universal vaccine platform. Think: a single shot for flu or COVID-19 that would last years, maybe a lifetime. The plan—called Generation Gold Standard—has a reported budget of $500 million, and a tight deadline. But will it work? And where does the science on this actually stand? In this live broadcast, Hosts Flora Lichtman and Ira Flatow talk with epidemiologist Michael Osterholm and vaccine researcher Ted Ross.Guests: Michael Osterholm is Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota.Dr. Ted Ross is the global director of vaccine research at the Cleveland Clinic's Florida Research and Innovation Center in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Transcript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

McKenzie came to Blue Rose after working in the private sector, working for Jamal Bowman, and working in the Biden administration's Department of Health and Human Services — she believes in progressive values and she wants to win elections. In this episode, Matt and McKenzie discuss: * The central role of the cost of living in the 2024 election.* The importance of partisan realignment based around engagement with news and politics. * The deep unpopularity of Joe Biden and the need for Democrats to internalize that as they move forward. Then, behind the paywall, what are the Trump administration's biggest points of vulnerability? What are Democrats getting right and wrong about highlighting those issues? Most of all, McKenzie makes the case for a disciplined approach that ties everything back to core values that motivate progressives and also resonate with swing voters.All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading: * The full Blue Rose slide deck.* Matt's article on Republicans' Medicaid cuts.* A corporate marketing guru's appreciation and praise of Bernie Sanders' message discipline.

It's one of the oldest sins in the world, and yet somehow still the most unthinkable: the exploitation of children by the powerful. And if recent revelations are even half true, America isn't just tolerating it — we may be systematizing it.In 1885, a British journalist exposed a hidden network of child brothels in London's West End — a story so horrific it was dubbed The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon. The outcry shook Parliament. A generation later, the Japanese Empire trafficked over 200,000 young women — many underage — as “comfort women” for its soldiers in World War II.This evil isn't new. It's old. It's persistent. And it always hides behind institutions that claim to serve the weak.Today, figures like RFK Jr. are alleging that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has served not as a barrier to trafficking, but as a facilitator. Meanwhile, Sean “Diddy” Combs faces a mounting storm of accusations — not just from the media, but from over 80 civil litigants, some of whom were underage at the time of the alleged abuse.The world calls it conspiracy. But what if it's just exposure?This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors. You can join our Patreon at patreon.com/rightresponseministries or donate at rightresponseministries.com/donate.Today's episode isn't about shock. It's about responsibility. If these things are happening — in our agencies, in our courts, and in our entertainment industry — then we demand justice. As Christians we are called to expose the deeds of darkness, so today, we must name the evil, and refuse to look away.MINISTRY SPONSORS: Reece Fund. Christian Capital.

What can you or your organization do to make the workplace more inclusive for people with autism?Recently, RFK Jr., the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, attracted considerable criticism following his disparagingly blanket statements about people with autism. Many people in the autism community lead fulfilling lives full of love, joy, and productive work—despite the hapless and hopeless depiction of this population that RFK shared. This is an excellent moment to draw attention to my conversation with Amanda Kelly, the president and CEO of Firefly Autism and one of the founders of the groundbreaking Colorado Neurodiversity Chamber of Commerce (CNDCC). It's impossible not to look at our growing talent shortage in this country and ask: why aren't we hiring neurodivergent and autistic people? In this episode, Amanda dives into how we can all make our workplaces more welcoming for neurodivergent individuals, who make up one-fifth of our population. Whether you're neurodiverse or neurotypical, Amanda's jaw-dropping stats and pursuit of equity will inspire you:Learn about the shocking lack of career resources for autistic adults;Discover how organizations can make their workplaces more inclusive, for neurodivergent people and beyond;Break down the ongoing issues of neurodiversity and inequities in diagnosis; Understand the unique gender component of autism and its impacts.Related Links:Firefly Autism - https://fireflyautism.org/Colorado Neurodiversity Chamber of Commerce - https://www.cndcc.org/Connect with Amanda on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-d-kelly-d-psych-2b5957a0/RFK Jr., “Autism destroys families” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPxTnX1sgJc“Addressing the ‘Cliff' for Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder” - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33539916/NYT, “The Dangerous Race to Put More Children to Work” - https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/24/opinion/editorials/arkansas-child-labor.htmlAutism Recovery Network, “Why Is the Autistic Unemployment Rate So High?” - https://autismrecovery.sg/why-is-the-autistic-unemployment-rate-so-high/Episode 390, How to Manage ADHD in the Workplace - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode390TAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

In the twenty years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, powerful hurricanes such as Sandy, Irma, Maria and Helene have caused immense property destruction and led to thousands of deaths. If Katrina taught us anything, it was to be prepared for the unimaginable. But have we learned that lesson?  In this episode, part of a series tied to the 20th anniversary of Katrina, we report from the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans about what we've learned in the years since. Emergency management teams from the Virgin Islands reflect on the two Category 5 hurricanes that hit within just two weeks of each other in 2017, scientists describe how climate change is reshaping hurricanes and our new tools for forecasting them. Meanwhile dark clouds are gathering. As we head into hurricane season, the administration proposes to slash funding for agencies that are tasked with helping us prepare and recover from natural disasters, such as NOAA and the National Weather Service. Guests: Yvette Henry – Community Affairs Coordinator at the Department of Human Services in the US Virgin Islands Abigail Hendricks – Emergency Support Function #6 coordinator on the island of St John, Virgin Islands Meaghan Enright – executive director of the nonprofit, Love City Strong that works on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery on the island of St John, Virgin Islands Rebeca Mueller – Director of media coordination, National Hurricane Conference Michael Brennan – Director, National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida Julie Roberts – Former director of communications and Deputy Chief of Staff for NOAA during the first Trump administration.

Cohosts Yvette Raphael and Ben Plumley unpick the major news coming out of the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva. – from the new pandemic treaty, to WHO budget and staffing cuts, to increases in membership fees and voluntary contributions. They ruminate on how the current seemingly-unstoppable geopolitical chaos is affecting the ability of global health institutions like the World Health Organisation to deliver – and deliver on what exactly? What can the WHO actually do in such a fractured political climate? They reflect on US Secretary of Health and Human Service's video presentation to the World Health Assembly, which at the very best, can't be called the best example of American power and diplomacy. Which perhaps was the point. They cover a few broader issues Which leads them to a few extra-curricular activities – the diplomatic manner in which South African President Cyril Ramaphosa immediately deflected a bizarre meeting at the US White House, complete with lies, videotape and no offers of jumbo jets. Before hitting Geneva, Yvette was at the European Congress on Obesity and Weight Management in Barcelona delving into the complex interactions between HIV and weight issues. They close out a no holds barred conversation on a recent announcement made by the Global Fund of a new groundbreaking partnership between Mozambique and a Kenyan pharmaceutical company, which they were too coy to name. So Yvette and Ben give the company, United Corporation Ltd of Kenya a big shout out… 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 00:24 Support and Subscription Reminder 00:56 World Health Assembly Recap Begins 01:23 Yvette's European Trip and Obesity Congress 02:02 HIV and Weight Issues Discussion 04:09 Elon Musk's Controversial Comments 08:19 Pandemic Treaty and Global Health Governance 14:32 WHO Budget Cuts and Leadership Changes 18:15 Global South's Role in Health Funding 28:45 China's Growing Influence in Global Health 33:19 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 45:14 Closing Remarks and Acknowledgements

Tevi Troy, author, historian, and former Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services, joins the program to explore the epic clashes between U.S. presidents and powerful CEOs. He explains how these power struggles have been a historical norm—shaping public policy, shifting industries, and redefining the balance between government and business. We also examine the growing need for institutions to embrace diverse thought and open dialogue, rather than clinging to the tightly controlled intellectual echo chambers that dominate today's universities and policy circles.You can find Tevi Troy on his website at https://TeviTroy.org

*** OUR INTRO AND OUTRO WERE MUTED - PODCAST STARTS AT 35 SECONDS*** In this episode of The Balanced Bodies Blueprint, Coach Vinny Russo and Dr. Eryn Russo take a deep dive into the controversial views of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now serving as Secretary of Health and Human Services. We dissect RFK Jr.'s support for terrain theory — an outdated belief rooted in Antoine Béchamp's “host theory” that argues disease comes from within the body, not from external pathogens. We contrast this with Louis Pasteur's germ theory, which forms the backbone of modern medicine. From questioning vaccines and antibiotics to promoting natural immunity and detox culture, RFK's ideology has the potential to disrupt decades of public health progress. We also analyze the ripple effects of his policies at HHS, including massive staff layoffs, restructuring of CDC and NIH programs, and his polarizing vaccine messaging campaign. Is RFK Jr. a visionary... or a risk to public health? We'll break down the science, the pseudoscience, and why this debate is far more than academic — it's about the future of medicine and public trust.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/22/2025): 3:05pm- Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which is critical of the Biden Administration for covering up the president's physical and cognitive decline, was released earlier this week. While Tapper is now reporting on internal stories about Biden's health decline, why did he—and the rest of the mainstream media—largely ignore the story prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election?

From the White House, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald Trump announced the results of the report and spoke to the press. Kennedy explained: “never in American history has the federal government taken a position on public health like this”—noting that it had been an ambition of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, before he was killed. 4:45pm- During Thursday's White House briefing, reporter Peter Doocy asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt if unelected Biden Administration staffers concealed the former president's decline so that they could use the levers of power for their own personal gain. 5:05pm- Jennifer Galardi—Senior Policy Analyst for Restoring American Wellness in The Heritage Foundation's DeVos Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to assess the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) newly released Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission report investigating chronic illness.

Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency overseeing healthcare, infectious disease, food safety, and more. We discuss some of RFK's more unseemly beliefs, the responses to his nomination so far, and how his nomination doesn't come out of nowhere, but instead follows decades of struggles over the political economy of health that have laid the groundwork for a figure like him to come into power.
