Wall Street is selling beer, beaches, and barbecue. Want to invest? We also dove into the concerns about the reliability of government data. Investors should focus less on headline data and more on long-term directional trends, since recessions matter less to portfolios than actual corporate performance. We also talk labor markets, employment revisions, and rate-cut predictions, highlighting inconsistencies and the limited value of forecasts. Debt structures like extended auto loans and creative mortgages stress the importance of cash flow flexibility and smart loan structuring rather than simply chasing the lowest rate. Kirk also shares his experience getting an offer accepted on a home during a time of market peaks. We discuss...  Corporate earnings compared to government data; how companies manage expectations to appear consistently successful. Investors should focus on long-term directional trends rather than short-term or inaccurate data points. Whether recessions truly matter for investors compared to corporate earnings growth. Labor market data showed employment revisions and a slowdown in job gains, raising concerns about real job strength. Predictions of interest rate cuts are inconsistent and unreliable. Consumer behavior trends, including retail and food service spending, suggested tightening conditions. Rising delinquency rates in student loans and credit cards signaled growing consumer financial strain. Mortgages and auto loans showed fewer delinquencies since they are collateralized and prioritized by borrowers. There is importance in structuring debt with maximum flexibility and focusing on cash flow management. A home should be viewed as a personal expense rather than an investment. Housing markets are peaking in many areas, with Massachusetts showing declining rents and prices. Mortgage strategies discussed include recasting loans and making lump-sum payments to reduce monthly payments or shorten maturity. Using a home equity line of credit strategically can accelerate mortgage payoff and improve cash flow. Globally, fertility rates in developed countries are below replacement level, indicating shrinking populations. Growth in population is concentrated in parts of Africa, South America, and select Asian regions. Macro trends impacting markets include protectionism, geopolitical tensions, and reserve currency diversification. Policy rewrites under Trump are shaking up traditional approaches, sometimes positively by encouraging change. Many U.S. housing markets are seeing declining sales as buyers and sellers are unwilling to compromise. Tariffs, especially on metals, could spike short-term costs across industries but are expected to normalize over the long term. Unexpected macroeconomic events, such as new technologies or policy changes, can disrupt markets before adjustments occur.

“Colonial racism helps explain the Trump administration's adulation of Israeli violence against Palestinians,” Professor Aviva Chomsky writes at The Nation. In fact, colonial racism is the common thread binding the violent, eliminationist politics of Donald Trump in the US and Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel. In this installment of our ongoing series “Not in Our Name” on The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Professor Chomsky about how Israel's US-backed genocide in Gaza is the grim culmination of the settler-colonial project of Zionism, and how the repression of political dissent under the guise of “combatting antisemitism” is an extension of that violent project.Guest:Aviva Chomsky is a professor of history and the coordinator of Latin American studies at Salem State University in Massachusetts. She is the author of many acclaimed books, including Central America's Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration; and Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal. Additional resources:Aviva Chomsky, The Nation, “Colonialism is alive and kicking in the US's obsession with Israel” Aviva Chomsky, The Nation, “This group's definition of antisemitism is providing cover for genocide” Credits:Producer: Rosette SewaliStudio Production: Cameron GranadinoAudio Post-Production: Stephen FrankFollow The Marc Steiner Show on Spotify Follow The Marc Steiner Show on Apple PodcastsHelp us continue producing The Marc Steiner Show by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetwork

70,000 SDF applications and 11,000 ART fillings. Dr. Jonathan Norris and his partners own 10 practices across Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts. They have built their entire practice philosophy on being minimally invasive. I love having these conversations because its so interesting to see how different pediatric dentists can practice. We have a great conversation and discuss:- Their protocol for SDF and SMART fillings, when it works and when it doesn't- Why they only use glass products- Hall crowns vs modified Hall crowns- Papacarie for ART fillings- How is minimally invasive dentistry perceived by referring GPs?

What happens when everyday people step into the woods and come face-to-face with something they can't explain? In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast, host Jeremiah Byron shares a chilling collection of first-hand encounters pulled from live call-ins across the United States and beyond. From a seven-foot figure peering around a house near Waitt's Mountain outside Boston… to whistled replies in the Texas wilderness… to rocks hurled in Alabama's backcountry… and even a trail camera capture in the forests of British Columbia — each account pushes the boundary between folklore and terrifying reality. You'll hear stories from Malden, Walpole, Tamworth, Bankhead National Forest, Oakmulgee WMA, and the Willamette National Forest of Oregon, including moments where glowing eyes, massive footprints, and even towering twenty-foot figures left witnesses shaken to their core. More than just campfire stories, these testimonies explore the violent, unpredictable, and deeply mysterious side of Sasquatch encounters — and what happens when the unknown decides to show itself.

In today's episode, supported by Chimerix, we spoke with Patrick Y. Wen, MD, about the FDA approval of dordaviprone (Modeyso) for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients at least 1 year of age with H3K27M-mutated diffuse midline glioma who have progressive disease following prior therapy. Dr Wen is the director of the Center for Neuro-Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; as well as a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. In our conversation, Dr Wen discussed the significance of this accelerated approval across patient age groups, key efficacy and safety data that supported this approval, and the importance of biomarker testing in patients with glioma. He also highlighted potential next steps for expanding the investigation of dordaviprone in patients with glioma and emphasized the ways that multidisciplinary collaboration can provide patients with personalized, optimized care. 

This episode of Let Us Be Idiots amounts to various recordings being “stitched” together. The entire collectionof audio tracks used for this episode was recorded in August this year. The more critical factor in this episode is breaking down the two segments with context. The first segment summarized, Matteo Pascale, while on a road trip, visited theCorning Museum of Glass. The museum had a “Glass Crystal Harmonica” on display. The museum's exhibit featured an interactive component regarding the Crystalophone, the official name for this type of musical instrument. The additional interactive feature included an audio recording of someone playing the Crystalophone. Matteo Pascale, as he doesbest, made an audio recording captured on an iPhone. Of the audio recording of someone playing the Crystalophone. To finish off this segment with CorningMuseum of Glass' own words of there:Audio Crystal SpiritYatri (Kathryn Root),Lenox, Massachusetts,Pilgrim Records, 1996Performer: YatriThe following segment consists solely of recorded interactions with John LoCicero, aka Big Chief (my grandfather).

In this episode I take a look at the 1969 mass abduction case in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Dozens of people, many of them children, described almost identical experiences. The story lingered in the county for decades, strong enough to eventually earn official recognition as a historical event. And yet, for all the memories, drawings, and interviews, no definitive piece of physical evidence ever surfaced.Thanks to the TIN FOIL MULISHAExclusive episodes on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/ufonopodcast Join the Tin Foil Mulisha Discord:⁠ https://discord.gg/PQyaJzkt4Y⁠Paypal Donation ⁠https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/Y6WRSW9F2JBSCStripe Donation https://buy.stripe.com/aFa6oGeiXamjdlW39HgUM00 Buy Merch⁠ https://ufono.dashery.com/ Buy Mushrooms⁠ https://www.schedule35.co/us/ (Code: U1173687US240607)⁠Email: Iwant2believe115@gmail.comFollow: Facebook | Twitter | Twitch | Kick | Rumble

Is government the right tool to force “healthy choices,” or does that create a slippery slope that kills freedom and backfires on public health? This episode digs into Make America Healthy Again (MAHA), SNAP junk-food restrictions, nicotine policy, and a first-in-the-nation proposal to ban tobacco sales for anyone born after 2006—probing the real tradeoffs between education, mandates, and personal responsibility in a polarized era where big government and big food often pull the strings behind the scenes.

Studio Sponsor: ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": ⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠ From Bloomberg-style soda limits to SNAP rules that block soda and candy, the conversation asks whether taxpayer-funded programs should require nutritious purchases—and if that improves outcomes or simply punishes the poor while entrenching corporate interests that shaped the old food pyramid in the first place. The discussion tackles how MAHA is changing the national debate, what evidence exists on diet-related costs, and why “education vs. bans” isn't an easy binary when incentives and messaging are captured by politics and industry alike. The episode also unpacks Massachusetts' “born-after” tobacco proposal that would permanently bar adults born after 2006 from buying cigarettes, vapes, or pouches—even at 21—raising equal-protection questions, black-market risks, and cross-border leakage, while spotlighting a state trendsetter whose tobacco rules often go national. Listeners will hear how courts have already upheld a similar Brookline local ordinance, what that legal logic means statewide, and why such age-cohort bans might escalate prohibition's unintended consequences. Beyond policy, the show explores culture: why tribes flip views based on “who” proposes the rule, how social media amplifies contrarian reactions, and what practical, principle-driven solutions could reduce harm without turning adults into permanent wards of the state. Expect frank talk, real-world examples, and a challenge: can a country teach better choices, protect taxpayers, and still respect liberty in an information environment where both government and corporations have incentives to mislead ? If the future is “education first,” what should that look like—and who can be trusted to deliver it without capture or censorship; if it's “policy first,” which rules actually reduce harm without creating new inequities, costs, and criminalization that spill over to courts, jails, and underground markets ?

Is government the right tool to force “healthy choices,” or does that create a slippery slope that kills freedom and backfires on public health? This episode digs into Make America Healthy Again (MAHA), SNAP junk-food restrictions, nicotine policy, and a first-in-the-nation proposal to ban tobacco sales for anyone born after 2006—probing the real tradeoffs between education, mandates, and personal responsibility in a polarized era where big government and big food often pull the strings behind the scenes. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS From Bloomberg-style soda limits to SNAP rules that block soda and candy, the conversation asks whether taxpayer-funded programs should require nutritious purchases—and if that improves outcomes or simply punishes the poor while entrenching corporate interests that shaped the old food pyramid in the first place. The discussion tackles how MAHA is changing the national debate, what evidence exists on diet-related costs, and why “education vs. bans” isn't an easy binary when incentives and messaging are captured by politics and industry alike. The episode also unpacks Massachusetts' “born-after” tobacco proposal that would permanently bar adults born after 2006 from buying cigarettes, vapes, or pouches—even at 21—raising equal-protection questions, black-market risks, and cross-border leakage, while spotlighting a state trendsetter whose tobacco rules often go national. Listeners will hear how courts have already upheld a similar Brookline local ordinance, what that legal logic means statewide, and why such age-cohort bans might escalate prohibition's unintended consequences. Beyond policy, the show explores culture: why tribes flip views based on “who” proposes the rule, how social media amplifies contrarian reactions, and what practical, principle-driven solutions could reduce harm without turning adults into permanent wards of the state. Expect frank talk, real-world examples, and a challenge: can a country teach better choices, protect taxpayers, and still respect liberty in an information environment where both government and corporations have incentives to mislead ? If the future is “education first,” what should that look like—and who can be trusted to deliver it without capture or censorship; if it's “policy first,” which rules actually reduce harm without creating new inequities, costs, and criminalization that spill over to courts, jails, and underground markets ? ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

With forty years of experience as a sports broadcaster, Steve Sullivan is one of the most well-known faces and voices in Arkansas news. Born in Massachusetts as one of six children, Sully moved to Jonesboro, Arkansas for his education and made the state his home. Steve is currently the Sports Director at KATV, where he has covered sports for over two decades. Among his accolades are a distinguished media member award from the Arkansas Activities Association, Arkansas Sportscaster of the year (five times!), and an induction into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame. His most famous accomplishment is Friday Night Touchdowns, where Sullivan has delivered highlights from football games nearly every Friday evening since 1999. Despite having such a robust legacy, Sully is as humble as they come. He credits much of his success to luck, and freely insists that he is never the most talented person in the room - an observation which he finds energizing and inspiring.

Railroad workers are sounding the alarm about the potentially catastrophic consequences of the proposed mega-merger of two of the nation's Class 1 freight rail companies. “Union Pacific said it would buy smaller rival Norfolk Southern in an $85-billion deal to create the country's first coast-to-coast freight rail operator,” Reuters reported in July. “If approved, the deal would be the largest-ever buyout in the sector.” If this giant merger goes through, what will it mean for railroad workers, customers, and for the general public? In this episode of Working People, we speak with a panel of six veteran railroaders and members of Railroad Workers United to get a workers' eye view of the proposed mega-merger and what it will mean for rail labor, the US supply chain, and for the public writ large.   Speakers: Ron Kaminkow is a member of Railroad Workers United, currently serving as a trustee, and he is also a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET), Division 51 in Reno, Nevada. Kaminkow recently retired from Amtrak; prior to working in passenger rail, he worked on the freight rail system for Norfolk Southern and Conrail. Jeff Kurtz was a railroad engineer and union member for 40 years and is a member of Railroad Workers United. He served as a union officer most of his career, including eight years as president of BLET Local 391 and chairman of the BLET Iowa State Legislative Board, where he oversaw safety and legislative matters for the union in the state for four railroads for 10 years. He retired in 2014 and served as state representative for one term in the Iowa House after winning the 2018 election in his House district. Derek Masters is a member of Railroad Workers United and works as a conductor for a major Class 1 railroad, primarily in the Northeast. He is a member of SMART Transportation Division (SMART-TD). Matt Parker is a member of Railroad Workers United who works as a rank-and-file locomotive engineer, based in Nevada, with over 20 years of experience. Matt Weaver is a founding member of Railroad Workers United and has been a member of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees (Teamsters) for 30 years. He serves as the BMWED legislative director for the state of Ohio. Nick Wurst currently serves as general secretary of Railroad Workers United who works as a freight conductor and locomotive engineer, based in Massachusetts. Wurst started working for the railroad in 2019 as an intermodal worker and member of the Transportation Communication Union (TCU/IAM) and is currently  a member of SMART-TD.

People will tell you everything you need to know.  You just need to LISTEN to what they are saying. -Karen Marinella Hall Out of the blue, I got an email from a fan of the show about this week's guest…and I cannot wait for you to meet her.   Many news anchors are beautiful.  They can walk the walk and talk the talk, but there's something missing behind the smile.  That's not the case for Karen Marinella Hall.  During her tenure at WB 56 in Boston, she set herself apart from the rest with a genuine warmth and friendliness, coupled with a curiosity to get to the root of any story.  In this interview, Karen shares the details of her career trajectory, which began in radio at a small, family-owned station called WPLM in her hometown of historic Plymouth, Massachusetts.  When she applied for acceptance to Katherine Gibbs secretarial school, it was a high school teacher who recognized her talents as a communicator, urging Karen to fill out an application to Emerson College.  As the first person in her family to attend college, Karen understood that her parents could not pay for such a prestigious college, making the decision to attend Emerson step one in a career marked by determination, curiosity, and resiliency.   The wife of Boston news legend Jonathan Hall, Karen, is the proud mother of three sons and grew up in a close-knit Italian/Portuguese neighborhood where family, food, and hard work went hand-in-hand.   When her station, WB56 was sold, she took a bold chance and set out on her own, founding Marinella Hall Associates, www.marinellahall.com, where she shares her well-honed communications skills with C-suite executives.   Reflecting on the lessons of her career, Karen says: “I wish I wasn't so insecure in my 20s and 30s.  I don't think I grew out of that until I was in my 40s. God, I would have had so much more fun!”  For 24 minutes of expert storytelling, inspiration, and new chapters, just hit that download button. #corporatecommunications  #news #television Former news anchor & Principal, Marinella Hall Associates marinellahall.com

Join Katie and Liz on another episode of True Crime New England as they discuss a decades-long unsolved murder. 27-year-old Leslie Spellman was hitchhiking with her younger sister in June of 1977, when they separated ways to try and end up at different locations. Unfortunately, Leslie was found the next morning in Northeast Harbor, Maine, bludgeoned to death. Due to the circumstances leading up to her death, like hitchhiking and being far from her home in Hingham, Massachusetts, the evidence of who did the crime was scarce. While she has potentially been connected to two serial killers, there has never been an official suspect named. Now, nearing 50 years later, her murder remains unsolved. Anyone with any information on the murder of Leslie Spellman is asked to please call Maine State Police at (207) 973-3750 or toll free at 800–432–7381.

Nigel Thurlow previously served as the first-ever Chief of Agile at Toyota, where he created the World Agility Forum award-winning “Scrum the Toyota Way” and co-created The Flow System™, a holistic FLOW-based approach to delivering customer-first value built on a foundation of The Toyota Production System.Throughout his career, Thurlow has gained an enviable recognition as a leading expert in Lean and Agile methods, tools, techniques, and approaches. He specializes in developing effective organizational designs and operating models for organizations to embrace both Lean and Agile concepts. By leveraging knowledge from various sources, Thurlow helps optimize organizations to enact successful, long-lasting transformational strategies in applying Lean thinking, Agile techniques, and Scrum – while combining complexity thinking, distributive leadership, and team science, represented by a triple helix structure known as the DNA of Organizations™.As of 2024, he has trained over 8,500 people worldwide in Scrum, Agile, Lean, Flow, Complexity, and organizational design. Thurlow is a Professional Scrum Trainer (PST).An instinctive problem solver, Nigel Thurlow takes a method-agnostic, cross-industry approach in helping organizations find the right tools, methods, and approaches to overcome challenges within their contextual situation. He advocates for the fact that there is not a one-size-fits-all prescriptive approach to agility; all tools have utility, but they also have contextual limitations. From this vantage point, Thurlow equips an organization's people to become an army of problem solvers, expanding their perception of what they do so they can better understand and prepare for potential challenges along the way.Thurlow is currently the Chief Executive Officer at The Flow Consortium, a collection of highly regarded companies in the Lean and Agile world — as well as the scientific and academic communities at large. The Flow Consortium strives to expand the boundaries of current Lean and Agile thinking through the understanding of complexity thinking, distributed leadership, and team science by tapping into the minds of top thought leaders from these concentrations.While at Toyota, Thurlow worked to frame Scrum as more than just a standardized behavioral process by applying and advancing fundamental methodologies to spur innovative, forward-thinking solutions to Toyota's most complex challenges. He also founded the Toyota Agile Academy in 2018. These efforts signaled a transformative phase for Toyota, leading the company towards organizational agility and helping its team members better understand this concept in an automotive production context.Additionally, Thurlow has been a board presence at the University of North Texas since 2019, serving as an advisor to the Department of Information Science Board and a member of the College of Information Leadership Board. He has also served as the President of CDQ LLC since 2012. Prior to that, Thurlow held executive coaching and training roles for companies including Vodafone, Lumen Technologies, Scrum, Inc., GE Power & Water, 3M Healthcare Information Systems, Bose Corporation, The TJX Companies, Inc. – as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He has also taught Scrum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).As an author, Thurlow was named a Forbes top 10 author for co-authoring the book “The Flow System™” in 2020. He has recently co-authored “The Flow System Playbook” published in 2023 which presents a practical study guide and reference book to all the concepts covered in the first book.His other notable publications include “Introducing the Flow System (2019)” and “TPS and the Age of Destruction (2019).” He is also the co-author of The Flow Guide and The Flow System Principles and Key Attributes Guidebook.

Using “mom” and “hate group” in the same sentence may sound unusual to you – but that is exactly what the Massachusetts State Police have done. Massachusetts police training materials classified Mom’s for Liberty as a “hate group” and placed them in their training manual right next to Antifa, a group who is known for actually inciting violence. Host Casey Harper is joined by Tina Descovich, co-founder of Mom’s for Liberty as she reacts to the label and discusses what Moms for Liberty is actually up to.
