David Osborne joins Brian Nichols to reveal how public sector unions trap members into paying union dues long after they quit - and why leaving your union is nearly impossible right now. Osborne is the former CEO of Americans for Fair Treatment and helped start the Fairness Center, a public interest law firm representing teachers, firefighters, police, and municipal workers against their own unions. This is a throwback to Episode 233, April 2021, with a five-year scorecard on what he got right and what he missed.Inside, you'll hear the uncensored breakdown of the union resignation window, the restrictive membership forms nobody reads at orientation, and the clause that makes public employees pay dues regardless of membership status. This is the playbook nobody hands you when you take a government job.And here's the part that should bother you... the union never had to win. They just had to make leaving expensive enough that you stopped trying. What happens to your paycheck when the organization that's supposed to protect you is the one you need protection from?At 6:00, the Pennsylvania teacher whose own union blocked where her money could go - even after they agreed she'd never pay them a dime. At 10:17, the gym membership analogy that explains the whole trap in sixty seconds. And at 25:30, the specific request David made to the Supreme Court in April 2021 - and the answer he got eight weeks later.Subscribe for new episodes every Thursday.

In this Podcast Extra, Join John as he answers a wide range of grower-submitted questions covering challenges in agriculture. The discussion focuses on managing high summer leaf temperatures, optimizing organic nitrogen budgets, and navigating severe base saturation imbalances. John emphasizes the critical connection between precise crop nutrition, active soil biology, and the natural suppression of destructive diseases and pests. Other topics discussed include: Managing nutrition and the microbiome through AEA's integrated approach to help achieve crop resistance to spotted wing drosophila in berries. Reducing pecan scab and weevil pressure by balancing trace minerals and applying AEA products like Pinion and PhotoMag. Evaluating plant metabolism and internal health by measuring sugar levels, EC, and pH/EH homeostasis on a sap analysis. Managing almond bloom diseases and pests like navel orange worm using AEA's Pinion alongside targeted applications of calcium and boron. Executing safe foliar applications of solubilized urea by managing overall solution concentration and electrolyte levels to prevent crop leaf burn. Improving late-season calcium absorption in fruit crops through soil shading and foliar boron applications.  Pre-blending AEA nutritional products before spraying to create a synergistic response because the formulations are designed to support living biology. Addressing insect pests like the apple borer using a foliar combination of AEA's PhotoMag, Rejuvenate, and Rebound Boron. Mitigating crop damage from herbicide drift using AEA products like SeaStim, MacroPak, MicroPak, HoloCal, and Rebound minerals to bind chelating herbicide molecules. Utilizing micronized mineral products like AEA's Accelerate and HoloCal to deliver fast results as leaf-surface microbes rapidly metabolize the minerals. Generating disproportionate crop responses in soil by fertigating and feeding rhizosphere microbes with the same consistency as foliar feeding. Increasing lipid levels in pasture forage through adequate soil levels of calcium, sulfur, and boron combined with strategic grazing management. Understanding how high sodium and chloride accumulation distorts refractometer brix readings by inflating total dissolved solids rather than indicating pure sugar content.

In this episode of *Pediatric Perspectives*, I'm joined by Peter McCullough, M.D. — one of the world's most published cardiologists, an epidemiologist, and the lead author of what may be the most comprehensive scientific document on autism spectrum disorder ever produced. His McCullough Foundation report, *Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder*, spans 52 pages with 308 references and extensive supplemental material. Dr. McCullough entered this arena not from a place of advocacy but from an epidemiologic one: when the numbers stopped making sense, he followed the data.

We tackle the question dentists ask us first, “What's my practice worth?”, and flip it into something far more useful: “What do I need?” Because the valuation on the whiteboard is an output, and if you start there you risk anchoring to a figure that feels big, selling once, and only then discovering the plan was missing.We share our informed exit approach built on three numbers. First, the Lifestyle Number: the cost of your essentials, the experiences you truly value, the support you want to give family, and the resilience you need for care costs, inflation, and living longer than expected. We also unpack why popular retirement rules of thumb like the 4% rule and the rule of 25 can be a helpful prompt, but fall short for UK dentists once you include tax, NHS pensions, and the reality that spending often changes across retirement.Then we move to the Legacy Number and the tax reality that selling a dental practice can turn a life change into a major inheritance tax event, especially as assets shift into your estate. We talk through timing, gifting, wills, and when trusts or family investment companies may be worth exploring with your accountant, tax adviser, and financial planner. Only after the first two numbers do we calculate the Exit Number, so you know the minimum sale price you need and can negotiate with confidence, plan a runway, and choose how and when you step back.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Ohio just landed at number one on CNBC's 2026 list of the best states for business, the first time it has ever finished first. In this Ohio Edition of the Purple Political Breakdown, Radell Lewis follows the money and the power lines behind that ranking, and breaks down who is actually on your 2026 ballot in Ohio's 11th and 12th Congressional Districts. We get into Elon Musk's five million dollar check to V PAC: Victors, Not Victims, the super PAC backing Vivek Ramaswamy, and the billionaire donors behind its nearly forty two million dollar haul (Jeff Yass, Ratmir Timashev, Bill Ackman, and Ross Stevens). Plus Ramaswamy's twenty five million dollar loan to his own campaign, the Secretary of State flag on more than five hundred thousand dollars in unitemized spending, Amy Acton's small-dollar contrast, and Sherrod Brown breaking with the building trades to hit Jon Husted over data centers in the Senate race. Statehouse Watch covers the three hundred fourteen million dollars Ohio has made leasing public land to fracking, the new college syllabus rules under Senate Bill 1, the Medicaid anti-fraud law Senate Bill 315, and the Rooster case, where blogger D.J. Byrnes faces an October jury trial over an image texted to State Senator Jerry Cirino. County of the Week is Allen County and Lima, where Google's five hundred million dollar data center has neighbors up in arms. District Watch, so you know who you are voting for: Ohio 11 (Cleveland): incumbent Democrat Shontel Brown versus Republican Mike Kirchner, with independent Cortney Peterson also on the ballot. Ohio 12 (central and eastern Ohio): incumbent Republican Troy Balderson versus Democrat Jerrad Christian, a 2024 rematch. Plus the latest AARP poll showing tight Governor and Senate races, and Ohio's nation-leading drop in Affordable Care Act enrollment after enhanced subsidies expired.

Episode 375 | Health Freedom on the Ballot Erica Comerford, Director of Political Affairs for Stand for Health Freedom, joins us to discuss SHF's state-specific voter guides, including for Washington's 2026 primary election on August 4. The guide sets forth SHF's endorsements and recommendations of candidates whose survey responses and public records have been carefully vetted for their positions on health freedom, informed consent, parental rights, privacy, school-based health centers, agency power, and related issues. Erica explains how SHF's candidate survey and vetting process have evolved over multiple election cycles, what voters can learn when candidates answer direct questions, and how citizens can use the guide alongside their own research. She also shares her own path into health freedom advocacy, including her experience leaving the healthcare field after her medical sovereignty was not honored. We also discuss SHF's broader work, including calls to action, model legislation such as the Medical Freedom Act, the Guarding Liberty legislator email series, Health Freedom Institute courses and articles, book club resources, and practical ways advocates can encourage candidates to take clear positions. Informed Choice Washington does not endorse candidates, make candidate recommendations, or otherwise participate in electioneering.

Election season is underway, and Hawai‘i voters will soon be receiving their primary election ballots. But before marking a ballot, how can voters move beyond campaign signs, polished commercials, social media claims, and endorsements to determine what candidates truly believe—and what they are likely to do once elected?In this episode of Faith and Family First, Eva Andrade and Marcus Oshiro offer practical guidance for becoming an informed voter. They discuss how to examine a candidate's background, public record, priorities, endorsements, donors, temperament, and ability to accomplish campaign promises. They also explain the purpose of the Hawaii Family Forum Voter Guide, why every candidate receives the same questions, and why HFF provides information rather than endorsing candidates.Eva and Marcus then examine Hawai‘i's troubling voter-turnout numbers. Although voter registration has increased and voting has become more accessible, hundreds of thousands of registered voters still fail to participate. In some elections, nearly as many—or even more—registered voters stayed home than cast a ballot.They also touch on current questions surrounding mail ballots, election procedures, ballot security, federal election-law inquiries, and the need for greater public understanding of Hawai‘i's vote-by-mail system.The challenge is simple: do not wait until your ballot arrives to begin learning. Visit candidate websites, review voting records, read trusted voter guides, compare positions, ask questions, pray for wisdom—and vote.As Marcus puts it: “No vote, no grumble.”Don't forget to subscribe to the FFF podcast for more in-depth discussions on social and political issues that matter to you! 

Kenny Cody joins Brian Nichols to break down how woke culture took over corporations, the media, and COVID - and why he called its collapse five years before it happened. This is the very first episode The Brian Nichols Show ever put on YouTube, back in early 2021, and Kenny looked into the camera and warned that government was becoming a religion and social media the temple. Now watch it age.Back then it sounded dramatic. Coca-Cola getting called "Woka-Cola." Dr. Seuss canceled. Corporations pulling out of Georgia. And Kenny tying all of it - cancel culture, corporate America, and COVID hysteria - into one machine. But here's the part nobody was saying out loud in 2021... that the same people demonizing you online were just handing the federal government more power to do it.So we did something different with this one. We went back, five years later, and graded the tape. What did Kenny nail? What did he completely whiff on? Because we don't just take victory laps around here... we call the misses too. And one of his biggest predictions aged in a way you won't see coming.Inside you'll hear why Kenny says conservatives literally cannot be fascists, the "government is a religion" breakdown that predicted the last four years, and the three issues he swears the left loses on every single time. Then stick around for the 2026 scorecard - where Kenny is now, and the full-circle endorsement you genuinely could not script.If you want common-sense politics that actually holds up over time, hit subscribe and ring the bell.

Patrick Fabian and his two sons Andrew and Stephen operate a third and fourth-generation farm in Southern Alberta, Canada. Farming on 100% irrigated land, they specialize in producing a diverse range of pedigreed seeds, including cereals, flax, corn, alfalfa, canola, and peas. Their operation encompasses roughly a thousand acres and revolves around cultivating high-quality seeds that boast robust germination and exceptional vigor.   In their transition to regenerative agriculture, the Fabians drastically reduced upfront synthetic nitrogen, opting instead to spoon-feed crops with highly efficient foliar applications of solubilized urea. By combining biological seed treatments like compost tea with targeted carbon sources and micronutrients, they successfully eliminated the need for conventional fungicides and insecticides. Their practices focus heavily on maximizing net income per acre and enhancing soil biology rather than chasing sheer volume.   In this episode, John and the Fabians discuss: The efficiency gains achieved by switching from upfront soil nitrogen to foliar applications of solubilized urea. The operational shift from chasing maximum gross yield to prioritizing net income per acre. Replacing conventional synthetic seed treatments with compost tea and biological inoculants. How microbially active soils produce heavier pedigreed seeds with superior cold-stress vigor. Utilizing plant sap analysis and tissue testing to address precise nutritional needs. The remarkable crop resilience and yield recovery observed after severe early-stage hail damage. How Advancing Eco Agriculture helps growers make data-driven decisions through sap testing.

The United States is bombing Iran for a fourth straight night, Senator Lindsey Graham is dead and his Senate seat went to his sister, the agency that certifies your voting machines just got emptied by email, and a text message that would not admit it was a bot tried to move Radell's opinion on Israel. The thread tonight is one question: who actually gets to decide, and who is being kept out of the room? In this episode of Purple Political Breakdown: Iran and the Strait of Hormuz: the June memorandum collapsed, the strikes and the naval blockade are back, oil is near 85 dollars, and the White House position keeps reversing faster than it can be reported. Why the missing story is not the policy, it is the absence of one. Lindsey Graham: the senator's death, the appointment of his sister Darline Graham Nordone to the seat on the President's recommendation, and an honest look at the record, including the 2016 Merrick Garland blockade and the 2020 Amy Coney Barrett confirmation eight days before the election. The Election Assistance Commission: what this quiet agency actually does for your vote, why firing every commissioner months before a midterm matters, and the receipts that connect it to the SAVE Act, the DOGE and True the Vote data deal, the ERIC exodus, and the CISA cuts. Breakdown in the Public: the "Friends for Peace" texts Radell received, traced by reporters to Brad Parscale's firm and a nine million dollar Israeli Foreign Ministry contract, plus fresh polling on where American opinion on Israel actually stands. Research on a Dime: the Maine Senate scramble to replace Graham Platner and who the Democrats might pick, and the new 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act that became law without a signature. Good News to close: Pakistan's rooftop solar boom, a landmark NHS heart-attack prevention rollout, and a gene therapy giving deaf children their hearing.

In musculoskeletal rehabilitation, the biopsychosocial model is prominent in clinical practice guidelines for a variety of different conditions, with different approaches advocated for how to provide rehabilitation within the model.Today, Dr Kate Jochimsen guides JOSPT Insights listeners through psychologically-informed rehabilitation practice - taking principles that have become quite prominent in the chronic low back pain field and seeing how they might apply to young, active people with chronic hip pain.Dr Jochimsen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, a researcher at the Center for Health Outcomes and Interdisciplinary Research at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), and a member of the Physical Therapy Residency Faculty at the MGH Institute for Health Professions. Her work bridges the gap between sports medicine and psychology, with a primary focus on chronic pain and hip injuries.------------------------------RESOURCESOSPRO yellow flags tool: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2016.6487Screening for yellow flags - clinical framework: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2021.10570Pain Catastrophizing Scale: https://www.sralab.org/rehabilitation-measures/pain-catastrophizing-scaleAssociation between pain and function in people with hip pain - systematic review: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41020468/JOSPT's July 2026 hip-focused issue (10 hip articles): https://www.jospt.org/toc/jospt/56/7Association for Applied Sport Psychology mental wellness resource center: https://appliedsportpsych.org/resources/mental-wellness-resource-center/Why things hurt - TEDx with Professor Lorimer Moseley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwd-wLdIHjsPsychologically informed practice in low back pain (case report): https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptcases.2025.0177Psychologically informed physical therapy for musculoskeletal conditions (APTA paid course): https://www.orthopt.org/course/33-3-psychologically-informed-physical-therapy-for-musculoskeletal-disordersManaging persistent pain (APTA paid course): https://learningcenter.apta.org/products/persistent-pain-management-certificate-a-comprehensive-learning-series

Eduardo "Ted" Alexander joins Brian Nichols to reveal how to get paid in Bitcoin for what you already know - and why the banks, Big Tech, and inflation are quietly draining your value right now. Ted's a former venture capitalist who ran a half-billion-dollar fund, then walked away to build FeeMe, an app where you set a price on your knowledge and get paid in Bitcoin and Litecoin through a non-custodial wallet only you control. No bank. No middleman. No gatekeeper deciding whether you're allowed to earn.Inside, Ted breaks down the playbook nobody in Silicon Valley wants you to hear. How a bounty works - you post a question, put Bitcoin on it, and experts around the world compete to give you the best answer while you reward the top three. Why he flat-out refuses to touch dollars, PayPal, or Cash App. And how a non-custodial wallet - twelve words on a piece of paper - hands you money no bank can freeze, seize, or manipulate.Here's the uncomfortable part. As long as the government controls the money, they control you. Every dollar they print quietly steals from the one already in your pocket. And the same gatekeepers who flagged this very show as "harmful content" for asking questions during COVID are the ones deciding which voices get seen and which get buried. So what happens when you route around all of them?At 8:55, Brian gets raw about why The Brian Nichols Show is STILL labeled harmful content on YouTube - and why that's the whole point. At 11:40, Ted pulls out his phone and walks through a live bounty, Tinder-style, right on camera. And at 15:46, he explains the regulatory trap that would turn him into a bank overnight if he ever accepted a single dollar.If this one hit home, subscribe and share it with someone who still thinks Bitcoin is monopoly money.

Send us Fan MailA household runs on clarity, not effort. So does a practice. Most performance problems in independent practices are clarity problems: somebody thought somebody else was handling it. This episode builds the RACI model (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) into your billing workflow and your hiring. What RACI actually means.  Four roles, each assigned to a person for a task, with one hard rule: never more than one Accountable person. If two people are accountable, nobody is. Mapping RACI to your practice.  A denial slips through when the billing manager assumes the front desk verified eligibility and the front desk assumes the billing manager caught it at scrubbing. With RACI, every role is named and the gap disappears. An unowned weekly denial review at a $350K-a-month practice can run 3 to 5 percent above its potential clean claim rate, $10,500 to $17,500 a month lost in a gap nobody owned. Hiring into the RACI structure.  Define the RACI role before the job description. A person wired to execute will struggle in an Accountable seat that requires sitting with ambiguity. That is a role mismatch, not a character flaw.Three actions this week Map the RACI for your weekly denial review (if you cannot name the Accountable person in thirty seconds, the task has no owner). Audit your current team against the RACI role definitions: right role, right wiring? Use RACI in your next hire, before you write the job description. Resources 30-Day Revenue Recovery Plan (primary): eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrc/-30day-revenue-recovery-plan Book a call with Heather: calendly.com/heather-natrevmd Payment Posting Audit Checklist (supporting): eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist Referenced: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni; High Output Management by Andy Grove. 

What would you actually change about American government if you could? On this bonus episode of Purple Political Breakdown, Radell Lewis runs through a full personal policy wish list built live on stream, covering Supreme Court reform (term limits, ethics enforcement, and a cautious lean toward court packing), presidential immunity, pardon reform, filibuster reform, House expansion, voting reform (STAR and approval voting), a proposed federal Election Day holiday, billionaire tax reform and closing the stepped up basis loophole, a mandatory or incentivized civil service program for eighteen year olds, an overhaul of public education toward financial literacy and critical thinking, foreign lobbyist transparency, and a values based approach to international alliances. This is Radell's own running list of political solutions, unfiltered and evolving, in the spirit of the show's core mission: political solutions without political bias.

Mark Schatzker's path into food science and journalism began in 1997 when an unforgettable Chilean steak completely changed his perspective on taste. Armed with a degree in philosophy, he became obsessed with understanding why standard North American food had lost its flavor. This curiosity sparked a decades-long global journey investigating the deep connection between soil quality, plant genetics, animal nutrition, and culinary excellence. Today, Mark is the acclaimed author of three groundbreaking books—Steak, The Dorito Effect, and The End of Craving. Beyond his writing, he collaborates on clinical neuroscience and physiology research at Yale University and the University of Bristol. His current initiatives focus on studying how artificial flavorings, declining crop nutrient density, and a degraded food environment physically alter human brain chemistry, cravings, and overall public health. In this episode, John and Mark discuss: How modern agriculture's intense focus on yield has accidentally bred the natural flavor and nutrition out of whole foods. The internal wisdom livestock use to actively seek out specific nutrients when grazing diverse, healthy pastures. How synthetic flavorings are engineered in factories to trick human brain chemistry into a cycle of overconsumption. The direct link between Advancing Eco Agriculture's focus on soil microbiomes and the creation of truly flavorful, nutrient-dense crops. The stark differences between commodity-driven bulk food markets and traditional food cultures like those in Italy and Japan. How regenerative growers can leverage exceptional crop flavor to command higher value and disrupt standard commodity markets.

Bruno Guimaraes WANTS Arsenal Move! Newcastle INFORMED of Decision! Arsenal Transfer ShowBruno Guimarães reportedly wants an Arsenal move, Newcastle United have been informed of a major decision, and the transfer story that just won't go away has taken another dramatic turn.In today's episode of The Arsenal Transfer Show, Arsenal reporter Tom Canton breaks down the latest developments surrounding Bruno Guimarães and assesses what the newest reports could mean for Arsenal's summer plans.We discuss the claims that Newcastle have been informed of a key decision, the likelihood of any deal being completed, and how Guimarães would fit into Mikel Arteta's title-winning squad.

Detective Olivia Benson looks into the rape of Haley Kerns, an uncooperative victim and member of an environmental protest group. She suspects Haley's boyfriend (played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach) but when she goes missing, Benson is reunited with Special Agent Dana Lewis (Marcia Gay Harden, in an Emmy-nominated performance), who says Haley has been an FBI informant in an eco-terrorist cell. Their search leads to a remote cabin where Detective Elliot Stabler is nearly killed in an explosion.  The investigators learn why Haley didn't want police help when her rapist turns up dead. Lewis leverages the murder charge and convinces her to take Olivia undercover to find out what the group's next target is. Haley double-crosses Benson and tries to assemble a bomb to blow up corporate headquarters, forcing Lewis to shoot her. But with Benson having successfully infiltrated the eco-terror network, she persuades Olivia to remain undercover to take the group down. Meanwhile, Elliot learns he's about to get a new partner. We're talking about Special Victims Unit season eight episode one "Informed." Our guest is Ronald Young Jr.  This episode takes some inspiration from the FBI's Operation Backfire.  For exclusive content from Kevin and Rebecca, sign up on Patreon.This show was recorded in The Caitlin Rogers Project Studio.

I'm joined today by Dr. Ben Lynch, DNM — one of the most knowledgeable experts I know on methylation pathways, biochemistry, and how prenatal nutrition shapes a child's lifelong health. Dr. Lynch is the author of *[Dirty Genes](https://www.amazon.com/Dirty-Genes-Breakthrough-Program-Optimize/dp/0062698141)* and founder of [Seeking Health](https://www.seekinghealth.com/), and over the years he has become one of the physicians I turn to most for insight on these critical early developmental windows. In this episode, we go deep on a topic that doesn't get nearly enough attention in conventional obstetrics: the difference between synthetic folic acid and the natural folate forms that developing babies actually need — and what happens when we get it wrong.

Welcome to Here's the Caveat!I' Today, we are talking about a problem hiding in plain sight: This generation does not lack information. It lacks formation.Access is everywhere. Wisdom is not.We can search anything in seconds, but too many people cannot handle correction, discipline, responsibility, or truth without treating discomfort like danger. Information may fill the mind. Formation builds the person. Leadership requires both.

This week on Purple Political Breakdown: Trump's financial disclosure shows over 1.4 billion dollars in crypto related income tied to a company nobody can find on paper, the FBI has surged 260 analysts into re examining a Georgia election that's already been counted three times, and Russia hit Kyiv twice in five days right before a NATO summit. Radell connects the dots between all three, then digs into new Pew polling showing the world's confidence in America and Americans' confidence in their own democracy collapsing at the same time. Plus, a full breakdown of this Supreme Court term's biggest rulings on immigration, citizenship, and presidential power over independent agencies, the 2026 midterms landscape including a progressive upset in Denver, and the good news stories the rest of the media isn't covering.

Tom Norton joins Brian Nichols to reveal why Trump won Michigan by a BIGGER margin in 2024 than 2016 - and how Republicans are quietly converting blue dog Democrats to turn a supposed blue state red. This is an Afghan War veteran and Michigan State Senate candidate breaking down the demographic shift nobody in the national media wants to admit: gun-owning, pro-union Democrats who are done with the far-left agenda and flipping right. According to Tom, Michigan isn't drifting blue... it's trending red, and it's becoming more conservative than it's been in decades. We expose the reality behind the "Michigan is a blue state" narrative... and the ground game that's actually moving the needle. Tom knocked roughly 8,000 doors in a single week - and he's selling voters on a platform that should make every bureaucrat in Lansing sweat. Gutting CPS. A Michigan version of DOGE. Full school choice. This is the playbook that's converting Democrats one door at a time. But here's the question that should keep both parties up at night... if a former blue wall state is flipping red, what does that do to the map in 2028? Get this shift wrong and you misread the entire country.Inside, you'll hear Tom explain why Michigan Democrats are "blue dog" Democrats who like their guns (17:19)... how the Michigan GOP went from Romney-Rockefeller liberal to genuinely conservative (17:19)... plus the CPS due-process nightmare costing veterans their kids (6:16) and the lottery-style audit he wants running the entire state budget, Ron Paul "audit the Fed" style (7:53).

Questions about whether confidence in a belief should be informed by how long the belief has been held or by how many have held it, and whether it's irrational and illogical to believe in God and one has to go against reason to believe in him.   Should confidence in a belief be informed by how long the belief has been held or by how many have held it?

Ohio sold fifteen thousand acres of public wildlife land to out of state frackers this week, days after officials killed a solar farm in Clark County. Meanwhile, over two thousand provisional ballots got thrown out in the May primary, and only 23 percent of Ohio's 18 year olds are registered to vote at all. The Supreme Court also handed down three rulings this week that land right back in Ohio, on mail ballots, birthright citizenship, and campaign finance. We close out with the two U.S. House races the whole country is watching this fall: Kaptur versus Merrin in the 9th District, and Turner versus Knickerbocker in the 10th.

According to Tom, Michigan isn't drifting blue... it's trending red, and it's becoming more conservative than it's been in decades. We expose the reality behind the "Michigan is a blue state" narrative... and the ground game that's actually moving the needle. Tom knocked roughly 8,000 doors in a single week - and he's selling voters on a platform that should make every bureaucrat in Lansing sweat. Gutting CPS. A Michigan version of DOGE. Full school choice. This is the playbook that's converting Democrats one door at a time. But here's the question that should keep both parties up at night... if a former blue wall state is flipping red, what does that do to the map in 2028? Get this shift wrong and you misread the entire country.Inside, you'll hear Tom explain why Michigan Democrats are "blue dog" Democrats who like their guns (17:19)... how the Michigan GOP went from Romney-Rockefeller liberal to genuinely conservative (17:19)... plus the CPS due-process nightmare costing veterans their kids (6:16) and the lottery-style audit he wants running the entire state budget, Ron Paul "audit the Fed" style (7:53).

A respected voice on technology shows how seemingly simple ads help dismantle democracy and public discourse. Whether you're intentionally shopping or casually browsing social media, something is following you: ads. Their creators seem to know your income bracket, politics, age, location, medical conditions, and tastes in clothing, food, and romantic partners. As advertising firms use predictive AI to discover your hot buttons and generative AI to push them, your online world becomes an increasingly bespoke—and isolated—place. The fervid competition around personalization in digital marketing has given rise to an ecosystem of advertisers, media outlets, tech companies, and retailers who monetize your data while threatening the health of our media, discourse, and sense of community. In this urgent book, award-winning author Joseph Turow shows how we got here, and how to change direction.The Problem with Personalization: How Advertisers Learned to Make and Break Us from Ancient Times to the AI Age (University of Chicago Press, 2026) shatters common beliefs about advertising history by showing that individualized ads are not new. Today's AI-enabled advertisers draw on past aspirations and assumptions about personalization while weaponizing data in unprecedented ways that drive social fragmentation and the disappearance of shared social reality. Informed by interviews with marketing insiders and covering the latest technology advances, Turow accessibly explains how artificial intelligence sifts through our data to tag and target us wherever we go with personalized videos, pictorial billboards, audio messages, and more. A logical next step for advertiser support is tailored entertainment and news, a shift that further destroys the common ground necessary for a functioning democracy. A must-read for all who care about the future of public discourse, The Problem with Personalization reveals how targeted advertising has altered how we're seen and what we see in return.

Jim Dunlop is a senior agronomist with Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) whose journey into agriculture began after serving in the Marine Corps. He used the GI Bill to study biology and chemistry at CSU Stanislaus. While there, he started a CSA farm in the Yosemite foothills, which grew significantly as he collaborated with organic growers. Jim later managed a pasture livestock operation on California's Central Coast and spent a year traveling the country in an RV to visit diverse farms. He eventually settled in Oregon's Columbia Gorge, transitioning from a compost facility to managing orchards for Mike Omeg, where he first discovered AEA. Today, Jim is working to build the AEA business in the Pacific Northwest. He works with conventional and organic growers across a variety of crops, including tree fruit, berries, vegetables, and livestock pasture. In his role, Jim uses his years of experience, sap analysis and AI to pinpoint plant metabolic bottlenecks, helping growers overcome environmental stress and unlock peak crop performance. In this episode, John and Jim discuss: How adding small amounts of sugar to foliar sprays stops a destructive "ammonium death spiral" by balancing nitrogen and raising sap pH.   How addressing a plant's foundational sugar and boron levels successfully unlocks calcium movement into new leaves far better than heavy doses of foliar calcium alone.   The way using AEA's pre-mixed nutrient blends rather than standard tank mixing helps farmers cut application costs while achieving identical sap movement.   The impressive field trial results of AEA's Pinion product in successfully making powdery mildew less active in highly susceptible conventional cherry orchards.   The powerful synergy of pairing fertigation and foliar applications together to trigger rapid shoot growth and maximize fruit size.  Resources To learn about working with AEA, please visit: https://advancingecoag.com/land/consulting/ To buy and see what Pinion can do for you, please visit: https://advancingecoag.com/product/pinion/ To buy SeaStim, please visit: https://advancingecoag.com/product/seastim-gal-p685008/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

This week is a different kind of Purple Political Breakdown: a solo, chat-driven deep dive on one question. Do you support packing the Supreme Court? Before you answer, Radell Lewis walks the entire board, because the honest version of this debate starts earlier than most coverage admits. You do not need new seats to pack a court if you control who fills the seats you already have. In 2016, Justice Scalia dies and Mitch McConnell blocks Merrick Garland for nearly a year on a "let the voters decide" standard he branded the "Biden rule." In 2020, weeks before the election, he reverses himself and confirms Amy Coney Barrett after tens of millions of Americans have already voted. The frame other coverage skips: the Garland blockade and the Barrett rush were already a form of packing the existing nine through procedure. From there, the history that undercuts the idea that nine is sacred. The number is not in the Constitution. Article III leaves it to Congress, which has changed it seven times, from six justices in 1789, to Lincoln adding a tenth seat in 1863, to the nine we have settled on since 1869. Then the cautionary tale: FDR's 1937 plan to add up to six justices died 70 to 20 in his own Democratic Senate, even as the Court quietly started upholding the New Deal anyway. Then the mechanics. Expansion is an ordinary statute, but it runs straight into the filibuster, which means ending the filibuster first. The Judiciary Act would take the Court from nine to thirteen, one justice per appeals circuit, though the strongest advocates argue less from circuit math and more from a bench they call rigged. We break down Brian Tyler Cohen's pitch to Gavin Newsom, and why messaging that makes people lose faith in the institution itself can backfire. Here is why Radell would start somewhere else: term limits and an enforceable ethics code. Eighteen-year staggered terms with a senior status off-ramp that may be achievable by statute, supported across the aisle by Federalist Society co-founder Steven Calabresi and liberal scholar Akhil Amar, echoed in John Roberts's own early writing, with 49 of 50 states already limiting their high-court judges and bipartisan polling supermajorities (PRRI: 85 percent of Democrats, 76 percent of independents, 67 percent of Republicans; Marquette: 73 percent of Republicans). On ethics, we cover Senator Whitehouse's SCERT Act, the Court's toothless 2023 self-written code, and the Fix the Court finding that Justice Clarence Thomas reported gifts valued near 4.2 million dollars over two decades, far more than the rest of the bench combined. Radell is careful throughout to separate what is documented from what cannot be proven. The bottom line: if the goal is a Court the public trusts again rather than one your side controls for a single cycle, term limits and ethics come first. Court packing can follow, but only with airtight, bipartisan messaging and the number locked into the Constitution so the country does not spend the next decade adding and subtracting justices. Steel-manned, receipts on the table, live chat the whole way, and an honest landing spot at the end.

Instant Reaction: LeBron James has informed the Lakers that he will be playing elsewhere and Jones & Turpin discuss where he could be going and if the Celtics should be interested in the King.

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. Listen, then drop your take in the chat. This is political solutions without political bias.

What does it take for a young, progressive Democrat to run for the Ohio Statehouse in a district that leans Republican? This week on the Purple Political Breakdown, Ohio Edition, I sit down with Daquan Neal, the Democratic nominee for Ohio House District 39, covering Northern Montgomery County and the Dayton area: Vandalia, Englewood, Huber Heights, Clayton, Northridge, Fort McKinley, Harrison Township, and Butler Township. Daquan is 30 years old, a Central State University graduate, and a former staffer in both chambers of the Ohio General Assembly. He won his May 2026 Democratic primary and is running under the slogan "Our Time Is Now." We get into his core argument that Ohio is not a red state so much as a non-voting state, with more unaffiliated voters than registered Democrats and Republicans in his district, and what it would take to actually turn those voters out. From there we break down his policy stack: a state public option as a first step toward universal health care, a percentage-based "livable wage" built on the MIT Living Wage Calculator with price-gouging protections attached, a progressive marginal income tax to replace Ohio's new flat tax, and the bill he says he will introduce first, universal free school lunch for K-12. We also talk political messaging, why "progressive" lands differently than "socialist," and how he uses his Forever Curious civics program to close the political knowledge gap. This is a real voter-information conversation about who represents you in Columbus and why the Statehouse may matter more to your daily life than Washington. Political solutions without political bias.

Welcome to Episode 313 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This week I'm joined by attorney Aaron Siri, Managing Partner of Siri & Glimstad and author of the new book Vaccines, Amen. Aaron has spent more than a decade challenging government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and public health institutions on issues related to medical freedom, informed consent, and transparency. In this conversation, we explore why vaccines are treated differently under the law than almost any other product, what Aaron discovered through years of litigation and public records requests, and why parents should understand the difference between scientific consensus and scientific evidence. Regardless of where you land on these issues, this discussion highlights the importance of critical thinking, asking better questions, and making informed decisions in a world where complex topics are often reduced to simple talking points. The secret this week is…  Consensus ISN'T The Same As Truth You'll Discover: Why one product is treated differently than almost every other product on the market (2:05) Why doing your own homework matters more than most parents realize (15:10) The difference between consensus and actual evidence (27:48) What a federal lawsuit revealed about the studies behind a major public health claim (33:36) Why informed consent requires the freedom to say no (38:20) About Our Guest: Aaron Siri is the author of Vaccines, Amen, host of the Informed w/ Aaron Siri podcast, and Managing Partner of Siri & Glimstad LLP, a national law firm focused on civil rights, constitutional law, and complex litigation. He has led numerous high-profile legal challenges involving medical mandates, government transparency, and informed consent, including efforts that resulted in the release of Pfizer's Covid-19 clinical trial documents and the restoration of vaccine exemptions affecting hundreds of thousands of students. Aaron is a graduate of UC Berkeley School of Law and is widely recognized for his work advancing informed consent, medical freedom, and government transparency. www.sirillp.com/aaron-siri/ References in this Episode: Vaccines, Amen by Aaron Siri Informed w/ Aaron Siri podcast Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) Siri & Glimstad Additional Resources: To learn more about personalized 1:1 support go to www.elevatehowyounavigate.com If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

In this episode of *Pediatric Perspectives*, I'm joined by Michelle Perro, M.D. — integrative pediatrician, environmental medicine specialist, and CEO and founder of [GMO Science](https://gmoscience.org) — for a detailed look at how genetically modified organisms have reshaped the American food supply and what families can do to protect themselves. Dr. Perro began researching the intersection of GMOs, pesticides, and children's health in the early 2000s, and this conversation reflects more than two decades of that clinical work.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, when Mark Levin was working in the Reagan administration he argued strenuously against a deal with the congressional Democrats where the administration would agree to grant citizenship to 2.3 million illegal aliens in exchange for promised funds to better secure the border.  President Reagan did as promised, but the Democrats reneged. Mark has his disagreements with the Iran MOU, and does not believe the Iranian regime will ever honor any agreement, but Mark adores President Trump, just like Reagan. If President Trump wants the MOU to become a final deal, it will proceed regardless of opposition. Some points about the deal: military operations cease, including in Lebanon, and end the naval blockade now. Why drop our leverage over this regime during the negotiation period? And why capitulate to Iran's demand to protect Hezbollah?  Also, the MOU provides for $300 billion for economic development. Who thinks Iran would use this money for anything other than their terror apparatus? Trump deserves credit for confronting Iran but many questions about holding Iran accountable remain.  What is not in this arrangement: not a word about ballistic missiles. Not a word about promoting and funding terrorism and terror groups. Not a word about the Iranian people. Not a word about the regime paying reparations to our country, Israel, or the Arab countries for the massive damage cause by their ballistic missiles and other missiles. Red-blooded Americans will be proven right about Iran's terrorist regime, the world's biggest funder of terrorism after Qatar for half a century, which pursues an Islamist revolution viewing its survival as a divine mandate to ultimately destroy its enemies. Unlike Western diplomatic precision, the regime focuses solely on enduring each hurdle until it can "take us out" in its endgame. Informed readers understand this clash of completely different worldviews and mindsets, where any deal, cash, or survival is seen as victory by the enemy, who embrace terrorism and martyrdom, unlike us. Those cheerleading or attacking without grasping this must be dismissed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of Inner Edison Podcast, Ed Parcaut sits down with Kira Shishkin, founder of Informed Now, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, media trust, and the challenge of building a better way to consume news. Kira shares how her life experience across Ukraine, Israel, and the United States shaped her perspective on information conflict and why she became convinced that bad information is not just annoying, but dangerous. She explains how that conviction led her to build Informed Now, a platform focused on news minimalism, cleaner sourcing, and helping people understand major events without the usual manipulation, overload, and partisan distortion. The conversation explores primary-source reporting, human review, AI-assisted filtering, the economics of modern media, and why so many people no longer trust the news they consume. It is also a conversation about founder conviction: seeing a broken system, deciding not to accept it, and building something different. *Contact Ed Parcaut:** -

In this Podcast Extra, Join John as he answers a wide range of grower-submitted questions covering challenges in agriculture. The discussion focuses on managing high summer leaf temperatures, optimizing organic nitrogen budgets, and navigating severe base saturation imbalances. John emphasizes the critical connection between precise crop nutrition, active soil biology, and the natural suppression of destructive diseases and pests. Other topics discussed include: Distinguishing between air temperature and leaf temperature, highlighting how a healthy wax lipid layer lowers a plant's canopy temperature by 8 to 10 degrees. Managing the photorespiration process in C3 and C4 plants to prevent protein degradation and the buildup of high ammonium levels. Utilizing trace amounts of nickel (3 to 10 grams per acre) as an essential enzyme cofactor to rapidly lower ammonium in plant sap. Applying Rejuvenate as a foliar tool to provide stressed crops with carbohydrates, enzymes, and high-energy compounds. Addressing low magnesium and potassium in soils with extreme calcium base saturation using targeted applications. Citing historical 1960s data on fire blight indicating the disease cannot establish when sap sucrose levels remain above a 22–26% threshold. Restructuring high-chloride potato programs by pairing Rebound micronutrients with Holo-K, SeaShield, and SeaStim. Remediating the typical "burnt leaf tips" on garlic by satisfying the crop's unusually high molybdenum requirement. Evaluating the limitations of indigenous microorganisms (IMOs) and acknowledging that 90% of living soil microbes require active plant roots to propagate. Deploying PhotoMag to optimize plant sap ratios, delivering magnesium, sulfur, molybdenum, and boron to efficiently convert excess ammonium into complete proteins . Advocating for a national food policy focused on nutritional quality and farmer economic viability over cheap, abundant food. Utilizing MacroPack and MicroPack within target foliar combinations to halt disease progression. Understanding why high-salt content fertilizers solubilize trace minerals and leach them down the soil profile over a 20- to 40-year period.

Serhii Plokhy describes how on October 16, 1962, National Security Adviser McGeorge Bundy informed President Kennedy that U-2 spy planes had discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba. Kennedy felt personally betrayed by Khrushchev's prior lies regarding the deployment. Faced with intense political pressure and accusations of being "weak" during the midterms, Kennedy initially acted as a hawk, leaning toward an immediate air strike. Robert Kennedy was also surprisingly hawkish during early deliberations. However, advisors like Robert McNamara eventually persuaded the President to adopt a quarantine (blockade) to avoid an immediate nuclear escalation. (1)1897
