This episode is brought to you by Good with Money, a free 3-day experience that will help you shift how you relate to money so it actually supports the life you're building. If you're tired of feeling like you have to hold it all together financially, this is where you learn how to create both the internal alignment and the systems to feel steady and supported. ✨ About This Season: The Anatomy of Alignment This season of Redefining Wealth is dedicated to unpacking what alignment really means — not as a buzzword, but as structure. We're dissecting how misalignment impacts each of the Six Pillars of Wealth — FIT, PEOPLE, SPACE, FAITH, WORK, and MONEY — and what it truly costs when we tolerate what drains us. Each episode builds on the last. So subscribe and journey with us as we move from awakening… to redefining… to actualizing. Episode Summary In this week's episode, Patrice sits down with financial wellness expert and author Sahirenys Pierce for a conversation that goes far beyond budgeting. Together, they explore what it means to create a money system that is not just practical, but deeply aligned with the life you actually want to live. Sahirenys shares how growing up as a first-generation Dominican American shaped her relationship with money. After watching her family repeatedly lose everything during economic downturns — including their home, cars, and sense of peace — she realized that financial trauma does not just impact bank accounts. It changes how we make decisions, what we believe is possible, and how safe we feel planning for the future. This conversation highlights the difference between reacting from fear and responding with intention. Patrice and Sahirenys unpack how many of us make money decisions from survival mode, whether that means choosing careers purely for security, avoiding financial structure, or believing that loss is inevitable. But alignment invites something different: systems that support peace, margin, and presence. Sahirenys also introduces her High 5 Banking Method, a simple but powerful framework for organizing money with purpose. This episode is a reminder that money management is not about restriction. It is about creating the infrastructure that allows you to be present for what matters most, prepared for life's realities, and positioned for the vision you say you desire. Questions to Ask Yourself: Am I currently managing money from fear or from intention? What financial patterns in my life were shaped by survival, loss, or instability? Do I have a system that supports both emergencies and opportunities? What would it look like for my finances to fully align with the life I say I want? Where in my money life do I need more structure so I can experience more peace?   Want to Redefine Wealth for Yourself? Start Here:

Freedom felt like drowning. That's what former IBLP members describe when they talk about the first months and years after leaving. Not relief. Disorientation. The collapse of the only framework they'd ever had for understanding the world.The Institute in Basic Life Principles was designed to be total. It governed education, relationships, marriage, dress, thought, and spiritual identity. When someone left, they didn't just lose a belief system. They lost every relationship, every social structure, and every metric by which they understood their own value.Women who entered marriages through IBLP's courtship system found themselves in relationships they couldn't evaluate independently — and when those relationships became abusive, the theology told them submission was faithfulness and divorce was catastrophe. Their instincts had been trained out of them. They had no vocabulary for what was being done to them.The education gap was immediate. ATI graduates couldn't pass standardized tests. They had no work experience that translated. They lacked foundational knowledge the outside world took for granted.And the harassment followed them out. Survivors who spoke publicly were called liars and accused of working for Satan. Gothard himself dismissed his accusers as conspirators.Recovering Grace, founded in 2011 by adults raised inside ATI, remains the primary support network. Books by Jinger Vuolo, Rebekah Drumsta, and others have brought the recovery process into public view.Recovery from IBLP takes decades, not months. This is Part 4. The cost of leaving a system designed to make departure feel like death.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Church has no other light than Christ's, and the Holy Spirit is the source of all its holiness. We believe that the Church is "holy," "catholic," "one," and "apostolic." Fr. Mike explains that Jesus has promised to guide the Church in the truth. Members of the Church are called and uniquely belong to the Lord. We also learn that the word 'church' has three inseparable meanings: the liturgical assembly, the local community, and the universal community of believers. The Church draws her life from the body of Christ and so becomes Christ's body. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 748-752.

This week I'm sharing the next installment from the terrific day-long conference convened by the Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs (ACF) at Johns Hopkins SAIS on April 3rd in Washington — "The China Debate We're Not Having: Politics, Technology, and the Road Ahead." Last week's episode featured Jessica Chen Weiss's opening remarks and the first panel, "What China Wants." This week, I've got the companion panel — "What Does the United States Want?" — which I think pairs beautifully with that first session, and which takes up a question that's arguably harder and more uncomfortable to answer. The panel is moderated by SAIS Dean James Steinberg, who served as Deputy National Security Advisor in the Clinton administration and Deputy Secretary of State under Obama — and who keeps this moving with real sharpness. He's joined by Matt Duss, Executive Vice President at the Center for International Policy, who starts things off with a bracing observation: the United States does not know what it wants. The old foreign policy consensus has shattered, he argues, and neither the Trump administration nor the Democratic establishment has produced a coherent replacement. He locates the most interesting thinking in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, where he hopes the 2028 primary will force some of these hard questions into the open. Katherine Thompson, a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute who previously served in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill, brings a military-strategic lens. She makes a sharp case that the new National Defense Strategy, for all its imperfections, at least opens the door to an honest conversation about trade-offs — something Washington has been allergic to. If you're going to prioritize deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, she argues, you have to actually give things up elsewhere, and the Iran situation is making that tension impossible to ignore. Jonas Nahm, the Andrew W. Mellon Associate Professor at SAIS who served in the Biden administration, reframes economic competition with China in refreshingly concrete terms. Rather than abstract great-power framing, he identifies three specific buckets — affordability and energy, technological catch-up, and manufacturing competitiveness — where Chinese capacity could actually help solve American problems, if we had the political imagination to let it. And Leslie Vinjamuri, president and CEO of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, brings striking new polling data showing a 40-percentage-point swing in American favorability toward China since 2024 — now at 53 percent — driven largely by Democrats but with movement among Republicans too. She situates this in the fading of pandemic-era hostility and the absence of sustained anti-China rhetoric from the current administration, and adds an invaluable perspective on how utterly confused America's allies are about what Washington actually expects of them. The conversation ranges across Taiwan and strategic ambiguity, whether allies arming up in the Indo-Pacific helps or hurts, the collapse of U.S. credibility on human rights, the future of dollar dominance, and whether the 2028 election will finally force a reckoning with these questions. It's a rich, candid discussion — and a reminder that the hardest debates in U.S.-China policy may not be about China at all.

As we conclude this article on the Holy Spirit, the Catechism teaches us today about the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the Church. Fr. Mike breaks down the four main ways the Holy Spirit is active in the mission of Christ and how the life of the Church completes that mission. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 737-747.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Khalilah Few and Jessica Bigbie to share a powerful story about what happens when government gets in the way of the American Dream. Khalilah, the owner of a growing natural hair care business, signed a lease for a larger space to meet demand and better serve her community. After completing every step in the process—including gathering support from local residents and businesses—her permit was unexpectedly denied. The zoning advisory committee cited “oversaturation,” despite the fact that nearby salons offer different services. Now, Khalilah is fighting back with a lawsuit. Her attorney, Jessica Bigbie from the Institute for Justice, joins the conversation to explain the legal battle and what it means for entrepreneurs facing similar barriers. This episode highlights the real challenges small business owners face—and why protecting economic opportunity is critical to keeping the American Dream alive.

The awakening often starts with a single moment of betrayal. For Dr. Chris De Armitt, it was his daughters coming home from school parroting a lie: "All plastic is bad and doesn't degrade." As a materials scientist, he knew this was scientifically false—and he was paying premium taxes for this "education." That anger launched a crusade that would lead him to review over 6,000 studies, write The Plastics Paradox, and found the Plastics Research Council. In this awakening conversation, we explore how we've been systematically misled about everything from microplastics to "biodegradable" bags, why your anxiety about plastic water bottles is literally more dangerous than the bottles themselves, and how to spot the difference between genuine science and billionaire-funded propaganda. If you're ready to question what you've been told about "saving the planet," this is your moment of clarity.   Guest: Dr. Chris De Armitt All Episodes: https://www.awakeningpodcast.org Roy / Brain Gym & Virtual Assistants: https://roycoughlan.com/ Bio of Dr. Chris De Armitt Dr. Chris De Armitt (PhD, FRSC, FIMMM, CChem) is one of the world's leading independent experts on plastics, microplastics, and the environment. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, he has worked at the forefront of polymer science with companies including BASF, HP, Apple, and Disney. He is the founder of Phantom Plastics and the Plastics Research Council, a network of professors and toxicologists dedicated to sharing scientific truth. After reviewing over 6,000 peer-reviewed studies, he authored The Plastics Paradox and Shattering the Plastics Illusion, both available for free. His work has been featured on CBS 60 Minutes, BBC, Sky News, and The Washington Post. He has advised governments and policymakers worldwide and has never been funded by the plastics industry.   What we discussed: 00:00 Introduction 01:10 How his daughter's homework sparked a global mission 02:10 Expert witness AGAINST plastic — vaginal mesh case & 9,000 settlements 03:35 Peer Reviewed Vs Paid Reviewed 05:30 The Plastic Protestors 06:20 What would make a difference to the Environment 06:50 The Plastic Straw Myth 07:50 The lie of the Plastic in our Bodies 08:20 Why it Does Not  take 1,000 yrs to break down 09:45 How long to Degrade a Plastic bag 11:19 Everylife bags 12:35 Tyre materials have toxic Rubber 14:20 How your body reacts to plastics  16:40 Does Plastics leak into your body from Water bottles 18:00 How Poor Countries sterilize their water 19:05 Testing the Plastic on rats should put you at ease 19:40 People get ill from the Worry of Plastics in your body 20:30 Fed 25% of Teflon to Rats 22:30 Do any Governments pay attention to his studies 24:30 Why taxing plastic bags did not help 25:50 What happens to our Plastic to be Recycled 27:50 Poland new bottle tax 30:35 No Correlation between Recycling and Litter 31:45 The Ocean Plastic Lie 36:20 Is the 8 Billion Population another Lie 37:20 The attacks on Social Media 41:25 His 2 Books on Plastic 42:50 Why are Billionaires lying about the Plastics 46:24 Be Skeptical of Headlines 47:30 Where to find Dr. Chris De Armitt

How have American presidents managed the most destructive weapons ever created? In this episode, Dr. Anthony Eames, Director of Scholarly Initiatives at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, joins me to examine the history of nuclear weapons through the decisions of U.S. presidents—from Truman and Eisenhower to Reagan and beyond. We discuss the logic of deterrence, the rise of arms control treaties, and the moments when the world came dangerously close to nuclear war.

In most systems, when someone is harmed, the question is what the perpetrator did. Inside the Institute in Basic Life Principles, the question was always what the victim did to cause it.IBLP's central teaching — the "umbrella of authority" — told families that staying under hierarchical authority meant spiritual protection. If harm came to you, it was because you stepped outside the structure, or because someone above you had secret sin that created a "leak." The person who actually caused the harm was never the primary focus. The victim's obedience was.That doctrine extended everywhere. Marriage teachings told wives their bodies weren't their own and warned against resisting their husbands. Purity culture defined women's value by their modesty and sexual history. Courtship placed fathers in total control of their daughters' romantic lives. And the organization's own literature on sexual assault eliminated the concept of a blameless victim entirely — always redirecting the focus to the harmed person's spiritual positioning.The practical effect was a system where reporting abuse felt like confessing a sin. Where women in abusive marriages couldn't leave because divorce was framed as spiritual failure. Where children learned that their suffering was evidence of their own disobedience.This is Part 2 of a five-part investigation into the inner workings of IBLP. Not the celebrity families. The operating system. The belief structure that evangelical scholars have called legalistic, extra-biblical, and designed to silence the people most likely to be harmed. And the question at the center: when a doctrine tells victims they caused their own abuse, is that a failure of the system — or is it the system working exactly as intended?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She told her pastor her father was abusing her. He told her she wasn't submissive enough. That exchange — as brutal as it sounds — is the predictable outcome of a doctrine designed to make authority absolute and questioning impossible.The Institute in Basic Life Principles taught that God's protection flows through a strict hierarchy: God to father, father to mother, mother to children. They called it the umbrella of authority. Step outside it and you're in Satan's territory. If harm comes to you, it's because of your positioning — not because of the person who harmed you. The victim is always the one who needs to adjust.That framework didn't just govern family structure. It governed marriage, where wives were told to submit regardless of their husband's failings and warned against resisting physical intimacy. It governed dress, where the female body was classified as an "eye trap" requiring concealment. It governed courtship, where fathers controlled every aspect of their daughters' romantic futures. It governed thought, where "emotional purity" meant having unauthorized feelings was a spiritual failure.The rules extended to every corner of life — banning specific toys, music, media, and friendships — creating a closed information ecosystem where the only available framework for understanding the world was the one the organization provided. And within that framework, the organization was always right.This is Part 2 of our five-part IBLP investigation. The doctrine itself. How it worked. What it did to the people inside it. And why multiple evangelical scholars, apologetics organizations, and former members have publicly called these teachings dangerous, extra-biblical, and cult-like.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Over the last twenty-five years, the concept of per-sonhood has become central to many contentious debates. Corporations have won free speech protections, as if they were individuals. The right to life or freedom has been claimed on behalf of fetuses, trees, and elephants. The fund of human rights is spilling over into the nonhuman.Lisa Siraganian's The Problem of Personhood: Giving Rights to Trees, Corporations, and Robots (Verso, 2026) reveals the unsettling consequences of granting rights to imagined persons, such as Sophia the robot citizen or New Zealand's Whanganui River. Synthesizing the political and phil­osophical debates on personhood and drawing on a varied cast of thinkers that includes Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt, and Dr. Seuss, Siraganian un­covers the disturbing impact of this contemporary development. Awarding rights to robots and rivers all too easily becomes a legal tool to turn people into capital. When robot Sophia is made a citizen, “she” is transformed into a subject in the law without the corre­sponding legal duties that protect us from her.At the root of this trend is the US Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling that grants First Amendment rights to corporations as if they were individuals. The result has not been the transformation of things into humans so much as humans into things, when animals and the environment would be better protected with reference to our humanity rather than to theirs. Lisa Siraganian is the J. R. Herbert Boone Chair in Humanities and Professor in the Department of Comparative Thought and Literature at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, Maryland, USA). Her work has won multiple awards and has been supported by fellowships from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Endowment of the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Siraganian has written award-winning scholarly monographs that bridge literary criticism, art criticism, and legal and philosophical scholarship. More recently, she was the Editor of the Norton Anthology of American Literature, 10th edition, Volume D (1914-1945) (2022).

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 127-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 35,584 on turnover of $12.3-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed slightly up at a new closing high Monday after recouping earlier losses, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to blockade the Strait of Hormuz after failing to reach an agreement with Iran. The market moved underwater during most of Monday's session in the wake of Trump's threats, but bargain hunters turned active in the late session, helping the Taiex recover its earlier downturn, with contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing in focus. Analysts say investors also have high hopes that TSMC will provide positive leads at its investor conference slated for Thursday, after it reported a new high in sales for the first quarter. Tony Leung in Xinyi for Masterclass Hong Kong actor Tony Leung drew a crowd of fans and industry insiders to Taipei's Xinyi district last night for a masterclass at the Golden Horse Fantasy Film Festival. The multiple Golden Horse best actor winner was accompanied by his wife actress Carina Lau, as fans gathered outside the venue carrying movie posters and merchandise hoping for autographs. The masterclass was open only to film and television industry professionals and students in related fields. Of the one thousand people who applied, just 300 were selected to attend. Following the masterclass, Leung took part in a post-screening discussion alongside Hungarian director Ildiko Enyedi, whose new film "Stille Freundin" features (由…主演) Leung in a lead role. The two shareed their experiences preparing for the film with the audience. (NS) French cement giant Lafarge found guilty of financing terrorism A court in Paris has found the cement giant Lafarge guilty of financing terrorism. The company was ruled to have paid armed groups protection money to maintain its business in Syria after the outbreak of civil war. Ross Cullen reports. Haiti Arrests Suspects in Fatal Stampede Authorities in Haiti have arrested seven suspects, including five police officers, after a fatal stampede (獸群或人群因恐懼引發的奔逃) killed at least 25 people at a historic mountaintop fortress over the weekend. A police statement issued on Monday says that among the arrested are two employees of Haiti's Institute for the Preservation of National Heritage. The institute oversees La Citadelle, a fortress in the northern town of Milot built in the early 1800s where Saturday's stampede occurred. Dozens of people were injured, with 30 reported to still be in hospital on Sunday. It's not clear what caused the stampede. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing. Colombia to Cull Wild Hippos Colombian officials have authorized a controversial plan to cull (限量捕殺) dozens of wild hippos that are descendants of animals brought to the country in the 1980s by notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. They have been roaming freely around one of the country's most fertile areas, threatening villagers and displacing local species. The animals are not native to South America. Escobar brought in hippos as he built a private zoo at a gigantic ranch that served as his rural abode. Colombia's authorities say previous attempts to control the hippos' population have been expensive and unsuccessful. Because Colombia's hippos come from a limited gene pool and could carry diseases, taking them back to their natural habitat in Africa has been considered unfeasible (不可行的). That was the I.C.R.T.

Putting the blame on failed peace talks squarely on Iran, President Trump ordered the US Navy to impose a blockade on Iranian ports, threatening to sink any Iranian ships that come near them. This move is intended to deal a devastating blow to Iran's already frail economy, but the country's top negotiator shrugged it off and warned American consumers they'd soon be "nostalgic" for lower gas prices. Joining the show to discuss all this is Danny Citrinowicz, a Senior Fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies and former head of the Iran branch of Israeli military intelligence.  Also on today's show: Former US House Republican Adam Kinzinger; Former US Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman; author A.

Thirty-four women. That's how many came forward with allegations of harassment and misconduct against Bill Gothard, the founder of one of the most powerful fundamentalist Christian organizations in American history. Some were teenagers when the alleged conduct occurred. Many had been personally recruited by Gothard to work at his headquarters. All of them came from families already embedded in his system — a system that taught, as its central doctrine, that questioning authority was the spiritual equivalent of stepping into Satan's territory.Gothard has denied all allegations. He resigned from the Institute in Basic Life Principles in 2014 after an internal investigation found he had acted "inappropriately" but not "criminally." He has never been charged.The Institute in Basic Life Principles isn't a fringe group. At its peak, IBLP claimed over two and a half million seminar attendees. Its homeschooling arm, the Advanced Training Institute, educated thousands of children with a curriculum built around Gothard's personal interpretations of scripture. Governors, congressmen, and presidential candidates attended its conferences. Its most famous adherents — the Duggar family — brought the organization into living rooms across America through reality television.This is the first installment of a five-part investigation into IBLP — not just the public figures, but the doctrine, the training centers, the political reach, and the survivors who got out. In 2025, the Texas Supreme Court allowed a lawsuit to proceed alleging that IBLP's teachings were engineered to create conditions enabling abuse within families. That case is pending. Gothard is ninety-one. The organization still operates from its Texas headquarters. And the question at the center of this series is the one the system was designed to prevent anyone from asking: who was holding the man at the top accountable?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before the Duggars became famous, there was Bill Gothard. Before the reality show, there was the doctrine. Before the scandals broke, there was a system already in motion — one designed so carefully that questioning it felt like questioning God himself.Gothard founded the Institute in Basic Life Principles in 1961 and spent decades building it into a fundamentalist empire. His seminars filled arenas with ten thousand attendees. His homeschool curriculum shaped an entire generation of children. His "umbrella of authority" teaching told families that absolute obedience to hierarchical authority was the only path to God's protection. Governors, congressmen, and political operatives attended his events. His organization claimed over two and a half million seminar participants. And at the center of it all was a man who answered to no one. Ordained at a single church that later refused to hold him accountable. Never married. No children. No denominational oversight. No theological peer review. He operated with near-total control over an organization worth tens of millions of dollars and the spiritual lives of the families inside it. Then thirty-four women accused him of harassment and misconduct. Gothard denied all allegations. An internal investigation found "inappropriate" behavior. He resigned in 2014. No criminal charges were ever filed. This is the first episode of a five-part deep dive into the inner workings of IBLP — the teachings, the training centers, the political machinery, and the survivors who escaped. In 2025, the Texas Supreme Court allowed a landmark lawsuit to proceed alleging the organization's doctrine was itself a mechanism enabling abuse. Gothard is ninety-one. IBLP still operates. The teachings are still for sale. This series goes well beyond the Duggar family. The Duggars are the most famous faces of this movement. But the movement is the story.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Chris interviews Dr. Nicole Hess about her research on female competition, indirect aggression, gossip, and “Informational Warfare” theory in U.S. sororities and small-scale societies in the Central African Republic. They also discuss the various challenges of field work, including personal and sociopolitical risks. Dr. Hess is a scholarly associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Washington, Vancouver. Dr. Hess studies gossip, friendship, cooperation, and coalitional competition. She conducted fieldwork in the Central African Republic and college Greek communities, and has conducted numerous experiments testing hypotheses derived from "Informational Warfare" theory, which proposes that coalitions may be useful in reputational competition (via, e.g., gossip) due to their improved abilities to collect, analyze, and disseminate relevant information. Trained as a multidisciplinary social scientist, Dr. Hess uses diverse quantitative and qualitative methods to explore human sociality and cognition, including psychological experiments, surveys, interviews, and ethnographic work. Dr. Hess received her PhD from UC Santa Barbara in biological anthropology and has worked for the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the Institute for Theoretical Biology at Humboldt University.

The working of the Holy Spirit in and through Mary and the Son is a pivotal part of God's plan of salvation. The Catechism today reveals to us how the Holy Spirit prepared Mary to fulfill the Father's plan and manifest the Son to humanity.

The United Methodist Church has experienced a sharp decline over the past century, from an estimated 11 million members in the 1950s to around 4 million now. However, over 1 million of those are estimated to have left since 2022 alone, due to splits over the teaching of homosexuality. Can the Church survive? And what does this tell us about Christianity in America in general – are we entering a 'post-denominational era'?Mark Tooley, president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy – and a committed Methodist, joins Damian Thompson to discuss.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

How do we know what we know? That's where science comes in—it gives us a method for testing our ideas and getting trustworthy results. But some researchers have warned that many scientific studies can't be replicated. To find out how deep the problem goes, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency funded one of the largest analyses of social science, called the SCORE project. They checked the results of thousands of papers across economics, education, and psychology—and found that only half of them could be replicated. Joining Host Ira Flatow to discuss the findings are Tim Errington, one of the leads on this project, and economist Abel Brodeur, who recently released the results of a separate replication study that found more encouraging results than SCORE did. Guest: Dr. Tim Errington is senior director of research at the Center For Open Science in Washington, D.C. Dr. Abel Brodeur is a professor of economics at the University of Ottawa and founder of the Institute for Replication.

Joseph Duggar faces charges across two states with vastly different legal consequences. In Bay County, Florida, he is charged with lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim under twelve and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person over eighteen — charges classified as a life felony carrying a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years upon conviction. According to the arrest affidavit, a now-fourteen-year-old girl reported to investigators that Joseph allegedly harmed her during a family vacation when she was nine. The affidavit states he allegedly admitted to the conduct when confronted by the victim's father and again during a call monitored by a Tontitown detective. Joseph posted $600,000 bond, had filed a written not-guilty plea and jury trial demand from custody prior to the hearing, and returned to Arkansas the same day. His Florida arraignment is scheduled.In Arkansas, both Joseph and Kendra Duggar were each charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment — misdemeanor charges carrying a combined maximum of eight years. The charges reportedly stem from investigators discovering locks on the exterior of children's bedroom doors during a home search connected to the Florida case. Kendra reportedly retained the Duggar family's longtime attorney for her own representation. She has vacated the family home with the children.The institutional context is unavoidable. Josh Duggar is serving twelve and a half years in federal prison for receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material — conviction upheld by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, certiorari denied by the Supreme Court. Bill Gothard, founder of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, has faced accusations from more than thirty women with zero criminal charges filed. A federal judge found Jim Bob Duggar's sworn testimony not credible in writing during Josh's proceedings. The Tontitown Police Department has described the Arkansas investigation as active and ongoing — language that signals the scope of what investigators are pursuing may not yet be fully reflected in current charges.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Dr. Bradley Lamm, DPM, Director of the Foot and Ankle Deformity Center and Director of the Foot and Ankle Deformity Correction Fellowship at the Paley Institute, joins the podcast to discuss groundbreaking advancements in foot and ankle surgery. He highlights the world's first patient-specific 3D-printed procedure, explores MedCad treatment options, and shares how these innovations are driving more advanced healing and improved patient outcomes.

Joseph Duggar faces charges in two states. In Florida, the charges are classified as a life felony — mandatory minimum of 25 years if convicted. According to the Bay County arrest affidavit, a now-fourteen-year-old girl reported that Joseph allegedly harmed her during a family vacation when she was nine. The affidavit states he allegedly admitted to the conduct twice — once when confronted by the girl's father, and again when the father called back with a detective monitoring the line. Joseph posted $600,000 bond with Jim Bob Duggar reportedly in the courtroom. He had already filed a written not-guilty plea and demanded a jury trial before the hearing took place.In Arkansas, both Joseph and Kendra face charges after investigators reportedly found locks on the outside of their children's bedroom doors — a detail that carries particular weight given the Duggar family's documented history of using exterior locks after Josh's earliest allegations became known internally. Kendra reportedly retained the family's longtime attorney for herself, left the home with the children, and has not returned.The broader pattern demands examination. Josh Duggar is serving twelve and a half years in federal prison, conviction upheld through the Eighth Circuit and Supreme Court cert denied. Bill Gothard, founder of the Institute in Basic Life Principles that shaped the Duggar family's belief system, has faced accusations from more than thirty women — zero criminal charges, denies everything, organization still operating. A federal judge found Jim Bob Duggar's sworn testimony not credible during Josh's case. No legal consequence. The voices speaking most clearly — Amy Duggar King to Fox News, Jim Bob's own sister to Page Six, Jinger Duggar on her podcast — are the ones who separated from the system. The voices still inside it communicate through spokespeople. That divide tells its own story about accountability, institutional failure, and who this system was designed to protect.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

President Trump wanted the Iran War to end quickly after six weeks of fighting, and so he issued a dire threat: submit or he will “end an entire civilization.” Now we're in a fragile two-week ceasefire for negotiations. The White House says the warning was necessary to get us to this point, but critics called it reckless.Congress also returns to DC after its two-week recess, and it's back to the continuing standoff on funding for the Department of Homeland Security. What can we expect from a legislative branch that was already struggling to get much done before a midterm election year?Plus we reflect on the meaning of the Artemis mission and whether it puts all our partisan battles in perspective. Producer: Leo DuranHost: David Greene Guests:  Mike Dubke, veteran GOP communications strategist and advisor.

3 'Dumb' Strategies That Beat PhD-Level Planning Every Time Summary Ever wondered why your genius friend is broke while your "average" neighbor owns multiple properties? Shocking research reveals that people with average IQ outperform those with the highest IQ 70% of the time, and intelligence only accounts for 25% of career success. The brutal truth is that IQ explains just 9% of income variance and a measly 2.4% of actual wealth accumulation – meaning 91% of financial success comes from factors that have nothing to do with how smart you are. This isn't about dumbing yourself down – it's about understanding why traditional intelligence often becomes a financial liability. Research from Ohio State University tracking over 7,000 people reveals the hidden patterns that separate the wealthy from the struggling, regardless of IQ scores. If you're tired of watching less "intelligent" people surpass you financially while you overthink every decision, this video exposes the real factors that drive wealth accumulation and why your biggest asset might actually be holding you back from the financial success you deserve. Entrepreneur tips that actually work: Tracy Brinkmann reveals why brilliant parents with advanced degrees build less wealth than average-IQ entrepreneurs. Drawing from Jay Zagorsky and Daniel Goleman's groundbreaking research, discover the 3 "dumb" strategies that beat PhD-level planning—and how to escape the intelligence trap holding back your side hustle and online business growth. In this eye-opening episode, Tracy Brinkmann reveals the uncomfortable truth about intelligence and wealth: your brilliant mind might be your biggest financial obstacle. Drawing from research by Jay Zagorsky and Daniel Goleman, Tracy explains why people with average IQs outperform those with the highest IQs 70% of the time when it comes to building wealth. Through real stories and practical frameworks, he breaks down the three intelligence traps keeping smart parents broke and provides actionable strategies to escape them. This episode is essential listening for any parent entrepreneur who's been "figuring it out" for too long without seeing real financial progress.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the left continues to favor Sharia law in support of Iran despite President Trump's plan to inialate the evil regime. Also the Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a self-described "progressive" candidate's bid to enter Ohio's Republican primary, leaving in place a decision by state election officials to disqualify him for misrepresenting his party affiliation. Samuel Ronan, a former Democratic state and national candidate, attempted to run as a Republican in Ohio's 15th Congressional District against GOP incumbent Rep. Mike Carey. To do so, he signed a declaration of candidacy — under penalty of election falsification — swearing he was a member of the Republican Party. And NATO's chief signaled Thursday that European allies may move to help secure the Strait of Hormuz following talks with President Trump — even as the White House declared the alliance had already "failed" and was not being asked to assist. Secretary-General Mark Rutte, speaking at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute in Washington a day after meeting Trump at the White House, pointed to a potential coalition effort among allied nations to keep the critical waterway open.

Episode Summary In this episode, Patrice unpacks a hard but necessary truth: not everything that looks like transformation is real transformation. Sometimes what appears to be growth is actually performance — a temporary adjustment rooted in pressure, approval, or the desire to keep access, rather than genuine conviction. Patrice explores how this shows up both in our relationships and within ourselves. We have all experienced moments where change seemed real at first. The apologies sounded sincere. The effort looked visible. The habits appeared to shift. But over time, the old patterns returned, revealing that the change was never deeply rooted enough to last. This conversation breaks down three reasons transformation often doesn't stick. First, change built on approval is fragile because it disappears when the pressure does. Second, mimicking the movement of change is not the same as embodying it. And third, real transformation takes time — quiet, repetitive, deeply integrated time — until a new way of being becomes part of your identity. If you have been frustrated by your own repeated cycles or disappointed by someone else's empty promises, this episode offers language, discernment, and relief. Because lasting transformation is not about performance. It is about conviction. And when change becomes part of who you are, you no longer have to announce it, defend it, or be reminded to live it.   Questions to Ask Yourself: Am I pursuing change because I truly believe in it, or because I want someone's approval? Where in my life have I mistaken performance for transformation? What patterns keep returning because I have not yet fully embodied a new identity? Am I giving real change enough time to take root in my life? What would it look like to choose conviction over appearances in this season?   Want to Redefine Wealth for Yourself? Start Here:
