Bush, who now analyzes politics and culture as a staff writer at The Atlantic. He joins the show to discuss.

Due to political differences, there's not a lot of sympathy from Democratic leaders such as Chuck Schumer and others regarding Charlie Kirk's death. Michael believes we need to teach our children that this is a democracy that's happening in the USA at this moment under President Trump's leadership.
Are Republicans agreeing with the left-wing media's bitterness toward Charlie Kirk? President Trump doesn't sugarcoat the truth.

Journalist & Author Batya Ungar-Sargon calls in to discuss the narrative of political violence in the U.S. following the assassination of Charlie Kirk last week. Batya argues against the portrayal of equal violence from both political sides, citing examples like the assassination attempt on Governor Shapiro and the January 6th Capitol riot. She also touches upon media bias, specifically the persistent labeling of certain events as insurrections. Gun control is addressed, stressing that the responsible gun owners are often on one side of the political spectrum. Towards the end, Batya delve into the implications of a potential victory for Zohran Mamdani in New York, reflecting on local and national security concerns. Learn more about your ad choices.

John Dedakis spent 45 years in journalism—including 25 years at CNN, where he interviewed presidents, covered the White House, and even got tear-gassed during a riot. But behind the headlines is a personal journey marked by profound loss—losing a sister to suicide and a son to a heroin overdose.Out of those experiences, Dedakis has written six acclaimed political thrillers featuring his strong-willed protagonist, Lark Chadwick. His novels weave together the grit of journalism and the raw reality of grief, offering stories that are as powerful as they are personal.In this conversation, John opens up about:How journalism shaped his fiction writingThe role grief plays in creativity and healingThe decade-long grind to land his first publishing dealHis second career as a writing coach and mentorIf you've ever wondered how personal pain can fuel purposeful storytelling, this episode is a must-watch.https://johndedakis.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Thank you for tuning in to I Am Refocused Radio.

Content warning: (Please do take care while listening as this episode discusses themes around suicidal ideation and death. If you are in distress currently, across Canada you can call or text 9-8-8 toll free from anywhere around the country. *** We've known of this returning guest for years and first had her on with us back in 2021 - during Covid when she made podcasts from inside her closet, like many others did, while we were all recording from home. She joins us on the show to talk about one of the most contentious topics of our times in the country and especially for the disability community. We've wanted to discuss the situation with medical assistance in dying (MAID) on Outlook for a long time, but waited until a journalist could walk us through it, someone with both a professional and lived experience point-of-view. Meagan Gillmore grew up in London, the city where we broadcast Outlook from, but now she lives in Ottawa, Canada's capital city and reports for New online independent news publication Canadian Affairs which first launched back in 2023. What exactly is MAID and how does it, in any way, differ from physician assisted suicide, euthanasia or any of the other terms you may have heard mentioned in the news? We learn more about the history of medical assistance in dying so from the historical to the political, Meagan walks us through things like eligibility criteria and the two separate MAID tracks, along with changes in the criminal code, private members bills and legislative changes and other political elements, on lawsuits and the courts, and shares how most journalistic outlets do not cover medical assistance in dying with any sort of sustained coverage. We get an idea why journalists with lived experience of disability (either physical or mental) are well suited to keeping the media aware, along with the rest of us who often find MAID made more complicated by the sensitivity of the issue and society's cultural fear of discussing anything remotely related to death and dying. Gillmore shares with us a mixture of researched and reported details on the path MAID has been on in Canadian society along with her own personal up close experience with considering applying for it herself at one time. Plus we the hosts also share why this subject is so personal to us as Canadians living with disability and chronic illness during these capitalist times where barriers still exist with finding and maintaining steady employment and other factors toward fitting in in one's community. Common ongoing themes discussed on this show about struggling with independence and dependence (not feeling like a burden when it comes to feeling like we must not burden society) vs interdependence and the grey areas of life and being part of our communities while finding purpose and balance in all areas of life are covered between the three of us. Why would someone ever consider this rout for themselves or are there pressures put on those who have done it or are contemplating it? ? Why are people with disabilities feeling all this most intensely, has this gotten out of hand in Canada in particular, and what do disability organisations and groups think about all of it? How are physicians and other medical professionals feeling and viewing all this? From the legal system to advocating for human rights, all these things and more on this important episode. *** Read recent articles written by Gillmore for Canadian Affairs: https://www.canadianaffairs.news/author/meagan_gillmore/ Find an article on MAID by Gillmore from The Walrus in 2023: https://thewalrus.ca/assisted-dying/ And to learn more about Meagan, check out her prior Outlook appearance: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/outlook-2021-02-08-interview-with-journalist-meagan/id1527876739?i=1000508230958

A Hong Kong court is set to deliver a verdict soon for democracy activist and media magnate Jimmy Lai, who has been detained for five years.

Story of the Week (DR):Lachlan Murdoch Secures Control of Fox and News Corp, Ending Succession FightLachlan Murdoch is confirmed as Rupert Murdoch's successor, gaining control over the family's media empire (which includes Fox Corporation and News Corp). Prudence MacLeod, Elisabeth Murdoch, and James Murdoch—three of Rupert's older children—will each receive about US$1.1 billion. They will sell their holdings in Fox and News Corp and give up beneficial/trust rights in those companies.Apart from full siblings Elisabeth and James Murdoch, Lachlan has three half-siblings, an elder half-sister Prudence, and two younger sisters by his father's third marriage, Grace and Chloe. A new family trust will be set up benefiting Lachlan and Rupert's younger daughters, Grace and Chloe. That trust will hold controlling voting shares in Fox and News Corp. The three older siblings will no longer be beneficiaries in the trust(s) connected to Fox and News Corp. They also give up any voting rights held via those trusts. Rupert Murdoch, despite handing over the control structure, retains a role as Chairman Emeritus. The new trust arrangement secures Lachlan's control over the companies through 2050. One of Rupert Murdoch's concerns was the possibility that the more moderate siblings (Prudence, Elisabeth, James) could shift the political or editorial leanings of Fox/News Corp after he's gone. The new structure is designed to prevent that.Senators Call for Hearings About JPMorgan's Ties to Jeffrey EpsteinDemocrats want CEO Jamie Dimon to testify about keeping Epstein as a client until 2013Epstein had dozens of accounts at JPMorgan's private bank and communicated often with bank executives, connecting them to his wealthy contacts, ties The Wall Street Journal first reported in 2023 to be deeper than understood. Epstein was a JPMorgan client before and after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008 and forced to register as a sex offender.Trump Epstein letter and drawing from ‘birthday book' releasedEric Trump removed from the ALT5 board of directors after discussion with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLCTrump's second son, Eric Trump, was removed from the ALT5 board of directors. According to the SEC filing, the change was made after discussion with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, therefore, the change was in order to comply with Nasdaq's listing rules.It is still unclear which of the Nasdaq rules caused Eric Trump to be removed. The closest reason would be the rule that requires a majority of board members at listed companies to be independent. However, if Trump didn't qualify as independent, other members would have also been removed, which was not the case.after discussion with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC … and in order to comply with Nasdaq's listing rules.” He is now a board observer: While he was originally announced as a full board member, Eric Trump has been reassigned to observer status — meaning he can attend meetings but doesn't have voting power.Larry Ellison's $100 billion day reminds us why David Ellison could buy ParamountLarry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, recently saw his net worth jump by around US$100 billion in a single day due to a spike in Oracle's stock.Larry's wealth was a key factor enabling his son, David Ellison, to acquire Paramount.David Ellison's position is less pressured because his father's vast wealth gives him a kind of “cushion” — meaning that even if some deals don't go well, he can withstand the backlash more than many media owners could.Paramount Skydance Prepares Ellison-Backed Bid for Warner Bros. DiscoveryThe majority of the planned bid for Warner will be made up of cashA Key to Larry Ellison's Wealth Creation: Years of Oracle Stock BuybacksOracle has used aggressive stock buybacks over the past 15 years as a major lever to boost shareholder value—and especially to amplify Larry Ellison's personal wealth. Oracle has aggressively repurchased its own shares over roughly the last 15 years — reducing its outstanding share count by nearly 45%. Because Larry Ellison held roughly the same number of shares, his ownership percentage rose from ~23% to around 41% without buying more stock.This buyback strategy significantly boosted the value of Ellison's stake — Barron's estimates that without the buybacks, his stake might have been worth only $215 billion instead of the current ~$387 billion.Ellison didn't need to purchase additional Oracle shares to increase the value of his investment—he benefited from the shrinking pool of shares and the company's rising valuation.Vanguard Tries To Get Investors Interested In Proxy Voting MMVanguard's trying to get millions of its fund investors involved in big corporate decisions—but so far, most people are still tuning out. That's left folks wondering who really holds sway at America's largest companies.Vanguard's campaign faces a classic case of 'rational apathy', where most index fund investors skip shareholder votes because it feels like a hassle with little impact on their own wallets.Even though Vanguard's Voting Choice program doubled participation to 82,000 people and tripled the dollar value voted to $9 billion, that's tiny compared to the company's 50 million investors and $11 trillion in assets.Studies from Duke, Florida, and Columbia universities show just how overwhelming the sheer number of ballot measures can be—making most people pick broad voting policies, like mainstream or anti-ESG, instead of poring over each decision.While reformers hope wider voting can democratize the system, the early results point the other way: individuals often skip votes or side with management, letting company leaders keep their grip. In fact, last year's Tesla shareholder votes would have failed if Vanguard's index funds had voted like individuals.Financial Services Committee Examines the Shareholder Proposal Process and Proxy Advisory FirmsOn the Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank on Annual Proxy Statements: “Together, these two laws [Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank] have driven up costs, increased the length and complexity of proxy statements, expanded the disclosure and oversight process, and fundamentally changed much of the shareholder access to the proxy system,” said Chairman Hill.French Hill: founder, Chair, and CEO of Delta Trust & Banking Corporation from 1999 until 2014. A ninth-generation Arkansan, Hill is a direct descendent of slave plantation owner Creed Taylor who was among the wealthiest 1% of Americans in 1860.On the Cost of Unnecessary and Irrelevant Shareholder Proposals: “Under this flawed system, companies are too often forced to waste valuable time and resources fighting proposals that are irrelevant to the company's bottom line, hurting investors and workers alike,” said Capital Markets Subcommittee Chair Ann Wagner (MO-02)."Allowing a small group of left-wing activists to hijack the proxy proposal process to push social, environmental, DEI, or political objectives totally unrelated to the core business of a company does not advance the cause of capitalism. It undermines capitalism. It corrupts capitalism because it results in the misallocation of resources of the company. It undermines the profitability of the company. It hurts the shareholders,” stated Financial Institutions Subcommittee Chair Rep. Andy Barr (KY-06).Barr believes that abortion should be illegal, including in cases of rape and incestBarr, who's now running for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat, made it clear that he and Musk are joined at the hip. A few days after the “town hall” Barr released a photo of himself standing beside a shiny new Tesla, with a big smile, a thumbs-up, and the caption “Elon Musk sure knows what he's doing!”On How Proxy Advisory Firms Can Deter Businesses from Joining Public Markets: “For many small and medium private companies considering an IPO, the decision often comes down to whether the benefits of accessing public markets outweigh the risk of compliance. But as we have seen in recent years, the shareholder proposal process can be dominated by a small group of activist investors advancing niche political agendas that have little to do with long term value creation. At the same time, proxy advisory firms wield outsized influence over voting outcomes, and [are] operating with limited transparency and potential conflicts of interest. So together, these dynamics can create an uncertainty and additional cost that make public markets less attractive,” declared House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams (TX-25).Williams was listed as the 22nd wealthiest member of Congress in 2018. Williams inherited the family's automobile dealership from his father, who founded the business in 1939.During the COVID-19 pandemic, Williams's Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership in Weatherford, Texas, received a loan of between $1 million and $2 million as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP);[28][29] the loan was later forgivenGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Boone Electric Co-op members can cast drive-thru votes for directorsDR: New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free DR MMThe program, which will start in November and is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

ABOUT CONFRONTING EVILThe concept of evil is universal, ancient, and ever present today. The biblical book of Genesis clearly defines it when Cain kills his brother Abel out of jealousy. Evil is a choice to make another suffer. As long as human beings have walked, evil has been close by.Confronting Evil by Bill O'Reilly and Josh Hammer recounts the deeds of the worst people in history: Genghis Khan. The Roman Emperor Caligula. Henry VIII. The collective evil of the 19th century slave traders and the 20th century robber barons. Stalin. Hitler. Mao. The Ayatollah Khomeini. Putin. The Mexican drug cartels. Collectively, these warlords, tyrants, businessmen, and criminals are directly responsible for the death and misery of hundreds of millions of people.By telling what they did and why they did it, Confronting Evil explains the struggle between good and evil--a choice every person in the Judeo-Christian tradition is compelled to make. But many defer. We avoid the life decision. We look away. It's easier.Prepare yourself to read the consequences of that inaction. As John Stuart Mill said in his inaugural address to the University of St. Andrews in 1867: "Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing."BILL O'REILLY BIOBill O'Reilly is a trailblazing TV journalist who has experienced unprecedented success on cable news and in writing fifteen national number-one bestselling nonfiction books. There are currently more than 17 million books in the Killing series in print. He currently hosts the 'No Spin News' on BillOReilly.com. He lives on Long Island.https://www.youtube.com/billoreillyhttps://www.billoreilly.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Thank you for tuning in to I Am Refocused Radio.

Before sports broadcaster Jen Mueller could break into sideline reporting with the Seattle Seahawks, win her Emmy, and score a Super Bowl ring (yep, she's got one), she had to bust through some significant gender barriers. She pushed past that male-dominated world and into a pretty hostile locker room, and it taught her some things. “You learn how to stand your ground, how to speak up, but more importantly, how to make the most of whatever interaction you actually get with somebody”.After 17 years with the Seahawks, Jen uses what she's learned in the locker room to help people communicate effectively, when every second counts.Today we're hearing Jen's lessons on how to use your time to speak up and break out, even if that box seems indestructible.About JenJen Mueller, founder of Talk Sporty to Me, is a business communication expert with 25 years of experience as a sports broadcaster.
