As Open Season approaches, one Republican is raising concerns about funding for the Federal Employees Health Benefits program. Oklahoma Senator James Lankford is questioning the Office of Personnel Management on how it plans to avoid exhausting the FEHB's trust fund. He says it's a concern, since there aren't any incoming contributions to the trust fund under the government shutdown. In response to Lankford's questions, OPM said that if needed, it would be able to let health carriers request additional funding from contingency reserves. But for the time being, OPM says all FEHB plans have sufficient funds to pay claims.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chuck Todd breaks down the ongoing government shutdown and the deep dysfunction gripping Washington. With the shutdown dragging into late October, Trump is reportedly tapping private donors to pay the military, while Speaker Mike Johnson keeps the House out of session — a move Chuck calls a major political blunder. As Trump consolidates control over both the presidency and Congress, Republicans appear more focused on shielding him than exercising oversight. Meanwhile, the Oversight Committee under James Comer has devolved into partisan theater, investigating the Bidens while ignoring blatant corruption in Trump’s orbit. Chuck argues that without real congressional checks, America risks drifting toward the kind of pre-revolutionary rot the Founders warned about — where power, privilege, and impunity rule unchecked. Then, filmmaker Raoul Peck joins Chuck to discuss his powerful new documentary Orwell: 2+2=5 — an exploration of truth, propaganda, and power in the age of Trump. Peck, whose work often examines systems of control and colonialism, draws from Orwell’s life and letters to reveal how 1984 was never just a warning about the future — it was a reflection of the present. He and Chuck unpack how doublespeak, “alternative facts,” and the rewriting of history have crept into modern democracies, from the U.S. to Russia, and what Orwell’s insights reveal about the fragility of truth today. Peck also reflects on his own Haitian roots and how the legacy of colonialism still shapes global politics, from America’s interference in Haiti to its uneasy role as an arbiter of democracy abroad. The conversation turns to the media’s complicity in enabling authoritarian narratives, the dangers of AI-driven misinformation, and why reclaiming truth — and teaching future generations to defend it — may be the defining struggle of our time. Finally, he hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the publication of the Federalist Papers and why their lessons are extremely pertinent in the Trump era, answers questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and gives his college football recap.

Government shutdowns have become a predictable crisis in Washington, but they don't save money—they cost taxpayers billions while grinding essential services to a halt. From stalled small business loans and delayed passports to wasted federal dollars and lost productivity, shutdowns hurt everyday Americans and damage our country's credibility on the world stage. In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Oklahoma Senator James Lankford about his Preventing Government Shutdown Act. Senator Lankford explains how his plan would keep the government open, force Congress to focus on appropriations, and protect taxpayers from the waste and uncertainty of shutdown politics. This is a candid look at the reforms needed to bring common sense back to the budget process.

The Divine Redirection: How Crisis Led to a Global MissionWhat happens when the career you've spent 16 years building suddenly crumbles beneath your feet? For Elaine, this devastating reality became the unexpected doorway to her true calling.From oncology nurse to pain management specialist, Elaine had built a respected medical career while balancing motherhood to her son Nicholas and her younger cousin Julie, whom she'd taken in to provide stability. Then came 2008 – the year everything fell apart. Her medical practice was abruptly shut down, her father passed away, and her husband was diagnosed with cancer – all within months."I can remember sitting in my bedroom in the dark, silent, with the tears rolling, not able to move and just thinking 'where are you, God?'" Elaine recalls of her darkest moment. Yet it was precisely this crisis that forced her to rediscover who she truly was beyond her professional identity.Through volunteer work, mission trips to Nicaragua, and eventually publishing her first book about her journey, Elaine found a new direction – empowering women entrepreneurs who felt called to start businesses, ministries, and nonprofits. Today, her organization She Steps Forward operates on two continents, providing coaching, seed funding, and community for women stepping into their purpose.What makes Elaine's story so powerful is how motherhood influenced her resilience. "I can't let my kids watch me fail. I can't let my kids not know that God is real," she explains, revealing how her determination to model faith and perseverance for her children became a driving force in her darkest moments.Whether you're facing a career setback, considering entrepreneurship, or simply need inspiration to push through difficult seasons, Elaine's journey demonstrates how our greatest challenges can become the foundation for unexpected purpose. Listen now to discover how sometimes losing your way becomes the first step to finding your calling.Connect with Elaine:Websites: shestepsforwardcoaching.comshestepsforwardinternational.orgIG Accounts: @shestepsforward_coaching & @shestepsforwardinternationalEmail: elaine@shestepsforwardcoaching.com Contact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@RYHReclaimingYourHue Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

Over the past few months, the ERLC has actively called on Congress and the administration to take decisive action to defund Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider responsible for nearly 400,000 abortions annually. In March, the ERLC hosted its first pastor advocacy trip where ERLC staff and Southern Baptist pastors hand-delivered 10,000 signatures for the ERLC's campaign to defund Planned Parenthood to Senator Lankford's and Senate Majority Leader John Thune's offices. The group also met with Speaker Mike Johnson, Sens. Ted Cruz and James Lankford, and others, giving them on-the-ground experience with life in D.C. and a better understanding of how the work that the ERLC does matters to the mission of our churches. Today, you'll hear from Brent Leatherwood, president of the ERLC, as he shares more about how pastors are helping to amplify the voice of Southern Baptists to elected officials on issues concerning the protection and dignity of preborn lives.  You'll also hear from Ben Bolin, pastor of Travis Avenue Baptist Church in Ft. Worth, Texas. He was on the trip and has served in Christian ministry for 20 years.
