Story at-a-glance Fluoridated water provides little dental benefit but carries serious neurological risks, including lower IQ and disrupted brain development in children Most developed countries have rejected fluoridation and still have similar rates of dental health, while 62.8% of Americans receive it without informed consent A North Dakota investigation revealed federally funded officials using deceptive tactics to override local authority when communities attempted to end water fluoridation programs Beyond cognitive impacts, fluoride exposure has been linked to skeletal fluorosis, increased fracture risk, thyroid issues, and muscle atrophy To reduce your fluoride exposure, install specialized filtration systems, use fluoride-free oral products, avoid hidden sources in food and beverages, and advocate for policy changes
What if the real solution to homelessness isn't more shelters—but a complete rethink of how we treat the crisis? Joining Gregg to talk about it is Ron Book—Lawyer, Lobbyist, Nobel Peace Prize nominee & Chairman of the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust. This incredible organization has created what is considered the “National Best Practice Model” for ending homelessness. In this episode of Cut to the Chase, Ron gives us some “compassionate tough love” as he reveals how Miami-Dade went from over 8,000 people living on the streets to less than 900. He breaks down Miami-Dade's approach which includes focusing on long-term housing solutions, running the Trust like a business, and never being afraid to own mistakes, iterate, and try new approaches. Tune in to learn the realities of affordable housing in America, myths around encampments and panhandling, and the key behind Miami's success in reducing houselessness. What you'll learn in this episode: Inside Miami's homelessness model: A business-like approach with zero debt, full audits, and reinvested rent The housing-first reality behind homelessness—and why Miami turns hotels and federal land into homes, not shelters Why street encampments and panhandling aren't compassion—they're barriers to real recovery and lasting change “The Lazarus Project”: The organization that sends medical teams to the streets to connect the chronically homeless with long-term care Why tiny homes aren't a gimmick—when done right, they're a scalable, dignified solution with real impact The secret to Miami's success: $47 million in dedicated annual funding, strong leadership, and a disciplined plan Key Takeaways: End Homelessness, Don't Maintain It: Real change means moving people off the streets—not enabling sidewalk survival with panhandling and handouts. Treat Homelessness Like a Business: Track outcomes, audit every dollar, and require buy-in from residents—accountability drives lasting solutions. Repurpose What Exists: Transform hotels, federal land, and underused spaces into scalable housing—from tiny homes to transitional facilities. Fund Solutions, Not Symptoms: A dedicated food and beverage tax powers Miami-Dade's long-term success—proving the value of steady funding. Build with a Plan, Not Politics: Success comes from a clear strategy, strong leadership, and community buy-in—not short-term fixes.

A new report suggests that AI could slash half of entry-level white-collar jobs. Tech journalist Karen Hao joins The Weekend to discuss.
Send us a textBuckle up, there may be turbulence on this ride.On the show today is Elizabeth Eurgubian , now a lobbyist in Washington DC but who just a few months ago served as NCUA Director of the Office of External Affairs and Communications and Policy Advisor to Chairman Harper. That's an important position at NCUA - it's a political appointment.Before that she was deputy chief advocacy officer at CUNA and before that she was a vice president and a lobbyist for ICBA.She knows Washington DC and she especially knows the lobbying intricacies involving credit unions and community banks.This episode was recorded the day before NCUA chairman Kyle Haputman revealed the staff reorganization plan for NCUA which is a slightly deeper staffing cut than Eugubian predicted but that makes her predictions for NCUA operations with a smaller staff even more chilling.Bottomline: she says everything will take longer at a slimmed down NCUA, an agency she says was thinly staffed before this 20+ percent staffing cut.Along the way Ergubian gives a short course on how to lobby effectively and offers insights into the likely future of NCUA (will it stay independent?), the credit union federal tax exemption, and credit union examinations in a slimmed down NCUA.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

Vor 30 Jahren erlebte die Schweiz die grösste aussenpolitische Krise seit dem zweiten Weltkrieg. Es ging um die Nachrichtenlosen Vermögen, der Druck aus den USA war immens. Thomas Borer leitete damals die Taskforce des Bundes und liefert nun in einem Buch Blicke hinter die Kulissen. In fünf Bänden und auf 2800 Seiten erzählt Thomas Borer die Geschichte dieser Zeit aus seiner Perspektive anhand von zahlreichen Dokumenten. Es beschreibt den Druck, der auf die Schweiz ausgeübt wurde, die Schwierigkeiten des Bundesrates, damit umzugehen, von den Lehren, die gezogen wurde. Heute sei einiges besser als damals, aber noch immer sei die Schweiz schlecht aufgestellt, wenn sie schnell auf eine Krise reagieren muss. Thomas Borer ist heute Unternehmensberater und Lobbyist. Das Gespräch führt Simone Hulliger.

Die Debatte mit Ann Kristin Schenten, Julia Pohle und Ingo Dachwitz --- "Big Tech ist der größte Lobbyist in Brüssel." (Julia Pohle) --- Big Tech war einst ein Heilsversprechen: Internet für alle, die große digitale Revolution. Heute jedoch liegt die Macht im Netz bei wenigen Konzernen – Google, Meta, Alphabet und Co. Wir alle sind von ihnen abhängig. Dabei wäre es dringend nötig, digitale Souveränität aktiv zu gestalten, meint die Sozialwissenschaftlerin Julia Pohle. In Brüssel hätte sich immerhin starke Regulierungsmacht etabliert, betont der Journalist Ingo Dachwitz – und appelliert zugleich an unsere Verantwortung: Wer den Weg in die digitale Unabhängigkeit gehen und Big Tech verstehen will, darf den globalen Süden nicht vergessen. Welche Antworten finden wir auf die wachsende – und zunehmend politische – Macht von Big Tech? --- Ingo Dachwitz ist Kommunikationswissenschaftler und arbeitet als politischer Tech-Journalist für das preisgekrönte Investigativmedium netzpolitik.org. 2025 hat er gemeinsam mit Sven Hilbig das Sachbuch "Digitaler Kolonialismus - Wie Tech-Konzerne und Großmächte die Welt unter sich aufteilen" im C.H. Beck Verlag veröffentlicht. --- Julia Pohle ist Co-Leiterin der Forschungsgruppe Politik der Digitalisierung am Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB). Zudem ist sie assoziierte Forscherin an der Brussels School of Governance und dem CNRS in Paris. Ihre zentralen Forschungsthemen sind globale Digitalpolitik, Internet Governance und internationale Kommunikationspolitik. --- Mehr Infos s. www.radiodrei.de/derzweitegedanke --- Schreiben Sie uns direkt an derzweitegedanke@radiodrei.de.

Risikerer fortrolig viden at ende på den forkerte side af bordet, når en af landets topembedsmænd skifter Erhvervsministeriet ud med bankernes lobbyorganisation Finans Danmark? Det frygter flere eksperter, efter at Finans Danmark har ansat en af de absolutte topembedsmænd fra ministeriet, Steen Lohmann Poulsen, som ny direktør. Men er frygten begrundet? Det diskuterer panelet i dagens udgave af Bundlinjen, hvor panelet også taler om en opsigtsvækkende analyse fra Dansk Industri, der viser, at kun halvdelen af de danske kvinder er tilbage på fuldtid to år efter fødslen af deres første barn.
