 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Firas Isa, the founder of Crypto Dispenser, a bootstrapped and profitable company that has been quietly building Bitcoin on-ramp infrastructure since 2017. Firas started with a single Bitcoin ATM, partnered with GreenDot Bank to place cash deposit points across 100,000 retail stores like CVS and Walmart, and has grown to over 100,000 registered users , all without taking a penny of outside investment. In this conversation, we dig into why cash is still the purest way to buy Bitcoin, the brutal reality of getting bank accounts shut down repeatedly, and why Firas believes Bitcoin is the world's most peaceful revolution against currency debasement. If you have ever wondered how to buy Bitcoin without going through a big exchange, or you are a founder trying to understand what it actually takes to survive a decade in the crypto space on a bootstrap budget, this episode is for you. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

  From a 10-bed lying-in hospital to Handel's Messiah, the Rotunda Maternity Hospital has operated continuously for 281 years. A Nurses' Week story. Summary Across the street from Danny’s Dublin hotel stood a large white institutional building with no signage. It turned out to be the Rotunda Hospital — the oldest continuously operating maternity hospital in the world, delivering babies in the same building since December 8th, 1757. Surgeon Bartholomew Mosse founded it after losing his wife and child in childbirth, trained as a midwife in Paris at a time when physicians were penalized for practicing midwifery, and returned to Dublin determined to build something that didn’t yet exist. The first version had 10 beds and delivered 190 babies in its first year, with one maternal death. Unable to raise money for a larger hospital — no one wanted to fund poor women’s care — Mosse attended the world premiere of Handel’s Messiah in Dublin in 1742 and was inspired. He turned the future hospital site into a pleasure garden with orchestras, dances, and theater to attract wealthy donors. He was later imprisoned for debt, escaped through a castle window in Wales, hid in the mountains for three weeks, and died exhausted and broke in 1759, less than two years after the new hospital opened. Sara E. Hampson, one of Florence Nightingale’s original nurses, became the hospital’s first female superintendent in 1891 — a thread that ties Nurses Week directly to this building, Danny almost walked past.

Welcome to 2026 Nurses Week, May 6th through 12th. I’m very proud to be a nurse. I’ve been a nurse for 50 years. And my grandson’s going to nursing school next year. He’s graduating as a senior and will attend Loyola University in Chicago for its nursing program. I’m very proud. I want to tell you a story about one of the most significant things that happened during our trip to Ireland a couple of weeks ago. We were staying in the north-central city of Dublin, Ireland. Across the street, I saw a big white institutional facade with no signage. It looked like the side of the building. Next to it, on its right, was a dome with a more modern sign that read “Ambassador”. So, I went into the hotel and asked, “So what’s this building?” And they didn’t know. I looked it up, and it turned out to be the Rotunda Hospital. The Rotunda Hospital is the oldest freestanding maternity hospital in the world. Midwifery Was Scandalous. He Did It Anyway. Now let me see. I’ve got some notes here. The hospital was founded in 1745 by a man named Bartholomew Mosse, M-O-S-S-E. He was a certified surgeon. His wife and child died in childbirth. After this tragedy, he left Ireland to serve as a doctor with the British Army. While he was away, he received midwifery training at a hospital in Paris and obtained his midwifery license, which was unusual. In fact, fellows of the Royal College of Physicians were even penalized if they practiced midwifery. But Mosse wanted to change that. So, he built this small place, 10 beds, that… Let’s see, when did it open? I guess it opened in 1745. Mosse’s ambition was to build a dedicated maternity hospital in Dublin to provide medical care and shelter to the city's penniless mothers. This came after he encountered unspeakable conditions during his practice, particularly in the aftermath of the 1739 famine. So he established this 10-bed hospital. It was in a small theater called the New Booth Theatre. It says here that it was the first lying-in hospital of its kind in the world. It had only 10 beds, but in its first year, 190 babies were born, and just one mother died. But obviously, they couldn’t meet demand with 10 beds. When No One Funds Poor Mothers, Try Dancing Mosse tried to raise money to build a larger hospital, but nobody really wanted to give money to poor women. So he happened to attend the world premiere of Handel’s Messiah on April 13, 1742. While he was there, he was inspired to raise money by entertaining the wealthy. Somebody sent me a picture of the Handel statue that’s in front of the theater where the premiere was, which I thought would be interesting. According to my research, on the evening of April 13th, 1742, Handel conducted the world premiere of his Messiah on Dublin’s Fishamble Street, and Mosse was present. Historians suggest that this moment crystallized Mosse’s idea of using high-society entertainment to fund a hospital for the poor. So Mosse turned the proposed hospital site into a pleasure garden with a live orchestra, theatrical performances, and dances in a coffee house, marrying philanthropy with frivolity to reach the wealthy. Debt, Daring Escape, Death Here’s a little interesting tidbit. Lotteries nearly destroyed Dr. Mosse. Before he was able to return to Ireland, he was arrested and charged with being 200 pounds in debt, and he’s thought to have been imprisoned in Beaumaris Castle in Anglesey, Wales. The story was that he managed to escape through a window and hid in the Welsh mountains for three weeks before reaching Ireland. He then vindicated himself by publishing his receipts and lottery accounts, whatever. But less than a year after the hospital opened, he was taken seriously ill, exhausted, heavily in debt, and petrified about the prospect of arrest and imprisonment. He died on February 16th, 1759. Fix the Air, Save the Babies. Then and Now. Around 1781, when the hospital was poorly ventilated and every sixth child died within nine days of birth, they realized the problem was poor ventilation. Ventilation was improved, and mortality dropped to 1 in 20 over the following five years. They’re also planning to celebrate their millionth birth in 2026. It’s just amazing. I met a saleswoman in a sweater store who asked where we went in Dublin. When I told her about the Rotunda Hospital, she said she had a difficult pregnancy and birth without insurance. She received care at the Rotunda Hospital, with her baby in neonatal intensive care for three weeks and herself as an inpatient for two weeks. Awesome care! So, when we were there, I, an old white guy in a wheelchair, motored into the Rotunda Hospital and stopped at the registration desk to ask if I could speak with someone. I had not made an appointment. I was leaving the next day. Very nice people. I tried to get hold of people in their library, research, and marketing, but they were busy, of course. Oldest? It's Relative. I’m really impressed by the idea of being the world's longest-operating specialist hospital. I was trying to get some perspective on that, so I looked up the oldest continuously operating hospitals, and here’s what I learned. I learned that in the United States, the oldest continuously operating hospital is Bellevue Hospital in New York City, which opened in 1736 as a six-bed infirmary.[1] So, it began as a haven for the indigent and is still a major public hospital on the East Side of Manhattan. It opened nine years before Mosse opened his first lying-in hospital. The other long-running hospital is the Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia[2], established in 1751 by Benjamin Franklin and Dr. Thomas Bond. It’s still operational as part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The oldest hospital is the Hôtel-Dieu in Paris[3], which officially opened in 650 AD, and that’s the hospital where Mosse became a midwife. There’s St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, founded in 1123[4]. And there’s the Hospital de Jesús Nazareno in Mexico City, opened in 1524. But really, the Rotunda is the oldest maternity-only specialist hospital, continuously operating in the world, which is a more specific and arguably more impressive claim than the general acute care hospitals Bellevue and Hôtel-Dieu, which have both moved buildings, changed missions, and been rebuilt. The Rotunda has been delivering babies in the same building since December 8th, 1757. That’s really something. Reflection: Nightingale Was Here Too So, let’s bring this back to Nurses Day and to Florence Nightingale. Interestingly, Sara E. Hampson was one of the original Nightingale nurses and the first lady superintendent of the Rotunda Hospital in 1891. So yay, nursing. Yay, history. I’m really looking forward to exploring more of this amazing hospital in Dublin. I wonder who was in charge all these years, and how it survived past Mosse and through those first decade or first few years? And then, how did the Rotunda Hospital survive war, famine, pandemics, and technological change? What research occurred there? Is there a diaspora of Rotunda alumni? Anyway, more to come. Thanks.

What is it like to create a Shakespeare play that's never been written—and will never be performed again? The Improvised Shakespeare Company is a long-running ensemble that performs entirely unscripted plays in the style of Shakespeare. Founded in Chicago in 2005, the company has spent two decades building a devoted following through performances in the United States and internationally. In this episode, Blaine Swen, the company's founder, and Ross Bryant discuss how their performances take shape in real time, beginning with a single audience-suggested title and unfolding into a full-length play that will never be repeated. Drawing on techniques from long-form improvisation and a deep familiarity with Shakespeare's language, structure, and themes, the ensemble creates stories that balance poetry, comedy, spontaneity, and lots of fun. They reflect on what makes Shakespeare particularly well-suited to improv, from his larger-than-life characters and emotional intensity to the flexibility of his language and cultural references. They also explore the mechanics of their process—how they listen, build on each other's ideas, and embrace mistakes as opportunities—and why committing fully to the moment often leads to the most surprising and meaningful results.

On the Contacts Coaching podcast, longtime Jesuit High School (Sacramento) history teacher and cross country coach Walt Lange recounts how getting cut from freshman baseball led him to running, being recruited by UCLA, and then coaching after training on his own at Loyola University of Los Angeles. He describes early coaching at St. Bernard's near Playa del Rey, a move to Sacramento (including a brief stint as a stockbroker), and joining Jesuit in 1970, where he has coached cross country for 56 years and previously served about 20 years as head track coach. Lang credits assistant coaches, the American River Parkway training environment, and tools like Strava, and explains how Jesuit uses VDOT-based training groups and recognition to scale workouts for all levels. He discusses shifts from high-mileage eras to modern threshold/tempo approaches, the role of confidence and health, Tahoe summer camp, and balancing multi-sport participation, ending with the importance of an understanding spouse.00:00 Meet Coach Walt Lange00:41 From Baseball Cut to Runner02:14 College Running and Early Coaching05:54 Move to Jesuit and Early Success09:16 56 Years of Coaching Longevity10:09 Assistant Coaches and Team Roles14:30 Strava and the Internet Era18:28 VDOT Groups and Recognition20:50 Tahoe Camp and Team Size25:54 Coaching Every Ability Level28:52 Hundred Mile Weeks30:58 Tempo Training Explained33:09 Threshold Versus Intervals35:13 Cross Country Confidence39:05 Motivating Young Runners42:41 Year Round Training49:25 Blueprint And Sundays51:33 Late Bloomers Story54:32 Coaching Wisdom Finalehttps://sites.google.com/view/jesuitdistance/homehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRPvxaGrR4gIcFaBXAZRwjw1eCiHUFYFMDL-grwavt0zlKXGmhhpM4yPLS9ScarhskXS3apXk3VmEEI/pubhttps://www.youtube.com/JesuitTrackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCVnMvq3nx8&list=PLKYXiqAHWASjAZyQlIUBUq7JVd0QYU-FL

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, host of the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Charlie and Greg break down misleading Daily Mail reporting fueling conspiracy theories about the Charlie Kirk murder case, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasting media silence on a high-profile crime committed by an illegal alien, and backlash from The View over comments encouraging young women to get married and have kids.First, they dismantle a Daily Mail report highlighting a defense motion in the Charlie Kirk murder case that's being framed as a bombshell revelation. Charlie explains why the filing is a routine legal strategy and not evidence supporting conspiracy theories promoted by figures like Candace Owens.They also praise Karoline Leavitt for calling out major broadcast networks for giving minimal coverage to the murder of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman by an illegal alien. Charlie and Greg examine the media's reluctance to spotlight crimes involving illegal immigrants and the left's pattern of protecting violent criminal illegals from deportation.Next, they dig into why the women on The View would be so horrified that a speaker at last week's CPAC encouraged young women to prioritize marriage and having children while they are young. Charlie also points out the policy ignorance on display in the reaction on The View. Finally, in today's chaser, they react to the bizarre story of twelve tons of KitKat products stolen in Europe.

(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump says a Loyola University student would still be alive if Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker asked his administration to help stop crime. The president spoke at a Cabinet meeting Thursday morning. “It would be great if people like the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois would say, ‘Please come in and stop the crime,'” Trump said. Trump referred to 18-year-old Loyola student Sheridan Gorman, who was allegedly shot and killed by a Venezuelan migrant Thursday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“Healthy people don't need a doctor. Sick people do.” We start there, with Luke 5, because that single line exposes a conflict that keeps showing up in our lives and in our country: the difference between people who admit sin and repent, and people who insist they are already righteous.From that foundation, we pray for real needs, not abstract ones: for marriages to be strengthened, for parents to have wisdom and courage, for perseverance in hard times, and for protection over military, law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS. Then we pivot into Genesis 9 and the command to be fruitful and multiply, using today's fertility rate decline and replacement-rate math to ask a blunt question about the future of America and Western civilization. If we want renewal, we cannot outsource it. We build it in the home, by raising children in faith and treating kids as a blessing, not a burden.We also read deeper into Luke 5, including the “new wine in old wineskins” teaching and the Sabbath confrontations that reveal how quickly religion can become performance without mercy. Psalm 66 and Proverbs 11 bring it back to worship, confession, and generosity. The conversation then widens into culture and history: a case out of the UK, an argument about assimilation and immigration, a Medal of Honor story, and a President McKinley quote on why good Christian character still matters.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#SheridanGorman#PresidentMcKinley #DailyScripture Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2

Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old college student at Loyola University in Chicago, was shot dead by an illegal alien. The networks hate reporting on crime committed by illegal immigrants. They would insist it's atypical, and it seems too racist and pro-Trump to cover. News loses to narrative, and that narrative is Trump is ruining everything.

The world is changing...and it's also lost it's mind! SIMON talks to JOHN FERGUSON from Saxon Aerospace (saxonunmanned.com) about how drones are changing the way wars are fought, won and strategized. Then, he talks about the heartbreaking news that there is another name being added to the growing list of Angel Families, this time it's because of the murder of a young woman who was a student at Loyola University. As if that wasn't horrible enough, now the student newspaper at her school has apologized...NOT TO HER OR ABOUT HER MURDER....they have apologized TO HER MURDERER FOR CALLING HIM ILLEGAL!! Just when you think you've heard it all, something happens in Chicago.

Megyn Kelly discusses the shocking killing of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, a Chicago alderwoman's disturbing comments calling it a case of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time,” her continued lies even after her apology, Governor JB Pritzker's attempt to blame the killing of Sheridan Gorman on Donald Trump, his “depraved moral character,” why she believes Tyler Robinson definitely assassinated Charlie Kirk but more investigation is still needed, the controversy over Joe Kent's commentary about the investigation, why it won't have an impact on Tyler Robinson's trial, and more. Then Curt Mills, executive director of "The American Conservative," joins to discuss the latest developments in the war in Iran, what U.S. leaders should do moving forward, the GOP's tough spot in 2026, polling on the Iran war and the economy, the important role that independents will play, the attempt to smear dissenters of the Iran war as antisemites, and more.

In this hard-hitting episode of What's On Your Mind, hosts navigate the complex landscape of current American foreign and domestic policy. The conversation centers on the "Trump Doctrine" in Iran, where the administration's aggressive stance is debated alongside former Ambassador Francis Rooney. From the strategic implications of missile threats to the moral arguments of "Just War" theory, the team breaks down what it means to "cut the head off the snake." The dialogue shifts back home to address the tragic human cost of current border policies, highlighted by the senseless murder of a college freshman in Chicago. The hosts also explore the immediate impact of deploying ICE agents to major airports to combat TSA delays and provide a preview of an upcoming event focused on helping parents navigate "woke" culture in modern cities. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:00:12] – Cutting the Head off the Snake The hosts discuss the effectiveness of current military excursions in Iran, arguing that the U.S. has successfully decimated the regime's ability to threaten its neighbors while questioning the "rooting for failure" narrative they see in the media. [00:02:40] – The Diego Garcia Missile Test A deep dive into the 4,000-kilometer missile test that landed near a joint U.S.-British base. The team debates the proximity of Iran to obtaining Chinese technology capable of taking out aircraft carriers. [00:03:30] – ICE at the Airport: A Surprising Success While some politicians object to the use of ICE agents at TSA checkpoints, the hosts highlight reports of wait times dropping from five hours to normal levels in just one day, calling it a "brilliant" tactical move. [00:08:35] – The Tragedy of Sheridan Gorman The show takes a somber turn to discuss the murder of an 18-year-old Loyola University freshman in Chicago, allegedly by an illegal immigrant previously released by the administration. The hosts critique Governor Pritzker's response to the tragedy.

Mysterious drones are hovering over America’s most sensitive military sites and no one in Washington seems willing to give you a straight answer. Today on Stinchfield, we dig into alarming reports out of Barksdale Air Force Base, home to our B-52 bombers, where highly advanced drones have been spotted in restricted airspace. These are not hobbyists. These are sophisticated, coordinated, and potentially hostile. So the obvious question is this. Why are they still flying? Why hasn’t the military taken them down? And who is behind them? At one point the threat was so serious that personnel at Barksdale were ordered to shelter in place. That alone should send chills down your spine. If the Pentagon knows what these are, they are not telling you. If they do not know, that may be even worse. We also break down the Air Canada crash at LaGuardia, where the focus is now shifting toward the air traffic controller. Was this human error, system failure, or something deeper inside an aviation system already under strain? And then, the story the media does not want to touch. The brutal murder of a Loyola University student allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien. The reaction from Democrats is not just weak, it is disgraceful. Silence, deflection, and excuses while American families are left shattered. This is about national security, accountability, and the truth they hope you never demand.

A pilot and co-pilot died after an Air Canada Express plane collided with a fire-and-rescue vehicle on LaGuardia Airport's runway Sunday night in New York City. Here's the latest on the accident and what we know so far. Prosecutors say Jose Medina, who is accused of killing a Loyola University student, missed his first court appearance Monday because he has been hospitalized and is undergoing treatment for tuberculosis. Medina is facing several charges in the fatal shooting, including first-degree murder. DHS says the alleged shooter is a Venezuelan man living in the U.S. illegally. Dayton Webber, a quadruple amputee known as one of the top professional cornhole players in the U.S., is facing a series of charges including first-degree murder. Shanelle Kaul reports on the case against Webber. Actor Amanda Peet says she was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer last year. In an essay for The New Yorker, the 54-year-old reveals it happened while both of her parents were in hospice care on opposite coasts.
