There are some situations where panic is not an option. In today's episode, Ryan talks with Senator Mark Kelly about what his years as a Navy pilot, test pilot, and NASA astronaut taught him about fear, focus, humility, and staying calm under pressure. They discuss the lessons of spaceflight, the danger of ego in high-stakes moments, Marcus Aurelius' “view from above,” and what real leadership requires in today's world.Senator Mark Kelly is the senior United States Senator from Arizona. Before entering public service, he served as a U.S. Navy combat pilot, test pilot, and captain. He was selected as a NASA astronaut in 1996 and flew four space shuttle missions: STS-108, STS-121, STS-124, and STS-134, commanding the final two. Over the course of his NASA career, he spent more than 54 days in space. After his wife, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was shot in an assassination attempt in 2011, Kelly retired from the Navy and NASA later that year. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2020 in the special election for the seat once held by Senator John McCain, and was reelected to a full term in 2022.

Sen. Mark Kelly isn't just an Arizona name. He's a NASA astronaut, a veteran, a gun rights activist after the assassination attempt on his wife Gabrielle Giffords, and as recent as 2024, a vice presidential option. He's always been a critic of Trump and his allies, but eye-catching fundraising and avoiding questions about his future have politicos wondering if Kelly is interested in the White House for 2028.

Dan discusses the dichotomy of Democrats who served courageously in the military but now hold anti-American views in politics. He highlights Jason Crow, a former Army Ranger, who's now a congressman, and Senator Mark Kelly, a decorated astronaut and war hero, who's sharing classified information with the enemy. Dan questions how these individuals can go from being brave in combat to being cowardly in politics. He also touches on the topic of abortion, the Democratic Party's stance on it, and how it relates to the party's willingness to do whatever it takes to gain power.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dan discusses the disconnect between physical and moral courage, specifically highlighting the cases of Jason Crow and Mark Kelly, two politicians who served heroically in the military but now advocate for policies that undermine national interests. Dan also touches on the recent US Supreme Court decision that allows freight brokers to be sued for negligent hiring, which he believes will save lives. Additionally, he addresses the work of Catholic Charities and the misconception that they support illegal immigration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mary and Andrew recognize it's been a doozy of a week. Starting with the continued fallout from the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision, they focus on how much the 6-3 ruling has opened the floodgates for other states like Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida and Texas to pursue similar redistricting efforts. The Justices even allowed Alabama to move forward with re-drawing their congressional maps, despite prior determinations of intentional racial discrimination in the state. Mary and Andrew juxtapose this new landscape with last week's redistricting decision in Virginia, as Democrats submit an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court on that ruling. In addition, a Fulton County decision came in allowing the Justice Department to hold onto the 2020 ballots seized in the FBI's January raid. Plus, the co-hosts unpack the latest from Trump's retribution efforts as James Comey's criminal trial date is set. But in an uplifting end to a rough week, the pair highlight Senator Mark Kelly's argument before the DC Circuit in his case against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his participation in a video reminding military members of their duty not to obey unlawful orders.

The segment opens with reaction to President Trump's remarks on Iran, where he describes internal divisions between “moderates” and “hardliners” as negotiations continue over a rejected peace proposal. Eric Schmitt argues the situation has been strategically weakened for Iran, pointing to degraded missile capabilities and reduced military leverage, while stressing that the administration's goal remains preventing nuclear weapon development and avoiding a prolonged Middle East war. The discussion shifts into War Powers questions, with Schmitt saying congressional approval is not currently required due to the absence of active hostilities, while emphasizing limited engagement and American public opposition to “forever wars.” He pushes back on Senator Mark Kelly's criticism about U.S. munitions stockpiles, framing it as political posturing and accusing Democrats of reflexively opposing Trump-era decisions. The conversation then moves to domestic politics, where Schmitt highlights a Supreme Court ruling on redistricting and calls for aggressive legal challenges to what he describes as unfair or “racially driven” maps in multiple states, including California and Illinois, arguing that DOJ action could reshape congressional balance after the 2030 census. He predicts Missouri could potentially gain representation under new apportionment trends and frames the broader fight as a national shift toward redistricting fairness. The segment ends with a lighter moment about Schmitt golfing with Bryson DeChambeau alongside Trump, joking about driving distance and competitive play during a pro-am outing.

Hour 4 opens with President Trump's comments on Iran, framing internal divisions within the regime between moderates and hardliners as negotiations continue over a rejected peace proposal. Senator Eric Schmitt argues Iran's military position has been significantly weakened, particularly in missile capability and naval strength, and says the administration's priority remains preventing nuclear weapon development while avoiding a prolonged Middle East conflict. The discussion turns to War Powers authority, with Schmitt stating congressional approval is not currently required due to the absence of active hostilities, while reiterating opposition to long-term foreign entanglements and pushing back on criticism from Senator Mark Kelly regarding U.S. munitions stockpiles. The focus then shifts to domestic politics, where Schmitt supports aggressive legal challenges following a Supreme Court-related redistricting ruling, arguing that states like California and Illinois have used unfair mapping practices and suggesting DOJ intervention could reshape congressional balance after the 2030 census. A lighter exchange follows regarding Schmitt golfing with Bryson DeChambeau and President Trump in a pro-am setting. The hour transitions into a major policy dispute over police funding, highlighting a state-controlled police board counter-suing a city over mandated funding levels. That leads into San Francisco's new police contract, which includes multi-year raises and a $25,000 signing bonus aimed at addressing recruitment shortages amid ongoing crime concerns. The segment contrasts these changes with past defund-the-police efforts and points to continued issues like vehicle break-ins as evidence of strained public safety policy outcomes. The hour closes with a developing local political story involving a St. Louis County Ethics Committee meeting reportedly reviewing County Executive Sam Page over allegations related to holding multiple jobs.

Mark Kelly went on Face the Nation, referenced a classified Pentagon briefing on U.S. munitions, and told the world exactly which weapons systems are depleted — then ran to CNN and denied any of it was classified. Pete Hegseth announced a legal review, Scott Jennings called it "extraordinarily irresponsible," and Kasie Hunt blamed Hegseth for noticing.

Trump ran as the anti-establishment wrecking ball. Two years back in Washington, he is the establishment — and Indiana voters know it. In this episode, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the first real battle in the war for the soul of the Republican Party: Trump-backed challengers eating incumbents in a state Mike Pence used to own, while libertarian-leaning Hoosiers tell canvassers they don't want Washington's thumb on the scale, no matter whose thumb it is. The bigger story sits just outside the frame: 40% of Indiana is independent, locked out of a closed primary, and that's where the real action is for 2026 and 2028. From there, Paul looks two weeks down the road at Thomas Massie — the Kentucky congressman Trump is spending extraordinary political capital trying to destroy over Epstein files, deficit hawkishness, and opposition to a new Iran war. Is there still a place for a Massie or a Don Bacon inside the GOP, or does the independent lane finally crack open? Then Paul takes the case of Senator Mark Kelly to MSNBC: a decorated Navy combat veteran, astronaut, and Armed Services Committee member that Pete Hegseth is trying to demote for reminding troops they can refuse illegal orders. It's a direct attack on free speech for two million military retirees and a chilling signal to every active-duty service member watching. This is what the angry middle is up against — and why staying vigilant isn't optional. -WATCH full video of this episode here.  -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

On today’s episode of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott broadcasts live from Washington, D.C., as Iran rejects key elements of President Trump’s peace proposal, prompting new concerns that the ceasefire may collapse, with retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward joining to discuss the possibility of renewed military action, China’s role in negotiations, and fallout from Senator Mark Kelly discussing sensitive military information on television. Scott also breaks down signs of Republican momentum heading into the 2026 midterms, including strong economic growth, falling violent crime rates, and major redistricting victories that have Democrats openly discussing drastic changes to Virginia’s Supreme Court. Senator Rick Scott joins the program to discuss Cuba policy, FISA, border security, and funding for ICE and CBP, while Scott later reacts to controversial comments from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about billionaires and the American Revolution. In Hour 2, Ryan Thorpe discusses allegations surrounding California funding tied to organizations with extremist links, Nile Gardiner analyzes historic losses for Britain’s Labour Party and the rise of Reform UK, Congressman Darrell Issa talks about efforts to reverse Trump’s impeachments and growing tensions with China, and Scott closes the show recognizing National Police Week with Supporting Heroes Executive Director Eric Johnson. https://www.besthotgrill.com https://freespoke.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 opens with Mother's Day weekend recaps, Marc's concert trip to see legendary guitarists Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, and praise for the Patriot Training Foundation before pivoting into rising tensions with Iran and frustration over climbing gas prices tied to instability around the Strait of Hormuz. Marc argues President Trump was right to reject Iran's latest proposal and predicts stronger military action may ultimately be necessary despite short-term economic pain. The hour then shifts into a fiery cultural and political discussion sparked by Bill Maher criticizing entitlement culture, political rage, and younger Americans embracing victimhood despite modern conveniences. Marc and Kim connect Maher's comments to broader debates over mental health, political extremism, and anti-Trump obsession while also targeting Mark Kelly for comments Marc viewed as undermining military leadership. “Kim on a Whim” dominates the middle of the hour with a deep dive into lingering distrust from the COVID era, criticism of “trust the science” messaging, skepticism toward pharmaceutical companies like Bayer, and frustration over corporate healthcare systems pushing rigid treatment protocols during the pandemic. The hour closes with lighter conversation about fans camping overnight outside Enterprise Center for Bring Me the Horizon tickets, along with complaints about skyrocketing concert prices and changing live music culture. Hashtags: #BillMaher #Trump #Iran #GasPrices #COVID19 #TrustTheScience #Bayer #Healthcare #BringMeTheHorizon #SteveVai #JoeSatriani #Politics #MorningRadio

Hour 2 opens with reaction to fans camping overnight outside Enterprise Center for a concert by Bring Me the Horizon, sparking debate over fan culture, safety downtown, and rising ticket prices for live events. The discussion quickly pivots to international politics, with Marc arguing President Trump holds strategic leverage over Iran and China amid tensions tied to the Strait of Hormuz, and criticizing Iran's rejected proposal as weak bargaining from a collapsing economy. The hour's political focus intensifies with Marc condemning comments from Mark Kelly regarding U.S. munitions, while also highlighting remarks from Erika Kirk at Hillsdale College on family roles. A major segment explores nationwide childcare protests, with Marc arguing “Day Without Childcare” events are politically driven efforts tied to socialist-leaning policy goals, while Kim acknowledges the financial strain childcare places on families. The show then shifts into local St. Louis politics and media, including speculation about broadcaster Steve Savard returning to a larger role at KSDK and ongoing concerns about crime in Dutchtown, where residents are proposing shared security camera networks. The hour concludes with financial reporting from Nicole Murray covering mixed markets, AI-driven stock gains in companies like Alphabet, retail strategy shifts at Target, and broader economic anxiety reflected in “Sunday Scaries” workplace stress trends.

Hour 1 opens with Mother's Day weekend recaps, including a concert featuring Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, before shifting into escalating tensions with Iran tied to the Strait of Hormuz and concerns over rising gas prices. The discussion frames Trump's Iran strategy as necessary toughness while expanding into a broader cultural critique sparked by Bill Maher's comments on entitlement, victimhood, and political anger in modern America. The hour also revisits COVID-era distrust in institutions, criticism of “trust the science” messaging, and skepticism toward pharmaceutical and healthcare systems, before closing on lighter entertainment culture talk around Bring Me the Horizon concerts and rising ticket prices. Hour 2 continues international focus with U.S.–Iran and China leverage discussions, alongside criticism of Mark Kelly's remarks on military readiness. Domestic issues dominate the middle of the hour with childcare protests framed as politically driven debates over family policy, while St. Louis topics include crime concerns, civic tech responses, and speculation around Steve Savard's media role. The hour ends with financial reporting on AI-driven market gains, retail strategy shifts, and broader economic anxiety signals in consumer behavior. Hour 3 pivots into media fear critiques over a reported hantavirus case, then moves into major legal analysis with Hans von Spakovsky on redistricting battles across multiple states and Voting Rights Act interpretations. Cultural politics take center stage with Dan Buck's “Buck Stops Here” music segment featuring Tom McDonald's “Anti,” sparking debate over censorship and political messaging in entertainment. The hour closes with “Kim on a Whim,” focused on proposed federal action revoking passports for individuals with unpaid child support and the tension between enforcement and personal rights. Hour 4 opens with Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway detailing legal battles over control of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Board, kratom enforcement actions, and ongoing election integrity efforts tied to voter roll audits. The conversation shifts into the same passport-child support policy debate before moving into sports with Tom Ackerman, who breaks down a tough Cardinals loss to the Padres, Missouri State's major hire of Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, and a strong weekend for local teams including the Battlehawks. The show closes with political commentary arguing Democrats are positioning to reverse Trump-era policies while downplaying economic developments like the Granite City Steel reopening and broader manufacturing gains.

The Ringmaster James T. is taking some time off but never fear, Chris Krok is here. Well, well, well, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly is at it again opening his big mouth, this time he may have revealed top secrets in his rant against War Secretary Hegseth, and Hegseth isn't taking this lightly. Remember when parks used to be a family space where kids could play, get fresh air, walk the dogs? Well, in liberal cities, like Tucson, that is no longer the case. Parks in blue cities have become home for the homeless with "free" food, healthcare, cellphones, and now even mobile showers, all on the government (your) dime. Plus, Nanos has many questions to answer about his past, his present, and the Guthrie case, and if he can't answer these questions then his future as Pima County Sheriff may come to an early end. The liberal local media is outright running anti Trump news stories and Krok brings the receipts, and much more on your Conservative Circus Show.

Americans on that cruise ship with a hantavirus outbreak are now back in the US. They will soon head to a quarantine center in Nebraska. So how do we know if they're carrying the virus? ... Pete Hegseth is going after Mark Kelly again, suggesting the senator revealed too much from a classified briefing ... The president says Iran's response to the latest US proposal is unacceptable. So does this mean more talking in the days ahead or more war?    Learn more about your ad choices.

The Iranian government finally countered President Trump's demands to stop the conflict and get life in the Middle East back running. After days of waiting, Iran responded in a way that is TOTALLY unacceptable to the U.S.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth went head-to-head with Senator Mark Kelly, publicly revealing the contents of a classified hearing on a Sunday news show, in violation of federal law. What will the fallout be for Kelly's actions?We catch you up to the latest responses, actions, and plans that have been revealed for the "next step" for the action with and in Iran. If you are wondering about the price of gasoline and its immediate future, you'll hear an expert on the matter explain with facts!

This week on Face the Nation, global energy markets remain tied in knots by the conflict with Iran as ships in the Strait of Hormuz remain at a standstill. As the administration awaits a response to the latest U.S. offer to end the war with Iran, President Trump attended a golf tournament at his golf club in Virginia Saturday, and last week settled on a new label for the military conflict, which has persisted despite a previous declaration that the war had been "terminated". With critical energy trade routes through the Strait of Hormuz still near-frozen, gas prices continue their march toward higher, we ask Energy Secretary Chris Wright what the plan is going forward. We also hear from Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, and we have a preview of an interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Then, Democrats are dealt a stinging defeat in the latest round of redistricting whiplash. We ask the vice chairman of the House Democratic caucus, California Congressman Ted Lieu, whether his party can still retake the chamber in November's elections. Plus, passengers from the Hantavirus-infected cruise ship have disembarked off the coast of Africa this morning. We get the latest from former FDA Commissioner Doctor Scott Gottlieb. Finally, on this Mother's Day weekend, we check in with Janti Soeripto, the president and CEO of Save the Children U.S., on the push to provide humanitarian assistance to children in need worldwide.

Mark Kelly, Staff Threat Researcher at Proofpoint, is discussing their work on "I'd come running back to EU again: TA416 resumes European government espionage campaigns." China-linked threat group TA416 has resumed large-scale phishing and malware campaigns targeting European governments, diplomatic missions tied to the EU and NATO, and more recently Middle Eastern entities following the outbreak of conflict in Iran. The group has continually evolved its tactics between mid-2025 and early 2026, using techniques like fake Cloudflare verification pages, Microsoft OAuth redirect abuse, and malicious C# project files to deliver customized PlugX malware through spearphishing campaigns. Researchers say the renewed activity reflects shifting geopolitical priorities tied to EU-China tensions, the Russia-Ukraine war, and instability in the Middle East, while highlighting TA416's ongoing focus on intelligence gathering against diplomatic networks.

Deal Team Six?? Pentagon Releases UFO/UAP Files. Antisemitic Firebomber Gets Life. Stupid Tariffs Ruled Illegal. Dems Slammed in VA. Charlemagne vs Dana White. Bigfoot in Ohio. WNBA Season Begins. Happy Mother's Day!   The truce isn't a truce. The U.S. Navy is firing on Iranian-flagged oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, gas is climbing toward five bucks a gallon in Ohio, and Trump is on record saying he's fine with $200-a-barrel oil — as long as the war grinds on. Meanwhile, the administration is hauling Senator Mark Kelly back into court to silence a decorated Navy combat veteran and astronaut, sending a clear message to two million military retirees and every troop in uniform: shut up and fall in line. Paul Rieckhoff delivers a solo Friday briefing on what the MAGA machine is actually doing while you're trying to plan Mother's Day brunch. From the Pentagon's convenient new tranche of UFO files dropping the same week the Epstein files pressure builds, to Don Jr. and Eric landing Air Force drone contracts through their American Venture firm, to a Virginia court torching the Democrats' redistricting gambit — this episode lays out how the rigged two-party system keeps failing the angry middle. Paul also gets into Dana White's bogus apolitical act, Olivia Pichardo making NCAA D1 baseball history, and why the spirit of America's mothers — perseverance, humility, and the golden rule — is exactly the operating system this country needs right now.  -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Check out Tracy Bonham and Steady Buckets for Something Good. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

 Redistricting Mania and the Christian Nationalist Push for Minority Rule Brad Onishi and Dan Miller discuss the fallout from a recent Supreme Court decision they say further rolled back the Voting Rights Act, triggering aggressive redistricting across states like Louisiana, Florida, Indiana, Virginia, Texas, and Tennessee, including carving up Memphis's Black-majority district. They highlight Christian nationalist rhetoric from figures such as Kevin Roberts, Indiana Lt. Gov. Brian Beckwith, and Rep. Andy Ogles, and critique Mike Johnson's repeated “adults in the room” framing as coded defense of white Christian male authority. They trace continuity to Religious Right strategist Paul Weyrich's explicit anti-democratic voting strategy and argue the Court's anti-discrimination logic now enables open discrimination while accelerating polarization and democratic erosion. They note a sharp Jackson–Alito exchange over partisan timing, call for reforms like anti-gerrymandering measures and term limits, and cite hope in Mark Kelly's legal challenge to the Pentagon.

Nicolle Wallace covers the feud between Senator Mark Kelly and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Senator Kelly was part of a video where he told men and women of the military that they are allowed to ignore illegal orders. Hegseth has since moved to censure Kelly, a move that would strip Kelly of rank and pay. Later, Nicolle covers Marco Rubio's journey to the Vatican to meet Pope Leo. His visit comes after Trump relentlessly attacked the Pope for advising the American people to be against the war in Iran.

What if one subtle collapse in your lower body is quietly driving most of your pain, stiffness, and "mystery" injuries? In this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, Steven Sashen speaks with Dr. Mike Wasilisin, Founder and CEO of MoveU, who breaks down why most pain and injuries trace back to a few predictable misalignment patterns. After running a sports injury clinic and later selling it to build MoveU, he now teaches movement and alignment methods for everyday people and also teaches in chiropractic and PT education settings. In this episode, Mike explains valgus collapse, hip and spinal compensation, scapular position, and why minimalist footwear and better body awareness can help you move with greater durability and less inflammation. Key Takeaways: → Valgus collapse, where the knee caves inward, contributes to issues ranging from foot pain to knee and hip problems. → Foot position matters, and toes turned outward often reinforce poor knee tracking over time. → Misalignment shifts the load to the arch and soft tissues instead of distributing the force properly. → Hip drop from poor alignment can lead to compensations and increased back stress. → Posture determines stress distribution, with hyperextension loading joints and flattening loading discs.  Dr. Mike Wasilisin's journey in healthcare and fitness began in 2000 at a chiropractic rehab clinic while he was earning a Psychology degree from Kent State, which he completed in 2004. In 2009, he earned his doctorate in chiropractic from Palmer College, specializing in body mechanics, strength training, pain psychology, and soft-tissue therapy using TPI, ART, FMS, and SFMA. From 2009 to 2017, he built a thriving private practice in San Diego and began teaching Kinesiology at California State University while running CaliSpine, a clinic specializing in low-back pain rehabilitation. After a viral quadratus lumborum video reached 4 million views in 2015, he committed to going fully online, frustrated by the limitations of traditional healthcare. That led to the creation of MoveU in 2016, a movement that helps people take control of their bodies through structured programs free from insurance red tape. Now, with over 3 million social media followers and more than 150,000 people having gone through MoveU programs, the impact continues to grow. Featured in Men's Health, CBS, and Live with Mark & Kelly, Dr. Mike's mission is clear—helping people stop treating pain as an emergency and start recognizing it as a lifestyle issue that can be addressed through awareness, movement, and a long-term plan.
