Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Continuing Church of God 64 AI-Made Viruses, the Fourth Horseman, and a Coming Mark of the Beast with Dr. Bob Thiel Dr. Bob Thiel joins host Steve Dupuis to trace reports of AI-engineered viruses and rogue artificial intelligence back to Bible prophecies of pestilence, the fourth horseman of Revelation, and a coming digital mark of the beast. AI's Biological Threat Emerges Steve Dupuis opens the Bible News Prophecy program by asking Dr. Bob Thiel whether artificial intelligence poses real risks to people today. Thiel points to a headline he saw the day before, "AI's Greatest Threat is Biological," which describes an Anthropic researcher who resigned after concluding there is roughly a ten percent chance AI could wipe out humanity within three to ten years, an estimate he says others in the field share. Thiel explains the article's greatest alarm is not runaway machines but biological warfare and synthetic biology, warning that artificial intelligence could eventually help produce a virus lethal to people whether they are vaccinated or not. Dupuis presses further, asking how close AI actually is to creating a genuine bioweapon risk, setting up Thiel's account of a specific study that turned that abstract worry into a documented, unsettling result. Stanford's AI-Made Viruses Thiel tells Dupuis that last month a report described artificial intelligence creating sixteen new viruses that never existed in nature, after the system learned patterns from nine trillion nucleotides in research associated with Stanford University. He explains that scientists have synthesized viruses for decades to study disease and pursue medical advances, but artificial intelligence now lets them generate viral genomes unlike anything found in nature. Thiel reads a line from the researchers themselves, that the ability to compose viral genomes using generative AI now exists while the governance to safely steer it does not. Dupuis asks whether this research is simply a hopeful step toward medical progress, and Thiel answers cautiously, recalling that COVID is presumed by some to have come from a lab pursuing similarly well-intentioned work. He warns that a rogue AI program could misuse such techniques, adding that turning biological agents into weapons has never been difficult for determined nations, the United States included, despite official denials of biological weapons programs. Prophecies Of Pestilence And The Pale Horse Thiel turns to scripture, citing Jesus's words in Matthew 24:7-8 that famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places mark the beginning of sorrows. He argues that biological warfare agents, whether engineered by AI or developed by humans alone, could easily be a factor in that prophesied pestilence. Thiel then reads from Revelation chapter six, where the fourth seal opens and a pale horse appears, its rider named Death, with Hades following behind and given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, by hunger, by death, and by the beasts of the earth. He notes that pestilence naturally falls under that last category. Dupuis asks directly whether AI-developed pathogens could be part of the pestilences riding with that fourth horseman, and Thiel answers without hesitation that they absolutely could, tying the ancient apocalyptic image to the modern headlines about synthetic viruses and rogue programs discussed earlier in the conversation. Raymond McNair's Doomsday Bug Thiel widens the discussion by reading from a 1969 article by the late Church of God evangelist Raymond McNair, titled The Doomsday Bug, which described a feverish international search for germs and chemicals capable of wiping out whole nations overnight. He recounts McNair's visit to a chemical and biological warfare laboratory and his survey of history, noting that people have used such weapons against enemies for thousands of years, from poisoning rulers' food and water supplies and using poisoned arrows in battle to catapulting corpses of plague victims over the walls of besieged cities. Thiel adds McNair's account of early American settlers trading plague-infected blankets to Native Americans on the frontier, calling it evidence of what he describes as humanity's virtually limitless inventive genius for destructive weapons of warfare. Dupuis listens as Thiel stresses that none of this diabolical history required artificial intelligence, underscoring that the danger long predates today's technology and only grows sharper with it. Plagues, Crop Warfare, And Historical Scale Asked about the magnitude of past viruses and plagues, Thiel cites the Black Death, the bubonic plague that wiped out roughly a third of Europe, with three-quarters dead in some regions, and cites a Cold War-era claim that a single gram of Q fever-inoculated chicken embryo could infect more than a million people. He adds that twenty million people died of flu at the close of World War I, with about fifty times that number falling ill. Thiel then describes chemical and biological warfare aimed at economies rather than armies, recalling that the highest US civilian award once given went to a woman who developed a deadly rice blast fungus usable against rice-dependent nations, while Russian scientists developed a wheat rust capable of striking American crops. He argues scientists bear real responsibility for developing microbes that could unleash horrifying epidemics, then cites Jesus's warning in Matthew 24:21 of a coming great tribulation unlike any before or after it. Digital Wallets And The Coming Mark Thiel turns to a second AI risk beyond pestilence, warning that AI programs may increasingly break into financial systems and drain accounts as world commerce grows more digital. He predicts a European leader could respond by proposing a biometric system to guard against such AI-driven economic disasters, noting that all twenty-seven European Union nations must offer residents a digital wallet holding identification and driver's license information on their phones by the end of 2026. Thiel suggests that system may prove insufficient, speculating that a future leader could push a more secure mark involving the right hand or forehead for safer buying and selling. He reads Revelation 13:15-18, describing the image of the beast compelling everyone, small and great, rich and poor, to receive a mark permitting commerce, numbered 666, then cites 1 Thessalonians 5:3's warning that sudden destruction follows cries of peace and safety. He closes citing Revelation 16:2's warning against taking the mark, before Dupuis thanks him and points listeners to biblenewsprophecy.net.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kim McNair. Summary of the Kim McNair Interview with Rushion McDonald An entrepreneur, business strategist, author, and founder of the Women on the Move Summit. The discussion centers on entrepreneurship, overcoming adversity, women's leadership, personal branding, networking, resilience, and the principles behind her book Knowledge, Money, Power. Drawing from her journey from model to business owner, Dr. McNair shares how she built a successful business with just $500, overcame challenges related to colorism and self-confidence, and dedicated her career to helping women advance in business and leadership. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight Dr. McNair's entrepreneurial journey. Discuss the importance of mentorship, leadership, and networking. Explore how women, particularly Black women, can navigate business challenges. Introduce the concepts from her book Knowledge, Money, Power. Inspire aspiring entrepreneurs to recognize the value of their skills and experiences. Encourage business professionals to turn knowledge into opportunity and financial success. Key Takeaways 1. Knowledge Is the Foundation of Success One of the central themes of the interview is that knowledge is an individual's most valuable asset. Dr. McNair argues that: Skills and experience are forms of currency. Many people underestimate the value of what they know. Expertise can be transformed into income, influence, and opportunity. She emphasizes that lasting success starts with learning and applying knowledge effectively. 2. Entrepreneurship Begins with Believing in Yourself Dr. McNair launched her business with only $500 and a vision. Her story demonstrates that: Significant capital is not always required to start. Confidence and determination are often more important than resources. Success comes from taking action despite uncertainty. 3. Mentorship Accelerates Growth Dr. McNair credits key mentors for helping her learn the business world. She notes that: Real-world experience often teaches more than formal education. Learning directly from successful people shortens the path to success. Entrepreneurs should actively seek guidance from people who have already achieved what they want. 4. Resilience Is Essential Throughout the conversation, both McDonald and McNair discuss facing rejection and criticism. Their message is clear: Expect obstacles. Ignore naysayers. Continue moving forward despite setbacks. Treat rejection as part of the process rather than the end of the journey. 5. Your Environment and Exposure Matter Dr. McNair intentionally created the Women on the Move Summit to put aspiring women leaders in direct contact with executives, entrepreneurs, and decision makers. Her philosophy is that: Success often comes through relationships. Access creates opportunity. People grow when they are exposed to those operating at a higher level. 6. Collaboration Beats Competition Rather than encouraging women to compete against one another, McNair promotes: Collaboration Connection Community building She believes meaningful relationships create opportunities that individuals cannot achieve alone. 7. Transform Adversity into Strength Dr. McNair openly discusses being teased as a child because of her dark skin complexion. Instead of allowing that experience to limit her: She developed confidence. She embraced her identity. She used adversity as motivation. She credits her grandmother's encouragement as a key factor in developing self-esteem. 8. Create Value and Opportunity Will Follow A recurring theme is the importance of becoming indispensable. Dr. McNair teaches that people should: Focus on solving problems. Develop expertise. Create value wherever they work. When people recognize your value, opportunities naturally follow. 9. Entrepreneurship Requires Continuous Growth The conversation highlights that success is rarely immediate. The Women on the Move Summit evolved over years through experimentation, learning, and refinement. Entrepreneurs must: Test ideas. Learn from mistakes. Improve continuously. Adapt when necessary. 10. You Are Never Starting Over One of the most empowering messages from the interview is that career changes, layoffs, or business pivots are not starting from zero. Instead: You begin with your accumulated skills. You carry experience forward. Your knowledge remains an asset. Dr. McNair encourages people to see themselves as progressing rather than restarting. Discussion of "Knowledge, Money, Power" The book's framework follows a simple progression: Knowledge The foundation. Education Experience Skills Expertise Relationships Knowledge creates value. Money The vehicle. Money fuels movement and opportunity. Financial resources allow expansion and growth. People must learn to monetize their expertise. Power The outcome. Confidence Influence Leadership Access Decision-making ability According to McNair, knowledge leads to money, and money creates the power to make a broader impact. Memorable Quotes On entrepreneurship "I took $500 and a dream." On helping other women "I want to make sure they don't have to go through the things I went through." On networking "Collaborate, connect, and create." On overcoming criticism "You have to be resilient and continue to move forward." On personal value "Your knowledge is your currency." On attracting opportunity "Your value, your intentionality, and your clarity will attract opportunity." On self-confidence "Stop shrinking in rooms. You were built to lead." On leadership and presence "I'm supposed to be here." On career transitions "You're never starting over. You're starting from experience." On perseverance "Keep making progress." Overall Message The interview delivers a powerful lesson about transforming personal knowledge into business success. Dr. Kim McNair argues that confidence, expertise, intentional networking, and resilience are the true drivers of entrepreneurship. By embracing one's value, seeking mentorship, building meaningful relationships, and refusing to be limited by adversity, individuals can create financial opportunity and ultimately achieve greater influence and impact. At its core, the conversation is about empowering people to recognize that they already possess valuable knowledge and can leverage it to build wealth, leadership, and lasting success. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Henion explains how the documentary came together, why Vince was finally prepared to discuss the most painful moments of his life and how close Texas came to losing its future national championship quarterback when Young left Austin and drove home to Houston. The conversation explores Steve McNair's enormous influence on Vince and the call that convinced him to return to Texas, along with Mack Brown's willingness to adapt his coaching style around his superstar quarterback. Henion also examines Young's difficult relationship with Jeff Fisher, the devastating impact of McNair's death and how a different NFL coach or organization might have completely changed Vince's professional career.

In this deeply personal episode of the Robertson and Easterling Podcast, Craig sits down with his new friend Dr. Obie McNair, to explore a remarkable Mississippi life shaped by race, education, medicine, adversity, and an enduring faith in God. Dr. McNair takes listeners back to his childhood in Jackson and his experience as one of only five black students integrating Hardy Junior High School, where he endured isolation and open racism before continuing his education at Forest Hill High School.  His journey eventually led him to Tougaloo College and then to Tufts University School of Medicine after he was not accepted by the University of Mississippi Medical Center.  He later trained at Emory and Howard University before returning home, becoming Mississippi's first board-certified African American pulmonologist and spending decades caring for patients in underserved communities in Jackson. But this conversation is about more than an extraordinary medical career. In 2019, a seemingly ordinary step out of a cold plunge caused Dr. McNair's femur to break, ultimately revealing stage-four kidney cancer that had spread to his bones. Nearly seven years later, after exhausting multiple treatments, he continues to face cancer with remarkable clarity about life, death, purpose and what matters most. Dr. McNair speaks candidly about mortality, his family, his patients and the faith that now shapes how he sees everything. His message is simple and powerful: life is short, grace is real, and God has been present through every chapter of his story.

Many in Madison woke up to the news today that Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway ordered the removal of the encampment at Baldwin and Willy Street. On today's show, we hold space for the community to respond to this action as well as dispel misunderstandings about protests over the last week and a half. Host Dana Pellebon opens up the phone lines to hear from WORT listeners and then speaks with Myra McNair about how to heal in community.  Pellebon describes competing ways of looking at the situation, from those who view economic disruption as a movement tactic to those who view economic disruption as an attack. She clarifies several rumors, like one circulating that the city was financing the encampment, which it was not. Just like the Occupy movement changed the nation's conversation about wealth, so too can other movements move the needle on justice. One thing people can do is ask, why aren't there spaces for people to get the help they need? Myra McNair discusses how people can maintain their mental and physical health after facing personal and communal trauma. She encourages people to find an activity that brings them peace, whether that's being in nature or engaging in advocacy. In response to police violence, it's hard for people to find healing because responsibility and accountability aren't fully addressed by institutions and entities who cause harm. McNair says we need permanent monuments and memorials for Corey Ruiz and Tony Robinson. At the end of the day, McNair says “we heal in community.” You can reach out to your elected officials with concerns here.  Myra Renee McNair is the founder, owner, and visionary behind Anesis Therapy and host of the podcast Making Progress.
