    8/14/26 - Mark Levin: The Woke Reich Isolationists Are Undermining Trump!

    On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the pseudo-conservative, Woke Reich isolationist, and national-conservative voices are undermining the president, abandoning traditional Reaganite principles, and pushing for greater government intervention.  We have an alarming near-$50 trillion on-budget debt (with true obligations including Social Security, Medicare, and pensions closer to $300–350 trillion against an economy producing only about $20 trillion annually). Such demands for more government play into Democrats' hands, and principles are needed most when confronting economic and security threats. The proper path is growth and wealth creation through freer markets, competition, and smarter regulation rather than new programs; critics should present concrete plans if they have any. Election success ultimately depends on doing what is necessary, such as the president's decisive action to prevent the Iranian regime from obtaining nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles which deserves immediate credit. Later, the Vice President has argued that free-market advocates should stop invoking the market system and instead develop a plan to help younger people avoid socialism. Traditional Reaganite and Friedman-style conservatives who back the President's tax and regulatory policies are questioning these remarks. With nearly a $50 trillion on-budget debt the real problem is too much government, not more of it, and that debate belongs in the primaries.  Finally, Michele Tafoya, Minnesota Senate candidate, calls in and argues that Minnesota has been racing in the wrong direction under single-party Democrat rule, with Peggy Flanagan serving as lieutenant governor under Tim Walz for two terms during which the state became a national embarrassment. Drawing on her experience as an early WNBA play-by-play announcer who watched the league grow through women's pure skill and athleticism, she criticized the idea that biological men should compete in women's sports, noting that exclusion is fundamental to athletics and that giving roster spots to biological males simply excludes actual women in an absurd, Alice-in-Wonderland distortion.

    8/12/26 - Mark Levin: Democrats Are Radical Socialists—They Just Won't Admit It

    Mark Levin Podcast

    On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the difference between the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America is not significant—the DSA is the logical extension of the Democrat Party, which has birthed it and remains sympathetic to its core aims; most Democrats are comfortable with DSA figures in Congress, state legislatures, and governorships. This agenda of fundamentally altering constitutional structure and the economic system has defined the party since Woodrow Wilson, even if Democrats refuse the labels communist or Marxist and prefer softer rhetoric. Later, more billionaires would benefit the country because they create and spread enormous wealth rather than hoarding it, with capitalism redistributing prosperity through markets and supply-demand rather than failed top-down control driven by non-economic motives. More billionaires mean more capital, investment, jobs, incomes, pensions, medical care, and tax revenue; this is why Gov Ron DeSantis invites them to Florida to fuel construction, load banks with cash that is then lent out, and circulate money through the economy. Critics fail to grasp this due to jealousy, fearmongering, and preference for centralized power, yet the more billionaires exist, the more wealth and jobs are generated for more people, as even non-business wealth gets invested in banks, stocks, loans, and enterprises that support small businesses and employment. Afterward, ignoring Hayek, Friedman, Sowell, free-market economics, and individual liberty amounts to becoming Democrat Party light. True common good rests solely on the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Enlightenment, with no connection to economic intervention; the intellectual foundation remains figures like Buckley, de Tocqueville, Adam Smith, Burke, and Locke, not online or TikTok content. Finally, the federal budget deficit is on track to surpass $2 trillion this fiscal year as spending outpaces revenue. Tax revenues increase by $139 billion, but spending increased by $308 billion. Increased spending driven by entitlement programs: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, in addition to servicing the national debt. Even with a 5-8% increase in revenue, the government can't stop spending money. And Democrats complain we're not spending enough! Democrats would destroy private health insurance and Medicare would collapse. The worry: economic turmoil leads to social turmoil. Learn more about your ad choices.

    It feels like we're stuck in an endless debate about what AI is going to mean for jobs and the economy. The prediction you hear from the people closest to the technology — both its critics and its boosters — is that mass automation is coming, and with it mass unemployment. In response, some AI CEOs are promising a post-labor Golden Age of abundance and universal high income. But you also hear from some techno-optimists and economists that AI will create more jobs than it destroys and that society's fears are unjustified. When these arguments are traded back and forth, no one can know what's actually true, and nothing happens. And caught in the middle of this debate are actual workers trying to figure out what this means for their family and themselves, or whether their kids should go to college. And as long as that debate stays alive, nobody plans or takes action ahead of what's coming. So this week on Your Undivided Attention, rather than continuing to referee this debate, we follow the incentives and show you where they're actually taking us in the very near future. Our guest, economist Molly Kinder, argues that we're entering what she calls the “messy middle”: a period of concentrated and uneven workforce disruption. She has evidence-based arguments about where, specifically, AI will affect the labor force, what the second and third-order consequences of those effects might be, and what we need to do today to protect people's livelihoods. Molly recently left her position as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution to become the founding CEO of a new organization dedicated to addressing AI's impact on jobs. Her Substack, Kinder Futures: Dispatches on AI, Work & What Comes Next, features some of the clearest-eyed analysis of AI's impact on the economy.RECOMMENDED MEDIA Kinder Futures: Dispatches on AI, Work & What Comes Next (Molly's Substack) Molly's blog posts at Brookings The Yale Budget Lab's AI Labor Market Tracker RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES AI and the Future of Work: What You Need to Know Is AI Productivity Worth Our Humanity? with Prof. Michael Sandel AI and Jobs: How to Make AI Work With Us, Not Against Us with Daron Acemoglu   Corrections Molly incorrectly referred to cuts to “Medicare for the neediest populations.” The cuts she describes are to Medicaid.

    Sen. Ron Johnson obtained Dr. Fauci's cell phone and text messages from the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. He says it contains bombshell revelations about Fauci's concerns of how the 2nd vaccine dose “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester” at the same time Fauci was publicly insisting that the vaccine was safe and effective for pregnant women. “The phone contains more than 34,000 text messages and 522 voicemails,” says Sen. Johnson. “The text chain released today could have an immediate impact of public health and the principle of informed consent.” However, many experts are hesitant to call this a smoking gun. “The Fauci phone may have big revelations. This isn't one,” says Alex Berenson. “They're talking about a theoretical risk to monitor. Big studies show mRNA jabs do not cause miscarriage.” Were these simply routine, internal debates among health officials – or should Fauci, Rochelle Walensky, and Vivek Murthy have warned the public? Retired pharma R&D executive Sasha Latypova says “mRNA jabs cause 430% increase in miscarriage rates vs. normal background” and has cosigned a letter demanding RFK's resignation.

    #NEZNATION LIVE: Personal Branding 101

    The WNBA controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham, DiJonai Carrington and Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White is exploding all over again — and now Stephen A. Smith has entered the conversation.After Carrington was ejected following a hard foul on Cunningham, White said she did not clearly see the play in real time before going to her postgame press conference. After reviewing the replay, White later described the play as “egregious.”But images circulating online have fueled even more questions about White's explanation — and the backlash became so intense that sections of the Indiana Fever's own HOME crowd booed their head coach.Then things got even stranger.White delivered an emotional defense of her players, talking about unity, love, grace and humility — before finishing with a message to her critics that “everybody else can go to hell.”Now Stephen A. Smith is asking the question millions of people watching this controversy have been wondering:How does the head coach not see what happened to her own player?We're breaking down the footage, the reaction, the boos, the contradictions, and why this latest controversy has become another massive headache for the WNBA.And what do you think Fever fans were REALLY saying when they booed their own coach?SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications for more breaking news, cultural commentary and stories the mainstream conversation can't stop talking about.For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/

    Chuck Todd unpacks David Crowley's astonishing photo-finish win over Francesca Hong in Wisconsin — a race Crowley dropped out of, re-entered with Tony Evers' backing, and then won by roughly 3,200 votes — and argues national Democrats are far more relieved than they'll ever admit. Had Hong won, she'd have become a face of the party while being forced to spend the fall answering for past statements about defunding police, abolishing prisons, and canceling Thanksgiving rather than talking about the economy, handing Republicans an absurdly easy story to tell. Chuck credits Tony Evers for refusing to fence-sit and mounting what amounted to an emergency rescue operation, while noting Crowley isn't remotely "establishment" — he came from genuinely modest roots and ran a campaign largely defined by what he wasn't. Chuck identifies Hong's central unforced error as nationalizing her race in the closing weeks, a fundraising-driven instinct in an era where media appearances increasingly function as fundraising appeals, forgetting that the national online audience and the local electorate are not the same people. Mamdani stayed disciplined and won; Hong drifted into boutique cultural debates and lost. But Chuck cautions against reading this as a repudiation of the left: Peggy Flanagan won in Minnesota, progressives are doing better this cycle than they have in years, and the 2027 House will be younger and slightly further left. The real structural lesson is that progressives struggle in higher-turnout and open primaries, still face a persistent obstacle with African American primary voters, and — most tellingly — keep getting rejected by the working-class voters they orient their entire message toward, which is more than a messaging glitch. Abdul El-Sayed emerges a quiet winner here, now much harder to lump in with the DSA, and Chuck notes that neither AOC nor Bernie ever endorsed Hong. The rest of the monologue is a run of results that keep pointing the same direction. Trump-endorsed candidates keep losing primaries: Mike Lindell was trounced in Minnesota, Darline Graham didn't clear a third of the vote and is no lock in her runoff, and Chuck's read is that Trump's grip is measurably slipping. Fourteen-term Congressman John Larson lost his primary, part of the highest incumbent-loss rate since 1970 — in a genuine wave, Chuck says, the House could see north of 25% turnover. On Iran, he echoes Chris Christie's warning that this war turns Trump into Jimmy Carter: Iran has issued a list of demands that amounts to an "F you" ransom note, is openly watching the American election calendar and timing its moves accordingly, and — just as in 1980 — the humiliation itself is the point. All of it, Chuck notes, was Trump's own choice. He closes somewhere unexpected: giving Mark Zuckerberg genuine credit. In his 6,500-word manifesto, Zuckerberg argued that the real danger of AI is the concentration of power, writing that hoping an absolute power will benevolently provide for humanity has historically never ended well — and committing Meta to a review process before models go public. Chuck notes the argument is being made by a deeply self-interested party and that the important parts got buried in what was really a debate with Sam Altman, but he singles out one thing worth emulating: Meta funneling data center tax revenue back into teacher bonuses and job training. Communities hosting this infrastructure have to win too, and he hopes more tech CEOs adopt that philosophy. Then, Ben Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair and author of the new book This Is the Plan joins the Chuck Toddcast to argue that Democrats keep making the same category error: they keep winning change elections and then failing to deliver change, because they're trying to fix policy without first fixing the system that determines who gets to make policy. Wikler's framing is memorable and a little cheeky — you have to win the ring of power and then cast it into Mount Doom — but his point is serious. When the right wins power, it immediately restructures the system to entrench itself; Democrats win and then govern as though the rules are fixed. His plan runs through the state level, where free and fair elections are actually secured, and demands ending the filibuster and reforming the Supreme Court, including term limits for justices, because campaign finance reform is impossible without a Court willing to allow it. Wikler argues America is in the greatest period of political instability in its history, that inequality now exceeds the Gilded Age, that gerrymandering has left millions of people without a meaningful vote, and that both party bases increasingly want to fight more than they want to win — while swing and non-voters have simply given up on the system itself. He rejects the tired rebuilders-versus-renovators binary: FDR's Social Security pitch was a huge swing, incrementalism was the only path to Obamacare, and the actual art of politics is starting from values and vision and then figuring out what can pass. The conversation gets specific about Wisconsin and about trust. Wikler pushes back on the idea that Francesca Hong is too "Madison" for a statewide race, notes she's spent years traveling and listening across the state, and calls Tom Tiffany an election denier who is genuinely beatable in a cycle where affordability is the central issue. He and Chuck work through the puzzle of why Tony Evers' calm, steady approach succeeded where Biden's didn't — Evers came out forcefully against Dobbs, and, more fundamentally, you have to convince a majority of voters that government can actually work, which means doing what you said you'd do and then relentlessly telling people you did it. Wikler points to pandemic relief as the cautionary tale: those programs dramatically improved life for lower-income voters, the child tax credit cut child poverty in half, and then it all expired and Democrats got punished for the loss rather than credited for the gain — with an extension that had bipartisan support dying anyway, because the filibuster exists largely to deprive the other side of a win. He credits Ken Martin for investing in state parties, argues Democrats don't need a 50-state strategy so much as fifty different state strategies since the coalition looks different everywhere, and concedes that Trump has been the most successful Republican of this era, spawning an army of mini-mes modeling themselves on him. And yes, Chuck asks the obvious question — why not run for Senate yourself? Finally, Chuck reveals his ToddCast Top 5 list of biggest non-presidential primary upsets, which David Crowley’s win taking the top spot. He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and weighs in on the highly suspicious sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to Jared Kushner’s brother.

    Chuck Todd unpacks David Crowley's astonishing photo-finish win over Francesca Hong in Wisconsin — a race Crowley dropped out of, re-entered with Tony Evers' backing, and then won by roughly 3,200 votes — and argues national Democrats are far more relieved than they'll ever admit. Had Hong won, she'd have become a face of the party while being forced to spend the fall answering for past statements about defunding police, abolishing prisons, and canceling Thanksgiving rather than talking about the economy, handing Republicans an absurdly easy story to tell. Chuck credits Tony Evers for refusing to fence-sit and mounting what amounted to an emergency rescue operation, while noting Crowley isn't remotely "establishment" — he came from genuinely modest roots and ran a campaign largely defined by what he wasn't. Chuck identifies Hong's central unforced error as nationalizing her race in the closing weeks, a fundraising-driven instinct in an era where media appearances increasingly function as fundraising appeals, forgetting that the national online audience and the local electorate are not the same people. Mamdani stayed disciplined and won; Hong drifted into boutique cultural debates and lost. But Chuck cautions against reading this as a repudiation of the left: Peggy Flanagan won in Minnesota, progressives are doing better this cycle than they have in years, and the 2027 House will be younger and slightly further left. The real structural lesson is that progressives struggle in higher-turnout and open primaries, still face a persistent obstacle with African American primary voters, and — most tellingly — keep getting rejected by the working-class voters they orient their entire message toward, which is more than a messaging glitch. Abdul El-Sayed emerges a quiet winner here, now much harder to lump in with the DSA, and Chuck notes that neither AOC nor Bernie ever endorsed Hong. The rest of the monologue is a run of results that keep pointing the same direction. Trump-endorsed candidates keep losing primaries: Mike Lindell was trounced in Minnesota, Darline Graham didn't clear a third of the vote and is no lock in her runoff, and Chuck's read is that Trump's grip is measurably slipping. Fourteen-term Congressman John Larson lost his primary, part of the highest incumbent-loss rate since 1970 — in a genuine wave, Chuck says, the House could see north of 25% turnover. On Iran, he echoes Chris Christie's warning that this war turns Trump into Jimmy Carter: Iran has issued a list of demands that amounts to an "F you" ransom note, is openly watching the American election calendar and timing its moves accordingly, and — just as in 1980 — the humiliation itself is the point. All of it, Chuck notes, was Trump's own choice. He closes somewhere unexpected: giving Mark Zuckerberg genuine credit. In his 6,500-word manifesto, Zuckerberg argued that the real danger of AI is the concentration of power, writing that hoping an absolute power will benevolently provide for humanity has historically never ended well — and committing Meta to a review process before models go public. Chuck notes the argument is being made by a deeply self-interested party and that the important parts got buried in what was really a debate with Sam Altman, but he singles out one thing worth emulating: Meta funneling data center tax revenue back into teacher bonuses and job training. Communities hosting this infrastructure have to win too, and he hopes more tech CEOs adopt that philosophy. Finally, Chuck reveals his ToddCast Top 5 list of biggest non-presidential primary upsets, which David Crowley’s win taking the top spot.

    Some of the most expensive retirement taxes are not new at all—they are old rules that have quietly become more costly over time. Frozen income thresholds, rising home values, Medicare surcharges, and investment taxes can all combine to reduce what retirees actually get to keep. In this episode, Don Cash breaks down several of these stealth taxes and explains how one financial decision can trigger multiple tax consequences at once. The key is looking ahead before those hidden costs show up. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

Colin Gray gave his 14-year-old son an AR-15 for Christmas — and ignored every warning sign along the way. Now he's facing 15 years in prison. Dr. Phil breaks down the Apalachee High School case, and the pathway to violence researchers have identified over decades of study.The warning signs almost every school shooter shows:- Early childhood trauma that goes unresolved- A visible crisis point — a noticeable change in behavior from their baseline- A growing obsession with studying past shooters- Telling someone their plans, almost always a fellow student, before it happens- Access to an unsecured weapon at home- Prior contact with law enforcement that went nowhereDr. Phil walks through what happened in Georgia, what law enforcement already knew, and why these same red flags keep showing up case after case — and keep getting missed. No spin. No BS. Just what every parent needs to know before the next tragedy.Sponsored by: Sponsored by HighLevel: If you own a small business, don't skip this. Reclaim your life.

    The $20 Burrito. Young American Generations Crippled Competing for Every Scarce Resource- Housing, Healthcare, Employment, Food and Even Burritos. Andrew Branca.   The Burrito War: A Battle of Realities & Narratives Who is right in the burrito war that has exploded over social media these last few days? Is it the Boomers who project their own lived experience to urge younger generations to just buckle down, put their nose to the grindstone, pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and everything will eventually be OK? Or is it those younger generations whose own lived experience is an ever-escalating cost of living driven primarily by an invasion of tens of millions of third-worlders competing for every scarce American resource—housing, healthcare, education, employment, infrastructure, food—even burritos!—and EVERYTHING ELSE? The answer is in a sense a dichotomy: They are BOTH right. AND it doesn't POLITICALLY matter.

    Can Medicare for All really save 114,000 lives and more than $1 trillion a year? Nate and Charlie dig into the assumptions behind that claim, from Medicare reimbursement rates to drug pricing, fraud, administrative costs, emergency room use, and higher healthcare utilization. Bernie Sanders shared a study arguing that Medicare for All would dramatically reduce national healthcare spending while saving lives. In this audio-only episode, Nate and Charlie walk through the model and ask what happens when hospitals and clinicians are paid Medicare rates, drug prices are pushed toward international benchmarks, and projected savings depend on assumptions about fraud and emergency care. Key beats: Where the "114,000 lives saved" estimate comes from Why Medicare reimbursement rates drive so much of the projected savings The tradeoffs around drug pricing, innovation, hospital finances, and wait times The trillion-dollar question: who actually pays? The U.S. healthcare system is expensive and heavily distorted. The argument here is whether more government control fixes those problems or compounds them.

    #NEZNATION LIVE: Personal Branding 101

    BREAKING: Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul have begun releasing text messages obtained from Dr. Anthony Fauci's government-issued phone — and one newly released January 2021 conversation is already raising major questions.In a January 25, 2021 exchange involving Fauci, then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Fauci discussed COVID vaccination during pregnancy and raised a theoretical concern that the inflammatory response and fever following the second dose could potentially be associated with miscarriage during the first trimester. Walensky responded that it was “definitely a good point.”The newly released exchange is particularly noteworthy because federal officials subsequently issued public reassurances regarding COVID vaccination during pregnancy. The senators' release points, for example, to a February 3, 2021 Fauci statement saying regulators had found no red flags regarding pregnant women.Johnson and Paul say the government-issued phone contains more than 34,000 texts and 522 voicemails, and that reviewing the material has only begun.In this video, Professor Nez breaks down exactly what the newly released texts say, what they do and do not establish, how Fauci's private discussion compares with later public messaging, and why these records could reignite the debate over transparency, informed consent and America's pandemic response.Watch until the end and decide for yourself: Did the American public get the full picture?For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez✅ Reach out to me: https://bio.site/professornez✅ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/✅ Check out our Official Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@professornezclips▶ Support the Channel and Buy us a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/professornezEducational Commentary & Original AnalysisThis channel presents educational, lecture-style analysis created by a university professor and educator.

    What happens when you stop treating insurance as just a sales career and start building something that can impact clients, agents, families, and entire communities? In this episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast, Roger Short sits down with Gabriel Tovar, founder of Tovar Financial Group, to unpack the lessons Gabriel has learned across 28 years in the insurance industry. Gabriel's journey started after an unexpected injury forced him to reconsider his future. A simple invitation to "come and see" the insurance opportunity eventually changed the trajectory of his life and his family. Nearly three decades later, Tovar Financial Group has grown into a multi-vertical agency serving clients through life insurance, Medicare, health insurance, and retirement solutions while expanding its reach across multiple states. Gabriel and Roger discuss why the Hispanic market remains a tremendous opportunity for agents willing to educate, serve, and earn trust rather than simply sell products. Gabriel explains how becoming deeply involved in the communities Tovar Financial Group serves has helped create lasting relationships, referrals, and growth. They also dive into the importance of building an agency capable of serving clients across multiple insurance verticals. Gabriel shares how he spent years mastering life insurance, retirement planning, Medicare, and health insurance—and why agents don't have to become experts in everything overnight to ultimately provide more comprehensive service. But some of the biggest lessons in this conversation have nothing to do with products. Gabriel explains how investing in mentorship, training, relationships, and the right rooms completely changed the trajectory of his business. After nearly 20 years without strong systems or mentorship, getting around people operating at a higher level helped him expand his vision, implement better processes, and begin building a true agency. If you're an insurance agent trying to grow, an agency owner looking to reach the next level, or someone considering whether this industry could change your life, this conversation is a powerful reminder: Sometimes your biggest breakthrough begins with getting around the right people, investing in yourself, and being willing to take the next step. In this episode: • Gabriel Tovar's 28-year journey in insurance • Why the Hispanic insurance market remains underserved • Building trust instead of chasing transactions • Serving clients across life, Medicare, health, and retirement • How community involvement creates opportunity • Why mentorship transformed Tovar Financial Group • The difference between viewing training as an expense versus an investment • Why your environment and relationships matter • Building an agency that develops people—not just production • Creating freedom while keeping family at the center As Gabriel explains, products and compensation can be figured out—but being in the right environment, surrounded by the right people, can determine how far you ultimately go.

The case became the first murder trial in U.S. history televised gavel-to-gavel and turned Smart into one of America's most notorious convicted killers.

    Will Rosenzwieg was an Assistant US Attorney in Florida working on a significant Medicare fraud case when he was summarily fired by then AG Pam Bondi, citing Article II. He's now suing AG Todd Blanche and the Justice Department. His attorney, Margaret Donovan, joins this episode to share how a years-old blog Rosenzwieg had written criticizing Trump—before he was ever a federal employee—led to his dismissal, hours after it surfaced on social media via a right-wing influencer. “It's remarkable that the government wouldn't recognize what is so flagrantly a First Amendment violation,” Donovan says. After detailing the complaint, Mary and Andrew move to Todd Blanche's confirmation, before examining a ruling by an Alabama judge rejecting a motion to dismiss the case against the Southern Poverty Law Center on vindictive grounds. Next, they look at the latest in Trump's White House ballroom case after an appeals court upheld the block on its construction last Friday.

    The Supreme Court is being presented with yet another momentous illegal migrants decision to make—is an illegal who can manage to drag out the deportation process long enough entitled by law to a bond hearing that will inevitably release him to disappear once again into the American interior, or is the government allowed to detain that illegal migrant for the duration of the deportation process regardless of how long the illegal delays that process?Key to all this: The detainee subject to deportation is entitled by law at any time to raise his hand and be released—he just must choose some place other than the United States has his place of release.  He is only detained so long as he is demanding the right to remain in the US. Currently there is a circuit split on this question, with some federal circuits siding with the Trump administration argument that ongoing detention is lawful under both statute and Constitutional due process law—and that, in any case, Congress has stripped the Article III courts of the jurisdiction to hear these deportation cases--and other federal circuits claiming that not only must the government offer a bond hearing, but that there must be an overwhelming burden of proof on the government to deny bond and release, such that it is inevitable that illegals detained will be set free into the American interior.Trump's senior advisor Steven Miller's “American First Legal” organization has just filed an excellent Amicus Brief supporting (naturally) the Trump administration's position, and I'll be covering that brief in today's show.Join me LIVE at Noon ET as I break it all down!Clarence Thomas x 9: Perfect SCOTUS Mugs! https://tinyurl.com/k778wj2kFor complete Medicare guidance, dial (617) 644-0093 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter.All @TheBrancaShow mugs & MORE! https://tinyurl.com/k778wj2kJOIN OUR COMMUNITY!

    What if prostate cancer could be treated without a single incision, and patients could be home having dinner with their families the very same day? In this episode, Tom Tamberrino, Chief Commercial Officer of Profound Medical, discusses how the company's MRI-guided TULSA-PRO technology is changing prostate treatment through incisionless, minimally invasive procedures. He explains how focused ultrasound, AI-assisted treatment planning, and real-time MRI guidance enable physicians to treat both prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia while allowing patients to return home the same day. Tom also explores how new Medicare reimbursement is making the technology financially viable for urology practices, potentially expanding access to MRI-guided care outside traditional hospital settings. He concludes by highlighting the importance of men's health advocacy and introducing LetsHuddle.org, a community designed to encourage open conversations about prostate health and mental well-being. Tune in to learn how MRI-guided focused ultrasound, AI-assisted treatment planning, and a patient-first approach are redefining prostate care, and why the future of surgery may involve no scalpel at all.
