The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.  Brad is first joined by Alex Lawson, Executive Director of 'Social Security Works.'  The pair discusses GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson's comments that Republicans will cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in 2027. Alex also shares how Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Democratic members of the House, plan to schedule a vote to expand Social Security, if they win back the House in the November midterms. Finally, he also recaps his exciting visit to Netroots Nation 2026 that just took place in Philadelphia, and he previews '7 Days in DC: A Week of Democracy in Action.' (Find out more here: 7daysindc.com/#about) Then, Brad is joined by Sarah Jones, Editor-in-Chief for PoliticusUSA.   The two discuss what details are known thus far of Trump's Iran peace deal, including reporting that the deal has no agreements about Iran's nuclear program, which is why the President told the country he started this war. Next, they explain why Trump's UFC cage fight on the White House Lawn for his 80th birthday wasn't just a fantastic waste of taxpayer money, it was yet another stain he's left on the image of the White House, and the country. Lastly, Sarah shares how Trump's name being removed from the Kennedy Center, following his loss in court on the matter, symbolizes the end of his power in a very important and motivating way. Alex Lawson's handle on Blue Sky is @alaw202.bsky.social.  The website for Social Security Works is www.socialsecurityworks.org. You can read Sarah's work at www.thedailypoliticususa.com.

Show Notes Your fee schedule is a revenue ceiling. And for most independent practices doing over $3 million a year, that ceiling is set too low in ways that never generate a denial and never appear on a standard report. EP186 covers the five gaps that are quietly capping your revenue, the exact fix for each one, and three actions to run this week. Gap 1 — Billing Below Your Own Allowables: You negotiate a better payer contract. The billing system does not get updated. The payer pays what you billed, not what you are owed. A practice with 20 high-volume CPT codes averaging a $10 billing gap across 800 monthly claims is losing $8,000 a month, $96,000 a year, from a contract they already won. Gap 2 — Inconsistent Fee Schedules Across Locations: A secondary location runs on its legacy fee schedule from before acquisition. Location A bills $210 for a procedure. Location B bills $165 for the same code. A site doing 400 visits a month with a $35 average billing gap is under-billing $14,000 a month, $168,000 a year. Gap 3 — No Medicare Multiplier Anchor: Fees set by instinct drift downward every year while costs move in the opposite direction. The fix: anchor to 200–300% of the current Medicare allowable and recalculate every November when CMS publishes updated rates. Gap 4 — Suppressing Global Fees for Self-Pay Patients: A practice protecting 15% self-pay volume by keeping fees low inadvertently discounts 100% of encounters. 850 commercial patients billed $40 below the correct rate: $34,000 a month, $408,000 a year. The fix: raise the global fee schedule and implement a separate documented sliding fee scale for uninsured patients. Gap 5 — No Annual Fee Schedule Review: A fee schedule that is right in year one becomes the revenue leak of year five. A $4 million practice drifting 3% below where it should be loses $120,000 a year in collectible revenue. Over five years: $600,000. The Five Fee Schedule Gaps at a Glance: Billing below allowable → Payer pays billed charge, no alert → up to $8K/month Location fee inconsistency → Lower site appears compliant on reports → $3K–$15K/month No Medicare multiplier anchor → Fees drift, no logical update trigger → Compounds annually Artificially low global fee → Self-pay policy masks commercial discount loss → $5K–$20K/month No annual review → Costs rise, billed charges flat → 3–5% margin erosion per year Three actions this week: Run the top-20 CPT code comparison — billed charge vs. highest commercial contract allowable Anchor your fee schedule to the Medicare multiplier — recalculate for this year Put the annual fee schedule review on the Q4 calendar today — first week of November, billing manager named as owner Episode breakdown: 00:00 The fee schedule is a revenue ceiling 02:30 Why silence in billing costs more than denials 05:00 Gap 1: Billing below your own allowables 09:00 Gap 2: Inconsistent fee schedules across locations 13:00 Gap 3: No Medicare multiplier anchor 17:00 Gap 4: Suppressing global fees for self-pay patients 21:30 Gap 5: No annual fee schedule review 25:00 Three actions this week 29:00 Free resource + EP187 tease Resources Mentioned NEW LEAD MAGNET  Primary resource this episode: 30-Day Revenue Recovery Plan.

"We did this survey with a third-party consulting group who talked to 2,000 brokers. Their perception was that 25% of bills are going to be balance bills; it's actually 3%."Is Reference-Based Pricing (RBP) still something that just creates endless problems for HR?My guest this week is Jeff Bak, CEO of Imagine360. Jeff brings 30 years of healthcare and private equity experience to the table, and he's leading the charge to rebrand and evolve RBP from a defensive "pay and defend" model into a comprehensive, full-stack alternative health plan.In this episode, we tackle the persistent broker misconceptions surrounding RBP, dissecting exactly why the actual balance bill rate is closer to 3% while plan savings average over 20%. We also explore how Imagine360 blends RBP with strategic direct hospital contracts (like Baylor and Northwestern) to give employees a seamless "PPO-like" experience without the inflated PPO price tag. Jeff also breaks down the reality of the No Surprises Act (NSA) and Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process, and why hospitals are currently winning the majority of those arbitration cases.If you are a benefits consultant or an employer looking to truly break away from the traditional "BUCA" networks, while ensuring your employees aren't stranded with unmanageable balance bills, this conversation is the reality check you need.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

In Part 2 of this Live listener Q&A episode, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia tackle several retirement planning topics, including Social Security claiming strategies for spouses with age differences, how younger workers should think about Social Security's long-term solvency, whether to assume future benefit cuts in retirement projections, the impact of the "widow's penalty" on tax planning and Roth conversions, evaluating an older variable annuity with high fees, tax considerations when selling investments in a taxable account, and how to think about maintaining portfolio discipline during retirement. Throughout the discussion, they emphasize balancing planning conservatism with practicality, avoiding unnecessary forecasting, and making decisions that support long-term retirement goals rather than reacting to headlines or uncertainty.   Takeaways When spouses have similar Social Security benefits, but one spouse is significantly older, the older spouse often has the strongest case for delaying benefits until age 70 because that higher benefit is more likely to become the survivor benefit. Younger workers may not need to heavily discount future Social Security estimates because projected wage growth could offset a significant portion of any future benefit reductions. For retirees already near claiming age, assuming a 25% reduction in future Social Security benefits can be a reasonably conservative planning assumption. The eventual Social Security reform package is unlikely to rely solely on benefit cuts and will more likely include a combination of tax increases and benefit adjustments. The "widow's penalty" can significantly increase taxes for a surviving spouse because income often remains similar while tax brackets and Medicare thresholds become less favorable. Potential future tax increases and the widow's penalty are both compelling reasons to consider Roth conversions even when current projections suggest little immediate tax benefit. High-fee variable annuities should be evaluated carefully, especially to determine whether valuable income guarantees justify the ongoing costs. If guaranteed income sources such as pensions and Social Security already cover essential expenses, a variable annuity can potentially serve as a bridge strategy to delay Social Security benefits. When selling investments from a taxable account, maintaining the portfolio's target asset allocation is generally more important than trying to predict which investments will perform best or worst next. Tax-efficient selling decisions often come down to managing capital gains by choosing whether to realize gains from low-basis or high-basis shares depending on the investor's broader tax situation.   Chapters 00:00 Social Security Strategies for Couples 06:28 Concerns About Social Security Reliability 10:16 Planning for Future Social Security Benefits 13:20 Roth Conversions and Tax Planning 18:18 Evaluating Variable Annuities 22:24 Taxable Account Management Strategies 25:05 Maintaining Asset Allocation Discipline 27:53 Tax Considerations in Asset Sales   Links

The FBI just foiled an expansive domestic terror plot that targeted the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn — drone bombs, a pre-staged sniper team, and a second wave to storm the gate. But the part legacy media won't tell you is the motive: per the federal affidavit, suspects like 19-year-old Tycen Proper and California's Michael Alan Thomas wanted to target "capitalist elites," billionaires, and AIPAC-funded politicians — rhetoric that sounds word-for-word like AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Graham Platner.

JD Vance went on The View alone to sell his new book "Communion" and ended up taking apart Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Whoopi Goldberg on every front they tried. They came at him on the economy and affordability, on Epstein, on ICE, and finally on a thinly veiled "racist" smear — and each attack fell apart. Vance reminded the panel that Trump reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police, hit them with the Biden-era child trafficking numbers, and when Whoopi Goldberg accused him of erasing Black history, she couldn't name a single specific.

Gavin Newsom went on social media to announce that he and his wife are under FBI investigation — then started raising money off it, framing it as a Trump witch hunt. But follow the paper trail and the picture changes fast: $226 million in "behest payments" funneled to nonprofits under Newsom, his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom's gender-equity film outfit taking corporate and PG&E money, and a $3.7 million mansion handed over as a "gift" followed by a $2.7 million tax-free cash-out refi.

President Trump just sent shockwaves through the Middle East after reportedly unloading on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's strike in Beirut — right as a potential U.S.-Iran peace deal may be close. According to Axios, Trump said Netanyahu has “no fing judgment,” while Fox reporting says Trump asked him, “What the f are you doing?” as the White House tries to keep the Iran deal alive.In this video, Professor Nez breaks down why Trump is furious, why the Beirut strike could threaten the deal, what this means for Israel, Iran, Hezbollah, and the wider region, and why this may be one of the most consequential foreign policy moments of Trump's presidency.Is Trump about to bring peace home — or is the deal being sabotaged before it is even signed?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.

Home Staging for Real Estate Investors: How Presentation Affects Sale Price, Days on Market, and ROI Home staging is one of the most underused tools in a real estate investor's toolkit. Most investors treat it as an optional expense. The ones who understand it treat it as a marketing strategy that directly affects what a property sells for and how fast it sells. In this episode, Alisa Sparks, founder and CEO of Linden Creek, breaks down the business case for professional home staging, what it actually costs, and what investors consistently get wrong when they try to do it themselves. About Alisa Sparks Alisa Sparks is the Founder and CEO of Linden Creek, a luxury interior design and home staging franchise with 22 locations across the country. Before founding Linden Creek, Alisa worked in corporate and military finance. She brings a data-first approach to staging, focusing on ROI, days on market, and the psychology of how buyers experience a property. What We Cover in This Episode Why vacant homes sell slower and for less than staged homes The psychology of staged vs. unstaged properties and how buyer behavior changes The $50,000 difference: a real A/B case study using two identical townhouse floor plans What home staging actually costs ($4,000 to $10,000) versus furnishing a property yourself ($15,000 to $60,000) How stagers think about MLS photography, buyer traffic flow, and storytelling in a space The difference between staging for sale and designing for a homeowner Why virtual staging falls short when buyers walk through the door Common DIY staging mistakes: wrong furniture scale, mismatched quality, poor accessorizing How to use staging to offset property flaws that can't be fixed (small kitchens, awkward layouts, neighbor issues) When to bring in a stager during the selling process and how long to keep furniture in place The competitive advantage of staging in markets where only 20% of listings do it How Linden Creek uses AI tools to scale marketing output with a small team Key Insight Two identical townhouse units. Same floor plan, same location, same everything. One sat vacant and sold in four months for around $600,000. The other was staged. It sold within the first week for $50,000 more. That one variable — staging — was the only thing that changed. Alisa has collected dozens of case studies like this across eight years and hundreds of properties. Why This Episode Matters Most real estate investors focus their capital on what's inside the walls — HVAC, plumbing, flooring. Alisa's argument is that the last 5% of the budget, spent on how the property looks and feels on the day it hits the market, often has the highest return. If you're flipping houses, selling rentals, or trying to lease model units faster, this episode gives you a framework for making that decision with real numbers.

Chronic pain originated from genetic degenerative disc disease after the birth of her second child, leading to muscle spasms, failed artificial disc implant (FDA trial), spinal fusion, and permanent nerve damage in both legs. At peak pharmaceutical use, Shelley was on approximately seven medications — including pain, antidepressant, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, and panic medications — with five taken daily. Side effects from pharmaceuticals included nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, hair loss, poor nail and dental health, and chronic lack of deep sleep. Cannabis was first introduced by her Colorado chronic pain specialist, who permitted concurrent use with pain medication; she began with edibles primarily to address severe appetite loss and weight loss. Beyond appetite, cannabis progressively reduced anxiety, stress, and other symptoms, surprising Shelley given her Gen X perception of it as a "stoner drug." Her doctor's indictment for Medicare fraud in Colorado — abandoning 250+ patients overnight and destroying records — forced a pivotal choice; she opted to transition fully to cannabis rather than restart the pharmaceutical advocacy process. Going cold turkey off pain medication in 2020 was manageable partly because cannabis had already built mental resilience, contrasting with pharmaceuticals which she felt made her mentally unstable. Shelley noted it took approximately five years after stopping pharmaceuticals to feel chemically different — lighter and healed — underscoring the long-term impact of pharmaceutical residue. A spinal cord stimulator implanted roughly seven years into her chronic pain journey provided ~40% pain relief via leads and an internal battery; the leads are now burning out but she has decided against replacement surgery due to prior nerve damage risk. Current cannabis regimen: ~50mg hybrid edible (CBD/CBN blend) each morning plus smoking at night for relaxation and sleep, with the ability to self-regulate dosage by cutting down without withdrawal. Stigma encountered from her generation includes perceptions of cannabis as a lazy, unmotivated, or gateway drug — compounded by prior stigma as a chronic pain patient during the opioid epidemic. Cannabis is credited with delivering mental clarity and stability, directly countering the common misconception that it causes fogginess or impaired thinking. Chronic pain described as an all-consuming mental battle; cannabis enabled Shelley to stay present and mentally strong rather than constantly focused on pain — a key quality-of-life shift. Reflecting on her journey, Shelley's core message is to open the door to cannabis sooner, while acknowledging that everything happens in its own time.

Chairman Jason Smith of the House Ways and Means Committee joins the Try That In A Small Town podcast from CMA Fest in Nashville. He breaks down what the powerful Ways and Means Committee actually does and how it touches every American's life through taxes, trade, Social Security, Medicare, and more. Jason opens up about his small-town Missouri roots, being a fourth-generation farmer, raising white buffalo, and why he still lives in the same rural community he represents. He explains how he took the Ways and Means Committee on the road to 32 states to listen to working families, small businesses, and farmers before writing what he calls the “Big Beautiful Bill” – the largest tax cut in U.S. history, including no tax on tips and overtime. The conversation gets candid on Social Security's future, election integrity and slow vote counts in places like California, and what happens when people lose trust in the system. Jason also shares behind-the-scenes stories of working closely with President Trump – from grilling him for three hours on every line of a 103-title tax bill in the Oval Office to the now-famous “red button” that just orders Diet Coke. Along the way, they talk CMA Fest, Jason's obsession with Reba, the Chiefs, Mahomes vs. Brady, cleaning up Washington, D.C., and why he believes the founding fathers' values are really small-town values. Jason closes with a powerful story of a single mom whose $10,000 tax refund changed her life – and why that's why he still fights for small towns and working families.

SpaceX officially went public, raising a record $75 billion and becoming the largest IPO in history—and Jeremiah Bates and Nick Daniels spend the first hour breaking down what that means for investors, how IPOs work, whether buying newly public companies makes sense, and how many investors may gain exposure through index funds and retirement accounts. The conversation then shifts to a major tax planning issue approaching at the end of 2026: Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) investments. The guys explain why deferred gains from these investments are becoming taxable, the planning opportunities available before the deadline, and what investors should be doing now to prepare. The show also covers donor-advised funds, highly appreciated stock strategies, the differences between flat-fee planning and traditional asset management, and practical retirement tax planning topics including required minimum distributions (RMDs), qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), Roth conversions, and Medicare-related planning opportunities.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Hosts: Jeremiah Bates & Nic Daniels ————— Ataraxis PEO https://ataraxispeo.com Tree City Advisors of Apollon: https://www.treecityadvisors.com Apollon Wealth Management: https://apollonwealthmanagement.com/ —————————————————————

DC EKG with Joe Grogan Episode 137: Tax Expenditures, 340 B Drug Pricing, and Kidney Donation Reform Air Date: June 15, 2026 Episode DescriptionIn this episode, Joe Grogan sits down with Dr. Ike Brannon, President of Capital Policy Analytics and Senior Fellow at the Jack Kemp Foundation, to discuss hidden tax expenditures, the 340 B drug pricing program, and innovative solutions to the kidney shortage crisis. Dr. Brannon brings decades of Capitol Hill experience, including roles as chief economist of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and senior advisor to Senator Orrin Hatch. He and co-author Tony LoSasso recently published groundbreaking research in Health Affairs Forefront arguing that the 340 B drug pricing program should be classified as a hidden tax expenditure costing the federal government 15 to 20 billion dollars annually. The conversation covers how the 340 B program evolved from providing discounted drugs to uninsured patients into a massive subsidy for nonprofit institutions with little benefit to poor patients. Dr. Brannon explains how the same drug acquired at a 340 B discount often results in full commercial copays for patients. Joe and Dr. Brannon explore other problematic tax expenditures including the mortgage interest deduction, employer health insurance exclusion, and credit union tax breaks. The episode pivots to Dr. Branons passionate work on kidney donation reform. Forty-five thousand Americans die annually from end stage renal failure due to kidney shortage, disproportionately affecting African Americans. Dr. Brannon advocates for fully reimbursing kidney donors for all expenses. Key Topics340 B drug pricing program, tax expenditures, pharmaceutical discounts, nonprofit hospitals, mortgage interest deduction, kidney donation, end stage renal failure, organ shortage, entitlement reform, social security, Medicare, federal deficit, health economics Key Timestamps 0:00 Opening: What should be in a reconciliation bill?4:38 The 340 B drug pricing program explained13:54 How the 340 B discount does not reach patients20:13 Mortgage interest deduction: the most irritating tax break31:00 Prospects for reconciliation under Trump administration34:57 The kidney donation crisis: 45,000 deaths per year39:02 How kidney donation reimbursement would work40:00 Would you allow kidney sales?

A leaked, fresh poll can cut through months of rumors, and that's exactly what we got for the New Mexico governor's race. We walk you through the toplines and the telling cross-tabs: how Deb Haaland looks on favorability, why Gregg Hull's biggest advantage might be that so many voters still don't know him, and what the early head-to-head (48 to 42) suggests about the work both sides have to do.We also get honest about the national shadow hanging over a state contest. Trump's numbers in New Mexico, especially with independents and undecided voters, create a real strategic trap for Republicans: lean in and lose the middle, or create distance and risk depressing your own turnout. From there we drill into the issues that actually move votes here at home, including Haaland's past comments on a fracking ban on public lands and why that collides with New Mexico's energy-driven budget, plus why “Medicare for All” language polls well even when the math gets messy.Then we pivot to Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, where the gross receipts tax is back on the table. We break down the “only half a penny” sales pitch, why gross receipts taxes are regressive, and why repeated tax and fee hikes land hardest on small businesses and working families in a state that already ranks near the top for tax burden while ranking last for median household income. We close with a quick hit on Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire on paper, what that debate says about envy politics and innovation, plus a little Sunday game cam fun and your emails.Subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more New Mexicans can find the show and join the conversation.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

What does it take to build a retirement plan designed to support you for 20, 30 or even 40 years? In this episode, Loren Merkle, Molly Nelson and Haley Gutschenritter explain why owning IRAs, 401(k)s, annuities and savings accounts does not automatically create a retirement strategy. Using the analogy of construction blueprints versus tools, they explain how a written retirement plan can help coordinate income, taxes, inflation, health care and long-term financial decisions into one cohesive plan built for the realities of retirement.The episode dives into how inflation can quietly erode purchasing power over time, why taxes may become one of the key challenges to long-term retirement wealth, how the bucket strategy can help balance short-term income needs with long-term growth and how recent tax law changes, including the senior bonus deduction, may affect planning decisions.Whether you're nearing retirement or already retired, this episode offers practical insights into building a retirement blueprint designed to help support income needs while adapting to inflation, taxes, market volatility and the unexpected challenges that can come with a long retirement.--Loren Merkle, CFP®, RICP®, Certified Financial Fiduciary®https://merkleretirementplanning.com/staff-members/loren-merkle/Haley Gutschenritter, CFP®https://merkleretirementplanning.com/staff-members/haley-gutschenritter/Molly Nelson, Host of Retiring Today with Loren Merklehttps://merkleretirementplanning.com/staff-members/molly-nelson/--This video does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation of any security or any other product or service by Merkle Retirement Planning LLC, Elite Retirement Planning LLC, MRP Insurance LLC, or any other third party regardless of whether such security, product or service is referenced in this episode.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – For decades, Americans have been told that Social Security would be there when they needed it.

Yet the latest report reveals a system under enormous strain, raising serious questions about...

The U.S. administration is keen to sign up more companies to drug pricing deals, and mandatory rules are on the way. But how will the midterm elections affect these and other healthcare policy issues?

Key PointsMandatory Most Favored Nation pricing rules are likely to be contested in court.The FDA's initiatives to speed drug development are signals of its modernization intent.The U.S. is more likely to use incentives than sanctions to address mass in-licensing of Chinese innovation.The current program to extend access to GLP-1s could be a template for future breakthrough drugs.Democrat gains in the midterm elections would likely limit further hospital cuts.Introductions [00:08]Host Joe Coletti introduces highlights from the U.S. Healthcare Policy Panel at RBC's Global Healthcare Conference, featuring Hunter Hammond and Will Humphrey of Capstone's Healthcare Group.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Three Indian sailors are dead after U.S. forces struck a commercial tanker in the Gulf of Oman, marking the first reported fatalities tied to Washington's blockade of Iran. We'll explain what happened, why India is demanding answers, and how the incident could complicate one of America's most important strategic relationships. Ukraine may have found a cheaper way to defend its skies. We'll look at a new homegrown interceptor missile that costs less than a quarter of a Patriot round and could help Kyiv counter Russian missile attacks at a fraction of the cost. Five months after the fall of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela is rapidly dismantling the symbols of his rule. We'll examine how the former dictator is being erased from public life and what it says about the country's post-Maduro future. In today's Back of the Brief, the House rejects a last-minute effort to extend a controversial surveillance authority, putting the future of a key U.S. intelligence tool in doubt.  To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting https://PDBPremium.com.

Prior to the 1930s, old age in America often meant poverty. But thanks to Social Security, Medicare, medical advances, and rising asset prices, over the past 90 years, older Americans have become one of the wealthiest and most politically powerful groups in the country. In his new book, 'Gerontocracy in America,' Samuel Moyn argues that this success has created a dangerous imbalance. He says America isn't just facing oligarchy, or rule by the rich, but "Old-igarchy": a system in which wealth and power are increasingly concentrated among older generations, often at the expense of younger Americans. Today, Derek talks with Moyn about the rise of gerontocracy in America, whether elderly power has become a problem, what reforms could rebalance the scales between generations, and whether this argument is a serious critique of American politics or simply ageist nonsense.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

President Trump's administration says it has located roughly 146,000 previously unaccounted-for migrant children after years of chaos at the southern border. Now, new DOJ charges and investigations into so-called “super-sponsor” cases are raising disturbing questions about how unaccompanied children were released, who received them, and whether failed border policies put vulnerable kids in danger.According to DHS Inspector General findings, ICE reported that more than 32,000 unaccompanied children failed to appear for immigration court hearings between fiscal years 2019 and 2023, while roughly 291,000 were not issued court notices. Recent reporting also says DOJ has charged three Guatemalan nationals in an alleged scheme involving smuggling unaccompanied minors into the United States, while officials review more than 15,000 cases involving adults who sponsored multiple unrelated children. This video breaks down what happened, why sanctuary city policies are now under fire, why the child-trafficking allegations are so serious, and why President Trump's border enforcement agenda is being framed by supporters as a mission to save the children.This is not just a border story. This is a child protection story. And America deserves answers.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.

President Donald Trump just announced a major escalation in the U.S. pressure campaign against Iran, saying America will be hitting Iran “very hard tonight” and warning that the next round will be “bigger” and “more powerful.” Trump claimed Iran's navy, air force, radar, anti-aircraft systems, and much of its offensive capability have been destroyed, while also discussing Kharg Island, Iran's oil and gas markets, and the broader future of U.S. strategy in the region.In this video, we break down Trump's explosive new Iran announcement, what he said about the Iranian regime, why Kharg Island matters, what this means for oil, gas, military strategy, and the Middle East, and why the media reaction is already becoming a major part of the story.Trump also delivered a direct message about the Iranian people, saying ordinary citizens are living under fear and repression while the regime holds the weapons. This is one of the biggest foreign policy moments of Trump's presidency, and tonight's announcement could change the entire trajectory of U.S.-Iran relations.Watch until the end for the full breakdown, the key quotes, and what this could mean next.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.

Think you make your own choices? The Loop author Jacob Ward shows how AI preys on the autopilot brain, and what a little friction can do to fight back.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1342What We Discuss with Jacob Ward:How nearly all our daily decisions run on autopilot, made by the ancient shortcut part of the brain rather than the rational sliver that makes us human, and why that makes us so easy to steer.Why AI rarely seizes your choices outright and instead narrows the menu until you pick what it wanted, turning feeds, risk scores, and recommendations into rails that only feel like freedom.How unauditable algorithms quietly absorb old biases like redlining, and why the harm falls hardest on the powerless: denied loans, food stamps, and Medicare claims no human can explain.Why recent verdicts against Meta and YouTube establish "behavioral harm" as a new legal category, and how lawsuits, like the ones that reined in Big Tobacco, may be the only real check here.What a little friction can do to hand decision-making back to you, from leaving your phone at home to bricking the apps that hook you, and why treating your brain as a separate voice helps.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

In Part 1 of The Boy Who Never Came Home: The Case of Dylan Redwine, Dr. Phil revisits the haunting disappearance of 13-year-old Dylan Redwine, who flew to Colorado for a court-ordered Thanksgiving visit with his father, Mark Redwine, and vanished by the next morning. Dr. Phil breaks down the family conflict, the custody battle, Dylan's reported discomfort about visiting his dad, and the emotional toll of forcing a child into a situation where he allegedly did not feel safe. He also analyzes his own past interview with Dylan's parents, Elaine and Mark Redwine, where the conversation became confrontational and revealed troubling language, blame-shifting, and unanswered questions. As investigators search the rugged Colorado wilderness, Dr. Phil examines the limits of polygraph testing, the danger of relying on inconsistent statements, and why the person last known to see a missing child alive becomes impossible to ignore. Months later, Dylan's remains are found on Middle Mountain but his skull is missing, and the mystery only deepens.Sponsored by: Don't wait!
