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.

Colorado police officer Sergeant Matthew Neely, who happens to be white, found himself in August 2025 standing alone facing down a non-compliant, intoxicated, high-speed flight, car-crashing, black Rajon Belt-Stubblefield, who is actively attacking that officer while urging his nearby son to retrieve his dropped pistol.  Ultimately Neely is compelled to shoot him Belt-Stubblefield, fatally, in patent self-defense, with the confrontation and shooting captured on video from various angles, including BWC, surveillance cameras, and cell phone video.Now, ridiculously, nearly a full year later, Officer Neely finds himself indicted on charges of murder and manslaughter for that shooting.As normalized as this kind of persecution of police has become, we have the added bonus this this case occurred in Colorado, arguably one of the very most hostile states towards law enforcement, having in recent years both eliminated qualified immunity for police as well as prohibited their use of any kind of choke hold even if necessary to save the life of the officer or another innocent person.Join me LIVE at Noon ET as I break it all down!Make sure you're ready to win the LEGAL FIGHT that follows the PHYSICAL FIGHT if you're ever compelled to defend yourself or your family from criminal predation.

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/

AOC just said something about the “woke” era that almost nobody expected to hear.During an appearance on ABC's *This Week*, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was confronted with questions surrounding the rhetoric of 2020, including calls to defund police and controversial past positions from progressive candidates.Her response?“Woke 1 was crazy.”AOC also acknowledged that rhetoric used during the lockdown era is “not rhetoric that we would use today.”That raises a much bigger question: what changed?With speculation already building around AOC's political future and a possible 2028 run, we're examining her newest comments alongside the positions and rhetoric that defined the progressive movement just a few years ago.Is this simply political evolution—or are we watching the beginning of a major political repositioning?Watch the clips, compare the record, and decide for yourself.Subscribe and turn on notifications for breaking political news, analysis, and commentary.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.

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? Thanks to the sponsors of The Chuck ToddCast: Upgrade your everyday.

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.

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. 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.

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:

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.

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.

A practicing pathologist explains why DaVita, UnitedHealth, and Natera are playing fundamentally different games — and why one of them could break first.Investing in healthcare stocks requires a different framework than semiconductor investing. In this excerpt from a CSI live Q&A, we sit down with Dr. Brad Gibson — a practicing pathologist and private-practice partner — to break down how the US healthcare system actually gets paid, and what that means for stock picking.Brad walks through four investable buckets: medical service providers (DaVita, Natera, TransMedics), health insurers (UnitedHealth, CVS, Cigna, Elevance), pharmaceutical companies (Eli Lilly, Vertex), and healthcare hardware/software providers (Stryker, Veeva, Intuitive Surgical).The conversation covers Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement mechanics, CPT codes and RVU conversion factors, why private practices are being pushed into hospital consolidation, how pharmacy benefit managers generate profit through rebates, and why UnitedHealthcare's vertical integration has drawn regulatory scrutiny. Brad also gives his take on AI in pathology and drug discovery, and explains why he's more concerned about a healthcare cost bubble than an AI bubble.If you're building a healthcare investing thesis for 2026, this is where to start.If you want the reasoning behind more names like this one, Semiconductor Insider covers the process in more depth: https://www.chipstockinvestor.comAll our socials: https://linktr.ee/chipstockinvestorContent in this episode is for general information or entertainment only and is not specific or individual investment advice.

Pamela Smart became infamous after prosecutors said she manipulated her 15-year-old lover, Billy Flynn, into murdering her husband, Gregg Smart. 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. In Part 1 of Pamela Smart: Should She Get A New Trial?, Mystery & Murder: Analysis by Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil examines how Pamela's relationship with Billy allegedly evolved from trust and emotional dependency into sex, secrecy and talk of murder. He breaks down the psychology of grooming, attachment vulnerability, blurred boundaries and the power an adult can hold over a teenager whose judgment is still developing. Now, with Pamela Smart seeking a new trial based on claims of newly uncovered evidence and undisclosed information, Dr. Phil asks the question at the heart of the case: Was justice served or is there more to this story than the jury ever heard?Thank you to our sponsors for your continued partnership:Don't wait!

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, James Howard Kunstler joins Eric to discuss Anthony Fauci's recent testimony, the unanswered questions surrounding Covid, and whether accountability may finally be coming. They also examine the roles of government agencies, media organizations, pharmaceutical companies, January 6, the Biden-era DOJ and FBI, and the broader collapse of trust in American institutions. Kunstler argues that despite widespread frustration and “black-pilling,” the truth is durable and the wheels of justice may still be turning.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

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!

DiJonai Carrington was EJECTED from the Chicago Sky's matchup against the Indiana Fever after a hard foul on Sophie Cunningham during a layup attempt — but what happened AFTER the ejection has ignited an entirely new WNBA controversy.Officials reviewed the play and upgraded Carrington's foul to a Flagrant 2, resulting in an automatic ejection. Carrington then took to Threads and posted “WHITE PRIVILEGE,” tagging the Indiana Fever.Sophie Cunningham wasn't buying it.Cunningham pushed back on the suggestion that race had anything to do with the decision, pointing out that she herself has previously been ejected after committing a hard foul.Now the incident is exploding far beyond basketball and reigniting a much larger conversation surrounding race, politics, accountability and identity politics inside professional sports.Was the Flagrant 2 justified? And what do you make of Carrington's “WHITE PRIVILEGE” response?Sound off in the comments.

Is $1.2 Million Enough to Retire Early as a Gay Couple?Joe and Bob are both 55. They have $1.2 million saved and invested for retirement, no debt and dreams of spending their go-go years slow traveling around the world.So, can they quit their jobs and retire today?The answer is… probably. But there's a catch.In this episode of Queer Money®, we put this fictional gay couple through three retirement tests to see whether $1.2 million is actually enough to retire at 55. And what we find shows exactly why your retirement number alone doesn't tell you whether you're financially independent.Joe and Bob want to spend about $60,000 a year, have $120,000 available in cash and taxable investments and expect about $48,000 a year from Social Security beginning at 70.At that spending level, our Queer Money Retirement Calculator projects they could reach age 100 with approximately $557,000 remaining.But bump their lifestyle up just $1,000 a month to $72,000 a year?Their money could be gone in their early 80s.Same $1.2 million. Very different retirement.

Joe tackles AOC's political future, explaining why she'll skip a grueling presidential run in favor of a comfortable primary challenge against Chuck Schumer. He exposes the chameleon-like accents of New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and the hypocrisy of corporate media anchors running interference for progressive politicians.Later, Joe details the double standards and rising tensions in the WNBA, dissects Abdul El-Sayed's defensive mathematical gymnastics regarding Medicare-for-All taxes, and delivers a throwback to a time when prominent liberals like David Letterman and Jimmy Carter actually championed common-sense voting guidelines.

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.

The record backs the frustration. Roe was never codified when Democrats had the chance. Medicare for All has been a talking point for 25 years. The federal minimum wage is still 7.25 an hour, under 15,000 dollars a year. Six or seven Democrats reliably cross over on defense authorization and funding bills, and then Chuck Schumer writes a letter. Nicolle Wallace made the point that stuck with Hawk: elected Democrats have spent decades treating their base as captive, because that base will never vote Republican. Then there is Hasan Piker, quoted out of context and never named on air. Hawk's standing dare to Morning Joe, Jake Tapper, and Dana Bash is to book him and have the argument directly.

92507 is changing, and SLP documentation will have to change with it.In this episode, Jeanette Benigas, PhD/SLP, is joined by adult and pediatric private practice owners Katie Brown, MA/SLP, and Emily Watkins, MCD/SLP, to talk about what the new code set could mean for documentation, billing, compliance, and audit risk across pediatric and adult settings.Katie and Emily share firsthand experiences with Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance audits, including what payers requested, what triggered the audits, and why documentation supporting medical necessity and skilled intervention matters. They also deliberate one of the biggest shifts ahead: moving from a catch-all code to multiple service-specific codes means SLPs will need to clearly support what they treated, why it required skilled intervention, and the time spent providing that treatment.The takeaway: do what you bill, bill what you do, and document what you do.Whether you're a clinician, manager, or private practice owner, now is the time to understand the changes and prepare... before January.Resources Mentioned

When you're moving into retirement, you're most likely to be starting to ask yourself which investment accounts you should start drawing from first. There's really no universal answer—retirement withdrawal strategies are deeply personal and situation-dependent. But understanding the implications of each account type and the factors that influence withdrawal order can have a massive impact on your tax burden and the longevity of your assets.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Retirement withdrawal strategy options [06:37] Roth IRA and taxable accounts [07:47] Tax implications for investment gains [14:12] Roth IRA conversion strategy [16:17] Real-life retirement income strategies [19:36] Importance of a withdrawal strategy   Understanding the Account Types and Their Tax Impact   The foundation of your strategic withdrawal plan begins with understanding how each investment account is taxed:   1. Pre-tax Retirement Accounts These include traditional IRAs and 401(k)s, SEP IRAs, and similar plans. Contributions offer a tax deduction, and growth is tax-deferred, but withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income. These accounts are eventually subject to required minimum distributions (RMDs), currently beginning at age 73 or 75, depending on your birth year. Withdrawals here not only increase your reported income but can also impact Medicare premiums and Social Security taxation.   2. Roth Accounts Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s are funded with after-tax contributions. Qualified withdrawals are tax-free and—if the original contributor owns the account, not subject to RMDs in your lifetime. This makes Roth accounts especially valuable for flexible, later-stage withdrawals.   3. Taxable Brokerage Accounts These are standard investment accounts not designated for retirement. Withdrawals of principal do not create taxable events; only realized capital gains, dividends, and interest are reported for taxes. One major benefit: capital gains rates can be lower than ordinary income rates and may even reach 0% for some filers. Withdrawals can be easy to manage for opportunistic or requirement-driven needs.   Questions to Consider with Personalized Withdrawal Planning Several personal factors play into the best withdrawal order: Are you retiring before 65 and in need of Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance? Do you want to minimize future RMDs or leave assets to heirs? When will you begin Social Security or receive pension income? What is your preferred tax bracket and desired lifestyle flexibility?   These questions should be revisited regularly, as changes in tax law, health, or legacy wishes can affect your strategy.   Real-World Withdrawal Scenarios Coordinating Withdrawals for ACA Subsidies Jonathan retires at 57, pre-Medicare, and must carefully manage his modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) to retain ACA health insurance subsidies. My suggested plan is to combine modest 401(k) withdrawals, reportable dividends, and money market interest to stay below the MAGI threshold. Additional cash needs are met from accounts, like the money market, which don't affect taxable income. This keeps his subsidy and aligns with income limits, demonstrating the need for multi-account coordination.   Reducing Future RMDs and Leaving a Legacy Walter and Amy, 62, want to avoid burdening their heirs with high-tax inheritance on pre-tax accounts. Instead of focusing solely on paying the least tax today, they prioritize Roth conversions while Social Security is delayed, taking advantage of lower brackets now to transfer wealth into tax-free vehicles. Over several years, they could convert hundreds of thousands into Roth IRAs, significantly reducing future RMDs while maximizing wealth transfer.   Minimizing Tax on Social Security Christian, 68, blends Social Security with distributions from non-taxable sources like his money market to avoid triggering federal taxes on his Social Security. Careful planning allows him to either keep Social Security tax-free or, with limited IRA withdrawals, incur only minimal tax.   The Importance of Ongoing Review and Professional Advice Your withdrawal strategy is not a "set-and-forget" plan. Tax laws, account balances, and individual goals will change over time. I suggest annual reviews and, ideally, working with a specialized financial advisor to continually adjust the plan for optimal tax efficiency and income sustainability. A thoughtful approach, tailored to your personal circumstances and updated regularly, will help you balance tax efficiency, income needs, and legacy goals.    Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE    Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

Is a Health Savings Account Right for You? Episode 395 – A Health Savings Account, or HSA, is one of very few financial vehicles considered “triple tax advantaged.” You can get a deduction going in, the money grows tax-free, and the money also comes out tax-free. But they're not for everybody as there are some major caveats. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 395 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: is a Health Savings Account right for you? What would you say if someone told you about an investment vehicle where you get a tax deduction going in, the money in the account grows tax-free, and the withdrawals are tax-free when they come out? Such a product exists, but it's not quite that simple. An Individual Retirement Account or IRA doesn't work that way. You get a deduction going in, but you pay income tax when you take the money out. A Roth IRA lets you take the money out tax-free (with certain qualifications), but you don't get a deduction when you put the money in. A Health Savings Account, or HSA, is one of very few financial vehicles considered “triple tax advantaged.”[1] You can get a deduction on monies going in, the money grows tax-free, and the money also comes out tax-free. But there are some major caveats to understand. HSAs don't work for everyone. Only certain people can contribute, and when you take the money out, there are some conditions that need to be met if you want to take full advantage of the tax incentives. Here's how an HSA works. To contribute, you need to be part of what the Internal Revenue Service or IRS calls a “High-Deductible Health Plan.” The IRS defines a high-deductible health plan as one that requires an annual deductible. A deductible is the amount one must pay out-of-pocket for healthcare before health insurance coverage will share in the costs. In 2026, the minimum deductibles for a high deductible HSA health plan are set at $1,700 for coverage on yourself only, and $3,400 if the coverage includes your family.[2] Also, the out-of-pocket maximum cannot be higher than $8,500 for self-only coverage and $17,000 for family coverage. There are more rules. To contribute to an HSA, you can't be enrolled in another plan that is not considered HSA-eligible, nor can you be someone claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return. If you're not sure whether your plan qualifies, you will need to ask either the benefits administrator where you work or the plan provider. And for the record, Medicare does not count as a high-deductible medical plan. So, you can't participate in an HSA if you're covered by Medicare. As with almost any tax-advantaged investment vehicle, there are contribution limits. For 2026, you can contribute up to $4,400 for yourself, or $8,750 if your high-deductible plan covers your family.[3] And much like a 401(k), your employer can match your HSA contribution. In fact, in 2024 approximately 84 percent of employees covered by a qualified HSA health plan also received a contribution from their employers.[4] Note that the limits above are overall limits that include both the employee and, if applicable, employer contributions. Then there's the issue of distributions from the account. Distributions can be tax-free, but with some significant restrictions. To be tax-free, the distributions must be used for what the IRS calls “qualified medical expenses.” And what are qualified medical expenses? These might include hospital care, ambulance services, hearing aids, lab fees, dental and vision care, and other things. You can even use an HSA for health-care-related travel, massage therapy and substance abuse treatment.[5] [6] An HSA can be used for expenses both big and small. If your distribution doesn't meet the qualifications, any withdrawals after age 65 are considered fully taxable, like a traditional IRA or 401(k). Before age 65 there is also a 20 percent early withdrawal penalty. This means that, if necessary, you could treat an HSA as a secondary retirement plan. But of course, if you have qualified medical expenses that need to be paid, the taxation incentive would make them a better option. When it comes time to withdraw money as needed, you can either pay the provider directly from the HSA account (many providers offer the use of a debit card tied to the account) or pay the provider yourself and get reimbursed from the account.[7] Note that an HSA is different from a Flexible Spending Account or FSA. An FSA is another, albeit generally less popular, type of account designed to help with medical expenses. The employer generally owns an FSA, whereas the employee owns an HSA. But an FSA is also, in most cases, a “use it or lose it” type of account. At the end of the year (plus an optional grace period), you lose any money that's left over in your FSA.[8] Also note that in most circumstances, you can have a general-purpose FSA or HSA, but not both.[9] An HSA has no such restriction when it comes to how long it takes to use it. If you don't spend the money, it rolls over within the account. It belongs to you forever, even if you switch jobs. Of course, these sums, invested over several decades, can amount to a significant amount of money by the time you use them. Compounding plays a role here just like most other investment vehicles, only this time it may all be potentially tax-free. One final thought about HSAs. As we've mentioned before, the cost of health care for seniors can be staggering. According to Fidelity, a 65-year-old individual may need an after-tax total of $172,500 to cover the cost of health care expenses in retirement.[10] In the right circumstances, an HSA can be a tax-efficient way to fund some of those costs.

Eric Hansen is the founder and CEO of Burst Billing, a medical billing company on a mission to help nursing homes reclaim the Medicare Part B supply reimbursements they're owed and almost never collect. He got his start in senior care as a CNA before moving into portable x-ray and lab sales, where he saw firsthand how the system's "medicine by prophecy" approach — over-supplying to be safe — quietly drained facilities' already-thin margins. He walked away from a six-figure salary to bet that nine out of ten nursing homes were giving their profits away, and that he could win it back for them. In just two years, Burst Billing has grown to 17 states and recovered more than $1 million in reimbursements for its clients. Self-taught in AI with over 2,000 hours behind him, Eric has built a fleet of agents that keep his company lean — and he's refreshingly candid that his ultimate goal is to make Burst unnecessary by helping the entire industry collect these dollars on its own.Show Notes:00:00 — Introduction02:01 — Meet Eric Hansen: the bet that 9 of 10 nursing homes are giving profits away03:44 — From CNA to founder: how Eric got into senior care and spotted "medicine by prophecy"06:31 — Going all in: disproving the model, the weekend that changed everything, proving yourself wrong10:13 — On the naysayers: "You'll stop caring what others think when you realize how little they do"12:31 — What is a Part B supply?

The national political media has been in a frenzy this week about friend-of-the-pod Abdul El-Sayed's Senate primary victory in Michigan! Sayed made Medicare for All the centerpiece of his campaign, and at the polls, over 700,000 Michiganders got behind that vision of healthcare justice. But there's another Medicare for All story unfolding in Michigan  – the campaign to win a statewide universal healthcare system in Michigan as a stepping stone to national Medicare for All. Michigan State Representative Carrie Rheingans is leading the charge for universal healthcare in Michigan and organizing with state legislators across the country who are tired of waiting for the federal government to take action. Today she'll tell us about her work in the Wolverine state and the 50-state strategy to introduce state-level Medicare for All bills in every state in the country. Plus, as always, we’ve got the latest healthcare news! https://www.youtube.com/live/At-OmV7f1JE?si=9MeKA9kYklF-BvpL Carrie Rheingans represents the 47th District of Michigan in the state legislature.

When the U.S. Congress wants to get together, they don't just check the shared Google calendar for a time when nobody's using the House floor. Scheduling when or if a bill will ever get discussed or voted on is entirely up to the majority party. These days, that means that lawmakers outside the MAGAverse can't do some pretty basic parts of their jobs like holding hearings. The Congressional Progressive Caucus has responded with a series of alternative “shadow” hearings on topics like healthcare – you know, life or death stuff that Republicans never seem to get around to talking about. Medicare for All got its turn in the shadows on July 22, with a hearing hosted by Representatives Pramila Jayapal and Debbie Dingell. Today we're getting a full report-back on the hearing from Kara Sheehan, Political Director for National Nurses United.   Plus, as always, we’ve got the latest healthcare news! https://www.youtube.com/live/leKU4zhIoSk?si=iCfP17z_IPHRaFHg Kara Sheehan is the Political Director of National Nurses United, the largest nurses’ union in U.S. History!

Socially vulnerable Medicare patients see dramatically better outcomes—such as fewer emergency department visits, fewer preventable hospital admissions, and 23.4% to 30% less use of high-risk medications—when their physicians take on full financial risk for their care compared with those in traditional fee-for-service Medicare. That's the core finding of a new study published in the June issue of Population Health, Equity & Outcomes, and the subject of this conversation between Ken Cohen, MD, chief medical officer for Optum Health, and host Sophia Humphreys, PharmD, vice president of health system strategy and innovation at The American Journal of Managed Care.

Democrats’ shifting positions on socialism and taxes, including a Medicare-for-All proposal that would raise taxes on the middle class. Plus, the debate over Mount Everest, Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood, AI and privacy concerns, a canceled beauty queen, and another round of Holy Crap It’s Sports.

From politicians distancing themselves from past progressive positions to Medicare for All proposals that could mean higher taxes, Kimmer takes a closer look at the rhetoric behind the headlines—and what voters are really being asked to believe.

Property management accounting problems rarely announce themselves. They build quietly, through reconciliation shortcuts, commingled funds, and data spread across systems that were never designed to talk to each other. By the time the damage shows up in a report, the decisions based on bad numbers have already been made. In this episode, Mo Hussein, CEO of Balanced Asset Solutions, breaks down why property management accounting systems break as portfolios grow, what bad data is actually costing operators, and how the next generation of AI tools is changing what oversight looks like at scale. About Mo Hussein Mo Hussein is the CEO and founder of Balanced Asset Solutions, a CPA-led consulting firm specializing in property management accounting, software optimization, and operational performance. Before founding BAS, Mo held roles at AppFolio and Yardi, giving him a front-row view of how these systems are built, where they get misused, and what breaks when operators scale without the right controls. He is also building PropStrata, an AI-powered platform designed to sit on top of property management systems and unify data, automate workflows, and surface operational bottlenecks across the tools operators are already using. What We Cover in This Episode Why property management accounting breaks as portfolios grow The difference between a system of record and a system of action Why AppFolio, Yardi, and RealPage are built differently than QuickBooks and when each is appropriate What "source of truth" means in property management and why most operators get it wrong Why operating off bank accounts or Excel instead of your PM software creates serious risk How commingled funds and weak accounting controls open the door to embezzlement Trust accounting compliance requirements and the regulatory exposure of getting it wrong What legacy property management software does well and where AI is creating the gap How PropStrata is building a layer that sits above systems of record to standardize data and automate repetitive workflows Why verticalized AI built for real estate will outperform general AI tools in this space What automating the eviction dossier process looks like at 1,000 units What property management operations could look like in three to five years Key Insight Mo makes a point that most operators don't want to hear: embezzlement in property management is more common than people think, and weak accounting controls are the reason. When funds get commingled, reconciliations get skipped, and permissions aren't set correctly, the exposure isn't just financial sloppiness. It's a direct invitation to fraud. Proper trust accounting guardrails in platforms like AppFolio and Yardi aren't just good practice. In states like California, they're a regulatory requirement, and operating outside them can cost you your broker license. Why This Episode Matters If your reports can't explain what caused a change in performance, you are making decisions with incomplete information. Mo's framework for treating your property management software as the actual source of truth for every operational and financial decision is one of the clearest articulations of this problem we've had on the show. If you're growing a portfolio and still reconciling in Excel or running financials out of QuickBooks, this episode is a direct challenge to how you're operating.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, it's particularly annoying that numerous national political figures refuse to discuss the significant and growing Islamist threat in the United States. Islamism is the greatest cultural threat we face. What is the ruling class is doing to stop Islamists from entering the country? Are we reviewing the status of those already here who promote radical views? Conservatives need to take over at the local level and reject mosque expansions, which isn't about restricting religious freedom but defending it against Islamist intolerance of religious diversity. Meanwhile, issues like universal healthcare are falsely cast as civil rights to advance a Marxist agenda that expands “democracy” and “rights” while threatening programs like Medicare and opposing enforcement against illegal immigration; supporting candidates like Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan would harm both the state and the country. Also, Sen Chris Van Hollen is a radical nut job, Jew hater, and Israel hater. Van Hollen defends Democrats against communist labels by citing Republican attacks on FDR over Social Security. What did FDR do? FDR created internment camps of 120,000 Japanese Americans, refusing to sign a bipartisan anti-lynching bill to protect Southern votes, imposing Jewish immigration quotas during the Holocaust, and enacting socialist policies including industrial trusts and price/wage controls that prolonged the Depression, arguing socialism redistributes rather than creates wealth. Later, Wisconsin Governor candidate Francesca Hong views Thanksgiving as racist and posted in 2021 that Americans should cancel it. This is the problem with insufficiently patriotic immigrants welcomed into the Democratic Party's big tent. Later, by the skin of his teeth, Abdul El-Sayed is now the Democratic candidate for the Senate in Michigan. Early data shows El-Sayed did well with White, relatively wealthy college graduates, but not so well with union/blue collar workers and Blacks. El-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers, a good, solid candidate, in the November general election. El-Sayed will get the support of the media and he'll play down his Islamism and his association with people like Sen Bernie Sanders and Hasan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11. Let's not pretend El-Sayed is just another progressive. He's an Islamic Marxist. What Democrats have to figure out: how do you build a party around elitists? Claims from some on the fringes of the conservative movement—that younger people today face uniquely hard times due to student debt, homeownership barriers, and inflation driven by the war with Iran—are inaccurate and sound like leftist or socialist talking points. There have been far greater hardships faced by prior generations: the Great Depression's 25% unemployment, widespread business failures, and near-economic collapse, followed by World War II's draft of 16 million Americans with over 600,000 casualties under brutal conditions. Young people today simply do not have it as hard as those of 50–80 years ago - they simply don't. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
