In this New Year's Day episode of The Wright Report, Bryan offers a forward-looking briefing on the massive migrant fraud investigations now unfolding nationwide, rising unrest inside Iran, the future of human espionage in an age of AI surveillance, and new research that could dramatically strengthen the immune system this winter. A Nationwide Migrant Fraud Reckoning: Bryan previews a major investigation he is assembling on migrant fraud rings operating far beyond Minnesota. Independent journalists are uncovering suspicious nonprofit operations tied to Medicaid and other taxpayer-funded programs in states including Washington, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, and California. Bryan explains why this could become one of the biggest domestic scandals in decades, potentially involving billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars sent overseas. Why This Fraud Matters to Every Taxpayer: As Americans prepare to file their taxes, Bryan asks a blunt question. Why should citizens pay billions to Washington if that money is being stolen and routed to foreign nationals and their home countries? He argues the situation violates the most basic American principles and says the Founders rebelled over far less. Iran's Protests and a Dangerous Balancing Act: Bryan is consulting intelligence sources to assess unrest inside Iran. He explains that the regime often allows protests to burn for a time to release pressure, but the danger is letting them grow into a true revolution. The key question he is exploring is how worried the Ayatollah truly is about losing control and what signs would signal that a counter-revolution is near. The Future of Human Spying: Responding to a listener question, Bryan teases a deep dive into the future of espionage. He explains how digital exhaust, constant surveillance, and artificial intelligence make it more complicated than ever for CIA officers to recruit and protect foreign assets. He warns that hostile intelligence services can now identify, flip, and feed disinformation back to U.S. leaders, shaping decisions about war and peace. Promising Immune System Research: Bryan shares excitement about new European research showing the immune system can be reset and strengthened in just twenty-eight days. The compound used in the study is already available over the counter and is included in a product he has previously endorsed. He says the findings reinforce his commitment to only partner with products backed by real science. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: nationwide migrant fraud investigation, Medicaid nonprofit abuse states, Minnesota fraud expansion, taxpayer money overseas, Iran protests regime stability, Ayatollah counter revolution risk, future of CIA human intelligence, AI surveillance espionage, digital exhaust counterintelligence, immune system reset research Europe, over the counter immune supplement, New Year Wright Report
Get Ginny's Top 10 Books of 2025 list for FREE here Get your free 2026 tracker sheet here Check out the 1000 Hours Outside Mega Bundle that includes the 2026 Kick-Off Pack here Ginny Yurich, founder of 1000 Hours Outside, starts 2026 in the most Ginny way possible: a rare, slightly-uncomfortable solo episode chosen on purpose, because New Year's Day landed on episode 666, and she decided to “fall on the sword” herself. From there, she pulls you into the real origin story of 1000 Hours Outside: a young mom in over her head, three little kids, no sleep, and the first truly good day she'd had in years, September 2011 at a Michigan park, when four to six hours outside (a Charlotte Mason idea she initially thought was ridiculous) changed everything. This episode is a rally cry for families who want more peace, more play, more courage, and less screen-shaped childhood, plus practical ways to start tracking, building a life with “not enough time for screens,” and letting nature become the place where kids grow up incrementally… and parents learn to trust them. Along the way, Ginny shares her top 10 most meaningful books of 2025 (out of 210 books read during the year!), the quotes that steadied her this year, and why reading, walking, and outside time are “time-protection” habits in a world designed to co-opt attention. She also reads the marketing language from Replika AI out loud, because it genuinely alarms her, and makes a clear, compassionate case for choosing the real thing: real friends, real discomfort, real growth, real life. The episode closes with hope for listeners carrying heavy burdens into the new year, and ends with “Beautiful World,” a song and musical collaboration featuring Ginny's daughters because the whole point is this: childhood isn't meant to be performed on a screen. It's meant to be lived. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The 2025 Ohio State football season came to an earlier-than-expected end on New Year's Eve in a 24-14 loss to the Miami Hurricanes in the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals. The defeat ended Ryan Day's team's run at back-to-back national championships, and turned a 12-0 start, including a win over archrival Michigan, into a 12-2 final record. But despite the disappointing ending, was this still a successful season for the Buckeyes?Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that, as well as breaking down some of the key factors that led to the upset loss.

Part 1 of this two-part dive into the recent batch of released Epstein files begins with a 2020 email between prosecutors about seeing Trump's name on flight logs. From there, we delve into the banking world and learn more about key players like James Edward "Jes" Staley, a man accused of enabling suspicious financial activity, and review some of his predatory and intimate email exchanges with Epstein. Then, we meet one of Epstein's ten co-conspirators (only three of whom have been named) Ohio billionaire Les Wexner, and hear survivor Maria Farmer's statements that shed more light on the levels of his involvement. Lastly, a look at the legal filing involving allegations of a 13-year old victim who attended Michigan's Camp Interlocken in 1994, stating Epstein made contact with her as a former camper turned benefactor before introducing her to Trump at Mar-a-Lago as a "good one". Part 1 closes with documented comments from Mark Epstein to the FBI about his belief concerning his brother's death. BONUS: a rant about how the inequities of our current economic structure and tax code facilitate a "predator and prey" class system All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Does Utah have a better chance at CFP than Michigan in 2026? Las Vegas Bowl Preview Expectations for Utah in Morgan Scalley's First Game
In Episode 382 of The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast, host Adam Miller sits down with Josh Teulker, creator of the Before the Echo YouTube channel, for an in-depth conversation on traditional bowhunting, modern hunting culture, and the ethical challenges facing today's hunters. Josh shares his background growing up in a hunting family and how those early experiences shaped his approach to whitetail deer hunting and eventually led him to transition from compound bows to traditional archery. The discussion covers the differences between traditional and modern hunting styles, realistic expectations for success, and why patience, discipline, and woodsmanship still matter. The conversation dives into e-scouting, hunting pressure, and what it's like to hunt multiple states while navigating changing hunting regulations, access issues, and public land challenges. Josh and Adam also discuss the growing influence of social media on hunting, how technology is reshaping the sport, and whether innovation is helping or hurting the future of ethical bowhunting. Additional topics include Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), Michigan's hunting culture, and the importance of protecting hunting traditions while adapting to a rapidly changing landscape. This episode is packed with insight for bowhunters, traditional archers, whitetail hunters, and conservation-minded outdoorsmen who care about the long-term integrity of the sport. 00:00 Podcast Notes 02:19 Introduction02:45 Before the Echo Origin Story05:29 Traditional vs Compound Bow Hunting08:00 Growing Up in a Hunting Family10:41 Transition to Traditional Archery13:10 Bowhunting Strategies & Techniques16:06 E-Scouting & Out-of-State Hunting18:42 Locating & Tracking Whitetail Deer21:21 Expectations & Standards in Hunting23:56 Social Media & Hunting Pressure26:27 Hunting Ethics & Regulations37:37 Changes in Hunting Regulations39:01 Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)40:27 Michigan Hunting Culture42:26 Technology's Role in Hunting48:43 Future of Hunting & Access01:01:28 Family Traditions & Hunting Legacy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoEUun2B14oDuAdhWJoSEtA Painted Arrow Outdoors – BHC15 (15% off)https://www.paintedarrow.com Spartan Forge – BOWHUNTER (25% off)https://www.spartanforge.ai Latitude Outdoors -BHC (15% off)https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com Genesis 3D Printinghttps://genesis3dprinting.com BigShot Targets - BHC (10 % off)https://www.bigshottargets.com Vitalize Seedhttps://vitalizeseed.com Zinger Fletcheshttps://www.zingerfletches.com Additional partners:https://huntworthgear.comhttps://waypointtv.com/#podcast Patreon: http://bit.ly/BHCPatreon The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast – Episode 382Hunting in the Echo Chamber | Josh Teulker (Before the Echo)⏱ Episode Chapters▶️ Check Out Before the Echo

Pool Pros text questions hereIn the conclusion of Natalie Hood's conversation with Ryan Walker, the focus shifts from “selling pool stuff” to selling outcomes: experience, lifestyle, confidence, and trust. This episode pulls the curtain back on what's really happening in today's retail and builder sales environment—homeowners aren't shopping locally anymore. They're shopping globally through TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest, then walking into your store or your design meeting with Dubai-level expectations and a Michigan budget… and they still want you to make it real.Ryan breaks down why dealers and retailers can't win by being defensive, dismissive, or stuck in “this is how we've always done it.” Instead, the winning move is customer-centric discovery: show what's possible, guide the customer through tradeoffs, and give them a solution—not a shutdown. Along the way, the conversation hits pricing psychology, upselling ethically, supplier partnerships, training your staff in the off-season, and why one bad review can punch harder than ten great ones.What This Episode CoversSelling the vision, not just the pool Homeowners aren't buying “a body of water.” They're buying backyard life that replaces travel, replaces entertainment, and becomes the family experience hub. Pools (and even above-ground setups) have evolved into full environments—decks, lighting, wellness add-ons, the whole vibe.Why “cheap” isn't the conversation anymore With pool projects regularly crossing the $100K mark, obsessing over saving $50–$200 can be meaningless against the total investment (and the loan). The real job is to help the buyer spend smarter, not just spend less.Social media has changed the customer's brain Customers aren't looking at “what sells in this zip code.” They're looking at what looks insane on a reel. Dealers who don't adapt to global inspiration trends risk sounding outdated or dismissive—and that's how you lose the room (and the sale).Dealers must stop taking trends personally If a customer brings you an idea that's unrealistic or “not right for your market,” the answer isn't a slammed door. The answer is:explain why it's hard,explain what it would require,and offer an alternative solution that gets the same feeling with fewer headaches.How to upsell without being gross Ryan points out that strong sales isn't pressure—it's clarity. Customers want you to guide them. If you can retain attention, build trust, and connect features to outcomes, you can justify premium choices without acting like a carnival barker.Heat pump myth-busting (yes, even in cold markets) The episode calls out the “heat pumps don't work here” mindset and reframes it: heat pumps work in Canada, and Canada is colder than Michigan. Translation: the barrier isn't physics—it's explanation and expectation-setting.Supplier relationships: stop waiting to be visited Reps cover huge territories and get flooded with requests. If you want training, product support, or attention—ask for it. Call. Get the rep's number from the distributor. The hungriest dealers get the most support because they create the reason to show up.Off-season is training season Retail's biggest killer: bad reviews Training staff f Support the showThank you so much for listening!

Last January, I set a simple- but uncomfortable- goal: walk outside every single day for the month.Not for more steps.Not for better fitness results.But because I had gotten a little too comfortable staying inside.Michigan winters don't exactly make that easy. Below-zero wind chills, travel days, tight schedules- it took grit. But I did it. Every day. And then… I kept going.What started as a 30-day challenge quietly turned into a habit.Then an identity.And eventually- a 365-day streak.In this episode, I'm reflecting on my year of outdoor walks:• The brutally cold days• The travel days that required creativity• The almost-midnight walks to “save the streak”• And the moments that made it all worth it- sunrises, fall evenings, quiet woods, walk-and-talks, and miles with my dog and my familyBut I'm also sharing something important: why I'm intentionally letting the streak end.Because even healthy habits can become unhealthy when they turn rigid.Because “all-or-nothing” thinking doesn't just show up in dieting- it shows up in fitness, routines, and goals, too.And because real, sustainable behavior change requires flexibility-not perfection.If you're heading into a new year thinking about habits, consistency, or becoming “a different version of yourself,” this episode will help you rethink what success actually looks like- and how identity is built over time.This one isn't about walking. It's about who you become when you show up- imperfectly, consistently, and on purpose.Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d
