Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy dig into Jon Ossoff's on-the-record pushback against 2028 presidential speculation, including what Patricia heard directly from the senator and why both of them think the chatter says as much about the Democratic Party's search for a leader as it does about Ossoff himself. They also size up the Republican Senate runoff, now days away, with Buddy Carter's 25 percent of the primary vote still up for grabs and both Mike Collins and Derek Dooley working to lock in his supporters before June 16th. The governor's race gets attention too, as Rick Jackson looks to consolidate Chris Carr's voters while navigating the volatility of invoking Brad Raffensperger's name with Trump still on the sidelines.

Greg Bluestein examines the high-stakes Republican U.S. Senate runoff between Mike Collins and Derek Dooley, arguing that the race has become a broader test of the future direction of Georgia's GOP. He breaks down the competing visions driving the campaign, the key voter blocs that could decide the outcome, and what the runoff could reveal about the balance of power between Brian Kemp's coalition-building approach and Donald Trump's influence over Republican primary voters. Greg also looks at Democratic runoff battles, the emerging fight over Georgia's gas tax and rising fuel prices, and why Congressman Brian Jack is working to build the next generation of Georgia Republican leaders.

Mike Collins is the Founder and CEO of Alumni Ventures, a leading venture capital firm that enables individual accredited investors to access diversified venture portfolios and co-invest alongside top-tier VCs. He is a serial entrepreneur and experienced venture capitalist who has founded multiple companies, including Kid Galaxy, Big Idea Group, and RDM. He also launched Green D Ventures, Alumni Ventures' first alumni fund, where he oversaw the portfolio as Managing Partner. Mike has spent his career helping investors and entrepreneurs build innovative, high-growth businesses, and holds degrees from Dartmouth College and Harvard Business School. In this episode… What does it really take to succeed in venture capital, where uncertainty is constant, and failure is often part of the process? What separates investors who consistently build strong portfolios from those who don't? For Mike Collins, a seasoned venture capitalist and serial entrepreneur, success in venture capital comes from focusing on people over pure ideas and building disciplined, diversified portfolios to manage inevitable risk. He highlights that early-stage investing is less about certainty and more about judgment, trust, and pattern recognition developed over time. A key takeaway is that long-term success stems from striking a balance between conviction and humility and accepting that many investments will fail while a few yield outsized returns. He also emphasizes the value of co-investing and leveraging a global investor community to expand access and insight. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Mike Collins, Founder and CEO of Alumni Ventures, to discuss venture capital, portfolio building, and entrepreneurial lessons. They talk about betting on people over ideas, managing risk through diversification, and lessons from sports and investing. Mike also shares insights on co-investing strategies and democratizing access to venture capital.

It's now abundantly clear that not only are the Georgia Republican Party's two Senate options of poor candidate quality with mid-20th century 'Jim Crow' vision, they're corrupt. Even worse for the Georgia GOP, they're golden boy - governor Brian Kemp - has been pulled into the woodchipper and exposed as well. With good local journalism disappearing - even in major hubs like Atlanta - it's important to pay attention to when it's still covering stories like these. The whole "Dooley-Kemp-other Dooley money funnel" story brought to light last week by WXIA-TV's Doug Richards was actually touched on in a Substack piece by Georgia Politics & Polling (no author named). Still, hat-tip!That sullies the already mediocre shine on the campaign of failed football coach Derek Dooley, son of UGA football legend Vince. It's also tarnished the perception that Brian Kemp is an unblemished 'rising star' with 2028 aspirations. Rep. Mike Collins, however, has long seemed to have issues with the company he keeps - notably his chief staffer and campaign manager Brandon Phillips. If Brandon's not making repulsive statements about rape victims being "sloppy seconds," he's making sure his girlfriend gets paid via taxpayer dollars through an internship where she did nothing. Then there's another staffer - Kip Talley - working double-time to free a Holocaust-denier - and bragging he'd do so in a group chat.A whole lot of 'ick' on that run-off ballot.- - - Speaking of run-offs, I'd opted not to weigh in on Georgia Democratic run-offs because I don't see bad options; but the lieutenant governor's race calls for commentary. Listen, I've no issues with ambition, but former Senator Nabilah Parkes put hers above her constituents, and her debate performance did little to make her look as a) a superior choice or b) a likable candidate (and she's a likable person, so that's baffling). Leaving your post is one thing; leaving the middle of a General Assembly session is another. Trying to explain that your absence means nothing because the other side is the majority and will ram new maps through anyway smacks of 'defeatism' and her opponent, state Senator Josh McLaurin is right to point that out.

Last Thursday, WXIA-TV's Doug Richards reported on findings that showed a bit of a taxpayer cash corruption loop showing itself between Governor Brian Kemp and the Dooley family, where Brine influenced upwards of $27 million in school safety contracts, taking donations from Daniel Dooley and funneling it back to Daniel's brother Derek Dooley's Senate campaign. Meanwhile, Mike Collins had to cut ties (finally!) with Congressional staffer and campaign manager Brandon Phillips after a social media comment calling a Dooley staffer "Matt Lauer's sloppy seconds" and “a Yankee with poor judgment in women and GA politics.” That Dooley staffer - Brooke Nevils, came forward recently alleging being raped by former the former NBC and TODAY show host Matt Lauer and revealed attempting suicide afterwards.I mean, sure it's low, but Phillips LIVES "low." As Patricia Murphy pointed out in her AJC op/ed, Phillips has been involved in bar fights and dog-kicking allegations. He's scum, but he's popular GOP scum, having ties to GOP gubernatorial hopeful Rick Jackson and Rep. Clay Fuller from Georgia's 14th Congressional district, along with lieutenant gubernatorial hopeful Sen. Greg Dolezal. Meanwhile, the joint campaign appearance with former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Senator Jon Ossoff stood in stark contrast at the Tabernacle Sunday, giving both candidates an opportunity to tee off on those scandals and on the current state ot Trump 2.0. I have both speeches in the show to review.

Sugar is everywhere, socially approved, and often handed out as comfort, reward, and love. That's exactly why it can be so hard to spot when it stops being “a treat” and starts acting like an addiction. I'm Dr. Casey Grover, and I sit down with Mike Collins, known as the Sugar Free Man, for a clear-eyed talk about what sugar addiction looks like in real people's lives and why willpower is such an unreliable tool when cravings take over.We get into the recovery lens: triggers, cravings, relapse language, and the emotional roots of using sugar to self-soothe. Mike shares how his own family history shaped his relationship with sweets, how his coaching and meeting-based community grew during COVID, and why support groups can be the difference between “trying again” and actually changing behavior. We also talk about who shows up for help, why so many people seek weight loss or type 2 diabetes relief first, and how diet culture has often missed the point.Then we go deeper on the science Mike leans on, especially fructose. We discuss why fructose may be a key driver of cravings, how it's processed in the liver, and why gut health topics like "leaky gut" get brought up in the sugar conversation. Finally, we compare moderation vs abstinence, how eating disorder treatment can clash with sugar-free protocols, and how finding healthier dopamine through exercise can support long-term recovery.If this conversation helps you see your own pattern more clearly, subscribe, share it with someone who's stuck in the loop, and leave a review so more people can find the show.To learn more about Mike's work:https://sugaraddiction.comhttps://www.skool.com/no-sugar-nation/aboutTo contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Welcome to the age of AI slopaganda, where the synthetic videos are nearly indistinguishable from the real, the real videos are getting more suspect, and everyone is one fake Instagram Reel away from becoming the Facebook boomer they once mocked. Liv examines the newest iterations of AI-generated political propaganda, including Trump posting a fake video of himself throwing Stephen Colbert in a dumpster, “Swifties for Trump,” Mike Collins' AI Jon Ossoff, Spencer Pratt's Batman campaign ads, Iranian Lego anti-Hegseth videos, fake Netanyahu death images, deepfakes targeting women in politics, the Dean Phillips/Biden robocall, Gavin Newsom's JD Vance couch slop, and Cuomo's anti-Mamdani AI ads. We explore how “satire,” misinformation, engagement bait, and campaign strategy are collapsing into one ugly sludge pile.

Apparently poor people can't budget for food anymore, and it's not about their economic situation but about their economic literacy. Plus, Mike Collins is the GOP candidate we don't need…unless you want six more years of Jon Ossoff.

What if sugar isn't just making your child "a little hyper" but actually changing how their brain functions? In this episode of The Soaring Child podcast, Dana Kay sits down with Mike Collins, a leading expert in sugar addiction and recovery, to unpack what sugar is really doing inside your child's brain. With over 40 years of experience and tens of thousands of detoxes behind him, Mike shares why sugar may be far more than a harmless treat and how it can impact focus, mood, impulse control, and behavior in ways most parents have never been told. You'll hear eye-opening insights on how sugar affects dopamine and the brain's reward system, why cravings can feel impossible to control, and what makes sugar uniquely addictive compared to other substances. Dana also brings this conversation back to real life, helping parents understand how to recognize signs of sugar sensitivity in their child and what to do next. If you've ever wondered whether sugar could be playing a bigger role in your child's ADHD symptoms, this episode will give you practical next steps.

This was one of the most fun debates I've had.Mike Collins doesn't believe calorie deficits exist.Not "are hard to sustain." Don't exist. As in, the framework itself is wrong.That's where we ended up about 20 minutes into this episode, and it turned into of the more interesting debates I've had on the show.Mike runs SugarDetox.com.He's worked with around 60,000 people.And his whole approach is built on the idea that sugar (and flour, and caffeine) functions more like a drug than a food.For about a third of the population, he says, moderation isn't possible. They're biochemically incapable of stopping once they start.I come at it from the flexible side. Whole foods most of the time, room for the foods you actually enjoy, and an understanding that calorie deficits still matter even when nobody likes hearing it.So, we went at it.And here's the thing — I didn't agree with a lot of what he said. But some of it landed.His point about selection bias was a real one. My clients finds me because they want flexibility. His finds him because they've tried flexibility and it didn't work. Those are two different populations, and neither of us is going to fully understand the other one's clients.Some points we debated:Does eating fewer calories than you burn actually cause weight loss — or do sugar and flour mess with your body in ways that calorie math can't explain?Is sugar addiction a real thing people can be diagnosed with — or just emotional eating wearing a fancier name?How do scientists actually measure calories in food?Can people genuinely not stop once they start eating sugar — or can anyone learn to moderate with the right approach?Are eating disorder treatment centers helping people by letting them eat sugar and bread again — or making things worse?Does eating "a little bit of everything" actually work long-term — or does it just give people an excuse to never really change?Is the way bodybuilders eat (lots of carbs, then cutting hard before a show) dangerous — or is it just intense training that works?Was my own history of binge eating an addiction, a way of coping with loneliness, or both?We disagreed on how weight loss actually works, but we agreed on more than I expected — that sugar is a problem, behavior matters more than meal plans, your community changes your outcomes, and the person delivering the message matters as much as the message.I referenced a few research articles in my closing monologue that back the flexible side. They're linked below if you want to actually read them instead of taking my word for it.If you've been wondering whether you're someone who genuinely can't moderate — or if you've tried flexible dieting and it's not working — this one will be useful.If you just want to hear two coaches disagree hard (respectfully) — also worth a listen.Find Mike Collins at SugarDetox.com​And on Instagram @realsugarfreeman

Mike Collins is a serial entrepreneur turned venture capitalist who has spent his career at the intersection of technology, innovation, and investing. Starting at a VC firm right out of college in 1986, he went on to found companies like Kid Galaxy and Big Idea Group before launching Alumni Ventures in 2013 — now one of the most active VC firms in the world with nearly $1.6 billion raised from individual investors exclusively.In this episode, Mike and Jeff explore what most founders misunderstand about venture capital, how to get into tier-one deals, and why diversification in venture is non-negotiable. Mike shares what he looks for in founders (hint: it's not the pitch deck), why niche is your unfair advantage, and what it really takes to raise capital in a tough market. He also breaks down why hard problems create defensible businesses, why "code is no longer a moat," and why constraints are often the secret ingredient to better companies.Whether you're a founder raising your first round or a seasoned operator rethinking your go-to-market, this episode delivers grounded, no-fluff insight from someone who has seen entrepreneurship from every angle.Key Takeaways4:07 — What most founders misunderstand about how venture capital actually works6:03 — Why individual investors deserve access to venture — and how Alumni Ventures was born from that belief7:42 — The genesis story: 100 Dartmouth alums banding together as the first fund16:18 — How to get started with Alumni Ventures: join the syndicate (it's free)19:18 — Why we all know the right investing principles but still get it wrong — and what smart investors do differently23:04 — The two signals that tell Mike a founder is worth leaning in on: unique vision + rate of learning27:17 — The #1 pitch mistake founders make: not getting granular about the customer experience29:31 — Why being afraid to show your product to customers is one of the costliest mistakes founders make32:50 — The cultural decision that shaped Alumni Ventures: owned entirely by the team and investors38:41 — What not to waste time talking about in a VC pitch: competition and TAM39:45 — The counterintuitive thing VCs actually want to hear: what you haven't figured out yet41:11 — "Code is no longer a moat" — why traditional competitive advantages are evaporating fast45:09 — The single most important thing a founder can do to improve their fundraising odds: get a customer47:32 — Why constraints are often the catalyst for the best innovationTweetable Quotes"Ship, learn, repeat. That's so true of being a successful entrepreneur. It's the rate of learning — and you can't learn unless you're trying stuff." — Mike Collins"Don't be afraid of being a niche. Do your niche really well, have a super targeted customer, and deliver the heck out of a product they love. If you can do that, you can always expand." — Mike Collins"Being afraid of showing your stuff to your customer is one of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make." — Mike Collins"We want to hear what you're doing that's really hard and you haven't figured out yet. If it's really easy, you're gonna have 12 startups trying to knock it out." — Mike Collins"Get a customer. That's the answer. Go find somebody who wants what you're building and convince them to buy it." — Mike Collins"Code is no longer a moat. A lot of the competitive advantages that have been traditional are just evaporating almost overnight." — Mike Collins"Rule one: don't run out of money. Never forget rule number one." — Mike Collins"I have seen as many companies fail because they had too much money as not enough. The best innovation comes from constraint." — Mike CollinsSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Venture capital requires a portfolio mindset — not a lottery ticket. The math demands at least 50 companies, ideally 100+. One-off deals from your accountant's cousin aren't investing — they're gambling. Build a diversified portfolio the same way you would with public equities.2. The slope of improvement matters more than where you start. Mike looks for founders who learn faster than everyone else — not those with the best initial idea. Google started in 17th place. What separated them was the rate of improvement. Show VCs your trajectory, not just your position.3. Start smaller than feels comfortable. Too many founders try to tackle massive markets before proving anything. A tight niche with a rabid early customer base is far more fundable than a vague TAM slide. Wedge in, win there, then expand.4. Solving hard problems is your real competitive moat. In an era where code is no longer a moat and AI is commoditizing execution, the companies that win are the ones solving genuinely difficult, multi-dimensional problems. Hard things take time, money, and grit — which is exactly what keeps competitors out.5. Fundraising is half your job — treat it like it. Even the day after you close a round, you should know what KPIs will unlock the next one. Maintain investor relationships year-round, not just when you need money. Plan A, B, C, and D. Know your burn and runway cold.6. Alignment between team, investors, and customers creates durability. Alumni Ventures chose to be owned entirely by the team and its investor-customers. That structural alignment shapes culture, focus, and decision-making at every level. Build companies where incentives point in the same direction.Guest Resourcesmike@av.vcwww.av.vchttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-collins-362100/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Chuck Todd opens with the unraveling of Trump's Iran peace talks and the president's threat of a naval blockade, breaking down why the administration has far less leverage than it's letting on, why Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz puts Trump in a corner with only two real choices—escalate or capitulate—and why markets have been dangerously complacent as the economic hit accelerates and consumer confidence sinks below COVID-era lows. From there, Chuck digs into the collapse of Eric Swalwell's career amid sexual abuse allegations and the bipartisan push to expel him along with three other members of Congress, the wide-open and underwhelming California governor's race left behind by a weak Democratic field and Tom Steyer's charmless self-promotion, the curious Roger Stone–Tulsi Gabbard connection and their shared Russia sympathies, and Trump's promise of preemptive pardons for White House staff—making the case for why Congress urgently needs a commission on the pardon power. Then, conservative talk radio host and Georgia political commentator Martha Zoller joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of politics in the Peach State and beyond. Martha and Chuck dig into why non-MAGA Republicans remain viable in Georgia, how Trump's influence has reshaped the GOP (and arguably handed Democrats two Senate seats), David Perdue's identity crisis between the Trump and Romney wings of the party, and the current landscape of Georgia's gubernatorial and Senate primaries—including why the governor's race may be Mike Collins' to lose and how Rick Jackson's entry has shaken things up. The conversation then broadens to the deeper fault lines running through American politics: the cultural divide between traditional and progressive family values, why millennials feel left behind, neither party's failure to address affordability, and how media saturation and the collapse of bipartisan relationships in Congress have made compromise feel like treason. Martha and Chuck also explore whether Brian Kemp has presidential ambitions, why it's still harder for Republican women to break through, Jon Ossoff's political strengths, and whether figures like Obama and Trump are really two sides of the same disruption-hungry coin. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the Bay of Pigs debacle under John F. Kennedy and why that event still reverberates today, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment. Thank you Wildgrain for sponsoring.

We welcome back Luemas from Chant it Down Radio to discuss his new documentary series, Sacred Sight, where they explore the pyramids around the world and seek to uncover insights into our hidden ancient historyAbout Sacred Sight:The documentary Sacred Sight is going to investigate and explore the cover-up of our true ancient history, uncover our current present situation, explore new clues and sites around the world that point to the lost high knowledge ancient civilization that once existed globally. Sacred Sight takes place all across the world, Egypt, England, Malta, Bosnia, Peru, Australia, Oahu, Maui, Big island and Kauai.We are taking a look at the lost ancient megalithic global civilization, that once spanned this Earth, and has been hidden from us by the controllers of this world. We now live in a world as “captive humanity” because of the blurring of our ancient roots. This documentary sets out to make history in finding pyramids on 4 Hawaiian islands, where there are currently no ties to the lost ancient megalithic world, but we go off of clues, and echoes, that there are some hidden in Hawaii.When we travel to Australia, we connect this puzzle to the largest continent that is said to have no ties to the megalithic map. This documentary features, Triffon of Unlocking The Code, Ceb Bland, Zach Royer, Mike Collins, Nikianna Jones, Paul Anthony Wallis, Ole Dammegard, Sean McCann, William Ramsey, Bob Tuskin, Double A and Heather Arnold.

In this final episode of Season 6 of The Living Artist podcast, we have decided to do a "Blast From The Past" episode, featuring an older, and never before heard interview, from around the time that the podcast all began. In this interview, the tables are turned and Preston is the one being interviewed by Mike Collins, of ShockBoxx gallery fame. During this interview, Preston talks about the business of art, building an artistic presence, his darker origins, fitting in with different communities, not taking yourself too seriously, movie references galore, podcast origins, and more. Above all, this interview embodies having fun with the interview process in general. We hope that you get something out of this episode, and stay tuned for Season 7, just around the corner!

President Donald Trump returned to Georgia and largely left the 2026 landscape unchanged. Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy break down his renewed endorsement of Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the governor's race, his decision to stay neutral in the GOP Senate primary, and what that means for Mike Collins, Buddy Carter and Derek Dooley. They also unpack a federal judge's ruling that blocks Jones from spending leadership committee funds and how that could reshape the race. And they examine Trump's revived claims about the 2020 election and calls to scrutinize Fulton County's elections, along with the political fallout for both parties.

This Sunday we're joined by Mike Collins, the filmmaker, explorer, and force behind Wandering Wolf — a channel that's been quietly rewriting the conversation around ancient history. Mike has travelled to every major ancient site on Earth, capturing cinematic footage that exposes patterns, anomalies, and engineering feats that mainstream narratives politely step around. From megalithic precision to global architectural echoes, he documents the kind of evidence that raises eyebrows — and questions. In this episode we'll dig into: The ancient sites they don't want you asking about Global patterns that shouldn't exist Why so much ancient engineering still can't be explained What the real story of human history might look like If you're tired of recycled documentaries and safe, sanitised history, this is the conversation you've been waiting for. Dare to see history anew.

In Episode 409 Ken and Dave discuss the new man in the gubernatorial race, another congressional seat up for grabs, endorsements roll in for the fourteenth congressional district race, mid session updates from the Gold Dome, the story of the week from Tucson, Mike Collins speaks up about the proposed ICE detention center, and the airport fuel spill.

On this "Charlotte Talks," we listen to the candidate forum WFAE hosted Tuesday evening with two of the men running for sheriff in Mecklenburg County. Both are Democrats — no Republican is running.

Top Stories for January 29th Publish Date: January 29th PRE-ROLL: GCPS From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, January 29th and Happy birthday to Tom Selleck I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. UGA’s online degree programs rank among nation’s best Archer students walk out of school to protest ICE actions State Rep. Scott Hilton files bill to protect kindergarten 'redshirting' Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING STORY 1: UGA’s online degree programs rank among nation’s best The University of Georgia’s online programs are making waves again, landing several top-10 spots in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 Best Online Programs rankings. UGA held strong at No. 18 overall, keeping its place among the nation’s top 20. What’s behind the rankings? The annual survey looks at things like student engagement, faculty credentials, tech, and peer reviews. And UGA? It’s shining. The numbers tell the story: UGA’s online retention ranking climbed to No. 4, and its graduation ranking jumped from No. 20 to No. 7. The Mary Frances Early College of Education continues to lead the charge, offering programs that help Georgia’s teachers grow their skills while staying in the classroom. Highlights include: No. 3 in Best Online Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction (up from No. 11) No. 3 in Educational/Instructional Media Design No. 4 in Special Education No. 6 in Educational Administration and Policy UGA’s programs for veterans also earned recognition, ranking No. 11 for making education more accessible through the GI Bill and other financial aid. The Terry College of Business wasn’t left out either—its online master’s in business and technology ranked No. 23 nationally. STORY 2: Archer students walk out of school to protest ICE actions At Archer High School, Sandra Brown-Peraza says immigrant students live with a constant, gnawing fear. Every day, stepping off campus feels like stepping into the unknown. “We’ve seen ICE waiting outside schools—places that are supposed to be safe,” she said. That fear boiled over on Tuesday when hundreds of students walked out, chanting “No more ICE.” Organizer Nehemiah Hamilton estimated 800 students braved the freezing cold to protest. The protest wasn’t just about raids—it was about lives lost. Students spoke of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, U.S. citizens killed by ICE agents in Minnesota. “They’re killing innocent people,” said Sasha Molnar. Not everyone supports the protests. U.S. Rep. Mike Collins dismissed them as “woke indoctrination,” but Hamilton fired back: “We’re not safe. We’re not backing down.” Meanwhile, Gwinnett Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan stood with the students, saying, “Their voices demand our empathy and care.” STORY 3: State Rep. Scott Hilton files bill to protect kindergarten 'redshirting' A new bill could give Georgia parents the final say on when their kids start kindergarten—at 5 or 6. Right now, the law says kids must be in school by 6, but it’s up to local districts to decide if a 6-year-old can start in kindergarten or must go straight to first grade. State Rep. Scott Hilton introduced House Bill 1048 to clear up the confusion. The bill comes after Gwinnett County Public Schools stirred controversy by ending its long-standing practice of allowing “redshirting,” where parents delay kindergarten until age 6. GCPS now sends all 6-year-olds straight to first grade, even if they’ve never been in a classroom. Parents pushed back hard, arguing that some kids—especially younger ones—need that extra year to mature. GCPS has hinted at a compromise, with an “expedited student support team” process to decide on a case-by-case basis if redshirted kids can go to kindergarten. But it’s no guarantee. If Hilton’s bill passes, though? That decision would be in parents’ hands, not the district’s. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We’ll be right back Break 2: KIA Mall Of Ga - GCPL Passport STORY 4: Gwinnett Stripers hiring gameday staff for 2026 The Gwinnett Stripers are gearing up for the 2026 season and looking for gameday staff to join the team.

STORY 5: Nalani Gainey reaches 2,000 career points in Seckinger victory It was a big night for Nalani Gainey—2,000 career points and counting. Oh, and Seckinger’s girls basketball team took down Chattahoochee 47-32 in Region 7-AAAAA action on Tuesday. Not a bad way to celebrate. Gainey was everywhere, racking up 24 points, five rebounds, five assists, five steals, and two blocks. The Jaguars, now 14-8 overall and 6-3 in the region, leaned on her leadership—and she delivered. Savan Johnson chipped in eight points and three boards, while Janyla Reed and Selah Wells dominated the paint with a combined 16 rebounds and four blocks. Titi Makinde added three points to round it out. GLADIATORS: The Atlanta Gladiators edged out the Orlando Solar Bears 2-1 Monday night in a gritty ECHL matchup at the Kia Center. It wasn’t pretty, but it was effective—and it keeps Atlanta rolling. Orlando struck first, capitalizing on a 5-on-3 power play midway through the first. Jack Adams buried a backdoor pass to make it 1-0, and the Solar Bears carried that lead into the second, outshooting Atlanta 9-6. But the Gladiators answered. Jack Matier ripped a power-play rocket from the point to tie it 1-1 in the second, with assists from Mike McNamee and Ryan Francis. Both teams traded chances—power plays, odd-man rushes, you name it—but the goalies stood tall. After two periods, Orlando had a 25-11 shot advantage, but the score stayed deadlocked. Then came the dagger. Early in the third, Alex Young sniped one short side off a slick feed from Isak Walther, giving Atlanta the 2-1 lead. From there, it was all about Semptimphelter, who slammed the door with 31 saves, earning his 12th win of the season. The Gladiators improved to 25-9-1, extending their point streak to five games. Next up? A three-game showdown with the Everblades in Estero. Buckle up—it’s going to be a battle. We’ll be right back.

Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy break down the political fallout from a fatal federal immigration enforcement shooting in Minneapolis and why it's sending ripples through Georgia politics. They explain how the incident has prompted rare pushback from some Republicans, unsettled longtime GOP allies like gun rights groups, and raised new concerns about civil liberties as immigration enforcement expands into U.S. cities. They also look at how immigration is shaping Georgia's U.S. Senate race, with Sen. Jon Ossoff pressing Republican challengers to either defend or distance themselves from President Trump's approach. Greg and Patricia walk through how candidates like Mike Collins and Buddy Carter are embracing the White House line, why Derek Dooley's silence is drawing notice, and why immigration could become one of the most defining issues in a closely divided state heading into 2026.

In this episode, we sit down with Congressman Mike Collins from Georgia, who is leading the charge on groundbreaking environmental permitting reform. Discover how this legislation aims to streamline the permitting process, potentially unleashing trillions of dollars in projects and addressing the housing crisis. Collins shares insights on bipartisan support for this initiative, its impact on the economy, and the importance of making life more affordable for Americans. Then, we analyze the recent election results in Miami, where the city elected its first Democrat mayor in 30 years, and what this could mean for the upcoming midterms. Join us as we speak with Rich Baris, Director of Big Data Poll, who shares insights on the current political landscape, the importance of messaging for the Republican Party, and the pivotal issues that could define the 2026 elections.
