    I carved my name on a bullet......because a thousand paper cuts had me bleeding out: no sleep at a busy house, a crumbling relationship, financial troubles, a body and mind breaking down, and losing a brother. In this raw conversation with Sammy Freyta (LPC, ATR, First Responder Counselor & firefighter spouse), we break down how that slow grind happens and how to start climbing back... one honest step at a time.What You'll Learn:Why it's not “one bad call.” How years of small hits—sleep loss, a dying home life, finances, grief—pile up until you can't think straight.Moral injury in plain talk. Sammy's “torn bicep” analogy for your brain: ignore small strains and it tears.Self-care vs. soul care. Daily basics (sleep, food, movement, sunlight, connection) vs. deeper resets that actually refill you.Sleep that fights back. Blackout the room, keep it cold, phone off at night—why stimulation wrecks your recovery.Alcohol isn't a fix. It numbs now, wrecks sleep and anxiety later. Why it made things worse.Control vs. relief. The bullet as a symbol of control—and the truth that most of us want relief, not death. If you're a firefighter who feels eroded—tired, foggy, angry, and carrying more than you say—this one's for you.Support the show

    Today we're sharing Arthur Brooks' keynote from Restore this last weekend. This message was so powerful—it will stop you in your tracks, and feels so essential for this exact moment. We believe it needs to be heard everywhere—in our homes, our communities, and across the country—so we're sharing it with you now.This year we gathered at Utah Valley University for Restore, where just two weeks earlier Charlie Kirk was assassinated while addressing a large crowd. So soon after such horrific violence, the campus itself carried a real weight of grief and uncertainty. Arthur walked straight into that heaviness with so much clarity and conviction—and called us toward a powerful vision of moral courage and discipleship.His message was bold. He confronted unflinchingly what's really breaking us apart—not political division, but the deeper poison of contempt. And then he challenged us with this: Moral courage isn't standing up to the people you disagree with—moral courage is standing up to your own side on behalf of those you disagree with.Arthur says tolerance and civility are too low a bar. The real standard is much higher. It's the Sermon on the Mount. It's loving our enemies—not as a feeling, but as radical, concrete, countercultural action.Arthur wove together science, story, faith, and humor into something deeply personal and urgently needed. His challenge was clear: if we want a different kind of country, we have to become a different kind of people.This felt like a spark. Now the work of discipleship begins. We also want to mention that you can watch this presentation on our youtube channel. Arthur is a super engaging presenter and we strongly recommend that you watch this one. If you bought a ticket for Restore this year, we will email you the recordings as soon we they're edited!

    Hospital Bills to Wilderness Survival: Real-Life Stories That Could Save Your Money or Your Life

    This week we cover topics from watching Hospital Bills and how to save money to news of Wilderness survival and new policy, record-breaking hunts to mythbusting jellyfish. Real-life stories that could save your life or keep money in your wallet. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! How to Save Money on Hospital and Insurance Bills — Even When You're Fully Covered When you're diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer, the last thing you want to worry about is money. But between insurance coverage, hospital billing departments, and ongoing treatments, out-of-pocket costs can spiral — even when you're fully insured. In 2021, I was diagnosed with cancer. I underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy and 8 weeks of daily radiation. While my insurance was a blessing, I quickly discovered that being covered doesn't mean you're not vulnerable to costly billing mistakes — ones that could cost you thousands if you're not paying attention. Why You Must Compare Your EOB With Hospital Bills — Line by Line One of the most important lessons I learned: Always compare your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance provider to the bill from your hospital or healthcare provider. Here's what happened to me: Even after I had hit my out-of-pocket deductible, I noticed monthly hospital charges averaging around $900 in my online billing portal. After comparing the EOB to the hospital bills, I saw that some treatments weren't even being submitted to my insurance company. Instead, I was being billed directly — as if I had no coverage at all. I called my insurance company, who confirmed they hadn't received claims for those charges. Then I contacted the hospital's billing department and was told each time that it was a “mistake,” and they would resubmit. Had I not caught this, I could have paid over $10,000 in wrongful charges — with little chance of a refund later. Pro Tip: Don't Automatically Pay Medical Bills Without Verifying It's tempting to just pay the bill and be done with it — especially when you're overwhelmed and just trying to get through treatments. But trust your gut. Instead: Wait to receive your EOB before paying anything. Compare dates, services, and costs between the EOB and your hospital bill. Call your insurance company if anything doesn't line up. Then, contact your healthcare provider's billing department and request that charges be re-submitted if needed. Always Ask: "Has This Been Submitted to My Insurance?" Make it your mantra when speaking to any healthcare billing department: “Has this claim been submitted to my insurance company?” If they say no or “it was a mistake,” ask for proof of submission and a timeline. It can take weeks or even months for a corrected bill to show up — so document every call and keep all emails or confirmations. Human Error and AI Mistakes Are More Common Than You Think In today's digital world, hospitals and insurers often rely on automated systems for billing. But that doesn't mean the process is error-free. In fact, it may be worse. You might encounter: Incorrect coding of procedures Claims not submitted at all Duplicate billing Coverage miscalculations That's why your personal oversight is essential — especially when you're dealing with ongoing care. How to Protect Yourself from Costly Healthcare Billing Mistakes Here's a quick checklist to help you save money and protect your finances during a medical journey: Know your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum Track every treatment and procedure in a personal log Check your EOBs monthly and match them with bills Dispute errors right away — don't wait Keep records of every call and conversation Ask for itemized bills from providers Request written confirmation of any billing correction Final Thoughts: Be Your Own Advocate — It Could Save You Thousands Between AI systems, human error, and overloaded billing departments, even those with full insurance coverage can fall into financial traps. The stress of calling weekly to fix these issues took a toll, but in the end, it saved me thousands of dollars. The bottom line? Be proactive. Be persistent. And never assume a bill is correct just because it looks official. If you're navigating medical bills or complex treatments, you're not alone. If I hadn't spoken up, I would have unknowingly overpaid by thousands. Don't be afraid to double-check, question, and challenge what doesn't look right. Your health matters — and so does your wallet. 14-Year-Old Girl Makes Pennsylvania Hunting History with Record Bull Elk We've got a record-breaking hunting story that's as heartwarming as it is impressive. According to Outdoor Life, fourteen-year-old Samantha Bartlett just became the youngest hunter ever to tag a bull elk in Pennsylvania — and she did it with a single, well-placed shot from her crossbow! It all happened in the early morning hours of September 16, deep in the mountains of north-central PA. Samantha and her dad, Noel, had already spent three long days hiking and hunting, holding out for the right bull. On the fourth day, it finally came together. After hearing two bulls fighting at dawn, Samantha and her guide crept through tall grass and waited. With a few cow calls, a massive bull came trotting in. At 40 yards, Samantha took the shot — and nailed it. The 6x7 bull elk went down within 100 yards, and the rest is history. The animal was estimated at 800 pounds, and the rack green-scored at 310 inches. Getting the bull out? That was a whole different story. The team dragged it downhill for four hours — no vehicles allowed — proving once again that the hunt doesn't end with the shot. Her bull was officially checked at a game station in Benezette, where state officials confirmed Samantha's place in the record books. This big moment was made possible by a lucky draw for a limited bull elk tag — and by a new law allowing Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania for the first time, giving young hunters like Samantha more opportunities. What's next for her? She's got her sights set on the “Pennsylvania Quad Trophy” — elk, black bear, turkey, and deer — all with a crossbow. Talk about ambitious! Moral of the story? Don't underestimate a determined young hunter and her crossbow.

On Monday, Sept. 22, the man became separated from his group near the Three Sisters Trailhead in the Rawah Wilderness. The last anyone heard from him was a text saying he was lost, just before 3:30 p.m. His phone later went dark, and with winter weather rolling in, it was too dangerous for search teams to head out that night. By the next day, over 20 agencies — including Search and Rescue teams, deputies, and wildlife officials — launched a full-scale search in snowy, cold, and windy conditions. Air support was grounded, and rescuers battled through the backcountry on foot. Despite the brutal storm and tough terrain, the search effort continued into a second day. Then, on the afternoon of Wednesday, Sept. 24, hope came from above: the hunter was able to place several 911 calls, helping rescuers pinpoint his location. At around 1 p.m., air support spotted him — alive and in good health. So how did he make it? The hunter credited his survival to his military training, staying calm, building a fire, and using his sleeping bag and layers to stay warm. A big thanks goes out to Jackson and Grand County responders, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, search dog teams, and all others who helped pull off this dramatic rescue. Moral of the story? Being prepared can make all the difference — especially when Mother Nature has other plans.

Representative Harriet Hageman has introduced the Grizzly Bear State Management Act of 2025, which supporters say reflects decades of conservation success. Grizzly numbers in the region have rebounded from just a few hundred in the 1970s to nearly 1,000 today, meeting recovery targets set back in 1993. Advocates argue it's time to return management to the states, allowing for more flexible and responsive action on local issues — especially as livestock conflicts rise. Last year, grizzlies killed 91 cattle in Wyoming, the highest number on record. The bill also aims to cut through federal red tape, reinstating a Trump-era delisting rule and blocking future legal challenges that have stalled similar efforts. Supporters say it will free up resources at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and help speed up energy development and wildlife responses. While environmental groups warn that grizzlies still face genetic and habitat threats, Wyoming leaders say the bear has recovered — and state wildlife agencies are ready to manage them responsibly. Wyoming's stance? Grizzlies have recovered. It's time to let states take the reins.

These jellyfish are no joke: they can weigh up to 50 pounds and their tentacles can stretch as long as 70 feet. From Port Aransas to Corpus Christi, beachgoers are spotting more of them than ever before. Marine biologist Jace Tunnell from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi says it's unlike anything he's seen in years of beachcombing. “I grew up on the beach and had never seen one until this year,” he said. The “pink meanie” was only officially recognized in 2011 and is known for its cotton candy color and its appetite for other jellyfish — especially moon jellies, which are currently blooming in Gulf waters. What to Do If You Get Stung While the sting isn't life-threatening, it can hurt — lasting about 10 minutes with red marks that stay for a couple of days. Here's how to treat it: Get out of the water immediately. Remove tentacles carefully using gloves or a tool — don't use bare hands. Rinse the sting with seawater, not freshwater. Pour vinegar over the sting to neutralize any remaining stinging cells. Apply hot (not scalding) water for 20 minutes to ease the pain. Avoid rubbing the area, and watch for any signs of allergic reaction. Experts say these jellyfish likely won't stick around — once cooler weather hits, both moon jellies and pink meanies are expected to disappear from Texas shores.

Did Jesus come to abolish the law, or to fulfill it? And why does St. Thomas say the New Law is actually more demanding than the Old?Together, the priests unpack the Torah, the Ten Commandments, the sacrificial system, and the judicial laws of Israel — and show how all of these find their fulfillment in Christ, the Law of Freedom and the Law of Love. You'll learn why the grace of the Holy Spirit is at the heart of Christian life, how to avoid common misunderstandings between Catholics and Protestants, and what it means to live interiorly with God's Spirit today.If you've ever wondered about the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament, this conversation will give you clarity, challenge your assumptions, and inspire you to go deeper in the Catholic faith.Topics covered:- Misconceptions about Old vs. New Testament God- The purpose of the Old Law (moral, liturgical, judicial)- Why the Old Law was incomplete- Prophecies of a New Law in Ezekiel- St. Thomas Aquinas on the grace of the Holy Spirit- Why the New Law is harder — yet possible through grace- What it means to live the Law of Love todayChapters0:00 – Introduction2:10 – The Topic 2:55 - Augustine Institute Ad4:45 - The Topic 7:40 – Misconceptions About the Law9:00 – What Is the Old Law?13:45 – Why God Gave the Law18:00 – The Limits of the Old Law22:40 – Promise of a New Law25:20 – What Is the New Law?27:30 – Moral, Liturgical, and Judicial Laws in Christ35:00 – Is the New Law Harder?41:00 – The Law of Freedom and Love47:40 – Infinite Mercy, Infinite Demands48:50 – Practical Takeaways49:27 – Closing & BlessingConnect with Logos Podcast:Website: http://www.logos-podcast.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PCPWBvNcAbptX17PzlC2x?si=BkEHS4vGSf-xmMlDFcpZ2QApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/logos-podcast/id1560191231YouTube: @logospodxastInstagram: @logospodxastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/logospodcastSponsored by the Augustine InstituteApply now: https://www.augustine.edu/logosSupport the show

    There are two strategies men deploy when they're dating, but insecure. Either they try the “Nice Guy” approach or its opposite, the pickup artist approach.  But even though these strategies are polar opposites, they suffer the same moral flaw of concealment. Whenever you put on a mask over yourself, you sever the possibility of authentic connection.  The solution? Ethical seduction based on radical transparency. This way sounds harder because it is: It requires you to be honest with yourself and the person you're attracting. It's also scarier because you face the real risk of rejection.  But you know what? It's the only moral way to find your life partner. Plus, it's not just about being honest to your partner, but also being honest with yourself - the first step towards designing a deeply fulfilling life.  In today's show, you'll discover the moral case for ethical seduction, why concealment kills connection, and a few simple ways to incorporate more ethical seduction in your love life and even your career (with real life examples you can try).  Listen now. Show Highlights Include: How being radically transparent in dating is like a cheat code for attraction, connection, and self-integration (and why most guys shy away from it) (0:30) Why the “Nice Guy” approach to dating backfires and ends in humiliation (and how to get the women you want without putting a mask on your personality) (2:14)  The moral flaw both the nice guy who can't get a date and the pickup artist who can't create a secure relationship commit (4:34)  The almost-too-simple (but effective) “Ethical Seduction” strategy for landing a date with someone you just met (5:52)  Try these 2 transparent openers on attractive women you want to genuinely connect with (they're far more effective and honest than the nice guy routine or following a pickup artist script) (6:27)  How owning your insecurity instead of hiding it instantly boosts your attractiveness (7:45)  The counterintuitive way polarization is the quickest way to find your life partner (15:16)  A silly, but true example from an old 80s sitcom about how transparency erases anxiety and unlocks the possibility for true, authentic connection (22:20) How radical transparency in leadership motivates and inspires your team (even when you're faced with insurmountable challenges) (28:57)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Feeling like success in one area of life has come at the expense of another?

    Episode #406: “I didn't come to study this subject deliberately with a focus on Buddhism,” says Justine Chambers, author of Pursuing Morality, a book that explores Buddhist moral life among the Plong community in southeast Myanmar—known to outsiders as Pwo Karen—particularly in and around the town of Hpaan. Her work, the product of many years of immersive fieldwork, traces not only Buddhist ethical practices in everyday life but also the entanglements of those practices with political transitions, spiritual power, armed conflict, and minority identity in Karen State. Chambers' journey began with refugee advocacy in Australia and continued through work in Mae Sot in 2011, just as Myanmar was opening up. Expecting a conflict zone, she found instead a vibrant town full of youth and ambition, but also widespread moral anxiety. This tension became central to her research. She came to find that morality is not innate, and must be pursued daily. She describes how for the Karen, it is shaped by social factors like gender, age, and class. Chambers corrects the common misconception that Karen identity is primarily Christian. Most Karen in lowland Myanmar are Buddhist, and many trace their spiritual heritage to the Mon and even Burmese kings. Their ethical practice is linked not just to self-cultivation, but to community well-being and even environmental harmony. Yet morality is not always peaceful. Her discussion of the charismatic yet controversial figure, U Thuzana, and the DKBA's role in the destruction of Manerplaw reveals how ethical revival can also justify violence and division. Ultimately, Chambers presents morality as both personal and collective, grounded in Buddhist cosmology but lived through daily negotiations with power, suffering, and hope. “It's also about community, and how you are [a] moral being within that community.”

    Moral Ambition: Redefining Success for the Global Good with Rutger Bregman

    The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens

    The overarching definition of success today often looks like the accumulation of stuff – money, cars, property, clothing – anything that signals wealth. This means that success is also synonymous with overshoot, extraction, and consumption – none of which lead to healthy outcomes for the planet or the global good. But what might be possible if we were to redefine success to prioritize collective well-being instead of personal gain? In today's episode, Nate sits down with Dutch historian and author Rutger Bregman to discuss the concept of moral ambition, which he defines as the desire to be one of the best, measured by different standards of success: not by big payouts or fancy honorifics, but by the ability to tackle the world's biggest problems. Bregman highlights the importance of entrepreneurs in driving social change and the necessity of cultural shifts to foster a more altruistic society, as well as the challenges faced in pursuing these ideals. What possibilities might arise if we combined the idealism of an activist with the ambition of an entrepreneur? How can we apply the principles of entrepreneurship to better address global challenges? And how could a radical redefinition of success motivate the world's top talent to make major contributions to our most pressing issues, leaving a legacy that actually makes a difference? (Conversation recorded on July 8th, 2025)   About Rutger Bregman: Rutger Bregman is a Dutch historian and author. Initially considering a career as an academic historian, Rutger instead ventured into journalism. He began his career at the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant before moving to the independent journalism platform De Correspondent, for which he wrote for ten years. His books Humankind: A Hopeful History (2020) and Utopia for Realists: And How We Can Get There (2017) were both Sunday Times and New York Times bestsellers and have been translated into 46 languages. In 2024, Rutger co-founded The School for Moral Ambition, a non-profit organization inspired by his latest book, Moral Ambition: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference. The initiative helps people to take the step toward an impactful career.

    Der nahezu totale Mangel an Männlichkeit ist die Ursache für den Niedergang Deutschlands. Feiglinge, Speichellecker und Opportunisten bestimmen über die Geschicke dieses Landes. Aber was bedeutet "Männlichkeit" überhaupt? Ist es die pervertierte, feministisch geprägte "Idealversion" eines Mannes, der schwach, feige, anpassungswillig und jederzeit unterwürfig und einwilligungsbereit ist, die sogar von vielen Männern heutzutage aggressiv propagiert wird? Oder ist es ein Ausdruck von Stärke, körperlich und mental, das Leben eines moralischen Kodex und das einstehen für das, was richtig ist? Darüber spreche ich mit Robin Klein – Unternehmer, Ex-Fremdenlegionär, Abenteurer. Er hat jahrelang in Japan gelebt um dort Kampfkunst zu lernen und ging im Anschluss daran zur Fremdenlegion. Er ein millionenschweres Unternehmen aufgebaut und bietet nun Männern die Möglichkeit, sich selbst auf Abenteuerreisen in seiner Begleitung selbst zu entdecken.

    What might lead an adventurous spiritual seeker to renounce psychedelics, repent for his colorful past, and accept Jesus Christ as his lord and savior? In this powerful episode, I sit down with evangelist, podcast host, and men's work facilitator Will Spencer to explore his remarkable journey from New Age seeker to committed Christian. Will shares his background as an underground house music DJ who spent decades exploring psychedelics, including 15 ayahuasca ceremonies, transpersonal therapy, and occult practices like Kabbalah and tarot.We dive deep into the moral contradictions he discovered in New Age beliefs, particularly around karma and the problem of evil. Will explains how learning about child sex trafficking shattered his worldview and forced him to confront uncomfortable truths about spiritual practices he once embraced. His story takes a surprising turn when he describes meeting Christians at Burning Man who showed him a different path.Our conversation examines the spiritual dangers of ayahuasca, and explores how Christian faith transformed his understanding of everyday life, marriage, and moral responsibility. This episode offers hope for anyone seeking truth beyond the spiritual marketplace of modern culture.Will Spencer is an evangelist and adventurer who journeyed from Stanford University and the Dotcom Boom through 30 countries. He's explored spiritual traditions worldwide: from meditation in the Himalayas to ayahuasca retreats in the Amazon. The Lord found him at the Burning Man festival in Nevada. Now he hosts The Will Spencer Podcast and helps rescue men from destructive thinking and find their way to Christ.

This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1215On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The math doesn't add up. That viral "800,000 missing children" claim? Pure statistical sleight of hand. Most are runaways or parental custody disputes, not shadowy trafficking rings. The reality is that stranger abductions account for just one percent of kidnapping cases.Forget the Hollywood playbook. Real trafficking isn't a panel van at Walmart waiting for the perfect victim to whisk away — it's the slow burn of grooming. Predators pose as boyfriends, exploit trust, and use psychological manipulation over months.Privilege blinds us to real victims. That suburban soccer mom convinced she's a trafficking target? Statistically safer than she thinks. Actual victims tend to come from marginalized communities, LGBTQ+ youth, immigrants, and kids in foster care — people society already overlooks.Moral panic creates real harm. Trafficking hysteria spawned laws like SESTA/FOSTA that pushed sex work underground, making it more dangerous. When we chase fictional threats, we abandon real victims who need unsexy, long-term support — not rescue fantasies.Real solutions work through boring, beautiful basics. Want to actually help? Support organizations like Polaris Project that provide housing, mental health care, legal aid, and job training.

    Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Yossi Klein Halevi. This week, we speak with Hartman Institute senior fellow, author and thinker Yossi Klein Halevi from his Jerusalem home overlooking the back of the Mount Herzl National Military Cemetery. With that backdrop, we delve into a recently published Klein Halevi essay, "Our season of reckoning: Israel’s moral crossroads in Gaza," which he said was the hardest piece he's ever written -- and the one that has received the most response. We learn why Klein Halevi felt it important to chart this moment of ethical dimension, as it is unlike any other the IDF and the nation has faced. While Klein Halevi may not have the answers to the multitude of questions facing the world's most moral army, he believes the struggle and questioning are imperative for both Israelis and Diaspora Jews. And so this week, we ask Yossi Klein Halevi, what matters now? What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

From the Pisces eclipse to the Virgo New Moon, we're navigating one of the most impactful weeks in recent history.We'll trace how COVID in 2020 became the breeding ground for alternate realities, where 60-second clips now compete with complex truths. We'll explore Saturn and Neptune in Aries — the wounded martyr meets the delusional savior — and why this transit fuels holy-war thinking, conspiracy spirals, and toxic spiritual ambition.I'll share a personal story from growing up in Germany, the difference between religion and spirituality, and why weaponizing belief steals our freedom to love. Plus, we'll dive into the Jezebel “hex on Charlie Kirk” article, why satire collided with tragedy, and why wishing harm is never the path forward.This is not partisan. This is deeper: a fracture in how we hold truth, reality, and spiritual responsibility.

    Like me, you have seen and heard the folks who are either celebrating or giving a pass to Charlie Kirk's assassination. That celebration's been pretty obvious. More subtle are the attempts to cause moral confusion. And that confusion comes specifically through both moral equivocation and the drawing of false moral equivalencies. What do those two means look like? I give examples. How do some pastors and churches fall in with equivocation and false equivalences? Why do they do that? I also mention how one Southern California university has been dealing with the Charlie Kirk murder and what it says about their values. We are now in a season of profound separation and crystallization. Is that good or bad? What do I do with the calls for unity that are now beginning to sound? Come and think with me in this formative and historic season.

    Seeing the better side of people sometimes requires a lot of faith. The large amount of negativity is built into the system for a reason. Teamwork is the physics of being human. We are designed like a relay. Now, it's our turn to carry the baton. No to noise, yes to duty. When your nervous system learns the altitude, things happen. Sitting in surplus can cause stress. Serving others is serving yourself. Insist on integrity always. The recurring loop of benefits from helping others. Milgram proved we look to others for change. Be your own architect. The factions were present at the Kirk memorial. Words and ideas should not be persecuted. The obvious and deliberate injustice of the Tina Peter's case. Precedents set can often be dangerous. We cannot survive a corrupt judiciary. Why has no one stated the obvious. The judge in the Peter's case was corrupt. Denial of appeal was because of Tina's speech. The judge admitted it. It goes so far beyond injustice. We need to talk more about elections soon. This stuff goes back to the 90's. Let's take it from the top, and see who controls the script. It's all part of the show.

    Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Yossi Klein Halevi. This week, we speak with Hartman Institute senior fellow, author and thinker Yossi Klein Halevi from his Jerusalem home overlooking the back of the Mount Herzl National Military Cemetery. With that backdrop, we delve into a recently published Klein Halevi essay, "Our season of reckoning: Israel’s moral crossroads in Gaza," which he said was the hardest piece he's ever written -- and the one that has received the most response. We learn why Klein Halevi felt it important to chart this moment of ethical dimension, as it is unlike any other the IDF and the nation has faced. While Klein Halevi may not have the answers to the multitude of questions facing the world's most moral army, he believes the struggle and questioning are imperative for both Israelis and Diaspora Jews. And so this week, we ask Yossi Klein Halevi, what matters now? What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.

    On this episode of Wife of Crime I tell Russ about the CIA's secret mind-control program known as MK Ultra. In the 1960s, a CIA scientist named Frank Olson fell from a 10th-floor Manhattan hotel window. His family was told it was suicide. But that “official story” would turn out to be the first crack exposing a web of corruption, cover-ups, and shocking experiments performed on unsuspecting citizens. This case isn't just about one man's mysterious death, it's a reminder of how easily truth can be buried when powerful institutions control the narrative. Moral of this story... In the ‘60s it was LSD. Today it's algorithms. Either way, someone is always trying to influence how you think. Big Shout out to Myrtle for helping me research this heavy hitter!
